Yeah. I don't wanna eat grapes. Stop it. They're grapes. Our son wants to own a minivan.
Yep. The the it's a pretty stellar minivan. It's not the Dodge Caravan or that one with the big windows and the bed in the back or the just white panel van with no windows. No. It's not any of those.
No. It's it's just a regular old minivan. It's not a regular old minivan. It's not what did you say? It's a regular old minivan?
Yeah. No. It's not a regular old minivan. It is luxurious. It's still a minivan.
But luxury. Okay. I'm afraid of the doorbell. Yeah. You run away.
You scamper away. Yeah. It's more scampering than scattering. You scamper. Your little feet scamper away.
Like, oh. Oh, the door's ringing. We conquered a video game over the weekend High five. Because we act coo. Our daughter finally cleaned out her lunch box after a week.
Yeah. Gross. And then you made her eat the food. You're such a terrible mom. Listen, I don't like wasted food.
Maybe don't trust my cooking. Yeah. It might. Just have a sneeze in it. The studio halls are no longer decked.
Aw. It's a sad time. It is sad. I'm gonna get good at math. Just you wait.
Just you wait. Just you wait. Josh knows how to celebrate New Year's Eve. Yeah. We do it with puzzles, a TV card party.

Oh. Yeah. Yeah. It comes around once a week. Yeah.
It's one of those things, that seems silly to even say out loud because everyone knows. Everyone knows. Everyone knows. It's Monday. I saw that one happening.
You didn't. However, it is bacon day. Oh. And, you and I used to eat hall bacon, we called it, which is where we would make bacon, and then eat it in the hallway. Well, we're not allowed to have food in the studio.
Right. So, yeah, we'd go microwave our bacon, and then we'd I miss hall bacon. I kinda do too. But I didn't bring any bacon to make hall bacon. This is why we have to do some prep work, Josh.
You have to look at the days of the week Uh-huh. Before the day of the week. Gotcha. That way, we can have whole bacon on bacon day. My bad.
I know it is. Next? No. Next thing we can be disappointed in? Bicarbonate of soda day?
What? Yep. Okay. Baking soda, sodium bicarbonate. It's the same thing.
Okay. It is bicarbonate of soda day. So you could build a little volcano. Okay. You could put a new box in the fridge.
I don't know. Whatever. Whatever. We don't have a box in the fridge, so we would have to put our box in the fridge. It helps with food odors, I hear.
I've heard. Do you think that's real? I don't know. Or do you think it's just a way for them to sell a bunch of Probably. Bicarbonate of soda?
Also, bicarbonate of soda. Don't say that anymore. Why? Just say what it really is. Baking soda?
Yeah. Sodium bicarbonate or bicarbonate of soda? Time out. I'm trying to think of the last time you saw somebody with a with a box of baking soda in their fridge. I bet my mom has that.
I bet my mom also has that. Now when was it changed last? Exactly. Probably a few years. It's been a minute.
You're gonna have to you're gonna have to call somebody. Call your mom and see if she still has that. It's, bicarbonate of soda day. You should change out your box, and she's gonna go, what is bicarbonate of soda? Exactly.
Yeah. Bacon soda. Oh, you don't know? Yeah. Come on.
Get with the program, mom. Change out your bicarbonate of soda. Everyone's doing it. It's super cool. Doing it.
It is super cool. Super cool to change that. Aren't cool if you aren't changing your bicarbonate of soda. Next, do you have anything else? No.
That's all. 2? That's it. They've run out. It's the end of the year.
They're like, what are we gonna throw in? Bacon and bicarbonate of soda. Yeah. They've really given up. Mhmm.
We still have 2 more days of December, people. Come on. Try a little. Nah. Nah.
There's no point. Nah. Mail it in. New world record was set. There was, this was in Mansfield, Texas.
You wanna break a world record? Yeah. I can't do no. Oh. No.
No way. No way ever. What is it? There is a couple of different companies that, do these drone shows over Yeah. You know, cities and stuff.
Uh-huh. And this particular one was 4,981 drones. And it is, this group that puts on these shows, it is their 11th Guinness World Record. For the same thing? Because they keep getting bigger and more drones, and it takes 40 different people to organize these, shows.
Yeah. That's what? Less than how many did you say? 4000? Just under 5,000.
Okay. 4,981 drones. Is it excuse my drone knowledge or lack thereof. Uh-huh. Alright.
Is it all because are you you're talking about lights. Right? Like, it's a light show with drones. Sure. They call it swarm light show Okay.
Or swarm drones because there are thousands of them. And they, essentially lay them out on, they have to have, like, a big field, like a football field or something like that to lay out the the drones Uh-huh. On the ground in pixels. They lay them out. And then they're programmed.
There's there's software, and they all communicate and everything, and they take off. And, they have a a LED light on them so they can change different colors and whatever. And the programming, is really That was my come a long way because they they used to these are just fly a drone. It goes up. It goes down.
It flies around. It does its thing. Well, with the swarm technology, they can create three-dimensional pictures in the sky and animate them because the drones can move. Look. It's fascinating.
I've never seen one in person. No. I want to see one. Would be really, really fascinating to see. This particular one, they did, they opened with this big turkey, and then it opened its feathers on the back, which would be just fascinating and really, really cool to see.
And then they had kind of a wintery scene, that happened, and then, the big finale, Santa Claus and his sleigh with reindeer and a glow that he flew around. Cool. Really, really neat. Where did this happen? This was in in, Mansfield, Texas.
Good job, Texas. Yeah. So we got a couple of pictures I'll show you of the, the Santa scene and the turkey. But good for those dudes for getting their 11th world record. Blah de dog.
I know. Pretty wild. So, anyway, good for them. Good for them. I won't be able to get that one.
I don't have No. Well, I'll keep looking for some world records that you can break. Alright. Maybe still looking. Maybe in, 25, it'll be the year.
25 is your world record year? Maybe. Let's go. Okay. So tomorrow is New Year's Eve.
Is it really? Oh, yeah. It is. There are maybe you didn't know this. I didn't know this.
There's a lot of superstitions on New Year's Eve. I I guess I didn't realize that. Me neither. So the ones that we typically do is make noise with the whistles and Yeah. Noisemakers and hoots and hollers.
K. That is to ward off evil spirits. Okay. Then, typically, you have a midnight kiss. Yes.
That is to ensure that your relationship will last all year. Okay. I like the sentiment. Yeah. Then there's a bunch of other stuff that I did not know about.
So you can eat 12 grapes at midnight. Why? And that is to bring good luck for each month of the New Year. Make sure you eat 12. If you eat a lot of grapes.
If you eat 11, 12 grapes is not a lot of grapes. A lot of grapes for me. How many grapes do I eat in a whole year? You don't eat grapes. Probably maybe 1 or 2 if, if they get close enough to my mouth, they fall in.
That's it. What? Yeah. I'm not gonna put them in there myself. So I'm not big on grapes.
I know this about you, but how you're gonna be How many grapes go into a cup of grape juice? I don't know. Because I'll I'll drink grape juice. Okay. Does that count?
Sure. Make sure you eat 12 because if you eat 11, there's gonna be 1 month. Yeah. It's gonna be bad luck if you don't know which one it's gonna be. Grapes.
Do you have to eat them quick? It doesn't say. I don't know. Everyone grab your bowl of 12 grapes. Grapes.
If you carry an empty suitcase, that is said to bring a year of travel and adventure. Uh-huh. A clean house represents a fresh start. K. Don't wash your clothes on New Year's Day.
Why? Because you're washing loved ones away. No. That's that's true. I don't have Superstition.
People on my clothes. Okay. Okay. Writing a wish or a resolution and burning it at midnight is to help manifest the idea. Well, maybe that would help.
Help with what? Making a resolution come true. Okay. Let's do it. Eat some grapes.
Burn our resolutions. Okay. K? At midnight. You have to do all of this at midnight.
It's a lot of stuff. Around burning our stuff while we're eating our grapes. And kissing. And making noise. Yeah.
Okay? And carrying an empty suitcase. Oh, man. There's too many. In Brazil Yeah.
People jump 7 waves at the beach while making 7 wishes to bring good luck. Do they really? I don't know. You think everybody in Brazil's like, hit the beach. It's midnight.
You jump those 7 waves. Those waves coming in while you eat your grapes and burn your resolutions and hold that suitcase. Empty. Yeah. Make sure it's an empty suitcase.
Also, don't wash your clothes. What a mess. Why is it a mess? That's the you're gonna look ridiculous doing all these things at once. It doesn't matter.
Guess what? Because if I do, then I'm gonna have the best New Year ever. Alright. 2025. Doesn't matter if I look really ridiculous.
I'm gonna have the best 2025 year because I've done all of these superstitions. Okay. Oh, I think pick a couple. Okay. Let's do a couple.
I'm not gonna wash my clothes. You're not? You don't wanna do laundry on No. On the first? Nope.
And what else? We're gonna kiss at midnight. We're gonna ride our wish and burn it. K. We don't live next to the beach, so that one's easy.
And, oh, I forgot about this one. Opening your front door at midnight and making a lot of noise is said to keep the bad spirits away. Yeah. You're not welcome here. So we can open our door at midnight.
What else? The grapes. We gotta eat the grapes. The grapes. Don't forget the grapes.
Do you wanna eat 24 grapes, and then I'll just sort of, like, proxy 12 of them? Oh, if I eat 24 of them, does that mean I'll have double the good luck? Maybe. Or is that counterintuitive? And then if I eat 12, it counteracts the First 12?
Yeah. I don't know. That's a lot of grapes. There's so many superstitions. Too many grapes.
No. It's not. It's so many. 24? 20 that's not a lot of grapes.
I feel like 12 is too many. Grapes are small. I feel like when you eat grapes, you probably eat, like, at most 5. Okay. I would I would buy that.
You'd probably eat, like, 6 to 10. I think it's average. 12 is not that many. Isn't it? It feels like a lot of grapes.
It's not that many grapes. More than I wanna eat. Well, I'll eat your grapes. Okay. And then I'll just kinda, like, proxy off the good vibes from you eating my grapes.
Or it's gonna be too many grapes, and then and then it's just bad luck from there on out. Somebody's gotta eat these grapes. This is one of those good news stories where it starts off sad and then it gets okay. Okay. 8 year old beagle mix named Copper.
Looked emaciated. No water bowl. Rescuers, approached him. He was on a 4 foot chain in a backyard, skinny as all giddos. Someone called, anonymously and alerted the, Twin County Humane Society in Gallix, Virginia about this very thin dog tied outside that may be in need of help.
Okay. So the humane society, they, showed up, and they talked to the owner of the dog and explained the situation that, look. You've neglected the dog. Clearly, this has been going on for a long time. This dog has no shelter.
It's outside. It's on a 4 foot chain. This is not No. A humane situation, and you may be facing criminal charges of neglect because of this. Okay.
But if you sign over the animal to us, we will take care of it, and we can move forward with this, you know, and and we'll worry about what's gonna happen, criminal charge, cruelty to animals, etcetera, down the road if we have to. Sign it over. So the owner signed over the dog. Good. Again, this is an 8 year old dog.
So no idea how long this particular, owner had this dog, whether it was from puppy to 8 years or not. Here's the good news. Thank you. It's about time. I know.
I said it starts out kinda sad. Well, from the moment that these, that these workers met Copper, he was amazingly sweet natured. He was not violent. He was not aggressive. He's not territorial.
And he now has a forever home and spent his 1st Christmas safe and warm indoors with a loving family after being rescued, from the end of that short chain Good job. Which is really cool. So Popper is, immediately went to veterinary care. He was adopted, by these newlyweds who are planning their first holiday together as well. So, he's all part of, this family.
Good. They got a picture of him all snuggled up in a blanket, which is amazing. His body weight has nearly doubled at this point. Good. It's the first time in, his Christmas, the first time he's had a Christmas that include going to a dog park, treats under the tree, which is all good stuff.
It's fantastic. And then they found out that he's also in addition to, like, he likes other dogs, he also is totally cool with cats, which is good because these newlyweds also have 3 rescued cats. Aw. So every it's just a big family of 3 cats and a beagle, and there's 2 people that are in love with him. So it's all good.
Happy. I know. Good job. Yeah. Hopper deserved a nice house.
And he got it, and it's good news to get you going. Our son is big into cars. He loves cars. He talks about cars. He likes cars.
Is he big into cars? He's big into cars. Yeah. And and, specifically, he's really into, like, Japanese import, tuners and drift cars and, like, really likes the eighties nineties Japanese cars. That's kind of his thing.
So anytime we're out driving, we're like, oh, look at that one. Oh, look at that one. His other favorite thing is the Chrysler Pacifica. Yep. A minivan.
It's quite the van. But it's not just any man. It's any minivan as he will tell you. He saw 1 the other day. He got so excited about it.
He said, man, if you go on a road trip in that thing, you'd never have to stretch your legs. He's like, it's got it's got captain's chairs all over. 6 captain's chairs. It's got a built in vacuum. I mean, like, he's trying to sell me on the the Chrysler Pacifica being a a good van.
He just loves this stuff. That thing. It has a built in vacuum cleaner? Yeah. Maybe I need a Chrysler.
Oh, okay. They also have a hybrid, as well. So you can, you can do the electric and gas thing. But it he's not wrong. Like, it's got the It is luxury.
The DVD screens in the back that you can watch on the headrest stuff. It's, it's pretty luxurious. Is it? You can fold down all the seats so you can haul lumber in it. It's yeah.
It's got, like, stowaway seats and stuff. It's he's really super into it. But they also have the touring and touring luxury versions. Touring and touring luxury? Yep.
And then a limited and a pinnacle version, which is super, super, super nice. So he's, yeah, he's he's chosen a good minivan for, you know, a 20 year old kid who likes Japanese little cars. He's really in love with Christ's Pacifica minivan. Pacifica. Yeah.
And it's a it's a good pick. I mean not that much money either. I'm looking at it going Yeah. But go go all like, look at the look at the big big daddy of them. Look at the pinnacle.

Pretty much. Well, good good luck, buddy. You'd never have to stretch your legs. No. You just can.
There's 6 jack these chairs. You're already stretching out in that thing. Yeah. Oh, boy. So there we were, Saturday morning.
We were kind of just being lazy, just hanging around, not doing much of anything, and then the doorbell rings. Yeah. And I scattered. You did. As you do.
I ran away. What is the deal with you and running away from the door? Well, one, I was not prepared to see visitors. That's fine. But, what's the story about, like, scatter?
I didn't scatter. I went in the hallway for a minute because I was like It's a weird It's not weird. It's a it it is a a weird triggered reflex to a doorbell. Your Pavlov is to run away and hide. Yeah.
It's normal. And then I go, well, I guess I'm opening the door. You like opening the door. Is that right? You seems to.
Somebody's gotta do it. No. Nope. You don't have to. You can just let them I've let that happen before.
You can just let them knock and not ever answer the door. You hear the doorbell and you run away. Scattered. Yeah. I was not prepared to receive visitors.
I understand. And when you say that, it sounds like you're living in Pride and Prejudice. I was not prepared to receive visitors. It's a weird way to say I wasn't, like, properly No. Dressed.
Put together for the day. Yeah. Correct. Right. So I ran away.
And from the hallway, I'm listening going, I don't know that person. Who is this person? And you, it was clear that you hadn't seen this person in a while because you were like, hey. Hey. Right.
And it was somebody that we knew. Yeah. But I was like, I don't know who this person is. And then I went, I should just go out and see who it is. Yeah.
I didn't. And then when I did go out and the person had left, I was sad when I didn't know who it was. You should just open the door. It was a dear friend of ours. I know.
Oh, man. How sad. I should have put myself together and gone out. Which is what I thought you were doing because we were in the kitchen, and then you disappeared. You and I were in the kitchen when the doorbell rang.
Correct. Yeah. And then you disappeared. Oh, yeah. And I thought you were still just in the kitchen.
You did? Yeah. So after a short conversation, some salutations. Uh-huh. He he departed our residence as if we're going with this thing.
I'm putting it together, and, and then, you reappeared Here I am. And said, who was that? I said, it's who it is. It's her friend Daniel. Yeah.
It's her friend Dan. And she goes she goes, you said, Oh. Oh, man. I would like to have seen Daniel. Yeah.
Yeah. Well, you you missed out on seeing Daniel. I am sad. I am sad because you know why? Our friend Dan gives some of the best hugs ever.
Yep. I know. And then I felt real sad. I should have flagged him down and said, hey. Come back.
And or you know what? Don't run away like a weirdo when the doorbell rings. Can't. I will never stop doing that. Alright.
You and I, are pretty much really good at video games. That's what I found out. You and I working together on a video game all weekend long is a good way to spend a weekend. It is. A blustery Yeah.
Cold Yeah. Snowy wintery weekend. Yep. What a what a thing to do. So we played this game.
It's called It Takes 2, and it, came out in 2021, and it actually won game of the year that year in 2021. Yeah. It was pretty awesome. I like the game a lot. It was visually very good.
The gameplay was a lot of fun. The story was alright. Fine. Yeah. But but the game was challenging.
It had, bits of frustration. At one point, I got so frustrated. I said, I am not having fun. You said that you felt like you were holding me back and that, you were making it a not fun experience for me and that stressed you out? Yeah.
Because here's what happens. If I'm doing something alone and I continually fail, I'll either keep trying until I get it, or I will stop doing the thing that's causing me so much frustration. And cut it into a 1000000 pieces. Yeah. I've done that before.
Yeah. We don't have to talk about that right now. Okay. If I'm doing something that's frustrating with a partner, then I feel equally awful, double awkward, awful. What am I saying?
I feel more frustrated and horrible. Because you think you're hurting someone else. Also making somebody else fail. Yeah. It's fine if I fail, but if I'm the cause of somebody else's failure, I don't like that at all.
And so trifold that horrible feeling. And so I felt like I was making you fail, and then I was frustrated even more. And I said, I don't wanna do this anymore because I'm making you fail. Right. You're getting frustrated.
I am the weak link on this team, and I don't wanna play it. I understand where your head's at. You're overthinking it. I overthink everything. Because it was way fun to just hang out with you and play the game.
I didn't care if we had to do a boss battle a 100 times. That's the point of video games. I have played enough video games to know it sometimes is hard to beat a level, and that's okay. Sometimes you have to figure out the patterns of the bosses and the way they're going to attack and all that other stuff in order to advance. That's part of video gaming.
Okay. It's part of everything ever since I've played arcade games as a kid, putting quarters and tokens into into the machines to be able to it's just the goes with the territory. There's a guy, who, posted online. He said, my girlfriend and I finally checked out It Takes 2. My number one worry for the game was that, a, it was going to be too difficult for my girlfriend who literally has only played Sims prior to this game, or, b, it was going to be so easy for me that it became boring.
Those were his 2 kinda concerns. And he said, however, boy, was I surprised because the game was challenging. It was. It wasn't a button masher. You actually had to do things in certain patterns.
Mhmm. It was engaging. The story was I I felt like it was not necessarily long, but it certainly had moments where I was going, this is this could have been shorter. Yeah. But, otherwise, it was really good.
A bunch of mini games, a bunch of different, different formats. So sometimes it was a side scroller. Sometimes it was a top down. Sometimes it was, sort of first person view. It was super fun.
It was fun. Good day. Of the times, it was just you had to collaborate with your partner Right. And get through the level. It was fun.
I had a great time. I was kinda sad it was over. But then also kinda glad? Kinda. Yeah.
So that we could do something else. Right. There's that. There's that. It was fun.
I liked it. Yeah. Well, we'll just have to find another, another challenging game. Even though I quit on the one night and said, I'm not having fun. Yeah.
Because you were in your head about it. But then you were like, but are we gonna play in the morning? Yeah. Yeah. Do you wanna do you wanna get back to that game?
Yeah. Right. 14 hours of gameplay, to go through the story. I think we probably took a little longer. It's okay.
I'm not mad. Takes as long as it takes. Oh, is that right? Throw my own advice back at me. That's nice.
I had just cleaned up the kitchen yesterday. Counters were all looking fresh and clean. I go downstairs. I come back upstairs. There's a purple lunchbox on the kitchen counter.
Just sitting there? Just sitting there. And I go, that purple lunchbox belongs to our 15 year old daughter. Yeah. And When was this?
Yesterday. Okay. She has been home. She's been out of school for a week. Week.
Yeah. And I go, hey, Emery. Yeah? What, what's this lunch box doing on the counter? And she goes, oh, I just took it out of my backpack.
Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Have you opened it in a week?
And she says, no. Is there anything in it? I hold it open and shake it. I don't hold it open. I just picked it up and shook it.
Yeah. There's stuff in it. Oh, no. And I went, oh, no. What's in the lunch box after a week?
Lunch box. What's in the lunch box? I mean, this is behavior you expect from a 7 year old, not a 15 year old. Out of sight, out of mind. It was in my backpack.
That's that's for school, Emery. That's true. Not for Christmas vacation, Emery. She brought her she brought her lunch bag home, and she was like, her backpack home. It was like Done.
Forget about it. Yeah. I don't need to look at that for a week and a half. So I opened it up. It wasn't too bad.
I expected to see much work. Well, so she usually takes, like, a bag of chips, maybe a, string cheese, a sandwich, maybe a a jello or a pudding or something like that. A yogurt maybe. Mhmm. What was in there?
There was a half eaten bag of chips. Alright. There was a string cheese wrapper. Wrapper. Yeah.
K. Alright. And then there was a half a sandwich. Okay. Half a a peanut butter and jelly.
Half a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Not bad. That's not terrible. And still in the bag. Still in the bag.
Good. So it was not as bad as I expected it to be. I did hold it open to her and say, you have to eat this now. Yeah. Good answer.
You left it on the counter. You have to eat this now. And she said, that half peanut butter and jelly sandwich has been done. For a week? You have to eat it.
I hate wasted food. Yeah. Eat this sandwich. I bet that just got thrown away. I just threw it away.
Yeah. I know. It got thrown. Nobody's gonna eat that. It's been it was hard as a rock.
I bet it was. But give it a little microwave. Wrap it in a wet paper towel and microwave. It's too gross. I bet it softens right up.
If you're a parent and you've had kids off for Christmas break, might I recommend opening the back box? The backpack for the lunch box. What their lunch box has in it because it's better today it's better to do it today than to wait another week. Yeah. You don't wanna find that at the end of this week and then go getting ready for school, and then you've got some, you know, mold monster in there or something.
Yeah. Because in a week, when they go back to school and you're like, oh, we gotta get ready for life again, you're gonna be real sad. Yeah. You're gonna be real, real sad. Thanks for the, PSA.
You're welcome. I saw a video Mhmm. Of this mom and her little girl making I think it was cinnamon rolls. It looks like cinnamon. They had a dough roll out.
This video. You sent this to me. Yeah. I sent it to you. Yeah.
Because as they're making it, the mom goes, okay. Now we, here's the next step we have to do, and the little girl sneezes. Right in the dough. Right in the dough. Yeah.
Right on top of the And it's a good sneeze. For a dog. One of those surprise little kids sneezes that just you just you see it, and you go, oh, no. Well, you didn't see anything. No.
Not in the video. I'm just saying, like, as a parent, you see you see a a 4 year old sneeze like that, and you just go, oh, that's not good. There's a moment in the video where you see the mom go, oh, man. Right. And then there's, like, some seconds where she goes, okay.
Let's assess this situation. Do I do I just surely, the germs will bake out of this. Yeah. I don't wanna make a whole another batch. I don't wanna roll out a whole another batch of this.
So there's a moment in the mom's face where you go, do I do it again? They were pretty far along. Like, the dough was, like, rolled out. Like, this was not this was not, like, dry ingredients in a bowl point of the recipe. Yeah.
Would you do? I I don't know. Here's what I would do, and this is no lie. Depending on how long the process took the first time, I would probably just roll it up and bake it. Alright.
And make sure I knew which end was the end that she sneezed in, and maybe I just cut that part out. Okay. I get what you're saying, and I think I think you're right, but I also think it's gonna depend on the severity of the sneeze. I didn't think the severity was that severe. On a scale of 1 to 10, maybe a 5.
Maybe. I don't know. I I I feel like I feel like it it was it was sub 5. I think that was probably a 3 sneeze. Okay.
Like, it wasn't, like, one of the worst I've ever seen. Like, if there there were some bad sneezes. Exactly. And if it was one of those, I'd be Yeah. If it's anything higher than a 5, forget about it.
Yeah. That's probably the whole that's probably fair. Under 5, I'm like, yeah. We could probably just cut that part out, or it's just gonna bake it out. 400 degrees is gonna bake that out.
Does it? In my mind, it does. Have you ever cooked with kids? A temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit is generally considered high enough to kill most bacteria commonly found in food. There you go.
Yeah. I would do it. I would bake it out. Bake, bake, bake, bake it out. Okay.
Well, don't eat food Chantel cooked. My my bake sneezing. I don't cook anything. We have officially this video. It's not everything's just brown.
I know. It's kinda sad. Everything's brown. I didn't want to. I don't know why we started taking stuff down.
I don't know. It I it felt like it was time. Like time. Well, here's the thing. We're gonna be here tomorrow, and then we've got New Year's Day off.
Right. And then I don't know. I was thinking about coming back on what day? Thursday? Second.
Yeah. And I didn't wanna come back to Christmas. Okay. So So it just started It it was very festive in here. You would, made a 100,000 snowflakes.
They were everywhere. There was probably only 20. It was a lot. And then we had a bunch of things hanging from the ceiling and a Christmas tree and wreaths and And the door was wrapped. Yeah.
I wrapped the TV. Right. We had ribbons on things. And so we had stuff to play. Pictures over there.
We had Christmas cards on the door. Big giant ornaments hanging in the corner. We had a lot going on in here. There was a lot in this tiny little space. It was like, the inside of a gingerbread house for a minute.
Yeah. It was. And now it's gone. And now it just looks like gingerbread. Put away.
You did break an ornament in the process. Well, one of our big candy canes. Yeah. It broke in a weird spot too, like, right in the middle. Half.
So I don't know what to do with that. It's like a 4 foot candy cane. So I don't know what to do with it. Well, I thought you were gonna just throw it away. Well, I'm gonna just box it up.
I I think I can try to fix it. You do? How? I don't know. I was thinking tape.
That's alright. Well, tape? Yeah. That's my fix. That's my good fix.
That felt like the best fix. That's not gonna fix it. Individually glue the whole edge of that thing. It's like 3 inches around or so. I don't know.
We'll worry about it next year. Yeah. That's that's future Josh's problem. That's a next year problem. That's a that's that's for November next year.
Tuck it away. Yeah. We'll worry about it later. I like that. Figure and then I'll open up the box, and I'll go, I gotta figure out of this candy cane, or I'll just throw it away then.
Okay. I'm with you. Works for me. I told you my my brain works out of sight, out of mind. So that candy cane's already in the box, I've forgotten about it.
Well, there you go. But I am looking around at all the brown space in here going. Yeah. So we have these, carpeted walls that are brown. Uh-huh.
I mean, we've got cool LEDs up there, and we've got some nice decor with the records and things. But It's a nice space. But Yeah. But it's it's not Christmas anymore in here. Yeah.
And there's nothing to look forward to. Baby New Year. Decorate the place like a baby shower. No. Welcome baby New Year.
It's a terrible idea. And then decorate for Valentine's Day and the Saint Patty's Day. Throw president's day and a birthday in there if you want. How come nobody decorates for president's day? I mean, you could put a flag out.
You could put a well, yes. Obviously, people do that, but I'm just let's put some Abraham Lincoln hats out. Sure. Some George Washington beards. And teeth.
And teeth. White teeth. Because there's a lie that George Washington's teeth were made of wood? Right. That's it.
That's a lie. Okay. Let's between now and president's day, put together some president's day decor. Really jazz the place up. I like it.
We'll just get all of the lies that were told about presidents. So, like Print it out. A cherry tree? We can put a cherry tree in with an axe in here? Sure.
Really, really do it up. You know? I like it. It'll be festive. I'm gonna get a whole bunch of cardboard cutouts of presidents.
Like, the hall of presidents Yes. When you walk in. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.
No one will think you're weird at all. Oh, Josh. They already do. So we had a little dinner get together, with a couple of friends, last night, and, one of our friends is a geometry teacher. Mhmm.
And she has helped, do some, like, help with, with math for our kids. And, our daughter, Emery, is, pretty good at math. She's very good at math. She does this whole, like, oh, hey, math, but she really enjoys math so much to the to your discovery last night, you didn't know this before? I did not know this.
This was new information? This is very new information. I knew this because, when I when I pick Emery up from school, she'll, do the Duolingo math in the truck. Duolingo math. Yeah.
Just so you can keep up on your math skills and get more proficient and faster at it. Great. So she was doing Sounds fun. Some foreign language stuff, and she was really into that. And then she jumped over to this math one, and she's been doing math.
She's on a streak. She's got, like, many, many, many, many days I know. Of Duolingo math streak. I did And she did math for fun. I did not know, 1, that you could do Duolingo for math.
Yeah. And, 2, that she was just doing it for funsies. Right. It's amazing. What did she say she was doing?
She's doing, A bunch of negative integers and stuff. It's just it's just math. It's math. It's math. It's addition and division.
She's doing She's doing arithmetic. And Uh-huh. Stuff. Yeah. Math stuff.
Ew. Yeah. For fun. For her. Listen.
And here's the thing. Fantastic. I only make fun of it because I am not good at math. Do you have Duolingo math on your phone? Nope.
You should. I don't why would I choose to do something that I know I'm not good at and that only aggravates me because I'm not good at it? Do you think that practicing Duolingo would improve your skills over time? Yes. I do.
But you have to know the material that you're doing in order to be good at it. When you, launch Duolingo and start a foreign language, do you know the foreign language before you start? A little. Okay. But do you not go through basics of learning, how to say things and how to do things as you kind of develop your skills in the app?
My my point is it works the same way for math. I know what you're saying. Right? You don't have to be good at it to start. Okay.
I just don't know. I don't understand where you even begin. Well, you download the app, and then you I just pushed for the app. I Yeah. I thought I had it because I was I was You were doing some Spanish stuff.
But I must have deleted it. Yeah. So I don't even have the app anymore. It also in addition to math, they also do, music, I just learned. So, like, they have piano and stuff in there too.
Really? Yeah. Now that I can get the ice. I know. I know.
And what else does this say? They do math and music. Math and music and language. So, yeah, they're doing, all those things. That's so cool.
Yeah. Alright. I'm gonna have to download that again. Listen. Maybe is there an area of what does the math look like to you?
Do you have the app? No. Because I wanted to just log in and see what it looks like. Okay. So I start out with the elementary course.
So you can start out learning multiplication, division, fractions Okay. Area and perimeters, place values, geometry, measurement, and decimals. That's the elementary course. Okay. I'm gonna start there.
Yeah. That's fine. Do it. It's great. And then you start to build, you know, off of that.
So, yeah, you can totally do Duolingo, math. You can do it. I know you can. But will I want to? You might you might find yourself going like, yeah.
Now I'm What if I'm on a math streak? That's what I'm saying. What if I'm like, I'm really good at math. I just never knew what I was doing. Right.
Because I was never taught Correct. The way that I needed to be taught. Bingo. Now you're seeing the the big picture. Bingo.
Bango, baby. Correct. And never be ashamed that you're good at math once you're good at math. Don't. Never.
Why would you? That's what I'm saying. When you when you get good at something, be proud of it. If I was good at math, I'd tell everyone. Get good at math.
I might. Okay. Good. Do you remember, walking around the store with the little scanner when we were getting married? And we were, doing the registry thing.
Yes. Yeah? Do you remember that? I do. Do you remember you were, not upset?
That's not the right word. But you were you you had an idea of what should be on the registry, and I had different thoughts about what should be on the registry. Yeah. So we had a friend's, son, get married over the weekend, and you were looking at their registry. We were we were going to attend, and it is it's it weighs away.
And so we decided with the weather, we just didn't we didn't wanna so we didn't end up going, and so I was just looking at their wedding registry to say, oh, I'll just get them a gift. Right. And and you were looking through, and you're like, oh, that's an interesting thing to put on a registry. And I said that the words came out of my mouth, the same words I said twenties, whatever, years ago when we were getting married. Look.
You don't give anybody the opportunity to buy it if you don't put it on there. That's right. They they they don't have to buy it. But if you if it's something you think you might want, like, go just put it on there. Right.
And what if we get it? I think we did get something that you put on our wedding registry. I don't even remember what it was. But you put something on there, and I was like, no one's gonna buy that. And I we did end up getting it.
Yeah. So I'm just saying, you don't get what you don't ask for. You put a lot of stuff on our registry 20 years ago that was very much I was like, that's too expensive. And you were like, maybe people wanna go happy. Wants the opportunity.
Yeah. Maybe there's, like, a group of peep group of coworkers or something. They're like, let's go nuts. Everybody throw in $10 or whatever. And you get, you know, 15 people, you got the ability to do something different.
That's right. That's true. You're not wrong. So you just you gotta put it out there. They can't say, hey.
Let's do that for these guys if they don't have the option. I don't think they do registries like that anymore. I think you can do it all online, which all online. It takes the fun out of it. It was fun going with the little guys I know.
Scanning things. Yep. You went a little scan happy. You can't get it if you don't ask for it. You know?
There's a lot of stuff on this list. Did they just scan this whole aisle? Yeah. You did for sure. We need it all.
I wish we could go back and see what was on our registry that we didn't get Good question. So that we could send an email out now to all our friends and family. Like Here's my registry. It's been 20 years. Still time to make good.
All the stuff? Like, we could use new stuff. Yeah. I like it. We should fill one out just for fun.
It's not fun anymore. It's not? Well, you have to do it online. Yeah. But we could still do it online and then put it out there.
You just people might wanna buy a gift. You don't know. You don't get what you don't have to work. Scanning gun. That was the fun part.
It was fun. Yeah. You felt like you worked there. You did? Why?
Yeah. Kinda. But then you were like, scan this. Yeah. Can this go on the registry?
Let's find out. What about this? Scan this. It just It just days. You just never know.
Sad for the kids to get married. Yeah. Yeah. They just don't know. You just click on something online, and you're like, add it to the registry.
Yeah. No scanning gun at all. They don't know what they're missing. They don't even know. Like, who was the last person person?
Person? Yeah. The last person that walked in, sat down with the little computer, started filling out the registry thing, grabbed the little scan gun, and then when they got back, they went, well, that'll be it for that. You can just throw that away because we aren't using that anymore. Somebody was the last person to do that.
You're right. It wasn't me. It wasn't me. But somebody was. That's weird to think about.
Anyway, cool. Yo. What's up? Is it would you rather this or that already? Yes.
It is. Holy cow. The day is just cruising by. Would you rather have a big New Year's Eve party until the early hours That sounds nice. Or a quiet night and bed early?
That also sounds nice. I don't mind, hosting and or, you know, attending, either way. A a nice, party with games and, and and laughs and foods and a lot of fun. Growing up, that was a big thing. We would always go over to my aunt and uncle's house on New Year's Eve, and they, would wheel the TV out on a cart.
What? Yeah. So we could watch the, the Times Square, ball drop thing. But did they have to wheel it out on the truck? Have it in the living room.
The living room was like a seating room. They didn't have a TV in there. Okay. And so I don't know where the TV lived, but they would wheel it out from somewhere, and then we would watch it there. That's a really interesting thing I've never thought about.
Where did that TV live? Don't know. But it would get wheeled around the house and plugged in in different spots, and we would watch. What was it on what did it get wheeled out on? Like a rolly cart, like, sorta like what you'd see when you were in school.
Not much different than that. That was a good day when those wheelie TV carts. Cool. Anyway and we would watch that, and we would, we always built a puzzle that was always a big part of New Year's Eve. Collectively, as a family, my cousins and aunt and uncle and stuff, we would all there was always a puzzle that we would all work on.
Did you start it that night and then complete it that night? Yeah. Because here's the thing. When you get together at, like, 4 in the afternoon, it's a long time to midnight. That is a long time.
You guys got together that early. Yeah. We would it was an all day thing. Wow. You guys were party animals, weren't you?
Pretty much. And then you left right after the ball dropped or right after midnight? You know, there were times when I probably fell asleep on a couch. As kids do. And that that I remember happening more than anything else.
I think I probably fell asleep. Okay. I don't remember. I wasn't an adult. I was a kid.
So I get it. Anyway, yeah, I want the party back. I think the party's cool. The puzzle party? Well, all of it.
The whole thing. Wheel the TV out, the whole the whole shebang. Okay. Let's make it happen. That's my pick.
That's a good party. The Puzzle Wheel TV party. Whee. And veggie trays and foods. Veggie trays is your first snack option.
You are. So You know what else would happen? My my mom and my aunt would plan their gardens for the next year during that time Oh. As well. That was a thing.
What a rager. It was a party. I'm telling you. Get the veggie drink. What are you picking?
