I did not know that. I know because we're not big Hanukkah people, but I know it's a big deal for a lot of folks. And so, happy Hanukkah. Happy Hanukkah. Yeah, it began at sunset last night. It will end on Monday, December the 22nd, commemorating the miracle where Jewish people only had enough oil to light a candle for one night, but the flame miraculously lasted for eight days, which is pretty special. So anyway, I do know that Adam Sandler is Jewish. So, well, yeah, my Hanukkah thoughts go out to him. Your Hanukkah thoughts are with Adam Sandler. Is that a sentence people say? My Hanukkah thoughts are with you. I don't know. I don't think anyone's ever said that except for you. Lots of food surrounding Hanukkah is fried. They've got, yeah, the potato pancakes, the latkes. Yeah. Those are a big thing. I didn't know that. The jelly donuts or the Soufgani Yacht. Sure. I believe is how you say it. I probably am saying it wrong. You're probably wrong, right. But they give me that it's jelly donuts. And I like a jelly donut. Me too. So that's cool. I like food. But again, why there's so much fried food? Why? Because of the oil. It's because of the oil. It's this miraculous eight-day oil. Anyway, happy Hanukkah. It is officially Hanukkah in addition to Christmas. When does Kwanzaa begin, do you know? I do not. Let's find out real quick. It begins on Friday the 26th and runs through January the first. Okay. So we'll say happy Kwanzaa then. Happy pre-Kwanzaa. There you go. You've got 11 days till Kwanzaa. Happy Hanukkah. Correct. Now we have to watch that Adam Sandler movie. Which one? The eight crazy nights? The eight crazy nights. Do we? Oh, we could. How about we start the show? Let's do it. Good morning. Oh, hello. 10 days of Christmas if you didn't hear. I did not hear. Ah. Now I know. Yeah, the countdown is on. As a matter of fact, you're going to hear that here in just a couple of seconds. See that little thing right there? It's going to say the countdown is on. 10 days until Christmas. Okay. Are you, how far along are we? I know we're not ready. But how far along are we? We're close. I know I personally have a little bit of shopping left to do. I've done some. Did I have some more? The question is how ready is Santa? Oh, well, I'm sure the list that we already know has been checked once. I don't know if second round has happened yet. I would think for sure the second round has already happened. By the 15th of December, I would imagine that the second check has already happened. Oh, maybe. So that's got to happen. If it hasn't, do the reindeer do practice takeoffs? Is that a thing? I would imagine there's a lot of grazing and a lot of trying to get all the energy ready. I think there's exercises. There's got to be some warm up time in there before you can really get up in the air. Yeah. Maybe some breathing exercises. Lamont's class type stuff. Yeah. A lot of those. Yeah. For sure. Elves, we know the elves are busy. They've been busy. They're still busy. They don't get a break until about 10 days from today, and then they get to kind of chill for a minute. Have some hot cocoa and a cookie find that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Who thinks Santa ever takes cookies back to them? I don't know. Or does he eat them all himself? And then he's like, this is all for me. Great question. I don't know the answer to that. No cookies for the elves. Yeah. There's a lot to do in 10 days. There is quite a bit. It's probably a little bit of chaotic crunch time. We ourselves, I think we're pretty close though. Yeah. I think we've only got a couple of things we need to make sure are taken care of, which is real exciting. So, well, cool. All right. We're here. I'm here. You're here. These are also like these next, this week, next week, and the week after. Yeah. Like, they don't really count, right? Like, time doesn't matter. You're saying that the next 16 days don't count? Well, no. I'm saying this week, the week of Christmas and the week after Christmas. 16 days. Yeah. Between now and New Year. Yeah. Yeah. Like, time is like moving very quickly and also stands still at the same time. That's fair. It's like, people are kind of loosey-goosey with their work. Emails are really slow to get responded to. I think what happens is a lot of people go, I'm going to let 2026 Josh handle that. This is a 2026 problem. Yeah, that's a problem for Josh for next year. Exactly. Yeah. I think a lot of people are in that zone where it's like, eh, we'll let that one. We'll let that problem hang out for a minute. Well, good morning. We still have stuff to do. We got things to get taken care of. Oh, yeah. Stuff to get done. We've got Jingobingo today. Jingobingo? That's right. And that's coming up when? At eight. At eight o'clock. Is that what it says? Eight o'clock? All right. So we got that going on this morning. We got to give away a $100 Visa gift card from the Bank of Congress. We got to. We got to. We got stuff. We can't keep this around. We got to give it to you. People need to have that money. So we're going to give that away this morning. All right, get ready to play Jingobingo. It's coming up in an hour and a half or so. And hey, good morning. Woot. All right. How about some good news? This right here is a very cool story. I think you're going to like a lot in McKinney, Texas. Of course, the holidays have plenty of lights and shopping and hustle and bustle. And now a little grandma wisdom, because right in the middle of downtown McKinney, Texas, the city has set up something called the Grandma Stand, which is where you can stop by. You can get free advice, a little comfort, maybe just some kind conversation. You can go visit a McKinney grandma. That's nice. Yeah, which is really cool. So the stand is staffed by rotating McKinney grandmas, including one grandma named Nancy, who has four grandchildren of her own and a big heart for strangers. She greets passersby with this simple idea. Sometimes it's easier to open up to someone you don't know, especially when that someone feels like a grandma. So the concept started in New York City back in 2012. There was a man who was inspired by his own grandmother. And since then, grandma stands have popped up in several different cities across the country, all built around the idea of providing this human connection, which I think is really cool. I want to go visit one. So I know visitors stop by. They talk to everything about, talk about everything from heartbreak to loss of a pet or sports or everyday stress. Maybe you just want a little advice on something you got going on. No judgment. Maybe you just need a hug. Maybe you just need a grandma. Yeah. No judgment. No rest. Just warmth, they say, which is really cool. That's nice. Yeah. Stop by the grandma stand. I don't think we have one around here, but maybe we should. Yeah, we should. Maybe we should get an East Idaho grandma stand. We should, because I lost both of my grandmas when I was eight years old. Sure. So I haven't had a grandma since 1989. Wow. I sure could use a grandma. You need to go visit the grandma stand. Go all the way to Texas just to meet with a grandma. It'd be worth it. That's nice. What a nice idea. That is good news. Hey, it's Christmas time. And at Christmas time, sometimes you send Christmas cards. We would like to be included on your Christmas card invite list. If you don't mind. Is it an invite list or is it just a Christmas card list? You're right. Just your list. Just your send out list. The people you send Christmas cards, we want to be included. Yeah. And we'll make it worthwhile because we're guaranteed to send you one back. Because see, that's a frustrating thing about getting a Christmas card or sending them out, I guess, is that you would expect to get one in return, wouldn't you? I don't think that's, you don't give a gift because you expect one in return. Yeah, but I think a Christmas card's a little different, don't you? I don't, I'd never set, when we did send Christmas cards, it's been a while since you and I sent Christmas cards from our family personally. There are years that we're really good at sending them and years were not so good. So some, whatever. The point is, I'd never send out Christmas cards with the expectation of getting them one in return. Got you. Did you? I mean, I would think that's probably one of the things that feels like an exchange. It feels like a trade. Okay. Well, we for sure are going to do a Christmas card. That's what I'm trying to say is, how many do we have now? We have eight. All right. We've got eight so far and we've sent out a bunch. We've sent out seven. We've got to get the one that we received over the weekend out today. There you go. Excellent. So if you want to include us on your Christmas card list, we'd love it. And we'll send you a card and a little something extra in return. And if you want to send it to us, send it to 400 West Sunnyside in Idaho Falls, Idaho, A3402. And we will be sure to send it back to the address you include on your envelope. We've had some people drop by Christmas cards too. Some people have brought us goodies. True story. Thank you for that. That is not necessary. No, no. You can get a card just for some of the cards. Always appreciated, but not necessary. Right. So anyway, send us a Christmas card. We'd like to decorate our door a little more. Yeah. Send us a Christmas card. Yeah. Please. Come on now. Send us a card. We'll send you one back. Pretty please. Send us a card. 400 West Sunnyside wrote, Idaho Falls, Idaho, A3402. Thank you so much for sending Christmas cards. We will send you one back. We've got a whole bunch of them ready to go. And we'll send you a little extra gift. I know. It's not that much of a gift. It's a little something extra. It's something exclusive for the folks that send Christmas cards. It's not anything anybody else has. That's true. Only the people that send the Christmas cards get this. That's true. That's absolutely true. It's rare. Please send us a Christmas card. We were watching my mom is staying at our house for a little while and she loves Hamilton and she doesn't get to watch it all the time. Right. So I turned on Hamilton for her last night. And our dog turns out also loves Hamilton. Is that right? I have multiple videos of her different songs just standing on the couch just watching. Really? Does she like the music? Does she like the dancing? I don't know. Does she like the lights or the colors? Hard to say. Because normally she'll run up and try to attack the TV, but you're saying she was sitting there watching. Yeah. Yeah. For extended periods of time. I've got some video. I'll show you. That's interesting. I know. She was pretty mesmerized. Hmm. Luna, the wonder Jack Russell Terrier. Was it when a specific person was singing every time or was it? Um, I'm trying to think. I'll have to go back and look at my notes at the videos that I took. I don't think so. I think it was different parts. Okay. Different energy levels. Yes. Because there was a quiet song that she watched and then there was a more upbeat song that she watched. Interesting. She was, I wonder if this is, maybe she likes all musicals. Maybe. We've got to turn on more musicals for the dog. We can try that. She likes, does she like nooses? I don't know. Let's give it a go. Matilda. Let's give it a go. I know she doesn't care for the monkeys and wicked. Right. And maybe that's why. Maybe there were no animals in Hamilton. So she was like, yeah, I can get behind the show. Yeah. This one's okay. Nothing's trying to attack me from the TV. I don't have to save anybody from it. It was pretty fascinating to watch. It is interesting. I wonder what she sees. What's she looking at? I don't know. Yeah. It would be curious to see what a dog sees when watching TV because you do see those videos sometimes of dogs and they're just mesmerized by the TV. But I don't know. I don't know the science behind a dog watching TV. I was trying to see if they could tell me a little bit about that. It says that your dog watches TV because modern screens show clearer images and sound that trigger their natural instincts for movement, other animals, or even your own attention, making it a form of enrichment, companionship, or mental stimulation. Interesting. Interesting. How about that? I mean, that dog, if you've got a jack russell, you kind of know. They don't sit still. No. So the fact that she was one sitting still was a miracle in and of itself. And two, she was like, yeah, I could get behind this. I was like, me too, bud. Me too. Well, and it does say that your dog might be enjoying the shared relaxing time with you following your gaze and getting comfortable with your presence, which is kind of cool. We were sharing some relaxed time. Me and the dog and my mom. Let's share some relaxed time. Yeah. And it does say that they cannot distinguish what is on screen as real or not real, which can lead to reactions like barking or tilting their head or attacking the TV or whatever, because they don't know that it's not real. Because it looks real, sounds real, but I can't smell it. What's that about? Smells like a TV. It's going to be really confusing for an animal. Right? No kidding. Interesting. I just said, good job, Luna. You got great taste. You can stick around. Yeah. So long as you sit here and watch Hamilton, you'll be good to go. You'll be good to go. Yeah. Well, fun. I'll have to see those videos. Yeah, I'll blow them up for you. I just know she was watching TV with you. She was loving it. Well, good. It's very exciting. What was your first reaction when you heard the dump was on fire? I went, oh no. Yeah. I was worried that a bunch of garbage fumes were going to take over the city. That was my big fear. I went, oh no, that's not good at all. And if you saw the smoke, you saw that it was rather large. Correct. And then I was waiting to smell some nasty smells. Yeah. I expected hot burning garbage, toxic fumes. That's not what was going on. Let me tell you, early, early in the morning, around 2.45, Sunday morning, the Adelfalls Fire Department responded to what was a vegetation fire at the Hatchpit landfill. What they found was that these 20-foot-tall flames, huge flames. I know, that's insane. Yeah. Were the large pile of pallets that had somehow ignited. And underneath that large pile of pallets, that's a tongue twister, is a layer of chipped wood that is estimated to be between 2 and 4 feet deep. So you've got this amazing amount of fuel for a fire. Pretty incredible. And apparently, they have been doing really well at keeping it contained into one pile. And we drove by late yesterday afternoon, and there was still smoke coming off of it, and it was still kind of doing its thing. I imagine with that much chipped up wood underneath that wood pile, that thing's got to be smoldering for a while. A couple questions. One, do we know how it started? They have not been able to determine the cause of the fire just yet. Okay. Two, who first noticed the fire? To call someone in charge. It does say fire crews were dispatched at approximately 2.45 AM after receiving reports of flames reaching nearly 20 feet high. Bro. So I assume someone saw a fire and went, we probably should call somebody. I mean, there are people that lived very nearby. Yeah. Well, good on ya for seeing it, recognizing it, and calling the proper authorities to say, something doesn't look right here. Someone might want to check on this. No, some of the photos and stuff are just pretty incredible. So anyway, something is afoot at the... Bonneville County hatch pit. But it seems like, and I haven't seen an update since midday yesterday, but I assume things are under control at this point. And where they're working on keeping it contained to one pile, I think that's good news. And hopefully it'll just kind of deal with itself and be done with. I'm glad it didn't smell. I'm glad it wasn't burning garbage. Yeah, same. Because that's not exciting. Glad it was just wood. Yeah, wood. Pile of pallets. Which burn. It's a bonfire. We used to do that for fun and high school. I know. We used to stack them high and light them up. 20 feet. And then you would have to walk really far away because the heat was so insane. So thank you to the firefighters out there. Thank you indeed. Taking care of that every day. You guys are awesome. Are you ready to clear the air on the strange sock situation? For a couple of days, we had a sock out in the flower bed in front of the house. And I said, would you get your sock? And you said, I don't think that's my sock. That's a stranger sock. I'm not picking up a stranger sock. I, all my socks have matches. But then one day over the weekend, you said, I probably should check out this sock and you picked it up and you went, that's my sock. Yeah. No kidding. So you put that sock in your pocket. Where's that sock now? I think I washed it and I did actually have a match for it. It's a lonely sock. I don't know when how it got into the yard. Great question. Two, why did you just naturally assume that sock was mine? Because it looks exactly like your socks. Here's the thing. I'm going to stick with, I think it got stuck in a pant leg or something. That's what I think. I would, I'm buying into that because it's, it's right where people walk is where it was. So it probably got stuck to somebody's pants or something. That's what I think. And then fell off and ended up in the flower bed. I don't think anyone took your sock outside on purpose. I never thought that. Did you think that at one point? I didn't think someone was like, get this sock out of here. Yeah, get this sock out of here. I don't think anybody said that. I think the sock somehow ended up outside and you ignored it for a few days. I did ignore it for a few days. You're right. I, one didn't want to admit that it might have been my sock after I- Oh, where is your sock the whole time? So clearly was like, no, that's not mine. Yeah. I didn't want to be wrong. You said there's no way. The wind was blowing. That sock probably came in from down the street, you said. Yeah. Like it's some wandering lost sock. Yeah. And then when I looked at it and went, oh yeah, that's, that's mine. Yeah, I know. I saw it laying there and said, your socks outside. Now I didn't pick it up either. Yeah, exactly. Because I didn't want to touch stranger's sock. But it's my sock. If you knew it was my sock, why wouldn't you just picked it up? Your sock, your responsibility, I guess. You just said I don't want to touch a stranger's sock. Right. Your sock, your responsibility, I guess. No, go back. You said I didn't want to touch a stranger's sock. Yeah. I don't. If you knew it was mine, I'm not a stranger. Clearly. Okay. I was 98% sure, but that 2% was enough to keep me away. Okay. Your wind theory had a tiny sliver of plausibility to it. And that's why I didn't want to touch it. Sock mystery has been solved. Yeah, it's your sock. It is mine. And it was washed and returned to the drawer where it belongs. With his friend. Yeah, everything is well. All right, good deal. No more sock in the yard. Thank you. Every Christmas, we run into this problem where we think we have gift tags and we don't. Yeah. Well, and every time I wrap something, I go, we still haven't picked up gift tags. And then we go to the store. We've got a store at least six times this weekend. I know. Somebody needs to remember to buy the gift tags. I had to wrap a bunch of stuff over the weekend. I had to make little notes on the wrapping paper. Is that what you did? No. Why would you say that's what you did? Because I thought about doing that and then I decided not to. Then I just made a pile. So I said, okay, this is a pile that's going here and this is a pile that's going there. Got it. Am I going to remember what pile goes where? I hope so. I hope so too. Otherwise, it's a Christmas free for all. And you go, oh, that's not yours, but you open that. So give that to the person. That goes to that person. That'll be a fun adventure. You can make tags out of wrapping paper. I've done that before, but it feels so. It feels cheap, doesn't it? Yeah. Write it down somewhere. Put it on a list. Don't you make a million lists? Yeah. Is gift tags on a list? No, I have a list right here. Oh, good. I'm going to put it on here right now. That's a good place for it. I can't believe it wasn't on there before. I was like, no, I'll remember gift tags. Yeah. I haven't. Sure thing. How come that's one thing though? You always forget. I don't know. And how do we keep running out? Now, listen, should we talk about the fact that I got some in the mail and then I had them sitting out so that we would have some? No, don't. You don't want to talk about that? No. And then they got thrown away by somebody because you thought they might have been address labels instead of gift tags. Like I just leave stuff laying around. I'll. Yeah, you said you were excited. You said I have gift tags. Yeah. And I said, where? I got some in the mail. You said I got some in the mail. I said, no, I threw those away. Uh-huh. So now we have no gift tags. We're completely out. I've used every last scrap of any gift tag I have. It's on my list now, Josh. Oh, get some now. When? Some. Soon. Okay. So good. Well, here you have it. What is it? Oh, football this weekend of football. Yeah. Was something else, wasn't it? So the playoff, the playoffs have been what, clinched? Well, some have, yeah. Okay. There's still, I think, a couple of weeks of football before playoff. So there are people that are. But there are some that have really, like, clenched their spots. That's correct. Yeah. Do you have a rundown? I do. The Los Angeles Rams, the Denver Broncos, which will make my brother happy. Yeah. The Seattle Seahawks, which. What's your problem with the Hawks? Well, they took, they took my quarterback. Sam Darnold? Yeah, he didn't play good for us last season. But here they are in the playoffs. Yeah. I'm like, oh, really? Okay. Sam Darnold, now you're going to play good? All right. Okay. The New England Cheat Reads. Okay. Listen, a lot's changed with that team. Okay. That's true. They don't have their main cheaters anymore. That's what I'm trying to say. Yeah. The Buffalo Bills, which we like. I like the Buffalo Bills. Okay. The 49ers. Now, when you say we like, does that mean I have permission to like them? Is that what that means? I felt like that's what that meant. Like what you were saying was we like them. Well, you told me over the weekend that my grudge isn't your grudge. And I, that made me really mad. That. Because anybody that I don't like, you have to automatically not like. No, your grudges aren't my grudges. They should be. And listen to this. I don't have grudges, but you have grudges on my behalf that I don't even have. Yeah. I am still mad at people who are rude to you. They weren't mean to me, but they were mean to you and I don't like that. Yeah. And I don't. It doesn't matter to me. I know, but. So anyway, so you were indeed saying it's OK for me to also like that team. Yeah. All right. Yeah, you can like that. I'm following. Who else did I say? The Bears, the Jags. Yeah. OK. Hold on. Listen. Oh, what? The Bears and the Jaguars in the playoffs. I know. Can you even believe it? Jaguar. The Packers and the Buccaneers. That means. So those are people that are in the playoffs for sure. Correct. OK. Yep. My Vikings, I think, are out, which makes me very sad. No, we're still fighting. And can you listen to this? What is it? The Panthers. The Panthers might have a chance. I like that so much. Isn't that something? The Panthers have like one win last season. OK, so let me tell you, everybody that you listed, you listed a whole bunch of teams. Yeah. Only two of them are clinched. Oh, not according to this. According to the NFL dot com, where I'm reading my information, the Broncos and the Rams are the only two that have clinched a playoff spot. Now, then it goes. If you listen to me, I'm reading NFL dot com. The home of the National Football League. If the season ended today, there's a lot of teams, the Patriots, the Bears, the Eagles, the Jags, the Steelers, Buccaneers, Chargers, Seahawks, etc., etc. that you listed who would make the playoffs if the season ended today. But the season isn't ended today. Those are the teams they say are in the hunt for the playoffs. Who are in the hunt? Oh, it's so many teams. OK. And then on the bubble, our teams that would be on the outside looking in if the season ended today, that includes the Panthers, the Ravens, the Dolphins, the Cowboys, the Lions, the Colts. Those teams are on the bubble. Hey, let's talk about the Colts for a minute with their old out of retirement quarterback. Yeah. Who threw his first touchdown in five years, and it was awesome to see. It was kind of cool to see. It kind of made me a little bit like so happy for him. Yeah. Old grandpa Johnny out there. Old grandpa. He's our age. He's a grandpa, dude. Yeah, I know he has one grandkids. Yeah, people are age or grandparents. I know. It's not that's not farfetched. No, I know. I know he's a grandfather. I'm not arguing that. You just call him like Grandpa Jones, like he's 800 year old man. But he is a grandpa. Like he sits on the porch whittling wood. He's not that high. He might. He's retired. OK. Not anymore. And then you have what, two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve teams that have been eliminated from the playoffs, including your Vikings and our son's Bengals. This says the Vikings are still kind of fighting. They're not. They're done. According to NFL.com, they are eliminated. And the Bengals too? The Bengals are eliminated. Oh man, Joe Burrow is going to be so mad. You know who else is eliminated? The Chiefs. Yes, the Chiefs, the Browns, the Commanders, the Raiders. There's a lot of teams that are eliminated. Poor Patrick Mahomes. Well, Torn ACL. Torn ACL. That happened to him. Yeah. Darn it. Listen, I don't want anybody to be hurt because that's pretty sad. But I am not sad about the fact that they are out of the playoffs. First time in his career that the Chiefs have not made the playoffs, by the way, did you know that? I did not. That is the first time in Patrick Mahomes' career that he has not been in the playoffs. That's an interesting thing. Is it? Yeah. That's an interesting stat. So anyway, when do the playoffs happen? When do playoffs start? Yeah. Oh, now you're asking questions. It's OK. I'm going to forget the second you tell me. So don't even worry about it. Soon. I'm out. In a few weeks. It doesn't even matter. Oh, yeah. And I beat you in fantasy. I know. I don't even care about football anymore. Just so you know. I don't even care about it anymore. Some sad news you told me yesterday. Oh, man. Rob Reiner had passed away. Yeah, it's it's kind of a crazy, somewhat gruesome story, which is not good. I was just looking at TMZ. They just updated the story. Their son, Nick, has been arrested in connection with the murder of his parents, which is incredibly sad. So sad. It's really, really sad. He is one of my favorites because he directed not only The Princess Bride. Yeah. When no one else would. I just read a behind the scenes. Yeah, you were reading the whole book about it. Yeah. About The Princess Bride. And that was one of his favorite books, as it was mine. That book is hilarious. If you've never read The Princess Bride, it is one of my. You have said that's a laugh out loud book for you. It's so good. And nobody else would direct that movie. And Rob Reiner was like, yeah, I'm going to do this. This is awesome. And so that's awesome. And then another favorite movie of mine that he directed is This Is Spinal Tap. Right. So we watched This Is Spinal Tap 2 last night as a homage to him. That's right. I kind of fell asleep. Well, you said you watched it. It was very good. Some of the other things he did stand by me when Harry Met Sally, Misery, A Few Good Men. So many. Yeah, he's done so many good stuff. Amazing, amazing films. And yeah, terrible, terrible tragedy. And a lot of information still unknown. But TMZ just a few minutes ago, updating the story that their son Nick has been officially arrested in connection with the parents' murder, which is which is super sad. Really, really tragic. But, you know, I don't know what else there is to say. I don't know. It's sad and tragic. That's that's wild. I do know from reading that behind the scenes of Princess Bride, and he like all of the cast and crew just thought the best of him. Like he was awesome. He listened to everybody's concerns and and he was awesome. So that's a that's a sad one. Yeah, big, big loss for for Hollywood, for sure. And and for fans. I mean, good dude. I'm sure Patikin's got a lot to say. I'm sure he's a lot. My buddy does, too. I know. We'll hear it eventually. I'm not I'm sure he hasn't said anything yet. I did see that a couple of people, Billy Crystal and Larry David, showed up at the house yesterday. Oh, really? They were like, what is going on? Yeah. So they they actually like just went to his house and were like, what is the deal? So that's really interesting. I'm sure there will be quite a bit of memorial service stuff for for Rob Reiner and and his wife as well. She is also a victim in this horrible thing. So yeah, sad news. I know. Sad, sad day. I'm sorry that you didn't win any fishing supplies. Well, you know, I won other things. I'll tell you that. I won time with with my cousin and his son. I won time with with other fishermen and and and other fisher ladies. I don't know the right word. You won some good tips. I got a slice of pizza or two. Hey, so that was nice. And look, I did I did get to talk fishing for a couple of hours, which is always good. So that was that was all fine. Yeah, but Fishmas is one of my favorite things that comes around just because it's a good day. I think this is probably your third or fourth year that you've been doing that. Right. Yeah, probably at least three. A local fly fishing shop. Yeah, this fish. Yes. And it's a great time. And I go and I hang out for a little while and it's a it's a it's a good event. You got a chance to win stuff. They gave away a thousand dollar fly rod. I did not win. And that's OK. Some, you know, you can't win. You can't win them all. A few years ago, I won a couple of really nice things, including the the sling bag I still use today when I go fly fishing. So I'm it's not like I haven't ever won. I have one. And it's also just good to go and hang out in the shop. It's it's good vibes. And I and I got talking with with some some folks about different fly tying patterns and different places to fish and different, you know, you start sharing pictures of the fish you caught. Your success stories and it's it's pretty good. You could call it a shop filled with liars, if you want, because it kind of feels like that sometimes we go, oh, look at this one. Look at this one. Oh, yes, biggest one you've ever seen. And I'm going to believe it when I show you the picture of this fish. I like to I like to break out my fishing pictures because they make me laugh because I I fish small water, little creeks, things like that. And so when I get to to show off my fishing pictures and they're, you know, little tiny ones, I go, look at them. Look at this monster. Why does it matter what size the fish is? OK, it doesn't matter. But when like some of the fish that I saw pictures of were just insane. Yeah, but like I'm talking cutthroat and brown trout like you wouldn't believe. I get that. But unbelievable. It should be amazing to catch the small fish, too. Look at this guy. I think he's the smallest one I've ever caught. That's exciting, too. I know. And people get excited about the little ones, too. I do. I had a very specific list of fish that I needed to catch this year. I had four very specific fish that I had to catch and I caught them. And I'm very excited about that. So I get to I like walking around going like, oh, yeah, I did that thing. Accomplished that thing this year. Did the thing. I'm excited to do the next one next year, which I really am, by the way. Why do you guys all talk like this? No, you know, you get out on the boat. You'd understand. You get out there. You don't get out on the boat. No, no, I get out on the waiters and I wander in and I catch the fish. Yeah. Yeah. It was a good one. You did by yourself some Christmas presents. You bought yourself some stuff. I handed you a bag of stuff and I said here, I didn't see any of this. And then you said, well, I'm going to go to my store and buy things for me and hand them to you. That sounds fine. It sounds nice, doesn't it? Yeah. Then that way, you know what you want. Because the things that you purchased for yourself, I looked at and went, I never want to have bought these. Well, but you also didn't know what the other things were. You were like, I don't even know what that is. I went, well, I do say the things you bought. Oh, I bought some strike indicators and some some several different packs of leaders in a hat. And you said, I wouldn't have picked that hat color for you. I wouldn't have picked that hat sign for you. It's a good looking hat. I'm excited about that. Certainly not the strikers or the strike indicators and the leaders. I I wouldn't have bought any of that. Oh, OK. I don't even know what those are. Yeah, they're important. It's OK. I was thought you maybe were going to explain it. It's OK. I don't need to know. It's just fly fishing stuff. Right. Yeah. Yeah. I'll wrap it up for you. And then I did get some materials so I could tie some fly some flies that I learned about. And then I was like, I should probably spend some time at the bench this weekend. That sounds like a good a good use of some time is to sit down and tie some stuff. And I went down and looked at my bench and we have to rearrange the basement to put the Christmas tree up. And so my my bench was like all a skew. None of my lights are plugged in. I'm like, this is just a mess. Like and I stuff everywhere from the last time I tied. And and so I was like, I really need to clean this up and get it organized before I can sit down and tie anything. So then I spent the entire afternoon just cleaning my tying bench. It's real clean. Now, here's something I found out. I've outgrown my one box of tying material. I need to get another box. Oh, no. Isn't that something? That's something I think that's pretty special. I thought that was pretty neat. It is pretty neat. Wow, is that? Yeah. So anyway, that's a good job. I'm your own Christmas presents. I don't know what you're talking about. I haven't seen a thing. OK. Forget you ever saw any. I don't even know what it is. We had our company Christmas party over the weekend. Yeah, it was pretty fun. I had a good time. I had a great time. I had foods. Yes, good. Yep. We had a wide elephant gift exchange. Yeah, what would you end up with? Guess. Socks. Cute, fuzzy socks. Some candies. And there was something else. Oh, and then a Grinch tumbler. So like the Grinch tumbler, I probably won't be wearing the cozy Santa socks. Why? It's not my style. Not my style, you know, I do know. Somehow you always end up with socks. I end up with socks or dishcloths, something always. I ended up with a super fun game and I wanted it and nobody stole it. It's called a hurry up chicken butt. Yeah. That is correct. You did end up with that. I think it'll be fun. I like a good game. It's like a hot potato game for four years and above. So it's right on target. It's perfect. I know. You got like nieces and the nephews that are going to love this. Grandnieces and nephews. My nieces and nephews are old now. Well, I've got a young nephew. Oh, yeah, that's right. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. So you've got two great nieces, three great nieces and a nephew on my side that would love to play hurry up chicken. I'd love to play with them. I know you want to play hurry up chicken butt. Of course they do. Let's do it. I also, they did a raffle. Yeah. And anybody can put in for the raffle. Right. And then you won. What did you win? Oh, you want to give certificate to a restaurant? Yeah. And then I won a box of meat. A box of meat. Which is great. No, I'm super appreciative. Yeah. Oh, it's great. I think it's awesome. And there was there was all kinds of meats in there. I feel kind of bad though, and I still feel a little bit bad because you do because we both won a prize. We both won a prize. And I'm also just a part timer. I see. And so I feel bad that you won a prize out of a random drawing. Yeah. That you didn't control. No, I know I didn't control it, but I still do feel like maybe I should have given this to a full timer because they work more than I do. I see. That's that's an interesting thing you got going on in there. And I did say that to another coworker. And he was like, well, then give it to me. Yeah. I was like, do you want it? I was going to give it to him. He's like, no, you want it. It's yours. But I do feel slightly like still. Yeah, there's been days you're still stewing on this. Kind of. Well, cut up some meat and stew on that. That was a good one. It was a good one. Well done. That's how you like your steak. Oh, two meat jokes. How many more you got? I don't know. A box full. Oh, hey, would you rather this or that? Would you rather have a visit from Santa Claus or from the Tooth Fairy? Santa. OK. Would you rather have a visit? No, it's just one. From Santa Claus or Cupid? Santa. OK. Would you rather have a visit from Santa Claus or the leprechaun on St. Patrick's Day? Santa. OK. Yeah, is that everyone? Easter Bunny. Oh, Easter Bunny. Would you rather? Santa. OK. Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy? Easter Bunny. I don't want to lose any more teeth. OK. I was thinking maybe you would just get money, but I forgot that you have to. It's an exchange. Right. It's not like she just delivers money. That's exactly what I'm saying. Yeah, I get what you're saying now. I was thinking, hmm, a present or money. Right. But change. Yeah, you got to give up stuff sometimes. Yeah, I don't I don't want to get rid of my teeth. Right. We used to ask our kids, what did the Tooth Fairy do with all of the teeth that she took? Yeah, I don't remember what they said. I think we decided that she used to make furniture out of them. Furniture? Yeah. Tooth furniture. It's kind of gross. I'm not excited about that. It's the two she loves teeth. Yeah, I know. She's not making furniture for you. I don't. I she's not making it for you. She's making it for her. They're like Pokemon cards. She's got to collect them all. Give me those teeth. All right. The answer is Santa. Yeah, I agree. Did you say Santa or the Easter Bunny? Still Santa? Yeah. OK. Yeah. Yeah, same. Yeah. Yeah, same. Yeah. 100%. All right. The answer is Santa. The question was, would you rather this or that? We happened to be at a hospital on Saturday, a pretty large hospital in Utah. Yeah. And my mom was in there and you she had a pretty good view of the I tell you Salt Lake Valley. It was a pretty decent view. Yeah, we the window in her room was facing to the west. And so I could see that west bench, which was beautiful, like really nice mountains. And we were like on the 11th floor in this building. And so we could see pretty far, which was nice. And I could see most of West Valley City and in that area. But what I thought was really interesting is there there's this there's this weird thing about being up high that you can see a lot of cars and people and they look like ants. And so I was I was kind of enamored because I could see the freeway and I could see all these people like going places. And I'm like, man, that's a lot of people buzzing about. And then this parking lot is full and there's people coming to, you know, the hospital opens like eight o'clock or whatever for visitors and there's a lot of people parked. And so I was looking out there and I was like, I wonder how many cars are in one row? Twenty one is the answer. And then there's like 10 rows. And so then I went, that's 210 cars. You know, like just in that middle section of that one parking lot we parked in was over 200 cars. Well, maybe you laugh them out. That's a lot of cars. I didn't realize that you were down there just counting looking at the window when I walked over there and I was like, hey, this is actually a pretty good view. And I look at the window, you go, oh, there's 10. There's 10 cars in each row. And there's 20 rows in each other way. But yeah, it doesn't matter. You broke down all of the numbers for me. And I was like, oh, could you? But I didn't count the outer parking lot or the. You fit in for a minute. Yeah. Counting. Yeah, I had been. I should have counted only the blue cars, like the song said. That would have been better. That would have been better. You're right. I should have said there are 36 blue cars. I think there you should have counted the white cars because I think that is the most common. You think that's the most common? I think that's the most common. I would disagree. What one do you think? I think darker colors are way more common than white cars. I disagree with you. Well, I don't have the stats. No, I don't either. And it doesn't matter, does it? But I can tell you that that one parking lot had over 200 cars in it. In case you were wondering. Yeah, it was pretty awesome. It's a lot of cars. I was really blown away at how small 200 cars actually was. And I went, that's actually like you can get 200 cars pretty quick. You sure can. All right, I just googled what's the most common color of car. It's gotta be a dark color. It says white is the most common color globally and in the US, consistently topping popularity charts. And then it's followed by black, gray and silver. Yeah, I would say black is number one. The number two. I bet it's number one. I just googled it. Go outside and count some cars. Okay, I will. All right. Hey, let's wrap up the show for today, huh? Sounds like a plan. All right, have a good rest of your Monday. We are 10 days away from Christmas, so good luck with all that. And thanks for hanging out. Bustle, they say. Mm-hmm, that's what they say. We'll catch you back here tomorrow. See ya. Bye. Thanks for listening to Wake Up Classy 97, the podcast.
