**Justin Garrison:** Yeah. So congrats on the new job, and Merry Christmas. |
**Autumn Nash:** I can't wait to -- where am I going to put the picture of Bill Gates? Like... |
**Justin Garrison:** On your desk. He has to look at you. |
**Autumn Nash:** Every time you send something and it's from you, my children assume that you're in a box... |
**Justin Garrison:** It's me in there? |
**Autumn Nash:** Yeah. And I'm just like "Um, Mr. Justin is not in the box." |
**Justin Garrison:** Well, this gave them some playing cards to play with. They can play war, or something. I don't know. |
**Autumn Nash:** I'm putting that stuff up where nobody can touch it. It's a classic \[unintelligible 00:52:04.19\] |
**Justin Garrison:** I don't know if the cards are opened. I don't remember. I don't think I ever did the puzzle. |
**Autumn Nash:** It's a classic, Justin. |
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, so there you go. You can \[unintelligible 00:52:10.02\] |
**Autumn Nash:** Also, we need to figure out what ridiculous shirts we're getting our kids for Scale. |
**Justin Garrison:** Oh, yeah, they should have some -- well, we need to have some Fork Around and Find Out shirts. |
**Autumn Nash:** Just to have them run around in little Fork shirts... It'll be great. |
**Justin Garrison:** It will be good. So yeah. So thank you, everyone, for listening to the show. Thank you for listening to us this past year. If you have not subscribed to Fork Around and Find Out, then please do. We'd love to hear from you. We're trying to get that just going, because it's fun to start it from scrat... |
**Autumn Nash:** Yeah, we invested a bunch of money into this new venture, because we can't stop doing nerd talk with our friends. But also, starting your own business is so scary. |
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah, it's a lot of work, and we appreciate everyone that is here just listening, and who has given us feedback over the years... We've taken a lot of that, hopefully going forward. |
**Autumn Nash:** Oh, my God. We love y'all's emails and comments and Blue Skies... It makes my day. |
**Justin Garrison:** Yeah. It has been a great learning experience, and we just love everyone that has given back to the show, because it's made it better. So thank you, everyone. Have a good holiday, happy new year, and hopefully, we will talk to you again soon. |
**Autumn Nash:** Can't wait! |
