No, I remembered one of my favorite Christmas traditions, Jewish. We obviously did the Chinese food movie. What? Bringing the stand in. No, I know. I'm so envious of the traditional Jewish Christmas. So I did some, my family did Jewish outreach for much of my life because the big focal point was Christmas Eve. But Christmas day, we started going to a movie and a habachi restaurant every Christmas day.

Wow. Habachi. But finish your tradition. I'd love to get back in. So there's neighborhoods around us that like went hardcore. So we'd get in our car and we would drive around and look at all the Christmas lights. Yeah, but we were like in Lincolnwood, I feel, is where all the lights were in these giant houses. And the whole, the whole little cul-de-sac was committed.

Some home-alone vibes. More like animatron, multiple floor things in a window. Like it's pretend going through the roof. Like really creative. That's awesome. we would like drive around and look at the lights and I do I did I just remembered that and I really enjoyed it

How old were you when you came in America? I was I was really young three Oh three okay so you don't have like pre You have Christmas memories as a baby All your memories kind of happen Three I feel like is the cutoff for where my first memory though Is before I was three I will be honest It's the only memory I have young but I fell into a fountain

With a bunch of like fish when I was like two something And I remember being in the fountain I do That's awesome I remember being in there I think it was traumatic enough. Like, I think it was just like, I don't know. Or people said it enough that it's in my brain, but I really feel like I remember it.

That's fucking cool. A fountain with fish. A baby memory is fucking sick. Yeah. I have, I have like, I think I was four, my four, three and a half. I remember looking at my little brothers on a chair. I remember a specific, like, chair and the light is hitting their heads in a specific way. I have that memory in my head still.

But we do New Year's gifts in my family We have a New Year's tree That's like the Russian Soviet vibe of us I think Yeah that is Papa Frost Greek people do that too Yeah so we just got so Americanized That we were just like Well it's awesome because we get all the ornaments

And all the fun on sale And we get all our gifts on sale And then we kind of have a great time on New Year's And then my sister would go out with her friends all night afterwards On New Year's? Yeah like we celebrate the old year We do like an 11 o'clock dinner of the old year and then at midnight you know we party a little bit and then I was a kid so I'm always like

gifts yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah our parents tried that but we just when you're a little kid and everyone it's like I don't know everyone was talking about their Christmas gifts there's a year where my parents tried New Year's but we also have Hanukkah right you it's as like for Jewish I love Christmas for a Jewish family makes sense because it's like you don't care it's not really your gift giving holiday anyway but like it's not your identity anyway but like it's not your identity way and for us it was like Christmas is the biggest deal and then why don't you do it we did do it our parents tried to do it on New Year's because Greek people do it on New Year's but we were like all our friends at school were talking about their Christmas gifts and we're like what the fuck

I want my gifts and literally lasted like one year and we were like we're not doing this bullshit give us our shit on fucking Christmas but we didn't really have any honestly we didn't really have traditions like my favorite Christmases were like the years we got a gaming system And it was like playing PlayStation 1998 N64 N64 was a big N64 was huge

Massive And then there was a Christmas Maybe the biggest Christmas ever Well remember the Christmas The console wars on Christmas There was one Christmas that GameCube and Xbox came out The same Christmas

Right but wasn't Dreamcast also in the mix I got a Dreamcast But one was the obvious winner Was yes But I was a GameCube guy Like my family was Nintendo And so we held out I only got an NES

I had a Nintendo entertainment system. Respect. You're playing duck hunt. Thank you for saying the NES. No one has ever, like said, the whole title. I had the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. I have the Extreme Box. I have the Extreme Box 360.

Then we switched to, we eventually ended up going to all of them, but we were GameCue. We held the Nintendo line until, until it was so clear Xbox. and PlayStation. Do the energy just I can't handle, like, my brain can't handle that much technology. Like, even now, my go-to, I play Tetris on my laptop. Hell, yeah. Like, I need simple. That's a good one. And then I just did beat

Super Mario 3 on the Switch, and that was like a childhood dream come true. Yeah, that's fun. It felt really cool. Yeah, that is fucking old. But the hype, the energy of just like the pure capitalism in your veins when a new video game system was coming out and it was Christmas time. My friends that had Nintendo 64. I mean, I was over there.

I was over there. Oh, fuck. that the Nintendo 64 Christmas was awesome. And GameCube Christmas was great, too. I think I was a freshman in high school or some shit. And literally, I don't think I've ever felt closer to my brothers. Like, we just fucking were playing Madden. We were playing the FIFA together. We were doing co-op Star Fox games.

Yeah, that was fucking. Come play backyard baseball with me, George. We literally were browing out. That's like one of my most, that's one of my most beautiful Christmas memories. Me and my, me and my little brother's room. They had the slightly, They had a bigger room because there was two of them sharing it. And that's where the TV, like we had a TV there.

We just went when our parents for Christmas would be like, all right, you can take the thing into your room instead of playing on the main TV. And we stayed up like till fucking 3 a.m. We woke up at like eight had like pie and like roast, you know, leftovers for breakfast and chocolates and shit immediately got to playing. Truly, I think that might have been the happiest I've ever been in my life. life maybe. I'm happy hearing this. I'm like, wow, this sounds beautiful. It was fucking awesome. And yeah, but we didn't really have a specific, I think that's why I took over the

cooking because we didn't, this is what happens when you're like addicted to food. You're like, this isn't up to my liking. I'm not able to rel- I'm not, it's like, imagine if you went home and you had to like do your parents cocaine, you're like, you don't know good drugs. That's kind of I felt about the cooking, which is like, you know. Let me handle this shit. So I've been making that rib roast in the sides for a while now. You know what's cute? So my close friends, they have two daughters.

And they got the Nintendo Switch with, and we got to play Mario Carl together. Oh, hell, yeah. So now, like, we get to play with these kids. And that's fun. So they're experiencing the new games. I can't wait to game with my nephew. That rocks. We did that with my girlfriend's nephews, and one of them's, like, six.

And I just kicked the shit out of this kid, Mario Card. It was awesome. What a beautiful experience. That's a sacred relationship is the guy dating your aunt. Yeah. Because you're not really close. You're kind of just like the coolest young guy he has access to. Like that was the thing.

It's like when we were growing up, it was like my mom's, we didn't have any blood relatives here. But, you know, the immigrant thing where it's like your mom's best friends are your aunts. Yeah, yeah. And so it was like her daughter, the, we would go over the one place for Chris sometimes. And her daughter, the guy she started dating when she was in high school, was like, we didn't have access to like bros. And so he was like, he was like 16. And when you're like eight, a 16 year old in a leather jacket, you're like, oh, you're the fucking coolest guy of all

time. Can we fucking play, yeah, can we play video games? Can we play catch? Oh my God. He went to Wilson's house of leather and got that jacket in the mall. Dude, he wears gel in his hair. I can't wait to be like him. I bet he has a zip of lighter. Let's ask him. But you're, you might be doing that for that kid. I would be honored. I seek to fill that. Yeah, we went to the lake. I was like trying to get the kid on the water ski thing. Yeah, get him on the... Yeah, tossed him in the ocean. I was throwing him in the

pool. Yeah. Yeah. That's key. That's big. That's big. I just the thing with the Nintendo 64, the thumb swirl never got. I can't. I just can't do it. It is a it is a badly designed controller. Oh, wait, did you ever play Doom? Yes. Hell yes.

That was fun. Doom ripped. Doom was fucking awesome. Hell yeah. Fuck. What was some of his, what were some of Doom's or no, fuck. Yeah, what was the guy? What were the guy's sayings? No, I'm thinking of Duke Nukem. Duke Nukem, that's what I meant. I play

I'm here to kick ass and chew bubble gum. Yeah, yeah. I'm all out of gum. Duke Nukeme was awesome. I've got balls of steel. That's right. Balls, balls, balls of steel. And then when you got the Duke Nukem soundboard. That was good stuff. But yes, Doom and Duke Nucum were very, very related.

Oh, you know what? Is it weird that I keep bringing it to Christmas? No, it's Christmas. That's the whole point. You're doing a better job hosting than I am. I'm like, fuck, dude. I think we could put sliced cheese and mac and cheese. I would still be talking about that.

If you guys hadn't moved us forward, I'd be like, come on, guys. Don't you think as part of it, it could be good? Anyway. I just love a theme, but my mom became close. with this Guatemalan family through work and so we got to go to their house for Christmas and I got a Christmas fucking Barbie doll and I was like this is the best

one of those like free footers that you know it wasn't life size but she had this gorgeous red and gold dress oh it was Christmas it was like the Christmas Barbie of the year I mean it was just like because even though we did gift my parents were kind of like we were kind of like we I loved all my gifts but they weren't high ticket items so this to me I was like

it was survival gifts what the fuck is this Barbie I remember my parents I got a Tweety-shaped pillow. Yeah. And that, like, that really rings into my... It pissed me off when I found out Tweety was a boy. Honestly, I think she's like gender, fucked. Like, I think she does whatever she wants.

She's like Rupal. Like, Tweedy, you know. RuPaul's like, you can call me he, you can call me he, you can call me he, you can call me Regist or Kathy Lee. Yeah, it doesn't fucking matter. It pissed me. I was a little boy and I think, I was just thinking about this. I think it's because I wanted to fuck Tweedy.

And I was like, what the hell? They made me gay. Come on, Tweety's cute. But to want to fuck it. When you're a little kid, Tweety's got eyelashes. You have a crush. Sweetie's a cutie. I don't mean, I want to fuck the bird, like, physically.

I mean, when you're like five, you're like, I have a crush on every girl cartoon. And then when they're like, actually, Tweety's a boy, I'm like, what? I'm not fucking gay, dude. Yeah. Okay, okay. I think so. I don't know, but I think that's why it made me mad. I know cats that were made to look like skunks

that peppy Lepewis was harassing were pretty sex. She was hot. The cats. I actually have been doing a bit lately because I have a joke about it. So then I've been asking audiences because it's fun. What cartoon character they'd like to fuck. And it all stemmed because I played the Mark of the Martian. Oh, nice penis, J.P. The mic drop clubs are like, Oh, no, stop fucking my ass. I'm going too blessed.

You can't my parents. I really don't have a connection with him. That's why I said him Because no one has a connection That's okay Got it got it got it Got it got it Be sexual

Oh let me see her dude His voice He suddenly came back to me Sorry that one over my head What are the popular answers that you get When you ask this question What started this was The Mike Drop Club

In whatever state I was in I can't fucking remember But it's Robin Hood themed And that Fox is like very sexy I've heard that a lot from a lot of girls Showing a lot of legs They wanted to fuck Robin Hood Oh the fox and Robin Hood

He is really hot I like all the kids but it's beautiful animation. I love Robin Hood. That's what started at all. But people like Jessica Rabbit's a constant. I mean. I mean, as a child, I was designed to be a hotly.

Sure. But, dude, as a little kid. Oh, yeah. That legit might be the, that might be the first time I was overtly horny. Like, I was overtly, like, I want to, like, see her tits and touch them. I don't know if I was horny for Jasmine,

but I was just, oh, true. I fell deeply in love. I love Jasmine's gorgeous. I love Jasmine, you're right. Yeah, absolutely. Jasmine's gorgeous. But so my best friend, Julia, like, I started going home to her family and they fucking do Christmas. American Christmas.

And I just, like, love the pajamas. I love the snacking. I love the movies. And I love gifts, giving, get it. Like, I, like, love it. I love all the little, I just enjoy the lounging. It's a very lounge forward holiday. And the gifts.

Not for me. What would you put over Christmas? Well, I'm just humiliated. I don't want to be this person. But I also love the Fourth of July, not for America. I had a dalliance with the Fourth of July is my face. I'm fucking barbecue versus Christmas. But you get to be at a pool.

No, I love Christmas. You're right. You're right. Pools, beaches, things of that nature. I get it. Yeah, summer time. Because it's basically the ultimate summer hang. And the most people hopefully have off.

True. Or it's like something, because I like performing on Christmas. But now that I do Christmas with Julian, we have like a friend group that's been doing it for the past five, six years, I think. That's in New York. So I just perform Christmas Eve. But performing on holidays all night at the cellar,

I really do love. And everyone's getting kind of drunk. It's a lot of Jews or weirdos. Yeah. Or like people, it's like... I'd like to do that one day. It's so I enjoy going, doing spots on the holidays. That is fun.

I mean, I found... And when I waitress, like, since I was Jewish, I would, like, take the shifts. Yeah. So, or so any type of job, I would take everyone's Christmas. I do like doing a weird thing on a holiday. I like, like, traveling on the actual holiday is fun. One time I literally on a win... I wasn't going to go home.

The pilot wearing a Santa hat. You love it. Sick. That's awesome. Yeah. They're going to treat. you better. The stewardesses are like pump, they're like, you know, they'll

We would always be jumping into the French toast because we were recovering because like Christmas Eve was the night that it really went off. Oh, really?
