It's just uh, 0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:29.639 your co host Josh Johnson talking to your other co hosts. 0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.479 Those says long. And what we haven't talked about is 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:40.960 my brand new nose ring bam bam m nose rings. 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.520 I wanted to nose rinks since I was fourteen years old, 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:45.920 and I could not get one because of acting and 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:49.600 modeling and stuff. But now your girl has an established career. 0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.320 So if I want to put a piece of metal 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:58.680 in my face, like shot through the nostrils, it's all 0:00:58.760 --> 0:01:02.920 up to you. Bro hurt so bad apparently, Oh my god, 0:01:04.000 --> 0:01:06.679 And like I bled a lot because she was saying, 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:08.280 like I was bleeding, and she was like, were you 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:12.120 drinking yesterday? And I was like yes. Apparently that's why 0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:14.520 you're not supposed to get like piercings or tattoos when 0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.280 you're That's why you can't when you're drunk. Because it 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.280 makes you bleed more because your blood stead I am. 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.800 I am indeed happy for you. I'm just glad any 0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:26.880 time childhood dream can come true. You know, it hurts 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:29.320 so much and I got so overwhelmed. But while she 0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:30.560 was in the middle of do it, she was like, 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:35.720 I'm proud of you, and for some reason, oh my god, 0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.000 I'm gonna cheer up again. It's like it made me 0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:40.720 feel so much better because she was like, I'm proud 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.319 of you. You did a good job. I love you. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:45.039 You're doing a good job. And I was like, and 0:01:45.200 --> 0:01:47.520 all of it, because, like you, it's it's so much 0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.680 pain at once and it's your face, so you just 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:52.760 freak the funk out for like a second. But she 0:01:52.840 --> 0:01:54.559 was like, you're doing a good job. I'm so proud 0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:56.880 of you. And so to be in that moment where 0:01:56.920 --> 0:01:59.160 I'm that much pain, but then for somebody to like 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.520 be very comforting and sweet, it like really just kind 0:02:02.520 --> 0:02:07.040 of almost reset my brain a little bit. Her name 0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:13.400 is Genie. It's lived by the Sword tattoo. Okay, well, yeah, 0:02:13.600 --> 0:02:16.720 shout out to her and doing a great job and 0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.440 making you feel comfortable, making you feel seen and loved 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.120 and held you know, yeah, because she called herself the 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:24.920 gentle piercon and I was like, there's still a needle 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.880 going through my nose um, but now I get it, Like, oh, 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.720 it was really nice. And then she found some studs 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.440 for my second hole in my hair. Because these ships, 0:02:32.800 --> 0:02:34.560 you know, when you get something done in a flea market, 0:02:34.600 --> 0:02:37.160 you know, you get what you pay for it. You'd 0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:38.799 have thought they would have healed up by the time 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:42.000 I got out of the ninth grade. But hey man, 0:02:42.720 --> 0:02:44.560 we're all out here doing our best. I think if 0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:47.720 you are about to get a flea market tattoo, though, 0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:51.880 any any person out here listening to the podcast thinking 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:55.640 about getting a tattoo from your local flea market, you know, 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:59.000 right after you go to the farmer's market, I would say, 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.720 maybe maybe hold up on that. Take a second, take 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.799 a second to think about it. Think about if the 0:03:05.919 --> 0:03:09.519 artwork you want done can be done by anybody else 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:14.080 that's an actual tattoo shop. Now, not to say somebody 0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.520 who's in a flea market is not good, No, no, 0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.520 it's not about them being good. It's about them having 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.040 the proper tool. You know what it's like. It's like 0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:23.880 when you're watching a mob movie. All right, and the 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:27.119 person that that the mob is after, or the other 0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.320 mob is after, i should say, or even the police. 0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:32.320 The person that's in the mob gets all shot up 0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:34.880 by somebody and then they take them to the mob 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.680 doctor's house. And the mob doctor always has the same speeches, 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:40.080 like why you come my home. It's like, well, sir, 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:43.240 we know where you live, and we were in a hurry. Okay, 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.600 so we've been here six times this week. Yeah, but 0:03:46.680 --> 0:03:48.600 they're like, why did you come to my home? And 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.480 I can't do it here. He needs real surgery. We 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:54.120 got to go to a hospital. That's all I'm saying. 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:58.040 That mob doctor is still a doctor. He's a but 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:01.840 he's still a doctor, you know. But he cannot with 0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.560 the tools he has available to him, do his job 0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:06.839 to the best of his ability. But if I have 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.840 a booth in the flea market, because I've seen tattoo 0:04:09.920 --> 0:04:12.640 artists in a flea marketing before, they have all of 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.160 the same tools that you'll see, Okay, I mean I've 0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.880 never got a tattooed before, so maybe it's all the 0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:19.680 same stuff. It's just a machine, my friend, the tattoo 0:04:19.720 --> 0:04:27.960 I have on my hand. M wait, no, as someone 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:30.440 who knows you. I know the tattoo you're talking about. 0:04:32.240 --> 0:04:35.200 But Josh Johnson, were running enough tangents today. I think 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.719 it's time for us to talk about the topic at hand. 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:44.120 The topic at hand is Santa Clause, Santa Claus old 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:52.159 st Nick Chris motherfucking Cringo himself. And I know the 0:04:52.160 --> 0:04:53.680 audience is one of the Wait a minute, I they're 0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.120 talking about that, they're Santa Claus. We can't be talking 0:04:56.160 --> 0:05:00.240 about whether he's real or not because we already The 0:05:00.440 --> 0:05:04.840 question is should we be telling the children about this 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:11.160 man or not? That is the question. So Josh Johnson 0:05:11.160 --> 0:05:14.520 telling the people what side you fall on when it 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:19.680 comes to the existence of Santa Claus. Should we be 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:21.640 telling the children or not? Because he was ready to go. 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:27.599 You was trained to go as someone who believes in whimsy, 0:05:28.279 --> 0:05:32.200 as someone who loves wonder. You try to act like 0:05:32.240 --> 0:05:36.760 I don't love Whimsey and wonder wow the attacks as 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:45.159 someone who believes in magic. We're both friends with Matt Richards, 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:51.679 so yes, we were believing in magic. One who who 0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:58.560 believes that a childhood has some magic in it has 0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:06.040 some in childhood, Josh, the whole childhood, you know? Um, 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:13.520 I think that's Santa is a good starter lesson. I 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:18.840 think it's a I think it's worthwhile endeavor less than 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.600 in what adults will lie to you? Yes, that that too, 0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:26.400 what's your lesson? Because my lesson is adults will lot 0:06:26.480 --> 0:06:28.320 to you? I mean, adults will lie to you is 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:32.360 a great one. That's no one is disputing that like that. 0:06:33.560 --> 0:06:36.719 Let's get that one out the way, all right. You 0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:39.239 looked into the eyes of a child and you lied 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:45.560 your face. Hey, so now when this child, instead of 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.080 being two, is twenty two and there's another growth person 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.000 in their face, try to lie. They'll be like, I 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.640 remember this, I've been living through this for two decades. 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:57.040 All right, I'm ready. I'm prepped. Okay, in your world 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.840 with no practice, they'd be like, oh yeah, sure, you 0:07:00.040 --> 0:07:02.320 mus owned this house as a poetry major, you know 0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.640 what I mean. So then that's my thing is that 0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:08.919 you know, it helps it helps instill a sense of 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:14.280 how the world works. I think it introduces fantasy in 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:17.880 a way that it is both fun and has stakes, 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:22.239 you know, and has a payoff at the end. Okay, 0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:33.000 once again, incorrect. I remember telling us some evil woman 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.160 that I used to work with, not evil hateful, hateful 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.600 little woman that I used to work with that when 0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.239 I was growing up, because it was like around Christmas 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.040 time or whatever. And I said, when I was growing up, 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:47.120 you know, my mom never told us to saying it 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:50.440 was real. She didn't tell us he wasn't real, but 0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.800 she never said that he was and he was. She 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:56.880 was like, oh you. She tried to tell me that 0:07:56.920 --> 0:08:01.360 I had a bad childhood because my mother didn't tell 0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.000 me that some fictional white man was breaking into our 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:08.480 house to bring me presents. And I was like, you 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:13.200 think my entire childhood it was bad for this one. 0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:15.920 Let me let me get up because I almost said 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:17.640 something that was gonna get me in a fight that day. 0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:21.640 There's so many other things that happened, Like I didn't 0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.520 grow up with a father. You think that affected Santa Claus. 0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.680 You think Santa Claus was partiplately. That's what you think 0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:31.680 took my childhood out? Was one nigga once a year 0:08:33.080 --> 0:08:36.520 claiming to do something that he didn't do. But look, 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.080 did you ever did you ever wonder what it would 0:08:40.080 --> 0:08:42.320 have been like to sit in Santa's lap and tell 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:44.880 him what you wanted and then get it. I would 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:46.320 have what I wondered more what it would have been 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.080 like to sit in my father's lap and tell him 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:55.960 what I wanted to get it fair enough, your father 0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.000 is supposed to be there every day Santa comes, but 0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:07.440 once a year. Yeah, the thing is As a child, 0:09:07.440 --> 0:09:11.280 I never I never believed in it because it never 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.320 made any sense to me. Well, on top of it, 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:16.160 this this is the other thing too, because you run 0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:21.920 into this when you're trying to tell the story of Santa. Uh. 0:09:21.960 --> 0:09:28.040 Two children, who are you know, inquisitive? Some would say precocious, 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:34.839 not stupid. Wow. I took gifted classes starting from ten 0:09:34.920 --> 0:09:38.400 years old. I was never a dumb child. I learned 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:40.960 how to read because my cousin could read. Because this 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.400 is this is the most fucked up part about this 0:09:43.480 --> 0:09:48.280 Santa thing. Plenty of children and go, hey, it doesn't 0:09:48.280 --> 0:09:51.000 make any sense that this man is on a slag 0:09:51.720 --> 0:09:57.160 being pulled by livestock, by fucking dear across the planet 0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.959 dropping off presents, right, didn't even have to do the same. 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:02.720 And a tracker on the fucking news. And you know, 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:05.439 I've always wondered what they do all the letters that 0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.920 people send out m because I'm sure they just burn 0:10:09.000 --> 0:10:11.200 them at the end of the they can't keep them. 0:10:11.240 --> 0:10:14.120 There's just too much space. Right was burning and they saying, 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.640 I hope they burned them. They had some shred them, 0:10:16.760 --> 0:10:20.280 turn them into more paper. Help somebody, right. So the 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.360 thing that was always the most deceptive of the De 0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.840 Santa ship is that you would have a child going 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:29.720 this doesn't make any sense. This can't be real, and 0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.319 then an adult goes, yes, it is, and the child's like, 0:10:33.480 --> 0:10:35.480 wait a minute, how did but how does he get 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.600 across the world? It's magic what I would listen. I 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:42.800 could believe in Bigfoot before I could believe in Santa Claus. 0:10:43.160 --> 0:10:50.200 Once again, more practice, alright, because as an adult, right now, 0:10:50.720 --> 0:10:54.080 you know that there are things that logically, as a 0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.120 smart person you look at and you're like, this doesn't 0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:58.240 make sense. But it is what it is, isn't it. 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.920 And now you're learning I live in a world where 0:11:02.240 --> 0:11:05.880 things don't make sense. They don't make sense. We both 0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:07.920 know they don't make sense. You and I have discussed 0:11:07.920 --> 0:11:11.960 things where we're like, yo, are we all the same page? 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:15.360 Doesn't make it and you're like, yes, but it is 0:11:15.400 --> 0:11:18.600 what it is. And then you're now learning to cope 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:21.480 in a world that doesn't make sense. That is unfair 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:26.000 and full of lies, right, But the other thing is 0:11:26.000 --> 0:11:29.400 is that you're giving us a thing. You're giving us 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:34.160 a lie that's not even attached to It's like as 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.800 a child could never figure out what Santa Claus had 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:38.920 to do with the birth of our Lord and Savior 0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:42.160 Jesus Christ. M h. It would have been more sense 0:11:42.240 --> 0:11:45.760 to me if the three kings that came and brought 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:51.240 presents to the baby Jesus came to children to give 0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:53.200 them presents. And I under I know the whole thing 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:56.240 is St. Nicholas. We've all seen that fucking what is 0:11:56.280 --> 0:12:01.040 it claymation stop motion. We've all said, right, yeah, So 0:12:01.280 --> 0:12:03.959 one dude, and I don't know where, was it the 0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:08.880 Netherlands or sucking one of them places, somewhere cold, somewhere 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.920 cold and white, gave children presents and then all of 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.679 a sudden we were like yeah, and then he did 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:18.560 it to the whole world, like no, that doesn't make 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:22.040 any sense. So for me, it's this myth came about 0:12:22.080 --> 0:12:24.320 because one, one white man did one thing and we 0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:30.560 can't forget like Columbus, and so instead of just him 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.120 being one of the many in the Pantheon of Saints. 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:38.240 M Now we're sitting on putting our children and growing 0:12:38.280 --> 0:12:41.480 men's laps and malls. Who came up with going to 0:12:41.720 --> 0:12:44.360 the mall? Santa? Who came up with the mall? Santa? 0:12:44.760 --> 0:12:47.880 Why do they have to sit in his lap? Who 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.120 is this pervert that came up with this? You knew 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:52.920 what I was gonna say. You knew what I I was 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:55.760 gonna do? You know I knew you were going to say. 0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.080 I this is what I will say. Okay, how about this? 0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:04.200 I stinned another olive branch. That is not so much 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:11.920 about the telling as it is about the employability. Okay, 0:13:12.040 --> 0:13:15.800 let's be honest. You see a dude who look exactly 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:19.640 like Santa spitting him into Santa? Right, I don't really 0:13:19.640 --> 0:13:21.640 have a job, doesn't really have a bunch of going 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.360 on in his life. Okay, why not at least let 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:31.520 him get some seasonal work. This man who was not 0:13:31.640 --> 0:13:37.400 able to sustain himself the other eleven months of the year, 0:13:39.280 --> 0:13:43.800 You in some Santa work in November? Yeah, eleven and 0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.440 a half month. You have to start with Yeah, Yeah, 0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:50.320 to start with Thanksgiving eleven and a half months. Yeah, 0:13:50.440 --> 0:13:56.000 Disney ain't got it. Okay, but but because he doesn't 0:13:56.080 --> 0:13:59.640 have it, let's give him something. Let's give him something 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:03.640 to do. You you out here, you're you're old, all right, 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.240 You got you got a bellowing voice that nobody can 0:14:07.280 --> 0:14:09.880 really tell where your diaphragm is. Your diaphragm is in 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:15.680 your foot. You got a big beer because no matter 0:14:15.679 --> 0:14:18.160 how much you cut your hair, it just spring. You 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:22.720 don't even get five o'clock shadow. Okay, you get six 0:14:22.760 --> 0:14:26.680 o'clock nightfall, all right, every day. And you got a 0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:29.560 rosy cheeks and a button nose and all other ship. Listen, 0:14:29.560 --> 0:14:32.600 I get it. Maybe you're an alcoholic. Maybe it's because 0:14:33.000 --> 0:14:36.600 they have, you know, they have a taste for the 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:39.600 four local, or taste for the malt liquor. Maybe they 0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:41.960 just have something that gets things a bit a bit 0:14:42.120 --> 0:14:47.080 rosy in the cheeks. You don't want is an elderly 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:53.000 white man local. No, No, it's a problem. Did you 0:14:53.040 --> 0:14:57.520 say you'd rather hee Drake crack Crown. Oh I thought 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:06.840 you said Drake crack Gota. It's like incredible. I mean, 0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.760 an old white man built like Santa Drink and Crack 0:15:11.720 --> 0:15:19.040 would be a holiday miracle. He'd be called people write dates, 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:22.560 he'd be like dash your dancer, get over here, get 0:15:22.600 --> 0:15:29.479 over real quick. Sir again, my name is Kevin. Yeah, 0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:39.000 so my name is Officer Will Gibbs. Okay, Rudolph, listen, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:43.040 it's Santa. You know it's you know this regular tropes. 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:46.240 You know Santa employs child labor. I get it. I 0:15:46.280 --> 0:15:48.400 don't have a problem with that, because I think what 0:15:48.600 --> 0:15:54.320 I don't understand is our elves always children. I was 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:57.080 under the impression that elves were never children. I was 0:15:57.160 --> 0:15:59.480 under the impression they were elves. No, you have to 0:15:59.520 --> 0:16:02.280 be a babe to be an elf, to be a creature. 0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:05.560 But what's a grown elf? A grown elf is still 0:16:05.560 --> 0:16:09.360 an elf? Baby elf still an elf? Then why those 0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:13.320 elves with him look forty? But sometimes they look like 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:17.240 kids sometimes, but a lot a lot of those elves 0:16:17.240 --> 0:16:19.560 will be looking key blur. When you see those North 0:16:19.640 --> 0:16:23.480 Pole pictures and stuff, well, one, that's not a real place. 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:32.400 Wait a second, wait a bitted second hour, a day, wait, 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:38.320 wait a moment. Tell me what we we have waited 0:16:39.000 --> 0:16:41.720 to what a third of the way is to start 0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:45.920 talking about what are at our real places? The North 0:16:45.960 --> 0:16:48.360 Pole is a real place, but then pictures are talking 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:50.680 about the North Pole pictures. Those are the mall in 0:16:50.760 --> 0:16:57.600 Santa Monica. No, no, I understand who do you who 0:16:57.640 --> 0:16:59.360 do you think you're talking to? Like this is this 0:16:59.400 --> 0:17:04.480 is this is crazy. I can't tell you see those 0:17:04.520 --> 0:17:08.720 Northball pictures and I'm like, what Northball pictures are something? 0:17:08.760 --> 0:17:12.280 Mall pictures. I'm talking about the cartoons of talking in Yes, 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:16.320 the Sinemnica mall pictures of materials. A lot of these 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.760 elves have beards, so in my mind they're not kids. 0:17:20.119 --> 0:17:24.359 What it depends on the casting because in some of 0:17:24.359 --> 0:17:28.359 them their children, and some of them they're adults, and 0:17:28.359 --> 0:17:31.680 then another ones are just old children. Was like as 0:17:31.680 --> 0:17:34.679 a child, but there are a thousand years old, like 0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:42.479 five years old? What is an old child? Do you 0:17:42.560 --> 0:17:46.520 mean an adult? Because that's what happens when kids get 0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:52.560 old enough. You know, I've never heard anybody be like, oh, yeah, 0:17:52.680 --> 0:18:00.399 my baby over there a hundred months. Like you ever 0:18:00.440 --> 0:18:03.600 seen the movie The Santa Claus with Tim Allen m hm, 0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:07.000 so you know when the movie, like we're getting in 0:18:07.080 --> 0:18:09.800 the movie, he starts and it's like he's like, there's 0:18:09.880 --> 0:18:11.679 kids in here. It's like, why are their kids in here? 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:13.720 Should they be in school? And he was like that 0:18:13.800 --> 0:18:18.280 kids four hundred years old. That's what I'm saying. They're elves. 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:21.880 They look like children some classification of my elves look 0:18:21.920 --> 0:18:25.199 like children forever. That's what I'm saying. So when I 0:18:25.240 --> 0:18:34.040 say old old child, when you say yeah, you somehow 0:18:34.200 --> 0:18:38.240 still don't mean grown. You mean an actual old child, 0:18:38.720 --> 0:18:44.919 just a dusty old Yes. Also, eight hundred months old 0:18:45.160 --> 0:18:49.639 is sixty six years old. M hmmmm, because we we 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:54.000 decided that after eighteen years, we might well just act 0:18:54.080 --> 0:18:56.959 like you're an adult, even if you aren't. Listen. I 0:18:57.000 --> 0:18:59.760 think eighteen I've been saying this when I was eighteen. 0:19:00.320 --> 0:19:06.040 Eighteen is not an adult really, No, I feel like 0:19:06.080 --> 0:19:11.440 it starts earlier than that. But but be an adult. Yeah, yeah, 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:14.920 there's a lot of people. There are a lot of people. 0:19:14.960 --> 0:19:17.479 I remember when I was like sixteen and I just 0:19:17.920 --> 0:19:20.720 in my with my peers, I was like, oh, some 0:19:20.840 --> 0:19:25.320 of y'all. Especially when somebody's like on on on the 0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:28.680 spectrum of good and evil. Right, when someone is very 0:19:28.800 --> 0:19:33.560 very good and they actually have so much emotional intelligence 0:19:33.600 --> 0:19:36.320 that they know what to do in every situation, things 0:19:36.320 --> 0:19:38.399 that almost can't be taught. They know what to do 0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.440 in lots of situations. They know how to nurture people, 0:19:40.440 --> 0:19:42.080 they know how to care for people all and stuff 0:19:42.080 --> 0:19:45.600 like that. I'm like you, I understand we're both sixteen 0:19:45.720 --> 0:19:48.240 right now, but you come off obviously, you come off 0:19:48.359 --> 0:19:55.480 way more exactly. And then when somebody's evil, I've met 0:19:55.520 --> 0:19:59.840 people who were actually too evil, nothing even and I'll 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:01.680 a lot on women say it just because I knew 0:20:01.720 --> 0:20:05.080 him well enough. Nothing in their life had happened bad 0:20:05.200 --> 0:20:07.960 enough to teach them how to be this evil, and 0:20:08.000 --> 0:20:13.680 they were already this evil, Like y'all, are you need 0:20:13.720 --> 0:20:17.560 to be tried as an adult, sir? Like like that? No, 0:20:17.680 --> 0:20:19.320 I was saying, we're trying to say to somebody that 0:20:19.480 --> 0:20:21.840 we were trying to like me and uh me and 0:20:21.880 --> 0:20:23.040 other guy. We're trying to talk to one of our 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:24.879 friends because then one of those, like another one of 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:27.960 those shootings, that mass shootings had happened, and we're like, 0:20:28.359 --> 0:20:34.600 some motherfucker's are just born evil. She's like, I think, 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:38.119 and I was like no, she was like, and I 0:20:38.160 --> 0:20:42.720 was like, we were like, nabitch, no, no, no. Some 0:20:42.920 --> 0:20:47.960 of fucker's come out the womb wanting pure chaos, death 0:20:47.960 --> 0:20:51.760 and destruction, and you don't know why. They don't know 0:20:51.840 --> 0:20:54.119 why I go back and forth, like, let's say we 0:20:54.200 --> 0:20:57.000 didn't know each other, right and I was on trial 0:20:57.760 --> 0:21:00.520 and you were and you were in the jury. You know, 0:21:00.560 --> 0:21:02.920 I don't know. I don't. I don't because here's the thing. 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:05.920 You'd either before me, and it'd be and you'd really 0:21:05.920 --> 0:21:08.880 have to be convinced that I did something, or you'd 0:21:08.880 --> 0:21:11.800 be a gets bed. It'd be like, look, I know 0:21:11.920 --> 0:21:14.520 you got all this evidence he didn't do it. But 0:21:14.560 --> 0:21:19.840 I saw his face. It's like it's like, oh my gosh, 0:21:20.040 --> 0:21:22.360 now you know me. You know me. You know I'd 0:21:22.359 --> 0:21:26.239 be reading Motherfucker's the House down boots of the kid's side. Uh, 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:30.119 I'm out here reading listen. I am getting myself, are 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:32.720 reading this together. I'm gonna get these pizza her coupons. 0:21:32.800 --> 0:21:38.600 I am reading for the children. I am the lie Brarie. 0:21:38.800 --> 0:21:41.560 And sometimes you just catch a vibe behind somebody and 0:21:41.600 --> 0:21:46.160 you're like, oh, let me stay the funk away from you. 0:21:46.920 --> 0:21:49.399 There's just certain people like that. We're just like, especially 0:21:49.440 --> 0:21:51.920 as like as a woman, there's just start like something. 0:21:51.920 --> 0:21:53.360 I got a guy coming with me. He's like, hey, 0:21:53.400 --> 0:21:55.639 can I just went Nope, And I walked up. My 0:21:55.640 --> 0:21:56.919 friend was like what happened. I was like, girl, I 0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:58.439 was gonna end up on the fucking news if I 0:21:58.440 --> 0:22:01.399 talked to that man, and look, I'm just saying, it 0:22:01.440 --> 0:22:13.199 would have found me in various appliances. I'm gonna broken 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:15.080 fucking barb. But then it just showed me back together. 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:18.280 I look like that damn bitch from what's it, uh 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:20.960 fucking nightmare before Christmas, and it stitched me back together, 0:22:21.000 --> 0:22:24.400 Like I fucking to our dog funk that I want 0:22:24.400 --> 0:22:26.399 to open gasket. I promised my mama, Dad, if I 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:30.879 go first, you're gonna see me bitch fuck that. I'm 0:22:31.160 --> 0:22:35.200 simply saying that based off what we've talked about some people, 0:22:36.200 --> 0:22:39.360 they I feel like they grow up at a different 0:22:39.800 --> 0:22:42.600 like level and layer and look just to bring it 0:22:42.640 --> 0:22:45.600 all back. I felt the same way about Santa. Right. 0:22:46.000 --> 0:22:50.480 I was told about Santa, and I stopped believing pretty young, right, 0:22:51.280 --> 0:22:54.200 but then I think I was. I think I was eight, 0:22:54.920 --> 0:22:57.960 So from like, that makes sense. Those kids are still 0:22:57.960 --> 0:23:04.120 believe in Santa at like twelve and thirty. We're always like, okay, yeah, 0:23:04.160 --> 0:23:07.679 but you see that's another lesson. That's another thing that 0:23:07.800 --> 0:23:13.360 helps helps you evaluate your peers, right, is that I 0:23:13.400 --> 0:23:16.120 think this person, we were all we were all sold 0:23:16.240 --> 0:23:18.479 the same bill of goods. Not obviously not at all, 0:23:18.520 --> 0:23:20.879 because there's different people who don't sell very Christmas anders. 0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.760 I'm just saying, out of the mix of people who 0:23:23.800 --> 0:23:27.280 were sold the same bill of goods, there's some people 0:23:27.320 --> 0:23:30.240 that fell for it, some people that didn't fall for it, 0:23:30.600 --> 0:23:32.480 some people that fell for it and then figured it 0:23:32.480 --> 0:23:35.600 out pretty quick, and then some people who are still 0:23:35.680 --> 0:23:39.959 just living a dream. Listen, And I think the thing 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:42.119 that always bugged me because I remember in school not 0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.959 believing in Santa and being taught because I never believed 0:23:44.960 --> 0:23:48.080 in them because to me just didn't make sense. And 0:23:48.080 --> 0:23:49.639 I think the other reason that my mother did not 0:23:49.680 --> 0:23:53.879 perpetuate this is because my mother worked hard. She raised 0:23:53.880 --> 0:23:57.640 me my brother by herself, and so because of that, 0:23:57.760 --> 0:23:59.920 I don't think she wanted us because like she would 0:24:00.040 --> 0:24:03.000 get us, there'd be like, you know, when the gifts 0:24:03.000 --> 0:24:05.240 would be from your sif I'm like your sibling, when 0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:07.199 the gifts would be from her, and one of the 0:24:07.200 --> 0:24:09.120 gifts would be from Santa, you know what I mean 0:24:09.400 --> 0:24:11.720 among the gifts that we got, and there's always this 0:24:11.840 --> 0:24:14.800 Santa gift. And by the time I was like, hey, 0:24:14.920 --> 0:24:16.840 I was like, you know, I don't believe in Santa, right, 0:24:17.600 --> 0:24:19.000 and my brother was like I don't either. She was 0:24:19.080 --> 0:24:22.000 like okay, but we still got the Santa gift. And 0:24:22.000 --> 0:24:24.040 the Santa gift was the gift that we didn't know 0:24:24.080 --> 0:24:27.119 what we were going to get, right, some stuff we 0:24:27.200 --> 0:24:28.920 picked out and then some stuff we get ladies and 0:24:29.000 --> 0:24:31.720
