Wow. Jeremy, I didn't hear about Walker Bueller. Yeah, you did. It was just great. You did hear about Walker Bueller. Jeremy, I didn't hear about Walker Bueller. Yeah, you did. Just great. You did hear about Walker Bueller. No, but not last night's Walker Bueller. The worst game I heard about other Walker Bueller. But I didn't hear about this one.

Command on his two seam was incredible. His slider and cutter was moving like four inches up. Look at this guy. It was crazy. It's the worst trivia game Taylor's ever put together. Oh my god, it was a nightmare. Yeah. If you ask Walker Bueller, it was probably moving six inches. So that was a great. Seven problem. Massive. That was massive. Massive package. Oh my god. It was a nightmare. Yeah, you asked Walker Bueller was probably moving six inches

Massive slider great pitch clock and throughout it. I was wondering to myself Why this Halloween stuff was sticking to my phone and my jacket it is starting to get everywhere I told you so told you so. Yeah, you know, the little wisps, they do connect to things and then you have to kind of pull them off and then they get stuck to you and then you have to do this with your fingers. But I still like it. Is it worth it? It's spooky. And I did also notice that when I walked outside

those low hanging candles that you guys were talking about, they're low enough to hit me in the head. Well, it's a danger, I believe. They're candles, you said. Did your hair catch fire? No, I'm safe, thankfully. You live in a condo, though. You don't live in a house. So you don't have outdoor decorations.

No, an indoor house. You said too much already. Oh, wow, I'm sorry. You live between four walls. I don't have a yard. I can't put up a 12-foot skeleton. It's bullshit. She lives in Boca.

Do you do the indoor decorations out? Yeah, of course. I have my little gourds, my little pumpkins, my little string of garland. But that's really it. I don't know. Have you half-assed it this year? What?

Have you half-assed it this year? Was it better in other years? Yeah, I mean, it's hard because I want to have all these decorations. But then you need somewhere to put them in the off season. And I just don't have the space for crates full of Halloween decorations and I'm not gonna like buy decorations and then throw them away cuz that's a huge way. Plus then you need Thanksgiving decorations and Christmas decorations.

I've never had a Christmas tree before. You know what I've always wondered is why we can't wait you've never had a Christmas tree? I mean like when I was a kid but not since I've moved out of my parents house. So like last year you didn't have a Christmas tree? No I had like when I was a kid, but not since I moved out of my parents' house. So like last year, you didn't have a Christmas tree? No, I had like a tiny tinsel thing. I'm sorry, so you have not experienced true joy. I don't have anywhere to put it. There's plenty.

I mean, look, if you have four walls, I don't want to say where, you live in Florida. If you have four walls, you can fit a Christmas tree in there. Amen. And part of the whole appeal, actually, is the reason Christmas is at the end of the year. I know it's somebody's birthday,

but it's because at the end of the year, you get to celebrate the entire year. And all of that, to me, is about putting up Christmas decorations. I've got a three minute video of one year, right, of these Christmas decorations. They were off the charts. And if you haven't done that yet,

maybe that's why you don't like Miami very much. You haven't experienced Christmas yet. I never said I don't like Miami very much. You haven't experienced Christmas yet. I never said I don't like Miami very much. I don't like not being spooky. You haven't had to say it. You complain about the weather. Hey, I'm still here, all right? That is true.

Yeah, that is true. Four years of counting. You're still here, but the heat index is too high for you. But okay, can we do this together then? I just want it to be spooky, all right? And we finally made it spooky in here and everyone's complaining, including me five minutes ago. No, she's good.

All right, we're good. We can do scary Christmas. Like this is the thing about Christmas, there's all kinds of options. Yes, you can do a spooky Christmas. I'm actually considering- Nobody does a spooky Christmas. Everybody does a spooky Christmas.

Tim Burton did do it that one time. Yeah, my ex-mother-in-law loves the spooky Christmas. It's an odd person to call out. I was thinking of doing this year an upside down Christmas tree. Is that the deal breaker? You're like, spooky Christmas, you're gone. We're done, no.

Too much for me. But have you ever thought about doing it upside down? How do you do that though? You just drill it up into the ceiling? Yeah, you drill it into the ceiling and it's just a hanging Christmas tree. Where do you put the presents? I have a rule about drilling into the ceiling.

I'm dealing in one of my bathrooms with like one of these like you guys ever deal with this where it's like something's going on up there. The stains? Yeah. Like a little brown stain. I have a stain right now. I'm like, is it like my wife, my wife goes...

You have a leak in the roof. And this is me and my wife solving the problem. She goes, touch it. Is it soft? And I did. And it wasn't that soft. I'm like, we got a little time. Yeah.

Take a little time. I told you the story of my ceiling collapsing in the bathroom that I. It scares me now every time I walk by that. It was terrifying. Yeah. Take a picture of it. Exactly, take a picture of it.

The same handyman that helped me a few weeks ago with my toilet. Adonis. I'm gonna bring him on over and hey Adonis, can you take a look at that thing for me buddy? Thank you. All you gotta do is paint it a little bit and then you won't see the bronze.

Yeah, no, no, that's exactly what you're not supposed to do because that's when the ceiling will collapse in on you. Am I right, Roy? That is correct. You seem to know things about the house. Damn you. I know a little bit. You change the doorknobs and whatnot.

That's right. I've got a spot above the ceiling of the guest bathroom, and I just look at it, and I don't even touch it, Chris. I just look at it and I say, yeah, that's about the same size it was last time. Hasn't gotten any darker. Eyeball it. 100% how to handle it.

Of course. It should dry it up. Because the other option, and. Eyeball it. 100% how to handle it. Of course. You should dry it up. Because the other option, and thank you. The other option here, and this is, speaking of homeowners, this is something that's sort of, it's at my core here, it just really bugs me. Speaking to neighbors, like man. The worst.

I don't wanna have to do that. Oh God. Like our upstairs neighbors are the ones who are responsible for any sort of leak if it's coming down. And so the first time I knocked on her door and I was like, you got a leak in your bathroom. And she's like, OK, let me see. And I'm like, what?

Do you want to come into my house? And so she comes in and she looks at it and she's like, OK, I fix. And she goes back upstairs. And I love this lady, very lovely woman. I don't want to tell her, oh, you didn't do a good enough job. You got to fix it again.

And right now, our communications are just, hello, goodbye, have a good enough job, you gotta fix it again. And right now, our communications are just, hello, goodbye, have a nice day, that's it. I don't wanna get into any deeper conversations. Like, there was a guy who moved in across the hall six months ago, I have no idea who he is. Have still not met the man. Am I the only person in the world

afraid to speak to their neighbors? Don't you have a condo association? Yeah, those people are crazy. You can tell by the way I say hello to someone if we don't talk a lot. I just have like, hello. You do a silly voice if you don't know them. Hey, Greg.

You got on Zooms too. Hey, what's up, Greg? Like, flounder on Animal House. Hello. Yes, oh my goodness. That's a whole nother. If you find a Facebook group of the Homeowners Association, that might be the craziest people in the world.

We had one guy, and I'm not telling you where I live, it's somewhere in the United States. Yeah, this one guy, who is just flat out threatening people now that he's on the board. You're gonna see what happens now that are real. I'm just like, this is unbelievable. It's why I'm not on Facebook, but good lord, keep me away from homeowners associations.
