head to the dairy chic yeah for free ice cream because we know our friends working and he always gives us free ice cream I wonder if he's gonna do free shawarma too oh what do we wonder what we can get out of them today yeah you guys get too excited you bike too fast yeah we bike too fast and you're as you're riding through town what do you see it's pretty dark in this area there's like some street lights of course and they decorate for christmas mm-hmm yeah so there's lights strung on the buildings there's a and on the street poles wreaths uh on the tops of the poles yeah yeah there's a one really big tree kind of in town and they decorate with lights but they didn't have a ladder that's tall enough for the very top so it kind of stops like seventy five percent of the way up you can see at a certain point they just started trying to huck lights up there yeah there's a broken star on the other side of the tree well that's staying up there ugh fuck good enough to go up there Everyone in town just agrees that where the star lands is symbolically the star on the top of the tree.

So everyone just goes, there it is. So beautiful. Yeah, and the town's kind of closing up. It's Christmas Eve. Not a lot of places are open except for the Dairy Chic and the Curling Club, which we have described as an organization which has an unusual amount of influence over the town of Bushwick, is having their yearly Christmas Eve. Bonspiel. Yeah, Bonspiel. Oh, yes. They're ostensibly, it is a curling Bonspiel. It is also like a party for the adults in town. What's Bonspiel?

It's like a curling tournament. It's like a word for- An event, a curling event. So you go by the Curling Club, which is one of the bigger, probably nicer buildings in town, though that is saying a little too much. It was still constructed in the 70s and kind of falling apart a little bit. It's got a big curling rock above the door to be like, this is where curling happens. And then it's got a marquee and the marquee says, Christmas Eve Bonspiel tonight, adults only. Adults only?

Man, imagine looking in the window. Yeah. And they're having such a good time. It's like when the Grinch looks in the window in the Grinch and all the adults are drinking eggnog. Oh, yeah. It's clear there's some sort of swingers party going on. Is that Coach? There's a man in his mid-delay. He's in his mid-40s. He's stripped to the waist, but he's wearing curling pants. He's on a curling team. And he's got ice-cold cores in his hand. And he's scooting himself across ice with one foot.

He's like, shh. So graceful. Despite the fact that he's past his prime, he's looking skilled on the ice. Somebody else's prime. Yeah. Exactly. He's a bunch of people's prime in that room. Mm-hmm. And you're heading to… To the Dairy Chic, which looks just like an old Dairy Queen. Yeah. It's got a sort of glass sitting area and then a red roof. Just imagine a Dairy Queen listener. And that's what it looks like, but it says chic on it instead of queen.

But with fake palm trees and everything inside. Yeah. Yeah. Desert painted on the wall. Every small town has a weird exotic-themed restaurant. Yeah. Yeah. Yep. This is ours. This is ours. And we cut inside to find Mohamed. Mohamed. Managing the Dairy Chic that he works at. Yeah. What's the Dairy Chic like on Christmas Eve? Oh, it's pretty empty because nobody really wants cold ice cream. They don't even want hot Middle Eastern food? They don't want cold ice cream or hot Middle Eastern food.

So I just said so long to the one Jewish family in town. Thanks for coming. And then I was like, what are you guys going to do for this Christmas? Us? Us? No, I was asking. You're GMing, right, Sean? Oh, yeah. No. But you asked… You asked the Jewish family. Yeah. I was like, what are you guys up to tonight? Nothing. Yeah, me neither. All right. That's what it's like to not be Christian, I guess. Yeah. We're just, I don't know, watch a movie. Yeah. Get some sleep. Cool. Cool.

Well, see you later. I'll see you at the Chinese food restaurant tomorrow. They high-five you. High-five. Bye, David. See you, Mo. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. I think that's when we, like, scoot up on our bikess. Yeah, the door goes like, ah. And I can't stop my bike in time, like, whoa, watch out, David. Mo, you look out the window, you see your friends on their bikes just scream past the window. Absolutely obliterate the Jewish family. Yeah.

And tin garbage cans. Oh, yeah. I definitely aim for the garbage can. You guys slam into the dumpster out back. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. And, yeah, you go out back to the dumpster and there are your friends. Hey, guys. Hey. How was work tonight? Oh, it was empty. The Jewish family came in, the Chinese family came in, the Turkish family came in, and I didn't do anything else. That's awesome. Yeah. A lot of people came into work today, which was weird.

Oh, right, because they're all buying last minute Christmas gifts. Yeah. We're selling a lot of little turkey treats. Yeah. A lot of puppies last minute. A lot of puppies last minute. Oh, man, so many puppies. Yeah. We're going to be getting those puppies back next week. I just know it. It's all the parents that divorced. Yes. Like, in the last week, they're like, okay, I got to win this Christmas. Yeah. There's only one way I can imagine doing that. Puppy etiquette, isn't it? Yeah.

So, you guys had a plan. Mm-hmm. Something that you've done the last couple Christmas Eves together. What is that? We go to my house and we wrap dumplings. Oh, yeah. Very nice. For the restaurant tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, to your parents. Do your grandparents run a restaurant? It's the Chinese restaurant. That's right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I like that. So, it's like the Jewish family came in, the Turkish family came in, your grandparents came in. Yeah.

It's really cute when your grandparents come in because they don't speak a lot of English, but they always just order the same thing, which is your grandma gets a dilly bar and your grandpa gets a medium soft serve cone dipped in butterscotch. That sounds right. What is the dairy sheet called dilly bars? I don't think. I think of a really good thing. Hold on. I have a really good thing. I know. We were already waiting. It's going to be really funny. It's every show.

I can think of a really good thing. It's like. Dubai bar. Yeah. You settled. You did it. No, it's not that. No, come on. You got something in there. Abdullah bar. Abdullah bar? No, I don't know how you say it. Abdullah bar. Oh, no, it's an Alhamdulillah bar. Alhamdulillah bar. Yeah. Yeah, it's that. The whole town. Most people in town. Most people in town still call it dilly bar. Yeah, they just call it dilly bar. They try. Yeah. They really try. And then they eventually, you just know.

You know what I mean? Alhamdulillah bar. Alhamdulillah? Yeah. Bar. Yeah, dude. It's a fucking dilly bar. I'm just imagining a bunch of like. White. White. Like moms standing in front of you going. Alhamdulillah. No, it's fine. Alhamdulillah. Kath. Alhamdulillah. Catherine, just call it a dilly bar. It's fine. I'll take it. I'll take it. No, I care. I can do it. I prefer that you don't continue to try. I don't think it works like that. That's what Mo said.

I prefer you don't continue to try to understand my culture. You know what? Be less understanding. Oh, man. Right. But yeah, the dairy sheik's starting to close up. Well, I mean, you're closing it up. Yeah, I'm the only person here. Can we help you with any closing duties for maybe a dip cone? Oh, yeah. I could do the mopping. Yeah, if you want to. I could do the bathrooms. You really want to do that? Do what? I don't mind is what I'm saying. I'm fine with it. I know people don't like it.

I don't give a shit. Okay, yeah. If you want to mop up and you want to clean the bathrooms, I'll empty the fryer and then I'll give you guys each a dip cone. Yes. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Sick. Thank you.
