Wow! Wild times, here we go. We're in the studio. Tis the season, gentlemen. That's right. Fala-ra-la-la-la. It's a real bummer that we, all of us, even though it's three days before Christmas, forgot to bring our Christmas sweaters. I'm- Almost texed. I'm sick of it. I'm sick of Christmas. I've listened to Mariah Carey's song 30 times today alone. Dude, I almost texted to bring Christmas jammies. I'm so bummed I didn't. And I was like, ah, nah, we'll let it. You know, so we planned this party. And so we got Christmas jammies. Like we ordered them. Like, did, my family, and now we just wear them every day since we've gotten them. Yeah, without washing. Of course not. Footies, everything. Have you ever seen adults in footy pajamas? They don't think so. It's really difficult. I feel sorry for kids. You got to wear them. The little stick on things that go under them. Yeah. You got to put the footy grip. This is going to be a good show. We have some really fun news. We'll recap our Christmas party. Listen to this whole show. Go hide in a closet. Hide from your families for an hour. Yeah. Spend an hour with us. It's worth it. Poppa magic time. Dude, I'm so jet lagged. If I don't drink this, I'm fucked. Are you still?

1:12.8

Is your clock?

1:13.4

Because you've now been back for... worth it. Pop a magic to mine. Dude, I'm going to. I'm so jet lagged. If I don't drink this, I'm fucked.

1:11.9

Are you still?

1:12.8

Is your clock? Because you've now been back for 72 hours. Uh, let's say. Kyle, you were in India with me. Tell us about how your night went last night. Give me your sleep schedule. Last, then I'll give mine. Let's set it up.

1:26.5

You guys just got basically you got straight off the plane from Vietnam came to the Christmas

1:31.5

party. Yeah. And then now it's been what? Two days? It's been two days since we got back from India. And you got drunk, very drunk one of the days. Yeah, which helped with the sleeping. However, last night, I'll tell, I'll just quickly, because I know

1:44.4

Kyle's was worse because he sleeps in the studio. Last night, my family went and got a Christmas tree and I was asleep face down on the carpet on the floor at 7.30 p.m. while they decorated around me. Yeah. That's like, I feel like that was my dad every weekend when I was a kid. Yeah, well, that's how mine went.

2:01.9

What was your sleep schedule last night, Kyle?

2:03.5

I went to bed was my dad every weekend when I was a kid. Yeah, well, that's how mine went. What was your sleep schedule last night, Kyle? I went to bed at my house, about 7 o'clock, slept until 8, woke up, had dinner, slept from 8.30 to 1130, drove to the studio, no traffic, got here at 1230, didn't sleep at all. And I've been awake since.

2:18.3

He's still up. Yeah. He's still up since midnight. It's 11 p.m. Yeah. The Southeast Asia jet lag is is a bad. There is there is absolutely nothing worse than if you fall asleep like at 6 p.m. and then wake up before midnight. Your odds of being able to get any more sleep that night before like 5 a.m. is just, and then it's, you're up. You just lay in there like, I told Kyle, I was like, did you just give up and look at your phone for seven hours and be like, fuck it. I'm just up to the next 24. The options are, because you know you're going to, it's going to be worse if you look at your phone. But the options are look at your phone and do nothing

or just stare at the ceiling.

2:55.2

Staring at the ceiling's a nightmare. Oh my God. That's the worst part of insomnia, man. I'm pretty sure that's why most people kill themselves. Yeah. If you do what I do, you check the time on your phone and you're like, all right, I'm not going to look at my phone. Once I start looking at my phone, I'm screwed. I'm not going to go back to sleep.

3:10.3

And you're like, all right, I'm going to try to go back to sleep. And then you're like, all right,

3:13.4

I've been trying for two hours. I got to check my phone. And you check your phone. It's been like seven minutes.
