34
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 3: excited for twenty twenty four? How do you feel about

35
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 3: leaving twenty twenty three?

36
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 2: I feel great about leaving. Twenty twenty three was not

37
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 2: my favorite.

38
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: No.

39
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:53,400
Speaker 2: I was sick a lot. If you follow me on

40
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 2: like Twitter or anything, you know, I'm always complaining about

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 2: being sick. I think at twenty twenty four I will

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: have to have a couple procedures to hopefully prevent me

43
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: from getting so sick this much. It was just really

44
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 2: like debilitating, and I felt defeated for a lot of

45
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: the year because you're like, I can't function because either

46
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: have a science infection or strip throat.

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: Feel like guess who has strip? Are Youah?

48
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:21,359
Speaker 2: Yeah? And when you have things with your sinuss, it

49
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: messes with your concentration and with your head and everything

50
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 2: is just you feel like your head's going to burst.

51
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: So it's hard to be motivated and do a lot

52
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:29,520
Speaker 2: when you're that sick.

53
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 1: You know, I can't even imagine. I deep empathy for you.

54
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: I'm over it. Yeah, So here's twenty twenty four. Are

55
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: you excited for twenty twenty four?

56
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 3: I can't wait to get the hell out of twenty

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 3: twenty three. It was a really hard year. It was

58
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: a really hardier like the universe was testing me this

59
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 3: year testing. We had really great times obviously, Like Emma's here,

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 3: so everything is.

61
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 1: She's happy, she's healthy. We're happy, we're healthy. But David

62
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,240
Speaker 1: and knee surgery at the.

63
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 3: Beginning of twenty twenty three, like January fourth, his knee

64
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: went down and we were out for he was out

65
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 3: of commission for months. And then my family had some

66
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: health issues and things like that that are hopefully clear

67
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: up in twenty twenty four, and then we lost.

68
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: Bear this year. It's just been a really weird year

69
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: for us.

70
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 3: So I'm just hoping that twenty twenty four is a

71
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 3: little bit better.

72
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,960
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't have high expectations. I'm just like, okay,

73
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,799
Speaker 2: enough of that. Let's just I don't know, get through it,

74
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: don't I don't want to be disappointed or I think

75
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 2: maybe I'm just expecting it to be a little rougher.

76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 2: So maybe my expectations, you know will not be I

77
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: will be let down this time. Yeah, no, because I

78
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: was very excited for twenty twenty three. I felt the

79
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 2: same way exactly.

80
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: I feel the same I.

81
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 2: Felt naive, bamboozled.

82
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: Did you have any well, I know you read a

83
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 1: lot of books. How many books did you read in

84
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty three?

85
00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:01,680
Speaker 2: Thirty? Kevin? Yeah, what, well, I don't have a child,

86
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: book I have? You know, I was sick a lot

87
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 2: and what else?

88
00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: Even if I didn't have a kid, I wouldn't read

89
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: thirty books. So it was an accomplishment.

90
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 2: There's a lot of great like book influencers. I followed

91
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 2: that read over a hundred.

92
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: I will say I got back into reading in the

93
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: second half of the year. I still didn't read.

94
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: I think maybe I read three books, but.

95
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:26,720
Speaker 4: I really like I really like why a thrillers or thrillers,

96
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 4: and like I found a couple of really read books

97
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:30,919
Speaker 4: and I'm still and now I feel like I'm finding

98
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:32,279
Speaker 4: a lot and like Reese's Book Club.

99
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:36,559
Speaker 3: Also, it is really great about categorizing different books, and

100
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 3: so I have this little list in my Amazon car

101
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 3: right now.

102
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: So I'm excited to get back to reading as well,

103
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 1: but that's amazing.

104
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: You need to read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. That

105
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: sounds great. It's you got it, I have it. I

106
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: still got to give it back to you.

107
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: I know.

108
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: Well you did give it back to me and then

109
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: I forgot it, and so you got to give it

110
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: back to me again.

111
00:04:57,720 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm excited for it though.

112
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 2: Demon Copperhead was a great book. Crying in h Mart

113
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 2: was incredible. Oh yeah, have you read it.

114
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: Jenna, No, not yet.

115
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 2: It's just going to make you want to eat and cry.

116
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: My two favorite things.

117
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 2: Oh the way she talks about food. Yes, I know. Oh.

118
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 2: So I started listening to audiobooks this year for the

119
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 2: first time, and so a handful of these are audiobooks,

120
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,920
Speaker 2: and I realized the thing that makes me most motivated

121
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 2: to go to the gym is an audiobook. I'm sure

122
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: some people are listening to all this music that gets

123
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: them like super hyped up, but an audiobook gets me going.

124
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: And so there I was so interesting, not crying in

125
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: h Smart, crying in the gym, listening to Crying and Hmart.

126
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: I did the same thing with Following Our Stars back

127
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,600
Speaker 1: in the day. I read on and finished the book

128
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,599
Speaker 1: on No had to stop.

129
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 2: No, Jenna had to stop.

130
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: I get it.

131
00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: Though. I'm a podcast listener. I'm a big podcast listener.

132
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 3: Anywhere I go in the car, I'm not listening to music, I'm.

133
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:56,480
Speaker 1: Listening to podcasts.

134
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 2: So fair, I get it.

135
00:05:58,240 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: I get it.

136
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 2: If you need book wrecks, I'm always here. I can

137
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 2: I read them, so you don't have to. Because there

138
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:06,280
Speaker 2: was a couple that I read was like nope, will

139
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 2: you stop?

140
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: Will you finish it? Or will you stop?

141
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:10,600
Speaker 2: Oh? I used to finish it?

142
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: Wow.

143
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,400
Speaker 2: Like for example, there was one I read this year

144
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: that won the Pulitzer a couple of years ago, and

145
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 2: so I was like, okay, and I it was not good.

146
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 2: I'm very confused, but I also do I tried to

147
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 2: read some classics this year because I'm really.

148
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: Bad at it and I couldn't tell you.

149
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 2: And like things that won like awards, I try to

150
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 2: read as well to see if you know, trust was

151
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 2: very good. That one this year in Memoriam was very good.

152
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: Well, this turned into the New Year's Book podcast.

153
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 2: That's all I want. I can talk about books for hours. Literally,

154
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 2: I've gotten so many trips and made friends talking about books.

155
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: So ah, I love it.

156
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: I hate this question. Do you have resolutions?

157
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 2: I don't ever, but you know what I might this year?

158
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 2: What in terms of necessarily a resolution? But maybe my

159
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 2: resolution is to set goals for myself. Oh that's good

160
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,599
Speaker 2: or like timeliness. I don't really do that and like

161
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 2: I'm just we're creative and we just let things flow.

162
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 2: I think I need a little structure.

163
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: So a lot of artists do, I get it.

164
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 2: And so I think maybe for me, I will try

165
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 2: to set some goals this year.

166
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: Huh.

167
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: I don't know for resolution is the right word, but.

168
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,200
Speaker 3: I know I don't like that it's a goal, right,

169
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 3: we're setting goals for our year or a vision board.

170
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 1: Do you have like a theme for your year?

171
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:42,800
Speaker 2: Give me an example?

172
00:07:42,960 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 3: Okay, so like like last year it was like for

173
00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 3: me it was a consistency.

174
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 2: M I think my theme for.

175
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,320
Speaker 1: This year it could be structure, right.

176
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 2: I think it is structure. I think the other thing

177
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 2: is that I've learned this year. Maybe we can talk

178
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 2: about lessons we've learned this year. This past year, I

179
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: traveled a lot, and I think because there was a strike,

180
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 2: so I was, you know, taking it as a reason

181
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 2: to travel a bunch. But whenever I do that. So

182
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 2: there's this famous DJ who lives on my street, and

183
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 2: we ran it to each other on the street and

184
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 2: had this whole conversation randomly about when you want to

185
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 2: especially I think if you're a creative person and like

186
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 2: buckle down and like get whatever's in your head out

187
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: and make it happen, you sometimes you got to commit

188
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,800
Speaker 2: to like staying home and just doing it for some type.

189
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:37,839
Speaker 2: Some people don't need that. And every time I go

190
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 2: travel somewhere and then come back, it's like I have

191
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 2: to take another couple of days to reset and then

192
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 2: get in that and then you're home for three days

193
00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: and then leave again. So you're never going to travel them.

194
00:08:48,720 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: So I think I'm going to try to stay put

195
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 2: a lot more this year and like focus on the

196
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 2: things I want to make happen as opposed to the

197
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,880
Speaker 2: experiences that I wanted to make happen.

198
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,240
Speaker 1: It's good you did it in twenty twenty three.

199
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:05,440
Speaker 2: I've traveled a lot, so it's okay.

200
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 3: Last year was like a lot of no, like saying

201
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 3: no more. I'm being really mindful of like saying yes

202
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 3: to events and things to go to, and because I

203
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 3: think in twenty twenty two It's like I wanted to

204
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 3: do a lot before the baby came, and then like

205
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 3: I said yes to a lot, and like we were

206
00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 3: renovating the house, and like things just got to be

207
00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,880
Speaker 3: too much, and then last year was like saying no

208
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 3: more and I said allah no, and then like I'm

209
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: just trying to now find a balance.

210
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Maybe it's balance.

211
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:36,200
Speaker 4: I don't know.

212
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

213
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 1: That doesn't quite feel right either, but I'll figure it out.

214
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 2: It's all right. It doesn't have to be tonight, you know,

215
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 2: you can or it can start at any point during

216
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 2: the year.

217
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll get it. Are you ever home

218
00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: for New Years?

219
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 2: I try not to be. I think America has. I

220
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 2: think we go really gung ho for Christmas, and then

221
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 2: I don't think we really have a New Year's tradition,

222
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: Like New York has a New Year's tradition, right, but

223
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: I don't think the rest of the US does. Where

224
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 2: and I've talked about this before, where like the one

225
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 2: holiday tradition I've formed as an adult was going to

226
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: Brazil every year and it hasn't happened in a while,

227
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:24,280
Speaker 2: and this year it's happening. Yeah, And so I like

228
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: that they have their traditions and I get to participate

229
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,680
Speaker 2: someone who's not from there, but in somebody else's tradition.

230
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:34,599
Speaker 2: And I've met the nicest people ever in Brazil and

231
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: they're so welcoming and it feels nice to see how

232
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,079
Speaker 2: another country does that. And they do Christmas differently than

233
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 2: we do too, where I think it's a much bigger,

234
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 2: more commercial thing here. But I also know a lot

235
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: of friends who go to other places in the world

236
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 2: and they also have really specific and interesting traditions for

237
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:55,560
Speaker 2: New Year's. So I think it's just a thing that

238
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 2: the US doesn't really do, and it seems like a

239
00:10:58,520 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 2: good opportunity to go somewhere else.

240
00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: I'm all about. Okay, I've never been about traditions. It's

241
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: never been very traditional.

242
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 3: But this year, obviously, with like Christmas and Hanakah and

243
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: all of these things for them, I've started to create

244
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 3: new traditions. Right, So, the one US tradition that I

245
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 3: find interesting because the rest are just crap to me.

246
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 3: We're more important in your twenties. You're getting your kiss,

247
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 3: you're doing a champagne toast, you're you know.

248
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:28,120
Speaker 1: Watching the ball drop. The twelve Grapes is a tradition

249
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: that I found that actually like transcends multiple cultures, right,

250
00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 1: And in the US you do twelve grapes for.

251
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 3: Signifying one grape for each month of the year, as

252
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 3: like a cocktail or New Year's Eve, like garnish or something.

253
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: And I don't even know actually where that came from,

254
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:55,199
Speaker 3: but I like, just like the idea of doing something fun.

255
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 3: So I think I'll do the grape tradition this year

256
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 3: and neat twelve grapes.

257
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: Yeah you should. I think like in Brazil, we jump

258
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: over every year seven waves and like shout out like

259
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 2: a word that you want to like health, wealth, happiness, love,

260
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: whatever you want it to be, or like an attention

261
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 2: or something. As you like jump over each wave as

262
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: you're all in like white clothing, we all hold each

263
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 2: other's hands and do it.

264
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: I love that.

265
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:24,199
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that.

266
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,920
Speaker 1: Okay, so I looked it up. It's to ensure good luck.

267
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: I don't know that there's more to it than that,

268
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: but I.

269
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 2: Also think that's what it's. Whatever you put behind it,

270
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:32,439
Speaker 2: isn't it like it's I.

271
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 3: Did a really fun tradition on Thanksgiving. It's like flying

272
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 3: wish paper. So it's an ancient Chinese tradition and basically

273
00:12:44,240 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 3: it's these wish papers.

274
00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:46,080
Speaker 1: They're really thin.

275
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 3: It's like a really thin piece of paper and you

276
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 3: write three things you wish for on them, and then

277
00:12:52,400 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 3: you roll it up into like a little like well

278
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 3: like kind of tube and you set it down and

279
00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:02,360
Speaker 3: then you light it on fire and then at like

280
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,559
Speaker 3: halfway down at burns.

281
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: It flies into.

282
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: The air, shoots into the air, and then it floats

283
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 3: down and burns. And we did it this year, and

284
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: we did Emmon did one, and we each did one,

285
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 3: and we wrent around the table and wrote down our

286
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 3: little wishes. And I thought that was really fun. So

287
00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 3: if you guys are looking for some new traditions for

288
00:13:21,960 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 3: New Year's or for whenever, you can do this around

289
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 3: a great dinner table.

290
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,640
Speaker 2: It's really fun to do and be safe with fire.

291
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: But Emma kept seeing it, and she doesn't have a

292
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 3: lot of words yet, but she would say, wow, every

293
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 3: time I went up in the air, it was just

294
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 3: so great.

295
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 1: It was really really great.

296
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 2: That's so yeah. My contribution, like yours is that's my

297
00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 2: contribution to I don't know why I still get invited

298
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:54,080
Speaker 2: back to this house for New Years. It was after midnight.

299
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,640
Speaker 2: We were on like the beach looking at the fireworks

300
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: go off. We when people have had a little bit

301
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 2: to drink. This was like years ago, a decade ago,

302
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 2: where I used to then round the younger people, like

303
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:16,120
Speaker 2: let's go skinny dipping in the ocean, and so that's

304
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 2: now part of the tradition. We're like every year. At

305
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,640
Speaker 2: some point later on in the midnight, people like you're

306
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 2: not going deep, you're going very shallow in the water,

307
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 2: and you're with a bunch of people and it's very dark,

308
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 2: and like parents started joining, which is hilarious.

309
00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:33,640
Speaker 1: That's so funny.

310
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: Wow, Yeah, it was great. But obviously that's my contribution

311
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 2: to the well. I guess the US does fireworks everywhere

312
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 2: it is fireworks.

313
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: And there's like a countdown or it's like we did.

314
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: We were in Portugal.

315
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: We were in Porto for New Year's a couple of

316
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 3: years ago for a pre pandemic, and there's like a

317
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 3: square in Porto and like hundreds of people come and

318
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,320

322
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: something similar that felt like communal and we like because

323
00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 3: we really didn't have a lot of New Year's plans.

324
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 3: We knew that they celebrate that, you know, everybody celebrates it, but.

328
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 3: around and find a bar or something.

329
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:29,240

00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 3: The hotel was like, you want to book something because

331
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,000

00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,120
Speaker 3: being like, I don't know, we'll find something, you know,
