We had such a nice conversation going for a solid half hour before actually hitting record. Second, we hit record stilted. Awkward. Oh, I disagree. Anything is going well. Yeah, you do. Naturally flowing of the words naturally flowing of the words. That's how we do it here, folks. We have questions posted by you guys. And we're going to answer them as we've done before and we to continue to do in the future as well. And we will unless this one goes disastrously. I got something awful. Happens what? Geez, we're not even entertaining that thought. I mean, I am. What if it's a disaster? What if the computer explodes? Getty What if the what if the computer explodes and get a new one? Good. Yeah, me too. See, you're a practical problem solver. Yeah. All right. You guys, I got something to tell you why I have the cues and I'm ready to read them to use. Oh, and on that one is that is it's back. It will every week. Not every, not every week, ever. You just say it every every single episode, no matter what year I should do it, then I'll be like, Oh, Trump and Elon Musk kissed on Twitter. Whatever you want it to be a hardcore. Some more news you want to go hardcore full on. You'd get it tattooed right on your body. All right, brace. We're going hardcore. We're going hardcore around here, folks. We take cues from business professionals. Hmm. For the smartest of the elite. Mm hmm. Fancy boys. And then we throw them away and we throw them away and answer real people's questions. Okeydoke. Questions. Questions. OK, go. OK. OK. Crisis asks. What is the most memorable Christmas gift you ever received? OK, well, I'm just jumping right in here. And you said, OK, go ahead. No, it was good. So I'm doing this while jumping around on trucks. Sorry, go ahead. Thank you. Please. I was looking for a way for my as I was trying to find a. OK, open. And I lost it. I never had it, but I did have an immediate answer to this question. Christmas has always been a big deal in my family. My grandma was born on Christmas, so we always celebrated. She grew up celebrating. Christmas Eve is a big thing. My mom grew up with that special magical. She goes above and beyond when, especially when there's like kids around and you know, she would get really crafty whatever she could. So she she found this like old doll house, and she refurbished it when I was a little girl and she made it all sweet and cute, and she bought tons of little, you know, we used to do that. We'd go to like little stores and find thrift stores and find old miniatures and stuff. It was a fun project for us to do together. And so she found this beautiful old like look like the gone with the wind plantation. Kind of like this, this thing. And she painted it afresh, and she strung those tiny little white lights all around it to make it all looked at lit up for Christmas. And so when I came down in that morning and I was maybe five, it was so magical because it was still kind of dark out and she had already lit the fire. She really knew how to create a vibe, man. She still does. She's still with us. Anyway, that's my answer. Lovely. Yeah. My answer is less lovely. I don't know. I shouldn't have gone first. No, it's not. Well, so I mean, I feel like there's probably like a year where like my siblings and I got like Aqua, not Legos. And it was like, Oh, we're going to. This is our playtime, and we would fill the room with them and make little towns and stuff. So that's always fun because it was less like, Oh, I got this gift. And it was more like, Oh, this activity with my family was like, That's why I like, we don't do. We're not like big on gifts stuff. It's more just that we'll see the activity time that's actually much better, right? I mean, well, that's that. I mean, that's I mean, the other side of this is like there was we'd be a little spoiled by it, you know, it was so fun for the adults. But like then there's the the meltdowns and you lose sight. It took, you know it. You have to get a little bit older to gain the perspective of what the holiday is actually about and what actually is important. Mm hmm. So to me, gifts have become the center spotlight and we live in this consumerist society that really pushes the idea of Christmas and like, it can be stressful. The best gifts to just be thoughtful or small, and the best gift is spending time with your family. And no, that's not. That's not what I was trying to say. It's nice to. You have the cute little story about like a thing like it's it's a it's a magical moment that you had. I just like, don't have, you know, that sort of relationship with the holiday, necessarily, although I was going to say that like a memorable, like not like, oh, this like moment in Christmas or like this activity winner. This sort of trip experience was from your mother, who my first Christmas there I had like, I think I just met them. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, right. It was that and she got me a PS3 and it was like, Well, it like I was like a used PS3 from your nephew. Right? It's what I mean. Like, I'm not trying to detract from that. I just want to clarify that she didn't. But that's, you know, I'm not saying, Oh, she bought me a cup, but like, but it was still just like I was not expecting anything near that. I was like, I'm going to this is going to be a little bit of a sweeter story than that, which is that my mom says it. And then I, Aiden is my nephew. My little nephew goes a. In an IRA thinking maybe we we should give Cody his old PS3, and that's what's extra touching. It was it was like, it really touched me. It was, it was like so thoughtful and it was overwhelming when I received it at the time because I was just, like not expecting anything like that. And it made me feel very welcome and loved. And I really. Mission accomplished. Yeah. Now she really likes it. It's like, Yeah, we get caught up in some consumerism culturally and my family around Christmastime, but it really is done with love. You know, first and foremost, there's a lot of gratitude. And yeah, it wasn't like, I wasn't like clamoring for a PS3. It was just, oh, of course you were the idea. And the thought of it was like, it very, very strongly touched me. And oh, I'm going to tell her, you said that please do also visit. I was going to invite you to Thanksgiving, but you've got plans. Nice. You know, you guys. Thank you that Christmas show I got I got to make my I'm going out to to Ohio for Christmas. Yay. Oh yeah, I said, I said it like miserably. But I don't know. I look forward to it greatly. No, but the re I'll add context without giving too much information, which is just I know that you have had some hellish Christmas commutes like like unbelievably bad luck diversions and delays and hotels and missing not missing flights, but cancelled flights. And it's always a slog not being able to get on flights that weren't cancelled. It was hell last year as hell this year will be probably smoother. All right. Another question, another question. Marisa Lopez asks Which holiday songs make you the happiest? Hmm. Hmm. Hmm, hmm. Hmm. Honestly, it's hard to go wrong with all I want for Christmas. Is you? Yeah. And simply having a wonderful Christmas time. Hmm. What are some other good ones? I think we differ on that. But um, why? Oh, I'm simply having a wonderful. You don't like it? Well, we'll get. We'll get to that. I think there is a question about that. OK. Yeah, that's that's some question after you say, let's put a pin in that one. Yeah, all I want for Christmas is you, I think is still like, I know people like, Oh, not use is playing everywhere and not over. No, it's awesome. It's kicks a*s. It's amazing. You think it's appropriate any time of the year, it uses the Christmas cord effectively. It's got all kinds of stuff going on, and I think I didn't really like the classics. I think like, you know, like a silent night is beautiful and what? You can't thing. Yeah, you got white Christmas. There's another one. So I'm going to get I'm going to throw out of what was the exact wording of this question and nothing it right now. Which holiday songs make you the happiest? So the happiest? That's the thing. OK, I'm going to elaborate here. Lots of Christmas music. Good Christmas music is special because it evokes deep feelings and nostalgia and, you know, on Christmas Eve. Yeah, I like a silent night. I like that. I like any of those more morose ones. Beautiful. Reflective. Mm hmm. For this season, I did a little sassy snap. Mm hmm. I want something that's propping me up, that's carrying me through present wrapping. That's like we got holiday parties. Bird. Oh, going. And then you go from Mannheim Steamroller performing on Holiday Song. They're really f**king amped. Yep, that's Bob Dylan. Must be Santa. There you go. Sorry, rockin around the Christmas tree. Come on. Oh yeah. Jingle Bell Rock in my dreams. In my head. I can. Yeah, you're you're dancing around and getting Barbie. In fact, I should just maybe I'll film that as my patriotic bonus. I'll give you. I'll do a Christmas dance for you guys. Give the people what they want because rockin around the Christmas tree makes me think of home alone. Yes, that's where he dances with all of the coasters. And yeah, all my life choices have been modeled after Kevin McCallister. Mm hmm. I don't know. Friend of the show, friend of the show, the mathematical alternate version of Cody. Talks about your chat. It's me, that's your pin code.

So that that sub question was from Dan Bedingfield Wonderful Christmastime by Paul McCartney or Happy Christmas War is over by John Lennon. So like, we got into it a little bit at the shoot this week. Happy Christmas or is over? Happy Xmas, actually. Yeah, that's what I typed. Okay, it's making sure I'll change it on the day, so I'm going to just read this out loud before we have this conversation. The lyrics to Merry Xmas parentheses War is over by our buddy. I love John Lennon favorite Beatle for sure, except for some of the abuse stuff. But here are the lyrics to Happy Xmas. The war is over. So this is Christmas and what have you done? Another year over another one just before one begun. So this is Christmas. I hope you have fun. What was it like that? We had a wonderful Christmas too much. It's a little too much. Merry Merry Christmas and a happy new year. Let's hope it's a good one without any fear. If you're like, hang in there now, you're right, it's a requirement requirements, I think. Give that. Oh, and so this is Christmas. Oh, it's not a bad song. I like it. I'm honestly just picking a hill to die on right now, but it just doesn't actually get in and feel like a Christmas song. Totally. I understand there's like a protest song or something, and not that it's bad. I understand. Yeah, I suppose this Christmas. What did you sell? This is Christmas. Yeah. You know, there's definitely a tone like that out of the gate. You're starting with that. Yeah. Or or alternatively. So this is Christmas, you know, like, that's nice. That's a nice little, you know, this one. What have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun, you know? Yeah, yeah. The song is like, Merry Christmas. Also, Merry Xmas war is over. Yeah, I know. I think it's I mean, personally, like, I totally understand what you're saying, and it definitely feels like, all right. This is like a little bit like of a downer. And I hope it's a good one. Yeah, but I also find simply having the audience's time a bit obnoxious. And I know that's like a boring opinion to have about the song, but I still think so about it. I guess I shouldn't have said that it's a favorite because it gets old. Let's go very fast, and then you hear it everywhere. I'll give you that. Also the thing about. Paul McCartney is that he's a corny fella chap. Sorry, lad, he's a corny like, he's a corny lad in Christmas. Music is a little corny, so it does feel like the format was made for him. That makes oh yeah, no, it's only a spot for him to shine. Yeah, it's like, like, we're talking, you know, Ringo. I think he's at his best when he's like novelty songs and like country songs, right? He's got the voice for it. Just do that. And Paul, similarly, although Paul obviously has a much wider range of songwriting ability and performance ability. But yeah, he's corny. He's going to do is like old granny music, as John called it, you know, his like Martha mid-year, his his honey pies and so on. That my dear, that kind of story. What a forgettable these of these is. All bluster. Exactly that problem. I know it's frustrating because it's like Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da is a catchy song that I like, but it's tough because you sing along and you're saying, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, life goes on. You know, that's also, you know, that's mostly that's often where he shines. Some gibberish stuff or like just this phrase over and over, simply having a wonderful Christmas time. You know, I will share with you a great kids' album. Oh yeah, he should do it. Kids out with every giants who've done several kids' albums. Someone get Paul and they might be giants together for us. What did your journey do if you were thinking, Oh, I don't know if you did. Got my mind set on you is about Santa. Oh, it's going to take a lot of money to get all those gifts, huh? Ding dong ding dong to do it right? Ding dong ding dong. All right, we got to play it. Ring out the old ring in the new and so on. Although I will say so like if you're you know, to your point about war is over, you know, you could do the same for four wonderful Christmas time. You can do. The mood is right. The spirits. Oh, let the word go tonight. And that's, you know, that's a whole f**king different. I know different. I just I just don't know that war needs to be mentioned in any Christmas song. Well, you know, let alone in the title. I mean, isn't aren't there other Christmas songs about war? Are these Christmas songs that are associated with war, the war on Christmas? I know sometimes I think I'm just thinking of like, sort like old stories about Silent Night being sung during Christmas time in war. Yeah. Oh, I'm sure the day. I'm sure they yeah, they sang. I'm sure people sung have the people of sung Christmas songs through a great, many tragic events. Yeah, as long as the tragic events fell aren't mentioned in the songs. Yeah. OK, let's do another question. It's bounce to love. Bounce to some foodstuff. What is your go to halibut holiday celebration meal meal? That's tough. I think there's a lot of ways to take that. Yeah, there are a lot of ways. Well, so like for my family would always do like a ham for Christmas dinner. Usually that was like one of the meals. And I don't I haven't eaten like pig pork products, probably for like eight years or so. So that's not in the cards for me anymore. And a lot of like, yeah, just like family recipe stuff, there's like lasagna that's made and things like that. But again, I'm always I was sort of come back to like, I don't know whatever we eat together during that time. That's what makes the Christmas time feeling. Although now so I get a hankering for shrimp c**ktail. Yeah, during Christmas time when I'm with family. And so now pretty much every single time, my sister and I will get specifically go to the grocery store to get wine and shrimp c**ktail. Yeah, that's all. There you go. That's the one down. There you go. Yeah. Katie, before you answer, I want to add some other food related questions in this so you can share you hit them all at once. First of all, that first question was from and dragon fox, I didn't say. And then they also ask Eggnog yes or no? And then Andrew Stand, where they asks, What's your favorite Thanksgiving side dish? And I figured you could just add holiday side dishes. All of this. Yeah. All right. This is like ground to cover. First off, go to your holiday celebration meal. Gosh, just thinking in my mother's praises. My mom was had a catering company for my whole life, and so she. Another thing just events. We all she likes to put on a show, but it would change. Yeah. So like she would try to do the special change the menu for the holiday party. We would always have every year with her close family, friends and their kids and whatnot. But what stands out to me? OK, first sugar cookies. Mm hmm. Sugar cookies dip. Oh yeah, they're white chocolate. You know that is a staple. But on Christmas morning, she always makes a frittata and mimosas and hot chocolate. And we just have. And she usually gets like cinnamon rolls, too. And so you have this like, pretty cozy, decadent breakfast while you're opening your stockings and stuff. That's nice. Oh my. Making a specific French toast? Yeah, in the morning as well. This delicious and my mom has like, you know, thick Christmas cookies. Every like everybody has those. Yeah, retreats, laryngeal traits. Eggnog, I've never had eggnog. I'll try it sometime. I don't think I have either. I had a little bit of an eggnog, Typekit liquor mixer sort of thing recently, which was fine and like a hot chocolate deal. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, like a pump of syrup or something. Yeah. But like, I haven't. It was like a bottle with like, it's like an alcoholic sort of eggnog kind of thing. But I've never had like, there's a glass of eggnog because a egg is in their name, the name and the concept that I'm basing off of the name, they have absolutely nothing to me. You can get it with or without. You can put alcohol. Yeah, you can put you can put a lot of that sounds, really. But to be anything there, I have to take something. Name something. Name anything. Salad. You can put alcohol in salad. Okay. You can do it. Tell me you can't. I mean, technically, you're going to eat your alcohol or dip it like a like a dressing. What you know you need dressing. Do you think a boozy vinaigrette? Exactly. Favorite Thanksgiving side dish vinaigrette. I think my favorite Thanksgiving side dish is probably stuffing or mashed potatoes or mushroom gravy. I don't eat normal gravy, but all of them together is the perfect buy. But I think, yeah, something like that. And I'm not like I. I always enjoy like Thanksgiving meal stuff, but it's not like, I'm never like, Oh, f**k, yeah, we got this. We got that, we got the marriage, we got this stuff. Like, it's not like there's nothing about any specific, like traditionally Thanksgiving style food that I'm like, f**king love this s**t. Cranberry sauce is pretty good. I will say you, Cody. All right. Oh, said like, you don't want Schitt's Creek, you, David. No, I don't know I talking about. Also, I had something else to say, and then it left my mind because now I'm just thinking about Schitt's Creek, a show I've never seen. Yeah. So now I'm thinking about trying to do a Jennifer Coolidge impression, which has nothing to do with Schitt's Creek. But all right, I'm going to move on. And if, but if you think of it, shout it out. You got to shout it out. Hell yeah. Bingo, Frog asks in the nightmare before Christmas, we see several trees with doorways into various holiday worlds. The movie only takes us inside Christmas and Halloween worlds. But there are also doors for Easter, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, St. Patrick's and Valentines. Which of these holiday worlds would you most like to visit? That's a good question. I got two answers because I think Valentine's Day would be very interesting and probably extremely horny. Mm-Hmm. And I'm curious what the representation of that would be, but also so there's like rules that I think would need to be defined to really answer this effectively because like Thanksgiving obviously is a holiday built on genocide. You know, we know Thanksgiving. But the idea behind Thanksgiving that we say that it is is like a wonderful idea. You're grateful. You share it. You share that gratitude, you share you share food with everybody in your life. And like, the idea of it is very nice. So like, maybe the expression of that through this door would only be that? Or would it include like, you know, does it like, does it? Does it incorporate the the start of the holiday? Is it incorporate all of the history of the holiday because the Christmas world incorporate, you know, is the night is like the official drink of that world, Coca-Cola, you know, is it like they never they ever get into that? So it's hard. It's a little hard to answer, I think. But yeah, I would say Thanksgiving. Your Valentine's Day for the horniness I go Valentine's Day or maybe some St Patrick's. Yeah, Valentine's Day is love is like love based so might not be horny at all. It might just be like a very romantic place, and that might be nauseating. It's too much. Flag Day is just a MAGA rally. That's the thing. There's like Flag Day like St Patrick's Day. Sounds like hell. Fourth of July sounds like hell, although there's some words like Fourth of July could be really fun because it's like just chaos. But then again, it's like after, you know, 20 minutes, maybe you're going to get because bloated Easter could be cool. Arbor Day would be nice. Just a bunch of money. And that would be very calming, probably a lot. Earth Day would be like Avatar be really planting trees. Yeah, National Sibling Day. So you're siblings, everybody, or as you celebrate your siblings, National Pet Day, National Pet Day. If we're talking, there have to be different towns or all of the holidays that we talk about on this show. Then you just go into you go through a door and a tree in a forest and it's just vichyssoise. This is my day. National, I don't want that. I really don't want this. I don't want no one wants that. We don't need a leak soup, a cold leek soup. But I think I think I do want to just my answer to say, I think Arbor Day or Earth Day, because I think that would be very relaxing and beautiful. All right. Hopefully, again, it's like, I don't know the rules exactly off the doors, like what's being expressed, what's being suppressed? I don't know. They did make a sequel and really explore. Explore this into that. They can really make a really bizarre premise that nobody actually wants. Julie Scott asks if your parents have questionable morals, but you don't want to get cut out of the will because then all the generational wealth will go to your kitsap up, sister, so you smile and nod at family gatherings. Does that make you a bad person asking for a friend? No, no. You're fine. I mean, if, if, if like that's dependent on like you not disagreeing with them or like. Being true to yourself than like bucket, I do, yeah, my perspective is is like, well, also, so I mean, this is obviously like, you know, does it mean you're a bad person? And also, I don't know what questionable morals means. You know, there are some definitions and some details that I think would help elucidate this a bit. They're still your parents, still your parents. But like, you know, if like they're like requiring their children to suck up to them for their exactly like, I don't know, there's a certain amount of this is like phrased funny and we had our initial reactions. But there's a certain amount of reading between the lines and like making an, I guess, as to what your situation is. And, you know, if it matters to your parents so much that you follow their will or agree with them on everything, so much that they would cut you out of their will, something that we all recognize is something you know is a very helpful thing navigating the world that's coming, you know? I don't personally see there. There's anything wrong with making a choice that suits you. However, also that your parents and you probably love them and that you're right doesn't make you a bad person. Having parents that have questionable morals, does that make you a bad person? You know, are there others questionable morals leaking into what you do? Like is it? Is it smiling and nodding? Or is it like, Well, they're requiring you to do this terrible action that hurts people like is is the smiling and nodding hurting anybody? It does, I think, depend on what questionable morals. Oh, wait, they're asking for a friend. So it's not them. Well, their friend is like one of the characters in succession, I think. Yeah, it's good. I'll go to Shiv. I can't let that happen. And it's like, Yeah. Logan Roy does have questionable morals. That is one way to say it. Yeah, right, right. Yeah. So like, what do you plan on doing with inherit the inheritance in the generational wealth? Like, that's another question. Apes aplenty asks you guys rag on Biden a lot, despite him passing a lot of progressive policies that even Obama couldn't or wouldn't do. What would Biden have to do to be considered worth voting for in 2024? Retire run against the Republican. I guess the Republican here, you know, I mean, worth voting is another phrase. We're like, Well, what do you mean worth voting for? I think it's worth voting for somebody if the other guy's worse. Yeah. And I think, you know, maybe not so much on the podcasts. Maybe we focus on other things, but like on like some more news. I feel like we do try to give him credit when it's due and talk about things that he's done or his administration is moving towards while also, you know, with a grain of salt kind of thing. There are elements like even like the the weed news recently, it's like, Oh, that's really cool. That's good. It's good that that's a move. But also knowing like it doesn't actually affect a lot of people. And it's not, you know, affecting like illegal immigrants and things like that. And the number of people that actually helps is low compared to what he could be doing, then things like that. I think it's important to give context and, you know, a measured read of it, be just because a lot of stuff also turns out to not be as spectacular as it seems on the surface. Mm hmm. But I do think we we do try to give him credit where it's due and acknowledge like even in our episode about like when are we talking about like drone strikes? We're like, Well, yeah, the numbers down. It's weird that he's not bragging about that, and he's not like making it a thing of like, you know, we're reducing the number of drone strikes because that to me tells me that maybe he doesn't think it's like necessarily like something something to brag about. But like, you know, I don't know. So like acknowledging that that's the case. But yeah, so this is an interesting question. I think rag on Biden is also we have to be able to acknowledge and call out the things that we don't like, you know, point taken. I do think we try to, but I think in terms of like what he could do to make it worth it again, like worth, it is like, well, I don't know what's worth it. Is it worth it to make sure the other guy doesn't win? Is it worth it to, you know, do what promises? Is he making, you know, what is his 2024 campaign based off of? Is it? Is it like moving forward with things we've been doing? Is it like so, you know, I don't know. Like you've said, there's a lot of stuff that he's done that on paper at first blush are good. But then when you look at it a little bit closer, you're like, Oh, that was mostly just, you know, floor ish or something like, you know, with with the weed convictions. And right now, you know, I personally as excited as I am about student loan debt relief, I kind of feel like there was a missed opportunity for a bigger. Conversation and right now that's held up, you know, and I think that that might. It's not that I think Biden is doing everything wrong, it's that I'm I think somebody else could have done things better. And I think that he is he feels like a vulnerable candidate still to me because what I hear and see is frustration with him on all sides. I don't think that we made progress in the midterms in the way that we did because of Biden. I think we did that. You know, irregardless of Biden, yeah, it's kind of inspired and that the stuff that's happening, the gestures are kind of because people have been pushing and asking for these kinds of things and because he knows that he has to play to a certain side of this base in order to keep us it just to keep us, you know, but it does kind of feel like the bare minimum to me, and maybe that's not fair. But again, I'm not saying he's terrible. And like Cody said, I mean, like the worst, he's not Donald Trump. And so what would he have to do to be considered worth voting for in 2024? Be the candidate that I have to vote for? You know, I mean, and I don't think it's quite fair. I think that we can we can make jokes on the podcast and stuff. But you're right. Maybe we could be more mindful of that. But I don't know that we're that unfair, especially if you look at the the scope of our work, not between the panel as well. You know, we give him credit where it's due. I mean, even the most recent episode that went up, there's a poll like the last third of it is about his administration and there's sort of antitrust moves. But I also just want to say that just about any politician or president I don't like, even if Bernie Sanders was president, I think it would be very important for us to have these kinds of conversations because I mean, even when Bernie Sanders is president, when? But I just don't think that we should ever trust them completely, and they will always do things that we don't necessarily agree with. Yeah, of course. End of answer. Let's end on a another holiday one, and it's kind of open ended. So Gretchen Hintz asks, What's your favorite holiday traditions? Mm hmm. Good question. I will simply start talking and hope that I land on something because who doesn't love the holidays and traditions just kind of feel like I've set them off? Yeah, we've we I feel like we do have covered some of them. And yes, like certain meals. Certain, I guess, get together activities. I don't know. Like when, when I'm with my family for the holidays, it's not necessarily like, yeah, they're like places we'll go to like, Oh, we'll go get a burger from like this restaurant we like or whatever. But it's mostly just like, yeah, we put on music and we hang out all day. Maybe there's like the, you know, let's watch this movie we used to watch or something like that. For example, I was talking about this last night, the Christmas toy. I believe it was called. I don't know if anyone knows this, but or of this are like many people do. It's a Jim Henson movie from the 80s, and it's basically Toy Story. It is. Toys come alive when you're not in the room with them. When you leave the room, they come to life. When you enter the room, they like play, they play Toy Town Square. It's very cute. And then the children in the story, we don't really see much of our. They get a there's a new toy and it's like a space toy. It's like a perceived to be evil space toy. And they have to deal with that crisis of like getting along with it and teaching it that it's a toy and all this sort of stuff. It's just Toy Story. Hmm. But it's it's Jim Henson, and it's cute. Yeah, I don't know. Like, we'll watch to watch things on watch how movies sometimes not the show, but like the thing, the home movies of the family. Well, yeah, it's mostly just a lot of being in the same space together and going on walks and stuff like that. The Christmas toy is on Prime Video at Canopy. If anyone's interested, I have not watched it since I was a little kid, so yours. So you do. So you do know, OK. I have seen this. Yes. OK. Yeah, it's a it's it's cute. The little mouse feels like Toy Story kind of ripped off this story about toys. No question. Yeah, no doubt. And improved on it. Like the story's fairly certain. Toy Story is great. Great film, movie, whatever you want to call it, but it definitely is just this movie. Well, I'll have to check that one out. Woody Woody is rugby. The Tiger. Also, Kermit introduces it. Hmm. A Santa hat. I think that sounds really fun. It is my favorite tradition. I don't know. I like it. That's it. And I mean, I definitely like holiday parties with friends. The just in general, that's the season of that of just, you know, but I think in terms of my family and Christmas, specifically when we were still in the Bay Area, you know, there's there's areas that have Christmas tree lanes. Your cities might have similar things. L.A. does, too, but that would be a fun thing with my family or even just driving around the lake rich people's neighborhoods and seeing what life they put up on their mansion. Yeah. And then we'd like talk s**t. Yeah, that's right. That's tacky. All that money and you did that with it. You know, I look forward to that. Yeah, that is fun. OK, that is it for us this month on even more cuz holiday edition. We love you so very much. I'm so grateful for your support and the community you built. I am going to do something serious right now, which is with everything that's going on. You may continue, I like spooked a sneeze out of you. Yeah. Just with everything is going on and Twitter and like, it's I feel like comforted knowing that there's this community of people here that, you know, shares our values. Yeah, it's awesome. I always think about that sort of last night, like, I don't think Twitter is like dead or whatever. No, I enjoy the conversation. But seeing sort of this outpouring was really is kind of neat and just thinking like, well, if it if it is dead, which is not, that would be sad. Everybody, it's nice to have the community of like pals and stuff with their little, ah, little jokes online, you know, and their little jokes and facts. Yeah, I agree with you completely. You do. My point? Oh, OK. I think that does it for us today on this holiday edition of even more cuz we're going to dip out for a bit and spend some time with the fam. Molly, Molly, even and we're going to be back in a couple of weeks, weeks. Hey, hope you have hope. Have a happy, happy holiday. However, however you celebrate, celebrate, sit. And please remember that number that we love you very much. Much.
