Did you know that your now old theme music, that song is called, and I quote,
Hard as a Rock.
Happy Christmas, everybody.
Merry Christmas.
It's not going to be a white Christmas for my old theme song.
It's going to be that theme song is getting a lump of coal and I feel bad about it.
That theme song you just heard?
No, you don't.
You've hated that song for some reason, that fire song,
for months, if not the entirety of the show.
Well, I just want you guys to know that it is with my deepest sympathies and condolences.
That I report to you that that is the last time you will ever hear garage band rock.
dot MP3 ever again.
And it's had an outstanding run.
The irony of it is I, when we threw this together,
I was kind of like, yeah, it sounds fine.
Took you while to find that?
Okay, sounds good.
Let's not waste any more time.
Creed would have been much more expensive.
Anyways, no need to kick the,
no need to kick the theme music.
Quite a eulogy you're giving.
It's so good.
Yeah?
Yeah.
This is going to be one of those you never know what you had until you lost it deals.
Yeah, definitely.
I'm going to be yearning for the day that I pictured a guy jumping up into an F-650 with obnoxious tires.
I remember when the theme music would come on.
The fledgling days of this podcast when people would,
Their review literally would be, what is that music?
What is that song?
That is dope.
Were they running torture camps where they would like tie people up and make,
you know when you want to get somebody to talk?
Now I will tell you.
Not the Greenlight theme music.
If I do happen upon your podcast here, this one, I will hit the advance 30 seconds
when the music comes on at this stage.
So maybe it is time.
Yeah, I think it's just time.
In all seriousness, we appreciate the,
let's do it like a press conference, okay?
Yeah.
Listen, this is one of the hardest decisions
we've had to make as a team.
The player has given us a lot of contribution,
some great years.
But this is a business.
It's a production business, right?
Yeah, what would you say, though?
Yeah, can I just ask the questions?
Yeah, you got it.
Sure, production business.
It seems like everyone likes it.
Why, why get rid of it now?
Well, when you're,
wouldn't be true to yourself.
No, I got a serious answer.
So when you're, when you're winning,
you can't get complacent.
I feel like we've been winning lately, right?
We've been winning, getting some Ws, good guess,
that sort of thing, you're the reporter.
Right.
But we, the organization, have been winning.
You gotta infuse fresh blood into the situation.
or else you become complacent as an organization.
And you become closed-minded.
So it's like spring cleaning.
Fred Henry, Times, Picayune, Harold.
Are you saying that whatever?
That's how you say that word?
Pickyune.
I've never said it.
Always been terrified to try.
Yeah.
You really think the majority of people just walking around out on the street
know how to pronounce Picayune when they see it on a...
No.
after what I've learned about people in the last year or so.
No,
I doubt it.
Less than 50% are on Picayune.
I'm going to say even college educated folks.
Yeah.
Yeah, right?
Right.
Yeah.
Just one of those words.
Whoever has to say it out loud.
I am going to start a podcast called the Picayune.
And I'm going to use.
And I'm going to plug the McCain.
And I'm going to use that theme music that you are discarding.
And I'm going to have a great podcast.
That's higher.
rated than yours.
What are you going to talk about?
Well, I don't have any interests.
I don't know.
Get back to you on that.
All right.
I think it'll be fire.
Yeah, thanks.
Check it out.
Bacane.
The Bacane.
So the new music.
The new music is
as one lucky
winter guest, Merry Christmas
to that lucky winner.
We'll make it official in a minute or two.
This is Muddy Waters, and this is a song called Tomcat.
We fucking, we got Muddy Waters opening the pod.
Now that might not mean a lot to you, but I think that's pretty cool.
Born McKinley Morganfield.
Somebody got it by the name, but they were 15 minutes late.
Somebody said McKinley Morganfield.
Really?
Yes.
They even went with the government name of,
Muddy Waters and I was like I almost want to give it to you you're 15 minutes late
did you know the government name I just knew it from a wiki I knew his name wasn't muddy
waters and I've read his Wikipedia before late at night but I did not know it by I was
expecting buzzer to buzzer I didn't know it by McKinley Morganfield Morgan McInleyfield it was
something along the gameley Morganfield I was expecting to find like a Mitchell muddy waters
Listen
Most people probably don't think it through
But you know
It would be fucking cool
If your parents named you Muddy Waters
If your last name is Waters
Like if your last name is Waters
In the United States
Get named Muddy
Correct
Arrange that
Okay
No it's hard to arrange that
But arrange it
You have other options
But Muddy's probably at the top of the list
Maybe rain
Rain Waters
That would be
Come on, come on.
What does rainwaters do for a living?
Rain waters.
Musician, easy.
R-A-I-N-N, huh?
Yep.
I'm sorry, but if your name's rain,
I think about,
I think about Rain Wilson like all day.
I can't get it out of my head.
Well, get out of his shadow.
Your rain, waters.
Waters, waters, rain, shower.
Deep waters.
Sink, deep isn't a name.
What the fuck it's not, dude?
A name can be anything you wanted to be.
Deep.
That's like Hollywood people name their kids like Blanket, right?
Yeah.
Not Michael Jackson's kid?
Yep.
Apple.
Yeah, shit like that, dude.
Deep is not a name.
Any word is a name, dude.
Apple and blanket are at least nouns.
Deep would be an adjective.
What about Misty?
I guess Muddy, yeah.
What about Misty?
Muddy.
Yeah, we're literally talking about.
You're talking about an adjective.
Deep waters, bro.
Deep, though.
Do you know any other deeps?
No, do you know a lot of muddies?
Maybe.
No, no, no, no.
Don't touch your laptop, though.
Famous muddies.
Muddies bake shop?
Memphis, Tennessee.
Point taken.
Gosh, I feel like there's another good water's name.
Ricky.
Still.
Still waters.
you're like that guy that guy is cool as fuck dude yeah guy named still waters
man when people post that on their social media i'm like that's so cool
if you were a little bit stiller you wouldn't have social media
you wouldn't be saying anything that's what i picture if somebody likes that quote you
better be like the coolest customer in the world no conversations initiated not asking anybody
any questions it's just hard to live that way
Wait, is there any last name that doesn't work with muddy?
Maybe that's the question.
Muddy might work across the board.
Granted, Waters.
Muddy Johnson.
Okay, dude, you don't want to be Muddy Johnson.
That's not a good way to be.
Okay, fair.
That's fair.
Fair spot.
So we're talking about Muddy Waters.
And Muddy Waters is a blues legend.
And as you just probably said, Mississippi.
born in Mississippi, April 4th, 1913.
So we dropped a hint about Chicago,
being a Chicago Bears fan probably.
That's because he started his musical career in Chicago,
like formally, when he decided I want to be a lifetime musician.
He was doing music in Mississippi,
but went up there and recorded songs like,
I believe that's where they recorded Manish Boy,
which is probably the most famous Muddy Waters song.
Out there, we had no shot at clearing that sample.
That would have been a lot of money.
We got this song Tomcat.
And by the way, Manish Boy also is connected to the George Thorogood hint that I dropped.
Because George Thorogood adapted, I'll put it that way, adapted Manish Boy.
Bad to the Bone.
When I was a little white kid watching Terminator, I thought, man, what a great song.
Had no, no idea.
that there was a much better song in existence that that song had been adapted from.
So yeah, I listen, Muddy Waters is a fucking goat, dude.
He is a goat.
Fly on the wall.
I would love to be in the studio the day they recorded Manish Boy.
I'm obligated to tell you the names of Muddy's sons.
What are the names of Muddy's son?
Larry Mudd Morgan Field.
Big Bill Morgan Field.
These guys are so cool.
And Joseph Mojo Morganfield.
These guys are so cool, dude.
That's awesome.
Oh my God.
It's a travesty if they're not cool.
Can you imagine if they're not cool?
No, I don't even want to go looking.
I don't even want to think about it.
Honestly.
One's a realtor.
Yeah.
Anyways, yeah.
So the song is Tomcat.
And it's on an album called Electric Mud,
which actually didn't do very well.
Relative to the rest of his success stories and projects
that took off.
Like, it didn't do that great.
And I guess from what I understand,
Muddy didn't love the album so much.
And it was different.
So I guess that makes sense.
And that's why I figured maybe
if there was some album I could snag some muddy off of,
maybe it was electric mud.
And we got lucky.
So really appreciative of the family
and the folks running that estate.
and the folks who granted us permission at a cost
to snag this legendary 30 seconds or so of music
that we are privileged to play at the beginning of our podcast now.
Have you read the lyrics?
Yeah, yeah.
Good lyrics too.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
What do you think it's about?
Good loving.
Good love.
It's a lot of songs about just sex, dude.
Unapologetically about sex,
they just changed the words.
you know in so many words it's basically saying let's fuck first line yeah you know i'm a tomcat
and use my kitten fire awesome yeah scratching at your window pain there you go you know the
song uh huh that is a kick ass song dude play that at high fucking volume
when you're listening to the green light pot hit the porch tonight for those of you who indulge
I know we hit the porch, get your little Jay out there,
and blast that shit after the kids go to bed tonight.
Maybe a glass of whatever your fancy is as well.
You'll enjoy it.
I don't have a J or kids.
You got alcohol?
Yeah, but really been off the sauce lately too.
I mean, a glass of red.
Yeah, I've been off the sauce too.
I feel like a teenager.
Like before I started drinking as a teenager.
I feel like a pre-teed.
2019 had me in the red, dude.
You know, this is the healthiest year I've ever lived.
All right, so let's announce the winner.
So Cowboy Reed, what's this guy's,
what do they call it a screen name?
Yeah, sure.
Screen name is called, is it a handle?
Yeah.
Handle.
Yeah, that's.
Our winner's handle is,
Buffalo Co
9987
Buffaloco we have messaged
you hit us back
Buffaloco please return to the A terminal
to claim your
tickets to Disney World
so a bot has won this
little
nah he's he's legit
he's Bill's Mafia too
so I'm hyped about that
four digits deep though that's a
that's a frightening number of digits
on a Twitter handle
it sure is a frightening number of digits
on a Twitter handle I hadn't considered
that he very well might be a bot,
but from our independent research,
it doesn't look like a bot.
If these bots are this smart,
then we have a problem.
If these bots are this smart,
they can go to Disney World.
Yeah.
They deserve it.
If, listen,
let's send some bots to Disney World.
Fuck it.
If he's a bot, he's going.
If they can pick out muddy waters from those hints,
exactly.
They're definitely in terms.
influencing elections.
How about I've never seen a bot?
Never seen a bot, bro.
Show me a picture of the bot.
You're bang right here.
Where are they?
It's in our laptops.
But there's no like station for the bot?
There's like a bot farm.
Yeah, so I'm saying.
Like a bot farm.
Like a server.
They're on, they're in servers.
Explain it to me.
Oh, I'm not so good at this.
I'm not so good at like AI.
but it's just algorithms and shit.
So who's writing them?
Governments, obviously, like Russia.
Putin is making up.
But Putin's not trying to go to Disney World.
So what is this bot doing?
I don't know, bro.
You're an outspoken progressive.
This could be Buffalo.
9987 could also be Vladimir Putin.
Karen USA 55555-5-5-5,
who is just jumping in mentions,
getting people riled up.
So Buffalo.
is trying to win your contest to get to Disney World.
There's a Russian bunker under Disney World.
Something of that sort.
Holy shit, dude.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Now, this is not a real person, so this is not.
No, I know, but we're not in danger, but.
Well, no, you might be.
No, I don't think we are.
Because this bot might go to Disney World.
I think we're just being used to get to Disney World.
I'm locking down all my accounts now that I know
that Russia's involved in this prize, this contest.
That begs another question though, why would Russia not
just go to Disney World on their own?
Why do they need us to go?
This bot is going, which is a fake person
is gonna fake a death at Walt Disney World.
Blame you, try to take you down.
They're trying to take down all the vocal progressive folk
out there, one by one.
I have heard of a lot of tragedies.
at places like Disney World that are inexplicable and link to bots.
If you have any sense, you can see they're linked to bots.
Should we shut this shit down?
Yes.
Well, Buffalo, if you are amongst living and breathing, hollered back at Cowboy Reed,
we need to get you to Orlando.
How do we figure this out that he's not a bot?
Yeah, we need some sort of proof of life.
Like verification.
Yeah.
describe the marine layer once you land.
But then it's too late.
It's too late.
You'll get a bunch of MS. DOS chatter on your phone,
and you'll know it's too late.
The bots inside the Magic Kingdom.
Buffalo.
Burrowing down into that bunker to do God knows what for Mother Russia.
What else goes down at the Walt Disney World Resort?
actually a lot goes down at the Walt Disney World Resort
I hope this is a real person
let me just say this I would love if we could send you down there
right in the heat of the playoffs bro
right in the heat of the playoffs you could be
I bet they have swim up bars
I bet they have swim up bars
you could be just like on the edge of blackout
watching Josh Allen
at the swim up bar
outside the magic kingdom
Mickey blog.com has the eight best pool bars
at Walt Disney World
Dude, there's eight to choose from.
They had to rank them.
Here's what I want, Buffalo Co.
I want you to go down there with a GoPro,
watch the bills.
You've probably got a solid month of watching those guys.
They might be going to Tampa right down the road.
Watch the bills at all the swim up bars,
rank the swim up bars.
Don't pee in any of the pools.
That shit like comes back.
It's our reputation, man.
Hurricane Hannah's waterside bar and grill is ranked number one by Mickeyvlog.com.
There's a real hurricane named Hannah, I'm sure, at this point.
Yeah, that might be insensitive.
What the fuck are they doing down there?
It's the wild southeast, man.
They named it after a hurricane.
Number two is Oasis Bar and Grill.
No problem there.
Number three is Beach's Pool Bar and Grill, not problematic.
Creative name.
Four is Marty Grogs.
Disney's Port Orleans
Resort.
Five is the drop-off pool bar.
These are all fine except for Hurricane Hanna.
Oh my God, that's where the bot's going.
The drop-off?
That doesn't even sound like anything about Disney or the beach or pools.
That's like code, bro.
That's bot talk.
Holy shit, dude.
Zero in on that, please.
Would you?
The drop-off.
looks inconspicuous enough.
If you are a real person,
we're going to need you to report back on what the fuck's going on at the drop-off.
Because that has Russia written all over it.
Counterintelligence written all over it.
That's not even like the drop-off.
What does that mean?
I don't know.
The drop-off.
It's where you drop a package.
It's where you drop a vial of some substance.
It's like hiding in plain sight.
Yeah.
Where are we going to do the, what's it called?
The drop.
Rendezvous.
At the drop off.
Yeah.
It's so you don't even have to ask the question because the thing is nowadays with these bots,
the way these bots hear each other and communicate, you don't even want to risk typing
like into your text like the drop off or saying over the phone, meet you at the drop off.
Like you used to be okay to say shit like that, bot to bot, secret agent's a secret agent.
Now you can't do that.
which is literally on the map.
It's on the map.
Hey, where are we meeting to exchange these,
this crate of cocaine?
The drop off.
Just look at the fucking map, dude, rookie.
All right, so here we go.
Had a guy, DM me on a side channel,
bot free, real dude, definitely real dude.
Vetted him, scanned him.
He said he used to work at Disney World.
Here's what our friend redacted had to say,
about working there.
He says his biggest two Manhattans,
which is crazy to wrap your head around,
is it not?
It's a lot of magic.
And I asked him if there was a bunch
of disturbing stuff that went on there.
And he started the message off saying,
not as much as you'd think,
and then proceeded to tell me
some of the most disturbing shit I've ever heard.
The most disturbing it gets
is the indoctrination which starts right away.
Every cast member, as all Disney
employees are called, sits through at least 12 hours of classes that center around how important
Disney World is, how great of a man Walt Disney was, et cetera. It's like they try to pump the magic
into your brain right away. Food's actually not bad, pretty much anywhere on the property. In
fact, the high-end restaurants are fantastic. I was like, wait, indoctrinate like everybody at the
facility. Two Manhattan's. A lot of people there. Not just the people that are in character.
He said even the mechanics. Even the mechanics. Mechanic is also a cast member technically.
Yeah, that's what they're calling everybody there. Does the mechanic have to wear a get-up?
God, I hope not. Oh, God. Is this a mistake? Is this a mistake? You can't have like a little
kid saying, Daddy, what's that? It's a mouse fixing the side of spous.
Space Mountain.
Like, you can't get into your mini fridge in your mini bar and a mouse has to come up to help you.
Goofy knocks on the door.
It's so fucking terrible.
You get some towels?
And Aladdin will be right up.
The hunchback of Notre Dame just fucking ambles into your hotel room.
Smoking a cigarette.
Oh
Need a new room
Key go see Ursula
The tunnels
Are a poorly kept secret
Can't talk about them
To guess at all
Even though the park offers tourists
To guests down there
They pretty much only span the main park
Magic Kingdom
And they're very utilitarian
Of course they would be
If you're moving nuclear warheads
Through Disney World
To the drop off
exactly dude
hiding in plain sight
the best anecdote i've heard about them
is that redacted from redacted tv show had a section of it smelling very much of
weed
a performer
with a bit of the hot leaf
the devil's lettuce
about to bring the kids joy
that's not that's not the biggest scandal i've i've ever heard in the last
few minutes
to get stoned at disney world in the and
handles of Disney World.
The bowels.
Yeah.
Down in the asshole of Disney World.
They're moving nuclear weapons through it and you're sparking up the hot leaf.
Getting ready to go entertain kids on Christmas.
The bowels of the drop off.
Stardom isn't what you thought it would be, huh?
Protocols for customers freaking out is very weird because I ask them what happens when a customer
loses it because it sounds like they do from time to time.
I would too.
Sir, please calm down.
tinkerbell will be right with you exactly basically cast members can't do a damn thing security can only keep
other guests away from them and police aren't allowed to post up on property they always have
to come in from outside i've heard of a cast member girl getting a pretty payday for not doing
anything when a guest had his hand around her throat up against the wall it makes no sense it is
literally the third priority of every
cast member to protect the plot.
No bullshit.
They refer to it as good show.
Good show.
That makes me so uncomfortable.
You understand what I'm saying?
What I'm saying is
everybody protects the plot.
The mechanic protects the plot.
The plot of what?
Disney, bro, being real.
But like when you walk in there,
is it all like a...
No, it's just characters walking around and shit.
Like if a 13 year old asks the bellhop, if Tinkerbell's real, the bell hop has to say yes.
Right.
It's like the gentleman outside Buckingham Palace who can't break elite concentration.
Exactly.
Well, but even more ridiculous because if you're the guy outside Buckingham Palace is kind of cool that you can stand there like that.
I mean, that's what a skill.
I mean, it's, it's impressive.
You got to like lie to kids and adults alike about the realism factor in that motherfucker,
like on a daily basis and smile.
And hey, that's not for everybody, right?
It's crazy.
Do you want to get into a philosophical conversation about how all these things might
do you be real?
Sure.
Okay.
If they make you feel a certain way, how are they not real?
Well, they're real, but it's not, you know, like the plot is not real.
Like you cannot prove, you can make me feel all types of way to see, uh, little mermaid,
Lightning McQueen.
If Lightning McQueen rolled up, crawled up, however they're doing Lightning McQueen.
I don't know.
Crawling.
You've got to be,
hey man.
Only very few people
have the skills it takes
to be Lightning McQueen.
If Lightning McQueen rolled up, right?
Around the corner in the lobby.
Like, tried to entertain my kid.
Like, whaling with freak, right?
He'd love it.
Probably asked where Mater was.
It was a tow truck.
Okay.
But then he'd ask, what?
it a real car and then Lightning McQueen?
No, but what I'm saying is it makes my son feel a certain way, so it's real in that sense,
but there's nothing that you can do to convince me that that guy just peeled in there from
Radiator Springs.
So the plot is not real.
The effect of the plot is real, but the plot is not real.
Okay, but the movie is?
The movie's real.
So they're just, they're acting out the movie.
They're acting out the movie, which is real.
But then there's no such thing as fiction and nonfiction.
Is that where you're going?
I don't know where I'm going.
You're like I have a contact high.
I'm like, damn Joe Rogan.
I mean, you're staring me in some Joe Rogan directions with this.
Is Disney real?
Is anything real?
Well, Santa.
Well, we're going to get to that in a little bit, actually,
in the mailbag.
So stick around for that.
Catch the mailbag at the drop off.
You know what?
I don't want to set a tone because you're listening on Christmas and for you guys think the rest of the pot is going to be all about Christmas and like, you know, arguing over Christmas movies and that sort of thing.
We got, oh my God, you did not, dude.
Second year in a row, I'm presenting Chris with a present.
It is apparent to me by the look on Chris's face that he does not have a present for me.
Merry Christmas.
The wrapping paper has.
Happy birthday, Jesus.
milking cookies on it.
You know what I almost called you today and did?
Honestly, I promise you how it was this.
It's a half full thing of dove men care, which looks actually like it smells terrific.
It does.
And it's actually like a quarterful.
It's a quarter.
Golly, dude.
It's good.
This is unbelievable.
I've been doing this other bullshit.
No, it's good.
It's good.
Now, wife alert.
My lovely wife, Kate, um, was going to run out and grab me some body wash of that.
Bad for you to inhale this?
No good. What's the name of that one? What's the body wash? Oh, this is minerals and sage. This is fortifying shampoo and conditioner. Now, I wanted the body wash. Oh, I want the body wash. I wanted the body wash. So I've used the first three quarters of that on my body body as body wash, but I recently went out to the store. I got the body wash so I no longer have use of this shampoo and conditioner on my person, body hair or otherwise. So I'm giving that to you for Christmas. This
year. It's good.
I mean, this is, this is, I'm blown away.
Yeah. I'm actually blown away.
I'm so relieved that you got me body wash.
You're welcome. Well, yeah.
You know, like, I just, I really needed that.
Mm-hmm.
I didn't need anything nice. That's for sure. You know what I mean?
Like expensive. That's like, that's like $9, dude.
Yeah, it's more like, uh, $250 at this point.
Yeah, lightly, lightly used.
might be little dust on the bottle
don't let it foe you
about what's inside
didn't feel good coming out
Hey you know when I when I walked in earlier
I had a nice shirt on
Yeah yep
And you remarked about how nice the shirt was
It was a good good looking shirt
Zara yeah yeah
You asked if you had
So you're gonna take my
You can copy the podcast
The pick of you
The Bicane
Yeah
And you're gonna take
the old intro music and you're going to get his R's shirt in what size?
Medium, slim fit.
What I was going to tell you is that you have spurred a new me.
I don't even think you know it.
I have committed myself to shaking up the wardrobe in 2021 and I started early.
One day, as I almost spilled my water, golly, it's hard being hydrated.
Let me tell you something.
A lot of people say they want to be high.
but a lot of people don't do the things that are necessary in order to be hydrated.
Is carrying around a six pound glass jug necessary for being hydrated?
I'm a hydrated king.
I don't know if you've read my screen name lately.
I have a little jealous of it actually.
Yeah.
As someone who prized himself on hydration.
Well, you should probably just be jealous to the fact that I have to piss like a racehorse
right now.
I'm just holding it.
No, I did too.
I've been three digits in ounces of hydration for ever since you put that on your
on your little handle.
Anyways, my clothes.
Well, yeah, that's what I'm trying to.
So you've influenced me on the hydration train, which I've always been on, but I've
committed myself.
And I've always been on the clothing train, like wearing cool clothes.
You sure have.
So how do you recommend?
So one day you said to me something to the effect of, oh, I wear graphic teas every day.
It's like, I gave it like nine months.
Like I just, I just kind of looked at the.
the mirror every day.
Looked in the mirror.
Looked the little graphic you had on your tea that day.
Looked in the closet.
Some days I'd be like, hey, today I want to do something like a business meeting.
Maybe I'll wear a regular t-shirt.
So I'd go looking for a regular t-shirt and I'd be like, golly, I don't have a lot of those,
huh?
All my t-shirts have pictures on them.
How stupid do I feel?
And you hear my voice in your head.
And I heard your stupid voice.
The dulcet tones.
The dulcet tones.
And I just started 3 a.m. stoned, J. Crew, pillaging, bro.
And then I was pillaging James Purse.
Stuff is expensive on there.
I was pillaging Patagonia.
I was getting shirts with buttons on them.
Yeah, dude.
Henleys.
Wow, Henley.
Yeah.
Cotton blend.
Wow, Henley.
Yeah, Henley's button downs, the whole nine yards, got them.
So 2021, and this week is the first graphic tee I had on all week.
I was going to say, did you know this?
Yeah, did you know that you have some Nike team issued gear on your person?
Bro, you think you can.
Do you think you vary that a lot?
Nike team issue gear is the second best part of my life.

Do you realize that you just,

You just totally boxed yourself in a corner, okay?
Like career wise, the rest of your life.
You can never be a college football coach.
Right, right.
That's faith, family football, family, faith.
You can pick your order, but it's those, those are the top.
And a lot of times the three Fs.
Right.
Right.
Will before skill.
Earned not given.
Nike team issued gear before our Lord and Savior.
Well, I use faith broadly, Chris.
Hey, listen.
Who's to say our Lord and Savior's not part of my family, brother?
Family.
Did you just on Christmas try to like get adopted by God?
So God, that's J.C.
He's dad.
I understand that.
You're going to get all biblical, yes.
But I understand you're going to try to flail around and make some really confident looking,
straight-faced connection to how you're in the Christmas picture with the GOD, bro.
You're going to be a college football coach.
And on the wall is going to go, Zoe Rabbit, button down shirts.
My lovely wife, Nike team issued gear, faith.
Bro, button down shirts is out of the equation.
I don't like them any more than you do.
I just wear them so it's not to look like.
Sling real estate.
Of failure.
What's the worst real estate get up out there?
Like, if you, like, you know how I'll see a guy run through the tunnel?
And I'm like, this guy.
Look at this guy.
I know he can't play.
Look at he's got this number on.
or this item, this wristband.
It's when you're wearing the logo
of the brokerage on your person somewhere.
It's like, all right, pal.
Like Big R. Realtor hat.
Like, golly day, man.
Not moving a lot of units.
What if somebody just,
what if somebody just
ran up to redact,
real estate firm headquarters and started dancing on your logo.
Oh.
In a fucking, in a, oh my God.
In like a redacted button down t-shirt.
The logo right there above the shirt pocket tucked into a pair of jeans.
We would, uh, we'd never forget it.
That's for damn sure.
He can apologize as much as he wants.
We're not going to forget it.
Do you think one of the veterans at his real estate firm might pull him aside next to the parcel that they met at to exchange the hide-a-key and say, hey man.
I saw what you did.
You need to put the firm first.
You think they would do that?
Yeah, dude, because next thing you know, you're in a multiple bid situation.
and guess who we're picking
not Homeboy
who came in and danced on our logo
damn
yeah
respect before
I'll work on that one
respect before collect
that's not bad at all
I like that a lot
had no idea I was going to get that
that's really good
it just came out dude
yeah
fancy
the houses my club
won the championship on Monday night.
Congratulations, man.
I hadn't texted you yet.
Well, I did text you,
but it did the thing where it looks like it sent through, right?
I went back.
No, it is a thing.
When your texts are green.
I'll say delivered.
No, down the hill, the service isn't great.
I know the service isn't great down the hill.
So I kind of live like over the hill.
And up, right.
So it's just on that side of the hill and up another ravine,
your house doesn't get as good service.
Well, that's actually accurate, yeah.
So listen, I went to send the, hey, congratulations, we got a lot of respect for you,
that whole text on Monday night after you won.
And I put my phone away.
Three days later, I realized, oh, there was a red exclamation mark right to the right of that sucker.
Shoot.
You want to show me that after the pod?
Just to confirm.
I forgot my passcode.
Damn. Do you know how hard it is to win one of these things?
It would have been nice to hear from you.
All right, it's mailbag time.

Somebody asks, pooping alone at home.
ajar or closed?
I mean, I used to be somebody
that was a big a jar guy.
Easier to hear
what's going on around the house,
domicile, you know what I mean?
And
felt kind of empowering,
especially as a married man
with kids.
You know, just open the
exterior door too.
Open the exterior door.
Open the interior door.
Open the interior doors.
It's actually good for the circulation.
Circulation of fecal matter, yeah.
Well, I was going to get there, and you know this.
I read a little bit of literature circa 2018.
But just that feeling, and I'll get to that literature in a moment.
Yeah, we got all the time in the world.
That feeling of just the drop-off going down with nobody in the crib is amazing.
I told you I don't like to be in a public bathroom and see the other person's shoes down there.
Who does?
Well, I think some people judging by the velocity with which they are making poop.
Oh, have no shame.
That they don't care.
That is wild.
I'm with you there.
Can't imagine.
If I was a fucking, who was the guy in America's Most Wanted?
The guy with the gray hair.
They used to be like call this number if you know the guy that did that.
Oh, right, that guy.
If I was that guy, I just camp out and shitters all across shopping malls.
And whoever just the most shamelessly goes through with the drop off, that's my suspect.
He's at least on the watch list.
There has to be some watch list.
It's like serial killer stuff.
I've been in press boxes where there are coaches who are in the booth.
Yeah.
upstairs who need to get back into the booth as soon as possible there's a real time crunch
and there and it's they're calling cover zero it sounds like they are
ripping up cardboard i don't even think that's a thing that's not a thing no it's not a thing
no it sounds like they are scrunching up wrapping paper it sounds like they are
blowing a party ribbon inside of a glass jar.
Yes.
Here's what it sounds like.
Ah,
a pandemic, I can't.
It would take too much.
It sounds like you're trying not to laugh.
Yeah.
That's well done.
Yeah.
No, you're right.
God, judging by your face,
you were like, where the fuck are you going with that?
Yeah.
That's what it sounds like with some of these people at shopping malls.
I'm like, man, we're at Red Lobster.
You just ruined the biscuits.
I literally just came here for the biscuits.
Table for one.
Would you like some biscuits?
Yeah, let me use the restroom.
And I'm not even trying to do a duke
because that's not in the arsenal in public places
that we've gone through this.
I'm at the urinal.
I hear that.
I'm disturbed.
I don't care how good the biscuits are.
I'm going to ghost that table for one.
I'm gone, dude.
I'm gone.
How many people out there of the listeners
have walked into a bathroom
that a famous person was walking out of
and just got done making poop?
Tell us.
How many?
That's got to be some embarrassing shit
when you're really famous
and you just get done pooping
and you walk out
and you make eye contact with a person.
It's embarrassing as a regular person, right?
Yeah, I was going one at, after one of your Super Bowls.
Yeah.
And a famous person walked in and thought he was alone in the bathroom.
I almost said he or she, but it was a men's bathroom.
I was peeing in.
Okay, Disney World guy.
And the famous person walks in and rips a fart as just as he's going in to go one to
and rips a fart as he walks.
into the to the restroom and sees there's another person and just completely just was was
Joe cool about it and you told me this story and said hey he told me the story yeah he
walks in goes looks up sees me and goes hey we're going to redact the name tell me the name
hey hey and then we had a conversation at two at urinals one in between us but the fart
wasn't mentioned, but he owned it.
It was beautiful.
Wasn't mentioned and yet, he was not embarrassed by it.
The thing that you, and I just thought about this,
wouldn't say I'm famous, I'm a public figure.
Got a blue check next to my Twitter.
Say I do some business, which is not gonna smell that bad
because I eat such a plant rich diet,
a lot of fiber.
Things aren't sitting down there for days
like some of these other types
you might walk past in the seven,
11-11 bathroom.
I make eye contact with somebody.
I actually got to kind of be concerned about it.
What's it like, and things are going to change for you soon.
I mean, but what's burgeoning podcaster?
Mm-hmm.
The pick of you.
What are you going to do when you get the eye contact after you drop the steam-induce?
I don't use, I don't do that.
I don't use public restrooms for that.
That makes sense, actually.
I can't believe we haven't discussed this before.
But yeah, door a jar at home.
Right, door closed for me, for sure.
No, before I read the article.
Okay.
So we're going to get here.
The article was that I don't care how far your toothbrush is.
You could have a hallway for a bathroom is the way they made it sound.
You take a deuce, you go to flush it,
poop particles
round the corner
to the left
down the hallway
corridor it could be a corridor
toothbrush getting
assaulted
it's like D-Day
it's like the walking dead
of poop
just converging
on that toothbrush
so the lesson was
and this is why I now close the door
to your point
if you're listening
your toothbrush is in peril
and your tip was on top of
closing the door to your, if you have a door inside your bathroom that separates the,
the jaunt.
Right.
Regardless, just close the lid before you flush.
Exactly.
Which is a total game changer.
Right.
Total game changer.
Yeah, close the fucking door.
Then take a wipe.
Okay.
To the inside of your lid, the lid, you know, once a month or so.
Yeah.
Yeah.
You know, it's okay if I make eye contact with somebody in there like,
yo, Chris Long, I just walked out of the red lot.
and he blew that thing up.
Bossman.
Hey, boss.
Were you just in here?
That's something else, man.
Some guy just striking up a conversation.
You just shit?
Hey, boss man.
Hey, man.
And then like,
you just shit in there?
And just like put like handshake and all that stuff.
Pre-pandemic, people would try to dep you up in a bathroom.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Like, hey, remember that play against Wake Forest?
I'm like, sure do.
trying to urinate um you know like i actually have to worry about it but not that much because my
brand can accommodate a one-off story of me blowing up a bathroom like if you're i don't know uh
mario lopez or you know like some news anchor some female news anchor like you just it's not
good for the brand like their brand's a little bit more buttoned up the the reality that they take
deuses in public places is is a lot for i think their brand to absorb just a podcaster someone asks
recast a decent movie to make it legendary which is more of a declarative statement uh it's more of a
what's it call when you when you make a command yeah it's a directive yeah it's a directive here
by someone well um here's what i did brusf yeah go ahead
I took a legendary movie and made it better.
You ready?
Yeah.
When Harry met Sally.
Okay.
Thanks, Billy Crystal.
Good effort.
Yeah.
Enjoy the film.
But I'm taking him out for Steve Martin.
Same age group, Steve's three years older.
And that's a better movie with Steve Martin.
Can I tell you something that's going to be an issue?
I haven't seen the movie.
Wow.
Yeah.
Oh boy.
How the turntable.
haven't seen the film,
eh?
No.
Oh,
man,
you must suck as a person.
You haven't seen a movie.
What an idiot.
Boy.
Believe it or not.
What a dumb ass.
Believe it or not,
I'm only a weight class above you.
I would say maybe two weight classes above you.
I'm no like,
there is an alarming amount of movies I haven't seen,
actually,
make me actually feel like a, like a cenophile.
There you go.
Yeah.
So when Harry Met Sally is a film that most everyone is seen,
Reed, you seen that film?
No.
Holy shit.
Hey, Johnny Blaze.
Have you seen that film?
Of course.
Everyone except you two haven't.
Yeah, that's crazy.
That's crazy.
A bunch of people right now looking into their iPod classics saying,
Nah, we haven't seen neither, Johnny Blaze.
Y'all are, y'all have lost your minds.
When Harry met Sally, I'm switching out, Billy Crystal for Steve Martin.
Okay.
And we can move on.
This is one that was for me.
This is from Kay Riley.
How are you able to handle being empathetic versus channeling the killer mindset?
It's actually easy.
Because I don't hate many people.
You know what I mean?
But I am incredibly competitive.
So, you know, like I want to win and I want to perform well.
And that was always easy for me.
You're asking me as a football player, how do you, how are you empathetic and kind off the field
and how are you mean on the field?
I think it's easier than you think because we're not all inherently like just psycho or
crazy people.
Like, I am crazy, but not in that way.
Also, I think sometimes we over assume how aggressive football players are by personality,
and then we underestimate how somebody like me,
who's thought of as this great person, can also be a dickhead.
You know what I mean?
So you're assuming that, like, and I appreciate that, you're assuming that, like,
this guy, great charity work, you know, like, seems empathetic and kind on the pod.
Well, I don't come on here and volunteer my mistake.
stakes, you know? I mean, I do, but you don't, what I'm saying is you don't see my worst moments
of me being kind of a dick. So I think like, I think honestly it's not that fucking hard. And
you used to, not like Michael Jordan like on the last dance, but I used to think of ways
and to even say Michael Jordan like, it's, it's so cringy, but not like the, the character
that Michael Jordan created for himself. But similar in that,
you just take you search for slights i really think the difference between michael jordan and most
people is he made it up and he really believed it and i took that personally you know what i mean like
i would make shit up for the week and then by monday morning i was like that was a crazy thing that
you wrapped your head up in a ball about i remember when you were at virginia you frequented the
message boards yeah i used to look at the message boards print them out put them in my locker
I mean like toxic but fucking motivation.
I'm being dramatic, but that's the point.
Like you figure shit out to be slights.
And I don't care if I'm in my head playing against the coach on my own team.
I don't care if I'm playing against an opponent in my head
or something that a fan on another team set on the sideline,
but I need to work myself into a rage
because I am not an angry person off the field.
person off the field and you can attest to that can i find it difficult to get i'm way more apt to get
annoyed as fuck or like inconvenienced or frustrated than just angry at somebody i reserve anger for like
danger and when you're on a football field it is essentially a dangerous situation and i had to
work myself up to get there there just a little bit of it just came out in me a little bit yeah
she about the fucking zadano char your laptop you didn't have anything on it
Well, I have like literally the same things.
I have an email printed out in my office.
Yeah.
From an agent who wrote an email to clients, not meant for me.
The clients got it to me saying how they shouldn't work with me because I don't have enough experience.
That's a motherfucking driver, Chris.
That's why I wake up every morning.
So the question, I, that's why I cruise.
I don't think the question.
No, I agree.
that's not that's not the i mean i have an easy answer for that already multiple bids come in you're
representing the seller yeah there's going to be a losing buyer you got to be empathetic you got to be
kind right somebody's trying to make the biggest investment of their lives on the house of their
dreams and they're going to lose out because they're only putting 10% down yeah other homeboys got 20%
down in a quicker close yeah okay killer mindset we're going with the best offer no matter what
And oh, by the way, on the other side, I'm very sorry.
Best of luck to you.
Killer mindset.
Uh-huh.
Empathy, yes.
Take away the problem.
Take away future problems.
That's right.
You're wise, bro.
Thanks, man.
Hey, guys, this is a disclaimer.
There is a Christmas spoiler in five, four, kids, three, two.
Turn it off.
one, Santa isn't real.
Oh.
And the question was,
isn't he real if he makes you feel a certain way?
Like Disney.
You're right.
Yeah.
But I think the question was more like centered around like,
is Santa an actual living being that you can,
they can get down your chimney and get to everybody's chimney around the world in one night?
I can't say.
And differentiate between the Christian houses and the houses that don't subscribe to the
Christian faith and and don't believe in Santa.
They're naughty and the nice.
Well, there's that whole thing.
Is he a benevolent Santa where like maybe he might buck the system every once in a while and
just deliver the toys anyways because he sees the kid and he's like, I see your potential.
I feel like your parents are beating you down a little bit right now.
Or is he a Tim Allen Santa and he's just trying to make America Great again for a select few?
So how and when did you find out Santa wasn't real and will make and ruin Santa for his kids?
I found out saying it wasn't real because I was really analytical.
Like I really, really was.
I really used to add things up.
And I think one day I went to school and they did something to affect to teach me how many people there were around the world.
And to my point earlier, it was you just started kind of doing the math.
Freaking Wunderkind over here.
Well, I mean, consider all the houses in the name.
neighborhood alone. And I'm not saying I was like, you know, I was 15 when I had this realization.
You just spit. No, I don't know how old I was. But honestly, you start walking around and you look at the
fucking, you look at the chimneys and you're like, that chimney is barely, you know, the chimneys
was something on top of it and there's like a, it's called a chimney cap. Yeah, chimney cap.
This fucking chimney caps. What does he do about those? Seriously. And what does he do about? No chimneys.
What does he do about going down the wrong chimney
and they don't celebrate Christmas in there?
Wrong house, sorry.
You can use the door.
You know what I mean?
Like,
where do you keep the presents on the sleigh?
The signs are all there.
They're all there.
They're right in front of my face.
Why is there,
why is Santa have the same handwriting my parents have?
Why is there wrapping paper
that Santa's wrapping paper in the kitchen?
Oh, that's a good question.
Did Santa wrap gifts to you?
I think he did.
Yeah, he used a special Santa.
I feel like when I was a youngster,
presents were wrapped from family.
But Santa's presence were unwrapped,
like at the chimney maybe.
I don't know if I had this memory completely right.
It might have just been a bike that was unwrapped for Santa.
I think my parents weren't really like covert.
They had a different wrapping paper for Santa, right?
That little extra step of like, you know, safeguarding so that the cover wasn't blown.
But, you know, like maybe you'd find some wrapping paper in the kitchen in the, in the trash can.
I'm pretty sure I'm imagining that, but I feel like I did at some point.
The signs are all there.
The signs are all there.
Makin, are you going to, are you going to, what, judging by your reaction there,
you're probably going to protect, you know, your future.
your kids from. I don't have any children. So the truth in backslash a would I ruin it for? Of course not.
No. Here's a good one. What is the one thing that makes you in making feel the most uncomfortable?
Well, I compiled a list of a few. Okay. Did you? Yeah. Fuck yeah. I want to hear yours. I'm actually
excited about yours. I'm not that excited to say mine. The cheek kiss. Once you get to a certain age,
I don't know
once you're an adult
and it feels like
there's an older woman
yeah
the greeting is the cheek kiss
oh the cheek kiss is dead bro
well yes thank God
it is now
yeah because I could not get it down
what I would do is
is you you hug the person
and then I would just go like
by the side of their face
and make the kiss sound
yeah
it's like saying thank you to a pedestrian
out loud that in all the windows are, you know, you're welcome or thank you in a car.
Like, thank you, thank you that you don't need to make the noise.
Like a formal cocktail party.
Like, and you see the person come from a mile away, it would make me so un-cala.
Where are you going to fucking Victorian era cocktail parties, getting kissed on the cheek?
Yeah, dude.
Nobody's kissing me on the cheek, bro.
I'm just, you just, look at me.
Do you think I'm like a kiss on the cheek guy?
I like I can even see in my head pictures that that you've you've cheek kissed older women listen
an older woman sure an older an older woman who that's that those were the customs of her era
you know and I'm fine with that and especially listen you're fine with that I'm fine with it for
like an old woman because that's like but anybody who's young enough to know better like let's
not that's a thing going on in social circles bro I'm just not a cheat kisser
Yeah, I don't think we're in an argument of any sort
And anybody who's listening that I might have kissed on the cheek
At some Victorian era party that I didn't know I was at
I apologize
I'm not saying like I remember the situation in horror
But you're right
You're absolutely right
Thank you
It's just not a it's not for me either
Golly make
One for one
You want to go or you want me to
People being rude to servers
makes my skin crawl
makes my skin crawl
it makes my skin crawl
when you're at the other table
and you're being rude to a server
but if you're at my table
and you're being rude to a server
I want to punt you through the wall
rightfully so
I
and like
the no eye contact
you know
the I'll have this
you know like and just kind of like slide the menu
the menu slide
when I was a kid one time
I didn't know any better
I was a gas station
and I slid a dollar bill across to buy something.
And the guy behind the counter, I'll never forget this.
And this is the value of shooting a kid straight,
was like, you never slide money at people.
And I was like kind of taken aback, but I was like,
I'll never forget that.
I like that.
You know what I mean?
Except when you're at the casino, I think you have to.
Yeah, at the casino, but not at like a fucking store or something.
You don't, like, just don't slide things at people.
Just hand them the thing.
You know what I mean?
And if you're at a say please and thank you, obviously,
but make eye contact and I don't know.
Like, it just drives me nuts.
I also had human interaction, public restrooms.
Wait, mine might have been there too,
but we got there already.
Pandemics and podcasting.
Podcasting, yeah, especially after dark.
So I used to hate it when people,
people snuck pictures.
Yeah.
That's one way.
Nobody would sneak a picture of me now.
Like nobody sneaks a picture of a wash podcaster.
It's way cooler to sneak a picture of like a fucking real live NFL player.
And I didn't realize that while I was a player how fucking cool I must have been.
Holy shit, I must have been cool.
Don't fuck around and find out you're cool.
What's worse?
The sneak picture or the making you get up because you're not going to say no.
making you get up to take the picture,
which is going to take 20 seconds out of your evening.
Dude.
And this entire conversation is prefaced with a,
I am so blessed to be somebody when I was as a player
that somebody would even care to take a picture with me.
I don't take that lightly.
But there are common decencies with,
hey, listen, if I'm eating with my family,
like don't walk up and ask me,
if would it be okay?
Because you know what I'm all so bad at is saying,
no, you know, because, you know, of what I just preface the entire conversation with.
But eventually I got old enough that every once in a while I'm going to say no.
You know what I mean? And you just might be the unlucky customer. It might not even be
your fault. But like a sneak flash at a bar, I'll lose my shit over that. You've actually
seen me be upset about that. Yes. Yes, I have. I was on the other side of that one time,
got bad advice from my dad
and we went and we had an opportunity
we pursued it shouldn't have
bothered the lovely
George Wint
also known as Norm from Cheers
at a restaurant called Rules in London
while he was dining with his freaking family
no you did not yes and I was like I don't know
10 but it was like
icy I think I got a
I got a signature
I don't know what we were asking for.
I don't blame him.
I would have flipped the table over on you and beat the shit out of you.
Yeah, it was called Rules in London.
Yeah, so my bad on that one, George.
How old were you?
Like 10.
It was, I totally blamed my dad.
No, my dad, like, walked me up.
We watched every episode of Cheers.
Yeah.
And then it was like, I don't remember it plainly,
but Norm was clearly like,
fuck off.
Politely.
Do you think he feels weird, like riding in his car, listening to this podcast right now?
Hey, the turntables once more.
I know.
The turntables keep turning.
Collared shirts.
Not button downs, as we talked about earlier, collared shirts.
I don't do them.
Well, you do when you have to.
No.
I'm talking about polo.
Oh, right?
You don't?
Yeah, I can't picture that.
I don't wear polos.
I wore polos in 2008.
I quit polos.
Cold turkey is one of the best.
decisions I've ever made in my entire life.
Assault.
Terrible, terrible shirt.
Terrible shirt.
Reserve that for
I don't know who's wearing them actually.
I am. I wear them every day.
Yeah, but you wear button downs a lot.
Dude.
I just, I picture you in a button now before I picture in a polo,
but I'm not thinking warm weather.
Let's see. When I close my eyes and my head pictures,
I see you in a graphic T-shirt.
Fuck you.
watching sex scenes in movies with people around that you are not having sex.
That was the right end of that sentence.
Yeah.
Yep.
That's a really uncomfortable situation.
And watching a video that somebody is showing you is up there.
And I've done that to you in the past three weeks.
I'm sorry.
But you have to admit, I showed you a video recently.
It was the Nicholas Cage Meltdown Compilation.
You can find it on YouTube.
It's called Nicholas Cates losing his shit.
Stop the podcast.
Take three minutes.
It'll be a lot easier because I won't be hovering over you.
But that makes me uncomfortable doing it.
Like when somebody's like, we show me?
I'm like, okay, okay.
Right, but it's worse for the me person.
It is worse for the you person.
Yeah.
But it also sucks to show the video.
Like when you're kind of backed into a corner and you're like,
I guess there's no end to this discussion other than to, I'll show you.
I'll prove it's good.
I hate that feeling.
When people ask me what my schedule is for the day without any pretext, that drives me crazy.
How about tell me what you need first?
Right.
Is that everything?
No, I got one more question for you.
Did you know that your now old theme music, that song is called, and I quote, hard as a rock.
The artist is uncertain, according to Cowboy Reed.
Artist Uncertain.
Uncertain is a cool band name, huh?
Yeah.
Heart is a rock.
That makes sense to wrap up the uncut Christmas version of Greenlight Pod.
And, man, have I told you, I hope you have a Merry Christmas version?
Christmas?
No.
No.
Well, we got two days left at the time of recording, so I'd be early.
Yeah.
I got you a gift.
You're going to feel really bad because I got you a gift too.
You serious?
Yeah.
But it's not a quarter of a bottle of shampoo.
It's on the way to your house right now.
You serious?
Yes.
And that's why I freaked out because I was like, it's on the way to his house.
I was like, it's on the way to his house,
and I'm getting it in person when it's nice and wrapped.
I thought with COVID, it would be irresponsible to do what you did today
and hand me a present that I then unwrapped.
That I've used in my show.
Yep.
And then I touched my face and all types of things.
So it's in the mail or like?
Yeah, it's in the mail.
So I did a hands-free gifting.
Wow.
Yeah.
So next Christmas, if there's another pandemic,
maybe try to do what I did.
When is it arriving?
Should be there either tomorrow morning
or the day after Christmas.
The day after Christmas.
Yeah, it's going to be a little late,
but I thought it would be better
than risking one of my best friends' health and safety.
Well, no, I'd rather everything be there on Christmas.
Really?
Yeah, all my presents.
The day after Christmas.
Fucking Jeff Bezos is doing it as quick as he can.
It's an Amazon gift.
Dude, there's some nice stuff on Amazon, bro.
Thought it might be like something personal.
It is personal.
Oh, cool.
It's to address one of your personal needs.
Oh, tight.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Nothing like what's a shampoo you've used on your, on yourself.
Oh, my person?
Yeah.
No.
Okay.
No, I wouldn't give somebody use shampoo in a pandemic.
Yeah.
To be fair, I use it as body wash as we've covered.
Which just makes it so much better.
Yeah.
So I guess Merry Christmas is what I'm saying too.
Oh, you're not saying it yet.
I'll say it now.
Merry Christmas.
Okay, I don't really do early Christmases.
Right.
Today, as they're listening.
There's one.
When can you stop?
We ask this every year of each other.
When is it okay to stop saying Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays?
December 26th.
It's Merry Christmas, right?
The better question is Happy New Year, which people get very liberal with into, like,
Like late January.
Yeah.
The worst offenders.
Yeah.
Not into that either.
Nah.
Give you a week.
Also, uh, it's just a day on a calendar we made up.
Fuck you.
I love the new year.
Sorry.
I can't tell by the two and a half weeks after it.
Somebody just wishing you well in 2021 and you have a conyption.
I just, I like, um, I like it.
But I do want to wish everybody a very merry Christmas out there.
You guys are awesome, and I want to close by saying thank you for helping make Giovanni's Christmas a little bit better.
Hell of a co-host there.
Awesome.
Awesome, pod.
You feel that seat?
Yeah, it's hot.
Burning a hole in those pants, man.
Burn a hole in those corduroys.
Hey.
Tie water corduroys.
Hey.
They're riding up.
They fit, all right?
Giovanni, anytime you like, my friend.
We should all three to a pod sometime soon, you know?
We'd be a great little team.
Or just you two.
I thought it was terrific.
So thank you.
So thank you for everybody that donated to the GoFundMe.
There's still time to do it.
I think we've probably already hit the match.
You know, I said we'd match up to 5K for a week.
And you guys within a day have knocked it out of the park.
