My festive guests this week on Jesus' birthday are BRENDAN MURPHY of Counterparts, EMMA BOSTER of Dying Wish, JEREMY DEPOYSTER of The Devil Wears Prada and acclaimed photographer/videographer IMANI GIVERTZ. We got absolutely hammered in July and pretended it was Christmas. Enjoy. Thank you for the support over the most successful year of the podcast ever. Wishing you all the best (unless I hate you) in 2024, let's make it a good one.

Got three words for you guys. Ho, festive. Ho? Derogatory. Ho. Festive. It's the Downbeat Christmas special. We do it every year, and by that I mean, this is the first year we've done it, but from now on we will be doing it every single year.

I am back from tour. I am, I was going to say rested, but I've been back from tour two days. I'm about to be rested. what a year. Just want to say a massive thank you to everyone who Fs with the podcast. We did twice the number of episodes this year, as we did last year. I say we, just me. 27 episodes this year.

Nashville trip was a success. Just a great year. I'm thankful for all of you for tuning in. for if you're on the Patreon you're getting this on Christmas Day Merry Christmas

Day if you're not on the Patreon it's one pound Patreon.com 4 slash and downbeat you get the episodes early you get the merch early you might get free video games on Christmas Day

anyone on the Patreon will know what I meant by that Patreon smash that paid for Nashville that paid for me getting Simon the editor in this paid for me to get new camera gear

that you're seeing this on hopefully it looks nice Nice. I've had a wonderful year, guys. All thanks to you. I've got a crazy episode coming up. This was filmed in Nashville in July, but it is a Christmas special. It's very festive. Some festive guests and festive topics. But first, go to the downb-e. Dot A-T. So it spells down the admi and buys a merch, number one. Look at this. Now, if you're just listening to this, you're an idiot. Look at it. Gorgeous. Bloody gorgeous it is. Lovely crew neck camouflage, multiple screen print.

It costs me a lot of money. Costs you slightly more, but that is how business works. Before we do that, before we do the episode, let me tell you about a sponsor of today's episode, Displate. They make metal posters. They mount on the wall with a magnet. There's no drilling. You know it by now, right?

But there's a downbeat store, and in the Downbeat Store, there's now a new poster. I haven't even announced it yet, but go on and look at it because it is absolutely ridiculous. I'm going to get one. I'm going to hang it. I reckon above my bed. It's mental. I might pop it up on the screen here.

Yeah, it's nuts. Basically, it's me naked. So if you want that, you go to displate.com. Use a go downbeat. You get 22% off 1 to 3 displays or you get 40% off. It might be 30%. I can't even remember at this point. It's a massive discount.

It changes all the time. It's anywhere between 20. and 25% off 1 to 3. It's very professional, isn't it? And it's 30 to 40% off 3 or more. They sponsor the podcast. Not only they sponsor the podcast, I put them in the background of the podcast.

They look sick. My whole house is just dressed head to toe in displays. Huge fan of display code downbeat. My guests, plural, on this festive edition, where we get very drunk and it's very, chaotic are power couple Emma Boster and Jeremy DePoister. Try saying that after a couple margaritas from Dying Wish and the Devil West Prada plus your problematic fave, Brendan Murphy, plus

photographer and videographer to the stars Ammani Givert. I've never actually said her second name out loud to her. So I don't know if I'm saying that right, but she's amazing. One of my close friends, love to have her on the podcast, as well as all the other, all the others back. It was pretty chaotic. Just great to hang out on mates. I hope you're having a lovely Christmas.

And if you're not having a lovely Christmas, I hope that you watch this and pretend that you're in the room with us and you have a lovely Christmas with us. It's the Downbeat Christmas special on the Downbeat. Smack that. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. Oh, and it's going to be such a good Christmas. It feels, yeah, you're right.

It feels different. It's going to... Imagine we do this, disclaimer, we're doing, this is happening in August, but imagine we do this and it's like a nuclear bomb dropped on Christmas. It feels like it's going to be a great year. It's one war three. I can really feel Jesus in the room with us right now.

That's me. me. Baby Jesus are like mid-aged adult, like, resurrected Jesus? The hot one, the hot one. Is this a Talladega Knights reference? He didn't get that far into adult. No, he didn't. I'm older than Jesus.

How old is he? I think about that all the time. 33. That was way too quick. He was in his prime. Speaking of, everyone knows that. Speaking of. I didn't know that.

You're the one that. That Jesus was 33? Yeah, everyone knows that. I took religion classes and shit, but like I didn't, you know, I'm sorry. I didn't focus on the age. No part of me was like, because Jesus driver Carly would he just. And how old was this?

Did he. Buckley 27, Jesus 33. Everyone knows. I thought he was in the 27 Club for a bit, but speaking of, I'm kind of like the three wise men because I've brought all my little babies' presents for Christmas.

I love this. Craig, Merry Christmas. I had no idea this was coming. Brendan, Merry Christmas. Are you sure it wasn't the elves? Thank you. Oh, yes.

Zing! Wow, that's good. But I have, I have to announce something. I made that joke when we tried to start this again. And no one heard it and it got no pop except Amani. And I looked her and I went, I thought, that was good. And this time, what happened was... You really landed.

The first time we tried to do it, I threw an elf bar at Amani. She spilled a drink all over her and Brendan and now we're... All over my ass. Chaos 20 minutes. So now I'm wed. We restarted, but that was good because... I noticed I was nearly out of space anyway, and we would have, I wouldn't have noticed. That would have gotten the whole of...

Can everyone hit? It's almost like... Thank you, Jesus. It was middle-aged Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Yeah. Thank you, Jesus. Yeah.

Same hair. Yeah. I kind of look like... Jesus was a bad thing. Painting, though. He was. He was. He was kind of low-key hot, yeah.

Emani, can he say that? No, cut that one out. Oh, so now, Lamon... Leave it in. I want it to be known. Now, Amai's here. I'm no longer... Jesus Christ was a bad thing. He's a bad guy.

You can, yeah, you didn't do an accent. He can say that. So we should probably review the margarita that Brendan has so beautifully. One year ago today, the first margarita club. Really? Yes, one year ago today. The zombie tour started a year ago today and we figured it out while they were doing their pod. That's insane.

We were chatting and then I felt it. We were like, it was about this time last year. It could be it to the day and I was like, it's going to be. It has to be. Yeah, and because it's Christmas, Brendan and I have already been on tour together. Dude, and it was so good. It was so fun.

It was so fun and good. I left Emma for you for a little bit, but then we came back together. My favorite part was a lot of people came. Yeah, it was awesome. Literally. And it was good. I hope I don't have to add some kind of, like,

posthumous thing to the beginning of this, because it's, yeah. And just be like, this was filmed before Christmas after. the tragic deaths of Brendan. Oh no. Yeah, straight up. Uh-uh, rebut that. I didn't know.

No, do you know what though? It happened in my head and I thought if I don't get this out, it's going to happen. True. I give it honestly, at least to me. It might. I'm curious what you guys think. It's kind of like a 3.5 to me. It's good.

It's nice and strong. Yes. Because of the redoing of this, it's quite warm. Oh, it is. My ice melted. I will need another one. Yeah, we'll be going to... I'll make it on the pod.

I'll give it a more. Oh, yeah, you can make it on the pod. Shake it. Wait, but... 3.5 out of what? Five. Five. Five. Five.

Yeah, okay. Five lines is the rating system. Were you there when we were rating the... Three? Maybe. I think we had just descended into this. I'm a drunk. It's because it's really strong, right?

I ain't giving this a four. It's not a four. It doesn't have, like, fresh, fucking blind. I'm actually going to give it as three because how... I think a three. It tastes good. In order to be a four, it has to be a mind-blowing margarita. A five is the rarest of things, like the rooftop in Dallas.

Oh my good God. It's a light changing mark. We went back there. Oh yeah, we were texting you. Yeah. So I don't drink very often, so let me just make it very clear that to me this is a 3.9. Amani, first off, welcome to the downbeat. Oh, thank you.

First timer. Merry Christmas. Referenced often. Now you're here. Thank you. Let's put a face to the name. I can't even remember what you said, because I really wanted to just introduce you there.

Videoographer, photographer, legend, Christmas staff owner. Christmas staff owner in the middle of summer. What is that, by the way? It's a reith. Yeah, cool. But it's like classic. Can it look like a classic Roman? Is that a normal stocking?

Um, it's... Did you shoot that? Again, not to Dwan this, but that's some fucking Diablo shit. Yeah. Is it? Is it good? Stop.

Stop trying to get a Diablo deal, well. The ship has sailed. When I'm taking time off of the Metal Core Dropout store, I play Diablo fire out. Don't give anyone a plug, although nearly got a monster one today. Hey, high noon. How's it going?

What did you actually just say? I'm sorry. Oh, because I don't drink very often, I will give this a higher rating because it is quite lovely and I will probably be drunk by the end of this episode. but I've seen you drink for the last three days in a row. Yeah, I know I'm on a bender.

We kind of are on a bender right now. It feels like Christmas. I'm on a bender. Do you guys go on a bender around Christmas? Absolutely. Ask this episode as, I'll be in a bitch. I've been on a bender since they said don't leave the house. I've been on a bender since I was 20 or 17 years old.

Let me make it very clear. My bender is 1.5 drinks. Nice. It must be nice. And then I'm wasted. We did take... A triple rum shot. I would be a fucking millionaire.

How good was that triple rum shot, though? It was good. Last night, it fucked. That put me in the ground. Yeah. But it's Christmas. We can't talk about that. It's snow on the ground and shit.

Yeah. It will be interested. We should do at some point some predictions. Oh. Things that if anyone pops into your head, like, I wonder if that has happened by then. Just pretend it has. And we'll go for that.

Thank God there's not an election. I actually, I was going to. I think Santa's doing like an email. Simonite thing. Desan-Santis? We can go to that. DeSantis. Oh, yeah.

Perfect. DeSantis, you can't say God damn. You can't say, you can't say an F-Bomb. I can't say anything. I was going to ask you guys just earlier, and Emma told me to save it for the pod. Does anyone find Christmas a little bit kinky at all? Mrs. Claus or just stuff? Yeah, the idea of like a sexy Mrs. Claus, like with the hat and some red laundry.

Are you saying no? Yeah. Dude, I'm a fucking prevert and no. It's awesome, right? I think I'm more shocked that he doesn't. Me too. What's her name in The Grinch? Oh, Marcia.

Jim carries, Martha May. Oh, yeah, she abatting for sure. When she's got her, she's like, and she's like, oh, the Grinch. And then, but then also you got bad Santa, when she's when she's fucking Santa. Okay. Wait, did Martha May give me a

sexual awakening. I think Emma came... Yeah, okay, never mind. When... It's last around. Aw. It's kind of weird. You're kind of making out with Santa.

Santa kind of looks like he's tied up. What is this? It's going to get me canceled. Oh, and how far into it can we go? That's going to get you canceled? My mom canceled, maybe. Oh, oh, I hung out with an old white guy with a white beard. He's going to get canceled.

He's laying back and taking that. He looks like he's tied up. that is in every guitarist from every metal club band that we tour with. Can you send me it and I can get it superimposed and hopefully not cancel for that? Yeah, thank you. Because otherwise, this is fucking dead air.

No, just pop it up there for a second. If that's going to get, if you're listening to the audio of this, no, she's not Santa. Santa's canceled for that because he's fucking... I feel like Santa's hell of cancel. I can't believe he doesn't find Miss Claus hot. My brother in Christ, have you never been to a

strip club on like around Christmas? Yes, it explains a lot about... It is. It's not. I've only been to strip clubs with you and Drew. I think that Christmas is kind of horny for me

because of a spoil kink. Oh, true. And on Christmas, you get spoiled, right? Oh, nice. Are we just going there? Yeah, no, that's cool. It's a joke, but, you know. Is it a joke?

No. I will say the older I get, the more fun I have on Christmas because all of my kinky friends will get us all weird stuff for Christmas. That's awesome. What you got? Oh, my friend got us all matching vibrators for Christmas last year. Nice.

Were they like Christmas? Jeremy did the same thing. Yeah, I did. You can use these. Yeah, I got a bar. I'll show you guys later when they pot's over. I think you might get a horrific form of cancer. My brother-in-law did send me recently.

There's like a new cancer-curing pill. It might be out by Christmas. Blu-shut. And he goes, I'm never seen. stopping these now. Your brother's got their heads up on that. Yeah, I don't know. He found it.

It was on Barstool, I think. So who knows how it was possible that is. Exclude you. Yeah. Medically sound, for sure. Yeah. You know, all the doctors at Barstool have come up with a cancer cure and we're good. Wait, you guys know there's a barstool bar here in Nashville off of Broadway, right?

Maybe we go tonight. Is it just called Stool? If they didn't just call it Stool, I'll be so annoyed. We'll find out tonight. I honestly wouldn't surprise me if they miss that opportunity. So even though it's Christmas, we did go out on Broadway last night. Craig, what was your thought? And was that your first time on Broadway?

That's my first time, man. What was you guys think? My thought was, we're in Nashville, by the way. My thought was it was like the movie Bugsy Malone, where the children are, like, dressed as grown-ups. But, like, I felt like there was, like, a deleted Bugsy Malone scene that was a wedding. Oh, yeah. A cowboy wedding.

A lot of Bachelorette. slash the end of any Lindsay Lohan movie That was funny That got a pop for sure Where there's like a big gig at the end She's singing

Jamie Lee Litton, Jamie Lee Curtis is there Is fucking going off So freaky Friday Yeah but I feel like all her other ones Have a fucking gig It's kind of Hillary Duff No but I mean what like what day of the week is it today? There's another one though

The one with the guy and McFlyer in it What's that movie but the same thing? Back for the future Shut up I was going to say that too It's called Just My Luck It's a phenomenal movie The only reason why I watched it

And there's a gig at the end Was because Mcfly was in it And they were my favorite band Do you know my Mcfly story? Please tell me It's been on the podcast So I'm gonna quick Quicken it up

I had a Josie and the Pussy Cats I'm listening It still needs to be coherent I know we're having fun I need to make it coherent for this Sorry I auditioned to be in McFly No fucking way

Yeah And what they did They put it up in my in like I was at music college at the time they put it up because there was a band called Busted and they I know I love it too. Okay so did you know the bust that Busted wrote for the Jonas

and brothers? Yes, the year 3000 is an original song yeah so and there's Air Hostess which also was a Jonas Brothers B-side door I know it all you got it right so there was like but it was a busted busted management

uh new band need a drummer was up in the drum school part of the thing all these criteria must be six foot and I went, looked at all the criteria I got to the six foot bit and went, I'll just go. I went, walked in immediately.

You're not six foot. Straight away. I was crushed. And they were crushed. Oh, no, they let him. He's hot and six foot. He was very hot. He did the audition anyway.

Obviously you didn't get it. RSAB and McFlyne. And he got one Lindsay Lowhan as well actually. Wow. But what about those? Good for him. Then the band was released, because I never knew it was for McFly. The band was released, and all of their promo shots were a perfect gradient in height with him at the end.

And I was like, I would have fucked that up. It was meant to be, yeah. I'm glad you're here. I don't think we'd have the downbeat if you had got that good. And we wouldn't be able to share that story. Oh, I'd give a fuck. But we wouldn't be friends. I mean, I wouldn't have known.

True. Should we call Craig Mack from now on? nuts deep in... Mixed by. I'd be flies deep in Lindsay Lohan. My fly would be undone. My fly would be undone. Anyway, that's fucking degrading.

Take that back. Whoa. We'll cut that one. No. She's a lovely way to... I really... Leave it. I really hope she's doing okay.

She did. She's a baby. Good. She was my childhood. Oh, same. Like, and Averloven. Like, those were like my three. And Amy Lee.

Same. Same. Same. Same. For different reasons. Yeah. Or maybe. Maybe it's a baby.

Maybe the same reason. Has anyone got like a Christmas that sticks in their head of like something that happened at Christmas? Amani smiling so much I need to give her a microphone that isn't on Brendan because it's currently the Amani show which I love. Look at her. That's a fucking story. You're really going to destroy Brendan if he has to give up his microphone. She's drunk already. I'm doing.

No, I'm drunk already. Hangs out with Craig. You have two. If it's, if it's, if it's, one time my dad got so pissed off because we were with my mom's family and they were so crazy. This probably shouldn't be on the internet, but it's fine. They were so crazy. My dad left Christmas and flew home. Oh, I thought you meant like he left.

Where were you? We were in Maryland and my mom's family drove him so crazy that I remember him getting up and saying, you guys can come with me or not, I'm leaving. And he got a taxi and he got. That's awesome. And then my other favorite Christmas is when I got my cat. smoky and I had him for 19 years. One time at Christmas my dad told us

at my aunt's house that he was getting a divorce from my mom. That takes a cake. On Christmas Day. No way. Mark. I don't think it was on Christmas Day. It might have been Christmas Eve. I back it.

When am I going to drop this bomb shop? Oh, I know. Here's the thing. They'll be distracted by the presents. Yeah. Yeah, that's the thing. If you do it on Christmas, At least you know there's going to be like a vibe change that'll kind of make up for it. Was it a vibe change?

I think we got a lot of good presents, but yeah. If that's not true, I feel really bad for saying that, but I feel like I remember. It's quite interesting. If it's not true, though, you remembering it like that, there's something to unpack there. I have a lot of issues. No, I'm kidding. Anyone else? I got a hot Christmas story.

Do it. How hot? Is it? I mean, he's got a whole. Oh, okay. Oh, Mrs. Claus didn't show up. No, she says North Pole

Check it out. There was one Christmas. I've never been this sick in my life. Like even when I had COVID, it wasn't that bad. Like I had the flu, but like real flu that turns into pneumonia and shit.

And I was just in bed. It was like, it was the Christmas before in January, we were going to do the viatrophy album. And I was like, in bed just fucking dead. And my dad, I must have been like. like, fucking, I don't know, 17 or something. And my dad came into my room on Christmas Day, and I've been fucking in there for, like, a week. And my dad was like, every day my dad was, like, giving me fucking,

like, ibuprofen and stuff and make me feel better or whatever, vitamin C, all that shit. And he came in and was like, and there was like a new pill in the pills that he was giving me. And I was like, what's that? It was like, oh, it's an anti-inflammatory. Took it, whatever. Start feeling fucking great. and I was like, oh, I'm going to go down for Christmas dinner.

Went down for Christmas dinner, having a lovely Christmas dinner. And then my dad's just like laughing to himself. Was it a laxative? Oh, no, no, no. I was like, what are you laughing at? And he was like, you feel pretty good? And I was like, yeah. And he was like, that was the morphine that your auntie left when she was like, you know,

she passed on. She had morphine that. My dad fucking gave me heroin on, my dad gave me heroin on Christmas. day. That's awesome. And like I had a great Christmas dinner and everything. Let me tell you about the come down from the drug heroin. I was for you again. I must have been over fucking 17. I said 17. It was via actually. Maybe I was 20. I think I'd moved back home. I was definitely 20 when my dad gave me heroin. But like in my country, you can drink at 18. Heroin, I don't know if I don't think there is any age when you're, yeah. But like, it was so fucking funny. But the next day I felt

10 times worse for another two weeks because I was on a heroin come down. Just Scottish things, man. Just Scottish things. Merry fucking Christmas. Great Christmas dinner though.

That was buzzed. Mom, this rose. My last two Christmases were ruined by COVID. But especially 2021, I got COVID on tour. And then I tested positive for COVID for like 11 days.

So we were going to do an Emma Christmas. and then it just never happened because I continued to be positive. And I didn't want to kill my nana, who's 96, she's my great grandma. But she always, my family, we do like, Christmas Eve is a bigger deal than Christmas.

Is anyone else like that? Yeah, America and us are very different. Yeah, well, Christmas Eve is like, like, that's when we open presents and, like, really celebrate. And then Christmas Day is, like, you get up in the morning and you drink coffee that's spiked,

and then you kind of are just day drunk and you just chill all day. With heroin? Sadly, no, but I could pitch it. It's a new year, yeah. It might work. But, no, my 96-year-old Nana, bless her heart, she just drinks a lot and then.

Does she listen to podcasts? No. Then we're good. You can say whatever you like. Yeah, she listens to the radio. You're going to be on terrestrial radio anytime soon? Does she have Twitter? Let me tell you about me on terrestrial radio.

radio? Actually, by this point, I will have already done it. Okay. But your nan's not going to listen. It's BBC Radio. No. Unless that didn't happen either, in which case everyone's like, this motherfucker. Just so you know, I fucked that up if it didn't happen. You're going to be on there. It's going to be beautiful. It's going to have been done. What else is your tour?

Will have been finished by now? Yes. We spoke about it briefly. I don't know if it was pre or post this all fucking up, Spillage. But how was the tour? Amazing. So good. It was crazy. Particularly favorite shows? Tell me about the tour. Who was on it?

No, go ahead, go ahead. Devorse Prada, Fit for a King, counterparts with my beautiful boy here, and Landmarks, French guys. Brendan and I kind of got into a weird thing with the Landmarks guys. It was like a French thing.

But we worked at all. Yeah, it was the PTSD from, you know, growing up so close to French Canada. It was the whole thing, you know, it's... The Putin slaps, though. Who got arrested? It's all right. But we both did.

It was such a good tour. Yeah, it was amazing. So good. We're in a lineup like that. What's not to like? True. Yeah. Except by this point, somebody's done something horrific from one of those bands.

Oh, the tour was great. Yeah, wasn't that the tour? Wasn't that the tour last? I'm not going to say it. Jesus. Mm-mm, don't say it. Uh-oh. What does everyone want for Christmas?

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, rewind, because it's something that you said. Like, you have. have Thanksgiving and we don't have Thanksgiving. Yes. But, so on Christmas Day, we have what you would consider a Thanksgiving dinner. We do that on Christmas

too. I thought, I mean, everyone else is Australia has pizza? Is that just the New York thing? That's very long out. Or like Chinese food? Okay, I do Chinese food. Yeah. Every year. On Christmas Day. But that's because my dad's Jewish. A Christmas story. But he's also British. He's also British. So where's

this fucking turkey at? Yeah, true. My sister's a vegan. Shout out. Yeah, so is Emma. Yeah, so it's a toferky. Those things are fucking dog shit, guys. They're not good. Yeah, I love...

Someone needs to up that game. Field roast. Field roast? Yeah, from Seattle. Yeah? They make a good roast. Fake turkey, fake chicken. What's the vibe?

Turkey. Or ham. The ham one is really good. I like a ham. I eat a lot of Christmas. As you can see, I've been piling it on. So over here, and I don't... You guys have a different Thanksgiving, right?

Yeah, we do. What? Yeah, like Canadian and American Thanksgiving is different. Hit me. Yeah, we both just... Just very polite. Just massacred. Yeah, it's horrible.

On different days. You did it together. But... Well, we were fighting each other at the time, hence whether... Plus, also you. Yeah. Yeah, on the tour that definitely happened. Oh, you mean that?

Oh, I think... No, I... No. Brandon... Brandon is taking the joke I wanted to make as well. and doing the same thing. On that tour, you colonize the United States. Yes.

Yeah. What actually... Yeah, Mike from Partas, the new president. Yikes. I would vote. He's well red. He's so well-read. He's so intellectual, yeah.

I feel like he'd be a good president. I think he would, too. Yeah, he's good. He's good. The merch would be cool. Also vegan. We would have some cool, like, you know, he's got progressive ideals.

True. I'm thinking, like, a black... He's changing. Unreadable black metal. Yeah, I was gonna say, it's gonna be a black metal. Yeah, like a black metal logo. Mike for president. What are you doing in Canada?

Thanksgiving? Like, I mean, like, it's the exact same as U.S. Thanksgiving. It's just, I think, a month. Okay, when is your Thanksgiving? November. Yeah, ours is a month before. Oh, okay. You beat us.

October? Yeah. That's Halloween. Because it's scary. Wait, you have, what, October's what? October 27th or whatever, when's Thanksgiving? It changes. It's the last Thursday of November.

I think ours is like the third Monday of October. In America, you basically have a period from Thanksgiving until after New Year where you're just eating and drinking like nonstop. Oh, it goes from there. Yeah, and buying stuff because we have Black Friday. Because ours goes from like Christmas. You got Christmas. You have Boxing Day.

We have Boxing Day. Oh, you do, yeah. Shout out the Queen. What the hell? I'm going to be real ignorant right now. What the hell is a boxing day? Close up the boxes. I don't know what the name is from.

Everything's on sale. It's a holiday. It's basically our Black Friday, but now we have Black Friday too. But like, I don't know why the Boxing Day thing happened, but it's the day after Christmas and you get a holiday. If like the Christmas is on a Monday,

obviously that's a holiday. But then the Tuesday would also be one. We call that apology day where you apologize to your family for everything you said on Christmas when you were blacked out the day before. I know. I don't think I've ever had.

like a big Christmas blow up. You should come to mine. Congrats to you guys. Yeah, my family's crazy. I want, I want to. I want to. Every Christmas with my family, I'm like, I want to, I want to lay into you, motherfuckers.

But, but it never happens, you know, because... You want to feel good, yeah. Because it's Christmas. It is Christmas. I, I, yeah, I don't know. Everyone gets drunk. Everyone says a little bit of shit where I'm just like, You're fucking annoying.

Yeah. And then the next morning it's like, everyone was just drunk. Yeah. You eat the egg casserole or whatever thing. I'm sorry, the what? The what? A quiche. It's a quiche.

Like, no, but there's also like an egg cassero. Also, I'm acting like my family does this shit. They don't at all. She just knows about it. She's well read on Christmas tradition. Yeah, I've got other people called for. My stepmom will make something where it's like crescent rolls. Is that what they're called?

We roll them up. A croissant. No, Crescent. I mean, there's a shape of a crescent, and then you said, roll. I'm like, I don't know what it is. Well, it's like a weird thing that we have for some odd reason. You know what a crested roll is. It's in a tube.

Oh, the Pillsbury. Yeah, Pillsbury. So she'll take that, lay a base, and then you put like sausage, egg, peppers, everything in it as a casserole. Oh, the Starbucks breakfast route? Yes, but. As a casserole. Yeah. Pretty good.

Quite lovely. What was it called? I want to pull it up. Quite lovely. Are you going to start speaking with a birch? And also? No, it's funny because we do say quite lovely. Yeah.

Well, my dad says quite lovely. Maybe that's why I say it. Maybe that is. Your dad, give me a little, what you got? What you got? Is it what I'm about saying? What are you got in you, girl? That's fucking absolutely racist.

Where are you from a ridge? I love, oh my God. Tell us about your dad. That's terrible. My dad's very British. What kind of stuff does your dad say? My dad and Brendan are honestly. they should be friends.

Maybe they are friends by now. I don't know. It's Christmas. Who's to say? My dad is very British. And I'm going to get him in so much trouble. Say it. Say it. Say it.

My dad. He's going to kill me. He's like he loves reggae. He loves weed. And not as like a drug, but as a medicine. Let me preface this, though. You are mixed rice. Yes.

Oh my God. And your dad is white. Yes, and my dad is very white. Okay, I know. No, but no, because the story you're about to tell, which I know, if your dad is black and your mom is white is fine. Your dad is problematic and I think it's awesome. He's allowed to be.

Oh, so Armani's dad can do it, but I can. Oh, one kid. Oh, shit. When we were on tour together, Emma was out with us in, like, when we were on the August Marns' Grand Tour, And she hung out with Amani's parents during our show. I had the best time. I had you like smoking weed in the venue.

My parents and my weed pen that my dad sent me. I lost. It meant a lot to me and I lost it in the venue. Keep going. Your dad. So my dad is just the funniest man than I know. And every time I go home, I leave a little bit more educated on patchwa. And the patchwa from your dad's side of the time.

British patchwa. Yeah. But honestly, like, I never knew anything of it to be like, I was literally raised in a household that just listened to radio all the time. And I didn't know it did not come from my mom's side of the family. He thought it was your dad, son. It was my son. I mean, my dad's a raster. He looked at both of them and you're like, that's got to be dad.

He's raster. But you know what? He is such a beautiful creature and human being, and I, yeah. I think he was actually problematic. your mom probably wouldn't be with him. Yeah. It's just my favorite thing is that he'll start saying something and his name is Amatai.

He's a very Jewish, British man. His name is Amatai and my mom's name is Melanie. And whenever he is in his highest form. When he's on his Brandon Murphy shit. When he's on his Brendan Murphy shit. And he's talking to me on the phone or he's somewhere, you can just hear my mom in the background. Amy!

All the time. So that's that. It's kind of us. I'm going to get a, Who? Me and you? Yeah. Emma be yelling at me in the background a lot. Well, he's the pro-matic line.

Have you got a nickname for Jeremy? Jer? I mean, like, one that is like, you know, normal. I don't think we can say it on the podcast, but. Tiny Dick McGee. No. No, we, I don't really have a lot of nicknames for you, actually. I kind of hate it when it's like a boob-boob.

Nah. I call him sugar sometimes. Any of the classics, baby sugar. Yeah. Jared. I call everybody honey. That's true. You do.

Yeah, but like when it's like snuggle puff. Like, you miss me with that. He calls me. He's got one, come on. Why is it? Gay little girlfriend is that? Gay little girlfriend. That's my gay little girlfriend.

Yeah. Is he wrong? Oh my God, man. Oh, yeah, it's cute. No. We got a full spectrum here. She says, I don't know. Oh, let's go.

Yeah. We are canceled. We got free range. We also have a chat where one time, can I say this? She calls me Daddy, obviously. Me and not Amani. Yeah, not me. I want to make that very clear.

She said it in a group chat with Amani. It's me, her, and Amani. And she changed the name of the group chat to do not drop daddy in this chat? A D-bomb, a D-bom. I did not. I said, I responded, I go, do not drop daddy in the chat, and within

seconds, you change the name to do you not drop daddy. That's true. Yeah, sorry. I'm not that clever. Honestly, it would be hard. Black Jew. That's me. I didn't call you a black Jew.

I was going through the things. I pointed at you and said, black Jew. This needs a lot of editing. I'm so uncomfortable. No way. We're done. We're fucking done. We're done for.

There's no, no editing. And this is what I'm saying. Do we need to edit that out? No. I don't mind. Black, Jew, gay. White, so you smell, white, sis, smell. Yeah, yeah.

But we're pretty good. We're very good, yeah. Other than, we're sensitive. It's all diversity, okay, and a lot of businesses can learn from it. They can. And look, we're having fun. We're having fun together, and it's, you know what? That's my favorite thing when it's like, we need to make this.

seem more diverse and look like you're having fun with each other. It does exist in real life, guys. It does. No, it really does. It's real easy to find. I'm not easily offended. Unless someone's speaking Patuo. And that's my dad is speaking old friend.

That's my dad. Yeah. I am on a reggae thing. I'm on a reggae thing. It's like reggae on dance hall. It's, it's, it's, I love it. I think it fucking rocks. It's fine to think it rocks.

The thing that, the thing would bring it into cancellation is an accent. And you're not doing the accent. No, I'm saying. No, I stand up there like the white man I am and go, I think she's a bad ting. I mean, that was nearly an accent. What?

That was it supposed to be. On Jesus' birthday. Oh, did I mention you? We did kick counterparts off the tour. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Brendan got wild. I said, I said too much shit. Brendan did it out, and Selma.

Sorry, Tom. Yeah, we're all fine with that. Hey, what's your favorite Christmas movie? I'm gonna go through because I'm having so much fun and I hope everyone else is, but I also hope everyone else is because I'm like, this is chaos. I'm kind of drunk.

I'm gonna go, yeah, me too, well. To be fair, I don't give a fuck. You're being very slow with your margarita, random. He just took mine. Oh, okay. This is Simani. This is, this is, no, no, no, no, no. This is what I need.

This is very Christmas. I need another margarito. Okay. That's an issue that I'm having. Can Brendan make it during the pod? I'll make it on the pod. You got to go get the shit, though. Amani, you can't see this off camera.

Amani is the only person with the dexterity, the skill. It's straight to that. It's effortless. That's insane. Like, there's a lot of cables off screen. You think I can do that? No, I do not. I know you can't do that.

I know you can't do that. Right. She's getting all the shit. Oh, no, look. Personally, I would crawl through that hole. Because I know I can't do that. I think you said that on Broadway last night. No, I'm just.

Emma, I can start with you. Also, Brendan, your microphone is going to continue to record even if you leave the area. So don't admit to any murders while you're gone. Don't do it. I haven't done one yet. Oh, my God, you guys, I stood up and down and fucked. Here, take this.

Thank you. Okay, so you're starting with Emma? I'm going to start with Emma, but I need you guys to shut the fuck. because you're still marked up. Okay. Emma. Favorite Christmas movie?

Can I give a top three? You can give a top three? Well, you might take other people. Well, I don't care. I'm first. Oh, no, hang on. Jeremy's got a really good point. I'm only going to give you one.

Just one? Just one? It's got to be elf. It's got to be elf. So many bits in that movie, so much quotable content. and just it's it's a feel good it's hilarious a side note on elf and I relate to the whole dad thing that might be it a side note on elf oh wow sorry it's fine I just because I trauma dumb doesn't mean you need to no I'm sorry it's a joke I don't care because you said it and I just went I continued

to ask a question that doesn't matter anyway it's a bit but name another movie since because Elf is a pretty recent Christmas movie. Name another one as good as Elf. Obviously not for you because it's your number one, but I can't think of another Christmas movie that came out and went classic. No. Elf was the last classic new-ish.

It's fucking 20 years old. Because you have, like, I'll go if you want. I would love you to go. Christmas vacation, obviously. Old as shit. But great. It's a classic. I think we all relate to that movie in various ways.

What was the thing you were saying about me being like Buddy the Elf the other day? It was yesterday. You just are Buddy the Elf? I'm like Buddy the Elf, but hotter a little bit. You're like... Buddy the Elf was like a little evil. Yeah.

I think I said specifically, can I say this on the pod? I don't know what you're going to say. I don't know what you're going to say. I want this edited out. I just want to tell you guys. No, no, no, no. I won't be edited out. Okay.

I said I'm like if Buddy the Elf fucked. Of course you can fucking say that. You can drop a F-Berry. bomb? Yeah. Like, but you can't drop a F-enheimer. Oh, he doesn't do that. No, I never would. No, no one does, but I just wanted to make an F-enheimer joke. Because they called an F-bomb at that

karaoke, they said, they said it's a fucking no F-bombs. And in my head, I went, no one was going to say that in great stuff. Can I say something? I'm sorry to interrupt the Christmas movie thing. I'm a huge fan of the pod, as you know, Craig, I text you a lot when you watch it. I love you. This might be my favorite moment

thus far as Brendan Murphy making a margarita on the podcast. It's been a long fucking time coming. This is incredible. All right, Brennan, what's your... Is yours national lampoon? Yeah, national lampoon, for sure. I'll take one, I'll finish my...

And I really like the scene, and I'm sure we all love it. I might bar crawl. Yeah, keep it. He's gonna make a fucking margarita, so... Where Clark is looking out the window in the Blackhawks jersey, and he's envisioning the hot girl

jumping in the pool. That scene's great. The bad thing. Yeah. Stop. I'll go next because I need Brendan's full concentration on this. I believe my favorite is, it's going to be controversial. Okay. To an extent.

If you say the Rudolph, like, claimation shit, I'm going to fucking... What's the Rudolph claimation shit? Isn't that the one that was fucking... Trapped in the closet? Remember that fucking video? Yeah, basically. Not that one, not the cancel. well.

I'm going to go out there. My brain wants to say Gremlins, right? Yes. But, and I know it's ridiculous, I'm kind of a Gremlin's 2 guy, which isn't set at Christmas. So I don't think I want to say Gremlins.

I think I'm going to go Bad Santa. Bad Santa's amazing. I love that movie so much. It's got rewatch quality. Billy Bob is on. Billy Bob. on that movie. Real quick, can I give a runner-up

because I don't think anyone is going to say this? But I love this movie. There's a vegan, fucking hardcore Christmas movie. Sorry. What? I hope it's a movie that I would say. A black Christmas. It's a horror film.

I knew you were going to say a horror film. I love that movie. It's so good. I don't know the movie. Really? It's awesome. Do you like horror films? It's campy.

Do I? Love them. It's awesome. You got to watch it. by this actually you have watched it have I by today it's without spoiling

anything it's kind of like it's like a co-ed killer situation in like a what do you call sorority house and there's a killer

in the sorority house but it's Christmas it's pretty recent it's not a hard sell no it's unless they made a remake I think it's 80s, 70s or 80s. Oh, okay, maybe I'm thinking it's a movie. Oh, it's like old.

Yeah, it's an old horror film. It's on HBO Mac. It's old as shit. Yeah. It's good. I like an old horror film. I mean to an old horror film. If you like, like,

Christmas went bad. Nightmare and Not Bad Santa. Nightmare and Not like a very, very bad Santa. The best scene in Bad Santa is where she's going, fuck me, Santa. When we were talking about, is Christmas horny for anyone else? Yeah. going through it in my head that's all I got yeah that's one of the craziest things I've

ever heard of my fuck me sannie fuck me sannie fuck me fatt and you know what from gilmore girl and she's hot and loki that's really hot yeah yeah the gilmore girl's room oh yeah there were there were some there was some bad things okay so back in case in case we had to edit in case we had to edit all of that out which i really don't want to uh we'll re-approach we we'll re-approach at the time but i think it's funny And if so, only this bit right now that I'm saying now will be edited, because we'll look like we don't give a fuck. But then we can bring that back.

Sure, sure. I'm going with Ad Santa. I like it. I think it's Christmasy, but it's also naughty. Yes. Rare. Yeah, I'm going to stick with Bat Santa. I need Brendan to finish making these fucking margaritas so he can sit back and I can get...

I have a confession to make. What just happened? Yeah. Fuck it. Is your confession that Brendan just poured margarino

all over the couch again? Fucking I'm wrong with. If Gabriel Bcerra is listening to this. I'm gonna fucking die. Just the way.

My ass was not back before. Yeah. Now it definitely was. It was just the fact that Brandon went, yeah. Yeah.

What do you want for? You know, I'm not something happened. You're in a bodybuilder. Help me out. I can't get the fucking shit off.

You know when Something same happens. No, give me like a fucking violet train. I need to open up his... You know when something happens and you go, oh man, I wish someone filmed that. Yeah, I'm so glad that. Literally in fucking 4K.

Oh, I'm crying. I have been Brendan look me in the fucking eyes and went, yeah, I'm just bored. I'm crying. Oh, fuck. Guys, I love this family. I've spilled on myself. No. And I apologize for what I'm coming.

I'm not going to apologize for what I've said. on this because it's Christmas but this is going much better I thought it would this is my favorite episode of the Downbeat ever it should be

oh my God my ass is fucking somebody tell that bald guy my asses what do you want what do you want me to do about this are the margaritas still fine what was not to be insensitive okay cool

I went straight I hope I got on camera my brain originally laughing and then going, oh, that was probably my drink. All of it. Yeah. Oh, it's ice. There's literally, okay.

There's a bunch of ice on me. Am I going to lose my Airbnb deposit? No, no, it's a leather cap. Like I said, this couch has seen worse. I did find a feather. And that's why my sinuses are fucked up. Sit the fuck down. Sit the fuck down.

It's right. It spent how many minutes, Craig, and Brenda's officially back on a leash. No, I have to, I have to, there's math, there's math involved, it sucks Just start pouring him, just start pouring him I care not what it tastes like Yeah, I don't care But there's no rating system here

Leave it I need, I need to remember what the fuck I was about Yeah, make it strong Christmas movies, we're talking about. Yeah, I know, but I can't do you two until you've done the drinks So I need to continue conversing with these two My favorite Christmas movie Is Scrooge.

Make... Oh, that's a good movie. Make your fucking drink. Because he looks like Mr. Burns. Your microphone is pointing away again. This is chaos. That was my bad idea. My favorite Christmas movie.

That sounds great. I wish we'd done that fucking 45 minutes ago. Jesus Christ. Yeah, you do close there. It sounds like one of those memes. Put it back. Put it back. Put it back.

Oh, my God. Put it back. Come on. Act like this. Yeah. No, put it, pull it up a little bit more. No, don't put it there. I need you to make the fucking drink.

Release the string. Put it higher up on the string. Maybe even onto his hood. Do you want it on his hood? I had it on my hood and you moved it. Yeah, because... Do you want it on his hood? Oh, Craig.

It's difficult to get you as well, and you're doing great, and I'm annoyed that you don't... I'm not doing good? You're doing fine. Don't do this to him right now. We still have another hour to go. Am I'm stealing the show and she doesn't have a mic and it's worrying me. Are you just, it's tequila and margarita mixer?

No, I have triple sec. I understand this confusion. It's hard. It's three ingredients. Tequila, margarita mixed in triple sack. It's two ounces of tequila, one ounce of triple sec. What's in the shape? No, that's bullshit.

That's bullshit. Just do one, one. That's that shit. And then I have to also do this, which is you have to do four ounces. So two shots of this. All right. Just do it. Just do it.

I mean, this doesn't mean. We believe to you. We believe to you. To be honest, this is very much what it's like hanging out with us for other people. The audience currently is anyone that is not us hanging out on a night out. You thought you wanted to hang out with us. Now how do you feel? I mean, this is ideal for me. Yeah.

It's a dream. We're awesome. Yeah. I love you guys so much. Yeah. Actually, like, I really do. I'm going to be going home tomorrow. And I got a flying boxing day. You know it's going to be fucking crazy.

Is he about a YouTube song? Flying home on Boxing Day. That German band. Yeah. That German band, you make the Margarita. They do like 3,000 in Dortmund. Oh, my boxing day. Sorry, I'm done.

The YouTube song, Flying Home on Boxing Day, that's insane. That's good. That's good. That's fucking insane. By Alpine. So Christmas movies. Brendan, you can say yours while you're doing a drink.

I can't really talk at you because I'm looking at what this scene looks like. It looks terrible. So, yeah. It's just your back. Hurry up. If you're listening, and for the one time I'll say this

out of all 10 episodes I've done in Nashville, if you're just listening to this, then congratulations. It's probably more entertaining than what is being shown right now is three different angles of Brendan's back. I mean, my back's kind of shit hot though. Yeah?

Yeah, like a little footballer. Look like a little chubby little football. Don't stop pouring while we're doing this. Everyone has got low-key, like, I need another fucking drink. It's the worst bartender ever. I just realized I have a drink. I'm trying. It's kind of like getting a drink at Haba Haba Haba.

No offense to them, but they take forever. What's Haba Haba Hover? That's the bar that we went to with the Tiki bar. Just to give us drinks. Oh, yeah. That's a karaoke bar. They love to socialize. It's, oh, and they.

name. I love the bar. That guy wouldn't stop talking to me. Yeah. He loved you. He was nice, though. I liked him. Oh, I love him. Yeah. But it's, yeah, it's like, you know.

He was a great, great fucking dude. Was that mean? Sorry. What was what mean? What I just said? No. No. Chill.

You're fine. Um, Brendan. Yes. Christmas movie. My favorite Christmas movie. You're not in focus. You're not in focus. Are you just saying Scrooge?

Or are you saying Scrooge? I think it's with the deed. Scrooge. No, no, no, not the D.1. A Christmas Carol. I don't go to fuck about Bill and Murray. So you're talking about a Christmas Carol. You're not talking about, there's no movie called Scrooge.

Yeah, well, the Alisterson version from 1951. Yikes. It's called Scrooge. You didn't know Jesus was 33 and you know that that movie was made in 1951. Yeah, I'm very selective with my. With what goes in? What stays in? It's not my fault?

Oh, oh, oh, oh. Crucifying me. Now absolutely actively creating the worst cinematic shot in history by standing up. Pass out the drinks, please. I think Alice is saying is harder than Jesus Christ ever was. Absolutely fucking out of focus. Plus blocking that camera. Is there even a camera where he looks good?

Brandon, sit the fuck down. That one? Yeah, sure. Some of them have ice, some don't. I don't know. This is great. This is great. Thank you.

Yeah, this is me. Hey, we did it. What about my lover? Hey, we did it, guys. Thank you. That's awesome. That fucking sound. Oh, I have ice.

Yay. Awesome. I feel like I felt like I was in Europe for a minute. No, fuck. All right, to Brendan. Merry Christmas, Friday. Jesus. Merry Christmas.

I'd love to know how, how, I love you. I fucking hate you guys. I hate you guys. I'm trying to be a star and also make drinks. It's so fucking strong. Oh wow.

How in a good way I like Kelly? How's this one? How's this one on the lime scale? It's like reading Brenda's sweet. Very spicy, very strong, but I feel good when I'm done with it. I agree with it. This one I like more. I like this one here. I'm never wrong. He'll never wrong.

So, talk to me about Scrooge? Not the Bill Murray one. 1951. Is there actually, if you're correct on this, I'm literally, you have

brain problems. It might be called a Christmas carol. It fucking is. It might be, but there is a version, the version with Alistair Sim, Alistair Sim is,

he played Scrooge. I was like, is that a new? Scrooge? That's a porn name. Movie. Yeah. Fantasy, drama. 1951.

Wow! Cheers, my dude. Cheers to Brendan and 1951. Cheers. It was a good year. I've been meaning to ask you guys and we haven't been together. Was that on our tour in Dallas when Brendan and Craig went to the JFK thing and one of you laid down?

We both laid them. Both that's what I was. There's two shots. That might be. was two shots. I don't know. Spiritually, emotionally. At the time, there was two shots.

And when we went back, there was two shots. There's one way we're doing this. And there's one where I was pretending to get my fucking brain blown out. But his head just did that. His head just did that. Which is the conspiracy. The next day, I went to Tom and Tom Williams, your bandmate, your manager, you're a manager, and I went,

I need to get that band on tour with me now. Count of pause. After that. Yeah. You welcome. That's all. That's all we had to do. Really? It was a trip to go as well.

That's fucking tame. We took time out of our evening to go. Do you remember the thing on the building? Like the plaque? Someone had scratched the shit off. Oh, like, you know, this is the spot of wherever happened. And somebody scratched it out. Oh, you don't remember that, but you remember 1951.

I remember 951, for sure. I didn't know how old Jesus was. I know. But you knew Scrooge was like. Strike me down where I fucking stand. I didn't remember that. Jesus was a 33-year-old. The plaque, I can't believe that you think that it's not weird that you don't know that,

but you know the name of a fucking Christmas movie. From 1951. You know that it was in May in 1951. Anyway, it said, it said this is the place where Lee Harvey Oswald shot. Where he done did it. Supposedly. Yeah, allegedly. Someone scratched on the actual memorial, someone scratched off Lee Harvey Oswald and they wrote,

the government. Like the government. Yeah. Much more likely, honestly. Wait, do you remember what the first UK date of our tour was

over there? Where was that? Brighton? Is that a place? Yeah. Brighton is definitely a place. Okay. They had a JFK mural there and I was like

in Brighton. Why? Yeah. Big JFK. I thought Brighton is where you guys proposed to Mackie. No, that was London. Let's phone Sam and ask him if they have a JFK Memorial in Brighton. I mean, I can Google it. Low-key, Mackey.

I can't believe we didn't speak about it on our episode. The fucking murder. Oh, wait, yeah. You guys did a toy with Maddick. I love them. I love them. Do you want to hear the story about how we propose to Mackey to be in the band? Yeah, hit me.

Hang on. What was I? That was the first date of... I've only been to the UK once. You didn't go to Brighton. You went to, like, Birmingham or something. No, it was Birmingham. You're right.

Bristol, Bristol. Wow. None of those are the same. Yeah, they have a JFK mural there. I have a picture of it. Mural. Or a statue? Oh, I can see it.

Maybe memorial? That's just fucking graffiti. It's fancy, isn't it? It's like a fucking... No, it's a legit thing. No. Oh. It might have been...

Well, they've got two then. It might have been a bankruptcy. It might have been a bansy. No, it was like a full-on, like two JFK of the United States. I have a picture of it probably. It's a bansy. Is it a bansy? Are you serious?

I was kidding. I was joking. What? Really? It's like a whole corner. Well, Bansy did all his stuff in Birmingham, right? Bristol. Bristol.

Oh, no, Bristol. Do you know the, like, conspiracy about who Bankski is? is? No. It's the guy from Massive Attack. No, he's the fucking guy from Carpool karaoke. James Gordon. James Gordon, yeah. That guy couldn't fucking design a cat. Like, that guy's fucking

come on. One time. Oh, the story about Mackey. Yes, please. Oh, yeah, go ahead. So Mackey is a big Amir fan. It's Birmingham, by the way. Sorry, I've just looked. Birmingham, yes. Weird. And so we were like, we're going to make a cake for Mackey

on the last day of the Euro tour, because it was the first story he had done with us. And so we made a cake that said, Mackey, won't you be my bride? Oh, a mure. Yes. Nice, banging song. Great songs. Song, rocks. Record fucking rocks. Yeah. I was about saying I'm an mure apologize, but I'm not. I'm at that first record. Slaps for sure. It gets on the bus rotation for sure. And Marnie, what's your favorite Christmas movie?

Shit. I need you to speaking to Brendan's microphone because you're too good you're too good to not have a mic yeah what just put it off just put off a fucking handheld this shit now we're just gonna handheld it please um i love you need to still pointing at yourself oh sorry yeah the mouth i know it's like ASMR is it good whisper out of miss braving whisper at you oh don't actually you get carry on Simon leave it in Sorry, I have to. It's Love Actually and Christmas with the Cranks.

Oh, Love Actually. Love Actually. Good movie. And then my go-to is Christmas with the Cranks. However, on Love Actually, but kind of annoys me. Sure. Everyone's like, oh, he's so romantic. He's not.

Motherfuckers a snake. He's a shit with a sign. That's a snake in the grass bastard. That's mean. That's mean. That's, you do that to your best friend. That's mean. It's not cool.

But the other characters and the other plots of the story. is in that, right? Snait, R.P. Rickman? Yeah. What a legend. Star-studded cap. It is a beautiful

multi-cast. Liam Neeson, incredible. What do they call that? There's, it's like my favorite type of movie where it's like multiple storylines where they all intertwine. Fuck, there's all. Like crash.

Blockbuster. He's right. Yeah, thank you. I think it's called just like clever as fuck. It is, no, there's a, yes, but there is a specific name for it. good. If my brain wasn't riddled with...

No, you're right, there is a name, but... Handed back to 1951. He definitely knows. I would love... I would love 1951 to be Brendan's new nickname.

Dude, this is so fucking stupid. Maybe you change your handle. Dude, like thinking about a fucking like a film studio being like, we just have to have like a cleverest fuck movie. Yeah.

We have to have some necessary. Guys, it's Chris. It's kind of like, it's Chris. You guys will all relate to this. Like, you know when there's that one member of the band who never has anything to contribute ever, but they're like, not that. I just, I want it to be better than that.

Yeah, that's what that's like. Let's make it really good movie. Like, no way. We're going to make a shitty movie. Okay, then. You do it. Sing your riff. Yeah.

Oh, that's the word. Especially if you've been busting. Anthology, though. No. Anthology is different. That's an alien ant farm record. I thought an anthology was when there's like, like, multiple storylines. Sorry, it's a multiple storyline film.

Yeah, I was going to say, an anthology is not a movie, is a series in every episode. It's a different, different shit. God bless. Jesus bless. Multiple storyline film is just a film. All films have. multiple storylines. But I know what you mean there is a fucking...

Like, he's just not that into love actually. What's the other one that's really good? There's a bunch of other ones. Crash. This is a lot. Crash. Crash is one of the greatest movies in all the time. I said it early. And Christopher Nolan, every movie is like multiple storylines. Memento is almost

like that, but backwards. True. Notice how we say films because we're smart. Do you know what? In my country we just say films. And when I say because we go to the cinema, we don't go to the movies. We don't go to the cinema. And everyone's like, oh, cinema.

We're going to go watch Midsummer at the cinema. Yes, I did. And it was excellent. Yes. It was good. Great film. When they jump off the fucking thing. Incredible.

They're sick. And it doesn't quite die and they smash his fucking head. So sick. We should make a movie. This group. What kind of movie? Setting this shit. Connie, relax.

Setting this shit up. This is a famous show. Yesterday I was going through my, I've got a notes thing in my phone of sketches, like sketch comedy. Were you in the cab at that time? No. Wait till you see how long this is this. Every time I think of a funny sketch, I write it down.

That's awesome. In this thing. And I just want you to all know just how much, I'll show the camera as well. Oh, we've got to make one of these. I have so many sketches. People want us to do it. They want to do it. Here's my issue.

Let's collab with Tim Robinson. Here's my issue with it, right? I, by being in elite physical condition with many tattoos, have typecast myself. And a lot of these. I feel the same. Is being sarcastic? Is it because I'm ugly? You don't want to do it because of muggy?

No, no, you'd be fucking perfect. But like, loads of. these fucking these sketches I've written it's like like two cops and shit like that

it's like I can't do it I've got fucking necktats I've got one with a yoga instructor I got fucking I load that involved like the main

the protagonist is a fucking woman I can't I can't do all these so I want to just one day I'm just writing them all down and one day I'll meet like

some funny motherfucker that looks normal that's what I need and just be like I'm gonna film let's do this and I'll just fucking pull you. What would we name for our production studio?

Margaritaville. Two. Yes. Two. Two. Two. T-O-O. Yeah.

Mark Squad. Was it Mark Squad or? It was closed, Brendan. That was close. Sorry? Was it Mark Squad or Mark Crew? Mar-Cru? Sorry.

I mean, I won't go. It's the Margarita talking. I mean, it was. It's Marg-Tock. Mar-T-T-Tock. Let's not talk about the, reasons for the changes in the group chat, but it was

Marguerite. It was Marguerite squad. Yes. And then it was... The ran through four. The ran through four. And then it was I'm sex, I have freak. I have I have freak. I have freak. I have freak. It's still it. Yeah. It is still.

I'm not in this group chat. But there's a new group chat with you in it. Which we haven't named yet. Oh, what are we going to name it? Scrooge, 1951. Zing! That's good. That's good. Somebody get that change right now.

Scrooge, parentheses, you've ruined Christmas for that. You know that. You've ruined Christmas. We are all, even though it is Christmas today, on Christmas, which is today, we are all texting you on Christmas. But I mean, the funny thing is that I will probably watch this on Christmas Day. I'm watching Scrooge 1951. I'm going to make my Nana.

I'm going to hang with my fucking family on Christmas. She's alive. She got reference. I'm going to make for watch it. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you guys need to, you will definitely need to approve it as well. So maybe it might be a pre-Christmas thing because I'm going to leave a hell of a lot in.

Good. We can say right. I've never said anything that I don't. Leave the whole thing in. Fuck it. For my family. Fuck yeah. Let it be known.

I hate my family. I don't want. want to be around them on Christmas. So I want to hang with you guys. That's why Brandon Murphy writes great lyrics. Great. Great. Oh yeah, my ass.

They're good. You are good. Yeah, they're fine. You're kind of like, I was saying this to Emma. I'm like, Rainey. You know? I find it odd. Drop some toothpicks.

I can do the ting. He just has to say ting every five seconds. I mean, it was the thing, it was actually the joke before the word ting. what ting that was worse. I've said, and hanging with you doesn't change this at all. It's odd to me that you,

Emma, and Mike are so smart and write lyrics like that, because then we all hang out and I'm like, no way. These people couldn't... He doesn't last fucking minute. He does his last minute, crad. Of course, of course.

But, like, my... Oh, yeah, I remember you tweeting about it. Every time I go into the studio, I have fucking nothing. I have nothing. I'm like, oh, crap. I have to just make this. But, like,

it's, I don't know, like, the end result is cool, but I'm like, I don't know, like, yeah, like, you know, in a time crunch, I can fucking do the thing. Does anyone like making records here? Yes. I fucking hate it. I hate it. It's terrible. I like what comes out of it. I think.

No, I don't. I fucking hate. No, I like everything except tracking the drums. I love writing the music. I love all of that shit. But it's always, I can't remember what podcast we talked about. It was me and you, I think, talking about Jeff. The way that the fucking, the graphic nature, boys track is drums last.

Yeah. And every other motherfucker like this. Right here. Oh, fuck, I said it. Yes. Damn it. It gets demonetized for hate speech. I said a horrible word.

It's such a good word. At Amani. Amani's up. And it was. It was. can that say that's rough that's fucking rough

oh okay we do it the same way you do it the same way but it's like every other motherfucker like him like oh I don't have the lyrics oh I'm not that prepared and it's like okay we have three days to do the drums the most important sonic part that could not possibly be punched in

a month later you have more studio time, and the pressures are. I think it's because you have to imagine, like, you guys are the most talented people in the band, but we are the most emotionally fragile, delicate, need to be babied at all time, so we don't care. We expect you to be a machine that can come in and do it effortlessly

without us thinking about it. We're like, you don't know what I need. I need time. I need to prepare. I need to be in my zone. I wish I had. Why have I got a podcast? Because they,

doing a podcast and the money that comes don't leave the Patreon you got this fucking early okay it's only a pound thank you so come on the money that comes from just sitting and doing what I do there is obviously fucking hard work

with no physical burden not that you don't have a physical burden but the physical burden of the drums is fucking insane is like, I imagine this. This is about all my fucking friends that are just guitarists and singers feel like. Guitarist only to me,

I love my guitarist. And you are a guitarist? And not really. Wait. There's a guitar in your fucking hand for the whole show. You can play the fiddle. Is it on track?

I lose my voice, I could play guitar. But it's kind of like drums. Like, if I lose my voice, I could play guitar. Playing guitar is the easiest thing I do. It's insane. I'm not good at it, but. Yeah, there's no leg involved. I don't know.

Singing hard, drums, hard. We have it the hardest, all of us. It kind of bums me out. Anyway, yeah, to want to ask you a question. We really need this. My life is really difficult. You're what? My life is really difficult, yeah.

I have a really hard time. No, but I feel like being you, other than the five days before you have to track, when you have to write the lyrics. Like, I would love that. That's why I have a fucking podcast. I don't want to play the drums anymore, guys. I don't want to do it.

It's so much shit. Let's switch. I pay someone else to set them up because I'm like, oh, this is almost fucking awesome. I love playing them, but I hate... Let's swap. Let's swap. Everything about it, yeah.

I hate... You know what? I don't mind the physical element of the playing them either. But I hate... Like, especially in the studio, set up my own shit. I just hate setting it up and I hate packing it. Yeah.

I often look at the drummer and I go, no way. I will never go near. that stuff. I won't help with it. If I had a kid that I wanted to be a drummer, I'll just go, no. Don't, buddy, yeah. Oh, we've got a weird thing with the neighbors.

You can't do that. Here's a guitar. You're gonna make way more. True. He need drummers, though. Drummers are the cool ones, though. Yeah, for sure. Being good at drums is so good. Dude, look at Kyle.

He's the fucking, he's the best. I was gonna say, we have sight, like you, Kyle, Giuseppe. You guys are insane. Like, all of you, it's like, at what cost? We're nothing. I mean, yeah. Fair, fair, but like we're nothing without having you guys do the thing.

So pay us more than you. Okay, okay, easy. We pay Kenny more than us. Shout out Kenny. I wish Kenny was here so much. Me too. I owe you a face mask. Kenny is like, I don't think a lot of people know who he is,

but he's probably the funniest person on. I would gather that most people that are watching this episode knows. A lot of people know that. He's been on the vlog. He deserves that. Everyone, you know, he's been on the vlog. If someone's clicked on those four bands, you're in a band now, apparently. I'm not there in their seventh member.

They know. You mean a bunch of people's, sixth member, seventh member, six people. Six people. Six fucking people. Yeah. It's tough. How are you splitting? Oh, real talk.

How you splitting that money? Everything's great. Everyone's fine. Everyone's happy. Everyone's chilling, yeah. I pay, Amani can attest because she does work for me. We pay quite a lot of money to people to tour with us. Very, very candidly, like.

I'm fucked up, by the way. Sorry, I was saying. Very candidly, Brendan has ruined my life. I was going to say that. Yep. This is Christmas, Brendan wrote my life. I'll do that. It's almost as if I'm a Scrooge.

Stop. It's 1951. I'm going to say, I am very well taken care of, and I'm so thankful I get to do the work that I do because I am taken care of. And I know that if I'm taking care of, everyone that does way more work than I do, or just a different type of work than I do,

is also very well taken care of. So. I am kind of a screws, too. I feel like on that. I'm very Scrooge like 51? Yeah. No, I'm like the McDuck. Nice.

Swimming. I didn't ever think of McDuck. Yeah, yeah. But he didn't have a Christmas theme, though? No, there's got to be a Scrooge Midduck. I mean, there's definitely a Christmas episode, but it's not like he's fucking Santa. No, I think there is literally a

like Christmas carol with Scrooge McDuck as the Scrooge. It would make sense. It's, yeah. The Donald Ducks. I don't fucking know. Yeah, I've seen that one. The Donald Duck. Donald's up Scrooge.

Yeah, it's not a fucking deep cut. Brendan and I are kind of like yin and yang, this might get you in trouble. He hates his fans, I love my fans. I hate our fans, but they're all fucking so dumb. Something I did. I don't think they are, though. No, they're not dumb.

I'm a fan. No, you do a support tour and you hate some fans in the room, but they're not your fans. Sure. Sure. But. Brendan? I went to the tour. You all were on together, and it was awesome. That's what I was just gonna say is,

Your fans are my fans Or, no, my fans are my fans. My fans are your fans. They make me happy When Brandon's Merry Christmas, everybody I don't actually hate our fans. No, he's a softy on the inside.

But some of you guys are fucking dumbest. You don't have to say that part. Some of you guys are dumb as bricks. You just got to figure it out. Just figure it out. It's fine. I'm sorry I made you feel that way, but... Let me get this.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm sorry if some of you felt like I... I'm not apologizing. I'm sorry if I offended you. Yeah. If. Big. Anyway, back on track.

It's Christmas Day. I'm so full from that turkey dinner or Chinese or fucking whatever else. Oh, it was so nice. Catered by the place that you said earlier on. Don't do it again because they should pay because this is going to be right. That's what's up. We are here.

I am the worst. This is, you need to get paid, could she? Monetization is everything. I love monetizing shit. Remember, you saw me send a fucking voice notes app

to Jonah Weinhoffin. I love Jonah. From Monster. From Monster Energy, saying, Motherfuck, give me some mo. He works for Monster Energy.

He's the head, bro. Yeah, he's the guy. Anyway, back on track. Yes. Emma, we're going to start with you. Anyway, my shirt would look better with the Colombian necktie, so it's fine. Great, great song.

Great record. One of the best breakdowns of all time. Unreal. Emma, favorite Christmas song. Really? Okay. Well, damn. I did choir, like, as a kid. Oh, you're going to come up with some fucking

Corpus Christi shit, like, Oh, it's called Harkley-Herald Angels. In my brain. Favorite Christmas song? You guys don't have one off the back? Yes. I don't know. Batman smells.

No, doesn't count. Christmas song, go. Joker. This might get me canceled. Pogues. But the first thing that comes out of my brain is Feliz Navidad. Oh, that's a great song. Is that a Christmas song?

Felice Navida. Yeah, it means Merry Christmas. Does it? I didn't know that. Yes. They say it later. I don't know why that would get me canceled, but it's the first. thing that comes to mind.

It's not like he said, baby, it's cold outside. Wait, I like that song. What language is it? Spanish. I don't know if it won't get you canceled. We need Gabe sat there and we can figure that out. Shout out of Gabriel. Shout out of Gabe the pigeon.

What was the one, um, uh, death cab covered? Oh, I have it. It's on my playlist. You got a Christmas playlist. You got a Christmas playlist. Two. Hold on. What's the, I got sex playlist?

There was. thinner. There's a no doubt cover of a Christmas I can't hear you because Brandon said the word ISIS I think Yeah I did My favorite Christmas video is You all go go same week you're going Oh no never mind there's my mom is very Alt and there's a

I met your mom yeah she showed up She said I'm backpiece because of my tramp stamp Yeah You have a trams dam? Yeah Oh my God, you haven't seen his tramp stand. We need to get back on that. Should I show it? Not right now, but we'll do it.

I can't remember it right now because I've had a lot to drink. But there is a no doubt cover. It's a ska cover of a Christmas song that is on a volume three of some like Christmas cover. It's your favorite, but you can't remember what song it is. I understand. She loves it so much. I grew up on that record, though. Somebody else can go and I can look it up while you all.

Emma, I understand. Yeah. Jeremy, please take this seriously. Favorite Christmas song. What you need. I think I like the one. No doubt Christmas. It's the one where...

Did you pull up the death gap one? It's Christmas, baby, please come home. Oh, that's not it. I like the one that's kind of gothy. How do you guys not have a favorite Christmas song? I can't believe it. Christmas movies, just straight out of the fucking gate. I have one.

Well, there's been a lot of things consumed. Brendan. Wait to the world? Brendan. Wait to the world. That's it. It's all right to the world. I don't believe it's your favorite because it took this. That was a joy to the world.

But yeah, that sucks. Brendan, can you please fucking. It just hit me. Oi to the world. Yeah, that sucks. Brendan, what's your favorite Christmas song? Alone this holiday by the used. You guys have got deep cut.

The Taste of Christmas? Is that the name of the fuck? What? There was the tour. the taste of cast or yeah yeah they did like a thing it was like taste of christmas oh everyone stopped with the cool answers i don't like that yeah i like the ghamani oh you're gonna be like oh it's a fucking afex twin christmas song would listen oh definitely be sick yeah no i like i like christmas baby please come home and i like the death cab for cutie version and this will get me

canceled i used to love baby it's cold outside before i understood what it was about and Still a good sign. I like white Christmas. And I feel bad about it. I'm dreaming of white Christmas. I don't want a lot for Christmas. No, you don't. You guys like fucking square pusher presents Christmas.

You asked which one our favorite one was. We gave you the favorite. I liked all the music. No. You all picked cool ones. If I said please Navidad. Your initial was fine. Okay.

James said actually this song I don't know the name of it. You beat me to it. You were going to say tubular bells? No, I was going to say, my favorite Christmas song is jingle bells. Oh, yeah, jingle bells is good. Honestly, it's good. Jinglebell slaps, if we're honest.

I was in, uh, for God, this is so lame. I was in show choir, which is where you go when something's wrong with you. What's the difference between choir and show choir? It's got infinitely more sequins. I was going to say, in my head. it's like make them laugh. But we did a lot of Christmas medley's during that.

But I think I repressed it because of the sequence. And I like the Pokes song where he drops a Effenheimer actually and that song. You know the one? The fucking...

What? The Pogues and what's the fucking main... The Christmas... Oh, yeah. Now you gotta look it up. You guys are so neat. No, I need the name. I don't want to sing it

because in my head I've only got the line way. He says an Effenheimer. And I'd like to copyright Effenheimer for the F-Bomb now because Pogas, Pogas, you can leave this in

because it's entertaining. Pogues Christmas song. Fairytale in New York. Oh. Ah, yes. Love that number. Do you know, you don't know the song? No.

Wait, so someone else told me this, right? And I thought, why is Amari losing it? Why are you losing it? Because if you... I'm so drunk. Oh, okay, okay. You don't know this song. I can't play that much.

I think I have this on vinyl maybe. Oh, I know this. Yeah. The bells are ringing out for Christmas Day. It's on love, actually, I think. Yes, it is. Of course it is. But someone told me that the US doesn't really fuck with Christmas songs as much as we do.

And this has just proved that. I don't know if that's true. We fucked with Christmas music for retail value. We take over our radio stations for... Oh, yeah. We do that. that as well. But anyway, I like that song. But he does drop her fucking crazy.

He drops the Fembrose. The bad one. Did he mean did he mean cigarette? No, no, because he drops the full fucking thing. The full two-syllable word. Yeah, bad. He dropped both bombs. Like Oppenheimer.

That's the worst thing I've ever said. Oh my God. I'm so glad someone got it immediately. Yeah. There'll be people because it's staying in. I caught residuals. There'll be people at home laughing. People would have got that quick. There'll be bursts throughout the UK on Christmas Day.

There'll be, there are different times that everyone got that joke. Yes. Two syllables, Effenheimer. So you've got a syllable one. No. Could be a cigarette. No.

And then you've got, if you drop the both. No. I'm not dropping it. Is that not like a thing? Like I swear. In the UK, we say that I don't say it. We do say it. We do say it.

If I walk into a fucking pub, it's on the menu. Wait, yeah, no, that's different. That's a food. We also have a food, which has the full both bombs. What is the food consistent? It's like a meatball. Oh, I love meatballs. I'm not saying.

No, we're not saying. But I know what you're saying. Yeah. But also cigarette in the UK. It's also that. Everyone, like, it hasn't gone away. It's not like you can't say that anymore. It's just like, that's how we, uh,

I've never said it because I've always been into like American culture and American music. And I've always been like, you can't say that word. So it's always been weird. But people will still be like, can I get? And you know what's even funnier? I mean, it's not funny. But like, can I steal a cigarette off you? You would say, can I bum a.

Yeah. And bum in the UK is real bad. Yeah. Close to. What? Is it bad in the UK? Like that works. Sorry, I don't know.

The full, both bombs is bad, but the first bomb is just a cigarette. But if you say, like, can I bomb a, in the States, it's going to sound homophobic. That is different in the UK versus America. Hit me. Food? Fanny. Fanny. For us.

It is not that. It means vagina. It means butt to us. Fannie means butt. Which is crazy. Which is crazy because imagine growing up. a multicultural household. You also call underwear pants.

But you know what though? Other than the excretions from either, they're kind of an interchangeable term. Kind of the same thing. It's actually, it's actually interchangeable.

They both have a... God. Put it in my fanny. Yeah. On... Yeah, exactly. Depends on the... Subtitles come up.

British and English. Put it... US keyboard, UK keyboards. This is a rest of development skin. Put it in my fanny, British or English. That's funny. That's funny. I hope everyone at home is having a lovely Christmas.

And if you're just... I hope you're laughing your fanny off, British version. I had a cool C-word tweet about that, but I didn't do it in the end because it was intense. But you know what it's like... C-word, familiar. Yes. C-word familiar. C-word familiar.

C-word derogatory. Yes. And I had a cool... week that had all of them in and I was like, I'm going to go. Good. Yeah. In trouble for that. How can a C word familiar get some C word derogatory from you C words familiar? Interesting. It would have looked great in text.

If you are blind. Send it into the 1951 chat. If you are blinds. If you are, if you are. If you are blind, but for some reason not listening to the audio version and watching. No, let me get this right. If you, if you, I'm following, I'm following. Yeah.

How my brain works in real time. Emma got it, but now I've laughed too much. I'm following. I'm so sorry. No, it's actually if you are deaf and watching captions. You're watching with captions. Then you got the joke. Yes.

And I am sorry. But objectively you were like all of our bands. Yes, yeah, you would. Because you cannot hear them. Oh, okay, I think that's bad. Can I pee?

I have Jeremy's piss being beamed into my ears right now. Craig, this is the high-level Patreon. Are you gonna leave my P sound in the pod? I'm giving... I've got funny. I've directed it of Chris Nolan the shit

You're pissing backwards In a dream Within a dream Is Craig the only one with headphones on? Yep Sorry man Wait, wait Pause

Listen There's his prostate It's healthy There's a prostate Yeah, it's healthy I heard that squirt Oh bro I don't even squirt anymore You know that last squirt

I don't have it I could just hear him wash his hands. Tell me your deepest, darkest secret right now. What, baby? Tell me your deepest darkest secret. I feel like I already have. Mine? Yeah, probably.

I thought I did on this episode. Oh, God. All right. Oh, yeah. All right, my head down. I'm on one right now. And we're back. It's been by far my favorite episode.

I'm looking at porn, so. He really is. I wish I was kidding. He really is looking up. You're a bad influence on me. Can you just pop the word Christmas in there for me? And I just want you to reel off the, just some of the titles that we're getting,

some of the captions. And is this like, what's that game where never have I ever? Like if you've never seen it, you have to raise your hand or whatever? Yeah, and this group of people, hands will be. I've never seen it. Just give me the name. Keep going.

Keep going. No, just say it. Don't read that. Don't read that. Christmas gift for stepson. Stepmom stuck in washing machine. There's so much. There's so much.

Stepmom. That can't be good for society. Stepdaddy's Christmas present from Petit Small Pussy Stepdaughter. Say that one again. Say that one? Go. Which one? The last one you just said.

Christmas gift for X-Miss-sex X-Miss sex X-Mus sex Yeah, that's a nice That was fine Keep going ASMR POV Step-Dady's Christmas present

From Petit Small Pussy Step-Boss That's rough Why? Something is very wrong Wait, wait, guys Step-Sys fucked me During step-family Christmas pictures Why is it always

Step-Six? It's really bad. Steps, it's bad for society that that's so, everyone that he's reeled out has been that. Like, I don't know because I grew up without, I grew up with like

burying magazines in the woods. Wait, yeah, wait, wait, wait. Noddy, Nottie elves. Nottie elves, Molly Little and Lily Laramar say, we lost our magic dot that thought but we have come now that's the title season three episode now let me tell you about when you have to caption a video for to get people engaged that's a bit too fucking

in-depth yes niche i like the way you said niche and not niche anyway but i'm off this now because there's a lot of incest happening it's staying in update porn hub is disappointing sometimes most times for the captions for pornography or just the captions. They're not even actually step siblings. Brendan needs a marriage certificate. Sometimes they're not even related. That's weird.

We don't have to get into that whole thing, but that's weird. I mean, it's so fucking weird. It's very weird. It's very weird. And then the thing is, it's like, it seems to be normalized. So if you're listening to this,

one out of four chances are, That's your thing and I think it's one of those things where it's like it's kind of like X instead Twitter like no one likes it it just happened and we have to keep using it I know it's weird though but I feel like the powers that be on fucking porn hub or whatever could just say okay this isn't allowed now and it would because I like not to get fucking dark or serious because there's never been dark or serious on this whole episode but like there will be kids that grew up and then went on the internet and looked

stuff up and then I developed most of my kinks from shit that I looked at you know when you're younger maybe too but whatever but like that's gonna create some danger like hostile fucking home environment so if that's your shit

it shouldn't be your fucking shit what I wanted to come up was Mrs. Claus that's what I was getting for gets her present yeah exactly thank you thank you so maybe as we're a movie production you said this was

breed bakes cookies. You said this was eggnog. Yeah. You know? Not to get like deep in it, but to what you're saying, like, yeah, I think that really does create some really fucked up mindsets. If that is what is readily available and it's not something you should deep dive for. Yeah.

I said Christmas. Santa's in my chimney. Like. Beautiful. I love that. Get this motherfucker to go. right. Yeah. Yeah.

Produced by Jeremy De Bois. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. But yeah. Like, I think like our generation. How many toys can fit in my bag? You need to stop because Amani's got a nice point. Sorry. You know found talent. Like, our generation, we all grew up

In the Caribbean Sea. Like what, where you got Jamaica? Is that Caribbean? Yeah, maybe somewhere down there. Redid once you go there. Or like. Bring fucking Greece. Coast of Italy.

Where? We might get a Greek on. Anywhere that I get to go. that's not on tour that isn't within a seven hour radius of where I live. That's my hopes for 24. Do you feel it overworked? Is that why you're saying that?

No. I haven't really worked that much. What's your goals for 2024? To... Get our cat to stop biting us in the face every morning. Who? Your cat? He's evil.

Yeah. Career goals for 24 to play in front of, on average, 1,500 people a night Nice For like 90 days Is that a big jump in a year?

What are you at now? Well our headliner is going to be like Probably around 4 to 5 That's fucking cool Well-known, good for you When is the headliner? It's already happened I know, that's what I'm saying

It happened How was it? It was amazing Yeah, career goals Just to be I just want to continue you to crush it. Personal goals, man, I would love to relax. I haven't relaxed in like three months. Yes, Queen. Yeah. I mean six months by this point. Yeah. Yeah. Six months. Okay, so you got,

you got 1500 caps. Mm-hmm. Manifesting. Let's do it. And you got vacation. A vacation? Jeremy. All right? You got more? You got more? You look like you had more. Relax. It's harder than it sounds. Vacation is relaxed. Yeah. She lives stressfully, you know. She cares. It's endearing. Jeremy.

Career goal? Personal goal. Make money, chill. Be awesome. Rock. I don't know. Give me some specifics. You know what?

I was getting out on a podcast and you didn't say it when I was like, you got plaques. You got fucking platinum fucking record. You got a gold? You got a gold? I don't have a gold yet. I'd like to have a gold. Be nice. I don't know.

I don't think. like that what's a gold these days you don't of course you fucking do you got two gold chains on you want a goal i love gold three yeah i love gold let the record show it's three i have three okay so they're going in three chains um what yeah what like to me i felt like for i felt that i felt that i had met every metric i wanted to already like in the pandemic i was like i might just quit i don't need this anymore i've done it at all yeah i mean i mean i mean i mean I mean, it was like, Warped Tour, best days of my life, sold so many records, everything's awesome. But then, unfortunately, and fortunately, for everyone, I got really hungry, and I was like, I want more, I want to go bigger.

And just, for me, like, the biggest thing, this is so lame. You guys are so funny and I'm so lame. But, like, I just like the connection. Like, I'm a very funny guy, as we all know, but, like, I'm a real genuine person that has emotions. and the only place I can express those emotions is on stage, work through trauma, do that kind of stuff. So, like, I like the connection where people in the crowd are connecting with that thing because life is hard, so we should be able to build that together. So I'll talk about all my problems there and then nowhere else.

Yeah, but then that's still not a goal. I need goals. I don't know. She said 1,500. I want, like, 2,500. I don't need to be enough. none though. You said that like, you know, I like the connection. I'm going to be out there. I like it. The more people that connect to it, the more impactful I feel. And I feel like our,

the thing that we all do is important. We laugh it off a lot. Like, it is important. Like, there's a safe space for people to come and feel like seen and included. And like, the more people resonate with that, the happier it makes me feel. Because like, most of my life is kind of joke and that's a one space where I'm like this is like real so the better that is for people also like I'm good and my career is killing it and everything's good I just want to see all my friends succeed like when I see like I see knock loose get bigger than ever I see turn style bigger than ever I see all these bands like coming up like I want to normalize this in a way to where it's like this thing that's brought me so

much happiness. I think there are hundreds of thousands of people across this country that want to resonate with this that don't know it yet. So if they find an access point to it through any of us in our friends, great. I mean, you've combined your personal and your career goals thing, a nice little present for Mrs. Claus. I think I have. I have a new truck by now, so it's Christmas. How is it? Brother? Awesome. It's a Jeep. Yeah. Also, I just want a party and have fun. That's my goal for 24. Party, have fun, vibe. Take my boobies out

Yeah, this is fine. Speaking to it. Career, am I good? Are we good? You sound great. Yeah. Thank you.

Okay, career goal, I want to keep doing what I'm doing, but at a higher scale, so I want to keep touring. And then when I'm not touring, I want to just keep making art for artists. Just want to keep making things that resonate with people and make people feel things. Personal goal. Man, I want to be able to, while I'm home, actually. be home and not freaking out about work stuff. What's coming next.

That's me. I had this conversation six months ago today that was I have conflicting value. Literally today. Literally today. Conflicting values, which is I love being a homemaker and I love being a career person. And I want to be able to do both. And I'm really excited to see what that looks like in 2024. That's cute.

That's cute. I suppose I think I suppose I got to give money. Craig? Yeah. Career goal. I want that. You've all said at your bands. I don't give a fuck.

I want that fucking YouTube play button. Let's get it, baby. As of today, I will hit 50K on YouTube. You need 100K. We're going to get roughly. I get two and a half. Currently, I get about 2.5K per month. So by those,

It would take me 20 months, but I would like it to have happened next year so I can have a vanity plaque behind me because I wasn't alive in the time of, or I was alive, but I wasn't making music in the time of CDs when you could get like a billboard and have a thing. I've got nothing. I've got no trinkets other than these lovely trinkets from dysplate.com, for slash the downbeat. I would like, I feel like that's career-wise.
