4
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: if your legacy is worth only five bucks, you're screwing up.

Speaker 1: That's the title of Shop Talk number thirty four. Don't

6
00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,360

Speaker 1: Right after these brief messages from our general sponsors, everybody,

00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: I love that thing, all right, Vita Scott. Vita Scott,

10
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: got your bill. In fact, we're putting a picture of

11
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: the bell up on social media, aren't we. Yeah?

12
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: Because why teller? I mean number one. It's cool too

13
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: as a Christmas president. But it also that it says

14
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 2: an army and normal folks on it.

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: Wow, so cool. Yeah. So you're putting that picture. So

16
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: if anybody wants to see the shop Talk bell when

17
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:09,200
Speaker 1: you enter the shop.

18
00:01:09,280 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 2: Follow us on social media. If you're follow us.

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 1: On social media and you're going to see the bell, wonderful.

20
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 1: So I'm going to die and so is everyone listening

21
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: to me? And I'm fifty six now, and it's interesting

22
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: how hard I've worked on my legacy and accumulating my legacy.

23
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: And then now as I'm a little older in my

24
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: twilight years, what's interesting is you go from a shift

25
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: of accumulation to worrying about who gets it. So you

26
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: work your life accumulating all this legacy, and then you

27
00:01:50,600 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: spend the twilight years of your life dividing it up

28
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: and making sure it's all fair in fact, and some

29
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: of you, like me, might actually employ someone and pay

30
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: them to write up documents to make sure everything's divided

31
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: up nice and fairlight. And then you croak. And when

32
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 1: you croak, about a week and a half, two weeks,

33
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: maybe a month after, you're put in the dirt or

34
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: cremated and put in a jar or whatever. Those people

35
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: that you divided up, the legacy that you worked your

36
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: entire life to accumulate, and the twilight years of your

37
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,359
Speaker 1: life dividing up nice and fair like, show up at

38
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: this attorney's office that you paid, and there's your legacy separated,

39
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,519
Speaker 1: in my case, into four subsets, which will be the Maggie,

40
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: the Molly, the Will, and the mix you forgot me.

41
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: Alex gets nothing. I'll leave you the bell you can

42
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: get the bell. Okay, it'll be divided up nice and fairlight.

43
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: And what will happen, and it happens all day, every day,

44
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,519
Speaker 1: is they will take the money. They will take the jewelry,

45
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 1: some of which they light wear, some of which they

46
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: might sell or melt down. And then all the other stuff,

47
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: and all the other stuff, this legacy that you've rt

48
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: your entire life to accumulate, in the twilight years of

49
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 1: your life, dividing up nice and fairlight. They might put

50
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: a piece of it in a room to remember you buy,

51
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,520
Speaker 1: typically that front room in your house. Some of you

52
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: put plastic on the sofa in that room, but it's

53
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: the room that pretty much never anybody ever goes into,

54
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: which when they put something to remember you buy in

55
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: a room that nobody ever goes into. I'm really sure

56
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,360
Speaker 1: how much remembrance is actually going on on your behalf,

57
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: because you're dead and they've got your money and your

58
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 1: jewelry and the other stuff they throw in boxes and

59
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: stick in the attic. That's the truth about the stuff

60
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: that we work our entire life to accumulate, and the

61
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: twilight years of our life divide up nice and fairlight.

62
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: So I got to tell you something about Christmas. I

63
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: grew up an apartment, never had a big family, and

64
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: as such, as a father, I've always enjoyed the day

65
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: after Thanksgiving, which in the Courtney household is Christmas decoration day.

66
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: I want it to last all day. I want Christmas

67
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: music playing. I want I want everybody in the boxes decorating.

68
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: I want to go do the Griswaldian thing. I want

69
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: to go cut down a tree. I want to trim it.

70
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: I want to put it in the stand and fight

71
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: that stupid thing and put the skirt around it, and

72
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: then decorate the tree. I want to spend all day

73
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: doing it. I think it's awesome. About six years ago,

74
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: we left the tree up too long and the needles

75
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: fell off the tree and they were all over the floor.

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: And Lisa got a brand new Electrolux vacuum cleaner and

77
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,080
Speaker 1: she was using it to clean up the needles and

78
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: it burnt the vacuum cleaner up and ruined it. That

79
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: was the last day we ever had a real Christmas tree.

80
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 1: So now we have a fake Christmas tree, which is

81
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: kind of communist. It's a communist tree, frankly, because it's

82
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: a fake tree and we've got it down to an art. Now, well,

83
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: we don't even undecorate this thing. We just put a

84
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 1: sheet around it and throw it up in the attic,

85
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: and then then Christmas time rolls around, we pull the

86
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: thing off, pull the sheet on, stratton out a couple

87
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: of light bulbs, and that's it. So what is supposed

88
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: to take all day to decorate for Christmas and be

89
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: this wonderful carol filled eggnog drinking festivities of family fun

90
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: now takes about twelve minutes. And there's a communist Christmas

91
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 1: tree sitting in a plastic tree sitting in the corner.

92
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: What makes a communist though?

93
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a real American Christmas because you're

94
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: not doing everything else. It's got to be communists. And

95
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean the stuff's probably made in China, in their

96
00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,039
Speaker 1: communist country, so it's communist Christmas tree. In fact, I

97
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: would bet everything with you.

98
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 2: I just wanted to hear you say it.

99
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: Well, I think every frank Christmas tree in the world

100
00:05:56,680 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: is probably made in China, like the other seventy percent

101
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 1: and the stuff we consume. But it's, you know, it.

102
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 2: Is a wood guy that just has to drive you

103
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 2: nuts too.

104
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's you know, and the other thing

105
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: is the guy making it probably has no idea why

106
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 1: he's making a tree. He's probably actually wondering why are

107
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: Americans buying these eight foot tall plastic facsimiles of something

108
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: they could go in the backyard and cut down.

109
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 2: You just offended half of our listeners.

110
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 1: I don't care. I'm offending my wife. It's Communists anyway.

111
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: That's how we do Christmas now, and it's disgusting. So

112
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: back to the division up of your legacy that you

113
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 1: forrtu your entire life to accumulate in the twilight years

114
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: of your life, dividing up nice and fairlight. Clearly, my

115
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:46,159
Speaker 1: children learn from their mother. So twenty years from now,

116
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: or twenty years after Lesa My's death, when the money

117
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,360
Speaker 1: is spent, the jewelry is worn, and all our legacy

118
00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: is a boxes in the attic, and my own children

119
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 1: start developing their own legacy. On Christmas, they're going to

120
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: be up there trying to get their I mean it's

121
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: Christmas tree out to have their fifteen minutes of Christmas

122
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,279
Speaker 1: decorating front, to take their sheet off their fake tree,

123
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: and they're not gonna be able to get to it

124
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: from all the boxes of legacy piled up, and it's

125
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 1: gonna be frustrating, and Maggie's gonna call Molly and they're

126
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: gonna be like, hey, I can't even get my communist

127
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: Christmas tree out and decorate for fifteen minutes for Christmas

128
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: because of all mom and Dad's legacy sitting up here

129
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: in these boxes, that legacy that we've worked our entire

130
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: life to accumulate, and the twilight years of our life

131
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: dividing up nice and fair light. And they're gonna call

132
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: each other and say, we got to do something about

133
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: all this stuff. And they're gonna have an idea. They're

134
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a garage. Well, no, they're not. No one

135
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 1: in America has groad sells. They're gonna have an estate sale.

136
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: It's true.

137
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 2: Well I think redneck's probably saw groad sales.

138
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, you just offended a third of our list.

139
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: I think in your neighborhood their estate sales.

140
00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: So attention all listeners. If you have had a quote

141
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 1: garage or yard sale, Alex thinks you're a redneck. That's

142
00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: what you just said.

143
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: You said nobody. I'm just saying. I think a lot

144
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 2: of normal people still have groad sales too.

145
00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 1: I think they have states.

146
00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: It's more fancy people like you who won't go on

147
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: Southwest than You can.

148
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: Email any time at Bill at normal folks dot us

149
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: and let me know if you have yard sales, groad sales,

150
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: or estate sales. So next shop talk, the next shop

151
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: talk will me that. So the first, the first spring day,

152
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 1: there it is, and all its glory, the legacy that

153
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: you've worked your entire life to accumulate, and the twilight

154
00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: years of your life divided up nice and fairlight spread

155
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 1: out on tables all over the front lawn with sheets

156
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 1: over it. And it used to be you'd put poster

157
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 1: boards up on telephone polls, but now it's you do

158
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: it on Facebook and online. But anyway you do. Four

159
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: family estate sale, all must go seventy three thirty one

160
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: day only on Saturday. And if you've ever had one

161
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: of these, remember it's seventy three thirty at six thirty.

162
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 1: Here she is, that's right, the lady driving a nineteen

163
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: eighty one Caprice Classic parked out on the curb. Molly

164
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: opens the door. Yes, are you having a garage sale? Yeah,

165
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: we are. That's why all this stuff's in the front

166
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 1: yard and over sleep deprived because you're setting this crap

167
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: all up all night. I'm sorry, this legacy up all night.

168
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 1: Molly follows the woman into the front yard and there

169
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:36,760
Speaker 1: it is, in all its glory, my legacy that I've

170
00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 1: worked my entire life to accumulate, and my twilight years

171
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 1: of my life divided up nice and fair like. And

172
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,679
Speaker 1: as the lady picks through the things, she finds it

173
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: on the third table in the middle. It's like a

174
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: golden chalice from Raiders of the Lost Dark ah like

175
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 1: coming up from it. It's a wicker basket from Peer

176
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: one nineteen eighty seven model, and it's got a little

177
00:09:57,800 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 1: tag hanging off of it and it says twenty bucks.

178
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: And that lady walks over to it, and she picks

179
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,959
Speaker 1: it up and looks at it, and she just thinks, oh,

180
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: I got to have this. And then she looks at

181
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: my air, who I've worked my entire life to accumulate

182
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,880
Speaker 1: my legacy, and then I worked the twilight years of

183
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 1: my life to divide up nice and fair like. And

184
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:20,319
Speaker 1: she looks at my air and she says, I can't

185
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:24,440
Speaker 1: pay you twenty, I'll give you five. And that air

186
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 1: makes a quick calculation, I either take five dollars for

187
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: this piece of crap basket I never wanted in the

188
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,160
Speaker 1: first place, or I got to box it up and

189
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: throw it back in my attic, and next year I

190
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: will still not be able to get my communist Christmas

191
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:41,440
Speaker 1: tree out. And she says sold. And the woman will

192
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 1: take that basket, that piece of your legacy. She'll take

193
00:10:45,400 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: the code hanger off the trunk, She'll throw it in

194
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:51,320
Speaker 1: the trunk, slam the trunk, put the code hanger back

195
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: on the trunk to keep it closed. She'll turn the ignition,

196
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:58,360
Speaker 1: mash the gas on her eighty one capriese Classic exhaust

197
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 1: goes everywhere because every eighty one priest Classic needs a

198
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: ring job, and she's gonna drive as fast as she

199
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 1: can to the next dead guy's power crap in somebody's

200
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: front yard. And friends, that happens every Saturday of every month,

201
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: across our country all the time. Is that it our legacy?

202
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: Five bucks. Albert Pike was a freemason many many decades ago,

203
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: and he said this, what you do for yourself and

204
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:43,240
Speaker 1: this life dies with you. What you do for another

205
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: lasts forever and remains immortal. What it might add to

206
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: that is when you give of your time, yourself, your effort,

207
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:02,560
Speaker 1: your riches. You can do that while you're living, and

208
00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:07,160
Speaker 1: you can witness the appreciation of your legacy rather than

209
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 1: leaving it after you're dead. And you can leave it

210
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,240
Speaker 1: in totality to one hundred percent of the people you

211
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: come in contact with, and you don't have to divide

212
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: it up, but you can give that all to everyone,

213
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: and you can see the rewards of that legacy, your

214
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 1: legacy of your service, the legacy of your philanthropy, the

215
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: legacy of your time, the legacy of giving. That's the

216
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:41,199
Speaker 1: beauty of a true legacy built on service and commitment

217
00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: and care and concern for your fellow man. You don't

218
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 1: have to divide it up, and you don't have to

219
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: leave it after you're dead, and therefore you can experience

220
00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:55,080
Speaker 1: it while you're giving it. Our legacy's got to be

221
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: worth more than five bucks, folks, and you have an

222
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,439
Speaker 1: opportunity to build that legac see and share that legacy today,

239
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 2: percent or artificial right now.

240
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: Then sixty four percent of the people celebrated Communist Christmas.

241
00:14:07,200 --> 00:14:09,920
Speaker 1: Did you just look that up? Yeah, that is ridiculous.

242
00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:12,320
Speaker 1: Sixty four percent Is that really.

243
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: One of those who buy trees? So, I mean there's

244
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 2: actually a decent amount, and who aren't buying them too?

245
00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 1: Well? Okay, So at the end, the call is this,

246
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,239
Speaker 1: go back to a real American Christmas, but put plastic

247
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: crap up in the corner.

248
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,400
Speaker 2: Of your swearing geez who swore crap.

249
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Come on, give me a break.

250
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 2: PBS actually has a breakdown of how Republicans and Democrats

251
00:14:35,920 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: by trees.

252
00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: What is it? I'm not even I want to guess,

253
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna guess. I want you to read it. Well,

254
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing, Republicans being more rule. I would bet

255
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: more Republicans have real trees. That's not a thing, but

256
00:14:50,400 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: here it is. Okay, Oh my gosh, I cannot believe

257
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 1: this pull exists.

258
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,600
Speaker 2: I wasn't looking for that, but that's what popped up.

259
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 1: Artificial fifty five percent, tree, twenty two percent, real tree

260
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: twenty one percent. That's a total of ninety eight percent.

261
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 1: So two people are not living. But anyway, you ready

262
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: for this Democrats real tree? Oh my gosh, I was wrong.

263
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: I'm so proud of the Democrats. Twenty four percent of

264
00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: Democrats have real trees, sixteen percent of Republicans. Forty four

265
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,200
Speaker 1: percent of Democrats have artificial trees. Sixty three percent of

266
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:30,640
Speaker 1: Republicans have artificial trees, Twenty six percent of Democrats have

267
00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: no trees. Twenty one percent of Republicans have no trees.

268
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:38,800
Speaker 1: So the Democrats are absolutely kicking the Republicans. But on
