Welcome to the happy rant podcast, the podcast in which Stephen Altrogy, Barnabas Piper, and Ted Cluck cheerfully

rant about all the things that don't matter all that much.

And now buckle up for today's episode.

Hey there, welcome back to the Happy Ramp Podcast.

I'm Ted Cluck, joined as always by my good friends,

Ronald J Martin and Barnabas Piper.

And guys, the Burlap sacks, the shepherds pouches have all been

uh... have all been over and offered uh... they've all been

given thanks for uh... the food has been eaten the uh... the presence have been opened and and what we're... and the that's either filled with, you know, for me, I think a little bit of elation at kind of being done with all the family stuff and being alone again, which I like.

Or for, maybe for you, Bigar, there's a little sense of let down, of depression.

Am I right about that?

Yeah, baby, I mean, I think what we're talking about is this thing called P.C.

Post Christmas Depression.

It's a real thing. it's something I've been experiencing since I was probably I think six or seven years old when I went to bed on Christmas night and I started literally crying and my dad comes in the room and he says what's wrong and I said well dad I don't know if you've noticed but when I wake up in the morning it's not going to be Christmas anymore. Oh yeah yeah.

And so that's kind of affected me every year.

Dude your old man kind of this practical I think I think blue collar sort of guy how did he how

did we deal with your delicate emotions in that scenario yeah he just said well like

I've always told you guys he said if you would just wait till Groundhog's day all the Christmas

sales would happen and I would get to buy you twice as many toys but nobody ever

wants to listen to me that was his response what a practical guy man he was a

practical guy he sounds like he was full of Christmas cheer. I think I like him.

Yeah, no, you would have hated him. He loved Christmas. I hate to say it. I don't hate people who love Christmas. I just hate certain aspects of the love of Christmas.
