Over the last two days, my back is hurting, my thighs, everything is hurting on me. You old! Yeah, that too. I had sex. That's all I did. Now everything's broken. Now I—the last two days I've spent probably 20 plus hours creating a home theater area in my basement. So I had a projector, a nice like Sony projector, and I had like a Yamaha—you know, not super nice, but a new Yamaha surround sound—but I've had it sitting there for probably a year and a half, two years, and just never got a mount for the projector. And you know, so they're just like a little pile. I've had it just in a pot, a little pile of that. A couple of times I've taken it outside at the pool and do like movies out there on a big tarp thing. But like, like you do in Indiana, film absolutely—you're sitting in the pool drinking beer and eating barbecue and watching a big old movie. Hell yeah. But um, the tough shed film festival—that's actually, that could catch on. It's not a bad idea. Um, so yeah, I've had it in a pile, and my son moved out last weekend. We took him back to Purdue, got him into an apartment. Um, and I was like, I'm gonna take this space now because he had—we had his overflow bedroom suite and stuff down in the basement. But I'm like, look, he's gone. He's got his own apartment now. He can stay through the summers if he wants to, but if not, like, I saw this last hold of sleep on the couch most of the time and not his bed anyway over the summer while he was here. So we're putting it in storage. Like, I need my basement back. I want a theater room. And quite honestly, like, I'm way too emotional and seeing his bedroom stuff just sit there vacant—it's a trigger for me. Like, I get sad. And I don't want—so yeah, I ended up pulling it all out. Um, I still have to get some more stuff out. But went and I bought a mount for the projector. But then you hang it. Have you hung a projector? No, no. I don't have any sheds. So I have the drop ceiling—real classy—and the ceiling tile's right in the center of where I wanted to mount it. I pull up the ceiling tile. I was hoping for like a floor joist or a stud or something. No, no. It's just heating and air ducts right there. I'm like, shit. So I had to do a bracket around the heating and air ducts, then mount it, and then cut the drop ceiling so that it would—and Nicole the whole time is frustrated because she's like, this is just gonna look ghetto. Like, you're making—like, I know how you work, this is not going to match with her live laugh love signs. Like, she's like, this is—you're not an expert at this. So you, I'm surprised you were doing this yourself. This seems like the sort of thing you would contract. I mean, you contract epoxy floors. Why would you not contract this? Well, yeah, I don't know. Are pinball sales that down? I don't know if you know this, but I did just lose $60,000 with Haggis Pinball. This is post-Haggis fate. You're going to be inflating your above ground pool now. Zach on a budget here. So I was like, I told her, I'm like, look, that's a $30,000 job minimum. Like, it's just—that's how much it would be to have a company come in and really make you a cinema room. And I don't—I don't know if I'll use it that much. So let's just, you know, the wish.com, let's just tough shed this thing. And if we use it for a year, then okay, full Indiana, we'll get another L1 release out, and maybe we can afford to tighten up the—so, uh, so I mounted it all myself, me and my father-in-law, and he's getting up in age, so that's always a treat. And then the next day, I got one of the screens. So you have to put the screen together with the black velvet border and everything, you put that together, hang that, and then the joy of mounting all the speakers onto the ceiling, and then you've got to run all the wiring and the HDMI cords through all this. Oh, it was a pain in the ass. But is it done? It is done. Nice. It is done. We broken in last night watching a children's film. It wasn't Cru D's too, but it was a nice film. And I don't know what we're gonna watch tonight, but yeah, I got the whole 4K. It turned out pretty damn nice. And at the end of it, because Nicole went shopping with my mother and the girls that went shopping yesterday, and I finished it all up, set the ambiance—didn't do any candles or anything, but I really set it there. And I wanted to, you know, kind of gloat, like, I'll show you my budget abilities. And she came in, and Dennis, you know what? For a woman that's not big on compliments, she's more of an action type of person. She'll show me love rather than tell me that I'm worthy or worthwhile. She was like, you know what? This actually looks really good. Oh, my God, melted my little cinematic heart. And 2.85 to one anamorphic widescreen. So where do you watch movies? Do you watch movies at home? In my living room. Is it? How big of a one? You have like a 55, 70 inch? Yes. I don't know how big it is. That's what she said. It's an 80 inch. You went and got one of those big? No, I don't—I don't think it's that because, you know, at a certain point there's too large for how close you sit to it. So I tried to balance based off of where the chairs and couch are. I think it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 60, but I'm not okay—I'm not positive. I'm—we're definitely too close to my screen now, Nick. She was sweet enough not to say anything, but I knew as her eyes were scanning—I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah. If you're having to move your head to see all the parts of the scene, I would love that actually. There actually is a proportion. You can't just say I want the biggest thing that'll fit in the room, and that's what I did. I filled up the whole wall, but it looks fantastic. I can't wait for football. Football starting, Dennis? I know, I know, getting out of—I don't watch preseason. So we're finally getting out of that. Well, because none of the stars on the Chiefs even probably played during preseason? No, well, yeah, pretty much. No, they're still trying. As of the last game, there were still players that hadn't had any preseason game time. It was getting—I mean, it's like, how are you supposed to find out if you make the cut if you don't even get to catch a ball? Exactly. In Kansas City, there was an emerging running back for you guys, wasn't there? Yes. The odds of us three-peating are very low. I don't know. The system is designed that way. A lot of the best players, after getting a ring, other teams can throw a lot of money at them saying, we want you to get us a ring. We'll see. I don't think it'll be a bad season. This is going to be weird for me though, because half the games aren't even on Sunday because we're getting all these prime spots. I think we play every single day except Wednesday this year. You ever ever thought about going to a game? Why not go to a game? Yeah, it's—so it's so cold, loud, and no—it's pricey. It's loud. Have you been though? No. Oh, Dennis, I've never in person attended an NFL game anywhere. Oh wow. Only baseball. I got soccer once. But we need to fix that this year. Well, you know, I keep waiting for the Hunt family to invite me to the booth. Hey, Tay-Tay might invite us. You never know. Yeah, well, you know, we could talk. They might listen to our show. You never know. You know, I'm not—I don't think the Kelsey brothers ever mention us on their show, so I don't think we are high on their playlist. I had somebody from—was it from Lionsgate? Big executive, Lionsgate licensing and stuff, reach out. Um, he consumed our show. Um, I don't know if he's playing, but consumes our show, and he was talking about some kind of pinball deal and stuff like that. But um, I asked him, I was like, holy crap, but um, did you ever come on the show for license—like to discuss licensing stuff? So maybe that's a thing in the future. We do. The uh, one of the nicest non-pinball things I ever had someone who listened to us—and you know, they listened to the show, real big at Vanguard, and they thanked me once for what I had said about index funds on one of them. I think it was on EGP. I was like, yeah, that's right. Yeah, I know a little bit about taking care of my retirement. The index funds compliment from EGP. Yes, praise those index funds. You know, a big Vanguard staple is the index fund. Oh my God, that's fantastic. So yeah, I still haven't got that in for Epic Universe though. Yeah. Haven't drawn that in. I did get somebody reach out, and they were—they're an actual ride engineer of the new park. They are engineering the ride, and they are a consumer of pinball. So they were asking about the deal and stuff like that, and one of our listeners' family to them said, hey, you gotta check out Zach. He'll help you out with the game, but he might be able to hook you up if you hook him up. But that person does not yet have the authority. They don't have like the details on what they're gonna get, any perks or something like that. But um, well, I don't know. Maybe I'm still wanting to go. Who would you go to? Would you—does your dad watch football? Your mom like, who watches? Yeah, yeah, they all do. I didn't know if they were all big followers of the football. If you would go with your—my dad follows pretty, pretty you and your dad would go to the game then? Sure. Oh, nice.
