[00:01:01] Speaker C: And I am your little helper, David Williams. [00:01:04] Speaker B: Oh, nice. [00:01:05] Speaker C: Yeah. That means you're the big man. You're the big man himself, Johnny. [00:01:08] Speaker B: I'm saying I do have the beard. You have the beard for it, though. [00:01:10] Speaker C: He's a longer beard. Yeah. [00:01:12] Speaker B: I recently got shaved. [00:01:13] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, that's because I don't care. Physical beard. [00:01:18] Speaker B: It looks good. It looks. [00:01:19] Speaker C: It's more. It's more Yukon Cornelius right now. That's the good thing is you can go from the Yukon Cornelius in your youth straight into Santa in your old age. And that's kind of where I'm. I don't really want to be an old man with tiny, nasty children coming up and telling me things and peeing on my lap, but. What? I think it would be pretty cool. [00:01:39] Speaker B: Yes, you do. [00:01:42] Speaker C: Pretty cool to be a Santa. [00:01:43] Speaker B: What was that? A third voice I hear? What is that on the. On the roof at 8? Titty reindeer.

Okay. [00:02:12] Speaker C: Do they still have the shrunken heads at Willarock, or are they hidden now? [00:02:16] Speaker A: Ooh, I think they're gone now, actually. [00:02:18] Speaker B: Yeah, hopefully. I remember seeing them as a kid. [00:02:20] Speaker C: I fucking love those. Those are my favorite thing about Woolerock. Yeah. [00:02:24] Speaker A: Except for the. The buffalo that would eat your trash. [00:02:27] Speaker C: Yeah, that was pretty cool. [00:02:28] Speaker B: Boffo. Baffle the buffalo. [00:02:30] Speaker A: Baffo. That was the name. Baffo. [00:02:32] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:02:33] Speaker B: We used to warrant all the time. My grandma lived in Bartlesville, so we would go all the time. [00:02:37] Speaker A: Oh, nice.

Just a little pepper in the ham of the Christmas episode or in the turkey. What do you usually have at Christmas? Just repeat Thanksgiving? [00:04:44] Speaker C: I think it's pretty popular, but I think ham is more of a traditional. Ham and goose are the more traditional Christmas. [00:04:51] Speaker B: I've never had a goose on Christmas. [00:04:52] Speaker A: I've never had a goose on Christmas. [00:04:53] Speaker C: I've never had. I've never had a goose, period. [00:04:56] Speaker A: We should have goose. We should have geese on Christmas. [00:04:58] Speaker C: All of us. [00:04:59] Speaker B: We. The fat goose. [00:05:01] Speaker A: We gotta get a fat goose. Remember when they would get them all fat in that. What they did in Chicago. Or was that duck. That was. They'd like get him like, fat and they'd kill them. [00:05:09] Speaker B: They didn't do it in Chicago. It's just controversial. [00:05:14] Speaker A: But it was like. [00:05:14] Speaker B: It's a fatty liver. Yeah. They get their litter. [00:05:16] Speaker A: Chicago was like the last place to like ban it or whatever. [00:05:19] Speaker C: Well, no, I think it was. I think it was one of the last places. [00:05:22] Speaker B: Does it table donkeys? [00:05:23] Speaker C: Because it was. It was banned for a really long time. I think they only started selling it in town. [00:05:29] Speaker B: Hot dogs. It became a big thing because hot dogs started doing. And paid the fine. [00:05:32] Speaker A: Yeah, that's right. That's right. [00:05:34] Speaker B: Hot dogs. We got f. Gr. We're pay the fine. [00:05:38] Speaker A: That's right. [00:05:41] Speaker B: We all went to hot dogs together. That's. [00:05:43] Speaker C: I mean, I. Tom. Tom and Tom and I showed up very late, talked about Stevie Miller for. Yeah, like five minutes. Like, the line just wasn't moving because they were talking about Steve Miller band. [00:05:56] Speaker B: You know why we were late? [00:05:58] Speaker A: That's hilarious. [00:05:58] Speaker B: We were late because we watched the Veronica Mars made for Amazon movie. 4:00am he passed out on my couch. We woke up at like 8. We gotta be David Hot dogs. Oh, like, got on our bikes and rode there. [00:06:14] Speaker C: I mean, it's not like we didn't have to stand in line for two hours anyway. Yeah, well, I mean, when they. When they closed, there were people who would like, smoke whole briskets in line. Jeez, it was ridiculous. [00:06:25] Speaker A: Yeah, it was fun, though. That was the only time I ever went there. The only time. [00:06:29] Speaker C: Fun. It was fun. [00:06:30] Speaker B: It was good. [00:06:31] Speaker A: It was great. [00:06:34] Speaker B: Hot dog himself. [00:06:35] Speaker C: Oh, nice. Did you. Did you get to serve him? Seat him? [00:06:39] Speaker B: At least I talked to him. [00:06:40] Speaker C: Oh, nice. [00:06:41] Speaker B: I don't remember if I was a server or not. It was when I was a server. [00:06:45] Speaker A: You got any foie gras? [00:06:48] Speaker B: Yeah, he licked his lips. He's like. [00:06:51] Speaker C: And when you said no, he says, it's okay, I'm packing. And he pulls out. [00:06:55] Speaker B: He was like the judge on Dan Aykroyd on. What is that? Yeah, nothing but trouble. He's the judge. [00:07:02] Speaker A: New and doo doo or whatever. [00:07:03] Speaker B: Yeah, I just watched that. The movie's insane. I also fell asleep for a lot of it, but I watched. [00:07:12] Speaker C: It's a ringing endorsement. [00:07:15] Speaker B: That's a. I'm already 40. I'm not 40 yet, but I might as well be 40. I can't watch an hour and eight minutes of falling asleep. It's like Bebop. It's Bebop and Rock City. [00:07:26] Speaker A: Yeah, it's like Z, Bo and Debo or something like that. It's hilarious. [00:07:29] Speaker B: Bran. Bran, It's Bobo. What was. Bobon and Megan both know that movie? Well, yeah, Bobo. And. [00:07:43] Speaker A: I'm gonna say Zozo. [00:07:45] Speaker B: I'm gonna say Zazi. Because they haven't properly said it. I almost did it. But we are regarding Spawn, and it is our Christmas episode. Each week bring you two issues from Spawn's universe. Except when we don't. This week is no different because it's a don't. We say the don'ts in the contract. We say we're bringing two issues, except when we don't. And this is a don't, don't, don't. [00:08:09] Speaker C: It's a catch all clause, so that way we. You can't catch us. [00:08:12] Speaker B: It's a catch all clause, but spelled like Santa Claus. Like the opposite of Tim Allen movie. [00:08:18] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:08:18] Speaker B: Catch all claws. This is our Christmas episode. This is our fourth year covering this issue. [00:08:25] Speaker C: I think so. Yeah, something like that. [00:08:27] Speaker B: Because we did it by ourselves. [00:08:29] Speaker C: We did it with Brand. [00:08:30] Speaker B: Brand. [00:08:31] Speaker C: We did it with Logan. Was it Logan? [00:08:33] Speaker B: Logan? No, it was respawn or spawnography. [00:08:37] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, it was okay. [00:08:39] Speaker B: Yeah. Spawnography was last year. This is our fourth time. [00:08:41] Speaker C: Oh, dang. [00:08:41] Speaker B: We haven't done it with Logan. [00:08:42] Speaker C: We need to do it. We can do it with. [00:08:44] Speaker B: We were planning on doing Logan, and I was like, we can get Tom. [00:08:47] Speaker C: Ah, very exciting. [00:08:49] Speaker B: So this is our fourth annual Christmas episode where we cover issue number. What is it? 36? [00:08:57] Speaker C: 39. [00:08:57] Speaker B: 39. God, so close. [00:08:59] Speaker C: 39. And it continues to be a good. [00:09:01] Speaker B: It's my age. Oh, my God. [00:09:03] Speaker C: What's your age? [00:09:03] Speaker B: I'm 39. I'm 39 years old. [00:09:07] Speaker C: Issue 39 listeners. Johnny is going through it now. He just. He just saw the time knife and the rest of his life laid before him. [00:09:15] Speaker B: No, I feel young. [00:09:18] Speaker C: You look young. Thank you. You look young enough to have a feeding tube shoved down your throat and get that liver nice and fatty. [00:09:25] Speaker B: So that way we get that foie gras. [00:09:29] Speaker A: Foie gras. [00:09:29] Speaker C: Do they. Do they. Do they do foie gras geese young like they do the baby cows? [00:09:37] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:09:38] Speaker C: Or are foie gras geese just like regular aged geese? [00:09:41] Speaker A: I think they're just regular. I think they're just regular geese. I think it's. I think they're female, though. I think they have to be female. I could be wrong. [00:09:48] Speaker B: No, they don't. [00:09:49] Speaker A: I could just be sexist about that. [00:09:51] Speaker B: This is fatty liver. It's just fatty liver. [00:09:53] Speaker A: Yeah, but do you think. [00:09:55] Speaker C: Do you think that drunk. Do you think that drunk goose from the Aristocats had a nice, fatty liver? [00:10:01] Speaker A: Ooh, I bet. I bet that guy was like. [00:10:04] Speaker C: That guy was 75%. Do you not remember the drunk goose where he's. He's. He's telling him that that chef keeps wanting to catch him and bake him into something. [00:10:14] Speaker A: I guess he wasn't a fat goose. So technically, I mean, his liver was probably pretty well. [00:10:20] Speaker C: But the drinking. The drinking can lead. [00:10:22] Speaker A: Yeah, the drink. I guess that's true. [00:10:23] Speaker B: That's his wife taking time all at the same time. I know that doesn't help. [00:10:27] Speaker C: It does not. [00:10:28] Speaker A: Yeah, man. That's crazy to think about. He was like, yeah, our geese are really. They're foie gras, but it's because they drink alcohol. [00:10:40] Speaker C: I think you could start a movement, Tom. I think you need to found the first alcoholic geese. [00:10:45] Speaker A: Alcoholic. [00:10:46] Speaker C: The first goose ranch that raises foie gras only on the alcoholic geese. [00:10:51] Speaker B: They all have Southern accents. [00:10:55] Speaker A: It's hilarious. [00:10:56] Speaker B: Oh, just one more nip before supper. [00:11:00] Speaker C: Oh, oh, speaking of. Speaking of, you two boys are in Oklahoma. And speaking of foul, I heard the saddest news today. [00:11:08] Speaker B: What happened? [00:11:09] Speaker C: The founder of Charlie's chicken, Mr. Charlie himself, rip no longer with us. [00:11:13] Speaker A: Oh, no. I should go get some chicken chunks. [00:11:17] Speaker B: Rest in nugs, Roy's man. It's outside of Wagner. Wagner. [00:11:23] Speaker C: Wagner's a weird place. [00:11:26] Speaker B: I just. My family owns land out there. [00:11:28] Speaker C: I just. I just. I. I live like 40 minutes away from it, and it's just like, you go to the hospital in Wagner and there's really nothing else. [00:11:36] Speaker B: So Walmart is a Brahms. [00:11:38] Speaker C: There's a Brahms everywhere. [00:11:40] Speaker B: There are Brahms everywhere. [00:11:42] Speaker C: It's a good thing. It's a good thing. Brahms is good. [00:11:45] Speaker A: Sorry, I was looking at Charlie's Chicken guy. I was looking at the owner of Charlie's Chicken because I really want to. [00:11:50] Speaker B: Know you look it up. You can look up stuff. Yeah, yeah. You got to confirm this kill. [00:11:55] Speaker A: I know. [00:11:55] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:55] Speaker A: I was like, poor guy. [00:11:57] Speaker C: So I couldn't find. I couldn't find it earlier the. Because his name is the exact same as, like, a television writer, and so that's all you could see. And that dude's like 35 years old. So I was just relying on my local Oklahoma contacts. [00:12:11] Speaker A: Thank. Wow, your news. Your Oklahoma news contacts. [00:12:16] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. [00:12:17] Speaker A: That'd be cool if his name was. I wish his name was Charlie Chicken. [00:12:23] Speaker C: No, it starts. His last name starts with a D or something like that. Charlie D's nuts. [00:12:27] Speaker B: So fortunately, it's Charlie Dickon. [00:12:31] Speaker A: Charlie Dickens. [00:12:32] Speaker B: Charlie Dickens. [00:12:33] Speaker C: It's not even Dickens who decided it was less. Less teasing from the other kids to just change it to chickens. [00:12:42] Speaker A: Yeah, he's like, dicken is just not working. [00:12:48] Speaker B: I always think if there's a guy, I don't want to reveal where. One of my former jobs used to come in a lot, and he'd make reservations and his last name was just. [00:12:57] Speaker C: But. [00:13:00] Speaker B: Utt, baby. I was like, God damn. Middle school must have been rough. [00:13:05] Speaker C: Was this. Were you taking these reservations at Priscilla's where Fun and fancy. [00:13:11] Speaker B: Oh, it's now called. It's now called something else. [00:13:15] Speaker A: Yeah, it's now called. Oh, my God, Patricia's. [00:13:19] Speaker B: Patricia's. Oh, Patricia's now. [00:13:20] Speaker A: Yeah, it's called Patricia's. I assume there was like a divorce or something. [00:13:24] Speaker C: Did they keep the jingle, the same. Just, like, very obviously ADRs over Patricia's. [00:13:30] Speaker B: Dude. [00:13:30] Speaker C: Good luck. [00:13:31] Speaker B: If you edit this episode, good luck. I tried to drop that before, and I could not find it online, so good luck, David. I hope you edit this episode. [00:13:37] Speaker C: Well, remember when I found the Good Stories Bible Stories song that you looked for for, like, three days? [00:13:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:13:44] Speaker C: It was apparently a piece of Arthur. [00:13:45] Speaker B: Remember I found that Arthur clip on Facebook about the man fighting the. [00:13:50] Speaker C: Have you heard of. Have you seen. [00:13:52] Speaker B: You ever see the Arthur episode where they watch an old man fight a baby on New Year? [00:13:58] Speaker A: No. [00:13:59] Speaker B: So that, like, Mandela effect into my brain, where I thought that was the thing where, like, in the 1800s, they used to have, like, old men fight babies on New Year's Eve. And I mentioned this to Dave, was like, what the. Are you talking about? [00:14:10] Speaker A: What? [00:14:12] Speaker B: And then it's from Arthur. [00:14:14] Speaker C: It was the. It was the bully. The bully was like, this is what happens on New Year. [00:14:21] Speaker B: An old man fights a baby, and she'll, like, a little, like, if the old. [00:14:24] Speaker C: If the old man wins, then it stays the old year until the baby gets strong enough to beat it. [00:14:31] Speaker A: Jesus. That's an episode of Arthur. [00:14:35] Speaker B: I thought it's just, like, a throwaway joke from Arthur, but I thought, like, Mandela affected my brain. There's like, an old. Like, 1800s tradition, like the baby and the old man. [00:14:45] Speaker C: I mean, Johnny, there can be a. There can be a 20, 25 tradition where you and a friend dress up as an old man and a baby, and you duke it out to see what year it's gonna be. [00:14:54] Speaker A: That's true. [00:14:56] Speaker B: I'll be the baby. Tom can be the old man. [00:14:58] Speaker A: That's. I was not guessing that that's how it was gonna go. I would have been. I wanted to be the baby, but that's all right. [00:15:05] Speaker B: Speaking of babies, we got a big. We got bibsy big baby in this issue. That is issue 39 of Spawn. Top of fun. Spawn. So this is your first time as a guest. What is your relationship with Spawn? You grew up in the 90s. You really. Were you aware of Spawn or, like, did you see the movie? [00:15:24] Speaker A: I think, yeah, we. I mean, yeah, that. That's basically my whole. I remember the. The action figures. [00:15:30] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. [00:15:30] Speaker A: They're everywhere. Some of the action figures. I remember the movie, of course, but, yeah, this is my first jump really into the. To the. To the comic, and I was wildly surprised how. How. How fast I got into it. I was super, super excited. [00:15:49] Speaker B: Spoiler alert. It made me cry this year. Did it make me cry. Last year, David. I can't remember. [00:15:54] Speaker C: It might have. I don't know. It's real fucking good. It's. This probably needs to be up there when we talk about first issues to give people kind of hard to give them. Not around Christmas time, but. [00:16:06] Speaker A: Yeah, but still, it's a good short story. [00:16:09] Speaker B: It's a good tradition. [00:16:10] Speaker C: I think it was. Oh, no, I guess it was. I guess it was Bran's second or third issue, because I think we started them on a King Spawn, didn't we? [00:16:17] Speaker B: Yeah, they did a couple king spawns and a medieval spawn. [00:16:20] Speaker C: And if I remember correctly, I think they liked this one better. [00:16:24] Speaker A: I. I jumped in and I was like, automatically like. And I know that we can talk about this, but, like, I was like, oh, no, this whole family's going to die. And that's not how it went at all, so. [00:16:34] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:16:35] Speaker B: Yeah. Didn't you think they might. [00:16:37] Speaker C: Especially being from 1995, you would think that it would be like the most devastating deaths ever to. [00:16:43] Speaker A: Right. Yeah. [00:16:44] Speaker C: But surprisingly heartwarming. [00:16:46] Speaker A: It's. It's very heartwarming. Very beautiful. [00:16:49] Speaker B: So it starts. We always start with the covers. And the COVID is that first image of Spawn Santa. Oh, yeah. And it's great. It's great. [00:16:57] Speaker C: Capullo, Todd McFarlane with the bag with the hand sticking out of it. [00:17:02] Speaker A: Can I ask. [00:17:03] Speaker C: No. [00:17:03] Speaker A: Is there always the. The. The little thing about, like, bad. Like, you'll see bad stuff. Is that always prefaced how he's like, kids seeing bad stuff is. Is not. Is okay. [00:17:17] Speaker B: Oh, that quote. [00:17:18] Speaker A: Yeah, the Bible stuff and all. All that. [00:17:21] Speaker C: So it's in the. In the trade paper. So that was originally in, like, the letter page at the end of the issue when it came out monthly. And the trade paperbacks. Like to pull specific quotes from those. Those letter pages and just pepper them in throughout, just kind of as a running commentary from the creator. So if you read them in the form that we sent them to you, then, yes, they show up all the time, but they are rarely in the actual issues. [00:17:52] Speaker A: Gotcha. [00:17:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:17:53] Speaker A: I thought that that was fascinating how he talks about the Bible and taken out of context. But I was like. I was like, yeah, there have been violent acts in the Bible and they're bad. [00:18:04] Speaker C: A lot of. A lot of them are. [00:18:07] Speaker A: A lot of them are. But in context of. In the universe, I was like, yeah, I guess that's true. [00:18:14] Speaker C: In the context. If you put Spawn in the Bible, violence is rather minimal. [00:18:20] Speaker A: Like, good. Yeah. [00:18:22] Speaker C: Imagine if. Imagine if Spawn were there at the Temple and he saw the money lenders, what he would do to them. He would have flipped more than just those tables. [00:18:30] Speaker A: He would have flipped a couple of tables, I bet. At least. At least two tables. [00:18:35] Speaker C: Johnny, I think we've just stumbled across a very good through line that we've never noticed before. [00:18:40] Speaker B: What's that? [00:18:41] Speaker C: Spawn is Jesus. [00:18:43] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:18:44] Speaker A: Very nice. A Bible reference before Christmas. Christmas. [00:18:49] Speaker B: We started in a rough neighborhood in New York in the 90s in Harlem in like, New York in the 90s is like, mythical and like, it's always like, yeah, I don't know, like the urban. Like all the action movies and like, I don't know, Last Action Hero, Demolition man, or more. [00:19:09] Speaker C: More recently Caught Stealing. That gives you some Lower east side vibes that you wish were still around. Do you wish they were still around? I don't know. That's tricky. Yes. Yeah. [00:19:21] Speaker A: Every time I think of. I always think of our. Our mentor, one of our theater teachers was in New York during the 90s, and he talked about meeting, like, John Gotti and stuff and like, all this crazy stuff and like, sort of always. I always think about that. [00:19:35] Speaker C: Kind of like, did he get. Did he get shot by Gotti's men outside of 7:11 before he jumped into the taxi cab? [00:19:42] Speaker A: Yes, he did. I don't actually know what the story was with that. I wish I would have known more. I know that apparently he served John Gotti or something or one of the people or something. So nice. I don't know. [00:19:55] Speaker C: John Gotti ate at Table Donkey Stick. New York asked if they had foie gras, Right? [00:20:02] Speaker A: He was like, yeah, but, yeah, Matt said that he would, like, go down to, I mean, Times Square back then. I guess that was 80s and 90s. [00:20:11] Speaker C: But still kind of the 90s was when it started getting the Disney vacation. Definitely. [00:20:16] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:20:16] Speaker B: But the early 90s, Giuliani. [00:20:18] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:20:19] Speaker A: Yeah. Pretty rough, but. Yeah. I mean, Times Square was back in those days were pretty gross. But yeah, this is Harlem. [00:20:27] Speaker C: This is the hardcore way up, way up north. [00:20:30] Speaker B: And it drills home because it says there's faint sounds of Christmas music, sirens, the odd gunshot. [00:20:38] Speaker C: You know, just ambiance. [00:20:39] Speaker B: Rosa Building has family. Some extended, some broken. [00:20:43] Speaker A: Oh, wow. I mean, the lucky ones. Prepare for the evening's festivities. [00:20:49] Speaker B: Yeah, these are these snowballs coming to play. [00:20:52] Speaker C: Oh, man, I. I won't. I still haven't gotten a snowball. Johnny. I say it every year that I need to get some of these snowballs. Wanda makes some rum balls that are excellent, but they're even better if you Let them sit for, like, two weeks. But having any of them after two weeks is, like, an impossible task. [00:21:16] Speaker A: Do they just get too intense or what? [00:21:18] Speaker C: No, they. They. They just mellow out, and they. They just develop a little bit more flavor, and it's just. They're super delicious fresh that it's hard to. To let them sit around. You're just like, give me those fuckers. I'm gonna put this in my mouth. Maybe the problem is we only ever make those when we make them and we don't make something else. So that's the only way we have to. You got. You got to make two things. [00:21:43] Speaker A: Yeah. Or, like, hide them away or something, and then you. [00:21:45] Speaker B: I like the traditional, like, Christmas cookies with, like, the white icing. Like, white cookie. [00:21:51] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:21:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:21:52] Speaker C: I love decorating with just, like, the royal icing that forms really hard crust. Yeah. Decorating cookies is fun as hell. [00:22:01] Speaker B: These. [00:22:02] Speaker A: The snowballs, though, I always think they're just, like, messy as fuck. [00:22:05] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. It's. It's like eating the powdered. The powdered donuts from Hostess. It's just. Everybody knows what you've been doing, right? It would be less embarrassing to be doing cocaine. [00:22:17] Speaker B: That's true. [00:22:18] Speaker A: It's true. [00:22:20] Speaker B: Smoking like a true Chicagoan. David. [00:22:22] Speaker A: Telling you, telling you. [00:22:24] Speaker C: Oh, did I. Did I tell you that once there was a person acting quite crazy on the train, and I was sitting right next to a guy who still had, like, a whole bunch of cocaine around his nostril who was also looking at this person acting crazy, being like, look at this motherfucker. Holy shit. And if the. If the cokehead is saying you're acting awfully crazy on the train, then, damn, that is a. That is a crazy being on the train guy. [00:22:53] Speaker B: I would take the Western bus to the comic shop the same time, like, every Wednesday. And twice I saw the same guy who's, like, literally a construction worker with a magazine in his hand and just full of cocaine. And he would just be talking to people on the bus and just snorted in the back like a mountain. [00:23:12] Speaker C: That's insane. [00:23:13] Speaker B: And just in the middle of a magazine, just like, like, yeah, yeah, man. This, like. Like, he was dressed like. He wore construction. It was crazy. I was like, what the hell going on here? [00:23:23] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:23:24] Speaker A: Was he going to work? Was he coming from where? I don't know. [00:23:27] Speaker B: I don't know what. [00:23:27] Speaker C: He was apparently. [00:23:29] Speaker B: Yeah. Going to work. [00:23:32] Speaker A: Riding the rails, man. He was really. [00:23:35] Speaker B: He's riding that. That. That western bus, baby. [00:23:38] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:23:41] Speaker A: Nadine. I like. I like Nadine. I like the characters. These. [00:23:44] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:23:46] Speaker B: That's cool. She's got the. She got the hair. [00:23:48] Speaker C: She got the hair. [00:23:49] Speaker A: She's got the. [00:23:49] Speaker C: She's got the. The flannel. [00:23:51] Speaker A: Yeah. She's heading to, like, a Nirvana show or whatever. [00:23:55] Speaker C: She's got all that. [00:23:56] Speaker B: She reminds me. The mom reminds me of Catherine o' Hara at Home Alone. [00:24:00] Speaker C: Very Catherine o', Hara, only a little less forgetful. [00:24:05] Speaker A: Yes. [00:24:06] Speaker B: She's overworked, she's got 12 kids, and she's really rich. David. [00:24:11] Speaker A: Yeah. What do they do? Nobody knows. [00:24:15] Speaker C: Have you. Have you seen. Have you seen that? They. [00:24:17] Speaker B: They're lawyers. [00:24:18] Speaker C: Whoever. Whoever. Whoever currently owns the Home Alone house completely redid the inside of it, and have you seen what they did to our boy? Oh, boy. They. It's bad. It looks. It looks like it's been flipped to sell. [00:24:34] Speaker B: Was that the real inside, though? That wasn't a set. [00:24:36] Speaker C: Yeah, it was the. I think. I think, like, the stairwell was the real inside. I think. I think portions of it were. Were the real inside, but obviously they're not gonna set all those traps in an actual house. That's a. That's just asking for a insurance fraud. [00:24:55] Speaker B: Yeah, I just. Home Alone was on TV the other night. [00:24:57] Speaker C: Did you watch it? [00:24:59] Speaker B: I watched most of it. [00:24:59] Speaker C: Oh, hell yeah. It's a good movie. [00:25:01] Speaker B: I had to go edit this week's episode. [00:25:02] Speaker A: Oh, was it Catherine? Wasn't Catherine O' Hara, like, 32 in that or some. [00:25:07] Speaker C: Yeah, she was young. [00:25:08] Speaker A: She's, like, super young. I know. She's hot. Young. Young. I'm like, that's crazy that they go, she's still hot. I know. But, like, it's so crazy because when. [00:25:17] Speaker B: You'Re a kid, his older brother Buzz was, like, 18. [00:25:19] Speaker A: Like. [00:25:20] Speaker B: Yeah, he's at least, like, 16 or 15. [00:25:23] Speaker A: You. Thank you. She would. I mean, I don't know. I feel like she. I don't know. I don't know if I thought she was older or younger. When I was a kid. I. Weird. [00:25:32] Speaker C: Like, after a certain age, when you're. When you're young, like, anybody above a certain age is just like adults. [00:25:40] Speaker B: I mean, in my. In my old age, I love a stern brunette. I thought she was hot when I was watching Home Alone the other night. [00:25:46] Speaker A: Hey, man, that's what's up. And just because she forgets her kid doesn't make her. I mean, that makes me shy. [00:25:52] Speaker C: She. [00:25:53] Speaker B: Yeah, he's a shitty kid, too. That kid's a. Yeah, he was. [00:25:56] Speaker C: He was a turd. [00:25:58] Speaker B: He grows up in Jigsaw, you know. [00:26:00] Speaker A: That's what. [00:26:03] Speaker B: You ever heard that fan theory? He grows up to be Jigsaw Culin. [00:26:06] Speaker C: Becomes J. Oh, oh, oh. Fan theory. [00:26:08] Speaker B: Kevin McAllister. [00:26:09] Speaker C: Okay. [00:26:09] Speaker B: Fan. [00:26:09] Speaker C: Okay. [00:26:10] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:26:12] Speaker A: Yeah. I mean, could be something there because he goes to New York. Actually, I don't know the history of Saw. [00:26:18] Speaker B: So Sauce isn't like a city. It's just like the city. [00:26:21] Speaker C: The city. [00:26:22] Speaker A: Okay. Yeah, I thought it was New York for some reason, but I don't know. [00:26:25] Speaker B: It might be New York. Saw is weird. [00:26:28] Speaker C: Saw is weird. [00:26:29] Speaker A: My thing with. My thing with Home Alone is that Catherine o'. Hara, like, if she'd just been patient and waited for the flight, she would have made it back the exact same time. I mean, I know that's not the point. [00:26:39] Speaker B: Yeah, magical, though. [00:26:41] Speaker A: I know, but like, the point was, like, to go, go, go. And then she gets in with the John Candy and all that jazz, but. [00:26:47] Speaker C: Like poker king of the Midwest. [00:26:52] Speaker A: You remember when Elvis is in that movie? He's in the line in the back. He's in the. [00:26:55] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. People like, circle. It's. [00:26:57] Speaker A: Yeah, he's like. Like, he's like, that's Elvis. He's alive. He was at home alone. Anyway, I just think that patience. If Catherine o', Hara. She should have been patient, man. She would have. Well, then she would have never met John Candy. I bet they had a great relationship in the. You know, in the future, going forward. They're probably pen pals. [00:27:21] Speaker C: She hires him to play the music for every shindig that she throws her kid. [00:27:27] Speaker A: Yeah, Kevin. Kevin's wedding. He's there. He's like doing. He's the van there. So. Yeah, that's it. I mean, that's. That's. It's. It's true. It's not about the. It's not about the destination. It is about the journey. [00:27:41] Speaker B: So that's Nadine's kind of a. Nadine's kind of a buzz ass figure. She's the older sibling in this. [00:27:47] Speaker A: In this, Right? [00:27:48] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:27:49] Speaker B: She wants to go to a party. [00:27:50] Speaker C: She does want to go to a party. [00:27:51] Speaker B: And what do you think she's like 14, 15? I wish. She's like 14. [00:27:54] Speaker C: Yeah, she's got to be 14 or 15. [00:27:57] Speaker A: And that was my first clue that something bad's gonna happen. But guess what? Nothing bad happened. [00:28:01] Speaker C: You were wrong. [00:28:03] Speaker B: We were like, oh, they're all gonna die. That's crazy. You thought that. [00:28:06] Speaker C: Oh, I got little Bibsy, little Greggy. Bibsy. Who's the cutest little boy in the world? [00:28:11] Speaker A: Greggy. [00:28:13] Speaker B: She's gonna go to work. [00:28:14] Speaker A: She's gotta go to work to this place. [00:28:17] Speaker C: This place with the marble toilets. [00:28:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:28:22] Speaker C: Where they're like that lady. [00:28:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Lady's like, you should be thankful. Ah, yeah. Show me more respect. [00:28:31] Speaker B: Also, it's like she invites you over on Christmas Eve to scrub her toilet. It's like, no, don't you have guests over? Or maybe one of the guests took a massive. [00:28:42] Speaker C: Like, mid party. [00:28:43] Speaker B: Get in there. [00:28:43] Speaker A: Yeah, she's like, you better get over here. Dang, dude, I never thought of that. [00:28:48] Speaker B: And she walks through the snow. [00:28:50] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:28:50] Speaker B: She's got the Rugrats mom haircut. Yeah, she has the haircut kind of like that. Like the cones. Like the Dilbert to the Dilbert lady, Alice. [00:29:03] Speaker C: Although hers is more of a triangle. [00:29:05] Speaker B: You're canceled. [00:29:06] Speaker C: And Betty me, I'm canceled because I know the characters from Dilbert. [00:29:10] Speaker B: Yeah, Dilberg guy's a wackadoo. [00:29:13] Speaker A: Yeah, I know he is. He is a wackadoo. [00:29:15] Speaker C: It's crazy, but in the 90s, Dilbert was real good. [00:29:20] Speaker B: I mean, I got crushed the other week by Aaron when he's like, reminded me that Danny Elephant has allegations. [00:29:25] Speaker A: Oh, really? [00:29:27] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:29:27] Speaker A: I mean, he did write a song called Little Girls, so. [00:29:31] Speaker B: It's not like that. He only forced an intern to, like, record naked with him. Okay. [00:29:39] Speaker C: Only. [00:29:42] Speaker B: That'S awful. [00:29:43] Speaker A: No, that's awful. [00:29:45] Speaker B: Yeah, I know. [00:29:46] Speaker C: It is awful. [00:29:46] Speaker A: But the way you. But the way you went into it was very funny. You're like, no, it's not pedophile. It's not pedophilia. [00:29:52] Speaker C: It is. It is really. [00:29:54] Speaker B: It's really huge. Abuse, sexual, abusive, crazy. [00:29:57] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:58] Speaker C: It is really sad that there are so many terrible things that so many terrible people have done that you can't get away with saying just in this situation. [00:30:09] Speaker A: Right? That's true. That's like, why would. I don't know, man. People are crazy. Anyway. Well, Daniel, there we go. [00:30:21] Speaker B: Yeah. Now we all. I keep mentioning it. Why don't I keep mentioning on my. [00:30:24] Speaker A: Own podcast, taking off my. Taking on my. [00:30:26] Speaker C: You're trying to. You're trying to keep yourself honest so that way you don't talk about Ungo Bongo anymore. [00:30:32] Speaker A: Yeah, okay. [00:30:35] Speaker C: Yeah, I know, dude. [00:30:37] Speaker A: We could separate the. Michael Jackson was my. One of my favorite artists, you know, and he probably was definitely a pedophile. Sorry. [00:30:45] Speaker B: I mean, no, I don't know why the movie lasts so much. [00:30:50] Speaker C: I think probably. Maybe. [00:30:54] Speaker B: Probably maybe it's awful to reckon with. [00:30:57] Speaker C: Yeah, it is. [00:30:59] Speaker B: At least Tommy Farland creator Spawn is squeakling. [00:31:03] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:31:04] Speaker B: Family man. [00:31:05] Speaker C: The only, the only thing you can accuse him of is being too passionate about creator owned comics. [00:31:12] Speaker A: Amen. [00:31:13] Speaker C: Maybe a little. And about Swan, maybe a little too passionate sometimes. Like, maybe so passionate that he's writing more books than he should at the moment. [00:31:22] Speaker A: Passion, passion. [00:31:23] Speaker B: And so Nadine's talking on the phone. Yeah, I remember talking on the phone in the 90s. It was a much different experience than it is now. [00:31:30] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, man. I don't want to talk on the phone, but back then I wanted to talk on the phone. [00:31:35] Speaker B: God, I like talking on the phone. [00:31:38] Speaker A: I was not a big. I'm just not a big talker on the phone ever in my life. Like, if my grandma called and my grandma called, I would be like, hi, Grandma. And like, I don't know, like the cord and like, just having to be there, it was just too much for my mind. I was like, I want to get out of here. [00:31:58] Speaker C: Yeah, I get that. [00:31:59] Speaker A: Yeah. And like, I never had any girlfriends, so, like, I didn't, like, I didn't ever talk to girls or. And my friends were. I don't know. This is making me sound very sad right now. [00:32:14] Speaker C: I get it, I get it. [00:32:16] Speaker A: Like, I never talk to anybody. No. But, yeah, I don't know. But I do. I do love the 90s. Like, the phone and the cord wrapped around her finger and stuff. That's like, super. [00:32:26] Speaker B: She wants to go to this party because Bradson might be there. [00:32:31] Speaker C: He looks just like the guy she loves in the Lee jeans reference to. [00:32:36] Speaker B: So there's a lot of Liefeld, who's another comic creator. [00:32:40] Speaker C: Didn't. Didn't we discover that that was Levi's and not Lee? Wasn't it a 501 commercial? [00:32:46] Speaker B: Oh, God. Anyway, because we looked it up. [00:32:50] Speaker C: Yeah, we think, we think it's a reference to another comics creator who worked for Image or one of the founders of Image who did. He was in a Spike Lee jeans commercial. [00:33:01] Speaker B: Creator of Deadpool. Rob Liefeld. [00:33:03] Speaker C: Yeah, I remember. [00:33:06] Speaker B: Yeah. Let's take a shit. That's something Deadpool would say, right? Yeah. [00:33:09] Speaker A: He goes, yeah, yeah. [00:33:12] Speaker C: I don't know. Remember, he makes. [00:33:14] Speaker B: He goes, I know this is a movie, but I'm gonna put a butt. [00:33:17] Speaker C: Plug in my ass. He turns Spike Lee into a superhero called Spike Man. [00:33:23] Speaker A: Wow. [00:33:24] Speaker C: And he puts a camera. [00:33:25] Speaker A: Yeah, I missed that one. I don't know how I missed that one. So wait, how is he? How is that a. Isn't Lee jeans like Lee Jeans like the Lee jeans? [00:33:35] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah. [00:33:37] Speaker A: Okay. Do they make those anymore, Lee? [00:33:41] Speaker C: I don't know. Was that one of those. Was that one of those things that. It was like a. Like a brand exclusive or like a store. [00:33:48] Speaker B: Mandela effective. They never existed. [00:33:50] Speaker C: Was it like, JCPenney exclusive? [00:33:52] Speaker A: Yeah, I just remember the lead. Like, it was big, L, E, E on. [00:33:56] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:33:57] Speaker A: Like the. [00:33:57] Speaker C: I had, like. It had like, a little leather patch that. It said Leon. [00:34:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, so we're not. We're not. [00:34:05] Speaker B: They're still around. [00:34:05] Speaker C: Nice. [00:34:06] Speaker A: They're still around. [00:34:07] Speaker B: Yeah. You can buy them right now. [00:34:09] Speaker A: Dude, let's get some Lee jeans. Yeah. I love the. Oh, go ahead, David. [00:34:15] Speaker C: Oh, no. I was about to say, there's nothing I hate more than shopping for jeans. God, it sucks. New jeans. [00:34:21] Speaker B: Well, you gotta find one pair you like and just order the same pair online the last 10 years. [00:34:26] Speaker C: That's what I've done for, like, 15 years. [00:34:30] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:34:30] Speaker A: Yeah. Most of my pants come from online stuff now. [00:34:33] Speaker C: I just noticed that little Greggy is playing with a truck in the background and. Hell, yeah. Playing with a toy truck, dude. [00:34:39] Speaker A: Super, super cute. I love the fingernail polish. That's like my. That was one of my favorite parts of the whole. [00:34:47] Speaker C: Up. Yeah. [00:34:48] Speaker A: Yeah, the chip fingernail polish. I really like that. I was like, that's nice. [00:34:52] Speaker B: That's a good detail. I mean, Greg Capullo, great artist. That's what he's doing. Of the zoom in. Yeah, she's putting in the VHS tape. You. You were a younger. My older brother never did that to me. My older brother never was like, I'm leaving. Your parents. Your older siblings ever do that to you guys? Like, don't. Mom and dad. Really? [00:35:11] Speaker A: For sure. Oh, yeah. Like, what are you. [00:35:13] Speaker B: David. Are you allowed to say, David? [00:35:15] Speaker C: We lived out in the middle of nowhere. And so, no, there was never any opportunity because, like, you'd get to town and would immediately have to turn back because that was all the time you had. [00:35:29] Speaker A: Dang. [00:35:30] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:35:31] Speaker A: Yeah, we definitely. I definitely. Yeah. My. My siblings were. My brother was four years older. My sister was seven. So they were really. I don't. I hope they never listen to this. I don't know. But they were either nerdy or. Or not because they would have me around more than I thought that I would. That a little brother should be around. But also, they would also just, like, abandon me all the time at the house and put a movie on, so. [00:35:59] Speaker B: Dude, watch this shit. Yeah. [00:36:03] Speaker A: Yeah. They're like. Put this, like. Don't. Don't say they. It was like Clue usually or something like that. It was like one of those kind. [00:36:08] Speaker B: Of Movies, they put a clue. [00:36:09] Speaker A: Yeah. Like, for it or something. That's like, not important. I'm like, four years, they left you. [00:36:17] Speaker B: Alone in front of it. [00:36:18] Speaker A: Yeah, dude, one time. It was good times. I watched it, like, a bunch when I was a kid. It was, like on TV for a while. Wasn't it on, like, TNT or something? Like. [00:36:28] Speaker B: Yeah, they would show it. [00:36:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:30] Speaker B: That freaked me out too much, dude. [00:36:32] Speaker A: It was weird because it was, like, edited. It was like ed on TNT and stuff. [00:36:36] Speaker B: Even though they showed on ABC or abc. [00:36:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:36:41] Speaker B: There's like an R rated video cut. That's what it was originally made for tv. It's a maverick. [00:36:47] Speaker A: That's right. That's right. It was made for tv. That's right. Okay. I think I saw it on the Made for TV then. And then I saw. They probably recorded it then. [00:36:56] Speaker C: So much, so much about Thomas Hunt is now making sense. [00:37:00] Speaker A: I mean, here we are. I love it now. It's funny. It's, like, crazy because that movie used to scare me so much, but, like, it was still funny that they. I would, like. I don't know. I got used to it pretty quick, I think, because I would watch it and be like, this is fun. Tim Curry out there. Like, oh, yeah. [00:37:21] Speaker B: And now watch the Dancing Clown. [00:37:23] Speaker A: Yeah. Pennywise, man. [00:37:25] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:37:25] Speaker A: You guys watched any of that movie or that show, the Dairy Show? [00:37:28] Speaker B: I haven't watched it. I want to. [00:37:29] Speaker C: I have. [00:37:30] Speaker A: I like it. [00:37:31] Speaker C: I have no desire. I'm good. [00:37:34] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:37:35] Speaker C: I never even saw the second. The second remake. [00:37:38] Speaker B: It wasn't very good. It sucks. It was really disappointing. The first was so good. [00:37:44] Speaker C: The first one was really good. I did. I did enjoy the remake. It was good. [00:37:48] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:37:49] Speaker C: But like, actually frightening on, like, rewatching the original miniseries and it's like, wow. We thought this was scary. Damn. [00:37:57] Speaker A: Yeah. For real. But I thought it was terrifying. [00:38:00] Speaker C: Well, I know. [00:38:01] Speaker A: I know. [00:38:01] Speaker C: We all thought it was terrifying. But now you watch it and it's like, whoo. [00:38:05] Speaker B: Luckily, Nadine is not putting on it. She's putting on the Rankin and Bass Rudolph. [00:38:12] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:38:13] Speaker B: Do you guys have things you watch every year for Christmas? [00:38:18] Speaker A: Absolutely. [00:38:19] Speaker B: What do you watch? [00:38:20] Speaker A: Love, actually. Obviously. I'm a big love actually guy. [00:38:23] Speaker B: Okay. [00:38:25] Speaker A: We watch. We do watch Home Alone Always. Of course. It's Christmas Girl and then classic Muppet Christmas. And then we do a racist when we do Holiday Inn. So we have to do. [00:38:38] Speaker B: What's Holiday Inn? [00:38:40] Speaker A: It's like the black face. [00:38:42] Speaker B: Oh, really? [00:38:42] Speaker C: Oh. Oh, the one that. Oh. [00:38:45] Speaker A: It's like every. It's every. They do all the holidays. And so it's like they go through like Lincoln's birthday and they go through like. [00:38:52] Speaker C: Is this like the. The old one? That there's a classic Christmas song that's. [00:38:57] Speaker A: They. Well, that there's a. [00:38:58] Speaker B: But. [00:38:58] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, they're. They. I can't remember what the song is, but there's like, help. It's. It's very, very fascinating holiday again. Check it out. Bing Crosby and that other guy. Not Fred Astaire. Danny K. Is it Fred? [00:39:18] Speaker C: Yeah, it says. It says Fred Astaire on Wikipedia. [00:39:20] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So you always watch that White Christmas. [00:39:25] Speaker C: Yeah, the song White Christmas is in Holiday Inn. Is in Holiday, right? [00:39:30] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:31] Speaker B: Oh, wow. No wonder they're singing that. They're doing blackface. [00:39:34] Speaker A: I know, man. It's crazy. [00:39:36] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:39:37] Speaker A: So we don't watch White Christmas. We watch Holiday Inn, which has White Christmas in it, but it's more of like an all encompassing holiday movie. [00:39:46] Speaker C: Wow. [00:39:46] Speaker B: It's like a Nightmare before Christmas. [00:39:49] Speaker A: It's like a Nightmare before Christmas, isn't it? It's actually the original. It's where white. The song came from. The holiday. White Christmas. [00:39:59] Speaker B: Yes, we know. [00:40:00] Speaker C: Yeah, it's the original Nightmare Before Christmas because it's the. There are actually the trees with the picture. With the iconography of the. Of the holiday as the door. [00:40:12] Speaker A: It's true. [00:40:14] Speaker C: There's a skeleton for some reason. The big blank skeleton and these black. [00:40:19] Speaker A: Hairs and black face. [00:40:21] Speaker B: Oh, no. I always watch. My favorite Christmas things are one of my favorites. And I always say, this is. There's a Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode where they watch this Mex. It's like from Mexico. This Mexican film called Santa Claus. It was made in the 80s. It's like a action adventure and it's so bad he fights Satan. But Mr. Science Theater is really funny with it. I always watch that every year for sure. Home Alone, Classic Christmas Carol. [00:40:56] Speaker A: Do you do any of the, like, the horror Christmas movies? Like the. [00:41:01] Speaker B: I like, like. I like alternative Christmas movies. Like Hateful eight's Christmas movie. [00:41:07] Speaker A: Hateful Eight. [00:41:07] Speaker C: Hateful Eight, yeah. [00:41:09] Speaker A: Everyone's like Gremlins. [00:41:12] Speaker C: Gremlins. I wouldn't call Gremlins an alternative Christmas movie. It is straight up a Christmas movie. [00:41:18] Speaker B: No, but my mom's like, that's not a Christmas movie just because it takes place at Christmas. I'm like, yes, that makes it. [00:41:22] Speaker C: That makes it a Christmas. It starts off with the guy saying, hey, buy my. Also, I'm looking for a Christmas gift for my son. What do you got? [00:41:29] Speaker A: Right, right. [00:41:31] Speaker B: Christmas One of my favorite stealth Christmas movies is the Hateful Eight. Because it takes place at Christmas because John Michael Madsen's character says he's going home to see his mom for Christmas. And then he plays Silent Night on the piano. [00:41:45] Speaker C: Nice. [00:41:46] Speaker B: There's a lot snow. All that snowy snow. [00:41:48] Speaker A: Yeah, that snow. That should be a play for. [00:41:52] Speaker C: For me, it doesn't feel like Christmas until I watch Edward Scissorhands. And lately Wanda and I have been watching Emmett Otter's Jug Band Christmas. [00:42:03] Speaker B: You said that was good. [00:42:04] Speaker C: It's. It's the most gentle. Have you seen Emmitt Otter's Jug Band Christmas time? It is the most gentle thing in existence. It's great. [00:42:13] Speaker A: Cute Jug Band Christmas. [00:42:16] Speaker C: It's like an hour. It's an hour long. Because it was a made for TV movie. [00:42:20] Speaker B: What year? [00:42:20] Speaker C: I love that 82. [00:42:25] Speaker B: Oh, really? Yeah, it's on Disney Plus. [00:42:28] Speaker C: I do believe it's on Disney Plus. Yeah. Because it's a. It's a Muppet thing. It's introduced by Kermit the Frog himself. [00:42:38] Speaker A: They unfortunately bought the Muppets. Oof. Didn't. Did they buy everything? Or Hulu or Hulu's body? [00:42:46] Speaker B: Oh, no, it's. No, Netflix is buying everything. [00:42:50] Speaker A: Netflix? Yeah. [00:42:52] Speaker B: I don't know. You in the future listening to this episode in a few weeks from now will know. [00:42:55] Speaker C: Yeah, that's true. [00:42:57] Speaker B: Did Netflix buy everything? Are we fucked? Because that'll be the death of the movie theater. [00:43:02] Speaker A: The death of the movie theater. And we did it. [00:43:04] Speaker C: Although. But remember when Netflix was the only streaming service and it had fucking everything and it rocked. [00:43:11] Speaker A: Yes. And it was like, yeah, Johnny used to get discs. That was like the coolest thing we get, like the crazy. [00:43:17] Speaker B: Netflix discs are cool because you get any movie ever. Yeah. [00:43:20] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:43:21] Speaker C: It was like crazy. [00:43:23] Speaker A: And like half the time they wouldn't work. [00:43:25] Speaker B: I didn't know. They become the evil corporation that would, like, run the world. [00:43:29] Speaker A: Yeah, it's kind of sad. It's sad. It's sad to hear like, all the actors, like, trying to like, like hype up theaters. Like, they're like this. This movie has got to be seen in theaters. Like there's no other way. [00:43:41] Speaker B: Epic. No AI was used. [00:43:43] Speaker A: There's no way can see this movie at home. You got to see it in a big screen. It was supposed to be seen on the big screen. I'm like, they're trying so hard. And it makes me so sad because I love the theater, man. [00:43:55] Speaker C: Yeah, it's great. Going to the theater. [00:43:57] Speaker A: Yeah, go to the theater. That's my. That's my. That's my hot take. Go theater. [00:44:02] Speaker C: Do it. [00:44:03] Speaker B: Everyone. [00:44:03] Speaker A: Everyone go to the theater. [00:44:05] Speaker B: Go buy it. Netflix products look like shit. [00:44:07] Speaker A: Amen. [00:44:08] Speaker B: Most of their shows and movies just. [00:44:10] Speaker A: Look like it's poo poo pee pee, man. Most TV shows. Most TV shows are now poo poo pee pee and bad. Yeah, unfortunately. But you know what's not bad, Spawn? [00:44:23] Speaker B: It's not bad is ranking and bass. Well, actually, I kind of don't like raking and bass. The ranking and not ranking and bad. [00:44:30] Speaker C: I like. [00:44:31] Speaker B: No, it's not ranking. Is it. [00:44:32] Speaker C: Isn't that the 12 rank ranking? Rankin Bass did the. The puppet Christmas specials and then also. [00:44:40] Speaker B: They do the Rudolph that he's watching now. [00:44:42] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:44:43] Speaker B: That's ranking and basket. And they also do the Hobbit. [00:44:45] Speaker C: They also did the Hobbit. Yeah, I don't. [00:44:47] Speaker A: Dude, I thought you were talking about a Fast and Furious movie. [00:44:51] Speaker B: I will say. I will say the Snow Miser Heat Miser rocks. [00:44:56] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. They were. They fucking rock and they're. They're Mother. Mother Earth. Oh, yeah. The. My problem with the Rankin and Bass Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer is. Oh, boy. Rudolph's D is toxic masculinity in a character. It is really wild. Yeah, he wants. He wants Rudolph's mom to be home and domestic and not doing anything outside of their home. Boy, you better. You better. You better straighten up quick and become a strong young man. Rudolph's dad's a. Yeah, he sucks. [00:45:31] Speaker A: He's like. In your nose, looks like. [00:45:33] Speaker C: Yeah, he's like. [00:45:35] Speaker A: Who knows this for stupid heads? Dude? Dude, that sucks. Rudolph's dad was bad, man. [00:45:40] Speaker C: Yeah, but that's okay because there was that elf that wanted to be a dentist and he was cool as. And then you got Yukon Cornelius. I love Yukon Cornelius. [00:45:48] Speaker A: Yukon Cornelius. [00:45:49] Speaker B: I got. [00:45:49] Speaker C: I got more and varied types of dogs than Uconn Cornelius did. I could. I could hook them up to a sled right now and they wouldn't do anything. But. [00:46:00] Speaker A: Snowy in Chicago. [00:46:01] Speaker C: Yeah, it's. It's been raining all day, so the snow has been melting, but we got like 10 inches over the last week. [00:46:08] Speaker A: Man, that's always a. That's always a hoot. [00:46:10] Speaker C: Yeah. Fun as hell. [00:46:13] Speaker B: But there's a snowy scene on the balcony as Greggy is falling asleeps. He's watching and falling asleep. Getting sleepy eyed. [00:46:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:46:24] Speaker A: I was like, here it comes. Greggy's about to get killed. [00:46:29] Speaker C: You thought the. You thought the. The. The slow burnout. The snowman's light bulb Nose. [00:46:36] Speaker B: It is a bit ominous. [00:46:37] Speaker C: It's very ominous because it gets really dark in there. And then that crunch on the ceiling. Jesus Christ. [00:46:44] Speaker B: So why does it go out? Is that like signaling? Like it's just. It's just out because it's burned out? [00:46:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:50] Speaker C: I'm. I'm assuming it's just because it's. It's a little light bulb that was like the signal. [00:46:54] Speaker B: Christmas, it was like, it's midnight. This reminded me. Megan was asking me about like, what are my Christmas traditions? And then remind. This reminded me that one of them is. And this is weird. David, you're gonna love it. [00:47:08] Speaker C: No. [00:47:08] Speaker A: Okay. [00:47:08] Speaker B: But most of my years on Christmas Eve, I fall asleep to the live stream or whatever they show on tv of the Vaticans Christmas. [00:47:16] Speaker C: Nice. [00:47:17] Speaker A: That's awesome. [00:47:18] Speaker C: Nice. [00:47:18] Speaker B: It's very soothing to me. [00:47:20] Speaker C: I used to love going to midnight mass. It was awesome. Because they would always do a thing where there was can. Were candles involved. And that was my favorite part of it. It. [00:47:29] Speaker A: That's fun. [00:47:29] Speaker B: Last year on Christmas Eve, I fell asleep to Inglorious Bastards. Because it's at my brother's house in Texas and he had Netflix in the room. And I was like, put on Glorious Bastard. [00:47:38] Speaker C: Nice. [00:47:39] Speaker A: Damn. Next year you'll be able to put on anything you want. Cuz Netflix alone at all. [00:47:44] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:47:45] Speaker C: Nice. [00:47:46] Speaker B: And everything will be like. Like all the cigarettes, like cut out. Like everyone's like, they're smoking, but there's no. [00:47:51] Speaker C: It's like a pixie stick. [00:47:52] Speaker B: Yeah. There's the carrots. [00:47:54] Speaker C: They just. They just granulate. They like pixelate the. The smoke. So that way it looks like they're just blowing sugar out. [00:48:05] Speaker A: That's hilarious. [00:48:06] Speaker C: Oh, man. [00:48:08] Speaker B: But there's a crunch on the roof. [00:48:09] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:09] Speaker B: And we get the opening reading that Tom did so well. [00:48:12] Speaker C: Yeah. With this Greggy and his yard long eyelashes. Damn. [00:48:19] Speaker B: Cutie little cupidoll. [00:48:21] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:48:22] Speaker B: But meanwhile, we see in the little panels that there's some robbers on the roof. [00:48:26] Speaker C: Yeah. With their little bro. The little bags with the money signs that I love. The bags of the money signs. I know. I talk about it. [00:48:35] Speaker A: The mask and the money signs. Those are great. [00:48:37] Speaker B: I just like how every spot. Like every Sam Raimi Spider man movie, a villain has to rob a bank. Even Sandman does it. Doc, Oct, they all gotta rob the bank. [00:48:45] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:48:49] Speaker C: It's classic. [00:48:50] Speaker B: Now that all these villains are meeting Deadpool and talking to Joker, they're all talking Pennywise 2, Pennywise 2 Electric Boogaloo. [00:49:02] Speaker A: They're gonna be like, Netflix is buying Pennywise and turn them into Deadpool. [00:49:10] Speaker C: He's gonna. He's gonna break the fourth wall. [00:49:14] Speaker B: He already kind of does. [00:49:16] Speaker A: He breaks it. [00:49:18] Speaker B: But we breaking the wall into Spawn because Grace's sand is here. And Santa is. [00:49:27] Speaker C: Such an awesome Spawn, too. Damn Spawn with that massive, massive right foot. His. His big right foot isn't anywhere near as this. This big anymore, Johnny. [00:49:38] Speaker A: No, it's a big right foot. [00:49:39] Speaker C: It's. It's a massive foot. It's like a. It's like the. The elephant foot diorama they used to have at Tulsa Zoo. That's what it reminds me of. [00:49:49] Speaker A: I love how the robber looks like he's, like, from. Like. He's like Albert Einstein's cousin or something. [00:49:58] Speaker B: Which. [00:49:58] Speaker C: Which one? The. The one on the left. [00:50:01] Speaker A: The left. Yeah. He looks like he's too old to be robbing a bank. I'm sorry. [00:50:08] Speaker C: He's got just. He's got. Just got the little chin patch. [00:50:12] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm like, sorry, Gramps, I don't. You don't need to be up on this roof, man, again. Ageist. I'm being ageist. But yeah, and then. And then you got the cookies and milk, man. That's my. This is so cute. [00:50:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Little Greggy going to get the cookies, and he's dropping them all down the hallway. [00:50:30] Speaker A: I love how, like. Yeah, Sean, like, dudes are just getting beat up. [00:50:36] Speaker C: Yeah. Just getting fucking. I like the. I hope Rudolph's up there. Santa la. Need his big red nose. And that guy's getting hit and there's blood coming out of his nose. [00:50:45] Speaker A: Ah, beautiful. [00:50:48] Speaker C: Jingle bells come in, and it's just the chains going cling. I can. I can. I can. Definitely relates to little Greggy being like, oh, I gotta pretend I'm asleep. But just like, jumping into bed in the most unsubtle way possible. [00:51:05] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:51:06] Speaker C: Like, everybody. That apartment building. No. Knew he just jumped into bed. Yep. [00:51:12] Speaker B: I was. I always peek. I was peak at Christmas and I wake up. [00:51:16] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. [00:51:16] Speaker B: My mom would always, like, do it between, like, the right time, so I would never catch her. Yeah. [00:51:22] Speaker A: I don't know how. I don't. I don't know how parents would do that, how they could do that. They'd, like, know when you're asleep. I don't know. [00:51:27] Speaker C: I mean, they only. They're only there watching you sleep every night of the year. [00:51:32] Speaker A: All right. [00:51:32] Speaker C: It's. I guess after a while, you learn a pattern. [00:51:34] Speaker B: He's at least out for an hour or two right now, and then they go for it. [00:51:37] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. [00:51:40] Speaker B: I have A very vivid memory one Christmas we woke up at like 5:30 in the morning. Mom was like, no, you go for your stockings. Leave me alone. And so we went down and watched tv. And Roger Rabbit was on. [00:51:54] Speaker C: Hell yes. [00:51:55] Speaker B: All Roger Rabbit. And then Open Presents. [00:51:58] Speaker A: A very. Another underrated Christmas movie.

[00:52:06] Speaker B: But I'm calling it a Christmas. [00:52:08] Speaker C: Okay. [00:52:08] Speaker B: You know, I. I consider the Force Awakens a Christmas movie. [00:52:11] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:52:11] Speaker A: What's your. What's your. What's. Why? How. [00:52:14] Speaker B: Because it takes to Came out of Christmas. [00:52:16] Speaker A: I mean, that makes sense.

The earliest show that wasn't 3D because I didn't want to see it in 3D. [00:52:41] Speaker C: Good choice. [00:52:42] Speaker B: And we came out, they were interviewing people. They interviewed Tom on the news. And he. We had gone to. We had. There's this great restaurant. Hound Dogs is on Grand Avenue in Chicago by my old apartment. We go there all the time. And Tom just grabbed the mic, goes, good. Hound Dogs on Grand. [00:53:02] Speaker A: The person like, freaked out. They're like, oh, back to. Back to you.

And we watched it before we went to bed. I was like, this is so dumb. I was like, why did we watch this before? It's like, so crazy. It was so creepy. But we didn't see any ghosts, unfortunately. But sad. I know, man. There you go. [00:56:28] Speaker B: Awesome. [00:56:29] Speaker A: Super cool. [00:56:30] Speaker B: That's hilarious. It's like, good night. [00:56:32] Speaker A: Yeah. They're like, have a good night. It's like playing a loop. It's playing on loop. It's so weird. I was like, what? [00:56:40] Speaker B: But while Spawn. So Spawn's fighting these dudes and he drops a wad of cash. [00:56:47] Speaker C: Fat water cash. [00:56:48] Speaker B: We looked it up. It was, it was $2,000, something like that. [00:56:55] Speaker C: We could look it up again. [00:56:56] Speaker B: What is it called? A stack of twenties. [00:56:59] Speaker A: I think we should be ten, right? [00:57:01] Speaker B: No, she spent all that on that. [00:57:03] Speaker C: Party, cuz it's twenties. [00:57:05] Speaker B: $2,000. [00:57:06] Speaker C: Yeah, $2,000. [00:57:08] Speaker A: That's. [00:57:09] Speaker C: Unless, Johnny, what color are we saying this, this strap is? Oh, it's tan. [00:57:17] Speaker B: What? [00:57:19] Speaker A: It's a tan. [00:57:19] Speaker C: Okay, okay, okay. So, so there, there are color amounts and the colors go from blue to mustard. [00:57:29] Speaker B: Okay. [00:57:30] Speaker C: With blue being 1000 and mustard being 100,000. [00:57:36] Speaker B: No, it's. It's 2000. [00:57:37] Speaker C: It's got to be 2000. [00:57:40] Speaker A: I think it's. Yeah, that's right. [00:57:43] Speaker B: It's 2000. [00:57:44] Speaker C: 2000. [00:57:44] Speaker A: 2000. [00:57:46] Speaker C: Although, although Wikipedia is telling me that the only bundle with, with 20s in it is 2,000. So there you go. It's telling me it's 2,000. Johnny, it said, it says it's 2,000, guys. [00:58:01] Speaker B: That would feel nice, your hands a $2,000 worth of 20 bills. I love money. That's why it's called money. [00:58:10] Speaker A: That's right. [00:58:11] Speaker B: That's a David Mamet quote. It's one of his best quotes. He goes, everyone loves money. That's why it's called. [00:58:20] Speaker C: Beautiful. [00:58:22] Speaker A: We love David Mamet. Another canceled person. That's crazy. [00:58:26] Speaker C: Yeah, they have a. I have a co worker who went to a production of the newest mammoth play that was right before the movie of it came out. And like, they didn't, they didn't know what was going on. And there was just a whole bunch of people protesting the production because David Mamet being a shithead and he was like, what? What's happening? [00:58:46] Speaker B: Huh? [00:58:46] Speaker C: What? [00:58:49] Speaker A: It only ran for like a couple weeks, right? [00:58:52] Speaker C: Yeah, yeah, it was, it was, it was a vanity run. [00:58:55] Speaker A: And yeah, it was panned too, I think, and didn't do well. There's our boy, David Mamet. We love Glengarry Glenn Ross, but we. [00:59:03] Speaker C: Do, we do love a ABC joke. [00:59:06] Speaker A: We do. We love, we love Alec Baldwin. [00:59:09] Speaker B: That's one of my favorite lines of all time. What's my name? [00:59:13] Speaker A: You. You. [00:59:15] Speaker B: That's so great. [00:59:16] Speaker C: It is good. [00:59:16] Speaker A: It's like so. That's. Yeah, good scene, Good scene. And as, as we all know, not in the play, but. [00:59:23] Speaker B: Yeah, not in the play. Just introduced the play. [00:59:26] Speaker A: People like that wasn't in the play. [00:59:29] Speaker B: Do they add it in later after the movie? [00:59:32] Speaker A: I guess that's. [00:59:32] Speaker C: Yeah, I'm, I'm pretty sure that it's it was at least in the play as it was performed in Gunderson at Oklahoma State University. [00:59:43] Speaker B: Who played the fucking guy? [00:59:45] Speaker C: I don't remember because that's. That was my first introduction to the ABC quote. And the ABC wasn't in the play. [00:59:50] Speaker A: Well, always be closing. Was. Wasn't that a. Wasn't that in. [00:59:56] Speaker C: I thought. I thought that was a. I thought that was a movie exclusive. [00:59:59] Speaker B: That. Yeah. So it's the fuck you thing. [01:00:02] Speaker C: And they did the ABC when they performed it in Gunderson. [01:00:07] Speaker A: I could. I don't know. I'd have to look back on my files because I don't remember it being in there. [01:00:11] Speaker B: I don't remember. [01:00:12] Speaker A: I don't know. I don't remember. Do you think they'll be sure Dustin say, played. He would have played that role. Shout out. Dustin said. [01:00:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:00:24] Speaker A: Tulsa. Tulsa. Tulsa something. [01:00:26] Speaker B: Tulsa King. He's. Tulsa King. [01:00:30] Speaker C: He is Sylvester Stallone. [01:00:32] Speaker A: Sylvester Stallone. [01:00:32] Speaker C: He plays. He plays Sylvester Stallone in the show. [01:00:35] Speaker A: Yeah, he's also. But he was, wasn't he Pacino's part? He was Pacino's part. [01:00:41] Speaker B: I remember. [01:00:42] Speaker C: That's asking too much of me. [01:00:43] Speaker A: I know. I'm sorry. [01:00:44] Speaker C: I remember. I remember very specific things, not the whole nothing important. [01:00:50] Speaker A: Coffees for closers. That's a great one too. Which I think is in the play, but is it said by Alec Baldwin in the movie? Anyway, I digress. [01:01:00] Speaker C: We are now claiming $2,000. [01:01:03] Speaker B: Now that we know it's $2,000, the robber drops it on the balcony. [01:01:07] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:01:07] Speaker B: And then there are some naughty boys. They shoot at Spawn. [01:01:10] Speaker C: Yeah, and speaking of naughty boys, Johnny, These naughty boys that Spawn takes out. And then there's the naughty boy who forgot the milk in the kitchen. Oh, how dare he, Johnny, he left the milk. [01:01:24] Speaker B: He's gonna go get it. [01:01:25] Speaker C: Oh, man. Spawn standing in front of the moon next to all these old ass TV antennas is badass as hell. [01:01:33] Speaker B: Well, then it's hilarious because Spawn just decides he's like, I'm gonna ride these guys like a reindeer. [01:01:39] Speaker C: He just like straps them all together and throws them through the air. [01:01:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:01:46] Speaker C: Could you. Could you imagine being hogtied with a fucking fire escape railing? Oof, shit. [01:01:55] Speaker A: And just flying through the air. [01:01:57] Speaker C: Oh, wait, no. He uses the antennas. They're TV antennas, not radio. Okay. [01:02:02] Speaker B: Still though, in the silhouette, it looks like Santa and his reindeer. [01:02:08] Speaker C: Yeah, it was Santa. [01:02:10] Speaker A: Oh, oh. [01:02:12] Speaker C: And then Greggy says. Yeah, he's so sad because he's counted these presents so many times and Santa didn't leave any. [01:02:20] Speaker B: He screams to Them. Please come back. Please don't go. [01:02:24] Speaker C: Oh, God, it's so. [01:02:26] Speaker B: But he's gone. [01:02:27] Speaker C: You forgot my mommy's present. [01:02:30] Speaker A: But guess what? [01:02:33] Speaker B: $2,000. [01:02:38] Speaker C: I like. I like. I like how many beats this takes. Where. It's just like Greggy's eye. He sees the money, and then we see Greggy, and then he sees the money, Then we see Greggy. He sees the money. He's working on his comedic timing. [01:02:55] Speaker A: Awesome. Thank you, Santa. Thank you. [01:03:01] Speaker B: Also, just to be clear, that's worth approximately $4,250 today. [01:03:06] Speaker C: Oh, nice. [01:03:06] Speaker A: Dang. Which would be one month's rent. [01:03:13] Speaker B: Soon. [01:03:13] Speaker C: Barely. For some people I know. [01:03:16] Speaker A: Yeah, for sure. [01:03:17] Speaker C: And then this. Who? Some. Some people I. Some. I work with some people who pay ridiculous rents. [01:03:26] Speaker B: That's crazy. [01:03:27] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:03:29] Speaker A: I couldn't imagine paying that much. [01:03:31] Speaker C: It's insane. [01:03:33] Speaker B: To each their own to eat. Like doctors, right? [01:03:39] Speaker C: I work with some doctors. Yes. [01:03:42] Speaker B: Yeah, they probably live in. Yeah, they're probably. Yeah. [01:03:44] Speaker C: Yeah. There are doctors that own condos in Streeterville, so that way they only have to walk to work. I might have just doxed myself. [01:03:53] Speaker A: Oops. Hey, that's fine. We got it. [01:04:02] Speaker B: He gets that 2,000 and he goes, God damn, that smells good. [01:04:06] Speaker C: He turns. He turns evil. In this one panel with his. His shadow face, he says, I am now shadow face. [01:04:14] Speaker B: I do love the smell of money. Like a big stack of my fresh bill. Smells good. [01:04:18] Speaker A: Oh, Lord. [01:04:20] Speaker C: Oh, it does. [01:04:20] Speaker A: Like a good old. Pack a good packet. [01:04:23] Speaker C: Getting. Getting those. Getting those brand new ones fresh from the bank that like. Like don't have a bend to them at all. Oh, yeah. [01:04:34] Speaker A: No cocaine residue. [01:04:39] Speaker B: So Greggy, Very thematic. [01:04:40] Speaker C: Greggy wraps up this money in a box and puts a bow on it. [01:04:43] Speaker B: Can you imagine if your five year old got you a stack of money? $2,000, $4,250 today. [01:04:51] Speaker A: And wrapped it up. [01:04:53] Speaker C: And wrapped it up. Yeah. First off, I would look at that wrapping job and I would be like the. Is that. [01:05:00] Speaker A: Be like, hold on. [01:05:01] Speaker C: Is that. [01:05:03] Speaker B: He did pretty good. [01:05:04] Speaker A: He did pretty good. [01:05:05] Speaker B: I will say, for a five year old, that's pretty intense. [01:05:07] Speaker A: For a five year old, well, the problem. [01:05:11] Speaker C: Yeah. And then he just sits there staring at the tree and he's like. He says, oh, Christmas. [01:05:17] Speaker A: Christmas, man. [01:05:18] Speaker C: Oh, Martha, this is so cool. [01:05:23] Speaker A: This is so cool. [01:05:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:05:26] Speaker A: So where's his sister go? She not in the restaurant. [01:05:29] Speaker C: She goes to the party and just. [01:05:30] Speaker B: I guess she dies at the party. [01:05:32] Speaker C: She becomes the great. The ghost of Christmas past. Yeah. She's not. She doesn't appear in the party that they. [01:05:39] Speaker B: So she's allergic to nuts and she eats the nuts and they're driving her home and she sticks her head out the window. [01:05:46] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:47] Speaker C: That's why. Yeah. Okay. [01:05:48] Speaker A: She asked for cheese pizza and they were all out of cheese pizza. So she got really mad. [01:05:53] Speaker C: So then. So then Bibby's. Greggy's mom just yells for 90 solid seconds. [01:05:59] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:05:59] Speaker C: While Cricky's just laying in bed being like, I saw Santa. [01:06:03] Speaker A: I saw Santa. [01:06:06] Speaker B: That is this issue directed by Ari Aster. This is the part made me cry since she spent the money. [01:06:15] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:06:15] Speaker B: For all the other people. Poor people in the apartment building. [01:06:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:06:19] Speaker B: Brought a tear to my eye. [01:06:20] Speaker A: Yeah. Phyllis, man. [01:06:23] Speaker C: Phyllis. Good lady. Phyllis is a good lady. [01:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah. Maybe, maybe, maybe eat a couple meals. Phyllis. I'm not trying to. Again, be. [01:06:31] Speaker B: Maybe, maybe checking in your daughter. [01:06:32] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah. Checking on your daughter. [01:06:34] Speaker C: Find her maybe. [01:06:36] Speaker A: Phyllis, you're. You need to put on, you know, I'm just saying. Skinny. [01:06:40] Speaker B: It was the 90s, Tom. [01:06:41] Speaker C: It was the 90s. If. If you were a mom ingesting anything more than Virginia Slims and Diet Coke, you were eating too much. [01:06:49] Speaker A: True, true. That's a good point. [01:06:52] Speaker B: That's true. [01:06:53] Speaker A: Phyllis was right on it. [01:06:55] Speaker B: And then we get for you, Tom, a bunch of people. You have no idea who they are. [01:06:59] Speaker C: But to us, they mean the absolute world. [01:07:03] Speaker B: A bunch of Spawn characters. [01:07:05] Speaker A: Yeah, I think I got that. I got that through the next. The next couple of. Just the. The context clues of that. [01:07:12] Speaker C: So the. The yellow ornament is Terry Fitzgerald, Wanda and their daughter Cyan. [01:07:19] Speaker B: Wanda was Spawn's wife. [01:07:21] Speaker C: Wanda was Spawn's wife before he died. Yeah. And Terry was his best friend. And Terror, Spawn and Wander were unable to conceive. And so Spawn, seeing that she now has a child, meant that it was all his fault. [01:07:36] Speaker A: Yeah. He couldn't create. He couldn't create a. He couldn't create a Spawn. Spawn. [01:07:47] Speaker C: Then the. The blue ornament are his cop pals. They're. They're a real Laurel and Hardy esque pairing. A fat. A fat, slovenly guy and a skinny little. A skinny little. Know it all. [01:08:03] Speaker A: Cool. [01:08:05] Speaker C: And again, we have to mention the donut with a bow on it. [01:08:10] Speaker A: Oh. [01:08:12] Speaker C: Then the red ornament are Bobby and Bootsy, a couple of unhomed men who live in an alley in lower Manhattan. The same alley that Spawn actually lives in. Because Spawn lives in an alley at this point. [01:08:26] Speaker B: Which we now cut to. Yeah. [01:08:30] Speaker C: And just so you know, Bobby the bald. The bald guy, his best friend in the world is Bootsy. Who's the guy next to him in the hat? Boots. He turns out to be an alien or. Not an alien. An angel. And when Bootsy goes back to heaven, Bobby loses his mind and drinks himself to death. So. [01:08:48] Speaker A: Oh, we got. [01:08:49] Speaker B: That's really sad. [01:08:51] Speaker C: It's sad as. [01:08:54] Speaker A: Oh, but for now. [01:08:55] Speaker B: But then we. [01:08:56] Speaker C: They have joy. [01:08:57] Speaker B: We cut the Spawn alley where Spawn is sitting by himself. [01:09:00] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:09:01] Speaker B: On Christmas Eve on a throne made. [01:09:03] Speaker C: Of garbage and bones that the unhomed men have made for him. Because he's like king of the. He's the king of the alley. [01:09:10] Speaker B: And he's looking at the picture of his family that could have been. He's covering up Terry's face. [01:09:16] Speaker C: Yeah. Yeah. Isn't this the best Christmas? Every. [01:09:22] Speaker B: The breast Christmas you say. [01:09:23] Speaker C: Did I say breast Christmas? Well, I mean, I think. [01:09:26] Speaker A: I mean, you know, what are you. [01:09:28] Speaker C: Gonna do about it, Gianna? You gotta. [01:09:30] Speaker B: You got. [01:09:30] Speaker C: You got something to say about a breast Christmas? [01:09:33] Speaker A: Yeah. That baby's. That baby. That baby's. That baby might be breastfeeding and Terry's probably sucking on them. [01:09:40] Speaker B: Wanda. [01:09:41] Speaker A: Boob. [01:09:42] Speaker C: I was gonna. I was gonna say it's the tits, but, you know, that works too. [01:09:46] Speaker A: Yeah, right? [01:09:47] Speaker B: It works. [01:09:49] Speaker C: Sweet. [01:09:50] Speaker A: That was amazing. That was. I was like. Man, I was like, what a way to start it out. [01:09:58] Speaker B: We'll save it. [01:10:00] Speaker C: Well, so, yeah, we talked. We talked a lot about. We talked a lot about animals in this, strangely. You know, reindeers and. Well, mostly reindeer. Maybe some more reindeers. Fat geese. But, you know, A silent night it is, Johnny. Which is rare with all these dogs I got here. So I'm gonna have to rate these dogs here. It's pretty good. But that also means that we gotta rate this puppy. [01:10:29] Speaker B: It's time to rate the puppy. So this is where to review it, Tom. We each give a review and we give it a score out of five. I'll go first, I guess. So Tom can see the format here, but. Yeah, it's. This is my fourth time visiting on the show. Probably my fifth or sixth time reading it. It's a great issue. It's just a good Christmas story. It's heartwarming. Made me cry. The great capilla art is very detailed and just. He captures the innocence of the child and the grittiness of the spawn. The spawn every year. It's great to revisit. And I'm gonna give it five snowballs. [01:11:17] Speaker C: Hell, yeah. [01:11:17] Speaker B: Out of five. I still want to snowball. [01:11:21] Speaker C: We're gonna. We're gonna make them one of these Years. [01:11:24] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:11:25] Speaker C: Yeah. [01:11:25] Speaker B: Needs to mail them to me. [01:11:26] Speaker C: Yeah. Would you like to go second time or would you like to go last? [01:11:31] Speaker A: I mean, I'll go second, I guess. I mean, this is my first. This is my first spawn, and so I. I don't want to give it. I. I don't want to, like, give it a top top. So do you guys do points, or is it just one through five? [01:11:47] Speaker B: You can do points. [01:11:48] Speaker C: Whatever. [01:11:49] Speaker B: Whatever you want to do. However you can do anything you want to do. [01:11:53] Speaker A: All right, I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it four and a half. Nice eyelashes. Very long eyelashes. [01:12:03] Speaker C: Hell, yeah. [01:12:04] Speaker B: From this baby. Bubsy. [01:12:08] Speaker A: Bibsy's eyelashes. I'm gonna give four. [01:12:10] Speaker B: They have AI filter for that on Snapchat. To get the big baby, you're gonna have to. [01:12:15] Speaker C: You're gonna have to. To code it yourself, Johnny. You'll make a mint. You'll make a mint. [01:12:21] Speaker A: I bet there's totally one for sure. [01:12:23] Speaker B: David Cern. [01:12:24] Speaker C: Hell, yeah. I fucking love this issue, Johnny. It's great. I love reading it every year. It's fun. I have absolutely no problems with it anywhere because like you said. Yeah, the story is good. This is Todd McFarlane putting his heart into it. And when Todd McFarlane puts his heart into it, it's usually pretty good. And just Jeff. Greg Capullo going fucking ape shit all over these pages. I'm gonna give it. I'm gonna give it. Five candles in the window at the top of the building from the first panel. [01:13:03] Speaker B: That's why a bunch of hippies smoking. [01:13:04] Speaker A: Weed and lighting the candle and cover up the smell over in the Harlem apartment. And I promise, I. After reading this, if I find $2,000 on. On a building. Okay, I will. [01:13:19] Speaker B: You throw a party. [01:13:19] Speaker A: You're gonna throw a party? [01:13:21] Speaker C: Hell yeah.

[01:13:31] Speaker C: And you're not gonna be substantively out of debt any further than you were to begin with. You just won't have $2,000. [01:13:39] Speaker A: Hey, that's less interest over seven years or whatever. [01:13:42] Speaker C: Yeah, whatever it is. Yeah. [01:13:45] Speaker B: Oh, yeesh. [01:13:47] Speaker C: Yikes.

We don't take anyone away. [01:14:19] Speaker C: Could you imagine? [01:14:20] Speaker B: Then we'll do the Christmas adventures. We'll have Tom Logan spawnography on, and then we'll have.

At some point, we won't be involved in any way, shape, or form. [01:14:38] Speaker B: It would be fun to have two casts. That'd be. That'd be a challenge. That'd be fun. [01:14:41] Speaker C: It would be fun. [01:14:42] Speaker B: Maybe next year we can do Tom and Brand. That'd be a hoot. [01:14:44] Speaker C: Or we could do the Branham Brothers. And they could tell. They could tell us about what little shits they were to each other around Christmas time. [01:14:53] Speaker A: True. Some good Christmas stories. I bet they were like. I bet they wrote. [01:14:59] Speaker B: They're like, christmas is honorable. [01:15:01] Speaker A: Yeah. They're like. They're like, we would never. We would never fight during Christmas. Our dad would get us at 3am we go cut wood and like, like. [01:15:11] Speaker B: We go cut wood and we make a sleigh. [01:15:13] Speaker A: Yeah. He's like, we had to make a sleigh before sunrise.

[01:17:05] Speaker C: These statues that they keep having to put further and further away from the people because they won't stop touching them. [01:17:12] Speaker A: And they're all rubbed off. It's like, okay, guys. Okay, guys. [01:17:18] Speaker C: Knock it off. [01:17:18] Speaker B: That's awesome. Well, yeah, Listen to that album. [01:17:20] Speaker C: Hell yeah.

[01:17:28] Speaker A: I mean, that was great. [01:17:30] Speaker C: Okay, Maybe there'll be a special Spawn Shrek crossover that we can. [01:17:36] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:17:36] Speaker C: Get you. [01:17:44] Speaker A: There should be an issue where they meet and they're like, we have to fight this battle. [01:17:48] Speaker C: Shrek comes out. Get out of my swamp. He might. [01:17:50] Speaker B: He might be in small Kills every spot. Or Small kills everyone. [01:17:54] Speaker C: Maybe in the background. I don't know. We could look. [01:17:58] Speaker B: No, there's definitely a Shrek in Spawn. Kill. There's a Shrek. [01:18:02] Speaker A: There's a Shrek. [01:18:03] Speaker B: Every Spawn, there's a Shrek. [01:18:05] Speaker A: Cool. [01:18:05] Speaker C: Yeah, I think we mentioned it. Yeah. [01:18:10] Speaker A: Damn. [01:18:10] Speaker C: I mean, if there's something that exists that wasn't in the background of Spawn Kills every Spawn. It doesn't actually exist. [01:18:18] Speaker B: Correct. [01:18:19] Speaker C: Yes. [01:18:20] Speaker A: Very cool. [01:18:21] Speaker C: So, you know, from us. From us here regarding Spawn, you know, next time we do this, we'll do it in a year with another Christmas issue. So find yourself a copy of issue 39 before next year so you can read along with us. [01:18:37] Speaker B: But other than that, ask for it for Christmas. May put on your Christmas. [01:18:39] Speaker C: Oh, yeah. Hell yeah. Do that. Do that. [01:18:42] Speaker A: Super good. [01:18:42] Speaker C: But. But other than that. Just the happy holiday times, you know, I hope you. If you enjoy this time of year, I hope you get all the joy out of it that you want. If you don't enjoy this time of year, I hope you can find things to distract you from it that aren't destructive, either physically or mentally. And then she just. You know, there's a reason that all of the festivals around this time are the Festival of Lights. Because it's dark as Shit. So hopefully you find some light somewhere that will help. [01:19:16] Speaker B: Absolutely. [01:19:17] Speaker C: So we. We love you all. And with that, I have nothing to say. But, Tom, Johnny, may the scorched be with you.

Well, we'll tell you who won in the battle of Old Man v Baby. [01:19:44] Speaker B: Yeah, maybe. [01:19:46] Speaker C: Maybe Johnny will direct a small video of an old man fighting a baby. [01:19:51] Speaker B: I'll fight a baby. [01:19:52] Speaker A: And hopefully by then we'll know if Netflix. Netflix controls the universe so. [01:19:56] Speaker C: Well, I do. I mean, they'll. They'll know because they'll either be listening to us on Netflix or not. [01:20:02] Speaker A: It's true. We're going to be picked up by Netflix. [01:20:06] Speaker C: It's the only way you'll hear us in the future is if we get picked up by Netflix. [01:20:11] Speaker A: Your podcasts are only in theaters. Like, it's, like, very confused.
