Where are you?
Yeah, watch Jerry Rice. Easy outside. Hang right there. Now he is going to just delay and come underneath. Bill Walsh said two things yesterday: we want to get the ball to Jerry Rice, but we have to be patient and hit the underneath pass. I said, well, how do you get the ball to Rice and get the underneath pass? More importantly, what you said on the NFL the day earlier is Rice is You know, I've always wanted to have one of those old-fashioned kind of Christmas shows ever since—

You're lucky. Why?

What did Gary ask for? A fire—
Thank you! Who had my name exactly? Was it Cheryl?
Is this Cheryl's family? Cheryl who had her name pulled? Yeah, here still sir.
Was Truman Truman before you or after you?
Danny Truman.
Before you?
Okay.
But I don't know where he's at.
You all were younger than Stelzer.
Stelzer isn't here anyways. Right. Here. Let's not argue about this. Sorry, buddy.
That's not what I ordered. That's good.
That's nice.
It looks big enough. Might be too big.
I assumed that. Betty ordered it when she got home. But I see you got green on now. Who's after Betty? You don't want another green one? I like that color. Who's after Betty? Um, Dot. Dot? Because those shirts are really in style right now. Oh yeah, they cost a fortune. Yeah, they do. Oh, you got a dress. It does still fit, I have it. This thing's pretty.
Yeah, speaking of costing a fortune, I owe you money on that shirt too, right? What's all that?
That's still my daddy's.
Okay.
What are you doing? You can put it on your waist or around your shoulders. I've seen them both ways. Isn't that great? I bet everybody else would do this.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
Wait a minute, you're using that on me? Any rag through? Sally ordered one similar and it didn't fit. Yeah.
So I was looking at them and I saw that it fit. I didn't like it on me and my shoulders.
Well, it didn't fit me.
Sure. Is that one of the bows she made? Or is that a bought one? On some of the gifts I gave to the girls I made, I just took a butterfly thing and I had to make like a heart. I just went like this, like, this is what you mean? Oh, Greg's here!
Thank goodness. Who's here?
Greg Gudorf. Oh, did you— did they make it?
They don't work hard.
Where's your dad at? He's not down here yet. Figured I couldn't go wrong. I wish I would have known it was Kevin though. We owed him a mic. I don't know what happened.
Somehow you ordered it anyway.
Is that what you wanted?
Hey, that'll work.
But you guys want to open them at the same time? Yeah, and that's what we could do.
Then they—
then they, before they go out the door, you know, put check marks by that thing. Oh wow, this worked out good. He ended up— yeah, yes, yes, I bought that. I bought half of that. I Mama, are you getting a raincoat? I said I think Neil had his. Are you going to use that tonight?
Yeah, really good deal.
Got to take it back within a week.
Daddy Rose brought this in. It says, you know what you might want to do while we're here is hand Greg try it out and see to make sure he can do it. I tried it out and it feels pretty easy up the bottom. Now when you set it up, when it gets to that thing, you stick that in the ground. When this gets to that thing, you chuck it.
We were gonna get 4 presents, only had to buy 3.
All of a sudden they said that wasn't fair.
I feel bad. We could have come up with something better than—
Aww. I know.
It's kind of hard when you don't know who's guilty.
They need at least—
well, you could probably use 3 down here. What are we doing? I don't know. How many birds do you have?
Another Tonton.
You don't need all of us. You can take them out. Seriously, if you don't need all of us, you can take them out. What happened to what?
You do need one by your microwave.
Where did you get them from? Those are really cute, Tom. Oh, I like that one.
Hurry up, Betty, we want a group picture. I bet you got a group discount on it.
Yeah, I got to pull my sweater down. This is too—
I think they have to sing A Christmas Carol now, don't they? Yeah, you guys got to sing A Christmas Carol while we're doing it. Wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas!
Ho ho ho, Twingo!
And they always shrink.
Do you want me on there with you?
Yeah, get them over there.
Come on, Daddy, here, do something. I wondered where— I want to read that again. Whatever happened to the old copy? The old blue one with the front cover? Off. But we should have too. We looked through that half sock one time, we couldn't find it. But I wonder—
oh, I don't have her. I don't think—
how do you know you don't have her? You look everywhere. Yeah, how can you look everywhere? I can't believe— I mean, in this house. That's what I'm— she did. She probably was like, I'm going to take your, your picture. You're going to take my picture? Here I go.
What, you're going to have us come down and clean it up?
No, no. No, let me take your picture. Isn't that Eric?
Yeah.
He said he can— we can see Eric. Okay, so you got two of them.

Make sure you open the other one too.
There is a gap here.
I put it away.

Oh, well, we can't take it out. It's not put together yet. Daddy's got to do that. Okay, not now, honey. When we go home, I'm going to kind of move these around, but you guys have to figure it out. What do I need a shaver for? For the future, honey. Maybe 89. I don't know. You guys can switch if you like. I don't know, I'll try to find out.
It's beautiful, Mom. Dad's got to fix connectors on the phone.

Did you want to be embarrassed?
Oh, David, you— oh, okay. I bought it for the family, but I'm going to open it. Yeah, all right. Bree, please see what— we got a new pool table. I was going to wonder, we got pool sticks, no pool table. Well, I'll tell you, there I picked out the sticks. Joe went with me. We picked out a pool table and Joe picked up, uh, 1-inch slate on a 1-inch slab. Open it up, Eric. Let me see.
They're really comfortable.
I hope you guys can—
Basketball? You think so? Hey, Mom, you got it in minster. I read M-I-N-S. No, it's no basketball. What is it?

Do they have like different size glasses?
Yeah, they got like 6 different types.

Yes, he brought it home. I brought it home.
Holders and Mr. Coffee, what a combo! That was my commercial. Except Neil got them that year too.
Yeah, could be.
Mine are still in good shape. Why do you need new ones? I don't know, I just get new pillows.
That's what you better have asked for. What I asked him. You want to touch these? So I'm holding.
Love. Not for a while. Somebody's touching.
And the outside of that box, I don't know, it's kind of dirty. Don't touch the pole.
Yeah, that looks a little bit Like pillows.
Oh, those are nice.

Those are the ones we bought. Those are bloomers. I know. Yeah, they go a little long.
I think somebody else got those other ones.
You gave away my shorts?
Well, they didn't match real good, so then I bought you a new shirt. He gets all the hand-me-downs, all you guys' shirts. I thought we had tags on all of them. This is our paper, isn't it?
You can use that to clean, uh, do your white walls. It works really well. Yeah, it does work well on white walls. Yeah, but Dad doesn't wash his car. It works well in the bathroom too. You don't have white walls, do you? His car, right? Big architect. You don't work in St. Mary's?
Same one. After I get the rest of them done.
Another pair of fry tags. I like that better than the gray side though. It's kind of boring.
I just about stepped on it.
Very nice. I'd say that one's Kevin's.
He seemed to got— Jordan, what else did you get?
Nothing. It's going down under the tree.

Yeah, we can wrap that up, I guess. This must be it then. Keep the bow, keep the bow.
Why don't you write down names, Mom? It'd be easier.
Well, because then you would tell Dale. A skirt to go with?
You never know. Let's see if this is going to make me think it's a mod. Oh yeah, this looks more like that might be my style. Very nice, thank you. Again! I can't even get them started. Paper here. Uh-oh. That was my idea!
It's Doug's idea. You didn't buy him one.
I think this might be good for everybody here. Edger, very nice. That should do a nice job outside.
Doug suggested it. Thank you.
Good idea, Doug.
Oh, you suggested the trimmers, didn't you? Oh yeah, what's that for? I don't know.

She started. Not yet. Next year.
You can save it. Save it. I was on the basketball floor all tanned up. Very nice. Yeah, I had one time. What? Doug?
Yeah, if you don't like that, we can set the couch.
Who's that from? Mike. Like, hold it up close to your face. Yeah, like, that's real good.
The gloves he wanted. They didn't have those suede ones in blue. Are these our eyes? Yeah, they have plenty of those suede ones in black. Oh, are these the same ones just in black, or these are oranges? These two are the same thing, but they're a little bit different, so you get to pick out the one you like best.
Oh, holy smokes! Can't beat that. Dad was my hardest customer this year. He almost got real.
He was my evil. Which one, huh?
What is supposed to be my sweater today? Oh my, either or. Take that one.

Thank you, thank you. Ooh! Craig was talking to Carol. This is for the whole family, Doug and Cameron Trino.
This is a large size. Oh, that's great.
It's big. Yeah, you like it? Kitsip. I just asked for money for my ring.

What did I fly out of that one? That was amazing how you can make two small balls look so big. Tina, right here.
We get balls here every year.
Unless you're coming over to assemble it.
Like that? Yeah.
