1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
I think that's probably enough singing practice for today.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,520
Hey, Deadbeat, I appreciate you coming with me to the studio today, but was it any fun

3
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:15,520
for you?

4
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,720
It was incredible hearing me sing in person.

5
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,320
Ah, thanks!

6
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:24,160
You know, I really love singing and I've always wanted to get better at it.

7
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:29,480
I appreciate the compliments, but I've still got to continue working on improving.

8
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:32,640
Wait, it's been two hours?

9
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:35,960
Wow, time really flies when you're in the studio.

10
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,120
How does that even happen?

11
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,000
Scientists really need to get on that.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:44,440
Man, I could definitely use a drink after that.

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,920
I'm gonna go grab something from the vending machine over there.

14
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,920
Do you want anything?

15
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:48,920
It's on me?

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:01:00,640
Here you go!

17
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,440
I got you water, same as me.

18
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,240
Is that okay?

19
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:07,840
Hmm, is this supposed to be your Christmas present?

20
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,760
No, come on, it's just a bottle of water.

21
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,880
Hey, look out the window.

22
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:18,160
With all those lights and decorations in the city, it really does feel like Christmas,

23
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,760
doesn't it?

24
00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,480
Seeing the city like this takes me back.

25
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:27,120
I remember when I was young and innocent, I really believed in Santa Claus.

26
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,120
Huh?

27
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,920
But yeah, I said believed in because...

28
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:37,000
Wait, no, are you being serious?

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,720
Well, that's fine, I guess.

30
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,400
You're definitely one of a kind, you know that?

31
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,800
Also, are you sure you don't mind spending your Christmas just accompanying me here for

32
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,800
rehearsal?

33
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Normally, people go shopping together or enjoy a nice dinner, you know, Christmassy stuff.

34
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Hmm?

35
00:01:56,680 --> 00:02:00,800
This is the best way you could ever spend Christmas?

36
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,680
Well, you got me there.

37
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:05,680
I'm the same.

38
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,000
Guess that means we're two of a kind.

39
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,840
Well, I think it's about time to head out.

40
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:13,360
How about it?

41
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:30,120
It's so cold, especially after being in that warm studio for so long.

42
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,080
You feel it too, huh?

43
00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:36,480
It feels like it's even chillier than when we got to the studio, though.

44
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,440
Normally after a rehearsal, I'd head to a cafe or something and think about how the

45
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:47,400
rehearsal went, look for things to improve on, stuff like that.

46
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:52,840
But I'm feeling pretty good about how things went, so I think I'll head straight home and

47
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:54,320
do some recording.

48
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:59,960
So yeah, I think this is where we part ways today.

49
00:02:59,960 --> 00:03:07,080
But first, hold on a sec, okay?

50
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:11,680
Here, this is for you.

51
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:17,520
Yes, it's exactly what it looks like, USB flash drive.

52
00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:23,200
But well, I think you should listen to what's on it when you get home.

53
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,920
I recorded a little something yesterday and saved it on here.

54
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:29,920
What is it?

55
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,720
Well, that's what we in the biz call a surprise.

56
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,520
It's nothing special or anything.

57
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:41,440
Or maybe it is, from your point of view.

58
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:47,520
I don't really know what to say about it, just that I hope you're excited to listen to it.

59
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:52,240
This is my actual Christmas present to you.

60
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,400
Thank you for joining me today.

61
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,880
I had a great day.

62
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:02,960
Oh, and hey, let's both take care not to get sick in this cold weather, okay?

63
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,560
Merry Christmas!

64
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,240
See you later!

65
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,240
Peace!

66
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,240
Merry Christmas!
