1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,440
Speaker 1: Ah, the holidays a time for getting together with your

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 1: friends and your family and appreciating the fact that you

3
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: don't see them that much during the year. It is

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: the holiday season. And let's just came out of the

5
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: top six holiday traditions that people will be dropping this year,

6
00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: and they say they hope they never come back. Okay,

7
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: because of the coronavirus, you know, people aren't doing what

8
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: they normally do for the holidays. You can't really travel,

9
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: you can't get more than a person and a half

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: in a place at once, so family get togethers are

11
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: a lot smaller. People are just doing less for the

12
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: holiday season, and they're actually finding that it's a lot

13
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: less stressful for people. And a lot of people are

14
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: realizing that right now because a survey just asked a

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: ton of people what traditions they're not doing this year

16
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: that they hope never come back. Here's number six. Making

17
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:49,400
Speaker 1: different foods for different guests. Oh oh, what do you

18
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: mean different foods like having to have a vegetarian option, yeah,

19
00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 1: or vegan or mellergy yeah. Or you just have that

20
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 1: one picky person in your family, someone who's like, oh,

21
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: I can only eat chicken nuggets. Yeah, nothing on my

22
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: plate can touch. I need seventeen different plates, and by

23
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 1: the way, all of them are chicken nuggets. I need

24
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 1: one chicken nugget on each plate. Just people who are

25
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:11,959
Speaker 1: very picky and don't want to eat the same thing

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: as the rest of the group. So people are very

27
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: happy that they're not having to make food for a

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: ton of people, so they don't have to keep making

29
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: different foods for different guests, right text in four one

30
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:21,720
Speaker 1: oh six one. By the way, if you won't miss

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 1: any of these number five. According to the survey of

32
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: the holiday traditions that have gone away due to COVID

33
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: that people hope never come back. Having big groups of

34
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: guests come together. Oh yeah. Some people have huge families

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: where they get together and then they're always arguing with

36
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: each other and they I've talked to so many people

37
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: who are just like, oh, I don't want to go

38
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: over to my grandma's house because my brother's going to

39
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: be there, or my uncle's gonna be there, and every

40
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: single year he fights with my dad and then it's

41
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: all awkward, and I'm like, well, then why don't you

42
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: just not go? Well, thanks to COVID, now you don't

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: have to, and people are really happy about that. Also,

44
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: there's no holiday work parties this year, thank goodness. You

45
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: don't have to sit through that. Sometimes it can be

46
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: fun depending on where you work, Yeah, depending on your job.

47
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 1: The best holiday work party that I've ever been to, though,

48
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: it was amazing. It was when I worked at Fox

49
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: Sports Radio. Right. It was a huge company, so they

50
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,360
Speaker 1: had hundreds of employees and they had this big holiday

51
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: dinner at a banquet hall at a hotel. Right. Now,

52
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: that sounds pretty boring because it's you just sit there

53
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: and eat, But this was the most amazing holiday party

54
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: experience i've every what was it amazing though? Or were

55
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: you just hammered? No, it's amazing. Wait till I tell

56
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,360
Speaker 1: you why it was amazing. Okay, it was amazing because

57
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: the CEO got up there to speak at some point, right,

58
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: and he's talking about the company and how great they're doing.

59
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: By the way, I should note, they also did a

60
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,080
Speaker 1: bunch of layoffs leading up to the party, So he's

61
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,520
Speaker 1: talking about how great the company's doing, what a wonderful

62
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: year they've had, all the all the typical things that

63
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: CEOs do. Right. Well, one of the dudes who got

64
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 1: his hours cut, his wife was there with him, and

65
00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 1: she was hammered. So the CEO was giving his speech

66
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: and he said something like, you know, we've had a

67
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: great year, and you just hear yeah right. Oh, he

68
00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: is doing the thing, and this dude's drunk wife starts

69
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: heckling the CEO because he got his hours cut. Oh my.

70
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 1: And to make matters worse, the CEO's assistant was sitting

71
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: at the table next to ours. I look over at

72
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: her and I see her take a paper, look over

73
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,000
Speaker 1: and write down a name. Next day, that dude got fired.

74
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: Oh god, that was a holiday No, okay, so you

75
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: didn't actually have a good time. It was just like

76
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: a terrible sequence of events. But I love awkward moments,

77
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: so for me, that was a great time. I was like,

78
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: this is amazing. I can't wait to see what happens.

79
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:43,720
