  Speaker 2: that the every day disco ball.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, so that the cat would play with you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: a certain time of the day, the cat would play
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: with the with the reflections on the floor. So we
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: but it's not been mounted, it's just been sitting around.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: And so.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: It was sitting on this. I have this old radio
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: that's a big stand. It's a big piece of furniture.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: It's got a lamp sitting on top of it, and
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: the mirror ball was sitting next to it. And so anyway,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I go upstairs to clean up and come down and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I come down, I've taken a shower, and I come
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: down and there's this credenza in our dining room and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it has two doors that open. You just pull them
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: open out towards you so too big, and then there's
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: some shelves and things in there. You store things, and
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: then you can close it because it usually looks like
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: a mess on the inside, so you close the door
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: so that you know when you have company in it.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: So I came down and there was something in there
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that I needed, and I see that my wife has
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: decorated the credenza a little bit. She strung some lights
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: kind of over the front of the doors, and so
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: I think, well, I'll just open the door and the
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: end it'll move that little string of lights aside, and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: then i'll put it back. So I opened the door
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: and something hits me square in the middle of my forehead. Bam,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: really hard. It's the five pound mirror disco ball, which
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: she had away.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: She'd put it up on top of the credenza and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: used it to hold down that.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: String of lights, so that when I opened the door,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the spring of lights pulled the mirror ball forward and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: it hit me right in the head.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: And I mean it hit me hard. Happy New Year,
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: the mirror disco ball.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: So that's how you started the New Year.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Right in the center of my forehead. I didn't fall
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to the ground, but I was stunned. My wife quickly
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: grabbed a chad shit, Sit down, Sit down, Sit down?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Are you okay? Are you okay? Did you say bad words? No?
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't, really, I was so surprised. I
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: don't think I did anyway.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Berg in the chatroom says, she's trying to home alone.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: You my god, And I felt bad too, because after
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: the mirror ball hit me in the forehead, it of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: course fell to the floor and it broke some of
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: the mirror pieces. And I said, oh, I'm sorry, that
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: broke the mirror pieces on the back.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: I can glue boats back on. Are you okay? I
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: can glue your head back together too. What a great
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: What a great way to have a new year.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Now, maybe maybe that means that that's the bad thing
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that happened and everything else will be great.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: You got it out of the way, right.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Trying to think of anything, No, I've the rest of
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: the Yeah, I think the rest of the time from
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: the the thirty first on has been okay.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: But geez, what a shock. I just I couldn't.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: That's that's the only really big significant thing I think
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: that happened to me over the whole the whole break,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: other than well, one other thing. Somebody in my house said,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: we were I don't know what we were gonna We
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: were getting ready to eat something, and and they looked
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: in the cabinet and they said, hey.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: We're out of bowls. Now, We're always out of bowls.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: It seems the kids keep them in their room.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: No, I mean they're always in the dishwash. And you know,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: and what this says to me is that we eat
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: too much bowl food my family, we eat too much.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: We need to start eating more plate food, soups and cereals.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: That's what worth. Soups and cereals and goulashes and gumbos.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: And how many bowls do you have a lot?
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I think I need to count. I need you to
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: count yours? Over a dozen? Over a dozen, I would
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: say a lot of bowls.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: We're eating too much bowl food because I've got about
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: that many bowls and there's only two of them.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: I was going to donate some bowls you really carry
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you only need two of everything.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Probably it seems to me that we I don't know
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: why we have I bet we have two dozen bowls.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Well, clearly you need them because not enough.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And then the question from a texter is how many
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: years of bad luck is a broken mirror ball?
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because that's just not one mirror, that's a many mirrors.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: It.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: So blood was trickling down my forehead and I and
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: I they got me a band aid and they put
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: it on, and it was a flesh colored band aid,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and I said, oh no, no, that's not going to do.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: We have these blue Cure ad band aids, bright blue ones. Yeah,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And I said I want one of those blue ones.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, because you know we're having guests. And then
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: I said I want you to write. I want you
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to write on this band aid. Don't ask. And so
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: I wandered around the party with a black band aid
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: that said don't ask.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Nobody asked. They, oh, no, everybody else. And I said,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not telling.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I said, I told you to not ask because I'm
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: not going to write on the band aid.
