Is there any, more so than a car dealer? You know us how they trail you? Yeah. Oh yeah. It's so bad. Like one person, like, he's like, he's mine. Yeah. And then you're like, yeah, I'm just looking. I'm looking for, I'm looking for a love seat for my, uh, my, my den or my garage. And like, okay, let me know. My name's Barbara. And everywhere you look, like, they flip their business card. Barbara's like, she's eight feet behind you behind a pillar. Like, hey, she's lurking. Yeah, she's lurking behind a dresser. And then if someone else tries to help you, Barbara's like, nah, nah, like slap them on the nose. And you're like, you're so right about that. And what happens when you try to walk to the other side of the furniture store? Oh, they hustle after you. They're like, hey, go to die. It's like, beat it sales vultures. So whether it's Ashley Furniture, Bob's, you know, home goods, not home goods, what's the place? Living spaces. Wherever you go, that salesperson, and I get it, they're commission-based. So you know what I do? I'm going to give you the deterrent. Raymore and Flanagan. Yo, beat it, Flanagan. When you go to these stores, here's what I do. I always say, hey, Barbara, give me your card. So when I'm ready to buy, I got you. That way they back off. Yeah, but you know what? We can't speak out of both sides of our mouth because how many times do you go to a Best Buy nowadays? I don't know. In the 90s? I was just say on those rare, rare moments where you go to any store and don't use Amazon. And you're looking for someone to help. And you're like, does anybody work here? What's going on? you know, nobody seems to be doing their job at all nowadays. So, you know, it is in a nice way, a little refreshing to see that some people are still on their hustle. But it's clear where people work on commission and people don't work on commission. Yes. I don't think they work on commission at Best Buy. Commission seems to inspire. Yeah.

So just a little tip for me to you.

Tell the person, hey, what's your name?

George, yo, when I'm ready, I got you.

You think you invented this or something?

You think you're the first guy to come up with this strategy?

Give me a break.

Thanks, Captain Obvious.

That's the point. Hey, point hey guys listen when someone is little aggressive with their sales tactic and their sales agenda tell them hey back off

relax when i'm ready i'll get to you no but let them know. Relax. Hey, you got a business card? Thanks. You know what? What's your IG? I'll hit you when I'm ready. I'm just browsing. All right. So that's question one. I don't like to sit down. I think your observation was way better than your great advice. Well, you could have just said that. How about you say beat it, dude? Also, too, I'd like to recommend a lovesack couch. Yeah, I got one of those bad boys. They're very lovely. They're expensive. They're expensive. That's where it's at. My kids, you know, you know why little kids are six and three. They get their peanut butter or like spaghetti old hands every day. You take the covers off and wash them. That seems like a huge pain in the ass. That's why you have a wife. That's the TV commercial where they put it in a square and they dump the plastic balls in the middle. I got that. Like Chuckie cheese back in the day. Yeah, you can have a ball pit. Yeah. That's all that's all I want. Was that you, Ramos? It was not me, no. All right. So, first of all,

furniture stores, check. I just got to get these dumb things off my mind before we dive into the NFL. Second question. For watching football, for watching baseball, for watching NBA, which is right around the corner. What's too obnoxious for a TV?

Because my wife and I was like, babe, I think I want to move the TV into the den, the garage that we're redoing. And I think I want a new TV. She's like, how big? I'm like, I don't know. 85, 90 inch? I don't know. The biggest you can get? You're talking to sports fans right now. you can't get too big.

I was like,

babe,

I think I want to cover that whole wall.

Yeah.

You've got to be in the hundreds at this point. You have a grown-ups living room. You have enough space. I don't know, 100-inch, though? I'm thinking maybe like 85 is a baby boy nowadays, baby boy. Why do you need wall space?

It's a good point, Bob.

What do you do with your wall? See the glass. It's a wall. See the glass between us and Ramos and Danny J. That's a beautiful size. You should make that your TV size. That's like 120. 120 inches. Well, they sell that now. Wait. Hold on. They sell those at reasonable prices. Oh, there's a tape measure right there.
