On The Twelfth Day of Christmas... February 4th, 2021: Down the Pipe into Super Nintendo World

the twelve days of culture, let's celebrate that. Did this kind of roll out the way you expected it to? I think I was very surprised, to be honest with you. It came out even better than I ever could have dreamed. And I think it was whose idea was it to do it? Was? It very much a joint thing. It was a joint thing. Like I was like, let's do it twelve days of something, and then you were like, twelve days of culture. And then we were like what

does that mean? And then we were like let's and then you were the one who's like, let's pick out dates from history that have contributed gifts. Sometimes when we make decisions together, says wow Erat did Hans come up with this? Check the Okay, we have a straight man who's sort of trying to take credit for your creativity. Interesting. I was going to say that oftentimes, whenever we make creative decisions together, I literally immediately forget who thought of it.

But isn't that beautiful that it doesn't matter? Yes, it is because I don't think in those terms. I don't care about credit at all. When I do get possessive about that kind of thing, it's usually when I'm like in a bad place with it, when I feel weirdly about what's what's what the work is? Does that make sense? Yeah?

Well I guess like yeah, for sure. Like but for me, it's like I would never get irritated about something like that unless someone was literally going out of the way to be like I came up with this, I thought of this, and I was involved equally, I'd be like, well, that's not true, why are you saying that? But I feel like, especially if they're trying to make money, I've been trying to make a buck off of buck off

of me. And I will get my lawyers. I will get my lawyer Seth and Isaac and and they will they will they were silent they will kill you. They are silent killers. Okay, my lawyers are silent killers. And you know what, bone is the same lawyers and they're silent killers. So back off to be against each other in a lawsuit, in a legal moment in dispute. Honestly, hansss check text. Guess what we've moved on. Hans is going to sue us. I guess well, Hans, Seth and

Isaac will kill you. And the words words of Taylor Swift, get a good lawyer because you're going to need one, because our lawyers are silent killers. Sent you the receipts Han says, what the fun all right? What does he say? Screenshots? He says, can you make it three Christmas episodes? Or about the twelve Days of Culture or about the twelve Days of Culture? And then I said, honestly, twelve Days

of Culture is very funny. So so ok, so I guess head of content, Hans, we're eating crow, as they say, I hate eating crow. It's it's the worst at least favorite food, at least favorite pul such a gamy bird. Um, but we're gonna have the damn damn bird apologized to I guess mss Hans who threw a fit just now in the chat a fit? Why can't you be more like us? When we say it doesn't we don't really care about who takes credit. I keep telling Hams to be more like us. I really do, namely a gay

man so we can kiss him anyway. Um, let's just say that this is the final day of culture and why do you ask about the way it panned out where you pleasantly surprised as well and thrilled even I was gonna say, like, I really didn't know what to expect. I just liked because reader, we're just We're gonna let you one on some bts. Oh top top Twitter moments

in culture history. A true joy. It was so fun, so fun, but we the way it came together was a flurry of just like, just like true like and in many ways that it's like ideal, that's like what I want every creative process to be like, just to be free flowing and not and have it not matter. But I kind of liked that, not that not that twelve days of culture wasn't free flowing, and that's not

what I'm saying. I'm saying I like that we had this space and the air to really think about what dates we're going to commit to for the twelve days of Culture, right. And also it's kind of become this thing too with the podcast at large, where obviously the pandemic has had us re examine how we do the

podcast and we really like to doing more episodes just together. Yes, and we have also talked about maybe in the maybe going forward, that we will do more episodes like this that's sort of examine a random thing and um and Field pointed, which is literally actually how the podcast started. That's right, that's very true. We're just going back to our roots, going back to our roots. It was going to be every episode was about a certain um cultural institution,

and we like really went into it. That's why our first episode is called the Grammys, and I think the second episode with An Andresen is called and I don't think we talked about at all because she got there and she was like, I don't watch it. We're like, okay, cool, well you know, don't matter, but it's still perfect. You always go back home, yes, and so I that's all I wanted to do was just kind of get your gauge on on what the twelve Days. Word, do you.

I really enjoyed this a great deal. They've been my favorite, They've been my favorite. They've been, I think been my favorite of the year besides the Top two hundred Days. And of course when Will Farell, our producer came, when Will Ferrell, our producer came. But I was I'm going to make a controversial statement and say that there, I'm putting them on equal equal footing. Twelve Days and Top two hundred. Wow. Different different things to get out of

both of them, but both equally valuable. If you whatever, whatever you're you know, meaning of value, whatever your persuasion, whatever your persuasion, ever persuasion, whatever your persuasion, whatever you and things change. But you know, um, the twelve Days of Culture were a blast and I had so much fun. And this actually is today, and you pitched this and I was really really excited about this because I think

it's form breaking. And we just came off an episode yesterday where we didn't even say a date because it's an unknown date. But this actually it looks ahead in such a beautiful way. And you said something so stunning about it. You said something stunning well before I before I say that I don't really remember what I said that was so stunning, but I do want to say that this was another collaborative moment because my sister Matt Rodders, sent me a video of Yes walking through this land

Yes and going you have to watch this. I watched. I go, Oh my god, I cannot. I cannot believe this. I've never been so excited. And this led into the stunning thing you said. I said, this has to be the twelf day of culture. It's a beautiful intersection of our interests individually and as a duo. It's theme park culture, it's video game culture intersecting. And the day of Culture is as of this recording in the future. It looks ahead. It looks ahead, and that is a statement, and we

are making a statement. It's so unbelievable. We've all we've done is look back on these on these episodes. But we're here to say there is culture ahead, there's culture to look forward to, not as all pulled back from the tide of the past. I'm crying so hard. I've never been this emotional in years. I am crying so hard. I can control myself. Look how much I'm crying. I'm crying and crying. I'm weeping. Really a great deal. This is going to be definitely one of the most anticipated

things of my life. And that's what makes it special. And if Miyamoto's oh my god, we have to talk about this. So this is the deal. On the twelve day co Culture it February four, down the pipe into Superendo World. They made it a theme park, y'all. They

made they made they made Nintendo a theme park. Girl, If you haven't seen the video of Miyamoto, the man behind some of the greatest video games of all time, name another legend, Name another legend, walking into this theme park in Universal Studios in Japan and showing you the functions of the bracelet that you can use to tap blocks to get coins, mama, to go to Bowser's castle and to peach his castle, to go get a meal, and to have a lot of little toads in the

kitchen making food, screaming so cute. Girl. Wait, let's let's let's literally break it down. Okay, this is, yeah, a theme park land in Universal Studios, Japan, which is coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Universal Studios Orlando at some point. But if you are a mariold person, a video game person, a Nintendo person at all, and like

are interested in that world? Actualized girl. This video shows him walking in and you look up at like the landscape, like like you you're basically in it like a video game. You see like that mountain and at the end, at the top there's a flag pole. Yoshi's in existance. All the little Yoshi's are popping around, the blocks are everywhere. It's you walk in allegedly, and it's truly even beyond Wizarding Worlds of Harry Potter what they did with Theme Barks.

With that, this feels more immersive. It's crazy because it's just scale found dead, found dead and gone. Sorry we even brought her up when you mentioned their wrist bands, Like you can buy a wristband. Of course, you gotta buy it, of course, but you basically hit a block. I don't know how that's going to work with COVID, but that's what you do. You hit a block and you get coins on your wrist band that I think you can sort of trade in for a prize later.

It's like an active amusement park, theme park Land. That is Nintendo genius. I mean, there's they came in with a New Yorker interview this week with him talking about how like this is like the culmination of all of his work. It's beautiful and he is truly known as like one of like the nicest people in the industry. He like, like everyone like sort of like rags on nintended for being like for kids and stuff, and that the games aren't violent and all that and a lot

of stuff. But like his but his whole philosophy around like making video games and making these immersive interactive experiences is that it's like it should be that it should encourage the idea that the world should be a kinder place. That's literally, like verbatim, like what he's saying in this interview. Everyone should check it out in The New Yorker. And also even Bowser is funny. Bowser. I mean you play some of the video games, some like the non mainline

Mario games, and it's like Bowser's a sympathetic character. Like everyone like no one is like truly fully evil, and it's like, I don't know, I mean Nintendo games like have really raised us all in a way. Absolutely any any there's so many games, there's guarantee there's a Nintendo game unless you're a full, full, full fanatic. There's a Nintendo game that you haven't played that yet that you should. I just thought Matt Rodgers a Nintendo switch. I'm encouraging

to play the classics. He should play the classics. He should play. They have the Mario three D All Stars where they it's Mario sixty four, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, which is my favorite of this, which is the one you talked about it the other day with Rosalina sling. Yeah with Rosalina. Yes, have to play. I'm gonna be crying harder than I am now, which is hard harder that you're very crying, very hard now, but you will cry harder. But you have to play

like Breath of the Wild. Readers, if you've played Breath of the Wild, you must beautifully bully Matt Rodgers into playing Breath of the Wild, one of the best video games ever made. And Nintendo. And this is all Nintendo, This is all Miamoto, this is all him. Like he's responsible for like alcarenive time and for like you know, like all these things like oh, he's truly like one of the most like virtuosic people who has ever lived. I'm telling you, he's like fucking he's like he's like,

he's a genius. He is a true is a visionary. Let's just say that. I mean Picasso, he's but he's like no one, no one else has done what he has done with video games. Okay, he is a visionary for sure. And also I love the world that he creates. And as a kid, I always loved the humor and I always really appreciated the humor. And I actually when you have to flip through the dialogue, I always loved it. I was that kid when I would fall on the ground, I would say that. I would say that's that's smart.

I would say, ouch, that's smart because like the kids like I think Bowser said that one time in like Mario party, and I thought I to say rubbish. I used to use the word rubbish because of that, and Harry Potter like trust me like these where it's true they did raise me in a way, and honestly it's it's like an influence. But that Donkey Kong I did play. You don't know this, but I did play Zeldo when I was a kid because I was so obsessed with

the Nintendo culture. Outside of that, I mean, Mario Kart is your standard forever, and let's just say to jump off that really quick. You know that the main ride in Supernintendo is Mario Kart Bowser's Challenge. It's called Koopa's Challenge in Japan because that's what Bowser is called in Japan, kopa Um. But literally it's a racing. It's a state of the art. I'm so excited, state of the art dark ride, which is basically if you can picture, like what cars is um when it goes inside, it's a

it's like and it's like the Haunted Mansion. That's a dark ride. Harry Potter in the Forbidden Journey, that's a dark ride. Any ride that's indoors. Yes, But isn't that perfect because Bowser's Castle and all the Mario kar games is a dark ride. So the scenes are the different levels. So basically it starts out at Bowser's Castle on the outside that the entrance to the ride is a huge Bowser's Castle, and then you go in up this huge

staircase and you see this big Bowser there. You walk past all the cups, like the Star Cup, the mushroom cup, all those things, and then you get on and it's sort of like, um, it's a racing ride, so there's two cars going at the same time, and you wear augmented reality glasses, not three D glasses, augmented reality like on Instagram what Instagram filter uses, So you wear those

and that's how the animations pop up throughout. So because this is true, we probably can't even get videos of what it looks like because no videos are gonna be able to get into the damn. So it's gonna be new for everyone when they do it, and every yes, so every scene is a level and of course it ends at Rainbow Road, and I'm telling you this is going to be I mean the what theme park rides have been able to do in terms of immersion, Like if you ever go to univer solor Disney like the

Newer Ship, it's truly wild. I know, it's like tacky because they're huge corporations and we joke about it all the time, but like it is fun as fuck, and um, we have never seen I don't think like a meeting of theme park ride and just concept in terms of what's already out there in media. Meet then Mario Kart the ride. I mean, who doesn't want to literally play Mario Kart. It's genius, It's gonna be psycho. I cannot wait, And I would love to go to the experience anywhere

in the world. I would be like, here's the thing when COVID clears up, because I've been saying I wanted to go to Asia anyway, but like I would, I would flat out go to Universal Studios Japan because they also have They still they're the last theme park Universal that has the original Future Now they have the original Jaws ride, So I mean that that just to do that one more time would be such a cultural moment in my life because I am that big of a nerd.

I want everyone to understand that is as deep as it goes for any human being. Is the theme park ship. I have these videos that I watched on YouTube. You guys would not believe the ship that I spend my timeline. Like I watched this thing Defunct Land, which is about

all the old rides that's really fun. But then I watched like daily construction videos, like I'm up to date on what's happening like across the globe and theme parks it's a really weird hobby that I'm being vulnerable about in sharing right now, Darling DearS, we are we are,

we all accept this, don't you can feel vulnerable? But I follow this Twitter called at bio reconstruct, which is literally that it's like them posting about like what the progresses on the Velocity coaster and Universal Studios, which is the big Jurassic World roller coaster that's coming out next year, which looks also absolutely insane. What are you so excited about coming up besides oh my god, Tron coming to

the Magic Kingdom. I mean you've also done Tron. You did it in in Disney in China and there was at Hong Kong, Shanghai, Shanghai. Um, but incredible. I mean that's gonna be very exciting. Also, the Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster they're putting in Epcot. It's like a huge building. It's like a launched family coaster. I don't know what that means, but it said it's apparently going to be the quote unquote most advanced storytelling coaster in

the world. Like that, it's gonna be like you have like Dark Ride story elements, but be a legit roller coaster. So there's a lot of cool stuff happening. It's just on pause, of course, but it'll be there when the door is opened again, once the magic is brought back. Yes, So phase two of the Superintendent World project is a Donkey Kong roller coaster, which for me is like that hits my prostate hard because I was really a Donkey

Kong kid. Oh so you're gonna be rolling down a damn barrel, baby on on on on a loose ray. Maybe watch me plumb bended in the air. Oh watch me, watch me. And by the way, the roller coaster is supposed to jump the rails, so that's a thing. Oh like the girl. They have the technology to at least make it look like that's what's happening. Oh my god. I whatever they do with Zelda once that ride comes out,

I will cry. I will cry. I've seen some concept art that's like that's like a theater in the round show where the seats move based around in like a three sixty fashion and they can go up and below each other that all center around some a show that's happening in the center of the stage and it's themed to Zelda. So like it's like carousel progress. No, well yes, but the actually go around each other and like like

it's like a and not. It's like a three dimensional almost like um seater in the round show, like like one one group of seats will go this way and then the other will go under under it. Yeah, yeah, so basically like it. It could in a circle switch it's arrangement or like your p o V. I bet you it will be like a time travel component or like light world dark world thing that that Zelda always does. Oh that that'll be one to go see. That's just

the rumor I heard for that one. And then of course by proxy of all this, they also owned Pokemon, so there's probably going to be a Pokemon thing put into the theme parks as well, once they can get their footing and put the money into it. But yeah, lots of stuff. And also I was a crazy Pokemon kid.

You and I have not talked enough about Pokemon. You have you have a slumbering gamer and deeply like like when my mother would punish me, when she would come in and say you punished, it was because I was like late to dinner because of video games, and she would always take video games away. It was always what I lost for two days when I was being bad, Oh my god, because I was addicted to it. You're punished,

you know what, you punished. Pokemons a thing though that I think they can either nail or it's it's it's it's a binary thing. They can either nail it or they can suck it up really badly, and they have it fully not realized that the potential of the franchise or just look stupid, like the thing is like you should put money into the audio, animatronics of it all for those things to like imagine like I don't know,

like a majestic birds thing, you know what. I would love a concept of a ride which is like you have to go like capture the majestic birds and like that was like the thing because birds absolutely rock. And also there's something really intriguing to me about the fact that no one can catch them, Like I love that about the Pokemon lore when I was like playing them, that no one owned them, and I was very into

the cards. One time I lost my Pokemon cards and I was depressed for eight months and then we found them in a closet insane. The cards were a moment. Cards were a familiar moment. Did you keep those little counters, those counterbeats because it was mostly a collector's thing because there were very few people who would actually play you in a Pokemon Well, no, I never played I obviously. Like the competitive thing about it to me was the

trading of it all. Like I would get into legit fights with kids at school and one time I got into a bad fight with my cousin Michael because I had to venosaurs and he had a Blast Toys and I was like, he had one Blast toys and I was like, if I give you my venostar, can I get your Blast toys? And he did it. And then my aunt told me later because he had been crying because he made a huge mistake and a bad trade. And I was like, he did make a bad trade, but he but we did it and we said no

tradebacks and or no take backs or whatever. And I was just like thinking the other day, what an insane thing that was, Like it was a verbal contract, and Elaine and you were abiding. Can I say, I'm gonna say the most beautiful holographic card and it's not what you think it is. Chars was not a beauty, was not an aesthetically a beautiful card. No, honestly, it's it is the most iconic, but it's not the most beautiful.

It's not the most beautiful, like like the one was like there to like punch you in the face and be like, hey, bitch, I have a p The power and the rarity of it all and the novelty, yes, but the most beautiful, beautiful holographic card was in fact it was such a such a gorgeous color blue, silver, blue, yeah, part of the ocean vibes. Yeah, it was really really great. You know what I always like I thought was a

striking card was the zap Does. I was like, this one really gets it across, like you are this like you are electrical bird, we stand electrical bird. Well, first of all, I'm looking at on eBay, Blast Choice is going for five hundred dollars. Zapts is going for one forty. Unfortunately, I would get a char's yard of blast toys and a Vina Saur and I would frame that in my house and put it on the goddamn like in your current home. Yes, I would do that. That's that's sort

of what's starting to happen right now with my aesthetic. Anyways, I've just thrown any whole thing on the wall. I know, because I do not have taste, but I would put that on the wall. To me is a conversation to get for Christmas, girl, conversation piece I know, to get you for next year's Christmas. Remember, so this is sort of getting into Pokemon culture. But I do have a crazy question I have to ask you, which is this? Did you have Pokemon Red or Blue? I had Blue? Okay,

I had read interesting difference between us. Red is red was top? Blue is bottom? Interesting that I believe that to be true, which is, of course how we always sort of. That's that's very mad, and that's the binary binary. But what would you choose as your starter? Would you choose a squirrel? Would you choose a bulbosare? Or would you choose Charmander? I did not make this rule until much later I had I had multiple play throughs of Blue.

First play through, I decided to go with Charles. Struggle through those first huge Yeah, really hard in the beginning, which is why I never pick it. First three gyms you could Charmander did nothing against rock, nothing against water, nothing against electric Brock. Missy, Lieutenant Surge, Lieutenant Surge, who, by the way, hot, but then Daddy and Brock too.

Misty even I mean Missy was hot. Brock and Missy, thetention was really thick, and honestly it was very Harry Ron Harmiony where you kind of knew that it was Harry was not. It was very the Ron and Hermione sexual moment. But listen, I think canonically in the anime slash manga, Misty and Ash were supposed to end up like the romance was between Missy and Ash. I think Brock a lot of people have projected like some queerness onto which I don't mind. I won't love that. Actually

Ash seems the gayest to me. But anyway, well then I was just gonna say that. Since then, on my plate throughs, they've always chosen usually I have always chosen the water types. So I did play with Squirtle, Pokemon Silver, I chose Chicker Rita. Then I restarted and shows Cyndi Quill, and then I restarted again. In shows like Silver is regarded as maybe the best of the of the games, and I kind of am inclined to agree because you're able to go to multiple lands and get total sixteen badges.

But I played all three of the starters in silver. But I'm sorry to answer your original question. I started with Trimander and then on another playthrough had Squirtle, so I always was gravitating towards Squirtle first in the beginning. Um and I did. Obviously I beat. I beat the game very successfully with Blast Noises like as my number one. Then I had maybe my most successful game at that point with the Venosaur. Venosaur gets insanely good towards the end.

But I'll tell you this. I don't know how this happened, but my most memorable play through of Pokemon read the time I remember how mean the most fun with it because I just crushed. Guess what my number one, like Chief Attack Pokemon was number one in my roster ar back, it was primate Primate. I was killing and I was obviously fucking holes because I was just primate. I don't know what it was. I was being such a top.

I was a little top punching you were a little top. Meanwhile, I was over here with my Wiggly Tough doing thunder shock on all of these little horrors. I live for you, Queen, Wiggly Tough and cliffable. You could not tell you. I couldn't have enough moonstones, Honey, put them on the jigglely

puff and the cliff arey. It is peak bow and Yang to beat the game of Pokemon with a wiggly tough That are a cliff able, That is that, as they say, rocks the three from first gen cliffable, wiggly tough Chancy, Your pink tanks, your pink heavy tanks who could learn multiple moves. Lilis fair, Lilith Fair. Multitudinous girls who studied who were able to raise her call me doctor four degrees. They have all they all have four degrees. Four degrees. I'm like, I'm like coming in there, like,

fucking dude. That's fucking fight dude. I am giving you prime ape, prime ape. Who else did you have to remember? Oh my god, I fucked it up with a charres ard. Once I sucked it up the three beginning types, I would just build them so strong that they were just monsters at the end. So it's usually them, but I'm telling you the outlier. I got a man key at some point and then it turned it and ended up turning into a primate. And I was just like this Girl is going to take me all the way. And

she did. Girl the Hall of Fame. She with her met bracelets, she was she had jewelry, she had jew lory. But to bring it back to Mario for a second. Another Mario game that I was obsessed with was the Mario RPG on Supernintendo yesh Conic. Incredible storytelling. I never beat it. I always got to the end with that huge beast, the like cloud or whatever fighting and I was just like, I can never beat this, always got

to the end. You need to play RPGs more. You're probably right, guess what you are a fucking horror for storytelling. I mean, you're right, you would love you would love some of these games. Oh my god, Maybe this is the year. Maybe that's one of my resolutions, is this is going to be the year that I sort of dive into the RPG of it all, Like you're missing It's truly like I feel like bunching Hoe telling people I feel you're disappointed in me. Sometimes I'm not disappointed

in you. I'm not disappointed you. I just feel like bunking Hope telling people to like watch movies with subtitles. I'm like, play some of these video games, y'all the story you're missing out on and didn't they tell you? And dramatic writing too, like I don't know at they really didn't, They really didn't, they didn't. I felt like I felt like a lot of screenwriting programs at the time were just like guys like the Next Frontiers video

games and it's not something I recollect. No, really okay, because but they're right, Yeah, I'm playing a lot of catch up. I'm playing some old, old, old quote unquote stuff like I'm playing The Last of Us for the first time. Still, it's it's taking me months, but it's like incredible storytelling it. It feels like it's, oh my god, Matt.

It's like Eric Gerson. I remember on the way on the way back from the Story Pirates show, was like it's the Citizen Kane of games like this, the storytelling anyway, it was a very Eric person, like we love him to death, we love I mean, well, he gets all this stuff, Like he gets all this stuff. He can he can give you some guidance. He gets Like what I mean by gets all this stuff is he gets

the stuff. The podcast talks about my one of my favorites, trait man, I've ever met love and a talent capital, damn talents, Sissy's baby, here's the fucking deal. Um, I could talk about this for hours and we may have to just this might be a sort of like true like we're ending this year because this is the last episode of the year on the highest point, which is a realization that the twelve Day of Culture was this super Nintendo wild coming to us because of what it

meant to each of us. And honestly, the shop top we just did about Pokemon gameplay, Mama, that is a world uncovered. If you didn't hit pause or open up a YouTube app or something else in the middle of that conversation. Thank you for sticking with us. I think it's going to touch some girls. I think some girls are gonna feel and I think I'm going to see some girls pop in Pokemon red or blue. I think I'm gonna see some girls who maybe get the step

in. In In terms of revisiting, you know, the all the dolls, the ash Blast toys, Miss Charm tours are if you want to release it that you download Pokemon. Let's let's go Evy or let's go Pikachu, because it's just Pokemon. Running blue, but remain into three D anyway we can. We're done talking about this reader, Thank you so much for embarking on this journey with us. What a year, what a year. We love you guys to the depths.

I mean, this was just feel that this was our favorite year collectively, all episodes taken into account of Lost Culture, that this was our favorite year of doing it, which is crazy, but we felt like every episode we had fun. And let's just talk about my heart. Let's just talk about all of our incredible people there. I mean, Anna, let's give it up for you. Get up for Anna, hot engineer, Doug Dog hot engineer Doug. We have hot

producer Anna, hot engineer Doug. I was going to call him out for, you know, not caring for you know, some of our favorite vocalists. But now and then of course we have hot head of content Hans. Let's just let's just give up. Who came up with the idea for twelve bays of Culture and he and that straight man needs credit and we give him the credit. And of course the big money players network Will Farell, you

are our father, god father God. We love you. Will Farell, we love you, and and of course my sister, my sister, of course, my sister, my joy, my joy. I love you more and more each year because a friendship that has endless, endless, endless depths to it. Well, I'm sorry to see you every week each and every weekend. It's to now find out that there's still places to go, which is niche Pokemon gameplay speak. You always learn when you're talking to a friend. You are always learn when

you're talking to a friend. You always learn when you're talking to a friend, you always learn you're talking to friends. And that's how we ended I don't think we ended on on dieto this time. That's the lesson from the Twelve Days of culture, and this applies to everybody. You always learn when you're talking to a friend, thank you for being ours, and that being said, ah, thank you for giving me that coo. S We opted up like it's an American Idol finale? Have we rarely stand up by next thing?
