Hey dude.

Hey!

We're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Wow.

Is it loud for...

Is it the headbox?

I don't know if it is or not, though.

It's December 23rd.

My name is Bernie Burns.

We just got blasted by the theme music.

I hope it didn't hit you guys as hard as it just hit us.

Or maybe that's the new thing because I'm definitely awake now.

Sitting right over there.

Ashley Burns.

Holy cow, that was loud.

Hey, Bernie, how are you doing?

We're trying a new setup here. What the fuck was that? We got hammered by that. All right. And this seems like totally normal volume right now, right? It does. It seems way better. I don't know what that shit was. I don't know what that shit was. But hey, cut it out. Hey, welcome everybody. It's the week of Christmas. These are going to be punchy episodes in general because we're doing so much family stuff. And we are, Ashley, scale of one to ten, how exhausted are you? Eight. Yeah. I mean, like, I'm not the level where, you know, they do like the torture where you're not allowed to sleep. but it's close. It feels like that.

There's deprivation. Yeah, there's no one deliberately keeping me awake and torturing me,

but they're just doing it accidentally. And it's just as effective. It's just your love of family and tradition that's keeping you away and torturing you. That's all that's doing it.

So yeah, so probably this week we'll do 20 minute episodes.

Probably stay away from some like hot butt issues because you're probably listening to this,
