Then you get to hear the whole thing next week. But Erica has been asking for what lately? I wanted a fart button. A fart button. Okay. I'm going to give you a choice. One through eight. Pick one through eight. There are eight farts on there? Eight. I got eight. Pick one through eight. I feel like that's like four too many farts. You can't pick number seven though. Number seven is way too long. Don't pick seven. Number two.

We got to figure out the new nickname for Lindsay or one that I like. But we're at your house. So thank you for having us here for your Christmas special. This is a lot of fun already.

I know you guys are all getting ready for probably the in-laws and stuff. I know like that can be scary. So like I said, make that drink a little extra strong. Wait, schnapps? Wait, the Kalula? The Kalula? Did I say it wrong? said Kalula. Kalula. Is that right? Kalula. Whatever. I want to see him go to Hawaii one At least I get Carolina's name right. ⁓ we go. Okay, burned. Yes. Anyways, I love you guys. You get my name right now too. For the most part.

But if I ever say your name without the pterodactyl, I'm 50-50. But if I say it with pterodactyl, I get it right all the time. Or you know what? You know what though? 60 % of the time.

⁓ Eric, this is great. Yeah. Yeah, that's gonna be a lot of fun, but that's next week. That's next week We gotta get to today's episode and I think we should catch up first one We already talked about we're here with you, but Tara you and I wrote the Santa shuffle a couple weeks my god, see I can't talk Santa. That's why we're not drinking the Santa shuffle couple weeks ago You dressed up as us. Well, you did not dress up as Santa actually. No, I don't really know was just festive you were fast. I had on like a green

skirt that I got from like Coles, think, and had my Santa, the demented Santa, which is on Elm Street. I bought a T-shirt. Well, actually, every year I buy their shirts. So I had on a shirt and just had fun. I ran with Bridget and her baby, Jameson. Yeah. And she did awesome. I was like, can I run with you? It's like, as long as you're not going to get an FKT with the stroller. I was like, I don't want to go fast. So it was fun. I love that event. It's one of my favorite races. This is a cool. was my first time watching. Remember, John talked about this.

It's like imagine hundreds or Andy. Andy did too when he came on at the New report show hundreds and hundreds of people running down Elm Street dressed in Santa outfits. The pictures Millennium had a drone shot. Did you see the drone shot? Yeah, that was epic. I just felt like I definitely missed out even though was there. I definitely missed out, but I was there getting the content for other stuff. You were helping with some content. We were getting content. Yeah, but these two here.

raced in total other areas. You were in Millinocket. What did you do the other week and you were dressed as a reindeer? ⁓ did I see one piece of content from that? He has not been on social media since I literally put it up right before I left. spent like three weeks. It happened on Saturday, which, but I did this really fun. It was a fat ass ultra. So it was like it was free and it was just a bunch of people gathering to be freezing cold and eat snacks in the woods, basically.

And we had an absolute blast. ⁓ It was a four and a half mile loop. And yes, I dressed as a reindeer, but I also was with Sheila and Dan King. And we together were very festive. We had Santa and an elf and like Rudolph. So we we were we were very warm in those onesies. And I have no regrets with that either. It was a blast. But you have to check the socials. You need to put it up. You need to remind everyone what's a fat ass ultra free. It's free. Yep.

Just, hey, we're gonna be here. Come hang out. Is it because fat asses are lazy and they just like free stuff? Whoa. take, hot take. 2026 hot That could be true, but why pay to race when you can race for free? Well, you know, gotta pay for the volunteers and the aid stations and the bibs and the... Everybody brought, it was like a potluck aid station, which was awesome. Okay. we all did did you bring? I brought croissants.

And ⁓ I brought nips. had a Dr. McGill Cuddies the minty kind and fireball. Okay, and so the croissants and then everybody donated some money that was gonna be donated to one of the keen local So it wasn't free. It was a don't you felt like you had to donate? much did you donate? gave it 20. Is that respectable? All right. I mean, so if everybody's gonna bring not a for-profit race if it's kind of like a potluck though

What did, what wasn't there that you needed or that people who needed it's like, ⁓ somebody forgot the butt wipes. no. You knew that if, that part of a potluck was there like a group plan for running on your own and just like bring snacks. there a group chat though that says like, Hey, I'm bringing the croissants and I'm going to bring the hot cocoa. I got the water. Everybody just kind of brought their own stuff. But so, ⁓ Rob Breckenridge and Chris Casey were the two guys who, who really put it on and they did get it.

like some basic snacks, they had water, there was some like electrolytes that you could add, but basically it's self-sufficient and you're just going to hang out and have fun and be festive. Cool. You were in Millinocket, you go every year. Every year. Every year. this is also, it could be labeled as a fat ass race, right? Pretty Because yours is free, right? It is a free race. You donate and you support the community. Oh but it's, we spend so much money on that. It's boost to the...

You know, the community up there, Revenue, Econ... Thank you, Economics. You've been doing this race for what? At least over five years now. I started in 2017, was my first year. But you always do the marathon. This year, you only did the half. No, I don't always do the marathon. I always sign up for the marathon because I'm like, oh yeah, I'll do it. I'll be fine by then. You know. Why didn't you do the marathon this

Because I've barely been running. What? Isn't it always like 14? Barely been running. You know what? What? It doesn't matter what you think! Nope, nevermind, hold on. It doesn't matter! Nope. Put a little icy hot on it, turn it sideways, and take it straight up your candy ass! Your candy ass! Come on, put a little icy hot on it! It's Milnock, it's cold, you're you stay numb the Oh, it doesn't matter, I drink Fireball. I don't care about it being cold. She does drink Fireball.

Yeah. You could have done it. As I texted the group chat, was like, pure Arden fireball shots. That's a win. I got to fix those ones because they all say the rock. And the second part's missing out. Like I need the second part first. So we'll figure it out. We'll get this whole thing down. We're going to have a lot of fun. The soundboard, if you guys are listening, like you're already annoyed. Listen, it's not going to become a daily thing. Erica does not have control of this soundboard.

feel like you shouldn't either. She does not. Because you know she's always gonna hit this one. ⁓

not going to press the button. What did you think of my intro? I loved it. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That was fun. ⁓ Yeah. was You like how it mixed in with our own intro because we changed the intro this year, not to go back in time yet, but we changed the intro kind of, and I don't think many people loved it. And I put so much work into it, but you were really afraid I was going to completely get rid of the song. I was reluctant. I mean, I do appreciate what you did with it. You personalized it, but you still kept like the soul of the song.

And if you did anything else to it, probably would have been like, nah, let's cut that out. So that's why I kept the song into the new one, or the Christmas one. That was good. That I think we're bearing the lead here. We have breaking news.

All right. Many of you have breaking news. Territory, you're first. I won the lottery. I'm going to Chicago. 2026, baby. Finally got my ticket pulled. I think I've been trying for four, four years, I think. So I've been trying for three.

Yeah. Yeah. So you're saying next year will be my year. Yeah. I will say my very first marathon was New York City and I entered the lottery and I won the first year I did it. So there is no rhyme or reason to it. But I did make a really cool reel on TikTok that kind of hit and I tagged Chicago in it the night before. So I don't know if that's what it was anything to do with it. But it blew up. It's me. Love me. So I'm very excited and

Erica and I already booked everything because we're having a girl's trip. So not only that, like you knew you won and my my lottery said still pending and I just knew I didn't get an email that said nothing. And you already booked the hotel before I even got my email that hours later said I wasn't in. Yeah. And you're like, we already got a room girl. Yeah, girl. We're going to room. We're going to do this. ⁓ and you're like, girl, Sammy's going and girl, Bridget's going and all these people are going and we are getting the same hotel. And I'm like, the hotel's booked.

⁓ and I don't know yet. But listen, the three of us have room together before and we were great. no, it's totally going to happen, by the way. Yeah. ⁓ yeah. We wouldn't have cared because Chicago is very expensive. my God. It was so we were going to do that. And I got to say, like right away, we were like, let's get the room now. And not like I'd say 80 percent of the hotels were sold out. And then the ones they were the cheapest one was little under.

Like $600 a night. And then you add taxes. It's disgusting. That's why we're like 18 people crammed in a room. Don't mind if we get some bunk beds? And for any of you wondering, the sleeping arrangements that happens when we do this is you two bunk together and I get my whole bed and we still split the room three ways. Yeah. So win for me. And Eric books it he gets the points. Yes. Well, not in this case. Not in this case, actually, because I would have been

late because I never got my email until like four o'clock. Yeah. And it's I did not get in. I want to see a single tear just slowly dripping down your teeth. I know. I know. I'm I'm using my microphone today. Everybody I'm just like I got some breaking news. What's your breaking news? Breaking wind is just breaking news. Bacon is tasty.

That's my breaking news, breaking this case. I have nothing else for you. Nothing. I still have gout. Really? Well, you never apparently you have gout forever. ⁓ it is like shingles where just the virus just stays in your. So it's not a virus. It's or whatever. You get flare up inflammation. Yeah. So I had another flare up because so I need to go see a doctor. I will in January. I'll get a checkup. I'll get blood work. I need to check out my uric acid levels. I'm still

Fingers crossed it's maybe a stress fracture because then it heals. If I have gout, I have to take medication forever to keep those uric acid levels down. So I had another flare up, not as bad as the first one, but I went skiing with it. Oh boy, that was rough. think I aggravated it while I was working out with Justin.

I I aggravated working out. Sorry, Justin, I can't work out with you anymore. I really want to because it's the best freaking workouts in the world. And I'm like dry heaving, trying not to throw up in his house. He moved the gym downstairs to the house part. It's sick. ⁓ It's so sick. Like, do you drive up to Laconia? No, he lives down the street from us. I thought he only lives there in the summer. ⁓ he has a house. Dude, it takes me one minute. Like when it's nice, I'll run there as a warm up. ⁓ OK. Yeah, he lives down the road. So he has a condo.

He doesn't have a condo. He has a building. He has a whole building. That's fancy. And the entire, what's that The whole entire bottom floor is like where they live. He calls it his condo. The whole entire top floor is offices and where they do their music. It's a condominium, it's a condom maximum. Something. For real. Lindsay, do you have any news? No. No. I don't. So Lindsay and I aren't that cool. No. We just both agree bacon is good. I definitely think bacon is good. So Erica and I are going to Chicago.

It's official. You guys, I am soon to be seven star Erica. I got into Sydney through the lottery. So there was my lucky lottery ticket and yeah, let's go six, seven, seven. I hate that still. And I refuse to change my nickname to seven star because that does not have a nice ring to it. So

Six star forever. We change it to six, seven star. Absolutely not. That'd be hilarious. I gotta say, that's how we're going to lose all the listeners. I'm not a fan of it. I think it's funny because it's like, I love it now. The kids love it. It makes them happy. They smile. Tommy the Eridae. This is when I gave in. Tommy the Eridae, four years old. I pick him up randomly. I'm putting him into the car. Randomly. He just starts going as I go into the car. Six, seven, six, seven, six, seven. He's doing the hands.

And I just loved it. was like, no, this is look how happy he is.

Two weeks in a row. It's not going to make you happy. There's a fast food restaurant that gives you numbers when you order and they had to take 67 away because there was people that would go and they're like, what number are you at? And then the whole restaurant would be like, six seven. ⁓ Well, there was another women's basketball game to the girl got fouled shooting a three. It's 64 points. And everyone saw that. She made the first one. I saw this. And then even the coach was the coach. Yeah.

It so good. Hey, makes people happy. It makes them smile. It's funny. Like if you hate that, you know what? Turn off the podcast. I just feel old.

Cause I'm like, totally. had to Google it. I'm like, what the heck? Go with it. You know, we just did it with her. The three of us at the same time. were like, six, seven. My girls that I coach, one girl, I would left her and she's like, Hey, can you come back? I'm like, yeah. Like, and she goes, come find me on whole like six or seven. And I was like, Oh my God. Okay. My whole girls on the run team, they all season. It was all six, seven. So question for the pod. Should we do bring back the question of the week, which just took a lot of work. Like.

There's a lot of work this last year and it was so worth it. But the question of the week dropped the ball unless someone else wants to it. Like I just gave up on Question of the week for the rest of the year until she becomes seven star Erica, should I introduce her as six seven? He's gonna do it and I'm gonna be like. I think we need to until the trend dies. I I kind of.

Yeah, I do too. I'm taking credit for that too. Is that gonna die first or am I going to go get my seven star so that I won't be six seven anymore? I thought you were gonna say am I gonna rage quit the podcast? seven star Erica though? No, no. It's not as bad as like eight star or five star, you know, but yeah, I actually I don't mind seven star. It's too many syllables six stars just flows easier. But you know what flows really nicely?

Six, seven! Stop hitting buttons. That was kind of the best of all the world. Stop hitting buttons. got all of them. Not only that, you hit these ones, you turn the page and everything. Alright, so... That's what you get. Are you ready for your trip to Australia? Wait, when is it? What month? It's the end of August. Okay. So I'm treating it as a 40th birthday excursion. I turn 40 in June, so everybody better be at the Gothstone Gallup.

You will be at because I did not get into Western states. Luckily I lost that lottery. You love that real. I'm so happy. Like you loved it. But so you're telling me there's a chance. So good. Yeah, I am not doing that. It was.

audio, maybe. you're telling me there's a chance? Yeah! It doesn't sound so good without the music behind it. It takes too long. The put in the music behind it kind of is a nice little touch. Yeah. Anyways, have you figured out your flight arrangements? Yeah, and I'm absolutely not paying for the lay down seats because you don't even know how expensive that is. They are like $20,000. What's stopping you?

You have no other kids. have no other commitment. You're not like me or Lindsay. You don't not like terror who has to take care of dogs. I love that you think that just because we don't have kids, we're we're billionaires. You're full on that's rolling in the dough. I don't have have the rest of your life to pay this off. You could pay this off. I already have like all the stuff I'm paying off because I'm going to Chicago. We're going to Minnesota next year. We just sent out. Why don't not go to Chicago and Minnesota for one year? Just spend a little bit of money on a lay down

That is just an exorbitant amount and I'm not doing it. Well, when I was in New York, when I was in New York, I had a conversation with someone and she said, I will take care of this. So let me play this for you.

Erica, I was told to say something about getting that plane ticket. Maybe in a seat that reclines more than normal.

This Posse on a message. I mean, trust me, I would love to book those, but they were literally like $15,000. How long the flight is? It's like 20 hours. you're not going direct. We have to go to L.A. to get ⁓ L.A. going out and L.A. to Sydney. Then we are going to New Zealand, which is pretty sweet. So let me this is why you got to stick to one airline and stop doing kayak.com.

No, no, no. I do. Why all that? So use your points. This is why that's like four million points. This is why you've got to stick to one, like not fly breeze airways or whatever to some Myrtle Beach town and build up your points. Get the credit card with the points. And then one day you're like, Southwest doesn't fly there. Stop flying Southwest. You're going to regret where you're sitting. Seat 47F.

We have extended leg room, okay? splurged a little Brandon's gonna make you sit in the middle, isn't he? Because he's gonna be, I need the window, I need the aisle for his legs. No, So you're gonna be stuck in the middle. Yeah, and I only have to climb over him, though. But you're stuck in the middle for 20 hours. Oh, I would lose my 15 hours. know. It's Territorydactyl's now like, you know what, I'm with Eric. I would spend, I have four years to pay that I'd remortgage my house. You could, you can get payment plans for this. I would do it.

This is why I did not enter. I don't know how to argue this because I do not want to get a second mortgage just for a flight. I flew to Tokyo the same way and it was fine. Ask your parents. It's your 40th birthday. Can you give me a wow? Oh my god. Donald, Donald, don't Donny Donald. Can you can you you know it's her 40th birthday? Only feet will get you the seat.

Only feet will get you the seat. That's a good tagline there. That's new hashtag. Fine, who's gonna set up my only feet page? Do you guys wanna see a picture of my feet? Because I took one. I took one the other day. God, not. Is your gout ridden foot? Look at that. I hate feet.

God. That's that's the second time. That's the second flare up. The more recent one. All right. I'm horrified right now. This is my call, though, if everybody is so offended that I didn't book those lay down seats, you guys can chip in money. Start to go. You know what? I'm not. I'm with you. But they're only going to do it if you provide the content. Is it really twenty thousand dollars? It was ridiculous. It's not, though. You could have gotten like, OK, Delta one. Yeah.

But you could have gotten premium economy that laid back 70 degrees or 70 % or whatever. could have. on the flights that I was looking at that actually worked for when I could fly out. they were ridiculous.

You are going to these movies blindly. I am going to list these movies in a random order and you're going to rank them one through 10. One being the best, 10 being the worst. Okay. All right. Is that three? The three? The three of you are going to work together. Yes. All right. Yes. Movie number one, die hard. I don't know. I that's going to be near the bottom. I like it, but I don't think people are. I'd go with like eight. That's a very

That's a very controversial one. is. So I would I would say around somewhere around there. Somewhere around six, seven. So I get real old with that. I'm going to go. I'll go. Yeah. I disagree with it, but I'll go. All right. All right. Next movie. National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation. That's up there. That's up there. We got to do to to do to because we there could be one that's better. OK, OK.

Movie number three. Elf. Oh, that's that's my favorite. That's my favorite. I love Elf. Do we are we doing that? We I would. What I put it as one thing about it. What could possibly beat Elf? There's a Santa Claus home alone. Home alone. Home alone, you guys. I don't know. But oh, a Christmas story. Remember, you already have a number two here. Guys, if a Christmas story is on there, it's got to be one. Elf is three. OK. Yeah.

That one is definitely up, though. OK, number three. Bad Santa. that's going to be at the bottom. You have to be like a type of humor. Yeah, I would like I would watch it if you want to put 10. Yeah. All right. Yeah. Number four. Number four. The Grinch. which one? Jim Carrey, Jim Carrey. OK, do want to do somewhere in the middle for really that one is on?

All the time. I feel like everybody loves that. So I would give it to number four, but I just don't think it's quite good enough to be number one. No. Okay. Next one. Home Alone. Five. Five? Really? I don't think it's number one. I'm just like, this is where we can do Wait, what else would we do for one? I think a Christmas story. Oh, Christmas story. That's right. What if he doesn't pick a Christmas story though?

All right, we can put we can put it as number one. I'm fine with that. This is he's going to he's going to save for some story next. You know, is. I can see it on his face. That's the one they play 24 hours all day. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. Did you see this? They had made a second one. wasn't it was disappointing. get it. I couldn't get it. I haven't even seen that. I probably wouldn't watch it either. I don't know. Five one or five. Yeah. ⁓

I mean, that is a staple in my house. Yeah. And I have seen a Christmas story so many times that I can't tolerate it anymore. I put it. I would put a Christmas story lower than I am. right. Then Home Alone has to be one. Yeah, we'll go home alone. Yeah. Number one. All right. This is like a list like these are like my favorite rankings. Home Home Alone. put here we go. Words. All right. Next one.

A Christmas story. I knew it from the look on his face. How many are left? Just so okay, there should be three left, right? No, three. Yes. Three. So we have six, seven and nine left. Eight of you guys. All right. Santa Claus. Six. Yeah. A Santa Claus.

Wait, is it The Santa Claus? The Santa Claus with at end. You have a Christmas story. Santa, but it's Claus with an E at the end, like, Claus. You also have a Christmas Carol. Muppet? No! No. Just Ebenezer. Is that the next one? Yeah. Oh, that's nine. It's not Muppets I ain't watching. Yeah, it be. What's your favorite Christmas Carol? Muppet Christmas Carol. Okay, it's Muppets. How do you do that?

No, you can't just change it. I just have a it just says one fall. It just says a Christmas carol. So that's the original. So that goes nine. No, it's the Muppets. No, it's the I make the rules. But you're going to to. He's like, I'm the boss. Actually fit. Yeah. Say what? You're going to have to look up in the list that you wrote down where it actually goes. It doesn't know. This is my list. I made this list. Wait, no, no, he doesn't have a ranking. I have the 10 random movies.

And you're making, you're ranking them. That's all. But what are we comparing them to? Anything? I'm just saying of all the Christmas Carol stories, your favorite is the Muppets. So I'm saying the Muppets, the Muppets version of A Christmas Carol. put that seven then. All right. Yeah. Sure. I feel like he's not. I don't know. All right. Last one, which will be number nine. It's terrible. Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. No, I'd leave it at nine. Yeah.

That one's old. I feel like the older How did we do? Not bad, not bad. All right, here's the final list. Number 10. Our list. Bad Santa. Number nine, Rudolph. Number eight, Die Hard, which is also a debate. Is it a Christmas movie? And Bruce Willis says no. Bruce Willis says no? Yep. Number seven, the Muppets version of A Christmas Carol. Number six, the Santa Claus. That's low. Shame on you three. I love it. Number five.

Christmas story. Number four, The Grinch. Three, for Dale, elf. Number two, National Lampoons, Christmas Vacation, and number one, Home Alone. If I were to change anything, I think I would have put National Lampoons as number one. Home Alone would probably be a three or four for me. Christmas Story would probably be like a nine, because Die Hard would be 10, because it's not a Christmas movie. Santa Claus, think, is a real number two.

think I would go. ⁓ man, it's so hard. think I would go elf ⁓ the Santa Claus home alone, lampoon, Grinch. But it's so hard because they're all my favorite. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Basically interchangeable. So those are like one to five. One number. Yeah, I watch. So do we find out what the like, you know, it's just fun. ⁓ I thought it was a fun little game to check after. Well, could. You've never heard of like blind rankings.

Yes, I see that we're comparing it. I've seen the trend where it's on TikTok and they have fast foods restaurants come up and like six of them and you have to rank them right as they still like like, I don't know, Chipotle should come up. And then you're like, I love that. All right. I'll put it at one. then like, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. So here's the deal. We have food foods here. The Christmas episode's not over. So let's transition. Let's get some food and then let's make some phone calls. Remember, we'd made phone calls earlier. Let's call some people.

and wish them a Merry Christmas, Happy New

And we're back! We're back! After about three... How many slices of pizza did you get? I had three. Well, I had like six, but mine's cut into like really small pieces. Okay, you? I had three. I had three. Three for Dale. There we go. I need that on the soundboard. had actually, you know what? I think I had like six, seven.

I was waiting for that. When is it gonna end? Never. Alright, let's make some phone calls. Let's say hi. Let's say Merry Christmas to some people. In fact, Terra Pterodactyl, let's call your buddy Ryan Painter. My new bestie. New bestie.

Hello. Ryan, what's up? Hey, what's going on? Hey, it's Tara, Tara Dactyl. I know who it is. I can tell by your voice. Oh, I love that. Your best buddies. Now you two are hanging out down in Charlotte, North Carolina, having some cold beers, showing off your medals, which was very impressive compared to that Chicago Marathon medal. I know, right? Spartans where it's at. I you'd like that. Yeah.

Hey man, we're just calling to say, know, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays. Thanks for being a big supporter of the pod. We love you and hope you're well. Yeah, absolutely, man. I love hearing you guys put those episodes out every week. I think you guys are doing an awesome job. I just appreciate how good the quality of your work has been. It's just getting better and better all the time. Thanks, bud. Hey Ryan, it's Lindsay. Do you have anything big coming up in the new year?

Um, no, honestly, this is a whole story in of itself. All of my A races for like the last year and a half have just been major disasters, but outside of the, uh, running stuff, I'm trying to shoot for a 1200 pound, uh, powerlifting total at the end of probably next month. So that's kind of what I'm shooting for right now. Maybe thinking about doing the half iron man in Maryland in June, and then we got to watch out for the jellyfish in that one.

Yeah. And well, and I swim my wetsuits sleeveless. know, Mike gets some good scars out of that. And then I'm to try to make another swing at doing a marathon. The last time I did that, that ended in disaster, Ocean City Marathon and next, next November be my first marathon. So I'm going to try to shoot for that one again this year. Nice. Hey, just out of my own curiosity, where are you working? Are you still at Spire? Spire. Yep. Nice. Nice. Are things good there? Life's good? ⁓

You know, when I came over, had questions, but I couldn't imagine being anywhere else right now. It is fantastic and they're a growing organization and it's right exactly where I need to be. Smart move talking positively about them and not negatively. Cause you know, NASCAR listens to this, the entire NASCAR industry. Yeah. Well, hey man. Well, with that lawsuit, man, you got to be careful with what you say now. I know. And especially texts. Like we're probably safer talking about than texting. Cause you see some of those text messages.

Right? Yeah. But hey, they got their way. Are you happy with the result? ⁓ I, yeah, I think it's, think internally we were all kind of worried that it was going to be a bad thing, but I think it'll be for the best. And you know, we're already kind of talking about the point system again. So I think we've all kind of moved on already. know, smart heads prevailed, but I'm happy we got all that juicy stuff.

Like this was a better result for me, know, drama wise than seeing them settle in October. Right. We got nine days worth of juicy stuff. So, hey man, last question though for you. What are you hoping to get under the Christmas tree?

Oh, that was a good question. Hmm. You know what? I think what I'd like to see under the Christmas tree is somebody to pay for my next big race. Oh, that sounds awesome. You a sugar daddy, huh? Sugar mama. I feel like the sugar daddies are going to still shell it out too. But Ryan, this year coming up, to the strippers at the Iron Man. How about me and you? We start we start some only feet pages. That's going to that's going to cover. you go. I some feet pics now to put on that too. You're going to.
