Wednesday morning. December 17th, 2025. I'm John Paul Flame, joined by Eric Bickle.

Good morning. Good morning. And Jason Bishop is back. Guess who's back?

Guess who's back?

Guess what's in the studio.

We're all kind of discombobulated.

But we have Valdez's train set, which is around his tree.

But because yesterday E.B. revealed his love of train sets, especially around Christmas

time, he brought it in. Valdez brought it in, and now we have a train set going around and around. I had to get my wire underneath the train. I don't know how you put it in. Get off the tracks when the train's coming through. Sorry, it's underneath the track. I think it's actually so cool.

I mean, it's very uncomfortable because now we've got to move all around and we'll see if we can get through the show. It's somewhat distracting, but I love trains. We're getting in the spirit. I just love trains. Yeah. Again, I'm an H.O. Is that what it is? Yeah, I'm an H.O. guy. I'm not whatever this is. This is a different kind

I would love to have this in year round, maybe in a little bit slightly different location, but a little bigger. So this has to stay all the way through the Christmas holidays. I mean, I just don't think you niche and those guys are going to be able to handle it. Finley and B. Mitchel. They're going to make him nutty. Jason, do you have a train around your Christmas tree?

We used to, but we don't anymore.

When the girls were younger that we had to.

Yeah, I've never done the train. It's fine. I don't even know where it is. I think we still have it. I'm sure you do. When I was a kid, my mother did give us a train set, and then we did have it, you know, sort of, I don't know if we did it around the tree, but we would play with it occasionally.
