Speaker 4 (03:54):
So?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Anyway, in Denmark there's no more letter writing, right, which
I guess seems weird. But now none of us Chris,
have you written a letter to somebody since four years ago?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
Was the last letter you wrote? So now to Mike, oh.
Speaker 1 (04:10):
Letters back and forth. So everybody in Denmark now is
reaching out to write letters to people and it's not
what they expected.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
So now if I.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
Told you you have between now in the end of
the year, you get one letter to write, who are
you writing a letter to? Because that's what people in
Denmark are doing. They're like, I'm going to write one
last letter.
Speaker 2 (04:35):
You have to.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
No, you don't have to, but people are I'll say,
I'll do it and I'll miss the deadline anyway. No, No,
but people are, and so they're seeing everything from sending
a letter to a long lost friend that they haven't
talked to in ages. They're seeing people who are sending
letters to say they're sorry about something where it's like,
(04:59):
and it could be nobody they haven't talked to in
like fifteen twenty years, but they're like, you know what,
I really screwed up.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
I'm going to write one last letter and then that'll
be it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
A letter to thank somebody, not like hey, thanks for
the gift, but like a letter.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
Of if they did something in your life that made
an impact.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
On exactly exactly. Don't you kind of like that? I
kind of like that. People are embracing it.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
Honestly.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
We went to go drop our holiday cards yesterday at
the post office. It almost looked like they had the
same deal going there. A mail was falling out of
the blue bin.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Are you serious?
Speaker 4 (05:34):
We didn't drop ours off for fear that it would
just get lost, swept up and thrown away.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
You want me to you.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
That would be your letter today? Do I go back
and revisit my last letter and write a follow up?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
Maybe that's what I would do.
Speaker 2 (05:50):
I don't know who I would write you know who?
Speaker 1 (05:52):
I when I was thinking about you know who, I
think i'd write a letter to my sister. Now I
talked to her every other day. But I think if
I that's it. After after the end of the year,
you can't write any more letters.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
Write one to Marley's just said, sus. You could have
like a keepsake of it.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
Yeah, no, beautiful, beautiful.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
What would you tell her that I'm proud of her
performance at school?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
And you know this was optional and I'm still doing it.
Elliott said, we didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Have to, but I thought it was important, so I'm
gonna do it. No, that's very nice, that's exactly that's
exactly what they what they want.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Or maybe i'd write a letter to Jackie.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
And still pop it in the well.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yes, obviously I'm going to mail it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, maybe i'd drop it at like a mailbox somewhere.
I thought, what a wonderful exercise, What a great exercise.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
But it's all because it's just not a service used enough.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, like everything, I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
If if the US said no more, no more personal letters.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Is people will be fine with it.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
No, there'd be a bunch of older people would maybe pushback.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right and we don't listen, but the no, no, no,
But like people at first would be like, you can't
do that, and then everybody'd be like, you two, haven't
written a letter since the nineties?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Same you.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
No, you didn't say you said one in the nineties.
You received in the nineties. You may be eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I was. I was never a letter writer. I was
never a letter writer.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I remember when I was like a little kid, like
six or seven, when I moved from Detroit, and I
would you write a letter to my friend's back in
Detroit in school?
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Pick up the phone because the phone that long distance?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
We always got I want to see be to call people.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
My dad would have tanned my ass if I if
I ran up a long distance.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Per mission, you got permission.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Like we moved a bunch before first grade and then like, well,
we moved a bunch in elementary school, and I think
it was like once once every month, we got to
make a long distance phone call, like back to it,
like when we moved to Houston from El Paso, Like
once a month I got to call somebody an El Paso.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
See, I don't think I ever even asked. I just
wrote letters the No, that's so boring. What else did
I am going on?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I'd play go Touch Grass? But yeah, no, you were
never able to pick up the phone and make a
make a long distance call. What are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Who are reading the rocket mountains?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We're not doing that.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Although I will say this in terms.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Have I ever wrote a letter?
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Yes, yes, in the seventies, but I did.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I didn't have a pen pal that you were going
to say, a pen because we were port very poor.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
We wrote it with saying we had to sell our
pens so we could buy shoes.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, I don't. I can't remember for the life of
me the last letter I wrote. That's kind of sad.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Since I did bring up our Christmas card? Can I
just disclaim one thing quickly?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Wait for we're all going.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
To receive them pretty soon.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Here.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Wait, you're a Christmas card?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Right?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Holiday card? I know we put holiday in there for Eliot?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Did you thank you? Did you guys get mine? Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yes, yes? Yes? All right, very good, very good.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
So the printer messed oars up?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Hey real quick, can I just go back for a second.
I don't look like I have polio in this year's card.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Do I?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I don't think so, because remember in the past one
is the way I tried to straddle the dog. It
makes it look like I got like a Jimmy leg
or something going on on the one side.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Anyway, the printers messed it up.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yes, the bottom oh is it cut off? Quarter?
Speaker 7 (09:31):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Bottom quarter of the card that featured three photos of
the kids is blurry. And even our name, which is
right above that was a little blurry. So they gave
us all our money back.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Beautiful, but I didn't.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Like the current promo code to reprint them because it
was less money. So we're here's the blurry one now whatever. Well, yes,
we are using the original cards that were printed, right,
but I cut them all?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Wait so you cut off the bottom?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Yes, yes, so when you when I got them, you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
See why are they so short?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
You're going to see an envelope that is too big?
Too big?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Now, I will say, in this age of square photos,
you you may just think that we picked a a
square orientation because the rectangle turned into a square.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Can I guess what's what you're gonna say?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
The bottom is is like sharp corners and the top
is rounded, and it'd be a weird square.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
No, no, it is all right, angles ninety degree angles.
But because it's thicker card stock, my paper cutter didn't
make the cleanest cuts.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Now, oh yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
With either either, Jimmy's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
There's always next year.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
So when you flip it over, because you always put
that photo of the dog on the back, you flip
it over and it looks like maybe the dog bit it.
It's because I said, you know what, it's no longer
fifty percent off. It's only forty percent off. I'm just
using the ones we got for free.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
All right, very good.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
No, I'm glad you declared that. I'm glad you declared that.
I didn't want to have to don't you write to
explain it? I knew questions were going to be asked
of what was happening. Oh it almost looks like our
cards came with a little perforation. Oh, like they were Valentines.
I had to rip them all and that's why they're
(11:44):
kind of messy at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
All right, So can we agree? Are we going to
write a letter before the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
You told me I could opt out the Are you
opting out I'm going to write a letter.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Who are you writing it to?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Lars Eller?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He's got that hot, fast Danish sperm. I like that. Though.
I thought it was nice.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It got me all in my fields yesterday about who
would you.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Write a letter to?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I thought it was very sweet. And the whole country
not everybody. I bet Lars Ella isn't writing an email
or a letter, but the whole country is kind of
like rallied around it of like I'm gonna write one
last letter. I thought that was very nice.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Maybe they can somehow make this a holiday tradition.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Where every year you get one letter.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Well, next year you've got a hand deliver the

What would you tell her that I'm proud of her
performance at school?
Speaker 6 (06:16):
And you know this was optional and I'm still doing it.
Elliott said, we didn't.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Have to, but I thought it was important, so I'm
gonna do it. No, that's very nice, that's exactly that's
exactly what they what they want.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Or maybe i'd write a letter to Jackie.
Speaker 6 (06:34):
And still pop it in the well.
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Yes, obviously I'm going to mail it.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Yeah, maybe i'd drop it at like a mailbox somewhere.
I thought, what a wonderful exercise, What a great exercise.
Speaker 6 (06:45):
But it's all because it's just not a service used enough.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Yeah, like everything, I mean, think about it.
Speaker 1 (06:51):
If if the US said no more, no more personal letters.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Is people will be fine with it.
Speaker 5 (06:57):
No, there'd be a bunch of older people would maybe pushback.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
Right and we don't listen, but the no, no, no,
But like people at first would be like, you can't
do that, and then everybody'd be like, you two, haven't
written a letter since the nineties?
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Same you.
Speaker 6 (07:11):
No, you didn't say you said one in the nineties.
You received in the nineties. You may be eighties.
Speaker 2 (07:21):
I was. I was never a letter writer. I was
never a letter writer.
Speaker 5 (07:24):
I remember when I was like a little kid, like
six or seven, when I moved from Detroit, and I
would you write a letter to my friend's back in
Detroit in school?
Speaker 6 (07:33):
Pick up the phone because the phone that long distance?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
We always got I want to see be to call people.
Speaker 5 (07:41):
My dad would have tanned my ass if I if
I ran up a long distance.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Per mission, you got permission.
Speaker 1 (07:47):
Like we moved a bunch before first grade and then like, well,
we moved a bunch in elementary school, and I think
it was like once once every month, we got to
make a long distance phone call, like back to it,
like when we moved to Houston from El Paso, Like
once a month I got to call somebody an El Paso.
Speaker 5 (08:04):
See, I don't think I ever even asked. I just
wrote letters the No, that's so boring. What else did
I am going on?
Speaker 2 (08:15):
I'd play go Touch Grass? But yeah, no, you were
never able to pick up the phone and make a
make a long distance call. What are you kidding me?
Speaker 6 (08:23):
Who are reading the rocket mountains?
Speaker 2 (08:24):
We're not doing that.
Speaker 6 (08:25):
Although I will say this in terms.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Have I ever wrote a letter?
Speaker 6 (08:28):
Yes, yes, in the seventies, but I did.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
I didn't have a pen pal that you were going
to say, a pen because we were port very poor.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
We wrote it with saying we had to sell our
pens so we could buy shoes.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Yeah, I don't. I can't remember for the life of
me the last letter I wrote. That's kind of sad.
Speaker 4 (08:54):
Since I did bring up our Christmas card? Can I
just disclaim one thing quickly?
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Wait for we're all going.
Speaker 6 (08:58):
To receive them pretty soon.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
Here.
Speaker 6 (09:00):
Wait, you're a Christmas card?
Speaker 4 (09:02):
Right?
Speaker 6 (09:02):
Holiday card? I know we put holiday in there for Eliot?
Speaker 2 (09:04):
Did you thank you? Did you guys get mine? Yes?
Speaker 6 (09:07):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (09:07):
Yes, yes? Yes? All right, very good, very good.
Speaker 6 (09:10):
So the printer messed oars up?
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Hey real quick, can I just go back for a second.
I don't look like I have polio in this year's card.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Do I?
Speaker 1 (09:18):
I don't think so, because remember in the past one
is the way I tried to straddle the dog. It
makes it look like I got like a Jimmy leg
or something going on on the one side.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Anyway, the printers messed it up.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Yes, the bottom oh is it cut off? Quarter?
Speaker 7 (09:31):
No?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Bottom quarter of the card that featured three photos of
the kids is blurry. And even our name, which is
right above that was a little blurry. So they gave
us all our money back.
Speaker 6 (09:44):
Beautiful, but I didn't.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
Like the current promo code to reprint them because it
was less money. So we're here's the blurry one now whatever. Well, yes,
we are using the original cards that were printed, right,
but I cut them all?
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Wait so you cut off the bottom?
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Yes, yes, so when you when I got them, you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
See why are they so short?
Speaker 6 (10:17):
You're going to see an envelope that is too big?
Too big?
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Now, I will say, in this age of square photos,
you you may just think that we picked a a
square orientation because the rectangle turned into a square.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
Can I guess what's what you're gonna say?
Speaker 1 (10:37):
The bottom is is like sharp corners and the top
is rounded, and it'd be a weird square.
Speaker 4 (10:42):
No, no, it is all right, angles ninety degree angles.
But because it's thicker card stock, my paper cutter didn't
make the cleanest cuts.
Speaker 3 (10:54):
Now, oh yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
With either either, Jimmy's a little bit.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
There's always next year.
Speaker 4 (11:01):
So when you flip it over, because you always put
that photo of the dog on the back, you flip
it over and it looks like maybe the dog bit it.
It's because I said, you know what, it's no longer
fifty percent off. It's only forty percent off. I'm just
using the ones we got for free.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
All right, very good.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
No, I'm glad you declared that. I'm glad you declared that.
I didn't want to have to don't you write to
explain it? I knew questions were going to be asked
of what was happening. Oh it almost looks like our
cards came with a little perforation. Oh, like they were Valentines.
I had to rip them all and that's why they're
(11:44):
kind of messy at the bottom.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
All right, So can we agree? Are we going to
write a letter before the end of the year.
Speaker 4 (11:50):
You told me I could opt out the Are you
opting out I'm going to write a letter.
Speaker 3 (11:54):
Who are you writing it to?
Speaker 6 (11:55):
Lars Eller?
Speaker 2 (11:58):
He's got that hot, fast Danish sperm. I like that. Though.
I thought it was nice.
Speaker 1 (12:04):
It got me all in my fields yesterday about who
would you.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Write a letter to?
Speaker 1 (12:08):
I thought it was very sweet. And the whole country
not everybody. I bet Lars Ella isn't writing an email
or a letter, but the whole country is kind of
like rallied around it of like I'm gonna write one
last letter. I thought that was very nice.
Speaker 4 (12:22):
Maybe they can somehow make this a holiday tradition.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Where every year you get one letter.
Speaker 6 (12:27):
Well, next year you've got a hand deliver the
