Speaker 1: That you can put on it any time and say
Speaker 1: it's New Year's And my kids are too young to
Speaker 1: know the difference.
Speaker 5: But you know the difference, So you that's gonna who cares?
Speaker 1: Yeah, writer and I are on par with it, like
Speaker 1: we get it.
Speaker 2: I will be what do you really stay up till midnight?
Speaker 5: Every week?
Speaker 2: Are you still?
Speaker 3: Of course I do.
Speaker 2: You're a New Year's person.
Speaker 3: I am a per well. First of all, I usually
Speaker 3: don't go to bed early anyway.
Speaker 2: So I know you're up until one any Yeah, So
Speaker 2: of course.
Speaker 5: I watched the ball go down and I count out
Speaker 5: loud and all that.
Speaker 3: Good kind of su kiss my wife.
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course you sing old LANGI I just still
Speaker 5: don't know what that song means.
Speaker 3: I still think they're mispronouncing something. It was some like
Speaker 3: old lemonade or something that got smudged. But I love
Speaker 3: that song, do you really? Oh? Yeah, that's that's the
Speaker 3: that's the.
Speaker 4: Part of New Year's I really love.
Speaker 3: So should old Old Acquaintance be forgot? I still don't
Speaker 3: get what the song is about.
Speaker 4: If it's it's basically should in the sense of if
Speaker 4: if old.
Speaker 2: Aquaintances should they?
Speaker 4: Should they be forgetting?
Speaker 3: You drink some langsyne? Right and then you okay?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 2: Or what are you doing?
Speaker 4: All right? Well, I'm gonna be all the way on
Speaker 4: the other side of the world. I will be in
Speaker 4: New Zealand. I will be in a camper van with
Speaker 4: my my son and my wife. Who knows if we'll
Speaker 4: actually stay up till midnight probably not.
Speaker 2: Are you renting a camper van?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 5: Okay, yeah, so yeah, those two I'm very I'm curious
Speaker 5: as opposed to.
Speaker 1: That's what I just don't understand is like you have
Speaker 1: a camper van here? Why are you getting a camper
Speaker 1: van there? Like why do not you go on a
Speaker 1: v Asian and stay somewhere not not.
Speaker 4: Camper found God, because the whole point is to go Jesus,
Speaker 4: just a completely different understanding of what the point of job. Okay,
Speaker 4: I want to go somewhere beautiful and natural where there
Speaker 4: are not other people around. Sure, you know, so you're
Speaker 4: experiencing something that is only accessible by putting an effort
Speaker 4: of like you know, getting the map out, hiking through
Speaker 4: the woods, whatever it takes, and when you get there,
Speaker 4: it's always just beautiful, you know, because it usually takes
Speaker 4: work to get there, and that's why not everybody's there.
Speaker 4: If you want to have like a you know, a
Speaker 4: city experience or a disney Ish experience where it's the
Speaker 4: same thing that everybody else does, that's fun too, But
Speaker 4: like you know, when I go on these trips, that's
Speaker 4: I'm just seeking something unique.
Speaker 1: So yes, a lot of beautiful places from resorts, they're
Speaker 1: still beautiful.
Speaker 4: I get to do those too, Okay, I just I
Speaker 4: just it's when it comes to the natural world, like
Speaker 4: when it comes to a sunset on a cliff or whatever.
Speaker 4: It's it's actually like if you put in a little
Speaker 4: bit of extra work, you get to find some things
Speaker 4: that nobody really find, you know, gets to see.
Speaker 5: Danielle watches those on YouTube, amazing sunsets.
Speaker 4: And anyway, So New Zealand is one of the most
Speaker 4: beautiful places on Earth. I've been there twice with my
Speaker 4: wife before we had our kid, before we were married.
Speaker 4: Even so like, okay, here's like a perfect you know,
Speaker 4: my wife and I were We're driving in a campra van.
Speaker 4: It was actually just a van back then because it
Speaker 4: was just the two of us so we didn't need
Speaker 4: a full on camper van. We were driving in a
Speaker 4: van and it was dark and it was the middle
Speaker 4: like we were we didn't know where we're going.
Speaker 3: We're going up this mountain in the dark.
Speaker 4: In New Zealand. We're like, where are we We have
Speaker 4: been looking on the maps. You know, this is before
Speaker 4: we had maps on our phones all the time, so
Speaker 4: we were.
Speaker 3: Like, I think it's if we get to the top
Speaker 3: of this hill.
Speaker 4: We'll be in someplace nice and we park, we couldn't
Speaker 4: see anything. We fall asleep just in our van, and
Speaker 4: then we wake up at sunrise and we like I
Speaker 4: wake up and I look outside and it's literally the
Speaker 4: most beautiful mountaintop I've ever been on on my life.
Speaker 4: It's just us and I'm like, oh my god, wake up,
Speaker 4: wake up Alex, And like she gets up and I'm like,
Speaker 4: do you see what's happening? We just like go outside
Speaker 4: and we're we're like at the top of this mountain.
Speaker 4: The sun is rising, and it was like, you know,
Speaker 4: probably the most esthetically beautiful experience of my life. We're
Speaker 4: like holding each other and it's like that, you know,
Speaker 4: I talk about that in my wedding vowelshen we got married,
Speaker 4: because it was like, can you believe, like we went
Speaker 4: from being like are we going somewhere?
Speaker 5: What are we too?
Speaker 3: Like waking up next to each other in just magical.
Speaker 5: You know.
Speaker 4: It's like and that's like you can't get that unless
Speaker 4: you you know, do a little campra van trip. So
Speaker 4: gonna take our son, he's now old enough to enjoy it.
Speaker 4: We're gonna go, you know, do some rafting, do some hiking,
Speaker 4: find some hot springs, glacier hikes, going on a glacier.
Speaker 4: Indy really wants to skydive, which they allow over there
Speaker 4: for kids to skydive.
Speaker 5: Oh my god, if there's ever a child sized pair, Shoot,
Speaker 5: you're in the wrong place.
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't know if.
Speaker 4: I mean, I did it when I was eighteen, and
Speaker 4: I don't really want to do it again. But he
Speaker 4: keeps bringing are you going to let him do it?
Speaker 2: I don't know, Alex, I mean, she would do it
Speaker 2: with him.
Speaker 4: I know if they're gonna I'm just yeah, I just
Speaker 4: am like heights and me. I used to enjoy all
Speaker 4: that kind of stuff. Now I'm like, I'm old, same, same,
Speaker 4: rather just you know. So anyway, that's that's my New
Speaker 4: Year's plan.
Speaker 2: I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: Well you're going to stay up until midnight? But what
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 3: What I do every year? Chucky cheese and weed specifically
Speaker 3: Chucky happened.
Speaker 2: Wait, you know they stake your hand.
Speaker 5: No, my wife and I were unless we do something
Speaker 5: like you know, we go you know, twenty twenty we
Speaker 5: went to Amsterdam, or we do something like that.
Speaker 3: This year, you know we're gonna do mellow. We'll probably cook.
Speaker 2: A nice meal at home, make a smasha.
Speaker 5: And we make a smash burger, undoubtedly, something wonderful like that.
Speaker 5: And she'll doze on the couch next to me, and
Speaker 5: I'll wake her up at midnight and we'll kiss, and
Speaker 5: then she'll go to bed.
Speaker 3: And yeah, no, it's we very might maybe take a
Speaker 3: hot tub on the stars. I don't know, something something
Speaker 3: fun but where we'll be home, So something something nice
Speaker 3: and mellow and enjoyable.
Speaker 1: Which I will wake up at midnight because there will
Speaker 1: inevitably be fireworks set off in the neighborhood and brunch
Speaker 1: will bark.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought you'd have to pee.
Speaker 1: Oh no, I won't have to pee, but brunch will bark.
Speaker 1: And then I'll wake up and I'll look to make
Speaker 1: sure the kids have slept through it, and they will.
Speaker 5: And so wait, so you're going the night of the
Speaker 5: thirtieth to Vegas home on thirty first?
Speaker 3: Gotcha? Okay, Well, I'll call you at midnight repeatedly.
Speaker 5: Thanks.
Speaker 2: I'll be on silent thanks for thinking of me.
Speaker 3: That's well.
Speaker 5: Then I'll come to your house and just not throw
Speaker 5: stuff at the windows. I live close enough New Year,
Speaker 5: I will do fireworks a day window.
Speaker 3: By that, I just mean that's what we do. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but the kids that, well, no, it would be it
Speaker 3: would it would? I mean, I mean we're so close.
Speaker 3: How is it not? The fish? I love it.
Speaker 2: You heard it here, folks, you heard it here first
Speaker 2: and probably only. That's amazing. Writer.
Speaker 1: If you'll record any of those sunsets to put on YouTube,
Speaker 1: then I just don't ever have.
Speaker 2: To do it.
Speaker 5: That would be great. I'm going to be a fifty
Speaker 5: sent in a van would be awesome.
Speaker 3: Are you renting the same van you own?
Speaker 4: I think so.
Speaker 3: I think it's literally the same model. Also hysterical.
Speaker 5: Oh my, I still want to go to New Zealand.
Speaker 5: We had two trips planned. We had to cancel them both.
Speaker 2: We don't have spiders in New Zealand like they do
Speaker 2: in Australia, right.
Speaker 3: Snakes apparently, so I could do this, Yeah, we.
Speaker 4: Did a Our first trip was a road trip down
Speaker 4: the coast of Australia and then we went to New Zealand.
Speaker 4: And it was so funny because when we were in Australia,
Speaker 4: the possums were insane, like they just and Australia doesn't
Speaker 4: allow you to kill the possums. So but they would
Speaker 4: come up to us while we're camping and try and
Speaker 4: eat our food out of our laps. And then we
Speaker 4: go to New Zealand and they they they they hunt
Speaker 4: and make gloves out of they make possum gloves and
Speaker 4: we like, we were so angry at the possums, are like.
Speaker 3: I'm getting some gloves scarf.
Speaker 4: They slearously like almost ruined our trip. And the birds
Speaker 4: in Australia are insane, Like you wake up in the
Speaker 4: morning it is Australia is very wild, but New Zealand
Speaker 4: is It's basically a better California. It's like, are you
Speaker 4: going to Hobiton? I don't know where that is? Is
Speaker 4: that on the South Island and we're on.
Speaker 3: The don't know this. I don't know exactly where.
Speaker 4: I just don't care.
Speaker 3: Like apparently I've been.
Speaker 4: To a lot of the sites just because they're some
Speaker 4: of the most beautiful sites, like the mountain that was
Speaker 4: Mount Doom, Like we went there because of course it's gorgeous.
Speaker 3: You go to the Innanda.
Speaker 4: But they use every part of New Zealand, I mean,
Speaker 4: over the course of eight movies. They just like they
Speaker 4: covered the two islands, so you kind of kind of
Speaker 4: can't avoid it, but yeah, I don't intentionally seek it out.
