01:03:25,291 but I swear every parent has a list and 120 01:03:25,291 --> 01:03:27,541 checks it like 40,000 times. 121 01:03:27,791 --> 01:03:28,916 I think our list is probably longer. 122 01:03:29,500 --> 01:03:30,166 It might be. 123 01:03:30,166 --> 01:03:31,333 Than all the children in the world. 124 01:03:31,541 --> 01:03:32,750 All the children in the world. 125 01:03:32,750 --> 01:03:34,750 Even though his squirrel goes down to the 126 01:03:34,750 --> 01:03:35,666 ground and out the door. 127 01:03:36,500 --> 01:03:38,500 I sometimes feel like our squirrel goes 128 01:03:38,500 --> 01:03:39,375 all the way down to the 129 01:03:39,375 --> 01:03:40,458 ground and out the door. 130 01:03:40,625 --> 01:03:42,375 Yeah, just a little bit further than his. 131

01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,583 I think every parent feels that way. 135 01:03:50,916 --> 01:03:51,083 Yeah. 136 01:03:51,083 --> 01:03:51,791 Oh yeah, for sure. 137 01:03:52,000 --> 01:03:54,041 It's

ago. 144 01:04:04,500 --> 01:04:06,625 And we forgot to get off the chaos train 145 01:04:06,625 --> 01:04:08,125 long enough to actually get that one 146 01:04:08,125 --> 01:04:12,458 edited and published, I guess. 147 01:04:12,958 --> 01:04:14,916 Hey, that may have been one of our best. 148 01:04:15,166 --> 01:04:15,500 Who knows? 149 01:04:15,875 --> 01:04:16,500 Yeah, but nobody will 150

--> 01:04:23,791 We shot it in the van. 154 01:04:23,791 --> 01:04:25,125 Yeah, we actually shot it so it wasn't 155 01:04:25,125 --> 01:04:25,875 even in the studio 156 01:04:25,875 --> 01:04:27,583 because we weren't home long 157 01:04:27,583 --> 01:04:28,916 enough to be in the studio. 158 01:04:29,125 --> 01:04:30,000 That's right, that's right. 159 01:04:30,208 --> 01:04:32,375 And our

01:04:46,291 --> 01:04:46,750 I did. 167 01:04:47,500 --> 01:04:48,125 I did. 168 01:04:48,458 --> 01:04:50,625 It was, you know, 169 01:04:51,583 --> 01:04:53,000 mentally, like it was hard. 170 01:04:53,458 --> 01:04:55,583 It was hard to get back up, 171 01:04:55,583 --> 01:04:57,541 probably more so than physically. 172 01:04:58,500 --> 01:05:02,250 I just had to figure out how to ski, like 173 01:05:02,250 --> 01:05:04,250 with a knee that 174 01:05:04,250 --> 01:05:07,000 wasn't like the, yeah, it 175 01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:08,166 was just a little bit different. 176 01:05:08,416 --> 01:05:09,500 So I just had to change 177 01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:10,500 up my ski a little bit. 178 01:05:10,500 --> 01:05:13,041 Well, you kept saying things like, it's 179 01:05:13,041 --> 01:05:14,250 just not strong, I'm not strong enough. 180 01:05:14,250 --> 01:05:15,000 I'm like, you are. 181 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:16,125 I was like, you're actually, that knee is 182 01:05:16,125 --> 01:05:17,708 actually stronger than your other one is. 183 01:05:17,708 --> 01:05:18,500 And I just kept telling 184 01:05:18,500 --> 01:05:20,541 you, like, you know how to ski. 185 01:05:20,833 --> 01:05:24,125 I understand there's reservation there. 186 01:05:24,666 --> 01:05:25,500 It's got to be scary. 187 01:05:25,916 --> 01:05:27,375 And you made the point several times. 188 01:05:27,375 --> 01:05:29,583 It's not like you, it's not like you tore 189 01:05:29,583 --> 01:05:30,541 your ACL playing football. 190 01:05:30,916 --> 01:05:31,083 Right. 191 01:05:31,458 --> 01:05:33,458 I tore it skiing. 192 01:05:34,083 --> 01:05:37,833 Like, so there's just that whole trauma 193 01:05:37,833 --> 01:05:39,583 is probably too strong of a word. 194 01:05:39,583 --> 01:05:42,833 But I mean, it's a whole negative feeling 195 01:05:42,833 --> 01:05:43,791 of all of it, you 196 01:05:43,791 --> 01:05:44,958 know, of like, oh my God. 197 01:05:45,041 --> 01:05:48,416

01:05:59,041 I mean, it was, oh man. 209 01:05:59,291 --> 01:06:00,958 I mean, I kept thinking about it this 210 01:06:00,958 --> 01:06:02,583 Christmas, like as I was 211 01:06:02,583 --> 01:06:04,375 moving around the kitchen or 212 01:06:04,375 --> 01:06:05,916 whatever and I was like, last year I had 213 01:06:05,916 --> 01:06:07,000 to do all of this on crutches. 214 01:06:07,333 --> 01:06:08,708 How in the world did I even do that? 215 01:06:09,041 --> 01:06:09,250 Yeah. 216 01:06:10,875 --> 01:06:13,500 Well, I have a lot easier. 217 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:15,916 Next two months. 218 01:06:17,166 --> 01:06:21,791 Because when you were down to, you can, 219 01:06:22,125 --> 01:06:23,083 there's not a lot you could 220 01:06:23,083 --> 01:06:24,083 do on your own for a while. 221 01:06:24,416 --> 01:06:24,666 No. 222 01:06:24,666 --> 01:06:25,958 And the whole family stepped up. 223 01:06:25,958 --> 01:06:26,291 Oh yeah. 224 01:06:26,291 --> 01:06:27,000 We all had a lot more 225 01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:27,833 titties, which was fine. 226 01:06:28,291 --> 01:06:28,833 No big deal. 227 01:06:29,083 --> 01:06:31,041 But back to, it was great. 228 01:06:31,041 --> 01:06:31,625 You got on. 229 01:06:31,833 --> 01:06:33,375 You know, the first, first off, Mother 230 01:06:33,375 --> 01:06:34,291 Nature did not help. 231 01:06:34,625 --> 01:06:36,958 One thing we talked about in the last 232 01:06:36,958 --> 01:06:39,125 podcast that never even made it to air. 233 01:06:39,125 --> 01:06:39,333 Yeah. 234 01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,166 Was the fact that we're like, it was, I 235 01:06:42,166 --> 01:06:42,958 think it was Thursday, 236 01:06:43,958 --> 01:06:44,916 Wednesday or Thursday we 237 01:06:44,916 --> 01:06:45,708 shot it. 238 01:06:46,375 --> 01:06:47,416 And usually we put out 239 01:06:47,416 --> 01:06:48,750 the highlights on Thursday. 240 01:06:48,750 --> 01:06:49,166 It was Thursday. 241 01:06:49,416 --> 01:06:50,708 Oh, we shot it when I 242 01:06:50,708 --> 01:06:52,000 usually put out the highlights. 243 01:06:52,500 --> 01:06:52,666 Yeah. 244 01:06:52,666 --> 01:06:54,000 So we were way behind. 245 01:06:54,916 --> 01:06:56,500 And then the next day when we were 246 01:06:56,500 --> 01:06:57,666 supposed, when I usually 247 01:06:57,666 --> 01:06:59,708 publish the actual episode, 248 01:07:00,416 --> 01:07:01,416 that was the day we were actually, 249 01:07:01,916 --> 01:07:03,750 everybody had school and I 250 01:07:03,750 --> 01:07:04,750 had a meeting all morning. 251 01:07:05,416 --> 01:07:06,958 You actually had the day off to catch up 252 01:07:06,958 --> 01:07:07,833 on packing and get ready 253 01:07:07,833 --> 01:07:08,750 to go, but we're leaving. 254 01:07:10,041 --> 01:07:11,458 For the ski trip on Friday. 255 01:07:11,458 --> 01:07:12,375 So that next day. 256 01:07:12,750 --> 01:07:13,000 Yeah. 257 01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:15,000 And on that podcast that we had never 258 01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:16,125 made it to air, we were 259 01:07:16,125 --> 01:07:16,958 talking about it like, 260 01:07:16,958 --> 01:07:19,375 well, there's no snow where we're 261 01:07:19,375 --> 01:07:20,000 supposed to be going. 262 01:07:20,208 --> 01:07:20,416 Then. 263 01:07:21,291 --> 01:07:21,500 Like. 264 01:07:22,375 --> 01:07:23,000 We were supposed, we 265 01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:23,750 were going to go to Tahoe. 266 01:07:23,750 --> 01:07:24,708 We'd never been to Tahoe before. 267 01:07:25,208 --> 01:07:25,416 Right. 268 01:07:25,458 --> 01:07:27,833 And we were watching the snowfall and 269 01:07:27,833 --> 01:07:29,750 probably way too late to watch it. 270 01:07:30,083 --> 01:07:30,500 I know. 271 01:07:30,833 --> 01:07:32,041 Because we always kind of push it with 272 01:07:32,041 --> 01:07:34,000 these early season ski 273 01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:34,875 vacations, but we've done 274 01:07:34,875 --> 01:07:35,916 it every year and it's worked. 275 01:07:36,333 --> 01:07:36,708 It has. 276 01:07:37,333 --> 01:07:37,541 Yeah. 277 01:07:37,958 --> 01:07:38,625 Not that we've had the 278 01:07:38,625 --> 01:07:40,000 best snow every time. 279 01:07:40,500 --> 01:07:40,708 No. 280 01:07:41,041 --> 01:07:43,333 And very rarely are all the runs open, 281 01:07:43,333 --> 01:07:43,875 but there's always 282 01:07:43,875 --> 01:07:46,208 enough that maybe the lines 283 01:07:46,208 --> 01:07:47,333 are a little longer, maybe 284 01:07:47,333 --> 01:07:49,833 not, but it's always okay. 285 01:07:49,833 --> 01:07:50,833 It's always expanding though. 286 01:07:50,833 --> 01:07:52,166 It's like last year we went to Keystone, 287 01:07:53,083 --> 01:07:54,208 you know, where that's 288 01:07:54,208 --> 01:07:54,958 not, you know, we don't 289 01:07:54,958 --> 01:07:55,500 talk about. 290 01:07:55,791 --> 01:07:56,458 We don't talk about Keystone. 291 01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:57,166 Yeah. 292 01:07:59,333 --> 01:08:01,541 When we were first watching it, like the 293 01:08:01,541 --> 01:08:02,500 day, like the week we 294 01:08:02,500 --> 01:08:03,750 were going, it was like 30 295 01:08:03,958 --> 01:08:04,416 runs were open. 296 01:08:04,666 --> 01:08:04,875 Yeah. 297 01:08:05,500 --> 01:08:06,583 48 runs were open. 298 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:07,875 Two runs were open. 299 01:08:08,083 --> 01:08:08,291 Yeah. 300 01:08:08,500 --> 01:08:09,083 And, you know, they're 301 01:08:09,083 --> 01:08:10,125 opening more and more lifts. 302 01:08:10,125 --> 01:08:11,125 So you could see the 303 01:08:11,125 --> 01:08:12,375 mountain was getting snow. 304 01:08:12,666 --> 01:08:13,000 Yeah. 305 01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:15,041 And it was opening up and opening up. 306 01:08:15,041 --> 01:08:15,250 Yeah. 307 01:08:15,583 --> 01:08:18,708 Well, that's a good kind of a checkpoint 308 01:08:18,708 --> 01:08:20,000 for we were going to 309 01:08:20,000 --> 01:08:22,125 Tahoe and the night we were 310 01:08:22,125 --> 01:08:24,416 doing, the night we were looking at it, 311 01:08:24,708 --> 01:08:25,291 the night before, I 312 01:08:25,291 --> 01:08:27,250 guess, four runs were open. 313 01:08:28,166 --> 01:08:28,375 Four. 314 01:08:28,625 --> 01:08:30,291 Which was really just one run. 315 01:08:30,625 --> 01:08:30,708 Yeah. 316 01:08:30,708 --> 01:08:31,208 For the record. 317 01:08:31,625 --> 01:08:33,208 I looked it up to see on the map, like 318 01:08:33,208 --> 01:08:33,958 what are these runs? 319 01:08:34,166 --> 01:08:35,750 So it was basically one lift. 320 01:08:35,750 --> 01:08:36,500 I went to the top. 321 01:08:36,750 --> 01:08:39,625 It was a blue at the top that turned into 322 01:08:39,625 --> 01:08:41,750 a green, like an upper green. 323 01:08:42,166 --> 01:08:43,541 If you're familiar with skiing, it's 324 01:08:43,541 --> 01:08:44,833 usually like upper 325 01:08:44,833 --> 01:08:46,875 Megan or upper Christmas. 326 01:08:47,041 --> 01:08:47,500 Yeah. 327 01:08:47,500 --> 01:08:49,250 You know, and then and then there's lower 328 01:08:49,250 --> 01:08:51,125 Christmas, which is still the same run. 329 01:08:51,125 --> 01:08:52,375 It's just lower and upper. 330 01:08:52,375 --> 01:08:52,791 Right. 331 01:08:52,791 --> 01:08:53,000 Right. 332 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:53,958 Maybe like something else 333 01:08:53,958 --> 01:08:55,666 joined it or, you know, yeah. 334 01:08:55,708 --> 01:08:56,416 And so those were the 335 01:08:56,416 --> 01:08:57,458 four ones that were open. 336 01:08:57,458 --> 01:08:58,875 So it was one run down 337 01:08:58,875 --> 01:09:00,375 the middle of the ski slope. 338 01:09:00,833 --> 01:09:02,958 And then by the next morning, it had 339 01:09:02,958 --> 01:09:04,000 already gone down to 340 01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,041 three out of like one hundred 341 01:09:06,041 --> 01:09:06,666 and forty. 342 01:09:07,291 --> 01:09:07,583 Right. 343 01:09:07,583 --> 01:09:09,291 It's not like this is a twelve, you know, 344 01:09:09,500 --> 01:09:11,083 twelve runs, you know. 345 01:09:11,291 --> 01:09:11,500 Right. 346 01:09:11,916 --> 01:09:12,083 Right. 347 01:09:12,333 --> 01:09:13,416 This is not like Midwest. 348 01:09:13,416 --> 01:09:14,041 So it's actually 349 01:09:14,041 --> 01:09:16,208 shrinking and you can see it. 350 01:09:16,208 --> 01:09:17,541 They actually have webcams there. 351 01:09:17,791 --> 01:09:20,041 So I kept looking at the webcams and just 352 01:09:20,041 --> 01:09:21,333 saying there's no way. 353 01:09:21,666 --> 01:09:21,916 Yeah. 354 01:09:22,666 --> 01:09:23,208 I just know our 355 01:09:23,208 --> 01:09:24,833 family well enough to that. 356 01:09:24,833 --> 01:09:25,041 Sure. 357 01:09:25,041 --> 01:09:25,625 We can go. 358 01:09:25,625 --> 01:09:26,500 We can enjoy Tahoe. 359 01:09:26,500 --> 01:09:27,625 I'm sure it's beautiful there. 360 01:09:27,625 --> 01:09:28,375 I'm sure it's. 361 01:09:30,583 --> 01:09:32,250 I'm like, we're going to be mad because 362 01:09:32,250 --> 01:09:33,166 one thing we did this 363 01:09:33,166 --> 01:09:34,666 year is a few of us. 364 01:09:34,916 --> 01:09:36,250 We actually finally got 365 01:09:36,250 --> 01:09:38,000 invested in our own ski equipment. 366 01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:38,208 Right. 367 01:09:38,416 --> 01:09:39,750 We have our own boots, our own skis. 368 01:09:40,333 --> 01:09:41,416 We've been putting it off for a while. 369 01:09:41,625 --> 01:09:42,583 Our oldest is big enough. 370 01:09:42,583 --> 01:09:43,541 He stopped growing and 371 01:09:43,541 --> 01:09:45,000 he's been wanting it forever. 372 01:09:45,916 --> 01:09:46,375 So badly. 373 01:09:46,916 --> 01:09:47,625 By the way, he's got the 374 01:09:47,625 --> 01:09:48,958 nicest skis out of all of us. 375 01:09:49,250 --> 01:09:49,583 Of course he does. 376 01:09:49,916 --> 01:09:50,791 But it means more to 377 01:09:50,791 --> 01:09:52,083 him, which is rightfully so.

Like it's so hard. 598 01:15:28,291 --> 01:15:30,041 It takes some of that enjoyment. 599 01:15:30,375 --> 01:15:31,291 I don't want to say it ruins it, but it 600 01:15:31,291 --> 01:15:32,000 took some of the enjoyment 601 01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:32,875 out because it was always 602 01:15:32,875 --> 01:15:33,708 like, we got to go, we 603 01:15:33,708 --> 01:15:34,500 got to go, we got to go.

01:15:38,833 --> 01:15:39,333 breakfast. 608 01:15:39,333 --> 01:15:41,666 And then mom's always late. 609 01:15:41,666 --> 01:15:43,500 It's like, oh my gosh, 610 01:15:43,500 --> 01:15:44,666 please

have, I 614 01:15:48,208 --> 01:15:49,375 mean, you do kick great 615 01:15:49,375 --> 01:15:51,791 eggs and bacon most mornings, 616 01:15:51,791 --> 01:15:52,708 like sausage or whatever. 617 01:15:52,708 --> 01:15:55,000 I mean, it's not a, I mean, it's cooked, 618 01:15:55,291 --> 01:15:55,916 but honestly, we could 619 01:15:55,916 --> 01:15:57,375 have cereal most mornings, 620 01:15:57,375 --> 01:15:58,416 I think, and we'd be fine. 621 01:15:58,750 --> 01:16:01,333 I mean, just to throw that out there, not 622 01:16:01,333 --> 01:16:02,708 that we need to get on there any earlier. 623 01:16:02,916 --> 01:16:03,916 Now I was pretty good with it. 624 01:16:03,916 --> 01:16:05,000 A lot of times it was me because it was 625 01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:05,583 like, I want to make sure 626 01:16:05,583 --> 01:16:06,458 we get our money's worth. 627 01:16:06,458 --> 01:16:07,333 We're only here for three days. 628 01:16:07,375 --> 01:16:09,541 I want to get as much skiing as we can. 629 01:16:10,458 --> 01:16:11,916 You know, and this one was different too, 630 01:16:11,916 --> 01:16:14,041 because you were, you 631 01:16:14,041 --> 01:16:16,166 were relearning to trust 632 01:16:16,208 --> 01:16:17,500 yourself on skis again. 633 01:16:18,916 --> 01:16:20,750 Trust that your knee was indeed strong 634 01:16:20,750 --> 01:16:22,166 enough and that you could 635 01:16:22,166 --> 01:16:24,000 catch a tip here or there 636 01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:26,000 and still, you know, recover. 637 01:16:26,375 --> 01:16:26,541 Yeah. 638 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:27,208 Yeah. 639 01:16:27,250 --> 01:16:29,500 And not tear any CEL and 640 01:16:29,500 --> 01:16:31,333 MCL and everything else. 641 01:16:31,333 --> 01:16:31,500 Yeah. 642 01:16:32,000 --> 01:16:32,625 All that stuff. 643 01:16:32,625 --> 01:16:32,833 Yeah. 644 01:16:33,333 --> 01:16:34,250 And I think I realized 645 01:16:34,250 --> 01:16:35,416 like I can trust myself. 646 01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,125 I don't like other skiers still. 647 01:16:39,291 --> 01:16:40,500 That was the hardest thing. 648 01:16:40,875 --> 01:16:42,208 That is still the hardest thing. 649 01:16:42,208 --> 01:16:43,666 I was like, if someone even comes near 650 01:16:43,666 --> 01:16:45,500 me, I'm freaking out. 651 01:16:46,041 --> 01:16:47,875 Like don't come near me. 652 01:16:47,875 --> 01:16:50,416 And that's what our kids were doing, like 653 01:16:50,416 --> 01:16:51,833 on the blues, because 654 01:16:51,833 --> 01:16:52,583 there were so many people 655 01:16:52,583 --> 01:16:53,208 that aren't blues that 656 01:16:53,208 --> 01:16:54,291 shouldn't be on blues. 657 01:16:54,791 --> 01:16:55,458 If you're learning. 658 01:16:55,750 --> 01:16:56,500 I might have been one of 659 01:16:56,500 --> 01:16:58,000 those this year, but yeah. 660 01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:58,833 And I get it. 661 01:16:59,041 --> 01:17:01,166 There weren't enough really open that we 662 01:17:01,166 --> 01:17:02,916 could go further into the mountains. 663 01:17:03,166 --> 01:17:04,333 And because we're all trying 664 01:17:04,333 --> 01:17:05,583 to kind of stay closer to you. 665 01:17:06,041 --> 01:17:06,250 Yeah. 666 01:17:06,291 --> 01:17:08,125 I spent half a day each day just on 667 01:17:08,125 --> 01:17:09,708 greens, mostly skiing 668 01:17:09,708 --> 01:17:11,041 backwards, trying to make sure, 669 01:17:11,458 --> 01:17:13,541 well, working on my backwards skiing and 670 01:17:13,541 --> 01:17:15,083 making sure people didn't run into you. 671 01:17:15,666 --> 01:17:16,125 You know what I mean? 672 01:17:16,500 --> 01:17:16,625 Yeah. 673 01:17:16,625 --> 01:17:17,083 I was being your 674 01:17:17,083 --> 01:17:18,166 bodyguard for some of that. 675 01:17:18,416 --> 01:17:20,750 But yeah, gosh, there are so many people 676 01:17:20,750 --> 01:17:22,375 on blues shouldn't be. 677 01:17:22,833 --> 01:17:23,041 Yeah. 678 01:17:23,125 --> 01:17:24,083 And because of that, our kids are just 679 01:17:24,083 --> 01:17:25,000 bobbing and weaving. 680 01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:25,833 I mean, there was one time, like I 681 01:17:25,833 --> 01:17:26,875 actually thought it was kind of fun. 682 01:17:26,875 --> 01:17:28,000 I was just like, like 683 01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,875 bobbing and weaving between people. 684 01:17:29,916 --> 01:17:31,875 You know, I mean, hopefully not close 685 01:17:31,875 --> 01:17:33,708 enough that I was ever in danger. 686 01:17:34,083 --> 01:17:35,833 They were all stationary, but and 687 01:17:35,833 --> 01:17:36,791 everybody knows that

01:19:52,125 And this, I mean, what you popped your 775 01:19:52,125 --> 01:19:53,041 skis off, walked across 776 01:19:53,041 --> 01:19:54,625 the bridge and you're at 777 01:19:55,208 --> 01:19:56,125 the backside of the complex. 778 01:19:56,125 --> 01:19:57,166 You were at the backside of the complex. 779 01:19:57,458 --> 01:19:58,291 Like it was beautiful. 780 01:19:58,291 -->

last two days. 788 01:20:08,333 --> 01:20:09,208 We were there and it 789 01:20:09,208 --> 01:20:11,208 was quickly losing snow. 790 01:20:11,791 --> 01:20:14,250 Yeah, I would say the days after probably 791 01:20:14,250 --> 01:20:16,500 weren't like after we left. 792 01:20:16,500 --> 01:20:17,416 I don't know that it was 793 01:20:17,416 --> 01:20:18,833 probably melted quite a bit. 794 01:20:19,166 --> 01:20:19,958 Yeah, I don't know. 795 01:20:19,958 --> 01:20:22,125 I'm sure they got four inches or four 796 01:20:22,125 --> 01:20:24,166 feet of snow as soon as we left. 797 01:20:24,458 --> 01:20:26,375 Made for driving out easier too though. 798 01:20:26,583 --> 01:20:26,875 I did. 799 01:20:27,541 --> 01:20:28,375 I mean, we've had those 800 01:20:28,375 --> 01:20:29,875 white knuckle trips back. 801 01:20:31,291 --> 01:20:33,875 I mean, yeah, the one that I always think 802 01:20:33,875 --> 01:20:34,625 of and we had left 803 01:20:34,625 --> 01:20:36,083 like three in the morning 804 01:20:36,166 --> 01:20:37,541 to beat the snowfall. 805 01:20:37,541 --> 01:20:40,500 I mean, it was, it was some ungodly hour 806 01:20:40,500 --> 01:20:41,291 that nobody should 807 01:20:41,291 --> 01:20:42,625 actually be awake that we left 808 01:20:42,750 --> 01:20:44,500 and it was just you and I, kids all 809 01:20:44,500 --> 01:20:45,958 sleeping in the back and 810 01:20:45,958 --> 01:20:47,625 there was no way I was going 811 01:20:47,625 --> 01:20:48,458 to go back to sleep. 812 01:20:48,458 --> 01:20:50,750 Like the adrenaline probably lasted me 813 01:20:50,750 --> 01:20:52,000 six hours because as 814 01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:53,083 you're going over that veil 815 01:20:53,166 --> 01:20:56,375 pass and you're like, "Hun, if we stop, 816 01:20:57,041 --> 01:20:58,500 we're going backwards. 817 01:20:58,875 --> 01:21:00,666 I cannot go forwards." 818 01:21:00,666 --> 01:21:02,583 I was like, "We're going 819 01:21:02,583 --> 01:21:04,125 to die on the mountain." 820 01:21:04,666 --> 01:21:06,333 Yeah, we had a two-wheel drive car. 821 01:21:06,750 --> 01:21:07,833 That was the only thing 822 01:21:07,833 --> 01:21:09,291 that Hertz gave us, sedan. 823 01:21:10,458 --> 01:21:11,875 I mean, they should know better than that 824 01:21:11,875 --> 01:21:13,208 during ski season, but 825 01:21:13,208 --> 01:21:15,000 there was no upgrades. 826 01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:15,541 There was nothing else 827 01:21:15,541 --> 01:21:16,541 to get out of that one. 828 01:21:17,000 --> 01:21:17,666 So it was. 829 01:21:17,666 --> 01:21:19,333 It was like if we stopped, it was slick 830 01:21:19,333 --> 01:21:20,875 enough that I didn't think 831 01:21:20,875 --> 01:21:22,458 we'd be able to keep going. 832 01:21:22,500 --> 01:21:22,708 Yeah. 833 01:21:23,333 --> 01:21:23,541 Yeah. 834 01:21:23,541 --> 01:21:24,833 So that was a little white knuckler. 835 01:21:25,083 --> 01:21:28,625 And you are a very accomplished snow, not 836 01:21:28,625 --> 01:21:29,708 only just snowdriver, 837 01:21:30,250 --> 01:21:31,833 but mountain snowdriver. 838 01:21:31,833 --> 01:21:34,625 And I was just like, "Oh my gosh, if you 839 01:21:34,625 --> 01:21:35,500 are nervous about this." 840 01:21:35,500 --> 01:21:36,500 I have multiple medals, 841 01:21:36,500 --> 01:21:37,458 which she's referring to. 842 01:21:38,541 --> 01:21:40,125 Awards, accolades, certificates. 843 01:21:40,500 --> 01:21:42,250 There's people who have lived in the 844 01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:43,041 South their whole life 845 01:21:43,041 --> 01:21:44,291 that like if they see snow, 846 01:21:44,291 --> 01:21:44,875 they're going to freak out. 847 01:21:44,875 --> 01:21:46,208 I'm accomplished by experience. 848 01:21:46,500 --> 01:21:47,083 I've done a lot of it. 849 01:21:47,083 --> 01:21:48,000 You've done a lot of it. 850 01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:49,375 And I'm comfortable doing it, but I lived 851 01:21:49,375 --> 01:21:50,875 in Texas long enough that I white knuck a 852 01:21:50,875 --> 01:21:51,250 little bit. 853 01:21:51,791 --> 01:21:52,500 It's done. 854 01:21:52,500 --> 01:21:54,000 If it's slick at all, it scares me. 855 01:21:54,625 --> 01:21:56,083 To your point, other 856 01:21:56,083 --> 01:21:58,375 skiers are also other drivers. 857 01:21:59,875 --> 01:22:02,250 And I don't trust them either. 858 01:22:03,083 --> 01:22:03,625 You know what I mean? 859 01:22:03,958 --> 01:22:04,750 Because they're flying down. 860 01:22:04,750 --> 01:22:06,958 It's like if you catch that ice on a, I'm 861 01:22:06,958 --> 01:22:07,666 on the outside of a 862 01:22:07,666 --> 01:22:08,500 turn, you're on the inside 863 01:22:08,500 --> 01:22:09,541 and you can take me 864 01:22:09,541 --> 01:22:10,791 right off the road too. 865 01:22:11,291 --> 01:22:11,500 Yep. 866 01:22:11,666 --> 01:22:13,125 You know, so it's a little bit of a white 867 01:22:13,125 --> 01:22:14,250 knuckle when it comes to that. 868 01:22:14,500 --> 01:22:14,708 Yeah. 869 01:22:15,291 --> 01:22:16,500 But none of that this time. 870 01:22:16,958 --> 01:22:17,583 No, it was great. 871 01:22:18,208 --> 01:22:19,083 It's like beautiful pictures of the sun 872 01:22:19,083 --> 01:22:20,166 rises we drove home. 873 01:22:20,166 --> 01:22:20,583 We did. 874 01:22:21,250 --> 01:22:23,500 I got to make something out of all that 875 01:22:23,500 --> 01:22:24,333 at some point, I think. 876 01:22:24,541 --> 01:22:24,958 I know. 877 01:22:25,458 --> 01:22:25,916 It was fun. 878 01:22:26,500 --> 01:22:27,166 So it was great. 879 01:22:27,166 --> 01:22:28,875 It was totally redeemed. 880 01:22:29,958 --> 01:22:30,125 Totally redeemed. 881 01:22:31,416 --> 01:22:32,500 You did incredibly well. 882 01:22:32,500 --> 01:22:34,500 You made it to a blue the third day. 883 01:22:35,333 --> 01:22:36,000 Did two or three runs 884 01:22:36,000 --> 01:22:36,875 down the blue, I think? 885 01:22:36,958 --> 01:22:38,125 I did two runs down the blue. 886 01:22:38,125 --> 01:22:38,875 Two runs down the blue. 887 01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,000 It would have been, I say I probably 888 01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:42,500 could have done one 889 01:22:42,500 --> 01:22:43,833 more, but it was getting to 890 01:22:43,833 --> 01:22:45,333 the point that I'm like, I don't want to 891 01:22:45,333 --> 01:22:46,291 be, get halfway down 892 01:22:46,291 --> 01:22:48,250 and be like, because you 893 01:22:48,291 --> 01:22:50,083 get the most dangerous part 894 01:22:50,083 --> 01:22:52,208 is when your legs get tired. 895 01:22:52,875 --> 01:22:53,083 Yeah. 896 01:22:53,458 --> 01:22:56,250 And I was like, I felt my knee getting a 897 01:22:56,250 --> 01:22:57,541 little tired and I was 898 01:22:57,541 --> 01:22:59,541 like, I just don't want to 899 01:22:59,541 --> 01:23:00,416 get stuck up there. 900 01:23:00,416 --> 01:23:02,458 And now I have like half a run to go 901 01:23:02,458 --> 01:23:03,625 because it was a long blue. 902 01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:04,166 Yeah. 903 01:23:04,500 --> 01:23:06,208 I don't want to get stuck with half a run 904 01:23:06,208 --> 01:23:09,833 and not feeling like I'm in control. 905 01:23:10,125 --> 01:23:10,333 Right. 906 01:23:10,916 --> 01:23:11,083 Right. 907 01:23:11,500 --> 01:23:12,916 I've skied enough to know that the ones 908 01:23:12,916 --> 01:23:14,083 who are out of control 909 01:23:14,083 --> 01:23:16,833 and tired are the most 910 01:23:17,208 --> 01:23:18,166 dangerous skiers. 911 01:23:18,541 --> 01:23:19,750 And our kids were even saying that too. 912 01:23:20,500 --> 01:23:22,541 We're going to potentially go do a 913 01:23:22,541 --> 01:23:23,000 different part of the 914 01:23:23,000 --> 01:23:23,833 mountain and try to do some of 915 01:23:23,833 --> 01:23:25,791 the blacks later that day. 916 01:23:25,791 --> 01:23:27,083 Oh, I'm surprised we're in the open. 917 01:23:27,625 --> 01:23:27,791 Yeah. 918 01:23:27,791 --> 01:23:29,833 There's one lift all the way over to the 919 01:23:29,833 --> 01:23:30,458 other side of the mountain. 920 01:23:31,291 --> 01:23:32,083 All blacks, it would have 921 01:23:32,083 --> 01:23:33,000 been tough to make it back. 922 01:23:33,416 --> 01:23:34,000 I mean, hopefully we 923 01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:34,708 could have made it back. 924 01:23:35,125 --> 01:23:37,958 But they said their legs were probably 925 01:23:37,958 --> 01:23:39,041 too tired to do that. 926 01:23:39,041 --> 01:23:40,666 So they know, which was good. 927 01:23:41,291 --> 01:23:41,500 Yeah. 928 01:23:41,625 --> 01:23:42,916 And by that third day, I'm 929 01:23:42,916 --> 01:23:43,833 always a little tired too. 930 01:23:43,875 --> 01:23:44,958 I probably wasn't quite as tired this 931 01:23:44,958 --> 01:23:45,666 time because I spent a 932 01:23:45,666 --> 01:23:46,500 lot of time on the greens, 933 01:23:47,333 --> 01:23:48,083 carving up the greens. 934 01:23:49,833 --> 01:23:50,541 I mean, like we'll go 935 01:23:50,541 --> 01:23:51,541 back to that another time. 936 01:23:51,708 --> 01:23:53,500 You'll, after you get comfortable again, 937 01:23:54,208 --> 01:23:54,625 because we were up 938 01:23:54,625 --> 01:23:55,375 with a lot of people that 939 01:23:55,375 --> 01:23:56,791 are like, oh, my wife had it. 940 01:23:56,791 --> 01:23:59,166 She's 65 and it took her 14 months to get 941 01:23:59,166 --> 01:24:00,416 used to it or three 942 01:24:00,416 --> 01:24:01,666 months of skiing fairly 943 01:24:01,666 --> 01:24:03,541 consistently to get comfortable again. 944 01:24:03,541 --> 01:24:05,791 So by no means were we trying to push you 945 01:24:05,791 --> 01:24:07,333 into doing something 946 01:24:07,333 --> 01:24:08,333 you weren't ready for. 947 01:24:09,291 --> 01:24:10,500 But knowing that we only have one or two 948 01:24:10,500 --> 01:24:12,291 times mountains this 949 01:24:12,291 --> 01:24:13,708 year, you know, it's like you 950 01:24:13,708 --> 01:24:16,125 have to take a step, you know, to prove 951 01:24:16,125 --> 01:24:16,958 to yourself or you're 952 01:24:16,958 --> 01:24:17,416 going to have to redo 953 01:24:17,416 --> 01:24:18,250 it all again next year. 954 01:24:18,500 --> 01:24:18,791 Yeah. 955 01:24:18,791 --> 01:24:20,000 So now you know you can do blues. 956 01:24:20,291 --> 01:24:20,458 Yeah. 957 01:24:20,458 --> 01:24:21,791 You have a whole other year or whatever 958 01:24:21,791 --> 01:24:22,791 to strengthen your 959 01:24:22,791 --> 01:24:23,958 knee and you'll be good. 960 01:24:23,958 --> 01:24:24,500 That'll be fine. 961 01:24:24,833 --> 01:24:25,083 Yeah. 962 01:24:25,875 --> 01:24:27,416 It's just, it was that mental hurdle. 963 01:24:27,666 --> 01:24:30,958 Like I got to move past those last few 964 01:24:30,958 --> 01:24:34,000 hours on that run from last year. 965 01:24:34,666 --> 01:24:35,041 Yeah. 966 01:24:35,041 --> 01:24:37,000 But my point was going to be, if you go 967 01:24:37,000 --> 01:24:37,750 on that, like similar 968 01:24:37,750 --> 01:24:38,833 time, if we go back to 969 01:24:38,833 --> 01:24:39,791 Breck, it's going to 970 01:24:39,791 --> 01:24:41,708 be, you're going to laugh. 971 01:24:41,708 --> 01:24:44,500 I mean, it was, it was that 972 01:24:44,500 --> 01:24:46,291 green hill is like a bunny hill. 973 01:24:46,541 --> 01:24:48,541 It's so flat and you're going to be like, 974 01:24:48,541 --> 01:24:49,375 oh my gosh, I can't 975 01:24:49,375 --> 01:24:50,791 believe this is what I 976 01:24:50,791 --> 01:24:52,916 was going down like so slowly the first 977 01:24:52,916 --> 01:24:54,666 time, which is totally understandable. 978 01:24:54,666 --> 01:24:56,125 I'm not making fun of you, but you're 979 01:24:56,125 --> 01:24:56,916 going to be like, wow, 980 01:24:56,916 --> 01:24:58,208 like what a learning curve, 981 01:24:58,541 --> 01:24:58,833 you know? 982 01:24:59,083 --> 01:24:59,333 Yeah. 983 01:25:00,041 --> 01:25:00,791 Compared to what you were, you're 984 01:25:00,791 --> 01:25:02,125 accomplished 40 year skier. 985 01:25:02,583 --> 01:25:03,333 Ski for 40 years. 986 01:25:03,333 --> 01:25:03,500 Yeah. 987 01:25:04,083 --> 01:25:05,041 And that, it was hard. 988 01:25:05,500 --> 01:25:05,666 Yeah. 989 01:25:06,375 --> 01:25:06,791 It was hard. 990 01:25:07,166 --> 01:25:08,541 I think it was more mentally hard because 991 01:25:08,541 --> 01:25:09,791 you, you're doing just fine. 992 01:25:10,291 --> 01:25:10,500 Yeah. 993 01:25:11,291 --> 01:25:13,166 Just trust in yourself on it. 994 01:25:13,166 --> 01:25:14,833 So anyways, we did that. 995 01:25:16,083 --> 01:25:17,833 We drove back this time because that was 996 01:25:17,833 --> 01:25:18,375 the only way we could 997 01:25:18,375 --> 01:25:19,833 make it work from a timing 998 01:25:19,833 --> 01:25:20,500 perspective. 999 01:25:22,791 --> 01:25:23,541 Was our first time 1000 01:25:23,541 --> 01:25:26,375 learning how to take skis flying. 1001 01:25:27,125 --> 01:25:29,750 So we had to get ski bags, which is fine 1002 01:25:29,750 --> 01:25:31,791 for our new skis, which 1003 01:25:31,791 --> 01:25:32,458 was great because then 1004 01:25:32,458 --> 01:25:34,041 we figured out like, oh my gosh, all this 1005 01:25:34,041 --> 01:25:36,125 stuff that we put into like one big, huge 1006 01:25:36,375 --> 01:25:38,708 suitcase fit in the ski bags with the 1007 01:25:38,708 --> 01:25:40,208 skis, which was fantastic. 1008 01:25:40,666 --> 01:25:42,500 As long as it was 50 pounds or less. 1009 01:25:43,125 --> 01:25:44,541 So that was great. 1010 01:25:45,875 --> 01:25:46,083 Great. 1011 01:25:47,250 --> 01:25:50,500 What we learned though was. 1012 01:25:50,958 --> 01:25:52,500 Well we just, you got to 1013 01:25:52,500 --> 01:25:53,500 get the right rental car. 1014 01:25:53,500 --> 01:25:55,041 You got to get the right rental car. 1015 01:25:56,083 --> 01:25:58,791 And Ford Broncos are considered an SUV. 1016 01:26:00,083 --> 01:26:01,666 However, they don't fit 1017 01:26:01,666 --> 01:26:02,958 two really big ski bags. 1018 01:26:02,958 --> 01:26:04,375 Because they upgraded to the largest SUV 1019 01:26:04,375 --> 01:26:05,333 that they had at the 1020 01:26:05,333 --> 01:26:07,250 time, which is a mid-size 1021 01:26:07,291 --> 01:26:08,541 and they gave us a Bronco. 1022 01:26:08,916 --> 01:26:09,125 Yeah. 1023 01:26:10,208 --> 01:26:11,166 They're in Colorado, I'm 1024 01:26:11,166 --> 01:26:12,333 sure, but they don't fit. 1025 01:26:12,541 --> 01:26:13,708 And we didn't unpack the 1026 01:26:13,708 --> 01:26:14,750 ski bags on the way there. 1027 01:26:14,750 --> 01:26:16,291 So the kids are like, you know, it was 1028 01:26:16,291 --> 01:26:17,625 just like, there's a 1029 01:26:17,625 --> 01:26:19,208 dude perfect ski stereotypes 1030 01:26:19,416 --> 01:26:20,500 if you've seen it. 1031 01:26:20,500 --> 01:26:21,750 It's just like that. 1032 01:26:21,750 --> 01:26:22,083 Exactly. 1033 01:26:22,458 --> 01:26:24,166 I mean, I literally was on my head like, 1034 01:26:24,166 --> 01:26:24,708 you know, it's not 1035 01:26:24,708 --> 01:26:25,583 safe for that to be on the 1036 01:26:25,583 --> 01:26:26,333 driver's head. 1037 01:26:26,500 --> 01:26:26,875 Yeah. 1038 01:26:27,291 --> 01:26:28,750 There was literally a pair of skis like 1039 01:26:28,750 --> 01:26:29,958 you're driving like this 1040 01:26:29,958 --> 01:26:31,291 because you know, you had 1041 01:26:31,291 --> 01:26:33,625 a pair of skis coming right here. 1042 01:26:34,166 --> 01:26:35,416 It was so bad. 1043 01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:37,875 How long have you been holding them up? 1044 01:26:37,916 --> 01:26:39,833 Yeah, that was the two hours, two and a 1045 01:26:39,833 --> 01:26:40,625 half hours from the 1046 01:26:40,625 --> 01:26:41,916 Colorado Springs Airport to 1047 01:26:41,916 --> 01:26:42,583 Breck. 1048 01:26:42,833 --> 01:26:44,791 And the kids were like, hey, by the way, 1049 01:26:44,791 --> 01:26:46,041 we're driving home for 12 hours. 1050 01:26:47,916 --> 01:26:50,500 Luckily, we didn't put 1051 01:26:50,500 --> 01:26:51,291 them in the ski bags. 1052 01:26:51,291 --> 01:26:52,541 We figured a different way of doing it. 1053 01:26:52,541 --> 01:26:55,875 So it wasn't great, but definitely 1054 01:26:55,875 --> 01:26:57,791 learning curve for us to 1055 01:26:57,791 --> 01:26:58,500 figure out how to get all 1056 01:26:58,500 --> 01:27:00,041 that stuff into a car 1057 01:27:00,041 --> 01:27:02,000 comfortably for all of us. 1058 01:27:02,333 --> 01:27:02,541 Yes. 1059 01:27:02,708 --> 01:27:03,333 If we had our own 1060 01:27:03,333 --> 01:27:04,666 vehicle, it would have been cake. 1061 01:27:05,166 --> 01:27:06,166 It would have been fine. 1062 01:27:06,500 --> 01:27:07,583 Roll up on the top of the roof. 1063 01:27:08,416 --> 01:27:08,583 Right. 1064 01:27:08,791 --> 01:27:10,791 It was it was the rental car situation. 1065 01:27:11,333 --> 01:27:12,916 I mean, I just don't want to drive to 1066 01:27:12,916 --> 01:27:14,833 Colorado there and back. 1067 01:27:14,833 --> 01:27:16,083 Oh, it's 12 hours. 1068 01:27:16,375 --> 01:27:18,083 I mean, unless we were going to be there 1069 01:27:18,083 --> 01:27:19,500 for if we were going 1070 01:27:19,500 --> 01:27:20,750 to be there for a week. 1071 01:27:20,750 --> 01:27:21,041 Sure. 1072 01:27:21,333 --> 01:27:22,583 Maybe that's just what we need to do. 1073 01:27:22,583 -->

they're more expensive 1147 01:29:07,375 --> 01:29:08,500 presents as they get older. 1148 01:29:09,125 --> 01:29:09,333 Yeah. 1149 01:29:09,625 --> 01:29:10,916 But, you know, I think that's just part 1150 01:29:10,916 --> 01:29:12,000 of the family, you 1151 01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:13,875 know, of a hopefully some 1152 01:29:13,875 --> 01:29:15,833 good presents, but be, you know, just 1153 01:29:15,833 --> 01:29:16,916 having good times and 1154 01:29:16,916 --> 01:29:19,166 enjoying each other's, you 1155 01:29:19,166 --> 01:29:20,541 know, enjoying being together. 1156 01:29:20,541

01:29:26,291 just all the things 1160 01:29:26,291 --> 01:29:27,541 that make it so special. 1161 01:29:27,875 --> 01:29:28,083 Right. 1162 01:29:29,000 --> 01:29:30,416 And I do love that. 1163 01:29:30,708 --> 01:29:32,625 I mean, even when the kids were little. 1164 01:29:34,333 --> 01:29:36,375 I mean, opening presents is 1165 01:29:36,375 --> 01:29:38,291 easily a half day affair for us. 1166 01:29:38,291 --> 01:29:39,750 And it's not that we have so many. 1167 01:29:39,750 --> 01:29:41,708 It's that one of the kids will open 1168 01:29:41,708 --> 01:29:44,208 something and then go play with that. 1169 01:29:44,208 --> 01:29:45,583 Or, you know, if it's a Lego, they'll go 1170 01:29:45,583 --> 01:29:46,333 put the Lego together 1171 01:29:46,333 --> 01:29:47,708 and then come back to the 1172 01:29:47,708 --> 01:29:48,000 presents. 1173 01:29:48,416 --> 01:29:50,625 And so it's not like, you know, you kind 1174 01:29:50,625 --> 01:29:51,375 of get that sense of 1175 01:29:51,375 --> 01:29:52,500 like, it's just rip everything 1176 01:29:52,500 --> 01:29:53,000 open. 1177 01:29:53,333 --> 01:29:56,958 And yeah, I love the fact that our 1178 01:29:56,958 --> 01:29:58,958 children really take the time. 1179 01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:00,333 And enjoy each one. 1180 01:30:01,166 --> 01:30:02,333 So when I was a kid, I want to hear from 1181 01:30:02,333 --> 01:30:03,458 you too, because I do 1182 01:30:03,458 --> 01:30:04,666 love that that we do that. 1183 01:30:04,666 --> 01:30:05,375 We enjoy it. 1184 01:30:05,375 --> 01:30:06,208 It doesn't go fast, 1185 01:30:06,208 --> 01:30:07,291 but we went pretty fast. 1186 01:30:07,291 --> 01:30:07,916 We took turns. 1187 01:30:07,916 --> 01:30:08,625 It was like your turn, your 1188 01:30:08,625 --> 01:30:09,666 turn, your turn, your turn. 1189 01:30:09,833 --> 01:30:12,041 But we were pretty quickly through it. 1190 01:30:12,041 --> 01:30:13,208 Like I don't remember. 1191 01:30:13,208 --> 01:30:16,208 Maybe when I got older, high school, I 1192 01:30:16,208 --> 01:30:17,500 did take a little bit more time. 1193 01:30:17,500 --> 01:30:19,166 I wasn't as concerned of ripping through. 1194 01:30:19,166 --> 01:30:20,000 But that's different than 1195 01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:20,750 you're not getting toys. 1196 01:30:21,166 --> 01:30:22,666 When you're young, you're getting toys. 1197 01:30:22,666 --> 01:30:23,875 You're like, oh my, like you can't even 1198 01:30:23,875 --> 01:30:25,416 believe you might get that toy. 1199 01:30:25,416 --> 01:30:26,416 For me, at least it was that way. 1200 01:30:26,458 --> 01:30:27,791 Like GI Joes or 1201 01:30:27,791 --> 01:30:29,125 whatever it might have been. 1202 01:30:29,875 --> 01:30:31,000 Or Voltron, who's been 1203 01:30:31,000 -->

like 1207 01:30:40,083 --> 01:30:41,916 we went pretty fast when we were younger. 1208 01:30:42,375 --> 01:30:43,541 And while we are kids are still pretty 1209 01:30:43,541 --> 01:30:44,000 young, where they're 1210 01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:44,791 getting things that they want 1211 01:30:44,791 --> 01:30:45,500 to get into. 1212 01:30:45,500 --> 01:30:46,000 You know what I mean? 1213

all took turns for the most part. 1217 01:30:55,541 --> 01:30:57,583 But not, I mean, definitely faster than 1218 01:30:57,583 --> 01:30:58,375 like our kids would go. 1219 01:30:58,375 --> 01:30:58,833 But I don't know that 1220 01:30:58,833 --> 01:31:00,458 we did it super fast. 1221 01:31:00,916 --> 01:31:02,333 We would have been done by 10 a.m. 1222 01:31:02,541 --> 01:31:03,208 No doubt. 1223 01:31:04,208 --> 01:31:04,875 At my house. 1224 01:31:05,208 --> 01:31:05,416 Okay. 1225 01:31:05,833 --> 01:31:07,166 We would have been done by 10 of the a.m. 1226 01:31:07,166 --> 01:31:08,041 You started at what time? 1227 01:31:08,791 --> 01:31:10,583 Oh, probably 7 30, something like that. 1228 01:31:10,833 --> 01:31:11,250 Oh, yeah. 1229 01:31:11,458 --> 01:31:11,666 Okay. 1230 01:31:11,916 --> 01:31:13,583 So and we had eaten breakfast in that, 1231 01:31:13,583 --> 01:31:15,291 which is the worst, like, 1232 01:31:15,291 --> 01:31:16,750 because we had stockings, 1233 01:31:16,750 --> 01:31:19,166 then breakfast, then real presents. 1234 01:31:19,166 --> 01:31:19,375 Yeah. 1235 01:31:20,875 --> 01:31:23,416 Here, we'd only done one Christmas tree 1236 01:31:23,416 --> 01:31:24,208 under the Christmas 1237 01:31:24,208 --> 01:31:25,250 tree present this year. 1238 01:31:25,500 --> 01:31:26,375 By 10 o'clock. 1239 01:31:26,375 --> 01:31:27,208 That's crazy. 1240 01:31:27,416 --> 01:31:28,250 I wasn't even watching the time. 1241 01:31:28,250 --> 01:31:29,375 I looked at it because I was like, 1242 01:31:29,625 --> 01:31:31,500 because then they went and built that. 1243 01:31:31,500 --> 01:31:33,000 It was a little Lego, so it's easy. 1244 01:31:33,500 --> 01:31:34,666 I could never build one of the big ones 1245 01:31:34,666 --> 01:31:35,583 in that amount of time. 1246 01:31:35,583 --> 01:31:35,791 Right. 1247 01:31:36,500 --> 01:31:37,333 But I do love that 1248 01:31:37,333 --> 01:31:38,708 they enjoy it like that. 1249 01:31:39,500 --> 01:31:41,791 And ours was different because we opened 1250 01:31:41,791 --> 01:31:43,000 gifts from each other, 1251 01:31:43,000 --> 01:31:44,000 like gifts under the tree 1252 01:31:44,791 --> 01:31:45,916 that were from our parents and 1253 01:31:45,916 --> 01:31:47,541 grandparents the night before. 1254 01:31:47,541 --> 01:31:49,125 So we opened those on Christmas Eve and 1255 01:31:49,125 --> 01:31:51,750 then the Santa presents on Christmas Day. 1256 01:31:51,750 --> 01:31:52,625 So stockings and Santa 1257 01:31:52,625 --> 01:31:53,625 presents on Christmas Day. 1258

01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:01,125 Spent it up, though, too, because you 1262 01:32:01,125 --> 01:32:03,708 have less on Christmas morning. 1263 01:32:04,208 --> 01:32:04,416 Yeah. 1264 01:32:04,666 -->

01:33:29,166 it was like all hands on deck. 1324 01:33:29,166 --> 01:33:31,083 When we were really little, we'd go to 1325 01:33:31,083 --> 01:33:32,250 church on Christmas morning. 1326 01:33:33,375 --> 01:33:36,250 Once we got to be about 10, we went to 1327 01:33:36,250 --> 01:33:37,916 the midnight service. 1328 01:33:40,500 --> 01:33:43,291 But yeah, and then by noon, it was like, 1329 01:33:43,291 --> 01:33:44,333 you know, the 1330 01:33:44,333 --> 01:33:46,000 Christmas vacation, like, ding, 1331 01:33:46,250 --> 01:33:46,458 dong. 1332 01:33:48,666 --> 01:33:50,333 Everybody showed up because my 1333 01:33:50,333 --> 01:33:52,541 grandmother, my grandparents hosted 1334 01:33:52,541 --> 01:33:53,666 everybody on Christmas 1335 01:33:53,750 --> 01:33:54,166 Day. 1336 01:33:55,833 --> 01:33:57,916 And so from noon on, I mean, there was a 1337 01:33:57,916 --> 01:33:59,583 house full of people. 1338 01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:01,916 Like everybody. 1339 01:34:02,916 --> 01:34:03,083 So. 1340 01:34:05,458 --> 01:34:07,125 That's the way your family did it. 1341 01:34:07,458 --> 01:34:07,625 Yeah. 1342 01:34:08,958 --> 01:34:11,208 So we kind of like having 1343 01:34:11,208 --> 01:34:13,625 a really long, prolonged 1344 01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:15,833 present opening 1345 01:34:15,833 --> 01:34:17,541 wouldn't have worked with. 1346 01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:18,208 Yeah. 1347 01:34:19,083 --> 01:34:20,041 I think things changed a 1348 01:34:20,041 --> 01:34:20,875 lot when I was younger. 1349 01:34:21,708 --> 01:34:23,708 At some point, at some point, we just got 1350 01:34:23,708 --> 01:34:25,458 older and it was just too much, I think, 1351 01:34:25,458 --> 01:34:26,666 because we used to go to my grandparents 1352 01:34:26,666 --> 01:34:27,500 house that lived in 1353 01:34:27,500 --> 01:34:29,041 Colorado Springs and then 1354 01:34:29,041 --> 01:34:30,250 like all the aunts and uncles, we'd all 1355 01:34:30,250 --> 01:34:31,708 do the exchange there, 1356 01:34:31,708 --> 01:34:32,958 you know, like aunts and 1357 01:34:32,958 --> 01:34:33,875 uncles and grandparents 1358 01:34:33,875 --> 01:34:35,250 gifts and stuff like that. 1359 01:34:36,250 --> 01:34:37,000 We do all that. 1360 01:34:37,208 --> 01:34:38,500 It was probably before 1361 01:34:38,500 --> 01:34:39,875 Christmas, I'm guessing. 1362 01:34:40,291 --> 01:34:42,166 Then there was a time where we went to 1363 01:34:42,166 --> 01:34:43,041 their house on Christmas. 1364 01:34:43,375 --> 01:34:45,083 I think that got to be too much. 1365 01:34:45,083 --> 01:34:46,958 It was like a divorced family. 1366 01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:47,833 We're going here and 1367 01:34:47,833 --> 01:34:48,500 then we're going here. 1368 01:34:48,500 --> 01:34:48,875 You know what I mean? 1369 01:34:49,250 --> 01:34:49,375 Yeah. 1370 01:34:49,375 --> 01:34:50,458 And I think at some point we said, we're 1371 01:34:50,458 --> 01:34:51,500 just going to stay at our house. 1372 01:34:51,500 --> 01:34:51,791 And then my 1373 01:34:51,791 --> 01:34:53,125 grandparents came to our house. 1374 01:34:53,125 --> 01:34:53,375 Right. 1375 01:34:53,833 --> 01:34:56,208 A lot of Christmases to open up presents. 1376 01:34:56,666 --> 01:34:56,875 Yeah. 1377 01:34:57,375 --> 01:34:58,083 And when I was younger, 1378 01:34:58,083 --> 01:34:59,500 too, we went a couple of times. 1379 01:34:59,500 --> 01:35:00,916 We were in Denver for Christmas. 1380 01:35:02,291 --> 01:35:04,041 We went to Chicago maybe once, maybe 1381 01:35:04,041 --> 01:35:05,083 twice for Christmas. 1382 01:35:05,416 --> 01:35:06,500 Because that's where my grandparents were 1383 01:35:06,500 --> 01:35:07,416 before they retired. 1384 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:08,250 Illinois. 1385 01:35:08,750 --> 01:35:08,958 Yeah. 1386 01:35:11,166 --> 01:35:13,041 But then really, I feel like once we got 1387 01:35:13,041 --> 01:35:16,791 maybe once I was nine and older, most of 1388 01:35:16,833 --> 01:35:18,750 it was at our house. 1389 01:35:19,083 --> 01:35:19,416 Oh, okay. 1390 01:35:19,666 --> 01:35:19,958 Yeah. 1391 01:35:20,750 --> 01:35:21,333 And then it was 1392 01:35:21,333 --> 01:35:23,333 pretty not a lot of people. 1393 01:35:23,333 --> 01:35:24,666 It wasn't like years where everybody in 1394 01:35:24,666 --> 01:35:25,625 their mom was coming over. 1395 01:35:25,625 --> 01:35:26,666 My grandparents come over for a little 1396 01:35:26,666 --> 01:35:27,500 while and then they leave. 1397 01:35:27,791 --> 01:35:28,083 Yeah. 1398 01:35:28,291 --> 01:35:29,375 They go to it because they had four kids 1399 01:35:29,375 --> 01:35:30,875 that I think three or 1400 01:35:30,875 --> 01:35:32,000 four kids living there. 1401 01:35:32,000 --> 01:35:32,416 So yeah. 1402 01:35:32,958 --> 01:35:33,875 And that's so different 1403 01:35:33,875 --> 01:35:35,666 because my mom was an only child. 1404
