What? Pop and everybody hello in Mogen and Popcorn culture. My name is Ben Karlin and I am your host here with me today is my brother Jay, who will be in every episode.

I'm here Ben, I'm made it, I tell you what it has been three weeks in a row now that I'm like a little surprise that I've made it in here to be the special guest.

I'm like I put it on my calendar and I'm like, boy I sure hope I can make it to the pop today and then I do and then you do then you're here and this is in due to the fact that your family has effectively been sick for almost a full month.

Almost one full month right now Ben, the count is now 26 days in a row where someone has been like actively sick. Not like oh yeah I kind of like I don't know if you know what I'm saying today but I mean like someone has like had a legit symptom like fever or throwing up or terrible sore throat or I'm sorry I meant to say sponges.

Wow man I know it has been it has been like freaking non stop and like I feel like I used to hear horror stories about this sort of thing happening like I would just kept passing it around just you get someone else get something else it's like it's okay if you pass like one thing around right but it seems like multiple things have been happening it's like oh you you guys have something now.

Right on the tail end of me getting better and it's nothing like what I had it's just a brand new thing which means the cycle continue again.

Yeah it's true and then even even like so today is is December 6th and like long time pop listeners or fans of like super carland brothers the channel might know that 12.5 day is a bit of a carland family holiday.

It's the day that our dad proposed to our mom and it was the day that you proposed to Beth it is also the day that we just historically always decorate our Christmas tree.

That's right family. We come over and we have pizza and we decorate the Christmas tree on 12.5 day and it's good times and good feelings to be had.

Yeah and so as of like last night you know like we're dealing with everybody being in like varying stages of ill and then we've also got like all of the members of our family all of whom we're trying to get together and then it's like during

yesterday like leading up to yesterday's dinner event we were like actively getting text messages from our younger brother Tyler who like two members of his family are now confirmed sick by the doctor with like two other ailments entirely.

Oh yeah now there's some pink eye floating around. I know some group call some crew. I mean yeah it's not it's not even it's not even just like yeah I've had a bit of a call for a couple of days.

You know it's like no I went to the doctor they did a test and confirmed it and sent me a prescription for a specific it's like it's it you know it's not general under the weatherness yeah it's not like I've got a bit of a cold it's.

Actual being sick and it's I know I know no it's true it's true and the only thing it's giving me any solace is the fact that it's like it's all happening before Christmas.

Yeah so now I'm now like now my Christmas miracle it won't be a white Christmas it will just be a healthy. It's just we're all there and no one is sick that would be tremendous that's what I'm hoping for fingers.

Oh my gosh fingers. Yeah we have how many days until 19 days to make it happen if people are sick at my house for 19 more days in a row I'm going to lose my mind.

Do you think you'll get real grumpy?

I'm going to get grumpy then there's probably yeah just just general anger at the universe.

Come on this is not cool.

Yeah no totally fair totally fair grumpyness is a very interesting thing I think yeah because it's like it grumpyness is such a temporary form of like someone who has a bad attitude.

Yeah and it's so specific like you know like if someone just has a bad attitude then they just have a bad attitude but if you're grumpy it's like

I have a temporary bad attitude that can be rectified by like by like circumstantial change and my daughter Addison has absolutely been a grump pants.
