Live from the Holiday Blues in Spot Studios.

SPEAKER_04 0:08

Presented by Pete Tonight Altuna.

SPEAKER_05 0:11

Gojo on the go.

SPEAKER_00 0:16

I couldn't tell if you were like under an algae-filled lake for a second. And those the colors turned green behind you.

SPEAKER_02 0:23

I was looking I've been working out of this basement so long it is an algae-filled lake. Once that hot water heater goes any day now, it will be all set.

SPEAKER_00 0:34

Oh, when do you when are you supposed to replace those? Because mine's 11 years old, and my plumber was like, you need to act on this now. And then I look it up and they're like, no, you got time.

SPEAKER_02 0:44

Yeah, big debate on social media this week because I saw some stupid reel, and this one plumber's like, you gotta flush your hot water heater. And I'm like, flush your, you have to flush it? What do you and so like he showed the hose attachment? You're supposed to hook it up to the sink and drain it, let it fill up again. But then other plumbers say you don't need to, and then other plumbers say if you do, you could break free the sediment that's sealing the whole thing in the first place. Oh Lord So basically the way you'll know is when you walk down to a flood. Is that what you're gonna know? So have a um a pool pump ready in your basement. If you have a laundry room sink, run that to the sink, and just that way when the thing gives, which will be any day now while you sleep, this thing can turn on and drain it. And you'll have less of a disaster when you wake up. And that's a helpful tip from yours truly.

SPEAKER_03 1:38

There you go. And if you have a nice big fern and some glowing lights, even back.

SPEAKER_02 1:42

Yeah, yeah, we keep that up a little bit here. I'm trying to fool the algorithms, you know. So give them something different to and you are clearly fooling them as well, Humpty Jagger. Um is that a babushka on your head? Well, it's just a beanie.

SPEAKER_00 1:55

The man loves a beanie.

SPEAKER_02 1:57

I'm just asking. Like I'm trying to figure out like I have a totally different jagger in front of me right now.

SPEAKER_00 2:03

Well, it does look like he's special ops. I mean, he's got the background that looks like he's in some third world country, which respect. Uh because then you have a TV in front of it, so it's like, are you hostage? And then he's in full on like green attire because he's trying to blend in somewhere and doesn't want to get attacked. So like I feel like I'm watching a movie right now.

SPEAKER_02 2:22

I just feel like we get the scraps, and then his real job gets like the suit and tie jagger.

SPEAKER_03 2:28

You want suit and tie? We can work online.

SPEAKER_00 2:31

I'll take the scraps any day.

SPEAKER_03 2:33

I feel like that's I could be myself here.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

You know, I could be tracking the end of the world nicely if you'd take that monitor and change it from our logo to the news so I could just see how long we have left.

SPEAKER_00 2:45

Just ticking time bomb.

SPEAKER_02 2:48

Yeah, yeah. And speaking of watching videos, another one was this guy was like, Does anyone just not care anymore? We have war, we have all these disasters, and he's like, Is anyone just checked out? And I care about these things for reasons like our military that I want to be safe, and obviously how it affects prices for everything we buy. Yeah, I care, but it's like what can I do?

SPEAKER_00 3:17

Well, actually, that's a very healthy perspective because you know, the powerlessness or admitting that you don't have control over things, that's something that I feel like so many people struggle with, including myself at times. So I think that's a really really nice uh headset you got there.

SPEAKER_03 3:34

But you out of the three of us working at the Red Cross, you can do some plenty.

SPEAKER_02 3:39

I can do plenty.

SPEAKER_03 3:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:41

Maybe not for yourself, but for others.

SPEAKER_02 3:43

Actually, if you need an arm, I can have one shipped to you and you can practice putting a tourniquet on it. If I can help you out in any way, just let me know.

SPEAKER_03 3:51

Thank you.

SPEAKER_00 3:52

Or a book on it.

SPEAKER_02 3:54

I can give you a book, yeah. Jagger, I can give you the uh babysitter's handbook at a discount so you can deal with us. Oh, gross. Oh, okay. I get you. Who's got a morning beverage right now? Because we record these things at the crack of dawn. I'm so thirsty.

SPEAKER_03 4:10

I can't go in my kitchen this early. I'll wake up my girlfriend. She sleeps in the fridge? No, but the fridge is right next to our bedroom.

SPEAKER_00 4:18

Ah, you know, these are things okay, this is actually something that that we should talk about because obviously I'm considering leaving my home, moving somewhere else. I've lived in a bunch of places. Both of you have lived in a bunch of places, and I do feel like every time you get a new home, you make considerations based on your last experience. But then there's always something where like, I did not think of that when I bought this house. You know, sometimes it was like being too close to a main street, or um, maybe having your bedroom next to the refrigerators. Like I these are things that I I can't always put into words, but then when I have them or I don't have them, I'm immediately like, oh, I gotta remember that next time.

SPEAKER_03 5:01

So when I scoop ice out of the freezer, it's like a marching band is going right through our kitchen. Oh Jesus.

SPEAKER_00 5:07

So maybe next time, just the moral of the story is soundproof walls.

SPEAKER_03 5:11

Yeah. Or I get a whole rig in here. Like I get a whole studio set up in this office, fridge, fridge ice.

SPEAKER_00 5:17

Well, that sounds like major demolition happening.

SPEAKER_02 5:20

I got a portable ice machine, it's an igloo portable ice machine. You fill it up with water, put it anywhere you want, plug it in. That's what I should do.

SPEAKER_00 5:26

I don't even use ice in the morning. Why don't you just turn on the sink and pour the water?

SPEAKER_02 5:31

Speaking of exactly what you're talking about, not considering things when you move into a home. Um, I didn't consider where we picked our master master bedroom to be. On the other side of the wall behind the headboard is a bathroom toilet.

SPEAKER_00 5:52

Oh yeah. Yours is worse.

SPEAKER_02 5:55

So can I tell you that if I hear somebody, whoever, like go into that bathroom while I'm in bed, I do this. Oh no. Yeah, I'm real squeamish and I just like I I I know we all have bodily function that's natural, nothing to be ashamed of, but I don't need it in this ear.

SPEAKER_03 6:16

Right.

SPEAKER_00 6:17

No, no, I agree. That's that's the thing, is like as a master suite, you know, you want you want the bathroom nearby. That's a part of the charm, right? Right.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

You don't want to hear a bowel movement in your head. Correct.

SPEAKER_00 6:30

My old house, we had a bathroom that was attached to our master, but then also it was a Jack and Jill bathroom. So we had the full bath, and then we had a literally a full bath, a sliding door, and then a toilet and a sink in the next bathroom. So they were connected. So basically, if two people are in the bathroom at the same time, you hear everything. And if two people are in the bathroom while you're in bed, you hear everything.

SPEAKER_02 6:57

So anybody who's seeing or hearing this right now, if there's a comment section available, if this is the first time you've heard of a Jack and Jill bathroom, or it's just me and Jagger that's poor, let us know in the comments. Because I've heard of a his and hers. Is that the same thing? The his and hers, like the two sinks?

SPEAKER_00 7:12

Uh no. There's two toilets. No, it's it's two bathrooms. It's just divided by a wall. Crap in front of each other? Uh well, someone enjoyed crapping in front of me.

SPEAKER_02 7:22

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_00 7:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:25

Look, look when I first started doing it. They enjoyed crapping on you more.

SPEAKER_00 7:29

Still does. Still does.

SPEAKER_03 7:32

Even in a hotel room, I would go down to the lobby. I wouldn't even use a hotel bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 7:38

Oh wait, is that because of the sanctity of your relationship or just because you're because I'm a nice person. What do you got there?

SPEAKER_02 7:48

Some iced tea? That's so good. So this is one of my all-time feeling things. This is Richie's dairy is local to our area.

SPEAKER_00 7:56

Why you need an entire gallon at five o'clock in the morning is beyond me.

SPEAKER_02 8:00

Well, to be clear, I didn't make this dent. Oh. I'm not. The great thing is, I'm the only one that drinks iced tea. So I can turn the top part into a petri dish. Unlike when my kids were little and they did this with the milk.

SPEAKER_03 8:14

Straight chug from the jug, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 8:17

Right in front of you, and then just put it back like it was normal.

SPEAKER_03 8:20

Well, they just need a sick. I can't get enough of that stuff. I'm not a fan of iced tea either or tea in general. It's like chewing leaves when I drink a tea.

SPEAKER_00 8:29

Well, unsweetened for sure.

SPEAKER_02 8:31

But you know, this is this is diet, but it doesn't taste like diet. It tastes like you're drinking straight up regular iced tea. It's crazy. You're awful for me, and we spent every week together.

SPEAKER_00 8:43

You like paying. I don't know what to tell you.

SPEAKER_02 8:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 8:46

Masochist.

SPEAKER_02 8:47

You know, sometimes I'm used to paying women.

SPEAKER_00 8:50

What? Subliminal thoughts, dispersing.

SPEAKER_02 8:56

Back to the massage parlor. No, oh my. Oh my.

SPEAKER_00 9:00

I could go on for days about that.

SPEAKER_02 9:03

No, um Yeah. So one of the main reasons in in addition to running my business, aside from what social media might have told you this week when I became the target for no reason.

SPEAKER_03 9:14

What is happening?

SPEAKER_02 9:15

I uh I tried to stick up for somebody, and basically I became the bullseye, and it all backfired uh in a weird way. So I just kind of moved on from that and just I'll deal with the trauma on my own in my own time.

SPEAKER_03 9:30

I thought you learned to mind your own business.

SPEAKER_02 9:32

Yeah. Is that what we're supposed to do?

SPEAKER_00 9:35

Well, I guess I do mind my own business because I really have no idea what you're talking about.

SPEAKER_03 9:38

I don't You don't pay attention to the show or us. So we understand.

SPEAKER_02 9:42

You're busy writing your advice to the world on Facebook. It's like it's like the New Testament of the Bible.

SPEAKER_00 9:48

Yeah, no. I'll I'll post on social media what I find relevant for myself, and then I don't scroll. I don't I don't do the scroll. If unless it's on the homepage that one of you recently posted, so I see it. Yeah, uh, I'm not I'm not dating.

SPEAKER_02 10:02

You don't lie in bed and look at reels for three hours. What's wrong with you? No, no, it's not normal. You don't watch it.

SPEAKER_00 10:08

My friend recently like said to me something about the for you page on Instagram, and I'm like, the what? And he's like, What's your algorithm? Like, what what uh weird stuff do you have on there? And I took a look and he's like, You never just scroll this. And I was like, the only thing I'm seeing on there is a lot of videos on like how to make the perfect brownie. So obviously I've looked that up before.

SPEAKER_02 10:29

That's all you're gonna see now.

SPEAKER_00 10:31

So I said, Yeah, I don't I don't uh frequent the for you page.

SPEAKER_02 10:35

You gotta be careful when you're watching those reels, whatever they might, TikTok, because you spend more than 10 seconds on one. It's decided that you're fascinated with that topic, and that's what you're gonna see the majority of.

SPEAKER_00 10:48

Right. I do, I do think that that's most platforms, right? Like I the one thing that I do frequent and I'm scrolling constantly and searching is on YouTube. I really enjoy watching long form content. Um, it's relaxing to me. I'm able to multitask when I'm doing, you know, cleaning or whatever. Um, and and it does. Like I look for one thing, and then that's the only thing that's popping up.

SPEAKER_03 11:11

See, I think algorithms on the internet are much like dad gifts.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

Be careful what you spend more than six seconds watching.

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Yeah, I just don't, you know, I've seen the emails that you've sent us and I appreciate them learning how to leverage social media, and I would love to be better at it. Um, but so it is it's exhausting to have to like let social media run your life. Do this, not that. Otherwise, you're gonna be well, I send it for the success of the business.

SPEAKER_02 11:40

I'm sure there's some inconvenience to the other.

SPEAKER_00 11:42

No, and I I read those and I I do take those like seriously and I try and apply them.

SPEAKER_02 11:47

But um it that's Well, do you think I read them? I don't read them, I just send them to you.

SPEAKER_00 11:52

That's nice. Good. No, I think. Oh, the TV is on. Nope, TV is off.

SPEAKER_02 11:56

If I pick Yeah, one thing out of it, I consider it a success. I know it's sometimes they're long-winded diatribes about how to be successful, but if I see like one or two things that maybe I think might help, I'll pass it along.

SPEAKER_00 12:09

No, I like that little tidbit you gave about trying to engage with the audience within a certain time frame. Um, you know, but then of course it becomes well, are you then going to obsessively stay by your phone? Yes. Exactly. And I can't do that. So it then it becomes a moot point for me. And it's just uh it's so what do you have better to do?

SPEAKER_02 12:29

Yeah, what do you got going on? You don't go anywhere.

SPEAKER_00 12:31

You're right, nothing.

SPEAKER_02 12:32

You don't even have a passport. You're right. Do you do scroll like the rest of the house?

SPEAKER_00 12:35

No, I did get my daughter's new passport. It it came in less than six to eight weeks. I was there like two weeks ago.

SPEAKER_02 12:40

I love how your daughter got a passport before I did. I'm 52 and she's like four.

SPEAKER_00 12:45

Oh, and her her picture is scary. Like, I wouldn't want to mess with her. They warned me, they said they might not accept this photo and they're gonna kick it back to you. And then I sent it in and I have a full-on passport now with this little mini terrorist.

SPEAKER_02 13:00

Your daughter?

SPEAKER_00 13:01

I don't mean terrorists in that way, I just mean like because kids are terrorists.

SPEAKER_02 13:04

A little terror. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

As I travel the world with her.

SPEAKER_00 13:07

She looks so scary though.

SPEAKER_02 13:08

I'm like, uh my wife was first in the line for those passport photos. So they're like, all right, don't smile, take your picture. So she's like They're like, that's a smile, try it again.

SPEAKER_00 13:18

She's like I'm not good at that either.

SPEAKER_02 13:20

That's a smile, try it again.

SPEAKER_00 13:22

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:23

No, it's not, it's too smiley. Try it.

SPEAKER_00 13:25

So by the time it's done, you're not being mean.

SPEAKER_02 13:28

And that's how it looks when we're gonna try to go to Canada now.

SPEAKER_00 13:32

Listen, I got thoughts on the Canadian border.

SPEAKER_02 13:36

Um, because I gotta go there soon.

SPEAKER_00 13:40

Yeah, you're leaving any day now.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

With the four hours I had because I woke up way too early, I was able to research about how to handle yourself at because I used to work in Detroit and Canada was right there, so it was no big deal. And you didn't even need a passport at that point back in the late 1900s. You could just go to Canada um and come back. But um, of course I lost it, but there were some interesting things here I didn't even think of. Well, it's like it's first of all, it's like make sure you take off your sunglasses because it helps establish trust. There's something I didn't think of. Um, I have to have a notarized letter to have uh my daughter go because we have shared custody.

SPEAKER_03 14:24

And that was a big trust issue in Canada.

SPEAKER_02 14:26

I got also, I never thought about this. We're bringing the dog. So I have all of his vaccinations and proof of microchipping and that. And they're like, but when they say, Do you have anything to declare? You have to even say, like, I have dog food. Like if you have an apple in the car, you have to tell them well that makes sense to me though, because you're not supposed to bring produce um across borders, like when you're leaving or entering a country.

SPEAKER_00 14:52

So I understand that. Um the declaring a dog is crazy to me. Like, are they assuming you're sticking drugs up your dog's buttons?

SPEAKER_02 15:01

No, not so much the dog, but you have to tell you have to like whip out the dog food and let them read the ingredients and stuff. Like, we're gonna be at this border for like three hours at this rate. I don't know.

SPEAKER_00 15:11

Part of me no, go ahead.

SPEAKER_03 15:13

I was saying I didn't realize the Canada border was so traumatic.

SPEAKER_00 15:16

That's why I'm thinking, but this is where I think you've just gone down this rabbit hole, and maybe you're just overthinking. I mean, my brother has told me before that he drove over the Canada border and forgot his passport and still made it through.

SPEAKER_02 15:27

That's because he was dating the border patrol agent. Come on through, eh?

SPEAKER_00 15:30

I mean, hey. I mean, but then maybe that's the thing, also. Maybe they play so nice because they want you to think they're nice, and then they get you.

SPEAKER_02 15:38

Meanwhile, you get there and you can smoke weed inside of McDonald's. It's I feel like border patrols.

SPEAKER_03 15:45

Like John Candy and vacation. Come on, we're open.

SPEAKER_00 15:49

Yeah, exactly. I I I wouldn't take it so seriously. I mean, do the things that they're telling you to do, but like she just wants me to go to prison.

SPEAKER_02 15:56

That's what she wants. Don't don't worry about it, Jojo. You'll be all right, I guess. Show off that pepper spray. Right. Which is another thing you can't bring into Canada.

SPEAKER_00 16:05

I somehow made it on the plane um both ways with my pepper spray, uh, because I forgot to take it off.

SPEAKER_02 16:11

And I was like, And that was Spirit Airlines, they're out of business. You can't hold out against Joe.

SPEAKER_01 16:15

Uh, can we bring that up for a second? Did I miss something?

SPEAKER_02 16:18

Uh Spirit Airlines was there, and then I woke up and they were gone. Like there were literally people who had flights booked, and they're like, all right, well, we're packed, let's get to the airport. And they get to the airport and they're like, Spirit, what? Yeah, I just I can't believe that.

SPEAKER_01 16:33

Is that how it happened? There was no warning.

SPEAKER_02 16:36

I mean, we knew they were having financial problems, but I didn't see like they were just gonna like close in the middle of the night.

SPEAKER_03 16:42

Yeah, no, no warning to any customers. People just showed up like they were going on a vacation. And they said, sorry, uh, flights are canceled, we are out of business.

SPEAKER_02 16:50

Could you imagine being on one of the spirit flights while it was in the air? And they're like, We're out of business. They threw people out.

SPEAKER_00 16:58

If you got parachute bitches, no, apparently I did see one thing about a flight attendant like saying goodbye to spirit, and like uh apparently it was heartfelt and stuff. Yeah, it might have been, might have been. Um, but yeah, what a terrible thing. And I mean, I guess it just tells you that like not I mean, let's take it with a grain of salt, right? It was Spirit Airlines. I don't think it was anyone's fan favorite.

SPEAKER_02 17:21

It was an airline in spirit.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

It was an airline in spirit, but um, I think at the end of the day, it's like things can just go like that. So nothing is protected, nothing is safe, and it just kind of doubles down for me. Like, you know, protect yourself before you wreck yourself. Don't worry about anyone else, worry about yourself.

SPEAKER_03 17:37

Now I'm seeing all these memes of spirit planes, like people's driveways. Like, hey, I just picked one up.

SPEAKER_02 17:43

Have you seen the one like, hey, are you looking for a job? There's nothing to stop you from saying you're the CEO of Spirit for the last 10 years. True. Cross-check that.

SPEAKER_03 17:54

I don't know that's going to be good for your resume, though. I ran them out of business.

SPEAKER_02 17:59

You're the guy that did it. Um, so I guess that's why my daughter's flying up on windy airlines around. Breeze, yeah, breeze. So is this like some secret thing where they've known the whole time? Are they like a part of this breeze venture? I have no idea. I'm just asking.

SPEAKER_00 18:18

I think I looked into it at all.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

Um I just know that I flew at one time. I think there's something, yeah, because like at one point I think Spirit was value jet, and unfortunately, tragedy happened, and then suddenly it was Spirit, from what I remember. And I'm just wondering because I never heard of misty or what she call it, windy. Breeze. Breeze Cloud. Breeze Breezy. I never heard of that. And then two days later, Spirit closed in the middle of the night. Right. So it seems a little odd to me.

SPEAKER_03 18:48

Well, breeze has been around. You hadn't heard of them until recently, but uh because of your daughter's flight, but they've been around for a little while.

SPEAKER_00 18:53

At least the five past five years, I think.

unknown 18:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:56

I never heard of them before in my life. Little cheap direct flights here. Very cheap. Very cheap.

SPEAKER_00 19:00

Well, and a lot of these airlines, they're starting to expand, right? Like um, so the local airport for me, it only flies to a handful of places, and most of them are Florida. Um, but Frontier and Southwest are the main airlines that fly out of there. But even Frontier, they're expanding to um then it's a no-frills airline, but now they're going uh to some international like Punta Cana and I think even Aruba.

SPEAKER_02 19:25

Um Punta Who? Punta Ball. So uh the concern in this area in the Trobe, Pennsylvania, is the Arnold Palmer regional airport, whose only major airline, and we used it a lot, was Spirit. If you wanted to go to Disney or Disney or maybe Disney, you can't.

SPEAKER_00 19:45

Well, at least you don't have to go to Disney.

SPEAKER_02 19:47

So what the hell? I mean, like they have it's a small airport, but they have a nice restaurant upstairs, an Italian restaurant. They even like sell some of the food in our grocery stores now. It's so good. But who's gonna go there now? And like people that own planes, maybe, but I don't understand that. Maybe we'll get some of the maybe it'll get misty or windy or breezy or whatever you called it. Maybe they can slip in on that. So uh hearts go out. I mean, if you work for Spirit and then you find out you you don't, that that's terrible.

SPEAKER_00 20:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 20:16

Um it was just weird. I've just never seen something just disappear like that.

SPEAKER_03 20:21

I saw it.

SPEAKER_02 20:22

What happened to all the planes? Like, where did they go? The auction.

unknown 20:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:25

They're becoming dollar general. 75, 75, 100, 105, 105, 110, 110. They're finding somewhere, somewhere to go.

SPEAKER_03 20:33

But I saw a story where there was a a pilot, it was supposed to be his retirement flight on Spirit, and it got canceled. It was his last flight.

SPEAKER_02 20:40

No.

SPEAKER_03 20:40

And so they they put him on another flight and uh celebrated him that way with a different airline.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

Could you imagine? You work your whole life dedicated to that, and then it's like about time for your retirement, and the place folds.

SPEAKER_00 20:52

I mean, honestly, though, like for him, he's got no loss there.

SPEAKER_03 20:55

Except, I feel like it's exactly my fate. It's exactly what'll happen to me.

SPEAKER_00 21:00

It'd be worse if they said, Oh, by the way, now you can't retire.

SPEAKER_02 21:05

Yeah. I don't think anybody can retire anymore.

SPEAKER_00 21:08

Ugh, doesn't feel that way.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

And I, you know, this is in no way political. I mean, is anyone out there thinking things are awesome right now? Because please in the comments point out positive things that are good.

SPEAKER_00 21:20

It's pretty awesome for some people, just not for us.

SPEAKER_02 21:23

Yeah, for the for the billionaires, I guess. Right. Um, and I can tell you this is good.

SPEAKER_03 21:29

I make a decent living at my own. All right, stop bragging. No, I'm just saying, Elon. I'm just saying that like uh if you'd have told me 10, 20 years ago the the number and that it would still be barely enough, it's like, what the hell? Like, why why are we even trying so hard?

SPEAKER_02 21:46

It is I am gonna say this. I I will say this, uh, just to balance it out. I mean, gas prices are like, you know, through the ceiling, but I do remember um years ago under a completely different administration. Affiliation. I was spending over four dollars a gallon for gas to get to work.

SPEAKER_00 22:04

It's true.

SPEAKER_02 22:05

So it's not like you can I'm not into blaming one side or the other on this. I'm just pointing out that gas has been expensive under both parties at certain times. Right.

SPEAKER_00 22:16

It's not something we haven't seen before. Uh I think it's just it always becomes a shock to the system when you don't see it for a little bit. Like someone told me just yesterday they paid $4.50 for a gallon. I have an EV now, so I'm just like, ouch, that hurts. Um, but yeah, I think just price of everything is kind of crazy. Um, you know, I I live in a a home, but of course, I have a roof over my head. Group, luckily. But I've been trying to look to see if I can downsize to try and save money. And actually, with the way that the rates are right now.

SPEAKER_02 22:50

You say the Jack and Jill bathroom, you're just gonna have a Jack bathroom.

SPEAKER_00 22:52

Exactly. No, I'm only I'm only having the and only the and. But like seriously, when I'm looking at some of these, whether it be a smaller house or a condo, um I'm looking at places that are like the price-wise is the same as what my current mortgage is, and it's actually going to cost me the same, if not more, for a smaller and or shittier property that's going to need work in it. And that's like a terrifying thought. Is like, oh, I just don't know that I can afford life at this point.

SPEAKER_03 23:22

I love how you're cutting costs, but yet, oh, I'm going to Belize, I'm going to Vegas, I'm going to show you.

SPEAKER_02 23:28

She got a sugar sugar men's be paying for it.

SPEAKER_00 23:31

Yeah, you gotta have people in your corner. Hello. People that are are trying to pick you up when you're down.

SPEAKER_02 23:37

Yeah. I just found out we need a $45,000 roof because it's not just the roof, it's everything underneath it that's rotten as well. You think I'm paying for that? No. My sugar boopy's paying for it.

SPEAKER_00 23:47

Yeah, welcome, welcome to my world.

SPEAKER_02 23:50

Everything under it's rotten. Boopy's paying for your stuff too.

SPEAKER_00 23:54

I wish.

SPEAKER_03 23:55

I need a boopy.

SPEAKER_02 23:56

Yeah, it was it was really something. We had the uh the roof meeting, you know, the folks show up and they get up there and then you all sit at your table for an indeterminate amount of time and crunch over your financial devastation that's gonna be falling upon you.

SPEAKER_00 24:12

Well, and we talked about this when I got my roof done a few months ago. It's like you don't even know if they really did a great job because it's your roof.

SPEAKER_02 24:20

And here's what's great. So uh we're gonna be gone for a week.

SPEAKER_00 24:23

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 24:23

And they're like, guess what? That's when we're gonna come.

SPEAKER_00 24:26

Oh, wait, they need to do it like now? Like this is an emergency.

SPEAKER_02 24:29

Oh, yeah, it's within the next couple of days. And and they're gonna have it done in two days, but this isn't just a take a metal roof and put it on top of your old roof deal.

SPEAKER_00 24:38

Okay.

SPEAKER_02 24:38

This is take the whole roof apart, take the wood under the roof out because it's rotten. Like they're redoing the entire and I have three different roofs because why wouldn't I buy a house with three different kinds of roof? Sure.

SPEAKER_00 24:51

Well, mine has multi-layer too. And um, let me tell you, I I do feel a lot better now knowing that I'm on a fresh start. Like basically, your 30 years is resetting, so it's gonna be it's gonna last after you're dead. That's for sure.

SPEAKER_02 25:04

That's what I wanted to bring up because you know, and there's a monthly payment with this, and obviously we we took advantage of the financing where you push the payments back six months and all that. And they're like, But the good news is this roof is guaranteed for 50 years. It a tree could fall on it, but anything that happens to this roof, it's covered. And all I'm thinking in my head is what about 50? I'll be way dead. I I don't know if I have 10 more left in there. Can I get the 20-year roof, please? 50 years from now, I'll be 102.

SPEAKER_00 25:35

Like, but it does maintain the value of the house when like in the inevitable happens, and then your family has to sell the house. Like, they'll no, she's right.

SPEAKER_02 25:44

And my oldest son, who's the genius graduating Penn State this week and immediately has a full-time job at quadruple the salary I made my first 20 years in work. Um I see what he's doing. When there's a uh say Christmas, okay? It's Christmas time. We're all together under the tree and lovely, and holly jolly Christmas, and we're giving gifts. And then there's one gift left, and it's from my son Jacob to the family every year. Okay. So we're like, oh, what's it gonna be? We open it up and it's like a smart thermostat. Or we open it up and it's new electrical outlets.

SPEAKER_01 26:21

Oh, he he's building that house up real quick. He's upgrading. He's not giving us gifts, he's investing in the home that's gonna be his to sell when we're gone. I love it.

SPEAKER_02 26:33

I really love it. He's thinking 10 steps ahead. Jeez, I could never see.

SPEAKER_00 26:38

This is why I can't play chess because I can barely think two steps ahead. Right. This guy has planned out his life.

SPEAKER_02 26:44

I'm getting my wife a burrito blanket. You know, I'm getting my son.

SPEAKER_03 26:49

Don't put a couple bucks against the roof. It's gonna be his one day. I was gonna say if you had more time, we could find some roofing sponsors maybe to get up there and next Christmas.

SPEAKER_00 27:00

I don't think he's got time in one way or the other.

SPEAKER_02 27:04

I just realized now this year was kind of random. It was the uh smart cat litter box, but I guess he anticipates the cat outliving us as well and doesn't want to have to change the litter.

SPEAKER_01 27:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:16

All right, we're working on an abbreviated schedule here because one of us selfish cast members is taking a family trip for a week, so we want to get you a bunch of episodes. So I do want to say hello and thank you to our sponsors. Before we wrap this one up, first of all, I want to say hi to Trialuna Royal Cleaning. Uh, they have hired everyone they need. You guys listened to the help wanted in the podcast and they are staffed up. And now they're just looking for clients. If you uh residential or a commercial business, listen, they've got some big accounts, they've got small accounts like mine. Call them at 814. Hang on a second. 814 89. I'm gonna say it wrong and he's gonna yell at me. Where's your glasses? Yeah, really. Oh, dad. Hang on a second here.

SPEAKER_00 28:07

Okay, see now we can be the Four Eyes Gang. We're renaming the show. Four Eyes Gang.

SPEAKER_03 28:11

I have three and a half, but all right.

SPEAKER_00 28:13

I think it's more my writing. More than fair.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

You know what? Why don't you just Google Tri Luna? Uh 814-895-3038. That's 814-895-3038. And if some old lady answers it, that's not right. Also, a shout out to Pizza Night. Time to make a pizza night, whether it's lunch or dinner, delicious. By the way, uh, you might have seen it. Uh, my wife was blown away with Triluna. Not so much that they did an awesome cleaning job, but I hear her walk into her bathroom and go, Oh my goodness, look at that.

SPEAKER_01 28:49

I'm like, what the hell?

SPEAKER_02 28:51

And go ahead, put it up. They engrave your toilet paper with their logo to let you know like they hit that spot. And she, I was like, Okay. And she's like, Isn't that amazing? I was like, Well, they could put a sticker on it. She goes, No, that would ruin the toilet paper.

SPEAKER_00 29:09

Well, it's funny that she's seeing it as amazing when they're doing it as accountability.

SPEAKER_02 29:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 29:15

I gotta cover my own.

SPEAKER_02 29:18

It's like if you branded cattle, but they did it with the toilet paper.

SPEAKER_00 29:22

Essentially, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 29:23

Yeah. Uh so nice touch. And then back to Pizza Knight, who's just their specials, if you've been following them on social media, have been absolutely amazing. They're on Beale Avenue. Uh, I don't know if anybody has any of the current specials available in front of them right now.

SPEAKER_03 29:38

Yeah, they got their uh mix and match, mix and match deals. Grab a medium one topping or one of their 12-inch Italians like me. I mean, uh for seven bucks. You wish. What?

SPEAKER_00 29:48

12 millimeters, maybe.

SPEAKER_03 29:49

12 inches tall. Well, I mean, if three times. 12 feet wide.

SPEAKER_00 29:55

Now he's just doing that reverse math. Well, if you divide by this and you multiply it to the power value like me.

SPEAKER_03 30:03

Pizza night. They got a 12-inch Italian. It's like seven bucks. Basically, it's the cheat code for feeding yourself on a budget without eating, you know, cardboard. Ew, nobody likes cardboard. And they got those boluses. If you like the bowl, you can get a bowl there. Philly cheesesteak, Sicilian Thursdays. They're doing all of it right, man.

SPEAKER_02 30:22

Yeah, you guys are amazing. So um, it was funny. The uh roofing people, in addition to surveying the destruction, managed to work in a little condo on me, and we're on that with you guys. And our podcast came up. They came down and looked at the studios. Oh, because they say they say, What is your podcast about? And I went, I don't know. Because when people hear you have a podcast, they expect that you're gonna be focusing in on murder, cats, horoscopes, uh, wellness, a specific targeted theme. I was like, no, between the three of us, we're not gonna carry a train of thought for every single episode like that.

SPEAKER_00 31:07

Yeah, you know, I do get that question a lot too. People will constantly ask me, what is your podcast about? And life. The bet yeah, the best way I describe it is like, hey, we're three adult siblings shooting the shit, like just living life and talking about it.

SPEAKER_03 31:20

Um stole that from me.

SPEAKER_00 31:22

Did I I did steal the adult? I really I liked that, three adult siblings.

SPEAKER_02 31:27

And that's what it is. It's like it's the same thing as like the terrestrial radio show I did with you guys was. It was just, you know, the you they hand you all this crap that they would get from writers in Hollywood or something, these unfunny jokes and shit, and you'd throw it out and you talk about your life, and you would engage more people that way. So it's a podcast about life and observing things, make fun of life and each other. Hopefully, you can relate to one of us or all of us or two of us, whatever the case may be. You know, if you're a billionaire, you got Jana. Right. If you like Humpty and Digital Underground, you got Jagger. And if you have a legend in his own mind, I'm sitting right here for you.

SPEAKER_00 32:05

Yeah, that's a good way to describe it. You know what's funny? We make fun of life, and then life definitely makes fun of us.

SPEAKER_02 32:11

Yes. Example.

SPEAKER_00 32:12

So that should be our tagline.

SPEAKER_02 32:15

That was good. Hulk Hogan documentary on Netflix. So my head starts working. I got a small, tiny history with Hulk Hogan, okay? It's not like it's my identity. But I asked Jagger, like, here's this, here's this clip. Could you could you make it something I can post? Because it's it's relevant with this documentary out and everyone's talking about the Hulkster. So he makes it. It's really cool. Thank you, Jagger. Sure. And then, of course, I go to sleep and I wake up and I look in the comments, and it's like, you'll never be Hulk Hogan, and you'll never get another job. And I'm thinking to myself, hmm, I work 40 hours a week full-time for a nonprofit organization. I run my own business, but I'm never gonna have another job. Well, if this isn't having a job, I want the opposite. Yeah. Because but it's it's just funny. Like, and I don't even know these people. I've never heard from like just random pop-ups. And you're just gone. You're just I uh you're blocked. I I I just I don't need it. It's it's bad for my mental health.

SPEAKER_00 33:14

That's the spirit. Don't engage.

SPEAKER_02 33:17

Whereas the old me would have gone like eight paragraphs off on you and done a deep dive on what your problems were. You're just gone now.

SPEAKER_03 33:25

You should send them to me, let me have a crack at them.

SPEAKER_02 33:27

And I will gladly do that. Uh between you and my boy Dominic, they don't stand a chance. Boom. Boom. All right. Until next time, we got a lot more to talk about, but we'll get to it in the next episode. It's JoJo on the go. Go, go, go, go.

SPEAKER_04 33:41

Jojo on the Go is presented by Pizza Night Altuna.
