39:58 sier snow Across journal part folio dot com, it's something

[transcript]

1:19:50 You know, one of my favorite things that happens up here in the northland. We're up here with all the snow and whatnot, but we have these, these trees in front of our house. They get these little berries, and the berries will hold on to the goddamn trees all winter long. So I got, right now, we're doing this in January. I got these two trees in front of my house, right in front of my bedroom window, and they got these little berries on them, and nobody touches these berries until spring. And in spring, April, May, all of a sudden, all of a sudden, 50 to 100 robins show up, and they start partying, and they go up and down our street for two weeks, and they empty these trees of these berries and just get hammered off their ass. And here's how we know that they're out there doing it. We hear them hitting the windows. They've run into the house. Oh, they're back. And then we talk to the neighbors and say, yeah, they're over here Tuesday, and clean out all my berries. And, I mean, they will take an entire tree, a full berries, these hundred, and they'll just be out there hammered, which is one of my most fun things I watch on National Geographic when you see the elephants getting these certain big fruits that have been fermented, and they're just having the time of their lives. And again, back to monkeys, the monkeys, same thing, and they're out there just getting hammered and seeming, they seem to really enjoy themselves doing that. And so, like, why wouldn't an animal want to be lit up once in a while, too?

[transcript]

04:02 And anyway, he's like. And he runs out there. He had a pair of tennis shoes on and some gym shorts. Recorded it. And he goes out there and he pulls up this BB gun out of the snow. And there is a handle of a snow shovel sticking out with a note on it saying, as long as you're out there, why don't you shovel your way back in? That was last year. So now this year, he asked her, he goes, baby, what do you want for Christmas? She goes, nothing. Because you're just going to mess with me. And so, long story short, she finally says, I just want diamonds and pearls. And this is a friend of my son's. He's in construction. So he built this beautiful box, and it says, diamonds and pearls do it yourself kit. And gave it to her for Christmas. Opened it up, and it was a lump of coal and an oyster. 02:38 How about you, Adam? My holiday was good. Kids were happy. The kids were happy. So you gave them gifts this year for once, or, you know, I didn't hand carve them stuff and make them out of twigs. They got actual toys. Wow. I know. They were pretty happy. I do have a good Christmas story. That is a friend of my son's. And I'll just tell you really quick, hit us. So my son's friends, they're in their thirty s, a young couple with two children. And they mess with each other every Christmas. And so anyway, she asked her husband last year, sweetheart, what do you want for Christmas? And he goes, I want a red rider BB gun. And she goes, you'll shoot your eye out, kid. And he goes, no, seriously, I wanted one for my whole life. Never got one. My parents told me the same damn thing, that I shoot my eye out from that stupid Christmas story movie. And I want a red rider BB gun. And so she went out and bought him. This is last year. Now, she bought him a red Rider BB gun. Took the gun out of the box, gave the gun to her nephew, took the box and put it on a handle of a snow shovel, put it at the end of the driveway. And so when you looked out their front window, all you could see was this red rider BB gun sticking out of the snow. And so they get up and stuff, and she goes, hey, sweetheart. He goes, what? She goes, I think Santa missed the house a little bit last night. But look what's out there for you out in the yard.

And when the snow is good, it's like, yeah, just an amazing road trip. 25:05 So, the the key for both John and I has been flexibility and freedom. And so if the snow is good, I go snowboarding, and I might take the whole morning off or the whole day off. And we've tried to build that into the company. So we work hard. We do good product work.

All of these recordings are available currently in a longer form on the posts from the field member feed. Other field posts include the sound of a very good bridge and an hour of a rainstorm from inside an empty car.
