That's fine. I'm still here, we're still 172 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: spending time together. I hope you enjoyed your lunch. I 173 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 2: didn't need any. And then you just don't set up 174 00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 2: the expectations, and then I guess disappoint people in a 175 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 2: way because if I go, all right, I'll come to 176 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 2: yours for lunch, and I'll come to yours just after lunch, 177 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 2: and I'll come to yours here, and then Christmas Day, 178 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 2: you're enjoying yourself a little bit too much here, and 179 00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: then the other one gets pushed back a little bit, 180 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: or you miss the lunch because the traffic on the 181 00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: freeway was ridiculous. You know, I just don't really set 182 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:56,480 Speaker 2: an expectation for anyone on Christmas Day. I just say 183 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,640 Speaker 2: I'll be there at some point throughout the day and 184 00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: see you when I can, And if I happen to 185 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 2: land on lunch, I'll sit down and have lunch with 186 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 2: you and if not, say la V. You know what 187 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: I mean. But what about you? What are your Christmas plans? 188 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 2: Because I know you always do your big beer pong tournament. 189 00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, Christmas is looking a lot different these days. Last 190 00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 1: Christmas was really sad for me. Why because my mom 191 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: stopped talking to me. 192 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 2: Oh just before Christmas. 193 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: Just before Christmas last year, just spilling the tea on 194 00:08:35,040 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 1: my personal life. I don't really talk much about my 195 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: personal life on social media, but like you always say, 196 00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: the podcast is like the little safe corner on the internet. 197 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 1: So in December last year, my mum cut ties with me. 198 00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: Long story messy. It's not the first time that this 199 00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: has happened. So last Christmas, I was just like feeling 200 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: sorry for myself. We just went to AJ's mom's for 201 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: lunch and then came home and just I was just 202 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,440 Speaker 1: depressed because I didn't get to see Nana or anything. 203 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 3: Because this is the whole fucking thing. So this year 204 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:12,559 Speaker 3: it's equally as sad, but a bit more exciting because AJ. 205 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 1: And I will be in our new house. Yeah, so 206 00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: that's like the one good thing. Usually my Christmas would 207 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 1: be brunch at NaN's, but I can't go to NaN's anymore, 208 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:23,240 Speaker 1: which is fucked. 209 00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: If you don't laugh, you cry. 210 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,560 Speaker 1: Okay, So I don't see Nana on Christmas anymore. 211 00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 3: Is will be the second year I'm not seeing her, 212 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 3: which is so fucked. 213 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,920 Speaker 2: Didn't she not come over to visit you at your house? 214 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,840 Speaker 3: She can, but she'll be with Sharon. 215 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, but for brunch, right, So what happens later in 216 00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:46,120 Speaker 2: the day.
