What's up? What's up, everybody? Merry Christmas. Welcome to a brand new episode of

Part of the Problem. I'm Dave Smith. He is Robbie the Fire Bernstein. And dare I say,

I think the two of us together might have more Christmas spirit than any other two Jews in America. So there you go. This is where you turn in on Christmas Eve. Hope everybody's doing well. Rob, you got any big Jewish plans for Christmas Eve? Being left alone. It's a good time. I like a nice quiet day. Got to finish up my editing on Porching episode two.

All the fans out there, if you haven't checked out yet, which is all of you.

There are 160,000 people that watched the last episode.

And only about 400 made them moreover.

So there's still a big opportunity for conversions here, Dave Smith.

And in the spirit of Christmas, when you're bored and sick of your family

and you're sitting around you ate all the cookies they're still waiting on on uh santa to show up

with their gifts you go to robby the fire um i mean you type that word into youtube and watch

porching episode one there you go you got if you you got some time that's what you do go watch

how long do you got to watch a log

burn for you know it's going to get boring at some point that is a good point that is a good point in fact i am planning on building a fire right after the show right after the show i'm going to build a fire and i'm going to uh have a whiskey that's a nice time any christmas cookies planned oh there's a bunch There's a bunch up there already.

I got my mother-in-law came over with like three tins of Christmas cookies.

They're making a, um, cookies planned? Oh, there's a bunch. There's a bunch up there already. I got my mother-in-law

came over with like three tins of Christmas cookies. They're making a, what's it called,

a prime rib upstairs right now, which I'm looking forward to. But there is something about the,

I was telling this to Natalie before we started. There is something about the one, one p.m. cocktail on Christmas Eve that just like you know a lot of life a lot of being

an adult is just finding a way to be a degenerate without it seeming too icky you know does that

make sense like you just do it in a way where it's

like no no no that's totally respectable it's christmas eve your family's over you're having a drink at one that's not like if i just did that on a regular day you'd be like that's crazy i feel too bad about myself i can't do it like when i i don't so i grew up in brooklyn right so when i was a kid. I know a lot of people grew up in suburbs, it was a little different than this.

But the thing we used to do was sit, was hang out on stoops. It was like the park where it's on stoops is where we just random someone stoop. And you'd get a 40 at the store and you'd sit at, you know, you're 16 years old or whatever. and you sit down there and you and your boys drink a 40 on the stoop and bullshit.
