Starting point is 00:01:06 Ooh, I know that's right. Hello, the internet, and welcome to this episode of Funky Cold Trendina by Drone Locke. That one courtesy of the gross face killer. Drone Locke. Drone Locke is a good... Somebody needs to do something with that. A recording artist, you know? out in a New Jersey rapper. The next Lauren Hill.
Starting point is 00:01:30 Wow. Call it was drone. Loke. Mm hmm. My name's Jack O'Brien. Head over there is Miles Gray. And well, this is the trending episode. It is the last episode of the year before we get into some pre-recorded holiday hijinks and the top 10 episodes of the year, which we'll be replaying. As we enjoy our eggnog, you know, our chestnuts. Roasting on...
Starting point is 00:01:57 Do you ever eat a chestnut? Roasting on an open fire? Yeah, just generally. Yeah, I've had a little bit of it. It's not what I expected. Not what I expected. I would know. They like it's kind of like meaty. Yeah, yeah. And yeah, I'm I remember always like I liked the smell as a kid
Starting point is 00:02:13 because it was on the street in Japan and shit. And I was my mom as my mom to get it. Then you eat it. And you're like, what do you think the biggest disconnect between smell and taste is? Because like Jesus, I don't smoking cigarettes. That was a big one for me because I grew up, you know, my grandma smoked like a chimney. I loved the smell of cigarettes. Smell like love. Smell like love.
Starting point is 00:02:32 And then I like a grandmother's love. And then I ripped one and I was like, yo, oh, yeah. It tastes like dirt, man. Yeah. Oh, you know what it was? Well, I don't know if it's. Yeah, no, it's not. And that was a Marlboro light. I mean, I eventually would come to love that taste. But, oh, I was. Yeah, I was expecting it to just be the smell of cigarettes.
Starting point is 00:02:52 Was the first cigarette you ever smoked a butt that your grandma left behind? No. My my cool older sister brought me down to the parking lot next to a public pool near our house in Kentucky. We just sat there and ripped it, ripped it. Are you sick? Yeah. Hell yeah, dude. Love that. I'm smoking my grandma's leftover butts. Yeah. I eventually got into that to that nasty business.
Starting point is 00:03:18 Yeah. Yeah. I'd say coffee is also out there. Coffee smells like it's going to taste really good. And then it tastes like dirt a Love usually I'll say beer foam because I remember I would see it and then I don't know What's the statute of limitations here? My dad would let me sip the foam if there was like there was like a big foam top on because I I don't want to do that. We did it like the fuck tastes like like bubbles, like the soap that you blow bubbles with or
Starting point is 00:03:48 some shit. Yeah, completely wrong. Anyway, your phone never tastes good. Like even when I got real into drinking when I became a big hobbyist when it came to drinking, never liked beer foam. It's I don't know. I don't know. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:04 Give me a nice foamy head on that. Give a nice. Let me get a pint of foam. It's I don't I don't know. Turns out. Yeah. Give me a nice foamy head on that. Give a nice. Let me get a pint of foam. Yeah. Guinness foam. Brian, the editor is pointing out not bad, but it's not as good as Guinness. For sure. Sure.
Starting point is 00:04:16 Yeah. OK. Fair point. Fair point. Oh, oh, oh, it's magic. We've been doing that off mic for a while. We had to do it for you one time So, um, we got one foot out the door people I'm Jack that's miles we say that is the trending episode couldn't tell show podcasts of some sort
Starting point is 00:04:49 We talk about America shared consciousness Lot to get there. We should get we should well, we'll leave you with a one you can chew on. Yeah We'll leave you with a heavy one. Yeah nice heavy meal. That's heavy. Yeah, go to sleep. Take a nice. All right up first This is actually wild because this was a prediction that I made on our predictions episode that will be coming out at the beginning of 2025. Yeah, dude. Jesus. Those crazy. Yeah. Well, what was the prediction again?
Starting point is 00:05:18 So I predicted that a Superman movie would come out in 2025. And they just dropped a trailer. No. For a Superman movie. No. Coming out, Miles. No, no, no. 25. Fuck you. I know. Why do you keep charging me for lottery numbers that fucking never win? You motherfucker. You could have told me about this bet.
Starting point is 00:05:38 The signal wasn't clear that day. I am a Superman bitch. I was like two or three when I first saw the Christopher Reeves Superman like the first one and then the Superman one and two the with Zod it was two I think right. Mm-hmm. But yeah, those were big like huge favorites hugely influential I used to run around with a cape on in all settings, like made out of whatever was around. Towel, newspaper, didn't matter. That, I was, and when I was doing that,
Starting point is 00:06:12 I was pretending to be Superman. It wasn't Batman. Though I was, at that time, watching the Adam West Batman, but Superman was my shit. What's, what the fuck is, what was Zod's crew called? What were they called those motherfuckers that pulled up with Zod? I don't know they have like a gang name cuz he was like a general right or something general Zod and the funky bunch I'm not sure the funky bunch out cuz I whenever I think of them
Starting point is 00:06:37 I always think of like JD Vance cuz they were heavy with the eyeliner too. Yeah heavy heavy eyeliner, kind of close cropped beards. Yeah. Yeah. Really alien charisma, completely distant, like they've been living in the Phantom Zone for an impossible amount of time. Yeah. So the trailer, I saw it. The trailer is I did not see the dog coming. I thought I didn't.
Starting point is 00:07:05 But if I were James Gunn, it did feel James Gunn. He like it starts out Superman's like battered. He's in the one of the polls, whichever poll has the fortress of solitude. And he's like spitting out chicklets, spitting out blood. And then he whistles and his little fun dog comes in, like, drags him. And and I was like, we got a hit on our hands. Yeah, I was like, I think we got to hit. And I'm like, everybody, this is you can already I can already see all the comic relief
Starting point is 00:07:35 this little dog will provide in a James Gunnian way. It's very Gunnian, very Gunnian. I would say a very Gunnian choice to have a cheery little character that kind of helps offset the tension. But I think this was a good time. Young is the new outback appetizer that they're offering. It's just a gun shaped blooming onion. It's a deep fried gun.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Yeah, it's actually do not bite it. It's a lot of they've had a lot of accidental discharges. But the thing with Superman, I think, cause when I saw that and I saw the trailer and then it said July, I was like, do y'all got something to barb and Heimer this with? Cause I'm like, you might, you have a half a barb here. You're gonna want a barb and Heimer this.
Starting point is 00:08:17 You're gonna want a barb and Heimer this. I think you're gonna want a Superman barb and Heimer. Barb and man, booper man. You're gonna want to Superman, Barbin, Barbin man, Booper man. You're gonna want to do something with this because yeah, I feel like this is gonna be a hit. You need something extra with Superman. Not for me. I'm the person who's like, I actually liked Superman Returns, the Brandon Ralph, damn, Kevin Spacey and Brian Sager. That was a fucking murderers row of sex crimes, it turns out. But I actually enjoyed those movies.
Starting point is 00:08:52 They felt like they were an homage. I mean, it wasn't an homage. It was like a straight up, they made it a sequel to the first two Superman movies, which were the, I think the last two that anybody really fully got right. And then they gave it over to Zack Snyder, who they heard you want to you want to do a little just forecasting. This is what comes out in July of twenty twenty five,
Starting point is 00:09:15 the same month as Superman. So Superman is July 11th, July 4th of July. There's a Matt Stone, Matt Stone, Trey Parker, Kendrick movie, July 2nd, Jurassic World Rebirth, July 18th. I know what you did last summer, the Smurfs and then July. I know what you did last summer, the Smurfs. It's a mashup, mashup, an unlikely mashup, because the Trey Parker, Matt Stone thing is a Kendrick movie.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Like they're doing it with Hendrick Lamar like It is okay. Yes, because they directed I think or were like behind the Heart part whatever where he kept morphing. Yeah Wow. So who knows a Kendrick super mad that could be fucking weird All right. We'll see. We'll see super Mandrake. Will you be my Kendrick Knight? I don't know. It's yeah. No, that's something we'll be workshopping that. We'll chop that off, Mike. Crypto the dog, man.
Starting point is 00:10:14 I feel like we're going to be here. And this thing could be the last we heard is crypto dog, man. You won't believe how much money the crypto lobby spent to get this character to be called that. Right. This is all part of a fucking full court press to normalize crypto. Y'all don't fucking fall for it. I'm sorry. I know he's beautiful little dog, but don't fall for it. Speaking of which,
Starting point is 00:10:34 Hawk 2 has apparently gone full Kaiser Sose on all our asses. Shout out to Kevin Spacey, second Kevin Spacey. I don't forget. And by the way, as is our custom, as is our custom for the final episode of the year, we always go full Kevin Spacey. And by the way, as it is our custom, as it's our custom for the final episode of the year, we always go full Kevin spacey. Every story will have a Kevin spacey reference somehow. Yeah. God for two weeks, dude. So as we've covered before, you know, uh, charming,
Starting point is 00:11:01 uh, said you got to Hawk two on that thing in that one video. And then underrated Lee when Bill Maher was like, do you like Jay Z even know who Jay Z is? She was like, oh yeah. I like that one song, concrete jungle wet dream tomato. And we were like, all right, I'm here. I'm here for it. Give her a three picture deal. A star is born. So she then launched a podcast, talk to her and it was originally a hit.
Starting point is 00:11:34 And then I think I'm more interest. Yeah. People lost a lot of interest and then people. And then she did a, she launched a crypto. She just like went through all the stages of neo internet fame and the over the course of a month and a half and then rug pulled that crypto which you know was where you like sell all your shares right before the thin craters because you've sold all your shares I think is the idea exactly so then you leave everybody else massive
Starting point is 00:12:04 vote of no confidence from the only person. It's just launched. It's going to be great. Well, look at the line go up. Fucking sell now. Sell, sell, sell. And so a lot of people left holding the bag since she did that. She I mean, I think her company released a statement being like they they haven't sold anything. We don't know what you're talking about.
Starting point is 00:12:24 She has not appeared anywhere. No new episodes of talk to her. And like that, she's gone. Mr. Kobayashi, she just starts speaking with like a British accent. Yeah, actually, like South African would be like the Jack. It's you know, you're not going to believe what it says underneath my coffee. Talk to us on that. It on that thing.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Yeah. Wow. Oh my God. Yeah. So anyways, it's a be interesting to see how this story moves forward. But like, I think the like the thing, if they're lying and she really did like sell all her shares, I think that's illegal. Like, I don't think you're able to do that.
Starting point is 00:13:07 Maybe you're not a lot of regular. I just. Oh, right. Right. Right. You can see, I mean, you know, there's also been stuff where like Kim Kardashian got in trouble for doing a really weird like a. Just like endorsing someone else's that she like, I don't know. But it was it was sort of it was deceptive because she was like, it's Ethereum Max. And people were like, are they buying Ethereum or are they buying some weird, bizarre shit coin
Starting point is 00:13:30 that shares the same name? We'll see. Deceptive Kooian. We'll see. Kind of a usual suspect detective. Agent Kooian, nevermind. Wow. The Mertes, God damner Kaiser Susie.
Starting point is 00:13:53 That part I used to laugh so much as like the Turkish dude. That was my favorite for whatever. I'm like, this is the best part. Yeah. Or when maybe when Billy Baldwin does give me the fucking kiss cuck sucker motherfucker. Yeah, yeah. That part too was also flippy. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:14:10 That is also burnt on my brain. Yeah. And then, but that's one. So like I go back and I watched Superman one, the Christopher Reeves one with my kids. And it was I imprinted on me so early. I imprinted on it so early that I'm still like, this is one of the best movies I've ever seen, but I go back and I watch usual suspects and I'm like, this doesn't hold up at all.
Starting point is 00:14:36 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This shit is not very good. It's again, it's that it's a very fine window where everything that you hit in there will be like, bro, this, this is forever art is forever art yes exactly that and Teen Wolf are two movies I can't believe how much I still love this fucking movie you're like knee slapping you're like yeah you're looking right in your living room just to get the tea he can see this he can
Starting point is 00:14:58 fucking hoop you guys get in here get in Yeah, he just turned into the wolf. He's playing basketball. Oh my God. How, how does he do it with all that shit on?

And we're back. And I mean, if they wanted to do a photo op to make this motherfucker look cool as hell, they did it. Luigi Mangione pictured entering New York City with just like a fucking entire army. Looking like fucking Bane or some shit. Yeah, entire SWAT team surrounding him with automatic weapons all shackled up.
Starting point is 00:16:56 It's wild. The thing is like everyone's like, oh, they're perp walking him. Usually like for super high profile stuff, it's like you might catch a glimpse or something, but they try not to do that I guess it's seen as you know being a bit prejudicial to be like look at this fucking guy with all the goons We need around him but a security analyst unlike CNN was saying is like I don't think they're doing this because like they think someone's gonna like try and Make a new cool band photo Jack Ruby reference
Starting point is 00:17:23 But more an indication that the police might think someone may try to free him or interfere with him being taken into custody. Yeah. Which is like, oh, interesting. I'd be wild if like Jeff Bezos ran up and shot him. Like who would assassinate the CEO assassin? Neck bone sucker. It's like, wait, why did you say neck bone? Is that your it's a gangster name I'm trying out.
Starting point is 00:17:46 Working on. Yeah. Yeah. But he got in incident free. He's being, Luigi Mangione is being charged with first and second degree murder, a bunch of weapons charges, stalking. So some of the reports indicated that he's been sort of on the tail allegedly of Brian Thompson since maybe August. And they also added a
Starting point is 00:18:07 terrorism, I guess, modifier bonus to that first degree murder charge. Bonus! And yeah, that means, you know, they're basically saying that this was a crime intended to intimidate or terrorize a civilian population or part of the government, et cetera, et cetera. So it's like an anti-terror law that came out of 9-11. So yeah, his lawyers are like, they are really piling it on here thick. But yeah, we will see. The things will begin, I'm sure, and very quickly. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Alvin Bragg is like, there's no place for this kind of thing. And Eric Adams was like, New York city.
Starting point is 00:18:47 What a place. And what are your thoughts on the assassination? You could do anything. You could charge a young vigilante, a hit man with the same anti terror laws we use to prosecute al Qaeda only in New York. Let's see what else we got for the people we got the Hornets, the Charlotte Hornets of NBA fame. Go did like a little fun giveaway thing where they,
Starting point is 00:19:16 Hey, why you, why you, why are you carrying their water right now, man? It was really fun. And I don't see what this kid's fucking problem is. So during a half time, like, you know, on court game, I don't know exactly what the kid did to deserve this, but he was given by the Hornets mascot a PS5. Sick. You can see from the picture it is like cartoon like, Oh boy, Mr. Wow, really? You know, he's like, his mouth is open. He's like, what? Oh boy. Wow. It really is that you have to say Mr.
Starting point is 00:19:56 Do you do have to say Mr. Yeah, yeah, he's saying Mr. For sure. And then, uh, and then they cut, you know, the Jumbotron didn't stay on him for that long. And it turns out that was by design because then they took that shit right back and were like, here's a free jersey kid get lost. And so people caught wind of this. I don't know how the Hornets thought they were going to get away with this. Yeah. The kid, I guess, or his dad, like kind of complained and was like, Hey, you, I don't know if anybody was at the game and saw me get a PS five. Uh, they took it back once the camera was off.
Starting point is 00:20:33 And so they had to issue this statement during last night's game. There was an on court skit that missed the mark included bad decision making and poor communication. Simply put, we turned the ball over and we apologize. How do we put this in terms that a basketball fan will understand? We turn the ball over. Like that's not even a good, like that sucks. The most like it, it sounds like you tried to shoot like a logo three and turned your back
Starting point is 00:21:02 immediately and like threw up like three, like a tray with your hand or something. Yeah. And it, and it just didn't even hit the rim. Yeah, come on. We have reached out to the family and are committed to not only making it right, but to exceeding expectations. We will be providing the fan with the PS5 that he should have taken home last night, along with a VIP experience to a future game. Our goal is and will remain to elevate the guest experience
Starting point is 00:21:27 for every person that enters Spectrum Center and to show our fans how much we appreciate their relentless support. It's like the skit missed the mark is not no, the skit was a front for you. Like fake giving this kid a it's's no, actually there actually is no metaphor in basketball for what this was. It's like, it's just immoral. It's just like, what are you doing? You mean like, hey, we're gonna make ourselves look good.
Starting point is 00:21:56 Like we just gave this kid a PS5 and then yoink it backstage. It's while the dad, the way the dad talks, it is like talks about what happened. He's like, we got the PS5, the hornet's dancer who actually gave him the PS5. She starts to pack it up for him in the bag. Quote, then we get kind of like all the way back to backstage. And you know, the guy who kind of found us in the first place, he starts to kind of take it away and everybody thinks he's joking because nobody would think he'd be taking the PS5
Starting point is 00:22:21 from the kid. It got pretty awkward because eventually he had to make it clear that he wasn't joking. Like, what the fuck was that? Like that guy just wanted the PS5. Give it. Come on, man. Give it. No, I'm fucking give it. Fucking give it. And then how much cost? Yeah. Yeah, that's it's it is that thing where somebody does something baffling and is like, OK, sorry, like, I guess you guys don't get it. Like they're trying to hide it as like a joke that you aren't getting in some way. And it just like makes it clear that this is a some some manner of sociopath
Starting point is 00:23:05 who has never understood a single joke in their entire lives. And they think like a joke is saying you'll do something and not doing it or something. Yeah. It's again. Then they're like backstage like, well, I'm here. We actually have a gift here. Take it. What is a Kembo Walker jersey? He doesn't even plan that or it was Played for them in 12 years off fuck this is so old. Well, yeah fucking I just found it. Okay Jesus Christ, man Man kids am I right? He's like looking at the dad. Yeah, listen, at my right. This fucker like this at home too. What? Sir, he's in tears. That's so wild. All right.
Starting point is 00:23:50 I kind of miss the mark. I guess the joke didn't land. It sounds like, yeah, it sounds like some shit like Michael Scott in the office would say after doing so real, something like real off color, racist shit or something in the office. Like, okay, that's the theme mixed with like a bad sense of humor and like a desperation to be perceived as funny. Right. Like, oh, yeah, yeah. Yeah. And and you could see Michael Scott being like just really wanting the PS5.
Starting point is 00:24:21 Yeah. And he would and would insult the kid to his face. Right. Yeah. Yeah. All right. We have some bad news. You know, people who've been listening to the show since the pandemic know that we rode hard for hydroxychloroquine. Whoops, whoops, whoops, whoops. Oh, boy. Oh, God.
Starting point is 00:24:42 So there was this one study, this one very low. I would say that our skit of saying, citing this one study thousands of times and only this one study missed the mark. So this was a thing that so it got withdrawn, right? It got retracted. This study that said that Hydraxaclora quin was good for battling COVID. This is the one they all were like, yes. See?
Starting point is 00:25:09 Well, what about this? Right. Because it was not the one that was officially endorsed by the government. So it had that going for it. It was like, see, the government's lying and I'm scared to die. So I need something that bridges that gap. And they found there was a study that was like, Hey, this actually seems to work. Like this thing that people started talking about on the internet first seems to
Starting point is 00:25:36 work. And three of the authors have since been like, could you take my name off that shit? The methodology like is really fucked up. It doesn't seem to. Wait, who's this? Who am I talking to? This is this is one of the authors of the study. Oh, wait, really? Yeah, you're saying the authors of the study have.
Starting point is 00:25:56 Oh, you guys don't like it. Oh, boy. Whoops. No longer wish to see their names associated with the article. So what do you think happened? Is this like, you think it's more like, oh, that was such an L take. We had like we aren't going to work anymore. Like the grift is over. Like, I wonder if they got what they did out of this.
Starting point is 00:26:17 And now they're like, we don't want to be associated with this anymore. Like, you know what I mean to the point where they're they're they're they're dirty, they're sullied in the medical field for even penning this thing I feel like it's probably I feel like just this is another case of the woke mind virus getting No, I think it's probably there was a lot of people even in academia who like I remember there was a Stanford study in the early days of the pandemic that like when we were all trying to figure out what the fuck was going on, it was like a Stanford epidemiologist and like basically libertarian like got together and we're like the government is
Starting point is 00:26:57 making way too big a deal about this. Like this thing's going to kill like 20 people tops. Right. Right. And like there, there was an appetite for that take. So like, I don't know exactly how it came to be in the first place that there were actual respected like medical professionals who were willing to sign their name onto this. I think it's actually like kind of surprising in our country that there weren't more that you know, like the way that like what we've learned about how information moves and how
Starting point is 00:27:31 universities get funding and all that shit. And yeah, and then like the gravity of the truth just kind of eventually pulled them out of this delusion of like, yeah, this is actually like kind of a tight, uh, this is pretty sick actually. Those last couple of studies, they missed the mark. They might've missed the mark. They might've missed the mark a little bit. Um, uh, Kevin spacey reference for these past two.
Starting point is 00:27:59 I'm trying to think, um, she ever play a character named, was he in pay it forward? Yeah. Hey pay it forward. Yeah, pay it forward. So pay that forward and study conspiracy. Well, we'll put a pin in that one. Yeah, we'll put a pin in that one. But definitely a fragile house of cards. That whole study was built. It was built on a fragile house of cards. That whole study was built. It was built on a fragile house of cards.
Starting point is 00:28:26 And then the authors had to come back and say, let me be Frank. Oh, Jesus. Is he gonna do those weird canceled, they're not anymore, because like people, like the time has lapsed in cancellation jail in Hollywood. And they're like, okay, it's just more of a penalty box. Spacey comeback.
Starting point is 00:28:44 Yeah, yeah, exactly. It's like, oh yeah, that's a of a penalty box. They come back. Yeah, exactly. It's oh, yeah, that's a two minute. My only box is is that actually sounds even worse using a two minute minor. Two minute minor. Anyway, what else? What else? What else? The war on Christmas has been pretty quiet this year. Like I wonder why has barely mentioned it. This has traditionally been their biggest like manufactured seasonal
Starting point is 00:29:09 controversy. And last year, like, it was mainly focused on target selling a gay nutcracker as they call it. Black Santa Claus in a wheelchair. But that's really, it's like they're more focused on woke mind virus getting its hands all over the government down. Yeah. They want to shut the government down too. Yeah. And they also want to focus on shutting the government down. Just like Kevin Spacey and house of cards. I haven't seen it. Okay. He cannot throw a baseball. I'll tell you that. But there's some weird scenes.
Starting point is 00:29:38 He's like, he's like, like pitching to like blow steam off. Anyway, I'm done talking about Kevin Spacey in House of Cards. Yeah, yeah. It's like it's we it looks it looks alien. Yeah, it looks like a guy who's like a like a thespian who's like, like I can mimic the motion of throwing a ball. Yeah, yeah. Like an alien like Capex. All right. According to according to a recent YouGov poll, only 23% of Americans believe there is a war on Christmas in the U.S., which is down from just a decade ago, where that number was around 51%, which
Starting point is 00:30:16 is wild. Holy shit. But now the thing that we're starting to see, it's moving in the opposite direction where now we're seeing people start to take shots at the like standard Christmas traditions for being not Jesus enough. Oh, that's going to be a hard one to win y'all. Yeah. Yeah. But Miles, I would love for this to be the direction that they go. They just keep give them an inch and they're just like, and you know what else? Santa is Satan.
Starting point is 00:30:50 Yeah. Uh huh. Oh, that that's that Jack Black movie. That's Santa. Yeah. Um, do you know, have you heard, have you heard about this folks? It's about a kid who's writing a letter to Santa, but I think he's like slightly dyslexic. So he writes near Satan. So the letter that he puts in the magical mailbox ends up going to H.E. double hockey sticks. And he summons fucking, you know, bills above him. Wow. And they become friends.
Starting point is 00:31:17 Oh, it's like cute, cute Satan. Yeah. He like feels bad. He's like, oh, shit, this kid thinks I'm fucking Santa. Wow. And it's played thinks I'm fucking Santa. Wow. And it's played by Jack Black and Santa. Yeah, it's played by Jack Black. Wow. Yeah, that's fun. I like it. That's a good premise. Is that out? Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's out already.
Starting point is 00:31:35 It's like there's like 700 of these weird celebrity facing like there's a Ben Stiller one, too. That's out. Yeah. Just look around, folks. There's Christmas shit everywhere. There's Christmas everywhere. But yeah, they're mad at the hypocrisy of people who quote, pretend to be devoted Christians who care a lot about Christ's birth
Starting point is 00:31:56 when they really don't. Oh no, y'all are in for a shock about a lot of the other things that is in the Bible that they don't care about. I mean, they still are weird. Like the Democrats seized on like, they're weird, right? And everyone's like, yeah, they're weird. And the Democrats are like, okay, I just wanted to point it out. We're not going to mention it anymore. But like that, they still haven't really faced any consequences for how weird they are. So I feel like they're going to continue to progressively get weirder and weirder. Oh, yeah. To the point where it's like the least fun person
Starting point is 00:32:31 ever is like making all the rules and it was like, dude, shut up. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Not doing that. But the fuck we we we Trump, we won. It's like, yeah, but yeah, but I I'm still I still need to have my Santa non Jesus Christmas. I'm sorry. What the fuck do you think this is? Anyways, well, we'll keep an eye on it, but I would love to be on the side of Santa Claus and the war on Christmas man You know what? I mean, you'd fight on Santa's side. I'd fight on Santa's side for the like non overtly Christian
Starting point is 00:33:12 parts of the holiday celebration, Santa and fucking, you know, Santa fucking and people getting a little bit drunk, you know, all the time. And the food, the desserts, the sweets. The fact that you would fight on Santa's side again demonstrates you were always against me because I will always fight on the side of Christ. Wow.
