Speaker 1: You're listening to Comedy Central.
Speaker 2: Hey, everybody, welcome to hold up the show. That's a
Speaker 2: lot about a little. It's we go back and forth
Speaker 2: quite a bit over things that we care about that
Speaker 2: maybe you've never even thought about like that, which is
Speaker 2: fine because these aren't big deals, these aren't life changing events,
Speaker 2: these aren't world altering global topics. It's just your co
Speaker 2: host Josh Johnson talking to your other co hosts.
Speaker 1: Don't say Sloan. And what we haven't talked about is
Speaker 1: my brand new nose ring. Bam bam, nose ring. I've
Speaker 1: wanted to those rings since I was fourteen years old
Speaker 1: and I could not get one because of acting and
Speaker 1: modeling and stuff. Now your girl has an established career.
Speaker 1: So if I want to put a piece of metal
Speaker 1: in my face again.
Speaker 2: Shot through the nostril. Oh man, it's all up to you.
Speaker 1: Bro. It hurts so bad. Apparents oh really, oh my god.
Speaker 1: And like I bled a lot because she was saying,
Speaker 1: like I was bleeding and she was like, were you
Speaker 1: drinking yesterday? And I was like yes. Apparently that's why
Speaker 1: you're not supposed to get like piercings are tattoos when
Speaker 1: you're that's why you can't get pierces the tatoos when
Speaker 1: you're drunk, because it makes you bleed more because your bloodstick.
Speaker 2: I am. I am indeed happy for you. I'm glad
Speaker 2: anytime a childhood dream can come true.
Speaker 1: You know, it hurts so much, and I got so overwhelmed.
Speaker 1: But while she was in the middle of do it,
Speaker 1: she was like, I'm proud of you. And for some reason,
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm going to tear up again. It's
Speaker 1: like it made me feel so much better because she
Speaker 1: was like, I'm proud of you. You did a good job.
Speaker 1: I love you. You're doing a good job. And I
Speaker 1: was like and all of that, because like you, it's
Speaker 1: it's so much pain at once and it's your face,
Speaker 1: so you just freak the fuck out for like a second.
Speaker 1: But she was like, you're doing a good job. I'm
Speaker 1: so proud of you. And so to be in that
Speaker 1: moment where I'm that much pain, but then for somebody
Speaker 1: to like be very comforting and sweet, it like really
Speaker 1: just kind of almost reset my brain a little bit.
Speaker 1: Her name is Genie. It's lived by the Sword tattoo.
Speaker 2: Oh well, yeah, shout out to her, and yeah, she's
Speaker 2: doing a great job and making you feel comfortable, making
Speaker 2: you feel seen and loved and held.
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, because she called herself the gentle piercer.
Speaker 1: And I was like, there's still a needle going through
Speaker 1: my nose, but now I get it, Like, oh, it
Speaker 1: was really nice. And then she found some studs for
Speaker 1: my second hole in my hair, because these shit's. You know,
Speaker 1: when you get something done in a flea market, you know,
Speaker 1: you get what you paid for it. You thought they
Speaker 1: would have healed up by the time I got out
Speaker 1: of the ninth grade, but hey, man.
Speaker 2: We're all out here doing our best. I think if
Speaker 2: you are about to get a flea market tattoo, though,
Speaker 2: any any person out here listening to the podcast thinking
Speaker 2: about getting a tattoo from your local flea market, you know,
Speaker 2: right after you go to the farmer's market, I would say,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe hold up on that. Take a second, yeah,
Speaker 2: take a second to think about it. Think about if
Speaker 2: the artwork you want done can be done by anybody
Speaker 2: else that's an actual tattoo shop.
Speaker 1: Now, not to say somebody who's in a flea market
Speaker 1: is not good.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's not about them being good. It's about
Speaker 2: them having the proper tool. You know what it's like.
Speaker 2: It's like when you're watching a mob movie, all right,
Speaker 2: and the person that the mob is after, or the
Speaker 2: other mob is after, i should say, or even the police.
Speaker 2: The person that's in the mob gets all shot up
Speaker 2: by somebody and then they take them to the mob
Speaker 2: doctor's house. And the mob doctor always has the same speech.
Speaker 2: It's like, why you come my home. It's like, well, sir,
Speaker 2: we know where you live and we were in a hurry.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we've been here six times this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're like, why did you come to my home?
Speaker 2: And I can't do it here. He needs real surgery.
Speaker 2: We got to go to a hospital. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: That mob doctor is still a doctor.
Speaker 1: He's a budgetarian, but he's still a doctor, you know.
Speaker 2: But he cannot with the tools he has available to him,
Speaker 2: do his job to the best of his ability.
Speaker 1: But if I have a booth in the flea market,
Speaker 1: because I've seen tattoo artists in a flea market before,
Speaker 1: they have all of the same tools that you'll see.
Speaker 2: Okay, I mean I've never got a tattooed before, so
Speaker 2: maybe it's all the same stuff.
Speaker 1: It's just a machine, my friend, the tattoo I have
Speaker 1: on my hand.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm. Wait, as someone who knows you, I know
Speaker 2: the tattoo you're talking about.
Speaker 1: But Josh john said, we wanted enough tangents today. I
Speaker 1: think it's time for us to talk about the topic
Speaker 1: at hand. The topic in hand is Santa Clauz, Santa
Speaker 1: Claus old Saint Nick, Chris motherfucking Kringle himself.
Speaker 2: M hm.
Speaker 1: And I know the audience is wunningly Wait a minute.
Speaker 1: If they're talking about that, they're Santa Clause. Can't be
Speaker 1: talking about whether he's real or not because we already
Speaker 1: going to ask the course, the question is should we
Speaker 1: be telling the children about this man or not?
Speaker 2: Okay, that is the question.
Speaker 1: So Josh Johnson, tell the people what side do you
Speaker 1: fall on when it comes to the existence of Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: Should we be telling the children or not? Because you
Speaker 1: was ready to go. You was trained to go.
Speaker 2: As someone who believes in whimsy, as someone who loves wonder.
Speaker 1: You try to act like I don't love whimsy and
Speaker 1: wonder wow the attacks.
Speaker 2: As someone who believes in magic.
Speaker 1: We're both friends with Matt Richards, so yes, we were
Speaker 1: believing in magic, Matt Richards.
Speaker 2: Who who believes that a childhood has some magic in its.
Speaker 1: Whole fucking childhood?
Speaker 2: Josh, the whole childhood. You know, I think that Santa
Speaker 2: is a good starter lesson. I think it's a I
Speaker 2: think it's worthwhile endeavor.
Speaker 1: Lesson in what adults will lie to you?
Speaker 2: Yes, that that too.
Speaker 1: What's your lesson? Because my lesson is adults will lot
Speaker 1: of you?
Speaker 2: I mean adults a lot of you is a great one.
Speaker 2: That's no one is disputing that. Like, let's get that
Speaker 2: one out the way, all right. You looked into the
Speaker 2: eyes of a child and you lied your face face
Speaker 2: lie a So now when this child, instead of being two,
Speaker 2: is twenty two and there's another girl person in their face,
Speaker 2: try to lie. They'll be like, I remember this, I've
Speaker 2: been living through this for two decades. All right, I'm ready,
Speaker 2: I'm prepped. Okay, in your world with no practice, they'd
Speaker 2: be like, oh yeah, sure, you must own this house
Speaker 2: as a poetry major, you know what I mean. So
Speaker 2: then that's my thing is that, you know, it helps
Speaker 2: it helps instill a sense of how the world works.
Speaker 2: I think it introduces fantasy in a way that is
Speaker 2: both fun and has stakes, you know, and has a
Speaker 2: payoff at the end.
Speaker 1: Okay, once again incorrect. I remember telling some evil woman
Speaker 1: that I used to work with, not evil, hateful, hateful
Speaker 1: little woman that I used to work with, that when
Speaker 1: I was growing up, because it was like around Christmas
Speaker 1: time or whatever. And I said, when I was growing up,
Speaker 1: you know, my mom never told us to say it
Speaker 1: was real. She didn't tell us he wasn't real, but
Speaker 1: she never said that he was and he was. She
Speaker 1: was like, oh you She tried to tell me that
Speaker 1: I had a bad childhood because my mother didn't tell
Speaker 1: me that some fictional white man was breaking into our
Speaker 1: house to bring me presents. And I was like, you
Speaker 1: think my entire childhood was bad for this one. Let
Speaker 1: me let me get up because I almost said something
Speaker 1: that was gonna get me in a fight that day.
Speaker 1: There's so many other things that happened, Like I didn't
Speaker 1: grow up with a father. You think that affected Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: You think Santa Claus is a participitately, that's what you
Speaker 1: think took my childhood out? Was one nigga once a
Speaker 1: year claiming to do something that he didn't fucking do.
Speaker 2: But look, did you ever did you ever wonder what
Speaker 2: it would have been like to sit in Santa's lap
Speaker 2: and tell him what you wanted and then get it?
Speaker 1: I would have. I wondered more what it would have
Speaker 1: been like to sit in my father's lap and tell
Speaker 1: him what I wanted to get it? Fair Enough, my
Speaker 1: father's supposed to be there every day Santa comes, but
Speaker 1: once a year.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the thing is As a child, I never I
Speaker 1: never believed in it because it never made any sense
Speaker 1: to me.
Speaker 2: Well, on top of it, this is the other thing too,
Speaker 2: because you run into this when you're trying to tell
Speaker 2: the story of Santa to children, who are you know,
Speaker 2: inquisitive some would say precocious.
Speaker 1: Not stupid.
Speaker 2: Wow.
Speaker 1: I took gifted classes starting from ten years old. I
Speaker 1: was never a dumb child. I learned how to read
Speaker 1: because my cousin could read. Because this is the most
Speaker 1: fucked up part about this Santa thing, plenty of children
Speaker 1: to go, Hey, it doesn't make any sense that this
Speaker 1: man is on a sleigh being pulled by livestock by
Speaker 1: fucking deer across the planet, dropping off presents, right, even
Speaker 1: though they do the Santa tracker on the fucking news,
Speaker 1: and you know, I've always wondered if they do all
Speaker 1: the letters that people send out, because I'm sure they
Speaker 1: just burn them at the end of the day. They
Speaker 1: can't keep them. There's just too much space, right, so
Speaker 1: burning of these sands. I hope they burn them. They
Speaker 1: do something, shred them, turn them into more paper. Help somebody, right.
Speaker 1: So the thing that was always the most deceptives of
Speaker 1: the Santa shit is that you would have a child
Speaker 1: going this doesn't make any sense. This can't be real,
Speaker 1: and then an adult goes, yes, it is, and the
Speaker 1: child's like, but wait a minute, how does he get
Speaker 1: across the world. It's magic? What I would listen. I
Speaker 1: could believe in Bigfoot before I could believe in Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: Once again, more practice, all right, practice what because as
Speaker 2: an adult right now, you know that there are things
Speaker 2: that logically, as a smart person you look at and
Speaker 2: you're like, this doesn't make sense. But it is what
Speaker 2: it is, isn't it? And now you're learning to live
Speaker 2: in a world where things don't make sense. They don't
Speaker 2: make sense. We both know they don't make sense. You
Speaker 2: and I have discussed things where we're like, yo, are
Speaker 2: we all the same page? Does that make it and
Speaker 2: you're like, yes, but it is what it is. And
Speaker 2: then you're now learning to cope in a world that
Speaker 2: doesn't make sense, that is unfair and full of lies.
Speaker 1: Right. But the other thing is is that you're giving
Speaker 1: us a thing. You're giving us a lie that's not
Speaker 1: even attached to It's like, as a child that could
Speaker 1: never figure out what Santa Claus had to do with
Speaker 1: the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, it
Speaker 1: would have been more sense to me if the three
Speaker 1: kings that came and brought presents to the baby Jesus
Speaker 1: came to children to give them presents. And I know
Speaker 1: the whole thing is Saint Nicholas. We've all seen that
Speaker 1: fucking what is it claymation, stop motion, we've all seen, right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: so one dude, and I don't know where, was it
Speaker 1: the Netherlands or fucking one of them places.
Speaker 2: Yeah, some were cold, some were cold.
Speaker 1: And white gave children presents and then all of a
Speaker 1: sudden we were like, yeah, and then he did it
Speaker 1: to the whole world my way, No, this doesn't make
Speaker 1: any sense. So for me, it's this myth came about
Speaker 1: because one one white man did one thing and we
Speaker 1: can't forget like Columbus, and so instead of just him
Speaker 1: being one of the many and the pantheon of saints,
Speaker 1: m now we sitting on we putting our children and
Speaker 1: grown men's laps and malls. Who came up with going
Speaker 1: to the mall Santam? Who came up at the mall Santa?
Speaker 1: Why do they have to sit in his lamp? Who
Speaker 1: is this pervert? They came up with this? You knew
Speaker 1: I was gonna say. You knew I was gonna do.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I knew you were gonna say. I this is
Speaker 2: what I will say. Okay, how about this, I'll extend
Speaker 2: another olive branch. That is not so much about the
Speaker 2: telling as it is about the employability. Okay, let's be honest.
Speaker 2: You see a dude who look exactly like Santa, spitting
Speaker 2: image of Sannah, right right, I don't really have a job,
Speaker 2: doesn't really have much of going on in his life. Okay,
Speaker 2: why not at least let him get some seasonal work.
Speaker 1: This man who is not able to sustain himself the
Speaker 1: other eleven months of the year, you.
Speaker 2: Would need some Santa work in November.
Speaker 1: Yeah, eleven and a half month.
Speaker 2: You have to start with thinking, Yeah, yeah, to start
Speaker 2: with Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: Eleven and a half months. Yeah, Disney ain't got it.
Speaker 2: Okay, But but because he doesn't have it, let's give
Speaker 2: him something. Let's give him something to do. You out here,
Speaker 2: you're you're old, all right. You got you got a
Speaker 2: bellowing voice that nobody can really tell where your diaphragm is.
Speaker 2: Your diaphragm is in your foot. You got a big
Speaker 2: beard because no matter how much you cut your hair,
Speaker 2: it just spring. You don't even get five o'clock shadow, Okay,
Speaker 2: you get six o'clock nightfall, all right, every day.
Speaker 1: And you got a rosy cheeks and a button No,
Speaker 1: not other shit. Listen, I get it.
Speaker 2: Maybe you're an alcoholic. Maybe it's because they have, you know,
Speaker 2: they have a taste for the four loco or taste
Speaker 2: for the balt liquor. Maybe they just have something that
Speaker 2: gets things a bit a bit rosy in the cheeks.
Speaker 1: What you don't want is an elderly white man addicted
Speaker 1: to four logo.
Speaker 2: No, no, it's a problem. Did you say you'd rather
Speaker 2: he Drake Crack Brown? Oh? I thought you said Drake
Speaker 2: Crack And I was like incredible. I mean, an old
Speaker 2: white man built like Santa, Drake and Crack would be
Speaker 2: a holiday miracle. He'd be calling people right there. He'd
Speaker 2: be like, Dash and Dancer, get over here, get over
Speaker 2: here real quick.
Speaker 1: Sir again, my name is Kevin.
Speaker 2: Yeah, sir, my name is Officer Willims.
Speaker 1: Okay, Rudolph, listen, it's Santa. You know, it's you know,
Speaker 1: this is regular tropes. You know, Santa employees, child labor.
Speaker 1: I get it. I don't have a problem with that
Speaker 1: because I think what what I don't understand is are
Speaker 1: elves always children?
Speaker 2: I was under the impression that el's who were never children.
Speaker 2: I was under the impression they were elves. No, you
Speaker 2: have to be a baby to be an elf, to
Speaker 2: be a creature. But what's a grown elf? A grown
Speaker 2: elf is still an elf?
Speaker 1: Yeah, baby elf is still an elf.
Speaker 2: Then why those elves with him look forty?
Speaker 1: But sometimes they look like kids.
Speaker 2: Sometimes, But a lot a lot of those el's be
Speaker 2: looking keebler. When you see those North Pole pictures and stuff.
Speaker 1: Well, one that's not a real place.
Speaker 2: Wait a second, Wait, wait a bit, second, hour, a
Speaker 2: day picture, wait, wait a moment.
Speaker 1: Tell me about the North Pole pictures.
Speaker 2: We have waited to what a third of the way
Speaker 2: in to start talking about what are at our real places.
Speaker 1: The North Pole is a real place. But them pictures
Speaker 1: are talking about the North Pole pictures. Those are the
Speaker 1: mall in Santa Monica.
Speaker 2: No, no, I understand, I who do you think you're
Speaker 2: talking to?
Speaker 1: Like this?
Speaker 2: This is crazy?
Speaker 1: I can't tell you see those North Paul pictures And
Speaker 1: I'm like, what North Paul Pictures? All pictures?
Speaker 2: I'm talking about the cartoons of talking in Yes, the
Speaker 2: Santa Monica mal pictures.
Speaker 1: A lot of the materials.
Speaker 2: A lot of these elves have beards, so in my
Speaker 2: mind they're not kids.
Speaker 1: Well it depends on the casting because in some of
Speaker 1: them they're children and some of them they're adults, and
Speaker 1: then another ones they're just old children. It was like
Speaker 1: as a child, but they're a thousand years old, like
Speaker 1: five hundred years old?
Speaker 2: What is an old child? Do you mean an adult now?
Speaker 2: Because that's what happens when kids get older. Though, No,
Speaker 2: you know, I've never heard anybody be like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: my baby over there eight hundred months.
Speaker 1: No, Like you ever seen the movie The Santa Claus
Speaker 1: with Tim Allen m hm, so you know when the
Speaker 1: movie like we're gonna get the movie. He starts and
Speaker 1: it's like he's like, there's kids in here. It's like,
Speaker 1: why are there kids in here? Shouldn't they be in school?
Speaker 1: And he was like, that kid's four hundred years old.
Speaker 1: You see, That's what I'm saying. I because they're elves.
Speaker 1: They look like children, some classification of elves look like
Speaker 1: children forever. That's what I'm saying. So when I say.
Speaker 2: Old old child, when you say what I mean, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: you somehow still don't mean grown. You mean an actual
Speaker 2: old child, just a dusty old third parce.
Speaker 1: Yes, also, eight hundred months old is sixty six years old.
Speaker 2: Mm hmmm mm hmm. Because we decided that after eighteen years,
Speaker 2: we might as well just act like you're an adult,
Speaker 2: even if you are.
Speaker 1: Listen, I think eighteen I've been saying this when I
Speaker 1: was eighteen. Eighteen is not an.
Speaker 2: Adult really, No, I feel like it starts earlier than that.
Speaker 2: But to be an adult, yeah, yeah, fuck that. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of people. There are a lot of people.
Speaker 2: I remember when I was like sixteen, and I just
Speaker 2: with my peers, I was like, oh, some of y'all,
Speaker 2: especially when somebody's like on on the spectrum of good
Speaker 2: and evil. Right, when someone is very very good and
Speaker 2: they actually have so much emotional intelligence that they know
Speaker 2: what to do in every situation, things that almost can't
Speaker 2: be taught. They know what to do in lots of situations.
Speaker 2: They know how to nurture people, they know how to
Speaker 2: care for people, all that stuff like that. I'm like you,
Speaker 2: I understand we're both sixteen right now, but you come
Speaker 2: off obviously, you come off way more of you're sixty, sure, exactly.
Speaker 2: And then when somebody's evil, I've met people people who
Speaker 2: were actually too evil nothing even and I'll go out
Speaker 2: on lemon say it just because I knew them well enough,
Speaker 2: nothing in their life had happened bad enough to teach
Speaker 2: them how to be this evil, and they were already
Speaker 2: this evil. I'm like, y'all, are you need to be
Speaker 2: tried as an adult, sir? Like that?
Speaker 1: No, I was saying, we're trying to say to somebody that,
Speaker 1: like we were trying to like me and uh, me
Speaker 1: and the guy were trying to talk to one of
Speaker 1: my friends because one of those like another one of
Speaker 1: those shootings, that mass shootings had happened, and were like,
Speaker 1: some motherfuckers are just.
Speaker 2: Born evil and she's like, no, I think that.
Speaker 1: And I was like Noah. She was like and I
Speaker 1: was like, we were like, nah, bitch, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: Some mother fuckers come out the womb warning pure chaos,
Speaker 1: death and destruction, and you don't know why. They don't
Speaker 1: know why.
Speaker 2: I go back and forth, like, let's say we didn't
Speaker 2: know each other, right, and I was on trial and
Speaker 2: you were and you were the jury. You know, I
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't. I don't because here's the thing.
Speaker 2: You'd either before me, and it'd be and you'd really
Speaker 2: have to be convinced that I did something, or you'd
Speaker 2: be against me, and it'd be like, m look, I
Speaker 2: know you got all this evidence he didn't do it.
Speaker 2: But I saw his face. It's like it's like, oh my.
Speaker 1: Gosh, now you know me. You know me. You know
Speaker 1: I'd be reading Motherfuckers the house down boots as the
Speaker 1: kids say, uh huh, I'm out here reading. Listen. I
Speaker 1: am getting my summer reading together. I'm finna get these
Speaker 1: pizza hook coupons. I am reading for the children. I
Speaker 1: am the lie Prairie. And sometimes you just catch a
Speaker 1: vibe behind somebody and you're like, oh, let me stay
Speaker 1: the fuck away from you. There's just certain people like that,
Speaker 1: we're just like, especially as like as a woman, there's
Speaker 1: just certain like some I've had a guy coming with me,
Speaker 1: He's like, hey, can I just wait? Nope, And I
Speaker 1: walked up. My was like what happened? I was like, girl,
Speaker 1: I was gonna end up on the fucking news if
Speaker 1: I talk to that man.
Speaker 2: And look, I'm just saying it would.
Speaker 1: Have found me in various appliances. I'm in a broken
Speaker 1: fucking barbie. Then it just showed me back together. I
Speaker 1: looked like that damn bitch from what's it? Uh fucking
Speaker 1: nightmare before Christmas? At it to stitch me back together
Speaker 1: like a fucking to our dog. Uh uh fuck that.
Speaker 1: I want to open gasket. I promise my mama that
Speaker 1: if I go first, you gonna see me bitch. Fuck that.
Speaker 2: I'm simply saying that based off what we've talked about,
Speaker 2: some people, they I feel like they grow up at
Speaker 2: a different like level and layer and look just to
Speaker 2: bring it all back. I felt the same way about Santa, right.
Speaker 2: I was told about Santa, and I stopped believing pretty young, right,
Speaker 2: But then I think that was I think it was eight,
Speaker 2: so from like.
Speaker 1: That makes sense. Those kids that still believe in Santa
Speaker 1: at like twelve and thirteen, we're always like, oh.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, but you see, that's another lesson. That's another
Speaker 2: thing that helps helps you evaluate your peers, right, is
Speaker 2: that I think this person, we were all sold the
Speaker 2: same bill of goods. Not obviously not at all, because
Speaker 2: there's different people who don't cellbreate Christmas in it. I'm
Speaker 2: just saying out of the mix of people who were
Speaker 2: sold the same bill of goods, there's some people that
Speaker 2: fell for it, some people that didn't fall for it,
Speaker 2: some people that fell for it and then figured it
Speaker 2: out pretty quick, and then some people who are still
Speaker 2: just living a dream.
Speaker 1: Listen. And I think the thing that I always bugged
Speaker 1: me because I remember in school not believing in Santa
Speaker 1: and being told because I never believed in them because
Speaker 1: to me just didn't make sense. And I think the
Speaker 1: other reason that my mother did not perpetuate this is
Speaker 1: because my mother worked hard. She raised me and my
Speaker 1: brother by herself. So because of that, I don't think
Speaker 1: she wanted us to because she's like she would get us.
Speaker 1: There'd be like, you know, one of the gifts would
Speaker 1: be from your sip. I'm like your sibling. One of
Speaker 1: the gifts would be from her, and one of the
Speaker 1: gifts would be from Santa, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Among the gifts that we got, and there was always
Speaker 1: this Santa gift. And by the time I was like eight,
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, I don't believe in Santa, right,
Speaker 1: and my brother was like I don't either. She was
Speaker 1: like okay, but we still got this Santa gift. And
Speaker 1: the Santa gift was the gift that we didn't know
Speaker 1: what we were going to get, right, and some stuff
Speaker 1: we picked out and then some stuff we'd get. It
Speaker 1: is a surprise gift. So it was like this concept,
Speaker 1: but none of us believed it. I just could never
Speaker 1: get like, okay, we would take with this Chris Kringle
Speaker 1: thing whatever Christmas is, like, this is the birth of Christ.
Speaker 1: This is what we're doing right, because I don't like
Speaker 1: I remember like asking a girl I was friends with
Speaker 1: in college, like you know, she was like because she
Speaker 1: had we were cool, but she had a slip mouth sometimes.
Speaker 1: One day I asked her, I was like, why are
Speaker 1: do you because she's a stanch atheist right to the
Speaker 1: point when she was rude like most atheists are. It's
Speaker 1: always like, it's always good to meet an atheist who
Speaker 1: doesn't tell you they're an atheist, because usually when you
Speaker 1: meet an atheist that I'm like, this their whole personality.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it depends on the person, because I feel like
Speaker 2: there are people who atheism is kind of that that
Speaker 2: uh strain of cross fit or veganism or something where
Speaker 2: it's like if you get into it enough, especially if
Speaker 2: you get into it after growing up religious, I think
Speaker 2: that it becomes a big it becomes a big marker
Speaker 2: for you of journey changed.
Speaker 1: Right, because it's like you're being defiant, right. But I
Speaker 1: asked her a day. I was like, wait, if you're
Speaker 1: an atheist, why are you celebrating Christmas?
Speaker 2: M hm?
Speaker 1: And she said what do you mean? I said, Christmas?
Speaker 2: I mean it's most of the name.
Speaker 1: It's most I've got. I was like, Christ, it's seventy
Speaker 1: percent of the name. It's Christ.
Speaker 2: It's Christ moss right, getting extra.
Speaker 1: Extra, this is the beginning of the Christ, the Christ
Speaker 1: child is born. And she was like, well, you know,
Speaker 1: Christmas is a religious holiday. And I was like, bitch,
Speaker 1: what do you mean. I said, of course it is,
Speaker 1: because that's why people who aren't Christian. That's why Jews
Speaker 1: don't celebrate it. That's why Muslims don't celebrate it, and Buddhist,
Speaker 1: all of these other religious Hindus, all of these other
Speaker 1: people of other religious don't celebrate Christmas because they're not Christian.
Speaker 1: And she's like, well, it's an American holiday. And I said,
Speaker 1: it's literally a religious holiday.
Speaker 2: That's so funny. It's an American holiday. Is probably the
Speaker 2: most American thing a person could say, dude, because it's like,
Speaker 2: you know, when you go to you know, Ecuador at
Speaker 2: Christmas time, they're gonna have Christmas.
Speaker 1: Christmas when you are the Philippines, when you go to Mexico, Mexico, Kenya, China, A, Afghanistan,
Speaker 1: anywhere that has Christmas time is always Christmas time. I
Speaker 1: did find out one of my old boss her husband
Speaker 1: was Romanian Orthodox and they celebrate Christmas on a different day.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, some people do this thing of like it's
Speaker 2: the general time. But yeah, I've heard of some people.
Speaker 2: Some people even have their like like people who do
Speaker 2: go to church ford and stuff have their church service
Speaker 2: on the day. Some of them have it the day before,
Speaker 2: some of them only really have it the Sunday leading up.
Speaker 1: To right, So you're talking about Christmas being non really
Speaker 1: She was like yeah, And I was like, so you're
Speaker 1: celebrating presents and gift giving? What are you She was
Speaker 1: so angry at me. It probably it didn't help that
Speaker 1: we were at her house making Christmas cookies and I
Speaker 1: was like, so, why are you celebrating this holiday? This
Speaker 1: is crazy? What are we even doing? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you're literally stirring things up, you know, with your words.
Speaker 1: So you know kinte clause one. My brother has a
Speaker 1: picture with black statter for when he's a kid, and like,
Speaker 1: just like different cultures will have like they're Jesus like
Speaker 1: kind of like tuned up to what they look like
Speaker 1: kitty clause because I follow the real Black Santa on Instagram. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but also I was like, well, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: Korean churches, right, because Koreans, you know, you know, Koreans
Speaker 1: fuck with Jesus. A lot of them do. When Santa
Speaker 1: comes to the Korean church, is it a white man
Speaker 1: or is he Korean?
Speaker 2: Look? I think that that does depend on the culture.
Speaker 2: You reminded me of, Lord, what.
Speaker 1: Did I remind you of?
Speaker 2: One time? My friend? Okay, this is who knows if
Speaker 2: anyone will find this fudy. So you know how sometimes
Speaker 2: when you're growing when you're growing up, different kids just
Speaker 2: have different like home situations, their parents have different levels
Speaker 2: of income, right, yes, And I remember one time I
Speaker 2: was I don't know if it was an after school
Speaker 2: thing or if it was soccer, it was some it
Speaker 2: was some extracurricular thing, because me and this kid did
Speaker 2: not go to school together, right, And I asked him,
Speaker 2: you know what Santa got him for Christmas? Because we're
Speaker 2: all little, We're like seven or something, right, And I'll
Speaker 2: never forget this because even at the time, I was
Speaker 2: like even without understanding jokes yet, because you know, you
Speaker 2: laugh when you're a kid and stuff that, but I
Speaker 2: didn't understand jokes like I wasn't a joke writer when
Speaker 2: I was seven, you know, and so but I still
Speaker 2: understood like puns and wordplay. And you know, this kid
Speaker 2: and he's still probably to this day, doesn't know how
Speaker 2: funny what he said was. But but I asked him
Speaker 2: what he got for Christmas? Like what if? And this
Speaker 2: kid said, all said, all I got from Santa this
Speaker 2: year was a cold right, because he went to the
Speaker 2: mall and Sada was clearly sick that day, right, So
Speaker 2: then sat over here, like what do you want from Chris?
Speaker 2: And so this kid said he literally was like laid
Speaker 2: it back from Santa a little bit because he's in
Speaker 2: his lap, but he's like Sada over here, like sniffling,
Speaker 2: like using his beard to wipe his nose and stuff.
Speaker 2: And it was like he was like, I think I
Speaker 2: got a cold, and I think I got it from
Speaker 2: Santa because like, nobody in my family is sick.
Speaker 1: But so I guess he didn't even get any presents.
Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying. Yes, that's why I thought maybe
Speaker 2: some listeners might not find the entire story funny, but
Speaker 2: I feel like it's important and it's an important lesson.
Speaker 2: So we were talking about lessons, which is one of
Speaker 2: the reasons that I have the stance that I have.
Speaker 1: But you keep saying that, like Sant, but the least
Speaker 1: lessons don't seem like fun lessons.
Speaker 2: Like it's not a lessons supposed to be fun.
Speaker 1: I hear you, but it's like it seems to be like, oh,
Speaker 1: you ask Santa for this new toy truck and you
Speaker 1: got socks. Right, you don't know that your family can't
Speaker 1: afford this new toy truck. You just know you got
Speaker 1: socks or you ask for you know, something outrageous. It's like, Okay,
Speaker 1: you have no athletic skills in any fucking form or fashion,
Speaker 1: and you wanted this expensive baseball love and your parents
Speaker 1: got you a truck.
Speaker 2: Mm hmm, they didn't.
Speaker 1: It's not that Sandy didn't hear you, is that they
Speaker 1: know you have no athletic skills and the money they
Speaker 1: would have spent on this baseball glove because you want
Speaker 1: to be a baseball player and you have fucking four
Speaker 1: left feet. Stuff could get blamed on Santa. But then
Speaker 1: when you but think about it, like then you becoming it,
Speaker 1: like you get a little older and you learn Santa's
Speaker 1: not real, and it's like, okay, well then why didn't
Speaker 1: I get my baseball glove? Didn't?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Poverty, yeah, or just like or just general like nah,
Speaker 2: we weren't gonna not.
Speaker 1: Doing We're not doing that over here. So it's like,
Speaker 1: I guess I've never understood the point of the magic
Speaker 1: of Christmas is diverging birth. So I don't know if
Speaker 1: we added in more magic because it's around the solstice
Speaker 1: time and you know, trying to convert Pagans into Christianity.
Speaker 1: So you put it at that time, which is why
Speaker 1: they say Easter is the time that it is, and
Speaker 1: that's why the Easter bunny and the eggs I'll go
Speaker 1: along with Eastern. That's always been confusing for me. Also,
Speaker 1: did you know I know? I didn't know, So I
Speaker 1: was a full I'm talking about, graduated from college, found
Speaker 1: this out.
Speaker 2: Okay, did you know that the.
Speaker 1: Easter bunny is supposed to bring you in an Eastern
Speaker 1: basket like Santa brings you presents?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, no really, Now why did you think they
Speaker 2: were selling Easter baskets?
Speaker 1: I just thought it was a thing because there was
Speaker 1: a bunny and eggs and eggs go in the basket.
Speaker 1: Because my mother called the Easter was Resurrection Day.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, absolutely, So it was like my.
Speaker 1: Aunt my godmother would give us Easter baskets. But I
Speaker 1: because my mother never really told us that Santa Claus
Speaker 1: and she definitely wasn't on bo. She's like, I'm not
Speaker 1: telling you. I was like, I asked her as an adult.
Speaker 1: I was like, why didn't She's like, I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think that I didn't you, So wait, did you
Speaker 1: get an Easter basket?
Speaker 2: I did get an Easter basket. Some years there was
Speaker 2: one year where I'm like, I don't know if there's
Speaker 2: there's a year where it started to gap a little bit.
Speaker 1: I can tell you Easter baskets for once you get
Speaker 1: past the age of life, like nine, Easter baskets suck.
Speaker 2: They're not good.
Speaker 1: No, once you're an older, Like when you're a little kid,
Speaker 1: it's like here's little little toy like little things, and
Speaker 1: then once you get older, it's like you put a
Speaker 1: fucking football in a basket I didn't want.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, what half of these things? Huh? Or I
Speaker 2: only want half of these things.
Speaker 1: Also, I think it's weird that like in America we
Speaker 1: say Merry Christmas, but in the UK, in the UK,
Speaker 1: they say Happy Christmas. And I'm like, you motherfucker, seem
Speaker 1: like the one who'll be using the word mary.
Speaker 2: Yeah. No, that is switched, I think pretty heavily. Like
Speaker 2: that's like, that's that seems like we should be saying happy.
Speaker 2: They should be saying mary Mary. Now, okay, this this
Speaker 2: is where because you were mentioning the lessons, you were mentioning.
Speaker 1: Lessons, but also it's I don't understand. I guess I've
Speaker 1: never understood the point, like, for instance, like I don't
Speaker 1: understand the point of the Easter Bunny either, because Christians
Speaker 1: only got you holidays.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the Easter Bunny is to me like almost indefensible.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make any sense to me.
Speaker 1: N I'm like, where does they come from? Who sent him?
Speaker 1: At least Saint Nicholas I think was an actual saint, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and and it's a bigger thing overall in
Speaker 2: the world. So Santa Claus. There are some countries that
Speaker 2: have Babushka, there are some countries that have like there's
Speaker 2: there's so many different versions of this same thing.
Speaker 1: Isn't it the Dutch dude that has a slave.
Speaker 2: I know about like Black Pete, but I don't know
Speaker 2: if that's Santa to them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So children are taught to believe they received their
Speaker 1: presence from Saint Nicholas, who was accompanied by a black
Speaker 1: servant called Black Peter. Adults will dress up as Saint
Speaker 1: Nicholas and Black Peter, a white person painted in black face,
Speaker 1: and visit children and adults. So, yeah, Black Peter is
Speaker 1: a servant he's a slave, and they are trying to
Speaker 1: step and stop them from dressing in black face, and
Speaker 1: they're like, but it's a tradition and there's only seventeen
Speaker 1: black people here, sir, are you gonna stop? The Dutch
Speaker 1: is the Netherlands, so I don't know how many of
Speaker 1: us live there. I don't do cold white countries. So
Speaker 1: like in the UK is a Happy Christmas instead of
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas. But then they call Santa Claus Father Christmas,
Speaker 1: which makes more sense than Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: Here's my thing with Santa versus Father Christmas. Okay. I
Speaker 2: feel like Father Christmas gets a little too close to
Speaker 2: like confusing the children, you know, okay, because it's like
Speaker 2: Father Christmas feels too much like Jesus's dad, whereas Santa
Speaker 2: Claus feels like a totally different character.
Speaker 1: Okay.
Speaker 2: You know, like I used to hear people say Father Christmas.
Speaker 2: Sounds like I don't know if I'm with that one.
Speaker 1: You know that makes sense? I mean I still always
Speaker 1: it just made always made more sense to me because
Speaker 1: it's like, oh, we get presents on Christmas because the
Speaker 1: baby Jesus got presents. Well, if they get presents on Christmas,
Speaker 1: because the baby Jesus got presents, then why is it
Speaker 1: the why have for three wise men's the one bringing
Speaker 1: us the presence?
Speaker 2: No that so when you said that at the beginning
Speaker 2: of the episode, that may a lot of sense to me.
Speaker 2: And I'm surprised no one has done that as a
Speaker 2: I'm surprised that thing never caught on if there's such
Speaker 2: a shared understanding of the story of Christmas, I think
Speaker 2: that for me, when it comes to telling kids about Christmas,
Speaker 2: the second side, the unfair and the sad side of
Speaker 2: the lesson and everything is the disappointment, you know, because.
Speaker 1: It like they're like, you know, Santa sees you when
Speaker 1: you're sleeping, he knows when you're away, So Santa's a
Speaker 1: fucking stalker, which is a joke that's been made a
Speaker 1: million times. I get it. It's like it's like that
Speaker 1: whole Elf on the Shelf thing where it's like, hey,
Speaker 1: this tiny ELL's gonna watch everything you do and if
Speaker 1: you mess up, he's gonna. Like I've heard people go,
Speaker 1: if you act bad, you're gonna tell Santa. And it's like, then,
Speaker 1: what did you do the other eleven months of the
Speaker 1: fucking year when your child was acting like a maniac.
Speaker 1: M have you using Santa? You're in just you know,
Speaker 1: a strong march, just flying through April, going Santa, Santa.
Speaker 1: Santa's like this child is four, he doesn't remember yesterday,
Speaker 1: Like why are you telling him about? Like there anyway
Speaker 1: with Santa. But it's like I remember, like the first time,
Speaker 1: like learning about the story of Christmas, right, the virgin birth.
Speaker 1: They're going, there's no room at the end. You're boring
Speaker 1: in a manger, weazy f baby, right. So I remember
Speaker 1: the whole time hearing this whole story in the three
Speaker 1: and Frank instance mer Gold, you know, the stars and
Speaker 1: all this other stuff. I remember going, but where is Santa?
Speaker 1: And my mother was like what I said, where's Santa?
Speaker 1: If this is the story of Christmas, where is Santa?
Speaker 1: And she was like great question. And then she had
Speaker 1: explained to me how Santa was not involved with the
Speaker 1: baby Jesus and I was like, so he wasn't there.
Speaker 1: I no remembering to the school being like, well if
Speaker 1: Santa wasn't there, why is he here now?
Speaker 2: Coca Cola, wake up, wake up, Understand that there's there's
Speaker 2: a bigger thing at play. Okay, then your little holiday
Speaker 2: there's a grind happening. Oh no, no, no, Santa been
Speaker 2: on a grind for decades.
Speaker 1: Now with the Coca Cola bottling company.
Speaker 2: So it is a co Copaa in company. That's what
Speaker 2: that's what we call a partnership. Okay. Santa is a
Speaker 2: brand ambassador, all right, pushing this Coca Cola to the children,
Speaker 2: to the Americas. Okay. I wish that I could be
Speaker 2: on my hustle the way Santa is.
Speaker 1: All right, Say you live somewhere like Australia, okay, because
Speaker 1: comes it's hot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Christmas comes hot Florida. Sure, sure, I'm with Christmas.
Speaker 1: It's very interesting because it's like one you and my
Speaker 1: brother got a super soaker for Christmas because it was
Speaker 1: Miami in December. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what
Speaker 2: right now, you want to talk about Australia, you want
Speaker 2: to talk about Florida. Whatever. Santa makes it over there too,
Speaker 2: because he's on his grind all right. On one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand Go Away. You're telling how many miles prior it
Speaker 2: takes to get from Australia to the North Pole to Florida,
Speaker 2: that he does it all in.
Speaker 1: One night.
Speaker 2: In one night, all right, one night. If you told
Speaker 2: me that all I had to do to have a
Speaker 2: nearly year off was to grind for one night, I
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 1: Listen, But I think I remember as a kid almost
Speaker 1: trying to justify it, and it's like, okay, it's probably
Speaker 1: the whole country is that he gets to skip.
Speaker 2: There are countries that he gets to skip. But he
Speaker 2: also got the plan and he got the logistics. Right.
Speaker 2: You never see somebody ever tap their temple that's actually
Speaker 2: saying something smart.
Speaker 1: He got the logistics.
Speaker 2: Okay, you see what I'm saying right here. He got
Speaker 2: the logistics down all right, He got his routes already
Speaker 2: planned out. He got the l's. Because that's the other
Speaker 2: thing that people don't realize is sometimes sometimes it's about synergy.
Speaker 2: Sometimes it's about building yourself up and then having people
Speaker 2: under you. So then you got Sanna right here, right,
Speaker 2: and then he got five l's. That also got five
Speaker 2: l's that they were their friends, and then they each
Speaker 2: get five l's, and so you get a little triangle
Speaker 2: going right, and then a real pyramid. We don't really
Speaker 2: use words like that because that's that's the type of
Speaker 2: stuff the haters say Okay, So anyway, you got your
Speaker 2: triangle of success.
Speaker 1: But listen, if you want a triangle of success, would
Speaker 1: you rather have a one side or would you rather
Speaker 1: have a triangle with four?
Speaker 2: I mean now you're thinking, now you think it that
Speaker 2: that's actually once again, I don't know, it's not clicking
Speaker 2: for you about what's helpful and what's hateful.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you only do three sided pyramids.
Speaker 2: You know, I can tell I can tell what somebody
Speaker 2: not gonna take the mission seriously, like I could tell
Speaker 2: what somebody six no, no, no, I can tell that's
Speaker 2: that's cool, that's cool. I get it. You aren't ready
Speaker 2: to receive the message, you know, you're not really ready
Speaker 2: to be on it like Santa's on it.
Speaker 1: Okay, so when do you buy one? I found out
Speaker 1: that because for some reason, the conversation of the genders
Speaker 1: of the reindeer came up, because okay, because why not,
Speaker 1: because why the fuck not? And somebody was saying that
Speaker 1: all of them are a male, and then I was
Speaker 1: looking at it and it's like they weren't. Apparently all
Speaker 1: of them would have to be female.
Speaker 2: Including Rudolph, including Rudolph.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, because of the time of year, and also
Speaker 1: female reindeer also have antlers. Let's google this. What I'm
Speaker 1: saying is that there's a lot of things that we
Speaker 1: ask because it comes to stuff like this, because like
Speaker 1: we're trying to do the logistics, we're trying to like,
Speaker 1: oh it already, I said, we're Santa's reindeer. Here we go. Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen,
Speaker 1: comic Keeper, Doughter and Blitzen and yes, even Rudolph are ladies.
Speaker 1: The original ete, first introduced in the eighteen twenty three
Speaker 1: poem A Visit This is so funny? Who runs the
Speaker 1: slave girls? Science says Sander's ray deer are all actually female.
Speaker 1: And this is in People magazine.
Speaker 2: Let me tell you something that just makes me respect
Speaker 2: Santa even more, all right, because it makes me respect
Speaker 2: more women.
Speaker 1: Oh so the males of the species shed their head
Speaker 1: your mid December. Mm hmmm, so they wouldn't have so.
Speaker 2: While these dudes out here with busted tail lights right right.
Speaker 2: Santah was like, ladies, we gotta do we we It's
Speaker 2: up to us, all right, It's you, me and the
Speaker 2: elves wherever they are. The Santa Is. I think it's
Speaker 2: good for the children now he's not.
Speaker 1: It's the thing is, it's there are parents that work
Speaker 1: very hard, very hard to give their children Christmas, might
Speaker 1: work an extra job. When you remember the footage from
Speaker 1: the tick of Me Elmos.
Speaker 2: I'm with you, yeah, rather than dad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just fought seven bitches and a target at
Speaker 1: two in the morning to get your little lasses. Elm.
Speaker 2: I threw bowls for you.
Speaker 1: I threw bowls for you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I'm just ripped. I don't I didn't even bring my purse.
Speaker 2: Your mom did it perfectly. Your mom did it perfectly.
Speaker 2: Some of the presents are from me, some of them
Speaker 2: are from Santa.
Speaker 1: Parents work really hard to give their kids Christmas, and
Speaker 1: this motherfucker gets all the credit. Now, I listen, I
Speaker 1: gave multiple people black eyes for you to get this
Speaker 1: Teddy Ruck's pen. I DeBow somebody else to get two
Speaker 1: of them because I want for you and your brother,
Speaker 1: and thank you Santa. Santa's not icing his knee right now.
Speaker 1: Santa does not have frozen peas on his knuckles right now.
Speaker 2: Then that's the gift that comes from mom, all right,
Speaker 2: But the plaid shirt can be from Santa. Why don't
Speaker 2: you knock Santa down a peg. I'm saying, if you're
Speaker 2: taking this route, I'm saying to the parents, how about
Speaker 2: you be a little bit more inventive. How about you
Speaker 2: make it so that when you have to tell your
Speaker 2: kid that Santa's not real, they're like, I didn't like
Speaker 2: his presence anyway. This dude was garb day one.
Speaker 1: Okay, had giving me socks and underwear.
Speaker 2: You know what, every year, if you really worried about this,
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna say, in order for your kid to both,
Speaker 2: I think this is a good middle ground between the
Speaker 2: two of us. We don't usually do middle grounds, but
Speaker 2: I'm gonna try, right, I think a good middle ground
Speaker 2: between the two of us is go ahead and tell
Speaker 2: your kid about Santa. But for every Christmas when they
Speaker 2: ask Santa for all the stuff, you get the stuff
Speaker 2: that they want from Santa, and then you put the
Speaker 2: gift under the tree from Santa, and it's just crackers.
Speaker 2: It's just saltines, you know. And look, some kids love crackers.
Speaker 2: Some kids will be like, oh my gosh, saltines. I
Speaker 2: needed some of these goldfish. But overall, you can be like,
Speaker 2: all right, look, Santa clearly not coming through heavy with
Speaker 2: the presents and so then years from now, hopefully just
Speaker 2: a couple when you have to tell your kid that
Speaker 2: says not real, they get to learn a lesson about
Speaker 2: life and they're not as let down because now they
Speaker 2: know you were the one putting in the work for
Speaker 2: those presents to begin and with Okay, but yeah, we'll
Speaker 2: kick it to you the listener. You know, how do
Speaker 2: you feel about it? Do you think that people should
Speaker 2: be told about Santa? Should not be told about Santa?
Speaker 2: Do you think it's harmful or helpful? Do you think
Speaker 2: that we did a good job presenting to you the
Speaker 2: facts of our argument and some pretty good along the
Speaker 2: way things.
