It's too festive. I know. I bet you can't fill your cheeks with air and then show your teeth. Let's try. I have self diagnosed adult ADHD and a very clean kitchen faucet.
Yeah. How's that going? Don't look at it, though, because you might not think it's as clean as I think it is. You only gave it a 15 minute clean. It can't be that good.
Our daughter does not wanna share the cinnamon rolls. I mean, does not. Yeah. No. And and I bet she hasn't even had one.
Nope. What's with all the spam marketing emails? I don't know. I showed you, how to use the unsubscribe button. Yeah.
That only works in Gmail, not Yahoo Mail running your Gmail, weirdo. Stop. Who has Paramount Plus anyway? Not me. Were terrible back seat passengers, festive foods, and festive comfort wear How's it going?
It's all good. Okay. And Josh is gonna have a little bonus stocking gift. I'm so excited to see what it is. I got high expectations.

It's leftovers day. Oh, no. Yeah. No. Yeah.
No. Gotta clear out the fridge. Eat those leftovers. Eat them. No.
I don't want to. I hate leftovers. What? Leftover meats. Ew.
That's the worst. Leftover dried up dip. Oh, dip is good. I'll eat leftover dip. We have some leftover dip.
I know. I'll have some of that. Need some of that. We've got some. Well, I don't have it here.
But I don't that's not a breakfast thing. I don't think I could dig into spinach artichoke dip at breakfast time. I don't think that's it. Artichokes? Yeah.
No. Why not? No. That southwest one that's so delicious. It is so delicious.
I don't think I could do it for breakfast. Beans and corn? Yeah. It's a little spicy, so you'd be spicing it up in the morning. That's true.
That is true. Also fruitcake day today. Something you did a lot of, it's make cutout snowflakes day. I made a lot of snowflakes. I look around the room, and, it's a it's a real It's a winter wonderland, and you're a business.
Who's who of snowflakes? Who's Who of snowflakes? Mhmm. That's because they were fun. No.
I know you had a really good time. Great time. Yeah. You really did. When I was sitting here, and it gets kind of boring, like Yeah.
Do do do do. Right. Instead of talking to me, you're like, I'll just make snowflakes. Busy doing stuff. Yeah.
So then I said, well, what can I do? I'll make a 100 snowflakes. Not a 100. Probably 20. Yeah.
Probably 20. It's call a friend day. So do that. Okay. A download day.
So you can I think it's about being aware of, your digital footprint is probably what that's about? Chocolate candy day and card playing day. When was the last time you played cards? It it's been a minute. Well, let's play today.
I mean, we could. Cut out a snowflake, play some cards. Eat some chocolate cake. Chocolate. You know, not bad.
Not a bad day. Not a bad way to spend a day. Some leftover dip? Yeah. Later on.
Not right now. 6 in the morning. Yep. Vintage artichoke. Do you have I don't think so.
I don't think I could do it. I could. Nah. I'd have some right now. You would?
Right now. I'd I'd have, like, a fried egg, maybe a muffin, sausage links. Some bacon. Yeah. That sounds okay.
Yeah. Not dip. You're a dip. Aw. Rude.
That's not true. So rude. Well, it's a big deal for the bald eagle today. Oh, yeah? Yeah.
Did you know that even though it is sort of been, I guess, assumed that the bald eagle is the national bird and it's been on the great seal of the United States since 17/82, it was not until just now Right. That the bald eagle has legally been recognized as the national bird. Yeah. I saw something about this last week. Am I you know how you just read a headline, and then you're like, oh, I'll read that later.
Right. I never read it later. But I did see something about that. Yeah. It's it's a fact.
President Joe Biden signed this bipartisan bill this week that designated the bald eagle as the national bird. So what does one have to do to become the national bird? Well, you have to be a bald eagle. But we could have picked anybody else. Yeah.
We could have picked a quail, but we didn't. We picked the bald eagle. But then what are the other steps? We would like this bird to be the national bird. What are the next steps?
Signing a bill into law. Someone has to, you you gotta have have a bill written that says the eagle should be our national bird, and then it goes to Capitol Hill and it gets voted on. I'm just a bird. It's see. Yeah.
Right. That's exactly right. You've seen Schoolhouse Rock. That's how this works. A bill capital.
Right. I get it. The bill gets written and then passed in the law. Hold on. What else was I gonna say?
So all of those laws against No. Now that's different. Okay. So so the bald eagle was put on the endangered species list in the mid 20th century, which led to conservation and recovery efforts. Estimates in 2018 2019 have the bald eagles numbering around 316,000, a little more than that.
Bald eagles are still, by federal law, illegal to kill, sell, or harm. Because of the endangered list. I thought it was because they were our national bird, and that's why you couldn't. No. It's because I've been It's because there's only 316,000 of them.
I've been led astray Yeah. My whole life. Well, now as of this week, it's official. The bald eagle Congratulations. Is America's official bird.
Yeah. Well done. Bald is beautiful, isn't it? It is. It is.
This story is so wild. In South Africa, there is, a beach in Cape Town, called Diaz Beach. Okay. One of the, greatest surfing spots in South Africa. However, the water there, it's not recommended to swim in Oh.
Because there are very strong currents that can carry swimmers out to sea. Okay. It's very scenic. Scary. Great surfing.
Very dangerous water. So, last Wednesday I don't know why they they wrote this article this way. It says, at an hour past midnight last Wednesday so is that 1 AM? O'clock. 1 AM?
That's what I would do. There's no this there's no way this story happened at 1 o'clock in the morning. Who's surfing at 1 AM? That's No one was surfing. But, there was a swimmer who became imperiled.
She was in the water and was starting to get washed away. And there was a cod fisherman who was nearby fishing and saw her and said, that doesn't look right. I'm gonna try and help her. So armed with his fishing rod, he began casting toward her and casting and casting and casting. And, there eventually was a rescue team nearby after he hooked her pants with his fishing hook.
Him. His big cod fishing hook, which is about the size of of a pinky, and hooked into her pants. Did not hook her leg, didn't hook any other part of her body, just hooked her on the pants, and he reeled her in Good job. Of safety. Of course, you're gonna tell this fishing story.
Good story. It's a good story. Look at what size a cod fishing hook is. So, it's you gotta look up this specific hook. It's a, cablejou hook, kabeljou.
J o u. Okay. Fish hook. And it's not that big, but it's a it's a hook. It is.
It's a serious hook. Good for him for just getting her closed and not her skin. Exactly. I don't know how that happened, but but it did. And, he has been now held as a hero, and I would say, what a great fisherman.
What a good cast. He reeled her into the beach where she was able to reach waist deep water, then he waded into the water and helped her out, and onto the beach where emergency services were arriving on the scene, which is pretty cool. So, anyway, he saved he saved this, lady's life He saved the day, bud. With his fishing skills. And that's good news to get you going.
Good job. When did your parents take down Christmas when you were growing up? Pretty much when we got around to it. I don't think there was ever a designated no. There are people who take it down like Christmas is over, throw the tree outside.
I know. I didn't see that this year, though. I haven't seen that this year either. I typically like to wait until after New Year's. Yeah.
I think we were talking to Jay Hildebrand about that yesterday, and he was he was very much on that page as well. He was in the studio, and we were we were chatting about taking down Christmas because the studio is all decorated, and we're like, yeah, but it kinda it's festive stuff. Yeah. And it's kinda nice. Lights are fun.
Yeah. If you take them down, then you got what? Nothing. No. Yeah.
Well, we'll still have the LEDs, and we'll still have each other. So there's that. No. We'll have nothing. But, no, we still have Christmas up at home.
We still have Christmas up in the studio. I agree. Ring in the New Year Sure. Festivity. Right.
Why not? I think after New Year is when I'm gonna take mine down. Probably. Maybe. I'll just leave it up until next Christmas.
How about that? Excuse me putting it up in the storage. I know. That. I don't have to climb a ladder.
Just leave it up all year. Yeah. Why is it always Christmas in here? Because I'm late. Here's what happens.
I put my regular decorations away, and then I forget where I put them when I get out holiday decorating. In a box in the garage. Are they? You know where they are? Yeah.
They're right in the middle of the garage. Oh, yeah. They are. I could have to walk around them to get to stuff. No.
They're out of the way. Yeah. You don't have to walk around them. I know exactly where they are. They're over to the side.
Get out of here with your, you have to walk around them. Stop it. Well, if you do have a live tree, I just saw the city of Ammon is doing a a big Christmas tree bonfire, that'll be happening on the 18th January. So if you have a live Christmas tree, you can't have any decorations on it. You gotta take your Obs.
You gotta take your decor off. They're not gonna burn all that. That's not safe. And they're also gonna have some fireworks and stuff. They're calling it the icy inferno.
Oh. Yeah. So it'd be like vendor booths and stuff, but the bonfire will light at 6:30 PM. That's on, Saturday, January 18th. I believe it's gonna be I'm looking at the map.
They have a drop off area at McCowen, Park, near the Ammon swimming pool. Okay. It's just to the west there, and I'm sure it's well labeled. I haven't driven over there and stuff, but you can drop them off now, between now and, January 18th. Live undecorated trees, you can throw in the pile, and then they're gonna light that bonfire, on Cool.
18th. Yeah. Burning up Christmas trees. To be a section of, like, over by us, by our house Yes. Where people it was not a designated drop your tree up here.
Dropped stuff there. Yeah. Garbage. All kinds of garbage. Right.
And then that became, like, the big, like, oh, I've seen trees dropped off here before. I guess I'm gonna drop my tree off here too. Yeah. Well And I think it was a designated area in the city. They have several of those.
I don't think this was. But but I think what happened is over time, I think people decided that that area, because I could dump a Christmas tree there at the end of Christmas, I could also dump my trash there any time of the year, and, and they'll just take it take care of it. But now there's, like, fines and stuff for fenced up. Yeah. Okay.
Makes me happy. There's there's all kinds of, don't don't do that. Don't dump your garbage here. Yeah. Don't litter.
Well, when did you say that bonfire was? January 18th? Uh-huh. I kinda wanna go. That sounds kinda fun.
I don't have a lot of experience. No. But you can go watch them live on fire. Christmas tree owners invited? I won't burn my Christmas people.
Can go. Music, food, prizes, fireworks. Prizes. Yeah. There's all kinds of stuff going on.
Prizes? That's what it says. Oh. Icy Inferno. If you want more info, that's on the City of Ammon, Facebook page.
And I'm sure there's other ways to dispose of your live Christmas trees as well, but that's one of them that will also, you know, include a fiery spectacle. So that's fun. New doesn't like a fiery spectacle. You know? Keeping you warm?
Mid January? Sounds about right. That sounds fun. Yeah. Anyway, good luck tearing down Christmas.
No. Not yet. No. Not to you. I'm just saying If anybody's doing it general Yeah.
The general public have fun. Good luck. Gently Stow it away. It away. Yeah.
Don't say tear down Christmas. No. That's you you know what I meant. It sounds so aggressive. I didn't mean tear it down like unwrapping a present.
I mean, just, like, put it away. Gently. Sure. Lovingly. Alright.
Emery was at the doctor, the other day, last week, week ago, a week ago. And he said, okay. We I just gotta do a quick exam on you. I gotta do a little neurological exam, see if everything's working properly. So he test reflexes.
So he does all that. Yeah. Yeah. And then he says, okay. Now I need you to blow out your cheeks and show your teeth.
So every night both are going. That's impossible. Puff up your cheeks. We'll fill fill your mouth with air. She, on the table, is doing it, and she can't.
And so then I try. Yeah. Puff up your cheeks with air and show your teeth. Right. Because all the air escapes.
So I'm sitting on the bench going, that's impossible. Like, we've already failed this neurological exam, both of us. And then he says I mean, she probably tried it maybe 2 or 3 times. Yeah. And he goes, no.
No. No. No. Just blow up your cheeks with air, let your air out, and then show me your teeth. Like, 2 separate Yeah.
What's he what's he trying to find out there? I don't know. But I like that you were trying very hard to keep air in your, cheeks while also showing your teeth. Can't. It's impossible.
No. It can't be done. But I like that you both spent some time trying. We did. And so then we both felt real dumb.
We failed that neurological fail. Still curious what's he looking at, like, when you do that. Can you explain? No. It's 2 separate things.
It's not one thing. He just needed her to blow up her cheeks with air. Yeah. 2nd side quest, show your teeth. That's it.
There was 2 separate occasions. It's not one test. Makes no sense. Why? What?
It doesn't make sense. I don't get why you're confused. I understand they're separate things, but what's he looking for? Oh, I don't the I don't know. I don't know.
Does does the act of inflating your cheeks do something to your gums or something? I don't know. He would then go, oh, that's a thing. Do you see what I'm saying? I see what you're saying, but I think it's Like, why is that part of a neurological test?
I I don't I I don't know. I'm looking. Well, let me know what you find. I wish that you had asked these questions beforehand, so that I could have prepared the answer ahead of time. Yeah.
I don't think it has anything to do with anything. I think he just wanted to see if you guys would try to to show teeth while having air in cheeks, which is not a thing you can do. No. And he goes, I bet he probably just test that out on everybody. He's like, you guys fell for it.
Yeah. It it could be just a thing where he's like, alright. I gotta test your reflexes. Got, you know, all this normal stuff. And then he goes, now, put air on your cheeks and show me your teeth.
And you everybody goes and he goes, like, nope. You failed. We got another one. Brain. We got a broken brain.
That just means we're good at following instruction. And maybe maybe that's the test. Maybe it's just to see if you can Follow the test. Between the two things or if you try to combine them. Or if he's like, we get And since you were there and tried it as well, he went, oh, the apple does not fall far from the tree.
He didn't see me try it. I was hiding. Yeah. I bet he saw you. No.
He had his back here. Heard from the corner and went I did it quiet. Mhmm. Anyway oh, yep. Mom did it too.
Well done, mom. Wanna know how I know I have ADHD? Well, sure. Tell me. This is a nonofficial diagnosis.
K. This is a self diagnosis for myself. I Off to a great start. I was putting stuff away last night, getting ready for bed, and I had done laundry a little bit earlier in the day, and so I was putting away some dish towels. And I put away the dish towels, and then I went, oh, this the faucet looks a little dirty.
And so I started cleaning the faucet, and then I went, oh, the sink looks dirty. So I cleaned out the sink, and then I put some dishes away. And then I really was, like, looking at the faucet going, this could use a real deep clean. And I deep cleaned that faucet. In the kitchen?
Yeah. Cool. I don't even know where you guys were. You were the kids. I have no idea, but I was in it.
The dog was even know you did that. The dog was barking at me because she was needing something, and I was like, I'm busy doing this. I had all kinds of stuff out. Toothpicks to get into the nitty gritty areas. Wow.
I had no idea. And you never will. Did you feel better about it when you were done? I did. I was like, this is great.
And then I went wait. What was I doing before I got trapped into cleaning the faucet? You were just putting away dish towels. But I had, like, a I was like, I'm gonna put away the dish towels, and I'm gonna do this thing, and then I'm gonna also do this thing because I always have, like, lists in my head running. Right.
But then I got deterred by the faucet. Yeah. It happens. Yeah. I was probably cleaning that faucet for 10 to 15 minutes.
It was not on my agenda, but I did it. Wow. Well, good job. Well done. When I threw all the toothpicks and, Q tips and all of the little cleaning supplies away Uh-huh.
I went that's 10 to 15 minutes that I could have spent doing something else. True. But you didn't. You spent doing you spent it doing that, and you feel like, that distraction is is a diagnosis. Is that why?
Yeah. I that happens all the time. That was just one example. I feel like that's a, like, a hyperfixation. Like, you just saw a thing and you went, I gotta deal with this right now.
So what's that diagnosis? What's the hyperfixation diagnosis? Know. I'm no I'm not the guy. I'm not the guy.
But you got it. Whatever it is, you got it. So good job. We have a new clean faucet. That's nice.
Well, here's the thing. I don't wanna say it out loud because I know that people are gonna go look at it, and they're gonna be like, meh. No one's gonna show up at the house and go, let me see that faucet. Could've been done could've been done better. I mean, the way you talked about it, you made it sound like it was amazing.
But Yeah. But I don't That's what I'm saying. Like, I think it looks great, but you're gonna go home and be like, let me see that faucet. And then you're gonna be like I've seen booty. I've seen better.
Yeah. I mean, you spent 15 minutes doing this? 15 whole minutes. Maybe you should give it another 45. Hyperfixation is a symptom of ADHD.
Well, there you go. I knew it. Self diagnosis confirmed. We, on Christmas morning, did a breakfast charcuterie. It well, you call it that, but it was it wasn't there wasn't even, close to a charcuterie.
Yes. It was. You you could call it a bunch of different things before you call it that. There was not a board. There was not a bunch of food laid out of the table.
A board? No. They call it a table. But it's made out of wood So which is also a board. I don't call a house a board or a table.
Why are you so anti charcuterie? Listen. It's not that I'm anti charcuterie. It's just use the right word. It's just a breakfast smorgasbord.
Buffet. Charcuterie. No. It's all the same. It's not.
It is. But there was just a lot of breakfast meats. There was meats. There was French toast. There was fried eggs.
There was, muffins. There was Cinnamon rolls. Donuts. Some fruit. There was all kinds of things.
It was awesome. We might have our eyes might have been bigger than our stomachs because I think we had the idea of a breakfast buffet, and we went crazy with it. But I I feel like only 4 of us. Yeah. But I also feel like, we didn't, like, make too much food.
Is that what you mean? No. I just I think we thought we would have more breakfast options than we actually needed. Because we were talking burritos, and we were talking, like, so many different things. And I think we just ended up making a few pieces and then eating a few things here and there.
We have a lot left over. A lot left over. So we had a thing of cinnamon rolls. Yeah. Am I big pan of them.
You think you were the only one who ate I had one. It was very good. So there's still a whole tree of those left, and nobody has eaten them. And I had them last night. I was putting them next to my stuff to take to bring to work today.
Mhmm. And then we said, what are you doing with that? And I said, oh, I was just gonna take it to work so that we could pass it out to some of the people at work. And she goes, why? And I go, oh, because nobody's eating them.
And she said, well, I will. Alright. Well, they've been sitting here for 2 days. Have 1. She goes, well, maybe I will tomorrow.
And I go, do do you want me to save you one and take the rest to work? And she goes, well, I might have one on Saturday and on Sunday. Okay. So I'm gonna go home today. There's gonna be All of the same cinnamon rolls.
Exactly. Mhmm. But she did not want me to share those cinnamon rolls. Yeah. Don't go don't go doing that.
That's good stuff. Sorry, coworkers. Yeah. You know cinnamon rolls for you. No cinnamon rolls.
Those are Emery's cinnamon rolls. How were they? I didn't even have one. Very good. Yeah.
Very, very good. Too many other good things to choose. Yeah. I liked, heating it up in the oven was nice. I typically, it's a microwave thing, to warm it up and get the icing all melty, but then it ends up being like lava.
This one was warmed all the way throughout without being overly it wasn't too crispy. It wasn't, you know, too hot in the middle. It was just right. It was very good. Well, good.
And very sugary. As they typically are. It was a lot of sugar. Because I also had that, Boston cream donut and some And a cinnamon roll. And a fried egg.
That's not like you. I know. That's a lot of sugar for you. Way too much sugar for me. I kinda wanna have that was a good breakfast.
That was kind of, like, the that was a good Christmas was a good day. Yeah. Wasn't it? Yeah. It was.
Woke up. I think we were awake before the kids were. We were. You and I woke up around 7. We were just kinda milling around with the kids.
Were enjoying the quietness of the morning. And then Took care of the dog, did all that stuff. And then, yeah, then the kids were like, I guess it's time to wake up. But then, Emery made us go back to bed. She did make us go back to bed.
Really was like, no. I need to wake you guys up. She said we have to go back in your bedroom. We have to do Christmas the right way. And I said, if I lay down, I'm not gonna wanna get back up, so don't make me lay down again.
Be careful what you ask for. Yeah. And then we opened presents, and we kind of sauntered our way through that. And then it was like a casual breakfast. Yeah.
It was awesome. Yeah. Not a bad day at all. I could go I could go for a round 2 of, late wake up. Me too.
Lounge around, eat some breakfast, unwrap a gift. Sounds sounds like I could do that a lot. Sounds nice. Every day. If every day could be just like Christmas.
But then the if every day was was just like that, then you'd yearn for, like, I could do something different. So you need it in moderation. Wears off. I see what you're saying. In moderation.
I see what you're saying, Josh. But I could go for it again right now is what I'm saying. I could I could use a little more moderation right about now and a fried egg. And a cinnamon roll? Yeah.
Yep. That sounds nice. Mhmm. And a hash brown. I didn't have the hash brown.
It's so good. When I purchased a Christmas gift for you, was it last year or the year before? I can't remember. It was a shovel for your truck That was a couple years ago. Yeah.
Or a heater or something. No. You got me the the shovel. Okay. The green shovel.
And when it said it sends you an email confirmation, and then it has that little button that says, no. I don't wanna receive Promotional emails. Yeah. I clicked that button. I said, no.
Thank you. I don't wanna receive promotional emails. Right. And it sent me promotional email after promotional email after promotional email. And I had to unsubscribe from that at least 4 separate times before it finally stopped sending me truck supplies.
My new email Yeah? Is Beck has a Subaru. Yes. Yes. We bought him some car parts or some car stuff, and now I'm getting it's a Subi mod.
Now you're getting Subaru mod stuff. Awesome. No. It sucks. And here's here's why.
Because I pushed that button that says, no. Thank you. I don't want any promotional emails. Yeah. Why don't they listen?
Because you bought something, and they want you to come back and buy something else. I'm not gonna I'll probably buy something else, but I'll come to you when I'm ready to buy something. Uh-huh. Leave me alone. No.
That's not how email marketing works. I hate email marketing. So much garbage email. Me too. It's it's absurd.
Like, I'm looking let me look here. Just yesterday because I've I'm pretty up on cleaning out my inbox. But yesterday alone and Black Friday was the worst. Black Friday was pretty awful. That was terrible.
Here's the thing. On Christmas Day, it was pretty quiet. The email I mean, I got a few here and there, but emails were quiet on Christmas Day. That was glorious. What are you looking at?
I have received 15 so far just today. Today? Yeah. And I got stuff like a 30% off coupon inside for tools. It's a good one.
Look. 30% off. It's it's nice. Like, this is a good email. I like this email.
This one is because I was interested in the Wildlife Conservation Society at one point, so I still get their emails. What else do I have here? When did email turn into just marketing? Oh, it's been that way for a long time. No.
I got some fly fishing reels. Okay. But that stuff you're into. Shoes. I don't wanna be I don't wanna be getting these Subaru car emails.
I don't wanna be getting these I'll tell you what you do. Car parts. You gotta set up a burner email. I know you do. And then you just send all your junk there, and you never look at it.
But the the hard part is that you're gonna need it for Tracking purposes. Orders and stuff. So you're gonna need to go in there. But if you wanna keep your real email clean, that's what you gotta do. Or you set up a new email, and you don't use that one for stuff you don't want.
I see. I see what you're saying. And then you just you've you've already burned the house down with that one. You might as well just let it keep torsion and that's fine. Did have 2 emails, and one was like I said, I'm gonna keep all of the crap on this one, and I'm gonna keep this one clean.
Yeah. Didn't work, didn't. It didn't happen because I was losing so much stuff. Like, I was buying tickets and stuff, but then I was losing it. And so I said, well, I gotta start using this one.
Now you get promo emails. You don't use Gmail to run your Gmail, though. I don't understand that. You use Yahoo to run your Gmail, and that's so weird. Don't say that out loud.
It's weird. Don't don't That's a weird thing you do. Don't throw me under the bus like that. I've seen people use Gmail to run their Yahoo, but never the other way around. It's only because it was just on my old phone, and so that's what I always use.
That was 4 or 5 phones ago. Get it, but it's just I'm a creature of habit. Don't be That's a weird habit. Who does that? Shit.
Why? Why you gotta do this? You're the only person I know that uses Yahoo to run your Gmail. Super weird. Josh, don't call out all my secrets.
You gotta ask first. You gotta ask first. If I can talk about the fact that you use Yahoo to run your Gmail like a crazy person, what year is it? Hey. At least it's not Hotmail.
Do you run your Hotmail through your Yahoo? No. I don't have a Hotmail anymore. I used to. Then you ran it through your Yahoo?
No. Yeah. No. I never did. I never had the 2 of them together.
Why do you have your Gmail in there? I don't know. I don't know either. It's weird. Here's some good news for you, Josh.
What's the good news? The good news is you like Charlie Brown. That is good news. And you like to watch the Charlie Brown holiday specials? Yeah.
I didn't get to watch my, Charlie Brown Christmas. I don't know why. You had every opportunity to. You say wants a watch with me. Why you can't you watch it alone?
Go on. I watched a lot of holiday movies alone. Nobody wanted to watch mine, and I was like, fine. I'll watch it alone. I'm fine.
I'm happy. Go on. Okay. On on January 1st, New Year's Day Yeah. They are going to make race for your life, Charlie Brown.
What is that? It's gonna be made available to stream on Paramount plus. What is race for your life, Charlie Brown? It sounds like a scary thing. No.
No. No. No. It's not a holiday movie or anything, but it is it is an old one. It was made in 1977 Yeah.
And it hasn't been seen by a lot of people. It was only the 3rd Peanuts film to be released. Oh, wow. And it was not based on any specific comic strips by, Charles Schulz. K.
And it was just kind of an its own kind of story. He goes Charlie Brown goes to camp in the Rocky Mountains Okay. For a river rafting race. Okay. And while he and his friends are looking to fairly win the race, they're competing with a team of bullies who will use dirty tactics to try and win and to overcome the challenge.
Apparently, the bullies also have a bobcat named Brutus. Woah. Yeah. Charlie has to overcome his lack of confidence with the help of his friends, Snoopy and Lucy and Linus, Sally. Gang.
Yeah. Race for your life, Charlie Brown. Wow. Do you think they'll win? Well, yeah, I do.
Call me wacky, but I bet they win. I bet they do too, which is not actually true to life. Because guess what? Usually, the bullies win Oh. Because they play dirty.
Well, we'll see what happens if the good guys win. Now you can watch this where? On only on Paramount Plus. I don't have that. I know we don't.
A lot of people don't have Paramount. Who has Paramount Plus? Nobody has Paramount Plus. Somebody does. Race for your life, Charlie Brown.
Okay. I didn't know that was a movie. No. A lot of people don't. This is overlooked one.
It was like I said, it was made in 1977, and it hasn't been seen by very many people. So if you're into it A Paramount family favorite. This one is? That's what it says. Nobody's even seen it.
Race for your life, Charlie Brown, a Paramount family favorite. Okay. Well, now I gotta watch that. I'll watch that one with you. No.
You won't. Why won't I? Because I'll I can watch it by myself. You watch lots of stuff by yourself. I've heard about it.
So yesterday afternoon, we had to run some errands. We went and did some returns Yep. And had to I had to run, you know, pick up a prescription. There's a lot of stuff going on. Just adulting.
And, we we were gonna take the kids with us, and our 20 year old son was like, I'm driving. I'm gonna drive. I wanna drive my car. I tried to call shotgun. That didn't matter, because I don't like to be in front.
Was like, no. I'm a sit up front. Yeah. I don't like to be in front. So you and I When he's driving.
Got chauffeured around town in the back seat, of of our son's car. Now here's the thing. He's got this little hatchback thing. So when you're sitting in the back, you are right on the axle. Yes.
You sit on the back wheels. Bumpy ride. It's it's and he's got, like, a little sporty car, and it's got coilovers and all this stuff. Yeah. So it's a I don't know what you just said.
It's it's not designed for a smooth ride. It's designed for performance, and it performs, but it is not comfortable. Well, and I remember we took our mom, my mom, in that, and she's 74. So how old is my mom? 73, 74?
And she rode in the back seat, and she was like, oh. And she was all shaken up. And that was in Utah too. Right? Yeah.
Driving her around in the streets of, Utah downtown. I just kept my head down because I didn't I don't like to look. Well, that's what that's how you go through the roundabouts when whenever you're a passenger. You look when you're driving, but when you're a passenger, you're like, no. I'm a hide my face.
I'm not even gonna pay attention. I gotta I gotta be somewhere else as you navigate this thing. I don't like roundabouts. Yeah. I don't think anybody does that right.
Putting in more of them all the time. I know. You get to have more and more of that experience. Know why why they keep putting those in? There are so many better ways.
Put in 4 way stops. Please put in some lights. They're supposed to be more efficient. I hate them. I will avoid them at all costs.
But you can't I know. Now there are places you can't even get to without hitting 2 or 3 of them. Right next to a high school where people are learning how to drive. Yeah. Great place for them.
Makes sense. No. It does. Learn how to drive through it. Anyway, it was it was an interesting time being in the back seat and not being in control of the vehicle.
I prefer to drive. Do you? Absolutely. Why? I just do.
I don't like being completely out of control like that in a vehicle. In this day and age, these crazy drivers no way. No way indeed. Yeah. I'd like to just keep my head down and not pay attention.
Whatever happens, I guess, is gonna happen. That's true. Whether you're driving or not, whatever happens is gonna happen. But I would prefer to be at least in a little bit control of the situation. You get a little bit too close to cars.
Alright. Here we go. And you drive real quick. Alright. Enough.
Enough. Enough. I was just looking at Instagram, and I saw this post that said guilt is canceled this holiday season. Hey. There you go.
What are we not feeling guilty about? Here's some things you should not feel guilty about. K. Canceling plans to hang out by yourself. Don't feel guilty about that.
Okay. How much festive food you enjoyed. Don't feel guilty about that. That's right. The festivities roll on.
We're not done yet. January is not here. New Year's resolutions aren't here. Keep eating that festive food. That's what I'm saying.
Buying gifts for yourself. Treat yourself. I am. I'm gonna buy that nose warmer for myself. Alright.
And just simply saying no. Don't feel guilty. Yeah. You should be able to set boundaries and feel comfortable with that. I am not gonna feel bad about the festive food that I've partaken.
All of the festive food that I've festive foods partake in. E even if they're just sitting on the piano when you walk by. Festive foods. What are you suggesting? I suggest nothing.
Did I eat some of the chocolate? Some of? Interesting choice of words. Yeah. It is.
Some of. I ate some of them. I didn't eat all of them, did I? I left you some. No.
Yes? No. Yes. We've already had this. We have already had this argument.
Conversation, not argument. There's no arguing. Yeah. I ate them. Yeah.
Some of them. All but 2. No. No. Now you're lying.
I there were more in that box than just 2. We've already had this conversation. We're not gonna rehash this. I won't feel guilty about eating festive foods. Don't.
Festive foods. All of them. That's why A whole box. That's why today I wore an oversized sweatshirt Uh-huh. So that I could just be warm and cozy.
Festive. Festive. This is my festive attire. Right. Festive foodwear.
Yes. Well done. I like it. It's not fat pants. It's festive foodwear.
What did I just ask you? I I said, oh, hey. We need to go to the gym. Yeah. I said that maybe 10 minutes ago.
Mhmm. I'm already thinking about New Year's wrestling. Now you're dragging me there. You said I need to go there is what you said. That's a quote.
You didn't say we No. We don't Or you should come with me or you need to go to You should come with me, but I'm not gonna force you to go. You just said, I need to go there. Yeah. Yeah.
I do. Have fun. I've had a lot of festive food. Festive foodware. And I will not feel guilty about it, but I am gonna probably make a change in the New Year.
That's a good idea. But until then, I'm gonna keep eating some festive food. Right. Because the festivities are not done. And it's not gonna eat itself.
It's on that counter. It the New Year isn't here. It's still Hanukkah. There's still lots of stuff going on. I know.
Festive foods. Yep. Yep. A lot of it. So Christmas is not over for you.
It's not? No. What what's left? Well, I ordered something that I was gonna tuck inside your stocking. Oh.
And it was supposed to get here before Christmas when I ordered it. Okay. And then it said, maybe maybe it'll get there by Christmas. Okay. And then it said, no.
Most most definitely will not get there by Christmas. Was it, imported? No. But then No. But then it said yesterday that it was supposed to arrive by 30th.
K. And it's not even that exciting, and so I feel bad that I've made you wait this long before. Got me all hyped up. No. It's not that exciting.
Okay. But I'm still hyped up. But it's going to arrive today. It is out for delivery. What?
It should be arriving by 8 PM tonight. Well, how about it? Tuck it in your stocking, and you have gonna have to go look in your stocking for it. Sweet. So So I'm I'm excited.
I don't know what to expect. I expect a lot. No. Don't. It's not that exciting.
High expectations. You're gonna like it. I mean, that's something that you like, but it's not that exciting. I bet it's gonna be amazing because you thought of it, and then you decided to get it for me. So It'd be cool if somebody bought a nose warmer for me.
Enough with the nose warmer. Just buy it. Wrap it, put a tag on it, unwrap it, be used. I just told you how to make it a gift. Put it in a little bag with some tissue paper.
Give it to yourself and go, look. A gift for me. I am gonna give it twice. I am gonna buy it for myself, and then I'm gonna say, it's a gift. And so then it'll give you that little gift tag in there that said, somebody bought you a gift, and I'm gonna say, oh, who was thinking of me?
A me to me. Nose warmer. A me to me. Yeah. It's a gift from me to me.
Yay. And it is time for would you rather this or that New Year's edition. Would you rather live this past year all over again or skip ahead 5 years? Ahead. Ahead.
Yep. Yeah. Wasn't a great year. Well, no. It was a fine year.
It was just fine. I just don't wanna go back and do it again. I got I I want new experience. I've I've already done that. But you're gonna skip ahead 5 years.
I don't know what what I'll miss in the gap between now and 5 years now. Will be 20. Yeah. Our son will be 25. I get the risk.
47. No. I understand. I understand. And is it just a blip and I'm there, or is it just, like, a fast forward and I can, like, try and, like No.
Keep up? It's just a blip and you're there. And then you have no idea what's happened. No. You have memories, but you didn't live it.
Weird. I don't know what to do with this. I don't like the the the fast forward without any 5 years. 5 years is a long time to fast forward. But I also don't wanna go backwards to the Pacific.
That there was anything wrong with 24. I just don't wanna go But you could go backwards and maybe change some things. You didn't say that, and you can't change the past. You can only change the future. Is this your game or mine?
I'm just telling you the way time travel works. You can't change the past. It has too much of a ripple effect. Okay. The butterfly effect and all that.
You just can't you can't make that you can't do it. I guess I'm feedback from the teacher. I'd feel like an observer. Yeah. You would just have to yeah.
And do I know what I know now, or am I reliving it again for the first time? See, those are different questions. Those are different questions. Let's say you know what you know now, and you're just a witnesser. You just have to watch it all happen.
Boy. Not making any changes. So you know I'm gonna go to the hospital soon. That's what I'm saying. Like, there's a bunch of garbage that I don't wanna deal with again.
Yeah. Yeah. I had a surgery. Yeah. There was a lot of medical stuff this year.
I don't wanna deal with all that. Wanna deal with any of that. I might skip ahead also just because I don't wanna go relive all that again. Oh, what's done is done. That's what I mean.
So I wanna go forward, but I also I don't wanna miss out on the 5 years. I wanna just I wanna be ahead 5 years from now without having to live through it, but then also to live through it. It makes I can't have what I want, so that's a bad one. That is a bad one. I picked a weird one.
Mhmm. Sorry. No. Sorry, everybody. Sorry.
What's up? What's what's that look? You just always you you looked at me like, like, well, I don't know what you're talking about. You will because you always just look at me and nod, like, okay. Go ahead and talk.
And Go for it. No. This is your this is your Go wild. No. This is the one that you do.
This is? Yeah. The one Yes. That you've allotted to me. I'm sorry.
Here. You can have this one. No. That's not even how it works. That's what it sounds like.
Here. Okay. Josh, do you think maybe we've been spending too much holiday time together? A lot of time together. I think there might have been a lot of time together.
I don't think it's it's bad. I'm not mad about it at all. It's you're you're a fun person to be around. We got asked the other day if, if if we sit around just laughing at each other, and you were telling the kids about it yesterday, and our daughter you were helping her curl her hair. Yeah.
And you're like, we got asked if we just sit around and laugh around the dinner table, if we just, you know, whatever. And she goes, yeah. Like and it's annoying. I can't handle being happy. Yeah.
Can we do something different maybe? Let's be sad around the dinner table. My bad. Hey. It's Friday.
