KJ and Lyons in for the Greg Hill Show at 803, make it 804.

Windy today, high of the year 37.

Look, we just thank you so much for being here if you're wrapping gifts and presents.

And John, I'll be honest, I have not put up our Christmas tree yet.

Yeah, can you, because you mentioned this last night and then you're like, oh, I'll tell you the story tomorrow.

So I actually, why, you know christmas is tomorrow i right right right really christmas

i mean did you put up the aluminum pole for festivist yesterday and that's why it's not up or well no because

so here's so really and i i don't want to throw my wife under the bus however um maybe however, however you're going to throw your wife under the bus. So, so look, first off, you'd have to know to have this dilemma, we already have a fake tree, right? So it's not like, hey, I haven't gone and bought a tree yet, right? Because that would be even more sad. That would, that would be. I might just tell you to wait till next year if is in the case. You might be telling me to probably go get a lawyer because your wife might be going to go get one herself, right? So we have a fake tree and so we weren't on Saturday, the 20th, right? So I told my wife, I was like, hey, look, you know, I'm, I don't work this Saturday. I'm ready to pull out the tree if you need it.

But someone had given her, because my wife works with NICU families. And so I guess that tree was brought home from the hospital. It's like a little mini tree, right? And so she was thinking about possibly making that the tree for the year. Okay. I'm not upset about not because my thing was like, can we get this up so that way I can get all these boxes out of my office because I need to wrap gifts, right? So much to the point where my oldest daughter who's going on vacation with her now husband and their child, you know, and they're in her stepdaughter, she just came over. It was just like, yeah, just take stuff out the back. I was just like, so you didn't wrap it. She's just like,

what for it? It's just going to waste paper. I'm like, you are so my daughter. So I want to wrap gifts. I want to put them under a tree. And so the tree is going to go up today. And it's going to be the the regular fake one that we have. It's not going to be the little one.

So I didn't want you to think that, hey, I'll get to it later. I'll get to it later, which is most of the time what I do is like, oh, I didn't know yesterday was Christmas. You always a fake tree guy or do you go real trees sometimes? Here's why I don't like real trees. The prices? Well, they think that's that point. Oh, my God, man.

No, I haven't bought a real tree in years. What are they going for now? So I will say this, and I'll give a shout out because it's a great organization for a great cause. I always get my tree at Cardinal Cushing Centers and Hanover, and they're like 70 bucks. And it's great cause. But then there was some other places around. That's just kind of looking. That they're not tied to charity.

125. Yeah, 125, 150. but then there was some other places around. That was just kind of looking. That's not tied to charity.

125.

Yeah, 125. 150. I think Andy Hart said he bought his tree for like $200 or something. I'm like, damn, this thing's up for three and a half weeks. But is that really a flex if he's like, I bought it for $200? Like, it was it a really big one? Did you buy the one? They said no two for, for, for, I don't care if he bought a California Redwood.

Like, man, it's no to for for for for i don't care

if he bought a california redwood like man it's going to be up for three weeks so that's the one

of the reasons why i'm not a fan of the live tree is because the the tree dies the leaves you know

when the when the pine needles come off and so forth and it it's a mess. You know, you sit there and vacuuming, going old school, you'd vacuuming. They would weave themselves into the old carpet. So you got to throw it out. And now they're really picky because it used to be like you just toss it out at the street. Now it's like, hey, did you get the notice about what day they're coming specifically to pick up Christmas trees?

I throw mine in the woods.

Yeah.

I take it right out the front door because I just set up near the front door, throw it right in the woods. So is it that a form of littering, right? Like you're... No, no, it's compost. I put it in the... It's just a very, very big piece of compost that will take a very long time. Babe, hurry up.
