Hello, I'm Carriad. I'm Sarah. And we are the Weirdo's Book Club podcast. We are doing a very special live show as part of the London Podcast Festival. The date is Thursday, 11th of September. The time is 7pm and our special guest is the brilliant Alan Davies. Tickets from kingsplace.com. Single ladies, it's coming to London.

True on Saturday, the 13th of September. At the London Podcast Festival. The rumours are true. Saturday the 13th of September. At King's Place. Oh, that sounds like a date to me, Harriet. This little bit in between Christmas and New Year, the holiday taint. I keep calling it the Christmas perinium.

Turns out, not a word. Not a word. It's perineum, would you believe? It's perineum. The area between the anus and the genitals. Often known as the festive perineum, because of this time, because you're like, where are we? What day is it? It's a bit of fun, but if you don't know,

how to successfully utilize this bit, bit pointless. Absolutely. We're not bringing you anything particularly helpful for utilising this bit sensibly. What we're offering instead is games. I think that's very helpful. I think it is too. I'm just saying it's not like we're like, clean out the shed and why not get into your, you know, why not have a run?

No one can do that. No, exactly. No. So what we're offering is it's games, games for the whole family, games that you don't have to just play in this time of the year. You can take them forth into the, into the, into the rest of your life. But, um, sometimes everyone will be hanging around. You've watched all the teller you can. You've eaten everything. And someone says, should we play a game? And someone else says, uh, yes. And maybe, and then you force it on them anyway. And then you force it on them

anyway. Or someone says like, oh, I think there's like, scrabble in the attic or something. And you're like, no, no, no. I'm not even going to start because we've got to do our adult things first, which I I think it will just be, I had Christmas. I had Christmas. We had Christmas. And well done us both. Merry Christmas, one and all. My adult thing is merely actually just a recommendation for everyone.

So I'm backsliding in a suggestion for the taint. At this time of year, may I suggest a little eBay browse for any of your favorite, you know, brands and bits and things because this is where... Or depop, perhaps. shop, spock, all a number of other things are available. Just have a look on there for unwanted presence, because this is the point where everyone's like, why was I given this incredibly expensive thing I absolutely hate?

And then people whack it on eBay at this point, and now is the time to have a lovely little browse. My go-to check is Smythes, which is a very expensive, stationary brand, which you can't afford the things in the shop, but you can afford them off eBay when their unwanted Christmas presents, they're mostly monogrammed.

Monogram. Someone else I was going to say. So, I bought like a travel wallet from, I can't remember one of those really expensive brands. And it was like a half price. I was like, this is amazing. And it said like, it obviously said monogrammed, but at the time, this was like seven years ago,

I didn't know what monogrammed meant. Right. And I was like, I guess it's that pattern. And then when it arrived, it had like JLL on it, but also it had been badly monogrammed. So it wasn't even that the person didn't want it, is it they got it and the monogramming had gone wrong.

So it was like JL, and the L was like in a diagonal sort of dripping off the thing. Oh. I used it for a long time, but I wouldn't do that now. Sure, which is why it's a little bit of a troll because you're trying then to match up your own initials with what's out there.

I'm just saying, get out there. And also, if you've got some gifts that you've received that are still in the box that you're like, oh my God, I hate it. Listen, if this year has taught anything, it is simply have nothing that holds you back. If you don't like it, let's get it. Less off it goes.

So that's my taint adult thing and suggestion. Right. In the words of sort, Treble a game. It's how he says it. Trable a game. I've never watched any songs. Obviously, I'm a scared, scaredy cat.

But I understand the concept. He likes to play games with you. They're not good games. We won't be suggesting his games because they are like really bad. But like... Those be bad games. Yes. But the idea is that, like, yeah, there's been a time at Christmas

when someone says like, should we play a game? And you're like, and everyone's like, yeah, or no. But let's say they say, yeah, let's play a game. And then you say, oh, I don't actually know any games. I just thought it would be nice to play a game. And then you're like, well, well, why did you suggest that now? What we're doing now? There's a window of time, isn't there?

It's like when you're wandering around the big city, say, and you've got a group of friends or family have come down or whatever. And everyone's like, oh, should we go on to have a drink somewhere else? or what? Should we go home or should we do something else? And there's like a window of time for it's like, and now I'm bored. Someone has to make a decision otherwise. Exactly.

You know what? I'm going to go. Exactly. And this is the game thing. You know what? I'm actually going to go and stare at some more roast potatoes and then eat five. Yeah, you're like, oh, fuck it. Elf is on.

I'm not bothering with this. So you've got to be, if you're, if the mood has taken you to be like, I think I want to play a game, you need to come with at least an option, maybe two ideally to throw into the mix, you know, because otherwise it's just like, should we go somewhere else? Everyone's like, yeah, where, and you're like, I don't know where. Like, that's very unhelpful. So, well, so I'm already excited.

Please. Well, I've got two, I've got more than two, but I've got two, like, quick sort of downloady on your phone. Lovely, lovely, lovely. I love, there's, you know, like, if you know that kind of like a game where you have to put, like a, you have to. You mean you're forced to put a name of a celebrity on a post-it note and stick on your head. Oh, absolutely forced. A lot of fun, but, like, quite a basic game. there's one called a heads up on your phone,

which isn't just guessing people, if I remember rightly, it's like a variety of different things, but the person who's trying to describe it, when you're trying to describe the thing, basically someone's got something on their head. It's not always a person. And you have to like,

and everyone else is screaming out. And then when you get it right or you pass, you just sort of like nod your head down. Like you do it by movement and it's quite fun. And that's quite, and I'd say gateway game just to see, and I think you've quite helpful to kind of go in with a light, quick game.

Lovely ideas, Stevie. Before you go in with, you know, your big, your world building parlor game. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because often, one of the most frustrating things is when you go in with your world building parlor game, half the people are into it, the other half is sort of like, oh,

and you're like, oh, well, if you didn't want to play a proper game, you shouldn't have come to the games master. Whereas with who's on your head, you can gauge how competitive people are or if I may the other download app which is Linky which I'll go into it in like a second to a free download you can get you can gauge how competitive people are

and how much sort of mediating people are going to have to do so the Linky is great because Linky is like I really like Linky and my family because we have haven't we've never actually downloaded the actual game all we've done is sat around and tried to think of and everyone's tried to think of a Linky for everyone else to do.

And a linking thing is when you have four things and the answer is going to be one word that links all those four things. So I've got an example here. We can just play a live link here. Here we go. Number one, what is the name for a network of interconnecting rabbit boroughs?

Warren! Warren! You keep it in your head. Yeah, I'm just... I'm just... I know, yeah. We're live playing some identifying problems. No, it's very good. So you think... You say, well, it could be Warren. So you have any little head. And I'm okay, so, sorry, don't shout it out.

Okay, Warren, Warren, I think. Warren in your head, Warren. Right. And because you're going to get three more things, and the answer should be, if Warren is correct, Warren again. If not, then you've got to think of another linkie. So number two, which European civilization was preeminent between 27 BC and 476 AD? Some thoughts.

Three, the popular kids' cards game involving subject. like cars, football clubs and monsters. And then number four, so also at any point, if you think you know you shout Linky. Okay, but I'm going to play politely and let everybody play along at home. And then the fourth one is usually the most simple one to get. The doorway to heaven is known as the pearly...

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, linky, linky, linky. Yes. Okay, so I think the link between these four answers is billionaires. Correct. Now, so that is, when you download Linky on your phone, you get like a number of these, and then you can also play in groups, and it's a lot of fun. Or you can do what my family do, which is incredibly much more simple than that, because the thing is that my brain and my mum's brain, we cannot play Linky.

Like, we cannot. So it's actually very fun to try to come up with the form. or my mum being like, okay, knife, steak knife, cow. Like, no. You make your own linky up. Make your own linky up. But then sometimes you start and then you're like, oh no, that's not one. I've just got it right. A lot of fun.

But also you can like make your own up on like pieces of paper and stuff. I will say about making it up is that it is, listen, if that's what you love, listen, live your truth. Very fun. but I will say about making these sort of things up because this is linky is it's a layman's um I mean it's a more it's a fun only connect basically yes and that's why you did a that's why you did only connect the nobody panic quiz and I didn't on I didn't get a single one I quietly was spiraling so if your brain doesn't work like that then that's that's what I mean like

a little sort of you know you can use them do always do some sort of practice round yeah and then if someone is like I literally cannot do that. The thing about Linky is like and this is if you know Linky you're like yeah yeah yeah next one. Of course Linky's great. But if you're new to Linky you're thinking I cannot understand this at all. You on it and we've described it. It's made it slightly confusing.

But like it is sorry. No, no, no, no, not you. It's just like it is hard to it's with both. It's hard to explain. But honestly, after it switches in your brain, you're like, oh yeah, obviously. I get it. I completely get it. It's a jolly good game.

It comes in a box, but you can also just get the free one on your. telephone or if you want to be Stevie's family and really go for it you can attempt your own linkies and also as well if in doubt someone's got uno somewhere and that is always a vanger and that no everyone's brain can wrap around uno you know I love it I actually find it it very confusing really oh look so we've got a linky brain and then you've got an unno brain yeah so I'm saying like ain't nobody ain't nobody right ain't nobody wrong what are your sort go to quick, simple games before we go into like, you know, Mafia.

Sure, sure, sure. Yeah, I was just going to say about, God bless you and do it if you're like, I'm going to invent the games for everyone. Definitely do it. It will, I suspect, be, and again, you've got time on your hands? Why not spend the day doing it?

It will be, I suspect, five hours work on your part, seven minutes work on the rest of your family. And then it might not even work. It might not even work. Then you'll think, oh, God, I've fucked it. I've done that. Oh, my God, I've done that in completely the wrong place. Then they'll be like, and then they'll be like,

well that was good and then then you know only do made up games if they're so simple like for example if I may the great perinean bakeoff

oh lovely makes a little dessert and then you've got like I had a grandma to judge it a lot of fun me and my partner did do a thing and then now last year when Christmas was cancelled

over Zoom me and my family or did it where we do like the great new year's quiz where everyone comes with like five questions And actually we don't do general knowledge. We do things to do with the family. So it's like one of the questions last year was like, how many windows is in my parents' house to the nearest window?

Like things like that. Perfect. Or like, what year did me and your father go on our first date? Lovely. A bit of fun. Bit of fun. Making up things like that, fine. Making up an actual game that exists.

Like, I've made up monopoly. I'm going to play it too much. I have in the past done mastermind for the group. Great. In which people put in. their specialist subject. So great. And then you came up with questions based on the special subject. So 10 specialist subject questions over the course of the two minutes or minute that you're allowed in Mastermind, then a general knowledge round. It was from the looks of people, and I like

played the music in the background and did all the questions. It was much more stressful than I think it was fun. Right. Just sharing that with the group. Everyone took it very seriously and because it was very intense. I've also done. eggnog heads, which is you get in teams, you basically play eggheads or any form of quiz, and then whether you win or lose, I just kept making people shot eggnog options. Okay, so this one involves pen and paper, but I bet you got some paper in the back of a, you know, you've got a bit of back of cracker, that'll do it, pens, you come on, someone's got a pen.

Homemade, Who's in the bag? So Who's in the bag is a game, it's a... Is it? Yeah, who's in the bag is, you can buy Who's in the bag. I'm joking just because we're doing games and you think this is the bag is it I'm sorry What? Who's in the bag?

I thought it was that you put someone in a bag And then I just mean you can buy it from a shop Yes So who's in the bag You got a big bag And you've got little cards in there With famous people on You've obviously bringing them out at speed

Against the clock 30 seconds Describing the person to your team You all understand who's in the bag Homemade who's in the bag Everybody in the group puts in depending on how many people there are if you're playing, maybe 10 or five, famous people or people that we all know. Anti-Sally.

Anti-Sally, you know, and it is fun if you've like, things have come up at the Christmas dinner table, things that you've been discussing, you know, references to stuff that's happened, you know, a thing, like it's nice to put in group stuff. So you play in two teams, you start the clock, you get 30 seconds. I do recommend 30 seconds because a minute feels too long and people get, 30 seconds needs the element of adrenaline of people doing it quite badly. obviously you can't say the name, otherwise you just describe it as is. So that is classic version. You just, you play that round. Then you can, if you wish, end. Or,

oh, an very important thing, uh, when you're playing, say I'm like, um, he, he robbed from the rich and he gave to the poor and he- Robin Hood! A little, fantastic, uh, fantastic. But say that I, um, okay, don't get this one, okay? Okay, sorry. No, no, no, that's fine. You were really good at playing. Thanks. Very big ears and he's a rodent, but he, and he wears little gloves and little shorts and he is um he's he's made up by a he's uh he's made up by disney and he's and he's famous is this and and you're like ah i don't know roger the rat and and the other team are like you fucking idiot so what you mustn't do is when your timer ends shout it was mickey mouse you just have to be like we didn't get that one you fold it you put it back in the bag

okay very good which means that the next round the next team pick that one out and they're like the one Stevie couldn't get. Everyone's like, Mickey Mouse, bang. Oh shit. Now we're playing competitive who's in the bag. Okay. So at the end of that, all of the piece... Adding in an element of failure.

You must. You must. Adding in an element of failure and how you can use that for your own success. Always. So back at the end of the round, what a nice time we've had, back in the pieces go.

Okay? Back into the back. And you're like, but we've seen them all. We can't just play again. Oh, contrary. Now we go again in our two teams, but this time we can only say one word. This is great.

So now you have to really take it seriously because you've heard them all now. Now you have to really take it seriously and I might be like, I can't say Mickey Mouse, but I can be like, rat. So now they keep going back in the hat and now when it gets to your turn you start unfolding them

and seeing what people had got stuck on and how they couldn't do it and how they had to describe different things, different people. So it's very fun. And then if you really want to keep going, you can progress yourself to a charade. Hand gesture.

A charade, but no speaking. Okay. A noise. That's good. An impression. This is great. So it can do. So it's nice to be like, okay, and now we go back in again.

And I think when I played with people in the past who didn't know there was going to be more rounds, when they're like, oh, that was fun. And the paper goes out again. And I'm like, and now we begin again. And everyone's like, what? What? And it is nice because now you've got a real, it's basically a real group mentality now because now as a group, we've got all this backstory.

Okay. Guess the Olympic season. sport. Your favourite. My favourite, you've got to like the Olympics. I, if this is the one I think it is, you and Liz used to do this a lot, didn't you? Yeah. Yeah, I, just, just for anyone out there who's, he listens and goes, that sounds so fun.

They try and do it and they can't and they get really hot and sweaty and they don't like it. And then they leave the room because they feel stupid. You're okay. You're not alone. But it also is so fun for, I can see it's so fun for people that are confident with it. Yeah. You can, you can, listen, we're going to try it again, Stevie. Why?

We're going to, what, do you mean why? Oh, the game? I thought he meant to try that bit again and don't say that. I was like, no, I think it's actually quite relatable. No, 100% it is, I'm saying. Like, if you hate the idea of like doing impressions and bits and things and you don't like the Olympics, obviously don't play this one. Yes.

But if you're like, yeah, we all love the Olympics or you can also play this as movies. Basically, it's not about just like running around the living room, like doing the hurdles. It's about doing one very, like, tiny moment. from the Olympics. So if you were doing the gymnastics, you might do like the moment where they put their chalk on their hands and they like, you know, get ready to jump onto the bars. Or you could be the man who puts the gymnast up and then pulls the mat away. You know, like it's about, it's about finding these like very small like little moments. Also, you can just be like on the rings when they've got their arms out on either side and then they're like, their veins on their neck are coming

out. You know, you can also do movies, just like tiny little moments from movies. movies, obviously ones that everybody knows or everybody, you know. So it's about, but again, it's, it's a niche one and you don't have to have it. I'm merely sharing with it you because it's in my... I like it a lot. I think it's in my arsenal. You can do winter or summer. It is so funny, especially when someone does one that's like, it's not even recognizable what they're doing. So you can't even tie it to the sport.

So you're like, you've just stood up. That's not one. Yeah. Somebody got up and just, um, just closed their eyes and then jumped, jumped up and down. but actually hit their head on the scene and everyone and then everyone was like I mean they didn't mean to do that part

and then like they just kept doing it it was like they were taking it so seriously and everyone was like what are you and they turned out to be the small jump before the bigger jump at the beginning of the diving board but like it was so specific and dumb and this isn't about being like

who's the best actor it's just about being like and who's like does the best impression of the bicycle it's just like here's a thing I think is really silly and here it is. But listen, if impressions and shit and acting in charades and all of this is like, that's my hell, I hate it. You don't have to do it. You simply don't have to do it.

So it's time, can you do intense music? Haunting psychological trauma music. Okay. Boom. Boom. It's like a heartbeat. That's real nice.

It's time to discuss Mafia. Or if I'm a werewolf, same game. Or somebody's. calls it like who's the baddie in the town or something yeah that's actually a very good way putting it is I think when I've tried to explain mafia to people they've been like oh god it sounds so overwhelming and then when you and also as well I played the werewolf version with my family for the first time uh last Christmas we were together so 2019 and I could see in their eyes they were like oh this seems like very performancey and very like actory and I and then we played

it and it was like they just didn't want to stop playing it they're like yeah no it's actually not because you don't have to, you know, like, when, you know, when you go to do, like, a murder mystery. Yeah. And, you know, I imagine you very much enjoy that. I always don't really enjoy playing murder mysteries. I love everything around it, but I don't like it because it's like, oh, God, I've got to do an accent. I've got to be a character. I just want to, like, have fun rather than, like, now I'm acting.

And there's always, like, a few people who are incredible at it. And you're like, yes, very good. Whereas Mafia, you don't have to actually do any acting. No. It's just about, it's actually. just about being yourself and chatting and it's it's i love it testa please please well my thing would be to say weigh up whether this group really want to play mafia like are people already having a very nice time do you need to be playing an intense lying game do how many people in the room know

mafia and either i would say it needs to be either no one in which or ideally one of you need to know it um or like a solid sort of 70 percent it would be my what do you think so But when you do werewolf, people grasp the concept much quicker. Okay, well, so we'll call it werewolf. Because then it's just like, you're just trying to basically, out of the group of people, essentially, it's a very easy objective, one of you or two of you, depending on how many are in the group, are going to be werewolves.

And everyone else has to guess who is the werewolf before the werewolf kills everybody. That's basically the game, isn't it? Whereas with Mafia, you've got more, my only thing about it is if you're doing an intro version is you've got like all different types of characters which is that's that's your add-ons but with Weir-of it's so distilled down the purest.

Yeah, okay. So with Werewolf if you're like, yeah, please tell us what it is for God's sake. So you've got a group of however many people you need one person who is the narrator. They have to know what Werewolf is. They have to know what Werewolf is. You need one narrator. You have a group of people somebody will be chosen or two people,

how many people you've got, will be chosen as the werewolf in a sort of eyes closed. If you get a tap on your hand, you're the werewolf. And then it's a sort of eyes closed. The werewolves open their eyes. The werewolves acknowledge each other. The werewolves decide who to kill in the night.

And then it's open the eyes. Everyone in the room has to discuss who they think the werewolf is based on who they've killed, based on who's acting suspiciously, based on all this stuff. And this is why I say, Does the group definitely want to play a werewolf? Because it involves a lot of lying.

It does. And also what's nice about it and what I really enjoyed about it when I played it with my family was that I could see that when it was like, okay, Gina's dead. Let's discuss who killed her. There was at that moment of like,

oh, is this the game? Like, what do you mean? Let's discuss who killed her? I don't know. And so my dad was like, I don't know. Like, Mom, Margie, you did it. And then to sort of demonstrate that this wasn't really a game.

And then mom was like, no, I didn't. And then I was like, well, you've never spoke to me to me like that before. So now I've really do thing you did. And suddenly we were in. We were in. It was so nice because it was like, you don't, the first time I ever played it, I was a bit like, God, how is this going to sustain anything?

And then actually, the moment anyone says anything, you're in. And it's so, it's so fun. And also you can play, like, as many rounds as you're like, you can also start, we did like a practice round. So people could ask me questions throughout it being like, oh, so what do I do here? Or like, what do, you can also as well, you can buy Whirlwolf, good werewolf, the party game, a game. a game of lying bluffing and deceit

and you can follow it with the cards and everyone gets to play and you don't need a narrator. Oh, lovely. All the narrator has to do is be like, it's night time, well, if open your eyes, it's just sort of guiding people. But what's really funny is you get to see people, you get to see your own family backstabbing each other.

It's a lot of fun. The civilians win when there are more civilians than werewolves, whereas the werewolves win when there are more warwolves than civilians. So basically the balance has to always be on the civilian side in order to keep playing. Just to help people with the rules, every night of the round and we're saying night as in

people just close their eyes that's the end of the round the werewolves to do someone to die but then everyone in the following day discusses it in the town to be like well who's the killer and then they choose a person to unanimously send to jail

so they might have sent a werewolf to jail but they also might just send another civilian who was bad at lying and bad at or not lying who looked suspicious there's those different ways that you can play it but like yeah that's like the most sort of simple one absolutely

we are calming to the end, I want to tell you very quickly about something called smack cup. This is just for the future. I doubt this is happening in the Christmas taint, but should anyone suggest beer pong, after you have finished, you have tediumed out beer pong, then you can play another game called smack cup, which needs a large table and enough space that things will get wet. So ideally outside or the garage, if you've got a garage, or somewhere that things can get smashed about. You put all those red solo cups in the middle of the table with a little bit of beer in them and all together in a group. And then everybody stands around the circle and one person on one side has a ping pong ball and one person on the other has a ping pong ball.

And they also in front of them have an empty solo cup. We begin. We place each person with the ping pong ball on either side of the table. We place the cup in front of us. Then we have to bounce our ping pong ball onto the table and into the cup. Got it. Maybe that happens. first go congratulations maybe it takes you 20 goes to bounce and get it in then once you've got it in

successfully you pass it to your right so now the cups are moving round the table okay so far so fun so far so fun except now what's going to happen is that eventually one of the cups will catch the other cup up i don't know what that means so the caps are like going so you're like say we're going around the table and it's like i'm doing one person's doing incredibly well i'm it and this table everyone's doing it really well oh yeah and then they need to pass it but someone's already got a cup and because they're still trying to get theirs in so round at the other end the table this person's like oh my god I can't do it I can't do it I can't do it I can't do it so now once uh you finish your you you like the person on their left who's like it's about

they do it successfully and the other person's like still can't get theirs in what does this person do they smack their cup away and now the person with the ping pong ball's like I've got no cup now what am I supposed to do where are they going to get a cup for from the middle of the table. How are they going to get an empty cup? Oh, they have to drink what's in the cup. So now they have to drink what's in the cup in order to begin the game again.

But now what happens to up the jeopardy is that people can pass their cup, not just like once around the circle, but to anywhere in the circle, which means if like say you're in a real pickle, Stevie, and you're like, I can't do mine, the person on one side of you keeps finishing theirs, smacking your cup away,

passing it to the other person, then they do it and then they pass it back round to the other side of you. Yeah, so you gang up on you and you're drinking beer all over the place and smacking cups left right and centre. It doesn't sound fun in the audio. It does sound fun. In the audio version. But let me tell you, it's the purest shot of adrenaline I've ever experienced.

Absolutely. And I truly love a smack cup. Another nice thing you can do is it's not so much a game. Very, very simple. You know the idea of writing in news resolution? And it's like, oh, in that period of time, I'm always like, oh, maybe I should sit down and write mine. And I was like, I don't know what, I don't know what to do.

One year, we all wrote news resolutions what we thought would be helpful for the other person. Oh, that's lovely. So then you get to kind of get an idea of what, you don't have to take them, but it's quite a nice look at like, you get another perspective of what maybe you're, because everyone was like, to me, everyone was like, stop, you need to slow down. And all my news resolutions were like, speed up, you lazy bitch. So it's like often it can be a better New Year's resolution when someone else who knows you very well and loves you and cares about you right to yours, yeah. So that might be nice thing to think about now.

Really lovely. That's a really lovely idea. I did a group New Year's once where everyone, you had to just make up a resolution, put it in the middle and then people pick them out of the hat. But that was dreadful because people have obviously put in what they secretly wanted. And people got out obviously mine that was like,

do the splits. And everyone was like, I'm not fucking doing that. And other people's were like, you know, improve at, you know, improve at German. And then I was like, I'm like, I ain't, I ain't going to improve. Yeah, it's not attached to you at all. Yeah. So they can't just be a random, they can't be a random thing. But to actually like write everybody, that is lovely to be like, everyone's personal resolution for you.

Oh, really no. Really nice. Let's Brow's home. And by Brough's home, I mean, we're still in the perineum, but maybe we're having some more fun. Hope you have in a nice time. Go and have another roast potato. See if your family want to, or your friends or whoever you're with. Wonderly, who's in the bag, which was the real hero game of this episode.

And then, right news, it's a little afterthought when everyone's had too much nog. Yeah, lovely. I hope that was helpful. Hope you had a lovely Christmas. Hope you're gearing up for a nice new year. Or hope it's as nice as POS under the sucks, as Stevie has been saying to me recently. Oh, yes, very much so. Very much so.

And I'm trying to shorten that, but I couldn't. Merry Christmas, one and all. Merry Christmas. See you next week. See you next year, lull. See you next year! Oh my God.
