1
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:17,916
Really? Really?

2
01:00:18,208 --> 01:00:19,541
But, there's a big ol' butt-cump.

3
01:00:19,833 --> 01:00:21,000
I have a love-hate

4
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:22,625
relationship with the elf on the shelf.

5
01:00:23,083 --> 01:00:24,833
I mean, why are you offended by that?

6
01:00:25,041 --> 01:00:26,250
Because I've seen blue eyes and that's

7
01:00:26,250 --> 01:00:27,458
not the color of my eyes.

8
01:00:27,875 --> 01:00:29,666
I'd call him BS on that.

9
01:00:29,750 --> 01:00:31,000
Like, I do not like them

10
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:32,166
here. I do not like them here.

11
01:00:32,500 --> 01:00:33,791
I do not like them anywhere.

12
01:00:34,166 --> 01:00:35,458
We'll put that one on the shelf.

13
01:00:35,750 --> 01:00:36,000
Yeah.

14
01:00:37,791 --> 01:00:39,541
And how long did it take Tweedle Dee,

15
01:00:39,541 --> 01:00:41,041
Tweedle Dum, and Tweedle Dumber to do it?

16
01:00:41,333 --> 01:00:42,541
Oh my gosh.

17
01:00:42,541 --> 01:00:43,625
We've got 90 years of

18
01:00:43,625 --> 01:00:45,041
experience between the two of us.

19
01:00:45,041 --> 01:00:46,166
No, it's actually a little higher.

20
01:00:47,458 --> 01:00:48,875
It's like, it's actually closer to 100.

21
01:00:49,416 --> 01:00:50,916
Exterior illumination.

22
01:00:51,708 --> 01:00:53,041
For that moment in the 80s,

23
01:00:53,041 --> 01:00:54,250
some people didn't think so.

24
01:00:54,250 --> 01:00:55,291
They watch it on BoopTube.

25
01:00:55,750 --> 01:00:57,333
Bora Bora. Sexy Sexy Sexy

26
01:00:57,333 --> 01:00:57,875
Sexy Sexy Sexy Sexy Sexy.

27
01:00:57,875 --> 01:00:58,291
Ciao Ciao.

28
01:00:58,833 --> 01:00:59,500
See ya.

29
01:00:59,625 --> 01:01:01,000
Welcome to the Mr. and Mrs.

30
01:01:01,291 --> 01:01:02,500
English Podcast. I'm Megan.

31
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,791
And I'm Sean. We're here to talk about

32
01:01:04,791 --> 01:01:06,041
the wild ride of raising

33
01:01:06,041 --> 01:01:07,416
kids and growing careers,

34
01:01:07,750 --> 01:01:08,875
keeping life together in

35
01:01:08,875 --> 01:01:10,000
the middle of all the chaos.

36
01:01:10,708 --> 01:01:13,000
So buckle up because we're all in this

37
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:14,083
crazy journey together.

38
01:01:15,500 --> 01:01:16,625
I have a tickle in my throat.

39
01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:18,416
That was a classic start. We'll cut out

40
01:01:18,416 --> 01:01:19,625
the cough there, but it

41
01:01:19,625 --> 01:01:22,000
is the season for everybody

42
01:01:22,250 --> 01:01:23,375
in Dallas to be sick.

43
01:01:23,708 --> 01:01:24,666
No kidding.

44
01:01:25,958 --> 01:01:27,458
Over the last couple days,

45
01:01:27,458 --> 01:01:28,458
you're looking way better.

46
01:01:29,375 --> 01:01:31,000
Your eyes look a little brighter. You

47
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:32,166
don't look like you're

48
01:01:32,166 --> 01:01:35,250
just walking pneumonia.

49
01:01:35,250 --> 01:01:36,916
I don't know what else to say.

50
01:01:37,333 --> 01:01:38,375
I mean, whatever you've

51
01:01:38,375 --> 01:01:39,625
had has wiped you out.

52
01:01:40,458 --> 01:01:41,791
Yeah, it's taking energy, but I mean, I

53
01:01:41,791 --> 01:01:44,000
haven't felt really bad.

54
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:45,416
I just haven't had much energy.

55
01:01:45,583 --> 01:01:46,708
Other than that, one day, I

56
01:01:46,708 --> 01:01:49,000
had a kind of tough sinus day.

57
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:49,208
Yeah.

58
01:01:49,916 --> 01:01:50,666
Drainage and whatnot.

59
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:52,791
Yeah, the bloody nose.

60
01:01:52,791 --> 01:01:54,041
We're going to talk about drainage for

61
01:01:54,041 --> 01:01:55,291
the next 45 minutes.

62
01:01:55,291 --> 01:01:56,041
In fact, this is going to be

63
01:01:56,041 --> 01:01:57,916
an extended episode on Phlem.

64
01:01:59,458 --> 01:02:00,500
It's so gross.

65
01:02:01,041 --> 01:02:02,500
Well, the drainage issue

66
01:02:02,500 --> 01:02:05,083
wasn't phlem. It was blood.

67
01:02:06,458 --> 01:02:06,875
Oh, yeah.

68
01:02:07,250 --> 01:02:08,541
There's any doctors watching?

69
01:02:08,750 --> 01:02:09,958
I had a world record bloody nose.

70
01:02:10,333 --> 01:02:11,625
Yeah. Is your nose

71
01:02:11,625 --> 01:02:12,958
supposed to bleed for two hours?

72
01:02:13,583 --> 01:02:14,958
Just can we go out and

73
01:02:14,958 --> 01:02:16,125
be like, "No, it's not."

74
01:02:16,875 --> 01:02:18,208
I've never had. I heard you talking to

75
01:02:18,208 --> 01:02:20,416
your colleague on a call.

76
01:02:20,625 --> 01:02:21,875
You're like, "Oh, my husband's nose has

77
01:02:21,875 --> 01:02:22,375
been running for like

78
01:02:22,375 --> 01:02:22,916
an hour and a half."

79
01:02:23,791 --> 01:02:24,625
And you're like, "Well, he

80
01:02:24,625 --> 01:02:25,833
has a history of bloody nose."

81
01:02:25,833 --> 01:02:26,708
And like, "Do I really?"

82
01:02:26,750 --> 01:02:28,625
Well, no, it just doesn't bleed that

83
01:02:28,625 --> 01:02:30,833
long. But when it's dry or-

84
01:02:30,833 --> 01:02:32,333
If you go to Colorado, everybody gets in

85
01:02:32,333 --> 01:02:33,458
Colorado because it's just so dry.

86
01:02:34,083 --> 01:02:37,000
I have only had maybe one bloody nose

87
01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:37,666
where the blood actually

88
01:02:37,666 --> 01:02:39,250
drips out in my whole life.

89
01:02:39,250 --> 01:02:39,500
Oh, yeah.

90
01:02:39,958 --> 01:02:42,625
Yeah. You get them. So when that's my

91
01:02:42,625 --> 01:02:44,500
context, you know, you

92
01:02:44,500 --> 01:02:45,958
getting a bloody nose a couple

93
01:02:45,958 --> 01:02:46,916
times a year.

94
01:02:46,916 --> 01:02:47,083
Yeah.

95
01:02:47,500 --> 01:02:48,583
But this was excessive.

96
01:02:49,125 --> 01:02:49,791
Yeah, this was excessive.

97
01:02:50,291 --> 01:02:52,166
And I'm like, "I'm worried you're going

98
01:02:52,166 --> 01:02:54,208
to pass out. Like, you shouldn't be

99
01:02:54,208 --> 01:02:55,250
losing this much blood."

100
01:02:56,708 --> 01:02:59,125
It was one of those things. We didn't

101
01:02:59,125 --> 01:03:00,208
just dive right into that.

102
01:03:00,583 --> 01:03:02,458
It was one of those things where I was

103
01:03:02,458 --> 01:03:03,916
like, "Maybe I should be

104
01:03:03,916 --> 01:03:05,250
conscious of the fact that,

105
01:03:05,250 --> 01:03:07,083
you know, I'm not lightheaded right now

106
01:03:07,083 --> 01:03:08,416
just because there wasn't

107
01:03:08,416 --> 01:03:10,625
a lot of blood, but it just

108
01:03:10,625 --> 01:03:12,000
wasn't stopping." And it was gushing.

109
01:03:12,416 --> 01:03:12,958
It was gushing.

110
01:03:13,208 --> 01:03:14,458
So the second I would take something out

111
01:03:14,458 --> 01:03:14,958
of the nose, you would

112
01:03:14,958 --> 01:03:15,833
just be like, "Bruh."

113
01:03:16,916 --> 01:03:20,333
Yeah. And so it was a little unnerving.

114
01:03:21,000 --> 01:03:22,666
Yeah. That aside,

115
01:03:22,666 --> 01:03:23,916
everybody else is sickier too.

116
01:03:24,458 --> 01:03:25,333
Yeah, in fact-

117
01:03:25,333 --> 01:03:26,000
All the schools.

118
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,500
All the schools, yeah. I mean, a kid on

119
01:03:28,500 --> 01:03:29,500
the soccer team, like,

120
01:03:29,625 --> 01:03:30,791
you know, we can't carpool

121
01:03:30,791 --> 01:03:31,666
this week because she's like, "I don't

122
01:03:31,666 --> 01:03:32,500
want your kid around."

123
01:03:32,500 --> 01:03:33,500
You know, like, we should

124
01:03:33,500 --> 01:03:34,958
separate our kids. They're traveling this

125
01:03:34,958 --> 01:03:36,916
weekend. Totally get it.

126
01:03:36,916 --> 01:03:38,625
And our kids have been hacking this whole

127
01:03:38,625 --> 01:03:39,916
last two weeks too. Most

128
01:03:39,916 --> 01:03:40,875
of our kids are pretty sick,

129
01:03:40,875 --> 01:03:41,125
right?

130
01:03:41,125 --> 01:03:41,333
Yeah.

131
01:03:41,333 --> 01:03:43,291
That's not pretty sick, but they're

132
01:03:43,291 --> 01:03:44,041
fighting. Everybody's

133
01:03:44,041 --> 01:03:45,166
fighting something. It's not one

134
01:03:45,166 --> 01:03:46,166
of those ones where you're like, "I'm

135
01:03:46,166 --> 01:03:47,875
just so sick, but just

136
01:03:47,875 --> 01:03:49,166
fighting it." So it's just that fall

137
01:03:49,416 --> 01:03:49,583
junk.

138
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:50,250
It is.

139
01:03:50,250 --> 01:03:50,791
Nobody likes it.

140
01:03:50,791 --> 01:03:53,166
No, no. And it hit us. And it's hitting

141
01:03:53,166 --> 01:03:54,166
the schools really hard.

142
01:03:54,416 --> 01:03:55,500
Yeah. You kind of missed it though, a

143
01:03:55,500 --> 01:03:56,125
little bit. You had a

144
01:03:56,125 --> 01:03:57,500
day of it, maybe, of it.

145
01:03:58,000 --> 01:03:58,125
Yeah.

146
01:03:58,125 --> 01:03:58,500
Like on wood.

147
01:03:58,791 --> 01:03:59,541
You've been pretty healthy.

148
01:03:59,958 --> 01:04:00,250
Yeah.

149
01:04:00,625 --> 01:04:01,166
But it was hard.

150
01:04:03,750 --> 01:04:06,666
Yeah. Not many, I

151
01:04:06,666 --> 01:04:08,208
mean, generally speaking,

152
01:04:09,041 --> 01:04:10,750
common colds. Yeah. It's

153
01:04:10,750 --> 01:04:12,166
a joke. People love this.

154
01:04:13,375 --> 01:04:17,500
Common colds don't usually, like, get me

155
01:04:17,500 --> 01:04:18,708
down. Never really have.

156
01:04:19,125 --> 01:04:21,250
Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Well-

157
01:04:21,375 --> 01:04:23,000
I was a kid that got perfect attendance

158
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:26,250
most years in my, you know, kinder

159
01:04:26,250 --> 01:04:27,000
through ninth grade or

160
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:27,500
twelfth grade.

161
01:04:27,750 --> 01:04:28,750
Yeah. I never missed school for being

162
01:04:28,750 --> 01:04:30,666
sick, ever. I tried it maybe once or

163
01:04:30,666 --> 01:04:32,125
twice, and the parents

164
01:04:32,125 --> 01:04:33,000
were like, "You're going to school."

165
01:04:34,125 --> 01:04:35,458
They're soft now. If you

166
01:04:35,458 --> 01:04:36,208
let your kids stay home now,

167
01:04:36,208 --> 01:04:38,791
you're soft. Kids, I guess, minus the

168
01:04:38,791 --> 01:04:40,416
COVID years, when you kill someone.

169
01:04:40,833 --> 01:04:42,125
Yeah. Yeah, no. I think

170
01:04:42,125 --> 01:04:44,458
those are better safe than sorry.

171
01:04:45,625 --> 01:04:47,250
Yeah. But yeah.

172
01:04:47,791 --> 01:04:50,125
Tis the season though, as you said.

173
01:04:50,291 --> 01:04:52,458
Tis the season. And you know what else

174
01:04:52,458 --> 01:04:54,791
it's getting tis the season for?

175
01:04:55,125 --> 01:04:55,375
What?

176
01:04:56,750 --> 01:04:57,041
Holidays.

177
01:04:58,416 --> 01:04:59,125
Oh, that's the season

178
01:04:59,125 --> 01:04:59,791
I was talking about.

179
01:05:00,083 --> 01:05:01,208
Oh, I thought you were still talking

180
01:05:01,208 --> 01:05:02,541
about the cold flu season.

181
01:05:02,541 --> 01:05:04,083
But it's his the season for that, but

182
01:05:04,083 --> 01:05:05,583
that was my transition to tis

183
01:05:05,583 --> 01:05:07,125
the season for other things as

184
01:05:07,125 --> 01:05:10,000
well, which I just wanted to be- you just

185
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:11,625
made sure nobody missed it.

186
01:05:11,625 --> 01:05:12,916
There is no-

187
01:05:13,458 --> 01:05:14,708
Questioning is the holiday time.

188
01:05:15,041 --> 01:05:15,916
Yeah, it is.

189
01:05:15,916 --> 01:05:16,958
Most wonderful time of the year. We've

190
01:05:16,958 --> 01:05:18,041
said it before, but now

191
01:05:18,041 --> 01:05:20,000
we're almost at Thanksgiving now.

192
01:05:20,000 --> 01:05:21,666
One week out from the wind that's airs.

193
01:05:22,250 --> 01:05:24,458
Yes. Yes. Which is

194
01:05:24,458 --> 01:05:27,125
crazy how fast it got here.

195
01:05:27,416 --> 01:05:27,625
Yeah.

196
01:05:28,041 --> 01:05:29,750
And it's a late Thanksgiving this year.

197
01:05:30,166 --> 01:05:31,250
It is late, yeah.

198
01:05:31,625 --> 01:05:32,791
I just don't know where

199
01:05:32,791 --> 01:05:34,375
the past 11 months have gone.

200
01:05:34,375 --> 01:05:36,916
It's that whole thought about how time

201
01:05:36,916 --> 01:05:39,416
just passes quicker as you get older.

202
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:41,750
It was interesting though, our son

203
01:05:41,750 --> 01:05:42,958
brought home some science

204
01:05:42,958 --> 01:05:44,666
behind that, or maybe I read it.

205
01:05:45,041 --> 01:05:46,791
Yeah, one of our sons brought home some

206
01:05:46,791 --> 01:05:47,791
science. I'm trying to

207
01:05:47,791 --> 01:05:48,458
remember which one now.

208
01:05:48,500 --> 01:05:50,750
I think maybe I read it and he read it at

209
01:05:50,750 --> 01:05:52,208
the same time and it was similar things.

210
01:05:52,958 --> 01:05:59,125
But the theory behind it is that time is

211
01:05:59,125 --> 01:06:01,041
going faster now because

212
01:06:01,041 --> 01:06:02,291
our brains aren't learning as

213
01:06:02,291 --> 01:06:04,500
much. So the thought is when you're

214
01:06:04,500 --> 01:06:06,000
younger, you're experiencing

215
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,375
so many new things. That's why

216
01:06:07,500 --> 01:06:10,208
sights are new. Sounds are new. Smells

217
01:06:10,208 --> 01:06:11,291
are new. Like smells are

218
01:06:11,291 --> 01:06:13,375
what most, you know, I remember.

219
01:06:13,750 --> 01:06:15,583
That takes me back to being a kid. I can

220
01:06:15,583 --> 01:06:17,583
smell the grass, fresh cut

221
01:06:17,583 --> 01:06:20,375
grass, wet dirt, things of a

222
01:06:20,375 --> 01:06:22,666
kid, the smell of water coming out of a

223
01:06:22,666 --> 01:06:25,250
hose. It's back when I could smell. I

224
01:06:25,250 --> 01:06:25,791
can't smell anything

225
01:06:25,833 --> 01:06:27,833
now. But that's just one of those senses

226
01:06:27,833 --> 01:06:29,500
that your brain's

227
01:06:29,500 --> 01:06:32,208
learning the world and these new

228
01:06:32,208 --> 01:06:33,875
experiences, new experiences. And because

229
01:06:33,875 --> 01:06:35,583
of that, time is stretched

230
01:06:35,583 --> 01:06:36,708
because you're putting all these

231
01:06:36,708 --> 01:06:38,583
time stamps on learning this and learning

232
01:06:38,583 --> 01:06:40,125
this and learning that. And

233
01:06:40,125 --> 01:06:41,750
as you get older, the brain's

234
01:06:41,958 --> 01:06:44,666
not learning as much. Right. And so

235
01:06:44,666 --> 01:06:45,833
you're not putting all those

236
01:06:45,833 --> 01:06:47,250
time stamps. Now I'm definitely

237
01:06:47,291 --> 01:06:49,000
paraphrasing this. You might need to go

238
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:49,791
back and read the actual

239
01:06:49,791 --> 01:06:51,375
article because there could be a

240
01:06:51,375 --> 01:06:54,875
chance I'm warping it. No, you're

241
01:06:54,875 --> 01:06:56,333
explaining it exactly how I

242
01:06:56,333 --> 01:06:57,916
understood it. And ironically,

243
01:06:57,916 --> 01:06:59,541
how like our 11 year old was explaining

244
01:06:59,541 --> 01:07:01,666
it to us. Okay. So

245
01:07:01,666 --> 01:07:03,291
probably ironically, exactly how I

246
01:07:03,291 --> 01:07:04,250
explained it to him and then he explained

247
01:07:04,250 --> 01:07:05,375
it back. But that's okay.

248
01:07:06,166 --> 01:07:07,333
Well, he used it as like,

249
01:07:08,333 --> 01:07:12,250
Hey, hey, mom. So when you're younger, a

250
01:07:12,250 --> 01:07:14,000
lot of the way time slows

251
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:14,791
down is because you have really

252
01:07:14,791 --> 01:07:16,541
big moments is how he explained it. And

253
01:07:16,541 --> 01:07:18,000
he's like, so we should probably go to

254
01:07:18,000 --> 01:07:19,541
more water parks and

255
01:07:20,708 --> 01:07:22,750
six flags and take more vacations. Your

256
01:07:22,750 --> 01:07:23,500
experiences though,

257
01:07:23,500 --> 01:07:24,666
it's experiences that your

258
01:07:24,958 --> 01:07:28,000
brain is just mapping out how this world

259
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,291
is, how this world works.

260
01:07:30,041 --> 01:07:30,791
And I think that's one of the

261
01:07:30,833 --> 01:07:32,166
reasons like when we go on vacation now

262
01:07:32,166 --> 01:07:35,000
too, I like to go to new

263
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:36,500
places. It's like why I like

264
01:07:36,500 --> 01:07:38,458
to watch new movies. You know what I

265
01:07:38,458 --> 01:07:41,375
mean? I like to map new things that I

266
01:07:41,375 --> 01:07:42,333
don't already know that

267
01:07:42,333 --> 01:07:45,458
my brain's not already experienced, you

268
01:07:45,458 --> 01:07:46,791
know, and that's something even in our

269
01:07:46,791 --> 01:07:47,291
house, we're talking

270
01:07:47,291 --> 01:07:49,500
about like next year's vacation. Oh yeah.

271
01:07:49,958 --> 01:07:50,666
Do we go back to somewhere

272
01:07:50,666 --> 01:07:52,000
that was already awesome?

273
01:07:52,708 --> 01:07:54,333
Or do we try to find somewhere new that's

274
01:07:54,333 --> 01:07:55,458
just might be just as

275
01:07:55,458 --> 01:07:56,666
awesome? Who knows? Right,

276
01:07:56,916 --> 01:07:58,708
right. We're kind of on the fence on that

277
01:07:58,708 --> 01:08:00,958
one too. Like I like to go

278
01:08:00,958 --> 01:08:02,500
to new places too. Sorry,

279
01:08:02,958 --> 01:08:04,833
cut back after both of us have a bit of a

280
01:08:04,833 --> 01:08:07,708
coughing fit. Um, okay,

281
01:08:08,583 --> 01:08:09,625
we've talked to this a few times.

282
01:08:09,625 --> 01:08:11,583
Or as our daughter would say, really?

283
01:08:12,291 --> 01:08:13,958
Really? That's our new thing right now.

284
01:08:14,291 --> 01:08:16,291
Really? It's hilarious.

285
01:08:16,750 --> 01:08:20,333
So funny. Just to be least expected. She

286
01:08:20,333 --> 01:08:22,375
also goes who, who?

287
01:08:23,000 --> 01:08:25,083
Yeah. Asked. And you're like,

288
01:08:25,208 --> 01:08:28,833
oh, yeah, sported again. That's right.

289
01:08:28,833 --> 01:08:31,000
Anyway, you like new experiences too. I

290
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,208
like new experiences too.

291
01:08:32,708 --> 01:08:34,291
There's a big old butt coming. No,

292
01:08:34,291 --> 01:08:36,166
there's times though when it's like, not

293
01:08:36,166 --> 01:08:37,208
so much for vacations.

294
01:08:37,916 --> 01:08:40,208
Um, I'm usually game for whatever, you

295
01:08:40,208 --> 01:08:42,000
know, like, how is it going to fit into

296
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:42,750
the schedule? How is

297
01:08:42,750 --> 01:08:44,166
it going to fit into the budget? How, you

298
01:08:44,166 --> 01:08:46,833
know, yeah, obviously. Um,

299
01:08:47,875 --> 01:08:48,708
but you bring up a good point

300
01:08:48,708 --> 01:08:50,166
because we were talking about like shows

301
01:08:50,166 --> 01:08:52,041
and movies and stuff. And

302
01:08:52,041 --> 01:08:53,083
there are times when I'm

303
01:08:53,125 --> 01:08:55,666
like, absolutely, I want something new.

304
01:08:55,875 --> 01:08:56,500
Like, I don't want to watch

305
01:08:56,500 --> 01:08:57,583
something we've already seen,

306
01:08:58,208 --> 01:09:00,916
but there are times when I'm like, no, I

307
01:09:00,916 --> 01:09:01,875
think I just kind of want

308
01:09:01,875 --> 01:09:04,041
to rewatch something else,

309
01:09:04,041 --> 01:09:05,625
you know, that we've seen before. There

310
01:09:05,625 --> 01:09:07,500
really is like a difference

311
01:09:07,500 --> 01:09:11,458
in my, I don't know if it's

312
01:09:11,583 --> 01:09:14,833
mood or mental state or whatever. Um, and

313
01:09:14,833 --> 01:09:15,541
there's actually studies

314
01:09:15,541 --> 01:09:17,375
that show that watching things

315
01:09:18,166 --> 01:09:21,458
multiple times lowers anxiety levels. And

316
01:09:21,458 --> 01:09:22,708
so I don't know if

317
01:09:22,708 --> 01:09:24,958
that has to do with like,

318
01:09:24,958 --> 01:09:26,416
it has everything to do with it for you.

319
01:09:26,666 --> 01:09:27,666
I'm kind of stressed right

320
01:09:27,666 --> 01:09:29,083
now. So I'd really like to just

321
01:09:29,083 --> 01:09:31,375
watch Ted Lasso. It's a feel good show. I

322
01:09:31,375 --> 01:09:31,958
know it's going to

323
01:09:31,958 --> 01:09:34,875
happen, you know. Yeah. I there,

324
01:09:35,291 --> 01:09:38,541
I see the logic behind that. It is

325
01:09:38,541 --> 01:09:41,208
interesting though. I just, if I'm not

326
01:09:41,208 --> 01:09:41,833
going to, if I'm not

327
01:09:41,875 --> 01:09:43,375
going to watch something new, I'd rather

328
01:09:43,375 --> 01:09:46,541
watch something that's not new, new

329
01:09:46,541 --> 01:09:48,000
sports, for instance,

330
01:09:48,416 --> 01:09:50,000
like I can watch sports and not pay

331
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:51,750
attention to it. Me too. You know what I

332
01:09:51,750 --> 01:09:53,541
mean? But I don't want

333
01:09:53,541 --> 01:09:58,666
to, I don't really want to watch. Like, I

334
01:09:58,666 --> 01:09:59,875
just, I don't know. I would never be

335
01:09:59,875 --> 01:10:00,416
like, you know what,

336
01:10:00,416 --> 01:10:03,791
I've seen Ted Lasso in the last two or

337
01:10:03,791 --> 01:10:04,666
three years. I want to

338
01:10:04,666 --> 01:10:06,375
watch it again. Now, I might

339
01:10:06,375 --> 01:10:08,958
watch the Seinfeld or Sopranos or

340
01:10:08,958 --> 01:10:09,541
something that we haven't

341
01:10:09,541 --> 01:10:11,166
seen in a long time. Yeah.

342
01:10:11,416 --> 01:10:12,708
Might rewatch that. Game of Thrones we're

343
01:10:12,708 --> 01:10:13,791
talking about. Yeah.

344
01:10:13,916 --> 01:10:15,250
Might rewatch that because

345
01:10:15,291 --> 01:10:17,166
it's kind of lost. I've kind of lost

346
01:10:17,166 --> 01:10:19,916
those. Yeah. I don't know

347
01:10:19,916 --> 01:10:21,375
it verbatim anymore. Yeah.

348
01:10:21,375 --> 01:10:22,458
Verbatim is not the right word. Right,

349
01:10:22,458 --> 01:10:23,583
right. It's not as fresh in

350
01:10:23,583 --> 01:10:25,166
your mind. Anyway, either way,

351
01:10:25,166 --> 01:10:27,375
either way. Yeah. So we're just trying to

352
01:10:27,375 --> 01:10:28,083
figure that kind of stuff

353
01:10:28,083 --> 01:10:29,416
out right now, I guess. But,

354
01:10:30,500 --> 01:10:34,000
tis the season and remembering things,

355
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:34,916
right? Like, I mean, the

356
01:10:34,916 --> 01:10:36,416
holidays were super special times

357
01:10:37,041 --> 01:10:39,916
as kids. Yeah. And now all of our

358
01:10:39,916 --> 01:10:41,291
children know the whole

359
01:10:41,291 --> 01:10:44,458
Santa thing, you know. And so,

360
01:10:45,291 --> 01:10:47,083
you know, as you go all the way back to

361
01:10:47,083 --> 01:10:47,958
Thanksgiving, you

362
01:10:47,958 --> 01:10:48,458
know, that's kind of what

363
01:10:48,458 --> 01:10:50,541
starts that whole season. Yeah. Right.

364
01:10:50,541 --> 01:10:51,583
It's just a special season,

365
01:10:51,583 --> 01:10:54,625
but it still stays so special.

366
01:10:55,208 --> 01:10:57,000
But I feel like as a parent, you almost

367
01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:58,416
have to work for that a

368
01:10:58,416 --> 01:11:00,375
little bit more, right? A little

369
01:11:00,375 --> 01:11:02,416
bit. Keep it special for the kids and for

370
01:11:02,416 --> 01:11:03,041
yourself. And for

371
01:11:03,041 --> 01:11:04,875
yourself. Yeah. I think so.

372
01:11:05,833 --> 01:11:07,833
The one benefit, though, is that there is

373
01:11:07,833 --> 01:11:12,583
less, like, stress. When,

374
01:11:14,083 --> 01:11:16,791
when, you know, the curtain has been

375
01:11:16,791 --> 01:11:18,166
pulled back and children

376
01:11:18,166 --> 01:11:21,041
know. Oh, yeah. The big one,

377
01:11:21,500 --> 01:11:23,458
kind of. It doesn't, it does stress me a

378
01:11:23,458 --> 01:11:24,000
little bit, I guess, but

379
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:24,875
not as I said. The big one,

380
01:11:24,875 --> 01:11:26,375
though, is the Elf on the Shelf. The Elf

381
01:11:26,375 --> 01:11:29,083
on the Shelf. I have a love-hate

382
01:11:29,083 --> 01:11:30,000
relationship with the

383
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,416
Elf on the Shelf. Great idea. Whoever did

384
01:11:32,416 --> 01:11:34,208
it, like, so cute, so

385
01:11:34,208 --> 01:11:36,416
creative. It is so flipping

386
01:11:36,541 --> 01:11:38,875
over the top nowadays. Yeah. And it was

387
01:11:38,875 --> 01:11:40,000
so stressful. And I'd

388
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:40,708
wake up in the middle of the

389
01:11:40,708 --> 01:11:42,791
night and be like, "Oh, we forgot to move

390
01:11:42,791 --> 01:11:44,458
Elfie!" Yeah. Yeah.

391
01:11:44,541 --> 01:11:45,625
Because we go on a ski trip right

392
01:11:45,625 --> 01:11:47,083
before Christmas every time, and Elfie

393
01:11:47,083 --> 01:11:48,291
would magically be there.

394
01:11:48,291 --> 01:11:49,291
So we always had to sneak

395
01:11:49,291 --> 01:11:51,416
them out of the house. We lost an Elfie

396
01:11:51,416 --> 01:11:53,083
one time. That was, there

397
01:11:53,083 --> 01:11:54,625
was a midnight run to Walmart,

398
01:11:54,708 --> 01:11:58,875
I know you made one time. And the only, I

399
01:11:58,875 --> 01:12:00,375
got the last. And it was

400
01:12:00,375 --> 01:12:01,875
because I was looking online,

401
01:12:02,041 --> 01:12:03,666
I'm like, "Where in the store are they?"

402
01:12:03,666 --> 01:12:06,958
And I'm like, "In cap C-17.

403
01:12:07,708 --> 01:12:09,458
You've got to get to C-17."

404
01:12:09,583 --> 01:12:11,750
Yeah. It says there's one, whatever it

405
01:12:11,750 --> 01:12:13,125
was. And you got there and it

406
01:12:13,125 --> 01:12:14,041
was there. And it was there.

407
01:12:14,458 --> 01:12:15,791
It was the only one left. Because you

408
01:12:15,791 --> 01:12:17,000
were in the Christmas area and there's

409
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:17,625
none in the Christmas

410
01:12:17,625 --> 01:12:19,375
area. No. I looked in toys, I looked in

411
01:12:19,375 --> 01:12:20,875
Christmas, I looked, I looked

412
01:12:20,875 --> 01:12:22,291
everywhere, which I'm not going

413
01:12:22,333 --> 01:12:23,958
to go in. I mean, we could have a whole

414
01:12:23,958 --> 01:12:25,000
I'm Pieved episode on

415
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:26,208
how I feel about Walmart.

416
01:12:28,041 --> 01:12:31,500
I do not like Walmart. I do not like the,

417
01:12:31,875 --> 01:12:33,000
I could do a whole like

418
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,166
cat in the hat, or not cat,

419
01:12:34,416 --> 01:12:36,375
but like a green eggs and ham. I do not

420
01:12:36,375 --> 01:12:37,541
like them here. I do not like

421
01:12:37,541 --> 01:12:39,125
them there. I do not like them

422
01:12:39,125 --> 01:12:43,000
anywhere. Anyway, so I finally find that

423
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:46,000
end cap. And they are all

424
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,333
Hispanic Elf on the Shelf.

425
01:12:49,583 --> 01:12:53,250
And I was like, our, our previous Elf on

426
01:12:53,250 --> 01:12:53,750
the Shelf. Oh, because

427
01:12:53,750 --> 01:12:54,500
that'd be the same one.

428
01:12:54,958 --> 01:12:55,750
It had to be the same one. I couldn't

429
01:12:55,750 --> 01:12:56,541
have got the tan. I

430
01:12:56,541 --> 01:12:58,708
needed, I needed a blue hide.

431
01:12:59,333 --> 01:13:01,166
Or we just had to be like, just got back

432
01:13:01,166 --> 01:13:03,708
from Cancun overnight. Oh

433
01:13:03,708 --> 01:13:05,750
my gosh. But the sun doesn't

434
01:13:05,750 --> 01:13:07,708
change the color of your eyes. It's like

435
01:13:07,708 --> 01:13:10,166
I need a blue hide Elf on

436
01:13:10,166 --> 01:13:11,500
the Shelf. And that police

437
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:17,708
Navi Dodds on Brero. I know. I have to

438
01:13:17,708 --> 01:13:19,458
get the same one. Yeah. I

439
01:13:19,458 --> 01:13:22,416
literally got the last one

440
01:13:22,875 --> 01:13:26,708
that matched our previous. The peach. The

441
01:13:26,708 --> 01:13:28,500
peach blue eyed Elfie. That

442
01:13:28,500 --> 01:13:29,625
because we're all blue eyed

443
01:13:29,625 --> 01:13:32,375
in this family. Yeah. You claim your

444
01:13:32,375 --> 01:13:35,125
green eyed. I am. You are. It's, they're

445
01:13:35,125 --> 01:13:37,000
so blue. They're so not.

446
01:13:37,500 --> 01:13:38,750
I'm going to stand next to some of the

447
01:13:38,750 --> 01:13:40,375
blue eyes and then you'll see my eyes.

448
01:13:40,375 --> 01:13:41,416
Does my mom have blue

449
01:13:41,541 --> 01:13:43,541
eyes or green eyes? Okay. Let's stand

450
01:13:43,541 --> 01:13:45,291
next to her and we'll see who's more

451
01:13:45,291 --> 01:13:45,791
blue. There's a million

452
01:13:45,791 --> 01:13:48,458
different colors like within there. Yeah.

453
01:13:48,458 --> 01:13:49,416
You know how I always joke

454
01:13:49,416 --> 01:13:51,000
that I have greenish blue

455
01:13:51,291 --> 01:13:54,833
brown eyes. Yeah. It's very similar that

456
01:13:54,833 --> 01:13:55,625
you think you have green

457
01:13:55,625 --> 01:13:57,666
as blue eyes. It was like,

458
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:01,333
you're more blue. I mean, why are you

459
01:14:01,333 --> 01:14:04,583
offended by that? So because I've seen

460
01:14:04,583 --> 01:14:05,291
blue eyes and that's

461
01:14:05,291 --> 01:14:08,041
not the color of my eyes because you can

462
01:14:08,041 --> 01:14:08,791
also have brown green

463
01:14:08,791 --> 01:14:10,500
eyes. So like our daughter has

464
01:14:11,208 --> 01:14:14,125
green eyes, but they're very like not at

465
01:14:14,125 --> 01:14:17,625
all the same color as mine or like

466
01:14:17,625 --> 01:14:18,500
they're on the brown

467
01:14:18,500 --> 01:14:20,125
spectrum, but you can also have like your

468
01:14:20,125 --> 01:14:21,541
moms, which are very like

469
01:14:21,541 --> 01:14:24,000
aqua colored. You know, there's

470
01:14:24,000 --> 01:14:27,541
a lot of different colors in there. All

471
01:14:27,541 --> 01:14:28,458
right. We'll put that one on

472
01:14:28,458 --> 01:14:30,208
the shelf. Yeah. For the time.

473
01:14:33,208 --> 01:14:35,916
Put my eyes on the shelf. Yeah, that's

474
01:14:35,916 --> 01:14:38,541
right. But Thanksgiving

475
01:14:38,541 --> 01:14:40,125
Thanksgiving is always that opening

476
01:14:40,250 --> 01:14:43,375
door to the real holidays. You know, I

477
01:14:43,375 --> 01:14:45,958
mean, um, I guess even before

478
01:14:45,958 --> 01:14:47,166
Thanksgiving, right? Like

479
01:14:47,166 --> 01:14:49,750
people got to put up decoration. Now did

480
01:14:49,750 --> 01:14:51,458
your family decorate for

481
01:14:51,458 --> 01:14:54,333
fall? Yes, my mom did. You

482
01:14:54,333 --> 01:14:55,750
decorate. Oh, there were pumpkins.

483
01:14:55,750 --> 01:14:58,166
There's gourds. There's yeah. Yeah.

484
01:14:58,541 --> 01:15:00,625
Colored leaves and um,

485
01:15:01,750 --> 01:15:04,291
you know, the colored, we called it

486
01:15:04,291 --> 01:15:06,125
Indian corn. I don't know if. Oh yeah.

487
01:15:06,125 --> 01:15:06,958
Indian corn. Yeah. And

488
01:15:06,958 --> 01:15:08,125
it was like the really pretty. It's

489
01:15:08,125 --> 01:15:09,041
probably not PC anymore. It's probably

490
01:15:09,041 --> 01:15:10,916
not, but Native American

491
01:15:10,958 --> 01:15:13,041
corn. Yeah. And it's a really pretty

492
01:15:13,041 --> 01:15:14,625
colorful ones. Yeah. So my

493
01:15:14,625 --> 01:15:15,416
mom did that. And then there

494
01:15:15,416 --> 01:15:17,333
was no decorating for Christmas until

495
01:15:17,333 --> 01:15:19,666
after Thanksgiving, which

496
01:15:19,666 --> 01:15:21,458
is a fair rule. It's a fair

497
01:15:21,458 --> 01:15:24,041
rule. Although now I feel like over the

498
01:15:24,041 --> 01:15:25,375
last couple of years, just due to

499
01:15:25,375 --> 01:15:26,125
schedules and stuff,

500
01:15:26,125 --> 01:15:28,625
there have been times when maybe last

501
01:15:28,625 --> 01:15:29,625
year was the first year when

502
01:15:29,625 --> 01:15:30,583
some of the Christmas stuff

503
01:15:30,583 --> 01:15:32,875
came out before Thanksgiving. We did

504
01:15:32,875 --> 01:15:34,500
because of the schedule. We had to do

505
01:15:34,500 --> 01:15:35,666
some of it. We're like,

506
01:15:35,708 --> 01:15:38,541
this is sweet. It's already done. Yeah.

507
01:15:39,166 --> 01:15:42,041
It felt amazing. You

508
01:15:42,041 --> 01:15:42,708
should talk to our oldest,

509
01:15:42,708 --> 01:15:44,000
see if you can get started on that this

510
01:15:44,000 --> 01:15:45,666
weekend when we're gone.

511
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:46,916
Oh, there is no way he's going

512
01:15:46,916 --> 01:15:48,958
to let us pull out the Christmas stuff

513
01:15:48,958 --> 01:15:50,083
without him here. They love

514
01:15:50,083 --> 01:15:51,500
it. They love it. Oh yeah.

515
01:15:51,791 --> 01:15:53,666
We'd like Christmas music in the house.

516
01:15:53,666 --> 01:15:54,625
We're drinking eggnog. It

517
01:15:54,625 --> 01:15:56,375
was so yeah. Yeah. It is fun.

518
01:15:56,541 --> 01:15:57,833
When, when you have time to do it and

519
01:15:57,833 --> 01:15:59,708
everybody's ready in the mood and I guess

520
01:15:59,708 --> 01:16:00,833
not fighting. I mean,

521
01:16:01,250 --> 01:16:02,666
we always laugh. Our kids getting

522
01:16:02,666 --> 01:16:03,458
together and those things,

523
01:16:03,458 --> 01:16:04,416
it's like the three stages.

524
01:16:05,958 --> 01:16:09,250
Yes. How long did it, so we did get the

525
01:16:09,250 --> 01:16:10,416
outside decorated this

526
01:16:10,416 --> 01:16:11,750
over the last two weekends.

527
01:16:12,083 --> 01:16:13,708
We got all the lights up on the house and

528
01:16:13,708 --> 01:16:15,125
the lawn and the trees. Yes.

529
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:17,500
And you and our youngest did,

530
01:16:17,500 --> 01:16:19,166
I think six trees. Yeah. He had to go

531
01:16:19,166 --> 01:16:20,291
pick up. You had to go pick up the other

532
01:16:20,291 --> 01:16:22,750
two. Yeah. And that took

533
01:16:22,750 --> 01:16:24,458
you like, I don't know, 20, 25 minutes.

534
01:16:24,458 --> 01:16:26,375
Maybe it wasn't much. You

535
01:16:26,375 --> 01:16:27,708
had to get meat that so you get

536
01:16:27,708 --> 01:16:30,041
25 minutes, maybe. And we're like, that's

537
01:16:30,041 --> 01:16:30,791
fine. We'll get started on

538
01:16:30,791 --> 01:16:32,708
the trees. So the youngest

539
01:16:32,750 --> 01:16:36,000
and I did one, two, three, four, five,

540
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:40,375
six, seven trees out front lights, all

541
01:16:40,375 --> 01:16:41,041
the spiraled all the

542
01:16:41,041 --> 01:16:42,583
way up. And it doesn't sound that hard.

543
01:16:42,583 --> 01:16:44,416
It wasn't that hard. And so the other

544
01:16:44,416 --> 01:16:45,083
ones came back and I

545
01:16:45,083 --> 01:16:46,916
think they were surprised that we had one

546
01:16:46,916 --> 01:16:47,833
left. There's only one

547
01:16:47,833 --> 01:16:51,916
tree left to do. And all three

548
01:16:51,916 --> 01:16:53,083
kids were like, we're going to do it.

549
01:16:53,083 --> 01:16:55,041
We'll do it. And how long did it take

550
01:16:55,041 --> 01:16:56,208
Tweedledee, Tweedledum,

551
01:16:56,208 --> 01:16:58,583
and Tweedledumber to do it? Oh my gosh,

552
01:16:58,583 --> 01:17:00,291
an hour. Yeah. It took us

553
01:17:00,291 --> 01:17:01,500
25 minutes to do seven and it

554
01:17:01,500 --> 01:17:04,375
took them like an hour to three stooges

555
01:17:04,375 --> 01:17:06,750
their way. It? Yeah. I mean,

556
01:17:07,708 --> 01:17:08,708
you and I were on to totally

557
01:17:08,708 --> 01:17:10,125
different things and you're like, are

558
01:17:10,125 --> 01:17:12,166
they still doing it? Like, uh-huh,

559
01:17:12,500 --> 01:17:13,625
they're not done yet. Like,

560
01:17:13,625 --> 01:17:18,166
they're still up on a ladder. Insanity.

561
01:17:18,708 --> 01:17:19,500
Yeah. So hopefully other kids

562
01:17:19,500 --> 01:17:20,291
are like that too. But I was

563
01:17:20,291 --> 01:17:23,166
like, wow. Yeah. I was like, this is what

564
01:17:23,166 --> 01:17:24,458
you get when you empower

565
01:17:24,458 --> 01:17:25,958
your kids to do something. Like,

566
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,791
it won't be done as fast as you can do

567
01:17:27,791 --> 01:17:29,666
it. For sure. Yeah. I like

568
01:17:29,666 --> 01:17:30,541
how you say that. Say it that

569
01:17:30,625 --> 01:17:32,166
way. We empowered them to do something

570
01:17:32,166 --> 01:17:34,000
and they're learning how to negotiation

571
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:34,875
skills and leadership

572
01:17:34,958 --> 01:17:38,541
skills and ladder skills and ladder

573
01:17:38,541 --> 01:17:41,958
skills. I don't know. It was, yeah. And

574
01:17:41,958 --> 01:17:42,625
then we did another,

575
01:17:42,625 --> 01:17:44,791
what, four or five? Yeah, four or five in

576
01:17:44,791 --> 01:17:45,750
the backyard. Again, in

577
01:17:45,750 --> 01:17:48,541
like 20 minutes. Yeah. Yeah.

578
01:17:49,708 --> 01:17:51,500
Anyway, which included picking out which

579
01:17:51,500 --> 01:17:52,333
trees we were going to do

580
01:17:52,333 --> 01:17:53,625
it on. Yeah. But we've got 90

581
01:17:53,625 --> 01:17:55,041
years of experience between the two of

582
01:17:55,041 --> 01:17:57,958
us. It's true. We've been, we've been

583
01:17:57,958 --> 01:17:58,541
wrapping trees. That's

584
01:17:58,541 --> 01:17:59,791
the first time I've ever put those two

585
01:17:59,791 --> 01:18:01,250
numbers together. That's not

586
01:18:01,250 --> 01:18:02,458
the exact number either, but

587
01:18:02,875 --> 01:18:05,458
no, it's actually a little higher. It's

588
01:18:05,458 --> 01:18:06,208
like, it's actually closer

589
01:18:06,208 --> 01:18:07,416
to a hundred. Did you guys

590
01:18:08,083 --> 01:18:09,791
put up Christmas lights before

591
01:18:09,791 --> 01:18:10,583
Thanksgiving though?

592
01:18:10,583 --> 01:18:11,750
Because it's so cold in Minnesota.

593
01:18:12,625 --> 01:18:15,708
No, you did that after. Yeah. So is that

594
01:18:15,708 --> 01:18:16,958
like Christmas vacation where he's

595
01:18:16,958 --> 01:18:18,041
outside in the cold,

596
01:18:18,083 --> 01:18:20,875
like freezing? Just my dad. Yeah. Just my

597
01:18:20,875 --> 01:18:22,541
dad. Yeah. I don't think we ever helped.

598
01:18:22,583 --> 01:18:26,666
I also. Did you have quite the sprawling

599
01:18:26,666 --> 01:18:28,250
or is it pretty the basic

600
01:18:28,250 --> 01:18:30,250
gutters and gutters? Like,

601
01:18:30,916 --> 01:18:36,541
I don't even recall my family putting up

602
01:18:36,541 --> 01:18:41,000
exterior illumination. Like

603
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,000
for most of my childhood years.

604
01:18:43,291 --> 01:18:45,166
Exterior illumination. So most years you

605
01:18:45,166 --> 01:18:45,958
didn't even have that up.

606
01:18:46,458 --> 01:18:48,375
I, I, I'm going to have to go

607
01:18:48,416 --> 01:18:50,750
back to my, my family and ask. I don't

608
01:18:50,750 --> 01:18:52,166
remember. I, I thought I

609
01:18:52,166 --> 01:18:54,125
remember I was in like junior high

610
01:18:54,166 --> 01:18:56,208
when they started putting lights on the

611
01:18:56,208 --> 01:19:00,708
outside. I thought I might have that

612
01:19:00,708 --> 01:19:02,166
wrong. And then I, I

613
01:19:02,666 --> 01:19:04,125
feel bad. Like that is not something our

614
01:19:04,125 --> 01:19:05,375
kids would forget. They

615
01:19:05,375 --> 01:19:06,708
love the outdoor lights. They

616
01:19:06,708 --> 01:19:08,791
love it. I do too. Yeah. And we do, we do

617
01:19:08,791 --> 01:19:09,625
a pretty good job on them.

618
01:19:09,625 --> 01:19:10,333
It's not over the top, but I

619
01:19:10,333 --> 01:19:11,958
think it's pretty good. I think we do a

620
01:19:11,958 --> 01:19:13,041
great job. How about, how

621
01:19:13,041 --> 01:19:14,333
about you? Did you guys put it up

622
01:19:14,416 --> 01:19:18,541
after or before? Man, we did. I helped my

623
01:19:18,541 --> 01:19:20,250
later years. I don't think we did

624
01:19:20,250 --> 01:19:22,166
anything crazy. Okay.

625
01:19:22,250 --> 01:19:24,333
Gutters, maybe some windows. I don't

626
01:19:24,333 --> 01:19:25,458
remember if the windows were on the

627
01:19:25,458 --> 01:19:26,625
outside or the inside.

628
01:19:27,125 --> 01:19:28,916
Yeah. Really just the front gutters kind

629
01:19:28,916 --> 01:19:32,416
of is all I can recall. But on Christmas

630
01:19:32,416 --> 01:19:33,958
Eve, we put out those,

631
01:19:35,666 --> 01:19:37,583
those, what are those? Lanterns.

632
01:19:37,583 --> 01:19:39,958
Luminary. Luminary. Yeah. Luminary. Yeah.

633
01:19:40,750 --> 01:19:42,291
We put those out and that

634
01:19:42,416 --> 01:19:44,166
was something, it was the real ones too.

635
01:19:44,166 --> 01:19:45,583
So it was a paper bag with

636
01:19:45,583 --> 01:19:47,583
sand in it and a candle in it.

637
01:19:47,958 --> 01:19:49,166
And we put that out and then we go to

638
01:19:49,166 --> 01:19:50,166
church and we go to

639
01:19:50,166 --> 01:19:52,375
Ellie's house for that New Year,

640
01:19:52,500 --> 01:19:54,750
that Christmas Eve party, which we can

641
01:19:54,750 --> 01:19:57,833
get into on another podcast. But that was

642
01:19:57,833 --> 01:19:58,708
always very special,

643
01:19:58,958 --> 01:20:00,208
but we didn't get into that until

644
01:20:00,208 --> 01:20:03,416
November. So you guys, the only thing I

645
01:20:03,416 --> 01:20:04,375
remember in my house,

646
01:20:04,416 --> 01:20:07,583
maybe, is we put out some like fall

647
01:20:07,583 --> 01:20:12,125
placemats. Yeah. We definitely had the

648
01:20:12,125 --> 01:20:13,166
Day of American Corn.

649
01:20:14,208 --> 01:20:16,583
Obviously. We might have had like one

650
01:20:16,583 --> 01:20:19,708
little, you know, we might have had a

651
01:20:19,708 --> 01:20:20,958
couple little things

652
01:20:21,208 --> 01:20:23,541
that were, I don't remember a lot of

653
01:20:23,541 --> 01:20:25,125
decorations, but I know we had some. I

654
01:20:25,125 --> 01:20:26,083
remember a lot though.

655
01:20:26,500 --> 01:20:28,083
Yeah. For Christmas, we definitely pulled

656
01:20:28,083 --> 01:20:30,166
out, but not for fall

657
01:20:30,166 --> 01:20:30,583
and for Thanksgiving,

658
01:20:30,875 --> 01:20:33,375
there wasn't much. Yeah. We had, oh my

659
01:20:33,375 --> 01:20:34,333
goodness. And my mom put

660
01:20:34,333 --> 01:20:35,458
these, I don't know if it was on

661
01:20:35,666 --> 01:20:37,625
like some of the windows. She would tape

662
01:20:37,625 --> 01:20:40,000
them up in, you know,

663
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:41,000
kindergarten or whatever. We made

664
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,416
these pilgrims out of construction paper,

665
01:20:43,416 --> 01:20:45,250
whatever. And I think those came out

666
01:20:45,250 --> 01:20:46,791
every year. Your mom

667
01:20:46,791 --> 01:20:49,750
does do that. She incorporates your

668
01:20:49,750 --> 01:20:52,291
things that the kids made at

669
01:20:52,291 --> 01:20:54,666
school. Oh yeah. Like holiday

670
01:20:54,666 --> 01:20:55,916
decoration. She incorporates that and

671
01:20:55,916 --> 01:20:58,041
pulls it out every year. Uh-huh. Which,

672
01:20:58,833 --> 01:20:59,875
okay. Have we talked

673
01:20:59,958 --> 01:21:02,625
about the Mary and Joseph and Jesus? Oh,

674
01:21:02,625 --> 01:21:04,208
now, yes. We shouldn't talk

675
01:21:04,208 --> 01:21:05,375
about them on this episode,

676
01:21:05,375 --> 01:21:08,625
on this podcast. I think we need to post

677
01:21:08,625 --> 01:21:11,291
a picture of these. Just

678
01:21:11,291 --> 01:21:12,000
talking about that when we get to

679
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,250
the Christmas. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

680
01:21:14,416 --> 01:21:17,833
They're, they're definitely, you know, I

681
01:21:17,833 --> 01:21:18,208
wouldn't say they're

682
01:21:18,208 --> 01:21:19,750
number one in my book, but maybe number

683
01:21:19,750 --> 01:21:21,833
two. Like they have to go on America's

684
01:21:21,833 --> 01:21:22,416
Funniest Home Videos

685
01:21:22,500 --> 01:21:24,500
somewhere. Like you did not get my

686
01:21:24,500 --> 01:21:25,625
reference at all, but

687
01:21:25,625 --> 01:21:29,666
okay. I got it. Wow.

688
01:21:29,666 --> 01:21:31,416
I'm gonna leave this back in my head now.

689
01:21:31,416 --> 01:21:33,791
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They're probably number

690
01:21:33,791 --> 01:21:34,958
two in my book as well.

691
01:21:35,500 --> 01:21:39,916
Yeah. Not number one, but probably

692
01:21:39,916 --> 01:21:44,333
solidly at number two. So traditions,

693
01:21:44,791 --> 01:21:46,333
Thanksgiving traditions.

694
01:21:48,541 --> 01:21:52,291
We, so we always had everyone at our

695
01:21:52,291 --> 01:21:53,500
house. Thanksgiving was

696
01:21:53,500 --> 01:21:56,000
the Thanksgiving at our house

697
01:21:56,000 --> 01:21:57,750
growing up. And so, and it was like a

698
01:21:57,750 --> 01:21:58,833
come one, come all. If you

699
01:21:58,833 --> 01:21:59,791
don't have a place to go.

700
01:21:59,916 --> 01:22:01,416
You know, that was a couple of cousin's,

701
01:22:01,416 --> 01:22:03,458
just friends. That was friends. We didn't

702
01:22:03,458 --> 01:22:04,500
usually have aunts and uncles.

703
01:22:05,041 --> 01:22:06,125
Well, we had the honorary aunts and

704
01:22:06,125 --> 01:22:07,541
uncles, right? The ones that you call,

705
01:22:07,750 --> 01:22:09,208
like, you know. So this

706
01:22:09,208 --> 01:22:10,750
was not a family one though. There's just

707
01:22:10,750 --> 01:22:12,583
locals, basically. Yeah.

708
01:22:12,583 --> 01:22:13,708
Locals and my grandparents. My

709
01:22:13,708 --> 01:22:15,333
grandparents were always with us. Okay.

710
01:22:16,041 --> 01:22:18,791
Um, yeah. And. Which is still how it was

711
01:22:18,791 --> 01:22:19,750
till this day. Which

712
01:22:19,750 --> 01:22:21,916
is, yeah, exactly. It's still that way.

713
01:22:22,166 --> 01:22:23,375
That, that group is still getting

714
01:22:23,375 --> 01:22:24,416
together every Thanksgiving.

715
01:22:24,875 --> 01:22:27,708
Um, but that was always ours. And it was,

716
01:22:27,958 --> 01:22:29,791
I remember some years, oh, and then we'd

717
01:22:29,791 --> 01:22:30,500
have people come over.

718
01:22:30,875 --> 01:22:32,416
Whoa. Whoa. It's all coming back to me.

719
01:22:32,958 --> 01:22:35,000
Um, so we, we kind of

720
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:35,791
have the same core group,

721
01:22:35,791 --> 01:22:37,541
usually for dinner. And again, every now

722
01:22:37,541 --> 01:22:38,291
and again, you'd get a

723
01:22:38,291 --> 01:22:40,333
family who couldn't travel

724
01:22:40,333 --> 01:22:41,708
because of snow or whatever. And they

725
01:22:41,708 --> 01:22:43,583
were always, always welcome.

726
01:22:44,166 --> 01:22:45,250
But then we always had dessert.

727
01:22:45,375 --> 01:22:47,083
And so then we get a bigger group. So my

728
01:22:47,083 --> 01:22:49,458
mom's cousins came for

729
01:22:49,458 --> 01:22:50,458
dessert and they, and we would

730
01:22:50,500 --> 01:22:52,375
play trivial pursuit. And that was always

731
01:22:52,375 --> 01:22:54,291
so fun. Like I remember all

732
01:22:54,291 --> 01:22:55,458
the adults, I was too young to

733
01:22:55,458 --> 01:22:58,416
play, play it, but, um, Oh my gosh, that

734
01:22:58,416 --> 01:22:59,291
was so much fun. I just

735
01:22:59,291 --> 01:23:00,583
remember like sitting in the room

736
01:23:00,583 --> 01:23:02,333
with everyone and laughing, eating,

737
01:23:02,708 --> 01:23:04,500
drinking coffee and eating

738
01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:07,083
pie and stuff. Yeah. It was fun.

739
01:23:07,500 --> 01:23:10,333
Yeah. I think life, life back then was

740
01:23:10,333 --> 01:23:11,750
easier to simple things

741
01:23:11,750 --> 01:23:12,833
like that. Simple pleasures,

742
01:23:12,833 --> 01:23:13,708
right? I mean, that was very similar to

743
01:23:13,708 --> 01:23:14,458
what we did. We would go

744
01:23:14,458 --> 01:23:15,333
to my grandparents house,

745
01:23:15,375 --> 01:23:18,916
most things, things I think, um, Colorado

746
01:23:18,916 --> 01:23:20,375
Springs and they're all

747
01:23:20,375 --> 01:23:21,958
the, all the family would come

748
01:23:21,958 --> 01:23:23,333
there primarily. And that was a big

749
01:23:23,333 --> 01:23:24,666
group. That's, you know, 30 people

750
01:23:24,666 --> 01:23:27,000
probably. So it was a big group.

751
01:23:27,666 --> 01:23:30,041
Uh, you know, we'd be there all day. We'd

752
01:23:30,041 --> 01:23:31,875
have the Turkey. We'd have all the pies

753
01:23:31,875 --> 01:23:32,791
that everybody made,

754
01:23:33,333 --> 01:23:34,916
but yeah, very similar to you every at

755
01:23:34,916 --> 01:23:36,875
night. We just, we would play, they'd

756
01:23:36,875 --> 01:23:37,750
watch the boys would

757
01:23:37,750 --> 01:23:39,208
have the football game minder. Obviously

758
01:23:39,208 --> 01:23:40,500
that was on all day. Yeah.

759
01:23:40,500 --> 01:23:41,958
But when it got later, I mean,

760
01:23:42,333 --> 01:23:43,666
these would be like all night, not all

761
01:23:43,666 --> 01:23:45,750
nighters, but very late because the

762
01:23:45,750 --> 01:23:46,583
adults would say I'm

763
01:23:46,583 --> 01:23:48,208
playing games, board games all night

764
01:23:48,208 --> 01:23:49,916
long. It was a big marble, this huge

765
01:23:49,916 --> 01:23:50,875
board. That was like just

766
01:23:50,875 --> 01:23:54,166
marbles all over the place. Yeah. What

767
01:23:54,166 --> 01:23:55,625
that was, what that game was.

768
01:23:55,875 --> 01:23:57,083
Yeah. They might play 10,000

769
01:23:57,083 --> 01:23:58,250
or something like that, but it was always

770
01:23:58,250 --> 01:24:00,458
that one where everybody would sit

771
01:24:00,458 --> 01:24:01,333
around. They had all

772
01:24:01,333 --> 01:24:02,458
the, you know, I could just remember my

773
01:24:02,458 --> 01:24:04,375
grandpa just, you know,

774
01:24:04,375 --> 01:24:06,291
just roaring on that, you know,

775
01:24:06,625 --> 01:24:09,833
swearing people are cheating. He did not

776
01:24:09,833 --> 01:24:11,208
like to lose. Yeah. Pop of

777
01:24:11,208 --> 01:24:13,500
the pastor. Yeah. He did not

778
01:24:13,500 --> 01:24:14,666
like to lose, but it was similar because,

779
01:24:14,666 --> 01:24:15,375
you know, it's not like

780
01:24:15,375 --> 01:24:18,291
there was, you know, 5,000 TV

781
01:24:18,416 --> 01:24:20,000
channels to watch whatever movie you

782
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:20,791
wanted to. There weren't

783
01:24:20,791 --> 01:24:22,625
even VHS is almost, you know,

784
01:24:22,958 --> 01:24:25,291
for some of that time. Yeah. So it was

785
01:24:25,291 --> 01:24:26,375
just spending time with

786
01:24:26,375 --> 01:24:27,958
family. Nobody had a cell phone.

787
01:24:27,958 --> 01:24:29,958
It was, you know, those are kind of more

788
01:24:29,958 --> 01:24:32,000
simple days for that. And

789
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,250
that was fun, but that was really

790
01:24:33,541 --> 01:24:35,875
same thing though. Turkey and stuffing.

791
01:24:36,458 --> 01:24:38,375
Yeah. And deviled eggs with

792
01:24:38,375 --> 01:24:40,291
pickles in it though. That is,

793
01:24:40,541 --> 01:24:42,833
that is definitely a night tradition. At

794
01:24:42,833 --> 01:24:43,541
least you guys had deviled

795
01:24:43,541 --> 01:24:45,416
eggs. No, we didn't. You guys

796
01:24:45,416 --> 01:24:47,083
never had deviled eggs either. So I

797
01:24:47,083 --> 01:24:48,500
introduced your family, not only. Oh, no,

798
01:24:48,500 --> 01:24:49,166
no, no. We had deviled

799
01:24:49,166 --> 01:24:52,208
eggs just not on Thanksgiving. Oh, well,

800
01:24:52,208 --> 01:24:53,333
yeah. I mean, deviled eggs

801
01:24:53,333 --> 01:24:56,583
are any big holiday dish for

802
01:24:56,958 --> 01:24:59,125
me growing up. I know you guys aren't

803
01:24:59,125 --> 01:25:00,666
that way, I guess. Yeah. No,

804
01:25:00,666 --> 01:25:01,750
no, no. We had deviled eggs.

805
01:25:01,791 --> 01:25:03,208
Like my mom would make deviled eggs. She

806
01:25:03,208 --> 01:25:04,083
makes them now at

807
01:25:04,083 --> 01:25:05,708
Thanksgiving. Yeah, because of you.

808
01:25:06,625 --> 01:25:08,250
Well, because you made them, I think.

809
01:25:08,250 --> 01:25:10,000
Like, oh. Yeah, no, she

810
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:11,291
started doing it because I was like,

811
01:25:12,500 --> 01:25:14,750
Sean, part of his tradition was always to

812
01:25:14,750 --> 01:25:15,541
have deviled eggs with

813
01:25:15,541 --> 01:25:17,125
pickles. And so she always got,

814
01:25:17,125 --> 01:25:18,833
you know, extra eggs. And so I made

815
01:25:18,833 --> 01:25:20,500
deviled eggs then when we would be there.

816
01:25:20,750 --> 01:25:21,625
So yeah. And then my

817
01:25:21,625 --> 01:25:23,250
pickled deviled eggs disappeared before

818
01:25:23,250 --> 01:25:24,791
the other ones. Sometimes.

819
01:25:26,083 --> 01:25:27,583
Put that one on the shelf too.

820
01:25:27,666 --> 01:25:31,291
Yeah. No. Yeah, we never had deviled eggs

821
01:25:31,291 --> 01:25:34,125
at Thanksgiving. That was more of like,

822
01:25:34,125 --> 01:25:36,666
definitely at like Easter time. That was

823
01:25:36,666 --> 01:25:37,791
part of the meal because

824
01:25:37,791 --> 01:25:39,708
any big holiday meal we'd pull

825
01:25:39,708 --> 01:25:42,416
them out. Yeah. I wonder if that's more

826
01:25:42,416 --> 01:25:43,791
of a Southern thing. No

827
01:25:43,791 --> 01:25:44,833
idea. It could be. I don't know.

828
01:25:45,416 --> 01:25:48,375
I have no idea. Just because it wasn't

829
01:25:48,375 --> 01:25:49,791
part of mine doesn't mean that it was.

830
01:25:50,125 --> 01:25:53,916
Could be. I feel like deviled eggs. For

831
01:25:53,916 --> 01:25:54,708
one of those, they'd

832
01:25:54,708 --> 01:25:56,125
make okra, fried okra.

833
01:25:56,666 --> 01:25:57,916
That's definitely Southern. That's

834
01:25:57,916 --> 01:25:58,750
definitely Southern. That's something

835
01:25:58,750 --> 01:25:59,708
else I introduced you to.

836
01:25:59,708 --> 01:26:01,541
Yeah, I had never had fried okra. Yeah.

837
01:26:01,958 --> 01:26:04,791
So good. Yeah, I had never

838
01:26:04,791 --> 01:26:06,541
had that. But I bet you've never

839
01:26:06,541 --> 01:26:08,416
had lefse. You know, so like I do think

840
01:26:08,416 --> 01:26:09,166
there are some like more

841
01:26:09,166 --> 01:26:11,541
regional things. Lefse? Yeah.

842
01:26:12,166 --> 01:26:15,041
Never heard of it. For like in Minnesota,

843
01:26:15,041 --> 01:26:16,291
it's a really big thing.

844
01:26:16,583 --> 01:26:17,666
So is pickle herring, but

845
01:26:18,416 --> 01:26:20,250
why would we talk about that? Lefse is

846
01:26:20,250 --> 01:26:21,583
delicious. Think of it like a

847
01:26:21,583 --> 01:26:22,625
crepe and you put butter and

848
01:26:22,625 --> 01:26:24,375
cinnamon and sugar on it. It's delicious.

849
01:26:24,833 --> 01:26:25,500
Oh, I've had those.

850
01:26:25,500 --> 01:26:26,166
It's not called a lefse.

851
01:26:27,458 --> 01:26:31,458
It's called butter and cinnamon crepe. Or

852
01:26:31,458 --> 01:26:32,333
a crepe with butter and

853
01:26:32,333 --> 01:26:34,375
cinnamon. Really a crepe

854
01:26:34,375 --> 01:26:35,458
with cinnamon because all crepes get

855
01:26:35,458 --> 01:26:39,041
butter. Yeah. Yeah. So we'll call it a

856
01:26:39,041 --> 01:26:40,875
lefse. It's a little

857
01:26:40,875 --> 01:26:43,125
different, but okay, it's totally. I

858
01:26:43,125 --> 01:26:44,625
don't know how to make it like because

859
01:26:44,625 --> 01:26:45,291
I'm not Scandinavian,

860
01:26:45,583 --> 01:26:48,041
but grew up in a Scandinavian area. Like

861
01:26:48,041 --> 01:26:52,250
I was not, um, you know, that was not a

862
01:26:52,583 --> 01:26:55,000
dish that was passed down. Oh, krumkaka

863
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:56,208
like was another one

864
01:26:56,208 --> 01:26:57,458
up there. Sounds good.

865
01:26:57,833 --> 01:27:00,875
It was really good. Think of like funnel

866
01:27:00,875 --> 01:27:02,041
cake, only a little bit

867
01:27:02,041 --> 01:27:03,500
smaller and crispier. Yeah.

868
01:27:03,750 --> 01:27:06,875
Really good. Yeah. Yeah. It was really

869
01:27:06,875 --> 01:27:07,958
good. I'm like, yeah,

870
01:27:07,958 --> 01:27:08,791
there are a couple really good

871
01:27:08,791 --> 01:27:11,666
Scandinavian things. Yeah. So now did you

872
01:27:11,666 --> 01:27:12,791
guys, since you were so up

873
01:27:12,791 --> 01:27:13,416
north, did you guys cheer

874
01:27:13,458 --> 01:27:15,250
for the lions then? Were you guys cowboy

875
01:27:15,250 --> 01:27:16,583
fans? Cause usually it was

876
01:27:16,583 --> 01:27:17,708
just the lions and the cowboys

877
01:27:17,708 --> 01:27:19,208
I would play. Yeah, they would usually.

878
01:27:19,708 --> 01:27:21,666
Yeah. Cause we probably

879
01:27:21,666 --> 01:27:24,041
more the lions, but no, I mean,

880
01:27:24,791 --> 01:27:27,000
I never really rooted against the

881
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,250
cowboys. Yeah. America's team. It's

882
01:27:29,250 --> 01:27:30,125
America's team. We never

883
01:27:30,125 --> 01:27:31,583
really rooted against them cause they

884
01:27:31,583 --> 01:27:32,291
don't usually play each

885
01:27:32,291 --> 01:27:33,000
other. They usually played

886
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,250
other teams, right? You had the, you have

887
01:27:34,250 --> 01:27:34,958
the lions game and then

888
01:27:34,958 --> 01:27:35,708
you have the cowboy's game,

889
01:27:35,708 --> 01:27:38,083
right? Correct. Yeah. Yeah. I didn't mean

890
01:27:38,083 --> 01:27:39,416
it that way. I said it that

891
01:27:39,416 --> 01:27:40,958
way though. Yeah. Oh, but I

892
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,791
mean we'd watch both. Yeah. Right. I

893
01:27:43,791 --> 01:27:44,666
probably usually watched

894
01:27:44,666 --> 01:27:46,500
more of the cowboys game.

895
01:27:46,500 --> 01:27:47,958
Cause that usually came after the lions

896
01:27:47,958 --> 01:27:49,000
game and I was usually

897
01:27:49,000 --> 01:27:51,166
helping cook. Gotcha. During the

898
01:27:51,166 --> 01:27:53,250
lions. Gotcha. Gotcha. My whole family's

899
01:27:53,250 --> 01:27:55,291
obviously from Texas. That one

900
01:27:55,291 --> 01:27:56,916
like does. Okay. Was the meal

901
01:27:56,916 --> 01:28:00,333
planned around the cowboys game? Uh, no,

902
01:28:00,333 --> 01:28:03,041
I think, I mean they had an open, they

903
01:28:03,041 --> 01:28:04,041
built that house. So

904
01:28:04,041 --> 01:28:06,541
my grandparents built that house. Gosh, I

905
01:28:06,541 --> 01:28:07,458
don't remember when, when

906
01:28:07,458 --> 01:28:09,000
I was pretty young, it was,

907
01:28:09,041 --> 01:28:10,875
it felt like a huge house to me then

908
01:28:10,875 --> 01:28:13,083
probably is a big house. Um,

909
01:28:13,416 --> 01:28:14,875
but it had an open floor plan,

910
01:28:15,458 --> 01:28:17,666
right? Early, early. So I mean, when I

911
01:28:17,666 --> 01:28:21,500
was like eight, nine years old, maybe

912
01:28:21,500 --> 01:28:22,625
they built that house

913
01:28:23,458 --> 01:28:24,916
and they had an open floor plan. You had

914
01:28:24,916 --> 01:28:25,875
never been in that house.

915
01:28:25,875 --> 01:28:27,458
Oh, that's too bad. That was a

916
01:28:27,458 --> 01:28:30,500
special house. It was cool house. Um, but

917
01:28:30,500 --> 01:28:31,333
everybody was in there.

918
01:28:31,333 --> 01:28:32,208
So I mean, like, you know,

919
01:28:32,875 --> 01:28:34,416
it was, it was open floor plan. Like I

920
01:28:34,416 --> 01:28:36,583
said, it was kitchen, dining,

921
01:28:37,041 --> 01:28:38,708
and then family room for the

922
01:28:38,708 --> 01:28:40,333
most part. And so everybody just got to

923
01:28:40,333 --> 01:28:42,000
hang. So they didn't have to

924
01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:42,791
plan around anything because

925
01:28:42,791 --> 01:28:44,166
everybody was there. It wasn't like a

926
01:28:44,166 --> 01:28:46,083
galley. Yeah. You would find a lot of

927
01:28:46,083 --> 01:28:47,625
houses during that time.

928
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:50,375
Yep. Oh, that's fun. Like the house I

929
01:28:50,375 --> 01:28:53,333
grew up in. TV was on a whole nother

930
01:28:53,333 --> 01:28:54,958
level. Right. Actually.

931
01:28:55,333 --> 01:28:57,000
Yeah. Down the stairs around the corner.

932
01:28:57,000 --> 01:28:59,583
So good luck. Yeah. Have fun

933
01:28:59,583 --> 01:29:00,708
cooking. We had that little

934
01:29:00,708 --> 01:29:03,625
TV then. Yeah. A little foot by foot.

935
01:29:03,958 --> 01:29:04,791
Yeah. Oh yeah. We had a

936
01:29:04,791 --> 01:29:06,000
little ones. Some people would

937
01:29:06,000 --> 01:29:07,541
start mounting those underneath the

938
01:29:07,541 --> 01:29:09,083
cabinets. Real little ones.

939
01:29:09,083 --> 01:29:10,166
Real little ones. We had a real

940
01:29:10,166 --> 01:29:11,916
little one. Like a five inch screen.

941
01:29:11,916 --> 01:29:15,250
Yeah. It was so tiny. Was it black and

942
01:29:15,250 --> 01:29:16,708
white? Yeah. Was it color?

943
01:29:17,333 --> 01:29:18,375
I don't think it was color. I don't think

944
01:29:18,375 --> 01:29:20,666
it was color. I don't think so. It's

945
01:29:20,666 --> 01:29:22,291
funny. I don't know.

946
01:29:22,583 --> 01:29:24,041
Like it took up so much space, but yeah,

947
01:29:24,041 --> 01:29:25,666
your screen was like that

948
01:29:25,666 --> 01:29:27,666
big. Yeah. Yeah. It was huge.

949
01:29:27,916 --> 01:29:29,208
The rest of it was huge. It was like a

950
01:29:29,208 --> 01:29:30,958
BCR. Yeah. It was a little screen.

951
01:29:32,458 --> 01:29:36,041
Oh my gosh. Yeah. But no. Because we

952
01:29:36,041 --> 01:29:37,958
didn't have our kitchen was separated

953
01:29:37,958 --> 01:29:39,375
from where everyone was

954
01:29:39,375 --> 01:29:41,416
watching TV. Yeah. Now you can't. You

955
01:29:41,416 --> 01:29:42,416
could still hear everyone.

956
01:29:42,625 --> 01:29:43,875
It was. But yeah, you weren't

957
01:29:43,875 --> 01:29:45,583
watching it. Yeah. No. I just remember

958
01:29:45,583 --> 01:29:48,041
all the aunts and uncles and

959
01:29:48,041 --> 01:29:50,791
you know, my mom and everybody

960
01:29:50,791 --> 01:29:53,291
just having a fun time. I don't remember

961
01:29:53,291 --> 01:29:54,500
any like fights or

962
01:29:54,500 --> 01:29:55,333
anything like that. You know,

963
01:29:55,375 --> 01:29:56,958
and the nice ones we go out and play lawn

964
01:29:56,958 --> 01:29:57,750
darts because that was

965
01:29:57,750 --> 01:30:00,208
still legal. I mean, you know,

966
01:30:00,208 --> 01:30:01,583
it was great. And the kids is huge

967
01:30:01,583 --> 01:30:03,083
upstairs where the pool table was

968
01:30:03,083 --> 01:30:04,500
downstairs with a full basement

969
01:30:04,500 --> 01:30:05,958
that we just get her. We just, you know,

970
01:30:05,958 --> 01:30:07,333
mess around. And I mean, kids

971
01:30:07,333 --> 01:30:08,583
just had full run there too.

972
01:30:08,791 --> 01:30:10,625
Like they never, I don't, I'm sure

973
01:30:10,625 --> 01:30:12,041
grandma yelled at us.

974
01:30:12,291 --> 01:30:14,041
I'm sure she did, you know,

975
01:30:14,041 --> 01:30:15,916
but there's an intercom system in it too.

976
01:30:16,125 --> 01:30:17,416
So it was always y'all

977
01:30:17,416 --> 01:30:19,708
come down now, you know,

978
01:30:20,250 --> 01:30:22,958
y'all come and get it. Go and get it.

979
01:30:25,375 --> 01:30:26,916
I always remember waking up to her

980
01:30:26,916 --> 01:30:28,458
whenever we'd spend the night there,

981
01:30:28,541 --> 01:30:30,166
I'd be in the basement and she'd be on

982
01:30:30,166 --> 01:30:31,875
the intercom, you know,

983
01:30:31,875 --> 01:30:32,625
because we'd make that little

984
01:30:36,083 --> 01:30:37,000
y'all breakfast is

985
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:39,625
ready. You come and get it.

986
01:30:39,625 --> 01:30:43,625
Just smell the eggs and bacon. Oh yeah.

987
01:30:43,875 --> 01:30:45,500
Yeah. Of course it was eggs

988
01:30:45,500 --> 01:30:46,833
and bacon too. But I remember

989
01:30:46,833 --> 01:30:48,208
those are always fun times with the

990
01:30:48,208 --> 01:30:50,500
cousins like, you know, messing around

991
01:30:50,500 --> 01:30:51,916
and whatnot. Oh yeah.

992
01:30:51,958 --> 01:30:54,333
Yeah. Well, I think the key may have

993
01:30:54,333 --> 01:30:56,333
been, cause our kids love this about

994
01:30:56,333 --> 01:30:57,583
going to my parents for

995
01:30:57,583 --> 01:30:59,583
Thanksgiving. Cause I'd say probably what

996
01:30:59,583 --> 01:31:01,791
at least 50% of the thanksgivings that

997
01:31:01,791 --> 01:31:02,625
we've had since we've

998
01:31:02,625 --> 01:31:04,166
had kids have been with my parents. Yeah.

999
01:31:04,958 --> 01:31:06,000
Like they love the

1000
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:06,958
basement. They don't have those

1001
01:31:06,958 --> 01:31:10,875
here in Texas and the basement like is

1002
01:31:10,875 --> 01:31:12,791
key to childhood fun.

1003
01:31:12,791 --> 01:31:14,666
Yeah. And it's a room like it's

1004
01:31:14,666 --> 01:31:16,916
multiple rooms where like anything goes.

1005
01:31:16,916 --> 01:31:18,083
It is. It was at my house.

1006
01:31:18,083 --> 01:31:19,250
It was at your house. Yeah.

1007
01:31:19,500 --> 01:31:21,833
You can be tossing balls. You're playing

1008
01:31:21,833 --> 01:31:23,208
hockey down there. I mean

1009
01:31:23,208 --> 01:31:26,875
like, yeah. And also I will say

1010
01:31:26,958 --> 01:31:30,083
as my parents are now grandparents, they

1011
01:31:30,083 --> 01:31:33,333
have way, way more leniency

1012
01:31:33,333 --> 01:31:35,041
on grandkids than they ever

1013
01:31:35,041 --> 01:31:37,000
did us. Like how many things have our

1014
01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:38,916
kids broken in like the main playroom

1015
01:31:38,916 --> 01:31:39,625
down there? Is there

1016
01:31:39,625 --> 01:31:42,500
like throwing balls and whatever? Pretty

1017
01:31:42,500 --> 01:31:43,416
sure there's been maps

1018
01:31:43,416 --> 01:31:44,916
broken. There's been glass

1019
01:31:44,916 --> 01:31:46,000
shattered. I don't know that our kids

1020
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:46,750
have broken anything, but I

1021
01:31:46,750 --> 01:31:47,750
know things have been broken.

1022
01:31:47,791 --> 01:31:50,250
Things have been broken. So it's a

1023
01:31:50,250 --> 01:31:51,458
culmination of cousin

1024
01:31:51,458 --> 01:31:52,333
playfulness. I'm not going to point

1025
01:31:52,333 --> 01:31:54,333
your fingers to that one kid that's

1026
01:31:54,333 --> 01:31:56,541
breaking everything. It's cousin

1027
01:31:56,541 --> 01:31:58,083
playfulness that have

1028
01:31:58,083 --> 01:31:59,541
resulted in multiple things. Pretty sure

1029
01:31:59,541 --> 01:32:01,708
it's not ours. Cause

1030
01:32:01,708 --> 01:32:02,916
ours have ratted them out.

1031
01:32:05,375 --> 01:32:10,458
To us. To us. But yeah, if we had done

1032
01:32:10,458 --> 01:32:11,583
that, like, I mean, if

1033
01:32:11,583 --> 01:32:12,541
we were breaking stuff,

1034
01:32:12,875 --> 01:32:14,000
we would have been in trouble. You get

1035
01:32:14,000 --> 01:32:16,583
this, my grandma had upstairs in that

1036
01:32:16,583 --> 01:32:17,083
pool table. Actually

1037
01:32:17,125 --> 01:32:18,541
that used to be our pool table that we

1038
01:32:18,541 --> 01:32:20,083
have when I was in my very, the first

1039
01:32:20,083 --> 01:32:21,041
house I remember being

1040
01:32:21,041 --> 01:32:23,791
in three years old, like five. We had a

1041
01:32:23,791 --> 01:32:26,958
pool table there. We moved to Arizona.

1042
01:32:27,833 --> 01:32:28,250
Couldn't take it. It

1043
01:32:28,250 --> 01:32:30,333
was too big. It was like, I mean, this

1044
01:32:30,333 --> 01:32:31,125
was like when they made

1045
01:32:31,125 --> 01:32:33,125
furniture real. We've got a pool

1046
01:32:33,125 --> 01:32:35,500
table here. And if you put that, yeah, if

1047
01:32:35,500 --> 01:32:36,625
you had one, you put that

1048
01:32:36,625 --> 01:32:37,541
on our pool table and it just

1049
01:32:37,541 --> 01:32:39,416
like crushed it with smoke coming out. Oh

1050
01:32:39,416 --> 01:32:41,000
yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It was

1051
01:32:41,000 --> 01:32:42,958
nice. The slate, cause it was

1052
01:32:42,958 --> 01:32:45,875
made of like slate. I think I don't know

1053
01:32:45,875 --> 01:32:46,625
about that, but it was just

1054
01:32:46,625 --> 01:32:49,291
heavy wood, heavy, heavy wood.

1055
01:32:49,833 --> 01:32:51,333
Like none of this fake stuff, none of

1056
01:32:51,333 --> 01:32:53,291
this like glued stuff. It was like, it

1057
01:32:53,291 --> 01:32:54,166
was made out of like

1058
01:32:54,250 --> 01:32:56,208
a single redwood tree. You know what I

1059
01:32:56,208 --> 01:32:57,833
mean? It was huge. Anyways,

1060
01:32:57,833 --> 01:32:59,416
it was so big. We gave it to

1061
01:32:59,416 --> 01:33:01,583
our grandparents. That was upstairs in

1062
01:33:01,583 --> 01:33:03,250
their game room upstairs,

1063
01:33:03,250 --> 01:33:04,875
but up in that game room,

1064
01:33:04,875 --> 01:33:06,291
where there's a piano out there, the

1065
01:33:06,291 --> 01:33:07,166
piano that we had, the black

1066
01:33:07,166 --> 01:33:08,125
one for a long time was up in

1067
01:33:08,166 --> 01:33:10,041
that room too. But right next to the

1068
01:33:10,041 --> 01:33:12,916
piano on that wall, I don't know if

1069
01:33:12,916 --> 01:33:14,000
anybody remembers this,

1070
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:17,416
I definitely do, was a workout exercise

1071
01:33:17,416 --> 01:33:22,833
equipment. And it was the shaker. So you

1072
01:33:22,833 --> 01:33:24,125
stood on this thing.

1073
01:33:25,333 --> 01:33:28,083
You put the belt around you, right? It's

1074
01:33:28,083 --> 01:33:29,208
this belt that's like six

1075
01:33:29,208 --> 01:33:31,125
inches thick. It goes all

1076
01:33:31,125 --> 01:33:32,958
the way around. You kind of lean back

1077
01:33:32,958 --> 01:33:34,375
into it and you turn

1078
01:33:34,375 --> 01:33:35,000
the thing on. It's like,

1079
01:33:35,041 --> 01:33:39,416
it just shakes you. It jiggles your fat.

1080
01:33:39,416 --> 01:33:40,791
It jiggles your fat. It

1081
01:33:40,791 --> 01:33:42,083
shakes you into shape.

1082
01:33:43,458 --> 01:33:45,916
I would call it BS on that. I would

1083
01:33:45,916 --> 01:33:49,000
always get in that thing. It was so

1084
01:33:49,000 --> 01:33:51,250
funny. I've got to find if

1085
01:33:51,250 --> 01:33:52,458
that thing is still on mine. Cause they

1086
01:33:52,458 --> 01:33:53,875
had one of those. I'm like, are you

1087
01:33:53,875 --> 01:33:55,208
kidding me? Even as a kid,

1088
01:33:55,208 --> 01:33:57,041
I knew that was junk. You're like, even

1089
01:33:57,041 --> 01:33:59,125
as a kid, that thing is not

1090
01:33:59,125 --> 01:34:00,458
getting you into shape. Yeah.

1091
01:34:00,500 --> 01:34:02,083
That sounds like my grandmother, doesn't

1092
01:34:02,083 --> 01:34:04,375
it? He does sound a little

1093
01:34:04,375 --> 01:34:05,458
A-vanellist. I'm going to go

1094
01:34:05,458 --> 01:34:08,125
get my workout in. She's just sitting

1095
01:34:08,125 --> 01:34:10,583
there. You're literally not

1096
01:34:10,583 --> 01:34:13,791
moving. She just, you know,

1097
01:34:13,791 --> 01:34:15,416
if she drank then I can make sure they're

1098
01:34:15,416 --> 01:34:18,875
martini, you know, in high

1099
01:34:18,875 --> 01:34:22,083
heels, working out so hard.

1100
01:34:22,875 --> 01:34:25,125
I'm pretty sure that you physically need

1101
01:34:25,125 --> 01:34:26,291
to move your body in order to

1102
01:34:26,291 --> 01:34:28,041
get it in shape. Yeah. Well,

1103
01:34:28,625 --> 01:34:30,250
for that moment in the eighties, some

1104
01:34:30,250 --> 01:34:31,708
people didn't think so. Oh

1105
01:34:31,708 --> 01:34:33,708
my gosh. Yeah. Oh, was that

1106
01:34:33,708 --> 01:34:35,583
Susie and summers wasn't the one that

1107
01:34:35,583 --> 01:34:37,083
sold that was she? No, that

1108
01:34:37,083 --> 01:34:38,583
was the thigh master. That

1109
01:34:39,375 --> 01:34:40,916
might've made it up to that room too. At

1110
01:34:40,916 --> 01:34:43,458
some point, actually there's

1111
01:34:43,458 --> 01:34:44,750
probably like legit science

1112
01:34:44,750 --> 01:34:47,333
that it did strengthen your thighs. It

1113
01:34:47,333 --> 01:34:50,208
required physical effort.

1114
01:34:51,708 --> 01:34:54,375
It's one of those things you

1115
01:34:54,416 --> 01:34:56,833
need to have. Yeah. Did your parents,

1116
01:34:56,833 --> 01:34:57,583
what are some of those

1117
01:34:57,583 --> 01:34:58,500
things that your grandparents had?

1118
01:34:58,500 --> 01:35:00,000
Do they have anything that's just like so

1119
01:35:00,000 --> 01:35:00,916
old? It's like, how

1120
01:35:00,916 --> 01:35:02,958
did they even have that?

1121
01:35:05,208 --> 01:35:07,083
Well, certainly not exercise equipment.

1122
01:35:08,041 --> 01:35:10,375
Oh, my, do you remember the

1123
01:35:10,375 --> 01:35:13,541
TV that they had in their,

1124
01:35:14,125 --> 01:35:15,375
I mean, for the longest time it didn't

1125
01:35:15,375 --> 01:35:16,916
work. So it was in kind of their main

1126
01:35:16,916 --> 01:35:18,583
living room, you know,

1127
01:35:18,583 --> 01:35:21,625
formal living room area. Yeah. You know,

1128
01:35:21,625 --> 01:35:22,500
the main TV that everyone

1129
01:35:22,500 --> 01:35:23,583
watches kind of in that family

1130
01:35:23,666 --> 01:35:30,333
room area, but they had like a 1950, like

1131
01:35:30,333 --> 01:35:31,750
not 50 is like 1950

1132
01:35:31,750 --> 01:35:34,666
television set. And it was, you know,

1133
01:35:34,666 --> 01:35:37,333
set on the ground. It was, you know,

1134
01:35:37,541 --> 01:35:39,416
three feet high. Was it

1135
01:35:39,416 --> 01:35:41,750
the one encased in wood? Yes.

1136
01:35:41,875 --> 01:35:46,083
Yeah. And for the longest time it didn't

1137
01:35:46,083 --> 01:35:48,000
work. Oh, really? Yeah.

1138
01:35:48,958 --> 01:35:50,125
Well, because it was their first,

1139
01:35:50,166 --> 01:35:52,333
I think it was their first television set

1140
01:35:52,333 --> 01:35:53,291
that my mom had as a

1141
01:35:53,291 --> 01:35:56,000
child. It was. I mean,

1142
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,458
it created almost like a table, like,

1143
01:35:59,458 --> 01:36:00,458
because it was so large.

1144
01:36:00,458 --> 01:36:01,708
It's encased in wood. I mean,

1145
01:36:01,708 --> 01:36:04,291
pictures were on it and stuff. Yeah. So

1146
01:36:04,291 --> 01:36:06,916
probably for my first 10

1147
01:36:06,916 --> 01:36:08,333
years of life, that thing was just

1148
01:36:08,333 --> 01:36:10,125
a decoration. It's probably the same

1149
01:36:10,125 --> 01:36:10,750
thing. I had the Sears

1150
01:36:10,750 --> 01:36:12,041
catalog everybody had. I mean,

1151
01:36:12,083 --> 01:36:13,125
it's not like they made a lot of that

1152
01:36:13,125 --> 01:36:14,583
stuff. Right. I think that

1153
01:36:14,583 --> 01:36:15,458
was the one that literally,

1154
01:36:15,458 --> 01:36:16,916
you know, went off at nine o'clock to the

1155
01:36:16,916 --> 01:36:17,875
national anthem. And then

1156
01:36:17,875 --> 01:36:19,000
you just got the bars, like,

1157
01:36:19,666 --> 01:36:21,041
and then you had no more programming.

1158
01:36:21,291 --> 01:36:24,458
It's like 10 or 11. But yeah, yeah. And

1159
01:36:24,458 --> 01:36:26,625
then when I got to be

1160
01:36:26,625 --> 01:36:28,000
probably, you know, into double digits,

1161
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,250
like, they actually had it

1162
01:36:30,250 --> 01:36:32,083
reworked so that it worked. And

1163
01:36:32,083 --> 01:36:33,750
then so I mean, I guess that was somebody

1164
01:36:33,750 --> 01:36:35,416
fixed it. I thought you

1165
01:36:35,416 --> 01:36:36,041
were saying they had to open up

1166
01:36:36,041 --> 01:36:37,666
the roof to take it to crane it out of

1167
01:36:37,666 --> 01:36:39,583
there. No, they had that TV up

1168
01:36:39,583 --> 01:36:41,416
until they moved out of their

1169
01:36:41,416 --> 01:36:42,708
house. I mean, you and I watched

1170
01:36:42,708 --> 01:36:44,916
television on that. Yeah, I do. I know

1171
01:36:44,916 --> 01:36:45,500
exactly which one you're

1172
01:36:45,541 --> 01:36:47,750
talking about. Yeah. Wow. I can't believe

1173
01:36:47,750 --> 01:36:48,500
they still had that TV

1174
01:36:48,500 --> 01:36:49,791
when we first started dating.

1175
01:36:50,041 --> 01:36:52,750
Oh my gosh, they had it until after. For

1176
01:36:52,750 --> 01:36:53,625
all I know, it moved into

1177
01:36:53,625 --> 01:36:54,458
the apartment with them. But

1178
01:36:54,458 --> 01:36:57,333
no, I think they had that television

1179
01:36:57,333 --> 01:37:01,375
until, you know, 2010.

1180
01:37:02,416 --> 01:37:04,541
Watch it on the tube. Oh, as my

1181
01:37:04,541 --> 01:37:06,000
grandfather, they watch it on the boob

1182
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:08,875
tube. Boob tube. I don't know what that

1183
01:37:08,875 --> 01:37:10,875
means. Yeah, I don't

1184
01:37:10,875 --> 01:37:12,750
know either. Yeah, but that was his

1185
01:37:12,750 --> 01:37:14,458
phrase. But because that's where my

1186
01:37:14,458 --> 01:37:15,166
grandma would watch TV.

1187
01:37:15,208 --> 01:37:17,666
But I mean, we would once that thing

1188
01:37:17,666 --> 01:37:19,000
worked. Oh my gosh, we

1189
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:20,500
that's where we'd watch Christmas

1190
01:37:20,500 --> 01:37:21,791
movies when we were there at Christmas

1191
01:37:21,791 --> 01:37:22,666
time. And it was right

1192
01:37:22,666 --> 01:37:23,833
next to the Christmas tree.

1193
01:37:24,125 --> 01:37:27,250
That was the only thing. I mean, that was

1194
01:37:27,250 --> 01:37:30,458
really cool. Like, as I got

1195
01:37:30,458 --> 01:37:31,791
older, I'm like, Oh my gosh,

1196
01:37:31,791 --> 01:37:34,625
how many televisions like that exist? And

1197
01:37:34,625 --> 01:37:35,291
I know it was pretty

1198
01:37:35,291 --> 01:37:36,916
expensive to like actually get it to

1199
01:37:36,916 --> 01:37:38,833
work because it didn't have working.

1200
01:37:39,416 --> 01:37:40,541
Yeah, you could probably have brought a

1201
01:37:40,541 --> 01:37:41,416
new one at that point

1202
01:37:41,500 --> 01:37:43,000
time. I mean, I remember when we

1203
01:37:43,000 --> 01:37:45,708
upgraded, we got an RCA. Oh, yeah, that

1204
01:37:45,708 --> 01:37:48,416
was like 36 inch RCA at one

1205
01:37:48,416 --> 01:37:50,500
point. It was huge. I mean, I thought we

1206
01:37:50,500 --> 01:37:53,291
were living big at that

1207
01:37:53,291 --> 01:37:54,416
point when we got that because

1208
01:37:54,416 --> 01:37:56,916
it was but it had to weigh 500 pounds. It

1209
01:37:56,916 --> 01:37:58,416
was it was deeper than it

1210
01:37:58,416 --> 01:38:00,666
was, you know, wider. Those

1211
01:38:00,666 --> 01:38:03,791
things were huge and heavy. You'd have to

1212
01:38:03,791 --> 01:38:04,583
get a whole other table

1213
01:38:04,583 --> 01:38:07,583
just to set it on. Yeah. We had

1214
01:38:07,583 --> 01:38:08,666
that one at our house. But I don't

1215
01:38:08,666 --> 01:38:09,750
remember too many other things that our

1216
01:38:09,750 --> 01:38:10,625
parents had. I'm sure

1217
01:38:10,625 --> 01:38:12,250
our grandparents had a ton of crazy stuff

1218
01:38:12,250 --> 01:38:13,416
that they eventually got

1219
01:38:13,416 --> 01:38:14,750
rid of. Yeah. You know,

1220
01:38:14,750 --> 01:38:16,625
like typewriters and stuff or blonde

1221
01:38:16,625 --> 01:38:18,083
darts, things that just don't really

1222
01:38:18,083 --> 01:38:19,041
exist anymore. Yeah.

1223
01:38:19,458 --> 01:38:20,416
Yeah. And today's day and age, I'd have

1224
01:38:20,416 --> 01:38:21,416
to think about that to see

1225
01:38:21,416 --> 01:38:22,458
if there's any more but that

1226
01:38:22,458 --> 01:38:24,958
one exercise thing. I just don't ever

1227
01:38:24,958 --> 01:38:26,708
forget that. I don't ever see anything

1228
01:38:26,708 --> 01:38:28,958
quite that eccentric.

1229
01:38:29,375 --> 01:38:31,583
Yeah. Shall I say? I'm not sure what.

1230
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:33,291
Yeah. What area to call

1231
01:38:33,291 --> 01:38:35,375
that? Like, yeah, category. Does

1232
01:38:35,750 --> 01:38:38,375
that thing fit in eccentric? It's

1233
01:38:38,375 --> 01:38:39,250
probably a pretty good one

1234
01:38:39,250 --> 01:38:42,708
to fit it in. Yeah. Yeah. Ron

1235
01:38:42,708 --> 01:38:46,708
and Lois didn't have any like stuff like

1236
01:38:46,708 --> 01:38:48,625
that. Yeah. I'm trying to remember.

1237
01:38:48,875 --> 01:38:49,750
Grandma Gibbs didn't

1238
01:38:49,750 --> 01:38:52,791
have any anything like that either. Yeah.

1239
01:38:52,791 --> 01:38:54,583
I don't think I don't I

1240
01:38:54,583 --> 01:38:55,583
can't remember anything that the

1241
01:38:55,583 --> 01:38:58,833
other side had either. That shocked me. I

1242
01:38:58,833 --> 01:38:59,666
wasn't at their house very

1243
01:38:59,666 --> 01:39:01,375
many times in Illinois. Yeah.

1244
01:39:01,791 --> 01:39:04,125
That as an older person because they

1245
01:39:04,125 --> 01:39:05,791
retired so quickly down to

1246
01:39:05,791 --> 01:39:08,833
early in my age. Yeah. Probably

1247
01:39:08,833 --> 01:39:10,458
before I was 10 or right around 10, maybe

1248
01:39:10,458 --> 01:39:12,041
they retired down to

1249
01:39:12,041 --> 01:39:13,833
Florida. And I feel like down

1250
01:39:13,833 --> 01:39:15,083
there, they got everything new. Like they

1251
01:39:15,083 --> 01:39:16,208
got rid of all their.

1252
01:39:16,208 --> 01:39:18,416
Yeah. Chicago stuff. You know,

1253
01:39:18,416 --> 01:39:20,500
yeah. Got a boat, all that kind of stuff.

1254
01:39:20,833 --> 01:39:22,125
I don't remember anything eccentric

1255
01:39:22,125 --> 01:39:22,833
there. Other than they

1256
01:39:22,833 --> 01:39:24,708
had like some old swords from like World

1257
01:39:24,708 --> 01:39:25,791
War One or something like

1258
01:39:25,791 --> 01:39:27,000
that. I thought they were.

1259
01:39:27,041 --> 01:39:30,250
You know, you're like, no, I got it. It

1260
01:39:30,250 --> 01:39:32,250
came art, but okay. Oh, no,

1261
01:39:32,250 --> 01:39:33,458
no, they did not get that stuff.

1262
01:39:33,458 --> 01:39:35,125
Okay. It's made out of metal. It's steel.

1263
01:39:35,458 --> 01:39:35,916
I mean, like they have

1264
01:39:35,916 --> 01:39:36,958
some old stuff like that. It's

1265
01:39:36,958 --> 01:39:38,500
really cool. I think Jim has all that

1266
01:39:38,500 --> 01:39:40,833
stuff now. That's really cool. Who's in

1267
01:39:40,833 --> 01:39:42,250
my bedroom for a long

1268
01:39:42,250 --> 01:39:43,250
time as a kid because it's just

1269
01:39:43,250 --> 01:39:46,166
interesting stuff. Yeah. Yeah. So

1270
01:39:46,166 --> 01:39:48,750
anyways, that's well,

1271
01:39:49,291 --> 01:39:50,666
I still trip down memory lane. I would

1272
01:39:50,666 --> 01:39:53,583
say like other than do we have many

1273
01:39:53,583 --> 01:39:54,458
traditions when we do

1274
01:39:55,458 --> 01:39:57,708
when we are when we are here for

1275
01:39:57,708 --> 01:39:59,500
Thanksgiving. I don't think we have too

1276
01:39:59,500 --> 01:40:00,541
many traditions. Yeah.

1277
01:40:00,541 --> 01:40:01,750
We've had to split it more now because

1278
01:40:01,750 --> 01:40:03,125
our schedule is so busy

1279
01:40:03,125 --> 01:40:04,958
that it's just it's getting

1280
01:40:04,958 --> 01:40:06,958
more and more difficult to carve time out

1281
01:40:06,958 --> 01:40:08,541
to fly up north for that.

1282
01:40:08,791 --> 01:40:09,833
In fact, we talked to some

1283
01:40:09,833 --> 01:40:11,208
people, inviting people down here. And

1284
01:40:11,208 --> 01:40:13,291
everybody's open to that. But yeah,

1285
01:40:14,416 --> 01:40:15,125
obviously something we're

1286
01:40:15,125 --> 01:40:18,083
willing to do. But no, we don't really

1287
01:40:18,083 --> 01:40:19,875
have any. We don't

1288
01:40:19,875 --> 01:40:21,166
really have any, you know,

1289
01:40:22,166 --> 01:40:24,708
because and this is such a bad thing

1290
01:40:24,708 --> 01:40:26,208
because we just run such

1291
01:40:26,208 --> 01:40:27,708
chaotic lives all the time.

1292
01:40:27,958 --> 01:40:29,958
Even the kids love a down day. Oh, yeah.

1293
01:40:29,958 --> 01:40:31,708
So when we're not like traveling to

1294
01:40:31,708 --> 01:40:32,666
Minnesota to do with

1295
01:40:32,666 --> 01:40:34,166
your family, even then it's nice because

1296
01:40:34,166 --> 01:40:35,458
then we're just kind of down.

1297
01:40:35,875 --> 01:40:38,208
Yeah. But when we're at home,

1298
01:40:38,500 --> 01:40:40,375
it's like a day off for everybody. Yeah.

1299
01:40:40,625 --> 01:40:42,375
So we're usually with you in

1300
01:40:42,375 --> 01:40:43,500
the kitchen and cooking or we

1301
01:40:43,500 --> 01:40:45,666
got the back, you know, movie room open.

1302
01:40:45,666 --> 01:40:47,333
We got football on lots

1303
01:40:47,333 --> 01:40:48,791
of food and snacks. Really,

1304
01:40:48,791 --> 01:40:50,875
we're just stuffing our faces. Yeah.

1305
01:40:50,875 --> 01:40:51,333
Yeah. That's all we're

1306
01:40:51,333 --> 01:40:53,666
doing. Yeah. Yeah. And I mean,

1307
01:40:53,666 --> 01:40:56,791
I try to prepare. I mean, it's definitely

1308
01:40:56,791 --> 01:40:58,333
we have a classic, incredible

1309
01:40:58,333 --> 01:41:00,250
Thanksgiving cooking and

1310
01:41:00,250 --> 01:41:03,875
stuff. But yeah, yeah, I, I cannot wait

1311
01:41:03,875 --> 01:41:06,416
for next week to just be

1312
01:41:06,416 --> 01:41:07,833
like a whole week off of,

1313
01:41:08,166 --> 01:41:09,583
you know, nothing. I think maybe a couple

1314
01:41:09,583 --> 01:41:11,958
soccer practices or something, but like

1315
01:41:12,250 --> 01:41:14,875
nothing. Yeah. Sleep in late. Yeah. Like

1316
01:41:14,875 --> 01:41:16,958
we'll probably get to

1317
01:41:16,958 --> 01:41:17,875
some Christmas decorations

1318
01:41:17,916 --> 01:41:19,958
because it's a short season. I had to do

1319
01:41:19,958 --> 01:41:22,208
it quick. So yeah, maybe

1320
01:41:22,208 --> 01:41:23,208
even before Thanksgiving,

1321
01:41:23,208 --> 01:41:25,000
which is fine. It's a week. I hope we

1322
01:41:25,000 --> 01:41:26,041
have some time off. Yeah.

1323
01:41:26,041 --> 01:41:27,000
No better time to do it. But

1324
01:41:27,500 --> 01:41:30,125
yeah. Our oldest and I will be in Phoenix

1325
01:41:30,125 --> 01:41:31,500
this weekend. I know.

1326
01:41:31,791 --> 01:41:32,708
So that'll be a quick

1327
01:41:33,125 --> 01:41:34,791
in and out. I guess we're there Thursday

1328
01:41:34,791 --> 01:41:35,708
through Sunday, though. So

1329
01:41:35,708 --> 01:41:37,250
as quick as I want it to be.

1330
01:41:37,708 --> 01:41:39,666
But that means you'll come back a little

1331
01:41:39,666 --> 01:41:40,708
bit earlier than into the

1332
01:41:40,708 --> 01:41:41,833
holiday break or into the

1333
01:41:41,833 --> 01:41:43,583
Thanksgiving break. So that'll be nice.

1334
01:41:43,875 --> 01:41:46,458
Yeah. So yeah. Yeah. We'll miss you.

1335
01:41:47,125 --> 01:41:49,375
I know. Like it'll be really quiet here

1336
01:41:49,375 --> 01:41:50,416
Thursday, Friday. It's just

1337
01:41:50,416 --> 01:41:51,875
easier to do with one parent.

1338
01:41:51,875 --> 01:41:53,375
Like we went, we took two parents left a

1339
01:41:53,375 --> 01:41:54,333
kid behind. We went

1340
01:41:54,333 --> 01:41:55,500
to Colorado last time.

1341
01:41:56,416 --> 01:41:59,875
And that was almost more chaotic. Agreed.

1342
01:41:59,875 --> 01:42:00,333
Because of what we had to

1343
01:42:00,333 --> 01:42:01,416
come back into. Not that

1344
01:42:01,416 --> 01:42:03,875
anything went bad, but there was just so

1345
01:42:03,875 --> 01:42:05,208
much more planning and this

1346
01:42:05,208 --> 01:42:07,958
and yeah. And then at least if

1347
01:42:07,958 --> 01:42:10,833
one person's behind, they're not getting

1348
01:42:10,833 --> 01:42:12,833
behind on, on all the other

1349
01:42:12,833 --> 01:42:13,166
things. Hey, C.C., would you

1350
01:42:13,208 --> 01:42:15,583
mind changing that bed and doing the

1351
01:42:15,583 --> 01:42:17,083
laundry and folding? You know what I

1352
01:42:17,083 --> 01:42:18,125
mean? Yeah. I'm like,

1353
01:42:18,291 --> 01:42:20,166
so I'm behind by five days, you know,

1354
01:42:20,708 --> 01:42:22,750
when one of us is gone.

1355
01:42:23,125 --> 01:42:24,041
Right. Can you order groceries?

1356
01:42:24,708 --> 01:42:26,625
Right. Yeah. Because regardless of which

1357
01:42:26,625 --> 01:42:27,500
one of us is gone, the one

1358
01:42:27,500 --> 01:42:28,625
who's home would then just do

1359
01:42:28,625 --> 01:42:31,125
the other person's stuff, you know? Like,

1360
01:42:31,333 --> 01:42:32,875
yeah, I usually do

1361
01:42:32,875 --> 01:42:34,291
laundry, but if you were home on a

1362
01:42:34,291 --> 01:42:36,000
weekend, you would throw laundry in and

1363
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:37,958
do some laundry, you know, like, not

1364
01:42:37,958 --> 01:42:38,625
having her come home

1365
01:42:38,666 --> 01:42:41,250
to this. Like, you would never do that.

1366
01:42:41,541 --> 01:42:44,125
Right. So it's just like, it

1367
01:42:44,125 --> 01:42:45,625
is easier. It is a little bit

1368
01:42:45,625 --> 01:42:46,833
easier, but it's sad. I don't like being

1369
01:42:46,833 --> 01:42:47,916
like, I'm actually longer

1370
01:42:47,916 --> 01:42:49,291
away from the family on these

1371
01:42:49,291 --> 01:42:51,458
soccer trips for three nights than I

1372
01:42:51,458 --> 01:42:54,166
almost ever was working when I traveled

1373
01:42:54,166 --> 01:42:55,375
for the bank. I know.

1374
01:42:55,708 --> 01:42:57,375
And I didn't like that. I just, two

1375
01:42:57,375 --> 01:42:58,458
nights, I didn't like doing

1376
01:42:58,458 --> 01:42:59,375
anything more than two nights.

1377
01:42:59,750 --> 01:43:01,958
It just felt too long to be away. But at

1378
01:43:01,958 --> 01:43:03,541
least I'm with part of the

1379
01:43:03,541 --> 01:43:04,958
family. Yeah. Still, it's a long

1380
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:07,083
time away from I'm a homebody. Yeah.

1381
01:43:07,500 --> 01:43:09,916
Unless I'm like in Bora Bora or Italy.

1382
01:43:10,375 --> 01:43:11,375
And you can be a homebody

1383
01:43:11,375 --> 01:43:14,458
in one of those places. That's my new

1384
01:43:14,458 --> 01:43:16,375
home. This is my new home.

1385
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:18,291
I'm going to love this new home.

1386
01:43:18,291 --> 01:43:19,583
Bora Bora is like the only one I ever

1387
01:43:19,583 --> 01:43:23,083
almost, Bora Bora was like the only

1388
01:43:23,083 --> 01:43:24,333
vacation I almost cried

1389
01:43:24,333 --> 01:43:26,375
leaving. That was the best. That was

1390
01:43:26,375 --> 01:43:28,291
incredible. Just wanted to

1391
01:43:28,291 --> 01:43:30,125
miss the kids. Miss the kids.

1392
01:43:30,166 --> 01:43:32,083
But did not want to leave that island.

1393
01:43:32,291 --> 01:43:34,000
It's incredible. I know.

1394
01:43:34,000 --> 01:43:35,291
Well, we'll have to go back.

1395
01:43:35,291 --> 01:43:36,333
Because as we're right now, we're

1396
01:43:36,333 --> 01:43:38,000
contemplating where to take our next

1397
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:39,000
year's vacation. I know.

1398
01:43:39,000 --> 01:43:41,833
We're like, hmm. Yeah. That is high on

1399
01:43:41,833 --> 01:43:42,875
the list of places the

1400
01:43:42,875 --> 01:43:44,291
kids want to go. Yeah.

1401
01:43:45,125 --> 01:43:46,500
It's high on the list. I'd love to take

1402
01:43:46,500 --> 01:43:48,000
them. Yes. I'll go back

1403
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:49,000
to the same place too. That

1404
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:52,875
was incredible. It was. It was. Like, oh

1405
01:43:52,875 --> 01:43:54,250
well. Well, we'll figure out

1406
01:43:54,250 --> 01:43:55,750
vacation. Oh well. And when we

1407
01:43:55,791 --> 01:43:58,000
take kids, I mean, it could be Bora Bora

1408
01:43:58,000 --> 01:43:59,166
this year. Who knows? But

1409
01:43:59,166 --> 01:44:02,375
yeah. Actually, to bring that

1410
01:44:02,375 --> 01:44:04,166
back around to places that we want to

1411
01:44:04,166 --> 01:44:05,250
like visit and like new

1412
01:44:05,250 --> 01:44:07,625
versus going, revisiting a place.

1413
01:44:08,333 --> 01:44:10,458
I think most of the time where I want to

1414
01:44:10,458 --> 01:44:12,000
revisit a place is when I

1415
01:44:12,000 --> 01:44:13,291
still feel like there's something

1416
01:44:13,916 --> 01:44:16,208
new there that I can do and experience.

1417
01:44:16,916 --> 01:44:17,833
Like, I would go back to

1418
01:44:17,833 --> 01:44:19,875
Bora Bora just to recreate

1419
01:44:19,875 --> 01:44:21,375
that experience. But there's also other

1420
01:44:21,375 --> 01:44:23,333
things that I still want to

1421
01:44:23,333 --> 01:44:25,000
do there, you know? We did

1422
01:44:25,208 --> 01:44:27,333
everything while we were there. That's

1423
01:44:27,333 --> 01:44:28,625
why I'm like surprised what else there

1424
01:44:28,625 --> 01:44:29,708
could be. But you're

1425
01:44:29,708 --> 01:44:31,083
right. That is one. That's a good point

1426
01:44:31,083 --> 01:44:32,291
because there are very few

1427
01:44:32,291 --> 01:44:34,875
things that just check the

1428
01:44:34,875 --> 01:44:36,875
box of like such a great experience.

1429
01:44:37,125 --> 01:44:39,000
Like, would I do that again? Yeah, I

1430
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:39,833
would do that again.

1431
01:44:40,291 --> 01:44:41,166
You know what I mean? Like, there's like,

1432
01:44:41,166 --> 01:44:41,833
we were talking about

1433
01:44:41,833 --> 01:44:42,541
going back to the Bahamas.

1434
01:44:43,125 --> 01:44:44,375
You know, we were at, what was the name

1435
01:44:44,375 --> 01:44:45,041
of that resort? The

1436
01:44:45,041 --> 01:44:46,375
Atlantis. We were Atlantis.

1437
01:44:47,000 --> 01:44:50,000
That was awesome. Yeah. Now it rained the

1438
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:51,333
entire time we were there.

1439
01:44:51,791 --> 01:44:54,458
Yes. And but we were all,

1440
01:44:54,791 --> 01:44:58,875
we, I'm getting too deep into that one.

1441
01:44:58,958 --> 01:45:00,375
That's one that I might go back to

1442
01:45:00,375 --> 01:45:01,250
because we didn't fully

1443
01:45:01,250 --> 01:45:03,000
get to enjoy it. Yes. You know what I

1444
01:45:03,000 --> 01:45:03,750
mean? Because of all the

1445
01:45:03,750 --> 01:45:05,208
rain. Hopefully it won't rain

1446
01:45:05,375 --> 01:45:06,875
the whole time we're there this next time

1447
01:45:06,875 --> 01:45:08,250
too. Right. You know,

1448
01:45:08,250 --> 01:45:09,208
but that's one that's like,

1449
01:45:09,208 --> 01:45:11,208
okay, maybe, but even then I'm like,

1450
01:45:11,208 --> 01:45:13,041
well, maybe there's

1451
01:45:13,041 --> 01:45:14,708
somewhere else we could go. You know,

1452
01:45:14,708 --> 01:45:16,500
there's a newer, there's a newer Atlantis

1453
01:45:16,500 --> 01:45:18,166
on Nassau as well. Do

1454
01:45:18,166 --> 01:45:19,083
we just try that one out?

1455
01:45:19,916 --> 01:45:22,125
You know, so yeah, but boar boar is one

1456
01:45:22,125 --> 01:45:23,000
that I'm like, everybody

1457
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:24,291
say you want to go to war war.

1458
01:45:25,083 --> 01:45:27,125
Let's go right back to that place. Yeah,

1459
01:45:27,125 --> 01:45:28,083
no problem repeating

1460
01:45:28,083 --> 01:45:29,583
that. There is no like,

1461
01:45:29,916 --> 01:45:32,000
well, the Maldives now I want to get to

1462
01:45:32,000 --> 01:45:33,750
the Maldives. I do too. Which is very

1463
01:45:33,750 --> 01:45:35,250
boar boar like. Yep.

1464
01:45:35,958 --> 01:45:37,625
But you know, that's, that's more of a

1465
01:45:37,625 --> 01:45:38,750
commitment because it's, it

1466
01:45:38,750 --> 01:45:39,750
feels like it's so far away.

1467
01:45:39,750 --> 01:45:41,375
It's a lot further. It just seems like

1468
01:45:41,375 --> 01:45:42,250
more of a commitment to

1469
01:45:42,250 --> 01:45:43,791
get there. Yeah. But similar

1470
01:45:44,166 --> 01:45:47,333
surroundings. Right. But definitely at

1471
01:45:47,333 --> 01:45:48,458
least 10 extra hours of

1472
01:45:48,458 --> 01:45:50,041
flying. Yeah. You think about

1473
01:45:50,875 --> 01:45:52,458
the geography of where they are. Well,

1474
01:45:52,458 --> 01:45:52,833
it's the other Christmas

1475
01:45:52,833 --> 01:45:54,375
movie. Boar boar. Sexy, sexy,

1476
01:45:54,625 --> 01:45:56,958
sexy, sexy. All right. Well, let's leave

1477
01:45:56,958 --> 01:45:58,291
on that one. All right. We

1478
01:45:58,291 --> 01:45:59,291
gotta think of our words.

1479
01:46:00,416 --> 01:46:03,750
That's from a movie by the way. Yes, it

1480
01:46:03,750 --> 01:46:04,875
is one that we often

1481
01:46:04,875 --> 01:46:06,000
watch at the holidays. Yeah,

1482
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:06,958
I know. That's why I said speaking of

1483
01:46:06,958 --> 01:46:09,500
holidays. Okay. I had

1484
01:46:09,500 --> 01:46:10,791
thought of a word earlier and I

1485
01:46:10,791 --> 01:46:13,416
forgot it. I had a word earlier this week

1486
01:46:13,416 --> 01:46:14,291
too. I was like, that

1487
01:46:14,291 --> 01:46:17,458
should be my word. Okay. I've

1488
01:46:17,458 --> 01:46:19,208
got my words here. Okay. You beat me to

1489
01:46:19,208 --> 01:46:20,791
it on that one, but I've got it. All

1490
01:46:20,791 --> 01:46:22,583
right. One, two, three.

1491
01:46:23,125 --> 01:46:27,333
Gratitude. Oh, okay. Nice. So, gratitude.

1492
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:28,958
What do you, what do you,

1493
01:46:28,958 --> 01:46:30,875
uh, grateful for? You know,

1494
01:46:31,125 --> 01:46:32,708
I feel like if I think about the last

1495
01:46:32,708 --> 01:46:34,916
week and this week

1496
01:46:34,916 --> 01:46:36,375
preceding Thanksgiving and the week

1497
01:46:36,416 --> 01:46:38,083
preceding Thanksgiving yet, this is not

1498
01:46:38,083 --> 01:46:39,041
actually the whole

1499
01:46:39,041 --> 01:46:42,083
Thanksgiving. No, I am. I think it was

1500
01:46:42,083 --> 01:46:45,166
a really interesting weekend because it

1501
01:46:45,166 --> 01:46:47,458
was busy, but yet in

1502
01:46:47,458 --> 01:46:48,833
productive and like we actually had

1503
01:46:48,833 --> 01:46:52,500
some time as a family at home. Um, like

1504
01:46:52,500 --> 01:46:53,416
there was one moment we were

1505
01:46:53,416 --> 01:46:54,625
watching the Bronco game and

1506
01:46:54,625 --> 01:46:55,833
we were all eating pickle chips and

1507
01:46:55,833 --> 01:46:57,625
everyone was around and just like

1508
01:46:57,625 --> 01:46:58,791
laughing. And it was just

1509
01:46:58,791 --> 01:47:00,166
like one of those moments where I was

1510
01:47:00,166 --> 01:47:03,208
like, just thank you. Like

1511
01:47:03,208 --> 01:47:04,875
this, this is just, it was just

1512
01:47:04,916 --> 01:47:06,583
so special. Like it's that those little

1513
01:47:06,583 --> 01:47:07,500
moments. And I feel like

1514
01:47:07,500 --> 01:47:09,083
we've had a lot of them and

1515
01:47:09,083 --> 01:47:11,666
especially coming into this next week. I

1516
01:47:11,666 --> 01:47:13,583
feel like I just feel

1517
01:47:13,583 --> 01:47:15,291
grateful. Yeah. I don't know.

1518
01:47:15,500 --> 01:47:17,083
That was just the overwhelming sentiment

1519
01:47:17,083 --> 01:47:19,500
on my heart. That's a

1520
01:47:19,500 --> 01:47:21,541
great sentiment to feel. Yeah.

1521
01:47:22,250 --> 01:47:23,666
If you feel that all the time, it'd be

1522
01:47:23,666 --> 01:47:24,958
great because there's so

1523
01:47:24,958 --> 01:47:26,000
much to be grateful for.

1524
01:47:26,916 --> 01:47:28,500
Um, as I think Selene

1525
01:47:28,500 --> 01:47:29,583
Dion says a song about that.

1526
01:47:29,625 --> 01:47:32,875
Yeah, she does. It's really next week.

1527
01:47:33,333 --> 01:47:35,500
Yeah. The next holiday. Uh,

1528
01:47:35,708 --> 01:47:37,166
push through is, uh, you know,

1529
01:47:37,166 --> 01:47:38,000
there's a lot of things that we're trying

1530
01:47:38,000 --> 01:47:38,875
to just get through. We're

1531
01:47:38,875 --> 01:47:39,916
almost, we're almost to the

1532
01:47:39,916 --> 01:47:41,791
holidays. Just a lot of, you know, like

1533
01:47:41,791 --> 01:47:43,166
just steps to get through

1534
01:47:43,166 --> 01:47:44,583
there and until we get to that

1535
01:47:44,583 --> 01:47:46,333
place to enjoy it. Yeah. So it's like,

1536
01:47:46,333 --> 01:47:48,333
it's pushed through, pushed through it

1537
01:47:48,333 --> 01:47:48,875
and we'll get to the

1538
01:47:48,875 --> 01:47:51,250
fun, we'll get to the fun stuff. But it's

1539
01:47:51,250 --> 01:47:52,125
those fake horizons

1540
01:47:52,125 --> 01:47:55,416
though. Oh my gosh. Yes. They're

1541
01:47:55,458 --> 01:47:59,166
everywhere. It's like, dang it. Yeah.

1542
01:47:59,375 --> 01:48:01,333
Yeah, definitely. But all

1543
01:48:01,333 --> 01:48:03,791
good. So all good. A couple

1544
01:48:03,791 --> 01:48:07,041
things to take care of and, um, you know,

1545
01:48:07,041 --> 01:48:09,208
all good. I think so. Looking

1546
01:48:09,208 --> 01:48:11,083
forward to some time off next

1547
01:48:11,083 --> 01:48:12,708
week. Yeah. We'll be able to get some

1548
01:48:12,708 --> 01:48:17,916
time off. It is. All right.

1549
01:48:17,916 --> 01:48:19,000
Well, let's take off from here.

1550
01:48:19,041 --> 01:48:21,750
What do you think? All right. All right.

1551
01:48:21,750 --> 01:48:22,958
Thanks for joining. See you

1552
01:48:22,958 --> 01:48:24,791
next time. Ciao ciao. See ya.

1553
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:14,916
Y'all breakfast is

1554
01:55:14,916 --> 01:55:16,333
ready you come and get it.

1555
01:55:16,500 --> 01:55:17,666
Go and get it.

1556
01:55:17,666 --> 01:55:19,375
We're going to talk about drainage for

1557
01:55:19,375 --> 01:55:20,625
the next 45 minutes.

1558
01:55:20,625 --> 01:55:21,375
In fact this is going to be

1559
01:55:21,375 --> 01:55:23,208
an extended episode on Plem.

1560
01:55:23,541 --> 01:55:25,500
Or as our daughter would say, really.

1561
01:55:26,541 --> 01:55:26,750
Really.

1562
01:55:27,166 --> 01:55:28,416
But there's a big old butt come.

1563
01:55:28,708 --> 01:55:29,916
I have a love hate

1564
01:55:29,916 --> 01:55:31,541
relationship with the elf on the shelf.

1565
01:55:32,166 --> 01:55:33,750
Why are you offended by that?

1566
01:55:34,041 --> 01:55:35,166
Because I've seen blue eyes and that's

1567
01:55:35,166 --> 01:55:36,375
not the color of my eyes.

1568
01:55:36,833 --> 01:55:38,375
I'm calling BS on that.

1569
01:55:38,833 --> 01:55:40,166
Like I do not like them here.

1570
01:55:40,166 --> 01:55:41,125
I do not like them there.

1571
01:55:41,125 --> 01:55:42,583
I do not like them anywhere. I do not like them anywhere.

1572
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:44,375
Alright we'll put that one on the shelf

1573
01:55:44,375 --> 01:55:45,833
with the elf for the title.

1574
01:55:47,000 --> 01:55:48,500
And how long did it take Tweedle Dee,

1575
01:55:48,500 --> 01:55:49,958
Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Dumber to do it?

1576
01:55:50,208 --> 01:55:51,458
Oh my gosh.

1577
01:55:51,458 --> 01:55:52,541
We've got 90 years of

1578
01:55:52,541 --> 01:55:53,958
experience between the two of us.

1579
01:55:53,958 --> 01:55:55,083
No it's actually a little higher.

1580
01:55:56,291 --> 01:55:57,791
It's like it's actually closer to 100.

1581
01:55:58,416 --> 01:55:59,875
Exterior illumination.

1582
01:56:00,625 --> 01:56:01,958
For that moment in the 80's

1583
01:56:01,958 --> 01:56:03,000
some people didn't think so.

1584
01:56:03,208 --> 01:56:04,333
Watch it on Boop Doop.

1585
01:56:04,666 --> 01:56:05,250
Bora Bora.

1586
01:56:05,250 --> 01:56:05,625
Sexy sexy.

1587
01:56:06,791 --> 01:56:07,208
Ciao Ciao.

1588
01:56:07,875 --> 01:56:08,250
See ya.
