Gross. The mini definitions of binding. Which one was your favorite? Quilting. Quilting?
Mhmm. Okay. Snowboarding for me. Josh had a very vivid dream. Yeah.
I'm still kinda confused about it, though. I don't know what it means. What does it mean? What does it mean? The sketchbook challenge was a good time.
Eventually. Didn't start out so great. No. It didn't. After Josh tried to be an appliance repairman, we broke down and got a new washer.
Good try. It was really good try. I'm proud of you. Okay. Our kids think we're kinda cool.
But they sure can't tell us why. Spirit Christmas seems a little unnecessary. And the guy who did the YouTube video took way too long. I don't have time to be a basketball fan. Oh, football, man.
We might have found our family Halloween costume for next year. Might. We absolutely found our Halloween costume for next year. Alright. And a last minute substitution isn't always a bad thing.

Ever ever heard anyone say tomato. Me neither. Or potato for that matter. Because you'd look at them and you'd go, what? Exactly.

We have metal music, heavy metal bands, metal. Yeah. Yeah. World origami day. Have you ever done origami?
Yeah. Just a fun here and there? You've never really practiced a lot and got the tools to make the creases just super crisp? No. Yeah.
I haven't really delved into it much, but I have made it before. Nice. I think it's cool. It is very cool. Some of the more intricate ones that people can build I didn't say it was cool.
I said I think at school. School Oh. School. It's also cool. It is it is also cool.
Sound like you said, I think at school. Do you see how I could be confused? No. I do. Okay.
Hey. It's a national sundae day as in the ice cream treat. Hot buzz. Sundae. Sure.
If that's what you like. Yes. I do. Scotch. It's any kind of sundae.
Butterscotch? You're gonna pick a butterscotch sundae? You are an old man. It's okay. That's not a critique.
It's just fact? Yeah. Yeah. Adorable. World Orphan's Day today, that is still a thing that exists, in the world.
And so, there are children in foster care systems. There are children in in group homes. There are a lot of children that are parentless. And, today, we'd like to remind you that they do exist. And maybe you could donate, help with some supplies.
There's fundraising opportunities all the time. Maybe sponsor a child on World Orphan's Day. There's a lot going on. Fantastic. Yep.
Pocky. Oh. The little, sticks dipped in chocolate. Uh-huh. Yeah.
Those are tasty. It's Pocky day. What else going on? Is that about it? Origami and National Education Day.
Education is good. It should be good. Yeah. That's what's happening. Alright.
And a Monday. And it is Monday. And I heard that the weather is supposed to be, like, 60 degrees today. No way. Yeah way.
Are you for real? That's what Google told me last night. Really? Let's look I'm looking. High of near 60.
Wow. Currently Mostly cloudy. Breezy in the afternoon, and then, you know, chance of snow tomorrow. Not kidding. Alright.
So have fun in the sun today. Where's your screen? Well, you got it. There you go. Good morning.
Grammys are coming up. Okay. Okay. Alright? I was trying to decide or see when the Grammys are going to be.
Figure that out. Okay. Who's, who's nominated? Do you know that? For album of the year, it's New Blue Sun by Andre 3,000.
You'll remember Andre 3 South 3,000 from Outkast. Outkast. Yeah. He was the I can't even think of the song they say. Hey Yeah.
Hey Yeah. Thank you. Holy moly. That's alright. Early Monday.
February 2nd is when the Grammys will air. I didn't know that he even had a new album out. Nor did I, but he's nominated for which award? The album of the year. Okay.
Along with who else? Cowboy Carter from Beyonce. K. Sabrina Carpenter. K.
Charlie x c x. K. Jacob Collier. Sure. I don't know him.
Billie Eilish Okay. Which this album is amazing. So I kinda hope she wins just because I don't really know any of the other albums. Okay. Chapel Rohn and Taylor Swift.
Oh, wow. There's which Taylor Swift album? Church Road Poe. It's departed. Of course.
Of course. Of course. I forgot that she released a whole new album. Wow. There's a lot of competition in there.
They also have a record of the year and a song of the year. Yeah. What's the difference between the 2? Sure. Yeah.
Do you have album of the year, record of the year, and, like, song of the year? So is record of the year Record of the year deals with a specific recording of a song and recognizes the artist, producers, and engineers who contribute to the recording, while song of the year deals with the composition of a song and recognizes the songwriters. Uh-huh. So record of the year is the artist. Song of the year is the songwriters Okay.
In a nutshell. They are pretty much the same. There's a lot of both of these people are there's the same people in each of these categories with the new with a slight difference. Okay. Does that make sense?
Sure. Okay. The difference there is the Beatles, that new song that they released now and then. Yeah. I just meh about that song.
Okay. You like that song. Yeah. I thought it was great to hear new Beatles in what? That came out last year.
So Did it? Was it late 23? I can't remember the That's why I thought it had to be this year. It's there's a window. Just like the Oscars, there's a window.
And if you have your thing released in the window, it counts. Oh, okay. Kendrick Lamar is on both of these lists. Uh-huh. I love that song.
Right? They Not Like Us. Just not like us. Okay. That's all.
Alright. And that's it. Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish. Right. Great song.
Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter. That song was everywhere. Still is? Good Luck, Babe by Chapel Rohn. I don't even know that one.
You do. Do I? Yeah. You just don't know you do. I don't.
I know the pink pony club. That's a different one. And I know And You Know How TO Go. Yeah. Also a different one.
H o t Right. Yeah. See, look at you. You're you're plugged in. I know I am.
You're a dip. I know. You're up with trends. I know. Tell everybody else.
I just did. Pay attention. Chantel is up with trends. I'm in. Could be your, middle name.
Chantel, up with trends, Tielor. I can't be Chantel trendy, Tielor. I mean, that's a little simpler, but up with trends. I am up with trends. Look out.
Watch out, Mudang. You know Mudang. Mudang the hippo? The pygmy hippo? Yes.
Watch out. There's a new pygmy hippo in town. I heard about this. His name is Haggis. Yeah.
He was born in Scotland. Yes. She's 12 days old. They're and they're trying to to capitalize on their pygmy hippo, but I haven't looked at, at Haggis. I've seen plenty of Mudang.
Mudang is Is haggis as cute? Uh-oh. I know. Poor haggis. Also No.
Haggis is not as cute. What's also with haggis? Haggis is not as cute. Mudang is pretty cute. Haggis is cute in his own way.
Well, that's one way to put it. Maybe maybe just maybe haggis will grow to be cute like Mudang. Mudang is slippery. Haggis looks haggard. Rough.
Yeah. Haggis looks rough. Mudang hangs out in water. Haggis is hanging out in straw. Yeah.
I see that. I think we need and I think we need some more pictures of haggis. I don't think haggis is getting a fair shake. The Edinburgh Zoo in Scotland said there's space in this world for 2 beautiful pygmy hands. Agree.
And we should celebrate them both. I think it's great. Mudang is 2 months old. Mudang is old. Haggis.
Gonna bite knees and stuff like like Mudang does? I don't know. Because Mudang gets is, like, got a lot of social media following. Personality, doesn't he? So I think there is room Is Mudang a girl or a boy?
I think a girl. Yeah. Haggis is a girl. Okay. I know that.
But I know trying to brand, Haggis as Mudang 2.0, and I don't agree. Wait. What's it what's with all of these pygmy hippos? Where do they all come from? Well, see, wouldn't know.
It's just strange that there's all of a sudden all this pygmy hippo talk, isn't it? It is interesting. It's it's an interesting thing. I don't know what to do about the, baby pygmy hippos. Oh, I don't think you have to do anything about it.
I I'm so far, I'm team Mudang. Oh, poor Haggis. Sell me. Sell me on Haggis. I like Haggis's name better.
You do? I think Haggis is a hilarious name. Do you know what Mudang is? No. Mudang Where was Mudang born?
Do we know? Thailand. Yeah. It was born in Thailand. Mudang, was chosen through a public poll with over 20,000 people voting for the name.
Really? And it translates to bouncy pork or bouncy pig in English. So Mudang is Mudang is a great name. A fantastic name I didn't realize. For bouncy pork.
I changed my, I redact my prior statement. Where haggis Haggis is a thing that eat in Scotland. I don't know exactly what it is. Do you wanna? No.
I don't. No. I don't. It's Yeah. Don't explain.
I don't need any kind of allowance. Bouncy pork. You take oatmeal and spices and some sheep offal, whatever that is. Offal, offal, o f f a l, and you boil it in a sheep's stomach. Oh.
Oh. Yeah. No. Thanks. Haggis.
And, oh, it's the, edible internal organs of the sheep. That's what the offal is. Delicious. Yeah. So Fancy pork.
Or Or Hohoo. Dang. Yeah. Why I mean, I get it. It's a Scottish thing.
But There's enough there's enough love in the world for 2 baby Pig me. Hippos. You're right. They should, oh, they should meet. Oh.
I wonder what they would do if they met. Nothing. I bet they would. They would sniff each other. I don't know.
Did they work like dogs? We'll see. Put them together. Mhmm. Let's see how they work.
I don't I don't know. Maybe Okay. Down the road, when they're older, they can be more mature, not bite each other's knees. Maybe then they can party together or whatever. A pygmy goat.
Pygmy goat. Pygmy goat? Hippo party. Yeah. Alright.
Hippo party. Yeah. I'd go to that. With little hats. The whole thing.
Have a pygmy hippie. Uh-huh. We can't even do it. So he's a businessman. His name is Jeff Vinick.
And last month, he sold most of his share of the Tampa Bay Lightning Hockey Team, which he originally purchased back in 2010. K. So over the last 14 years, the value of that team rose a lot, which resulted in a really large profit for Jeff Vinick. How can we buy a hockey team? I don't wanna buy a hockey team.
I just kinda wish I worked for the one Jeff Vinick owned because, he realized that he could not have earned the big profit all on his own. So he decided to give each of his 300 employees a bonus from his shares that he sold. That's so good. What a big business owner. The generous gesture totaled around $20,000,000 that he ended up handing out in bonuses to his 300 employees.
Not one employee received less than $50,000. Dude. Come on, man. Yeah. This was Jeff's way of thanking his staff for their dedication and hard work over the years.
Everyone received a bonus. Jeff is well known for his charity efforts and donations in the community. He saw a unique opportunity here to once again impact the life of others. And what he had to say was he said, I've been very fortunate. I happen to be good at something that made me a lot of money, and I feel I need to give some back.
I've always been a hockey fan, and I thought I could buy a hockey team and use it as a vehicle to improve the lives of people in the community, and he's doing just that. So job, Jeff. Jeff. Way to go. Jeff.
I know. Handing out them bonuses, making it rain on people. Everyone's getting some bunnies. The the smallest bonus was $50,000. Oh, man.
Nobody received less than that. It's pretty incredible. How much is taxes on that, do you suppose? Depends on how bonus structures work. I don't know.
I'd have to look into that. Yeah. It's not important. But no. Still, that's extra money.
That's fantastic. Let him know what he wants. Money. Yeah. It's good news.
Very good. You going. We were out driving over the weekend. We saw a truck with a license plate that said binding. I Right.
My initial response was, oh, that person is a quilter. I think they, ski or snowboard. I think quilting. Because snowboards have binding. Do skis have binding?
Of course they do. Yeah. Oh, what is the binding? Well, maybe they're into books, actually. Oh, hey.
I was just looking at other kinds of bindings. So on skis, it's the part that holds your boot on. On snowboard, same deal. It's the binding is what bounds binds Binds your the rider to the board or skis. You shouldn't be no.
Thank you. I'm not gonna be bound to anything. I'm not gonna be bound to skis or snowboard. You know why? Because that's a stupid sport.
It's terrifying. K. The definition of binding itself, especially in regards to an agreement, it is something that cannot be legally avoided or stopped. Oh, so maybe he's a lawyer. Or Or she?
Sure. Yeah. Oh, that license plate brings up so many questions about what that person's hobby is, what that person's job is. You've just left me with more questions. I know.
And maybe we weren't even reading it right. There's always that. It's it pretty much says I what it says, but maybe that's not what it says. People get novelty license plates all the time that say one thing, and you go, that's interesting. And then you talk to them, and they go, that's not even what it means.
Like, it's something else. And you go, how is that that? Yeah. Or could've spelled it wrong. There is that glue salesman.
They wanted to say bonding. Oh, or that. Yeah. Which is, I guess, never know. We will never know if you have the license plate.
Yeah. Are you into mean? Are you into quilting? Because savesies. Oh, I see.
Shared experience. Shared hobby. So for I I have how many quilts that I haven't You have so many that need to need binding. Need binding. Yeah.
See? And quilting. I if I need to be in touch with that quilter, I don't need That's I don't know. Or snowboarder. Or reader.
Book maker. Or lawyer. Yeah. Who knows? Good luck out there, whoever you are.
So last night, I had probably, I would I would say this is the most vivid dream I've ever had in my entire life. What was it about? And I've had, like, dreams that felt real. Okay. But I've not had a dream to to where, like, as I was waking up, I was aware that I was waking up.
I don't even know if that makes any sense. It makes zero sense. It's so strange. What happened? Let's, analyze that.
Even know how it all started, but I ended up somehow connecting with, one of my favorite bands and ended up backstage at a show. Oh. And there were there were some other people and stuff that I didn't know. I had to go through this whole lanyard process for credentials to even be able to get in, and it was like, they had to do a picture thing and a whole identity thing. It was very strange, the the procedures you had to go through just to be able to get backstage, and then backstage.
It was it was the biggest performance from this band, like, you could ever imagine, like, beyond anything. I mean, like, fireworks and, like, it was crazy to see all of this happening backstage. And then after the performance, like, I'm wandering around. I'm meeting people. I'm talking stuff.
All this stuff. I'm looking at all the the technical things that are going on. Very, very cool. Okay. And then after the show, everybody's just kinda hanging out.
I'm having a conversation with some of the people, and I'm like, dude, I gotta show you, like, this is really funny. I actually met you years years years ago, and I was excited to show the pictures and stuff. So I'm like trying to look through my phone. At one point, I tried to send you a message, but I couldn't figure out Oh, I was with you. Like in my brain.
No. That's rude. It was wild. And so I tried to, like, take some video and stuff to send you, and I couldn't get my my phone figured out to communicate. It was really weird.
That's rude. And then as I was trying to show, the photos and stuff from years years ago on my phone, I'm looking through the album. Like, oh, this is hilarious. Like, I was nervous to hang out. Like, it was this whole thing.
And, and someone walked up and said what sounded like a weird little key phrase thing that that was like, this dream has to end. Oh. Like, it was it was like code for its time to go. Was it your alarm clock? No.
Oh. And then and then it was like I was being, like, pulled out of that dream back into, like, it's time to wake up time. And my eyes, like, slowly, I became conscious that I was laying in bed. Oh, and I was like, that's weird. Like, it was so real.
I forgot that I was just asleep. Like, that's strange. I don't know what that is. I don't know what that is either. I was looking if I could see anything online.
What does it mean when you dream about being backstage? Sure. This represents some aspect of you, a more creative way of expressing yourself. But that nah. Nah.
I don't think that's it. Yeah. I don't know. Really, really strange. If you have a dream about seeing and talking to a celebrity, it means that you have a desire to have some of the characteristics and traits that you admire about that person.
Okay. Maybe that's something. Make sense? I don't know. That's pretty rude that I wasn't with you.
It's not my fault. Yeah. It kinda is. Point because there were multiple concerts going on, and, I almost walked to a Matchbox 20 concert, but then realized that wasn't where I was headed and then went to where I was supposed to go. I mean, I could hear the songs in the distance, and I was like, that's not it.
Song That's not the show. Just one Matchbox 20. So I don't know if someone was in the house listening to Matchbox 20 while I was trying to sleep. I don't think so. I don't think either of our kids are turning on Matchbox 20.
I know. I don't even think they're even still a band. No. I think Rob Thomas is just doing his own thing. Tom Thompson?
Rob Thomas? Rob Thomas. Rob Thomas. Yeah. Is that not what I said?
I I don't know what you said. I thought I said Rob Thomas. But, anyway I think you just said Thompson I don't know what I said. Something. But, anyway, weird.
And I don't know what to do with, like, real vivid dreams because that was it was beyond real. Really weird. You just didn't Some dream analysis. Super in touch with your Yeah. With your psyche.
I guess. Your subconscious is just close. But if you ever you've ever like like, I've woken from a dream and been like, woah. That was real. But I've never been, like, aware that it was time to wake up from the dream.
That was the weirdest part. That is weird. Yeah. Like And then I'm, like, holding on to everything, like, every little detail. Like, remember this.
Remember this. Remember this. Do you remember most of it? I think. Oh, no.
Write it down. Otherwise, it's gonna be gone forever. So weird. Like, there are people that I talked to and interacted with that I don't know but felt like I did. Is that weird?
That's weird. It's a weird dream. I don't know what to do with that. Some dream analysis needs to happen, though. I just did.
Yeah. Yeah. You did the quick Google. There's somebody out there who's like, no. This guy's going through it.
Anyway Whatever it is. We were hanging out this weekend, you and me and the kids, and we were trying to figure out something fun to do. I didn't wanna be inside, but it was also a little chilly and it gets dark earlier, so there wasn't a lot we could do outside. We thought for a minute that we could go bowling. We thought for a minute maybe we could go do some laser tag, but nobody was really feeling that.
And then you, as we're eating dinner, see this thing that says that there's Well, it was a trend. Yeah. So and I've seen it, online for a while, and the idea is that everybody gets, you know, a sketchbook or a piece of paper or whatever, and you, do these drawing tutorials on, like Disney Plus has this show called, what's it called? I think it's called Sketchbook. Sketchbook.
Yeah. And, and it's sort of, you have a a Disney animator who goes through the process of creating the character, gives you a little backstory about their their life and how they became part of Disney, whatever. And then they kinda show you, not step by step, but sort of how they draw the character. Did you, when you were first looking at it, think that it would be a step by step kinda tutorial on how to draw? I maybe.
I I thought maybe more more than it actually is. I thought maybe it would maybe not as, like, draw an oval and then draw an oval and then draw a square. And that like, maybe not as, like, broken down as that, but maybe a little bit more of, like and here's the process. Yeah. Then I the here's proportions.
Here's how the head's going. See this and you go, oh, there's this cool story about Disney animators, and we hear a story, and then we learn how to sketch. And I'm like, this will be fun. What a great idea. Right.
So we run to this craft store. We get sketchbooks. We get, pens and There's some fancy pencils. Yeah. And we go home, and we watch that show, and it really is just the Disney animators telling about how they got into Disney animation, which is fascinating.
Right. It was super interesting. Not what I expected at all. Right. And and we started with Olaf because I thought that seems like the easiest of the sketching, based on the other characters that I'm looking at.
So let's see what happens. Oh, sure. And, yeah, the and the animator is all about her story, and she's like, here's my rough sketch. And then you were like, okay. I'm out.
Went by 2 seconds. I don't think I'm in that. But then she starts actually lining out the drawing and talking a little bit more about the process of drawing. That's when I was like, well, I think I can follow along now because the pace felt a little better and they spent more time focusing on the actual drawing than just her story. And so that's when I was like, yeah.
Cool. I'll follow along. I'll draw Olaf. So I drew Olaf, and I was the only one that did. Everybody else just watched and was like, this isn't it.
I expect that. I think this was just a way for dad to show us that he's really good at art. I'm not. I just wanted to do something fun. It was good.
I did too, but it was too fast for me. I needed a more step by step. So then we went on YouTube and found more step by step, and we drew aliens and bluey, and we drew, what else? We drew all kinds of things. Yeah.
So it turned out to be a pretty enjoyable evening all in all. But then we went and found the little kid drawings on YouTube. Let's be clear. Like, it was like, okay. Now you're gonna draw the number 11 twice, and then you're gonna that's a pig snout.
Look at. Look at. Look at what you're dead. You made a pig. Good job.
The sketchbook and the drawing videos on YouTube turned into quizzes. Yeah. Then it was, yeah, then it was music quizzes and yeah. Jeopardy things on mine, so it turned into that. It pretty wasn't it was pretty enjoyable.
Yeah. It was not enough. I didn't feel like we spent, not enough time or enough time. It was right there. It was just right.
Yeah. Felt good. It did. It was bad. Good to hang with everybody.
Good now we have a lot of sketchbooks that are do. That aren't gonna get used. You that's what you said when we were if I find these laying around because we didn't need to buy 3. We could've just bought 1. Yeah.
You they were also spiral bound and perforated, but you were just like rip. So, you know, you do what you do. They're gonna be laying around, and it'll be okay. Yeah. There.
What a waste. That's it. Pick up some, some paper and draw. That's that's the thing. It was fun.
I enjoyed it. It was alright. Just work on drawing. Work on fancy pigs and elephants because I know what you draw. It's the only thing I know how to draw.
Pigs and elephants. Yeah. I know. Not fancy ones. Just regular ones.
That's what I said. Work on drawing fancy pigs and elephants. How do you make them fancy? Give them a hat. Okay.
There you go. I'll give it a try. A fancy pig. A washer broke a couple weeks ago? Yeah.
It's been a few weeks. We took a couple of trips to the laundromat. And then you finally on Friday said, alright. I'm gonna buckle down. I'm gonna try and fix this.
Right. I had ordered the parts, and so I said, let's see if I can figure this out. So I decided to become an appliance person. Yeah. Completely took our washer apart.
As you're taking it apart, I'm like, oh, we've had that washer for 13 years. Yeah. So I go, I'm gonna clean some of these parts. Right. So as you were fixing and socket wrenching and Yeah.
Socket wrenches and all of the things, hammers. I'd use, card jack at one point. You did? Oh, yeah. There was a lot involved.
I didn't know that. Involved in in disassembling, repairing, and then, rebuilding the washer from the ground up. Watching a YouTube video? Yeah. Meanwhile Grateful for you.
YouTube, by the way. That's, that's pretty awesome that I could watch a tutorial on how to do this thing. I know. That's pretty amazing. And that washer was spick and span.
We put it all back together. I mean, we took the drum out of it. It was a yeah. There was a lot involved. Put it all back together, and ta da.
It worked, kind of. Kind of. Well, sorta. It ran all of its diagnostics. It was like, yep.
You're good to go. And I was like, hey. Check it out. So we tried to wash a load of laundry. They were getting some error codes.
And then we're getting some error codes. And then we're getting some error codes. Different error codes. And then yeah. And then, finally got it to finish, like, 44 towels and then put those in the dryer.
And we're like, okay. Maybe let's try a a real load of laundry. And fought with it and fought with it and fought with it. And it did not. It never It it it was drained.
Repaired. It wasn't properly repaired. No. And not that I I don't know that I did anything wrong. I followed along the video just fine.
I just think that It's old. It's 13 years old. It it finally was like, enough. It's enough. I can't wash any more clothes.
And I washed that thing. That thing was I know. Brand new, practically. I know. I spent so much time washing that.
You spent so much time taking it apart. We finally just buckled down and bought a new one. Now we got a new washer. We got a brand new washer. I can't reach the bottom of the new washer Is that right?
That I've discovered. That's hilarious. You need a little stool? I think so. That's what Beck said because Beck was like, how does this one work?
Because it's all fancy. Yeah. I can run it from my phone. Did you set that up? Have you played with that?
I haven't done that yet because I don't I think that's unnecessary. I that is not important to me. That is an unnecessary feature. That's so silly. Yeah.
So Beck was wondering how to work it, and I said, I can't reach the bottom of this thing. I mean, I was on my tippy toes trying to get those stray socks out of the bottom of the Sure. Tub. And Beck goes, you gotta put a step stool down here. I'm not gonna put a step stool to reach the bottom of the washer.
That's dumb. I'm gonna come home one day, and your feet are just gonna be sticking out. You're going, I'm stuck. I really I really I like tippy tippy toes trying to get it. It's deep.
That washer's deep. Well, hold some laundry. But it's she's pretty. Yeah. She's a pretty washer.
And it washes clothes. And it makes the nicest little sound when it's hot. A little song it plays, which is a little long. It's a little doo long. It it could be edited down.
I just need a couple of beeps. That's it. I don't need an entire song. Bam. Bam.
Bam. Bam. I wish you could edit the song that it plays. Wouldn't that be cool? Okay.
Yeah. That'd be alright. Because then you could, like that's the feature I need. I don't need the Yeah. Feature to turn it on from my phone.
I need the feature that's like, edit for songs. You could change it for holidays. That would be so cool. Somebody invent that. I'm sure they could make that happen.
I bet they I bet there's already some that exist. I still wanna pay the money for that. There you go. You get what you pay for. Well, congratulations.
I was very impressed by you. Impressed by you. Might not be the right thing to say. Because I'm I mean, like, it was cool that I was able to tear into it, but it was I don't know. I didn't fix it.
So I'm a little bummed about it. Fix the initial problem. You did. There was just a new problem that developed. Okay.
And you were able to put it all back together in the right order. Well So that's impressive. And you were able to load our new washer down the stairs. Yeah. And load the old one up the stairs.
That's a bigger problem. Is also impressive. Wow. So color me impressed. Look at you.
I'm impressed. Alright. I've been colored. Congratulations on your new washer. That's the the family has a new washer, and, laundry can get done at home again.
That's the big Congratulations. For all of us. There you go. There's a new trend going around where you ask your kids if they think you're cool or not. I think our kids would say no.
I asked our kids. You did? Yep. Alright. Did our kids say no.
We're not cool? I asked Emery first. I said, Emery, do you think we're cool? And she said she just laughed. And then she said, sometimes.
And then I asked Beck, and he said, yeah. Kinda. And I said, what makes a person cool? And he said, I don't know. It's just the way a person is.
And I said, okay. Are there any things that you can think of that are that I do that are cool? Neither one of them could give me an example. Oh. And I said, are there things you can think of that make me not cool?
And Emery said And here came the list. It wasn't a big list. She said, when I think I am cool so when I try to argue so cool. I'm so cool. You say it out loud.
Like, I'm so cool. Or when I say slang Yeah. Beck said when I say things like dope. Yes. Slang.
Dope. Yeah. So I'm gonna be using that more. Yeah. That's dope.
They could not give examples for Things that were cool. For you, specifically. Cool or uncool? Yeah. That's right.
I'm just middle of the road guy. I just do what I do. Kinda. Sometimes it's cool. Sometimes it's not.
We're kinda cool. Kinda. Kinda. I'll tell you kinda cool. Sometimes.
I think I'm cool all the time. My kids don't know anything, but you eat. I'm so cool. They turned some of the spirit of Halloweens into spirit Christmas. Yeah.
We talked about this a couple of weeks ago, and there's, like, what, 10 or so stores on the east coast. As a test run, like a trial to see if it's gonna work. Yeah. And I saw a guy on YouTube who had done, like, a walk through. Mhmm.
I thought the family might like to watch, but, apparently, they were very bored by it. Well, one, he was speaking way too slowly, and he was just taking so long looking at everything. He needed to speed it up. So we watched it at half speed, double speed. Speed and a half.
Yeah. And and still, he was taking a long time to walk down every aisle and stuff. Yeah. Cool animatronics, but what I realized was they had taken, like, the scary doll on the swing animatronic from Spirit Halloween, and they had put it in a snowman. And so then it wasn't creepy.
It was just a snowman on a swing. They have, like, a hip swinging Grinch. He's kinda fun. And then all the things you would expect to find pretty much at any retail store, department store in their seasonal Christmas Yeah. They had inflatable stuff.
They had Christmas lights. They had wrapping paper. I mean, they had All the usual stuff. Just typical Christmas stuff. And then they had a few things that were like spirit Halloween slash Christmas mixed, where they had, like, ugly sweaters, but they were, like, from scary movie characters.
Yeah. Like slashing through the snow, one said, and it was like the ghost face guy from Scream. Like, okay. And they had a lot of Nightmare Before Christmas decorations. They had.
It was kind of fun. I mean I'm glad that I got to see it that way instead of walking through myself kind of gonna just say that. Yeah. I'm glad, like, he took out all of the effort that I was not going to exhibit because we don't have one here. But if we did have one here Yeah.
I was happy that I got to sit in my pajamas and watch him shop through the store rather than me going out in the cold There you go. And braving the crowds to shop through the store. So if you're that curious, I don't think it's that big of a deal. I think you're better. I think you're just fine without it.
Yeah. I don't feel like you're missing anything. Halfway through the video, you said all of the stuff you could find anywhere at any of our local stores. Right. You can find this stuff at Target, Walmart, any anywhere.
I don't think we need a spirit Christmas. Yeah. That's my take. I agree. Now Halloween is a little different.
I think there's enough stuff for sale at Christmas time. We don't need a store dedicated to it. I'm trying like, I was really hoping it would be something real, like, spectacular. You'd be like, woah. I've never seen that before.
That's new and cool. But Like, what? What were you expecting to see? It would be new and cool and surprising, wouldn't it? I guess so.
Yeah. But I don't know what it was. Wasn't that. Out of 10, if you're rating it 10 points, what would you give Spirit Christmas? 2, 3.
Oh. I don't think it's that necessary. Yeah. I'd probably go for 4. Just because you wanna be nice?
Yeah. Okay. Beck is into sports. He likes hockey. He likes football.
He likes basketball. He likes college. Pretty much anything about baseball, I think. Yeah. He's not really into baseball, but he does dabble a little bit too.
I mean, he's not full in. Sure. There is a television show called starting 5. It's on Netflix, and it is a show about 5 NBA players that it kinda follows around and and, as they go through their 23, 24 seasons. So this was filmed last season.
Okay. And this is the 5 starting players that are gonna be out on the court at the very beginning of the game, I assume. So these are the most popular players of any team, or is this just 5 players they picked from different teams? How's the how's the show work? I couldn't tell you.
Okay. I know that there are 5 different players from different teams. So it follows Jimmy Butler, Anthony Edwards, LeBron James, who's on the Lakers Yeah. Demontis Sabonis, and Jayson Tatum. I know I know LeBron James was on the LA Lakers.
I know one of them was on the Minnesota Timberwolves. I know one of them was on the Celtics, and I know I can't remember what the other ones were. Oh, one of them was from Miami. The Heat. And I can't remember the other one.
Beck really wanted to watch this, but he didn't wanna watch it alone. And I said, I like shows like this. This is what got me into watching football. Like, I like seeing the ins and outs of their day to day life and meeting their families. And usually, you learn more about their character, and it's a feel good show because you see them as dads and fathers.
And, so I was like, yeah. Absolutely. I'll I'll watch this with you. You weren't interested. Emory wasn't interested, so I said, I'll watch this with you.
It was not my favorite show. Okay. In fact But wasn't his favorite either? No. But right when it started, I said, but I don't have time.
The reason I got into football was because of him and the show that he wanted to watch about football. I said, I don't have time to get into basketball. I don't want to nor do I have time to, like, start watching basketball and learning all the characters and the players. Sure. I can't do this.
But I'd say about a half an hour into the show, I went, oh, I'm gonna pay attention, and I fell asleep. I woke up right as the first episode was ending, and he goes, do you wanna watch another one? And I go, yes. Pretending like I was into it. And then I fell asleep in that episode too.
And then after that episode ended, he said, yeah. That wasn't as exciting as I thought it was gonna be. And so you were off the hook. And he was right. It was not exciting.
I thought I'd be more into it, especially because in the nineties, I was a big basketball fan. I was huge into the jazz. In fact, I even met Brian Russell. Look at you. Used to be in the jazz in the late nineties.
Well I was a big Jeff Hornacek fan. I was a big John Stockton fan. Sure. So I was I was in it, but this is not the show. This is not it?
It's not it. Okay. It was pretty boring. Were they were they just trying too hard to be like quarterback, or were they were they just trying to do their own thing and it didn't land? I don't know.
Like, even they would go to their the player's house and see them interacting with their kids, and it just felt I don't know. Like, they were trying too hard to create something that wasn't there, maybe. I don't I can't explain it. It was not for me. So basketball is not in it for me.
I'm in it for basketball. You got you like the football, but the basketball's not hooking like that. Nope. Well, good. You didn't have time for it anyway.
I did not have time for it. So so do not recommend starting 5 at least anyway, or maybe it's just a for a different audience. To yeah. If you're already into basketball, like, maybe this is the show for you because you already know these characters and you know these That makes sense. Maybe you're a super Boston Celtics fan.
I think Jason Tatum is on I don't Celtics? Couldn't tell you. I don't remember. Not for me. Alright.
Starting fine. Not for Chantel. I'll be not starting fine. Hey. There you go.
We were watching TV over the weekend, and we saw something that sparked your interest. And you said, oh, I gotta show you guys some old videos from the seventies. Yeah. I don't remember how we ended up there, but then we started watching some, some old ABBA videos. And ABBA in the in the early days of their stuff had made some interesting costume choices, we found out.
And we were, we were just completely enamored, all of us, the whole family sitting around watching Abba costumes and their big fur coats and their strange silver shoulder armor shoes. Giant platforms and Blue eyeshadow, heavy on blue eyeshadow. We got it all. We're sitting there watching all the ABBA videos. I look around and I go, there are 4 of us.
There are 4 of them. Uh-huh. There are 2 men. There are 2 women. Right.
There are 2 girls. There are 2 boys in our family. And I went, you guys. You guys. I've never been more excited about anything in my entire life.
We, for Halloween next year. We could totally pull it off. We could totally pull off ABBA. And I don't wanna forget it. It's a whole year from now, which means that it might there's a good chance that it might get forgotten about.
But us Could you imagine? As Abba Yeah. We could learn dance moves. Sure. Most of my dancing is done sitting at a piano.
Yeah. That's alright. You can carry around a keyboard. Ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping. Just that.
Mama Mia. Uh-huh. Listen. Avery's blonde? Yeah.
1 of them is blonde? Yep. 1 of them is dark hair, sometimes black, sometimes red. I got that on lockdown. Yep.
1 of them has facial hair. You got that on lockdown? Ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping. Abba costume. What was the, local looper overall look, though, that the guitarist went for?
And then, which, by the way, our our son, Beck, he said, that's me. I'm gonna be that guy. Okay, buddy. But then he also wanted to be that guy because he wants the Les Paul guitar. Well, that's not gonna happen.
That's what? A $1500 guitar? No idea. But he was just like, I I gotta get a Les Paul for the concert. I just have to.
Can't be ABBA without the right guitar. I'm stoked. I've never been so excited about anything in my entire life. Ping ping ping ping ping ping ping ping. It's it could happen.
It is gonna happen. It is. Start. The Tielor family is gonna be Abba for Halloween next year. Mark my words.
Alright. Somebody remind me if I forget. Okay. Hey. Weren't you gonna be Abba?
But you gotta give me, like, a lot of notice. So remind me in September. Oh. Hey. You guys were gonna have You're gonna need more than September because it's gonna take us a while to acquire all of those, strange costumes.
Yeah. We gotta get some, platform shoes for everybody. Lot of flurry blouse fluffy blouses or whatever that guy was wearing. It's it's something else. You already have one of those.
You wore it for your pirate outfit a couple of years ago. Oh, that's right. You've got a fluffy blouse. I need a lot of velvet. The guy at the piano wears a lot of velvet.
He did have a lot of velvet. You're the fur coat lady. Don't forget. You're gonna need bulk fur. K.
Oh, I'm stoked. Are you? Yes. Alright. Well, happy early Abba Halloween.
Here comes Abba, reunited. Alrighty. It is time to ask the would you rather this or that question. It's would you rather this or that. Thanksgiving edition.
Okay. Would you rather eat raw pumpkin or raw cranberries? I'm gonna go with raw pumpkin because it's gonna be gross, and the texture is gonna be gross. But cranberries are very bitter and hard until you cook them. I don't like raw pumpkin.
Well, are you picking cranberries then? Guess. Oh, that's gonna be gross. Well You have to eat an entire bag of them. You didn't say that.
I did now. You have to eat a whole pumpkin. Good luck. Fine. Fine.
Gross. I don't like the insides of the pumpkins. I don't like how it smells. I don't like it. No.
I was taking our, jack o'-lanterns to the I saw that. Yeah. You took them over to the garbage. Yeah. They smell bad.
Yeah. I know. You're gonna eat that. Pumpkin does not smell very good, does it? Even when it's fresh.
Right. Yeah. I'd rather eat that than cranberries, broad cranberries. And I love cranberries, but you gotta add a ton of sugar to them and cook them until they burst to make them even palatable. Eating the pumpkin.
I am. No. I'm going pumpkin. You're going cranberries. Yep.
Together, we'll have an entire Thanksgiving dinner Just those 2. In our guts. That's a ew. Ugh. That's a terrible wood giraffe.
Can't eat raw turkey because you will die. That's right. So or you could eat raw stuffing. Just hard. It's just croutons.
It's just bread. Yeah. Just hard bread. Mhmm. Biscotti.
It's hard bread. Yeah. That's really hard bread, though. Croutons are palatable. You can crunch through it.
I don't like biscotti. It's too hard. I think supposed to dip it in something. Typically, people dip it in tea or coffee. Yeah.
That makes sense. By itself, so hard. Biscotti is good, though. You had a coworker once that made you homemade biscotti. We need that recipe.
Did I? Yes. Oh. You didn't have any because you didn't like it, but Yeah. It's really hard.
It's so good. Do you have weak teeth? Maybe. I don't know about I don't know. Strengthen up your teeth.
I guess so. You will with cranberries. Yes. I will. Raw ones.
Yeah. Would you rather this or that? So, thanks for reminding me that I have things on the calendar that I forget about. It's I I do appreciate it. We have a family calendar.
And Nobody looks that but me. I I get reminders about stuff sometimes where people go, hey. Are you available to do this thing? And I'm like, sure. Let me look at the calendar.
Hold on. And then I look and I go, yeah. That's available. Sure. I And I add things to it.
I will And then I forget I add things to it. We have a family calendar, and I add you guys to this stuff all the time. Beck never agrees to anything. He never responds to anything. So nothing is ever on his calendar.
Yeah. He said he never looks at it. I don't even care. Okay. So but I remind him of appointments that he has.
Maybe that's me enabling that behavior. Gotta make sure he makes it to his appointments. You're doing it for me too. I appreciate it. Get fined if you don't make it to your appointment.
That too. But so I'm in the middle of, tearing apart the washing machine, and you're like, hey. You got that thing tonight that you agreed to do. You probably should get to a stopping point, and we should go do that thing. And it's a it's an emceeing thing that I'm a host Yeah.
For. And, and so it was like, okay. Yeah. We got to a stopping point, cleaned up, got changed, went to the thing, talked to some folks, found out that there was a double booking. They had another emcee already lined out, and so I was kind of off the hook for doing the gig, which I was like, hey.
Whatever. That's fine. I'm in the middle of tearing apart a washing machine. Actually pretty excited about it because I was like, oh, excellent. We don't have to be here for hours.
Right. We can go home. Like, I've I was so finished this project. When they said, oh, we double booked you. I was like, great.
Let's get out of here. And they were very apologetic. They were like, stay. Please stay. Have some dinner.
Right. We were like, still I'm like, no. Really. I'm gonna scoot. Like, I've got parts all over the basement.
I can really use the time, so this is this is gonna work out. This is fine. The man that we spoke to really did not wanna like, he was doing everything to get us to stay because he felt so bad. And we were like, no. Really?
Yeah. We got things to do. We're happy to get out of here. Yeah. Like, this is okay.
Like, I'm not I'm not upset. Like, I was prepared for the thing, and that's fine. But if I'm not doing the thing, it's just as fine. You've just freed up our entire evening. So thank you.
Now I can go finish the washing machine project that ended up being all for naught anyway. No. It was fine, Josh. Yeah. It was fine.
But sometimes that stuff happens. I mean, I'm just saying. That's just real life. Sometimes you get booked, and sometimes you get booked, and they already booked somebody else. And it creates a situation, but that's just fine.
No big deal. That worked out in our favor. That's right. I was able to, go buy a new washer because my repairs didn't matter. Anyway It's fine.
You have a new tool now. Are you ever gonna use that new tool again? Nope. Dang it. We have a new tool for sale if anybody wants it.
It comes with the parts when you buy them. And so Oh. Yeah. So it's gonna need it? You need it for the thing, but it's Lame sauce.
You know, if somebody just wanted to buy the parts, was having the same issue, they sure held themselves to the tool because I don't think I'll ever use it again. I have no reason to put bearings and stuff like that. So bearing tool, if you were in the same situation and going, I just I want the parts, but I don't wanna buy the tool. I have the tool. We got it.
Yep. And that's gonna do it for today's show on that, double book note. Have a fantastic Monday. Happy Veterans Day. Thank you to, our veterans.
Thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts. We appreciate you more than you will ever know. I have nothing to add to that. It's perfect. You're exactly right.
