Good morning. Good morning everybody. Happy Thursday December the 8th. How are you doing?

How's that coffee tasting this morning on this fine Thursday. We got another pretty dead news day. We've got a lot. I shouldn't say a lot. We got things to talk about, but it's another slow day, which is good. I feel like, you know, or slowing down a little bit before the holidays.

Dave, what were you telling me before you came in here before we started about your truck? It's like, by the way, it's like, what, negative four this morning? Yeah, negative four dude. It's freezing.

It's got a main seal broken it. And to replace it, it's like, dude, it's going to cost like a thousand fifteen hundred two grand. And I'm like, God, dude, I just add oil to it. That's all you got to do. So every like two thousand miles, I add a little bit of oil to it and dude, it was so cold this morning, like, even the oil was like coming out like a luge dude that won't break.

Disgusting. Why are you just fix it? Like I said, you like, you make a decent salary. Like why don't you just fix it? It's a lot of money.

I know I know, but dude, well, you know the mechanic around here too. He's like, uh, now look, if I were you, I wouldn't fix it. It doesn't do anything to your car. It doesn't make it drive better. It doesn't make it drive worse. It doesn't do any damage. Just leave it.

Is everybody said like you'll always say like it's a, that's a cosmetic thing. And with this, I'm like, yeah, you know, well, can we fix it? He's like, well, I mean, if you want to pay for it, but he's always kind of like, God, you know, actually looking out for your best interest. Yeah, kind of scam. Yeah.

Like, dude, the one day I had to bring him a case of beer because he kept looking at our car. And he's like, no, no charge. I'm like, you gotta let me get you something. Like this is about the fifth time you looked at the thing and not charge me.

Well, I guess, you know, I drink coars. All right. I'll get your case, man.

Get your case of beer. Dude, that's pretty rare. You don't get that like in the city. Oh, dude, no.

Every time my wife brings her car to a dealership, whatever to get it serviced.

They try to like upsell around shit every time dealerships are the worst. Oh, it's the worst. And I feel like they try to take advantage of women too that are by themselves. Like, because my wife doesn't know what any, you know,

mechanical stuff. Yeah. So she'll ask me like, do we do we need to do that? Do we need all four new tires? What? No, you know, all four new tires. You're kidding me. We're trying to scam. Yeah.

Trying to take advantage of you right now. Yeah, change oil bearing. Get the, yeah, your blinker fluid. Yeah, dude, I hate car stuff.

But anyways, okay, well, if he said that, then all right, whatever. I don't really problem is now when it's 10 below, you got to do that.

I know. And it's like, it's just a vehicle too. It's a, it's a good run in vehicle. It's a good pickup. But I mean, it's one of those cars I do, I drive like before you moved up here, maybe 50 miles a week. Got put on the engine dude. Like, so it's like, yeah, a couple oil changes a year. I can do it.

Well, I'm going to be laughing at you every time you're doing it. No freaking 10 below whether we're getting right into the heart of that time of year two between now and like early February. I know I hate it, dude. I know I'm pretty over it already.

People are ice fishing though. That's that's positive news. All right.

Let's get into today's show. We got to get to our national holidays. What are we celebrating today? Today is national crossword solvers day. Hell yeah.

I feel like I'm, I have the worst winning percentage in history on crossword puzzles. I love crossword puzzles. But I don't think the number of times I have actually finished one. Like a New York Times one. They're so hard. Like on one hand, I can count.

Yeah, they're so hard. So hard. And dude, I I cannot do crosswords, man. Just save my life. So I, there's too many like synonyms and there's too many cinnamon buns and this, yeah, similes and name a three letter word. That's that means sky.

Dude, I don't know the sky. Dude, I don't know speaking English. We also are celebrating Bodey day.
