I guess I could start, you know, because. Yeah, and ghosts, I guess if there's some ghost. Ghosts, I guess. Do they celebrate things like that? I guess they do. Yeah. I wonder if it's fun celebrating something if you're a ghost or not. Like, I wonder if you have a lot of friends if you're a ghost. Because a lot of times people see one ghost, we're like, oh, we caught, you know, somebody saw this ghost or whatever. He was hiding behind a tree or something. He was just being scared, you know. You know, like, oh, just doing vowels or whatever. Just, you know, but they never like, oh yeah, we saw some, some ghosts, some dope ass ghosts that were just bawling, that were hooping or something or just like, yeah, we saw some ghosts. They were vaping and, you know, laughing together and maybe splitting a brownie or something or just doing like something fun. Okay. Yeah, I don't know. I never really thought about that. What are. Yeah, so I don't.

Anyway, doesn't matter. All that matters is, is the spirit, the spirit of Christmas. That's what's going on right now. It's that time you hear the music. That's what gets me into it. You know, they say it's Christmas and they say it's Christmas. Now a lot of the, a lot of the radio channels now, it's like very Latino, you know, it's like they said, the newborn king, bum, bum, and then you'll have one. That's what's up, bro. Last night we let the liquor talk. But, yeah, I love the Christmas, Mo. The Christmas. The energy. That's what I got to embrace. You know, see somebody and you just. Just give them a little hug. Or if they don't like you to hug them, I'll do this. Sometimes I still take two hands, tap them on the shoulder like that. Give them that little penguin hug, that little. That little perverted butterfly hug. Just. Just let them. Some people don't like a damn hug. Some people don't like a hug. And sometimes I don't. Sometimes I'm a cactus. Don't touch me. But sometimes I just want to. I just. I just want a hug. I won't ask for a hug, though. That's who I am. I ain't no hoe. You feel me? Sorry. I know Santa gets offended if you say, I ain't no hoe, because that's his thing. But, yeah, you know, I won't ask for a hug. I'll stand by you and look like I need a hug or do some shit or just do some shit like this. You know, what's up. But I won't be the one to ask for a hug. But I'll need a hug. But I won't ask for a hug. Now I'll stand by you like, you know, I'll loiter. I'll loiter right around your arms and chest. But I won't ask for that hug. But I need it. But I won't ask for it. So that's kind of who I am. Let's listen to a little music to get us in the spirit. And then we're just going to get into some calls from you guys and thank you so much. Thank you so much for just letting us be together right now. It's really nice. Here we go, right here. This is some sounds we like to check out every year. And this is Christmas Miracle by One man quartet. That's nice. What's happening, homes? This is like nighttime kind of. There's a candle. Maybe this is Santa. We're waiting for Santa. Everything's out and the kids are asleep. This is kind of just the ambiance that's in the energy downstairs. If you sneak downstairs and look at the tree, That was the most fun. That was the most fun as a kid was sneaking down there. And look, you'd be like, oh, is he here yet? And you knew he wasn't there. It was just like 10:30 at night, the Christmas Eve and you go down there and you. My siblings would all like. We had to come down the stairs and then go, like around the edge of the wall. And then you could kind of see the living room and stuff. There was still like the dent, like a little dinner table. But then you had. Then you could see the. The living room and. Yeah, that was. It was just like, is here did he come? And we would all kind of like, bottleneck at the bottom of the stairs in our pajamas. And. And we would like. We would be like, do. No, you're not going. You're not going. And our sisters, they were little, so they were like, you know, they didn't have any rights or whatever at the time because they were women also. And. And so we had to like, you're not going. We'll tell you what we see, you know, and they're like, tell us why, you say. And then we sneak around. And then. And then once we got around. My brother was older than me, so then he took jurisdiction, you know. But he also had bad eyesight. He was born, I think he didn't have. His levels in. His eyes were off. He had, you know, he didn't have enough water in his eyes or something. So he'd have to, you know, he'd have to splash water in his eyes every 40 minutes so he could even get a gander at anything. I remember at his birthday, he'd miss the candles if he didn't rub a little bit of water in his eyes. Just to kind of, you know, sometimes if you. If you heat up some. If you heat up some leftovers, like, I'll drip a little water on them. That's how. That's me. I'll crack open a leftover. If it's in a container, I'll pour, you know, about a 11th of a cup of water on that. Whatever. I don't care what it is. Lasagna, piece of bread, whatever. Sassia, whatever's going on, you know, hint us, hint of spice, hint of tomato, I will pour. I'll just drip that out and then put it in the micro and bam. But that was like my brother, if he. If we didn't, you know, if mom didn't spray a little bit of water in his eyes right before he blew out the candles on his birthday cake, he'd miss that bitch. He'd just be spraying a. He'd spray. Just. Just be spraying a cold right out into the distance. Miss a whole cake. But anyway, so at that point, you know, we. My brother would be like. And once it Once we turned the corner of the stairs, it was me and him. So my sisters were, like, at the back, and. And they didn't know shit, and they only knew what we told them. And we lied to them because we were family. And so we would go and have to get closer to the tree and sneak up. And my mom's bedroom was right off of the living room, and so we had to be quiet. And the carpet was kind of wet because our apartment was sinking a little bit, like, by the kitchen area. And so you bro. Your knees would start getting all wet, you know? But it helped my brother because he could just put his hands into the carpet and then rub them into his eyes and activate those bitches. So we would get closer and be like, is he here? Is he here? And then we would just see. We would see the tree and the lights, and it would just kind of look like it had during the daytime a little bit, like, definitely more mysterious and nighttimey. And the stockings and it was all just kind of magical. It was just, like a thing of, like, possibility, you know, what were we gonna get? What was gonna happen tomorrow? Everything was gonna be great. Something new was coming, you know, it was just. Yeah, there was just. I don't know. There was just something just so magical about that scenario. And I remember we had the colored lights on the Christmas tree, and I didn't really like them. They looked a little cheesy, I thought, sometimes. But at this time at night, it just looked kind of nice. And the stockings just hanging there. And he'd be like, oh, we'd have to just uphold. Go back. Go back. My brother would be like, go back, you little. Or whatever. And I'm like, what? And we get back to the stairs, and my sisters would be like, what did you see? And we'd be like, fuck you. You don't know shit. Yeah, we just said that's the kind of family we were. And. But, yeah, there was just something beautiful about it. But no, we'd be like, he's not here. Or sometimes we would do this. Yes, all the gifts are out there. He already came, but you guys have to go to bed. We would kind of take this superior role with a lie. He'd be like, he already came, but you guys have to go to bed. Or, maybe he's not coming. I don't know. We're one of y' all bad this year. What have you guys been doing? Who's been showing their tits or whatever out on the street right by the highway? Because we did live by a Highway right next to that bitch. Like, if your hair was wet in the morning, you could put it right outside. If they're, like, right hanging out the window of the apartment. And in the morning, you know, that was high traffic time. And if enough semis went by this. The wind would whip up and just dry your shit right into a beautiful look. God, you'd look good. And people are like, what do you have in your hair? You're like, fucking 18 speed. You know, I got a damn. I got a damn mat. I got. Oh, just new Wins off a Mack truck, so. But that was fun, man. That was a good time. And that. That music reminds me of that a little bit. God, those memories were nice, you know, Memories are so nice because it can really take you into a place. Oh, this is another. This is another song. This is hip hop. Ready for Christmas. Let's listen to a little bit of this. Okay. Type. Christmas. Okay, this one. Christmas is gonna get a little bit black. You know what I'm saying? Santa pulling up a. This the kind of look like. Say if you're a white guy and you see it, you're in high school and you see your sister talking to. Flirting with a black guy, and you're okay with it. This is the kind of music that backs that up. Like, all right, okay, go ahead, Allison. She doing her. So that's. That kind of. That's a Christmas beat right there. I feel like that kind of fits, you know? Yeah. If you see your sister flirting with black guys at school and you are okay with it, that's that heartbeat right there. That black heartbeat, Dude. You ever heard a black heartbeat? That. This different, bro. Go put your ear up to a black guy's chest, dude. Which I know sounds very dangerous, right? Overall, it's. Yeah. Black. They're not going to welcome that. They're not. They're not going to do it. You know, a lot of them turn. Turn into that guy. Who's that guy on that place for Golden State or whatever that always beat people. And the media acted like it was okay all the time. He would just punch white dudes. Draymond. Yes. Yes. That dude. That. Yeah. Which shit seemed hella racial to me. But. But, yeah, that dude, that was always. Or so. I think he did hit a mixed guy also. But, yeah. So I'm just saying, some guys, you could put your ear up to their chest, they'll be. They might be okay with it. Some guys might get Draymond on you, but I think a black heartbeat is different. That got drums. It got probably some 808 trap beat. Like, if you ever go to a doctor's office and he puts the stethoscope and he puts it up to a black guy's heart, he'll listen sometimes for 20 minutes. There's different tracks. There's. You'll have somebody feature on somebody's heartbeat. You're like, holy. This heartbeat has. There's a. You know, there's little dirks on it. You know, this is. There's young boy and Bailey Zimmerman, like, what's going on? So, like, damn. Holy. What do you. You got some big X to plug in you. So there's that. That happens where. Oh, the white heartbeat is just like. But that black heartbeat, that's just got. It's got symbols, it's got. It's just got different, you know, it's got different level. They got a horn section. That shit's trapping, bro. So that's what I'm saying, bro. This has a little bit of that black heartbeat vibe right here. Yui, yui. Seea say you wing. So there we go. A little bit more Christmas music right there. Getting into it. We did have some calls that came in. The hotline is always 985-664-9503. And we had talked about some things in the last episode. We'd spoken about, you know, people doing different challenges. There was Movember, where you grow out a mustache for epilepsy or whatever. I can't remember. Or there was six June or whatever. What was it? Sixteen June. Yeah, 16 June, where people were only doing 16 defecates in June for. To support seizures or whatever. I'm not even sure what it was. I think it was seizures. Let me see. Let me look that up. Six. Sixteen. Sorry. Sixteen. Shit. Four seizures. Yeah, yeah, for seizures. So you had that. You had no nut November. You had 40 fart march. You had all these different things that people are trying to do to support, to raise causes, you know, like, remember a couple years ago, they were dumping ice on. On people with down syndrome or whatever to help him out. But yeah. Anyway, we had some calls in with people saying, well, what were the. What were similar things like that that they'd had in their town? Is there another one that you remember, Trevin? I think it was actually 11June to get specific.
