The Show - REUSE & RECYCLE

Episode Date: December 17, 2025

It’s holiday concert season & some parents are reporting close to three hour performances. Are people still reusing wrapping paper? OK, Atlanta. We were not aware of your Christmas game. New Spielberg movie looks crazy good. Plus so much more on a Wednesdee!

We interrupt this program. Previously, critics had brailed against the duo as crude, dumb, ugly, thoughtless, sexist, self-destructive, and foolish. They are not part of the legitimate business world. What they do is they celebrate underachievement. And all candor, I would tell you it's outrageous, Phil. And if I could find some way constitutionally to do away whether I would. Good morning, dumb, dumb. Happy Wednesday.

What? One week from Cremacy. What? Happy. Who is? Who is? Happy holidays. A couple days away from Festivus.

What? Week is just... I'm just scooting our butts right on the carpet of the week. Have a little whiskey Wednesday tonight. A little cocoa puff. tomorrow, a little fest of this Friday, you know, the whole Shredding, the whole hot-do you do.

We're just moving right along. Any sports on last night? Anything I would care about? Nothing, right? Tuesday night, nothing? There were some rando whatever's that didn't matter. The Knicks won the NBA Cup. They just do a random tournament

in the middle of the season? Yeah, they were desperate to find something way to make people want to watch in the middle of the year. Or the beginning of the year. and that was their answer a couple years ago, and it worked. Okay. For some reason, it worked because it was something to watch.

There wasn't anything on, like, in the middle of the weeks type deal right around now. I don't think he's awake yet, so I can say that I'm going to go see a Knicks game here in a couple months. Oh, I'm excited for that. Knicks'Rockets. So the Knicks are a good team? Oh, yeah. And I'm going to see a good team? Yeah.

Yeah. And you got it right with KD, right? Is that who it is? I don't know who else going on the Rockets. Oh, Rockets. Yes, yes. Yeah, Rockets. He's on the Rockets now?

Yep. Okay. Wicked awesome. Very excited. Thank you, Michael, 71 month sub in Twitch. Oh, man. Here we go. Oh, look good. Yeah, let's, um, all right, that's fun. That's fun.

Let's do we. We're locked in. Um, ready to rock and roll. Yeah, I got nothing really to like start here with without getting into it. It's just the holidays. It's just the holidays. Stick around. We're going to have holiday shenanigans.

Who knows? You're looking in Twitch. We got a new star shower. It's doing trees and sun snowflakes. I'll mess with it. I'll mess with it. This is like an outdoor one. Yes.

Yeah, this has a metal post that. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Well, that's a whole new decoration. That is a one that I use in a very small space in my apartment. That way, if you walk by or drive by my apartment, you're like, what?

He's going on in that back room. He's doing ecstasy and. raving in that backroom. Yeah. 7 o'clock on our Twitch channel. It's your whiskey Wednesday. Oh, excuse me. I'll be sipping on Sugarlands Shine peppermit stick.

It's the Christmas edition, right? I'm assuming. I mean, I'm not doing anything special. You decorate all the things. But still. This is my last one for the year. That's what I mean. That's a special episode.

But I'm not going all out and putting things up. The office looks the way it looks. Your Christmas decorum is your content, sir. Thank you. No, I'll have my little moose glass And we'll watch some Kind of Christmasy things They've been top-notch for several months in a row

Last Whiskey Wednesday of the year I will still do some house parties though Either this Friday next Friday I'm gonna be bored I'm gonna be listening to music so we'll be still be doing house parties Don't worry about that Basically you're kind of stupid idiot if you miss it Just saying

Dumbes Just saying in a nice way We have And if I can pull you away from the Cure Bowl Old Dominion in South Florida I mean, there's just... Or if you're pre-gaming for the Lending Tree Bowl, Louisiana, Delaware. That's the one I think is going to be the barn burner.

I don't want to screw up your evening plans, but... No, you'll be right in the middle. It's a Whiskey Wednesday sandwich. Okay. Ben in our chat saying he had a record-breaking holiday concert last night. Now, he wants us to guess how long the holiday conference. The high school. Nine different.

Nine different ensembles performed. Okay. Ensemble. That's asinine. Who schedules this? I'm going to say three hours. I'm sticking with four and a half. Bet, I'm going to say three hours.

Cody is saying four and a half. Give us the answer there. Because as much as I want to support my kids in music, I ain't sitting through a three hour. That's why I'm glad my-hour. Two hours, 45 minutes. Wow. No offense to any of you artsy people at all. I'm just glad my brother played sports.

Yeah. It was easier for me to watch. Sports is a... As opposed to a band practice or something like that. Because my buddy's kid does hockey, and it seems like he's always at a hockey thing. No, that. So I'm like, would I rather go to one three-hour concert, like, every three months or... No, no, yep.

Two three-hour hockey games every week. I think I'm on a big concert. And it's... I don't know how it all works with the instruments and stuff, but I'm assuming that's cheaper as well, because hockey is expensive. Oh, hockey's expensive. Yeah.

Hockey is an expensive sport. My kid, my oldest is artsy. They don't play sports, but our youngest does soccer, basketball, golf. Baseball once. I don't think he's going to do baseball again. And those are all very, for the most part. The basketball games are an hour.

Yeah. And then we stay and watch the varsity team. Yep. Soccer games were like an hour and a half. Baseball games were long, but that's baseball. Yeah. Yeah. Well, baseball's where all the damn money is they get those assonine contracts.

I'm watching my brave sign a bunch of randos for just random people. We re-signed a guy that declined an option. He had like, like, 2.30 this year, and we're like, all right, all right. What if we give you a $4 million race? Come back for one year and we'll give you $20 million. Okay. What? Somebody's making money.

Somebody's making money. Yeah, so I guess I would take. the concerts because when I think back to my kids when they they both did music. You kind of got me. I kind of, if it was like that for like hockey and stuff, I think I might do a concert as well. I just like to get it done

and the cool thing is when they were like younger, it'd be like, all right, the young kids are going to play and then the older kids will play and then you just sneak out, you duck out. And that's got to be funny. What? To watch. I mean, think back when we were like 6, 7, 8, 9. 10 years old where we're all singing

stupid Christmas songs. I remember very specifically that I had a solo in fourth grade where or third, whatever, or I got up to the mic and we all did our lines and said in a line like this and then I got up and I put a tack on teacher's chair.

Oh! It's a laugh line! I was a... You got a laugh line. We all had one. Remember that song? Yeah, Katie says my oldest has an eight has eight weekend long baseball tournaments this summer. Yeah, see, I was looking at it from just a brother as a brother's standpoint.

I'm not from a parent. You got to go to everything. I ain't got to go, no. Katie, isn't that every weekend? Is Katie in our chat? That's every single weekend of your summer, is it not? With baseball and soccer, I noticed is another one. Maybe hockey.

I just didn't play hockey. But there's always, because it's like soccer, it's the traveling team. And, you know, there's the all-stars. And then there's the all-star. traveling team. Yeah, with the basketball, it's like there's JV, but then there's also AAU, and then you can also get in one of the travel teams.

It's a lot. It's a lot. It's a lot. I liked baseball. Baseball was fun, though. To play. Well, you're at least outside, you know? And I got to, like, dive in the dirt. Yeah, you got to mess around. You like that kind of stuff. And I could fill my entire mouth with the biggest amount of sunflower seeds I could

and just stand there and every couple seconds go. The benefit of Like the Christmas concerts As the kids do Is that high school They're obviously going to be pretty good Yeah But like the middle school and like the young ones

They're just funny And they're learning They're learning And they're all doing Like there's somebody back with the shakers And then there's always like the horse claper goes Yes The younger they are

The less interested they are They're waving at their parents and moving around. Our youngest used to do that. His cute little face would be up on the risers and he'd be giving us thumbs up. He'd be giving us thumbs up. Love it.

Sweet baby boys. Anyways. Enjoy your holiday concerts. Is that a wrap? Are they done now? Is it like this? Because school's only got a couple days left. Right?

I don't know. I've been waiting to see when... Whoo-hoo-hoo! When like a fowler doesn't have cars in that parking lot. That way we all don't have to go 20 miles an hour. Well, school's only... I mean, at least the ones around here, only this week, and then they're done for the next two weeks. That'll be it.

Fest of S is for a one distilling in Phoenix, New York at 6 a.m. We'll do all your old favorites. They'll be playing the games, your feats of strength. They'll be airing your grievances. If you have grievances and you'd like to air those out, text them to the K-Rock text line, 315, 365, 1009. I'll save those and read them on Friday morning. We'll have lots of drinks. I got a grievance.

We'll have lots of treats. Is it about me? Good. Why do you say that? I got a lot of grievances about me too. Don't worry about it. Self grievances, if you will. I don't like to hurt my face doing like that.

A new poll finds that one third of Americans save their wrapping paper. Yeah. Not me. You save wrapping paper? Depends. Are we talking, is it nice wrapping paper? Did we not rip it?

Bags? Bags? I'm not saying bags. bags we save. Bags we save. Bags will sometimes save if it's a good bow. Because then you just got to take a piece of tape. Boop, boop, brand new bow.

But that paper, I'm not saving any paper. Some. Some, depends. What would constitute saving paper for you? What would be something that you're like, I got to save this paper? If it's like a thicker than usual or a nice wrapping paper that pops open like, oh, look, I just said I didn't have to rip it. And it's extra nice.

You fold it back up and you save it? right back in with the rest of the wrap paper. I have a whole box of wrapping paper and bags and bows and stuff like that. In case you need to wrap various things. It's my Christmas wrapping station, which reminds me I have to get it.

I left it where the decorations were. I have to do that today or tomorrow and I hate doing it where I got to wrap the gift for the mid game on Friday. Oh, but yeah, but that's... It's not fun. It's like 30 layers of wrapping. It's my least favorite thing is wrapping gifts. Now you're going to do it like 30 times.

Oh, I can't. I might pay the kid to do it. I was going to say bring it here tomorrow and we'll just take turns going back and forth, but then everyone will see. No. Someone has pulled 30,000 Americans and a third of them admit to saving their wrapping paper. They say they save it for reuse, but then I end up rarely never using it again. Oh, no.

You do, I find that you reuse it? Oh, yeah. Mm-hmm. Yep, absolutely. It's a very Depression-era thing to do where they would say, well, you never know if we're going to be able to do a full. Ford wrapping paper again, so let's save this wrapping paper. It's less the

wrapping paper as it is everything else. Like what? Like the, some of the tissue paper and the boxes. I'm not saving tissue paper. Just because that's an easy, boom, now I don't have to worry about looking for that next year. Wrap paper is readily available, but sometimes the other stuff isn't.

Shirt boxes and like good gift boxes I'll always save. A good bag, I'll always save. And then if you save them, it just saves you from having to worry about it next year. Bro, or birthday bags. Whenever, like, you got a birthday bag, stash those birthday bags away, and you'll be happy

that you did. I do. They're all in my closet. Because then you'll say, oh, I got to give a birthday gift tomorrow, and I have multiple bags. Nope, that's exactly what I do. That's how what I did for, um, uh, our, our work thing. You said the best?

I wrapped the thing and then I put it in. I had a saved Christmas bag ready to go. That's just frugal living, folks. It's just, again, it's easier. Steffie says she keeps the tissue paper. Wow. It is. It's sometimes it starts adding up and you're like, all right, let me get a bag of bows,

a bag of tissue paper, all this other stuff. Look at Katie. I saved the bags from my baby shower and haven't had to buy a new one since. Yeah, it's easier. Yeah, bags last forever. You saving them? 7 o'clock. I'll go live on our Twitch channel to sit on some peppermint stink.

Stink. Yeah. Stick, Moonshine. Pubbing Moonside, make your hand steak. Sugar and shine is tonight's beverage, and I got a whole bunch of it. Are you going to drink it, uh, get a candy cane and drink it through a candy cane? Do they have candy cane straws? They might.

I wouldn't know. Where am I going to get one of them by tonight? Yeah, I don't even know where you would go to get it. I can put a candy cane in a glass and, like, mix it with a candy cane, but I don't see myself getting a candy cane straw. As soon as I said it, I was like, I don't know if you'd be able to drill through a candy cane. I'll try, though, and I'll injure myself. You can do it.

Tonight show, as always, brought you by Liquor Wine and Moonshine, State Fair Boulevard, and East Coast Emeralds in North Syracuse. Get over there. There you got some cool winter stuff. Normally you hear about porch pirates like stealing the packages. Dicks. This porch pirate stole a cat. Come on, man. What's the matter with people?

It was the Amazon delivery driver that stole. stole the cat. Delivery driver in California was dropping off a package. Her cat Piper came out. We have a cat named Piper. Hmm. Interesting. On the ring cam, I stole it from California. It was a barn cat, right? We were just out there. That is true. Weird. It looks like they're just petting the cat on the ring camera, but after a few seconds,

the person grabs the cat by the scrub of its neck, takes it back to the vehicle. I couldn't even imagine. What? Leave my cat alone. Like, I, I would, I would do everything in my power to, to beat that person. It's possible the driver thought it was astray and was just trying to help it. Like, I, I would, I would hammer fist their face. I would hammer fist their face.

The woman complained to Amazon, said they were investigating, they said they do know who that driver is. They just haven't contacted them yet. It's been a week. She reported it to the police and they told her, it. could be weeks or months before they can look into it. No. My cat's gone! That's insane.

You know who it is. Get a hold of them. Be like, hey, we see you on camera. Give him the cat back or you're in trouble. And wouldn't that driver just be on that route? I'd be out there every day being like, where's that damn van? I thought he was just petting her for a second. I had to rewatch it a couple of times because it is hard to see it's dark.

And he doesn't carry her very nicely. And I see her little tail and I'm like, oh, my God. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It's like, Brian, it's like a five-minute job to be like, all right, that's the driver. Go to the driver. Did you steal a cat? Okay. Can you bring the cat back, please?

I mean, they've got to track the hell out of their drivers and make their drivers go 500 miles an hour. And they know where they are every second. But they can't get around to the cat thief. But they can't possibly figure out what to do whether one of their employees steal somebody's personal pet. Even if it was a stray cat, you're at work. Right? You're driving and making deliveries. What's your plan now?

You're just going to drive around a cat for the rest of the day? Or if you think it's a stray or something, why would you not when you pick it up? Knock on that door. Say, hey, you know anything about this stray cat? Excuse me. Anybody's cat this year? Hello? Uh-uh.

You know what tonight would be a beautiful night for Wegman's Lights on the lake. I was there last night. Yeah. Report back. It's beautiful. Mamma sita Don't That's the Santa Claus

We got Don't I'm not saying this is anything negative Against lights on the lake But we got boned by the tunnel Oh no I wanted to get a cute photo of Freddie In that tunnel

Yeah And there's a part where the tunnel Like kind of does this very subtle thing Okay I'm not going to spoiler alert it The tunnel is new this year Yeah they changed the light Yeah they change the lights

But it's like a synchronized light show in the tunnel now. Yep. And like we were approaching the tunnel and I was telling the kids, get a picture of Freddy in the tunnel. And it was on and as we pulled in the tunnel, it went into like, the reset, like a couple of sparkles.

And I'm like, come on, come on, come on, man. I didn't want to stop in the tunnel. Do it. I'm like, come on. I would. We waited for a while and then it came back on just as we pulled out. It's all right. I would say, I'll wait.

I am one of those people. You're going to wait for your favorites? I paid the same amount that you did. I want to be in the tunnel. when it goes off. It's you're there to look at the lights. I hate the people that want to fly through that. I've pulled over before.

Yeah? And put my arm off the window. Go ahead then. Go ahead. Go. I'm going to savor this. Like, I'm watching. I'm not going to go 10 miles an hour.

All right, let's just get through this. Because you're miserable. Doesn't mean that I am. I'm enjoying this. Freddie didn't know what to do with himself. He was not a big light. He liked it, but it's like. Like, what am I doing?

Why are we not getting? I have to talk to him like, you moron, this is why you don't get to do fun things because you can't calm yourself down. Like, you start screaming at Santa. Yes, I bet. He's screaming at Santa. They pull in. Ro, roo, roo, roo. And he does that, his like nervous shake where he doesn't know what's going on.

And I go, just enjoy the lights. Can you ever relax? And my wife goes, can you relate to him? I don't know. Relax. Oh, yeah, that might have helped give him a little something. He just can never relax. And my wife's like, yeah, look, look.

who who's who's in the house with. He's never relaxed. He's learned of him his dad. But he's trying. He enjoyed it. He was quiet and he enjoyed it. But we loved lights on the lake. I made money last night because I got to talk about coupon and $10 to splash.

So. Yeah, you pocket that. You pocket that. Very, very fun. It was beautiful. And even though the kids are teenagers now, I'm still that annoying dad. I'm like, kids, look, Santa's going to make this golf shot. Look at Santa.

Santa's going to make this shot, guys. They're on their phone. They are on their phone. Well, one of them was. But he was like, he was like, cool. the youngest was like, oh, it's cool, but I know he was looking at him. I know he was looking at him. Did you get McDonald's?

Oh, of course. Nice. Of course you got a little, that's how I had to bribe him to get out. Hell yeah. I go, we want to all go through lights on the lake. Grinchbox? And you can all get McDonald's afterwards, so they did that. After?

Well, they like, they didn't want to eat it in the car. They wanted to eat it at home. Oh, okay. So I was like, all right. And we were there right at open. Gotcha. Like we got over there five and I was right in the line and we were enjoying it. It was beautiful.

We were there before. opened? No, right as it opened. Like 505, we pulled in. We pulled in and then Freddie was in the back and the kids were in the back and we were riding. It's gorgeous. It's beautiful. I love lights in the lake. I like the both of him and I also were like, eh, this Santa character. I don't know what this is about. I've seen you on our house. And then Santa pretended to be scared of Freddy. Oh, it was a good Santa. They got a good Santa over there. Oh, was it the, the, like, I like Santa's nice, thick beard real. I don't know what different Santa's The one when we went was the different bigger, like, you know,

less. Not that guy. No, it was like the real, oh, no, the one was a good Santa. See, that's when you got to wonder, yeah,

there's helpers, but I wonder if he sneaks in sometimes. Oh, that'd be cool kids. Because that seems like the legit Santa. Well, we told him, we were pulling through

and he started screaming at Santa and we go, now you're in the Nautilus. That's what I said. Yep, I said, I said, also when you get cold in your stocking.

I don't want to hear it. Remember this moment. Yeah, now you're on the Nodulus, dude, because look what you just did. You made an ass out of us in front of Santa Claus. If you embarrass me in front of Santa Claus, I swear to God, Fred. I swear to God.

I swear to God. If you make that gingerbread man. Gingerbread man was there too. Put his hands over his face because you're barking like a nut job. I swear to God, if you embarrass us in front of Santa Claus. I swear. But that's why he can't do anything. That's why Freddie can't do anything.

He just has no chill. He's protecting you. This is why I disagree with this list. Maybe they're just counting major cities Because they said What are the top five best cities for Christmas? And I would say we got a bunch up here We've got beautiful little Christmas villages

Like every Hallmark movie takes place around here Yeah, they're just going to say New York City, aren't they? No, they said Atlanta See this That's not a good Christmas city I don't care who made the list Because didn't they say for states Wasn't it like something weird too?

I don't know. This is only cities, but yeah, like California made the list. Like, get out of here. No, no, no. Every Hallmark movie, unless it's like Christmas in the desert, it takes place in the northeast. Tucson Christmas. Right. It's in Connecticut. It's every single one of them.

We got to go to this Christmas tree farm upstate. Yeah. Google Inlet, New York right now, Christmas time. And you tell me that's not. Inlet, gorgeous Christmas town. I mean, that's number one. I love Little Falls. That's a gorgeous little Christmas town.

Yeah, I like our... I love where I live. We got a good spots. Go drive to Phoenix, New York. Right? It's a gorgeous town. Although I think I made a decision last night at lights and I'm like, my family doubts I'll do it.

So we won't. But I know, but I think I'll do it. Because they did this display that I think I can duplicate next year. It's very simple. Oh. You know at the very end, if I'm not ruining this front? I'm not ruining lights in the lake. It's damn lights.

You know when you come through like the castle thing and there's the big post that like make Christmas trees, like the strands of light comes down? I might do a giant Christmas tree in my yard next year. I've seen a couple people do that. Where I just put a big old flagpole straight in the air and then run strands down. I've seen some people do that.

So it's definitely, you could definitely do that. Because if you have the flagpole, then it's again, you just connect them all over the top and boom, boom, boom, boom. I like that because I feel like it's a simple decoration, but it's a bold decoration. But it's cool.

I like that. Do it. Yeah, Ben Riley's right. Skinny Atlas is a great Christmas town. Yep, that's a good one. We're very lucky with our Christmas towns around here. So I don't know who chose Atlanta. There's not even any snow.

Like, you've got to have a little snow. I mean, a little. I've never, I don't know, is it a good Christmas town? I've never. I've based it by. I need to see pictures. Let me see. They say they base it on things as how many holiday themed events there are,

seasonal businesses like Christmas tree farms, shopping, and how much people enjoy the holidays. Yeah, Seneca Falls is another great one, sister? I will say the AI overview says that Christmas time in Atlanta offers a magical mix of twinkling lights, festive markets, family shows, unique experiences and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Classic performances and one of the, it's got major light attractions and such. Maybe it's just because I'm from this climate, but I can't enjoy Christmas in any temperature over 60 degrees, you know? I don't know how people in Florida even enjoy Christmas. all people in Arizona even enjoy Christmas.

What? Google Atlanta Christmas time and then just hit images. All right. I get it. I'm with you. That's... Oh, damn. That's sick.

They do some... They do it up. That's sick. All right. He's right. If you look at like the photos... There's quite a bit. They do a lot of areas dress up all sorts of crazy.

Because it's the South. You don't got to worry about weather. It's Jesus' birthday. That is true. They do love Jesus down in the south Right All right I mean the, okay

The lights are cool I just need to have it be a little I need at least sweater weather No Swatter weather No I could Yeah I could Get down though with

Like what Susan is saying Like on a Christmas morning You get all those lights like that And then you wake up I'm gonna go jump at the pool real quick Because it's 80 Yeah But

That also I would like that as a Like one off Yeah I want to be here for all that stuff. But like once or twice? Once or twice. I wouldn't mind going to...

And I could be swayed. And I keep saying like Arizona. I don't want like that. I want like... No, I will tell you the greatest... Like the Bahamas. Nope, the greatest city in this country is Oceanside, California. I've decided.

My wife and I wish we had the money to live in Oceanside, California. It's where Polly's rich ass came from. I'm rich. It's where we visited over the summer. And I don't know what they do for Christmas, but I could tolerate that weather. A lot of boats. If I lived in Oceanside. That's the best city in the country.

A lot of boats. I mean, New York City is my favorite city. But if I had to just be a place where it was beautiful every day, Oceanside, California. I almost. You almost got to go. You almost got to go. See, Jojo agrees, Huntington Beach, California. I am not a beach guy, but something about that beach, bud.

He is a beach. You know, damn it. If someday I can afford to retire, or move or ever have a dollar to my name, I'd live in Oceanside, but it is expensive. Oh, I bet. Let me see. But I could deal with it.

I could do it. Christmas time. You look at the Bahamas? I bet they do a good job. I mean, it looks like they do what they can. Andy says there is a town in North Carolina that if you decorate your house, you get a free electricity for the month. That's cool.

Oh, so they're encouraging decorations. I like that. It's like the opposite of an HOA. So number one was Atlanta. Number two was San Francisco. three was Seattle. At least Seattle will be colder. Yeah, I bet Seattle would be kind of neat. So with San Francisco. I bet San Francisco Christmas time is cool. Let me see.

Because San Francisco's rich. They're going to have all the best things. Oh, very New York City looking when you do the San Francisco Google. Is it? Well, all right. So I'm not as impressed. San Diego made the list number 17. That's right where Oceanside is. So, yep, that's... Let me see. I get it. Yeah, look up San Diego Christmas. Oh, that's nice. also a rich community.

Rich communities are going to have nice decorations because they're rich. I like the boats. I've only ever seen a Christmas boat parade in Bob's Burgers. So that'd be cool. Anyways. I love, I, since I can't live in Oceanside, California, and I'm stuck here with you, I love Central New York. I do love Central New York Christmas.

He's stuck with us, guys. To design the Lexus ES, all we had to do was listen. Your ears said exactly where to put the speakers. Your eyes told us where to put the available head-up display. Hey, Lexus, find me an alternate route. Even your right foot helped out. It let us know you'd enjoy a little more torque. Turns out, you had a lot to tell us.

We certainly heard you. The Lexus E.S. Not just for you. Buy you. See Burdick Lexus and Cicero. Hey, happy Wednesday. Whiskey Wednesday tonight, 7 o'clock on our two. Twitch. Twitch.TV slash K-Rox C-N-Y.

I'll be drinking some Sugar and Shine peppermint stick, courtesy of liquor, wine, and moonshine, State Fair Boulevard. Did you just call me? And, of course, East Coast Emeralds in North Syracuse. Did you see this new Spielberg? Spielberg trailer, this Disclosure Day trailer that dropped yesterday? No, we mentioned we saw like that billboard or whatever, so that they put a trailer out.

June 12th, 2026, so a summer. So a summertime. Okay. Thriller release, dude. Okay. Bro. This thing looks creepy. Like, it looks signs creepy.

No. Didn't he do signs? No, that was M. Night Shyama. Yeah. Yeah. No, this is him. So I'm going to play the trailer. If you want to see it, jump in Twitch real quick.

Audio side. Am I going to be skewed? Well, Emily Blunt plays a weather lady.

Again, hits theaters June 12th, 20206. It's supposed to be, it's just listed as a thriller, but it's Spielberg. So what's he gonna do, bud? Oh, man. Right? Yeah, that was cool. That's good.

Wow. Day of Disclosure coming up in June. Happy Whiskey Wednesday. Tonight at 7 o'clock jump on our Twitch channel, K-RocC-N-Y. It is free to sign up. It is free to watch. It is free to chat. It's free to hang.

I'll be sipping on some sugar and shine peppermint stick. And smirking a little smirky shirt. Oh, my God. Thank you to liquor wine of moonshine on State Fair Boulevard. Bad influence. Who have a ton of holiday. If you're looking for like a whiskey or a vodka or anything to bring to a party. There it is.

Liquor wine and moonshine. She's got a whole display right up front of like the peppermint flavor stuff. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The gingerbread stuff that I had. I like the gingerbread stuff. I like some of those that you put in the coffee. Oh, yeah. That are weirdly, it's named like Fulton something, but I don't know if it's a vault.

Is it really? Yeah. I forget what the actual name is. Like a booze, Fulton? Hmm? Yep, like the little pumpkin pie liqueur and the gingerbread one you see in that, like, clear bottle. Hmm. Well, I, uh, I do love holiday traditions from around the world.

I like learning about other cultures and, like, how they do things. And it's like, always interesting to me how, like, we have this version of Santa, but then they over there, they got a different version. I hate other cultures. I don't care for other cultures. I don't care for other people. Because everybody kind of does things. own little way. That's what I like about humans. Yeah, it is neat to, when you start learning about

that. And this is a tradition we might need to steal. Oh, what? I'm going to pronounce it wrong. It's from Spain. It's called Tio de Nadal. Oh, okay. Translates to Christmas log. Okay. So here's how it works. Okay. For two and a half weeks leading up to Christmas, families take a regular wooden log. Okay. And they paint a face on it. Okay. You maybe give it a little red hat. You can give it a little wooden legs and you put... What?

What? I was going to say, I mean, and then we sing a song about it, about how it's, it's log, it's log. It's big, it's heavy, it's wood. I mean... Not, you know. Similar, but no. And then they just take a blanket and they cover up the back, the bottom of it. Like, they're putting it to bed, okay?

So then the character of this wooden log, Tio del Nadeau. Okay. Tio de Nidal. Are we about to have kids get real emotionally attached to a log and then huck it into a fire? No, because we're going to beat it with sticks. Yeah, okay. So the log is going to sit there and then on Christmas Eve, children will pretend to feed it scraps of food.

Give me out. I'm in. I'm in. Because you want to beat a log. Then they start to beat it with sticks on Christmas Day. Oh, my. Following the singing of the songs and the feeding of the scraps and the beating of the sticks, the blanket is lifted and surprise the log pooped out Christmas gifts.

All right, so you hear that kids? If you just beat the bejesus out of your parents, you'll get a bunch of Christmas gifts. Is that what I'm to understand? The Gatio is the magical log of Christmas Eve. Hit it with a stick while singing the Kagatio song and it will poop presents for everyone. It is one of the most of the most of the most of the most of the most of the most of the most of the Christmas Eve. One of the most popular and original Catalan Christmas traditions. But where does it come from? How does it work?

The Tio da Nadeo, commonly known as Cagatio, became popular between the 17th and 18th century in the towns and villages of Catalonia, Aragon and Occitania. As it one would. The Catalona wine mixer. Yes. The tradition of making the Tio da Nidal poop was related to nature and to the winter solstice. Many families, after making the log poop, burnt it out in fireplaces to warm up all together during Christmas.

Those multi-use. You decorate your log. You beat its ass. It poops out the gifts and then you light it on fire. I mean... That's going to put a couple kids into therapy, but it's all right. That's how I do every Christmas anyway. But the tradition of having a Tio da Nadel is more alive than ever.

How does it work? I think I get it. I mean, I think you just told us. I think it doesn't. It does. Okay. But it doesn't. Is this?

That comes with a lively face. I use a cackland of Perretina? Is this, is this? How you say? I believe. Christmas? I believe this video is being voiced by Ilaria Baldwin. It does kind of sound like her.

Aspania. So, I mean, I don't know. I wonder if Ilaria and her family celebrated this tradition. They did. They came from the Catalonia region. Illaria, did you celebrate the puppy log, Ilaria? Ilaria, did you have the puppy log? Two legs in the front and a blanket to hide the presents.

Okay. Kids feed the Tio don't and Adavile. before Christmas. This way, on Christmas Eve, its belly will be full and ready to poop a lot of presents. Oh, of course! On Christmas Eve, it winked! That's why I eat so much for Christmas. That way you can poop out all the presents and the kids will celebrate. Families and friends get together. The little ones gather in a room reciting poems and singing songs while the Tio don'tadal prepares to poop gifts. Then the whole family and friends hit the lock with a stick while singing the Cagatillo song. and surprised, the wishes of the little ones have come true.

Underneath the blanket, there are presents and sweets. Yay! Thank you, Gemma Fontaine. What a fun little cultural thing. That's neat. I mean, I like that. Everybody's got their own things. And it's probably impossible to keep these kids...

Entertained or something. ...stimulated all Christmas season with all these different ideas they're seeing on TikTok. And it's like a... They want to do all the stuff, an elf in the shelf. Well, I was going to say this is like an early elf on the shelf because you got that log sitting there watching. If you want it to poop out presents, you better have... You better be good and not to...

Not embarrass me in front of the log. You better not embarrass me in front of the present pooping log. And I like all the comments that are like, this is such a stupid tradition. Anyways, we got this rabbit that gives out eggs. So anyway. So anyway, here's what we do. What a stupid tradition. Anyway, when a kid loses his...

tooth of fairy comes at night. And then what he does, he puts on a stupid. Everything is stupid. Everything is stupid. I like all these silly traditions. Yeah, this one, though, is really dumb. So back to the story of Santa Claus. So he comes down to chimney. He has these deer. He has a sleigh behind

these reindeer. They're different deer, though. One of their noses is a light bulb, and they fly through the sky. Uh-huh. Anyways, I thought I was special. Mm-hmm. What a beautiful night. For Wegman's lights on the lake.

Had the lights and the lake. Get your tickets right now. No Christmas time is coming now, baby. I was there last night. Beautiful nights. The lights were chef's kiss.

They asked if you not come back, please. Oh, okay. Your family is more than welcome. But they asked me to ask you. He emits an odor that we'd prefer he not bring to light and light. This is a family friendly event. Yep. Yep. Too much tutes.

I was looking on all your House windows, those of you who live over there. Big house was all lights off. Oh, really? But it was set decorative. Like somebody lives there. Oh. I went through it.

They had a bunch of people all partying and doing stuff. Isn't it weird to see it, though? The house with the palm tree neon has frosted glass now, so you can't be nosy on them. Yeah. I get it. I get it. I would want that too. You can just see that they've got it in there.

It's still on. That neon palm tree. It's a... You can see that in the flamingo. Yep. It's a party house. That's a party house right there. You unfrost your glass, you take down those blinds, and you let us look into your house all year round.

Because I realize how creepy it would be for me if just every night of the Christmas season, cars slowly drove by my house. That'd be great. Cousin Jay would love one of those houses. Cousin Jay would go nuts decorating his house. See, same. I would get in to the spirit. You drive by some of those and you see like that all their blinds are closed

and there's no nothing and it's like, well, what did you expect? When you moved in, did nobody tell you that you're going to be a part of a huge thing? You're part of it. You're part of it. Go crazy, have fun. Please put something else in his hand.

Lights on the lake.com for tickets and every tickets every night of the week. Yeah, pressing hand against that glass right there. I would absolutely accidentally move. The police would be called immediately because I'd be walking around. They'd be like, as in my house, I tried to hide it, but they just saw my family tricks.

What happened? So let's jump around this list. We can get through this list because a lot of these are great. Collider.com has put together a ranking of the most iconic Christmas movie characters. If you misspell that website at all, you're going to give them good Collider. Most iconic Christmas movie characters of all times. Does you understand what I'm saying? Okay.

So let me jump down. Well, number 20, and this is, some of these are weird because it's like, it's a Christmas movie, but it's also a holiday. It's also like a Halloween thing. Like, I guess Terrifier 3 has Art the Clown, but he's in a Santa suit. Okay. Spoiler, thanks. Now I'm never going to have to see it.

Good job. I wasn't even through all of these yet. I only saw half of Terrifier 2, but whatever. Like number 17 is Willie T. Stokes from Badstores. Santa, Billy Bob Thornton's character. I mean, all right. Number 16 is Scott Calvin. Really?

Santa Claus. That's high up there, I would say, when you think of how many characters there have been over the years that you could pick for this. Chabby Chase, at number 15 is Clark Griswold. Wow. All right, now I'm interested to see who's on the top. Like, this is incredible to me.

Because number one, just Santa? No, it's not. I won't spoil for you yet. Number 14, Ralphie from a Christmas story. Okay. I mean, these are iconic characters to be outside the top ten. I was talking to someone last night. I don't care about a Christmas story.

It's on, it's on, but it's nothing I'll watch. I know that it's like iconic and everybody loves it. I watch it just that one time maybe as like the last thing once you get home on Christmas and you're like, oh. All right. I guess it's time to watch some TV for a little while, and you're like, oh, yeah, Christmas story's still on for another two hours. Like Christmas. And you watch it for a minute. The Christmas story that they, like the marathon they do on TBS or whatever it is.

Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, you just put it on when you're taking your nap. That's what I'm saying. You watch it for an hour. You're like, all right, everybody open their gifts. I like when the dogs. We've had our breakfast. Smack around that turkey.

And then everybody goes to their rooms. All right. Well, mom and dad are going to sleep on the couch for a little bit. All right. On that Christmas story. I like, did they have a little wine on the couch? Christmas morning, the parents and Christmas stories?

Yes, of course they do. That mom, you know, she gets crazy. Then they go to the Chinese restaurant. It is like kind of, I get it. As racist as that scene is, it was one of the funniest things I'd ever seen growing up. It's smiling at me and the guy,

and boom! He chops the head off of the duck. Well, it's good. That's hilarious. But it is also, it's a little too late in the year when they made it. It's not really in the 50s. So far, rah, rah, rah, well, as it might fit the time of then.

It was made in, like, the 80s, wasn't it that movie or something? Yeah. 70s or whatever the hell. But you know what? You know what? Not to get like all cinematic, like, you know, decoding a Christmas story. I like that scene because after all the trials and tribulations of the movie, the family is happy together at the end at their Chinese restaurant and they're all laughing together and it's all fun.

Yep. It's a good resolve, I like. It's the reason that I love. like the big old school Christmas lights. Yes. Because I like their house and I like the Christmas scenes when the snow is going and all that. Which shout out to a couple of you in Liverpool who have like the old school not only Christmas lights, but like those old-timey blow molds.

Like there's a house in Liverpool has a big Santa hat on its house. Yeah, I don't know who knows where all that stuff went. I remember my grandma had all of that up and parish. Like all of those old decorations, they're probably long gone. But yeah, those are the, I love that stuff. Although it is really funny in that movie, how much tinsel is on their tree when you're watching that this year? Yes, it's a lot.

Take a gander at their tree. It's hilarious. And as anybody who has pets knows that they would, my cat would immediately eat that and then crap it out and that have tinsel covered cat poop. Right. Yep. No, Jughead used to do that. We had to stop tinseling because you would watch them go over the tree and just go.

Oh. Yep. And then you got silver poop coming out. Pull it off and go, no, no, no, no, God. Back to this list of the most iconic Christmas movie characters of all time. And Griswold was what? 14. 15.

Ralphie was 14. Okay, yeah, yeah, gotcha. Chris Kringle from the original miracle on 34th Street, number 13. Okay, all right, yep, that's a good one. Frosty from Frosty the Snowman, number 12. That one? Happy birthday. Okay, I love that one.

I like that. I like the voice. That's a good one. Number 11, Klaus. Did you see that? That animated movie? Netflix? Yeah, that's very good.

I like that movie. Come on, man. You can't put them. You got to have respect for your elder. There's a lot. You're too new. You're too new. You're too new.

Rudolph from the 1964 Rankin' Bass. Rudolph's Reddose Reindeer. I like that one. Ludolph. Number nine is hipster. Oh, no. Gizmo from the Gremont. Oh, wow.

Okay, fine. That's, I mean, it's an iconic character, but I guess. Yep, that's a, that's a hipster move. It's a hipster move. Don't be Clark Griswold. No, really, Gizmo is more iconic in the Christmas season than Clark Griswold. That does not beat Clark Griswold. You just say that out loud and you know that's a silly thing.

Number eight, the double one. Harry and Marr from Home Alone. Yeah. Gotta have them. Yeah, people posting that picture this holiday season has been funny. Of that, like the, of their van. You know what this is? Yeah, I posted that on the K-Rock Facebook page.

That is funny. Buddy the Elf number seven. Okay. That became like top Christmas movie real fast. It did. It shot right up. It must have came out. Well, it was in Will Ferrell's like Prime.

Yes. Yeah. Where he was making bangers. But it went from, oh, what's this movie, Alf to this is the greatest Christmas movie all time. It's not my favorite movie ever. It just people. It's good, too.

It's also very good. It hit at the right time. Yep. And it's hysterical. Number six. Uh-oh. John McLean from Die Hardbus. Here we go.

Uh-oh. I don't care. I'm over the argument of, is it or is it not? It's exhausting. Because it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. All right. Now you're top five.

Okay. Most iconic Christmas movie characters right here on. Who are you? Okay. Number five is going to be Kevin McAllister. Oh. Home alone. Okay.

I'm okay with that. Yep. Is this toothbrush approved by the American Dental Assessessessonement? Yes. Number four, George Bailey. It's a wonderful life. Oh, wow. Every time a bell rings that angel gets his wings.

Is there a two? I don't know. Oh, I don't know. Did they make it? Did they make it? I have no idea. Nope, never seen it. Classic Ebenezer Scrooge from a Christmas car. The old guy with the little fuzzy hair? Not not Donald Duck or Scrooge McDuck? No. No. Oh, now I'll give you What's his nuts there from a Muppet Christmas Carol.

Who's that guy at that actor? Are you talking about Michael Crane? Michael Crane. You talk about Michael Crane? Michael. Come in and get to know me better man. I'm a good. I'm a good.

Screw Jet Nett. Edna. Can you guess number one? Hasn't been mentioned yet. All right, hold on. Let me think. We put together a ranking of the most iconic Christmas movie characters of all time. The Grinch!

The Jim Carrey Grinch, yes. Ah! Well, I was going to say the cartoon one, but okay, the Jim Carrey Grinch. There was a meme going around this week about him because he was paid like $26 million for that movie, right? And the makeup was so stressful for him. He offered the did the money back. He says, I can't do this movie. You can't have the money back.

I can't do this. I would imagine he's hired. Doing eight hours or more. They hired a guy whose job in the military was to help soldiers prepare for torture. and he had to help Jim Carrey like how you mentally prepare for what this is going to be What Susan says? What's Susan saying? F this list

Susan, who's your favorite, bud? Who's off the list? I like, I don't. I would just put Coddismol higher. Let me, if I could switch those teens with the first set of like the top 10? Yep. Just flip around.

Other than that, I'm, I'm in. I'd take Gizmo off this list. I don't care. John McLean off this list. You can just flip them. Klaus is way too high on the list. Yeah. But I mean, other than that, it's a pretty

decent list. And I agree. I ball. Cousin Eddie is the most iconic, like, Christmas character. But. Because he's like everybody's an annoying family member. Like Cousin'J.

When you think of that, though, I mean, these type of characters, where does he... Yeah, that's what I mean. Where does he fall? Anyways, who's the list missing, Susan? Or everybody. What do you guys think is left off the list?

Whiskey, when? Wednesday, buddy, tonight's 7 o'clock on Twitch. That was good. Slash K Rock. See what you did there? C-N-Y. Come get yourself something to drink tonight at 7. I'll be sipping on some sugar and shine.

Pepper mint stick is my choice tonight. I bet that's good. It's the final whiskey Wednesday of the year. Isn't it Wicked Strong too? That stuff? It's not. Isn't it moonshine? It's called moonshine, but it's not like, but yeah.

Like 140-proof moonshine kind of stuff. That is. You're not going to see. a whiskey Wednesday until 2026. See you next year. I mean, if you guys can not even go, I mean, if you want to wait till next year. I will though. To see them?

I will though do some, uh, as we go through the holidays here. I will do some pop up Friday night parties, house parties, because I've really been enjoying DJing and listening to music and just practicing that skill as a hobby. So, yeah, plan on that. Be following me on social media. I always post when I'm doing a Friday. at a house party. K Rock Josh in all the places.

D. Instagram, TikTok, and the Facebooks. And we do our own Whiskey Wednesday and Christmas Eve. We do? Oh yeah, you're coming over to the house. We do our own whiskey Wednesday. It's going to be you and my in-laws and my parents. That's it. That's it, bud. You're coming home. Come over. Eat some snacks. You're going to have some snacks and hang out. Okay.

It's a phone old Christmas week. You won't see another whiskey Wednesday until like the six or seven day. Ah! I get it. That's for real, too. You know, you know who sucks. is whenever somebody like... Vacuum cleaners.

Joshua. It's the guys, and it's always guys, in comments. Because yesterday, I think it was like student day at some hockey game, like an NHL game. Yep. And the goalie's jersey number is 6-7. So the goalie comes out and the kids lose their mind. I still think it's hilarious. And there's always some old guy in the comment.

Not even old. They're always like 29. I'll say they're my age or younger. They're like, I'm employed. I'm not like. learning what six, seven means. All right, dude, it doesn't mean anything. It's kids saying funny things because the kids.

They're not employed because they're 10. Yeah. Tough guy. Yeah, tough. Oh, you win! And it's funny. It's funny because it's kids doing funny numbers. You did suck it.

Yes. I like it because of how insane kids go. They get hype for it, man. It's just a number. It's nothing. So much that a very good professional wrestler made a shirt with it. Exactly. Exactly.

And I also like it. Old guys who can't and like let kids just be kids. I also like it because of that. How angry it makes people. They don't know what it is. Or that they just hate it. Yeah. Yeah. But I do feel bad for people like Katie in our Twitch chat that's a teacher.

Oh, that's annoying. That has to not, you know, has to cater her and tweak her math lesson. God, because God forbid. This is something comes out six, seven. An answer is six, seven. It's just, I hate seeing people. You're right. My age or younger being like too serious for the room.

I'm like, bro, I was there. You walked around going, give me TP for my bunghole. Yeah, you put your shirt over your head. I witnessed it, bud. So this is what kids do. We're silly and stupid. Like you're also... They're allowed.

Like, do you think that there's... Somebody is going to give you an award for being the tough guy on the face? book comments section. There's no award for toughest guy in the Facebook comments, guys. Just letting you know, I know you're all fighting for it under those Syracuse.com stories. There's no award coming for anybody

for being the toughest guy in the comments. Although, I hope there is a special place for people like us that will poke those bears by a laughing emoji and add all those comments. Or I like to give thumbs downs. Because my, man, my inbox is so full

of people that are so mad. that I laugh at their, you know, crazy, radical, whatever comments. They're out of their minds. They get so furious. And then, you know, it makes them even angrier that when they're calling you derogatory names and stuff, you laugh at those comments too. That makes them. Just, you could just, you can almost see their face get redder as they just continue to call you the most homophobic names.

And you, uh-huh. Yeah. Just letting you know, going into 2006, there is no award for being the toughest guy on Facebook. There just isn't. Or the hardest worker. Yes. Or you work the most hours and you're the hardest worker. No award for that. Well, wait, well, hold on. Back in your day. No award for the back in your days either. There's no. You tell me the bootstrap award, anything?

No bootstrap award, guys. Sorry to tell you. I've been pulling on my bootstrap as I can. I'm sorry. I've gone blind from yanking on my bootstrap so much. and really you got to take it all with a grain of salt because yesterday I saw a video of a woman walking across the bridge and she falls off the bridge and Jesus walks across the water and pulls her out of the water and all of the comments said amen

and I go oh okay that's who's on Facebook yeah got it they think that that's a real video of Caucasian Jesus walking across the river to save that late amen blessed I love it That's good times. Also, yes, I have heard that 6-7 is dead. I have heard the swirling reports.

That's why I asked you the other day about 41. That's less popping than 6-7. But it just sounds like it's the next. You know how all these things are going to be? Here's how you can gauge it. And I have always gauged it by watching what the older kids are into. Because once the older kids start killing it off, like the junior, and the sophomores, then the middle school kids will figure out it's not as cool.

And then the middle school kids will stop doing it. And then the elementary, once it gets, once the elementary kids stop doing it, then it's dead. Because, again, that's another reason I like it, is how angry also it makes some kids that people like us love it and think it's hilarious. Yeah, that we keep doing it. So, teens also think that's lame when we do a six-seven. Oh, I'm aware of that.

I've been trying to kill it off that same way. When my kids will say six-seven, I'll say, Like, hey! I go, ugh. I did it myself in the grocery store the other day and didn't even mean to, and there was nobody around. Yeah? And I went, oh, no, it got me.

Mm-hmm. Because there was some random thing. Well, I'm employed. I don't know what that means. I was just walking around a store in the middle of the day. Somebody validate me because my father never did. We got a new friend in the room from Delago. It's Sabrina.

Hello, Sabrina. Hi. What is your role at Sabri-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a. I'm the entertainment manager there. Okay. Overseeing the Vine. Also is like Centrifico, Savor, New York. What's Centrifico?

We have DJs every Friday Saturday, Saturday. Oh, that's cool. Very nice. That's awesome. I've always loved the Vine. I've talked very highly about that. I've seen Dashboard Confessional at the Vine. I've seen Our Lady Peace at the Vine.

Seen somebody else at the Vine that's always, it's such a great venue. It's the perfect size. Yeah, it's a really good size. And then when you're done, you can gamble or before or at. after or during. Just quick, just run out there. And we got some stuff coming up over at the vine, don't we?

Yeah, definitely. So tell me about, we've got Disturbed Tribute, Spotify, we've got the ACDC tribute Thunderstruck coming up in January. Yeah, so Stupefy. This is the first time we're having them.

Pretty cheap tickets for both of those shows. So Disturbed Tribute on the 10th of January and then Thundersruck, this is their third time coming, and they are incredible ACDC tribute. That's a fun of it.

A couple fun events there. Does that make you feel very old? Does it just it made me feel old? There's now a disturbed tribute band? I mean, it's technically a tribute band, but I feel more like it's a cover band just because it's like, you know. They look legit. No, I got over it. They look like them.

Because I started seeing like foo fighters tribute bands and like Nirvana tribute bands. And I'm like, oh, I guess you're that age now. And I'm fine with it. Some ring up accepted. Yeah, I don't care. See, Chuck you love says hello. He says hi. And there's a Day Matthews tribute band.

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, I don't know if I should mention it. Imagine it didn't know up. There's a ton of stuff coming up. Yeah, a ton of stuff over at Delago. Let's go backwards, though, because up for New Year's Eve, tell me about the Ozark Mountain Daredevils. What's that?

Yeah, that one, they have a lot of good hits if you want to get to heaven. Jackie Blue. It's more of like a 70s band. Okay. Think like Marshall Tucker Band. nitty-gritty dirt band. Oh, I love that. They're a lot of fun.

When you wonder why. You take some money and you put it away. and then hopefully the money grows and you can retire someday. All right, Lee, you're free to go. I'm sorry to embarrass you. I'm sorry to waste your time. Lee Ballardinvestmentclub.com.

Yes. Just like the new song that you just heard revealed and will be in all his commercial says, you do, you put money away. Make that a 2006 New Year's resolution, Lee. Find that money. Go do what I do. Go to your bank. count and you're like, what am I paying to Paramount or what am I paying to this?

Right. What am I paying? You find it. And you add it all up and then you put it away. Rightly. And forget about it. Set, save, grow. It's the end of the year.

So it's the end of the year. Here we are. It's been 25 economically or in Wall Street. It's been a good year for both stocks and bonds. So knocking on wood because there's a, you know, we're getting to the end of it. But so, so far, so good. But like you said, it's like this is also a time, and I want to wish everyone a happy and wonderful holiday season

and healthy 2000s, 26 and beyond. But this may be his time of year. When you're with family, when you're kind of doing a reflection on how it was the year and then what are you doing, this is a time to maybe say, okay, I want to not only get in shape and, you know, do that, but positively maybe get my finances in shape as best as I can, like cutting down your debt when you can. first and foremost.

Yes. That's bad. That is very bad. And there's a trend that my wife and I try to live by this trend, but now people on TikTok are making videos and they're saying normalize living beneath your means. Because you're so used to going out and you see these people driving new cars and they've got their new big house and they got this big vacation and it's hard not to compare yourself to that.

Right. And you go, you know what I wish I had all that. But you know what they probably have is a lot of debt. Right. Try living beneath your means. Buy that used car. Make meals at home. Underground in a tunnel.

And live there and then take that money you saved and get in the game. And it feels good. I am telling you, it feels good. Like, if you set on a goal like that and try to live below and stay within your budget, and actually you feel like a sense of accomplishment, it's like a real thing. It is. I can speak for Cody and I that we look at our dollar investment club and it feels like you're doing something. You're like, I'm investing in my future.

And in the crazy world we're in, the economy we're in, like if you have assets, you're benefiting. So that's the kind of the key to once you're in the game so you can be, you know, hate the fact that your health insurance went up. But if you're making money on the other side, it kind of like helps. I don't know. Yeah, and it's, there's ways to tighten up a little bit. You know, I wish that we were all extremely wealthy and we all could live these amazing extravagant lives. I wish we all got paid so much money. Right.

But it's just not the reality right now. So how do you tighten those belts a little bit? A, investing in yourself and finding ways to live beneath those means, get through a month and have a couple bucks left. It's possible. And at the very basic, that book thing that we had me do years ago, that really puts a damn light on the stupid crap you buy. It really does.

Right. If you commit to doing a budget, you're right. That's like. I saw the stupid things I was buying. Oh, yeah. Yeah. And you have to go back to it once a while because I'll head back to stupid land myself.

Yes. You've got to go back and say, okay, does this really make sense? Do I really need this at this time? Or would I be better served to put it aside and try to have that money work for you? And instead of you being kind of trapped, having money control you. Eating out. Mine was food or like drive-thrues or like, I'll just get this at a restaurant or whatever. I'll just make it at home.

Just frivolous purchases. Just try to find the recipe that you like and make it at home. I won't use a credit card for fast food because or gross. grocery shopping. Oh, good thinking. That's a good idea. I've never, this is maybe a shock. I've never used a credit card.

Everything I have is debt, cash. I pay cash. You don't use a credit card. My wife has our only credit card that she uses it to build miles on. Right. Otherwise, I don't have a credit card. I only pay for things on my debit card. I did, and I haven't had a credit card in years now.

I was just, not. I was just not, my stepfather was very, he's cheap. He's a cheap ass, but he's also, if you don't have it, don't spend it. it. The only exceptions I make are like cards, obviously. I don't have $40,000 in cash to spend on a car. That's, you know, the Dave Ramsey dream of buy everything in cash. But for everything else, I'm buying it. And when the bank account gets to zero, I'm done buying things until I get paid again. No more. Yeah, I mean, and there is good, there's good debt and bad debt, like a debt and mortgage on

your home where you live and you're building equity. That's, I would say, good debt because Is it you're, but just, you know, credit card debt or just, you know, too much on your cars where you get way upside down and just, you know, be careful. And the way car payments are getting now, dude, you're seeing people with $700, $800 a month car payments, guys. On a lease. On a lease. Guys. Go find something more affordable. Take up.

No one. I know that you want people to see you in a cool car. We all do. That's the dream. But wouldn't it be really cool to put that money away? When all the people who have nice cars are broke and they can't retire, you know, you know. You can. That'd be nice. There you go.

That'd be nice. Anyways, we're on a little bit of soapbox. We'll be bald, please. Lee, have a happy holiday. Happy holiday. Thanks for everything throughout the years, guys. Thank you. See you back in 26.

You got it. See you next yearly. CNN yearly. You'll see the tribute to them at Del Lago. We just talked about that with Sabrina. Stupidify the tribute, man, coming to Del Lago in January. That's probably cool. And Colin, you know, Jost?

Jost? He's doing stand-up there? He'll be there right before Bush. Very nice. So that's cool. I've never seen his stand-up. I wonder if he's good. Bush.

All right. We will hand you off to the 90s at 9. No guys jeans with Bush. With Bush. And we're going to play a little basketball. It's our game right now. We're having a lot of fun. We'll do a game.

Did I get the victory yesterday or did you? I can't remember. I never remember. But I was home yesterday, so you could be home today. You were Denver with Mello. Oh, fat lever. I got fat levered yesterday. Did I win, though?

Yeah, because it was fat lever day. Oh, yeah, I pulled the way ahead. That's right. Fat lever was bawling. Shout out fat lever, whoever you are. Lever. I used to, I have maybe one of his basketball cards. You are my guy.

I used to think it was a misprint. I'm like, well, fat, because I was a fat lever. Dude, what a fat lever? I saw, and I'm going to get the card wrong, so I'm just going to say a bunch of words, saw TikTok where this guy loved basketball. ball cards like in the 90s. Like we all did. Yep.

And he opened those packs and he put him in the little slidey things or whatever. Yeah, that's what all men are. Puts him in his, you know, bin as he moves around since the 90s. What's he got? What's he got? I don't remember. It might have been a Kobe, but it was some like random Kobe card. Okay.

That had like this special stamp on it. It was like one out of whatever and it was like a freshman Kobe, like a rookie Kobe. And then there was like. Fresh Foundations? I don't remember. I knew I didn't have all the stats. I just wanted to tell you this because I just saw the video.

Youthquake? I don't know. Was it a youth quake? Is that what you have? I've got the... Regardless... The Fresh Foundations one is pricey. I've got the youth quake one.

The story is, regardless of the card, he moved this bin around like we all do through our lives. Not bad news. It's just in this bin and he's moving it from apartment to apartment to a house, whatever. He's flipping through his cards last month and realizes that he goes, oh, I should look up with some of these. are $82,000 it sells for. Oh my God.

$82,000, dude. Yeah, there's some... So if you got those cards, man, just sitting in a bin in your basement, you might want to look through them. Well, what are you looking out? Sorry, I have this card. What card is it?

This Kobe Bryant one, but it's not a... I'm sure mine's not mint like this, but it's pretty damn close. I have that. I have that card. And you need to sell that card. I have that card.

You need to sell that card and pay off your student loans. I have that. I have that, and I have... What's this one? How much is... Oh, there's... Are there more...

Oh. It might be variations on it. There's... There's long as the side. There's multiple cards. Because I have that card, too. So I have two of these one, two, three, three, four, screwing around.

If you've got cards that are worth that much money, you've got to just pay off your student loans again. Oh, that was the back. Sorry, yeah. Get yourself. Just sell them. I have those two, and it goes for $12. Oh, my God.

You got to find somebody. You got to contact somebody. If you really have those cards, it might not be $20,000. No, but even that's, yeah, worth. That's life-changing money that you got to get serious about and sell. You got to sell those cards. Look at that.

All right. Anyways, Radio World, you get the 90s and 9 with some soul coughing. We're going basketballing. Gaming stream powered by Ryan Phelps Auto Sales. Be buying with Ryan. Ryan, Ryan Phelps Auto Sales.
