Skunkshan, saxophone, seasons, splinter.
Beep, be one out there's got to be one out there.
I know our listeners, someone's gotten sucked into a good ska band in 2025.
You don't need a new sky band because all the old scot bands are still there.
They've already done it.
Yeah, so you can't make it any better than it already was.
That's fair.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.

a disaster you think my reading's bad free balling it might just going through stuff like that
and just talking,
oh, it'd be a disaster.
Can't read, can't talk, can't draw.
Yep.
God.
You're a triple threat, man.
I'm okay in spurts.
Like, you give me 10 seconds to get something out.
I'm okay.
Anything past that, I'm fumbling.
That's what she said.
I'm like,
I'm like Leon lead at the goal line.
Oh, nice.
That's a reference for anybody for lead fans.
The last time the Cowboys did anything.
Yeah.
Leon Lett.
Oh, Letts fans.
Yeah, the Dallas Cowboys.
when he was getting cocky.
Six, seven.
And Don Bebebecky
came down and smacked it out of his
hand at the goal line.
I mean, they still won, but...
Oh, well, no one's more happier
than Mr. Letts.
Yeah.
Yeah. He didn't let the team down.
He didn't let it get to him.
It was the last time you thought about
Don Bebe.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, boy.
It's been a bit.
A couple hours.
He was a good player.
Yeah.
But I think that's pretty much
Sturman Thomas.
Yeah, covering out the game.
We can go on about old sports players for...
We could.
Forever.
I'd better not let myself go there because...
I could just have a whole podcast just talking about...
Just saying names and being like, oh, yeah.
And then the next person says a name.
And they go, oh, yeah.
Dude, I remember him.
Norm Johnson.
Yeah, then someone else comes back with something else.
He's like, what?
I totally forgot about him.
I used to just sitting at a bar.
Just late at night.
It's like 1 o'clock in the morning.
And everyone's leave.
Even, and there's some guy at the bar you bring up Don Beebe, and he's like,
Don Bebe, and it's like, you know Don Beebe? He's like, too, I know Don Beebe. I'm like, okay.
And then he taps his wife on the shoulder, goes, you just go home.
I'll take it from here. Yeah. I'll meet you a late one.
You're driving. Not my problem. We're doing Don Bebebe. That's two hours for me problem.
Yeah, well, we'll hash it out when I get back. We're talking Don Bibi.
We're talking 1992 football here, okay? You don't want to be a part of this. I don't want you to get hurt.
All right. Well, on that note, let's get the show rolling.
Let's just get into episode 183.
Hell, yeah, brother.
We know what to do. We just got to tell Zach to push it.
Can you? Oh, go ahead.
No.
Back to you?
Zach, would you mind if you have sex?
If you're not doing anything.
Have sex?
Hey, shut up. Start the show already.
I could have sworn with 100% confidence.
You just said, hey, Zach, would you mind if we had sex?
Do it?
No.
Well, that's, there's me talking again.
here's me doing this again
you let me have more than 10 seconds
do you want to read
this would you rather
I mean a little more than 10 seconds maybe but
well I think you can pull it off
I what happened
I don't know if I have the most updated version
all right so you read it and I'll take it from here
so would you rather
purposely shove a two inch long splinter
a two inch long
I was my I wanted to make sure we had the same thing
So I didn't jump ahead and jump in there
Okay, gotcha
Okay, I'm gonna let you keep reading
But I got questions about a two inch long splinter
Like when is a splinter stop being a splinter
And turn into a spike
Yeah, it's a fucking spike at some point
Yeah, that's too much
Can me, I mean
That's kindling
I don't know where this is going exactly
But I feel like
We should dial that back to maybe an inch
Even then
I'm hesitant to call an inch a splinter
I mean I've had some pretty big ones
But an inch is a that's
That's large
Yeah
Just for the
Just for the sake of the
Because this could be a whole
Another
Discussion
For another time
What's a splinter?
Well Splinter to me
Is a rat
That trains
Turtles
To eat pizza
Who have happened to
Find their way
Into nuclear waste
Yeah
That's what Splinters
Yeah
That's what Splinter is to me
Do you know
The Secret of the use
Pizza?
Is it vanilla ice?
Go Ninja, go, Ninja, go.
Back to you.
Two inch long splinters straight down the center under your thumbnail and keep it there until you can win five games in a row of thumb wrestling with a stranger.
By the way, this was, I'm pretty sure this is sent in from Shane.
Again?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, Shane's getting a featured piece this month.
You know what?
You ever start thinking about something?
and then it's like you hyper focus on it.
That's how my brain works.
I think that's Shane's brain right now.
He thought of one,
Would You Rather?
He's like,
oh, I could do this.
He's like,
the whole world is Would You Rather is now.
Yeah, really.
He's missing family engagements.
He's fucking up at work.
His sleep schedule is out the window.
He's just lying awake.
Would you rather be me wide awake at 3 a.m.?
When you have a big day tomorrow or...
His kid's like,
I'm hungry, daddy.
And he's sitting up at night and he's like,
it's not funny enough.
You can do better.
It's got to be funnier.
It's got to be funnier.
Don't just talk about how sad you are.
They don't like to talk about sad, Shane.
Come on, think.
Think.
He's sticking a splinter into his fingers.
Think.
He's like, oh.
Just to feel anything to distract me from would you rather's.
He's jamming splinters.
He's like, that reminds me of a would you rather.
Yeah, it's kind of like the lashings that people give themselves, right?
Right.
Okay.
Stop thinking about that.
Quetuch of yourself.
Um, with every loss, you have to dip your thumb in lemon juice.
This guy's just putting fuel, lemon on the, on the open wound.
And you know, and this is a, you describe the situation perfectly because if a two inch, uh, loosely defined splinter under your thumbnail and playing five, or having to win five games in a row doing some thumb wrestling wasn't enough, he was like, that's not it.
Yeah, he goes, he's not getting punished enough.
He's like, what else?
what else think you fucking idiot
lemon juice
he's like just
just he's like okay well
I'll put some lemon juice in there
hopefully they take it
that seems crazy enough
alright so we got all that
okay what's the flip
what's the or
because that's all just one thing
okay that's a lot
or you slash
or
slap
not slash your grandma's ass
okay
it's not even your grandma
it's not even your grandma
You are, and I don't want to call out the obvious right now, but if you are a part of the listening audience, Brian has forgot his reading glasses today.
Yeah.
I'm not sure if you've noticed.
Back to you.
I thought I was, I mean, as far as reading goes, I thought I was doing a pretty decent job.
Slap slash grab.
That's where the slash comes into place.
And your grandma, slash, grab.
Your grandma's nowhere near this was rather.
in this one at all um but well she is actually oh she is yeah so i got ahead of myself
okay slash fuck you oh i'm tangled up in the in the landline the landline i haven't heard that
sentence is the 90s oh my foot's caught in the landline slap slash grab your mom's ass like
she's a college babe and it's spring break okay in front
of the whole family at
grandma's
funeral. Okay.
So one and done.
But a really bad time to do it.
It's pretty bad.
I think he might be misinterpreting the point
of college.
Yeah.
Probably not supposed to slap asses. I'm not sure.
Yeah. Like, you don't just go out and
I mean, I guess you do. They don't like it. They're not fans.
Yeah. Can you imagine? Like, you're, I don't know, you're down in Cabo.
He's like, weep, the cops show up. Like, sir.
These 45 women are saying that you're walking up slapping and grabbing their asses.
And you're like, yeah, it's spring break.
And he doesn't click the pen and go, you're right.
Fine.
Right.
You're right.
No rules here.
Sorry.
I didn't.
Spring breaks, they vary.
I just wanted to make sure you were on spring break.
You are literally immune to all laws.
I feel like there are certain situations where it's probably less frowned upon.
hear me out
I'm not saying that it's okay
to just go grab someone by the puss
or slap their ass
You got to read the room
You got to read the room
If you're in a room
You probably shouldn't be doing that
But spring break
Breeds one of those
It breeds an environment
Where there's a lot of drinking
Remember girls gone wild
Like all
They had a camera
I've never seen it unscrambled
But I know what you're talking about
There was a point in time
If people don't remember
Where you'd go to spring break
And you'd show up
with a camera and beads and women would just flash their boobs and everyone was kind of
described new orleans yeah back to you right uh but there was a time and place where that was
kind of like you knew what you were getting yourself into you know what i mean so not that ass
you shouldn't just go slap someone's ass but i feel like someone's showing you their tits is different
than walking up and slap grabbing their ass i agree but what i'm what i'm saying is if there was ever a time
in a place where just random ass slapping would be somewhat accepted or be happening,
spring break is probably one of those places.
And, you know, it's really funny, and you're not wrong, because there does become a time
if you've ever found yourself in this situation that's been like, I don't know,
hyped, it's hyper, it's super, it's just above all the stereotypes, you do get a little tired
of it, which is really funny to say.
But, like, there's situations where, like, there's no amount of tits that are going to keep you awake.
Like, you're just, you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You start, like, as soon as you start reaching a peak where you don't really care about some flash titties, go home.
I'm tired of this boner.
Yeah, but it does happen.
You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, fucking seen them.
You know, I think it would take a lot for me.
Prove it.
I wasn't in a lot of situations where there were just tities flashing everywhere.
Yeah.
And I don't think I would.
I don't think I would get, it would take a lot.
before I got sick of it.
Bartender at the strip club.
I wouldn't go around slapping asses.
Hey, can I get a dollar off this drink?
I'll show you my tits.
And he's like,
I'm bartender at a strip club?
Yeah.
I'll show you my pussy if you give me this drink for free.
He's like, get the fuck out of here.
Seen it.
You make some gag?
He's like, all set.
All set.
Oh, do you like it when I...
I'm good here.
How about you say you give you?
me this drink for free and I do a little dance just like oh can you do my taxes god I'm over it
I am stressed out well you know what's funny about that as if you think about it like if you
work at a strip club people probably just assume you're just like a sexual fiend that can't get
enough of it and really it's like no dude they're accepting your job application and it's like that
guy just he's a he's good at security and it's just a job to him yeah it's not like yeah
Oh, I work security at Strip Club.
Oh, you're a, you're a, you know, a freak and a, it's like, it's like, no, he just is good at security.
He's like, I get a paycheck.
And I see some boobs, so you tell me.
Yeah, it's like, it's pretty good.
I get a paycheck and I see.
You work security too, right?
Yeah, do you see any boobs down at Silver Lake Mall?
No.
Lowing your job sucks.
Yeah.
Have fun stopping shoplifters.
Yeah.
And just so.
I'm going to stand here and actually punch people and see boobs.
Right.
that's pretty good deal
Anna can wear sweatpants
Pretty good deal
Fuck me right
I'm an idiot
Before we move on
Just want to make
We haven't answered shit
I know but before we move on
Before we get back to the question
I just want to make
Sure that I'm clear here
That I'm not going around
slapping people's asses
No you're not
I'm just saying that a situation like this
Can be hypersexual
Situation there's alcohol
Yeah yeah
There's titty's flashing
The idea of someone
Going around slapping asses
Yeah
It's not the greatest thing
But I'm telling you
If there's a place where it's going to happen, spring break is probably the place.
During those younger years, yeah.
During the younger years, it's hypersexual.
And not in front of your whole family at Grandma's funeral.
Right.
Okay.
So that's a one-off that you might not ever be up.
But it's so shocking that people might block it out of their brain.
And you just get to go back to life.
Well, I think if you walk up and what if you walked up behind mom slapped her ass and pulled her shirt up and flash your boobs?
Well, that's not in here, but I like where this is going.
Like now, and then you.
put some beads over and then you walk down,
Grandma would have loved this and then walk off.
You just keep going.
I know.
You take the necklace off your dead grandma
and then throw it to your mom.
You're like, show me your tents!
As you stand on top of the casket,
that's a funeral.
Fuck yeah.
But that's not the question.
That's a yacht.
Okay, so let's go back to a two inch long splinter.
Can we, I'm not putting, I will...
Speaking of splinter, I am boned up right now.
I'm slapping all your mom's ass.
passes at all the funerals with and not putting a two inch long splinter like that's past
the first joint well do you have to push it in two inches or is it just a too long splinter that
you're jammed just barely in yeah i mean yeah it doesn't matter how long it is at that point
right now is then is it a splinter anymore if it's not in it's not a splinter that's my daddy
story's that's right can we go down to like i mean a half inch fucking splinter yeah is a lot
I mean, down to, let's go down to one.
Because two is, like, that's through the first joint.
You can first knuckle.
You can bump that on a lot of things, too.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, and your thumb wrestling.
Like, that's a, that's a disaster.
It's all the way under your thumbnail.
You got to be like a bull rider where you got to keep that hand up.
Yeah.
If I'm thumb wrestling, I'm keeping this hand with a splinter hand.
No, you have to use the splinter hand in the thumb wrestling.
Yes, that's implied, Brian.
Oh, I just, I just assumed you had it in the other hand, but you were thumb wrestling.
And you're dipping your perfectly fine thumb and lemon juice?
Well, it's, no, no, you're like, you're an idiot shame.
You're dipping the, I thought you were dipping, this is the injured hand, and you're fighting with this hand.
No, I think it's implied that you have to fight with the one that is being hurt.
But the mom thing, she's going to always remember you just like giving it a, like a grab, an aggressive grab.
She's crying, her mom just died.
And you're like, sup, babe.
Leave a big old handprint.
Yeah.
You just walk up to her and slap her on the eye.
and you're like,
what position did you play?
Good game.
Good game, mom.
What?
What?
Anyway, I like to say a few words.
Turn the mic up.
I mean, okay.
He always does this.
Really what it comes down to, how, how, uh, is this just a one-time thing with the son?
They're both one-offs, right?
You have to win five in a row, though, with the, which eventually the pain, we know how to
go, it'll just get so numb at a point.
Now you're back to, like, just trying to thumb wrestle.
And so.
You're not crying.
But it might be a couple weeks
It'll go away
It'll go away
But the
The memory of ass slap
Yeah
Yeah
No
Dude fuck it
I'm slap my mom's ass
I've just set
Like in my life
I'm a little
I'm lucky enough
To have
The outside perception
That you're just kind of weird
And a goofy person
So I think that
I have a better chance
Of doing that
And then having to apologize for it
And letting it
It just drifts away
What's your apology
you the because you can't you can't say well
it was a would you rather that was like how do you
apologize for that? What's your reasoning?
I'm like, you fucking tell me I can't when
your ass looks that good.
That's not an apology.
You just. Sorry your ass looks that good in
grandma's dress? What do you want me to say
Brian? Not that
because now it's getting more
sexual. I'm like sorry
I had a weak moment
I was picturing you on a
yacht in Cancun.
I was as stiff as grandma and
I had to do something about it
See at dinner
We're still going out for pizza?
Save some sandwiches for me
Yeah
We're still going out for pizza after this
Yeah
Whatever the apology is
I feel like
Your family
They love you
They can
And it's gonna be funny
At least in my situation
Over time
That's ridiculous
It'll turn into something
Like a joke
And you can live through that
I've lived through worse Brian
You have
So
I'm fine
But when you're not there and everyone's sitting around, they're like, what the fuck was with Joe?
And they just, and then you come back, oh, there's my boy.
And then as soon as you leave, just, I don't fucking kid has lost it.
As long as I don't know.
Yeah.
You don't know, you know.
I mean, even dialing it back to a one inch splinter under your fucking.
Dude, it doesn't matter how long it is at that point.
Okay, so I'm picking slapping ass.
I'm slap my mom's ass at my grandma's funeral.
Uh, I am not shoving a one inch splinter down the seven.
in my thumbnail than having to win
five games in a row of thumb wrestling
with a stranger. Is it a kid?
Yeah, if that's it, you're like
one, two, three, four, five, fucking you...
What up, nerd? Beating it, dweeb!
I think it's...
Dude, if it's fucking
if it's sliced
alone and over the top,
now we've
got a problem. Yeah.
That's just too much pain. That's too long.
Because you're never going to win.
Not with... I mean...
It's hard to move.
Yeah. You're not beating
a professional, like a, what if a, you run into a professional thumb wrestling?
Yeah, you never know who you're going to deal with.
Like, do you get to pick the person?
Eh, doesn't say in there.
Just a stranger.
Didn't say first person.
So yeah, I guess you get to pick them.
You just can't know him.
You actually just pick some idiot and then win it and yank it out.
You're kind of persuaded me back the other way.
But I also kind of want to feel what my mom's ass feels like.
Just kidding.
But I'm still picking that.
I know what it feels like.
It's not as great as you think it is.
I'm aware.
As great as you think it is
What are you guys picking?
I'm ass slapping my dead mom
Fuck yeah, let's go
I'll probably do the ass slap too
All right
Jiggle all the way home
Fucking spring break
All right next
Zach, quiet
Hey
Hey what's up babe
What are you thinking about?
You know nothing
Actually, you know what
I'm thinking about a lot of shit
What are you thinking about
Joe
What are you thinking about?
What are you thinking about?
Okay
So a cute moment
At the time that we record this
It was two nights ago
Two days ago
Ezra
For this
Do they have a semester
At middle school
He decided
They get to pick like different things
I forget what they're called
But like oh exploratory
Is about the school
You familiar with that?
I've dabbled
Yes
I've explored the exploratory
Yeah
Explore the room
Like every little chunk of a semester
you bounce around between like different
creatives.
So they don't just like stick you in one thing.
You just dabble in it.
And then you can move off to something else.
And he chose band and he loved it.
But what he's good at is drums.
He's good at drums.
And he did not pick the drums.
He came home.
I guess a couple months.
We're already good at drums.
A couple months.
Kick it better.
I have reached the top.
Reached the mountain top.
tough. I'm like, if your 40-year-old dad who doesn't play drums anymore, used to, is better
than you, keep going. Like, I don't know how to do it anymore, and I'm still better than you.
You haven't reached the top. Yeah, but you get, once you get the gist of it, you can get better.
Maybe he wanted to learn a new instrument. Sure. Well, go with that. Um, he came home and said,
uh, I'm going to play saxophone. And he said that because he knows that I have, maybe he said,
I wanted to have some phone sex
and you misinterpreted it.
And I was like, oh, right here.
And he's like, what?
And the saxophone I have is
Grace, my sister that passed away,
her tenor sex.
I have it.
So good and bad.
We've busted it out.
We've played around with it a little bit.
And he decided that he wanted to learn
how to play saxophone.
And I was like, all right.
Like, let's do it.
And also being a band dork myself,
all through, I mean, elementary, middle school, high school, and then, you know, did do music in college before I switched out and I was like, I don't want to teach music. And that's where this is going. So fuck this and switched out of that. Did I ever tell you guys that? Yeah. I'd say it on the show. Like, I had, like, so I got a full ride because of academics and my music scholarship. And then I switched majors and I guess never told the foundation that was giving me,
money that I switched majors
just waited for them to find out
fuck those did they find out
yeah for like a year and a half
was already paid for though
was they gonna say give it back
no take these backsies
no like taking money
get it back you had taken money
from a college kid that you gave
scholarship money to
who has a fast fuck
because his family can't afford it
you're like give it back
fucking traitor
you on a payment plan they're like oh
well he's supposed to update us like oh I thought I did
Anyway, see you, nerds.
So, anyway, so whatever.
And I know from that experience that actually, like, playing percussion in the band setting is pretty fucking boring.
Because you're just hitting the snare and symbols and shit.
It's more like a time to relax and not have to do anything if you're in like middle school and high school band.
Anyway, so he played saxophone and he had their first middle school concert a couple nights ago.
And he's playing saxophone and we show up
And it's sixth grade, seventh grade, eighth grade
And they're all just doing like a collection of like mostly Christmas songs
But also just like shit they can play
Which doesn't always fit into Christmas things
Certain songs, but not all of them
Of course we heard hot cross buns, right?
Is it hot cross buns a Christmas song?
I don't know
But if you wear it is a school music song
But if you wear a Santa hat, I guess so
Right
So they played all that and it went great
he did great. They sounded great. And they switched over to the seventh graders. And Ezra had some
friends that were in seventh grade and eighth grade band. So he's like, can we stick around and watch
him? And I'm like, yeah, you know, sure, of course. And I just compared it to like if your kid is
hurt or injured and they can't play like in their baseball game or their football game. Like you still
make, they go, they're on the sidelines and you as a parent, you are there. Because it's,
you have to show them that just like they have to be there to support their team, you are there
to support them while they support their team.
Like, it's that trickle-down parenting thing.
So we're there.
That sucks.
I know.
So we're sitting there watching just a fucking stellar performance.
And halfway through their second song, there's a loud thud in the upper balcony of the gymnasium.
Like, you didn't know what it was, but you knew it wasn't good.
wasn't part of the show
it wasn't no it wasn't like
Santa was
oh oh oh no like
it was
like Santa crashed into the building
yeah like he missed the chimney
like he sawed a hole
and fell through the fucking
gymnasium roof
reindeer down
and no one knew what happened
and you know they're playing
and the conductor
like he's peeking over his shoulder
you know doing one of those
he's like this
he's like he's like he's like
he's like he's a one two
like kind of
do a little peek back
and then as they keep playing
they finish out the song
but I'm not looking backwards
I'm watching this incredible performance
and then he stops
and it's like you can hear scuffling
and you look up there and there's just a bunch
of people huddled around a body
oh god
okay oh I'm just getting started
huddled around
a human like a full-sized man
who is just like
say a person
when you say body
I assume the dude's dead
oh you're about to find out oh
so huddled around
a at the time
a live body
oh okay and they're huddled around they're looking at it
and he he does
this little number uh the conductor
and then he puts his hands down
all the instruments go down you know and then he
steps off his little podium
and then goes and walks over
and starts talking to like I'm assuming
the principal or the vice principal
I'm trying to put on a performance here
he's not dying in tempo
and there's people gathered
obviously something is going on
and we don't know what it is
come to find out
what happened was there was a dad
who was coming down the bleachers
I think he might have had like
a little bit of a disability like a movement disability
or a drinking problem
nope and he tripped so he fell down the stairs of the upper deck and slammed his head into the
stairs and then started having a seizure again out of tempo he was not shaking in 120 beats per minute
um so they did that oh my god and they're they're caring for him and they're figuring it out
and the conductor the band teacher he's talking to the principal and this is like
like five minutes, you know,
we're all there. I'm looking at
Cassie, and she's like,
like, what, like, what a, can you
just keep going?
Like, the show must go on. The Christmas spirit
is gone.
What was left of it?
After all the
of all the kid instruments,
which was barely keeping the Christmas spirit
alive. Right now
it is gone. And they're
huddled around, and they're doing like
the
And he's sitting there, and then the conductor, he fixes his glasses, a sordid guy just like this, takes a deep breath.
He turns around, walks back over there, picks up the microphone, and goes, they're having a little bit of a medical emergency up there.
He goes, but I've been informed that the show must go on.
Oh, no.
And he goes, and he goes, we wish your family nothing but the best.
Here's smoke on the water.
Clink, clink.
That's the microphone down.
And while this is happening,
fucking ambulances and fire trucks
are parked outside.
They're rushing,
the EMTs are rushing in the door.
And it's just going,
be,
bam,
bam,
be,
bam,
be da.
Bamb b'a.
And they're doing solos.
They're standing up
and taking their turn going,
w'am,
and here.
Attitude.
And then, like, and we're just looking at each other as they're up there, like, the guy, runs down and grabs the fucking, uh, the paddles.
Like, the emergency paddust, it runs up there.
The defibrillator thing.
Everyone is just like, what the fuck is happening?
Smoke on the water.
Just like they're running in and fucking.
And like, so they get him, they get him out.
He didn't die.
And they got them downstairs.
They carried them down.
And then they put them in a wheelchair.
Didn't have to go on the stretcher.
So we stuck it out.
We stayed for the whole performance.
But I look back at it.
And just the difference and personality between just people in general that I turned to Cassie and I said, when he comes down here, I was like, he has a really important decision to make.
Because he could sit in that wheelchair and say, Merry Christmas, everyone.
Or like, the show.
must go on
anything and he did nothing
he just
rolled out
didn't even give him the
he didn't do a
god damn thing
and I'd like to think
that's kind of selfish
I'd like to think
if I was in that position
I'd least have something
a little one liner
just be like
sorry about that
yeah
just anything
be like
that sucked
yeah
like just I mean
whatever but that's just
different personalities
but I hope he's doing
well. It's just so funny.
Like, it's, we're not at like
Broadway.
Right. Where, like, people have
paid a lot of, like, we don't, we all don't
want to be there. Yeah. You could have ended it.
You could have ended it. And I get it that they put in a lot, the kids put
in a lot of time, but just standing up there and being like,
we got like the best, you know, all of our best thoughts to your family.
Thoughts and prayers. Thoughts and prayers. Sounds like you're going to be fine. I swear to
God, then he goes, here's smoke on the water.
And I looked
I looked at Cassie and I went
No way
And just
Boom
Boom
Boom
And I was like
And then the lights
They're illuminating the kids faces
Through the gym
Like door
Like they're playing trumpet
It's just like flashing lights on them
What the fuck are you doing here?
Oh the emergency lights
So the fire truck and ambulance lights
They're like kind of
supplying the ambiance of this
Christmas spirit.
I thought maybe you meant
like they're the lights
they had lighting in the gym.
No, through the gym doors
little windows, the lights are lighting
up the kids as they're
playing smoke on the water
and this guy's like shaking up
and we're like just sitting there being like
oh on the water.
Fire in this guy.
God, fucking.
Oh, that's amazing.
Anyway, so that's your roundup
on this week in Idaho.
I mean
I get what he's supposed to do
Yeah
Like if he died
If it was a serious thing
I'm sure they would have canceled it
They got to read on it
And they're like
What if the principal was like
Just keep going
This guy's a pussy
Mm-hmm
He does this every year
Fucking every year with this guy
He's been coming here since the 80s
He doesn't even have a kid
You're right
He's just been showing up
Every year since 81
This motherfucker shows down
At every Christmas concert
Steels the show
every time we won't let them in the band it's a whole thing and he
it is a weird thing like i wouldn't want to be the person
here's carry out my wayward son yeah i wouldn't want to be the person that makes those
decisions but i guess like if i am thinking about it uh if i was the person i don't know
like i would i i would hate for the show to end you'd hate for the kids to be like
Well, we used to all this practice and not getting to do it.
But guess what?
Life's full of disappointments.
I get it, but everybody, like, everybody got up to the real life.
You do a lot of work and no one fucking cares.
I know.
But there's just, there's a lot of moving pieces.
Like I, I told us to Amber before, and we were talking about, like, musicians and stuff.
Like, when you reach a certain level, let's say you're fucking Taylor Swift, Morgan Swift, Morgan, Walton, these people that are like, they are, like, Taylor Swift, Morgan, Walton, people like that are like, they are, they are.
corporations so if they have a if they have a concert and they have an if they're got a little
throat scratch it's not like he's canceling a show and the people are no canceled the show and we're gonna make it's
like the arena that was paid for it affects so many people and so but even on a something like this
where it's the scale is so much smaller still these kids practice for this performance people
took time off of work.
They didn't practice very hard.
I'll tell you that much.
But you get what I'm saying.
There's still a lot of moving pieces to just cancel something.
And this isn't one of them.
If the dude was like blasted, busted open and he's blood everywhere and it's like gushing all
over the place and it's affecting.
But if he's just laying there having a seizure, come on.
And just change the song.
Yeah, just power through it.
You know what I mean?
And we did.
Smoke out of the water.
Clear!
What I was hoping you were going to say was
They always said like
CPR to the beat of Staying Alive
Like if he just
He was like oh
If he had enough sense to go
Hey hey can you guys play
Stay alive? Right
We're trying to do some
CPR up here we could
So we're pulling out of all right
He's like don't worry
It's gonna sound the same as the song
We thought we were gonna play
Right
Yeah it's just a bunch of noise
It's a bunch of noise
You ready clap at the end
One two three
just the sound of instruments in general like when you go to a broadway play and they're like warming up and you hear the everybody at making different sounds together it's like yeah me me me me me me but then it's like kids doing it and it's even worse he says
oh they don't bother to warm up you know that yeah all right let's let's slide off to some dick yeah slide on to some dick come on Zach it is it dumb is it interesting is it

Screaming?
Oh, what is that?
Do you think they were screaming?
Mom, she's got one, too!

I don't know.
It's in quotations.
Whoever wrote this was like, okay.
Kids are always screaming.
Yeah.
They are.
Yeah.
It's not, I don't know if porn was the one that made him scream.
Porn would probably get him to shut the fuck up.
Yeah, what is that?
Like, what am I watching?
You're watching the best thing ever?
Okay, back to you.
I'll never forget the first time when I was a kid and I'd,
looked out the doorway and parents had TV.
It was like a Cynamax type of show on there.
Yeah.
And I just.
Just kind of like, what?
Whoa.
That changed everything.
Whoa.
The guy was like smacking the girl with a tennis racket in her butt.

Man dies of rabies after kidney transplant from donor
who saved kitten from skunk.
Mm-hmm.
Just when you thought you were sick.
I'm saved.
Whoops
So a Michigan man
Has died of rabies
After receiving a kidney from another man
Who died of the disease when he was scratched by a skunk
While defending a kitten
And what officials are describing as a
Exceptionally Rare Event
You think
You finally
You're on this list
That press conference
Oh
Um
Yeah hold on
Hold your comments with the end
This doesn't happen
very often. We fucking know!
That's why we're here!
We don't think it's a pandemic.
We get it.
What the fuck happen? Because this is wild.
I just want to reiterate this, it's the first time we've ever seen it.
First time anybody's seen it.
What are you doing?
According to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,
the Michigan patient received a kidney transplant at an Ohio hospital back in
December of 24.
You wake up and you're like, I'm alive.
I'm a wrong.
But his family.
Oh, my God.
Like a year's waiting on this list.
We didn't think it was going to do.
Around five weeks later, he began experiencing tremors, lower extremity weakness, confusion, and urinary incontinence.
Pissing himself.
Yeah.
He was soon hospitalized and ventilated.
Then died.
What the fuck?
Jesus Christ.
Sick article.
She couldn't soften the blow at all.
Just nice bedside manner in this article.
Holy shit.
Five weeks.
He was experiencing all these symptoms.
Died.
Things looked to be going pretty well.
And then he was dead.
D-E-A-D.
Please consider supporting us as we go ad-free.
What the fuck?
According to K-H-P-TV.
Post-mortem testing confirmed ratings.
Babfling authorities because the recipient's family had said he had not had any exposure to animals.
Doctors then reviewed the records.
Unless you include his wife.
About the kidney donor, a man in Idaho.
That does sound like a place where this would happen.
Rabies.
Yep.
The man reportedly fell down the upper deck staircase at a middle school band concert.
At first, when you were saying, I was listening like, oh, what happened?
And then...
Gotcha.
Yeah.
But it was a man in Idaho and discovered that the donor risk assessment interview...
I didn't know any of these were a thing.
Question here, he said he had been scratched by a skunk.
Just scratch, not bit?
When asked the family explained that a couple of months before, back in October,
while he was holding a kitten in a shed on his country property, a skunk approached,
showing predatory aggression towards the kitten.
The man fought off the...
animal in the encounter at the report says rendered the skunk unconscious but not before the man
received a shin scratch that bled although he did not think that he had been bitten
what this is fucking crazy have you ever have you ever had an encounter with a skunk yeah well
have you ever had an encounter with a skunk yeah but they don't they don't want to be around you
i've never had an aggressive skunk ever like you just go hey if you make hey get out of here
make any noise they're like sorry yeah they're like so sorry mind if i sorry i just farted well usually
yeah they just go and run off see you're like nerd yeah but no they're not i've never seen
aggressive skunk uh five weeks later a family members smashed on the road he became confused
had difficulty swalling and walking experienced hallucinations and had a stiff neck two days later
he was found unresponsive at home after resumed cardiac arrest although he was resuscitated and
hospitalized. He never regained consciousness. And after several days, was declared brain dead and
removed from life support. What a waste of a kidney. Sorry. That's all right. But this is scary
shit. I can't imagine. It's just like, a skunk is like, eh. He's like, I got you. And you're
like, fuck you. You smell bad. But I can beat the shit. And it's like, fuck you. It's
does that. I didn't realize a scratch could do it. They're dirty.
The report states that several of his organs, including his left kidney, were donated.
Oh, boy.
So the trickle-down's about to happen.
Dude, rabies is fucking crazy.
I didn't know it was that.
Like, there was this fucking nuts.
Oh, dude.
Yeah, no joke.
I mean, I knew it was a bad idea.
I just, everything inside of you is now contaminated.
And it just stays alive.
You put it in something else.
And it's like, fuck you.
I, uh, yeah, I mean, uh, I originally.
He had pictured, you know that meme of the guy that's like, he's got his hands on his hips and he's kind of disappointed?
Yeah, a disappointing guy.
I just pictured like the person that was next on the list to get the kidney.
And this guy got it and he's just like, he's like, unbelievable.
And then later he's like, all right.
Cool.
Worked out.
Anyway, so add that list to, I mean, add that to the list of weird fears.
That's fucking.
I never, that is the wildest story I've heard in a long time.
Just fucking, having a cat, the skunk's like, fuck you.
So first of all, aggressive skunk, weird, in my experience in the world.
Mm-hmm.
And you're holding a cat, and it's like, you know what, I'm a fucking, and then you have to, you, you, you battle a skunk, you beat the shit out of it.
And it touches, it goes, yeah, yeah.
Fuck you, man.
On your shin.
And then all this happens, and then you, then it gets transferred and fucking does it again.
Dude, that skunk got, he went out with style.
Well, I'm guessing.
Wiped out a couple of people.
All right, well, now I feel stupid because now I'm remembering that rabies makes them aggressive.
All right, back to you.
I forgot that's a whole part of rabies.
Having you seen old yelling?
Yes, I know.
I guess forgot for a second.
I just got lost in the fact that skunks don't normally do that.
But now rabies, it affects your brain.
And you just fucking start fighting shit.
Yeah, I hadn't considered that either.
Yeah, I was like, oh, that skunk has been drinking tequila.
Same thing.
He's like, I can fucking take your cat
Same thing as rabies
Leaving a bar just
It's like, yeah, he's leaving a bar fighting
Hey, I want your cat
That's tequila.
Mine
Yeah, that's a tequila talk
You know what, I want your
Your fucking shoes and your cat
And you fucking give to me
I'm gonna scratch your ankles
Fussing
Ow
Come on, man
All right, you're ready to move?
They killed the skunk?
He said he rendered it unconscious.
So that dude's still out there?
I doubt it.
They just didn't want to say what he actually did to it.
Because I'm sure it wasn't nice.
He drank its blood.
Problem solved.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's Idaho.
Wouldn't put that off.
All right, let's get off for some petty beef.
Let's fucking rip it.
Rip it and roar, Zach.
You are now entering the Petty Beef courtroom,
where all sides of some bullshit will be heard and evaluated.
The people are.
are real. The cases are real.
The rulings are final-ish.
This is Petty Beef.
This is from Beechter.
Hello.
Hey, Daddy's, Joe.
What?
Joe Bwine.
Joe Bwine.
And her cum-gousland, hog-bone, and feet-fucking comie uncle Zach.
Holy shit bears.
Hello.
Hello, my name is.
Hello.
I come to you with.
A petty beef that's been on my mind lately.
A lot lately.
There it is.
Not just on my mind.
Yep.
It's there a bunch.
I have a cousin.
Okay.
I'm not going to say her name because it's one of those traditional Norwegian names.
And if Brian reads this, even with the glasses, he might get a brain bleed.
I don't have glasses, so this is going to get extra.
Around November 20 feasts, I walked outside to get ready for school.
Are you in elementary school?
I hope not
He's like
I walked outside to get ready for school
I tied my shoes all by myself
Me and my cousin were
standing outside and I said
It's winter now huh
Since it's so cold the car is basically an ice
Block she responds by telling me
No it's November so it's still fall
If you have ever been to Norway
Or just Scandinavia
Nordics in general
You know the weather does not follow a
fucking calendar
It can literally start snowing in the middle of
me the weather is unpredictable and i'll give a fuck if the calendar says it's fall okay so i present
this argument to the petty beef court do the seasons go by weather or calendar who is right
just definition of petty beef yep just a little thing you want to bring it in here and see
what happens affection well technically it's still fall here uh yeah for another little over a week
Yeah, it is. I don't, I think, Victor, you're not going to like this. But I'm going to get straight to the point here for you. Um, there are sanctions for seasons. Like, there's dates that divide up our calendar into quarters. But it does not mean that weather can't cross over into those other quarters.
Bleed over a little bit. It's not, because it says that it's fall does not mean it cannot snow.
And he brought up the example of snowing in May.
And I don't know, like, how far.
I know it's pretty far north, but I guess I haven't spun the globe in a bit.
It's pretty up there.
To see where we are in comparison.
But there's many, many times growing up during summer doing two-a-day football practices, it would snow in August where I grew up.
Like, that's not, it would happen.
It wouldn't be that it's fucking winter.
Higher elevations.
Yeah, it would just mean that it snowed in the summer, but it's still summer.
Snow doesn't necessarily mean winter.
It just means that snow happened in the summer.
It's a precipitation that is associated with winter, but it's not regulated to just winter.
Yeah, it's divided up into seasons, does not, if the weather happens outside of the season.
Imagine if no snow fell until December 21st.
Yeah.
And it's like, now it is winter.
We call it winter because it's a solstice.
There's a winter solstice and a summer solstice.
And there's parts of the world where it never snow, so is it always summer, Victor?
Is that what's going on?
Yeah.
His parts of places in the world where no seasons happen.
Because we go to Mexico in the winter to get away from the cold and it's not snowing there.
It's 80 degrees and gorgeous.
Yeah.
Well, that's their summer.
Zach, do you have any thoughts on this?
Nope.
Cool.
actually we are as far north as a lot of the European
that's what I was thinking but we have a Gulf Stream and we have some other stuff
that keeps us warmer and bigger penises and mountains and stuff and bigger penises
yeah so that's what what makes that happen okay so I would say I would say if
it snows in May it's not winter it's not winter exactly a winter vibe but yeah
and it's not really welcome it is you know unique yeah it's there's just little
benchmarks to divide it it does not mean that it's because
Because it snowed one time.
And, like, we've had snow.
Again, even here, last year, right?
Was it last year?
Maybe two years ago.
We got, like, I don't know, eight inches of snow at the end of April into May.
And it's like, well, it doesn't mean that it's still winter.
But he's talking about November, so it's really close.
It's like winter's here early.
Dude, it's 50 degrees here today.
No, it's December 11th.
It's supposed to be up to 60 today.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So the weather doesn't care about our calendar.
It's El Nemia, bitches.
But it also depends on where you live.
I feel like where we live, our four seasons are very, it's like a stereotypical four seasons thing.
Like, it starts getting cold November.
It'll snow in October sometimes.
It'll snow in November.
But it doesn't start getting like bitingly cold until like January.
January, February.
Yeah.
So by the standards of winter, winter is going to start December 21st.
and then it's then the temperatures kind of start dipping down so we kind of follow that it'll just be zero for a couple months yeah yeah and then and then march it's like spring you feel like it's starting to shift uh so i feel like we follow depends on where you're at you know we follow that feels like winter feels like spring feels like fall yeah but it could still be summer there to be snow in late february in march yeah absolutely
It's like we're kind of surprised if it doesn't.
Yeah.
So I get what he's saying, but also it's not winter now.
But here's what I will say to this.
Sometimes it depends on how somebody says something.
If you're saying like, well, it's winter now, huh?
No.
It's fall.
You fucking idiot.
It's fall.
Yeah.
So we're missing that.
But the way he backed it up was saying that like the second that there's snow and
things are cold, it's like now it's winter.
It's like, no, it's just a weather pattern outside of the official start.
So, Victor, we love you.
You're wrong.
I want to move on?
Okay.
Hooray, we're not doomed.
Let's roll it.
So you're telling me there's a chance.
Hooray, we aren't doomed.
Yeah!
You were excited about this one.
I haven't seen it, so.
Yeah, it's pretty funny.
A little fun little story.
You fucking do it.
Give us some happiness, some holiday cheer.
Yeah, so, I mean, being a parent and having like holiday stuff,
at schools, there's always something
going on and when you're really
busy, my mom
you know, buy the wrong type of
chips, put the wrong thing in their lunch
whatever, like it just kind of fucking happens
or your mom puts a Coors light in your drinking
lunchbox? Yeah, just
she's in a hurry, grabs beer instead of a Coke
and, you know, that kind
of stuff, it just happens when you're busy
and your parent shit like that.
So this story is funny
because it's relatable and
I can see where this mistake would happen.
It's weird.
I mean, it's goofy, but still.
When 9-year-old Oscar Wilkins, what a fucking sick name, dude.
Oscar Wilkins, come on down.
When he heard he had been given the role of Elvis the elf and the nativity play at his primary school last week, the alliteration left him confused over what to do or what to tell his parents.
Coming home, Oscar's little sister, just says sister, doesn't say little.
Add it.
Oscar's sister.
Could be big, could be tiny.
could be small
could be tiny sister
it could be the exact same size
right could be twins
said neither he nor the school
had been able to communicate
the elf element
to his bemused
okay with the big words
fucking chill out
this is the guy
this is the guy that says like
it's full actually
that wrote this article
Victor Relyne autumn
the boy simply told them
he had been cast as Elvis
so the kid came home
and said hey guys
I'd been casted as Elvis in this play.
Like Christmas Elvis?
Mm-hmm.
Or...
And the parents are probably like,
ah, it's weird, but who knows?
Maybe it's some weird take on Christmas.
I've heard a weirder shit.
Let's go, buddy.
They then sought out the costume
of the Graceland star
and only realized the error
when he stepped out on stage.
But hardly letting it become an error,
Oscar embraced his starring role
and found the whole thing hilarious.
His older sister...
jade smith said the audience couldn't help falling in love with him or with the absurdity of it all we asked him if he was sure he meant elvis and he said yes with a sparkly costume he did not mention anything about an elf she told the southwest news service in england his letter said a sparkly elvis costume it did not say elvis the elf so we all just stupidly thought it was elvis presley jade said the family then took online for a kid's elvis outfit
found one that fitted Oscar perfectly.
So, like, it's so perfect.
How could this be any better?
It's made for this.
We sent him to school in the wrong costume,
and they all saw the funny side,
but did not say it was wrong.
The two performances on Wednesday and Thursday last week
at Pernheim-Weepard!
Primary school in Wales were also in front of his parents,
Stephen and Sarah Wilkins.
Smith only realized the air during the performance of the show.
We found out a mistake when we were watching the show,
and they all walked out.
out of the 12 kids
they were all dressed as elves
except for Oscar
who was elphas
look at this picture
look at the chick in the back
she's like
he's not even dressed right
he's a rebel
he looks good
thanks he does
fits him perfect
yeah look at that hair
like he's owning it
he doesn't look embarrassed at all
step off my blue sweet
that's so good
And, I mean, that costume, I wouldn't say perfect fit, but...
It's a little loose, but he's got to put on some muscle.
Oh, yeah, put on some LBs, like the real Elvis Presley, you know?
That's right, brother.
Must have got that one in the late stages.
Yeah, a little stretched.
That's so fun, like just the school, the parents, everyone rolling with, the humor literally saves everything.
Yeah.
The teachers are like, you're not an elf!
Get off the stage!
Because they easily could have and fucked everything up, and they're just like, this is
ridiculous, you're going on.
Mm-hmm. Love it. Yeah, it's one of those things like, you know,
how, like we are very much those people when it's like, if you can break the ice of
serious and now it's like everyone's involved and it's everyone's in on the joke,
it makes everything so much better. So you go out there, oh my God, what's that kid
wearing an Elvis costume for? Break the ice. Now it's fun. Yeah. I agree. So hats off to
everybody that was involved in that. Let's move off to, hey, look
what I found.
Okay.
Zachie.
The internet is pretty wild.
Depending on your browsing habits, you can either experience something super cool, or go to prison.
Crazy, right?
Let's check it out.
Together, as a couple.
Hey, look what I found.
Yes.
That's awesome.
Well, I'll read this one.
You read the last one.
Okay.
Sent in from our son, Jordan.
Hello, fuckers.
That's a good way to start.
It's me
Jordan
Jordan in the big red shirt
That's me
The guy that brought up
The great chode debate
Oh yeah
And for the record
I still call my gooch a chode
But I digress
I've recently
Just want you to know
Want you to know
That's me
You've recently requested
More email sent in for content
So here the fuck you go
Today
I'd like to introduce you guys
to a little internet game called
A-Golf Hitler.
The rules of the game
are simple. The game is played entirely
on Wikipedia,
with at least two people playing
on separate computers.
Each player gives the other player
a completely random word or topic
to search in Wikipedia.
I'm Casey Kasem.
Casey Kasem.
Using the associated topic
slash word,
hyperlink scattered throughout in the article of your topic or your historical knowledge,
your goal is to reach the Wikipedia page for Adolf Hitler in the fewest amount of clicks.
Example. Search word podcast. You might want to select the hyperlink for YouTube or Bloomberg in the first paragraph.
Okay, it makes sense. Each hyperlink you click, that brings you to a new page that's one stroke.
one step closer to Hitler.
The point of
a golf is to reach the end
in the least amount of strokes
or golf in general, but
so, why was that capitalized?
I don't know. I get you to yell.
Whoever reached Hitler's
page with fewer clicks is the winner.
That's it. That's the game.
It's basically like six degrees of separation
but in a weird, fucked up way.
And I thought it was seven degrees.
Is it six degrees? Or is it seven degrees
of separation? Seven degrees of Kevin Bacon.
Okay, that's what I thought
Okay
Anyway, I once got there in seven clicks
With my original search being toolbox
That's impressive
Try this at home
Or at your office job
Try this at home
Give each other hugs and tugs
And remember, I'm counting on you
Bye
Okay, so there you go
I don't think we, I mean, we can't play it live
Can we?
No, we can't play it live
But we should dive into this
it live
fuck it
we'll do it
live
all right it
but that's a
very fun game
yeah
and we will play
it
we get up
the microphones
but we gotta get
dialed in
and switch a bunch
of shit around
I used to want
15 minutes
he's going
reading stuff
and figuring out
yeah
crabs
lobster
oh YouTube
click
all right
let's move off
and hear
from some of the
children
oh Zach
fuck
oh my
good
All right, let's hear what you guys think.
Really? You want to talk to me?
Wow, that's cool.
As you guys know, once that radio voice finds its way into the show, it's hard to let it go.
One thing is funny, though, in that last thing, you had it, and it was slowly coming
off, and then it was right into your regular voice, and I was listening to the transition, slowly.
And then you went back up to it again.
I couldn't. It's hard to keep it out.
Suppressing the radio voice.
Suppression.
More difficult than still.
Stopping heroin.
More powerful than a locomotive.
A motive locus.
A motive locus. What's the motive?
What's the motive? What's the motive? What's the locove?
Back to you.
In the studio, Jan.
Brian, you want the first one?
Or the second one?
Which one's shorter? I'll take the second one.
Okay. Our first email coming in from our son, Mike, who writes,
esteemed fathers and uncie Zach.
Hello.
Your can you don't Mike writing in.
Which he means your kid, Mike.
2025 has been a dog shit year.
We had to say goodbye to our dog Zoe in June after 14 years with her.
On the short list of the worst experiences of my life, side note, no minivan pickup for pups, just a hatchback Subaru.
One, real quick, one, it's weird, losing a pet's fucking sucks.
But I do remember a moment that I remember thinking like, oh, that's kind of a good thing.
not good thing that the dog died but he said dog shit year and I was thinking when my kids were they wanted to go play out in the backyard and I was thinking oh hang on guys I need to go pick up the poop and I didn't have to it was like this moment of like oh that's this is a really weird moment right now because I usually hate going out and picking up dog poop yeah I was like I don't have to do it yeah and it was very weird feeling rolling your rolling your clothes and sticky paper having it
in-house clothes versus go-to-work clothes in?
We had, our dog was hypologenic, so she didn't shed.
I'm sorry for your loss.
I love you.
Back to you, Brian.
When we had to move from, when we, then we had, uh, the move from hell.
What's that?
The very next weekend moving from San Diego to our new house in north Las Vegas.
Now, so you can't say Las Vegas.
Expect me.
not to tell you it's Las Vegas.
Have you ever been?
It's beautiful this time of year.
Beautiful, Las Vegas.
The amount of pool attractions.
Have you ever been on the roller coaster that circles New York, New York?
And beautiful downtown Henderson, Los Angeles.
Have you been to the 17 McDonald's and Henderson?
Try their new Big Mac.
It came out 60 years ago
They haven't changed the thing
The sign's the same
The food's the same
Fuck, the buns are the same
To North Las Vegas
Another story for another time
But also on the short list
Of worst experiences of my life
Then I got fired in July
The first time in a 23 years
Since I graduated high school
That I have been unemployed
Stop me if you've heard this before
But on the short list
of worst experiences of my life
super cool timing after just buying a new house
and the job market is worse than a rotten sled
nice pullback super duper yeah
anyway
I'm listening to the back catalog now
and the terribleness
Blyin and Joe each had to deal with early on
and the ability to keep going with the podcast silliness
is the best example that the shit times won't last forever
if we don't let them
so I felt like sending along my super long
winded best effort at a sincere
thank you. I've been a kid since the beginning
and never been happier
with my choice of dads and uncle.
Is uncle working?
Hello.
He spelled it funny, that's why.
You and Q, L.E. Uncle.
Because Zach. You get it. It works.
Wishing a happy holiday season
and the best 2026 possible
to each of you and yours
and to all of the gaggle. Love
Mike. P.S.
Mike. Uncle Zach.
