Daniel Hines. How you doing, Amanda? I am okay. How are you, Dan?

Pretty good.

Today, we're going to be talking about video games, but I kind of, before we get into that, I kind of wanted to know, how is your Christmas shopping going in general?

Are you, I mean, I'm going to, I can ask you the question, but I know you're, you're a last

minute person.

Yes.

I didn't mean to stress you on.

I'm just wondering.

No, yes, I am a last minute person.

It is every year the holidays sneak up on me.

In general, with gifts, if there's like a deadline, I struggle.

But like other times I will be like struck with like,

oh, this, I want to get this specific thing for this specific person when it's like not connected

to a reason to give them a present. And then I like won't buy it, but then I won't remember it when

it's like time. And I just wish that I could just, I should just buy people things when I think

of it, you know?

I'm a big proponent of buying people little things as you find them.

I know.
