Episode Transcription

Speaker 1  0:00  

So a while back, gee was showing me some picture on his phone, and he kind of had to scroll through and I saw a girl on there, like maybe a couple of them. And I was like, fuck, is that? And I was like, there were those girls on your phone. He pulled it up and it was a picture of Kamala Harris

 

Unknown Speaker  0:47  

You have a winner there.

 

Speaker 1  0:50  

Yeah, he had taken a screenshot of like, a quote of hers, or like something like that. But yeah, now we always joke of each other, like, Who's that girl on your phone? 

 

Speaker 2  1:03  

oh just come Kamala Harris. Just just Ruth. Get us her name right now. Ruth, RGB, Ruth Bader, Ginsburg. RBG, wait, yes, sorry, my head's all fucked up right now.

 

Unknown Speaker  1:21  

Um, kind of cute. I hope you don't mind me saying that

 

Speaker 1  1:26  

no, we laughed at it a lot, because I'm usually not somebody that's like that. Like, oh, what are you doing? But yeah, I was just kind of like, What the fuck is that Vice President?

 

Speaker 2  1:38  

Oh, my God, speaking of it's so funny, because Brandon on Facebook, he gets these like pictures of Avril Levine all the time. It's so weird, because he's like, I try really hard not to give like Facebook anything to like give to me. So he doesn't, you know, really like, like, a lot of stuff and things like that. But So yeah, he just gets these, like, all these pictures of Avril Lavigne. And I think some of them might be aI generated too. They're all so it's so weird we don't know, like, what the fuck is.

 

Speaker 1  2:09  

So he has girls on his phone too. Yeah, Avril Lavigne,

 

Unknown Speaker  2:14  

I can never be as punk as her.

 

Unknown Speaker  2:18  

You know what? Hello. We're the girls in your phone.

Unknown Speaker  2:51  

killer I love

 

Speaker 2  2:53  

I just read it. I didn't write it. Oh, I guess before I start reading too, we are going to be taking a little Christmas break. So we just want to let you fat heads know that. So yeah, there won't be episodes for the next few weeks, but we'll be

 

Speaker 1  3:11  

back at it, yep, as soon as possible. Yes, just a little winter break. Yes, need some time to process the hell

 

Speaker 2  3:24  

the new hellscape, yeah, we're living in. We just need a little adjustment period.

 

Speaker 1  3:27  

Yeah, Inauguration Day is my fucking birthday, too. So really, yeah, every four years My birthday is either cool or depressing. Looks

 

Unknown Speaker  3:42  

like it's gonna be depressing this year.

 

Speaker 1  3:44  

Yeah, actually, you know what? I think it's gonna be good day one. Groceries gonna be cheaper.

 

Unknown Speaker  3:50  

Yeah, we'll get you a nice birthday cake,

 

Speaker 2  3:57  

omelets and Fridays and scrambled eggs. Oh, the

 

Speaker 1  4:02  

eggs. Eggs 10 ways. I think I've decided I'm gonna celebrate my birthday on the 18th this year. Okay,

 

Speaker 2  4:08  

cool. You're gonna get blackout drunk. Try to forget everything. I don't know. Yeah, I don't really like getting drunk.

 

Speaker 1  4:15  

Yeah, I'm like, might make it worse. Ah, well,

 

Speaker 2  4:23  

the world's getting creepy, and we need creepy pasta to survive. So here's a heaping spoonful for all you lovely fat heads. Let's forget about the world around us and immerse

 

Unknown Speaker  4:37  

and creepy pasta past

 

Speaker 2  4:41  

this one is called a fright before Christmas, written by William rain, thank you, William.

 

Unknown Speaker  4:49  

We had a fright before Christmas

 

Speaker 2  4:50  

while all through the house, not a creature was stirring. Well, maybe a mouse, the stuff stockings were hung on the mantle downstairs. I hoped they'd remain it was in need of repairs. The children were nestled all snug in their beds while visions of virtual warfare danced in their heads, with my wife and my T shirt and me and my skivvies. We were both tuckered out from exhausting activities. When out on the lawn, I could hear a strange sound. It was a little unnerving. With no neighbors around Grandma,

 

Unknown Speaker  5:32  

you forgot to leave out the milk and cookies. Where are the cookies?

 

Speaker 2  5:39  

Away? Till the window, I shuffled my feet, peeled back the curtains, afraid of what my eyes may meet. The moon beaming down on the new phone snow highlighted the trio who crossed the lawn below. This was no friendly visit that much I could see with each of the men locked and loaded with glee he the tall man in front, moving silent and quick, I could tell right away he was likely a prick.

 

Speaker 1  6:11  

This Rhyming is quite good. Yeah, I know I love it.

 

Speaker 2  6:15  

As they moved to the back door, their weapons in hand, he whistled and spoke and gave his demands, you take the ground floor and I'll take the stairs. Then head to the basement and see what's down there. If

 

Unknown Speaker  6:30  

this is love that the burglars rhyming,

 

Speaker 2  6:35  

if you see anything move, you put it down quick. Not one of them lives. They make me fucking sick. He then fidgeted softly with a lock on the door. I gave a wink to my wife, the one I adore, sneaking out of the bedroom. I asked that she stay. She smiled warmly back at me. Have fun while you play. There was no reason to doubt I would return in a while with blood soaking my fingers and smearing my smile. Oh, as I reached the ground floor and was turning around through the back door, they entered, barely making a sound. They were all dressed in Kevlar from their heads to their feet. It was clear they were prepared in case we should meet. A bundle of steaks stashed away in their pack caused me briefly to worry. I could not push them back. Their eyes how they twinkled. They were all I could see through the darkness. They were far less likely to see me the drool leaked from my mouth to the carpet below. At the thought of their bodies dripping blood on the snow, I would silence the one to the front of them quickly gush, gush his fluids across friends faces so sickly

 

Speaker 1  8:00  

could be a different kind of story. Yeah,

 

Speaker 2  8:04  

he was barely aware when I sank my teeth in the shock and horror in his gaze, I couldn't help but to grin. He was stocky and muscled, but I drained him down fast, oh, and I laughed when I saw his friends looking aghast with a wink in my eye and a twist of his neck. I moved to the next one. It scared him to heck. He spoke not a word while I took care of my work, while the last one turned tail. What a cowardly jerk. This attempt to flee did not go as planned as I leapt right upon him, turning his kneecaps to sand. I cannot let you leave, but you won't die just yet. My family hungers as well, you best bet. I dragged him down to the basement and into his cage. He had not a chance. Not given my rage cool. I gave him one final glance as I cut out the light. Happy Christmas to you until tomorrow night.

 

Unknown Speaker  9:08  

Oh the end.

 

Unknown Speaker  9:10  

Hell yeah. Family

 

Speaker 2  9:12  

was like a a twist to the bad guy's house.

 

Speaker 1  9:18  

Oh yeah. Made me think of, uh, I've seen people online jokingly talk about um, Kevin McAllister, from home alone, being like the guy in saw and like, setting up traps,

 

Unknown Speaker  9:34  

and now he's like, a psychopath and stuff, which is funny. Yeah,

 

Speaker 2  9:37  

I saw that theory. That's fine. I saw a post recently too, that, I guess, because you know him, and, um, what's his wife's name? Uh, Brenda Song. She was in some like, Disney stuff. Oh, I didn't realize that, but yeah, so they have a kid, and he said that, uh,

 

Unknown Speaker  9:53  

that his kid is, thinks he's

 

Unknown Speaker  9:57  

the kid himself, thinks that he is. Of the kid in the movie.

 

Speaker 2  10:01  

Oh, yeah. I don't know why. I can't remember his name right now. Kevin. Yeah, Kevin. And so yeah. And then Macaulay says he asked him, Oh, so you remember, like, going down the stairs on a sled, and he's like, yeah, no. It's just really cute little,

 

Unknown Speaker  10:17  

little moment.

 

Speaker 1  10:20  

I love Macaulay culkins, brother in that movie. He has, like, the tiniest part, the one with the big glasses fuller Yeah, he's so cute.

 

Speaker 2  10:32  

I love Leah, the big dorky classes and kids, they're so cute.

 

Unknown Speaker  10:37  

I love home alone. We watch it every year.

 

Speaker 2  10:40  

Yeah, I haven't watched it in a while, but yeah, Brandon, I know Brandon loves that movie.

 

Speaker 1  10:44  

I never saw it as a kid, and I actually showed it to my sister for the first time, because she'd never seen it either, and, oh yeah, it's just funny, especially watching it as an adult like although what the fuck things do and we had to stop to check on cats. That was a fun one. Yeah, and

 

Unknown Speaker  11:08  

yeah. I just, I love the rhymes. It was. It was a good fun one.

 

Speaker 1  11:11  

I feel like we should try to write some creepy pastas at some point. That would be fun.

 

Speaker 2  11:17  

I was thinking about that because, like, I know I wrote, like, the Criss Angel, oh, yeah, thing and stuff. So I'm just kind of like, I kind of want to write something. Oh, we know liver King. I wrote the liver King one. Yeah, I kind of want to write something again, yeah. And so this next Creepy Pasta is called Krampus, oh, written by where is your name? Okay, yeah. So this is credit to J spitzel. Each year, on December 5, a person in my hometown is brutally murdered. Oh, shit. The police are at a loss. With each victim, a poetic story is left behind. Below are the stories from the past three years.

 

Unknown Speaker  12:02  

Frederick loved to smile. What like

 

Speaker 2  12:07  

it feels like every show you watch where they're talking about the victim?

 

Unknown Speaker  12:16  

So he loved to smile for he was always glad,

 

Speaker 2  12:20  

happy, warm and gentle, never, ever sad. But Frederick had a secret one. He only knew this man loved to strangle children. He turned them cold and blue. God towns never found them, for he was very smart. Frederick took their corpses and pulled them all apart. It couldn't be young Frederick. Everyone would say he is a man of God. We always see him pray. Yeah,

 

Unknown Speaker  12:47  

he did it, then

 

Unknown Speaker  12:50  

he's praying for forgiveness.

 

Speaker 2  12:54  

The cold night came and Frederick rested his head, but soon he heard it scratching underneath his bed. Frederick trembled as he looked oil lamp in hand on his bedroom floor. The demon had a plan. Away with you, Beast. Away with you. Beast. The night is dark and long. You have no business here, for I have done no wrong. Krampus only laughed as he shook his rusty chin. He hung Frederick by the neck until he raised, rised in pain. The Lynx constricted, digging into skin, Frederick then cried out, praying for his sin. God. He begged and pleaded until his final breath. With a beautiful snap, Frederick bled to death. Krampus hung him out to dry, and all the towns with begin to cry, but not the children, for now, their souls were free, and under Frederick's body, the Phantoms danced with glee. Wow, so that was the first murder. It's kind of like kind of cute, but that feels like not the right word.

 

Unknown Speaker  14:07  

Oh, it's good. The child murderer got killed. Yeah.

 

Speaker 2  14:09  

I like it. I wish the townsfolk wouldn't have cried about that, but yeah, honestly,

 

Unknown Speaker  14:14  

feels kind of accurate.

 

Unknown Speaker  14:17  

I feel like there's a lot of adults

 

Speaker 2  14:18  

defending shitty people, so I guess it is accurate. So the next one, Greta loved herself more than she could bear. My God, I love myself. I'm so pretty. She never had enough and could never ever share. Want was never more. It was only need. Her envy grew and grew, and with it came her greed. Greta needed more, but money wasn't flush, so she stole from her family. It gave her quite a rush. It is not enough to herself, she would say, I must have it all. There is no other. Way into her grandparents home, Greta crept inside. They had many treasures, Jewel, jewelry and gemstones pied. But when she looked around well, she did not find only ancient Krampus, something on his mind, good. Greta shrieked and trembled. Staring at his claws, she knew there would be no mercy from this evil Santa Claus. You shall have the riches, Krampus said with a grin, and he gave them to her after peeling off her skin,

 

Unknown Speaker  15:41  

hell yeah. And that's, that's that one.

 

Speaker 2  15:44  

I mean, of course, she died from that. But it's just kind of crazy to me that, like child murder and like petty theft has like the same, the same consequence.

 

Speaker 1  15:57  

Stealing from your grandparents, though, assuming that your grandparents aren't also bad people. That's really fucked up. Yeah, yeah,

 

Speaker 2  16:03  

no, yeah, definitely. Stealing is wrong. I don't know if skin peelings

 

Unknown Speaker  16:10  

kind of theft, yeah.

 

Speaker 2  16:12  

And I guess stealing from your loved ones is even worse. So yeah, maybe we do get to steal

 

Speaker 1  16:18  

to, like, feed your kids. That's fine, but yeah, if you're stealing to buy yourself shit, yeah, get your skin pillow. She was just

 

Unknown Speaker  16:27  

getting a rush from it. So

 

Unknown Speaker  16:30  

for the next one, we have Herman.

 

Speaker 2  16:36  

Herman was a doctor for that's what he would say, and basically thinks he's a chiropractor. That's what he would say anyway, even though he wasn't actually a doctor,

 

Unknown Speaker  16:47  

I'm Dr Herman, hello,

 

Speaker 2  16:50  

and every single patient they would have to pay, he cut and pulled and burned, and after he was done for more, he always yearned this surgeon was a butcher who had a taste for swine with their bleeding flesh, he'd pair a fine red wine. The hunger took him body and mind and soul, yet this evil, it never took its toll. Herman was alone in his chair. He sat all this human meat he had made him very fat. It's like I have a whole like Joe on me now. He drifted off to slumber and began to snore until an angry campus burst through the door. Perman could not move. He wet himself in freight

 

Unknown Speaker  17:46  

Oh, shit, I'm hitting myself. Oh god.

 

Speaker 2  17:52  

Krampus licked his lips and let out a squeal of delight. First, he gouged out his eyes, and Herman could not see, and Krampus fileted his tongue. It was tender as could be. Christmas is joyous, full of love and sheer but you must remember the one that we all fear. So be kind to one another. Show love and heed this text, or Krampus will find you, and you certainly will be next. Hell yeah. The police are seeking any information that may help bring the killer to justice. As of this morning, three more bodies have been found in a neighboring village. Oh, damn and hell yeah. Killer Krampus rhyming action. That was good one. I like that one too. I feel like the theft needs to be elevated a little more to like a more serious crime,

 

Unknown Speaker  18:49  

grabbing a bank

 

Unknown Speaker  18:53  

or something, yeah.

 

Speaker 2  18:55  

Child killer, it was a sandwich between like that and yeah. So it's just kind of

 

Unknown Speaker  19:04  

kind of funny that that made it in there. Maybe he

 

Speaker 1  19:06  

just doesn't like theft. He's very passionate about that

 

Speaker 3  19:09  

stewing from who your grandma is wrong.

 

Unknown Speaker  19:15  

Peel your fucking skin off.

 

Unknown Speaker  19:17  

She made you these petafloors, and you're gonna act like

 

Speaker 2  19:21  

that. Made you these petafloor you these petafloors. So, yeah, that was just a couple of fun little Christmas creepy pastas that rhyme and rhymes.

 

Speaker 1  19:32  

Yeah, rhyming is really funny. We should do it more often in our everyday lives. Yeah, I

 

Speaker 2  19:38  

like to drop like a little wrap. Rhyme here, anyway, house, so you know, just call me little

 

Unknown Speaker  19:46  

J, little J, little J,

 

Speaker 1  19:52  

well, Lil J, if you're up for it, I have I'm proposing a new corn. Corner. It's gonna be the dystopian corner where we talk about the hellscape we live in. And this will be the Christmas edition.

 

Speaker 2  20:09  

Cool Christmas dystopia coming at you, yes.

 

Speaker 1  20:14  

So this first one popped up on Facebook.

 

Unknown Speaker  20:20  

Are you familiar with the Angel Tree?

 

Speaker 1  20:23  

It's a thing that I think Salvation Army does, and basically they get different kids who are in need of gifts, and they'll type up a little thing like their age and what they want and need for Christmas, and you take their name off the tree, you purchase the gift, and then you return it with the little tag, and then they give it to the kid for Christmas.

 

Unknown Speaker  20:47  

So really cool, awesome. Um,

 

Speaker 1  20:51  

but an electric company decided to do that, so I'm gonna read this CAPTCHA, wait to buy the gift, or, like, ask for gifts. They decided to do their own version. Okay, so this is the Paducah power system Facebook page. I forgot to see where that was. Duka, power on Paducah. Power baby,

 

Unknown Speaker  21:15  

run on Paducah.

 

Speaker 1  21:18  

So they I'll show you the picture after I read this tomorrow, December 3 is giving Tuesday, and there's no better way, or no better day, to kick off our Annual Giving Tree. If you'd like to help someone in need with their electric bill this holiday season, just stop by our building at 1500 Broadway and select an ornament from our tree to pay any amount you wish on that account, the ornaments have labels such as disabled veteran, elderly and more. And these accounts are chosen by area helping agencies. So there's a fucking Christmas tree that has little ornaments. So we have client. Number 27 is the disabled veteran. We have client. Client number six is the elderly one, and we have a single parent as well. Oh, God,

 

Unknown Speaker  22:13  

this is like, awful

 

Speaker 2  22:17  

that's pending, pending disconnect. Man, this is sad. That's, um, I mean, I get that you have to pay for something, but it's just, and then the company is just like, hey, we know that you guys can't pay it, but we'll see if we can help you keep the lights on and stay warm during winter. Yeah,

 

Speaker 1  22:38  

instead of just like, dismissing their debt, and then it could have been a tax write off for them. They're like, No, you other people need to do it. I mean, I get the sentiment behind it. They want to help people, but they did it in like, the tackiest way. Yeah, no,

 

Speaker 2  22:58  

I agree. It's like, Oh, cute. Grab the thing off the tree and,

 

Unknown Speaker  23:02  

yeah, it's,

 

Unknown Speaker  23:03  

I don't know it's,

 

Unknown Speaker  23:06  

it doesn't feel good. It just

 

Speaker 2  23:07  

makes me think of, you know, people crowdfunding to raise money for, like, medical bills and things like that. It's just, it's sad.

 

Speaker 1  23:14  

Yeah, somebody in the comments said that this power company had like $78 million of profit last year, but they want us to, you know, wow, do the good deeds. And people were just fucking tearing them up in the comments. And, good, yeah, good. And they ended up doing that, that thing that people have to do a lot now it seems where they limit the comments, because they're getting so many negative Yeah. So

 

Unknown Speaker  23:49  

that was interesting.

 

Speaker 1  23:54  

My next dystopian thing is actually also Alyssa lens Tiktok corner. So I'm going to come play this for you

 

Speaker 4  24:04  

100 year old St Peter's chapel in Lucerne, Switzerland. Inside this confessional booth is an AI generated version of Jesus Christ. Hello, Jesus, a life like Avatar on a computer screen, answering questions in real time, offering advice to the faithful based on scripture in over 100 languages. Let kindness and compassion steer your course. It's called Deus in Machina, or God in the machine, and was developed by a Swiss IT expert using open AI's GPT four. Oh, the idea that chapel theologian said, is to explore the limits of human trust in technology.

 

Speaker 5  24:43  

Many people came to talk with him. They were young people, older people. People really talked with him in a serious way. The experience

 

Speaker 4  24:53  

comes with instructions and a disclaimer not to share personal information, but the church said most. Had a positive experience, topics

 

Speaker 5  25:01  

like relationship love,

 

Unknown Speaker  25:07  

topics like about God. They asked him what to

 

Unknown Speaker  25:09  

do, the

 

Speaker 4  25:11  

virtual experiment, generating debate and controversy worldwide.

 

Speaker 6  25:15  

This is not sacramental. This is this truly is just sacrilege. Is this is ridiculous. The

 

Speaker 4  25:21  

church's theologian says this AI, Jesus was never meant to replace a priest, but instead to get people thinking about the digital and the divine.

 

Speaker 1  25:31  

So what did you think about that? Jamie? I just feel stunned. Yeah.

 

Speaker 2  25:40  

Honestly, it almost feels kind of a unethical to make a Jesus AI.

 

Unknown Speaker  25:45  

Yeah,

 

Speaker 1  25:49  

there are people that are going to forget that it's AI or have some weird delusions about it, and there's gonna be

 

Speaker 2  25:58  

some old people that really think it's legit

 

Unknown Speaker  26:02  

or something.

 

Speaker 1  26:04  

Yeah, it does not seem like it was choice, but whatever.

 

Unknown Speaker  26:09  

Yeah, and it says, Don't

 

Speaker 2  26:12  

say any personal information, which makes me think it's using those confessionals or whatever people are saying to it to train itself more.

 

Unknown Speaker  26:22  

Oh, yeah, so your

 

Speaker 2  26:25  

little secrets are going into that.

 

Unknown Speaker  26:31  

Don't like that.

 

Speaker 1  26:35  

Another complaint that I have, I feel like they maybe half ass tried to make him look slightly tan, but if we're talking about where Jesus was actually from, he was not Caucasian. Yeah, there have been archeologists or somebody like that that made a realistic picture of what Jesus would have looked like, and he is not white, yeah, yeah, but I guess they had to make it palatable to people.

 

Speaker 2  27:08  

I saw, um, and this could be wrong, because I just saw it on, like a tick tock that was shared on Instagram, but

 

Unknown Speaker  27:15  

it said that, uh,

 

Speaker 2  27:19  

was it Michael Angelo, some kind of artist, I don't know, but he said, like, the priest or someone came into his room and there was a picture above his bed, and he was like, Oh, who is that? And he was like, oh, it's Jesus, but it was his gay love or whatever. Like, every Jesus you see now is, like the gay I don't know if that's true or not. I didn't look it up,

 

Speaker 1  27:38  

but I've seen that before too, yeah? But I was like, Yeah,

 

Speaker 2  27:42  

this is just the world I want to live in. So I'll just, I've

 

Unknown Speaker  27:45  

also seen

 

Speaker 1  27:48  

people like, taking pictures in their grandma's house, and it's, I don't know, Star Wars, please don't judge me. But there's some guy that, like, kind of resembles Jesus, okay, and grandmas will have that in their living room. It's just a Star Wars date because he's wearing, like, the robe and everything. Yeah,

 

Unknown Speaker  28:09  

I love shit like that.

 

Unknown Speaker  28:11  

I live for him. That's so funny.

 

Speaker 2  28:15  

Yeah, that video, though, that is just like, I don't know, it's a little jarring. I feel like I should be talking more about it, but it's just making me think. Making me think a

 

Speaker 1  28:23  

lot. Yeah, it's a it's a really weird one.

 

Speaker 2  28:30  

I guess the way I almost feel about it is like the way I kind of dislike some, what's it called, some like psychics and people that say they can talk to the dead and stuff, it's just like, Hey, there's this thing that you believe in and, and I'm gonna use it to, yeah, yeah. So it's just, it just doesn't feel right,

 

Speaker 1  28:53  

yeah, it's weird. And I'm not really a big AI person because of, I don't know, I feel like it can definitely do good, but it can definitely do a lot of harm as well, and like, shit like this. And I've seen things talking about how, you know, guys will get their, like, AI, girlfriend, and then have like, really abusive relationships with them. Oh,

 

Speaker 2  29:24  

really. I didn't hear about like, the abusive parts. I just heard people being like, men are gonna start like, being recluses and just doing that. But yeah, I didn't really think about the like,

 

Speaker 1  29:35  

yeah, people are like, having unhealthy relationships with AI ladies and weird shit with them. So that's cool. Oh, when a funny thing, getting back to Christmas though, the world

 

Unknown Speaker  29:59  

is. Awful. It's ending. But

 

Speaker 1  30:03  

so you know, Cardinals, the famous Christmas bird, the red one. Oh, so only the male cardinals are red, the females are brown, or, you know, whatever color birds are that are just normal birds, Caucasian, um, them, but

 

Unknown Speaker  30:26  

our skin color is

 

Unknown Speaker  30:28  

a bird, yeah, so creepy. We'll just take over all

 

Speaker 1  30:32  

that a lot of Christmas or, you know, retailers that put out Christmas stuff, they'll put out stuff that's like two Cardinals sitting on a branch looking at each other lovingly, but they're gay, yeah? They try to make this, like, romantic, beautiful thing. It's like, yeah, you're just like, that's cool to me. It's just like a bunch of gay dude Cardinals together,

 

Unknown Speaker  30:57  

yeah, next to the gay Jesus, yeah.

 

Speaker 2  31:01  

Yeah, our culture is so gay. It is maybe we need to have, like, a gay culture corner where just like, oh yeah, just things like that,

 

Unknown Speaker  31:10  

yes, I love it.

 

Speaker 1  31:13  

Very funny. Oh, I did see one other cringe retail thing. It also goes with rhyming. Oh, so you're familiar with Dr Seuss's The Grinch. Yes, a lot of rhyming in that. So Hobby Lobby has a pillow for sale, and it's a pillow with a picture of the Grinch, and it says, maybe Christmas he thought doesn't come from a store, just part of like, where the Grinch is realizing he's a good person or whatever. But yeah, they're selling a pillow that says, maybe Christmas doesn't come from

 

Unknown Speaker  31:54  

a store that is so

 

Unknown Speaker  31:57  

it's Hobby Lobby behavior.

 

Unknown Speaker  31:59  

Yeah, that's so the world we're in now? Oh,

 

Speaker 2  32:06  

god, yeah, it's, it's crazy because I, I also heard recently. I mean, I guess I should have assumed this maybe, but there's some people like that go into debt for the holidays and stuff, which is really sad.

 

Unknown Speaker  32:21  

I don't know why I brought that up.

 

Speaker 2  32:26  

That are awful thinking of like, I guess I was just thinking of like shop. You know, there's just so much commercialization around Christmas, and that just, and that in itself, has put people into that because they think they have to do all that stuff. Yeah. And then we just watch all the Christmas movies and stuff that says the Happiness doesn't come from all the things you get yet people still

 

Speaker 1  32:52  

do that. Yeah, yeah. I've made it a goal this year to not buy any Christmas decorations because I'm

 

Unknown Speaker  32:59  

mad at the world,

 

Speaker 2  33:03  

and I haven't, yeah, put your we're putting our money where our mouth is true. I'm trying to get better with it.

 

Speaker 1  33:09  

It's hard. I mean, it's hard to look into every place where you're spending money and figure out if they're bad people. Yeah. I mean,

 

Speaker 2  33:19  

I haven't had Chick fil A since, like, hell, yeah, all that stuff happened. Pretty much, yeah,

 

Speaker 1  33:27  

I've had it. Um, one of G's ants gave us a Chick fil A gift card. Oh, yeah, yeah. So we ate it then, and it was like, damn, this is really good, but I'm never gonna buy it with my own money,

 

Speaker 2  33:41  

man. I love their little like, they have, like, these little chicken chicken biscuits, yeah, oh god, I love those are so good. Let me know when you get a gift card again, if you don't want it.

 

Unknown Speaker  33:52  

Yeah, I'll take you to

 

Speaker 1  33:55  

I'll like, sit there and I'll calculate, like, exactly,

 

Speaker 2  34:01  

okay, I cannot spend any of my own money.

 

Unknown Speaker  34:06  

Come on, Jamie, we can get a kid's meal, and

 

Speaker 2  34:09  

then you have like 20 gift cards that all have like, 50 cents, 20 cents, Yep, I've done that as well.

 

Unknown Speaker  34:19  

So, yeah, we're, we're out here. We're trying. You know,

 

Speaker 1  34:21  

we're trying. If you want to talk to us about different companies and stuff, let us know, we want to know what the shitty ones are, or different ways that you're finding to stick it to the man, yeah, I

 

Speaker 2  34:38  

know it's a lot like just a Mississippi thing when all the Chick fil A stuff happened, all the Chick fil A has had, like, their dry flu line was, like, out of the parking lot and just like, took so long, it's like, wow, I hate him. Why have I never seen Chick fil A this busy before? Like, what you're just trying to prove a point by, like, sitting in line for three hours to get we hang gay

 

Speaker 1  34:59  

people. People are eating fried chicken. There's nothing more American that has ever happened before. So

 

Speaker 2  35:08  

yeah, and I remember people posting pictures on Facebook, of them like, sitting in line being like, yeah, we support

 

Unknown Speaker  35:13  

Chick fil A. It's like,

 

Unknown Speaker  35:17  

you kind of look like an idiot, but cool.

 

Speaker 1  35:20  

Let's go back to the good old days, which is not something I say often, but the good old days where everyone could agree that politicians and corporations were evil and we shouldn't trust them. That's one of the few things that used to be good. I feel like people were kind of united in a way where it was like, yeah, like, Fuck the super rich. They're just out to get us, and now everyone is idolizing the super rich.

 

Unknown Speaker  35:50  

I'm kind of hoping

 

Speaker 2  35:52  

that we're gonna come back around to that, because there was that recent, I don't know much about this at all, but there was that recent thing where the CEO of that health care, United Healthcare, or whatever, got shot, and everyone's just like, No one gives a fuck, yeah. They're like, Ooh, I love you. Yeah. I saw like, a funny thing too. It was like a there was, like that scene in Spider Man or whatever, where he's like at the back of the train and then, like, the police is like, coming to get him, and people are like, you have to go through me. You have to go through me. And they're all like, blocking him. And, yeah, people are like, they like, put him in that, that

 

Unknown Speaker  36:32  

edited him. And there was, oh gosh,

 

Speaker 1  36:37  

the fucking CEO thing. I've seen some wonderful memes. But

 

Unknown Speaker  36:44  

Elon Musk, like,

 

Speaker 1  36:45  

wrote a thing on Twitter that was, like, talking about how CEOs were good and, like, all this shit. And it was basically like, he's scared, so he's trying to scared. He's next, which

 

Speaker 2  36:57  

he's trying, trying to make it, oh God, human is trying to humanize you,

 

Speaker 1  37:03  

yeah, but then you want to know what he did a couple days later, when he had a big meeting and had to be out in public, took his son with him and had him on his back.

 

Speaker 2  37:13  

Oh, my God, what a fucking piece of shit he's like. I don't want to get shot. I'll use my kid as a shield. Yep, that is so fucked. Ah,

 

Speaker 1  37:23  

yeah. So I don't mean to take us off on, I mean, it is dystopian corner, but yes, in case you haven't seen that, and you're someone that's like, well, maybe he's not that bad of a guy. Yeah, you should know that. Yeah,

 

Speaker 2  37:36  

like, wear a fucking helmet or something on, like, Kevlar. Like Kevlar, just

 

Unknown Speaker  37:43  

like the Yeah, that story? Um,

 

Unknown Speaker  37:49  

yeah, I feel like there's a lot of things I could say about Elon Musk

 

Speaker 2  37:52  

right now, but I just, I can't let him make me angry. Yes.

 

Speaker 1  37:57  

Well, we can wrap up dystopian corner, I guess I'll try to think of something positive. We can end

 

Unknown Speaker  38:06  

on what is something positive? Alyssa

 

Speaker 2  38:09  

made me marshmallows. Oh yeah, hot cocoa. And it's homemade marshmallows. So that's like these big square, luscious, like you can squeeze them a bunch of marshmallows.

 

Speaker 1  38:19  

Yes, I'm gonna try a different recipe too. These, I don't know, but they're good. Thank you. Homemade hot cocoa mix as well. Yeah, I'm excited. Yeah, I'm next year, I'm gonna try to make all my Christmas presents, because, you know, I don't want to

 

Unknown Speaker  38:41  

buy anything from these evil fucks, yeah,

 

Speaker 2  38:43  

yeah. Or maybe just not just things that's probably mostly what I'm gonna be be shopping.

 

Unknown Speaker  38:52  

So I hope

 

Speaker 2  38:53  

we didn't bum you out too much fat heads with the scary, creepy pastas and the scary, dystopian world where I'm entering into with, with AI Jesus,

 

Unknown Speaker  39:05  

God, that's just

 

Unknown Speaker  39:06  

wild to me. That's

 

Unknown Speaker  39:08  

and they actually put it in a fucking church. It's just that's crazy.

 

Unknown Speaker  39:15  

Maybe it'll come to America soon. Oh,

 

Speaker 2  39:18  

I guess I just assumed it was America. Yes, that just, you're right. That didn't seem

 

Speaker 1  39:22  

like it would be very American. Yeah, Switzerland,

 

Speaker 2  39:25  

if it's American, they would put it like in a Walmart or something. So never mind. They put

 

Speaker 1  39:30  

it in the schools. Jamie is not intended. Whenever you need a ring to do a research paper, you just talk to AIGs and you learn everything you need to know. Tell me

 

Unknown Speaker  39:41  

about evolution. It

 

Speaker 1  39:43  

does not exist. The limit does not exist. Get out of the AI Jesus booth right now. You

 

Unknown Speaker  39:51  

disappoint me.

 

Speaker 2  39:53  

I'm also kind of curious too, like, if people might try, like, messing with it and stuff you know, like, that's trying to. Like, break the prompts and everything. If it was

 

Unknown Speaker  40:02  

here, I'd be saying some weird shit. Yeah,

 

Unknown Speaker  40:04  

me too. Me too.

 

Speaker 1  40:09  

Yeah, say some weird shit to people that you know in your everyday life, yeah, why not

 

Speaker 2  40:15  

this nice holiday season? Just always nice to have a little surprise. It's true. Let's see. Yeah,

 

Unknown Speaker  40:21  

sorry. I feel like I'm starting to tap out,

 

Speaker 1  40:29  

follow us on Instagram and rate and review us, and we're gonna take a little break, but we'll be back in early January. Yeah. So until then, rock around the Christmas tree and catch up on some early episodes

 

Speaker 2  40:46  

. Oh yes, catch up on some old episodes, people like the Mount Everest one. You want to check that out. But, uh, but yeah, party rock around the tree and party on, party on, run away.
