- 0:09Speaker 1: Them All Up Podcast. Because there were so many people
- 0:12Speaker 1: that wrote in about their Christmas beauting, I thought we
- 0:17Speaker 1: gotta go into a bonus because they're actually really funny.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And I think they're funny because I've created like the
- 0:24Speaker 1: scenario in my mind. Yeah, kind of like the uncle
- 0:27Speaker 1: who threw the full turkey at the tree.
- 0:31Speaker 2: You know, I hope there weren't glass ornaments on it.
- 0:33Speaker 2: That's what I was thinking. They're all shattering.
- 0:35Speaker 3: I would be worried about being fed to clean up
- 0:38Speaker 3: the mess, like.
- 0:39Speaker 4: I feel like that.
- 0:41Speaker 1: I would be watching Christmas Vacation and the grandpa lights
- 0:46Speaker 1: his cigar and blows up the whole tree. Yes, yeah,
- 0:50Speaker 1: the little lights aren't twinkling. He worked really hard, Grandma
- 0:57Speaker 1: or Grandpa washing.
- 0:59Speaker 5: Machine, you guys know, verbatim every you know, Dad knew
- 1:05Speaker 5: the entire Chevy Chase rant he did where he's like, Hellelujah, holy.
- 1:11Speaker 6: Ship, where's the sounds like you.
- 1:17Speaker 3: Like he could do it.
- 1:18Speaker 1: Verb brainless, dickless headed like he knew the whole rant.
- 1:23Speaker 4: I think that's because how he felt.
- 1:25Speaker 6: And you know, Chevy, you know that was ab lipped.
- 1:28Speaker 3: It had to you can't.
- 1:30Speaker 7: Yeah, you can't read that, and then go, okay, let
- 1:33Speaker 7: me re say it like you just gotta go.
- 1:36Speaker 1: You just have to like go for it and make incredible.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I mean still to this day it's the greatest Christmas movie.
- 1:43Speaker 4: Of all time.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Oh it is, for sure in my opinion.
- 1:45Speaker 1: In my opinion as well. But as we've learned, my
- 1:48Speaker 1: opinions are facts, so are my feelings.
- 1:52Speaker 4: Oh God, just kidding you guys, really not. But I
- 1:57Speaker 4: have learned that when I am the wrong.
- 2:00Speaker 1: Like the other day, you guys told me and I
- 2:03Speaker 1: it was in Hawaii, and I was like losing it,
- 2:05Speaker 1: and you guys told me that I was being not
- 2:09Speaker 1: very nice, and I said, you just need to take
- 2:11Speaker 1: it and you go to know, and I was like,
- 2:14Speaker 1: I know that how I'm feeling. It's not I know,
- 2:16Speaker 1: it's my fault. I know I'm incorrect, but you just
- 2:19Speaker 1: have to take it.
- 2:20Speaker 2: Well, it was about the keys, the dumb keys, I know,
- 2:23Speaker 2: and you were so worried.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Well with the tsunami comes, It's like I promise you that.
- 2:28Speaker 1: Well, we spent all of our Hawaiian vacation watching tsunami
- 2:31Speaker 1: movies and documentaries. So yes, I was very concerned, and
- 2:35Speaker 1: I said to you, guys, the key is not in
- 2:37Speaker 1: the basket. And I've told you multiple times that should
- 2:42Speaker 1: we hear the tsunami alarm, the keys need to be
- 2:44Speaker 1: there so that we can implement the plan that we so.
- 2:47Speaker 4: Carefully thought out.
- 2:49Speaker 1: I grab Sosa, Lisa is in charge of getting Ocean
- 2:52Speaker 1: into the car.
- 2:53Speaker 4: No one needs to be buckled in.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Easton can grab the keys, and we're off to the races,
- 2:58Speaker 1: getting up to uh, the mountain of where food Land is.
- 3:03Speaker 1: And I go to get the keys and they're not there.
- 3:05Speaker 1: Should if there would have been warning they were in
- 3:09Speaker 1: the car.
- 3:10Speaker 4: But it doesn't matter. We would have spent hours trying
- 3:12Speaker 4: to find them, hours.
- 3:13Speaker 7: Trying to find them. We're lucky we weren't spending hours
- 3:16Speaker 7: trying to find the car. Scoot scoot gone, car gone.
- 3:20Speaker 7: Holy shit, we would have been fucked.
- 3:23Speaker 3: Your hair looks fine, No it doesn't.
- 3:25Speaker 4: I can see all these like little hair.
- 3:27Speaker 3: And days get hard. It is what it is, life.
- 3:29Speaker 4: Life's I didn't even think about it being stolen.
- 3:34Speaker 3: Oh that was my first thing.
- 3:35Speaker 7: When you were like they were in the car, I
- 3:36Speaker 7: was like, I'm not even gonna say anything, but thank god,
- 3:39Speaker 7: the car was there because they could have.
- 3:40Speaker 3: Jumped the fence.
- 3:45Speaker 4: The car.
- 3:46Speaker 3: A car is a car, and I'm going to tell
- 3:47Speaker 3: you those cars.
- 3:48Speaker 1: We're not looking for lambows on the They want the scooters.
- 3:52Speaker 3: And whatever car my little Pronto, they'll steal the Chrysler.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Speaking of the Pronto, I think you've come up with
- 4:00Speaker 2: a grand idea. You buy another one when we go
- 4:03Speaker 2: the next time, and then.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Every year.
- 4:07Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 4: I think it's a genius idea.
- 4:09Speaker 1: And what what I have learned is it doesn't need
- 4:11Speaker 1: to be Christmas to have an epic feud. If you
- 4:14Speaker 1: live in the Birmingham household, you're feuding every single day.
- 4:18Speaker 6: But it's always about keys. Where are the keys?
- 4:21Speaker 3: No, our feuds aren't like personal attacks. That's why there's
- 4:25Speaker 3: no no.
- 4:27Speaker 4: But the ones that people wrote in are definitely intense.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Should we start, Yes, I'm ready.
- 4:32Speaker 1: I'm just confused how so many people are down to
- 4:35Speaker 1: just like throw fists.
- 4:38Speaker 3: They're watching a lot of housewives.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Do you think I think.
- 4:41Speaker 1: There's there's I think there's alcohol consumed during this time
- 4:45Speaker 1: of I think you're right.
- 4:46Speaker 3: Yeah, I think a lot of egg down the hatch.
- 4:50Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, Oh Dad loved.
- 4:53Speaker 4: You Spike his no who knows, No, don't.
- 4:57Speaker 3: I don't know about that.
- 4:58Speaker 6: I wasn't a big drinker then.
- 5:00Speaker 7: Oh guess why he never spiked it because he'd always
- 5:02Speaker 7: tell me to try it because he was trying.
- 5:04Speaker 3: To push the eggnog with a bit of sprite. Oh
- 5:08Speaker 3: you remember that. Yeah, you try that, and I try
- 5:12Speaker 3: it was I mean it was good. I think I'd
- 5:14Speaker 3: like it more now than when I was eighteen. But yeah,
- 5:18Speaker 3: doing that.
- 5:18Speaker 1: Yeah, And he also was very into during Christmas time,
- 5:22Speaker 1: he started drinking red wine with a little coke in it,
- 5:26Speaker 1: not cocaine, Coca cola. Yeah, you're right. That was a
- 5:30Speaker 1: weird thing that he started doing.
- 5:32Speaker 3: You know what.
- 5:32Speaker 6: Somebody introduced him to it and he loved it.
- 5:36Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 5:36Speaker 1: Well, I mean it's probably the Mormon version of like,
- 5:40Speaker 1: you know, it's like having a dirty soda, having.
- 5:42Speaker 2: Dirty because you don't put a good burlow in with
- 5:47Speaker 2: a coke.
- 5:47Speaker 6: Okay.
- 5:48Speaker 1: I know my dad well, And he could have been
- 5:50Speaker 1: a billionaire or a no air at all, and he
- 5:53Speaker 1: was still buying bottom shelf whatever.
- 5:55Speaker 4: He was a big fan of the saving money.
- 5:58Speaker 1: I would send him out to get like cold medicine,
- 6:02Speaker 1: and he would always come back with this store with
- 6:05Speaker 1: the store brand and make me. And I'd be like, Dad, like,
- 6:09Speaker 1: why didn't you get me nay quill?
- 6:11Speaker 4: And He's like, well there's look at the ingredients. It's
- 6:13Speaker 4: the exact same but cheaper.
- 6:15Speaker 2: And I'm alright, Well, he's the one that wants you
- 6:17Speaker 2: to get a Corolla for your first car.
- 6:19Speaker 4: He's the one that toilet paper.
- 6:23Speaker 7: I do that, but the knockoff medications like America's bad.
- 6:28Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.
- 6:29Speaker 4: Who knows, but you don't.
- 6:30Speaker 3: I'm the Kroger brand because it's great. I can't go,
- 6:34Speaker 3: go go, No.
- 6:35Speaker 2: Can I tell you my pet Peeve in Hawaii tell
- 6:38Speaker 2: us the one play toilet paper.
- 6:39Speaker 4: It's my whole entire bottom half is tore up.
- 6:44Speaker 2: And I send Eastern to the store to get two
- 6:46Speaker 2: play too far?
- 6:48Speaker 3: What did you want me to do?
- 6:49Speaker 1: I didn't have any No, Hawaii is a big fan
- 6:52Speaker 1: of the Scott toilet paper I went to get.
- 6:55Speaker 3: I could have got Sharman. I could have got Sharman.
- 6:59Speaker 4: Why didn't you?
- 7:00Speaker 7: I've gotten charmed sixteen fucking rolls for two days.
- 7:04Speaker 3: No, we should have got it. The first table went.
- 7:08Speaker 7: I just bought the four because they didn't have any
- 7:11Speaker 7: other things. In the floor, and I thought we leave
- 7:14Speaker 7: on Saturday and it's Thursday. I don't care that much
- 7:17Speaker 7: about sixteen, so that I.
- 7:19Speaker 6: Thought they only had one ply on the island.
- 7:22Speaker 4: Okay, here we are sitting all over.
- 7:24Speaker 6: Sorry, sorry, but they didn't.
- 7:27Speaker 3: I mean they had one box, that was it.
- 7:30Speaker 7: So whoever is there, it's like COVID for them, they're
- 7:33Speaker 7: still buying up the toilet paper.
- 7:35Speaker 1: You can't even make an excuse because even in Palm Springs,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I sent you out to get toilet paper and you
- 7:39Speaker 1: got one ply.
- 7:40Speaker 4: And I could not believe.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Scot is the best. So guess what he has all
- 7:45Speaker 2: the Scott in his bathroom and he can enjoy.
- 7:47Speaker 4: I wonder if Scott will sponsor the podcast.
- 7:49Speaker 6: Now we're.
- 7:52Speaker 4: No, but it reminded me of like going to.
- 7:54Speaker 3: School, you know, or to the airport.
- 7:57Speaker 4: Oh, it's the worst. This this person said.
- 8:00Speaker 1: The family feud usually has to do it is what
- 8:03Speaker 1: she said. Deciding which families to visit is always a feud,
- 8:06Speaker 1: especially hard when you have divorced parents.
- 8:09Speaker 4: That would be really hard. Here's what I.
- 8:11Speaker 3: Think, Brandon or brother.
- 8:15Speaker 1: He did, yes, but imagine this, It's like four Christmases
- 8:20Speaker 1: because you've got you're now married, and if both sides
- 8:23Speaker 1: have divorced parents, you got to have four Christmases.
- 8:26Speaker 4: To me, I kind of like that kind of day.
- 8:30Speaker 1: Like I always loved going to Grandma's house over Mimi's house.
- 8:34Speaker 1: Don't be offended them and it has nothing to do
- 8:36Speaker 1: with mem Okay, well here we go, because my mom's
- 8:40Speaker 1: at Memi and Bob's. It was like fine china, crystal ware,
- 8:44Speaker 1: a pristine just set.
- 8:47Speaker 6: Up eating at nine o'clock at night.
- 8:50Speaker 1: It was very intense for children, especially Grandma's house. We
- 8:54Speaker 1: were eating out of like the ten things that you
- 8:56Speaker 1: buy at the grocery store. For many people it paper plates.
- 9:01Speaker 1: It was just as a kid, I enjoyed going there
- 9:03Speaker 1: because there were a lot of cousins.
- 9:05Speaker 4: Yeah, but it was a nice balance.
- 9:08Speaker 7: I just hated getting home to play with all of
- 9:10Speaker 7: my new Christmas toys, but we had family time.
- 9:15Speaker 3: Fuck, I love it.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I fought with my mom because she refused to acknowledge
- 9:20Speaker 1: my step kids at Christmas.
- 9:22Speaker 6: What a bitch.
- 9:23Speaker 4: Sorry, sorry, I don't mean to call you, but what
- 9:26Speaker 4: a bit.
- 9:26Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean I've had step kids at one
- 9:30Speaker 1: point in time, and I think I would also be
- 9:32Speaker 1: furious if my mother chose to just not acknowledge their presence.
- 9:36Speaker 1: It's like their children, they literally have no say in
- 9:39Speaker 1: the matter.
- 9:39Speaker 3: Meanwhile, you're sleeping and she wanted to sleep over every
- 9:42Speaker 3: night with you.
- 9:43Speaker 4: Are you talking about.
- 9:46Speaker 3: You were sleeping with righte fry.
- 9:48Speaker 4: You were a great bonus.
- 9:50Speaker 1: I know we still see them all the time. You
- 9:52Speaker 1: were You were a fabulous bonus grandma. And that's like,
- 9:56Speaker 1: that's one thing that that is is step children because
- 10:03Speaker 1: you feel like it's a personal attack because.
- 10:05Speaker 4: They the grandma thing. I don't understand.
- 10:07Speaker 1: But becoming a step mom, you look at the way
- 10:10Speaker 1: your partner looks at the children and you think, wow,
- 10:14Speaker 1: this other woman.
- 10:15Speaker 4: Gave him these kids that he will.
- 10:18Speaker 1: Never love anything more than that, right, And when you
- 10:21Speaker 1: don't have kids, you don't realize that, Like it doesn't
- 10:25Speaker 1: mean he loves the ex wife. No, he just loves
- 10:28Speaker 1: his children. And the kids have zero say. They just
- 10:31Speaker 1: like arrived on planet Earth because you two decided to
- 10:33Speaker 1: fuck each other and then not stay together.
- 10:35Speaker 4: Make it pleasant.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Ye acknowledge if I ever have stepchildren, it'll be such
- 10:40Speaker 1: a different ballgame. And I've spoken about this, like I
- 10:44Speaker 1: will have the exes back through thick and thin, because
- 10:48Speaker 1: that's what I would hope for when my children take
- 10:52Speaker 1: on a step person.
- 10:53Speaker 7: If somebody you know, like step kids over, like say
- 10:56Speaker 7: you did, and he brought his other kids over. I'm
- 11:00Speaker 7: the type of person who is going to make the
- 11:02Speaker 7: other step kids feel more at home because I want them.
- 11:07Speaker 4: To, because you're already feeling out.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Of like you couldn't feel more out of place.
- 11:10Speaker 7: So I am going to step the line to make
- 11:13Speaker 7: you feel so comfortable.
- 11:15Speaker 4: You're great at that.
- 11:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm biting my tongue at that.
- 11:18Speaker 2: That old bad she is called an old bag to.
- 11:23Speaker 4: My vegan brother.
- 11:25Speaker 1: My vegan brother sat everyone down and told us all
- 11:28Speaker 1: how we were murderers.
- 11:30Speaker 7: I was, hey, I I there is such thing as
- 11:37Speaker 7: too much meat in a diet. I really do people
- 11:40Speaker 7: who eat meat every day?
- 11:42Speaker 2: You know, I don't know how people eat like a
- 11:45Speaker 2: drumstick like that's the chicken leg like or.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Wings all of that.
- 11:52Speaker 6: I can't that but disgusting.
- 11:55Speaker 3: But you got to enjoy it.
- 11:57Speaker 7: You need I know we've and you have to have
- 12:01Speaker 7: it in your diet because if you don't, you feel like.
- 12:04Speaker 1: There are some vegetarians or vegans that are like you
- 12:08Speaker 1: don't have to you can supplement with this, that and
- 12:10Speaker 1: the other. But then there are other people on the
- 12:12Speaker 1: other end who say there are specific blood types and
- 12:16Speaker 1: other scientific jargon goes into it to where there are
- 12:20Speaker 1: certain people who absolutely have to have some sort of meeting.
- 12:26Speaker 3: Once a week.
- 12:27Speaker 1: Maybe, well that's all I need, according to this vegan brother,
- 12:31Speaker 1: you're a fucking murderer.
- 12:32Speaker 3: Well I need it for my loins.
- 12:36Speaker 1: My sister showed my boss her boobs. Haven't talked to
- 12:39Speaker 1: my sister in three years now. I can read my
- 12:44Speaker 1: sister show my boss her boobs and they haven't spoken
- 12:47Speaker 1: in three years.
- 12:47Speaker 6: She was probably a little tipsy, but like, what does

- 13:15Speaker 4: It's so interesting?
- 13:16Speaker 1: And did this woman get fired or did she get
- 13:18Speaker 1: a promotion after? Because if you got promoted, you should definitely.
- 13:21Speaker 6: Talk to your sister.
- 13:23Speaker 3: Maybe, yeah, don't you?
- 13:24Speaker 6: And I wondered maybe she had just gotten a new
- 13:26Speaker 6: boob job or something.
- 13:27Speaker 3: Right shut off.
- 13:28Speaker 4: When you get a new boob job, you do want
- 13:30Speaker 4: to show them off.
- 13:31Speaker 1: My first Christmas after my parents split up in November,
- 13:34Speaker 1: I was eleven, bro was eighteen. My bro had a
- 13:37Speaker 1: melt down and started throwing mandarin orges against the wall.
- 13:41Speaker 4: One hit me and I fell down the stairs.
- 13:43Speaker 1: Oh that night my uncle also passed out, and to
- 13:45Speaker 1: just wait, good times.
- 13:49Speaker 4: Can I'll tell you what I was reminding me of.
- 13:50Speaker 3: A picture the neighbors that you went to after a call.
- 13:55Speaker 3: I picture. I don't want to say his name, but
- 13:59Speaker 3: I know, picture him.
- 14:01Speaker 1: The place I'm picturing him, and then the little kid
- 14:05Speaker 1: or the brother, Oh he was eighteen throwing mans in
- 14:08Speaker 1: oranges even better. But in my mind it's four Christmases
- 14:12Speaker 1: after the little boy doesn't get what he wants and
- 14:15Speaker 1: he starts taking off his clothes and and the mom
- 14:18Speaker 1: is like, he tands to streak. When he gets up sicked,
- 14:22Speaker 1: he's like throwing shit buttony ki. I'm picturing it that
- 14:27Speaker 1: And then I imagine orangeting a little girl. But they
- 14:31Speaker 1: played in slow mow like it's something really hard and
- 14:34Speaker 1: she just ella falls down the stairs.
- 14:38Speaker 4: These are so funny?
- 14:39Speaker 3: Crazy or asleep at this?
- 14:41Speaker 6: Can I tell you?

- 14:48Speaker 2: were little. Yeah, and they would stay literally till one
- 14:52Speaker 2: o'clock in the morning, having their wine and chatting.
- 14:54Speaker 4: He's getting schnockered.
- 14:56Speaker 6: They don't have I still had to put Sanna gifts
- 14:59Speaker 6: together and.
- 15:00Speaker 1: Out little self awareness, so rude, you know, class I'd.
- 15:04Speaker 2: Used them, That's what I would have done. And I
- 15:06Speaker 2: had to do dishes. So I'm in the kitchen doing
- 15:09Speaker 2: dishes and they're all having again.
- 15:11Speaker 7: No, no, no, no, no, you should have done things differently.
- 15:16Speaker 7: Well that, but dishes. When people are doing dishes, that's
- 15:20Speaker 7: not a key that the night is over. If I
- 15:22Speaker 7: would have seen you starting to build shit, I'd have
- 15:24Speaker 7: been like, all right, let's get out of here.

- 15:29Speaker 3: because dishes is like the Yeah, the night is, the
- 15:32Speaker 3: dinner's over.
- 15:33Speaker 6: But the night literally it'd be one o'clock in the morning.
- 15:35Speaker 3: If I saw you putting together gifts, don't give you
- 15:37Speaker 3: credit for what you did.
- 15:39Speaker 2: And then I had another time where Dad had some
- 15:43Speaker 2: friends over and they got schnockered.
- 15:45Speaker 4: And it was getting schnockered three o'clock.
- 15:48Speaker 2: In the morning, I swear to you, and you were
- 15:52Speaker 2: a new baby, you were three months old. I had
- 15:55Speaker 2: gone up to bed and got up to feed you
- 15:58Speaker 2: and they were still downstairs.
- 15:59Speaker 7: I don't know why you're bitching about that, like she's
- 16:01Speaker 7: gonna wake up Christmas morning like rip on.

- 16:19Speaker 1: that's I would be exhausted.
- 16:21Speaker 6: You know what.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Let's take this moment to say things.
- 16:23Speaker 1: Thank you putting on such a fantastic Christmas time for us.
- 16:27Speaker 3: You really did come. Loved Christmas.
- 16:30Speaker 7: I had sit on the stairs with the French doors closed, yeah,
- 16:34Speaker 7: so I.
- 16:35Speaker 2: Could get my video camera house so I could film
- 16:37Speaker 2: you guys seeing your gifts.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 16:39Speaker 6: Yeah, it was great. It was very and I love decorating.
- 16:42Speaker 6: I love the whole thing, but.
- 16:43Speaker 1: Not only like of course, the gifts were really fun
- 16:47Speaker 1: as a kid, and like they were so spectacular that
- 16:49Speaker 1: I always thought Santa Claus was real because I thought,
- 16:51Speaker 1: how could he not be? But not only did you
- 16:53Speaker 1: and Dad provide that, but you also provided the feeling
- 16:57Speaker 1: of Christmas.
- 16:58Speaker 3: That's the one thing, like the feeling of it.
- 17:01Speaker 7: You every Christmas I can remember, thus waking them up,
- 17:06Speaker 7: sitting on the stairs where Santa eight days and milk, yeah,
- 17:11Speaker 7: and then me and you're just sitting there and thank
- 17:13Speaker 7: you for you need some praise on this too, because
- 17:17Speaker 7: your experience was ruined well before mine, and you did
- 17:20Speaker 7: very well to make me still believe.
- 17:23Speaker 3: So very good on you. I don't think you get
- 17:24Speaker 3: enough crisic. Well, thank you so.
- 17:26Speaker 7: But yeah, like walking through the two French doors as
- 17:30Speaker 7: moms backing up.
- 17:31Speaker 3: The gifts are all great, but after that.
- 17:34Speaker 7: One point of walking through, I forget everything because everything
- 17:37Speaker 7: was so chaotic after that. But I remember every Christmas
- 17:40Speaker 7: like just walking down and like doing that and that experience.
- 17:44Speaker 1: I think that's what's I think it's really important to also,
- 17:46Speaker 1: and I know that Christmas is now considered a commercial holiday,
- 17:50Speaker 1: which is it's fine, It's not really what I would
- 17:53Speaker 1: prefer for me It's much more sentimental than that and
- 17:56Speaker 1: why we celebrate.
- 17:57Speaker 4: I'm not religious, I'm spiritual.
- 17:58Speaker 1: But for me, it was the feeling of Christmas time
- 18:02Speaker 1: rolling around that I've been able to carry with me through. Okay,
- 18:06Speaker 1: Santa is not real anymore, but it didn't matter, because
- 18:09Speaker 1: that wasn't what made Christmas special to me. It was
- 18:11Speaker 1: like the feeling that you and Dad provided and the
- 18:13Speaker 1: traditions that we did. That's what I hope to have
- 18:16Speaker 1: with Sosa and Ocean that well, beyond finding out that
- 18:20Speaker 1: you know, Sanna is not real and just gifts are
- 18:22Speaker 1: being given for who the fuck knows.
- 18:24Speaker 4: Why, right, Because the other thing feeling.
- 18:26Speaker 7: Elmer like that is the other thing I could. I
- 18:30Speaker 7: don't know what the fuck I got, but there were
- 18:32Speaker 7: times where like he would leave me a sucker, but
- 18:34Speaker 7: it was just like, I mean, I got amazing things,
- 18:37Speaker 7: but it was as simple as I got like a
- 18:40Speaker 7: bag of candy one day. Yeah, And I couldn't be.
- 18:42Speaker 3: More excited because of just the experience of where.
- 18:45Speaker 4: Do you keep elmer?
- 18:47Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 18:47Speaker 3: And that is the fun thing. It was more the gifts,
- 18:49Speaker 3: that's the other thing. And I spoke about that. Don't
- 18:51Speaker 3: stress about the gifts it's the production of what you're
- 18:54Speaker 3: giving them is the meaningful thing.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Yeah, and my favorite thing was when we would go
- 18:58Speaker 2: downtown before Christmas because when you guys got older, that's
- 19:02Speaker 2: what we did, and we go with the Ressins, I remember,
- 19:05Speaker 2: and we'd go on chocolate and Christmas lights.
- 19:08Speaker 6: We'd have dinner downtown.
- 19:09Speaker 3: It was so much fun, the little Grand America.
- 19:12Speaker 2: We'd go to Grand America, we'd go to the Maria,
- 19:14Speaker 2: we'd go to Olive Garden.
- 19:15Speaker 6: Think about it.
- 19:16Speaker 2: We did so many different things, but we'd always go
- 19:18Speaker 2: downtown and have dinner, go see the Christmas lights, get
- 19:22Speaker 2: hot chocolate.
- 19:22Speaker 4: It was so it was so fun and so cute.
- 19:24Speaker 6: And that's what got us into the Christmas spirit too.
- 19:27Speaker 3: Well. I remember also doing that, and then me.
- 19:31Speaker 7: Zach and Bart and Dad still would walk over to
- 19:35Speaker 7: the Grand America in that bar. I can't remember that
- 19:37Speaker 7: little bar, but that was so Christmas like Christmasy to
- 19:41Speaker 7: me because you're walking down that hall, two big trees
- 19:44Speaker 7: and then you just go in and there's garlands everywhere.
- 19:46Speaker 3: It just like it was so fun.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Yeah, and remember we would also stay downtown overnight. Yeah, yeah,
- 19:54Speaker 2: during December.
- 19:55Speaker 4: Yeah, there's just.
- 19:56Speaker 1: Little things that that stick with me that I want
- 19:58Speaker 1: to do for so in ocean. Back to feuds and
- 20:04Speaker 1: being raunchy.
- 20:05Speaker 4: I love this.
- 20:05Speaker 1: I slept with my brother's friend at my parents' house
- 20:08Speaker 1: while we had a party.

- 20:16Speaker 1: probably let me know, babe, because.

- 20:21Speaker 7: Because if your brother doesn't know, you're about to a friendship.
- 20:25Speaker 7: Because I couldn't look at my buddy and be like,
- 20:27Speaker 7: you fucked my sister.
- 20:28Speaker 1: My guy, you're either, I'd be so weird it now.
- 20:30Speaker 1: I remember when she I think it was Katie after
- 20:33Speaker 1: my dad's wake. Katie was like, yeah, she was sitting
- 20:36Speaker 1: on your brother's lap and flirting with him, and I
- 20:38Speaker 1: about had her head on a platter.
- 20:40Speaker 3: No, I think she's just I know she should have
- 20:45Speaker 3: I love I do too.
- 20:47Speaker 1: She knows my security blanket. I texted her that this morning.
- 20:50Speaker 1: I was like, by the way, I love you, thank
- 20:53Speaker 1: you for taking care of me in the group chat.

- 21:10Speaker 3: There's a special place in my heart for Ron. He's
- 21:12Speaker 3: just like Dad. That's the exact thing.
- 21:14Speaker 7: Like he was just talking when we were there, and
- 21:15Speaker 7: I was like, I'm fucking talking with my dad right now.
- 21:17Speaker 3: This is wild.

- 21:36Speaker 6: was fucking my gift.
- 21:38Speaker 3: I see you doing.
- 21:40Speaker 1: My family does monopoly every year, and if someone isn't crying,
- 21:43Speaker 1: we don't play. That's no one's crying and having a meltdown.
- 21:48Speaker 4: No monopoly for any of you.
- 21:49Speaker 1: There's nothing funnier than kids sobbing and losing their shit
- 21:53Speaker 1: on Christmas. This one's a long one, so I saved
- 21:55Speaker 1: it for last. Five years ago, my grandma's dementia was
- 21:59Speaker 1: starting to get whole line.
- 22:00Speaker 3: It may be sad.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Oh I had one of those two.
- 22:04Speaker 1: Okay, this one's sentimental, all right, that's not five years ago.
- 22:08Speaker 1: My grandma's dementia was starting to get worse. She couldn't
- 22:11Speaker 1: recognize new faces, but remembered who we were, just not
- 22:14Speaker 1: how we were related. All evening she was obsessively checking
- 22:18Speaker 1: out my boyfriend and asking everyone repeatedly who was that
- 22:22Speaker 1: hung December twenty fifth is also my boyfriend's birthday. While
- 22:27Speaker 1: singing Happy Birthday, Grandma couldn't contain it anymore and ran up,
- 22:30Speaker 1: hopped on his lap, grabbed his face, and planted a huge,
- 22:34Speaker 1: semi lengthy, wet kiss that was long enough for it
- 22:38Speaker 1: to feel uncomfortable.
- 22:40Speaker 4: Right on his lips.
- 22:41Speaker 1: It's one of my Grammy. It's one of my favorite
- 22:46Speaker 1: memories of her. My boyfriends maybe not so much.
- 22:49Speaker 6: Lol.
- 22:49Speaker 4: He said he has.
- 22:52Speaker 3: Therapy, has therapy, and.
- 22:59Speaker 1: He said she you had for sure licked her lips
- 23:02Speaker 1: several times beforehand. Grandma was a great time all the
- 23:06Speaker 1: way to the end, even tearing through the old folks
- 23:08Speaker 1: home she lived in. Very christmast While I'm fam hope
- 23:12Speaker 1: no one's grandma gives any of you a wet kiss
- 23:15Speaker 1: on the lips. It's reminding me of Christmas vacation. The Grandma,
- 23:20Speaker 1: She's like, what do you want to say?
- 23:21Speaker 4: Grace great, she died thirty years ago. And then she's
- 23:25Speaker 4: like great that.
- 23:29Speaker 1: She starts fa, I love that show it.
- 23:35Speaker 4: No, that's her grandma. Couldn't you imagine that woman being like,
- 23:39Speaker 4: who's that hunk?
- 23:40Speaker 3: With her little brain.
- 23:42Speaker 4: As she packed up her fucking cat as a gift
- 23:45Speaker 4: and just.
- 23:46Speaker 3: Licking her lips. I can picture at least she didn't tongue.
- 23:50Speaker 4: That was a great one to end on.
- 23:52Speaker 1: That was I can picture it all, and everyone, you
- 23:55Speaker 1: guys gave me tremendous laughs. I actually now encourage. I
- 23:59Speaker 1: can't wait for next. You just say who was punched
- 24:01Speaker 1: in the face? Whose grandma showed the boyfriend or pussy?
- 24:04Speaker 4: I don't know what the fuck is next.
