You know, progress.
3:30
Dylan, he, got his truck louder.
3:33
Oh, well, good.
3:34
That needed to happen.
3:35
He got it louder and then he got it quieter because I'm like, no, that's too loud.
3:39
You need to take that back and fix that and fix that.
3:42
Tone it down.
3:43
Yeah.
3:43
So, he did that, but yeah, that was really our week what did he do to make it louder?
3:47
Do you know?
3:48
I got like, I don't know what you think.
3:49
A louder kit?
3:50
I don't know, it's like, I don't know.
3:52
I don't know that stuff.
3:54
But there's like two.
3:55
You almost hit your head.
3:55
Straight pipes in the back or something.
3:58
But it sounded like there was an explosion.
4:01
Mm hmm.
4:01
Like legit.
4:02
Mm hmm.
4:03
I'm like, you're gonna get pulled over.
4:04
Well, between that and your neighbors, like, complaining about noise at, because he goes to school so early and stuff.
4:11
Yeah, it might not go well.
4:12
So, no.
4:13
So that he took it back.
4:15
Yeah.
4:15
My mom's really mad.
4:16
Can you make it like, um, quieter needs to be mom and neighborhood and, police approved.
4:23
Yeah, that'd be great.
4:24
He, it's, it's much quieter.
4:25
It's still loud, but much quieter.
4:27
So, yeah.
4:28
Progress.
4:29
Yeah.
4:30
I mean, that's all we can do.
4:30
Yeah, it's just baby steps and, just side note.
4:34
You have the Cindy Lou hair.
4:35
Yes.
4:36
I was, I was definitely, I was, I was pulling her vibe.
4:40

4:43
Oh, Cindy Lou.
4:44
I'm embracing.
4:45
Uh huh.

You always have the cutest little things.
4:53
That encompass.
4:54
Yes.

Absolutely.
4:56
So we had moved our time up to record today because I thought, so it's football playoffs.
5:02
Tonight is Northwestern and Gaffney playing.
5:05
And, I thought that we were going to go to the game because it's supposed to be a really good game between two really good teams.
5:10
And, That we don't really like either one of them, but somebody's got to win and somebody, right?
5:14
So I thought we were going, and it's going to be like 19 degrees.
5:19
So I texted Juicy's mom, I was like, Heather, can Jackson go with, I think, I think the dad has taken Juicy, Banthony, and Jackson, because I was like, I'm trying to sit out there for teams I don't even really like.
5:32
Yeah.
5:32
in 19, in 19 degree weather.
5:35
So that would not happen.
5:36
They can have that.
5:37
So, so I'm free so we can, we can party.
5:39
We can have a good time.
5:41
It's gonna be a good night.
5:42
We can do the things.
5:43
yeah, it's gonna be a good time.
5:44
That'd be a good time.
5:45
Um, yeah, I wouldn't do that either.
5:50
Even with all the layers and the There's still skin showing somewhere.
5:53
There's still skin showing and it's just not worth it.
5:56
I get back from walking him because I have to, I walk him twice a day.
6:00
Yeah.
6:00
and I have a huge coat that comes down like past my knees and gloves and hat.
6:07
But like my, like this stuff is still showing and I get back and I'll like talk to Brandon and he's like, your nose is really red.
6:17
At least you're not blue.
6:19
Like you were last week with the, with the swim with it all.
6:22
So, yeah, it's cold.
6:24
No, I don't do that.
6:25
I don't, I'm not cold approved.
6:26
No, I'm totally, I'm okay if it's cold outside.
6:30
But I don't want to be out there.
6:33
And I like when it gets cold, like it needs to get cold to kill the bugs and the germs and, uh, do whatever it's supposed to do.
6:39
But.
6:39
But I don't want anything to do with it.
6:41
Can it be really a week and I'll go away for that week?
6:43
Sure, sure.
6:45
Can you talk to Mother Nature?
6:46
I will, I'll put in a call.
6:48
I saw something and I don't know if it's true or not because of course that's where I get all my news from is TikTok.
6:52
TikTok.
6:53
But um, I saw something that Asheville was supposed to get hit with a bad snowstorm.
6:58
Um, and really?
6:59
Yeah, like eight to ten inches.
7:01
Oh gosh, I didn't see that.
7:03
Yeah.
7:04
Yeah, I mean I guess it's that time of year though, and they need all that for like the skiing and stuff I guess.
7:09
Are they like a thing yet?
7:10
I think Asheville is okay.
7:11
Okay.
7:12
Um, I mean, you know, everything I read is like different Nothing's consistent, but I'm pretty sure Asheville is okay.
7:19
It's, um, some other towns that are not.
7:22
So I think Asheville, I like Boone where sugar mountain is like all that.
7:25
I think it's okay.
7:26
Okay.
7:26
speaking of tech talk for a new source though.
7:29
So Jackson gets in the car this morning when I take him to school, we're listening to Drake.
7:34
He, he, Does the music in the morning.
7:36
I don't care.
7:37
Um, he's like, Drake's like the number 1 artist that everybody listened to all over the world this year.
7:42
And I'm like, what?
7:44
And he was like, well, maybe just the U.
7:46
S.
7:47
and I was like, Where did you get this from?
7:50
And I said, I don't think that's true because like, even people that like that kind of music don't like Drake.
7:56
Um, I was like, I bet it's like Taylor Swift or Morgan Wallen or like somebody a little more universal kind of.
8:04
And he was like, it's on TikTok mama.
8:05
And I was like, well, look it up again somewhere else.
8:08
And he was like, well, Drake's number two.
8:10
I was like, okay, I said, who's number one?
8:11
He said Taylor Swift.
8:13
It's like do not underestimate the power of girls channeling Taylor Swift.
8:19
I'm not a huge T Swift fan.
8:20
I'm not either.
8:22
I'm not either.
8:22
I, I mean, she can do her thing.
8:24
She's fun.
8:25
Like evolved it.
8:25
Like, yes.
8:26
And you need, yes, you do.
8:28
Yes.
8:28
Wonderful.
8:29
Like Right your own right, but it's just not my vibe anymore.
8:33
Yeah, me neither.
8:34
I appreciate her I'm sure she's great.
8:36
Her shows apparently are amazing.
8:39
Don't know why they're so expensive to go to them, but amazing apparently.
8:42
Yes but Anyway, I'm not gonna that is not a hill.
8:47
I'm gonna die on so don't come for us.
8:48
We're not being Taylor Swift fans.
8:51
No I'm a Kelsey fan.
8:56
Take that out.
8:57
Did you hear, um, what's her face is pregnant?
9:00
Uh, Jason Kelsey's wife again.

9:03
And it's another girl.
9:04
I know he's, he makes girls.
9:07
He does.
9:08
He does make girls.
9:09
Have you seen the videos though?
9:10
I'm sure you have of the one when they're little and they're like, Pretending like they're a center and stuff.
9:14
So cute.
9:15
there was a clip of or a picture of the three girls and like their reaction When they told oh, yes, and they're like, this is typical of them Yeah, when they found out they were having another sister Yeah, and the baby was crying the baby was crying The middle one was like I think black like whatever and the oldest one was like cheesing or something like they were all extremely different reactions and apparently very on Brand for their personalities.
9:39
I thought it was really cute.
9:40
I did too.
9:41
Yeah, four girls.
9:42
My mom had three and a boy.
9:44
Yeah So I couldn't Yeah, I know that sounds rough.
9:47
Yeah, that sounds rough.
9:49
hard pass.
9:50
Yeah.
9:52
I told you your sister messaged you was like, your sister, a friend requested me on Facebook.
9:56
Do we like her?
9:57
Do we like her I mean, I, I figured, but you know, sometimes you never know.
10:02
Yeah, right, right.
10:03
Yeah.
10:03
Anyway, yeah.
10:05
Let's talk about our book.
10:06
Okay, so we read this week Grinch Girl by Michelle Dayton And, side note, we were originally reading a different book, but we both couldn't get into it.
10:15
So it was terrible.
10:16
We totally switched it up and went this way.
10:19
And that's okay.
10:20
Cause, I edited that out last week.
10:24
All right.
10:24
So our little blurb is it's the classic holiday movie set up, but there's a mischief behind the scenes.
10:31
Jane Zielinski plans to create her own present this christmas She throws herself into directing a homemade reality dating web series Single bells as a publicity stunt to keep her struggling small town competitive with the ritzy resort towns luring holiday tourists It's the perfect way to pair up with her crush.
10:48
Michael the boy next door turned most eligible bachelor and Be a hometown hero.
10:53
The gorgeous Bella Bradley, Jane's childhood BFF who skipped town when times got tough, returns with handfuls of cash and his smoking hot business partner, Nate.Wright.
11:02
It's bad enough that Bella immediately upstages Jane's attempts to save the town's Christmas, but she also uses the single bells activities to rekindle her high school romance with Michael.
11:12
Furious, Jane is not above sabotage, cheating, or flirting with the mischievous Nate to win.
11:18
Maybe it's the Christmas shenanigans, maybe it's holiday magic, but suddenly Nate is a lot more than tall, dark, and handsome stranger.
11:26
But is he just a mistletoe fling?
11:29
I thought this was such a cute book.
11:30
It was a cute book.
11:32
So, this is the fourth book in a series, apparently.
11:35
But it's like, I think they're all stand alone.
11:37
Yeah, totally.
11:38
So if you see that it's in a series or if you did, don't hesitate to read it because you can definitely, it's fine.
11:45
super cute book.
11:46
I wouldn't mind reading the others just as like a cute.
11:49
so this had Hallmark Christmas movie vibes.
11:53
It definitely did, but I liked it better than a Hallmark movie.
11:57
Okay.
11:58
I'm not, don't get me wrong.
11:59
I love Hallmark movies.
12:00
Somebody explained them to me this week and they said Hallmark movies are so comforting and they kind of are like, you know, it's going to happen.
12:07
Yeah.
12:08
But it's just the, Comfort of watching something that everything is going to turn out and you know, all the things.
12:13
But this I felt like was just quirky in a good way.
12:18
And, I liked her personality a lot, James.
12:21
Um, and it really focused on She was a little bit snarky and I loved it.
12:25
Right.
12:26
Right.
12:26
A hundred percent.
12:27
She was just, you know, this single lady trying to do her own thing.
12:34
And you know what I loved about this too is, sorry, I'm like rambling.
12:38
I don't know.
12:39
They had Real jobs.
12:41
It wasn't like some made up CEO of this fortune 500 company.
12:46
Like she did like the, um, tech, the, what's it called?
12:50
Geek Squad.
12:51
Best Buy Geek Squad.
12:52
Like that is so relatable.
12:55
different things like that were just so like real to me.
12:59
So I really, really liked this book.
13:02
Yeah.
13:02
And that was actually one of my notes was like, this is all very relatable.
13:05
yes.
13:06
I thought the author, did awesome with the character development.
13:10
Yes.
13:10
and learning everybody's, there was a lot of characters, but you knew everybody's personality and you could distinguish everybody.
13:16
You did, but without knowing too much.
13:18
Like, we know about Bella, we know who she is, we know her story and who she's into and everything.
13:23
But it's not just all consuming about Bella and, and just the other supporting characters too.
13:28
You learn them and all the different things about them, but it's not overload.
13:32
Yeah.
13:33
It was done really well.
13:34
Yeah.
13:35
Very well.
13:35
I had a lot of like comedic relief in there too.
13:38
I mean, there was a lot of comedic relief, which I love.
13:42
like the older lady owning the strip club.
13:44
Yeah.
13:45
That was so funny.
13:46
That was so funny.
13:47
And so many of the comments that she would say, just like, you know, flipping somebody off or something was just in there so quickly that like, it would be easy to miss them.
13:56
And I'm sure I even miss some, but, but just hearing her snark and just her sass was just, yeah, she was cute.
14:03
And then like the younger dude dating her in the show.
14:06
And he was like absolutely enamored with her.
14:08
Yes.
14:09
I loved it.
14:09
And when they did the dirty dance and lift and stuff, like if you didn't read this book and you're looking for just something very lighthearted, I mean, even with the sad stuff, please go for this one.
14:18
This one was really good.
14:19
Yeah.
14:20
so what did you think about, okay, so spoilers.
14:23
Yeah.
14:24
So Greta raised Bella and Jane together.
14:29
Bella was her granddaughter, Jane was not, but she raised her and, Greta dies and leaves her business to the girls.
14:39
What did you think about, like, her leaving it to them the way she did and with the stipulation of what they had to do?
14:45
She knew what she was doing.
14:47
She knew their person.
14:48
I mean, she raised them.
14:48
She knew that if they were stuck together, something was going to break and get that bond back.
14:56
so I, of course, this is like movie, I don't know, in real life.
15:01
Right.
15:01
How practical that would be.
15:03
because I am extremely stubborn and I'd be like, forget it.
15:07
if I was like that mad.
15:10
and I understand both.
15:11
I see both of their sides.
15:12
Yeah.
15:13
with knowing that Bella didn't know what was going on with her grandmother.
15:16
They kept that from her.
15:17
Right.
15:18
They shielded her from that.
15:19
so I can see the resentment that Jane had.
15:23
And even, I mean, just naturally, you're like resentment that that was her actual grandmother, like Bella's actual grandmother, and always kind of feeling like the extra, you know, like the charity case or whatever.
15:34
So, I totally understand the feelings, um, on both girls because then Bella was mad.
15:41
Like, I didn't even have the opportunity to help.
15:43
Right.
15:43
And, and her being even upset, like, that's my grandmother, not yours.
15:48
You should have.
15:49
That's how I would feel too.
15:50
I wanted to know.
15:51
But she didn't even like really hit that.
15:52
Like she wasn't even mad.
15:53
I would have been mad.
15:54
Right.
15:54
That's why.
15:55
Yeah.
15:55
For not telling me.
15:56
Like, how dare you not tell me?
15:57
Right.
15:58
You know, Jane's like, well, that's not my medical.
16:00
And that's true.
16:01
To tell.
16:01
And that's true.
16:02
But still.
16:03
So I see both sides.
16:04
Right.
16:04
Uh huh.
16:05
Yeah But then I thought like okay, so this is Bella's ex boyfriend, right Michael?
16:09
Yes, and Jane wasn't ready to go for him, but she was ready to go for him.
16:13
It's like, oh, that's here I mean like this if you guys are like, mm hmm Have a talk like that's still her like I know first love I know the only thing that I can think is it was so far in the past.
16:25
Yeah, I know but and Bella was like gone From since high school because she never came back.
16:31
Yeah.
16:32
yeah, just, I don't know.
16:33
It was such, I loved it.
16:35
I loved it.
16:35
Yeah.
16:36
Yeah.
16:37
Like for a holiday, like just easy read.
16:40
I loved everything about it.
16:41
I loved the name.
16:42
Uh, I love the single bells concept and I love that it was called single bells.
16:46
Like how adorable is that?
16:47
Yes.
16:47
So the concept was for them to host this dating show with like, I think there were four or five, five couples.
16:53
Yeah.
16:54
And, It was within the town and they would hit hotspots in the town and small businesses and air this to try to get more business to come in.
17:01
And well, then all the audience got to vote on who went on the date.
17:05
Yes.
17:06
It was awesome.
17:06
That was so cute.
17:08
It was so cute.
17:09
so.
17:10
The show though, the name of it, just for some reason, it just like, I loved it.
17:15
Yeah.
17:15
I loved it.
17:16
Yeah.
17:17
Oh, and there was also another couple that were split up and kept getting paired back together.
17:24
I thought that was so cute.
17:25
All of the couples.
17:27
Had, some kind of, mm, funkiness with their, I can't even explain it, but like you said, the, the dude was real young and the lady was older and they kept putting them together with a couple that, like, there was just, there was a backstory to all of them, I guess, there was depth.
17:41
I just, I thought this was such a cute book.
17:43
It was, it was, there was so much going on without being too heavy.
17:47
Yeah.
17:47
I also this whole book is like within like a month, right?
17:50
It spread over like a month.
17:51
Yeah, but the growth that you saw in Jane.
17:53
Was Realistically unrealistic if that makes sense.
17:57
Yeah.
17:58
Obviously for gays, Bella, like they got their friendship back together and that was a big deal for them.
18:03
Yeah.
18:04
And I forget, I, I keep thinking like our age, but they're still young.
18:07
They're young.
18:08
Yeah, they're young.
18:09
Yeah, they're young.
18:10
So even at that age, I don't think I was I don't know as emotionally ready to give that quickly.
18:17
I guess.
18:17
Yeah, no, I wasn't.
18:19
at this age maybe, but not at that age.
18:21
I would have dug my heels in and Oh, a hundred percent.
18:24
but also, you know, she had a lot of abandonment issues.
18:27
She had a lot of love issues and what like really broke me in the book was when she said nobody chooses her.
18:33
And I think that is such a relatable feeling for so many people.
18:39
for her to be able to take that leap at the end of the book.
18:43
I was like, yeah, well, and the way that she, the way that she put that into words, I mean, it's a really short, small sentence, you know, nobody chooses me, but you think nobody loves me or nobody, whatever, but nobody chooses me.
18:57
I think we all feel that way at times.
18:59
Yeah.
18:59
And yeah, Have her say it and to work through it.
19:03
it was, it was good to be around for that.
19:05
Yeah, when she fell in the water Oh that I can't handle water things.
19:11
I can swim and I'm good.
19:13
But just the thought of being trapped underwater freaks me out Yeah, did you think that it was gonna be Bella that pulled her out or who do you think was made that Nate?
19:20
Yeah, yeah But I love that it was Bella.
19:23
I did too.
19:24
And it was just an, okay, so it was just another great thing about the book that it's predictably unpredictable.
19:29
Yeah.
19:30
Um, you knew she was going to get saved from somebody, but who's it going to be?
19:34
And it ends up being her, her friends.
19:35
So, and then your lips match.
19:38
Like, it was such a cute little, Yeah, my favorite, favorite part was the references to Piggly Wiggly.
19:43
Yes.
19:46
You caught that too.
19:49
Uh, but you know, small time, small town vibe.
19:51
I just, it was such a, it was, it was good.
19:53
Yeah.
19:53
I liked it a lot.
19:54
I did too.
19:55
Good pick.
19:55
Good choice.
19:56
Yeah.
19:56
what would you give it?
19:57
like a solid eight.
19:58
Yeah.
19:58
Same.
19:59
Yeah.
19:59
For this, for this type of book.
20:01
Right.
20:01
It was, it was great.
20:02
It was just what you wanted it to be.
20:03
Now there was some spice in the book.
20:05
A little tiny bit.
20:06
A little tiny bit of spice.
20:08
so.
20:08
Half a chili pepper.
20:10
Yeah, half a chili pepper.
20:14
Not as spicy as some of the other ones we've read.
20:16
Uh huh.
20:16
And definitely not the Lusty Grinch or whatever it was.
20:21
But, but yeah, there was a little bit of that there, but it was still It wasn't like a filthy smutty smut, which there's nothing wrong with smutty smut, by the way, if people want to read smutty smut.
20:30
Take all that out, Steph.
20:33
So yeah, I give that one an eight too.
20:35
Yeah.
20:35
Um, so next week, our theme is going to be the Santa Claus.
20:42
Yes.
20:42
The Santa Claus.
20:45
Because there's multiple.
20:46
There might be.
20:47
You know what?
20:48
You never know.
20:49
Um, so our book is Slay Spells.
20:51
Okay.
20:52
And that is by Bella Falls.
20:54
And it just, it looks a little, um, fantastical.
20:59
So I thought it'd be a nice little switch.
21:01
For for what we got going on.
21:02
Hopefully it doesn't suck.
21:04
We shall find out.
21:05
We shall find out.
21:06
We need to change it.
21:07
We will change it.
21:09
We are not scared to do that.
21:10
No, because life's too short for bad books.
21:15
We're going to get that on the shirt.
21:16
Absolutely.
21:18
Okay guys, we actually did have to choose a different book because both of us, weren't just not feeling the slate spells.
21:24
So we are going with the Santa's killer by Ross Greenwood for our next book, because life is too short for bad books.
21:31
All right.
21:32
So, um, what kind of Grinchiness did you find?
21:35
Okay.
21:35
So, I just did a little digging on the Grinch himself.
21:40
Oh.
21:41
I looked up some Grinch crimes.
21:43
There's some tons, actually.
21:46
but I just did some backstory on the Grinch himself.
21:48
I like it.
21:49
Can I tell you about the Grinch?
21:50
She's my history girl here.
21:51
Yes.
21:52
Yes, yes, the history, the history nerd.
21:54
Actually, you can say it.
21:56
So, the Grinch was eight years old when he went to Mount Crumpet and then he spent 53 years there.
22:02
So at the time of the book, or slash movie, he was 61.
22:07
I would never have guessed that.
22:08
Mm hmm.
22:09
He was alone in that cave for 63 years.
22:12
So that means that he would have been born in 1896.
22:15
Oh my god.
22:16
I know, isn't that crazy?
22:18
he does not look that old.
22:20
I know.
22:21
I know.
22:22
Well, he kinda looks 60.
22:24
I don't know.
22:26
He's had some work done.
22:28
He has a bowtie.
22:29
He has had some work done.
22:30
Actually, no, he says he's very wrinkly.
22:32
He is.
22:33
Well, you know, the fur.
22:34
Yeah.
22:34
Covers up some of that.
22:36
But, but yeah, actually speaking of butt, he could probably do with some butt work.
22:41
Some butt implants.
22:43
Do some cupping on that.
22:44
I saw somebody had a costume on TikTok, they were doing like a Grinch, but the Grinch had a boobie.
22:50
Like, really?
22:51
Like on this Grinch costume?
22:52
It was, how?
22:55
Good to know.
22:56
Boom, boom powers.
22:57
Boom, boom powers, right?
23:01
okay.
23:01
So, you know, we, we say what was wrong with the Grinch, right?
23:05
Like he was just, he was Grinch.
23:08
First of all, we never know his real name.
23:10
No, we never know his real name.
23:12
He's just the Grinch.
23:13
Was that his name?
23:15
We don't know.
23:16
We don't know.
23:17
But anyway, so he apparently had, if there was a psychiatrist that would evaluate the Grinch now and this was on a website and I can give you the source so you can put it in there.
23:30
He had numerous psychologic brain and spine conditions, apparently, including having, many psychotic breaks.
23:41
So, I mean, he really had some things going on.
23:44
He was, yeah.
23:45
He talked to himself.
23:46
He asked himself questions.
23:47
He answered himself.
23:48
He did, like full conversations with himself.
23:51
Yeah.
23:51
okay.
23:51
But then when we just get down to like what the Grinch really did, so what crimes could we charge the Grinch with?
23:57
Oh, I have the same thing.
23:59
Everybody have the same thing?
24:00
Okay.
24:01
Okay, we can, we can go through those when you're ready.
24:04
but yeah, so those are, you might have a different source than I might, but I might, but, but our list is probably the same.
24:08
You want to go ahead and talk about it.
24:10
Mine was they had like pulled a bunch of judges.
24:12
Yes.
24:13
And.
24:14
One judge said that we don't know what the laws were in Whoville.
24:18
Very true, very true.
24:19
We don't know what we would have charged the Grinch with.
24:21
but there was a judge from Charleston, South, er, Charleston County.
24:26
I like your source.
24:27
Yes, Judge Irv Condon would have charged the Grinch, or actually, they actually were charging the Grinch and the Who's.
24:35
Okay.
24:35
Because there were some hate crimes.
24:36
Okay, yeah.
24:38
Yeah.
24:38
100%.
24:40
So, This judge from Charleston County said that they would charge with intrusion upon seclusion, invasion of privacy, which was the Grinch spying on the who's in their homes.
24:51
Animal cruelty the Grinch to his dog Max throughout the entire story.
24:55
Absolutely.
24:56
Yep.
24:56
Private, nuisance noise ordinance violations with the who's singing and playing instruments, disturbing the Grinch's enjoyment of.
25:03
And use of his own property.
25:05
Okay.
25:07
identity theft, the Grinch stealing Santa's identity.
25:10
Breaking and entering Grinch into the Who's homes through the chimney without permission.
25:15
Larceny, Grinch taking and carrying away Who's property without their consent and with the intent to permanently deprive the Who's of their Christmas gifts.
25:24
And decorations, most likely grand larceny due to the amount of items and their value.
25:29
Yep.
25:29
Burglary.
25:30
Grinch enters home occupied by Cindy Lou Who among other children with the intent to commit a crime.
25:36
Conversion.
25:37
Grinch uses property of the Who's in a manner that is inconsistent with the Who's rights to the property.
25:45
Robbery.
25:45
Grinch takes candy canes from the children's persons.
25:49
However, this crime may fail since the children were asleep and he didn't threaten Cindy Lou Who when she woke up.
25:55
Okay.
25:55
That's fair.
25:56
That's fair.
25:57
destruction of property, assuming that when the sleds started down Mount Crumpit, some personal property of the Hoos was destroyed.
26:05
Okay.
26:05
So then Oakland County, Michigan Judge Rhonda.
26:09
Folks gross and San Juan County, New Mexico judge Rena Scott added the following crimes, trespassing, stalking, disorderly conduct, criminal scheme to defraud, assault and battery, harassment, retail fraud, child neglect, abuse, criminal mischief and nuisance, criminal conspiracy, animal poaching, reckless driving, driving without a license, maintaining repute, criminal mischief, child endangerment, criminal damage to property, Properties, illegal dumping, disorderly conduct, indecent exposure, improper lamp equipment on vehicle, illegal parking, no seat belt violation, speeding, exceeding vehicle load, no commercial driver's license, disturbing the peace, excessive decorations, extortion, and bribery.
26:59
He would be spending some time.
27:02
Get like 25 to life.
27:04
Yeah.
27:04
I said, oh, then the next thing says, although most judges commented on laws, the Grinch violated Kent County, Delaware, Judge Kevin L.
27:12
Wilson chose to imagine an emergent crime wave in Whoville.
27:17
This is a quote, the weather outside is frightful, so thefts Of coats and gloves will be on the rise.
27:23
The fire is delightful in the post office.
27:26
So drinking will be on the rise with DUIs and drunk and disorderly conduct, keeping the cells full.
27:32
With snow coming down, domestics will be on the rise in general.
27:36
The who's will be breaking laws by the plenty and with no corn for popping shoplifting will not be stopping.
27:45
That's really cute.
27:46
I also saw that, I guess some.
27:49
I don't know if it was law schools or like a debate class or something used this situation for debates or trying to prove them like you said, yeah, guilty or, convict them of certain things.
28:01
Yeah so there was something from a college and it said that there's a conspiracy that the who's actually Took out the entire Grinch race and the Grinch was like the last one and they felt bad because it was a baby So they they saved it but then he was so different that it was all these hate crimes that were done against him And that's why I was you know I will tell you that I really always wondered why the Grinch looked so different than everybody else.
28:26
Yeah like I think they're on something.
28:29
Yeah.
28:29
So that is 1 theory.
28:31
Yeah.
28:32
That this college class had come up with, but, yeah, that's hilarious.
28:36
But I just thought this was so funny that that is that's funny that we both like, we're digging into that mine was, I mean, anything that I missed your 2nd judge, they're covered it and more like, she really went.
28:49
In on everything, like, like excessive decorating.
28:54
I got, we've got another story related.
28:56
Okay.
28:56
Okay.
28:57
Yeah.
28:57
Okay.
28:57
but is that not funny?
28:59
Yeah, that's pretty cute.
29:00
That's funny.
29:01
That's funny to me that like.
29:03
real official judges took the time to do.
29:06
25.
29:07
They interviewed 25 judges.
29:08
And they took the time to answer and respond and everything.
29:11
In such detail.
29:12
Yes.
29:14
And like telling you the whys and everything.
29:16
Everybody loves Christmas.
29:17
I wonder if they went back and watched it again before they gave their answers.
29:21
Because I wouldn't remember everything.
29:22
No, but it, but you know what?
29:25
Judges probably have a way better memory than me.
29:26
Oh, yeah.
29:27
Kind of like Judge Joe Brown.
29:28
Yeah.
29:29
So I, as I was like searching just Grinch crime.
29:33
there was a story that I found on some message board, but it was for local crimes or whatever.
29:38
And it said petty, and you know, I love some petty.
29:42
Oh, yes.
29:43
I'm I love me a petty Betty, petty Grinch decorations.
29:46
And this was in San Jose, California in 2004, which was the year that I got married.
29:55
There is this really affluent area nearby, and one of the homeowners there would do this outrageous Christmas display every year that would attract literally over 100, 000 people.
30:07
And one of the news articles that was linked, it said close to 240, 000 people a year.
30:13
he'd serve cookies and cocos, collected toys for tots, and would match the donations himself.
30:19
And this neighbor got really mad and tired of the traffic, so he fought for years with the city council and finally got them to pass an ordinance.
30:26
Anyway, the story's below, which they had a link to it.
30:29
But what the guy did was he had a Hollywood prop company make him a 10 foot tall Grinch that is the only thing on his lawn this year.
30:38
It plays a song, You're a mean one, Mr.
30:40
Grinch, and the thing moves, lifts his arm, and points to the neighbor who was complaining about it.
30:46
Hysterical.
30:47
This, this guy's mansion takes up almost a block.
30:50
It's a beautiful home.
30:53
That is just perfect.
30:57
Your goals.
30:58
Yes.
30:58
So, the city council had voted, on allowing decor, but only if they got proper permits.
31:05
And so they would have to go through all these hoops.
31:08
There was several people on the, the council that said that they would be like horrified if their block for weeks was just packed with people and they would basically like, you could apply for the permit, but it wasn't going to happen.
31:24
The mayor who was also on the council was mad.
31:26
He was like, this is ridiculous.
31:28
They do so much good.
31:29
This is fundraising.
31:30
These were tots.
31:31
Like yeah.
31:31
How can we like allow this to happen?
31:33
He obviously voted against the ordinance, but yeah for him to get a prop company to make him a 10 foot tall Grinch that sings you're a mean one, Mr.
31:45
Grinch and points to the house.
31:48
That is petty pureness.
31:51
That is, that's pretty amazing.
31:54
You know, I'm being honest.
31:56
Go ahead and call me a Grinch.
31:58
I can see both sides of that.
31:59
Now, if you're moving to a location that does this, like McAdaville locally, like if that's going to bug you for the month out of the year, don't move there.
32:10
you know what you're getting into.
32:11
Yeah.
32:12
I would not want to be trapped in my house like that with all the people like it.
32:17
That would be a huge inconvenience you'd be trapped in your home and not be able to get out when you needed to.
32:20
I mean, you could eventually, but, but if you know what you're getting into when you move there and that we don't know what he did, but yeah.
32:27
But either way, it's perfect.
32:30
Oh no, it's petty perfection.
32:32
Yeah.
32:32
Petty perfection.
32:33
I love a mean, petty story.
32:35
That's pretty good.
32:36
Are you, are you grinchy about anything like Christmassy?
32:40
I mean, I'm not going out caroling or anything like that.
32:43
Me neither.
32:43
Oh, I've got something that just popped in my mind that I can't stand that's Christmassy.
32:48
So they decorated downtown Clover, they bought new decorations this year, and I'm glad that they finally put some more money into it, but they have the street pole things.
32:59
They alternate red and silver.
33:01
They're, that's fine.
33:01
They're red and silver, and the light on top of them.
33:04
The light street lamp is like a cool led.
33:08
And then the addition to the top is like a warm bothers me.
33:12
They also have a Christmas tree, huge 25 feet tall.
33:16
It is not decorated red and silver.
33:19
It is teal and lime green.
33:21
And the lights on it are I think that the warm lights on the tree and on the top, it's that cool led, like nothing matches.
33:29
I'm going to go like rip it all down one day and then I'll get in trouble for redecorating.
33:40
You can call me.
33:40
Yeah.
33:41
Okay.
33:41
Yeah.
33:42
I'm grinchy about that.
33:44
Like I can't even enjoy it because it just is just, Doesn't even look good.
33:49
Yeah.
33:50
Yeah.
33:51
I, I don't mind like inflatables, but I can't stand when it's just a whole entire yard of inflatables.
33:59
Like that is like not for me.
34:01
Me neither.
34:01
And Jackson and I used to do this thing where when we would drive by, we would pretend like we would shoot all the inflatables, like the penguins and all that.
34:10
But I mean, other than that, I mean, If it doesn't affect me, do you?
34:16
I I like your approach.
34:18
Yeah I will try to remember that as I drive through and bah humbug The decorations I saw I don't remember where it was, but the town had decorated and in the daytime it looked like super cute but they had put the lights on at night and I forgot what it was, but it looked like a a man's body part.
34:37
however, it was, like, I don't know if it was like a candy cane or something, I guess, with like, holly something.
34:44
Oh, like a candle or something.
34:45
Yeah, with holly berries.
34:47
But yeah, it was, it was like, um, when it was like, lit up.
34:51
That looked like anatomy.
34:56
Do you think they did that on purpose?
34:57
I don't know, but if they did, that's awesome.
35:00
They are way smarter than me if they figured that out.
35:03
Oh my gosh, that's great.
35:04
I love when like weird stuff like that happens.
35:06
I know.
35:07
It's so funny.
35:08
Yeah, I think it's hilarious too so, um What is your favorite Christmas movie?
35:14
Oh! All time favorite Christmas movie is White Christmas.
35:17
I'm a classic.
35:19
Oh, uh huh.
35:20
Are you sad about that or just surprised?
35:23
I just threw me off.
35:24
Yeah.
35:25
So, um, yeah.
35:26
Love that.
35:27
Love that movie.
35:28
I mean, I like some of the new ones.
35:30
Like I really enjoy Elf.
35:31
Elf is really funny.
35:32
I want to see the new one with the rock, the red one or whatever.
35:36
but yeah, I like, I like White Christmas.
35:39
What about you?
35:39
So I love the Grinch.
35:43
It's probably my all time favorite.
35:44
Okay, but Home Alone is close second.
35:47
I like Home Alone too, yeah.
35:49
I have like, I've got like the, I don't know, IQ of like a seven year old or less.
35:56
I think some of mine that I like that is nostalgic.
35:58
Like my mom really liked it and we would watch it together when I was real little and then, you know, you get to be a teenager and don't do anything with your family and then just the thought of it is just, yeah.
36:07
So I think mine is that I got to re experience it all with Dylan and like, yeah.
36:13
Got Home Alone was like the funniest.
36:15
Yeah ever.
36:15
Yeah, J2.
36:16
Yeah, and it's true.
36:17
So it just like Resparked that for me.
36:20
Yeah, and then the Grinch I've just always loved the Grinch.
36:25
I don't know why I Don't like the Grinch really.
36:28
Mm hmm.
36:29
Isn't that weird?
36:31
And I I mean I like oh, so when they did the Jim Carrey version.
36:35
Yeah, I thought it was a little scary Yeah, like for kids.
36:39
Yeah, I Yeah, he, he played that part so well, it could be a little, as an adult, I thought it was hysterical because there were so many adult things and kids wouldn't catch, like, there was a little bit of nuance in there.
36:48
Yeah.
36:49
yeah, but.
36:50
I do not like the Christmas Story movie.
36:53
I don't either.
36:54
I hate that one.
36:56
No, no, like that.
36:57
I don't know why it freaked me out when I was little.
36:59
The ho ho and like kicking, kicking them down the slide.
37:02
Yes.
37:03
No, and like the whole bunny thing.
37:04
Like, right.
37:05
No, the whole thing was just weird and I didn't like it.
37:07
I think that that was for more the generation before us with the With some of the stuff that was in it, but yeah, I still I couldn't I can't stand it Just if I see it or hear it, I just like throw up a little bit in my mouth.
37:20
Yeah, i'm not a fan but you love elf yeah, the first time I saw elf and he ran and he jumps in the Christmas tree, like, I barely laughed, so, like, I could not breathe.
37:32
That part just got me.
37:35
That was my favorite part.
37:36
That's my favorite part of the movie, I think.
37:37
I, the classics, I'm like, hmm.
37:39
Not so much.
37:40
Yeah.
37:41
Which was on, like, I think I'd probably still walk out of the room.
37:45
I like old movies.
37:46
Again, I'm sure it's a tribute to my mom and I'm old, but, not like, but I like, Oh my gosh, I can't believe I'm going to admit this.
37:54
You're going to take it out.
37:55
No, I'm just kidding.
37:56
Like old, like West side story.
37:58
Really?
37:59
And seven brides for seven brothers.
38:01
Like, Oh yes.
38:02
All musicals.
38:04
I know.
38:05
Don't know why it's just added to my nerdiness factor.
38:08
It's okay.
38:09
I don't know.
38:10
I don't know why, but That's me.
38:13
All good.
38:14
That's me.
38:15
You still love me?
38:15
I do.
38:16
Okay, good.
38:18
Scared bear in my soul there for a minute.
38:20
I have to watch the seven year old movies though with me.
38:22
Okay.
38:24
I like those too.
38:26
Yeah.
38:26
Yeah.
38:27
I'm like, I'm not classy.
38:30
Lies.
38:30
Now, do you like just the original Home Alone or do you like the other ones too?
38:34
I liked, Until like they started changing the character.
38:37
Yeah.
38:37
I liked him up until then.
38:38
Yeah.
38:39
but I mean Dylan and I would sit and watch those for hours.
38:42
Yeah.
38:43
They're great.
38:44
Yeah.
38:44
We would do Legos and watch those movies.
38:48
Yeah.
38:48
So they're good.
38:50
Can't go wrong.
38:51
Belly laugh.
38:52
Yeah.
38:53
I really do have the humor of a child.
38:57
That's okay.
38:59
That's okay.
39:01
I see somebody fall and I just like, I can't, I laugh like, and Dylan's like, those videos where people fall.
39:11
They, I'm gonna, I'm going to hell.
39:16
There's one and I, it's like the dude falls off the steps and the front of his house.
39:21
They're so hilarious.
39:24
Like slip on ice.
39:25
Oh my gosh.
39:26
Yeah.
39:26
And it's like, they, they keep trying.
39:28
They don't just go down.
39:30
Oh my God.
39:30
Yeah.
39:30
Hilarious.
39:31
I agree with you on a person.
39:36
Just thinking about it.
39:41
Just thinking about people getting out of control falling.
39:47
Have you seen the videos where like the road is icy and the cars can't break?
39:51
And they're not going fast, like nobody gets hurt, but they just like keep sliding into each other.
39:56
Those are great too.
39:57
I don't want it to happen to me, obviously, but I'm going to watch that all day long.
40:00
But yeah, I, I'm not, I'm not sophisticated.
40:04
You really?
40:04
I like some bad humor.
40:08
You know what?
40:09
It's okay.
40:10
Give me people getting hurt and dad jokes all day long.
40:13
I'm not hard to entertain.
40:15
Um, I'll remember that.
40:19
Oh my goodness.
40:20
the fight last week or was it last week or the week before, in, in football, I'm not sure which teams it was, but it was like both teams.
40:27
I think the ref called like unsportsmanlike conduct on both.
40:30
On everybody?
40:31
It was like the entire field.
40:33
I think it was, it was NFL.
40:36
Now, oh, so Trevor Lawrence took a big hit.
40:39
I did see that.
40:39
Yeah, actually, that might have been that might have been us and then it just yeah, and then everybody came and yeah, yeah, I think that was it actually might have been it and then I don't know.
40:48
I guess because Dylan and I were talking about that.
40:49
I started getting football in my feed.
40:51
And Dylan said he saw this, I guess it was an old clip, but I had never seen it before, but, a quarterback, it was college football and a quarterback had, thrown a touchdown around and he was celebrating while a ref was walking by and he like wailed accidentally, while he was like celebrating jumping, he wailed the ref in the face and the ref just went down and it reminded me so much of when Jonas took out John Bailey during lacrosse.
41:20
Did, did Jonas get in trouble?
41:21
Did they throw a flag or anything?
41:22
No, but the very next play, John Bailey called a flag on Jonas.
41:26
He was ready.
41:27
He was looking for the next opportunity.
41:30
Oh my gosh.
41:31
That's hilarious.
41:33
That's great.
41:33
Best game ever.
41:37
So what did Jonas do?
41:38
How did he make the, what happened?
41:39
Did he just run into him?
41:41
He was trying to catch the ball and I guess just yeah, I mean, I mean John went like like flying It was great.
41:48
Amazing Those are again seven year old seven year old you yeah.
41:53
Yeah there was a ref last night in the the game.
41:56
I forgot who played But he got hit by a player and they had to take a timeout for the ref And I fell And then he ended up walking off the field like rotating his shoulder and they finished the game without whatever his position was.
42:11
I never thought about that.
42:13
Like them having a backup ref there just in case something happened.
42:17
But, uh, but yeah, they finished it without, it was like a line guy or something.
42:20
I don't know.
42:22
Oh my God.
42:23
I know.
42:23
Yeah.
42:26
Poor refs.
42:27
Not a job I'd want.
42:28
But it is what it is.
42:30
Yeah, absolutely.
42:32
Hopefully they get paid.
42:33
And I, yeah, I do.
42:36
You know, I think next week we're gonna have to switch sides again, because like, this is, it does.
42:40
Okay.
42:41
Yeah, we're gonna have to switch again next week.
42:42
That's okay.
42:42
Sorry.
42:45
I'm not used to looking that way.
42:46
I know.
42:47
I forgot you had a tattoo behind this ear.
42:49
I'm getting to see it again.
42:51
Oh my gosh.
42:57
I only did one.
42:57
Am I the a hole this week?
42:59
Okay.
42:59
But it's a good one.
43:00
Good.
43:00
Okay.
43:01
So you've pre read it and you already have an idea?
43:04
Yes.
43:04
Okay.
43:05
I have my opinion.
43:06
Okay.
43:08
All right.
43:09
Am I the a hole for being the Grinch, literally?
43:11
And this is from Pizza King.
43:12
Pizza King 890.
43:15
Throwaway account since I think, oh, they might be on here.
43:18
The names have been changed to protect the innocent and the guilty.
43:21
Not that.
43:23
I 21.
43:24
That's like the start of like a criminal show.
43:26
It is.
43:26
It is.
43:27
Absolutely.
43:28
I 21 Mel and my roommates held a party earlier this year in our apartment and it was a great time.
43:33
However, the next morning my roommates P.
43:35
O.
43:36
W.
43:36
flag was missing, which was given to him by his late grandfather, who was a prisoner of war in World War II.
43:42
Keep in mind, he keeps it hidden in a drawer, so it's not an easy grab.
43:46
Ironically, nothing else was taken during the party.
43:48
Naturally, we were confused by this, and he was really upset.
43:52
Later on that week, he found some of our friends who were at the party.
43:55
Posing with it on Facebook.
43:57
I was really irritated since it was not only personally disrespectful, but deeply unpatriotic.
44:02
My roommate called the girls out and eventually returned it, albeit unapologetically.
44:08
Fast forward a few months, the girls invite us to a big Christmas party at their place.
44:12
I saw the perfect opportunity.
44:14
I could be the Grinch, and hide in plain sight while getting them back.
44:17
At the Christmas party, I arrived dressed as Santa, with a large black trash bag, and I was At a later point in the night when everyone was pretty drunk, I began snatching.
44:26
I took anything that would be inconvenient.
44:29
Tv, remotes, silverware, A toaster.
44:31
I rated everything in the fridge and freezer.
44:33
No one gave Santa with a big bag of second thought.
44:36
However, like the grand, I had every intention of returning the stuff.
44:39
However, the next day my girlfriend called screaming at me that I took it too far and one of the girls who she was friends with heard it was me.
44:46
I explained it was just a prank and they'll get it back.
44:49
But she says I'm an A-hole.
44:50
Did I go too far?
44:51
No.
44:51
I love the petty Okay.
44:58
I think.
44:59
I love the, I like the petty.
45:00
I agree.
45:01
I like the petty, but like something like the Fraser stuff didn't go bad.
45:04
I don't care.
45:07
Well, they started it.
45:08
They did start it.
45:09
And that was very, we're running back to my seven year old.
45:11
You are, you are.
45:13
Channel your inner Cindy Lou Who.
45:15
it's not hard to do.
45:20
I think that, I mean, I do not like they took the POW flag.
45:24
Like I don't like that at all.
45:26
They started the prank war.
45:28
They did start it if you're gonna start it, you gotta be able to handle what's coming.
45:32
That's very true.
45:33
That's very true.
45:34
I think they were being like nasty.
45:36
I'm not nasty But like they thought that they were being cute and taking pictures with it.
45:39
Yeah, it's a very like serious.
45:41
Yeah item Yeah, not to be right.
45:44
That's that's very flag.
45:46
It's right That had huge meaning especially personally to him.
45:51
I don't think he's a you don't think he's a whole I Think as long as nothing got ruined and they didn't lose hundreds of dollars of food or whatever, then it's okay You I know.
46:02
I know.
46:04
Taking the remotes though, anything that's inconvenient.
46:07
I think that's genius.
46:08
What would you take to be super inconvenient?
46:10
I mean the remotes is genius or batteries out of things.
46:13
Um, to who?
46:14
Anybody?
46:15
Yeah.
46:15
What would you do?
46:16
The microwave, like glass rotating plate.
46:20
You know, in college, you use the microwave all the time.
46:22
All the time.
46:23
All the time.
46:24
That would, yeah, that would really.
46:27
The little wheelies at the end of the plate.
46:29
Yeah, so leave the plate in there, but it won't spin.
46:32
Or you can not take it, but just like hide it.
46:35
No, you gotta take Okay.
46:38
No, you're gonna do prank war, you're gonna do prank war.
46:40
You're gonna do it?
46:41
You're gonna do it good?
46:41
Yeah.
46:42
Yeah, I think taking something like, don't take the TV, take the remote.
46:45
Yeah.
46:45
Like, things like that.
46:46
Like, don't take the Xbox, take the remote.
46:48
I think that's always just.
46:50
Yeah.
46:51
Like, perfect.
46:52
When I worked at State Farm in Tennessee.
46:54
Mm hmm.
46:55
We got a new supervisor, and it takes a while to get like used to A new management person.
47:04
but he finally came around, so we had, he was I don't know.
47:07
He's 30th anniversary with state farm or whatever.
47:10
So we dug through and we found his 1st year picture and the state farm, yearbook or whatever.
47:16
Oh, my gosh.
47:17
Like the 70s.
47:18
And so.
47:19
What did you do with it?
47:20
I photocopied, I made hundreds of photocopies and I plastered them all over his office, you couldn't see out the window and then like even when you flipped up the cabinet, I hung like, I fell, like fell down.
47:39
That's great.
47:40
That is, that's like from your book.
47:42
First of all, can we talk about that?
47:44
Was that really a thing?
47:45
Yeah, that's I mean, it was this book of people that work there.
47:48
Are you in any of them?
47:49
No, they didn't do that when I was there.
47:51
That was way back when.
47:51
Okay.
47:52
Okay.
47:52
Okay.
47:53
That's great.
47:54
It was.
47:55
Did he get mad?
47:56
No, he giggled.
47:57
We laughed.
47:57
Yeah.
47:58
and yeah, so he, He was he handed up being like pretty okay After he came around.
48:04
yeah, we yeah, we got off to a rocky start Yeah, and I I got on with my like previous boss really well um, I had dylan was a baby when he this the new guy came and You know priorities were different Well, new managers are tough to, especially when you've been somewhere for a little bit of time, and you've been through a couple and, you know, what works and what doesn't work and then they come in and they want to do things.
48:26
You've already tried that.
48:27
Don't work.
48:28
That's so frustrating.
48:29
Yeah, when Dylan, Split his head open at daycare.
48:32
Yeah.
48:33
I got the call and he was in a one on one meeting with another employee.
48:38
And I like burst through the door, like Dylan split his head open.
48:41
I've got to go.
48:42
And I just took off and I just ran up.
48:45
Yeah.
48:45
but yeah, so he, he was took him some time.
48:49
Yeah.
48:50
Took some time.
48:51
He was there.
48:51
I don't even think it was like a couple of weeks and that happened and I was like, Oh, this is lovely.
48:56
Yeah.
48:56
I had to take him to the hospital.
48:57
Yeah, you had to do it together.
48:59
Yeah.
49:00
That feels good, his Harry Potter scar.
49:03
So what did he hit it on?
49:05
a bookcase.
49:06
Like he tripped over, like a rug in the, in the room and went right into, twice, two, two weeks in a row.
49:12
It was like a 2 3 week between, he did it the 1 day and like, he just had a huge goose egg.
49:18
I mean, it Cyclops lump.
49:20
Yeah.
49:21
It stood off of his head at least like 2, 3 inches.
49:23
and then a couple of weeks later.
49:25
did it again.
49:26
and it actually split and bled everywhere.
49:31
I had to go get stitches and I made the daycare give me a accident report for both times because I did not want them.
49:37
Right.
49:38
Coming after you.
49:39
Coming after us.
49:40
Yeah.
49:40
But yeah, I mean, I watched the videos.
49:42
They showed me the videos at daycare because I'm like, how did this happen twice?
49:46
And I'm glad they had the video.
49:48
Yeah.
49:49
So, yeah, Jackson has a scar too.
49:52
He was jumping on the bed, typical, right?
49:54
And hit it on the, the corner of a nightstand.
49:56
And I am the good mom and did not take him to the ER, even though he probably needed stitches.
50:02
I just did a butterfly stitch on him.
50:04
It's fine.
50:05
It's fine.
50:06
It's great.
50:07
Well, was it before or after?
50:08
I don't know.
50:08
I guess it was maybe a little bit after that.
50:10
Dylan was chasing Moe and fell into the coffee table and that's when he knocked out his tooth.
50:14
Oh my gosh.
50:15
Well, it was really, really loose.
50:17
And they said that they had to pull it because the damaged root could damage the other teeth.
50:23
And so.
50:25
Oh my goodness.
50:25
So then he didn't have a tooth until he was like seven.
50:29
Oh, these boys.
50:31
They look so He was two when he got pulled.
50:33
He didn't have a tooth for five years.
50:36
And that's when I actually messed up all of his teeth.
50:38
Really?
50:39
Yeah.
50:39
His teeth were all shifted.
50:42
Chasing the dog.
50:44
