Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to guys a podcast about guys. I expected that to go on a lot longer. Guys, a podcast about guys. I expected that to go on a lot longer. That was like that was the big thing that you sort of had to make. Oh, OK, you got a few other ones on the soundboard. Don't use them all right in the beginning. You want to sort of you want to sort of, you know what I mean? If you just now everyone's heard them. All right. What are you waiting
Starting point is 00:00:45 for Christmas so you just looked up Christmas sound with me is Krampus himself Chris James hi Chris yeah Krampus I I don't know is I don't remember what that's like one of the that's like the bad guy, the bad version. He kidnaps people in their sleep, I think. Oh, okay. So hey, hopefully you're into in real life. Oh, yes. As the guy who was supposed to guard the doors at Chuck E Cheese and make sure kids weren't getting kidnapped and yet would be constantly not paying attention. Well, I was playing a basketball game with, we got to get our guests on the show. We have from the E one podcast. We got Branson. Hi Branson. What up? Happy to be here with the
Starting point is 00:01:32 two headed snake. That's what we're calling ourselves now. I've heard a lot of people call you guys that. And I said, Hey, I'm going on the guys podcast. You said you're going to, you're going to go face to face with the two headed snake. All right. So we made the mistake of, I guess Brian said that sort of sort of I mean Brian said that not really that's not a mistake He wasn't paying attention He was doing the thing where he was sort of like reading and he sort of was saying something brainlessly and he's like Oh, yeah
Starting point is 00:01:54 That's what they call us the two-headed snake because Branson said he was looking at a photo of one and now Now that's not what happened at all at all. That's not what happened at all. That's not what happened at all. I very naturally in the world heard people refer to you guys as the two-headed snake. That's what happened. I'm not going to come on here and just start lying. To your fans, I respect your fans too much. Wow, it's a really weird thing to laugh so hard at. Wow, because we're here for the Christmas Guys episode, which is a little different from a regular guys episode, because
Starting point is 00:02:34 we look at how our guys celebrate Christmas. We're gonna start with a little bit of Chives. Some of the Chive. How does the Chive celebrate Christmas? Branson, what do you, are you, when was the last time you went to the website, the Chive, to have a laugh? I have not gone to the Chive in a bit, but about once every six months I check in on FARC.com and I see how those guys are doing. And, you know, I feel like FARC was kind of the proto-Chive. I think the guys on Fark looked down on the chivers. So you think, did Fark come first? Yes. Okay, so Fark, you're saying so people who maybe.
Starting point is 00:03:10 Drew Curtis's, let me clarify, DrewCurtis'sfark.com, not any of the other Farks. Thank you for clarifying. And you're saying that basically the chive people are people who maybe couldn't cut the mustard at Fark.com and they, well, this is what Branson's saying, and that cut the mustard at Fark.com and they... Well, this is what Branson's saying and that now the people at Fark.com are kind of like, oh yeah, you couldn't make it here. You're like a lesser, minor leagues kind of.
Starting point is 00:03:34 I'm sure that the guys from Fark think that the guys from Chive couldn't cut it there and the guys from Chive think that the guys from Fark couldn't cut it there. Okay, so it's a rise story. That's, well I wouldn't say it's a, well, you know, I'm gonna push, let's push. I'm gonna push on that question. Okay. So this is from November 25th, 2024 by Zack. He wrote a good article that it's gonna be really helpful for people who are getting into Christmas spirit this Christmas Eve, because I think this comes out on Christmas Eve.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Criminally underrated Christmas movies that deserve better. OK, good. Yeah, because we've all got the ones we watch every Christmas. But Branson, what are yours? I mean, I'm going with Christmas story, obviously, when he gets his tongue stuck. Yeah, because he's sucking someone off. I'm going gonna go with the God, what was the name? It's last Christmas. My wife makes me watch it. It's got a God damn it. I'm looking it up now and apparently it's not called last Christmas. Is it this Christmas?
Starting point is 00:04:37 Hmm. So this is one of your favorites? Yes, yeah Chris Brown's in it and Chris Brown and my wife likes it and she makes me watch This Christmas every year. It's got Idris Elba in it. It's a great like, oh, and he's like a, I'm like a rough around the edge as jazz musician that gets beat up and my family has to come save me. And then it's got every cliche, like the older sister whose husband is cheating on her. But guess what? They all come together at Christmas and do the right thing.
Starting point is 00:05:05 And the guy that's cheating gets his car gets drove into the river. Idris Elba gets beat up, but the nice stepdad pays it off. And now he's welcome to the family because he saved Idris. Do you like this movie? It's fine. But you're watching it as like sort of like a dutiful kind of thing. Oh, a hundred percent. Very dutiful. I'm watching it. I'm like a dutiful kind of thing. Oh, 100%. Very dutiful.
Starting point is 00:05:26 I'm watching it. I'm not looking at my phone. I'm staying. The dutiful abides. The dutiful abides. But what kind of people are watching Christmas movies and going like, fuck yeah. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:39 Big time. I don't watch them at all. I'm like, you guys can watch that shit without me. And they watch the shit without me. I do something else. What do you do? What do you? What would you be doing? Cool stuff? Are you doing? Yeah? What kind of cool shit? Are you up to while they're watching? I'll be in my garage. I think you know what kind of cool shit. I'm up to is it have anything to do with that Lego town? Oh, yeah. Everything to do with that. Yes. I listen to podcasts, to Legos. That's pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:06:08 But I think people might be interested in this end of the year here. What podcasts are you listening to, Brian? Let's get a list of Brian. I mean, this is one of one head of the two headed snake of podcasting. Let's see what he is into. Guys, a podcast about your own podcast. You listen to our show also guys plus I know I've I edit the show and I've never listened to it
Starting point is 00:06:30 So me somebody told me once you should like listen to it and take notes of your own I was like this I don't really rather fucking die. Did somebody did someone really tell you that and they yeah Were they doing a joke of some what they're saying? Oh was still a lot of stand-up comics record their own set and then they'll record it and do the I'm like, I'm not it's an hour long. They'd go for five fucking minutes. It's easy to do that shit Yeah, and your and and the purpose of doing that as a stand-up comedian I'm not allowed to mention but some people Would have experience of this is that you do that because you're gonna repeat the same jokes over and over again
Starting point is 00:07:03 So you want to like see if you could do something better or what part of the crowd, I never did it, I hated it, or some people never did it. But yeah, in the podcasting, you're not gonna repeat the same stories and stuff. Oh yes, you are. Well, that's true. If you're on the guys podcast and your name's Chris,
Starting point is 00:07:18 then you will repeat the same shit over and over again to the point where people get extremely mad. I've had to explain eating coins and sand on about four different podcasts I don't know why it comes up every time. I'm a guest Mostly wrestling podcast so it's not interesting So here's the article I'm about to be real honest some of y'all out there Basic as fuck when it comes here watching holiday movies. Fuck. Just low effort. No depth. Miracle on 34th street. Watch an ass. Get up that. I would like to
Starting point is 00:07:52 report this. I see myself in this post. I would like to report this please. Oh no. Remove that Christmas with the cranks DVD from the console and broaden your horizons a bit. I've decided to put an end to the slander once and for all. Here are five of the most underrated Christmas movies of all time. Only five first one Vince Vaughn or Reese Witherspoon's for Christmases. Never heard of that. Oh, bold suggestion to say it's underrated. Well, you think it's, you think it's rated fairly Well, you think it's rated fairly? The sequel Five Christmases was better. I only like One Christmas because I love Jesus.
Starting point is 00:08:33 One Christmas, that's a good movie. It's real short. Put some respect on Vince Vaughn's name. What's that? You don't like Vince Vaughn? Fine then. Stay for the star-studded ensemble including Dw Dwight Yocum Reese Witherspoon, Kristin Chenoweth, Robert Duvall, John Favreau, Tim McGraw, John Voight, Mary Steenburgen and sissy Spakesick just a name of Spakesick. Sissy Spakesick. Sissy Spakesick. The writing alone should put this movie at the top of the Christmas comedy list
Starting point is 00:09:05 The casting is phenomenal and the film perfectly encapsulate what it's like spending the holidays Which each and every member of your family rotten tomatoes can go kick rocks with their 25% rating. Oh my god That's extremely low rating for a film with that type of a star power, you know Just another reason to take their scores with an entire block of salt to the face. Oh, that's a funny one. Get their ass! Yeah, no, well, but listen. How dare you? You can totally, I'm not gonna say it again,
Starting point is 00:09:33 but you can totally, the critics, that's accurate. It's the audience score you gotta worry about, but this is an older film, so it has an accurate audience score, because this is from 2008, and the audience score is also below 50% So it's also rotten. It's 47% audience as well Mm-hmm. He loves her. She loves him not we're now looking at just friends starring Ryan Reynolds and Amy Spart with Anna Ferris and Chris Klein in it. This is presumably a straight man, right?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Yeah, he's hitting us over. He's going all rom-coms on his underrated Christmas ones. Oh, I think he's saving some good ones for the end. Oh don't worry Branson, he's got a couple for daddy. I'm worried! He's got a couple for daddy at the end. I'm worried! Don't worry, I remember this one. This is the one where Ryan Reynolds is in a fat suit.
Starting point is 00:10:21 Yes! Oh yeah! Yeah, that's a good movie! Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is the one where Ryan Reynolds is in a fat suit. Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that's a good movie. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is one where Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit. I remember this one. And he's like, but he's still underneath the fat suit. He's still got that quirky smile that we've all grown to love.
Starting point is 00:10:34 And so he still is kind of, he's got leading man qualities. Well, here's what, here's what Zach has to say. Anyone who tells you the friend zone isn't real has never seen this movie Here we go. Yeah, people are always telling me that I'm always talking about the friend zone to be I mean, I'm obviously I mean I'm married and I have a child Even though I'm married I'm very my friends that are single often talk about the friend zone and I think more needs to be said about it.
Starting point is 00:11:06 I think honestly, well, and some of them are trying to tell me it doesn't exist and it's like, Oh, that can't be accurate. That's got, it has to exist. How have I been hearing so much about it? If it doesn't exist, you know, Brian, of course you've been married for a very long time. Do you think you ever found yourself in the friend zone when you were younger? Like I think I found myself in the two chicken shit to ask a girl out zone. I got anything. You think that in your mind had you just done it? It was a for sure. Yes. Well you saw the pictures of me.
Starting point is 00:11:41 You were you were a handsome guy. But it was pretty if you're like you're talking about the Kweeber. It doesn't matter what you look like. Kweeber era you were you were handsome and out. You know like when you were a kid before you hit Kweeber era you were like a cute kid probably like you know you. But you I feel like the stories that I hear about you it sort of makes it seem like maybe you weren't like as desirable due to the three-hour boob sucking and I just mean who would want who would want to like people are gonna be worried about that I think. Nobody knew about that unless they were talking behind my back.
Starting point is 00:12:16 Brian, Brian you think that the girl. He sucked on boobs for three hours? Yeah that's what he used to do all the time Brenton. Why? Do you think the girl that he you did that to Brian You think she didn't tell her friends about the time when I'm sorry You're gonna hurt and we ber came over and refused to do anything except sucker boobs for three hours I'm sure she told that story. It's like the whole Godfather movie We were talking when I think I said
Starting point is 00:12:42 long yeah, I'll say this I Never pictured her having friends until just now other than me. Oh I see Anybody you never pictured the fact that she would need to share that with somebody did this bizarre She's got to tell her doctor why they're all hurting all She'd have to tell her doctor why they're all hurting all the Three damn hours come on man Chris keeps up in the time. I think it was like 90 minutes or so Pull the tapes on it. I think you said three hours, but well it probably was three hours over the day
Starting point is 00:13:22 You know what I mean like we we'd skip school, we'd go, we'd make out. It doesn't make it better. You're saying you can't. Alright, getting back in for hour three. Getting back in. Alright, let's get to the stairwell. I got a good 30 minutes. The worst part about it really, and I hate talking about this. What's the milk mustache? The worst part about it was the the thing where I had seen pornography Oh congrats and and like softcore pornography so I knew that like in softcore porn you would kiss down the woman's stomach and then I didn't know what came
Starting point is 00:13:57 after that so I would just do that and then go right back up to the titties like I wouldn't even get all the way down there I would get to like the underwear line and then turn around and go back up You feel like I guess it's the roads closed or whatever I guess I gotta find Multiple women Talking about the guilty feels of like his sexual encounters with women but it's because he didn't go down on them or do anything. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I hear anyone who tells you the friends advantage. You're not doing what you're doing. Even if you would do the right thing you'd fuck it up. It doesn't matter what you do. Everybody's just goofing
Starting point is 00:14:43 off. I agree. It was just horseplay. It's a lot of goofing off. With Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, and Anna Faris at the helm, this should be one of the heaviest-hitting Christmas films for some reason. It just gets no love. And aside from scary movie, this is easily Faris' best performance. For anyone who has ever gone back to their hometown for Christmas and reconnected with the one who got away,
Starting point is 00:15:04 movie critics shit all over this film proving once again that critics are critics Yeah, should be killed it is about reconnecting. It's about the one that got away. It's about the friend zone and A fat suit it's about fat suit is he playing himself in the fat suit or is he playing a different character? Who's he's playing overweight Ryan Reynolds overweight Like probably and it's not as good as if it's just like the regular Ryan Reynolds character has like a twin brother That's Ryan Reynolds in a fat suit. That's my favorite thing in movies period. Oh when there's a second version. No, it's just yeah It's just oh, yeah I really other than Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers,
Starting point is 00:15:46 you really don't have a lot of those guys who are willing to play 13, 14 roles per movie. Yeah, it was really something that existed for a short period of time where we're like, this is the best thing that you can do in a movie, hands down, guaranteed box office gold. But for whatever reason, I think we soured on it as a society very quickly And I don't know I think you could write a whole thing about that what happened with that woke
Starting point is 00:16:11 The next one is jingle all the way with Arnold Schwarzenegger. Oh, I've seen that one This is one from my childhood that I did with Phil Hartman Yeah, and sin bad sin bad is fucking hilarious Phil Hartman is hilarious this one I mean it might be a bad movie But this one does have a place in my heart because I watched it a bunch when I was a kid and loved it for sure Well, let's put all of our cards on the table here Nobody goes to see this Schwarzenegger movie to watch his incredible acting They go because he can't turn off his Austrian accent and he's insanely jacked human being playing a suburban dad who struggles to keep his
Starting point is 00:16:43 Relationship with his son and wife afloat The premise alone is worth the price of admission throwing Sinbad Phil Hartman and Jim Belushi as Arnold's enemies sign me up one of these things is not like the other I agree Jim Belushi Don't try to who invited Belushi to the party Guy that's a Belushi fan is really something. Yeah, I mean, Jim Belushi is not jingle all the way needs more Belushi. Yeah, I mean, if you if someone's saying, hey, this needs more Belushi, you know, they they don't mean Jim. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:17:17 That's just that's the unfortunate facts there. Yeah, the fact that Rotten Tomatoes gives this a 20% is even more reason to watch it. This one goes out to every parent who's searching for that perfect Christmas gift for their kid. 11 out of 10. So this guy's writing somewhere between like he's Maddox and like a marketing copywriter. Like I don't know what year was this written in? Because this has fucking... This year, two weeks ago.
Starting point is 00:17:42 This has fucking... This stinks of 2007. And like I'm getting like this guy is 100 percent 44. Well, 100 percent. So you've got it now. So you have been on the drive. So like you're saying, you're telling me, because, yeah, everybody writes like it's 2007 and each person on there is 44 years old I I don't know how you can know like literally everything about it and claim that you've never been to the way
Starting point is 00:18:11 I know it exactly I have been like what would like I don't get linked anything from the chive, you know It's okay. So maybe maybe let's let's let's take a look at your fucking friends and Branson Maybe take a look at who you're hanging out with honestly Take a look at your fucking friends and Branson. Maybe take a look at who you're hanging out with honestly, I've Funny pictures photos. Oh man hot wow don't forget about hotness. Oh, it's mostly boobs. Yep Okay The next movie is nuts 1998 diehard or name 1988 diehard far hang on a second here is this a list of Christmas movies, correct?
Starting point is 00:18:52 That's what he said Hang on a second. I don't know about this one. I'm I'm I'm not sure about this one It's a little while everybody goes. I'm happy to put this debate to rest The film takes place on Christmas Eve at the Nakatomi Plaza, how office holiday party. Yes. Die hard as a Christmas movie. And it's a damn good one at that. Die hard really does a great job of embodying the true meaning of Christmas,
Starting point is 00:19:18 spending time with family and good defeating evil. Uh, and then for all your Christmas sweater party needs this season shop the ho ho ho. I have a machine gun sweatshirt here at the chivalry. Oh, that's cool. So he's giving links to the chivalry that one had a link to the chivalry that one's promoting someone else's merch. No, not something.
Starting point is 00:19:40 Well, I mean the website he's on the chivalry is the merch shop for the chive, which is why, as everyone probably knows by now, definitely. That's the reason why we named our merch shop the guys are. So we have the guys and it is directly. Somebody asked, is this a reference? I saw someone reply to you on blue sky, Brian saying, is this? I think they were joking. Is this a reference to the chivalry? Yeah.remlins just more proof that everything was better in the 80s an incredible
Starting point is 00:20:11 Christmas classic that doesn't feel the need to explain itself gizmo just shows up as a gift and everything will be fine if Billy followed the three simple rules obviously that doesn't happen this dark comedy is perfect Christmas movie if you need something to laugh at this season. And honestly, who doesn't? I do. I love this movie as well though, growing up when I was a child, like when I was an actual child,
Starting point is 00:20:35 this was one of those movies that I watched over and over again. I don't know how I would feel about it as an adult, but it's good. I watched it a few years ago, but I don't wanna say it's good because, you know, obviously Branson, have you, have you seen that movie? Yeah. The gremlin lady gremlin stuck with me at a very young age. You're horny, you're horny for the, I don't know. Cause I was so young and that I don't think I was just thinking like, I
Starting point is 00:20:57 got to pay attention to this. Like, you know, this is important. You know, you saw there was some cultural significance perhaps. Yeah. I didn't hit puberty. I don't think I think the reason why I'm so tall is I didn't hit puberty till I was like 16. So when I first watched the gremlins, you know, with the truly child ish wonderment going, what is this? Is this bikini gremlin? Is this supposed to be indicative of something I'm supposed to understand about women? Yeah, I watched it like five years ago with my daughter and she got scared actually Maybe six or seven actually. Yeah, give her a little credit She she would have been a little too old to be scared. Well, they're a little wet
Starting point is 00:21:37 You don't see anything in children's media. That's nearly as wet as gremlins. Yeah. Well the funny thing about gremlins is It's gooey, it's fleshy, it's like- Yeah, you're right. It does have that disgusting, like, gooeyness to it in that movie. That bar scene. Yeah, yeah. The gremlins get everywhere, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:55 And I love the scene at the end where there's just a gremlin waving a gun around. Like, it's so good for a kids' movie to have, like, a gremlin smoking and a gremlin waving around a gun here. Fundamentally, what is a gremlin? It's a small version of one of the three stooges. And so so really what happens is there's this ancient creature that if you get if you feed it food wrong, you create hundred little comedic foils. Yeah. Well, let's go to our studies. I just want to say Gremlins is a well rated movie. It was the only one on. Oh, I guess Die Hard is as well, probably. But yeah, so that's
Starting point is 00:22:34 a frigging Christmas movie. That one he changed it up at the end. He went with like movies that he's like that. I guess they're controversial because some people say they aren't Christmas because he kind of changed it up. He's like three movies that are really big flops and then two super popular famous movies Yeah, well I had it to settle the die-hard Christmas movie debate I think he picked two movies and then he picked the last three Christmas movies. He saw yes, okay Sounds right. Yeah. Well, let's go to the pasta farianism subreddit to find out, Hey, I'm new to pasta far in ism. How should I celebrate the holiday season? This guy goes, I've joined pasta far in ism today.
Starting point is 00:23:12 I'm pretty much right at the start of the holiday season and I've read the section of the gospel of the flying spaghetti monster in regards to holidays, but it doesn't specifically say what we should do for the holiday season. So I'm curious if there's anything I can do to celebrate his great noodliness. So sorry, man. No, you picked the fucking sarcastic religion. You pick the sarcastic one. You don't get to have fun at the holidays. That's one of the things. I'm sorry. We don't. You picked us smarter than everyone. Yeah, you don't have to be religious. I'm not religious. I still get to have fun at the holidays because I'm just not a big dickhead about it to everybody. You know, that's one of the good things you get and
Starting point is 00:23:47 you don't get to as for Branson, you don't know this probably, but on every single guys plus the bonus episodes we read the, they have a holiday every day. It's one of their gags. You know, let me tell you, so I thought I'd give that away for free. this. Oh wow. Wow everybody. Wow. December 24th is orgies for World Peace Day. So that some of them are funny brands and as you can hear some of them aren't though. Yeah. Yeah. December 25th celebrate the birth of Isaac Newton. Oh you get it. That's fun. Do I get it? Because he did gravity or whatever? Yeah, it's like, I guess, well, I guess I guess I guess I guess I know he's got a constant. I know who Newton is. Yeah, they're basically saying, hey, celebrate
Starting point is 00:24:36 a science person instead of a religious person, because that's what we should be doing. Not some big guy up in the fucking sky made up book. And let's eat the freaking spaghetti. Maybe if Jesus got out a fucking Bunsen burner, maybe I'd fucking worship him. I love this, it's like I am going to be the sarcastic religion, but I'm fundamentally missing out
Starting point is 00:24:59 on the traditions and communal experience, so hey, what can we do? It's like joining Baha'i and being like, guys, can we narrow it down a little bit? Can we get a few, can we just get rid of some of these saints? Yeah, it really is a great, you don't hear it very often.
Starting point is 00:25:14 It's one of the most honest pastafarian posts I've ever seen where it's like, okay, yeah, I'm having fun, like owning all these fucking idiots and stuff. And it's like, can I still sort of like get presents and have a turkey dinner with my family? I really miss them and love them a lot. Yeah. And it's like, can I still sort of like get presents and have a turkey dinner with my family? I really miss them and love them a lot. Yeah, and it's buddy, what you want is to be agnostic
Starting point is 00:25:31 and not think about it and celebrate all the good stuff and don't do any of the hard stuff like most people do. There's already a thing for that. Yeah, I love doing what I do. It's what I do, yeah, it's what I do. Yeah, I don't know. I don't care about that at all. I don't have to read nothing about I don't have to read nothing
Starting point is 00:25:45 I don't have to yeah, I can't even I mentioned it many times. I can't read it. Oh Well, we're gonna look at some book reviews later that I think are gonna be really good Gorge on all pasta and pasta adjacent foods beer and alcohol you want maybe go to a strip club. Just kidding This is really say it's like Fucking shape and they're like drink a bunch of pasta eat a bunch of pasta and drink beer Well that you have to do that though you have to do pirate stuff and pasta stuff and that's a stripper stuff Well stripper stuff I think he kind of threw in there cuz I go have fun like have a fun night or whatever. Sorry, brother. Sorry
Starting point is 00:26:23 Just throw in there because I go have fun like have a fun night or whatever. Every brother. Sorry. Heaven has a stripper fact. Oh, that's true. I forgot there. Heaven does have a stripper factory. Oh, cool. You get it. Let's get demystify religion and commodify women at the same time. Just kidding. Although, if you want to do those things, no one's stopping you.
Starting point is 00:26:44 In my opinion, the absolute best way to celebrate the holidays in honor of his noodling, this is to not be addicted to people and enjoy the season. His noodling this cares more about a general attitude of not being a dick over specific rituals. OP responds and goes, thank you ramen. So he's it, but raw men is what they say and said, amen. But, but what's the point of having a fake religion if you just have to do all of the shit that a real religion does. I don't get it. It's not sarcastic. You don't understand. So you do not, that's strange that you don't understand satire,
Starting point is 00:27:21 but basically what you have to understand Branson is that living satire? I guess you what what you what you're not remembering Is that at some point? There was people who were wearing You know headdresses or what like? Berka Berka wearing burkas in their in their driver's license photos and But yet we're not allowed to wear a colander on our head. See, that's what you're not understanding.
Starting point is 00:27:49 And then imagine if that happened and then you based your entire life around that. That's suddenly bad to you. Like 20 years. Fundamentally annoying to prove a vague point that no one's really interested in defending. And that nobody, even at the time, 25 years ago, when it was a thing it was
Starting point is 00:28:05 even but most people now have long forgotten about it and now just see you as a completely insane person showing up to the DMV with a colander on their head which by the way they still do regularly to this day and they tell stories about it and making people who don't believe in God look like fucking idiots I I know. I know. There's no fucking word. Every non believing in. That's why nobody wants to say they're an atheist. Like I would. I am an atheist. For sure. I am. Oh, I mean, like I don't have any doubt in my mind. And even if I did have doubt or think that there was a God,
Starting point is 00:28:40 I would honestly not give a shit. Like, who cares? It doesn't affect my day to day if there's a god, right? but like all the people on The atheist side are the most annoying people in the world Their Gervais brain everyone who's Gervais brain if you say atheist you think Gervais and you don't want to be Gervais you tell Astafarians are to this other side of Gervais. They're like almost more annoying than Ricky Gervais.
Starting point is 00:29:11 You are doing the stuff because they're trying to do jokes. They're trying to do Ricky Gervais jokes. I call this debate a comedy debate between the top pastafarian and Ricky Gervais would fucking break the internet Straight up. Sorry. Well, we're not done here A big feast like I said like said in the gospel mostly a pasta with any sauce and meatballs You can use supplementary meat instead You should you should wear a tire that you wear when praying
Starting point is 00:29:42 Pirate uniform and play pirate themed games and movies Decorations will be a nice touch think of trees topped with the flying spaghetti monster and other flying Spaghetti monster themed items struck about the place like spaghetti monster also likes for you to give back to community spreading good cheer I hope that helps my saucy brother I I just imagined this person the guy who's replying there with the suggestions is not a pacifier and It's some sort of person who has some sort of God thing where they're trying to like, you know They're trying to manipulate this person's life and make them do the most bizarre things He's like try to put his noodley appendages on a tree and they're like, let's see what the fucking idiot comes up with for that
Starting point is 00:30:20 Do you guys I wish I could there there are times in my life where I've like thought like I wish I could almost Transfer my consciousness now Back to myself at other times of my life like maybe when I'm on I want to you what you you're telling me you'd want to create some sort of Bribor right If I could go back and maybe suck titties for like six minutes and then have sex I might even do that if I was able to. Right.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Okay. So a lot of your this is really just sort of comes back to the regret that you're feeling about sucking. It's a lot of adolescent sexual regret. But I will say this. I would like to transfer back to the first time I ever heard of the flying spaghetti monster and know if I laughed at it and thought it was like that is I because who knows who
Starting point is 00:31:14 really fucking knows, you know, I wasn't a comedian. I wasn't like a creator or anything like that. And I can guarantee I probably heard flying spaghetti monster. There's no way I liked it, but I think it could because it does sound like something, you know, when I was wearing a Derby hat because that's a gentleman's hat that I could see myself being like, Oh, I really, I, that flying spaghetti monster is really funny. I have multiple family members who wear Derby hats. I can't say anything bad about derby hats. So I don't know.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Oh, my monster says, "'Pastafarian' celebrate holiday. It's sometime between December 12th and January 12th or whatever. If you like trees, do a tree. If you like presents, have presents. If you like lights, have lights. It's whatever you wanna do.
Starting point is 00:31:59 If you just wanna sit around and complain, that's a viable option too. We're really not a prescriptive religion." Other than all this shit they're saying to do. This is how religions get started. This guy goes. We're doing Turkey and all the fixings, but there will be a ceremonial bowl of pasta at the head of the table, which presides over the festivities. We will make offerings to it as the dishes are passed. So they're, they're going to make their family do stuff that I think is the most evil possible. I think if you are like a 12 year old coming of age and you get to the point where you
Starting point is 00:32:34 start realizing that your parents are just people, you know, you have this idea of them as being this looming authority figure and you never really conceptualize them as people. I think there will be a lot of 13 yearyear-olds when their dad does some sort of head of the table flying spaghetti monster reference that are immediately going to like achieve sentience and go like, my dad is just a fucking dumb guy. I have to stop taking him so seriously. Immediately just like a 11-year-old kid going,
Starting point is 00:33:04 I'm better than my father. This ain't it. This ain't it. He don't, he's missing something. Yeah, he does it. Listen, I don't know the whole story, but I know he doesn't. Mom won't even look at him. When he does it, mom won't even look in his direction.
Starting point is 00:33:17 She pretends to go clean something in the sink for five minutes till he's done. What's going on? He's got a colander on his head. Like he's the only one at the table with the colander on his head. Also, my family, my family has like seven people dementia. How do you fucking explain that to any of them?
Starting point is 00:33:34 How do you explain? I mean, if a guy is you can't make your family do this, you can't make your family do positive. Just fucking be normal around Christmas It's listen or don't go or don't go like you know to me I'm like if you're gonna act that way excuse yourself and go be alone and do that weird shit Let them have their normal fun Christmas. I gotta go in the basement be weird for a second This let this person go celebrate however the fuck you want personally
Starting point is 00:34:03 I'm into the theory that many Christmas traditions Came about because someone was on mushrooms. Oh, that's one of the fucking coolest theories I've ever like no honestly. I have a feeling like a lot of this shit They've come up with their smoking out some crazy shit You ever think of the Bible exactly and just like it's like the big bang It's like what was fucking God smoking in the first place. You know what I mean? Freaking nut dude. Let's go to uh Let's go take a look at our slash. Yeah, we're gonna take big giant socks and hang them up by the fireplace
Starting point is 00:34:42 Yeah, okay, buddy. Why don't you take another fucking bong hood of your fucking mushroom weed? I wish you would go film yourself doing jokes like this at an open mic or something to see if people laugh. I know. Yeah. I'm sure people will go nuts for it. I mean I don't mind humiliating myself. I would go to open mic because they're all craft character and do you know eight to ten minutes of dead silence Okay, so this is only one post on r slash cruise but I really like it because it ends with an edit which which I Love when a post so this guy goes to r slash cruise
Starting point is 00:35:21 I can't like he edits it cuz he gets influenced like people change his mind I do love that too. I love that too. Yeah What is it? It's cruise cruises. This is this is cruises. Yeah, yeah, not cruising which I'm sure we will get to but cruises Well, we're gonna talk about some foot guys. So anyway, he goes I hate cruising. I hate feeling like cattle I hate the lines. I hate the faux festivity My very elderly mother and elderly ish brother want to take a Christmas cruise in 2025 nothing says quote Christmas like being in the open ocean with 4,000 strangers slash s for sarcasm to me. That's not Christmas
Starting point is 00:36:03 That's a vacation that occurs over Christmas mother's mobility issues preclude excursions which means someone always needs to stay on the boat with her when in port so sell me can you fucking imagine going like she this person goes to the place where the people fucking love this thing talks just crazy shit like goes nuts on them and calls them like dumbasses, which they are. I mean, that's I'm not saying that Cruz guys aren't, you know, dipshits or whatever, but then it's like, sell me on that. He's an elderly baby boy. He's an elderly baby boy too with his mom. And I, so I do love, I love when somebody is, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:46 you know, So he's got, he's got an elderly brother? Yeah. He has an elderly brother. So are you elderly? So how old are you, bud? That's really the crux of this thing here. Cause if you're like 62 and you're like, I'm not elderly. It's like, if you want a better adult Christmas,
Starting point is 00:37:02 have a family. Yeah. Oh yeah. That's the, that is want a better adult Christmas, have a family. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That is the harsh reality of it. When you get older like that, if you want to continue for it to be fun, you cannot be going with the older members of the family. You have to create younger ones. I'm 62 going,
Starting point is 00:37:19 I'm not having fun this Christmas. Mommy, I have to stay with Mommy while everyone gets to go off on an excursion and have fun. Yeah, he's a little baby boy, but he's 60 years old. Some of my favorite type of people in the world, honestly. Oh God. I lived in Margate, New Jersey, and there's a lot of 45-year-old retired guys here that are the dumbest. It's like the if you're like a family of like four, like four kids,
Starting point is 00:37:48 whoever the least successful, dumbest, rich kid is, will usually just like wind up in one of these coastal towns like and they work like five hours a week as a real estate agent. But really, they're just going around partying and drinking and being adult babies. Lots of those guys. And living at home and you get in, and of course you're waiting it out, of course when you're waiting it out
Starting point is 00:38:11 for your parents to pass away so you can live in the house on your own like an adult. But sometimes it doesn't work out like you want it. You just think about it. Imagine your parents, they're 25 years older than you and they live to like 100, and now you're 74 years old and you live at home I gotta move out
Starting point is 00:38:28 Yeah, you're talking your friends like fuck, but they won't fucking I gotta move out like can I like stay at your place for a bit? Trying to find a roommate my mom goes to bed at like six My mom goes to bed at like six. So this person says, so sell me. And then edit came back after some, some feedback, I think on our posts. I love my family. If my mother asked to spend Christmas at a budget eight and podunk, I do it. I'm not an immature child who'd pout and ruin the experience. Yeah, that's, I mean, that is a good point.
Starting point is 00:39:06 It's like, it sounds like you don't have a great relationship with your mother. It's like, yeah, because maybe again, if you had the family and this was a thing where you have your own things in your life that you're getting that fulfillment from, and then you can just kind of say, Hey, you know what? I can take some time to make my mother's Christmas who gave me life and all that. I can just give myself to her, you know, and not it. I don't give a fuck if an adult has a good Christmas. It doesn't. That's for fucking kids. It doesn't. If my Christmas sucks. Who fucking cares? You're an adult you're gonna have 200 more who cares? The only thing that makes me upset and it makes me sad and I'll say this is like one thing is like an adult can have a
Starting point is 00:39:41 bad Christmas if they have kids and they don't have money to buy gifts and the kids have a bad Christmas that is like one thing is like an adult can have a bad Christmas if they have kids and they don't have money to buy gifts and the kids have a bad Christmas. That is like a horrifying, horrible shit, but that's like a different thing than what you're talking about. Of course, Pratt said you're talking about the adult in that situation, being the kid that's mad that they didn't get the gifts. Yeah. An adult without kids just being like my Christmas. So yeah. Also being mad about, but also it's just like, if your mom is elderly and you really care, right?
Starting point is 00:40:09 And everybody in the family is like we want to go on a cruise. Look, I don't want to go on a cruise, but there are certainly worse places than cruises to end up. You know what I mean? Like I think I could figure out if I got on one of those big stupid floating malls I could figure out how to have fun yeah it's like she's not asking you to go to some like bird watching thing you know it's like you you can and yeah oh you have to stay with her like she goes to sleep
Starting point is 00:40:39 good then you go and have your fun or whatever you know I mean she's a fucking 90 something old woman she's gonna go sleep early early and you've got at least two more hours with your sixty fucking six year old brain You can bring your Xbox dude. Yeah bring your Xbox bring your fucking just bring your like Yeah, bring your Nintendo switch and just fucking zone out brother, you know the office on the cruise Oh, no, brother, you know, there's a really interesting office on the cruise. Here's a really interesting line. I think that that sums up what this person wants. I have offered to host in my home
Starting point is 00:41:13 where she would have a full bed, a full and safe bathroom, no confusing outlets, no elevators or stairs, no lines, no safety drills, traditional family recipes, decor and activities. Yes, I've spoken with her and my brother about it before seeking input from strangers. To those of you who have offered constructive advice and or insight. Thank you. For those of you with fragile egos who can't handle someone not agreeing with them or those assuming the worst when given no reason to assume the worst. Wow. Wow. Sad. Now, this person wants to do it at their house.
Starting point is 00:41:44 Well, yeah. What's wrong with that, right? So, okay so oh you want to go on a fucking cruise like out into some sort of tropical paradise and and all you can eat to buffets and everything or You could come to my house. Yeah I mean, it's a little dark because I had to board up the one window that gives us the most natural light But it's like we're gonna have home-cooked meals You know
Starting point is 00:42:07 And I got black mold I cut black mold and you don't want to come I mean It's just funny because I think everybody has a person in their life. That's just like I host and Like nobody else hosts nobody like listen And like nobody else hosts nobody like listen Nobody comes to my house and I would love to have company But I have a brother and people go to his house and they like going there so I don't even bring it up Have you ever thought about have you ever thought about it might be nice. Hey, hey, we're doing something special They usually come over on it would be a whole thing. It could be a whole thing Yeah, and you could start a new tradition that might be, I don't want to know it would start
Starting point is 00:42:45 off. It would start off all the questions. Then you would have to like somebody would complain. You'd have to change something to make it fit. So yeah, exactly. I'm the guy who thinks the stuff Branson saying is positive. Yeah, exactly. You would. Yeah. And that would be great. I know what that that's a trap every time. Now I think there are some people who would rather be at their house. And everybody comes to them and I think that's what this person in the end Yeah, it's like why would why would we go on a cruise when we could all come to the best place in the world my house?
Starting point is 00:43:14 Yeah, which is great, which is great. It has all the stuff. I like in it. I Purchased it when I wanted it I like why would anyone want to be somewhere other than my It has all the stuff I like. Why would anyone want to be somewhere other than my house where all the best stuff in the world is and you feel the most comfortable and safe? I don't want to have to explain my body pillow to some security guard on a boat. Airbnb hosts. Oh, we hate. We ask the question.
Starting point is 00:43:45 We hate air. This is the most hated people that we've ever encountered on guys. Yeah. And we cover police guy. Yeah. We caught the cops, the people, the people that are big fans of the loss prevention guys. Just the fans and loss prevention guys who are also fans of the police. Spoiler alert.
Starting point is 00:44:02 But yeah, these are the most despised by the audience I think as well that we've ever covered. Can I say this about the loss prevention guys? I think the police hate the loss prevention guys and the last yeah guys love the pool. Yes I think I think there's we're hundred percent There's similar levels of evil, but it's almost like you know an evil ant versus an evil wolf. Yes like an evil ant versus an evil wolf. You're gonna be more afraid of an evil wolf. Yeah, both of them are trying to harm you, but only one has the real means to do it, you know?
Starting point is 00:44:30 The security guard's more likely to harm himself. Yeah. We did read so many loss prevention guys being like, and then I called the police and they didn't even come. Yeah. And it's like, just fucking calm down. police and they didn't even code. Yeah. It's like just fucking calm down. Security, security guards are fine by the way. It's the loss prevention are different. I mean, some of them are security guards, but it's like the
Starting point is 00:44:52 loss prevention guys are like the guys who are really doing like tactical takedowns and looking at the cameras and stuff. You know, I actually recently went to top golf. I told the story on the stream a couple weeks ago and there was a guy there that I hated. He's a Trump guy. He was goofing on his kids for jacking off all this crazy stuff, right? He was just, he tried to, he tried to get a, he tried to get moved because he had a reservation. Yeah. Like it was very cold. It was totally full of Branson, but he thought one of the unreserved reservation to people should move to the worst spot where he was and he should get a better spot because he
Starting point is 00:45:29 had a reservation. F 350. He had the man. He had the manager come to him and he was like, it's way colder here than it is over there. And the guy's like, well, you're outside. Yeah, you're outside's like well you're outside yeah you're outside unfortunately you're outside sir and the guy goes the guy goes well but I have a reservation mm-hmm and the guy's like he doesn't he I have a the sorry this reservation does not stop me from getting cold okay so I guess I mustn't
Starting point is 00:45:59 have read the small print but we, because we saw the Trump things on his golf clubs. The golf club covers were Trump with fake hair and everything on them. And we saw him downstairs just having a conversation with the least interested security guards I've ever seen in my entire life. That is brutal, man.
Starting point is 00:46:21 That is probably the most brutal. I mean, the boredom of being a security guard I would imagine I've never done security work, but like just like sitting there for a long time You know filling the day and it just going by so slowly but a close second has got to be Fucking insufferable guys who don't people won't talk to a lot and they know you have to stay there. Oh, it's called old man I call it old man aggro. Yeah You'll you'll ever it's it. Anybody's able to catch it. I catch it a lot because I get a lot of old people aggro because I'm very tall.
Starting point is 00:46:51 And if I'm in the grocery store, somebody will come up to me and tell me, you know, my brother was very tall or do it. So I the best old man aggro I ever got is I was by the butter section of the grocery store and a guy was in the butter section. I was looking for butter. He was looking for a friend. And he picks up the land. This is right when they changed the land of in the butter section. I was looking for butter. He was looking for a friend. And he picks up the land. This is right when they changed the land of lakes butter mascot.
Starting point is 00:47:08 And he's like, can you believe this fucking shit? Can you believe this? And like immediately, like what happened was out of the corner of my eye, I saw him pick up the butter. I saw him glance over at me and I saw the thought formulate in his head. And then that moment of eye contact, when they turned to you and you make eye contact
Starting point is 00:47:23 for the first time and you instantly recognize they have a pre-prepared bit or statement and you're going to have to figure out how to wriggle to get out of that. That is old man aggro and you can catch it anywhere. My father-in-law has it. Yeah, that's so true. Have you tried to just, it depends on the scenario, but a good thing would be to run off. I said I'm not really interested
Starting point is 00:47:46 in talking about that thing. That's pretty direct. That's known as assertive communication. I'm learning about assertive communication. You did a good job of that. I would have used passive communication, and I would have ran away. No, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:47:59 They thrive on passive communication. You're right. They would have found me. They're not gonna get it. I would have been one of those situations where I'd be running. I have worked in a grant program in Atlantic City. I know how to be direct and tell things very clearly. I don't know how. I got to tell you, I actually would probably just agree with them.
Starting point is 00:48:20 Which is something that I'm known to do. I'm afraid of the second riff. That is passive. I'm agreeing with them when you don't believe it is passive communication. I usually use what's known as aggressive communication. I've learned, which is not a good one to use, but I'm learning to use assertive communication, which is nice. Yeah, it sounds like France and you're quite good at it.
Starting point is 00:48:41 Well, you move sideways. You got to move sideways. You never go straight at them. You move sideways on them. People will be staying at my Airbnb over the holiday. Should I put up a Christmas tree? I will have holiday decorations up, but not sure about a tree. As you can imagine,
Starting point is 00:48:58 the most psycho people in the world are like, this guy goes, I would ask. Good excuse for a little bonding and dialogue. Which I would ask. Don't ask. I do not. I can't express how little I want bonding and dialogue with an Airbnb.
Starting point is 00:49:14 You don't want to create some sort of lasting friendship, a connection with this person? No. An experience? Yeah. One of the... Well, you don't get to pick them anyway, right? Like you can't say, I like this host.
Starting point is 00:49:28 I want to stay at another one of their properties. I don't think whenever you get one of the hosts, it's like, we want this to be an experience. We want this to be a truly like we want people to come here and really feel something. The second you ask one of those motherfuckers, hey, the fire alarms beeping and we and it's behind a locked door. That motherfucker still takes 11 hours to show up. So I'm done with the experience. They have to lock the door because they can't trust your stupid ass with a fire
Starting point is 00:49:56 alarm. You'll probably fucking shove it up your ass or something. I didn't tell this on the main show, I don't think, but I stayed in an Airbnb out by Mount Rainier. It was really nice, you know, and the fire alarm started beeping and I called the guy and he was like, can you just take it down? And I said, well, it's really high up there. I don't think I'll be able to take it down and take the batteries out of it. And he's like, oh, there's really high up there I don't think I'll be able to take it down and take the batteries out of it
Starting point is 00:50:25 And he's like oh, there's a ladder out back behind the house You just go out there grab that ladder come in and do it and I was like Okay, and I ended up doing it I felt like such a loser. He didn't offer me anything. I think he's right there I think that's fine. Sometimes it happens. The alarm goes off, he's telling you, here, you're a fucking adult, deal with it. There's a fucking ladder. And then you know what I would have done? I would have bashed that fire alarm up. I would have fucking ripped it or nothing.
Starting point is 00:50:56 I would have smashed it up and I would have left it on his fucking pillow with some sort of menacing note or something like that. Well, this guy goes- I hate it when they tell me to like, hey, can you wash the sheets? I'm not. Yeah. Okay. I'll wash the sheets. I'll wash it with my fucking piss. How about that? I'm not pissing on. I'm not pissing and coming on their stuff. That's a little too far for me. But uh, not me. Yeah. No, I every Airbnb you piss and come on the sheets. I don't come I piss everywhere. I piss. You know what it sounds like when he comes. That's kind of be impressive honestly. Yeah. That's a
Starting point is 00:51:32 long that's a long bit of gum right there. Yeah. All right. Here you guys go. You're going to love this because the first few words of this sentence are also I have a theory. Oh good. Then Airbnb host theory. We love those That if they feel they know you a little on a personal level it may reduce the inconsideration That will reflect unless things wreck blind scratches in the floor broken glasses slices into your countertop by not using a cutting board Etc. I wouldn't put your heirloom ornaments onto the tree. It's a nice gesture, though, if they celebrate Christmas. Completely incorrect.
Starting point is 00:52:08 The only reason that I'm getting to know the Airbnb host and cozying up to them is to learn about how I can do more destruction on their place. I want to learn about the, like, soft spots there. So this will not work on me. I will piss everywhere. I will destroy everything no matter what. And I'll make a new account. Try to report me. I will piss everywhere. I will destroy everything no matter what and I'll make a new account try to Report me I got a hundred accounts, and they're all liars every Airbnb
Starting point is 00:52:30 I've ever did they got the lick and stick fucking remodel you open up the closet. It's like half painted They got all the old shit thrown in there like yeah, I've never been in an impressive Airbnb period either I don't understand. I haven't been stating times, but every single one I've ever been in, I've been unimpressed by. It's looked way worse in person than it did in the photos by such a long time. You expect it on some degree. Same as a whole, you know?
Starting point is 00:52:55 But it just was so disappointing every time, with what you said, just everything is like paper. It's like cardboard paper type shit, the cheapest of everything. The TVs, TVs hung up in an Airbnb Mounted on the wall. Those are some of the best TV mounts. I've ever seen in my fucking life It'll just be like they'll have like the one mount where it'll be like hanging sideways You can move the TV around but it's just never straight. Yeah
Starting point is 00:53:19 we had an insane one where like There was a kitchen in the wall between the living room and the kitchen like doesn't go all the way it's like you know what I mean like it's an open so you can walk into the dining room they had it hanging up where you would have to sit on either side of the wall between the kitchen and the living room to actually watch the tv it's just like these people so anyway you're gonna love guy. I think five years in never changed anything to accommodate holidays. If they had a tree, cool. That's your business. People are too sensitive these
Starting point is 00:53:56 days and may take offense. Yeah, it reminds me of when I had a 48 day stay from some Swedes. They listed several things I was quote missing and they were once on their end, silk sheets, drying racks, specific types of pots and pans, et cetera. I contacted support and they said, if none of these amenities were listed, you're not obligated to fulfill them. If they choose to modify, they stay with purchase, modify their stay with purchasing these additions. They're welcome to do so. So they did. I bought the pots and pans from them and they ended up extending their stay two weeks towards the end. I'd approach it the same way. Welcome
Starting point is 00:54:34 to modify within reason be well. So that guy's a dick. Well, he made me sounds like they worked it out in the end. You know, they were the Swedes were looking for some fucking crazy Swedish pans to make their weird foods. I'll say like I was very, very, very against this guy, but I can only imagine the nightmare of like a three month occupancy Swedish family on an American Airbnb, just fundamentally misunderstanding everything about America. It's almost what they all deserve, you know? Every one of them deserves a three month stay
Starting point is 00:55:09 from a Swedish family who knows nothing of the culture of America to really open their eyes to how easy they have it for the rest of the year. And they'll be treating all the rest of the customers a lot better. God. Stoned old Chiller says, we put up a substantial indoor tree with ornaments and lights,
Starting point is 00:55:27 nothing religious, apart from the tree which is pagan.

I don't know I'm just thinking out loud. It's absolutely Preposterous to think there's a God Let's check in with some rotten tomatoes guys. Oh sweet. I looked at some reviews of home alone Oh great This is a Christmas movie a famous one And and this is I went to this with my aunt when I was like five years old in this old movie theater this rundown in Richmond BC where I grew up and it's I believe the first movie I ever went to at the movie theaters was Home Alone
Starting point is 00:56:13 So this is a real special place in my heart. I loved this movie when I was when I was a baby boy. I Don't think you're gonna like Jeff he gave it two and a half stars Because I really only have one fundamental issue with this movie. Unfortunately, it's a big one Let's start with the good Culkin does a fantastic job in this movie Let's start with the boy Can defend he's marvelous. I mean listen he does he is good, but it's yeah, he's a little boy. You know, I don't know that he you know what I mean? The wedding was fine, but the flower girl was a fucking idiot.
Starting point is 00:56:55 The best man was a hoot. This wedding was amazing. The best man was incredible. I love the idea of reviewing somebody's wedding. Culkin does a fantastic job in this movie. I'm very sensitive toward overly cute and or obnoxious kids in movies, but he straddles the line perfectly. The sporting cast is filled with wonderful. These kids are too cute in these movies.
Starting point is 00:57:22 Honestly, when the kids get too cute in the movies, it does take me out of it. I hate that everyone does film criticism now. I hate that everyone reviews movies. That we don't need this. Letterboxd, everyone get on Letterboxd. Let's make sure we all get our Letterboxd reviews in there. I just think it is safe to say though, Brents, and I know you're getting a little bit angry about this, but it is safe to say, I think you can even agree that Kevin, whatever his name is, Macaulay Culkin, he basically, he understood the assignment. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:57:54 He knew he did like, it's- Macaulay Culkin ate and he left no crumbs. I'm telling you, Culkin understood the assignment. He knew that if he plays too cute, it's gonna wreck this whole thing. And there's a line he has to straddle there between mischievous and cute and lovable, and he fucking understands the assignment.
Starting point is 00:58:13 And he snatched Joe Pesci's wig, I heard, too. Honestly, like, to see that type of range and understanding of acting in a child so young is really impressive. The supporting cast is filled with wonderful actors, particularly particularly the treasure that is Catherine O'Hara. And no one can't help but leave the guys fanning himself on. He's got a little something.
Starting point is 00:58:35 I hear it's fantastic, but we can't agree. She is great. She's a treasure. And because no one can't help but leave this movie with a warm heart after the uplifting ending. here's my problem. Oh When Bugs Bunny drops an anvil on Yosemite Sam or when the Acme bomb meant to impede the Roadrunner blows up and Wiley Coyote's face there's great humor to be found these are cartoons. We realize no one's actually When you take Jordan Peterson turn Jordan Peterson said my god what happened? What I was not I was not expecting that of all the things I was not expecting this
Starting point is 00:59:12 nature of bugs bunny must be understood When you take these same antics and portray them in the real world with real people It's not only unfunny, but very uncomfortable to watch and portray them in the real world with real people, it's not only unfunny, but very uncomfortable to watch. It's uncomfortable. It's uncomfortable. He's watching a snuff film. It's uncomfortable.
Starting point is 00:59:32 When Daniel Stern gets hit with it, like, you know what I mean? It's like, well, I mean, just, can we go through some of the things that happened to them, though? Like, Branson, you laugh about it, but can you imagine the impact of like an anvil hitting somebody or whatever, like somebody in that like it would be it I don't know if you've seen something
Starting point is 00:59:48 that in person but it's fucking traumatizing in a very serious way it's not funny is what he's saying if you have somebody with a paint can you're no yeah exactly exactly I think that's the point he's making of course it can be used in a comical, but it's like if you see that in real life, it's fucking jarring when Curly Went to Larry and he poked him in the eyes and Larry could not see for 10 seconds He didn't even realize the paint can was over his head. So he tried to turn He tried to turn but the but the two-by-four his shoulder and it hit Moe and Moe fell into the barrel. I love this guy because he goes, perhaps I'm overly sensitive. Millions of yes, you are. Millions of filmgoers obviously feel differently,
Starting point is 01:00:39 but it left a sour aftertaste in my mouth and ruined the rest of the movie, most of which I thoroughly enjoyed. So friggin violence. But it left a sour aftertaste in my mouth and ruined the rest of the movie, most of which I thoroughly enjoyed. So, I have friggin' violence. Yeah, I really identified with the criminals trying to hurt the child. It was when the child was able to get the upper hand on the older men that were similar to my age, where I was like, well, this isn't realistic. I could easily kill a child and
Starting point is 01:01:05 I would have no problem getting into the house. And so it was unrealistic to me. This is a four star review from Jason and he says he watched it on April 20th, 2024. Oh, hang on a second. Yeah, I'm thinking this. I'm thinking we need to take this, uh, take this fucking review with a grain of, uh, salt. You know what I mean? Uh, a grain of Keef, a Christmas classic now joining Kevin as he's accidentally left home alone. Still enjoyable to watch putting yourself in the nineties again. Of course, things would be different these days with technology, video calls, door cams, house cams Alexa etc still one of my childhood favorites so Alexa so this guy got a high on 420 and started thinking about how home alone would eat well how it wouldn't even work in today's
Starting point is 01:01:57 day and age even make it these days you couldn't make it cause of the violence but but because of Alexa that's a big thing or just like all the Colkins way too old you couldn't it wouldn't be the violence. But because of Alexa, that's a big thing. Or just like the- But Coley Culkin's way too old. It wouldn't be the same movie if you made it today. But Coley Culkin would be, he's a grown up now, he was with the family, so he would be like, wouldn't be an issue that he's left home alone. When it's a child under attack, it's a lighthearted comedy.
Starting point is 01:02:18 When it's adult under attack, it's a horror movie. Yeah, I mean, I believe it's, Blue Ruin has a similar kind of feel to it great movie Where it's that's kind of an adult and he's in there and this people are trying to get in and kill him It does sort of take a different a trap trap based movies movies that are focused on traps Daniel L gave it two and a half stars and he goes I liked it But the reason why it was bad was because the characters, there were only three main characters, the two robbers and Kevin. Yep. Every film, every film review sounds to me like the guy, I can just see the
Starting point is 01:02:53 guy laying down in bed, holding his big belly and just typing the review into his phone. That's what every movie review I hear as I don't know I liked it but the boy you know he wasn't realistic they they only they didn't have enough characters yeah you want more characters ideally did have more characters just to be clear mainly just the three though yeah but that's like most movies it's mainly there's like main characters dumb complaint where's all the characters? What the fuck are you talking about? Yeah, like I paid good money and there's only three characters I want seven to ten characters for the amount of money. I paid to watch just
Starting point is 01:03:36 Quantifying media to such a point that it doesn't mean excuse me. Yeah. Yes I'm calling to get a refund for my castaway showing. I believed I was going to see a minimum of three characters. This fucking scene's stupid as fuck! Macbeth is talking to a fucking skull instead of a guy? Fucking wake me up! Wake me up once you see somebody cool. Well, yeah, skull's not a character.
Starting point is 01:04:00 Wait, wait, do you guys think that the thing in Castaway is a skull? That's a ball. It's a it's a volleyball. He said Macbeth. Macbeth. No, Macbeth. You changed into Macbeth. Oh, I see. I see. No, it was Macbeth first. I was doing a much more smart guy. So what you're saying is I thought of Castaway.
Starting point is 01:04:19 You're saying cast, but I went with Macbeth. Castaway got that idea from Macbeth. I don't I'm not claiming that Castaway got the idea of talking to something and thinking it's somebody else, but if we want to trace that idea back to its original idea, I'm gonna go with Macbeth talking to the skull. And I'm sure people were talking to stuff before that. Can I ask, is Wilson a character though? He's got a name but the stupid Wilson character doesn't even fucking call what could he couldn't
Starting point is 01:04:51 afford to fucking pay another actor so couldn't do any CGI scenes to make it seem like Wilson was dancing you ever heard a voiceover maybe at least he could talk you know what I mean well max johnson gave it to star tedious for the child of five calling it children's movie t t d for the child of five who has not learned to read this could well be captivating yes and i can tell you as someone who watched it at that age, it was and it changed my life and it was incredible. And that's who it was made for.
Starting point is 01:05:30 You fucking buffoon. He goes, he goes for the child of five who has not learned to read this could well be captivating or entertaining to those irresponsible parents. Slapstick strongly requiring suspension of disbelief zero Christian themes. This is not a Oh, I see Christmas movie. I see zero Christian themes sort of gave away that whole thing Man, what are Christian people fucking like? I Like if you don't like home alone man, you know, your options are limited. That's like one of the cleanest things we got
Starting point is 01:06:02 I know I know it's one thing that we agree on. That's why I had to find bad reviews. But I do have a five star review from Bob. Thank you, Bob. Home Alone 1. Well, it's weird. I'm going to tell you that. What? Home Alone. Home Alone 1 is the movie I like the most, period.
Starting point is 01:06:18 Home Alone 1 is the movie that gives me the most laughs, period. Home Alone 1 has a circumstance in which I certainly enjoy And that is that for the people in the movie were born in the same year as me, right? Hillary Wolf Angela Goenthal's Devin Rattray and Mike Morona were all born in 1977 and I was born in 1977 also okay, and all four of them say quotes during the movie that caused me to laugh and so anyone that was born in quotes during the movie that caused me to laugh. And so anyone that was born in 1977 and that likes this movie, keep in mind that four of the actors portrayed Macaulay Culkin
Starting point is 01:06:49 siblings in this movie share your same birth year. Huh? I don't. Sucks up. I'm going to start looking that up in. I know what kind of guy this is. I'm going to start looking up and sort of seeing if people have the same birthday or year as me. Birth year. Birth year.
Starting point is 01:07:07 Yeah. I know what this guy is. I know what he's doing. What do you think he's doing? What is your... Oh, he's just living his life. He's in the basement somewhere. He's casually mentioning people, you know this person was born in 1977, same as me.
Starting point is 01:07:22 And then they go, okay, Derek, that's great. Thank you. And then he says it for every movie. And I bet if you click on it, I bet he talks about the birth year in some other movie. This is as clean as a fixation as I've ever seen. Yeah. A clean fixation. I went and looked at feet in your face,
Starting point is 01:07:42 r slash feet in your face. For Christmas? That's where the foot guys go. Branson, are you into feet? I went and looked at feet in your face r slash feet in your face for Christmas That's where the foot guy Hanson. Are you into feet? Are you into feet in the sex way? No, I mean I like them in walking around on but like, you know I've never looked at a foot and you know thought to like put the whole thing in my mouth or whatever, you know Yeah, we don't I'm glad I never sucked on a foot for three hours. Yeah, I'm glad and happy for them I think they're very great. But yeah, it's one of those ones where I can't really even
Starting point is 01:08:09 understand the appeal of it. If you don't know, yeah. It's one of those that you'll just never know. Yeah, you either get it or you don't. You just really have to. It's not one of those ones where it's like. If you're not a foot guy, you just have to be like, I'll never know.
Starting point is 01:08:20 It's like, oh, man, I'm really into like, I'm not super into asses or whatever. Just as an example, I'm not saying I'm not. But just like you know. I'm not super into asses or whatever just as an example I'm not saying I'm not I like yeah, just like hey I'm not super NASA, but I can see how people find NASA's but got it not for feet feet It's like because I love I like I like titties. I like pussies. I like faces I like all four he goes with the big four Brian's with the classic big four he goes You know this the left side of the twin headed snake always goes for the big four everyone knows faces asses titties and
Starting point is 01:08:51 But yeah the pussy I said pussy Here there's a Nick cave book where he's like, you know Tit man or ass man. I'm a whole man and I was like, oh my god Nick cave is one horny guy That's one horny guy. Well, these foot guys, Branson, one thing I learned when we did the feet guys episode, which I believe is last week's episode that comes out, is that these are the horniest men. Outrageously, outrageously horny, like more than we've seen other kink stuff. And they don't seem to be as horny as these guys.
Starting point is 01:09:22 These guys seem to take it to a different level. I think I have a theory on that. I think like there's never really the release valve on the foot. What? You know, you never like, you never get to like, like what you do, you jizz on a foot. Yeah, well we did. We experienced that. You can do foot jobs as well. You can stick your- Yeah, but that's fucking goofing off. No, no, they don't goof about that and you use oh yeah they're making the best of a bad situation that's inherently goofing off that's good they put their foot inside their farts that's not serious that's not serious
Starting point is 01:09:55 our theory I don't think anybody's ever put their foot in the butt. Serious people don't give foot jobs. They put their foot into their butts. And I think that I believe it is the reason. The whole foot? Our theory is that the reason they're so horny is because feet are all around, and you're seeing them all the time. You know what I mean? Like the thing that you're, but I guess that's the same with asses.
Starting point is 01:10:19 Are you really seeing feet all the time? I mean, I see feet a lot. Yeah, you're just like, they're everywhere. They're in like at, you know what I mean? They're just like, they're around you all the time. But I guess that is the same for everything, really. I guess I'm going to be honest. I don't really notice that many feet around me
Starting point is 01:10:33 in my day-to-day life. We don't notice it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think if you're a foo guy, like, you can't argue with the fact, Branson, all those people around you. It's like titties for them. They go nuts.
Starting point is 01:10:40 I don't understand it. It's like titties for them. They all have feet. They all have feet, the people who are walking around. Well, not all, but most people have feet. I just think, I. It's like titties for they all have feet They all have feet the people who are walking around well not all but most people I just think I think it's such a persistent sexual Things you never get the release You know you're gonna come on a foot, but that's inherently a clumsy act Hmm in my opinion in my opinion well
Starting point is 01:10:59 I don't want anybody saying you know I have this really elegant. We have this really elegant anybody saying you know I have this really elegant we have this really elegant well this woman posted I'm not gonna make you guys look at it she posted alone on Christmas needs some cheering up and it's her feet she's fully dressed she's got her feet on the table that's what the picture is first guy says gorgeous lady and her sniffable souls Hmm Their foot foot guys are a little bit more wordsmiths. They are this guy goes Hey, Mary lewd miss you're a beautiful and those toes will end up licked. Hmm. So that that's not so that one sort of Wasn't so good for your theory Brad said that guy was a little less of a word. Hey
Starting point is 01:11:44 But but he's trying that's really he's all like maybe a new guy like he's new and The first guy was like a real veteran and that guy's just learning. Yeah, he'll get some guidance. Hopefully, you know Yeah, he'll come up with a better line. He'll compliment more women. He'll see what works this person says Merry Christmas Eve cutie and has the Emoji with the hearts around there. You that'll get her that'll get her to shield DM you with that one I'll get it there, but next guy says sexy self with the same Thing and then this person says Merry Christmas. You have a beautiful smile and very cute feet Anybody post any pictures of their toong?
Starting point is 01:12:22 No, I wish I love it when they say to here's my toong. Yeah. Well, this guy goes pretty toes. Can I look? Yeah. Oh, I don't know. Can you lick them? I'd love to see what would you do that with though? How am I supposed to know if I wanted to be touching my toes unless I see it stuck out of your mouth and a really grotesque way? Here's what I think. Make maybe I wouldn't post. He goes, I would kill for someone like you. Easy. All right. Sell down, Beavis. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:53 That's maybe a calm down a little. Yeah, it is. You're scaring the hose. I would kill for some. Yeah, because me and I'm not even. I think maybe there are some women, probably less nowadays, maybe more so in the feudal times or whatever, that would really sort of respect a man who is willing to kill for them. That still exists, but I think most women see that as what's known as a red flag. It's just like, oh, I don't want to bring this person into my life who is saying that
Starting point is 01:13:22 they- Willing to kill. Willing to kill somebody and take someone's life I don't want to sleep He'll kill over. Yeah, I don't want to sleep over love He's just I want to sleep beside this guy and close my eyes, you know, so You are beautiful and those feet are exquisite. I would love to spend Christmas with you. Well, that's that's nice That's honestly. I, that's just polite This guy goes Merry Christmas hottest woman on the internet. Mmm. Okay. I don't know you need to I think she probably knows that's not true
Starting point is 01:13:53 Well, she's also she's also you know, she's fucking going into the lion's den. She's literally dipping her toes in the lion's den That's true. All we can know is that this woman knows what she's doing lion's den that's true all we can know is that this woman knows what she's doing yes this guy goes what hot girl with perfect toes home alone how marry me yeah it's like it's so funny cuz he's like saying it is it what how but it's like the true tone of that is like women like on her own like loves feet beautiful feet fucking marry me like he he's like so so intensely serious. This next post is from Tattoo Goddess 420, and she says, all I want for Christmas is you worshipping my big feet.
Starting point is 01:14:34 And let's look at some replies to that. How big is it? Yeah. They're not too big, actually. I'll show you. They're not huge feet. I'll tell you that. Like I would be It's tough to say cuz it doesn't really we don't have a lot to compare I don't have a lot to yeah We don't take I'll say this her feet do look why they look pretty Going on here and you know depending on if that's a twin mattress or honestly It looks like she's on some sort of depressing couch blanket situation with a sheet on it.
Starting point is 01:15:07 But yes, that's not also she didn't post this picture. She's asleep right now. Her weird husband or whatever took that fucking picture. It was like I'm tattoo goddess for 20. Now we did find that happens a lot with what? Huh? This guy goes, Worshipping your big feet would be the ideal Christmas gift. They look big and snuggly. Dude, they sound like fucking AI reply guys.
Starting point is 01:15:33 It does. Oh my God. Those feet look amazing. And I would love to cool up, cuddle up with them on a warm Christmas. They don't look snuggly, by the way. Like they look like, I would imagine that they're kind of rough. I'm beat They look like every other motherfucking foot. I've ever seen my whole fucking life every fucking one
Starting point is 01:15:53 Dirty soul lover says what a coincidence. That's exactly what I want to and I see you have my pen set up already What's that? They have a pen around the tree. She says that's to keep my cat from biting my tree. Oh, she's like, no, that's not whatever little joke you're trying to play with me. No, I'm going to give you the real now actual purpose of that to just cut this off immediately. That's cool, because he replies and goes, I'm sure you could have me trained quick enough. I wouldn't need a pen anyway.
Starting point is 01:16:24 OK, she's going to not respond to that one, right? Yeah, I'd need a muzzle. Yeah, I don't think I'll need a pen. You'll have me train. You'll have me train. Thankfully, you know, hopefully you can train me. Otherwise, who knows? I'm very physically dangerous. She replies. Oh, honey. She goes, I doubt much training is needed. You seem pretty obedient already. Okay. Subdom going on here. So is the foot...
Starting point is 01:16:54 The foot thing isn't inherently tied to the... This guy just is a foot guy that has also a wanting to be dominated thing? I think so. Or is the foot thing about wanting to be dominated too? No, I think it's not Specifically, I think there's feet guys who aren't subs But I think there's something about it that does seem inherently like a submissive thing right like kiss someone's feet or like You know what I mean? Like there's something about that
Starting point is 01:17:16 I mean Jesus got a lot of points for doing that to the peasants back when nobody was doing that Oh, and you're made up fucking picture book that you fucking read every Sunday Got to say I like leave I like the twists and turns of this Because he goes I have my pen set you have my pen set up and she's like that's not yeah and Then he's like, oh well, I'm sure you could train me and I wouldn't need it. Mm-hmm Because she said that's not for you now. he's like, OK, that's not for me. I need to back off.
Starting point is 01:17:46 And then she goes, I doubt much training is needed. You need you seem pretty obedient already. So now she's got him trained. He's open. Yeah, he's coming. He's coming. He's coming. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:17:57 Thank you. But I'm still pretty rough around the edges. And my stubborn and prideful side comes out ever so often. But I bet you could break me in my bed. No, no,, you know, no, no, it's so you've turned it I know fucking good for you. You're on line for talking to this woman and you're already like I ain't no Playful sort of thing like you can probably train me. I'm pretty good like oh you've already got me training It's just like well the truth of it is I have some pretty serious emotional baggage and trauma that I'm dealing with. My mom died. Everything's been going to shit. Let's look at one. One more thing here. I can't even compartmentalize
Starting point is 01:18:35 my horniness and my life problems. I went to our slash lottery who are new and the lottery has a good bump in the Christmas. Yeah, of course. That's a lottery tickets. People are always buying them for the stockings and the scratch and wins and everything. Yeah. So this guy glad towers post Christmas presents for the family bought one for myself. So the total came to $400. He he bought $50 cards for his family. All the people in his family. That's a that's a hefty price to pay, but not too much. I've
Starting point is 01:19:12 already spent more than that for my Christmas. How much have you spent for your Christmas? And this comes up before Christmas. So don't fucking say the present. I don't know. This idiot said the present that he bought his wife when we're recording, not realizing the episode comes up before Christmas. And I got to go. I was your wife listen to the podcast. Does your wife listen to the podcast? My wife has never listened to a single podcast.
Starting point is 01:19:34 She does. She listens to it. And she's she likes it a lot as well. And DB is a guest on that episode, so she might have listened. All right. This guy replies and goes, Hey, it's me. Your family, uh, content cargo says $50 tickets hot damn. Some of them will win because the more expensive the ticket, the more people win Branson. I don't know if you I'm familiar with gambling. This guy goes, what happens if one wins? Do they pretend they lost and cash it in on the sly? Uh, we'll all share if one wins this could end your
Starting point is 01:20:06 family as you know so that's somebody who has incredible selfishness no understanding of love or like you know camaraderie or just family at all or anything like that would just absolutely sell his entire family for any amount of money classic lottery guy paranoia. Once again, huge things. I have had worried that they're going to get their fucking money taken from their family. How do I keep it from my fucking family? I have had uncles who have given lottery tickets as a Christmas gift and then done the joke like, you know, if you win, you got to give me some. And it's just like, ah, whatever, man. I don't even want this. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:20:46 If you win millions of dollars, sure. You gave me most likely nothing. Yeah. That's the gamble. They don't see the gamble on your side where it's like, well, you spent $6 or $5. I bought this fucking loser lottery took a night. I didn't fucking get any of the money. This guy goes, the O P comes back and goes, I'm pretty secure about how we'd all act. We signed the house under all of our names and we regularly help each other out financially. So I think we can handle a winner. Yeah. So he's so normal guy replies and goes, that's good. And then another guy replies and goes, I know that's what I'm thinking. I also would never give lottery tickets as gifts. I won't be so I would be so envious of someone one big LOL
Starting point is 01:21:31 So this guy would destroy his yeah Just slowly but surely Slowly, but surely he would destroy it with resentment and just you know, like Hey Everybody like I I know everybody I know that's like a big gambler is also a huge liar. So so it's like whatever these guys are saying they wouldn't do. I don't believe that's fair. You're telling me people that have problems with impulse control make irrational emotional decisions with family This guy goes gave out for this month for office prizes last person 150 bucks that alone will keep me up at night
Starting point is 01:22:09 Four million I'd lose my mind. What a pussy. I hate this guy What a shitty way to go through the world. I gave them a bottle of wine and they drank it and enjoyed it It should have been my wine just die. It's so weird too because yeah, like So you're not from it. So you were trying you were hoping to give them nothing But that was your best case scenario You're mad that I didn't get nothing you I gave you a gift and I'm mad that the gift amounted to something That's why I Wanted it I wanted you to lose but I wanted you to have the joy of the scratch.
Starting point is 01:22:47 I wanted it to go to the scratch. Anyone who knows it's about the scratch, it's all about the scratch. Here's one thing that's I had someone get mad at is if you curse somebody's sports bets. And I've said I officially curse all sports bets of people in this room. I had three people get mad at me. Yeah, you gotta be careful with that. They take, they, I mean, I will say as somebody
Starting point is 01:23:12 who was like into sports when I was younger, before I had, I guess like thoughtfulness or whatever, I was like, don't fucking do that. You know, like I gotta knock four times or they won't. You know what I mean? Like, I was like, it's all this bizarre thing Was like don't fucking do that, you know, like I got a knock four times or they won't you know What I mean, like I was like it's all this bizarre thing that you're like trying to have control over everything You know the things that you just could never have any control over at all You're trying to convince yourself that you do have some control over them, you know
Starting point is 01:23:38 Well, here's an interesting one of a guy that I think maybe got Brought his own baggage to a movie and he goes, Wow, best of luck, mate. Make sure you scratch it off with a lucky coin. I always remember that coin scene and no country for old men. So he remembers the guy filling out. So you're telling me when your nieces and nephews are scratching their scratching wins by the fire on Christmas morning you are picturing Anton Shigeru or whatever. I'll say that when you talk in a public forum you owe it on some
Starting point is 01:24:12 level to the people that you are talking to to say something good and worth saying and that's the most non-sentence ever of like oh yeah hey remember that scene it's like you posted that. Why take a little pride in your work. You posted that you watched a scene in no country for old men and that the thing you were thinking about was the lottery ticket and not anything else that was happening in the thing. I'd rather take a wild insane.
Starting point is 01:24:40 Oh, is that what he's trying? He's trying to like say that I'm such a lottery ticket guy that I watch this and This is what I was focused on that in that case that is cool and finally What the good reads to read some reviews of a Christmas Carol by Charles? Oh? We did we did book guys and we learned there's some great reviews of classic literature from modern day. Oh Yeah, people people approaching classic literature with disdain off the jump What the fuck is a jar V? I hate context
Starting point is 01:25:17 Yeah, this guy's one star Let me say it myself so I can save everyone the effort before you feel the need to say it I'm an odd bloody duck odd and proud. Oh, yeah, sorry I'm I sometimes I go against the grain on stuff Branson. It's just sort of something that's built into me, you know The only site where you can get away with saying this now without people goofing. Yeah Although we are goofing on them. Most of the times I end up not liking and sometimes even hating the famous books or the more acceptable books.
Starting point is 01:25:51 I'm a little late with the review considering it was Christmas. Such a cool thing to be like. It's so cool to be that way. Sorry, Brian. Keep going. It was reviewing the Mona Lisa. Yeah, like I just. Yes, that's what it is to be.
Starting point is 01:26:04 We read people reviewing Dracula And they're like it was scary. I wasn't scary people kept saying it's not scary, and it's like well fucking dude. It's a book It's hard. I think it is scary to as far as from so Everyone was different then yes, you have to understand that you can't just assume Everybody's just in the present with you Walking lockstep with you this guy goes this book the message of it. The essence of it is good good enough The writing not so much This was my first Dickens book and in all honesty, I quite hated the writing style. It gave me a headache
Starting point is 01:26:42 I hate my answer chance. you didn't have enough water? Do you know? I mean, I feel like that's unfair. There's so many other reasons you could wear. Yeah, like you could have you could have a fucking cold a cold or a flu or whatever. These fucking guys would review exercise and say it made him throw up.
Starting point is 01:27:00 I hate how the author tries to talk to you. This ain't a conversation. Buddy do your little writing tell your little story. I ain't fucking here with you pretend I hate it when some British pussy tries to talk to me between 300 years of time and space and connect with me fucking loser I don't want the feeling of being in a conversation with the author I'm sorry that I'm not sorry to say that for for the me writing style I'm sorry that I'm not sorry to say that for me writing style takes precedence unless the story itself is extraordinary
Starting point is 01:27:37 Which clearly isn't the case here? I know at least one guy who will refuse to even acknowledge or like my review because I give it a low my god He's he's got a one hater that he knows. He's like I know of one guy who's going to certainly down vote this. I don't like, I love the like what's with the down votes or I know you're going to down vote me but I've never seen somebody say I know I'm going to get one vote from one particular, one down vote from one particular gentleman It's a it's a it's a way of talking that makes me just go. This guy is a dollop of cream Oh, yeah, this guy is holding his big multicolored lollipop. He is sitting there in his Fucking little sailor suit and he is ready to review literature
Starting point is 01:28:22 It's a classic the second one that I read for Christmas, and I didn't like either. I think I'll stay away from them. We don't seem to get along quite much. And then finally, for the end, Pat, the got Pat, the book goblin gave it one star. The book goblin gave a Christmas story one star. Yeah. Well, first things first, I hate this story. I hate it with every fiber of my body bah humbug They say in psychology that if you see something over and over again that you eventually start liking it. Oh They say that no Thanks, so I think it depends on the context of how you see it probably I'm not a psychologist
Starting point is 01:29:06 But I would imagine there's be some guy hatches from an egg every morning some context where it would you would see it over and Over again, and you would hate it Well, yeah unless it's watching the movie frozen 46 million times a month with my daughters. This doesn't work with me Growing up I was in the play a Christmas Carol for middle and high school every Christmas. Yep, you got it. I've been in this play six fucking times. I was all four ghosts, Bob Cratch's son, not Tiny Tim because I was too tall, and some extra character because there was too many of us one year. So needless to say, I can read the site the damn play in my sleep. And to make matters worse, we would watch the movie before we started to play practice for that year. So needless to say, I can read the site the damn play in my sleep. And to make matters worse, we would watch
Starting point is 01:29:46 the movie before we started to play practice for that year. And I've seen almost every movie adaptation, shoot me. So unless you're a zombie spin off where all the characters get their faces eaten off like pride and prejudice and zombies, I won't be reading this book ever again. So this is a guy, I again. So this is a guy. I'm sorry, this is a guy that presumably hates this book and somehow year after year is bombarded with it.
Starting point is 01:30:13 He's in place with it. He's forced to watch movies. He can't avoid anything about it. It's been following him around since he was a young child, like some sort of curse. And yeah, it's his cross to bear and I believe it will take it to his grave and he will never fully escape the clutches of Christmas Carol. Well, he's willingly going to this to talk about it more Yeah, I think I call I think I call it a Christmas story before that's known as an honest mistake That's known as an honest mistake everyone
Starting point is 01:30:46 Well, I would maybe on guys plus No, never mind because this comes out on the 24th We did have some trans Siberian working strict ticket master reviews, but I'll just leave that for next year Yeah, well, yeah you guys if you're really excited about that. You're like I really want to hear that don't worry in 12 months. We will Hey there might even be some more new ones then too. Yeah, I hope I don't complicate things a lot Brett Okay, well I was just right my own one-star review and squeeze it in there Yeah, they're not my favorite reviews. It's like the show was performed extremely well. The lighting sound technical development was great. Having said that it was
Starting point is 01:31:29 too loud and getting hit with the lights was a headache inducing again. This show wasn't made with me in mind. My kids and their kids would have probably loved it. The storyline though TSO does excellent music and a presentation of it, but one should never equate volume with quality, or mind piercing lighting for a great presentation. For that matter, I'm sure I am in the.001% with these thoughts, but you asked. Yeah, I mean, sometimes it's too loud.
Starting point is 01:31:58 We all know that that's some people who do reviews fucking hate it when it's too loud. Shut out Tony K. We miss you, Tony K. We want you to do more reviews, please. Tony K's. We wish you were alive. Did he pass away? Is that that? Please don't. I think he's passed on. He was an older gentleman who did reviews in my hometown of Vancouver and his big gripes were always music too loud, water too cold.
Starting point is 01:32:32 Yeah. Yeah. He doesn't like loud rock music either. He wanted elevator kind of music, so if there's bland music, if there's ever rock and roll music that was too loud or the water is too cold, the best part about him is that he concedes that he loves the food or that he had a great time, but he will still give it one star if the water is too cold. Oh my God. My favorite old guy complaint used to be the price of eggs. That used to delight me. I hear a lot of old guys who will just be at a breakfast place or in the grocery store. The price of eggs, whenever an old guy complains about it. It like it gives me real joy. Um, and I haven't really felt that for a lot of other old guy complaints, but going to a restaurant and saying that the water is too cold is one of the best old guy complaints I've ever heard of. Yeah, I love it too. It's one of my
Starting point is 01:33:18 favorite complaints I've ever heard water too cold. There's nothing you can do about it. It's like you'd be stunned if you heard that you'd be stunned I will say there is one more very short ticket master review of TSO by Joel, and it's very odds me The tickets by the way most people are like it cost two hundred and forty four dollars a ticket to go this show It's a lot worth every penny basically what shows. That's a lot. That is a lot. It is a lot It's a ton of money. I gotta pay for all those steam rollers. You gotta pay for the whole orchestra It's a lot of guys up there This guy goes kind of lame took too long and was a lot of the same stuff over and over one of my kids enjoyed
Starting point is 01:33:54 It the other was bored. I wish it was $20 They did this one drum beat and then they just kept repeating that drum beat for like four to five minutes on one song Which was fucking weird. It's also like are they just reviewing concerts I think like the biggest thing here is you're just reviewing the idea of a concert we discovered these concert reviews on ticketmaster and they are real well they're my second favorite type of review my favorite is the casino reviews of course the people who leave the casino jail reviews and leave a review in the parking lot or whatever you seen any jail reviews jail reviews
Starting point is 01:34:30 are good no yeah we haven't looked at jail reviews are good jail reviews are good the food here sucks the car the casino ones are great because they're like I lost a bunch of money wild I put in I didn't win anything, you know, that nobody cared. Nobody there cared. Nobody. Branson, you want to plug anything? You want podcasts? That's it. That's it. You know, it's the same. It's the same. It's been doing the same thing for seven years.
Starting point is 01:35:00 I don't know. If you don't know about it, you're probably not going to like it. I don't know. Yeah, fair you don't know about it, you're probably gonna like it. I don't know About this stuff I think it's the premise of it is something we don't even do the premise anymore Yeah, well, uh Merry Christmas everybody next week is The finally episode that's gonna drive you nuts. It's the wrestling guys episode. We are doing it as a Royal rumble style. It's one of the worst ideas we've ever come up with we're gonna have a number of guests They're all gonna show up every 10 minutes. We're gonna keep adding guests to it and But how are guests gonna get kicked off isn't that the point?
Starting point is 01:35:37 Yes, well is that Brian and I will decide when we want people to leave and we'll just ask them to leave That's the equivalent to if they bother us they sort of of overstay their welcome or whatever, then we'll boot them out. I imagine Stefan Heck is not going to make it too long, but we'll see. We'll see how it works out. And then for the people who are like, Hey, I want to hear like, that's going to be too crazy. I think we are going to do a wrestling guys episode on the guys plus that week as well. Yeah. On the patron, we'll do a real, I mean we're still going to do it. Just to be clear, we are, yeah, we are doing a real one too. It's just going to be hard to get to content when there's, you know, eight people
Starting point is 01:36:13 on it or whatever. Probably. I think it'll be easy. I think you guys, I think you'll have no problems. It's a, yeah, we'll do it as a shoot. Oh, I shoot on the, on the page, but it's, it's a work on the, it's not a work. It'll be a shoot. Okay. So we'll do, we'll do it as a shoot. Oh, I shoot on the, on the page. But it's, it's a work on the, it's not a work. It'll be a shoot. Okay. So we'll do, we'll see y'all next week. Goodbye. A shoot.
