0:03:32.280,0:03:38.080
cannot speak today it's all right it's all right

0:03:56.920,0:04:02.160
lot of words there a lot of people yeah so like
you mentioned we'll get into the segment though
0:04:02.160,0:04:08.440
our our favorite a fan favorite we're going
to go into in this day history of this like
0:04:08.440,0:04:15.320
this segment but it's not me I can tell you that
yeah I know some people yeah we I mean we'll see
0:04:15.320,0:04:20.080
I don't know but let me get into it bro let's
let's see what we got here on this December 26
0:04:20.080,0:04:26.480
let's see I mean let's see what I got here okay
so there was a lot of sadness in December and I
0:04:26.480,0:04:32.920
didn't want to go into sadness I mean there was
tsunamis there was mass executions there was a
0:04:32.920,0:04:37.160
whole lot there's nuclear bomb tests there was a
bunch of stuff going on I don't want to go into
0:04:37.160,0:04:43.160
the negative let's try to keep the end of the
year positive so positive vies I'll I don't I
0:04:43.160,0:04:47.560
mean maybe this first one isn't so positive but
if you love movies because we did bring this up
0:04:47.560,0:04:56.320
in our Halloween episode I did come across this
fun fact on December 26th so in 1973 the horror
0:04:56.320,0:05:07.040
film The Exorcist based on a book and screenplay
by Willam William Peter blasty premiered in 1973
0:05:07.040,0:05:14.960
on this history that seems kind of weird a
a like a horror movie coming out in December
0:05:14.960,0:05:24.320
the balls you know the balls right and so for
my second one again trying to like ease back
0:05:24.320,0:05:30.720
into it some people might find this humorous
I kind of did when I read it in 198 two after
0:05:30.720,0:05:37.760
taking taking the world of technology by
storm the PC was named times man of the
0:05:37.760,0:05:47.880
year so the PC was named times man of
the year what yeah how does how does a
0:05:47.880,0:05:57.160
PC get named man of the year I had the same
thought Sean how does one a PC become man
0:05:57.160,0:06:03.040
of the year but it happened in 1982 so like
they strapped the dick on it and call it a
0:06:03.040,0:06:13.920
man well all right that's sure you know the PC
the PC does do a lot of stimulating that's for
0:06:13.920,0:06:23.720
sure so I don't I I don't know you know but it
got the award you're not wrong yeah so that was
0:06:23.720,0:06:28.960
another uh uh a fun I I thought that was pretty
interesting how did like you you mentioned how
0:06:28.960,0:06:35.200
does a become Man of the Year apparently it made
it into the history books I found it online and
0:06:35.200,0:06:45.520
everything online is true as we all know oh yeah
right and my final fun fact of December 26 this
0:06:45.520,0:06:59.400
day in history in 1991 the gun of Jack Ruby killer
of Lee Harvey oswal sells for $220,000 at auction
0:07:00.080,0:07:08.400
what somebody paid $220,000 for a gun really
really but not just any gun that was the gun
0:07:08.400,0:07:13.040
that the killer killed Lee Harvey also that's
just not any gun that's not your bb that's not
0:07:13.040,0:07:18.280
your Red Rider BB gun that's a real I know that
though I want I want how do how do they know like
0:07:18.280,0:07:23.160
what did somebody stand there and witness this
murder happened like is that how is that how it
0:07:23.160,0:07:29.840
worked like did somebody see them shoot this gun I
think so Sean I want to know that person I want to
0:07:29.840,0:07:38.240
know who is factchecking that you know all right
that's all I want to know well I I I I don't know
0:07:38.240,0:07:42.960
why they chose December 26th as the day to buy
this I don't know if this is the day the auction
0:07:42.960,0:07:48.360
happened obviously it did but I started thinking
I was like did somebody buy that as a gift you
0:07:48.360,0:07:55.360
know or is that just Personal Collection it's
the day after Christmas Joshua like if you're
0:07:55.360,0:08:01.240
buying it for a gift that's a little too late you
know that's literally the latest well it's you're
0:08:01.240,0:08:07.000
too late it's Christmas day after Christmas so
I don't know I mean maybe I I don't know like
0:08:07.000,0:08:12.040
you could you could have stuck a picture of a gun
in a box and said you will get this you know like
0:08:12.040,0:08:16.920
Amazon's late with your package sort of thing hang
on hang on I mean that episode hasn't come out yet
0:08:16.920,0:08:21.040
when we're filming this episode so people I can't
wait for the comments to just [ __ ] roast you and
0:08:21.040,0:08:28.240
call you an accomplice as a criminal uh anyways
I was I do have a followup to that by the way I
0:08:28.240,0:08:33.280
do have a follow up that but you know if we want
to get as well hold that follow up let me let me
0:08:33.280,0:08:41.120
take us on a brief tangent here um now I [ __ ]
lost my CH oh wait the tangent was what is the
0:08:41.120,0:08:46.120
latest you can get somebody as a Christmas present
like how late into the year are you getting people
0:08:46.120,0:08:51.960
Christmas presents that you think getting somebody
on December 26th is still a valid Christmas
0:08:51.960,0:08:58.800
present are we going all the way up until
like next Christmas like are you doubling
0:08:58.800,0:09:03.760
down on gifts is that how it works what
if you're in the military what if you're
0:09:03.760,0:09:09.680
somebody who's not around so you have to
celebrate these types of things on not the
0:09:09.680,0:09:13.800
exact dates like maybe this auction happened
in New York or wherever I don't know where it
0:09:13.800,0:09:21.320
happened but maybe in in or yeah in Cambodia
you know the the yeah like somewhere random
0:09:21.320,0:09:27.840
like you can't always deliver gifts on the
day of Christmas I mean even Santa's late
0:09:27.840,0:09:32.760
that that [ __ ] you know Santa's never been
late for me all right just pointing that out
0:09:32.760,0:09:39.000
there I don't know man like Santa's been
late a couple times in my life and I I
0:09:39.000,0:09:44.960
don't I don't blame the guy he's got a lot
of places to go all right facts I mean you
0:09:44.960,0:09:51.320
do you make a make a good point here Joshua
I accept I accept your points H they're valid
0:09:51.320,0:09:54.200
I don't know though I don't know I think
uh if you're getting me a present the day
0:09:54.200,0:09:57.680
after Christmas it's just it's just a present
at that point you know it's not a Christmas
0:09:57.680,0:10:05.320
present so it's just like a like a thank you for
participating present I'll gladly accept it thank
0:10:05.320,0:10:13.320
you now do you still wrap those gifts another
tangent like do you do you still wrap a gift
0:10:13.320,0:10:17.960
like that you do you have to like it's part of
it's part of it now you know like I think once
0:10:17.960,0:10:22.000
you get to a certain point of the Year where
it's like you didn't get them a Christmas
0:10:22.000,0:10:26.920
present so you're you're getting closer to
their birthday uh you can either wrap it in
0:10:26.920,0:10:33.560
a birthday present or you can just wrap it in
Christmas um Christmas WAP you know I think
0:10:33.560,0:10:38.000
that's where the line is for me like if I if
I didn't get you a present on Christmas then
0:10:38.000,0:10:43.480
I have until up until your birthday to get
you another gift you know what I mean so okay
0:10:43.480,0:10:49.280
all right yeah so that is my my three fun facts
day in history that's that's what I got for you
0:10:49.280,0:10:54.520
all today wait there was three but there there
was only two no no that was three Sean I gave
0:10:54.520,0:11:02.600
you three it was the it was The Exorcist it was
man of the year PC oh that's right I completely
0:11:02.600,0:11:07.080
spaced out on that one oh my God like wow I
was literally sitting here and I completely
0:11:07.080,0:11:12.440
forgot my friend that's why they call it
0:11:12.440,0:11:22.600
dope I can't even I can't even argue dop oh God
uh Joshua what was your followup to that um that
0:11:22.600,0:11:27.160
episode comes out it came out last week so what's
your followup to you not being a criminal how'd
0:11:27.160,0:11:33.880
that work out oh okay so so if you watched the
last episode I did bring up a situation where
0:11:33.880,0:11:40.960
I was on my way home and I possibly witness a
crime you witnessed the crime not possibly okay
0:11:40.960,0:11:48.680
okay in hindsight I'm allowed to say I possibly
witnessed the crime okay so I I broke down the
0:11:48.680,0:11:56.120
vehicle the making model the guy that was driving
it I think I said what he was wearing I gave the
0:11:56.120,0:12:04.920
whole situation scenario inter not you know was
he driving a BMW something all busted some kind
0:12:04.920,0:12:09.560
of CRA okay so you did say that I listed the
whole thing in the last episode I I broke it
0:12:09.560,0:12:17.040
down you know Amazon was being stocked I felt like
you know maybe I just was you know I blacked out
0:12:17.040,0:12:24.320
for a minute or whatever okay so the followup
to that I did not witness a crime everybody I
0:12:24.320,0:12:31.240
did not witness a crime um that piece of [ __ ]
car is still sitting in the driveway that I saw
0:12:31.240,0:12:39.880
in when he was stealing the package from that
driveway so okay that person you said he was
0:12:39.880,0:12:44.880
taking multiple packages Joshua that's what you
said he had multiple boxes he's put in the back
0:12:44.880,0:12:51.560
seat of back you know trunk of his car so I I
mean you know the the houses are tight they're
0:12:51.560,0:13:00.200
close you know but I just want to reiterate I
did not witness a crime this guy was wrongly
0:13:00.200,0:13:07.120
accused his car isn't a piece of [ __ ] I'm sure
he takes good care of his car you know um sorry
0:13:07.120,0:13:14.240
to that dude you're not a thief you I don't know
his name I do know where you live though um sorry
0:13:14.240,0:13:20.920
to that gentlemen but I did not witness a crime
everybody that's yeah I just want to say that um
0:13:20.920,0:13:25.920
I'm happy that I'm not gonna have to go out and
bail you out uh or you have to go into witner
0:13:25.920,0:13:31.720
protection like that makes me really happy um I'm
glad I don't know a criminal um we can continue
0:13:31.720,0:13:38.120
this relationship and uh podcast together now so
all it all kind of works out so thank you josua
0:13:38.120,0:13:42.520
I I'm glad you brought that up because I I did
feel bad that maybe I did witness a crime and
0:13:42.520,0:13:47.000
I did not report it like I I asked people about
it afterwards I was like should I have reported
0:13:47.000,0:13:51.400
this should I have said something and now I
would have been the [ __ ] guy that's just
0:13:51.400,0:13:55.400
you know you see it all the time people getting
accused for things and they're not really doing
0:13:55.400,0:13:59.200
a crime you know jumping a fence or something
or breaking a window out of house cuz they left
0:13:59.200,0:14:03.680
their keys inside like you know you don't know
why somebody's breaking a window and crawling
0:14:03.680,0:14:09.920

sauce getting into me well Joshua this is um
0:16:10.640,0:16:18.560
episode 13 and the last one we talked about it
being a kind of reflection episode um and uh I
0:16:18.560,0:16:26.040
don't think people know what that means as far as
like what what I meant by it it's a reflection so
0:16:26.040,0:16:31.480
so to Define that real quick um a little bit later
on in the episode we're going to be talking about
0:16:31.480,0:16:36.200
where we want to go in the future what we're
thinking about doing in the future um kind
0:16:36.200,0:16:44.960
of where we are now and um stuff like that stuff
like reflecting on the year basically but that's
0:16:44.960,0:16:51.240
a little bit later because Joshua I want to talk
about dos and don'ts of Christmas parties Joshua
0:16:51.240,0:16:55.720
you know it seems to be about the time period when
people are having their Christmas party or maybe
0:16:55.720,0:17:00.120
they have already had their Christmas party and
they witness as something happened like maybe uh
0:17:00.120,0:17:05.240
one of your co-workers started molesting you while
you were on a park bench or maybe you got a little
0:17:05.240,0:17:10.720
too drunk and decided to show your titties
I don't know what are the dos and don'ts of
0:17:10.720,0:17:16.400
Christmas parties Joshua is is it if there's an
open bar it's full game like you you go hard or
0:17:16.400,0:17:24.280
you get out the game or um do you show a little
bit more restraint how do you feel about this I
0:17:24.280,0:17:31.280
I think I'm the wrong person to ask uh about
doing don't at a Christmas party because when
0:17:31.280,0:17:40.760
it comes to me and how I'm going to celebrate it
I I think I leave a lot of rules uh back at work
0:17:40.760,0:17:48.680
to be honest with you okay so you're saying it's
fair game you know open bar nothing left you know
0:17:48.680,0:17:56.160
yeah yeah I I'm thinking I'm thinking if if it's
an open invitation you know everybody sees that
0:17:56.160,0:18:00.440
list up on the board right and and I know a lot
of people ask themselves do I want to go to the
0:18:00.440,0:18:05.320
Christmas party is it going to be fun you know
do I really have to hang out with my bosses my
0:18:05.320,0:18:12.440
supervisors my employees that say they want to
help me but they don't [ __ ] help me like am
0:18:12.440,0:18:19.640
I gonna am I gonna enjoy my time there yeah like
you know that that it's a hard it's a hard sign
0:18:19.640,0:18:26.440
up for some people only because you just you just
you don't know what to expect you don't know if
0:18:26.440,0:18:31.160
the person you don't talk to at work is actually
going to be like a really good friend of yours
0:18:31.160,0:18:37.200
once you start drinking together or you know you
find a few laughs at the party or again the friend
0:18:37.200,0:18:41.640
you bring freaking hooks up with this person holy
[ __ ] he's like thank you you found me my wife or
0:18:41.640,0:18:49.360
my boyfriend or you know like you know so I'm the
type of person uh if you have reservations about
0:18:49.360,0:18:55.360
going to a Christmas party and you've never been
I think I think you should go I think you should
0:18:55.360,0:19:04.640
show up uh do a Vibe check scan the room check out
the fits you know who's wearing the red bottoms
0:19:04.640,0:19:10.560
um his old freaking you know how's how's Shelly
looking you know what I mean like what's what's
0:19:10.560,0:19:17.360
you know what's going on you know like like you
know I I think I think it's a good opportunity
0:19:17.360,0:19:25.640
to get to know each other and I think uh we get
limited by the rules that that carry over uh from
0:19:25.640,0:19:30.000
work to a Christmas party now you still got to
be respectful though you know you can't just act
0:19:30.000,0:19:38.200
a fool you can't just go full topless full full
wet t-shirt contest I mean if you do bring your
0:19:38.200,0:19:45.880
pasties you know like don't reveal everything
you know medit movies you know yeah like you
0:19:45.880,0:19:52.800
just you're showing up you know the drinks are
going to be flown have fun but but I think um
0:19:52.800,0:20:00.280
Christmas parties definitely get limited because
of uh some of the stuff that that you know the uh
0:20:00.280,0:20:06.680
Sops if you like to call them at work you know but
uh I think you should I think you should show up
0:20:06.680,0:20:11.760
and have fun you know but don't do anything that
that probably could get you fired you know if you
0:20:11.760,0:20:16.640
hit your boss over the head with a bottle you're
going to go to jail too you know like you're not
0:20:16.640,0:20:21.240
gonna like you're probably not gonna have a job
either you know you just can't act that much of
0:20:21.240,0:20:34.200
a fool so respect still still have respect still
um but be you loosen up you know like but use and
0:20:34.200,0:20:40.560
don'ts I'm saying do I'm saying do it all you know
so nothing's off the table nothing's off the table
0:20:40.560,0:20:47.800
uh and unless it's something illegal or will get
you fired or put in jail you're saying do yeah
0:20:47.800,0:20:56.000
nor normal normal going out rules should apply
at Christmas parties for your job okay normal
0:20:56.000,0:21:03.280
rules not not not work rules notop rules like
I I don't want my manager to be stiff towards
0:21:03.280,0:21:06.960
me I don't want you know I don't want him to be
wearing his manager hat at the freaking Christmas
0:21:06.960,0:21:12.280
party you know you want to talk about bringing
people together well take off your [ __ ] hat
0:21:12.280,0:21:18.280
talk like a person not a [ __ ] robot and uh let's
have a good time maybe maybe I'll respect you more
0:21:18.280,0:21:23.200
at work when I find out you're a real person
and you're not just a damn robot you know so
0:21:23.200,0:21:29.800
you think reading off a script you think this is
also an opportunity to um you know probably tell
0:21:29.800,0:21:33.280
the coworker that you have feelings for that you
have feelings for them is that a good time for
0:21:33.280,0:21:41.600
this uh I you know I think you still gota I mean
who likes rejection right you know nobody likes
0:21:41.600,0:21:46.760
rejection so you still have to be mindful listen
you're telling me to do it all Joshua I'm Gonna Do
0:21:46.760,0:21:51.120
It All I'm gonna just gonna go all out you know
I'm not gonna I'm not gonna put anything leave
0:21:51.120,0:21:56.360
anything on the table you know I'm going to well
tell you that I love you and I I want you to have
0:21:56.360,0:22:02.920
my kids you know that's what I'm doing yeah I I'm
I'm saying as long as you do respectfully right
0:22:02.920,0:22:10.160
as long as you know how to separate work from uh
play I think yeah go for it ask your cooworker
0:22:10.160,0:22:17.560
out see what he or she or you know see what they
think about you you know you you never know they
0:22:17.560,0:22:22.000
might even be thinking in the back of their head
I've been waiting for them to ask me this question
0:22:22.000,0:22:29.520
you know what took you so long never know yeah you
know but you so I I don't I don't know I think I
0:22:29.520,0:22:36.600
think everybody should have fun as long as you're
21 and you're you're of legal age to drink uh just
0:22:36.600,0:22:42.360
be responsible H have fun maybe you got an old
ass jacket you've been you know wanting to wear
0:22:42.360,0:22:47.200
for the last year and you're going to a party
you want to put that [ __ ] on or those shoes
0:22:47.200,0:22:51.720
you know you bought those [ __ ] Jordans those
$300 Jordans you want to take a take for a spin
0:22:51.720,0:22:59.080
Jes I don't know [ __ ] get out you know [ __ ]
do some [ __ ] don't be shy you know Christmas
0:22:59.080,0:23:04.600
parties are to get to know people get out there
yeah I I mean Joshua you said it you said it best
0:23:04.600,0:23:08.360
here I agree with you 100% on that I think if
you're going to go to a Christmas party don't
0:23:08.360,0:23:12.560
go to a Christmas party and be a [ __ ] stick in
the mud you know nobody wants that nobody wants
0:23:12.560,0:23:16.720
a stick in the mud you know save that for work
you can come to work and be a stick in the mud
0:23:16.720,0:23:19.640
I don't give a [ __ ] but if you're going to go
to the Christmas party I want you to be there and
0:23:19.640,0:23:23.880
I want you to have fun I want you to get out of
your comfort zone I want you to talk to somebody
0:23:23.880,0:23:29.880
different um you know put put your arm around
somebody tell don't let you love them you know
0:23:29.880,0:23:35.320
nothing wrong with that nothing wrong with showing
a little bit of love to people it's the holidays
0:23:35.320,0:23:41.080
so I'm with you this I just think I I think people
get nervous you know nervous about Christ that's
0:23:41.080,0:23:47.080
the Liquor's for liquor is for that you you drink
up a little bit you know you uh you loosen it up
0:23:47.080,0:23:52.560
maybe you take a few hits of that that fentanyl I
don't know what kids do these days um loosen it up
0:23:52.560,0:24:01.760
you know because if a Christmas party feels like
work then it's not a party you might as well just
0:24:01.760,0:24:09.200
do it at work if you're going to do that you know
exactly yeah yeah ask yeah ask the same person
0:24:09.200,0:24:16.000
out at work if you're not you know do it at work
then if you're you know exactly like but I think
0:24:16.000,0:24:20.720
you just you just you have fun with it now now
here's the other part of it though like if you
0:24:20.720,0:24:28.320
show up and you got a plus one and that plus one
doesn't work there okay you know I you thinking
0:24:28.320,0:24:35.160
Sean if if uh if the if the plus one let's just
say hypothetically because we know we're both in
0:24:35.160,0:24:41.280
committed relationship so our plus ones typically
are our our girlfriends um let's just say you
0:24:41.280,0:24:48.000
bring a one wait my plus one's always been you
bro like you're you're always my plus one I know
0:24:48.000,0:24:54.520
what girlfriends you and I are in a committed
relationship to each other my guy yeah we have
0:24:54.520,0:25:00.240
for what how many episodes we got here we got you
know we we've been committed at least 13 I mean
0:25:00.240,0:25:08.640
one officially where you announced it but so the
plus one the plus one what what do you are you are
0:25:08.640,0:25:13.880
you taking responsibility for your plus one if if
you bring a wild one you know if the if your wild
0:25:13.880,0:25:23.320
plus one ends up underneath the mistletoe of your
boss and he or she reaches in and just gives your
0:25:23.320,0:25:31.640
boss a big old wet one in the mouth you know like
just are you responsible for that that the herpy
0:25:31.640,0:25:36.560
that now your boss has because of the plus one you
brought I mean that herpy you're responsibility
0:25:36.560,0:25:43.480
you did you pass that on because you brought the
herpy with you like I think uh Jos I mean I want
0:25:43.480,0:25:49.000
to know I think you I think you are responsible I
think unless you don't know the person that you're
0:25:49.000,0:25:54.960
bringing uh you are responsible for anything
that they do um because that has more that has
0:25:54.960,0:26:02.040
repercussions on you later you know what I mean uh
you give your boss a herpy right your boss is now
0:26:02.040,0:26:07.360
full of herpes in his face right the next time he
comes up to you and it's like hey come here I got
0:26:07.360,0:26:11.920
to give you a review you know you're just going
to be staring at his herpes and that's probably
0:26:11.920,0:26:17.960
going to reflect badly you know what I mean so I
think yes you are responsible for your plus one
0:26:17.960,0:26:23.640
um and if you don't want to be responsible for
your plus one then you don't have a plus one you
0:26:23.640,0:26:29.480
know and then that brings up the next question
Joshua like is it bad if you don't take your
0:26:29.480,0:26:36.200
plus one you know like is that a bad thing like
is that is that a sign of a bad relationship or
0:26:36.200,0:26:44.920
you know like um like is that is that bad I want
your opinion Joshua tell me I don't think it's
0:26:44.920,0:26:53.400
bad I I think dep depending on the uh the social
environment and the people you work with you have
0:26:53.400,0:27:00.000
to determine your plus one if your plus one gets
along with the Plus 80 that are probably going to
0:27:00.000,0:27:07.480
show up does does does your plus one's Vibe match
their Vibe got or are you going to have to protect
0:27:07.480,0:27:12.760
are you going to have to be the safety net of
your plus one because your plus one has never
0:27:12.760,0:27:19.840
heard a cuss word your plus one has never drawn
colored Outside the Lines because your plus one
0:27:19.840,0:27:28.720
has never worn mismatch socks you know I don't
know you know I don't if you're plus one doesn't
0:27:28.720,0:27:34.680
wipe her mouth after she you know eats a bunch
of food and leaves you know stuff on her mouth
0:27:34.680,0:27:40.120
like is that who you want to show up to the party
with you you know like some you know what is your
0:27:40.120,0:27:46.320
plus one and how does your plus one fit in that's
what I'm saying that's what I'm asking myself like
0:27:46.320,0:27:51.600
that see that brings up the question it's like
is does that mean your relationship is broken
0:27:51.600,0:27:58.400
if you can't say that this plus one that you have
right now is somebody who you want to bring with
0:27:58.400,0:28:04.200
you to see those situations with you know what I
mean like is that's like is it the bad thing you
0:28:04.200,0:28:11.040
know like is there something wrong there you know
we have to we have to think about this because
0:28:11.040,0:28:17.600
most most companies have Christmas parties right
most companies do whether you're a Fortune 500 or
0:28:17.600,0:28:22.640
you're just the ice cream truck that drives around
the block you know you you probably have some kind
0:28:22.640,0:28:27.640
of Christmas party for your employees or whatever
you give out gifts little little party little
0:28:27.640,0:28:33.560
something will get together in your backyard um
you know I guess a good example is like you know
0:28:33.560,0:28:39.240
if you work at a strip club you know what what
if you work at a strip club and you know you're
0:28:39.240,0:28:49.080
having a Christmas party and your plus one does
not go to strip clubs do you bring your plus one
0:28:49.080,0:28:56.680
good point I mean yeah the situation would would
be arised arose um I guess that's when you would
0:28:56.680,0:29:02.920
have a conversation right like hey like I want to
know like do you would you feel comfortable if you
0:29:02.920,0:29:07.960
were in a room full of strippers um even though
at a young age you told me that you were molested
0:29:07.960,0:29:14.640
by 13 strippers like um oh God is this is this
okay like would you feel okay with that coming
0:29:14.640,0:29:19.920
to my my Christmas party and I guess if they say
yes or no that's how you would determine how this
0:29:19.920,0:29:25.040
goes right but yeah I could see I could see that
being a pretty difficult situation for somebody
0:29:25.040,0:29:31.600
in any term right I mean what if you were invited
to a stripper Christmas party Joshua as a plus one
0:29:31.600,0:29:37.400
like would that make you feel uncomfortable like
would having a sustainable partner you know like
0:29:37.400,0:29:44.040
somebody invites you to that stripper Christmas
party like I say that would be pretty pretty hard
0:29:44.040,0:29:52.160
you know no I'm going I'm going I'm going to
this I'm going I even if I'm not a plus one I
0:29:52.160,0:29:57.640
want to know where this party's at and I want
to show up you know like there's a reason why
0:29:57.640,0:30:03.600
they don't advertise stripper Christmas parties
because there's just not enough tickets plus ones
0:30:03.600,0:30:10.040
to give out you know just I'm go I'm going to
that but there are people that you do have to
0:30:10.040,0:30:15.400
make a decision yeah if they're gonna go to your
if you're going to be there plus one because you
0:30:15.400,0:30:22.040
know let's be honest some Partners don't always
have the type of fun or aren't into the things
0:30:22.040,0:30:27.320
you're into that's why sometimes opposite attracts
yeah but does that see that's the problem though
0:30:27.320,0:30:31.520
Joshua like you would want somebody who Vibes
with you on all levels you know you don't want
0:30:31.520,0:30:35.000
somebody who only Vibes with you on like
three levels when you're over here being
0:30:35.000,0:30:40.880
like 11 levels you know like you know that's
what I'm saying that's the that's the point I
0:30:40.880,0:30:46.440
was making but the the bigger Point here Joshua
is how do you feel about this you're bringing a
0:30:46.440,0:30:52.640
plus one there is a contest going on for the
ugliest sweater right ugly sweater contest is
0:30:52.640,0:30:57.800
going on and they win the ugly sweater contest
first of all I want to know how you feel about
0:30:57.800,0:31:04.880
ugly sweaters second of all I want to know if it's
okay that that guest won a prize at the Christmas
0:31:04.880,0:31:14.920
party I I'm not a big fan of ugly sweaters I'm
just going to put it out there I I know a lot
0:31:14.920,0:31:22.520
of people are into them and and you know putting
that silly looking thing on and I get it I have I
0:31:22.520,0:31:28.920
have a sense of humor and I totally understand
why it's humorous and why somebody would want
0:31:28.920,0:31:36.360
to wear it but I I at the same time I think it's
just a cruel joke you know to I think it's I think
0:31:36.360,0:31:43.320
it's cruel I I think somebody's taking advantage
of all the ugly sweaters that possibly Grandma
0:31:43.320,0:31:48.440
knitted you you know and now they're just making
a bunch of money off of it you know I I think it's
0:31:48.440,0:31:55.720
a cruel joke to all the grandmas of the world who
knit you know I'm offended my grandma knits that
0:31:55.720,0:32:03.480
old lady has knitted Min sweaters and and she's
knitted tons dude my grandma knitted a whole
0:32:03.480,0:32:09.880
bodysuit one time man I've seen this thing like
a whole whole jumper bro this thing is like and
0:32:09.880,0:32:15.040
no Sean I'm not gonna wear it for you I know
where you're gonna I'm not yeah you saw it
0:32:15.040,0:32:19.520
coming it's all right I know some other things
your grandma's knitted and I'd rather you wear
0:32:19.520,0:32:27.840
those things that she's knitted right dude like
I I get it though like the ugly sweater thing
0:32:27.840,0:32:33.720
and it's funny because when I was thinking about
this th this ugly sweaters weren't even a thing
0:32:33.720,0:32:43.280
until like the 1950s believe it or not um it it
yeah it's it's a fairly recent thing with the 50s
0:32:43.280,0:32:52.280
um it started with um I mean I think the Crosby
you know the Crosby that show do you know um um
0:32:52.280,0:32:58.440
so he wore one in that show and that jumped off
and then it kicked off into uh National Lampoons
0:32:58.440,0:33:04.000
that was another high point of the ugly sweaters
and then it died off in the 2000s and then now
0:33:04.000,0:33:12.280
it's kind of like made a comeback n see yeah
and and and I was I almost was forced to buy
0:33:12.280,0:33:22.960
an ugly sweater and I asked myself I asked myself
I was like would I rather wear this ugly sweater
0:33:22.960,0:33:31.880
or take a $20 bill take a [ __ ] on it and flush
it down the toilet I I I I had two options bive
0:33:31.880,0:33:37.000
ugly sweater or [ __ ] on a $20 bill and put it
down the toilet because that's exactly what I'm
0:33:37.000,0:33:44.080
doing when I spend $20 on an ugly sweater first
of all I want to know where you got a $20 ugly
0:33:44.080,0:33:49.160
sweater uh because if that's the case I would
like to have that ugly sweater uh because I'm
0:33:49.160,0:33:55.160
in the opposite Camp of you Joshua I love the ugly
sweater and I think of it more as an homage to the
0:33:55.160,0:34:03.680
grandma who knitted me uh My Willie warmer or
my U my my cozy sweater like I think of it more
0:34:03.680,0:34:10.320
of anage homage um and I get what you're saying
Corporate America greedy Corporate America right
0:34:10.320,0:34:17.600
stealing money from uh from the old people but to
be fair Joshua the old people it's their time you
0:34:17.600,0:34:23.800
know it's their they' they've had their time all
right I'm young I got disposable income like I
0:34:23.800,0:34:29.360
want something that looks like it's been like made
by an old person knowing that it wasn't made by an
0:34:29.360,0:34:34.760
old person that's what I want you know so I'm okay
with it I'm okay with it and they're funny they're
0:34:34.760,0:34:39.600
hella funny my grandma doesn't have a sense
of humor my grandma's really straightforward
0:34:39.600,0:34:48.800
so I don't know I'm okay with them yeah so you're
buying it you're wearing them I'm buy big America
0:34:48.800,0:34:57.000
big Corporate America I I support big big America
uh I support Corporate America and it's corporate
0:34:57.000,0:35:04.760
America is that it is now America put that on
his shirt buddy I support corporate greed buddy
0:35:04.760,0:35:07.640
but how do you feel about the second part of
this Joshua how do you feel about your your
0:35:07.640,0:35:13.880
plus one winning a prize at the uh Christmas
party like they don't work there but they won
0:35:13.880,0:35:22.520
a prize like how do you feel about that I think
I'm pretty I think I'm think I'm 100% sure plus
0:35:22.520,0:35:31.120
ones at at uh my Christmas party can't win but if
I'm answering the question how would I feel about
0:35:31.120,0:35:36.400
it I'm okay with it you know somebody's got to
win why not why not the winners being in my Camp
0:35:36.400,0:35:42.080
you know Camp Joshua let's bring home the winds
you know let's let's let's I'm all for it bring
0:35:42.080,0:35:47.560
bring bring it all bring it home baby bring it
this way see I'm I'm the opposite way Joshua
0:35:47.560,0:35:53.440
this is two things that we're directly opposites
on um I don't think a plus1 should win anything
0:35:53.440,0:36:01.360
I think Christmas parties are for the associate
or the the worker um and I feel like if you win
0:36:01.360,0:36:05.920
the prize that's great I don't want your cousin
who I've never seen before in my entire life to
0:36:05.920,0:36:11.920
win a prize that I really wanted you know what I
mean like that's not okay so I'm I'm all for just
0:36:11.920,0:36:16.440
Associates winning the prizes not their plus ones
but I get where you're coming from where it's like
0:36:16.440,0:36:22.680
a win is a win in everybody's Camp you know I'm
not doing it I'm not if you're C if your plus one
0:36:22.680,0:36:27.600
wins I'm stealing that prize I'm going to go up
to them throw a beer in their face and steal the
0:36:27.600,0:36:35.320
prize that I wanted so what what are your thoughts
on because we're still on Christmas parties right
0:36:35.320,0:36:41.880
everybody's in a good mood everybody's having
fun um we're talking about prizes what if the
0:36:41.880,0:36:51.720
gift you win ends up showing up on your paycheck
as a taxable piece of um uh merchandise and you
0:36:51.720,0:36:57.400
you the assumer the the the recipient of a prize
you brought you got your brand new PlayStation
0:36:57.400,0:37:02.480
you're like yeah you know I've always wanted to
buy one now I got one for free [ __ ] and then
0:37:02.480,0:37:11.880
you look on your paycheck and you see that5 $600
PlayStation deducted from your from your paycheck
0:37:11.880,0:37:18.120
correct as taxable income how does that make you
feel that's [ __ ] up and if any company is doing
0:37:18.120,0:37:22.840
that they should be sued I think they should be
sued for that you know that's ridiculous like
0:37:22.840,0:37:28.120
you shouldn't tax an associate for something that
they won and I get it it's probably like a state
0:37:28.120,0:37:33.280
law or some [ __ ] like that but that's not okay
that's not okay to to be taxed on something that
0:37:33.280,0:37:38.880
you won like is that that point I would be like
no [ __ ] this I don't want this like [ __ ] that
0:37:38.880,0:37:43.560
like you know who's got 500 bucks like I will
sell this to you for 500 bucks like I'm not I'm
0:37:43.560,0:37:47.680
not dealing with this [ __ ] like or just I won't
even take it at that point if I'm getting taxed
0:37:47.680,0:37:53.400
on that [ __ ] later unacceptable I acceptable
I agree with you I think it's disgusting and I
0:37:53.400,0:37:57.840
think it's gross I think the bigger the company
it is and the shallow you get with those kind
0:37:57.840,0:38:05.280
of fine print moves you are just even more of
an [ __ ] than everybody knows you are I mean
0:38:05.280,0:38:10.320
just a few seconds ago Josh I said I was all about
the corporate greed you know but that's uh that's
0:38:10.320,0:38:15.000
that's different that's like scumbag [ __ ] you
know you know what I mean that's all that's all
0:38:15.000,0:38:22.280
that's not my Corporate America all right my
Corporate America made Santa Claus okay cocacola
0:38:22.280,0:38:29.960
here's looking at you buddy yeah I think it's I
think it's pretty rude I I I know um I'm going
0:38:29.960,0:38:36.960
to think twice about any type of gift I receive
so that makes me ask you Joshua what what gift
0:38:36.960,0:38:41.680
would you be okay with being taxed on like what
how big how big is the gift that you would like
0:38:41.680,0:38:47.080
to be taxed on nothing if there had to be like
you're forced into this party Joshua you have
0:38:47.080,0:38:51.920
to pick one of these gifts that you're going to
get taxed on you know what would it be a $5 gift
0:38:51.920,0:39:00.600
card I'm if I mean if I'm doing it I'm I'm going
big I'm I'm like give me the PlayStation you know
0:39:00.600,0:39:06.560
give me the TV give me the TV you know like the
the Chromebook the laptop the you know like give
0:39:06.560,0:39:13.160
me I'm not I'm not a i guy not an Apple guy so
you know you probably keep that I'll sell that
0:39:13.160,0:39:20.560
to somebody but um yeah if I mean if I'm gonna
win just I want to win it all you know get get
0:39:20.560,0:39:29.520
again w a W's a w yeah yeah I mean you're not
wrong win is a win but still that's scum baggy
0:39:29.520,0:39:37.600
so yeah I I think it's I think it's wrong um but
you know we're just we're just uh you know we're
0:39:37.600,0:39:44.680
just guests in this in this uh corporate game so
we're not we're just we're not actually yeah we're
0:39:44.680,0:39:48.600
we're not driving the bus we're you know we're in
the back with seat not no seat belts we're just
0:39:48.600,0:39:54.320
you're just we're just going through it man we're
just trying to make them you you know we may not
0:39:54.320,0:39:59.880
be driving the bus there but we're driving the bus
here buddy now let's reflect a little bit Joshua
0:39:59.880,0:40:10.280
let's reflect on some of our past um Shenanigans
if you will Joshua um we've had 13 episodes with
0:40:10.280,0:40:17.560
this one Joshua 13 long miserable episodes if you
ask me um I want to know first of all josua how
0:40:17.560,0:40:25.440
are you feeling about that how do you feel about
13 episodes please enlighten us I I feel really
0:40:25.440,0:40:30.720
good I I feel like through this process I've
gotten to know you I've gotten to know other
0:40:30.720,0:40:39.960
people uh you know I I have connected with some of
the subscribers and it's great to hear feedback SE
0:40:39.960,0:40:50.440
uh no we we kept it to a mutual agreement of just
verbal um conversation there was no FR or anything
0:40:50.440,0:40:56.320
like that yeah there's no there there's none of
this this side stuff going on but yeah there's
0:40:59.360,0:41:05.280
I I've said it before I enjoy the process you
know this this creative process and and I think
0:41:05.280,0:41:09.920
every individual whether you're doing something
like this or you're going through life whether
0:41:09.920,0:41:17.920
it's school um so other some other creative means
you do photography you do music you write poems
0:41:17.920,0:41:25.640
um you write down your dream whatever whatever
whatever your creative processes uh I think um
0:41:25.640,0:41:30.520
there's this there's meaning in this and and when
I look back at this I I know that's probably the
0:41:30.520,0:41:36.320
biggest takeaway is is I'm glad I'm I'm here
and being able to experience this with you and
0:41:36.320,0:41:42.120
and those who watch and I hope everybody else
you know takes an opportunity to do something
0:41:42.120,0:41:46.720
similar like this or you know whatever you want
to do in life just just reflect every once in a
0:41:46.720,0:41:52.040
while because uh life is short you know time is
short we're not here forever you know you could
0:41:52.040,0:41:59.200
be gone tomorrow so facts reflect a little bit you
know know um don't wait till the end of the year
0:41:59.200,0:42:04.880
like we're doing you know Sean's only got you
know five days left or whatever more days I'm
0:42:04.880,0:42:13.840
done I'm done after this's done um so yeah you
know just just take some time every Everybody
0:42:13.840,0:42:17.680
reflect there's there's a reason why there's
a mirror in everybody's house they not there
0:42:17.680,0:42:24.520
just to freaking look at your receding hairline or
wish you were taller um you know you were a little
0:42:24.520,0:42:30.160
bit more buff you know Mir are there for a reason
take a look at take a look at yourself and and uh
0:42:30.160,0:42:36.920
Branch out a little bit because it's important so
that's great well spoke reflection is important uh
0:42:36.920,0:42:41.280
I'm with you I I feel like I feel like throughout
this whole process it's been a learning experience
0:42:41.280,0:42:46.000
and one that you know I've I've I have a little
bit experience with like some of this stuff like
0:42:46.000,0:42:53.200
the audio stuff and um some of the editing when
Mia lets me do that um but just to see where we
0:42:53.200,0:43:01.640
we came from from episode one 13 weeks ago ago to
now is like a a big change in a good direction you
0:43:01.640,0:43:07.520
know it it makes me excited to think about where
we're going to be at when we go from week one in
0:43:07.520,0:43:15.000
the new year to this same week next year you
know what I mean like to see the progress that
0:43:15.000,0:43:19.800
we'll have makes me really excited and I know
that we have a bunch of good stuff like in the
0:43:19.800,0:43:24.480
works like behind the scenes with a bunch of stuff
that we have going on and like maybe we'll make
0:43:24.480,0:43:30.440
an announcement next episode on that um but like
just to see the progress that we've had is pretty
0:43:30.440,0:43:36.480
cool like and it should I hope inspire people
to do something not like this or do something
0:43:36.480,0:43:40.960
that they've been thinking about doing for a long
time and like this was just something Joshua and
0:43:40.960,0:43:44.800
I were just like let's just [ __ ] do it let's
just [ __ ] go like let's get a camera let's get
0:43:44.800,0:43:53.720
a mic let's just do it you know just the ultimate
Nike ad if you will uh but it it it makes me happy
0:43:53.720,0:44:00.680
so it's really fun to see where we're at now and
to know where the future's taking us um and just
0:44:00.680,0:44:04.440

0:49:20.640,0:49:27.920
individual responsible for those lovely words
was Joshua JH did you really go did you really

0:50:40.800,0:50:45.880
we'll we'll just uh we we'll we'll hold off all
right do you have any more of the your words or
0:50:45.880,0:50:51.440

could do one more for you all right let's Do's do
0:50:51.440,0:51:00.960
one more I like it this is fun okay all right so
for my number three of where those your words are
0:51:00.960,0:51:12.800
mine I'm not a very strong person but I am Street
Smart I know to I know how to work my way around
0:51:12.800,0:51:20.080
a shaft if you know what I mean I think I know
this I I'm pretty sure I said this one I think
0:51:20.080,0:51:24.880
I remember I think I remember saying that one
too yeah that was that was all me I'm going to
0:51:24.880,0:51:34.840
go I can the episode probably too um it was the
[ __ ] episode three that correct can I guess the
0:51:34.840,0:51:39.880
minute let's see if I can guess the minute uh
guess a minute go for it guess a minute [ __ ]
0:51:39.880,0:51:50.280
24 minutes in you're very close it's actually
minute 30 oh damn that was that was pretty [ __ ]
0:51:50.280,0:51:57.320
close so what I'm getting from this josu say we
say a lot of out of- pocket [ __ ] is what I'm
0:51:57.320,0:52:03.240
getting at yes we do probably need to check
myself do you have anything to elaborate on
0:52:03.240,0:52:07.960
that one do you are you still a you know are
you still a strong man oh I'm still a strong
0:52:07.960,0:52:16.160
you still street smart are you still has anything
changed since since then are you still listen all
0:52:16.160,0:52:23.440
right um since episode three what has changed
still strong very strong man um still kind of
0:52:23.440,0:52:27.880
street smart you know I can probably get
us through right but the one thing I will
0:52:27.880,0:52:36.080
say is I still know how to work a shaft baby if
anything else you know that's what I'm good for
0:52:36.080,0:52:44.360
right I'm sticking to my guns on the things I
say Joshua all right give me that baby I'll eat
0:52:44.360,0:52:56.840
it so I I do have one more all right if you want
to hear one more or we just move on and we just
0:52:56.840,0:53:03.360
you know we'll we'll save save a little extra give
me one more J give me one more why not [ __ ] it
0:53:03.360,0:53:10.160
okay make you work harder you got to go find
more of these this one is going to this one's
0:53:10.160,0:53:14.400
going to be deep okay all right this is going to
be kind of one of those things that are said like
0:53:14.400,0:53:21.980
you're you're yeah you're GNA think have to think
long and hard or hard and long on this [Laughter]
0:53:21.980,0:53:29.080
one all right it's all right play it on me go if
0:53:29.080,0:53:35.000
you change your mindset you have
the ability to change your whole
0:53:35.000,0:53:47.880
world so I'm pretty sure this was a a fortune
cookie um son of a [ __ ] yeah because you know
0:53:47.880,0:53:51.600
it doesn't have our mannerisms in there we're
not speaking like that we're not I'm not going
0:53:51.600,0:53:59.840
to you Joshua if you lick your turds you will find
sadness like that's not what that's not what we're
0:53:59.840,0:54:05.200
speaking like so it had have been a fortune
cookie I don't know now the question is what
0:54:05.200,0:54:11.120
episode was that fortune cookie in you know and
I wanna I want to go off and I want to say like
0:54:11.120,0:54:20.200
episode five was when that fortune cookie was read
okay so Sean is correct uh none of us are that are
0:54:20.200,0:54:26.240
that enlightened in life um we cannot come up
with those magical words to Swift You way to
0:54:26.240,0:54:34.600
happiness um so that that those particular words
were from a fortune that we cracked open here on
0:54:34.600,0:54:43.400
uh on episode two oh episode two oh [ __ ] episode
two damn was a long time ago and I still remember
0:54:43.400,0:54:52.520

now when you inevitably quote something that we
said from here I will not remember and it'll be
0:55:10.720,0:55:19.320
