Fine Elvis.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
Fifteen minute morning show.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Okay, so at this point do I just decorate for Christmas?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Or oh? Do I put Halloween crap up?

Speaker 4 (00:26):
Christmas?

Speaker 3 (00:27):
Thank you?

Speaker 5 (00:28):
Yeah, you'd be stupid to put Halloween. It's still days away.

Speaker 6 (00:32):
Wait, but you should put a pumpkin outside at least,
Like my kids said to me, you know what, if
there's no Halloween decorations, I'm not trick or treating there
because they don't like Halloween.

Speaker 4 (00:41):
Oh isn't that like right perfect for you. You can
keep all the candy and you don't have to worry
about it.

Speaker 6 (00:46):
I want to give it out. I have so much
that I've hoarded from this place. I need to get
rid of it. You know, it's crazy. Growing up in Brooklyn,
there was one house on my block that actually took
the time and decorated for Thanksgiving. And how did they
do that?

Speaker 7 (00:57):
Cornucopia cornucopias and eves and pictures of turkeys.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
They had an inflatable with Pilgrims.

Speaker 6 (01:05):
So whatever, parents, My parents used to decorate for Thanksgiving
like on the house.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
But I don't see it much. I haven't seen it
since I was living there.

Speaker 8 (01:14):
Just a big inflatable turkey. That's I've seen that, but
that's yeah.

Speaker 6 (01:17):
Yeah, and all the stuff that you made in school,
Like I had a Nina, a Pinta and a Santa
Maria and my freaking turkey hand hand.

Speaker 3 (01:23):
Yeah, every family's got.

Speaker 2 (01:25):
Yeah, the turkey hand in Santa Maria. That's for Columbus Day.
I think you have the mayflower, wouldn't you? Maybe I
did some ship that I made.

Speaker 8 (01:33):
I would, wait, I would I didn't want to say anything.

Speaker 5 (01:35):
I was like, let me not.

Speaker 7 (01:36):
You know.

Speaker 8 (01:37):
I feel like my a lot of my Halloween decorations
I leave up, and I just so I I have
a lot of pumpkins and stuff like that all over
the place, and a lot of them I can just
take away the actual scary part and keep and like
I have this one gray pumpkin that's a ceramic and
on the front of the pumpkin it says haunted.

Speaker 5 (01:58):
But when you turn the pumpkin around, it's very Thanksgiving.

Speaker 1 (02:01):
Leave it up.

Speaker 6 (02:02):
I do the same thing. You can leave up the
scarecrows because they're just kind of like, hey, they're not
you know, they're not necessarily scary. They're just right, Yeah,
although I do the moment the no head I take away.

Speaker 5 (02:12):
Yeah yeah, one, can't you just put a head on it?

Speaker 6 (02:14):
Then I lost the head, so I just hang them
upside down from my lamp post.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
Welcome Garrett.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
Hello, we're just talking about Oh Thanksgiving. Garrett.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Garrett's the biggest cop out ever. He's not a true homeowner.
You know what he does. He pays somebody to put
up his decorations for him.

Speaker 4 (02:32):
Oh hell yeah, good for you, Garrett.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
I've done that for Christmas. We did that Christmas lights.
Really every year you.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Got a guy you gotta.

Speaker 9 (02:42):
And I'm probably the one that should do it. So
this year, I've got this new idea. So my house
has a it looks like it's a second story. But
it's not only have a one story house, but from
the outside it looks like a second story. So last
year I couldn't get lights up there because my balance
wasn't very good after my after the aneurysm surgery. But
this year, I'm convinced that I'm going to be able

(03:02):
to get up on that second floor. And so I've
already I got a ladder. I'm going to climb up
the back roof of the house. And climb up. I'm
not going to go from the roof. I'm going to
go from the backslide. I'm going to put lights on
the whole house this year.

Speaker 6 (03:12):
I'm so you should call the fire department and have
them put those airbags down for you, just in case.

Speaker 3 (03:18):
I don't want owned.

Speaker 8 (03:22):
Nobody plans, really, dumb ass?

Speaker 7 (03:26):
You plan for own a real house like myself? What
does it cost and how do they charge you in
putting up lights? When you hire someone, is it by
the foot or is it by the time.

Speaker 5 (03:37):
And liter depends on who you hire and.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
How What are we talking here?

Speaker 7 (03:41):
Is it hundreds of dollars or is it over is
it over a thousand?

Speaker 10 (03:45):
It could tell us it could be as little as
one hundred or a thousand, now a thousand bucks. Let
me let me go into context before everyone goes, oh
bougie bitch. Uh So I put the lights on the
ground up myself. My son and daughter were convinced we
need lights on the house. I'm not climbing my my

(04:07):
gutters and my roof to put lights on on there.
I'm not doing that. I will fall off. I plan
on going up a ladder and falling every time I
go up a ladder, So I don't go up a ladder,
so I pay someone to do that easily. And then
the ground on me inflatables, lights, trees, that's me. But

(04:29):
everything above my front door that I cannot reach, that's
on someone else.

Speaker 5 (04:33):
No, it's not. And it depends on it also depends.

Speaker 6 (04:38):
On when you fall next week.

Speaker 5 (04:42):
I'm not going I want to text you when he falls.

Speaker 9 (04:44):
I'm not gonna fall.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
You're gonna fall.

Speaker 8 (04:47):
We do the same thing, but it's kind of similar
to garret, where we have some things we do ourselves,
and some things we have somebody else. And if you
know somebody or if you have a friend that does it,
or you can you can actually get a pretty decent deal.
If if you have your own decorations and they use
your decorations to it's different. So yeah, they can also

(05:08):
store them for you if you if you have all
these lights and you don't want to keep them all
year round, if you have enough money.

Speaker 9 (05:15):
There's a company that will come to your house and
wipe your asks for you too.

Speaker 5 (05:17):
Probably that is true.

Speaker 11 (05:23):
See everybody says money can't buy happiness, and sure it
can't buy actual happiness, but it can buy time and
it can buy freedom, and I think that those kistly
contribute to happiness.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
I would absolutely save all my time and buy that.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
I sure.

Speaker 5 (05:38):
I told you.

Speaker 8 (05:39):
Guys last year that my friend around the corner, she
comes home. He comes home and there are people decorating
their house for Chris Great.

Speaker 5 (05:46):
And he didn't call these people. He goes, he started.

Speaker 8 (05:50):
Yelling at them and chasing them away, and the people were.

Speaker 4 (05:53):
Like, no, no, no, no, no, we're supposed to be here.

Speaker 5 (05:54):
This is the address. He goes, what the hell are
you talking about. I didn't pay for you to do this.

Speaker 8 (05:58):
Well, his wife went and she did so they showed
him the paperwork and the address.

Speaker 5 (06:04):
He was living.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
He's a phonetop.

Speaker 8 (06:07):
He was so pissed. The house looked beautiful. And here's
how I found out. I text him, oh my gosh,
your house looks absolutely beautiful this year, and his text
back was, well, let me tell you what happened.

Speaker 6 (06:21):
Well, there are some people that still just want to
do everything themselves and don't want any Like my dad.
He's almost eighty. He still goes on the roof and
cleans the chimney.

Speaker 3 (06:28):
Does he still shovel snow?

Speaker 6 (06:29):
Your dad's gonna fall too, he is, there's no doubt
he's gonna fall, break us hip, and it's done, and
Freddie can share a bedroom.

Speaker 3 (06:35):
And my parents finally gave up the snow shoveling.

Speaker 7 (06:37):
They were out there right up until like two years ago,
and then last year we had that one storm. My
father was like, fuck it. We get people that knock
on the door every time, trying to hustle and make
some money. He is. I always would be like, no,
thank you, no thank you. Last year, I true them.
I threw him sixty bucks. They cleaned the whole place out.

(06:59):
They were done to hat snowblower with them and everything.
He goes, I loved it. I saw. I sat in
my lazy boy all afternoon. I didn't have to lift
the finger, and I paid him sixty bucks. I'm like,
ah see, welcome to freaking my world.

Speaker 3 (07:12):
Pay for everything.

Speaker 10 (07:13):
So I watched a take the Christmas lights from from
the office and I go, hey, you know I know
someone that can help you out, and he goes, I
want to try it.

Speaker 3 (07:20):
I give Nate one season.

Speaker 10 (07:22):
He's gonna come back, and you're gonna be like, all right,
I need that number, and I'll be like fine, that's
the novel.

Speaker 1 (07:26):
Let me try it, Let me learn my lesson, let
me not fall.

Speaker 10 (07:30):
So Nate was lighting a fire over the summer, and
I watched the video of him go like this from
sitting down.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Have you ever start an air fire?

Speaker 7 (07:38):
Far?

Speaker 3 (07:39):
You try getting up on your roof to put up lights.

Speaker 6 (07:42):
Man, you light a match and you drop in the thing.
What are you talking about?

Speaker 3 (07:45):
You don't you do the seals?

Speaker 1 (07:47):
I don't have these fancy logs that like logs.

Speaker 6 (07:50):
You crumple up about ten fifteen pieces of newspaper.

Speaker 3 (07:54):
Kid, Dad, You gotta get the air flow. It's all
about the airflow.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
You gotta get that airflow going.

Speaker 6 (07:58):
And your wood has to be dry.

Speaker 3 (08:00):
Wood was a little damp. That was my problem. Damp wood.

Speaker 5 (08:03):
Don'd Yeah, Sometimes that's good.

Speaker 3 (08:06):
You want wet wood and other times is dry.

Speaker 1 (08:09):
Hey back to Garrett real quick.

Speaker 2 (08:11):
So what happens when the guy that you found on
Craigslist falls off your roof? No?

Speaker 9 (08:15):
Here, here's here's the thing.

Speaker 10 (08:19):
Obviously, Christmas lights, they're not a a three hundred and
sixty five day a year company. The guy I hired
his other job which he I use him for. He
does mosquito shields. So he comes in the yard so
on on on Wednesday he's doing his final spraying of
the yard. And then Thursday of next week he puts

(08:41):
up my Christmas light.

Speaker 6 (08:42):
A lot of landscaping companies will do that too, should suit.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
If they fall off the roof, then who's paying?

Speaker 1 (08:48):
Is he insured?

Speaker 3 (08:49):
He's insured by the company?

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Nice, right that I do want?

Speaker 2 (08:53):
I want somebody to hold your ladder though, froggy that
see I think about that ship too. I'm like, man,
that's how nine nine out of ten accidents are like
guys falling off the ladders.

Speaker 1 (09:04):
You know that, right it is?

Speaker 9 (09:05):
And you and here's the problem with somebody holding their ladder.
Usually my ladder holder is my son, who is cel
is almost twenty. So I'll get up and lade, I'm han,
I need you to hold this. Get up on the letter.
I look down. The fucker's on his phone. He's like,
I got it. Like what you're doing.

Speaker 5 (09:23):
See, that's not.

Speaker 8 (09:24):
Good for you because if you hit your head, your
head is more fragile than most of our heads.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
So not good.

Speaker 1 (09:29):
Up and open like a limit.

Speaker 2 (09:31):
I mean, it's gonna be like my parents regularly call
me and like, hey, do you remember Hank from church.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
I'm like, yeah, fell off the ladder broke yet, Like shit, yes.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
Not froggy. I'm not gonna frog.

Speaker 9 (09:45):
I'm not gonna Nobody ever plans on it.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
OK, here's the.

Speaker 9 (09:48):
Problem if I do fall. If I do fall, I
won't fall off the ladder. I'll make it to the
roof because I have a one story roof. It's the
part where I have to try to reach the second
floor little arch thing where there's like little arches over
these fake faults windows I have to That's where the
problem is going to be. I plan to lay on
the roof like the direction that the roof is going,

(10:08):
and put these Imagine I'm a lay down on the roof.
My roof is shingle, so it's got you know, it's
got some grip, and I'll lay down and just clip
each one.

Speaker 3 (10:19):
I'll be fine.

Speaker 2 (10:20):
Just think how much simpler life would be if you
were scary where all you had to do is put
out your Charlie Brown Christmas tree and you've done for
the year.

Speaker 1 (10:28):
Do you have any other decorations?

Speaker 5 (10:29):
That's humbug right now.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
I don't have any decorations.

Speaker 7 (10:33):
No, I just I've added a couple of balls.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
To the Charlie Brown Christmas tree.

Speaker 7 (10:44):
I was at an appearance a couple of years ago
and listeners made this homemade jingle bell wreathly type thing,
and I say, we hear that you don't have real
you don't have any decorations, so we made you this
and we brought it for you.

Speaker 3 (10:58):
So every year I hang out on.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
My it probably has a camera in it listening watching us.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
Very weird watching you watch porn Hub with that bowling
alley scene with the hell scene was.

Speaker 4 (11:11):
That was like basement bowling alley?

Speaker 3 (11:18):
It was. It was a basement bowling. It was bowling alley. Bukack. God,
who knew there was such a thing?

Speaker 4 (11:27):
What is It was the worst thing. It was the
worst thing I've ever seen.

Speaker 2 (11:30):
If you look for it, you can find it in there.
We got the porn Hub intro who loaded that in?
You did remember we played it?

Speaker 8 (11:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:38):
It was part of a game we played.

Speaker 3 (11:40):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:40):
Anyway, I think we've kind of run the gamut.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
Do you want to give us the sign off?

Speaker 1 (11:45):
There?

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Scary?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
You want me to play? Yeah, let's do that off.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
Last podcast for the week, so exciting.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
