Stand up.

Hello and welcome to today's episode of Stand Up.

Joining me at about 33 minutes in, I've got Rod and Karen from the Black Guy Who Tips podcast.

We had a great first conversation.

I'm very much looking forward to them joining me and J.L. Covan at Podjam 3 in Las Vegas, April 9th through 12th, which I know several of you have already started making plans for, got your tickets.

There's a link in today's and everyday show notes to find out more. Get your tickets now.

I think you'll love my conversation with Rod and Karen, but I do have some headlines and clips for you, or what I call the shit show coming up.

But first, thank you so much for being here. Thank you for supporting me with a subscription.

If you've been with the start, from the start, that's amazing.

If you just joined, welcome to our community.

I think I might host a hangout on Friday night.

Remains to be seen, but hope to see you then.

I highly recommend that you host something yourselves if you'd like to, especially those of you who might be alone on Christmas, maybe share the details in Discord. I heard some of you already are, but it is Tuesday today. Christmas is Thursday. That means tomorrow's Christmas Eve. So if that's something you are celebrating with others, I hope it goes wonderful and safe and fun. But if you're alone, like I said, I hope you find joy and meeting and fun as well. And if you're not celebrating

the holiday, I hope you enjoyed the general sense that things slow down in the world for a minute

or whatever else the day brings you and Taint Week is right behind it. I will be posting

intermittently this week. And next week, I make no commitments to posting show or any content, but I also probably will, you know me. I'm planning to talk to a few people live on YouTube and Substack today. So look for those. Maybe not. We'll see who comes through. And thank you to everybody who sent me nice thoughts knowing I was taking my girls away for the weekend in Vermont this past weekend by the way as you may or may not know for my 50th birthday which took place

on Halloween the girls rented a cute log cabin for us and I believe it was built by the Amish by the way

said that somewhere and it was in north shrewsbury vermont so that we could ski the beast as it's

called that's killington mountain we did that on Saturday and it was one of those days to remember for sure. I was worried it was going to be a sheet of ice because all the rain the day before and cold temperatures immediately following. But guess what? The snow was pretty darn good. The lines weren't too long. The sun came out, and we all skied great. Nobody had any issues or injuries. We made memories,

but most importantly, had a great time together. And I should mention I skied very good. People were

shouting down from the chairlifts. Wow, I've never seen anybody ski that good. So I thought that was

really nice of those folks. The next day, we woke up and the conditions didn't look as good.
