Hello, good morning. Merry Christmas. It is Monday the 29th of December. And this podcast is still on the road,

still in production, still, you know, happening. And that is thanks to the fact that it's got

very low production value, I do it myself and I don't have any guests and I do it from home. So all these fancy

podcasts that you're really enjoying watching now, even though it is an audio medium, they've got

glam, they've got lights and cameras and fancy research and fact checking. Not me, but you get an episode December 29th, recorded at 7.30 a.m.

December 29th. I've come out to the podcast studio slash gym to do this by myself because we have

the babysitter today. And you know, I love her so much.

What was her last day?

I think her last day with us would have been December 18th or 17th.

And then we did have her the evening of the 21st to go to a party.

And now we don't have her again until the kids go back to school

January 5th but we said do you know what will you please pop in Monday December 29th

because I think we will all be sick of each other and the children are as sick of us as we are

of them and I don't know what state of mind, Bobby, is going to be coming

down the stairs in today. But last night was a harrowing loss for the family. He supports the

Pittsburgh Steelers American Football Club. They were favored to win last night. They'd be in

the playoffs automatically, I'm told, if they had one last night,

and they lost. And I don't know what happened with the game. I think it's too stressful sometimes

for me to watch. I just went to bed, but it was low scores as well. So it must have been a

like toughly contended battle and they still have another chance to get in the playoffs but they have

to play someone else i don't know bobby takes all of this really personally and you will know if

you have a sports fan husband or wife or partner or friend that like yeah they get deep into it
