Direct from the Broski Nation headquarters in Los Angeles, California, this is the Broski Report with your host, Brittany Broski.
So this is Christmas, and what have you wrought? Guys, I miss Timothee Chalamet. I miss Timothee Chalamet. He's my best fucking friend. He's my best friend. No one understands me like Timothee Chalamet. That is my brother. Guys, what a year it has been. Seriously. Guys, it's been a long one. It's been a long and arduous but very fruitful bounty, okay? I've gone to the source. I've gone down to the river, the Broski Nation River. It's dried up, okay? I've gone down to the river looking around me. Wow, a beautiful delta rich with life and fertility. And I look around. I bathe in the water. I'm doing baptisms in the Broski Nation River, okay? And suddenly, as I'm in the Broski Nation river, I look around and there's all of you.
Wow, a bountiful harvest of so many of my dearest and closest friends and supporters. How blessed we are, Broski Nation, to come together this holiday season, hug each other tight. Metaphorically speaking, we're all parasocial. I know you guys don't like to interact with each other. That's okay. I know you guys aren't really big on interactions. You guys aren't big on social interactions because it requires a sort of social charm. Okay, I know that it's tough, but stay with me. Metaphorically speaking, we all band together and we tackle 2025 with a renewed vengeance. Okay, how do you guys like that? I'm taking this off and I'm turning the lights on. Welcome back, Brewski Nation! We've done about, god, it feels like 175 episodes this year.
It's gonna be about 40-something, okay? Really not that many. Um, it's a very interesting and strange and silly thing, coming into this room every week and giving y'all an update on my life... When exciting things happen, when devastating things happen, when global events happen, when things happen that we all just need to take pause and take a deep inhale, hold it for five, exhale for six.
What is the connection between Santa Claus and St. Nicholas?
Okay, one more time. Every time I do a yoga class and they like make us do one of those breathing exercises, I'm like, this is just pissing me off. What is this helping? Okay, square breathing. I know that's like a calming technique. Maybe my mind just bucks at the idea of yoga. I'm not meant to be serene. I would love to be serene one day. I'd love to try it out. Okay, here's the deal. What I have in mind for y'all today is a deep dive into Christmas, okay? Because why do we feed a big fat white man cookies? And why does he come into our house? And why has he enslaved a sort of native species to Canada or, you know, the Northern Isles, the reindeer? Why is this something that we embrace and sell and put on cookies? I would like to know.
And it kind of creeps me out to be completely real with you guys. So, and I'm a Santa believer. Okay, I love Santa. I do believe in him very deeply to my core. I do love him. I do think that he is God's brother. I do think that Santa Claus is the dying light among us, to be completely fair. He is the last shred, morsel of hope. And that's a beautiful thing.
