I guess we learn that you cannot wear a dangling earring while you're doing a podcast. Trey

rocking the de-way like dangler, but you had to take it off. Yeah, you know, in a limited choice scenario, I had to go with this most dangling one. It looks, Tass, you said it's a leap. I think this is a leaf. I thought it was a feather at first, but apparently, Skeets, your wife, Nora, made these. Oh, interesting. And they're in our house. Laura wears them. and I thought this was the coolest one that blended the dangle with the daintiness and the toughness I was looking for. But since it's on a long, hard, like a straight thing, that's the part that really hurts when it's getting smashed by the headphones. But, you know, we've got a whole week to experiment here. Okay. You'll be trying different ones. Absolutely. Yeah. Yeah, Laura was very upset when I told her I was going to wear her dangly ear. And she's like, where are you going to wear? I'm in public?

I'm like, yeah, I was going to wear her dangly ear and she's like where are you going to wear I'm in public I'm like yeah I'm going to wear them to work and then back home she's like well I won't be with you so that's fine okay yeah but no problems with it going back in the hole bit yeah a little bit I had to shove it through the back for sure but uh no blood came out so I was happy about that. Interesting. Just skin. Okay. Fascinating. How about you? Try and shove any through? No, I didn't try. Any sleepers or studs? No, I might have to go and have a look at a rummage around my wife's earring area, I suppose. Well, I'm only using half of every pair so maybe we could have matchers every day. Sure. Sure. The earring area. Jewelry box. Yeah, I mean, yeah.

It's scattered around.

She's got more... pair so maybe we could have matchers every day. Sure. The earring area.

Jewelry box.

Yeah, I mean, yeah.

It's scattered around. She's got more than one. Other everywhere. Yeah. Oh, yeah. All right. Let's get into it with a little what you got here. What's you got? What's you got? What you got? Yeah, a little what you got based off of some of last night's games and storylines.
