#532 - Decorating For The Holiday Season!

The episode blends holiday cheer with irreverent humor and personal storytelling, centered around a group's festive tree decorations and favorite Christmas music. Coach and Spotify launch a collaborative campaign called the Tabby Tour, offering live events, personalized playlists, and immersive experiences across the U.S., inviting fans to express their unique stories through music and style. The hosts engage in a lively, anecdotal discussion about iconic and modern Christmas songs, highlighting artists like Michael Bublé, Kelly Clarkson, and Ariana Grande, while also critiquing and celebrating classic holiday tunes. The tree decorations showcase a mix of absurdity and personal flair—ranging from Danny DeVito Cheetos to a pickle tree, a mermaid reindeer, and a Jeff Hardy wrestling figure—each representing individual tastes and memories. The conversation reflects on childhood nostalgia, such as a skateboarding dinosaur and Barney the Dinosaur, emphasizing that joy comes from personal connections, not materialism. Throughout, the hosts maintain a playful tone, using humor to explore both festive traditions and personal quirks. The episode also features sponsor plugs for ZocDoc, Rocket Money, Skims, and Squarespace, promoting health, financial wellness, and online creativity. Ultimately, the segment celebrates holiday spirit through laughter, self-expression, and shared human experiences.

clear i love mikey boobs right to be clear also a cover right you're going down a bad way right now with me you're going down the wrong alleyway and guess what we're the thugs at the end ready to stick up for boobs i think you would meet me in the middle no we'll let you get there so you got a sense well it's our alleyway don't tell us how to operate our alleys yeah we wait you think that you're safe when you have your boob talk out of our alleys you know what i'm saying got it got it got it i just he has done like his versions of christmas songs yeah hold up i'm looking up this album they have gone into like it's very hard to crack into like iconic christmas music and he's one of i would say four modern artists that has done it obviously mariah carey's the other one well she i mean that might be the greatest of all time fucking what's his name beebs overrated what's overrated his christmas music it's it i can't what am i gonna say to that i mean it's just like it's an insane thing to do to say i will say at least his was original you know who has a shady it wasn't was it yeah some of it was you know who has a christmas love banger who cares you know who has an incredible original i think christmas song that is also a big we're big fans of here at the basement yard k clark kelly clarkson bro hit the fucking desk harder and i'll hear jesus yo that song it does there's no lead-in it's just like boom we're off to the race and she just fucking like banger i love slow like nat king cole you know like i love that there's a candle and it's snowing but when you get punched in the mouth by kelly clarkson's vocals yeah nothing is preparing usually christmas music is like more slow and it's like a cozy song and you're laying on the couch whatever but that song's like someone threw a present in your fucking face just like bang christmas slut wait you never answered what's your favorite christmas song oh i i yeah i didn't um also i'm looking up the the track list is it all out to the boob um it's all covers it's pretty much but that doesn't matter the thing that he's done which i think is even more impressive is he's made him he's taken these songs and been like these are mine now yeah these are better than the original version andy williams who's perry como don't think so well hold on any any williams that one it's a banger don't get me wrong don't get me wrong when you hear those bells it's the most yeah i'm like forget it it just it i hear that song and it puts me in like holiday rush mode you know what i'm saying i'm shopping during shopping you know and i'm running around with the bags like this like yeah where are the toys yeah exactly i i'm fully in on the andy williams it's the most wonderful time also we gotta give credit to our girl brenda lee rocking around the christmas tree is quite frankly just an all-timer i feel like it's a little over i think i think i don't wait what what's your favorite christmas song i can see

good song and it's filmed in black and white i'm like all right and i mean we need to look into this let's just look anyone i would say that 90 of them pre-1999 you know it's a red flag for me when it's black and white and the white people are holding a skinny microphone i'm like oh like the lawrence welk show but they're just like just just look into that because there has to be there might have been some stuff with bob barker too he kept that skinny microphone to the end well that one's extra skinny that one was super no they all had some skinny dick well the ones that are like and it's

All right I'm gonna start Great year incredible year, but I have noticed that one of the most regular Inclusions in any grocery order that we have is pickles. So that's why I have this which is a Christmas tree made of pickles Mmm, it's just such a pickle year. I think pickles are having a resurgence. I brought back Hawaiian shirts I brought back the word laborious. I do think that I am slowly bringing back pickles for the world youth. Okay What that's why is your other hand below the desk? I don't like that Okay, because I didn't know if there was something going on. I mean, there's some other stuff going on I'm sure I got some other stuff just in the pickles man, bro. We get pickles So much like Every order we do it's stacked with pickles What is stacked with pickles? Costco sized pickle jars and we get the grill oh go into our mouths brother No, no, where can it be stored into the fridge?

I do get their half sours though, and I do, you know, I love pickles member at the old studio. Yeah, I'd get pickles all time Yeah, I'm like watching you eat a pickle. That is the interesting thing my days of consuming pickles have Changed my previous days. Okay, I used to I used to be a little sexually aggressive just like that song Yeah, it was now instead of the full pickle at once you take bites No, he like he sucks the pickle dry and I know that sounds like I'm trying to make a joke But he literally would like suck. Yeah, so what I know there was no moisture Yeah, what I would do is I'd turn it into a praising which is naturally A pickle raisin right and it I would bite the top off and I would I would literally I can't do this Suck it like yeah, you suck it until it's dry. I I would I would you'd suck it rotten Can you take it back one for my step? I feel like I'm not being that crazy I think you're being a little crazy and sucking something rotten.

in something from my childhood and i had to and i know i previously brought this up but this was mine when i was a child it's a skateboarding dinosaur and now that i look at it i have the wrong one this is my brother's where's mine that's not your brother that's yours it says sun 1994 on the on the on the back oh okay wait do you have all of your your skating dinosaurs i guess i have i guess or have you just had this one forever i've had this one to be like this is mine and now that i see it's 94 maybe it's my brother's it cannot be or maybe or maybe they just got it to me in two years old yeah regardless he's a skating dinosaur with a backwards cap which is so cool and a pink backpack which at the time not ideal yeah you know but look he's hip he's fly he's got a bit of childlike wonder and he's balance on his really rad skateboard that's cute i think it really captures my joy and happiness yeah it you don't look like it i think i can look like it what you can't um the building's great i like it the building is on its way down yeah hagrid just got here what was that um it's just you know this is this is a family in alvarez family relic and this will last forever nice and if it ever gets thrown out i will haunt any of my ancestors that have done that i'm sure you will that seems like on par for you don't say it like that what if people throw stuff out i believe it all right i was i was looking at the uh my feet over here the arms on this thing look great in this lighting nice just saying yeah you're horny um all right what else you got i had one that looks like joe so i thought i'd get one that looks like frankie i have it penny wise oh you wow why do i look like it what am i looking at i can't even see it why is the balloon in front of his face that's a little bit that's how he stands a little bit oh that's right ready to float not bad that was pretty good not bad dude i don't think you look like this i i figured it was a joke okay um although bill skarsgård actually i know what i think about it he's got big eyes got big eyes dude that whole family bill alex bro they can sell and see dude can see those guys they can see yeah and they can act let me tell you yeah like a family of actors good for them uh i have you seen you've seen it movies right joey yeah um i only saw the first one it was the second one was a little disappointing personally well it's a little crazy too they took some stuff out of those books that i'm glad they took out do you know about the books aunt you know about the books yeah well they had to take out that yeah so i'm not stephen king's a weird dude stephen king was clearly on cocaine for several decades and uh when the kids get out of the tunnel yeah when they get out of the tunnel after they defeat it in the first part of the book they thought that to defeat it they needed to grow up and not be kids anymore yes so they all practice having sex with the one female member of the losers club he's writing these about excuse me he's writing this about 10 year olds i don't know if i didn't know frankie was just going to hammer it there but i mean i don't think any way to describe it is any worse than the actual what it is i had no idea that was part of the thing yeah it didn't really work it didn't yeah i don't think that would have been green it absolutely did not work yeah he ended up coming back right well i got this one for him oh that's just what is this this one's for you bud thank you you got one from it thank you yeah no that's just is that mickey it is it was i'll be honest with you i got this as a joke and i'm looking at it and i don't like it now you feel bad about it yeah i do you i'm not you have a full-on what's with this what's that that's like on the things like they have like little red things on them to like snap it oh that's the crank yeah i'm sure it's just like a design thing yeah i don't like this anymore it's kind of mean well it has to go on your tree now yeah now you have to put it up there you have to now you have to declare that you are a murdering psychopath in the back of the tree well she fell is it like a good quality it looks like a good quality ornament is it heavy yeah it's kind of heavy all right what do you got okay well i also went the route that this one uh it's got some bells on it so it's festive okay uh and it says go ahead jingle my bells frank is that am i looking at a ass i think those are balls brother what am i looking at but what am i looking at uh it's yes that's an ass and underneath those are supposed to be the bells wow i just think like you know it's playful it's fun it's happy yeah it's like it's like a go ahead like this is what i expect to see on the back of like a ford f-150 right during christmas time and now it's on your and also a punisher logo right that's clearly taken out of context because people don't understand that the punisher actually didn't like corrupt people all right uh but yeah go ahead it's it's it's wood okay oh thank god i can't put this up on my tree at home that's for sure there will be questions there will be questions i just thought it was a cute little way to say like hey you don't like me fuck you right this is the appropriate setting for that i would think so yeah well i mean i killed disney yeah you have a full-on murder scene on yours yeah and ant has what i can only imagine is the how he goons over you as a merman um what are we doing i brought it in well if he's going balls you're going gingerbread i told you i had it yeah it's an interesting one this is what i'm doing yeah how do you youtube it's all right it's a gingerbread say again youtube it's a ginger oh they probably i mean yeah i hope they don't they don't know what this is i mean we got balls and now i don't think and anthropomorphic characters like animated characters are going to get us into a ton of trouble right you couldn't say animated you didn't want to say that what was the reasoning behind anthropomorphic that's not even i don't think anthropomorphic i don't even know what it means um this is pretty prominent yeah who's who's and and for some reason the balls keep turning toward me and i don't like that so we're gonna just gonna put them the the balls yearn for you baby all right the balls just they're attracted to me i guess all right what else do i got in my bag whose is worse ants full-on intercourse happening on his tree or mine which is just like a little haha innuendo i mean we don't know um maybe into the mic i don't know so this one very easy obviously it's very basement oh yeah wiener moby oh i love it that's a good one dude put a wiener on there dude get your wiener out come on joey's got a wiener on his tree i got balls on mine and ant has where both of them go the sex one oh yeah i was like don't talk about that i didn't even think of that dude when's the last time you had a hot dog it's been a minute i mean obviously it's december oh yeah obvious okay so i'm gonna ask last week oh yeah do you count sausage no right because unless they're tallie and hot dogs no no you don't you don't you don't you don't buy that what was the occasion uh sunday got it it was the lord's day and daddy needed a dog let me tell you wow what are you what are you finagling i have to put in another ribbon for my next one oh also oscar meyer those are good dogs oscar meyer nathan's some good dogs the only ornament i bought was the joe as a mermaid the rest of the ones are all these all go on my tree oh my god that's insane okay you put that actual one on your tree that's insane yeah but when sometimes it's in the back of the tree got it okay well my next one might be a little infuriating for some people but why do we confine to the the limits the limits that big christmas puts on what is and what isn't an ornament nay i say an ornament should be something that you want to proudly figure uh uh excuse me proudly and prominently feature on your tree so yes these are all technically ornaments sure but an ornament that i have that will be going on my tree is jeff hardy okay now yeah sure he doesn't have traditional ornament build but it's it's a tree should be representative of its owner and i am i if i am nothing i am a wrestling fan so jeff hardy is going to be going to swanton bomb off the top of my tree frank i know you think this is going to piss me off but i love it really it's jeff hardy oh i didn't think you were going to like it i thought you would for sure be pissed off and be like that's not an ornament no i love jeff hardy the top of the tree in the shot i mean he's got to be on the top he's on the top rope it definitely won't be in the shot but all right so then i'll put him where he's ready to do swanton hey so jeff hardy man that's great i mean that's that's a wwe legend yeah you know king of the swanton right and fishnets yeah and humping the air very aggressively also was the reason why i bought a necklace once and it cut me so i had to take the hardy logo necklace the sharpest thing i've ever had in my life my brother wore it playing basketball and it went through a kid's finger see yeah it was fucking bro did you ever see you were not a big wrestling fan back in the day right not really did you ever see the hardy boys logo probably in passing dude look at me but it's like it's fucked and it's sharp dude look it up and you're gonna see like this was on kids necklaces and this was like die-casted metal so it was like it was hard it was not it was like that dude but the but the edges of it were so sharp dude and it like cut me once and my mom made me take it off yeah dude those things were not that one that wasn't the one we had it was just silver and it was like a beaded low i mean we don't need to fucking pull it up it was like beaded yeah dude it was it was not it definitely looks sharp it is it's not that one but it's like that purple one right just type in the necklace just type it necklace gotcha it was it was it definitely had some edges to it neck lace there you go the first one yeah yeah the thing was sharp as fuck dude it looks pretty rounded in this photo it's not doing it justice killed me it's not doing it justice this one looks sharp this this one yeah it wasn't that one no well that has a beaded necklace too yeah it could have been that well regardless this thing almost killed me but i think my tree wouldn't be who i am and who i feel i am if it didn't have some wrestling on it you're not jeff hardy oh i'm closer to jeff hardy than you are that's ridiculous how is that ridiculous you think you're closer to being jeff hardy than me who do you think has done more whispers in the wind you or me me i've swung time all i do is swanton you've done a 101 at swanton but i would do a lot of poetry and motions with my brothers i that's it that's a matt hardy thing that's me dude you don't know who jeff hardy is don't look at his mugshot you don't know jeff hardy no i didn't say that i was just trying to compare oh i was about to freak out i mean if we're going based off looks sure it's joey twinkie boy but if we're going based off of just general vibe and i'm more of a like a he kind of looks like a like a a vampire he could be if jeff hardy was a vampire i would not be astonished no he wouldn't be able to wear this cross here yeah that's true it would hurt him also it would hurt him of the two of us you are way more likely to wear fishnets than i am i'll give you that i will give you that all right what do you got i have a resin twisted tea bottle cap well obviously yeah i talked about this as well i believe i brought this in just you know some proof that's nice maybe put that one did you make that did you drink the teas yourself no i bought this oh on etsy yep you could have made that you guys are pretty handy around your house i don't know how to do a resins thing yeah have you ever made did you guys have the beer the beer wall like the wall that was just like the cutout boxes i wasn't in a frat like if it's more fratty housey but your life is fracked what are you talking about yeah but i gotta live i can't they didn't give them they didn't give them the letters but they gave them everything else i walked into ann's house one time and there was a contraption that like you pour a giant bottle of fucking jameson yeah i see that like the like the the wheelchair for it right yeah well it's not a wheelchair but like it's like like a hand truck like what yeah yes i hear what you're saying i was gonna say something that probably would have upset people but yeah well that's nice wait did you so you bought that i bought this yes i'm gonna well i well this was i bought this like

thank you thank you frankie comes out it comes out of somewhere joe's like try it um i'll move the sex thing okay no leave the sex one up this one because your tree tells i'm sorry i don't mean to cut you off your tree tells a story so what it is is someone saw a mermaid and was so horned up they drank a bunch of twisted teas and had sex we could tell a better story uh all right my next one i have just a cute raccoon covered in christmas lights because they're cute and he's doing the rock on oh that sucks no it does i hate raccoons don't be a bastard i'm not being a bastard but if i had a gun i'd shoot your tree you hate animals i don't hate animals oh i love a little cereal killery when it comes first of all the only cereal that i'm killing is cinnamon toast crunch second of all let's call up the joke fucking master and tell him his jokes fucking getting someone's down here telling jokes i thought it was quick and witty i thought it was perfect i don't hate animals i hate raccoons because they're little fucking mongers i hate raccoons because they're little fucking mongers i just don't like that you're so chaotic and stupid and ugly frank this is objectively adorable i did see something that you're gonna be pumped about there's research to suggest that raccoons are becoming like slowly more domesticated which means we can have them as pets talk that talk because i'll get one in here you think i won't get one i'm letting you know if you get a raccoon in here i'm putting it in the trash can and it'll be chilling i will lock the trash can and then put it on the stove top and this is where we're getting to serial killer you're a serial killer the only serial that i've killed is apple jacks love that's a great one that was that i mean it is cute hey cute guy covered in lights but if you saw that in real life that exact real thing if you can guarantee that a raccoon doesn't have rabies i'm hugging it get the hell out of here they're just a little it's a little it's literally a little rat so are you how you like that you're not allowed to call hispanic people rats joey that's what your fucking your parole officer told you no more what do you got all right listen i'm sticking with family heirlooms okay i like this tree to be representative of me where i've come from you've said this every round and where i am going and nothing helps me keep a humble happy and optimistic playful approach to life than remembering my first love on this planet and my first love on this planet was barney the dinosaur wow now barney the dinosaur was not only one of my first loves but he's ice skating that's fire and barney the dinosaur i loved him so much did you oh my god it was a big barney guy really big but now that he's being festive and skating yeah makes me love him more and this when i see this it reminds me of being a child being a child humble beginnings life joy you know you don't need materialistic goods in order to to to find happiness true you could just go back to the days of barney the purple dinosaur right barney is a dinosaur from our imagination that's a song and what's more beautiful than that it's good so that's why i put barney on my tree that's a good one i like that a lot you better i can't even be nice without being yelled at it's insane no it's cute i like that one what do you got those balls are staring right at me um i have a little mario kart yeah one and he's waving the checkered flag assuming that he's won i believe hey i have a couple mario kart ones at home too really this one was sent to me it was very nice what was sent to you what mario is it mario it's mario what kart is he on pipe frame pipe frame kart standard standard standard pipe frame kart yep yep you guys know the names of my karts not a lot of weight to that good drifting good drifting but not a lot of weight not a lot of acceleration you need some you need some more you know we know who the meta is birdo well no you want to go with a heavier character from what i believe last time i brought in mario kart and we played i think joe beat you frankie uh i don't even remember that i guarantee though if we were to play again i would i would smoke him i am putting up i would put up a a substantial bet well oh we can the reason why i won it was because of uh it was like you had the cheating rc's on yeah he had the cheating rc's on wait what the like rc tail that you can't fall off the mat yeah i did which i didn't know i don't even know what that is but what the fuck is that like you can't fall off so you can't fall off so you're telling me i think he had it as well though am i bugging i don't know but we definitely didn't tell him you had it and it was funny watching you win oh you got the rc tail i was like what is that so you're judging his victory over me based off of him cheating i wasn't cheating i didn't turn it on if i can quote joey from 2020 stop the steal let's play again and i will absolutely beat him whoop his ass absolutely recount the votes the stars oh that that is a good one do you have any do either you guys have any that like make sounds or like lights or anything on your tree um like in real life or today in real life uh no to both i don't know why i even asked that i don't know that one that i actually uh told you about where it's like the crib or whatever there is a button on the bottom but i feel like it broke like years ago but it used to like sing a song they used to have ones that you could plug into the lights like i remember my mom that was that was like that yeah my mom used to have one of those what about you do you have any that make sounds or lights no no you yes i do i have a couple video game ones like i have a donkey kong cabinet that you press the button and it does

is so you dude this is so you that's a good there's a big joe in here yeah that's that's that's not you it is it is by ratio kind of more joe than him it's true i'm trying to catch up to how much joe this tree you should put it over his face no it's too big yeah put it up here dude can i ask you where did this obsession with the rainforest cafe come from how did that start hmm it's a good question probably circa 2004 circa is crazy dude just tell us that circa uh the animal kingdom and disney we would always eat at the rainforest cafe there's a rainforest cafe there yep i guess that makes a ton of sense still there we go all the time not all the time is there food it's good enough what does that mean the atmosphere is fun the atmosphere is what you go for the animatronic rubber would you ever go to like an actual rainforest does that no no way you just like the cafe i got my fill at the cafe right dude rainforests are terrifying yeah they're very scary i would i'd that would not be fun to go to do you like nature nope so what about it is appealing you love that it's that it's nature adjacent it is by definition absolutely not i also love an outdoor indoor love an outdoor what does that mean an indoor that looks like outdoor oh like a tree inside a restaurant yeah an indoor outdoor dude you would have loved i built a restaurant with my dad once that was based off of a garbage dump you would have loved it it was yeah built a restaurant yeah well my dad used to do that shit all the time now he can't because his knees look like spaghettios his dad worked construction got it but like it seemed like him and his dad hammer nailed this restaurant together no that is exactly what happened you and your dad yes i know there was more people involved of course there were more people but like we did most of it well i'm saying i think there's a construction company no my dad like was like it was a not big crew because if my dad was doing it on the side like basurero basurero it's in is it still there yeah is it still there it's on steinway if anyone right that's the corner right there you've been there i've never been in there oh i've eaten there several times it's good yeah yeah it's good colombian food go and touch the walls my dad and i built that chances are if you touch the walls go and touch the wall you're touching 2005 frank's hands and they were huge dude oh the biggest big hands they were just big fat hands yeah non-dainty right really really meaty hands all right what do you got i got i think you're going to love for star wars that's why i got santa oh stuck in the carbonite and that's pretty cool it's like from from uh return of the jedi and the vampire strikes back you see you know what happens of course you know han solo i love you i know i used to love watching his face like when when it it's like uh melting or whatever yeah i was like oh it's so cool i love when princess leia would like get dressed up in like in return of the jedi and she'd be like yes yeah yeah i remember exactly how she sounded but you know what i'm saying i know so it's it's him if you guys don't know star wars um get to it let me tell you the original trilogy let me tell you don't listen to like fox news talk about it just watch it for yourself i really feel like people who go back and watch stuff like star wars but like i'm gonna watch it in the actual order so that's a real like topic of like contention that i recently went through because miles and i started watching it last year star wars yeah what if you were to show your child yeah little walrus yeah wants to watch star wars daddy show me star wars what is the what is the order at which you're showing them the order in which they came out really i think there is a magic to like oh this is this is a prequel like that adds something you know like there's like callbacks there but you don't get any of that if you just watch it like you're gonna start at like what the attack of the columbus movie sucks by the way phantom menace is the first one canonically actually rogue one um yeah but like what you would start with rogue one that's bananas sorry rogue one is not canonically i i'm so sorry i mean yeah it can't be but like whatever it is it's like that that would be so stupid to do so what a lot of people do and i was thinking this might be the way that i so we started with one and then we went to two and then we went to three what is one phantom menace you did do this so we did that however i think re in revisiting them i thought more about phantom menace because i think re in revisiting them i thought more about it will do what people do is four five i don't know the numbers four is new hope five is empire strikes back and then they do one two three six seven eight nine i would just watch a minute what's the point of doing that because i mean if you watch one two and three it spoils a big part of a big reveal wait so you make all of the original ones prequels no so you watch four and then five and then you go back and watch phantom men four and five are one and two you got to give titles all right new hope yeah but new hope is one is episode four no it's episode four it's the first one that came out this is what i'm saying what's the one that came out with ray seven eight nine got it uh force awakens new uh force awakens last jedi and uh last sky or skywalker who cares not good i don't care but i think it kind of ruins one of the big reveals if you watch one if you do four five six like it resonates better and then i don't know i don't think it ruins anything i mean they they put it out that way so everyone knew going in i mean they didn't put it out that way with the hindsight like they did it and they were just like let's make prequels now yeah i can't grab the ornament i just i'm like i don't know i just okay all right well that's my that's my i feel like that story is too all over the place it's gotten a little out of hand um do i go yeah i go you got your last one yeah my last one and you know i don't know it's nicholas cage again it's just a flat nicholas cage why what is going why do you have several nicholas cage ornaments you know i as i'm staring at it this is actually freaking me out i don't know why i don't even i'm not even a huge nicholas cage fan per se i think if you if you if you like the bird you like the cage you know what i'm saying nope so how and why nicholas cage um i just think it's funny it reminds me of the nickelodeon remember face didn't you have that nicholas cage pillow back in the day that was a gift i did have it what the fuck is happening what is going on with you who gave me that do you have like a spiritual connection to nicholas cage i don't i think joey gatto got that for me dude it was like sequence and you it looked like whatever then you would go like this and then it was nicholas cage what if hear me out and we can make this happen we just did msg what if we got nicholas cage on an episode and he just sits down with us and we give him things to read in his best nicholas cage you mean just his voice like but like he has to give it the full go you know what i mean i'd rather have mikey boobs up here singing what if we got boobs singing to nicholas cage and nicholas cage is just acting out yeah i mean you haven't thought about it i haven't it sounds like you haven't thought about it you haven't thought about it you understand it's in its early infancy it's in its early infancy i'm working it out i'm working it out real time here baby yeah all right it's not it's not you said it's not impractical jokers joe gatto no no my friend joey got it yeah yeah got it i i had that at first too to be honest but joey got us because you know i don't know who he knows he knows everybody no i does he's big he's big he's breaking out you saw he was in like a fashion magazine what him yeah they were gooning over him you're really pushing the goon and no there was like a fashion thing where it was just like look look at joe sanagato i wasn't in it by the way no gooning uh all right my last ornament here again why are we right allowing big christmas to dictate what is and is not an ornament well this is gonna be just who are we okay this thing i don't know if you guys feel this way my trees are supposed to be representative of me we know that we're supposed to be representative of me you know my childlike wonder you said that imagination right joy right humble beginnings more adjectives so that's why my last ornament is a boxed copy of super mario 64 well what are we doing from the nintendo 64 okay i think now we're getting crazy why how now we're getting crazy why is this getting crazy you allowed jeff hardy but but an italian plumber from brooklyn you don't like is he from brooklyn yeah is that true yes well i like that what do you like i like that part this is a relic of the past this was released with the united states version of the nintendo 64 this feels like you just want to tell people you have this i've always publicized that i have this this is not new how much was that well i bought it i bought it several several years ago at a steal because this is not its price now i got it for 44 what is it now you think it's a couple hundred bucks really yeah so you paid 44 for that ornament and you're judging me on mine yeah crazy well his isn't an ornament right and yours is that's the so that's that's wow that's good yep now what happens if that falls down and breaks it's not in mint condition so i'm not really that upset about it it won't be in any condition if it falls down and breaks have you ever have you opened it and played it no i have not it is an open copy though and it's it's not in great condition these are some tears on the edges and stuff like that but it's just cool to yeah it's cool but again when you look at the street you go that's frank baby can we did you just hear that yeah that was that was my fucking throat what did it do i think like bark only i could have heard it that was insane that was fucking crazy i just like but i wanted to say barked but i almost said barfed but i wanted to say roared you should roar i don't know what's going on is it possible to tilt that box like down a little bit i'm getting a lot of reflection here it's very shiny box it's very shiny box that's much better actually okay I think it's, again, when someone looks at my tree, they're going to say, wow, this is someone that is connected to their humble beginnings. You love doing that. Establishes a childlike wonder and maintains it. Right. And is a lover of things. Yeah, that's what they're going to say. What do you got? I think to round off my tree that is so clearly me, it would be remiss to not add a, I have a Picky Boys logo ornament. Oh my God, he's using it as a cheap plug for his podcast. That's fucking absolutely crazy. It's going to be a, it's Christmas themed though. You know, this is, this is, this is a monster. Let me guess, you sell it in a merch store. No, this one's one of one. This is a monster of our own making though. If we had just let him plug his shows one time, this wouldn't have happened. I have to find ways. He left a perfect space in the front of the tree so that it would open. I mean, he knows marketing. Good for you. You know what? Good for you. We'll let you keep it for this episode only, bitch. I think, how much did you, spend on that? Probably about 33 bucks. Bro, this is the most expensive tree. No, I'm kidding. It's like, it's like 12 bucks. I didn't even think of that. Trees are, like, once you like put all the ornaments and lights on them, they're like, they could be like $500 more than that. I mean, I have a fake tree, so it was more than that. How expensive was your fake tree? It was a lot. Really? Yeah. I think, it's a balsam hill. No big deal. No big deal. Spend it if you got it, baby. It's a balsam hill. Spend it. Hey, you're not going to look back and worry about that purchase. A balsam hill? Yeah. Uh-oh. Oh, no. But yeah, I think it was like 800 bucks, which is crazy for a tree. I dropped my game. I know. I got to get it. I don't have a lot of, I guess I have a decent amount of, like, we have a lot of, like, filler ornaments, too. Yep. Yep. It's good. This is the issue with putting a whole box on a tree. I feel like my tree looks beautiful. It does. Yours is covered, man. It's a wonderful tree. Yeah. A little less space to cover, that's why. Yeah. And I got you right in the middle. I appreciate that. I got you. I don't know how I feel about being a mermaid. Don't fuck around. You love the idea of being a mermaid. Oh, in life, I would like to be a mermaid. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But not merman. A shirtless one you're not into. Well, you got to be shirtless. I can't wear a shirt in the pool. In the ocean, I mean. What fucking? Dude, imagine mermaids were real. That'd be fire. What was that movie where that kid slowly- Little Mermaid. You think I forgot The Little Mermaid? What do you think? I was going to say, what was that Disney movie where the kid, like, slowly turned into, or someone slowly turned into a mermaid or something? Oh, yeah. What the fuck is that? Could just be called Mermaids. Splash? Oh, that's it. I remember. That's not a Disney movie, either. That's a Ron Howard movie. That's a full-on movie. That's a full-on movie movie. I thought of L. Ron Hubbard. When you said that, I said, what? I don't watch L. Ron Hubbard movies, Joey. We should probably be careful about bringing their lord's name up. Yeah. Because they'll be upset. Yeah. You know what? That reminded me of, like, the movie that you were just talking about. Remember those, like, weird Disney movies? The one that always stuck out to me was Luck of the Irish. Because you looked like him. I looked like him. You looked like him as a little, as a kid. No, I didn't. Yeah, you did. But he also, his hair just started to get really red. Yeah. Oh, he full-on started turning into. Yeah, that did. Dude, you remember this movie? You were going to tell me you didn't kind of look like this kid. Nah, bro. Come on. Give me a break. You had the frosted tips and everything. Oh, and look at the, I never had frosted tips. I wish. I remember Eddie's Million Dollar Cook-Off. What was the? Smart House. Smart House was a good one. Like, I always remember that scene in that movie where they had a party, and then the floor just, like, sucked up all the garbage, and it was like, oh, it's a clean house now. I was like, damn. That would be nice. What was the one? There was also the one where the girls, the twin sisters play basketball. Have you seen, have you seen? That's why I'm doing that. Have you seen the clip from it that has, like, circulated? No. Because of how bad it was done? No. Dude, it's painful to watch. Is it another thing, like, we hired actors that can't play basketball? Clearly. It's a basketball movie? Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. Yeah, Disney movies had some bangers back in the day. I mean, we were open lovers of high school musicals. We were open lovers of high school musicals and Cheetah Girls, Cheetah Sisters. Cheetah, cheetah. Lizzie McGuire. I want a banger. It's a banger. I didn't say I want a banger. I don't know why that's, like, I felt the need to correct myself. We understood what you were going to say. I want a banger. Like, that's not what I said. She's coming out with new music, by the way, Hilary Duff. Perfect. If Hilary Duff does a Christmas album? Dude, didn't Disney do a Christmas album? They probably did. I'm sure. Look that up. They were working those children. Look up Disney. Look up Disney star Christmas album. I wonder what it could be. Like, it's like Corbin Bleu singing Blue Christmas. That would be incredible now that I said it out loud. I don't know about incredible. I have a blue Christmas. That's my Corbin Bleu impression. Disney 2000's Holidays? No. Disney Channel Holiday hits 2016. A bunch of the stars did a short EP November 18th. I don't care about that. I want to hear, like, the girl from Proud Family doing, you know, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Isn't that Raven-Symoné? No. I forgot her name. Kira? I can't remember. Raven-Symoné was from. That's a Raven. That's a Raven. I thought Raven-Symoné was on that show, too. No. She was on. She was. The Cosby Show. She was Stephanie on the Proud Family. She was on that show as well. Really? Yep. It was animated, though, so there's no way you knew that. It was anamorphic, dude. I knew it. Yeah. Because I remember we'd be watching Disney Channel, and there'd be, like, those, like, Christmas, like. The commercials would be, like, them singing a Christmas song. Yeah. But it would be, like, selling a CD or something. Yeah. Good times. Kids, Bob, dude. Who are these kids? I don't know. I have. Can I just really quick say something? My tree's the best. I know it's not a competition, but with you guys, it always is. I feel like mine is not good. Like, there's a lot of Nicholas kids. I mean, two is a lot. Two is a lot. If we're being honest. This is cute. This is the cutest we have everywhere. Ah, the Barney one might be cuter. Again! Oh, well, that's the problem. See, if you don't follow the rules, there's consequences, Frank. I don't want to be this guy. My tree blue. Size, good things come in small packages, is what I proved here today. Your tree blue? You guys out of the water. Oh. I don't know about all that. Oh. I think that you could have possibly. It's like, you got it there, which is a different holiday. Yeah, that's true. I think that you have a good tree. It's a good tree. It's nowhere near the quality of mine. Frank barely followed the rules. I thought he was going to pull out, like, food or something and put it on there. You know what's funny? Like an actual pickle. Is I was on the drive-in looking for a hot dog stand, and I was going to bring a full actual hot dog. That wouldn't have lasted. That wouldn't have lasted on your tree. Yeah, it would have. No, I would have walked over and ate it. Oh, really? Yeah. That would have been yummy. Well, there you have it, folks. It's a very Merry Christmas. The Christmas season is officially here. Wanted to decorate our trees, because the trees are staying for December. All right? So, thank you so much to everyone, you know, this year. We're feeling very thankful and grateful, but it's the Christmas season. Trying to get some joyous memories. With your families. All right? Oh, I actually do have one more for you, if you want. What is that? Here, it's for you. I already, I saw what it was in the air. What is it? It's a, you know that meme with the guy with the giant dick? That's what it is. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh. You can't show that. Well, here it is. Why, why did you have that, like, you spent money on that, too, didn't you? Yeah. That was 12 bucks. Well, now, Joey's has a lot of phallic imagery, by the way. The Cheeto, the hot dog. At this point, I'll take anything that is a Nicolas Cage. You got it. If anything could be more of the opposite of Nicolas Cage, it's that. I also, I have one more thing, if I could. What's going on? You sneaky, sneaky ornament guys. Oh, got it. Okay. All right. All right. Well. And a very Merry Christmas. And a very Merry Christmas to you guys, too. And holidays. Happy holidays. They almost got me just now. You got to throw the holidays in. You got him. So good. So good. So good. I've been gotten.
