This is the weekly scramble, a place where we chat about life over a cold one.

It's time to belly up to the pod with Mike Fratelone and your host, Chris Revers.

That's right. It's time for the Weekly Scramble podcast. My name is Chris Revers. That's right.

It's time for the Weekly Scramble podcast. My name is Chris Revers with me as always. His name is Mike Fratelone. Hello, Michael. Happy New Year, Chris Revers. Same to you, my good friend. So it's Friday. It is Friday. It's January 2nd. It is January 2nd. But I'm going to kind of treat this as almost like the end of 2020. Oh, yeah.

You know what I mean?

Because this is our give thanks show. It's that magical time of the year where you're like, wait, what day is this today? Is it Monday? It's kind of between things. It almost feels like it's a Monday today because of the holiday yesterday, but it's a Friday. Yeah, you got Saturday and Sunday to just keep doing the same thing. It's pretty awesome. I did remember last show, I said for my New Year's resolution, I'm going to drink more. And I pretty much destroyed all that. I believe you're one of the, you're probably in a handful of, I would say, like three people worldwide that I said, hey, I need to drink more because I was a little light on it, but I did celebrate New Year's and I drank just enough to not want to drink this whole next year now. So I was like, I kind of did it. It was, can I tell you this little story? Sure. Okay, because it's, I think it's kind of funny. So I go out super early. We go to a golf simulator, right?

My wife and I had four o'clock.

Nice.

And they had, because I'm frugal, she orders a glass of wine and they said, you know, you can get a bottle of that wine for $30 instead of the glass for 14. And I said, well, and I don't really drink wine. I said, 100%. Let's get the bottle, right? because we're going to celebrate. So I had a drink there plus a little bit of the wine,

and then we went upstairs, had a little bit of dinner right? Because we're going to celebrate. So I had a drink there plus a little bit of the wine.

And then we went upstairs, had a little bit of dinner.

And we went home and our kids were home.

My older kid from college, right?

And I said, you should drive us and let's go some places because I was in the mood to party, right?

Sure.

So we went out and I had two sober kids taking us. We went to the Lexington. We went to a bunch of other bars. Oh, you were living it up. We really lived it up because I had someone who loved me driving me around, right? So at about 1.30 at night because I stayed up until midnight, did the whole thing. Wow. There's video of me telling everybody like, we should not be at home at 1145. Let's quickly go to some place for the ball drop because I kept saying it was the greatest night of my life. I really had a lot of fun, right? So at 1.30 in the morning, I get a video of some fireworks from a guy that I know from one of the bars, like we're acquaintances. Sure. And I said, huh. So next morning we're laying in bed and you don't know this, but on January 1st, all the hardware stores are closed, right? I don't really need to work. It's one of the few days, Christmas, Easter, that kind of thing where I just don't have to work at all, right? Mentally, I still, it's a day that I get myself off. So all of a sudden, early, early on the first, I hear trucks pull into the driveway.

And we have contractors doing some work on one of our bathrooms.

Okay.

I'm like, are you shitting me?

Are they here the day after New Year's?

I'm, I don't sleep naked.

I'm completely naked, so I don't remember getting naked.
