Speaker 1: Happy holidays, Fable babies, and welcome to a special holiday
Speaker 1: edition of hashtag Storytime. I'm back with the Fable family.
Speaker 1: We've got Jason and Dan Yella, and we're going to
Speaker 1: share some some some hot We're gonna dive deep into
Speaker 1: some holiday trauma. Are you guys ready to unpack that? Yes?
Speaker 1: Let's go all right first, before we dive into the
Speaker 1: reddit stories. Uh, I just I just want to know
Speaker 1: a little bit about your guys holiday traditions. Jason, you're Jewish? Guilty?
Speaker 1: What is uh? Okay, let's restart. Jason, You're Jewish? Jewish?
Speaker 1: Just so everyone knows Jason's Jewish. So I'm gonna have
Speaker 1: to Yeah, I guess I'm talking about Christmas so much.
Speaker 1: I love it. Okay, I got good Christmas? Well, Jason,
Speaker 1: didn't you? I mean you you might have to do
Speaker 1: a whole separate Storytime episode but did your dad own Christmas, uh,
Speaker 1: like decoration stores or Christmas? He did. Yeah, so Christmas
Speaker 1: as a as a Jewish boy, in a Jewish man,
Speaker 1: Christmas has had a large presence in my life, and
Speaker 1: so I've always really wanted to celebrate Christmas, but it
Speaker 1: was the family business. So all of my Christmas memories
Speaker 1: are really at stores in the Midwest setting up Christmas decorations.
Speaker 1: I set up like not only the Nativity scene, but
Speaker 1: the whole city of Bethlehem and all these figurines. So
Speaker 1: it was a unique experience where not only did I
Speaker 1: not get to celebrate, I had to plan the party
Speaker 1: for everyone else basically, and then you didn't get to
Speaker 1: reap the benefits. Yeah, because Honikah Hankah is great, but
Speaker 1: Hanikah is just like the celebration of like a military operation.
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of like a lesser Fourth of July,
Speaker 1: where you know, a group of of militants took a
Speaker 1: took a stand. So it's cool, but it's not really
Speaker 1: like a gift giving type of thing. It's just it's
Speaker 1: just that it lines up at the same time as Christmas.
Speaker 1: So it's been kind of commercialized in in a similar
Speaker 1: way exactly. So Christmas has a big place in my heart.
Speaker 1: I hope to one day celebrate it non religiously but culturally. Danielle,
Speaker 1: do you have any weird Christmas traditions, weird family, honest
Speaker 1: traditions around the holidays. I like, when I used to
Speaker 1: be in Catholic school, we would go to church. Um,
Speaker 1: me go to Mass and my dad is a Buddhist. Yeah, weird,
Speaker 1: this is my corkiest one. My dad's a Buddhist. So
Speaker 1: we would go and then he would be in the
Speaker 1: back and like not take the Eucharist and like we
Speaker 1: were so ashamed when we were young. I'm like, Dan,
Speaker 1: you're making me look weird. Dad to eat the body
Speaker 1: of Christ. Dad with the far Yeah, I was like
Speaker 1: drink the blood that he turned from wine to water.
Speaker 1: And he was he was just there for the music,
Speaker 1: he would say, and he would just be like, everyone's
Speaker 1: a great singer. I'm like, that is the radio but
Speaker 1: yeah it uh, I don't know he used to go
Speaker 1: to church. I guess now we just like travel to
Speaker 1: see family. So there were no Mad's of the Nativity set.
Speaker 1: I guess I should also probably do a spoiler alert
Speaker 1: if there are any children listening to this, parents, you
Speaker 1: probably should take them away or to put them to
Speaker 1: put them to bed, because there might be Santa spoilers
Speaker 1: in here. Um so like his real identity yes, Tim
Speaker 1: Allen and his location no, I will now that the
Speaker 1: children aren't listening. I was going to ask, when when
Speaker 1: did you find out that Santa was not real? About
Speaker 1: thirty seconds ago? That hurt you made it twenty three
Speaker 1: years believing. I think there's a new Netflix holiday rom
Speaker 1: com that's about this woman who's dating a full grown
Speaker 1: man who still believes in Santa genius. They'll make anything,
Speaker 1: they will, and I will watch anything. Okay, I don't
Speaker 1: really remember what age. I just remember that the same
Speaker 1: wrapping that Santa had under the tree was in my bathroom,
Speaker 1: Like my mom was getting sloppy about it. Yes, she
Speaker 1: was getting a little messy. Um and that was rude
Speaker 1: because you need to keep it in order. But it
Speaker 1: definitely was elementary school. So maybe like second third, that's
Speaker 1: all world, that's it's It's that I have nephews that
Speaker 1: I write around that age, and I'm like, I gotta
Speaker 1: be careful. Yeah, Jason, when did you what did you
Speaker 1: think of Santa? And you know, did you believe? Yea,
Speaker 1: what was your When I was in first grade, I
Speaker 1: do remember coming back from school around you know, December,
Speaker 1: before the holidays, and and just talking to my mom
Speaker 1: about Santa and what all the kids believed because we
Speaker 1: had already, you know, had the Christmas stores I've been
Speaker 1: going to those. Santa was a huge figure. Um. I
Speaker 1: don't remember ever wondering if he was real or not,
Speaker 1: but I do remember in first grade coming back and
Speaker 1: being like, all my friends believe in Santa, Like what
Speaker 1: do I do? And I think my mom was like,
Speaker 1: this is going to be our little secret, and don't
Speaker 1: spoil it for everyone else, you know, something that they
Speaker 1: don't know. And so I think for a kind of
Speaker 1: the duration of my friends believing in Santa Claus, I
Speaker 1: was always kind of like, yes, yeah, totally, that guy
Speaker 1: did give you gifts, just kind of smirking to myself,
Speaker 1: knowing that I had a little yeah, I had a
Speaker 1: little secret with mommy about the non existence of Santa.
Speaker 1: I love the idea of just like third grader Jason
Speaker 1: being like, sure, oh yeah, I'm sure that fat man
Speaker 1: peased down your chimney and brought you brought you presents
Speaker 1: it may have created a whole personality. Yeah, it may
Speaker 1: have created a whole personality. Um, I think I think
Speaker 1: for me, I was I don't know how old I was.
Speaker 1: I was in elementary school, but I remember parents got sloppy.
Speaker 1: I remember getting a present and on the tag it
Speaker 1: said from Santa, but the tag was a Toys r
Speaker 1: Us tag and I like looked at it and was like,
Speaker 1: Santa opposite toys r Us. And I think my older
Speaker 1: brother James was like, Santa isn't real. Will figure it out.
Speaker 1: The workshop ran out of toy trot to stop at Yeah,
Speaker 1: he could have played it off. You could have been like, yeah,
Speaker 1: he's just you know, sometimes he needs to pick up
Speaker 1: some things and you know. But yeah, James just came
Speaker 1: in with the cold heart truth. Was like brutal. You
Speaker 1: needed Jason as an older brother like him. That's what
Speaker 1: he does. Wank wank. We all have. We all have
Speaker 1: very strong youngest sibling personalities. So that's true energy. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we bring that that baby energy, that baby in the family.
Speaker 1: Literally like at twenty far making my mom carry me
Speaker 1: still if she could, she probably would. Um. Now, now
Speaker 1: I want to ask the question of if you could
Speaker 1: have anything, anything for for Christmas, for Hannukah this year?
Speaker 1: What's the what's the one thing on the top of
Speaker 1: the list for you? Danielle, what's what do you want
Speaker 1: for Christmas? Um? A free nose job? Okay? Any surgeons
Speaker 1: listening that want to do a sponsored deal? Danielle was
Speaker 1: looking for hashtag story time for off about it, TikTok,

Speaker 1: he's got the fot twel Um, this is a really
Speaker 1: fun Christmas I don't know how we ended up on fotus. Okay, great,
Speaker 1: let's jump into some Reddit stories I've got. I'm going
Speaker 1: to kick it off with a classic am I the Asshole?
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna read the story and then we shall vote.
Speaker 1: We shall share our thoughts of whether or not the
Speaker 1: original poster of this is an asshole or not. We
Speaker 1: are kind of judge jury and asshole kuener. Alright, so
Speaker 1: this is uh, this was posted. This is from this month,
Speaker 1: so it's it's it's recent, supposed to by user four
Speaker 1: and uh. The title of it is, am I the asshole?
Speaker 1: For calling my wife unreasonable for backing out of spending
Speaker 1: Christmas with my family after my mother rejected her cookie sample. Um,
Speaker 1: everybody's probably wondering what's a cookie sample? And why was
Speaker 1: it rejected by her mother? Let me tell you why. Okay,
Speaker 1: So the poster I'm assuming the poster is is a
Speaker 1: is a male, but we shall see so for context.
Speaker 1: For every holiday, my mother would ask the women in
Speaker 1: the family my sister's sister in law, my wife, my
Speaker 1: female cousins to send samples of the desserts they plan
Speaker 1: to bring to the celebration for testing and to see
Speaker 1: if these desserts could make it to the food menu.
Speaker 1: My wife has been complaining about my mother deliberately rejecting
Speaker 1: every dessert sample she sent so many times. My mother
Speaker 1: has told her that she's being honest and keeping the
Speaker 1: guests best int at heart. Yet my wife still thought
Speaker 1: that my mother is deliberately excluding her since two of
Speaker 1: her dessert samples were rejected before. Okay, for this year's Christmas,
Speaker 1: my mother is doing the same thing, but this time
Speaker 1: she told every woman who's participating to make a cookie
Speaker 1: sample and send it to her for testing. My wife
Speaker 1: took it as a challenge, and to be honest, she
Speaker 1: worked really hard to make a good sample and send
Speaker 1: it to my mother days ago, and the results just
Speaker 1: came in yesterday. I came home from work and found
Speaker 1: my wife upset. I asked what's wrong, and she told
Speaker 1: me that my mother rejected the sample she sent and
Speaker 1: decided to exclude her baking from the Foodless menu for
Speaker 1: Christmas this year. I didn't know what to say, but
Speaker 1: she told me that she was backing out of the
Speaker 1: invitation to attend Christmas with the family. I was stunned
Speaker 1: when I heard her make this statement. I tried to
Speaker 1: talk her out, but she said it was done. I
Speaker 1: called her unreasonable to decide to bail on the whole
Speaker 1: family over some cookie sample. That's just freaking crazy and
Speaker 1: quite unreasonable. We had a full on argument about it. Later.
Speaker 1: I heard her cry despite telling her that her baking
Speaker 1: is amazing and people have preferences, that's all. Am I
Speaker 1: the asshole for insisting that her decision was unreasonable? Wow? Yeah,
Speaker 1: so a lot to unpack their um thoughts is first thoughts,
Speaker 1: is uh the mom Mary Barry from The Great British
Speaker 1: Bake Off? I was gonna say, is his mom Gordon Ramsey?
Speaker 1: What the fun? Yeah? Yeah? What is high stakes? Is it?
Speaker 1: Cake episode? Um? That's not I could see this being
Speaker 1: a fun thing if it was treated lightheartedly and not
Speaker 1: so cutthroat. But it sounds uh like mom's psychical. But
Speaker 1: also you could just say, you know, they're good, to
Speaker 1: keep them on the side. Maybe don't make a couple
Speaker 1: of dozen, you know, I don't think you can tell
Speaker 1: someone to stop their passionate aking, you know, for the holidays,
Speaker 1: like the holidays, they're they're all about It's all about
Speaker 1: like inclusivity and like being together, and like this is
Speaker 1: the exhaust opposite of that. Yeah, to make it into
Speaker 1: some fucking cutthroat ship and of like and and I
Speaker 1: am the judge jury of the cookie samples, like and
Speaker 1: also why is it only the women? Why don't the
Speaker 1: men make any I love making cookies. Yeah, what the fuck?
Speaker 1: What happened to her? Do you think as a kid,
Speaker 1: because this is a childhood trauma that is playing out
Speaker 1: in holiday drenched him. I think at some point she
Speaker 1: must have hosted a party and everybody brought stuff and
Speaker 1: then somebody was like this is bad. This is all
Speaker 1: this stuff is bad. And then she was like mortified
Speaker 1: and be like I'll never have an unsampled party before
Speaker 1: ever again. Geez, she's acting like this is like a wedding,
Speaker 1: you know, when you have like cake testing before, Like
Speaker 1: this is just mom paw around the fireplace, Like I
Speaker 1: don't think anyone would be that offended if the snicker
Speaker 1: doodle was bad. Like, also, can you really mess up
Speaker 1: a cookie? Yeah? I mean yeah, if you use salt
Speaker 1: instead of sugar, you can. Okay, Well, but I'm sure
Speaker 1: like she spent a lot of time working on this recipe.
Speaker 1: I'm sure she got it down and it tasted good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well then part two, do you think that's unreasonable? Like
Speaker 1: I think I would be like, all right, you don't
Speaker 1: like the cookie, haha, make a joke about it, but
Speaker 1: I'll see you at Christmas dinner. For her to just
Speaker 1: pull out completely. Do you think that's unreasonable? I might say, yes,
Speaker 1: that's a bit drastic. I you know, I have two suggestions.
Speaker 1: One is the mom is an asshole, and that she
Speaker 1: should instead of taste like testing everybody, everybody should bring
Speaker 1: whatever cookies they want, and then she can have a
Speaker 1: gold star or a blue ribbon for the best one
Speaker 1: if she still wants to have this kind of like
Speaker 1: weird competition part of it, but be like everyone brings
Speaker 1: and then yeah, and we can vote. We can also
Speaker 1: like people have different you know, preferences. Some people like
Speaker 1: a soft, gooey some people like a crispy cookie. You know, like,
Speaker 1: don't decide my cookie preference for me. Let go on
Speaker 1: my cookie journey. Maybe the more the merrier. Yeah, you
Speaker 1: never know who likes the weird ones or I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's no need to completely remove a cookie that sounds
Speaker 1: like a crime. And then my second suggestion for the
Speaker 1: mom was, well, this is more for the sorry for
Speaker 1: the wife is is still go, but bring some ross
Speaker 1: asked cookies, some disaster cookies in a secret compartment and
Speaker 1: replace the cookies that are out there that the mom made,
Speaker 1: replace them with some just crusty, gross, salty ass. I
Speaker 1: don't know what honestly tastes like pure putting telling tellers,
Speaker 1: I would then to make a mockery of it. Um,
Speaker 1: I would like show up every year to this cookie
Speaker 1: contest competition with the worst sour dough, ol'tmeal, strawberry cookie,
Speaker 1: upside down loafer cake, you know, to really scare them all. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that sounds good to me. Also, though I do before
Speaker 1: we vote, I just wanted to say that the wife
Speaker 1: probably needs to have a little bit of thicker skin.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry mom was mean to you, But to
Speaker 1: just like not go because you're scared, Yeah, you just
Speaker 1: got to grow up a little bit. Yeah. Also, she's
Speaker 1: taking it to a new level, like now there's now
Speaker 1: there's war with with mother in law. Also, just don't
Speaker 1: just don't play the game, like, don't play mom's game. Yes,
Speaker 1: good one. Don't. She's she's you know, she is participating, right,
Speaker 1: she is. She's willingly participating in this hunger games. Uh
Speaker 1: you know that the mother is is m Is Flavious
Speaker 1: Corbin Neu Tella Johnson of Districts five ive. But just
Speaker 1: be just. I would just not participate, and then I
Speaker 1: would show up and I would just I would shoot
Speaker 1: on all of her cookies and I'd be like, these
Speaker 1: are this, Yeah, these are too soft, too dry, be
Speaker 1: a little Goldilocks with all the cookies. You're you're right,
Speaker 1: But I wouldn't play her game. No, I'm like, if
Speaker 1: she wants to be dramatic like that, then do it
Speaker 1: the opposite way. Go to Christmas, get a marsk capone cookie.
Speaker 1: Bite it. It's so dry you faint and cough and
Speaker 1: you need time like remover, you know, like really commit
Speaker 1: to the bit that you know she's just pulling out
Speaker 1: too fast and it's a bit, it's a bit dramatic.
Speaker 1: I will have an allergic reaction and an EpiPen episode
Speaker 1: and the EpiPen exactly that'll show her. Just commit. Okay,
Speaker 1: So there's an update at the bottom here and says
Speaker 1: the guy. Original poster says, great. So I just got
Speaker 1: off the phone with my brother and he told me
Speaker 1: that his wife is doing the same thing as my
Speaker 1: wife and that she has decided to back out of
Speaker 1: the invitation to spend Christmas with the family as well.
Speaker 1: Turns out, my wife I must have told her about
Speaker 1: her decision and she decided to follow the lead. My
Speaker 1: brother's pissed, saying, my wife is encouraging his wife to
Speaker 1: do this. I see that the problem has gotten bigger now.
Speaker 1: Who knows my younger sister might not join and has
Speaker 1: decided to not go as well. I don't know how
Speaker 1: this got out of control so quickly. I guess we'll
Speaker 1: have try to have a discussion with my mother about
Speaker 1: this soon and see how it goes. So there was
Speaker 1: a There was a follow up question to where somebody
Speaker 1: asked which other cookies were denied, and the guy said,
Speaker 1: my wife wasn't the only sample who has rejected. We
Speaker 1: have sister in law, brother's wife and younger sister were
Speaker 1: also rejected. From her own daughter. She rejected her own
Speaker 1: This is now yeah, this is now just good enough,
Speaker 1: Jessica turning into a sketch where Will Forte and Will
Speaker 1: Arnett walk in with turtlenecks and say, mother, you've offended
Speaker 1: my wife. You've offended my wife, and my wife won't
Speaker 1: come and sister won't come either, and you need to
Speaker 1: do something about this. Mother. Yes, mother, I would like
Speaker 1: to suckle from the nipple though first before these boys
Speaker 1: need this whole thing. Reeks of the mom being like,
Speaker 1: no one's good enough for my beliefs. Yeah, mommy, that's insane. Also,
Speaker 1: who passed the test then, mommy? Clearly without the whole family.
Speaker 1: I think she picked her own and then maybe some
Speaker 1: a cousin or two. Oh will I actually just got
Speaker 1: an update on this story. Uh, the rehditor is Mike Pence.
Speaker 1: Mike Pence was the redditor. Ah that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, wow,
Speaker 1: it's all clear. Okay, let's vote original poster. Is the
Speaker 1: original poster an asshole in this situation? Um, Danielle, what
Speaker 1: do you think like the wife or you're saying him
Speaker 1: not the wife, the husband, the man is the husband
Speaker 1: saying that she's honestly, now that we've discussed it, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that he is being the asshole because his
Speaker 1: mother and he's on understanding. It's just a weird setup
Speaker 1: and I don't like it. There's just there's no need
Speaker 1: for this. I will say he is he's being an asshole.
Speaker 1: He is being an asshole. Jason, what do you think? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's being an asshole. I think his wife
Speaker 1: should go. But I also think he should just speak
Speaker 1: with his mother, let her know how unreasonable she's being.
Speaker 1: And then I think his wife should get a little
Speaker 1: thicker skin and just go and be the bigger person,
Speaker 1: and he should not be so afraid of mother. To
Speaker 1: two votes for asshole, I'm going to I'm gonna make
Speaker 1: it unanimous that this guy is an asshole, although I
Speaker 1: will say mom is the supreme asshole in this story.
Speaker 1: But original poster yes, also an asshole for calling his
Speaker 1: wife unreasonable and also just like making her participate in
Speaker 1: this weird family hunger games uh and not finding a
Speaker 1: way to to talk to his mom and and smooth
Speaker 1: things out between the whole or just not just tell
Speaker 1: her to stop this ceaseless criticizing and high you know,
Speaker 1: steaks for everyone's desserts and just we just all get
Speaker 1: together and eat some freaking cookies. Wow, I can't imagine
Speaker 1: the process that goes into it. For like the main
Speaker 1: entree apparently she only does it for the desserts though,
Speaker 1: but so like, you can bring whatever you know Christy wants,
Speaker 1: not the scones. Yeah, Jesus, that's so she draws the line.
Speaker 1: I mean, as a sweet tooth lover, I might be
Speaker 1: siding with the mother. Suddenly, Um, I got a story
Speaker 1: actually that is. It's not an am I the asshole,
Speaker 1: but it definitely involves an asshole that I would love
Speaker 1: to share that. Let's take a quick break, and when
Speaker 1: we come back, Jason is going to share a story
Speaker 1: about a real holiday asshole. All right, we're back, all right, Jason,
Speaker 1: I'm all yours. So this is also a holiday asshole? Uh?
Speaker 1: The redditor is split Ender. This was twelve years ago. Also,
Speaker 1: so different times. I really want an update. Yeah, at
Speaker 1: different time. I mean Avatar had just come out. Avatar
Speaker 1: too was just a twinkle in Jim Cameron's eyes. But
Speaker 1: so split Ender says, how about one of my earliest
Speaker 1: childhood memories waking up early Christmas morning and running downstairs
Speaker 1: to find my parents passed out naked on the living
Speaker 1: room floor, where they apparently had decided to have sex
Speaker 1: after we all got back from a drunken Christmas Eve
Speaker 1: at Grandma's house. I was horrified and crept back upstairs
Speaker 1: to lay awake in my bed until I heard noises downstairs.
Speaker 1: Slowly I went back downstairs. My mother was putting presents
Speaker 1: under the tree. Thankfully, she put a rope back on.
Speaker 1: In a raspy, hungover voice, she told me go back upstairs.
Speaker 1: Santa hasn't finished yet. Sadly, that was not the last
Speaker 1: time I saw my mother naked on Christmas. I think
Speaker 1: Santa did finish. Yeah, that sounds like they were all
Speaker 1: done there. Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, split ender. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's went from Christmas to Halloween real quick. Um, that's
Speaker 1: really spooky. I mean, I feel speechless just the trauma
Speaker 1: that that kid. Because when you're coming down the stairs
Speaker 1: Christmas morning, the amount of like joy anticipation, Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like that is the greatest feeling of That's like you're
Speaker 1: about to jump out of a plane level of like
Speaker 1: anticipation and excitement, you know what I mean. And then
Speaker 1: to run downstairs and to see your parents just in
Speaker 1: a sex puddle, sweaty, passed out, crusty sex. The word
Speaker 1: of the episode is gonna be crusty, but it really
Speaker 1: is crusty Christmas. The last thing that you want to
Speaker 1: see on Christmas morning is, yeah, is your parents post coital?
Speaker 1: Oh my god. And then going back upstairs and then
Speaker 1: laying in bed and just staring at the clock and waiting.
Speaker 1: That just ruins Christmas for the whole day. I think
Speaker 1: I couldn't open a gift and be like looking at
Speaker 1: whatever the same, like I would have to sit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean the holidays just ruined forever now, you know.
Speaker 1: And also what the hell is going on? Like what's
Speaker 1: going on at this Grandma's Christmas party? That everyone was
Speaker 1: getting blast to me like non not probably took her
Speaker 1: dentures out, like it's just Christmas eat, you know, like this,
Speaker 1: uh sounds like a party. I wish I was invited to. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this is like the drunken, crusty version of I saw
Speaker 1: a mom kissing his Anta Claus. Yeah I was. I
Speaker 1: was going through the you know, like probably what happened
Speaker 1: with the parents? You know, it's like all right, like
Speaker 1: Kevin's asleep, we should probably put the should probably put
Speaker 1: the presents, grab the presents, put the presents under the tree.
Speaker 1: But Mrs Claws is have you been working out? Oh
Speaker 1: my god? I'm sure you can find the whole scene
Speaker 1: on porn hub that's probably exists. And since since you
Speaker 1: said Kevin, I'm now realizing this is the exact inverse
Speaker 1: of Home Alone. This is home not alone, the nightmare
Speaker 1: nightmare inverse of Yeah. Also another quality title for this
Speaker 1: is Nightmare before Christmas. Yeah, there we go. Absolutely, Oh
Speaker 1: my god, go back upstairs. Honey hasn't come yet. Oh
Speaker 1: my goodness, Literally and figuratively, I would just take my
Speaker 1: stocking and go to the neighbor's house. Calidday get adopted
Speaker 1: like it would be over. Yeah. Yeah, Christmas is not
Speaker 1: like traditionally a sexual holiday. It doesn't seem like. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, I was thinking when I was
Speaker 1: reading this, how everyone's like sexually attracted to the Grinch
Speaker 1: now and this is like the story manifestation of that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like the this is the Grinch in different form. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look when nothing gets the juices flowing, like,
Speaker 1: you know, like a bottle of egg nog and some
Speaker 1: figgy pudding. Yeah, did they even bite the cookies and
Speaker 1: like take a chomp of the carrots? For the cookies
Speaker 1: were everywhere? You know, stockings. Mom was wearing Santa loves
Speaker 1: him so much. Oh my god. Yeah, I don't know
Speaker 1: about that. I would be deeply, deeply unwell, yeah, traumatized.
Speaker 1: I guess that also revealed that Santa is his mother, correct,
Speaker 1: like he the mom like killed two dreams in one.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's also probably how they found out how
Speaker 1: Santa wasn't. What a brutal way to deliver that truth bomb. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this poor kid. But it's noon. It's a New Year's Eve. Mother, Um,
Speaker 1: that is insane. Yeahs um, alright, great. I actually have
Speaker 1: one more very quick am I the Asshole that kind
Speaker 1: of relates to this one? Uh if I could share
Speaker 1: before we jumped to Danielle. So I'm gonna thro all
Speaker 1: this one in there really quick because I was such great.
Speaker 1: It's just such a great quick story. Okay, So this one,
Speaker 1: this am I the Asshole, is from a supposted by
Speaker 1: user oh mom uh, and they wrote, my husband's family
Speaker 1: likes to drink. Every holiday includes multiple bottles of wine
Speaker 1: slash cocktails. I hate drinking. I've never drank. My father
Speaker 1: was an alcoholic. I think it's childish and if you
Speaker 1: can't have fun without drinking. This year, I'm hosting Christmas
Speaker 1: for a change, and I decided, since it's at my house,
Speaker 1: no alcohol allowed. We are all getting older and it's
Speaker 1: time to grow up. My husband's sister called to ask
Speaker 1: what she could bring. She saw a recipe for Christmas
Speaker 1: martini that she wanted to bring. I told her about
Speaker 1: my no alcohol rule. She didn't say much, but must
Speaker 1: have told the rest of the family. Some of them
Speaker 1: started texting me, asking if I was serious and saying
Speaker 1: that is lame, but I'm not budging. Now. It turns
Speaker 1: out my husband sister is hosting an alternate gathering, but
Speaker 1: almost everyone is choosing to go to instead. It's so disrespectful,
Speaker 1: all because they would they would have to spend one
Speaker 1: day sober. My husband told me he talked to a
Speaker 1: sister and we are invited to her gathering. She said
Speaker 1: we should go and stop causing an issue, but I won't.
Speaker 1: It's so rude. Now my husband is mad because I'm
Speaker 1: making him stay home and spend Christmas with me. But
Speaker 1: it was my turn to host, and I chose to
Speaker 1: have a no alcohol day so they could have dealt
Speaker 1: with it for one year. Wow. I think she's taking
Speaker 1: it a little too far. I don't think you could
Speaker 1: do it it's not even drying January, like it's the holidays.
Speaker 1: If you don't want people to get that toasted, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know, make it only be beer. And also
Speaker 1: if her family is getting like crazy wasted and slamming
Speaker 1: through pong tables, like you know, that's another problem within itself.
Speaker 1: Like and someone else is hosting and no one's going
Speaker 1: to yours. That's just horrible. And the husband probably hates
Speaker 1: his life. So oh my god, she is. Yes, the
Speaker 1: bamboozling the party is so funny. The sister being like,
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna throw my own party. Everybody's invited, and
Speaker 1: everybody going, I'm going to that one. It's a little
Speaker 1: it's pretty childish. I mean, I think it's fine to
Speaker 1: host a party and just be like, hey, I'm not
Speaker 1: providing alcohol, like I want to keep it a little
Speaker 1: classier this year or whatever. Um, but feel free to
Speaker 1: you know, bring anything you want to drink. That's fine.
Speaker 1: But to say it's no alcohol party, you're you've been
Speaker 1: a little much. This is the most both humble scrooge
Speaker 1: Christmas I've ever heard of. Yeah, don't ruin it for
Speaker 1: everybody else. Do you want to get a little tipsy.
Speaker 1: Also this lady, it sounds like I need to drinks
Speaker 1: to just hang out with this lady. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: maybe that's why no one wants to be sober around you. Look,
Speaker 1: I understand that she's just realizing that her father was
Speaker 1: an alcoholic and that runs in the family, and there's
Speaker 1: you know, if she chooses not to drink, that's her choice,
Speaker 1: Like totally, that's great. But to be so judgmental and
Speaker 1: be like, you're all a bunch of children. You can't
Speaker 1: be sober for one day? Cheese? Yeah too much? Yeah, hater, hater. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't even know if we need a
Speaker 1: vote on this one. I think it's pretty clear that yeah,
Speaker 1: like good convictions. I respect it, but don't yeah, don't
Speaker 1: hold others to your standards. It's pretty funny. In the comments,
Speaker 1: there's some great ones of people just changing Christmas carols
Speaker 1: to like boozy things like I'm dreaming of a what
Speaker 1: Russian or all I want for Christmas is boom as
Speaker 1: m Rudolph the Red Nose drunkard at a very hotty pot.
Speaker 1: People only to go with caroling at her door with this. Seriously,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick little break and won't come back,
Speaker 1: and then Danielle is going to hit us with some
Speaker 1: unpopular opinions around the holidays. All right, welcome back, all right, Daniella.
Speaker 1: I am fired up for these unpopular opinions. I'm ready
Speaker 1: to debate. So let's go alrighty, what is your most
Speaker 1: unpopular Christmas opinion? Anonymous asked, let's start off with the
Speaker 1: first one. In my opinion, the Snowman is creepy as
Speaker 1: fuck and only understandable as a public service film about
Speaker 1: strained your danger and I will not be told otherwise.
Speaker 1: So Frosty, specifically Frosty Frosty, Yeah, Frosty. I think the
Speaker 1: thing that you're bringing a lot of baggage. The thing
Speaker 1: that's creepiest to me about Frosty is the is Frosty's mortality.
Speaker 1: Like usually we don't are like our holiday characters don't
Speaker 1: don't have like a built in death sentence. Yeah, born
Speaker 1: and died like it has his expiration date. And yeah,
Speaker 1: I think he's a little odd in the movie. He's definitely,
Speaker 1: you know, a sore subject to look at, but it's
Speaker 1: not not not the prettiest. Yeah, but I mean, hey,
Speaker 1: he has Christmas charm um. Yeah, he's he's definitely like
Speaker 1: just the most fragile of all of the holiday uh
Speaker 1: you know character where it's just like, oh, you're you're
Speaker 1: gonna die at any moment. Yeah, yeah, get out of
Speaker 1: the sun or the movie ends early like that's we
Speaker 1: want to eat your Yeah. Also he's a smoker. Why
Speaker 1: why you know he's got his his pipe like and
Speaker 1: no wonder he's melting. Yeah, he's a little stoner to die. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what's that? What's that, Frosty? What are you smoking? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Why are your eyes like that? Um? What's he? What
Speaker 1: does what does he want? What is Frosty looking for? Like?
Speaker 1: What's his goals? I don't just to not die? That
Speaker 1: the whole thing, it's rough. That is a sad life. Yeah, alright.
Speaker 1: Number two. Someone said Elf on the Shelf the worst
Speaker 1: thing to ever be created. I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: the worst thing. I I just I don't. I don't really.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's like pointless? Did you ever? Well?
Speaker 1: I feel like elphan the Shelf is relatively new, or
Speaker 1: like I didn't have it as a kid, So it's
Speaker 1: like parents spying on their kids, or like an elf
Speaker 1: is spying and when the kids do good things. What happens, Well,
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's like good bad. It's more
Speaker 1: so like a game of hide and seek. So like
Speaker 1: you have this felt, little wooden elf and then every
Speaker 1: night the parent or people take turns and then you
Speaker 1: hide it and make it do different things. So it's
Speaker 1: like in the blender for sugar cookies, or I've seen
Speaker 1: someone that it's like in a pile of snow and
Speaker 1: like you know, elephant crazy last night, or you know
Speaker 1: you can take it kind of anything. Yeah, it seems
Speaker 1: like parents giving themselves a hard job every night just
Speaker 1: for what reason. The joy of your children, ye, great reason,
Speaker 1: but like get not worth it. Yeah, I definitely missed
Speaker 1: the elf on the shelf years and it seems like,
Speaker 1: I don't know, it's weird when they're new, uh, customs
Speaker 1: added to holidays, Like I feel like on St. Patrick's
Speaker 1: Day now kids make traps for lepri Cons like I
Speaker 1: never was trying to trap apricas. Yeah, whoa, I think
Speaker 1: that's like a new thing where it's like like you
Speaker 1: build a leprechn trap on St. Patrick's Day? Perps? When
Speaker 1: did that start? But it's all just commercialism, it's all
Speaker 1: just trying to sell more ship. You know, I'm surprised
Speaker 1: that Elf and the Shelf doesn't have a horror movie yet.
Speaker 1: It feels like an episode of Chucky, like a holiday
Speaker 1: episode where it's like Elf on the Shelf, like Chucky's
Speaker 1: spirit goes into an Elf on the shelf. Someone commented
Speaker 1: on then and said, I think Alf on the Shelf
Speaker 1: is a creepy little bastard, and I think it is
Speaker 1: just about social media. I hate him. And yeah, he's
Speaker 1: kind of a stalker. He's a little crazy. Yeah, he's
Speaker 1: a peeping tom. There's there's also one for he's a
Speaker 1: peeping out. Yeah, he's on a men on the bench
Speaker 1: on the bench. That's what it is. Yes, And that's
Speaker 1: just it's anti semitic. I don't know how. I just
Speaker 1: know that it is. It's just target semitic in some way.
Speaker 1: They're like, it's got a rhyme. I don't know, put
Speaker 1: him on a bench, okay. Um. Someone else says Christmas
Speaker 1: carols are way better than Christmas songs. Try to prove
Speaker 1: me wrong. Oh what is it? So we're going we're
Speaker 1: saying silent night. I'm like, hard how the bell sweet
Speaker 1: silver bells all seem to say through cares away that
Speaker 1: that song is a bop. That's yeah, but she's claiming
Speaker 1: this person is claiming that the carols so are silent
Speaker 1: night are Um. I don't know which. I'm jolly jolly,
Speaker 1: I know now it's better than the like Mariah Carey,
Speaker 1: the Melancoli maka um. I don't know. I kind of
Speaker 1: I kind of fun with some some carols me too,
Speaker 1: now that we've really distinguished what's the carol or not?
Speaker 1: I might be team Caroling. But also it's beginning the
Speaker 1: look Chris's so job absolute banger. Yeah, I agree. Um, alright,
Speaker 1: someone says this one is I'm not really sure because
Speaker 1: I can see it being a good one or not.
Speaker 1: I hate the movie The Polar Express. It is so boring.
Speaker 1: I always fall asleep and what is the plot? Creepy
Speaker 1: Eyes that was like early CG. That was like the
Speaker 1: first one of the first, if not the first, fully
Speaker 1: CG movies, and everybody just has dead eyes. It's just
Speaker 1: the birth of the Uncanny Valley. They always referenced that
Speaker 1: film with Uncanny Valley. I I think that it is
Speaker 1: really long. It is a little snoozy, but it's just
Speaker 1: like a good Christmas feel. But the c G I
Speaker 1: is a little creepy. Everyone looks like they have a
Speaker 1: lazy eye. Um. But it's like a comfort film for me. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean I'll listen to Tom Hanks v O all
Speaker 1: day long. Um. Someone said, kind of becoming a try
Speaker 1: hard after he got COVID. He's active. He just how
Speaker 1: many accents? Yeah? How many accents do we need to post? Elvis?
Speaker 1: You're saying, yeah, and Geppetto and Pinocchio, and now he's
Speaker 1: playing this grumpy guy named Auto. It's like, alright, Forrest Gump.
Speaker 1: It worked because it's the South. All your other weird accents.
Speaker 1: Take a break, Tom, I just want Tom to be
Speaker 1: Tom again. Yeah you know, Um, let us get back
Speaker 1: to Let's do Big two, right, Yeah Hanks's kid. Yeah,
Speaker 1: call it little little, big little t um. Someone said,
Speaker 1: let's settle this debate. Is die Hard a Christmas movie?
Speaker 1: I think it is the most boring film ever. Whenever
Speaker 1: someone brings it up, I just know that they've downloaded
Speaker 1: their personality from Facebook or read it. What are you
Speaker 1: having never seen die Hard? Die Hard is fantastic. It's
Speaker 1: a fantastic action film, great performances all around. Yes, there's
Speaker 1: Chris it takes place during Christmas. It is Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: There's uh ho now I have a machine gun? Ho
Speaker 1: ho ho. That's the one of the lines in there.
Speaker 1: I mean, Alan Rickman. Hans Gruber is one of the
Speaker 1: greatest villains in an action movie of all time. Um,
Speaker 1: so I didn't download my personality from Facebook. I appreciate
Speaker 1: good quality action cinema. Yeah, I'm a behind you will.
Speaker 1: I think though this this person brings up a good
Speaker 1: point of people who are obsessed with that question. Is
Speaker 1: it a Christmas movie? Is a little bit. It gives
Speaker 1: me like coal from season three of Love is Blind energy,
Speaker 1: where it's like on a date, I'm gonna be like,
Speaker 1: what is your favorite dinosaur? Everyone must have a favorite dinosaur.
Speaker 1: And it's like, Bro, if you are worrying about this
Speaker 1: on a date or making this a big part of
Speaker 1: your personality, something is wrong with you. You have a
Speaker 1: hole in your in your in your life that girlfriend
Speaker 1: is not going to fill. It's the same as people
Speaker 1: who are like moist is my least favorite word. It's like, okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: and did you really lose sleep over that? Yeah? Like that,
Speaker 1: No vocab should be making you grow back hair Like
Speaker 1: it's not true, But I mean, die Hard is a
Speaker 1: fantastic film, Daniel, you should watch it this holiday season.
Speaker 1: Half of the movie because Bruce willis just talking to
Speaker 1: himself like this. He's just going like, way to go, John,
Speaker 1: Like come out to California, John, It'll be fun, John. Yeah,
Speaker 1: why have a good time? Why if you left? John?
Speaker 1: Come on, John, what are you gonna do? It's just
Speaker 1: him like talking to himself. Uh, it's fantastic. I can't
Speaker 1: go around and what I'm gonna do next time? Though?
Speaker 1: Someone asks me if I think Diehards a Christmas movie, though,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna walk up to that person. I'm gonna give
Speaker 1: them a hug, and I'm gonna say I notice you.
Speaker 1: I notice you. You're being noticed. I see you are
Speaker 1: special regardless. Yeah, you're enough. Just tell me about yourself.
Speaker 1: That good I think everyone from now on, if anybody
Speaker 1: gets it, there springs up the die Hard argument. Just
Speaker 1: go embrace that person and let him know. Yeah, there's
Speaker 1: no need I don't. Yes, Yes, it's a Christmas alright.
Speaker 1: One more popular last one, how does your family do it?
Speaker 1: Is Christmas? Gifts opened on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day?
Speaker 1: We do Christmas Eve? Wait, was that the reheator saying
Speaker 1: we do Christmas Eve or you Danielle, Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: The reheator said that, Okay, what do you do like
Speaker 1: family gifts? It would be Eve and then if Santa
Speaker 1: previously was more coming through, it would be day. But
Speaker 1: we do more Eve now than day. Nonsense, total nonsense. Okay,
Speaker 1: Christmas Day, Christmas Morning is where the presents. That's when
Speaker 1: Santa comes on Christmas Eve in the night. You wake
Speaker 1: up and you open all the presents. That stand to
Speaker 1: Braun and I went to my girlfriend's house in South
Speaker 1: Dakota a couple of years ago for their holidays and
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. They were like, let's open all the presents.
Speaker 1: And I was like, why, what what are you guys doing.
Speaker 1: You're doing it wrong. And they were just like, this
Speaker 1: is how we do it. We open all presents on
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve. And I was like, this is madness. This
Speaker 1: is madness. Okay, not all, but majority I think e
Speaker 1: like you know, from ants or grandparents and then like
Speaker 1: my mom or my sister. I'll be like give it
Speaker 1: to me Christmas Day so I can feel like a
Speaker 1: kid again. Yeah, it's all about coming downstairs or whatever,
Speaker 1: waking up and getting in your pj's and going to
Speaker 1: the tree and then like just tearing open presents and
Speaker 1: then having all day to play with them. And it's
Speaker 1: all that waking up and downstairs finding your parents naked
Speaker 1: next to the tree in a cuddle puddle of post
Speaker 1: coital bliss, and being scarred for life and then hating
Speaker 1: Christmas forever. Well, I would also bet that it says
Speaker 1: a lot about the impulse control of your family, because
Speaker 1: I would say families that open on Christmas Eve probably
Speaker 1: are having a boozier Christmas, and families that can wait
Speaker 1: are probably having a little bit more of a sober,
Speaker 1: meaningful time. That's just my judgment I'm putting. Interesting, that's
Speaker 1: my read. Fascinating, I know. I mean when I was
Speaker 1: a kid, my parents would be like, we're not opening
Speaker 1: presents until eight am. And I would wake up at
Speaker 1: am and I would sit there and I would stare
Speaker 1: at the clock and I would watch the minutes go
Speaker 1: by until eight o'clock. Run into my parents room. Yeah
Speaker 1: it's time. I have a type. I'd be first up,
Speaker 1: wake up my sister, then the family, and then my sister.
Speaker 1: Like even recently, not recently, but maybe less than six
Speaker 1: years seven, like I still will be waking up pretty
Speaker 1: early because it's just how it's done. And she often
Speaker 1: was like chill or not like young like that anymore.
Speaker 1: We don't have to be up at six like you
Speaker 1: clearly have let the Christmas fear die. Yeah, we were,
Speaker 1: you know. I used to obviously live at my parents
Speaker 1: house when I was a child and also sometimes as
Speaker 1: an adult. But now we have Christmas Eve dinner and
Speaker 1: then we all go back to our respective homes and
Speaker 1: then Christmas morning we drive back to our parents house
Speaker 1: and I'll have Christmas together. Weird, weird. I forgot to
Speaker 1: mention this earlier, and my weird family customs. My mom
Speaker 1: always makes corned beef hash and poached eggs on Christmas
Speaker 1: Morning and it's wonderful. And now I just that sounds like,
Speaker 1: let me some corn corn be fashion poch eggs. I'm
Speaker 1: excited for that meal on Christmas Day. But I feel
Speaker 1: bad for for my nephews now because they got to
Speaker 1: like sit in a car ride and wait. And also
Speaker 1: I don't know how they're Like Santa goes to like
Speaker 1: Miami and pep Yeah, so how does he know? I
Speaker 1: don't know. He's a tricksy one that Santa Claus Well,
Speaker 1: I think we I think we covered a lot of
Speaker 1: ground here. Um, I think we we've drawn some lines
Speaker 1: in the sand in terms of some popular opinions. We've
Speaker 1: we've we've learned about some asshole parents and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: booze grinches. Um. I feel crusty. This is a real
Speaker 1: crusty episode. UM, I don't what did we learn? What
Speaker 1: did we learn this episode? What's one one takeaway that
Speaker 1: we can share with the audience? Um, now her have
Speaker 1: a cookie contest. Um, no matter how low or die
Speaker 1: hard movie fanatic you are, there's no need to put
Speaker 1: people's taste buds at steak for that. Um, And don't
Speaker 1: get too drunk, or if you do, at least make
Speaker 1: it upstairs. Yeah, Jason, want to do that. I learned
Speaker 1: that just people need help. People need to just like
Speaker 1: hash stuff out. So I would say, like on December
Speaker 1: or out as far in advance as you need before Christmas,
Speaker 1: like call up your family members and just kind of
Speaker 1: talk to them and let them know you're all on
Speaker 1: the same page and you just want to spend time
Speaker 1: together because that can probably save a lot of heartache. Yeah. Yeah,
Speaker 1: My main takeaway is if you're going to bone under
Speaker 1: the tree on Christmas and set an alarm and get
Speaker 1: your ship together before the kids come downstairs, you filthy animals. Well,
