Hey everybody welcome to don't make me come back there. We are a funny

podcast about family. My name is Dustin Nicholson. I'm a standard comedian and the

host of the four-mentioned podcast and alongside me in our studio

slash the east wall of our daughter's room is my lovely wife Melissa Nickerson.

He there. Hi there when doing our, as we were testing the mic, you went into baby talk for some reason.

You just went straight goo goo gaga.

You get so much sillier on this than you do in life.

Earlier today you told me to take it easy.

And I responded to not a single day of the of being married to

for the last 16 and a half years has been easy. I'm not saying I'm not happy

and then I haven't enjoyed it. I would never one time describe it as easy.

I would describe it as easy for me either.

Yeah, I receive that rebuke.

Welcome to our little podcast, everybody,

backseater's so great to have you back here.

Happy New Year to you.

We're here to talk to you about just that, the new year, and particularly about getting

back into the swing of things, what it was like, is you kind of, you know, we'd like to format it to such where we think about, what was was like as you kind of, you know, we like to format it as such where we think about what was that like when we were kids coming back from winter break and how it's just so different now.

Everything is just wild and different and hard and challenging no matter what kind of version it is for you.

There's no normal. It's no normal. Everything is different. It's changed. The vaccine is coming out at the slowest

pace possible I love that you know and but you know mine there's a little more

dare I say an air of optimism.
