apparently there's this new movie with Eddie Murphy on Netflix that I haven't seen yet the Candy Land or whatever yeah and someone said it's a whole new meeting to The 12 Days of Christmas so I'm sure they're mocking the fact that there are lots of birds I'm sure my daughter has this like unnatural fear of birds McKenzie the one that moved out west coast I brought her to this like bird experience when when they were little she like the look of panic on her face when she looked over and she's like Bob I told you I don't like birds I'm like oh I didn't know now which one's which one's the bird

minutes wow I did I I gave myself parameters no I just had written a blog post about this full year and just all the stuff that we did and it was just kind of retrospective and I was like what kind of podcaster am I if I'm not going to do a podcast on it right right the vog got to talk about the talk bring everybody into my misery in my real life you can choose to listen to it or not we welcome you for it I wonder what kind of monologue I would have just be cursing everybody out for I don't even know if that would make any sense to anybody but you so if you like L rolling around in there yeah if you like watching everything roll downhill if you too want to relive a Cess pool of reals uh oh yeah your life has changed for the better since I started including you in my stupid uh sending of reals it's bad do you do you have that friend that communicates via only sending you reals and Tik toks and hi I'm the problem it's me 100% a lot of them are very funny though so I do appreciate them well I I check so I have a list of individuals and if it applies to every like I've got a lot of car guy stuff so I send that to my car guy friends and then there's the it group and then the ones that used to work retail and then um the the female friends so they wouldn't find like the poop jokes and the car jokes maybe but uh like the moms and how stupid men are and how things go in one year and out the other and I think it's hilarious but the ladies that I send them to find them hilarious there you go so you you have findable m still still single weird I just admitted that everything goes in one ear and out the other and I'm so single yeah that's so crazy so weird I weird Nate says this holiday season feels different a lot of ups and downs especially if you're out here hustling well you found yourself at the right table our friend I don't know anybody that moves and shakes more than the two of the people that you're watching right now out there and cated lots of shakes yeah that's gonna happen uh oh that's not good this is not good you're fueled for the day at least 20 minutes I've got a board meeting coming up at 8:30 so we're going to have to hustle this up just a little bit but I wanted everybody to see you talk to you you've got the spectacle of trees going on you uh might be thrown out of Kanas for der elction of Duty so now you are here I'm a bad nice person doing that Duty I guess so uh spectacular the trees is um a raffle you pay $10 per ticket and you get to win everything hopefully um that belongs to a tree and under a tree and sometimes there's gift cards and and there I want to say for the there's gift card s a TV there's all sorts of stuff under the tree but they are on display under the Kanas tree yeah uh I want to say there's a couple others as well there's below the belt I know there's a maron's Mills Library I think that there's one other one but they are all in the guire art Barn which is on South Street and hyanis and they do that raffle on the 16th I know those trees have been there for like two weeks they do it every single year they're absolutely beautiful and you buy that ticket it goes to the nonprofit in which you put your ticket in and then you win everything under the tree when they draw it so there are multiple chances for you to win lots of goodies wouldn't that be nice one swoop to get all your Christmas shopping done and you helped a nonprofit like that would be amazing in theory if I won that that's what I'm saying I never win anything though I'm one of those people that throw my hat in the ring and never ready you've won all of our hearts thanks Greg a but it's like our girlfriend Bri right here who will walk five seconds into a chamber meeting just drop her card in there and then win she wins every single time I'm like is mine even in there one day I was at a never win I I was uh having dinner was at a bar they were doing a beer promo like Bud Light or whatever and they raffled off uh Red Sox tickets yeah so I won Red Sox tickets I brought a my buddy Phil where were the tickets there were two tickets way back my seat the ticket I took was behind a steel column yeah I'm like this is why these

of Christmas parties this season or get dragged to Christmas parties that are not yours I mean I like parties we're fun unless I'm I'm already tired and I'm out of coffee and I'm like oh I fell asleep I'm sorry I slept to the party okay says you could find a girl at a game at what game this one that's coming up with Taylor Swift possibly being it's too cold I no if what grown woman in her 30s or 40s wants to stand out in the cold and just in case she might get a glimpse of a 34-year-old you'd be surprised I okay well she's not my type what is your type Greg okay other than with a pulse yes I fig like that joke's com I mean that's really one of my buddies is watching that that is not enticing to women if you're just asking for some of with the pulse I I have very strict yet loose somebody said uh I mean that is the pickiest fairest thing whatever but you're still not going to find it whatever I I don't know that's what it comes down to what would the ideal Greg mate look like uh can't have cats because I'm allergic okay believes in uh actual monogamy not other variables as as we okay gotcha yep um too old for swing sets I had an incident fairly recently do tell at a party it was weird how was your what kind of party it was it was weird we we djed for an event I'm not going to even incriminate say where or what or whatever but a woman came over and put her arm on my husband's arm while staring at me yep here while staring at me and was like do you do you two sleep together and I was like okay meanwhile looking at my husband like a side of beef yeah cuz we're married but on the way out a gentleman was giving my husband a tip while looking at me asking if we were together because he saw a little PDA completely unrelated I didn't know what party we were at I I don't know I
