From New York, it's Get Off My War with Kevin McGinnis.
00:00:43.000
That was a time when you could swear in pop songs.
00:00:50.000
And then we become so uptight in our modern age.
00:01:08.000
Like, it gets you in the Christmas spirit because this woman's not messing around.
00:01:27.000
Put your tongue down my throat if you're near the mistletoe.
00:01:35.000
That's why I get annoyed when the Jews and the Buddhists and the atheists don't put shit up on their lawn.
00:01:40.000
That's kind of a, I could take that as a bit of a fuck you to me.
00:01:58.000
I went to Diker Heights, which is deep in Brooklyn.
00:02:06.000
I guess I won't include them with my kids because we live in a psychotic society where my children can't be identified.
00:02:14.000
I forget what I saw recently and they showed their kids and I was like, oh, what are you doing?
00:02:33.000
There's Puerto Ricans and there's Irish and stuff.
00:02:46.000
We're not doing a very good job here of entertaining people.
00:02:55.000
It's kind of a tough, very old school Brooklyn.
00:02:57.000
Like, guys who grew up there in Diker Heights, we're right by Coney Island and stuff, like the Warriors.
00:03:10.000
And so they want to, and they have construction shit going on.
00:03:13.000
So they'll take a few supplies from the job, a bit of drywall, and bring it to the house they're building.
00:03:20.000
And they build these monolithic McMansions that are fucking ridiculous.
00:03:27.000
I wouldn't want to live in one, but like a Greek column that's as big as this building.
00:03:33.000
You don't know this building, but like you would die if you fell from the top of it.
00:03:40.000
You know, back in Rome, they'd have the slaves do that.
00:03:48.000
Because he was in his driveway getting something from his truck.
00:03:52.000
I said, like, I put up Christmas lights in my house.
00:03:55.000
I would be, I don't like putting up stuff super high where you'll die if you fall.
00:04:06.000
You can't really see it, but the very tippity top.
00:04:12.000
I'm getting like seasick just talking about it.
00:04:19.000
And I realize, oh, you hired a bunch of Mexicans to do this.
00:04:23.000
In my old neighborhood, in Brooklyn, there was a house where the guy spent $10,000 a year.
00:04:30.000
And he spent $10,000 on his decorations every year.
00:05:01.000
They didn't have to deal with the myths and the legends.
00:05:04.000
So I guess Chinese people are getting rich, and they're very mathematical.
00:05:10.000
They have the abacus, and they just go, this is the best value for my dollar.
00:05:18.000
The traffic, if you hit traffic going to Diker Heitzenbach, it's AIDS.
00:05:22.000
It's 45 minutes or it's half an hour from the city, but with traffic, it's like three fucking hours.
00:05:29.000
I would just get up at two in the morning, which I guess the Chinese do.
00:05:46.000
That's like, I wanted the floor of the studio to be this, and the guy kind of gipped me off.
00:05:55.000
No, you know, like when you want to encase something in lacquer or ever helped me with something I can't remember ever since the day you were born.
00:06:21.000
That little grouch, Oscar the Grouch, there, must be, I would say, 40 bucks.
00:06:26.000
So it adds up 40, 80, 120, 160, 200, 240, 280, like 300 bucks a shit floating around.
00:06:35.000
So, what they do is, and I think they also do this so they don't blow over, they tie a fishing line to it.
00:06:41.000
A lot of firemen out there, too, which is good because firemen will do like a 30-hour shift, 48-hour shift.
00:06:46.000
So, they're not really worried about traffic, right?
00:06:47.000
You go to weird time, 2 in the morning, you do your crazy shift, you come back at 2 in the morning, it works for them.
00:06:55.000
So, what they do is they have fishing line intertwangled, I invented that word, intertwangled around each other.
00:07:01.000
So, say you grab Oscar, you're grabbing the whole kit in Caboodle.
00:07:04.000
And I also noticed there was a security dude there.
00:07:09.000
I guess if, you know, I've had security guys in my house.
00:07:35.000
Hey, computer, what's Italian for Merry Christmas?
00:07:52.000
Hey, computer, do you relay my private conversations to the FBI?
00:08:02.000
Hey, computer, do you have any correspondence with the FBI or law enforcement?
00:08:14.000
When the season is about goodwill and cheer, you can count on me to celebrate.
00:08:31.000
And like I've always said, I don't get big houses.
00:08:40.000
So I understand if you got 12 kids, but what if you don't?
00:08:47.000
Okay, your dining room table must be 30 feet long.
00:08:56.000
I lived in a house so big that I had to text my kids when it was bedtime because I didn't know where the fuck they were.
00:09:03.000
That's what I was talking about, by the way, when I said expensive.
00:09:10.000
There's a gingerbread man and a gingerbread woman.
00:09:20.000
Those are really nice things that could be in the window at Macy's.
00:09:37.000
Ryan and I did a Secret Santa here at the studio.
00:09:50.000
I will introduce the Censored TV Annual Secret Center.
00:10:27.000
There's the gingerbread, and then we're back to this guy.
00:10:36.000
You know, it's a long drive, but I purposely chose, I told the kids no screens, and it was a really good time because they had no choice but to talk to me.
00:10:46.000
It's weird, having teenagers and a young kid, the things you make them do, the memories you create, aren't necessarily fun.
00:11:01.000
Like, they like their drugs, their crack, which is Fortnite MLB the show, watching some old flavor of love, playing.
00:11:10.000
I'm including all my kids here and all their weird things they're into.
00:11:16.000
It's sort of like Amy Winehouse in that documentary where she's winning an award.
00:11:19.000
And she goes, this is so, she whispers to her friend, this is so fucking boring without drugs.
00:11:24.000
So you're taking away their drugs and you're doing something else.
00:11:27.000
But when they look back, they're not going to look back at Fortnite and M.L.B. The show.
00:11:30.000
They'll look back at when their dad took them to Diker Heights or when they went skiing.
00:11:34.000
I don't know if they thoroughly enjoy the actual act of skiing.
00:11:46.000
It's a bizarre phenomenon where the things that are best for them are not the things they enjoy the most.
00:11:54.000
She's just like, I wish this microphone was a syringe.
00:12:14.000
But even Christmas with the whole family, like, does everyone enjoys it, especially the moms.
00:12:20.000
But do they really, does everyone else really enjoy it the way they enjoy their favorite thing?
00:12:25.000
And then I started thinking, I'm not sure I even enjoy my favorite thing.
00:12:34.000
It's not like anyone's going like this during a BJ.
00:12:37.000
So that's like indisputably good, feeling good, great.
00:12:44.000
But like, when you're, I like being in my old man bar sitting around.
00:12:48.000
Sometimes I'm talking to people that I normally wouldn't be friends with in normal life, or I'm just watching Law and Order with the sound off, and I'm trying to follow the plot with no subtitles.
00:13:04.000
At least with heroin, you're definitely enjoying yourself.
00:13:20.000
For once, Detective Shitty brings up something good.
00:13:28.000
And when I had my last kid, when he was on his diapers, and he was getting to be like whatever the age is two when they run out, every diaper, I was like, this could be the last diaper I ever do in my life.
00:13:42.000
Unless I get some grandbaby diapers, which I don't think I'll make it that far.
00:13:51.000
It's like that saying, Cormac McCarthy said, there's no joy at the tavern as great as the road there too.
00:13:58.000
A lot of the stuff we enjoy isn't necessarily joyful.
00:14:03.000
Like salt and vinegar chips or like spicy burritos that hurt your mouth or rough sex.
00:14:12.000
Yeah, hot sauce, come to think of it, I enjoy putting hot sauce on stuff, but it's not fun.
00:14:18.000
And I always, if I have a burrito and there's no sriracha or hot or Tabasco around, I'm not eating it.
00:14:36.000
Anyway, speaking of joy, this is a short app, you know, just a Christmas app.
00:14:40.000
We wanted to squeeze it in here because we love Christmas.
00:14:49.000
And judging by the amount of boxes by your desk, Ryan, I think you got me a lot of...
00:15:08.000
It's not about the children of the lie will tell you that Christmas is about presents and commerciality.
00:15:23.000
But the thing I kind of like about it is the ambiguity with the commercialism.
00:15:45.000
So we pulled that in, and I kind of see them as trophies as Christianity-dominated paganism.
00:15:51.000
Almost like a snowball at the top of a hill, and then you keep rolling it.
00:15:59.000
And then all the paganism and commercialization and Santa Claus and the Nordic God and the reindeer.
00:16:11.000
Like people go, take down the Confederate statues.
00:16:18.000
It's all, you know, we have this obsession in 2021, about to be 2022, where we want to sanitize everything.
00:16:26.000
But the moral of today's show is take the crunchy with the smooth.
00:16:30.000
You know, it's like when I made my mom make mints and tatties without anything in the mints but mints.
00:16:37.000
I liked the vegetables I don't like in the mints.
00:16:40.000
So you got to include the Confederate statutes.
00:16:45.000
It's all the messes that we all went through that brought us together today.
00:17:03.000
So we used to take like a Bisquick or like a pancake batter and we used to lay it on the floor and then make little snow lumps.
00:17:14.000
We couldn't afford carrots neither, but we had a...
00:17:17.000
I don't even want to get there, but make a snow lump out of the blizzard.
00:17:22.000
You don't want to tell me what you used for carrots?
00:17:27.000
You were on a show recently with Jesse Lee Peterson.
00:17:33.000
I don't have a clip of it yet, but if you go to Matt Andrews' YouTube, I think he should be putting it out.
00:17:47.000
He doesn't like saying ho because he's against prostitution.
00:17:56.000
We let the kids open one present on Christmas Eve.
00:18:00.000
My youngest son chose the weirdest present he's ever asked for.
00:18:07.000
And he said, I want to make sure that's the present I open on Christmas Eve.
00:18:13.000
It was a very loud night and a very loud morning.
00:18:28.000
I think we have tapped out just about everything except I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas.
00:18:38.000
Okay, well, thanks for coming on the show, Dinesh.
00:19:10.000
You know, the girl for the Technotronic video, this song, Yakid K, I believe her name is.
00:19:19.000
And they didn't want her in the video because she wasn't pretty enough.
00:19:30.000
You write a hit, number one hit song, and people are like, that's great.
00:19:33.000
Oh, well, I better get my hair and makeup done.
00:19:54.000
Dude, that's one of the oldest toys in the world.
00:20:05.000
Because around here, you start getting nervous.
00:20:19.000
See, I grew up with a foreskin, so I'm fine with stretching things.
00:20:28.000
I didn't grow up with the Star Wars toys because we couldn't afford them.
00:20:32.000
No, we could afford them, but they just didn't get them.
00:20:37.000
I hate to, you know, salad daze my youth over yours, but my stretch Armstrong.
00:20:49.000
You'd take a vacuum and put it on his head, suck all the air out, and then he was like, you could mold him and he stays.
00:21:50.000
I bet that was a chemist who discovered this sort of stretchy polymer.
00:21:53.000
He was going for something else, like a new type of insulation.
00:21:56.000
And his boss said, this is fucking useless, dummy.
00:22:00.000
And then his son said, Dad, you can make it into a stretchy guy, and it's a toy.
00:22:07.000
We were going for the most intense glue on earth.
00:22:13.000
And then someone goes, just make it a post-it note.
00:22:22.000
Because that's obviously what I knew everyone wants to see.
00:22:27.000
And then we'll go through your tons of presents.
00:22:46.000
You know, hockey tape is kind of a tacky thing to put on a present.
00:22:49.000
I don't mean to look a gift horse in the brain, but...
00:23:08.000
Don't tell me that you're going to re-gift it, but yeah.
00:23:22.000
Did you know Co-op City used to be a bigger amusement park than Disneyland?
00:23:47.000
It was bigger than, so it was the guys that worked for Walt Disney.
00:23:50.000
And when that was, that seemed like a pipe dream.
00:23:53.000
They didn't think that Walt could pull it off and stuff like that.
00:23:55.000
And this crew splintered off, and they went ahead, and in the Bronx, New York, they constructed this thing called Freedom Land.
00:24:04.000
It was the shape of the United States of America.
00:24:07.000
It had Colorado, Florida, Louisiana, San Francisco, New York, like a mini, like it's a small world.
00:24:15.000
That would be funny if the gays sort of gravitated to the San Francisco area.
00:24:22.000
They had Indians and cowboys, and they had the Chicago fire.
00:24:29.000
And every hour it would burn up, and they would have Chicago firemen come out.
00:24:36.000
So they had like an asbestos building that could take fire 20 hours a day.
00:24:42.000
And the people could run up and try to put the fire out and pump it.
00:24:46.000
Well, you said there was already a San Francisco section.
00:24:58.000
And I grew up on the burial ground of a huge amusement city.
00:25:05.000
That's why I always think it's such a fun city, and I never know why.
00:25:07.000
It's just buildings and some space and parks between it.
00:25:12.000
So eventually it just went broke because they had to shut down for like November.
00:25:19.000
Like golf courses here in New York are open till late December.
00:25:25.000
So let's say you got to shut down December, January, February, maybe March.
00:25:38.000
Or have Snowland, like turn it all into like Alaska.
00:25:45.000
And so this is Co-op City, and it's the largest housing cooperative in the world.
00:25:54.000
Well, it was better before the Mavros moved in.
00:26:02.000
Need a stiff one, it says, and it's underwear that's like beer.
00:26:21.000
This is usually what my underwear looks like, folks at home.
00:26:28.000
It looks like you're kind of enhancing your genitals.
00:26:33.000
It's a switcher bigger than a finger, actually.
00:26:42.000
You know, my son, my teen son, had a Secret Santa, and he got his buddy Hooters underwear.
00:26:54.000
And I said to him, I'm going to give you a joke, and you can have this.
00:27:01.000
Especially for a roast, but yeah, overall, yeah.
00:27:07.000
Just say, I got you these because you like tits.
00:27:12.000
Now, these are 13-year-olds, so tits and liking tits is kind of taboo.
00:27:26.000
I go, okay, you just threw $200 in the garbage.
00:27:31.000
What if he says no, uses it and doesn't pay you?
00:27:47.000
That would be a fun job working at Spencer's Gifts and just meeting all the people who are pitching the shit.
00:27:59.000
You sound like someone who gets beaten every time they pronounce the word sock store wrong.
00:28:03.000
And you're like sweating and you go, I actually got that at a sock store.
00:28:11.000
The teacher telling me to enunciate what she's got a ruler.
00:28:17.000
Because I brought the ice maker home because they were renovating our kitchen, we didn't have an add ice in the studio.
00:28:23.000
So I've been having bourbon neat, and through repetition, I'm becoming a bourbon neat nigga.
00:28:41.000
They're renovating our kitchen, and the guy, the contractor, he goes, can I ask you something?
00:28:45.000
He says to my wife, this is how contractors talk to women, too.
00:28:52.000
And so I just came in because I hadn't left for work yet.
00:28:54.000
And I'm like, if I was a light, I'd be going through this intense existential crisis where I had a consciousness, but I couldn't communicate.
00:29:04.000
So I would try, maybe I'd flicker every time they said the word light.
00:29:09.000
But if that didn't work, like I couldn't convey my existence, I would want to kill myself.
00:29:17.000
I'd want to electrocute myself, but then they just fix me.
00:29:21.000
So I think it would be worse than hell to be a light and to exist and have intelligence, but be unable to convey your existence to anyone, be unable to relate to anyone, be unable to communicate.
00:29:33.000
And he goes, he goes, I just want to know where to put the light.
00:29:42.000
And I brought it up with my kids, and then my kids reminded me of this horrific nightmare of a book that was my in-laws own it, and they used to read it to my wife, and then they read it to the kids.
00:29:55.000
You ever heard of this book where there's a fucking donkey, and he becomes a rock?
00:30:09.000
So it's a donkey walking along, mining his own beeswax, and then he accidentally makes a wish, like, could I be a rock?
00:30:23.000
And his parents are bawling their eyes out because their son disappeared.
00:30:27.000
And then I think maybe, I don't know, 11, 12 years into it, his dad's sitting on the rock and he's crying and he wishes his son would come back.
00:30:34.000
But because he's touching the rock, the son comes out of the rock.
00:30:43.000
Sylvester and the Magic Pebble, one of the darkest pieces of literature.
00:30:48.000
When people ask me the scariest horror movie, I say, can I include children's books?
00:30:59.000
If someone has eaten shrooms or tried acid, get them the fuck away from that book.
00:31:25.000
Because, dude, they got these blue stars of David that mess you up.
00:31:36.000
I got to admit, I'm a little uncomfortable, Coco, because you did threaten me after I mocked Ralphie Mae for ODing, even though he has kids and choosing opioids over his kids.
00:31:46.000
You know, now I'm talk about Bruce Lee, talk about Bruce Stars of death and Taekwondo.
00:32:10.000
They hear the Bronx accent, and the only time they've heard that is in movies, so they go, you're going to get me whacked.
00:32:30.000
I hope you're taking this out of your own salary and not the company.
00:32:39.000
So before you unbox that one, it was a buy one get two.
00:32:50.000
It makes me think of fat guys with no life who have like a shelf or the various figurines.
00:32:57.000
Which I guess I had, which I guess is behind me right now.
00:33:01.000
So I felt like England was at least relevant to you because like, oh, great.
00:33:06.000
I feel like you're not putting any thought into these.
00:33:23.000
I don't want them, and you know who else doesn't want them?
00:33:26.000
In a way, they kind of show the unity of Christmas.
00:33:29.000
Everyone agrees that this is a shitty present, and they don't want it in their house.
00:33:33.000
But the one from England, man, is pretty cool because you came from England.
00:33:57.000
Simply the President of the United States got me stuff.
00:34:15.000
From the container store, it looks like it's a misdirect.
00:34:24.000
Now, Malbone is a designer who did this Budweiser golf line.
00:34:30.000
And it looks like that Ryan has found the keys to my heart and got the entire line.
00:35:10.000
I got one more, and I guess I could do maybe a drum roll.
00:35:22.000
Looking at your presents, ordering them from good to bad.
00:35:30.000
And so far, the Budweiser track suit is the winner.
00:36:22.000
I've got to get my Arizona toothpick out and open this poppy up.
00:36:40.000
Oh, no, they're all from, well, in my family, we do Santa Ryan, Santa Nana.
00:36:45.000
So we write Santa's name and then we write the person.
00:36:53.000
And Ben Shapiro goes, Santa brought me presents.
00:36:56.000
And the Santa Denay goes, where is that written?
00:37:25.000
This is, this might be the second greatest present I ever received after that baby monster got the bag from the 80s.
00:37:45.000
Today's episode is brought to you by Amheiser-Busch, Budweiser, the king of beers.
00:38:03.000
I heard you say holy Tlaib, and I said, that's my cute.
00:38:18.000
Besides the pops, this was a pretty good Christmas haul.
00:39:10.000
now that I have a Budweiser bag, golf bag, you just got yourself a Budweiser golf bag.
00:39:19.000
But that's nice of me to get you one that allows you to drift one.
00:39:48.000
That one I don't have, but I'm not interested, if no offense.
00:40:02.000
I already have that because when we're done filming that, they gave us all one.
00:40:13.000
These are some ideas I had my assistant switch by.
00:40:16.000
And I thought, rather than wasting everyone's time, I'll see if you like them.
00:40:22.000
Oh, look, I guess that wouldn't be appropriate to give me a broken gift.
00:40:32.000
It hit my shin one time when I was trying to do a spinner route, and I could never get over it.
00:41:24.000
Because it looks like you're kind of meandering.
00:41:46.000
Or maybe it's best if it was mine to just keep it here.
00:41:52.000
Okay, well maybe we should get to finding instead of putting.
00:41:56.000
I don't want to be selfish, but this is the season to not do this.
00:42:34.000
It's an unforgiving holiday if I don't get at least a little something here.
00:42:47.000
Isn't it cool after you've opened your presents and there's like presents everywhere?
00:43:03.000
Um, just uh next year, before my birthday comes up in April, let me text.
00:43:19.000
Not the one who's so far away when I feel the snake parting to my bird.
00:43:45.000
Thank you guys for tuning in to the annual Secret Santa Censore TV.
00:44:04.000
Thank you everybody for tuning in and I hope you have nice gifts and you have a nice fun time.
00:44:20.000
And maybe, you know, confirm what you have coming to you for Christmas before you get stuff for other people.
00:44:29.000
Not always, but if you kind of sussed out that somebody maybe doesn't care about you as much, then just go a little lighter on the gifts, I'd say.
00:44:43.000
And the people who you know will probably give you gifts instead of looking around their office trying to find one that's probably intended for somebody else.
00:44:51.000
So two people will be upset because one person gets a gift that wasn't meant for them and the other person gets a gift that was meant for them, not given to them.
00:45:17.000
I was waiting for Gavin to send it off so we can hear some inspiring words of courageousness and inspiredness.
00:46:04.000
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night.
00:46:34.000
So this looks hobbled together, but I'll just cut right through that bow.
00:46:57.000
Or as they say in the hood, I left all my knives at home.
00:47:23.000
Now, this is from me, but it's also from censored TV.
00:47:36.000
I thought you were like, you literally didn't get me anything.
00:48:00.000
You give me your heart, and you can take my word.
00:48:12.000
I really thought you got me like nothing because that was what it was looking like.
00:48:35.000
Christmas is about everything that everyone says it's about.
00:48:45.000
The only important thing about it is that you enjoy it all and have a good time.
