Alright. I know what I'm doing. Good deal. How to count. I know you do.

Yes. I don't like that liquid sugar Yes. Stuff. It is national maple syrup day, so have some pancakes or a waffle or something this morning. Love pancakes?
Sometimes. I there are sometimes I like pancakes. I like the ones that I make that are real crispy around the edges. Those are good. Yeah.
I I don't care for, like, oh, let's make a pancake, and it's just a big big giant plate sized flapjack. Oh, let's make a pancake. You know, like, I don't know what the hell for breakfast. Said that to you? Oh, let's make a pancake.
Yes. I don't I'm sure it's been said. Today is baked cookies day, and, it's snowflake appreciation day, so look outside. Hey. What else going on?
Oh, the oatmeal muffin day. Oatmeal muffin? Yeah. I've never had an oatmeal muffin. It's cover anything you want in chocolate day.
Okay. There's all kinds of things going on. So, anyway, that's what's up. Okay. Did I get ahead of myself?
Tomorrow is bake a cookie day and snowflake appreciation day. Sorry. That's my fault. Oh. And oatmeal muffin day is coming up.
Oh. I got I was looking way ahead. I got really excited about oatmeal muffin day, and now you've blown it. Oatmeal muffin day is Thursday, so plan ahead. I've never had an oatmeal muffin.
Did I already say that? I don't know what you said. I had I bought these, like, healthy muffins. They're loaded with, like, flaxseed. Oh, I saw that.
I haven't eaten them yet. I bought them Couple days ago? Last week. I better eat them before they go bad. It's a good idea.
That's a very good idea. I just look at them and go, not today. I don't feel like being healthy today. Okay. When I bought them, I was like, yeah.
I'll be healthy. How's it going? Great. Alright. Well, good.
Hey. Good morning. It's Josh and Chantel. How do you eat a candy cane? Let's see.
I would unwrap it just a little bit. I don't fully unwrap it because it gets too sticky in your hand. And then I start with, so if if you've got the hook end and then the just the straight end Uh-huh. I start at the bottom straight end. You start at the straight end?
Yeah. That's where most people start. And then people start at the curve then. I don't know why anyone would start at the curve then. Just I it's kinda like a lollipop, I guess, at that point, but that thing's just gonna be awkward in your mouth.
But here's the deal. You start at the long end, and you just make it a sharp pointy thing so you can stab stuff with it. Wow. Crazy. Tell me that's not what happens.
I've never done that. Look me in my eyes. I am. No. You're not.
No. You're not. When you said never, you looked away. Never. Then there are crazy people who break it apart and eat it piece by piece.
No kidding. Yeah. Who eats a candy cane like that? I mean, some of them break and you just have to. Right.
But if it's already broken but for you to break it and eat it piece by piece Well, I mean Listen. I'm not here to shame your candy cane eating Sure. Experience. Do however you wanna do. Sometimes, I like to just swirl it in hot cocoa.
Oh. Yeah. A little swirly action. Then make a peppermint hot cocoa. You're so different and unique.
No. I'm not. You're making it sound like I do weird things with candy canes. I just do normal candy cane stuff. Sometimes you crush them up and melt them, and put them on top of a cookie.
I actually don't even really like candy canes. Is that right? I read something the other day that said Here goes my Christmas gift. Candy canes. Wow.
You really reached out for what I wanted. Well, look. They're having a deal, and I'm a sucker for a deal. I was reading a thing the other day that said candy canes are now just more decoration Yeah. Than anything.
Even when I was a kid, we would we would, get the little ones within the plastic, and then we would peel the plastic off and hang them on the tree. Do you know they have a Twinkie flavored candy cane? Hostess. Candy cane flavored Twinkie or a Twinkie flavored candy cane? A Twinkie flavored candy cane.
No. I did not know that. Yeah. They do. Oh, yeah?
I was just trying to figure out if I was eating a candy cane tastes like Twinkie or a Twinkie that tastes like candy cane. Well, a Twinkie that tasted like candy cane would just be a peppermint Twinkie, wouldn't it? Doesn't that sound neat? No. Kinda does.
They also have, ew, listen to this, a possum flavored candy cane. What do you what do you even think that tastes like? Garbage? Not good? You can get this off there.
Like I'm just gonna pass. Ew. Yeah. And then they have mac and cheese, and they have bacon. Knew they did mac and cheese ones.
We've had those before. Those are not good. I did not like the macaroni and cheese ones. Did I eat those? I don't think I That's that was a few years ago.
Not good. I don't think that would be good at all. But do you wanna try pickle flavored ones. There's all kinds. I think that's the possum flavored ones.
No. Sounds not possum. No. Come on. Yes.
A little bit of a little bit of a giggle. Not possum. Come on. No. Hey.
Hey. Sorry. Going on? Well, my computer I was gonna tell you about something, and then my computer just, like, shut down. Okay.
So stall for a minute while I try and find it on my phone. Okay. It's a weird word. It's just a lot of letters. Yeah.
What is that? Oh, I don't know how to pronounce it. So it's Jola bakaflod. Jola bakaflod. Jola Bakaflod.
It's Icelandic. Okay. And it's a Christmas tradition where people exchange books as gifts and spend the evening reading them. Really? Isn't that sound lovely?
That does sound nice. What a tradition I can get behind. Yeah. That's very cool. Christmas Eve, Icelanders give books to gifts as their gifts to their loved ones, sometimes wrapping them or just placing them under the Christmas tree.
Uh-huh. And then they just spend the night drinking hot cocoa by the fire and reading their new books. That's really cool. I'm it's called, so I just looked up pronunciation because the letters are not read in, Icelandic the same way they're read in English. So it's Yola Baccafrat.
Yola Yola Baccafrat. Good job, Josh. Yes. Sounds sounds Icelandic. Look at you.
Yola Baccafrat. Flot. Yola bakafrot. That's a good one. Celebrate Yola bakafrot.
So this tradition began in 1944 due to post World War 2, and paper goods were the most available items at the time, and books were the most common gift. And so this was something that started then. That's cool. Love it. I love it.
Yola Baka flot. That's a cool idea because you just have a nice little fireplace. You just have friends. You just have books. You have a book?
You maybe have a warm drink. And a warm blankie? You just A fireplace. Yeah. And you cozy on down in it.
And everybody it's it'd be, like, quiet, but you could still have some conversation. You could have, snacks. Snacks. Yeah. Snacks and a book.
Mhmm. What's better than that? Yola Bkaflat. We should celebrate Yola Bkaflat. Let's do it.
That sounds like a really nice, sometime around the Yule time celebration. We're get the fireplace. Sometime around the Yule time? Yeah. Like, it doesn't have to be, like, on Christmas day.
It could be after Christmas. It could be a couple of days before. Could be today. Let's do it today. Skip work.
Let's do it today. Is it something you can move around, or is it supposed to be on a specific day? I think you can do it whenever you want. I know that they did it on Christmas Eve, but I think you could probably That's I see. Yeah.
So you would buy new books in the months before Christmas and exchange them on Christmas Eve, and then you read the books together in front of a fire, sharing stories and treats like hot cocoa chocolates. Come on. Come on. That's what I'm saying. Other things you can do is give each family member a new bookmark, exchange, different mugs, and exchange ornaments as well.
That sounds so good. I like the whole thing. I know. I think it's so good. Alright.
Well Well New new tradition. We'll call some Iceland in here. Let's go. How do you pronounce it? Yola Bkaflott.
I like it. It's pretty good. This is quite the harrowing tale What? And good news to get you going. Retired fire captain Danny Moreno.
He's from Central Point, Oregon. Just so happened to be exactly where he needed to be when he needed to be there. Listen to this. I am. He's at the movie watching Moana 2 with his family, and he hears a desperate cry from help, desperate cry for help, in the theater.
Someone in the theater was asking if anyone knew CPR, and just a few rows away, a 6 year old named, Mosey Hannah had collapsed. Oh. She has a heart condition that can cause sudden and dangerous changes in her heart rate. And, and so this retired fire captain, Danny Moreno, of course, leaped into action and quickly performed CPR until emergency responders arrived. Mosey was taken to the hospital and discharged later that evening.
She's okay. Mosey's mother, Allison, obviously expressed her gratitude. She said Marino is a literal angel who was in exactly the right place at the right time. Yeah. Of course he was.
Unbelievable. Uh-huh. Can imagine. You're just enjoying a movie just and something cares. You know, crazy like that happens.
Like, holy smokes. Yeah. That's awesome that he was in the right place at the right time. No kidding. And willing to help.
Well, right. That's a big deal. Right? But holy smokes. So she's good, which is great.
Really good news. No word on whether everybody got to finish Moana too because I'm sure that caused a big disturbance in the whole movie. Hopefully, the theater That's what what I'm saying. I think the theater probably was like, okay. Come back.
You know what? We're gonna swap theaters for the next showing. We're just gonna start over from the top if you wanna stay. Yeah. Yeah.
Here we go. Come grab a candy. I don't know. Like, something. But, wow, what a thing.
Pretty crazy story. That's a good story. Yeah. I'm glad everybody's okay. That's that's the good news to get you going.
If you get a present that you don't necessarily like Mhmm. How do you react? I'm a bad liar. Oh, avocado. Thanks.
Oh, thanks. That's not An avocado. I do what that kid does, and I go, oh, it's avocado. Thanks. I don't know.
I try really hard to pretend that I like it, and I absolutely appreciate the effort and the money spent and the thought. But I go, ah, pow. Is that what you do? No. No.
I don't do that. I'm trying to think of what I've ever seen you do with the gift I've given you. I would like that. No. You know me, sir.
You know what I like. No. It's always awkward to even get a gift that you do like, though. No. That's what I was thinking more so.
I it's weird being in the spotlight on your birthday. It's weird being in the spotlight on Christmas. It's just it's a strange thing where everybody's like, open this one. It's from me. We're gonna watch your reaction.
Love giving gifts. And that's and that's the like, I don't want you to have this expectation of a reaction, and then I go, and I open it up, and it's like a can of sardines. And I go, wow. A whole can just for me. That's so nice of you.
Gift of sardines. No one's doing that. My point is that's a gift that's a gift I wouldn't like. Well, that's a bad example. Don't give me a can of sardines.
Nobody should give a gift to me. I will say, I know just the guy to set this, can in front of. I'm gonna regift this later. I I know a guy look. I'm not a big sardine fan.
I know I said I like fishing, but and I can see how that's confusing. It is it is weird when you give somebody a gift and then you just wait for their response. Like, how are you gonna like this? Let me watch. Let me watch your reaction.
Yeah. I know. But we do it. We do do it. I try really hard to pretend that I like the present, and I absolutely do.
I don't wanna seem like I'm ungrateful. I appreciate the time and the money. Not necessarily something I'm gonna use. So then I go, what do I do? I don't know what to do.
This is something I'm gonna use. I don't know. I'm gonna actually just take this back. I don't know. I'm sorry.
Are there I saw a list. Let me see if I can find this again. What? There's a list of things you can say. Oh, I do I have that list.
Do you have that list? Yeah. This list was like, thank you for thinking of me. Just say I love it. You shouldn't have.
Say I really appreciate it. Yeah. You shouldn't have. No. You shouldn't have.
No. No. Really. What a thoughtful present. If someone said that, I'd be like, what a terrible reaction.
Terrible reactions. These are clearly Mhmm. Reactions from people who don't know what to say. Well, it's the thought that counts. No.
That's awful. That's another, like, rude thing. Right? It's so unique. I like the last one.
Where'd you get this? So I can take it back. Yeah. Yep. Oh, man.
Wow. Where'd you get this? Something like that. Alright. Let's see.
We got a door filled We do. Christmas cards. We received 3 more, yesterday. So we've got, quite a few, which is good. Now, you and I have been kind of real Slacking?
Yeah. Well, I I don't know about slacking. We haven't been slacking. We've just been busy, and then things pop up and some one of us has to go to the emergency room when we're scheduled to do Yeah. Christmas card.
Uh-huh. And I'm not naming names, but I've been causing some delay. You've really been putting a damper on my life. I'm sorry. I stopped you from running errands.
I ruined the weekend. It's been it's been a wild thing. But we've we've got, some sort of plan We do. Kinda. I just listen.
I'm gonna get it out today. I'm gonna get a Christmas card out today. To have them out in the mail And they today. Hope that they'll make it in time for Christmas. We've got how many days?
8? Yeah. The the hard part is that all of our mail from East Idaho has to go to Boise and then go back to East Idaho. So, it used to, years ago, just it went to the distribution center in Pocatello, and then it was there, like, the next day. Yeah.
But because all the mail has to go to Boise, it takes a little bit longer. So, anyway Don't fret. This has been Christmas card exchange, and you will get yours. That's right. And thank you to everybody who sent cards in.
You've written some very lovely things, and, we're excited to get a card back to you. It's on the way. Some of you, like, John and Valerie, they sent theirs in, like, early. I know. And they're probably like, what's going on?
John and Valerie are working on all. John and Valerie, we're we're we're delayed. It's my fault. I'll take responsibility. We are getting you a return card.
So, thank you to everybody who sent them in. There's still time to send them in. Maybe you're in the same boat, and you're like, oh, yeah. I've been waiting to do that. I had good intentions.
It's not Christmas yet, for 1. For 2, you can send it after and make it a New Year's card. That's just fine. We're about in that boat, and and that's okay. You can still send us a card if you wanted to or intended to, or you have an extra one laying around that you just were like, I don't rather than throw it away, I might as well send it to somebody.
We'd love that. We'd love it. Yeah. 400 West Sunnyside in Idaho Falls. 83401 is the address.
You can just look up the address for Classy 97 and send it, to the studios here to Josh and Chantel. And, Merry Christmas to everybody who sent them in. We are working on getting our return cards. Yeah. Merry Christmas to those who you said Merry Christmas to those who've sent one in.
Merry Christmas to everyone. To all. Of course. Of course. Of course.
But especially the ones on our nice list. Oh, gosh. I'm kidding. Not everybody sends Christmas cards. I get it.
And stamps are expensive. I totally get it. Yeah. One of the stranger things I've seen on the Internet in a while There's some strange things on the Internet. There's a bunch of people who took this 7 hour flight.
Did you see this story? Uh-uh. Uh-uh. So there's a 7 hour flight, and that can be uncomfortable. When we flew to New York, that was, like, 5 hours.
And you're on an airplane. That was our coming home flight. And you're like, dude. And you just you're tired, and you're just sleepy, and it's uncomfortable, and it's crowded, and there's people, and it's There are flights that take out, like, 12 hours. I've never been on a flight that long, but So this Mister O'Rourke is a 7 hour flight.
This woman decided to stand for the entire duration of her flight. Why? Now passengers aren't sure, and people are commenting online about why she might have done that. Some people said that maybe she has a health condition like a bad back or fibromyalgia or something. Some people said maybe she just prefers to stand.
Okay? She only sat down for takeoff and landing and whenever the seat belt sign was turned on. Yeah. You have to But the rest of the time, she stood in the aisle next to her seat. She watched her movie on the screen, and she just stood for the whole flight for 7 hours.
I don't know. You do you, but how is that I don't know how that's if she's blocking the I'm sure she moved out of the way when she needed to. Okay. Like, when the cart comes down? Yeah.
I'm sure she wasn't like, no. I'm not moving my ginger ale from coming. That's right. My Biscoff cookies better arrive fresh. Get out of the way Yeah.
Of the snack cart. Kind of an interesting thing. Got it. So, yeah, there's there's this video, and and they just said, lady stood on my flight the entire 7 hour duration watching her movie. You know, I mean, they turned off the lights so everybody could relax and whatever.
Uh-huh. She's just standing there, arms crossed, standing in the aisle, watching the movie, the whole flight. 7 hours of standing. Right. And maybe that's you know, again, I I would another reason.
Would probably assume that she's got She's got some help. She's just some sort of help that says I can't sit that long. 7 hours of sitting is a long time too. There are times when I'm like, I sure would like to stand Yeah. For 15 minutes.
No kidding. I'm not gonna stand for 7 hours, but sitting for 7 hours is not great either. No. I sit in this chair for 4. I'm like, I gotta go move around.
This is ridiculous. This body's gotta move. Yeah. Alright. There is a a sort of this long standing unspoken tradition in this office where people will, make, like, an office gift.
Okay. And, and I've worked in a lot of different places. And sometimes it's been a thing, sometimes it's not. But but it's nothing big. If somebody will bring in, like, a little treat or whatever for everybody in the office, and we have, one lady in the office who was very generous, and she made, little rice bags for They're not little.
No. I know. They're big rice bags. Like, she made, really nice, like, throw them in the microwave, warm them up, keep yourself cozy, comfy, relieve an ache of pain. Mhmm.
Really nice rice bag. It came a week too then. I needed one. I ended up using a rice filled stuffed animal that our daughter has, which worked, but also was not the most comfortable thing to lay your head on. Because I wanted to I wanted it on my head, and I'm, like, trying to find a way to move little stuffed legs as I'm trying to, like, come on.
Get to the rice part. Anyway, so very, very nice Yes. Gift. And, one of the guys in the building, his name is, Peaches. That's not that's his right hand.
Peaches. Comes in and he tells me he goes, dude, He goes, so I got that rice bag? And I said, yeah. Yeah. Isn't that cool?
And he's like, I was trying to figure out how to open it to get it the rice because I thought it was, like, just to hold my rice. No. So he was like he's like, is this jasmine, basmati? What do we got going here? Just white?
Is it brown? Like, what kind of rye? Like, he was trying to figure he goes, where where do I open it? And she's like, no. No.
You don't. What? I've sewed it up, so you don't open it. He thought it was a fancy bag of rice, not this guy look. Love you, peaches.
That's one of those things in life I guess you just didn't have to encounter. You didn't need a rice bag or know that that existed until now. And I'm happy that now you're like, oh, dude. That sounds kinda nice. Like, I can microwave this thing up a minute, and I'm gonna have a nice little warm, cozy comfort.
That's that's that's where it's at. I love that. I thought it was hysterical, though. Funny. Because he was trying to figure out how to open it up to get it that rice.
Like, I need rice. This is great. I love rice. I'm gonna make some rice. Chicken and some sauce, and I'm gonna make some rice, which is very funny.
That is awesome. Very, very funny. But, anyway, way to go, peaches. I This rice bag holds my rice. Yep.
Kids these days. It's a it's a 2fer. Yeah. Look. I can just empty my rice into this bag.
It stores it. It looks cool. And if I've gotten aches and pains, I just microwave it, and I'm good to go. And then I still have my rice for later. Who gives in one?
Crags me up. Anyway funny. That's that's peaches in his rice. It was it was great. That story almost we're we're out with a bunch of people last night, and, he was there, and and it almost got told.
And I went, no. Save it. You've gotta know about this story because it was so funny. So funny. Anyway, that's what a rice bag is.
It's not to hold the it could. It could. Absolutely. But that's not the idea. Anyway, he knows now.
He's he's got it locked in. I bet he eats the rice. And Whatever whatever you wanna do with it. I bet he eats the rice. If you need a picker, a sewing picker, what do they call?
Think he'll just use some scissors and cut it cut the top and be good to go. Oh, no. Yeah. And then he'll be like, look at all this rice I got. Free rice.
Free rice. Have I got a treat for you? What is it? So Candy? As we were kinda putting together all of the songs we were gonna no.
It's not candy. As we were putting together all of the songs that we were gonna play, on classy 97 for Christmas, there was a few, on the list that didn't make the cut. Oh. And this song that I'm gonna share with you is one of them, and there's there's quite a few on this list. So, over the next, you know, few days as we get closer to Christmas, I'm gonna share some of these.
Yes. Some of these, you love. Some of these, you probably haven't heard, like the one I'm gonna play. I don't think you've heard. It's from Louis Armstrong.
Okay. And it's called Zat U Santa Claus, and that's that's right. It's z a t, zat. Zat U Santa Claus. Is so it's Zat you?
Is it zat you? Not not Zat chew. It's you, Zat, z a t, u, Santa Claus. Okay. Zat you, Santa Claus.
So I just want you to hear it. Is that you, Santa Claus? I like it. And then Listen to that jazz. I know.
The jazz is good. Gifts, I'm preparing for some Christmas sharing, but I pause because bang in my stocking. Alright. I can hear you not. Is that you, Santa Claus?
It reminds me of if you if you watch, the, Nightmare Before Christmas, it's the Oogie Boogie sound song. It's got that same vibe. Yeah. It does. Stopping for a visit.
Is that you, Santa Claus? You? So I think he sounds it sounds like he's got a smile while he's singing it. I think he had a lot of fun. He's very, very, very in love with this song.
Yeah. It's a wild one, though. Mind slipping it under the dough. Whole winds are howling. This is the very be growling.
Yeah. My legs feel like stars. I like it. I think it's fun. Yeah?
Kindly will you reply, is that you, Santa Claus? Is that you, Santa Claus? Again, we had a bunch of these on a list. And so what what we had kinda decided, we were kinda going back and forth about how we wanted to approach these songs. Did we want to give them some sort of, like, candy cane or lump of coal rating system?
Oh. Did we wanna put them on a nice list or a naughty list? So we're voting? Yes. I think we should vote.
I would put this one on the nice list. You think you like it? I do like it. Nice or naughty list? Yes.
Okay. And you say nice. Or candy cane. That's okay. Candy cane.
Let's just do the nice naughty list. That's fine with me. And you say nice list. I put it on the nice list. But I can't What are you gonna rate it?
I'm shaking that way. Then I can feel Look. I don't know. If I heard it too many times, I might be like, that's enough with the zat you Santa Claus. So if it was in regular rotation, is that what you're saying?
Well, the if it right? If it was playing all the time? You're gonna put Louis Armstrong on the naughty list? I can't I didn't say that. People will be so mad at you.
I've made a naughty nice look. Here it comes. Yeah. Alright. So That's him alright?
Is that him alright? I've nice list. I'm not gonna put Louis Armstrong on the naughty list. You're just gonna put that song. Just think that particular song would have to probably be, an occasional song.
It'd be a song that I'd wanna hear, like, maybe once a week. Okay. I agree with that. Maybe. I agree with that.
If I just happen to hear it, I'd be like, oh, okay. Yeah. There's that one. But it's something it's so different from the regular Christmas song that I like sticks out. Right?
I like the irregularity of it. Alright. Well, we'll, we'll play a little bit more of this. Yes. We heard one when we were traveling.
We were in a different state, and we were scanning the dial, and somebody had a song or maybe it was on satellite radio. Ew. Satellite radio. Remember. Gross.
I Did you write it down? Yeah. I took a picture of it because we it was one we were gonna talk about. Add it to the list, and we'll talk about it. K.
Anyway, that's, that's one right there. And, will nice list it? Because we like Louie, and you like the, different sound of it. Yep. I just feel like if I heard it every day, I'd be like, I it's enough.
Okay. I get it. I get what you're saying. Alright. Is that you, John?
That you, John. Because you had a little bit of a health scare over the weekend, and you went to the, emergency room. Yeah. You're fine now. They took care of you.
I'm doing well. Everything is fine. But you have to go get, antibiotic infusions all this week. Right. And so they left, I don't know.
The IV. The yeah. They left the IV and you Yeah. You got that on Saturday. Yeah.
And it was in my elbow, like, in my elbow pit. Not the most comfortable place to have an IV, first of all, but then to have it for days, it was uncomfortable to sleep. Yeah. I can't I couldn't fully bend my arm because there's a needle in it. And so it created some challenges.
We got in here yesterday. I hadn't been in the studio, and the first thing I do is try to put on my headphones, so I can hear, and I can't raise my arm enough. So I'm really struggling trying to figure out how to put on headphones one handed. That didn't work out so well, so I finally figured out if I kind of held them in my tilted your head? And it was in my dominant arm, which that was even more of a challenge because that's the arm I'm trying to move and use all the time, and I'm like, so it was, it was uncomfortable.
But yesterday, after I, had finished my infusion, the nurse felt bad for me for having that IV in my elbow, and she said, do you want us to Take it out? Do you want me to take that out, and we'll put a new one in tomorrow when you come in? And I went, yeah. That sounds way better. Because we even to shower, you had to wrap it up and I know.
So I'll have another one after today, but, free at last Hey. Look at your arm. For 24 hours. So I've been Full range of motion now, don't you? Which has been a wild time, and I'm and I'm excited about that.
But, yeah, now I'm just to put on your headphones no more. Yeah. And, hopefully, the next one's in my nondominant arm. And Pick. Can you pick?
Yeah. I I will probably pick my nondominant arm. I've got some bruising, which is pretty gnarly. Yeah. It is.
From from some of the different places they were trying to draw blood from and stuff. It's a it's a fun time, when you go get poked a bunch. It's not a fun time. Not fun. It's not a fun time.
Well, I'm glad that, you get your head sleep. I was able to bend my arms. Look at you bend in your arms. I know. I know.
Like a real chicken wing over here. Armpit. What is it called? Not your armpit. Elbow pit.
Your elbow pit. Yeah. No more elbow pit obstruction. Yeah. It's a good it's a good place to be.
Why do they call it an armpit? What a terrible on and off. I know, but what a terrible name. What else would you call it? This is my arm pit.
Oh. It's so weird. You have elbow. You have a knee and your armpit. Elbow pit, knee pit, armpit.
No. But he calls it an elbow pit. But this is also your shoulder, so it should be a shoulder pit. Yeah. What a weird name.
Let's talk about it. Okay. ZACHU Santa Claus from Louis Armstrong, song from the fifties. We're learning a lot about that song. First of all, it's it is a fan favorite.
We've heard from a couple of people that enjoy it Yes. Quite a bit. We also have learned that in the 2018 animated, Grinch movie, that is actually used in that movie, I haven't seen that animated Grinch. I haven't either, actually. Maybe that's a to do, because I have not seen that one, but that song is in it.
K. So that's you may have heard it there. I didn't know that. And then we also learned that it's been covered by a bunch of people, including Garth Brooks. Really?
Yeah. So I would like to hear that version. Interesting. See if I can dig that up. Yeah.
You, Garth Brooks. Anyway, it made your nice list, so we'll, see if we can Well, we got put sprinkle some of the nice list. On the naughty list I know. Because we were talking over that song. While we were talking about it.
Hopefully, we made right, and we're back on the nice list. I hope so. Because that song made your nice list. It made my nice list. It's 5.
It's Louis Armstrong, ZACHU Santa Claus. And we'll, we'll make note. That one's on the good list. Hey. Have you heard about the new trend?
I don't know. Have I? I don't know. Have you? What is it?
It's hot Doctor Pepper. Hot Doctor Pepper? Yeah. It's the new holiday drink. I've not heard about hot Doctor Pepper.
This is a retro recipe. So this is a recipe that Doctor Pepper actually pushed for the holidays back in the sixties. Was it just regular Doctor Pepper but heated up on a stove? It no. It's a 2 liter in a crock pot that you heat up, and you add a little bit of lemon to it.
So you you take your crock pot. You pour all the Doctor Pepper in there Yeah. And you add some lemon. Yeah. What's that called?
There's a there's a Christmassy hot beverage that has some spices and oranges and cinnamon in it. I think Wassail? That's it. Maybe they were trying to make, Doctor Pepper, sort of a because I think Wassail Or say Wassail. Or whatever it is.
I think it has Wassail. Alcohol in it. And so I think they might have been saying, hey. Here's an alternative. You know, you've got you have apple cider.
That's nice. Now try hot Doctor Pepper. Wassail isn't it's nonalcoholic. Okay. It's made with cloves, apples, cinnamon Yeah.
Bunch of different spices. Orange, ginger, and nutmeg. Okay. But it's a hot beverage. Yes.
Yeah. Okay. That sounds nice. Yeah. It's a it's a festive winter brew.
I want to try some of that. Do you wanna try the hot Doctor Pepper? I kinda do. Do you just do it with a with a just a bottle on the stove instead of a crock pot? Sure.
Does it have to cook for a certain amount of time, or is that just to warm it all up? Just warm it all up. Okay. Good. Yeah.
Let's do a let's just do a bottle, and we'll make a smaller recipe because if it grows, I don't wanna waste a whole 2 liter of delicious Doctor Pepper Okay. Is what I'm saying. Well, give it a shot. We'll try it. Hot Doctor Pepper.
Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot. Hot Doctor Pepper.
Yeah. Like hot chocolate on the on the polar espresso. Yeah. No. I get it.
Yeah. I get it. So Emery, our daughter, had a chemistry test last week, and she had to memorize some elements. Yeah. Like, 30 of them too.
It wasn't like just 1 or 2. Like, she had to know a bunch. And she texted you and I and said before she went into her class, I'm gonna fail my chem test. Right. She was very, like, a a doom.
Doom. And I just texted her a nice little, like, you got this. You're gonna do great. Just do your best. And then she responded.
Yeah. I think she kinda shut you down, didn't she? She said, that's not helpful. Yeah. No.
Don't encourage me. I she said, like, I appreciate it, but it's not gonna help me memorize the elements. And I went, ow. I mean, jeez. Wrong.
But she's lovely. There's gotta be a different way to say thanks, but no thanks. Oh, man. Oh, man. She ended up doing pretty good, if I remember right.
Did very well. And you responded to her with I mean, you gave her the ones that you knew. Well, she was like, it was after her test, and she's like, I think I forgot this and this, and I don't remember this. And so I was like, oh, yeah. That's this.
And and I think that's what this element is and whatever. And and then I was second guessing myself, and then I was looking stuff up. I was like, no. I was right. And then she said, well, I think I failed.
She sent a picture of her quiz, and she had gotten I mean, she was missing half of her paper. And I said, no. Not failure. Just some missteps. And she did not respond.
Because that's not helping. There you go being an encouraging parent again. You have got to quit that. I can't you can't win as a parent. Sometimes, you just can't win.
If I had said, yeah, you did fail. Yeah. Maybe you should have studied harder. Better. Maybe that's what she wanted.
Maybe. Maybe she's like, be upset at me. Like like, yeah. Try harder next time. I don't know what you're saying.
Either. But What do you need? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know what her 15 year old daughter needs, and I never will.
A little bit of confidence and a willingness to try. It does sound like the handsome boys in that song say Christmas. Christmas moose. Christmas means yeah. Anyway I like that song.
Is a very fun song. Let's, talk a little football. Let's do talk about football. You know why? Because we had a work Christmas party last night Yeah.
And The Vikings game. Somebody. I forgot that the Vikings were playing, and then somebody said, oh, there's a football game. And I'm like, oh. I just said the Vikings game is on.
And you went, oh, I forgot. I forgot. We gotta skedaddle out of this party. Yes. Skedaddle.
They wore their iced out uniforms. White. Yeah. They look good. You did not like Seattle's, color rush.
Their highlighter? They're very green. No. I did not care for that. Was on Sunday.
You did not like the color rush. I like the, the black uniforms, the the the, Ravens? No. The Ravens always wear wear black, but the, the all black that Detroit wears Oh. And I like the all black that the cardinals wear.
Those uniforms look good. And the Texans. The Texans all blacks look good. That Lions Bills game is intense. That was a 90 point game.
That was a really good game. Very high scoring game. Let's see. So I'm just looking here at what's going on. So we are in our playoffs in our fantasy league, and I have to keep reminding you because you get a little hot.
You get a little hot. Little, like a hot raccoon. And tell you've been telling me what I should be feeling. And so I'm not telling you what you should feel. I'm just telling you that in our playoff bracket, each bracket lasts 2 weeks.
So round 1, which is what we're in right now, the first half of it just ended last night. Yeah. You're still up against your same, opponent, so it's still you versus our son Mhmm. For this first round, but you add your scores from this week and next week together. Right?
I know. I'm just get a 2 week score. So you look at it and you go, I'm down 30 points. Dude, I had a killer game. I know you did.
My players went so well. I had a 159 points. I know. Beck had a 191. I know.
I don't even know. That's week 1. That doesn't mean he's gonna repeat that this coming week. But holy moly. I my players played phenomenally, and his did do.
Did do? It did too. I'm so mad. So but looking Davontay Adams, 42 points, and it still wasn't enough. Lamar Jackson, 36 points.
It still wasn't enough to beat back. Jefferson? Yeah. Yeah. Justin Jefferson has been doing this, Little Rascals.
I don't know why he's doing the Otay. He's doing the Otay time. When he makes a good play. Doing buckwheat. Otay.
Like, I got a dollar. I got it. I'm like, what are you doing? Dude. It's super funny.
I love the Vikings. Here's the deal. As I look at the scores, k, you, are in 4th in the league. That's why you're paired up against our son who is 1st. I'm 3rd.
You're in 4th. I'm looking at the playoff bracket. You have to stand up. I'm looking at the playoff bracket. What's that number next to your team name?
I'm not It's not a 3. It's right here on my phone. It's a 4. You're in 4th. That's why you're up against the number 1 who is our son, Beck.
So Beck is 1. You are 4. That's how it works. And then Emery and I are playing against each other. I am 3rd.
Stuck. Let's see. She is second. K? That's how it works.
Just it makes me really mad, Josh, because here's why. I Here's why. Have a really, really good team. Yeah. But your record is 6 and 8.
So Josh, listen to me. So No. I had the same players that I picked from day 1. True? Yes.
I do. No. You've dropped a bunch. I have not. Because I picked up some of them, and you're mad at me about it.
So don't go telling lies. The majority of my team is the same. So is the majority of mine. I've only changed all of them once. The only one I've changed is my kicker and a wide receiver.
No. You've changed more than that. And a tight end and a running. Yes. I've kept the same tight end.
How do I have the tight end then that you you keep saying? Who's your tight end? What's his name? I don't remember. I've had Kiddle the whole time.
I have Yes. I have Trey McBride in my I had him. Yeah. Briefly See? I got Jordan Addison.
Oh, I had him. No. I didn't have him. I actually never did. I thought about getting him, and then I never did.
I see. Well, anyway, the point is Come at me, dear. You you have another week of football before you need to get all hot raccoon, so calm yourself. I will not. Because there's only 4 teams in our entire league, all of us are in the playoffs.
There's a chance you'd be done right now. There are people whose Fantasy season is over. They're busted. They're cracked. They didn't make the playoffs.
They're done. So be happy that you have a playoff run, and you have another week before it's decided, and then you have another 2 weeks after that. I'm not happy because I'm in 4th. That's the first time you've admitted the truth, and I'm, very excited about that. You're in 4th.
Don't talk to me. We're fighting. I don't like what football does to you. Too late. Would you rather this or that Christmas edition?
I just felt like maybe you needed that weird little southern voice to show up somehow. It's alright. I could do without it. Alright. Because I just sometimes people do that.
They'll they'll put on a a fake southern accent. Oh, do they? Sometimes. And sometimes it sticks, and then they're like, that's what I'm known for. Okay.
But they don't actually have one. Okay. Did you know that? Uh-uh. It happens sometimes.
You gotta be careful. It's like when you when you used to make faces and your parents would go, your face is gonna stick like that. I like it. I see. You start talking like that, it might stick.
Hey. Let's get back to business. Okay. Would you rather this or that? Rather have a gingerbread cookie or a sugar cookie A gingerbread.
Or a pecan cookie. We just got pecan cookies. Listen. And oh, yum. Tanya, thank you.
And she said, how can you not like this con? I understand. That's what I'm saying. I can eat around it. There's a whole lot of great cookie around those pecans.
Just like there's a whole lot of great pizza around that pineapple. Same deal. Pecans are so good, dude. I believe you. They are so good.
Alright. But listen. Okay. It's a gingerbread for me, and I and I like a little frosting on there. On the gingerbread cookie?
Nice. And now are you talking like a hard gingerbread man cookie? Yes. Or are you talking like a like a gingery snap kinda cookie? Okay.
Let's do both. Ginger snaps are super good. Alright. Let's do both. Oh, yeah.
So I'll have that. The soft cookie? I'll have yeah. Either one. You'll pick them both?
Yeah. Over I can't Over a sugar cookie? Sugar cookies are boring. Oh, I can't believe you said that. My sugar cookies are good.
I've heard that. I don't whatever. Award winning. Oh, don't get me started on award winning cookies. Don't even go down that road because boy, oh, boy.
Salt in the wound. The never healing wound. We we might have to tell that story sometimes. That's a that's a deep one. Anyway, I'm taking I'm taking gingerbread cookie.
If it's a soft gingerbread, I'll go with that. If it's a hard gingerbread, I'm gonna go with the sugar. It's a toss-up. I like I like cookies. I like cookies.
