There's no place to escape to.
This is the last talk.
On the left.
That's when the cannibalism started.
What was that?
It's been a long time.
I hate Christmas.
I hate Christmas.
I love this.
I hate Christmas with you.
Every day I ate some Christmas.
I would like Christmas music if it sounded like that.
I would love it.
I have been alone in a Regency Suites Hotel in Atlanta.
I go down every morning.
Breakfast is served.
Continental breakfast from 7 to 10 in the morning.
I go down. I get my raisin bran and I get two hard boiled eggs.
Every morning.
Every day I'm going down there. It's fucking miserable.
It's 7 o'clock in the morning. I eat my raisin bran.
They're just pumping the like,
What is your Merry Christmas?
There's one old man that was sitting down there.
The whole hotel is empty.
No other human being would be staying in a Regency Suites Hotel
the week before fucking Christmas.
He signs a bunch of people.
He dresses Satan all day.
Maybe John Candy's character in plane trains and automobiles.
The guy who's selling the shower curtain.
But you're just an old man sitting at a table
just playing with this cup.
Just like passing this cup back and forth
like it's a fucking cat toy.
Like his child.
He never had this.
God damn.
And then I get up and then I go.
I fucking drive to work and then get spray paint shut up my nose.
While someone's just being like,
The whole world's falling apart.
You still got a lot of red paint on you right now.
Pretty face character.
It's all in my knuckles and shit.
And it also, I think it's coming out of my pores
because I wore a white shirt yesterday
and my armpits were all red.
So that's healthy.
All right. Welcome to the show everyone.
Obviously it's Christmas time and everyone's like,
Oh, wonderful.
Santa Claus is going to break into our house
and steal all our cookies and maybe leave us
a load of crap.
I absolutely hate Christmas.
I am so with you and I don't want to be a bomb.
But guy.
But I just don't like the holiday that much.
Marcus, you love it. I can tell. Look at your smile.
He's got a twinkle in his eyes.
He's got a holly coming out of the top of his pants.
I love Christmas.
It's a jolly holly time of year.
I'm going to put mistletoe right above the toilet
and really confuse all my guests when they go to the bathroom.
And I'll have my kiss now.
You missed the mistletoe.
But I will say, so yes, Christmas
is a celebration of our Dark Lord and Saviors
fucking ultimate enemy, right?
The stinky desert wizard
known as Jesus Christ.
Right.
But I'd like to say that I think that we
Satan has begun a long game
of trying to get Christmas
and I think we got it now.
Do you think there was a war on Christmas
and Satan's winning?
There's been a war on Christmas.
Oh, okay.
There's been a slow absorption
of Christmas by our Satanic master.
And I mean, because
who gives a shit about Jesus Christ?
Nobody. It's his presence.
It's what am I getting, right? That's all Christmas is.
It brings out the worst in everybody.
It makes everyone a snarling fucking beast.
Oh, that's right. I mean, Jesus Christ was like
Russell Brand. He was born into royalty.
We're giving him gifts as soon as he got out of the pussy.
They didn't do anything to deserve him.
Frankincense, myrrh, and whatever the hell the...
As soon as he showed up!
His mom slept with some dirt guy
out behind a stable
some horse ranger
and she comes back and she
Joseph's like, what are you
and she's just like,
oh, God did it.
Oh, okay. Better believe it.
Yeah, absolutely.
So today we're covering Christmas monsters.
It's the true story of Christmas.
The untold story. And again, if you're a Christmas
traditionalist,
this is going to shake
some of your tradition. This is going to shake
the very platform, the bedrock
of everything you've loved about Christmas.
Oh, yeah. It's the dark side of Santa Claus today.
And I got this first part of the episode.
I got all of this information from
www.av1611.org
Oh, yeah. It's an organization.
I would love to go to their headquarters.
It's just like a random number generator
turned into a URL.
I think so.
This is from their pamphlet about Santa Claus.
Oh, so it's a digital pamphlet?
It's a digital pamphlet. They did publish it.
They did publish it
and hand it out and sell it in various
Christian bookstores. Gregory, we're just not
getting the eyeballs on this that need to see
it. Santa Claus is a pervert. We got to
stop him. You know what I'm doing.
I'm making a.org website.
Get it done.
This folklore and legends surround the mystery
of St. Nicholas.
And St. Nicholas has been around long before
the quote-unquote Santa Claus
character that we worshiped today.
One of the earliest popular legends
of St. Nicholas is the rescue
of three poverty-stricken girls
destined for prostitution.
So he was like Liam Neeson from Taken?
That's right. Yeah, it sounds like he's a
pimp here as well.
See, these girls were poor, didn't have the dowry
for marriage, so St. Nicholas saved
them from a life of shame by providing
the marriage dowries of gold
and they were then able to get properly married.
Oh, so then they can get legally sold.
That's great.
Man, that's great. I thought it was
like, I've got a certain set of skills
that allow me to handle men like you.
And it's just Santa Claus with a fucking
silence.
Another man made-
I like that Santa.
That's my favorite Santa so far.
Another amazing miracle in
the early life of St. Nicholas is the
three young boys who were
sadistically murdered by a wicked
innkeeper who was named Pierre
Huhtad, whose name
loosely translates to Father
Whipper, who also works at
the Ramrod Club
downtown. I love going to the Ramrod
Club and you get all your kinks out.
You know, stressful week, go right down
to the Ramrod, they'll step all over your balls.
I've been on the pack train all day.
I have, you know, I'm working on my office
job, but you know, sweating, it's hard
out there. Well, I don't know if you should be sweating at your desk job.
I would say. Maybe you have a health
problem. Pressure. I'm eating a lot of salt.
Just to cope with what
I'm dealing with. Right. And nothing I like better than a Friday
night is going on a club Ramrod.
Just get my balls hurt.
Oh, just whip by Father Whipper and he's
like, Attila, I smack
your balls with the fries
water. Oh my god.
Oh, I think I feel another fly on
there. Better swap it again.
So the boys who were murdered by
Father Whipper, their bodies were chopped
up and preserved in pickle barrels
with a cannibalistic intent of feeding
their flesh to unsuspecting
house guests. But the amazing
Saint Nicholas resurrected the boys
and their mutilated bodies and Pierre
has been sent as dark
side in France ever since. Now he resurrected
a bunch of pickled kids.
Why are we
alive? Why are we alive?
Well, that's the closest thing to a
merman I've ever seen.
I pray that
I went to heaven
because I was good. Please
shut me back. Save him before the
pickling. That's all I'm saying.
So Saint Nicholas, wonderful
Christian figure. He was
a bishop at one point. This is a man
who would help poor children. He would help
girls. He's a pedophile. He would help girls
from becoming prostitutes. He would help
murdered children.
But Santa Claus is
in fact
Saint Nicholas's dark helper
who over the years has transformed
into the jolly man
that we know today. Let's go into the
transformation. And that's why we should begin a mass
every man who begins to say he's
a representative Santa Claus, whether it be at a mall
whether it be at the bus station
and he's got a fucking fake beard on.
These men need
to be dragged out on the street and beaten
with tennis rackets.
Maybe they're just trying to get a job so
they can support their liquor habit at the mall.
The mall Santa.
Messengers of
Black Pete.
Black Pete.
In certain German children's games
the Saint Nicholas figure itself is the dark
helper, a devil who wants to punish
children but is stopped from doing so
by Christ. Also like Liam Neeson
from Take.
They all want to be him. Liam Neeson
he's got a place, Jesus Christ
as Santa Claus, as his character from
Taken in a film very soon. A Christmas
story. They mentioned Black Pete, right?
That's who Ralphie was trying to shoot with his BB gun.
That was
Black Bart.
Yeah, Black Pete was the janitor
at his elementary school. Oh yeah, I remember
him. White guy, right? Although they didn't
call him Black. That was a much more
offensive name that they called the janitor. It was the 50s.
Yeah.
Janitor's offensive enough. So Black Pete
he is the grandfather
of our modern Santa Claus.
He's known in Holland as
and this 18th
century version is like his
ancient shamanistic ancestor
horrid, fur clad,
terrifying and less than kind
of children. And if you're bad
he'll take you away to Spain. I've been
bad. Take me to Spain, Black Pete.
It's a Spain. Spain.
That's what you mean, tapas? I'll take a jump on
every table I see if that means I get to go to
Spain. Hanging out in the cocktail
bars of Sardinia?
Good God, you mean you're going to take me out of
rural Iowa to go to Spain because I've been
bad? I think I'll hit my mom again.
So although he's portrayed as the slave
helper of St. Nicholas,
the two are in many villages blended into
one character and this figure often
has the name
Nicholas or Claus.
But he still has the swarthy
appearance of the dark helper. I just want to also
keep saying the term swarthy and the
dark helper and Black Pete.
There is some racist overtones
to this character.
Well, I don't know because this character
has been around
long before these people, even these
European people,
Europeans, these Europeans
ever encountered a single Black person.
Politically correct, Henry Zabrowski.
Let's not use that character too much.
So Black Pete like
Santa, he has a coat of hair,
disheveled beard, a bag
and ashes on his face
which is why he was called
Black Pete for it was not
St. Nicholas who originally came down the chimney.
It was Black Peter
who was called the dark one because
he was normally covered in soot
and ashes from the chimney travels.
Because he was his Santa, I mean again
he's Santa's slave,
who's chained to the thing.
He's forced to give the presents to the children.
That's the idea. Santa ate himself
out of the chimney duty
because he didn't want to do it anymore.
So on the eve of December 6th
the myth said that the bearded
white haired old saint
quote unquote saint
clad in a white mantle
rode through the skies on a white horse
with his slave the swirly dark helper.
Yeah, who was on the slave's sleigh
which was just sort of like a swing
that was attached to the bottom of the sleigh.
Just like swirly through the sky.
I love riding with Santa clothes.
It seems like it could be pretty erotic.
Santa's got his shirt blowing in the wind.
They're on the white horse.
The black slave is grabbing him from behind.
Come up here to Black Pete my swirly young man.
Come and sit on Santa's lap.
Santa's lap is cold.
Any instances of homosexuality there?
Any gay instance do you think?
Any gay set between Black Pete and Santa?
Let's just say all of the pieces are there.
I mean you might as well ask
did Andrew Jackson have sex with his slaves?
We all know he did.
So this reluctant helper
Put this dress on. I got it for Sally Anderson in Ohio.
But instead I'm giving it to you Black Pete.
Oh sweet Black Pete.
You've got quite the dangly today.
Reminds me of the bells on my reindeer.
So while Black Pete was forced to give
gifts to good people
he much preferred to threaten them with his broom-like
scourge. What is a scourge?
A scourge is a
it's a whip with little
metal balls at the end. Like a cat and nine tails?
It's like a cat and nine tails.
And at the sign of his master
he would gleefully drag
sinners away to a place of eternal suffering.
Ooh exciting.
So this was hell. Cleveland.
Ah yes.
Instead of taking you to Spain.
So now
that we've talked about Santa's
we're going to be getting a lot of dark helpers later on.
But let's get to Santa
himself and the
occult origins of Santa
and how Santa relates to Satan.
If only this was true.
This would be so much better. What a better story
for Christmas. Who's to say it's not Henry?
I know. That's a good point.
So first let's examine
Santa's trademark Ho Ho Ho.
Now most people don't know exactly
because it was definitely softened from
the original Ho Ho Ho.
Ho Ho Ho. Yeah.
He was just walking around the mean square. Where's the horse?
I'm from out of town
and I'm looking for some straight up
horse. I want to sleep with an old
bearded man. Well don't kill him
one day he's going to be Santa Claus.
So most people don't know
where did the Ho Ho Ho come from?
Is this just a jolly exclamation?
Is this just something that fat guys
say upon entering rooms? Yes and
I'm going to think we get into elevators.
Ho Ho Ho.
Well that's actually what they say.
We'll leave.
We'll just leave. You guys can have the elevator.
There mean
we need two of these elevators huh?
I agree. Oh no.
It is something that someone says upon entrance
but it is not fat men.
It is the devil.
For in pre Shakespearean plays
they had
these two characters in most of these plays.
There would be the devil
and vice and the devil's
ordinary exclamation upon entering
the play would be Ho Ho Ho.
What a fellow I am.
Was he like a Yoda type or
what happened to him?
And that was known as the devil's
bluster. Oh.
Exciting. And of course.
I'm going to start doing this more often. God how bad was
the pre Shakespearean plays.
Yikes. Yeah.
Shakespeare itself kind of sucks. It was
always we're back in the day where it is distracting
from the fact that you died at the age of 38
and if you were 13 you were pregnant.
Right. Right. Right. If you were lucky.
So plenty of people have pointed out
the fact that Santa is
a very easy anagram for Satan.
Oh yes. It's a very easy
anagram. It's funny. Ha Ha Ha.
But it does have some
meaning. Well because it's very true.
What we're going to learn right now is that the idea
of hidden words are very powerful
in magical studies. Yeah. Absolutely.
This guy H.P. Blavatsky
Blavatsky. Blavatsky.
Blavatsky. Get in here. The sausages are late.
Can't believe you
quit the family carpet business
to research Santa and call him
Satan. He's a Satanist
and a New Age teacher. He wrote in a book
called The Secret Doctrine
he said the name isn't important
it's the letters.
I don't know what I got to do to get kids
in the seats. You know. I'm
a New Age Satanist teacher.
I don't know how to get my. I don't know how to put
butts in the seats. I was trying to do some of that
Peter Frampton mouth guitar but I got to tell you
the buzz is uncomfortable. Oh terrible
terrible. It just made me want string cheese.
Meow. Meow.
Meow.
I mean I do.
Other New Ageers
have also used anagrams for Satan
such as Sanat Kumara
in order to trick
people into worshiping the devil
and as for the claws in Santa Claus
claws is an
anagram for Lucas
which is a modern New Age name
for Lucifer.
Cool. Satan.
It seems another modern New Age name seems to mean
that they just made that up.
Yeah. Yeah.
But Gail
but please sir listen to the words of Gail
Ripplinger.
Of course. In her book
New Age versions
here's what she says about the use of
anagrams in the occult world.
Henry what do you think Gail sounds like?
Okay.
Lucifer's now everybody please
please disregard the
sound of my voice and
please listen to the important information
I have to say Lucifer's
true identity as Satan
is revealed as the anagram
a transposition
of letters. That's what that means.
Oh and she's just got the nicest
positive gay southern husband.
Absolutely. This is my husband
Gail.
We are names rhyme.
Well that's why I love her so much. Don't forget to tell
him about the blind sweetheart. Oh yeah you
right. Gail
to obscure the true nature
of a name you use blinds
as esoterics call them
including the scrambling
letters of a name to hide
the true meaning of a word
from the uninitiated.
I love it. I want some lemonade
right now. I don't know why.
And so that is actually very true which is where the idea
of secret schools started back in the day
where it's like you know what they said
where Jesus was a wizard of the Bethlehem
or that whole group
or what's it the
where is he born? He was born in Nazareth.
The Nazarenes. The Nazarenes
were in the Bethlehem
that whole group were a bunch of secret schools
and the idea is that they used riddles and anagrams
and stars to either
talk about teach people
how to make folklore about the seasons
or when the reptilians
are coming back. Yeah they were just making it up
they just didn't know what else to say. Here's another
interesting thing you know we all call them
Saint Nick, Old Nick, things like that.
Old Nick is an old
English term for Satan.
Oh yeah. They call him Nick, they'd call him Scratch
and there was a lot. There's a pepper bud.
Scratch. They call him Dingley Dangle.
They call him Mike. Was Charles Manson
naming all these people?
Oh Scratch get on over here.
Ah you got ah ha ha ha.
It's my buddy. His name is Snickity Snack.
Oh it's so nice to have Charles
with us. Charles what are your plans for Christmas?
Well the first thing I plan to do is dig
a nice hole in the dirt. I'm going to take a dump on it.
Well that's sort of a gift
that keeps on giving. I call it a foolish stocking.
I got spiders on my feet but you know what
I'm okay with these spiders. It's Christmas
you gotta open your heart.
It's better than a stocking full of cold.
Hopefully you're dooky.
So scholars, they mostly
biblical scholars, they concur that Christ
was actually born in the fall
on the fourth day of the Feast of Tabernacles.
December 25th is actually
the feast in honor of the birth
of the son of the Babylonian Queen of Heaven
later called Saturnalia
by the heathen Romans.
Saturnalia? She had a mole.
Yeah Saturnalia.
It sounds like an erotic festival.
Or an oil.
Something you put all over your Brussels
sprouts to make it taste so good. But again we knew all this
they blumped all the holidays together
so that people would still have days off
from their fucking sheep herder job.
Yeah so they could still take it.
You don't take a day off sheep herding buddy.
Well you know what, it's a lifestyle.
We'll actually talk later about what happens in Iceland
if you take a day off from sheep herding.
It is terrifying.
Again we'll go and tell
Christmas in Europe is scary.
Oh everything in Europe is terrifying.
It is also
worth noting that Santa
is Spanish for Holy.
Sure. Santa is also from the Latin
word Sanctus which means also
saintly or holy. Marcus you're taking us down
a pipe here. How does this go?
Our English word
sanctify comes from
the Spanish word Santa
sounds like Satan's
claim in the Bible of
how will be like the most high plan
is in action. In other words
Holy Clause a.k.a. Holy Lucas
a.k.a. Holy Lucifer
it's about worshiping
Satan. Thank God I feel better now.
I'm going to go put up Christmas decorations now.
And Clause also sounds like
Clause
with the W. Maybe Santa Clause
means Satan's Clause
like a lion's Clause.
But let us read from the Bible.
We shall read from 1 Peter
chapter five
verse eight. Be sober
be vigilant because your
adversary is the devil. As a
roaring lion walk at the bout
seeking whom he may devour
verily verily I say unto you
he that entereth
not by the door into the sheep fold
but climbeth up some other way
chimney
the same is a thief
and a robber.
Well that seals it.
Yeah that does it. So they just
2000 year old logic does it again.
And I've got more for you man.
I'm not done. I'm not done. Good.
Most people were unaware that until the
19th century Santa flew through the sky
not in a sled drawn by reindeer
but on a white
horse. That's right.
And it wasn't until 1821 that the
magical white horse. That horse
was fucking terrified. Terrified.
Terrified.
No wings not supposed
to be flying.
And then on the eve of December 6
as I mentioned earlier the myth said
the bearded white haired old saint
quote unquote, Clyde in a mantel
rode through the skies on a white horse
you know there's another character who travels
on a white horse. Who? Johnny Cash.
Is that right Johnny Cash? Is that who it is?
The Antichrist.
Antichrist. Let us read from
Revelation chapter 6
verse 2 and I saw
and behold a white horse
and he that sat on him had a bow
and a crown was given unto him
and he went forth conquering
and to conquer. But it'll know that modern
Biblical scholars have now discovered
that they were talking about Bruno Mars.
Oh I love Bruno Mars.
Show a bow like a bow tie
or like a bow like a weapon. Like a weapon.
Or a stick. Santa's just rolling around
on a horse with a stick coming to your house
and that's why you gotta feed him. He'll kill you.
He'll kill your entire family.
Believe me I've been traveling all over the world
and I also get hungry.
And if I don't get them fucking cookies
when I'm expecting them I'm going upstairs
I'm gonna start sucking your kids' dicks.
If I'm Santa Claus.
That's not what you should do if you're hungry.
There's other options out there.
We talked a little bit about Black Pete earlier.
One of Santa's dark helpers. Let's get to
what is possibly Santa's
most infamous dark helper
Krampus. Now I will say
you're pretty face going to hell a little bit of a spoiler.
We have done a Christmas episode that features
a Krampus and it is a lot of fun.
That's awesome. We had a very good time.
Krampus. Krampus. Krampus.
Krampus is a half goat
half demon beast
who literally beats people
into being nice and not naughty.
I think that's like, you know, spare the rod.
I agree. You spoil the child
and that's why all these kids are out there
listening to their iTunes.
And their iPhones. And they're playing
games or gem games.
Can't be farmer, farmer
you tell me you want me to be a farmer
on Facebook. You need to be a farmer in Idaho.
That's what I say. We're running out of farmers.
We're running out of farmers.
Meanwhile, you're tagging me in post about
how there's your, your cow is sick. I say
feed the goddamn cow. Feed down the goddamn cow.
Get a job and make money and get that grain.
I'm very upset with the youth.
Very upset with what's happening.
Farmville. I remember when I was a kid
farming. Farming. There was,
there were farms around. Working so hard.
Yeah. Farming all the meat
from the Arby's refrigerator
over to the, over to the Jill Slicer.
Slicing it up. Just getting all sweaty.
Sometimes I would bleed in it.
The Krampus goes by many names.
My favorite is Gunfnickel.
Gunfnickel.
Gunfnickel. God, I would pay
I would pay a nickel for it.
Forever. For a Gunfnickel.
I feel like you go to the store in the 1930s
and you're like, I'll have four Gunfnickels.
And he's just saying he just tugs on your balls four times.
You give him 20 cents. That ain't all, young man.
That's great. Well, I don't know how I'm cured
but I feel my polio going away now.
So Krampus, Krampus is usually
seen as a classic devil
with horns, cloven hooves,
a monstrous red tongue.
But he can also be spotted as a sinister
gentleman dressed in black.
Or a hairy man beast.
There's a lot of things there.
There's a lot of stuff. There's a lot of stuff.
It's a wide berth as far as
what Krampus is all about.
He punishes the naughty children
with bundles of twigs.
Brutin' bundles. Brutin' bundles.
And he also uses rusty change
which sometimes had bells attached
and he would swap the children
before dragging them away in baskets
to either a fiery place
down below, into the black
forests of Germany, or
to the nearby body of water for a quick drowning.
And in some legends he has a drowning
tub that he also drags with him.
That it clean any clangs of the night.
That story back in the 1800s
followed by a blow out of the candle.
Good night, Tom. Good night, Tom.
Good night, little Tommy. Oh, good.
Bill, I have to wake up in three hours
so I can get back to milking.
Yes, Tommy. Yes.
You get drugged by the crazy Santa Claus man.
Krumpus, fella.
Here's the origins of Krampus.
His name is derived from the German word
Krampen. Krampen.
Krampen, which means claw
and he's said to be the son of hell
in Norse mythology. Cool.
In Norse mythology, hell is the ruler
of Helheim, the realm of the dead.
Which is when I imagine what it looks like
is like the cover of a metal album.
You know what I mean? It's just like long bearded
hair and like columns and she's, you know,
some dude with his dick out in the huge like
four fucking fredded guitar
with the four fucking tops to it.
I don't know guitars. Yeah, that's about right.
Yeah, that works.
Hell is the youngest child of the evil god
Loki in the giantist, Ang Boda.
And she's usually described
as a horrible hag, half alive
and half dead with a gloomy
and grim expression. You talking about my ex
girlfriend? Ah, I love that joke.
This is Krampus' mother, by the way.
Her face and body are those of a living
woman, but her thighs and legs are
those of a corpse, mottled and
moldering. The gods.
That's pretty hot. She's kind of, how does
she move? Mottled and
moldering. Oh, yikes.
Mmm.
Her boobs are hot, but her pussy's cold.
Yeah, I'm all dead down there.
They're just describing every house
wife in Nebraska.
I'm all dead down there.
I can't wait for my wife to tell me that.
Leave it alone.
It might as well.
Ah, there it been.
You want to take a stab at my old pouch
there. You're going to be having
sicks with the corpse there. The cops are
going to take you.
I didn't know you were half dead.
Well, I still love her.
I'll get some more
mashed potatoes for you.
So the gods abducted
hell and her brothers from
Engerboda's hall
that cast her into the underworld
into which she distributes those who are
sent to her, the wicked and those
who die of sickness or old age.
Her hall is Helheim
and it's called El Eudner
Home of the Dead.
You've got good pronunciation
guide from Ragnar.
That's all Icelandic stuff.
This is just me talking out of my ass.
I'm going to say again, we are doing our best
to get better at the pronunciation.
We're trying to get off of our cocks.
We know. We know. We are ignorant.
Yes, we know.
I'm not a fucking college professor.
You piece of shit.
You nail it.
You've never mispronounced a word in your life, Marcus.
You nail it.
You are about the sound of it.
It's the meaning behind it.
Exactly.
So her maid servant is Genglott
and she has a man's servant named
Genglötti
and both of those can be translated into
tardi.
Now does that mean retardy?
No, no, no.
What are we going on?
What are you doing?
Why you got stinky legs.
Sorry, what was that?
You got stinky legs. Yes. Mama's got stinky legs. Oh, well, I'm all dead down there
Thank you ganglady. No, I'm just glad you're alive enough to be our mom
Really actually kind of sweet and almost warmed my vagina. So that's Krampus's mother
Now let's get back to those bundle of sticks that we talked about earlier. Yeah, let's oh, we talked more about bundles of sticks
I love this part of the pocket
Those may have a connection with the initiation rights of certain witch covens for rights
Which entailed binding and scourging as a form of mock death and the chains could have been introduced in a Christian attempt to
Bind the devil, but again those could also be a remit of pagan initiations
I'm just gonna be really happy when every single bundle of sticks in America can get married. Yeah
That's gonna bundles of sticks deserve love, too
I agree with you. So according to folklore and this date shows up again and again
December 6th
Krampus shows up in towns on December 6th is known as Krampus knocked Trump was knocked. Ooh, that's not good
That means Krampus night. It's a cool fucking name for a holiday though. If there's ever a holiday Krampus knocked
It's just again. It just sounds like a
Yeah, that's true
Oh
Yeah, I'd bang my head a little bit to that
December 6th also happens to be
Nick or stag or St. Nicholas's Day when German children look outside their door to see if the shoe or boot they left outside the night before
Contains either presence a reward for good behavior or a rod or a bundle of twigs
This is all back in the day where it's like and it wasn't like a fucking PlayStation 4
No, it was like a shovel so you can help with the rock farm with your family or it was like a pee or like one of the
Rude wooden horses that you just stared at. Well, you know, you know for a fact you're not getting new shoes
That's like an impossible thing to fit in there and in other versions Krampus is an incubus who accompanies Santa Claus in the night of Christmas
That's much crazier. Yes. What he's goes in there. He's just like he just
I mean sex with the dad and like and flirting with the kids. I think it's the children. Yeah, I think it's going like
Do you think I'm sexy come on children, let me know. I'm not sure if Rod Stewart was around yet
This moves through space and time. Oh, I see I didn't realize the truth behind that last sentence
So as far as people co-opting Krampus young people in the mid 19th century
Used to dress as the devil and stand along with others dressed as Saint Nicholas in the marketplace
Waiting to be hired to come to homes and visit children to scare them. God damn it Becky
It's so difficult having this child scare business. There's no good Krampus is around. I haven't found a good Krampus in three years
He's lazy hipster pieces
I think she's being bad. Did you want to go into town and get to Krampus for us? Yeah
Oh, yeah, sounds like something that's glazed. Mmm. I would eat it in Europe
He began to gain popularity outside of the remote isolated alpine areas where he
originated doing part to the popularity of Christmas cards
portraying him in the late 19th and early 20th centuries Krampus is often featured looming menacingly over children
He's also shown as having one human foot in one cloven hoof and in some Krampus has sexual overtones
For he is pictured pursuing bucks and wins. Now. This is the Krampus that I view as being played by Rodney Dangerfield, right?
Yeah, give me some of them. I just can't get any respect. They're grabbing movies everywhere, right?
Yeah, well, yeah, if you go back and watch those Dangerfield movies, you didn't get a lot of respect because technically he's a felon
It's kind of interesting, but the Hallmark doesn't make that card anymore though
I want to see a good Krampus card come back from Hallmark
I'd love to see one. Just like one that says Merry Christmas. You got the tits a Krampus would love. Oh, yeah
I want a gift they are for me
So Krampus's frightening presence was suppressed for many years the Catholic Church for example forbade the raucous
celebrations and fascist World War two Europe found Krampus despicable because it was considered a creation of the social Democrats
So the Nazis did take offense to one Krampus ramp out of all the things that they could have been like maybe we should not genocide
Well, okay, listen everybody first first point of the meeting is if we're getting the Jew children's shoes
I want the good ones the shitty ones we burn right second one is we got to get rid of this Krampus piece of shit because it's making us look bad
Great the Holocaust making us look great, you know and in the 50s after World War two in Austria home of Hitler
The government distributed pamphlets that also Arnold Schwarzenegger
The government distributed pamphlet pamphlets that were simply titled Krampus is an evil man
Sure. All right, but he's not real at all
I think the way you do it is you the government the way you got to do opposite psychology
I mean the government thinks that Krampus is a cool fucking dude
Yeah, and you have them co-op Santa Claude Krampus put sunglasses on him and a skateboard and be like Krampus was you'd have a good
Krampus knock and no one will like it anymore not one bit
So a more modern take on the tradition in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Slovenia and the Czech Republic involves drunken men dressed as devils
who take over the streets for a
Krampus loft which means a Krampus run when people particularly young women are chased through the street by the devil
It's a rape parade. Yeah, I was gonna actually make a joke about rape night and stuff like that
But that's really what it is. You know what I'll say is that that's that and people don't like Santa con
Yeah, I mean, they wonder why oh boy. This is a fucked up version of Santa. I will say in Atlanta
There is a Krampus crawl that they do where people dress up as Krampus and stuff and they go from bar to bar in a big
Pub crawl and it's fucking great. I cuz it's not rapey. It's I mean it's all rapey, but everybody's it was a rape
No, it's just women are like wearing no clothes
Oh, that's and like Krampus horns and the men and like all the guys who do the puppets are pretty face
We're dressed in these like nine foot tall
Krampus uniforms. He's huge. It was awesome. That's amazing. So one American did go to one of these Krampus
Celebrations over in Germany and this is what they will say they sit about the the Krampus celebrations Krampus will hit you
There are dozens of men dressed as Krampus, he will hit you, but he aims for the legs
Oh, yeah, only stings for a moment and you get the rooting bundles that like Michaels. They're not hard
They're not right. No, no, no and while the majority of Krampus say Krampus a that's Krampus a that is the
plural of Krampus the Krampus a
They steamed content to harass the crowd on foot while some rode in large carts or vehicle shooting flames or bellowing smoke
That's awesome. They were particularly brutal to anyone who taunted them or tried to retaliate. Yeah, I bet
Mm-hmm particularly large and frightening Krampus chased down an offending teenager
threw him to the ground and sat on his chest and the boy looked terrified and near tears
Yes, I didn't realize they were taken down the youth
Yeah, I'm bro Krampus
Huh and the narrow streets in the old city section of Salzburg were packed with pedestrians as the crampus a
Stomped through many people were caught unaware and reacted with terror
Some would flee and try to seek refuge in a shop or restaurant only to be pursued by a determined
Crampus is a huge fucking drunk ass German dude. Just go like
That is scared. That is terrifying might stay in house. I might stay inside that day. Oh, yeah, or be a Krampus
You only got two options. Yeah, I just want to work Krampus
How I wonder if your grandfather celebrated it at the camp just to make it extra scary
I don't know. I don't know if they needed to make it any scary. It's a while to get to it though
Waited till the end he waited till the end. Yeah, I just did one. Yeah, you just did one
We've mentioned Germany a number of times already. Yeah, well, let's go from Germany over to my I would definitely say
My favorite Christmas
Icelandic now again
It is very difficult to have a Merry Christmas. Yeah as an Iceland
I don't know because they seem like very like beautiful fun-loving people
It's rough. Yeah. Yeah, this is real rough. There's a dark underbelly to the Icelandic culture
Huh, they get Christmas. They get that Christmas is a mournful shitty holiday. Yeah, they know that my good Christmas
Just it's the worst. Yeah, it's dying and I went to a friend Ragnar for who is from Reykjavik
I went to him for a correct pronunciations on these. We're gonna start off with Yolkutrin
That is the Yule Cat. I am the Yule Cat
Well, the oldest written source is on the Yule Cat are from the 19th century
And these refer to the fact that those who do not get a new item of clothing for Yule are
Destined to become sacrificial offerings for the Yule Cat and eaten
So you got to get new clothes. Otherwise you get eaten. Yes. Oh, yeah
You got to be regular Lady Gaga over there. Oh my god. No dress. This is from Ragnar
He said if you don't get clean clothes in a bath for Christmas or are not eaten the cat eats you
Still said to kids today quote we got to get you new clothes
We wouldn't want you to end up and say the Yule Kutrin. Oh, that's great 2014. They still say this to children
It's amazing the bath thing there aren't they bathing on a daily basis. I don't know once a year. It's hard
Because the problem is that you got to drag the big tin fucking bucket out into the town square
Where there's the one pump and then you got to go and take that over to the cold area and get it good and bubbling
Right, you got to wait for it to stop being literally boiling right where you can get inside for the mayor comes and washes you
Yeah, town soup. Yeah
Yeah, so this tradition is based on the fact that every effort was made to finish all of the work with the autumn wool
Before Yule and the reward for those who took part in the work was a new piece of clothing while those who were lazy
Received nothing so the Yule cat was used to inspire the peasants into working harder
So the for their sheet master the Yule cats like fashion, please
That's yesterday's shirt. That's yesterday's look
I'm gonna eat you now
And now we get to I love these guys
I would also do put this is like if you as a listener last podcast
I want to start calling our listeners Yule lads. Oh
Yep, the Yule lads known in their native tongue is Yola suena. Oh, yep
They are oftening they often accompany the Yule cat Ragnar described them as quote
Petty thieves and criminals led by a useless wreck of a father and a horrible ogre's for a mother
Yeah, so basically it's like newsies. Yeah
It's just like a bunch of like whip snapping fucking snapping flip on a coin like weird petty criminals that are around a giant cat
That hates your old clothes
Seems just like that sitcom Roseanne
Yeah, that's not too bad
So the Yola suena their Icelandic trolls who put rewards or punishment into shoes placed by children in window sills
During the last 13 nights before Christmas Eve Wow every night one Yuletide lad visits each child
Leaving gifts or rotten potatoes
To me a rotten potato is a gift fool. Gee you fucking idiot
I love it. I love them. Yeah
So let's go to we have a list of all 13 Yule lads
Oh, and in fact when I asked Ragnar, I was like hey, could I get some print pronunciation on
On the Yule lads on the Yola suena. He's like, yeah, we're right in the middle of the 13 days
So in Iceland they still do the 13 days. Absolutely. It's basically you are yours

pronunciation from ragnar these I know I'm actually pronouncing right, okay, there is a grilla and
Lepeluthe, huh? Yeah, okay, and Lepeluthe. It doesn't look like that
No, it doesn't which is why I'm almost positive that I pronounce all the names before there's like seven vowels in Lepeluthe
Yeah, they do it different Lepeluthe
Hmm, uh without a doubt the most hideous ogres that ever existed in Iceland are the yule lads parents particularly
Grilla she has three heads three eyes in each head horribly long curved fingernails
Icy blue eyes at the back of the head
Horns like a goat and her ears dangle down to her shoulders and are attached to the nose in front
She has a beard on her chin that is like knotted yarn on a weave with tangles hanging from it
While her teeth are like burnt rocks and a great honestly, I would I'd swipe right I think she's hot
I think at this point because you're doing the tinder thing where you just swipe and write on everybody
Yeah, I've never used it, but uh, you know, I pretend like it's on my phone. Oh
Oh, that is sad. That really is sad
Yeah, because um, but you'd still have sex with that with that three uh headed nine-eyed woman
Goat woman goat woman with the beard. Yeah, yeah, yeah, because it's all about if she's funny or not
I guarantee you she's got a great sense of humor. Oh, she asked
And in a verse from the Sturlunga saga
Grilla is described as a monster with 15 tails and a similar description may be found in a poem from the 16th century
However, that version takes the description further by claiming that each tail contains
100 sacks and each of those sacks contain 20 children
There's a lot of math in this man. I can't handle all the all the math. It's just 2,000 children
Two, it's oh that is true. That is easy math. Yeah, dad. That's 20 times 100. That's 2000
Resident evil it reminded me of a resident evil villain. Yeah, you're always gonna be popping the sacks on that goddamn video game
That's disgusting. So the kids are just hanging out like the matrix and these little sacks on the screaming their heads
Oh, wow
According to some sources Grilla has been married three times
Her first husband was named Guster, but that marriage did not last since Grilla reportedly ate him
Long-term relationships are hard. Well, she you know, it's it's really hard
It's hard to keep it to go to have that spark. Yeah
She subsequently took a husband by the name of Boli with whom she had a number of children
He had Boli was rocking that cram pussy back and forth
Wimp, wimp, wimp, wimp. Oh, yeah, because she had nine cram pussies. Oh, yeah
Yeah, that's a woman we don't talk about and her bush here was made out of snakes. Oh, I love good snakes though
Meanwhile, Grilla's present husband Le Paluthe
Is familiar to most people and he is generally nearby when Grilla appears
The pair of them are said to have produced 20 children of which 13 are the popular yule lads
I cannot I could the seven unpopular yule lads. God. That's sad. That's sad
Yeah, no, you're not part of the yule swan it fuck off. That's sad for those seven kids
You know, they're probably just gay and trying to be in show business
So did they date Grilla?
Yeah, you got a quarter of them dates. I gotta feel her gifts. I got a feeling she took him
Oh, I thought they go to like a Chili's and it's just like I'm Meredith and um, if you're looking for the spatches
Gotta treat her right take her to Chili's where they're both trolls
So she may be fairly so their favorite restaurant is definitely Chili's definitely or Applebee's
I love Chili's. I hate Chili's so much. There's not a restaurant in the world that I hate more than Chili's
I want my baby back baby back baby back ribs. Well, I
Almost forgot about it. You know what I mean? There was a brief second in time
Which I thought maybe I will never hear that ever again. Maybe back ribs. Maybe loved it
So even though Grilla is still actively used to frighten children some sources maintain that she's dead
This information pops up in various popular Christmas songs and unsurprisingly not many people mourn Grilla's demise
Oh, that's rude
But some of the songs
Contained provisions that she would come back to life if the number of naughty children increases
Well, if these kids go on some of these 4chan message boards, I think you're gonna see Grilla
They're gonna be coming back because of how many hacks
Going on there some naughtiness happening some naughtiness going down and go to 4chan. Well, you still can people
It's gonna be shut down soon. Oh, yeah, man. Do you think so? Yeah, totally. Oh, yeah, b's not gonna be around much longer
That's sad. Yeah, maybe x will still live somewhere, but b x is the quality of x has severely dropped. Oh, yeah
Yeah, yeah 4chan sucks
So let's go back to Germany. Let's go back to Germany for a man named
Hans trop. I love this guy. Hans trop is amazing
He's vain cunning heartless and cruel and it said that trop worship Satan and used black magic and occult rituals to obtain his wealth
And hold on to his power when he was still human. He's a romney. I want to hang out with this guy
This is the guy I want to like go to Vegas with so he's a rich dude with no soul or no social uh, no, uh, moral compass
Yes, this is perfect. Yeah, he's gonna be president. It's like a Saudi king
So when the catholic church became aware of these misdeeds for this was back in olden times when the catholic church
Still had the power to bring people to court
Hans trop was arrested and brought before the pope in Rome and those priests being okay, mr.
Trapper just got
Can you put the handcuffs on yourself because I'm not really, you know, I have sex with boys
I can't just be wrestling a full grown man
So for satanic deeds trop was excommunicated from the church for the crime of sacral is
Sacrilege and was subsequently stripped of his land and money and was exiled into the nearby mountains of Bavaria
Where he built himself a makeshift makeshift sack shack made from sticks. Who was like the unabomber?
Yeah, oh, yeah, more fun. Yeah, because you know, we had like cologne on
Yeah, unabomber did not wear cologne. Maybe rabbit shit that he would grind up in a little
Whatever muddler gotta go to town better be smelling dapper
So his anger and resentment was intensified and became even more deeply devoted to satanism
He roamed the countryside and disguised disguised himself as a scarecrow by stuffing his ragged clothes with straw
Fuck yeah, and then I just kind of stand there like this
And that's all I do. I tell you one thing about the outfit
Certainly scares a crap out of birds. Yeah, I haven't scared anybody yet, but um nonetheless
Well, one day he did scare a child. He spotted a young shepherd boy making his way through the woods
Hey kid, I'm a talking scarecrow
Yeah, do you have any
sausages?
Yes, I have some sausages just come closer. I will text him. I will come. Oh, no
Oh, why did they put the hook on the back of my leather horse? I am so easy to lift. I am so easy to steal
The boy was only 10
But Hans trop was determined to kill and eat him as he stared at the young boy
He began to drool at the mouth imagining biting into his delicious and tender flesh
I haven't had lunch yet. So I am also hungry. I know I'm a little bit hungry too
And before the boy knew it was happening
Hans trop pounced attacking him viciously and running him through with a sharpened stick
Then he dragged the dying child back to his shack where he cut the boy into small pieces and roasted them over an open fire
And when his monstrous meal was ready, Hans trop licked his lips and prepared to taste human flesh for the first time
And then he and then he flipped a switch and the signs had opened outside
And he said this is the first chili's ever and he put up a sign and people came in and they had great appetizers for $4.99
Oof Hans, I love your mixture of satex and culture and some Mexican culture
Yes, it's a child or eating
However before a morsel could enter his mouth a bolt of lightning came from the sky and struck him dead
And as the story goes
God would not allow the abomination to continue and decided to end the crimes of Hans trop once and for all
I like to see this
This is the thing too. It's it. All right one kid almost gets eaten by a guy and God decided to stop him
God made eights
Yeah, sure
But also waited until the boy was murdered and cut into pieces and cooked before stopping
That's the same thing going back to the pickled guy. This guy waits until he's all chopped up and pickled these kids before it brings them back
Yeah, but st. Nicholas is actually better than god. Where was it?
Because st. Nicholas resurrected the children while god just shoved a lightning bolt and Hans trop's ass
Also, there were straight up dog
There were straight up fucking real priests that knew what was going on here
They knew they got to keep an eye on Hans trop and what were they doing?
There were two buddies getting their fucking nickels fucking fondled by a bunch of costratos
Yeah, flicking little beans
Well, I'm sure they noticed when there's nine o'clock below job appointment didn't show up that day when the 10 year old boy was kidnapped
Where's spin? Where's my favorite sucker spin?
Yeah
And since that time Hans trop has remained a terrifying legend for every Christmas
He goes from house to house clad in his scarecrow disguise
Scaring the life out of small children and drooling greedily over their tender flesh
Wow, I love that story. I miss being a kid. Yeah, I'll miss you be scared by this kind of stuff
I used to be scared but I always be I would be like, no, they want it
You know, I know all you guys want it, but now no one treats me like that anymore and finally
Frau perchta will rip out your internal organs and replace them with garbage also known as burger king
That's that that's that's all that's all our that's all our christmas monsters
Man this week dare I say macy's walmart
All this capitalism they ruin the tradition of christmas. That was such a more fun
Experience for the kids. It really was and now everyone's just like I'm gonna be naughty and I'm still gonna get my ps4
I'm still gonna get my flat screen. I'm still gonna get my abs. Yeah. Yeah now. They were used to be fucking
Yeah, there were sticks in christmas. Yeah, I'm not letting my eyes and that's why Iceland's cool because there's still stakes
Because they still tell people in all seriousness
If you don't get new clothes and take a bath if you're not good the yolk hats gonna come eat you
But I think really the response is gonna sit on your laptop while you're trying to write your screenplay
And what are you gonna do exactly the responsibility there is on the parents though
If you're a parent it's gotta be kind of stressful because you know you got to get your kids some new clothes
And they're going to be gone because also never mind the costume budget of being a parent in those days because how many times
You got to dress up as crampus dress up as Hans trough now as we talked about earlier
There were dudes that hung out in the village
Crampus for hire. You know these guys
What a bunch of perverts hell of a life though hell of a life
So do we want to go out on on the one christmas to me moment? I will allow us allow us to do
Let's do it now. There's a beloved character that I just want to do
Because I feel like he's got a good connection to the to this fucking bullshit
Uh and he he just wants everyone to have a very merry christmas
The man is full of uh of buttery goodness and he has nothing but sweetness in his heart
All right, everyone now it's time for the last podcast and Laugh presents detective popcorn singing have yourself a merry little christmas
