Don't Make It Weird
Two amateur authors and amateur humans—Daniel and Dina—discuss all things writing and books, and re-tell chaotic life adventures from cults to exes that think they’re horses. We’ve got you covered in this comedic and sarcastic, life-centered podcast. Follow us as we fail to not make it weird.
Don't Make It Weird
The One With The Holiday Hoedown Throwdown (feat. Special Guests!)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Grab your Santa hat and a cold pint of Death Raptor because this holiday special of our podcast is like the weirdest, wildest office Christmas party you've never attended – but always wished you had. Planned entirely by Dinasaurus, as scandalous and spirited as ever in her holiday get-up, we take you through a winter wonderland of topics, from the moral ambiguity of Christmas movie tropes to the chaos of outfit changes and technical gremlins that tested our festive fortitude. And let's not forget our special guests, Alexander James, Rance and Bob Denton, and our bestest friend Jess The Mess, who brought their own brands of merry mischief and reflections to our Christmas special.
Every holiday has its traditions, and ours apparently includes playing drinking games with impossible rules, honoring our lost friend in the most 'us' way possible, and speculating if Santa is indeed the tallest elf in the grotto. We also delve into the reality of multitasking as parents during the holidays – because nothing says Christmas like pumping while podcasting. From contemplating whether we'd rather spend Christmas trapped in Mariah Carey's holiday album or kissing the Grinch, to sharing our personal favorite festive films and traditions, this episode is a sleigh ride through the quirks and quintessentials of yuletide cheer.
Wrap up your season with our Christmas cocktail of jokes that'll have you deciding whether to belly laugh or facepalm. To bring it home, Sean, Jess, Rance, Alex, and Dina bring their own stories and humor to the table, making for a podcast episode that's more stuffed than your stocking. Whether we're paying tribute to a beloved friend with a cringe-worthy reading or two, or debating the finer points of Trader Joe's holiday offerings, this is one holiday gathering you won't soon forget. So pull up an armchair, pour another glass of that eggnog, and join us for a festive foray into laughter, camaraderie, and the unexpected joys of the season.

Weird Podcast Christmas Edition
Speaker 1He doesn't have to drive home, so he has no excuse, and I have to have him in white Russian Again.
Speaker 2I feel like we should be more excited about my beer being called Death Raptor.
Speaker 1OK, I think you just buffalode buddy.
Speaker 2Fucking hell. I did. God damn it. It's the best black.
Speaker 1This is the best. I'm leaving this in before the intro. Oh my God, let's go buddy, let's go buddy. Oh yeah, take it to the head bitch. It's the Don't Make it Weird podcast, with your hosts Daniel and Dina Soros. Hello and welcome to Don't Make it Weird podcast.
Speaker 2I'm one of your co-hosts Daniel Quigley and we are your writing storytelling comedy podcast for the writing community. The writing community, the ink does. You're back at you for a very special Christmas edition. I mean, look, I'm actually in my own house today. I'm not podcasting from my mom's basement, so you know if it looks a little extra chaotic and if I'm holding my mic. That's why what you guys have already missed is that I've buffalode. So things are going really well before this episode has even started. But you know who can fill you in on this? My co-host, because I am joined, as always, by the jolly jingle horse who jiggles joyfully Dina Soros.
Speaker 3I was going to try to do a Santa Claus intro. Oh my God wait. Wonderland, that's my favorite Taylor Swift song.
Speaker 2Final answer Well, you need the one by oh, I thought your body is Wonderland by John Mayer. Isn't that one of yeah Fuck?
Speaker 3John Mayer Outside now bitch.
Speaker 2But listen, I have attempted to seduce many women poorly to that song. So, like what has Taylor Swift done to help me as a wingman, Let me ask you that.
Speaker 3Listen to her lyrics. She literally gives you a map of how to win over a woman.
Speaker 2I only know love story. So so shy, toss rocks at someone's window and be not approved by the father, Is that the? Is that the roadmap?
Speaker 4Oh my God Is that the big sunrise, Dina yeah.
Speaker 2Now the folks that are listening on the audio only version of our podcast, don't flip over YouTube. Dina is literally only wearing like like Santa hat tassels over her, her regions, yeah, yeah. So just just trust us. Just trust us. You don't need to watch our YouTube, it's fine. No, you can trust us, but you know who you guys can always trust, because we have a third member of this team. Everyone and I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just one thing I need. Clippy doesn't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree. I just want him for my own, more than Frosty could ever know. Santa, make my wish come true. All I want for Christmas is producer Sean, everyone.
Speaker 1It sounded like he said I just want Tim for my own.
Speaker 2You know what? I'm okay with that too. That is a good interpretation of lyrics, and I will take the reanimated corpse of Dina's alleged husband and go from there.
Speaker 3Hey Sean, do you guys, do you hear that? What, what is that sound? I hear.
Speaker 1I hear slave that is jingling.
Speaker 3Is somebody knocking on the door?
Speaker 2Yeah, I think somebody's knocking on the door.
Speaker 3Yeah, you should, oh no.
Speaker 2Who do we have knocking on the door? The shittiest elf.
Speaker 1It's Alexander James. What's up everybody? What's up buddy? The shittiest elf is his name, that's correct.
Speaker 2Yes, I apologize, the worst elf on the shelf. This is the first time I think I've ever seen him wearing something other than his vest, and it's really weirding me out.
Speaker 6I was really upset about it.
Speaker 2I was giving very specific instructions, yeah, so so I've one question before we get started what's it like to participate in a poll for five minutes and immediately become the winner? I just I'd like to know, Alex, I would like, I would like to know what that type of internet power is like.
Speaker 6I would like to. I would like to. I would like to tell you how many times I wrote and rewrote that QRT because I was like the first. Easily 50 in drafts were like hey, vote on this poll. It helped me flush Daniel down the toilet. I had to find the better way to phrase that Is.
Speaker 1that is that Davils toilet?
Speaker 6It is. Yeah, is the toilet that Daniel flushed my show down?
Speaker 2I'm still incredibly proud of what don't make a weird accomplished on critically stupid, which just wrapped up their first season, or first campaign? I guess, not definitely the first season, but what's it like to have the pressure off you, buddy, get to put those creative juices to bed.
Speaker 6I mean it was a really, really good episode. You guys actually came up in the in the finale finale. Your effects lingered for that long, but it was a really good. It was a really good show. Everybody got to like change the story the right amount. Everybody got to have a hand on the ball and like shape the ending and, yeah, I'm really excited for everybody to see it.
Speaker 2And so now this guy, the guys, folks at home, this means that you have no excuse, no excuse at all, not to binge watch. Critically stupid from the beginning, cause now there's a beginning, middle and end.
Speaker 1What's that? You got a voicemail, you guys.

Speaker 3There's nothing on the rundown except for games. It's fine.
Speaker 1Speaking of buffalos for the uninitiated Buffalo Club means we all drink with our offhand. Oh my God.

Discussion on Various Topics
Speaker 7I haven't seen any of you in a year.
Speaker 9This is amazing, Wait hey gotta be honest with you.

Speaker 4So you guys carry on without how many kids do.
Speaker 2I don't know.

Speaker 2I'll be back in a second. Guys it's never refused us to put pants on.
Speaker 1Okay, you guys, I'm going to take this opportunity to do a clean take of our game explanation. All of you are initiated here, but for those of you at home who don't know, we have a series of words that will trigger a buzzer like this If you hear that, that means it's time to drink. Also, we're all initiated into Buffalo Club. That means we all drink with our offhand. Three people have already been caught today in a buffalo.
Speaker 1So let's not make it four right, if you get caught, you drink the rest of your beverage, so call it out, if you see someone Kelly's already busted two people from the audience, so do I have to finish this? Bottle.

Speaker 9I was going to say Melton, I'm a long time ago.
Speaker 1I was a little bit surprised. You monster, what's your name? Cubic? Oh Gross, oh my God, okay, so yeah, we'll do the same thing and Jess will go last this time.

Speaker 6Buries Cock.

Speaker 6What is your favorite holiday tradition in your house? Love this. Let's start with producer Sean.
Speaker 1For Christmas Eve everyone gets new jammies.
Speaker 6Oh that's awesome. That's so rad.
Speaker 5Do you get? Matching jammies in your family, or does everybody get like a fun fun pair?
Speaker 1Everyone gets jammies that are catered to their personality.
Speaker 6You know what I love about that is like that celebrates the sort of like very childlike night before Christmas. It celebrates that like you're going to sleep thing, like that's cool as hell.
Speaker 1And we all wear our new jammies to bed and we all wear them.
Speaker 9Do you wash?
Speaker 6them.
Speaker 5That's in the morning. They wash.
Speaker 6No.
Speaker 5You wear them for maybe eight and a half hours no.
Speaker 1What Clothes are never the same after you wash them the first time.
Speaker 5Why would you wash?
Speaker 1them Because they're fine.
Speaker 6You got to get that. Yeah, you got to get that store level like starch. You got to get that store level dust on your skin so that you stay strong.
Speaker 1I love the smell of a Chinese manufacturing facility. And that's what my new jammies smell like.
Speaker 5Same here.
Speaker 1Sean.
Speaker 6Same here, like peanuts and boks, and I'm sad, the first time I have to wash them Like leather and popcorn.
Speaker 1I like, exactly like leather and popcorn. That's like exactly.
Speaker 5You walk into any target that smells like leather and popcorn and you're like thanks, france, for that one.
Speaker 6Okay, rance. Yeah, what is your favorite holiday tradition?
Speaker 5Yes, yes.
Speaker 6Let's ask Jess really quick, Jess.

Speaker 6holiday tradition.

Speaker 1Yes, what is it Tiny persico?
Speaker 5You should. You're so cute, okay, you should, don't shake it, you're going to blow it up.
Speaker 5Favorite holiday tradition. It's a fairly new one, but my wife and I on the 23rd, my wife and I take the dog. We put the dog in the back of the car, we dress in comfies which are like our pajamas, but we don't buy any ones. We dress in comfies, we get a hot drink and we go in her car listen to Christmas music and we go. We plan out a route to go look at Christmas lights, because we don't really hang Christmas lights ourselves, but it's something that we do at like 11.30 at night on the 23rd, because the 24th and the 25th are a little wild and we look forward to it every year and the path is never the same and we have an absolute great time. It's just perfect time, like for our tiny little family outside of like, outside of extended family and all that shit.
Speaker 9It's just time for us, that's the cutest I've ever heard my life.
Speaker 6That's so great. That's so great. Rance, that's so wholesome the cutest I've ever heard. Thanks, thanks, dino. What is a favorite holiday tradition that exists in your house?
Speaker 3I have two favorites. So the first one is I like that for every gift that you open, you have to use it once before you open up another one. That's so cute, yeah, like even if it's monopoly or like risk or whatever, like you have to play before you can open another one Play monopoly.
Speaker 6Yeah, that's cool.
Speaker 1I really like that.
Speaker 7I'm a fan of the one that's been in my work.
Speaker 9So it started to fucking sex toy.
Speaker 5You went right here in front of the family Right now so I got to go correct without real quick. It's Christmas morning, returns, grandma's getting out the buzzer, ew.
Speaker 3It started because my dad found a bunch of board games and like toys under my brother's beds that were never open from Christmas and it was like July. It was like fuck you guys, you're going to use everything you know what.
Speaker 5You know what, though I think that's a really healthy tradition, too, because it also suggests that we need to be receiving things that are useful but also novel, like if you give me a six pack of socks, how do I deal with that? Do I got to put all the socks on and then put them away.
Speaker 9Can I be wearing any more clothes?
Speaker 3You have to wear one of the pairs of socks. See, that's the size we've been missing the last time.

Speaker 7The fuck is the past, the past.
Speaker 1Was it John Leguizamo?
Speaker 5John Leguizamo. Watch the past, the one where he is. It's basically the most dangerous game. Only he's like the most annoying person in the world. All right, cool. It's bad, it's not a good movie.
Speaker 1It's not, no, it's a bad movie. It's good because it's bad. All right, just a mess. I don't have a lot of.
Speaker 9I didn't grow up with a lot of Christmas traditions because Vietnamese immigrants. But we had a tree growing up and we had one of those lights. It was rainbow colored and it had tacky music that would play. And then the light to the music. So now Christmas doesn't feel like Christmas. I want us to like your shitty dollar store light music.

Speaker 1My dog had 14 teeth pulled because they were rotted, that's.
Speaker 6Isn't that most of them? All of the teeth, yeah.

Speaker 6Stop talking shit about my blue solo cup by the way, thank you so much for asking. Every Christmas Eve, my wife and I watch the Santa Claus with Tim Allen. Oh, that's good.
Speaker 6And my wife treats that movie like it is a a bullet train straight from her childhood. And I watched that movie for that one scene where I can mock that little idiot child for complaining that there isn't any chocolate milk at Denny's. Fuck you, you overcompensated, spoiled idiot American child, drink your regular milk. Of course it's fine. This waitress is doing her goddamn best. You stupid son of a bitch that that milk. Out of a bag. I was like he's like plain milk is fine. I'm like I hate you child.
Speaker 1So is when you guys put that movie on, is it like the moment where judge Reinhold finally gets his weenie whistle from judge?
Speaker 6Judge Reinhold is so funny to me and then he's like, and then Tim Allen's like, and you should see him walk on water and his kids like what. It's a really good movie, okay, okay, follow up question what's your least favorite holiday movie? We're going to flip the order where you start with the least favorite holiday movie.

Discussion on Holiday Movies and Actors
Speaker 5Valley.
Speaker 6Tom Hanks yeah, I hate him and why is he also a ghost on top of the train?
Speaker 3Tom Hanks plays seven characters in that movie.
Speaker 5Why the man needs to stop. He's too powerful.
Speaker 1I bet half of them are actually his brother.
Speaker 5That movie.
Speaker 4The voiceover for Woody.
Speaker 1Yeah, his brother does anything. That's not an actual toy story movie, but features. Woody is voiced by his brother, jim Hanks.
Speaker 2Fucking.
Speaker 6Jim Hanks crouched at the end of the acting table. Please, sir, okay, rance, yeah, elf, oh, correct, that's a good answer. I do not. I, I find that movie Simply irresistibly frustrating, annoying and aggravating, mostly because I think it's Will Ferrell.
Speaker 5I just don't really deeply care for Will Ferrell.
Speaker 3That's fair, my dad hated him too, but like I don't like this.
Speaker 7Yeah.
Speaker 5And I recognize that I might be in the minority for that like it's just a movie that I just don't like.
Speaker 3My cousins- watch Elf 25 days in a row for December. I'm not kidding.
Speaker 7I shit myself 25 days.
Speaker 5Did they?
Speaker 6like sell their soul to the devil. And that was his. That was the side of his bargain.
Speaker 1No, it's like TBS when they when they play a Christmas story 24 hours a day for a week because that's all they could afford to get the rights for in fucking December.
Speaker 3Funny thing. Oh, please, it's ranch.
Speaker 1That was a fucking hot, take man I love that.

Speaker 3I have pink freeze. We'll see if it's good.
Speaker 7Okay, that's a.
Speaker 6Just the mess.
Speaker 9I don't know really any holiday movies, so I'm also going to go with Polar Express. It's a bad, respectable, it's a bad.
Speaker 1It's a solid choice.
Speaker 6I tell you what, though. I tell you what, though? The one bubble of redeemable moment that that movie has is at the end, when that kid, like, still hears the magic of Christmas. Like that. That part does get me a little bit. Bullshit. Yeah, that's all right, I'm going to fuck myself.
Speaker 1I have an honorable mention Okay, I just remembered basically any Christmas movie that has Vince Vaughn in it Fucking fucks that.
Speaker 9Who's been bitch? You know, I think he's a great actor. I'm actually also good.
Speaker 6Red.
Speaker 1Claws. Has anyone seen Fred Claws?
Speaker 5Yes, oh, but it's dog shit, oh yeah.
Speaker 4I should have picked that one Basically bone meal, dog shit.
Speaker 3Basically I'm so.
Speaker 1Is Nicholas Claus, santa Claus's brother, and he's kind of a piece of shit and that's the whole story.
Speaker 9That's. It Is Santa Claus's brother, no so.
Speaker 1Fred is.
Speaker 9Oh, so Santa is.
Speaker 1Yes, yeah, okay, fred Claus and Fred is Nicholas's brother and he's kind of the black sheep of the family and he's a fucking, you know, a loose cannon.
Speaker 5What dipshits in a fucking meeting room got together and we're like good, this fucking idea about Fred Claus. Okay, he's Nick Claus's brother. We're going to make millions off this. The movie's going to have a budget of 4.2 million. We're going to make 6 million.
Speaker 3You know what I don't?
Speaker 5understand Vince Vaughn's going to be in it.
Speaker 7You know what I don't understand? Vince Vaughn's going to be in it.
Speaker 3We got to talk about this though. Okay, four Christmases I'm going to say Four Christmases is a good movie. That's my fucking life Really. What is the deal with Vince Vaughn? How has he been? That's Vince Vaughn A rom-com, I know, but like, what is his deal? Because how has he been the rom-com love interest for so many fucking movies? He was partnered with Jennifer Aniston in a movie. Like how did that happen?
Speaker 1Yeah, but that was not a rom-com, that was a breakup movie. It was called the Breakup.
Speaker 6That's a fact.
Speaker 3There was no half a thing in that movie.
Speaker 6No part of that was rom or com.
Speaker 3What it's com all the way, it was a comedy. But it's not a happy ending.
Speaker 1They never got back together.
Speaker 3Break-com.
Speaker 5Is it R-U-M-C-U-M or is it?
Speaker 1R-O-M-C-O-M. Thank you Jess, I was going to rom-com. Rom-com. Yeah, that's just called a romance Rance.
Speaker 5Okay, okay, wow, okay. So wait, so that everybody's, we've got the bad, the bad movies there, right? Everybody said theirs. Yep, Everybody said theirs.
Speaker 9Wait, alex, what was yours? All right, still Venus? Yeah, we still need.
Speaker 5Venus here right.
Speaker 1No, I still agreed with the polar express.
Speaker 6I concur with the polar express, but like, is it because of the last moment in that movie it does? It does actually get to me. What a bitch. My least favorite, my least favorite holiday movie is probably the fucking Muppet Christmas Carol, because I'll give a fuck about the. Muppets, I'll give a fuck about the.
Speaker 1Muppets Alex, you just said you've never watched any iteration of a. Christmas Carol.
Speaker 6I watched 25 minutes of that movie and I turned it off to do something else.
Speaker 5I got to get real close to the mic for this one. I got to get real close to the mic for this one because I just want to tell you you are 100% allowed to have sex with my mom, because I'm so proud of you for that. Take the man.
Speaker 4Out of context.
Speaker 6That's a wild thing to say.
Speaker 1I'm not for sure you would be pissed off about that, first of all, you just made me forget that Rance hates Elf.
Speaker 5Yep, a dude. I do also worse take than Also. Don't give a shit about the Muppets either.
Speaker 9Is it Muppets Fuckin' Christ? Rance Is that why, no, it's the next finger, it's, it's.
Speaker 6They took a regular story, the Christmas Carol, and they're like but what if we put these weird fuzzy puppets in it? And then it made millions.
Speaker 5Wait, that sucks, alex James. Alex James, I just realized that's why you've never seen any other iteration of a Christmas Carol. It's because you saw that, oh, the Jim Carrey Christmas Carol was actually quite good, jim.
Speaker 1Carrey Christmas Carol, that's an animated one right Top 10.
Speaker 6Fucks.
Speaker 5Yep, have you seen the? Have you seen the guy, the guy, the guy? I think it was Guy Richie's Guy Richie. I'm sorry, guy Richie.
Speaker 1No, it would have said Guy Richie's a Christmas Carol.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 2Guy Richie presents a Christmas Carol. It was on FX.
Speaker 5It was on FX like three years ago and for about 75% of the movie it Fox, it's super dark. And then the last. The last 25% of the movie are crap. Guy, guy, guy.
Speaker 6Guy.
Speaker 5Fieri presents a Christmas Carol Guy. Richie did a bunch of Christmas. We got a one way ticket to fucking flavor show.
Speaker 1Wait, wait, wait, we are.
Speaker 6this is a pack of writers here, so I want to take a bubble of a moment while Brance thinks about this. I want to write Guy. I want to write Guy Fieri presents a Christmas Carol. Guy Fieri, fieri. So I think it starts with Guy Fieri, somebody just said it.
Speaker 5Yeah, I just I said it, guy Fieri, 20 seconds ago.
Speaker 1Guy Fieri presents a Christmas Carol.
Speaker 6Guy.
Speaker 1Fieri presents a Christmas Carol body. 20 seconds ago, guy Fieri presents a Christmas Carol. Dave Pierce plays.
Speaker 5Scrudedge. It's so dark and fucked up. It's so dark and fucked up, it's so good, up until the last 25% of the movie. And this one and Andy is Agnes is the thing Alex is he Alex?
Speaker 3Yeah, Jim Carrey's Christmas Carol. I've refused to watch any other Christmas Carol besides that because it is that good and I've watched, I've watched a lot. But once I saw Jim Carrey's I was like, oh no, I'm done, it's so good, you do need to give that a chance.
Speaker 6All right. As long as there's any of those weird puppets in it.
Speaker 1No, we ask you something though like would you? This is what they call a callback in the biz.
Speaker 4OK, OK, OK, OK, circle around my part.
Speaker 6Thank you, Rance. I'm thank you for explaining what a callback is.
Speaker 1I thought I was going to say that it's just bunions to to prevent losing that movie forever. Like, yeah, either, either give up that movie to be spelled the way it was.
Speaker 5Sorry, I'm not Is there bunions.
Speaker 3Did I spell it wrong.
Speaker 5The spelling was amazing.

Speaker 9This kind of oh yeah, yeah, canadian People got a holiday, so what do you make the schedule?
Speaker 1Alex, I thought you ran that kitchen.

Speaker 3You don't give a shit.
Speaker 1I get paid whether I show up or not.
Speaker 6Yeah, I wore a turkey hat and was mildly hungover.
Speaker 5So so here's a, I have a, I have a round table, just found a family, ok, ok. Ok, because we all are writers or writer adjacent. People constantly talk about fucking tropes, which is just a conversation that I never have.
Speaker 9It's like if you're all about tropes, fucking, tropes, fucking, tropes the conversation about it.
Speaker 5Yeah, when do you get? So I was going to say, like what are your either? What are your favorite or least favorite holiday tropes in storytelling?
Speaker 9Can you give an example of what a holiday trope is?
Speaker 5Yes, so I will say, the one that I hate mine, the one that I book and hate so much, is the. I'm going to think we're specifically talking about Christmas is that there is always the perfect white snowfall on Christmas or Christmas?
Speaker 1Eve, because that's like in Hawaii. Yeah, yeah, in display. It doesn't matter where they are.
Speaker 9Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4And you know, it's just like because it's yeah usually like potato flakes.
Speaker 1Oh yes, potato flakes are used to start starch, or I just get up there and start rubbing my head or flaking off my feet.
Speaker 6It's just a way to get your money for a better space.
Speaker 1Damn it. My least favorite ever is the big city career girl returning home and falling in love with the fucking that's the tropes.
Speaker 6Sean, you're going to say your least favorite is the one that's the hallmark tropes.
Speaker 1I hate it. I fucking hate it. Try something new, Hallmark yeah hallmark.
Speaker 6I think my least favorite holiday tropes is the, the, the town that should, by every metric, be a dog shit poedunk. Nobody should live your town that is only made pretty by dint of it being the holidays.
Speaker 4Yeah.
Speaker 5Yeah, like the minute that January 21st comes around. Oh my god, which is just it's muddy and cold and sucks. You got. You got the hank over in the corner like barely drunk outside of the drink and stop.
Speaker 2Yeah, like he's just 40 miles from the nearest airport.
Speaker 6Like it sucks to live there.
Speaker 5but they're like oh, it's Christmas, he's got semen stains on the front of his corduroy trousers the white, yeah yeah the front. He's just been jacking it Just nonstop jacking it since Christmas.
Speaker 9Oh, I thought you meant someone was yeah, no, no, no, no, no, no no, no, he, it's gone through the corduroy.
Speaker 5It's like pressure washed into it. Yeah, OK, he's like like slacking it just day in.
Speaker 1This is spoken like a man who is definitely thinking so.
Speaker 7A lot about semen.
Speaker 6Are they shellacked with giz Just?
Speaker 1Oh my god, Are they the yogurt pants?
Speaker 9They are not the yogurt pants. Those were fleece pants and very hard to clean.
Speaker 1I have to pee you guys, I will be right back.
Speaker 5Just wait. What is with the sleeve? What is with the sleeve around your bottle?
Speaker 6Oh, it's to keep it.
Speaker 5It's to keep it from getting like that's actually really smart, a really smart idea.
Speaker 9I bought this from Walmart. It is a triple XL, but it was a Walmart. Plug.
Speaker 5Pugswetter. It's a book, it's perfect, oh my God, so much fabric on the front of that.
Speaker 6You can like, pull it like you look like this is my boob.
Speaker 9This is the shirt.
Speaker 3Look at you so much shirt I love, I love.
Speaker 6the geographic marker of this is my boob, and this is.
Speaker 5I didn't even realize to this point, because it's so big. It was actually just a shirt that I designed on it.
Speaker 6Well, you were you for the first hour of this recording. You were a series of static pictures.
Speaker 9I know I just had to be in the living room apparently.
Speaker 6Fine, All right, Dina. What's your least favorite holiday trope? Let's keep it going.
Speaker 3The girl that is engaged to the really rich guy that's like full of himself or whatever, and then she meets the Whatever perfect ideal guy.
Speaker 6Like small town cobbler.
Speaker 3Yeah, like I hate that because you're engaged, don't be a fucking idiot, fucking cheater. I love that you're sticking point.
Speaker 6I love that you're sticking point to this, as you have engaged in the sacrament of marriage. How?
Speaker 7dare you throw that away.
Speaker 9Yeah well, the thousand percent tracks for everything I know.
Speaker 6All right, jess. What about you least favorite writing trope for the holidays?
Speaker 9All right, mine is similar to Sean's with the small town girl thing, but it's specific to the line and picturing a scene where she's like seeing a guy who was like far city, varsity, varsity, varsity varsity varsity, varsity.
Speaker 5It's far, it's far city in here right now.
Speaker 6I can't even see that city is so far away.
Speaker 5Oh, varsity, I thought he's saying fart city.
Speaker 9I was like I get fart city, you know like hot football boy, sports ball dude. And then she's like he's like, oh, you're back in town. And she's like I didn't even think you ever noticed me.
Speaker 4Whoa.
Speaker 9Like he's still there and she's like, oh you never. I never thought you noticed me, whereas I'm, like you never left this town, like you're still.
Speaker 6But you're still here. You're still here, you're not, he's not.
Speaker 1Are you talking about my trope?
Speaker 5Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 9She's like adding to it. Yeah, yeah, piggybacking Okay.
Speaker 6I've got it. I've got a new roundtable question because, like, that's all we got now and that is yeah we're just riffing.
Speaker 5I like it, we're riffing.
Speaker 6If you could spend Christmas anywhere in the world with a certain group of people, where would you go and who would you do?
Speaker 7a certain group of people.
Speaker 3I never thought about this, but I had an immediate answer. Sorry. It could be your family.
Speaker 6It could be your friend group. It could be a Jar Jar colony on the moons of oh, I was trying to keep Daniel alive a little bit.
Speaker 1And our colony of the means of Hoth. He's going to love that.
Speaker 6Oh man, okay, so let's go. Let's start with just the mess.
Speaker 9What.
Speaker 6I have nothing. Don't start with me. So it sucks for you. Get it, get, get, get there.
Speaker 9With who, where you tell me dog. Okay, it would be every single person that is still on this podcast right now in Alexander Daniel that room. He's on right now in with the little purple stickers on the wall, so in Alexander James's apartment.
Speaker 1Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 9People right here with all of us just get stuff and rolling his die.
Speaker 6Yeah, yeah I want to touch all your plants. Touching shit. I have a lot of plants, I have a lot of d20s. You can, we can all roll them together.
Speaker 9I'm all about a very cute. I want to. I want to touch your cat, nimbus.
Speaker 6Oh Nimbus.
Speaker 9I want to be this.
Speaker 6Yeah, nimbus.
Speaker 5Oh, nimbus, nimbus, Tinkus.
Speaker 6Don't talk shit about my cat. Oh, I know I would never talk to him again.
Speaker 5Dude, I am one of these people who's like please take days off, work for your cat.
Speaker 6Yeah, fuck yeah.
Speaker 4Paternity, fuck yeah.
Speaker 1Yep, yeah, okay, I'll also take eight days off of work for your cat.
Speaker 9Um Paternity leave. Yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1I've never had a white Christmas. I've never had a white Christmas. I would want to go somewhere where you get a nice snow on Christmas morning, like that whole that the basically the trope that rant spread up. I want to wake up on Christmas morning and see snow falling outside powdery snowfall.
Speaker 5I'm going to send an email to the drunk who sits outside of the drinking stop. It's going to get you a real white Christmas.
Speaker 1The drinking stop. Is he going to soil my quarter ice for me? Oh yeah. I would want somewhere where it snows, and you know all my friends and family. Like I can't just name people, they'd have to be everyone.
Speaker 6That's totally fair. I have two. I have two questions for you, sean. Number one Is it do you in your, in your mind, palace? Do you see it like no snow Christmas Eve, full snow Christmas, or is there some snow Christmas Eve and more snow Christmas?
Speaker 1I don't really care if there's snow the day before. What I really want is that picturesque thing of the Christmas tree in front of the window.
Speaker 5Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1The corner of the window and you see the just like my background, like in the window. That's what I want, guys.
Speaker 6Everybody guys guys, guys, gus is here.
Speaker 5That snow has got to be untouched by human feet to, oh yeah.
Speaker 6Oh yeah.
Speaker 5Real fast. Yeah, because you see a bunch of kids out in the snow like it's, like there's. Nothing to me is more sad than a snowman three and a half days after he's been put together, oh yeah.
Speaker 6You see all the way sticking out of him and he looks like a real piece of shit.
Speaker 5He looks like he's on his car.
Speaker 1It was drunk outside of the drinking stuff. Yes, just does it snow in BC or no?
Speaker 9Not on the. I live right on the coast, so it's really my.
Speaker 4Oh.
Speaker 9Um, so not often, and then the rest of BC, like interior, gets really, really snowy. Um, but where I live not as much. It's very mild, yeah, it wet. I live in the what?
Speaker 1she went to Toronto in December and it was just slushy everywhere, just yeah.
Speaker 9It was just nice. I don't know, I have a question.
Speaker 3It's kind of a Mandela effect real quick. Um, do you guys remember back like in high school or middle school, like where you would like take the tab of your soda can and like a, b, c, d?
Speaker 1E G lemon in yeah.
Speaker 3Yeah, um, and like that, like whatever letter it landed on, that would be the first like your soulmate or whatever.
Speaker 1No, we'd say the thing with the fortune teller thing?
Speaker 5I can't remember what that's real bad for Yuri.
Speaker 3This, this Mandela effect, don't make sense. Okay, nevermind.
Speaker 9Seed? I don't know, I don't know. Kelly, do you know what you're talking about?
Speaker 1Yeah, Did you do the soda tab thing?
Speaker 5That was like yes, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, do you remember?
Speaker 3Kelly, do you remember you could get like to like the middle of the alphabet and these days, every time, I try to do that if you were real gentle with it. No, like you could just normally do it, and these days I get to like, see, and it's like I mean it's, it's off.
Speaker 1You would never end up with because yes.
Speaker 4Or you would bang.
Speaker 3Yeah. Chester, chester the cheetah one, that's the fucking, I don't know. It just chases me.
Speaker 1Chad. Chad was no, they don't know he's meant to end up with somebody named Chad.
Speaker 6They just don't make soda tops the way they used to you know did you answer the question about place and company for Christmas?
Speaker 5Are you guys listening to Kelly?
Speaker 1What happened? The back.
Speaker 3Fuck, I was actually messaging her.
Speaker 6It's so wonderful.
Speaker 3No, so okay, my initial response. I've never even thought about this a day in my life, but I was like Iceland alone. I don't know why I said that but then when Jess said I've never been.
Speaker 4I never even thought about it.
Speaker 3But then Jess said Alex's apartment and I was like, oh my God, you know what would be really great if I could get all of like the these, the people that were on the show today, and go to Liverpool and see Peter Sean. I don't know why that came to my head.
Speaker 6And I was like that'd be pretty radical Perfect.
Speaker 9Christmas, all right.
Speaker 5The big old PST shout out PST.
Speaker 1No one else is there, it's just you, the other type of PST yeah.
Speaker 6That's right.
Speaker 9Yeah, that's it.
Speaker 6Wait, what's the first type of PST?
Speaker 5Pacific it's the one that you live here, so when you go, yeah, yeah, I still got the time wrong.
Speaker 6Oh, my God, who hasn't answered? Jess, did you answer? No, you did. You said my apartment and Sean answered Rance. Answered Rance. I did not answer Rance. I didn't answer.
Speaker 5All right, so I would be. It would be with my immediate family, but we would be over in England, specifically Southern England, in Bournemouth. Why would we be there? Because about 11 years ago One of my dearest friends his name is Craig.
Speaker 5Craig was going through really terrible divorce, and my most memorable Christmas to this point was one year where Craig was about to move back to Bournemouth. He lived here in the US. He split up with his wife and he had nowhere to go on Christmas and we he stayed over at my parents' house for Christmas, and so we stayed there with him, and just here is, you know, two 30-somethings on a couch laughing about the dumbest shit you can possibly imagine on Christmas Eve. But waking up with someone who is not a member of your family but is in your family on Christmas and being able to be present with them, it really is one of those gifts that, like you, never forget. It is the most unforgettable Christmas to me and I wish I could recreate that and just live in that moment again, but at a time that was happier and kinder to him.
Speaker 6That's fucking beautiful.
Speaker 1I'm not even incredible answer.
Speaker 7Wow, I'm not even going to talk shit. God damn. Wow, how did you?
Speaker 5Yeah, how did it?
Speaker 6go. Do you know what I love you, Ryan?
Speaker 5Drinking stuff. Yeah, go just on your car.
Speaker 9I don't always run so much, ryan, and the reason why is just because you can go from.
Speaker 1Roy's, you can go from fucking oh yeah, fart jokes yeah. And then you'll have like the most poignant, like fucking amazingly thoughtful thing to say in the next breath.
Speaker 4Well, thank you.
Speaker 1I just fucking love how you can flip flop back and forward between the same.
Speaker 6That was beautiful.
Speaker 2I guess my buttholes in this whole time.
Speaker 9Why don't you scratch it?
Speaker 1Yeah, you just do a little. It's a little. I hate that.
Speaker 3I mean I contact with him, as he does it.
Speaker 1Um, you got to, you got to be. That's the moment where you make eye contact with the camera and you're like hey listen. Can we like say a few Christmas words in the spirit? Of magic and family and giving gifts and Daniel and our fallen friend Daniel.
Speaker 4Yes.
Speaker 1Couldn't be with us here tonight.

Speaker 9we spread his ashes on Rance's color to quarter.
Speaker 6We can.
