But first quick, check on with Mike Hawk and some of the stories and headlines, he is not working on. Well, thank you, Miles. New numbers show that 83% of U.S. households are using... How holds... Households. Hellholes. Are using artificial Christmas trees over real ones this year. All right. How high is it? How high is it? What do you mean? Oh, I thought you said it was telling you how many people are. 83%. Yeah, 17% of people are actually going with the real tree. Or nothing at all. I use an artificial one, for sure. Yeah, we do have one. I prefer the real tree. However, it's kind of cost-effective to have that artificial tree to pull out all the time.

It is. It just doesn't make sense to me. It's all. If you like them, do it. But for me, I'm like, yeah. And I don't clean up pine needles. Yeah. And sap all over your place. As an adult, I say that. As a kid, I felt different. Yeah. I just like them. I like to go get one. I'm with you.

Especially now I have a place big enough.

There's a good spot for it.

All right, I'll go get one.

Yeah, I'm with you.

I'm like them. I like to go get one. I'm with you. Especially now I have a place big enough.

There's a good spot for it.

Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you.

You know, we don't need to demonize it either.

Like, yes, it is just Tinder boxes that we have standing there next to our chimneys.

How long does it take you to put it up?

The artificial?

Yeah. Two minutes. Okay. All right. It just seems like a, it seems like a half-day project when I was doing it.

I think they come a little bit longer. They've definitely improved how they operate. You know, basically pull it out of a box, put three pieces together, fold down the branches, done. Exactly. Well, and the mother-in-law's got one that we used last year,

and we're going to use again those here, that actually it has all the lights already put on there.

And it's so weird, it's got little terminals on side of, on the bottom of every kind of section of the tree. And as they plug in, it just, it powers up through the tree there too.

Yep. House growing up had a pretty big foyer when you walked into it. As far as the height and when you walked in, the stairs went up to the second floor. And my mom, we had a Christmas tree in like the family room area. Okay. This was all of the decorations that my brother, my sister, myself had made, family things, sentimental things, colored lights.

Then my mom had like a 10-footer in the foyer that looked like something that you would see in Nordstrom.

Right.

Or like everything was color-coordinated.
