  Speaker 3: where you're going. I can't tell you that. Well, what
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: are you going to be doing? That's not up for discussion.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: And then I knew he was not going to be
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: back for whatever. And like I always said to my
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: husband that the big question was am I going to
• 11:00

• 11:03
  Speaker 3: am I going to get visitors at the door, right,
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: you know?

• 11:28
  Speaker 3: you know, I want to be home for Christmas all that.

  Speaker 3: I always listened to it, and I was like, Gosh,
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: I wish he'd be home. Gosh, I wish he'd be home.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: So then I ended up. You know, this year, I
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: sent him to the lyrics from Trans Siberian coming Home,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: and I sent to him just as like, what would
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: you say a little subtle hint that I really would
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: love to see him now that he's out of the
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: military and he's down in North Carolina where he was
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: based originally. So I sent those lyrics to him, and
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: two day before the party, he came home to be
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: there for the party, just to surprise the shit out
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: him me, and I was so thrilled. I mean, when
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: I hugged him, he probably was like, all right, Dad,
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: you know, let me go. Yeah, But yeah, it was
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: nice because he came home. He spent the nineteenth showing

• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Literally on Christmas Day, if you didn't have a single
• 13:16

• 13:32
  Speaker 3: to see gifts. So you know, they really they went
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: all out.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: And to think that they would go as far as

  Speaker 2: Uncle Michael, Yeah, yeah, I mean that's really something else.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I'm just joking.

  Speaker 2: I mean it really was something else. It was an experience, Yeah,
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: it was.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: It was you know. The whole idea was I wanted
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: people to come in and go wow and feel festive,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: and then I wanted them to eat. And some people
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: don't eat meat. Some people don't eat dairies some people.
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: So you know, you have to be cautious of what
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: you're making and where you're putting it. The placement is important.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: I have somebody who eats no meat at all. So
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I didn't want the charcutari board with the meat over
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: by the desserts, right, So I put the cheese board
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: by the by the desserts, all different cheeses and stuff
• 22:40
  Speaker 3: and crackers, and then I put the meat charcutari board
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: over by the meat.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Yes, you know what you're doing.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: You are.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: You're you're like almost like a wedding planner. You have
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: a vision in your mind, right and you you you
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: you meticulously orchestrate how you want things to look and unfold.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: Well, that's it. When Stephanie and I was setting up
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: on Saturday morning, we were like, all right, we're gonna
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: put we want to start with the salads, then we
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: want to start with the non meats, then we want
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: to go into the meats, and then we want to
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: go into the dairy. And you know, so, and then
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: I wanted different heights for things. Want everything just flat
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: thrown out, you know, So I had to get hype trays.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: And you know, Jed is normally tuned in when you're on,
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: and I hope he is, because Becky's asking exactly what
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: kind of blue cheese it was?
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: Okay, do you you don't know. I don't know, but Becky,
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: I will send you the answer to that when I
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: speak to Jed. It was extremely high quality. Yeah it was.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: And I'll say this, and I'm serious. My breath is
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: still bad. Well, your breath is always bad. Well that's
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: true too, but it's even worse and it has been
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: worse since I've had that blue cheese.
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Well, you're welcome, thank you. And then of course the
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: White Elephant or the Yankee swap was hystaicle. That was
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: good stuff. So there was twenty gifts, all right, and
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: twenty people that had to swap because some people came
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: without a gift so they don't get to play. But
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: there was like twenty or twenty one gifts and twenty
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: one people playing.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: When I walked in and I saw the crowd, yep,
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: I said, uh oh, this crowd's a little maybe little
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: too conservative for what's coming. And it made me nervous
• 24:39

  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, the thing that you know what I'm talking about. Yeah,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: Becky will know right here. Over eighty thousand bags of
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: frozen shrimp recalled because of potential radioactive contamination. The Food
• 37:57
  Speaker 2: and Drug Administration said the items were sold in multiple dates,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: including New York, Massachusetts, in Colorado no Vermont's not listed,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: but no, still, I'm not buying any shrimp for New
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: Year's Eve, Mark thirty two. You can buy you can
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: buy the cooked platter. Yeah, so if you want shrimp,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: you know it's the raw shrimp, right right. Consumers with
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: these products should either throw them away or return return
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: them to the store to get a refund.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: So shrimp is pretty expensive. So if you bought a
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: couple of bags, return it right. It says right here
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: the product may be contaminated with cessium one thirty seven,
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: a human induced radio act rate radio radio stop, radio
• 38:52

  Speaker 3: You just I don't need to know how to pronounce it. Right, Frankly,
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: it's contaminated. There's something wrong with it. Don't eat it,
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: perryot move on.
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: To date, no illness related to the shrimp recall have
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: been reported.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: So so what did they do? Take the Geico count whatever?
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: That stupid thing is and run it on shrimp and
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: get some reading, because nobody's gotten sick from it. I
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: don't know, so how would they know?
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: But the shrimp is imported from Indonesia, sold under the
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: market thirty two and Waterfront bistro brands.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Well that's the problem. It came from Indonesia. That's a problem.

  Speaker 2: Well, we got to talk about that too.
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: My brother is one of these guys that's like put
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: the Christmas tree up. And I know there's there's plenty
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: that it's the opposite of my house, but he's like,
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: put the Christmas tree up as late as possible. Yeah,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: and after the final gift has been unwrapped, Christmas tree
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: comes down.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: So the way, it's just the way. So there's plenty
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: that are like that. Yeah, you know mine is is
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: the day after Christmas, take it all down day after Christmas,
• 46:41
  Speaker 3: the day after Now, some people go to you know later,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: but I, you know, I spend a lot of time decorating,
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: and then we have parties and all that stuff, and
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: then Christmas comes and we don't cook on Christmas. Jed
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: and I we go out to eat. It's just a
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: way of saying, because we do the parties and everything earlier, right,
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: so we're like done, we're tired. We don't want to
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: clean dishes anything on Christmas. So our gift to each other,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: other than whatever else we do, is that we just
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: go out to a restaurant. We eat, and we come
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: home and we complain that we ate too much, and
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: we put on some movies and we just veg out. Yeah.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: And then the next day I get up and I'm like,
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: all right, let's start with the little things, because you
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: know there's a lot in my household. Your house is decked.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: I've never seen anything.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Well our house is well, yeah, you guys, do you
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: know that Hirlin is still decorating?
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Why not? Why not? It's up until Christmas. It's really
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: first No, because you know what if you put it
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: all up on let's say November thirtieth or whatever, twenty
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: eighth or whatever you want to do. If you put
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: it all up, then then there's nothing fresh throughout the
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: holiday season. Okay. But if you decorate a little bit
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: each time, as I did, there was new things going
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: up every day. Yeah, okay, and I started three four
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: weeks early. I know you did. Okay, But if you
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: put up until Christmas Day, you keep adding really cool things,
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: then it's nice and fresh on Christmas and you can
• 48:22
  Speaker 3: enjoy it and then enjoy it for as long as
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: you want. I take mine down, usually the tre will
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: come down either. If I'm successful at moving everything else,
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: then the treo come down after the day after Christmas.
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: It's otherwise it's the following day. I don't think there's
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: anything right or wrong about this. It's a personal choice.
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: It is Charylyn would love to have our Christmas tree
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: up until Mother's Day, right, even though it's brown and
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: has been dead for months. Sticks only in a way
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: massive fire hazard. Yeah she still, I mean you know what,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: And I mean we together for over twenty years. Yeah,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: And I'm like, if that's what makes her happy, right,
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: I'm happy she's happy.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Well, that's the most important thing with any relationship. If
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: they're happy, it makes you what's what's the harm? The harm?
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: The harm is it's taken up a lot of space.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 49:16
  Speaker 2: And in the case of our house, a lot of space.
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: The couches have to be move the whole living room
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: has to be reconfigured. Yes, but the sadness when she
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: has to take the tree down, Yeah, me too, and
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: take the decorations off and put them away.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and putting them away is a big thing. I mean,
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: I've got probably I'm gonna have probably six to eight
• 49:43
  Speaker 3: bins of just Christmas stuff and then two boxes of trees.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a lot of work. But it's a
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: lot of work when you go through all that. When
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: you're done and you're like, oh, my house is clean again,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: but then you're like, I don''s something it's something's missing.
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Don't don't allow the I don't mean to sound cheesy
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: and cliche, man, but it's like, don't allow the removal
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: of the Christmas decorations to be part of the removal
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: of the magic of Christmas. Which does It shouldn't end
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: on the twenty six No, keep it in your heart.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: Spirit of Christmas should be all year long, so that
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: you can be kind all year long. We've talked about this,
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: we have talked about this way. It pisses me off
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: that everybody's like, hello, hello, hello, and the day after
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: Christmas let me alone. Yeah, and I'm like, wow, now
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: we know you're just a faker.
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: Be kind, yeah, and Rewind, and Rewind.
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah. The millennials will not the millenniity, the younger generation
• 50:47
  Speaker 3: will never ever know what that meant. Yeah, be kind, Rewind.
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: But they're supposed to be what is it the epiphany
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: when you when you're supposed to take down on the
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Christmas tree?
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: And I think that's when we take ours down, honestly,
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: because Sherilyn, she gets a little, you know, suspicious.
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well do you know when I was buying Christmas
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: decorations last.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Week superstitious is the word?
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: I mean superstitious. When I was buying Christmas decorations last week,
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: week before, week and a half before Christmas, Valentine's Day
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: stuff was out in the stories, don't oh yeah, don't
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: do this yep, yep, valient they are the stores last
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: week started decorating for Valentine's That goes to blood pressure. Yep,
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: it's going up right now, February fourteenth, two months before
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: they had the decorations out already. I suggested that the
• 51:56
  Speaker 3: stores on December thirty first started putting out Christmas stuff
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: for the following year. Yeah, why not. It's getting later
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: and later and earlier and earlier each time I.
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: Got something here. Long standing traditions and safety consideration, Ah,
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: safety to weigh in here, Okay, some camps swear and
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: I'm reading here by packing it all up on December
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: twenty sixth or by New Year's Day, okay. Traditionally, the
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Christmas tree stays up until the Epiphany on January sixth, right,
• 52:35
  Speaker 2: which is the what now, the twelfth day of Christmas? Right,
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: that's when the three Wise men, yes, came to visit Jesus.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: Yep, So.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: There it is. In medieval times, the decorations stayed out
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: even longer, all the way through Candle miss on February second. Wow,
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: the official end of the Christmas season on the Christian calendar.
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: Wow. Huh.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: By that measure, you're well justified in keeping your Christmas
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: tree up all through January's.
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: Month, right, So yeah, I know Tracy leaves hers up
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: until I think the sixth also, yeah, I think she
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: does the epiphany too, because I told her, oh, day
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: after I take it all down.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: And she's like, really, if you have a real Christmas tree,
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: if you want to keep it up this long, right,
• 53:39
  Speaker 2: you need to keep you need to think about safety. Well, yeah,
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: you need to make sure that the thing is watered, right,
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: because so many of us, you know, after Christmas.
• 53:51
  Speaker 3: Well that's it. And a lot of times after Christmas
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: you forget about or you forget because what happens is
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: all the way up till Christmas, you're like, keep the
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: it's very fresh. But now that Christmas is over, there like,
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: oh shit, I forgot to water the tree.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: I've always heard the five week mark is when it
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: starts to become a fire hazard, regardless of how much
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: you're watering it consists.
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, huh, I don't know. Well, I
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: mean it's a tree. I mean, how long can I
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: live without soil and root? Sure? You know what I mean.
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: It's like anything else. But here's the thing, Charylyn will
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: shed it tere. Yeah, when she takes the Christmas tree. Yeah,
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: it's it's like it's a it's a really sad moment. Well, yeah,
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: she dreads it.
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So tell her to go out shopping and when
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: she comes back, it'll all be gone. Yeah, I don't
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: know any because you don't know where to put everything.
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: Well, she's very particular. Well she should be where things go.
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: She should be and you should mark every container exactly
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: what's in it. She's so so that you pull out
• 55:06
  Speaker 3: what you need when you need it, instead of taking
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: all six binds just to say, oh, I found the
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: ornament hanger. UKs.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: And every year when she takes things out, she's got
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: it done. So I mean literally, my fingers don't touch
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: a single thing right because she's like, you see, that's
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: exactly where I wanted it to be at the top,
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: because that comes that goes up first, right, and this
• 55:27
  Speaker 2: goes out second, and this goes out third.
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: And then she likes to put things away that way, right,
• 55:33
  Speaker 2: Nothing wrong with that. There's a small town in South
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Carolina that is all over the news. It was it
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: was yesterday anyway, where the town city council is refusing
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: to remove a Nativity scene from a market parking lot
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: after the mayor ordered that it be taken down because
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: it's on public property.
• 56:10
  Speaker 3: That's ridiculous.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: Kimberly Bird, who's heading up the Mullens Beautification Committee in Mullins,
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: South Carolina, said that her small team decided to decorate
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: the city's new Marketplace area for its first Christmas season
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: like a Hallmark movie, right, hoping to draw more customers
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: to the downtown area. So they spent a couple of
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: weeks and they decorated. They got a snowman, they got wreaths,
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: they got lights, they got Santa Claus, lots of decorations.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: They paid for everything out of their own pockets, including
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: a small three by four foot Nativity scene. Well, the
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: mayor Miko Pickett.
• 57:00
  Speaker 3: We don't name drop, remember, so you don't want to
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: see Meko Pickett again. No, we don't talk about Miko
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: Pickets by the name.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: But that's the name of the mayor.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: I understand, But we don't use the mayor's name just
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: so that we you know, we correct. So let's just
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: say the mayor, not Miko Pickett. All right, Okay, the
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: mayor the mayor, right, Miko Pickett. Kind of a name
• 57:35
  Speaker 3: is that any.
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Frigan asked her to remove the nativity scene,
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: citing concerns about residents and other faiths and beliefs in
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: the community. That's ridiculous. Here goes the blood pressure against Yeah,
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: that's you know, I'll show you the Nativity scene here
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: here it is right there.
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that, nothing wrong with that.
• 58:03
  Speaker 2: It's it's actually beautiful, it is, Kimberly Bird said. The
• 58:09
  Speaker 2: mayor's request stunned her. And they're pushing back, and yeah,
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: I think it's so wonderful that they're pushing back, Yeah,
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: and saying, no way, Jose, we're not taking it down,
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: you know, right, So some of the city council members
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: are supporting Kimberly Bird and saying, yeah, let's keep the
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: display in place, right and take a stand here, Yeah,
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: as they as they should.
• 58:43
  Speaker 3: Oh.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: Here, here's a picture of it at night. I mean,
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: it's a beautiful.
• 58:46
  Speaker 3: Look at that.
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, isn't that amazing?
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's nothing wrong with it, absolutely nothing.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: In a statement posted the Facebook on November twenty sixth,
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: Pickett said that she asked only that the Nativity scene
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: be removed from the public parking area, arguing that a
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: religious symbol on public property violated the separation of church
• 59:10
  Speaker 2: and state. Do I have that statement on Facebook?
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: Oh, damn it. I don't.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: That's too bad. I'll see if I can find it
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: and post it up. Let's see. Bird said that if
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: the mayor or city council ultimately removes the Nativity scene,
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: she would take down the other Christmas decorations as well,
• 59:32
  Speaker 2: because she feels strongly about keeping Jesus Christ at the
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: center of the holiday. Isn't that the Nativity scene?
• 59:41
  Speaker 3: Yes, so if she's so into oh this is not
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: the mayor, Yes, the mayor said that, yes, yes, okay,
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: So you know, I mean, there's plenty of us, plenty
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: right of us.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 2: That don't celebrate Christmas, right. We think it's a bunch
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: of over commercialized hoopla right for lack of a better term.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 2: And there's plenty of us that Christmas.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: Is not.
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: About Santa Claus, right, It's only about the birth of Jesus, right, right,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 2: and giving to others as the wise men gave to Jesus, right,
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: Mary and Joseph.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: Right, and that's it.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nothing about the red guy in the suit and
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: the sleigh in the chimney.
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 3: Correct. Correct.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: But there's there's still plenty of us that we don't
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: we don't take the are we talking about religion on
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: air down you are said that I would never.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 3: Do you are. I'm I'm totally staying neutral on this
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 3: topic because I was like, oh, he's on a soapbox.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: I'm just gonna sit quiet. I'm saying, there's plenty that
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: whatever that that this time of year, it's all about Honakha, right,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: Jewish right. Yeah, we got the menora going. Yep, we
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: got and they have lots of respect yep for Christians
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: who are celebrating Christmas.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 3: As I I do not get offended when I drive
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 3: by a house that has a menora in the window. Here, okay,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: never will. I prefer that businesses stay neutral. So if
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: you're gonna put up Christmas decorations, also put up decorations
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: for other other people that celebrate other holidays in their form. Yeah.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: You know, so a lot of times I'll go into
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: a business and I'll see a tree up. But then
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: I go to the other side and I see him anora,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: and I'm like, all right now, we're recognizing, you know.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: And they use the little dradl as decorations and stuff.
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: That's all fine. It doesn't matter to me, it doesn't.
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: It doesn't. Well, everybody politicizes everything, and everybody has to
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: have an opinion. Instead of just saying it's a holiday,
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 3: so let's enjoy it. We got to break it down
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 3: into negativity. We got to make common sense of a
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: situation that there is no common sense too, because we
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: don't know if Jesus was or is the son of God.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: We know that he was a prophet, but we don't
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: know for sure, just as in the Jewish religion, we
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: don't know specific things for sure. But we celebrate it
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: because we hope in the hope that possibly, if this
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: is correct, that we have a place to go afterwards.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: You know, that's all that stuff. So if I celebrate it,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 3: and you celebrate Haneka, whatever, embrace it and don't be
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: a mayor who says, bah humbug.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's more than bah humbug. It's dropping the
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 2: hammer and saying this is how it's going to be.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's borderline dictatorship.
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: And well she probably learned that from Trump just saying.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, it doesn't matter to me what you believe in,
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: what higher power you believe in, right, it doesn't matter
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: to me. If you don't believe in anything, correct, it
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: just doesn't matter to me right, if you're happy and
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: that's what you believe in, and you want to celebrate
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: that symbolically downtown, whether it's a wreath, whether it's a
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: Christmas tree, whether it's a drad what a minora, Nativity scene,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 2: whatever it is.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 3: All you're saying is just all you're saying, especially in
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: the businesses that we recognize and we celebrate your lifestyle.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Sure, that's it, okay, And it's more the lifestyle. It's
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 2: your culture. It's your culture and your your beliefs.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately, there are people out there, especially the younger generation,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 3: that have to dissect and rewrite history to conform to
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 3: their odd thinking. I don't want to use any other
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: word other than odd, because what what harm is it
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 3: doing versus education? Sure, okay, you have a little child
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: and you're walking down the street and you're a Jewish family,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: and the child says, mommy, daddy, what is that tree?
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: Why is that tree lit up? Right? You're now educating
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: that child as to other religions that are available out there,
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: other cultures, Because I've always told my kids, when you
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: get to a certain age, you can decide for yourself
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: what you believe in, what you don't believe, and if
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: you have questions, you can always ask me. It's a
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: good way. That's great, that's great, dad, right there. You know. So,
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, my kids have decided what they decide based
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: on their growing up in their education. But I taught
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 3: them the Jewish religion. I taught them the Catholic religion.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 3: You know. I showed them that there was people like
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 3: Gandhi and Buddha and all those things that were out there.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 3: They need to know that for history's sake and education's sake. Yeah,
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 3: you know. Now, all my kids, from what I know,
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 3: celebrate Christmas. So I know Mas does, yeah, because he
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: has a tree at home, and he came for the
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: party and stuff like that, and he loves giving gifts.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: But he knows what it means.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 2: From my understanding. And if anyone looks into this and
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 2: finds out otherwise, this nativity scene in this marketplace parking
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: lot in Mullens, South Carolina is still there.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 3: Good.
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: Uh And it's two days before Christmas. Yeah, jet here,
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: it's a really interesting point. I've got to read this.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: He says public property is the correct place for a
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: nativity scene. Separation of church and state only applies to government,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: right property.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: Right. Absolutely, he's one hundred percent right.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 2: There's some disturbing stuff that's also going on. When isn't there.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: I know, I don't listen, and I'll say to you
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 2: right now, this really may rattle a few people, but
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you anyways, because it's because it's in
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: the news, and the name is because you can. The
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 2: name of the podcast is haired out, so because you can.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna yeah, this is gonna bother a couple of people,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: but I'm gonna say there's a Texas church right now
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: by the way down at Mullins, South Carolina that's Bible Belt.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Even more surprising, there's a church in Texas that is
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: depicting the Holy Family in a cage wrapped in barbed wire. Wow,
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 2: in a Nativity display. There's a church in Illinois that
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 2: has a Nativity scene showing Baby Jesus zip tide by
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: ice agents.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 3: Wow. That's making mistake it that's taking politics and religion together. Yeah. Uh,
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: you know, mhm.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: In my opinion, in my belief, Jesus Christ is at
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: the center of Christmas, and there's no Christmas without Christ,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: right period.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: I agree, and I'm not I'm not trying to sound
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: like some holy roller. Right, I'm just saying that. And
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: you're not trying to push your beliefs on anybody. You're
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 3: sharing about you, right, And if anybody wants to dissect
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: that and say, ah, you're shutting up told anybody what
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 3: your belief is because you're a public figure and this
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 3: and that. No, you can share your beliefs. You can
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 3: tell people, but you don't preach it. Yeah. I think
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 3: that's what annoys me the most. And I understand in
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: church you preach it because that's what you do in church.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: But the people that are out on the streets that
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 3: are pushing their religion and getting angry at you, if
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: you're not acknowledging that. It's like people, why are you
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: pushing your why do you have to which? I get it.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: You want to save people, I get it.
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: We should all acknowledge everyone else.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: Right. Education is important, but don't push it with respect. Yes,
• 1:09:27
  Speaker 3: do it respectfully.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: Education.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Man. You know, I grew up in a Catholic family
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: church every Sunday, the whole thing, Okay, But on Young
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: Kapoor we would go to my neighbor's house who's Jewish,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: and we would celebrate with the dinner amazing, okay, And
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 3: we'd eat their foods and they would come over for
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 3: our Christmas dinner. I love that, okay, because it was
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 3: I got to learn about the Sata dinners, and I
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: got to learn about the Hebrews and all that my
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: neighbor agree and it educated me beyond the Catholic faith. Sure, okay,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: I just happened to believe that Jesus Christ is is
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: the Lord's Son. So I don't switch over to the Judaism,
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: even though there's a lot of things in that I
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 3: believe in, But I don't switch to that because they
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: don't They acknowledge it that Jesus was a prophet, but
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: they don't acknowledge that he was the son of God.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 3: So therefore I can't accept that part of that religion.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: But it's educating yourself to the different religious with no
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: bias that allows you to then choose what you comfortably
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: feel in your heart works. You know, That's it's as
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 3: simple as that. I literally hear you, and I'm saying
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 3: for those people that say I'm atheist, because you're not
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: giving yourself an opportunity to believe or hope for something.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: We so many of us uh, have closed our minds
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 2: and we've just said that's that's the way it is, right,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: and that's right, which is too bad.
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they look at the church and they say, well,
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 3: all these priest molesting boys. I can't this and that,
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah. Yeah, you don't blame the sins of
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: the father on the sins of the children. Okay, So
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 3: that's the same thing with the church. They have sins
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: within the church. Well, guess what the church does have
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 3: human beings running it. Okay, it's the it's the human
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: nature of some people to do inappropriate things, whether you're
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 3: whether you're part of the Catholic faith or the Jewish
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: faith or anywhere else. Okay. I don't in any way
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 3: condone any of the actions. I'm just saying, you can't
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 3: look at the mass few right and judge the entire mass. Yeah.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: All you can say is this mass needs to address
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 3: this to fix it. Yeah. Sure, but that's that's Yeah,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: So that's gone with the legend people.
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: Another rabbit hole.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 3: Yep, that's a rabbit hole I'm climbing out of right now.
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: I want to I want to just take a minute

• 1:16:16
  Speaker 3: Che no. And that's the other thing is a lot
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 3: of people like I can't afford this, I can't afford that.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: Make something, make something, Okay, sometimes that's nice. They say, well,
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: I'm not talented. You know people well, you know people
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: that you could throw them a few bucks to make
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: you something.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: You know, here's the thing. When you say make something,
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: a lot of people automatically kind of default to crafts
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: that you have to be.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 3: Make cupcakes, yeah, Make some banana bread, yeah, make it.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: Make a nice banana bread and bring it to somebody's home,
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: wrapped up nicely, throw a gift card on it.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 2: Chuck made me some delicious cupcakes. Now, after I had
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 2: one cupcake, I almost die.
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 2: I still don't know why. But at my heart I
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 2: had palpitations.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 3: But you still don't know why make Maybe there's too
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: much vanilla in it? Do not?
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: I think that might have been because there's alcohol in
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 2: the vanilla.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 3: That's what it is.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 2: Is that why purple elephants were jumping over the mask.
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 3: That's why he probably put a teaspoone and a half
• 1:17:29
  Speaker 3: of vanilla instead of a teaspoone.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 2: Do not receive any Christmas cookies or cupcakes or muffins
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: or breads or anything from Chuck.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: Because clearly he doesn't know how to use the vanilla.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: No, you know, Becky, look at this idea from Becky
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 2: a thunder Road gift certificate.
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah. So, I mean there's so many creative ways that
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: you can absolutely absolutely get.
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: Out there, shop local. Uh, get something that's that's handmade
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: here in.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: Front, right. I mean when when the craft Fair came
• 1:18:03

• 1:18:31
  Speaker 3: labor and a lot of love and a lot of
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: craftsmanship into what they do, all the way down to
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 3: the soaps and the candles which I had in the
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 3: bathroom during the holiday party, A nice square bar of
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 3: soap sure with a beautiful smell in it that I
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 3: got at the craft fair that supported somebody else, right,
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 3: you know, And I bought three bars, so right now
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 3: one's out, but I have two backups, you know. And
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 3: this is all part of supporting local businesses. And supporting
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 3: local cree because there are also a lot of crafty

• 1:19:28
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna make some jerky over the next couple of days,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 2: venison jerky. Gonna make some of that I have, so
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 2: you don't hunt. You just wait for somebody to hunt
• 1:19:38
  Speaker 2: and bring your vanis in. But here's the thing that's
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 2: the smart way to do it.

  Speaker 2: I will get a chunk of venison and I'll give
• 1:19:48

• 1:21:56
  Speaker 2: with that at all, right, I don't, right.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 3: I like regifting because I'd rather somebody else get something
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 3: that doesn't work for me. But it's lovely then too.
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 3: I don't regift because I didn't go out and buy
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 3: a gift, so I'm gonna use one of mine that
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 3: to me is tacky. Yeah, okay, even though nobody would know,
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 3: it's still tacky. But I do regift, Like if somebody
• 1:22:22
  Speaker 3: gives me a beautiful lenox picture, Yeah right, I don't
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 3: use lenox, okay, So I would then take that and

  Speaker 3: we gifted to somebody I know does have lenox and
• 1:22:33
  Speaker 3: use and enjoys it.
• 1:22:34

• 1:22:49
  Speaker 2: money and leftovers to servants and the poor who worked
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 2: on Christmas Day. It's similar to black friend over in
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 2: the UK. Why they have huge post Christmas sales well,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 2: that's that's fair.
• 1:23:10

  Speaker 3: of fresh ground Honduras coffee. Oh yeah, so I can't
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 3: wait because he says, when you drink it, you don't

  Speaker 3: need any cream, you don't need any sugar. It's just
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 3: so delightful. Oh wow, Yeah, Jed gonna have some of
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 3: that probably, Okay, I would hope. Wow. Yeah. So I'm
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 3: gonna take some a couple of days off here. Yeah, and.
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: I might be you know, I might throw on the
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 2: camera at the house here and there. Right, for the
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 2: most part, I'm gonna be unplugged, right, and I'm looking
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: forward to it.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 3: Well, I was gonna say, it's nice to unplug for
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 3: a little while. Too. I mean, people enjoy what you do,
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 3: and that's great, but at nine o'clock in the morning
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 3: on Christmas Day, they're probably getting ready for something anyway. Sure,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 3: and honestly, you should be with your family and you
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 3: should be watching those movies and playing that music. I
• 1:24:49
  Speaker 3: believe at the beginning of my party, for a while
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: there was The Grinch playing. The movie was playing on mute,
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: but the music from my Alexa was playing all Christmas
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 3: music and not the new What's.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 2: Up with Dave doing the dropkick Murphy's I don't know
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: threw everything off? Oh my god, weld. Yeah, we were
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: listening to such great music and then he.
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 3: Dave stands up and says, oh, what's up and starts
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 3: telling her to play that, and I was like, what, Yeah,
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: how do we handle things like that? We did it politely.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 3: We don't allow drama at our parties. We allow a
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 3: lot of laughter and stuff like that. But that's what
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 3: the holiday season is. You know, some of those people
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen in a while, okay, but they had
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 3: dear friends. Yeah, So it was nice to be able
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 3: to get together and do that. Our previous tradition was
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 3: on Christmas Day at nighttime, people would come over and
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 3: we would do desserts, different desserts, okay, and no exchanging
• 1:25:56
  Speaker 3: of gifts or anything. Just they'd come over, like about
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 3: six seven o'clock you would do desert. Yeah. Now that
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 3: we're up here where I live, now, we've decided we're
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 3: going to do it every year as a Christmas dinner
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 3: kind of a thing. Party. Next year it's going to
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 3: be the Crampis and Grinch God, so people can choose
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 3: their their weapon wisely, because there was some crampus in
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 3: my house. Yeah, that black upside down tree, not only
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 3: is it black, but it's also upside down. And I
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 3: was I'm just that that that's I'm not used to
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 3: seeing a Christmas tree. And yet when you finally did
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 3: see it up personally, you were like, that's not bad
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 3: at all. True. Yeah, I did say that.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but I'm just not saying I'm not used to
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: seeing a black Christmas tree, especially one that's upside down.
• 1:26:46
  Speaker 3: Right. Well, you know, but the year again, probably a
• 1:26:49
  Speaker 3: week or two weeks before Christmas, will do another party.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: But to see how many of your listeners want to
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 3: be invited, then again, you're a little upside down. I
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 3: am in many ways but I don't care. I know
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 3: you don't. That's why people love you. Yes, you know
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 3: I tell people all the time, if you don't like
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 3: me or you don't like what I say, just can't
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 3: cancel me. I'm okay with that. Yeah, And I was
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 3: talking to my son about that because I didn't understand
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 3: this whole cancel thing until I spoke to him. This
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 3: was months ago, and he explained, Masmo okay, And he
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 3: explained to me what cancel is and how it feels
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: because it happened to him and I didn't know anything
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 3: about that. So now that I understand canceling, cancel me.
• 1:27:37
  Speaker 2: What do I have to do to get Moss to
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 2: come on aired out live by phone.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 3: And do that? You just have to call him?
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 2: All right, We're gonna do that. Well that's gonna happen
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six. Yeah, because he said.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 3: Call me anytime. We'll talk about anything. And he's very insightful.
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: Unbelievable.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: He is very insightful, and he's very you know, Masmo
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 3: used to be first of all, he was a very
• 1:28:01
  Speaker 3: sweet kid. And then when he went into the military,
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 3: when he came out, you know, he he was rough
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 3: around the edges. Yeah, you know, because he's seen things
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 3: that we don't want to see and he knows things
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 3: that we don't want to know.
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, well special forces serious man.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But then he met this wonderful girl and she's
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 3: really helped him to smooth it out when she came. Yeah,
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: when he came this time, he was very calm, cool, collected.
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 3: He was profound yep, you know, and he had some
• 1:28:33
  Speaker 3: very good insight on things and more understanding of things
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 3: that didn't work for him but still accept it because
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 3: it works for others. So it was it's nice to
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 3: know that that can happen, you know.
• 1:28:47
  Speaker 2: Do you know what Moss said to me? He said,
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 2: did you get a did you get an inappropriate white
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 2: elephant gift? Here for the secret Santa? I said, oh yeah,
• 1:29:00
  Speaker 2: and he goes, you know what, when I see it,
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 2: I'm going to know it's yours. And I said, no,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 2: you're not, and he said, oh, yes, I am. And
• 1:29:13
  Speaker 2: I said how are you going to know? And he said,
• 1:29:15
  Speaker 2: trust me, I'm just going to give you a look
• 1:29:18
  Speaker 2: when I know that it came from you. And sure enough,
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: son of a bitch. Yep, somebody opened up that penis
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 2: gun squirt gun that was in the shape of a
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 2: penis with a penis lollipop. And I looked over at
• 1:29:37
  Speaker 2: Moss and he went just like this. He looked right
• 1:29:43
  Speaker 2: at me, and I was like, yep, oh god, god, yeah,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 2: just got a text message here. Ask your listeners how
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 2: many times Clark Griswold, says Eddie when he shows up
