We're back. We're back. It's a distraction. I'm Drew. That's raw. That you doing, Roth.

I'm good, man. I'm locked in. I'm ready to pod.

We have our tree up. Let me tell you a little story about our tree.

We've had a fake tree for the past, I don't know, 10 or 15 years, right? And like, it's sort of, you know, it's a fake

tree, so it, you know, it deteriorates as a product. Like, she had a couple of fake needles. And

eventually my wife, she had to go and, like, remove all of the, like, the attached lighting

and, like, decorate, like, string the lights like it was a normal-ass Christmas tree.

And we've been using it and keeping it up in the attic for years and years and years.

And then this year, after my dad died, I said to her, I was like, you know what, why don't

we get like a nicer fake tree?

This one's looking a little ratty.

I want to, you know, I want to do, you know, Christmas is very important to me, so I'd like to do something a bit more sort of, you know, I'd like to do it up a little bit more.

She's like, okay, I'll, you know, I don't really care, but, you know, go out and, and, you know, buy one.

So it's your problem if you want to do it.

So I go to Home Depot. And because we haven't bought a Christmas

tree fake or real in many, many years, I actually did not know like what the fuck a Christmas tree

is supposed to cost anymore. Like, I don't know what anything is supposed to cost anymore.

Thanks Trump. But like, you know, like, because of the inflation stuff and all that, like, and because I'm old,

like I don't know what the fuck. I'm, you know, I'm like, I'm Lucille Bluth. I don't know what

I asked. Can I ask what you expected it cost? I expected a good fake tree to be like a couple

hundred bucks. And apparently there's like this like really prime brand called Balsam Hill.

Yeah.
