2025.12.24: Carry On Rug

Speaker 1 Snooping as usual, I see.

Speaker 1 Hey! We're recording the podcast!

Speaker 2 Gut up!

Speaker 1 Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is morning somewhere! For December 24th, 2025, my name is

Speaker 1 Bertie Burst, sitting right over there.

Speaker 2 Did you forget? Ho.

Speaker 1 Ashley Burns, got to have. Calm down, damn.

Speaker 1 The pause was me contemplating that joke. That's what that pause was.

Speaker 1 So I got some reports yesterday that I was hard to hear on our new setup that we've got for our podcast. Maybe you got that correct.
We're testing like a new little setup.

Speaker 1 This is not our normal environment.

Speaker 2 Are you hard to hear or am I just too easy to hear?

Speaker 1 I think people were saying that I was lower in volume than you, which I guess is a huge departure for this podcast.

Speaker 2 It's that's a departure for reality.

Speaker 1 And I just wanted to say to everybody who pointed that out and let me know that I was doing a poor job of mixing the audio, I just wanted to say from the bottom of my heart, How dare you speak to me?

Speaker 1 Keep that fucking criticism to yourself in the future.

Speaker 1 Hopefully, today will be

Speaker 2 out here Christmas week podcasting like jumps.

Speaker 1 I know today will probably be a shorter one. We're just kind of jumping on to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and that kind of thing.

Speaker 1 I'm sure you all have things that you were busy doing.

Speaker 2 Yes, it's that last day, the final day before Christmas, where no one is sane anymore, right? No one is sane and everyone's stomach feels awful.

Speaker 1 God, yeah, it's just so much food. Like, you can't, what is it with food and holidays? I don't think anybody wants to do this anymore, right?

Speaker 2 Right, can we, can we stop? Well, and the thing too is it's very misleading.

Speaker 2 People talk about like how much weight they gain through the holidays, and that's the window from Thanksgiving through Christmas and New Year.

Speaker 2 And then, like, New Year starts, and they're like, New Year, new me. Um, but it's not, it's not that whole window, right? It comes down to a couple specific days.

Speaker 2 There's Thanksgiving, and then there's three days to Christmas, like up through Christmas,

Speaker 2 and then the debauchery of New Year's if you don't have children.

Speaker 1 I would throw in there also, though, the day after Halloween. Like, I don't think that one gets enough credit for just how many empty calories you eat.

Speaker 2 Well, that's how the people with children make up for not debauching on New Year's Eve.

Speaker 1 Well, the kids, even if you have kids, they get

Speaker 1 a bunch of candy that they don't want. And you're like, I can handle this one.
I like this one anyway. I'll eat it.
Like the kids don't like almonds or whatever. You know, the kids are weird.

Speaker 1 They don't like certain stuff.

Speaker 2 Or coconut. I don't know who, who decided to put coconut flakes on sweets? Who decided that that was the cookie? People who like coconut.

Speaker 1 That's all they had, man. I guess so.
That's the only sweet. Do you not like coconut in?

Speaker 2 Never have. It was maybe one of those kids that I had as a kid.

Speaker 2 In the same way that, you know, you get a raisin cookie and you're like, fuck raisins forever.

Speaker 2 I must have had like some sort of sweet that had coconut in it or on it and went, No, you're dead to me.

Speaker 1 It also gets spongy. I feel like everything coconut related is a lot better on paper than it is in practice.
Even the coconut itself.

Speaker 1 It's like, oh my God, you get into this impossible to open thing and you finally get to this pristine white interior meat of this nut and it's going to be incredible. And it's not.

Speaker 1 It's just not, right? Or even like coconut water. You think it's going to be incredible?

Speaker 2 Take it easy now.

Speaker 1 Coconut water is terrible, actually. I actually really like coconut water.
What do you like about it? It's so like.

Speaker 2 The health benefits.

Speaker 1 Okay, but do you like the taste of it?

Speaker 2 Well, let's say that I don't mind the taste of it the way I mind coconut flakes.

Speaker 1 I like coconuts best when you prepare it with pineapple and vodka. Whatever the hell goes in.
A piña colada?

Speaker 1 What's the liquor in a pina colada?

Speaker 2 Um,

Speaker 2 hold on. That's, um, that's Bacardi.
So that's white, uh, white rum. And what else goes in a pina colada?

Speaker 1 It's just pineapple in the colour. It's the pineapple juice.
Coconut milk and then the whatever the liquor is.

Speaker 2 Yeah, that makes sense. But yeah, that's a Bacardi white rum.
So good.

Speaker 1 So good. So good.
It's weird to be thinking about frozen drinks when we're here in the middle of Christmas coming up.

Speaker 2 Well, sometimes, depending on your climate, you may need frozen drinks.

Speaker 2 If you've suffered the effects of climate change and you have no snow, you've got to find frozen things somewhere to celebrate Christmas with. Why not celebrate with a pina colada?

Speaker 1 We tried a thing with Finn too, because in the UK, he can only get black currant juice. And that's like everything that's grape flavored in America is blackcurrant flavored in the UK.

Speaker 1 And it's just not a thing in the UK. Like the purple grape flavor.

Speaker 2 It's not a thing. It does not exist.
It's just not a thing.

Speaker 1 So we thought, okay, we'll get some grape juice for Finn and we'll let him try grape juice because this is classic. What kid doesn't like grape juice? He tried it.
We even looked at it.

Speaker 1 Remember, we poured it and we looked at it. We go, ooh, that's pretty dense.
Let's cut this down a little bit.

Speaker 2 Yeah, because we got really used to squash in the UK, which is like

Speaker 2 super juice. And the expectation is

Speaker 2 you buy the bottle of the juice, the squash, and you're supposed to dilute it like one squash to five water.

Speaker 1 You learn you're supposed to do that by not doing it and going, what is wrong with what I just drank? I just got punched in the face.

Speaker 2 You know, so what we typically do is we pour a glass of water and then go,

Speaker 2 with the juice, with the blackcurrant juice. So it got really accustomed to doing that.

Speaker 2 But Finn was really excited to try grape juice in the US because I looked at it and they're like, the easiest ever Welch's grape juice. Right, like the classic, the standard.

Speaker 2 So we poured him some of that. We did dilute it a little bit because that's how we practice now.
And it was awful. He tried it.
He had one sip and goes,

Speaker 2 and I went, what do you mean, blah?

Speaker 1 I tried it and went, oh, that's not good. Yeah, I tried it too.
And I was like, this is like crappy wine, basically, is what this tastes like. It was really bizarre.

Speaker 2 Like wine that was off.

Speaker 1 But then again, it's like, I want to blame it on our time in the UK. But when was the last time you had grape juice before you moved over to the UK?

Speaker 2 I mean, when I was a kid. Right.
Yeah.

Speaker 2 I can't think of like any cocktails would have had grape juice in. Yeah.

Speaker 1 We used to drink that all the time, but then we couldn't eat almonds and coconuts for whatever reason. But we drank that stuff like it was going to a style.

Speaker 2 We're like, that's the best.

Speaker 1 Do they still make like the classic?

Speaker 1 I think of a very specific label when I was a kid. And I guess maybe it was Minute Made, but it was one of those logos.

Speaker 1 You know, like the old like, really cool WB logo, which is like was in the black oval with the three white lines. You know, the classic setting there was also like the concentrate for orange juice.

Speaker 1 It had that, I want to say, had like a bowl with like three oranges in it, but it was kind of abstract and really cool. I just feel like I haven't seen a tube of orange juice concentrate in decades.

Speaker 2 You know, we should do is we should make a, we should make that a project. We should go to the grocery store and see if we can find the frozen cans of orange juice.
They had everything. In fact,

Speaker 2 when I was growing up, one of my favorite things is you could buy frozen cans of strawberry daiquiri mix.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 2 And you don't have to put the rumen, right? You can just make yourself a virgin strawberry daiquiri. And can I say, they're delicious.

Speaker 1 Okay, here we go. Look at this.
I'm showing you a photo of it. That's just classic minute maker.

Speaker 2 Yeah, but that's minute making.

Speaker 1 That's the modern logo. They also do lemonade, by the way.
That seems like it'd be great for

Speaker 1 making some kind of mixed drink or whatever. Like vodka.
Like a frozen lemonade? Why are we talking about food drinking? That's all we've been doing the last two or three days.

Speaker 1 Here's the one I was talking about.

Speaker 2 My stomach feels awful.

Speaker 1 I don't know when they abandon. Do you recognize that logo in that one? This will be our thumbnail, hopefully, for today.
People are like, why on Christmas Eve do you have an old

Speaker 1 orange juice concentrator?

Speaker 2 I do not recognize that one. No, I recognize the, I guess, new minimade logo.

Speaker 1 It looks like a Duracell battery when I look at it.

Speaker 2 It does, doesn't it?

Speaker 1 Matt, welcome to our audio podcast that we talk about things that we're looking at.

Speaker 2 Enjoy looking at the thumbnail.

Speaker 1 You can't hear me anyway, so it doesn't matter at all.

Speaker 1 But we're going into now Christmas Eve. Any big traditions on Christmas Eve? Mine was always, it's always debatable.
You can open

Speaker 1 one gift on Christmas Eve. And it's after one of the initial, I won't, just in case someone's playing this on the speaker in their kitchen, when the initial tradition of Christmas is surpassed by age.

Speaker 1 Does that make sense?

Speaker 2 It does make sense.

Speaker 1 And then it's like we could open one present on Christmas Eve. And that was just a thing.

Speaker 2 And that's probably how I established this thing where I can't deal with having presents in the house well we have uh one Christmas tradition and I like it which is that the the kids do open one present on Christmas Eve but it's a very specific present it's Christmas pajamas right so they open Christmas pajamas okay when did this start you know you know what is I think it's it started when I had kids and I thought that

Speaker 2 Obviously, they're not going to want to get dressed before they bust into the presents on Christmas morning. And so it makes sense to me to have them in Christmassy pajamas from the get-go.

Speaker 2 And how do you do that? Well, you give them to them the night before and have them wear them to bed. And it's a whole event.
And it's very exciting. It's very easy.

Speaker 2 They get to do the open the gift thing. So they're, you know, they're getting excited.
They're really getting into the spirit.

Speaker 2 And also they look cute in the morning.

Speaker 1 Right. For the photos and whatever.

Speaker 2 Of course.

Speaker 1 Well, also, it's like when you were a kid, did you have... There's an age at which you just don't have pajamas anymore.
Right? Like, did you have pajamas when you were a teenager?

Speaker 1 Um, yeah, I just wore underwear, and then in the summer, I slept in my swimsuit.

Speaker 1 I did, I did, really, all the time, all the time. I'd just be out in my swimsuit all day, it would dry on my body, and then I would like sleep in my swimsuit.

Speaker 2 You sound feral, yeah.

Speaker 1 I was pretty feral as a kid.

Speaker 2 Of course, I had pajamas, and you know, and I have my pajama tradition now as well. Although, I don't give myself Christmas pajamas because for me, that feels like a waste.

Speaker 2 For the kids, it's an adorable indulgence.

Speaker 1 Yeah, yeah, but like Christmas pajamas, a really specific set of clothes for one day, basically.

Speaker 2 Buddy, you would not believe. So I was in Target today and I was going around like getting like stocking stuffers and things.

Speaker 2 And the number of ridiculous Christmas outfits they had, they had like big old, like sequin Christmas dresses for moms with like fur trim. And I was like, that's too much.
That's just too much.

Speaker 1 Yeah. And not everything's a photo opportunity, you know what I mean? Or not a publishable one, right? That's how I feel.

Speaker 1 It's just like, you know, you want photos from Christmas morning, you know, Or like old VHS tapes from the camcorder or whatever, you know? That stuff. And it's like, that's got to be the, right.

Speaker 1 The most recorded event on a regular basis is Christmas morning.

Speaker 2 Yeah. I will say that because I've got the widget on my phone that just shows me random photos, it does pop up a lot of times.

Speaker 2 Christmas photos from like, you know, the previous Christmases with the kids with them in their Christmas pajamas, like opening gifts.

Speaker 2 And every time it shows those, I absolutely take a moment to open them and look at the photos and go, aw.

Speaker 2 So it does serve a purpose, right? To have the aesthetic. But speaking of aesthetics and Target, I learned something about myself and I'm not proud of it is

Speaker 2 I was walking through Target and I was like, oh, that basket looks nice. Oh, that vase is lovely.

Speaker 2 Like, I really like this throw. And I had the terrible realization that, Bernie, my home decor aesthetic is Target chic.

Speaker 1 Yeah, that's not a bad thing, right? Target's not too bad.

Speaker 2 No, but it's like, no, I'm mad because like all that stuff is like,

Speaker 2 it's targeted here. It's so easy to, it's like every single city has like a target and has all the baskets and has all the stuff, right?

Speaker 2 And has the tray that then you put the vase with like the one stem of the thing in. And it's so easy and everyone has it and everyone does it.

Speaker 2 And I feel like where I am in the middle of nowhere, we don't, we have no target. We have no equivalent of that and I can't do it.
I'm being, I'm being deprived of target chic.

Speaker 1 So we should probably say this too because it's very obvious at this point. We're not in Scotland right now.
We're in Utah. We came to visit Ashley's family, right?

Speaker 1 But we often don't say whenever we're traveling, just for reasons that are personal to us. We just don't say when we're traveling.
And so we were in Target today. The main goal in Target was

Speaker 1 to buy Christmas presents for each other. Like the kids had to buy for you.
And then the kids, you took the kids and they bought for me. And then we bought each other a little something.

Speaker 1 Because our actual gifts were in Scotland. Like I bought you those headphones.

Speaker 2 Yes.

Speaker 1 That would

Speaker 1 let you open before we got in the plane because otherwise you would get one less use out

Speaker 1 And they were great on the plane But I learned in Target that Finn has inherited my gift-giving like deficits

Speaker 2 absolutely the second you walked away and I took the kids to go shop for you Finn goes so can I tell you what we got you and I was like no I was like no he goes but he goes but we already got it and I was like I know but it's supposed to be a surprise and he goes it is a surprise because you don't know what we got let me tell you and I had to explain to him like I'm not supposed to know until I open the present on Christmas Day yeah yeah And he was like, oh, he deflated.

Speaker 2 He deflated a little bit. He is.
If they wanted to share it with you. If there was any question that he's yours, we now have confirmation.

Speaker 1 Ashley, let me just, I'll just give you a broad hint in like a major, like high-level category here. It's such a shitty present.
You're just going to have to fake it so hard when you get it.

Speaker 1 Everything we're getting for each other is like, we don't want to spend too much because, I mean, our main gifts, like I said, are back in Scotland.

Speaker 1 Also, we can't get anything big because we're about to leave in a couple days and we don't want to pack it all back there. Right.

Speaker 2 I took the kids aside and I was like, here's the rules. Here's the rules.
Nothing big.

Speaker 1 That's the rules.

Speaker 2 That's all the rules. Nothing big because we have to take in a suitcase to get home.
So nothing big.

Speaker 1 I would also like to point out that to your dear, lovely mother, we also gave that same advice, what, two years ago? And she gave us a rug.

Speaker 1 We're about to get on a plane and go back.

Speaker 1 We have a rug.

Speaker 2 It was one of those, you know, like the city, the like city rugs for kids, like a play organ. She's like, you can fit it in your suitcase.
And I was like, We absolutely cannot fit it in the suitcase.

Speaker 2 That is not at all what's happening. And it got left behind.
And I believe there it remains.

Speaker 1 Is it's that it's there at the house?

Speaker 2 I think so.

Speaker 1 We could probably figure something out. I said that last time, though, and we didn't figure anything out with it, did we?

Speaker 2 I'll tell you what, you can have it as your carry-on.

Speaker 1 You could explain to the flight attendants how you can have a play.

Speaker 1 You see a guy like me walking through with a city rug, that classic city rug, everyone's going to know. They're going to be like, I completely understand what happened.

Speaker 2 Especially like right after Christmas, they're going to be like, Yeah, he really has no choice.

Speaker 1 I really don't. What am I going to do? I'll put it in the oversized bins.
By the way, in the Salt Lake City airport, every airport has the oversized luggage area.

Speaker 1 But I guess because Utah is Salt Lake is a big ski destination. Holy cow, that's like the coolest ever like oversized luggage claim that I've ever seen in my life.

Speaker 2 That's because all the luggage is oversized.

Speaker 1 That was really cool, man. I made me regret not bringing like a set of golf clubs or skis or something like that.

Speaker 2 Let me introduce you to the play rug.

Speaker 1 Do people really do that? Do you travel with with like skis? I've never skied. Is that like you have to bring your skis?

Speaker 2 I mean, if you, if you are an avid skier, you have your skis that you like. You're not going to want to rent some shitty skis at the place you're going to.

Speaker 2 So you're absolutely going to take your skis.

Speaker 1 It makes sense.

Speaker 2 That's what oversized baggage is for.

Speaker 1 There was a Reddit thread recently. It was like, hey, people in your industry, what do you like, do people not realize about your industry?

Speaker 1 And there was a guy in there who was like, hey, I work in the golf, like manufacturing and equipment industry. Nothing has changed.
In about about two decades.

Speaker 1 We topped out and like we put out new products all the time, but there's nothing different about our products at all.

Speaker 2 You mean they're not like now carbon fiber or

Speaker 1 scores or

Speaker 1 changes, right? But it's like if it's a hobby, you know, like tomorrow there'll be a lot of people who get like a new putter or something because that nobody knows what else to buy that guy.

Speaker 2 And I guarantee you, you know what? That putter is cutting-edge technology, and you should be so happy that you've received a new putter.

Speaker 1 Yeah.

Speaker 1 So somebody even said, by the way, in the comments, hey, like, if your earphones, like your ear pads, were the only thing that were wrong with your headphones, why did Bernie just not replace your ear pads?

Speaker 1 And why did he get you new headphones? It's like, I got to get her something, right? It's like, this is the weird thing about Christmas.

Speaker 1 I got to get you something. And they were old.
They were going bad. They were USB micro.

Speaker 2 I was going to say, you know, the other major tick against them is they were micro USB and they're one of the only micro USB things left in the house.

Speaker 2 And so they, at some point, they were going anyway.

Speaker 1 We got to figure that out, though, because actually this is a good indication.

Speaker 1 The economic data came out. The SP 500 hit another all-time high, record highs.
They're not trading today. Why?

Speaker 1 Well, because the economic growth in the second quarter of this year, they now have the final data on everything. And it grew more than it had in two years, way more than people expected.

Speaker 1 Inflation, though, is still sticking around because of the same reason for both factors, I think, which is consumer spending is still just

Speaker 1 full tilt. Like they can't get people to stop spending money.
So the economy is doing fantastic, growing like a weed. And also, though, inflation is still sticking around.
You know what I mean?

Speaker 1 It's like, here we are. It's like, we need something.

Speaker 1 Correct me if I'm wrong.

Speaker 1 At some point in your life, you reach a certain age where it's like, you don't really need anything for Christmas, but there's this obligation to buy things, which I think like a DVD is perfect because it's like 20 bucks here.

Speaker 1 That's contract is done.

Speaker 2 Like, here, I thought of you.

Speaker 1 Right. Like, what is that with inflation? It's like, what, 20 to 50 bucks, right?

Speaker 1 That's enough.

Speaker 2 Sure. I look, or you can do what you do and just buy a lot on eBay, right? Get like 50 DVDs for 20 bucks and give them to everyone you know.

Speaker 1 If I gave you like a garage sale box of Blu-rays, you'd be happy with that gift.

Speaker 2 No, no, no. You, you go through the box and you pick out one that you think I might like and you wrap that one.

Speaker 1 Yeah. Like, if anything wanted to get you two of the thing that you're getting tomorrow, and I was like, just get her the one, dude.
Just

Speaker 2 the one is just get her the one.

Speaker 1 The thing that Evie got you're gonna you're gonna laugh when you see it It's ridiculous

Speaker 1 But it's like I'm not gonna convince him to spend more money, right?

Speaker 2 Right. So I when I went shopping for stocking stuffers.
I do have to tell you

Speaker 2 that I I had some fun and as a result

Speaker 2 Your stocking and my stocking are also the kids stockings, right? Everything that's going in our stockings is actually for the kids.

Speaker 1 Yeah, by the way, so is that okay? The recommendations we had for stocking stuffers were all over the board.

Speaker 2 Yeah, no, it was really cool. We got a lot of interesting recommendations.
It was was cool hearing like people's traditions because a lot of them are like, yeah, that's a super weird tradition.

Speaker 2 And that seems like something like a family would absolutely do. Like I saw a comment from someone saying that in their family, every stocking gets a Mexican Coke.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I saw squirt guns because they're in a hot area and it's record highs now for a lot of the country tomorrow for Christmas Day.

Speaker 1 Apparently it's going to be record highs for pretty much everywhere but. the northeast, which is still getting blasted by cold weather.

Speaker 2 Right. Well, it's because the northwest the northeast is hogging all the snow, right?

Speaker 1 We can say this, by the way, we got a warning we never had heard. I had never heard before when we were coming into Salt Lake where the pilot, like, you said, We're about 20 minutes from landing.

Speaker 1 Uh, flight attends, please take your seat. No one get up from this point.
We're gonna have some very severe turbulence landing in the airport.

Speaker 2 It was really scary because I've been in some pretty crazy turbulence before, and that was the most severe warning I've ever heard. I had my hands on the kids, I was like,

Speaker 2 I'm gonna hold you kids down. You're gonna be safe.
I'm gonna keep you safe. I was max stressing, and then the plane bumped a couple times, like little tiny bumps and then smoothed, smoothed out.

Speaker 2 It was like tiny bumps. It was like the mildest turbulence in the world.
And I was like, oh, that fucking, I was almost mad that it wasn't worse because I was so prepared.

Speaker 1 It was crazy. We traveled this last weekend and

Speaker 1 I had to keep track of it just for my own sanity.

Speaker 1 We went from Aberdeen to London Heath Road to Chicago to Salt Lake City. So basically three destinations, three planes we got on.
We had to go through security three different times.

Speaker 2 At every single airport, we had to go through Aberdeen, as you would expect. But then, also, because we had a terminal change in London, we had to go through security again.

Speaker 2 Also, because it was like an international connection, I guess. And then we get to Chicago, go through customs, but it's not just like off to your next plane.

Speaker 2 Then we had to go out of security, go to another terminal, and go back in security. They had no way to get you from one terminal to another terminal without you leaving security and redoing it.

Speaker 1 Even when I've had the same terminal, you leave the clean area and they put you back in. Basically, it's like this

Speaker 1 weird, like

Speaker 1 unstated disapproval of everyone else's security in the world. It's like, you're not good enough for us.
We do the same fucking thing in every security checkpoint.

Speaker 1 The other thing was, I also counted, we had to show our identification eight times. It's so bizarre.
It was 24 hours on the clock of traveling.

Speaker 1 We went through three security checkpoints and we just show our identification eight different times.

Speaker 2 You know what was really disappointing is I brought an entire ream of paper with my social media history and no one asked me.

Speaker 1 Oh, right, right. Well, we're not, we're citizens of the U.S.

Speaker 1 So we didn't have to do that stuff. It's like, good luck with that.
You want all my opinions of like Steve Rogers and

Speaker 1 the doomsday trailer? Good luck. That's out, by the way.
That's now no longer a spoiler.

Speaker 2 Okay, that's that's not secret.

Speaker 1 Yeah, I think they expected that people were going to react a lot more viscerally to that, like in a good way. And I think people are just like, okay, okay.

Speaker 2 Do you think that like they monitor the chatter after that sort of thing and readjust expectations? I actually do.

Speaker 1 I think Marvel does. I think they monitor that stuff so closely, and I think they do so many test screenings and make so many adjustments.
It's like a whole process with them, I think. Yeah.
Right.

Speaker 1 I think what we're getting at the end of the day is so homogenized. Hopefully, they back off from that a little bit, right?

Speaker 2 You know, the best part of the teaser was the part where Steve Rogers is walking through the airport with like a city rug.

Speaker 1 Yeah, exactly. He'd be like, I get it, pal.
I get it.

Speaker 1 I get it. He's got to return it back to its timeline.

Speaker 1 Yeah, but it's, you know, it's one of those things.

Speaker 1 They're putting out the trailers on the teasers on YouTube now.

Speaker 1 The speculation is because the second one's about to hit in theaters, and then there'll probably be other characters as well.

Speaker 1 But somebody made a really good point, I thought, not to fall into the Marvel gravity well here. Too late.
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 1 Is that it's like they're just kind of nerfing like everything that was cool about Endgame, like all the cool storylines they had. Right.

Speaker 2 That's the

Speaker 2 one of the big downsides to like the sort of comic tradition of resurrection. You know what? right, is it

Speaker 2 cheapens to some degree the sacrifice that those characters made. Right.

Speaker 2 That sacrifice was impactful because it was a sacrifice.

Speaker 1 And God's

Speaker 1 going to be. 10 years straight in order to pay that off.
And it's like they didn't necessarily need to go back, but they can't help themselves. Yeah.

Speaker 2 It's like, I mean, I guess they're like, well, what do we do? I guess go back to the formula that we know.

Speaker 1 So are we going to be watching these movies for 40 years? You know? Until you're 90. Until you're 90.
Or till they make an AI clone of you, and then we're watching them forever and ever and ever.

Speaker 2 Then the AI clone is going to watch it for us.

Speaker 1 Then nobody else gets the job. Yeah.
I guess so. They're stuck with it.
So, you know, I want to hear what everyone else's Christmas Eve traditions are. Or don't, don't leave a comment today.

Speaker 1 Just go hang out with your family and chill out and get ready for Christmas tomorrow.

Speaker 2 So only leave a comment if you are taking a break from your family because it's a very intense time. And as much as you love your family, I understand if you need a break.

Speaker 1 We all understand that.

Speaker 2 We all get that. But you know who we never need a break from, Bernie?

Speaker 1 Wander Wonder and Alex Ellers.

Speaker 2 Thank you both so much for sponsoring this episode of our show at patreon.com/slash morning summer and roostyourteeth.com.

Speaker 1 All right, that does it for us today. Christmas Eve, 2025.
We'll be back to talk with you briefly tomorrow. Very briefly.
We hope you will be here as well. Bye, everybody.
