So today 15 00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 3: I'm thinking about something I read from writer Adam Grant. 16 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 3: He shared his new favorite word, and it is sonder 17 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:59,120 Speaker 3: s O n d er. It's the deep realization that 18 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 3: every person you meet has lived a life full of 19 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 3: hopes and fears and heartbreaks and love that you may 20 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:06,959 Speaker 3: never know about. 21 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 4: Isn't that a powerful thought? 22 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: I love anything Adam Grant has to say for the 23 00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: most part, and this is no exception. I love that 24 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: there's actually a word to describe this indescribable concept. 25 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 4: Well, it blew up online. 26 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 3: He posted it on Instagram and it has one hundred 27 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:29,759 Speaker 3: and ninety three thousand likes thousands of comments, one from 28 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,400 Speaker 3: Kristen Bell that I loved. I just love Kristin Bell 29 00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 3: in general, but she wrote, I've been looking for this 30 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 3: word forever. I'm constantly thinking when I pass a stranger, 31 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 3: they have a favorite ice cream, a specific nighttime routine, 32 00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 3: and exciting opportunity they're looking forward to, and I'll never. 33 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: Know what it is. 34 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 4: I feel this all the. 35 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 3: Time in my life, both in a hopeful way and 36 00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: sometimes in an empathetic way to make my own self 37 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: feel better, Like if somebody's being mean, I just think 38 00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 3: they must be dealing with stuff I don't know about. 39 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 3: But what I love about Adam Grant's post is that 40 00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 3: he invites us to think about sonder not just as 41 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 3: a word, but as a way of living. So it's 42 00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,520 Speaker 3: the realization that every stranger, every person, has a life 43 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 3: that's as vivid and complex as our own. And the 44 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 3: concept was actually coined by writer John Koenig in the 45 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:19,680 Speaker 3: Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows and it's just a basic reminder 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,519 Speaker 3: of things we know. But I love that he put 47 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 3: a word to it, that we all carry this unique story. 48 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 1: It also makes me think about other things that we 49 00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: experience in life that we don't have words for, that 50 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,320 Speaker 1: we should be looking for words for them. 51 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:33,200 Speaker 2: It's helpful. 52 00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, sometimes other languages have words yes that 53 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,960 Speaker 3: we don't have, Like I forgot what the actual word is, 54 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 3: But in German there's a word that says I feel 55 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 3: visited enough, meaning like you can leave my home, I 56 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 3: feel visited. 57 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 2: In us, we don't have that here. 58 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 4: Yes, that's a good one. 59 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 1: On the same train of thought as Sonder, I've been 60 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,640 Speaker 1: thinking about this concept that I experience all the time, 61 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: where I'm looking for the word to describe that phenomenon, 62 00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: where there are all these inexplicable life connections that connect 63 00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,480 Speaker 1: you to people. I guess it may be the invisible 64 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: thread theory that was circulating on TikTok for a while. 65 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 1: But I'm always astonished by like just the fact that 66 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: like one of my best friends that I met this 67 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: year happens to be best friends with one of my 68 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,760 Speaker 1: husband's friends that he knew since kindergarten, and it was 69 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 1: just like the most inexplicable connection. There was no way 70 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,240 Speaker 1: it seemed humanly possible. So that's something I think about 71 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: all the time too. 72 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: Well, you know, I'm gonna get woo woo on you. 73 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 3: That's that's the universe. There is no coincidence in that. 74 00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: I agree, I don't think there are coincidences. Well, the 75 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 3: takeaway of sonder for me, besides just like loving that 76 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 3: there's a word, is that I think it's a call 77 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:51,160 Speaker 3: because we can move through life with the concept of sonder, 78 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:55,600 Speaker 3: which I think is wrapped in curiosity and humility and gratitude, 79 00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: because it urges you to pause and see other people 80 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 3: with more empathy and remember that we're all out here 81 00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 3: doing the best we can with what we know and 82 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: what we have. And I think it's a nice reminder 83 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 3: to just approach every interaction without assumptions and to savor 84 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520 Speaker 3: every moment in life knowing that everyone else has their 85 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 3: own world of experiences too. 86 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 1: It's such a beautiful reminder. Thank you so much for that. Danielle. Well, 87 00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: if you're anything like us, you're probably curious about the 88 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,840 Speaker 1: lives of our guests who are coming on the show today. 89 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,120 Speaker 1: And there's always more that we can learn from them 90 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,159 Speaker 1: through the work that they're doing with their company. 91 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 2: The Home Edit. 92 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 3: When Clea and Joanna were here last time, they told 93 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 3: us all about how they started their company and of 94 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 3: course the power of their decade long friendship.

There's Thanksgiving, there's Hanukah, Christmas, 102 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: even Christmas Day, New Year's I mean, do we even 103 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: get all the holidays?

It's just one 138 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:50,160 Speaker 2: big hug. 139 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: You just wrapped filming the entire Extreme Makeover Home edition. 140 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,360 Speaker 3: It still allows me that you can build a home 141 00:06:58,640 --> 00:06:59,560 Speaker 3: in a week. 142 00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 5: Oh well, we are still wild ninety six hours and 143 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:05,000 Speaker 5: we will still never believe it.

The only reason I believe it 146 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 5: is because I literally saw it with my own two eyes. 147 00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 6: The first day when we like Joanna and I kind 148 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,800 Speaker 6: of ceremoniously helped put up the first wall kind of thing, 149 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 6: or like lay the first brick.

I'm wondering 162 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,600 Speaker 3: if there's a family's story that sticks out to you 163 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 3: from the season, something that you can make my eyes 164 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: well up with today. 165 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 6: Well, I'll say this number one. It truly has been 166 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:13,320 Speaker 6: the experience of a lifetime.

It's like straight up 343 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 6: like silent Night. Okay, like I am, like God, rest 344 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 6: you merry, gentleman. 345 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:01,400 Speaker 5: So I think Christmas music, in my view, you know, 346 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,320 Speaker 5: you start it whenever you want. I think Christmas music 347 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 5: is legitimately it's a personal choice. 348 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:12,239 Speaker 6: And but for Christmas decorations. I feel like I have 349 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,520 Speaker 6: to see Halloween through, even though I don't like to 350 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,080 Speaker 6: decorate for Halloween. I think it's a passover. I mean, 351 00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 6: that's actually a Jewish holiday, but it's like a holidays. 352 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:24,000 Speaker 6: I alsost have to stop over to think, like, I 353 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 6: think Thanksgiving is a Christmas holiday. 354 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,080 Speaker 2: Proved me wrong. I just think that this is this 355 00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 2: is what You're gonna get some backlash on that one. Fine. 356 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 4: Okay, Wait, while we're on the topic of holidays. 357 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,959 Speaker 3: I think we have to talk about decor organization. Okay, 358 00:17:39,640 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 3: I'm also Jewish, so I don't have personal experience with this, 359 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:44,840 Speaker 3: but a lot of my friends say that they have 360 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,800 Speaker 3: a hard time organizing all of their decor and keeping 361 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:52,439 Speaker 3: the Christmas decorations intact because a lot of the ornaments 362 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,000 Speaker 3: are really fragile. How do you recommend organizing and keeping 363 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:56,640 Speaker 3: everything nice? 364 00:17:57,520 --> 00:17:59,359 Speaker 2: Okay, so, first of all, a couple things. 365 00:17:59,440 --> 00:18:02,000 Speaker 6: Going back to the conversation we would have with our children, 366 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 6: we have to have the conversation with ourselves as well. 367 00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,640 Speaker 2: We can only have as many. 368 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 6: Christmas decorations as reasonably fit in the bins and space allotted. 369 00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 6: So if you have an area in your garage or 370 00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:16,959 Speaker 6: an area in your attic or whatever it is, and 371 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 6: it can fit whatever it is, three big tubs. That's it. 372 00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,720 Speaker 6: That's all you get. If you can't live within the 373 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 6: confines of that space, you need to edit out your items. 374 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:28,080 Speaker 6: Like that's just the number one we see people who 375 00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:32,359 Speaker 6: hold on to way too many decor items. Holidays can 376 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 6: get out of control for people, and you really have 377 00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 6: to think, like even when I'm buying a handbag, we're 378 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,199 Speaker 6: buying like something from my closet, I think about, like 379 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:41,800 Speaker 6: do I have space for this? 380 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:42,959 Speaker 2: Where is this going to go? 381 00:18:43,320 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 6: And if the answer is kind of maxed out, well, 382 00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,440 Speaker 6: then I can't get that. And people somehow think holiday 383 00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 6: is like plays by different roles that they can just 384 00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:54,760 Speaker 6: go keep frazy and keep buying. 385 00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,960 Speaker 2: And it's like, no, I understand. 386 00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,520 Speaker 6: It's fun to go buy holiday stuff and like go 387 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:01,960 Speaker 6: to target it, you know, right when Christmas comes out 388 00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 6: and like buy all that fun stuff. 389 00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 2: That's great. 390 00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,880 Speaker 6: If that's what you want to do, make a plan 391 00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 6: to do that once a year and like have that moment, 392 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,280 Speaker 6: but then recycle out the things that you are no 393 00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,920 Speaker 6: longer going to use. You can't just keep accumulating forever. Right, 394 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,159 Speaker 6: so that order everyone. I mean, she's exactly right. You 395 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,159 Speaker 6: need to make sure that everything's properly stored. You know, 396 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 6: an ornament organizer is so important to have. Ornament organizers 397 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,159 Speaker 6: are key if you have breakable ornaments things that you 398 00:19:25,200 --> 00:19:28,159 Speaker 6: care about. Again, we always go back to an item 399 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,720 Speaker 6: discarded on the floor, or if an item. 400 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 2: Is just thrown haphazardly in a bin. How much do 401 00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:36,040 Speaker 2: you respect that item? Is that ornament actually special to 402 00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:36,720 Speaker 2: you if you're just. 403 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:38,919 Speaker 6: Throwing it in with all the other breakable ornaments and 404 00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,720 Speaker 6: seeing what lasts for the next year when you take 405 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 6: it out, Like, get an ornament organizer, have your lights 406 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:48,000 Speaker 6: all like put together nicely and not a tangled ball. 407 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: Put your items away. You know, you can do it 408 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:51,239 Speaker 2: whenever you want. 409 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:53,480 Speaker 6: It's not like one day all of a sudden, the 410 00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,440 Speaker 6: Christmas Police come for you and say take it down. 411 00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 2: I would know because I keep it up until February. 412 00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:02,280 Speaker 5: And you know, it's just like, treat your stuff with respect, 413 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,560 Speaker 5: give yourself a proper amount of space and proper bins 414 00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,679 Speaker 5: storage bins for the items that you have, and it's simple, 415 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 5: you know, and make. 416 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:10,640 Speaker 2: A note of what you don't use. 417 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 5: Because people always keep buying and buying and buying because 418 00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,199 Speaker 5: they're not properly storing their stuff, and so they're wasting 419 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:17,840 Speaker 5: money essentially rebuying the same things. 420 00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,080 Speaker 2: So we see that a lot. 421 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, people waste their money on holiday decor because they 422 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:23,360 Speaker 5: only see it once a year. 423 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,840 Speaker 2: So they're like, do I have stocking holders? Like do I? 424 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 2: What about you know, this a centerpiece for the table 425 00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:31,960 Speaker 2: or whatever. 426 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:34,639 Speaker 6: I think you should either take a photo of the 427 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 6: bin that you pack up, you know, and look refer 428 00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:40,920 Speaker 6: to it next holiday season before you start unpacking everything. 429 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,040 Speaker 2: Take a photo, or you know, have the. 430 00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 6: Bins labeled Christmas wreaths, Christmas ornaments, you know whatever, so 431 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 6: you know the contents taking it. 432 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 5: If you can take a photo of it and just 433 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 5: put it in a little digital album and have that 434 00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 5: before you go buy the next thing, then you really 435 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 5: know what you have. 436 00:20:55,920 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 1: So in terms of those irregular or hard to store objects, 437 00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:02,919 Speaker 1: let's say a wreath, for example, is your advice in 438 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: general to invest in like specific organizational storage pieces for 439 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: those hard to store items. 440 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,760 Speaker 6: Yes, I think that if you have items that you 441 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,800 Speaker 6: know are going to be tricky to store, find a 442 00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:19,360 Speaker 6: storage bin, find a storage container. They even make wreath holders, 443 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 6: you know, I mean there are all sorts of different 444 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:21,639 Speaker 6: things that exist. 445 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:23,680 Speaker 2: Holiday storage is a very wide category. 446 00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:28,480 Speaker 6: So find the thing that fits that item, and just know, again, 447 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:32,000 Speaker 6: this is my space. So I could have three wreaths 448 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:34,520 Speaker 6: in here but not a fourth or you know, whatever 449 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:37,600 Speaker 6: it may be. And I think it's just you know, 450 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,200 Speaker 6: really holding yourself accountable. And the holidays can be a 451 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 6: hard time to do that because it's just fun and 452 00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 6: we get excited and we want to go crazy and 453 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,200 Speaker 6: you know, make our house look like a Hallmark movie. 454 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 6: But you know, there there have to be parameters and 455 00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:52,719 Speaker 6: boundaries for everything, and holiday is no exception. 456 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 5: And it gets you know, there's a lot happening. People 457 00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 5: have parties, they're traveling a lot. There's just so many 458 00:21:57,440 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 5: other things that I think it's distracting and hard to 459 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:01,639 Speaker 5: keep up with. So the more organized you can be 460 00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,640 Speaker 5: on the front end and the back end, the better 461 00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 5: your holiday is going to be. 462 00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,280 Speaker 1: What about string lights? What do you guys do to 463 00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: avoid having that, you know, massive knotted, massive lights? 464 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,280 Speaker 2: Simon, not guys, This is just one of us that 465 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:15,240 Speaker 2: has these string lights. 466 00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:19,159 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I keep forgetting Joanna does not 467 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:19,960 Speaker 1: have string lights. 468 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 2: You love string lights? 469 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,160 Speaker 6: I have, yes, I mean you just have to really 470 00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,960 Speaker 6: take your time to roll them correctly. You know, you 471 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 6: can use your elbow, you can get a spool, you 472 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:33,199 Speaker 6: can do a figure eight. But whatever you do, do 473 00:22:33,480 --> 00:22:36,359 Speaker 6: not just throw it into the bin like that. 474 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 5: That is almost to even open that. That just gives 475 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,920 Speaker 5: me such heart palpitations thinking about opening that. Yeah, that 476 00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:43,439 Speaker 5: is a good way to start a season. 477 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:43,800 Speaker 2: It's not. 478 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,960 Speaker 6: And there's nothing more frustrating than untangling a whole thing 479 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,359 Speaker 6: of lights. So again, they don't get up and move 480 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 6: in the year. You know, it's like they don't cause 481 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 6: it's not toy story. No one's like coming alive. So 482 00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 6: whatever you put in that bin in there should be 483 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 6: what you're taking out. 484 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 5: So you just have to be really cognizant of how 485 00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:05,480 Speaker 5: you store things and how you put them away. 486 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,360 Speaker 2: And again, don't be rushed, like take the time. 487 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,239 Speaker 6: You need to just make sure that, like if it's 488 00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 6: gonna be overwhelming to like take down the lights, the 489 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 6: ornaments and the tree all in one day. Take the 490 00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 6: ornaments down and then you know what, leave your tree 491 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 6: with just twinkle lights on it, and then take the 492 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 6: lights down and you know It's like you don't whatever 493 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,679 Speaker 6: you need to do to make sure that things are 494 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 6: put away properly and not if that if it's stressful 495 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,120 Speaker 6: to you, then remove that stress. But you know it's 496 00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:35,879 Speaker 6: just going to start the holiday season off on a 497 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 6: bad foot if you throw things in the bin without 498 00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,800 Speaker 6: proper organization. 499 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,399 Speaker 3: I feel like we can't talk about the holidays without 500 00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 3: talking about party planning and hosting. Are you guys mostly 501 00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 3: party hosts or party goers? 502 00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 2: I would say I'm a hoster? Would you say that? 503 00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 3: Join it? 504 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 5: Oh? You were definitely hoster. I mean I hosted a 505 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,920 Speaker 5: lot of people last year. Yeah, after I moved into 506 00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 5: house this year less less.
