It is Oh my god, 0:01:03.480 --> 0:01:05.880 I mean it's just out of control, he said. I 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:09.600 was forced to cancel my trip. JP is screaming, crying, projectile, 0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:12.839 vomiting everywhere, all over our nanny's car, all over our couch, 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.320 and our brand new rug. The baby is screaming. My 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.679 wife has just begun vomiting. I had to raise home 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.760 from work and I have a splitting headache. Oh and 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:22.000 the dog is trying to eat the throw up and 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:27.399 won't stop looking. The world is the world is against me? Oh, buddy, Ryan, 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.920 I love that he says over our brand new rug, 0:01:29.959 --> 0:01:32.080 it's a brand new baby too. But you're just dismissing 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:34.920 that because that's causing the mess. My heart goes out 0:01:34.959 --> 0:01:38.399 to you, buddy. But the fact that he's he's actually 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.640 texting you all of that is it means he has time. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.280 He's not cleaning He should be cleaning up a few 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:46.080 cris My response was, oh, your trip is canceled, Great, 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:47.480 you can do the show with us, and he goes, 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.880 good luck. I don't want him coming in here smelling like, okay, 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.640 well this is this is the holiday edition, so we 0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.280 this this episode. We just want to have a ton 0:01:57.320 --> 0:01:59.240 of fun, and we're going to cover some background because 0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.080 we're all we're all new to each other this year. 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:06.520 But I'm curious first Christmas and and you're the best 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.720 dressed one here, Dmitri. Can we talk about what you're wearing? 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:14.600 Right now here is nothing in answer, only has a 0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:17.920 sweater on. It's a Christmas sweater. Some mighty call an 0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:22.520 ugly Christmas weater fantastic Christmas. What my thinking was In Tahoe, 0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:26.440 Rick wore a speedo that showed off his best attributes, 0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:29.800 so I thought I'd wear this to get away with it. 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:33.080 Which attribute for our listeners is it highlighting? And for 0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:35.600 others that may not know, I think the only highlighting 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.760 that's going on are the flashing lights on the sweater. 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.160 You want another sad part two? It has three blinking 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.000 things on it and only one of them is blinking. 0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:46.960 That's I'm already down to bulbs. In your defense, though, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.960 when when a bulb inside a sweater burns out, that's 0:02:49.960 --> 0:02:53.960 a hard fix. Yeah, right, you gotta have your needle 0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.840 and threat. Yeah, but I do appreciate the spirit that 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.880 you showed up with, buddy. Thanks. It says all lit up, 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:03.200 But obviously I'm up and partially not yet, no, just partial. 0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.120 The not is young. So we're gonna get into the holidays. 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:08.800 We're gonna dig into the holidays. I love the holidays. 0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:10.200 We're gonna dig into it and what it means to 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:15.640 you guys, So, first off, your favorite holiday memory all time? 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:22.240 Do you have a single favorite memory? I don't know. 0:03:22.320 --> 0:03:24.399 Mine's actually a little bit deep. Mine's a little deep, 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:28.480 to be honest with. My favorite holiday of all time 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:30.919 obviously was Christmas at my parents house, which we always 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:35.840 go there. Um, and I had graduated college, but also 0:03:35.920 --> 0:03:39.760 took me a few years to sort of get the diploma. Okay, 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:45.040 it's okay, so you know the six year planets. Okay, buddy, 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.280 no longer than that. But anyway, no one was home 0:03:48.320 --> 0:03:50.720 to sign for it when it arrived, you know. And 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.920 this is kind of in my later years. Obviously I 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.360 didn't go to college when I was twelve, but um, 0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:00.280 I had finally graduated and I had wrapped in got 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:03.360 my diploma and got it all framed with the University 0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.200 of California at Berkeley, and I wrapped it and gave 0:04:06.240 --> 0:04:10.080 it to my parents and it was emotional, like it 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:11.840 was emotional and it was a big deal. I was 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.480 so proud to give that to them and show them 0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.080 that I actually had accomplished that, you know, I finished 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:21.080 and it was just like I started bursting out in tears. 0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.039 You know, this is probably three years ago. I just 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.000 getting how many years ago. God, I'm embarrassed to say. 0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.160 I don't want to tell you it was. It was 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.560 a while ago, but past the normal graduation. And that 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.440 frame is still there on the mantel. There's a different 0:04:36.440 --> 0:04:38.800 picture in it now, but they kept the frame. Took 0:04:38.839 --> 0:04:43.120 the diploma out now the paper airplane love loved the frame. 0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:45.640 But it was for that for me, um, you know, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:48.440 even growing up and getting all the cool toys or 0:04:48.480 --> 0:04:50.719 the bike or whatever you want to call it, um 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:56.080 or the traditional Christmas morning toys or whatever. Um, having 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.120 that moment and actually being able to give back to 0:04:58.200 --> 0:05:01.560 my parents something that they held me achieved, that I 0:05:01.640 --> 0:05:05.000 achieved and then you know, having that kind of door 0:05:05.080 --> 0:05:07.240 closed for me was was a big deal. And I 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.000 think they were very impressed with that as well, and 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.080 I was. It was a proud moment, right, it was 0:05:11.080 --> 0:05:14.360 a special holiday. That's awesome. Yeah, thanks for sharing, Dmitri. 0:05:14.440 --> 0:05:16.720 What about your favorite? A deep one and a not 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:19.680 deep one? Which one would you like? Both? Okay, the 0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:23.040 not deep one was um. When I was in third grade, 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:25.640 my brother second grade, My brother told me that he 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.479 heard Santa Claus. He was our bathroom. So I was like, 0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:29.680 he said, he heard the boots go in there in 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:31.359 the middle, and I thought that was awesome. So I 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:34.560 went to school and I told everybody, and not everybody 0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.680 believed me for reasons he might be able to figure out. 0:05:37.839 --> 0:05:39.960 And so it was fun then because it was exciting. 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:42.320 But then years later I really appreciate it because he 0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:45.000 knew that he was lying to me, but he knew 0:05:45.000 --> 0:05:46.440 that I would go in and tell everybody school, so 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:53.080 I but I really appreciated that. It's because it was 0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:56.400 a solid joke. It really paid off. Um, were the 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:59.640 boot tracks in the bathroom he did that? I woke 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:01.120 up and I heard the boots go into the bathroom 0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:03.160 downstairs in the hallway, and I was like, man, and 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:04.680 he's like he washed his hands and you know, the 0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:05.880 whole thing. And I was like, oh, so he probably 0:06:05.920 --> 0:06:07.680 took off his gloves. I went through the whole thing. 0:06:08.520 --> 0:06:10.120 Did he set up like did he take a boot 0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.360 outside like put it in in some water? So no, 0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.000 because I was in like second grade, like I wasn't 0:06:14.000 --> 0:06:16.600 gonna I wasn't bright enough. You just wondered to take it. 0:06:16.760 --> 0:06:21.920 Did he take a dump in the bathroom the toilet, Oh, 0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:23.600 he's got a little opening in the back there's a 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:28.040 little patch in there, and I think those are pajamas. Okay, 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:32.039 now you're now you're deep and thoughtful, memorable one. Okay, 0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:37.039 So my deep one was it was third grade and yeah, 0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:41.600 well it was a year or later, so yeah year. Yeah, well, 0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:44.480 you know, it all went downhill at um third grade. 0:06:44.760 --> 0:06:47.080 My I think I've talked about it before, but my 0:06:47.120 --> 0:06:49.919 brother passed away on December three, so it was right 0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.839 before Christmas. And on Christmas, my parents gave us, eating 0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.600 my sisters and my other brother and myself presence from 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.280 him and said that he picked him out before he 0:06:59.320 --> 0:07:03.320 passed away. And it was the It was the greatest thing, 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.360 and that was the best gift I ever got, and 0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.920 I held onto it forever. And even when those things 0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.680 it was like this radio, this little compact radio, even 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:13.720 when it wasn't in style anymore like Walkman's came out, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.560 I still was like, that's this this radio, and I 0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.160 kind of forgot that, you know, there was better things 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.000 out there, and I just held out of that radio. Now, 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.520 the truth is, I don't whether that happened or not. 0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:25.680 Whether my parents just bought it and said it was 0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.160 from him, probably the case, but Um, to me, that 0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.600 was before I It took me probably thirty years before 0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:34.080 I actually thought that maybe that was it. In my heart, 0:07:34.120 --> 0:07:36.880 I always thought it was from him. Yeah, that's awesome. 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:40.520 It's really cool, isn't it powerful? Like the sentimental value 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:43.840 of some things. It's not even about the object, but 0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:46.080 there's things in my life that that are just so 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.040 insanely valuable because of the moment they were given to me, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.800 or how or the person that gave it to me. 0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:53.240 The sentimental value of something. Do you guys have anything 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:54.880 that you've had like all your lives? Like I have 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.320 my blankie that I got when I was born and 0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.200 I still sleep with it every night. I'm not lying, 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:03.040 but do you have anything like that? I have a 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.680 couple of things, actually I have. I have some pocks 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:09.160 from when I was a kid. Um. I don't know 0:08:09.200 --> 0:08:11.360 how I got them, but I remember these pucks from 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:15.280 my childhood. UM. I also have the six little unique 0:08:15.320 --> 0:08:17.840 cars I cut. When I was growing up, I would 0:08:17.880 --> 0:08:21.000 mow lawns for money back home in Woda, and this 0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:24.160 gentleman named Ralph drinn And was like my first ever customer. 0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:25.520 I think I was like ten years old, and I 0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.200 would cut his lawn and I went to ask him 0:08:28.200 --> 0:08:29.960 for payment after I was done cutting his lawn, and 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.600 he's like, what do you charge? I was like, I 0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.160 have no idea, just whatever you want to pay me. Anyway, 0:08:34.200 --> 0:08:35.920 he paid me ten bucks every time to cut his lawn. 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.600 And then I cut his lawn for a couple of years. 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:43.280 And then he ordered these little vintage UM collectors set 0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:46.360 cars and it was a six pack, and he gave 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.040 me one car each week, this one time, for six 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.720 straight weeks. And he was a he was a army 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:57.120 vet uh for Canada. UM. Just a distinguished noble guy 0:08:57.160 --> 0:09:00.240 in town. Just always. I don't know. I just never 0:09:00.280 --> 0:09:03.240 had grandparents living anywhere around me that my closest grandparents 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:06.000 were seven years or seven months, seven years, seven months, 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:11.360 seven hours away, seven months away, seven months. It's quite 0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:14.040 a boat red. But he was like somewhat of a 0:09:14.120 --> 0:09:15.920 grandfather in a way. And I would sit and I 0:09:15.960 --> 0:09:17.880 would I would talk with him after I mowed his 0:09:17.960 --> 0:09:20.040 lawn and he would give me these cars. And I 0:09:20.080 --> 0:09:22.120 still have those cars in our attic here in the house. 0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:25.080 I've moved them down from its I just haven't been 0:09:25.080 --> 0:09:28.160 able to get rid of them. I have no idea why. Yeah, 0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.640 that's really cool. Quick question mowing lawns in Canada, it's 0:09:30.640 --> 0:09:33.120 always putay that like one one weekend out of the year. Yeah, 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:37.400 it's a seasonal thing. It's not a yeah you need 0:09:37.440 --> 0:09:42.319 another job. He would have made by the way I got. 0:09:42.360 --> 0:09:44.800 I got ten bucks every three months, even as even 0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:46.800 as a ten year old, you can't. You can't make 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:49.880 a living off that you do have anything that you've 0:09:49.960 --> 0:09:53.240 just had all your lives. No, I don't. I not 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:54.960 that I could. I mean when you ask the question, 0:09:54.960 --> 0:09:57.520 it doesn't. Nothing's popping into You're not really a material guy. 0:09:57.559 --> 0:09:59.640 Like I'm really not. I kind of get rid of things. 0:09:59.640 --> 0:10:01.560 Not to worst, I try so hard with your birthday 0:10:01.559 --> 0:10:05.360 every year, and like I've never gotten you something you like. Yeah, well, 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:08.360 like I mean to do it.

My brother 0:10:45.000 --> 0:10:46.400 said to me the other day, when did you become 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:49.520 so bitter and just crmudgeon e? And I was like, 0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:52.800 you know, I don't love it. I think it's just 0:10:52.840 --> 0:10:54.960 so stressful. That's what I want to ask you, guys, like, 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:56.800 because women get so stressed at the holl doesn't want 0:10:56.800 --> 0:10:58.840 to see if men do, like all the cooking, the shopping, 0:10:58.840 --> 0:11:01.560 the cleaning, the getting the house decorated, Like I got 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.440 this and that and all these I gotta help my 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.320 mom order all the stuff for my nieces and all. 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:08.080 And I'm just like, I do want to I do 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:09.800 want to ask Brooks if if there was a memory 0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.640 that you had growing up of the holidays or Christmas 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:15.280 or whatever you celebrate, you know that that really sticks 0:11:15.280 --> 0:11:17.959 with you. The the only two that come to mind. 0:11:18.080 --> 0:11:19.960 I remember when I was like super young, I was 0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:22.000 like five, and I got a new pair of hockey 0:11:22.000 --> 0:11:25.000 gloves and they were like wait, they almost came to 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.080 my elbows like they I was like, okay, I'm wearing 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:31.120 these six years. Yeah, we're ruining the apple trees after 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:35.600 like they were. They were so long. UM, I was 0:11:35.640 --> 0:11:38.160 obviously going to grow into these. But I remember, and 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.320 I have an awesome photo my brothers in the back 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:42.640 of that photo, and I think he might even have 0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:46.040 some of my hockey gear on. Um. I'm like maybe five, 0:11:46.080 --> 0:11:49.480 he's like maybe three. Um, just because I have the 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.320 visual of that, that was so cool. And then another 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:54.800 one that really sticks with me is when I was nineteen, 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:58.760 I made the Canadian national junior team and the biggest 0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:03.520 junior hockey tournament in the world, the World Junior Championship, starts. Uh, 0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:07.800 Boxing Day every year? What is that Boxing Day? Boxing? 0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.280 What Boxing Day? No? I know, it has nothing to 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:14.160 do with boxing in can't Maybe it's just a Canadian 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.480 thing it is, Um. I think everything goes on sale 0:12:17.480 --> 0:12:21.480 on Boxing Day, so like Friday, I guess. So yeah, 0:12:21.520 --> 0:12:25.600 I don't know, like a holiday. I have no idea. 0:12:27.200 --> 0:12:31.200 It's called boxing. Do you know the date? Yeah, December, 0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:34.719 so we don't have like dinners for Boxing Day. I 0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:36.360 don't know what it is. Maybe it's you box up 0:12:36.360 --> 0:12:37.720 the crappy gifts you got and you take them back, 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:41.560 you know, maybe that's what But Boxing Day things go 0:12:41.640 --> 0:12:44.440 on sale. It's observed as a holiday in which postman 0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:47.560 arrand boys and servants are expected to receive a Christmas box. 0:12:47.720 --> 0:12:50.480 It's the first weekday after Christmas, so we're supposed to, like, 0:12:51.040 --> 0:12:56.000 you know, celebrate those who serve you throughout the It 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:58.280 sounds much more glamorous like boxing. I thought it was 0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:01.480 a holiday, like people come over for dinner. It's boxing. Yea. 0:13:01.760 --> 0:13:05.319 Now it's kind of just like celebrating boxing, like the 0:13:05.400 --> 0:13:08.720 nice invitation come on over for Boxing Day. Selene's um. 0:13:08.760 --> 0:13:12.280 But on the on Christmas morning when I was nineteen, 0:13:13.160 --> 0:13:16.240 I practiced with Team Canada. We had our practice Christmas 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:19.240 morning because our tournament started the very next day, and 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:22.880 so my family flew in. We're the tournament was in Halifax, 0:13:22.880 --> 0:13:27.200 Nova Scotia. Family flew in UM. We had practiced the morning, 0:13:27.280 --> 0:13:29.720 saw the family for the evening, and then we played 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:33.000 against Sweden the next day to open the tournament. Biggest 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:35.760 World Junior Championship, biggest tournament as a young kid trying 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:38.120 to make the NHL uh and then I scored on 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:39.960 my very first shift like a minute and a half 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.840 in and so that was just like in Canada, you 0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:48.120 grow up watching the World Junior Championship at Christmas, families 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.720 do it together. It unites the nation. It's the biggest 0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:53.200 thing for Canada. It's amazing and so to be part 0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:57.160 of that awesome. Now, before we get to the excitement 0:13:57.240 --> 0:13:59.640 that we have planned for you all, does anything about 0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:05.360 the Holida trust you guys out like buying gifts like 0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.559 it's this is I'm not even close to done Christmas shopping, 0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:15.240 Like I'm haven't started even started. Like if Amazon Prime 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:19.560 screws me, I'm dad, i am dead if like and 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:22.120 maybe it's gonna be boxed down, Oh my god. It's 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:27.240 just every single amy, every single year, I'm like, Okay, 0:14:27.280 --> 0:14:30.200 I'm gonna get this done in October or November, and 0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:33.040 then it's December and I don't have I have like 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:36.520 one crappy thing that she might like see. I have 0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.880 my wife and I This year, we're like we're getting 0:14:39.920 --> 0:14:45.160 stuff done before the night of everything. I mean every 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.280 every year it's till midnight. And I think that's part 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.480 of the part going into your next question of like 0:14:51.080 --> 0:14:52.840 the part that bumps me out It's like I'm always 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.040 tired on Christmas Day and then you're kind of milling around, 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.240 you're eating or you're doing whatever, and I'm like, why 0:14:57.360 --> 0:14:59.120 is that? And so I'm like, this year's goal was 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.480 to try to package thing. I love shopping, like I 0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:07.880 I like that, So I both so actually that part 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:11.480 of the holidays really I like a lot, you know, 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.800 like I've already have a list of twenty five things 0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:18.000 on my phone of like kids, family, all this kind 0:15:18.040 --> 0:15:19.560 of stuff, and now I've got to just go and 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:25.360 like execute on it. Right, that was the time. I mean, 0:15:27.160 --> 0:15:29.240 I guess I get a better order of that stuff. 0:15:30.080 --> 0:15:32.960 I mean, good for you, because that's not me. I'm 0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:35.280 this is this is actually something that stresses me up. 0:15:35.840 --> 0:15:40.040 So I tell Julianne this is my whole life. I'm like, 0:15:40.360 --> 0:15:43.480 this is what I want for Christmas x y Z 0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:45.720 right here, here's the link. This is it. Don't even 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:47.720 look for anything else. This would make me the happiest 0:15:47.720 --> 0:15:50.480 man in the world. I get none of that in return, 0:15:51.560 --> 0:15:55.520 none of that. There's not suggestions, Yeah you want, you 0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:57.680 get what you want. You just don't. She just doesn't 0:15:57.720 --> 0:15:59.560 tell you this is what I want. So I get 0:15:59.600 --> 0:16:02.000 what yeah, I get what I want. Usually she was 0:16:02.040 --> 0:16:05.520 like this is yeah, and then that's amazing. Um, but 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:08.840 I have no direction for like what to get. I 0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:10.760 don't think women ever want to say I want this. 0:16:10.840 --> 0:16:12.360 They want you to figure it out and get That 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.040 would take sort of like the fun out of it, 0:16:14.080 --> 0:16:15.920 Like why is it fun for me to tell you 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:17.600 what I want? Then you just get it for me? Right, 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:19.280 you can get it yourself, because then you get the 0:16:19.280 --> 0:16:22.360 favorite thing in the world for free. Is such a 0:16:22.360 --> 0:16:25.560 strange concept of married couples because it's like, really, isn't 0:16:25.600 --> 0:16:27.920 it just sort of all y'all's money anyway? But that's 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:29.760 that's the other part. It's like I feel weird where 0:16:29.840 --> 0:16:33.840 it's like we're out of stage, not financially, but you're like, oh, 0:16:34.040 --> 0:16:36.040 if I can go get that tomorrow, why do I 0:16:36.080 --> 0:16:38.560 need to wait until? Because it's why do I have 0:16:38.600 --> 0:16:40.800 to wrap it and act surprised when I knew what 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.720 it was? Because it goes back to the sentimental value. 0:16:45.680 --> 0:16:47.320 My mom texted me the other day and she goes, 0:16:47.880 --> 0:16:51.240 don't get that coffee table you've been looking at, And 0:16:51.280 --> 0:16:53.080 so all I'm thinking is like, great, So now I 0:16:53.160 --> 0:16:57.960 have no coffee table until she get my wife. You know. 0:16:58.000 --> 0:17:00.040 Would be worse is if she just didn't like it 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:01.840 and she's not getting If she's like, don't get it 0:17:02.120 --> 0:17:04.800 and leaves Christmas cons and you still don't have a 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:06.880 coffee table. My wife, it will be like two weeks 0:17:06.920 --> 0:17:09.600 before her birthday and she'll be coming, like walking in 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.159 the room and have like brand new shiny earrings on 0:17:12.240 --> 0:17:14.640 a new bag. I'm like, oh, hey, that was really nice, 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:16.240 Like would you would you get there? Oh? I just 0:17:16.280 --> 0:17:18.680 picked him up.

You have your kids right, like their 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:57.919 Christmas list and then you put it in the fireplace 0:17:58.160 --> 0:18:00.200 and you burn it and Santa can read this smoke 0:18:00.280 --> 0:18:04.400 signals that come up.

You know what we used to do? 0:18:19.840 --> 0:18:21.240 You know what we used to do on Christmas? We 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:23.760 used to do this. I used to love this fund 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.280 that's good. I don't know why we used to fond 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.679 do on Christmas. That's always a New Year's thing for me, 0:18:29.920 --> 0:18:31.800 is it? Yeah? I haven't done it in probably like 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:33.920 twenty years. But when we were kids, we used to 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:39.200 fond do, like put steak in there and yeah, that's good. Um, okay, 0:18:39.320 --> 0:18:43.159 we're gonna get into some Christmas gifts.

We're gonna get 0:18:50.119 --> 0:18:59.720 into some Christmas gifts right after this break. This is 0:18:59.760 --> 0:19:05.280 how men think the holiday.
