Coming up during this episode, we have each selected a moment that truly made us laugh and feel good when sharing this story with you.

We've each chosen one that you're going to hear, plus what you have chosen as the listener's choice moment of the year.

My name is Cadillac Jack.

I joined Atlanta Radio.

When I was 19 years old, I put in a loyal 26 years.

Welcome to my second age.

My name's Don and I'm Candy's wife, and I've realized I'm not quite as strange as I thought I was originally.

Because Christmas is over on the other side of Christmas, I hope everyone had a great holiday, spent lots of time with your family.

But I have always sorted out my kids' presents. We have three kids, 21-year-old son, Will,

17-year-old daughter Olivia, 14-year-old daughter Charlotte. And because, you know, you want all

their little, what are you doing? You want all their little piles to be equal. And so I am always like staging the presence in the closet. And you'll come in there and be like, what are you doing? And I've got like Will's pile and Olivia's pile and Charlotte's pollen. I'm always trying to make sure everybody's equal. And so I was asking some people, I'm like, do you do this? Like, do you stage out your presence to make sure that everything's kind of equal? You know, because the older they get, like some of the presents, like video games, they are, they look like they're not very much, but they cost a lot. But anyways, I've talked to people and they do spreadsheets, Excel spreadsheets for their kids to make sure that each one of them is equal. What do you think about that? I don't know, do we need to do, do we need to focus on that each one of them is equal.

What do you think about that? I don't know. Do we need to do that we need to focus on that to justify the amount of money that we spend on your time? Well, you feel bad. Like if you have multiple kids and one person's opening a ton of presents, but then another person's not, but their presence were more expensive. And you feel like you need to tell them and say something. But do you? No, you don't actually, but that's just what moms do.

But this made you feel empowered.

It made me feel empowered. Some of your friends. Also do that. But I also want to say that this was the first holiday. Like this is the first time we got to spend time with Niana in eight months. And so my mom, Nanna, lives in an assisted living facility. And because of COVID, they have not been let out to roam free since COVID started in March. Nana has not left this building.

Her building, yeah. In eight months. And so it's longer than that. Yeah. 10. 10, yeah. So she got to come over to

our house for Christmas and Al, my mom's 100 year old boyfriend who lives with her. That's a whole other story.

Who could beat me in a 20 yard dash today in the parking lot here they have to meet. He got let out. He was so excited. It's like they were being released into the wild. Think about that though. I know. You have been in a 600 square foot apartment for 10 months. You have had your meals delivered to you in styrofoam packaging. I know. No, she was so excited. Well, she's been groomed. But they were so excited. She was so excited to see the grandkids. We were so excited to spend time with her. So I hope everyone just felt the fact that this set of holidays while different was really not about

staging your presence and who got more who got what but it was just about being around your family

but i'm also not weird for staging my present so all right my present is my present wait my present

to you is my presence do Do you like that? Yeah.

Okay.
