I I'm sure we have a lot to catch up on.
It has been what is it three almost a month
that we have not been on the air, so I
think there our last day I think was December tenth
or something, what is it January fifth?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So almost a month now.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
They always say when you know, like people who win
the lottery, they say, oh, I would still continue to work. Yeah, yeah,
after this month, I go, Man, if I had unlimited money,
but you could, you could just never work again.

Actually, I'm I'm thrilled to be back. I missed all
of you, especially Dougie. I get along with her so well.
And chocolate. Charlie, you're looking quite dapper with this with
these glasses and hair there. Now, I do notice a
change from twenty twenty five Charlie to twenty twenty six, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well, these glasses look a little more or well, first
of all, they're teeny tiny and they are They're kind
of like Jeffrey Dahmer glass the way I see him.
But if Jeffrey Dahmer were like shrunk and head perhaps
as a kid. Yeah, what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
We went we went out of uh, out of the
country for a for like four days, went to Punta Khana. Uh,
and I went walked into the ocean and I got
hit in the face with a wave and my glasses.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Immediately fall off. Oh no, and then.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
I couldn't see the rest of the vacation. I just
couldn't see anything. It was just everything was blurry.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
So these are my backup glasses that I had at
home waiting for me my actual new glass.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Case of emergency, you had to back up ones at
home over So.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I went and I went to the eye doctor, and
I was like, oh, you know, what is it an hour?
I thought for some reason, I was like, you know,
you get your glasses back in an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's two weeks.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Two weeks and there hundreds of dollars, hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Do you have the vision insurance for the use it
go ahead?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That that cuts down the first four hundred dollars of
the glasses or whatever. I can't believe how much glasses cost.
I guess they haven't bought any getting Gucci glasses or
something or what's going on. No, I don't remember what
they are.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
I don't think they're Gucci, But at the glasses store,
that's a lot of the brands, they're just weird.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You're like, Polo makes glasses. I didn't know that. What
is the point? Why ralf Loranz? He'res like, what is
what is this?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
The only glasses brand at the glasses store is ray
Band that I could think of, and it's all other
just luxury brands.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I don't know, so I don't remember what I got.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So now I just have to have to look. I've
been looking stupid for two or three weeks now.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Jeffrey could have taken you to Lens Crafters.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
You could have had these turned around in an hour.
I don't think it is an hour. No, it's not
an hour anymore. It's Miamish.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Besides, Lens Craptors doesn't take my particular insurance.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I go to a I go to establishment in Lakewood.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
As a matter of fact, speaking of glasses, I'm due
for not I have my eye exam schedule for later
this month.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
All right, Well did you did you swim around in
the ocean trying to find these things for like five
minutes thinking that maybe they would hit you in the
leg or something.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, I where I was, and I was so stupid.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I was walking in the ocean and I go yeah,
and that said, maybe even out loud to myself, you
everr glasses on, and I was like, it'll be fine.
I'm just gonna I'm not gonna get hit in the
face or anything, and I'll be I'll be fine. And
then wave just hits me right in the face and
immediately I look down and it's just like white foam,
you know, and just mud but kind of not mud,
but it's just like sand and foam down and I
(05:50):
look down and just gone. There's just gone to me immediately,
and I'm like, there's no even looking. There's just no
looking for him. The wave immediately just sucked him back
into the sea. So once you know they're gone, they're
just gone. I'm just standing there and I can't see
for some time day one or day two, day two,
I think, and then the rest of the time I
just can't see. And I was there with some people
(06:12):
I know, but I couldn't think.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It were it might have been a different route. You're
not sure.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
I really couldn't well what was happening because we're at
this resort and we're like wandering around and I see
people I think we're there with but I can't. I
don't want to wave to them because half the time
I'm wrong of who I'm looking at. I didn't realize
how bad my vision was, so I couldn't read anything.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Just it just it was awful. It's terrible. And there's
no I didn't I didn't fly with him.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
So whenever we go someplace, my daughter has contacts, so
we always, even at school, like always.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Pack a backup. You didn't even think about it, now
you know, I now know. I found him.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Sure, are you too cool for one of those straps
nice to wear?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I actually own one of those scraps. I own one
of those scraps. I used to have a jet ski,
so he had a strap. He wears a fanny pack.
He'll wear the glasses. He doesn't care. I just didn't
think about it. We're just there and I was like, oh,
the ocean, Okay, let's go, let's go have fun, splash
away immediately.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Saving up today, by the time you go on your
next international vacation, perhaps you'll have enough money to buy
a backup pair of glasses at a gazillion dollars.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Yeah, don't you have like a health savings account.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
No I did.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
I used it. I used it under my glasses, So
that's it. Okay, Well, next year maybe I can go
to the doctor. Great insurance. Cool, Louise Right.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I would like to take time out to say thank
you to the only members of the show that matter.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed your
time off.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You guys were missed.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And we collectively as an audience missed you. Thank you
for all the crap you guys deal with the most
people overlook or take for granted. Well, thank you, Luis.
I was sort of I didn't take any crap. I
was out of the loop. I haven't checked news, I
haven't read email. I really haven't done anything while we
(08:15):
were on vacation. Jeremy Rights, you were over welcome back.
Hope you all enjoyed your time off. I wanted to
share a video of Naples, Italy and the New Year's
Eve fireworks celebration. This went on for an hour and
a half. We got to watch from our roof. Italians
definitely love fireworks and cigarettes. Let's see do we have
(08:38):
this here? Oh all right, this is drone video here. Jeezus,
A mighty well it's the whole city. Yeah, yeah, they're
going crazy. I guess they're all just lighting them off
from their backyards. It looks like Venezuela. Wow, that was
a lot of a lot of fireworks. Yeah, I missed.
(09:01):
I missed any New Year's Eve fireworks.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
I I we flew back from I'm sure we'll get
into all of our details and everything, but we flew
back from where was it from, from Fallbard, Norway, the
little island, back to London, and then they had they
(09:24):
had fireworks in London.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
My sister in law told my wife, Oh, you guys
need to go see the fireworks. It's it's it's not
far from you. I go, I don't want to go out.
It's midnight. You know, I'm getting old. It's New Year's
And then I could hear the fireworks. I turned on
the TV. I could I could. I could hear the
fireworks right down the street. But we didn't actually see
any of the fireworks. But they were pretty impressive from
(09:49):
what I could tell. And the weird thing is, I
was sort of expecting that in England they would have
the equivalent of I don't know, Seacrest Anderson Cooper, somebody
doing these New Year's Eve shows, and my god, they
had the worst New Year's Eve shows I've ever seen
(10:11):
in my entire life. It was just old people playing
music behind a piano. It was terrible, absolutely terrible. But
next year see what is Angela rides?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Hi? Guys?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I watched the Friday Leftovers from twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It was great seeing everyone together.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
A few hilarious topics where Dougie yelling at Rover about
how terrible Rover will look in ten years.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Video of Charlie's prom was played.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Jeffrey still hardly participates in conversations.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That gets scolded by Dougie.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And a video of a guy that goes to Walmart
and rides the scooter. He gets an itchy back and
finds the scooter infested with bedbugs. Jeffreys asked what he
would do if he ended up getting bed bugs. It
really made my day to watch shows from ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Can't wait to hear how your holiday went?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Lots of love, Oh we're still at it, and Dougie
will still Now how do I look ten years later?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Doujee?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You were saying how horrible apparently in this episode, how horrible.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I would look? Yeah? How I look ten years later.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Very blotchy. Hay M Harry the same Eric writes, you'll rovere.
I hope you and the crew had a wonderful holiday vacation.
I certainly did not.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
The day after Christmas, I was attacked at work and
beaten up pretty bad. I didn't have to go to
the hospital, but let's just say I still have some bruises.
As to why I was attacked, I was working in
the back of a grocery store and I pushed a
cart out of the way.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
The cart I pushed belonged to another worker.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
He didn't like the way I pushed his cart, and
he started threatening me. I tried to ignore him at
the moment I tried getting back to work, he got
in my face and just started hitting me in the
face and head. Nobody else was in the back at
the time, and he didn't stop until I was bloody.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
See photos attached.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
If Fujie can actually get that right, Let's see did
she get the photos?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
There he is got a bloody lip here and a
black eye too. Jesus Christ beat up by a coworker.
Let's see what is I already began pressing charges against
the maniac and apparently this isn't the first time he's
(12:36):
done something like this. Moral of the story is be
careful who you work around. You never know who's crazy
and who's not. Jeffrey, have you ever felt the urge
to assault one of your coworkers.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Many years ago working on this show. There's a particular
person I felt. I felt, I felt like I wanted
to for some of crappies did to me. I felt
like knocking his teeth down, his threat, stick a toothbrush
up his ass, to brush him.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Okay, let's see, here's somebody that writes Rebecca Rover.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
We're asking.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
This is one of those emails where I'm not entirely
sure of how the starts.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I'll just say it plainly.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We're asking if you would consider officiating our wedding, Yes,
that wedding with vows and witnesses and a crowd that
will absolutely not believe this is real. My fiance has
mentioned this idea recently. He's been listening to you long
before I met him, back in twenty nineteen. In fact,
the first time I ever slept over at his house.
(13:45):
We were about to fall asleep when he suddenly grabbed
his phone and I was introduced to a very nasally
voice discussing something that I think involved bodily fluids and
questionable life choices. I remember thinking, what the hell is this?
That was my introduction to Rover This Morning Glory. Over time,
I learned to love what I affectionately referred to as
(14:06):
Kevin's favorite podcast, even after being repeatedly corrected that this is,
in fact not a podcast. For the past seven years,
I've fallen asleep nearly every night listening to you. I
wish I could unknow the word shart effect, Dougie's unwavering
(14:26):
obsession of you and B two, Dougie, Jeffrey, Charlie, diet
or Dumb, the parade of callers and chaos.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's been there for late night.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
So I'm asking if you would consider being part of
the one of the biggest moments of our lives. Well,
you'd have to send me the info.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I am not officially licensed to officiate, but I would
say there is somebody on the show who loves going
to fan weddings, and that is mister Laroque. Would you
be in the market to fiate a wedding if I
got you ordained via the internet or something.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I've only been to, like in the all of the
fifteen going on now sixteen years i've been on this show,
I've only been to one.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Fan wedding, and make this the second one. I prefer not.
I wasn't going to make a habit out of it, Charlie.
Why he didn't have fun at the first one?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I had fun, Yeah, but it wasn't going to make
a habit out of it.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
By the way, I don't think that's true that he's
only been to one wedding.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's probably one or two years. No, I'm talking about.
I'm talking about a wedding that was I was in.
I was actually invited to by a fan of the show.
Other weddings I've been to were one by you know
what I am.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted Snitzer.
The only six or seven weddings I've been to in
my in my life besides my own, was weddings from
in my wife's family, my wife's cousins and what I
got gone to a couple of their weddings over the
course of the time I get married.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So let's see. iHeartRadio. Jeff Rights Rover.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You routinely boast about not adding commercial time to your show.
I listened routinely to podcasts, and I can tell you
over the last few years, iHeartRadio has added many minutes
of commercials. Last week I was listening to the commercial
break was twelve minutes long.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
iHeart does the.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Same to Bob Lonsberry and Rochester during his show, there's
twelve minutes of talking the rest of his commercials.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Fix this word drowning and ads out here stay high rated.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I Heart radio hater, Jeff, Yeah, now that I don't
have any control over what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
So on the podcast, you mean on the show, it's
always the same.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But the podcast show has always been the same for
twenty three years, have not added any commercials, the same
amount of commercials that we played twenty three years ago. Now,
some people will get confused because if we go on
and on and on, maybe we'll go an hour without
a break.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Then I have to catch up, and then they're like,
you take.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
A commercial break every fifteen minutes. Well, I got to
get him in before the end of the show. But
during the podcast, I don't know what they do. They
can put as many in there as they want. I
suppose can't you skip through those? Well I don't know.
I know I can, and all depends on what you're using.
(17:33):
I guess. Let's see here, here's somebody who writes, what
is this so on? I think it got cut off
at the beginning of the email, you see, Andy writes
you're over the last couple of weeks, everyone's been sick
(17:55):
around the house and trying to avoid getting sick. I've
been sleeping on the lower level of the couch. One
night on the couch one night, I woke up at
two in the morning hearing some scratching sounds on the
ledge behind me. We get mice in the house once
in a while, and even though I found it odd,
they were.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
On the lower level.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I kept trying to sleep because I had to be
up at four am for work. I kept waking up
every hour hearing this thing scurry around. Finally I leapt up,
turned on the light, scour the area, and I that
I just heard it in And after finding nothing, I
look up and see this picture is included.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
What is that a squirrel? Oh? There it is yep?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Is that a baby squirrel?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yeah, it's weird. It's a weird looking squirrel. I mean
it's just a shadow there under his flying that flying squirrel.
That's a flying squirrel. That face is different, yeah, sinchilla, Yeah,
sound like that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You get somebody's pet, a sugar glider, Yes, yeah, that's yeah, Yeah,
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I started thinking, what the hell do I even do
with this thing? It's a huge rat on the window blind.
I grabbed two rat traps, put it on either side
of the window on the legend, plan to shoot it
with our saltd one to.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Flush it out.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
While setting this trap, I get close enough to take
this picture and I immediately chat GPT what is this
and it says that's a flying squirrel challenging chet GPT.
I asked in Minnesota and apparently as flying squirrels live
in Minnesota. Long story short, I went to work, even
though my wife that is probably listening right now, begged
me not to. I'd barricaded her and the kids in
(19:29):
the bedroom while I was gone. I got a live
trap on the way home. We caught him that night
and I released the little guy with no harm. I
have live trap many animals for relocation. I don't know
if this is normal for flying squirrels, but this thing
was super chill at all times.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Maybe it is a pet.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Is that is that possible that that could be somebody's
pet that got out of their house, And then.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
That's what I would think. I didn't know if flying
squirrels were hanging out in the winter. And where do
you say? Minnesota? Minnesota? Yeah, I've never seen something like
that before. Oh well, if chap GPT is actually right.
I went around with chat GPT about a week ago
where I had a piece of networking equipment that was
(20:13):
doing something weird and it has two hard drives built
into it, and I one of the hard drives isn't working,
and I was asking chat gpt what I could do
to fix it, and then chatgypt it's going to do this,
do that, nothing works. And then finally it goes, oh,
(20:35):
you know what, you have an incompatible firmware. There's a
known bug in this version of the firmware, and you
are going to have to downgrade.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Your firmware in order to fix this.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
So then I'm trying to figure out how I downgrade
the firmware. It's telling me go to hit the downgrade button.
There is no downgrade button. Then I got to thinking,
is there really I said, can you cite the soret
that this is a known, identified, documented bug in this system?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
And it responds, now that you point that out, there is.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
No documentation on this, so it essentially made up the
entire thing, just completely made it up.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Lied.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Uh, and it but it's also and it goes, oh,
you're right if I'm looking at this and you're like,
you're the one who looked at it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Uh call nice catch.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
It will say stream too much to be like a
human where it doesn't want to admit that it doesn't know.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, I also don't like the language that it escentually now,
like I could go back and read you this chat
and it would be like, after after trying like ten
things to fix it, it's like, Okay, I finally figured
it out this time. Just fact, no guesses, like why
why are you talking like that?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I just used it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I just used my Luxo over to Alexa plus because
we get free with prime whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It talks so different. It talks like a like you said,
it's like, so it's too like it's too human. Yeah,
it talks like.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
A teenage girl and I were complaining about it, like
this sucks.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
It's got vocal fry and it talks and just he's
like I just want to turn my lights on, and
it's like, oh cool.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Cool. It was like what have.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Uh r v Mike nun Yah Right you were over
My wife and I were going to be spending the
holidays with her parents in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
This year.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We checked what direct flights we could take to visit
a new country while we were over there, and we
settled on Stavinger, Norway.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We figured it would be super cool, but what we didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Consider when we backed in July was that this would
be an off time for tourists. A lot of stuff
was closed, including the nice Michelin restaurants we were excited
to try. The original hotel we booked later sent us
an email saying they were actually closing due to lack
of reservations.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Despite all that, we had.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
A good time and had to check and got to
check out some cool spots in Norway see the photos.
Hopefully you enjoyed your time in Fallbod And there he
is and wherever.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
This is, Stopvunger.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I've never heard of this before, but it's somewhere in
Norway and it's come out.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's some sort of monument or something there. However, that is.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yes, I did spend time in Norway, and I'll give
you a full review. We will be right back on
Rovery's Morning Glory. Hang on, you'll bet right in with I.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Now back to Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I was just looking at that picture that guy in Norway.
I didn't even realize it the first time. He is
there in Norway as a Rovers Born and Glory zip
Houp hoodie from a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
So he packed that took that.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Good for him, I was And by the way, everyone
got their Rover's Born and Glory hoodies. They twenty twenty
six ones that were sent out, so you obviously should
have gotten that. Of course, if you did order those,
those were sent out before we went on vacation, right
around the same time we went on vacation, So I
hope you enjoy those. Speaking of Norway, so me too.
(24:39):
And I went to Falbard, Norway and kind of what
this guy was saying, I don't know if I guess
it was a low season, of course, but I really
underestimated is twenty four hour darkness thing? Oh yeah, oh yeah,
I really underestimated this. I was under the impression and
(25:02):
I think i've she would show me some pictures. She
showed me pictures after I told her we were going there.
She's like, oh, I follow somebody on YouTube or something,
and I she she's always posting pictures and videos and stuff.
And I see these pictures and I go, oh, look
at this. It's kind of like, you know, it's you
can still see it's it's bright, bright enough, moonlight, so
(25:26):
on and so forth. Now pitch black. The entire time
of that.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
We said pitch twenty because I kept we kept looking
at pictures, and I kept saying as we were looking
at on the air, I said, but you're not going
to see any of this.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It's dark.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
And then we're showing that what it looks like and
it's literally just blackness, nothing to get anything, yp total blackness, and.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Uh it was. It was not much to see.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
In fact, I would also say that the pictures that are.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Being posted where you.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Know, just she showed me something the other night, she goes, look,
this was just post It doesn't look like this at all.
The person and posting the photos must be using like
a very long exposure or something to just soak in
a lot of light and you're like, oh, yeah, you
can see this and you can see that. No, no,
not when you're standing there, you cannot see a thing,
or when you're on a snowmobile and it is literally
(26:16):
negative gazillion degrees now, can't can't see a thing, nothing
to see except the immediate ice ahead of you on
the headlight.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yeah, yeah, just sad, like in a freezer or something.
I mean, what's the difference. What the freezer would have
been warmer than what was there. I'm not kidding you.
It was so cold.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I I should send some I meant to send pictures
to Snitzer. Let me see if I can find some
pictures to send the Snitzer. But yeah, we we got there.
We went to a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We had.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
We ate reindeer, a lot of reindeer on the menu.
It's fall barge yep. And it tastes tastes gamy, tastes
like I'm assuming what a deer would taste like, I
guess I have head deer.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But what's that snets, I got one of the pictures.
Here you goful, I got a visit.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah, look at the mountains there and the ocean and
oh yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
The northern lights. Well that's the whole reason for going there.
Didn't see the northern lights once? Now once, Nope, there's
northern lights.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Just they just decided no, too cloudy, too dark, to
this to that now, not a thing.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And then and then on the flight.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Out as fall Bard, we're a cruising We're about an
hour into the flight, thirty five thousand feet and the uh,
someone from behind me taps me on the shoulder in
the row behind me, and I go, what is this person?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Where are they? What do they want?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I turn around kind of annoyed, and it was a
chick and she goes, oh, look there's the northern lights.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Now.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Why she would tap me on the shoulder and say that.
So then I out the window. I'm all excited.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, you could.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Barely see a little bit of maybe something a little bit.
I took a picture of it with my camera or
with my phone. Looks looks incredible. So all these pictures
you're seeing, do not be fooled. You're not seeing Diddley squad.
And I mean it was really extraordinary. How well the
(28:23):
camera picks up? Did you say the same thing?
Speaker 6 (28:25):
How well the camera I went to Well, because you
could see it here, I don't know what, like two
months ago, if on the edge of Lake Erie, you
just look up and I get there, I'm just not
everybody staring, just going where is it? That's all anybody's
saying to each other. This sucks. And then I took
a picture. Even my picture wasn't that good, but it
does come out a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
With your naked eye, you can't see it's not.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
But I expected in Norway you'd be able to look
up and just see look at it and see it.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
One would sink right here.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I'll send let me see, let me send snitz or
some pictures here of the.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Ilet'll send pick.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
These are the northern lights from the plane window, and
I'll tell you in person they look absolutely nothing like this.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Any regrets for going? Do you wish you wouldn't have
done that?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Well?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
The whole time that we were there, b too kept
saying we should have come here during the summer.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, A, it wouldn't be. It was so goddamn cold.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
That sucks that you're stuck there and she's so right.
Does that suck when you just know that you're wrong?
And I took a picture.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I took a screen grab here and uh, the screen
grab here, here's another one.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I'll send this stance.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I don't know, I should have obviously sent all these
distincer before I. I, uh, will you go back in
the summer, or is this the one and done? I think,
I think once the long ear been.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, I yeah, I well.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
They had Santa's mailbox, which is somewhat outside at the
at the base of some mine that you can see
I guess the mine you can see up on a
mountain if it's light out, I suppose.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
But in winter they have one light up there that
supposedly where Santa lives.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
That's cool, And they have Santa's mailbox, a nice red
lit up mailbox there. The cab driver pointed it out
to us, goes, oh, there's Santa's mailbox. That was the
first night we were there. And then my wife goes, listen,
I we have to take a picture of Santa's mailbox
to send to the neighbors kids. Yes, And I go,
(30:43):
do we really can't we just get that off of
Google images or something?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
She goes, no, we have to go there. So I
love that you're.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
At this place, and because you could just have not
gone at all and just Google images.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It the entire time. True, Yes, everything you do. Yeah,
but it's Santa, Like, how magical is that?
Speaker 5 (31:03):
How do you not have a spirit of Christmas and
want to go see that?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Well, I can tell you why I don't want to
go see that, and sincer can show you my screen
grab of the temperature here and.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
This is this is negative ten degrees.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
That's not in celsius, by the way, that's in fahrenheit
negative ten. You can see the one day there, the
high was negative thirteen. On Wednesday, negative thirteen. Fight would
be the high?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh yeah, no, no on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
The next day, Oh look at I'm sorry, negative thirteen.
The law was negative fifteen. Wow, pretty goddamn called. So
that's why I said, I don't know about walking to
Santa's mailbox. He goes, no, we have to go. I
don't want to. She goes, I don't. I don't want
to go either, But it would be nice to send
this to the to the to the neighbor's kids. So
(31:54):
Santa's mailbox is probably I would say, maybe a quarter
of a mile half mile from where we were staying.
And I go, all right, we bundle up. I mean
we were just just just you could barely walk in
all these clothes that we had. So we walked down
there and we saw Santa's mailbox on whatever it was
(32:17):
Tuesday night or whatever. We get there, Santa's mailbox had
been dismantled by the following morning.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's not up all the time, not up. How to
see it to get mailed if it's not year round.
So then I ask somebody, I go, hey, we get back,
We have to.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
We walk.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
It's negative ten degrees. We walk all the way back.
I'm really angry at this point. I get back to
the hotel. I go, hey, Santa's mailbox. I go, oh, yeah,
they take it down after, you know, like right before
the New year. I go, what what do you mean
you take it down down?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
This is after Christmas? Yes? Yes, oh I thought I
think you went before Christmas. Oh we went right after Christmas.
Oh then yes, of course Santa's gone. He just appe
you have to take that down.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Lives there, and when the kids are gonna mail him,
they what do you what do you mean they take
his mail by? He doesn't get mail.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
On what if somebody sends him something on January fifteenth?
Nispo box?
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Yeah they can email him now. Yeah, no, you got
to now start the year.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Is this what it looks like? I'm looking at pictures
of this thing. It's huge.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Oh it's because the house is that it? No, that
is probably a different one from a different country. No,
it says it says longer German on it. Oh that's
not what it looked like to us when we drove by.
Or is it like a look?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Oh maybe maybe hang on, let me see here, because
there's another one.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I remember it was pitch black, so I can't. I
can't saw a taxi. Here's another one, but it's way smaller.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, I think that was the one.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Oh that sucks, but it was kind of lit up though.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I don't I don't, I don't know. But yeah, the
thing's going on pallever. Okay, that's all that way.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
On a scale of one to ten, how would you
rate that portion of your trip?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Ten being it was awesome?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Uh, you know, everyone was very nice. They were nice
there for the most part. I would say, Yeah, I
don't go in the winter. How about that? Okay, I
go in the summer where you can actually see something.
Maybe it's a completely different experience because going in the
winter twenty four I mean, you would wake up and
(34:27):
we were waking up like at twelve noon. It was
twelve noon and it's pitch black. It's just there's no
difference between I hate that twelve noon at twelve midnight.
It's crazy. And they just live like that for six
months or however long and anyways, So yeah, oh, there's
more to the there's more to the small barred story
that I pictures. Oh yes, yes, okay, here this is
(34:51):
what the northern lights look like from a plane.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yeah, except you don't actually see any of that.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
That looks beautiful, well doesn't it. That looks really neat.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
But that's not that's just what I saw on my
camera after I took a picture of what as a
very teeny tiny, like little I mean, you could barely
even make it out. It was nothing, so didn't look
like that in real life.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Dog, Where did you go? Did you do anything? I
did nothing. I stayed in town.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
I did a bunch of work for donuts, and then
I put the truck to bed and now she's in
storage and that's it. I didn't do I just worked
a lot the end of the year, so I really
didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Wow, that sounds exciting.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
I mean I wanted to declutter my house more than
I did.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I just stayed put and I worked.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
So did you did you think you were going to
declutter and then you just didn't do it?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I did some I did.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
I mean I probably did like six bags of trash
just throw stuff out, but I have like twenty more.
I need one of those places that you know you
just say, can you take this for me?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
One of those dumpsters dropped off of your house. Somebody
to take it.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Out of the house, out of the house in your
house and take it off of your shelf for you?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Or do you just pick up bags? No, I want
them to take it out.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
If I say, see this this big toy truck, do you.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Take that out?
Speaker 6 (36:35):
I don't know if something like that exists. They need
like a maid. You have to just hire a person
just staying around and point at things.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Or if you if you got married, your husband a boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Yes, I need a husband to do that, but I
have a lot of stuff I.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Want to throw out.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Penelope says, you pulled a JLR and you went to
Santa's mailbox and it was closed.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You did Oh that was another thing.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Oh we almost fallbard almost got made divorce. I'm not
even kidding, because there's some things that happened there that
she was not too happy about. One of them was
the more minor of them, was we get there the
first night, we go out to dinner.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
We eat rain deer. We also ate seal, which.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
She had imagining a lot of smelly sea creatures there.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Well, I'm like, oh, that's kind of sad. I like seals,
they're cute, but I ate seal. They just brought it
to you. There was like a five course meal or something,
and they go, oh, here's some seal and soup. We
had whale carpaccio, and also shrimp heads that they well
(37:49):
they were shrimp, but they were baked so you could
eat the whole head was just the opposite jubber. There's
no for the tails. Ah And what else did they have?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Oh? Oh, man, I do not recommend a lot of
these things.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
But one of them is they made some sort of
bread and they like, oh, we don't have any wildlife,
very few wildlife.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
There's like one bird.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
We have on smallbard, and so we use every part
of it. We made this butter out of the crushed
up bone bird or bird bone rather, and it just
crushed up bones. My wife tries it, she's like, oh,
you got to try this. It's really bad. She's like sand.
And I go, I can't be that bad. And I
(38:36):
try it, and it was it was like sand. It
was just ground up bones. It was disgusting. Anyway, So
the next day we go and we walked to the
town and it's small, little it's a small little village
kind of thing. And we get there and it was
I think a Sunday or something, and.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Everything was everything was closed until four.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
We got there at two thirty and they're like, and
she's like, why didn't we plan this way? We're just
standing around waiting for stuff to open up. Apparently they
open up at four pm or three pm on a
Sunday or something.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
They're open for two hours. Anyway, So we get there.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
After we we get to the little village, go okay,
seen this after about twenty minutes, and I said, there's
a a brewery that is the world's most northern brewery
and we can go there and drink some of their
beer and that'll be fun. So we get in a
taxi and the taxis, by the way, are super expensive there,
(39:38):
so if you want to take a five or seven
minute ride. It's going to cost you like fifty bucks.
It's insane. And so we take a taxi to the
to the brewery, which is a little bit out of town.
It's about a six minute five or six minute six
(39:59):
minute drive, I guess. And we pull into the parking
lot and I see the door there and it goes
entrance around the side, and then B two says before
we get out, shouldn't you just are you sure they're open?
I go, of course they're open. It's like five o'clock. Yeah,
they're open, and uh, we go the cab. The taxi
(40:23):
cab left. We go around the corner, closed doors locked.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Now we're stuck out there beside who back.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
We had to walk back because she's like, call the
cab back, and I'm like, I was sort of embarrassed,
like I can't.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I can't, Like I just got dropped off. First of all,
shame on the cab driver.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
He probably should have been like, you know, hey, this
place is closed, because he knows there's only like three businesses.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Yeah, this one's closed.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
So I just I didn't want to call the cab back,
so we had to walk. It took us about an
hour to walk back and she was very, very very
angry with me over that. And it was pretty good.
Damn cold again, Jeffrey, What did you do you go anywhere?
Speaker 1 (41:07):
No, not really I did.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
I did have the opportunity to spend time with my
dad and we visited him right Christmas Eve and we
took the kids down to downtown.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
To see the lights. I got a couple of pictures.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
We also had the opportunity to see my brother Jason
was in town all between the holidays, and we had dinner.
It was me, my both of my brothers, and my dad. Yeah,
which was very nice. And we put something on the
baby's grave. We visited my mom's grave and oh that
I just pretty much just chilled out the I got
a couple of got my first song and Studd's.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
In for the year. No, yeah, where was that?
Speaker 4 (41:43):
It was a little place getting a little place called
the Pink Flamingo.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
You did that before New Year's out here in New.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Year's Eve with a few friends and one to the
go have a drink, you know, because you don't drink
at home.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
And then went back home.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Saw the ball drop kiss the wife Year's Eve. You
know when the when the ball dropped, so that was good.
So I just I just didn't do just I just
didn't do a whole lot like traveling. So that's all
I'll be about.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Charlie.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
It sounds like you went on a trip. We'll hear
about that in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Snitch. Did you go on a trip?
Speaker 3 (42:18):
You want to talk about that in a few minutes,
or or did you stay here?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
I went okay on your area.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Yeah, Crystal, you travel or you stick around?
Speaker 1 (42:28):
I stuck around. I'm just went around here.
Speaker 8 (42:30):
I went to a Cavs game, which was great with Skinny,
so much fun. The next morning, two days before Christmas,
I have no heat.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
In my house. Oh no, So.
Speaker 8 (42:42):
I start emailing frantically to find out do we know anybody?
Can I get somebody here pretty much immediately because Christmas
Eve then Christmas. Those prices if you call them on Christmas,
I don't want to pay that after five pm outrageous.
So I need to get somebody here, kay of immediately,
because two, I'm not going to be around. I'm gonna
(43:03):
go down to Skinny's house. I won't be around. There'll
be no heat. It's been nineteen degrees. I was kind
of worried about any kind of pipes freezing. He was
a little upset with me though, because I went with
the first person that came and told me what was wrong.
I said, all right, let's fix it, pay for it.
And he was like, you didn't get a second opinion.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
That there's no time. The holiday is here, the New
Year's is right after that. I mean, there's just no time.
Speaker 8 (43:30):
I'd rather just somebody fix it and get it done with.
And they actually the turnaround was amazing. They came back
I think the next day and installed the part. Everything
was great. Got a new obsession with stickers, these sticker scenes.
I need to get off TikTok, back on Minecraft and hungout.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Wait, I'm a child. I just want you guys an
analysis stickers. So you're just putting stickers on things.
Speaker 8 (43:57):
Yeah, they're actually quite literally a scene. So maybe it's
a museum and then it comes with one hundred stickers
and you have to place them. They give you a
little a picture of what it's supposed to look like.
It's kind of like a puzzle, and then you just
sit there and put these stickers on and just decorate it. Basically,
that's it. It takes me an hour to two hours
(44:20):
to do.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
You know you should do with those hour and two hours,
you should research how do I fix my own heat?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
That is, that's that's.
Speaker 8 (44:26):
What I should be investing my time into. And I
have been minecrafting for hours upon hours on it.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
I mean, it's just been ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
So I'm absolutely glad to be back at work.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Okay, a productive person.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
Yeah, I too have dealt with an issue with my
heat as well over the last over the course of
the last weekend, my heat now on my apartment because
my apartment buildings were built in nineteen twenty, so they
have these old radiators, so the so they have so
they instead of a furnace off to cast fired boiler.
The boiler in my place has to be replaced now.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
So I called. I called my landlord and said, hey,
look we have no heat. What's going on.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
He said, well, you call this heating coming, they'll come
out take a look at it. So they come out,
and he came out, replaced one part and then we
had heat for a few days, and then.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
It went again.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
And then the guy had to call the guy back
over and he showed me what happened. He says, no,
and Ultimately, I learned over the weekend the boiler itself
has to the entire boiler has to be replaced. So
my landlord went in and approved it, and he's coming
out this morning to take care of that. So you
don't have heat right now, we have space heaters. Who
(45:36):
pays the electric? There, Charlie, you're you're missing my point.
It's a guest fired boiler. The space heaters are electric, right, electric?
I paid the electric, so I get. I had to
get some get I had to get a space heater yet,
one of those three sixties, three hundred and sixty degree
space heaters. And how long has this been out over
(45:57):
the weekend?
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Oh? Just the weekend? Okay, it's just the weekend. So
he's coming out this morning to put that new boiler in.
Oh nice, All right.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
That's a pretty fast turnaround too. And you don't have
to pay anything for that, right Mike, or hand take
care of that?
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Gotcha? I was it boiler only handling your unit? Or
just that handle it? Okay? In my building, there's four apartments,
so each one has its own boiler. Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
I was told that the the boilers and the other
three apartments were already replaced oars those last ones who
had been replaced, and he never got I guess he
never got around to it. And yeah, he my landlord
hit the bullet and said, okay, you guys, he's gotta
get me because that's part of the lease. So it's
pretty fast around. So he's being that boiler's being installed today. Okay,
Oh yeah, it was my motor that went. The motor
(46:44):
had gone for a couple of weeks. I was hearing
a very high pitched whistling when it would kind of
start up, and I was like, Ah, it's probably.
Speaker 8 (46:52):
Something stuck in the vent. Let's just hope it's something
stuck in the vent. And then when I woke up
and it was fifty degrees in the house, I was like,
there's something wrong here. So we just did the same thing.
Hooked up a ton of space heaters in the rooms
that we were in and just to keep those warm,
and I threw a ton of blankets on my daughter.
I was like, just stay under the covers, just stay there.
Speaker 3 (47:11):
Jeffrey was also apparently on X during our vacation, and
you can see that he commented here, I believe that
Snitzer has it there. It is porn star Lisa and
posted a picture of herself and Jeffrey Laroque said looking
good and feeling fancy at the same time.
Speaker 1 (47:34):
Kissy face, hard eyes.
Speaker 4 (47:36):
Why not?
Speaker 5 (47:37):
Why is the word feeling capitalized?
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Donald Trump?
Speaker 3 (47:43):
Basically, we just capitalized random words for some reason, though
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (47:47):
I've got to take a break.
Speaker 3 (47:48):
The shizzy, first Shizzy of twenty twenty six is coming

I'll get to your email here in just a moment.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
I I'm sure we have a lot to catch up on.
It has been what is it three almost a month
that we have not been on the air, so I
think there our last day I think was December tenth
or something, what is it January fifth?
Speaker 1 (02:15):
So almost a month now.
Speaker 3 (02:18):
They always say when you know, like people who win
the lottery, they say, oh, I would still continue to work. Yeah, yeah,
after this month, I go, Man, if I had unlimited money,
but you could, you could just never work again.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
No.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Actually, I'm I'm thrilled to be back. I missed all
of you, especially Dougie. I get along with her so well.
And chocolate. Charlie, you're looking quite dapper with this with
these glasses and hair there. Now, I do notice a
change from twenty twenty five Charlie to twenty twenty six, Charlie.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
What's that?
Speaker 3 (02:57):
Well, these glasses look a little more or well, first
of all, they're teeny tiny and they are They're kind
of like Jeffrey Dahmer glass the way I see him.
But if Jeffrey Dahmer were like shrunk and head perhaps
as a kid. Yeah, what's going on here?
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Uh?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
Uh?
Speaker 6 (03:19):
We went we went out of uh, out of the
country for a for like four days, went to Punta Khana. Uh,
and I went walked into the ocean and I got
hit in the face with a wave and my glasses.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Immediately fall off. Oh no, and then.
Speaker 6 (03:33):
I couldn't see the rest of the vacation. I just
couldn't see anything. It was just everything was blurry.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Uh.
Speaker 6 (03:38):
So these are my backup glasses that I had at
home waiting for me my actual new glass.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
Case of emergency, you had to back up ones at
home over So.
Speaker 6 (03:49):
I went and I went to the eye doctor, and
I was like, oh, you know, what is it an hour?
I thought for some reason, I was like, you know,
you get your glasses back in an hour.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
It's two weeks.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Two weeks and there hundreds of dollars, hundreds of dollars.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Do you have the vision insurance for the use it
go ahead?
Speaker 3 (04:08):
That that cuts down the first four hundred dollars of
the glasses or whatever. I can't believe how much glasses cost.
I guess they haven't bought any getting Gucci glasses or
something or what's going on. No, I don't remember what
they are.
Speaker 6 (04:21):
I don't think they're Gucci, But at the glasses store,
that's a lot of the brands, they're just weird.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
You're like, Polo makes glasses. I didn't know that. What
is the point? Why ralf Loranz? He'res like, what is
what is this?
Speaker 6 (04:35):
The only glasses brand at the glasses store is ray
Band that I could think of, and it's all other
just luxury brands.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I guess. I don't know.
Speaker 6 (04:42):
I don't know, so I don't remember what I got.
Speaker 1 (04:46):
So now I just have to have to look. I've
been looking stupid for two or three weeks now.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Jeffrey could have taken you to Lens Crafters.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
You could have had these turned around in an hour.
I don't think it is an hour. No, it's not
an hour anymore. It's Miamish.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Besides, Lens Craptors doesn't take my particular insurance.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I go to a I go to establishment in Lakewood.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
As a matter of fact, speaking of glasses, I'm due
for not I have my eye exam schedule for later
this month.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
All right, Well did you did you swim around in
the ocean trying to find these things for like five
minutes thinking that maybe they would hit you in the
leg or something.
Speaker 7 (05:23):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (05:24):
No, I where I was, and I was so stupid.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
I was walking in the ocean and I go yeah,
and that said, maybe even out loud to myself, you
everr glasses on, and I was like, it'll be fine.
I'm just gonna I'm not gonna get hit in the
face or anything, and I'll be I'll be fine. And
then wave just hits me right in the face and
immediately I look down and it's just like white foam,
you know, and just mud but kind of not mud,
but it's just like sand and foam down and I
(05:50):
look down and just gone. There's just gone to me immediately,
and I'm like, there's no even looking. There's just no
looking for him. The wave immediately just sucked him back
into the sea. So once you know they're gone, they're
just gone. I'm just standing there and I can't see
for some time day one or day two, day two,
I think, and then the rest of the time I
just can't see. And I was there with some people
(06:12):
I know, but I couldn't think.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
It were it might have been a different route. You're
not sure.
Speaker 6 (06:16):
I really couldn't well what was happening because we're at
this resort and we're like wandering around and I see
people I think we're there with but I can't. I
don't want to wave to them because half the time
I'm wrong of who I'm looking at. I didn't realize
how bad my vision was, so I couldn't read anything.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Just it just it was awful. It's terrible. And there's
no I didn't I didn't fly with him.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
So whenever we go someplace, my daughter has contacts, so
we always, even at school, like always.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Pack a backup. You didn't even think about it, now
you know, I now know. I found him.
Speaker 8 (06:54):
Sure, are you too cool for one of those straps
nice to wear?
Speaker 6 (07:01):
I actually own one of those scraps. I own one
of those scraps. I used to have a jet ski,
so he had a strap. He wears a fanny pack.
He'll wear the glasses. He doesn't care. I just didn't
think about it. We're just there and I was like, oh,
the ocean, Okay, let's go, let's go have fun, splash
away immediately.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Saving up today, by the time you go on your
next international vacation, perhaps you'll have enough money to buy
a backup pair of glasses at a gazillion dollars.
Speaker 5 (07:29):
Yeah, don't you have like a health savings account.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
No I did.
Speaker 6 (07:32):
I used it. I used it under my glasses, So
that's it. Okay, Well, next year maybe I can go
to the doctor. Great insurance. Cool, Louise Right.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
I would like to take time out to say thank
you to the only members of the show that matter.
I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed your
time off.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
You guys were missed.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
And we collectively as an audience missed you. Thank you
for all the crap you guys deal with the most
people overlook or take for granted. Well, thank you, Luis.
I was sort of I didn't take any crap. I
was out of the loop. I haven't checked news, I
haven't read email. I really haven't done anything while we
(08:15):
were on vacation. Jeremy Rights, you were over welcome back.
Hope you all enjoyed your time off. I wanted to
share a video of Naples, Italy and the New Year's
Eve fireworks celebration. This went on for an hour and
a half. We got to watch from our roof. Italians
definitely love fireworks and cigarettes. Let's see do we have
(08:38):
this here? Oh all right, this is drone video here. Jeezus,
A mighty well it's the whole city. Yeah, yeah, they're
going crazy. I guess they're all just lighting them off
from their backyards. It looks like Venezuela. Wow, that was
a lot of a lot of fireworks. Yeah, I missed.
(09:01):
I missed any New Year's Eve fireworks.
Speaker 7 (09:03):
I I we flew back from I'm sure we'll get
into all of our details and everything, but we flew
back from where was it from, from Fallbard, Norway, the
little island, back to London, and then they had they
(09:24):
had fireworks in London.
Speaker 1 (09:26):
And.
Speaker 3 (09:28):
My sister in law told my wife, Oh, you guys
need to go see the fireworks. It's it's it's not
far from you. I go, I don't want to go out.
It's midnight. You know, I'm getting old. It's New Year's
And then I could hear the fireworks. I turned on
the TV. I could I could. I could hear the
fireworks right down the street. But we didn't actually see
any of the fireworks. But they were pretty impressive from
(09:49):
what I could tell. And the weird thing is, I
was sort of expecting that in England they would have
the equivalent of I don't know, Seacrest Anderson Cooper, somebody
doing these New Year's Eve shows, and my god, they
had the worst New Year's Eve shows I've ever seen
(10:11):
in my entire life. It was just old people playing
music behind a piano. It was terrible, absolutely terrible. But
next year see what is Angela rides?
Speaker 1 (10:26):
Hi? Guys?
Speaker 3 (10:27):
I watched the Friday Leftovers from twenty sixteen.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
It was great seeing everyone together.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
A few hilarious topics where Dougie yelling at Rover about
how terrible Rover will look in ten years.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
Video of Charlie's prom was played.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Jeffrey still hardly participates in conversations.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
That gets scolded by Dougie.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
And a video of a guy that goes to Walmart
and rides the scooter. He gets an itchy back and
finds the scooter infested with bedbugs. Jeffreys asked what he
would do if he ended up getting bed bugs. It
really made my day to watch shows from ten years ago.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Can't wait to hear how your holiday went?
Speaker 3 (11:04):
Lots of love, Oh we're still at it, and Dougie
will still Now how do I look ten years later?
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Doujee?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
You were saying how horrible apparently in this episode, how horrible.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
I would look? Yeah? How I look ten years later.
Speaker 9 (11:18):
Very blotchy. Hay M Harry the same Eric writes, you'll rovere.
I hope you and the crew had a wonderful holiday vacation.
I certainly did not.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
The day after Christmas, I was attacked at work and
beaten up pretty bad. I didn't have to go to
the hospital, but let's just say I still have some bruises.
As to why I was attacked, I was working in
the back of a grocery store and I pushed a
cart out of the way.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
The cart I pushed belonged to another worker.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
He didn't like the way I pushed his cart, and
he started threatening me. I tried to ignore him at
the moment I tried getting back to work, he got
in my face and just started hitting me in the
face and head. Nobody else was in the back at
the time, and he didn't stop until I was bloody.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
See photos attached.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
If Fujie can actually get that right, Let's see did
she get the photos?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Ah?
Speaker 3 (12:15):
There he is got a bloody lip here and a
black eye too. Jesus Christ beat up by a coworker.
Let's see what is I already began pressing charges against
the maniac and apparently this isn't the first time he's
(12:36):
done something like this. Moral of the story is be
careful who you work around. You never know who's crazy
and who's not. Jeffrey, have you ever felt the urge
to assault one of your coworkers.
Speaker 4 (12:54):
Many years ago working on this show. There's a particular
person I felt. I felt, I felt like I wanted
to for some of crappies did to me. I felt
like knocking his teeth down, his threat, stick a toothbrush
up his ass, to brush him.
Speaker 3 (13:10):
Okay, let's see, here's somebody that writes Rebecca Rover.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
We're asking.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
This is one of those emails where I'm not entirely
sure of how the starts.
Speaker 1 (13:23):
I'll just say it plainly.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
We're asking if you would consider officiating our wedding, Yes,
that wedding with vows and witnesses and a crowd that
will absolutely not believe this is real. My fiance has
mentioned this idea recently. He's been listening to you long
before I met him, back in twenty nineteen. In fact,
the first time I ever slept over at his house.
(13:45):
We were about to fall asleep when he suddenly grabbed
his phone and I was introduced to a very nasally
voice discussing something that I think involved bodily fluids and
questionable life choices. I remember thinking, what the hell is this?
That was my introduction to Rover This Morning Glory. Over time,
I learned to love what I affectionately referred to as
(14:06):
Kevin's favorite podcast, even after being repeatedly corrected that this is,
in fact not a podcast. For the past seven years,
I've fallen asleep nearly every night listening to you. I
wish I could unknow the word shart effect, Dougie's unwavering
(14:26):
obsession of you and B two, Dougie, Jeffrey, Charlie, diet
or Dumb, the parade of callers and chaos.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
It's been there for late night.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
So I'm asking if you would consider being part of
the one of the biggest moments of our lives. Well,
you'd have to send me the info.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I am not officially licensed to officiate, but I would
say there is somebody on the show who loves going
to fan weddings, and that is mister Laroque. Would you
be in the market to fiate a wedding if I
got you ordained via the internet or something.
Speaker 4 (15:05):
I've only been to, like in the all of the
fifteen going on now sixteen years i've been on this show,
I've only been to one.
Speaker 1 (15:15):
Fan wedding, and make this the second one. I prefer not.
I wasn't going to make a habit out of it, Charlie.
Why he didn't have fun at the first one?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
I had fun, Yeah, but it wasn't going to make
a habit out of it.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
By the way, I don't think that's true that he's
only been to one wedding.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
It's probably one or two years. No, I'm talking about.
I'm talking about a wedding that was I was in.
I was actually invited to by a fan of the show.
Other weddings I've been to were one by you know
what I am.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
As I was saying before I was rudely interrupted Snitzer.
The only six or seven weddings I've been to in
my in my life besides my own, was weddings from
in my wife's family, my wife's cousins and what I
got gone to a couple of their weddings over the
course of the time I get married.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
So let's see. iHeartRadio. Jeff Rights Rover.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
You routinely boast about not adding commercial time to your show.
I listened routinely to podcasts, and I can tell you
over the last few years, iHeartRadio has added many minutes
of commercials. Last week I was listening to the commercial
break was twelve minutes long.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
iHeart does the.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
Same to Bob Lonsberry and Rochester during his show, there's
twelve minutes of talking the rest of his commercials.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Fix this word drowning and ads out here stay high rated.
Speaker 3 (16:43):
I Heart radio hater, Jeff, Yeah, now that I don't
have any control over what they're doing.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
So on the podcast, you mean on the show, it's
always the same.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
But the podcast show has always been the same for
twenty three years, have not added any commercials, the same
amount of commercials that we played twenty three years ago. Now,
some people will get confused because if we go on
and on and on, maybe we'll go an hour without
a break.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
Then I have to catch up, and then they're like,
you take.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
A commercial break every fifteen minutes. Well, I got to
get him in before the end of the show. But
during the podcast, I don't know what they do. They
can put as many in there as they want. I
suppose can't you skip through those? Well I don't know.
I know I can, and all depends on what you're using.
(17:33):
I guess. Let's see here, here's somebody who writes, what
is this so on? I think it got cut off
at the beginning of the email, you see, Andy writes
you're over the last couple of weeks, everyone's been sick
(17:55):
around the house and trying to avoid getting sick. I've
been sleeping on the lower level of the couch. One
night on the couch one night, I woke up at
two in the morning hearing some scratching sounds on the
ledge behind me. We get mice in the house once
in a while, and even though I found it odd,
they were.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
On the lower level.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
I kept trying to sleep because I had to be
up at four am for work. I kept waking up
every hour hearing this thing scurry around. Finally I leapt up,
turned on the light, scour the area, and I that
I just heard it in And after finding nothing, I
look up and see this picture is included.
Speaker 1 (18:29):
What is that a squirrel? Oh? There it is yep?
Speaker 5 (18:33):
Is that a baby squirrel?
Speaker 3 (18:34):
Yeah, it's weird. It's a weird looking squirrel. I mean
it's just a shadow there under his flying that flying squirrel.
That's a flying squirrel. That face is different, yeah, sinchilla, Yeah,
sound like that.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
You get somebody's pet, a sugar glider, Yes, yeah, that's yeah, Yeah,
that's the one.
Speaker 3 (18:55):
I started thinking, what the hell do I even do
with this thing? It's a huge rat on the window blind.
I grabbed two rat traps, put it on either side
of the window on the legend, plan to shoot it
with our saltd one to.
Speaker 1 (19:07):
Flush it out.
Speaker 3 (19:08):
While setting this trap, I get close enough to take
this picture and I immediately chat GPT what is this
and it says that's a flying squirrel challenging chet GPT.
I asked in Minnesota and apparently as flying squirrels live
in Minnesota. Long story short, I went to work, even
though my wife that is probably listening right now, begged
me not to. I'd barricaded her and the kids in
(19:29):
the bedroom while I was gone. I got a live
trap on the way home. We caught him that night
and I released the little guy with no harm. I
have live trap many animals for relocation. I don't know
if this is normal for flying squirrels, but this thing
was super chill at all times.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
Maybe it is a pet.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
Is that is that possible that that could be somebody's
pet that got out of their house, And then.
Speaker 6 (19:50):
That's what I would think. I didn't know if flying
squirrels were hanging out in the winter. And where do
you say? Minnesota? Minnesota? Yeah, I've never seen something like
that before. Oh well, if chap GPT is actually right.
I went around with chat GPT about a week ago
where I had a piece of networking equipment that was
(20:13):
doing something weird and it has two hard drives built
into it, and I one of the hard drives isn't working,
and I was asking chat gpt what I could do
to fix it, and then chatgypt it's going to do this,
do that, nothing works. And then finally it goes, oh,
(20:35):
you know what, you have an incompatible firmware. There's a
known bug in this version of the firmware, and you
are going to have to downgrade.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Your firmware in order to fix this.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
So then I'm trying to figure out how I downgrade
the firmware. It's telling me go to hit the downgrade button.
There is no downgrade button. Then I got to thinking,
is there really I said, can you cite the soret
that this is a known, identified, documented bug in this system?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
And it responds, now that you point that out, there is.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
No documentation on this, so it essentially made up the
entire thing, just completely made it up.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Lied.
Speaker 6 (21:19):
Uh, and it but it's also and it goes, oh,
you're right if I'm looking at this and you're like,
you're the one who looked at it in the first place.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Uh call nice catch.
Speaker 8 (21:31):
It will say stream too much to be like a
human where it doesn't want to admit that it doesn't know.
Speaker 3 (21:38):
Yeah, I also don't like the language that it escentually now,
like I could go back and read you this chat
and it would be like, after after trying like ten
things to fix it, it's like, Okay, I finally figured
it out this time. Just fact, no guesses, like why
why are you talking like that?
Speaker 1 (21:54):
I just used it.
Speaker 3 (21:56):
I just used my Luxo over to Alexa plus because
we get free with prime whatever.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
It talks so different. It talks like a like you said,
it's like, so it's too like it's too human. Yeah,
it talks like.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
A teenage girl and I were complaining about it, like
this sucks.
Speaker 6 (22:11):
It's got vocal fry and it talks and just he's
like I just want to turn my lights on, and
it's like, oh cool.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Cool. It was like what have.
Speaker 3 (22:23):
Uh r v Mike nun Yah Right you were over
My wife and I were going to be spending the
holidays with her parents in Aberdeen, Scotland.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
This year.
Speaker 3 (22:31):
We checked what direct flights we could take to visit
a new country while we were over there, and we
settled on Stavinger, Norway.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
We figured it would be super cool, but what we didn't.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
Consider when we backed in July was that this would
be an off time for tourists. A lot of stuff
was closed, including the nice Michelin restaurants we were excited
to try. The original hotel we booked later sent us
an email saying they were actually closing due to lack
of reservations.
Speaker 1 (22:59):
Despite all that, we had.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
A good time and had to check and got to
check out some cool spots in Norway see the photos.
Hopefully you enjoyed your time in Fallbod And there he
is and wherever.
Speaker 1 (23:12):
This is, Stopvunger.
Speaker 3 (23:14):
I've never heard of this before, but it's somewhere in
Norway and it's come out.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
That's some sort of monument or something there. However, that is.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yes, I did spend time in Norway, and I'll give
you a full review. We will be right back on
Rovery's Morning Glory. Hang on, you'll bet right in with I.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
Now back to Rover's Morning Glory.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I was just looking at that picture that guy in Norway.
I didn't even realize it the first time. He is
there in Norway as a Rovers Born and Glory zip
Houp hoodie from a few years ago.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
So he packed that took that.
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Good for him, I was And by the way, everyone
got their Rover's Born and Glory hoodies. They twenty twenty
six ones that were sent out, so you obviously should
have gotten that. Of course, if you did order those,
those were sent out before we went on vacation, right
around the same time we went on vacation, So I
hope you enjoy those. Speaking of Norway, so me too.
(24:39):
And I went to Falbard, Norway and kind of what
this guy was saying, I don't know if I guess
it was a low season, of course, but I really
underestimated is twenty four hour darkness thing? Oh yeah, oh yeah,
I really underestimated this. I was under the impression and
(25:02):
I think i've she would show me some pictures. She
showed me pictures after I told her we were going there.
She's like, oh, I follow somebody on YouTube or something,
and I she she's always posting pictures and videos and stuff.
And I see these pictures and I go, oh, look
at this. It's kind of like, you know, it's you
can still see it's it's bright, bright enough, moonlight, so
(25:26):
on and so forth. Now pitch black. The entire time
of that.
Speaker 6 (25:29):
We said pitch twenty because I kept we kept looking
at pictures, and I kept saying as we were looking
at on the air, I said, but you're not going
to see any of this.
Speaker 1 (25:36):
It's dark.
Speaker 6 (25:37):
And then we're showing that what it looks like and
it's literally just blackness, nothing to get anything, yp total blackness, and.
Speaker 1 (25:46):
Uh it was. It was not much to see.
Speaker 3 (25:48):
In fact, I would also say that the pictures that are.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
Being posted where you.
Speaker 3 (25:54):
Know, just she showed me something the other night, she goes, look,
this was just post It doesn't look like this at all.
The person and posting the photos must be using like
a very long exposure or something to just soak in
a lot of light and you're like, oh, yeah, you
can see this and you can see that. No, no,
not when you're standing there, you cannot see a thing,
or when you're on a snowmobile and it is literally
(26:16):
negative gazillion degrees now, can't can't see a thing, nothing
to see except the immediate ice ahead of you on
the headlight.
Speaker 6 (26:26):
Yeah, yeah, just sad, like in a freezer or something.
I mean, what's the difference. What the freezer would have
been warmer than what was there. I'm not kidding you.
It was so cold.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
I I should send some I meant to send pictures
to Snitzer. Let me see if I can find some
pictures to send the Snitzer. But yeah, we we got there.
We went to a restaurant.
Speaker 1 (26:49):
We had.
Speaker 3 (26:51):
We ate reindeer, a lot of reindeer on the menu.
It's fall barge yep. And it tastes tastes gamy, tastes
like I'm assuming what a deer would taste like, I
guess I have head deer.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
But what's that snets, I got one of the pictures.
Here you goful, I got a visit.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Yeah, look at the mountains there and the ocean and
oh yeah, it's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
The northern lights. Well that's the whole reason for going there.
Didn't see the northern lights once? Now once, Nope, there's
northern lights.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
Just they just decided no, too cloudy, too dark, to
this to that now, not a thing.
Speaker 1 (27:29):
And then and then on the flight.
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Out as fall Bard, we're a cruising We're about an
hour into the flight, thirty five thousand feet and the uh,
someone from behind me taps me on the shoulder in
the row behind me, and I go, what is this person?
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Where are they? What do they want?
Speaker 3 (27:52):
I turn around kind of annoyed, and it was a
chick and she goes, oh, look there's the northern lights.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Now.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
Why she would tap me on the shoulder and say that.
So then I out the window. I'm all excited.
Speaker 1 (28:02):
Yeah, you could.
Speaker 3 (28:02):
Barely see a little bit of maybe something a little bit.
I took a picture of it with my camera or
with my phone. Looks looks incredible. So all these pictures
you're seeing, do not be fooled. You're not seeing Diddley squad.
And I mean it was really extraordinary. How well the
(28:23):
camera picks up? Did you say the same thing?
Speaker 6 (28:25):
How well the camera I went to Well, because you
could see it here, I don't know what, like two
months ago, if on the edge of Lake Erie, you
just look up and I get there, I'm just not
everybody staring, just going where is it? That's all anybody's
saying to each other. This sucks. And then I took
a picture. Even my picture wasn't that good, but it
does come out a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
With your naked eye, you can't see it's not.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
But I expected in Norway you'd be able to look
up and just see look at it and see it.
Speaker 1 (28:52):
One would sink right here.
Speaker 3 (28:54):
I'll send let me see, let me send snitz or
some pictures here of the.
Speaker 1 (29:00):
Ilet'll send pick.
Speaker 3 (29:01):
These are the northern lights from the plane window, and
I'll tell you in person they look absolutely nothing like this.
Speaker 1 (29:11):
Any regrets for going? Do you wish you wouldn't have
done that?
Speaker 4 (29:14):
Well?
Speaker 3 (29:14):
The whole time that we were there, b too kept
saying we should have come here during the summer.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Yeah, A, it wouldn't be. It was so goddamn cold.
Speaker 6 (29:25):
That sucks that you're stuck there and she's so right.
Does that suck when you just know that you're wrong?
And I took a picture.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
I took a screen grab here and uh, the screen
grab here, here's another one.
Speaker 1 (29:41):
I'll send this stance.
Speaker 3 (29:42):
I don't know, I should have obviously sent all these
distincer before I. I, uh, will you go back in
the summer, or is this the one and done? I think,
I think once the long ear been.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
No, I yeah, I well.
Speaker 3 (30:03):
They had Santa's mailbox, which is somewhat outside at the
at the base of some mine that you can see
I guess the mine you can see up on a
mountain if it's light out, I suppose.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
But in winter they have one light up there that
supposedly where Santa lives.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
That's cool, And they have Santa's mailbox, a nice red
lit up mailbox there. The cab driver pointed it out
to us, goes, oh, there's Santa's mailbox. That was the
first night we were there. And then my wife goes, listen,
I we have to take a picture of Santa's mailbox
to send to the neighbors kids. Yes, And I go,
(30:43):
do we really can't we just get that off of
Google images or something?
Speaker 1 (30:48):
She goes, no, we have to go there. So I
love that you're.
Speaker 6 (30:52):
At this place, and because you could just have not
gone at all and just Google images.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
It the entire time. True, Yes, everything you do. Yeah,
but it's Santa, Like, how magical is that?
Speaker 5 (31:03):
How do you not have a spirit of Christmas and
want to go see that?
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Well, I can tell you why I don't want to
go see that, and sincer can show you my screen
grab of the temperature here and.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
This is this is negative ten degrees.
Speaker 3 (31:17):
That's not in celsius, by the way, that's in fahrenheit
negative ten. You can see the one day there, the
high was negative thirteen. On Wednesday, negative thirteen. Fight would
be the high?
Speaker 1 (31:30):
Oh yeah, no, no on Wednesday.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
The next day, Oh look at I'm sorry, negative thirteen.
The law was negative fifteen. Wow, pretty goddamn called. So
that's why I said, I don't know about walking to
Santa's mailbox. He goes, no, we have to go. I
don't want to. She goes, I don't. I don't want
to go either, But it would be nice to send
this to the to the to the neighbor's kids. So
(31:54):
Santa's mailbox is probably I would say, maybe a quarter
of a mile half mile from where we were staying.
And I go, all right, we bundle up. I mean
we were just just just you could barely walk in
all these clothes that we had. So we walked down
there and we saw Santa's mailbox on whatever it was
(32:17):
Tuesday night or whatever. We get there, Santa's mailbox had
been dismantled by the following morning.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
It's not up all the time, not up. How to
see it to get mailed if it's not year round.
So then I ask somebody, I go, hey, we get back,
We have to.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
We walk.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
It's negative ten degrees. We walk all the way back.
I'm really angry at this point. I get back to
the hotel. I go, hey, Santa's mailbox. I go, oh, yeah,
they take it down after, you know, like right before
the New year. I go, what what do you mean
you take it down down?
Speaker 1 (32:49):
This is after Christmas? Yes? Yes, oh I thought I
think you went before Christmas. Oh we went right after Christmas.
Oh then yes, of course Santa's gone. He just appe
you have to take that down.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
Lives there, and when the kids are gonna mail him,
they what do you what do you mean they take
his mail by? He doesn't get mail.
Speaker 1 (33:07):
On what if somebody sends him something on January fifteenth?
Nispo box?
Speaker 5 (33:11):
Yeah they can email him now. Yeah, no, you got
to now start the year.
Speaker 6 (33:16):
Is this what it looks like? I'm looking at pictures
of this thing. It's huge.
Speaker 3 (33:20):
Oh it's because the house is that it? No, that
is probably a different one from a different country. No,
it says it says longer German on it. Oh that's
not what it looked like to us when we drove by.
Or is it like a look?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
Oh maybe maybe hang on, let me see here, because
there's another one.
Speaker 3 (33:37):
I remember it was pitch black, so I can't. I
can't saw a taxi. Here's another one, but it's way smaller.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Yeah, I think that was the one.
Speaker 3 (33:46):
Oh that sucks, but it was kind of lit up though.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
I don't I don't, I don't know. But yeah, the
thing's going on pallever. Okay, that's all that way.
Speaker 5 (33:57):
On a scale of one to ten, how would you
rate that portion of your trip?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
Ten being it was awesome?
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Uh, you know, everyone was very nice. They were nice
there for the most part. I would say, Yeah, I
don't go in the winter. How about that? Okay, I
go in the summer where you can actually see something.
Maybe it's a completely different experience because going in the
winter twenty four I mean, you would wake up and
(34:27):
we were waking up like at twelve noon. It was
twelve noon and it's pitch black. It's just there's no
difference between I hate that twelve noon at twelve midnight.
It's crazy. And they just live like that for six
months or however long and anyways, So yeah, oh, there's
more to the there's more to the small barred story
that I pictures. Oh yes, yes, okay, here this is
(34:51):
what the northern lights look like from a plane.
Speaker 1 (34:53):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Yeah, except you don't actually see any of that.
Speaker 1 (34:59):
That looks beautiful, well doesn't it. That looks really neat.
Speaker 3 (35:02):
But that's not that's just what I saw on my
camera after I took a picture of what as a
very teeny tiny, like little I mean, you could barely
even make it out. It was nothing, so didn't look
like that in real life.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
Dog, Where did you go? Did you do anything? I
did nothing. I stayed in town.
Speaker 5 (35:29):
I did a bunch of work for donuts, and then
I put the truck to bed and now she's in
storage and that's it. I didn't do I just worked
a lot the end of the year, so I really
didn't do anything.
Speaker 1 (35:46):
Wow, that sounds exciting.
Speaker 5 (35:48):
I mean I wanted to declutter my house more than
I did.
Speaker 1 (35:54):
I just stayed put and I worked.
Speaker 3 (35:56):
So did you did you think you were going to
declutter and then you just didn't do it?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
I did some I did.
Speaker 5 (36:01):
I mean I probably did like six bags of trash
just throw stuff out, but I have like twenty more.
I need one of those places that you know you
just say, can you take this for me?
Speaker 1 (36:15):
One of those dumpsters dropped off of your house. Somebody
to take it.
Speaker 6 (36:20):
Out of the house, out of the house in your
house and take it off of your shelf for you?
Speaker 1 (36:26):
Or do you just pick up bags? No, I want
them to take it out.
Speaker 5 (36:30):
If I say, see this this big toy truck, do you.
Speaker 1 (36:34):
Take that out?
Speaker 6 (36:35):
I don't know if something like that exists. They need
like a maid. You have to just hire a person
just staying around and point at things.
Speaker 3 (36:42):
Or if you if you got married, your husband a boyfriend.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
Yes, I need a husband to do that, but I
have a lot of stuff I.
Speaker 1 (36:50):
Want to throw out.
Speaker 3 (36:51):
Penelope says, you pulled a JLR and you went to
Santa's mailbox and it was closed.
Speaker 1 (36:58):
You did Oh that was another thing.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
Oh we almost fallbard almost got made divorce. I'm not
even kidding, because there's some things that happened there that
she was not too happy about. One of them was
the more minor of them, was we get there the
first night, we go out to dinner.
Speaker 1 (37:19):
We eat rain deer. We also ate seal, which.
Speaker 6 (37:24):
She had imagining a lot of smelly sea creatures there.
Speaker 3 (37:27):
Well, I'm like, oh, that's kind of sad. I like seals,
they're cute, but I ate seal. They just brought it
to you. There was like a five course meal or something,
and they go, oh, here's some seal and soup. We
had whale carpaccio, and also shrimp heads that they well
(37:49):
they were shrimp, but they were baked so you could
eat the whole head was just the opposite jubber. There's
no for the tails. Ah And what else did they have?
Speaker 1 (38:04):
Oh? Oh, man, I do not recommend a lot of
these things.
Speaker 3 (38:08):
But one of them is they made some sort of
bread and they like, oh, we don't have any wildlife,
very few wildlife.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
There's like one bird.
Speaker 3 (38:16):
We have on smallbard, and so we use every part
of it. We made this butter out of the crushed
up bone bird or bird bone rather, and it just
crushed up bones. My wife tries it, she's like, oh,
you got to try this. It's really bad. She's like sand.
And I go, I can't be that bad. And I
(38:36):
try it, and it was it was like sand. It
was just ground up bones. It was disgusting. Anyway, So
the next day we go and we walked to the
town and it's small, little it's a small little village
kind of thing. And we get there and it was
I think a Sunday or something, and.
Speaker 1 (38:57):
Everything was everything was closed until four.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
We got there at two thirty and they're like, and
she's like, why didn't we plan this way? We're just
standing around waiting for stuff to open up. Apparently they
open up at four pm or three pm on a
Sunday or something.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
They're open for two hours. Anyway, So we get there.
Speaker 3 (39:14):
After we we get to the little village, go okay,
seen this after about twenty minutes, and I said, there's
a a brewery that is the world's most northern brewery
and we can go there and drink some of their
beer and that'll be fun. So we get in a
taxi and the taxis, by the way, are super expensive there,
(39:38):
so if you want to take a five or seven
minute ride. It's going to cost you like fifty bucks.
It's insane. And so we take a taxi to the
to the brewery, which is a little bit out of town.
It's about a six minute five or six minute six
(39:59):
minute drive, I guess. And we pull into the parking
lot and I see the door there and it goes
entrance around the side, and then B two says before
we get out, shouldn't you just are you sure they're open?
I go, of course they're open. It's like five o'clock. Yeah,
they're open, and uh, we go the cab. The taxi
(40:23):
cab left. We go around the corner, closed doors locked.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
Now we're stuck out there beside who back.
Speaker 3 (40:31):
We had to walk back because she's like, call the
cab back, and I'm like, I was sort of embarrassed,
like I can't.
Speaker 1 (40:38):
I can't, Like I just got dropped off. First of all,
shame on the cab driver.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
He probably should have been like, you know, hey, this
place is closed, because he knows there's only like three businesses.
Speaker 1 (40:47):
Yeah, this one's closed.
Speaker 3 (40:49):
So I just I didn't want to call the cab back,
so we had to walk. It took us about an
hour to walk back and she was very, very very
angry with me over that. And it was pretty good.
Damn cold again, Jeffrey, What did you do you go anywhere?
Speaker 1 (41:07):
No, not really I did.
Speaker 4 (41:08):
I did have the opportunity to spend time with my
dad and we visited him right Christmas Eve and we
took the kids down to downtown.
Speaker 1 (41:15):
To see the lights. I got a couple of pictures.
Speaker 4 (41:18):
We also had the opportunity to see my brother Jason
was in town all between the holidays, and we had dinner.
It was me, my both of my brothers, and my dad. Yeah,
which was very nice. And we put something on the
baby's grave. We visited my mom's grave and oh that
I just pretty much just chilled out the I got
a couple of got my first song and Studd's.
Speaker 1 (41:40):
In for the year. No, yeah, where was that?
Speaker 4 (41:43):
It was a little place getting a little place called
the Pink Flamingo.
Speaker 1 (41:47):
You did that before New Year's out here in New.
Speaker 4 (41:50):
Year's Eve with a few friends and one to the
go have a drink, you know, because you don't drink
at home.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
And then went back home.
Speaker 4 (41:57):
Saw the ball drop kiss the wife Year's Eve. You
know when the when the ball dropped, so that was good.
So I just I just didn't do just I just
didn't do a whole lot like traveling. So that's all
I'll be about.
Speaker 1 (42:11):
Charlie.
Speaker 3 (42:12):
It sounds like you went on a trip. We'll hear
about that in a few minutes.
Speaker 1 (42:16):
Snitch. Did you go on a trip?
Speaker 3 (42:18):
You want to talk about that in a few minutes,
or or did you stay here?
Speaker 1 (42:21):
I went okay on your area.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Yeah, Crystal, you travel or you stick around?
Speaker 1 (42:28):
I stuck around. I'm just went around here.
Speaker 8 (42:30):
I went to a Cavs game, which was great with Skinny,
so much fun. The next morning, two days before Christmas,
I have no heat.
Speaker 1 (42:39):
In my house. Oh no, So.
Speaker 8 (42:42):
I start emailing frantically to find out do we know anybody?
Can I get somebody here pretty much immediately because Christmas
Eve then Christmas. Those prices if you call them on Christmas,
I don't want to pay that after five pm outrageous.
So I need to get somebody here, kay of immediately,
because two, I'm not going to be around. I'm gonna
(43:03):
go down to Skinny's house. I won't be around. There'll
be no heat. It's been nineteen degrees. I was kind
of worried about any kind of pipes freezing. He was
a little upset with me though, because I went with
the first person that came and told me what was wrong.
I said, all right, let's fix it, pay for it.
And he was like, you didn't get a second opinion.
Speaker 1 (43:24):
That there's no time. The holiday is here, the New
Year's is right after that. I mean, there's just no time.
Speaker 8 (43:30):
I'd rather just somebody fix it and get it done with.
And they actually the turnaround was amazing. They came back
I think the next day and installed the part. Everything
was great. Got a new obsession with stickers, these sticker scenes.
I need to get off TikTok, back on Minecraft and hungout.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
Wait, I'm a child. I just want you guys an
analysis stickers. So you're just putting stickers on things.
Speaker 8 (43:57):
Yeah, they're actually quite literally a scene. So maybe it's
a museum and then it comes with one hundred stickers
and you have to place them. They give you a
little a picture of what it's supposed to look like.
It's kind of like a puzzle, and then you just
sit there and put these stickers on and just decorate it. Basically,
that's it. It takes me an hour to two hours
(44:20):
to do.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
You know you should do with those hour and two hours,
you should research how do I fix my own heat?
Speaker 1 (44:25):
That is, that's that's.
Speaker 8 (44:26):
What I should be investing my time into. And I
have been minecrafting for hours upon hours on it.
Speaker 1 (44:33):
I mean, it's just been ridiculous.
Speaker 8 (44:35):
So I'm absolutely glad to be back at work.
Speaker 1 (44:37):
Okay, a productive person.
Speaker 4 (44:40):
Yeah, I too have dealt with an issue with my
heat as well over the last over the course of
the last weekend, my heat now on my apartment because
my apartment buildings were built in nineteen twenty, so they
have these old radiators, so the so they have so
they instead of a furnace off to cast fired boiler.
The boiler in my place has to be replaced now.
Speaker 1 (45:03):
So I called. I called my landlord and said, hey,
look we have no heat. What's going on.
Speaker 4 (45:06):
He said, well, you call this heating coming, they'll come
out take a look at it. So they come out,
and he came out, replaced one part and then we
had heat for a few days, and then.
Speaker 1 (45:15):
It went again.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
And then the guy had to call the guy back
over and he showed me what happened. He says, no,
and Ultimately, I learned over the weekend the boiler itself
has to the entire boiler has to be replaced. So
my landlord went in and approved it, and he's coming
out this morning to take care of that. So you
don't have heat right now, we have space heaters. Who
(45:36):
pays the electric? There, Charlie, you're you're missing my point.
It's a guest fired boiler. The space heaters are electric, right, electric?
I paid the electric, so I get. I had to
get some get I had to get a space heater yet,
one of those three sixties, three hundred and sixty degree
space heaters. And how long has this been out over
(45:57):
the weekend?
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Oh? Just the weekend? Okay, it's just the weekend. So
he's coming out this morning to put that new boiler in.
Oh nice, All right.
Speaker 3 (46:05):
That's a pretty fast turnaround too. And you don't have
to pay anything for that, right Mike, or hand take
care of that?
Speaker 1 (46:11):
Gotcha? I was it boiler only handling your unit? Or
just that handle it? Okay? In my building, there's four apartments,
so each one has its own boiler. Oh okay, all right.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
I was told that the the boilers and the other
three apartments were already replaced oars those last ones who
had been replaced, and he never got I guess he
never got around to it. And yeah, he my landlord
hit the bullet and said, okay, you guys, he's gotta
get me because that's part of the lease. So it's
pretty fast around. So he's being that boiler's being installed today. Okay,
Oh yeah, it was my motor that went. The motor
(46:44):
had gone for a couple of weeks. I was hearing
