Hey guys, Steve here. You are listening to one of our original 26 episodes. If you listen to any of our new episodes, you're gonna notice that we're sounding a little different in these ones.

Yeah, there's a reason for that. There is. They've been remastered. They have been remastered. Because they had a really annoying hum.

Yeah, I mean, a huge thanks to listener James for doing almost all of the legwork on this thing.

You'll also notice if you had listened to what we're calling the last 26 episodes before, and you're re-listening now, the music and sound effects are gone.

Yes, we've gone back to straight audio. So, be warned. We sound a little different today than we do in what you're about to listen to.

Yeah. Bye.

The stories of things we simply don't really want to do.

Hey everyone, welcome to a very special episode of Thinking Sideways the Podcast. It's the holiday episode.

Merry Christmas. I'm Devin. I'm Steve. And I'm Joe.

So speaking of Christmas.

Favorite holiday. It's a pretty good one. I know better than Halloween.

Yeah, it's pretty good. You get presents. You get to like sit around and drink.

I know. I know and agnog and eat a lot and eat a lot and just like hang out in warm houses and there's snow outside and sometimes it's just so happy.

I feel like, right? It's pretty cool.

It's a nice snow. If there's not actually snow, we don't get a lot of snow here. I know.

No, I just go on this spray paint my yard white.

It's the perfect way to do it. It's very organic.

So I kind of wanted to talk about the mystery of Santa.
