I love it. 25 00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:15.519 But for most people it could be it could be 26 00:01:15.560 --> 00:01:17.239 tough and be like, man, it's not a good day. 27 00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:22.560 It's dark and gloomy, cold, windy.

I thought I was going to 35 00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:39.000 be up on the first. Last year, I think the 36 00:01:39.120 --> 00:01:43.079 last two years it was up on the first of October. 37 00:01:44.560 --> 00:01:49.680 So the tenth, okay, and we're doing all right, she said, 38 00:01:49.760 --> 00:01:52.640 because it was cold today and stuff. She needed the 39 00:01:52.680 --> 00:01:57.879 comfort of the Christmas tree and the lights, and the 40 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:00.519 lights are pretty. 41 00:02:01.439 --> 00:02:04.200 Yeah, it's a it's another lamp, is what it is. 42 00:02:04.280 --> 00:02:08.479 It stays on all the time, and yeah, it's it's 43 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:13.080 a lamp.

So I love 45 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:17.319 it and it makes her happy, so you know, but 46 00:02:17.520 --> 00:02:19.280 it's a little early, some would say, I think that's 47 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.439 what you're maybe hinting at their jesse. But is it 48 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:26.879 too early to be in the spirit no spirit of No. 49 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:29.919 I just reminding me that I have to put presents 50 00:02:29.960 --> 00:02:32.599 underneath that tree.

Even Christmas 85 00:04:23.639 --> 00:04:29.399 was coming in Mikayla was I don't even know, I 86 00:04:29.439 --> 00:04:33.839 want to say, maybe thirteen or and she was throwing 87 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.120 a fit and didn't want to listen, did want to 88 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.920 just go to her room and throw a fit. And 89 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:44.120 it just became meltdown status. And I probably didn't help 90 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:52.439 with escalating it, obviously, yep. And so I took all 91 00:04:52.439 --> 00:04:55.399 of the Christmas presents that were already under there, I 92 00:04:55.600 --> 00:04:58.920 unwrapped them that I'm taking them back to the store, 93 00:04:59.000 --> 00:05:02.240 and I took the christ mystery ornaments, lights and all, 94 00:05:02.279 --> 00:05:04.600 and right out the front door, and I say, Christmas 95 00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:07.279 is done.

No, 180 00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:41.519 he waits for you to sleep, he kicks you in 181 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:43.840 the head. He just waits for you to operate on 182 00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:45.200 my face, I don't even know about. 183 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:47.840 He waits until you don't pay it attention. 184 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:52.399 My dad nought, I'm calling the law out there because 185 00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:55.440 Marnie was away. So my dad came and stayed with 186 00:09:55.559 --> 00:10:00.679 me for a minute. And Parker has this little I 187 00:10:00.720 --> 00:10:03.840 don't even know what it is.

I'm like, dude, I not 226 00:11:39.840 --> 00:11:40.720 hitting my wife. 227 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:42.240 She fell downstairs. 228 00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.720 It's not They're like, yeah, well, this was funny. 229 00:11:48.799 --> 00:11:51.200 One day, we were walking from our apartment. It was 230 00:11:51.240 --> 00:11:53.639 a nice day out, so we walked down the family 231 00:11:53.720 --> 00:11:57.960 Fair and Jesse someone had called on my watch, so 232 00:11:58.159 --> 00:12:00.159 he had his arm around me, and I have, uh, 233 00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:02.279 you know, kind of leaned into him and he was 234 00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.759 talking to someone on my watch. Well, some lady stopped 235 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:08.039 and asked if I was okay because it was like 236 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:09.840 the way we were walking, it looked like he was 237 00:12:09.919 --> 00:12:11.600 kind of like headlocking me and. 238 00:12:13.120 --> 00:12:15.200 Respect to that lady though I thought it was cool. 239 00:12:15.320 --> 00:12:17.480 She pulled over and she's like, man, are you okay, 240 00:12:17.639 --> 00:12:20.600 which I thought was that was nice, you know, and 241 00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:24.080 she put her nose in other people's business. But I 242 00:12:24.159 --> 00:12:26.200 could have saved someone's life, could have No, I was, 243 00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:29.840 I was tickled laughing, but it was funny. 244 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.279 I just think I just inappropriate things that I'm not 245 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.759 going to say, yeah, could have or could have not 246 00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:44.399 been funny for you to do at that moment. But well, 247 00:12:44.960 --> 00:12:47.000 we did want to make it a little quick podcast, 248 00:12:47.120 --> 00:12:49.159 but I don't know, I did want to talk about something. 249 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:51.360 And I think the real reason I haven't doing the 250 00:12:51.399 --> 00:12:55.159 podcast lately is some would say time okay, I haven't 251 00:12:55.159 --> 00:12:59.240 really been feeling that well and I just haven't been 252 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:02.240 a good headspaced or like I want to talk about 253 00:13:02.320 --> 00:13:05.080 fun stuff. And I fear like I did a couple 254 00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:07.279 on my own and I just didn't publish them because 255 00:13:07.320 --> 00:13:10.440 it was just bitching almost you know, And it didn't 256 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:12.159 start out that way, but it just ended into like 257 00:13:12.320 --> 00:13:14.279 just aw, just just rant bitching. So I was like, eh, 258 00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:18.360 that's I just don't do them. But I'm glad we 259 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:21.039 did one today though, and we'll have to start doing more. 260 00:13:21.159 --> 00:13:26.159 I had a goal in mind of hitting episode one 261 00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:30.320 thousand before the end of the year, but that'd be 262 00:13:30.440 --> 00:13:31.960 like sixty podcasts. We'd have to do. 263 00:13:33.799 --> 00:13:36.679 How many how many days is it? Tell the new year? 264 00:13:37.639 --> 00:13:43.639 We got ten Fridays, well nine after today, we can 265 00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:48.120 do it.

And then with the other 270 00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:58.480 project that we're gonna get involved in two. 271 00:14:00.000 --> 00:14:01.600 I don't see why we can't at least do one 272 00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:04.159 a week, whether it's just I mean, even if we're 273 00:14:04.240 --> 00:14:05.639 just getting on there, checking. 274 00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:10.720 In and you know, yeah talking about Christmas trees and yeah. 275 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:16.279 Ever, that's recovery for us, because I wasn't thinking about 276 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:20.320 Christmas trees or decorating or any of that when I 277 00:14:20.480 --> 00:14:20.919 was using. 278 00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:26.679 Really I did Christmas decorations.
