Fellow conspiracy realist, this is one for everybody who is celebrating the holiday of Christmas,

the most famous birthday in all of human history. We're doing some classics as we're hanging

out with friends and loved entities. And this got us thinking about how Christmas here in the States is no longer necessarily tied to Christianity.

It's become kind of a secular holiday.

We talked about this on ridiculous history.

Mm-hmm.

Bit of a bit, you know, it's the shopping season.

It's very, very commercialized, especially here in the United States. Not to say that people aren't still leaning into the religious aspects of it. But one thing that some people maybe are bummed to get for Christmas, kids in particular, but some people are stoked to get as you get older, like things like socks and pants and dress shirts. You know, I think the older you get the, or that's kind of what you're after in the Christmas season.

Well, if you don't get them, Noel, a giant cat from the ice is going to come and attack you.

Right.

Yeah, exactly.

Holly you on out.

So it's pretty important.

Pretty mission critical, as Ben would say.

But the question then becomes, what is behind that aspect of this commercial season?

The fashion industry. Oh, that's, yeah, that's correct. If you are like most people, you wear clothing,

whether you're a clothing enthusiast, clothes horse, as we said previously off air, or whether you're a, you know,

whether you're a macaroni, yanky doodle, or you're someone who says, ah, man, they won't let me

into the store without pants.

You probably have to wear clothing.

It's okay.

You can just wear like a nice, a pleated short.
