32
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: is make people laugh. And so in today's episode and

33
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: our Christmas special, we're doing it big with all the

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: things and this is America segment. We're talking favorite Christmas moments,

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: so the stuff that made us fill all warm and fuzzy.

36
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: But we're also getting nostalgic with Christmas crazes that we

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: grew up with. And y'all know my Super Producers is

38
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: a little old, so we take it it way back.

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: We're gonna talk about the toy as we begged for.

40
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 1: The commercials that lived in our heads, rent free and

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: the super that all the things that we wanted going

42
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 1: back were also wrapping back the wrapping paper and getting

43
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: a little spicy with Christmas versus capitalists. Now we all

44
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: know that we don't turn Christmas from whatever they said

45
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 1: it was. It churched to pretty much a place of

46
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: seeing who can get the most gifts under the tree

47
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: and fitted in the living room. Do you get a cry?

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 3: Now?

49
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: So we're talking about how America America with that, and

50
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: then in celebrities say the darness things we got. Trump

51
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: allegedly happy that we no longer actually say Christmas.

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: Now everybody's saying Merry Christmas again.

53
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: People have been yelling Merry Christmas like it's a personality traite.

54
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: But we're getting into all of the fake culture wars

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: why politicians act like the real problem is America is

56
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: the seasonal greetings and not everything else. By the way,

57
00:02:58,160 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: we're also doing lists. I did not tell my superproducers

58
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 1: one of my favorite Christmas albums. We're talking Christmas albums,

59
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: Christmas movies. We are getting into it. So turn the

60
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: lights onto the tree, grab your hot chocolate, make sure

61
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: you pull a little Bailey's in that thing, and we're

62
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: getting a little selectively ignorant. As always, I am joined

63
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: by my super producer journalism Jason what's going on? And

64
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 1: a king what to do?

65
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: Las Min and research is crazy because we don't got one.

66
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: Jeff, you don't got one. Off the top of his head.

67
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: You know what's crazy.

68
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: I ain't even gonna go there with you an go

69
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: over there is the holiday seasons. We gotta be nice,

70
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: you know what I mean, we gotta be nice to call.

71
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: But Christmas, Christmas is one of those holidays. But like,

72
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: I'm not depressed. I'm also not a giver. I just.

73
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 5: I think you are a giver.

74
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: You shocking nothing out my kouchie.

75
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 5: Oh you mean like that.

76
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 2: I ain't no mother, so I don't get gifts.

77
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: I like, that's kind of like my excuse like the

78
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 1: holiday season for me. And when I say the holiday season,

79
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: it's you know, that's pretty much Q four right. So

80
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: I'm leaning. I'm leaning specifically into Christmas because I love

81
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: like I enjoy Halloween, I enjoy Thanksgiving now that I

82
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: could eat a little bit more for it. There was

83
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: a few years I didn't like it, you know, got

84
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: that gastrick sleeve. A bitch just had to smell food

85
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: again and fooled that shit sucked. I could eat a

86
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: little bit more now I know how to make my

87
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: plates where I get all the taste. But Christmas for

88
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 1: me especially, maybe I say post December fifteenth, it's my

89
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,599
Speaker 1: alone time. Now I say post December fifteen, because bitch,

90
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,919
Speaker 1: I am at every holiday poddy. So I like the

91
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 1: holiday parties, but Christmas specifically as someone who's not a mom,

92
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: as someone who doesn't really go back home. And I

93
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:08,760
Speaker 1: don't go back home because my mom loves time and

94
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: a half, so she's somebody that loves to work on holidays.

95
00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 1: And then my sister, my sister for so many years

96
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: was in other countries, serving this goddamn god forsaken country

97
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: we live in, and so I never was like there

98
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 1: was no reason for us to all get together around

99
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: the holidays. And again, a lot of my friends, now

100
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: the older I got, the more that they had to

101
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 1: be home for their kids. And so Christmas for me

102
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: is normally just the time I get to sit back, relax, recoup,

103
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: and prepare myself for the New Year's. It's always just

104
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 1: something where I wake up it's nothing different. I think

105
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: New York Christmas was tough for me because I'm a

106
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: single person. This is going to be also very first

107
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: world problems, y'all. I can't stand the goddamn like menus

108
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: where you only get whatever they could like a holidays

109
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: like Thanksgiving and Christmas. If you go to restaurants, these

110
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: bitches do prefixed menus with a price that it to

111
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: me never add up, Like why the fuck are you

112
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: charging me eighty seven dollars for meat loaf?

113
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 6: Like and it be ship that I don't want.

114
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean. But all of

115
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: the restaurants, because I'm not really cooking a meal, do

116
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,040
Speaker 1: this prefixed bull shit. Cannot cook.

117
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 6: I just I just actually strike that.

118
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk, yeah, I tell you, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah,

119
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 1: I about to say I talked about it on Thanksgiving.

120
00:06:41,520 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: I cook, but I cook. I enjoy cooking for a

121
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 1: lot of people. And so again, I ain't got no kids.

122
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: My boyfriends live in other states and I don't have

123
00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: holiday plans with them, so you know, I just get

124
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: to sleep in. Yeah, that's it fresh.

125
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 6: A lot of people want that.

126
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like how I celebrate the holidays is I know,

127
00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:10,040
Speaker 1: I buy pine candles and gingerbread candles. I mean, I

128
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: make my house smell like the holidays, right, and that's

129
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: about it.

130
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 5: You're going to decorate a cat, are you a cat?

131
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: So I don't. I don't get a tree. I got

132
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 1: a little baby mini tree one year, and every time

133
00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 1: I fucking came home, that ship was knocked over. And bro,

134
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: he is my cat is so you know, it's crazy.

135
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,600
Speaker 1: He's more bad with other people, like he loved me

136
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: down and I literally wish other people could see how

137
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: much he's a lover boy. They don't see that. I

138
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,040
Speaker 1: having a lot of him in the room and ship

139
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,800
Speaker 1: like it's embarrassing. Like he's like a dog. I have

140
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,679
Speaker 1: a trans dog, so what life?

141
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 2: I guess he's a trans cat. No, he's a trans dog.

142
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 3: Whoever's listening, please don't fake outrage. We're just having fun

143
00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 3: and relax the fake outrage.

144
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's that.

145
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,720
Speaker 2: Basically, my cat acts like a dog.

146
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Listen my cat when someone is at the door, and

147
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: then Nigga goes to the door and sits there, and

148
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: when anyone enters the door, everyone has to put their

149
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: hand down so he could sniff it. And then when

150
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,239
Speaker 1: I'm sitting on the couch. He likes to play fetch,

151
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,840
Speaker 1: so me and him play fetch from time to time,

152
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: and he humps things like a dog, and whenever there's

153
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: a sound, he put his little head up like he

154
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 1: about to do something.

155
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 2: I literally be like, now, Boddy, what the fuck are

156
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:35,240

00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 4: celebrate Christmas. You know, it's because it's an American thing.

315
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 4: It's become you think he's just event. Listen, I'm listening

316
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 4: to this.

317
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: Get a little tricky over here, Like, Okay, was that

318
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: a conversation before y'all got married? No, Like how y'all

319
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: would have kids celebrate the holidays?

320
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 4: No, you know that's interesting and that ends up being

321
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,240
Speaker 4: like another episode. I think when you get married and

322
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 4: you end up like sitting at the table together, like

323
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:59,080
Speaker 4: the dinner table, you start realizing, like your cultural stuff.

324
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 6: SU's coming up, and y'all, what type of food are

325
00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 6: we going to eat?

326
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: Like you don't realize that until you get in, and

327
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 4: so that's that's why you have to be like how

328
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 4: does so she's not really practicing, so it's not that

329
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 4: we hold the faith, but she doesn't do Yeah, like

330
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,240

333
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 4: Has their own, but it's it's usually a calendar thing.

334
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,200
Speaker 4: So it's like for them, the new Year starts with

335
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:24,960
Speaker 4: the spring, not January first.

336
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:26,200

Speaker 4: You're not supposed to just eat it out the bag.

444
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 4: You're supposed to eat them up right, but people cut

452
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 5: A homeboy.

453
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 3: He puts all his left those on a hero bread

454
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,639
Speaker 3: cranberry potato. Shoot, they sell it like that.

455
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,119
Speaker 1: Now if you go, if you go to like certain delis,

456
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 1: they have Thanksgiving Day sandwiches, and it's that. It's stuffing turkey,

457

Speaker 1: cranberry sauce, sometimes some caligreens, depending on where you go. Something. No,

458
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,919
Speaker 1: but y'all here the thing cranberry sauce.

459
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:35,880
Speaker 2: Just put a little bit.

00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 1: Of that thing on the spoon with anything else, and

461
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: then it makes sense, Like, don't just think you gotta

462
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: eat it holding your nose. It's just not good. It's

463
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:47,840

465
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: not going to do a double down and take it back.

466
00:21:54,520 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: But I wanted to get into the history of Christmas. Now,

467
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,919
Speaker 1: this is the history that I found that is hidden

468
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: deep down into the archives of the deep dark web,

469
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: but I wanted to share it with you if you

470
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 1: came to the live show last year at Sony Hall

471
00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 1: for the rebrand announcement of Decision Decisions, I brought this

472
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:23,760
Speaker 1: out on stage, and I wanted to bring it here

473
00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,520
Speaker 1: because I thought like, y'all need to be informed, and

474
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,719
Speaker 1: I need y'all to know that Santa Claus was pro

475
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: sex work, and we just wanted to bring that here

476
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: to selective ignorance. So, Jason, I did make you do

477
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: a little bit of the research, and so can you

478
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: share a bit of the story and then we can

479
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: dissect it? Ay, King, did you know this story? Did

480
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: you look up this story?

481
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,320
Speaker 5: Are you aware of Santa Nope?

482
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,640
Speaker 2: Okay, let's get into all Saint Nick.

483
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: For the holes.

484
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 4: So the legend of Santa Claus can be traced back

485
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 4: to a monk named Saint Nicholas Ye who was born

486
00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 4: in Turkey, and Saint Nicholas he gave away all his

487
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 4: inherited wealth, right, and he traveled the countryside helping the

488
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 4: porn sick. Yeah, he was like a backpacker, and so

489
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 4: a lot of it was like the children and sailors

490
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:16,040
Speaker 4: and sailors are prostitute adjacent. So that's why people say

491
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 4: he was the patron saint of prostitutes. But that that's

492
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 4: sort of where it came from. And then through all

493
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,560
Speaker 4: the different like language translations from like Turkey to Italy

494
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,080
Speaker 4: to countries, by the time.

495
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: You found the border story, you ain't even found a

496
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: story to the us of Santa Claus. So he was

497
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 1: also a pill I you didn't get the.

498
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:38,399
Speaker 4: The pimp part was that he was protecting sailors and

499
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 4: sailors like, no, no, no, you did, no, no no, you didn't

500
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,120
Speaker 4: see the part about his daughters.

501
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 6: No, no, no, what's that part?

502
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: Oh? Ship? See? I knew you found something else?

503
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 3: Now was this was Santa Claus? Did Santa Claus mean

504
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 3: other ship? In different areas in Europe? Because I know

505
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,600
Speaker 3: if story was about.

506
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: What Piet Okay, here we go. You already who was

507
00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:04,240

508
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 5: Sorry, Santa Claus?

509
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:11,320
Speaker 1: What is Santa Claus? What are you?

510
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 3: That's in the Dutch Santa Claus their folklore? Are you

511
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 3: doing an except?

512
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 6: And he was, But that's how but it got translated

513
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 6: to different languages and then they.

514
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: Put their on twist.

515
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:25,040
Speaker 6: Well, no, this one talk about and in America it

516
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:26,119
Speaker 6: got worse worse.

517
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, this one, this one is the legend,

518
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,640
Speaker 1: which that's why I don't know which one you found.

519
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: So this one, according to the legend.

520
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 6: One and the daughters, daughters listen.

521
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: So the connection between Christmas and prostitution sims from legends

522
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: about Old Saint Nick basically Santa Claus, and one of

523
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: the most famous stories, he saved three sisters from being

524
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 1: forced into prostitution by providing them with a dowry through

525
00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 1: gifts of gold tossed down their chimney, which then landed

526
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:02,840
Speaker 1: in the stockings. So he saved them from having to

527
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: be prostitutes by going ahead and just dropping them. Yeah,

528
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,280
Speaker 1: he dropped a bag and then I think he did

529
00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,159
Speaker 1: end up showing up, and you know, he poked all

530
00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:15,720
Speaker 1: of them because he said, baby, he said that was me.

531
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:17,919
Speaker 6: I paid for that.

532
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,760
Speaker 1: He said, that was me, it says. Another connection is

533
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,840
Speaker 1: found in the biblical story of Rahab, where a prostitute

534
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:28,400
Speaker 1: who was included in the genealogy of Jesus made her

535
00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: part of the Christmas story itself. But basically the Gospel

536
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,640
Speaker 1: of Matthew geniality of Jesus includes rab a prostitute from

537
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:40,439
Speaker 1: Jericho who helped the Israelites spies escape the city. And

538
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 1: so you have prostitutes was out here helping these niggas

539
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:44,800
Speaker 1: and it's just it's the oldest.

540
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 6: But he said them free.

541
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: He didn't know. I added to the story that he

542
00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 1: wasn't got that he wasn't just like nothing he ain't

543
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: doing for Men don't just get money for nothing. They

544
00:25:56,040 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: don't even take. Hey, hey, ladies, you get a gift

545
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: from a man this holiday season? He want something. If

546
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,520
Speaker 1: you ain't give him nothing yet, he won't it you

547
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:09,880
Speaker 1: gonna owe before the year in okay? Well no, but yeah,

548
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: that's the connection that I saw, And I was like,

549
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: oh damn, that's kind of crazy.

550
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 4: But it's it's kind of ill the way like as

551
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:19,960
Speaker 4: the it got passed down from country to country, person

552
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 4: to person, it.

553
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 6: All changed and eventually, but regardless of telephone.

554
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,160
Speaker 3: But then the Santa Claus even the concept of it,

555
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 3: and then you have the other narrative from the Bible.

556
00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 2: It's like, what's the narrative from the Bible? Sena Claus

557
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 2: is not in the Bible.

558
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,600
Speaker 3: No, no, I'm saying you have that thing happening with Santa Claus,

559
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:42,040
Speaker 3: then you have the Jesus birthday right, even that part allegedly,

560
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 3: and then the purpose of it, right the three King.

561
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: None of it makes sense because Jesus wasn't born in

562
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:49,080
Speaker 1: no cold.

563
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 5: It was like April, did you make some boyfriend tell

564
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 5: you that?

565
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 1: You said, what, No, never mind, We're not gonna do that.

566
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 2: We're not gonna do that.

567
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: So wait, where did Santa Claus come from? In the States?

568
00:26:59,400 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 6: So in the they no, it's from Coca Cola.

569
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:06,440
Speaker 4: Bit so I got a cartoonist, a cartoonist, so again

570
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:09,919
Speaker 4: it kept getting dragged from country to country, changed and

571
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 4: then a cartoonist did a drawing with like the red

572
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 4: suit and the beery thing, and that's how you got

573
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 4: like that that image.

574
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: And then he became popularized as early as nineteen thirty one,

575
00:27:21,720 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: but through commercials, specifically Coca Cola. That's crazy. That's really crazy.

576
00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: Also what it's what else is crazy? Random fact? I

577
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: was last month, I was on Isaac Kay's podcast talking

578
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:37,160
Speaker 1: about fan base and things like that.

579
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:43,359
Speaker 2: Did you know that Elon Musk is valued that has more.

580
00:27:43,200 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: Money than Coca Cola? The brand more money? There did

581
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:48,920
Speaker 1: y'all know that he is. Could I could?

582
00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 6: I didn't know, but that doesn't sound surprising.

583
00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 2: Hold on Coca, like, look up, look up the value

584
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 2: of Coca cola real quick.

585
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,480
Speaker 3: Let's see four hundred trillion gazillion, and then he got

586
00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,119
Speaker 3: five hundred gazillion coatrillion.

587
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: Oh no, it's like almost double.

588
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,640
Speaker 4: So value of Coca cola is approximately as of early

589
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:07,720
Speaker 4: twenty twenty twenty five, is forty six point three billion.

590
00:28:07,840 --> 00:28:11,040
Speaker 1: You ready, four hundred and seventy billion.

591
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,160
Speaker 6: Jesus, we haves multiple businesses too.

592
00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:17,720
Speaker 1: Bruh, bruh. No, man should have then Coca cola that

593
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,719
Speaker 1: should been out since the eighteen hundreds. And then they

594
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:26,600
Speaker 1: got all the plapers they do. They got vanilla cherry.

595
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 2: Or the Mexican coke diet.

596
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the one that comes into glass right, Yeah,

597
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:37,879
Speaker 1: like a man making mode and Coca cola is Crazee's crazy.

598
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 4: You're not find interesting about the whole Christmas thing too,

599
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,160
Speaker 4: is that it's so like for Christians, Easter was the

600
00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:47,800
Speaker 4: big holiday, and so it's true to keep because Easter

601
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,360
Speaker 4: was you know, Jesus death right, and so Christians is

602
00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,800
Speaker 4: supposed to be his birth's birth. Yeah, this is gonna

603
00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 4: sound weird, but it reminds me of like with like

604
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:57,520
Speaker 4: with Biggie. Right, we celebrate Biggie's death for a few years,

605
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 4: they try to move it to his birth and try

606
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,160
Speaker 4: to make the celebration there, but it just didn't take off,

607
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 4: you know. And so it's like in like the whole

608
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:10,800
Speaker 4: history of things to give Jesus like his birth and

609
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:13,440
Speaker 4: that ain't even I know, But for them to like

610
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 4: manage that and do that, that's that's kind of impressive.

611
00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, he had good pr Well, if.

612
00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 6: People want to make some money, I want to make

613
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 6: some money.

614
00:29:20,720 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: Definitely want to make some money branding. They had to

615
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: look at the holiday calendar.

616
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 6: You know what I mean, the December fifth, It was

617
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,280
Speaker 6: just randomly picked.

618
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,800
Speaker 3: So we're just picking parts of these these folklore and

619
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 3: just building some ship to make money off of it.

620
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 3: Because even even the concept of the Santa Claus given

621
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 3: the sex workers, that's money down the chimney, and that

622
00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:41,880
Speaker 3: concept we are the sex workers. They were given gifts. Yeah,

623
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,520
Speaker 3: we are receiving gifts, but.

624
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: That technically us technically technically the children a sex workers.

625
00:29:48,160 --> 00:29:48,840

Speaker 5: I think maybe I share it when we post this stuff.

784
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:49,879
Speaker 6: But I mean the photosta it's cool.

785
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:51,680
Speaker 5: It's like it's star in the mind with kids. You

786
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 5: know kids, you're like, all right, not knocking it.

787
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: I'm just no, Now, let me ask both of you.

788
00:36:56,520 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: Here's the problematic question. We know the history, but you know,

789
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,560
Speaker 1: niggas just drew a picture. Yeah, is Santa Claus Puerto Rican?

790
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 1: Is he black? Is he white? Like? Do y'all that

791
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: clip like like do you even you let your kids

792
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,320
Speaker 1: take photos with white Santa?

793
00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 6: My kid doesn't do the photo thing.

794
00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: Okay.

795
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 6: My kid thinks everybody is like Indian.

796
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 4: It's like it's like everything always that all about it.

797
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,920
Speaker 4: I think it's like from India. No, I think my like,

798
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 4: my daughter clearly knows that like her skin is different

799
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:32,080
Speaker 4: than white kids. But she's like hasn't formed her, like

800
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 4: she hasn't wrapped it around around it. So it's like

801
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 4: when book Fair comes or booked it, like Jose grabs

802
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,760
Speaker 4: Indian stuff, Native American stuff.

803
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:40,480
Speaker 1: No, like.

804
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:47,799
Speaker 3: Indian like wait, wait, like you had it, you just

805
00:37:47,840 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 3: wanted to do this.

806
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:51,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

807
00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 4: But there was a clip of that newscaster when she

808
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:55,760
Speaker 4: was like, Santa is white. She's look on Fox News

809
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 4: and she kept on like debating people. She was like

810
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 4: Santa is.

811
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,480
Speaker 6: White, and she kept doing her hand like that white

812
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 6: white and she.

813
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: Was just fighting China. Yeah, exactly, Yeah.

814
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,200
Speaker 5: That's weird imagery, right.

815
00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 6: Turkish.

816
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,200
Speaker 2: So that he definitely would have had a little tan.

817
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: Definitely, he definitely would have had a little It's just

818
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,640
Speaker 1: like waiting in the Bible about like a hair texture

819
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 1: and skin, Like your skin is outlive and your hair

820
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:21,440
Speaker 1: is like you know, the mic is in front of

821
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 1: Your skin is olive and your hair is like wool.

822
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:28,360
Speaker 6: And white people just like selectively like choose it know

823
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:28,799
Speaker 6: that part.

824
00:38:29,239 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: No, no, no, they don't selectively choose to ignore it.

825
00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: They rewrite it like they rewrite it. They sit here

826
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: and again I've talked about that they're removing critical race

827
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,719
Speaker 1: theory for a reason. Trump is going into these museums

828
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: like yeah, I don't think history happen that way.

829
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,399
Speaker 2: Take this ship up out of here, like Niggas is like.

830
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:51,960
Speaker 6: But that's the history of no no, no, but.

831
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:56,839
Speaker 1: White power selectively ignoring nothing. They are rewriting it and

832
00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,920
Speaker 1: choosing to push then just didn't exist.

833
00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 4: I agree with that, but I mean specifically, like when

834
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,239
Speaker 4: they're reading Bible passages, because that hasn't changed. It's like

835
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 4: they don't connect it too. And two, like olive skin,

836
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,240
Speaker 4: they just think it's like, oh, smooth, you know, that's.

837
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,640
Speaker 1: Been my big my biggest thing. And okay, call me

838
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: ignorant if you want, don't care. Brought this up on

839
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:19,560
Speaker 1: another podcast a couple months ago. It's why and maybe

840
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:20,880
Speaker 1: maybe you can answer this.

841
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 6: She's pointing to the black.

842
00:39:25,400 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 1: I don't understand knowing that how we as Afriking Americans

843
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,319
Speaker 1: and even I mean my Caribbean culture too, Jamaicans. I

844
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 1: don't know how black people adopted Christianity when a lot

845
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: of the slave masters were Christians. A lot of the

846
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 1: stories in the Bible, a lot of the depictions we

847
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:50,719
Speaker 1: depict them as white.

848
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 3: People we continued, we are part of the problem too,

849
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 3: because we had an opportunity to repair.

850
00:39:57,840 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: By independence.

851
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 3: We have all the information right, even even the construct

852
00:40:02,440 --> 00:40:07,719
Speaker 3: of African American should be challenged. Explain because that term

853
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,400
Speaker 3: that it wasn't introduced until Jesse Jackson introduced in nineteen

854
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:10,759
Speaker 3: eighty nine.

855
00:40:10,800 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: Well it replaced color.

856
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: But now we talked about removing people from their true

857
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:19,120
Speaker 3: status in this country as indigenous Americans because a lot

858
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,319
Speaker 3: of us can't trace nothing back to anyone else. Now

859
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 3: there are some that but I haven't seen it, and

860
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:25,160
Speaker 3: I'm not telling about.

861
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 5: The social media. We're not gonna do that.

862
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,239
Speaker 3: We're not going to please they're not going to do

863
00:40:29,320 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 3: the whoever, listen, stop, talk to your grand mama's and

864
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 3: your granddaddy's and your great grades and you'll get the

865
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 3: oral history there and then you start there. But all

866
00:40:39,719 --> 00:40:42,240
Speaker 3: of these constructs contribute to the problem. But I feel

867
00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,479
Speaker 3: like and I don't want to blame our eldest because

868
00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 3: they did the best they could what they had. But

869
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:50,160
Speaker 3: I think is our responsibility to to learn and unlearned

870
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 3: and relearn.

871
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:51,200
Speaker 5: This whole shit.

872
00:40:51,400 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 1: I just don't so like of like, you can't tell

873
00:40:54,680 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: me a Santa claus education.

874
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,719
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, knowledge after colonization, and we

875
00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:02,879
Speaker 3: know about this thanksgiving. You know, even if we take

876
00:41:02,920 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 3: that from from from that level, Santa Course is gonna

877
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 3: come in the hood and fucking Augusta Georgia and oh

878
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 3: with all this law.

879
00:41:11,800 --> 00:41:15,359
Speaker 1: What a white man coming down the chimney to give kid? Like,

880
00:41:15,960 --> 00:41:16,879
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, like.

881
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,960
Speaker 3: The fact that you and I know it sounds crazy,

882
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:21,640
Speaker 3: but think about in modern times.

883
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:23,160
Speaker 1: I looked in the projects.

884
00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:27,960
Speaker 3: He gotta go pissy elevator, the stairwell, like before he

885
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 3: gets there, it's gonna be hey, yo, what hey, what up?

886
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:34,000
Speaker 5: What you're doing? Right? It's so many different things that

887
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:34,680
Speaker 5: don't make sense.

888
00:41:34,719 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: I don't underparticipate it and we don't. But I don't

889
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:42,319
Speaker 1: understand how well it's so easy and situations so easy,

890
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,839
Speaker 1: and what about you know what, like we can get

891
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,400
Speaker 1: into that can you said? You celebrate what? Well?

892
00:41:47,800 --> 00:41:50,680
Speaker 6: I understand even like Puerto Rican Christmas time is way different.

893
00:41:50,680 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 3: Well even Kwanza, it's a contest. It is a construct.

894
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 3: All of this ship is right, and that's nothing bad

895
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 3: about it. It was intentionally done in the sixties and

896
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,440
Speaker 3: it was focusing on principles right, each day there's a

897
00:42:01,440 --> 00:42:06,080
Speaker 3: particular principle that reflects on community and responsibility and all

898
00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 3: the different things. And there's no gift giving. You know,

899
00:42:09,120 --> 00:42:11,920
Speaker 3: they do the gift giving a form of you know,

900
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,919
Speaker 3: you put like fruits and stuff like that. You could

901
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 3: do little gifts, but it's intentional things. It's not like

902
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 3: material things.

903
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:24,720
Speaker 1: So it's Kwanza essentially. Then African Americans removing ideology.

904
00:42:24,960 --> 00:42:26,880
Speaker 5: Or or not really removing.

905
00:42:26,880 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 3: It's just it's just an alternate, okay, right, because some

906
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 3: people don't believe the stories.

907
00:42:32,239 --> 00:42:33,359
Speaker 1: That which is what I'm saying.

908
00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 5: I just think or it doesn't resonate with them.

909
00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:37,640
Speaker 2: Should have happened with Christianity.

910
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 1: And I mean respectfully for those respectfully you know not.

911
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,600
Speaker 3: Santa Claus has nothing to do with Christianity right right

912
00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,600
Speaker 3: as we know this because we talked about it like

913
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 3: it has nothing clause, right, that's talked about it. That

914
00:42:51,480 --> 00:42:54,280
Speaker 3: has nothing to do with it. But people don't celebrate Christmas.

915
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:57,319
Speaker 3: Even in the construct of Jesus' birthday. We don't do

916
00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,120
Speaker 3: that because nowhere it said that Jesus.

917
00:42:59,920 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 1: Was you know, well, no, the wise men brought the gifts.

918
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:05,040
Speaker 1: That's where it's essentially the gift giving also comes from.

919
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 4: But the gift was a lot of the US shit

920
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,560
Speaker 4: element of it too, Like like there was so a

921
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 4: lot of it from when I.

922
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:11,280
Speaker 6: Looked up research.

923
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,839
Speaker 4: It's like it had to do with like year end stuff, right,

924
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:17,440
Speaker 4: and so like the Christmas dinner, it was really like

925
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 4: people with farms being like, Yo, I'm not gonna feed

926
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:22,359
Speaker 4: and house these cattle over the winter time, so fuck

927
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 4: are we gonna kill him on and eat it?

928
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: Oh?

929
00:43:24,640 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 4: So it was like it was much more just like

930
00:43:26,280 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 4: convenience and like happenstance. And then like when it came

931
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 4: from like Europe to the.

932
00:43:30,239 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 6: US, it kind of changes to stuff.

933
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 4: To me, it's like even when what you're starting to

934
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:36,400
Speaker 4: get into and kind of like what you're finishing, like

935
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 4: the way that information passes down from the family to fly.

936
00:43:39,719 --> 00:43:40,760
Speaker 6: I do worry about.

937
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 4: That a lot, and especially like now with the kids,

938
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,759
Speaker 4: like worrying how it passes over.

939
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:46,640
Speaker 6: So like I don't like the worst thing.

940
00:43:46,680 --> 00:43:48,040
Speaker 4: My biggest fear is like I don't want my kid

941
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:49,800
Speaker 4: to just be like a New Jersey girl, you know

942
00:43:49,840 --> 00:43:50,279
Speaker 4: what I'm saying.

943
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:51,640
Speaker 1: I want her to feel.

944
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,719
Speaker 4: Like she's Persian and Puerto Rican and the things that

945
00:43:53,760 --> 00:43:56,160
Speaker 4: got passed on to me, continue to pass that and

946
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,759
Speaker 4: for her, she's gonna have an end because too. But

947
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:01,200
Speaker 4: like sometimes I feel like we don't pass things down

948
00:44:01,400 --> 00:44:03,439
Speaker 4: like enough and like legitimate ways, and.

949
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,120
Speaker 5: Then I don't know where to.

950
00:44:04,280 --> 00:44:05,799
Speaker 4: I don't know if it's like like you said, like

951
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:07,400
Speaker 4: you're not trying to blame elders. So it's like I

952
00:44:07,400 --> 00:44:09,320
Speaker 4: don't know if it's elders. I don't know if it's us,

953
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:10,320
Speaker 4: like it's.

954
00:44:10,160 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 5: A I think it's a. I mean it's it's not.

955
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 5: It's not one thing.

956
00:44:13,320 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 6: It multi link in the changes.

957
00:44:15,320 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: I mean part of me.

958
00:44:16,080 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 4: What's responsibility, it's willful igorance. It's more of the wilful

959
00:44:20,239 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 4: and like you know what you're.

960
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: Doing and not showing your children certain things. It's not

961
00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:26,520
Speaker 1: going to become a traditional or not.

962
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:31,320
Speaker 4: Going to listen, but hey, they have fun, but you

963
00:44:31,400 --> 00:44:32,040
Speaker 4: have to keep it alive.

964
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 5: It's not realistic.

965
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,920
Speaker 4: And I'm joking a little bit with like the American Italian,

966
00:44:34,960 --> 00:44:37,560
Speaker 4: but it's there. It's like there's not like the real

967
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:39,879
Speaker 4: connection back right, And it's like I got homies who

968
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:41,799
Speaker 4: are like Jamaican, and I'm like, when's the last time

969
00:44:41,800 --> 00:44:44,080
Speaker 4: you you like been back like and it's like that

970
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:45,200
Speaker 4: shit ain't dumb know.

971
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: Well to be fair too from an economic standpoint a

972
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:49,879
Speaker 1: lot like it does cost a lot as well.

973
00:44:49,960 --> 00:44:52,000
Speaker 6: But I'm not saying to go for vacation. I'm talking

974
00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:54,799
Speaker 6: about like go back like once every ten years, go.

975
00:44:54,760 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 4: Back to connect it's your roots, you know what I mean,

976
00:44:57,239 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 4: and the things that you experience like it comes from somewhere,

977
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:01,920
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like I eat this food

978
00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 4: and comes from this way, from this place, and so

979
00:45:03,960 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 4: it's like to just never be there, never tie down

980
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 4: to it, or to like your point, like to just

981
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 4: remove yourselves. Yeah, partaking like now it sounds like it's

982
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 4: not like Bernie Sanders ship, but it's like to just

983
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:19,719
Speaker 4: participate in a capitalistic exercise and be removed from like

984
00:45:19,719 --> 00:45:21,239
Speaker 4: the culture element of it, like it does sound.

985
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:22,880
Speaker 3: That's why when you go to certain regions of states

986
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,480
Speaker 3: and then they have something that reminds you of where

987
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,399
Speaker 3: you're from your city food wise, yes, it's like, oh shit,

988
00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:30,680
Speaker 3: I gotta check it out because you know it's reminiscent like.

989
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:36,160
Speaker 1: Portland if they have a chop cheese ship for the Bronx. No, no, no,

990
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:40,239
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not eating cheese anywhere they.

991
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 3: And I will not and I'm not going to. I

992
00:45:45,840 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 3: love my atl I love y'all, but that's no. You

993
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 3: wouldn't want to do that if I go to Atlanta.

994
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 3: That's that's insane. That's why I did it, though, because

995
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 3: I get it.

996
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 2: No chop cheese over off the belt line.

997
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:01,759
Speaker 5: Yo, No, I've been making it in my house.

998
00:46:01,800 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 1: If that line already gentrified, you about to have a

999
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 1: chot cheet. They bought a New York Daily down.

1000
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 5: Man, I see New York style pizza.

1001
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,680
Speaker 1: Well yeah, oh, they got a whole place called Chicago Pizza.

1002
00:46:11,719 --> 00:46:16,560
Speaker 1: But it turned into a club one. Yeah, I did.

1003
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 2: I didn't want to talk about even though this is not.

1004
00:46:19,920 --> 00:46:22,080
Speaker 1: I do like the sales towards the end of the year,

1005
00:46:22,320 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 1: take advantage. We're not doing that. They actually said we

1006
00:46:24,239 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 1: should be boycotting that because of the government shut down

1007
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,160
Speaker 1: this year. Anyways, let's get into a little bit of sports,

1008
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: a little bit of entertainment, a little bit of the

1009
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 1: things that come around the holiday season.

1010
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 6: And yeah, can I set up the sports? So you know,

1011
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,000
Speaker 6: in Thanksgiving we talked.

1012
00:46:40,560 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 4: Because I wanted to, you know, and Thanksgiving we had

1013
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:45,080
Speaker 4: talked about football and so for Christmas time, it was

1014
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 4: the NBA. You watch basketball, it's like it's five games

1015
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 4: that they would always say, like the NBA season starts

1016
00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:54,400
Speaker 4: on Christmas Day, but since I actually.

1017
00:46:54,160 --> 00:46:56,759
Speaker 1: Think it starts after All Star weekend, but I'll give

1018
00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:57,399
Speaker 1: Christmas dash.

1019
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:00,360
Speaker 4: But since last year that's been challenging with like the

1020
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 4: Beyonce Bowl and the NFL is like they eating They're

1021
00:47:03,200 --> 00:47:04,439
Speaker 4: trying to eat the NBA's lunch.

1022
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:04,680
Speaker 3: Well.

1023
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:08,400
Speaker 1: Also they now also added a tournament for the NBA.

1024
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 6: And that's kind of in response to the NFL. It's

1025
00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:12,440
Speaker 6: so funny.

1026
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 4: So I used to work on seven PM in Brooklyn

1027
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:17,520
Speaker 4: with Carmelo and Merrow and we asked Mellow about this.

1028
00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 1: Okay, I want to want to see what mellow Mellow.

1029
00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,440
Speaker 4: We asked them about the NFL trying to eat into

1030
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 4: the NBA's lunch on Christmas.

1031
00:47:26,120 --> 00:47:28,719
Speaker 1: Please kid that the NFL is going to play games

1032
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:29,280
Speaker 1: on Christmas.

1033
00:47:29,280 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 5: Now, yeah, got here.

1034
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 1: This is a whole moment.

1035
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 7: Y'all got Thanksgiving, y'all got that day to Christmas, y'all

1036
00:47:36,680 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 7: own Sunday's Church, and y'all Sunday, and y'all got Thursday night,

1037
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,440
Speaker 7: and y'all got Monday night, Saturday.

1038
00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:55,360
Speaker 1: Saturday, come on Christmas Mondays.

1039
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 5: For that?

1040
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:58,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, that, and I want to point out that's him

1041
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,640
Speaker 4: getting mad. Mellow never talks like that, right, So when

1042
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 4: that came up, I was like, Yo, he really don't.

1043
00:48:03,520 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 6: Like this ship. But but yeah, Netflix is eating into.

1044
00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: It's crazy though too, because it depends what game, it

1045
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 1: depends how good of a team that you're on as well.

1046
00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:15,440
Speaker 1: I knew a lot of players that hated that they

1047
00:48:15,560 --> 00:48:19,240
Speaker 1: never liked Christmas with their family, like because they always

1048
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:21,800
Speaker 1: had a game or were traveling or were away.

1049
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:24,799
Speaker 4: So but the ones that I talked to, they but

1050
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 4: last year, what did you watch last year? Did you

1051
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 4: watch basketball games?

1052
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,879
Speaker 6: Or did you watch the Netflix football games?

1053
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:31,080
Speaker 1: That was the one where Mariah Carey sang.

1054
00:48:31,280 --> 00:48:34,440
Speaker 4: The Beyonce halftime performance, and it was the Netflix. It

1055
00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 4: was the Texans and the Ravens. Last year was the

1056
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:40,320
Speaker 4: first one, Shabouzi, I think that the well.

1057
00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,359
Speaker 2: Well no, they all came out right. I watched it.

1058
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: I watched it, but again, it's Christmas. So I went

1059
00:48:45,960 --> 00:48:48,560
Speaker 1: to my homegirl house and also watched Next Friday, like

1060
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:50,839
Speaker 1: I whatever.

1061
00:48:50,600 --> 00:48:51,080
Speaker 5: Was on TJ.

1062
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: I watched you. Did you watch it?

1063
00:48:53,280 --> 00:48:53,480
Speaker 5: Though?

1064
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 1: Did you this is this is I did because she

1065
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:57,919
Speaker 1: had that Denim Ountain next to that white man who

1066
00:48:58,000 --> 00:48:58,839
Speaker 1: was who was the white man?

1067
00:48:58,920 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 4: Christmas game? This ain't the super Bowl. This is just

1068
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:04,759
Speaker 4: a Christmas game. It was even that greater game. And

1069
00:49:04,840 --> 00:49:06,439
Speaker 4: Netflix threw money to this.

1070
00:49:11,200 --> 00:49:13,600
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not, I'm not mad at it. It

1071
00:49:13,680 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: is nuts, I think, I.

1072
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 4: Will say, but the ratings last year, I will say

1073
00:49:21,960 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 4: it's because jay Z could have done this for the NBA.

1074
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:31,040
Speaker 1: Interesting, jay Z left the NBA. He to be fair,

1075
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:35,160
Speaker 1: he did only he did only own like less than

1076
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: a percent of the Brooklyn.

1077
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:38,560
Speaker 5: Nets, right, but he helped usher in.

1078
00:49:38,920 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: He helped usher In going into Brooklyn. Right. So what

1079
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,040
Speaker 1: we're seeing him do in terms of the Super Bowl

1080
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:47,920
Speaker 1: halftime performances.

1081
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:49,600
Speaker 2: Seeing what he's not doing because he has more.

1082
00:49:49,719 --> 00:49:52,439
Speaker 1: Which is also crazy because allegedly he had to sell

1083
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:56,960
Speaker 1: his stake of the New Jersey Nets, sorry the Brooklyn Nets.

1084
00:49:57,080 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: He had to sell his stakes because he became an

1085
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 1: agency Rock Nation Sports.

1086
00:50:02,120 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 2: So I'm not sure how it's different with the rules

1087
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 2: and whatever he's doing over with the NFL, But how

1088
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 2: did he stay But had he stayed with stayed with

1089
00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 2: the NBA, I think we would have seen a lot

1090
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:17,719
Speaker 2: of things like this, like I.

1091
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,240
Speaker 6: Have as interesting.

1092
00:50:19,960 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 1: But it's also interesting for me too because for him

1093
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:26,200
Speaker 1: to leave a league that is predominantly black, A lot

1094
00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:29,239
Speaker 1: of the performances that All Star Weekend are black, might

1095
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:31,600
Speaker 1: you know, it was really interesting that he felt the

1096
00:50:31,680 --> 00:50:33,799
Speaker 1: need to go over to a league that didn't want

1097
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:35,319
Speaker 1: black players to to.

1098
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:38,520
Speaker 6: Kneel that, you know what I mean, there is more.

1099
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:41,400
Speaker 1: Money, but also with what the NBA is doing currently

1100
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:45,040
Speaker 1: right now, which the NFL is kind of trying to do,

1101
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:46,600
Speaker 1: but it's gonna take them a little bit longer because

1102
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:49,440
Speaker 1: it's such an American sport. Bro the NBA is global.

1103
00:50:49,920 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: The NBA now has preseason, they're moving it from they

1104
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:55,600
Speaker 1: were just doing it in Abu Dhabi. They're now moving

1105
00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 1: it to Macau, sou Korea, Abu Dhabi. I think they're

1106
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 1: bringing something inside America and London. As of right now,

1107
00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,360
Speaker 1: the NFL is trying it. They're doing it in London

1108
00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: and Brazil, but it's gonna take a lot longer because

1109
00:51:08,840 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 1: NFL football is not respected globally because it's an American,

1110
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:16,560
Speaker 1: straight up American sport. Basketball is not. And so I

1111
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: just feel like as a capitalist because that's what he

1112
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 1: is he's a fucking billionaire for a reason. I think

1113
00:51:21,960 --> 00:51:24,239
Speaker 1: jay Z could have put more efforts and made the

1114
00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:28,360
Speaker 1: NBA just as great as what he's doing with the NFL.

1115
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:32,400
Speaker 3: And I still think there's an opportunity for the NBA

1116
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 3: to do the same thing. Doesn't doesn't need jay Z

1117
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 3: to do that. Okay, the amount of millionaires ballot, you

1118
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 3: can't tell me.

1119
00:51:39,160 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 5: And this is no.

1120
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:44,680
Speaker 3: I love these guys like Carmelo, d Wade, even Lebron,

1121
00:51:45,400 --> 00:51:48,560
Speaker 3: collective of group. They they bid for teams in other

1122
00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 3: other sports, right, yeah, go to go to commissioner like

1123
00:51:51,600 --> 00:51:54,240
Speaker 3: you look, man, That's that's what I'm saying.

1124
00:51:54,080 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 1: Because Tracy, what I know, Tracey McGrady and Vince Carter

1125
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,200
Speaker 1: are now part owners of the bills you have.

1126
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,359
Speaker 2: I mean J Cole has J Cole has a stake

1127
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:02,640
Speaker 2: in the.

1128
00:52:03,080 --> 00:52:08,279
Speaker 5: Short in the balcony.

1129
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 3: I mean, okay, okay, even before you even touch those guys,

1130
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:17,560
Speaker 3: there's so many you could take five randoms they got,

1131
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:20,000
Speaker 3: They got the capital, yo commission that we want to

1132
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 3: impact change in the in the halftime or even in

1133
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 3: the holiday portion of.

1134
00:52:23,600 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 2: Well, because what we've been seeing, which is crazy.

1135
00:52:25,840 --> 00:52:30,400
Speaker 1: Happen is I think they should from a capitalistic standpoint.

1136
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:30,279
Speaker 5: Two point two percent.

1137
00:52:31,040 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 1: NFL now adding the performance on halftime, it's interesting because

1138
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 1: what's been the conversation for the last three years around

1139
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,839
Speaker 1: All Star is that nobody's watching anymore. Tendance is down,

1140
00:52:42,960 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: it's not the same.

1141
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 4: And the NFL wants to do halftime a weekend All

1142
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:51,000
Speaker 4: Star weekend like that. Really, NFL is just.

1143
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:52,080
Speaker 5: We know what's happened.

1144
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:55,000
Speaker 3: I think what happened to they probably want to implement

1145
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 3: like a Pro Bowl style situation because yeah, but I

1146
00:52:58,239 --> 00:53:00,839
Speaker 3: think was killing the NBA Star Game is a slam

1147
00:53:00,920 --> 00:53:06,360
Speaker 3: dunk contest. That's because it's because and there's certain people

1148
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 3: that haven't participated that probably could have moved the needle

1149
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,719
Speaker 3: a little bit to where we are to into twenty twenty.

1150
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:15,919
Speaker 1: And let me tell you right now, the athletes ain't

1151
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 1: got to be scared of breaking nothing more. I don't

1152
00:53:18,040 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 1: know what medicine they're doing.

1153
00:53:19,040 --> 00:53:21,040
Speaker 2: But have y'all seen Jason Tatum and Damian Lillard.

1154
00:53:21,120 --> 00:53:22,120
Speaker 6: Yeah, they're walking around.

1162
00:53:40,719 --> 00:53:44,319

00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:46,360
Speaker 1: them boys is healing.

1164
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:48,239
Speaker 3: I let a coach say one time, he's like, Yo,

1278
00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 1: you know, Trump is president, but he is a celebrity and

1279
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:16,080
Speaker 1: all that shit. I do want to know your thoughts

1280
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:17,439
Speaker 1: on this because it is interesting.

1281
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,200
Speaker 6: And the Trump thing, this was before he ran to

1282
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:21,320
Speaker 6: This is part of the stuff he was.

1283
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:26,200
Speaker 1: Trump has come out on record and said I love Christmas.

1284
00:59:26,440 --> 00:59:29,400
Speaker 1: You go to stores now and it doesn't say Christmas.

1285
00:59:29,800 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: It says happy Holidays all over, and I say, where's Christmas?

1286
00:59:34,360 --> 00:59:37,200
Speaker 1: I tell my wife, don't go to those stores. I

1287
00:59:37,240 --> 00:59:41,160
Speaker 1: want to see Christmas. Other people can have their holidays,

1288
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,240
Speaker 1: but Christmas is Christmas. I want to see Merry Christmas.

1289
00:59:44,400 --> 00:59:47,800
Speaker 1: Remember the expression merry Christmas. You don't see it, You're

1290
00:59:47,800 --> 00:59:50,560
Speaker 1: going to see it if I'm elected now. I believe

1291
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:56,200
Speaker 1: this ties deep into him leaning into his Christianity values

1292
00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 1: and beliefs because a lot of things and what I

1293
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: saw growing up was them removing it and just putting

1294
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Xmas because they felt.

1295
01:00:04,160 --> 01:00:07,040
Speaker 6: Like Christ, you're.

1296
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,680
Speaker 1: Taking Christ out of it, and so growing up, a

1297
01:00:08,680 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: lot of them put Xmas before it got into this

1298
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: happy holidays bullshit. His way to include everybody who may

1299
01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:16,760
Speaker 1: not be who may not be Christian, which I think

1300
01:00:16,920 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: is valid. It's also interesting, but he said.

1301
01:00:19,600 --> 01:00:22,240
Speaker 6: This commercial holiday. Yeah, but I think it's so well by.

1302
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:26,280
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty five, this nigga's like Heaven, I ain't going there.

1303
01:00:26,600 --> 01:00:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to hell.

1304
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,959
Speaker 2: Yeah, he ain't, said a Ghastley draws part.

1305
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:38,760
Speaker 1: But he led in his literal election and his campaigning

1306
01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 1: into him being this Christian man, and now y'a out

1307
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,720
Speaker 1: here like, yeah, y'all know, I ain't even go to heaven.

1308
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: It's crazy, it's diabolical, it's nonsense for me. I'm sure

1309
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 1: Mariah Carey is still number one. We're not ever gonna

1310
01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: get Mariah carry to sing like how she used to

1311
01:00:56,080 --> 01:01:00,200
Speaker 1: sing again. But let's just get into submit. I got

1312
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:02,280
Speaker 1: some good ones because I know people ain't at work,

1313
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: they with their family, they with their children. You know,

1314
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 1: podcast views dip around this time of year any goddamn way.

1315
01:01:07,840 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: So yeah, let's go ahead and get into that and

1316
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:11,120
Speaker 1: then get up out of you so I could go

1317
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: back to sleep.

1318
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,919
Speaker 6: Some good ones here that we should do a couple

1319
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 6: of them. I I want to get your taste.

1320
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: A couple too. I just said, let's try to get

1321
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:17,400
Speaker 1: out of it.

1322
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:18,240
Speaker 6: Got you okay?

1323
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: So this one.

1324
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:24,600
Speaker 4: Am I ignorant for not changing holiday plans so my

1325
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:25,680
Speaker 4: wife can see her family?

1326
01:01:25,920 --> 01:01:29,400
Speaker 6: This is already yes, and her travel no.

1327
01:01:29,600 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 4: So my wife and I have been married for ten

1328
01:01:31,680 --> 01:01:34,520
Speaker 4: years and have two kids sixty three. We moved to

1329
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,520
Speaker 4: a new city for my wife's job before we have kids,

1330
01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:38,959
Speaker 4: so we're no longer close to our families. My parents

1331
01:01:39,040 --> 01:01:41,840
Speaker 4: also moved after they retired, so now we would have

1332
01:01:41,880 --> 01:01:44,160
Speaker 4: to fly to go see our families, so we came

1333
01:01:44,240 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 4: up with a plan to rotate holidays every other. Of course,

1334
01:01:47,360 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 4: the last couple of years we've not seen either of them.

1335
01:01:49,760 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 4: So two years ago pandemic and it was supposed to

1336
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 4: be my family's year, but we didn't travel for Christmas

1337
01:01:54,600 --> 01:01:56,160
Speaker 4: because we didn't want to travel with their youngest.

1338
01:01:56,440 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 6: Last year my wife's, but we didn't travel for pandemic.

1339
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:00,760
Speaker 1: So it's supposed to be his family.

1340
01:02:00,880 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 4: So this year, excited to see my family, we booked

1341
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 4: our flights have really been looking forward to it. My

1342
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 4: wife was on board until a few weeks ago. She

1343
01:02:08,280 --> 01:02:10,320
Speaker 4: was talking to her mom one day and the mother

1344
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,080
Speaker 4: in law mentioned that all of her wife, all of

1345
01:02:13,080 --> 01:02:15,160
Speaker 4: his wife's siblings were coming to be in one place,

1346
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:17,920
Speaker 4: and they're scattered all across the US. It's rare to

1347
01:02:17,920 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 4: to together in one place. So when she found that out,

1348
01:02:20,640 --> 01:02:23,440
Speaker 4: she felt left out and asked if they could switch

1349
01:02:23,480 --> 01:02:26,160
Speaker 4: the plans to see the family instead, even though he's

1350
01:02:26,160 --> 01:02:28,080
Speaker 4: saying plans have been established together.

1351
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:31,760
Speaker 6: So he told her no. She said he's being a

1352
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:32,360
Speaker 6: jerk about it.

1353
01:02:32,400 --> 01:02:34,840
Speaker 4: He should be more understanding of the desire to see family,

1354
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:37,920
Speaker 4: And he told her not going to change plans.

1355
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 6: But you can travel alone to go see your family.

1356
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's crazy to see the ignorant one. You

1357
01:02:44,040 --> 01:02:47,800
Speaker 1: know it's crazy the question in the subject line, No,

1358
01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 1: the question of the subject line, I would say you ignorant,

1359
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,840
Speaker 1: because I believe ignorance is when you know something is wrong,

1360
01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:57,600
Speaker 1: but you do it anyways. Right for this, I'm not

1361
01:02:57,640 --> 01:03:02,120
Speaker 1: going to hold you actually on his side, because you

1362
01:03:02,160 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: want me to travel for all the wives of your siblings,

1363
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,920
Speaker 1: like like the plans would change to go to be

1364
01:03:09,000 --> 01:03:12,240
Speaker 1: around them, just to see all the the girlfriends and wives.

1365
01:03:12,280 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: I guess that's who's traveling all going to be in

1366
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:14,760
Speaker 1: the same place.

1367
01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:17,200
Speaker 4: Right, Well, it's her family. She's also she's just being

1368
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 4: like that, they're all spread out. I think I think

1369
01:03:20,160 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 4: she's trying to use the like they're all spread out

1370
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 4: and this never happens.

1371
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:26,680
Speaker 6: So this is the one times. This is the one time.

1372
01:03:26,720 --> 01:03:30,400
Speaker 4: But when they have plans, no, no, see no no

1373
01:03:30,400 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 4: no no, I'm not great.

1374
01:03:31,880 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 1: I'm not saying I think that's I don't think he's ignorant. Then, Like,

1375
01:03:35,160 --> 01:03:35,680
Speaker 1: I'm not mad.

1376
01:03:35,760 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 2: If you really want to go and you want to

1377
01:03:37,640 --> 01:03:40,880
Speaker 2: go that bad, this is my this is my holiday.

1378
01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:45,000
Speaker 1: Like here's how here's how I I'm comparing it right

1379
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:50,080
Speaker 1: co parenting, Like when people make plans to be with

1380
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:52,640
Speaker 1: their kids on certain days and things like that. Bro,

1381
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 1: there's excitement around it, there's emotions around it, there's plans

1382
01:03:55,600 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 1: around it.

1383
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 2: And now because they just letting us know this, now

1384
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 2: we got to change our holidays.

1385
01:04:00,400 --> 01:04:03,680
Speaker 1: This is my year. This is what we've agreed to

1386
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: in this household, but all the other households.

1387
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:07,640
Speaker 5: That's a good point.

1388
01:04:07,680 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: I'm not even mad at him, honestly. And if you

1389
01:04:09,840 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: really want to go that bad, maybe you want to

1390
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:14,000
Speaker 1: go more than you want to see my family. But

1391
01:04:14,200 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 1: I've already made the commitment to my family. I'm excited

1392
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 1: to see them. It would be dead ass wrong for

1393
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:23,560
Speaker 1: me to pull out last minute, because that's impacting my

1394
01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:26,280
Speaker 1: side of the family to change plans. So no, actually,

1395
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 1: I'm glad you you continue going on because you're not

1396
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 1: ignorant for that at all.

1397
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 3: But those are things that comes up in those relationships, right,

1398
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 3: the compromise part. You know, you get to the you

1399
01:04:38,480 --> 01:04:42,240
Speaker 3: get those scenarios where you decide, Okay, I could lean

1400
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 3: over here, I could compromise of staying on my business

1401
01:04:44,560 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 3: and that's it, you know what I mean. But I

1402
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 3: think you know, yeah, that in that scenario is probably

1403
01:04:48,400 --> 01:04:51,640
Speaker 3: difficult to change plans, but you should consider pander pander

1404
01:04:51,680 --> 01:04:52,000
Speaker 3: and then.

1405
01:04:51,960 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: Be like all right, oh no, no, no, no, no,

1406
01:04:54,240 --> 01:05:00,120
Speaker 1: don't pander still but still, yeah, you go pander.

1407
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:01,960
Speaker 5: Then, But she probably don't want him to. She probably

1408
01:05:01,960 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 5: don't want to go by herself.

1409
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 4: If she Don'tyod's gonna ask what the kids, She's gonna

1410
01:05:05,040 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 4: be moping around.

1411
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: You hit the table one more goddamn time. Or he

1412
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:11,600
Speaker 1: had a point, he had a point to make.

1413
01:05:12,360 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 2: He did while we sitting here with no kids worry

1414
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 2: about that.

1415
01:05:17,040 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 6: So I got another one?

1416
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,400
Speaker 1: No kids ready? So am I ignorant?

1417
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:23,880
Speaker 6: If I take a vacation week during the holidays, even

1418
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,520
Speaker 6: though I'm just a single guy. So here's the scenario.

1419
01:05:27,120 --> 01:05:29,919
Speaker 4: So at my work, we're coming up on picking vacation times.

1420
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:32,640
Speaker 4: There's about sixty people on the shift and only four

1421
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:35,800
Speaker 4: of them can be off due to a vacation day

1422
01:05:35,880 --> 01:05:38,960
Speaker 4: on any particular day. And because of that, there's a

1423
01:05:39,080 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 4: variety of tasks that it has to leave the room

1424
01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:42,200
Speaker 4: and calls off and people have to be there. So

1425
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 4: to determine who gets off, they use a lottery system. Okay,

1426
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,000
Speaker 4: you get one sip of paper for each year you've

1427
01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 4: walked there. Okay, so seniority iractly and it goes into

1428
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:54,919
Speaker 4: a giant rotating bucket and then they pick and draw.

1429
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 4: So it's a new thing that they didn't normally do.

1430
01:05:57,760 --> 01:05:59,480
Speaker 4: But you know, it used to be just straight to

1431
01:05:59,600 --> 01:06:00,280
Speaker 4: that next there.

1432
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:00,880
Speaker 5: You should just be.

1433
01:06:00,960 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 4: If you have seniority, you got it. Now they do

1434
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 4: this system, but seniority gets a lot more. So, he says,

1435
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:10,920
Speaker 4: I neverally don't care for the holidays that much. Is

1436
01:06:10,960 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 4: my family small, we don't celebrate that much. But my

1437
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,240
Speaker 4: close childhood friend had told told me about a trip

1438
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,000
Speaker 4: that they have in the works. It'd be a big

1439
01:06:17,080 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 4: reunion for a whole group, and I decided I want

1440
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,200
Speaker 4: to go, so that would be over the holidays, so

1441
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,919
Speaker 4: I'd be taking off right after Christmas through New Year's

1442
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 4: at the same time that you say so. The problem

1443
01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 4: is senior employees are extremely pissed because he won and

1444
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:33,800
Speaker 4: he's booking it, and they feel as if their seniority

1445
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:37,280
Speaker 4: is not being respected. And this comes after all kinds

1446
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 4: of fluctionate at the company with raises and not raises,

1447
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,120
Speaker 4: so they started taking it out on him. He says,

1448
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:45,800
Speaker 4: by guilt tripping him that people with families need that

1449
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 4: week of Christmas off. So the question is is he

1450
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 4: the ignorant one if he takes a vacation on the

1451
01:06:51,560 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 4: holiday the coworkers co workers on the single guy.

1452
01:06:54,480 --> 01:06:59,640
Speaker 1: But this is coming from an individualist bitch. I don't

1453
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,120
Speaker 1: give up, but what you got planned with your motherfucker family,

1454
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,880
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about me and what plans I got. I

1455
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:09,439
Speaker 1: think they're all fucked up for guilt tripping here, because

1456
01:07:10,520 --> 01:07:13,160
Speaker 1: if y'all leaned into this lottery system, you had to

1457
01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: know that the odds were that you would get it

1458
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: or you wouldn't. Like there's only two options here, not

1459
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:23,080
Speaker 1: everyone's going to get it, and so you should have.

1460
01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 1: And when I say you, I'm talking about now the

1461
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 1: coworkers should have mentally prepared for Okay, if I don't

1462
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,000
Speaker 1: get it, I'm going to celebrate the week before, or

1463
01:07:31,240 --> 01:07:33,560
Speaker 1: I'll find another time to celebrate for you. The guilt

1464
01:07:33,600 --> 01:07:35,360
Speaker 1: trip a nigga because he's single and chose to live

1465
01:07:35,440 --> 01:07:38,240
Speaker 1: the smart way of life, Like does it make sense

1466
01:07:38,360 --> 01:07:43,000
Speaker 1: for for why they're mad? Like why you mad?

1467
01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 6: You can't get in the system or don't that's it.

1468
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: But when it when it doesn't work in your favor,

1469
01:07:49,640 --> 01:07:54,240
Speaker 1: you can't now blame somebody for you not getting what

1470
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: you want when you literally went into the system knowing

1471
01:07:56,520 --> 01:07:57,200
Speaker 1: what the chances were.

1472
01:07:57,600 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 4: What you do at home is what you do at home,

1473
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 4: whether you have kids, to smoke crack, it's the thing

1474
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 4: you want to do on your leisure. Wait what I'm

1475
01:08:03,960 --> 01:08:05,520
Speaker 4: just saying, it's the thing you want to do on

1476
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:06,040
Speaker 4: your leisure.

1477
01:08:06,560 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 1: So well, no, y'all saw that video of the white

1478
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 1: girl who said she was smoking crack while she was

1479
01:08:11,240 --> 01:08:16,000
Speaker 1: a dental assistant. She's ill on TikTok, so that's crazy.

1480
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:21,080
Speaker 1: She said she was going into the goddamn dentist office, smoking,

1481
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:24,679
Speaker 1: cracking and working in people's mouth while she was high, insane.

1482
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:26,479
Speaker 1: Bro White people get away with anything.

1483
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 6: That was a crazy part, she said. She never got caught.

1484
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 1: No, no, no, But even though you admitted it. Now, bitch,

1485
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,720
Speaker 1: if I knew I went to that doctor's office that

1486
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: you worked at, I'm following the laws. Was a good dentist,

1487
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, but she was.

1488
01:08:42,160 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 6: She was a full blown cracker. I don't think she

1489
01:08:44,040 --> 01:08:44,639
Speaker 6: does that anymore.

1490
01:08:44,800 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: I don't care if you.

1491
01:08:46,720 --> 01:08:49,240
Speaker 5: Did do that part in the car in parking line somewhere,

1492
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:50,960
Speaker 5: she would, she she would.

1493
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: You know, And she said in the bathroom, in the bathroom.

1494
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:56,400
Speaker 2: But apparently peoples in the comments like crack gotta smell.

1495
01:08:56,479 --> 01:08:59,920
Speaker 1: Now, I ain't even I was about I never smell craft.

1496
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: But maybe they just she was white. Maybe they just

1497
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: thought she wasn't watching her legs because you know, they

1498
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:06,760
Speaker 1: don't wash all parts of their body. Maybe it's just

1499
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: thought plastic, you know what I mean. And little burt

1500
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:11,920
Speaker 1: plastic smell like when you get braids in your hair

Speaker 1: and burn the INDs. That's Burke plastic too. It don't

1502
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:14,920
