Thank you. Everybody's so colorful up here.
Happy New Year, Mama Bear.
Yeah, we're 1 p..m on new year's day
ah how was your how was your night well um we've had a week away at the at the in-laws
and the weather has been kind of iffy and so when we got back into auckland where i live
um the weather was so bad. We were just like,
Being in our own beds tonight is going to be the treat of the year.
So I won't say anything about my wife other than the fact that it's like the
10th year in a row that she's fallen asleep before midnight and I've had to
but that's how it rolls around here.
So Papa might be lucky enough to keep me up until midnight, but I'm not sure.
I'm not promising anything.
It's a lot, a lot more fun when you're younger, I think.
Yeah. It's a lot more fun when you're younger, I think. Yeah, and then we have this crazy, we've been socked in for days with fog.
So there's a lot of black ice out right now.
And so I'm just hoping everybody that I love is safe tonight.
Oh, I actually experienced that as i was going around the roundabout um i was like my my back end kind of you drifted that bitch i i drifted around that roundabout yeah yeah i was
like whoa whoa i'm not because i'm not used to that right i mean i i know that the the car needs
new tires anyway but um yeah maybe did you did-steer and floor it and make the most of the situation?
But I mean, it was just a little like...
Yeah, but imagine in a few hours.
oh i know like if the temperature said it was 37 and so i'm like but it's been yeah it's been cold
The temperature said it was 37.
and really foggy really foggy although i think yesterday was worse you think but it was it was
still i mean from a fog perspective the last time we were out well it was also dark then. Well, okay. But it was still overall definitely foggy.
Well, I thought, well, initially the kids were all going to go out to downtown to go party.
And then they changed their minds so they're going to be here.
So I'm okay with that. That's true. to downtown to go party and then they changed their mind so they're going to be here so i'm
okay with that that's true better better safe than uh you know out there what have do you have
a new year's a new year's a new year's eve crazy story babe like anything that you can remember over all the years that has happened
to you or that you are a part of you know or even just like a really nice new year's like something
cool i really didn't have a whole lot um of exciting new years, I feel like probably the highlight or the craziest part was when the kids were setting off the New Year's fireworks out front.
And they thought of, oh, it was just a little sprinkler to spray.
But it turned out being this crazy, like crazy like and stuff like that and it went
on forever and the poor our next door neighbor was a veteran who had some pretty bad ptsd
and um i feel bad for him we were hoping he was already asleep yeah the kids thought it was just gonna be like a little
pew pew um and it ended up going on for like 10 minutes that was that was fun shit though
it was pretty well but yeah i i've never been a a new year's eve partier or what you know going
going crazy you know it's funny you straight and you think I'm some, I don't know, some wild.
There was the New Year's Eve.
The one rave that I actually worked at New Year's Eve.
That was probably actually
the most exciting highlight,
I love it when you say that.
I had nothing to do with nothing.
I was manning the kaleidoscope
With all due respect, the fact
that the wildest New Year's you can
remember was this one time you were working
I mean, that was probably the most eventful,
You know, because I'm trying to remember, was it
Yeah, I think he was the main
Deadmau5 and I go way back, bro.
Okay, that changes things a little.
Because that was a cooler time, huh?
So those were the good raves.
I've never been to a rave.
I have no interest in raves.
I will watch them from far away.
Technically, it wasn't like an underground rave or anything.
It was, you know, like an...
I guess technically they call them, what, EDM concerts?
Because they're legit above board kind of thing. What does EDM mean?
You guys tell that's not my get-down.
Boots and pants and boots and pants and boots and pants.
Joe Mama, how are you doing?
You can't even talk to me today
That's awesome Papa? No. Okay. Only in my head.
Oh, Joe Mama's making noise.
He's making boots and boots. He is.
Joe Mama, what's the craziest New Year's Eve or whatever party experience, happy events that you ever experienced?
Well, there was this one time in band camp.
I don't really have anything that I can think of right now.
Happy New Year's Eve to you.
Probably should go to the store and probably pick up some candles.
I was going to stop this, but I did get hooked up with a little bit of green cash.
So I'm going to continue my thing.
Like this thing my mom would mom would uh sorry excuse me words my mom would light uh 12
candles every year towards the end of the year and blah blah blah i don't know what the fuck
it was for i continued it when she passed away and then i was going to give it up because i
didn't have the funds for getting wax you know getting candles and um i got hooked up a little
bit of cash so i'm going to continue it and go to the
store and buy some candles yes so she did one candle for every month of the year yeah she's
like we light them all we light them all at once turn them all off except for one and then every
month you light one so but yeah i don't know it was full but yeah whatever it doesn't matter though what it was
for it's it's a i don't know it's kind of a nostalgia like a way to i don't know pay tribute
to her too you know what i mean so i like that exactly that's the reason why i'm doing it for
it's because it's something that she did like i i can't continue and like have a candle going
fucking the whole month you know what i mean but whatever the four days out of the each month is totally fine with me
yeah exactly like a getting like a fucking light bulb or something one you know just to have that's
on oh yeah like uh um the electric ones yeah yeah she would always have one that's cool
yeah i like that i like different traditions i was supposed to do my laundry today but papa Mm-hmm. Yeah. She would always have one. That's cool.
I like different traditions.
I was supposed to do my laundry today, but Papa never moved it for me,
so he's asked out until the second, until Friday.
Nothing tomorrow, because you're going to wash your family away.
Somebody in your family could die.
That's what I was always told, just very traumatic.
I think it was just someone's way of trying to get out of doing household chores.
Oh, it was one of the housewives. And then we all told each other.
And then they're like, don't forget to tell your grandchildren
that you can't do any laundry on the New Year's Day.
That's my story. But you better make sure that no credits knows because you
know today is his New Year's. So hopefully he didn't or his wife didn't do any
laundry today. Oh shit. We have literally 24 hours between trips,
and laundry seems to be the only thing we are doing.
So where do you go after your time spent at home? Then what do you guys do?
So we're going an hour north of where we live to a beach on the east coast.
The distance between the east and the west coast is about an hour and a half's drive, so not too not too wide this part of the country so um yeah we go north a
little bit and we go to a beach that um is run by the council it's a marine reserve in the water and
uh a bird sanctuary on the land so it's very beautiful oh dude that sounds like paradise
so the waters are kept really really clean and then you get to go see all those dope birds uh it's not the cleanliness it's like you can't you can't fish within a certain radius of the
beach around this whole section of peninsula and it just means that there's a lot of fish life
because you know we ain't we ain't taking it all out of the waters and they do a lot of research
aquatic research through the university and things like that.
And it just means that there's abundance of life, which is fun.
There's an abundance, not a-bundance.
I like the abundance and abundance.
So do you guys actually go swim in that area or is it too cold like the
water oh no no it's very swimmable very delicious east coast so it's kind of pointing out to the
pacific ocean so we get some pretty good swells that come through so the body surfing and you
know boogie boarding and the odd times actual surfing will go pretty well, but it's just a lot of fun.
It's a beautiful white sandy beach.
You have to take some pictures.
Show me how beautiful that area is.
Do you guys have to wear, like, I feel like everybody has to wear sunscreen,
but is the sun stronger where
you are there's a distinct lack of ozone in the southern hemisphere above sort of the dis the the
hole between antarctica and new zealand and a little bit towards australia it shifts all the
time it's a liquid but um there is a lack of ozone and so our burn time on a hot summer's day when we're, you know, pointing the wrong way, I guess, can be as little as sort of four or five minutes before your skin starts sunburning.
So back in, what, the 80s and 90s, I'm guessing probably closer to the 80s,
we had an issue in the Arctic where the hole in the ozone up there,
but then because of all the CFCs and the spray cans and stuff like that.
But I thought that they cleared that up.
I thought I heard something about that.
That's just like recycling.
It was. I was just going to say, bro, that was
totally me. Back in the 90s i was uh
in germany spraying my hair and i'd actually spray it straight up and then i'd curl the tip
um and i actually got sent home from school because it was too tall for the students behind
me i was being a fucking menace joe mama knows exactly what that look was bro
fucking aquanette it's okay i haven't i haven't used hairspray in
so many years but that's a trip so no credits what do you guys use for sunscreen do you do
all the chemicals like we do here in the united states yeah we try to go for the good ones but
um it's a bit of a catch-22 because like back in back in the 80s and 90s, it was like, you know, you need to use sunscreen, otherwise you're all going to die.
Which is true because, like, we do get sunburn and our skin cancer rates are way higher than a lot of other places.
But at the same time, it's highly convenient that something that man did to the environment is also something that man can make a lot of money
off. So you kind of get a little bit dubious about some of these claims. But then they come out with
this like this season, they come out and they say, we've got the best kind of sunscreen. It's like
SPF 50 and you won't get burned. And then you put it on. And then the year later, they come out and
say, yeah, sorry, we use some chemicals that's going to give you cancer and we're like what's but i mean you might you're just going to die of
cancer that's that's the pretty much the the upshot of it but yeah they they they they come
out with like these natural things that have fewer chemicals and you try it and you get sunburned and
so you get skin you know like it's we're all gonna die fuck thanks for telling me that on new year's eve we're all gonna die you
guys we're fucked we're doomed no i do agree with you the no credits i always try to find like the
better alternative but i feel like that's like part of life but i didn't know if you guys had
like some magical thing because you're in new zealand and they care about their people and
so much stronger i was hoping for a hookup, but damn.
Not really. No. I mean, there's some cool stuff that works.
And the Cancer Society of New Zealand comes out and says,
this is the brand you should use this year.
And that's like that until they change their mind.
Then there was my mom when I was younger.
Can you guys hear that banging?
Then there was, mom when I was younger Can you guys hear that banging? Then there was
I can hear the banging, but not through the microphone
Put baby oil from her head to her toe
And go lay out in the sun
I see Tricky Buddha here.
Happy New Year's Eve, Tricky Buddha.
It's Tricky Buddha from DeFi Space Donkeys.
I put some fireworks up top.
I feel like you have a good New Year's Eve story.
I've got great ones and terrible ones.
I think the fun ones shouldn't be said in a recorded space.
We have had firework mishaps, house burned down.
We've had all kinds of crazy shit happen on New Year's.
What was the last thing that happened that was wild?
The worst New Year's I had was when I first found out I was allergic to wheat and milk.
I did like three shots, and then we ate a pizza.
And I did like three slices of DiGiorno pizza, and it just all came up like most violently I've ever had.
And like I had a migraine instantly
night was instantly over and I was like all right well fuck me and that was that was like the
beginning of my food allergy journey like eight years ago it was crazy because I suffered for a
while with the food allergies and didn't know what it was until finally I went to acupuncture
and my acupuncturist was like you've got like in like it looks like you've had an allergic reaction
to all of these random things um I mean like the the needles were working but like it was detecting
that and he saw that and i was like all right and i went and got a blood test a prick test all these
tests and they were like just all these allergies i was like fucking acupuncturist on point let's go
wow no pun intended do you like do you like your acupuncture dude i've tried i've thought about
doing that and i never do it because I'm always afraid.
And by the way, I'm not afraid of the needles.
I'm afraid of, like, maybe rolling over and it just going through my whole body or something.
They put you on your back or on your face, depending on what it is.
I'm just not a still person.
Yeah, you're not going to roll over with those in you.
You've got to get, like get extra relaxed when you go.
And sometimes they'll hit a random spot that doesn't feel good.
But most of the time, you don't even feel the needles, to be honest.
If they're good, you won't feel anything.
And you'll just feel better at the end, kind of.
But yeah, I don't necessarily recommend it unless you know a really good guy.
Or it's a good value for what you're doing. But I don't know. I don't do recommend it unless you know a really good guy or like it's a good value for like what you're doing.
I don't do it anymore really.
I tried – I literally tried everything though when I was fucking – just felt like I was dying every day for like a while and then got all those tests.
Oh, you said – you were saying your mom gets covered in baby oil.
I was just – I was over here mic'd off.
No, it's true. i remember that very well my mom would always be like here you go brand just put some of this on and i'm like what she's like yeah it's great for your skin it helps you tan evenly
and now she would sit out there for hours hours and hours so she looked she look like an oven or like a glove? Yeah, exactly.
I had some friends that came to Florida and they just stayed on the beach the entire fucking time
because they never get to stay out in the sun, right?
that when they were walking down the street
people thought that they were homeless
in their offer of health.
You look a little dirty because you got so tanned.
But yeah, I hope everyone's having a good night.
I think I'm about to go get some food and maybe some alcohol.
I might get some tequila if there's a coupon I have.
I have this credit card that it's like if I spend, I think, like $75, I get like $20 for free, just like credit.
I don't know why they're giving you a credit to buy liquor, but hey, I'm not going to argue.
If it's there, I'll take it.
Our taxes here are super high on alcohol alcohol is it like that for you guys too
um i end up spending between i would say 20 i would just spend between 20 and 30 for a 750
or 34 to 50 for a handle of tequila. Papa can only talk on this.
I don't know anything about alcohol.
I just know I hear everybody talk about it all the time.
Yeah, our taxes aren't anything close to the rest of the country.
I've noticed that in some places, like, you can't get alcohol on Sundays.
You can't, it's all these taxes and stuff.
And Florida is like, man, you can do whatever the fuck you want.
If your neighbor shows up drunk, just shoot them.
Like, they have no care for public safety over here, that's for sure. Fuck taxes. I'm about to, like, just, like, load up my credit cards and declare bankruptcy so I can keep my primary residence and then wipe my credit
card debt. Dude, just do what real people should be doing and go to Thailand. I've got perfect
credit. I've got perfect credit. I could max out all my credit, right?
And then declare bankruptcy
and just move to Thailand.
Wait, what did he just say?
He said he can max out all his credit.
and then he can just fucking move to Thailand.
My credit score is like 824.
I could open up a business line of
credit for like a couple million if i wanted to i'm like just getting ready to launch this business
though so i'm gonna probably wait i was just gonna say papa's like hmm i can see the wheels turning
right and then honestly though the country, Vietnam is the new Thailand.
I'm telling you, if you want better experience and you want less fucking weird fucking tourists moving there and creating inflated prices, go to Vietnam.
And we cleared most of the brush.
And I bet they got some pretty good pho.
And apparently they have an immaculate hooker system,
so it's better than Thailand.
That was two terrible jokes back to back.
I had a friend that was like,
I love going to Thailand.
And I'm like, the ladyboys, huh?
Just always give him a hard time for that.
It is a little bit weird, Thailand.
Definitely not my scene. Listen, i'm all for the hookers but like i want i want better options it's like better ingredients
better pizza papa john's but like there you go you know hey papa john's could totally be
like a hooker escort service don't't even have to change the name. It sounds perfect. Yeah, the slogan can stay the same.
Better ingredients, better pizza.
it sounds like some place you go
Yeah, instead of pizza, it's pussy.
You know, better ingredients,
better pussy, Papa John's.
I mean, I think they should legalize it
union where they all are tested
and healthcare and shit like that. That would be
really cool. I still have no interest in
living profession in history
of human beings, to be honest.
have a problem paying because even if I wasn't paying,
I was just going to say that.
I would rather have the utopia that I've designed
where we don't actually have money even
because your value is completely derived
on the energy you put in and what you create.
And people don't want to be losers.
And if you can't pay for sex,
you have to just be an awesome person.
But Tricky, you have to pay for sex no matter what.
You buying her fucking a $40 dinner, which is generously low in this economy, is the same thing as paying for pussy.
So it's like you're paying regardless, dude.
You're either paying half the bills or you're paying for a one-night stand.
Well, it's not just paying for it.
Because, like, you could pay for sex.
Aw, Scrooge needs the love.
Well, then you're all set.
Nah, you just have to love yourself and enjoy your life.
That's it. You don't have to fucking get love from another person to fucking feel love.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm sorry for whatever horrible person hurts you,
but you'll change your mind soon.
I can tell, I can tell, man.
Hamburglar, but she's the heart burglar
Squirrels, what is the most outlandish
Or amazing story that you can remember
In your past New Year's Eve
Do you have any really fantastic ones to share
Or something really crazy that happened
My early Very early 20s like before 25 like and then high school
like i barely remember anything because i was on like some real degenerate fucking shit like we
partied every weekend there it was like people people like to say, like, oh,
last night was a movie. No, my entire high school until 23 was, like, a movie. I barely remember
anything, but I know I lived immaculately. Like, I think the best time, and I just can't remember a new year specifically, but we went to a mansion party, and I just remember screaming my ass off, partying on the dance floor, just fucking drunk out of my mind, coked up, and we were just enjoying life.
And nothing beat that jumbo slice that night
jumbo slice it's just like were you at that same party as squirrels i wasn't i was gonna say it
was just spooky boys mansion party no no this is just some random degenerate party and i hooked up
with like random ass chicks that i never even met and it was awesome like i just fucking i don't know it was a movie i'm telling you like i i don't remember half of
the shit that happened except for like little glimpses and that was just a glimpse like i
still don't even remember the whole fucking night
this one night we uh we usually go up on like this bridge to look at fireworks like fourth of
july or new year's or whatever and there's one new year's i go up there this bridge to look at fireworks for 4th of July or New Year's or whatever.
And there's one New Year's.
I go up there and I go, hey, look, down to the right, there's a guy with a mortar set.
And they put two mortars in two and lit them.
And they both just went off at the same time and put flares all over the floor.
You know, a mortar blow up at ground level is fucking awesome.
They definitely had to go fix up their scratches and burns afterwards, but it was pretty awesome how close it was. See, I would even try and remember a fireworks moment, but we had fireworks all the time, so I just don't know what day it was.
My life was wild, Mama Bear. My life was wild. I am a reformed degenerate.
I am now just an internet pervert.
So what are you going to do tonight, Squirrels?
I'm going to watch anime, and I'm going to not gamble,
because I have now prevented myself by removing my subscription to my VPN
and deleting Brave browser, which is what enabled me to gamble.
And I'm just gonna enjoy some anime.
That's what I'm gonna do.
And think about how 2026 is going to be completely fucked.
$18 million to non-existing Somalian fucking daycares.
Fucking AMD and NVIDIA rising their prices,
rumored to go from $2,000 for a 5090 to $5,000 for a 5090 graphics card.
Ramageddon is literally on the rise thanks to AI,
and we're paying over 200- plus percent on what we were initially paying
corsair 32 gigabyte ram was like costing me 200 to 300 bucks at most and now it's literally 700
to a thousand dollars like that's crazy i've noticed the opposite i got a six terabyte i got
i got a two terabyte thumb drive for six bucks no one cares
about a thumb drive well you can use a thumb drive or any external battery source as a as ram if you
really want to most of the things that use a uh digital like a virtual ram and you can like
partition part of the drive and and like use it for ram like there i i think it's getting cheaper
everywhere i don't know where you're looking at those prices bro go on literally any pc part picker go on fucking any amazon go on any of the
websites that sell ddr5 ram and go look at the prices that's all you gotta do it's that i want
to say three months ago i bought a computer and it was like cheap as fuck for that ddr yeah i know
it was great three months ago i fucking hate it right now and it's like cheap as fuck for that gd yeah i know it was great three months ago i
fucking hate it right now and it's getting worse and they're talking about literally pivoting like
amd nvidia and like all these companies have literally made announcements saying they're
pivoting more towards ai industry and the growing ai boom we are fucking cooked and they don't care
about the retail investor because they're just going to go to institutional investors.
Whenever there's a market demand, someone will supply it.
Like, you can be sure of that.
And we don't manufacture a RAM here.
It's like China and shit.
So if they focus on AI, RAM is part of that. You can't make AI more advanced if it doesn't have the hardware to function.
It is going to be more demand, though. Absolutely So I just want to agree with more demand though. Absolutely
I just want to agree with squirrels on this one
Ram prices are going up for the exact reason you said tricky. In fact, all of the gaming consoles have been delayed
They need larger RAM for the new consoles that they're coming out for. And a lot of the bigger
businesses are using it for AI. So for more leisurely stuff like gaming and et cetera and
stuff, even those big companies are having a hard time getting it because the bigger institutions
that have more money than them are getting it for their businesses for AI. So RAM has increased a lot for that.
And then as far as NVIDIA chips and AMD, yes, they are increasing because raw materials for that are lithium, silver, copper, and a bunch of other stuff.
And all of those things are currently going up right now.
So if the stock prices are going up on those
and they have to make pay more over the last month and a half,
which that is why we're so far.
So if they have to pay more to make it,
they're not going to drop for the amount of profits
that they're telling their investors they can make
to keep getting that money coming in for their stocks.
That's all going to come to us to pay.
They don't want to see us win.
You were saying that there's going to be a point
where we're going to be all dumpster diving
We're already doing that.
Because you can get those old chips,
those old circuit boards and chips, and you can like you can get those old chips those old um
circuit boards and chips and you can melt the gold off and there's actually a fair amount of
gold in all those old processors and stuff like that and they're not worth the damn uh for like
using for anything but they're like yeah you can there are people literally that just scour like
dumps and my salvage dude he picks up all the metal he picks up all the circuitry and electronics
like if i put something outside that's not garbage and it has any kind of like functionality as Dude, he picks up all the metal. He picks up all the circuitry and electronics.
Like if I put something outside that's not garbage and it has any kind of like functionality as a as a machine like a computer, they take it.
They'll take the circuit board out of the fucking refrigerator and try to like get the gold out. I can't imagine it being worth the time and effort, but there's a process that makes it not too hard.
It's definitely going to be one of those situations right now.
We're already seeing it if you go and look at the prices of or just the statistics there's a bunch of
people like tracking all this stuff if you go and look like the prices of 30 60s and the 30 series
graphics cards and the 40 series graphics cards are like on their way to doubling in value just
simply because of the recent news and the fact that like it's just getting more and
more expensive so people are even downgrading to ddr4 instead of going and buying ddr5 because
they just can't afford it anymore facts dude it looks like like fucking daytime outside
is that what that sound was yeah dude i just gave you a clip of it, but that was when it was just getting warmed up, dude.
They keep on doing those, and it's just bright white flares coming through the windows, and then they go back to mortars.
I'm going to go watch fireworks.
But go get a Roman candle and have neighbor wars.
That would be awesome, just shooting through each other's windows and shit.
Well, you put two of them on a drone, and then fly at each other and try to like shoot each other down advanced warfare while your kids are the infantry unit just charging through their
front yard we used to do that when i was younger i used to shoot bottle rockets and stuff we'd get
like you know a gross of bottle rockets you had like 144 bottle rockets and and we'd get tubes
like you know p, PVC pipes.
And then we have a little notch at the bottom. So you could kind of like load it like one in
the chamber. And then it was like at the perfect spot. So you could hit the fuse and light it.
And we'd get like a grill lighter and put that inside the tube. And it was like,
we had a little bazooka. It was really cool. I remember one time doing it. My brother's like
in front of my house and I'm shooting bottle rockets, like towards my house. And a cop pulls
up behind me and I'm in like a ditch towards my house and a cop pulls up behind me and
I'm in like a ditch like in a Florida ditch cop was like what the fuck are you doing you can't be
doing that I go that's my brother and that's my house it's okay and he's like oh all right all
right he's like go ahead proceed proceed only in Florida only in florida only in florida yeah he's like oh they're only bottle rockets if it was roaming
candles or mortars they might have like not let us do it but if i had to pick a favorite place
in the u.s it's definitely in florida oh you like it there squirrels i fucking love florida
the energy around florida being in florida is just awesome i like the warmth i don't care if it's humid i'm
already in a place where i went in the summertime it's already humid and like you know what i mean
it's just it's better the vibes are just better the water is like clear and blue you know like
people are healthier they're happier and they're fucking batshit insane yeah i mean yeah it's like i don't know if the last one's a good thing or not, but it depends.
If you're closer to the water, there's so much money when you're closer to the water
and it's all people on vacation.
So, yeah, it's got a positive vibe.
You go towards the south or west of Miami or the middle of upstate Florida,
you're not going to have the same experience.
It's not the same energy at all.
I mean, most of the time I spent in Florida was anywhere like around Orlando, Melbourne.
Like I never really went to Miami and the vibes were still immaculate.
In Orlando and Melbourne?
It's got a lot of college kids and a lot of like a lot of stuff to do.
So it does have that kind of energy. But man, the old people
and the rednecks up north
can be so crazy sometimes.
Don't get me started on all the weird
cults and stuff. I'm just going to stop there.
right now. They got weird.
They got old people cults for us to
Oh, alright. They're sex for us to join, babe. Oh, all right.
They're sex cults, Papa Bear.
I'm talking about the predatory,
steal your grandma's money cults.
where all the old people are just fucking everybody
and it's got more sexually transmitted diseases
than any place in the country.
So they're living their life to the fullest until it's over?
Oh, they're totally living their best life.
They don't give a fuck about syphilis or anything
like that. I'm AIDS! Bro, why would you
care? There's a pill for that.
Well, it's a pill for that one specifically, but not for
if there isn't a pill, there's
I don't know. I mean, if there isn't a pill, there's a shot. I don't know.
I think AIDS is still pretty bad.
fulfilling, AIDS-filled life.
Right. And HPV doesn't matter.
Not gonna have any more kids, but...
anyway. One in three people allegedly have it.
Yeah, it can affect some women's birth.
And in your throat, for sure.
That's where a lot of women have it, is in their throat.
That's one of my favorite places.
Just when you thought I was only in your one favorite place,
now they've got to have it in their other favorite place.
Babe, fix this conversation right now.
Did you ever see that in the new Ant-Man movie
where he's got a daughter and he goes to the quantum realm
and there's all these like weird
like alien things and it doesn't make
any sense because if it's in the quantum, anyway
it doesn't matter. But anyway, there's like this one
alien that looks like a little jellyfish and he comes
up to the guy and he's like, ooh
how many holes do you have?
This is like this milk or jelly came out of it.
What'd you say, Ben? This reminds me of your entrance joke the other day
Oh, I have a question, babe
If you could choose between hiccuping non-stop for the rest of your life, right?
Or if you could feel like you have to sneeze,
which one would you choose?
Wait, feel like I have to sneeze?
Or hiccup, like constantly.
Yeah, without hesitation, taking sneezing. But you can't sneeze. You feel without without hesitation taking sneezing but you can't
sneeze you feel like you have to sneeze but you can't yeah no that's fine that's fine you know
hiccups fucking suck ass like i hate hiccups it's the worst feeling in the world next to actually
vomiting yeah well i have cyclical vomiting syndrome so like hiccups will make me throw up my mom does too tricky yeah it's very rare my my
um but hiccups yeah so hiccups are no good but i've been able to um stifle sneezes now so as
long as i'm not like constantly scrunched up in my face like trying to sneeze then it would be okay
i could deal with that i could i could push that away like any other you know negative sensation
if i'm in public I won't sneeze or cough
or do any of those things.
But if you notice, when I smoke, I don't cough.
Now, I heard one of the causes
of cyclical vomiting syndrome is...
No, that's a different type of syndrome, actually,
that the doctors get confused.
It's like an overload of those sensories of TH like for THC hits and it can cause very similar symptoms um but it's it's
it's a little different though um it's more like cyclical vomiting syndrome is it doesn't matter
what you eat or do or anything like that right um and the marijuana syndrome that they're talking
about is super super super super super super fucking. And they're just using it to combat our legalization efforts.
Yeah, if my mom gets sick, like she'll be sick for weeks.
I'm trying to remember the name of that syndrome.
I have to come back in like two minutes with numbers and everything.
Yeah. And what's a girl lighter?
That's what I want to know.
It's a lighter for a girl.
No, it's a grill. A grill.
And like the rod so you don't put your hand
in the grill because it's got like, you know,
if you put like a fluid on it, you're going to burn all the hair off your hands.
I guess that counts as a grill lighter too.
I mean, it's super friendly.
It's like safety for them, you know.
I have a grill lighter that is electronic.
It kind of looks like a stun gun, like a little mini stun gun.
I don't know if you've ever seen these things.
You can hear it, though, when I light stuff.
Yeah, it's like a little arc.
And you can't light a bowl with it,'s a little, like, yeah, a little shocker.
And you can't light a bowl with it, but you can't light a candle or a fuse.
Can you light your friend's clothes on fire?
That totally works for that.
You can, like, put it on someone's jeans and just, like, instantly burn it.
They pass out on the couch.
Or if they're, like, if they're drunk and they smell like too much liquor, just try to find it that way.
Do you guys do tricks on people if they fall asleep early?
I feel like you and Tricky are like... The rule is if you pass out with your shoes on, you're fair game.
I thought it was first person to fall asleep on the couch face up gets dicks drawn on their face no i see that that became a problem in my friend group so we had to
change the rules that that makes a lot of sense actually all right guys much love uh oh i get
the numbers one second yeah definitely gotta have the the shoes and then yes we did play pranks on
them but it was more than
drawing the reason why we had to change the rule is because some people like started working and
so like we sharpied our friend one day to the point where he had like a unibrow that was like
extra thick because we also put the sharpie on his eyebrows and we like shaped it it's like a really beautiful beautiful unibrow but he couldn't scrub it off in time for work which he had like
in four hours from when we sharpied him and he worked as a server at ihop and then we also put
like dicks on his face and he scrubbed his face so hard that like it really fucked with his skin
so the rule was you were only allowed to
do it if you did uh have your shoes on because if your shoes were off at least it prevented us
from fucking up some potential thing that you might have that we don't know about so it was
kind of like uh as long as you remember to take off your shoes you're safe interesting i feel like
that's a guy thing for sure papa did you used to like torture people
when they fell asleep at your house that were drunk um i think the most i've ever done was
like the shaving cream in the hand and then tickle them on tickle their nose and then they like
and then they wipe their face and get uh whip, whip or whipped cream, shaving cream all over them.
Oh, we had photo shoots with like people who were passed out.
Like I was a victim of this most of the time. So like they would like find like a boxing glove at the party and then everyone would
just take turns taking photos with me.
Like they knocked me out.
um there was other times where we would get water washable like we would um if if you passed out
Um, there was other times where we would get water washable.
like we were at like a homie's house and like it was like a homie homie's house and he went to like
bed early uh one time we did plastic wrap him to his own bed and then put the sheets back on
that was great that's pretty funny um so yeah so we fucked with you 16 16 out of 100 000
people get cyclical vomiting syndrome and they're it's so rare for the thc um hypermesis syndrome
that they don't even have those kind of numbers they just say below 0.1 that's it so yeah yeah
that's the you know it's like one's completely not even relevant when it comes down to the numbers
they don't even have numbers they're just telling you roughly less than the smallest increment we can measure.
And that's just out of 100,000 people.
So when you consider how many millions of people there are, it's pretty irrelevant.
As I tell you, that's all just part of the propaganda.
And so doctors can just lazily call you a druggie and not have to do anything for you.
Trick, are you staying home tonight?
Yeah, neighbors got tons of fireworks because they got kids.
So I'm going to get some tequila and get some food and just try not to make too much of an ass of myself.
I hope you have a great time.
I'll probably stay in the room just to support.
But yeah, have a good one.
Phoenix, it's New Year's for you.
Phoenix decided to come up here with his hand up because he's partying right now.
Are you having a good time, Phoenix?
Happy New Year, everybody.
Happy New Year to my mommy, mama bear.
And I hope everybody have a nice year in this year.
Everybody has a good health and growth and a good money and have a good
I hope you have a very successful New Year.
I hope that you get everything that you want and more.
It's just starting over, right?
In the Chinese traditional, this year is the horse, the animal.
Take a lead and be in the forefront. And lead away, go first, be the first to ask.
So, yeah, this is, I give everybody.
It's the year of the horse.
The year of the mini horse?
The 2026 in Chinese year is the horse and last year is a snake
isn't it like a fire horse yeah you can be a fire horse
you can lead you can you can lead the way. Yeah.
Go first and be the first to act.
I see Babs with her hand up.
Happy New Year, everybody.
Quite the conversations we've had up here today.
It just depends on who comes up.
You know, you never know.
So, it is, from what I read, it was the year of the fire horse, which only happens every
Wow. So, what does that mean, the fire
it's apparently a special type of a horse here. I don't know exactly because I'm a horse
but that comes around every 12 years but this one only comes around every 66 years apparently.
That's awesome. Phoenix, can you tell us more about the fire horse? No, in the Chinese tradition, we have 12 animals and a snake, each of the, include
So last year is a snake and this year is horse.
So, next year, snake, everybody fell down because snake is very tricky.
So, that's why the market is very low.
So, I think the horse will be first.
Then, next year. Yeah. Good. We need a good will be good. Then next year, yeah.
We need a good year for sure.
So Bab says that she's a horse.
Okay, I have to correct myself.
And this might be, you know, the Google saying that it says supposedly with Fire Horse.
That's just what I'm reading.
But it could be way wrong.
No, no, I think you're right.
I was born in the year of the Fire Dragon, which is possibly the coolest Chinese zodiac you can get.
But they have five elements within the zodiac, wood, fire, earth, metal, and water.
I'm just going to go figure out what makes them switch and how often they switch.
But I think you get two years in a row or something like that.
But I'll go figure it out and I'll let you know.
The only thing Google tells me is the fire horse is for intense, passionate, and transformative energy.
So I looked it up and I'm a goat.
Oh my god. No, snake is not good.
I don't like snakes either.
Make everybody get broken.
If 2025 was a snake, then I kind of have to agree with him.
And so you're a dragon, no credits?
That's so cool. Fire dragon. cool fire dragon that is so cool and if anybody's wanting
to look it up i think it's done by the year that you were born yeah the chinese year as well so
it's yeah you have to make sure it's the right yeah yeah according to your month so make sure
you get your month in your day because their calendar is different.
So you may not actually be what you think you are.
So you have to go and say, yeah, like people who were born in January or February, they might actually be the previous year.
Oh, is it the Chinese New Year is, you know, it's usually it's what based on the lunar,
I think, or something like that.
But it's usually sometime in February, give or take.
So, yeah, it's a little off.
Apparently, I'm a wood dog.
Yeah, I fell at a fire horse. Yep. It means I'm always hard. I found that
We have a big change this year.
You have good energy with that, too.
So that's why I shout to everybody.
Phoenix, what do you guys do for New Year's?
Where you are? Do you guys stay up really late? Do you guys have special foods? What do you guys do?
Our Chinese traditional is in February. We have 10 holidays and we always go to temple to
We always go to temple to celebrate and go to many friends home to knock off, to get a party.
And every day eat many, many traditional food like chicken, fish, pork, yeah.
Yeah. That's awesome yes it's very very awesome 10 10 holidays so babe we gotta go to um are you in china phoenix no in taiwan Phoenix? No, in Taiwan.
In Taiwan. Okay, in Taiwan.
We were just talking about Taiwan.
So I need to go to Taiwan during maybe the month of February.
We can go and have a great time.
Really? You want to come here?
Heck yeah, that'd be awesome.
We were all just talking about that.
Yeah, we can build a prison and prison in Taiwan.
We'll go be presently present.
You have the Solana Dead project, right?
Yes, yes. We'll have the Solana Dead show up
Have you lived there a long time, Phoenix?
In Taiwan. Have you lived there your whole life, Phoenix? You mean where? In Taiwan.
Have you lived there your whole life?
My mother is Korean and my father is Taiwan.
So do you speak both languages then?
No, I'm just a little bit Korean. A little bit, okay. So do you speak both languages then? Did you grow up with...
No, I just a little bit Korean.
A little bit, yeah. I heard it's a very difficult language.
No, it's very interesting.
Yeah, the Korean language symbol is very artist.
Yeah, I like the Korean word and and the pronounce it's very cute yeah okay okay
yeah i remember um foreign languages are just amazing to me i love it when people can speak
all different languages um but i find it interesting how many languages are very tonal
right um and isn't korean one of those babe the tonal like it's I don't know if Korean is
there's some that have even more tones
if I'm wrong but there are like four?
Is it four tones in Chinese or Mandarin?
But don't worry, Mama Bear.
You come to Taiwan, when you arrive at the airport,
everybody can speak English to you.
We are very interested in the conversation. Okay, Phoenix. when you arrive airports everybody can speak english to you we are okay okay yeah okay phoenix hey phoenix your music comes out soon yeah but but i have i will i will release the teaser
Yeah, I'll keep my mouth shut. We won't
give them any of the alpha.
That's exciting. That's going to be fun.
I just want to share everybody and more know my fitness.
And yeah, I want to let everybody know me.
And according to music to know fitness.
Phoenix, how did you come up with your name?
I always forget to ask you.
Is that your real name, Phoenix?
You mean my Chinese name?
I just didn't know how you came up with...
No, no, it's okay. I'm wondering how you came up with... Do you want to know? No, no, it's okay.
I'm wondering how you came up with the phoenix.
Because a phoenix is a bird, right?
So how did you pick your name, phoenix?
Someone, someone named the name for me.
It's very technology. No, I like it's who. Oh, okay. That makes sense. It's very technology.
I was just curious if you had a story behind it.
My Chinese name has three words.
It is W, D-O-N-G, and Y-I-N-G and Y-I-N-G
I'm very together with Dom's
I like how everything resonates with somebody
I don't know kind of gives you that nostalgic feeling.
So when will you come here to Taiwan?
But everybody was talking about how we should go to Taiwan.
And I'm like, man, that would be awesome.
I think Papa, babe, didn't you say you wanted to go to Taiwan?
I wouldn't mind going to Taiwan.
You want to go to Japan too? That would be great too. Okay. And we just need to Taiwan. And Japan. Japan. You want to go to Japan, too?
That would be great, too.
And we just need to do the world cruise and just go all over.
I think that would be perfect.
But you guys from where is...
Yes, we're in the Pacific Northwest.
Yeah, I'm in Washington State.
If you come to Taipei, no visa.
But I don't know Japan whether or not.
I think also no visa, yeah.
See, babe, we don't even need a visa, he said.
Just need your passport and we can head on out.
Well, Phoenix, do you have any, what are you leaving behind this?
Well, I guess, do you celebrate the American New Year?
American Year is for which holiday?
Like today for me, it's New Year's Eve.
Today we are holiday, yeah.
And is there anything that you are looking forward to for the new year
or you want to leave behind in the past?
Actually, I come to WebSuite just only one year. So last year, after I meet my first project Domes, and many many people know me and give
me the project to work yeah so i hope this year also
but this year i want to do myself more than project because i want to yeah create some
amazing and challenge yeah maybe that that's why i want to create an album this year and share to everybody.
Yeah, and show people who you are.
I think that's fantastic.
Well, I'm excited for your Phoenix.
I already finished the music.
I just have to solve the platform in YouTube because I just only want to upload to YouTube.
Now YouTube has some trouble.
But my album will be have the 14.
Well, I'm excited for you, Phoenix.
I think it's going to be a fantastic year ahead and
um it'll be good for people to hear who you are you know and represent your art um which i think
is awesome i'm going to head over to no credits he has his hand up first of all um shout out to
gary i know you're one year into 22 sorry one hour into 2026. Happy New Year to you, sir, to all the English people.
Also, the hour has just clicked over.
And so the very final episode of Stranger Things has just dropped.
So for all the Stranger Things fans out there, it is now live.
My daughter is mad keen on it it and she just ran out to the
kitchen screaming there's one minute to go there's one minute to go and so like I've gone
downstairs into my man cave to just get away from it all but no I I didn't really get as deep as my
daughter did um but she's super excited and apparently it's like a couple hours long this
final episode and it's the very very very, very, very last one.
And there are some people throughout America
where they've like booked out cinemas
and they're playing it on the cinema.
Yeah, I have not seen it.
I have heard a lot of buzz about it though.
So I love that she's excited about that though.
Was there anything like that when you were younger I remember I'm trying to remember what kind of
shows I would be excited that was going to come on not really I don't think um we didn't really
watch tv much as kids we had um for the first few years of my life there was one channel then there
were two wow two channels and then when I was. Then there were two. Wow, two channels.
And then when I was a teenager, there were three channels.
And so, you know, they're just full of advertising and stuff.
I don't remember, you know, as big.
For me, it was like movies that were coming out to finish the series or, you know, Back to the Future 3 is coming out.
We've got to go see it, you know, that kind of thing. But, yeah, no, I kind of missed.
I joined the Star Wars revolution at Empire Strikes Back.
So I saw that and Return of the Jedi in the cinema.
But really, after that, there was not much else that was as groundbreaking.
But, you know, up until this episode,
the latest series hasn't been that fantastic for,
according to my daughter, for Stranger Things.
So I hope that they pull it all together in this last couple of hours
and make it, you know, worthwhile and not just make it another,
like, lost season that you get to the end and think,
well, that was a waste of seven years of my life i hate it when that happens
no that's that's awesome and i hope that you guys uh and you head out tomorrow or no later today
we're not sure yet if i the weather is turning tomorrow so it looks like I'm going to be putting up tents in the rain.
So I'm considering going tonight just to,
I'd rather do it in the dark than in the wet.
Oh, like have it all prepped.
So I'm unsure yet, but yeah, by this time tomorrow,
I should have got all the tents up and be sheltering from bad weather.
That's awesome. And your wife likes to camp too.
You're lucky, no credits. I'm not a camper. Yeah, she likes to get away. I mean, it is a stress,
but it's just so different and so refreshing. And we laughed about it last night. We're back
at home in our bed for the first time in a week, you know, with this week away with iffy weather
And she's like, why are we going again?
And I was like, because when we get back, we love our beds even more.
And it gets us through the next 11 months and two weeks to the next time we go camping.
And I love that you guys do all these traditions.
I was telling T-WOP about the present chair that you guys do.
I think it's so freaking smart.
I hope that he has all kinds of cool traditions with his kids too.
Did I tell you about what my son had said about giving something away every time you get a gift?
Just quickly, because I know you're going to wrap up soon. son had said about giving something away every time you get a gift no okay just quickly because
i know you're going to wrap up soon um we had to clean our house for these house sitters and
something we all realized is that we have five people in our house so that's five birthdays a
year followed by christmas where we just give each other gifts and we never get rid of stuff
and so every now and then we'll do a run to the
charity shop or whatever. But like I said to him, what if, you know, it's your 12th birthday and
we've got you six gifts. So you have to come to the table with six things that you want to get
rid of. And then you can open a gift and choose to trade or keep the thing you had already and
give the gift back or something like that.
Because then it would force us to actually look at the stuff we have
and evaluate it in real time rather than once every 25 years.
That's an interesting concept.
My 14-year-old says, that's what I'm doing with my kids, Dad.
No, it's a really good idea.
I know that there's like books out there and stuff that says if you haven't touched it or used it in a year, you should throw it away and things like that.
But that's why I really like our by nothing groups.
I don't know if you guys have that.
But it's a I told you before we have these buy nothing groups. And we,
it's basically people within a certain boundary. And we put asks out and then people will have gives. And they put their stuff and then they'll just coordinate and drop it off on their front,
you know, put it on the front porch and they go pick it up. And like, yeah, that's, it's so smart,
because you never know if something you have is something somebody else is saving up for.
Maybe has an Amazon card or whatever.
Yep, I love my buy nothing groups.
I've been better though, right babe?
Because for a long time I felt like I had to get everything.
Oh yeah, there for a while you were always picking stuff up.
You were always picking stuff up.
Just because you were thinking, oh, well, so-and-so might want that.
Not even thinking, well, do they really?
Or are you just thinking about that person?
It's a way to get something for them for free.
I know. But I've been better. Yeah. It's a way to get something for them for free. Yeah. Whatever. Yeah. I know.
But yeah, I do like that idea.
Well, you guys, I'm going to close it out.
But I wanted to tell you guys something.
I hope that you guys have a blessed new year.
I hope that you guys make good choices.
It's been an interesting all kinds of ups and downs and sideways
that I met each and every one of you
and this is my last word as we head
driving under the influence is $12,000
and an Uber is $20,000 an average funeral is $15,000 and an uber is 20 bucks so make good choices
and this is where everyone goes yes mama
oh we have to say hi to legit really quick I'm sorry, legit. Nah, it's
Happy, happy New Year. You know
I'd hop in and say Happy New Year to
honestly been a journey knowing each
It's going to be an amazing year ahead.
I'm actually just coming back home.
I just got back home not too long ago, you know,
at the start of the year by giving grace to God
because a lot of people didn't make it.
So, you know, we don't take things like this for granted.
But happy, happy new year.
I hope we have an amazing
one. It's definitely going to be
an amazing one, a monumental
year for sure. For certain
Thank you and God bless you for being
the amazing individuals you are.
Much love to everyone in the space.
Thank you for being amazing
people. I can't wait to grow
and learn and upgrade and excel with you.
And so much love to you, honey.
He is like the young old soul.
And I'm glad that you went to church and that you prayed for everybody because
you're right. There's lots of people who definitely didn't make it. And I was watching
this lady really quick and she was saying that she doesn't like New Year's. And her husband was like,
I don't know why you don't like it. And she said, because I'm so blessed with everything that I have
right now. I have a healthy relationship. I have a healthy husband. I have a healthy daughter. I'm happy exactly with how things are. She said, my parents are still
around. And then when I go into the new year, it makes me wonder like what could happen. So
from me to you guys, try not to think about the coulds and definitely just be in the moment,
be in the present moment. Because to me, that's what keeps me sane. And a lot of times I really
struggle. But it's so important to be in the present moment, to be grateful for where you are
and what you've accomplished, but not to put yourself down and to give yourself grace. So much, much love to everybody.
Call an Uber, call a friend.
If you know somebody out there who's struggling,
just take, what is it, seven minutes, 11 minutes of your time.
Go check in with them because these times are not easy for everybody.
are not easy for everybody so much much love and we'll see you guys in the new year
So much, much love, and we'll see you guys in the new year.
yes much love to everyone out there um i guess this is the end for this year
maybe it is okay but don't worry we'll be back tomorrow we'll be back
we'll be back tomorrow at 4pm
papa standard time 7 o'clock
until then do something kind for yourself
take a moment and stay present
move with intention happy new years
we'll see you tomorrow. Thank you.
