Coming up on DTNS, Instagram is 10 years old and has brought back its old icon. Flippy the Burger Robot goes on sale and Shayna Moon is here to tell us how story fits into game development. This is the Daily Tech News for Tuesday, October 6th, 2020 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt. And from Studio Redwood, I'm Sarah Lane. And from the Dark Forest of Finland, I'm Patrick Beijel. I'm the show's producer, Roger Shea.  Shayna Moon is here. Welcome, Shayna. Good to have you. Hey, everybody. I'm really excited to be here. Ah, it's so much fun. We were just talking about a little bit about game design on good day internet, talking about the effect of D&D on story. And we were talking about Roger editing hex codes for cheats in his games. That's all in good day internet. You can get that big becoming a member at patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things you should know. Apple announced an event for October 13th, 10 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time with a tag line, High Speed, which likely points to 5G connectivity and an A14 processor for new iPhones. Besides new iPhones reports indicate we might also hear about over the ear headphones, a new HomePod tracking tags, and the first ARM based Mac. Bloomberg notes that Apple stopped selling headphones and wireless speakers from Sonos, Bose and Logitech in its online store sometime before the end of September. Employees at Apple's physical stores were also instructed to remove the products. Ah, so that would bear out the HomePod and headphone rumors. Google has renamed its set of online productivity and collaboration tools from G Suite to Google Workspace. They even have new logos for all the apps and a few new features like collaborating on documents with guests in chat rooms, previewing linked files, expanded picture-in-picture for video calls and meet. And if you use the at symbol and mention somebody in a document, Workplace will now show you contact details and suggest actions like assigning them a task or something. Speaking of Google, Google Assistant now works on Tobit Dynabox devices, which use gaze tracking rather than voice interaction for accessibility needed by users with disabilities like cerebral palsy, autism and ALS. Users will need a Google account to add to Tobit devices in the Google Home app as a smart speaker slash display. The tiles can be created for commands that would normally be spoken. For instance, you would look at a title, a tile for what's my calendar title today, and then hear your calendar items. Facebook announced it will support Netflix and Zoom on its portal devices. The company will also expand its selection of stories offered through the its story time feature and add new AR effects and offer Spanish language voice control. Security firm PenTest Partners discovered a vulnerability in an internet connected Chastity device called the Cellmate. The Cellmate could lock or unlock by Bluetooth using an app. However, the API did not use a password, meaning anyone could take control of the Chastity device locked on you and lock it without the ability for it to be unlocked without bolt cutters or an angle grinder. The makers of Cellmate have pushed out an updated API, but have not taken down or fixed the previous one, which is still in use. Yeah. Wow. Moving on, Dell announced the UltraSharp 32 HDR Premier Color Monitor, which it claims is the first monitor with 2000 mini LED backlit dimming zones. It has a 99.8 percent DCI P3 and 93 percent Adobe RGB color gamut coverage, as well as VESA certified ETR 1000 support. It comes factory calibrated with a built in colorometer and supports two computers with picture in picture. The UltraSharp 32 ETR Premier Color Monitor sells for five thousand dollars, including the stand arriving November 5th. Well, you get the stand for that price. Reuters, unlike some other manufacturers, Reuters reports the US House Entity Trust Subcommittee is expected to publish a report this week on Amazon, Apple, Facebook and Alphabet. The draft makes a vehicle for breaking up tech companies, makes it easier to block acquisitions and recommends data portability and interoperability standards. The report does not address censorship of speech. And AT&T has stopped taking new orders for DSL service in the United States as it begins to phase out that service. That leaves some people without an option, though. A report from the Communication Workers of America and National Digital Inclusion Alliance notes that AT&T has deployed fiber to the home in 28 percent of households in its territory as of June 2019. And it slowed roll out down, so it hasn't added much sense. AT&T does offer a fiber-copper hybrid to about 72 percent of households in its territory. AT&T continues to fall behind cable ISPs with 15.2 million internet subscribers compared to Comcast 29.4 million and Charters 28.1 million. All right, let's wish Instagram a happy birthday. Oh, let's. Instagram is 10 years old, y'all. Want to feel old? Yeah, that's what we're doing. Instagram is celebrating by giving its users old home screen icons along with some safety updates to change your icon if you so choose to do so. You go to the settings page in Instagram, scroll down to set off an animation which ends with a page that lets you change the icon to one of the company's first four style icons, as well as one called Twilight, which is a take on the current icon. So, you know, cute. Instagram also brought back StoriesMap, which shows you a map and calendar of your stories over the last few years. You know, if you've been doing stories, that might be kind of helpful. In more practical features, Instagram now uses machine learning trained on previously reported comments to automatically hide potentially offensive comments that you can choose to view if you so desire. And Instagram also expanded its Nudge feature to warn posters of potentially offensive comments from once to each attempts. Yeah, so a better management of trolls in your Instagram comments feed. I think a lot of people will be pleased to see that. I was one of those people who was taken by the idea of, oh, I could put the old brown camera icon back and I immediately went and did that. I'd forgot that they had done a more Polaroid looking version of the camera. That one was in there. That was its launch icon. And I guess they changed it within the first month. You can also change to the beta version of the icon, which I never saw in reality. But I don't know, I for a 10 year anniversary, I thought this was kind of fun. It's kind of funny, but the new icon has been around for about four years. So it's not like, ah, remember 10 years ago. It's just remember five years ago, which is a little bit less impressive. Maybe I'm being a little bit of a curfew. I mean, I don't know Instagram 10 years ago, really 10 years. Yeah, it's kind of mind blowing. I, Shayna, I don't know. Do you even use Instagram? Is this affecting you at all? I do. I like Instagram. Actually, recently I got taken in by an Instagram ad. I won't say what the product is because they're like, yeah, that's where they get you. But yeah, I mean, it's something that I like for like personal photos, that sort of thing. It's definitely not my primary social media, though. But I know for a lot of people, it definitely still is. Where do you fall in this nostalgia? The nostalgia spectrum that we have laid out here. I mean, my nostalgia is for like, certainly not a 10 year old web app. I mean, I'm nostalgic about, I don't know, AIM and live journal and stuff like that, not Instagram. That's real nostalgia. Yeah. The problem is, it's too, it's too current for 10 years to mean something. It's something that was big 10 years ago and that you don't have anymore. This doesn't, yeah. I think I just really didn't like the new icon, and that's why I was so excited. That makes sense. Security researchers have combined two exploits that were initially developed for jailbreaking iPhones. You may have heard of them, the Checkmate and the Blackbird, to hack Apple's T2 security chip. That's the one in your MacBook or your MacBook Pro. The T2 is a co-processor that also serves as a secure enclave processor, or SEP, to process cryptographic operations. So keychain passwords, touch ID, encrypted storage, secure boot. You don't want people breaking into that. The exploit lets a user run code inside the T2 chip during boot up to alter its behavior, letting the user, if you're doing it to yourself or the attacker, if it's someone you don't want doing it, gain access to your encrypted data and get control of the machine. Now, a hacker would need physical access to the Mac to do this. You have to create a special USB-C cable, attach it to the Mac, reboot the machine and run the Checkrain jailbreak, which combines those two vulnerabilities during boot up. The approach works because Apple left a debugging interface open, which allows device firmware update to run without authentication. That's why you're able to get in there and do something to the T2 chip. Sadly, the vulnerability appears to be unpatchable, though it is detectable, so you can undo it. You can take a couple of actions to undo it, but it's not something Apple can push out a firmware update.  Someone has to have physical access and it's not an unsophisticated exploit. It takes a little sophistication to be able to pull it off, but not a great look for Apple, no matter how you think about it. Yeah, it seems like it would need to be extremely targeted as an attack. I'm also a little bit heartened by the fact that it is detectable and reversible, meaning someone who would really need to pay attention to something like that could soon, I'm guessing, have a tool, maybe even a tool from Apple to periodically look for it and do something about it if it's found. I don't know if Apple would do something like that, but certainly I'm guessing that some White Hat hacker would develop a small tool like that, that those who know they need it might go and look for and use. The little bit like checking that the barn door is closed after the animals all get out, I suppose, if somebody has got the data off the machine that you want. But yes, it is better than the alternative, which is to never know whether you've been attacked or not in this situation. I mean, you could theoretically, if you're in a really sensitive environment, you could have the thing and run it. I don't know how resource-intensive it is, but you could have it run every 30 seconds, you know, if it's possible, I guess, we don't know. What do we all think about talking about a robot for a minute? Oh, robots. It's a robot that does food even better. Even better. Mesa Robots has put an automatic food preparation robot on sale globally. It already existed, but now it's, you know, now it's open. Flippy, you may recall the name Flippy, reaches down from the ceiling to make burgers, fries, anything involving a fryer or a grill, uses a camera array, including an Intel 3D sensor and thermal camera to identify foods and navigate its environment based on the machine learning algorithms. It can scrape off, crud, remove excess oil, cook 19 food items. It really does it all. It can also fry chicken tenders, chicken wings, popcorn shrimp, french fries, tater tots, potato wedges, hash browns, onion rings, and waffle fries. It moves on a rail overhead and is controlled by a 15.6-inch touch screen. If you're wondering, all right, this sounds so great. How much is it gonna cost? Well, the Flippy robot on a rail, AKA Flippy Roar, sells for $30,000 U.S. dollars, although it can be rented for $1,500 a month, including maintenance and upgrades. Part of a pilot program at White Castle locations and soon operational at 50 Cali Burgers. Yeah, Roger, our producer went and looked at this when they first introduced it at the Cali Burger several years ago, and it's made a lot of advances since then. It's not something you're gonna buy for your own kitchen at this point, at least most of us wouldn't. I don't think so, yeah, no, not for that price. Yeah, but Roger, what do you think? Are you excited to see the next Flippy Roar? You know, in this kind of germ-sensitive time, I think this would be a really cool product because ostensibly it would be a little bit more sterile than having a human back there doing up your order of fries and onion rings. It is still limited to basically fried foods, which might blunt its reach in areas that are maybe a little more health-conscious, but I, for one, welcome our new robotic fry cooks. Here, here. I just kind of wanna see it at work. I do, you know, whenever we get these robot stories, we always have to consider like, is it going to be used to replace employees or as most of the time companies say is they wanna use this to let employees have more time for customer service, which, if they did that, would be great. This is awesome, like, this is not unlike the, it was the, what was the, There was a robot that was coming down from the ceiling. I think I know which one you're talking about. I know Patrick, you were laughing at me because I'm like, yeah, it's the one that like, cleans everything from- It was to do assisted living situations, yeah. The robots on rails above your head is kind of the new trend, for sure. It kind of is, right, because it's like, well, you know, it's less of a footprint, right? So something like this, yeah, sure, we're talking about things that are fried, but it's the beginning of something that is potentially pretty cool. Yeah, I'm sure it could be, I mean, currently it does this, but it could do a lot more and maybe not only for cooking. $30,000 was a little bit disappointing to me because I was already imagining it coming to my home and cooking stuff, but I'm hopeful that, you know, for a summer where there's a lot of barbecue happening, 1500 bucks, maybe you can rent it for a month or maybe I can buy W and have a- Yeah. I really don't think that's the target of it, but sure, yeah, why not? I want to eat something created by Flippy Roar, I don't know about y'all. Shayna, would you eat something created by Flippy? Yeah, of course. I'm not terrified of the robots turning against me. I don't think the robot's gonna poison me, although now I've spoken that into existence. Yeah, they've heard you. That's where they get you. I had literally never had to worry about this, but now it's all I can think about, so thank you very much. Hey, folks, if you wanna get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes, don't forget you can subscribe to our shorter five-minute show, Daily Tech Headlines at DailyTechHeadlines.com. A video game's experience is more than just the gameplay. It's also the narrative that glues all those various gameplay elements together. We asked Shayna on the show today to learn more about what developers need to think about when they're developing a game's story. Let's start with Lore, Shayna, the backstory of characters in the world. How important is Lore? So Lore is super important to any kind of game that's really gonna emphasize story, but it's really one piece of the puzzle, right?  You have designers thinking about what kind of mechanics are gonna be involved. You have artists working on what kind of style they wanna go for for the game. And generally in a good functioning team, these people are all communicating with each other and everything kind of informs everything else. It kind of depends on what the priority is of the team. There's a whole spectrum of games and there's games where you can say sort of written down big picture story Lore is not as important. And then there's other games where that's really the foundation of the player's experience. So yeah, so it sounds like, I mean, depending on the team that you have, do you start with the game mechanic? Do you build a story around that? Or do you kind of suss out the team and figure out, okay, here's what we can do. Here's what we're good at. Here's what we'll go from there. It's interesting because it can depend on the team. Some developers are more suited to making a first person shooter. Some developers are great at doing puzzle style platformer games. It can depend a lot on the skill. And then I talked about the art team earlier. It can top, they can have some sort of artistic point of view that they really wanna explore and develop. There's a game that came out a couple of years ago called Grease, which is a 2D animated platformer. And so much of that game revolves around the art style and kind of this experience of beauty in gameplay. But there's a narrative to it.  It's just different. It's designed in terms of the gamer's experience. In every type of storytelling, whether it's books, movies or video games, there are different types of stories you can tell. What are the types of narrative or I guess the ways you can tell the story? What are the types of narrative in video game storytelling? Typically when we're talking about games that are narrative focused, the big split is between basically like a linear narrative. So something that you would think about in terms of like a cinematic experience or a movie. Like a Last of Us kind of thing. Yeah, exactly. I mean, Last of Us is kind of well-known for being very cinematic. It has beautifully rendered cutscenes. Absolutely gorgeous game. And yeah, like your experience of that game is you're going from point A to point B, having some combat, having some puzzle encounters. But at the end of the day, there is a story that that team is trying to tell. And then there are other games that are more sort of open, you know, the term would be like open world. And that can vary in terms of like, you can have a more branching story where the player is making decisions that kind of changed the outcome of what can happen in the game. So one game I'm actually started playing two weeks ago because it's just one of my favorites is Dragon Age Origins. And Dragon Age Origins is cool because it does not just change based on decisions you make during the game, but you have the option of choosing six different origins for your character. And that origin changes the game sometimes significantly over the course of play. It still has an ending. It still has a thing it's going for. There are other like even more open ended things, but in terms of like RPGs, that's kind of what we talk about when we talk about like branching story and more open story. And then something that's like completely open where it's more about, you know, the narrative that the player discovers could be something as, you know, kind of well known as like Minecraft, right? Like Minecraft presents you with all these different biomes and characters and enemies. And really there's not like a concrete narrative, but, you know, players will talk to each other and say like, oh, I went to this place and this thing happened. And those are kind of like the player stories that can come out of those super, super open environments. Yeah, I wonder if it's appropriate to call something like that, I don't know, a systemic story where the systems of the games or the environments will tell the story as you discover it, not literally tell it to you as they would in more classical media.  Is that like, it's often, I guess, a necessity of smaller budget games, but is that like a whole other type of storytelling in itself that is emerging? Or is it still like, I don't know, small individual projects that happen to resort to those users to tell their stories? So it's interesting because there's definitely a certain type of storytelling that is associated with bigger budget games, right? Like Sony puts out a lot of prestige titles that have very high budgets and they typically have sort of very cinematic storytelling. On the Microsoft side, something like Halo has this sort of very epic linear storytelling and 343 has been definitely like pushing the envelope in terms of the visual fidelity of their narrative and cinematic content. But there are smaller sort of in the double A space funded games that also try to take that approach. One recent example would be, there's a studio called Spiders and they made a game called Tech Remancer. They also made a game called Greedfall, which are taking more of those cinematic storytelling approaches. So it's definitely not limited to the higher budget. I'd say it's more challenging because players expect a certain level of visual fidelity these days. But no, there are ways of really telling any kind of story that you want to regardless of budget. And I don't think that one is inherently sort of married to bigger smaller budgets. When you think of storytelling, there's definitely an impact with video games of the hardware of what you're using. How has newer gaming technology impacted the storytelling, the narrative game design? The biggest impact from my point of view has definitely been player expectations in terms of the amount of content.  There have been instances in the past where a call of duty game comes out and the single player campaign is fairly short and players get a bit upset. So the bigger hard drives get, the bigger downloads get, people are expecting more and more content. You see that a lot also in kind of online games where you may be paying a subscription, you may be paying cosmetics, but people have very high expectations. Sometimes I think a bit unfairly because if you break down your $60 purchase, if you play that game for 40 hours, you've definitely gotten your money's worth, but I think some people sometimes have higher expectations even than that. I mean, Shayna, having kind of been entrenched in the games biz for some time, what would you like to see? Okay, the consoles are getting better, we're all getting 8K kind of stuff, but what do you want to see in games? So my aspiration for the games industry does not necessarily have a lot to do with getting to the most highest fidelity cutting edge tech. The thing that I really care about is getting the tools that people need to make games into as many hands as possible. Because I think that when we put those game development tools in the hands of people from different cultures, people from marginalized groups of any sort, you get more interesting stuff, you get game developers introducing things into the conversation of games that the establishment might not necessarily have ever even thought of. You have better representation and it really just makes the whole landscape of people's experience with games better. I really love just how many open source game development tools there are these days. There's the Blender project and Blender has really, ever since, when I was in college, Blender was a thing and it's just continued to get more and more sophisticated. It's really democratizing tech for people. Unity, of course, is also an engine that's very accessible. I work for them. They didn't pay me to say that, but it's true. When I was in college, we were really like, hey, can we get Unity on these computers? Because this is a way we can make games. So yeah, getting the tools into people's hands and really making opportunities for people who wouldn't normally, I'm from the Midwest. And I had a lot of advantages growing up and it was still really hard for me to get into the games industry. So I try to do what I can to help people break in that way. I really thought you were gonna say you wanted smaller hard drives. This is really much better at it. Two gigabyte hard drives. Well, if anything, Shayna has said resonated with you. Thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit. That's where you can talk about all sorts of stuff. Submit stories and vote on them at dailytechnewshow.reddit.com. Before we get out of here, it's time to check the mail bag. It is, Al Spaulding wrote in about our guest, Mark Johnson, yesterday who is the co-founder of Plain for Change. And Al says, this is so cool. It's an amazing project. I've seen and heard more musical instruments that I never had seen before in three songs that I knew existed. I've been going down the rabbit hole on the YouTube watching these for a while. Oh, thank you, Al. Appreciate that. I know, very cool. Also, thanks to patrons at our master and grand master levels, including Ken Hayes, Tony Glass, and Jeffrey Zilks. Also, big, big thanks to Shayna Moon for being with us today. Shayna, you're obviously very busy and we'd love to give people a chance to let you know what you're doing else and where they can find you. Yeah, so the easiest way to find me, well, there's shaynamoone.com, which is where you can find all my very professional information. But then the easiest place to talk to me about game stuff is Twitter. I'm at Twitter at Q-O-R-Q-U-I-Q. Don't ask, it's just for fun, y'all. I'm just having a good time. So feel free, I love to talk about this stuff so you can hit me up on there. Solidarity, my Twitter account is ACEDTECT, and I have to spell it out too. So we will have a link in the show notes to Shayna's Twitter account if you want to find it there. There's another way you can get it as well. Thanks again, Shayna. Also, thanks to Patrick Beja for being with us today. Patrick, what's been going on since we saw you last? Well, if you thought the conversation about gaming was interesting, you might enjoy Pixels, which is a show I do about gaming news. And to find it, it's the opposite of Tom and Shayna's Twitter accounts. It's super simple. You just go, not Patrick, because my name is Patrick, so not Patrick, and you add .com, and you find the links to all my shows. And it's also my Twitter handle, by the way, not Patrick. So both of those work. Hey, folks, if you want a mask or a hoodie or a mug or a mouse pad, I got a DTNS mouse pad right here. In fact, I need a new one. This one's getting kind of dirty. So head on over to dailytechnewshow.com slash store. Helps you out with some new stuff. Helps us out as well to keep the show going. Our email address is feedback at dailytechnewshow.com. We love your feedback. Keep it coming. We're also live. Join us if you can Monday through Friday before 30 p.m. Eastern, 20, 30 UTC. Find out more at dailytechnewshow.com slash slide. Creator week rolls on with VFX artist Carrie Smith tomorrow talking about what goes into all those computer-generated effects. Scott Johnson will be here as well. See you then. This show is part of the Frog Pants Network. Get more at frogpants.com. The Diamond Club hopes you have enjoyed this program. Thank you.


Welcome back to learning analytics tools course. In this week, we will continue discussing about diagnostic analytics and algorithms in that especially clustering. So, what is clustering? Clustering is grouping a similar behavior or the items which has a similar behavior in a clusters. For example, if there are say 100 students taking class and the behavior based on the behavior, the background profile, you can group them. So, that is called clustering, grouping the students based on their similarity in behavior, especially this behavior is different from the other group. So, if you have two groups, the student in group one will have a different behavior from the group two, that is how you create the clusters. In learning environments, we can use students' interactions with the system, the numerical data to create clusters. So, you have to convert the data into frequency, the time span, those kind of informations, then that can be used to cluster. Also, we can use the action sequences to cluster, but that is not discussed in this course. So, let us see how to use the interaction behavior in the terms of numerical values can be clustered. Before that, let us discuss what is clustering and what are the famous clustering algorithms. There are two major category of clustering algorithms. There are more, but the two are very, very important major. The one is based on centroid, you might have seen the clusters, they are creating using centroids. For example, in this picture, you see there are three clusters. This picture is credited from Wikipedia. So, here is the link. In this week, we will see example algorithm for one centroid based and one example algorithm for the connectivity based. So, before we jump into what is clustering and the algorithms in clustering in the two main categories, can you think of why we need clustering for data from learning environments? Like you can choose any learning environment, like a classroom environment or a MOOC or TALE, anything. So, choose one of the learning environment and list down at least two applications of where clustering will be useful, why we have to do clustering. It is not that I want to do cluster based on students interaction with MOOC, but why, what is the information you want to use after creating clusters. Please pass this video after you will sit down and assume to continue. So, the clustering of learners based on the interaction. For example, students interacting with MOOC or TALE based on the interaction you can cluster, then you can use that to provide a feedback. So, instead of providing same feedback to all learners, you know this learners vary by three or four clusters and you can personalize feedback to certain cluster group. You know there are some students who might be spending much time in reading materials and taking quiz instead of watching any videos. For those learners, you might give feedback saying that A, why cannot you go and take look at the videos. So, those kind of feedback can go to those users when they were not able to give the answers to their quiz questions. For some learners who are not really interested in reading or doing any simulation, they just watch videos and try to answer the questions. For them, you can say why cannot you try simulators or some read materials. Or some learners who do not care anything, just directly go to assignment questions, try to answer them and complete the weeks assignment and go for next week. For them, you can give a different kind of feedback. So, you can provide a feedback if you cluster the students based on their behavior, the interaction with the system. Also, we can use this clustering to provide adaptive content based on the students interaction, you might give a hint or a new video or new course material, that is also possible. And there is other application of clustering, it is called e-learning materials. There are a lot of e-learning content available. We can go and crawl all the e-learning content and curate it. And you can automatically classify them into topic-wise or concept-wise. So, if you have those things, the system can automatically pick the e-learning content based on the topic you are interested or concept you are interested. So, that is also possible. So, clustering can be used to cluster the students behavior based on the interaction with the system or you can also content can be clustered or other things can be clustered in the system. So, in this video, we saw what is clustering and why it is needed for learning environments. In our next video, we will talk about one type of clustering. I will go through them and we will discuss in detail. Thank you.


Remember a hallmark card when you carry enough to send the very best. From Hollywood, the makers of hallmark greeting cards bring you Ann Harding in the Whiten Heart on the Hallmark Playhouse. Hallmark brings you Hollywood's greatest stars in outstanding stories chosen by one of the world's best known authors. They distinguished novelist, Mr. James Hilton. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. This is James Hilton. Tonight, the night of Thanksgiving, we dramatize on our hallmark playhouse a story by Fanny Kilbourne called The Whitened Heart, a story which offers its own Thanksgiving message of friendship and festivity. For indeed, there's no day on which Americans can more truly open their hearts, not only in full awareness of how fortunate they are, but in sympathy and fellowship with others less fortunate all over the world. It's a day then for pride, but also for humility. A day when we can cast away our personal cares, yet care for others even more deeply. We of the Hallmark Playhouse join you tonight in this spirit, and we're especially glad to have as our guest that distinguished actress Ann Harding. And now here is Frank Goss from the makers of hallmark cards. One of the particular joys of Christmas is sending and receiving Christmas cards. While the pleasure Christmas cards bring can never be measured, isn't it good to know that hallmark cards are priced the same this year as they were last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and that the quality of hallmark cards has constantly improved throughout the years. Yes, today, just as for many Christmas seasons, that hallmark on the back of your card is looked for and welcomed. It tells your friends, you cared enough to send the very best. And now hallmark playhouse presenting Fanny Kilborn's The Wyden Hoth, starring Ann Harding. Girls like most girls had their problems, and this year, Thanksgiving was one of them. Their mother, who was a practical woman, could well understand her daughter's attitude. Refinding a remedy made another problem for her, and here it was, already Wednesday morning. It was Lois, the older of the girls, who put her case most outspokenly. But, Mother, I already invited Bud Baxter from the office. How can I tell him? Oh, my goodness, there'll be room for Bud if you'd like to have him, dear. With the boarders? No, thanks. I'd rather be dead or have dinner out. Well, Lois, on Thanksgiving Day. Yes. Hi. What's this all about? Oh, we have to have the boarders for Thanksgiving dinner. What? Ring the bell, Kathy. Time for breakfast. But why? About the boarders, I mean. Ask Mother. Mother? Well, all boarding houses have a big dinner on holidays. Mother, please don't call this a boarding house. Having four paying guests doesn't make a place a boarding house. But why, Mom? Why? Start the toast, Lois, please. Because it's a responsibility we've taken on. It's our job.  Well, don't forget, it'll be a busman's holiday for me too, Lois. But they're not strangers, really. Oh, I hate that old consolidated company. How bad if Daddy were alive, it never would have gone broke. I'm sure it wouldn't have, dear. Would you put the chairs in place, please, Kathy? Lois, you'd think that even boarders would want to go someplace on holidays. Why don't they go home? That's where you're supposed to go on Thanksgiving, isn't it? I'm sure they'd like nothing better, dear. Miss Dunn was going to go home, but then the school board decided to have school on Friday. Yeah, that's another thing. What about Mr. Willis? I bet he doesn't even want to have dinner here. Well, I'm sure that what Mr. Willis chooses to do is his own business, Lois. But it doesn't free us of our responsibility. As distasteful as it may seem. Cover the toast here, so it won't get cold. Okay. Well, anyway, we know that Miss Dunn is going to be here in town. Well, I'm sure that Miss Demsley will expect to have dinner here. And Mr. Thompson as well. So the least we can do is be kind to them and gracious and show them the consideration that guests have. That guests are entitled to? Guests. Yes, Lois, guests. And on that day of all days, it might be well for the three of us to be thankful that we have each other, that we have such a lovely house, and that we have... Borders. Yes. Well, I won't be here, and that's fine. Here they come. Mr. Thompson, good morning. Morning. Hello, Miss Dunn. Usual place, please. And the usual corn flakes, I suppose. Nice fall morning, isn't it, Mr. Willis? Is it? I've moved you to this side of the table, Miss Demsley, so you can enjoy the morning sun. I dislike sunlight intensely. But then, I suppose, if you have to live in a boarding house... I'm sorry, I didn't know that. Well, in that case, if you'd rather... Oh, this'll do. Lois, the coffee, please, Kathy. Toast. The bacon and eggs will be ready in a moment. Oh, well, in that case, I don't think I can wait. Oh, but, Mr. Willis, it'll only be a minute. Bacon? It seems to me we had a ham for supper last night. Miss Martin, I prefer to have my eggs scrambled, if you don't mind. Why is it you never use chicory in your coffee? In you, all ends well.   Yes, I see what you mean. Sunshine. Sunshine? Then why all the gloom? Something went wrong at the office. I told Bud Baxter he couldn't come. Oh, Lois, you didn't. Just like that? I had to, didn't I?  No. Now, I'll help with the work, I suppose, but I'm not going to have the room the whole day. Well, I wouldn't think you'd want to do all that work, and then I'll have any fun at the end of it. What? It sure is funny how it's always a lot more work to get up a big dinner for people when you don't want them than for people when you do want them. Oh, maybe it only seems that way, Kathy. Well, all I know is I don't mind cleaning up after a party, but after this dinner, oh. Hey, why don't we make it a party? Oh, really now, Kathy? No, no, I mean it. Well, you have to have them anyway, don't we? Let's pretend we're giving a dinner party and have place cards and flowers, and, well, maybe flowers are too expensive. Well, I don't know, Kathy. Getting a big dinner is about all the work I can cope with. Oh, we'll do all the party part of it, won't we, Lois? Or don't count on me. Oh, come on, Lois. It'd be scrumptious. You could paint the place cards, Lois. You're good at that. I don't even know where my watercolors are. Oh, I'm sure we can find them. Then it's all right, Mom. Why, few girls won't, too. Lois? Well... Oh, swell. We can send them invitations. Invitations? That's one thing they don't need. Oh, I know, but... Well, it should have sort of let him know that it was going to be a super special. That it was going to be a real party. You could write the invitations, Kathy. I might even let you use that super special stationery your Aunt Kate gave me last Christmas. Oh, would you, Mom? Oh, I think there's still some there. Are you going to serve turkey? Oh, we'll have to, of course. And soup? And a nice salad. Avocado salad. Thank goodness Uncle Will's box from Florida got here on time. And we'll have a fire in the hearth. In that little fireplace? Well, we've had them before. Well, I'm sure it's big enough for a nice cheerful fire for all of us to enjoy. It isn't the size of the heart, but, Count Lois, it's the joy that it sheds on those around it. Borders, huh. These cars look simply adorable, Lois. Well, honey, you forgot to make one for yourself, dear. Well, I won't be there, remember? Oh, Lois, of course you will. Want to hear the invitations? Oh, finish. Listen. Mrs. Anne Upland Martin and her daughters, Miss Lois and Miss Kathleen Martin, would be pleased to have you take dinner with them at two o'clock Thanksgiving Day and spend the afternoon if there's nothing else you want to do. Spend the afternoon? What'd you have to say that for? Well, whoever heard of people leaving a party the minute dinner's over, it wouldn't be polite. I think Lois may be right, Kathy. I don't know how well they'll get along. You know, an ill-assorted group like that, they may be restless as witches. Aw, Mom, they're no more ill-assorted than most of our family parties. Well, maybe so. Anyway, we should try to make them feel as much at home as possible. Okay to deliver them now, Mom. I think we'd better. It's getting late. What is it, Kathy? Hello, Miss Dunn. Uh, here. For me? It's an invitation. Read it. Can you come? Why, yes. Yes, I think so. When I found out I couldn't get home for Thanksgiving, I was sure I'd have to stay in my room all alone. Now I won't have to. Well, we'll be counting on you then, Miss Dunn, and I'm glad you can come. Come, Mr. Willis. Well, I was going to the big game, but I didn't manage to wangle any tickets, but I mean, uh, thanks, Mrs. Martin. We'll be looking forward to seeing you, Mr. Willis. Go, so I guess I'll be here all right. Don't see why you should make such a fuss about it.  What's Thanksgiving without a real party? We'll come, won't you, Mr. Thompson? Well, it's the most decent of you to ask me, Lois, but I'm afraid that, well, you see, my nephew was to be in town for Thanksgiving days in his first year at the university, and I just got word this morning, and, well, I wonder if it'd be a great imposition. Oh, no, I think it'd be wonderful. I mean... His name is Bobby Smith. Bobby. We'd be happy to come. Thank you, Lois. What's so wonderful about that? I'd be a freshman, too, if I'd gone. Well, Betty's handsome. Mr. Thompson's handsome, even if he is old. Wasn't it lucky for us he had to spend Thanksgiving with his uncle, and that his uncle lives right here with us? Oh, he's probably stuffy and full of all kinds of heirs. They're all like that the first year. Anyway, I will be here, so what do I care what he's like? Time to stop chattering girls. Tomorrow's a busy day. Yeah, Thanksgiving and the party. Good night, Lois. Good night, Mother. Happy dreams, darling. Night, Mom. Mother. Yes, Lois? Nothing. I'm sure Bobby Smith will be just as intriguing as your bud baker. Fourth, starring Anne Harding. Have you ever thought that the holiday we are celebrating today is unique among the countries of the world? Perhaps even more than the 4th of July, it is an indication of our American heritage. Faith in God is deep-rooted in the hearts of most Americans. And while sometimes it appears to be pushed aside in the press of worldly activities, there are innumerable situations that prove otherwise. For instance, did you know that every year at Christmas, more and more Americans are sending Christmas cards that reflect the deep spiritual significance of that day? We at Hallmark know because we make cards for all America. And every year sees the enlargement of the collection of Hallmark Christmas cards designed to express those feelings. This year, the collection is larger than ever. You'll find Hallmark cards with reproductions of famous Christmas paintings. The Madonna and Child by Stanley Crane. The Holy Family by Madame Marguerite Barrier-Prévot. And many others by Hallmark gallery artists. There are even complete boxes where every design calls to mind that first Christmas of over 1,900 years ago. These are some of the Christmas cards America selects and is selecting in the increasing numbers this year. Yes, America has faith. And this day of Thanksgiving, 1951, is indicative. Now back to James Hilton and the second act of the widened hearth, Starring Anne Harding. And so we're here in Mrs. Martin's boarding house on the morning of Thanksgiving. The sun is bright and looking out of the dining room window, Kathy sees in it perhaps an omen. An omen that her make-believe party for the boarders will turn into a really joyous occasion. Her sister, Lois, is also watching the street. But she has other reasons. At the sideboard, their mother was busy sorting the silverware. If you girls don't get away from that window and give me a hand with things, we'll never get dinner on by two o'clock. I'll help, ma'am. Come on, Lois. In a minute. Oh, you're just watching from Mr. Thompson and his nephew. I am not really, Kathy. Here, Kathy, take this silverware into the kitchen and see what a little soap and water will do to it. Okay. You changed your mind, Lois? No. You're not being very fair to Kathy, or to me, you know. Mother, I just can't stand those terrible people. Oh, maybe they only seem that way to us. And we to them, too. We've never really tried to know each other, and if people have to live together, they should at least try to be friendly. We haven't tried too hard, have we? Well, how can you be friendly with boarders? Well, try to think of them as not as being boarders. Oh, there they are. Who? Oh, Mr. Thompson and his nephew. Nice-looking boy, isn't he? Oh, I don't know. I imagined he'd be taller. I mean... Well, he's as tall as Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson's a very tall man, I think. And I think he looks, well, um... Collegiate, I think. Mother, collegiate's old-fashioned. That's why you know what I mean. He does look mature. Mother. Yes, Laura? If I painted another place card now, would the watercolor drive by two o'clock, do you think? Decorations are just beautiful. And that lovely maple leaf Santa Pete. You know, sometimes you girls simply amaze me. I didn't put the place cards around yet. Oh, well, I see. We'll put Mr. Thompson at the head of the table. Who is he going to carve the turkey? Oh, dear. I don't suppose he's carved one in years. But it must be nice to ask him. You can put me at the lower end here. Here, Mom? Yes, and Miss Dempsey on Mr. Thompson's right, then Bobby Smith, and Lois on my left. Mother, why do you have to put Miss Dempsey next to him? Well, now surely you're not worried about competition from Miss Dempsey. You should be on my left and Kathy on my right. That way I'll have both of you girls handy to help me. Then, uh, Mr. Willis next to you and Miss Dunn there. That should make a very nice arrangement. Shall I ring the bell now, Mom? Is it time? No, dear. We won't use the bell today. This is a party. Remember? You've certainly gone to a lot of trouble, though I must say those huge pumpkins with the fruit in them are quite effective. Don't look now, Miss Dunn, but the insides of them are in those pumpkin pies on the side form. Well, I'd say they're on. I don't know that I've ever seen candles held in gilded walnut shells. There's quite an idea to that. You really made those place guards yourself, Miss Martin? They're not too hot, really, Mr. Smith. Oh, I think they're very, well, professional. A lot of to-do over nothing. But it does have a certain air, doesn't it?  I ought to do something with this bell business. Well, sit down, everybody. Sit down, please. Thank you. Mr. Thompson, would you please... Oh, we thank thee, dear Lord, for the many blessings received at thy hands and for this thanksgiving dinner we are about to enjoy. And bless all the happy friends gathered here today. We ask it in the name of Jesus Christ. Looks like it's up to me, eh? Mrs. Martin, do you prefer the light or the dark meat? Oh, please, Mr. Thompson, I can wait. Miss Dempsey, how about you? I'd like another piece of pie, Mr. Dempsey. Oh, heaven to know, I'm full up to here. Miss Dempsey, a little more coffee. Oh, I'm afraid not. Thank you. And I want you to know, though, I've enjoyed my dinner very much. Thank you. It has been fun, hasn't it? For all of us. And now, Mrs. Martin, how about all of us pitching in and helping with the dishes? Oh, dear Lord, thank you. Oh, no, the girls and I will do them after... After we've gone home, you were going to say, weren't you? But we're already at home, aren't we? So there's no chance of our going. Please. Oh, this is the chance I've been waiting for. I always wondered if a domestic science teacher could really wash dishes. Come on, Miss Don, I'll wipe if you want. Look up another team. How about it, Lois? Oh, I'm gay, Bobby. All right. Hey, how about me? Sure, come on. I'm sitting here by the half like this, hearing them sing that old song. Yes. Yes, here, all places. How do you mean, Mrs. Martin? Well, I think they're singing it anywhere but at home. Maybe they are at home tonight. A little less of a boarding house for all of us tonight. Thank you, Miss Dempsey, and I hope so. As much for our guests as for my own two girls. It hasn't been too easy for them either, you know. It hasn't been the complete home they could wish for. They could expect... I know. Why, you sure know how to run your fingers over the iris, Lois? Oh, sure, they'll laugh when I set top the piano. How about a movie, Miss Don? Tonight, Mr. Willi? Sure, to sort of top off the festivities, huh? Well, I... All right, I'll only be a minute. Come on, Bobby, time to go. Oh, gosh, you don't have to go yet, do you, Mr. Thompson? I'm afraid so, Kathy. Wouldn't want Bobby to miss his train. We've certainly had a wonderful, wonderful time. I'll say one, and thanks very much, Mrs. Martin. Well, I'm glad you planned to spend the day with your Uncle Bobby, so you could be with us, too. Yeah. Well, thanks again. Well, I'll go to the door with you, Bobby. Okay. I'm afraid I better get up to my room, Mrs. Martin. I want to write to my sister, New Hampshire. Tell her what a nice day I've had. We sure had fun, didn't we? I did, anyway. Oh, I sure did. Darn, darn that old college, anyway. Well, maybe you can come see your Uncle again sometime. Yeah. Well, Lois? What? Well, they, um... They have dances at the union every Saturday night. Yeah. Where's your mother, look?  Oh, sure, that'd be wonderful. Swallow. Yeah, no. How about writing to me? I will. Okay. Well, goodbye, Lois. Goodbye, Bob. No, they aren't, Kathy. They'll be here tomorrow. They won't seem so nice tomorrow. It'll be different. Well, I needn't be Lois. Stop it, Lois. Mother, you can't make a party out of 7 o'clock breakfast. Every morning? Heaven forbid. But I don't think we'll need to. I think it was because we were pretending we really wanted them here that made them so nice today. We didn't keep resenting them all the time. So they didn't resent us. Gosh, Mother. I don't resent them. Of course you don't, dear. That's the strange part of it. You know, none of us were pretending today after the first. It was a party. And they all were our friends. The friends we'd invited for Thanksgiving dinner because we wanted them to share our happiness with us. You know, I did feel kind of like that when we were out there in the kitchen doing dishes. I know you did. Yeah. I wasn't too much in favor of your party idea myself, Kathy, but I think we've all learned something today. I know I have. If we can just make our guests feel more at home, it'll be more and more like a real home to us. Don't you think? Well, yes.  That's right. Gosh, it sure was a scrumptious day. The fire on the hearth is just about out. Is it? I think it's just started to burn. With a new light. The spirit that kindles all home fires. The three of us have sat around this little hearth many times all by ourselves. Now we're not alone anymore, are we? Because we've taken into our home and our hearts. Those who are about us. We've learned the secret. The secret of friendship. And suddenly, as we look around us now, our little hearth that seemed so small only yesterday has grown wide. Hey, on Thanksgiving Day, we as a nation acknowledge our supreme dependence on Almighty God. Perhaps this year more than ever, we should reaffirm in our minds and hearts, as well as to the rest of the world, that our democracy rests on the truth that all men are created by God and have the same dignity and value in His eyes. So on this day, I hope you will join me in a prayer of thanksgiving. Our Father, Creator of all, our humble thanks we bring for ripening fields and golden sun, for trees and stars and rain, for home and friends and a country free, but most of all, for thee. Here again is James Hilton. It was good to have you with us tonight, and Harding, I'm sure our Hallmark Playhouse audience feels as I do. Your performance added very, very much to our holiday pleasure. Well, it certainly made my holiday happier for sharing it with you and your Hallmark Playhouse family, Mr. Hilton. Thank you for asking me. That was a very beautiful thanksgiving prayer, the one that Frank Goss read. I wonder if you have copies available. We certainly do, and we'll be very happy to send a copy to you and Harding or to any of our listeners. And now, as this time honored holiday draws to a close, from all of us at Hallmark Playhouse, from the makers of Hallmark Cards, from Bill Gay, our producer-director, David Rose, our musical director, Axel Grunberg, who adapted tonight's story, Frank Goss, our announcer, from Anne Harding and from myself to all of you at home this day of thanksgiving, our sincere greetings. May I also invite you to be with us next week when we present a delightful story by Bellamy and Helen Partridge, called Salad Days. And for our starring role then, we have invited Ronald Reagan to join us. Until next Thursday then, this is James Hilton saying, Good night. Four Hallmark Cards that are so lonely in stores that have been carefully selected to give you expert and friendly service. Remember a Hallmark card when you will carry it out to send the very best. The role of Lois tonight was played by Barbara Eiler, Collette McMayon was Kathy, others in our cast were Myra Marsh, Charlotte Lawrence, Tom Tolley, Gerald Moore and Eddie Firestone. This is Frank Goss saying, Good night to you all until next week at the same time, when Hallmark Playhouse returns to present Ronald Reagan in Bellamy and Helen Partridge's Salad Days and the week following, Marcella Tallins, Hey Ride starring Loretta Young. And the week after that, Lorenzo Sears, John Hancock on the Hallmark Playhouse. This is the CBS Radio Network.


Happy Sunday, and welcome back to the vlog. Doyle's trying to get up on his chair. It's not working. Hold on, let me get him up there. Ooh, there you go. He doesn't need help every time, but once in a while, he just gets too excited about life. Hey, hey, hey, hey, you get off the table, sir. Geez, this dog. Anyway, happy Sunday. I made something, I think that's gonna be really good. I don't know, I haven't tried it yet, but Doyle's smelling it. So, this is the salad that I made yesterday, just without the bread.  And I don't like super-yokie eggs. I like my, I don't know, thing firm, I guess.  But anyway, I'm like kind of proud of myself. I'm like, who am I now? What is going on? So, here's some of that leftover salad. But the bread is kept separately because that would be like just a goopy mess. That's what's happening. So, I'm gonna eat my breakfast, and I have a little bit of mess over here, but that's okay. But it's like leftover mess kind of in a way. But I have so much stuff for leftovers. I'm very excited. I don't know, I just like never thought about, I know this is like weird to say, but I never really thought about cooking in this way. Is that weird? Like, I knew people cooked like this, right? But just like, I never realized that it could actually be kind of easy. But I don't know.  But I don't know. I'm gonna test it out and see if I like it. I'm sure I will. So anyway, I'm gonna eat and this guy's gonna watch me eat. And I will check in with you guys in a little while. Okay, so brunch was freakin' delicious. I ate it all and Doyle watched me the whole time. And I'm just finishing my water. That's about it. That's going, wow. Can't talk. Not drunk today. I was drinking yesterday. Not today. Water is done. Now I get to clean up my mess. Which basically means that I just need to put things in the dishwasher. And I feel like a real like cooker person. I don't know. Is that? That's probably not the right terminology. I ran the dishwasher twice yesterday. So that was very exciting. And I started out with nothing in the dishwasher before I started cooking anything. So, yeah. Alright, so let me clean up a little bit. I'm gonna put you guys down. Okay, I'm done cleaning now. So, yeah. There's that. I'm doing laundry at the moment and I need to film at least one video and it's a face video today. So, I'm gonna wait for my laundry to be done before I do any of that because the noise is annoying. Especially when I'm doing like a sit-down video and not just like a vlog. Like, I don't know. It's not that bad right now. In the meantime, I think I'm gonna do some editing because I have several vlogs to edit and I also have a video to edit for Monday which will be my cooking video I did with Ryan from A Man with the Plans. So that'll be up on Monday. I'm not sure when this video's gonna go up. It might go up after all of this. I have no idea. But I do need to film a face video so I'm gonna do that a little later on in the day. And I have heard in Minnesota where I am, some places it's snowing. Yeah. And not like way up north by Canada land. I'm talking like in like Minneapolis, St. Paul area. I'm pretty far north of that. Like, I don't know. I'm like, I don't know if I'm still considered the cities.  What the heck? Oh my gosh. If I turn the camera around, you guys really can't see it.  Yep. I thought I was immune. Not so much. None of this will stick to the ground, by the way. But it's just like... November one, I'm fine with flurries. I'm fine with snow. But in October, no. Don't do it October. Don't. It's already ruined anyway. So, oh well. But now, it's 10 30. I turned my music off. So monetization and everything. So anyway, I'm gonna turn my music back on and I'm gonna do a little laundry upstairs because my washer is about to be done and I need to transfer stuff into the dryer. I'm gonna do some editing and I will see you guys in a little bit. And so will Doyle. Doyle's still waiting. Doyle got a whole egg today because I screwed up on my first egg. And then I made it a scrambled egg for him. So, yeah. What do you think? Dover? He's still, he's still begged for more, but it was a no-go for me. All right. I will see you guys in a little bit. Wow. This is really close. Hey. So I just filmed myself a little video and here is all the carnage. Yep. There's stuff on the floor. Oh well. But yeah. So I am putting things away because that's the adult thing to do. Just to put it away. It always looks funny when, well, I mean, I put my house on the internet. So like whatever. But you know when you have someone come over and it's like there's tripods everywhere. It's like, girl, what are you filming? So anyways. But I just filmed a haul video, kind of a haul. Well, yeah, it is a haul, I guess. But it's all about my office and what I bring to my office to make it feel more comfortable for me. And also like, you know, some products that I know and love in my regular daily life that I want to bring to the office. But I am currently picking up things that I threw on the floor because, you know, packaging and whatnot. Because I wanted to open up things for you guys. You could see the loveliness. And now I'm just trying to get my stuff organized because today is Sunday and tomorrow is another day back at the office. So I'm going to bring all of my beautiful things to the office. So I'll get that kind of all packaged up a little bit later here. I just want to stack it. So now it's all stacked and ready to go. And this dog is getting judgmental. Hi, buddy. Hi, buddy. Hi. You're so cute. You're such a cute one. Oh. Oh. Oh. You're so cute. You're such a cute dog. Oh. Oh. Oh, did you need something? Okay. So anyway, I am actually going to run two targets. It is for a 41. And I think I am going to leave my camera here because let's be honest, the likelihood of me actually vlogging in target on a Sunday is a very, very slim to none because there's usually a lot of people there. So I don't want to be weird. And then also on my way back home from target, I'm going to stop at the post office and drop off some Etsy orders in the box or whatever because I got to do that. So anyway, I just want to check in, say hey, and I will probably do a little target haul when I get back home. But first, I'm going to download this footage and erase everything off of this memory card because it's getting full after yesterday's events. So all right, I'm going to jet and I will see y'all in just a second. All right. So I am back from target. I got all my haul over here. So I figured I'd show you what I got. Um, I got some underwear because I needed some new underwear. So we're going to move that to the side because nobody needs to see that. Um, I also got this age perfect lotion, a full on my skin. Um, every time I get lotion like this, I always want to say it puts the lotion on the skin. P.S. It's like my favorite movie. So if you know what that movie is, comment down below. Extra bonus points. Um, all right. And then I also got this L'Oreal Ylvaev. Ylvaev. Ylvaev. Um, it's shampoo and I've actually used it before and I like it. And I got three of them and I know that's kind of Kray-Kray town, but it was buy three, get a $5 gift card and I was already like on sale two or there was a cart, I don't know. Anyway, I got the $5 gift card or whatever, but I know I'll go through it and I'll use it. I use way more shampoo than I use conditioner. I only use conditioner from basically like here down. I just like get my ends and that's it because my life. Next up we have some napkins, just some white napkins and these ones were on clearance. So that was exciting. And I also got some antibiotic stuff for wounds for when I cut myself open and then I also got this number seven total renewal microdermabrasion exfoliator for my skin. I just opened one and put it in my shower today and I use it on my face. So anyway, got that. So I like to, as soon as I open something it's the last thing. I want to like repurchase the thing so I don't run out when I need it. Speaking of that, I used my last toothbrush head. I can't think of names today. And so I just got another pack. So yeah, that's all I got at Target. Oh, no I didn't. I got this too. I got a pillow, a white pillow for the office and I will, I'm going to use this on my office chair, not Doyle's chair and that's it. What do you think Doyle? What do you think? He's like, I have no idea lady. No idea. Who the heck now is? But I think that's going to be it for today. I know today was kind of boring. There wasn't much going on. I don't even know what I vlogged. So yeah, I do need, it's like 6.30. I'm going to make some dinner real quick. Real quick here. I got to figure this out. I can't really do this with the camera sitting here because I got to move some stuff around. But anyways, I am going to reheat some of those leftovers from yesterday. So some of the pasta stuff. And I think I might have that for lunch tomorrow too. I haven't fully decided. But I'm going to bring something for lunch tomorrow. I need to edit my drunk cook with me with Ryan because that's going up sometime tomorrow and then I need to send him a link of my video when it's done. So anyway, figure that out. I'm so blotchy today. I don't have any makeup on today but I'm really blotchy. But it just started snowing today. So, I don't know. And I was just outside and inside and then outside and inside. So it probably isn't helpful. But anyways, that's going to be it for me today. Thank you so much for hanging out. If you like the vlogs or you like my videos, make sure to give it a thumbs up. If you liked it, feel free to subscribe and I'll see you guys in the next one. Bye guys!
