00:00:53,200 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 1: tell me. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to another episode of My

10
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: Mama Told Me, the podcast where we dive deep deep

11
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: into the pockets of black expiracy theories and we finally

12
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: worked to prove that Wakonda Forever is some type of

13
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: government propaganda wanting to incite the race war. Why are

14
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: we fighting the Latinos, y'all. I'm David, I'm like Snick German,

15
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: And it's a fair question, it really is. It's like

16
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: to two communities, if I'm understanding the film correctly, who

17
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: who equally are Like, Hey, we we funk with vibrating,

18
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: we got some cool ship going on. We want to

19
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: protect our people, and then they just starting each other

20
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: over it. Yet another movie where the colonizers are let

21
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:56,560

Speaker 1: man who keeps trying to help us stop fighting. No,

23
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 1: that's not true. Help us win our fight against the Mexicans,

24
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: I believe is the theme here. How many movies is

25
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: it gonna take when we're fighting space Koreans? Then you

26

00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: you dare for a second start to oh, we're not

34
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: like like the horn. That's the reason they use that

35
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: to scare off Bears. Yeah, and Jamaicans. That doesn't scare

36
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,440

76
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:17,160

Speaker 1: grappled with this for years. Whoa you know we had

80
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,960

84
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,880

00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: to be black, not everyone just a great guess what

88
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: better black black chat put a blanket on it. Not

89
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: a tough transition. Come on, man, it's so European to me.

90
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 1: I just don't. It's so it's so European, and I

91
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: don't Santa Claus is yeah, And I've never heard anything

92
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: or felt anything from black and brown people that makes

93
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: it seem like Santa would be all that. I don't know, man,

94
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: it just feels like very European that you have to

95
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 1: have like a special guy that's gonna make you, make

96
00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: you want to be nice to your family for a day.

97
00:07:54,640 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: Oh that Like even the representation like what Santa represents

98
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: for you, it is such a European thing that you're

99
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: not at all sold that he might be a black

100
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,280
Speaker 1: person like I wanted. Like I said, I would like

101
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: it to be. It's the same with the Eastern Bunny.

102
00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 1: I just don't think that's a black guy. Wait, have

103
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 1: you been sitting here wanting the Easter Bunny to be

104
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: black this all time? Like I said, I never want

105
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 1: I never wanted thought about it. I've never thought about

106
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: the racial makeup of my Easter Bunny. And and let

107
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: me understand correctly, because because what you're implying is that

108
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:43,079
Speaker 1: that the Easter Bundy has a black not just I

109
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: assume you're saying black fur, that that the Easter Bunny

110
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 1: would have black fur, or you say, no, he has

111
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: a black personality. I'm saying he smokes black and mild,

112
00:08:53,880 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: that he calls him yams, and he smokes red wine,

113
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: black of vials. He's the blackest of black. I like

114
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,240
Speaker 1: the idea that that he's still a white Easter buddy,

115
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: but he's just got a black outline around his mouth

116
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: and all the blacks he's even smoking. His fur is

117
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: just staying black around the rim. Because yeah, it looks

118
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: like you've got dipped in varnish, but it's just the

119
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 1: tobacco resident he just want to put him down. Yeah. Yeah,

120
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: it looks like the walls on an old Cadillac. If

121
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 1: you're smoking there that let's be respectful. If you're smoking there,

122
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: stay it stays nice, So you're not You're not in

123
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:52,080
Speaker 1: any way sold on on a black Santa Claus. No,

124
00:09:52,240 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: but I think we have to go back to for

125
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: both of us historically. What's your relationship to Santa Claus? Yeah,

126
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:04,040
Speaker 1: I I do think that that that's important. My relationship

127
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: is a bit of a funny one in that my

128
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:11,680
Speaker 1: dad is is an atheist and so like he has

129
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:17,360
Speaker 1: always participated in sort of the holiday season because that's

130
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 1: what you do and like you are expected to sort

131
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: of do. But he's an atheist who grew up Jewish

132
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,520
Speaker 1: and then is like so like Christmas never really meant

133
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 1: anything to him, and then had a kid with a

134
00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 1: Black Christian lady and she's like, yeah, we're doing Christmas,

135
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: holidays whatever. And I think he just became a consenting

136
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: man being like all right, yeah, I mean whatever, I

137
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 1: don't give a funk kind of thing. But he wasn't

138
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: Santa clausing and and sort of like going out of

139
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,680
Speaker 1: his way to make this as much of like a

140
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,720
Speaker 1: ho ho ho vibe as he was like playing along

141
00:10:54,840 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: inside of a game that he didn't give a funk about. Right, Yeah,

142
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, all right, this is from Santa and stuff,

143
00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: but I'm not but I paid for it. Yeah, but no,

144
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: I mean you wouldn't even say it. But he's just like,

145
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna really like, I'm not gonna change my

146
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,559
Speaker 1: handwriting and put out cookies. I'm just saying he wasn't

147
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,400
Speaker 1: like to be at least Santa's coming. I mean, if

148
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: he was, he just was tired of me. It wasn't.

149
00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:26,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't because he like wanted my heart to stay

150
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: three sizes, you know, larger that day type ship. He

151
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: was like, you're gonna be out in the world, and

152
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 1: you know what the world is about. Labor Union. Yeah,

153
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: go to bed, sleepy. Yeah, well you gotta wake up.

154
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: You gotta get the rest. You could wake up and work. Yeah, no, contribute.

155
00:11:46,280 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: Were you fed Santa? Did you have Santa in the home? Man?

156
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: Not really at all. So my mom's African, so it

157
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: like she didn't have it, and she was so young

158
00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: when she got here that I think because I saw

159
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: her do it from my little brothers more who were

160
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 1: a lot younger than me. But I think by the

161
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:07,560
Speaker 1: time she even knew that it was that big a deal,

162
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: I was already old enough to have discerned. Like she

163
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: never I think sometimes, you know how sometimes you get

164
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,719
Speaker 1: presents in the mail just from people, yeah that you

165
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: know or whatever. Sometimes we'd get some of those and

166
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: they would be addressed to Santa Claus, or we'd go

167
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: to someone else's house and they do somebody all the

168
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: kids got presents from Santa, and I'd be like, candy

169
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: or something like that. Somebody else in your life was

170
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: like these boys need need Santa in their lives and

171
00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 1: we'll do it or yeah, or just like you're at

172
00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: somebody else's house. Such their traditions. But my mom never

173
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: pushed it. And then like, we lived in apartments, so

174
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 1: the Chimney thing was immediately like yeah, I mean, I

175
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: will say that happened in my apartment. That that was

176
00:12:55,840 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 1: always a conversation for apartment kids. And and as someone

177
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: who grew up in apartments as well, I had those questions.

178
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: And I did feel like a lot of it was

179
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:09,199
Speaker 1: just parents being like, oh, the back window or the

180
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:12,400
Speaker 1: back door, like it felt like it got a dressed

181
00:13:12,480 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 1: that Like Santa was like, look, everybody ain't got the

182
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 1: means so not. I never felt like he got addressed

183
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,080
Speaker 1: properly because I never heard him say it. And there

184
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:26,359
Speaker 1: was never anything. There's no apartment Christmas movies. Right, I'm

185
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: saying there's not people living. And I'm not just talking

186
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: about poor people. What about people who live in New York. Yeah,

187
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,320
Speaker 1: there's nothing any like. It was all very suburban. Yeah.

188
00:13:36,360 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: They make they make it so that the Santa movies

189
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:45,640
Speaker 1: are often exactly what Santa. The perfect circumstances for Santa

190
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:49,360
Speaker 1: to succeed, whereas like there's a bunch of places where

191
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: where it ain't so easy to drop off gifts. Yeah,

192
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: and I just like, listen, I I was a weird kid.

193
00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: I was aware of war, so I felt the same

194
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: way as Santa. God, like, if you have this much

195
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: power you going on, you're not really doing anything about

196
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 1: I don't think I really get down with you if

197
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 1: that is the case. Yeah, you got this this high

198
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: speed engine attached to reindeer, and you ain't helping to

199
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: stop the missile crisis. There's a conflict. I don't give

200
00:14:23,200 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: a shit about your nice list. A big dog, you know,

201
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 1: who else could use your help is Ukraine. They seem

202
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: to be they seemed to be uh in need of

203
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 1: a gift or two. You know, why don't you put

204
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 1: some foreign aid in that fucking giant. You seemingly have

205
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 1: unlimited resources for the children of the world, but only

206
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 1: worried about him on that day. It just just never.

207
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,800
Speaker 1: I never the sentiment never said right, no, no, I never,

208
00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 1: And then and then mix that with like my mom

209
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:02,040
Speaker 1: she just didn't there Like, I don't think she was

210
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 1: ever particularly antis Like I don't think she ever sat

211
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: me down and was like, Santa Claus is not real.

212
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: It was just obvious. But like I believe in the

213
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: tooth Fairy more than I ever believe in Santa Claus. Yeah,

214
00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: I I definitely was a tooth fairy guy. The money

215
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: was showing up. I couldn't figure out why it. He

216
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: felt pretty straightforward and it's in his delivery. Also, as

217
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,400
Speaker 1: a kid, you just assumed that you don't sleep like

218
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:31,680
Speaker 1: kids sleep like they because you know how they go.

219
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: They just go to the end of the day until

220
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 1: they can't go anymore, and then they sleep so hard. Yeah,

221
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: they run straight into a sleep wall. Yeah, face first

222
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: into a fucking brick wall, and then they're just dead.

223
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:47,760
Speaker 1: First you ever seen a kid in bed, it looks

224
00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:54,840
Speaker 1: like a crime scene. It's just so I they truly

225
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: commit sleep suicide and then wake up the next day

226
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: like what the fuck? Just like yeah, so like, but

227
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:06,000
Speaker 1: in my head, I slept like adults. So I was like, oh,

228
00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 1: I would for sure notice if someone came in my

229
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: room and lifted Meanwhile, it was probably to their parents.

230
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:16,080
Speaker 1: Probably such an easy one to pull the pillow and

231
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:19,320
Speaker 1: put the dollars that kids dead to the world. Yeah,

232
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: And also like people are constantly moving in their sleep.

233
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:23,720
Speaker 1: All I need for you is to roll over a

234
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 1: little bit. And I dropped that bad boy off and yeah, yeah, yeah,

235
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,080
Speaker 1: I'll put it on the one you weren't under it.

236
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: So like that one always made sense to me, But

237
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: the other ones, no, Well, I will say that I

238
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 1: didn't know a fair amount, not not a ton, but

239
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: a couple of black families that did make a point

240
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,160
Speaker 1: of making Santa black and like being the type of

241
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 1: people like they were parents I remember who like would

242
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: get upset if like you gave their their kid a

243
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: white doll or you know what I mean. Like that

244
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: just more to me even black Santa though I think

245
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 1: for them it was like all this ship's black, our

246
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 1: dolls are black? Are Santists are black? It's it's that

247
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,680
Speaker 1: Jessy song. But you know what I mean, I'll be

248
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: goddam yeah exactly. I think in this case it's much

249
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,480
Speaker 1: more about, like, hey, I want you to see black

250
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:26,800
Speaker 1: imagery constantly in a reflection of yourself at all times,

251
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: even if it's not like some ship, we truly believe it.

252
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: And then, like an ultimately positive person, I get that

253
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: as well. Right, Like Santa Claus, there's no stinker on him,

254
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,680
Speaker 1: so it's like, yeah, to have them be black. I

255
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:43,840
Speaker 1: can see how that's like a very positive thing, and

256
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: like I always like it. I always like seeing black

257
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: Santa Clauses. And I love black Christmas knick knacks, like

258
00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: you know when you go into the house and they

259
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,439
Speaker 1: have black angels or there's a picture that black dreaded

260
00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:58,800
Speaker 1: Jesus or whatever. I like that stuff. I like that stuff.

261
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: But I think there's more of a case for Jesus

262
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:06,720
Speaker 1: being black than Santa Claus. WHOA you are you a

263
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: believer that Jesus is black? Is that a thing that

264
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: I probably looked like the other people who looked like

265
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 1: from that place. Yeah, because the rocket sci science is like, yeah,

266
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 1: I've never the Jesus's black argument always felt more like, uh,

267
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: like us being like a little bit of like stinkers

268
00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: about the ship. Like I never fully believed that he

269
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: was a black man, but I definitely figured he looked

270
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:40,359
Speaker 1: somewhere closer to like me than he looks to the

271
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 1: current depiction of what Jesus is. Yeah, I mean the

272
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:46,320
Speaker 1: fact that they got away with like a straight white

273
00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: guy is like crazy. Yeah, No, it's pretty wild. Like

274
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't even understand it. I don't understand how anybody

275
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: believed that and then to keep it, do you know

276
00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:58,480
Speaker 1: what I mean? Like, I get how you got away

277
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: with the ship you just started put the flyers out

278
00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: and they call win, do you know what I mean? Yeah?

279
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: But now still now we've we've done it, like we've

280
00:19:10,359 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: we've traced all the history. We literally scientists every year

281
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 1: come out with like some new depiction of what Jesus

282
00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:23,280
Speaker 1: probably looked like in you know, whatever the funck zero

283
00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: A D or or BC. He'd have to be BC.

284
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: He'd be dead. Oh I heard recently he was. If

285
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:34,600
Speaker 1: you trace the year back, he was born four BC. Okay,

286
00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: hell yeah, but I think I heard I love that

287
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: comedians jokes, so I don't know if that was right.

288
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:47,760
Speaker 1: It's probably not where idiots. But but that said, we

289
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: we literally see the depictions and then still go to

290
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: churches where white Jesus proudly hangs on a wall and

291
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,359
Speaker 1: people get white Jesus tattoo was and T shirts, and

292
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: I feel like it's still very white. I don't, I

293
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 1: don't get it, but like, but I'm down to fight

294
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 1: for it. Like I said, I'm down for it. I

295
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: just Santa Claus. I just it never and maybe it

296
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:17,480
Speaker 1: was just like a hill not worth dying on to me.

297
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 1: And that's why I've never like gone as far as

298
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 1: to feel that like the relevance of like Jesus not

299
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: being white is so much bigger than me than like

300
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 1: Santa is. Like I don't know, you know what the

301
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 1: Jesus white thing is for me? It you you were

302
00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:38,160
Speaker 1: talking about why we we haven't changed it or why

303
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 1: it can't be changed. It feels similar to like when

304
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 1: everybody got upset with the Sonic the Hedgehog, you know

305
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: what I mean, where it's like, oh, they put out

306
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 1: that movie or a trailer for that movie where Sonic

307
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,920
Speaker 1: looked weird, and everybody was like, what the fund did

308
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,920
Speaker 1: you do to Sonic? Even though we had never seen

309
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 1: Sonic there it's certainly not a blue one and that

310
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: one that walks upright, he's weird speakers, what's happening? But

311
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,120
Speaker 1: it was like they did a thing and they made

312
00:21:12,160 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 1: a choice, and then we were like, that's not fucking Sonic.

313
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: Even though the motherfucker doesn't exist, we have a thing

314
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,919
Speaker 1: in our head that just makes him Sonic or not Sonic,

315
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: you know what makes me feel. I don't know how

316
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: I feel about it, but it's like I I just

317
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 1: like Black Sonic or I did oh black Sonic. I

318
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: just like I just like weird Sonic. But I'm fine

319
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:39,560
Speaker 1: with Black spider Man. That one doesn't bother me. And

320
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: spider Man wasn't black, Well Spiderman, that's that's not necessarily

321
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 1: true our our from Queen's well yeah, that that basically,

322
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 1: if you subscribe to the multiverse theory, which is a

323
00:21:54,359 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: constant in a lot of Marvel comics and universe whatever,

324
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: there are different depictions of a lot of these characters

325
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:15,959
Speaker 1: black spider Man, including let's say you have kids. Someday

326
00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: you you're building a family, do you see yourself immediately

327
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: just taking that from them. They're growing up, presumably in Denver, Colorado,

328
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: where Santa I think thrives maybe the most, Like he's

329
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: got to be a pretty cool guy. It's no, it's

330
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: a lot of people that kind of look like him.

331
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: I assume, as when your malls are packed with with

332
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: gentlemen auditioning to be Santa. This year we got regular

333
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 1: people malls. No, no, no, that's not That's not the

334
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:58,199
Speaker 1: world I've imagined were in there. Uh No, I mean

335
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: if I had Well, here's the other thing, like what

336
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,920
Speaker 1: you're saying right now, I don't because of the way

337
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: that I grew up with it and in dealing with it,

338
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that it's taking away from that child,

339
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:16,959
Speaker 1: the kids, the child's childhood. But that's such like an

340
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: American notion of like, I'm taking away from you by

341
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: not giving you this Santa. If I teach I would

342
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: imagine if I were to have children and I teach

343
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 1: them that this holiday is even less about je because

344
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: I don't know how hard I would put the Jesus narrative.

345
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 1: I think it's more about us being together, loving each other,

346
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,960
Speaker 1: and we're buying gifts, but we're buying gifts because we

347
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: love each other and all that type of thing. I

348
00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think I don't make the kids

349
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 1: missing out that much by not having this magic dude

350
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: who doesn't pay any taxes coming in the chimney. I'm

351
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: saying like, I don't feel like, what are you missing out? Well,

352
00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: here's what I'll say to to play Devil's advocate a

353
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 1: little bit. I think it's less of missing out on

354
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: something in the home and more of the sort of

355
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: like social standards that are flowing around you, right that,

356
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:08,879
Speaker 1: like they're already black, they're already fighting up hill against that.

357
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't feel like Santa Claus

358
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: is the hill to die on. No, I don't think

359
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 1: it has to be the hill to die on. But

360
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,680
Speaker 1: there is something in training your child to be the

361
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 1: one that goes to school and it's like, hey, Christmas,

362
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: sent ain't real. Fuck your traditions arette before. Yeah, it's

363
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,680
Speaker 1: like now you're not. Now you're that kid. Now you're

364
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 1: a bad You're a bad baby, and and everybody hates

365
00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: your guts just because your dad was like, Hey, I

366
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: know this is stupid, and it's like a big dog.

367
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: We all know it's stupid. Pick your stupid. I guess

368
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: it would be on my queen. Then I guess it

369
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,600
Speaker 1: would be on whatever the mom would think, like if

370
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:47,879
Speaker 1: she was really because I'm not also I'm not also

371
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,199
Speaker 1: not averse to it, like I'm not I'm not the grinch,

372
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: you know what I like. I don't hate Christmas or

373
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,560
Speaker 1: have I had some weird Christmas with some complicated things

374
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: happen you know, strippers from Hawaiian Yeah, I've had some

375
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: weird ones. I have a complicated relationship sins of the father,

376
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:11,679
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I'm not trying to yeah,

377
00:25:12,440 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: but like, yeah, so I guess if I had a

378
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: kid and so along what the mom wants me personally,

379
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,320
Speaker 1: though I don't, I wouldn't need to push it. I

380
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: feel that are you pushing it hard? I'm not pushing

381
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,440
Speaker 1: it hard, but I'm not anti the whimsy. I think

382
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: one of the things that I'm sort of discovering in

383
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 1: and being a new parent is that you want your

384
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: kid to stay a kid for as long as you

385
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:38,480
Speaker 1: possibly can, even like these small little moments of sort

386
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: of like Discovery are so fucking beautiful and charming and

387
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,119
Speaker 1: and fun to watch. That's like, yeah, if you're a

388
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: little idiot who believes in in a big old fat

389
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: man dropping off gifts, then I'm not gonna steal that

390
00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: from you. I don't. I don't want to shove it

391
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 1: down your throat. But like, that's nice that you're that dumb,

392
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, go ahead. I want to see it. I

393
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: want to see you be the biggest idiot you've ever been.

394
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: So are you buying presence and writing from Santa? I

395
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:13,480
Speaker 1: think we probably will, all right, I think, yeah, doesn't

396
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 1: that make you mad? Because you work hard all year?

397
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: I listen, I'm not buying very expensive gifts. Santa can

398
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 1: take credit for these. Yeah, it's like yeah, it's like

399
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 1: here's a teething toy for you, my dear, And it's

400
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: like I've got you a dryer race board for you.

401
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: Daddy bought that car right then, then once you become

402
00:26:41,160 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: smart to this ship, that's when I really invest I

403
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:48,000
Speaker 1: just it just seems like a weird. Also, Donna love

404
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: this whole collective tradition of Tricken children, like we're all

405
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: in on it. Oh sure, because I feel like for

406
00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: me and I'm weird. I know I'm weird, But for me,

407
00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: that would be my issue with finding out that it

408
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: wasn't real is I would definitely be on something like

409
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: you all knew, oh you would offense. That would be like,

410
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: oh you just I'm like, I'm like an idiot out here.

411
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm a fool to you. Yeah, I've just been dumby.

412
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:19,479
Speaker 1: I'm a joke. I'm a plaything whose emotions you can

413
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,399
Speaker 1: just like you know you No, no, you care about me? Uh,

414
00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:28,360
Speaker 1: very sensitive, very sensitive? Whoa. I didn't take it that personally.

415
00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, you got me, you got me,

416
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:37,879
Speaker 1: good good work. I see what you did there. Happen again? Right,

417
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: you ain't gonna give me. I know that it's not real.

418
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 1: I know it to fairy only works on weekends. You

419
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,480
Speaker 1: ain't gonna get me twice. Yeah, no, I understand now

420
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: and now I'm coming back. What do you know about you?

421
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: About that? Yeah? I I think I think what I

422
00:27:57,200 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: want is for my kid to stay a kid. And

423
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: if that means that, I just have to play along

424
00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:07,560
Speaker 1: and into your point a very European sort of like

425
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: not harmless fucking shin dig a little like ruse then

426
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:16,719
Speaker 1: I'm down for that. You know, what are you? Are

427
00:28:16,760 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: you gonna push a black Santa. I'll be real with you, man, No,

428
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: I love you. You don't have to be that righteous

429
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Santa white in my head? You know what I mean?

430
00:28:33,119 --> 00:28:35,560
Speaker 1: When I closed my eyes in a picture of he's

431
00:28:35,640 --> 00:28:43,960
Speaker 1: never black, He's never that's just shakes like a both

432
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:48,320
Speaker 1: f of strawberry preserves. Yeah, I I closed my eyes.

433
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: That's a white man, and understand. But but I I

434
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 1: was wondering what I even think Santa's hair used to

435
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: look like before he went gray. If I'm being honest,

436
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: it was blonde. Really. Yeah, I've always pictured Santa as

437
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: truly like this fucking Nordic ariyan fat man. Yeah, I

438
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,440
Speaker 1: guess young. I never even thought about young Santa before. Yes,

439
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,240
Speaker 1: is sucking me up. I never even went there. Yeah,

440
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:24,920
Speaker 1: you gotta get high and just think about I bet.

441
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 1: I bet he was fucking so much and that's why

442
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't have kids. Now I can see that. I

443
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: I yeah, I think he was buff. Yeah he was hot.

444
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he was like buff like fucking you know,

445
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 1: with the usher cut type shit. I think it's like, yeah,

446
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: the strongest man in the world. Type buff where it's

447
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: like the Swedes. Yeah, exactly, big he could he could

448
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 1: lift a big concrete boulder onto a raised platform. Uh huh,

449
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: and he'll do it six more times until he's the

450
00:29:55,560 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 1: world champion. Like Santa was flipping tires, he wasn't necessary

451
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: really doing a lot of core work, not at all.

452
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 1: He could pull the truck with his teet though. That

453
00:30:09,080 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: yeah Santa, But yeah, no, I I don't think that

454
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 1: that's that I'm if I'm being honest, I'd be lying

455
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: if I said that Santa has been anything but white

456
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 1: for me. But I've also I've never where you were, Like,

457
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,240
Speaker 1: I don't see the point of Santa or the need

458
00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 1: for Santa. I think I've never understood the need for

459
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:35,800
Speaker 1: Santa to be black, Like, I don't understand how that,

460
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:39,160
Speaker 1: other than him just being a good dude, how that

461
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: would give anybody comfort. I mean, it's yeah, it's like

462
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:47,680
Speaker 1: false representation, you know what, you know what not false representation,

463
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: but it's not necessary representation. Yeah, I know what I mean.

464
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: I think I want to fight for black directors more

465
00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: than I give a funk about like black Santa exactly. Like, yeah,

466
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 1: like black Santa doesn't what does that wind do. Yeah,

467
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't. There's no victory in Black Santa where it

468
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: almost feels like Black Santa would affect white children more

469
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: than it would affect black children, right, you know what

470
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 1: I mean, Like it would be white like white people

471
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 1: would have to be like, well they're actually they make

472
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: us presents. Yeah right, that that for a white child,

473
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 1: For a white child, that feels like, yeah, Santa's gotta

474
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: work on the on the holiday. Yeah yeah, yeah, you

475
00:31:35,560 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: can't get the day off. He's gotta take us. Let's

476
00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 1: be honest, the man employee, slave labor. It's a lot

477
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,120
Speaker 1: darker if a black man's doing that. Yeah, it's got

478
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: a little bit more of that. Wakanda forever. You know,

479
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: I love trash and Wakanda forever. Someone get this chicken

480
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 1: away from me. We're gonna get in trouble for it.

481
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:05,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, I fell asleep, so it was born that

482
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: said I I do. That's interesting to think that truly

483
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: the only person, only people it would benefit to have

484
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: a Black Santa is little white children, and they're not

485
00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,760
Speaker 1: taking advantage of it. And maybe that's a good way

486
00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: for us to go to this break is by encouraging

487
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: you out there. If you are, in fact a person,

488
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: a white person with white children. You should be telling

489
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,560
Speaker 1: them about a black Santa, because it is finally your

490
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: chance to restore the the slave mentality that that birth

491
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: this nation and made you so great in the first

492
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: back you weren't the only ones with slaves. Yeah, come on, dog,

493
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: black Santa, you gotta you gotta start the journey all

494
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 1: over again to get back to where you want to be.

495
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: How did all of this trouble begin? America? All right,

496
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: we're gonna be We're gonna take a break. We'll be

497
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: back with more, David, more lengths and the more. My

498
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:17,240
Speaker 1: mama told me, because lovell goodel good, and you sing

499
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: good and make love good. Oh oh yeah, we're back

500
00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: here with more, my mama told me. We're still talking

501
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:32,160
Speaker 1: about the possibility that Santa Clause was in fact a

502
00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,880
Speaker 1: black man, secretly or not so secretly. I don't think

503
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: he was hiding it. He wasn't passing. No, No, I

504
00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 1: don't think so. But I can't tell right covert are

505
00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: we are? We come at this? This is a conspiracy?

506
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:50,440
Speaker 1: Like he was all he was always black, and there

507
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: was like a cover up. I think that would be

508
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 1: the argument, right, is that, or at least that would

509
00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: be My presumed argument for this is that it Santa

510
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:03,720
Speaker 1: Claus began as a black man, as so many men

511
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:08,760
Speaker 1: did in this world, and then through whitewashing and history

512
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: and and mixing and matching, we suddenly found ourselves with

513
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:20,120
Speaker 1: jolly old saying Nick a very white, very non ethnic man. Okay,

514
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:25,439
Speaker 1: that's all right. You know what it is. I wish

515
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,719
Speaker 1: that I cared. Well, it's good we made it the

516
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: holidays special. Then, No, I mean I care about black conspiracy.

517
00:34:34,760 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: I just wish that. I like, like, I'm not a

518
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: Christmas guy. I got you, That's that's what it is. More,

519
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:44,320
Speaker 1: I'm not a Christmas guy. I'm like, uh, I'm like

520
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:48,320
Speaker 1: I like a like a Labor Day barbecue, you know

521
00:34:48,360 --> 00:34:50,560
Speaker 1: what I mean, like Memorial Day. I think they book

522
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 1: in the summer. Nice, but like, yeah, I'm not like, yeah,

523
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: I got you. But I am down to fight for

524
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,360
Speaker 1: black Santa Claus if that is my role on this podcast. No,

525
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,439
Speaker 1: you don't have to fight for him. I think, in fact,

526
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: your role has become funck that guy pretty clearly. And

527
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:11,719
Speaker 1: in that way, maybe I'll fight for black Santa Claus. Look,

528
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: here's what's gonna happen, and this is a good way

529
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,360
Speaker 1: for us to transition. I did some research, will unpack

530
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,560
Speaker 1: some of this research. You you tell me if any

531
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: of this sways you in one direction or another, all right,

532
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: let's do it. Because I want to hear these facts.

533
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:33,719
Speaker 1: I don't want them to be called facts, because the

534
00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:38,360
Speaker 1: reality is I haven't verified ship. But the information that

535
00:35:38,480 --> 00:35:43,120
Speaker 1: I've began together, So the legend of Santa Claus, what

536
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: we were, at least what we've called Santa Claus, can

537
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: be traced back to to A D A D. To

538
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 1: a D A D so mad long ago. So Jesus

539
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,920
Speaker 1: was way dead. Jesus was way dead, but but way

540
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,480
Speaker 1: more alive than he's ever been, you know, for us

541
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: at least, but to A D A D. It's traced

542
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: back to this monk named St. Nicholas, who was born

543
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 1: in Potara near mirror Myra in modern day Turkey. So

544
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:18,640
Speaker 1: he was Turkish. Yeah, this is a Turkish dude named St. Nicholas,

545
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:22,640
Speaker 1: that Turkish monk, excuse me, named St. Nicholas. And now

546
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: I know, but if other people in the you know,

547
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,360
Speaker 1: for the rest of our ignorant buffoon list, the Turkish people,

548
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: the Turks if you will, Yeah, young Turk and the

549
00:36:36,440 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 1: rest Yeah, man, if I am correcting my thinking or not. Now,

550
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: they don't look like Santa Claus by any means. I

551
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:53,120
Speaker 1: think if if we were going with a Turkish Santa Claus,

552
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:56,840
Speaker 1: he should have like a thick, dark mustache with no beard,

553
00:36:57,360 --> 00:37:00,720
Speaker 1: and he should have like eyebrows that look like rackon tails.

554
00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: And they should be whoa very thick, very thick eyebrows,

555
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: and you should be holding like a sticker that said

556
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 1: I voted for doctor Oz. You know what I mean.

557
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: It's that's a Turkish Man. That's what you should be driving.

558
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,800
Speaker 1: That's not what I said. Oh I'm I'm out of line.

559
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: That's occupational, that's occupational. The eyebrows are are are objective

560
00:37:31,280 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 1: every Turkish Man. The eyebrows look like a jungle that

561
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: you gotta chop through to to find a treasure. Oh boy,

562
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: oh boy, this is on Christmas time. You do this,

563
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:51,360
Speaker 1: you pull this on Christmas. I've only known conflict that

564
00:37:51,520 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 1: Christmas my home. My homes weren't always the most stable,

565
00:37:57,760 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 1: wasn't it nice having two Christmas is? Now, there were

566
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,440
Speaker 1: times where it was pretty fly. I would I'm not

567
00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna lie there be days where like you get like

568
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:09,560
Speaker 1: some dope ship at your your mom's house and then

575
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: my parents weren't together, that was more question. No, I

576
00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 1: I don't think I ever desired them together or apart,

577
00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,560
Speaker 1: Like they got along well enough that like it wasn't

578
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: but it always felt like, hey, we're friends, were cool,

579
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: but it wasn't like, man, the chemistry in here is

580
00:38:50,960 --> 00:38:55,800
Speaker 1: fucking rocking, you got. Yeah, it was never that. It

581
00:38:55,960 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 1: was always like, okay, the energy seems exactly right for divorced,

582
00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:05,760
Speaker 1: you see, using perfectly content not being with each other's

583
00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:07,879
Speaker 1: though I ain't gonna I ain gonna rock that boat,

584
00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,440
Speaker 1: but it's amicable. Yeah, but no, nobody's nobody's you know,

585
00:39:12,640 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 1: making me uh, you know, tell the other person something

586
00:39:16,239 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: they're not willing to say to their face kind of thing.

587
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 1: All right, what's yeah? No, I was solid so No,

588
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: I didn't want them back together, or nor did I

589
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 1: like cheer at the the divorce as much as I

590
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 1: was like, damn to Christmas, is to holidays. It was crazy,

591
00:39:35,760 --> 00:39:40,399
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, But but some of that I think

592
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: didn't always pan out quite as effectively. I think. I

593
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:49,879
Speaker 1: think because holidays are celebrated so separately, you you find

594
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: yourself getting more of like two things, whereas like birthdays

595
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:58,760
Speaker 1: are a little more just central you. So they sometimes

596
00:39:58,880 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: team up to get you something and ship like that,

597
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So they're still a team. Man,

598
00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:11,160
Speaker 1: it worked out pretty good, all right. I want to know, listen,

599
00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: we come from different types of poor oken homes. It's

600
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: always interesting. Yeah, it's I think. I think that's fair.

601
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 1: So so that said. St. Nicholas was was Turkish. He

602
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:25,880
Speaker 1: was known specifically for his kindness. He was kind of like, uh,

603
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:32,400
Speaker 1: this really kind of like you're in charge of the drops.

604
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: It feels like there was meant to be one there,

605
00:40:34,360 --> 00:40:37,800
Speaker 1: I know. I was like, sometimes as many as we have,

606
00:40:38,120 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: we need more. Yeah, we don't have one for every

607
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 1: season yet, you know what I mean. You gotta be

608
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 1: able to predict every reality, and right now we're only

609
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:52,360
Speaker 1: hitting a few, but one time, this is this is

610
00:40:52,440 --> 00:40:54,560
Speaker 1: sort of the kindness he was best known for. One

611
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 1: time he saved three poor sisters, this is a legend, obviously,

612
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,520
Speaker 1: from being sold into slavery or prostitution by their father.

613
00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: When he provided them with a dowry so that they

614
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:09,279
Speaker 1: could be married. He basically like paid their dowry so

615
00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:11,800
Speaker 1: that they wouldn't have to he sold them to a

616
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:17,400
Speaker 1: different man. Yeah, kind of if you want to be

617
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,920
Speaker 1: all two and woke about it. That was not woke.

618
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:26,120
Speaker 1: I just said, what happened, my man, Saint Nicholas did

619
00:41:26,200 --> 00:41:28,719
Speaker 1: the best he could for a two A D A

620
00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:34,840
Speaker 1: D problem. And you're like, uh, wake up. The women

621
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: he paid their dowries, So does that mean they had

622
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: to go with him, because that's not I think the

623
00:41:41,560 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: implication is because he's a monk that he's not like

624
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: collecting bitches as much as he is a a dude

625
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 1: who paid it off so that they could go do

626
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,440
Speaker 1: whatever the funk they wanted to do. If their dad

627
00:41:54,560 --> 00:41:56,360
Speaker 1: was gonna sell him into slavery, you don't think he

628
00:41:56,400 --> 00:42:00,279
Speaker 1: would have just taken out and been like I'm and listen,

629
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 1: I don't I don't doubt for a second that that

630
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: father didn't eventually sell them into I think that don't.

631
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 1: Don't don't take my response in anyway as doubting that

632
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 1: that father didn't take advantage of a little extra change

633
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:24,800
Speaker 1: and some slaves. That said, I do think that that St.

634
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 1: Nicholas's initial effort is an is an admirable one. Also,

635
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:31,400
Speaker 1: if he was a monk, where do you get on

636
00:42:31,480 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 1: that money? That's a big question that I I think

637
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 1: I found myself asking and didn't want to dig further

638
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:41,160
Speaker 1: to find out. You know, it feels like, oh, you

639
00:42:41,200 --> 00:42:43,520
Speaker 1: can started finding out where monks get their money, and

640
00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: you you see some dark ship. Yeah, I believe it. Bro,

641
00:42:47,080 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't know what that up to, but I don't

642
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,600
Speaker 1: trust him. What's under the row? What's under the road? Bro?

643
00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:55,160
Speaker 1: Take that rob off. There's a little too flowy for

644
00:42:55,280 --> 00:43:03,440
Speaker 1: my days. I don't like it. So this St. Nicholas,

645
00:43:03,520 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: he becomes more and more popular, so so popular that

646
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:10,799
Speaker 1: he becomes the patron saint of protecting children and sailors.

647
00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: For some reason, it was children to Yeah, I don't

648
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,360
Speaker 1: know why sailors are being treated with the same vulnerability

649
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: as children, like one group needs protection from being sold

650
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: into slavery. Or sex slavery. The other group needs protection

651
00:43:27,080 --> 00:43:32,040
Speaker 1: from sailors. Yeah. I don't like this. I don't like

652
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:35,680
Speaker 1: your grouping. Yeah, it's a weird grouping. It feels like,

653
00:43:36,239 --> 00:43:38,880
Speaker 1: you know when in Congress when they passed bills, but

654
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,839
Speaker 1: then they squeeze in a little extra something that has

655
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that bill. Yeah, this, this bill

656
00:43:45,800 --> 00:43:49,160
Speaker 1: is gonna make it so that, uh, that interracial marriages

657
00:43:49,239 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: can happen. And also it's uh, it's gonna make sure

658
00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:56,719
Speaker 1: that Road fifteen stays closed forever. And it's like, hey,

659
00:43:56,760 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 1: what was that Row fifteen ship? Yeah? Wait wait did hey,

660
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 1: wait wait a minute, I ain't got anohing to do

661
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,600
Speaker 1: with nothing, and what why do you want to close

662
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:09,239
Speaker 1: so bad? Yeah? That's yeah, for sure, for sure. Yeah. So,

663
00:44:09,640 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 1: so he becomes this very popular patron saint, and over

664
00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: the years this popularity spread until he became essentially the

665
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:20,960
Speaker 1: most popular saint in Europe, like, more popular than all

666
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:24,759
Speaker 1: the other saints that were available. I don't know very

667
00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 1: many of them, but apparently, uh, they all sucked it

668
00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,719
Speaker 1: compared to this dude. St. Nicholas. And just while he

669
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,279
Speaker 1: was alive. He's alive, and this is he's popping like

670
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:36,080
Speaker 1: that so he starts popping while he's alive, but it

671
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,560
Speaker 1: really takes off once he's dead. I think, like a

672
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:43,279
Speaker 1: lot of things, that it became a larger sort of

673
00:44:43,400 --> 00:44:45,759
Speaker 1: like legend. It's sort of the Gandhi ship, you know

674
00:44:45,800 --> 00:44:47,680
Speaker 1: what I mean, where it's like Gandhi was popping when

675
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: he was alive, but people still knew that, yeah, and

676
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,600
Speaker 1: hated black people and ship. And then and once he died,

677
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:59,280
Speaker 1: it was like, oh yeah, now this dude is a saint.

678
00:44:59,400 --> 00:45:02,319
Speaker 1: He can never he can do no wrong. Yeah, I'm

679
00:45:02,360 --> 00:45:06,680
Speaker 1: ready to die, which is why you stop eating. Yeah,

680
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:10,080
Speaker 1: exactly right. I don't forget everything I said about what

681
00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:23,600
Speaker 1: kinda forever he had great film. So over the years

682
00:45:23,680 --> 00:45:29,239
Speaker 1: his popularity spread now what we now spread throughout You

683
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: know he was from Asia, Yeah technically, although you know

684
00:45:33,560 --> 00:45:37,040
Speaker 1: Turkey I think falls into that weird space where it's

685
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,879
Speaker 1: like kind of both it's that your Asia ship. Yeah,

686
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: when he calls Far East, I can't quite tell. People

687
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,120
Speaker 1: look like they could be from either place. Yeah, they're

688
00:45:45,200 --> 00:45:48,080
Speaker 1: they're real. It's a real nebulous zone of like, hey,

689
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:50,560
Speaker 1: what do y'all, Who do y'all belong to? Because white

690
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 1: people are real mean to you but not mean enough

691
00:45:53,520 --> 00:45:56,200
Speaker 1: that it it seems like they're like, you know what

692
00:45:56,200 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: I mean, against you fundamentally. Also, they don't seem to

693
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:05,359
Speaker 1: be with us fundamentally even yea, whose team y'all on? Yeah,

694
00:46:05,440 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 1: what are you playing? All right? So it's read throughout Europe.

695
00:46:11,640 --> 00:46:17,200
Speaker 1: He spreads throughout Europe, but specifically the celebration of his death,

696
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,200
Speaker 1: the anniversary of his death becomes sort of the most

697
00:46:20,320 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 1: popular acknowledgement of St. Nicholas and his his celebrity, right,

698
00:46:26,120 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: and the celebration of his death is a feast day

699
00:46:29,480 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: and traditionally considered a lucky day to make large purchases

700
00:46:34,120 --> 00:46:37,520
Speaker 1: or get married. Those were sort of like the big

701
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 1: things that you wanted to do on St. Nicholas's feast day.

702
00:46:41,160 --> 00:46:43,359
Speaker 1: Those are only things I would imagine doing on bad day.

703
00:46:43,480 --> 00:46:48,759
Speaker 1: But continue, but that that is essentially what Christmas is

704
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:53,239
Speaker 1: is us just making insanely large purchases and justifying it

705
00:46:53,360 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: by giving it to another person instead of ourselves. All right,

706
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,279
Speaker 1: all right, so he was oppin he died. Now he's

707
00:47:02,320 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 1: super poppling celebrating his birthday every year. Yeah, And so

708
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 1: it actually doesn't And this obviously all happens in the

709
00:47:11,800 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: fucking early a d s and ship. He said he

710
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: died sixty to eight. No, he was born into e

711
00:47:20,640 --> 00:47:28,800
Speaker 1: d he died I assumed as Zomi died much younger

712
00:47:28,920 --> 00:47:35,000
Speaker 1: than uh than a man is supposed to die. All right.

713
00:47:35,880 --> 00:47:38,759
Speaker 1: What's interesting is that like it's it's you know, he

714
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: becomes very popular, he's he's sort of known all around

715
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:47,040
Speaker 1: whatever whatever, But it doesn't actually start to gain traction

716
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,440
Speaker 1: in America, Like none of this actually even comes up

717
00:47:51,200 --> 00:47:55,279
Speaker 1: or spreads like throughout the world except Holland. Holland like

718
00:47:55,480 --> 00:47:57,799
Speaker 1: stays real loyal to this ship all the way through.

719
00:47:58,160 --> 00:48:00,840
Speaker 1: But Santa Claus didn't make it to America until December

720
00:48:00,960 --> 00:48:06,080
Speaker 1: seventeen seventy three. Yes, it is because of the Dutch,

721
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: which is making me more Yeah, the Dutch, you know,

722
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:19,400
Speaker 1: the classic slave owners, the Dutch. But in seventeen seventy

723
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:23,400
Speaker 1: three and seventy four, when in New York newspaper basically

724
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: reported that groups of Dutch families, you're right, had gathered

725
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: to honor St. Nicholas, then known as Center Claus on

726
00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:36,279
Speaker 1: his death day. So they had a block party. In

727
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: the end, they had a block party in New York

728
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: and then the New York Times wrote about it two

729
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,719
Speaker 1: years in a row, and suddenly we had Santa Claus. Wait, no,

730
00:48:46,239 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: that's a bridge to no, when did he get the

731
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:52,840
Speaker 1: red sack in the elves? Well, that's that's a slightly

732
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:57,120
Speaker 1: different answer, right. So yes, I am not pulling back

733
00:48:57,160 --> 00:48:59,480
Speaker 1: when I say that is how we got Santa Claus.

734
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 1: Here is more or less these Dutch families throwing a

735
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: block party. Now. What I will also say is that

736
00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 1: their depiction of center clause is not in any way

737
00:49:11,800 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: a reflection of the current Santa that we have today.

738
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:18,520
Speaker 1: It's not the jolly, jolly fat man with the hat

739
00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,800
Speaker 1: and all of that ship. I think dutchman smoking a cigarette.

740
00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:28,320
Speaker 1: It was just thick shoes, very thick, very wooden juice.

741
00:49:28,320 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: It's the Turkish guy hitting the hookah huh. He's got

742
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:38,320
Speaker 1: a polo shirt tucked in his belt. You know, the vibes,

743
00:49:38,520 --> 00:49:47,839
Speaker 1: but not real polo. US Polo Association what I think

744
00:49:47,920 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: we should do. By the way, also this holiday season,

745
00:49:50,560 --> 00:49:54,000
Speaker 1: watch out guys that US Polo Association and I'll get

Speaker 1: you fooling anybody. It'll get you big dogs. Know you

747
00:49:58,320 --> 00:50:00,480
Speaker 1: don't want to get stuff with that, with that kind

00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:03,839
Speaker 1: of stuff, man or nothing man, don't be like that. Yeah,

00:50:04,000 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 1: don't you ain't gotta do all that, and listen, there

00:50:06,680 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: are a lot of affordable polo options available to you.

Speaker 1: I don't know if they are a sponsor of this episode,

752
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: but I pray, I pray that that POLO is and

00:50:22,680 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: US Polo Association is not. Yeah, I'm going on the

756
00:50:26,520 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 1: records being fully anti US Polo Association. Thank God. What

757
00:50:31,320 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: if what if I found out you were into that

758
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 1: and that ended the show forever? It would be a

759
00:50:36,400 --> 00:50:38,239
Speaker 1: lot like when I found out you were in the

760
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:41,200
Speaker 1: Mountain Dew. I would think, you keep saying and then

761
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:45,200
Speaker 1: we would move on. You keep saying that, But I'm

762
00:50:45,239 --> 00:50:48,880
Speaker 1: not into Mountain Dew. I was. I think that if

763
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,959
Speaker 1: you had no concern for your health more well being,

764
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:53,719
Speaker 1: you would still be in the Mountain Dew. Is that

765
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:06,719
Speaker 1: ha ha? You want it? You want it? You want

766
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:10,720
Speaker 1: that green goodness society. Look, come on, man, your lip shaking.

767
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:13,479
Speaker 1: You see all these new flavors, that's gotta be help

768
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,600
Speaker 1: for you. It's just a very specific taste that's like,

769
00:51:18,040 --> 00:51:21,000
Speaker 1: that's gotta be like a heroinoutic walking back under the bridge,

770
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:26,040
Speaker 1: past the seven eleven cooler with all the new ship.

771
00:51:26,080 --> 00:51:28,839
Speaker 1: You gotta hide your baby's eyes. I think the dude,

772
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,120
Speaker 1: I think the dude has done right by a bunch

773
00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:35,520
Speaker 1: of us, you know us. He's what he says. Listen

774
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:39,680
Speaker 1: to the words, people, Yeah, brothers and sisters, my dewey

775
00:51:39,800 --> 00:51:46,479
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters. Wake up, wake up, wake up. Don't

776
00:51:46,719 --> 00:51:49,440
Speaker 1: do that's what that's that's the new model. Don't the dude.

777
00:51:49,840 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: You lead you don't be scared of it. But I'm

778
00:51:53,160 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: saying in the vacuum, you're a bachelor right now. You

779
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: have nothing to live for. Ye are you still on

780
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:02,520
Speaker 1: the dude? I think I would partake every once in

781
00:52:02,600 --> 00:52:05,320
Speaker 1: a while, but I don't think let me be clear,

782
00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,439
Speaker 1: I don't think I would. I would prefer it over

783
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:11,839
Speaker 1: like every other soda. I think it just would make

784
00:52:11,880 --> 00:52:16,000
Speaker 1: it into you know, a fucking you know interesting. You

785
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: don't think it would be the go to, No, I

786
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,880
Speaker 1: think it would just be a part of a rotation.

787
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 1: I think I'd foked around with some Dr Pepper. I

788
00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,239
Speaker 1: think i'd buy vanilla coax like. I think I'd be

789
00:52:25,320 --> 00:52:29,439
Speaker 1: a very different man. Yeah, it's that a very different man. Yeah.

790
00:52:32,920 --> 00:52:37,360
Speaker 1: Water now, I haven't had a soda in in years.

791
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: I truly, I'm constantly worried that, like every choice I'm

792
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: making is gonna kill me. And if I had no

793
00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:48,719
Speaker 1: responsibilities and didn't give a funk about vanity, I would

794
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:52,320
Speaker 1: truly just I'd eat honey buns and mountain dew and

795
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:57,239
Speaker 1: you know, and drink mountain dew and fucking board thirty five.

796
00:52:57,360 --> 00:52:59,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't give a fun skateboard. I did not see

797
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,080
Speaker 1: that's I do, baby, it was. It was the ex

798
00:53:05,160 --> 00:53:11,400
Speaker 1: first extreme soda. Well, here's what I think we should do,

799
00:53:11,480 --> 00:53:14,359
Speaker 1: because this is what we we didn't even warn our

800
00:53:14,480 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 1: listeners ahead of time. But this is gonna be a

801
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,320
Speaker 1: two part episode. We're gonna spend We're gonna spend a

802
00:53:19,360 --> 00:53:23,760
Speaker 1: little bit longer talking shit about old Black Santa, old

803
00:53:24,800 --> 00:53:31,680
Speaker 1: Nigga st Nick. That's not what I'm doing. And so

804
00:53:31,880 --> 00:53:35,000
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna take another break and and possibly

805
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:37,640
Speaker 1: this is maybe the end of the episode, this episode,

806
00:53:37,680 --> 00:53:41,080
Speaker 1: and then we'll come back to a new episode continued
