<p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;"><em>Zoom AI Companion</em> has been helping to write up the summaries of our conversations. So here’s what Zoom said, in part, edited (a little) for accuracy (sort of).</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Cody and craig discussed a variety of topics, including the new control interface, their podcast which covers a range of topics, household chores, and the societal assumptions about gender roles in household chores. They also engaged in a theological conversation about the historical context of Jesus, the Christmas story, and the concept of Jesus as a nonviolent resistor. They touched on the historical and mythical elements of the Christmas story, the financial and sporting implications of a high-profile player's transfer, their finances and future plans, music, making fruitcake, and casual conversations about classic Christmas movies and action figures.</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">We also spent some time trying to pronounce the Latin term for the third Sunday of Advent, <em>gaudete.</em></p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">It’s pretty close. Here are a few of the links to things that were discussed:</p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">NCAA Volleyball tournament: <a href="https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/volleyball-women/d1/2023">https://www.ncaa.com/brackets/volleyball-women/d1/2023</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Shohei Ohtani’s payout: <a href="https://theathletic.com/5126812/2023/12/11/shohei-ohtani-contract-10-numbers-dodgers/?source=user-shared-article">https://theathletic.com/5126812/2023/12/11/shohei-ohtani-contract-10-numbers-dodgers/?source=user-shared-article</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">ActionAid Sweden and the Christmas Goats: <a href="https://youtu.be/ELvsokKcydM?si=VE7dMZPr6y9lP0qG">https://youtu.be/ELvsokKcydM?si=VE7dMZPr6y9lP0qG</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Fruitcake, by the Superions: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/2KsftzifufXI5ukgcfis77?si=3b826cbf58364e60">https://open.spotify.com/track/2KsftzifufXI5ukgcfis77?si=3b826cbf58364e60</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">Wet Bandits, by The Home Alones: <a href="https://open.spotify.com/track/12XnacmXLpsZFE1yn84XDS?si=ca5fa6b06ddd4226">https://open.spotify.com/track/12XnacmXLpsZFE1yn84XDS?si=ca5fa6b06ddd4226</a> </p><p class="" style="white-space:pre-wrap;">And, especially since it is chilly outside here in North America, <a href="https://patreon.com/craigdmorton">support us through Patreon</a> so we can have a warm cup of tea or coffee. </p>
