WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700
Hey, hey, hey, it's the Chaos Queen here, and

00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:05.019
you're listening to the Geekcast Radio Network.

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:23.179
I triple dog dare ya! Ladies and gentlemen, you're

00:00:23.179 --> 00:00:25.719
probably going to be hearing this after Christmas,

00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:30.600
because, well... I'm running late this year on

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.420
everything, and there are currently only two

00:00:33.420 --> 00:00:37.439
days left in 2025, which means, as insane as

00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:43.979
I am, I can't release four, five, seven podcasts

00:00:43.979 --> 00:00:49.039
within two days. Okay, listen, listen. Why? Because

00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.899
me and Wolf, we were... No, no, no. No, no, no,

00:00:52.899 --> 00:00:57.049
listen. Listen, we were writing down on the calendar

00:00:57.049 --> 00:01:02.250
because there were three empty spots. So we decided

00:01:02.250 --> 00:01:05.530
to add three extra days. Those are all holidays.

00:01:05.650 --> 00:01:07.769
So I don't know if you'll be putting any podcasts

00:01:07.769 --> 00:01:12.689
in. Podcasts always go in, no matter what. So

00:01:12.689 --> 00:01:17.030
we have the 32nd, the 33rd, and the 34th. And

00:01:17.030 --> 00:01:21.340
then the new year can start. That's not how that

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:25.359
works, unfortunately. It is here. That's not

00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:27.659
how that works, unfortunately. And please, I

00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:31.200
don't want any more days in 2025. I'm ready for

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:35.140
2026 to start now. My point is, folks, is that

00:01:35.140 --> 00:01:38.599
2025 was crazy. I am, of course, TF2 and Mike.

00:01:38.680 --> 00:01:44.599
She is the Chaos Queen. Say hello. I did. I said

00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:47.599
hi, hi, hi. Hello. There you go. There you go.

00:01:48.260 --> 00:01:52.939
And this is episode 164 of Studio 2009. Yes,

00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:54.780
we started this one off a little bit differently

00:01:54.780 --> 00:02:00.540
than we normally do. I had planned on getting

00:02:00.540 --> 00:02:03.980
to episode 200 by the end of the year. We're

00:02:03.980 --> 00:02:07.140
only probably going to get to episode 169, which

00:02:07.140 --> 00:02:11.000
she and I still have to record. However, that

00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:15.490
being set aside for now. Once we finish this,

00:02:15.650 --> 00:02:20.030
you will be getting 165 through 168 because those

00:02:20.030 --> 00:02:23.590
are all already produced and ready to go. But

00:02:23.590 --> 00:02:27.629
we are here to do something that I did back in

00:02:27.629 --> 00:02:31.909
2012 by myself at the time. And this is something

00:02:31.909 --> 00:02:35.210
that I received in an email chain letter. Remember

00:02:35.210 --> 00:02:37.449
email chain letters, folks? We used to get those

00:02:37.449 --> 00:02:40.229
back in 2001 in the email chain letter days.

00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:43.439
I don't know who sent this to me. I did not write

00:02:43.439 --> 00:02:47.439
this. This is not written by me. I think my mom

00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:50.759
actually sent this to me. I think she got it

00:02:50.759 --> 00:02:54.099
in an email chain letter. Kathy Blanchard, may

00:02:54.099 --> 00:02:56.259
you rest in peace. Hopefully you've been resting

00:02:56.259 --> 00:03:00.520
these last 10 years. Please don't smite me up

00:03:00.520 --> 00:03:06.259
there. Thank you. Uh, but, uh, that's the other

00:03:06.259 --> 00:03:07.979
thing that's made this year difficult besides

00:03:07.979 --> 00:03:10.360
all the health issues I've gone through with

00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.560
my left arm and my right arm and my left leg

00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.419
and my right leg and every appendage known to

00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:20.479
man is that it's been 10 years since my mom passed

00:03:20.479 --> 00:03:24.120
this year. So that's been the other issue that

00:03:24.120 --> 00:03:28.479
I've gone through. But, yeah, so, like I said,

00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.080
I did an audio version of this back in 2012.

00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:34.759
You can still hear that version over on Geekcast

00:03:34.759 --> 00:03:37.860
Radio. You'll be able to hear this version, as

00:03:37.860 --> 00:03:42.280
I said, as episode 164 of Studio 2009. This is

00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:45.639
the Holiday Diary from Massachusetts to Florida.

00:03:47.099 --> 00:03:53.340
Oh, boy. So... How this is divvied up here, folks,

00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:56.560
is I've got the red lines, Chaos has the green

00:03:56.560 --> 00:04:01.979
lines, and we are going to read alternatively

00:04:01.979 --> 00:04:06.099
alternating lines as the diary goes along. And

00:04:06.099 --> 00:04:11.659
I start, and I believe, well, chivalry is dead,

00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.919
folks. I start the thing and I finish the thing,

00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:16.680
even though I'm not really fond of finishing

00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.079
the thing because, oh, Florida. Just like a man.

00:04:22.170 --> 00:04:24.889
Yeah, but I gave you all the good ones. I gave

00:04:24.889 --> 00:04:27.509
you the Christmas Day line. The Christmas Day

00:04:27.509 --> 00:04:29.790
line is the best line of the whole friggin' thing.

00:04:30.189 --> 00:04:33.110
Okay, okay. I got the good parts. Yeah, you got

00:04:33.110 --> 00:04:38.990
the good parts. You got the good bits. So it

00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:45.170
starts August 1st. Move to our new home in Massachusetts.

00:04:45.350 --> 00:04:48.250
It is so beautiful here. The city is just so

00:04:48.250 --> 00:04:50.709
picked. Picture -esque. Can't hardly wait to

00:04:50.709 --> 00:04:55.050
see it covered in snow. I love it here. October

00:04:55.050 --> 00:04:58.189
1st. New England is the most beautiful place

00:04:58.189 --> 00:05:00.870
on Earth. The leaves are turning all different

00:05:00.870 --> 00:05:03.470
colors. I love the shapes of red and orange.

00:05:03.709 --> 00:05:06.209
Went for a ride through the hills and saw some

00:05:06.209 --> 00:05:10.649
deer. They are so graceful. Certainly, they are

00:05:10.649 --> 00:05:13.370
the most peaceful animals on Earth. This must

00:05:13.370 --> 00:05:18.459
be paradise. I love it here. November 11th. Deer

00:05:18.459 --> 00:05:21.519
season will open soon. I can't imagine anyone

00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:24.019
wanting to kill such an elegant and beautiful

00:05:24.019 --> 00:05:27.959
creature. Why, they are the very symbol of peace

00:05:27.959 --> 00:05:30.800
and tranquility. I hope it will snow soon. I

00:05:30.800 --> 00:05:34.709
love it here. December 2nd. It snowed last night.

00:05:34.850 --> 00:05:37.490
I woke up to everything blanketed in white. It

00:05:37.490 --> 00:05:40.449
looked like a postcard. Went outside to clean

00:05:40.449 --> 00:05:43.629
snow off the steps and shovel the driveway. We

00:05:43.629 --> 00:05:46.350
had a snowball fight. I won. When the snowplow

00:05:46.350 --> 00:05:49.230
came by, we had to shovel the driveway again.

00:05:49.529 --> 00:05:54.550
Gosh. December 12th. More snow last night. I

00:05:54.550 --> 00:05:57.430
love it. The snowplow did his trick again, that

00:05:57.430 --> 00:06:01.290
rascal. A winter wonderland. I love it here.

00:06:01.899 --> 00:06:05.240
December 19th. Snowed again last night. Couldn't

00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.240
get out of the driveway to get to work this time.

00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:11.339
I'm exhausted from shoveling. Damn snowplow.

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:20.240
December 22nd. I'm sorry, folks. Makes me laugh

00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:23.639
every time this thing is, like, almost, this

00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:28.319
damn thing is 25 years old in 2026. More of that

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:31.399
white shit fell last night. I've got blisters

00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:34.439
on my hands from shoveling. I think the snowplow

00:06:34.439 --> 00:06:37.300
waits around the corner. I'm done shoveling,

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:40.579
that asshole. December 25th. White Christmas,

00:06:40.660 --> 00:06:44.980
my friggin' ass. More fucking snow. If I ever

00:06:44.980 --> 00:06:47.339
get my hands on the guy that drives that snowplow,

00:06:47.420 --> 00:06:51.199
I swear I will castrate the dumb bastard. Don't

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:54.220
know why they don't use more fucking salt on

00:06:54.220 --> 00:06:59.529
this ice. December 28th. Oh, boy. More of the

00:06:59.529 --> 00:07:02.649
same shit last night. Been inside since Christmas

00:07:02.649 --> 00:07:05.829
Day, except for when Snowplow Harry comes by.

00:07:06.269 --> 00:07:09.589
Can't go anywhere. The car is buried in a mountain

00:07:09.589 --> 00:07:12.790
of white shit. The weatherman says expect another

00:07:12.790 --> 00:07:16.009
10 inches of this shit tonight. See, you know

00:07:16.009 --> 00:07:20.550
how many shovels Shovelful 10 inches is? My back

00:07:20.550 --> 00:07:25.290
aches. January 1st. Happy fucking New Year. The

00:07:25.290 --> 00:07:29.350
weatherman was wrong. Again. We got 34 fucking

00:07:29.350 --> 00:07:32.949
inches of snow this time. At this rate, it won't

00:07:32.949 --> 00:07:36.250
melt until the friggin' 4th of July. The snowplow

00:07:36.250 --> 00:07:39.509
got stuck down the road. Shit for brains. Had

00:07:39.509 --> 00:07:42.110
the balls to come to my door and ask to borrow

00:07:42.110 --> 00:07:45.910
my shovel. I told him I broke six shovels already,

00:07:46.050 --> 00:07:48.329
shoveling the shit he dumped back in my driveway.

00:07:48.449 --> 00:07:51.810
I broke the seventh shovel over his head. That's

00:07:51.810 --> 00:07:56.649
right. January 4th. Finally got out of the house

00:07:56.649 --> 00:07:59.310
today. Went to the store to get food and on the

00:07:59.310 --> 00:08:04.329
way back a deer ran out in front of the car and

00:08:04.329 --> 00:08:08.870
I hit the motherfucker. Did about $3 ,000 worth

00:08:08.870 --> 00:08:11.370
of damage to the car. Wish the hunters would

00:08:11.370 --> 00:08:13.930
have killed all the sons of bitches last November.

00:08:16.850 --> 00:08:22.170
May 3rd. Put the car to the garage in town today.

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:26.079
Would you believe that the body is rotting away

00:08:26.079 --> 00:08:29.220
from all the fucking salt they keep dumping all

00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:31.279
over the roads? It really looks like a piece

00:08:31.279 --> 00:08:35.720
of shit. May 10th. Move to Florida today. I just

00:08:35.720 --> 00:08:38.600
love it here. I can't imagine why anyone in their

00:08:38.600 --> 00:08:40.559
right fucking mind would want to live in the

00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:43.879
godforsaken Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Say

00:08:43.879 --> 00:08:53.820
it with me, Chaos. Fuck the snow. Oh, my God.

00:08:54.419 --> 00:08:58.600
Oh, God. Yeah. This is too funny. I don't know

00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.799
where my mom found this thing, but like I said,

00:09:01.980 --> 00:09:07.139
she sent this to me. What we need now is the

00:09:07.139 --> 00:09:14.679
Florida version. All right. I am going to write

00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:19.720
that shit out. Okay, good. You create that. That

00:09:19.720 --> 00:09:23.110
would be a good. A good follow -up. That'd be

00:09:23.110 --> 00:09:25.269
a good Christmas. Yeah, a good follow -up. Good

00:09:25.269 --> 00:09:31.870
Christmas in July. Yes. Oh, God. So there you

00:09:31.870 --> 00:09:34.610
go, folks. We know it's a little late since Christmas

00:09:34.610 --> 00:09:37.509
has already passed here in 2025. We do hope that

00:09:37.509 --> 00:09:40.070
everyone listening to the sound of our voices

00:09:40.070 --> 00:09:43.330
did have a good and happy and merry Christmas

00:09:43.330 --> 00:09:47.990
this year in 2025. wonderful holidays whatever

00:09:47.990 --> 00:09:51.210
you celebrate marry everything as i always say

00:09:51.210 --> 00:09:54.009
i've been saying marry everything to everybody

00:09:54.009 --> 00:09:57.470
to be even before the whole inclusivity thing

00:09:57.470 --> 00:10:02.230
of all of the holiday stuff i've always said

00:10:02.230 --> 00:10:05.710
marry everything just because i just like it

00:10:06.330 --> 00:10:10.950
Well, my favorite thing is, well, it used to

00:10:10.950 --> 00:10:13.730
be saying, like, Merry Christmas, and then somebody,

00:10:13.830 --> 00:10:16.049
you know, saying back to me, Happy Kwanzaa, or

00:10:16.049 --> 00:10:18.610
something like that. I used to love that. We

00:10:18.610 --> 00:10:22.070
can all be included. That's inclusivity to me.

00:10:23.210 --> 00:10:27.549
But since all of this, everything, I mean, I

00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:29.370
know, I understand, I don't want to hurt anybody's

00:10:29.370 --> 00:10:33.049
feelings, but at the same time, Happy Kwanzaa.

00:10:37.730 --> 00:10:41.090
I mean, we should all just be like Seth from

00:10:41.090 --> 00:10:51.809
the OC. Merry Christmas. No, I don't need a car.

00:10:51.889 --> 00:10:59.110
Thank you. Oh, okay. But that's going to be very,

00:10:59.230 --> 00:11:03.210
very short episode here in 164. However, folks.

00:11:03.870 --> 00:11:06.690
you'll get to hear chaos and I again in episode

00:11:06.690 --> 00:11:10.070
one 65, because that is where we recorded our

00:11:10.070 --> 00:11:13.950
30th anniversary podcast. All about Casper, the

00:11:13.950 --> 00:11:22.100
friendly ghost or Casper from 1995. Casper, that's

00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.759
right. So that's what's coming up next here inside

00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:30.779
Studio 2009. I am keeping this specific episode

00:11:30.779 --> 00:11:34.379
completely kind of raw, not necessarily unedited

00:11:34.379 --> 00:11:37.419
because I will obviously edit it, but I didn't

00:11:37.419 --> 00:11:39.700
do the standard intro. I'm not probably going

00:11:39.700 --> 00:11:43.320
to do the standard outro. I will say, obviously,

00:11:43.700 --> 00:11:46.399
Chaos, if you would like to promote your YouTube

00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:48.960
channel, you can do so. I am the Chaos Queen.

00:11:49.720 --> 00:11:53.279
Everywhere you can find me with a capital Z.

00:11:54.220 --> 00:11:57.840
And I hope y 'all like gaming. Come watch me

00:11:57.840 --> 00:12:03.419
fail horribly. She does not fail horribly. Yes,

00:12:03.519 --> 00:12:08.059
I do, but at least I'm funny about it. You don't

00:12:08.059 --> 00:12:11.299
fail horribly. It's called a joke. You are funny

00:12:11.299 --> 00:12:17.139
about it. I know it's called a joke. I know it's

00:12:17.139 --> 00:12:21.820
called a joke. Yeah, and as of this recording,

year for everybody, and I'm just ready to hit

the reset button and just start new, just start

00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:50.120
fresh. Hopefully next year is better than this

00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:54.299
one was. So there you go, folks. The Holiday

00:12:54.299 --> 00:12:58.399
Diary from Massachusetts to Florida. And maybe

00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:01.320

England. Yeah, there you go. That's going to

00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:15.610
be interesting. All right, folks, we're going

00:13:15.610 --> 00:13:17.809

00:13:17.809 --> 00:13:21.409
here inside Studio 2009, only on the Geekcast

00:13:21.409 --> 00:13:29.610
Radio Network. Bye. Hey. If any of you are looking

00:13:29.610 --> 00:13:32.830
for any last -minute gift ideas for me, I have

00:13:32.830 --> 00:13:36.269
one. I like Frank Shirley, my boss, right here

00:13:36.269 --> 00:13:40.190
tonight. I want him brought from his happy holiday

00:13:40.190 --> 00:13:42.129
slumber over there on Melody Lane with all the

00:13:42.129 --> 00:13:44.009
other rich people. And I want him brought right

00:13:44.009 --> 00:13:48.230
here, with a big ribbon on his head. And I want

00:13:48.230 --> 00:13:49.850
to look him straight in the eye, and I want to

00:13:49.850 --> 00:13:52.350
tell him what a cheap, lying, no -good, rotten,

00:13:52.490 --> 00:13:55.049
four -flushing, low -life, snake -licking, dirt

00:13:55.049 --> 00:13:57.830
-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood...

00:13:58.090 --> 00:14:01.149
Sucking, dog -kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless,

00:14:01.429 --> 00:14:04.629
heartless, fat -ass, bug -eyed, stiff -legged,

00:14:04.710 --> 00:14:07.549
spotty -lipped, worm -headed sack of monkey shit

00:14:07.549 --> 00:14:12.870
he is. Hallelujah! Holy shit! Where's the Tylenol?
