<v Speaker 2>In addition to you wanting Diana, we.

0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:39.319
<v Speaker 3>Know, we know, we've heard you, Kevin. Yes, are you

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:42.520
<v Speaker 3>excited for twenty twenty four? How do you feel about

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 3>leaving twenty twenty three?

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:47.640
<v Speaker 2>I feel great about leaving. Twenty twenty three was not

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:48.400
<v Speaker 2>my favorite.

0:01:49.000 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 2>I was sick a lot. If you follow me on

0:01:53.440 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 2>like Twitter or anything, you know, I'm always complaining about

0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:59.640
<v Speaker 2>being sick. I think at twenty twenty four I will

0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:04.640
<v Speaker 2>have to have a couple procedures to hopefully prevent me

0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 2>from getting so sick this much. It was just really

0:02:08.320 --> 0:02:11.000
<v Speaker 2>like debilitating, and I felt defeated for a lot of

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 2>the year because you're like, I can't function because either

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.680
<v Speaker 2>have a science infection or strip throat.

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Feel like guess who has strip? Are Youah?

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.359
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? And when you have things with your sinuss, it

0:02:21.400 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 2>messes with your concentration and with your head and everything

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 2>is just you feel like your head's going to burst.

0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 2>So it's hard to be motivated and do a lot

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:29.520
<v Speaker 2>when you're that sick.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>You know, I can't even imagine. I deep empathy for you.

0:02:33.360 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm over it. Yeah, So here's twenty twenty four. Are

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>you excited for twenty twenty four?

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to get the hell out of twenty

0:02:40.800 --> 0:02:43.240
<v Speaker 3>twenty three. It was a really hard year. It was

0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 3>a really hardier like the universe was testing me this

0:02:47.800 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>year testing. We had really great times obviously, Like Emma's here,

0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 3>so everything is.

0:02:53.760 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>She's happy, she's healthy. We're happy, we're healthy. But David

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>and knee surgery at the.

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 3>Beginning of twenty twenty three, like January fourth, his knee

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 3>went down and we were out for he was out

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:06.400
<v Speaker 3>of commission for months. And then my family had some

0:03:06.440 --> 0:03:09.880
<v Speaker 3>health issues and things like that that are hopefully clear

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.520
<v Speaker 3>up in twenty twenty four, and then we lost.

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Bear this year. It's just been a really weird year

0:03:16.800 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>for us.

0:03:17.440 --> 0:03:22.200
<v Speaker 3>So I'm just hoping that twenty twenty four is a

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:23.040
<v Speaker 3>little bit better.

0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:26.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. I don't have high expectations. I'm just like, okay,

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 2>enough of that. Let's just I don't know, get through it,

0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 2>don't I don't want to be disappointed or I think

0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 2>maybe I'm just expecting it to be a little rougher.

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 2>So maybe my expectations, you know will not be I

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 2>will be let down this time. Yeah, no, because I

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 2>was very excited for twenty twenty three. I felt the

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 2>same way exactly.

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel the same I.

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 2>Felt naive, bamboozled.

0:03:50.000 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Did you have any well, I know you read a

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of books. How many books did you read in

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:55.280
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three?

0:03:55.520 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 2>Thirty? Kevin? Yeah, what, well, I don't have a child,

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:03.920
<v Speaker 2>book I have? You know, I was sick a lot

0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:04.440
<v Speaker 2>and what else?

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Even if I didn't have a kid, I wouldn't read

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.960
<v Speaker 1>thirty books. So it was an accomplishment.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of great like book influencers. I followed

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 2>that read over a hundred.

0:04:13.440 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 1>I will say I got back into reading in the

0:04:15.120 --> 0:04:17.000
<v Speaker 1>second half of the year. I still didn't read.

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:22.560
<v Speaker 3>I think maybe I read three books, but.

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 4>I really like I really like why a thrillers or thrillers,

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.960
<v Speaker 4>and like I found a couple of really read books

0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:30.919
<v Speaker 4>and I'm still and now I feel like I'm finding

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 4>a lot and like Reese's Book Club.

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:36.559
<v Speaker 3>Also, it is really great about categorizing different books, and

0:04:36.640 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 3>so I have this little list in my Amazon car

0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 3>right now.

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>So I'm excited to get back to reading as well,

0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.039
<v Speaker 1>but that's amazing.

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.359
<v Speaker 2>You need to read tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow. That

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:51.200
<v Speaker 2>sounds great. It's you got it, I have it. I

0:04:51.240 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 2>still got to give it back to you.

0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 3>Well you did give it back to me and then

0:04:54.920 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 3>I forgot it, and so you got to give it

0:04:56.960 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 3>back to me again.

0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>Yes, I'm excited for it though.

0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.000
<v Speaker 2>Demon Copperhead was a great book. Crying in h Mart

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.200
<v Speaker 2>was incredible. Oh yeah, have you read it.

0:05:06.240 --> 0:05:07.800
<v Speaker 1>Jenna, No, not yet.

0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:10.360
<v Speaker 2>It's just going to make you want to eat and cry.

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>My two favorite things.

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Oh the way she talks about food. Yes, I know. Oh.

0:05:14.880 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 2>So I started listening to audiobooks this year for the

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:20.960
<v Speaker 2>first time, and so a handful of these are audiobooks,

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>and I realized the thing that makes me most motivated

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.520
<v Speaker 2>to go to the gym is an audiobook. I'm sure

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.120
<v Speaker 2>some people are listening to all this music that gets

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 2>them like super hyped up, but an audiobook gets me going.

0:05:33.080 --> 0:05:35.839
<v Speaker 2>And so there I was so interesting, not crying in

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 2>h Smart, crying in the gym, listening to Crying and Hmart.

0:05:40.800 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>I did the same thing with Following Our Stars back

0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:45.600
<v Speaker 1>in the day. I read on and finished the book

0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>on No had to stop.

0:05:47.800 --> 0:05:49.520
<v Speaker 2>No, Jenna had to stop.

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:50.359
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

0:05:50.360 --> 0:05:52.880
<v Speaker 3>Though. I'm a podcast listener. I'm a big podcast listener.

0:05:53.000 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 3>Anywhere I go in the car, I'm not listening to music, I'm.

0:05:55.480 --> 0:05:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Listening to podcasts.

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:58.160
<v Speaker 2>So fair, I get it.

0:05:58.240 --> 0:05:58.599
<v Speaker 1>I get it.

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>If you need book wrecks, I'm always here. I can

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:03.479
<v Speaker 2>I read them, so you don't have to. Because there

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:06.280
<v Speaker 2>was a couple that I read was like nope, will

0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 2>you stop?

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>Will you finish it? Or will you stop?

0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Oh? I used to finish it?

0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Wow.

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Like for example, there was one I read this year

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:17.080
<v Speaker 2>that won the Pulitzer a couple of years ago, and

0:06:17.120 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 2>so I was like, okay, and I it was not good.

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:26.080
<v Speaker 2>I'm very confused, but I also do I tried to

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 2>read some classics this year because I'm really.

0:06:28.000 --> 0:06:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Bad at it and I couldn't tell you.

0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 2>And like things that won like awards, I try to

0:06:34.320 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 2>read as well to see if you know, trust was

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 2>very good. That one this year in Memoriam was very good.

0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Well, this turned into the New Year's Book podcast.

0:06:42.240 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 2>That's all I want. I can talk about books for hours. Literally,

0:06:44.440 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 2>I've gotten so many trips and made friends talking about books.

0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 2>So ah, I love it.

0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.520
<v Speaker 1>I hate this question. Do you have resolutions?

0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't ever, but you know what I might this year?

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 2>What in terms of necessarily a resolution? But maybe my

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:04.600
<v Speaker 2>resolution is to set goals for myself. Oh that's good

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:08.599
<v Speaker 2>or like timeliness. I don't really do that and like

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm just we're creative and we just let things flow.

0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:12.320
<v Speaker 2>I think I need a little structure.

0:07:13.040 --> 0:07:15.840
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of artists do, I get it.

0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:19.440
<v Speaker 2>And so I think maybe for me, I will try

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.840
<v Speaker 2>to set some goals this year.

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>Huh.

0:07:23.480 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't know for resolution is the right word, but.

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.200
<v Speaker 3>I know I don't like that it's a goal, right,

0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 3>we're setting goals for our year or a vision board.

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.680
<v Speaker 1>Do you have like a theme for your year?

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Give me an example?

0:07:42.960 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, so like like last year it was like for

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 3>me it was a consistency.

0:07:48.440 --> 0:07:50.240
<v Speaker 2>M I think my theme for.

0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.320
<v Speaker 1>This year it could be structure, right.

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 2>I think it is structure. I think the other thing

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:57.720
<v Speaker 2>is that I've learned this year. Maybe we can talk

0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 2>about lessons we've learned this year. This past year, I

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 2>traveled a lot, and I think because there was a strike,

0:08:06.480 --> 0:08:08.440
<v Speaker 2>so I was, you know, taking it as a reason

0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:14.320
<v Speaker 2>to travel a bunch. But whenever I do that. So

0:08:14.360 --> 0:08:17.160
<v Speaker 2>there's this famous DJ who lives on my street, and

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:18.800
<v Speaker 2>we ran it to each other on the street and

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:22.680
<v Speaker 2>had this whole conversation randomly about when you want to

0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 2>especially I think if you're a creative person and like

0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 2>buckle down and like get whatever's in your head out

0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.000
<v Speaker 2>and make it happen, you sometimes you got to commit

0:08:32.040 --> 0:08:35.800
<v Speaker 2>to like staying home and just doing it for some type.

0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:37.839
<v Speaker 2>Some people don't need that. And every time I go

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.920
<v Speaker 2>travel somewhere and then come back, it's like I have

0:08:42.000 --> 0:08:44.400
<v Speaker 2>to take another couple of days to reset and then

0:08:44.440 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 2>get in that and then you're home for three days

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.640
<v Speaker 2>and then leave again. So you're never going to travel them.

0:08:48.720 --> 0:08:50.280
<v Speaker 2>So I think I'm going to try to stay put

0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 2>a lot more this year and like focus on the

0:08:55.200 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 2>things I want to make happen as opposed to the

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 2>experiences that I wanted to make happen.

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.240
<v Speaker 1>It's good you did it in twenty twenty three.

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:05.440
<v Speaker 2>I've traveled a lot, so it's okay.

0:09:06.720 --> 0:09:09.080
<v Speaker 3>Last year was like a lot of no, like saying

0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:13.240
<v Speaker 3>no more. I'm being really mindful of like saying yes

0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.959
<v Speaker 3>to events and things to go to, and because I

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 3>think in twenty twenty two It's like I wanted to

0:09:19.000 --> 0:09:21.600
<v Speaker 3>do a lot before the baby came, and then like

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 3>I said yes to a lot, and like we were

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:25.720
<v Speaker 3>renovating the house, and like things just got to be

0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:29.880
<v Speaker 3>too much, and then last year was like saying no

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.800
<v Speaker 3>more and I said allah no, and then like I'm

0:09:32.840 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 3>just trying to now find a balance.

0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>Maybe it's balance.

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't know.

0:09:36.480 --> 0:09:36.840
<v Speaker 3>I don't know.

0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>That doesn't quite feel right either, but I'll figure it out.

0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:41.600
<v Speaker 2>It's all right. It doesn't have to be tonight, you know,

0:09:41.840 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 2>you can or it can start at any point during

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 2>the year.

0:09:45.160 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll get it. Are you ever home

0:09:47.960 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>for New Years?

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 2>I try not to be. I think America has. I

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.959
<v Speaker 2>think we go really gung ho for Christmas, and then

0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't think we really have a New Year's tradition,

0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Like New York has a New Year's tradition, right, but

0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I don't think the rest of the US does. Where

0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:13.800
<v Speaker 2>and I've talked about this before, where like the one

0:10:13.840 --> 0:10:16.240
<v Speaker 2>holiday tradition I've formed as an adult was going to

0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 2>Brazil every year and it hasn't happened in a while,

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:24.280
<v Speaker 2>and this year it's happening. Yeah, And so I like

0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.560
<v Speaker 2>that they have their traditions and I get to participate

0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:31.680
<v Speaker 2>someone who's not from there, but in somebody else's tradition.

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:34.599
<v Speaker 2>And I've met the nicest people ever in Brazil and

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:38.720
<v Speaker 2>they're so welcoming and it feels nice to see how

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:43.079
<v Speaker 2>another country does that. And they do Christmas differently than

0:10:43.080 --> 0:10:44.560
<v Speaker 2>we do too, where I think it's a much bigger,

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:48.400
<v Speaker 2>more commercial thing here. But I also know a lot

0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.160
<v Speaker 2>of friends who go to other places in the world

0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:53.240
<v Speaker 2>and they also have really specific and interesting traditions for

0:10:53.280 --> 0:10:55.560
<v Speaker 2>New Year's. So I think it's just a thing that

0:10:56.679 --> 0:10:58.520
<v Speaker 2>the US doesn't really do, and it seems like a

0:10:58.520 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 2>good opportunity to go somewhere else.

0:11:00.840 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm all about. Okay, I've never been about traditions. It's

0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:04.400
<v Speaker 1>never been very traditional.

0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.400
<v Speaker 3>But this year, obviously, with like Christmas and Hanakah and

0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.920
<v Speaker 3>all of these things for them, I've started to create

0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 3>new traditions. Right, So, the one US tradition that I

0:11:14.400 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 3>find interesting because the rest are just crap to me.

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:21.880
<v Speaker 3>We're more important in your twenties. You're getting your kiss,

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.079
<v Speaker 3>you're doing a champagne toast, you're you know.

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Watching the ball drop. The twelve Grapes is a tradition

0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:32.320
<v Speaker 1>that I found that actually like transcends multiple cultures, right,

0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.880
<v Speaker 1>And in the US you do twelve grapes for.

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 3>Signifying one grape for each month of the year, as

0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 3>like a cocktail or New Year's Eve, like garnish or something.

0:11:46.520 --> 0:11:51.480
<v Speaker 3>And I don't even know actually where that came from,

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.199
<v Speaker 3>but I like, just like the idea of doing something fun.

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:57.120
<v Speaker 3>So I think I'll do the grape tradition this year

0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:58.040
<v Speaker 3>and neat twelve grapes.

0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah you should. I think like in Brazil, we jump

0:12:01.559 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 2>over every year seven waves and like shout out like

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 2>a word that you want to like health, wealth, happiness, love,

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 2>whatever you want it to be, or like an attention

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.080
<v Speaker 2>or something. As you like jump over each wave as

0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.280
<v Speaker 2>you're all in like white clothing, we all hold each

0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:21.440
<v Speaker 2>other's hands and do it.

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:22.280
<v Speaker 1>I love that.

0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I love that.

0:12:24.520 --> 0:12:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Okay, so I looked it up. It's to ensure good luck.

0:12:27.000 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know that there's more to it than that,

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>but I.

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:31.160
<v Speaker 2>Also think that's what it's. Whatever you put behind it,

0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:32.439
<v Speaker 2>isn't it like it's I.

0:12:32.400 --> 0:12:36.280
<v Speaker 3>Did a really fun tradition on Thanksgiving. It's like flying

0:12:36.320 --> 0:12:43.719
<v Speaker 3>wish paper. So it's an ancient Chinese tradition and basically

0:12:44.240 --> 0:12:45.400
<v Speaker 3>it's these wish papers.

0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:46.080
<v Speaker 1>They're really thin.

0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.920
<v Speaker 3>It's like a really thin piece of paper and you

0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:52.319
<v Speaker 3>write three things you wish for on them, and then

0:12:52.400 --> 0:12:54.880
<v Speaker 3>you roll it up into like a little like well

0:12:55.080 --> 0:12:58.200
<v Speaker 3>like kind of tube and you set it down and

0:12:58.240 --> 0:13:02.360
<v Speaker 3>then you light it on fire and then at like

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:03.559
<v Speaker 3>halfway down at burns.

0:13:04.160 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>It flies into.

0:13:05.800 --> 0:13:07.800
<v Speaker 3>The air, shoots into the air, and then it floats

0:13:07.840 --> 0:13:11.680
<v Speaker 3>down and burns. And we did it this year, and

0:13:11.679 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 3>we did Emmon did one, and we each did one,

0:13:13.920 --> 0:13:16.000
<v Speaker 3>and we wrent around the table and wrote down our

0:13:16.000 --> 0:13:19.880
<v Speaker 3>little wishes. And I thought that was really fun. So

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.880
<v Speaker 3>if you guys are looking for some new traditions for

0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:24.640
<v Speaker 3>New Year's or for whenever, you can do this around

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:26.080
<v Speaker 3>a great dinner table.

0:13:26.200 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 2>It's really fun to do and be safe with fire.

0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:31.760
<v Speaker 3>But Emma kept seeing it, and she doesn't have a

0:13:31.800 --> 0:13:34.080
<v Speaker 3>lot of words yet, but she would say, wow, every

0:13:34.120 --> 0:13:35.880
<v Speaker 3>time I went up in the air, it was just

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:36.439
<v Speaker 3>so great.

0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:37.680
<v Speaker 1>It was really really great.

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:45.240
<v Speaker 2>That's so yeah. My contribution, like yours is that's my

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 2>contribution to I don't know why I still get invited

0:13:49.600 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 2>back to this house for New Years. It was after midnight.

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:57.640
<v Speaker 2>We were on like the beach looking at the fireworks

0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:04.040
<v Speaker 2>go off. We when people have had a little bit

0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:08.120
<v Speaker 2>to drink. This was like years ago, a decade ago,

0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:12.080
<v Speaker 2>where I used to then round the younger people, like

0:14:12.240 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 2>let's go skinny dipping in the ocean, and so that's

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 2>now part of the tradition. We're like every year. At

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:23.640
<v Speaker 2>some point later on in the midnight, people like you're

0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 2>not going deep, you're going very shallow in the water,

0:14:26.120 --> 0:14:29.800
<v Speaker 2>and you're with a bunch of people and it's very dark,

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 2>and like parents started joining, which is hilarious.

0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:33.640
<v Speaker 1>That's so funny.

0:14:33.920 --> 0:14:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Wow, Yeah, it was great. But obviously that's my contribution

0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 2>to the well. I guess the US does fireworks everywhere

0:14:45.120 --> 0:14:46.840
<v Speaker 2>it is fireworks.

0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>And there's like a countdown or it's like we did.

0:14:49.520 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>We were in Portugal.

0:14:50.760 --> 0:14:54.720
<v Speaker 3>We were in Porto for New Year's a couple of

0:14:54.800 --> 0:14:58.160
<v Speaker 3>years ago for a pre pandemic, and there's like a

0:14:58.200 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 3>square in Porto and like hundreds of people come and

0:15:01.840 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 3>gather kind of like a timesquere.

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:06.200
<v Speaker 1>Vibe.

0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.360
<v Speaker 3>But it was really cool to see like a wholy

0:15:08.560 --> 0:15:11.920
<v Speaker 3>totally different culture and country to be doing like doing

0:15:11.960 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 3>something similar that felt like communal and we like because

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:16.640
<v Speaker 3>we really didn't have a lot of New Year's plans.

0:15:16.680 --> 0:15:19.400
<v Speaker 3>We knew that they celebrate that, you know, everybody celebrates it, but.

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:20.160
<v Speaker 1>Like, you know.

0:15:21.600 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 3>What, we were going to do so much, a really

0:15:22.840 --> 0:15:24.320
<v Speaker 3>nice dinner, and then we're like, we could just walk

0:15:24.360 --> 0:15:26.720
<v Speaker 3>around and find a bar or something.

0:15:26.840 --> 0:15:29.240
<v Speaker 1>And no, it was crazy that.

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:32.360
<v Speaker 3>The hotel was like, you want to book something because

0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.000
<v Speaker 3>it's really wild. It's like going to New York City

0:15:35.000 --> 0:15:37.120
<v Speaker 3>being like, I don't know, we'll find something, you know,

0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 3>But it was really really cool to see and to witness.

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:43.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I think it's really special to be able to

0:15:43.160 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>participate in the other people's yeah, celebrations like that. Why

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:48.880
<v Speaker 2>don't I keep calling you Thanksgiving?

0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I really have no brain left, you know, the holidays

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:53.880
<v Speaker 1>really to get out of this year. I did everything.

0:15:54.200 --> 0:15:57.320
<v Speaker 1>I did it all. You really did We did it all.

0:15:57.560 --> 0:16:02.760
<v Speaker 2>I also think there's some sort of similarity between like

0:16:02.800 --> 0:16:04.680
<v Speaker 2>when you're going into I think it's what the whole

0:16:04.720 --> 0:16:07.560
<v Speaker 2>resolution thing, like when you reflect on the year, you're

0:16:07.640 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 2>thankful for, you know, the things that have X, Y

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:14.640
<v Speaker 2>and Z for your year and looking forward to what's coming.

0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:17.880
<v Speaker 2>And so I feel like while you're making resolutions is

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 2>also a good time of thanks, which I think is

0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 2>similar to thanksgiving.

0:16:21.880 --> 0:16:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Part of I think, Yeah.

0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:24.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm thankful for you, Jenna.

0:16:25.160 --> 0:16:27.280
<v Speaker 3>Oh, I'm thankful for you, Kevin. We're thankful for all

0:16:27.320 --> 0:16:30.960
<v Speaker 3>of you guys. Thank you for joining us, and happy

0:16:31.000 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 3>happy New Year. Have a safe and healthy new Year,

0:16:33.960 --> 0:16:36.240
<v Speaker 3>and we will see you in twenty twenty four.

0:16:37.200 --> 0:16:41.440
<v Speaker 2>Can you believe it, Jenna? Before do you remember I
