Starting point is 00:03:08 If I don't get a goddamn Red Bull sponsorship out of the amount of sugar-free Red Bulls, I've been cranking it the past couple days. It's cooking. Oh, woo. Thanks for watching, guys. We fucking love you. Yes, we do. We love you guys.
Starting point is 00:03:19 We're here for the Christmas episode. Uh-huh. Which is great because it's gonna be out right fucking before Christmas. It's very Christmassy. That's the idea. We're not gonna drop it on July 4th, you fucking idiot. It's a Christmas special. It's coming out two days before Christmas.
Starting point is 00:03:30 Yeah, by Easter. But that's nice. I always liked when I was a kid. What's that? The Christmas specials that would come out right around Christmas. Yeah. Like, sometimes they would screw you. Like, you'd get like two weeks before Christmas.
Starting point is 00:03:41 Nah. I want it right there. It's December 15th. It kicks in for me. You're crazy. What? I want the whole season. I start Christmas after Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:03:51 Yeah, that's stupid. I mean, it was like fucking 65 degrees in New York this year. I picked out my tree wearing shorts. What are we doing? I'll take my ambrosia and go home. Please. Get that shit out of my fucking face. Were you an eggnog family?
Starting point is 00:04:05 No. We were a nutty Irish. Get drunk and fight. Yeah, we were. The drinks called... It's hard to have Christmas with no one speaking to each other, huh? Yeah. Well, there were certain years where some people were dry, which was better off for everybody.
Starting point is 00:04:18 No, we were a big nutty Irishman family. Nutty Irishmen. Which is what? It's like Frangelica. Two Notre Dame footballs. Couple of headlocks. And I write waggle. No, it's like Frangelica, Baileys, and maybe like Amaretto or something.
Starting point is 00:04:39 What is it with garbage that... I met Baileys. My family would talk about Baileys. Dude, my Aunt Patty would... So this was the start of the season. It was Thanksgiving. Everybody went to... Everybody went to Patties at the end of Thanksgiving.
Starting point is 00:04:54 You met Patty. I know Patty. Yeah, Firecracker to have Patty. She's a little spark plug that way. I tell ya. So... She don't take no guff. We'd all go to Patties for like dessert and call.
Starting point is 00:05:04 Everybody had their own dinner or whatever. Everybody would meet a Patty. Coffee, desserts, the whole. And we'd pick the Pollyanna for Christmas. All the kids would pick the Pollyanna. Same thing. Same exact thing. Crazy.
Starting point is 00:05:13 But they would... The season for me started when they came out with a Waterford crystal pitcher. A nutty Irishman. I don't know if it was Waterford. Might have been off the back of a truck. But... It was a mixing bowl. It might do that.
Starting point is 00:05:24 It was a punch bowl. I mean, as a kid, this thing was like $50,000 in my hand. I've never seen a glass pitcher in my life that didn't have fruit punch stains on it. If it wasn't powdered ice tea, I wasn't fucking with it. But they used to come around with this. And I remember being like, wait till I get my hands on that. I was like, I was six-year-old. I want that fucking ha-ha juice that the adults are drinking.
Starting point is 00:05:47 A little scratch of nutmeg on there, if I can set me straight. Come out with ice and they would pour it. Nutty Irishman. I loved it. That was big for us. I wanted to do something today, but we have a very busy day. Yes, we do. We have a very busy day.
Starting point is 00:05:59 We have presents to give. We have questions to get to. We have goddamn Christmas to celebrate here. Shout out to the holiday season, baby. Shout out to all the Jewish people out there. Happy holidays. Happy holidays. Celebrated with my wife and my in-laws this season.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Very nice. Did you? Via Zoom, yeah. We let the candles. Youngest guy in the family's got to let the candles. I let the candles. I got an old bird. Are you the youngest?
Starting point is 00:06:20 In the household. Really? With me and my wife, yeah. You let the candle. You don't fuck it up, did you? No. Goddamn Jesus Christ. I'm blowing it out, making a wish.
Starting point is 00:06:29 You got it in a sheet cake? You better not be trick candles, all right? Fool me once. It's just those sparklers like in clubs and they bring the bottles out. A bottle of great, bottle of nutty Irishman, please. What'd you get for, Hanukkah? Anything? Nothing.
Starting point is 00:06:50 They don't do it. It's like, I don't think they do it. It's more of like just, they do it just like one dinner, one night, typically. You know what I mean? Like they're not doing like the eight crazy nights, the presents. I can't understand. It's, I just, I don't think this has bred in me from being Catholic and a dirt bag and just selfish all the time.
Starting point is 00:07:08 Sure. But if there was a holiday out there. Uh-huh. That, that where presents were given out. Uh-huh. There's no way I'm not fucking getting involved in that. What do you mean? Like there's no way, even, even if I was Jewish, I would still, I would, I would, first of
Starting point is 00:07:22 all, no Hanukkah presents. Come on. What are we doing here? I'm saying as adults. Yeah, whatever. As kids they did. Yes, kids they did it. But I'm saying now as adults, it's like, I don't want to open up eight shitty presents.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Yeah, eight different times. Ah, socks. Great. Ah, keychain. Ah, no way. No, I love new socks. I like getting new socks into one of these and stuff. Yeah, well.
Starting point is 00:07:42 A little something. I know what I'm saying. As an adult, I don't want to do, you know, I don't want to do that. Did you get the ladies something for Christmas? I did. Yeah. I can't say because this is coming out before. But also, it's, it's getting delivered today.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Ooh. And I'm out all day. Pizza? I was, seamless. Shut up. Pepperoni, honey. And it came with an ottoman. A little table.
Starting point is 00:08:10 Okay. I was a Kevin James joke from back in the day. Who would repeat someone? Oh, ottoman. Or you buy a jack or you buy electronics and it comes with a little packets. Who buys a TV going? Oh, cool. It came with chicklets because it says do not eat.
Starting point is 00:08:25 Whatever. Guys, for more of that comedy, check out 2002's Kevin James. Okay. What was that? No, let's go back to that insult that never got off the fucking runway. Captain got hijacked. Take me to Cuba. Yeah, hijacked at the gate.
Starting point is 00:08:44 I got it delivered, but it's like she's going to see it. She's going to know she's got a sign, you know, so it's like it's the cats probably by the time this airs in tomorrow or whatever, the cats probably out of the bag. But I just was like, yo, don't look at the fucking box. Never. No cats are ever out of the bag. It's secrecy. That's always my house.
Starting point is 00:09:01 It was always about the show. The presents were usually set up downstairs. Of course. You know what I mean? Weird if you're bringing them out of the trunk. Yeah, they're set up downstairs. Then there was one hidden somewhere. I go look under the couch.
Starting point is 00:09:15 But we had to wait. I couldn't go rushing down there at six o'clock. Patty be all over. Of course, of course. I had to make sure I had my good pajamas on. She combed out my hair. My brother couldn't wait. My brother was, you know, ants in the pants.
Starting point is 00:09:27 I wouldn't sleep at all. First of all, he would go down. He'd go down at like six a.m. and do some recon. You know what I mean? He'd be down there in a ghillie suit. Night mission goggles. It'd be like Mission Impossible. Not fucking touching anything.
Starting point is 00:09:43 He'd come up. He'd be like, I saw a helmet. Something's big down a pike. Something's coming down a pike. I saw a helmet. Oh, it's a go-kart, a bike, a moped. Somebody's getting something with wheels on it, though. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:56 I'm sorry. Did you guys ever find the secret stash before Christmas? Yeah, me and my brother. I think it was starter jackets or something. And I didn't know. And I just listened to him. He was a little pricked at one. So he went up and he found jackets.
Starting point is 00:10:09 And we came down, if I recall, in the jackets on like December 3rd. You idiot. I didn't know. I was like, oh, he's doing it. I mean, he's an asshole. Yeah. Well, he came down.
Starting point is 00:10:20 Oh, my mom. That was a tough shot. It was like one of the early Christmases after the divorce. She was like, you fucking piece of shit, ruin a fucking surprise. Do you know what I think? Better than Christmas? Ruining Christmas.
Starting point is 00:10:36 We ruined Christmas Eve one time. The piece dropped the F-bomb on the way to my Aunt Karen's. Nice. And it was like, it was like, oh, we all, because she don't curse that much, really. And she dropped, she dropped, you fucking ingrates or something. That's what I like to hear. And it was like the record stop.
Starting point is 00:10:51 We were all like, I'm so sorry. I'll go to mass right now. I apologize. Go put $5 on a poor box. I'll make some presents the next day when everybody makes up. It's like family makeup sex. It's nice. Oh, man, you are so fucked up.
Starting point is 00:11:02 It's not even funny. We legit ruined multiple Christmases. I had to have talked about this last year. But one year, my mom, she's fucking slave and working. My dad's traveling. She wraps up all the presents. She puts them in the dining room. She goes out to work one night.
Starting point is 00:11:18 I'm sitting there watching TV. My brother walks in. He's probably 13. I'm 11. He walks in holding the brand new shoe. I'm like, what? Just one shoe? Sneaker.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Like, just show me. I'm like, what the fuck was that? He's like, come here. He figured out a way to take a razor blade and cut the tape and slide everything out. Fucking sneakers, this, that. Sega Genesis that I'd been wanting. Sure. All this stuff.
Starting point is 00:11:42 The whole nine yards. We literally, we had two Christmases. We were in there. We were making popcorn. Eggnog looking through everything where she was gone. Put everything back real slick, right? That Christmas is where you caught the acting bug. What?
Starting point is 00:11:56 Oh my God. New shoes. Mother, how did you know? I knew then it was next for Broadway. You like to say, yeah, I like sneakers. Oh my God. Sneakers. How will I go on?
Starting point is 00:12:12 I do declare, mother. A couple of days later, my mom notices this. Obviously we get home from school. My dad's home at the time he was working about 400 miles away. Usually didn't come back until Friday. It's like a Wednesday. He's there at four o'clock. We're done.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Yeah, something's up. Your mother's over at your aunt Colleen's ball in her eyes out. He was fucking ruined Christmas. You're done. He's like, did you think we weren't going to notice? And fucking dude, they fucked with us for like three weeks. Oh, Christmas morning. Oh, Chinese water torches.
Starting point is 00:12:44 Sure would have done that. Tar Fetter you. What's going on here? You read your fingernails pulled up by your mother. Put like dirty laundry in all the boxes. Fucked with the Senate. I didn't get this. Didn't get that.
Starting point is 00:12:58 Yada, yada, yada. Like just legit. Like that's how I look back and I'm like, how did you stay in this? Yeah. We were fucking brutal. Oh yeah. Brutal. I thought it was a different time.
Starting point is 00:13:09 It was the 20s for crying out loud. Everything was in black and white. We didn't know what was happening. God damn Kaiser was on the move. Very trashy. Yeah. But let's wheel. Let's hop into it.
Starting point is 00:13:25 Let's exchange our gifts. Let's do it. I mean, Foley, first of all, I heard you've been poking around some of my personal friends. How do you know that? Because I was talking to one of them and he goes, did Foley give you your gift? I don't know what it is. He goes, did Foley give you your gift yet? He said, he's been outsourcing this?
Starting point is 00:13:41 Oh yeah. I do my research. Okay. I like to know who I'm in business with. Also, and then it was like. I didn't know you had a condo and bokeh. I'll tell you that. We were in here like all fucking getting ready and everything, the special.
Starting point is 00:13:53 Just all fucking working. If you can see behind Foley, he's made a false wall of fucking wrapping paper to hide my gift, which I don't know what it is. I don't know. I kept this thing alive all these weeks. I'll tell you that. It's rattling like Jurassic Park. You just see the leaves are out on.
Starting point is 00:14:12 If a crane comes up, it's half a Toby. Yeah. I did some stupid right. He shouldn't have said anything. Flip, keep it zipped. Yeah. Shout out to Flip. Shout out to Flip.
Starting point is 00:14:21 All right. So how do you want to do this? Well, first of all, we should say thank you so much for all the support. Last year, we couldn't even afford gifts for each other. That's also pretty crazy. I wanted to, yeah. A year ago, just to show how fucking all some of the almighty garages, all the fucking garages, like last year, to decorate this, and I think we bought Toby Hot Wheels
Starting point is 00:14:38 was Toby's gift. Oh, yeah. That's right. And I bought them at the Fast and the Furious. I bought them at the Duane Read around the corner, and I had $80 in my personal bank account, and I spent $60 to decorate to the same lights as this. Yeah. And to get Toby Hot Wheels.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Now, I think Toby's going to like his presents a little bit better. This year, now the kids are a little flush. Kids got a little bit of cash on them. I mean, the man's wearing a $3,000 suit. I am returning it. If the IRS is, it will be returned. When you were a kid, you knew which Christmases were the good ones. When you had a couple to look them over.
Starting point is 00:15:14 What do you mean? You knew when things were flush. Oh, yeah. And things were, eh. Well, I had the two different Christmases. So I had, my dad was always going heavy. My dad was like, here's the BB gun. Here's the minibike.
Starting point is 00:15:27 Danny's got a go-kart. He was really, you know, vying for the start. Is that me? No, it's not. Okay. Oh, this is crazy. All right. How do you want to do this?
Starting point is 00:15:38 You want to give T-Bone first? Like you said, we're the parents. We got to give T-Bone? Yes. We give T-Bone as gifts first. Okay. Well, then I have to, I'm going to email. T-Bone.
Starting point is 00:15:46 T-Bone is going to come over and sit with us. Bring your phone over, T-Bone. I got to email you your present. What the fuck? What do you mean? I'll get you something else today. We'll go to the store. The kid's got to have something open.
Starting point is 00:16:00 He will. Relax. Yeah, an email. Why do you got to shit on the present? Why not just fucking roll with it, you fucking fat idiot? Yeah, there we go. Come on. More of this.
Starting point is 00:16:10 You only operate in chaos. It's crazy. If everybody's ha— Look how nervous he is on camera. T-Bone. I hate this. I'm wearing this shitty sweater. It really feels like Christmas.
Starting point is 00:16:19 No, you should put the t-shirt on and it looked like you just came down from Christmas morning. Yeah, I got sweatpants on. Our dirtbag son home from college. Oh, man. The comments are going to be lightened, T-Bone. Oh, this sucks. Ass. All right, let's do it.
Starting point is 00:16:33 All right. T-Bone, open up your email. Okay. This is a two-part—this is a two-part—or one-part gift. Okay. It's an invoice. I owe you $3,000. Hey, what the fuck?
Starting point is 00:16:49 Vamp. This shit ain't—this shit is not refreshing. Hey, T-Bone, cut this out. All right, I can just show you two. Oh, here we go, here we go. Hang on. Thank you for purchasing tickets for Pup—oh, you got me Pup Tickets. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:17:08 Tickets to his favorite band in New York City and the day off. Oh, my God. Thank you so much. How many tickets? Two tickets. Two tickets. Which means I now have six tickets to that show. Ah!
Starting point is 00:17:19 Shit named a star after a loser. He needs two. I'm selling. And why do you get two? Then he's got to choose between me or you. Who goes? You weren't going to go. I have never even heard of these places.
Starting point is 00:17:33 I would go if there was—if it was only one ticket left, then you were going to go. I bought four tickets so that the three of us could go and bring it in. Well, why don't you say something? I thought I did. Wait, that's not our present, is it? What? Oh, good. I also got you tickets to see my favorite band.
Starting point is 00:17:46 What the fuck? Well, now you don't have the night off. You're working. T-Bone really fucked this up. Oh, that rules. Thank you, man. Thank you. Mine came with a card.
Starting point is 00:17:58 Okay. Okay. All right. Let's do it. That's for you. Thank you. Merry Christmas, and I love you. Oh, I love you guys, too.
Starting point is 00:18:06 And great job on the fucking—on the special killing it. You killed it. T-Bone. Making it funny. My headphones are going out. That really is annoying. Wishing you a joyous season. T-Bone, for when you can't sleep, love you, pal.
Starting point is 00:18:20 I'm going to take a picture. I like this right now. Toby did a very foley thing. It was imperative that you read the card out loud. You have to. You had to read the card out loud. Well, it's an audio, video, medium. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:18:34 They can't exactly see it. Be a band clip. No, I meant just in general when I was a kid. Oh, my God. What? You got me a switch, dude? It's a knockoff, but still. Whoa, holy shit.
Starting point is 00:18:45 It's a Willard. It only plays one game. Kill the Americans. Oh, my God. Thank you, Foley. You're welcome, buddy. Holy shit. I figure because you had said that you were having trouble sleeping.
Starting point is 00:18:55 Yes. And I said, you know, what do you have? What do you have in the room with you? You said I take my phone in there. Sometimes I'll take a tablet. So now you don't have to sit on the couch. You can lay in there and play your games until you fall asleep. Thank you so much, man.
Starting point is 00:19:09 I didn't get you any games. You downloaded these days. Because you download them these days. And I figure, you know, Star Wars Spider-Man. I don't want to impose that on you, so you get what you want. And it's the OLED so we can hook up to the TV. Oh, my. Thank you so much, dude.
Starting point is 00:19:23 You're very welcome. Oh, my God. Thank you, guys. That's fucking very thoughtful. I appreciate it so much. Of course. I have one more, like, stocking stuff for type-john. Oh, sick.

Starting point is 00:19:59 Also, we might have to borrow $200 to tip the door cash. Oh, my God. Just because I had any cash. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:20:09 Just because I had any cash. We'll cash poor at the moment. Holy shit. Thank you. Go down there. Going down to North Carolina to see your family. Gonna have a good time. Take the old brought out to an outback or something like that.

Starting point is 00:34:02 And we were like, Kippy needs a hobby, dude. He needs something to fucking cool his brain off. Never. Yeah, and I figured since you played in a band in high school, you know how to play the bass. Sure. You'd sit there and it sounds awesome. You're going to love it.
Starting point is 00:34:17 Yeah. It's really good. The only thing I didn't get you was headphones. Because I didn't really know what you'd like. So I know you got the broad downstairs busting your balls, put the headphones on on a Sunday, sit and have your scotch play a little bit on something for you to unwind. Sure. I appreciate that.
Starting point is 00:34:33 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm just also waiting for you to be like, oh, I also got a guitar and trying to get the band back together. Next thing you know, I'm playing backup and Foley in the bozos or something. I mean, I just want to lead Bozo.

Starting point is 00:34:59 To all. To all. We love you. That's great. Now, I mean, the homies on there that their Patreon wrote in, they got a bunch of Christmas stuff they want to get into. Guys, so as you know, when you join a Patreon, we will answer your garbage questions, stories, we gotcha.
Starting point is 00:35:14 As a hum, the Christmas is a big crux of the show, the holiday season. You set the time on this? I don't think so. Okay. What time is it right now? I think that's like an off air thing we can do is we're trying to broadcast. I mean, that's insane. Hey, man, was it toy?
Starting point is 00:35:28 You just stopped me from broadcasting the show to ask me if I set the time and then what time was it? Like, we're not in the middle of a show. You're getting Christmas morning Foley. I check out. Oh, God. Once I start unwrapping GIG. Where are the cutlets?
Starting point is 00:35:40 Ah, the Christmas cutlets. There's always quiche in our household. Oh, yeah, Foley, by the way, I forgot to mention, I did hire a bunch of dudes to dress up like Cobra Kai Ninjas to attack you so you can live out your childhood fantasy of being an 80s hero, by the way. That's pretty good. That would be awesome. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:00 And they're going to put a cut off leather jacket on you before they attack you. So you look good while doing it. A little crazy European escape room in Paris. My girl gets kidnapped. I got to track her down. I probably just move on about my day, to be honest. Kidding. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:19 Okay, let's get into some, that there, Patreon questions from the homies. Shout out to the homies. Merry Christmas to the homies and all the bozos. We love all of you. Love yous. Really do. This one isn't a question. This one's just from Tommy.
Starting point is 00:36:32 One year, my dad got my mom a vibrator. That's a tough start to the morning. He orders all of his gifts through a catalog. He thought he was ordering a back massager when it opened it up and fell on the ground. And we all just, that's, I mean. That's awesome. Imagine, that's, that's going to re, you can't like then do stockings. But you can't do the scratchers.
Starting point is 00:36:53 You know what I mean? They're your mom's fucking screaming up in the bedroom. The stockings are stuffed and so is your mom. Yeah. What's more awkward that hitting the floor or her grabbing it and head up. What a batteries included in this. She's upstairs with an extension cord. She takes the batteries out of the remote.
Starting point is 00:37:12 That was always. You kids go make snowmen. That was always big, the batteries. Batteries the day of. My mom, God lover always had that shit ready to go. Yeah. Ready to go. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:24 There was always, I was like always. Because there's nothing worse. That's why I'm playing with the watch. Yeah. Once you get it, you want to play. What are we doing here? Yeah. I once ruined Christmas.
Starting point is 00:37:33 Because my. I'm doing this Christmas. What are you talking about? My brother got something that I didn't get. And I just kept playing with it. It was a little jet. I loved it. I was just playing with it.
Starting point is 00:37:45 For some reason, the tension between me and him and me and him fighting over it and this like that, that my parents got into a big fight. My dad like took offers, you know, like when I have to get some air. And I remember that year my dad gave my mom a Lionel Richie record. I can't remember whether it was dancing. We're knocking boots after that. Pictures were falling off the wall. And makeup sex was hot.
Starting point is 00:38:08 And no vibrator needed up there. Big man was taking care of business. No, but they got into a huge argument. My mom was like upstairs laying in bed, just listening to that record over and over again. And my dad was like out like shoveling snow. Geez. Then we eventually came back together. That's what is about dysfunction and about crazy is it makes the coming back together
Starting point is 00:38:28 of the family that much sweeter. No, you can just stay together. You're in it now. Yeah, that's insane. You can just psychos. You're in now. Ruin Christmas. That's the best Christmas ever.
Starting point is 00:38:38 I vow to it. All right. This one's from Daddy. Oh, so anyone related to a Santa at the mall? That's a tough gig. That's bad. That guy usually drives a school bus during the regular time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:52 He's always like peace and stuff. Oh, yeah. We had, I've said to the floor. Take a CFL umpire. You're not doing that fool. That's fucking part of my life. You got a night gig. We always used to do, we get a, we have a big Christmas party for the Sullivan side of

No. No. He would, we have to rent a hall in Bridesburg and he would show up and he would show up tuned out of his mind.
Starting point is 00:39:22 You rent him for like an hour. It comes in, you know, wreaking a booze or whatever. And uh, he's like, he's got like the stains in his beard. He's got like his pants are full. You're like, dude, you don't have much long left. Smell to a child was a big thing. Oh, that's a big breath or something. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:42 That'll burn, that'll burn in your brain. If you were going to convince me that you were Santa Claus. Yeah. You had to smell like cookies or something like that. I couldn't smell. I couldn't smell the walk and roll on you that you had for lunch at the fucking food court. Burping up a lamb burger or something. What is that?
Starting point is 00:40:01 Orange chicken. What the fuck, man? Oh, God. Just make with the Transformers bozo. Yeah. Let's go. What the fuck? I didn't as a kid.

Starting point is 00:44:45 Yeah. Someone's driving to the 7-Eleven. Yeah. I got to go to the 7-Eleven and warm mixture to redeem it. Anybody going to Jersey today? That's always trashy too. Bring back lottery if the one state's got a high jackpot. They stopped doing it.
Starting point is 00:45:04 They're all like commingled now, but back in the day when the big jackpots, the mega millions was in Jersey, we used to drive across for sure to go. Yeah. Let's go to Jersey. Get a couple of fucking mega Millie tickets, grab a Clark bar, a couple of newspapers. Um, yeah. Scratchers are big, big. And then that fucking dust is everywhere.

Starting point is 00:47:04 It's like a Catholic extravaganza. It's the shit my aunts pray for. The only time in my family anybody was holding up a candle fucking Steve Perry was singing. I'll tell you that right now. He was belting out a ballad. Your mom at her top all. Sitting chicken on my dad's shoulders. Sitting chicken.
Starting point is 00:47:22 Sitting chicken. I love you. Hey, Bon Jovi, get a little of these. Please be 18. It's too buried in my DM's divine, but someone DM me. Do you have to enter the church address into the GPS on Christmas? Someone sent that to me too. It means that you don't go a year.
Starting point is 00:47:42 You're so far out of the loop. Ours was at the end of the block. When we lived in Wilkesbury and I was a little kid, it was smaller. It was midnight mass and then before that we go to Mary Catherine's and get our little presence there. Yeah. Nice. It was real quiet and not solemn, but like, you know, it was like, it felt like the 50s
Starting point is 00:47:59 when I look back on it. Yeah. You know what I mean? Up there. But then we moved down to Wilkesburg. Well, I mean, it wasn't that far away, but yeah. It was the 80s. That'd be like it felt like it was 2004 to me.
Starting point is 00:48:11 That is the 50s. Well, we moved down to the 78. Well, we moved down to the suburbs. It was a mass at like five on Christmas Eve and that was like, that was like who's seeing who. That was checking out the chicks and their Christmas stuff. You know what I mean? We moved to the Catholic school that didn't go to your school.
Starting point is 00:48:29 That would be a church. You're checking them out. Sure. You're in the back hanging out goofing around with your cuss. It's getting in trouble. Yeah. Yeah. We did that too.
Starting point is 00:48:37 We're knocking down Hershey Kisses or something. On Christmas Eve, we would all go to my aunt Karen's in Port Richmond and I think it's like Philly all the churches or at least in that area of Philly, all the churches are like region like they have like the German-Hungarian church, the Polish church, like all that shit. We would go to the, I think we go to the German-Hungarian church, I think that's what it was or the Ukrainians, whatever the fuck it was, we would go and it'd be like me and like 25 cousins all from the age of like 14 to 3 and it was just May.
Starting point is 00:49:07 I mean. Dipping out before communion too. Yeah. I'm not sitting in that parking lot. Take that. Laugh in fun. Just the whole fucking night. People running out, catch a burning when no one's looking type thing.
Starting point is 00:49:17 Yeah, it was nice. That was fantastic. That was Christmas Eve but then I don't go anymore. I stopped going to Mass a while ago. Yeah. What do we do? I mean, what do we do? But while in college.
Starting point is 00:49:29 A midnight Mass is nice. It's good. It's fun because you're all like, yeah, we're not supposed to be here. We all came together. Smell the incense. It's nice. But especially when you run like freshman in college or whatever, you come back and you see like all these people.
Starting point is 00:49:39 That's what I'm talking about. You're like, oh, look at that. Get a little. That's what I'm talking about. Look at the stems on blonde. Yeah. No shit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:49:47 Look who developed. You got a nice pair of khakis and a fucking blue blazer on. Yeah. Fucking killing it. Mm-hmm. Crush you. Looking sharp. You look like in that jacket.
Starting point is 00:49:57 You look like you sell used Christmas cheer on the 26th. I got to you look like you visit lonely people on Christmas and try to make them seem like if everything's okay. Man, that was wordy. But it just might visit that joke on Christmas and Jacob Marley, huh? Christmas cover. Fair enough. Fair enough.
Starting point is 00:50:21 What? The panic on your face that people wouldn't know what you were talking about. Christmas carol. We all familiar with Dickens work. Popular Paul. All right. This one's from Gary. Ever drink all the milk and he spelled it milk.
Starting point is 00:50:35 Ever drink all the milk Christmas Eve for an excuse to go to the store Christmas day and smoke pot. Telling you, man, that was big in those days of like, oh, you're playing chess, not chat you're fucking. Hey, tomorrow for someone's like, oh, we're out of you have taco season. I'll go. I'll go. Like no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:50:57 I'll go. I'll go. We're at a mustard. I'm on it. Exactly. I'm under the store. Don't worry about it. I'm out there fucking catching heavy heaters.
Starting point is 00:51:05 Yeah. Nice. You know, that while I didn't have it, I had to go down the street to super fresh. They didn't have it. Take a ride. Take a tow. Come back in the Christmas spirit. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:14 It was always like, Hey, why do you and Danny both have to go to pick up soda? He's going to watch a car. You know what I mean? These guys at the beer distributor, I'm getting real cute lately. I need some backup. What would you do? Hold on. I'm holding.
Starting point is 00:51:30 I made fun of you. Did you even open presents on Christmas Eve? Did you? We would open one present on Christmas Eve. Right. A little one. Yeah. I know you had to do it because your mom was working and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:51:41 But that was when we were older. Right. As kids, it was Christmas morning. Okay. It was like, junior high or high, but like all like the. There is people that like Christmas Eve is like the big thing. Oh, then we sleep in and that's that. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:51:54 I can kind of like, not of like, because I do it, but like, I do think there is something a little more. See, it's the edging that you like. Well, that's what you like. I think there's, seems like a personal problem. The anticipation. I do think. I'm going to open these presents spit on me first though.
Starting point is 00:52:13 Somebody hold my nose. Now who's going to call me a whore? Why open these presents? Because I've been a naughty, naughty boy. You come down on assless chaps, a ball gagging. I'm ready for my stocking stuffers. Fucking creepo. Somebody put on the East German hardcore.
Starting point is 00:52:37 Okay. First. Oh yeah. I can appreciate as an adult or like even older that there is more of a at night, it's dark out. The lights, the lights mean that much more. There's more of an ambiance at night. For sure.
Starting point is 00:52:58 I'll give you that. You got the fire going. There's a glow on the light. You see the neighbors trees in the distance throughout the window. All that shit is better at night. There's just something at night. You're having a cocktail. I'd say it's more, it's more merry.
Starting point is 00:53:11 It's more cheerful. You're watching Seinfeld. You got friends reruns on. But also what we'll do is we'll have the bag of trash and then also if we got a fire cook and we just launch it in there and torch it. Jesus. Yeah. Not a whole bunch, but enough to be like, ah, here we go.
Starting point is 00:53:25 The bag? The plastic bag? No, the wrapping paper. Okay. Just put the wrapping. Just fucking crumble it up. You're throwing plastic in there. No.
Starting point is 00:53:33 Fuming everybody out. Who knows. Everybody knocks out for a couple of days. What did you guys eat Christmas morning? Christmas morning would be like a spread, like, you know, eggs, bacon, sausage, maybe some pancakes if that was preference, but typically, you know, a standard continental. We've discussed it. The quiche was the only thing that we had.
Starting point is 00:53:52 And then later on, somewhere in the early 2000s, a dish became very popular among the garbaggio of the time was the French toast casserole. I don't know what that is. I was familiar with this. No. Dude, it's like chopped. It's like bread pudding. It's like French toast.
Starting point is 00:54:10 I never got that either. You're nuts. Oh, huge bread pudding. Is there pineapple involved in that? It could be. I'm out. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:20 Love pineapple. I might be thinking of pineapple stuffing. Either way, I'm out. You're talking about pineapple upside down cake with the cherries? No, I think it's pineapple. That's awesome, too. Pineapple stuffing. My mom would always make.
Starting point is 00:54:28 I don't know about that. I still don't. I've carried it into about 25 Christmas Eve's. I don't know what the fuck it is. I walk into my hand here. I remember my one buddy trying to push carrot apple raisin salad on me that is mommy. I don't even. I don't like any of those things.
Starting point is 00:54:42 None. The fourth thing, carrot apple raisin salad. I am out. I got you a nerd parfait. Yeah. Hey, here's a wedgie. Can I get me beat up? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:54:56 I used to push it all the time. No bueno. Uh-uh. Not doing that. Quiche, coffee, mimosa, Baileys and the coffee. Yeah. Baileys and the coffee, then, for sure. My brother does these, uh, his famous pork roll sandwiches in the morning.
Starting point is 00:55:08 Yeah. That's a big Philly, Jersey thing. Oh, Christmas Day. Taylor Ham Pork Roll. Oh, it's got them lined up just on regular hamburger buns. Baileys. In North Carolina, we do country ham and biscuits, fire. Nice.
Starting point is 00:55:20 That's good. And roadkill. Whatever the catch of the day is. Stop by the remissal building, see we're having for dinner. You guys bang your cousins on Christmas or? Uh, this one I remember from one of my cousins as a kid, which always made me wonky. I don't understand. This is from Wren.
Starting point is 00:55:43 I guess I get it as an adult a little bit more, but from, uh, for Christmas, does your ex or any ex still show up to family functions? Ooh. Were they like, knocked it, they were like, really hit it off with the family, so they show up, that kind of, they're stopped by with a present. It's real. For any of my exes to want to come to my Christmas. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:56:03 They wouldn't just have to hit it off. They would have to be, I don't fucking know, in a band together or something like that. No, not at all. That would be awkward. Yeah, for sure. You fat fuck. I didn't know he was going to be here. It's my house, what the fuck.
Starting point is 00:56:24 My family always side it with them. Yeah, you stink. Fair enough. No, I do think, uh, I remember my cousin had this girl, and now I think it was more of like an on again, off again type thing. On again, off again is all right. I'm listening. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:42 But she would show up and I'd be like, we'd be like, what the fuck? Like, yeah, no, we're not together. I'm like, well then get her ass. She ain't in a Pollyanna. All right. I don't want her low balling me if she pulls my name. This bitch taking a value of real estate in the hoagie depth. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:56:56 Get her out of here. That's always weird. Another big thing too, trashy thing. We've gotten a bunch from like, you know, a lot of repetitive things that I just want to touch on. Um, the putting a smaller box in a bigger box is bad. Like, if you're like, if I'm giving you a watch and I put it in a shoe box, like put the watch box.
Starting point is 00:57:13 It was cool in the 90s. One time, I think. Oh, you got me. That type thing. Yeah. Fucking kick rocks. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:57:24 Fucking teasing me here. Let's go. Let's get the fucking stealing the swap. Trash. Trash. It's a good time to get an uncle mad at you for sure. For sure. That had, that almost, that ended up, that almost ended a couple of fucking Christmases early.
Starting point is 00:57:39 We did it. We did it. All my uncles did it. Yeah. All my aunts, the aunts and uncles did it. Like all the kids would sit around and watch and laugh. And it was like a huge event. What kind of stakes are we talking about on the table here?
Starting point is 00:57:49 I think like $50 thing or whatever. You know, come on. So somebody would get like, you know, a nice. That's the booze talking. Set a steak knife. And somebody would get like a blender. They'd be pissed. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:58:00 Set an ice atoners or something. They'd be all fed up. Oh, shout out to the ice atoner. Dan Marino sold a lot of those babies. That guy can move some leather. Not wrong with those things. The way they feel on the steering wheel of a Miata. Come on.
Starting point is 00:58:13 Oh, yeah. I think you can only wear those in a Miata for sure. Change bond. All right. Let's see here. You're not a gloves guy, are you? No. And I saw the guy yesterday.
Starting point is 00:58:23 So this really bothered me. This is a little off topic, but it really bothered me. It was two couples in their late 30s or 30s, like no kids. And they were like walking and talking. You could tell it was like a wife. Hey, we're going to go for a walk with Steve and Cindy type thing. And it was the two wives were in the front and the two guys were in the back. And it was one guy who didn't want to be there.
Starting point is 00:58:44 Dressed like normal. Just like a Pico jeans, whatever. Just like, yeah. And the other guy had like the fucking ski jacket on the neck. The hat and ski gloves. Walking down like fucking Broadway. I'm like 55 degrees yesterday. I know.
Starting point is 00:58:59 I'm like, dude, he had the backpack. You look like he was going on a trek. I'm like, this guy fucking stinks. Bad. If you, that's like, you can't do gloves too early. You look like a fucking bozo. You're fumbling your phone. You can't get the door knob.
Starting point is 00:59:11 Where will you live now? Unless you're, unless you're one of the guys on the trash truck. Unless you work for the sanitation department. You're wearing gloves once or twice a year. Yeah. If it's like, and that's like. And they suck. If you're outside a bunch.
Starting point is 00:59:25 If you're like, oh, I'm going to be outside. Shovel to side. Shovel to walk. If you're commuting or something, there's no need. Keep your hands in your pockets like a fucking gentleman. Fucking crazy. Yeah. You fucking weirdos.
Starting point is 00:59:35 Take that T-bone. This one's from Bernie Sanders. You're slowly putting gloves behind your back. This one's from Bernie Sanders, homerun of a name. Do you refer to the miniature alcohol bottles as shooters or nips? Either way, is it garbage to get them as a stocking stuffer? Real garbage to get as a stocking stuffer. Depends on your age.
Starting point is 00:59:58 No. No? No. No age. What if it's something classy like Golden Schlager or something? No. There's no age. Real golden there.
Starting point is 01:00:07 There's no age where those are classy. We refer to them as airplane bottles. We say nips. Nips. We had the little nips. Nips. Nips. Nips would be the ponies.
Starting point is 01:00:16 It would be like a rolling rock. The seven ounce Jones? Yeah. A bottleizer nip. No, they're ponies. That's the name of them. Pony. I think.
Starting point is 01:00:26 The nips, I think, refer to the airplane bottles, which are trash. I'm trashy because I find them so fun. I've seen. I'm like, I'll buy one. If they have them at the checkout counter, I'm like, I'll take two of these for the ride out. When you're a kid and you go to. Follow transportation.
Starting point is 01:00:41 When you're a kid and you go to like the wine store and liquor store with your mom or dad when they're getting shit for like a party. And you'll see like somebody in line ahead of you that's getting like a few of them. Even as a kid, I was like, this guy's down on the walk. Yeah. I was going to. That just happened when I went to the store. This guy ain't getting skis this year.
Starting point is 01:00:59 I'm paying that. I just just happened around the. Holy shit. I'm so sorry to interrupt. One year, my mom gave my brother water skis and we didn't own a boat. Oh my God. What the fuck? Holy shit.
Starting point is 01:01:16 Have you ever water skied before? Yeah. We lived on a lake, but across the street from the lake, all of our neighbors had boats. And they were like, yeah, that's the. That's the saddest shit I've ever heard. Oh, thanks. Go. That stinks.
Starting point is 01:01:36 Get him one ski pole. Yeah. That's trash. Holy. It's like. It's like buying somebody skateboard wheels without a skateboard. Ah, here. Thanks.
Starting point is 01:01:48 Did he ever use them? Yeah. In the living room. In the bathtub, maybe. Get out of here. It was a master of the green screen. That's stinks. That's trashy.
Starting point is 01:02:03 Water skis are garbage anyway. Water skiing trash. They always look like they're from the 20s. Yeah. Especially the guys that do it with no skis. Get the fuck out of here. Yeah. We used to be a.
Starting point is 01:02:16 There was a while we were a water skiing family. Where? We would go up the mountains. Lake Walton-Paul-Pack. And. You're after a water skiing? Ice. I mean, I was a little fat kid.
Starting point is 01:02:26 I didn't have the upper body strength to get up. Did you ever get up? No. I was probably six or seven. Yeah. I've done it like two or three times. Never gotten up. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:34 No, never. Can't even understand the geometry. Yeah. It's a lot of upper body strength that I just didn't. I had a lot of. I didn't have much upper body strength. I had a lot of lower body weight. So it was tough.
Starting point is 01:02:43 They kind of counteracted each other. I was. I had a dumper on me. Hell of a third-cutter on this kid. Kim Cage hitting around the lake. All right. Let's run through a couple of no here. And then we got to go.
Starting point is 01:02:59 It's been a holiday. It's been a happy holiday season. Yes, it has. Let's see. This is from Thomas. Did your parents ever make you go caroling around the corner at Christmas time? My parents did it. We stunk.
Starting point is 01:03:14 They made out. I went one time. I remember there was like a group of people in the neighborhood or whatever. Like all the kids were getting it right away. I'm like, I'll give it at your mixtape. Yo, yo, yo. I was like, I'll go to see what this is all about. But I'm hanging in the back.
Starting point is 01:03:30 I'm not storming the beach with you idiots. Not being the first man through the door. That guy never makes it. And I hung back. We went to like one house as I got to say. And I, nope. I'll be at, I'll be at home with some cocoa. Just in the winter, you open up that door and you smell like their house smell comes out on the porch.
Starting point is 01:03:47 I never, I don't get that. Yeah. I'd caroling, caroling, no. But putting an iPod shuffle. What are you doing? Kick rocks. Yeah. Got a soundbar.
Starting point is 01:03:57 What are we doing? I'll be bumping this for the neighborhood. I want to listen to some broad and middle school or Mr. Bing Crosby. Yeah. Ever heard of him? Shit. We would put the candles in the brown paper bag. That's beautiful.
Starting point is 01:04:11 I do that for my mom. With the whole neighborhood. Yeah. I do it for my, my mom lives in a cul-de-sac and like. Plus you could tell who the non-believers are. Say, hey, this is a nice block. Okay. Why don't you play ball?
Starting point is 01:04:22 I think. There's a Johnson's. Oh, they'll be burning in hell. I think they, there is, I would say it's probably about maybe half and half by block. Yeah. Of my mom's block of like Catholic, Jewish, you know, miss, miss, it's. If the whole neighborhood does, you got to play along. Everybody does it.
Starting point is 01:04:41 They were like, hey, you know. Yeah. Even the heathens pull together. Make it look nice. Make it look nice. But that's as far as we went. I still have to do that. Can you run around and pick up the bags from Nancy on fucking whatever street?
Starting point is 01:04:52 Yeah. I go, hi, I'm here to pick up Denise's bags. Oh, it's 20 bucks. 20 bucks. You should have. Coming out of pocket for that. Mary Foley fresh back from Nam fucking trying to put those things together out front with a fucking half a case of course light them.
Starting point is 01:05:07 Oh, I wouldn't mind a half a case of course right now. Fucking pissed. Yeah. Fucking things. God damn it. But I'd never seen a Carol or in my life. I only, the only time I ever saw one, I was one. That wasn't like a piece of like, I worked at Macy's and Philly.
Starting point is 01:05:22 They had that big holiday show, which sucked. Sure. Hey, the big light show. Tried to go see it on Sunday. Really? Only do it once now. 1030 in the morning. It used to be every hour on the.
Starting point is 01:05:33 Every hour on the hour. Yeah. So we got there on a Sunday. We're like 1030 in the morning. What do we work? T-Bones over there counting his money like a night. We work here. 20, 40, 50.
Starting point is 01:05:42 No, no, no. I just took, I took a picture with the money and you guys look at all Christmasy. Oh, I love it. Happy holidays. You filthy animal. Angels with filthy souls. This one, I don't even get this from Orlando. My sister used to date a dude who always stung.
Starting point is 01:05:58 So my brother gifted him a bar of soap for Christmas. Ouch. Yeah. That's, but that's a pretty good way to be like, Hey, I don't know. I don't think it's lack of soap that's keeping you smelly. No, it's like ax body. You didn't see any little, some cologne or something. I don't know.
Starting point is 01:06:13 I don't think I leave you smell. Cologne's not what you're going to get my high paying job in a place to live. What do you want the fuck buddy? Move out from under the bridge. Here's some pamphlets so we can get your GED. All right. This one's from a rattlesnake Jake. Are you the reason your job no longer has a Christmas party?
Starting point is 01:06:37 I am not. But I technically am this year. Oh yeah. Because of COVID. We were supposed to have a nice Christmas dinner tonight. Stay cast. Take everybody out. Oh, we had to cancel it.
Starting point is 01:06:47 Yeah. I can still do it. We had to cancel it because I got the Coveys, but I'm out of my quarantine. I'm always a little nervous. So also let's trust science. You're boosted. I'm outside of the date. What are we doing here?
Starting point is 01:07:01 Kevin's base is on Russian medical medical standards. Also, I was with both of you. We recorded while I had it. What? Yeah. We recorded two episodes that Friday. Weird. And you didn't get it then.
Starting point is 01:07:12 I felt my high. And I blew you. For sure. I thought my forehead was getting bigger. I don't like office Christmas parties. I don't like parties with peers. Family parties are different. Okay.
Starting point is 01:07:26 Yeah. Don't like parties with peers. What I do love. What's that? Is the next day hearing who got fucked up and who made a fool of themselves. That was me. And me not being there. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:36 Oh yeah. Of course. You get all that. Dude, I've said this. I think I said this last time. I worked at a big law firm. Tammy got hammered and made out with Joe and started crying. Me and some tugboat did that.
Starting point is 01:07:48 Really? Yeah. It was bad. It was like, you know. Who's Christmas party? I used to work at this law firm in Philly. Really? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:56 And we all went out for like a happy hour. Wow. It was like a bar crawl. Oh. Office happy hour on the holidays. It was a Thursday night. Anything goes. And I'm telling you that Friday, during work, no one made eye contact.
Starting point is 01:08:08 Wow. There was like 500 people in the office and no one even looked at it. When those poppers and fireball shots starts going around. Oh, man. Hey, want to come back to my double mattress on the floor, lady? Was I? Were we living together then? I don't know if we were together.
Starting point is 01:08:24 It was that house, though. Really? Yeah. It was that South Philly house. Nice. Yeah. You were probably in my bed waiting for me when I got home. Just a Santa hat on.
Starting point is 01:08:34 Yeah. Let's wrap it up, guys. What, you know, Merry Christmas to both of you. Merry Christmas to both of you. It's been a fantastic year. Great year. The Army of Garbage, the homies, the bozos. Unbelievable.
Starting point is 01:08:45 We fucking love you so much. You have changed our lives this year. It's so fucking cool. Thank you for all the support. We, you know, we continue, you know, we vow to continue to fucking keep cranking out content. Keep trying to keep you entertained, you know. New tour coming this year? New tour coming this year.
Starting point is 01:09:01 We're launching. We're about to announce a shit ton of dates fucking all over this, you know, Florida, Denver, everywhere. We're coming everywhere. Tampa, Denver. Detroit. Orlando, Atlanta. Trashy, if you say, if you say Detroit.
Starting point is 01:09:14 Detroit. Detroit. Detroit. D. I'll be in a D. Everybody from the 313. We're looking forward to it. We can't thank you guys enough, honestly. I can't thank both of you enough.
Starting point is 01:09:24 I love you both very much. Thank you for everything, all the work that you guys put in this year. What a great thing that we have here and we appreciate it. We love you guys. I did have a, this was kind of a somewhat of a tradition that you and I used to have. Okay. A Tooties rendition of towards the night before Christmas. Sure.
Starting point is 01:09:43 If we, if we'd like to, if we'd like to indulge. No, I didn't really have time to get it together. So we're working on it for four hours before we started. So don't fucking downplay it. All right. Twas the night before Christmas and all through Tooties house. She was feeling the white claws, the bumps and the burnies as she loosened up her blouse. She stared out the window with a lawn chair holding her space.
Starting point is 01:10:09 And if someone touches it, it'll be a bat to the face. Cause the snow had begun to fall on the solemn Christmas night. God damn Omnicron ruined everything. And to be honest, cash was a little tight. Kippy and T-Bone all snug in their beds while visions of Rogaine manscaped in the new special dance in their heads. And I with my Margarita hot dog in the eight team on tap had just settled in for a pre-diabetic nap.
Starting point is 01:10:45 Went out by the garage. We heard such a clatter. Tooty yelled down, one of you pussies get out there and see what's the matter. So armed with only a golf club, Kippy and T-Bone on my back. We tiptoed out in the snow to give someone a Christmas smack. And there in the fridge, helping himself to the Miller lights was a real fat piece of shit dressed only in red tights. We rain blows down upon him like Jerry the stiller.
Starting point is 01:11:17 Kippy moved in with the screwdriver to take the lead. Ooh, that kid's a killer. When all of a sudden T-Bone did shout, oh fuck, dudes, this is Santa Claus. Let's get rid of the body and all just dip out. Later, dude. But he was a tough old bull, probably a vet. He said, ain't no man in Philly has beaten me yet. He laughed it off with the joke and told us he was a fan.
Starting point is 01:11:45 He said, I was just out here collecting recyclables, some bottles and can. We went back to the house and got hammered until dawn. He went out to meet his dealer, but we knew he was gone. And we heard him exclaim as he drove out of sight. Shout out to the bozos and the homies. These boys are all right and Toddy looking good, still keeping it tight. And a merry Christmas to all and to all a good night.
