Matching pajama pajamas, pajamas? Whatever? The They made it sound like it's

(03:13):
like the big Christmas Eve. Ifeel like a lot of people will do
Can you know how some people say, oh, we get to open up
one gift on Christmas Eve, anda lot of times the one gift is
matching pajamas. Christ it has neverbeen. It just was this year.
I always get lindsay, like theflannel pants or whatever pajamas for Thanksgiving time,

(03:36):
like that's like the first gift,if you will. And this year
my surprise was when when she wentupstairs to try them on or put them
on, I guess everybody put themon. I hadn't told the kids I
had done it, so I knewthey'd blew or blow the surprise. So
I quickly gathered them in the kitchen. I was like, hey, change
into these. We got to putthem on before mom. They don't like

(03:59):
when I say mommy. Mom getsback downstairs and and my son's reaction was
like, wait, they match becauselame. We had never done it.
And I guess he's not he doesn'twear this style. I got him anymore.
Like he's yeah, he's underwearing Tshirts. He's just wearing or shorts
or whatever. Like it's he's notwearing like you know, matching top and

(04:21):
bottom. Right. Remember remember rememberwhen all the kids made fun of you.
We've moved on from that. Here, put this on. It matches
your mother. Sorry, I can'tcall her that mom. And uh.
And then of course, like mydaughter thought the material was too like scratchy
or whatever. But we got itdone. And then we're all sitting there

(04:43):
on the couch. And that wasmy mistake. And let this be a
lesson for all of you who aregoing to don't do it. Spring a
surprise like this on your family thisseason. When you're sitting it's not as
obvious. So I thought she wasgonna come down and be like, oh
my god. Now she didn't noticefor like ten minutes, but once you
got up, was she like,oh my god, I will. I

(05:05):
tapped the kids on the knees andsaid, I think we have to stand.
So then we all in Unison stoodup, and then she realized the
mistake I'd made. Uh huh.But the the what do you call that,

(05:27):
Madras? What is that? Yeah? Yeah, it kind of had
like thanks Giving ish colors to it. So I tried to actually not make
it because I knew. I knewthe kids were getting Christmas pajamas the next
night. Oh my god, howmany pajamas do I need? So I
actually tried to do like family Thanksgivingpajamas. Now the message and I already

(05:48):
told you the message. And thisis how I was so familiar with the
old Navy line, because I hadthis in my back pocket. But that's
they say. It says treat yourselfon it with a little friendly tree,
right, a picture of Vinnie DIVINGO. That's t R E E T.
So anyway, it's we're not gonnado it again, well until next year.

(06:10):
Yeah I'm in in this calendar year. No, but it was it
was fun. The okay, it'sjust it was, so it's so unlike
me. That's why the surprise riggerseverybody, because we talked about it.
I can't stand seeing pajamas in public, so I certainly don't come off as
a guy who wants the family matchingin private. What if someone comes to

(06:31):
the front door, like you're answering, that's true. We don't answer the
door, so I'm not decent.Excuse me, I have my matching Jammy's
on Hi Ellie in the morning.Hey, hold on one second. Did
you guys do that as a familywhen you were younger? No, you

(06:51):
didn't, so you were never likemother, I can't find my bottoms.
No, this one I chalk upto good marketing by old Navy. I'm
sorry, Yes, Hi, whois this man? Sir? Yeah?
There you are? Yes, ohhi. Yeah. We we did matching
pajamas every Christmas. It wasn't somethingthat I did with fine family. It

(07:15):
was more of my husband that starteda tradition. So every year I have
to go and get matching pajamas foreverybody, and it's five of us.
So sometimes it's like, oh mygod, I can't find Yeah, it's
like, oh, I sound everybody, but I can't find the littlest one
in the side, so I haveto change the whole thing. No,

(07:36):
no, no, you don't thelittle the little one says it does.
That's fine. You guys, doyou He's fine, he's fine. Yeah.
No. And then we got adog. We got a dog this
year. So it's like, Iwill say this, Tyler's dog is in
the picture, but thank god thedog's not wearing jammies. Say that as

(08:00):
your car option. By the way, pull that pull. Go back to
where you were, go back towhere you were. There you, Diane,
I got to put on the bigscreen, yeah, Diane. Yeah.
If this gets posted up, doesthis bother you? Hold on,
it's comming? Well that's Wayne Rooneythe peeple. Does that bother you?

(08:22):
That stands out when it's the world? Is Wayne Rooney. I'm trying not
to have my attitude dictated by theheadline. Cringe, miss it doesn't I
that to me, doesn't bother me. Really, you're into it. I've
never done it, would you?No? Why do you keep pointing that

(08:43):
out? I just that's that's justnot us. The what like happy I
think didn't did a few weeks ago, I asked her, just off handed
we were discussing it. I waslike, Hey, as have you ever
bought family pajamas? You said thatto who? I didn't say matching though,
I just said to Die, Isaid, have you bought family pajamas
now? Because I was going toget them as a gift right, Well,

(09:03):
because you already did? You knowwhat I can answer for Diane f
No, you think Scott's putting onmatching family pajamas? Well, I think
that's kind of how she answered.She she didn't answer for herself. She
answered for her husband. There isno way cringe. Miss. That's hysterically.

(09:24):
I think it's funny though that that'slike setting people off in a big
way. No, and I'll tellyou why. I'll tell you why for
two reasons. Number one, lookat it. Number two, look look
look at our perfect Look at ourperfect little thing where I'm here in my
mismatched T shirt and shorts. No, the that was the selfie because if

(09:48):
I'm if I'm being totally honest,I set the ladder up for the timer
on the other picture because I thoughtyou didn't capture and you can see you
can barely tell I have the pantson. The could tell based on what
everybody else is wearing. I couldtell based on the expressions on their faces.
I'll tell you the unhappiest looking oneis Lindsey. Well, it took

(10:09):
away from her moment of getting thatas a gift every year. It became
a family gift. No, ifanything, she should be smiling and be
happy that she doesn't have to wearthat anymore. There she looks happy.
Look at the dog's face. Thehell are these people? Yeah? And
right now I look at your sonand all these things? Is wear my
underwear T shirt? What am Idoing? I used to get made fun

(10:31):
of for this. Yeah, she'slike an Elliott Fosterman Blake twice if you'd
like a new family. No,the dog just what I know. People
can't see it. It's rude.The dog has a newspaper with a date
on it. It's in its mouth. Here it's described as smug. Thank
you? Do we look smug?Do you guys look smug? But I

(11:00):
do understand that sentiment. It goesback to I hope your Christmas is as
good as our perfect little one is. Look at us. We all found
our sizes. Oh, I guesswe shopped early, didn't we? But
again, we at least. Iwasn't planning on posting this anywhere? Well

(11:22):
don't. Uh no, but itsnug maybe if you share, But this
was just for our own sharing scrapbooker. Sorry I choked there. No,
but but everybody is taking them topost our perfect little holiday with all
of us in our perfect little pajamas, not a care in the world.

(11:46):
Look at my feet. Oh areyou supposed to do slippers too? We
did not. Are you all supposedto be seated with like like legs out
stretched? Askwayne Rooney? His feetare out? Oh yeah they are.
Yeah. Where am I going?Christ In line one? Hi? Ellie
at the morning. Hi, thisis Amy from Stirling. Yes, I

(12:11):

involved in our dogging cat. Youput a cat in pajamas? I did?
He wasn't very happy. Miss.Are you married? You should?
I am married? Your husband wearsthem? I make him? He says,

(12:37):

Everybody looks very unhappy, which makesme. Tegers rolling their eyes like,
oh, for God's sake, Bythe way, I can't, Oh

(12:58):
my God, who is that?I don't think this is her family.
The wait is that somebody who sentthat to us? Would there Yes,
would there be someone in your familywho would post it on X with the
message pure and utter hell public posted? Wait? So is is the anger?
Is the anger? Where it's theIt's like the wife and I'm again

(13:20):
I'm just asking. Look at thefourth kid from the left, the Diane.
Diane's the producer who wants all thekids crying at sporting events. No,
no, But is it like thewife does this and everybody's got to
do it or else Mom's gonna bebitchy. From my experience, it can
also be the husband. I askyou to do one thing. By the

(13:46):
way, I'll say this, ifJackie came home with four sets of pajamas,
I know three boys, who wouldI mean, it would be it
would be total hell in that hand? Can I say this, I'm actually
surprised, not at their age now, but I'm surprised you guys never did
it. And I'm not saying asa tradition, but just just like a
swan and done, that's what wedid. The I never I could I

(14:11):
could see that the seagulls Yeah,no, uh, they make blue and
white ones. No, that wasn'tgonna happen. That would have never happened.
Even teased. No, so youguys ever even joked about it,
like wouldn't it be crazy? No? No, never. I've had two

(14:35):
eggnogs and I have an idea.Hi, wait, hold on, hold

see what everybody's looking at. Sothat's hung justin with his dog. Well
he doesn't have a family. Thatis his family, you know, that's

(14:56):
what he's saying. And I haveto assume he made the pajamas himself for
his size and the dogs. Andby the way, how unhappy does that
dog look? Or he bought thedogs first and then had to hunt down
I can do this. Wait,who are those because it's not No,

(15:18):
they shared somebody else's. You can't. That's not gonna fly. Yes,
yes, I wondered why when Itook out my phone Elliott's flipper devices out.
