What are we gonna call it in 2025? - Are we allowed inside again? - Maybe it's just outside. - It's outside the country 2025? - Outside the country 2025, wait, before we get started, I have to give you a little fun fact. - Oh, please. - Do you realize as we sit here and record today, we are older than Barack Obama was when he became president? - Well, gee, thanks, Alyssa. That's great. That's exactly what I needed during the holiday season. Yes, I'm well aware of that. - At least we're the same age. I'm doing it to myself too. - You know what? - What? - Between us, we host like five podcasts. How many podcasts did Barack Obama host when he was 47? - None. - Okay, so we're thriving. - So he's ahead of us in some ways and we're ahead of him in other ways, it's fine. - Well, but it's December. We're winding down for the holidays in theory and it's time to rest and recharge. But alas, we are knee-deep in a presidential transition period straight out of the upside down world. So Dan, we're two old vets of the process.
