Baloney. Thick cut. Mhmm. About a month ago, a 6 year old black pug named Bruno was left with a dog sitter. This happened in Sacramento, California.
Okay. Well, Bruno escaped the backyard. Bruno. Mhmm. We're not even supposed to talk about you.
Well, look at that. Isn't that funny? Well, Bruno's family was understandably pretty upset about their missing little dog. Bruno. They worried and worried and worried and searched and put up signs and did everything they could.
For 3 weeks, the family did everything they could, and they finally got some good news. What's the good news? Bruno was found. Where was he found? At a gas station.
Bruno just did a day. Bend, Oregon. What? How far away is that? 100 miles.
Bruno, listen, buddy. A day out is not that far away. He was brought to the local humane society. They scanned for a microchip. The shelter reconnected Bruno with his family.
Fantastic. Bruno's travels remain a mystery. We'll never know what adventures were had. Neither his family nor the staff at the humane society have any idea how he made his way across the state line. Everyone involved, obviously, thrilled that he was found safely.
Bruno's family has made arrangements for reunion. He was cleared up, given treatments while he's being cared for at the shelter. Probably massages and stuff. Bruno. Yeah.
Everything checked out. Bruno's now officially safely back home in California, much to everyone's relief. That poor babysitter. We Yeah. Were in charge of a dog once, and that dog got lost on our watch.
And that was very, very bad news for us. It wasn't even our fault. It wasn't our fault. But, you know, things happen. But you still feel terrible because you're supposed to be in charge, and you lost the dog.
We were fit to be tied, weren't we? Were we? Yeah. Yes. I was.
I know. I I don't think, because you and I weren't together when you found out that the dog had run away. Yes, we yes, we were. Yes, we were. Are we talking about the same dog?
The dog Sugar. Happened multiple times. Chihuahua? Yeah. Named Sugar.
The one. That's the one. Yeah. That we were watching Mhmm. That our friends let out.
Mhmm. Just making sure. Yeah. We were together. We were?
Yes. I don't remember. We weren't home. I know that. No.
We weren't. But we were together when we found out it got lost. Mhmm. And then we went searching. Mhmm.
Good news. Sugar was found. Yeah. That was scary, though, and sad. Not 400 miles away?
20 miles, probably. Not even. 5. 20 miles? Do you know how far 20 miles is?
Yeah. It's a long ways. Yeah. Okay. You're right.
It was more like 5. Maybe. Maybe 3. Yeah. Still in the neighborhood.
Not even that far away. Not even a mile probably. You alright? There you go. Alright.
Some good news to get you going. Good job, Bruno. They're saying if you are a real Christmas tree putter upper, then now is the right time to get it and put it up so that you're not working extra hard to keep it from drying out. So 21 days until Christmas, and you might leave it up a day or 2 after. Mhmm.
Or longer depending on how how your schedule works out, I suppose. But they're saying to maximize the amount of time you get to spend with the tree, today is the day. Today is the day is what they're saying. Well, I saw some folks, purchasing real Christmas trees last night. We were running some errands, and I saw several of them strapped to the tops of vehicles and stuff.
I didn't I didn't even notice. Yeah. And we haven't done the live tree thing in several years. We used to go harvest our own, get the permit, go to the woods, do the thing, which was a lot of fun. It was.
That was a that was a nice little family outing, on a on a weekend. But we haven't done that in quite a few years, and now we, have a nice pre lit artificial one that takes me a few minutes to put up, and I don't have to go out in the cold. And it other than in the garage to get the big box down. But that's not bad. I don't mind I don't mind the pre lit.
I don't mind it either. It's pretty easy. It's so easy. And it was we would always go get the real tree, and then there wasn't a lot of room to hang ornaments. Like, there wasn't always a lot of branches.
Well, that's because we picked poorly. Mhmm. We did. But but they were also cute, and, it was a real tree. And it was real.
You had a real tree in your house. Yeah. But it was a lot of work. The sawing, the tying it to the roof. Carrying it through the forest.
Carrying it through the woods. Figuring out what to do with it when it was over. That was always an interesting challenge. The years that we did it, we did, cut off pieces of the trunk. Do we still have those somewhere?
I don't know. I forgot that we did that. I mean, we've gone through all the Christmas boxes. So if we do, I don't know where they'd be. I don't either.
Oh, no. That was a good tradition that we had for a couple of years. Uh-huh. It's a shame that we don't know where those went. Because it would have been smart to turn that into an ornament for the next year.
Yeah. It would've. But I don't know that we did that. I don't think that we did, but you're right. That would have been a good, something fun to do.
Mhmm. Way to follow through on that one, bud. I don't know what we did with them. I don't either. It just occurred to me.
I don't know what we did with that. Oh, that's a shame. Yeah. Well, why do you make me feel sad? Well, I didn't that's not the point.
Well, now I do. Okay. I've I'm trying to wrack my brain trying to figure out where those went. Yeah. I have no idea.
I don't know either. It would be in a ziplock bag. Did you know there And then somewhere, they got tucked away. There are some people who put up trees on Christmas Eve. There are some people that throw their Christmas tree out the front door The day after.
10 o'clock Christmas morning. Oh, that's true. I have seen that before. See you. Jeez.
We're done. We're done. Moving out of here. Next thing. Yeah.
That's fine. You you do you. It's too much time. It's too much time and work. There's no way I'm gonna I'm gonna leave it up longer than one night.
Right. You gotta have that thing up. It's too much work. 21 days to go. Here we go.
Hustle and bustle. You are going camping this weekend, and I think that is totally gross. Let's be let's be clear. These days, camping for me is not like camping used to be for me, I would say. And then I would also say that, what I mean by that is, like, I'm I'm in town.
I'm not even, like, leaving town. Okay. I'm going to be this will be the closest camping to home I have ever done. I might as well be camping in our backyard. This is an awful lot of work to do for camping in the backyard.
Yeah. I'm I'm essentially I mean, I'm I'm in walking distance of the house. Are you? Yeah. It's not that far away.
I didn't realize, but you were that close. Yeah. Like, you could come visit. It's real close. You're camping with the scouts because you're a scout master.
True. And, a lot of the scouts will be camping. You guys camp year round. We do. We camp all the time.
We camp in the snow. We make snow caves. We do all kinds of camping. Gross. I'm a fair weather camper.
No. I know that about you. But you could camp anytime. I could. And, like, because of furnaces, you could camp in the dead of winter.
Yeah. I know that. But what's the fun if you can't go outside? You you can. The whole point of camping is going outside.
You can, and then you go inside to warm up. Do you not go sledding? Yeah. It's the same. You go outside, and then you go back in where it's warm.
Yeah. But it's okay. You build a snowman? I I don't think go inside. I don't need you melt.
Shh. Quite. Okay. But yeah. So I'm doing, I'm doing, some tenting.
I wouldn't call it camping. Okay. I will be in a tent, and that's that's what I'm working on. Yeah. You've got a rooftop tent Yeah.
That was attached to your Tacoma that you used to have. Now you have a Tundra. Correct. So you had to take off your rooftop tent. So this week has been you trying to figure out how to last week and a little bit yesterday, but I think I came up with the idea.
I've been trying to figure out how to attach the, the tent to my new truck that's bigger. You figured it out? I think so. I had to get creative. And how did that feel?
Resourceful. Good challenge. Independent. Good. Creative.
I know. Not necessarily creative, but I had to I had to challenge myself a little bit to to figure out what I needed, and then, I think I figured it out yesterday. So I'm actually getting some metal made for me, which is something I've never done. I went to a metal shop, and I said, I need metal. And they were like, okay.
What do you need? And I explained it, and we took some measurements, and they went, great. We'll have it done. And I went, okay. Here's my money.
Here's some money. Make a thing. So, at a fraction of the cost of a premade thing, I'm getting a thing made for me. Well, ta da. I know.
Good job. Yeah. Good job being resourceful and problem solving. Metal. Metal.
Yeah. Metal. Yeah. Very, very cool moment. So, yeah, I should be, I should have the tent back on the truck.
Hopefully, if not today, tomorrow. Good job. That's my goal. How how are you gonna put the tent back on the truck? What what do you mean?
Oh, how are you gonna put the tent on the truck? Like, how physically? Yeah. You just pick it up. How are you gonna put it back on the truck is what I'm asking.
Some bolts? No. No. No. No.
No. How are you gonna pick it up and put it on the metal? Carefully. But will I be involved is my question. Maybe.
Dang it. So you had to go to the tools store last night, the hardware store, which is not my favorite place to be. I noticed you were kind of in a hurry to get out of there. Well, guess what? I got the tool I needed.
Well, I got the the spray paint I needed, and then you were like, you're not walking toward the checkout. I thought we were done. And I was like, well, I still have to go get a drill bit. Like, I still have a couple things. And you're like, ugh.
One of my least favorite things to do is shop. I don't enjoy shopping. 21 days until Christmas. And my least favorite store is a store that I don't like to look at stuff. But I don't don't like to look at stuff there?
No. I don't. Not at the tools store. Nope. No.
Thank you. Really? Specifically that one. There's a similar store like that that has nice things that I can look at. Like the garden shop or the holiday section.
They have a holiday section. It's not as good as go in those areas. It's not as good as the other one. Mostly because I also it was cold, and I just wanted to be home. I had been working all day.
And Uh-huh. I just wanted to be home. And so when you said I gotta go to the hardware store, I went, I don't wanna go. Well, then why did you come with? Because I had to go to the grocery store to get Yeah.
The other stuff. I know. After the hardware store Yeah. Plus cool store. Like to go shopping at the hardware store.
Yes. So I know when I go there, you're gonna be like, oh, I gotta go look at this tool, or, oh, I gotta go look at this lumber. Right. Or, oh, I gotta go look at this. And I there's nothing fun to look at there.
My fault. So, yeah, when you grab the thing that you said you needed and you walked the opposite direction of the checkouts, I went, no. Plus, I also like to look for a deal. So you gotta check the clearance section. Like to look for a deal.
Because I am a sucker for a deal. You are. That they were out of deals. I I I could not find any deals. They had deals, just nothing that you wanted.
That is true. I I did not find a deal for me, but that's okay. You left the deals for other people? That is correct. Congratulations, other people.
You got deals. Left you the deals. That's right. You're welcome. There are deals at the tool store, so I didn't take them all.
When I go to the store, it's, you get in, get what you need, get out. Yeah. And I like to wander You are. Things out. Lollygagger at the store.
I don't enjoy it. A lollygagger. Uh-huh. Uh-huh. I said what I said.
No. I heard it. It's documented. Listen to it again later on the podcast, and I'll hear it again. Lolli gagger.
What's another word for it? No. That's fine. It is you, like to look at stuff. Yeah.
You There's things to see. There's nothing to see. It's the same stuff every time. Every time. I hate shopping.
I just read a thing that said 2 thirds of the people in the world have never seen snow in real life. I'm very curious about that. Is that because people, live where there is no snow? The majority of people now this is on Earth. On Earth.
This is 2 thirds of people on Earth. Yes. That would make sense. What is? Well, if you were gonna say, like, 2 thirds of people in Idaho, I'd be like, they're lying.
I thought 2 thirds of people on Mars have never seen I'm just saying, this is globally. This is not Yes. This is not, just Yes. This is nationally. Right.
No. International. International. Globally. Global.
Worldwide. Worldwide. Yeah. Not not just in America. I remember, I don't know, years years years ago, watching it snowed for the first time in Florida.
And there were people there who had never seen snow before and watching them kind of play with it. I remember seeing a video of that and being like, how do people never see snow? We live in snow here. So it's that's fascinating to me that 2 thirds of the people. That's a huge chunk of people.
Okay. So I I just did a a quick search because I wanted to find out, first of all, where do the most of the people in the world, where do they live? Do you know? In warm climates. No.
Like, actual countries. Just tell me. Oh, India and China. Oh. They have the largest population.
Could have guessed that. That's what I'm trying to say. So then I said, does it snow in India? Because I don't know. It does snow in India.
It does. Primarily in the Himalayan region of India. Kashmir, gets snow. Anyway, they get a a significant snowfall during the winter months, making them popular destinations for winter tourism and snow related activities. Makes sense.
Okay. So they do get snow in India where there is a lot of people. And in China, they do get snow in China. So I'm now I'm going like, okay. Where's all these 2 thirds of people?
Where are they? That's what I'm saying. Where how is it possible that if the most populous Areas. Places in the world, being India and China, do get snow, have they not seen snow? And let's be clear.
The land area of China is large. Yeah. The land area of India. Large? Large.
So not everybody lives in the snowy areas Exactly. Or has access to the snowy areas. The same could be said about people in America. There are people in the south who have never seen snow Correct. In real life because they've not been able to go to where it snows.
Now this has been a pretty temperate winter for us so far. We normally have many snow days before December. What day are we on? 4th? Yeah.
We've seen snow a lot usually in years past. I'm not mad that we haven't seen quite so much snow yet. I'm not I don't hate it. I was just gonna look and see if we had snow in the forecast. There's a little bit on Sunday, tiny little bit.
Maybe some mid December, like, on 15th, but I'm not seeing snow. I'm clear to Christmas and beyond. I'm not seeing much snow in the month of December. So we won't even have a white Christmas probably. There's a there's a snow showing up in the 1st part of January, but even still, like, our high temps and I'm stretched out to mid January.
So this is really pushing it. Changes all the time. Of course. But I'm seeing temperatures, like, still into the thirties. Very few days are there, like, some twenties.
It's in the forties today, tomorrow, Friday, Saturday, forties. And people will say, we need the moisture. Yeah. Yeah. We do.
Yeah. Blah blah blah. We get it. But I like that we don't have the shovel. No.
We need to. No one ever says that. No one ever will ever say that. No. Oh, I just I got this shovel I need to use.
It could stay sitting there. I don't mind. Sit still, shovel. I mean my back. Yeah.
A couple of the most asked questions around the holidays are, how does Santa fit down the chimney? Oh, good question. And what if we don't have a chimney? Well, look. If I know anything about, about it, you don't have to.
You don't have to. He can make one Yep. For what he needs. And then, for for 2, he does that squishy thing. Yeah.
He's seen the Santa Claus. Mhmm. Yeah. It's all magic. He can he has his ways.
But There's, like, this nose thing. We didn't have a chimney growing up. Did you? We still don't have a chimney. Well, we do.
It's just closed off at our current house. But when I was a kid, we didn't have a chimney. My mom made one. Oh, cool. Those, like, Yeah.
The cardboard, like, corrugated plastic. Yeah. Yes. I know what you're talking about. And so my mom would get that out every year.
Cool. So that would be our chimney, and I never saw him, but I feel like that's the way Santa got in our house. I totally agree. He had to have. Of course.
Did you have 1? Did you have a chimney? I don't remember. I know, the house I lived in from, like, 2nd grade, 8th grade did not. After that, yes.
But I don't remember before that. Okay. I know we had, we had a wood burning stove. So that I hope it wasn't has a chimney. Burning on Christmas Eve.
Small tube. But I don't know. I there's a couple of houses that we lived in that I don't know enough about. Oh, okay. So When I was a kid, he always came through.
Santa always came through, but when I was a kid, that would that would worry me at night. It makes sense. Like, oh, we don't have a chimney. No. It's okay.
How's he gonna do this? Makes one. He he made it work. Yeah. He always showed up.
Always makes it work. That's his job, making it work. There another question that kids ask around the holidays, how does Santa know if I've been bad or good? Oh, there's many ways. There's reporting.
If I'm still naughty? Will I still get gifts? Gift of coal in your stocking, which at the very least you can use in your nonexistent chimney to keep warm. Your coal? Mhmm.
Keep your coal warm? Is that You use coal to keep yourself warm Okay. In your nonexistent fireplace is what I'm saying. I see what you're saying. Yeah.
Yeah. I wonder if they still make that corrugated cardboard fireplace kit. Look it up. I want one of those. You do?
Yeah. Look it up. That is, like, my the big thing the big trend right now is nineties Christmas. Yeah. Your tacky Christmas thing?
That's my nineties Christmas. Look it up. That's what and that's where we hung our stockings. We hung our stockings on it. Yeah.
I wanna find one of those. Well, get get digging. What do I look for? Corrugated plastic fireplace. Plastic?
Yeah. It's plastic. It's cardboard. No. It's not.
Yeah. No. It just is made the same way as cardboard. It's like paper. They do have it.
There you go. You can get these anywhere. Look at that. Well, I think we need one in here. I thought we could make one our own self.
I bet you're right. Do you know how to draw a brick? No. Do you know how to paint a brick? I've never We're just gonna make drawn a rectangle.
If you have I've never been my whole life. If we have big sheets of cardboard, we're gonna make one of these. Okay. Don't go nuts. No.
You're gonna help. Oh, I am? Yeah. You've been voluntold. Oh.
Josh, I volunteer you for everything. No. I I'm aware. I've, I've been around a minute. Yeah.
You're gonna make this for me. Oh. Thanks, dear. Alright. You're the best.
I had to sing that song, when I was a little kid. You did? Yeah. I I would yeah. I was at, a a daycare thing that also was a kindergarten, I guess Okay.

I'm gonna see if you know these. Are you ready? Sure. Demure. I know where that came from.
But what does it mean? It was it was very cutesy, very demure, very mindful. That's where that's where it came from. Demure, in the sense of the meme. What does it mean?
Yeah. So it was kind of, in the meme, it was kind of, it was like, see how I mind my own business? See how I Okay. Keep to myself? See how I do the polite things?
Okay. See how I, don't make an outburst. 1 for 1. K. Next up, brat.
So brat is good. Is it? That's essentially it. A confident, independent attitude? It's it's just that is so brat.
Okay. How about Ohio? So that came that that one's actually a couple of years old. The Ohio thing comes from the Riz, and only in Ohio, and it it was sort of like a like a, oh, that thing is crazy. Isn't that crazy how that happens?
Like, only in Ohio. Okay. It's something that's uncool Yeah. Or cringeworthy. Yeah.
Like, eck. Yeah. K? Only in Ohio. Doing good.
You're doing great. How about, to cook or let them cook? That's like, that's like they're they're on on their game. Let them go. Let them go wild.
That let them cook. That is cooking. Yeah. Is that the right way to say it? No.
Oh, boy. This is cooking. Nope. That is not there our daughter would be so disappointed right now. She would say, what you just did is from Ohio.
Okay. Let's see. Where's the other one? BFR. It's an acronym?
It is. B for real. B for real. BFR. Yeah.
B for real. B for real. Know that one. I hadn't heard that one either. And then the last one, that is eating.
Yeah. That's, eating or I ate, and that is just like I knocked it out of the park. Like, that outfit is eating. I ate my breakfast this morning. No.
Yeah. No. But you could eat, you could eat that math test. I ate that math test. Well, then how are you gonna turn it in to get your grade?
No. See, you just you don't get it. I do get it, and that's why I'm so cool. That's why I'm cooking. I'll be in the kitchen.
I'm cooking. The noise the teenagers make when you do this. They all go But that's what I live for. You see? Yeah.
I live for that sound. My favorite thing is to use some of these in the very, very proper way Yeah. Around teenagers, not not ironically. Oh. I like to use them and then have the teenagers go, how does that old man know that stuff?
Like and then they go, I never thought I would ever hear that come out of your mouth. And I go, you just don't know me. Yeah. You are cooking. That's right.
Let me cook. And then I walk away, and they go, what is that guy? How are you so much cooler than me? Little bit of confidence. Stop.
Stop. Well, as we get closer and closer to counting down to Christmas, you've been talking about advent calendars, and I might have found the best one they make. Okay. What is it? Cheese.
Oh, that's not the best one. It's cheese. I've seen some cheese advent calendars. It's 12 days of cheese. How come some advent calendars are only 12 days and some are 25?
Probably because this one is cheese. How much is it? Is it, like, fancy cheese? Dollars. Oh, it's fancy cheese.
It's 12 fancy cheeses. This is from a company out of Wisconsin. It looks like a little house. Wisconsin, the Wisconsin? The cheese place?
That's what I'm saying. And it's, it's 12 different kinds of cheese. And look, I don't need to spend a $100. I'd probably spend a $100. On cheese?
How much is is a nice fancy cheese? If I go to to the deli section of the store and I go I'm picking out 12 nice cheeses. You think I could keep it under a $100? No. I don't.
I actually think 12 a $100 is a good deal for cheese. Have you been to a nice cheese selection? That's insane. The price of cheese? But I kinda wanna try 12 different cheeses over the 12 days counting down to Christmas.
Doesn't that sound great? I love cheese. I love trying cheese. I'd like to eat cheese right now. I don't have any cheese I know.
For you. I that's what that's the problem. The problem is I'm without cheese. How can we get you some cheese without spending a $100? Right.
For 12 different kinds of cheese. And I also I was looking for a unique advent calendar. And cheese, isn't it? No. It's not that.
Oh. I wanted something fun. Cheese isn't that fun. Cheese is amazing. Smoked Gouda, delicious.
Sharp cheddar, delicious. So far, you've named 2 bad cheeses. What about a spicy Gouda? Okay. I'll have that.
What about a mango habanero Gouda? Okay. What about a honey sriracha Gouda? Okay. They they like the Gouda cheese.
These are all because the Gouda is good. Stop it. What's your favorite kind of cheese? The kind that I'm currently eating. You're not eating any cheese.
No. I know. That's my favorite kind. Am I eating pepper jack? It's my favorite.
Oh, I see. Am I eating Muenster? That's my favorite. A slice of provolone that I snuck out of the little ziplock baggy? Yep.
That's my favorite. Have you done that before? Never. Not once. Cheese is okay.
There like, there are cheese. People, they get crazy about cheese. I'm not one of those people. Do I like cheese? Yes.
But it's never I'm never like cheese. I like cheese. That go crazy for cheese. I want one of those cool cheese melting things so I can scrape off that golden, crispy, delicious, hot, melty cheese. You did.
A couple of years ago, we did a we did a no dairy diet, and you had you said, okay. I'm fine. Yeah. I don't I'll give a milk. I'll have almond milk instead.
I don't care about milk. Can't give up my cheese. But I gotta have cheese. I had no problem giving up cheese. You had a terrible time giving up cheese.
I don't think you ever did. Did you give it up? No. You just had cheese. Yeah.
Why would I not have cheese? Come on, man. Okay. Maybe instead of the advent calendar, maybe I just need a cheese box. What's a cheese box?
Well, it's $240. Let's get the advent calendar. That's cheaper. But it's got less cheese than the cheese box. Yeah.
It's also more expensive. I can get cheese locally. Like, this is great. Oh, but this one also comes with a cheese board. Oh.
Yeah. Fancy. Oh, and it comes with some meat and mustards and different, honeys and Honeys and mustards. I can get behind that. But then they show this big old thing as just sweet stretched out, like, golden brown melty cheese sitting on a plate that they've cut into.
That I want real bad. That looks so good. I gotta quit looking at cheese. I Put it on your close the tab. Put it on your Christmas list.
Cheese. Maybe you'll find it under the tree on Christmas morning. Maybe. Maybe. So good.
That's gonna take up space on the counter. You're gonna hate having the cheese melter around. Well, just put it away when it's not in use. See what? Here's the air fryer that we use all the time that doesn't live on the counter because I don't have room on the counter.
That's why. It takes up a lot of space. So will the cheese melter? Yeah. You're right.
Because you're not gonna use it all the time. Unless I do. Constant melted cheese, my poor heart. Yeah. Your doctor would say, no, buddy.
Maybe don't do the cheese. Lay off the cheese. Yeah. Go on a cheese diet. Oh, what's that?
That sounds awful. I don't want a cheese diet unless I'm eating cheese, and that's my diet. That's a good diet. Let's go. Cheese.
Cheese. I just watched a video of a kid who had a loose tooth, and he had his pet parrot help him pull it out. No kidding. He grabbed the parrot, and I thought maybe I just read the thing before I watched the video, and it said that a kid used his pet parrot to help him pull out his loose tooth. And I thought maybe he tied a string to his tooth.
No. He just took the whole parrot and put him in his mouth. And the parrot just, like, grabbed it and yanked it out. No kidding. Yeah.
He didn't have to work very hard. I don't know. But there's lots of videos of parrots helping kids pull out their loose teeth. Interesting. I am so glad that our kids are past the teeth pulling out phase.
Yeah. I didn't enjoy that part of life. I don't like teeth. I think they're gross. So, yeah, I'm with you.
Glad I'm out of teeth phase. We I don't think we ever did we just let the teeth come out on their own. I don't think we ever had to assist because both of us hated it so much. There were times where we there were wiggly tooth for, like, 2 weeks, and it was like, is that tooth gonna ever come out? And a friend of ours was like, I got pliers.
I'll just do it. Let's just knock it out. Did that ever get taken up, that offer? No. Because I just sure?
Yeah. I'm positive. It they always just came out on their own. Because I feel like there was one time there was a tooth that had been a long time, and and somebody was finally, like, just pull the tooth. But I can't remember for sure.
I don't remember either. Because there was there were enough times where where our our friend in particular walking around with a Leatherman was like, I'll take care of it right now. You don't have to worry about that tooth wiggling anymore. I'll just pop that thing out. It out.
There are parents who not maybe they don't enjoy it, but they still do it. It's part of a parenting duty to pull those loose teeth, but you and I both were like, nope. I don't I don't wanna see it. Like, don't walk around pushing it around with your tongue. Go look.
I don't like teeth. Take them away. I don't mind teeth. I just don't like wiggly teeth. I don't mind wiggly teeth either.
Just looking at it. Not gonna pull it. Holding them in your hand, these bones? Ugh. Not into teeth.
We know. I'm gonna keep talking about it then. You always talk to me about the things that I don't like. Like what? Other people's Tupperware?
Yeah. And the McRib and all the gross things. The McRib's delicious. So are teeth. No.
They're not. I like to look at them. Ugh. I like to hold them in my hand. Gross.
I like to jiggle them around. I don't like mouths. What? I don't. It's gross.
You're such a weirdo. Take your mouth and go over there with it is what I'm saying. Glad. I am very, very glad that our kids are past that loose tooth stage. Yeah.
What do you mean? That loose tooth stage, good luck to you. That's a gross one to be in. Yeah. I don't like it.
I don't like it. Get a pet parrot. They'll help. Sure. Or our friend who has pliers.
Yeah. He he's willing to pull teeth at any time. He's like, I'll pull your teeth. I'm like, good for you. I'm not going near your mouth.
Everybody call Josh if you have loose teeth. No. I don't wanna know anything about it. Come to Josh for your loose teeth. Don't show them to me.
I don't wanna see your teeth Everybody. Or your mouth. Come show Josh. No. Make him run away.
He will. I'll just turn around. And run away. I'm not gonna lie. I'm not afraid.
I just think it's gross. Just turn around. I'm like, that was nice that you came to show me that. Have a great day. I'll be turning around now.
This is what I look like from the back, so enjoy. Would you rather this or that Christmas edition? Would you rather take a ride on the Polar Express or take a ride on Santa's sleigh? Oh, interesting. I feel like if I take a ride on the Polar Express, there's a good chance I'm going to, the North Pole, and I might just be able to convince somebody to give me a ride while I'm there.
I might be able to You might have to be able to double dip. But I gotta ride the Polar Express to get there, and that means I gotta deal with that train kid. I yeah. You are gonna have to deal with that train kid. What's that train kid?
What's he say? You know what kind of train this is? That's what he says. You're also gonna get some hot cocoa. Hot.
Hot. Hot. Hot chocolate. I feel like I would be having a funner time on the sleigh, but I feel like I'm gonna also have to take some Dramamine because I feel like I might get a little bit motion sick. That's a good point.
Very valid. Very demure. Thank you. But I think that would be a funner time, the sleigh ride. I can I can agree with that?
I think the the sleigh ride is in the air Uh-huh. And there's reindeer involved. Uh-huh. And the train is not. No.
No. It is not. No. But it also sounds really fun. Plus yeah.
Then you get to go see where everybody lives. That's what I'm saying. You get to go all over the world. I don't know. I'm taking sleigh.
Let's go, Sam. The train, and I'm gonna convince I'm gonna convince somebody to give me a ride around the North Pole in the sleigh. So I can get a little bit of a taste of it, but I'm I wanna ride that train. Okay. You can have both.
I'll let you have both this time just because it's Christmas. Thanks. You can pick both. I feel like I'm in a giving spirit. Oh, good.
