Speaker 1 (00:00):
Backed by popular demand. It's the wife versus the expert
at all, know the expert expert in all things? You
have nerves. You're the bossiest person in the world, and
I'm not to know at all though people do um
for our first return episode, you guys, thank you, guys.

(00:20):
Do you guys, Make sure you guys share the feed,
tell a friend about the wife versus the Expert, and
enjoy it. Man, we're trying to grow this thing, hopefully
that you guys enjoy it because so many people have
asked us to bring it back. In fact, the truth
is the only reason why we stopped it is because
of somebody over here at Yes, because she got mad

(00:43):
at me. We got in a fight, and she can't
work if she's mad. No, I don't want to work
if i'm mad at you. With you, I don't want
to work with you if I'm mad at you. So
there's that things must be done. Man. The family can't
stop and you get mad. And that's not true because
there were other times where I was like, we should
do the wife versus the expert, and you're like, yo'll
do it, I'll do it'll do it, and then you

(01:03):
didn't do it well. Because as soon as we're get
in a fight, you don't you don't want to do it.
The people are gonna be upset with you. They won't
be upset with me because I show up the work.
They're gonna be like, whatever you need to do, you
should do it. Say sorry, may get out of it. Anyways,
we got a couple of really good topics up today.
First of all, Kanye finds guy, is he welcome back
at the cookout? Also, couples television? Should couples watch television together?

(01:29):
And shouldn't you be allowed to have your own damn
TV time You're you're showing a biased view already. You're
supposed to introduce the topics like neutrally anyway, Okay, Sally,
Jesse Raphael, I mean I do have a lot of
television experience anyways. And we got our football picks, which

(01:51):
originally started the Wife versus the Expert, um, and we're
gonna keep score of them. So make sure that you
keep score, keep tracking, because I'm going to kick your
butt as usual. Um. And also that's how it became
the Expert. No, it's not you won one time. We've

(02:12):
only done it one time. Don't stop, um, anyways, and
also how to scare your husband the scariest thing in
the whole world. And every episode we're gonna have a pole.
So there will be a pole attached to this if
you're watching it on um YouTube or wherever else you're
watching it. And then also when you watch it, if
you download the podcast, then the pole a link to

(02:35):
the poll will be in there. So please vote. I
do this every day, I do radio. Get out of here,
appreciate so anyways, So the poll will be artificial tree
versus real tree because it is Christmas time. Last year

(02:56):
we solve the issue of the lights from the top
to the body them instead of from the bottom to
the top like a neanderthal um. But this year, this year,
Denisia wants me to get a fake and artificial Christmas
tree instead of a real Christmas tree, which has our
house smelling amazing like Christmas, like baby Jesus. That's Baby

(03:19):
Jesus smells like a pine tree. No, it's not a
pine tree. Frankinsense and murder and all of those things.
That's what Christmas tree smell like a wet into that.
So fake Christmas tree versus a real Christmas tree. So
we will get into that discussion about that. But we
are going to start where wife versus the expert started,

(03:41):
which is with with the college football games in the
pro football game. So we're gonna pick three every week,
and I guess we'll try to see if there's a
way that you guys can get involved too, because we
do a family. Um, a family pick them every week.
And who's dominating right here? Who had literally two weeks

(04:01):
where I dominated maybe thirty points above everybody else. It
was crazy. I picked all of the upsets. So if
you guys are like gamblers out there, which we don't encourage,
you should go after my picks. If George picks a team,
pick the opposite team for sure, especially if you're betting

(04:21):
big money. That's my tip. You sound like a wife
right now. Um So, the three college football games that
we have this week are u C l A versus USC.
Usc is favored by fourteen points and the over under

(04:42):
a sixty. Oh so they think it's gonna be high scoring.
I mean, yeah, in the thirties probably. Well actually, no, no,
no no, And they actually think the score is going
to be So if you subtract the four team, that
gives you fifty one, So then fifty one divided by
two is like they think that so they think the

(05:03):
score is gonna be twenty six to like forty, it's disrespectful.
Number one. The pick is obviously U c l A. Okay,
don't try me on this one because you so so
you think that. So do you think you is gonna
win out right or win by less than lose by

(05:26):
less than fourteen points? Well, obviously I think both. Okay, okay,
so okay, the over under will the total number of
points in the game be over sixty five or under
sixty I don't want to do over under. I don't
care about that. I'm just picking you. Ceiling spoken like
a true wife. USC wins the game, and USC um okay.

(05:51):
Here here's the truth about U c l A. Though,
don't trying to don't try to qualify this because you
made your pick. Now make your pick and lying there
bed I'm saying that, well, I actually picked U c
l A to cover the points. But I'm saying USC
is going to win. And the reason why it's because
U c l A is a momentum team. You got

(06:12):
Dorrian Thompson Robinson, who sometimes makes the worst plays possible
quarterback and ever makes he's like mine, scratching le bone headed.
Some sometimes plays but when momentum, don't be a fan.
Later he's a sophomore and Thompson Robinson says on his Twitter,

(06:32):
so I like it, don't be a fan. Later it's
impossible to be a fan. Now. I started liking him
in you actually, actually, let's be real. You said he
is terrible. He was terrible in the beginning of the season.
He was growing in the offense. He was very young.
He was taking risks and they were not paying off.

(06:55):
But clearly the man is not terrible. Okay, he's a
momentum player. He's he's a front rank. Just now picture
me picking usc ever like picture that ever happening. Okay.
Oregon versus Arizona State. Oregon is favored by fourteen and
a half points. The game is Arizona State takes this game.

(07:17):
Oregon is gonna win. Yeah, Oregon is gonna win. They're
gonna win by more than the fourteen and a half points,
and they're gonna win the National which I think every
single year. My dame is George in Oregon, Oregon, Oregon.
Even I wear an Oregon shirt every single day. What
is it if my line? Where's the lie? Yes, Oregon

(07:39):
shirt every day. I'm very fashioned Oregon shorts. So anyways,
more than fourteen and a half points, shout out, shout
out Kenny. Um, oh you you have nerve because you
love your Oregon gear. Okay, Um, Penn State. The big game,
the biggest game of the whole week, though, is pin State.

(07:59):
Verse is Ohio State. Ohio State is eighteen point favorite.
Ohio States number two in the country, even though they
even though they're probably the best team in the country,
their ranked number two. Um, and Penn State is I
believe number nine right now? Okay? So who no? Number eight? Who? No? Nine?

(08:22):
Because Oklahoma's number eight? Um, where's it being played? It's
being played in the shoe? Okay? Is that home for
the pen Penn State or Ohio State. Penn State's home
is Happy Valley. Okay. So he loves to say stuff
like that, like he knows everything is in the shoe. Okay,

(08:45):
So Ohio State, Ohio States playing at home their number
two Any significant injuries? No, but Chase Young is back.
Who's the best player in all the college football this year?
And which position does he play? Defensive end? He's better
than Justin Herbert. Yes, mm hmm, I've never heard him

(09:05):
say this. Okay, So and he plays for Ohio State. Okay,
Ohio State in the eighteen points, you think they're gonna
win by a t I don't like picking points. I
pick who's gonna know? Denisia, you have to pick the
points too. I like points. Okay, tell me what to do? Yes,
I do. I'm the husband. Correct. That means you don't

(09:27):
tell me what you obedient. That's not what obedient means.
I'm obedient to God, first of all. That's what I'm
obedient to. So when you are obedient to God, that
I'm obedient to you, and you telling me what to
do is not that. So I will say Ohio State.
I don't think they're going to cover that spread though

(09:49):
I haven't seen Penn State play though, to be honest,
so I will say Ohio State. I got Ohio State
and the eighteen points. This is gonna be a bludgeoning there,
gonna beat the hell out of him. Now onto the
NFL games. You got the Seahawks at the Eagles. Important
to your brother in law, e one. So you got

(10:10):
the greatest quarterback in all of football right now Russell Wilson,
who for some reason, because I love Russell Wilson, but
I've always loved What the hell are you talking about?
Oregon played Wisconsin and the rolls ball when they beat
him up there. I'm not because you're saying stuff that's
not Oh lord, oh miss miss potty mouth is now offended.

(10:35):
All right? Um so, anyways, the best quarterback in football
versus Carson Wentz and the Eagles and Deniesia for some reason,
is and the Eagles are favored by one point and
Deniesia for some reason, has a fascination with short quarterbacks,
like she like she loved the shorter the quarterback better.

(10:56):
She's like, look at look at Kyler Murray. He's five
ft four, he can be a quarterback. I'm like, babe,
it's better if you and he went number one in
the draft and he doesn't let his height get in
the way with it. Because George thinks, like, you know,
if you're big, like that's gonna solve all your problems.
It's not going to solve all your problems because you
know why, when when you're extra big, you you don't

(11:17):
have to develop the heart because you use your size.
So to me when when we see a Drew Brees
Russell Wilson out there doing it, whooping everybody, Kyler Murray
whooping everybody. I love that Drew Brees can't even see
over his offensive line bawling. I respect that. Then you

(11:38):
get the big guys, Cam Newton. I love Cam Newton. However,
I don't think he's doing that great. He's doing pretty bad.
So his size is really not helping him right now,
right correct, But it helps. It's things that tend to
be a little easier for because you can see over

(11:58):
the line. All that. He says, if you're bigger, I
just but I just prefer heart. Russell Wilson is shorter
than Carson Wentz. Yeah, oh bye bye, go on with
the Seahawks. I got the Seahawks because the Seahawks are
better quarterbacks they have yeah, yeah, they and Russell Wilson

(12:21):
finds a way to win games. And I'm picking the Seahawks.
There my super Bowl team right now, Uh, Cowboys at Patriots.
Patriots are favored by six and a half points. You
got that versus the Patriots defense, who's really good, and
Brady's offense which thinks this year. So who do you

(12:42):
have and they're playing at the Patriots. Do we know
the weather? No, we don't know the weather because that
makes a difference for passing versus running. No, not not
in today's NFL. Yes, it always does. No, it doesn't.
This is why his picks are not right. You don't
look at the big picture. Let me see it again.
And they're favored by six and a half. I go Patriots,

(13:05):
You go Patriots? All right? I am going Cowboys because
I like Da Decks throwing for three yards a game.
He wants his foty million, and I'm with the dude
who's trying to get his coins. So when the dude
is trying to get his coins, side with him because
he will die to win. I love it. Um. Last

(13:30):
game up? Oh wait, do you do you think the
Patriots are going to cover the six and a half? Yes?
I do. Loser Packers at Packers versus the Rams some
kind of way. I lost the line for this game.
But the Packers versus the Rams, I would imagine that

(13:51):
the Packers are favorite. Who do you have in this game?
Packers have kind of let me down this year? What's
their record? Uh? Seven and three? Who did they lose
to Oh lord, I've tually the expert. I'm just wondering,
if you're the expert, why you don't know that expert.

(14:13):
They sometimes I have so much sports information in my
head that sometimes you actually have to write things down
on paper. I cannot remember everything. They are first in
the Pactor, their first in the NFC nors so they're
head of the Vikings, headed alliance, yes, headed a Liking,
head of the Vikings, ahead of the Bears. Okay, they're

(14:38):
ahead of the Likings and and the Rams have a
huge problem there. Opposite line is a problem. They just
started to Ricky's last game they played Packers have to
fly across the country. Yeah, but it's easier when you're
flying east to west, correct more than it is that,
but you're also it depends on the time of game,

(14:58):
so they're probably playing like a one and unless it's
like the Sunday now Sunday night game. No, no, no,
no, no no, no, it's not the it's the afternoon game.
So they lost to the Eagles. They lost to the Chargers.
Wait was that in l A Yeah, oh no, no,
they've only lost two games. Ye, so seven and two. Okay,

(15:23):
so they're playing the Rams. Come on man and take
you that long to sit down? Why don't you go first?
I got the Packers. I have the Packers. Jared Golf
looks like, yeah, he looks he looks bad, and they

(15:47):
just gave him a new contract extension. So the Rams
have given contract extintions to a bunch of dudes who
didn't need them, um, and forgot to show up their
offensive line. So who do who do you have? So
we can move on to the greatest topics? Okay, Ram Rams, alright, cool,
you're going to be a loser this week as well. Um.

(16:09):
So we watch a lot of television together, and I
watch a lot of We watch a lot less television
together because when we first started dating, we used to
watch all these shows together. Parenthood was like the main one,
and we would be like like, I'll cuddle up like
watching this show and we're like, oh my god, can

(16:29):
you believe he did that in the relationship And then like, no, baby,
couln't believe we did that. I would never do that.
And then we totally bonded and now like the the
television that George really wants to watch, I don't want
to watch because it's terrible TV. All of it, and
that's our new topic. She has nerved all right. So

(16:51):
so so look, I live with a woman who I appreciate.
She wants to live her best life, self empower meant,
all of this stuff, but like she wants to watch
stuff that, like she wants to watch a Yon Lo
couple's therapy anything. I'm not really into the soap operas

(17:13):
as much, um, but I love anything on on Super Soul, Sunday,
Fix my Life, all of that. And I'm not in
the mood for like self help self improvement every day.
So sometimes I want to watch mind gun, what wait
for this? What would you? What are you in the
mood for? On the television? So look, first off, here

(17:35):
are the TV shows that we watched together. We watch
This is Us, which is a fantastic show. But the
problem is sometimes I'll try to turn it onto each
was like, oh, I don't feel like I get it.
I get it some sometimes, but we can't be like
three episodes behind. The mid season finale was just on Tuesday,

(17:56):
and we're three episodes behind? Not cool? What what are
you talking about? I can't even like go on. So
I'm on social media every single day all day, so
and I can't like read things. I have to like
try to avoid spoilers. Okay, so we watch over This

(18:17):
is Us because it's is it not an amazing show?
Okay exactly. We watched The Good Doctor, which the dude
who plays the autistic doctor is freaking fantastic actor. I mean,
great job. Um. Denisia loves the Mass Singer because I
can guess all the people. I literally guess at least

(18:39):
the people, so it's just like a little challenge. But
the kids watch it, so we we love to watch
that with kids. Blackish, well, our family is Blackish. I
feel like they have cameras following us around because our
kids literally mirror them. So we got Devon's in college
just like their daughter. And then we got the oldest

(19:02):
son who's just like our oldest son. He's smart, but
he said some stuff sometimes you'd be like um. And
then you have the the next daughter who's kind of
who's kind of like means sometimes but like that she's
super bossy um. And then you have the baby sun Ye,

(19:25):
and then you have the infant as well. Our family
literally our family. And George thinks I'm like a hippie
like Rainbow yes, because I like everything organic, and she's
trying to get us to get an artificial Christmas tree
because it's good for the environment. It's good for the environment.
They plant these trees Danisha to let's stay focused. But

(19:48):
it's we'll get to that. It's a living thing, so
you it's okay to make something live in order to
kill it. This is the same woman who loves spaghetti
with meat sauce, but is also trying to get me
to become a She's slowly trying to sneak in. Hey, George,
what do you ever think about going going plant based?

(20:09):
Like like, yeah, yeah, if there was a good enough
reason for it. You have not presented good enough reasons
for me yet. Um. So those are pretty much the
shows that we watched together. Here are the shows that
George watches. George likes to watch Fortune and Fire. George
likes to witches a crazy Um, it's like Billy Show.

(20:37):
Don't you watched? No, they make knives. It's a skill,
it's a trade, it's something to do. Call on this show.
You would be like, what is George watching? Anyways? What's
the one where they compete that's Forest and Fire? No,
the one where they compete and do this, Oh for death,

(21:00):
I don't like that one quite quite as much. Thank
you going. I watched Succession, which is a great show
on HBO. Listen, if you say anything bad about Succession,
the people are going to slander you. I just couldn't
get into it. Why all right, here's here here, here's
the truth. I'm gonna be perfectly honest, is that when

(21:23):
shows don't have people of of any other race in it,
I don't. I don't watch them. Yeah I don't. Well,
yes you do, because you watch Succession. No, there are
other people. There's a black lady in Succession, like out
of how many characters, not very many, not even extras.
There's not even people of color extras on that show. Yeah,
but the show is super good, So I don't care. Well,

(21:43):
I I prefer shows that demonstrate some diversity and some
some different storylines. I mean, I'm more woke than you
because you just out here. Your Succession is a far
fabulous show. And we can't let our away of completely
white show that you watch, Billions, Billions, it has like

(22:07):
a couple of black people. But you know, it's not
just about black people. It's about there should be women,
there should be somebody when you work out in the world,
it's not only one particular people at a job. Show
first started, it did not have that diversity, but clearly
they have gotten some feedback because they have added some diversity,

(22:29):
which is good. But now I'm not into it. It's
too too far in I didn't watch Game of Thrones
for a long time because the same thing, well, all
the people in it were white initially, so it was
just exactly okay, um, Black Monday. We like that show.
I like that show. Okay um. I like Survivor a

(22:50):
lot too much. This man every time time the TV,
I want to watch Survivor, want to watch Survivor, and
I just can't. Really It's a okay sometimes I can
watch it, but sometimes I'm like, everybody's lying, everybody, this
is this is not what I want to spend my
time watching. Yeah, I want I want to watch Oprah.
I want to watch I want to Yeah, I want

(23:12):
to learn something. I want to hear the human story.
I want to hear like you know, something like uh really, yeah,
tell me, tell me tell me more about that. What
are you talking about? This is I'm glad she said
that people because that led me to my next point, see,
I set you up the way I can hit home

(23:35):
runs off you, or I can dunk the ball, spike
the football. Uh. She wants self empowerment, all this stuff,
but then she wants to watch Killer Wives Snapped, women
who killed And this leads us to the next topic,
how to scare the hell out of your husband or
a partner or whatever. Start watching killer Wives Snapped or

(24:00):
women who kill or buried in the backyard at night.
So this is actually a true story because George and
I went through a rough patch in our marriage. Right.
So then I'm over here like in generally not the
best mood. So which shows am I drawn to? I'm
not drawn to this is us. I'm not a good doctor.

(24:23):
I'm not drawn to that. I want to see snapped.
I want to see something that's like okay, okay, I
see how that happened. Yep, I see how that happened
to you know, that's how she got caught. Like these
are things like I don't know, I just get in
a different mood. But that's when you need to watch
a yanla and you're watch all that all the time. No, No,

(24:45):
I'm saying, when you're mad, that's when you actually need
to watch it the most so you can get back centered,
turn on your heads face half or something. So well, okay, well,
then when you're mad, what do you do? I get
I get unmad, but getting hell away from you and
play a video game. Play video games and you murder
a thousand people playing whatever that sports. Yeah, and so

(25:10):
you just feel manly, you know, you get your manly
stuff out. This is me being like figuring out how
to kill somebody and try it. I have no interest
in killing anybody. I have no interest in killing anybody.
But it's something that gets that little energy out of me. Um.
I probably shouldn't watch it, to be honest with you,

(25:30):
because it does it. I think it does stir you
up a little bit more, and you like, see that's
how people get killed. You know, it probably does. But
he was genuinely scared. He was genuinely like thinking that
I'm over here plotting his murder. See, okay, here's what
you got time to kill you here? You have too

(25:52):
much to live for. Here's the truth in this situation
is that when that all those due to those shows
had no clue that they were getting killed, they were
getting arsenic poisoning. She's acting like she's taking care of
hiring a hit man, killing them in his sleep, all
of these things. And you are very vulnerable as a

(26:13):
human being, even if you're bigger and stronger than somebody
else when you are sleeping, so or when you are
I didn't know, and I'm just saying that that that
these things when you have these images in your mind
and you're going to sleep and somebody super piste off
at you and you're just wondering. And in the shows,

(26:34):
these dudes had no clue. They should have had a clue.
They knew how they were living, Okay, So that's the
scary part is that somebody can be walking around thinking
about the fact that they're going to plot your murder,
kill you take the insurance money, run off with the
new dude, and you have no clue about that. So

(26:57):
that's what's scary. So what I used to do when
because I knew what used to scare him, what I
used to do would be like I would turn it
on in the room and then I would leave so
it still be playing in the room, and then he'd
be all like razzle dazzled because he thought I was
like what he'd be like why do you watch so

(27:18):
much of that? It's probably not a good idea. We
should ask a counselor about this, because exactly because I'm
the one who's self helping around here. I mean, it
just makes no sense like that when when she gets upset,
she turns to the devil, she not not Oh, and
that's something No, no, no, no, I didn't so he watching.

(27:40):
What were you watching when you were upset? Do you remember?
Because I remember Power? That's what you got all into Power,
all into it and the show about drug dealers and
killing and and betrayal and um, it's an action show.
That's like when it's worn, it is a it is Ah,

(28:03):
there's not been a sex scene on Power. I'm just
telling you, I can't even watch that. My Christian nature
will not let me watch Power. Because I'm serious, I'm serious.
Pastor Dudley tells us, shout out Pastor Dudley. Sometimes he watches,
but Pastor Dudley tells us not to be feeding our
minds with that stuff. So what do you feed in

(28:25):
your mind with? Mm hmmm hum, Especially when you're mad,
you'd be over there watching no stop, the power is
entered to It is a drug Dealers show about these
people who what a part of that has to do
with Jesus Christ. They're making all the wrong decisions exactly.

(28:45):
Oh this is coming from the same person who used
to love loving hip hop and all these shows. No,
I I actually stopped watching that because the same thing
my Christian sensibilities took over. Oh that's what it is.
No or Actually we said that we were going to
stop watching them because we used to watch them two together.
Mind you, Real Real Housewives, Basketball Wives, all these things.

(29:07):
They are entertaining television shows, very entertaining. However, sometimes I
we started to believe for us that it would argument, Yeah,
that it would spark an argument, or it leaves little
seats in your mind like oom, I wonder if somebody's
doing that. I mean, especially because we have a very

(29:29):
complicated situation sometimes blended family, all of that stuff. It's like, oh,
I wonder what's going on? You know? It just it
makes the mind wondering. All types of crazy stuff happen.
So let's get to the tree. Let's get to the tree.
Hold up, can we go to kan Kanye No, No,
I want to talk about the tree. Okay, go ahead,

(29:51):
So let me preface this by saying that I have never, ever, ever,
ever had an artificial tree, and I used to have
some sort of judgment against it, like artificial tree, like
that's not Christmas. I get where he's coming from on this,
but here's where I'm at today. Number One, artificial trees

(30:13):
are a lot nicer than they used to be, really nice.
And now talking nice, well, how much do we spend
on a tree every year? We spend don't. Yes, I'm
the one who buys the tree. I go pick it up.

(30:36):
Are you kidding me? No, I'm not. No, I'm not
you have no. I'm giving my argument. I'm giving my argument. Okay,
so Number one trem No, it's not you don't have
to buy two tho one. I saw one that was
really really nice for eight d No, you didn't really,
cant told you that that was the one at Costco
and that was the Costco one is five hundred. The

(30:58):
Costco one is five hundred. But I saw another one.
See he don't even know. He always always in the
kool aid and done no research anyway. Number one, artificial
trees are a lot, a lot nicer than they used
to be. Number two way better than for the environment.
Even though I too love the smell of the tree
in the house, it is sad that the tree dies.

(31:21):
Like it's used, it's consumed for our own family enjoyment.
This whole tree that took all this time to grow,
has a whole life ahead of it, has all this
to contribute to. No, it still contributes to the environment.
This is this is the thing like it could be
out there living and contributing to the environment, but we

(31:42):
are chopping it down for our own personal enjoyment for
a very small period of time. Apple that you just ate, No,
that's not an apple. Is the apple tree still there?
That that the apple came from? Yeah, because the tree
is contributing to the environment, it's giving us apples. That's
the point. So then so then if we chop it

(32:04):
up and use it for firewood and kindling, is that fine?
If the tree dies, that's the type of stuff you're
supposed to use for firewood. That's all I'm saying anyway.
So it's it is less expensive. It's not less expensive
because there's way more upfront costs. What are you talking,
there's and you're gonna need you pay more upfront, but

(32:27):
you say more long term. That's the same reason why
we're getting solar as we speak. So if we get
let let let's say, if we meet meet in the middle,
find an amazing tree that's fift bucks. It doesn't need
to be fift I'm telling Actually, if y'all have a
place to get a good put more than one tree
in the house, I think we should try it out.

(32:48):
We can try it out. Do you want to ruin Christmas?
That doesn't ruin christ Rulesmas? Saying about no Christmas tree,
back to my Christian sensibilities is about Jesus Christ. Your
friends are gonna look at and they're gonna be like,
that's right girl. Anyway, So my it's less expensive, it's
better for the environment, much much better. It's less of

(33:11):
a fire hazard. Bad things happen with Christmas trees, whether
or not when we use l E ed s. It
doesn't matter. They don't get hot and start fires on
the tree. It's a dry piece of wood inside your house.
We keep it hydrated anyway. We actually have never kept
our tree. Oh no, no no, And please don't use

(33:31):
the word we say say say you because I've never
seen you put water in the tree, not nan out
of time. So to me, in my opinion, that's not
my job. That's not my job anyway. In my opinion,
it checks a lot more pro boxes than it does

(33:52):
con boxes. The only con is that you don't get
the smell of the tree, which I think we can
substitute in an their way. But I think that honestly,
it is much more responsible financially environmentally. Hold on, hold on,
hold on. Okay, So so let's just use because there's

(34:15):
trees that are two thousand dollars and more, right, and
then there hold on, and then there are trees that
are five hundred that you were like as kind of
suspect somebody in the middle, and we have and we
have a very high ceiling. So yeah, so we at
least need a ten foot tree at least, so maybe
eight nine. We don't do a ten ft Yeah we do.

(34:37):
You have no clue what's going on? It's ten ft? No,
it's not, is it? It's twelve ft away? Oh my? Look,
keep going, keep going, make your make your argument for
your selfish self. So let's say we we spend about
two fifty bucks a year under tree, and then we

(34:58):
and if we bought a fifth teen hundred dollar tree,
how many trees? Is that at six? My god? First
of all, your math is so bad. We don't spend
two hundred fifty dollars and we don't have to buy
a tree from hundred. That's bad math. I picked a
number in the middle between your number and that number,
so that's six trees. So that's six years, right, then
it would take to pay for itself. No, because we

(35:20):
don't pay to fifty for no tree. Where can you
get a ten foot tree for two d Come on,
come on, come on, come on. You don't get no
ten foot tree for two You don't even come with
us to buy the trees. Not true. I didn't last year.
I didn't come last year. But I'm just saying you
don't know how much the tree work. You know how

(35:40):
much trees are. I've been buying trees long before you
were around trees. I bought my trees every year anyway.
So all I'm saying is that it will probably take
how many years are three years? Three years to pay
for it? So stop? How many How much do you
think we spend on trees? I think we spend about
four bucks. I'm trying to tell you three probably for sure,

(36:08):
and then it's dead in a in a month did
and we killed it. So so let's say, even if
you're right, even though you're not three fifty bucks a tree,
bucks for a really nice one which you haven't even shot.
This is what is so frustrating about. You haven't even

(36:29):
looked at one thing to know how much. Can we
at least have the discussion. So it's so it'll approximately
taken between four and six years to pay for a tree. Dude,
I just said three. I just said three. It's gonna
take about three years max. If we spend three fifty
bucks on a tree, that means that that is what's that? So, yeah,

(36:54):
we're not getting a ten fifty tree because it probably
isn't as dope as a regular Christmas tree. Like, if
you're gonna get a fake tree, you got to get
a good fake treat. Well, then we'll get a good
fake tree. So let's say it's bucks and then it costs,
and it takes in between four and six years to
pay for this tree for what you would have normally paid.
So by then you're going to need another new fake tree.

(37:16):
Why how long do you think fake trees? Says style?
It's not the style that's going to change. If you
buy a good one, that one should last you for
how long? Forever? Stop? Stop? Have you ever known anybody
who had a fake tree? My? My, my, my grandmother
used to have a fake I actually do know people
that have had a fake tree and had the same
fake tree forever. And it probably looks raggedy as hall

(37:38):
right now. Wow, you offending some people right now. Just
I want people to tell us to honestly, because we
are going. We made an agreement that whatever the poll
says we're doing, we need a minimum number though we
need a milli number five people. No, we don't need
a minimum number. We're doing what the poll say. Yes,

(38:00):
that's it. The pole is the pole. We need a
minimum number because if we if we get that's not
a good sample sized. I think that's a great sample
size because those are the people that actually watched and
listened to our arguments. And so that's what it's going
to be whichever way it goes. Whichever way it goes,
we ain't fake tree. So so y'all, yes, we are, Yes,

(38:27):
we are. We'll see what the process. No, nobody's gonna
say that. And nobody hates Christmas, even even Jewish people
who watch this, are gonna say, let's give the people
a Christmas tree. I mean, they don't want to fake Menorah.
It's not a god. They don't help him. They don't

(38:49):
want to fake. They want they want a living Manora. Exactly.
There's not a such thing. Um. The last up Kanye finds,
Kanye finds Jesus, He's hanging out with Joel Olstein, all
these things. So Kanye was disinvited from the cookout. If, um,

(39:11):
if you don't know what that means, that's the fictional
place that black people live. Um that that like, either
you you are invited to the cookout or you're not
invited to the cookout. People who are not invited to
the cookout they do suspect things and and aren't necessarily
for the culture. So Kanye was running around with us

(39:31):
make America Great Again hats on saying weird stuff that
like and and I don't mean weird in terms of
agreeing with the make America Great Again stuff. I'm just
saying like weird, like incoherent stuff, off his man stuff
at times where people who even agreed with him were like,
what the hell is he talking about? So anyways, so
Kanye got disinvited from the cookout. People were black. People

(39:55):
were like, listen, we're off Kanye all of this stuff.
And Kanye, it's funny. I said it been for way
before it even happened. I was like, the only way
Kanye gets reinvited to the cookout, I mean, because it's
like him, He's not invited to the cookout. Candice Owens
is not invited to the cookout. Jason Whitlocks not invited
to the cookout. Like, these are people who are not
invited to the cookout. So um oh, Stacy Dash definitely

(40:18):
not invited to the to the cookout. So Kanye was
disinvited from the cookout. So I said, listen, the only
way for Kanye to get his way back to the
cookout is to is to make because there were some
rumors that he was gonna make a gospel album or
something like that. I was like, listen, he has to
go to Jesus route. That is the only way to

(40:40):
get back to the cookout, the only way, and Kanye
has found Jesus. Some people think it's a marketing employ
and marketing tool, but but here here's aroun to know
God changes hearts God and and then yeah, God changes
hearts and that and that people and that people change

(41:01):
and also but but I really to meet his statements
and stuff ring true, ring authentic to me, because he's like, look,
he was talking about how like music impacts so many
people and so many people who love or have faith
and all of this stuff. Instead of making music about

(41:22):
those things and making music that celebrates God or celebrates
their faith or anything like that, they don't because they
make music that is trying to sell the way they
can be popular and make more money all this stuff.
And Kanye's like, look, you can do both at one time.
That was really long, So can you make your points

(41:45):
a little more succinct going forward? Okay, I will say this,
Kanye came out with Jesus Walks a long time ago.
Kanye was he's in the church. So he came back
to the church, and I'm happy that he did. I'm

(42:08):
not a hundred percent solid on the authenticity. Even Kim's
being covered up. Have you noted like he wouldn't even
he said, if you're involved in premarital sex, you can't
even work on this album. Well that's interesting considering who
he married. She has a sex tape tape. I know
but I'm just saying like that. Have you noticed that

(42:31):
Kim has not been posting nudy flicks? I mean this quarter,
like the neudy flicks haven't been stopped. They've mean they've
let me see in the last one. She's had some
some newdy picks for a while, and I have no
judgment against that. That's how you want to do it,
do you? But that's not for me. See, I don't

(42:52):
even follow Kim Kardashian. See you over here, that's what
that's why you in the in the stuff, honey, look
look at look at it. No more half naked pictures.
She what is that? She's in a bra and panties.
What are you talking? She's advertising a freaking thing called skims.
It's it's there, she's panties. Don't take it's high wasted.

(43:15):
This looks like a bikini. Don't say she's covered up,
but don't say she's covered up and then be like
she's advertising a thing. So if I'm advertising a vibrator, like, look,
I'm just advertising a vibrator. The difference is is that
she used to post like naked pictures, remember, not naked.

(43:37):
She's changing her stuff up to anyway, I'm all fine
with that. I have a little bit of a side,
I a little one. I'm very happy he made a
gospel album. I'm very happy he's returning to that. Nope, nope,
so you still not really? Not really, but I'm happy

(44:00):
did it. I'm happy he goes to the churches like
I'm happy for him. He's just not he has he
has No, he's no longer my cup of tea. Are
we going to Sunday service? We go to our Sunday Sir, Kanye,
Sunday Sunday Sir, I'll go to Sunday service. Whatever, don't it,

(44:20):
don't make me, don't break me either way. How are
you gonna hate on the man? I'm not hating. I said,
I'm very happy he did it, very happy. Soca Soca.
So can Kanye come to our our Suarez at at
the house? Can I invite Kanye? Yeah? Yeah, we'll see.

(44:41):
Is he on his mad's? Is he gonna stay crazy stuff? Probably?
I don't know. Well, we we have other people that
come over and say crazy exactly. Oh, yes, yes we do.
Won't won't we name me any names? But yes, but
yes we yeah, yeah, Um, the last thing we wanted
to touch on super quick was Colin Kaepernick. So there's

(45:06):
a lot of people. So so he had his work
out and it has been a hot button topic in
the community. And actually it's less about Colin Kaepernick because
this was the same thing happened when Lizzo, who Why
Man Great tid they gotta be right? The big girl Lizzo,

(45:27):
Lizzo b big Girl, Lizzo b Eaton. That's her, that's
she named herself on social media, Lizzo b Eaton. So anyways,
um so she won a Soul Award over Ari and
people were upset about that, and Denicia made a point,
go ahead, what's my point about people hating? I think

(45:51):
in general, Black people hate on each other, like real critical.
We are really critical of people in the spotlight in general,
and I think that like Lizzo obviously, like I don't
even know why you would be hating on Lizzo. People
hate on Oprah, they hate on Beyonce, Like why this

(46:12):
girl is out there doing it on a major level,
like despite adversity, I do not understand it. And Lizzo
actually has a pretty cool story too. She'd been doing
this forever that that song that Why Men Great? Until
they got to be great. I put George on that
song like two years ago, at least two years ago,
this song has been out, and so to me, I'm like,

(46:35):
I'm happy for her success. I'm happy for Oprah, I'm
happy for Beyonce. I'm happy that Colin Kaepernick is getting
a chance to live out his dream. Why Because I
like to see people win, That's why. And I don't
understand why in the black community when we see each other,
when we're like, yeah, but you know she won that

(46:56):
Soul Awards, she's not really soul. You know why she
an get another another shot. He protested against his employer,
why not? Because people who protest against their employers get
their jobs back all of the time. They still get
to work and earn a living. They still get to
pursue their dream. So to me, I I have no

(47:17):
problem with anything any protests that Colin Kaepernick did, not one.
I don't think that what he I don't think he's
a perfect person. I don't think he's a saint, but
I'm I do think that he was passionate about this.
I think he's stuck to his word, and I think
that's I think it's admirable, very admirable that he is

(47:39):
still willing to put himself out there and be subject
to all of this criticism and still do it anyway.
That's to me, like I I wish that we had that.
I see other communities have that for each other. You
don't see people talking like tearing people down in like
Korean cold. Sure, well maybe you do, because Devin kind

(48:02):
of schooled me on that that they're very critical. Yeah,
they're critical on the K pop community, but like the
Jewish community, uplifts people. You They support each other's businesses
big time, big time. The well, the thing that I
think that is the problem is that so many people

(48:23):
live from a scarcity mentality that instead of saying, okay,
let's grow the pie, make the pie, make the pot bigger,
they think that somebody else's success takes away from them.
That Like it was like when Dave Dave East he
was like, oh, little little nos X old Town Road.

(48:45):
He was like, oh, it's lame, blah blah, Like you
live in two different lanes. It's okay, the great person
Little nos X comes up, does a country hip hop
song and it hits big people hating on him. Then
it comes out it's gay people hating on him all
over again, like I hate that song. No, you love

(49:08):
that song. You love that song. So that's the thing.
I don't understand why we have it so much and
people don't uplift and they're always so critical of people
who are putting themselves out there and trying to do
something different. Like, I just don't get it. I don't
get it. So if I see black people hating on

(49:29):
Colin Kaepernick, Beyonce Oprah, I've always like, but why yeah,
but you yeah, but they they couch it with. I'm
just here to tell the truth. I'm just here to
tell it like it really is, because you don't want
to really hear the truth. You just want to coach
person one person that says that, but that there's other
people that there's a lot of people who say that.

(49:49):
They really say he sucks or he's average. There's a
lot of average quarterbacks in the NFL. But let's get this,
let's get this straight. If you're in the NFL, you
ain't average, period. You're better than that. Oh. Because I
always try to try to try to tell the kids
this because when when we say things like, oh, a
player is not good, a players stinks, or this or

(50:13):
that that you have to consider it that it doesn't
mean that that player is terrible. It just means relative
to everything else. Like when Matt Barnes was in the NBA,
he was not a thirty point a night score, a
twenty point a night score. However, if you bring him
down to your local man's league, he's gonna bust everybody's
ass like he's gonna score fifty points a game because

(50:35):
he's better than everybody else. Because even though you are
in the pros, it's all relative. You may not be
great compared to other people, but that that doesn't mean
that you stink. But you are clearly the top one
percent of the top one percent. Yeah, but people at
home think that they can do your job. That's what's

(50:55):
insane about. That's one area where everybody kind of hates
because if you make one mistake, it doesn't matter how
great you were. Well tech text Winters, who's the author
of The Architect of the Triangle Offense that Phil Jackson,
Michael Jordan, Kobe one ran Um. He said about greatness,

(51:16):
he said, you're only great in the in the moment
that you do an act of greatness. That after it's over,
that you're no longer great that you actually have to
continuously choose do great things and achieve them. You get that, Yeah,
I get that. Look bless you. Let's see, that's what

(51:37):
the husband's supposed to do. That's why she she's the
wife and I'm the expert. Guys. Thank you guys for
