| 0:00.0 | Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to group chat. It is 2023. This is the first episode of the |
| 0:06.9 | year. We're kicking it off with a happy new year kickoff. A lot to talk about. We talk about |
| 0:15.1 | grammar first pet peeves pet peeves and the amount of pet peeves happy new years to the amount of pet |
| 0:23.2 | peeves. More to come on that. We'll stop by parenting. Much of parents pissed me off at the |
| 0:29.7 | snow today or this weekend. Talking about that and then we dive into Tesla, SPF, the Middle East |
| 0:39.3 | and so much more and then a bunch of shout outs to kick off the year. Shall we get into it? Let's go. |
| 0:53.6 | Happy new year, everyone. Here's an interesting thing. You know, people say happy new years. That's |
| 1:02.8 | incorrect. I think it's happy new year's eve. Yes. New year's eve belongs to the year. Yes. |
| 1:09.9 | The posture for us. Yes, but people consistently have been emailing me, text me happy new years, |

| 1:34.8 | them into a folder and assume they have lower intelligence. Here's the thing. I'm sure historically, |
| 1:42.6 | I've made that mistake too. But it's okay to get corrected and look it up and properly understand |
| 1:50.4 | and feel like a curb episode, like Larry David would be doing this. Yes. It's insane because |
| 1:57.1 | the other thing is it's publicly on social media now. People saying it's not happy new years. |
| 2:03.7 | It's happy new year. But people can't help themselves. Well, it is a little confusing because the day |
| 2:10.1 | before is new year's eve. Yes. So you just kind of carry that on the next day. Sure. Some point, |
| 2:18.0 | you know, now it just drives me nuts when people say happy new years. Yeah. I don't know. It's, |
| 2:25.4 | it's nuts. That to similar is a grammatical thing that literally drives me insane. And it happens |
| 2:32.8 | on this spot a lot is the difference between amount and number when you think of things. Okay. |
| 2:39.0 | So if something's quantified, you have to use number of not amount of. Who's saying amount of? |
