Speaker 1: This week on the Happy Half Hour. They've got an
Speaker 1: opportunity this week again Detroit is I keep having to
Speaker 1: check myself because things that don't make any sense are
Speaker 1: actually true now, Like the Detroit Lions are really good. Yes,
Speaker 1: but you know, Steve didn't want players talking about playoffs.
Speaker 1: But if you beat the Lions, you're effectively going to
Speaker 1: Tampa next week to play for the division type. It's
Speaker 1: time for the Happy Half Hour with your friends Kristin Balboni,
Speaker 1: Augusta Stone, and Darren Gannon. That's right, it's that time
Speaker 1: of the week. It's the Happy half Hour podcast with
Speaker 1: your friends Darren, Augusta and Kristen. We are recording this
Speaker 1: on Wednesday morning, which is actually Thursday morning because Sunday
Speaker 1: is Saturday, and that has thrown me for a loop completely.
Speaker 1: And it's the shortest day of the year and it's
Speaker 1: freezing so how are we all doing? I didn't even
Speaker 1: realize it was the shortest day of the year. I know.
Speaker 1: Darren Bliss, his heart is struggling with the with the
Speaker 1: days of the week. We've we had a good few
Speaker 1: conversations about it yesterday. Darren, You've got to bless your
Speaker 1: heart already yeah, and I need it to be blessed.
Speaker 1: It is very needed. When football coaches start saying started
Speaker 1: talking about the schedule and they say, all right, Wednesday's Thursday. Uh,
Speaker 1: and then Tuesday is going to be a Monday and
Speaker 1: what what what day is it? Actually now they were
Speaker 1: you know, I published a story yesterday with a transaction
Speaker 1: saying Andre Roberts was activated Wednesday, and it ghost It's
Speaker 1: like there Tuesday, it's in the future, you know, in
Speaker 1: the future Panthers dot com. It's not just an app
Speaker 1: and a source of all your news for your favorite
Speaker 1: football team. It's a time machine. I completely agree. This
Speaker 1: has thrown me off more so than the Thursday game
Speaker 1: because it's just one day, is off right, Everything on
Speaker 1: a short week is truncated, but this everything is just
Speaker 1: one day. But then some of your meetings that are
Speaker 1: normally on a certain day are still on those days.
Speaker 1: So I've I've had to write everything down this week. Um.
Speaker 1: But I did ask Steve Wilkes as far as the
Speaker 1: short week. I was like, does that it's one day shorter, right,
Speaker 1: everyone we're playing on Saturday. Does that affect recovery time?
Speaker 1: And he was like not really like it seems like
Speaker 1: the football side is dealing with this a little bit
Speaker 1: better than the original side, right and and thankfully so,
Speaker 1: because they've got the jobs and everybody's concerned about because
Speaker 1: it's it is just a thing in terms of I
Speaker 1: think with this roster. I remember which trip was one
Speaker 1: of the road trips we came back from, and Wilkes
Speaker 1: had had the guys go straight back into the stadium
Speaker 1: to begin the process. Thursday was the short week Sunday before,
Speaker 1: and so the recovery time is a huge deal for
Speaker 1: these guys, and and if they are one short, that
Speaker 1: is something they can make up by being intentional with
Speaker 1: other things. But yeah, it just throws us for a loop,
Speaker 1: especially with you know, major religious holidays coming up the
Speaker 1: end of the week that I'm not nearly prepared for.
Speaker 1: Me same, isn't that all of us again in the
Speaker 1: in the digital offices? Um, all right, well, let's let's
Speaker 1: go back to I mean, it started out so fun
Speaker 1: and and uh warm, let's let's go back to the
Speaker 1: game that was that was less so with the Steelers game.
Speaker 1: Let's just kind of have a little post mortem on
Speaker 1: it if we can. Uh, Darren, I got we were
Speaker 1: your biggest takeaways from that game. Basically, what happened was
Speaker 1: two things happened. Number One, the Steelers did to the
Speaker 1: Panthers what the Panthers been to another people. And number two,
Speaker 1: you got Mike Tomlin by Mike Tomlin, and he's great
Speaker 1: at this job, and he had his guys ready. They're
Speaker 1: kind of messy right now. The Steelers aren't classic Steelers
Speaker 1: teams that are played in the way we're used to
Speaker 1: seeing them play. But this guy has been coaching for
Speaker 1: sixteen years. Uh, this is this If he can't steer
Speaker 1: him out of the skin, and when out will be
Speaker 1: his first losing season in sixteen years. So you kind
Speaker 1: of know what you were getting. And they just sort
Speaker 1: of walked in and punched him in the mouth. And
Speaker 1: all these guys around here were a little bit shocked.
Speaker 1: I mean, Bradley Bozeman Sunday Night was on the verge
Speaker 1: of tears because they're just so unaccustomed to that happening
Speaker 1: to them. They're the ones used to punching people in
Speaker 1: the mouth lately, and to have it done to them.
Speaker 1: I mean, I went back and looked at some of
Speaker 1: the tape with some of the guys downstairs the other day,
Speaker 1: and when you see it on film, a lot of
Speaker 1: it's just getting physically whipped and a lot of it's
Speaker 1: just getting beat to a spot, having your head in
Speaker 1: the wrong place, and an offensive line that had become
Speaker 1: the identity of a team was suddenly a liability. And
Speaker 1: when that happens, that like shakes the foundation of everything
Speaker 1: the team's trying to do in that moment. And then
Speaker 1: the Steelers come out of halftime and take the ball
Speaker 1: and basically spend the entire third quarter with the ball,
Speaker 1: and I was about that, Yeah, close to twelve minute
Speaker 1: drive and the third quarter there it's hard to win
Speaker 1: the other team has the ball for an entire quarter,
Speaker 1: I guess. So what were some of your biggest takeaways
Speaker 1: from this game? Kind Of like Darren said, I think
Speaker 1: it was just deflating, especially at certain points, um like
Speaker 1: where Darren left off, But that that drive. I talked
Speaker 1: with a lot of the defense about it, and and
Speaker 1: they had a very like somber tone, I think, especially
Speaker 1: with how things had been trending so upwards since Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: it was one of those things where, I mean things
Speaker 1: were just they were going well, and in that drive,
Speaker 1: I mean third down after third down after third down.
Speaker 1: I think they converted five third hounds on that one
Speaker 1: drive and ended up in getting a touchdown even though
Speaker 1: there was the penalty. And I was just looking back
Speaker 1: and I was like, I mean, it says they went
Speaker 1: like nye yards, but they actually went more because they
Speaker 1: were It was just it was it was that that
Speaker 1: was They talk a lot on the other side of
Speaker 1: the ball about demoralizing, and I felt like, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's perfectly put that it was what the Panthers had
Speaker 1: been doing to other teams. It was almost like that's
Speaker 1: what happened to the Panthers at home. But what's crazy
Speaker 1: y about it is that even though that game, you know,
Speaker 1: was deflating and in that locker room afterward it felt
Speaker 1: really bad, about two hours later, Panthers still controlled their
Speaker 1: own destiny. We wrote about it on Panthers dot com.
Speaker 1: Bucks lost to the Bengals and and it was one
Speaker 1: of those things where it was like, well, actually, I
Speaker 1: mean not to throw it, throw it out, but you
Speaker 1: can move forward, you know, you can move forward, win
Speaker 1: it all, and it's you're in the same place. It's
Speaker 1: it's fascinating. I was just I was just thinking about that.
Speaker 1: I started laughing. So when I got home from talking about,
Speaker 1: you know, um, the Bucks Bengals game. When I got
Speaker 1: home from our game, of course, you know, knowing that
Speaker 1: that game was on and that did have a huge
Speaker 1: part um in um in how good or bad that
Speaker 1: day was going to end? Right, um? So I got
Speaker 1: home and um, I asked my husband, I said, we
Speaker 1: got to, you know, turn on this game. Is it
Speaker 1: on TV? And he said, yeah, it's on, but the
Speaker 1: Bucks are up seventeen to nothing and I went, oh, no,
Speaker 1: you know that's oh, this is not going to be good.
Speaker 1: And then slowly as we watched, the tide really really turns.
Speaker 1: So you know, it's a it was a weird week
Speaker 1: in the NFL all around, but as you said, Panthers
Speaker 1: are still in charge of their own destiny. Yeah. And
Speaker 1: the amazing thing about this trashy little neighborhood that we
Speaker 1: live in called the NFC. So what you're going to
Speaker 1: say after that, it's somebody's going to win this division.
Speaker 1: It's possible that somebody could win this division at six
Speaker 1: and eleven, oddly enough, But you know the reason immediately
Speaker 1: after that game, I mean that game last Sunday, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say it felt like a funeral. That's extreme,
Speaker 1: but it was super deflating for those guys because they
Speaker 1: had build a little momentum. The Seattle game was a
Speaker 1: big turning point. You had finally gone on the road
Speaker 1: beating a playoff level team, beating a good team, period,
Speaker 1: and it's what they needed. And then to come back
Speaker 1: with that, it's like it took some of that away.
Speaker 1: Now they've got an opportunity this week again Detroit. Is
Speaker 1: I keep having to check myself because things that don't
Speaker 1: make any sense are actually true now, Like the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions are really good. Yes, they're one of the hottest
Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, won five of the last six.
Speaker 1: Jared Goff suddenly can't turn the ball over. Um, and
Speaker 1: they're playing really well. They've got um, they've got one
Speaker 1: of those bright young minds and Ben Johnson calling plays
Speaker 1: for him and and that's the kind of people everybody
Speaker 1: seem to want this time of year. But it's going
Speaker 1: to be fascinating to see if they can, if they
Speaker 1: can get a win. And I almost used the phrase
Speaker 1: steal a win against the Lions, which again sounds insane
Speaker 1: because it's the Lions were talking about Yeah, that game
Speaker 1: looks different on the schedule. When the schedule comes out
Speaker 1: or even in the preseason, you go okay, right, you know,
Speaker 1: and then to look, there could be one of the
Speaker 1: toughest games in this last stretch, which you know, Steve
Speaker 1: didn't want players talking about playoffs. But if you beat
Speaker 1: the Lions, you're effectively going to Tampa next week to
Speaker 1: play for the division title basically, you know, at least thematically,
Speaker 1: if not math radically. And it's it's just alarming to
Speaker 1: think about with all the twists and turns of this season.
Speaker 1: So I mean, I'm kind of curious to go out
Speaker 1: to practice today Wednesday. Hey, I gotta rise. I could
Speaker 1: not have. I've already forgotten. Its Wednesday, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: be in full pads for the last time this season,
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be I want to watch this practice
Speaker 1: because that's where you'll kind of get a sense of
Speaker 1: where they're at. I mean, I've seen enough of these
Speaker 1: things where teams kind of you hate to say it,
Speaker 1: but check out a little bit and it's not the
Speaker 1: same intensity. But we talked the other week prior to
Speaker 1: the Seattle game, I was like that practice in the
Speaker 1: bubble that day that was different. He told us that
Speaker 1: on this podcast you couldn't just tell and so I'm
Speaker 1: kind of curious to see what it looks like when
Speaker 1: we go out there today. I imagine they're going to
Speaker 1: be as ramped up as as they can be this
Speaker 1: time of year. But it's um yeah, it's obviously a
Speaker 1: huge game for a lot of people for a lot
Speaker 1: of reasons. And I do think that's interesting. I want
Speaker 1: to go back to that because I asked Wilkes of
Speaker 1: out putting on the pads, you know, and and Augustie
Speaker 1: wrote a great article on Panthers dot com about the
Speaker 1: logistics of all of it, and they only have Darren,
Speaker 1: as you said, one more padded practice. Um So I
Speaker 1: talked to him. I said, well, okay, when you have
Speaker 1: a game where you don't do the things that you're
Speaker 1: known for that have become your identity, how do you
Speaker 1: get back to that in a week that's short by
Speaker 1: one day? And that was one of the first things
Speaker 1: he said, was was putting on the pads for the
Speaker 1: last time. So Augusta, what what is he trying to
Speaker 1: do to get these guys back to what they know
Speaker 1: they can be. I found it interesting because he was
Speaker 1: he was explaining himself in that press conference, like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if that was it was the first week
Speaker 1: since he had gotten here that they had not been
Speaker 1: in full pads. At one point he was like, I
Speaker 1: don't want to say that was why. You know, this
Speaker 1: was last week. Yeah, yes, coming off of a long
Speaker 1: Seattle trip exactly. It was like between Seattle and Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: That was the first one. And and he was like
Speaker 1: in his press conference on Monday, I didn't want it
Speaker 1: to be like, I don't think that's why necessarily, But
Speaker 1: I think it's going back to basics. That's one thing
Speaker 1: he's talked about a lot that I find really interesting.
Speaker 1: It's like fundamentals, not doing the most but doing the
Speaker 1: little things and everything, kind of like back to square
Speaker 1: one and perfecting that. And so it's like, if we
Speaker 1: go back to basics, go back to what like since
Speaker 1: since Wilkes had gotten here, what the Panthers had done.
Speaker 1: And I also find it interesting and I want to
Speaker 1: ask about this, but putting the pads on Wednesday, if
Speaker 1: we're talking about the days of the week thing, Wednesday
Speaker 1: is a Thursday. He had moved it from Thursday under
Speaker 1: rule to Wednesday here, which Tuesday would have been Wednesday,
Speaker 1: so you know what I mean, Like it's in the
Speaker 1: day of the week the same, but it is different
Speaker 1: game prep because we have been doing it the way
Speaker 1: that we had been here. It would have been Tuesday
Speaker 1: versus Saturday. Wait a minute, right there a Thursday night
Speaker 1: football game tonight? I mean, no, is there? It's Wednesday.
Speaker 1: We are at the point where we are so loopy
Speaker 1: and confused if anyone can follow us in our if
Speaker 1: Thursday Night football happened on a Wednesday, because it's a
Speaker 1: short week for everybody because of Christmas, that would have thrown.
Speaker 1: That would have just caused the head to just launch
Speaker 1: right off, so you wouldn't be capable of it now.
Speaker 1: I would have to end the podcast right now if
Speaker 1: that was the case. But yeah, I think that's interesting,
Speaker 1: and I haven't had the opportunity to ask about that
Speaker 1: because it just clicked. But this is later in the week.
Speaker 1: Then they've had full pads practice since Wilkes has been here.
Speaker 1: He moved it up, So I wonder if that is
Speaker 1: really just a get it in their head physical game,
Speaker 1: not as many days to turn around, go back out
Speaker 1: there kind of thing. You know, Coop just hit me.
Speaker 1: So that is that that is some of the things
Speaker 1: that they are trying to get right on a on
Speaker 1: a short week. Now something else that is also going
Speaker 1: to be a challenge. Not just the fact that the
Speaker 1: Lions are on a hot streak and they're playing great
Speaker 1: football right now. Um, it's also going to be potentially
Speaker 1: the coldest game in Panthers history. And Augusta. I'm looking
Speaker 1: over at your computer and you have a weather chart.
Speaker 1: I mean it's like got bay ends of wind. Um.
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. It doesn't look good for
Speaker 1: me out there from that chart. What have you? You said?
Speaker 1: You've become an expert on this game. So if you're
Speaker 1: coming to the game, Um, what can you expect from
Speaker 1: our weather person? So cold? So cold? So um, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at this from weather brown horrible. So the teens
Speaker 1: are in red, not blue or purple, but red, which
Speaker 1: looks so much more intimidating than if it were blue.
Speaker 1: So the whole Carolinas is just red. This is the
Speaker 1: wind shills expected at one pm Saturday, Okay, seventeen degrees
Speaker 1: around our little area in Charlotte. So I mean, if
Speaker 1: it's not cold enough, just cold, the windshill is going
Speaker 1: to be ridiculous, but it is on pace to be
Speaker 1: the coldest home game in the history, which would be
Speaker 1: above the eighth coldest ever no matter where the Panthers
Speaker 1: have gone, according to the long list of the coldest
Speaker 1: games everywhere, which I also have pulled up here because
Speaker 1: weather expert. Yeah, so here's all of them. The other
Speaker 1: the coldest game at the at the Bank America Stadium
Speaker 1: in the in the history eight it was thirty at kickoff.
Speaker 1: They're expecting it to be colder than that. So its
Speaker 1: my friends who cover the Packers. They kind of point
Speaker 1: and laugh when I start talking about cold weather. Uh,
Speaker 1: and everything is relative. I mean, yes, there are a
Speaker 1: lot of field eights at this great post earlier this
Speaker 1: week that showed some of the temperatures that are going
Speaker 1: to be on Saturday kickoffs across the country, and most
Speaker 1: of them are colder than than the Panthers. But for
Speaker 1: you know, the southern people here, it's it's cold. We
Speaker 1: don't spend time up there, right. We chose to live
Speaker 1: here people. I'll tell you what. I lived for two
Speaker 1: years in Chicago and three years in Connecticut, and um,
Speaker 1: I'm glad that the coldest game is going to be
Speaker 1: in the you know, twenties or thirties. Oh and I
Speaker 1: mean listen, I I looking at that chart. I was
Speaker 1: at the NFC Championship game in Green Bay and nine
Speaker 1: when it was three and I don't ever, I don't
Speaker 1: ever want to experience Arian's three again in my life.
Speaker 1: That's not enough degrees. It should be manymore than three
Speaker 1: anytime I'm outdoors ever. But yeah, I mean it is.
Speaker 1: It is a factor. And I do think not everything
Speaker 1: has to be about football, but when you think about
Speaker 1: the way this game sets up, I mean, the Lions
Speaker 1: are a throat around team. Jared Goff is a guy
Speaker 1: who's He's not Kenny Pickett, but he's got his hands
Speaker 1: are on the smaller side. So and he traditionally has
Speaker 1: not played well in cold weather, now does he? I
Speaker 1: I don't know. This is a whole different situation than
Speaker 1: when he was playing in l A before. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: the Lions play their games in a comfortable seventy degrees
Speaker 1: inside of Ford Field. I don't know if it's going
Speaker 1: to become an issue, but if you think about it
Speaker 1: from a football perspective, because of the way the Lions
Speaker 1: operate offense versus what the Carolina Panthers want to do,
Speaker 1: which turn around and hand it to beond tape form
Speaker 1: and thirty five times. You would think if the weather
Speaker 1: is an advantage to anyone, it would be an advantage
Speaker 1: to the home team. And it's weird to say the
Speaker 1: Lions aren't as used to play an in cold weather.
Speaker 1: It's Carolina Panthers. But this may be true, and this
Speaker 1: it is the truth. But don't you also just feel like,
Speaker 1: from what we know about Dan Campbell, he's got them
Speaker 1: out there with like ice packs strapped to their you know,
Speaker 1: the pads today or something, just trying to get them
Speaker 1: ready for the cold weather. Like there's something I can't
Speaker 1: wait to find out if he did something crazy. But
Speaker 1: you're right, Dan Campbell is probably out there in shore
Speaker 1: to like Ben McAdoo, Yes, absolutely, and like a tank top.
Speaker 1: Right absolutely. But yeah, I asked Steve Folks, I said,
Speaker 1: is the weather a factor or is it not a factor?
Speaker 1: And he said, no, it's not you know, which is
Speaker 1: what you gotta say, right, It's yes, That's exactly what
Speaker 1: he said in AUGUSTA. If if you've been listening to
Speaker 1: this this podcast every week, AUGUSTA has always said that
Speaker 1: about you know, Wilkes will say, here are the it's,
Speaker 1: and we can't focus on that, And that's what he said.
Speaker 1: It's the it this week is is the weather and
Speaker 1: we can't let that distract us. He'll bring up it's
Speaker 1: all the time. I did want to have a shout
Speaker 1: to to when I was at practice yesterday, Um a
Speaker 1: bunch of heaters where out players were going putting their
Speaker 1: gloves under and putting their helmets under them. But I
Speaker 1: had a chance to speak with Cuba Hubbard, who is
Speaker 1: from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, and Uh Kenny, our photographer, and
Speaker 1: I were just you know, having some some quick small
Speaker 1: chie in between drills about how cold it was, and
Speaker 1: he goes, y'all look up what it is at home
Speaker 1: for me right now. So I looked it up. It
Speaker 1: was negative when chill's negative forty, they're not getting out
Speaker 1: of the negatives until Friday at Cuba's hometown. So I
Speaker 1: know of anybody on the roster who isn't going to
Speaker 1: care um if that's what he grew up, and I
Speaker 1: think it's northern Canada. Oh my goodness, Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1: I was like, yeah, you know what you're right, because
Speaker 1: I don't think I've ever even experienced sub zero negative.
Speaker 1: I was shocked. I can't imagine. I cannot imagine. Yep,
Speaker 1: that was an interesting part of my day. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: before we say goodbye, I want to do a little something. Um.
Speaker 1: I've been thinking about this a lot. What are the
Speaker 1: definitive big three holiday rankings? For you? So I just
Speaker 1: want to end on this and I would love to
Speaker 1: have anybody tweet these in Christmas, Thanksgiving, Halloween? Where did
Speaker 1: they rank for you? This is easy for me, It's easy.
Speaker 1: It's easy for Darren's. Darren's taking a stretch taking his
Speaker 1: glasses off. So August, if it's easy for you, where
Speaker 1: are you going? I like Thanksgiving the most, less pressure,
Speaker 1: love the food. Halloween's fun and que I've never been
Speaker 1: a Christmas s gal controversially, but that was easy. Yeah, Chris,
Speaker 1: Christmas is I hate you hate to say the birth
Speaker 1: of Jesus Christ is second to anything, but um, but
Speaker 1: here we are. I have always and I think it's
Speaker 1: partially because of the job I'm in, and and Christmas
Speaker 1: always falls it just endo football season, and it it
Speaker 1: always feels like you don't get to spend as much
Speaker 1: time doing the stuff you really want to do, because
Speaker 1: you spend all the time doing the stuff that you
Speaker 1: got to do, and it's so Christmas always been kind
Speaker 1: of tough. From that same point, I love Thanksgiving. I'm
Speaker 1: a sucker for it. I am not into Halloween at all.
Speaker 1: Halloween can just kind of I think once you're once
Speaker 1: you're past the age of like six or seven, you know,
Speaker 1: small children, I'll give you eight, nine, ten, maybe whatever,
Speaker 1: But until you know, once you're past the small child
Speaker 1: trick or treating phase, I think Halloween can just go away. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not into the whole inflatable yard decoration. So did you?
Speaker 1: So did you? But where did you go thank Christmas
Speaker 1: and Thanksgiving? What did the ultimate I think I'm going
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving one. I think I'm going thanks Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving has
Speaker 1: been a riser for me. I'm still gonna go Christmas first.
Speaker 1: But I think also because working in this job, you know,
Speaker 1: typically you have to choose, at least working for a network.
Speaker 1: Now football schedule is different, but working for networks in
Speaker 1: my in my past life, you have to choose one
Speaker 1: or the other right Thanksgiving or Christmas. I would usually
Speaker 1: choose ChRI sans to fly across the country and see
Speaker 1: my family. So a lot of Thanksgivings I didn't just
Speaker 1: not participating in. Right, this year, I got to go
Speaker 1: to the family Thanksgiving, and it does feel like it
Speaker 1: really sets the mood for the holiday season. It's kind
Speaker 1: of more Christmas Eve than Christmas right, because it's like
Speaker 1: the start of like you could, you could turn on
Speaker 1: the Christmas music at a certain point. I feel like
Speaker 1: Darren's gonna judge me for that one, but you could.
Speaker 1: So I think I'm still gonna go Christmas one. I'll
Speaker 1: go Thanksgiving to but you know, check with me next year.
Speaker 1: We'll see if that rises to the top. And then
Speaker 1: I'm Halloween, Matt, what's your list? Probably exactly what Darren said,
Speaker 1: and for the same reasons. Wow Hall for me, But
Speaker 1: like thanks I didn't know that there would be such
Speaker 1: a three out of four potentially Thanksgiving number one. See,
Speaker 1: I think part of the reason usually gets bumped to
Speaker 1: the underrated. With Thanksgiving. You get the gratitude without the
Speaker 1: pressure of all the stuff that's got to come with it,
Speaker 1: you know. And and again, there's nothing I enjoy better
Speaker 1: than going or thinking about what the perfect gift for
Speaker 1: so and so is going to be or that kind
Speaker 1: of thing. But but then the going and doing it
Speaker 1: it comes complex. I always think I'm gonna I'm like,
Speaker 1: this is the year that I'm going to get on
Speaker 1: top of everything early. And I'll tell you what I
Speaker 1: was doing last night on December twenty is my husband.
Speaker 1: I were frantically ordering stuff off Amazon. So you know
Speaker 1: I'm with you on that one. Well, everyone, let us
Speaker 1: know your list. So I think we've got some pretty
Speaker 1: good lists here, but i'd be interested if you got
Speaker 1: any like Halloween number one. Folks. I know a few
Speaker 1: of them. My best friend from high school is a
Speaker 1: Halloween all year round kind of yeah. She says it
Speaker 1: all the time. Keeps like pumpkins out, loves a spooky
Speaker 1: decker like in July. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, Like right now,
Speaker 1: I need to know more about that. We'll ask him
Speaker 1: about that next week. Thanks for listening, everyone, We'll see
Speaker 1: you next week on The Happy Half Hour Podcast
