Speaker 1: This is the EDS with Eddie Judge and Edwin Adoyave.

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:09,639
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the EDS podcasts. I'm Eddie and I'm Edwin.

3
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: We are the EDS. So Hey, how you doing, Edwin?

4
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: How's it going. I know there's a lot going on

5
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: in your life and I just want to know how

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 2: you're doing.

7
00:00:19,400 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 3: I'm doing as good as I could be doing, and

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,040
Speaker 3: just getting ready for the holidays, you know, yeah, yeah,

9
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 3: me and focusing on the things that I can control, right,

10
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: and all that other stuff kind of figures itself out

11
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 3: as it figures itself out. But I've always been big

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 3: on just focusing on what you can control and all

13
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: that other stuff you can't control, you just leave that

14
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 3: up to God.

15
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: And that's what gives you peace.

16
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 3: I think when you try to control things that you

17
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 3: can't control is when you rob yourself of the inner piece.

18
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:54,200
Speaker 3: So I've been intentional with just with that part and

19
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 3: staying in faith, staying in and focusing on the children

20
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 3: and stuff like that. So are so so. I mean

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: it's obviously difficult times, but you know, we we do

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: what we always do, which is you just remain pushing.

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 3: You continue to push forward. You know, life's gonna throw

24
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 3: some curveballs at you, and you just gotta continue to

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 3: push and things have a way to always figure themselves

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 3: out within time, So patience.

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: We shoot both the best, mostly because it's not an

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: easy thing to go through, and especially the timing. You know,

29
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,840
Speaker 2: it's just it couldn't be any worse because this sucks. Yeah,

30
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 2: so I really feel bad and I wish you both,

31
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: you know, I hope you guys get through this pretty good.

32
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you, No, I appreciate it. Okay, so we

33
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 3: got to get show holidays. Let's talk about it.

34
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the holidays for this topic.

35
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: We're going to be talking about this time of the year,

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 2: from our traditions growing up, our own family, maybe some

37
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: gifts ideas and anything we want to talk about with

38
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: respect to the holidays. And I'll start it off with

39
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: you know, growing up, I really the the only traditions

40
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 2: I had were you know, being from a Latin family,

41
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: we can come up with any excuse to celebrate. So

42
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,840
Speaker 2: we definitely had parties, We had the gifts, and we

43
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 2: celebrated any any opportunity we got, including Thanksgiving. You know,

44
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: it was just we're Americans now, so it was part

45
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:24,200
Speaker 2: of our culture. And frankly, my favorite holiday of the

46
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 2: entire year is Thanksgiving for two reasons. I just love

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: to be thankful for my life, my family. You know,

48
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 2: I can't I can't emphasize enough how happy I am

49
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 2: with my life, and and of course the meals. I

50
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 2: just love turkey, you know, and stuffing and all the

51
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: all the good stuff that comes with Thanksgiving.

52
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: But do you do you remember growing up and did

53
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: you so? It's traditions.

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,639
Speaker 3: So I grew up in Columbia, so I came to

55
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 3: the US when I was six. But what I do

56
00:02:56,720 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 3: remember as a kid, my dad would throw like amazing

57
00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: parties for Christmas. Like we'd have worcus, like we'd have

58
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: like bands at the house and it'd be just everyone

59
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 3: partying at the you know, for Christmas. It's like what

60
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 3: they do right, like you eat, but then they'd start

61
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 3: to party late. And then when I came to the US,

62
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 3: sort of you know, that kind of went away the

63
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 3: whole party all night on Christmas. But it was you know,

64
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 3: it was fun seeing all these adults partying and you're

65
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 3: just kind of there, you know, waiting for the for

66
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 3: the gifts and stuff. But what's interesting is in at

67
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 3: least in the land community. For us, we used to

68
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 3: stay up till twelve all the time to open up

69
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,200
Speaker 3: our presence and we would open all of them.

70
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: Yes, and now.

71
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: It's the flip side of that, you know, being with

72
00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 3: Teddy for as long as I was, it you open

73
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: one present if you could make it to midnight and

74
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 3: which most can't, and then you open all of them

75
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 3: the next morning. So definitely two different worlds.

76
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: I kind of like to stay till staying up till twelve.

77
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 3: Well not anymore because I'm once it's o'clock, I'm like dad.

78
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: But back in the day, I used to love waiting

79
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: until twelve and opening up all the gifts.

80
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 2: So how do you how did you do it before?

81
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 2: Did everybody come to your house? Did you go to

82
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 2: Teddy's family's house? I mean it gets partically.

83
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:21,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, So typically we would do you know, if it's

84
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving out our dad's house, we'd have Christmas at our

85
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 3: house and then vice versa. If it's Christmas or if

86
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 3: it's Thanksgiving at our house, then we're going with our

87
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 3: dad on Christmas.

88
00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 1: So that's always been sort of the back and forth.

89
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 2: Huh. So, yeah, so you share the okay and he

90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: would come to share the house and.

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:46,920
Speaker 1: Then they'll come to the house.

92
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 3: I think last year we celebrated Christmas at our house

93
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 3: and then this year Thanksgiving will be at at John's house.

94
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: So it's cool.

95
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 2: So has John and your family been at the same

96
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:01,200
Speaker 2: sell it festivities?

97
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 3: No, because when when it's when we're here, it's rare

98
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 3: that John comes. So it's typically if John comes because

99
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 3: we're going to him. Although last year was sort of different.

100
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 3: I think it was like the first time that he

101
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: that he was with us at our house. We're typically

102
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 3: going to his house. But you know, it's it's always

103
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: a fun time going to his houses and stuff. And yeah,

104
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 3: kids get to play and do all their things. We

105
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 3: have this great football for Thanksgiving. We have this great

106
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 3: tradition where we played. You know, it's got a nice

107
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 3: little football field and we'll go you know, eight on eight.

108
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: Ten on ten. Fun. Yeah. I remember one year Cruz

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 1: just got ran over and he's.

110
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 3: Just like crying, poor thing. I mean he just got

111
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 3: completely ran over and there is no Yeah, there is

112
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 3: no safety.

113
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: You're in that football game. If you're five years old

114
00:05:52,080 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: and you're in the way, you're getting run over. Yeah,

115
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: but it's fine.

116
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: You know, so your family met John, your your mom

117
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,840
Speaker 2: and dad, and that's out of your family met My.

118
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,880
Speaker 3: Mom has, My entire family has except for my dad.

119
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 3: And we met John when we first got married thirteen

120
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 3: years ago in Paris. That's when they met him, because

121
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 3: everybody flew to Paris and that's when we got married.

122
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 3: And then that's when my mom siblings all met John

123
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 3: and it was.

124
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: A great, great day as well. But yeah, and then

125
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: you know, in regards to Thanksgiving, you know, I like the.

126
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 3: Tradition of the football right that we play all the time,

127
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: and you know, the food's great. It's just it's I

128
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: definitely like Christmas more than Thanksgiving. I know you said

129
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 3: you're a Thanksgiving guy. I'm more of a of Christmas guy.

130
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 2: So for Thanksgiving, do you do the traditional thirty turkey

131
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 2: meal or do you infuse it with some if.

132
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 3: We go to John's house, Okay, our house, I'll ish,

133
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 3: you know, we'll mix in some Tamali's, we'll mix in

134
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 3: some Colombian food, We'll mix in a little bit of everything.

135
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:01,720
Speaker 2: Ah. So yeah, I just always love that there's this

136
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: sweet rice with with grapes, not grapes those dried up

137
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: what's a dried up grape? It was my favorite dish.

138
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 2: And then that's I discovered yuka from going to the

139
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:21,680
Speaker 2: Columbian Dinner. Yeah, and it was good. So yeah, we

140
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: we always kept it traditional American meals. Even when my

141
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 2: family came over, they might have brought to Molly's one season,

142
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: but we're having the whole family coming over this year

143
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 2: for Thanksgiving, so it'll be I don't know what my

144
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 2: wife has upper sleeve, if she's going to do a

145
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 2: traditional Thanksgiving turkey, or if we're going to do prime rip,

146
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: or if we're going to do something different, but I

147
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 2: just look forward. I just love turkey on Thanksgiving for

148
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 2: some reason. It's just it brings it makes me happy.

149
00:08:00,440 --> 00:08:02,600
Speaker 3: So are you an early decorator guy? Like do you

150
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 3: start decorating your house? Are you like buy the Christmas

151
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 3: tree November first, the day after Halloween?

152
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'll started with this.

153
00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 2: There was a time period, I think it was in

154
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 2: my mid twenties where I just didn't like the holidays.

155
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: So when holiday seasons come up, I was like, oh,

156
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,800
Speaker 2: you know, it's it becomes so stressful, like where are

157
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 2: we going to go to your families? My families? Where

158
00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 2: we going to spend time with, and it got so complicated.

159
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 2: I think I've had two years in my entire life

160
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 2: where on holidays I just stayed home by myself. I

161
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 2: didn't want to do anything right, So that kind of

162
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: set the pace for me. And then eventually I got

163
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:49,200
Speaker 2: older and I started realizing it's become so commercialized that

164
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving people start decorating for Thanksgiving in the summer. You

165
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 2: go to home depot today and you have, you know,

166
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 2: or two months ago, and you start seeing Christmas stuff.

167
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 2: So to me, it's kind of put a bad taste

168
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:08,599
Speaker 2: in my mouth. It's just everything's become so commercialized and

169
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:12,359
Speaker 2: has taken the magic away from what Christmas and Thanksgiving

170
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 2: really is. So to answer the question, is I wait,

171
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: like to wait till the last minute. You know, I

172
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,079
Speaker 2: don't have my Christmas lights up yet. I just found

173
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 2: out my wife's gonna want a real Christmas tree this year.

174
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:28,199
Speaker 2: We've always had a fake tree. It's just easier, you know.

175
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 2: So now I'm not looking forward to it, but I'm

176
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 2: going to deal with the mess that real trees make.

177
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: But I think that's part of the experience, right.

178
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 3: So are you putting up the decorations or is that

179
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,920
Speaker 3: camera when it comes to you?

180
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Or are you paying somebody to do it? No, we

181
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: do it.

182
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: I did one year when I was single making a

183
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 2: lot of money, and it was.

184
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,080
Speaker 1: In this house.

185
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: I decided to hire a decorator and paid her like

186
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: two grand or twenty five hundred dollars and decorated the

187
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: entire house and it looked like Norm Strum in here.

188
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: It was beautiful.

189
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 3: I think it's worth doing that. I remember it was

190
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 3: funny I gave one day. I'm like when I think

191
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:12,199
Speaker 3: it was when we first started dating. I don't know

192
00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 3: if you were married yet. I think it was when

193
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 3: we first started dating. But it's a funny story. I

194
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 3: told Teddy, can you get us like a nice Christmas tree?

195
00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 3: And I gave us some money to go do it.

196
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 3: I'm not joking. She brings back. I don't know if

197
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: it got delivered or she actually got it herself, but

198
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,079
Speaker 3: I was expecting like this huge tree because we had

199
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: these high high ceilings. Well she brings back a tree

200
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 3: that maybe at most is three feet tall, and that

201
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,679
Speaker 3: was our Christmas tree that year. And I'm like, Teddy,

202
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: I just gave you a ton of money, Like what

203
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 3: this is the best you came up with, like afoot tree.

204
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 3: So we're not the best decorators. I think last year

205
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 3: we paid somebody to kind of do it. I'm just

206
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,840
Speaker 3: like the worst freaking handy man of all time. So

207
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:04,360
Speaker 3: oh really, Oh, I don't even know how to change

208
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 3: a tire. I'm I'm not a handy dude. Big Mama's

209
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 3: Mama's boy. Mama did everything for me, and that's just

210
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 3: never been my strength. So with decorating, we're we're not

211
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 3: the best. Yeah, Teddy's at least a little bit better

212
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: than I am, but definitely I am the worst.

213
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:29,439
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you when when we first got together,

214
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: Tara and I made sure that we started doing those

215
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 2: holiday traditions ourselves, you know, because we wanted to keep

216
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,720
Speaker 2: it as normal as possible for our kids. So we decorated,

217
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: and we prepared and I did. I am in charge

218
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: of the outside. I used to help her more on

219
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 2: the inside as well, like hanging. I put the tree

220
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: up and she would put the decorations up right.

221
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 3: But I have a lot of injuries happen outside. It's

222
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: another reason I'm scared to do it. I'm like, I'd

223
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:59,840
Speaker 3: rather pay someone. Yeah, me and me on a on.

224
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: Some stairs outside. Yeah, that's a recipe for disaster. Have

225
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: you did you ever fall.

226
00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 2: I've never fallen, but I think it was two years

227
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 2: ago that I decided to hang up the hanging of

228
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:17,840
Speaker 2: the lights outside because I went and I rented a

229
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 2: twenty foot ladder because you know, we're two story house

230
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 2: and just getting the damn ladder up to work it

231
00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: was everything. And I'm strong, I work out, I'm pretty fit,

232
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:31,640
Speaker 2: and it took everything in my power to get that

233
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 2: ladder up. And of course I climb up the ladder

234
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,600
Speaker 2: to put the lights up, and suddenly, I don't know

235
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: if it's an age thing, but suddenly I got this

236
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,520
Speaker 2: fear of heights. I'm like, okay, ladder's going back.

237
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: I'm hiring people. I can't do this anymore. So I

238
00:12:45,600 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 1: do hire.

239
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:51,359
Speaker 2: People to put the lights up now, and I'm responsible

240
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 2: for getting all the stuff out of storage and putting

241
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 2: it in the house. And we've created a new kind

242
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 2: of tradition because Sophia is our last kid that still

243
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 2: live with does and if it wasn't for her, we

244
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 2: wouldn't put anything up for Thanksgiving. We wouldn't put anything up,

245
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 2: especially for Halloween. She loved Halloween, and so she took

246
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 2: it upon herself to do all the decorations and everything,

247
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 2: and so she took the lead and we followed and

248
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 2: we still do that and for Christmas we're going to

249
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: decorate again. But she's she's doing it herself, like it's

250
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,320
Speaker 2: kind of like it stuck with her, Like she really

251
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:29,400
Speaker 2: is excited to do the holidays, which is really rewarding

252
00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 2: for us, because that's the ultimate reason why we did

253
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,800
Speaker 2: it when when we were together and we were going

254
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 2: through you know, those hard times with transitioning from the divorce,

255
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 2: you know. So it's it's it's paid off and we

256
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,439
Speaker 2: still have to decorate. And I say have to because

257
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:47,800
Speaker 2: if we didn't have Sophia here, I don't think Cameron

258
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: and I would be.

259
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: Decorating that right.

260
00:13:51,559 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 2: So that's funny. What about let's see New Year's do

261
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,080
Speaker 2: you guys still when was the last time you partied

262
00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 2: on New Year's Eve?

263
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,439
Speaker 3: We haven't in a while because it's it's been about

264
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 3: the kids, and you know, they're at that age too

265
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 3: where it's kind of hard.

266
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 1: To leave them.

267
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, four ten twelve, So really I want

268
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 3: to say the last time I'm getting confused. But maybe

269
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 3: it was an Aspen three years ago and I think

270
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: we had just a blast. Yeah, but it's I think

271
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 3: that was two three years ago and we I mean

272
00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,800
Speaker 3: we partied. It was fun, but I might be getting

273
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: I don't know if that was Christmas. I think it

274
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,240
Speaker 3: was New Year's but we had a blast. No, it

275
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 3: was new you know what, it was New Year's? What

276
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: am I talking about? We had a blast. But mostly,

277
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 3: you know, we just don't like leaving the kids. I

278
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 3: personally don't like leaving the kids because I'm such a

279
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,720
Speaker 3: special day to like being able to say Happy New

280
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 3: Year to them.

281
00:14:54,440 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: So we usually do the nine o'clock New yorka we do.

282
00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: We do the New York Quadrop and then we go

283
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:02,760
Speaker 1: to bed.

284
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 3: So but it's interesting, you know, I you know, it's

285
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 3: different when you're single, right when you're single.

286
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: Shoot, what are you gonna do on New Year's Eve?

287
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:14,200
Speaker 1: You know?

288
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 3: But in fact, when I first met Teddy, I was

289
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 3: obviously single at the time I met her December twenty sixth,

290
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 3: Like who goes out December twenty sixth?

291
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: But ingo, people, what else are you.

292
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 3: Gonna do on December twenty sixth? There's nothing to do

293
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:32,440
Speaker 3: and you have some free time, yeah, because you know,

294
00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:34,640
Speaker 3: work's not that heavy at the time, so it's like

295
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 3: the holidays.

296
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah.

297
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 2: So I was saying earlier, I've worked my ass off

298
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 2: so much when I was younger that holidays were just

299
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:47,440
Speaker 2: the end of the day, you know, and then you

300
00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 2: find yourself, Okay, well everything's closed, nobody's working. What am

301
00:15:50,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 2: I going to do with myself? Do you guys have

302
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 2: any traditions now, like the elf on the shelf for

303
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,760
Speaker 2: anything like that for the kids.

304
00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we do. So Teddy's really good with that

305
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 1: stuff stocking.

306
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, so when they come down, she's got the whole

307
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 3: stocking stuff down.

308
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:15,320
Speaker 1: She's really good.

309
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 3: At that stuff, and the kids would come down and

310
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 3: get their stuff. I never had any of that growing up,

311
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:23,760
Speaker 3: you know. I just had the Hey, your presence open

312
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 3: them up, you know. And I don't know, you know,

313
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 3: maybe because we grew in because I grew up in

314
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 3: Columbia the first six years, there is no Santa Claus

315
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: in Columbia really, right, It's more about Nino Dios than

316
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 3: maybe Jesus. Right, So Santa Claus was never a big

317
00:16:43,280 --> 00:16:46,160
Speaker 3: thing for me as a kid, and I kind of

318
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 3: knew that it was fake. My kids, Yeah, I want

319
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 3: to say my ten year old still think Santa Claus exists,

320
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 3: and my twelve year old, I know, Bella, which is

321
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 3: my sixteen year old, she knew, like yeah, I think

322
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: when when I eight, she's like, Dad, there is no

323
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:05,320
Speaker 3: Santa Claus.

324
00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:12,920
Speaker 1: You know what about Dove? Oh yeah, yeah that's awesome.

325
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,960
Speaker 1: But what kind of gift giver have you been?

326
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 2: And evolved too?

327
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: So I think I'm a great gift giver.

328
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 3: I'm not the best to shop for because I'm very

329
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 3: picky what stuff and I always tell people, hey, you're

330
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 3: gonna buy me clothes, just don't do it. I'd rather

331
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: buy my own clothes, right, Yeah, yeah.

332
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,960
Speaker 1: I love getting socks.

333
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 3: My mom always gives me socks because it's like the

334
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 3: one thing I really don't.

335
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:46,440
Speaker 1: Buy, like like the last thing, like socks.

336
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,640
Speaker 3: So my mom always gives me socks, which is cool.

337
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 3: And I just like I like like stuff that, you know,

338
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 3: like somebody putting a collage of pictures together for me.

339
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: Because that's something I wouldn't do, right, simple sentimental stuff.

340
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 3: It's the sentimental stuff because the stuff to buy I

341
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,640
Speaker 3: could buy it myself. And yeah, like usually like when

342
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 3: people buy me clothes, it's just like clothes, Like do

343
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:12,240
Speaker 3: I need more clothes?

344
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: No?

345
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 3: And then I feel bad because a lot of times

346
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 3: I won't even wear it, you know.

347
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: But I think as far as me giving gifts, I

348
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: think I've been pretty good with that. I like, you know, uh,

349
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:27,640
Speaker 1: giving gifts for sure.

350
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,679
Speaker 2: When when it comes to you and Teddy, did you

351
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:37,280
Speaker 2: guys struggle giving each other gifts or or or is

352
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: it an easy thing to do?

353
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: What's sort of changed?

354
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 3: I think now what I like to do typically is

355
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,719
Speaker 3: just take her shopping. That way, she gets what she

356
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: wants and and looks good, and you know, sometimes it's

357
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:56,320
Speaker 3: it's just with designer stuff, it's tough, it is buying

358
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,919
Speaker 3: stuff if you don't fit into it. Yeah, so because

359
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,639
Speaker 3: every size is different, right, Like what?

360
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: Yeah?

361
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 3: So I think I like doing that because I and

362
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:12,919
Speaker 3: maybe and maybe in a I don't know, I mean,

363
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 3: I just I think with me, i'd like the same

364
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 3: way as well, Like I'd rather choose my stuff. Then yeah,

365
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 3: you know, you're trying to buy me something that I

366
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 3: know I'm not going to wear.

367
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 2: So it's become very challenging sort of you know for

368
00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,040
Speaker 2: us too, because it's not always a holiday that I

369
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,280
Speaker 2: want to buy my wife something. Right, it's a birth day,

370
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:36,600
Speaker 2: it's something else, and we can go anywhere and pick

371
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,679
Speaker 2: something up and give to each other because we're thinking

372
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: about each other.

373
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: Right.

374
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,440
Speaker 2: But when it comes to gift giving, I think we're

375
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,960
Speaker 2: at the point in our life where I'll buy my

376
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 2: own stuff and she can wrap it. And then she

377
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,400
Speaker 2: buys her own stuff and sometimes I wrap it, sometimes.

378
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: She wraps it. Yeah. It just makes it.

379
00:19:54,400 --> 00:20:01,280
Speaker 2: So much easier, unlike sentimental holidays like I I tried

380
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 2: to do this every.

381
00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:05,520
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day.

382
00:20:05,560 --> 00:20:09,200
Speaker 2: I try to find a photo or something and create

383
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 2: a collage or have it printed in a canvas of

384
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,479
Speaker 2: her and I or her and I and the family,

385
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,720
Speaker 2: And those are the gifts I like to give her

386
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 2: on those holidays. Her birthday, for example, this year, it's

387
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,240
Speaker 2: hard every year because I asked her what do you want,

388
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,360
Speaker 2: and she never tells me. But this year for her birthday,

389
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:31,479
Speaker 2: she ended up getting that facial thing laser thing, So

390
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,679
Speaker 2: I think she did it intentionally so I wouldn't be

391
00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 2: surprising her with the birthday party or anything. She just

392
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,439
Speaker 2: didn't want that, so it made it kind of simple

393
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: for me because while she's recovering. I ended up going

394
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 2: to Cardia and I know she has a few bracelets

395
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:50,199
Speaker 2: already and I just had to find one that she

396
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,840
Speaker 2: didn't have and it was pretty easy. But outside of that,

397
00:20:54,359 --> 00:20:58,400
Speaker 2: she's so simple, so easy going, it makes it challenging

398
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 2: for me, like to buy her or something, I have

399
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:03,520
Speaker 2: to ask her like what do you want exactly?

400
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 3: You know what's interesting too about that, I feel the

401
00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 3: same way. Like what I say, I'm a good gift giver,

402
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 3: but that's based on how I feel not being forced to.

403
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 3: So sometimes I feel like Valentine's and Christmas and you know,

404
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 3: I just I like giving gifts at random times.

405
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know where sometimes it's just like I'm being

406
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:27,280
Speaker 1: forced to just.

407
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 2: Because Yeah it's I don't like that.

408
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I hate that. Yeah, I like it when it just

409
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: comes from me. And that's why I like.

410
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:37,520
Speaker 3: My best gifts are always random gifts. And I almost

411
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: have to remind I used to have to remind Teddy, like, hey,

412
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 3: this is a little bit of a Christmas gift. I

413
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 3: just you know, bought it a little early, you know,

414
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 3: don't forget about this one. And of course she forgets,

415
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: and you know, I got to get her the actual

416
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:54,080
Speaker 3: Christmas one too, but but I like more of that

417
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 3: than those are. My best gifts are the ones that

418
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: just kind of come because I want to versus I got,

419
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 3: you know, at people telling me I have.

420
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 1: To because it's yeah, it's a buying season. So let

421
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:08,360
Speaker 1: me ask you this.

422
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:14,240
Speaker 2: Historically, I've been that typical guy that just waits till

423
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,160
Speaker 2: Christmas Eve and then I'm like, oh shit, I got

424
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: to go shopping. And I had a tradition with my

425
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 2: dad for many years before he stopped drinking, where we

426
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 2: would go to the mall on Christmas Eve as soon

427
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,400
Speaker 2: as it opened. It was literally like that Mervyn's commercial

428
00:22:31,400 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 2: open open. We'd go in early morning because we were

429
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 2: just early people and start shopping. And I'll never forget

430
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 2: one day we both went to lunch, both had a

431
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 2: couple of drinks. We were actually more than a couple

432
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 2: of drinks, and poured ourselves into the Apple Store and

433
00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 2: I walked out with this forty inch monitor. He walked

434
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,240
Speaker 2: out with a computer, and I don't know, it was

435
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: like six thousand dollars later we got home like what happened?

436
00:22:58,560 --> 00:22:59,480
Speaker 1: How did this happen?

437
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 2: So we got to stop drinking on Christmas Eve, but

438
00:23:03,720 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: it was it was kind of fun to do that,

439
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 2: not just because I got to spend time with my dad,

440
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 2: but it was just like.

441
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: Okay, the pressure's on.

442
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: I got to find something for my wife or my

443
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: girlfriend or who or my family, and it was like,

444
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,399
Speaker 2: go go, go, get it done, get it done. And

445
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 2: it all worked out. I got everybody at present, but

446
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:28,600
Speaker 2: it was under pressure. Now at this day and age,

447
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:30,000
Speaker 2: I just go to Amazon.

448
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,120
Speaker 1: So much easier, so much easier. Yeah, I was just saying,

449
00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:35,520
Speaker 1: it's funny.

450
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 3: It was the same way for such a long time.

451
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 3: Just get last minute presence. Yeah twenty four that was me,

452
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:45,840
Speaker 3: you know. But yeah, ted Teddy's like the queen of Amazon,

453
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:47,280
Speaker 3: so we don't have that problem anymore.

454
00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,159
Speaker 2: So do you like to go to the store and

455
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: shop or is it easier for you to find? Oh?

456
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 3: I love, like, personally for me shopping, I love going

457
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,760
Speaker 3: to a store and to find stuff on and yeah,

458
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:04,280
Speaker 3: I hate shopping online because it's just every everything fits different,

459
00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 3: you know.

460
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:05,359
Speaker 2: Yeah.

461
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:09,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I definitely like going to the store. Yeah.

462
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 2: I think it brings some nostalgia to like how we

463
00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:14,600
Speaker 2: grew up. We have to go to the store and

464
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:14,919
Speaker 2: buy it.

465
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: We didn't. You can't have it delivered.

466
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 3: I love taking my kids to shop. I love being

467
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,720

525
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 2: the little thing, and they are so meaningful, so meaningful

526
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,440
Speaker 2: because I know that the kids really thought it through, right,

527
