Braden here protocol Drer.

Love you, Pee.

Well, Brad, how are you doing?

I'm all right.

I'm all right.

I've had a lot of family in town.

It's been busy, but I guess that's good, you know, like seeing people.

It's just logistically tough.

Yeah, this is why I don't have kids. They're difficult to organize the curving cats.

Yeah, it's like my older sister and her three kids were in town. And then my younger sister and her three kids are arriving this week. And my cousin and her three kids were in town. Were they all staying with you? No. Oh, thank God. Jesus Christ. And I felt like sort of bad. I was like, do I, like, if I were a good person, I would be like, yeah, come stay with us. But like our house. And then if they were good people, they'd be like, well, stay in a hotel anyways. Yeah. Like, first of all, I should just say that as a personal matter, I mean, I guess we have

stayed at my little sister's house for the holidays, but like, that's because they invited us,

because they want the kids to all be together at Christmas. Right. But generally speaking, I would never stay at anybody's house. No, never. I would always stay at a hotel. Even if it was like Christmas, I'd probably be like, we'll stay at a hotel except for Christmas night and then the kids can obviously sleep over that night. You know, like it's like anything besides that just feels like too much. Yeah, it's just, it's a lot. Unless they're like a really rich person. I'm just like thinking to myself like, yeah, they, they don't think we're assholes for not inviting them. I mean, it's her sister, right? Like I feel like if it were my brother, I would just be like, am I an asshole for not inviting you to the house? Like I would, but it's not comfortable. Right, right, right. I guess you should just say, I don't know. It's just like, but I don't know, people have different relationships with their siblings than I do. Well, and cousins and like, I don't know what, I don't know what's expected, you know. I feel like, I feel like like pretty like easygoing family oriented people would be like, yeah, just come stay. And like for me, I think it's because I work at home too. It's just like. And the thing about that is like your family will be like, oh yeah, like come stay. And then like quietly they're having like a whole meltdown about it and be like, oh my God, we have to clean the whole house and we have to like get them guest room do all this shit like it's like you can be like oh friendly no big deal but like it's a big

deal for anybody who does that. Yeah, it's a lot. It's a lot. So anyway, just do it doing all that and, uh, try. I love one bedroom apartment. So no one's asking me to stay over unless it's like my friend Janice and then we just like sleep in my bed for four days

until I sleep in

my bed for four days and Tyler slips on the couch and that's pretty much that's how happens

wait she's the only person who has access to your apartment no no plenty of people have access

to my apartment but like there's one bed and there's a couch so if they're sleeping over they're

sleeping on the couch or they're sleeping in the bed with me and Tyler's sleeping on the couch. We should make note of the fact that I have never been in your apartment. I've never been invited to your apartment. There's been no. Oh, no, that was my last apartment you came to. Briefly. Brad, you are welcome over any time. It's a total mess. And I have a big collection of calico critters, but maybe you'll like it.

What's a calico critter?

Wow.

Is this a new early Brad Learns segment?

I think it might be.
