Ever tried to train your dog to fetch snacks or master the dark art of folding a fitted sheet? You’re not alone! Join us, Jim, Keith, and I, as we laugh our way through New Year's resolutions that rarely make it past January. We kick off the episode by sharing light-hearted reflections on resolutions and amusing New Year's trivia, while steering clear of divisive topics. Our holiday anecdotes include hilarious eggnog escapades and a debate over the merits of holiday drinks like Bloody Marys versus Canada's Caesar cocktail. It's a celebration of humorous mishaps and festive cheer as we toast to the New Year.
Who knew that a simple 1% improvement each day could lead to a healthier lifestyle? Forget overwhelming resolutions—let's keep it fun and manageable. Our chat takes a turn for the better as we explore small changes for health and the joy of personal growth. From disconnecting from toxic news cycles to embracing healthier eating habits, we promise a refreshing take on self-improvement. Amidst the serious talk, there’s plenty of humor as we ponder peculiar resolutions and celebrate the joy in small victories.
Take a global journey with us as we explore the world's quirkiest New Year's traditions that you won't believe really happen. From the hilarity of Germany's "Dinner for One" to Spain’s grape-eating ritual, and even Denmark's plate-smashing antics, each tradition offers a delightful glimpse into diverse cultures. We venture into Romanian bear costumes and Japanese soba noodles, all while sharing laughs and cultural insights. As we wrap up, we reflect on New Year's themes in pop culture and share our plans for an exciting break before returning with fresh content. So, grab your party hats and join the celebration!

These subjects are depressingand start major conflicts

Speaker 2 (02:22):
And also he's been on the show for the last several
weeks helping us out and addinga new flair to this, talking
about Keith Mackey.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Hello everybody.
Hope you had a great Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So this is the last show of 2024,.
Guys, how was your guys'Christmas?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
It was very pleasantly uneventful.
Another one you said nothingcrazy happened.
It was it was very pleasantlyuneventful.
Another one you said nothingcrazy happened.
It was very mellow.
We did our thing and I couldn'thave asked for anything any
better.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Nice, nice.
How about you, Jeff?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Pretty much good too.
I mean, like Keith said, theolder you get, the more you just
want everything to go smoothand no fighting and no food get
thrown against the wall ornothing bad happen.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The big question is I'm sure people are going to ask
because I'm wondering Jimmy andeggnog, we good this year?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We have the eggnog and we're going to make sure for
New Year's that he just has alittle bit.
No, he's not going to be downin like 10, 5 or 10 glasses
perking an all night.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Then he's throwing up perking all night or all
morning and I haven't had eggdog in so long man it.
It makes me want to have some.
But what was the drink thatpeople used to put in it?
Or rum?
Is it rum?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Rum.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Southern Comfort, I think.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, southern Comfort makes it, so they make
the hard alcohol kind.
Yeah, all right?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I was always wondering because I was like man
, I hate rum.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
There's always a drink for you.
You just got to find it, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Mine's Bloody Mary, but I very well can't mix that
with the eggnog, that BloodyMary but I very well can't mix
that with the eggnog.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That would be gross.
Sometimes you could look at theinternet has old recipes from
like olden times, like arevolutionary war.
I think George Washington had amixture for some eggnog in
there that people make.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I mean, if that makes the Bloody Mary, it'd be like
Bloody Mary's eggs.
You know that'd be.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh, now you're getting gross.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Kind of, I know, man, that's what I'm saying.
So did you guys get anythingexciting?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
For the Canadians.
I do believe they would be theCaesar, though Right, I know
it's not the same thing, but theCaesar is very popular in
Canada.
I know that, and I will saythat some of the versions of the
caesar that they drink to me isabsolutely disgusting you know,
I, I love, love.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Bloody mary is spicy, extra spicy, uh, with gray
goose.
But they do drink it becausethey use club model juice up
there instead of tomato juice.
That's's what makes the Caesara Caesar.
But everything else is like theBloody Mary, except they use
like horseradish.
And it's gross, man, it lookslike styrofoam floating around
(05:15):
in there.
No, and you drink.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That's nasty.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And then they use, like dill, pickle juice.
And I'm not trying to do allthat stuff, man, just give a
vodka juice.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Sounds like a dare contest.
Hey, try that pickle juice inthere, try that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Oh, they love it, though, they love it.
I was at a restaurant calledBoston's up there and and they
gave me the bloody Caesar.
And God, it was awful man.
It was the first drink that Iever said I don't want this, and
the bartender's, like youordered it, and now I gotta
(05:55):
drink it fast and be drunk.
So, uh, because when I don'tlike something, I have to slam
it oh yeah, yeah, they soundterrible, guys.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
They sound terrible.
That's good.
Anything exciting, um, I don'tknow, I don't know if anything I
would call exciting.
You know, definitely some usefulstuff for everything oh, I'm
trying to think of what I evengot.
Oh, I could say I definitelygot something exciting.
Uh, my mother-in-law and mysister-in-law got together and
(06:27):
they have a sublimation printerthat they do sort of like the
way I do with the t-shirts, butthey made me a t-shirt of me and
my boy Dally, over here, kindof like hugged up, and it's got.
You know what I mean.
So that's pretty neat.
That was definitely one of myfavorite things I got.
That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Right on, pretty neat that was.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That was definitely one of my favorite things I got.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That was pretty cool, right on.
Right on, how about you, jim?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
um, I got some uh duke cannon that soap, the real
big bricks, yeah, yeah, and someuh beard like beard wash stuff
and just some basic guy stuff,not really over the top stuff I
got uh like the beard scruffcream and and then the beard oil
, and then you go outside in thefreezing temperature and it
feels like somebody's pullingyour beard Cause, like it
hardens up and you're like shit,I don't want to break it, man.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I'm sorry.
Have either of you guys everworked in a freezer?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
So you know that feeling of when your nostrils
freeze up, when you go throughinto that absolute cold, the
eyebrows and whatnot.
Well, one time I was uh goingthrough on one of them, uh
driving what do you call it?
The pallet jacks that you rideon, and when it went through the
curtain a piece of dust gotinto my eye and it made my eye
tear and as soon as it startedto tear up, it froze shut, oh my
(07:46):
.
So I had to like ride thatpallet jack around all these, um
, you know these aisles andwhatnot, to get back out and
then get to the bathroom and getsome cold water to pour on my
eye because my eye was frozenshut, oh my God.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, we used to have these uh reefer vans in, uh in
the army, and it was in Africaand we used to keep them, reefer
vans in the Army, and it was inAfrica and we used to keep them
real cold, man, and we'd keepthe pop in there and the water
(08:20):
and we'd always give theSomalians water.
And they kept bugging me, man,and they were asking about pop
and some know, some of themcould speak English and then we
had the Mountain Dew in there.
So I told him that he can goinside Got to remember it, don't
get cold there, you know.
So I told him to go inside, man, and he, he like stepped a
couple of feet in man and he'slike starts shaking real bad,
(08:42):
like he was convulsed.
I'm like, damn dude, you dude,hurry up and get it man.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So this body is used to his temperature outside and
then he goes to an environmentthat his body is not used to.
I'm sure he's going to spaz out.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
And it was relaxed.
You got to think that his bodywas relaxed when he walked in.
You know you tense up beforeyou get in the cold.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He didn't know to do that, yeah you know like the
temperature there was like 120in the in the daylight and and
gab, you got all the the flakjackets on their uniform and
you're working over the stovesand it's really hot, and then at
night and we're just freezingtheir ass off, man, like bad.
(09:24):
You look at the thermometer andit's 80.
It's jeez.
It's because it fell 40 degrees, man.
But yeah, in the reefer van man, I think we kept the reefer at
like 42 degrees.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
It was nice and cool in there.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Now we're talking reefer, like the same reefer,
I'm thinking right, refrigerateduh, container sign.
Yeah, we're not talking aboutless, we're not talking about
that.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Three he wasn't part of that part of the army.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He was part of the yeah, okay the other reefer part
when you're talking thatpharmaceutical grade and then,
uh, for christmas I got uh, alot of uh seasonings to cook
with, uh, uh by meat churchwho's uh who's got a lot of
videos online and I tried it outtoday one of them, and it's
(10:18):
pretty good.
And then I got a uh like a flattop grill, you know, for
indoors, so people just want meto cook eggs and pancakes on
them, and so maybe you can docommercials for them and they
can give us products, or yougive you products and stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
There you go.
I'll do Duke Cannon and then,uh, keith's got to think of a
company that he wants to promote.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, who wants to give me the free chili dogs?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I like Ducan man.
Their soap lasts a little bit.
You know what I mean.
They're like three times thesize of a regular bar soap and
if somebody threw that at you itwould hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And it's for the same price as a lot of other
companies' little ones, yeah,and it's for the same price of
the other company's little ones.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, like I, I I got some Sasquatch, dr Squatch, uh
soap and that's decent too, butit ain't the size of Duke cannon

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Welcome back.
So every year, millions ofpeople make resolutions for the
start of the new year on how tobetter themselves or setting
personal goals for themselves.
What have you guys done?
And for like 2024, have youkept any resolutions?
Do you believe in resolutionsor what do you guys got going on
(13:37):
?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I like kind of the idea of a resolution, but not
necessarily if it involves somekind of drastic change, because
that never works out.
You know what I mean Like if ifit involves some kind of
drastic change, because thatnever works out.
You know what I mean Like ifyou figure, if you try to change
, like maybe 1% a day, littlenudges at a time, as opposed to
anything like a major 180, man,that's just, it's usually asking
for failure and you don't want,and it usually asks for failure
(14:01):
right off the bat, man, and youdon't want to do that to
yourself, you know.
So maybe, like I said, smallchanges, you know what I mean
small things, little tiny nudgesat a time, you know right,
right.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That's how I feel about this show.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Just a little bit one percent a day I usually don't
like uh, I don't like makingresolutions, because when you
say them then people like try tohold you to them, like oh you,
oh, you're not doing this andthey're watching you and you're
like you know what?
Screw you, I'm trying, okay.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But mentally you can have them in your head and not
tell anybody you know.
So like how many have you keptfrom like the beginning of the
year to now?
I've gone zero.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I've just done little improvements over the through
the year that I said I was goingto try to do.
I'm trying to eat better andwhat really read what's on the
packages and ingredients ofstuff, and I've been like
refusing to buy and eat stuff,and even for our house I've been
saying, no, I'm not going tobuy that, we don't need, that,
that has junk in it or this biglong word is really sugar in
disguise or like bad for you.
So I'm trying to eat better andjust, uh, stay active and
(15:11):
healthy.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
That's about it you know, with caroline getting sick
for diabetes, we're reallyreading up on the the
ingredients and so we go forlike no sugar and low carbs.
Yeah, try to eat healthier.
You know I still eat like afreaking horse man.
You know, like I can have alunch with me taking it to work,
(15:34):
and then I'll drive byMcDonald's and all that and I
still go, man and get food fromthere, even though my lunch is
right next to me.
You know, like I started out atthe gym, I got a gym membership
for like three years and I'vegone like a couple times this
year and I'm like, well, Ishould cancel.
(15:55):
And then I'm like, nah, don'tcancel it, fat ass, Get going on
the gym.
So the gym will work out, notthe gym on the host.
So, uh, the gym, the workout,not the gym.
Uh, on the host.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Uh.
So Another one is uh, I I haveis, uh, pretty much that I've
hit the big landmark birthday isthat I just don't really let
stuff get to me anymore, Likeworrying about people's feelings
and caring and like or notcaring, but going out of my way
to worry about and stress aboutstuff.
It's just that you're at thatage You're like I don't care,
I'm not going to worry about you, I'm going to take care of
(16:30):
myself and my family and I can.
Politics are trying to scareyou in TV.
I said I don't need none ofthat stuff, I don't care.
I've had people at work yellingme like you didn't hear about
this in the news or this goingon.
I'm like no, they're likeeverybody in the world's talking
about this.
I'm like I don't know about it.
Man, you're really doingyourself a favor, man.
Yeah, so this stress puts somuch negativity and junk on your
(16:52):
body and it ages you like crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't need that you know, I like going in on social
media or people are justconstantly bickering, you know,
about the presidency, who this,who that, or the Pope did this.
The Pope, you know what I mean.
And then I love when it's likea big, big chain of fighting,
(17:15):
and then I'll say like I'll sendmy message, like, hey, I lost
my keys.
Man, has anybody seen them inthere, you know, and it kind of
like breaks things up just for asecond and all of a sudden
everybody trolls up on me.
This ain't funny.

Every country celebrates NewYear's differently, with
different traditions, and I know, jim, you said you had some
(21:50):
from Sweden For our Swedishlisteners out there.
We want to celebrate with youand name off some of your stuff
and traditions.
And I got other countries'traditions.
And, jim, what did you find outabout Sweden?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
About Sweden.
They have one called WatchingDinner for One which is since
1980, since 1980, it's a.
It's a video that they have ontelevision.
It's the, the countess and thebutler.
Pretty much this uh rich 90year old count, uh countress
(22:30):
like uh, she's all alone havinguh with the butler and she's
having dinner or something byherself and the butler is
pretending to be differentpeople at the party for her and
he's pretty much drinking fourdifferent drinks, getting
drunker and drunker with thewhole thing, and it's pretty
funny video.
I haven't watched it yet thatsounds.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I watched after Jim sent that to me.
I uh, I turned it on.
I found it.
It's only 10 minutes long.
It's short.
It is pretty funny.
It reminds me a little bit ofold slapstick comedy.
The butler did an amazing job.
I just sent Keith the link toit so he got it.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right.
Because I know he's going towonder.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
They also have one called the Reciting of the Poem.
They read a poem right beforeNew Year's and they try to time
it to where it ends on the NewYear countdown.
It's called Ring Out Wild Bells.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Ring Out Wild Bells.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, it's in that article I sent you.
Read all of it.
Well, I couldn't read the it.
Read all of it.
Well, I didn't.
I couldn't read the.
It was in small print, I didn'thave to zoom it and stuff.
I'll have to look it up later.
And then they have the lightingof the sky, which is the
fireworks that they have on NewYear's Eve.
And then they have anothertradition called the throwing of
the shoes, and I guess I don'tknow if it's at the countdown or
(23:56):
something, but they throw shoesat the door, everybody there
and if the shoe lands facing thedoor, the front of the shoe to
the face of the door, it'seither good luck or they're
going to be lucky enough totravel somewhere nice or
something in the new year.
And then, of course, the finalone I saw was the listening of
the song, which is I don't knowif it's so much a tradition, but
(24:19):
it's.
Some people said they'restarting to have a tradition of.
It is at the band ABBA singinghappy new year.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
They have a song right on, and I was also doing
some research on other countrieswhen you sent me to Sweden.
How about, in Spain, eating 12grapes at midnight, one for each
time of the clock, to bringgood luck for the year?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I can't stop on 12 grapes, man.
So is that?
I'm a gluten?
I just sit and keep eatinggrapes, man, they're healthy.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, let's hope they don't get drunk and then they
choke on them.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
How do you guys feel about this one?
It's in Denmark, smashingplates on your neighbor's
doorsteps to show affection andfriendship.
That pisses me off.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Well, as long as you're the one showing up to
clean it, it'd be okay.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But if everybody liked you and everybody just was
emptying out their hodge anddestroying every plate and you
go out to get the paper in themorning and you're barefoot,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
There was another one in Denmark.
Did you read the other one?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
No air flight.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
yeah, there was another one in denmark.
Did you read the other one?
No, it was the uh, the jumpingoff of chairs.
At parties, the people tryjumping off chairs in unison
with the at the midnight tocount down and the symbol of
jumping forward into the newyear in denmark.
So could you imagine you'rethrowing plates around the place
and you're jumping off thechairs.
(25:58):
You're going to you're going toland in some broken glass and
dishes.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're going to slide on it and fall down and bust
your ass and get all cut up.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Or everybody's drunk on chairs.
Yeah, they're drunk on chairsand they jump off three, two,
one.
And then like how many peoplehave broken or twisted their
ankles and stuff at the midnight?
It may explain the woodenfootwear of the of the reason
everybody's screaming ateverybody else's chair and they
don't know you broke your leghow about this one?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
guys uh in columbia carrying an empty suitcase
around the block to ensure ayear full of travel?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
yeah, I heard that one, oh nice.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So I got me a couple suitcases.
I got to pack up and go aroundthe block because Canada's
coming back up on me.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I like day travel.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
See, I like rolling out at midnight, 1 o'clock, when
there ain't no traffic and justgo.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
No, I meant day travel as far as I'm still
coming home that night oh, Igotcha, got ya.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Uh, I mean, man, I'm only gone for like less than 24
hours and I'm back home after athousand miles yeah, I would say
that is a different definitionfor you.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Huh, a day travels a thousand miles.
Yeah, fuck it right.
Yeah, why not?
But still, dude, that's likethat's a great story.
So you, that was you know.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You know that was fun I met some cool people, man.
I'm glad my transmission didn'tgo out on me up there.
That too, that would have beenan issue.
How about this tradition in thephilipp Wearing polka dots and
surrounding yourself with roundobjects to attract prosperity?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Sounds okay.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Dusty Rhodes would have had it made in the WWE huh.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Speaking of everything if it didn't have.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
So you gotta yeah they found one in uh, south
africa.
They throw old furniture outthe window in south africa yeah,
and it says uh, watch your headit's supposed to bid farewell
to old and embrace the new, youthrow out old furniture.
Uh, it's crazy.
(28:14):
You walk in the walk on thesidewalk trying to get home and
there's furniture, dodgingfurniture well, I've been winds.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
If you're 20 stories up now, yeah, I don't need this
refrigerator, no more.
Throw the whirlpool out, uh,okay, how about, in chile,
spending new year's eve in acemetery to celebrate with
deceased loved ones?
I know there are places thatdig up their loved ones every
year and change their clothesand let them have a smoke.
(28:44):
What, wait what?
They even light the cigarettefor them.
No, no, no, no.
I'll send you the video.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Oh my God.
No, I don't want to watch it.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
They may take the families, take pictures with
them, send you the video oh myGod, no, I don't want to watch
it.
You may take the families.
The families take pictures withthem and they change the
clothes.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
You got nothing else to do in your country but
digging up your relatives andredressing them.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And if everybody's doing it, it's got to be a party
in the cemetery it is.
It's a life celebration when isthis at again, it's somewhere
in south america.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
I'll send you the video they need to get some
internet over there or somethingthere's.
You could be been wasting yourtime doing other stuff.
Speaker 4 (29:26):
You could be listening to us wow, indeed they
could, for the debut of akaradio, debut of FBKE Radio.
Speaker 2 (29:36):
Woo-hoo.
Plus, how about Scotland Firstfooting?
We're the first person to enterthe home after midnight.
Brings gifts like coal orwhiskey for good fortune.
I mean, we don't need the coalright, unless it's cold.
Bring the whiskey.
Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, and I think that if it's preferably inland
to have a dark-haired man whichcould bring uh luck if he comes
through your door, the first onethrough your door so your
cheating wife has her boyfriendsneak in and she's like it's
just good luck, honey betterhave gifts hands off the gifts
(30:16):
name.
Yeah, I got one.
In Switzerland, when they countdown to midnight on New Year's
Eve, everybody throws, drops icecream on the floor and it's
another mess you got to clean upand believe to bring abundance.
Good thing they're not thatclose to other people dropping
(30:38):
chairs or jumping off chairs andstuff that'd be interesting one
to combine there, jumping offthe chairs and dropping the ice
cream no, this one's not bad infrance, eating a stack of
pancakes to ensure a sweet yearahead there you go.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I am with that, I am with I may, I may implement that
one this year.
Sounds great.
Well yes, it's great right nowto be honest.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm making them in the morning, man, so head it out
.
Right, I got Ireland bangingbread against the walls to chase
away bad spirits and ensuregood luck.
Bang it by holding it in yourhand and smacking it on the wall
, not bang a bang.
Sure, good luck.
Bang it by holding it in yourhand and smacking it on the wall
, not bang-a-bang, not a circuitof pie banging.
Speaker 1 (31:20):
Smacking bread against the wall.
That's hilarious.
Get out Bansky.
It'd be Bansky.
Speaker 2 (31:27):
All right, this one's crazy man.
How about Estonia Eating up to12 meals in a day to ensure food
would never run out in the newyear?
Speaker 4 (31:36):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (31:39):
What are the ties of these meals?
I don't know, man.
It's like, oh god, I'm on theseventh meal and I got five more
to go but pigging out thatyou're eating the food that you
should be saving, shouldn't you?
Speaker 1 (31:48):
isn't that counterproductive?
Speaker 4 (31:50):
right, right, you would think what you got jim I
don't know if they're smallmeals, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I got another one in Ireland okay it's tradition.
To what old am I going to readit?
Put mistletoe under your pillow, and you put mistletoe,
mistletoe under your pillowbefore you fall asleep on new
year's eve, and legend has it itwill cause you to dream of your
(32:19):
future spouse when's if you'remarried already out with the old
.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
This is for single people that are desperate to get
to get hooked up oh, I wasgonna say, dude, I just got a
whole bushel of mistel.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I just got something on a belt buckle.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
There you go, you'll meet somebody then.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
How about in Argentina, wearing pink
underwear to attract love and tocome in here?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
That's a universal sign.
Yeah, here's one for Cuba.
They throw a bucket of waterout the door out the door on New
Year's.
That was pretty fun.
They pretty much they allgather around the bucket and
they put their negative energyand bad spirits in it from the
(33:08):
past 365 days and they toss themout the front door like dirty
water flying out so Turkey ifyou're the neighbor, don't be
coming by and you see buckets ofwater coming at you and they
toss them out the front doorlike dirty water flying out
Turkey.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
If you're the neighbor, don't be coming by and
you see buckets of water comingat you.
But when you set it up as a kidand you put like tarps down,
you know if you live on a hill,you know just jump on like a
water slide man.
Just wait there until everybodystarts tossing the water.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Do you guys have any relatives or do you yourselves
shoot, let off rounds on NewYear's?
My uncle Bob used to do that.
My uncle Bob used to do itevery year.
God rest his soul.
I miss that man so much.
He used to every when it was.
When it'd go midnight, he'd goright to the back, right out the
back door and he'd let somerounds off.
And I, you know, I know there'speople around here that do it
(33:58):
too.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I can't you know, hopefully they're not that close
but I wondered if maybe youguys knew anybody that did that
too I know in chicago in thenews, man, you, you hear like
the bullets when they go up,they got to come down and they
kill people, yeah.
So I mean, if you're shootingin the ground or sand, I I can
see it, but you're still goingto hit a rock, maybe, and
(34:19):
ricochet and shoot your eye out.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Uh, hobart's neighbor , uh, gary, indiana is very uh
every year on that, because whenwe were kids in the eighties we
used to, in seventies andeighties we used to spend the
night at my grandma's house andthat's, she'd tell you, we're in
Calumet Township, we're not inGary, but it's pretty much all
Gary.
So we would be out there and wewould get pots and pans and
(34:44):
we'd run out the house, yay,bang, bang, bang, banging pots
and pans, like little kids.
And all of a sudden it wouldsound, like you said, like a
whole artillery, just like boomand a whole artillery, just like
boom.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And we'd all just ah, we'd scream and run back in the
house, but pretty much garydoes that every year the closer
you get to the west side ofhobart, you pay to add the guns.
Speaker 4 (35:07):
They do that every day.
Oh, did they hit guys in thehead with machetes heck, yeah,
man.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
So I got just a couple more here, romania,
dressing as bears to chase awayevil spirits.
Watch, you're getting a bearcostume.

For instance, while there's isa star is good, and if there's a
(36:16):
cross shape with the core andthat it might tell that you have
a future illness coming oh wow,they bought enough.

the exception of two things wedon't talk religion and we don't
talk politics.
These subjects are depressingand start major conflicts
(01:46):
amongst people, and we aren'texperts, so we don't talk about
them.
You will get out of this alaugh or two, but no more than
three.
Welcome to the show.
And if you've been with us allyear or ever since we started,
welcome back.
We appreciate each and everyone of you guys.
(02:06):
So here we go, joining me.
As always, he's been like thebackbone of the Powers Point
podcast.
This year, I'm talking aboutJim.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Hello there.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
And also he's been on the show for the last several
weeks helping us out and addinga new flair to this, talking
about Keith Mackey.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
Hello everybody.
Hope you had a great Christmas.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
So this is the last show of 2024,.
Guys, how was your guys'Christmas?
Speaker 4 (02:40):
It was very pleasantly uneventful.
Another one you said nothingcrazy happened.
It was it was very pleasantlyuneventful.
Another one you said nothingcrazy happened.
It was very mellow.
We did our thing and I couldn'thave asked for anything any
better.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Nice, nice.
How about you, Jeff?
Speaker 1 (02:54):
Pretty much good too.
I mean, like Keith said, theolder you get, the more you just
want everything to go smoothand no fighting and no food get
thrown against the wall ornothing bad happen.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
The big question is I'm sure people are going to ask
because I'm wondering Jimmy andeggnog, we good this year?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
We have the eggnog and we're going to make sure for
New Year's that he just has alittle bit.
No, he's not going to be downin like 10, 5 or 10 glasses
perking an all night.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Then he's throwing up perking all night or all
morning and I haven't had eggdog in so long man it.
It makes me want to have some.
But what was the drink thatpeople used to put in it?
Or rum?
Is it rum?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Rum.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
Southern Comfort, I think.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, southern Comfort makes it, so they make
the hard alcohol kind.
Yeah, all right?
Speaker 2 (03:53):
I was always wondering because I was like man
, I hate rum.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
There's always a drink for you.
You just got to find it, yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
Mine's Bloody Mary, but I very well can't mix that
with the eggnog, that BloodyMary but I very well can't mix
that with the eggnog.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
That would be gross.
Sometimes you could look at theinternet has old recipes from
like olden times, like arevolutionary war.
I think George Washington had amixture for some eggnog in
there that people make.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
I mean, if that makes the Bloody Mary, it'd be like
Bloody Mary's eggs.
You know that'd be.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Oh, now you're getting gross.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
Kind of, I know, man, that's what I'm saying.
So did you guys get anythingexciting?
Speaker 4 (04:34):
For the Canadians.
I do believe they would be theCaesar, though Right, I know
it's not the same thing, but theCaesar is very popular in
Canada.
I know that, and I will saythat some of the versions of the
caesar that they drink to me isabsolutely disgusting you know,
I, I love, love.
Speaker 2 (04:53):
Bloody mary is spicy, extra spicy, uh, with gray
goose.
But they do drink it becausethey use club model juice up
there instead of tomato juice.
That's's what makes the Caesara Caesar.
But everything else is like theBloody Mary, except they use
like horseradish.
And it's gross, man, it lookslike styrofoam floating around
(05:15):
in there.
No, and you drink.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
That's nasty.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
And then they use, like dill, pickle juice.
And I'm not trying to do allthat stuff, man, just give a
vodka juice.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
Sounds like a dare contest.
Hey, try that pickle juice inthere, try that.
Speaker 2 (05:35):
Oh, they love it, though, they love it.
I was at a restaurant calledBoston's up there and and they
gave me the bloody Caesar.
And God, it was awful man.
It was the first drink that Iever said I don't want this, and
the bartender's, like youordered it, and now I gotta
(05:55):
drink it fast and be drunk.
So, uh, because when I don'tlike something, I have to slam
it oh yeah, yeah, they soundterrible, guys.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
They sound terrible.
That's good.
Anything exciting, um, I don'tknow, I don't know if anything I
would call exciting.
You know, definitely some usefulstuff for everything oh, I'm
trying to think of what I evengot.
Oh, I could say I definitelygot something exciting.
Uh, my mother-in-law and mysister-in-law got together and
(06:27):
they have a sublimation printerthat they do sort of like the
way I do with the t-shirts, butthey made me a t-shirt of me and
my boy Dally, over here, kindof like hugged up, and it's got.
You know what I mean.
So that's pretty neat.
That was definitely one of myfavorite things I got.
That was pretty cool.
Speaker 1 (06:52):
Right on, pretty neat that was.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
That was definitely one of my favorite things I got.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That was pretty cool, right on.
Right on, how about you, jim?
Speaker 2 (06:55):
um, I got some uh duke cannon that soap, the real
big bricks, yeah, yeah, and someuh beard like beard wash stuff
and just some basic guy stuff,not really over the top stuff I
got uh like the beard scruffcream and and then the beard oil
, and then you go outside in thefreezing temperature and it
feels like somebody's pullingyour beard Cause, like it
hardens up and you're like shit,I don't want to break it, man.
Speaker 4 (07:17):
I'm sorry.
Have either of you guys everworked in a freezer?
Speaker 2 (07:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
So you know that feeling of when your nostrils
freeze up, when you go throughinto that absolute cold, the
eyebrows and whatnot.
Well, one time I was uh goingthrough on one of them, uh
driving what do you call it?
The pallet jacks that you rideon, and when it went through the
curtain a piece of dust gotinto my eye and it made my eye
tear and as soon as it startedto tear up, it froze shut, oh my
(07:46):
.
So I had to like ride thatpallet jack around all these, um
, you know these aisles andwhatnot, to get back out and
then get to the bathroom and getsome cold water to pour on my
eye because my eye was frozenshut, oh my God.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
Yeah, we used to have these uh reefer vans in, uh in
the army, and it was in Africaand we used to keep them, reefer
vans in the Army, and it was inAfrica and we used to keep them
real cold, man, and we'd keepthe pop in there and the water
(08:20):
and we'd always give theSomalians water.
And they kept bugging me, man,and they were asking about pop
and some know, some of themcould speak English and then we
had the Mountain Dew in there.
So I told him that he can goinside Got to remember it, don't
get cold there, you know.
So I told him to go inside, man, and he, he like stepped a
couple of feet in man and he'slike starts shaking real bad,
(08:42):
like he was convulsed.
I'm like, damn dude, you dude,hurry up and get it man.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
So this body is used to his temperature outside and
then he goes to an environmentthat his body is not used to.
I'm sure he's going to spaz out.
Speaker 4 (08:57):
And it was relaxed.
You got to think that his bodywas relaxed when he walked in.
You know you tense up beforeyou get in the cold.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
He didn't know to do that, yeah you know like the
temperature there was like 120in the in the daylight and and
gab, you got all the the flakjackets on their uniform and
you're working over the stovesand it's really hot, and then at
night and we're just freezingtheir ass off, man, like bad.
(09:24):
You look at the thermometer andit's 80.
It's jeez.
It's because it fell 40 degrees, man.
But yeah, in the reefer van man, I think we kept the reefer at
like 42 degrees.
Speaker 4 (09:45):
It was nice and cool in there.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Now we're talking reefer, like the same reefer,
I'm thinking right, refrigerateduh, container sign.
Yeah, we're not talking aboutless, we're not talking about
that.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Three he wasn't part of that part of the army.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He was part of the yeah, okay the other reefer part
when you're talking thatpharmaceutical grade and then,
uh, for christmas I got uh, alot of uh seasonings to cook
with, uh, uh by meat churchwho's uh who's got a lot of
videos online and I tried it outtoday one of them, and it's
(10:18):
pretty good.
And then I got a uh like a flattop grill, you know, for
indoors, so people just want meto cook eggs and pancakes on
them, and so maybe you can docommercials for them and they
can give us products, or yougive you products and stuff.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
There you go.
I'll do Duke Cannon and then,uh, keith's got to think of a
company that he wants to promote.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Yeah, who wants to give me the free chili dogs?
Speaker 2 (10:47):
I like Ducan man.
Their soap lasts a little bit.
You know what I mean.
They're like three times thesize of a regular bar soap and
if somebody threw that at you itwould hurt.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
And it's for the same price as a lot of other
companies' little ones, yeah,and it's for the same price of
the other company's little ones.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Yeah, like I, I I got some Sasquatch, dr Squatch, uh
soap and that's decent too, butit ain't the size of Duke cannon
, you know.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Welcome back.
So every year, millions ofpeople make resolutions for the
start of the new year on how tobetter themselves or setting
personal goals for themselves.
What have you guys done?
And for like 2024, have youkept any resolutions?
Do you believe in resolutionsor what do you guys got going on
(13:37):
?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
I like kind of the idea of a resolution, but not
necessarily if it involves somekind of drastic change, because
that never works out.
You know what I mean Like if ifit involves some kind of
drastic change, because thatnever works out.
You know what I mean Like ifyou figure, if you try to change
, like maybe 1% a day, littlenudges at a time, as opposed to
anything like a major 180, man,that's just, it's usually asking
for failure and you don't want,and it usually asks for failure
(14:01):
right off the bat, man, and youdon't want to do that to
yourself, you know.
So maybe, like I said, smallchanges, you know what I mean
small things, little tiny nudgesat a time, you know right,
right.
Speaker 2 (14:11):
That's how I feel about this show.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Just a little bit one percent a day I usually don't
like uh, I don't like makingresolutions, because when you
say them then people like try tohold you to them, like oh you,
oh, you're not doing this andthey're watching you and you're
like you know what?
Screw you, I'm trying, okay.
Speaker 2 (14:28):
But mentally you can have them in your head and not
tell anybody you know.
So like how many have you keptfrom like the beginning of the
year to now?
I've gone zero.
Speaker 1 (14:46):
I've just done little improvements over the through
the year that I said I was goingto try to do.
I'm trying to eat better andwhat really read what's on the
packages and ingredients ofstuff, and I've been like
refusing to buy and eat stuff,and even for our house I've been
saying, no, I'm not going tobuy that, we don't need, that,
that has junk in it or this biglong word is really sugar in
disguise or like bad for you.
So I'm trying to eat better andjust, uh, stay active and
(15:11):
healthy.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
That's about it you know, with caroline getting sick
for diabetes, we're reallyreading up on the the
ingredients and so we go forlike no sugar and low carbs.
Yeah, try to eat healthier.
You know I still eat like afreaking horse man.
You know, like I can have alunch with me taking it to work,
(15:34):
and then I'll drive byMcDonald's and all that and I
still go, man and get food fromthere, even though my lunch is
right next to me.
You know, like I started out atthe gym, I got a gym membership
for like three years and I'vegone like a couple times this
year and I'm like, well, Ishould cancel.
(15:55):
And then I'm like, nah, don'tcancel it, fat ass, Get going on
the gym.
So the gym will work out, notthe gym on the host.
So, uh, the gym, the workout,not the gym.
Uh, on the host.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Uh.
So Another one is uh, I I haveis, uh, pretty much that I've
hit the big landmark birthday isthat I just don't really let
stuff get to me anymore, Likeworrying about people's feelings
and caring and like or notcaring, but going out of my way
to worry about and stress aboutstuff.
It's just that you're at thatage You're like I don't care,
I'm not going to worry about you, I'm going to take care of
(16:30):
myself and my family and I can.
Politics are trying to scareyou in TV.
I said I don't need none ofthat stuff, I don't care.
I've had people at work yellingme like you didn't hear about
this in the news or this goingon.
I'm like no, they're likeeverybody in the world's talking
about this.
I'm like I don't know about it.
Man, you're really doingyourself a favor, man.
Yeah, so this stress puts somuch negativity and junk on your
(16:52):
body and it ages you like crazy.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
I don't need that you know, I like going in on social
media or people are justconstantly bickering, you know,
about the presidency, who this,who that, or the Pope did this.
The Pope, you know what I mean.
And then I love when it's likea big, big chain of fighting,
(17:15):
and then I'll say like I'll sendmy message, like, hey, I lost
my keys.
Man, has anybody seen them inthere, you know, and it kind of
like breaks things up just for asecond and all of a sudden
everybody trolls up on me.
This ain't funny.

Honestly, I got stuff from Timu.
I buy it just to test it out,and then I get it and I never
test it out, go figure.
Speaker 1 (21:07):
It's in your 12,000 square foot attic.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
I started buying off of TikTok now and TikTok and
Timu are damn near the samething.
Uh, there's, there's a shop ontiktok that you could buy stuff
at, so I bought a 4k capturecard off of there for four
(21:30):
dollars instead of paying 130dollars, and it looks like the
130 dollar one.
I just want to test it out andsee if I can get better stuff
off the computer.
Every country celebrates NewYear's differently, with
different traditions, and I know, jim, you said you had some
(21:50):
from Sweden For our Swedishlisteners out there.
We want to celebrate with youand name off some of your stuff
and traditions.
And I got other countries'traditions.
And, jim, what did you find outabout Sweden?
Speaker 1 (22:09):
About Sweden.
They have one called WatchingDinner for One which is since
1980, since 1980, it's a.
It's a video that they have ontelevision.
It's the, the countess and thebutler.
Pretty much this uh rich 90year old count, uh countress
(22:30):
like uh, she's all alone havinguh with the butler and she's
having dinner or something byherself and the butler is
pretending to be differentpeople at the party for her and
he's pretty much drinking fourdifferent drinks, getting
drunker and drunker with thewhole thing, and it's pretty
funny video.
I haven't watched it yet thatsounds.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
I watched after Jim sent that to me.
I uh, I turned it on.
I found it.
It's only 10 minutes long.
It's short.
It is pretty funny.
It reminds me a little bit ofold slapstick comedy.
The butler did an amazing job.
I just sent Keith the link toit so he got it.
Speaker 4 (23:12):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
All right.
Because I know he's going towonder.
Speaker 1 (23:16):
They also have one called the Reciting of the Poem.
They read a poem right beforeNew Year's and they try to time
it to where it ends on the NewYear countdown.
It's called Ring Out Wild Bells.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Ring Out Wild Bells.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
Yeah, it's in that article I sent you.
Read all of it.
Well, I couldn't read the it.
Read all of it.
Well, I didn't.
I couldn't read the.
It was in small print, I didn'thave to zoom it and stuff.
I'll have to look it up later.
And then they have the lightingof the sky, which is the
fireworks that they have on NewYear's Eve.
And then they have anothertradition called the throwing of
the shoes, and I guess I don'tknow if it's at the countdown or
(23:56):
something, but they throw shoesat the door, everybody there
and if the shoe lands facing thedoor, the front of the shoe to
the face of the door, it'seither good luck or they're
going to be lucky enough totravel somewhere nice or
something in the new year.
And then, of course, the finalone I saw was the listening of
the song, which is I don't knowif it's so much a tradition, but
(24:19):
it's.
Some people said they'restarting to have a tradition of.
It is at the band ABBA singinghappy new year.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
They have a song right on, and I was also doing
some research on other countrieswhen you sent me to Sweden.
How about, in Spain, eating 12grapes at midnight, one for each
time of the clock, to bringgood luck for the year?
Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
I can't stop on 12 grapes, man.
So is that?
I'm a gluten?
I just sit and keep eatinggrapes, man, they're healthy.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
Well, let's hope they don't get drunk and then they
choke on them.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
How do you guys feel about this one?
It's in Denmark, smashingplates on your neighbor's
doorsteps to show affection andfriendship.
That pisses me off.
Speaker 4 (25:16):
Well, as long as you're the one showing up to
clean it, it'd be okay.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
But if everybody liked you and everybody just was
emptying out their hodge anddestroying every plate and you
go out to get the paper in themorning and you're barefoot,
yeah.
Speaker 1 (25:35):
There was another one in Denmark.
Did you read the other one?
Speaker 2 (25:37):
No air flight.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
yeah, there was another one in denmark.
Did you read the other one?
No, it was the uh, the jumpingoff of chairs.
At parties, the people tryjumping off chairs in unison
with the at the midnight tocount down and the symbol of
jumping forward into the newyear in denmark.
So could you imagine you'rethrowing plates around the place
and you're jumping off thechairs.
(25:58):
You're going to you're going toland in some broken glass and
dishes.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
You're going to slide on it and fall down and bust
your ass and get all cut up.
Speaker 1 (26:08):
Or everybody's drunk on chairs.
Yeah, they're drunk on chairsand they jump off three, two,
one.
And then like how many peoplehave broken or twisted their
ankles and stuff at the midnight?
It may explain the woodenfootwear of the of the reason
everybody's screaming ateverybody else's chair and they
don't know you broke your leghow about this one?
Speaker 2 (26:28):
guys uh in columbia carrying an empty suitcase
around the block to ensure ayear full of travel?
Speaker 1 (26:35):
yeah, I heard that one, oh nice.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
So I got me a couple suitcases.
I got to pack up and go aroundthe block because Canada's
coming back up on me.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (26:48):
I like day travel.
Speaker 2 (26:51):
See, I like rolling out at midnight, 1 o'clock, when
there ain't no traffic and justgo.
Speaker 4 (26:59):
No, I meant day travel as far as I'm still
coming home that night oh, Igotcha, got ya.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
Uh, I mean, man, I'm only gone for like less than 24
hours and I'm back home after athousand miles yeah, I would say
that is a different definitionfor you.
Speaker 4 (27:14):
Huh, a day travels a thousand miles.
Yeah, fuck it right.
Yeah, why not?
But still, dude, that's likethat's a great story.
So you, that was you know.
Speaker 2 (27:23):
You know that was fun I met some cool people, man.
I'm glad my transmission didn'tgo out on me up there.
That too, that would have beenan issue.
How about this tradition in thephilipp Wearing polka dots and
surrounding yourself with roundobjects to attract prosperity?
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Sounds okay.
Speaker 4 (27:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (27:46):
Dusty Rhodes would have had it made in the WWE huh.
Speaker 4 (27:50):
Speaking of everything if it didn't have.
Speaker 1 (27:53):
So you gotta yeah they found one in uh, south
africa.
They throw old furniture outthe window in south africa yeah,
and it says uh, watch your headit's supposed to bid farewell
to old and embrace the new, youthrow out old furniture.
Uh, it's crazy.
(28:14):
You walk in the walk on thesidewalk trying to get home and
there's furniture, dodgingfurniture well, I've been winds.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
If you're 20 stories up now, yeah, I don't need this
refrigerator, no more.
Throw the whirlpool out, uh,okay, how about, in chile,
spending new year's eve in acemetery to celebrate with
deceased loved ones?
I know there are places thatdig up their loved ones every
year and change their clothesand let them have a smoke.
(28:44):
What, wait what?
They even light the cigarettefor them.
No, no, no, no.
I'll send you the video.

The families take pictures withthem and they change the
clothes.
Speaker 1 (29:04):
You got nothing else to do in your country but
digging up your relatives andredressing them.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
And if everybody's doing it, it's got to be a party
in the cemetery it is.
It's a life celebration when isthis at again, it's somewhere
in south america.
Speaker 1 (29:19):

Woo-hoo.
Plus, how about Scotland Firstfooting?

Brings gifts like coal orwhiskey for good fortune.
I mean, we don't need the coalright, unless it's cold.

Speaker 1 (29:53):
Yeah, and I think that if it's preferably inland
to have a dark-haired man whichcould bring uh luck if he comes
through your door, the first onethrough your door so your
cheating wife has her boyfriendsneak in and she's like it's
just good luck, honey betterhave gifts hands off the gifts

name.
Yeah, I got one.
In Switzerland, when they countdown to midnight on New Year's
Eve, everybody throws, drops icecream on the floor and it's
another mess you got to clean upand believe to bring abundance.
Good thing they're not thatclose to other people dropping
(30:38):
chairs or jumping off chairs andstuff that'd be interesting one
to combine there, jumping offthe chairs and dropping the ice
cream no, this one's not bad infrance, eating a stack of
pancakes to ensure a sweet yearahead there you go.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
I am with that, I am with I may, I may implement that
one this year.

Well yes, it's great right nowto be honest.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I'm making them in the morning, man, so head it out

away bad spirits and ensuregood luck.
Bang it by holding it in yourhand and smacking it on the wall

Sure, good luck.
Bang it by holding it in yourhand and smacking it on the wall
, not bang-a-bang, not a circuitof pie banging.

Get out Bansky.
It'd be Bansky.

don't know if they're smallmeals, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (31:57):
I got another one in Ireland okay it's tradition.
To what old am I going to readit?
Put mistletoe under your pillow, and you put mistletoe,
mistletoe under your pillowbefore you fall asleep on new
year's eve, and legend has it itwill cause you to dream of your
(32:19):
future spouse when's if you'remarried already out with the old
.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
This is for single people that are desperate to get
to get hooked up oh, I wasgonna say, dude, I just got a
whole bushel of mistel.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
I just got something on a belt buckle.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
There you go, you'll meet somebody then.
Speaker 2 (32:41):
How about in Argentina, wearing pink
underwear to attract love and tocome in here?
Speaker 1 (32:47):
That's a universal sign.
Yeah, here's one for Cuba.
They throw a bucket of waterout the door out the door on New
Year's.
That was pretty fun.
They pretty much they allgather around the bucket and
they put their negative energyand bad spirits in it from the
(33:08):
past 365 days and they toss themout the front door like dirty
water flying out so Turkey ifyou're the neighbor, don't be
coming by and you see buckets ofwater coming at you and they
toss them out the front doorlike dirty water flying out
Turkey.
Speaker 2 (33:22):
If you're the neighbor, don't be coming by and
you see buckets of water comingat you.
But when you set it up as a kidand you put like tarps down,
you know if you live on a hill,you know just jump on like a
water slide man.
Just wait there until everybodystarts tossing the water.
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 4 (33:36):
Do you guys have any relatives or do you yourselves
shoot, let off rounds on NewYear's?
My uncle Bob used to do that.
My uncle Bob used to do itevery year.
God rest his soul.
I miss that man so much.
He used to every when it was.
When it'd go midnight, he'd goright to the back, right out the
back door and he'd let somerounds off.
And I, you know, I know there'speople around here that do it
(33:58):
too.
Speaker 2 (33:58):
I can't you know, hopefully they're not that close
but I wondered if maybe youguys knew anybody that did that
too I know in chicago in thenews, man, you, you hear like
the bullets when they go up,they got to come down and they
kill people, yeah.
So I mean, if you're shootingin the ground or sand, I I can
see it, but you're still goingto hit a rock, maybe, and
(34:19):
ricochet and shoot your eye out.
Speaker 1 (34:22):
Uh, hobart's neighbor , uh, gary, indiana is very uh
every year on that, because whenwe were kids in the eighties we
used to, in seventies andeighties we used to spend the
night at my grandma's house andthat's, she'd tell you, we're in
Calumet Township, we're not inGary, but it's pretty much all
Gary.
So we would be out there and wewould get pots and pans and
(34:44):
we'd run out the house, yay,bang, bang, bang, banging pots
and pans, like little kids.
And all of a sudden it wouldsound, like you said, like a
whole artillery, just like boomand a whole artillery, just like
boom.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
And we'd all just ah, we'd scream and run back in the
house, but pretty much garydoes that every year the closer
you get to the west side ofhobart, you pay to add the guns.
