  I'm Abby and I'm Anna and this is serious beef welcome.
• 0:04
  We're a week. We're a week late, sorry.
• 0:07
  We fucked that listener. We screwed up in our defense.
• 0:11
  It was the holidays and we were busy.
• 0:14
  It's not. How could I have known that the
• 0:17
  last day of the year was going to fall on a Wednesday, right?
• 0:20
  I did know that, and I had written down.
• 0:25
  Do you know that? Well, I know you know because
• 0:29
  well. Moves on Drew Lane.
• 0:34
  No, we had said, oh, what if we got together and recorded like a
• 0:39
  podcast? That was a bonus, a bonus bonus.
• 0:42
  It would come out on Christmas because that was also on a
• 0:43
  Wednesday. Well.
• 0:44
  Christmas Eve, I think was a Wednesday.
• 0:45
  You're so true, So. Correct.
• 0:47
  You're so true. You're so true.
• 0:48
  You're not a liar. You're so true.
• 0:52
  And we're like. That would be a nice thing to
• 0:53
  do. Fun little Christmas.
• 0:54
  Oh my God, no time. Not only did we not do that, we
• 0:57
  didn't even record the episode we were supposed.
• 1:00
  To fucking record literally, literally screwed up all of.
• 1:02
  It we were together. Most days, many days during that
• 1:05
  that time span. We did not get together and
• 1:09
  record and record them. Yeah, we you know what, we did
• 1:15
  consider just setting up the microphone at one of the one of.
• 1:19
  The one of. The Thanksgiving, one of the
• 1:23
  Christmases, and just like uploading that, what Sam called
• 1:27
  it, white noise. It would be family white noise
• 1:31
  of of of our take your pick whichever one I said especially
• 1:34
  white because it's just especially if it's very white.
• 1:37
  Sorry, it's just chaos is what it is so, but it's but it's fun.
• 1:41
  I intend we have a good time. I intended to.
• 1:43
  Write down like some things that I heard said shouting.
• 1:48
  I usually do write down things like that I.
• 1:50
  Don't think I did this time. Well, for me, I was going to
• 1:52
  write down. For me, I was going to write
• 1:54
  down. Like stuff out of context.
• 1:57
  For example, at the Wilhelm Christmas, I keep wanting to say
• 2:01
  Thanksgiving. At the Wilhelm Christmas, we are
• 2:05
  all sitting around the table and I yell to you, you're in getting
• 2:08
  probably like, you know, piece of pie or whatever dessert.
• 2:12
  And I'm talking to Sam and I turn in and I just shout, Anna,
• 2:16
  when did the Shackleton expedition happen?
• 2:18
  That's true. That's true.
• 2:19
  You did yell at. This is very important.
• 2:22
  Completely out, completely out of the blue.
• 2:24
  Right out of context, a very weird thing.
• 2:26
  Sam and I of course were talking about that, and I was explaining
• 2:29
  how we need to make a Muppet thing, but Sam had no idea what
• 2:32
  the Shackleton expedition even was.
• 2:34
  Shocking. And that's why we need a Muppet
• 2:36
  Movie. Is she even my daughter?
• 2:37
  I don't even know. It's that's why I was like, I
• 2:40
  go. Sam was like, well, sorry, I
• 2:41
  don't. I had no big history.
• 2:43
  I was like, no, no, I was like, don't feel bad.
• 2:45
  The only other person I talk about this is with you, and your
• 2:48
  base of knowledge of this is probably more than what the
• 2:52
  average person is, so I just assume everybody.
• 2:55
  Everyone should know about this, and you know how I know about
• 2:57
  it? It was in.
• 2:59
  One of the I know. Exactly I can picture.
• 3:01
  The book, Yeah. When I used to teach 3rd grade,
• 3:05
  it was in one of like the I think it was the story, but it
• 3:07
  was in one of the reading books. Yes.
• 3:08
  Yeah. We had to read the story about.
• 3:10
  Yeah, but it was after you were in 3rd grade.
• 3:12
  You guys didn't? I don't think.
• 3:13
  No, I, I remember this vividly. Really this.
• 3:16
  And there was like, because there was like a picture.
• 3:19
  I thought I figured it had gotten well, maybe been new for
• 3:21
  me, who knows. But I pick pictures vividly then
• 3:24
  like at the top of this like mountain icy kind of thing.
• 3:28
  And they all have this like rope and and whatnot.
• 3:30
  And it's talking about how they had to trek across all this
• 3:33
  stuff because. You have to.
• 3:34
  And there's not actual pictures of like the ship and the ice
• 3:37
  when we've talked about this. But that's not my beef today.
• 3:39
  No, but here's the thing. So my actual beef today, I don't
• 3:43
  know about you. I personally use Google for a
• 3:45
  lot of stuff where I got my Gmail.
• 3:47
  I, you know, I love a spreadsheet.
• 3:48
  I'm not paying Microsoft. Well, I don't.
• 3:52
  I've never used Google Docs just because.
• 3:54
  Google Docs, Google Sheet. At work we have Microsoft, you
• 3:57
  know, so I have those, yeah. Well, and even like every time
• 3:59
  you upload something to an e-mail that goes into your like
• 4:02
  drive and all that kind of stuff and yeah, yeah, yada, yada.
• 4:05
  So I I use it for a lot and I keep getting the notification
• 4:09
  that I've used 83% of my storage because they only give you 15
• 4:13
  gigs of space. And I use. 12 of them.
• 4:17
  But here's the thing. It's like if if you run out of
• 4:21
  space, it's like you can't use Gmail anymore, you'll like
• 4:26
  because it can't store any more info or whatever.
• 4:29
  And so it's like I either got to go in, clean up, delete a whole
• 4:33
  bunch of shit out, you know, and old emails, which what if I need
• 4:38
  to know about the Michael's coupon sale from, you know,
• 4:41
  2018? What if I need that Google or?
• 4:46
  I you do not clean out the junk and crap out of your.
• 4:50
  I need to no. I do, I do I delete the.
• 4:53
  I do it almost obsessively because I hate.
• 4:55
  Having it in there. It's probably in my like trash.
• 5:00
  Yes. You know what I mean?
• 5:01
  Or junk. Your junk folder's probably.
• 5:03
  That full you know what I need to empty the junk folder and
• 5:06
  you've just given me a a a green blast here.
• 5:11
  I need to delete everything out of here.
• 5:16
  Yeah. I've got 1412 emails in my
• 5:19
  trash. Yeah.
• 5:21
  So delete that, yeah. So we're going to clean that up.
• 5:24
  You'll. Clean that up.
• 5:25
  But I got beef. Because because you know what?
• 5:29
  What do you fucking mean? What do you mean my I just
• 5:32
  can't, no, how dare I got a free ass e-mail.
• 5:36
  You let me get my fucking emails.
• 5:39
  Maybe I can't, you know, upload any more shit, but you fucking
• 5:43
  get my goddamn emails. It's true.
• 5:45
  I've had a Hotmail since I was in like 6th fucking grade.
• 5:49
  Not once has it ever told me I was running.
• 5:51
  It's never told me that I've had that same Hotmail since the dawn
• 5:57
  of time. I think it's not the first
• 5:59
  e-mail I had. We actually had AOL at one
• 6:02
  point. That was probably the first
• 6:03
  e-mail, but Hotmail was the second one that I started when I
• 6:07
  was back when you were a teacher and you had to start emailing
• 6:11
  things out to parents. So it's really a very teachery
• 6:16
  e-mail, but what are you going to do?
• 6:17
  But you're saying if I paid $10 because they got a sale going
• 6:21
  on, if I pay $10, OK, I can have 100 gigabytes of space on
• 6:28
  Google, $10.00 for the year? Fuck you, Google.
• 6:32
  Yeah, Fuck you and your $10. Yeah.
• 6:34
  That's my. Fucking money.
• 6:35
  I don't want to. I don't want to fucking pay $10.
• 6:38
  Take your take your storage and and shove it up your butt,
• 6:41
  right? And I don't.
• 6:43
  And I just got to. Listen, I'm off a little
• 6:45
  aggressive. Listen, Google, I don't.
• 6:46
  I don't mean that. I, Abby, really loves you.
• 6:50
  I use you a. Lot.
• 6:51
  I got the, I got the. Playlist spreadsheet In here
• 6:54
  I've got the serious Beef spreadsheet.
• 6:55
  Please don't cut her off. I've got fantasy football
• 6:58
  spreadsheets in here. I got my Bills spreadsheet.
• 7:02
  What can you get rid of? Well, how old of a how?
• 7:04
  Go back to the old old old stuff that you.
• 7:06
  Create. What if I?
• 7:07
  What's? What's this?
• 7:10
  What if I need these draft rankings from 2019?
• 7:13
  I don't think you're ever going to need that.
• 7:14
  I think it's safe. I think it's safe to delete
• 7:17
  that. How dare you.
• 7:18
  I let's man, that might be therapeutic.
• 7:20
  Go ahead and delete it, right? Now what about this one?
• 7:22
  This one says Untitled Spreadsheet I.
• 7:25
  Can't delete that. I'm saving that for a ready day
• 7:32
  final. You never know when I'm going to
• 7:34
  need to create a spreadsheet. What else you got?
• 7:38
  I got. Let's see.
• 7:41
  I'll be the judge. You tell me.
• 7:42
  I'll tell you. You can delete.
• 7:43
  Everything. I don't know what this this says
• 7:45
  OLC sheet and this one says copy of OLC sheet.
• 7:48
  Oh my God, here's another. Both of those can go.
• 7:53
  Here's another untitled spreadsheet.
• 7:55
  Oh my God. I'm sure that another untitled
• 7:58
  spreadsheet OK, sometimes it just saves them.
• 7:59
  So so when you don't even know what it is.
• 8:02
  The point is, is that those untitled ones are not taking up
• 8:05
  massive amounts of space, right? I got to figure out what is and
• 8:08
  I know what is probably what is it I have I'm a what a friend I
• 8:14
  am. We've got like our guys that we
• 8:18
  play on. DND with on Mondays.
• 8:23
  And I have a folder where I have uploaded like various RPG games,
• 8:32
  OK, which is like the Dungeons and Dragons and such like that.
• 8:35
  Sure. So there's a ton of these
• 8:37
  different games. And really all it is all those
• 8:39
  games are with if you say like, oh, I bought that game and I'm
• 8:42
  doing, I'm doing finger quotes listener.
• 8:45
  Yeah, it's just a book, right? You know what I mean?
• 8:49
  Like the, you know, the DND book, it's just the players
• 8:51
  handbook, the DM's guy, whatever.
• 8:54
  But it's like a digital version. Correct.
• 8:56
  Well, yeah, so so because all RPGs are really just books and
• 9:01
  most of them use the same like base concept of like you have
• 9:05
  dice. Well, we already own dice, you
• 9:06
  know, whatever you as long as you can find like a PDF of the
• 9:11
  game, like then you have that right.
• 9:14
  So like we have Thirsty Sword Lesbians, a classic.
• 9:18
  Now we did buy that one from Gen.
• 9:20
  Con. So I got the free PDF, but I
• 9:21
  uploaded to this folder. Then I shared this folder with
• 9:23
  our friends and they can also upload things and they can and
• 9:26
  you can all share, right? OK, excellent.
• 9:28
  Yeah, so like our friend pal had uploaded the one ring, which is
• 9:33
  1 he had bought, which is a like a Lord of the Rings game, all
• 9:37
  that kind of stuff. So unfortunately I think that
• 9:41
  this is stored on my stuff. It's taking up a lot of space.
• 9:47
  Probably is, but you know, what? Are you gonna do these?
• 9:53
  Are all good questions? What?
• 9:54
  Yeah, all. No idea.
• 9:56
  No, no, probably. I'm gonna delete my trash and
• 9:59
  we're gonna see in my junk and I'm gonna see where we are at
• 10:03
  that point. OK, That's what I'm gonna do.
• 10:04
  All right? That's what I'm gonna do.
• 10:07
  So do your junk, do your trash. Yeah, my beef is with Google,
• 10:10
  honestly, you know? Just give me the 100 gigabytes.
• 10:13
  I think I deserve it. It's true because, you know,
• 10:15
  it's really not that big of a deal.
• 10:17
  Why you got to be greedy? Why you got to be greedy?
• 10:20
  You got to be greedy and milk $10 out of people, right?
• 10:22
  Come on. That seems a little greedy, come
• 10:24
  on. But Outlook is doing the same
• 10:27
  thing to me at my work. Bastards.
• 10:28
  I know what they're like. Your inbox is phone and there is
• 10:32
  no more room. And then they keep sending me an
• 10:34
  e-mail stating that it's full and I'm like if it's full how is
• 10:39
  there possibly room for you to send me this dumb ass e-mail
• 10:43
  that now I have to delete out to make room?
• 10:47
  I'm so angry. You're full and here's the
• 10:50
  people. To prove it.
• 10:51
  The irony of that is that irony I don't even know.
• 10:54
  I'm like, I got probably like 10 emails.
• 10:57
  I got an e-mail twice a day until and I am frantic twice a
• 11:01
  day telling me that my e-mail is full and I am frantically
• 11:06
  deleting, deleting, deleting. And I've been there for 15
• 11:08
  years. There's a lot of stuff in there
• 11:10
  because I'm not deleting Jack shit, right?
• 11:12
  Because it's like anything I've sent.
• 11:15
  Yeah, anything that's been sent to me, especially telling me to
• 11:18
  do anything with anybody's money not getting deleted, OK.
• 11:22
  And so on and so forth. And I'm just like, well, I guess
• 11:26
  I can go back and delete stuff from 2011.
• 11:34
  Have you deleted your trash? Yes, Andrew.
• 11:37
  Spam. Yes, I went back.
• 11:39
  I get no spam. There must be a blocker blocks
• 11:41
  it because I don't get it. I have nothing in it.
• 11:43
  The junk folder. Interesting.
• 11:44
  My junk or spam is always empty. I see there's everything in
• 11:46
  there and I don't get any. Really the only thing I get ever
• 11:50
  is like, I can tell it's like a test.
• 11:52
  Yeah, from my work. I'm like, delete, delete, get
• 11:54
  out of here and report those. Because when you apparently, you
• 11:58
  know in Outlook, when you delete something like in Hotmail or
• 12:04
  Google, I think after X amount of days it deletes like it goes
• 12:07
  away. No, it doesn't.
• 12:09
  I just learned that I got four 1422 fucking emails by tracks.
• 12:13
  I know in Hotmail, which is Outlook Yeah, now, yeah, my hot,
• 12:18
  my Hotmail, my personal, you know, account after X amount of
• 12:21
  days when you throw it in there, it does it does delete it not my
• 12:25
  work Outlook. If I delete it, it just sits
• 12:28
  there. So.
• 12:29
  I think that's the setting. Maybe that may be true because I
• 12:34
  got AI got a gal who you know, she's got to send the e-mail out
• 12:37
  about getting the Powerball tickets.
• 12:39
  That shit can be deleted, you know, like I don't need to save
• 12:42
  that for 15 years. So true.
• 12:43
  And so I'm like. OK, I'm going to go through, go
• 12:47
  through and. Deleted all this, you know the
• 12:49
  deleted stuff that needed to actually go away.
• 12:53
  So because there's another chick that she gave her Christmas and
• 12:55
  Thanksgiving for some reason is selling cheese balls.
• 12:59
  She's the vice president of cheese balls.
• 13:00
  And you remember that I had 20 million emails about cheese
• 13:06
  balls. I went to leave all those.
• 13:09
  I was like good God, quit trying to sell me a cheese ball.
• 13:13
  OK, OK. I'm glad that you you turned
• 13:15
  this around to the vice president of cheese balls
• 13:16
  because I was like, man, the listeners are going to be like,
• 13:18
  this is riveting. This is hearing about female
• 13:21
  storage. So I had to clear up a whole.
• 13:23
  Bunch of e-mail storage because so I could be for that because
• 13:27
  Outlook kept telling me kept emailing me that I didn't have
• 13:29
  any more space. I could be with that.
• 13:31
  I beg to differ, but Google should just give me more space.
• 13:35
  I agree. I think it's the corporate greed
• 13:37
  is ridiculous there right. So do they need large data
• 13:42
  centers and things like that to store all store my all my stuff
• 13:45
  special sheet balls? My untitled?
• 13:50
  Spreadsheets. Maybe like 16 of them.
• 13:53
  Maybe. Yeah, that's not my.
• 13:56
  Problem. It's not.
• 13:58
  It's not maybe. If you can't afford to be in
• 14:00
  business. Maybe you shouldn't have offered
• 14:03
  for. E-mail, then you've done it.
• 14:05
  Now you've. Done it now.
• 14:07
  I got no sympathy. Damn it, Oh my gosh.
• 14:10
  But OK, all right, we I understand your beef and also
• 14:14
  have beef with that. Well, you know what goes with
• 14:16
  good with beef? What a sauce it does.
• 14:19
  There you go. Look at what?
• 14:20
  Look at that transition. What a transition man.
• 14:22
  Abby, you are so smooth. Thank you.
• 14:25
  Smooth like today. Sauce.
• 14:26
  Chardonnay sauce, Chardonnay sauce, Ashley said.
• 14:30
  I'm pretty sure that's a sauce and it is a Google and I googled
• 14:34
  it. Not sponsored by Google.
• 14:38
  Not sponsored by Google, but Google did confirm it well that
• 14:43
  it is a sauce. It didn't.
• 14:45
  I think that actually goes well with we just got made it.
• 14:50
  We made it through the holidays successfully, had a ton of fun
• 14:56
  family in town. I think you had four Christmas
• 14:58
  events to go to just with family.
• 15:01
  I had three. Had a friends miss.
• 15:03
  Between between, you know, both sides of, of the families and
• 15:07
  grandparents and you're right, friends and so many, so many
• 15:12
  gatherings, so much fun. It's exhausting, but it's super
• 15:17
  fun. Yeah, yeah, we had four family
• 15:19
  ones plus a friend's Christmas and then.
• 15:21
  We and then birthday. We had the birthday, the the
• 15:23
  which was what, a day? What a day, because families in
• 15:26
  town. So my nephew and Abby and Ashley
• 15:28
  both have all three have the same birthday, which we've
• 15:31
  talked about this, I'm sure, but what a hoot.
• 15:34
  And we had a we got pedicures. We went and got pedicures in the
• 15:39
  morning, which was fun. My nephew didn't go though.
• 15:42
  No, he did not. Then we could have, but you
• 15:43
  know. Yeah, no, but we went and got
• 15:45
  pedicures and then we went back over, saw the grandparents did
• 15:50
  did we found out that all of us like pumpkin pie.
• 15:53
  So we got a pumpkin pie. We got the world's weirdest
• 15:58
  sketchy pie. What?
• 15:59
  No, the world's sketchiest candles.
• 16:02
  We didn't even put on the pie with the.
• 16:04
  Crust was so hard on that pie though I will say it was.
• 16:06
  Frozen, but they had it was sitting.
• 16:08
  Out. It must have just pulled it out
• 16:09
  of the. Fridge it was something because
• 16:10
  it was ice cold. It was really cool.
• 16:12
  So we pick up a couple pumpkin. Pies from Snooks and the can of
• 16:15
  Ready Whip, which we went cheap and went got the Snooks brand.
• 16:18
  Never again. It was terrible.
• 16:19
  And it should have went with the actual Ready Whip, but we didn't
• 16:22
  have time for Cool Whip to thaw out, so we had to just get that.
• 16:25
  Yeah, I got these candles that are like really tall and I
• 16:28
  thought, well, maybe the wax won't melt all over the the pie.
• 16:31
  They were. It turned out they were sparkler
• 16:34
  candles, but only Cades sparkled.
• 16:37
  Yes. Well, but we didn't even put it
• 16:39
  in the thing. We just they handed us all.
• 16:41
  Here hold these these. That's like, you know, maybe 6
• 16:44
  inches. Would you say?
• 16:46

  No, it was Ashley. Saw a video.

  We talked about Hallmark Christmas movies before and my
• 24:29
  favorite one, I'm not I don't like we've talked about this
• 24:32
  obsessed over them. We talked about this specific
• 24:34
  movie we have. And so she got me the the a
• 24:37
  billboard Christmas on DVD so I can watch it whenever I want.
• 24:41
  So she got me that for Christmas and I loved it.
• 24:44
  And Sam got me. There's a band I love called Day

  6 and they have little animal characters that like that
• 24:53
  represent the the band members. And she got me a set of those.
• 24:56
  So they're adorable and I love them.
• 24:58
  So that was that was a surprise. I didn't expect that.
• 25:00
  That's fine. So I cleaned up.
• 25:02
  I was super happy. I love, I had a great time.
• 25:04
  Yeah. I'm trying to Oh, you got me a
• 25:06

  eldest daughter. Yes, like the the.
• 25:22
  Taylor Swift song, I was like exciting.
• 25:23
  Well, I didn't get, like I said, Ashley's the only one that
• 25:25
  really sent me really good ideas.
• 25:26
  And the rest of you, I kind of had to guess.
• 25:28
  I got a couple ideas. I know.
• 25:29
  And so I saw that hat elder starter and it's the teal with
• 25:33
  the orange letters. And I was like Taylor Swift,
• 25:35
  this is Abby for sure. And she's the eldest starter.
• 25:38
  And then the T-shirt said, in my showgirl era, yeah.
• 25:42
  And it's really cute with black, with like the teal and the
• 25:45
  orange, Yeah, with a big Orange Bowl.
• 25:47
  And I'm like, oh, this is actually, it's not too girly.
• 25:50
  No, but it's like it's just like AT shirt.
• 25:52
  It's just AT. Shirt you know, it's very cute I
• 25:55
  thought it was really cute It was really cute and I got out,
• 25:57
  of course, a Godzilla T-shirt yeah, I love it and there.
• 26:00
  Was What does the Godzilla T-shirt say?
• 26:05
  This is a good day. Yeah.
• 26:07
  Oh yeah, that's right. And I got it's him.
• 26:09
  Because it's a little cute Godzilla like.
• 26:11
  Cute little tubby little tubby squat Godzilla just walking
• 26:15
  along. It's a.
• 26:15
  It's a good. Day and I was like every morning
• 26:18
  I tell Abby to have a good day and every morning, Abby says.
• 26:23
  No, no, no. So I'm like, I'm getting this
• 26:27
  shirt because when she wears it, which now maybe she won't wear
• 26:31
  it to spite me. I don't know.
• 26:32
  She will have. She'll have to have a good day.
• 26:35
  It'll have to happen. Yes, it will say it on the
• 26:38
  shirt. At a spite.
• 26:39
  So I that's why I got that shirt.
• 26:41
  Yeah. Well, I think I said to you, I
• 26:43
  was like, listen, 2026 is going to be our year whether it likes.
• 26:47
  It or not? Legit, legit.
• 26:50
  I'm tired. I'm tired.
• 26:51
  I'm going into too many years. Like, OK, listen, it cannot be
• 26:54
  worse than the past year, right? We had a rough one.
• 26:57
  Yeah, we're moving. You know what I mean?
• 26:59
  Like I'm like, it's going to be fine.
• 27:01
  You tell listeners you run in the new year year by replacing
• 27:03
  your water heater. Well, that's what I mean, but
• 27:06
  that technically happened in December.
• 27:08
  The last year of the day had to Last year of the day, last year
• 27:11
  of the day, last day of the year.
• 27:13
  It felt like. God bless my dyslexia.
• 27:16
  You had to replace your water here.
• 27:18
  I'm like wow, even that last day, even that last day was
• 27:22
  gonna get you you know what and and and what then there was 4
• 27:26
  fucking leaks in the pipes. They hooked up to the propane.
• 27:30
  The guy did a terrible job apparently.
• 27:32
  So we tried to kill you guys. Well.
• 27:36
  The guy comes out. Because you went to take the
• 27:38
  dogs to the doggy daycare Friday morning.
• 27:40
  Yes. So it's like, yeah.
• 27:42
  Or whatever day. Whatever day it was, you come
• 27:44
  back and now you're smelling this gas.
• 27:46
  Well, on the 31st is when we got it installed, so that sucks, but
• 27:50
  we're like whatever. Whatever, at least it came out,
• 27:52
  it's got, it's done. And, and it kind of smelled when
• 27:55
  we find out that our our water heater was not up to code.
• 27:59
  And that's like what? And we're like, OK.
• 28:01
  Not even possible. Because when we find out that
• 28:04
  like, whatever the part was that was wrong, the whole thing could
• 28:08
  have exploded. So we're like, OK, great.
• 28:13
  So we get the new one installed. Everything's fine, except that
• 28:19
  we could smell like we thought we smelled gas on the on the day
• 28:24
  that it was installed the 31st Which.
• 28:25
  I think is normal because you took sometimes when you turn
• 28:27
  your gas off and then turn it back on you would smell it.
• 28:29
  Something you're not going to like.
• 28:30
  You know what? That's not that.
• 28:31
  Weird. You're not going to be alarmed
• 28:32
  by that of. Course, I was like, you know, if
• 28:34
  we still smell it tomorrow, we'll call.
• 28:37
  We put the carbon monoxide the thing like right next to where
• 28:40
  The thing is, so it should go off.
• 28:41
  Update. It wouldn't even set that off
• 28:43
  even if there was a leak. As we found out the the it's
• 28:47
  natural gas so we won't set off the carbon.
• 28:49
  Monoxide. No it will not.
• 28:50
  It has to be carbon monoxide. Yeah, just we found that out.
• 28:52
  OK, gotcha. So me putting that over there as
• 28:55
  a preventative. Measure was a waste of your.
• 28:56
  Time. Nothing at all.
• 28:57
  Yes, and genius. So on the 1st we still kind of
• 29:02
  smelled it, but now it's New Year's Day, so nobody.
• 29:05
  'S nobody's going to come out, yeah.
• 29:07
  So then on the 2nd we took the boys doggy daycare and we call
• 29:12
  and. Well, you came back, now you're
• 29:14
  not because you kind of get nose blind to it, but when you come
• 29:18
  back and then you're going to really smell.
• 29:20
  And we, and we did when we got back in the house, we're like.
• 29:22
  Son of a bitch, OK? So, you know, we call Hamrin has
• 29:25
  to come out and test it and all that kind of stuff.
• 29:27
  There's like 4 leaks and then we had to call them, come back out
• 29:31
  and fix it. So they did.
• 29:33
  So our house is no longer a fire hazard.
• 29:36
  Very exciting, but I'm just like, you got that bullet.
• 29:40
  I know I'm like, you got to be shitting.
• 29:43
  Sends me the picture where Ameren had marked marked put
• 29:47
  like red flags they put. Little red ties around
• 29:49
  everywhere that they test and they find a leak.
• 29:51
  Boom boom, four different links. I'm like, like, dude, what in
• 29:55
  the world? Oh.
• 29:56
  Look at this like you got so. That was that was a little
• 29:58
  frustrating, but. But not thankfully.
• 30:02
  Thankfully we did OK. The house didn't blow up.
• 30:04
  That's what matters. You had gotten the dogs out of
• 30:07
  the house actually for the day, which was was lucky.
• 30:10
  Yeah, They weren't going to be here when the guy had to come
• 30:14
  back and fix it. So somehow it all managed.
• 30:17
  To work out, yeah, we didn't explode in the house and I
• 30:19
  really appreciate that. So like I said, 20262026 is
• 30:24
  going to be our year. Absolutely.
• 30:26
  Absolutely. It's going to turn it around.
• 30:28
  It fucking better. We're going to turn the beat
• 30:29
  around with Gloria Stefan. It's going to be great.
• 30:32
  Well, do you have any New Year's, any New Year's
• 30:34
  resolutions? Maybe I should say some goals
• 30:38
  for 2026? You got anything?
• 30:40
  I, I, you know, there's things I want to do.
• 30:43
  I want to work on my house. You know how you, you know, your
• 30:48
  house needs updates. So I went like I told you that
• 30:52
  I'm like, we need to kind of walk around the house and
• 30:53
  prioritize like, because I want to paint the down the the I just
• 30:59
  have these white walls and they're very boring.
• 31:01
  So I'm like, let's let's put some we've been in that house
• 31:03
  for 23 years. Wow.
• 31:07
  So, you know, I think it's time for some updates.
• 31:10
  So that's that's a goal. I know that wild.
• 31:13
  So that's a goal. I think right there for for you
• 31:15
  dad and I, we want to do some updates to our house.
• 31:17
  And because it's not like it's, you know, torn up or anything,
• 31:22
  it just needs updates. So that's that's that's one big
• 31:25
  one that I want to work on. And you talked about journaling,
• 31:30
  doing the bullet journaling. I got.
• 31:32
  I got a. Bullet.
• 31:32
  Journal And I'm like, I don't know if I would be willing to
• 31:35
  spend that much time, but. You know what I'm?
• 31:37
  I am I'm I'm second guessing it by every day and what you tried
• 31:43
  for this year then you decide to be like.
• 31:45
  But the one thing that Sam and I did a few years back, we had
• 31:49
  this, we had these little slips of, of colorful paper and a
• 31:54
  clear, big clear container. And that was we, we had to write
• 31:58
  1 positive thing on a little piece of paper, the date and
• 32:02
  then the positive thing and then put it in the little container.
• 32:05
  It looked really cute. And then at the end of the year
• 32:07
  we done them all and we read them all.
• 32:09
  OK, Now there were some days where it was tough to write a
• 32:14
  positive thing. Yeah.
• 32:16
  And then there were days we're in multiple things, you know
• 32:18
  what I mean? It's just, but it was kind of
• 32:20
  supposed to help your, you know, your friend of mine and help you
• 32:23
  be thankful and, and, and I, and that was really, really fun.
• 32:27
  And but I, so this year I kind of want to do it, but I, I can,
• 32:30
  I think I'd rather just do it like in a little journal rather
• 32:33
  than have to cut the paper part. And well, I've got this, my
• 32:37
  things got a page. It's like highlight of the day.
• 32:39
  It's for the monthly ones. So there's like one for every
• 32:41
  day the, you know, that month that you can write a little
• 32:43
  thing in there. So.
• 32:45
  Right. So I like that and I'm like, you
• 32:47
  were showing me yours. It's very cute.
• 32:50
  So this, I got the PDF. I paid the Etsy on Etsy, the
• 32:56
  girl who made it or Gotcha. OK, cute.
• 32:59
  So I printed it out. I printed them like 2 up on some
• 33:03
  cardstock and then just fold it in half.
• 33:04
  Gotcha. Because I was like, I don't want
• 33:06
  this. It doesn't need to be that
• 33:07
  giant. Yeah.
• 33:08
  Plus it's a lot of ink. So yeah.
• 33:09
  Absolutely do 2 in a page. Yep.
• 33:11
  So so it ended up being kind of perfect.
• 33:13
  Now I'm realizing this little binder that you've brought me
• 33:16
  that I'm going to, I'm going to manually punch the holes in
• 33:20
  because we because a three hole punch is is too big.
• 33:23
  Yeah. So I'm going to manually punch
• 33:24
  the holes in on this thing. For all of these, for each
• 33:27
  month, for each, you know what I should have brought like?
• 33:31
  That's like I don't. Even know this little binder
• 33:35
  holds like these 4A page of four spots for the for the photo
• 33:41
  cards. OK and and the holes are pre
• 33:43
  punched. I should have brought you one of
• 33:45
  those sleeves so you could line it up and punch punch, punch.
• 33:47
  That's what I need to do. That's OK, but I can bring you
• 33:49
  one if you want and that'll help.
• 33:50
  You. Well, I can also.
• 33:51
  Just it'll help you know where to punch but but so you don't
• 33:54
  screw up your page. What the listener I think maybe
• 33:56
  doesn't know is I've got like you, 100.
• 33:59
  It's probably not 100 but like 80 to 90 sheets of paper and the
• 34:04
  binder. We opened up the it's not a
• 34:06
  three hole punch, you know, Clippy Binder, it's six.
• 34:09
  It's like 6 legit. There's like 3 and three for
• 34:12
  some reason. I don't know why.
• 34:13
  I don't know why. So that's a lot of holes.
• 34:16
  Punch like 600 fucking holes manually.
• 34:20
  It's a lot of holes. A lot of holes.
• 34:24
  I'm sorry. I was like, I got you.
• 34:26
  I actually have this extra binder.
• 34:28
  You could use it. Oh boy, I didn't.
• 34:30
  We opened it up. We were like, why is there?
• 34:32
  Why are there six holes? So you got to be out of your
• 34:36
  mind. You don't.
• 34:39
  We going to. We're going to.
• 34:40
  We're going to burn this bridge when we get there.
• 34:41
  OK, We'll figure it out. All right.
• 34:43
  Well, you do with it what you will.
• 34:46
  So we're going to punch all the fucking.
• 34:49
  Holes. Yeah, it's a, you know, it took
• 34:52
  me a whole day to print everything out and I kind of
• 34:54
  colored it all. You know, it's it's very cute
• 34:56
  because you can color on it and it's adorable and actually has
• 34:58
  these very, very nice markers. Oh, OK, OK.
• 35:02
  It's like a woo Hoo or something like that.
• 35:04
  I'm not even. Legit I was like, I thought you
• 35:06
  were woo hooing because they were so nice.
• 35:08
  No. No.
• 35:09
  Do you see it's like? Oh Hoo Hoo.
• 35:11
  Oh yeah, literally. Oh Hoo Hoo.
• 35:14
  OK. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:16
  Art markers, yes, yeah. So you've probably seen like
• 35:18
  the, what is it not Prisma or whatever the fuck.
• 35:23
  You've seen those, you have the Michaels and they got all them
• 35:25
  really fancy fucking markers and it's like $16,000,000 for one
• 35:28
  fucking marker. Yes, yeah, they're like that.
• 35:31
  But it's like you can get like a set.
• 35:33
  They're cheaper than that and they're better.
• 35:35
  And they came out with these really nice sets.
• 35:37
  So actually got those for Christmas like a few years ago
• 35:40
  or whatever. So she let you color with her
• 35:42
  special markers? She did.
• 35:43
  She was like you. Could use them I.
• 35:45
  Just don't want our nephews to use them.
• 35:48
  Yeah, 100%. Those are 100.
• 35:50
  Percent. Maybe when they're much older,
• 35:52
  Much older. Yeah, well, she used them for
• 35:54
  like you Remember, Remember she did that little the Audrey too.
• 36:00
  Yeah, those are those kind of markers.
• 36:02
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 36:02
  They kind of blend really well and they're.
• 36:04
  Pretty they are actually excellent.
• 36:06
  Yep, so. Well, very cool, yeah.
• 36:08
  So, yeah, sorry about the six holes, but what are you gonna
• 36:11
  do? What are you gonna do?
• 36:12
  What are you gonna do? You know, I've got things like
• 36:19
  just being like more trying to be more accountable, you know,
• 36:22
  make sure I'm taking my medicine every.
• 36:23
  Day OK. And that's a good one.
• 36:25
  That's a good one. And taking actually taking good
• 36:27
  care of yourself. Yeah, mine is like more sleep.
• 36:30
  I need more sleep and I've got to find a way to to get that I'm
• 36:35
  not. Going to, I'm not going to
• 36:37
  because I've been off the last two weeks and I go tomorrow.
• 36:41
  I go back to work for the first time in a while and I'm, I'm not
• 36:46
  prepared. I've been, I've been staying up
• 36:49
  late. Oh, yeah.
• 36:51
  You know, I'm like, I, I don't know.
• 36:53
  I'm an early riser. You are.
• 36:55
  You've always been the I'm also a bit of a night owl.
• 36:57
  And I'm a night. Owl.
• 36:58
  I don't, I know. Well, it's like I've got Dad's
• 37:03
  an early bird and you're an you're the night owl, night owl.
• 37:06
  And I've somehow inherited both. So I stay up till I'll stay up
• 37:10
  till 2:00 AM and then get up at like 7.
• 37:12
  They're still up too early. I'm too tired.
• 37:14
  Oh. That's a both tired that's a
• 37:16
  massive boring. Call me Michael, I'm too tired.
• 37:21
  Boom. Boom.
• 37:23
  Oh my gosh. Well, OK, well, we got to make
• 37:26
  it a priority. We got to take care of ourselves
• 37:28
  in the in this coming, not coming here.
• 37:30
  The year we're in, the year we're already here, we're here.
• 37:32
  God damn it against against our better.
• 37:37
  Judgment. We couldn't stop it from coming.
• 37:40
  We moved to the 20. What is the Grinch?
• 37:43
  He couldn't stop Christmas from coming.
• 37:45
  Speaking of the Grinch, did I tell you about this?
• 37:49
  I Jim Carrey plays in one of the Grinch movies and he put has to
• 37:53
  put on this horrific, you know, Grinch outfit that he it's
• 37:57
  actually very good Grinch outfit.
• 37:59
  He looks, I think, I think he looks like the Grinch.
• 38:02
  Walmart recently did these Grinch commercials where they
• 38:04
  had some dude play the Grinch and but he still had black hair
• 38:07
  and it was awful. It was terrible.
• 38:09
  And I hated the commercials so, so, so much that I'm like, I'm
• 38:12
  not going to Walmart. Fuck you anyway.
• 38:14
  So for that reason, for that reason and only that, the Grinch
• 38:17
  doesn't have black hair anyway. So.
• 38:20
  Duke Carey has to put on this suit.
• 38:22
  This makeup and it's hours and hours and it's just awful.
• 38:26
  And he said it literally made him crazy.
• 38:27
  He put it on one time, went to the producer, the director,
• 38:30
  whoever and said I can't do it. He was going to leave it.
• 38:33
  He was going he's a good to find somebody else.
• 38:35
  And they're like, no, no, no, we really, really, really want you
• 38:38
  for this part. And and if you know, I think
• 38:40
  people have a love hate relationship with Jim Carrey,
• 38:42
  with you the love or you hate him.
• 38:43
  I don't know. I love him.
• 38:44
  We, we've, we've been, we've started watching when years ago
• 38:47
  when he was on the living color, we found him hilarious.
• 38:48
  And so I, I typically like, I don't like everything, every
• 38:51
  movie he's been in, but I like, yeah, most of the stuff he's
• 38:54
  done. Well, he as a person is a little
• 38:55
  eccentric and what not, but you know what a you know.
• 38:58
  But I actually think he's a very good, very good actor.
• 39:00
  And I thought I we like this, the movie, but they went and got
• 39:06
  a gentleman to come and work with him who worked with Navy
• 39:11
  Seals to help them deal with physical torture and mental
• 39:17
  torture. Oh, OK.
• 39:18
  And that's how he got it's insane partly how he got through
• 39:21
  it because whenever he's like, whenever you feel like you're
• 39:24
  losing it, one of the tricks is you pound your fist on your leg
• 39:29
  and that helps you like brings you ground you or something
• 39:32
  brings you back. Don't you don't have a panic
• 39:33
  attack. And so it's like you see me get
• 39:35
  doing like in this one part and he's.
• 39:37
  Pitting his leg with his. Fist and he literally had to
• 39:42
  work with a torture expert to get through this movie.
• 39:45
  Wow. First of all, second thing he
• 39:48
  said I found hilarious actually was while he's in the makeup
• 39:53
  chair, OK and getting hours of putting on this, all of this,
• 39:58
  the masks and prosthetics and you know, all of this stuff,
• 40:01
  contacts and everything. The only thing that got him
• 40:04
  through it was the Bee Gees. The Bee Gees.
• 40:08
  Shit you not, I had to tell my mom that because my mom loves
• 40:11
  the Bee Gees. I.
• 40:12
  Wasn't there for this. I told my mom that's why I was
• 40:14
  like, were you in the room and I told you this?
• 40:15
  I don't think you were there. He'd literally said the only
• 40:19
  thing that got him through was the Bee Gees.
• 40:20
  He doesn't know why. He has no idea why, but he had.
• 40:24
  They had to put on the Bee Gees music.
• 40:27
  So it kept him calm. Every time he got into this cut
• 40:30
  this this makeup so. Funny, isn't it hilarious?
• 40:33
  He's like. I'm not some kind of massive.
• 40:36
  Bee. Gees, but that worked.
• 40:39
  I he's to the say, he says. He has no idea why I.
• 40:42
  I find it so funny that I we were over.
• 40:45
  At mom paws, maybe it was last year Christmas or something like
• 40:48
  that, who knows? We're over there often and you
• 40:50
  know, I think we asked, you know, Mama what her, her
• 40:52
  favorite song because they, they have one year.
• 40:55
  OK, I know how it got started. One year for her birthday.
• 40:57
  I, I, she's, I asked her what she wanted for her birthday
• 41:00
  because she's impossible to shop for because she needs nothing
• 41:03
  and rarely wants anything. And she actually told me what
• 41:07
  she wanted. She wanted.
• 41:09
  She loves the Bee Gees. Let's put it out, Nick.
• 41:11
  OK, she wanted. The ADVD of the Bee Gees
• 41:15
  concert, there's actually multiple that you can purchase
• 41:18
  on Amazon and so I found a couple and I got them for her
• 41:22
  birthday and now Amazon friggin suggests the Bee Gees to.
• 41:26
  Me, all the time, all the time, and I don't appreciate it.
• 41:30
  Amazon. That was for my mother.
• 41:34
  Anyway, so my mom and dad both love the Bee Gees and they both
• 41:38
  love these DVDs. And we were sitting in the
• 41:40
  dining room talking, visiting whatever.
• 41:43
  We play games. My dad is in the we call it this
• 41:47
  is the store I was going to. We call it the front room where
• 41:49
  you come in the door and he puts on the Bee Gees concert and it
• 41:53
  is massively loud because he can't hear.
• 41:55
  So it's blaring. The Bee Gees are blaring.
• 41:57
  It is. Throughout the house.
• 41:58
  It's really like maximum volume. Maximum volume.
• 42:02
  He's sitting in front of the TV, Yeah.
• 42:05
  He's. 5 feet. 5 feet. Even more no.
• 42:08
  Away from the TVI. It's right there.
• 42:10
  He's right there. And we're like, what?
• 42:13
  In the house? Of course we're all singing the
• 42:14
  BG, but my but we asked momma, you're right.
• 42:16
  We what's your favorite Bee Gees song?
• 42:19
  What'd you say? Massachusetts out of the blue.
• 42:21
  Massachusetts, I mean, and, but no hesitation, no.
• 42:24
  Hesitation. Massachusetts.
• 42:24
  She knew it, that was. And but the best part was she
• 42:27
  because. One of I think Liv said, well, I
• 42:29
  thought your favorite was Johnny Mathis and she goes and she
• 42:32
  says. I can't even say that.
• 42:36
  She says I like Johnny Mathis, but I am the Bee Gees.
• 42:40
  I. Am but I.
• 42:44
  Laughed so hard. We're like I am the Bee Gees.
• 42:47
  Of course my poor mother, my poor mother is not, not exempt
• 42:52
  from being ripped on because we're all like, you are the Bee
• 42:55
  Gees. Legit who knew?
• 42:57
  No way to give her so much. She's like, I meant I love the
• 43:00
  Bee Gees and we're like, Nope, you are the Bee Gees now.
• 43:05
  But the amount of times that the Bee Gees have come up in the
• 43:07
  last year for me specifically has just been such a weird
• 43:12
  coincidence. And it's not like, I don't know,
• 43:14
  Like, I mean, the when we asked her what her favorite song was,
• 43:17
  I think was maybe a year ago at Christmas.
• 43:19
  And then this past Thanksgiving or whatever we were over there
• 43:22
  for is when the paw has been answered on.
• 43:25
  So yeah, he's got. We're all, we actually all go in
• 43:28
  there. We all started singing along.
• 43:29
  Because what are you going to do, right?
• 43:30
  I came over because I think it was that it was the same day as
• 43:34
  like the, the Ashley's families. And so I came over a little bit
• 43:38
  later or whatever and I'm sitting in the other room and I
• 43:41
  think you were in there with me and I'm eating my like, Turkey.
• 43:45
  And I'm like, why are we watching the fucking beaches
• 43:48
  right now? Like I'm like, I'm going deaf
• 43:52
  because it's so loud. My dad.
• 43:54
  My dad loves to visit with us more one-on-one or a handful of
• 43:57
  us at a time when we're all there and it's super duper loud.
• 44:02
  It's just almost like a little overwhelmed.
• 44:04
  Yeah. And so then he goes into the
• 44:05
  room and blares the TV. And he's like, shit the fuck
• 44:08
  out. So because when the night that
• 44:11
  was your birthday and you all want you, the cousins all came
• 44:13
  over here and just like my siblings were at the house, he
• 44:17
  came to the room and then we we visited.
• 44:20
  He played past trash with it. Like he was fine then because it
• 44:22
  was much, it was much much. So when the cast ensues, it's
• 44:27
  like almost too much, right? But anyway, I got a couple
• 44:30
  things I got to tell you. OK.
• 44:33
  I don't know if you know this, but I heard this and I was
• 44:36
  shocked. I had never heard this before.
• 44:38
  Do you know what did? You know.
• 44:45
  What that the guards at London Tower?
• 44:49
  Do you know what their nickname is?
• 44:51
  The specifically the guards at London Tower.
• 44:54
  Their nickname? They are called the Beefeaters.
• 44:59
  I kid you not. This is legit.
• 45:03
  I was like, damn, we got to, we got to somehow let them know
• 45:05
  about the pot. Like what bee?
• 45:07
  Feeders know about serious beans.
• 45:09
  This is this is what they are dressed like.
• 45:12
  We'll post a pic. Man, does he look great.
• 45:14
  He's super happy too. Look at these uniforms.
• 45:17
  The bee super over the top. They're not the dudes with the
• 45:19
  tall fluffy hat, the black hats at Buckingham Palace.
• 45:22
  These are the the guides at Bee Feeders at the Tower of London.
• 45:26
  Unbelievable. And they're like, why?
• 45:28
  They're actually called Yeoman Warders.
• 45:31
  Yeoman Yeoman, but they're known as beef eaters.
• 45:34
  And I'm like what? Why would they ever be called?
• 45:37
  That the, the the the story is unconfirmed, unclear.
• 45:41
  It's too old. They can't really say why they
• 45:44
  can they? They're guessing it's because
• 45:46
  they were sometimes paid in beef.
• 45:49
  I see. Did you know that?
• 45:53
  No. I had never, never heard that
• 45:58
  they protect the jewels, the crown jewels actually, but.
• 46:03
  Well, they didn't predict anything because they stole
• 46:05
  those. Notions.
• 46:06
  They were given large beef rations by the Monarch for their
• 46:11
  work. I'm dead.
• 46:13
  I I was crying. No, I'm not listening to you at
• 46:16
  all. What did you say?
• 46:16
  I see you go. They protect the crown jewels I
• 46:18
  go they protect shit because I saw in Oceans 8 they stole them.
• 46:21
  They. Stole them.
• 46:24
  I saw Oceans 8 spoiler for Oceans 8.
• 46:26
  I'm educated. Spoiler for Oceans 8, I'm dead.
• 46:29
  But you can go there and actually get they give tours and
• 46:32
  you can see the you have to go someday.
• 46:35
  Put it on the bucket list. On the bucket.
• 46:37
  List. I'm dead.
• 46:38
  I had no idea. That cracked me up so much I
• 46:40
  thought it was awesome. I've been sitting on that to
• 46:42
  tell you all about the Beefeaters at the London Tower.
• 46:45
  That's excellent. So now you know, now you know,
• 46:47
  if anybody asks you what does the nickname of the guards at
• 46:50
  London Tower, you all know it's the Beefeaters.
• 46:53
  The Beefeaters. Beefeaters.
• 46:55
  OK, that's what is that what our?
• 46:57
  Is that our? Legion should be called legit.
• 47:00
  I don't. I don't know if they want to be
• 47:01
  called that. We'll have to think about that.
• 47:03
  That's a good one. You're the beef listener.
• 47:05
  It's not the beef. Then I then I saw another thing
• 47:08
  that I actually saw this this morning and I found it
• 47:12
  interesting so I had to do a deep dive.
• 47:14
  What does the T stand for in T-shirt?
• 47:18
  Tally Wacker. No, you would be wrong.
• 47:23
  I personally think it's Tyrannosaurus because do you see
• 47:26
  how short those arms are? Well, and it is a, it has a
• 47:29
  hyphen and the only other word that I know that's T apostrophe
• 47:31
  something is Tyrannosaurus. It's UX, so Tyrannosaurus shirt
• 47:36
  makes sense. Right.
• 47:36
  Well, I mean. Checks out.
• 47:38
  Those arms are so short. That goes with that saying, so
• 47:40
  it's basically a long sleeve shirt for AT.
• 47:42
  Rex, it is. It is.
• 47:44
  I thought that was hilarious, but so then I had to look it up.
• 47:48
  What? Does it actually what does it?
• 47:49
  What does it really stand for? Google says it's literally
• 47:54
  because of the shape, but in my mind.
• 47:58
  All shirts are Tees. Well, no.
• 48:01
  What if it was? What if it was sleeveless?
• 48:04
  Then it's more of a. No, it's true.
• 48:06
  Or an eye. An eye?
• 48:08
  Yeah, it's an eye shirt, just a rectangle shirt.
• 48:11
  But most shirts look at put your arms out.
• 48:14
  They're Tees. So I'm like, what?
• 48:18
  But they're like, that's just, it's the shape.
• 48:20
  But then there was another theory that in the military, a
• 48:25
  T-shirt was originally in just a basic undershirt.
• 48:28
  You didn't wear that as outerwear.
• 48:31
  That was an undershirt. And it wasn't worn as outerwear
• 48:34
  until like, Marlon Brando and a couple of actors like that,
• 48:37
  that, you know. Wore it.
• 48:39
  Hey, thanks, Marlon Brando, because I live.
• 48:41
  In T-shirts, yeah, the, the cool dudes from Hollywood who wore it
• 48:45
  as, as just a shirt appreciate that, you know, movies and
• 48:49
  different things. And then it became cool to wear
• 48:51
  it, you know, and so. But then the military, they had
• 48:55
  issued, you know, they were issued white, called under white
• 48:59
  undershirts. And but then they did their
• 49:02
  training just in those white shirts.
• 49:04
  And so they called them like training shirts, training
• 49:07
  shirts. And so the theory is maybe then
• 49:11
  it got shortened to go get in your T-shirt because that meant
• 49:14
  training. Who knows?
• 49:15
  Who knows? Who knows?
• 49:17
  They can't confirm or deny, but. The presence of a human child
• 49:21
  here tonight. That's in monsters, the guys.
• 49:29
  We cannot confirm nor deny the presence of a young child here.
• 49:33
  Deny. We can deny.
• 49:34
  There are no human children here tonight.
• 49:36
  That's very true. You're killing me.
• 49:37
  There's just puppy children. So I thought that was pretty
• 49:39
  interesting. And I definitely still think
• 49:41
  it's Tyrannosaurus because of the short arms.
• 49:44
  I was going to ask you. OK, go for it.
• 49:45
  This is unrelated to what we're talking about, but we're I know
• 49:48
  that we're going to get close on time.
• 49:50
  So I want to tell you we watched what I many people watched on
• 49:57
  New Year's Eve. Oh yeah, Stranger Things.
• 49:59
  The conclusion of Stranger Things we will not give any.
• 50:02
  Spoilers here. We will try not to.
• 50:04
  I'm going to do my damnedest. If you've never watched it, if
• 50:07
  you've never watched Stranger Things, it, There are now five
• 50:11
  seasons. The final final season is now
• 50:14
  out we've watched it from the beginning and have been
• 50:18
  anxiously awaiting this final season because the series this
• 50:21
  ends the series yes, there supposedly are spin offs.
• 50:25
  So if you are, that's what I if you like it a lot.
• 50:27
  We we think there are spin offs coming.
• 50:28
  But anyway, we didn't finally we had wrapped it up.
• 50:32
  Yeah, so. You guys finally watched it?
• 50:34
  We watched on New Year's Eve. I thought it was really good.
• 50:37
  I thought it was really good. Yeah, I, I think I told Ash that
• 50:43
  if you didn't like the ending of Stranger Things, that there
• 50:50
  really wasn't anything that was probably going to make you
• 50:53
  happy. Legit, this is this.
• 50:56
  Now, listen, if you don't, if you now, OK, because this Diet
• 50:59
  Coke has come back to bite me. So I've got to, I've got to
• 51:01
  clarify. If you didn't like the ending of
• 51:04
  Stranger Things, that's fine. My theory is that there is no
• 51:10
  ending that would have satisfied you.
• 51:11
  Because I think that the ending that it had had was about it was
• 51:18
  the closest to a solid, cohesive perfect.
• 51:22
  Satisfying ending. Absolutely satisfying.
• 51:25
  It's the way, in my mind it had to end.
• 51:30
  I wanted it to end personally. Yeah, I was happy with the
• 51:36
  ending. And I think if you if you're
• 51:38
  unhappy with that ending, I think maybe you just didn't want
• 51:41
  it to end even. And that's.
• 51:43
  And because that's hard, right? If you have a show that you
• 51:45
  really, really like, it's really hard for it to end.
• 51:48
  And most people that not most people, but some people who
• 51:52
  true. And I think actually all of us,
• 51:53
  we really, really love a show when it ends that you're left
• 51:57
  with a little bit of heartache because it's like, no, I don't
• 52:00
  want it to end. So.
• 52:03
  And you just have to hope that it ends.
• 52:05
  Yeah, the best way it can. And I think this did.
• 52:08
  I I think it did. It's you know, of course it's
• 52:11
  the ending is the show being a, you know, sci-fi horror adjacent
• 52:18
  kind of fantasy fantasy, yeah, show it is.
• 52:23
  You know, most movies, books, things like that, those things
• 52:29
  don't tend to end perfect. Everyone is happy happily.
• 52:33
  Don't don't you know, I mean, if you're watching, so if you think
• 52:38
  about think about Harry Potter, like the characters that died
• 52:41
  that you're like, no, I didn't want any any one of the Weasley
• 52:44
  twins to die. Like, sorry if you haven't read
• 52:46
  Harry Potter, but you know, sorry, it's been out for a
• 52:48
  million years, right? But.
• 52:49
  But we're like, if you, if you're watching any horror
• 52:52
  movie, if you're watching Alien, it's like, I really, I know if
• 52:55
  I'm watching Alien, everyone's gonna die.
• 52:57
  And I really just need Sigourney Weaver to get through WE.
• 52:59
  Just seen her. And the cat maybe legit and and
• 53:02
  and so it's like at the end of that would you call would even
• 53:06
  though Sigourney Weaver triumphs since she defeats the alien,
• 53:09
  would you call that like a happily ever after of?
• 53:10
  Course not, no. No.
• 53:12
  And so I think that that's kind of where it falls is that it
• 53:15
  could never have a oh, happily ever after.
• 53:17
  Everybody's hunky. Dory if you've ever watched the
• 53:19
  show for one this the the main characters of this show have
• 53:24
  been through so much. Crap so much.
• 53:27
  In their lives that as children, cuz, of course, as children.
• 53:31
  And now they're I think they're now graduating from high school
• 53:34
  being the main characters. Yeah.
• 53:36
  They're now adults, yeah, basically.
• 53:39
  But their parents too. It's like they've just been
• 53:41
  through so much crap in the last how many years?
• 53:45
  It just goes on at least five. I know that it goes goes.
• 53:48
  Oh, well, there's like a junior time jump in that last season.
• 53:50
  Yeah. So it's like a lot, a lot.
• 53:52
  It's a lot. And it's like there's no happy
• 53:55
  ever after. No, no.
• 53:57
  For some of those for every single one of these characters,
• 54:00
  you're gonna carry some of those things with you for the rest of
• 54:02
  your life. And so you have we have.
• 54:03
  My hope was just that, just don't kill them all off.
• 54:07
  Right, right. You try to hope that like these
• 54:10
  characters have gone through so much that they.
• 54:13
  They at least get a chance, maybe at a.
• 54:16
  At a normal. Line or just, you know, anything
• 54:18
  but I loved it. I thought it was great.
• 54:20
  I thought the season was great. I loved it.
• 54:22
  I loved. It very much.
• 54:24
  We've been, we literally finished it and we were like,
• 54:27
  damn, that was a good show. And we're like, you gonna watch
• 54:32
  it again? I wish I had binged or at some
• 54:35
  point started watching season 1 through 4 before this.
• 54:39
  Yes, I wish I would have, but we Liv end up pulling up on YouTube
• 54:45
  a kind of a recap video, which was really helpful because I'm
• 54:49
  like, man, I don't know if I'm going to remember anything.
• 54:51
  It's been a while, you know, since from the last season to
• 54:53
  this season. And then again, there's four
• 54:55
  previous seasons and they, you know, seasons aren't like what
• 54:58
  they used to be when I was a kid, you know, they, they don't
• 55:00
  come out in succession, you know, right away kind of thing.
• 55:03
  There's some gaps. And so I was like, how am I
• 55:05
  going to remember things? So she actually found this
• 55:07
  video. She's like, do you guys want to
• 55:09
  watch this before we start? And Sam goes now let's just
• 55:12
  swing and I go, yes, please. And so.
• 55:14
  We. Put it on and it was very
• 55:15
  helpful because it literally just kind of did a quick
• 55:19
  summation or recap of like the seasons.
• 55:22
  And caught us up and I was like, perfect, I'm ready.
• 55:25
  So yeah. But I did kind of want to watch
• 55:27
  the season. And I was like, Sam, I was like,
• 55:29
  fuck it, I'll wing it. Ashley watched Season 3 and 4
• 55:32
  going in and she's like, that's probably all I need.
• 55:35
  OK, so you've been watching like 1/2?
• 55:37
  I so when we finished five, we literally went round round the
• 55:42
  horn and started season 1. And so I've been, I've been
• 55:46
  rewatching Ashley as well cuz she's been forced to be in the
• 55:50
  room. We've been re watching and we're
• 55:54
  we're about halfway through season.
• 55:55
  Four. OK.
• 55:56
  OK. So you're moving.
• 55:57
  So yeah, we're in, we're chugging and hopefully we can
• 56:01
  maybe finish, yeah, maybe we can finish Season 4 today and then I
• 56:05
  can go back to work and wallow in self pity and then when I
• 56:08
  come home, watch. You can watch the season again.
• 56:12
  You can watch season 5. Again, but with more context now
• 56:14
  because I know what's. Going on, I thought it was
• 56:16
  great. If you've never watched a show,
• 56:18
  I think it's I think it's good. There's some some jump scares
• 56:24
  that they get you. If you don't like, if you're
• 56:26
  like, I cannot handle and I don't.
• 56:28
  I actually don't like horror movies at all.
• 56:31
  I don't like gory stuff. The Demogorgans are do kind of
• 56:35
  kill some people, and there were a few that I literally screamed
• 56:38
  at. We know Demogorgans are going to
• 56:40
  kill people. It's not a spoiler.
• 56:42
  There's monsters. They kill red shirts, you know,
• 56:44
  they kill the, the, the, the military dudes that we don't
• 56:47
  care about. So it's all good, but there were
• 56:50
  a couple that were really gross and we literally at 1.1 was 1
• 56:54
  was so bad that I literally was like, Oh my God.
• 56:56
  It was like like screaming. So there's a little bit.
• 57:01
  There was one point after that dude got killed, I literally
• 57:03
  went to Switerville and hid my eyes behind my sweater.
• 57:06
  And I was like, tell me when they're done killing everybody.
• 57:09
  And then I came back. So it was.
• 57:11
  You know, there's, there's definitely a little bit, but
• 57:13
  it's sometimes it's not through the whole thing.
• 57:16
  It's not too super gross. I've watched worse.
• 57:20
  Cuz I don't normally like the gross stuff it does.
• 57:22
  There are I have every day I or every day we've been watching
• 57:27
  this, I'm like, I need to like turn this off at like 1111 and
• 57:36
  put on something like. And happier, happy, right?
• 57:40
  Funny cuz I'm not gonna be asleep, Yeah.
• 57:42
  And we did that. I mostly failed to that
• 57:47
  entirely. I did that last night.
• 57:50
  We put on the Kunk on Earth or whatever show that we told you
• 57:53
  that that's kind of goofy and didn't help.
• 57:58
  I'm still, I'm still spooked. This this show did not spook me,
• 58:05
  didn't give me nightmares because again, it's very, very
• 58:07
  high fantasy sci-fi. Yeah.
• 58:09
  It's not one of those where like this is super realistic and I
• 58:12
  have to worry about this happening.
• 58:13
  So I'm, I'm chill, I'm cool with it.
• 58:16
  I we, we binged there are 8 episodes in season 5, but
• 58:22
  they're long. Yeah.
• 58:23
  And we binged New Year's Day one through 7.
• 58:29
  We finished we were going to stop after six and we needed to
• 58:34
  know there was a cliffhanger. They left us on a big, big
• 58:38
  cliffhanger. And we all.
• 58:39
  Looked at each other. We went, we all had to work the
• 58:41
  next Sam and Liv and I all had to work the next day and we were
• 58:43
  like screw it, start the next episode.
• 58:45
  The. Next episode's like probably an
• 58:47
  hour. And a half, it's quite long.
• 58:48
  And so it was one in the morning before we finished it.
• 58:51
  And we were, we literally, we hesitated again, looked at each
• 58:55
  other and went, do we finish it? We're like, no, we can't.
• 58:58
  It's two hours. The next episode, the next
• 59:00
  episode, 2 hours long. There's a full 2 hours long.
• 59:02
  We were like up till three. We would have been up three in
• 59:03
  the morning and then had to get up at like 6.
• 59:05
  Didn't go to work. So I was like, no, no, no, no,
• 59:06
  my phone. We've been doing it at 3:00 AM
• 59:08
  because you were like, I'm just staying up this point and you're
• 59:09
  going to call me. Yep.
• 59:10
  Got to talk to me about stranger.
• 59:11
  Things we were like, we can't do it, we can't do it, OK, so we go
• 59:14
  to bed. And I'm like, like, I'm gonna
• 59:16
  sleep because I'm stressed, right?
• 59:19
  It was, it was, it was causing me the stress of who's gonna
• 59:23
  make it? Are they gonna die?
• 59:24
  Are they gonna survive? Are they gonna, the good guy's
• 59:25
  gonna win kind of thing. And so that's that's why I
• 59:28
  didn't sleep, because it was stressing out.
• 59:30
  There's parts in it. That are kind of like
• 59:34
  disturbing. I think it's less of like a jump
• 59:37
  scare and more of like, oh, that's kind of gruesome or
• 59:40
  whatever. And those things like bother me,
• 59:43
  like they still like, I hate that.
• 59:45
  Right. For sure.
• 59:46
  And I'll maybe cut out the what I'm going to say in Season 4.
• 59:49
  Yeah. And that way.
• 59:51
  And we like, I have to agree with you.
• 59:53
  The stuff that's disturbing. Yeah, will bother me much more.
• 59:56
  That will keep me up. Yeah.
• 59:58
  And, and I remember watching. Absolutely agree when we put on
• 1:00:02
  God, was that a year, two years ago when Season 4 came out?
• 1:00:05
  Because it's been a while. It's been a long time.
• 1:00:06
  Been a while. We put that on.
• 1:00:09
  Yeah, we were screaming. Well Ash and I watched it first,
• 1:00:11
  then we watched it with you guys and cuz I was like OK you had.
• 1:00:14
  Given me a little bit of a warning.
• 1:00:16
  Yourself, yeah, but we put that on and nothing could.
• 1:00:19
  Preparedness. We.
• 1:00:20
  Were well, cuz nothing, nothing that gruesome Mcgorry had ever
• 1:00:25
  happened on Cam on camera before, correct?
• 1:00:28
  It's like somebody died. It was mostly off screen or
• 1:00:31
  assumed or whatever you kind of thing.
• 1:00:33
  And it was like, that was bad. It was bad.
• 1:00:35
  That was bad. We all screamed.
• 1:00:37
  We were scared us. It was gross.
• 1:00:39
  We were just. It was more disturbing than
• 1:00:41
  gross even. Yeah, Yeah, we would have to
• 1:00:43
  say. We watched that.
• 1:00:44
  I can cuz I can vividly remember.
• 1:00:46
  It comes out, Ash and I are sitting on the couch watching
• 1:00:48
  this. We watched the first episode and
• 1:00:50
  it's late. Like that episode ends and it
• 1:00:52
  was like maybe 910 o'clock or something like that and we're
• 1:00:54
  like, Nope. Nope.
• 1:00:56
  Nope, Nope. We gotta we gotta put something
• 1:00:59
  else on and we will come back to this in the morning because that
• 1:01:02
  was that was. Rough, I totally get that.
• 1:01:04
  I totally believe that. But I'm the same way with like
• 1:01:07
  even like if you put on like I have a really, really hard time
• 1:01:10
  watching like mafia movies. Yes, we've talked about this
• 1:01:13
  that I hate. Can't I can't do it.
• 1:01:15
  I don't like too disturbing. The things they do in those
• 1:01:18
  movies are just I'm not saying you can't do disturbing things
• 1:01:21
  so upsetting. I'm just saying do them off
• 1:01:23
  camera. They're just the truth.
• 1:01:24
  Well, or I'm I'm sorry. I'm just not going to watch
• 1:01:26
  because they're just not for me. Like, you know, I think I your
• 1:01:29
  dad likes like kind of those shoot them up.
• 1:01:32
  Kind of, yeah, some of them I can tolerate.
• 1:01:35
  I can do a John Wick. It's very unrealistic.
• 1:01:36
  That's just not gonna happen. But the mob movie's like, Oh my
• 1:01:40
  God, no mob movie. That messes with me so much cuz
• 1:01:42
  I'm like, yeah that shit could be real and I don't like it.
• 1:01:45
  It's the, it's the movies that like anytime, it doesn't even
• 1:01:48
  have to be like, you know, movie theatre, whatever.
• 1:01:51
  Obviously it's like if someone's gonna die a terrible death,
• 1:01:55
  right in a horror movie or whatever, and they know and they
• 1:01:58
  can't do anything and they're just like they're screaming.
• 1:02:01
  I hate that. I hate it so much when people
• 1:02:03
  die like they weren't expecting like listen, that's how I wanna
• 1:02:06
  go. If I have to die in one of these
• 1:02:08
  movies, like clean, I know, right?
• 1:02:11
  Don't I hate the build up, the waiting?
• 1:02:14
  No, Yep, just. Or it's a or it's a slow, right?
• 1:02:18
  Back is turned and then and then get me finish it.
• 1:02:23
  Yeah. In one go yeah, you know,
• 1:02:25
  agreed. Shoot me into the vacuum of
• 1:02:27
  space. It's like instantaneous.
• 1:02:28
  It's. True.
• 1:02:29
  It's pretty fast. It's pretty fast, right?
• 1:02:30
  So I'm like I but don't. Or you could just leave.
• 1:02:32
  Me the fuck alone and let me die in my sleep.
• 1:02:34
  You. Know I'm OK with that, right?
• 1:02:35
  I'm like don't. Slowly feed me into a wood
• 1:02:37
  chipper. Oh God, no, no, that'd be
• 1:02:38
  terrible. That would be terrible.
• 1:02:40
  That would be terrible. At least go put me face first so
• 1:02:42
  I die right away. But.
• 1:02:43
  Well, I don't. I think that I would still be I.
• 1:02:47
  It's still terrible and I don't want to go through that it.
• 1:02:49
  Would it's too long? Yeah, it's.
• 1:02:50
  Too long. Still too long.
• 1:02:52
  I agree totally. Agree, my hair and I don't
• 1:02:54
  appreciate that. Oh.
• 1:02:55
  I just don't pull. Your hair and I don't, right?
• 1:02:58
  That's the worst thing that's gonna happen.
• 1:02:59
  That's. The worst thing that's gonna
• 1:03:00
  happen to you, it's gonna be tangled fucking mess.
• 1:03:02
  I know. OK, OK, OK.
• 1:03:05
  I got it on this note of of dying.
• 1:03:10
  I heard this story this morning. That there are an outburst of
• 1:03:15
  toxic mushrooms growing in California.
• 1:03:18
  So you're safe, it's in California, and just don't go
• 1:03:21
  foraging. First of all, an outburst.
• 1:03:24
  Like a what do you call it? I don't like a massive growth of
• 1:03:28
  these things and at a weird time of the year, OK, and these these
• 1:03:32
  toxic fungi are growing and. Some motherfucker took a hike.
• 1:03:36
  And people went on a fucking hike.
• 1:03:39
  That's what I said. Don't go foraging.
• 1:03:41
  We gotta go to the city. You're like, we gotta go to the
• 1:03:43
  city. There ain't no mushrooms.
• 1:03:44
  This one some motherfucker went. On a hike that's always gonna be
• 1:03:48
  your downfall. Don't hike.
• 1:03:49
  Some dumbasses gonna go on a hike.
• 1:03:51
  Don't hike. These dumbasses.
• 1:03:52
  Went on a hike, went foraging, got the mushrooms.
• 1:03:54
  Two people needed liver transplants.
• 1:03:57
  It almost killed them. And it's not like there's a lot
• 1:04:00
  of livers lying around here, so you know.
• 1:04:03
  Don't go eating mushrooms. I'm like.
• 1:04:08
  Two people had to have liver transplants.
• 1:04:10
  Damn, where you They got lucky. They found the liver, you know,
• 1:04:12
  because that ain't going to happen before the average
• 1:04:14
  person. No SO.
• 1:04:16
  That liver is pretty necessary. Pretty necessary.
• 1:04:19
  Can't live without it. Pretty necessary.
• 1:04:20
  This this guy on the news is talking about this story and
• 1:04:22
  you're like this, this massive growth of these toxic fungi in
• 1:04:27
  in California and they're like, there's only like about 1% of
• 1:04:30
  mushrooms that are toxic that will kill you.
• 1:04:32
  Really. Yes, wow.
• 1:04:34
  There's also only about 10% that are edible.
• 1:04:37
  So leave them alone basically, if you don't know what the fuck
• 1:04:39
  you're doing. But they'd start talking about
• 1:04:42
  this one mushroom called the death cap.
• 1:04:47
  She's nodded. I literally am by myself in my
• 1:04:50
  room watching the news and I look at the TV and I go, well
• 1:04:52
  that doesn't sound like a very fun guy.
• 1:04:56
  No one was in the room to. Appreciate my humor, Ashley
• 1:04:59
  laughed. Thank you, Ashley.
• 1:05:00
  I'm looking around, going, damn it.
• 1:05:02
  No one here. No one here.
• 1:05:04
  That was hilarious. I'm cracking myself up.
• 1:05:07
  Don't eat death caps. They will kill you.
• 1:05:09
  I don't know what these mushrooms are.
• 1:05:10
  They're growing. They didn't say.
• 1:05:12
  But don't go to California. Don't go foraging.
• 1:05:15
  Don't go on a freaking hike. Don't go on a freaking hike.
• 1:05:19
  Because you're gonna have to get a new liver, and there's not
• 1:05:21
  very many. I had to look up a statistic
• 1:05:23
  because you just gave me a statistic that I found
• 1:05:25
  interesting. OK, you're talking about the
• 1:05:27
  mushrooms. Whatever.
• 1:05:28
  I read this book. I think look at.
• 1:05:33
  Them look it up. I guess we're gonna use Google
• 1:05:36
  even though we're mad at them. The book is called A Good Girl's
• 1:05:39
  Guide to Murder. OK, I told you about this book.
• 1:05:41
  OK, I can. I can vividly remember sitting
• 1:05:44
  at Mont pause and being like, all right, sit down.
• 1:05:47
  I'm like, I'm gonna explain this to.
• 1:05:48
  You I'm gonna give me a book report.
• 1:05:50
  I did and I gave you everything you did so that because I then
• 1:05:53
  was gonna have to go back because I hadn't finished it so
• 1:05:56
  I didn't So like this is what I think happened.
• 1:05:59
  OK, I was wrong, but OK. But they've actually made a a
• 1:06:03
  show. I think about this I'm I'm to
• 1:06:06
  find out if. This.
• 1:06:07
  Check it out. Yeah.
• 1:06:07
  But in that book they give a statistic that I was like,
• 1:06:11
  really, I looked it up, confirmed they were as correct.
• 1:06:16
  They say that there's of all the missing persons cases, only 1%
• 1:06:23
  go. Unsolved.
• 1:06:25
  Go unsolved. That's actually pretty.
• 1:06:27
  Good that you don't it's you know 99% of missing persons are
• 1:06:33
  located now whether that is doesn't.
• 1:06:35
  Necessarily mean it's happy. Yes.
• 1:06:37
  Yes. You know, alive or dead, but
• 1:06:39
  only roughly 1%. I'll go completely unsolved that
• 1:06:43
  they're like they are gone. We don't know where they are.
• 1:06:46
  We can't find nothing. Wow.
• 1:06:48
  Well. And I was like.
• 1:06:51
  Really, it seems like you know, when you hear about it, it seems
• 1:06:53
  like it would be more but. Solve mysteries.
• 1:06:55
  Yeah, there's a lot of mysteries unsolved right now.
• 1:06:58
  These are These are talking about missing persons and not
• 1:07:01
  necessarily murderers that are. Unsolved.
• 1:07:03
  And that's true. So, but I was like only 1%.
• 1:07:07
  That's pretty. Good.
• 1:07:08
  That seems pretty. That seems pretty darn good.
• 1:07:09
  Good, right? And that's you in the US,
• 1:07:13
  obviously, certainly. But I was like, you know, you're
• 1:07:17
  talking, you know, 10s of thousands reports.
• 1:07:22
  Every year, yeah. And sometimes it's, it's not
• 1:07:24
  necessarily, you know, a murder or whatever.
• 1:07:27
  It's more some, a lot of missing persons are somebody literally
• 1:07:30
  took their kid, yeah, in a custody battle or whatever.
• 1:07:34
  Runaways, Runaways or yeah, there there's other things that
• 1:07:38
  are happening that. Right, so or even just like a
• 1:07:41
  hey, I haven't seen so and so can you go do a Wellness check,
• 1:07:44
  you know, or whatever? Yes, but but still the idea that
• 1:07:48
  like 1% are that's pretty good, are just never solved is yeah,
• 1:07:54
  pretty good. Yeah, How bad?
• 1:07:56
  I know. All right, well, you got
• 1:07:59
  anything else? Cover everything.
• 1:08:01
  I'll tell you one thing with the Christmas gifts we have this
• 1:08:06
  Spiderman that we. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:08:09
  That we take this little Spiderman because he's like got
• 1:08:13
  all of his fingers move and he's very posable and whatnot.
• 1:08:17
  And we've taken him many places and photographed him and yadda
• 1:08:20
  yadda. And to take him more places this
• 1:08:22
  year, I think, yes, yeah, that's definitely New Year's
• 1:08:25
  resolution. New Year's resolution.
• 1:08:26
  We got to get Spidey out. Absolutely.
• 1:08:28
  Because he's been in storage, folks.
• 1:08:29
  Yeah. He was in storage for a while.
• 1:08:32
  And I knew that Sam had found him this past year.
• 1:08:35
  And so I was like, she's going to wrap him up and give him to
• 1:08:38
  me. Because if I know my sister, I
• 1:08:40
  know exactly what she's going to do with this.
• 1:08:42
  She's the same fucking joke every time she gets him.
• 1:08:44
  I try to hide him. I try to do something new with.
• 1:08:45
  Him she does the same. Goddamn joke.
• 1:08:47
  Every year. Not every year, but So I decide
• 1:08:52
  I'm going to beat her to the punch.
• 1:08:53
  OK, I had gotten this spider man.
• 1:08:57
  A different Spider man, if you will.
• 1:08:58
  We have gotten it for you for Christmas one year.
• 1:09:00
  He's like. 2 feet. Tall.
• 1:09:03
  He's like Spider Man. It's Spider Man's dad.
• 1:09:05
  Foot and a half tall and he's giant.
• 1:09:07
  Yes, Yeah. And the original Spider Man's
• 1:09:09
  like your your standard action figure.
• 1:09:12
  Size like a? Yeah.
• 1:09:13
  And then we found a giant one. Yes, one year.
• 1:09:16
  Who's like probably like 3 times.
• 1:09:17
  The same thing, all the joints move, every knuckle moves.
• 1:09:20
  It's incredible. Yes.
• 1:09:21
  Not sure who made these but they're amazing.
• 1:09:23
  Yeah cuz the little ones like OK, each finger moves and the
• 1:09:25
  big one is like every knuckle. Every knuckle and each finger
• 1:09:29
  moves. You can pose him so many
• 1:09:31
  different ways and so we bought him.
• 1:09:33
  From the flea market to give him to you for Christmas.
• 1:09:36
  So I'm like, OK, I'm going to beat my sister to the punch.
• 1:09:39
  So I wrap up her. I hadn't given her a birthday
• 1:09:42
  gift even though it was back in June.
• 1:09:43
  So, you know, six months late, it's still at least you got one.
• 1:09:46
  I put her gift in there and I put Spidey on top of there,
• 1:09:50
  flipping her off and then I cover it in tissue paper and
• 1:09:54
  wrapped it up. So I'm like, she's going to get
• 1:09:56
  this. I'm going to be here to the
• 1:09:57
  punch. So she did sure shit.
• 1:09:59
  She opens up and she was dying. Then I of course got the little
• 1:10:01
  one, but I was like, suck it. So then I I I have some photos
• 1:10:05
  we'll have to post. Them we'll post them because.
• 1:10:07
  I took a bunch of pictures. They are the best, best in my
• 1:10:12
  opinion, action figures, figures ever sold, ever made.
• 1:10:16
  They're fantastic. So yeah, we have fun with that.
• 1:10:19
  You know, my my best friend, her family had this one Barbie that
• 1:10:23
  they used to hide in each others bedrooms all the time.
• 1:10:25
  And then they started wrapping it up and giving it to each
• 1:10:27
  other. So they never know when the
• 1:10:28
  Barbie is going to resurface. So for you guys, it's Spiderman.
• 1:10:30
  It's I find it hilarious, but. It's just so funny to like, I
• 1:10:35
  mean, I, we have pictures of Sam, take him to the movies and
• 1:10:39
  they put him on the seat next to him like he's got a piece of
• 1:10:41
  popcorn or something like that. He does.
• 1:10:43
  You're right, you know, And I, of course, I took him to the Art
• 1:10:46
  Museum and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:10:47
  The one time Spaghetti factory. Spaghetti Factory.
• 1:10:49
  Yeah, we got to find. You're right.
• 1:10:51
  We got to now that he's been found.
• 1:10:53
  Yeah. We got to take him, take him
• 1:10:54
  some places in 2026. That's a good, that's a good
• 1:10:56
  resolution. Yeah.
• 1:10:57
  We're going somewhere in February, so we'll take him
• 1:11:00
  along maybe. We like to give guy gifts.
• 1:11:03
  I don't know why, Because it's funny.
• 1:11:05
  It's funny and so. Because all we are is funny.
• 1:11:08
  We're weird and funny, so Liv Liv's guy gift was a stray cat's
• 1:11:12
  T-shirt because. Her favorite?
• 1:11:15
  Her favorite? Band or boy group and K pop is
• 1:11:18
  stray Kids and your dad, bless the soul, didn't doesn't always
• 1:11:22
  understand what they're saying. I think he's I think he's
• 1:11:24
  starting to get hard of hearing a little bit.
• 1:11:25
  But livid said something about Stray Kids and he's like he
• 1:11:29
  looks at her and goes what what did you say?
• 1:11:34
  And she being, you know, a smart Alec says.
• 1:11:37
  Stray cats and he goes. Stray cats.
• 1:11:41
  You like the stray cats now? And he goes, what the fuck, just
• 1:11:45
  like that. And the poor man, he was so
• 1:11:49
  confused. He was like, I can't even follow
• 1:11:52
  along. Why do you like the stray cats?
• 1:11:54
  Now we're like, Oh my God, she doesn't like the stray cats.
• 1:11:58
  She's messing with you so. But what's so funny is.
• 1:12:01
  The fact that there is a group. Called Stray Cats.
• 1:12:05
  Brian Setzer's amazing. We love stray cats, but that was
• 1:12:07
  a group that was around when Dad and I were young in the 80s.
• 1:12:09
  So she goes stray. Cats.
• 1:12:10
  So I got. Her a stray cats T-shirt.
• 1:12:12
  She didn't appreciate it all. Sam's like that's an awesome
• 1:12:15
  fucking T-shirt I'm taking. I was like, damn it, I was going
• 1:12:17
  to take it. If lived it like so I'm kind of
• 1:12:18
  mad about that. So I told Sam we got a share,
• 1:12:21
  but that was the hoot yours. We wrapped up old Christmas
• 1:12:24
  cards because you said you didn't have all of them in your
• 1:12:26
  office. Wasn't near as funny.
• 1:12:28
  But your snow globe this year was your snow globe this year
• 1:12:30
  was Sully. Yes.
• 1:12:32
  No, from from. Actually, it's both souls.
• 1:12:34
  You're right, she got 2 Sully snow girls.
• 1:12:35
  I got Monsters Inc, Little Sully and I also got one that you
• 1:12:39
  could put a little photo in which you can change.
• 1:12:41
  A photo of the Metro, Metro riders, whatever Metro stations
• 1:12:46
  or what do you call it, Giveaway from the Metro Transit or
• 1:12:48
  something they call it Yeah. And went got a freebie the snow
• 1:12:51
  globe and I was like, I can use that.
• 1:12:52
  But you can put a photo in there.
• 1:12:53
  So you put you put the boys on one side and the.
• 1:12:55
  Cats and the other the girls on the other so that I think Sam's
• 1:12:59
  gag gift was I was in the Five Below and saw this game I don't
• 1:13:03
  know if anybody you've heard this you played this before.
• 1:13:06
  What is the original game called The original game guess who is
• 1:13:11
  called guess who and you have people and you have to do do do
• 1:13:15
  they have blonde hair Do they have green you know guess
• 1:13:17
  questions you have to guess who the person is Well this game was
• 1:13:20
  called who is it who is it instead of guessing it's you
• 1:13:23
  know of course it's a knock off at the Five Below.
• 1:13:25
  Well, I'm dying laughing because and I'm like, I got to buy this
• 1:13:28
  because if you've ever watched SNL back then when Eddie Murphy
• 1:13:31
  was on, he plays Not Mr. Rogers. He does like In My Neighborhood,
• 1:13:36
  yes. And he says, in My neighborhood,
• 1:13:38
  when someone knocks on the door, we say, who is it?
• 1:13:43
  And so so we say that all the time.
• 1:13:46
  Who is it? And so I'm like I'm saying the
• 1:13:48
  Five Below laughing my ass off because it says who is it on
• 1:13:50
  this game? And my sister has no.
• 1:13:51
  Idea why I'm laughing and I'm like I have to buy this and Sam
• 1:13:54
  always wanted to kind of make her own with like like whatever
• 1:13:58
  or K pop characters or whatever and so I was like OK, this is
• 1:14:02
  the cheap one she can make her own, but of course she opens up.
• 1:14:05
  She immediately got it and so who is it so amazing.
• 1:14:08
  That was hilarious. Everybody got usually try to
• 1:14:12
  find something funny for by Ashley's was a Nessie ladle that
• 1:14:16
  I thought was a spoon rest. Turned out it's ladle so good.
• 1:14:20
  Whatever. Good enough, but.
• 1:14:22
  We love. I mean a little bit.
• 1:14:23
  But we had a good time. Christmas is great.
• 1:14:25
  I hope everybody out there had a great Christmas and a happy New
• 1:14:28
  year or else. And Truth actually composed her
• 1:14:32
  Christmas card now you're right. I could do that on the do that
• 1:14:34
  on the website. And hopefully 2026 is an awesome
• 1:14:38
  year for all of us. Yeah, looking forward to it.
• 1:14:40
  It doesn't have any. It doesn't.
• 1:14:42
  Have any other? Choice.
• 1:14:43
  Maybe we'll remember to to to post our episodes on time.
• 1:14:45
  Maybe, who knows? We will, but maybe we won't.
• 1:14:48
  Maybe we won't. No guarantees, unlikely, no
• 1:14:51
  promises from likely we will. All right, well, after this, I
• 1:14:54
  don't know about you guys, but I'm going to need some serious
• 1:14:56
  beef. And some serious beef eaters.
• 1:15:02
  Bye. Bye bye.
