What's up? You showed me a video yesterday or the day before of Kenny G. Yeah, he was playing old Lang Syne in the middle of the road. Right. Was that in New York or where was that?
Seattle, I think. Okay. What would you do if you're walking down the street and you see Kenny G roll up with his clarinet and just park it in the middle of the street and start playing old Lang Syne? I'd probably stand there and watch and then when he was done, I'd walk away and I'd go, I saw Kenny G play in the street.
I'd tell some people about it. I'm not a huge Kenny G fan, but I bet there were people that were pretty stoked. Yeah. One guy in the video said, it's Kenny G. Who would you want to be wandering down the street and see just stop traffic and start playing an instrument?
Oh, interesting question. I know who I don't want to watch play. Who's that? Esteban. Who's that? The guitarist. I don't know who that is. Esteban? Did you not watch enough like late night TV stuff?
I guess not. If you look up Esteban guitar, I don't like looking at this fella. So if I had to watch Esteban play guitar, great guitarist. I don't like his fingernails.
I don't like his look and I would just walk by. He's now 78 years old. Poor Esteban. He's nothing to you.
I know. I just don't like his look and his fingernails gross me out. I forgot about this guy.
He was on a lot of late night infomercials. You're right. The selling CDs. Yeah.
I remember that. Esteban. Listen, good for him. I just, it grosses me out. That's all. You don't like his look. I don't. He looks like he's wearing, he's got that flat brim hat, but then he looks like he's wearing those blue blockers, which is probably what he was advertising.
Probably. Those blue blocker sunglasses you can wear over your glasses. And then he's got the longest pointy fingernails and they gross me out. They're playing guitar with. I know. That's what he uses them for, to play his Spanish style guitar.
But Josh, I think the back scratches he could give. No. I bet it's real. No. I bet it's a real good back scratch. Absolutely not.
Give it a go. Esteban does not get to scratch my back. Oh, poor Esteban. He doesn't want to anyway.
He's almost 80. I ask you the question, who would you not like to see playing in the middle of the street? Surprise pop-up performance. It's not like to see or would like to see. I can't think of anybody. You asked me who I would like to see it. I didn't know for sure, but I knew who I didn't know.
No, I don't. I think I'd probably be happy to see a lot of people. I can't think of anybody that would be super like jazz to see. But who's doesn't Kenny G play the saxophone? Well, he plays lots of woodwinds. I don't like a saxophone. So anybody with a saxophone, I would not. I mean, he's a well-known saxophone player, but he also plays other wind instruments. Yeah, I wouldn't be down for just seeing a random saxophonist rolling up on the street. I'd be like, ah, man, we got to get, because I don't like saxophone. OK, OK, so you would not like to see Kenny G, then?
Right. What about it with somebody singing? Who would I not like to see? Or would you like? Johnny Mathis. Johnny Mathis.
Yeah. The only thing that I know he sings is those Christmas songs. But I don't like I can't stand his Christmas music. He's 90. Yeah, we're not going to see him roll up.
90 year old Johnny Mathis hanging out in the street, singing his Christmas hits. And you're just going to go, no, thank you. No, thank you.
No, thank you. I will. Because, yeah, I can just choose to walk away if I don't like it. OK, and I will. All righty.
Sounds good. Hey, let's begin the show. All right, here we go. Hey, there. Hi there, Josh. What's up?
Nothing, what's up with you? Oh, I'm I'm awake. So I'm up. That's what's up with me.
OK, cool. What's up with you? Oh, same. Yeah, same, same.
I don't want to be awake, though. Remember vacation. I do remember vacation. Holiday vacation when we didn't have any schedule. There weren't any rules. It was awesome.
Yep. Today is Day to Cuddle Up because it is National Cuddle Up Day. It's also time to get that house cleaned up from Christmas. It's national takedown, the tree day.
Let's go. Why today? What is it? Six.
It's the six. I mean, how many days has it been? I asked on Facebook when people typically take down their tree. Yeah, a lot of people said the sixth. And I can't remember why.
Because it's national takedown, the tree day. No, there was something. They said it was something.
Oh, it's because it is. What's it called? That's what I'm asking.
It is called Epiphany. Yes, that's why. Yeah. But what is so it says here January 6th is primarily known for the Christian Feast of Epiphany, celebrating a Magi's visit to Jesus. So, you know, there you go.
It's also called Three Kings Day, marking the end of the Christmas season with special foods and traditions. OK, so that's that's what they said. I remember now. It's Epiphany.
My tree is down. True story. Done out of here. It's out of here. I do need to clean my house. I stepped on something sticky. What was it in the kitchen? I don't know.
But whereabouts by the. Air fryer, something sticky by the air fryer. By where the air fryer is on the counter or did I put it away? No, you didn't put it away.
Are you crazy? Yeah, nobody puts it away. I left it on the counter.
Yeah, I know. I meant to put it away, but I didn't. Yeah, so we could use it. We could use a clean house could use a clean. Well, let's all pitch in. Who's let's all the whole family? Everyone that lives there.
Yeah, I guess I'm not the only one that lives there. This is a true statement. I'm making these musts by myself.
This is a true statement. What did you drop that was sticky by the air fryer? You think it's me? I'm just asking. I didn't drop anything sticky. I didn't either. I didn't have anything sticky. But my shoe. The only thing, the only thing I could think of that's sticky that's over in that area is that baklava.
Did a baklava fall? No. No? Okay. Play me.
I'm just thinking. No, this is not my fault. What other things did you have over there? Oh my heavens.
Heavens? It's not me, bro. All right. Well, anyway. Take care of your tree day. Good morning.
Doodle-loo. And apparently mop the floor while you're at it. Hey, if you had a real tree, there might be some sap. You might want to, you know, get that cleaned up from under where the tree was before you walk there. That's all.
Just, you know, tips, pointers, things to help make your day less sticky. We didn't have a real tree. No, but that's okay. Hi, Chantel. Good morning. Hi.
Get a load of this. McDonald's, you know McDonald's. Never heard of them. It's being sued.
They're being sued. Oh, I did see this. You did?
I did see this. Because the McRib apparently contains no actual rib meat. Right. So the one that I saw said it might not even be like pork.
Really? Which is really troubling because the real reason that's a problem is because they're excused for not having it on the menu all the time is because they only bring it around when pork prices are lowest. Oh, interesting. And so, or maybe that's just the theory around the McRib, I guess, maybe, but. Well, the lawsuit claims false advertising.
They're like, this isn't your fake real life. You're calling it the McRib and there's no rib in it. There's not a McRib anything.
What's it made of? McDonald's says the McRib has always been a vibe, not a science project. Okay, all right. Whatever.
Actually, this is what they say it's actually made from. All right, here we go. Now we're getting to it.
But I don't necessarily know the animal, but they say it's made from shoulder, heart, and scalded stomach. Oh. Yum. Are you still going to eat it?
Covering it with sauce. I haven't had one in years. I know, but you love it. I think I have McRibbed my final McRib. You've McRibbed yourself out? I think the last one that I had, I went, you know, I probably shouldn't. That is probably very wise of you.
It's been years since I've had the McRib. I did not know that. Yeah. I thought you always got excited when it came around.
Yeah. But then, you know, it doesn't have any rib in it. I had a shirt that says McRib is back. I probably still have it somewhere. It didn't say baby. It should have. It just said McRib is back. Baby.
Nope. You had a big McRib in the middle. Well, you know, it's not actually rib meat. I think that's probably, look, it probably originally was.
I disagree. And then they were like, how can we make this? Cheaper.
Cost less, but charge more so that we can make more money. And they went, hmm, put in shoulder. I doubt it. I think it was probably always made the way that it's currently made. So is this going to go to a class action lawsuit where people can hop on board and be like, yeah, I had a McRib and I'm upset too. Who knows? So we can all get 13 cents. No kidding.
I don't know. I would hate to be a large corporation like that. I bet they're sued all the time. Yeah.
For so many reasons. That's why they have lawyers. They have a legal team that handles these things all the time.
You're right. And then they go, oh, here we go. Here's my job today. Got to deal with people that don't think there's rib meat in the McRib.
Okay. It's all side advertising. But it also does it say it's called the McRib, which implies that there is rib in there. But we all know it's just shaped like that. Right. Yeah.
Right. So there's no like rib bones. So you would go, okay, if there's no rib bones in there and we all know that it's just like whatever meat pressed into a rib form.
Right. Do they ever say that it is rib? No, it's actual rib meat. Do they say that?
I got it. Because I know like there was a big push for like all white meat chicken. Like that was a big thing.
Yeah. So I'm wondering if they've ever advertised that it actually was a rib situation. That's what I'm wondering too, actually, because if they did, then that's considered false advertising. But if they just have the picture of it and they're like, And it's called the McRib. You can call it whatever.
Right. They call it a chicken nugget. Like that's not a part of a chicken, y'all. Just heads up. You don't go like, oh yeah, we're out here harvesting chicken nuggets today.
That's not a thing. Also fingers, chicken fingers. That one's always got or steak fingers. Yeah. Like those aren't things. Or buffalo wings. Buffalo wings. Yeah. Right. Because one, there's no buffalo in it.
And two, there's no wings. True. I mean that, it's partly true. So everything could be.
But normally they use like little drumsticks. Everything could be false advertising. Hey, guess what? I bet that filet-o-fish isn't really fish. No, it is. Is it?
That's real fish. Okay. You bet you.
That's probably the only one that's like actually what it is. Congrats. Yeah. Well, if it goes to class action, I can't wait to get my 13 cents.
How about you? Here, you don't need it. My 13 cents? You don't need it. Do you have to prove that you had a McRib? I think so, probably. Who's held none of those receipts?
Nobody. All right, some good news because Shaquille O'Neal's doing big, beautiful things. And so we got to talk about. Okay. I think that's really good stuff.
Yeah. He's a good dude. Let me tell you about Jordan Wilmore first. He is a Texas man who is currently working toward becoming a police officer and kind of hit a major roadblock recently.
He failed his state officer exam. Oh, no. And Shaq, who is famously tall, saw Jordan's story on Instagram and felt a connection because Jordan is seven feet three inches tall. He's a tall guy. And so Shaq didn't just send a message and go, hey, good luck, buddy. He said, no, I'm going to go there in person. So he went to the police department where Jordan is working on becoming a police officer and he staged a little bit of an intervention. He told the crowd that he was officially sponsoring Jordan's return to the academy this month and he's paying for Jordan's second chance. He said, this guy is going to do it. Shaq also brought some real talk to the podium. He admitted to the crowd there that he failed his state exams the first time around before eventually becoming a certified officer in California and Florida. I didn't know Shaq had done that. I didn't know that either.
But Shaq has done that. Yep. And he said, look, failure isn't the end. It's just the beginning of success, just good motivation. Jordan said he's feeling pretty blessed and motivated. He's going to head back to school in just a couple of weeks.
And as potential icing on this cake here, Shaq hinted that once Jordan officially pins on the badge, there's an extra super-sized reward waiting for him. Don't know what that means. What does that mean? I have no idea.
But Jordan, I want to find out. So get your scores up, man. Let's pass this test. I bet he wants to find out what the extra is, too. Pass the test. I want to know. So I'm going to have to keep my eyes open for a follow-up in the next few weeks.
I don't know how long it takes to go through and do all the stuff. I just got to keep my eyes open on this story. What do you think it is? What could it be? What do you think it is? I don't know.
There's an extra super-sized reward waiting for me. What does that mean? I don't know. I don't know. But good luck, Jordan.
That's cool. And way to go, Shaq. Good job, Shaq.
What a nice dude. That's good news. I saw a post online yesterday, and I did a little bit of research after I read it.
It says the number one movie when you were 10 years old will predict how your 2026 will go. Yeah, I looked this up. Oh, did you? Because I saw it, too. And I was like, oh, what movie?
So I wrote it down, and I did the research. Do you know what your movie was? Yeah, my movie was Batman. No, it was not. Yes, it was. May 2, 1991. 1991?
When you were 10. Oh, okay. What'd you look up? I must have looked up. I don't know what I looked up. Well. What was it?
Kindergarten Cop. Yes. That's how your 2026 is going to go. Fine. Happy about it. Yeah, okay. All right.
It's not a tumor. Yeah, mine in 1992, when I was 10, Wayne's World. Oh, nice. Was number one.
You got lucky. Yeah. It did say that that was the number one movie that week, the number one movie on that day specifically, because that was, I don't remember what day of the week it was, but that weekend, box office, the number one movie was Wayne's World. But on that day, it was Hook. And I went, oh, that's a good one. Hook, hook, hook, hook, hook. There you are, Peter. So.
Rufio. Yeah. You know, all that stuff.
Oh man. Such a good movie. They don't make movies like they used to, do they? So I was not upset about Wayne's World, and I was also not upset about Hook.
I'm not mad about Kindergarten Cop. No? No. Okay, good. It's been a long time since I've seen that movie. Apparently.
We should break that out. I think a ferret is in your future. A ferret? Yeah. If 2026 is summed up by your movie being Kindergarten Cop. I don't get the reference. There's a ferret.
The kid carries around a ferret. Oh yeah, yeah. He's the class pet. Yeah. Yeah. Now I remember.
It's been a while since you've seen that movie. Those kids teach Arnold quite a bit. That one kid, he should probably have a counselor.
They all should. Oh yeah. There's some real problems going on with those kids. Anyway. Fun. Yeah. So I don't know what that means.
I don't know how to interpret that movie. We'll predict how your year will go. Guess what? It's all a lie. It's just a thing to get. Yeah, I get it. It's nothing real.
No. Don't put too much stock into it, Josh. Party on, Wayne.
Party on, Garth. See? Like, is that it? It's just going to be a party on year. Yeah, because we're such partiers.
Yeah. Me who went to bed last night at nine o'clock. Party on. It will be mine.
Oh yes. I don't know. What does it mean? I don't know how to interpret it. It doesn't mean anything. Don't interpret anything.
It was just a fun little social media. Is that all? And done.
Okay. Well, if you're interested, just Google your, the number one movie on your birthday when you were 10 and then you can, you can find out how to, I guess, this is the interpret your year. Celebrate appropriately. Yeah, I don't, I don't know.
I don't know how you. It doesn't, it doesn't mean anything. It means something. It doesn't mean anything.
No, it means something. Okay, well keep that movie in the back of your mind then. Okay.
And then at the end of the year, you can see how the two correlate. Yeah. Here's what happened in Wayne's world. Here's what happened in my life.
Okay. You met Alice Cooper. Whoa. That would be dope. Backstage pass backstage. Backstage. You got $5,000.
That would be cool too. So far, your year is going great. Me and my buddies sing Queen and a Gremlin. Sure. Yeah. Can I be there?
I don't know. I got to stop a wedding, but it'll be the wrong wedding and then the right wedding. I have to have a fight. It's a whole thing. All right. Anyway, that is what I know about the movie that was number one when I was 10.
But what does it mean? I want to figure out which Batman you looked up. It was the original. The first one with Michael Keaton, the best one. Okay.
The best Batman. That was not on your birthday. No, I know.
I don't know what you looked up. I don't know what I'd like to have be there. Okay. I just made it up. You did? Yeah.
It sounds like it. All right. The world's oldest Twinkie. Want to guess how old?
Oh, wow. Those things never expire, so it could be pretty old. I guess the world's oldest known Twinkie. There might be older ones, but this one. The oldest one on record? Correct.
Okay. It's 50. It's turning 50. 50 years old.
Yep. There was a chemistry teacher in Maine who opened up this experiment for his class in 1976. They were talking about food additives when a kid asked how long a Twinkie would last. So Roger, it's his name, the teacher's name, Roger Binati, said he didn't know, so they tested it. They opened a Twinkie and they said, let's keep it here and see how long it lasts.
He retired in 2004, but he handed it off to a student from that class who is now a dean of that same school. Oh, wow. She's had it in a glass case in her office for 22 years and it's still hanging in there, hasn't molded. There's a picture of it. I saw a picture of it. I bet the sponge outside is probably a little bit rigid.
Yeah. I bet that's the only thing that's happened to it. It looks very dried out and it looks like a tiny little loaf of bread, but like a really crusty loaf of bread.
Interesting. But it looks like it's not moldy or anything. Yeah, it kind of looks gross though. Well, yeah, it looks gross.
You wouldn't eat it. I'm looking at a picture of it from when it was 43, looking at a picture of it when it was 37. Oh, so you can see the decay of it? You know what it looks like. It doesn't look like a loaf. I can see how you'd say it looks like a loaf of bread. You know what it actually looks like?
What? Like a piece of sponge. Yeah, it kind of does. I mean, it is like a sponge cake, so that would make sense, but it looks like a gross piece of sponge.
Like the one in your car wash bucket that you're like, yeah, use that a couple of times a year when I get lazy about washing my car. That's what it looks like. Yeah, that's good.
That's a good description. Yeah, it's real pale. The official shelf life of a Twinkie in 1976 was 26 days. Well, Hostess now says it's up to 45 days due to better packaging. Would you take a bite? Of that old 50-year-old Twinkie? No.
Me neither. I don't like Twinkies, so I wouldn't take a bite of a fresh one. Do you like a Chocodile?
Sure. It's one of my faves. Ho-Hose are like my go-to Hostess products. Yeah, I knew that about you. Those are the best.
They're okay. Listen, my mom used to work at Hostess. I know that. So I know all of the products. Yeah.
That is true. Snowballs. Yeah. Chocodiles. Yeah.
Ho-Hose. Can you still get a Chocodile? I don't know. Here's what I liked about a Chocodile. A couple things. Foil for one. You ever have a Chocodile wrapped in foil? Foil. Yeah.
That was the way they arrived. Now I got to look it up. Chocodile.
Can you still get them? Now they just have like a chocolate Twinkie. That's not the same. That's kind of what it was though, wasn't it? Yeah.
It's a chocolate-covered Twinkie. Yeah, but it was different. It wasn't the same. It's what it is. You know? No, I think... It felt a little different. I think you're just remembering differently. I remember it being in foil too. I remember what that Hostess store smelled like when I would walk into it to visit my mom. That's the thing about smells.
They bring back memories. Apparently the original Hostess Dingdong little cake thing. Yeah. That was wrapped in foil as well. Yeah. I do remember that being wrapped in foil. Yeah. Interesting.
Do you want to do your own science project? No. And open your own Twinkie and see how long it lasts?
When you put in Chocodile foil, it says, did you mean Crocodile foil? And which I say no. What happens if you say yes? Hostess.
I don't know. Then you get foil chocolate... Crocodiles. It says many recall fondly the Dingdong was wrapped in a aluminum foil.
The Chocodiles were also originally wrapped in foil. Yeah. Okay, good. It was like unwrapping a little present. I remember that.
Okay. I looked up Crocodile foil. You got crocodiles made out of foil? It's foil that has crocodile skin.
All right. Different fabrics that look like foil that look like crocodile skin. They're like embossed. Yeah. I see that. Isn't that neat?
Look what we learned today. 50-year-old Twinkie. Happy birthday to that 50-year-old Twinkie.
Happy birthday. Our daughter has been spending a lot of time with a boy. Yeah. And we officially got the boyfriend pass. Does that mean that we're cool? I think so. Is that what that means?
According to him. Is that a necessary thing to have passed? Yes. Okay.
They told Emery he thinks we're funny. All right. And that we're up to code on slang. All right.
Look at us. I think there are some folks who would disagree. I think so too. But that's fine. And he's met us for a few snippets of time. Right.
If he hung out with us longer, he'd be like, your parents are dorks. Yeah. They are pretty annoying. But for a brief snippet of time. Yeah. Okay. We were told we were funny.
Here's my favorite part. When I first met him, I talked to him for maybe like 10 or so minutes. Okay. And then you walked upstairs. That's right. And you said, oh, hey, how's it going? Yeah. And that's the extent of what you said to him. Yeah.
And that first, that first initial conversation. Yeah. Right after that, he and Emery left to go to the mall or something.
Yeah. And he told Emery, oh, your dad's so cool. Like, what did he do? I was like, what's up, dude? What's up, dude?
No, you did not do that. Hey, yo, what's up, dude? I think that's not fair. I talked to him for like, because I talked to him for like 10 minutes. Yeah. Okay. That doesn't mean you're uncool.
He didn't say I was cool. Yeah. Well, you talked his ear off. Yeah. Maybe I talked too much.
He was like, your mom, shut up. Yeah. She's a talker. That one.
What does she do for a living? Oh, talk. Great. See, I've been talking so long that now when I go home, I'm like, can I just not? Can I just be quiet for a while? I feel that way when I come home sometimes. Yeah.
I used to be, I used to be the person that would come home and I'd be like, hey, let's talk all about our dates. Right. And now I go home and I go, I don't, please don't anybody talk to me. That's not what I said. What I said was I talk so much that when I get home, I'm like, I'm done talking for the day.
You're like over here saying, no, don't talk to me. I don't want to hear it. I've been listening all day. I'm tired. I am tired.
My job is this and then customer service. I know. And so I do a lot of talking. And listening. Yeah. Yeah. And a lot of being used to people and then I come home and I go, all this communication.
I have to be nice and talk to these people that I live with. Yes. That's fine. I have an escape. Here's the thing that happens. What? There's one conversation every day when you get home and it's three words.
One's a contraction. What's for dinner? That's the question. And then you go, I don't know. Why don't you figure it out? Why don't you ask somebody else?
Yeah. Listen, why isn't my responsibility? I can't be making these decisions anymore. I just can't. Right. I can't do it.
I can't figure out what's for dinner anymore. So what I'm saying is you might have yacked his ear off. He might have been like, Hey, hey, hey, let's just, you know, it was cool was the, Hey, how's it going? That was cool. That was cool.
Yeah. And then I did too much. Well, that's what happens when I'm nervous. I get real chatty.
I see. And so then I just real, I say a lot of nothing. Do you feel like you had no quality in your conversation? I'm sure there's quality.
I don't think there's quality in anything I have to say. Well, that's weird. How is that weird? Well, that's just mean to yourself. Yeah, but it's, there's plenty of great things you have to say.
Well, thanks, Josh. Yeah. Everybody listen up. Chantel's going to say something profound. Let's all listen. Go ahead. Don't forget to drink your oval. Oh, wow.
That's a movie quote and real, timely advice. All right. Listen, all I wanted to say was I felt, I felt super cool that we got the boyfriend cool pass. All right. Well, I'm cool with it. I'm cool with it. All right. We are cool with it. All right. There you go. Way to be cool with it.
Good job. Hey kid, hang around more. You won't think we're cool after a couple of, couple of hours.
Yeah, the thing. These two, everything's a joke. They don't stop talking. They actually like each other. It's weird.
It's weird. What are you looking forward to in 2026? Well, we have a winter Olympics. That's going to be happening in this winter. Not the current winter. It's upcoming winter a year from now. That's what you've got that circles on your calendar. Like I can't wait for this.
No, I'm just trying to figure out what else is going on. Oh, World Cup is happening again. It's a mirror cut circle on your calendar. America turns 250 years old this year. You personally, what do you got on your calendar? Anything? No.
Why? I don't know. I don't really.
I know what's weird is I don't either. I was looking at the calendar going like, I don't really have anything big on the calendar that I'm really looking forward to. Last year, I feel like I had a couple of different things on like, like time out with friends. We had planned to go see Wicked. We were excited about Wicked. There was a couple of musicals traveling Broadway musicals that I was going to go see. So there was stuff I was looking forward to.
I don't have anything on the calendar this year. Artemis II will be launching in April. That's the first crewed flight of NASA's Lunar Program. Again.
It will be orbiting the moon. I'm just, I'm trying to find some stuff. You should have something on your calendar. You got a Christmas present from me. Well, yeah, I got a concert to go to. That's in June. Yeah. Are you not looking forward to that? Oh yeah.
No, yeah. I'm looking forward to that. I was trying to see, are there any big, like what are the big movies for 2026?
Do we, do we know? Isn't there, wait, I think there's the Hunger Games one that's coming out this year. Okay. Avengers Doomsday is coming out in 2026. The Batman II.
No. That's going to have Robert Pattinson as a Batman. Again. Toy Story 5. Not needed. You mentioned Hunger Games, Sunrise on the Reapening.
Reaping. No, I know. But that's what you called it in the TikTok video. Follow us on TikTok. It gets gold. You get Sunrise on the Reapening.
On TikTok. There's a new Spider-Man, brand new day that's coming out. The Odyssey is going to be really cool. I think that's a Christopher Nolan's doing the Odyssey.
Oh, I like Christopher Nolan. Yeah. That's going to be pretty cool. There's another Dune movie, the third one of those. Project Hail Mary. I want to read that or listen to that audio book. Before the movie. Okay.
So I've got that on my to-do list for this year. No, but there's nothing you're really like stoked about? I don't know.
Okay. Isn't that kind of sad? We got to get something on our calendar that's exciting. I read somewhere, somewhere, some time that said. Uh-huh.
Would you read somewhere, somewhere, some time? What was it? What was it?
Tell me, what was it? It said you always have to have something to look forward to. If you don't have anything to look forward to, then what's the point of living? Well, you got to go through it sometimes too. Yeah, but you still have to have something to look forward to.
Okay. So we've got to get some stuff on our calendar. We're also doing that next Mario movie. Oh, do we need that? Uh, yeah. We do. But do we? I don't even know like what else like, I don't know.
I'm looking forward to lots of camping, lots of time outdoors. I want that too. So vibrate it. Really trying to focus a lot of my energy on that. Okay.
I really want to be in the mountains a lot. Fine. So. I'm game for that. I just want to skip town, go to the mountains.
Okay. Been thinking about like going and see what's happening in the mountains right now. Oh, it's too cold right now. No, it's not bundle up and go explore. There's beauty in the mountains. I know there is, but it's too chilly. No, have you seen the where there is snow?
It's great. I've seen people like hiking some of the trails that I hike regularly. Like right now and they're like, yeah, there was an inch in the parking lot. There were five inches, like five miles up the trail. Like five inches of snow is no big deal. It's a big deal to me. Maybe five inches is a lot of inches. Where boots? What are you worried about?
Go explore the snowy tundra. No. No. No. You could see a moose.
No. There's winter fishing. I've been really thinking about doing some winter fishing and I'll tell you why. Like ice fishing? No. Fly fishing in the winter. Okay.
Because there are some streams and rivers that are waitable right now because the water levels are lower. Hey. I've been thinking about it. It's gonna be real cold in that water. You better layer up. I'll be wearing boots. I'm just saying you better layer up.
Yeah, I'll have on wool socks and stuff. Chili. Fridged. Yeah. My hands will get cold before my feet do. Yeah, that's true. And warmers.
Sure. While I'm running a fly rod, that makes sense. You can't fly fish. I know that you have to take off your gloves to like...
I have fancy, I have a couple different pairs of different winter fly fishing gloves. You do. Where'd you get those from? One was a gift from my cousin and one I think I bought. Okay. I was gonna say that's didn't come from me.
You know. I wouldn't have known what to buy. Well, that's disappointing that we don't have anything really to look forward to this year. I'm just looking forward to all of the outdoor adventure. Okay.
The heaps and heaps of it. I'm on board for that. Good. Let's get outside as soon as possible. You say that, but that's not what you mean.
Well, as soon as possible means when it's better weather. Yeah. Okay. This is what you said.
Where? We had over the weekend an impromptu rousing game of Heads Up Seven Up. Listen, if you haven't played Heads Up Seven Up since you were in elementary school, you're just like everyone else in the room except for the one who's in elementary school. It was awesome. When was the last time you played that game?
Just a few days ago. Well, right. But before that, when I was in elementary school, I wasn't it awesome to play it again? I mean, it was okay.
I got accused of cheating. You did? Yeah. The five year old said, you're cheating and I'm not cheating.
That's right. How would I cheat? She said you were looking at her socks.
Yeah. And I went, I'm not looking at anybody's socks. How am I looking? I can't see through the table.
She's like, no way. I saw you. You're cheating. And I went, I don't know what to tell you. My favorite part is that even in a silly little game of Heads Up Seven Up, the dudes at the table were competitive. What do you remember that I don't?
How competitive did it get? I don't remember. Specifics?
You're looking for specifics? Well, I just, you said we were competitive. So I was just looking for examples of that because I don't remember it being hotly contested. I think there was a lot of like people trying to put a thumb down in the most creative way. I think that is absolutely true.
But I don't think that was overly competitive. I think what was really weird was when somebody would do like a soft touch and you'd be like, who touches a thumb like that? I think I did a couple of soft touches. There were a few that were just like a little like poke and you're like, did someone touch my thumb? And some that were like, there's your thumb. I got excited just like I did in elementary school when somebody actually did touch my thumb because I'd be like, you picked me.
I didn't get picked very often in elementary school. It's a little different playing it just sitting around a dining room table. With a bunch of adults and one five year olds. Yeah, it was a little challenging. No, it was fun. I think it was fun.
Yeah, it was a good time. So no, who brought that to the table? Was it the five year old?
Probably. It was like, let's play this heads up seven. And I was like, yes. Let's play. It was actually quite fun.
Yeah, it was interesting to see all of the 30, 40 and 50 year olds go, I don't remember how to play this. Put your head down, put your thumb up. Someone touches your thumb, you got to guess who it was.
Ba-da-bing. Yeah, it's pretty straightforward, pretty easy. At one point, at the very beginning there, you were involved in a little confusing method of play. What was that? Where everybody's thumb was getting touched. I was very confused about that.
That's right. So you were in the part of, how do we play this game? Well, I think it was everybody's thumb got touched and then you had to guess who picked your thumb. Not everybody's thumb got touched though.
And then I remembered, yeah, you're right. Somebody said, not everybody's thumb gets touched and I went, yeah, you're right. Just one thumb per person. Because I remember being in the classroom and nobody would touch my thumb.
See, here's the thing. If you really wanted to not have cheaters when you were playing in class, you had to team up with another picker. And the two of you would have to walk the aisles on either side. And that way they would know because they can cheat and look at shoes. Yeah, oh, they did. That's what I'm saying.
But if you worked in tandem, harder to catch you. I never did that. I don't know. It could be either one of you. I do remember the smell of my desk.
You said that. The second I laid my head down, I was like, I can smell my desk. Pencil shavings, crayons. School lunch.
At my desk? Well, no, it smelled like that though. Because it was in the air. They were cooking the hot dogs. Pigs in a blanket. That's it. Yeah.
You know, straight back to elementary school. What? Why don't you tell everybody about your office paper dolls?
Well, listen, you make it sound like they're little people. It's not. It's not. It's more architectural than that. Yeah.
It may be a little bit of interior design or something. Okay. Just, the deal is the studio is going to be going through some changes real soon. And as we're preparing for those changes, I've been kind of trying to figure out if there's a better layout for the furniture in this room. Because it's large furniture.
There's like a big desk that holds the control board. And there's how many computer monitors in here? I've got five looking at me and you've got two. There's seven computer monitors in here.
There's three microphones. We've got, you know, the phone systems we've got. There's just so much stuff.
Yeah. That has to have a place to sit. So the furniture is big because of that. And so as we're looking at like things that we're going to need to change, I said, well, what if we change the furniture? What if we rearrange?
What if, is there a better configuration? And so I just made a scale model of all of the room and the furniture in it so that I could actually visualize what might work as a different layout. And you cut out all the little pieces.
Yeah. I printed out chairs and the desk pieces. And and then, yeah, I put them onto like some harder card stock. And then now I can rearrange the room and see what works. Well, you did a good job. You know what I found out?
What did you find out? Current configuration is probably going to stay because the furniture itself is the issue. Yeah. So until there's a better designed piece of furniture in here, I'm going to have to work with this layout and this furniture as is. So any of the renovation and removing and everything else that I need to do is going to have to happen with this furniture in the place that it's at.
Is the furniture, how is it? Is it attached to the floor? No, it is, it is heavy. It's very heavy. It looks like it's attached to the floor. And all of the pieces are attached to one another, but it's not attached to the floor.
Oh, it looks like it is. Where? Over here.
Okay. I don't know what you're seeing. Like it's not. I mean, it's just sitting here. It sits on a box. So you might be seeing that box down there that's like, you know, six inches tall or something like that. And it's because it's a standing, it's a standing desk because somewhere along the way, somebody thought we were going to stand for four hours and do a radio show and then a bunch of radio DJs that actually work in the rooms went, I would like a drafting chair to sit in, please. And so now we have that because not standing for four hours.
Here's, here's where it comes from. Back in the old times, we're talking the twenties, you remember when people would go into a radio studio and they would just have a microphone on a stand. And it would be over there with like the call letters across the top of it and they didn't have headphones. And so they would put one hand to their ear and they'd go, and we're broadcasting now. And then they do their whole 1920s thing into the microphone.
So they were standing and it was a performative type thing. And it was good for your diaphragm, like if you were in choir to be standing to do your radio announcing. And then over the course of the years and now a hundred years plus later, as we sit here and have conversations about nothing on and on and on, I like to do that comfortably. So I'm going to sit.
But your diaphragm. Oh, what am I going to do about it? Oh, the humanity.
I don't know. I just thought your office paper towels, paper towels, paper dolls. Dolls. Yes.
It was cute. Oh, thanks. Good job. I just, I needed to be able to visualize the space. I thought it was cute when you showed our boss.
Yeah. Go, here's what I made and he went, like, of course you did. And then I said, it's, it's to scale. And he goes, of course it is.
Because he knows you. Yeah. And that is the total Josh thing to do. It's, it was my, like, let me draw a diagram, but it was better than a diagram because I could actually move the pieces around. It's smart. It's clever. Well, look, if you, if you've got a space and you need to know if what you have in the space is going to fit, it's a great way to find out. And it's to scale.
That's right. You are king of the mountain. I don't know what that means, but here I stand or sit as king of the mountain. King of the castle.
King of the castle. I was looking around our house last night. Well, I've actually been looking around a house for the past couple of days and I, I want to redo of all of it. Do you ever look around your house and go, I'm sick of all my decorations. I'm tired of the way everything looks.
I want to refresh. But here's the problem. And I think this is why, like, if you go to your grandma's house or you go to your mom's house, like everything looks the same as it did 20 years ago.
Because I think you think about redecorating and then you go, but I don't know what I want to do. And also it's expensive. And it's a lot of work. And it's a lot of work. So I look around and I go, I want to redecorate, but then I think about how much it's going to cost and how much time it's going to take.
And then I go, never mind. I'll just keep it as is. So what are you, let's talk about the living room. Let's start there.
What would you change right away? Paint the piano. You don't want to paint the piano. The piano.
Always the piano. Well, I also want a new couch in there. Okay.
So a new couch and paint the piano. Yeah. I know. I'm never going to paint the piano because you, you'd like the history of the piano. I get it.
I'm never going to win that battle. I don't know what to say about the piano. I like that the piano is from like the twenties or thirties.
Yeah. And it has its original finish. And it looks like it's from the twenties or thirties. It just looks old. Yeah, because it is.
I know, but it just, that's what I like about it. Like it's damaged. It looks watered. There's like people put water bottles on it. So there's, where can you see that? Because I feel like, On the top. I feel like the top is covered with enough stuff all the time.
You only see it when you're changing decorations. Okay. Fair. I don't know. I don't know why that's such, why I feel like I need to paint it because it just looks, it's dark. I think that's why. It just feels dark.
It's an old piece of furniture. I know, Josh. I know.
Old musical instrument. Okay. But then we need new family pictures. We haven't had family pictures in a couple of years.
Okay. So I want new family pictures. Those are like a big part of the living room. Right. We always end up taking those in the fall and they look kind of gloomy. I know. So maybe we should take them not in the fall.
When there's some sun. That's kind of an idea. Yeah. Yeah.
Good idea. Because I don't mind taking the pictures and, you know, doing the printing and developing and all that stuff. I don't mind that. That's fine. And that's easy.
Like right now, it's, they're not going to be, they're going to be gloomy. No, I get it. Because we like to go outside in the nature.
I know. What I think is that I just took down Christmas and Christmas is so festive and fun. And then you take Christmas and you look around at your regular decorations. And I just feel like my regular decorations are drab.
Okay. Not drab, but I don't know. I just wanted something new.
But then you go to the store and you look around and you don't see anything that's like, yeah, I want that. Right. I know.
Like I haven't ever heard you say that. No, because I don't like any of the decorations. So what is it you're looking for? I don't know. Okay.
All right. Clear as mud. They say.
I understand. I just feel, and I think it's probably just this time of year where you just feel slumpy, right? Like it just feels slumpy.
And that's not a great thing to say when we've just begun the month. No, I get it though. Because a lot of people I've seen posts online, videos online, they're like, what are we replacing our Christmas trees with in our house? Because it was such a warm, you know, twinkly festive light. Right. Now we've put it away.
What are we putting up so that we can have that fun festive feeling? Exactly. Exactly. Yeah, I get it.
And you're not alone. And I have Valentine's Day decorations. I guess that's the next major holiday.
Sure. It's already out at the store. So I could decorate for that and make it fun. But that's still over a month away. I know.
I know. I don't know what I'm, I don't know what I'm going to do, Josh. What's going to happen is I'm going to end up doing nothing because I don't know what to replace the current decorations with. And I don't want to paint because that is dumb. I hate painting. I know.
Me too. So guess what? It's just going to stay the same. I'm just telling you, I'm just putting it out there, that I've got an itch to redecorate. I see.
We'll make a paper model of the living room, measure out all the furniture that's in there and see if you can rearrange it a fun way. I should. I should. You know what I'd really like to see go? What's that? The basket of dog toys. Where would it go? Out. I thought you made it, I thought you reduced it.
I did. But it's still too much? It's still too much. And she's like a toddler. She just throws her toys out everywhere. I am. Always picking up dog toys.
I know. Because her favorite ball is still in there and she's going to find it one of these times. And I just keep throwing stuff on top of it again.
She's like, woman. I'm trying to get to the bottom of this basket. Quit burying all my favorite toys.
Just in the back of your mind, know that I'd like to redecorate. Why do I have to carry that with me? Because you are already carrying it. I know, but I need somebody else to help come up with ideas. I don't want to. Because that's work. See what I'm saying is no.
It's two letters and it's a fantastic word. No. Fine. I'll just live in the doom and gloom. It's not doom and gloom. It's a nice living room.
It's a bright color. No, it is. I know. It's just the same.
We've had those decorations for years. Just same. Just walk in. It's the same. Oh, look, it's the same house.
Yeah. And it will be forever. So get used to it, I guess.
Get comfortable with it. All right. I don't believe you.
All right. You do this thing in your closet where you flip hangers around. They call it the reverse hanger method. Yeah. A lot of people are talking about it right now because it's a new year and people want to declutter or they want to work on like, you know, having a better wardrobe or whatever.
Walk me through how your hanger method works. Currently? Or what? Have you seen the closet lately? I've seen my one-third of the closet, yes.
Have you seen my side of the closet? No. I don't go in there. It's a disaster. It is a mess. Well, but run me through how you intended your hanger method to work and then let's talk about it.
I hung all the hangers backwards from how I typically like them and then when I would wear an item, I would hang it back up with the hanger the way that I like it. Four words. Normal. Yeah. So you would put all of your clothes in the closet backwards.
Okay. And then if I wore it, I would hang it back normal. And so then the idea is that at the end of six months or the end of a year, anything backwards that you haven't worn, you get rid of because you're like, I haven't worn this in six months. At least. Yeah. So get rid of it.
Right. How's that going? Not so good. Why? Because I finally, I did actually get rid of some of the stuff that was hanging backwards still after about six months. I did get rid of some of that stuff. But then I got to a point where I was like, I can't stand hanging my clothes backwards. And so then I just started hanging them forwards.
That's exactly where my head went. I hate backwards hangers. I don't like it either. I don't like it when I go to a store and somebody did that. I go, get out of here.
Get out of here. And most of the time they have those little swivel hangers. So they're normally just, you know, hung the right way. But when somebody does that, I'm, what's wrong with you? What needs to happen? My closet right now is jam packed.
There's no room for all of the clothes that I have in there because I have all my winter stuff out right now. Right. And is it bigger, bulkier? Yes. Okay. But I do know that there's some clothes in there that I need to get rid of that I just don't want to because I like it. It just doesn't fit anymore.
And so then I go, no, I'm not getting rid of that because that to me is giving up, you're signifying giving up. Yeah. Okay. All right.
I understand. And then there's a part of me that's like, no, keep it because you're going to lose weight in a couple of weeks. A couple of weeks. What's your plan?
I don't lose it in a couple of weeks. I have one. Okay.
So let me, let me just look through this. A lot of people are talking about this thing because in the new year, as I said, and they're saying it's six months. You donate any clothes that are still on backwards hangers after six months. Okay.
When you buy something new, do you take something out? I try to, but you do. Well, yeah.
But see, here's what happened this last go round. I bought some shirts and I like the shirts, but I feel like they're a bit big. And so I'm not in love with them like I should be.
Okay. And it kind of bums me out because they're nice shirts, but I just feel like they're baggy on me. And so I kind of wish I could take them back. And I've had them for a while. It depends on where you bought them from.
You probably could. Not like a year or anything. I've had them for a couple of months, but I don't, I don't even remember.
I have to look at the tags, but, but I'm dissatisfied with them. Oh no. And I don't like that because that's what happens in my side of the closet, my little one third of the closet. As, as I've got clothes in there that I, that I like and pretty much everything in there I enjoy wearing.
Yeah. But, but it's either it's, it's too tight or it's too baggy. So I don't wear it. And I'm like wearing the same six shirts that I do like. Same. That's my problem too. But it's not even just my shirts. It's my pants too.
Yeah. Do you have, and I need some jeans we found out yesterday. Everybody's making fun of my pants because I had a ripped back pocket. You've got, a jean problem.
I need, I need some new jeans. But I took a bunch of the stuff that, that I had in my closet that was like fishing shirts, you know, anything like hiking shirts, like stuff that was specific to that I put in my gear loft. So I know you've got at least a one fishing shirt in there, but you said it doesn't fit.
I think it fits great. You just don't like it. No, it's tight. It's too tight.
Dang it. It's a good looking shirt. Here's the thing. If I don't feel comfortable in it, I'm not gonna wear it. I'm aware.
And that's true for anybody. But do you have other stuff like that that you could move into a different closet? Because you also have stuff downstairs, like all your dresses are downstairs. Like you've got stuff all over the place.
I know. I've got too much. You've got boxes of clothes in in the shed that are summer clothes and summer clothes that don't fit. I told you winter clothes that I'm going to wear again one day.
No, listen to me. I told you that box in the shed that says summer clothes that don't fit. I said, if I can't fit into these next summer, then I will get rid of them. As in this summer. Yeah. Oh, it's January.
Yeah. Six months. When do I have to fit into those by May or June? June? We'll call it June. Okay. We're in the NFL playoffs.
That's right. First game Saturday. There are what two, four, six, eight, 10, 12 teams in route to the Super Bowl.
Yeah. In hot contested football action. Guess who's not in the playoffs?
Is this where you bag on the chiefs? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, it is. All right.
Go ahead. Guess who's also not at the playoffs? Who are you going to bag on?
Either one of my teams. Yeah. Yeah. The raiders are the Vikings. So, listen, I guess it's my own fault for bagging on the chiefs.
Yesterday is what they call Black Monday. We talked about Pete Carroll in our house because he was let go from the raiders after one season. He's fired, cut loose. I know.
Done. There were several other coaches who were let go. Andy Reid?
As well. No, he did not make the list of coaches that were cut. Arizona Cardinals fired Jonathan Gannon after three seasons. We talked about Pete Carroll, the Cleveland Browns dismissed two-time NFL coach of the year, Kevin Stefanski. Really? After six seasons.
The Atlanta Falcons dismissed Raheem Morris after two seasons. Really? Yep. This is such a brutal. I know. It's a cutthroat industry.
It really is. And the New York Giants and the Tennessee Titans fired their coaches during the season. So, as of now, there are six head coaching jobs open out of the 32 teams.
As of right now, there could be more. Listen, I'll tell you whose coach needed to be kind of not fired because I don't want anybody to be fired, but the Dolphins coach could use some help. Mike? Coach Mike? I really like him, but he's has been a good coach for a couple of seasons.
Yeah. A lot of people were saying the New York Jets, they were surprised that their head coach, Aaron Glenn, got to keep his job. The team went three and 14 this season. So, they were like, what's up with that? Interesting. Yeah.
So, I don't know. There's a lot of that that goes on right now. And then you got the playoffs. You said 12 teams. I'll tell you that I'm pretty stoked to see the Panthers in the playoffs because the Panthers were the worst team in the league last year. And so, I'm stoked that they're in the playoffs. Do I think they're going to beat the Rams this Saturday? I do not because I think Matthew Stafford has got that game locked up tight.
Yeah, that would probably make the most sense. Good rivalry, though, in the wild card weekend. Also, Saturday, the Saturday evening game, Packers and Bears. That is a big, big rivalry.
Whatever. Yeah, that's going to be. I hope they both lose. Well, one will win.
One of them will win. I hate both of them because they're both in my division. Bill's Jags. Who do you like there? I like the Bills.
I want to see the Bills go to the Super Bowl. I really love Josh Allen. I think he's a good little dude.
Yeah, I love this. A good little dude. He's just nice. He's just a nice guy.
He's got a great name. 49ers Eagles. Not the Niners. Ew. Look, I'm just kind of tired of seeing the Eagles do it all the time.
Yeah, and their only play is the push push. Okay. All right. But I do like Saquon and Jalen Hertz. I do like some members of that, but I'm tired of seeing the Eagles.
Okay. But I also don't want to see the Niners win. The other two wild card games this weekend, Chargers Patriots.
Oh, Chargers all the way. The Cheatreats? Never. You're still hanging on to that, even though all the people that were involved with that are pretty gone.
Yeah. And then Texan Steelers. Steelers because I like their coach. How about their quarterback?
How do you feel about him? I don't care about their quarterback. I am shocked that they made it this far with that old quarterback.
Wow. Now listen, that quarterback is younger than I am, but he old. All right.
His name is Aaron Rodgers. All right. Those are your six wild card games this weekend.
Saturday Sunday and then Monday will be that last one. Bills and Panthers. Wouldn't it be cool to see the Panthers at the Super Bowl? I don't even know anyone who plays on that team, but... What an insane upset that would be to the Rams if the Panthers win that. What was, uh, Beck was telling us last night, it's like a 200-something, like swing on the odds of the Panthers winning the Super Bowl.
And if you were to bet $100, you would win like two grand or whatever. Oh, really? Yeah. Or something ridiculous. Yeah. We should bet on the...
I don't really think that's a strong use of money. I just have a hunch. Who are you picking for the Super Bowl?
Oh, I don't even know. Right now, the favorite is the Seahawks. I like Denver too. I'd like to see Denver do it.
I think that'd be fun. Oh, they're not even in this list. They haven't been there in a while. That's right, because it's wild card weekend.
Oh, right. And then we'll have the actual bracket laid out after this weekend. This weekend is wild card weekend.
Right. So these are all the teams that are like... These teams have one shot to make it happen. Okay. This is a big weekend for these teams. Gotcha.
So we'll see if they make it in. Okay. Good luck, everybody. Yeah. Sad about my Vikings.
Maybe next year. Hey, would you rather this or that? Would you rather give up chocolate forever or cheese forever? Chocolate. Cheese. You're wrong.
You're wrong. Have you had cheese? Have you had chocolate?
Yeah. I eat more cheese than chocolate. I eat more chocolate than cheese. And that is why we have selected the things we have selected. And would you rather this or that?
I mean, that's really what it comes down to, isn't it? You know, it's really... Last night, I was cold. And so I just crawled into bed because I was just cold.
No way. And I was watching TV, and then I kind of fell asleep a little bit. That's how I found you when I got home from my scout meeting. I said, you're sleeping. Yeah, I know. It was nine o'clock. I know. And you'd been sleeping. Listen, it was the first full day of work.
No. From a vacation. It was a rough day. And Emory comes in, wakes me up. She says, Mom. And I go, what?
I wasn't sleeping. What's up? She said, I have this chocolate that I got for Christmas. Do you want it? And I said, yes. Yes. I ate that chocolate. I fell back asleep. Yeah.
Wow. I would never have done that for cheese. I got home from work. I had to grab some tools and go fix a fence.
Yeah. And then I got back to the house. Had cheese. And I got a cheese stick. If you put chocolate or cheese and say, pick one, I'll always go for the chocolate.
And I will very rarely go for the chocolate. That means that that's, that's why we work well together. Oh, is it? Yeah, I guess. Because you're the cheese to my chocolate.
Yeah. It's romantic. That right there, peak romance. You are the cheese to my chocolate. I don't even know what that means.
You, yes, you do. It means if you walk into a room and there is a bowl of chocolates or sliced up cheese. I'll save the cheese for you. I'm not going for the chocolate. I'll be eating the cheese. And I'll save it for you.
It's nice. I'll say, Josh is going to eat this cheese. Nobody eat this. It's you in a room by yourself with cheese or chocolate.
So no one eat that is to yourself. Would you rather this or that? We've been talking a lot about home improvements, renovations, redecorating, studio renovations and redecorating. I have purchased a whole bunch of picture frames for the basement, family room, for the library, for the bathroom in the basement. They are hanging on the wall. Empty. Empty picture frames on the wall. It's my favorite when people come to visit.
It's pretty funny. They go, why don't you have pictures in those? And I go, shh. It's a work in progress. Why don't? I'm busy. I should probably print some pictures is what I'm saying.
I have some pictures I need to print for Scout stuff. So I should probably knock that out. But I might as well just add on some others that I need to get printed anyway while I'm at it.
Just do it. And then I can get at least the bathroom taken care of. Wouldn't it be nice if we had one room that was completed?
That's kind of what I'm saying. We don't even have one room that's just completed. Well, but then what's happened is, and you keep bringing this up a couple of years ago, we did this project, whatever, where every room we were like, it's a new month, we're going to focus on this room for this month, and we're going to go through the house. And that was deep cleaning, or maybe it was a repainting, or maybe it was like a full redecorate or whatever. But it gave us a chance to focus.
Instead of going, we have all this stuff in the whole house to do, we said, here's, let's just attack this one room and get it done. And you were like, we should do that again. But then you talked yourself out of it last night, and you were like, yeah, but then it was like, it wasn't ever done, and it still felt like it was expensive. You talked me out of it.
I felt like you were kind of running yourself in circles a little bit. But the point that I was trying to make is that even the stuff that we have purchased, we have purchased the paint for the basement. We haven't done that. We have purchased really cool picture frame rail, and all the frames for the family room slash library. We have all the stuff.
We just haven't done it. Oh, I'm aware. Yeah. I live there. I know what needs to be done.
I live there too. And you get done before I do. Oh, now it's come to that. See, I'm in my off season because that's when I do my gardening and lawn work is when I get home from work in those months. And I'm in my hibernation phase now. Yeah, but this is the time that you need to be working on the house stuff, is what I'm saying. So I get in the warm months, you're outside working on your garden. That's why these cold months, we got to be painting. Not fun painting is. Anyway, I got to print some pictures at least because if I print some pictures, I'll feel like, hey, look, now I really like the stuff in the bathroom. I'd be like, hey, this stuff has, but I want to paint in there too.
I know. And I want to redo some baseboard in there. And then I want a different shower curtain. And I want, you know, it just never ends. I totally get it.
That's why nothing ever gets done because it's looming. But the least I could do was print some pictures so I don't have empty picture frames hanging on the wall. Sounds like a plan. And that's easy.
At the very least, right? That's so easy. I think I can knock that out today. Great. Do it. I'm going to do that.
Okay. I don't know what size they are. I guess what? I bet they tell you on the frame. Yeah, they do.
They do. I'm going to commit to getting that done today though. Great.
Good idea. Awesome. Two thumbs up. Good for me. Let's wrap up the show.
Let's do it. I got other things to do, like print pictures. Yep. Have a good day. We'll see you back here tomorrow.
