12.5 - Star Wars Painting vs. Tiny Vase: The Ultimate "Show and Tell" Home Decor Battle · Arguing Ever After

• 0:15
  Welcome everyone to Arguing Ever After.
• 0:19
  So for this episode, we've decided that we're not going to
• 0:22
  put it in the regular episode lineup, though it will count
• 0:26
  towards the overall wins and losses.
• 0:29
  Yep, Yep. We wanted to make sure that we
• 0:31
  can always have content for you coming out regularly, so this is
• 0:36
  a bonus episode. We are the Lord and Lady who
• 0:41
  lock horns. The count and Countess of
• 0:44
  contention. The Duke and Duchess of
• 0:46
  Disagreement. And the king and queen of
• 0:49
  quarrels. We have been together since high
• 0:51
  school in the 1990s, we've been married for over 20 years, and
• 0:56
  we've argued about practically everything.
• 0:58
  And yet still, somehow, we're able to stay happily together.
• 1:02
  We have a teenage daughter who doesn't yet hate us, and most of
• 1:05
  our families still talks to us on purpose.
• 1:08
  All in all, pretty darn good. Every day, all over the world,
• 1:12
  couples are fighting battles based on molehills that don't
• 1:15
  matter. And sometimes mountains that
• 1:19
  send spouses to go sleep on couches and keep the chocolate
• 1:22
  companies and facial tissue giants in business.
• 1:26
  In this entertainment only podcast, we will bicker about
• 1:28
  all things big and small and the audience gets the final say in
• 1:32
  who the winner is. We do not claim to be
• 1:35
  relationship experts by any means, but if we can have
• 1:38
  meaningless arguments and still like each other, why not give it
• 1:42
  a listen? We will quarrel about topics
• 1:45
  which are frequently submitted by our listeners, so if you have
• 1:48
  any idea that you want us to argue about, please e-mail it to
• 1:51
  arguingeverafter@gmail.com and we could cross swords over it so
• 1:58
  you could have a preview of how it might sound in your own
• 2:00
  relationship. Perhaps this completely
• 2:03
  unscientific method of letting the masses decide can settle
• 2:07
  your fight before you even have it.
• 2:08
  OK. Well, today's discussion, we are
• 2:14
  going through our limited list of topics.
• 2:16
  Again, if you have any topics, please send them to us at
• 2:19
  gmailorwhateverarguingeverafter@gmail.com. But we're looking through and
• 2:25
  there was a topic that I had on there that Luke was trying to
• 2:30
  figure out why I put it on there.
• 2:31
  And the topic is Knick Knacks or.
• 2:37
  Tchotchkes. Or baubles items around the
• 2:40
  house. We all end up collecting things
• 2:45
  whether we mean to collect them or not collect them.
• 2:48
  But I know everyone has objects that they didn't expect to ever
• 2:54
  have in their house. For sure, being a couple, it's
• 3:00
  interesting because you come in with different tastes.
• 3:05
  Although we've been together for a really, really long time, I
• 3:09
  would say that most of my items or look likes.
• 3:16
  OK. I could be wrong on that but I
• 3:19
  think most of them that we've especially gotten together since
• 3:22
  we've been together. He seems like pretty on board
• 3:25
  forgetting, am I wrong? Not about all of the things.
• 3:31
  Sometimes I just play along because there's you know why?
• 3:35
  Why I make waves? We are known when we go places
• 3:43
  to pick up souvenirs frequently and really, I really don't think
• 3:47
  that Luke's had any issues with any souvenirs that we've gotten.
• 3:51
  However, what kind of made me put it on the list is seeing all
• 3:57
  of the action figures that Luke has.
• 4:03
  Crossing a line. And very specific to one
• 4:09
  category of action figures. And I'm going to say it's Star
• 4:16
  Wars. Luke is a Star Wars fan.
• 4:21
  For sure as is. The world I have no.
• 4:26
  Mm hmm. Go ahead, dig your hole.
• 4:27
  I have no issues with Luke being a Star Wars fan.
• 4:30
  Oh, that's how we're phrasing it.
• 4:33
  That is how we're phrasing it. But I don't understand how you
• 4:39
  could have Star Wars ingrained in everything.
• 4:44
  And it is not just action figures, just that this is the
• 4:47
  action figure or bobble head or whatever, whatever it is.
• 4:52
  I mean, you literally have bobble heads.
• 4:55
  Maybe like one or two that you probably got for me.
• 4:58
  I don't know where you think I acquired mine, but it wasn't off
• 5:00
  the shelf for personal satisfaction.
• 5:03
  Anyhow, but you have them displayed, which is fine.
• 5:07
  But what I was what I was getting to is I don't understand
• 5:10
  how there can be so many tchotchke items that are Star
• 5:16
  Wars that it leaks over into holidays.
• 5:20
  You'll have Darth Vader for Christmas, Darth Vader for
• 5:24
  Halloween, which I get that one Easter Yoda I mean, just pick a
• 5:31
  holiday and there's a possible doll action figure item that
• 5:37
  goes with it for Star Wars you've.
• 5:39
  Got to be careful we're about to have a Star Wars debate instead
• 5:41
  of. Not having Star Wars debate.
• 5:43
  So what I'm going to talk about now is so we have these little
• 5:49
  things around and. They'll let us know if you're
• 5:51
  ready for a Star Wars debate I. I will lose, I promise.
• 5:54
  She's going down. I know, I know.
• 5:56
  I actually concede that I will lose on a Star Wars debate.
• 5:59
  But the items themselves, I'm not necessarily thinking I'm
• 6:02
  going to lose on because they're kind of tacky to have just
• 6:08
  laying around and Luke kind of notices like he'll have it
• 6:14
  somewhere and then I'll kind of put it in his face, you know,
• 6:18
  like by his side of the bed that I can't see so he can enjoy
• 6:22
  them, but I don't have to look at them.
• 6:28
  So is there any items that you want to talk about that I have?
• 6:32
  I this is just so I put it on the list based on that.
• 6:35
  So you don't want to talk about the painting?
• 6:37
  Oh, that's going to be my end thing.
• 6:39
  I'm not. We're saving.
• 6:39
  That later. That's a part of our vote.
• 6:41
  Perfect. OK, that's great.
• 6:43
  So we're just talking about knickknacks.
• 6:45
  OK, OK, I'm just going to. I'm going to bring the audience
• 6:48
  into it, myself included. How many y'all out there wonder
• 6:53
  why your wives bought so many vases, plates and pictures that
• 6:58
  they're never going to use? They're up on a wall to just be
• 7:02
  there so that, like, I don't know, other people come in the
• 7:05
  house and they go, oh, look, they have plates, vases and
• 7:09
  pitchers. They must be a fine, fine
• 7:12
  family. Like, what was it that happened
• 7:15
  in our society where publicly displaying the things which you
• 7:19
  would use to consume food and beverages on the wall has become
• 7:24
  a societal norm that's accepted by people and even perpetuated
• 7:28
  through the generations? I don't get it.
• 7:31
  It makes no sense to me at all. Like someone's going to be like,
• 7:34
  come in your house and go, oh, you have a beautiful plate
• 7:38
  collection, Please let's talk about it.
• 7:41
  That doesn't happen. We've had people over to our
• 7:43
  house for years and years and years.
• 7:46
  Never once have I ever had somebody want to strike up a
• 7:49
  conversation about a vase. See, my dog agrees with me.
• 7:51
  He heard me getting animated and he said, Yup, let's get in on
• 7:54
  that. So that's one of my issues.
• 7:57
  Why do we have so many of them and why are they on the wall?
• 8:00
  And where do they all come from? But then I mean, the acquisition
• 8:04
  of these things, it's like it's a, it's a whole nother subset of
• 8:08
  life. Like you got to go to antique
• 8:09
  shows, you got to go to trade fairs, you got to go to like
• 8:14
  swap meets and all kinds of different things to acquire
• 8:18
  different plates, pitchers and bases.
• 8:22
  And then you know what you're going to do with them.
• 8:23
  They're going to go in the same place as the ones you have.
• 8:25
  They're going to sit up there on a shelf somewhere and you're
• 8:28
  going to look at them like I'm doing right now, looking at some
• 8:30
  of the stuff in this room and wonder, huh, I wonder why we
• 8:33
  have that thing. I'm just saying the whole
• 8:37
  category as it stands is a little strange.
• 8:41
  OK, I'm going to discuss sometimes some people.
• 8:48
  I get extra points for the dog. No, you don't.
• 8:50
  He's he would come to me if I called him.
• 8:52
  So sometimes people have things that make that they look at that
• 8:57
  makes them happy because they're pretty or they do serve a
• 9:03
  function. Right now I hear what you're
• 9:05
  saying about all of the vases, and I was so glad you went
• 9:09
  there. Oh, good.
• 9:10
  Because what vases? What are they supposed to do?
• 9:13
  Hold flowers. So if the problem is that
• 9:17
  they're not holding flowers. Oh please.
• 9:19
  We should get more flowers. Flowers are beautiful.
• 9:22
  Who doesn't want more flowers in the house?
• 9:24
  So I am prepared for all the flowers that will come into the
• 9:28
  house. Are we having a funeral anytime
• 9:31
  soon in the house? No, you need 25 vases.
• 9:35
  Different. OK, OK.
• 9:37
  You need different size vases depending on the flowers.
• 9:41
  So like if you have one single flower, you're going to have a
• 9:44
  smaller vase than if you have a huge bouquet.
• 9:47
  If they're taller flowers, they need to be in a taller vase.
• 9:49
  If they're short flowers then they need to be in a short vase,
• 9:52
  which I don't really get them any short flowers.
• 9:54
  You know what you could do? You could take all the vases you
• 9:56
  want to have and put them in a vase closet somewhere and just
• 10:00
  pull out the correct receptacle for the time at hand When I get
• 10:03
  you flowers, because by the way, you don't get me flowers.
• 10:05
  I like flowers. And two, when you put all those
• 10:08
  things away from the wall, you would have space on the wall to
• 10:10
  hang a nice large decorative painting.
• 10:12
  Just thoughts just throwing out there.
• 10:17
  We will get back to that painting.
• 10:18
  Oh, we will. Oh we will.
• 10:20
  So, but like I think that the vases themselves that I have are
• 10:24
  pretty so looking at those. They're not unpretty, I agree.
• 10:30
  OK. So I don't really see again an
• 10:33
  issue with those items. They're not unpretty.
• 10:37
  There's nothing else that you're going to be putting into that
• 10:39
  place. I do, kind of.
• 10:41
  Paintings. That's an option for things that
• 10:43
  go on walls. I mean, that's literally it's
• 10:46
  like a it's this, this, it's not maybe this much space.
• 10:50
  Like I don't know. What is that 3 feet, 3 feet of
• 10:53
  space on one wall and a foot of space on another that is holding
• 10:58
  faces? Now, if you're talking about
• 11:00
  mantels, it's not unusual for people to have stuff on their
• 11:04
  Mantel. And display tables.
• 11:06
  And I we don't even have a display table.
• 11:08
  Oh yeah. And curious, yeah, but we.
• 11:10
  Don't have a curio cap, now we do.
• 11:11
  Have a shelf in the corner. Sure.
• 11:15
  Sort of like a curio just doesn't have the glass thing.
• 11:18
  It's a shelved unit in the corner of a room that is holding
• 11:21
  Knick knacks. OK, what's wrong with this?
• 11:24
  I'm just pointing out that we have more than you said briefly,
• 11:26
  like, oh, we just have a couple little quick little things on
• 11:30
  the wall. I was just adding into the lots
• 11:33
  of other places that we have, like the mantels.
• 11:35
  We got two of those and then we got 2 little shelved units in
• 11:40
  this room. We got a a tower in the corner
• 11:43
  of one room, a table in the middle of another room.
• 11:45
  I mean, there's a lot of places that that have some Knick
• 11:48
  knacks, yes, around. Yes, I have no problems but
• 11:53
  there being a lot of knickknacks around.
• 11:55
  Do you? Let's talk about problems.
• 11:58
  First of all, you have so many knickknacks that you've acquired
• 12:02
  at so many places that you bought a special knickknack that
• 12:08
  you now keep to remind yourself not to buy too many knickknacks
• 12:14
  because you don't even like it. Absolutely, absolutely.
• 12:18
  I think we all should keep a reminder of a mistake made to
• 12:22
  not do it again. Just in the house.
• 12:25
  Just keep it like you couldn't remember.
• 12:28
  I mean, could, could you not? Could you not remember?
• 12:31
  I mean, I was definitely on an antique shopping spree for a
• 12:35
  little bit there. I would go with lots of people
• 12:38
  to antique shows and, you know, I would find something and I'd
• 12:41
  be like, great, can I get a good deal on it?
• 12:43
  And if I get a good deal on it and if it at that time caught my
• 12:45
  eye, I'd pick it up. Absolutely.
• 12:49
  This time it absolutely caught my eye.
• 12:52
  I got a great price on it which I couldn't even tell you today
• 12:55
  what it is. Great price.
• 12:56
  I also purchased a few other things that day.
• 13:00
  So I think I had like that shopping spree blindness.
• 13:05
  You know, I feel like people do this in general, and I could be
• 13:09
  wrong, where you just go shopping and you're like, oh,
• 13:11
  I'm going to go buy shirts or whatever the item is.
• 13:14
  And then they just buy 7 of something because it's what's in
• 13:16
  their mind that they're going to buy.
• 13:17
  That's. Probably why people invented the
• 13:19
  mall. Absolutely.
• 13:20
  Maybe they got you on a run. They're like, well, they're
• 13:22
  going. They're going right.
• 13:24
  Put some more stores in front of.
• 13:25
  Them right, they're shopping, why won't they buy more?
• 13:27
  So this is what happened. At that time I bought probably
• 13:30
  way too many items and when I got home and I was like
• 13:34
  unwrapping my hall, I looked and I was like, it is a vase and it
• 13:44
  is colourful and I hadn't seen anything like the design on it
• 13:51
  before, but I didn't you're right.
• 13:54
  I didn't actually like it. I know why it's jumped out at me
• 13:58
  there because like that's usually how I will go antique
• 14:01
  shopping. This is probably a lot of fun
• 14:02
  for our listeners to hear about. But you know, it's just like
• 14:05
  what jumps out at you because I'm not like a like dig deep
• 14:08
  into things like I'm just like how?
• 14:10
  And I'm also. That's gross, right?
• 14:14
  I don't want to do that. I.
• 14:15
  Don't want to do that, but like I do like just kind of walking
• 14:18
  through and seeing what is actually going to jump out at
• 14:21
  me. So that's, that's how I shop.
• 14:23
  Anyhow, this thing jumped out at me and I didn't at the time of
• 14:26
  Reddit. Today I do and it's just a
• 14:28
  lesson for the future. I do try to have a thought of if
• 14:33
  I'm buying something, something needs to leave.
• 14:36
  In general, I don't like too much clutter in our house, so
• 14:41
  that is why when you have something that I don't like,
• 14:44
  that comes into the house I have.
• 14:47
  Something that you don't like? Yes.
• 14:49
  This doesn't apply both directions.
• 14:51
  I'm just talking. OK.
• 14:52
  I just wanted to make that clear that this is a one way street.
• 14:55
  I'm sure. OK, sure.
• 14:57
  I'm saying for me, when you have something that I don't like, I
• 15:01
  think of it and then as clutter. Oh, we could talk about clutter
• 15:05
  for a whole episode too. Wait.
• 15:07
  Yes, we can. I called my family human
• 15:11
  cluttered. Yes, you did I.
• 15:14
  Cannot. We're in the way.
• 15:16
  Why were they there in the way when I was trying to do other
• 15:18
  stuff? Anyway and we're back, we had to
• 15:21
  remove our wonderful dog Toblerone.
• 15:24
  He was being too cute and distracting for us to have a
• 15:26
  real argument. Also, while we were away, we've
• 15:28
  decided to add in some show and tell to this episode.
• 15:33
  So, Luke, let me ask you a question.
• 15:37
  And now, the moment you've all been waiting for in this corner,
• 15:41
  we have Amber claiming to weigh in at 135 lbs.
• 15:44
  She has over 25 years of practice in the art of
• 15:47
  insignificant lover spats and is armed with her amazing wit which
• 15:50
  she will need today. And in this corner, we have Luke
• 15:54
  at his prime weight of 185 lbs. Plus, he's sporting a luxurious
• 15:59
  red beard, and he's been arguing since he was born to a very
• 16:03
  competitive family. Now, Luke, let me ask you a
• 16:07
  question. If there was one item in this
• 16:12
  house that you could remove, what would it be?
• 16:19
  Well, I have an answer. I just want you to know, I don't
• 16:21
  think it's fair that I have to pick one, but but it would be
• 16:27
  the very ridiculous tiny base that we alluded to earlier in
• 16:34
  the episode that you keep to remind yourself that you don't
• 16:37
  like it. You're actually keeping
• 16:40
  something you don't want on purpose.
• 16:43
  That's the contention for me. Why is it in our house?
• 16:48
  And do you have something you'd like to remove?
• 16:51
  Yes, very much so for this item. I was talking about Star Wars on
• 16:59
  purpose for knickknacks, and I think the best thing, I will
• 17:05
  describe it for our listeners, but for our viewers, the best
• 17:10
  thing we could do is show it Agreed.
• 17:13
  So let's one moment pause. It'll be seamless for you.
• 17:17
  Little pause. Here we go.
• 17:18
  OK, we're back from the pause. All right, so this would be the
• 17:22
  item of Luke's that I would like removed from the house.
• 17:29
  No. This is some sort of Star Wars
• 17:32
  scene. These are Star Giant Star Wars
• 17:37
  walking items. Walkers.
• 17:39
  Walkers with a girl who's probably in this painting.
• 17:44
  This painting is maybe 4 feet tall, 6 feet wide.
• 17:49
  I would say this woman in the painting is at least three feet
• 17:54
  tall. And in the painting, this is a
• 17:57
  mixed media painting. She's got coil metal curls in
• 18:02
  her hair that are sticking out. It's copper.
• 18:04
  And Luke called me when he picked this up and said don't
• 18:07
  worry, Amber, don't. Worry.
• 18:11
  I can remove the gear right here.
• 18:15
  About the size of a dime is a tiny gear.
• 18:19
  He thought that that would be the issue.
• 18:23
  When I have this. Ginormous picture here that this
• 18:27
  one little thing would be why I wouldn't let it hang up on our
• 18:32
  wall. Not to mention the fact I don't
• 18:34
  know that we have a wall large enough for this and I wouldn't
• 18:37
  want it anyhow. So that's my item and we will
• 18:40
  discuss further at some point. But look, would you like to show
• 18:44
  them your item? In a moment, first, I just want
• 18:48
  to point out a couple of things for the true fans and for people
• 18:51
  who like legitimately new and fantastic art.
• 18:55
  First of all, you've pointed out that it's mixed media.
• 18:57
  We have like obviously the painter did some vertical drips
• 19:02
  that way, then rotated it and put this painting over the top.
• 19:07
  I want to point out that she has two leashes.
• 19:09
  She has her little heart spider friend, which is awesome, and
• 19:13
  then she also has this leash which goes to the head, so it's
• 19:18
  like her little buddy. And just for fun, he's drooling
• 19:22
  a little bit right there, just like our best friend did that we
• 19:25
  had to remove from the episode. EW, I did not even realize that
• 19:29
  was drool. Well.
• 19:30
  They don't drool but in this. That's disgusting.
• 19:33
  This is her best friend, and sometimes your best friend rules
• 19:35
  a little bit and that's. OK, disgusting.
• 19:38
  And that's all the points I feel like I need to make.
• 19:41
  This is a fantastic piece of Star Wars art that any true fan
• 19:44
  would probably love to have. I imagine its value to be
• 19:47
  enormous. I don't actually know, but it
• 19:49
  would not surprise me if this was in some sort of Star Wars
• 19:52
  art exhibition. If someone would purchase this
• 19:55
  for north of $1000, feel free to tell me I'm wrong people.
• 19:58
  I don't necessarily doubt that someone might pay that, but we
• 20:05
  don't. I don't want to pay anything.
• 20:08
  I would pay to have this removed from the house.
• 20:10
  This does not. This does not even fit in my
• 20:12
  vehicle. Because you're going to.
• 20:14
  Lose. This does not happen.
• 20:15
  It does not. It did not fit in my vehicle
• 20:17
  either. I had to use a pickup truck.
• 20:18
  Yes, that's how big his eyesore of an item.
• 20:22
  Nope. Artist's objective.
• 20:23
  I get that. Beautiful, beautiful artist's
• 20:26
  rendition. It's too much.
• 20:27
  Love and science fiction it's. Too much, it's too much.
• 20:33
  It's too much. Now, would you like to show the
• 20:36
  item that you want removed of mine?
• 20:39
  Yes, the tiny vase that that you.
• 20:41
  Can you go find it? No problem, I'm going to switch
• 20:46
  sides. OK, OK, I'm.
• 20:47
  Going to get a little closer so you guys can see this.
• 20:50
  This is a vase that was picked up at some, I don't know,
• 20:57
  antique show. It has little flowers and little
• 21:01
  little painted circly deals. It probably would hold maybe 1
• 21:07
  flower. OK.
• 21:08
  And the reason this is in our house isn't because someone
• 21:11
  loves it like I love the Star Wars painting, or because it's
• 21:14
  beautiful. It's because she thinks that she
• 21:17
  should keep a thing that she doesn't actually want.
• 21:22
  I didn't say I don't want it, I said I don't necessarily like
• 21:26
  it. But again, you see the size
• 21:29
  difference. Luke earlier was talking about a
• 21:32
  vase closet, which we don't happen to own.
• 21:34
  If anyone is wondering. We aren't quite that bougie yet.
• 21:38
  But this would fit into a vase closet.
• 21:44
  This doesn't fit in anything. Everybody knows bigger is
• 21:50
  better. That is not always the case when
• 21:53
  it's something you're trying to get rid of.
• 21:55
  Hide Shove under a bed or something?
• 21:58
  Just so you people know our our friends listen to this.
• 22:02
  She doesn't even want it in the house so bad that it first lived
• 22:06
  in our outdoor patio sitting area which is covered.
• 22:11
  So it wasn't subjected to the elements.
• 22:13
  Don't worry. But but it didn't have the right
• 22:16
  mounting. So then what I had to do was
• 22:19
  take it from that area because she still didn't like it.
• 22:22
  No, that's my space that I use a lot.
• 22:24
  Her space just let's be clear it's everything in the house is
• 22:26
  her space from home. It ended up in the garage.
• 22:30
  Now I did hang it in such a way that every time I pull into the
• 22:33
  garage front center right in front of me is this beauty and I
• 22:36
  get to see it in all of its glory every time I come home
• 22:40
  from anywhere. So at least I get to see it, but
• 22:43
  the fact that it's been relegated to a place of things
• 22:47
  that everyone really doesn't need or want to see.
• 22:50
  See how big this thing is? It's.
• 22:52
  In the garage, people. This thing is so flipping big.
• 22:56
  This little vase here, did you know he didn't even realize I
• 22:59
  had this? That's how small it was.
• 23:01
  He had to go looking around the house to try to find something
• 23:05
  that he didn't like. He said he doesn't like my Knick
• 23:07
  knacks. He didn't.
• 23:08
  Know. He didn't.
• 23:11
  He couldn't even come up with a good one.
• 23:13
  This one he hardly found. So I think what we're going to
• 23:17
  do now is pause this, take away this ginormous eyesore so that.
• 23:22
  Masterpiece. I'm sorry a work.
• 23:25
  Of art. So can we pause it for one
• 23:27
  minute? So we're back from our minor
• 23:30
  pause to remove the beautiful work of art and the tiny silly
• 23:34
  vase so that we could finish our debate.
• 23:38
  Yes, I'm thinking for again, those who can't view, I hope you
• 23:43
  actually go and look at this podcast to get a real true
• 23:46
  understanding of what we're talking about.
• 23:49
  The one thing is less than 8 inches tall, super small.
• 23:55
  Maybe that's even put it up there.
• 23:59
  And the other thing is is like it's larger than a fitting room.
• 24:04
  It's so huge. Therefore, the awfulness that my
• 24:12
  eye sees is so much more than what he could possibly see with
• 24:17
  a vase that he didn't even realize was there that had been
• 24:21
  there, by the way, like 7 years. So I will say that certainly
• 24:28
  one, and it would be the picture should be the thing to go.
• 24:33
  And I understand what you're saying about art and fine art.
• 24:36
  There might be someone out there who really does appreciate it
• 24:39
  like me. There might be two people.
• 24:41
  There might be a household that really, really appreciates it.
• 24:44
  But in this household, it is not serving its artistic function
• 24:51
  for the whole household. It's not you're properly
• 24:53
  appreciated. You're right.
• 24:55
  So that's my my thought. Well, I would like to point out
• 24:59
  a few things that I imagine our viewership will side with me on.
• 25:06
  1st, you're right about it's not being properly adored.
• 25:11
  And because we live together and even though we're going to let
• 25:15
  the people vote on this, First of all, I just want everyone to
• 25:17
  know I'm not actually going to get rid of this if you vote
• 25:18
  against me because you're traitors.
• 25:20
  But, but I would consider selling it.
• 25:24
  Not that I need to sell it, I just want to be clear about
• 25:26
  that. But it probably deserves a
• 25:28
  better place than in my garage. It probably deserves to be
• 25:31
  mounted beautifully on someone's Great Wall in their home.
• 25:34
  Someone who truly loves Star Wars.
• 25:36
  And the price could be discussed.
• 25:40
  I don't know what it's worth, but it's a lot.
• 25:43
  We're not trying to sell our here everybody.
• 25:45
  I don't know what he's we're. Moving on, I'm just pointing out
• 25:47
  that it's not being properly appreciated now.
• 25:49
  Next, other reasons this piece of art that I own should win
• 25:55
  this debate. One, it's from arguably one of
• 25:59
  the greatest, if not the greatest film sagas of all time.
• 26:06
  I don't. I mean, there might be other.
• 26:07
  It might be. It probably is the greatest film
• 26:09
  saga of all time. Currently it's at 9 full length
• 26:12
  movies and I don't know how many spin offs, but there's a bunch
• 26:15
  of spin offs. Oh my God, you're not falling
• 26:17
  asleep you liar liar pants on fire.
• 26:21
  Second, the acquisition of this item came from a friend of mine.
• 26:28
  OK, and that is one of the reasons I like it so much.
• 26:33
  It wasn't just something I came upon that I acquired with money.
• 26:37
  Now, I probably wouldn't have bought it because I would have
• 26:41
  known that my darling wife would be like, first of all, why did
• 26:44
  you buy something so big? And second of all, why did you
• 26:46
  spend money on it? But here we are.
• 26:49
  So I have this. It's amazing.
• 26:53
  And there's no way that the thing that one of us actually
• 26:57
  likes and wants to keep is the thing that should be voted off
• 27:00
  the island, so to speak. You have a thing that you don't
• 27:04
  like and want to keep. And when I said, what is this?
• 27:07
  You said, oh, I bought it. And then when I got home, I
• 27:09
  realized I didn't like it as much.
• 27:11
  So I keep it as a reminder to myself to not buy things I don't
• 27:14
  like. That should be a sufficient
• 27:17
  enough argument for our guests to decide what to do.
• 27:22
  OK. For me, case closed.
• 27:25
  My my base is not awful, it's just not my favorite thing.
• 27:29
  And I will say you were talking about sentimental stuff.
• 27:33
  My base serves as a memory of actually going to an antique
• 27:39
  show with a friend as well. So it also has its purpose there
• 27:45
  in that. Now, however, I would if that
• 27:49
  left the house, I would that. You're talking about the
• 27:53
  painting, which is in that direction, so.
• 27:55
  Yeah, I would get rid of the vase.
• 27:57
  Oh yeah, So you would remove art that I enjoy for art that you do
• 28:02
  not? What a compromise.
• 28:05
  I think we know what's going on here, people.
• 28:07
  Compromise is good, but if since we did not say we could
• 28:11
  compromise and only one could stay, it should be the thing
• 28:15
  that could go in a vase closet, not something that cannot fit
• 28:20
  anywhere reasonably. So that was the debate.
• 28:26
  Mm Hmm. Now you get to vote who won
• 28:29
  today's match? Comment on the poll and we'll
• 28:32
  tally responses by by the next episode.
• 28:35
  This is a bonus episode, so you know, whatever the vote ends up
• 28:38
  being, it's going to get thrown into another thing, but we'll
• 28:41
  put on this episode who won and who didn't so it.
• 28:45
  Does count toward the win loss? Count.
• 28:47
  Absolutely, Absolutely, absolutely so so.
• 28:52
