00:00:43,700 –> 00:00:45,500
I was yeah.
We and the week before that

9
00:00:45,500 –> 00:00:46,900
since we’re recording these out
of order.

10
00:00:46,900 –> 00:00:49,000
Yeah, we did a pizza Gate
Episode.

11
00:00:49,100 –> 00:00:51,500
Yeah, that was a, that was a fun
one, man.

12
00:00:51,500 –> 00:00:53,700
Laura knew a lot about pizza
gate, she really.

13
00:00:53,700 –> 00:00:57,400
Did I feel Like she came in a
Believer and left a skeptic so

14
00:00:57,400 –> 00:00:59,200
that means we did our job.
Yeah.

15
00:00:59,200 –> 00:01:00,800
Day.
But she really was like when you

16
00:01:00,800 –> 00:01:03,000
see someone show up to class
with like all the little like

17
00:01:03,000 –> 00:01:06,100
page markers and she had asking
the professor questions, you

18
00:01:06,107 –> 00:01:08,400
like, well, I that was not
taking this as seriously as, you

19
00:01:08,400 –> 00:01:09,800
know, you’ve really done your
pizza gate.

20
00:01:09,800 –> 00:01:12,300
Legwork.
Yeah, I did a podcast live

21
00:01:12,300 –> 00:01:15,500
podcast with Tom gasps once at
The Improv.

22
00:01:15,500 –> 00:01:16,900
Oh, yeah.
You told me about that it was

23
00:01:16,900 –> 00:01:19,900
like, a conspiracy theory thing.
And I was really showing out

24
00:01:19,900 –> 00:01:22,800
because they were like
professors who were Russian

25
00:01:22,800 –> 00:01:25,500
experts and shit.
I was like, let’s talk about the

26
00:01:25,500 –> 00:01:27,400
apartment bombings.
Hey Stuart, Thompson’s here,

27
00:01:27,400 –> 00:01:29,400
also.
Hey good to be here.

28
00:01:29,400 –> 00:01:32,400
Hi, how’s it going?
I’m just peachy, man.

29
00:01:32,400 –> 00:01:36,500
I’m ready to talk about things
that people get paranoid about.

30
00:01:36,500 –> 00:01:40,500
So it’s it’s what we do here is
we’re going to do a whole hour

31
00:01:40,500 –> 00:01:44,900
on, is there something in your
teeth and you know what there

32
00:01:44,900 –> 00:01:47,200
always is.
So I get why people would be,

33
00:01:47,800 –> 00:01:49,800
what am I told you?
But those spinach bars.

34
00:01:49,800 –> 00:01:52,800
I mean, they’re sure they’re low
carb but health and cost is

35
00:01:52,800 –> 00:01:54,800
healthy worth it.
That’s question.

36
00:01:54,900 –> 00:01:58,900
Yeah, so we’re actually talking
about the war on Christmas.

37
00:01:59,000 –> 00:02:00,900
You guys get your draft letters.
I got mine.

38
00:02:01,900 –> 00:02:04,000
I’m going, Insanity.
I’m just going to go in there,

39
00:02:04,100 –> 00:02:05,600
just right?
Yeah, I’m gonna try and do an

40
00:02:05,600 –> 00:02:07,800
OCS program.
See if I can be like an officer

41
00:02:07,800 –> 00:02:10,199
in the war on Christmas.
Now, I’m just going to see if I

42
00:02:10,199 –> 00:02:11,900
can do podcasts.
I’m gonna go, I’m gonna go in

43
00:02:11,900 –> 00:02:14,100
there seeing Dreidel Dreidel,
but I’m changing it to the

44
00:02:14,100 –> 00:02:18,500
n-word 5150.
Sure thing, I won’t be proud of

45
00:02:18,500 –> 00:02:20,700
it, but I’ll get out of there.
You know, I feel like if you

46
00:02:20,700 –> 00:02:23,300
change it to the N word, they
might recruit you faster.

47
00:02:23,300 –> 00:02:25,800
That’s true.
To probably a different more

48
00:02:25,800 –> 00:02:28,800
problematic War Tucker
Carlson’s.

49
00:02:28,800 –> 00:02:31,900
Like he’s perfect.
He is all over, man.

50
00:02:32,900 –> 00:02:36,200
That’s a good time, Carlos.
We have waited years for him.

51
00:02:37,000 –> 00:02:39,800
The prophecy has been fulfilled.
I’ve been watching too much man

52
00:02:39,800 –> 00:02:42,200
in the High Castle, so I guess.
Yeah.

53
00:02:42,300 –> 00:02:44,200
Is it good?
I tried to watch the first

54
00:02:44,200 –> 00:02:46,800
season and I was bored as shit.
I’m like, this is the coolest

55
00:02:46,800 –> 00:02:50,000
idea for a TV show and you guys
managed to make me not give a

56
00:02:50,000 –> 00:02:52,200
half a fuck about it.
Yeah, you just you can’t be on

57
00:02:52,200 –> 00:02:53,700
your phone when you watch it,
you know.

58
00:02:54,300 –> 00:02:55,400
Much.
You got to pay attention because

59
00:02:55,400 –> 00:02:56,800
it’s a lot of it’s about the
imagery.

60
00:02:56,800 –> 00:02:58,700
It’s not about like the the
writing.

61
00:02:59,000 –> 00:03:01,100
Yeah.
You got a good show just like, I

62
00:03:01,108 –> 00:03:03,500
feel like I was watching it
pretty close and even then I was

63
00:03:03,500 –> 00:03:06,200
kind of I was like I was more
interested in like I like the

64
00:03:06,200 –> 00:03:08,600
set design or like you know, all
that shit more.

65
00:03:08,600 –> 00:03:10,800
The does look neat.
If you’re into Mad Men and

66
00:03:10,800 –> 00:03:14,400
doomsday prepping, the castle is
for you.

67
00:03:14,400 –> 00:03:18,000
Yeah, I mean I’m in the one of
those things are bad so my Jon

68
00:03:18,000 –> 00:03:20,000
Hamm story on the show.
No, you have not.

69
00:03:20,100 –> 00:03:21,600
Okay.
Well so we did roast Battle

70
00:03:21,600 –> 00:03:24,100
season 2.
He was there and key.

71
00:03:24,300 –> 00:03:26,700
And I we got say we’re talking
to Patton, Oswalt, little bit.

72
00:03:26,700 –> 00:03:29,500
We’re big fans and he was like,
very nice and he’d like the

73
00:03:29,500 –> 00:03:31,400
recognized, watch the show.
So heinous, we talk to him.

74
00:03:31,400 –> 00:03:33,100
He’s very sweet.
And we’re like so excited.

75
00:03:33,200 –> 00:03:35,800
We had he’s very, he’s really
cool guy and we go upstairs

76
00:03:35,800 –> 00:03:37,100
working like, well, how cool is
that?

77
00:03:37,100 –> 00:03:38,300
We’re like, yeah, this really
neat.

78
00:03:38,400 –> 00:03:40,900
And then there’s we hear this
voice from the corner of the

79
00:03:40,900 –> 00:03:43,800
this dark room sitting at a
leather chair in a suit.

80
00:03:43,800 –> 00:03:44,800
Drinking whiskey.
Just go.

81
00:03:44,800 –> 00:03:48,100
What are you guys?
So excited about and then Keith

82
00:03:48,100 –> 00:03:50,100
goes, oh, we just met Patton.
Oswald news.

83
00:03:50,100 –> 00:03:51,200
Really nice.
You know, we’re big fans.

84
00:03:51,200 –> 00:03:53,700
You’re like, holy shit.
You’re Jon Hamm and that Jon

85
00:03:53,700 –> 00:03:55,700
Hamm goes.
It’s you guys were that excited

86
00:03:55,700 –> 00:04:00,900
to meet Patton Oswalt.
And then I said and I just told

87
00:04:00,900 –> 00:04:04,400
him, I was more of a Breaking
Bad Guy and he got mad and it’s

88
00:04:04,400 –> 00:04:07,400
not much of a story but that’s
sounds like Jon Hamm was being a

89
00:04:07,400 –> 00:04:09,200
dick.
I guess, kind of.

90
00:04:09,200 –> 00:04:12,400
Yeah, but I mean I also just
I’ve never seen anything he’s in

91
00:04:12,400 –> 00:04:15,800
so I had no impulse to try to
impress him or be nice to him.

92
00:04:15,800 –> 00:04:18,100
So seems like such a likeable
guy on screen.

93
00:04:18,200 –> 00:04:20,100
Yeah.
Yeah, he was kind of it was he

94
00:04:20,100 –> 00:04:23,900
was just like torn from the
fucking Tableau of met like he

95
00:04:23,900 –> 00:04:27,400
was Drinking alone in a suit,
like could not have been more on

96
00:04:27,400 –> 00:04:30,100
Brands and I was like, well they
here’s the deal.

97
00:04:30,100 –> 00:04:32,000
I don’t give a shit if I’m ever
friends with Jon Hamm.

98
00:04:32,000 –> 00:04:33,600
That’s enough.
Not going to happen anyway.

99
00:04:33,600 –> 00:04:35,900
So let’s see how he reacts to
someone just being a

100
00:04:35,907 –> 00:04:39,000
garden-variety cunt to him
because he probably doesn’t get

101
00:04:39,000 –> 00:04:40,900
that very often, the content
hanger.

102
00:04:41,600 –> 00:04:42,900
We haven’t deployed it in a
while.

103
00:04:42,900 –> 00:04:46,000
Yeah, I do.
Yeah, we do absolutely have one.

104
00:04:46,100 –> 00:04:49,600
It is a tradition here.
So let’s talk about the war on

105
00:04:49,600 –> 00:04:53,000
Christmas.
If anyone wants to go read a

106
00:04:53,000 –> 00:04:56,500
very definitive Of article about
the war on Christmas, you can

107
00:04:56,500 –> 00:05:00,100
find one on Snopes of all places
which I trust them about half

108
00:05:00,100 –> 00:05:04,300
the time but I trust him for a
political things like yeah.

109
00:05:04,300 –> 00:05:06,700
Did this guy actually get
beheaded when he jumped off the

110
00:05:06,700 –> 00:05:08,600
roof and hit this fence?
Like I think I can get to the

111
00:05:08,608 –> 00:05:11,700
bottom of that Rice anything,
whether it is any kind of agenda

112
00:05:11,700 –> 00:05:14,700
behind it, a more more like when
it’s what’s going on here?

113
00:05:14,800 –> 00:05:17,600
Yeah, for sure.
And that this article, it’s

114
00:05:17,600 –> 00:05:20,800
called a history of the war on
Christmas appropriately Enough

115
00:05:20,800 –> 00:05:24,100
by David Emery and the love of
his board.

116
00:05:26,500 –> 00:05:29,500
Yeah, the war on Christmas is a
thing again because the Trump

117
00:05:29,600 –> 00:05:32,000
trump has just kind of read
reignited.

118
00:05:32,000 –> 00:05:34,900
The war on Christmas dialogue.
Brought it roaring back.

119
00:05:35,000 –> 00:05:36,900
That’s what you saying during
the campaign he was, he was

120
00:05:36,900 –> 00:05:38,400
really big on saying, we’re
going to bring back.

121
00:05:38,400 –> 00:05:40,400
Merry Christmas.
Yeah, because remember, when we

122
00:05:40,400 –> 00:05:42,700
were all banned from saying
Merry Christmas in the United

123
00:05:42,700 –> 00:05:45,800
States, I did I did see a good
fucking local car dealership

124
00:05:45,800 –> 00:05:47,900
commercial.
I was out in Oklahoma with Tom

125
00:05:48,100 –> 00:05:50,800
and we’re watching that like
free bunny, the new bunny ears

126
00:05:50,800 –> 00:05:54,100
TV where it’s like the grit
channel nine hours of cowboy.

127
00:05:54,200 –> 00:05:57,900
Boys and then, 10 hours of
cowboys everyday Cowboy.

128
00:05:58,000 –> 00:06:00,500
So it was like one of those who
are watching it just while we

129
00:06:00,500 –> 00:06:03,000
were watching, like old Johnny
Carson Tonight Show server

130
00:06:03,000 –> 00:06:04,700
running.
And the one of the commercials

131
00:06:04,700 –> 00:06:08,000
was like, well Jefferson
forward, here in at Osaka Houma,

132
00:06:08,000 –> 00:06:10,500
we got the best selection of new
and used Ford.

133
00:06:10,500 –> 00:06:13,200
And we offer easy financing for
the holidays.

134
00:06:13,400 –> 00:06:16,800
Come on, down to Jefferson Ford.
Jefferson Ford keep Christ in

135
00:06:16,800 –> 00:06:19,300
Christmas.
Oh shit.

136
00:06:19,900 –> 00:06:23,200
It was just a normal room at
from Downtown.

137
00:06:23,200 –> 00:06:26,100
Yeah, just a Bad local
commercial at the very end.

138
00:06:26,100 –> 00:06:30,700
It’s just like the fucking Bush
did 9/11 like yeah.

139
00:06:30,700 –> 00:06:33,300
It sounds like with him saying
holidays, at the end.

140
00:06:33,300 –> 00:06:36,300
Someone like in post caught that
was like, no.

141
00:06:36,400 –> 00:06:38,700
No, say Christmas.
Yeah, yeah.

142
00:06:38,700 –> 00:06:41,200
Couldn’t they have just reshot
it and that wasn’t even.

143
00:06:41,200 –> 00:06:44,000
I mean, it was like, vo didn’t
like they paid a guy with a deep

144
00:06:44,000 –> 00:06:46,700
voice, thousands of miles away
to say, keep Christ in

145
00:06:46,700 –> 00:06:49,700
Christmas, then I would
absolutely take that check.

146
00:06:49,700 –> 00:06:51,500
No one’s looking up, the
credits, no one’s going on

147
00:06:51,500 –> 00:06:54,700
fucking scene, it.com or
whatever to make sure That I was

148
00:06:54,700 –> 00:06:56,500
the guy saying, keep Christ in
Christmas.

149
00:06:56,500 –> 00:06:59,000
Yeah, I was hoarse, I would love
to see what other vo jobs, he

150
00:06:59,000 –> 00:07:01,300
gets like, is like must be
eating old world.

151
00:07:01,300 –> 00:07:02,900
Look to call the Jews, have all
the money.

152
00:07:02,900 –> 00:07:03,400
Good.
Yeah.

153
00:07:04,900 –> 00:07:06,900
If you look at the ratio they
have 80 percent of the world’s

154
00:07:06,900 –> 00:07:10,100
wealth, that doesn’t seem like a
coincidence to me especially

155
00:07:10,100 –> 00:07:11,700
since we almost fix this
problem.

156
00:07:11,700 –> 00:07:14,200
There’s not very many of them.
Yeah.

157
00:07:14,200 –> 00:07:17,700
This is this the war on
Christmas as we know it right

158
00:07:17,700 –> 00:07:21,400
now.
Started around 2004 lots of

159
00:07:21,407 –> 00:07:24,100
lives lost.
Yeah so far, yeah.

160
00:07:24,300 –> 00:07:28,200
He fallen soldiers, and it.
But I went to the fucking Black

161
00:07:28,200 –> 00:07:30,300
Friday Walmart and Ontario with
my buddies.

162
00:07:30,300 –> 00:07:32,300
Jesus, man.
That’s the kind of place where

163
00:07:32,300 –> 00:07:36,500
people die to Walmart.
That, that is exactly Ontario.

164
00:07:36,500 –> 00:07:38,500
California.
Walmart, Black Friday that is

165
00:07:38,500 –> 00:07:41,100
where the trampolines go down,
and I was just like, man,

166
00:07:41,100 –> 00:07:43,200
there’s going to be, there’s
going to be a bloody one because

167
00:07:43,300 –> 00:07:45,400
I went through, you get a
footprint on your shirt.

168
00:07:45,400 –> 00:07:47,800
Oh, for sure.
Yeah, I went to Amoeba Music on

169
00:07:47,800 –> 00:07:50,600
Black Friday and it was just it
was record store day, but there

170
00:07:50,600 –> 00:07:52,900
was no one there, oh shoot
because that’s going to be all

171
00:07:52,900 –> 00:07:56,400
like comics and Musicians and
shit who are out of town

172
00:07:56,400 –> 00:07:59,000
visiting a family.
Yeah, during Thanksgiving, it’s

173
00:07:59,000 –> 00:08:01,600
fucking great.
But yeah, I was going to read.

174
00:08:01,600 –> 00:08:05,300
This is such a fucking long
quote, so I’m not going to read

175
00:08:05,300 –> 00:08:10,300
that shit.
But Bill O’Reilly in 2004 on an

176
00:08:10,300 –> 00:08:15,700
episode of his show called for a
boycott of Federated Department

177
00:08:15,700 –> 00:08:20,600
Stores and a bunch of different
Outlets because they were

178
00:08:20,700 –> 00:08:22,900
instructing employees to say,
happy holidays.

179
00:08:23,100 –> 00:08:25,900
Instead of merry Yeah.
I mean it’s like these are

180
00:08:25,900 –> 00:08:27,200
businesses.
They want.

181
00:08:27,200 –> 00:08:29,000
They want everyone’s money,
right?

182
00:08:29,000 –> 00:08:30,900
It’s in their best interest to
say happy holidays.

183
00:08:31,000 –> 00:08:33,799
Yeah.
He’s like if you like you if you

184
00:08:33,799 –> 00:08:36,200
offend a bunch it like if you’re
one of those people who believes

185
00:08:36,200 –> 00:08:39,400
in like you, you know, let’s put
the Christ back in Christmas.

186
00:08:39,600 –> 00:08:44,300
Maybe you don’t feel great about
Jewish people but your you

187
00:08:44,300 –> 00:08:47,500
probably might also be a
capitalist who loves runny.

188
00:08:47,700 –> 00:08:48,800
Yeah.
Maybe you would want those

189
00:08:48,800 –> 00:08:50,800
Jewish people’s money or good
enough.

190
00:08:50,800 –> 00:08:54,000
The fucking like could
corporations have no agenda.

191
00:08:54,200 –> 00:08:56,700
Aside from get bigger.
Like that’s the only thing they

192
00:08:56,700 –> 00:08:59,900
know how to do so.
Yeah and that point I don’t give

193
00:08:59,900 –> 00:09:01,300
a fuck if you’re Muslim.
They give a fuck.

194
00:09:01,300 –> 00:09:02,600
You have money.
Exactly.

195
00:09:02,600 –> 00:09:04,700
That’s what it like this.
Yeah, they’ll say happy

196
00:09:04,700 –> 00:09:06,800
holidays, but they’re not going
to let homeless people shit in

197
00:09:06,800 –> 00:09:10,800
the bathroom like yeah and
that’s one of the when you

198
00:09:10,800 –> 00:09:15,200
really go way back to where this
started one unsurprisingly

199
00:09:15,200 –> 00:09:20,000
enough kind of anti-Semitic and
by kind I mean overtly very much

200
00:09:20,000 –> 00:09:24,000
anti-semitic are the roots of
the war on Christmas but also

201
00:09:24,200 –> 00:09:27,400
That point comes up where
they’re arguing that o stores

202
00:09:27,400 –> 00:09:29,700
are trying to kill Christmas.
It’s like stores aren’t going to

203
00:09:29,708 –> 00:09:32,000
kill Christmas that’s when they
make all their money.

204
00:09:32,000 –> 00:09:33,600
Yeah.
Like who in the fuck?

205
00:09:33,600 –> 00:09:36,300
Would think that?
Would be a valid talking point?

206
00:09:36,300 –> 00:09:37,800
The answer is Henry Ford.
Yeah.

207
00:09:37,800 –> 00:09:41,400
That’s that’s like Samuel
Jackson the fucking 911 during

208
00:09:41,400 –> 00:09:44,100
the Capital One headquarters.
What do you do?

209
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:45,600
What are you talking about?
Yeah, I know.

210
00:09:45,600 –> 00:09:47,300
What your Butters your bread is
buttered man.

211
00:09:47,300 –> 00:09:50,200
Yeah this is a quote from Henry
Ford.

212
00:09:50,200 –> 00:09:52,400
Who is everyone know?
He was a huge anti-semite.

213
00:09:52,400 –> 00:09:54,200
Yeah, I didn’t know that
actually Yeah.

214
00:09:54,400 –> 00:09:57,400
Yeah, he was this I did a
project on him in middle school

215
00:09:57,400 –> 00:10:01,000
and then the books I read
neglected to mention the

216
00:10:01,000 –> 00:10:03,900
anti-Semitism and someone
someone sort of truth, that to

217
00:10:03,900 –> 00:10:07,400
me I’ve got like a year or two
later is like, oh man.

218
00:10:07,500 –> 00:10:09,800
Yeah, it’s really scrubbed from
his story.

219
00:10:09,900 –> 00:10:14,300
And he wasn’t like, just sort of
an anti-semite heroic about it.

220
00:10:14,400 –> 00:10:19,400
He wrote a series of pamphlets
called well now I feel a lot

221
00:10:19,400 –> 00:10:22,800
better about Calvin peeing on
his logos, I feel like he

222
00:10:22,800 –> 00:10:25,100
deserves it.
He wrote us, He’s a pamphlets

223
00:10:25,100 –> 00:10:27,400
under the title, The
International Jew.

224
00:10:27,400 –> 00:10:31,200
The world’s foremost prop.
I’m picturing a really Jewish

225
00:10:31,200 –> 00:10:34,200
guy in the Austin Powers.
Get up just the international

226
00:10:34,200 –> 00:10:36,500
Jew.
Equally Harry.

227
00:10:36,600 –> 00:10:40,800
Yeah, that’s just Ari shaffir in
a fucking velvet jumpsuit.

228
00:10:41,500 –> 00:10:45,400
And this is a quote from Henry
Ford in 1921 last Christmas.

229
00:10:46,400 –> 00:10:49,400
Christmas last Christmas, most
people have a hard time finding

230
00:10:49,400 –> 00:10:51,800
Christmas cards that indicated.
Any way that Christmas

231
00:10:51,800 –> 00:10:55,400
commemorated someone’s birth.
That’s how everyone talked in

232
00:10:55,400 –> 00:10:58,000
the 20s.
Yeah, someone’s birth.

233
00:10:58,500 –> 00:11:01,300
Somebody was born that day.
Is be very passive.

234
00:11:01,300 –> 00:11:03,300
Aggressive about it was hurting
someone.

235
00:11:03,300 –> 00:11:05,300
Maybe you’ve heard of him.
Jesus Christ.

236
00:11:05,300 –> 00:11:07,100
Yeah.
Except he also capitalized.

237
00:11:07,100 –> 00:11:10,900
Someone’s birth.
Yeah, even the someone’s, yeah,

238
00:11:11,000 –> 00:11:13,700
my my bed with my family on
Christmas is, I don’t get them

239
00:11:13,700 –> 00:11:16,600
an actual Chris, I get them,
some other card like this last

240
00:11:16,600 –> 00:11:18,600
year, I was pretty proud of.
It was a happy birthday card but

241
00:11:18,600 –> 00:11:22,600
I just rolled in Sharpie Jesus
under it make a Christmas card

242
00:11:22,700 –> 00:11:27,500
was fun.
This is another quote from Henry

243
00:11:27,500 –> 00:11:30,100
Ford.
Because in these pamphlets, he

244
00:11:30,100 –> 00:11:32,600
accused Jews of a whole bunch of
stuff.

245
00:11:33,300 –> 00:11:35,900
This is him talking about
Christmas in particular.

246
00:11:36,200 –> 00:11:39,300
Not only did the Jews disagree
with Christian teaching, which

247
00:11:39,300 –> 00:11:42,300
is their perfect, right?
And no one dare question it, but

248
00:11:42,300 –> 00:11:45,600
they seek to interfere with it.
It is not religious tolerance in

249
00:11:45,600 –> 00:11:48,600
the midst of religious
difference, but religious attack

250
00:11:48,600 –> 00:11:51,400
that they preach and practice,
the whole record of Jewish

251
00:11:51,400 –> 00:11:55,200
opposition to Christmas Easter
and certain Patriotic songs

252
00:11:55,400 –> 00:12:00,000
shows that and he also accused
Jewish store owners Jewish

253
00:12:00,000 –> 00:12:02,500
department store.
Owners of profiteering off

254
00:12:02,500 –> 00:12:05,600
Christmas, while also trying to
destroy it.

255
00:12:05,700 –> 00:12:07,100
Well, I like that.
Makes no sense.

256
00:12:07,100 –> 00:12:08,700
Why would use have an issue with
Easter?

257
00:12:08,700 –> 00:12:11,300
If you look at the graphs, they
clearly own 90% of the world’s

258
00:12:11,300 –> 00:12:12,900
check.
Instead of clearing the fucking

259
00:12:12,900 –> 00:12:16,900
there, cleaning cleaning house
on every Easter and if you come

260
00:12:16,900 –> 00:12:20,100
in my garage and have a Michelob
Ultra with me, I’ll yell at you

261
00:12:20,100 –> 00:12:24,900
and give you all the details.
Yeah, they this is so this is

262
00:12:24,900 –> 00:12:28,500
him making that trying to make
that point that department store

263
00:12:28,500 –> 00:12:31,600
owners want to kill Christmas
which no to put regardless

264
00:12:31,600 –> 00:12:35,100
Lillian found it ethnicity race
whatever.

265
00:12:35,300 –> 00:12:37,600
No department store owner wants
to kill Christmas.

266
00:12:37,600 –> 00:12:39,900
I what do you say?
We go down to the shack and kill

267
00:12:39,900 –> 00:12:42,900
the Golden Goose and that sound
like a good plan like that as

268
00:12:42,900 –> 00:12:49,800
well die.
Like I think Walmart makes most

269
00:12:49,800 –> 00:12:53,500
of their money on Black Friday.
And during Christmas.

270
00:12:53,600 –> 00:12:55,100
Oh yeah.
It’s like I would like, I know

271
00:12:55,100 –> 00:12:57,300
comedy promoters who are like,
yeah, you know, I do.

272
00:12:57,300 –> 00:12:59,400
All right, for most of the year,
but one New Year’s even

273
00:12:59,400 –> 00:13:01,800
Valentine’s Day.
I make 10 grand, you know, like

274
00:13:01,800 –> 00:13:03,300
it’s just their seasons for this
shit.

275
00:13:03,400 –> 00:13:04,700
Yeah.
Yeah, you got it.

276
00:13:04,700 –> 00:13:07,600
You gotta know when the money’s
coming in and if the money’s

277
00:13:07,600 –> 00:13:10,700
coming in at this time, you get,
you know, you can sell all the

278
00:13:10,708 –> 00:13:11,900
kind of stuff you want for
Christmas.

279
00:13:11,900 –> 00:13:14,400
Just maybe don’t want to put a
nativity scene in the middle of

280
00:13:14,400 –> 00:13:17,200
your, you Breezeway, right?
Well, yeah, here’s the thing.

281
00:13:17,600 –> 00:13:20,500
Breeze was your stupid.
First of all and nativity scenes

282
00:13:20,500 –> 00:13:22,900
are ugly, I thought I find the
Typically a try.

283
00:13:22,900 –> 00:13:24,100
I’m just like I don’t want to
fight.

284
00:13:24,100 –> 00:13:27,300
Who gives a shit about this fake
ass farm that you guys made up

285
00:13:27,300 –> 00:13:31,600
anyway like which it’s stupid.
Well, it’s also, you know, it’s

286
00:13:31,600 –> 00:13:35,100
also historically been proven to
be relatively inaccurate, you

287
00:13:35,108 –> 00:13:38,100
know, it’s just like you it’s a
story that’s been changed and

288
00:13:38,100 –> 00:13:41,600
translated and discussed and
sort of ruled by committee that

289
00:13:41,600 –> 00:13:43,600
this is what it is.
Yeah.

290
00:13:43,600 –> 00:13:48,200
Because our minds are not able
to accurately understand how

291
00:13:48,200 –> 00:13:51,100
people were truly living because
history doesn’t come with

292
00:13:51,100 –> 00:13:53,300
smells.
Among right things.

293
00:13:53,700 –> 00:13:57,800
We don’t know how somehow this
alleged Jesus was born.

294
00:13:57,800 –> 00:14:01,600
Well, I like the secularization
of the holiday shit.

295
00:14:01,600 –> 00:14:04,000
Even if it is for a crass
commercial interest because it’s

296
00:14:04,000 –> 00:14:07,000
like all the fucking religious
holiday imagery.

297
00:14:07,000 –> 00:14:09,800
Just reminds me that I’m do, you
know, roommates in this country

298
00:14:09,800 –> 00:14:13,200
with 280 million dumb shits that
get their morals from the Bronze

299
00:14:13,200 –> 00:14:16,500
Age and I just, just irritates
me like, with all the fucking

300
00:14:16,600 –> 00:14:20,100
Noel and yada yada.
Just on and out stupid, the Noel

301
00:14:20,100 –> 00:14:21,400
and yada yada.
Yeah.

302
00:14:22,500 –> 00:14:25,200
Another pamphlet brought to you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

303
00:14:25,200 –> 00:14:26,500
No.
That’s if you’re making your own

304
00:14:26,500 –> 00:14:28,400
pamphlets, you’re definitely
racist.

305
00:14:28,500 –> 00:14:29,700
Oh yeah.
I think we can agree.

306
00:14:29,700 –> 00:14:32,400
You know, that’s the pamphlets
are really just ziens for guys

307
00:14:32,400 –> 00:14:35,800
that want to kill black guys.
Yeah, absolutely.

308
00:14:35,900 –> 00:14:38,600
Yeah.
And so that’s kind of where this

309
00:14:38,600 –> 00:14:44,200
all starts is with Henry Ford,
which not surprising that.

310
00:14:44,200 –> 00:14:47,500
It comes out of some anti-jew,
he got that hatred right off the

311
00:14:47,500 –> 00:14:50,900
assembly line or yeah, into the
public eye.

312
00:14:51,100 –> 00:14:55,600
And so, It started there and I
suppose it just kind of festered

313
00:14:55,700 –> 00:14:58,100
for a few decades.
People didn’t think about it

314
00:14:58,100 –> 00:15:03,500
much and then in the 1950s being
religious in this country really

315
00:15:03,500 –> 00:15:06,600
fucking took off, which I guess.
I don’t know.

316
00:15:06,600 –> 00:15:10,900
Maybe people converted during
World War Two like maybe.

317
00:15:10,900 –> 00:15:12,500
We’re all going to die.
We better get, right?

318
00:15:12,500 –> 00:15:14,100
Yeah.
With the Lord one think everyone

319
00:15:14,100 –> 00:15:17,700
kind of had a lot of like night
then the 1950s you know the

320
00:15:17,700 –> 00:15:20,900
Korean War aside was sort of a
second Era of Good Feelings.

321
00:15:21,200 –> 00:15:23,600
Wherever one righteous kind Of
like, well, yeah, we’re doing

322
00:15:23,600 –> 00:15:26,800
like there’s a lot of like, you
know, nice American sentiment.

323
00:15:26,800 –> 00:15:29,300
The economy was doing well, we
had all these new highways and

324
00:15:29,300 –> 00:15:31,200
job.
Yeah, people had families after

325
00:15:31,200 –> 00:15:33,500
the war so it’s like, yeah,
that’s the kind of fucking

326
00:15:33,500 –> 00:15:35,500
people that are going to go be
religious, right?

327
00:15:35,500 –> 00:15:37,800
Kind of tax to me just as a
natural phenomenon.

328
00:15:37,900 –> 00:15:39,200
Yeah.
And if you had gone through,

329
00:15:39,200 –> 00:15:41,900
such a harrowing harrowing War,
whether it was in Europe, or in

330
00:15:41,900 –> 00:15:45,400
the Pacific, and you got out of
there, you’d be like, yeah, I’ll

331
00:15:45,500 –> 00:15:47,500
I’ll thank someone.
Well, yeah, and you’re right and

332
00:15:47,500 –> 00:15:50,300
you go on to your like, you
know, Union, eight hours a day,

333
00:15:50,300 –> 00:15:52,100
pay for my entire family, and
they’re called.

334
00:15:52,300 –> 00:15:55,300
Factory job where I just press a
button and make a shitty, you

335
00:15:55,300 –> 00:15:57,000
know toothpaste, the can.
Yeah.

336
00:15:57,200 –> 00:15:59,700
And then you did you, I would
kiss the fucking ground every

337
00:15:59,700 –> 00:16:02,500
morning to be a white guy that
just like fine World War Two in

338
00:16:02,500 –> 00:16:05,900
the 50s and didn’t die.
Yeah sure I’ve got night terrors

339
00:16:05,900 –> 00:16:09,200
but oh my God have you pay this
mortgage off in like 12 years?

340
00:16:09,400 –> 00:16:10,200
Yeah.
Yeah.

341
00:16:10,300 –> 00:16:14,100
That when people want to go back
to simpler times that’s the only

342
00:16:14,100 –> 00:16:16,300
part I really want.
We’re just having a normal.

343
00:16:16,300 –> 00:16:19,200
Last job was enough to set you
up for Life.

344
00:16:19,300 –> 00:16:20,100
Yeah.
Yeah.

345
00:16:20,100 –> 00:16:23,000
Just a regular job was enough to
live on well There’s no good

346
00:16:23,000 –> 00:16:25,300
jobs left.
Any more like the big pipe dream

347
00:16:25,300 –> 00:16:28,500
from from where I’m from is
like, oh I’m gonna get guy.

348
00:16:28,500 –> 00:16:31,300
Just I work at the UPS center
and you work your way up from

349
00:16:31,300 –> 00:16:33,100
Factory line guy to delivery
guy.

350
00:16:33,100 –> 00:16:35,400
Tell, you know you got an office
job and they got a really great

351
00:16:35,400 –> 00:16:36,600
program.
There’s officers all over the

352
00:16:36,600 –> 00:16:37,900
country can live wherever you
want.

353
00:16:37,900 –> 00:16:40,300
And like I’m like, that’s not,
they still make you dress like

354
00:16:40,300 –> 00:16:43,100
Steve Irwin to remind you are
you fucking bread is?

355
00:16:43,100 –> 00:16:45,000
Buttered they’re still like,
hey, yeah, we’ll give you

356
00:16:45,000 –> 00:16:47,800
benefits, but you got to look
like a fucking ass clown giving

357
00:16:47,800 –> 00:16:51,100
people boxes a shit from Amazon.
Like, there are no good, just

358
00:16:51,100 –> 00:16:53,900
none of these people care about.
There’s no fucking, it’s a

359
00:16:54,100 –> 00:16:56,700
decent way to make a living
outside of podcasting, in my

360
00:16:56,700 –> 00:16:57,800
opinion.
Absolutely.

361
00:16:57,800 –> 00:17:03,200
I think, every every podcast
Amity touring comedy, yeah, just

362
00:17:03,200 –> 00:17:05,800
can make a living on the road.
Everybody come to La, get into

363
00:17:05,800 –> 00:17:07,200
it, get involved.
That’s what I like.

364
00:17:07,200 –> 00:17:09,300
That’s what I like about cock
because I really did think about

365
00:17:09,300 –> 00:17:10,300
this.
A lot when I was younger is

366
00:17:10,308 –> 00:17:13,599
like, I want a job, but it seems
like every job, indirectly kills

367
00:17:13,599 –> 00:17:16,400
people.
So I’m like, yeah, the jobs that

368
00:17:16,400 –> 00:17:18,900
aren’t evil.
I am, it’s unless you want to

369
00:17:18,900 –> 00:17:21,099
work for like a gigantic
Corporation.

370
00:17:21,099 –> 00:17:24,500
I I talked about it with my My
family because, you know, I went

371
00:17:24,500 –> 00:17:28,800
to a great school and I still
chose comedy after that, you

372
00:17:28,800 –> 00:17:33,000
know, and to as a Pursuit and my
my mom said to me is like if you

373
00:17:33,000 –> 00:17:35,800
wanted a job at Apple right now.
We know people.

374
00:17:35,800 –> 00:17:36,900
You could have that.
Yeah.

375
00:17:36,900 –> 00:17:40,300
And I was like, yeah.
But I mean, like, I don’t, I’m

376
00:17:40,300 –> 00:17:41,900
enjoying what I’m doing.
Let me ask you this.

377
00:17:41,900 –> 00:17:47,100
I don’t want to work for Skynet.
Yeah, I I quit my day job over

378
00:17:47,100 –> 00:17:52,900
10 years ago to just write and
do comedy full-time and Ended up

379
00:17:52,900 –> 00:17:55,700
when it comes to writing.
I also wanted to not work in an

380
00:17:55,700 –> 00:18:00,100
office and by the time my, my
writing career, with cracked

381
00:18:00,100 –> 00:18:03,800
ended, I was in an office and
working for the biggest fucking

382
00:18:03,800 –> 00:18:07,700
Corporation.
Yeah, like it was scripts which

383
00:18:07,700 –> 00:18:12,400
is which rumor has, it is a CIA
front organization.

384
00:18:12,900 –> 00:18:16,000
This feels like the right
podcast to bring that up on ya.

385
00:18:16,000 –> 00:18:18,500
But the crinkling you’re hearing
is the tinfoil lining Adam’s

386
00:18:18,500 –> 00:18:20,700
head.
Yeah, I mean, I would like to

387
00:18:20,700 –> 00:18:22,800
believe I got fired by the sea.
CIA.

388
00:18:22,800 –> 00:18:23,800
Yeah.
It’s amazing.

389
00:18:23,800 –> 00:18:25,400
He’s getting too close.
Yeah.

390
00:18:25,500 –> 00:18:28,000
That’s all I want in life to
have been secretly.

391
00:18:28,000 –> 00:18:29,300
You.
I are you thinking that you got

392
00:18:29,300 –> 00:18:31,000
fired by?
The CIA is like most guys.

393
00:18:31,000 –> 00:18:34,000
Being like, I could have gone
pro if I didn’t tear my ACL

394
00:18:34,000 –> 00:18:35,700
movement.
This date, I really could have.

395
00:18:35,700 –> 00:18:38,300
I mean, I had offers, I had
scholarships to Georgia State.

396
00:18:38,300 –> 00:18:40,600
I mean, I was fucking in there.
Exactly.

397
00:18:40,600 –> 00:18:42,900
Yeah.
So yeah, the other thing about

398
00:18:42,900 –> 00:18:48,500
the 1950s and people turning to
religion, I feel like some

399
00:18:48,500 –> 00:18:52,100
people need an enemy like they
need something.

400
00:18:52,200 –> 00:18:54,300
To something to fight against.
Yeah.

401
00:18:54,300 –> 00:18:57,600
Something to fight for and
against, and maybe that’s the

402
00:18:57,600 –> 00:18:59,100
devil for some people.
Yeah.

403
00:18:59,300 –> 00:19:02,700
So maybe that well, yeah,
because like, in the 1950s life

404
00:19:02,700 –> 00:19:05,600
was so, you know, good
comparatively to, you know, the

405
00:19:05,900 –> 00:19:08,400
previous times.
It was just like, we got to find

406
00:19:08,400 –> 00:19:12,100
a problem here.
Yeah, you know, I did fucking

407
00:19:12,100 –> 00:19:14,800
food.
Plenty of IT jobs everywhere.

408
00:19:15,100 –> 00:19:17,600
I don’t know.
Let’s go with the idea of evil.

409
00:19:17,600 –> 00:19:19,700
We should be able to chew on
that for a bit.

410
00:19:20,300 –> 00:19:22,000
Yeah.
This illusory figure.

411
00:19:22,200 –> 00:19:23,600
Sure that we can never quite
find.

412
00:19:23,600 –> 00:19:25,000
Oh yeah, that’s that’s an all of
us.

413
00:19:25,000 –> 00:19:27,100
That’s the real money.
Fo if you can find yourself an

414
00:19:27,108 –> 00:19:30,500
illusory figure, you know, be it
an ethnic group or a pair of

415
00:19:30,500 –> 00:19:33,700
moral failing than you can get
people to do anything and then

416
00:19:33,700 –> 00:19:37,400
that’s kind of what this turned
into in the 1950s.

417
00:19:37,700 –> 00:19:40,400
Again, relating to Christmas
Even back.

418
00:19:40,400 –> 00:19:44,300
Then there was a movement to
quote, put Christ back in

419
00:19:44,300 –> 00:19:47,200
Christmas.
And so that’s the next era in

420
00:19:47,200 –> 00:19:50,000
history where the war on
Christmas pops up again.

421
00:19:50,200 –> 00:19:54,100
This was a I think this might
have been another pamphlet that

422
00:19:54,100 –> 00:19:56,600
was sent out by the National
Council of the Churches of

423
00:19:56,600 –> 00:19:59,700
Christ in 1955.
It is expected that public

424
00:19:59,700 –> 00:20:02,800
schools shall teach that
religion is an essential aspect

425
00:20:02,800 –> 00:20:06,300
of Our National Heritage and
culture that this nation

426
00:20:06,300 –> 00:20:09,800
subsists under the governance of
God, and that our moral and

427
00:20:09,800 –> 00:20:13,300
ethical values, rest upon
religious grounds and sanctions

428
00:20:13,600 –> 00:20:16,500
to do, otherwise would be to
distort history.

429
00:20:16,500 –> 00:20:20,600
No, no, that’s not true.
No, it’s, I mean, it makes sense

430
00:20:20,600 –> 00:20:24,200
that those people would say,
That then write final Council of

431
00:20:24,200 –> 00:20:26,400
the Churches of Christ.
Yeah.

432
00:20:26,600 –> 00:20:29,100
Those visually seem like the
type of people who would say

433
00:20:29,300 –> 00:20:34,700
under the governance of God yes
we really got a deep good.

434
00:20:34,700 –> 00:20:36,900
Get down underneath that little
Shelf at the bottom of your

435
00:20:36,900 –> 00:20:41,000
throat.
God me and my old roommate Opie

436
00:20:41,000 –> 00:20:43,500
we used to just why we suggest
when we pass each other in the

437
00:20:43,500 –> 00:20:46,200
hall, just going to do the God
Bless America.

438
00:20:46,300 –> 00:20:49,400
God damn America.
It’s in the Bible.

439
00:20:49,400 –> 00:20:51,600
This is my favorite thing to say
that voice.

440
00:20:53,000 –> 00:20:56,800
Yeah, this.
So, what happened when this

441
00:20:56,800 –> 00:21:02,000
started coming up, was obviously
Jewish organizations all sorts

442
00:21:02,000 –> 00:21:05,600
of religious organizations.
That weren’t Christians were

443
00:21:05,600 –> 00:21:07,400
like.
Now he can’t do this, it’s

444
00:21:07,400 –> 00:21:11,100
separation of church and state.
Yeah, it’s clearly stated.

445
00:21:11,100 –> 00:21:14,700
It’s so funny, how, you know,
even like church organizations

446
00:21:14,700 –> 00:21:16,400
would be like, yeah, no, we
totally believe that.

447
00:21:16,400 –> 00:21:18,800
That’s what our country was
founded on there, like, but you

448
00:21:18,808 –> 00:21:20,300
guys don’t pray in school,
right?

449
00:21:20,300 –> 00:21:23,100
Right.
Yeah, now, That was no

450
00:21:23,100 –> 00:21:24,800
boundaries.
Are this really good?

451
00:21:24,900 –> 00:21:27,000
Ronald Reagan book called The
Invisible Bridge.

452
00:21:27,000 –> 00:21:29,100
It’s about him challenging
forward for the nomination in

453
00:21:29,100 –> 00:21:31,800
76.
And he had this like, he would

454
00:21:31,800 –> 00:21:34,400
like to said, the biggest like
applause line in his stump

455
00:21:34,400 –> 00:21:36,100
speech.
And it was like, it was like,

456
00:21:36,100 –> 00:21:39,800
you know, maybe if we could get,
you know, all this eco-friendly

457
00:21:39,800 –> 00:21:41,800
agitate education out of
schools.

458
00:21:41,800 –> 00:21:44,100
We might have some room to get
God back in and then people

459
00:21:44,100 –> 00:21:46,700
would just go on, just go ape
shit.

460
00:21:46,900 –> 00:21:48,800
Yeah, there was there was a real
big.

461
00:21:49,000 –> 00:21:52,700
We could get God back in just
fucking Fishing.

462
00:21:53,300 –> 00:21:54,700
Yeah.
That’s in what.

463
00:21:54,700 –> 00:21:57,800
Musical parody at the loony bin
in fucking Arkansas.

464
00:21:57,800 –> 00:22:01,900
A level just destruction like,
yeah, you just got interesting.

465
00:22:02,000 –> 00:22:05,200
Yeah, there was a real, like
Reagan is the one who made

466
00:22:05,200 –> 00:22:08,800
conservatism such a big thing.
Well, he’s country kind of

467
00:22:08,800 –> 00:22:10,900
started with Nixon but well and
William.

468
00:22:10,900 –> 00:22:13,800
F, Buckley was the person who
was the driver behind Reagan’s,

469
00:22:13,800 –> 00:22:15,000
right?
Ascend to the present.

470
00:22:15,000 –> 00:22:17,300
Yeah, that guy that guy fucking
fuck.

471
00:22:17,300 –> 00:22:18,200
What’s his name?
I forget it.

472
00:22:18,200 –> 00:22:20,600
But he did Nixon land and
invisible bridge and there’s one

473
00:22:20,600 –> 00:22:23,300
before that, but it’s like, It’s
kind of goes from Barry

474
00:22:23,300 –> 00:22:25,600
Goldwater on to like the hot and
Republican parties.

475
00:22:25,600 –> 00:22:28,500
Very interesting about how like
Barry Goldwater, you know, lost

476
00:22:28,500 –> 00:22:31,400
twice and he was just sort of
the the Martyr for the whole

477
00:22:31,400 –> 00:22:34,000
idea and was you know, the guy
that sort of kicked it all off?

478
00:22:34,200 –> 00:22:38,100
Yeah, this is.
Let’s read this quote quick.

479
00:22:38,100 –> 00:22:40,600
This is from the John Birch
Society.

480
00:22:40,700 –> 00:22:44,700
This is still in the 50s 1959.
Are these concerts still around

481
00:22:44,700 –> 00:22:46,400
to?
Yeah, that’s the thing.

482
00:22:46,400 –> 00:22:51,400
This is kind of the first moment
where like a modern kind of

483
00:22:51,400 –> 00:22:54,000
right-wing.
That we’re still is around and

484
00:22:54,000 –> 00:22:56,300
exist.
Today takes the mantle and

485
00:22:56,300 –> 00:22:58,200
starts running with the war on
Christmas.

486
00:22:58,400 –> 00:23:00,200
I mean, besides the Nazis and
Henry.

487
00:23:00,200 –> 00:23:03,800
Ford Nazis are obviously still
around, but this is the John

488
00:23:03,800 –> 00:23:06,300
Birch Society.
One of the techniques now being

489
00:23:06,300 –> 00:23:09,300
applied by the Reds to weaken
the pillar of religion in our

490
00:23:09,300 –> 00:23:12,800
country is the drive to take
Christ out of Christmas to

491
00:23:12,800 –> 00:23:16,500
Denude the events of its
religious meaning, the UN

492
00:23:16,500 –> 00:23:20,300
Fanatics launched, their assault
on Christmas in 1958, but too

493
00:23:20,300 –> 00:23:23,600
late to get very far before the
holy Day was at hand, they are

494
00:23:23,600 –> 00:23:26,200
already busy.
However, at this moment on

495
00:23:26,200 –> 00:23:29,900
efforts to poison the 1959
Christmas season with their high

496
00:23:29,900 –> 00:23:31,700
pressure propaganda.
What?

497
00:23:31,700 –> 00:23:34,800
They now want to put over on the
American people is simply this

498
00:23:35,100 –> 00:23:37,800
department stores throughout the
country are to utilize un

499
00:23:37,800 –> 00:23:40,700
symbols and emblems as Christmas
decorations.

500
00:23:40,800 –> 00:23:41,900
What?
Yeah.

501
00:23:41,900 –> 00:23:44,000
Yeah, that’s what a Nutter.
That’s a bit.

502
00:23:44,000 –> 00:23:46,900
That’s a bit bit much.
Yeah, that’s I don’t know.

503
00:23:46,900 –> 00:23:48,900
It’s fucking good.
A lot of times the people it’s

504
00:23:48,900 –> 00:23:51,700
just like you can’t.
They did the shit with this is

505
00:23:51,700 –> 00:23:53,200
like you.
You can’t argue with their

506
00:23:53,200 –> 00:23:55,100
facts, but you can argue with
their conclusion.

507
00:23:55,100 –> 00:23:58,300
It’s like, well, yeah, there’s
secularizing the holiday season

508
00:23:58,300 –> 00:24:00,200
and it’s a fucking and then you
go.

509
00:24:00,300 –> 00:24:00,900
Yeah.
Yeah.

510
00:24:00,900 –> 00:24:03,100
They are, you know, and then and
they’re like, they’re doing it

511
00:24:03,100 –> 00:24:08,300
because and you’re like, oh no,
I was with like so, like they’ll

512
00:24:08,300 –> 00:24:11,000
fucking, they’ll talk in.
They’ll be reasonable for, you

513
00:24:11,000 –> 00:24:12,600
know, 35 seconds.
Yeah.

514
00:24:12,600 –> 00:24:14,600
And then you’re kind of
listening going, okay.

515
00:24:14,600 –> 00:24:16,200
Seems like he’s just saying
what’s going on?

516
00:24:16,200 –> 00:24:18,400
And then like when they start
fucking piecing, it together

517
00:24:18,400 –> 00:24:20,200
with whatever narrative they’re
trying to build, that’s where

518
00:24:20,200 –> 00:24:22,100
you have to like be a
Discerning, you know.

519
00:24:22,200 –> 00:24:24,100
No consumer of information.
Yeah.

520
00:24:24,100 –> 00:24:26,300
Absolutely.
What bothers me is so much.

521
00:24:26,300 –> 00:24:30,700
Is that these people feel like
they’re the Arbiters of morality

522
00:24:30,900 –> 00:24:34,600
where I was like, I I celebrate
Christmas and Easter, you know,

523
00:24:34,600 –> 00:24:37,400
I celebrated with my family
growing up, but it’s not,

524
00:24:37,400 –> 00:24:39,700
there’s no, there’s no religion
attached to it, you know, we

525
00:24:39,700 –> 00:24:42,600
don’t pray before dinner.
You know, there’s we never went

526
00:24:42,600 –> 00:24:44,300
to church on any of these
holidays.

527
00:24:44,300 –> 00:24:48,500
It was just a reason to spend
time with family and so although

528
00:24:48,700 –> 00:24:51,900
we were celebrating Christian
holidays, you know, it’s very

529
00:24:52,200 –> 00:24:56,100
Killer in that it’s like they
feel like you you can’t have

530
00:24:56,100 –> 00:25:00,900
morality by without praising
Jesus and God, right?

531
00:25:00,900 –> 00:25:05,900
It’s like you can you can have
these secular secularized ha you

532
00:25:05,900 –> 00:25:07,600
know you know, holidays like
Christmas.

533
00:25:07,608 –> 00:25:10,400
But it’s like you can’t get
morality from anywhere else.

534
00:25:10,400 –> 00:25:13,900
It seems really insecure on
their part to dress.

535
00:25:13,900 –> 00:25:16,200
So, befuddled by all this.
Yeah.

536
00:25:16,200 –> 00:25:19,200
Like I really think one of the
most important things in life is

537
00:25:19,200 –> 00:25:22,600
to sort of synthesize your own
kind of beliefs because It’s an

538
00:25:22,600 –> 00:25:25,300
easy thing to do to hear someone
say something smart to resonates

539
00:25:25,300 –> 00:25:27,100
with you and go.
I’ll just go with whatever that

540
00:25:27,100 –> 00:25:28,600
guy thinks, right?
And there are people like, I

541
00:25:28,608 –> 00:25:30,500
haven’t read all that Jordan
Pederson, shit, but it’s like,

542
00:25:30,500 –> 00:25:32,600
it seems like pretty
garden-variety like fucking

543
00:25:32,900 –> 00:25:33,600
Yeah.
Clean your room.

544
00:25:33,600 –> 00:25:35,500
And start the day a little
earlier, maybe do some light

545
00:25:35,500 –> 00:25:37,300
exercise in the morning and
you’ll, and you’ll have some

546
00:25:37,300 –> 00:25:39,700
momentum to start your day and
people got like, yeah, you know,

547
00:25:39,700 –> 00:25:41,200
I started doing that.
I felt a lot better and

548
00:25:41,200 –> 00:25:44,800
furthermore, women are cancer
and I like because I like you

549
00:25:44,800 –> 00:25:46,500
can.
I got me on the fourth Point.

550
00:25:46,500 –> 00:25:47,500
Damn it.
Yeah.

551
00:25:47,500 –> 00:25:49,400
Like like I know people in my
life that have given me

552
00:25:49,400 –> 00:25:52,000
tremendous advice and then also
tried to give me too.

553
00:25:52,200 –> 00:25:54,400
It’s some horrible small
business, you know, just like

554
00:25:54,400 –> 00:25:57,100
you have to be Discerning
because a lot of people want

555
00:25:57,100 –> 00:25:59,600
that Dad figure.
I talk about a lot on here where

556
00:25:59,600 –> 00:26:01,700
they just want some guy to like,
just let them know what.

557
00:26:01,700 –> 00:26:03,400
They have to think that, I think
my dad.

558
00:26:03,400 –> 00:26:05,500
Exactly.
Yeah, that’s a, that’s a good

559
00:26:05,500 –> 00:26:07,900
old Bill Hicks bid by The Bill
O’Reilly.

560
00:26:07,900 –> 00:26:09,600
I think it’s one of the one of
those like, conserving guys just

561
00:26:09,600 –> 00:26:11,100
saw Isaac.
Do you need a dad?

562
00:26:11,100 –> 00:26:13,600
Like, it’s like, people just
need dad’s, so, I don’t know.

563
00:26:13,600 –> 00:26:15,500
You got to fucking just gonna be
Discerning.

564
00:26:16,100 –> 00:26:18,600
Yeah.
And it, what all of this boils

565
00:26:18,600 –> 00:26:21,100
down to in every one of these
cases?

566
00:26:21,100 –> 00:26:23,300
So far, it’s either.
Either, it’s mostly just

567
00:26:23,300 –> 00:26:25,500
separation of church and state.
It’s not.

568
00:26:25,600 –> 00:26:28,100
And and again, people that’s
like the all the fucking first,

569
00:26:28,100 –> 00:26:30,400
like people taking issue with,
like we had two three, good

570
00:26:30,400 –> 00:26:32,700
ideas in the Constitution.
And let’s all let’s get those.

571
00:26:32,700 –> 00:26:36,200
Yeah, yeah.
And with Christmas like it’s, it

572
00:26:36,200 –> 00:26:41,300
feels kind of hypocritical to me
to be mad that it’s being

573
00:26:41,300 –> 00:26:44,300
secularized.
Now that people are saying,

574
00:26:44,300 –> 00:26:48,200
well, let’s say happy holidays.
When like we’re their presence

575
00:26:48,200 –> 00:26:52,100
involved in the initial, like
celebration of Christmas.

576
00:26:52,200 –> 00:26:57,400
Been commercialized for a long
time and like, if you’re devout

577
00:26:57,400 –> 00:27:00,700
enough to care about people,
still saying Christ in

578
00:27:00,700 –> 00:27:02,900
Christmas.
You should also be mad that I

579
00:27:02,908 –> 00:27:07,000
can buy a fucking PlayStation
for super cheap at Christmas.

580
00:27:07,000 –> 00:27:09,400
Yeah, if you’re a true
Christian, you don’t like rich

581
00:27:09,400 –> 00:27:11,200
people, right?
Yeah.

582
00:27:11,200 –> 00:27:14,200
You don’t have any savings.
You give all your money to those

583
00:27:14,200 –> 00:27:15,400
in need.
Yeah.

584
00:27:15,500 –> 00:27:18,000
If you’re like a fundamentalist,
if you’re, if you are.

585
00:27:18,200 –> 00:27:22,000
I mean, if you are Christian to
the letter of their Doctrine,

586
00:27:22,100 –> 00:27:25,600
Ian, then, you know, or any
actually follow what Jesus

587
00:27:25,600 –> 00:27:28,800
claimed to put out there is
like, you would be, you would

588
00:27:28,800 –> 00:27:31,800
have no interest in all this
like Black Friday shopping.

589
00:27:31,800 –> 00:27:35,500
And what these companies, these
yeah, money-hungry companies are

590
00:27:35,508 –> 00:27:36,500
doing.
You’d be drunk.

591
00:27:36,600 –> 00:27:38,500
You’d find it crass.
Yeah.

592
00:27:38,500 –> 00:27:40,400
You and you and you eat those so
sit yourself with.

593
00:27:40,400 –> 00:27:41,400
Yeah.
And you meet those kind of

594
00:27:41,408 –> 00:27:43,600
people and they’re nicer shit.
They’re really like you know,

595
00:27:43,600 –> 00:27:45,800
you like I’ve met people like
that where they’re just like, oh

596
00:27:45,800 –> 00:27:48,900
yeah, whatever dope Christians.
Fine you know.

597
00:27:48,900 –> 00:27:51,700
Yeah I think it’ll matter bunch.
I live next door to him and my

598
00:27:51,700 –> 00:27:53,800
parents.
Extorted this, we live next door

599
00:27:53,800 –> 00:27:56,500
to the fucking Flanders family
and they’re just like, they’re

600
00:27:56,500 –> 00:27:59,600
always like hey saw your car
lights were on just thought I’d

601
00:27:59,600 –> 00:28:01,800
let you know just like the most
helpful fucking pee.

602
00:28:02,000 –> 00:28:03,400
You know?
Like one time I house was

603
00:28:03,400 –> 00:28:05,700
flooding and like I didn’t know
what the fuck to do is like 15.

604
00:28:05,700 –> 00:28:07,800
I went over there.
The guy Duane gives me the tools

605
00:28:07,800 –> 00:28:10,100
I need to go turn the water off
in the front and just they’re

606
00:28:10,100 –> 00:28:12,800
just great neighbors and they’re
not lovely people, you know,

607
00:28:12,800 –> 00:28:15,400
they’re white.
Yeah they have shockingly Dwayne

608
00:28:15,400 –> 00:28:20,000
yeah, yeah it’s wow Wayne the
whole ER Believe It or Not

609
00:28:20,000 –> 00:28:21,800
Caucasian.
I don’t know how it worked out

610
00:28:21,800 –> 00:28:26,100
but But that is impressive.
Yeah, so we were just talking

611
00:28:26,100 –> 00:28:30,200
about Reagan and conservatism
and one thing that’s really

612
00:28:30,200 –> 00:28:34,800
interesting about the, the key
moments in the war on Christmas

613
00:28:35,000 –> 00:28:38,900
is the entirety of the 80s when
America in general.

614
00:28:38,900 –> 00:28:41,000
Like people sometimes, I think
people, sometimes.

615
00:28:41,000 –> 00:28:44,700
Forget Reagan won 49 states in
1984.

616
00:28:44,800 –> 00:28:48,100
Yeah, I might.
What did, what did fucking to

617
00:28:48,108 –> 00:28:50,600
get McGovern?
When he just one like Mondale

618
00:28:50,600 –> 00:28:51,500
one?
Mondo.

619
00:28:52,600 –> 00:28:53,800
Minnesota, because that’s where
he was.

620
00:28:53,800 –> 00:28:59,000
Yeah, he just got one and my
dad, even voted for Reagan.

621
00:28:59,100 –> 00:29:01,900
And his job was shipped out of
the country.

622
00:29:01,900 –> 00:29:04,300
Like, oh shit.
Within a year and a half of

623
00:29:04,300 –> 00:29:06,400
Reagan getting re-elected.
That was a good old.

624
00:29:06,400 –> 00:29:08,300
Dennis Miller bed when he was
talking about one of those

625
00:29:08,300 –> 00:29:11,600
Reagan elections, he’s like his
opponent, got a three electoral

626
00:29:11,600 –> 00:29:13,900
votes, man.
That’s only three more than me.

627
00:29:15,800 –> 00:29:17,400
Oh my gosh, it does a really
good job.

628
00:29:17,400 –> 00:29:19,900
How about that babe.
Yeah, yeah.

629
00:29:19,900 –> 00:29:21,900
It was a decisive win.
I’m old enough.

630
00:29:22,100 –> 00:29:24,800
To remember election night in
1984.

631
00:29:24,800 –> 00:29:26,200
Yeah.
And I remember watching that

632
00:29:26,200 –> 00:29:30,400
election and the country was
overwhelmingly in favor of

633
00:29:30,400 –> 00:29:33,600
Reagan and that meant the
country was overwhelmingly in

634
00:29:33,600 –> 00:29:38,200
favor of conservatism in general
because he had swag, dude.

635
00:29:38,200 –> 00:29:40,600
That’s it.
All comes down to swag.

636
00:29:40,700 –> 00:29:44,100
You hear that actor confidence.
Broad you remember, there’s a

637
00:29:44,100 –> 00:29:47,200
fucking debate where he was kind
of like he was just be he was a

638
00:29:47,200 –> 00:29:49,900
little off and just kind of
forgetful and like an

639
00:29:49,900 –> 00:29:51,200
Alzheimer’s.
Yeah.

640
00:29:51,200 –> 00:29:53,500
Fucking he was fun.
And then the next one he, you

641
00:29:53,500 –> 00:29:56,300
know, he just, he just like got
his fucking guys together and

642
00:29:56,300 –> 00:29:58,100
wrote about some of the
one-liners, you know, he’s like

643
00:29:58,100 –> 00:30:01,900
I plan to show my youthful vigor
in this campaign and I’m going

644
00:30:01,900 –> 00:30:06,400
to all 13 states, you know?
And yeah, he’s like a good job

645
00:30:06,400 –> 00:30:08,300
though.
You’re no Jack, Kennedy, the

646
00:30:08,400 –> 00:30:10,400
you’re no Jack, Kennedy, you
know?

647
00:30:10,400 –> 00:30:12,300
No you’reyou’re know, Thomas
Jefferson?

648
00:30:12,300 –> 00:30:15,300
I knew Thomas Jefferson, you
know, just like people just

649
00:30:15,300 –> 00:30:17,900
brought him a bunch of like
fucking you know like little

650
00:30:17,900 –> 00:30:21,600
joke book asks I’m old jokes
that I was like oh but he knows

651
00:30:21,600 –> 00:30:24,000
so it’s Fine.
Of course we have this senile

652
00:30:24,000 –> 00:30:26,000
evil fucking money-grubbing
asshole.

653
00:30:26,000 –> 00:30:27,600
Run the country for another four
years.

654
00:30:27,600 –> 00:30:29,400
He was such a fucking monster
though.

655
00:30:29,400 –> 00:30:30,900
He’s a goddamn.
Yeah.

656
00:30:30,900 –> 00:30:34,300
Like the stuff he did.
I wish that I wish that fucking

657
00:30:34,600 –> 00:30:36,800
yeah.
That Taxi Driver guy had had

658
00:30:36,800 –> 00:30:38,900
bought a real gun.
Yeah.

659
00:30:39,000 –> 00:30:42,600
Like the stuff he did especially
with the AIDS crisis that’s if I

660
00:30:42,608 –> 00:30:45,800
could go back in time I would
just leave an envelope with $600

661
00:30:45,900 –> 00:30:50,600
on the guys porch have at.
Yeah, that like the AIDS not

662
00:30:51,000 –> 00:30:51,900
addressing that.
It was a thing.

663
00:30:52,100 –> 00:30:54,700
They didn’t use the word AIDS
until like 87.

664
00:30:54,800 –> 00:30:56,100
Oh, yeah.
And then, and then that press

665
00:30:56,100 –> 00:30:57,400
conference.
I think, the press secretary,

666
00:30:57,400 –> 00:30:59,700
like, the whole thrust of it was
like, yeah, that’s why you

667
00:30:59,700 –> 00:31:01,700
shouldn’t be gay.
Yeah, I’m shit.

668
00:31:01,700 –> 00:31:03,500
Like it was his very dismissive.
Yeah.

669
00:31:03,500 –> 00:31:06,900
Someone asked him about AIDS in
the guy was like, why are you

670
00:31:06,900 –> 00:31:11,000
asking about AIDS Larry?
Yeah, and it’s like jeez cuz

671
00:31:11,100 –> 00:31:13,400
like 5,000 people died last
year.

672
00:31:13,400 –> 00:31:14,300
Yeah.
I that point.

673
00:31:14,300 –> 00:31:17,100
Yeah, it’s killing people by the
truckload.

674
00:31:17,100 –> 00:31:19,000
Yeah.
If anything else and you know

675
00:31:19,000 –> 00:31:21,400
that many people in a year,
you’d think they’d want to talk

676
00:31:21,400 –> 00:31:23,700
about it more because They did
invent it, you know, I, if I

677
00:31:23,700 –> 00:31:25,800
invented a psychic proud, I
would want it.

678
00:31:25,800 –> 00:31:27,400
I’d be proud of your
achievements.

679
00:31:27,400 –> 00:31:31,900
I’d never shut up about it.
My son will not stop talking

680
00:31:31,900 –> 00:31:35,900
about his new toy that I just go
to the store and shit with a

681
00:31:35,908 –> 00:31:38,800
hat.
It’s like AIDS established 1982,

682
00:31:38,800 –> 00:31:41,500
you know, and I just be like, oh
this yeah, well I was on the, I

683
00:31:41,508 –> 00:31:45,100
was on the dev team, you know, I
did some, I did some work on the

684
00:31:45,100 –> 00:31:47,200
spin that into a whole Crow
clothing line.

685
00:31:47,200 –> 00:31:49,700
Yeah, that was Silicon Valley
before Silicon Valley.

686
00:31:49,700 –> 00:31:52,000
It was yeah, it didn’t killed
black.

687
00:31:52,100 –> 00:31:58,100
Bullying.
Gays size is small only that was

688
00:31:58,100 –> 00:31:59,500
dark.
You’ll grow into it.

689
00:31:59,500 –> 00:32:04,300
Yeah.
So let’s talk about the Supreme

690
00:32:04,300 –> 00:32:07,400
Court in the 80s because I think
with all the talk of how

691
00:32:07,400 –> 00:32:11,400
conservative the country was in
the 80s, it’s really interesting

692
00:32:11,400 –> 00:32:14,900
the the decisions, the Supreme
Court made throughout that

693
00:32:14,900 –> 00:32:18,600
decade in the 80s with head just
as Mark mothersbaugh with Devo,

694
00:32:18,600 –> 00:32:21,900
who had some interesting
opinions on personal.

695
00:32:22,000 –> 00:32:25,900
Property on a search rights that
made a lot of consequential

696
00:32:25,900 –> 00:32:29,800
rulings in 1980.
The Supreme Court ruled that

697
00:32:29,800 –> 00:32:33,000
posting the Ten Commandments in
public schools is

698
00:32:33,000 –> 00:32:36,700
unconstitutional short for
unconstitutional.

699
00:32:37,200 –> 00:32:39,100
I do wish that.
I hope they have a whole lingo

700
00:32:39,100 –> 00:32:41,600
in the Supreme Court where they
just yeah like yeah we’re

701
00:32:41,600 –> 00:32:44,700
thinking of seeing seeing you
know that’s unconstitutional

702
00:32:46,800 –> 00:32:50,000
1985.
They ruled that Alabama’s moment

703
00:32:50,000 –> 00:32:53,100
of silence.
Statute was Constitutionally

704
00:32:53,100 –> 00:32:56,400
biased in favor of prayer.
I don’t know what that means,

705
00:32:56,500 –> 00:32:58,300
but apparently War on Christmas
types.

706
00:32:58,300 –> 00:33:03,200
Didn’t like it. 1987, they ruled
against the teaching of creation

707
00:33:03,200 –> 00:33:08,400
science, alongside evolution in
school curriculums and in 1999

708
00:33:08,400 –> 00:33:10,900
or 1989.
They ruled that it’s

709
00:33:10,900 –> 00:33:14,800
unconstitutional to erect a
nativity scene on public

710
00:33:14,800 –> 00:33:19,800
property and I think that on the
one hand that is surprising, but

711
00:33:19,800 –> 00:33:23,200
I bet a lot of it has to do.
With how conservative the

712
00:33:23,208 –> 00:33:26,900
country became during that time,
and people being feeling

713
00:33:26,900 –> 00:33:30,100
emboldened to push lawsuits like
this.

714
00:33:30,200 –> 00:33:33,100
Yeah, totally.
I it’s it’s so strange that

715
00:33:33,100 –> 00:33:36,200
people were like, we need to
push religion and all these are

716
00:33:36,200 –> 00:33:38,400
the places.
Like, you know, people, if you

717
00:33:38,400 –> 00:33:41,900
want to go somewhere to learn
something, you go to the place

718
00:33:41,900 –> 00:33:45,000
where they have experts, you
want to go to gripe, you want to

719
00:33:45,008 –> 00:33:48,700
learn about math and science and
and grammar, you go to school

720
00:33:48,700 –> 00:33:50,500
where they have experts, who
teach you, those things.

721
00:33:50,600 –> 00:33:53,900
If you want to learn about this,
This God in this Jesus that he

722
00:33:53,900 –> 00:33:55,700
were talking about.
You go to the, you go to the

723
00:33:55,700 –> 00:33:59,000
place where people have, you
know, they’re experts, you go to

724
00:33:59,000 –> 00:34:00,900
Rio to a church.
Jesus school.

725
00:34:01,100 –> 00:34:02,000
Go to Jesus.
Cool.

726
00:34:02,100 –> 00:34:04,100
You know, all my Chinese
friends, when they wanted to

727
00:34:04,100 –> 00:34:06,800
learn Mandarin.
They went to Chinese school

728
00:34:06,800 –> 00:34:08,199
because they didn’t have it in
school, right?

729
00:34:08,199 –> 00:34:10,699
Go to where those experts are.
It just seems so strange that

730
00:34:10,699 –> 00:34:13,400
like, it’s like, no we need to
we need to put this everywhere.

731
00:34:13,500 –> 00:34:15,900
That’s like, right?
I don’t and especially with

732
00:34:15,900 –> 00:34:18,900
church to Allah, I mean, most
churches have some form of Bible

733
00:34:18,900 –> 00:34:21,900
study.
Yeah, if you go to towns out,

734
00:34:22,000 –> 00:34:24,199
Outside of major metropolitan
areas.

735
00:34:24,199 –> 00:34:27,500
There’s churches everywhere.
They’re all over has ever.

736
00:34:27,500 –> 00:34:28,600
We’re here.
Oh for sure.

737
00:34:28,600 –> 00:34:31,199
Yeah I mean as well that’s what
I did when I was a kid I was

738
00:34:31,199 –> 00:34:33,800
afraid of dying so I was like
maybe I’ll believe in God and I

739
00:34:33,800 –> 00:34:36,100
went to church like twice and I
was like this is the dumbest

740
00:34:36,100 –> 00:34:39,699
shit I’ve ever had.
I hate these people, I’m bored.

741
00:34:40,100 –> 00:34:44,500
I went to a I’ve told the story
a few times I went to a

742
00:34:44,500 –> 00:34:48,900
non-denominational church in
Mazomanie Wisconsin.

743
00:34:49,100 –> 00:34:53,300
That’s great.
Name in my early Amazo meny that

744
00:34:53,300 –> 00:34:54,400
sounds like a brand of
cigarettes.

745
00:34:54,400 –> 00:34:57,000
The only saw an Indian
reservations it was next to

746
00:34:57,000 –> 00:34:59,700
these Mazomanie zits like Baba
hair and fiber glass.

747
00:34:59,800 –> 00:35:03,000
It was next to Black Earth
Wisconsin, which was called that

748
00:35:03,000 –> 00:35:05,700
because the soil was because put
very dark black.

749
00:35:05,700 –> 00:35:07,800
I thought it’s because Public
Enemy moved there and they’re

750
00:35:07,800 –> 00:35:11,100
trying to start their town but I
was working.

751
00:35:11,100 –> 00:35:15,000
This overnight job at a grocery
store with a dude.

752
00:35:15,300 –> 00:35:19,800
I called Italian Neil who had
moved from Connecticut to the

753
00:35:19,800 –> 00:35:23,700
middle of Wisconsin and he just
like, Lost his fucking mind but

754
00:35:23,700 –> 00:35:28,100
he moved there to get married in
his wife’s family who they lived

755
00:35:28,100 –> 00:35:34,600
with was super religious and we
would work overnight and he

756
00:35:34,600 –> 00:35:37,000
would go to church.
But he would also make these

757
00:35:37,000 –> 00:35:39,700
huge Italian feasts every
Sunday.

758
00:35:39,900 –> 00:35:42,400
I like to believe he wasn’t even
Italian, they just useless like

759
00:35:42,400 –> 00:35:45,500
a Japanese guy.
He was like he was very Italian

760
00:35:45,500 –> 00:35:49,100
Italian as fuck.
Super Italian.

761
00:35:49,100 –> 00:35:51,500
One of those guys who’s like so
Italian its offensive if you’re

762
00:35:51,500 –> 00:35:53,700
like her.
Enforcing so many stereotypes.

763
00:35:53,700 –> 00:35:57,000
Guys, you gotta be a bad look,
this feels, it feels like a lot.

764
00:35:57,000 –> 00:35:59,400
This is a lot of Italian.
It just overwhelming where you

765
00:35:59,400 –> 00:36:01,800
just like, well you see a
picture of me like a garlic.

766
00:36:01,800 –> 00:36:05,900
I smell like, and to get to that
Feast, I would have to go to

767
00:36:05,900 –> 00:36:09,600
church with him.
So we would get high after work

768
00:36:09,600 –> 00:36:12,700
because we worked overnight, we
would just get super high and

769
00:36:12,700 –> 00:36:17,800
then go to church and sit in the
balcony and be all weed paranoid

770
00:36:17,800 –> 00:36:19,500
and think every sermon was about
us.

771
00:36:19,600 –> 00:36:23,000
It was actually kind of fun and
it At one point, they asked

772
00:36:23,000 –> 00:36:25,800
people if they wanted to be
saved, in the thing they pushed

773
00:36:25,800 –> 00:36:29,300
in this church was once you’re
saved, it can’t be undone, like

774
00:36:29,300 –> 00:36:31,700
nothing you do.
Like, I could fucking murder

775
00:36:31,700 –> 00:36:34,500
Connor right now, you’re saved.
And according to this church,

776
00:36:34,500 –> 00:36:37,100
I’m saved.
And I was like, fucking sot.

777
00:36:37,100 –> 00:36:38,900
Like, why wouldn’t you?
Yeah.

778
00:36:38,900 –> 00:36:41,300
Sign up for that just doesn’t
insurance policy.

779
00:36:41,300 –> 00:36:44,200
Yeah.
Like, and I so, I went down and

780
00:36:44,300 –> 00:36:48,000
they, we did the talk in the guy
was like you’re safe now and I

781
00:36:48,000 –> 00:36:50,900
was like tight.
And then I think I went to that

782
00:36:50,900 –> 00:36:52,500
church three or four more.
Times.

783
00:36:52,700 –> 00:36:54,400
And I’ve never been to church
again.

784
00:36:54,500 –> 00:36:56,400
Well, you got to get you.
It’s when you go to the Jiffy

785
00:36:56,400 –> 00:36:58,700
Lube and you like, I’m gonna get
the good shit this time, I got

786
00:36:58,700 –> 00:37:01,300
10,000, I’m saved.
So I got, you know, I’m yeah, I

787
00:37:01,308 –> 00:37:03,600
just think about this for a
business that at the car wash

788
00:37:03,600 –> 00:37:06,300
because I find, I haven’t been
able to drive my car forever and

789
00:37:06,300 –> 00:37:09,200
I finally can again.
So, I went and got it washed and

790
00:37:09,200 –> 00:37:11,700
I was like that.
Give me that clay whack.

791
00:37:11,700 –> 00:37:13,700
Yeah.
Bleach the fucking Matt’s bitch

792
00:37:13,700 –> 00:37:16,300
forgetting detail on these
rooms.

793
00:37:16,800 –> 00:37:22,300
Hell yeah, so so yeah.
But again, it’s all that Stuff

794
00:37:22,300 –> 00:37:24,700
that happens in the 80s.
That’s not a war on Christmas.

795
00:37:24,700 –> 00:37:29,800
That is like, just because
Christmas is, when you roll out

796
00:37:29,800 –> 00:37:33,100
all your most religious items to
display them to people.

797
00:37:33,400 –> 00:37:37,100
It doesn’t mean it’s a war on
Christmas by enforcing

798
00:37:37,100 –> 00:37:41,800
separation of church and state.
But somehow throughout all of

799
00:37:41,808 –> 00:37:44,300
this, the actual term, the war
on Christmas.

800
00:37:44,500 –> 00:37:48,700
No one managed to coin that term
and still until the year 2000.

801
00:37:49,000 –> 00:37:51,600
Which seems weird to me.
Seems like a long yeah, yeah.

802
00:37:51,600 –> 00:37:53,400
It seems.
Someone would have come up with

803
00:37:53,400 –> 00:37:56,900
it was actually, there’s already
a precedent for the war on some

804
00:37:56,900 –> 00:38:00,300
idea, you know, as we’re on
crime, the War on Drugs.

805
00:38:00,300 –> 00:38:04,100
You know, this coincides with
the war on terror use, this was

806
00:38:04,100 –> 00:38:08,300
a well, a comfortable Trope of
the Comfort country was in by

807
00:38:08,300 –> 00:38:10,400
the time.
This was properly coined.

808
00:38:10,400 –> 00:38:11,300
Yeah.
Yeah.

809
00:38:11,300 –> 00:38:15,200
I think the war on probably
comes from the War on Drugs,

810
00:38:15,200 –> 00:38:16,900
right?
Which was belief.

811
00:38:16,900 –> 00:38:22,100
So II Nexon term, I can’t think
of any time before that where We

812
00:38:22,100 –> 00:38:25,300
just had a war on an idea, as a
great country.

813
00:38:25,300 –> 00:38:27,900
We won the War on Drugs, right?
I think so /.

814
00:38:27,900 –> 00:38:29,900
Well, declaring a walk.
It was a tie.

815
00:38:31,800 –> 00:38:34,500
I feel like I’m winning the war
on drugs everybody morning when

816
00:38:34,500 –> 00:38:35,700
I wake up.
Hell yeah.

817
00:38:36,400 –> 00:38:39,500
Yeah, dog.
Declaring war on Concepts is

818
00:38:39,500 –> 00:38:41,800
really where it’s at because
it’s like the jurisdiction is

819
00:38:41,800 –> 00:38:43,600
Limitless like Terror.
I don’t know.

820
00:38:43,600 –> 00:38:46,600
But yeah, you could declare war
in the guy that wrote saw.

821
00:38:46,600 –> 00:38:48,700
If you really want to be
creative about it, it’s about as

822
00:38:48,700 –> 00:38:51,500
effective as the guy Shadow
Boxing in the produce aisle at 3

823
00:38:51,500 –> 00:38:52,400
a.m.
Coughs.

824
00:38:52,400 –> 00:38:54,900
Oh yeah.
Like he’s fighting a ghost and

825
00:38:55,200 –> 00:38:57,500
he wins.
When he says he went, we must go

826
00:38:57,500 –> 00:39:01,800
to the same Ralph’s because I
know that guy I’m Glendale that

827
00:39:01,800 –> 00:39:04,700
Ralph is a fucking halfway house
with vegetables and attend place

828
00:39:04,700 –> 00:39:07,400
is awesome.
I’m talking about the rock and

829
00:39:07,400 –> 00:39:13,300
roll 100-yard, that one’s great.
I saw Angeline, but it makes me

830
00:39:13,300 –> 00:39:17,100
believe that every grocery store
in the Greater Los Angeles area.

831
00:39:17,100 –> 00:39:21,000
Has their own Shadow Boxer.
Yeah, that shows up at about

832
00:39:21,100 –> 00:39:23,200
12:45.
I’ve in the evening.

833
00:39:23,300 –> 00:39:24,800
Yeah.
When they have like a union

834
00:39:24,800 –> 00:39:26,400
where there’s like, just a
dispatch station.

835
00:39:26,400 –> 00:39:29,600
It’s like are you kidding me?
Stater Brothers, and Van Nuys,

836
00:39:29,600 –> 00:39:31,500
for this money, go fuck
yourself.

837
00:39:32,100 –> 00:39:35,200
I like being around a.
Yeah I wanna I want the good

838
00:39:35,200 –> 00:39:36,700
ones.
I’m gonna have Chinese ones.

839
00:39:37,900 –> 00:39:40,200
Those are good pairs.
Oh yeah, I could Tanaka got me

840
00:39:40,200 –> 00:39:41,500
on that shit.
Asian pears.

841
00:39:41,500 –> 00:39:44,200
I did a gig with her and she was
like we have to stop at store.

842
00:39:44,200 –> 00:39:48,200
If I don’t eat pair, I die.
That’s if that’s her sounds like

843
00:39:48,200 –> 00:39:50,900
a Isis.
I’m doing a 20% less racist.

844
00:39:50,900 –> 00:39:53,300
I cook talking about She’s the
funniest bitch over here.

845
00:39:53,300 –> 00:39:56,800
It’s good for me.
Yes, yes sir, I got it.

846
00:39:57,600 –> 00:40:03,100
The last person I saw a Shadow
Boxing was Damon Wayans, he did

847
00:40:03,100 –> 00:40:08,100
Junior or senior senior, I was
producing a show at Westside,

848
00:40:08,100 –> 00:40:11,600
comedy theater, a few years ago,
and Damon Wayans dropped in.

849
00:40:11,600 –> 00:40:17,300
He shows up there, he dropped
in, as if he was in, 1987 walked

850
00:40:17,300 –> 00:40:21,700
through a door and it was the
stage in 2014.

851
00:40:21,900 –> 00:40:26,500
Yeah, because his set was just
it was the most homophobic awful

852
00:40:26,900 –> 00:40:29,800
like we took a picture at one
point and he yelled at the guy

853
00:40:29,800 –> 00:40:32,600
and was like are you taking
video to ruin my career?

854
00:40:33,300 –> 00:40:35,500
It’s like are you telling us try
to come down here and blow off

855
00:40:35,500 –> 00:40:38,300
some steam and tell ya?
I really feel about these swishy

856
00:40:38,300 –> 00:40:40,100
guys out there wearing their
pink pants.

857
00:40:40,100 –> 00:40:40,700
Go fuck.
Yeah.

858
00:40:40,700 –> 00:40:44,100
Pull him up and meanwhile, he’s
dressed like Paul Mooney and has

859
00:40:44,100 –> 00:40:46,300
material that’s as offensive as
any more obvious.

860
00:40:46,300 –> 00:40:47,800
Imagine he’s doing Denis.
Leary Zach.

861
00:40:47,800 –> 00:40:50,600
How about coffee flavor, coffee.
I would dad, you know.

862
00:40:50,700 –> 00:40:53,000
Yeah.
He and he I’m too pretty hard

863
00:40:53,000 –> 00:40:56,500
and then he came back two weeks
later and before the his set was

864
00:40:56,500 –> 00:41:00,200
fucking Shadow Boxing in the
corner and came out and fucking

865
00:41:00,200 –> 00:41:02,300
murdered.
Maybe that’s maybe that’s what

866
00:41:02,300 –> 00:41:05,200
he needed.
He forgot to shadow box, I got

867
00:41:05,200 –> 00:41:07,800
to get the blood flowing,
there’s nothing funnier and I’ve

868
00:41:07,800 –> 00:41:09,700
someone tweeted this long time
ago but I think about all the

869
00:41:09,700 –> 00:41:12,100
time when someone limbers up
right before they go bomb you

870
00:41:12,100 –> 00:41:14,800
know everyone was stretching
like yeah I want to make sure

871
00:41:14,900 –> 00:41:18,000
it’s right.
I gotta make sure my hamstrings

872
00:41:18,000 –> 00:41:21,800
loose for this bag.
So yeah this term it was coined

873
00:41:21,900 –> 00:41:25,200
Joined by a conservative Author,
Peter brimelow, who is a

874
00:41:25,200 –> 00:41:29,600
forefather of our current white
nationalist, political movement.

875
00:41:29,600 –> 00:41:33,300
The, the alt-right, if you will,
he use the phrase in a December

876
00:41:33,300 –> 00:41:36,500
2000, website, post, Bill
O’Reilly called it a National

877
00:41:36,500 –> 00:41:40,900
Emergency in 2004 and then this
guy named John Gibson, writes, a

878
00:41:40,900 –> 00:41:42,400
book called The War on
Christmas.

879
00:41:42,400 –> 00:41:45,500
How the liberal plot to ban the
sacred Christian holiday is

880
00:41:45,500 –> 00:41:47,900
worse than you thought Jesus
long title.

881
00:41:48,000 –> 00:41:50,400
It’s a very long title.
Is that two books?

882
00:41:51,900 –> 00:41:56,800
And they this book was featured
on a Fox News segment and it

883
00:41:56,800 –> 00:42:00,100
actually, dealt more with stuff
like people thinking hanging a

884
00:42:00,100 –> 00:42:03,400
picture of Santa Claus was
unconstitutional.

885
00:42:03,500 –> 00:42:04,700
Yeah.
When it’s like now, it’s not

886
00:42:04,700 –> 00:42:07,500
that it’s not a war on
Christmas.

887
00:42:07,500 –> 00:42:11,300
It’s a it’s church and state.
Yeah.

888
00:42:11,300 –> 00:42:13,000
That’s of course
unconstitutional because could

889
00:42:13,000 –> 00:42:14,400
have sano’s property of
Coca-Cola.

890
00:42:14,400 –> 00:42:16,900
You gotta act like fucking those
polar bears.

891
00:42:16,900 –> 00:42:22,100
Want the rent but Bill O’Reilly
took the fact that That this

892
00:42:22,100 –> 00:42:27,000
book was published and just kind
of ran in a war on Christmas

893
00:42:27,200 –> 00:42:29,700
angle with it.
And what’s really interesting at

894
00:42:29,700 –> 00:42:34,200
one point, he remember he was
asking calling for boycotts

895
00:42:34,200 –> 00:42:37,600
throughout most of the mid-2000s
if you didn’t.

896
00:42:37,700 –> 00:42:40,900
I mean agree with George Bush.
He was going to ask people to

897
00:42:40,900 –> 00:42:44,600
boycott you.
Yeah, we need to boycott Steve

898
00:42:44,600 –> 00:42:47,400
in Minnesota.
Yeah, France member, he wanted

899
00:42:47,400 –> 00:42:49,600
us to boycott France.
Oh yeah.

900
00:42:49,600 –> 00:42:54,100
Yeah, because they, they started
calling Like french fry like

901
00:42:54,100 –> 00:42:55,600
people start you don’t rise.
Yeah.

902
00:42:55,600 –> 00:42:57,400
Freedom fries because it didn’t
join.

903
00:42:57,400 –> 00:43:00,800
The Coalition will be coalition
was just you know the United

904
00:43:00,800 –> 00:43:03,600
States and England kind of
fucking Australia.

905
00:43:03,600 –> 00:43:06,000
I think a little yeah there’s a
strange things like six guys,

906
00:43:06,000 –> 00:43:08,100
you know.
Yeah that’s all we have.

907
00:43:08,200 –> 00:43:14,000
Yeah everyone else is surfeit.
Only got two cities at one

908
00:43:14,000 –> 00:43:15,700
point.
He most of them are full of

909
00:43:15,700 –> 00:43:18,200
people.
Haven’t petrol, not exactly.

910
00:43:18,200 –> 00:43:20,700
First class troops will do our
best.

911
00:43:21,900 –> 00:43:25,300
He, he launched a naughty list
of retailers that should be

912
00:43:25,300 –> 00:43:27,000
boycotted.
How Christmas like of an

913
00:43:27,000 –> 00:43:30,400
excellent branding.
Yeah, for sure, including Sears

914
00:43:30,400 –> 00:43:34,400
Kmart, Cole’s Target, Walmart,
and Costco, not fucking shops at

915
00:43:34,400 –> 00:43:38,200
Kohl’s.
I’ve been hoping that goals and

916
00:43:38,200 –> 00:43:41,200
Kenneth Cole would merge to just
become Kenneth Cole’s.

917
00:43:41,300 –> 00:43:43,300
Oh yeah.
I think I think that that might

918
00:43:43,300 –> 00:43:45,400
bring a little more.
That would be cool if you more

919
00:43:45,400 –> 00:43:47,000
shop.
One of my bits in my head was

920
00:43:47,000 –> 00:43:49,400
whenever I’d see a piece of
Calvin Klein stuff with the seek

921
00:43:49,400 –> 00:43:51,700
a monogram on it.
I just imagined Louis c.k. where

922
00:43:51,900 –> 00:43:55,400
Get like a black and white like
my Calvin’s.

923
00:43:55,400 –> 00:43:59,200
Yeah, Julie is his tummy’s.
Just like brimming.

924
00:43:59,400 –> 00:44:02,100
Yeah, it’s always I every time I
see it.

925
00:44:02,100 –> 00:44:04,500
I think about it makes me that’s
a good inside your head bit.

926
00:44:04,500 –> 00:44:07,000
If you guys want to enjoy that
one, it’s go ahead.

927
00:44:07,200 –> 00:44:08,800
I’m just posing with the
Kardashians.

928
00:44:08,800 –> 00:44:11,200
Yeah, exactly.
It’s just him but they make it

929
00:44:11,200 –> 00:44:13,800
look like they get like they
have Blake Griffin or something

930
00:44:13,800 –> 00:44:16,000
but it’s Louis being fat as
shit.

931
00:44:17,400 –> 00:44:20,900
I like the Kmart’s on this list.
There’s a Kmart walking distance

932
00:44:20,900 –> 00:44:24,200
for me and We time I pass it.
I’m like huh, just do the Kmart

933
00:44:24,200 –> 00:44:25,600
here.
Do they still make that model?

934
00:44:25,700 –> 00:44:28,300
Yeah.
The Blockbuster of and buying

935
00:44:28,300 –> 00:44:32,100
badge, you underestimate how
much shit they don’t have an

936
00:44:32,100 –> 00:44:35,000
Associated are inside a Kmart.
I went there looking for sous

937
00:44:35,000 –> 00:44:38,700
vide bags, which every cuz you
do your department store, you

938
00:44:38,700 –> 00:44:41,800
got to have a sous-vide bag,
it’s a sous-vide bag.

939
00:44:41,800 –> 00:44:44,300
Well, it’s her like it’s kind of
like pressure cooking but it’s a

940
00:44:44,308 –> 00:44:47,700
little bit different.
It’s it’s a method of slow

941
00:44:47,700 –> 00:44:51,800
cooking that just uses really
just kind of warm water and

942
00:44:51,900 –> 00:44:54,700
Motion of the water to cook
food, and then you take it out

943
00:44:54,700 –> 00:44:58,500
and sear it, finish it on the
stovetop, or in the oven, and it

944
00:44:58,500 –> 00:45:01,500
Cooks, meet fucking perfect.
Oh, you put them in these bags

945
00:45:01,500 –> 00:45:03,700
and that’s what the Sioux.
Yeah, interesting.

946
00:45:03,700 –> 00:45:08,400
And I needed some and I went to
Kmart none, they had Su vids but

947
00:45:08,400 –> 00:45:10,900
no sous-vide bags.
Like that’s that’s that’s an

948
00:45:10,908 –> 00:45:12,700
oversight for a retailer.
Yeah.

949
00:45:12,700 –> 00:45:14,500
I mean no boycott them for that?
Yeah.

950
00:45:14,500 –> 00:45:18,000
I agree and aside from and they
didn’t have typewriter ribbons.

951
00:45:18,000 –> 00:45:22,400
What the fuck am I here for
aside from Costco, like Of these

952
00:45:22,400 –> 00:45:25,800
stores are, you know,
economically considered inferior

953
00:45:25,800 –> 00:45:27,500
Goods.
So mean it’s going to be places

954
00:45:27,500 –> 00:45:31,200
that like a lot of people who
are not doing well, we’ll shop

955
00:45:31,200 –> 00:45:33,500
at but you know, if they’re
people who are also not doing

956
00:45:33,500 –> 00:45:35,400
well and they also happen to be,
you know, super Christian or

957
00:45:35,408 –> 00:45:39,600
super right wing, you know, it’s
really gonna, you know, be a

958
00:45:39,600 –> 00:45:41,300
moral dilemma for them.
Right.

959
00:45:41,300 –> 00:45:43,600
Yeah.
And because they have more money

960
00:45:43,600 –> 00:45:46,500
because they’re sort of play the
game, you know, and a lot of gas

961
00:45:46,500 –> 00:45:48,400
don’t really want to.
I’m one of them.

962
00:45:48,400 –> 00:45:51,200
I don’t like the rules that
you’ve put into place.

963
00:45:51,900 –> 00:45:55,200
It I would gladly, you know burn
my social security card tomorrow

964
00:45:55,200 –> 00:45:57,800
if I could I don’t like the that
I had that I was just born into

965
00:45:57,800 –> 00:46:00,000
this and I have to put up with
it but it’s like yeah, they’re

966
00:46:00,000 –> 00:46:02,600
just a goody two-shoes to just
like well yeah then I’ll, you

967
00:46:02,600 –> 00:46:05,800
know, I’ll show up early to work
so I can make 950 an hour and

968
00:46:05,800 –> 00:46:08,300
then they do that for 35 years
and then they’ve also said they

969
00:46:08,308 –> 00:46:10,800
got all the fucking money.
You know, that’s there.

970
00:46:10,800 –> 00:46:12,900
The people that can make the
decisions to keep these kind of

971
00:46:12,900 –> 00:46:14,600
places, you know, the humming
through.

972
00:46:14,600 –> 00:46:18,300
Yes.
And it seems like the his

973
00:46:18,300 –> 00:46:21,700
boycott kind of worked because
not long after that.

974
00:46:21,800 –> 00:46:23,800
Boycott Federated Department
Stores.

975
00:46:23,800 –> 00:46:26,800
Officially encouraged employees
to greet customers with merry

976
00:46:26,800 –> 00:46:29,200
Christmas instead of happy
holidays.

977
00:46:29,400 –> 00:46:32,300
And most of the department
stores that he called for

978
00:46:32,300 –> 00:46:36,100
boycotts on also did the same
thing shortly thereafter.

979
00:46:36,500 –> 00:46:40,300
Which point he declared Victory
and then kept saying there was a

980
00:46:40,300 –> 00:46:42,900
war on Christmas for like
another 10 years after that.

981
00:46:43,200 –> 00:46:47,300
Yeah the thing of that about
department store ceramic saying

982
00:46:47,300 –> 00:46:50,300
Merry Christmas I know.
Like it’s I’ve said that it so

983
00:46:50,400 –> 00:46:53,400
it’s important for companies
He’s to secularize because they

984
00:46:53,400 –> 00:46:57,100
want people’s business.
But if I’m at JCPenney for

985
00:46:57,100 –> 00:47:00,100
example and they say merry
Christmas as I’m leaving the

986
00:47:00,100 –> 00:47:03,200
cash register and I’m not super
Christian.

987
00:47:03,200 –> 00:47:06,500
I don’t it doesn’t offend me
greatly.

988
00:47:06,600 –> 00:47:08,500
It’s just like, just don’t.
Yeah I don’t know.

989
00:47:08,500 –> 00:47:11,100
I don’t give a fuck.
Like yeah, I’m not offended

990
00:47:11,100 –> 00:47:14,300
whatsoever.
Yeah I don’t care and I think

991
00:47:14,600 –> 00:47:16,600
I’m sure there’s plenty of you
know Jewish people in Muslim

992
00:47:16,600 –> 00:47:18,700
people who also don’t care.
They’re just buying things like

993
00:47:18,700 –> 00:47:21,600
okay, that’s their deal, they
don’t know who I am, fine.

994
00:47:21,800 –> 00:47:23,700
Yeah, I don’t need to have a
conversation about it.

995
00:47:23,700 –> 00:47:26,800
I’m just saying, just don’t tell
my children as they’re going

996
00:47:26,800 –> 00:47:29,500
through school, that evolution
is not real.

997
00:47:29,700 –> 00:47:31,200
Yeah, yeah.
That’s just much more

998
00:47:31,200 –> 00:47:34,300
substantial.
Yeah, I gotta pee but just do it

999
00:47:34,300 –> 00:47:35,500
without me, I’ll be right back
before.

1000
00:47:35,800 –> 00:47:40,300
It’s it blows my mind.
That, you know, that also that

1001
00:47:40,300 –> 00:47:43,700
people get offended when people
don’t see Merry Christmas and

1002
00:47:43,700 –> 00:47:46,200
that people do get offended.
When people say Merry Christmas

1003
00:47:46,200 –> 00:47:49,600
like you the best you can do is
like hey that’s not my thing but

1004
00:47:49,800 –> 00:47:50,900
good on you.
Yeah.

1005
00:47:50,900 –> 00:47:54,600
And I Appreciate the sentiment.
Sure, you wish that I have a

1006
00:47:54,600 –> 00:47:58,800
happy December 25th.
Yeah, I wonder pretty regularly.

1007
00:47:58,800 –> 00:48:02,300
How many people are actually
getting offended opposed to it

1008
00:48:02,300 –> 00:48:06,600
being like one person makes a
YouTube video then that YouTube

1009
00:48:06,600 –> 00:48:09,800
video gets played on Fox News
and now people are offended.

1010
00:48:09,800 –> 00:48:13,500
Yeah but before that it like I
think this is a case where a lot

1011
00:48:13,500 –> 00:48:16,800
of people need to be told that
they should be offended before

1012
00:48:16,800 –> 00:48:18,200
they actually are.
Yeah.

1013
00:48:18,200 –> 00:48:21,700
And if you’re an immigrant who’s
listening or your the Sun,

1014
00:48:21,800 –> 00:48:25,100
Daughter of immigrants.
And you are you’d want to feel

1015
00:48:25,100 –> 00:48:27,800
like you belong and you feel
like your culture is not been

1016
00:48:27,800 –> 00:48:31,200
accepted.
Then I, I can understand as best

1017
00:48:31,200 –> 00:48:34,100
I can understand.
But like, right, I also feel

1018
00:48:34,100 –> 00:48:36,400
like there’s a contingent of
people who are immigrants, who

1019
00:48:36,400 –> 00:48:40,000
are very eager to assimilate,
and they want to celebrate

1020
00:48:40,000 –> 00:48:42,600
Christmas because that’s, it’s
more of an American holiday than

1021
00:48:42,600 –> 00:48:44,100
it.
He’s even a Christian holiday,

1022
00:48:44,100 –> 00:48:45,600
right?
It’s a consumer thing now.

1023
00:48:45,600 –> 00:48:49,200
Yeah, absolutely, my buddy, he’s
one of my oldest friends is for

1024
00:48:49,300 –> 00:48:53,600
his parents are from Iran.
They came To America in the 70s

1025
00:48:53,600 –> 00:48:58,600
or 80s and they in he’s we grew
up going to school together and

1026
00:48:58,800 –> 00:49:02,300
his family’s technically Muslim,
I mean by like their Heritage

1027
00:49:02,300 –> 00:49:04,500
and everything, right?
They always had a fucking

1028
00:49:04,500 –> 00:49:07,100
Christmas tree.
I know atheists who buy

1029
00:49:07,100 –> 00:49:08,900
Christmas trees, at least it’s
fun.

1030
00:49:08,900 –> 00:49:10,900
It’s fun to decorate a tree
sometimes.

1031
00:49:10,900 –> 00:49:13,500
Yeah, it’s fun.
It’s fun to give gifts to

1032
00:49:13,500 –> 00:49:15,400
people, you care about and
that’s all.

1033
00:49:15,400 –> 00:49:17,100
I think that’s all that I’m with
you on the trees.

1034
00:49:17,100 –> 00:49:19,100
Not the gifts.
I don’t think you should show

1035
00:49:19,100 –> 00:49:21,600
people too much afraid.
It’s that, you know, and I know,

1036
00:49:21,700 –> 00:49:23,400
You’re not as much of an
affection, guys.

1037
00:49:23,400 –> 00:49:24,800
I live a mouse.
A cookie Stewart.

1038
00:49:25,700 –> 00:49:27,900
I like getting each a man to
wrap gifts.

1039
00:49:27,900 –> 00:49:31,200
Yes, exactly.
And he and he was wealthy for a

1040
00:49:31,200 –> 00:49:33,800
lifetime in the answer.
Again, again, with most like

1041
00:49:33,800 –> 00:49:37,700
dumb fights is the answer should
be who gives a shit and I think,

1042
00:49:37,700 –> 00:49:40,900
yeah, I feel like if you were to
talk to most of these, like non

1043
00:49:40,900 –> 00:49:43,800
Bill O’Reilly type anchors, most
even the ones that foxes I’m

1044
00:49:43,800 –> 00:49:45,000
sure plenty of them.
Don’t give a shit.

1045
00:49:45,100 –> 00:49:47,900
No, they’re just, they’re handed
a memo of like, here’s what you

1046
00:49:47,900 –> 00:49:50,700
got to say.
And, but in a day, but then the

1047
00:49:50,700 –> 00:49:53,400
there’s people Who are, who
believe them?

1048
00:49:53,400 –> 00:49:54,700
They believe the rhetoric.
Yeah.

1049
00:49:54,700 –> 00:49:56,700
And they you know the kind of
people you’re talking about

1050
00:49:56,700 –> 00:49:59,000
earlier Connor who just like
well this is what this guy or

1051
00:49:59,000 –> 00:50:00,700
gal says, I’m just going to
follow blind.

1052
00:50:00,700 –> 00:50:03,100
Yeah, into the night when you
think.

1053
00:50:03,100 –> 00:50:06,500
And it’s exciting to think that
there’s someone out there who’s

1054
00:50:06,700 –> 00:50:08,200
out to get you.
Yeah.

1055
00:50:08,200 –> 00:50:11,600
That’s a motivating force Little
Hero complex, all.

1056
00:50:11,600 –> 00:50:13,100
Yeah.
Because even if you’re casually,

1057
00:50:13,100 –> 00:50:15,300
Christian, you’re just like,
well, they’re coming after.

1058
00:50:15,300 –> 00:50:18,900
Well, my family’s been all the
way since the Mayflower Roberta

1059
00:50:18,900 –> 00:50:20,700
benigni.
And it’s just like, shut your

1060
00:50:20,700 –> 00:50:22,700
fucking mouth.
Like, Like what doesn’t matter?

1061
00:50:22,700 –> 00:50:26,000
It’s it’s a wedge issue.
Yeah the kind of thing you can

1062
00:50:26,000 –> 00:50:29,200
rile up, it’s like abortion.
Like it’s a thing.

1063
00:50:29,200 –> 00:50:32,600
You can insert into the
discussion to rile people up in

1064
00:50:32,600 –> 00:50:34,900
a specific way for mostly for
votes.

1065
00:50:34,900 –> 00:50:37,200
What’s that great?
You know, the politics is the

1066
00:50:37,200 –> 00:50:40,600
entertainment division of the
military industrial complex has.

1067
00:50:40,600 –> 00:50:41,900
Yeah.
The hunter is times with

1068
00:50:41,900 –> 00:50:44,400
language, as one of those guys
where he says some good quotes

1069
00:50:44,400 –> 00:50:46,100
but you feel like a douche every
time you quoted.

1070
00:50:46,100 –> 00:50:47,600
Oh absolutely.
But it really.

1071
00:50:47,600 –> 00:50:49,600
Yeah, there it is.
Just like the six things where

1072
00:50:49,600 –> 00:50:51,600
it’s like other than that we’re
on more or less in the same.

1073
00:50:51,800 –> 00:50:55,100
Team about the capital gains tax
and, you know, all these things.

1074
00:50:55,100 –> 00:50:57,100
Yeah.
But it’s like, yeah, let’s just

1075
00:50:57,600 –> 00:51:00,200
do you guys take this out of
that one will take that side and

1076
00:51:00,200 –> 00:51:03,200
we’ll just duke it out you know.
Yeah certainly Hunter S

1077
00:51:03,200 –> 00:51:05,200
Thompson.
What a dick that guy was.

1078
00:51:05,400 –> 00:51:08,200
Oh yeah you know he killed her
he called his wife when he

1079
00:51:08,207 –> 00:51:10,900
killed himself he was like she
heard it.

1080
00:51:10,900 –> 00:51:12,500
Oh yeah.
Have you ever heard that suicide

1081
00:51:12,500 –> 00:51:14,300
note.
Yeah one of the best suicide

1082
00:51:14,300 –> 00:51:16,400
notes.
Yeah it sounds really

1083
00:51:16,400 –> 00:51:18,400
well-written value.
Football season’s over.

1084
00:51:18,400 –> 00:51:20,300
It’s a quick read.
It’s like a paragraph.

1085
00:51:20,300 –> 00:51:22,700
Go check it out if you haven’t.
It’s good stuff.

1086
00:51:22,700 –> 00:51:24,100
Okay, I get it.
I’m a football fan.

1087
00:51:24,200 –> 00:51:29,300
So let’s close on a really
interesting side.

1088
00:51:29,300 –> 00:51:33,300
Note in all of this, there is
one time throughout history when

1089
00:51:33,300 –> 00:51:37,800
Christmas was actually banned
and it was banned by Christians

1090
00:51:38,100 –> 00:51:44,400
ending meaning in 1659 lawmakers
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony

1091
00:51:44,500 –> 00:51:47,300
issued to the Bay.
Shout out to the Bay they

1092
00:51:47,300 –> 00:51:50,300
brought us Bay Seasoning
thankful for that probably big

1093
00:51:50,300 –> 00:51:54,600
fan of their leaves.
Yeah, issued an edict out onto

1094
00:51:54,600 –> 00:51:59,100
white too short as also from
Massachusetts Bay spells it with

1095
00:51:59,100 –> 00:52:00,400
the regular ass in the dollar
sign.

1096
00:52:00,500 –> 00:52:01,200
Yeah.
No dollar sign.

1097
00:52:01,300 –> 00:52:04,400
Yeah.
They issued an edict outlawing.

1098
00:52:04,400 –> 00:52:08,000
The observance of Christmas and
other quote superstitious

1099
00:52:08,000 –> 00:52:08,900
holidays.
Yeah.

1100
00:52:08,900 –> 00:52:10,800
Christmas is a pagan holiday.
Yeah.

1101
00:52:11,300 –> 00:52:14,800
They were they were Puritans and
they co-opted they found took

1102
00:52:14,800 –> 00:52:16,900
it, you know it’s like it’s like
when coffee beans started doing

1103
00:52:16,900 –> 00:52:19,100
the flat white, they’re just
trying to get in on it, make a

1104
00:52:19,100 –> 00:52:21,600
buck.
They, they found things like

1105
00:52:21,700 –> 00:52:24,700
Feasting and gift-giving to be
ungodly.

1106
00:52:24,700 –> 00:52:29,100
So they banned Christmas at last
that band lasted 22 years but

1107
00:52:29,100 –> 00:52:31,200
Christmas survived still a
thing.

1108
00:52:31,300 –> 00:52:34,000
Yeah, yeah.
And if anyone has been known to

1109
00:52:34,000 –> 00:52:38,100
be a party pooper in America, it
was the Puritan settlers in the

1110
00:52:38,100 –> 00:52:42,000
1600s those people left England
because they thought the English

1111
00:52:42,000 –> 00:52:45,100
were to, to lollygag.
Yeah, right.

1112
00:52:45,100 –> 00:52:48,800
You crazy with their crew like
they were like, oh we’re gonna

1113
00:52:48,800 –> 00:52:52,200
you’re gonna allow divorce.

Yeah, I don’t want to share a
shower with that many people.

1130
00:53:28,000 –> 00:53:30,800
Well, fuck it.
That’s why I don’t go to the gym

I Never Shout at the gym in my
life.

I actually have a lot of times

1135
00:53:41,100 –> 00:53:44,200
because I used to, like, when I
was working day jobs, I would

1136
00:53:44,200 –> 00:53:46,600
stop on the way home, go to gym
and I don’t want to fucking

1137
00:53:46,700 –> 00:53:48,700
drive home, all gross.
