A Brilliant Mind, Nimesh Patel

A safer Ontario means more police and prosecutors making sure my car doesn't get stolen. It means building new jails that keep criminals behind bars. And it means there's no need to wear me when I play at the park. We're making every corner of Ontario safer to make all of Ontario safer.

That's how we protect Ontario. For all of us. Learn how at ontario.ca. Pay for by the Government of Ontario.

Hey everybody, Jason Ellis. Remember the Jason Ellis Show? Yeah, I do. It's on Patreon and it's like five shows a week and we have guests and YouTube can't stop us from saying stuff.

And we say it and you can text and you can be a pilot show. You can we can synergize. Come with us. Sign up right now.

Remember when the Jason Ellis Show used to be live five days a week? I remember that. It still is. This show that you were enjoying this free pot.

Thank you for being here. But this is just a little a moose. It's just a little more so it barely counts as an appetizer of what is waiting for you. Every stinking week at patreon.com slash Ellis.

Mate, I have no boss. We can do whatever we want. This is a fun thing about doing podcast in LA is you just end up at someone's house. Yeah, like we can murder here.

It's really up in the garage. You got to feel more relaxed. You're not a pretty girl. Pretty girls come here.

Like, why do things happen? Just real quick. I'm not going to murder you. Yeah, yeah.

Maybe. I started to smoke machine early. Because I'm starting to know the smoke machine's attitude. And today it was going to we were not going to know who if our guest was really here, if I had to let it go.

So I stopped it. Premature, not ejaculation. If you look at our guests, you'll see that he must tell us here. I'm here.

Here's the I've in the flesh. He's a little cloudy, but that was a good choice. You would not have been here for at least five more minutes if I had to let it go. Oh, really?

I'm starting to get a grip on it. Sometimes my machine just goes, nah. And there's no smoke. And then I start talking and then it goes, which is not cool.

No, you'd be a terrible like middle school DJ with the. That's my level, actually. Now I realize, yeah, I'm terrible middle school DJ. I'm predictable.

I'm a chicken. It does. It really messes with that's the budget. You know, I got it.

There was a I had how many small machines have I had? Because we've got cheaper ones and they broke. This is at least number three. But this is this is like an $80 one.

So it's pretty fancy. Yeah, but next level price fitted up consistently. Yeah. Well, maybe maybe if we put this on TikTok because you run TikTok.

Yeah, I'm talking to Facebook. I got all on lack. You do. You do.

I mean, I am a new comedian. I'm only like four years in the game and I stumbled upon you because TikTok told me to. And I was like, wow, check this guy out. And I was I just was like, wow, you've got it all figured out.

And you've got a lot of it's the the crowd work. Seems like a TikTok loves that. It used to love it. I found I mean, I always change it.

I think so. I mean, for me, it's it's been a fickle beast, you know, like the first few years on it. It was like, OK, I'm feeding machine. I think at some point it changed for me for sure.

How did it change for you? Now it's like it's very hard to see what's doing well, what's not doing well, why things do well, versus why things don't use a deaf people falling off a cliff for like a lot of people. Yeah, I mean, I'd mind it myself included in trying to figure out why. So what's going on?

I think a lot of it's such a global headwinds of like the conflicts and all that kind of stuff. But I'm sure there's other stuff behind the scenes that's happening. Yeah, because I had a porn friend of mine on who has a split tongue. And I remember thinking like, I really like her.

So I'll have her on regardless. But it did. It got a million likes and I'm like a million like I've only got I don't have any TikTok. I'm not a I don't really push it.

I'm more of an Instagram Twitter guy. And I was like, OK, we're on to something here. And then I have another podcast with Tony Hawk and we had Seth Rogen on. And I posted that thinking you think this was good.

Wait till you see Tony Hawk and Seth Rogen. It was like frant 3000. Yeah, it doesn't make any sense. Wait, wait, he didn't say any F bombs he didn't show.

He's vagina. Like I don't understand. You can't even say what kind of Middle East and food you like anymore. Like I'm a snoop.

Can't say that shit. You can't say anything related to it because it will be like I noticed. I noticed an odd thing that happened. Like I have a joke, but wasn't a joke.

It's a crowd work moment. Yeah. I was at the Comedy seller. And this happened like years ago, 2018 or something.

And I was at the Comedy seller and I was just asking someone in the crowd. And this is one of my favorite moments ever happened. Because in the moment it felt like I was a genius to me. Like I was such a wizard, but I was in the show and I asked some guy in the crowd where he said, he's like, OK, cool.

What do you do? He says, I do music. So what kind of music? He says, progressive rock.

So I said, oh, like free pal. It's not like progressive rock musicians. And like that did very well. Like it did well on Instagram.

And then that was like two years ago that I posted it. And for some reason, like it started resurfacing like a little while ago, like two months ago. When you say resurface TikToks, that's posting it more? Like people like I guess it like had done well enough with like the hashtags or whatever, that people found it and were like commenting on it like with the flags and watermelon and all that stuff.

And I'm like, oh, this is interesting. Good. It's getting views and likes. Yeah.

But I didn't think that that would translate to less views overall because maybe TikTok is like, OK, not we don't want to push this agenda. We don't want to push that agenda. Oh. And so like that's my conspiracy theory in my head.

Like maybe they're against a certain viewpoint or the pro. They're just trying to sow division or whatever it is. But I definitely feel that again, conspiracy that I can verify. I need it.

Do you think it's possible that my split tongue guest got a lot of views? But then they were like, we definitely don't want you out there anymore. Because I get a vibe from TikTok that tattoo and booby stuff is not cool. Everything that you think is happening with like the algorithm in TikTok is probably happening.

If you think about like what the government says about it is like, oh, yeah, like it's definitely Chinese propaganda or there's definitely some Chinese intelligence behind it. They're trying to push this or trying to push that like all of it makes a lot of sense. And then also like the American people are pretty susceptible to stupidity and stuff. Wow.

That's a way better way to put it. I was like, he's going to do it. No, it's acceptable. It's not susceptible to stupid people.

Well, like what nefarious foreign governments would want is exactly what a lot of Americans want for totally different reasons, right? Like Russia or China or whatever country you want to say isn't necessarily trying to push this viewpoint or that viewpoint. They just want us and divided camps. We're all yelling at each other.

And what they've discovered is we love being divided into a couple of camps yelling at each other because then we can't get anything done as a wise man, one centenation divided against itself can't stand. Cold Turkey might be great on sandwiches, but there's a better way to break your bad habits. We're talking about our sponsor, Fium. They look at the problem in a different way.

I tweeted a thing the other day. I got addicted to Cratum. What's great? Cool.

Don't do it. It's an herbal tree root. Is that the KRATO? Yeah.

I got sponsored by a company because I used to be a pro skateboarder. I still skateboarder. I'm a fighter too old but I still fight. They were like, hey man, I have some of this stuff and then some of my fighter friends were drinking it.

It comes in powder as well but these were particular, I don't want to say the brand because they might sue me but there's a shot and it's got carver in it as well but I drink a shot and it kind of relaxes you. I'm an alcoholic who doesn't drink anymore so when I discovered that I was like, wow this is kind of cool. I don't want to stand up at bars late at night. I would do one of those and it would be more tolerable to deal with drunk people I found.

So I'm drinking it and then I'm drinking because I'm a machine where it just gets, I'm up to four a day, a week in the morning and I go, I don't feel that good. I'll do another one and I'm like, hey, I fixed it. And then I was like, I remember that. I know that is.

And then I was like, okay, I probably should stop and I couldn't pull the trigger on it because I really didn't want to let it go. And then when I did, it was very difficult. I went through at least three or four days of, I don't want anybody to see where I'm at right now. This is embarrassing.

Dude, I'm 22 days so I quit weed as well, but I'm probably 28 days without freedom and I still sweat. I still like my skin is crawling. Maybe since yesterday it's that bit's gone away, but I did a show in Huntington Beach the other day and I had a giant like sheep jacket, like big jacket on and a beanie and I'm freezing. I'm sweating and I'm freezing.

I get to the club. It's like a little room and there's feedback on the mic for these first two comics and I'm just like, I can't, I don't want to, like I can't, I'm freaking out. I don't want anyone to know. And I knew that in my set I was going to take my shirt off and I was like, I got a joke.

It doesn't matter. But I couldn't take my jacket off to go up there because I was too cold, even though I was still sweating and I was like, I don't want my t-shirt to be wet. And I was going through a lot. This is, this is at one point I got, I was like, maybe I have an STD.

So I went and got checked for that because I was like, this can't be that stuff. It can't be. And I don't have any STDs. It's, yeah.

Thank you. I got that. It felt good. It's the wrong way to say it.

I'm clean. But it really worked me. I don't want to blame Joe Rogan for anything. He's a guy no big for this guy.

But he's doing ads for this particular brand saying that it makes you a better conversationalist. And instead of a beer, why not try this? And I was like, I remember, I didn't say that, but I was definitely backing it saying after a workout it made me feel better. Maybe he doesn't know how dangerous it is.

And then I tried to make a comment and they block comments, they block that you can repost it because I wanted to post the video and be like, Hey, everybody, watch out. Like they're saying it's a bit of a conversation. Like I bet you if you snoot, like they'll chase the dragon a little bit, you probably feel a little bit more relaxing to be a bit a conversationalist. But then you'd also be addicted to heroin, which is not good.

So I said on Twitter, Hey, everybody, like just so you know, stuff is not that good. And I got attacked. People were like, you know, you like this stuff saves lives and no one's ever died from it. And then I googled this from it.

And like a hundred people have died from it since 2015. And I'm sure it's multiplied since then. And then I go to meetings and I meet people that have lost their husbands to it. Is that like that spice thing that was going around for a while?

It's not like that. Was that fake weed that was different? No, no, no spices different. The spices is a DMT kind of a thing where instead of actual DMT, it's got like it's a budget one.

It's kind of like you can get mushrooms now at the weed store, but I found out through Tony Hall, believe it or not, who doesn't take any of it. He's like, I heard a radical where it doesn't actually have any cybers, so the cyber in it, it has something else in it that makes you feel like you're on it. So there's a lot of jank out there and you get them at the liquor store. There's little shots.

There's people don't know. And all I was saying is like, if you want to have a beer, if you want to do coke, do it. I'm not trying to stop anybody. I just think that we don't know what we're doing.

And as a person who is in the middle of getting off it and finding it incredibly difficult, I just want you all to know, hey, watch out. It's actually kind of dangerous. I don't know if you know this, but it's kind of dangerous. No, I'm not trying to start a war with anybody and a lot of people got really angry and they're still shooting me shots.

Like probably still just looking for the next itch, looking for the next mix of cradam. I've seen ads for it. Not ads for it. Like the, it was just big store signage cradam.

Yeah. But like for some reason, I have this instinct to never trust anything that starts with a K like that. Like I don't know what it is. I wish I had a hung out with you three years ago.

Hey, are ATOM that sounds like it can't be good for you? Like, wow, the fuck would I want to try that? Man, I'm good. You know what?

When you're desperate and you're a stinger and you're not allowed to drink anymore and someone's like, this relaxes you and I'm like, cool then. Give it to me because I need to be relaxed. Like, because I didn't do meetings or anything. I just stopped.

It didn't work. I decided to smash and cradam. It was like, it was candy. So yeah, it's not, it's just surprising how people take, you know, and I made sure my wording was not, if you do it, you're a dickhead.

I didn't say anything about you being bad. If you did it, I just was like, just so you know, it could be dangerous for you. It's so weird. Everybody always this argument.

No, no, that's what I'm saying. I think the tiktok and the, and as you said, the people that are trying to split us all apart. Yeah. Because that's the other thing.

Like, I'm bribed. I'm a big dude with muscle like, like train and I skate and do a lot of straight stuff and whoa, bro. Like you can't be talking about touching dicks. And I'm like, you mom touched a dick.

Like, it's not that bad. I'm not an evil guy. Like, I don't want to, I'm not looking to just jump on people. Like, neither are you like, we're all the same.

We're still all people. Right. But it's very, everyone's very quick to separate themselves. It's just so easy to have an opinion these days where you don't have to think about it.

And you could just, no one's taught to fight the instinct to say something mean or bad. Yeah. Yeah. Have you ever done that?

Like, did you, you know, before you were in show business, since you've been, have you ever gone online on any medium and been like, fuck you guy, you're fucking moron. Here's, let me tell you why you're so stupid. Only in reactors of someone telling me that. Oh, I say that's different.

Not a, they started. Yeah. Yeah. I don't go out to pick fights or anything like that.

It's not a need to do that. Right. But you have the way trolling. That's what I'm saying.

Yes, sir. I wouldn't, I don't, it would never be vitriolic. It would be a lot of like just like a making fun of them. Right.

But you're really good at that. Yes. And some people that are, what was the word that you used before? vitriolic.

No, no, no, no. When you're less understand it's susceptible. Yes, less susceptible. They get triggered because you're tick tock.

It's really, you're brilliant mind. You have a brilliant mind. You can always tell when it comes to, you know, what do you do, sir? And you're off to the races.

I'm like, as a comic, I'm like, that's a brilliant mind. I mean, you've written for Chris Rock and people like, and send it. I've done some fun things. That's crazy.

That's where God is. Everybody, please come. Everyone, please come. If you're watching this in New York City, Madison Square Garden December 30.

Is that the biggest show you've done today? Up until now, the biggest show of dental day till date is I did Chicago Theatre on November 17th, and that was 3,600 people. And that was an amazing experience, you know, in the green room you go downstairs and, you know, they have the walls and lights where you see people sign stuff. Yeah.

They have a whole door. It's just prints. It's just like a purple door with like, prints is played there. Michelle Obama's playing it like everybody's there.

You could end a prince. Yeah, yeah. The greatest entertainer, in my opinion, the greatest entertainer that's ever lived is Prince. Undoubtedly.

And I was the other day saying that it was an artist he liked. It was like the new prince. I almost got out of my chair and headbutted. The new prince.

I was like, shut. No, no one is ever, especially. I'm like, I just, I'm so angry. He's just got a half a prince.

You've got to be angry. But yeah, the theatre and the biggest show until the next one after that. But please come. My parents are coming.

I need to sell out. And next time there is Lucy. Lucy makes tobacco free nicotine for people to focus better, think better, chill out smoother, and inspire creativity. Use it to increase alertness, attention and mood focus better, think deeper, inspire creativity or just relax.

The only problem with Lucy is that Jason just ran out of it. He's right, actually. Look, I use stuff and I'm also completely sober guy now. So I really like my little pouchy things.

What's it like when you walk out on stage to to that because I know like you go to a comedy store, you go to a comedy venue or a theater. I did a Whitney Cummings was nice enough to have me do a show at Bell boa theater in San Diego and that was my fourth time doing stand up in front of a crowd. Oh really? My pants were wet from sweat.

I was so scared. I've never, I've fought a guy. You weren't planning on taking those off that. I should have a bottle.

I fought a guy once at a certain pound and he used to be the heavyweight UFC champion and I was like you're getting knocked out tonight for sure. I was very nervous. But that theater with Whitney, I was like, okay, no, I'm more nervous right now than that. That's crazy.

It was easy to add up. What's that like when you walk out and the sea of people that you see when you first step out? You know, I think it's like, and this is going to sound like I'm not grateful, but I am grateful. I'm just gotten used to it.

Wow. Where it's just like, okay, it's still like very cool. Yeah. And the ball theater is like one of the best ones.

You were spoiled with that because the. It's been all downhill since then. The acoustics are perfect. The room is lit very well.

The staff is incredible. It's just like, okay, it still remains somehow at this stage gets smaller. I don't know how to make that makes sense. It's like, okay, I'm here.

I got known to talk to it's just me. Yeah. You're still amongst the people. Right.

You can see people in point out things. Yeah, you can talk and like, because they're right there, it still feels like you're having a full conversation with them. Okay. Whereas in the theater, like, I like it pitch black when I'm talking to just avoid them.

That's how it was. Yeah. I couldn't see anybody. They'll have masks on too.

Whitney was like, don't worry if they're laughing that they've all got face masks on. It was right after the pandemic. Got it. Yeah.

And it was just like, for me, it's just, okay, here we are. I got work to do. Get to work. You're in, you're in like game mode.

I mean, game mode. Yeah. What about after the fact? That is, is there a high to it?

I guess what am I? Yeah, I'm at get off stage. I was like, I know what the theater show was like crazy. Yeah.

I'll just get all that cooked that crowd. Like I can feel it. It's just like the energy of the room just stays here and then like either built like keeps going or it's just like stays super high. Yes.

That's an incredible feeling that high is awesome. And is there a rough transition back to the comedy seller? No, the seller, I'm actually more. That's your home?

That's my home. But I've been away from home for a long time, but I've also like that the thing is when you start doing theater shows and club shows where people are coming out for you. You have a little more leeway to fuck up or whatever where the seller, the comedy clubs, like they'll introduce all the people in the crowd and there's a certain like, oh shit, like who is this guy? He's doing the theater, Mass Square Garden.

He better be good and then expectations are different. So I feel a little more nervous than I do at a theater show. It's funny. I did a show with Tom Segura at the comedy store and I think I asked him something about that when he was backstage and he's like, oh, I'm more nervous right now than when I do a stadium thing.

And I was like, what, that makes no, he's like, it just is, I don't know how to explain it, but like here, it's like a little in front of me. I can see them. Anything can happen. I have my show.

They came to see me. Yeah, it's a bit more of a victory lap. I feel like whenever I did a show where we use the Jason Ellis show, People as comics. Oh, yeah.

So the people that came to the venue were fans of this podcast. That's fun. So it was just kind of not only could I do like my material, but I also had like a little in like things you would, I could joke about personal life stuff where everybody there would laugh about it. Right.

But there was also bits where if I had some of my stand up that is about some of my life that everybody's familiar with on this podcast, I felt like I was repeating myself. Yeah, I can see that. Because they already know that bit, you know. But do they like to hear it?

They were really good. It was very easy for sure. It was less pressure for sure because I could tell that I could kind of I could just talk about anything and they were they were going to laugh. That's the thing with theaters and clubs where people kind of know you were like you got the more lead way to do anything.

Kind of club where you got 15 minutes set. You're amongst five other killers. Yeah. And like, all right, well then that competitive instinct kicks in like I got to beat this motherfucker.

Sure. Is there a bit of that you did some stuff with Netflix recently whereas you'd been doing stuff that you released independently and obviously when you put it independently you're hoping everyone in the world sees it. But with Netflix, yeah. And I think that's the first thing that I've ever seen in the series of other comics is that sort of competition thing.

Does it change your approach knowing that people are going to see it already presold on you? I went into that thinking I did the Netflix verified thing. I went into thinking, okay, these are all jokes for the most part that Netflix kind of rejected five years ago. And so I had like a little sluggish about me for sure.

Thank you Netflix for tolerating that. But I also knew going in a lot of my peers are on the show are like very good stand ups and established people in their own right. But I when I tweeted or Instagram message Instagram announced I was doing it. I knew that their page got flood like their email sign up for people that they wanted to attend the show.

Yeah, got flooded with fans of mine. So I was like, okay, it's going to be kind of stack the deck. Like, and when I got to the show, there's like matting in people there and like people recognize me. I'm like, oh, this is going to be fine.

Like I went in thinking this is almost like a home crowd for me. The competitors came from definitely like, I got to make sure I have the strongest set. I got to kill. Yeah.

So I mean, obviously it's not an unprecedented story and entertainment, but these very same jokes you're saying had been rejected. Like, did you run into the same executives who now had to pretend that they found things funny? No, look, I understand the game. Yeah.

And take a personal. I took everything. It's impossible not to. Like, it's like, like, there's literally nothing else about you that you're giving to them except you who you are in your personal stories.

Yeah. And your point of view and then they say, no to that. It's like, how do you not take that personally? Like, you know what I mean?

And it's just like, I understand like intellectually that you're not supposed to. Yeah. But it's very hard to separate that from the actual fact of it all. But when I ran into the same executives, it's not hard feelings.

I understand what you understand. It's business. It's business. I get it.

It's just like, fuck all this, but I get it. Like, I'm not a grudge-holding kind of person. It's not in me to do that. That wouldn't be healthy.

No. Well, you've already been totally vindicated, so. I hope so, yeah. I'm here.

I kept doing comedy, even though you said no to me five years ago, 10 year, whatever it was. And I did exactly what I wanted to do. And I could do it. And here I am on your stage, you know.

I mean, that's a giant FU. It was a thank you. It's what's Jay's favorite line, Dog and Do Time. Kanye says that one of his songs, Jay's favorite line is Dog and Do Time, which is like, you'll get yours when it's time to get yours.

And it's just guys to stay patient. Yeah. And I'm going to talk a little bit when we worked at Sirius and sometimes things would happen where I'd be like, that's unnecessary, but I also knew them long enough to understand that it was never really personal. It was just like, they're looking out for themselves.

Yeah. And that's the way it has always been. The only mistake I ever made is that I thought some people, they were actually my friends. There.

And that was something that I learned over the years where I was like, no, this is a business. Like, they're in the business of that's half their skill is to befriend you, but without really giving a shit whether you exist tomorrow or not. Let me take this off. Make yourself at home.

Well, while you do that, we have a segment. I don't know. Have we done this? We've done this several times on Patreon.

I don't know if we've done this on the pod on YouTube. This may be some people's introduction to we know our producer Miles. This is, I guess, his signature segment. Oh, no.

What page is it on? You should definitely hit all kinds of things. Take your time. Wasn't great.

We do not have any here. I made sure of that. So the segment is called Miles is from the younger generation. He's 24.

He's very lit. And so. He's got the, he's got the, I'm not interested in any of this. He's so good.

He's got the model. He's got the camera shot all the way. Yeah, our producer's way too cool for the show he works on. But that's reality based.

It's because this show, look, a bunch of old people are on it. Exactly. According to him. So we just make a list of things that are out there in the world that maybe were once cool in our boomer world and we try to see are these things still lit.

Have they become Jenkins? Somewhere along the way we started talking about Daytona and Daytona 500 and don't ask me how Daytona became the third option on this list. So you can help us sort through whether these things are lit, Jank or Daytona. Not without Daytona.

They don't know. They don't. It defies. Yeah, Daytona makes no sense.

But because it made no sense, it was kind of like a middle ground. It's like lit Jank or Daytona and Daytona could still mean lit or Jank. It's kind of like if the question doesn't really, you don't really know what you should answer. Right.

It's like riff-raff. I don't know if you're familiar with riff-raff. He's not really lit anymore. He's not super jank.

He's just kind of Daytona. Wow. Spot on. Yeah.

Because what is that guy? Yeah. He's Daytona. Yeah.

That makes sense? I've never had more clarity in my life. There you go. Have a bit of service.

You have a trouble finding it too. He's got it. You say have. Welcome to Lit.

Jank is pretty lit. Jank is fun. Or Daytona. Daytona.

He's like a lit American legacy. I guess you could call him or Daytona. He's laughing to that. Jank.

Or Daytona. Wow. All right. The show just drops so hard.

Sorry I had to breathe. That intro was so brutal. Hey, Miles. What are you feeling on Nacho Cheese?

He could barely be bothered answering you. Nacho Cheese is lit, dude. For sure. It's like childhood memories, you know what I mean?

I don't know how acceptable it is as an adult to be running actual trashy Nacho Cheese, but for the nostalgic aspect. What would you prefer on your nachos? You could have it any way you want. I think Nacho Cheese is the shitty, super runny type of...

Yeah, like nachos from a Mexican restaurant. It's not Nacho Cheese. No, that's cheese. It's not Nacho Cheese.

It's cheese. Yeah, yeah. Like the original. You want the gooey, almost off-color nonsense.

Orange, look at that. Yeah. It always seems to me like it's more melted plastic with salt in it. Yes.

That's lit. It's good for the nostalgic factor. I think it's like having a stealthy 24. It's still today for you.

Everything's new, right? It's not even a surprise. As a child, you have not earned a stealthy. But there was the fat boy child era that I'm out of, which I think back to Nacho Cheese.

That was a staple in my diet. Oh, fair enough. He was a fat kid. Got it.

How about I'm sitting here familiar with the elf on the shelf? Yeah, it was jank though. Wait, I don't know what elf on the shelf is. Are you familiar with the elf on the shelf?

I just learned about it. It's a little shelf elf that they put on the shelf in the kids' room to make sure the kids behave so the elf is going to snitch on you if you don't behave to Santa. Oh, yeah. He's like a tack on.

Like, you know, like when sitcoms, when all the cute kids get old, they had a new little kid. It's like people got a little bit bored with Santa Claus, so they just mixed in the elf on the shelf. Yeah. And as a parent, you're obliged to, if his little ears change the channel, come back shortly, though.

Move them around every day. Oh. So flies back to Santa Claus every night. Oh, that guy.

Yeah. I'm not familiar with him at all. I've got different races too, because they've got to be PC about all of it, even though there's no Indian Santa Claus. They've got an Indian shelf, elf on the shelf.

I'm making sense to me, but do they have any, you know, someone sent me a picture of on Instagram tagging me in a picture? Is this you and you mentioned? No, I'm not an elf on the shelf. It was very funny, but also made me realize, yeah, they're trying to get everybody with this snitch ass elf.

Is there a trans elf? Yeah. I think they're all trans. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Good boy. I just feel like the elf on the shelf at like a super young age is kind of terrifying your child. Mm-hmm.

And if you're doing it old enough, then you're just making your kid like way too gullible to think that there's an elf going around the house snitching on him. You know what I mean? It's like a snitch positive thing too. Yeah.

And then you're in your room and tells you that snitching is acceptable. Yeah, right. You're teaching your kid to be a snitch. Yeah.

I grew up on the streets. There's no way my dad would have put a snitch in my room. Yeah. My dad would be like, if you can get away with it, get away with it.

Yeah. If you were a good boy, you say yes, no matter what. Unless they got video. Right.

But back then, there was no. There was no. Yeah. It's like pre-growing black and white tux stuff.

Just discipline your kid. Don't use a little plastic elf on the shelf to do it. That's whack. All right.

This is Jack. Good. Miles, how do you feel about pinatas? Lit.

I'm not as around me in the life right now. In the world? Yeah. I agree.

I agree with Miles on this. Someone gets smacked in the head. It's all good. If some kid always gets hit in the head.

If I've learned anything from children's parties, it's more of a guarantee that a kid is getting hit in the head with a stick. Then somebody's going to break the pinata. My favorite thing is when they give it to somebody who, I've seen a, I don't know why, I don't know why, calm down ladies, but women, they get blindfolded and they go, okay, go. And they got the stick.

They start throwing it in a way where I'm like, you're trying to kill somebody. The pinata, you got a personal beef with a pinata, but you didn't let anybody know until they said go. It's like you're throwing it where the pinata doesn't need to get hit that hard. The candy's going to come out relaxed, but they throw it in such a way where everyone's scared to help them or come back over and they usually take off the wrong way.

You know, they're like, you blind me and you say the pinata's right there. And then they say, go and I immediately take a 180 and start swinging over there. Yeah, the husband for sure. That's what it is.

I'm hoping that they hit the husband. You get to see how rageful a child is. I would like for a birthday like to wake up and my whole bedroom is has pinata dangling everywhere and I have to smash them all to get my gifts. That sounds like that I've seen a video where the kid goes to sleep and the parents fill in with balloons for their birthday.

Yeah. They have to wake up and pop all the balloons together. The bedroom, they could be your little take on the whole thing. That's pretty cool.

Elf on the shelf pinata. So just beat the shit out of these elves on the shelves and pinata for them and get your candy before you get out. What do you want in an adult pinata? Oh, well, would have been weighed, but now jewelry.

I like sandwiches, like sandwiches, maybe like a rotisserie chicken would be cool. This coffee, like those Lucy, those tobacco things. Sure. Boxing gloves and you've said a winnings man.

If I popped up in a pinata and said a winnings fell out, boy, would I be having a good day. Strip club pinata would be sick. I was trying to duck that. I was trying to duck like women stuff.

She's got to calm down on the whole get laid thing. What was the inside of strip club pinata? A bunch of ones. And if you break it open, you get to throw the ones.

Oh, well, what about I'm sorry to spoil your pussy parade, but what about just a bunch of money and then instead of me giving it to a lady with I just put the money in my pocket. Yeah. Invest in a nice savings account. No, that's crazy.

Crazy. 401ks. That's what's really cool. What's going on about that?

Miles. So new tires for my car. This is a big pinata. I'm a big guy, man.

Yeah. I'm just going to be covered in a teddy bear. All right. Yeah.

I like a teddy bear. Oh, the pinata. Yeah. That's the best.
