As Santa Claus.
Shane Dawson
That is one of the craziest things I've ever heard. Hey, welcome back to Whatever the hell this is Christmas edition. Oh, yes.
Chris
Except only half of the cast showed up in Christmas.
Shane Dawson
Okay. We were busy. We did a lot of things for Thanksgiving, so I didn't have time to go on websites and get everybody's clothes. Yes. Half of us are dressed like Christmas. Some of us are dressed like stripper Santa, and one of us is wearing a shirt with a word on it that none of us know what it means.
Chris
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
What is this?
Colby
I don't.
Ryland Adams
This is not my shirt.
Chris
Watch it be so offensive.
Ryland Adams
It's like you called me. What?
Shane Dawson
Oh, my God. Okay. Yes. First of all, we have so much to talk about. The energy is going to be insane in this episode. I Woke up at 7am I am at peak.
Chris
It's really a burden to my life.
Shane Dawson
Three Diet Cokes in, like. It's fucking crazy. Santa came in the house today fuming.
Chris
This was nuts.
Sandy
I was feeling hot, very passionate. And like Jared mentioned, it's because I was thinking about things on the way over here. So he was trying to talk to me and I said, I need to not talk right now. So when I came in, I was heated. Yeah.
Lizzy
It was like a balloon that just needed to release air. She had so much talking that she wanted to do. She just let it all out when she got here. And you guys got it.
Sandy
I did warn Jared. I said, once I go in there, I'm going to tell them. I'm going to tell them the story she told everybody. And keep in mind, I had already told, like, my whole family.
Lizzy
So individually.
Sandy
Individually.
Jared
Every woman loves a pro store.
Chris
You're in a pro store. Yeah, that's.
Shane Dawson
Hold on. We're going to get to that. Sandy, get ready, because you're going to have to tell that story to everybody again because it was really good. But before we get to that. We have a special guest today. Everybody welcome. Colby.
Ryland Adams
Okay, this is crazy.
Shane Dawson
Okay, first of all, let me explain if you don't already know. Colby. We've talked about him on the podcast. He's been around his vlogs. He's been all over the podcast Instagram, So Colby is my friend and an amazing photographer and, like, graphic artist. You have made the last podcast cover that we did. We just did a photo shoot. And today you're gonna reveal our new.
Ryland Adams
Podcast art for next season three baby.
Shane Dawson
Exciting. And you said that you were gonna come Santa. Down the boots house chimney suite.
Ryland Adams
Okay. I would like to say it's.
Lizzy
How did I understand?
Ryland Adams
Holiday themed. My version of holiday themed and your version of holiday themed are two entirely different.
Shane Dawson
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ryland Adams
You went for, like, suburban mom core, and I showed up as, like, your kid would be scared to say that if I showed up.
Shane Dawson
Although you are technically our children's first vision of Santa Claus.
Ryland Adams
I love that's iconic and scary, and they loved it.
Shane Dawson
It was very exciting.
Ryland Adams
I broke in leave a couple gifts.
Shane Dawson
You did.
Ryland Adams
There weren't cookies, and we do need to discuss that later. But for right now, you also didn't.
Chris
Come through the chimney, so I have beef with you too.
Shane Dawson
Wow. Okay, so we have so much planned for today. Obviously, we're going to get to the artwork and all that stuff. We have the secret Santa.
Chris
That has been a drama, real drama for my life.
Colby
Everyone got a gift. Everyone has.
Shane Dawson
We do.
Colby
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
Oh, this is big.
Colby
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
So, okay, so pretty soon, what's your Santa name? I feel like we tried to think.
Ryland Adams
There were a couple of good ones.
Shane Dawson
There was Santa Claus.
Ryland Adams
Santa Claus.
Shane Dawson
Santa Claus is going to be giving us our gifts later, and we're all going to have to guess who we got, by the way, I can't believe I didn't do this yet. We have backstory with Colby. Okay, so, Colby, do you want to explain how you met me and Jared for the first time? And then I will show picture evidence that you don't want me to show.
Ryland Adams
Okay, to be fair, the first time we met and I brought this story up the whole time on the first time we shot, I was like, I'm not going to show him this. This is embarrassing. And then somehow I dill was like, hey, you want to see something crazy? But this is for you at home.
Chris
Yeah.
Ryland Adams
Anything is possible. I waited in line, like, six and a half hours at Vidcon to take our very first photo in that crazy Anaheim convention center of chaos.
Shane Dawson
Wow.
Ryland Adams
And, like, the Real tea is I used to have the vacation song poster posted in my bedroom, period.
Sandy
Wow.
Ryland Adams
Like, this is a long time coming. But yeah, this photo is.
Shane Dawson
Okay, here is me and Colby at the. Look at. Oh, my God. That is. First of all, I would trust you with my money.
Lizzy
I'm going to say is that you and your first agent.
Chris
It's like, I'm going to take you places.
Ryland Adams
Shane, it's Rob.
Shane Dawson
Okay, so that is. You know what's so crazy? I actually literally remember this so vividly. And I think it's because the universe knew that we would be in each other's lives again at some point, because this was over 10 years ago. And when you showed this to me, I was like, right back into that moment. Then there's another picture. So Jared, you also met Jared. Was this the same Vidcon?
Ryland Adams
Oh, yeah.
Shane Dawson
Oh, my gosh. Jared looks exactly the same. That's insane.
Colby
What the hell?
Ryland Adams
It's crazy. Like, I think there are so many opportunities, but the fact that we've gotten to here is just mind blowing.
Shane Dawson
The fact that you're in my house dressed as gay Santa is fucking insane.
Ryland Adams
And I knew. I knew in that moment. Yeah.
Shane Dawson
Okay, Sandy, you got. Everybody in the comments is always like, sandy and Jared are goals. Their goals are always holding hands. Are they holding hands today? They are.
Chris
No, no, he's. He's caressing her behind the scenes.
Shane Dawson
They're always being so cute. Not today. You guys came in blazing. Sandy's pissed. Today was different fights with Jared and Sandy. Uh.
Sandy
Oh, yes. So here's the story, which kind of makes me look bad a little bit, but mostly him. So Jared. Well, we've sharing socks.
Chris
And by sharing, she means stealing Jared.
Sandy
Yes, yes. And so for those who don't know, Jared actually likes to pull up his socks like he's in the 90s. He's always done this. And the other day he told me that he doesn't think we should share socks anymore because his socks. Because his socks no longer stay up. I was like, wait, are you saying that my calves are so big they're stretching out your socks? Oh, I know, I know. This is triggering me. And then he says to me, well, I just think our bodies are built differently. Can you believe it?
Lizzy
Of course they are.
Shane Dawson
Yeah.
Jared
And that's why her calf's got 50,000 steps in someone else's calf.
Sandy
And I'm sorry that my family's just super blessed with very muscular calves. You know, when was that ever a bad thing?
Shane Dawson
Tell him, Sandy.
Sandy
So then I tell him the Other day, I feel like. I just feel. You know, I was feeling down about my weight and how I look. And I told him, I said, man, I just feel like I'm really gaining weight, and I just feel ugly. And he says to me, no, my love, you're so beautiful. And that's it. And so then I say to him, all right, did you just call me fat?
Chris
And not to side with Jared, but this does sound like a shame trap.
Sandy
No. Then he says to me, well, we both have, you know, talked about that we've been gaining weight. Can you believe that?
Shane Dawson
I got to go.
Sandy
He was just digging his own grave right there and then.
Shane Dawson
Not on Christmas.
Ryland Adams
I'm sweating.
Sandy
And that was it.
Ryland Adams
Sandy, let's lean.
Sandy
I'm not mad about it. You know, I'm. I'm strong.
Lizzy
She's beautiful.
Shane Dawson
Who cares about calves? My legs are. What do you call them?
Chris
What? No, you call them.
Ryland Adams
What do you call them on me?
Shane Dawson
I mentioned one time that they look like pork chops.
Jared
He always said, my pork chop.
Shane Dawson
Ever since then, that's all he calls his pork chops.
Chris
He's like. I was like, you gave yourself that name. I guess it's different.
Shane Dawson
Yeah, but you shouldn't be using it. You should be saying, oh, you mean your chicken leg.
Chris
Nobody wants like. Like, sturdy upper half.
Shane Dawson
Okay, Sandy, hear me. This is what he says to me. He goes. He goes, I like your big legs.
Chris
No, when. He goes. When he's acting insecure about them skinny.
Shane Dawson
Legs, like, I like your big legs.
Chris
But Shane's legs aren't fat. They're muscular. There's a difference.
Sandy
Nicer word I use other than big.
Jared
I'll back you up on that.
Chris
So if it's an actual compliment, I don't.
Colby
I'm stressed.
Jared
It's sexy.
Shane Dawson
This is a lot.
Sandy
See, what I tell Jared is I always tell him that I love his long, beautiful legs. I don't say, like, big or small. I just say, long, beautiful legs.
Lizzy
And then you say, I look like a frog.
Sandy
Well, I love.
Lizzy
Okay, enough.
Colby
That's Draw the line.
Sandy
That's for another story to tell.
Shane Dawson
Well, let's move on. Okay. Should we do the big artwork reveal? Yes. Okay, here we go. Are you guys ready to see our new itunes, Spotify, whatever else podcast apps out there? Artwork for the next year for the 2025 podcast. Here it is. Whoa. Colby, you killed. Grabbing onto each other, holding on for dear life as we fall in a hole.
Chris
How did you do that?
Shane Dawson
Can I just say, did you Photoshop our eyes?
Ryland Adams
No, that's the original photo.
Chris
We're all delivering the exact same, like, case.
Shane Dawson
Love this picture so much. Like, right after you took it and I looked at your camera, I was like, it's. That's the one. Because we all look so intense. Okay. Really take it in. Look at the arms, look at the hands. Look at Rylan gripping on dispenser. Like, help me.
Chris
Yeah. It all came together very nice.
Lizzy
And I'm just kind of only touching Rylan because I need to maybe possibly get out in front of you guys in case someone comes up.
Chris
It feels like I'm, like, the first one into your culture.
Shane Dawson
Well, Jared looks like he's like, don't worry, guys. We're going into the rabbit hole. I got you. So cute.
Chris
Spencer's like, what am I doing here?
Colby
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
Oh, wait, that's Big Spencer's an addition.
Chris
Oh.
Shane Dawson
Oh, yeah. Okay, so that's the new artwork. I love it so much. Let us know what you think. Please go to itunes or Spotify or whatever and, like, rate it. Is that how you make it?
Ryland Adams
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
And send Colby some love for doing such a good job. Such a good job. Amazing job. Yeah. Okay, so let's look at a couple of the other pictures that I thought were highlights from the photo shoot that we did with Colby. This one we have Jared chicken fishb. Jared eating a chicken big Mac.
Chris
Wow. McDonald's should pay for the rights to that.
Shane Dawson
It's so good.
Lizzy
After talking about gaining weight and feeling fat, this is definitely, like, high level motivation.
Ryland Adams
If I could easily inside on the.
Chris
Day, Shane's like, oh, she was eating the chicken Big Mac. Get over here with it.
Shane Dawson
He's like, it's gone.
Lizzy
Thanks, Ryland. Really bringing me back to the moment of eating the chicken Big Mac.
Sandy
That was his last bite, actually, of.
Chris
That really is good.
Shane Dawson
I think he looks snatched. I think you look.
Chris
We should sell that to the stock photo websites. I think people would use it.
Ryland Adams
No, we just photoshopped the ad and then leave it inside of a McDonald's and see how long it takes for someone to realize that it's not.
Colby
Ooh, that's good.
Jared
I love that.
Lizzy
Oh, I think it's a great photo.
Shane Dawson
Well, speaking of great photos, here is Jared and Sandy, which I thought was so cute, so natural, but I was like, I want a cute one of me and you just being fun and cute. And then we tried to take some, and all of them are just me and Riley getting mad at you.
Colby
Yeah, your face is.
Shane Dawson
You look handsome, though. But it was just us fighting, and then literally he was just like, well, what do you want from me? Yeah, never mind.
Chris
I hate photo shoot days.
Shane Dawson
Why do you hate them so much?
Chris
I, I, I hate still photos. They're my nightmare.
Ryland Adams
There are two types of people you either are really good looking on, like video camera and not in photo.
Shane Dawson
Where are you going with this?
Ryland Adams
Let's make it three types of universally looks great all the time, but no, it's a, it's a no for sure. It's a real thing, though.
Sandy
But I mean, your photos with the trash can, they look so good.
Shane Dawson
Yeah, we'll throw some of those up. We also have photos of Ryland getting out of a trash can. There's one of Rylan running me over with his car, which was a choice fantasy. I think we'd be kidding. What?
Colby
Spicy?
Chris
No, I'm kidding. My life would not go around without Shane. I am not wishing that. Into the world, please.
Shane Dawson
Cop. Wow, very feisty episode.
Lizzy
Little preview of the sip.
Shane Dawson
Check it out. Sip Mess.
Chris
Make sure you guys tune in.
Shane Dawson
Sip Mess.
Chris
It's us yelling.
Lizzy
Is that a thing? Sip.
Chris
We're actually currently in a feud with a radio show right now, so.
Ryland Adams
Yeah, that's real.
Colby
That's good Lord.
Chris
No big deal.
Shane Dawson
What are you talking about?
Jared
The radio won't stop talking shit about us.
Chris
Yeah, we're like going back and forth with the radio show.
Shane Dawson
Is this real?
Chris
Yes, this is real.
Shane Dawson
Wait, why have you not told me about this?
Jared
Yeah, why have you not told him about this?
Chris
Well, if you would listen to my podcast.
Shane Dawson
A real radio show.
Jared
A real radio show.
Chris
Wait, like Ali and Alex or something?
Shane Dawson
What did I say?
Chris
I took it as a compliment.
Shane Dawson
This is huge.
Chris
I took a couple.
Jared
They said that we were, like, not good at what we do.
Chris
They were reacting to our podcast and this girl's like, yeah, I put them on to fall asleep.
Shane Dawson
Vanessa listens to this while she falls asleep.
Chris
And he's like, well, let me listen. And the guy's listening and he's like, they're not even doing anything. And she's like, exactly the point.
Lizzy
It sounds like they're trying to set.
Shane Dawson
Up a podcast but don't know how microphones work.
Sandy
Exactly what they're doing.
Chris
And then allegedly, they've reacted to us. Reacting because he's on the radio.
Sandy
We don't know how to find you.
Shane Dawson
You guys have to go on next.
Ryland Adams
Week and fight them.
Lizzy
Podcast is going to be talked on KROCK now.
Chris
No, that was the last time you turned on the radio.
Shane Dawson
Well, every, like everybody in LA, every.
Chris
80 year old in LA, my step down.
Sandy
Cat Williams once said, if in beginning of the summer, you got two haters, you got to figure out how to get 16 haters by the end of it. Yes. You keep doing it.
Chris
Honestly, I'm flattered. And it's the most fun beef that I've ever had.
Shane Dawson
Wow. How come you haven't told me about this?
Chris
I don't know.
Ryland Adams
I.
Chris
And Lizzy kept telling me about it, and I didn't believe her because one of her friends was listening, and it's a friend.
Jared
Well, they didn't even say the name of our podcast. They just started talking shit and didn't even plug the show.
Shane Dawson
What the name of their show is is. Is so irrelevant to this conversation. Why would they react to a podcast?
Chris
I don't know.
Jared
They were talking about things that put.
Lizzy
Them to sleep, listening to random monotonous podcasts.
Colby
As you go to sleep, this bitch.
Jared
Comes to work and says, this podcast, which shall remain nameless because we're not going to plug them because I'm a nasty wench.
Chris
They go on and listen and react, and it's great. I'm sorry to make this about me, but if you want that kind of fun, seriously, come on over.
Shane Dawson
Okay. Okay. Should we get started with the Secret Santa?
Jared
So exciting.
Ryland Adams
I love that Santa's on a budget and everything is in a trash bag.
Shane Dawson
Well, that's because we have Santa's sack.
Ryland Adams
But our first one is for Rylan.
Shane Dawson
I don't know how it is. Maybe just chuck it or no. Oh, God.
Sandy
Oh, my God.
Shane Dawson
Wow. Santa got skills. Okay.
Sandy
And nothing fell out.
Shane Dawson
Santa, throw your boot up so they can see the boot.
Chris
The wrapping paper, the wrapping paper alone feels more than the budget.
Shane Dawson
It does. Look at that bow.
Chris
I am very excited.
Shane Dawson
I'm so excited.
Chris
Oh, my gosh.
Shane Dawson
What is it?
Chris
Shane is gonna lose his mind to go with your reindeer.
Shane Dawson
Oh, God, that's so cute.
Chris
Wow.
Jared
Santa hats for the headrest.
Shane Dawson
I will say the reindeer ears on the cybertruck fell off and broke, and now it's just a clown nose.
Ryland Adams
So that's.
Chris
I'll have to order another one. This is nice, though. Cause it goes on the back and, like, the back too. And the rear facing car seats. The boys will love looking at those.
Shane Dawson
That is. That's a good one.
Chris
Oh, there's more.
Shane Dawson
Oh, my gosh.
Chris
Joshua Tree. Now I've narrowed it down to two people. This could be.
Shane Dawson
That is cute.
Chris
There's no way this was under $20.
Shane Dawson
Who knows?
Sandy
Who knows who? Got it.
Shane Dawson
Okay, time to guess. Who do you think Gave it to.
Chris
Well, there's more.
Jared
Chris, that's crazy.
Chris
Hydrating cleansing wipes from Sephora. I did see Sandy got the 5 for 5 deal there. So I'm wondering if this. This might have been in that.
Sandy
Somebody's been watching our vlogmas.
Chris
Oh, my gosh. And Dr. Sasquatch. Oh, my God. I've been using their deodorant from.
Ryland Adams
I love their soap.
Chris

Sandy
Oh, the bucket might say something too.
Chris
Welcome to the magic of Christmas. This is incredible.
Shane Dawson
That's crazy that he saw. Welcome.
Jared
I don't think he can read.
Chris
There's no way this hoodie was.

Wow.
Sandy
I think it's between you and Ryland. I'm gonna say you wrong.
Shane Dawson
Don't say who it was. Maybe that's the game. Who's next?
Ryland Adams
I look a lot different on this wrapping paper, but for Shane.
Shane Dawson
Wait. Oh, okay, so this is to me. They obviously wrote the wrong name and scratched it out, which is interesting. Oh, that is calculated Interesting. Which one should I open? Oh, yeah. I don't know. I'm gonna do this one.

Shane Dawson
Wait, it looks good with the jacket.
Lizzy
Oh, does it?
Shane Dawson
Over the earphones. It's a buy.
Chris
Yeah, that is a buy.
Lizzy
A big gummy, a big goat. It's all 7 11.
Shane Dawson
Can we all taste that?
Lizzy
A gift card. It could be up to a hundred dollars.
Chris
I think there's an amount on the back 20.
Lizzy
So this is over budget. Over budget? I can't accept it. Unfortunately, I'm liking what I'm seeing.
Shane Dawson
Oh, there's more? Yeah. Somebody went crazy.
Chris
An iPhone, charger, sunglasses.
Shane Dawson
Oh, I love those.
Jared
Hell yeah.
Chris
Wow. Look, the ball.
Jared
There's more.
Lizzy
That's it.
Shane Dawson
Wow. All right. Who do you think gave it to you?
Lizzy
I'm gonna say it's either Lizzie or Spencer. I'm gonna guess Lizzy.
Shane Dawson
Wrong. Okay, I Know this one?
Lizzy
I thought it was a funny one.
Shane Dawson
So who was wrong, Chris?
Chris
I was wrong, Jared.
Sandy
I don't know if. Did you tell me I was wrong?
Chris
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shane Dawson
Okay. Okay, Sandy. Who wants to reveal who got Sandy the cute ears?
Jared
It was me.
Sandy
Oh, man, I should have known. And I even said. You call me that.
Jared
Well, it's because you keep saying you want to be perceived as a multi dimensional character. So I was like, and she's in her villain era. Cause let's see the face. There it is.
Sandy
And I did feel like I brought it this episode.
Jared
You brought them a little bit for sure.
Sandy
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
Thank you, Chris. Who got Chris the gay paruba? Well, now I think it's either Ryland.
Ryland Adams
Or is it Right.
Jared
I have beef with Ryland over there.
Shane Dawson
I have beef too, because I picked it out.
Chris
Really?
Jared
No, that makes more sense because he gave me shit when I got him a book last year. He's like, people don't want.
Shane Dawson
Well, nobody wants.
Chris
Nobody wants a book.
Shane Dawson
But it's gay and.
Chris
Are you kidding me? Like, how could anything be more Chris?
Shane Dawson
But it's sitting on his coffee table. It's a pretty. Like, put it in the house.
Jared
Right.
Sandy
Am I the only one that kept within budget? Were we the only ones that kept in budget?
Chris
I was very close.
Sandy
Were you? Jared was very like, the budget.
Jared
Very seriously.
Sandy
Jared said, you better not spend more than 20 bucks because that's a budget. So I was very nervous about it.
Colby
I wasn't that much over budget. I'll say.
Shane Dawson
Yeah, I was very, very excited.
Lizzy
Except the gift card.
Colby
Wow. Yeah.
Shane Dawson
Wow. Well, there you guys go. That was our secret Santa. I feel bad we didn't get Colby anything.
Ryland Adams
Yeah, I'm Santa. This is my Christmas Santa.
Shane Dawson
Okay, well, we're going to take a quick little break and when we come back, something I've been waiting for all year, we're going to be playing Christmas Maf. Get ready. See you guys in a second. Hold on. Don't snow anywhere. That didn't work. Sleigh. Right there. That was better. Guys, can you believe Christmas is in three days? Or depending on when you're watching, this might be over. You know what's so weird about Christmas? The second it's over, Santa knows not to overstay his welcome. The second Christmas is over, that motherfucker back on the North Pole closes the blinds, deletes his social media. He really takes a break. Good for him. What am I talking about? Displate. Okay, don't go anywhere. Seriously. If you are looking for a gift not just a Christmas gift. This is an all year round gift. This is the perfect birthday gift, the perfect Valentine's gift, the perfect gift to yourself. Treat yourself, Treat yourself. If you guys haven't heard about displate, where have you been? We literally have a displate in the back of all of Chris's angles on the podcast for like the last three years. Displays are the one of a kind metal posters designed to capture your unique, unique passions. They literally have over 2 million designs. Disney, Marvel movies, music, our podcast, other podcasts like, okay, for example, say you're shopping for your friend. You're like, I don't know what to get. Go to display.com Shane. That was ugly. And just think about what your friend likes. I don't know. My friend likes scream. Type in scream search. Boom. There you go. Literally anything you can think of. They also have display texture, which is new Textra has 3D contours, tactile design, selective matte and gloss effects, and it also comes in a large size. I love displate because for me, growing up in a house where I was not allowed to put any holes in the wall, but displate is so easy because all you gotta do is you wipe a little part of the wall wherever you want your displate, put on the magnetic piece, snap your displate on and you can take it off super easy. Put it anywhere you want. Doesn't leave holes in the walls, doesn't strip paint. It's really, really smart and I love it. So if you want to check out displate, please do go to displate.com shane and use code grower at checkout and you can get up to 36% off of your order. That's Displate.com Shane and use code grow. Thank you so much Displate for sponsoring and please check them out. Just have fun, explore. All right, enjoy the rest of the episode. I'll see you guys later.
Jared
Bye.
Shane Dawson
Okay. Welcome back to Santa Claus's village, where all the little elves are sleeping in their beds. So excited for Santi to come tomorrow. Does Spencer the elf want to take us through our first round of Christmas mafia?
Colby
Okay, you guys ready to play some Christmas mafia?
Shane Dawson
Yes, sir. Yeah.
Colby
So I have all the roles in this Christmas spot.
Shane Dawson
A little nog.
Colby
A little. There might be eggnog in here. So there's gonna be a mafia and a guardian angel. So mafia's gonna kill someone? Guardian angel can save someone.
Chris
Only one Mafia?
Shane Dawson
Yeah.
Chris
Okay.
Shane Dawson
We haven't played this in a while.
Jared
I'm nervous.
Shane Dawson
Oh, my God. This is the last episode of the year.
Chris
It is.
Shane Dawson
That is sad. Yeah, this year went by really fast for me. I know it did.
Colby
Does everyone have their role and know their role?
Shane Dawson
Yes. Know your role.
Colby
Know your role.
Jared
Know your role.
Colby
Okay, everyone. Townspeople, go to sleep. A nice, relaxing night in Christmas Town. Mafia, please awaken. Point to who you would like to kill. Very good. Very good. Go to sleep. Guardian angel, arise. Please select the person you would like. The elf you would like to save. Very good. Very good. Please go to sleep.
Sandy
Cock a doodle.
Colby
It is a bright and beautiful Christmas morning.
Shane Dawson
All you beautiful little elves, run down.
Colby
To the tree and open the presents. But wait, someone's not here in the house you guys all share together. Someone is not here because last night.
Chris
Sandy, you're looking psychotic. Has psychotic energy.
Jared
It's just because I feel bad and guilty, even though we just keep going.
Colby
Funny enough. Last night, Lizzy was gonna take a walk outside. She wanted to check on the reindeer, make sure everyone was ready for the big night.
Shane Dawson
It's true.
Colby
And everything was. And it was. You went to sleep. But then Chris was like, she must have missed something. And he went back out, and the mafia had poured a bunch of water on the ground and it froze to ice. And it was on a perfect slope. And so Chris slid all the way down and there was a tree branch.
Shane Dawson
No.
Colby
Impaled to death. You guys found him impaled to death on a Christmas tree.
Shane Dawson
Oh.
Colby
Oh. And it was because of the mom. I know it's fucked up in his.
Chris
Christmas shirt that nobody understands.
Colby
But unfortunately, the guardian angel wasn't. Wasn't flying around that night.
Ryland Adams
So.
Colby
Chris, you have been killed by the Mafia.
Ryland Adams
I swear, I've died every time we played this game.
Shane Dawson
Who did it?
Chris
Oh, my God.
Colby
So now the townspeople have to figure out who was the Mafia.
Shane Dawson
Sandy, always.
Chris
She is always the most conniving in this game. She can, like, present a pretty face.
Shane Dawson
When she's in her villain era. She came in heated.
Sandy
Oh.
Shane Dawson
Ooh.
Sandy
I feel like Shane's really putting up a fight that I'm the killer.
Chris
Oh, yeah.
Jared
Kill it.
Sandy
Well, now I think you might be Lizzie.
Chris
No, she was acting.
Jared
Don't be dumb, Sand.
Shane Dawson
It's obviously shame.
Chris
You were acting suspicious.
Jared
I always feel guilty the second we do anything that has anything around.
Shane Dawson
Guilty.
Chris
I feel like you would kill Chris.
Jared
It is not I. Because everyone who's a town person knows that their card does not say villager. It says something else. So the fact that you said villager means you Never pulled a card out that said it.
Shane Dawson
Mine says villager lies mafia. It really does say villager. Spencer, did you write multiple versions of the word villager?
Colby
I wrote one alternate version.
Shane Dawson
Oh.
Chris
Oh, my God.
Ryland Adams
That's crazy.
Colby
Just the to make it fun.
Chris
My divine is out in shape is not the mock.
Jared
I know I may feel so crazy.
Sandy
When she said that. I thought I also got villager.
Colby
It's also funny because I know what it says on yours, and it's really funny. Not even funnier.
Shane Dawson
I feel broken. I feel like I don't know who I am.
Sandy
You really, like, meant it?
Shane Dawson
No. Cause I was like you.
Jared
I'm so sorry, Shane.
Shane Dawson
I love it.
Sandy
Okay, now I do think. Now I think it is Shane.
Shane Dawson
I think it's now I'm a villager.
Jared
No, I remove my second.
Sandy
Okay, who are you thinking?
Jared
Okay, well, now I'm thinking you, and.
Sandy
Now you're thinking me. You are in your villain era, my love. You're not gonna stand up for me.
Chris
You're multi dimensional.
Lizzy
Is Kobe playing?
Shane Dawson
He is very quiet over there in the North Pole.
Sandy
Did Santa go?
Ryland Adams
Christ, no. If today's Christmas. I was getting ready, I couldn't have done it.
Shane Dawson
Oh, right. No, that wasn't.
Chris
He woke up super early to get ready.
Jared
What does your card say?
Ryland Adams
Maybe villager, maybe something else. Maybe not.
Jared
Because what if a person got us something that says, but that would be.
Ryland Adams
Crazy if Santa's just out here slaughtering out.
Chris
That's a movie.
Ryland Adams
The next film.
Chris
It would be ironic.
Colby
All right, so what do you guys think? Are you thinking? Okay, I'm hearing Sandy and Colby is 2.
Jared
I would second Colby if I were nominated.
Shane Dawson
I'm saying Sandy because she always gets Mafia. Every time we play, somehow she gets Mafia.
Chris
The odds are in her favor.
Jared
Sandy, are you the Mafia?
Sandy
I think it might be Ryland.
Chris
Are you kidding me?
Sandy
Ryland is scarily, like, scary good at this game.
Jared
I asked you a yes or no, and I'm wondering why you.
Sandy
No, I am not. I am a villager.
Shane Dawson
Oh, shifty eyes.
Ryland Adams
I don't. I don't know if I believe that one.
Shane Dawson
Okay, so I vote Sandy. Is there any other people on the chopping block? Who?
Colby
Anyone, Anyone else will nominate? I guess Sandy's nominating Rylan. So.
Shane Dawson
So Ryland and Sandy. Anybody think Colby?
Lizzy
Me?
Jared
I. I second Colby.
Sandy
Oh, all set in Jared speak.
Lizzy
Well, I like to observe.
Colby
The sun is going down. It's time to vote. All in all, who. People who think Ryland is the mafia.
Sandy
Right here. I believe it's Ryland.
Colby
Okay, everyone who believes it is Colby.
Lizzy
Me.
Chris
Can I say we've all switched from Sandy to Colby.
Colby
Everyone who thinks it's Sandy.
Chris
Wait, I thought you.
Ryland Adams
I'm going with Sandy.
Colby
Okay, well, we have a tie, so let's break the tie. Okay, everyone who thinks it's Sandy, raise your hand.
Ryland Adams
Well, can I add one last thing? That would be gay on gay hate crime. So it was not me.
Sandy
And he brings that up. Seems very suspicious, playing the gay card. Interesting.
Colby
All right, everyone who votes for Sandy, please raise your hand.
Chris
Nobody's gonna flip.
Colby
Everyone who votes for Colby, y'all about. Oh, it's even.
Shane Dawson
Oh, okay. You know what?
Chris

Colby
Okay, okay, okay, okay.
Jared
Rylan, you are so good at. Sincerely, I am so sincere. I am so sorry.
Ryland Adams
Yeah, we'll take it up.
Shane Dawson
Hate crime.
Lizzy
Hate crime.
Ryland Adams
I said it was a gay.
Shane Dawson
Gay. You killed Santa on Christmas. Oh, my God. Gay Santa.
Jared
You were too cool. I didn't realize.
Ryland Adams
I'm just cool.
Shane Dawson
I get it.
Sandy
Sorry.
Shane Dawson
Are you gay?
Ryland Adams
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
Okay. We've never talked about if you're gay or not. And I'm like, wow, we've been really programmed.
Ryland Adams
No.
Shane Dawson
So you know what I mean? Like, what if he's not out?
Ryland Adams
I'm like, he's just like, the closet. The closet is glass doors.
Chris
It is glass.
Jared
It's like when Rylan was in the closet.
Shane Dawson
Yeah.
Jared
He. One time, Ryland came up to me. He's like, well, I'm gay.
Chris
And I was like, did the picture.
Ryland Adams
Of us not scream everything it needed to scream?
Colby
Okay, that was a long day. You guys killed Santa Claus. You killed gay Santa. So let's. It's time to go to sleep.
Jared
I'll never not feel bad about that.
Sandy
Rylan, if you're not dead, you're. It's you. Okay, it's you.
Colby
All right, all right, bedtime, everybody. Bedtime. Bedtime.
Jared
I'll back you on that.
Shane Dawson
Sandy.
Colby
Eyes closed.
Sandy
Finally.
Jared
If I go out, it's Ryland. I didn't mean that. I'm not a target. I just want to play.
Colby
Okay. Mafia. Please awaken.
Jared
It's Shane.
Sandy
I knew it.
Colby
Please point to who you would like to kill.
Sandy
I'm dead.
Shane Dawson
Aw.
Colby
Very good. Very good.
Chris
Interesting.
Colby
Guardian angel. Please awaken. Please select who you would like to save. Very good.
Shane Dawson
Very good. Cock a doodle doo.
Colby
Another beautiful morning of the North Pole.
Chris
Who did Sandy kill Now if it's.
Sandy
Not you, then it's you.
Colby
So last night you guys decided to go. I was gonna say trick or treating. Cause in the North Pole, they do things a little different.
Shane Dawson
Differently.
Colby
So you guys are going around from house to house trick or treating because you guys had to work all Halloween. So now it's time to party. But wait, you left someone behind. Where's Lizzy? No, you can't find her anywhere. All of a sudden, under. Under a mistletoe.
Shane Dawson
No, you know who it is.
Jared
Someone's trying to frame Ryland.
Colby
All of a sudden, we see Lizzy's corpse. She was strangled by Santa. A plastic Santa.
Jared
This is really violent.
Colby
And it's. Sorry, things. Things are rough up there. But Lizzy was killed and it sat on her arm from the mafia.
Shane Dawson
Wow.
Ryland Adams
So now a new tattoo.
Shane Dawson
And no one saved me.
Colby
And, yeah, the guardian angel literally resolved.
Shane Dawson
Who is the guardian angel? They take forever.
Chris
And they're not good.
Colby
All right, so who do you guys think?
Shane Dawson
Ryland. No, I felt it.
Chris
Sandy was going so hard after me.
Shane Dawson
I feel it. It's you.
Chris
If I was the monster.
Shane Dawson
He's so mad.
Sandy
I feel like it is Shane. And I said it. Let's just be clear. I said it from the get go. It's Shane.
Chris
And I was saying you were going so hard after me. I would have killed you just to.
Sandy
Shut you up or they wouldn't.
Colby
Whoa.
Sandy
To frame you.
Shane Dawson
Whoa. I'm gonna look at body language from Colby and Chris because they're dead.
Colby
So they had their eyes closed. They had their eyes closed.
Shane Dawson
I want to be surprised.
Jared
Why would you do that?
Shane Dawson
I feel like I'd ruin it.
Ryland Adams
It's so much more fun. A certain way. I do something.
Colby
I was gonna say something, but Jared's being pretty quiet.
Chris
Yeah, it's suspicious.
Shane Dawson
It's still Ryland. But Jared's looking for.
Sandy
Shut up.
Lizzy
I'm just being observant.
Shane Dawson
Jared, why do you take so long as guardian angel?
Lizzy

Sandy
Okay. Something is going on. Never.
Chris
He's never this calm.
Shane Dawson
He really isn't. Jared, are you the mafia?
Lizzy

Chris
He would kill Lizzie and not Sandy too.
Shane Dawson
Oh, I think it's Rylan.
Sandy
What?
Shane Dawson
Lizzie, you're dead. Who do you think killed you?
Jared
Honestly, Am I allowed to speak? Yeah, I've got a strong vibe that it was Jared because it was a calculated kill.
Shane Dawson
Oh.
Jared
It feels as though this is a frame. This is a frame job.
Shane Dawson
Oh, interesting.
Jared
But I'm also insane and wrong, usually. So take that with a grain of salt.
Colby
All right, I think we have our two candidates. I think.
Shane Dawson
Yeah.
Colby
And I think we're gonna use one of you guys as the deciding vote. If it's a tie. Okay, you're eyes closed. Everyone who thinks it is Jared, please raise your hand.

Sandy
I knew it.
Chris
Jared killed his wife.
Colby
Well, Sandy decided to go out for a walk on the ice last night. And she walked into this funny patch and she fell right into the ocean. The mafia had caught a big hole in the ice.
Chris
She died, girl.
Colby
She died and she died, girl. With only two people left, I believe there's a. I think the mafia won, Right?

Colby
You were saved at the last second.
Shane Dawson
Did the guardian angel save himself?
Colby
Yeah. So the guardian angel.
Sandy
Wait, you saved yourself?
Shane Dawson
Yeah. That's genius, you guys.
Chris
I had to lie to my best friend too. She looked at me and she's like, there's no way you did it right? And I was like, absolutely not. And that's one of Shane and I's biggest fights too. I lied straight to his face while we were playing mafia once.
Jared
He's scary already with enough emotionally. Spencer Writing talent Town's idiot on my.
Colby
Car whose house I put one of my Town idiot.
Jared
Why your handwriting is so hard to read. I was like, is part of this written upside down?
Colby
I just thought it would be funny because someone would get it and be like, what the fuck? Town idiot.
Chris
This was really good for my idiot.
Lizzy
I love that you thought everybody said town idiot.
Sandy
Yeah, that's why that's my favorite part. She was like, very determined. Everybody knows it doesn't say.
Shane Dawson
That'S so funny. Well, Merry Christmas, everyone. Ho ho, ho. Okay, well, we're gonna take a quick little break. We're gonna have a couple fights in there.
Jared
I'm gonna sit somewhere else.
Shane Dawson

Jared
So stick around.

Okay, here we go. This is our last sponsor of the year. This is crazy. This year has gone by so fast. I honestly couldn't even remember everything that happened this year. I mean, obviously had kids, they're a year old now, started the Conspiracy Van series. This is Baller dude podcast. It really was just a really fun, fulfilling, awesome year. So hopefully you guys had a good year too. And to end this year off with a flag or wait, no, I'm going to talk about Rocket Money. See what I did there? You wanted to. If you guys don't already know, I've talked about Rocket Money so many times before. I love them. They are the all in one personal finance app that helps you cancel subscriptions, subscriptions lower bills and manage your money better. So many of you guys have been using Rocket Money that you have saved so much money this year. Rocket Money has helped save its customers $740 a year when using all the app's premium features. They've also helped customers save over $500 million on canceled subscriptions alone. That is my favorite feature they do. I love everything they do, but my favorite thing they do is canceling unwanted subscriptions. Because that is something that before Rocket Money, I don't know, I would like get these apps, be paying a dollar, two, three a month for it. Forget. I'd be like, oh, I did the trial, I gotta remember to cancel that. Guess what? I don't remember. And then I'm looking at my credit card statement, I'm like, what the hell is that? Well, luckily, Rocket Money is here to swoop in and save us from all of these unwanted subscriptions. Rocket Money will show you a list of all your subscriptions. All you gotta do is tap the ones that you don't want anymore. And Rocket Money may be able to help you cancel with just a few Taps. They also help lower your bills. Rocket Money will automatically scan your bills to find savings. And with just a couple taps, Rocket Money can help negotiate your bills for you. You don't need to call customer service and wait on hold forever. Even though sometimes the songs are bangers. All you got to do is take a picture of your bill, upload it, and Rocket Money will help get you the lowest possible rate. You can also use a feature that helps you set budgets.

And yeah, I will see you guys in the new year. Bye. Hey, welcome back. Okay, I'm very excited because we are going to be doing something because it's the last episode of the year. We're going to be counting down the top five conspiracies of 2024 as voted on by you in the group chat on our Instagram. So we went to the group chat on Instagram. If you're not following us there, please follow us. And we asked what were your favorite conspiracies of the year? And you guys submitted all your ideas. Spencer took them, picked the top choices, and here they are. So before we jump in, an honorable mention didn't make the top five, but it was honorable. Is the Bohemian.
Colby
Bohemian.
Lizzy
Bohemian.
Ryland Adams
Bohemian Grove.
Shane Dawson
Yes.
Ryland Adams
Yes.
Shane Dawson
Bohemian.
Ryland Adams
I could go off about this forever.
Shane Dawson
Go off Santa.
Ryland Adams
Okay, so first off, it's like all of like the top powers basically in the world that all get together in the middle of the forest and they have this like giant, giant owl statue. But like, supposedly they do, like, sacrifices and they talk about, like wars and power and economy and like, everything to basically, like, control it. Kind of Illuminati ish, but like, with a giant owl. I'm in. I'm in. Yeah, I fell down that rabbit hole.
Shane Dawson
I love conspiracy clause. Yes. So that is an honorable mention and one of the scariest theories we've talked about. And number five, zombie fungus that inspired the hit video game and TV show the Last of Us has come to life. You might be safe if you're a human, but sadly for one, tarantula wasn't safe from the.
Sandy
What?
Colby
He was infected by this fungus and it took over his nervous system and forced him to come to this location. And then as he died, the fungus sprouted out of his body, allowing the spores to spread to another unsuspecting tarantula.
Chris
The way he's lounging above it.
Shane Dawson
The zombie fungus was number five voted by you guys. This has been something that we've been talking about for, I think three years now. And it really hit its peak this year with this zombie tarantula. So, yes, mushrooms are taking over. They're growing into animals now. It will be people soon. It is controlling the animal's brain to make them die and make them do whatever it wants them to do. Do. It's literally the last of us and it's happening. Jared, do you have any predictions for 2025 when it comes to zombie mushrooms?
Lizzy
I think that they're already in our brains. Shook in our brains. Okay, okay.
Shane Dawson
Whoa.
Lizzy
And I think around may stop. We're gonna start seeing a shift by July. It's an all out show. Do you really think that September cancer. There's going to be less than a thousand people left come December. We're going to have to huddle and join forces to take back over the world.
Chris
You know what?
Jared
The out of that is so toxic.
Chris
I think that would be the course, but AI is going to step in.
Shane Dawson
Okay. Number four is the Olive Garden conspiracy, which, if you don't know, we did a video this. It was our first like conspiracy van video, now that I'm thinking about it, which is honestly one of my favorite things that I think I've ever done. I love it so much. Okay, so the Olive Garden theory was that they reuse breadsticks because people leave breadsticks on the table and then the Olive Garden employee will take them to the back, reheat them, bring them back out. We tried sharpieing on them, seeing if they would get taken back. They didn't and it flopped. But it was still a fun time. Spencer licked a breadstick, which people talk to you about in public.
Colby
People DM me about that and they talk to me about that.
Chris
I would say that's one of the most popular videos that people bring up to me in person as well.
Shane Dawson
Really?
Chris
That happened just the other day?
Shane Dawson
Yes. So Olive Garden. People really fuck with Olive Garden.
Colby
Yeah, they love it.
Shane Dawson
Yeah. So if you guys want a sequel.
Colby
It'S funny because we did a Chipotle one, which was true and had a whole effect, but people didn't give a fuck about that one.
Sandy
I just love that. That beats this, like, fungus texture. Olive Garden.
Jared
That wasn't even approved.
Shane Dawson
Number three is the hair theory. So we talked about this multiple times. We get so many comments about this. So the theory is, if a celebrity changes their hair to a certain color, that is what shoots them to superstardom. And if you don't have an interesting hair color, you're a flop and you're never gonna hit. Let's talk Chapel Roan. Boom. Red hair. Boom. There she goes. Top of the charts. You have Sabrina Carpenter. She's been around forever, and then she does the bang thing, and she has an interesting hairstyle. Boom. Top of the charts. We have. It's a wig.
Ryland Adams
Have you not seen that?
Chris
Conspiracy theory.
Jared
Definitely a wig.
Ryland Adams
It's for sure away.
Chris
We were trying to figure it out. The entire concept.
Jared
No, no.
Ryland Adams
There's this whole theory going on that it's just a wig.
Shane Dawson
Yeah.
Ryland Adams
And I. I believe it. Yeah.
Chris
I was watching her flip that around at her concert, and she. It's put in really well.
Ryland Adams
It's iconic. Whatever it is. I stand Sabrina Carpenter. Love her, but I think it's awake.
Shane Dawson
It will not confirm. Yeah. We don't want to dispel the rumor today. I don't even know what a wig is, but I also don't know what not a wig is. Okay, first of all, conspiracy claws coming through with the theories.
Sandy
Well, I do think that there's a video going around with her singing the song from Wicked, and. But her hair is, like, pinned back. Right.
Ryland Adams
Well, I was gonna say, I think it's. Maybe it doesn't have extensions in. I think her hair is out in.
Sandy
That video, isn't it?
Ryland Adams
It just looks normal. There's nothing like. There's no wow factor.
Shane Dawson
Wow. Well, shout out Sabrina Carpenter and shout out all the girls with crazy hair colors. You're killing it. And wigs and wigs. Number two. The number two theory of the year is AI taking over. And this is an update on this one. Okay? So obviously, we did a whole video about it. Two videos about it AI taking over. It's happening. We're all gonna die. It's very, very scary. But there is an update. Spencer brought this to My attention, and I was floored. So, Ryland, remember the old man who I showed you the video of? And he was, like, talking about how he's a fan, and then you were like you were in love with him, and then I showed. Actually, he's not real. He was a part of this website, arcads, where you can make this fake influencer say anything you want. You remember that? Okay, well, Spencer found this.
Old Man Steve
Well, look who it is. It's old man Steve. And I am real. I'm not AI generated, which seems to be a new thing, which I don't buy into. I think there should be limits as to what people can do. And there's another channel here on YouTube. Excuse me. That did a video that included me and had me say things that I didn't say because it wasn't my voice. It was my. My body and everything. I. I don't know how they did that.
Jared
Okay, that's fake. That's scary.
Shane Dawson
No, that is real. So we fell down the rabbit hole. Old Man Steve, shout out. He has an Instagram. A tick tock. This is him. He is not AI.
Chris
They just took his likeness.
Shane Dawson
Let me show you some of his videos.
Ryland Adams
That's scary.
Sandy
Oh, my gosh. I love him.
Old Man Steve
Well, hello there. It's Magic Saturday with old man Steve. And I got this cute little monkey.
Shane Dawson
Isn't he cute?
Old Man Steve
And I'm gonna cover him up like this, and I'm gonna say, Hocus.
Ryland Adams
Atli docus.
Shane Dawson
That wasn't A.I. that was magic.
Chris
I love him. So did he sell his likeness to that company or what?
Shane Dawson
Well, before we get into that, I just want to watch a couple more Old Man Steve.
Old Man Steve
Hey there, old man Steve. I just thought I'd drop in and say hi.
Shane Dawson
Hi.
Old Man Steve
I lose my voice. What's up with that? I hope you all have a great day. Stay safe. Stay out of trouble. But I have a good time, okay? I know.
Shane Dawson
I always do anyway. Okay. Yes. So, old man Steve, here's the thing. So this is what's confusing to me. I don't want to get sued. But if he's telling the truth and if he had nothing to do with it. So that means that somebody took his tick tocks in his videos because he has some. He has, like, a presence on the Internet, and they, like, took it, submitted it to arcads, and now arkads has his likeness.
Colby
Yeah, it was really confusing because he seemed like he didn't understand that, but Archadz makes it seem like you have to, like, consent to be like. I consent to my personality. My vision image. Yeah. Likeness being, like, used and all this stuff. But, like, he didn't seem to understand. So, like, that's what I think we were so confused about is like, did something. He have like a family member trick him? Did he, like, do this? Like, I don't know what went on, but it was really interesting.
Sandy
I did think for a minute, though that it was AI because of the whole, like, coughing or, you know, trying to make him seem more real.
Colby
But the thing that.
Sandy
You never know now, the thing that.
Colby
Did it for me because I. I like, found this. I was like, this seems like AI, but he has all these props, and that's really hard to do with AI.
Shane Dawson
Speaking of props.
Colby
Yeah.
Old Man Steve
Hello there, old man Steve. Did you know that I collect Santa Claus? Well, except for the monkey. And it's not even Christmas. But I have them up year round because I think they're so cute. I've got a bunch of. This is just some of them.
Shane Dawson
That would be insane if that was AI. Honestly, AI could take over if they could do that.
Lizzy
I mean, there's no way this guy woke up one morning and thought, I'm going to be goofy on Tik Tok. He has to have a grandkid or a kid or something.
Shane Dawson
It's like, hey, I think if we.
Lizzy
I mean, we used to make videos with their grandma, right? Imagine if Tik Tok was around back then. She'd be on Tik Tok for sure, killing it. And then I think whoever told the to do that probably got approached, hey, we'll give you like five grand if you let us use a video and the likeness.
Shane Dawson
And that's probably what happened, right, old man? Steve, get your bag. Come on.
Ryland Adams
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
Okay. And here we go. The number one conspiracy of 2024. Oh, Stanley cup lie. Getting in. Surviving. Which, by the way, look at my new cup.
Chris
Did it change anything about my husband? No, no, I still. He buys them more than ever.
Shane Dawson
But I am aware that it's a big old scam and lies scam.
Chris
If it makes you happy.
Shane Dawson
No, yes. That, honestly, was the Stanley cup phenomenon. The Colts, the craziness, the fact that they. I don't know if they faked it or not, but the whole thing with the Stanley cup in the car being lit on fire, but it survived, which, like, we tested, did not work then it was. It's bulletproof. You can shoot it with a gun. Which I saw videos of people testing, did not work. So the Stanley cup craze was number one. Which, honestly, I agree. Although I will say really didn't fix me at all. Although, you know, what theory did fuck me up? Like, actually literally ended my relationship with this. The fucking salmon having worms in it he can't eat.
Chris
And that used to be, like, a staple in his.
Shane Dawson
I haven't had salmon since the fact that there could be worms in our salmon. And when you cook it and they die and it just looks like the white piece on the salmon that you just think is, like, a little something fatty or something. No, it's a fucking worm. I can't even look at it anymore.
Chris
That's me. And organic raspberries. Saw those worms, and I'm out.
Shane Dawson
So you guys go. Let us know if you agree. What was your number one conspiracy of this year? Let us know in the comments below. Okay, moving on. This is a theory that has been popping up like crazy, and I don't know if I just don't understand, like, a meme, which could be the case. Colby, I feel like you're the most tapped in with memes. Oh, is a celebrity lookalike contest.
Ryland Adams
Oh, yeah. First off, the Timothy Chalamet one where he actually showed up and people were arrested.
Shane Dawson
Crazy. Is it a meme or. Because.
Ryland Adams
No, it's not like a meme.
Jared
It's like.
Ryland Adams
It's like. Yeah, it's a moment. It's a moment.
Chris
I feel like I live on a different planet.
Jared
Yeah, there's been, like, a Timothy Chalamet one. There's one like the guy from Twisters.
Shane Dawson
What is. So Jared was talking about the celebrity clones and how if you're famous enough, you really do need a clone, because you could die and everybody working for you. You're not.
Lizzy
Body double.
Shane Dawson
Body double.
Ryland Adams
Here's the one thing I will say. The first one went viral.
Shane Dawson
Okay.
Ryland Adams
So now everyone, I feel like, is just trying to grab at something to have a moment, because the first one just kind of popped up out of nowhere, and it really just, like, the whole city went crazy for it. I want to say it was the Timothy Chandler was the first one.
Shane Dawson
Yeah.
Jared
Wasn't there a Jeremy Allen White one? That might have been before that. But it's like. Was that after the sh.
Colby
One was. Those were the two big ones.
Chris
What is it? I don't even know.
Colby
There's a.
Ryland Adams
You get a bunch of doppelgangers in one area, and whoever wins, whatever. It was like a moment.
Jared
They were doing it in New York, and they had, like, a gathering in Central park, and because they didn't have a permit for the gathering, a bunch of people were arrested. And so it became like mainstream media because of the arrests. And Timothy Shalam actually showed up.
Shane Dawson
Wait, is this Glen Powell or is this the lookalike?
Jared
There was a Glen Powell and the Glenn done.
Ryland Adams
We had a Glen Powell lookalike contest today in Austin, Texas, and the people really showed up. I wasn't sure what to expect, but we actually had a lot of great competitors.
Shane Dawson
Crazy.
Sandy
The second one.
Ryland Adams
That one in another universe. I wasn't sure. I need to go to Texas. It was a fun time. The audience cheered for their favorites. But the mom of actual Clint Powell got to choose the winner.
Sandy
No way.
Shane Dawson
Second place.
Ryland Adams
The winner was Because Top Gun, also the favorite of the audience as well.
Shane Dawson
What the fuck is going on?
Ryland Adams
I don't know, but we need to.
Sandy
Do more of whatever that Paul McCartney.
Shane Dawson
So, yeah, maybe celebrities are looking for clones of themselves. Or maybe it's just a stupid meme that I don't understand. Okay, this is a quick little one. I just thought it was kind of funny. So it's for Christmas. So you guys know what? Elf on a shelf. Yeah. Okay, so basically you put a little elf on a shelf and you tell your kids it's watching you. If you're back, your gifts are going to be shitty. He's going to tell Santa all the bad things you've done. And then you move the elf every day so it thinks your kid is like, oh, my God, the elf is moving. It's everywhere. I think it's fucking creepy. Well, the theory is that this idea was brought into a world to normalize being constantly surveillance to our kids. So when they grow up, they're going to be used to it and not question why they're constantly being surveillance, why there's elves everywhere. Which honestly I kind of believe that. Because, yeah, kids growing because we didn't grow up with elf on a shelf. And now I'm like, my fucking phone is listening to me. Kids in the future are gonna be like, of course my phone's listening.
Lizzy
And most babies are on baby monitors.
Jared
And we had furbies since babyhood.
Lizzy
Since infancy.
Shane Dawson
Yes. Well, there you go. Okay, so I asked in the group chat, I was like, does anybody have any theories that are like, too crazy banned, you know, Lizzie.
Jared
So. So there's a theory that dinosaurs perhaps did not really exist. And one of the things that, like, backs that up for me is I heard on the street that none of the dinosaur bones in museums are actually fucking real.
Shane Dawson
What?
Jared
Like, they're all replicas of the bones. We're like, show me the bones.
Ryland Adams
You're taking the information from the street.
Shane Dawson
That's where we need to start.
Jared
Listen, we don't learn it in schools. We learn it in the streets. And that's why we need a complete overhaul of our educational system because I. I am a victim of this circumstance.
Shane Dawson
Hold on. So you think you alone, as your entity, not us, think that dinosaurs are fake? So what was. What's the point of that?
Jared
Well, is that.
Lizzy
Is that what you got for it?
Ryland Adams
So what's the asteroid head?
Jared
Well, that's also maybe not real, but.
Ryland Adams
They found the impact area.
Jared
Well then. Well, that's the difference.
Shane Dawson
They could have dug a hole.
Colby
Yeah, dug a big hole.
Chris
I've seen Jurassic Park.
Jared
How do we know what dinosaur skin looked like? Do you know what I mean? How do we know that something that.
Ryland Adams
We can't talk about. They didn't know whether or not it was like feathers or things like that because we've never been able.
Shane Dawson
All these drawings are.
Jared
Sorry for. I'm just. No, I'm bursting at the seat here. But I will say, like, you don't know. And then it's like if you show me the skeleton of a cat, but you draw it under the guise of like it's a dinosaur, like it's gonna look freaky deaky too, right? But there's so, like, there's no reason why we know. Like, well, this one had like a really red spots on its knuckles. Like nobody knows that.
Chris
Was it your theory that there weren't dinosaurs and now you're on the other end?
Jared
No, I'm just saying that it's a little sus. Like it's a little bit like plug your nose and take this information and then repeat it as though it's facts. But it's like, again, it's just another stupid feeling I have. But like on the simplest level, it's like, how do you know what they looked like? You know what I mean?
Shane Dawson
The village of dinosaurs are often very well preserved indeed. But that's not the case with the skin or the soft parts. So imagining what they looked like has been largely a matter of guesswork. So what would. Okay, so if dinosaurs were. And I'm going there. Let's go in. If dinosaurs are fake, what. What's the purpose of creating this fake world that we used to have dinosaurs.
Chris
So that I can have a nursery that's dinosaur themed, period.
Shane Dawson
So that our boys could love dinosaurs.
Chris
I love dinosaurs.
Shane Dawson
I don't know Jurassic park could exist.
Jared
I mean, I do love Jurassic Park.
Ryland Adams
The merchandise alone.
Shane Dawson
Yes.
Jared
Yeah, I don't Know, I never thought about it that deep. I told you, it's all very basic.
Lizzy
On my side, it's because it was after like Darwinism started and evolution started. So this proves if Something went extinct 65 million years ago now, we could put a timeline of billions of years on the earth. Because think about evolution and it's perfect sense. Nothing gets bigger. It only takes more resources for something that's bigger to exist. Like an ancient ant can live off of what, a grain of sand a month? But a human, it takes us a lot more than that. So what if dinosaurs were the ultimate first creatures and they evolved into being lizard people and now run the planet?
Ryland Adams
I'm down for that.
Jared
Wait, is that just your theory or is that real? Because honestly, it is making a lot of sense to me right now.
Shane Dawson
Well, let us know. Do you believe dinosaurs existed or do you think it was all fake? Is, is this video gonna get demonetized? I don't really know. It's a gamble. Okay, well, that was actually interesting. Thank you Lizzie and Jared for breaking down the dinosaurs or fake theory.
Lizzy
I may have a video on it on my channel.
Shane Dawson
Check it out. Okay. Speaking of some of our favorite things from this year, I would say one of my all time favorite things is Sandy's new life is a true crimer. Because when you break down a true crime story on this podcast, people fucking stop what they're doing to listen. You are good at this.
Sandy
I had no idea. So thank you.
Lizzy
Her preparation was so intense. On the way here, there is almost.
Colby
A true crime story.
Lizzy
He tried to break your concentration?
Sandy
Yeah, yeah, he tried talking to me. I said, I can't talk right now.
Shane Dawson
Okay, so you have prepared a story. The final true crime story of the year.
Sandy
Yes. So this story is gonna start with this man named Bruce. Bruce.
Chris
Bruce Jenner.
Sandy
Bruce Jeffrey Prado. He's in his 40s, he is an engineer and he was single. Thank you. Until his co worker introduces him to a woman named Sylvia Ortega. Now Sylvia Ortega, she's a single mom, she has three kids and they hit it off. They end up getting married about two years later. And then within like nine months of their marriage, she wants to like get a joint account. So he tells her that he doesn't want to do a joint account because she decided to have these kids and he does not want to be responsible for them financially and tells her, you decide to have these kids so you take care of them. And so things start changing. He starts becoming more controlling, but on the outside everything looks great. They end up Purchasing a home. And you know, they're just living life. But on the inside, he's controlling and he's rude. And so she just kind of plays along, right? She's like, okay, you're right, I'll pay for my own kids. You know, they split everything 50, 50. Well, taxes start coming around and so she starts looking into, you know, just paperwork and ends up finding out that Bruce has a kid. So Bruce, prior to their relationship, had a child with this woman. And very creepily, something happened to his child. He ended up drowning, but he didn't die. They sent him to the hospital and he ended up becoming brain dead. So Jeffrey, when they find, when him and this woman that had this kid, he had this kid with, find out that his kid's brain dead, he ends up leaving. He leaves this woman, leaves the child, leaves them with this like $300,000 debt and just flees. He just never looks back. So when Sylvia finds this out, she, you know, addresses it to him. He ends up telling her the truth. Truth. And so then she's like, you know what, I gotta get away from this guy. Like, this is way too much. So she ends up moving in with his, with her parents. Through the divorce, he has to pay her about $3,700 a month. And unfortunately he never ends up paying her because the next month he ends up getting fired from his job. So that happens in May, in June, Bruce ends up going and purchasing a gun. Not just. And then in the same month, he ends up going to get a tailored Santa suit.
Shane Dawson
What?
Sandy
Okay, so every. So in every 30 days we have a live reenactment? No, every 30 days. Every 30 days he ends up purchasing a new gun.
Shane Dawson
What?
Sandy
Every 30 days. He even goes out of state because he doesn't want to like set off any alarms. Well, Christmas day eve happens around 11:30pm he goes to the parents house, he ends up knocking on the door because they're having Christmas. There's about 25 to 30 people there. He knocks on the door. Katrina opens the door, he shoots her twice in the face. Everybody just starts scrambling around trying to get away from him. He starts just shooting everybody after that.
Lizzy
As Santa.
Sandy
As Santa Claus. After that he goes into his bag, he pulls out like an air compressor that he somehow made into a. A fire blower. A torch. I'm sorry, a torch. He lights up the whole house on fire. And the only thing is that he didn't think that their fireplaces are going to be on, but because they were on, and the way the gas interacts with it, his. His suit starts catching on fire. So he runs off into his car and he heads out, but everybody's just in scramble. They're either on, you know, I don't want to get too graphic, but it gets pretty bad. People are jumping out through the windows. And Sylvia's sister ends up going next door and calls the police and says, hey, my daughter's been shot. You need to come hurry.
Chris
My daughter's been shot.
Shane Dawson
She was shot in the face on the side and she's bleeding.
Sandy
And so the police get there, they tell them, hey, it's my brother in law. He did this, like, please go get him. So it didn't take long before Bruce's brother calls the police and says, you need to come to my house. My brother is in on my couch and there's blood everywhere. But he was laying on the couch and he had a gunshot to his head. So he had killed himself. He had like $17,000 strapped onto his leg. You could tell that he was trying to take the suit off of him because he had burns all over his body. The suit had like melted into his skin. And. And so the police ended up going to his car that he had rented and noticed that he had set booty traps all over inside of that car. So they, the bomb squad came in and with the robot they ended up, the car ended up blowing up. And so they ended up going to his house to investigate. Like, what is going on? How did this come about? They find tickets to Canada and so they figured, okay, he was planning to do this and then head over to Canada with this money on his leg in a Santa suit. And then what happens after that is that then Sylvia's lawyer calls and says, there is this unfamiliar car in front of my house. It's been there for days. Like, please come and check this out. So they think it's another car with a booby trap and it's gonna blow up. So they go and they realize that was his real getaway car. His whole plan was to convince the police that he was going going to Canada, but really he was going to go to Mexico. I guess there was maps of like Mexico. There was clothes, there was more money. So the plan was that he was gonna go kill the lawyer, take the car and head out of town.
Lizzy
Dude, what if he found another person, lit them on fire, put them in a Santa Claus outfit, shot them in the head on his couch. And Bruce actually did get away because he had a third getaway car that nobody knew about.
Jared
Are you, you, Bruce.
Sandy
Continue the Crazy thing, though, about that story, which is horrible. I mean, horrible is that Sylvia. So the people that passed away ended up being Sylvia. Her parents, her two brothers, their wives, her sister. So she only had one sister left that, you know, survived. And the girl that got shot twice survived.
Shane Dawson
Wow.
Sandy
And she. She's a gun control activist, and she's been at most of the events of school shootings, like talking to the news and telling them how important it is about gun control.
Jared
You're left here on this earth for a reason.
Shane Dawson
You're left here for a purpose. And your job is to keep fighting.
Jared
And to shine that light on everybody.
Shane Dawson
Else that has been affected.
Jared
Being able to really fight for something that is truly, truly close to my.
Shane Dawson
Heart is very different.
Sandy
So it's pretty crazy how her life kind of under.
Shane Dawson
You know, that is one of the craziest things I've ever heard.
Sandy
Yeah, that is a little choppy. That was a little choppy at first.
Lizzy
And the fact that Bruce can still be out there.
Shane Dawson
That is. I don't want to clap for that.
Colby
Well, it's a good story.
Lizzy
Well, you clap for her ability to convey stuff.
Shane Dawson
Yeah, I will clap for that.
Jared
Right.
Shane Dawson
And for the girl to survive.
Lizzy
Yeah.
Shane Dawson
That was insane. Well, speaking of villainous masterminds, I thought.
Chris
You were gonna say Bruce. That is my middle name.
Sandy
What?
Shane Dawson
Let's get to a recap. The final recap of the year.
Chris
Wow.
Lizzy
You gotta recap the whole year?
Shane Dawson
The whole thing. You ready? Light, camera, action. Violent recap is about to happen.
Chris
On today's episode of the Shane Dawson podcast. Gay Santa. Colby's here. And I really thought to end out the year, Chris was playing with that pot. I thought he was just gonna smash it and break the glass of our fireplace. It would have shocked us all.
Shane Dawson
Oh. Shout out kroc.
Chris
Oh, hey, kroc, you buttholes.
Lizzy
You more like butthole rock, I think you spin this. Are you having a hard time going to sleep?

A new winner has been crowned in the Christmas version of mafia. And no surprise, it's me, the winner. Hello. I almost lost not one but two friends and one husband throughout, trying to win artwork reveal. Were you guys getting sick of that old Shane Dawson podcast art? It was sickening. Were you tired?

Because this new cover art that was just revealed today is stunning, fabulous, iconic, and beautiful. Thank you, Kobe. Okay, special correspondent Jared wants to recap our secret Santa.
Jared
Throwing Mr. Jared in the field.
Lizzy
It was a big controversy on who would stay on budget. Of course Jared did. Spencer did not. I don't know about everybody else, but I would say that the best gifts were probably received by Shane. The underwear on the head, the game, the gay thing in general. Secret Santa was a success. I stayed on budget and possibly got the best gifts.
Shane Dawson
How much were the Shrek? Is the price tag on the Shrek slippers?
Colby
It says under 20 right here.

We know.
