Speaker 2: Week, everybody.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it really has puking all over the place at
Speaker 1: my family's and lots of alcohol infused fighting and Uncle
Speaker 1: Brando had to work all week with no bathroom break. Yeah,
Speaker 1: which which particularly for you as a particular problem if
Speaker 1: you've been to a CEO experience you'll understand, yes, man.
Speaker 2: Although no drunken fighting during my Christmas revelry. Although a
Speaker 2: relative did get drunk and go to sleep on the
Speaker 2: dog's bed right pretty good, and everybody's like, well where
Speaker 2: is he? And he's like under you know the blanket
Speaker 2: that's on the couch, right m hm. He had taken
Speaker 2: the blanket on the like, off of the couch in
Speaker 2: the form that it is crumpled up on the coach.
Speaker 2: We all know what I'm talking about, and he just
Speaker 2: placed it on top of himself on the dog bed,
Speaker 2: so just his head and his feet were poking out,
Speaker 2: so if you didn't know he was there, you couldn't see.
Speaker 2: It was very funny.
Speaker 1: Good.
Speaker 2: I was like, well where is he? And you just
Speaker 2: he's over there and they look a good. He had like, man,
Speaker 2: he had so much beer. He just got laid off.
Speaker 1: Christmas layoff drunk.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're rolled and you're like, oh, this isn't
Speaker 2: gonna go well, and then.
Speaker 1: Like it was, it was, it was actually fine.
Speaker 2: And then he passed out on the dog bed at
Speaker 2: the blanket on him, so everything.
Speaker 1: Went, yeah, it's fine, it's fine.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I want those situations to end.
Speaker 1: I I took a puck right to the shin. Jeez,
Speaker 1: yeah that was a good one. I took a lot
Speaker 1: of beers and a lot of whiskeys right to the mouth.
Speaker 2: Yep.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, lots of ham, lots of turkey. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I forget how much I like just ham until I
Speaker 2: love getting ham. Like my my mom made like one
Speaker 2: of those like bone in like just like lumps of ham,
Speaker 2: like half of a pig leg or whatever the.
Speaker 1: H Yeah, that's the best kind. And like we ate it.
Speaker 2: And it was fine. And then like the next morning.
Speaker 1: Sam, for lunch, you fucking diesel it ham again again.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh yeah, I ate the rest of the pig
Speaker 2: like in the morning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, like a little bit.
Speaker 2: Because I wanted to be respectful of myself during the
Speaker 2: Christmas meal and I wanted to make sure I got
Speaker 2: to eat all the things that I eat, but the
Speaker 2: next day, fuck that, I just ate, dude, one hundred
Speaker 2: pounds of ham. I've sat there, put some franks.
Speaker 1: I've been on it full. I've been full all of December,
Speaker 1: Like the whole month. I've been full. I wake up
Speaker 1: in the morning and it's like, oh, I'm feeling pretty full,
Speaker 1: like in the morning. But what did I do? What
Speaker 1: did you do all of December?
Speaker 2: Tell me?
Speaker 1: Just ate, just ate until my family didn't respect me anymore.
Speaker 2: We all talked about my work lots. But one thing
Speaker 2: I'll say around Christmas is there's always booze, and there's
Speaker 2: always soda, and there's always.
Speaker 1: Snacks, oh baking.
Speaker 2: Not because work, but because of our good friend Aaron McNutt. Yes,
Speaker 2: never lets us down.
Speaker 1: What did she bring this year?
Speaker 2: She brought cookies. She always makes me a special batch
Speaker 2: of cookies, those ones that are gingerbread, like soft gingerbread, Yeah,
Speaker 2: with the white chocolate dip on them. Every year she
Speaker 2: gets a special one just for me because I don't
Speaker 2: know where we're buds and I like that. I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: And then she brought some fudge mcnut fudge, which I
Speaker 2: appreciate to say. And then she brought some kind of
Speaker 2: like square of some sort that had some like I
Speaker 2: think it's coconut on it, which wasn't necessarily my favorite thing,
Speaker 2: but the fact that it was there was pretty cool
Speaker 2: because she didn't have to do that and she did.
Speaker 2: It is a neat time.
Speaker 1: I didn't give nutfudge to anybody over the Christmas holidays,
Speaker 1: and that is that's sad. You know, you're get an
Speaker 1: old when, yeah, you don't get to give fudge out
Speaker 1: for Christmas.
Speaker 2: That's because it's just dust. It turns into not dust.
Speaker 1: That's I think I dusted a tear last time.
Speaker 2: That's because you have a child, so you you do
Speaker 2: the Christmas with like the magic and the kids and
Speaker 2: the Wondering Key and all that stuff. Whereas I believe
Speaker 2: this or not. As basically the mummy, I'm actually the
Speaker 2: youngest one in my family. So like you're we don't
Speaker 2: have you you are the young I am the youngest.
Speaker 1: When was your family born during the Big Bang?
Speaker 2: Likely right exactly. It was like the dust that eventually
Speaker 2: formed into the planets, and my mom and dad that's
Speaker 2: what it was, floating through nothing because space wasn't there.
Speaker 1: Your mother's so old, she's just dust.
Speaker 2: She wasn't even dust because dust didn't exist yet. Oh
Speaker 2: so like we don't have any of that kind of
Speaker 2: like the Christmas morning and the kids are excited.
Speaker 1: It's just like, let's crack a beer.
Speaker 2: Fuck, here's a beer in a blanket I bought you.
Speaker 2: Why'd you tell me it was a blanket before I
Speaker 2: end wrapped it?
Speaker 1: Shut up?
Speaker 2: Right, Like that's how Christmas is, right, Like, not that crass,
Speaker 2: but that's essentially the energy was given off. Yeah, and
Speaker 2: then we eat the baking and the cookies and like
Speaker 2: the chakutie board.
Speaker 1: And we yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: Did we play see it? I like playing scene it?
Speaker 1: Seen it? I freaking hate playing games with my family.
Speaker 1: I hate it.
Speaker 2: Well, you gotta have a family that likes to play games.
Speaker 2: You was good at playing different.
Speaker 1: They do like playing games. But when I play games
Speaker 1: against my family, it's like I'm out for blood. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to freaking win, and I'm sitting there just tanking.
Speaker 1: Like like a complex magic play. Here's some magic talk,
Speaker 1: and I'm I got like ace of freaking clubs and
Speaker 1: a four of diamonds and a six of hearts. I'm like,
Speaker 1: what the fuck? How do I how do I win? Right?
Speaker 1: And I'm tanking and they're like, hurry up. I'm like,
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, you're not supposed to think. You're supposed to
Speaker 1: just play. This is playing. This is how I have fun,
Speaker 1: trying to win these freaking matching games with bicycle cards.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, there's two decks. How many jacks did
Speaker 1: we see? That means there's one more cards over here?
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I'm dude. I play the bicycle games hard
Speaker 1: and guess what freaking winat my family. I I actually
Speaker 1: have some more magic talk. I have a couple of
Speaker 1: things pulled up. Okay, we did the math on it.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk on our show tomorrow about twenty
Speaker 1: twenty four, the year that was right, all the sets
Speaker 1: that came out, our favorite legies, how many decks you built,
Speaker 1: all that stuff.
Speaker 2: I did some looking back myself preview for the show,
Speaker 2: and I got what I think might be a pretty
Speaker 2: hot take about this year. Might not surprise you the
Speaker 2: angle that I'm coming at it from, but I think
Speaker 2: it's still going to be surprising based on like the
Speaker 2: reviews of how the year went. Throughout the year. I'm
Speaker 2: some stuff I want to say.
Speaker 1: Uncle Brando has a hot take. Weird first one since
Speaker 1: like twenty seventeen, I know, right, yeah two and twenty
Speaker 1: nineteen terrible year. That's a bad year for Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well, okay,
Speaker 1: we did the math at at least as best as
Speaker 1: we think we could. Yes, three hundred and twenty six
Speaker 1: new Commanders, not reprints.
Speaker 2: I feel so bad for the people that are trying
Speaker 2: to build every legendary. Hey, I feel so bad for
Speaker 2: those people.
Speaker 1: While twenty twenty three saw three hundred and twenty six
Speaker 1: legends just from the Lord of the Ring sets, so
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four not quite as egregious, but three hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty four new ones, some characters redesigned. Of course,
Speaker 1: we saw the Fallout set, We saw Assassin's Creed, all
Speaker 1: that stuff. We're going to talk about.
Speaker 2: All those planes walkers that just turned into creatures.
Speaker 1: In Cowboy hats, yeah, in cab hats. Yeah. That's my
Speaker 1: favorite part of the year, is that exact saying. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about all of that I built. Of
Speaker 1: the three hundred and twenty four, I built one of them.
Speaker 2: I want to stay you two I think two, but
Speaker 2: one of them I did twice.
Speaker 1: You did the Raccoon.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you did did Bellow both good.
Speaker 1: And Jank Yes, and you did Rev and Rev yeah too.
Speaker 2: And then I have this Black Deck mex Neck Lady, yes,
Speaker 2: who will eventually helm my green Black Deck. But that
Speaker 2: hasn't happened yet.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, so's year and a half, okay, and we have,
Speaker 1: oh man, so many sets. I've got a list of
Speaker 1: the sets and the secret layers. Maybe we'll talk about
Speaker 1: the secret layers a little bit whatever. And I've got
Speaker 1: the top commanders from the past two years because that's
Speaker 1: how dh rec works. Sure, but when you go down
Speaker 1: the list specifically just looking for commanders that were printed
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, I have the top three or
Speaker 1: four or five, like, I know where they are on
Speaker 1: the list. And that was what we were gonna do
Speaker 1: for the guessing game.
Speaker 2: Oh see, we're gonna so if you can get how
Speaker 2: many do they have to get? Right?
Speaker 1: Well, I just want to see if people can like
Speaker 1: do it, because okay, like this, if you can.
Speaker 2: Guess one of them that's in the top five without peaking,
Speaker 2: you're entered to win. How about that.
Speaker 1: Sure, there's Rapnicker remastered, but there's no reprints there murders
Speaker 1: at karlov manor Clue Fallout Outlaws at thunder Junction, and
Speaker 1: the Big Score or Breaking News whatever, what's his name was,
Speaker 1: Big Score.
Speaker 2: That's where loot was loot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Lout, lout Lot, Modern Horizons, three Assassin's Creed, Bloomborrow,
Speaker 1: Dusk Morn and Foundations and Foundations and all of their
Speaker 1: associated jump starts or Commander products. I'm not discounting those, yes,
Speaker 1: and man, three hundred and eighty four of them. So
Speaker 1: like if you don't know without looking or filtering to
Speaker 1: that on scry fall or or or dh reck, if
Speaker 1: you know how to do that, you'll never get it.
Speaker 2: The only one that when you said that this is
Speaker 2: what we're gonna do, the only one that even dawned
Speaker 2: in my brain was the moth Man. And that's because
Speaker 2: I've heard lots of CDH talk on social media about
Speaker 2: that commander.
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe.
Speaker 2: It's one of them, but I without hints, I will
Speaker 2: never guess.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and I'm gonna tell you on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 2: Okay, wait, let me guess one. Let me guess one.
Speaker 2: What's the top one. We'll guess it together there on
Speaker 2: me and the nation. We'll see if the nation can
Speaker 2: beat me. You give me hints, I'll try and guess
Speaker 2: who it is. The top one of the comments can
Speaker 2: try and beat me. Yes, the top one is look
Speaker 2: at the people that not the screen.
Speaker 1: Don't I know where it is on the screen. So
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna give you a hint, and I think
Speaker 1: that you're gonna get it because you had a pretty
Speaker 1: good track already, which is a hint. The top one
Speaker 1: was a critically acclaimed TV series this year. That that's
Speaker 1: that's the hint.
Speaker 2: That's a fallout, commander right.
Speaker 1: I gave my hint.
Speaker 2: Well, no, because because I already I already said the
Speaker 2: moth Man's it was probably not him. Uh, it's too bad.
Speaker 1: All the rum's gone.
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm gonna guess. I'm gonna say probably not the
Speaker 2: energy person. Even though people wanted.
Speaker 1: Energy, the Energy guy wasn't even top five. Really Oh wow, okay,
Speaker 1: like the Kaladesh Energy Guy or whatever. Well like from
Speaker 1: Modern horrieson three, that energy guy.
Speaker 2: Right, there was an energy guy inn followed as well
Speaker 2: the big Robot that was an energy Oh co two
Speaker 2: it was it, mister house.
Speaker 1: I will say this also, Oh, there are two fallouts
Speaker 1: in the top five.
Speaker 2: Is one of them in the moth Man? Yes, okay, okay, cool,
Speaker 2: all right, see so I gave you there you go.
Speaker 1: Those are the hints. Was it is? It? Is it?
Speaker 1: Mister House. Mister House is in the top five, but
Speaker 1: it's not mister House. Mister House is not the top one. No, man.
Speaker 2: So there's two fallouts in the top five.
Speaker 1: Yes, Follout was popular.
Speaker 2: Does that mean that three of the top ones? Or
Speaker 2: is there another TV show that I'm missing?
Speaker 1: There is not another TV show that you're missing.
Speaker 2: So there has to be another followed one.
Speaker 1: I would love there to be an Assassin's Creed TV show,
Speaker 1: though that would be Keel would like that. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: that was not a hint. Okay, yeah, man, you know
Speaker 1: what I really enjoyed and maybe we can do on
Speaker 1: the on the look ahead for twenty twenty five is
Speaker 1: theorizing or guessing what universes being on crossovers will get.
Speaker 1: So often during the year, did people say what about this?
Speaker 1: What about this? After we talked about it? Yeah, and
Speaker 1: and just randomly, like I'll be in the shower, like
Speaker 1: jerking off or something. I'll be like, oh man, we
Speaker 1: should do this secret layer and like it would be
Speaker 1: super cool, But now I don't remember what any of
Speaker 1: them are.
Speaker 2: You should write them down. That's what you always telling.
Speaker 1: Me to do, You're right, Yeah, yes, yes, mostly with
Speaker 1: important stuff like your job and grocery lists and yeah,
Speaker 1: not important dates. Yeah no, So who's that's the only
Speaker 1: thing that you do freakin write down though?
Speaker 2: Yeah, this magic, that's true. Actually, yesterday I made a
Speaker 2: list of mono black creatures with evasion that do something
Speaker 2: really good that costs less than three mm. It's pretty good.
Speaker 1: Mm so who don't give it away?
Speaker 2: I said that one like four times.
Speaker 1: Well I wasn't giving it away. Well, this has been
Speaker 1: the command or go pre SIOW for episode four seventy two.
