This year, amping myself up for the final Star Wars movie. Oh. Bring it amped. the final Star Wars movie. Oh.

The final Star Wars movie for about a year until the next one comes out. I'm starting this now. I will be done by the time Rise of Skywalker comes out, but I'm going to watch every single Star Wars movie and probably some of the shows leading

up to it. Wow. You got to find the Wookiee Christmas special. Oh, I've heard about that. Yeah. There's a Wookiee Christmas special? It's known as like one of the worst pieces of garbage ever made. Amazing.

It was like, it was a TV special. And it's really, really hard to find because like LucasArts or Lucasfilm like tried to bury it. Wow. I love stuff like that, guys. But it's like a three camera like sitcom kind of thing. It's freaking great. But it's just Wookiees talking in

Wookiee language. That's all? That's all you hear? That's all you hear. I don't think there's any subtitles or anything. The video is available to watch on YouTube currently. Amazing. Amazing. It's an hour and 40 minutes long. Well, I'm watching that too. Imagine just hearing someone watching it in the other room.

And you just hear. And then you just hear. It's a calm audience. They just like sing Christmas songs. I don't know. I don't think they sing Christmas songs. I hope they do. Wookiees don't celebrate Christ.

They do? Pretty amped for that. Yeah, Carrie Fisher sings a Christmas song. Star Wars Christmas song. Carrie Fisher. Oh my goodness. Is the entire cast in it? Yeah.

Oh my God. Are you serious? We have to watch this. Oh, Harrison Ford reluctantly there. Well, everyone in it feels like they want to die, but it's not all Wookiees. There's just a Wookiee part. There's a lot of Wookiee parts,

but the whole thing is really, really bad, but also really incredible. That's awesome. It's basically an anthology series with the Wookiees as the core. Oh, sorry. That's my bad. Nice.

Well, I'm going to watch that too. I'm going to watch all of them. I thought you were talking about Christmas movies that you watch every year for the holidays. No, I'm going to watch that too. I'm going to watch all of them. I thought you were talking about Christmas movies that you watch every year for the holidays. No, no. I'm going to watch every Star Wars movie leading up to Star Wars. Do you guys have Christmas movies like that though? Home Alone.

I watch. I end up watching it at some point every year. You know those like claymation ones? Oh, yeah. Those ones are creepy. Little Drummer Boy. Those ones are, some of those are scary extremely creepy

what's the one there's the like story of Saint Nicholas when he's like a teenager and he like is fighting demons yeah

and like it's nuts he fights a warlock who then becomes nice yeah there's some crazy shit in those yeah

and like like musical stuff it's really fun just watching a claymation like sing it's so weird yeah yeah I do enjoy Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer fun just watching a claymation like sing it's so weird yeah yeah

I do enjoy Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer that's the only claymation one that I that one's a really good one Land of Mystic Horse eat Santa eat

who wants a skinny Santa oh yeah he was very skinny in the beginning Yukon Yukon Cornelius the best Yukon Cornelius, the best.

Yukon Cornelius? Yeah, he's the best. Yeah, and then Didn't you know? Burgermeister Meister Bumbers Bounce! I have no idea

what you're talking about. If you think my insane best be careful character is fun in any sort of capacity, watch Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Every character in it is that character.

Like Yukon Cornelius is very much that. Every character in Rudolph the Red-nosed reindeer every character in it is that character like yukon cornelius is very much that every character in rudolph the red-nosed reindeer speaks like in some sort of insane way because i think they must have made that at the height of cocaine no that was made in like the the height 40s are you sure yes rudolph the red-nosed reindeer was made yeah it's a super old but it. But it's in color and everything. Yeah, so is Wizard of Oz. Well, Wizard of Oz was like one of the first movies in color. I want to say Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. It also has Burl Ives as the snowman, which means it's definitely, at the latest, it's in the 60s.

It's 1964. Wow. Not the height of cocaine, 1964. What was the height of cocaine? 80s 1982 November at some point in the early 80s was the height of cocaine so I guess the height of drugs

but 64 is still that's pushing it it's still pre-drugs I think it's like alcohol maybe but the 20s was the peak of alcohol. It's very 60s. The music in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is very 60s. Yes.

In the St. Nicholas one, there's like a random song. You don't even know what they're singing about sometimes. Oh, yeah. They don't make sense. It's awesome. But they are fun. I'm trying to think like, yeah, because I don't have any like traditions of like watching movies. I'm trying to think like what's the best Christmas movie.

And I'm so sick trying to think like, what's the best Christmas movie. And I, I'm so sick of people be like, die hard. It's the best Christmas movie. It has to be, it has to Christmas has to be like a huge element of it. And die hard is an action movie that takes place during, just because it takes place during Christmas time.

I think some movies just throw in a Christmas scene just to save themselves. Like, Oh yeah. And then just in case this is a Christmas movie but I okay here's my controversial opinion though I do think they're not Christmas movies

but I do think Harry Potter and Star Wars both are movies that are even better to watch around Christmas time the first Harry Potter is a Christmas movie the first Harry Potter does feel very Christmassy it's for sure a Christmas movie I just think those series because around

the holiday season you end up with a little bit more time to binge a movie series like that and it's so fun they're in scarves and shit of course it's freaking winter there is usually a holiday section of every harry potter movie yeah christmas it's like a whole school year happening yeah christmas vacation's really good i love christmas vacation it's so Christmas Vacation's really good. Oh, I love Christmas Vacation. It's so wacky. It's so good. It's so funny. Dude, Love Actually.

I do enjoy Love Actually. I just saw that for the first time. Yeah. Recently? Yeah. How did you feel? It's all great except for Rick Grimes and his stupid cards holding at the door. Yeah, that part's weird.

Ugh. Ugh. Yeah. You know what, really part's weird. Ugh. Ugh. Yeah. You know what, really? But there's something in my pocket. Or whatever that song is. Yeah.

It's so good. I feel it in my pocket. Fingers. In my pocket. It's so good. It's so good. What honestly, like I watched it last Christmas and I always forget how perfect of a movie it is. Yeah.

Is Elf. It is. Yeah. Is Elf. It is. It is so good. It's so wholesome. It really is. It has so many funny scenes in a row. It's a good cast too. I feel like a lot of people wrote that off because that was like in the height of people

complaining about Will Ferrell just playing man child roles. No, because Elf is before Anchorman. Yeah. And that's before like... I gotta re-watch it. It's actually at the beginning of Will Ferrell's acting career. Acting peak.

It's the beginning of his peak. It was his spike. Because I want to say Elf was 2004 and Anchorman was 2005. Yeah. No, I think Elf was like the first thing they were like, oh, we love him as this.

And then I'm sure a bunch of roles came after that where they were like, okay, enough. God, it's so good. And his character in it think Elf was like the first thing they were like oh we love him as this and then I'm sure a bunch of roles came after that where they were like okay enough God it's so good and his character Elf is incredible I wish they would

make more movies like that that's one of those movies that I know every single line best Christmas movie Scrooged Scrooged is low key that with Bill Murray yeah

it's very good and it's got some creepy parts yeah I gotta rewatch that. Have you guys seen the Christmas Carol, the Muppets one? I actually haven't seen a Muppets Christmas Carol. You gotta watch that one. I haven't seen most of the Muppets movies. I haven't seen any.

That one's crazy. I've seen the Muppets movie. And I saw the one that came out like 10 years ago that was low-key really good, but kind of forgotten about. But I haven't seen like all the special Muppet movies. came out like 10 years ago that was low-key really good but kind of forgotten about but uh i haven't seen like all the special muppet movies the christmas one like that one i've seen so many times really good it's scary and there's a lot of people in it like a lot of people like the majority of it everyone's willing to work with the muppets yeah they're really easy to work i hear they're i hear they're very super nice yeah except. Except for Kermit. Yeah. He...

When we're talking about height of cocaine, I mean, like, Kermit. Kermit was around during the height of cocaine. He's got problems. Yeah, he used to look like a normal frog. And then drugs happened. He was a fat old bullfrog. Yeah. And that coke hit him hard. Yeah. He went, doink! And became that.

That's why he's always, like, so horny for Miss Piggy. God damn. I feel like Miss he's always so horny for Miss Piggy. Sorry. God damn. I feel like Miss Piggy's more horny for him than he is of her. Oh, sorry. I get a mix. I've never seen a Muppets movie.

Damn. Shoot, dude. You better watch a Muppets movie. Muppets are great. Okay. Well, okay. Sorry. So, yeah.

It's because he's always high on coke, his dick don't work. Fun coke fact. Let's title this podcast Kermit's Dick vs. Cocaine. I like how we're trying to talk about Christmas movies we like, and you keep trying to bring it back to when was the height of cocaine and cocaine facts. Yeah. Cocaine fact number two. Your dick don't work.

Your dick don't work you dick don't work have you heard that Jim Jefferies we're getting way too far I love this I do think this year also I'm going to watch a bunch of the crappy Netflix Christmas movies because Christmas movies are the only thing that are allowed

to be absolutely awful but you can still enjoy it. Did you see the Princess Switch? I have not watched A Christmas Prince, The Princess Switch, The Christmas, or A Christmas, there's several. A Christmas Chronicle, which is that one that finally got me

on freaking Netflix or chill. That was such BS. I'm still salty about that. I remember it. Then there's one that's coming out to theaters with Khaleesi. It's like A Christmas. Emilia Clarke? It's out already. It remember it. Then there's one that's coming out to theaters with Khaleesi. It's like a Christmas... Emilia Clarke? It's out already. It's come and gone.

It came out, a couple people saw it, and it's gone. Was it Let It Snow? It's like a Christmas. It's Last Christmas. Because they used the George Michael song to get you with it. Let It Snow came out two weeks ago. That's right. I've been seeing ads on TikTok for it. There's Let It Snow, there's Last Christmas. Boy, I really with it. Let It Snow came out two weeks ago. Oh, that's right. Yeah, I've been seeing ads on TikTok for it. So there's Let It Snow, there's

Last Christmas. Boy, I really missed it. You know... You can still watch it somewhere. No. It's hard to get me to watch Emilia Clarke outside of Khaleesi. But she's a really talented actress. She's in the Stephen Hawking movie?

She is really... No. You're thinking of the other girl who was in the other Star Wars wait. No, no, no. You're thinking of the other girl who was in the other Star Wars movie. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You're thinking of the girl from Rogue One. No, I'm thinking about Emilia Clarke, but there's a movie where she's in love with a man in a wheelchair. Yep. You know? I've seen clips of the movie.

No, I'm psycho. It's not real. No, it's a real movie. It's another one that kind of came and went. It exists. I don't think, no. Sorry, I'm this dude. It's me real movie. It's another one that kind of came and went. It exists. I don't think, no. Sorry, I'm this dude. It's me before you.

That is funny that she also had that when also, what's her name, from Rogue One was in Theory of Everything. Yeah. Felicity Jones? Yes. She's great. She is really good. I like her. Yeah.

Ian, what do you do? I cried in Theory of Everything. What do you do for Christmas, my guy? I go see my fam. And then we always, after Christmas, go up to the mountains. And we stay up in the mountains through New Year's. Like snowy area? Yeah. Wow, that's so cool.

My parents engage in the whitest sporting activity ever called cross-country skiing. It is the most bullshit activity ever invented. How come? Because, well, let me explain. It's, you know, walking, right? Yeah. So it's like walking, but with skis on your feet. Oh, this is where you're on flat ground.

You're on flat ground. It's like, it's like scootering, but it's skiing, right? No, it's not like scootering, because scootering's fun. But don't you see amazing things in cross-country skiing? What do your parents enjoy about this? Well, because it's like getting out in the outdoors. Yeah, you're going through the forest and stuff.

It's like a snow hike? Yeah, it's like a snow hike. Yeah, yeah. It's like that. I mean, there's definitely things that are nice about it, but when you think skiing, you're thinking going downhill. Sliding, yeah. And having fun. And this is like, it can be an actual workout. And it can also just be, I mean, like, when you've seen 50 trees,

you've seen them all. Yeah. Do you do this with them? I do. I've been doing, I mean, I've been cross-country skiing since I've been a little tot. Oh, I didn't know that. One- that one year old they gave you little skis oh well there's like they're just rulers keep up or the grizzly bears will get you there's there's like old photos of like because we do it with like our family friends and uh they all had kids like around our age and there's one

kid that was younger and so when we were it, and they started their kids like really young, like one of them would tire out and then he would sit in the sled and he would get pulled along by them. So there's these really adorable photos. But I mean, it's like, it's fun, but it's like cross country skiing. A lot of it's like going up hills is a pain in the ass

because you're on skis. So when you try to go up the hill, physics wants to just pull you back down the hill. Then you get like maybe like 15 minutes of fun when you get a little downhill, and you're like, ooo-wee, and I'm done. But it's nice to get out in the woods, breathe some fresh, cold air. Yeah. Dust off a log and have a sandwich.

I talk a lot of shit, but it's nice to get out and see nature and stuff. I think that's important. Oh, hell yeah. I love pine trees, especially around Christmas time. Being out in the forest is so fun. Yeah, you throw a log on the fire, wrap yourself up. Oh, yeah. Have yourself a hot cocoa.

And also just the air is nice out there. Yeah. When it's not fire season. Cold, crisp air is the best. And the stars. Oh, my God, the stars. Yeah, when you're out there, yeah, I can imagine. So I'll be looking forward to that. Yeah.

It's really weird because like with like Christmas, like on my mom's side, like her parents had multiple kids. They had many kids, but my mom was the only one from that family that actually ever had kids of her own. So it's like, it's like kind of this weird thing, like on, on that side of the family, like it's always been like kind of a weird Christmas because it's, it was really only me and my sister were the kids.

And then it was just a bunch of old people or older people. But you know, when you're a child, when you're a child, or older people but you know when you're a child when you're a child everyone's just 25 is old when you're a kid that's why everyone and you know in the comments calls me dad yeah um there he is papa ian santa ian i feel like my my christmas experience is probably a little bit different from from from others since usually people tend to pop out a lot of babies i mean for me christmas is growing up my brothers were a lot are a lot older than me but we still had a few christmases where they were still young enough they were teenagers and so there was still some

stuff that they got but i was like the kid and so i was freaking out on another level but it was still fun because it was still like a family Christmas thing there's one that really sticks out that just like my parents just did an awesome job with like not just like

the presents they got me but the way they laid it out was so cool and I very specifically like they perfectly splayed out three Pokemon Safari packs damn

like like out in the center of it and it just looked so cool and like one Safari pack when I was a kid would have been like, I would have been like, oh my God. Yeah.

What's it like to be getting three packs of Pokemon cards when you're a kid? Blew my mind. I was like, I get to finish opening one and then there's another and then another. Oh my God. And I think that was the year my brothers that, so I got that some awesome gifts like that. And then my brother's got an N64 which meant

I got to play an N64 no that was earlier but we got Diddy Kong Racing that year it must be pretty nice to be in the 1% it was pretty dope getting Pokemon cards

and Diddy Kong Racing I remember an awesome year it wasn't like for me specifically but I well maybe I got some cool stuff too

like there was some crazy years where like we'd come out one year there was a Kawasaki little motorcycle for my little brothers like just in the living room and there's like all those big boxes everywhere a little mini bike yeah oh yeah it was just like a little motorcycle they did my little brothers and my and some of my sisters well they did like bicycle racing but my little brothers did like dirt bike racing. I know. I wish I could have had that too.

Like I think I'm going to do that at some point in my life. You should ask your dad to get you a little motorcycle. Just a little baby Kawasaki. Yeah, make up for it. My own mini bike? Yeah. I think I'm going to get my own motorcycle soon. I'd like you alive.

I'd prefer you alive. You mean like dirt biking. You mean like a dirt bike to ride off road. But it would be a dual sport. So it would be street legal. So that it like, hey, if I wanted to like ride somewhere really quick. Or like, ooh, I want to take it to Park of Arizona. Ride that long ass.

I don't know, it would be too hot. Probably can't do that. But something cool like that. I think just having one. And dirt biking is so fun. I might even like want to try it. No, probably not racing but it's still cool it's still really cool and it's just like it's like horseback riding except for

you're not hurting an animal and you feel like because when you're on a horse or on a motorcycle you feel so like powerful and like just the world's under your feet you're just going yeah just don't drive it on the highway i'm gonna do whatever i want oh god oh it makes me so nervous yeah i wouldn't i imagine uh courtney just doing a wheelie like down the highway 100 miles i go it's just the most dangerous you don't do don't do anything on a motorcycle you wouldn't do like with a bicycle you know like i won't i won't do a boat like a wheelie on a motorcycle if i don't know how to do it on a bicycle you know that makes sense like goddamn gotta learn step baby steps boys baby steps but yeah that was really cool my mom also really goes hard so like i had christmases at different houses each year with the divorced

parents situation which was actually kind of dope. Yeah. Two Christmases. So I've heard. Newsflash is actually sick. My mom, one year she, she like sometimes had like themes where she had like a one year and her, just remember in her apartment, the Christmas tree,

she stuck a bunch of like toy medieval swords through it. And so it like was all decorated like that. We got like a lot of kind of like medieval style, like gifts, but we use those swords all the time and hurt our hands all the time, hitting each other's hands. I'm convinced that both of your parents

were trying to kill you. They're plastic. Oh, okay. What did you think? I said toy swords. You said medieval swords. I said toy swords. Okay.

Because your dad's buying motorcycles, your mom's buying swords. Yeah. Here's a Komodo dragon. Go, kids. Live on the edge. Here's a small bomb. Knock yourself out.

Here's a flashbang. Figure it out. Hey, here's a claymore. No. Have fun. Point it in that direction, not at your face. Point it away. Most of my gifts were dolls or toy like toy makeup or like dollhouses.

My scene dolls. My scene dolls? My scene dolls. Okay, so there was Barbie. Uh-huh. And then there was Bratz. And it was like, oh, shit, this is for the cool preteen girls. And then Barbie was like, oh, we got to compete with that.

So they had like, what's your flavor type of dolls that totally tank. And then they had my scene dolls that were Barbies with like slightly larger eyes, larger lips. Their hair was like chemically different. The way it like laid and was styled and stuff. And they had like movies and like cartoons. And they were my favorite. I liked them more than Barbies. And like I actually, my mom recently gave me an old backpack from my childhood.

And it had like a bunch of old, like little household pieces from the Mycene dolls. Like a tiki bar, little tiny drinks. Yeah, this is like Chelsea. So it was definitely Barbies take on Bratz. This is so obviously them trying to like shut down Bratz. That's so funny. Yeah. Oh, it was all, dude, the toy industry is so like copycats.

Like Hasbro was like taking toys from Mattel and just like remolding them. Or it could be the other company that weighs around. But like toys go after that stuff. It's an insane industry. Yeah. But I was obsessed with my scene dolls. And like the male dolls were way better looking than just their basic

Ken doll you know they had one guy named like Sutton and he had like a little soul patch and a huge dong they would've those were big dick energy Barbies for sure he had a soul patch

one of them did but it wasn't like textured they all just looked like a cast of any season of Real World. Oh my God. I will show you pictures of the whole cast of my scene dolls. Like, cause there was like all these different guys. There was Nollie, Chelsea, Barbie. And then there was like another blonde girl who was like the sporty blonde girl. And I was like, I relate to her.

And then Sutton, there was a Ken and the guys were all in a band together. Oh, that's amazing. This is like Justin from Justin to Kelly. That is literally Justin. That's Bryant, yeah. Yeah, they made him like- Bryant? That character.

With a T? Oh, that sucks. I love how they all have this ball chain necklace with dog tags. This is Sutton, yep. This is all the most early 2000s thing I've ever seen

they were dope though and like the pieces like I think that was the coolest thing about Barbies was like the little pieces you'd get with them

like the tiny cash register the little computer what are you laughing at who does it look like to you just whisper it into the mic alright we'll bleep it out Sutton looks like the kind of guy

that refuses to go down on a girl you don't need to bleep that we'll bleep it out. Sutton looks like the kind of guy that refuses to go down on a girl. You don't need to bleep that. Don't bleep that. We're not bleeping that out. That's in. That is in. Yes, Sutton would be the one to refuse that and be like,

ew, I'm not gay. Bryant though, Bryant definitely. Hang on, I want to see. Bryant is all about it. Go to, like, search My Scene Dolls Bryant because it looks like, I think that character. Did he change? No, it looks like they whitewashed him a lot. Oh, fuck.

I think that they definitely did that with characters. Chelsea. No, because there was, like, Chelsea. The cast was really cool. They were 16 years old. And, like, they had a whole thing where they raised money by walking dogs and selling bracelets and somehow they were able to pay for a trip to jamaica 16 every every single barbie doll disney character all of them are super super rich yeah but have you it's like friends you know dude those are, those Barbies. They're so cool, man. I want a Barbie doll that drives a Honda Civic that she bought used.

Somebody did a drag of Bryant. That's dope. That's awesome. Oh, that's really fun. I never thought about that. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, that's the whole thing where they'll repaint them. That's cool.

Those were my life. I kept them until I was about 13, 14. But I never really played with them. You just like have them. Barbies were super controversial when they came out. Barbies were the first toy that was like anything that wasn't a baby for girls. It was like so controversial to have something with boobs and like what kind of looks like a genin butt, but like not really. They're just a ghost of one.

Just barely enough to get past. Yeah. And when they were making the Ken dolls, I guess there was like multiple drafts of the male crotch and like some were like way too graphic. But yeah, those like shape a lot of girls like growing up with like style and like femininity and everything. Yeah.

So Pokemon Safari, was that your favorite toy? It was just that I was pumped about it that year. Because when they were at all the rage, they were the shit. They sold them everywhere. There was the vending machines for them all over the place. I was all about

it. But it was a big deal. I remember going to game stores and there would be a line out the shop for Pokemon cards. What was the big, what was the big, like, cause it seems like every,

every like Christmas there's like the gotta have it toy. What was the, what was the one this last year? I know like Tsum Tsums, I feel like we're pretty, no, I don't keep up on real pets. We're so huge.

Yeah. I don't keep up on. I remember that first like robot dragon dinosaur toy that was black and white and just didn't even look like a dinosaur? Just like, oh, yeah. The animatronic toys were so cool when I was a kid. They were never that good, though. I remember there was a couple years where animatatronic pet dogs were like all the rage. But then I think I did get one one year, but they were, it didn't do anything.

No, in your head you think that they're just like a real dog, but it's a robot. You want them to be like that. You know what I had at one point? I got it for Christmas and I wish I still had it because I would use it all the time now. Is I got a little RC car that was the Stuart Little car and it had a little Stuart Little in the car. And I think now and I'm like, God, if I had that, the amount of content we would film using little Stuart Little in his little car that I could drive around.

It was a remote control car? It was a remote control car that was, and had Stuart Little in it. It was like a red car? Yeah. The red convertible. I'm sure I could look it up now on Amazon. It's probably like $1,000.

That's iconic. It's, I bet you, I don't see it anymore and it sold for like a year. It's expensive because like they, you know that they,

like that was what the time period where like they would put a lot of effort and like detail, like attention to detail on toys they were like good quality so i don't know man that'd be so cool to have it'd just be so funny like i put my barbie next i can tell you i there's we'd already have shot a video in there i would have shot a video already where it's just it's just me in my car and then he pulls up next to

mine and i'm just like fuck that's a great twitter video yeah there's a lot of there's a lot of tweets making fun of stewart little in his little red car and i'm like god if only i had it remember when he fell in love with a bird in the sequel remember how like they just didn't the mom like gave birth to him right no they adopted him they adopted him they found him they were looking for a kid at the orphanage and like and then they found found a mouse. And they see him reading a book in the corner. And all these other kids at the orphanage are like, oh great, guess I don't get a family. That mouse did though.

Yep. That mouse got adopted and I didn't. Maybe those kids should have been reading. And he sounded like middle-aged. He's like a 20, 20 something. Oh, it's Michael J. Fox, right? Oh God. It's literally an adult.

Hey, how old are you? Eight? Have you seen that video of, like, the bus driver, like, throwing the little person out of the bus? And it just ends up being a man. It's a man dressed as a child. Yeah, I saw it. It was planned. It had to be planned. I think it's a plan.

You think it was planned? Oh, yeah. Like, the camera reveal and everything. I thought it was, like was just some pervert. That's what the story makes sense, but like the camera reveal when they're like, that's not a kid and he just like is there just presenting himself

to the camera. I don't think you can plan that man. I don't know. Either way, what I'm trying to get at is Stuart Little is a pervert. Stuart Little is a pervert. He's posing as a child. A family goes into an orphanage looking for a child. They look over.

They see this mouse smoking a cigarette, and he's like, hey, this is grown man compared to all these kids. That's how I envision it. And how did he get his car? They got him a remote-controlled car, but he could also somehow drive it. It was like—and then the boat. Remember the boat? Yeah. So cool.

Is Paddington a Christmas movie? I don't know, but I hear they're like the best movies ever made. Yeah, I hear they're spectacular. I've never seen them, but people say that Paddington 2 was arguably the best movie that ever came out. Have you seen it, Finn?

I just hear they're... Yeah, they're really good. Really? I've heard they're super good. I can't get into it. Have you started it one of them? No, no. See, we gotta give it a shot.

Like the marketing, I'm just like, what is he? Okay. Well, it's a kid's movie, but apparently like really solid plot though. How does one get a rain jacket that small? I just want him to be added to the Fast and Furious universe. Put him in Smash. Oh yeah, Paddington in Smash. Arguably

Stuart Little in his little red car could be in Fast and the Furious. Just be honest. Oh yeah. They could really use him. He could get into places. You know, go undetected. I would love a Frankenstein ass movie with just everything in it. It'd be pretty cool

they should just do like the fan the fan fiction movie yeah everything happens in it fan fiction movie well I guess

I guess Ready Player One was attempting to be well that was but also there's movies like like uh like you know like scary movie like the comedies

where they like kind of Frankenstein a lot of stuff together referencing stuff I mean Disney can do it since they own practically everything imagine like Transformers Fast and the Furious, Stuart Little.

Well, I've been fighting for a Transformers slash Fast and Furious crossover. That makes perfect sense. But I am actually surprised that Disney has not started to make a Disney Princess universe. Because they've established that a lot of them are in the same universe. I'm like, why don't you make a... If they came up with a movie that they're like, hey, here's our next movie. It's going to be Elsa teams up with Rapunzel.

Yeah, no, I've heard – Everybody would be like, what? I would go see it. There's a lot of references in the Frozen 2. I heard that there's a lot of stuff that kind of ties their universe with the Tangled universe even more. They're going to need to probably pretty soon because they're running out of their live actions to cover

like. Yeah, they don't need it. They don't need to keep doing the live actions anymore. I just think it'd be cool for them to start connecting those universes. They have those, Disney has those phases where they mash up things like, you know, like the Disney shows where it's like That's So Raven, Hannah Montana,

all those shows kind of have an episode where everyone's together. Oh, like Disney. Well, Disney Channel did that a lot. Yeah, so they've done it, and they did Wreck-It Ralph Breaks the Internet. I think with Disney+, they're more likely, I feel like now, to do it than ever.

I would love that, like a Christmas special. Because their whole thing now is connected universes because Marvel's a whole connected universe. Now they're kind of doing it with Star Wars. I think they're going to do it with, it makes sense for them to do it with Disney, or a Pixar connected universe. I mean.

Or we can make one. Wow, a Smosh connected universe? I want to see a Smosh connected universe. You can make economy? I don't know. I want to see you because my I make you cut on me I'm the hoo-hoo how dare you say hoo-hoo

at me in my hoo-hoo beanie smosh.store smosh.store go fuck Shane fuck you Shane smosh.store

How much would your body cost? You wouldn't ask me that no but i will 30 000 guys shane how much do you think you'd be worth just just my nude body just standing awkwardly in the smosh door just you just go through it's like there's the beanie there's the hoodie there's shane's entire just me just standing awkwardly naked oh my god do you think you'd be worth more now or as a virgin what what is that what the fuck again wouldn't ask me that question yeah let's ask shane the piece of meat we can have me on there but you have to be right also like scroll down and there's Ian's naked.

I feel like I'm high right now and I'm definitely not. No. That's something a high person would say. High on. My favorite coffee. High on life. You have sparkling water in there. Guys, I feel actually a little bit high on life because it's the end of the year.

We got a lot to look forward to in 2020. Do you guys have any New Year's resolutions for the next year? Shouldn't we say that for the New Year's podcast? This is the New Year's podcast, Ian. I'm not going to see anybody. Ian, everything's over after this one. Yeah, the end of the world is... Wait, what's the song?

Never mind. R.E.M. Yeah, that's a good question. Any New Year's resolutions? With you guys yet? I ask you first. You guys in the booth. I ask you first.

Do you have any revolutions? Do you have any revolutions? Do you have any revolutions, Ian? I want to make more friends. Me too. Hey, me too. No, not you, Shane. No, Shane. No, Shane.

It's just us. Yeah. Yeah. No, I think that'd be a positive development for my for my mental well-being yeah stop stop making work your only friend damn courtney wow i didn't mean that's what you mean i didn't say i didn't have any caring i didn't say i didn't have any no but it's like your priority friend you know it's the friend that you make sure all your time or any time is dedicated to it. We don't want to be Scrooges. Yeah.

Just focused on work. I want to travel more. Same. I got a trip to Iceland planned out. I also got a trip doing like a Subaru winter driving event. So I'm going to be getting in some cars and doing some stupid things on the ice. What if we kissed at the Subaru driving winter event? Sorry, that's a meme. Anyway,

sorry. It's a good meme. I want to have more things, more things in my life to look forward to. I feel that. Other than just like Smosh stuff, which is great. There's a lot of things with Smosh that I look forward to, but things that aren't

directly related to work. I definitely feel that I look forward to, but, but things that aren't directly related to like work. I definitely feel that I need to build a life outside of my work as well. Cause I do not have one. It's tough. It's tough because we want to dedicate as much as we can to what we do. You know, a lot of people depend on it sometimes. I think there's,

I mean, yeah, I mean you can dedicate a lot of time to on it sometimes i think there's i mean yeah i mean you can dedicate a lot of time to it but then but then also like you you can always make time for something you just you just have to be you just have to be focused on and want it yeah yeah and i think you know setting goals is is is a really big a really big part of that i'm terrible at setting goals yeah i'm terrible at just like getting things done and i think especially with like oh like setting the setting the the sort of mandate of like oh i need to travel more if i don't actually like set a date and buy those tickets it'll you know like that it'll be another year so that's that was this year for me yeah well i mean completely went by but i mean shane you had

like goldbergs you were also finishing school like now you got schools out of the way that's one thing so it will be easier yeah i actually i couldn't plan anything this year like i looking ahead i was like oh there's no there's not a week but also but also there is there is a week like smosh will smosh will continue on if if you know one of us is missing for a week but also but also there is there is a week like smosh will smosh will continue on if if you know one of us is missing for a week like if you think like you know we've all been sick from time to time we haven't been able to come into work from time to time is smosh still around yeah it's unfortunate that it worked out this way but on the week that i'm leaving for iceland that's a shoot week so i will not be in Smosh sketches for about a month or so

because I'm missing I'm missing on the days that we are shooting that whole month of content so I will not be in sketches for a month. So viewers no need to freak out. Yeah I'm just living my best life. He's getting a vacation he deserves. Staring at the

northern lights. Nice. Sitting in some hot mineral baths oh nice um looking at some tundras i don't know what else you do in iceland um eat some skier oh eat some good food that's some skier this morning yeah um i'm gonna go look for cross country skier i'm gonna go look for some yule lads yeah find those yule lads oh oh i just gobbler yeah skier gobbler um i just i just took a dna test turns out i'm 100 skier gobbler so we had just actually recently done uh spelling bikini wax a christmas theme spelling bikini wax and we kept getting these things that were like Icelandic folklore

and everything was like, a Yule lad who does this. So I just got one. I just came across this one on Twitter and I had to show you, Shane, because you were in it. Oh, 41 Strange. I saw this one, yeah. The Yule Cat. It's a monster from Icelandic folklore.

A huge and vicious cat said to lurk about the snowy countryside during Christmas time and eat people who have not received any new clothes to wear before Christmas Eve. I think Iceland has a bunch of really crazy demons and stuff because they're just not afraid of much in Iceland because there's like no crime. It's terrifying. There's also just not a lot of people. There's like 10 people there and they're all like, ah,

better be careful that you will cat. Yeah. I don't want to travel. I really want to travel this year to set a date. Yeah. We're also, we're also going to be, uh,

cause you know, we, we're talking about, you know, hashtag mental health and everything like self care. We're, we're looking, we're looking ahead through this year and we're going to find a couple like

dark weeks that we're not going to put content out and we're going to take that time for ourselves. Um, cause that's important. It is important. So we're going to dole and twin it a couple of times a year. Don't twin it. Is that what they do?

Well, they had that hour long video come out where they're, they announced that they're no longer going to be uploading every week because it's been like destroying their lives. Relatable. Not really, but you know, so they filmed it like as a huge deal because they've been making videos just them too i mean they have their their help and everything but it's like it's all that it's all them too yeah so they're so they announced that they're gonna be like not uploading as often yeah for their for their own sanity i mean i think that's important

that's why we want to do these dark weeks just so like everyone can take a break and and as a result like i think you know you guys at home are going to get better content as a result um because you can't you can't just work forever non-stop until you die like that's not that's not the way to live i'm not saying that like that's not the way don't work but i'm just saying like you know you gotta pepper in you gotta pepper in some you time some decompression time some not work time and uh and try to live that life that we're all because otherwise what are you working for it's's true. Yeah, I hope to get a Hawaii vacation this coming year. I want to try and get a Europe trip as well. So it's going to be interesting figuring out when.

Let me know where you go in Hawaii. I got some wrecks. I love Honolulu so much. I got a lot of food wrecks. Mari just went there and I hit her with my list. My list of food places that i got from my rental car guy and you're on oahu for those uh-huh i just i wonder if i should try a new island you should you should go to kawaii maui is amazing maui's cool maui's got a good mix of like nature and

like population but i want to go for like a week kawaii like a long time kawaii is my favorite i've heard kawaii is the chillest one it is well i think like molokai might be the like the least people but but kawaii is chill as heck and the napali coast is one of the most beautiful things i've ever seen with my eyeballs holy crap it's uh the napali coast on uh on in on k in, on Kauai. Oh my God. When's the best time to go to, go to Hawaii? It's on the equator.

So it's kind of the same all year, right? I mean, people go for Christmas actually. People go to Hawaii for Christmas. Well, that's cause also it's a, it's, it's a less,

um, like not as many people are traveling during, during that time, I think. So I think generally it's a better time to go. Maka Kaliki Maka, am I right? Yeah, huma huma nuka nuka apua ah. That's racist.

No, it's the state fish. Oh, yeah. I look forward to a healthy year. Yeah? Hopefully. Yeah, how are you going to make that happen? Well, because I don't want to fully talk about what I went through this year yet. Not until like that stuff's over.

Yeah, sure. But like, I'm really looking forward to being healthy. I don't know. And like, I'm going to go hard in fitness again. And I've been trying to do yoga for forever. I've been trying to get Kevin to train me because this boy's strong. Kevin and Shane arm wrestled once and they were perfectly

matched. They both hurt their arms. It was crazy. Yeah, you guys went for like three minutes straight. Boy, that was insane because I didn't know what to expect. I just want to throw it out there. A crater. A crater beneath us by the end.

Just... It's like when... What's in the movie when Iron Man and Hulk punch like that? It's like, that happened, bro! Or like anything from Dragon Ball Z. Yeah, it was very Dragon Ball Z. You're both glowing.

Whoa. New Amsterdam. But it was called first because it was first founded by the Dutch. Is that a real fact? No, it was. True. What was New Hampshire's original name? I can't believe it.

Or something like that. Yeah. There was an old name. New York was New Amsterdam. That's right. The Dutch used to own it. Oh, yeah. I used to think it sounded like Hamsterdam.

New York, home of the hamsters. Oh, you think it's called... I'm sorry. We're back. I'm sorry. Do you back. I'm sorry. Do you guys have a last topic? Yes. What you want to do? Yeah, I want to say it's not Houston, it's Hostin, right?

Guys, what was... Not Grinwich, it's Greenwich. What was the highlight from 2019? Yeah, let's get into it. Let's go nice. Let's get away from New York. Let's talk about. What if the highlight took place in New York?

Hey, guess what? My favorite thing. What was your favorite pizza place of 2019? Wow. Way to keep it on brand. That's right. We had a couple things this year that I'm very happy about, very excited about, very accomplished accomplished I came out as not

straight in February March that's pretty crazy this year is jam-packed with events from from being kind of gay to being kind of in a Shane Dawson documentary that's my life. Oh, yeah. Yeah. You were in it. That's a pretty cool highlight. I was. I was smelling Shane Dawson's palette in his doc. That's a crazy highlight. That's up there. That's cool.

Did not expect that. What about you? I mean, we got Smosh back this year, so that's pretty cool. Yeah. That's pretty cool. I mean, yeah. What was the date? What's the anniversary that's pretty. I mean, yeah. What was the, the date that like,

what's the anniversary? It's February 2nd. Really? I think that's when we, wow. Cause my first day was February 4th. Yeah. I think that,

I think we closed on February 2nd. And mine was, was mine like a week or so later or did we start the same day? I think we all had February 4th on paper. Yeah. I remember when we first started because it was an empty office. Like, because it was just like,

oh yeah, we're starting this thing back up and we got back and then slowly we started to get everybody back. It was really cool and it's weird to now see it. I have a lot of videos from those early days. I was just like filming you guys. Yeah, it's weird.

Look at those. Yeah, it's been a hard year. I think it's honestly been like the hardest year for me in terms of like but you took on a lot more responsibilities this year than ever yeah i mean like i think that it turned out as as best as it possibly could i mean i think i think you know getting so many people back and getting it to where it's at now is incredible. I mean, it's awesome, but it took a lot out of me. This has been a real son of a bitch of a year, but I'm glad it happened.

Yeah, I think the first year at any business, any new business is not easy. I mean, it's like the first year, but it's also our 14th year. But you know, it was your first year being the number one being the president of this company and it's like it's not like we're at the hands of a company that just had invisible money you know like this is it's it's been us it's been when you put so much of yourself into what you do and into your work there's no doubt

you're gonna feel fatigue and like it took a lot out of you. Like, hell yeah. If you didn't feel that way, I think something was wrong with you. Yeah. I think it's fatigue, but it's also just like, it's, I don't know. It's just, it took a lot.

And I'm still trying to find my sort of like happiness and stuff, but it's like, this was the first year where, cause I mean everything, like obviously like we put, I feel like maybe I've already talked about this on the podcast, but I feel like, you know, everything,

everything before this just kind of like worked out. Like I'm a pretty go with the flow kind of guy, but everything did just kind of like fall into place as we went along with it. And this was the first time that like, I had to like, really, I realized that like, Oh shit, like this could not go, this could possibly not go the way that I could have ever imagined. And, you know, it made me really question a lot of things and question my place in life and

everything. So it was, it was a So it was a really rough year for me. But I think it's moving in the right direction, for sure. That's good. For sure. Just like both personally and professionally. I feel a similar version of that where it's like I, like burnout was like the key word for me this year of like we go, go, go. Because like the internet word for me this year of like, we go, go, go. Cause like the internet, it never stops.

Everything is always happening. And I, it makes me terrified. Cause we like, we want to keep up to date with, with the comedy and what's, what's cool. And, and we work every day.

There's no breaks. There's no season breaks or hiatuses like TV shows. And so like, sometimes you just forget to think about yourself or, or put the time in that that you may require um so then all of a sudden you're in like a really bad place emotionally like that's how i was where it's like and you don't know why because you've been working so hard and everything around you is going good yeah but all of a sudden you're like what's wrong with

me it's like oh because everything's been happening so fast. I haven't like stopped and like taken a deep breath and been present and just enjoying what's around us. Because it's hard. You want to, because we want to, I mean, I myself am always trying to be better and trying to like somehow be my best version of myself. And so I'm always focusing on the negative of what can improve in me or what i can fix around me and it's exhausting yeah i don't know it's uh i feel like also i'm just it's just because i'm just juggling different roles like you know i'm yeah like technically yeah i'm the boss but then also i have to be your guy's co-worker but i'm also your friend so it's like it's a lot of it's

a lot of different, different roles to balance. And I don't, don't ever want to feel like I'm betraying anyone, but you know, I have, I have a job that, that I now have to do. So it's like, it's, it's put a, it's put a lot of pressure on, on sort of the decisions that I have to make or will have to make. And it's, yeah, it it's yeah it's been it's been really strange but yeah because you're no longer just like a creative you're you're like

you're a lot more involved in like the business i don't like even more so than ever yeah and it's like i i don't i never i never really saw myself as being in this position but i also in this situation don't see anyone being a better fit for it so it's like that's that's my justification for like well i need to i need to be here like this is your calling yeah yeah i mean i don't know calling like it's just like it's like this this is the situation we've been put in and and i'm gonna make i'm gonna try to make the most of it and try to be a you know positive influence and try to you know do the best that i can and that's honestly all i can really you know hope for yeah you gotta make sure you're excited about what you're doing because i mean

technically you're ian you're kind of like the jeffree star of smosh you're a boss ass bitch you run a company you put out tons of content and product all the time you you're fucking leading this no no let me finish honey i'm gassing you up okay queen okay you have an office you sit in and a bunch of people that respect you and you are learning. We're all learning still. One year is not enough time. And look at this. I know. My favorite coffee is pretty sweet.

You got to go. Look at that. Look what's on you. Look what's going to happen in February. I'm your son. You made me. I think that's what I need to do is stopping and looking around at what we did. Yeah, I think that's what I need to do is stopping and looking around at like

what we did yeah I think I think that's important I think it's I think it's important you know for for anybody to to kind of take a second and like like we're doing now and sort of like recognize like the the good things that are around us and the things that were

that we're proud of like and try to find a purpose for yourself. Not like your purpose as a human being, but what's your purpose in what you're doing right now? And who are you doing it for and why are you doing it? Yeah. I think that's really important. That's what I've been trying to go after.

Like I said, this job is very go, go, go. So you've got to put the effort in to stop and look around. So I guess you're right. I am like the Jeffree Star, except I haven't said the N-word on a video. No. No. Close. I'll stop.

But not that. Good job. Hey, kudos congratulations Ian you didn't say the N word you know if I had to think of what Ian's greatest achievement is it's probably never saying the N word

it's probably that he's never said that we'll make you a plaque has never said the N word yeah we're gonna throw a surprise ceremony somebody's gonna

like deep fake me now saying oh my god somewhere oh boy then you would yeah deep fakes are not fun

shit so okay so I said what you said what do you wanna what you wanna well we were looking back on the highlights of this year

oh looking back at the highlights and then you said this was kind of a lot of there there was a lot of lowlights. Honestly, like I think the highlight for me, the Shane graduation thing was just so cool. When is that out? When was that out? I think it's out already.

It's out now. Okay. Well, dang, that was the thing I was going to say was my highlight. I know, I know. Sorry. Well, you talk about it. Yeah, you. Well, obviously it was a very different perspective for me because it was a complete surprise.

I sincerely did not see it coming at all. And I've the other times I've been pranked on the channel. I had an inkling like I had a small inkling that I'm like, oh, something feels off. Whereas that day was a completely normal day. I was not expecting anything. I didn't think we were shooting a video. I didn't think anything was going on. So I walked into what I thought was going to be a meeting and then had that all thrown at me and it was so cool and i was so immediately just so uh happy by it like it just cheered me up so much and uh the whole thing was so cool and it really did give me a moment to like because it wasn't a shoot that i was like planning for or i wasn't in

my head about it it was just happening and i was able to suddenly look and be like holy crap look at this place that we're at and the stuff that we do and these people I work with. And it was really great. And, yeah, it was cool to have that moment. And, you know, I want to, yeah, finding those moments more will be great. And, you know, I think I wished I could have had that night last so much longer because, you know, we kind of had to go home and then get ready because then we filmed the next day. And that's the way things kind of can go sometimes is we move so fast. We hung out for a little bit.

Yeah. Had a couple drinks. Yeah. It was incredible. It's just our lives are so crazy sometimes that I don't get to, I just, we move on so quickly. We don't recognize we're in a good old day. Yeah. So I think that's a good way of putting it.

Like to, you know, because like, yeah, it's really easy to look back on things, but to recognize those things like while you're still doing, while you're still in the middle of it. And I felt that way with, with the graduation. Cause it's like, it was really exciting to do it, but then to see it actually in action, I was like, wow, this is actually, this is actually really cool.

But I just, I really enjoyed it. I feel like, you know, you totally deserve something like that. And it was, it was cool to like, you know,

to show props and appreciation to the people that we really enjoy being around yeah yeah it felt like a family moment like it really felt like and and our try not to laugh with the crew also had a similar feeling to me where i was like this just feels like we're doing this we're doing this for the fans but we're also doing this for us and you know yeah it was it was really cool to see everything come to life. Everyone just did a really good job on that. And like, even the diploma, I think we probably posted pictures of it.

It's so good. Every element of it. And it was such a cool collaborative effort that as it was happening, I could tell who planned what parts. And that was fun. But yeah, love you guys. Love you.
