Happy National Roast Suckling Pig Day.

Scott.

Thank you.

Chris, the Jewish American princess.

Sarah, hello.

Our emotional support gay.

Nick, it's me.

I'm a gay.

The wise man, Darren.com.

I wish he spoke proper English.

And our producer, Alex.

I'm just Scott, but with hair.

Well, we've been.

We've been waiting for about an hour.

Sarah's had some technical problems, but we think we've got some of them sorted out.

We can hear her now.

It doesn't sound like she's at a phone booth, so that's a win.

Sarah, how are you today?

I could be a lot better.

Well, listen, don't buy the discounted computers.

I didn't.

It's a.

It's a great computer.

I don't know what's going on.

Listen, I.

I'm just glad you're Here.

So right before we started recording.

Chris, this is your daughter's first Christmas.

It is, yeah.

It's her first Christmas.

Yeah.

She will never remember it, but we will.

You will.

You will.

Do you have any things planned?

Like, like, I mean, yeah, Opening presents?

Of course.

Well, like, are you doing any.

Are you, are you, you know, trying to start any traditions?

Oh, yeah.

Well, I bought her a cameo from Eddie De.

And so that's coming in.

No, you know what?

All, all comedy aside, I have this actually really cool tradition that ever since I was little, my dad would read me and my sister the night before Christmas.

And I, my parents bought me a book inside.

You know, to Chris, love Mom and D.

When I was little.

And Emily actually just got me my own night before Christmas book so I could read to Ellie every, every year.

Oh, cool.

Before.

And you know what the weirdest part is?

It's like the perfect storm.

First of all, my sister's sleeping over that night because she has to work on Christmas.

She's a first responder.

I guess she's a second responder because the police would respond first.

Then she's the nurse, she would respond second.

So she's a second responder and she does have to work Christmas.

So she's sleeping over so she can open some presents with.

Spend the morning with Ellie.

She didn't want to sleep over to spend the morning with me and Emily was for my daugh.

But that's okay.

Yeah, I'm always second fiddle now.

But anyway, so this.

So my sister will be over so we can read the book together to her, which is really cool because my dad read it to us when we were growing up, so now me and my sister can read it to my daughter.

Pretty cool.

But the weirdest part about it is Emily bought this book because she liked the art and it's really cool.

The, the pictures are really neat.

On one of the page, Santa has a naughty or nice list.

And he has the nice list out.

And the first name on his nice list is Ellie.

Wow.

And it.

And Emily had no idea.

It was like the strangest thing.

That's really cool.

Yeah, pretty cool.

So really excited to, really excited to.

To start that tradition this year.

And I, I, you know, my favorite thing that I get to start is eating cookies.

Like, you know, it's acceptable this year, right?

I, you know, every other year it's frowned upon.

I get yelled at.

My daughter tells me, stop, stop, stop.

On Christmas Eve, no one can tell.

Me no because Ellie has to put out cookies and cookies for Santa Yeah, yeah.

Why would Chris eat them?

But if Santa.

Chris might.

Exactly.

Because if you leave, like, Santa always takes a bite of the cookie.

Listen, we all know that Santa always takes a bite.

I get to eat the rest now.

Yeah, he leaves a little bit.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm a big milk guy, too.

I'm a huge, huge.

I was Anastasia milk.

I don't like eggnog.

I like coquito, but I don't like eggnog.

Sarah, you coquito guy.

Cow.

No.

Well, no, not really.

Okay.

Don't.

Don't let Louis know that.

No, they take them like just straight shots.

Lewis likes it just on ice.

I can't do it.

Interesting.

Yeah.

This may be the end of their marriage, Chris.

I know.

We're going to have to cut that, Alex.

No, in fact, so Kokito, for those who don't know, is a Puerto freaking eggnog.

And it's so popular when.

Whenever we have our Christmas parties.

One of my.

One of my aids that are an aid to the drivers that I employ.

Aids.

I know.

I'm trying to phrase this.

Sorry, Trying to phrase this in a certain way.

One of my employees.

Oh.

This older Puerto Rican woman, she smuggles coquito into the restaurant that we have our.

Our holiday.

Our Christmas party, which is always really fun.

She's.

What else is she smuggling?

I'll tell you guys after the podcast.

Yeah, so I.

I love Christmas.

And, you know, you guys know that we do the Polar Express sleepover and.

And whatnot, but something that's really cool in.

In nicer neighborhoods.

I don't know if everybody on this podcast has experienced this, but when Santa comes by on the fire truck.

Oh, wow.

We actually all got to enjoy that together before.

We did.

We did.

Yeah.

I get super excited.

All the last two years.

I've missed it.

I was at work this year, and then last year I decided to take a nap, and in my dream, I'm being chased by police, and I wake up.

I'm like, oh, my God, it's Santa.

And I come running downstairs just in time for him to turn down to the next street.

So I just got to see his backside.

But nice backside of Santa.

Weird.

Weird thing about that is usually comes around around dinner time.

Supper, if you will.

And then he'll arrive around dinner time.

That's.

That's the first time I actually ever said the word supper.

But anyway, so I.

I don't like.

I hate that word, by the way.

Horrible word.

Horrible word.

Great word for a.

Grandparents would use it in a few years.

Yes, sir.

The only word my dad used.

Yeah, that's okay.

I'm sorry.

You're Jewish, so it's, it's fine.

My parents.

Jewish thing, I think.

I think it's a Jewish thing.

Jewish and German, ironically.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Because if you say it with like a Jewish like New York grandmother accent, it sounds supernatural.

Time for supper.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Is it time for supper yet?

That's way better.

Darren Scott's was like Italian.

Yeah.

I don't know what mine was, but yeah, I, I, my parent.

My mom still says supper and I.

It makes me cringe.

It's like I would rather hear the word moisture than supper.

Supper's just.

Yeah.

So it was 9 o'clock when we got on here to record and all of a sudden I just hear sirens and I just assume it's another stabbing.

And I go outside and to my surprise, it's Santa.

But it's not just Santa.

It's Santa on the back of the truck.

And there's like, there's a, there's two paramedics, right?

There's two paramedics.

I guess just in case there is a stabbing.

Because I guess it's a.

It's just like, let's just throw them out there anyway, just in case.

Two fire trucks and, and I don't even know what kind of vehicle he was in.

A tr.

Being pulled in a trailer.

So I guess, you know what?

If you're a criminal.

If you're a criminal, the night that Santa is going around town would probably be the best time.

Like if you're an arsonist.

Oh my gosh.

It's like, think about it.

Feeding frenzy.

Light all the houses you want on fire.

On the night that Santa's going around.

They're using up all their, all their trucks.

Not a, not a bad, not a bad point.

Yeah, we should probably cut that.

But seriously.

And seriously, what are they doing?

Like, you know, when I was little, I used to love that.

Now that I pay taxes, it's like, why are you doing this?

Why are you doing this?

Just stay, stay at the firehouse and play cards.

Like, I, I am like, I, I'm watching him go down the street.

I'm like counting one Mississippi, two Mississippi.

Just, just counting all the emissions coming out of there, the exhaust pipes.

Knowing that I'm paying for all the gas.

That's me.

That's being spent to refuel that fire truck.

Yeah, they started doing Santa in our neighborhood during COVID And it's on the fire truck as well too.

But he has like no.

Nobody else accompanying.

It's literally just a fire truck rolling through.

And they don't.

Like we stood outside like trying to wave and it's literally like a quick drive by, like didn't even slow down to stop.

And he's sitting in the front seat because it's cold outside, so he's got the heat on.

And see, my taxes are really high.

I think that's why they do a real slow roll by.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Nick, what kind of.

What kind of holiday traditions do you all do?

So Sean usually works Christmas Eve, so I usually spend it alone.

But we.

The past couple years I've actually been going out to my neighbors and doing like a friend's Christmas Eve type thing with them and just hang out with them.

So it's been a fun time doing that.

And then we'll wake up Christmas morning when Santa comes.

Sometimes he comes at night time, sometimes.

It comes during the day.

Yeah, he comes multiple times.

He's never coming during the day for me.

He just comes whenever he wants.

I've been very naughty, so Santa's always coming for me.

So we did the presents in the morning and then he arrives.

He's just hanging out with us now.

There's some really hot daddy Santa pictures this year I've seen.

I'm.

I'm almost turned on by Santa now, I think.

Oh, really?

Oh, wow.

Good for you.

I just.

I just wanted to admit that that.

Would be a fun little dress up play date with you and Sean does.

Him dressing up as Santa.

Yeah.

One of you dress up a Santa.

One of you is the right.

Well, no.

I could be a hell of an elf.

There you go.

Chris already has the costume for the elf, so.

And the height.

Yeah.

Christmas.

We've started our own traditions the past few years.

We don't go back to my hometown Alima anymore.

We try to keep it here just because it got too much with traveling and stuff.

Sure.

We have my parents come down here now, so we do Christmas Eve at my brother's house.

And it's just a nice small gathering now.

It's not as crazy as it used to be, which is unnice.

Yeah.

Sarah, what about you?

What do you all do?

Well, we're bad this year.

We don't even have a tree or anything.

I know.

We're like super not festive this year.

Not even the menorah?

Not.

Yeah, the menorah.

That doesn't start yet until we put that out the night of.

And I don't even know if.

I mean I should.

I Should.

It's a candle.

It's more than just a candle.

Well, it's a.

It's a.

It's like multiple candles.

Yeah, yeah.

It's a candlestick.

It's not like you have to go to the tree farm and pick one out and decorate it.

You just, you put the candle holder up and you put the candles in.

You light it.

You know, we've talked in the past about my little end cap at the grocery stores.

You know how difficult it can be to find Hanukkah candles sometimes because realistically they're supposed to be made in Israel.

So you have to make sure that they were made in Israel.

So sometimes it's hard to find them.

It's hard to find them.

Where do you live?

Iran.

What about like, isn't there Jewish Amazon or Amazon?

I never thought about that.

Wow.

Of everything I buy online, I never thought about Amazon.

Okay.

That's my first step.

Yeah, I feel like there would be authentic Hanukkah candles on.

On the Amazon.

Yeah, Scott ever thinks of the Amazon either.

That's just because he doesn't like the people.

Stop.

As a real Jew, I still have like a quarter of a box somewhere next to the menorah in storage.

So, you know, we have the first couple nights.

I think it's really funny that that's the thing that you decide to be loyal to.

Like, that's that' that you're gonna stick to.

We've got to buy the right kind of candles for the menorah.

I do pick and choose what I like to follow, that's for sure.

I love that.

I love that.

Yes, yes.

But realistically, we are apparently having brunch at my in laws.

So that's everybody's gonna be together and we will have some gifts for the girls.

But we buy experiences now.

We're not doing tangible gifts anymore.

So both the girls out of the Santa phase?

No.

What is the Santa face?

Hyundai makes litter.

It's a crossover suv.

So how.

Wait, how do you explain that to the younger one?

What do you mean Santa's bringing experiences?

Well, no, Sano still brings gifts, so there will still be some.

But like from us, it's it experiences now.

Okay, so last year we went to Puerto Rico and then this year we've got something else planned just in case anybody listens or is still awake.

Oh.

Oh, okay.

Gotcha.

Yes.

Yes.

But it's going to be amazing.

Okay, Very cool.

Darren, what's your favorite?

I.

I know what you do and I know your holiday traditions.

What's Your favorite.

And why is it my birthday?

It's not your birthday this year.

This year was fun though.

I.

So for reasons I won't go into, but I, I do not like this time of year.

I have a very hard time this time of year when it comes to doing activities.

But I would say probably my favorite, it's probably watching Christmas Vacation.

This is my all time favorite Christmas movie in the entire world.

It's a great one.

It's a great one.

Did you say it was your birthday?

I did.

Oh, wow.

Well, I, you know, birthday, you know, I know your birthday was the other day, but we don't have deep pockets like, like your wife, so.

So we weren't able to get together a.

A fun to be able to get you a cameo of an A lister right away.

We did chip in and were able to get somewhat of substance.

Okay.

Happy birthday, Scott.

Have you ever seen Rocket man or the Kingsman or.

Or maybe that new movie called Carry On?

I just watched Carry on the Other.

Ring starring none other than.

Not Jason Bateman, but the British.

No.

The Eagle.

Eagleton.

Edgerton.

Edgerton.

Yes.

Spoiler alert.

We were actually able to kind of pitch it and get Tarot Edgerton for you.

No.

Stop.

Without any further ado, Taron Edgerton, everybody.

Can you see Taryn?

Yes, hello, Scott.

My name's Taryn Edgarson.

And basically if your friends couldn't afford an A list celebrity, nor did they want to.

But Scott, you need to go to the gym and stop this weird obsession with the dog, right?

Or I will report you to the rspca.

Honestly, mate, stop bombing dogs.

It's not good, right?

The poor dog doesn't deserve it.

What did the poor dog do to you?

Yeah, yeah, Come here, Snoopy.

Come here while I bum you.

Nah, it doesn't work like that.

All right?

I will be keeping an eye on you.

Yeah, bestiality is a crime.

You dirty.

Everybody.

Ah, that was good.

So I do have more.

But hey, I did not know we were recording this week, so.

So there's no trickling in.

So maybe we'll have one a week for the next year.

Okay.

That was if anybody's ever interested in booking that guy, that is Englishman in Swansea for a dollar on cameo.

I, I literally said, please just say that you're someone famous from Wales like Taron Edgerton.

And then also my friend has a weird obsession with dogs and he made all that up.

I said nothing about the.

Any of that.

He, he, I guess he listens to the podcast.

So Scott, Scott just wanted to uh, you know, that was just super.

It took a lot for us to be able to.

It was a whole quarter for that.

So.

And so I just.

From the bottom of our heart, happy birthday.

Thank you.

From the Kingsman himself.

Yeah.

Well, Darren, you, you got you, you had a fun night the other night.

You went to Kobe Steakhouse.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Love, love me some cookies.

What's your head helicopter?

That.

Oh my God.

Oh, we went.

The beef.

Yeah, the, the beef Steakhouse.

The Kobe Steakhouse.

Kobe.

No.

Wow.

The Japanese steakhouse.

Yeah.

But you almost got shot at.

Yeah, the Russian mob is.

I've been, I joined Sarah and witness protection.

That's actually why she can't show herself.

The process of changing.

We got too close.

Not really a bad to hair day.

So what, what, what happened?

I, I, I still don't understand this story.

You were sending text messages, but I was busy, so I couldn't really keep up with it in real time.

Yeah.

So I went out to dinner to celebrate an anniversary.

And we were sat down at the table, there was two of us, and then there was a party of three.

All, all the way across from the table.

And then up walks another party of three.

This mom and her two children could tell that they were seemed like Russian, not really sure.

Talking in a Eastern European accent.

So it just had to be Russian.

Were they threatening Ukrainian people?

How did you know they were Russian?

They just.

Vodka, please.

Is it a tracksuit?

No, no tracksuit.

No tracksuit yet.

Do they have a video of Russian prostitutes peeing on Trump?

How did you know they were Russian?

I made an assumption.

I, I'm just like father, like sudden apple, but.

So the three of them sit down and then up walks Sarah.

Speaking of a tracksuit.

This man, full tracksuit, chain hanging out, slicked back hair, drink in his hand.

Russian man just slamming his drink on the table, very excited to be there.

You could tell he spent the 30 minutes he was waiting to be sat at the bar.

Okay.

And he decided he wanted to become my new best friend.

Oh, dad, I'm sorry.

I, I, I, my, my audio cat.

You said this is your dad?

Yeah, he decided he wanted to be my new best friend.

I told him, I was like, hey, I was on a podcast called no new friends or you can't can't talk to you.

And he was like, no, where are you from?

Oh, how's the weather here?

Just asking me all these questions about Florida.

I'm like, well, you know, how's the weather?

Correct.

And then it's good.

Yeah, it's good.

He could tell I was uninterested in talking to him.

So he just got up and walked away from his family.

Yeah, correct.

So he walks away.

Server comes, start taking everybody's orders at the table, and then he.

His wife orders a drink, and then he.

Vodka cocktail, maybe vodka.

But his.

He walks back up, double fisting drinks.

He's got a shot of, like, sake.

And then you can double fist at.

In public.

But I do whatever.

Me either.

Me either.

I was like.

I was like, whoa, man, you just gotta.

What's the address?

So wait, so you guys were sitting at, like, is it one of those places that cook the food in front of you?

Yeah, it's a Japanese steakhouse.

They cook the food in front of you.

Oh, yeah.

You guys don't have Kobe steakhouse.

You have, like, Benihana.

Yeah, yeah.

Place.

Yeah.

Okay, I was confused.

I'm like, you're just sharing tables with your friend now or.

No, that's right.

That's fair.

That's right.

So he walks back up, two drinks in his hands, and his wife is, like, screaming at him in Russian about something like, you can't ever do this again.

How do you know it was Russian?

Okay.

Some Eastern European language.

I'm sorry, was she like a mail order bride?

Oh.

Maybe.

Maybe I.

I should have.

I should have asked.

Yeah, that's.

That's my fault.

I'm not very good at conversations.

Always.

Just be blunt with them and just.

If he wants to be your friend.

Yeah, true.

Learn about him.

Just, like, be what with them?

Be one.

Be one with him.

All right, so you're getting fisted.

Doubly.

Doubly fisted.

Okay.

Russian screaming.

The server asks.

He's like, hey, what do you.

What do you want?

And he's like, ah, I'm such an easygoing guy.

I.

I'll just.

It'll be the easiest man you've ever served.

Just give me whatever's good.

So Nick says too.

And he's like, okay, well, do you want the steak?

Do you want.

He said, whatever is good.

So this I can see.

It's like the Grinch.

When the Grinch gets the idea to rob the.

Who's the server, just gets this big grin.

He's like, well, you know, if you want the best, we have this wagyu steak right here.

Oh, boy.

Oh, wow, man.

Doesn't even look at the menu.

And he's like, I'll take it.

The wagyu steak.

A hundred and fifty dollars.

Oh, just this one item.

A hundred and fifty dollars.

No big deal.

To the Russian mafia.

He said, have a good time.

You only live once.

Have a good time.

Yeah.

Correct, correct.

So he goes.

He gets this phenomenal wagyu steak.

At one point, the chef that came and, like, cooked the food, he was a little bit heavier set guy.

Yeah.

Pay extra for that picture.

For the chef coming.

Oh.

Again, what's the address?

It's already in your DMs.

There's fisting.

There's chefs coming.

It's.

I know a chef.

Oh.

So he's like, ah.

You know, you've never heard of a skinny chef.

And this chef is just like.

He cuts his character because, you know, like, at Japanese steakhouses, they're either actually from Japan.

Oh, Japanese volcano.

Yeah, yeah.

Or Japanese.

They play up the accent.

And he was like, wait, really?

They do fake accents?

Yeah, yeah.

Especially here in Orlando.

Their name tag says, like, Quan, but it's like, Ken or Bob.

I love that.

Yeah, they definitely put on a show.

That is great.

But, like, he.

He asked him.

He's like, oh, what'd you say?

And then he was like, never heard of a skinny chef?

And then he said, what did you say to me?

Like, it's straight up, like, no accent.

The clearest I could ever hear him.

What did you say to me?

Deep voice.

And the Russian guy just repeats it again, and he's like, okay.

I don't know if the chef was just over it or if he just respected him.

He's like, you know what?

You said it to me straight up.

I've never met Skinny Chef.

Correct, correct.

So he just continues on making the food.

Doesn't really conversate anymore.

Doesn't do any of the bits or anything.

He's just there making the food.

The most boring trip to a Japanese takeout I've ever been to.

They didn't do the volcano.

He stacked it up, and he was like, oh, volcano.

And then, like, immediately tore it down.

Volcano.

Not even like, oh.

It was like, once you in and out, he was like, oh, volcano.

And then, like, stabbed it immediately.

Yeah, correct.

So he cooked the food.

This man ate.

His wife also just not having a good time.

This man ate his entire, like, four plates of food because it kind of.

It came with just more or more than just the wagyu.

It came with, like, lobster.

It came with another type of steak, chicken.

He ate it all before his wife had even, like, began to, like, touch her rice.

Did you tell him I've never met a skinny Russian?

No, no, no, I didn't tell him that.

But he, like, leans over to me to get me to talk again.

And, like, I.

I'm on a date.

So he's like.

He's like, hey, do you.

Do you love her?

And I was like, what?

And he was like.

He was like, I loved her once.

But now she's fat and ugly.

Like, yeah, I loved her once.

Ten years ago.

Never, never get married.

Darren got into the parking lot on his way to his car.

Donated three more billion dollars to Ukraine.

So I was like.

I, like, laughed it off.

End of the meal.

They clean up everything.

This man's mad because, like, I'm not talking to him.

My date's not talking to him.

The other party of the table's not talking to him.

His wife gets up with his daughter.

And he looks like.

He looks at them, and then he looks at me and he's like, you know what?

You all suck.

Like, at the top of his lungs at this.

Like, the entire restaurant can hear.

The entire restaurant got silent and just turned their heads to look at us and was like.

He's like, you all suck.

You all don't know how to conversate, for you are awful company.

You should be ashamed of yourselves.

Throws this entire thing in front of his son.

Meanwhile, it's his son's birthday, so the entire, like, staff is, like, coming out with the drums, and they're like, happy birthday to you.

Bringing out this cake.

The sun's, like, about, like, tearing up.

And then they.

The family brought in, like, their own ice cream cake.

The ice cream cake they brought in, half melted.

Like, already destroyed.

How is this not a movie?

It should.

It felt like a movie.

I felt like I was living.

Like, I was like, cut the cameras.

All right, I'm on punked.

Where's Ashton?

Oh, my God.

Wow.

So then finally, the server brought the checks.

I paid, and then, like, I grabbed my data.

I was like, all right, we gotta get.

We gotta get out of here.

And then I just hear, like, the cocking of a bunch of.

Yeah.

Of a bunch of weapons.

And he was like, ah, there he is.

And I just was.

I booked it out of there.

Oh, it sounds like Tuesday for Chris.

Yeah, I mean, that's just walking down the street, so.

I'm glad you're okay.

Thank you.

Sounds like a great.

Great.

I'm not.

That would have been.

It's such a funny story.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Way funnier.

You got shanked by the Russian guy.

So.

Speaking of funny stories.

Don't know that it's funny, but I was thinking about this the other day, so in current events, we all have an alibi for.

For Luigi Mangioni.

No, no.

Well, we've all posted.

Everybody is posted on Facebook or Instagram where, you know, Luigi has helped them with chores or whatever, around the house or the shop or whatever.

But the point is, we all know who Luigi Mangione is.

Correct?

Yes.

Yeah, he's my.

He's my college roommate.

He was on my couch the other day.

Yeah.

On December 4th, 6am, delivers the pizzas.

With my friend Mario.

Right.

Sarah, you know who Luigi is?

Luigi Mangioni.

I kind of.

Yeah.

Okay, so he's.

He's.

Alleged assassination of the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.

Does anybody know the CEO's name?

I heard his name once.

I'll.

I digress.

So both Nick and Chris, you guys have had drones flying around New Jersey and Ohio.

What's going on up there?

Because they started there.

Yeah, started.

They're still here.

And they're here in full, full force.

I'm on a Facebook page called New Jersey Drones.

Let's figure this out.

There's 75, 000 members and counting, and.

Oh, man, I thought Infowars was funny.

This page.

This page is so much better.

Everybody posts pictures of planes and say, this drone just flew over my house, and it's a commercial airline.

Like, you literally see it says Spirit Airlines on the side.

And most of the.

Most of the posts are like that.

I've read a lot of conspiracy theories about this.

My favorite are which people that think that these drones are nefarious, like, they think that they're here to harm us while also following FAA regulations with their lights on at night.

Like, that's my favorite.

That's my favorite.

Like, these are like, all.

These are Chinese and Russian drones spying on us while also maintaining, like, very, like, safe flight patterns.

And, And.

And like I said, being in regulation with the.

With the lights that the FAA require to be on a drone, I think that 99% of these are planes might be.

Oh, my gosh.

We have a special guest tonight.

Yeah.

Michaela just came in town.

Wow.

She just.

What?

Wow.

Michaela just arrived in town.

You're talking about my daughter, Darren.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

I, I, I forget what I was.

Talking about, you know?

No, no.

Now we're derailed.

He.

He's acting like this is crazy.

We were at dinner the other night with.

With our family, and he was.

He was being an absolute ass to Rachel.

I don't remember what he was doing, but.

What are you talking about?

You were doing something, and I.

And I Said.

I said don't you know, don't you know what tomorrow is?

Don't you know what?

Oh yeah, it's blowjob day.

Yeah.

Yeah, correct.

At dinner.

He said that at dinner with, with my grandfather, his father, like any earshot, his grandmother or my grandmother, his mother at the end of the table, she would have nearly fainted if she would have heard that.

There's a day for that.

Yeah, there's a day for that.

His birthday.

One day.

He just gets one day here.

Oh.

Meanwhile I'm lining mine up for my 11 o'clock appointment.

So.

I don't even remember what you're talking.

Drones, I think.

Yeah, they're here, there.

I don't know what's going on.

No, the one thing that was, was scary was I'm trying to just put all this, you know, the back of my mind.

It's.

And it's obviously posts about it every day.

Oh, drones this, drones that.

Sunday, my, my dad and future brother in law are leaving my house and I hear fighter jets flying.

Like you could you.

It was obviously a military plane.

It sounded like someone in like a souped up car.

And then it just got louder and louder.

My house started to shake.

And then I go outside looking and I'm like oh my gosh, these are military planes.

What is going on?

And everybody on ring neighbors app start saying what's going on?

You know, enough is enough with these with the, you know.

Now the military is, is flying over our house in fighter jets.

And then I see a comment.

I'm at the Eagles game.

There was literally just a flyover of the Blue Angels.

But, but if you say something enough, enough, it becomes true.

So now that.

And I, I'm all for that except if it's for Sandy Hook being staged, then I'm not for it.

But if you say something enough, it becomes true.

And, and I am all for the.

All the conspiracy theories on the journey.

My favorite one is that they're sniffing out a stolen nuclear warhead from Ukraine that was shipped over to the United States and came to dock in New Jersey.

It arrived in New Jersey.

Yeah, love that theory.

All for that.

I've actually even checked the.

I'm guilty of this.

I, I go and I Google nuclear levels near me and I make sure that all the nuclear.

The Geiger scale is norma normal.

I know.

I'm a Geiger Geiger scale professional now.

I know what normal radiation levels are and, and what aren't.

Well, if you don't have your own skill, the government's Lying to you on the Internet.

You should just invest in your own scale.

It's coming tomorrow.

Oh, perfect.

I just figured.

And you know what was the scariest part about all this?

The scariest part about all this is the drones are happening.

I'm reading all out this radiation.

My dog started to poop blood the other day, and I'm like, oh, my gosh, it's over.

Over.

It turned out to just be ibs.

Oh, she's on medicine and she's fine now, but I.

But I.

But.

But.

I'm telling you, man, it's getting to me.

This Facebook page is getting to me.

She started pooping some blood, and I'm like that.

This is it.

The.

The.

The drone, the nuclear.

The nuke is in my neighborhood.

We are getting radiation poisoning, and my dog's getting it first.

Yeah, she just ate, like.

Like pizza that a squirrel dropped in our backyard.

It's not a nuke, but.

But it did.

It did make me think twice about it.

It did make me think twice.

Are you guys ready to hear what's going on with Giles Garmin?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And now it's time for the more you know.

And here's your host child, Garmin.

Hello there.

Giles Garmin here, letting you know that on the next episode of into the Disney verse, you can hear all about a Christmas Disney game.

Speaking of Christmas, I once met up with Santa Claus, and after I heard him laugh, I asked if he was talking about a former host of the no New Friends podcast.

Interestingly, if you visit any of the Disney parks, you'll notice a distinction.

Lack of significant Hanukkah events.

That's all.

You know, Disney's a private company and isn't a public institution.

A little bit more to it than when I text Dane.

For example, after I attempted to text Dane multiple times this week asking if we were recording an episode, he still did not text me back.

However, he then did text me twice with a link to a live video stream stream that he was sending out.

But he felt as cool as a worker at SeaWorld in a photo of him while wearing sunglasses with a painted background.

It'd be one of the coolest things a person can ever do.

As a reminder, you can listen to new episodes of into the Disney Verse on all streaming services.

That's into the Disney verse.

D I Z any Y V E R S E That's all for me, Giles Garmin.

And happy holidays is.

Thank you, Giles.

What's the.

What's the.

What's the.

Not texting back at the live video, is it.

Is it canon that Giles and Dane have a podcast together?

I guess.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Did you send a live video of something after you didn't text someone back, or is that me?

That could be both of us.

It could be both of us.

That could be either one of us.

It could be.

It could be Nick.

You just got back from a trip to the cabin.

How'd that go?

What cabin?

Oh, the cabin.

Cabin.

I have written down cabin.

I don't know what you.

It sound like a weird word that you said.

Trip to the cabin.

Sounded like a star.

Had a little accent on it.

But it wasn't a Russian accident.

So.

We did a lodge weekend.

Cabin, if you want to call it.

It wasn't.

I guess.

Yeah, it was in the woods.

So you can call it a cabin in the woods.

Oh.

With my family for this past weekend, for the holidays.

It's something we do every year with my mother's side of the family.

So there's like 25 of us in a house.

Oh.

Luckily the house has eight bedrooms, so we each kind of have our own space for our families.

But it was.

It was a good time.

It's the first year we had some family drama on the side of the family.

A good run, actually.

But what's great is it wasn't a drama about me.

Oh, that's good.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

So it's.

It's entertaining when I.

I love drama when it's not mine.

So, yeah, my.

My cousins were fighting over.

I think it's just something that's needed to have a conversation about something that happened in the past and finally got their.

Got things worked up.

But yeah, it's like now we're just dealing with some odd family drama at this point in my life with one of the kids wanting a bedroom next year that doesn't even pay to go to the cabin.

So we're like.

We're giving you a free space to hang out with us.

Like, you don't.

You don't get to choose your own room.

So if you're not going to pay.

No, no, you gotta pay.

Yeah, they always pay.

There's always trauma with the food.

We always have conversations about the food every year because we plan a menu out.

Everybody brings a meal that they choose.

And of course, nobody's ever happy when.

If you cook something that's.

It's not something that they usually eat.

So.

So running those situations.

But the best thing that helps with that is drugs.

Drugs.

Okay.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I was high 99 of the time and it was amazing.

Everything was just patriotic with me.

I was just sitting there back in the corner, just taking it all in.

So yeah, it was.

It was a fun weekend.

I.

I love spending with my family.

Unfortunately or fortunately.

I guess my family was glad that I went because I had the opportunity to go on a free Disney cruise.

Oh.

Of course.

I thought that that two weeks ago was the last trip of the year.

It was.

But I was invited to go on the Disney Treasure this past weekend.

Oh.

So I had to turn that down, unfortunately, because I.

I love my family some days.

So I decided to spend it with his family this year.

But I was able to send to my agents on agents, not Asians.

Thank you for clarifying to my travel advisors to go on a three day cruise provided by Disney Cruise Line where they hosted us and gave ship tours and amazing presentations and stuff.

Showed us this brand new cruise ship that launches next week.

It was a great opportunity for my team to get on board.

What sucks is I'm sitting in a cabin while it's snowing and all my friends are posted on Facebook that they're on this amazing cruise.

I didn't post that I was on that bridge.

Oh, awkward.

Awkward.

But I'm very glad that they got to go experience it.

I talked to them today and kind of heard a little bit more about what happened.

But they got special panel, Disney panel come on board to talk about the restaurants on board.

The imagineers.

What do they do with the board.

After it's come on?

Yeah, after everybody comes on board.

What do you do with the woods?

Is it also known as the poop deck?

They came on the poop deck.

They had some Disney imagineers on board talking about the spaces.

I'm working with children here.

Scott wishes.

Oh my God.

Here, hold on.

But it was.

It looked like an awesome experience.

What sucked was I was trying to remotely post about this cruise to my travel agency Facebook page, which is Sandpiper Vacations.

So trying to post about this cruise, like while it's happening.

I have people sending me pictures, but we have no Internet reception out there.

So I was stuck with my family for three days.

Not even cell phone service.

Like it's literally on SOS mode.

She had worse reception than people on the cruise.

Yeah.

Pretty impressive.

No, the crews, they were.

They're on like HD video, live streaming and stuff.

And I'm literally in the middle of nowhere, Ohio on SOS waiting, hoping maybe the drones can send some energy.

That's what I'm thinking.

Yeah, yeah.

I'm hoping one abducts me.

So I.

I didn't get my chance to talk about it because Scott was kind of ignoring.

Oh, sorry.

He doesn't again.

He's on his phone just texting away.

Yeah, he's.

He's becoming that.

Oh, my God.

I'm not.

I'm.

He's saying how to remove a game.

A gay border from my.

All right, Mary screen.

So the drones.

I.

They were in New Jersey first.

I had Maddie text me that they're in Pennsylvania, and now a couple days ago, they were reported in Ohio, which they weren't close to us.

It was over about an hour away near the air force base to nowhere important, so.

Nowhere important.

Nothing to worry about.

Yeah, probably fine.

Clearly, they got shut down.

But like you said, though, like, I feel like the gay community, we are just kind of looking at these drones like, you know, what if it's aliens?

At this point, Just take me, adopt me, Take my clothes.

I don't.

I don't care.

At this point, just, let's go show.

Me that probing things, anal probing things.

A rumor or not, Baby.

Nick is just stripping naked.

Just saying take me.

I know.

Be hanging out on a rooftop just like I'm closer.

It's less free to travel.

I'm so close.

Please.

Beam me up and then beam up me.

Whatever.

I'm equal opportunity.

So.

Yeah.

Hey, Chris.

Scott, you got any Cliff notes?

Scott, you have any New Jersey band versus Florida band?

No.

Wow.

So I guess I do that.

It's been quite the show.

A lot of stuff's happened, so nothing can stop this little boy from.

From recap in the day, the Chris's Cliff sn.

In the news today, a man was killed when he shot a bear out of a tree and it landed on him.

Now I can happily report that the bear sustained minor injuries and was able to make it to tonight's recording.

Nick, I'm glad you're okay.

Thanks for having me, guys.

When Scott asked Sarah how she was doing, she said, quote, I could be a lot better, which is, ironically, the same thing he says to Rachel every time after sex.

Oh, my God.

We talked about Santa's visiting neighborhoods on fire trucks.

Nick said that Santa just started to come in his neighborhood.

Good for you, Nick.

And lastly, Darren went to a Kobe restaurant and evidently did not get the whole experience, given the fact he did not die in a helicopter crash.

Kobe RIP.

I was more of a LeBron guy.

And those are my Cliff Notes.

I said it already.

The LeBron thing was a cliff Note to the cliff.

Note.

Okay, gotcha.

Yeah, by my last joke that you didn't hear it.

Sarah, what do you got coming up with the kids this week?

That's a good question.

Actually.

I still have to go Christmas shopping, so.

Yeah, for those minimal things.

So that's my plan is to be sneaky and do that.

I do have a date with my sister in law this weekend though.

Oh, nice.

Yes.

So that's, that's what we're looking forward to this week.

Nice.

Nick, you got any plans this week?

So nothing really this weekend, but winter break starts next week.

So we have two weeks at home with Piper.

So we're gonna drink a lot.

Drink.

Well, drugs.

Drink, drugs.

I might do that too.

Probably do some like zoo lights and fun Christmas stuff to get ready for dinner.

And Chris, still teething season.

Yeah, lots of grape flavored Tylenol, which isn't too bad.

I've tried it myself.

Yeah.

So sticking everything in the freezer at this point point that she likes to put in her mouth.

So that includes like extension cords and, and chair legs and stickers.

All the stuff she likes to put in her mouth.

And I've got Polar Express sleepover this weekend and cookie baking and all sorts of stuff.

So Alex, what do you got coming up with the kids?

Yes, I don't think.

Darren, what do you got coming up this week?

Not nothing.

You hate me.
