Oh hey, it's your little brother who gets up at 4.30 a.m. on Christmas and jumps on your

face until you're awake because it's time to unwrap Tonka trucks and drink Swissmas

with dehydrated marshmallows.

Alli Ward.

And it's the holidays kiddos.

So after asking Twitter if I should take a week off or not, a lot of you said, no bitch,

get to work.

I need a new app and I respect that, but others convince me to just be like an alive human

and hang out with my family and rest for a week.

So you are getting an encore episode of Burbs.

Now some of you might even be listening to this to pregame for the annual Autobahn

Society's Christmas Bird Count, which great news.

I just find out goes until January 5th.

So if you're inspired after this episode to do some bird counting, a little bird watching,

look up the Christmas Bird Count and join a group in your area.

You can do that.

You can meet new bird friends.

And if you don't think you care enough about birds yet to go outdoors and head to toe

fleece in the winter, just give me an hour.

Give me one hour.

This episode is going to make a bird nerd out of you.

Just wait.
