• 5:57
  SPEAKER_03: So, for those of you who are just joining us the first time or returning listeners, this is how it goes down.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: The first part of the show starts with a philosophical debate, a moral question, or just a fun little what if.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and then it devolves into a fist fight, as those things often do.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_03: But what sets us apart and makes us so different and special is that before we do any of that, first we got to get a little drunk and we gotta get a little high.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_03: So, James, what are you smoking this week?
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_03: You said you had something special that you're bringing to the table.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_00: That's true.

  SPEAKER_00: Um, and this one is called black cherry soda.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited.

  SPEAKER_02: Such generous gods.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: That's what we always, you know.

  SPEAKER_00: We uh we've kind of explored some of the concepts of what we would be like if we were like immortal beings, like uh and and like if we had power.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_00: We would not be great gods, I don't think.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: One of us would be overly indifferent and the other would be overly involved, and it would be terrible.
• 7:32
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: But we'd be the worst gods.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but I think though, I I I would like at least the kind if I as a worshipper, I would like us as gods, you know, because at no point we're like, hey guys, we never said we were perfect.
• 7:47
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_03: We were we're not infallible.

• 16:10
  SPEAKER_00: That's perfect.
• 16:11

• 17:33
  SPEAKER_00: You're the god of change.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, I'd be the god of change.
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_00: And it'd be positive and negative changes.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, positive and negative change, but like something's gonna change.
• 17:41
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, so if you're stay set in your ways, that you're not gonna have a good time.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, and I'd have my followers come and they have to, you know, they have to take shots, you know, every every every Sunday morning or taking shots.
• 17:55
  SPEAKER_03: Because if they if they if they aren't having a good time, then you know I'm gonna your change is gonna come and it's not gonna be what you're looking for.

• 18:18
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_03: No, it's just that like so you'll have a a child, uh, you know, when he reaches seven, you know, it's gonna be his first funnel.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 18:29
  SPEAKER_03: And the priest just starts pouring.
• 18:31
  SPEAKER_03: Um, yeah.

  SPEAKER_03: So I so I guess I'd be a uh like a chaotic uh Dionysus, I suppose.
• 18:38
  SPEAKER_03: Um you know, that's that's what I'd I'd do.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: I I I think I'd uh I think of you more like a uh uh a series or someone like classically they like represent seasonal change.
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: And I think you are like life uh life change.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.

• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: Boom.
• 19:08
  SPEAKER_00: If I have a good time, boom, you're up to three legs.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_02: Later.
• 19:21
  SPEAKER_02: Someone turned all the water to whiskey.
• 19:23
  SPEAKER_02: You're welcome.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_00: They all are drunk until they die from dehydration.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_03: Like, you know what?
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_03: I I led you guys to water, but you didn't party.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: So uh yeah, no, it'd be a good time.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_03: It'd be a good time.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_03: Uh but again on the other side, just listening to this, I think everyone except uh I mean, no, I thought mine I think it would just be a nightmare having me bounce around.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, for sure.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_03: Um well uh well Nate, uh some final thoughts.
• 19:53
  SPEAKER_03: Uh you as you as a deity, as a god.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_03: What's the world like?
• 19:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, not not much different because I'd I'd be one of the you know, God helps those who helps themselves.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_02: Um I'd I'd not get involved.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_02: I'd I'd be on my like sofa.
• 20:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um you relax those who relax themselves.
• 20:13
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 20:14
  SPEAKER_02: Chill, man.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_02: I'd be like the real god if they were.
• 20:23
  SPEAKER_00: Just stop existing.
• 20:26
  SPEAKER_00: Man, let's just chill.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_03: Or like uh the big Lebowski just cruising around as a god.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 20:33
  SPEAKER_00: I think I'm gonna unplug my phone for like 2,000 years.
• 20:38
  SPEAKER_03: I really just need to recharge and you know.
• 20:42
  SPEAKER_03: Good luck, y'all.
• 20:44
  SPEAKER_03: And then I teleport in.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: Hey everybody, big change is happening.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_03: It's gonna be a dark 2,000 years.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: Careful what you ask for.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_03: Uh James, what about your final thoughts?
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, I think this was a great question.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think that this kind of follows uh the uh the story we ex where we explored what kind of gods we would be.
• 21:05
  SPEAKER_00: I think that matches up really well.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: I think I don't think we've changed that much since then.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_03: Nope, not at all.
• 21:11
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, all right, cool.
• 21:13
  SPEAKER_03: Now we got that figured out.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_03: So we got that figured out.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_03: It's time to move into the second portion of today's podcast.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but before we do that, and before we get into it, we gotta get a little more drunk and we gotta get a little more high.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_00: All right, let's do it.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_03: Oh boy.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: This might be a quick episode today.
• 21:30
  SPEAKER_00: We're we're we we blew through that one.
• 21:32
  SPEAKER_00: That one was a lot of fun, though.
• 21:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was a lot of fun.
• 21:34
  SPEAKER_00: We didn't have to bicker over semantics.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so nice.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, there we go.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_02: The positive change is happening already.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, look at that.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_00: You're doing great, everybody.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_00: Ryan, do something, please.
• 21:51
  SPEAKER_00: All water is whisk.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_00: Nate, continue taking a seat.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_03: So, what it would be like.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_03: So, you know, so I'm saying I'm for some reason I keep coming back to like this little Viking village, you know, in the 12th century.
• 22:07
  SPEAKER_03: The three of us show up there to see what happens, and you know, Nate he just kind of finds a good place to sit down.
• 22:15
  SPEAKER_03: And see how this plays out.
• 22:17
  SPEAKER_03: I start uh really just fucking up the works.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_03: And you know what?
• 22:21
  SPEAKER_03: The water coming in today, it's gonna, I don't know, it's gonna be a tidal wave and it's just gonna change your entire culture.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_03: And James is just like, hey guys, you're gonna make it through this.
• 22:33
  SPEAKER_00: It's all right, you know?
• 22:34
  SPEAKER_00: As long as you support each other and work together.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: You'll make it.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_02: You're starting from the bottom.
• 22:40
  SPEAKER_02: There's only one more way to go.
• 22:45
  SPEAKER_03: Just like, oh, I hate these guys.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_03: And then they just kind of look off to Nate over there, like, can you please?
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_03: Like, yeah, can you do something?
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you I would, but I've already sat down.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_03: Or just uh so like the the the tidal wave of vodka just flowed through, and then James is like, hey, you know what?
• 23:07
  SPEAKER_03: As long as you guys just lean on each other, it's gonna be all right.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know which one of them I hate more, to be honest with you.
• 23:15
  SPEAKER_03: All right, so it's time for that third shot.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_03: This one goes fourth shot.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_03: This one goes out to our combatants today.
• 23:21
  SPEAKER_03: It is Kevin McAllister of Home Alone versus the Krampus of Eastern European lore.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_03: Here's to the you.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_03: Cheers.
• 23:30
  SPEAKER_00: Cheers.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: So I think the first thing we need to consider and Nate, maybe you can help us with this.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: What are the racial uh pros and cons of the Scottish?
• 23:44
  SPEAKER_00: Because of McAllister.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um I'm just kidding, though.
• 23:56
  SPEAKER_00: You don't have to be racist towards Scottish people.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_00: That was just a joke.
• 24:00
  SPEAKER_00: I don't need to.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: They do that to themselves.
• 24:03
  SPEAKER_00: Every stereotype you've heard, it's true.
• 24:05
  SPEAKER_00: Whatever those happen to be.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: They're all throwing logs.
• 24:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, we know Kevin McAllister will be able to hurl a log at him.
• 24:14
  SPEAKER_03: Doesn't come up a lot in the movie, though.
• 24:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, curling was invented by Scottish people, right?
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_00: He can curl really well.
• 24:20
  SPEAKER_00: Was it curling?
• 24:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think curling was invented by Scots.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_00: I have no idea.
• 24:25
  SPEAKER_03: I'm the only one who likes curling in the world, so I love uh when they'll take pictures of uh the like the Olympic curling team.
• 24:34
  SPEAKER_00: And they're all just kind of like looking.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_03: Or or uh one guy he said uh every curling picture I've ever seen just looks like a bunch of dads who uh like got out for the weekend away from their wives and wound up at the Olympics.
• 24:47
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, kind of to do all them like obscure Olympic sports, sort of like curling, uh a pole vault and stuff like that.
• 24:55
  SPEAKER_02: There's no way that you go out and like learn, oh, I'm gonna go to like pole vaulting club.
• 25:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I know of not a single place where you can go crack.
• 25:04
  SPEAKER_02: I think they just round up whoever's about and just like Yeah.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_00: When we so when we were in high school, like I was on the track team, uh we were like a we were in a fairly wealthy community in our teens, and they totally had pole vaulting.
• 25:21
  SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_00: And they totally had a place for pole vaulting.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's wealthy people.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's just rich people then.
• 25:27
  SPEAKER_00: Maybe it's rich people who can afford healthcare.
• 25:29
  SPEAKER_03: Well, yeah, I mean, it's like every person you see who gets uh skiing in the Olympic Games.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_03: It's like you you have to like I mean, think about that.
• 25:36
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, every to get to that point, you have to practice all the time, which means first all the equipment for it, all the fees at the resorts, and I mean that is not a cheap sport, you know.
• 25:47
  SPEAKER_03: Uh you don't see a lot of inner city skiers.
• 25:50
  SPEAKER_03: You know, it just doesn't work.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_03: But what the fuck were we talking about?
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_00: We were talking about how the rich cut off access to certain things through the cost of healthcare and you know.
• 26:03
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
• 26:04
  SPEAKER_03: No, and if if all of a sudden well, I mean, and they can't because if all of a sudden you opened made skiing accessible, you're gonna find all the you know the goats, greatest of all times out there, and they probably weren't born in Aspen.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_03: Right.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 26:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um well so anyway, so shut the door behind you, is what we're saying.
• 26:23
  SPEAKER_00: Always make sure that when you when something cool comes your way, you shut the door behind you so that that thing remains yours and only yours.
• 26:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 26:33
  SPEAKER_03: All right, so Kevin McAllister, the Krampus, how we do this is a three-round method guaranteed to get you accurate results that are completely indisputable.
• 26:43
  SPEAKER_03: Can't dispute them.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_03: Can't.
• 26:44
  SPEAKER_03: And uh it starts with round one, where these characters enter into a legally distinct fight club bar at the bottom of an Applebee's, um, and they are brought into the fight by legally an actual Applebee's a legally distinct uh Tyler Durden played by Val Kilmer.
• 27:01
  SPEAKER_03: And uh these two characters just fight it out, punch for punch, blow for blow.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_03: We just measure up their wingspans and see who would win.
• 27:08
  SPEAKER_03: This little boy versus a giant beast.
• 27:13
  SPEAKER_03: Round two, it zooms out into a city view where the characters now have 24 hours to prepare for the other one.
• 27:20
  SPEAKER_03: And then round three is the same as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 27:25
  SPEAKER_03: So moving into round one, we've just entered into the legally distinct fight club in the bottom of an applebees.
• 27:30
  SPEAKER_03: Um the Timeless Sandworms have brought Cher and Carl Urban into the box seats, followed, of course, by the high-and-dry philosophers.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_00: The Timeless Sandworms really lost their edge for me because Dune was so disappointing.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: They should have just done the fourth book.
• 27:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_03: But and um we're now have taking our seats and we're ready to get it on.
• 27:50
  SPEAKER_03: Val Kilmer's explaining the rules, and it's time to fight.
• 27:53
  SPEAKER_03: So, round one, McAllister, Krampus, pound for pound, punch for punch.
• 27:59
  SPEAKER_03: So, like 70 pounds against 500.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, here we go.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_03: Nate, what happens?
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_02: I I can't even think of like something that could happen apart from Krampus absolutely destroying it.
• 28:13
  SPEAKER_02: Because he is at the end of the day, he's just a child.
• 28:16
  SPEAKER_02: He's got no no powers, no there's no background or anything that can save him.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_02: There's no kind of plot armor.
• 28:25
  SPEAKER_02: He's a white-rich kid, so he has a white-rich kid.
• 28:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, but um, but yeah, the the the only thing I can think of is Krampus is not actually a killer.
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_02: Um he's more there to scare, but I I just think that you know they're there to fight, and this is because at the at the end of the outcome.
• 28:48
  SPEAKER_03: Um, both characters are aware that if they don't kill each other, Cher will kill them.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_00: So self-preservation takes over at that point.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_00: Neither of them are good.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 28:58
  SPEAKER_02: Krampus doesn't believe in life after love, so he just goes all out.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_02: And yeah, you destroy Kevin.
• 29:05
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 29:06
  SPEAKER_02: Uh James.
• 29:07
  SPEAKER_00: Well, okay, so let's think about let's let's explore it a little more deeply.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: Do either of them have like special experience or theme in fighting the other one?
• 29:18
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 29:20
  SPEAKER_00: And and which one is that?
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Krampus.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: Krampus is is special, his whole thing is is fighting children?
• 29:26
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for like a thousand years now.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_03: He just, yeah.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_00: This is a tough one.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_00: I think I'm gonna go Krampus.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I'm I'm gonna I I think this one will be so brutal that even Cher is like, Jesus Christ.
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_03: It's like bits of Kevin fly up into the box.
• 29:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, oh god.
• 29:45
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 29:46
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 29:47
  SPEAKER_03: Um my eyes were bigger than my stomach on this one.
• 29:51
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I'm I'm gonna have to go with the Krampus.
• 29:53
  SPEAKER_03: So congratulations, Mr.
• 29:55
  SPEAKER_03: Krampus.
• 29:56
  SPEAKER_03: We are now transferring into round two.
• 29:58
  SPEAKER_03: We've zoomed out into the city view, um, where these two characters they're in an area that's familiar to them both, and they have 24 hours to murder each other.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_00: It's the McAllister house.
• 30:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, Kevin was being bad, and here comes the Krampus.
• 30:14
  SPEAKER_03: Kevin knows he's coming, they're aware of each other, they're ready to see shit happen.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_00: This is a great now.
• 30:20
  SPEAKER_00: This is what I was waiting for.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_00: First round.
• 30:22
  SPEAKER_00: This is a movie I'd see.
• 30:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, this is a movie.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 30:25
  SPEAKER_03: Alright.
• 30:26
  SPEAKER_02: So uh uh, Nate, what do you think happens?
• 30:28
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so so Krampus wouldn't do anything to prepare, he would just go to Kevin's house.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 30:34
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_02: Kevin, you know, he would set up his traps, he'd he'd he'd make his house of doom.
• 30:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um probably a horror house.
• 30:43
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, really he'd probably go a bit harder than just two bumbling criminals, you know, if he's got this entity that he knows is coming.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um even some of the some of his traps are pretty brutal in in the film.
• 30:57
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, you know, if you you get hit in the face with a paint can, you're not getting back up in the race.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_03: Well you just think about uh just Kevin's fucking his he's so spoiled in all aspects, from the house to I mean, he's in uh Chicago suburb, yeah, and those are the criminals he gets.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 31:18
  SPEAKER_03: Like, holy shit, man.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_03: He he everything is just easy for this kid.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_03: You know, even a home invasion.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_03: But we'll continue, continue.
• 31:28
  SPEAKER_02: But yeah, I think, yeah, so Krampus is gonna get annoyed, he's gonna be stepping on nails, he's gonna be grabbing he's gonna be grabbing hot bloody doorknobs.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_02: Uh that's right.
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: He's gonna get his head on fire.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 31:44
  SPEAKER_02: But I don't know if it would be enough.
• 31:46
  SPEAKER_02: I th no, I do you know what?
• 31:50
  SPEAKER_02: I think I think Kevin would take it.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_02: Um I think it would be enough.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_02: Because he's not Krambus isn't kind of overly, you know, he's not how can I say he's you know, he's not indestructible, he's not an immortal sort of beast.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_02: He is he is a beast, you know it, but um, and I think that he's just gonna get sick of going through all this shit when he's got probably like thousands of other children that he needs to take care of.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 32:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um and basically, yeah, and it like I say his job is just to scare them, not to kind of kill them.
• 32:23
  SPEAKER_02: So, you know, you'll have that kind of impulse not to kill.
• 32:26
  SPEAKER_02: Um I think I think that uh wait, have they got have they got to kill each other?
• 32:31
  SPEAKER_02: Because I think Krampus is just gonna like nope out of there.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_03: Uh yeah.
• 32:34
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, but that's a good point.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_03: No, but I mean that one of them has to die, or at least be completely incapacitated.
• 32:42
  SPEAKER_00: Does the myth of Krampus not involve killing the children?
• 32:45
  SPEAKER_00: I thought he ate them.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_00: There's part two like he'll put you in a sack and take you away.
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: But where?
• 32:50
  SPEAKER_00: What does he do with you?
• 32:51
  SPEAKER_00: Did they not talk about it?
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's just I thought he just gave hang on.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_02: Because I I read it up I read up on it before I came on because I didn't know much about I just knew him from the film.
• 33:02
  SPEAKER_02: Um but yeah, he's basically he helps Santa and instead of giving good gifts, he gives um uh badly behaved ones, only receive punishment from Krampus with birch rods.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, he beats the shit out of them with birds.
• 33:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he beats you with a branch of birch.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but he then hauls the bad kids down to the underworld.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, does he?
• 33:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_03: Well, so that was so it seems like there is much wider mythology on Krampus, and some of it uh uh contradicts other well, so Krampus' name very Biblish derived from the German word Krampen, meaning claw, and is said to be the son of hell in Norse mythology.
• 33:48
  SPEAKER_03: Um the legendary beast also shares characteristics with other scary demonic creatures in Greek mythology, including the satyrs and the fawns.
• 33:56
  SPEAKER_03: Um he's uh you know, centuries-old German folklore here.
• 34:02
  SPEAKER_03: And uh I mean this is Natural National Geographic.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_03: They're just talking about him um saying he'll drag you to the underworld and National Geographic.
• 34:11
  SPEAKER_03: And he'll beat your ass with birch and thanks, Rupert Murdoch.
• 34:15
  SPEAKER_03: But he can also be he can be imprisoned under a pot of iron, an iron pot.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I don't know why you'd have that.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_03: You know, just this big iron pot.
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_03: I was watching the show and they capture the Krampus, and the Krampus goes, Why do you have this?
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_03: Are you cooking for prospects?
• 34:37
  SPEAKER_00: Interesting.
• 34:38
  SPEAKER_03: So uh uh like because if if if there's a big iron pot in that fucking house, then Kevin can definitely turn that into a trap.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_03: Probably.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_02: But would he know you know look at the size of the family they've got feed?
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_02: I mean they're just cooking in a big iron pot.
• 34:52
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's rich pot is probably just like when they make their cereal or something.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_00: Rich white women also love antiques.
• 35:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 35:01
  SPEAKER_00: So there would be there would be a big iron pot in there.
• 35:04
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you'd find sure.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_03: I like I so for me, I just I do see a scenario where you know you you got like the frozen steps and Krampus passes over them like the winter ghost he is.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_03: Um he's Kevin starts that TV show, the the that's a fake movie, isn't it?
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_00: Uh yeah, it's a fake movie.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_00: It's not a real movie.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_03: Where he's like, yeah, you filthy animal, and he opens fire, and Krampus is indifferent, and he bursts through the door.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_03: Why use the knob?
• 35:34
  SPEAKER_03: He's an 800-pound gorilla thing.
• 35:37
  SPEAKER_00: I don't I don't think that's how this would play out, though.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's got an ass to beat with Birch.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_00: Krampus, yeah, but Krampus Krampus isn't shown as like an unrelenting force in the mythology.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_00: He's just like a someone who goes around and does this to bad children.
• 35:53
  SPEAKER_00: He sees a million bad children a day, and none of them put up a fight.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_00: He's not ready for one that button.
• 36:00
  SPEAKER_00: He's not ready, he's never had to be a combatant against a child.
• 36:04
  SPEAKER_00: Well, have you guys ever seen Krampus?
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_00: The movie?
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yes, I've seen the film, but that's a lot of ability.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_00: It seems to deviate wildly from it seems to be a horror movie that was that deviates wildly from the method.
• 36:18
  SPEAKER_00: I think I'm gonna watch that tonight.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_03: I loved uh what was the uh the the actress's name in there that she played like the grandmother character.
• 36:26
  SPEAKER_03: I have no idea.
• 36:27
  SPEAKER_03: But she just has this one line where she uh says uh honey, when you've been around as long as I have, you you know when life's coming at you with its pants down.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_03: Like, oh, that's a grandma.
• 36:40
  SPEAKER_03: Well, uh so then I guess then it's time for a vote.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Nathan, final thoughts on a vote.
• 36:44
  SPEAKER_03: Round two.
• 36:45
  SPEAKER_02: This is really hard, actually, because I know I I really I think I really want to vote for Kevin.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_02: Um he's a master planner.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_02: I'm trying to justify it.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_00: He he he has a he's a master planner, and Krampus just comes in.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I think Krampus is gonna fall into an iron pot.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_02: He's gonna be tarred and feathered.
• 37:06
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, and he's just gonna be trapped there.
• 37:09
  SPEAKER_03: Dude, they didn't go into that.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_03: Um, when someone gets tarred and feathered, you usually rip off a lot of skin.
• 37:14
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, for sure.
• 37:15
  SPEAKER_03: Joe Pesci was fine, like it was just like, oh, that was tarred and feathered, it happens all the time.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_00: Tarred and feathering has been a joke, like played off as a joke for a long time, but that was like some serious shit.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_03: But anyway, uh James.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right where like what the fuck?
• 37:33
  SPEAKER_03: Um rich people.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_03: They're but they were probably like, in case we have to tar and feather a poor person, I need to keep this in the garage.
• 37:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_02: James is sat there now thinking, oh god, I've just bought like a vat of tar.
• 37:49
  SPEAKER_03: As soon as you make over a certain amount per year, you just buy some target.
• 37:52
  SPEAKER_00: You just get tar shipped to you, they give it to you for free.
• 37:56
  SPEAKER_02: Sometimes it comes out of poor people's taxes.
• 37:59
  SPEAKER_00: We give the rich tar.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_03: Hey man, welcome to the club.
• 38:04
  SPEAKER_00: You know what's fucked up is like this life-changing amount of salary that I got is like puts me in like middle class.
• 38:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_00: That's fucking crazy.
• 38:13
  SPEAKER_00: For sure.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we've been low class for so fucking long.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_03: I know.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_03: As soon as you l step out of it, it's like, Jesus Christ.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_00: It's like that's that's that's the difference.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_00: Like right there, there's like this amazing difference immediately.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_00: It's fucking crazy.
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_00: That's gotta that's gotta stop.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I was talking to the uh I was talking to the wife the other day, and because she's she's always concerned about money.
• 38:31
  SPEAKER_03: She's like, I mean, because she c she comes from a you know, like all of us here, she comes from a place where you struggle.
• 38:37
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and so she's always in like a struggle mindset.
• 38:40
  SPEAKER_03: And I'm like, hey, you realize that with our salaries combined, we're pulling in about$90,000 a year.
• 38:47
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and just like calm down, we're fine.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_03: Everything's gonna be all right, you know?
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and but it's like we're all so used to fucking struggling.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_03: You know, that you don't even recognize when you can take a breather for a minute.
• 38:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 39:00
  SPEAKER_03: It's pretty crazy.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um uh but anyway, uh what uh votes, votes.
• 39:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I vote for uh I think in this one, Kevin McAllister, he's a master planner, and he planned with the information available to him in like the early 90s or mid-90s or whenever that happened.
• 39:21
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_00: Uh nowadays, if they were to fight, Kevin has like the internet to look up shit on Krampus.
• 39:29
  SPEAKER_03: Um but I mean, we saw what leaving the 90s did to Macaulay Culkin.
• 39:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um he's got a lot.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he he's really got some fighting spirit in.
• 39:40
  SPEAKER_03: I heard he cleaned up and he's I I I think he's got something coming out.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_00: But he lot he dated and uh lost Mila Kunis.
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 39:49
  SPEAKER_00: It's Ashton Kutcher.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_03: All right.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_03: I don't mean anything by that.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's just just that's what happened.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_00: He's just an emotionless void that has a human skin wrapping.
• 40:00
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:01
  SPEAKER_00: Is what I meant to is that's not saying anything about Ashton Kutcher specifically.
• 40:05
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 40:06
  SPEAKER_00: We're not looking for another feud.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think we could take on Ashton Kutcher.
• 40:11
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, he's gonna be.
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_00: Things would happen to us and he'd just be like, Pump, motherfucker, he'd just jump out of somewhere.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_00: He's the worst.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_00: I fucking hate Ashton Kusher.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_00: Fine, fuck it.
• 40:23
  SPEAKER_00: Let's have a feud.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_03: Um, and then for me, uh I don't know.
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_03: I just uh I it's hard for me to get around just him like, yeah, he could take on Joe Pesci being an asshole, but yeah, can he take on this mythical 500-pound being busted in with chains and birch and a fucking bag to drag him to the underworld?
• 40:45
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think he I think uh McAllister rises to the occasion.
• 40:49
  unknown: Okay.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_00: I think that that's the thing, is all he had to do was rise to some burglars, so that was the extent of his rising to the occasion.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, well, well, there you have it, folks.
• 40:59
  SPEAKER_03: It goes to Macaulay Culkin, Kevin McAllister, round two.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_03: Congratulations, Mr.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_03: Culkin.
• 41:06
  SPEAKER_03: Um, moving into round three, it's the same thing as round two, except this time they get to bring a friend.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_03: So, Nate, who are they bringing?
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_03: What happens, what goes down?
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_03: Take us there.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_02: So Crumpus, uh, I think so.
• 41:23
  SPEAKER_02: These are both quite loners.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you know, he's home alone, not home with friends.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_02: Um I would say crumpus brings uh Father Christmas.
• 41:35
  SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_03: Um or Santa.
• 41:37
  SPEAKER_02: As Crumpus does kind of work with him.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:40
  SPEAKER_02: They're part of their that's their network.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, he's kind of like they're kind of like the ego and the id of Christmas.
• 41:46
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 41:47
  SPEAKER_00: If you say who I think you're gonna say for Kevin, I'm gonna be pretty pissed off at you.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so again, you motherfucker.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, um, yeah, Michael Jackson.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_02: They were like very good friends.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_00: No, that wasn't that wasn't what I was thinking, actually.
• 42:10
  SPEAKER_03: But that's pretty good.
• 42:11
  SPEAKER_03: That's a solid poll.
• 42:12
  SPEAKER_03: Solid poll.
• 42:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 42:14
  SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, it'd be it'd be Kevin McAllister and MJ versus uh Santa and uh Krampus.
• 42:21
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I think that would just fuel Krampus.
• 42:23
  SPEAKER_03: He's got a couple bad boys in there to take to the underworld.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_02: And I think, yeah, I I think that uh with Santa's help, Krampus would would win this.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_02: Because you know, Santa, they they kind of flank him.
• 42:38
  SPEAKER_02: Santa would go to the roof, Krampus would go through the front door.
• 42:42
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, coming in high.
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it it's both on the naughty list.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_03: For for as long as sides have warred, um, well, as soon as it became possible, if you have an air force, you're gonna win.
• 42:53
  SPEAKER_03: You know, and Santa is now the Krampus' Air Force.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_03: You know, he can just do so much, you know, strategically.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you know, he's Santa can fly too.
• 43:03
  SPEAKER_03: He's got no that's what I'm saying.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_03: He's Santa's coming in on the sled while Krampus is this hulking ground force.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 43:10
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, you got the vanguard, and then Santa's pulling up on the top, just like dropping, you know, presence.
• 43:15
  SPEAKER_03: Presence.
• 43:19
  SPEAKER_03: I think that's a tough thing to beat.
• 43:20
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but uh James, what do you think?
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_03: Who's the who's everyone bringing?
• 43:23
  SPEAKER_03: What happened?
• 43:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I Santa's a great choice for Krampus.
• 43:28
  SPEAKER_00: I think Krampus could also maybe choose like um Do you guys do y'all remember that really terrible Jack Frost uh horror movie?
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 43:38
  SPEAKER_00: With with the snowman who's evil.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_00: Uh he could bring him.
• 43:44
  SPEAKER_00: Uh he could bring uh I don't know.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_00: There's not are there a lot of Christmas horrors?
• 43:51
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, it it's a newer sort of genre that they started playing with in like 2010.
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_03: Um I mean you had a whole like Santa was evil in one of them.
• 43:59
  SPEAKER_03: And then there's there's a fun kind of it's becoming a trope um where you start to learn that Krampus is actually the good one of the two.
• 44:08
  SPEAKER_03: Because Santa just comes in and spoils you, and he's in bed with Big Toy.
• 44:13
  SPEAKER_03: And Krampus, he can't.
• 44:17
  SPEAKER_00: We've we've hit a real cycle of like, okay, so first first we're gonna flip this myth, we're gonna make it horror, and then we're gonna flip it on its head, and then we're gonna turn the character indifferent.
• 44:29
  SPEAKER_00: And I that's what we're gonna see next is the the indifference of Krampus.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_00: Uh uh, I think this is really common.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_00: I think that that our our culture of media has kind of hit this cycle.
• 44:41
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, they've kind of found out like, oh, this is how you get people, keep people interested in a thing over several iterations.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_00: Where they've found like a pattern.
• 44:48
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 44:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um what was I gonna say?
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_00: Kevin McAllister, uh, I think he brings um a fascist with him.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, because I don't know if y'all remember this.
• 45:01
  SPEAKER_03: Kevin McAllister and Hitler.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_00: Well, he's got Donald Trump.
• 45:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know if you remember Home Alone 2.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_00: Home Alone 2.
• 45:09
  SPEAKER_00: Oh shit.
• 45:11
  SPEAKER_00: He has a fascist leader.
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_03: God.
• 45:14
  SPEAKER_03: See, and and in that in that scene, uh, Kevin McAllister had no idea that Trump was going upstairs to sleep with someone as old as Kevin McAllister.
• 45:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, right.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_00: But but he has a little girbbles now.
• 45:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:29
  SPEAKER_00: Uh a mastermind, uh, quote unquote.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_00: Someone someone who's just an expert in their field of like fucking, I guess it's more like, yeah, I don't know.
• 45:39
  SPEAKER_03: Well, I think that might actually work against Kevin because all of a sudden that's bankrupt.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_00: Krampus gets like the a raging hate boner for Donald Trump, and he's like, ah yes.
• 45:50
  unknown: Finally.
• 45:52
  SPEAKER_02: Donald Trump is just tweeting constantly about how shit Krampus makes really affecting self-esteem.
• 46:00
  SPEAKER_00: And and then Santa's like, yeah, we gotta take this fucker down.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_02: Make Christmas great again, hats everywhere.
• 46:10
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no, I know.
• 46:11
  SPEAKER_03: I see, and like just uh so you see Kevin, Trump have teamed up, they're turning Christmas into just a nightmare, and you see Krampus and Santa Claus, you know, walk up to each other and do that like strong handshake like from the Predator.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_03: You son of a bitch.
• 46:29
  SPEAKER_03: And then they go on a hunting spree.
• 46:31
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 46:33
  SPEAKER_03: Time to kill some ho ho ho's.
• 46:38
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think Kevin would get a lot of really good, like with Donald Trump's money, like Kevin was already rich, but he now he has Donald Trump's like infinite debt, which is essentially what it is.
• 46:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 46:50
  SPEAKER_00: Uh Donald Trump has enough celebrity to have infinite debt, and uh he can get whatever he wants to fight him.
• 46:56
  SPEAKER_00: I think there would be some very funny things that happen.
• 46:59
  SPEAKER_00: I think Kevin would come up with some ridiculous, uh almost cartoonishly uh holiday themed weapons and turn into Richie Rich.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he yeah, essentially he'd be Richie Rich, who is like a Donald Trump.
• 47:13
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 47:14
  SPEAKER_03: They used to try and make us root for that little ass.
• 47:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, what the fuck?
• 47:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um I really liked that the Mount that Mount Rushmore got destroyed in that one, though.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 47:23
  SPEAKER_00: That was pretty good.
• 47:24
  SPEAKER_00: I'm all for it.
• 47:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um But uh I think that in the end, obviously Santa and Krampus win.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 47:31
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, alright.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_03: Uh Nate, where did you vote?
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_02: Um, Santa and Krampus.
• 47:38
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I did too.
• 47:39
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 47:39
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I feel like I'm just all over the place.
• 47:42
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, I feel like you Yeah, no, I I think it was yeah, the uh, you know, it was pretty much pretty well out there.
• 47:49
  SPEAKER_03: Um what I think's gonna happen, I think uh yeah, Santa and Krampus are gonna team up.
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_03: And even if he doesn't bring Santa, he's gonna bring, you know, one of his Norse god relatives.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_00: Or the snowman.
• 47:59
  SPEAKER_03: Or the yeah, or the snowman.
• 48:00
  SPEAKER_03: Whoever.
• 48:03
  SPEAKER_03: Um and they're just gonna rain hell.
• 48:06
  SPEAKER_03: Um the the only thing I was gonna say, I thought for a second that uh uh McAllister might bring the shovel man.
• 48:13
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, from Mystery Man?
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_03: No, oh no.
• 48:15
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, the from from the first thing.
• 48:17
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, from the first film.
• 48:18
  SPEAKER_03: Like the guy he thought he thought was the bad bad.
• 48:22
  SPEAKER_00: He's just some guy.
• 48:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, he's just some guy.
• 48:25
  SPEAKER_03: Um yeah, I wonder if that like translates into he could bring the shoveler.
• 48:29
  SPEAKER_02: Um, you could bring the the um the crazy bird lady from the second film, and she could like throw the bird seat at Krampus and all the pigeons would fly at him, but they do absolutely fuck all through shit.
• 48:41
  SPEAKER_00: A mentally ill, homeless one.
• 48:43
  SPEAKER_03: I love the uh now that we're like fucking tearing into this movie.

  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, don't watch it, you're not gonna enjoy it.
• 48:53
  SPEAKER_03: No, I'm not.
• 48:54
  SPEAKER_03: As soon as I see their fucking house and they make a spectacle of the homeless lady and Donald Trump is cool.
• 49:00
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't think I don't know.
• 49:01
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
• 49:02
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe we're too uh No.
• 49:05
  SPEAKER_00: No, this is right.
• 49:06
  SPEAKER_00: We have new information.
• 49:07
  SPEAKER_00: We we can't just be like, hey, art is static in the moment it was created.
• 49:11
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 49:12
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the only value it has to society.
• 49:14
  SPEAKER_00: You can never look at anything with fresh eyes.
• 49:16
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_03: Nate, what do you think?
• 49:18
  SPEAKER_02: Are we just uh well is it is it right, so have we moved on to like we've moved on.
• 49:33
  SPEAKER_00: We've moved on to is it okay to to criticize art with or is it okay are we being are we being too extra in hating whole art?
• 49:41
  SPEAKER_02: It's okay to um it's okay to learn from it like for its time, fine.
• 49:46
  SPEAKER_02: It's like anything, isn't it?
• 49:48
  SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of things that you know wouldn't hold up today um through new kind of perspective, but it shouldn't be cancelled, it should be there to learn from.
• 49:57
  unknown: Yeah.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_03: Okay.
• 49:58
  SPEAKER_03: Alright, interesting.
• 49:59
  SPEAKER_03: Interesting.
• 50:00
  SPEAKER_03: Uh well, so uh well, there you have it, folks.
• 50:02
  SPEAKER_03: Krampus takes it home.
• 50:04
  SPEAKER_03: First, he just rips a little boy to shreds, and then that was a pretty rough match.
• 50:09
  SPEAKER_03: That was a very rough match.
• 50:11
  SPEAKER_03: Um, but congratulations, Mr.
• 50:12
  SPEAKER_03: Krampus.
• 50:13
  SPEAKER_03: This the holiday season goes to you this year.
• 50:15
  SPEAKER_00: It's amazing.
• 50:16
  SPEAKER_00: I uh you know, I debated on whether Kevin McAllister can hold off the Krampus for a round.
• 50:22
  SPEAKER_00: I I think in the end he does have a very uh what we would consider the precocious white male genius is like a cultural thing.
• 50:34
  SPEAKER_00: You know what I'm talking about?
• 50:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like uh, they're unpredictable and like cutthroat, but it's something we should like that we should be really proud of and like excited about and like envy.
• 50:47
  SPEAKER_00: Uh and uh it's pretty gross.
• 50:49
  SPEAKER_00: And I think that that Krampus after millennia would be like, whoa, where did this kid come from?
• 50:56
  SPEAKER_00: He hasn't been beaten enough ass.
• 50:57
  SPEAKER_03: That's right.
• 50:59
  SPEAKER_00: Holy shit! What society made this fucking kid?
• 51:03
  SPEAKER_02: Santra walk into Kevin's bedroom and he'll just shock them in the face.
• 51:08
  SPEAKER_02: Mother, mother will buy my present.
• 51:10
  SPEAKER_02: I don't give a shit.
• 51:11
  SPEAKER_02: Crom must have been like, holy shit, you just kill Sandra.
• 51:15
  SPEAKER_02: Kevin's item give a part.
• 51:16
  SPEAKER_01: Holy shit!
• 51:19
  SPEAKER_00: Like, Krampus has never seen this kind of like uh, you know, deification of like uh mischievous white men.
• 51:27
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
• 51:28
  SPEAKER_00: Fucking insane.
• 51:29
  SPEAKER_00: It's insane for what the kind of media we put out there.
• 51:31
  SPEAKER_03: Well, that that's one of the reasons why Krampus kind of though that's the whole kind of thing that they've been saying with Krampus sort of making this cultural comeback, is that you know, we've fallen into that where we started, you know, worshipping that and everything, and Krampus needs to come back and beat some ass.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 51:47
  SPEAKER_03: You know, but uh huh.
• 51:49
  SPEAKER_03: This is an interesting one.

• 53:14
  SPEAKER_02: So like I'm going around fist fighting everyone.
• 53:17
  SPEAKER_00: And I'm guessing you didn't use calm at all because there's not there's no answer that's not violence.
• 53:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that part, but um yeah, it's it's becoming quite a fun little I think Ryan started it, you know, and it's kind of caught on and it causes a lot of interaction.
