5:41 Christmas memories. Just literally self-explanatory,

5:45 similar to Halloween, but I'm sure all of it, yes, Mark, all

5:51 of so all of us, I'm sure have some type of memories of some

6:02 kind. Back in my day.

6:07 Oh, oh, Oh no. I don't know about you guys, but

6:13 I have very good and very bad Christmas memories.

6:18 Mine are good to me. Mine are about the same.

6:22 Yeah, good to. I have lots of melancholy

6:27 memories of times gone by. Jesus well.

7:16 Studios are filmed in front of a live audience.

7:22 See, there it is. There's life.

7:25 How about you, Mark? How about you share one of your

7:28 favorite Christmas memories? I want to defer to somebody else

7:35 first. Come in all right while go.

7:39 So. I remember get away.

7:42 I remember as a kid, we used to always go to both my

7:46 grandparents, but my dad's side especially, like it was there

7:50 was a lot of kids there. And by kids, I mean like from my

7:53 grandparents. And so the Christmas tree was

8:03 always. Packed.

8:05 Like it was more Christmas presents than than I've ever

8:08 seen in my entire life. Every every year it felt like.

8:12 But there was one year in particular where me and my

8:14 brother were just like opening up our gifts or whatever.

8:16 Like we opened up all our gifts and then all of a sudden my dad

8:21 and I think my uncle slide out this giant Christmas present.

8:26 Like holy crap, who is that for? And I I hear this is for Ethan

8:34 and my brother and my eyes are just like what it like this was

8:39 a huge present. It was like TV size.

8:44 Holy shit. I.

8:45 Me and my brother start ripping it open and it was an air hockey

8:50 table. It was like.

8:53 One of the coolest, Mark, you know what the what the IRA

8:56 hockey table looks like it was in the basement for.

8:58 Yeah. No, it it was in the basement

9:00 for. Yeah, I got that for Christmas.

9:02 I'm just like, watch. My mind was infinitely blown.

9:10 Just whoa. Yeah.

9:12 'Cause I'm like, there's no way such a big present was for me.

9:18 I mean it was for both me and my brother, but still.

9:19 Like there was just no way it was for a kid.

9:23 It was impossible at my age to wrap my brain around that.

9:29 And still. To.

9:30 This. Day it remains one of my like

9:32 favorite Christmas memories ever.

9:37 That's awesome. That's pretty the amount of use,

9:39 the amount of use that we got out of the Iraqi, we beat the

9:42 shit out of that. We we didn't just.

9:47 Play air hockey with it either we used this fortifications for

9:51 nerf wars at some point. Did we?

9:55 I know we had a like a like a basket down there with blankets

10:00 in and at one point. I thought.

10:03 We used this part of the fortifications we might have.

10:06 There was also like the. What was?

10:09 It the fucking. Step.

10:11 Two tub of toys that we had and we would take the lid and use

10:15 that as well. Yeah.

10:16 When? When?

10:19 We do those nerve fights, that half of the basement, it was

10:22 unfair. Yeah, I know there was.

10:27 You had you had fucking the trenches on one side and no

10:30 man's land on the others. That's.

10:34 Cool there. Was a tactical disparity.

10:38 We tried to make it fair, but it just was.

10:41 It just was not fair. It.

10:45 Was like storming the fucking Alamo.

10:49 Anyway yeah me like me and my brother and whoever else played

10:54 that like beat the we would. How me and my brother played is

10:59 we would slam the disc as hard as we possibly could and it

11:04 would like probably 5 * a game. Like upwards of five times it

11:12 would fly off the table because of how hard we were.

11:15 It was flat until it wasn't. It was gone because of how hard

11:18 we were hitting it. And we do the same thing with

11:20 foosball. There was a foosball table at at

11:25 a beach house we had. We would do the exact same shit.

11:29 And what's funny with the foosball table, if you hit it

11:32 hard, it would go right into the goal.

11:35 Jesus, I know this. Is like not Christmas Eve but

11:38 like the my girlfriend at one point was like well you just do

11:42 this and slam it as hard as possible and it went right in

11:44 and we both died of laughter instantly because my point

11:48 proven. See it works.

11:52 Whose? Ball is the sport of strength.

11:58 Oh God. Yeah, biggest gift I ever

12:01 received as a child in terms of size.

12:06 Holy shit. That's pretty lit.

12:10 Ain't go lie. Fucking air hockey man.

12:12 Yes. It was fucking lit.

12:17 As the. Cool kids say yeah fucking.

12:24 Yeah, fucking so you. Yeah.

12:28 Oh, wait a minute. Go.

12:32 What about one of you guys, huh? What do you Emma?

12:40 You got anything? My memories are very skewed.

12:48 A lot of my happiest memories were kind of ruined by poor

12:51 memories. Oh, I.

12:56 Suppose the most funniest memory I have in recent times is my

13:01 grandmother and you. I'm sure the viewers don't know

13:07 this, but my husband and my father share the same name.

13:12 And over the last almost 13 years of us being together, my

13:17 grandmother could never distinguish who was who on our

13:21 Christmas gifts. And so she would write, you

13:25 know, my mom's mark and my Mark and mark refused to do this, but

13:33 I wanted him to take my last name just to sew it even further

13:36 into being funny. But I'm curious to see if she

13:40 does it again this year. It would be funny.

13:45 It would be funny that would. Be an epic gamer move, not going

13:48 to lie. Yeah, epic gamer Strat Jesus.

14:00 Well, I guess for me, one of my favorite memories is this shit

14:12 was funny when my besides like having like Christmas with my

14:18 folks, like my parents and all that we'd go and also spend like

14:26 Christmas Eve with my uncle and my grandma.

14:30 And this one year by Uncle Chris, he the presidency got us

14:39 were something that we wanted. So I think that year I think he

14:45 got me the Star Wars episode 3 and DVD or some shit.

14:50 At the time I was probably 10 or 11, I believe, but the way that

15:01 he. Did the.

15:04 Presents was that gift was under a pair of like, under like a

15:10 thing of socks, right. And I remember when he did that

15:16 because I remember looking like, Ah, man, shit, you know, But

15:19 then my uncle's like move the socks and I'm like, oh, oh, Star

15:23 Wars. Fuck, yeah.

15:24 So I I thought it was kind of funny.

15:30 My brother did not find that funny.

15:33 He was kind of pissed off, I find.

15:39 That kind of funny it? It was just, it was clever.

15:42 Fuck you. You know, you know how much I

15:45 wish I would get sucks nowadays. From how much?

15:48 Our dog fucking chews through them.

15:52 I. Was like I get I get socks and a

15:55 movie. Wow.

15:57 Honestly, like now being an adult, like if somebody did

16:01 that, I'd be like, man, fuck yeah, the socks.

16:02 All this movie is really cool, but the socks, yes.

16:06 Like. I I'm doing that with.

16:08 Underwear I have, I have a lot of socks.

16:11 I'm good on socks, but underwear?

16:12 Oh dude I I I'll take bro I. Feel that I have boxes.

16:16 Of those. I I.

16:19 Could definitely say having grown up that I I am shocked at

16:23 how quickly I moved through underwear just because of work.

16:28 Just like do you? When you go to work, do you shit

16:31 down and like RIP so much ass that you just burn a hole?

16:35 No, no, no, I, I I'm talking about for the epic project that

16:40 when I still worked at Mark's, just the amount of moving around

16:45 that I used to have to do, the amount of ripping redded every

16:49 pair of underwear of our own I can.

16:52 See it straight down. To the individual fibers.

16:56 Yes. You just see Mark bend down.

17:01 Like. Like my my underwear would just

17:03 resemble rags at that point. Like loincloths, they.

17:09 Still do. Yes.

17:12 That shit was great. You're.

17:13 Still ripping ass and ripping through your shorts, Jesus.

17:22 But yeah, that's, I'd say probably like one of my favorite

17:26 memories, yeah. I can't say I've ever gotten

17:30 like a trick gift before. And there's always just been

17:35 like the and like none of those, none of those things were like,

17:38 oh, you put it in a box in a box, in a box in a box.

17:43 I've never. Gotten 1 do.

17:45 You want trickiest? Do you want to know what my

17:48 family does? Oh no, we.

17:51 Are the veteran of of Fuck Your Christmas OK?

17:57 There was one year where my aunt and my grandmother and I, we

18:02 were all competing for the worst wrappings.

18:06 I. Used tithing tape on one of the

18:10 gifts side. So like when you're putting a

18:12 vinyl on the side of your house, there is like a tape that you

18:16 could use to help stick it to the side of the wall.

18:20 This. Tape does not RIP and barely

18:24 cuts like we are violent with our presents.

18:31 And you know, it gets even worse when you had your Christmas

18:34 cards and you put really fine glitter or confetti in it.

18:40 I've learned my lesson over the years to open it over a bag.

18:43 I don't trust anybody anymore. I think about the worst that my

18:50 dad ever did to me was he took bolts and a wooden box and he

18:55 took a present of mine and literally bolted it together in

18:58 a wooden box. Jesus, my God.

19:04 Mom. Get the crowbar, yeah.

19:06 No really, there was one year that all of us thought it was a

19:11 good idea to use like fine milled confetti and I mean there

19:16 was like 6 of us in a room opening boxes of just confetti

19:20 everywhere. Oh no.

19:23 And think about it this way, I have cats.

19:26 What do cats do? They track shit everywhere.

19:29 That's the last thing I was. Going to say eat it, but that

19:31 works too. Oh yeah.

19:35 So. You want to play Gifts War with

19:38 us? Oh no.

19:39 No, I'm good. Mark, I don't think we've done

19:43 it as badly to you, no. I don't think so.

19:47 Mark is the only ones exempt from the pain.

19:54 Fuck this is this is information.

20:02 Be. Careful what you receive from

20:03 this family, yeah? Yeah, yeah.

20:15 Oh God. God.

20:21 So wait, Mark, do you have one for Ethan?

20:25 One of y'all, I mean none. That I can really recall off the

20:30 top of my head because like that was that was pretty much the

20:33 only one that I really remember was that.

20:38 I mean like I'm sure there have been like other cool gifts in

20:42 the past. Like.

20:45 I guess. I guess one of the best gifts

20:49 that I ever got, besides that air hockey table, was for

20:55 Christmas one year we got an Xbox 360.

21:04 Which? Is very surprising because

21:06 growing up we had stuff like the N64, like this is like, this is

21:12 when I was like barely conscious was like PlayStation 164.

21:17 And then we got the PlayStation two.

21:18 We played the fuck out of this out of the PlayStation two.

21:22 And then for Christmas one year, Xbox 360, not the PlayStation

21:26 three. I mean, thank God, because the

21:29 more I, the more I learn about the PlayStation 3, the more I'm

21:31 like, yeah, I'm glad I missed out.

21:34 Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, anyway.

21:38 Yeah, we got a PlayStation Three with Black Ops 2.

21:45 And then I, I, this wasn't Christmas, but I remember one

21:47 day Mark bringing over Halo 4 and doing like, you know, they

21:51 had the two discs, the installed disc and the actual like play

21:53 the game disc. So we're sitting there for like

21:56 an hour or whatever. Me, me and my brother Mark, you

21:58 know, like installing Halo 4th and I want like we played.

22:01 Then I'm like, this is the best thing ever.

22:04 No, an Xbox 360 with plays with Black Ops 2.

22:10 Probably the most played game I have on Xbox is Call of Duty

22:17 Black Ops 2. I played that for years, both

22:22 multiplayer. The zombies.

22:24 I played the campaign once, wasn't a big fan but I finished

22:26 it. I did the route where you tried

22:29 to kill him but he you know, just blocks her gun.

22:32 Whatever Ramirez I think his name is.

22:36 I killed him. The the.

22:42 Amount of sheer hours I got off that game alone.

22:46 Especially the zombies. Dude origins Origins.

22:51 Best map ever conceived. Yes, well, I guess Mark, do you

23:07 got anything? If not I I've got 1.

23:11 I like to. Whatever I want to think about

23:15 happy Christmases, I like to think back to all the work that

23:19 my sister did to really keep the holiday traditional alive in our

23:23 family. You know, after, after mom and

23:27 dad split, things got really strenuous of just trying to

23:32 maintain some sense of just normalcy in our family.

23:37 And with mom and dad off and doing whatever fighting they did

23:44 or just, you know, focusing on other family and whatnot.

23:50 My sister would always just kind of take up the reins for the

23:54 holidays and just try to keep up the, the spirits as much as she

23:59 possibly could. I mean, she, she would go out of

24:03 her way and you know, she was a high school girl.

24:06 Just. Going out of her way to write

24:09 notes as if they're from Santa and leave them out for for all

24:15 of us kids to go out and find and read.

24:18 Or she would be doing a lot of the decorating, a lot of just

24:24 the the fun little things that we used to do as a family

24:29 together. And.

24:31 Just she she really tried her hardest to make make bad

24:36 situations just seem less so, especially during Christmas

24:40 time. And you?

24:48 Know it just. Makes.

24:50 Me feel happy just just knowing how much she actually cared

24:54 because you have being just one of three siblings with just you

25:01 being one of two younger brothers and having a sister in

25:04 high school, sometimes you kind of expect your sister just kind

25:09 of. Be.

25:10 Dismissive be Oh, I'm just going to focus on my thing it's high

25:15 school. It's my time to start fighting

25:17 my life. But she really did kind of take

25:21 a step back and focus on making sure that we can still get

25:24 through. That's cool.

25:30 That's. Real nice, especially with like

25:35 with Christmas and whatnot, you know, a lot of people are, you

25:38 know, they're happy about the holidays and a lot of people

25:41 aren't. Yeah.

25:43 You know, it's, it's just one of those things where it's like, I

25:47 hope for the for the people that are like not in the holiday

25:53 spirit, at least they find peace and something with it.

25:58 Yeah, I find some. Sort of happiness, some sort of

26:02 little memories cherish and at least try to spend some time

26:06 with family or whether it be their blood or the family that

26:10 they find. Like your friends or your

26:15 family, too, you know? It doesn't always have to be

26:18 blood, you know? Yeah, because family can be so

26:22 weird. And like that, that's how I've

26:24 always felt like I love my family debates, but like I've

26:26 always kept my friends closer than my family.

26:30 It's just how I've always been like.

26:32 It's just I find that I connect with them more.

26:36 Yeah. We play games, we fuck around

26:40 every day, especially growing up, like every day I would be in

26:44 a party chat with Mark, yeah, or whoever was like Nick, Ethan,

26:54 whoever was on at the time. Just.

27:00 Every day, just try to set aside some time to keep connected with

27:04 friends, right? OK.

27:08 And like going back to my like my dad's side of the family, the

27:13 big side. That's one thing I didn't like.

27:17 I always had the shortest. And I still do.

27:22 Social battery out of everyone in my family, even my mom's

27:25 side. Like as a kid, you know, your

27:32 parents drive me there and I'm like, when are we leaving?

27:34 When are we leaving? And it's like, oh, soon, we'll

27:36 leave soon. Whatever, two hours later.

27:39 Like I I just, I want to be home.

27:42 Yeah. So.

27:43 Many people and I want to be home.

27:45 So like. That's.

27:49 I know. It's not like the most negative

27:50 thing, but like it. For me, it's like it, there was

27:55 one time where I went back to that feeling and it was the most

27:58 anxiety feeling feeling I've ever had and I don't want to

28:00 have it again. That's why I always like make my

28:03 way be able to have an easy way out.

28:11 I get that, that I understand. I, I'm, I wouldn't say like my

28:18 social battery can be short, but I'm like even like Ethan knows

28:23 this. I hate big fucking groups of

28:26 people. Just makes me anxious as shit.

28:30 Can't really explain why it just does be it maybe it's just too

28:37 many people or it's like I don't have problems with like loud

28:41 sounds to a certain degree, but I don't know.

28:45 I'm just just a person that doesn't like being around like

28:50 like 20-30 people. You feel like you're like closed

28:54 in and shit. It.

28:56 Depends on the context for me. Like for example, I play Magic

29:03 and I was actually just up at the shop today playing Magic and

29:06 it was a very loud Friday for how many people there were.

29:11 Like I was like talking over people.

29:13 I mean granted normally I'm not one for loud noises.

29:16 Like I check out of the conversation like I shut down

29:18 like. It's a sensory.

29:20 Issue for me, but for whatever reason I was in the moment, I

29:24 was living it up and I was like laughing, having a blast.

29:28 Oh my. It was so much fun, but yeah, I

29:32 know like. For the most part I can't really

29:37 do like big groups. Like if I go to the store.

29:42 What, during rush hour? That sucks.

29:43 Oh yeah. But.

29:45 If I go to a concert where I'm expecting a lot of people, sure,

29:48 whatever. It's just more so like what I

29:53 expect to happen. Well, thinking about it, there's

30:03 a really funny fucking Christmas memory from what?

30:13 God, 20/20/13. Oh shit, yeah, it's.

30:20 It's when the Xbox One came out, so I think it was 2013.

30:26 So for Christmas, I asked, you know, for the Xbox One and, you

30:34 know, and a laptop, because the laptop I had previously was old

30:39 it, you know, it needed an upgrade.

30:42 And I remember unwrapping my gifts and I'm like, Oh yeah, I

30:47 got the Xbox. Hell yeah.

30:49 And I go to the, the next, the, the next gift and I RIP it open

30:53 and I'm like, wait, what the fuck?

30:56 It was a rack box, like a rack that came in the box.

31:05 That's it's box. And I'm like, and I'm just

31:09 sitting here staring at this, you know, I'm like, don't be an

31:13 asshole. Don't be an asshole.

31:14 Do you got the Xbox? Don't be an asshole.

31:16 You know, and fucking my, my, my dad's like just open the box,

31:24 look at it. And I'm like looking at it.

31:27 And I'm like, OK, And I look in there.

31:29 Oh OK, here's my laptop. And I just.

31:35 Apparently I had just such a dumbfounded face from what I was

31:39 told. And like.

31:42 Well, yeah, I unwrap this and it's a fucking wreck.

31:47 You know, like, yeah, I would have, if it actually was a

31:50 wreck, I would most likely have used it.

31:53 But I, I don't know, man, that that that was that was just some

31:57 fuck shit. I mean, it was funny.

32:04 And God, I, I had that laptop. I actually, I think I still have

32:09 it. It's just kind of at this point

32:11 it's super old now. So trying to work anything on

32:14 that is God, even Linux, I don't think saves it.

32:21 It was a Toshiba laptop, but I don't know that was that was

32:29 pretty fucking funny, man. But The thing is with that

32:35 laptop, man, when, when we got it, you know, it fucking had

32:40 Windows 8 on it. Oh.

32:45 God coming from 7:00 and then having to use 8 God.

32:53 OK, I feel like Windows has the same problem that Nintendo does

32:58 every other whatever version. Is.

33:03 Great. Yeah, just think.

33:09 About it, yeah. But I guess the, I guess the

33:15 thing I I would think of is is I guess with Nintendo, they're

33:20 because I'd fucking fucking Microsoft, man.

33:24 They're, I think Nintendo was a little bit more.

33:30 OK, what's the word? No.

33:34 Idea. A word of a word of a word, I

33:40 think. Nintendo.

33:41 Just does their OS is more frequently better than

33:48 Microsoft. Like I know they were trying to

33:55 fix 8 'cause I think 8.1 wasn't awful.

34:00 There's still Windows 8, but I just got, I don't ever want to

34:06 go back to that. I mean, the fucking laptop,

34:08 Like, I remember using it one day and then the next day

34:12 Windows wouldn't even boot. And I'm like, what the fuck?

34:19 I just get this laptop and now it's being shit.

34:23 Yeah, no, yeah, no. It was funny.

34:32 I will say I will appreciate, I think it's my mom every year.

34:40 We like all the kids that had a stocking, like there wasn't, you

34:43 know, big presence in there or anything.

34:45 Like it was like little small, like wrapped stuff.

34:48 Every year in the stocking there'd be like some like, you

34:51 know, small funny gift like I think last year I have them.

34:55 I have. Two that are unbuilt but I got a

34:57 propeller plane and a helicopter and like these are.

35:02 What's called? Makeup blocks and I have six of

35:07 them I built for them. There's like a race car, there's

35:09 AI think a biplant. The pipeline sucks anyway, like

35:14 just you know like little like stocking stuffers.

35:21 They're just they're just kind of cute.

35:22 I like them got. The stocking stuffers, we had

35:27 all the candy that I used to get during Christmas.

35:32 Holy, Oh my God. Every year we would get like

35:35 those, like those candy canes, and it would be like the plastic

35:39 candy canes, but they would be full of like Reese's or

35:41 whatever. Oh yeah, I remember those.

35:45 Fuck no. What?

35:48 Reese's. Yeah.

35:56 Well, well, do you have anything?

36:05 Well, I have things, but I don't know if I have them.

36:10 Yeah, sure. Yep.

36:18 What was? The worst gift everybody's ever

36:20 gotten. Like either you can.

36:24 Or stupid. Clothes as a kid, No, I think

36:30 there was one year where I opened up a gift and it was

36:32 operation. I never showed any interest in

36:36 operation and that that set in. It's like, you know, plastic

36:41 covering for years until my, my, my sister and I, or I guess my

36:46 sister was like, hey, you want to play operation?

36:48 I'm like, I guess I'll try it. Played it.

36:50 Once that was it. OK, no.

36:55 It's not, it's not one of those games that I find any sort of

36:58 replay value in. I'm like.

37:01 Especially. When the pieces get stuck in the

37:03 board, it just never made sense to me.

37:09 It's like, oh, we take pieces out and we try to not get

37:13 shocked or you know, you know, have the light light up,

37:17 whatever. I mean, the idea is you're

37:19 supposed to have the precision of a surgeon, meaning you can't

37:23 bump into things like think of it as of having a scalpel.

37:27 You don't want to stab the wrong artery.

37:29 That's kind of the idea. So you mean.

37:31 It's like 10s. Of.

37:33 Parkinson's. My God.

37:36 I. Have ADHD, I don't.

37:39 Get the. Patience for that I.

37:41 Shake too much. That too.

37:45 But you know, I'm a masochist, you know, I just take the

37:49 fucking thing. I do not care if you go off, I

37:56 will get the peace out of you. Oh.

37:58 I I don't even go for the peace, I just go for the pain.

38:04 Like. Like for me, it doesn't even

38:06 shock. It's just it, it's just a damn

38:08 buzzer that just makes you jump up, like, yeah, whatever.

38:11 Yeah, no, that's what it is. It's a buzzer.

38:13 Like the the. Dude's nose lights up red.

38:17 And it. Makes his nose of his life.

38:21 I I genuinely do not understand why I got operation.

38:25 Yeah. I get like even even as a kid, I

38:28 was like, why did I get this? Like this is when did I ever

38:34 ask, 'cause I like, I like the interactive or yeah, like the

38:39 more interactive board games as a kid, you know, like sorry or

38:41 stuff like that. Yes, where?

38:43 You actually get. To like move pieces and draw

38:45 cards and, you know, maybe mess up your opponent like that was

38:48 that was. That's.

38:51 Probably why I like magic because I like to play with the

38:54 pieces. Honestly, that would make sense.

39:00 Yeah, that would make sense. Emma.

39:03 I wonder if I wonder if ours is going to be the same source.

39:11 Oh, no. Good.

39:13 Lord. Is it from the same person I

39:15 wonder? That's what I'm wondering too.

39:18 It's very likely of. Course, I knew it was going to

39:22 come up eventually. Yeah, lore.

39:28 Hooray lore. Jay.

39:32 Brandon, Remember, Remember how I have an aunt?

39:37 Oh no, it's this lore. I had a feeling.

39:45 It was going to be the same person, Mark.

39:47 Yeah. Oh no.

39:49 Hey. Man.

39:50 I'll talk. No.

39:51 You. No, you shit your presence out

39:53 first. God.

39:56 All right, so Emma's aunt. She's a very.

40:01 Special lady here. Let me let me preface.

40:05 Let me preface this woman, you preface.

40:08 This woman, this. Woman, I don't hate her.

40:11 Let me say this for the record, I do not hate her.

40:15 Now I am a vindictive bitch and I have some things that I want

40:18 to say to her. But anyway, she is somebody who.

40:26 Let's. Call Crafty.

40:30 She is somebody who will spend nickels and Dimes, which is

40:34 fine, but she makes and gives gifts that aren't exactly what

40:45 anybody would really want. And we actually have a family

40:50 tradition of after when everybody leaves, we call it the

40:55 pitch party of basically we decide what of her gifts we

41:03 throw away. So Mark, why don't you go ahead

41:08 and tell her some of the shit that she's giving you over time?

41:11 Now I want you to go first because mine will have an even

41:15 bigger impact. Oh God.

41:17 Yeah. You know.

41:19 Honestly, honestly I'll be for real with you.

41:23 I've only, I only remember few gifts that Lady has ever given

41:29 me. Actually, there was one that I

41:32 do remember that I really appreciated.

41:34 She actually gave me my first computer.

41:38 Oh yeah, it was it was one of those very, very old school

41:46 blocky box computers with ACD ROM player.

41:50 Like I'm talking this thing doesn't do anything but AOL and

41:56 games and I remember playing this one computer game until I

42:02 basically burnt the bitch out. Kind of love that computer

42:08 because I grew up poor. It was like the fanciest thing I

42:11 ever owned. Now the worst gift she ever gave

42:15 me. I think it was the one time she

42:21 tried to paper mache something for me.

42:25 I don't even remember what the fuck it was.

42:28 I think it was a frog statue. She tried paper machining a frog

42:31 statue for me. It didn't look like a frog, it

42:35 looked like a goblin. She tried, I suppose.

42:40 I guess it's the thought that counts, but I don't think I've

42:45 really ever kept many of her gifts just because they just,

42:52 for lack of better words, it was trash.

42:55 A lot of those like dollar stores type stuff which is.

42:58 Fine, like I'm not knocking dollar store things, like

43:01 sometimes you find some really cool shit at the dollar store.

43:05 But the problem is, is she buys and makes things that none of us

43:09 really have any interest in. And I'm not ungrateful for

43:14 anything that I've ever received from her.

43:16 It's just, it's not, it's not me, not my taste.

43:23 I think there's only thing I've ever kept from her was an

43:26 ornament that she made out of Scrabble pieces.

43:30 But I mean, you know, I thought it was cute.

43:34 That sounds, that sounds awesome, yeah.

43:36 It was, it was, it was literally just my name in Scrabble pieces.

43:39 But I mean, I don't know, I'm trying not to be too hard on her

43:45 'cause like, I know she really puts like effort into things

43:49 that she gets people and, you know, she puts her time and her

43:52 money into it. It's just.

43:56 I don't know. I personally am in the belief of

43:59 if you're going to give somebody a gift, make it to what that

44:04 person would like, what they would enjoy, what they would use

44:07 again, display, you know, that kind of thing that would be like

44:13 if I gave. Mark, yeah.

44:15 That'd be like if I gave Mark like a like a sewing kit, you

44:19 know? That's not, no, that's not like

44:22 his thing at all. Not that I would ever see Mark.

44:24 I don't even. I don't.

44:25 Even think my fingers would be able to manipulate the fucking

44:29 needle but it's. It's the principle of match, the

44:31 gift to the person. That would be something that I

44:34 would more likely give Ethan, even though he's more into

44:36 crochet. Yeah.

44:39 You know, it's, it's just those little things to me that make a

44:43 gift more special and more meaningful.

44:50 I still, maybe it's because Mark was still kind of new to the

44:54 family, but I still think of the time when she would give him

44:57 like treat presents and it'd be like bags of chips, candies.

45:04 It would be like sodas. And this was like at the time

45:09 that Mark had no interest in any of that. 90% of the time I think

45:13 I was eating those baskets. Yeah.

45:17 Yummy. Yeah.

45:19 The the first couple of years of our relationship, her aunt.

45:25 You know, I I kind of wish you would have at least tried a

45:29 little bit harder. I mean, she never even asked me

45:32 really what you liked I. Know again it was just chips

45:38 soda Gatorade which I. Mean is.

45:42 Fine, like that's it. It is a thoughtful thing.

45:46 Yeah. Mark with somebody who, I mean,

45:48 could you imagine my drinking Mountain Dew?

45:50 I can't. Mark is not a Mountain Dew

45:54 drinker. Yeah, well, yeah.

45:58 Lose your sperm, Come. Why?

45:59 What do you drink it? Because that's what I'm so

46:04 worried about. Man the.

46:06 Monetization is just taking. What?

46:11 It's crevice. I, you know, I, I have this, I

46:16 have the same mentality of if you're going to go out and do

46:19 gift giving, you need to at least put in a little bit more

46:23 effort to match the gift to the person.

46:27 I was like, she could have at least, you know, asked.

46:31 What sort? Of things I was interested in

46:33 and just Oh yeah, I'll just. Pick up.

46:36 Some chips and some food and stuff.

46:38 And I was like, you know, I. Again, no knocking that to

46:42 people who do that, OK? I don't want to make any

46:44 audience members mad by people who do that.

46:47 Yeah, I'm just saying at least like, you know, I've been around

46:51 for a little while. You could have at least kind of

46:54 tried to probe and explore that a little bit.

46:59 Like the first year was like, ha, ha, this is kind of funny,

47:02 but I understand. Second year was like, OK, it's a

47:05 little awkward. Third year is like, OK, this is

47:07 kind of getting ridiculous. I've been around for a while.

47:15 But you. Know it's, it's not the worst

47:18 thing you could possibly get, but I was just like, you know.

47:22 With. The amount of time that I spent

47:24 around you and your family, she could have at least picked up on

47:27 some things. I'm guessing that wasn't the

47:32 worst gift though, Mark. Honestly, I don't know what

47:39 would be. How about in general?

47:43 What was your worst gift? Yeah, I know probably that in

47:49 all of the states. I mean, I can say one in recent

47:53 years would would have been actually I think it was last

47:57 year or two years ago, one of the two.

47:59 I got this like dancing stitch. God damn.

48:08 Yeah. Like toy.

48:09 I'm just like, I, I I never even took it out-of-the-box.

48:14 I threw it away after a way too long.

48:17 But it's like, yeah, I like stitch, but like, this thing

48:23 takes batteries. Why would I want to put in

48:28 batteries for I've never under. OK.

48:32 I know some people like, like the little things where, you

48:35 know, like the little dancing, you know, stuff or whatever is

48:38 cute. I get that.

48:39 But like, for me personally, I'd never understood it.

48:43 I'm not sure if that's my ADHD or not being like, oh, cool.

48:47 Anyway, there's something more interesting.

48:54 But yeah, I just. Something that wastes batteries.

48:57 That's what it was in my opinion.

49:00 And it, it sat in my room for, like I said, way too long.

49:12 You know, that's kind of one of the things that I question about

49:15 like the certain toys they can get for kids.

49:21 Like, what sort of replayability value does that actually have

49:26 for her kids? Like, you get a big old robot.

49:29 It's got the wow factor after. Yeah, for the for the first

49:33 little bit. After a while it's like you've

49:35 really explored all the things this toy can do, and then it

49:40 just sits in a toy chest, never to really be played with again.

49:44 Oh, Mark, I like to think of it this way.

49:46 You know, I've been a parent for most of my life to my brother.

49:49 And, you know, every time I've bought them a present, it's not

49:52 about thinking of, oh, well, where will this toy be in six

49:56 months? It's more of, oh, this will

49:58 bring them joy. It'll bring them happiness.

50:01 You know, they'll play with it for maybe a day, maybe a month,

50:04 who knows? Who cares?

50:06 You know, it's just it's about the joy.

50:08 And there's there's a feeling of joy you get giving that gift to

50:13 somebody who sees that as like their favorite thing.

50:17 Yeah. Like, like I said, that's fine.

50:21 Some people like the dancing stuff, that's cool.

50:25 It's just for me personally, I'm like, I I just never understood

50:27 it. Hey, I can't get past operation.

50:33 It's been, it's been probably a decade and I've been stuck on

50:37 when the fuck did I ever show interest?

50:39 Every single time I've seen operation, like I've had like

50:41 the most blank stare face you have ever seen me make.

50:46 Yeah. I want a game that makes me

50:55 think, For example, when I kicked Mark's ass in Stratego.

51:02 Motherfucker, you just got lucky.

51:05 You said that when we played Risk.

51:06 Mark, you want to talk about Lucky?

51:09 Oh, no, bitch. I didn't think you're just

51:11 losing your touch here, honey. OK, but I I.

51:13 Would totally I I don't know how to play risk but like I try it

51:16 once. This sounds cool.

51:19 No, Mark seems to think he's the God of all strategy Strategy

51:22 games, and thereof this motherfucker here.

51:27 If you're losing to stratego, if you're losing to Risk, maybe you

51:31 need to re evaluate that title baby.

51:33 Yeah, Mark, you're losing to the the stratego.

51:37 Oh, your wife even said it all, man.

51:42 I'm sorry but I am an avid Monopoly player and I will say

51:46 you are losing your touch at strategy.

51:49 The. A lot of the problems that I

51:51 have is that I really shit at Doug's throwing.

51:55 I don't know if that. That's where.

51:56 A lot of my problem comes in I. Think you have rotten luck in

51:59 poor strategy? Yeah, Mark, get Rick.

52:03 You know, next time I play straight Chico, I'll let you

52:04 win. These are some fucking fighting

52:09 words and shit. My God this is Christmas, not

52:12 fucking all out brawling and Jerry Smith just say.

52:16 Jerry, Jerry, Jerry just. Took a.

52:21 Turn buddy. Gang up on Mark.

52:25 He's a terrible strategist here. Just.

52:28 Be in this. Side.

52:29 I'm going even lower than Mark. I'm going to his big toe.

52:42 We. Have a double pumple game.

52:44 We still have to do a. What we have?

52:47 A double pumple to do. Oh, that's right.

52:51 We have two of them now. Yes.

52:53 We do. I'm still advocating for one for

52:56 each person. Well, when you buy 1 you let me

53:00 know. BYOT bring your own tumble that.

53:05 Game is so much fucking fun. The viewers don't know what

53:09 Tumble is. It's basically reverse Jenga.

53:13 You're basically stacking these stupid ass blocks in the most

53:18 inconvenient ways you have, and you have blocker pieces.

53:23 You have like different positions from a dice that you

53:27 have to roll. It's just the most obscene game

53:31 you have to roll up. Dice and the.

53:33 Dice can either have like hot dogs so you know, it's it's

53:38 taller than it is wide hamburger, so it's wider than it

53:41 is tall, or French fry where it's just the tallest it could

53:44 possibly be. Or you can get like a a white

53:48 cap where you can't put it on that white cap or a yellow cap

53:52 where you cannot place blocks on that block.

53:57 Oh my God. Playing that at Halloween was

54:00 fucking hilarious. You can also wait when you get

54:03 the T the the the tumble. Can you?

54:05 It's any. Position.

54:08 Can you just grab a cap instead or do you have to play some no?

54:12 It has to be a black block. OK.

54:15 I know it'd be funny if you used the thing.

54:17 I mean, you. I was going to say you could

54:19 make that a house rule. Yeah, House.

54:21 Rules. Oh, that's going to be fuckery

54:25 right there. Yeah, two of them, Yeah, yeah.

54:30 It's like the multitude of Uno decks that I have.

54:33 Like it just gets more and more of you have.

54:36 Too many Uno cards, I'm sorry. Hey man, you know sometimes you

54:41 just in case you ever. Find the situation where you

54:43 have to entertain a group of 20 people we.

54:46 Got like I can host at least two or three different Uno games at

54:51 once. I.

54:52 Remember Uno when we were playing when it?

54:56 Wasn't as fuckery fucking. Mark kept fucking me, kept

55:02 changing for. You God.

55:03 Damn color, what do you think? I don't remember the last

55:08 Monopoly game I played. That was the double game we

55:12 played. Where we each.

55:15 Rolled one dice. Well.

55:18 If you want to really play Monopoly, I did purchase the

55:22 world's longest Monopoly board, no?

55:26 My attention. Is.

55:27 Insanity. Thanks.

55:29 Well. I was going to use AD 20 for it,

55:31 so it could be funny. Well, I was going to.

55:33 Use my sanity for it. But you know that that'd be gone

55:35 really fast. I'll.

55:36 Get you your landinum, we'll be fine.

55:40 You can. Play for me.

55:42 OK, we had teams the one game we played.

55:48 I know, and that was the game being Mark one, even though Mark

55:50 was bitching the whole time. I know.

55:55 Still will. And Scott over here was like,

55:58 hey, you want to trade that orange or whatever color I had?

56:00 I'm like, yeah, sure. For 500.

56:02 Nah, you want to trade that he. Asked like 3.

56:06 Times he literally, and I'm like, how about for 1000 he's

56:10 like Nah And then the third time, how about for how about

56:13 that orange 1500? He's like, Nah, I'm like, it's

56:16 just going to keep going up and he just braided it.

56:21 I liked the idea of having teammates.

56:23 It just it was really hard when you had to try to agree on what

56:30 you were trading or what you're purchasing.

56:33 It was so difficult to do that. No, I get it.

56:38 But like, I would do it again. I really would.

56:43 I'd be down. For regular monopoly which?

56:47 I do own. I also have Fallout Monopoly for

56:54 someone named Brandon in here, you know.

56:58 You know I have Fortnite. I have.

57:02 Fortnite monopoly. Monopoly.

57:08 He wants to play Fortnite Monopoly.

57:09 The goal isn't to capture things, is to survive.

57:13 If you want to know, I haven't bought a Monopoly board in many,

57:16 many years. I have a Cleveland Monopoly, I

57:20 have a Disney, I have Fallout. I have Nightmare for Christmas.

57:23 I have Star Wars. So has she.

57:28 I. Really went to the.

57:29 Exchange. There was a whole shelf

57:31 dedicated to a monopoly. Yeah.

57:33 I saw that last time and I was like, what are we doing in here?

57:38 Like, I think that's a little much and that's coming from me.

57:44 Got a point? Christmas.

57:53 Christmas, OH. My God, it's two weeks away.

57:56 Christmas I. Was lost to two weeks away,

57:58 sweetheart. Yeah, Quibus, What?

58:04 Do you guys want for Christmas this year?

58:07 What do I want? Oh, obviously, Steam gift cards.

58:16 Same. There was something on the list.

58:22 Honestly. Like a steering wheel cover

58:25 might be nice, but it's not like something I'm hoping for.

58:28 That would be pretty fucking nice though.

58:32 I need to do one of those man. Oh fuck, we never.

58:35 Had one. No.

58:38 Starch for the car. I don't don't get the wing USB.

58:43 Plug in ones that heat up. Cool, but man my dumb ass would

58:48 leave that shit plugged in by accident.

58:51 I can't trust myself. I.

58:55 Don't trust you, neither do you? Yeah, I would.

58:57 I would be lazy and just keep it plugged in so I don't have to

59:00 plug in and unplug it each time and.

59:03 Then you go outside and wonder why your car won't start.

59:07 Exactly. Exactly.

59:09 Like I, I would do that. I, I just, I cannot trust myself

59:14 with that kind of shit. Not like I was looking for a new

59:20 steering wheel cover but like I I want one that's like something

59:26 I like like could be. Like.

59:29 Fallout related or Sonic or something but none of the shit

59:35 like either doesn't exist or it doesn't.

59:39 Look good or it? Doesn't look good, yeah.

59:42 It drives me. Crazy.

59:44 One of my favorite series is JoJo.

59:47 I. Would not be able to find a JoJo

59:49 steering wheel cover anywhere in the world.

59:52 Maybe like if I go to an event in Japan and they for some God

59:55 forsaken reason have like JoJo steering wheel covers but like

59:59 that's it. And.

1:00:02 Take us what I found one. Wait.

1:00:05 Wait, wait. Seriously.

1:00:06 Wait. Hold on.

1:00:07 Aliexpress. Is that one from Amazon maybe?

1:00:12 That's hilarious. I'll never be able to find one.

1:00:21 My wife finds one. Yeah.

1:00:25 I can't find like for me personally.

1:00:28 I can't find any anyone that I want.

1:00:31 What are? You looking for Oh?

1:02:33 It's warming up. Cool.

1:02:35 Now how? About actually, how do my doors

1:03:55 solutions. Trick your friends into saying

1:03:57 things we don't want to. I steal the real covers.

1:04:01 Sorry. Christmas, Christmas.

1:04:13 Question yes as. We should anything.

1:04:20 Else you want me to find for you, Brandon?

1:04:22 That that that I could think of. Not that I can think of.

1:04:31 I think the. Funnier part.

1:04:33 I think the funnier part is Brandon.

1:04:35 It takes a simple Google. It's not hard.

1:04:38 That's not gonna lie to you. I hate the Internet.

1:04:47 I don't know man, you're a party Internet.

1:04:51 Nope, no more. You have a.

1:04:52 Digital footprint we love. Our fucking.

1:04:56 Cabin in the Woods. Yay.

1:05:02 Digital footprint. My data is being sold overseas,

1:05:07 Chris, you know. I'm OK with that at this point,

1:05:09 Chris. Wait, hold on.

1:05:11 Wait. I think I heard that wrong.

1:05:13 Chris. What?

1:05:13 Do you think? Overseas my.

1:05:16 Digital data. What is your?

1:05:23 Dad was being sold. Overseas.

1:05:32 Oh God, what? I mean.

1:06:00 What do you mean? Not.

1:06:01 On the rails anymore, we are in the fucking pit.

1:06:06 Yeah, with our. Steering wheel covered fuck.

1:06:10 Yeah, Pit Miss. I'm going to be pissed off about

1:06:16 Brandon, I apologize for pissing you off, but I'm happy I found

1:06:19 it for you. I'm.

1:06:32 Mark, yeah. You never answered the question

1:06:37 What's? That what do.

1:06:38 You want for Christmas this year?

1:06:40 I've. Been saying this entire fucking

1:06:42 time I want fucking remote start for the car.

1:06:46 You got money for that? The day, well, I found out it's

1:06:49 $300.00, so it's never what I thought it was going to be.

1:06:54 God damn. How about you, Brandon?

1:07:00 Besides steering wheel covers, what else do you want for

1:07:02 Christmas? Well, you know, get that?

1:07:15 Nice. No, I know how to find this.

1:07:22 It's the big booty bitches he's looking.

1:07:23 For, I mean, you know, could get the triple B.

1:07:29 Oh yeah? Oh, I guess you're going to miss

1:07:33 the panty raid Panty. Raid, OH.

1:07:35 No. Panty Raid.

1:07:41 The panty raid. We're talking girls.

1:07:45 Right, girl girls. Man, we're not going to be able

1:07:48 to display this on Paramount. Do it anyway.

1:07:55 Why? Would I want?

1:07:56 Why would I want to do business to Paramount?

1:07:58 Fuck them. Here goes the sponsorship.

1:08:04 We were never getting it, yeah. Even if we did.

1:08:09 But yeah, for Christmas, you know, could go for a nice Mac

1:08:15 mini. That's what I need.

1:08:21 Just a $700. Honestly, that's not that bad

1:08:28 in. Well, that's the.

1:08:28 Many. How big is the regular version?

1:08:31 Well, it. Depends what screen size do you

1:08:32 want. There's a good screen.

1:08:35 Version 2. So if you want like the 16 inch

1:08:37 screen like I want, it's like $2600.

1:08:40 Well, yeah, like. The Mac, the MacBook Pros, yeah,

1:08:43 yeah, that's what I want. Like I wouldn't mind they are, I

1:08:48 wouldn't mind having a new MacBook Pro.

1:08:53 But honestly, like at this point, like just looking up

1:08:58 things about the new Macs, especially like the Mac mini,

1:09:03 you're getting like depending on which one you get, because I

1:09:08 think there's AM/4 and M4 Pro CPUs, the regular Mac mini, man,

1:09:19 that that thing is, that's a serious power for its little

1:09:23 little footprint it takes up on your desk.

1:09:26 It's so like it, it's, I want to say it's like super small.

1:09:30 It's not, but it's. It's smaller than what it used

1:09:35 to be. But the.

1:09:37 Here's. Here's another big thing.

1:09:39 How long until you think Apple's going to go ahead and justify

1:09:42 even more price increases because of the price of RAM

1:09:44 going up? I.

1:09:46 Mean, we'll see. I don't know how they're going

1:09:49 to. I don't know what they're going

1:09:51 to do with that. I don't I don't know if they

1:09:56 it's a RAM that they get like that's all soldered on.

1:09:59 So I don't know. I don't think they make I don't

1:10:05 think they make RAM in house. I don't look.

1:10:08 Look, there's a difference between it actually affecting

1:10:12 them and them claiming it affects them.

1:10:15 I mean. Yeah, you'll never really know.

1:10:18 Yeah. So.

1:10:20 I I restate my question. How?

1:10:25 Long actually. You think that they're going to

1:10:27 raise their prices because the Costa Rica is going up?

1:10:31 Probably sometime next year they'll probably give it like.

1:10:35 A couple weeks, I mean. Maybe at this point, who the

1:10:41 fuck knows. Yeah, but now I like I the the

1:10:47 Mac mini definitely now seems like a good like price to

1:10:52 performance then what it used to be.

1:10:58 Not saying the Mac mini wasn't good when it was Intel, but a

1:11:03 lot of people kind of shield away from it 'cause it was like,

1:11:06 you know, it might not serve somebody's workflow or may not

1:11:10 be powerful enough for how much you're paying for it.

1:11:14 Which can be said about their Macbooks and all that other

1:11:16 crap, but but now with them using their own silicon, it's

1:11:23 like. The.

1:11:25 Performance on these fucking computers and the the fact they

1:11:31 also don't get hot. Like a good example, Patrick for

1:11:39 work, he's got an M4 Mac MacBook Pro and his old MacBook Pro for

1:11:47 work used to get fucking hot. Yeah, this.

1:11:52 One really doesn't. It's cool.

1:11:56 It's battery lasts fucking forever even with the intense

1:12:02 work he does. Like God, God damn man.

1:12:08 Like I I give out full credit with what they're doing.

1:12:14 Yeah, like they definitely my God.

1:12:16 Look at even gaming is becoming a thing on these machines.

1:12:22 Like holy shit like they've got some serious power with their

1:12:28 CPU and their GPUs. Like good on you Apple, just for

1:12:34 the love of God please lower your fucking prices on your

1:12:37 shit. Never.

1:12:39 Kind of happen. Nope.

1:12:43 That's. Why I have a lot more interest

1:12:45 in Linux gaming starting to become a big thing.

1:12:51 Yeah. Honestly was not on my bingo

1:12:52 card this year but honestly. Fucking awesome.

1:12:56 That it is. Steam Deck for the wean, but we

1:13:03 are at time well overtime, and that's all right.

1:13:07 Oh. Shit quiz.

1:13:08 Myth. Quiz.

1:13:11 Myth. No.

1:13:13 Christmas. It's only two weeks away.

1:13:16 Die. Hate it only what?

1:13:20 Two weeks away only what? Oh yeah, 2.

1:13:24 Weeks. Away, you say.

1:13:26 There's. No way it's two weeks away.

1:13:29 I can't believe it's here, Chris, just.

1:13:34 Two weeks away. Whoa, it's like next year.

1:13:36 Believe it. It's gonna be a while until the

1:13:40 next one. Did you know that that that girl

1:13:42 did like a a sequel recently? Wow.

1:13:47 What's even funnier is the original she made in like June.

1:13:52 That. You're something Jesus.

1:13:55 I wasn't going to meet her Christmas that she made it.

1:13:59 It was like 2 weeks away at least so I've heard.

1:14:04 I could see it. See what exactly?

1:14:13 Well. You bitch, now what?

1:14:16 What Christmas? Being two weeks away now.

1:14:20 Fuck fucky, yeah. Fucky, I can't.

1:14:22 Believe it, man, I'm going to. Smack them?

1:14:24 Probably. Can I?

1:14:26 Well, I hope everybody has a very Merry Christmas that is not

1:14:29 two weeks away. It's two weeks.

1:14:31 Away. It's 2.

1:14:32 Weeks away. It's not two weeks I am going to

1:14:36 dead man. We're about to go on Jerry

1:14:38 Springer this. This is when we just shut off

1:14:41 our mics and go to bed for the night.
