0:05
Speaker 1: One of the last Mondays before crimis Hanukkah and all
0:09
Speaker 1: that good stuff. And I hope, I hope that you
0:12
Speaker 1: are getting close to your Christmas bonus this year, kind
0:15
Speaker 1: of like Clark Griswold. But I bet you you're not
0:17
Speaker 1: anywhere close to a seventy five million dollar Christmas bonus,
0:21
Speaker 1: because that's what the richest contract in sports history just
0:24
Speaker 1: got signed for. And that's just the guaranteed money. I'll
0:27
Speaker 1: tell you how much the entire contract is worth here
0:29
Speaker 1: in just.
0:30
Speaker 2: A little bit. It's unbelievable.
0:32
Speaker 1: We're creating a whole upper class of athletes way worse
0:36
Speaker 1: than we did before. They're now the billionaires in society.
0:40
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable.
0:41
Speaker 1: Got to talk about that the Trump media master class
0:44
Speaker 1: over the weekend. He still owns the media. Shame on
0:48
Speaker 1: me for forgetting this, but he absolutely does. Little Daniel
0:50
Speaker 1: Penny update as far as the case, but more importantly
0:53
Speaker 1: the fallout from this and whether or not we're listening
0:55
Speaker 1: to that.
0:55
Speaker 2: To lighten all that up.
0:57
Speaker 1: At the end of it, we got to talk about
0:58
Speaker 1: a Florida man has created a giant leg lamp like
1:02
Speaker 1: from a Christmas story.
1:04
Speaker 2: Fantastic, all right.
1:05
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with that sports news comes. I'm just
1:07
Speaker 1: fascinated by it. So Je Soto is one of the
1:10
Speaker 1: best players in Major League Baseball history, and now he
1:13
Speaker 1: is the richest baseball player in history. No, he's the
1:17
Speaker 1: richest athlete pro athlete in sports history.
1:20
Speaker 2: Because you just.
1:21
Speaker 1: Signed day and I think it's fifteen years. It's between
1:23
Speaker 1: thirteen and fifteen. With the Mets. They won the bidding.
1:27
Speaker 1: Congratulations Mets fans for seven hundred and sixty five million
1:32
Speaker 1: dollars seven sixty five And you're thinking, well, he didn't
1:37
Speaker 1: really get all that. It's deferred this and that. Well, okay, fine,
1:41
Speaker 1: the guaranteed money before the contract kicks in to anything
1:46
Speaker 1: is a check, seventy five million dollars cash.
1:50
Speaker 2: How about that?
1:52
Speaker 1: Thinking about putting your kid in little league baseball, you
1:54
Speaker 1: might want to you might have the next one Soto
1:56
Speaker 1: on your hands.
1:57
Speaker 2: But there you go.
1:57
Speaker 1: But it's a weird, weird thing because I was in
1:59
Speaker 1: this too, because my Red Sox were in the bidding
2:02
Speaker 1: along with I think it was the Yankees were in
2:05
Speaker 1: it as well as the Mets, and you know, maybe
2:10
Speaker 1: the Dodgers, you know who the heck knows? And I
2:13
Speaker 1: was the same, like I wanted my team to get them,
2:16
Speaker 1: but I couldn't shake myself from thinking this is a
2:18
Speaker 1: billionaire because with a couple of savvy investments, you're talking
2:21
Speaker 1: about a billionaire ball player, right, You're not that far away.
2:24
Speaker 1: Plus the money he's already made. You know, he's a
2:26
Speaker 1: veteran player anyway, So he's a billionaire, a billionaire ballplayer.
2:30
Speaker 1: I kept on thinking, Okay, I'd be happy if my
2:33
Speaker 1: team got him, or any team really, but we can't ever.
2:37
Speaker 1: It takes away our right and we love to do
2:39
Speaker 1: this as sports fans and consumers complain about ticket prices
2:42
Speaker 1: and beer prices and parking prices and concession prices, right
2:45
Speaker 1: one or the other. We want the best players as
2:48
Speaker 1: sports fans. Can't complain about it when they're dishing out
2:51
Speaker 1: that kind of money.
2:52
Speaker 2: Good for him.
2:53
Speaker 1: It's a free market. You're able to get it. Go
2:55
Speaker 1: get it whatever. Wow, seventy five million guaranteed, all right,
2:59
Speaker 1: shame me. I was sitting here about this time on
3:02
Speaker 1: Friday saying, I don't know why Trump is going to
3:04
Speaker 1: do this NBC interview. I don't understand why he's taping this,
3:07
Speaker 1: taped it on. I think he did tape it on
3:09
Speaker 1: Friday and it aired yesterday NBC with Kristin Welker. Shame
3:12
Speaker 1: on me because it was a good reminder and a
3:14
Speaker 1: sit down interview why Trump still owns the media. A
3:18
Speaker 1: media masterclass put in on this thing. And if you
3:21
Speaker 1: haven't seen it, watched the clips, because it's phenomenal. Here's
3:23
Speaker 1: one quick little example she brings up. Of course, what
3:26
Speaker 1: are they going to do? What is NBC the worst
3:28
Speaker 1: of the worst, fake mainstream news. What are they going
3:30
Speaker 1: to do Project twenty twenty five? Now you have people
3:35
Speaker 1: who wrote that in your administration. I don't know how,
3:39
Speaker 1: but somehow I forgot how good he is at shutting
3:42
Speaker 1: down propaganda. Here's just a quick quick example of it.
3:45
Speaker 3: I purposely didn't even want to see it, because when
3:48
Speaker 3: somebody like you asked me a question about Project twenty
3:50
Speaker 3: twenty five, I can honestly say I've never seen it.
3:54
Speaker 3: I have nothing to do with it. I didn't read it,
3:57
Speaker 3: but I did hear some things in there that I
3:59
Speaker 3: would toe disagree with. And I said, to the people
4:02
Speaker 3: that were really the people behind it, you know who
4:04
Speaker 3: those people are, I said, you really had no right
4:07
Speaker 3: doing this to me, because they used it as a
4:09
Speaker 3: sound by the Democrats, and I don't know, it couldn't
4:13
Speaker 3: have been too effective because they got slaughtered perfect.
4:15
Speaker 1: That absolutely reiterated what he said from the beginning, that
4:18
Speaker 1: you and I and everybody else with common sense said
4:20
Speaker 1: it from the beginning too. Why did they release I
4:22
Speaker 1: was so mad. I remember the day when they released
4:24
Speaker 1: this thing. I was so mad that they did it.
4:27
Speaker 1: In fact, I remember saying at the time, would you
4:29
Speaker 1: like to lose an election? Because this is exactly how
4:31
Speaker 1: you do it? You know, as far as a communicator's perspective,
4:34
Speaker 1: this is exactly what you do. You put a big
4:37
Speaker 1: chunk of red meat on a plate, put a little
4:40
Speaker 1: bit of salt and pepper on it, and you hand
4:42
Speaker 1: it to your opposition. That's what Project twenty twenty five was.
4:45
Speaker 1: That was the stupidest thing I've ever seen in my
4:47
Speaker 1: life as far as tactics or strategy or communication.
4:51
Speaker 2: So bad.
4:51
Speaker 1: I actually thought it was done on purpose within some
4:54
Speaker 1: rhinos in his own party to derail the guy.
4:57
Speaker 2: I still think that may have been the case.
4:58
Speaker 1: It was so dumb, and for him to come out
5:01
Speaker 1: now like he has consistently to come out and say
5:03
Speaker 1: it the smartest thing he did was not read it,
5:05
Speaker 1: not get involved with it, not understand it, but then
5:09
Speaker 1: to reiterate that he had nothing to do with it. Brilliant,
5:11
Speaker 1: Absolutely brilliant. There's no more questions she can ask him
5:15
Speaker 1: about that.
5:15
Speaker 2: She's done.
5:17
Speaker 1: First thing he said was I didn't even read it.
5:19
Speaker 1: Some of it I like, some of I don't, but
5:22
Speaker 1: it's plausible deniability. I had nothing to do with it,
5:24
Speaker 1: and I didn't read it, So how can you ask
5:25
Speaker 1: me about it? Media masterclass from that guy. We can
5:29
Speaker 1: all apply that too. Lessons of Trump gives you. Somebody,
5:32
Speaker 1: you're a you're in a corporate situation, and somebody asks
5:34
Speaker 1: you about something you had nothing to do with, Say.
5:36
Speaker 2: I didn't even read it. It's got nothing to do
5:38
Speaker 2: with me. End of story.
5:41
Speaker 1: I hope he's still now now I get it through
5:43
Speaker 1: my thick head like Dawn's in Marblehead. Why I understand
5:46
Speaker 1: why he still does media interviews like that because he
5:48
Speaker 1: owns it. Because because he owns it, and he got
5:51
Speaker 1: smart too in the last administration.
5:53
Speaker 2: You might remember this whenever.
5:54
Speaker 1: They try to like selectively edit out his comments or
5:58
Speaker 1: you know, cut him off again. He has his own
6:00
Speaker 1: camera crew recording the entire thing start to finish. That's
6:03
Speaker 1: the agreement, so that they can't get away with that anymore.
6:06
Speaker 1: The guy owns the media just does is an energy monster,
6:10
Speaker 1: all right. This happened on Friday, shortly after the live
6:13
Speaker 1: stream ended. The Daniel Penny case got very interesting. So
6:17
Speaker 1: the first, the worse of the charges against them, I
6:20
Speaker 1: guess was the second degree manslaughter got dropped. A lot
6:24
Speaker 1: of the legal experts are saying this is so that
6:25
Speaker 1: the jury can come back today and they will and
6:28
Speaker 1: get him on the second charge, which is lesser. But
6:30
Speaker 1: the prosecutors can always go back to their city and
6:33
Speaker 1: New York and say, but we got him on this
6:35
Speaker 1: and he's guilty and blah blah blah whatever.
6:37
Speaker 2: I don't know whatever.
6:39
Speaker 1: Whole country still supports him for the most part, except this.
6:42
Speaker 1: As soon as that came out on Friday, I kind
6:45
Speaker 1: of forgot about them, to be honest with you, Black
6:48
Speaker 1: Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome came out with a press conference.
6:53
Speaker 1: What's interesting about this is the lack of attention the
6:55
Speaker 1: press conference. God, because I think I think even i'd
6:59
Speaker 1: say two to one and a half years ago, this
7:01
Speaker 1: would have been all anybody was talking about over the weekend.
7:04
Speaker 1: But let me ask you this. Did you even hear
7:06
Speaker 1: this or do you even react to it? Do we
7:09
Speaker 1: have to react to this?
7:10
Speaker 2: Now?
7:10
Speaker 3: Everyone is looked at the case, and those among you
7:14
Speaker 3: who say that Daniel Penny.
7:16
Speaker 1: Is innocent.
7:18
Speaker 2: Have racism and bias in your heart.
7:20
Speaker 1: No, no, sorry, no that's not the case. No, see,
7:24
Speaker 1: but that's what's different.
7:25
Speaker 3: Now.
7:25
Speaker 1: Now you can look at that and say, wait a minute.
7:27
Speaker 1: I'd looked at the we looked at the facts. We
7:30
Speaker 1: looked at this, and we saw that the guy that
7:33
Speaker 1: wound up dying Jordan Neely, was threatening people, had said
7:35
Speaker 1: to a mom and her little baby, I'm going to
7:37
Speaker 1: kill you, had taken off his jacket, was acting radically
7:41
Speaker 1: and threatening people.
7:42
Speaker 2: We know those facts.
7:43
Speaker 1: And by the way, we also know this fact Hawk
7:47
Speaker 1: Newsom some of the other train passengers, the subway passengers
7:50
Speaker 1: that helped Daniel Penny restrain the guy, we're also black.
7:54
Speaker 1: So he's telling us they're racist too. No, I don't think.
7:58
Speaker 1: So here's what's different. And again no, I go back
8:00
Speaker 1: to this, but it's one of the biggest changes in
8:02
Speaker 1: society ever. We run the media now, like Elon says,
8:06
Speaker 1: because you don't have to listen to this anymore. This
8:09
Speaker 1: is why this thing got no attention. Two three years ago,
8:11
Speaker 1: that press conference where he said anybody that disagrees with
8:17
Speaker 1: you know that thinks Daniel Penny is innocent as racist,
8:21
Speaker 1: that would have gotten all kinds of attention. And then
8:23
Speaker 1: he went on and called for street violence and all
8:25
Speaker 1: this stuff. That may not happen because we don't listen
8:27
Speaker 1: to that anymore because that many more people like you
8:30
Speaker 1: and me and everybody else are able to get hold
8:32
Speaker 1: of the facts. That's end of story. That's it my
8:36
Speaker 1: fear on this trial, and I think you might have
8:38
Speaker 1: had the same thing too, was that, Ah, Man, I
8:41
Speaker 1: hope there's not riots over this. I really don't. I'm
8:43
Speaker 1: starting to think now because of the lack of reaction
8:46
Speaker 1: to what that guy got hawk newsom.
8:49
Speaker 2: I don't think there will be riots over that. I
8:51
Speaker 2: really don't.
8:52
Speaker 1: I honestly thought there would be riots already after the
8:56
Speaker 1: Trump win. That hasn't happened because less and less people
9:00
Speaker 1: believe it, because there's less and less propaganda. Oh it's
9:02
Speaker 1: still out there, but it's getting countered by information that
9:05
Speaker 1: you can seek out yourself and ask your own questions,
9:07
Speaker 1: and it's a beautiful, beautiful thing. The opposite of that.
9:11
Speaker 1: Gonna give you a perfect example, and it's amazing. It
9:13
Speaker 1: happened this weekend. Happens a lot, actually, But what we
9:16
Speaker 1: don't want to be the opposite of that is the UK.
9:20
Speaker 2: Let's go to England.
9:20
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what city in England, but this
9:22
Speaker 1: was just posted, ironically enough on Friday. So they're arresting.
9:27
Speaker 1: This is not hyperbole, not making this up. They're arresting
9:30
Speaker 1: people in Europe, specifically in the UK, for what's deemed
9:34
Speaker 1: to be offensive social media posts. Yeah, this guy posted it,
9:40
Speaker 1: and the exact arrests and I gotta say I think
9:42
Speaker 1: he handled it actually, really really well. Arrested for an
9:47
Speaker 1: offensive Facebook post. And this is when they came to
9:50
Speaker 1: his homested.
9:55
Speaker 3: That's a police station.
9:56
Speaker 4: Okay, this is in relation to some comments that you've
9:59
Speaker 4: made on a Facebook page. Oh reality, Facebook crime?
10:04
Speaker 2: Is it? So we need to ask you some questions
10:08
Speaker 2: about that.
10:09
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly what it was. I think I
10:11
Speaker 1: think I read this it was. It could have been,
10:13
Speaker 1: you know what, It doesn't matter. It could have been
10:14
Speaker 1: the topic could have been about anything. What matters here,
10:18
Speaker 1: And the point is he was arrested for words. This
10:21
Speaker 1: is what I hope we all realize how close we were
10:25
Speaker 1: to this. I hope it's not gonna happen now, but
10:27
Speaker 1: this was this was the direction we were had, and
10:29
Speaker 1: this is what we don't want to be. Francis the same.
10:31
Speaker 1: I know Germany's pretty bad too, but that's one of
10:33
Speaker 1: the worst examples of it I've ever heard. Just stop
10:37
Speaker 1: for a second and think about it and break it
10:38
Speaker 1: down like that guy did in his in his funny
10:41
Speaker 1: Cockney accent. So Facebook crime is it, That's what That's
10:49
Speaker 1: what we saved ourselves from that right there, arresting people
10:53
Speaker 1: for social media posts. And it's so funny because they
10:55
Speaker 1: always try to put together and Kamala had proposed this.
10:57
Speaker 1: Don't forget now to jump back into politics or the election,
10:59
Speaker 1: but you had. They were all in support of it,
11:02
Speaker 1: a truth in media and an anti hate campaign. Well
11:06
Speaker 1: here's the problem. They get decide what hate speech is,
11:08
Speaker 1: and if they disagree with it or it up ends
11:11
Speaker 1: their narrative or their propaganda, they will come and arrest
11:16
Speaker 1: you like that guy.
11:17
Speaker 2: That's not far off.
11:19
Speaker 1: And by the way, while this is happening in our
11:21
Speaker 1: supposed closest ally in the world culturally and politically. No,
11:25
Speaker 1: that's no, ally, sorry, it's not. Maybe we can be
11:28
Speaker 1: friends again England UK someday, not now. No, sorry, I'm
11:32
Speaker 1: not going. That's another thing. Knowing that they arrest people, anybody,
11:38
Speaker 1: foreign travelers, that guy a resident, their own taxpayers, their citizens,
11:42
Speaker 1: they're subjects of the king. Knowing that they'll do that
11:46
Speaker 1: to their own people. Do you think for a second
11:48
Speaker 1: they wouldn't arrest me if I went, if I went
11:52
Speaker 1: to London and oh my god, like what I talk
11:55
Speaker 1: about every day in the live stream and like criticizing
11:58
Speaker 1: things and taking shots at people, or wrote something on
12:02
Speaker 1: not on Facebook a lot these days because I hate it,
12:03
Speaker 1: but wrote something on X within their borders. Of course
12:09
Speaker 1: if somebody reported it, of course I'd be arrested.
12:12
Speaker 2: Of course you would be arrested. Of course you would.
12:15
Speaker 1: There is no there's no circumstance, amount of money, gift, vacation,
12:23
Speaker 1: anything that would bring me to the UK right now,
12:26
Speaker 1: there's no not gonna do it. And they shouldn't be
12:30
Speaker 1: an ally and they should not be considered an ally
12:33
Speaker 1: while they're doing stuff like this. Let's talk about how
12:36
Speaker 1: the guy handled it too. Sitting there calmly as now
12:38
Speaker 1: over in the States, we'd be so out there. The
12:40
Speaker 1: sad thing is they're so used to it that he's like, oh, okay, raw,
12:44
Speaker 1: I was expecting a Facebook arrest.
12:45
Speaker 2: Is it raw?
12:47
Speaker 1: It happened so much, he wasn't surprised. We would be
12:50
Speaker 1: outraged and would probably wind up in a taser or
12:53
Speaker 1: worse situation in fighting and whatever. Guy handled it pretty
12:56
Speaker 1: calmly and pretty well though, and very smartly did video it,
13:00
Speaker 1: and it got out to the world, and it showed
13:02
Speaker 1: the rest of us in free societies exactly what's going
13:04
Speaker 1: on over there. That's what we don't want to become. Ever,
13:09
Speaker 1: your free speech has never been more important. And I
13:11
Speaker 1: will tell you they don't have it. English residents do
13:15
Speaker 1: not have free speech right now. It's just a real shame.
13:18
Speaker 2: Oh but that's our ally. No they're not. Nope, no
13:21
Speaker 2: they're not.
13:21
Speaker 1: And I hope someday we have other priorities and things
13:23
Speaker 1: to take care of, like the economy and immigration and
13:26
Speaker 1: crime and everything else over here. But I hope at
13:29
Speaker 1: some point somebody in the administration comes out and says
13:32
Speaker 1: that too, comes out and admonishes England for their lack
13:35
Speaker 1: of free speech, because they really should.
13:37
Speaker 2: That's insane. That is a crazy thing that just happened,
13:40
Speaker 2: and it.
13:40
Speaker 1: Happens by the thousands of cases every single day in
13:45
Speaker 1: Europe and especially the UK. Nope, no friend of ours, sorry,
13:50
Speaker 1: can't have it. The poor guy hopefully made bail or
13:53
Speaker 1: whatever they have over there.
13:55
Speaker 2: All right, after all that, let's lighten it up with
13:57
Speaker 2: my favorite story of the day.
13:58
Speaker 1: It is the Christmas season. Merry Christmas, everybody, and I
14:01
Speaker 1: love how people decorate.
14:03
Speaker 2: I did notice this. I don't know whether it means anything.
14:05
Speaker 1: In my own particular neighborhood, which is usually about like
14:08
Speaker 1: half and half people. It's a pretty big neighborhood. It's
14:10
Speaker 1: like ultimate Suburbia. It about half houses decorate for Christmas in.
14:14
Speaker 2: The holidays, and about half don't.
14:17
Speaker 1: My own anecdotal, completely unscientific observation is more people than
14:21
Speaker 1: ever earlier and more of.
14:24
Speaker 2: It decorated for the holidays this year.
14:27
Speaker 1: That may not mean anything, or it may mean that
14:30
Speaker 1: people are more in the Christmas spirit this year and
14:31
Speaker 1: there's more hope than ever about things like not becoming
14:35
Speaker 1: the UK, or they're just in a good mood and
14:38
Speaker 1: you can't wait for Christmas. Maybe well, there's a Florida
14:41
Speaker 1: man not me checking in on this one.
14:43
Speaker 2: He is in Satellite Beach. I think, oh, Satellite Beach.
14:47
Speaker 1: Hold on, let me get the town right, because if
14:48
Speaker 1: you ever visit this area, you gotta check it out.
14:51
Speaker 2: He is in.
14:52
Speaker 1: I want to get this right because the pictures are amazing.
14:55
Speaker 1: Neptune Beach. Excuse me, if you're in Neptune Beach, Florida,
14:58
Speaker 1: you got to stop by this guy's house because decorated
15:00
Speaker 1: his yard with a giant leg lamp like from the
15:05
Speaker 1: Christmas Story. I actually have a couple of those, but
15:08
Speaker 1: they're decorative and they're like this, and they have it
15:10
Speaker 1: in the back of the pub up here and everything else.
15:13
Speaker 1: But this guy has a twenty foot leg lamp like
15:16
Speaker 1: from Christmas Story. If you didn't see Christmas Story quite frankly,
15:20
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're American, you need to see
15:22
Speaker 1: it because the dad a Christmas Story got the leg
15:25
Speaker 1: lamp and he was so excited about it. It's a
15:27
Speaker 1: major award, says right there for jaylay Well, this guy
15:32
Speaker 1: and this amazing thing is and this goes to my
15:34
Speaker 1: point about people being in the Christmas spirit. Decorated his
15:37
Speaker 1: whole yard with this thing, and his neighbors apparently loved.
15:40
Speaker 4: Four and twenty percent bigger than the one that appears in.
15:43
Speaker 2: The movie for twenty Feet Fall.
15:45
Speaker 4: So this is a golf netting that I bought off Amazon.
15:48
Speaker 4: The fringe fourteen inch fringe is the half mile of
15:52
Speaker 4: that everyone's decorating their houses. And I thought it'd be
15:55
Speaker 4: fun to have like a neighborhood and competition who could
15:58
Speaker 4: have like the best Christmas decorations. And I was tossing
16:01
Speaker 4: at Jurney one night and then I have like this epiphany.
16:03
Speaker 4: Sometimes their kids haven't seen the movie, and they're like,
16:06
Speaker 4: oh no, we got to go home. We're gonna force
16:08
Speaker 4: you to watch this movie, a forty year old movie
16:10
Speaker 4: with no CGI and people are still quoting it forty
16:14
Speaker 4: years later.
16:15
Speaker 1: Man, if you thought you were into your Christmas decorations,
16:17
Speaker 1: this guy had an epiphany in his sleep, that's how
16:19
Speaker 1: much he was thinking about it.
16:21
Speaker 2: I love it.
16:21
Speaker 1: You got to see the pictures and video of this
16:23
Speaker 1: thing on your own time. It's amazing. It's freaking amazing.
16:26
Speaker 1: A lot of work went into this. The great thing
16:28
Speaker 1: is I always expect these stories to come out and
16:31
Speaker 1: it makes the news because neighbors complained, and I'm sure
16:33
Speaker 1: there's a couple of people in the neighborhood not happy
16:35
Speaker 1: about it. I'm sure that always happens. You're always gonna
16:38
Speaker 1: have some grnches. But most people love this. And you
16:42
Speaker 1: know the local Yokal news monkey organization up there, the
16:45
Speaker 1: talking heads went and they talked to some of the neighbors,
16:48
Speaker 1: and everybody seems to be down for it.
16:50
Speaker 2: I love it. Good for you, leg lame man.
16:53
Speaker 1: I bet you he didn't think about where he's going
16:54
Speaker 1: to store this thing in the off season. But that's
16:55
Speaker 1: his problem. It's also this and I thought this was interesting.
16:58
Speaker 1: I don't know why they need their own day, but
17:00
Speaker 1: it's National Christmas Card Day. I don't know what different
17:05
Speaker 1: about any other day. But let me ask you this,
17:09
Speaker 1: when was the last time you sent out a Christmas card?
17:12
Speaker 1: Do you or got one? Because I mean I get
17:16
Speaker 1: a couple. I don't think I've ever sent out a
17:18
Speaker 1: Christmas card, And maybe that's terrible, but these are different times.
17:21
Speaker 2: Now.
17:22
Speaker 1: Do you get those Christmas greeting update family things like
17:25
Speaker 1: it's a novel in the mail. It's like month by month,
17:28
Speaker 1: year by year, what we did this year. I kind
17:30
Speaker 1: of like that I don't mind that. But have Christmas
17:33
Speaker 1: cards gone completely away? Do we have a National Christmas
17:36
Speaker 1: Card Day because big Christmas card is trying to sell.
17:40
Speaker 2: Maybe it's from Hallmark.
17:41
Speaker 1: That's who's behind this. We just figured it out. Hallmark
17:43
Speaker 1: is behind National Christmas Card Day. I think it's a
17:46
Speaker 1: better way to go about this though.
17:47
Speaker 2: I mean, it's personalized. I will say this.
17:49
Speaker 1: If you write Christmas cards now and it actually gets
17:51
Speaker 1: through the snail mail and gets to your loved one,
17:55
Speaker 1: it stands out like a sore thumb in a good
17:57
Speaker 1: way because nobody does it anymore. It's handwritten, a handwritten
18:01
Speaker 1: Christmas card.
18:02
Speaker 2: Good for you. Okay, it's your own choice.
18:05
Speaker 1: If I get one now as a post to like
18:07
Speaker 1: ten years ago, I am, I'm like looking at.
18:09
Speaker 2: It, going God, there's a builds a bit. Wow.
18:12
Speaker 1: Somebody actually wrote a Christmas card and took the time
18:15
Speaker 1: to do it. Not a bad communication technique, That's all
18:18
Speaker 1: I'm saying. Because most of us are are what our
18:21
Speaker 1: loved ones will text them, Hey, Merry Christmas. A little
18:26
Speaker 1: more personalized when you write it. All right, thanks for
18:28
Speaker 1: finding me. The audio podcast is always available wherever you
18:32
Speaker 1: get them. You usually posted a nine am Eastern time
18:34
Speaker 1: right around there. Apple is always a little slower than
18:37
Speaker 1: Spotify and iHeart but it gets there. And then this
18:41
Speaker 1: lives as a repost in the live stream and on
18:43
Speaker 1: YouTube as well.
18:44
Speaker 2: With all that said, what's our takeaway.
18:47
Speaker 1: If you're gonna write a Christmas card, make it personalized,
18:50
Speaker 1: That's what. And don't be afraid to put your decorations
18:53
Speaker 1: out and get your kids playing baseball because you might
18:55
Speaker 1: become the richest sports player of all time, like one
18:58
Speaker 1: Soda did. My God and I was always don't take
19:00
Speaker 1: any crap from anybody. It's Monday, Let's get it going.
19:03
Speaker 1: Let's have a wicked awesome day and a wicked awesome week.
19:05
Speaker 2: I'll talk to you later.
