Oh yeah, I'm interested. So yeah, so if we yeah, we can start with with my with mine. You know, it's a little bit similar to not quite exact, but it's you know, it's similar to the Christmas Story movie, which is one of my favorite Christmas movies. I mean, I have I have a very long list but that I have some traditional Christmas Eve at our house. Do ya always always wait to do Christmas day? Oh, can we watch it a couple times couple of times on Christmas Day. But it is set so Christmas story is set in Indiana. And I was born and raised in Indiana now Christmas story I think is set like in the 1940s and I think it

1:45

was filmed I mean it looks suspiciously like Cleveland yeah

1:49

it actually was filmed in Cleveland Ohio they're still the house that they still there and they actually someone bought it and then turn it into a museum so Oh wow. So someone's house Oh wow.

2:01

Well kind of like in Albuquerque where I grew up the Breaking Bad house actually. Yes. tourist attraction not quite the same thing as a Christmas story but we didn't

2:11

we do what we can games similar themes. And and obviously if you're familiar with Christmas Story, the main thing is it Ralphie once red Ryder BB gun. And and I was it was probably Christmas in the early 80s early to mid 80s I was probably you know eight, eight years old eight or nine and my brother closest to me and age are only 18 months apart and we shared a room with him and I that Christmas our big gift was a BB gun Okay, and and I remember my parents kind of asking us I don't think I knew I didn't know the the ins and outs of BB guns versus pellet guns and all that. And I remember them asking us like hey, do you want do you want a BB gun or a pellet gun? And and I was just kind of like maybe because of Christmas store and all that I was like I just want a BB gun.

3:09

So what is the difference? I mean, I come from household Yes.

3:14

Of any type what's what's interesting is these BB guns that we got for Christmas were the only weapons in our house because all we had and but a pellet gun. So BB gun just shoots like the round BB BB pellet gun shoots it's more of a like a cylinder. It's small but it's maybe more bullet ish. Okay and so and you can usually the pellet guns you can shoot at higher power so you could actually do some damage with a pellet yeah like you could actually hunt like a rabbit or something okay pellet gun like depending on how good of a shot you are and all that how big the rabbit is. Yeah. And he was no I was yeah, I I one time shot at field mouse with my friend and then how did you stop trying to get him break down oh,
