Do you do you say happy Krampusnacht? Is that I don't say anything. But is that how you celebrate it? Sure. It is Krampus night or Krampusnacht.
K. It is, associated with the feast of Saint Nicholas. It is a tradition believed to have started in Germany many centuries ago. Is this the guy that leaves you leave your shoes out the door, and he'll fill your shoes with candy and Or coins? And treats?
Let's see. I don't know. Krampus is a mythological character appearing in the, sort of horned, monster goat thing who sometimes has a scraggly hairy body as well as a long tongue. Sometimes the monster is depicted wearing chains. The wicked hairy devil is what he's called.
Oh. Sometimes he appears on the streets. Well yeah. Sometimes accompanying Saint Nicholas and sometimes on his own. Interesting.
Well, in celebration of Krampusnacht Yeah. Children in Germany and other, countries who enjoy this tradition will leave a boot outside the door Knew it. So that Saint Nicholas can fill your boot. The hope is that it will be filled with something good, but it is also possible that Krampus will fill it with something unpleasant like a stick. This well, this says that Krampus beats kids who are naughty with branches and sticks.
Right. Oh my. There's a Krampus run that ham happens, during the kompa Krampusloff. There's so many of these fantastic words. And there are parades that are popular in, like, story in Alpine town Alpine towns.
And then Munich, Germany also has a like, hundreds of people show up dressed as Krampus or Saint Nicholas, and they run-in these things. I wanna go do that. That would be an interesting thing. Yeah. This tradition is newer to North America.
New Orleans can be counted on to supply a parade. So His name comes from the word crampon, which means claw. Uh-huh. So he's like claw man, which sounds less scary. Claw man?
Yeah. Then then Krampus? Yeah. Yeah. Well, today is Krampuschnacht.
Yeah. So I guess do what you do. I I've never participated. Either, but you can eat all kinds of, German food on Kramblesnacht, like German potato salad and German schnitzel and other German things. And other German things.
Yeah. Cool. Alright. Happy. And if that's not your speed, it is also bathtub party day.
I love bathtub. They call bathtub party day, but it should be called hot tub day because it's about, soaking in some hot water. Whether that's doing your own solo thing with some chamomile and lavender or grapefruit and ginger, which can give you some energy Okay. Or pumpkin spice bath. I've never done any of those things for taking bath.
Oil bath Oh, that sounds nice. Get you in the holiday spirit. Yeah. Yeah. You could try scented bath bombs.
I could. You can you could just have a hot tub party with friends. I'm just gonna have a bathtub solo party. Alright. I'm gonna take some tub snacks, and I'm gonna have myself a time.
Or Or Krampuschnot. But not both. Sure. Warm up after the parade. The the Krampusnacht.
Go clear to New Orleans to have a Krampus festival in America. That would be fun. It would be fun. Except I think it'd be more fun in Germany. Oh, I do too.
It'd be way more fun to do it, like, traditional. Yeah. I think it'd be really cool. Anyway Happy Thursday. Good morning.
Have you heard of the Holly dog? Nope. What is it? You just had this music on standby? Uh-huh.
Good job. I didn't remember that you had this song, but I'm glad that you did because that was a funny joke. Good job, Josh. Anytime. The holly dog is Sam's Club's new thing that they're trying out.
It's not here in Idaho. They're trying it out in New York, in Dallas, and in Nashville. And it's for one day only that you can try the Holly dog. What is it? The Holly dog is a hot dog Mhmm.
That combines Thanksgiving and Christmas, and there's a couple of different options that you can pick. Menu options. A hot dog with turkey on one side and prime rib roast on the other, a dog a hot dog topped with mashed potatoes on one side and Christmas cookies on the other, or a hot dog topped with pumpkin pie on one side and candy canes on the other. So if you get all 3, you get the one hot dog with your main, the one hot dog with your sides, and then the last hot dog with your desserts. I'm not into it.
You're not interested? Well, like I said, you can only get it in Nashville, Dallas, or New York. No. Or you can make your own using your own concoctions. Put mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese.
I don't like it. I You haven't even tried it. How can you say you don't like it if you haven't even tried it? Hot dogs and candy canes. What an interesting flavor combination that is.
Are you gonna try it? No. Yeah. See? You haven't tried it.
You might love it. It might be exactly what you've been waiting for your whole life. Plus, the hot dogs there at Sam's Club, no offense to Sam's Club hot dogs. They give me such an upset tummy. I know.
They make me belch all afternoon. It's not great. It might be if it's mashed potatoes. Did I say is mashed potatoes? You said topped with mashed potatoes, and I'm gonna tell you Christmas cookies.
I've had, which is not it. No. I've had potatoes, mashed potatoes and hot dogs together before. You have? And it's awful.
I have had that too. I don't think that's awful. I think the mashed potatoes is probably the best option in this hot dog combination. The turkey and the prime rib roast? That's so much meat.
You're gonna your heart's gonna collapse. Well, some not I don't like prime rib. No. Me neither. It's a prime rib.
Yeah. You're right. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
I don't I don't like prime rib. Okay. So we said no to those ones. What about the hot dog with the pumpkin pie? You might like that one.
Creamy pumpkin pie. I might like to have With a hint of spring I might like to eat a hot dog and then have a slice of pumpkin pie, but I'm not gonna put the pie on my hot dog. No. Or chop up your hot dog, put little pieces of hot dog in your pumpkin pie. Why ruin my pie?
Smush them in there. I'm not gonna smush anything. That's gross. I'm not gonna do it. I I don't like that this exists.
Well, they're just testing it out just to see. Now I hope it fails. Ouch. I don't think we need this. We don't need this.
I'm with you. We don't need this. I'm not being cranky. I'm just saying a little cranky. I don't I don't need it in my life.
That's all I'm trying to say. I where's, like, the stuffing? They why didn't they do, like, a mashed potatoes and stuffing one instead of the Christmas cookies? No. You know what I'm saying?
I know what you're saying. It's not it. Oh. But thanks for bringing it to my attention. New York, Dallas, sir.
10 10 Nashville? Yep. Yeah. Jay and Judy Brizzy Brizzy. They're from Greenwood, South Carolina.
They like Chick Fil A. K. They go to Chick Fil A a lot. Okay. Over the past 8 years, through the, rewards program at Chick Fil A, they have earned 202,000 Chick Fil A reward points.
I mean how difficult it is to earn points at restaurants. Yeah. So they do love Chick Fil A a lot, it sounds like. So instead of using those points for themselves to eat free Chick Fil A probably for a very, very, very long time Yeah. Jay and Judy decided they wanted to share Chick Fil A by providing lunch for the residents of the Burton Center, which is a facility for people with disabilities and special needs.
That's so lovely. Judy is a former teacher. She was especially moved because she was able to reconnect with some of her former students at this facility. She said I've gotten a little emotional because it brought back a lot of pleasant memories. Here's the situation with the rewards points.
Somehow, throwing this entire party has used exactly half of their points. They still have 101,000 points. So they're gonna have another party? So they plan to throw another Chick fil A party with a local children's home Yay. Very soon.
So, yeah, they're just they got more points. Jim and Judy. Points, more Chick Fil A parties. That's how you use your points, Jay and Judy. Sorry.
Jay and Judy. Yeah. You guys are awesome. Yep. Well done.
Good job, Jay and Judy. Jay or Jim? Jay? Jay. Jay and Judy got it.
Brissy from Greenwood, South Carolina. It's good news to get you going. Country Living did a big article on Christmas trees Uh-huh. And whether or not you should wash them before you bring them into your house. Now Real or artificial?
Talking about real trees. Uh-huh. But you could wash your artificial trees. Maybe they get a little bit dusty in storage. Don't wash our tree.
I'm never gonna wash your tree. You could shake it maybe. Take it outside and give it a shake. Could put it upside down and wipe it off with a washcloth at the end of the season. That would be fine.
Are you saying me? No. I'm just saying it's pre lit, and there's electrical running through the connections in the in the center. Don't just hose it off. No.
I'm not going to say it. Saying. Not going to say it. If I was bringing home a a tree from the woods Uh-huh. You're gonna wash it off?
Never washed it. We've done that. I didn't wash the tree. A lot of people are saying that it can get rid of any bugs that might be living there, so you just spray it down with a hose and then let it dry. This is Who's got their hose out?
Right? A very exactly. It's not a very practical idea if you live somewhere cold because then you're gonna have to let it dry outside, and then it's gonna freeze if you leave it out too long, and then you're gonna have to let it dry again. And bringing a wet Christmas tree inside your house doesn't sound like the best idea either. Most experts are saying that the bugs that live in your tree are harmless.
And once you bring them inside where it's warm, they die off pretty quick anyway. So Or Just give it had some sort of some sort of beetle in the trunk of that that was like a larvae that was waiting for warmer temperatures, would it hatch? Would you then have potential beetles around? I don't know the answer to this. This is a question.
Gonna wash it off. The beetle is not gonna stop the beetles. No. If they're in the trunk, I just don't think this is a very good idea. Washing the tree?
Yeah. Yeah. I don't think it's a good idea to wash the tree. I don't think it's necessary. It's in it's in your house for a couple of weeks.
I think maybe just give it a shake, shake, shake. Uh-huh. And then bring it inside. And then what you get is what you get. Right.
You get what you get, and you don't throw them in. Sometimes it might be a squirrel. Sometimes it might be, infestation of praying manti. The practices. There was a story we read a couple years ago where there was a bunch of praying mantis.
And it hatched. Oh, just get a fakey. That's my advice. Don't hose it off. Don't hose it off.
Unless it's not pre lit. If you're if you're dealing with that, like our old, old one, we could hose that thing off before. Not gonna I'm still not gonna hose it off. Do you know how long it would take to dry? Hose it off in the spring or the summer so it's clean then.
Get it get it down from storage. I can't be bothered. I can't. Exactly. I'm shaking my head going, no.
I'm just not ever gonna do this. My dirty, dusty Christmas tree is what it is. Take it. Facts. Okay.
Here's the story about my tent that is now successfully on my truck. Because, we talked a little bit about it yesterday. We're trying to solve the, the retrofit, trying to make it all work from my old truck to my new truck. Uh-huh. And I figured it out.
I've I actually had to get a little bit creative, I guess. I had to sort of manufacture some things, and I didn't know what I was doing. And so I reached out to some people that know what they're doing, and I said, hey. Here's what I need to do. And they said, yeah.
We can make that. And I went, cool. Awesome. So I've made some well, I paid someone to make some metal pieces for me. Uh-huh.
And, and it ended up working out great. I came home from It's heavy. Right. I came home from work last night Mhmm. And your tent was on your truck.
Right. And I had sent you a a text with a picture and stuff, and I said, hey. Good news. You don't have to help lift the thing. Took care of it, Beck and I.
So you're all good off the hook. Phew. Yeah. Because I know you were worried about how to help lift that thing. I absolutely was.
It is, it's more awkward than heavy. I mean, it is heavy, but it's not it's not impossible for 2 people to take care of it, clearly. Good job. So it's back on, which is great. 2 injuries Oh, no.
That I sustained. Oh, no. And both of them, strangely, I thought to myself, I should probably, take a precaution to avoid that injury. Both times, I I consciously thought that right before the injury thing happened. Where did you get your injuries?
Well, the first one is I was drilling the holes, for the, for the bolts, with the new, metal drill bit. Worked great, by the way. Good job. Good drill bit. Good job.
Yeah. Fantastic metal drill bit. It's it's good when you have the right tool for the job. It makes the job a lot easier. I'm sure it does.
So, I mean, like like, a hot knife through butter cutting through the, drilling through those holes. And I'm thinking to myself, I probably should have on eye protection right now because there's these little metal shards that are coming out. And I was far enough back, and they were they weren't, like, flying. They were they were just kind of, like, falling off. Bro.
And I I thought to myself, eye protection seems smart. Yeah. And right as I thought that, a little thing flew into my eye, and I went Gosh. No way did that just happen. So then I was like, okay.
It's still in there. I've gotta go get this thing out. So I'm, you know, looking in the mirror, trying to get this little tiny piece of metal without scratching my eye. It was a whole thing. Your eye doctor would be so mad at you.
And so then I put on eye protection. So Good job. Yeah. How did you get it out? How'd you get the metal shard out?
I just I was able to get it onto my, eyelid, and then I just pulled it off. It was fine. It was smaller than a grain of rice. It was a little itty bitty. Did you get your other injury?
So injury number 2. I'm thinking I probably should be wearing gloves because this is metal that's been cut and and bent, and there's sharp edges. Uh-huh. And I there's a good chance that if I'm not wearing gloves, that I could slide my hand on the edge of this thing and and slice it. And that doesn't seem like it's be and then it happened just on my thumb real gently, but right in the crack.
My god. Right in the, in inner, knuckle. So I got I got this little tiny little scratch. You're lucky. I know.
Dude. But then I put on gloves. Good job. I know so many people right now who are like I know. You idiot.
I know. You idiot. Yeah. Yeah. So, hey, if you get those cool premonitions that maybe something might happen, take the action immediately.
Like, put the tool down, and then take the safety precautions. Beforehand. Yeah. Before you start your project, though That's real good. What kind of safety devices do I need before I begin this project?
Yeah. Eye protection and gloves, when you're working with metal, specifically. Real smart. And wood, actually, even. And anything.
Yeah. Just be safe. I know. My But I'm good. I have to pay for your medical bills.
You know? So let's not do that. Yeah. I'll be better. Yeah.
You will. You know that song chestnuts roasting on an open fire? Mhmm. Have you ever even had chestnuts? Mm-mm.
Me neither. Why don't we? How come you can't just get roasted chestnuts? I'm sure you can. I'll tell you why.
Because the American chestnut tree Yeah. Which once produced abundant chestnuts for roasting was wiped out, nearly wiped out, by a fungal blight No way. In the early 20th century, leaving very few native chestnut trees to harvest from. Wow. Most chestnuts today are imported from other countries.
No kidding. So that song needs to take a revamp, I think. And instead of chestnuts, what are you gonna roast? Marshmallows Almonds. Roasted almonds.
Pecans? Yeah. They do plenty of roasted almonds and pecans every store you go to. Not every store. The shelves in particular that you walk in and you go, oh, there's that roasted nut smell.
Right? There's that store. There's also the kiosk thing at, like, shopping centers and malls and things. You know what? I actually wanna try some roasted chestnuts.
I've never tried this. I would like to do that. Where So you can roast them in the oven, or you can roast them over a fire. On an open fire? Right.
Like a fire pit. Wonder if that was actually was that a real thing? Like, did people used to sit around and roast chestnuts over an open fire? Yeah. That was a thing people did?
I'm sure it is because you were also trying to stay warm. You can buy fresh chestnuts at a lot of grocery stores, starting around Thanksgiving time. You can also buy them online. When choosing chestnuts in the produce section, avoid ones that have any blemishes, small holes, or signs of rot. It says to choose chestnuts that are shiny and smooth, and give them a squeeze.
They should feel very firm. If the shell makes a crunch sound, they're probably a little old. Okay. Horse chestnuts, also known as buckeyes, are not used for roasting as they are poisonous. Okay.
Do not get buckeyes. You can buy just to a local grocery store. You can get a bag of roasted chestnuts. They're already Pre roasted? They're shelled.
They're pretty rough. The fun in that? They're ready to eat. I I just wanna try one. I've never tried one.
So I wanna go and get one and try it. I don't need to roast it myself. You see what I'm saying? Yeah. I get it.
Oh. It's kind of a process to make That's the roasted chestnuts. Yeah. I'll just do it already done. Yeah.
You probably should just do it already done. I probably will. Whatever that means. Do it already done. I'll try 1.
Okay. One chestnut. We're gonna pick up some roasted chestnuts. Alright. If you have any tips, any hot tips on where to get roasted chestnuts, please call us at 208-525-9797.
Let us know where you get your roasted chestnuts. I think we're probably the only people that are gonna be doing the roasted chestnut thing. No. Come on. Everybody do this with us.
Everybody? Everybody have roast chestnuts tonight. Tonight. Or sometime. This season.
Between now and Christmas. Here's the question for you. What's the question? In what ways do you still feel like you're a big kid? Most ways?
Give me an example. When whatever hobby I have, video games, the food I prefer to eat. I'll tell you in a way that I feel like that. That I I fell in love with this as a career profession when I was 12, and I'm still doing it today. It's a good profession.
Yeah. No. I know. I I wanted to be on the radio when I was 12, and I'm doing it as well well beyond 12 years old. One of my ways, I still feel like a big kid, is on the weekends, we like to lounge about in the morning when we don't have other plans.
True. And I you have taken the lead on making breakfast a lot of those days. And when you're unable to or you're not around, I just kinda, like, walk around the kitchen going like, who's gonna make me breakfast? Who's responsible for making me breakfast? Yourself.
This last weekend, we were out of town. Mhmm. You were not feeling well, and I kind of padded around in that Airbnb kitchen going, I'm hungry. Who's gonna make breakfast? Who is in charge of breakfast?
Who is gonna feed me? I mean, you you could do it. I could. I just don't want to. And then there's kid there's other people around me going, hey.
What's who's gonna feed me? And I go, oh, no. I'm not responsible. I don't know who you think is responsible, but it's not me. I'm not the adult.
I'm a kid. I have you. Totally enabled you. You really have. It's it's gross.
Like It is gross. You should you should be able to make your own breakfast. I do know how to make my own breakfast. No. I know you don't how.
Be clear. You should find that motivation easily. 4. I've made breakfast before. But But Was the breakfast up to your standards when you made it yourself?
No. Because food for me always tastes better when somebody else makes it for me. I see. Is that not true for you? I like my cooking.
I feel good about eating what I cook. You're saying you don't like my cooking? I did not say that. Mhmm. That's what it sounded like.
I absolutely did not say that. Not even I didn't even hint at that. I asked if the breakfast you made for yourself was up to your own standards, and you said no. I made breakfast for everybody last week. It was just easy eggs and bacon and toast.
Yeah. I remember. And? It was fine. It was an easy breakfast.
It was easy because we were in a we were in a hurry to go, and no one had made breakfast. Eggs Benedict. So I said, I'm gonna you did make eggs Benedict once while we were camping. I know. That was pretty spectacular.
Home a couple of times. I've done it camping. I've I've done plenty of different things. I've done homemade blueberry scones in the air fryer. I've done lots of different things.
I know you have. I always come back to breakfast burritos because it's easy. And delicious. But that's, you know, just one thing. You can make all of it.
I know I can. I just don't want to. I see. Josh. I see.
Well because I'm just a big kid. Somebody's gonna take care of me. Mhmm. I'm the baby. And that has to be you.
You sign up for this. Oh, it doesn't has to be, but it gets to be. Yeah. Yeah. It gets to be.
It gets to be me. You're so lucky. I know. I know. Every day I say, I'm the luckiest man.
This is me. This is my life. The luckiest man. We watched a Christmas movie last night. And in the movie, Santa visits all these kids and then, leaves them presents.
And then the kids it shows the kids waking up and then immediately opening their presents. Right. No parents awake. Yeah. Nothing.
And I went, oh, that would never fly in my house. No way. I'd be so mad if I woke up and my kids had opened all their presents and I wasn't there to watch it all. There are people who do that, though. There are?
Yeah. There are people that just rush the tree. I think so. Right? In the movies.
In the movies, there are. Our kids knew from an early age. 1, you don't even go peek at the tree Right. Or what's under the tree until mom and dad are away. Right.
Because I wanna see those faces. Right. And we all have to experience the magic of Christmas morning together. Probably the slowest going on Christmas morning. You are.
And always have been. Yeah. I don't know. I'm trying to remember, like, as a kid, was I the first up? I don't know that I was.
I think I probably was. No. It was my brother. My brother was always pretty excited about Christmas morning, so he was always the first one awake. Followed by me.
And then the 2 of us would be like, let's go let's go peek. And then I feel like you would be a peeker. I am a peeker. Yeah. For sure.
Yeah. Because you love a secret surprise. I hate secrets. Secret surprises are your favorite favorite thing. I will when our kids were much smaller, I do, and I was a much lighter sleeper.
I would wake up when they woke up because you could hear them kind of, like, sneaking past the bedroom and kinda whispering to each other going, can we go like, are they awake? Should we go see? Can we go peek? And then we decided to put our tree. Our tree used to be upstairs, and then we moved our tree downstairs.
Right. And then we put up a baby gate. And then we put up true like, cans on strings. Yeah. Yeah.
Yep. I forgot we did that. Through the obstacle course. I dare you. Without waking up mom and dad.
Uh-huh. You sneaks. You didn't get to go look at the tree before mom and dad are awake. That's not fair. But now then, they're they're just waiting.
They're like, hey. Are you guys gonna get up? Because we're we're ready. We're we're ready. Are you guys gonna wake up?
Because we're tired of standing upstairs. Are you ready? Hey. Are you are you ready to go downstairs? Delay it too as long as possible.
I think you purposely go, oh, okay. Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I gotta get stressed through.
Okay. I gotta I don't wanna go get started and then have to stop. Let me get all the stuff out of the way. I'm gonna take care of the dog. We gotta like, there's stuff that has to happen.
And then we'll be like, okay. Now let's all go downstairs. See what's going on. Take our time. What do you remember?
Because it's over so fast. It is over so fast. Do you remember the earliest you ever woke up as a kid? I couldn't tell you. I think our kids woke up at 3 once.
And we went with it. We were like, okay. Let's do it. Did we? 1 year, and then we were like, nah.
Because then you were beat tired, but we thought, you know, they were they were little enough. We thought this will be fun. Let's just do this crazy thing and see what happens, and, it was not we'll nap. Right? We'll take a nap.
I don't remember tired. Going with that. Only once. Are you sure we did? I'm pretty sure one time.
And every other time, we've been like, no. Go back to bed. Go back. You have 4 more hours at least. Yeah.
Yeah. Let's call it, like, 7. Yeah. 7 sound good? 6:7 is a pretty optimal time.
6:37? Yeah. Yeah. 6:30 to 7 will be awake. I think you have to get it before the sun comes up too because There have also been times, which is easy, you know, this time of year.
But we've also had times where we've had to wake them up. Yeah. We have had that before. Which has happened. But, anyway no.
Don't just rush the tree. That's strange. Yeah. Get out of here. Yeah.
That was the most unbelievable thing in that movie, and there was a lot of unbelievable things. Okay. Okay. Kids just rushing rushing to the tree and start opening stuff. I don't like, little kids.
You can't even read yet. Kids don't know which one that is for? In the Christmas story. Oh, this one's mine. Wow.
Wow. This is mine, that kid. Randy. Randy. Every year, I make a sugar cookie for Santa Claus Mhmm.
On Christmas Eve. This is a Christmas Eve tradition that me and the kids partaked partook? Partook in? Partaken? Partaken in?
Partake still actively. The kids and I would make cookies. Beck dropped out couple of years ago, so then it just became me and Emery. And then I dropped out a couple of years ago, so then it just became Emery because sugar cookies are a lot of work. It has recently come to my attention that you don't even like those sugar cookies.
I don't like sugar cookies in general. And you said, maybe we should make a different cookie for Santa. Yeah. Maybe Santa doesn't even like sugar cookies. Yeah.
Well, how do we know? I don't know what kind of cookies Santa likes. We watched a show, just last night, where we found out Santa doesn't like macaroons. So That was that Santa, though. I'm just saying I I there's there's lots of cookie varieties, and I'm I'm just straight up saying that maybe there's another option.
And maybe you can still continue the cookie making tradition without having to have that cookie be the center of attention. Okay. Maybe there's a different better cookie. What cookie would you like to leave for Santa this year? I don't know.
I I don't know. You're right. Santa never tells us what kind of cookie he does. I don't know the answer to that. I know that Good question.
When we would probably leave 3 or 4 cookies on the Santa plate, and he would eat a couple. So there was always 2 remaining. And I would say, oh, next morning, Christmas morning. Yeah. I guess I'll eat these sugar cookies that Santa left behind.
Right. You would never extra cookies. I would offer you one, and he would say, oh, no. Thank you. Right.
No sugar cookies for me, please. Right. Watching my figure. Probably watching. I look I just for me, the sugar cookie is like to leave for sandwiches here.
The the sugar cookie is is a boring cookie. Are you serious? That's just my my hot take. I don't particularly like it. And you feel very good about, your recipe.
Yeah. You like the sugar cookie recipe. And you you like it, and that's great. And other people are like, yes. Those are delicious.
They're boring to me. Wow. What's that? I just personally prefer many other cookies. Think you know a person.
Yeah. But as far as what does Santa want? I don't know. I don't know. I couldn't tell you.
I I will ask. Is happy with any cookie that's left. I will ask and find out unless it's a macaroon according to the To that movie? Show we watched. Yeah.
What about we could make and here's the thing. I love sugar cookies, but they are a pain to make. They are time consuming. You have to make the dough, and then you have to Chill it. Chill it.
You have to roll it, and then you have to do the cutters, and then you have to bake them, and then you have to let them cool, and then you have to frost them, and then you have to pile them up, and then you end up with a pile of sugar cookies Yes. That I don't even wanna eat. That's no. Sugar cookies are a pain. So if we cannot make sugar cookies, I'm happy with that.
An easy cookie. No bake cookie. Delicious. Okay. Doesn't require baking.
Still can do a tradition of making a cookie. I was thinking that, coconut cherry one. Oh, mill raisin cookies are delicious. Yeah. I You're talking about the lemon zest one with the, with the almond, stuff.
That's a good cookie. A good cookie. It's a great cookie. Not what was the one you said? Just a minute ago.
There was something oatmeal. Oatmeal raisin raisin. For Christmas morning? So delicious. Thank you.
You said that's a breakfast of cookies. It kind of is. So I guess it would work for Christmas morning. Yeah. But oatmeal raisin is never gonna be a a fresher choice cookie.
You're so wrong. I am so right. Wrong o, buddy. So right? Oatmeal raisin over sugar cookie?
Every time. Get out of here. Every single time. So fired. We gotta talk about football a little bit because you and I are, playing against each other.
And I saw, first of all, you have, offloaded a bunch of your team They were all on a bye week. Which you don't have to offload. You just have to put them on the bench. No. But I didn't have room on my bench.
I didn't have room on my bench for my kicker. I didn't have room on my bench for my defense, so I had to get all new stuff. Well Well, what? Here we go. Final week of regular season fantasy football for you and I.
Look at us. And we're at a 50 50 matchup. You have you have moved yourself into a 50 50%, matchup with me. So we'll see what happens. I had to bench my quarterback.
Mhmm. I had Lamar Jackson, and now I've got Joe Burrow. Mhmm. I did have Sam Darnold, the quarterback of the Vikings, on my bench, and I went, oh, I could play Sam Darnold. He's been doing great, but I feel like maybe I could have somebody better.
I didn't have room. I mean, you just dumped the guy. I can get him back if I want him back. Wild. Well, so here's, here's the deal.
I got Joe Burrow who Joe Burrow plays for the Cincinnati Bengals. Yeah. Joe Burrow is having an amazing season. Phenomenal season. His team is not doing well.
They are 4 and 8. His team is letting him down in a very big way, and I feel bad for the guy because he is performing in an amazing way. And his coach and team are Yeah. Struggling. Yeah.
Here's, here's the deal. I was looking at this earlier, and they they've, kinda started to paint the playoff picture. As of right now, the Chiefs and Bills are clinched into the playoffs. They Chiefs. Will be there in the playoffs.
There are 5 available playoff spots remaining in the AFC. There are 7 remaining in the NFC. No one in the NFC is clinched. Oh, who's in the NFC? Well, you.
Here's That's my division? Yeah. Lions, Eagles. Vikings. Right now, Lions are, are first in the hunt for the playoffs, then the Eagles, then the Seahawks, then the Falcons, then the Vikings.
That's not in my division. I didn't say your division. They're in your conference. Oh, you're talking conference? I don't know about that.
NFC. I don't I don't know about that. Alright. So, so let's let's talk about your Vikings. 102 Yeah.
2nd in the NFC North Yes. Behind the Lions who are 11 and 1. You're in a good position. And I know listen. I know that I'm supposed to hate the Lions because they're in my division, but the Lions, I would really love to see go to the Super Bowl.
Yeah. I get you. And they are doing a phenomenal job. I really enjoy watching the Lions play. And their coach, Dan Campbell?
Yeah. Dude, that dude is such a rough and tumble dude. I love that guy. Alright. But let's talk about where this puts your Vikings.
In order for them to, continue climbing Uh-huh. There's a very, very good likelihood. And as a matter of fact, this week, you're gonna see it. They're against the Falcons. The Vikings are?
Yeah. Oh, it's Kirk Cousins' revenge game. That is correct. It is the Kirk Cousins' revenge game. Oh.
The Falcons are 6 and 6. They are are doing good. Although Kirk Cousins had a terrible week last week. Know. How many interceptions did he have?
3, I think, in that. He had more than that. He had at least 4 or 5. In the one game? Yes.
I thought it was only 3. No. He had he had more than Mahomes. Oh. He doesn't have more than Mahomes all season, though.
Mahomes still holds that record. Yeah. But, anyway, the falcons are number 4 in the NFC, and the Vikings are number 5 in the NFC. So there there is this game, this week, Falcons, Vikings, and, it's gonna be interesting to see what happens. Late to see that game.
Mhmm. What game what when is that? That game is Sunday Sunday. At 11 AM. They're all they're always at 11.
Well, yeah, that's when Sunday morning football starts. I know, but why can't we get a better spot? Tonight's a great game. Tonight is Detroit and Green Bay, which is gonna be a lot of fun. Take it.
It's that's a really tough sweep those. Divisionals. Game, which is that's a good one. And then, yeah, you've got Sunday morning, Atlanta, Minnesota. Who else is playing of note?
I don't know. Cleveland and Pittsburgh are playing on Sunday. Cleveland. Browns. The Browns.
I'm trying to see who else. And then you've got the Monday night game as Cincinnati and Dallas. So, we'll see. Sunday night is, the chargers and, the Chiefs. So Kirk Cousins, Vikings revenge game.
Watch this. Yeah. I think that'll be a fun and exciting one for you. Come on, Vikings. You show him what you can do without him.
Okay. Look at I I started watching him all because of Kirk Cousins, but he bailed. He loved. It's gonna be a fun game for you, Sunday morning. Yeah.
I hope we I really like watching the Falcons, and I do still really like Kirk Cousins, but I really hope the Vikings just sweep the floor with those Falcons. It's gonna be weird when your, your old defense is now responsible for tackling you. I know. That's gotta be a weird place to be at. Weird.
Weird. Weird. Would you rather this or that? That's the name of the, what, segment? Yeah.
The the bit of the program? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Where yeah.
Yeah. Where, you say, 2 things, and we talk about it and decide which we would rather. Would you rather this or that? Would you rather build a snowman or make snow angels? I have never built a successful snowman.
Are you serious? I'm serious. I've built snowmen. God, it's been a long time since I've even attempted to build a snowman. The last time I attempted to build a snowman was with Bec when he was little.
I guess it was with Beck and Emery. Is it and it was the out front. The the lumpy thing. It was a lumpy snowman. Right.
He was tiny. I don't even think he was 2 feet tall. Maybe even yeah. He was a lump. It was more of a it looked like a he'd melted into the ground.
He was a lump man. A lump man. Yeah. I wouldn't even call it a snowman. It was a lump man.
Uh-huh. Or a lump woman. Feel really bad that you haven't successfully built a snowman. Now not a good time to bring it up because No. You can't.
I know. However What? Like, I feel like this year is your year. I'm gonna get you out there building a real snowman. Okay.
I have his little snowman kit for everything. I know you do. I'm gonna pick a snowman because, honestly, I think that's more fun. You can make a snow angel once, and then you go, okay. Well, that was fun.
You can't make a lot of snow angels. And that's can make as many snow angels as you want. As many as you want, but at some point, it's gonna get boring, and I feel like it's gonna get boring after the first one. You do? Yeah.
Here's why I like a snow angel. It's just laying down and then swinging your arms and legs a bit and then getting up. The hardest part of snow angel making is trying to avoid footprints. Yeah. I know.
And and how do you stand yourself back up? Because you can walk over, and you can go flump, and you're like, this is gonna be sweet. And then you do your, you know Yeah. Your moves. Flying.
Yeah. Your wings and then your and your legs. Yeah. And then, you go to get up, and then you start making dents. Yeah.
And that's just And then it gets ruined. Yeah. I know. It's exactly what you're talking about. Challenge.
You gotta be able to somehow get up. What are you picking? Snowman. Snowman. Yeah.
For the win. Yeah. Would you rather this or that? It's come to my attention that I am no good at making paper snowflakes. You said this.
You watched a video, and I haven't seen I haven't even seen what you made over here. I've been excited to, to see. But you Well, I dug them out of the trash. Oh, you had thrown them away. Yeah.
Are they still in 1 piece, or did you cut them all up? They're a little crinkled, but they're in 1 piece. Alright. So you were over there, and you were kept watching this video over and over and over and over for a long time. And I was like, what is she doing?
Couple of videos. Okay. But it over and over and over. And then you're, like, you're saying things to yourself, like, okay. And then you and I couldn't hear what you were saying.
And then you just stopped, and you said, well, I'm no good at making snowflakes. And I said, what? I I gotta see it. So let's see it. Hold it up.
What have you got? The idea was that I had this really good idea that, you know, in Elf, when they all go to the gross the the department store Yeah. And he's made the Yeah. The whole place looks like, like a crazy north pole. Yeah.
I was like, I'm gonna do that. I'm gonna hang up snowflakes. Because we don't have enough hanging from the ceiling yet. So here's here's this one. That's a cool one.
It's tiny. It's so little. I don't know why it's so small. Because you cut all the paper away. Well, it's that's what you're supposed to do, but I think I I drew out my design too small.
That's a cool one. K. And that one looks like a like a star. And then there's this one. That's like a negative snowflake.
Where'd the snowflake go? I got it. But it looks like Yeah. It looks like swords. Well, that's just how you cut it.
It's a cool one too. No. Those are not great. I really like the, the inside. The little thins the thin part inside is my favorite.
What do you mean? This part? Yeah. That and then Or this? Yeah.
See how you've got the little thin lines with the in the middle part? Yeah. I think that's cool. Well I don't know how you did that. I've never had one do that.
Woody, I don't know what you're saying about that. Saying you're not good. Those are the best snowflakes I've seen in a long time. No, Josh. Those are great.
I'm gonna get some better scissors because the scissors we have here are not the best. Okay. That's fine. But those are good snowflakes. No.
I can't believe you threw them out. Yeah. Those are not good, Josh. Those are just You're crumpling them up right now. It's a final draft.
They're a rough draft. Really good. Oh, dang. You're you're throwing them out again. Garbage.
Wow. And it was just a practice. I didn't like those ones. Really good. I'm gonna do some better ones.
Those looked great. Look. I've got it all prepped and ready to go tomorrow, this paper. When I bring my good scissors, this one's gonna be primo. I really liked what you already had.
No. Thanks. I didn't. Clearly. I woulda hung them up.
I thought the 2 you had, I didn't care for the negative snowflake, the one that was, like, the paper you cut the snowflake out of. Yeah. That I would have thrown away. Now I didn't like those other ones. The the 2 snowflakes are very cool.
They didn't even look like a snowflake. They looked very cool. Like a sword. Nope. Looked awesome.
No. I'm I'm not even being I'm not making a joke. It's not like making a joke. You threw away good snowflakes. No.
They were fine. They were really good. They were not terrible. They were They were some of the best I've seen. And I'm not even I'm not even messing around.
I don't know why you're saying it like that, though. I can't believe you threw them away. They they were good. I don't know why you're being so critical of yourself. Those were great looking snowflakes.
We'll have a snowflake contest tomorrow. Snowflake contest tomorrow. I've seen yours. They're very good. I don't know why you're upset about those.
Those are good looking snowflakes. Nobody's upset. I'm just gonna try again tomorrow. Those were rough drafts. They have those, like, 3 d geometric ones.
Maybe we should make those. Those ones are cool. Do you wanna make some of those? Why? I want the ones you threw away back.
No. Those are done. Gone. Ripped apart. Those are really good.
Josh, stop. I'm I'm being serious. Alright. Well, I'm gonna go dig some snowflakes out of the trash. Have a great rest of your day.
We'll be back tomorrow morning on your Friday, finally. Woo hoo. Yeah. And, you believe it's been a week since Thanksgiving? No.
