0:01
- I'm sitting here with Michael, y'all.
0:04
And we both want to send y'all Happy New Year wishes.
0:09
In fact, he's eaten the New Year's Day soup
0:12
that I made for him, which is so good.
0:17
- And the blue cheese dip.
0:21
We can talk and eat at the same time.
0:24
I know you can cause we do it all the time.
0:29
You're pretty good at it,
0:31
and I ain't bad myself.
0:35
- That's cause I'm eating all the time.
0:39
- I don't know about y'all,
0:42
but I am looking forward to 2022
0:47
being in our rear view mirror.
0:50
Michael has especially had a hard year.
0:54
But we still, having said that,
0:59
we have been so extremely blessed.
1:01
- Yeah, that's right.
1:03
- So extremely blessed.
1:06
- To be here to talk about it.
1:07
- That's exactly right.
1:09
That's exactly right.
1:17
- [Producer] The tribe is coming.
1:19
- Yes the tribe all right.
1:34
- Do you, do you have any New Year's resolutions?
1:42
- You want to share them with me
1:43
so I can get on you if you breaking them?
1:45
- No, they're secret.
1:47
- Oh okay. (laughing)
1:48
- No, the other day I got on a scale,
1:51
one of the big scales.
1:53
And you know what it said, one at a time please.
2:00
It kind of hurt my feelings.
2:04
So that's my New Year's resolution
2:06
to get down to size of one person,
2:11
instead of one and a half.
2:20
You ought to be able to stick to yours.
2:22
- Oh I can stick to mine so good.
2:24
I don't make them y'all because I feel like
2:28
I'm going to break them.
2:32
So it makes me feel like a quitter or a loser.
2:36
So this is my resolution.
2:38
I say to myself, I'm going to try to do better
2:45
and that way if I do it.
3:00
But you know, if I tell myself
3:03
I'm going to try to do better on one of those things.
3:11
at least I'm not a quitter.
3:16
- Well actually- - Nobody likes a quitter.
3:18
- Actually just start my diet before New Year's.
3:21
But I've been going to the gym.
3:23
But not too regular or not,
3:28
not like I'd like to.
3:30
So I'm going to try to do better about that.
3:33
- That's right, that's right.
3:35
And that way when you do better,
3:38
you'll be real proud of yourself,
3:39
and you won't feel like a failure.
3:43
So does my thinking is,
3:45
it's reasonable, isn't it.
3:50
Cause I tried when I was a smoker, I'd say,
3:53
you know I'm going to quit smoking.
3:56
And I knew I was lying.
3:59
I knew I was lying to myself.
4:01
- You quit for like a day.
4:03
- I don't know if I made it that long Michael.
4:07
So, but it was not even close to New Year's.
4:11
But I got that monkey off my back.
4:15
Got that monkey off my back.
4:17
But for those of you that do make resolutions,
4:21
I hope that you carry through with them
4:25
with the greatest of ease.
4:28
It takes a very, very, very,
4:32
very regimented person
4:39
You know, I mean a lot of willpower.
4:43
And as I ate this bowl of cheese.
4:48
I am not all that full of willpower.
4:56
So, that's what I got to say about that.
4:59
Anything you got to say? (laughing)
5:06
good luck with your resolutions.
5:10
- Just as long as you're trying.
5:11
- Yeah, and it works for some people,
5:14
you know, making resolutions.
5:18
Just didn't work for this sister.
5:22
- The toughest part of me about losing weight
5:24
is I'm married to this chef
5:28
that likes to cook cookies,
5:31
and cakes and pies and pastries.
5:35
- Do I know her? (laughing)
5:42
- It's your girlfriend?
5:45
- But yeah that's the toughest part.
5:49
If I lived by myself, I could lose weight, and I'd be-
5:53
- Oh, when I met you,
5:54
you weren't skinny and you lived by yourself.
6:04
That was muscle. (laughing)
6:09
- Yeah, you didn't live by yourself
6:11
for years and you was just a tubby bubby.
6:15
- Somebody, somebody asked me said,
6:19
how much weight have you lost?
6:20
I said, probably 800 pounds. (laughing)
6:24
I lose and I gain it back.
6:28
- Over the years, you probably-
6:29
- I started gaining when I was like four.
6:33
I hadn't really slowed up.
6:34
- But I have noticed that, you're right.
6:41
- That's his graveyard arm. - Yeah.
6:48
Listen, y'all have a wonderful Happy New Year.
6:51
I wish you nothing but health, happiness,
7:02
I think peace is so important.
7:06
Love and best dishes.
7:07
- Bye y'all. (laughing)
