We Share The Wild Truth About Black Friday And Smarter Ways To Shop
The turkey isn’t even cold yet and the group chat is already asking who’s lining up for doorbusters. We pull back the curtain on Black Friday with first-hand stories from the retail floor, from walkie-coordinated openings to the hard lessons that taught stores how to keep crowds safe. If you’ve ever wondered whether that 3 a.m. sprint is worth it, we’ve got the context, the cautionary tales, and smarter strategies that actually save money without sacrificing sleep.
We explore how the frenzy evolved: midnight openings fading, Cyber Monday swelling, and mobile checkout turning couches into checkouts. But it’s not just tech and timing. We dig into what people really want to unwrap now—smart TVs, laptops, noise-canceling headphones, robot vacuums—and when a mid-tier brand beats a hyped name. We talk toys old and new, from Tickle Me Elmo and Cabbage Patch chaos to today’s evergreen Legos and the rise of creator merch from YouTube stars that Gen Alpha treats like team colors. If you’ve felt lost in endless product pages, we help you pick with purpose.
There’s also a case for shopping small. Unique mugs crafted by local artists, limited-run prints, custom hoodies, and thoughtful pieces that carry a story—these gifts outlast the algorithm. We share tips for mixing in-store and online, using price history and alerts, and even waiting until after the holiday to catch deeper markdowns and better size selection. Along the way, you’ll hear outlet legends, crowd-control insights, and the best times to park, glide in, and skip the chaos.
Hit play, get a plan, and shop with intention. If you enjoy the show, follow, share it with a friend who still camps out for TVs, and leave a quick review to help more savvy shoppers find us. What’s your Black Friday strategy this year—lining up or logging in?

Yeah. Really? Just like get together, family, friend. I don't like having motherfuckers in that. I'm kidding.
SPEAKER_01:I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
SPEAKER_04:So the topic actually is going to be about holiday shopping. Black Friday. As soon as Thanksgiving over, Thanksgiving's over, that's what it becomes.
SPEAKER_05:Black Friday. Yeah. Everybody gets uh Black Friday. Does anybody do the lines anymore? You know? I think some people still do. No. The lines, you know, because now everything's online so much now that you can do it on the body.
SPEAKER_01:I think they still do like like Yeah. They still do them. They still have the people rushing, but it's not the same kind of I think depending on the store. Because depending on the store. So like going into Wally World and stuff like that. You know, Target that they'll have lines and stuff to come in. I haven't gone black uh Friday shopping in an easy 15 years. Okay. Like literally.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, Tara used to like religiously go.
SPEAKER_05:Tanya and her sister and her her daughter, they always did it. They always did it. I done it I also had to work through it. Really? Yeah. Yeah, me too. At night? Yeah, because I had worked for Target at the time. Oh, and that's probably supposed to say that it's not a big deal. But I did work for them. And you had to, you know, you got the holiday off, but then you had to come in early in that morning, like five in the morning. Oh, okay. Just step ready for Black Friday shopping because people out online waiting and all this other stuff. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah, I've done that a quite a few times actually. Yes. Well you would you said you worked V tail before, right?
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, same thing. You know, worked for a big box store. And, you know, they they the same thing of people lining up at the entrance. Because and I think uh the big box stores still do that. They have like a special deal, but like it's gotta be they only get like a handful of those things in. It's just to draw people. And then there's other sales once it's out, it's out. Sometimes or sometimes they have it depends. But like, yeah, sometimes they'll have like you know 200 of whatever it is. Right.
SPEAKER_01:Well, because yeah, but because the sale usually lasts the entire week.
SPEAKER_04:It's just the anchor to get people to the Because the sale lasts the entire week.
SPEAKER_01:So then they'll end up getting more. Like they'll be on the delivery. Right, exactly. Yeah. And I'll tell you what, man, if you've never gone Black Friday shopping, it is insane. Yeah, it depends on where you go, too.
SPEAKER_04:I mean, it's like the Twilight Zone because like you get up like, so like I would get up to go to work that morning, and it's like there's regular traffic on the road at like three in the morning.
SPEAKER_02:You're like, what the heck is going on?
SPEAKER_04:Why is bananas?
SPEAKER_02:Why is there regular traffic at 3 a.m.?
SPEAKER_01:Let's go. I'm like, yo, what the fuck? Yeah, it was like over in Middletown, bro. It's right off of 84 and 84 and Route 17. And yo, the traffic was, I mean, like there was no, like you couldn't drive anywhere. You hit the guns and shit at early hours. At like midnight. Yeah. One o'clock in the morning.
SPEAKER_04:I worked in Middletown as well. And that's the thing that you know, now they do. I mean, I think they're starting to ease back on it. But I know that like the the the midnight openings and or like the like some of them were open like like 10 o'clock on Thanksgiving. Right. Like opening super early. But I don't think they're doing that anymore. I think a lot of people were like, Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Well, I think they too. I don't think the mall is opening up like that. I'm it's I haven't been there so I don't think it's as open. I don't know.
SPEAKER_05:I think it's taken the other direction for sure.
SPEAKER_04:People are doing a lot of online stuff now. Yeah, exactly. Well, that too is like online sales are good. They got Cyber Monday. Cyber Monday and all that.
SPEAKER_01:And I think that's another thing that has switched up how many lines, how long the lines are gonna be, or how many, you know, people are rushing, because now you're able to go to all those to get all that stuff shipped to your house. Right. You know what I mean? It's it's it's true, you don't have to deal with it. Now you're dealing with online and go to whatever.
SPEAKER_04:I feel like if you're going for like the door buster stuff. Yeah, if you if you really bigger. Then you gotta camp out for it. But like to me, to me, like how much money do I really need to fucking save? Right. To like uh to camp out.
SPEAKER_03:Like I it better be like a like like they're like the stores losing money because that's how cheap it is. Right. You know what I mean?
SPEAKER_04:Like the like the manufacturer, like the lowest price is a hundred dollars, they're selling this rating. Right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, no, no, I feel you. But it's the thrill. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess I mean it's the one yes, it's the super adventure. Because so, like when I had done it, it was some of the ladies that I had, well the one one of the times that I had done it, one of the ladies, a couple of the ladies that I was working with, they're like, You coming with us. And I was I was on a shift. And I'm like, Yeah, yeah, whatever. Don't bother coming to get me. Dude, on their way out, they took my car keys because they were coming back to pick me up. So then I had to go with them to go Black Friday shopping. So I'm driving with them all over the place, and I'm like, you guys, and they're all happy and they're excited, and you know, they're elbowing people and trying to muscle their way through to get some of the shit. I'm like, yo, this is what you're doing. So now it's like two o'clock in the morning, three o'clock in the morning. I'm starving. So at the Walmart over here in Middletown, they have a subway.
SPEAKER_05:Right.
SPEAKER_01:So I was like, yo, hold this stuff, I'll be right back. I go, I get, and I had the they had the cart, the shopping cart. And I went, I got two foot longs and a shoulder. And I'm eating what I'm following them cutting through. And they're like, they're eating. I'm like, I'm starving, bro. I didn't get a chance to go home. Excuse me, sir, there's no eating in the store. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, you guys are freaking insane. But no, man, it's a it's it is it's a thrill, it's a little bit of a rush. And and then when you go, there is a little bit of excitement to it, right? But like what Tom is saying, though, is it really like I I I don't think that there's enough of a deal that I can't get at eight o'clock in the morning or you know, noontime, you know, for me to have to be up and only be so many of whatever their big deal is anyway, typically. Right, because they and they started getting away from the city.
SPEAKER_05:Whoever's on the beginning of the line, most of those.
SPEAKER_01:Right, would end up in the first hundred people would be able to get it, you know, because then they have to stock up for the next two or three days because then that truck wasn't gonna come in, right, you know, or or whatever else. And it was crazy how they used to stock up. It's just it's bananas, bro. Just thinking about how people like really jump like they're up and they've got their coupons on and they got everything ready because we're going and we're gonna be there. I'm like, yeah, no, bro.
SPEAKER_04:But what's wild is the op when they open the doors, the opening, the rock. Yes. I mean, at the big box stores. But when I got to experience and you know, because I would never do it myself, but working there, you don't have a choice. Yeah, right. And like you see, when they open the doors up, they you know, they got the handheld radios because they opened the doors at the same time.
SPEAKER_00:So because then that one's doing it up because everything's on walkie.
SPEAKER_03:Everything's on walkie. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:So when they open the doors, it was like we used to have to tell them we would walk the lines, like there would be people outside walking the line and then kind of just in the front of the store, and they people would talk to you. I feel like that answer would be like oh, we're rushing. No. They you have to tell them listen, no running. We're gonna let you in so many at a time. They controlled the line. They didn't allow the crowd to take the initiative they did. But then we're gonna let you in, but we gotta do it this way. Otherwise, it's gonna be people are gonna push through each other, man.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. Fucking A, bro. Yeah, people people have actually been killed. Like, see some of those films?
SPEAKER_06:You ever see some of those videos of the game? Dude, you're gonna be able to do it. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04:I think that was uh one of the one of the thousands. We ever watched Thousand Ways to Die? That was none of them.
SPEAKER_05:Was it really shop and got trampled up?
SPEAKER_01:Oh my god. Yeah, and the fist fights, people fighting in there. Oh, yeah. That's mine, I'm getting that getting my toy back, blah, blah, blah, blah, you know, and yeah, later for that shit, bro. Yeah, no, later. No.
SPEAKER_05:And and it's it it's definitely grown. It's it's progressed from where it was to where it is now, you know what I mean? But people used to get crazy though. They would bring tents. Yeah. You know?
SPEAKER_01:That was the dumbest shit ever. Like, and they would hang out, and they I know So you spend your fucking thirty your turkey, instead of being in your house, you sit and camp the fuck out in front of a store.
SPEAKER_05:People got excited about it.
SPEAKER_06:Like, I want to get this TV, or they wanted to get this new Xbox or whatever system was out.
SPEAKER_04:Xboxes. That's the thing, yeah. The PlayStation when the new systems come out. That's a camp out situation. Yeah. Everybody is at that when they when they release a new video game, there no matter who is people are camping out for that. You can't just like walk into a store and buy one the day it releases. Like there's pre-orders. There's people at the mall waiting for the mall to open. I didn't one of my friends, because he wanted to sell it on eBay. He's like, oh, let's go. What's happening to venture? Like he wanted me to keep him company. So all right, we'll go. And it was like, it was, it was a shit show. Yeah, it's nuts. And not only was it a shit show, like security messed everything up. Like, everybody wait here. And, you know, and but then people were waiting on the oh and then like they let the people in, and then people who were waiting, like, didn't get their cis. It was like so messed up. Yeah, see. They mishandled it.
SPEAKER_05:When uh when I did my first when I did my first Thanksgiving overnight, you know, for Target, we would it was early in the morning and we did it where they would stand in the mall. You know how you walk in the mall and you walk into that store that way? So they're like, all right, what you're gonna do is just let everybody know that when you when you get in there, tell them no running and all this other shit, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. When I turn, I I they open the gate, I go under, turn around and look, and it felt like I was in a zombie movie. Because all these people were standing right there, they'd like this look on their face.
SPEAKER_06:And it was like, you know what I mean?
SPEAKER_05:So then you had to walk up the line and tell people, please don't run, just take it easy, they're gonna let you know, just explain everything.
SPEAKER_06:But it was kind of like when you turn around, you're like, oh man.
SPEAKER_01:No, I'd have walked up to the line, okay, no running, we're doing that. They didn't have one yet, they didn't have one. No, no, no running and I'm digging in my head, but it was like a zombie.
SPEAKER_02:When you walk up to the door, they all start getting because then you're gonna open the freaking door.
SPEAKER_05:Like, wait, wait, wait, not opening yet. Get easy, relax, breathe, okay.
SPEAKER_01:Bro, that is.
SPEAKER_05:In through the nose, out through the mouth.
SPEAKER_01:No, no. I worked in, I did a uh was working at a at well a a music store uh for Black Friday, and my boss did the early one, but they were getting in, I think they got in at like 11 o'clock, the first crew at night. And then they opened up for Black Friday because we weren't too far from the from the mall. This was in Florida. All right. So then it was hoping, they were hoping that what would happen is the instead of people rushing to the mall, they would come to the record store because we sold videos and in the laser discs and stuff like that. That's how far back that shit goes so with CDs and laser discs. Yeah, remember that? Oh my god. So that was a thing that people, you know, they used to be. RCA. RCA, yes. So that then they, you know, we were hoping that that would be the overflow. The people would come to the record store to or the music store to buy them.
SPEAKER_04:Right.
SPEAKER_01:What was the commercial of the 90s?
SPEAKER_04:Where he was like Memorex.

SPEAKER_04:They got the deals because they got the outlet stuff.
SPEAKER_01:They have, and it's a big outdoor outlet. Man, the Nike store, holy shit. It was like it was like walking into a concert, like the line, because it was just that zigzag. Um Uggs store, the same thing. All the all the sporting stores, they all had that. The bad thing is that they're not inside. They're all outside. Yes, it's an outdoor shopping mall, I guess we'll call it like that. Man, but it was great. I I went there only just to go see what it was, how crazy it got. And they have people that were they already had staff working from eight o'clock the night before. So on Christmas, I mean in Christmas, on Thanksgiving, you would come into work at eight, nine o'clock at night. So this way you can, you know, help set up the store and whatnot. They had security, the police, and uh traffic cops. Right. You know, that was directing people. So that's how many people showed up to it. That's how many people would show up. People used to park across the street because there's a school across the street. So people would park across the street in the in the schoolyard. Like the cops had set that up. Yeah, man, it was it's bananas. But it was fun. It was fun. For me, I had a good time, but I like just walking through and just taking all that shit out. Yeah. So now, but you said you've been, you've never been, you said, right, Lou? What do you mean? You never went Black Friday shopping? Like actually just go, or you just went Friday? I think I might have done it once. I can't remember.

SPEAKER_01:I will tell you when I went, it was around the time when Tickle me Elmo was the shit.

People were literally fighting. Like they were holding it, like hugging on that. Like it was water. Yeah. And I'm like, what the fuck? You need to survive over a tickle me elmo? Are you kidding me right now? Yeah, but it was like that for the cabbage patch kids way back in the day. Back in the day.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, yes. So remember that same shit. Yeah, but I don't think there was any Black Friday back then. Yeah, there was. No, no, there was. Yeah. Yeah. But was that was that like the it wasn't like it it progressed into what it was at work?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, right. Yeah. It wasn't like nothing, yeah. Black Friday wasn't the same, like you know, it was early morning shopping kind of thing, you know, maybe opening up at six, you know, in the morning or opening up at five.
SPEAKER_05:People probably would wait certain stores for toys and stuff.
SPEAKER_01:Right, but to get to where people were there camp, like Tom was saying, camping out the night before, like, yeah, no, no.
SPEAKER_04:But that was the first toy, I think, that was like the black or like the holiday shopping, like the big cabbage patch?

It wasn't like like the a legal knockoff where like it was like I remember like someone like making me feel like a piece of shit at like four years old. They're like, Well, mine, look, yours isn't the real one because it has the signature on the chest. Yours is on the butt. Yeah, yeah. I was like, oh, nephew, you know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Teddy Ruxpin, you know, and that was like saying that was going way down.
SPEAKER_05:That I got from my daughter when she was a baby. Oh, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:Like the the PlayStations on my table. Those things were like those things were like. Yeah, they were. They that's what I said. There, maybe Tedusa. Yeah. Daddy Arabs gay.

SPEAKER_04:But you know what? The the the the the toy craze from the holiday shopping, it w got so out of hand that they actually made a movie about it.
SPEAKER_03:He's put that cookie down now.

SPEAKER_01:I know. I I just that was when I was fucking hilarious.
SPEAKER_02:You know how me and my buddy Steve had voice messages to each other. Yeah, no, Arnold voice.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I hear so now I was looking up to see what was this year's hottest toy. Now, the funny Well Black Friday. Well, because here's the shit. Toys aren't what they used to be. There's no more Toys at Rust, there's no more cage. Well, there is in Canada. Well, yeah, I'm I'm I don't even know they do like the Black Friday like that. I don't know, but I'm sorry. Well there is, but I think they're gonna be coming.
SPEAKER_05:I think they're coming back. I think it's a good thing.
SPEAKER_04:Well, they're something American Dreamwall has uh the toys in it.
SPEAKER_01:They do.
SPEAKER_04:But it it's not.
SPEAKER_01:That's what I'm saying. Because I know like a Sears, not Sears, A S. Is it AS? AS, you mean Sears. I think it's A S in Manhattan. They have uh they make a quote unquote Toys of Rust corner up in the up on their toys floor. You know, where they do the Santa Claus and shit like that. But it's not Toys of Rust. Same thing with F. A. O. Schwartz. You know, FAO Schwartz, I know you guys have never been to the F. A. O. Schwartz. Oh, yeah, I've been. You went to the one in the city back in the day where they did the movie Big? Yeah. Have you been inside that? That's like a homage as a kid if you're going to be.
SPEAKER_04:If you're gonna visit New York and you're sort of, you know, you're gonna go to Rockefeller Center, you gotta go to the city. Yeah, it goes to FAO Schwester F. AO Schwartz. Yeah. It's a little bit of a hike from there, but not too bad.
SPEAKER_01:Right. And but it was amazing. It was great. They had the niftiest toys, like everything that if anybody ever saw that movie Big, it was exactly like that. It was exactly like the PlayStation. I mean, that was really the that was really, you know, it was filmed in the store, but it was just like that all year round, and it was amazing. And then after a while, like, you know, the toys started to fade out, and you know, they only did it like you know once a year. They're just different now than for. But they don't promote the toys the same way like when we were kids, because we had Saturday morning cartoons and then they would they would push it like that.
SPEAKER_05:It's really more on the parents to get that stuff from.
SPEAKER_01:You know what I mean? Then we had the Sears catalog, you know, that you turn around and see them. We would get the um oh, I can't think of the name of the other catalog we used to get in the mail, and you'd be able to look through and get the Sunday paper. Yeah. You know what I mean? And you would get all the flyers to the different stores and whatnot, and you'd be able to look. So then I didn't even think about it, but now even looking for gifts is not the same. Because like even now, me going on the website on the Yeah, you go on Amazon, you just go on on your ad, you know, on the phone.
SPEAKER_04:Right. But I'm just saying it's like now you're gonna have to get the colour. Well, Target still makes the catalog.
SPEAKER_01:Well, yeah, but I'm saying you have to know what you're looking for. So, example, you have the meta glasses. So then now we would turn around and have to look in tech to find out where to get the meta glasses. Right. You know what I'm saying? Now we would have to go look in cosmetics, you know, for like everything is so different for like, you know, the the you know, for some of the makeup stuff. Like it's just depending on what you're looking for, that you know, you'd have to sort of then now there's so much to choose from. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, like just the headphones alone, for noise cancelling headphones. If you go into Best Buy, there's like dude, I want to tell you maybe 35, 40 headsets to pick from. Well, look, check this out. Here's some there.
SPEAKER_04:I got an amazing one. I got mine's got high fidelity on it, it's got live support, yeah, spatial audio.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, it sounds better than a home theater. Yeah, it sounds like it's amazing. Yeah, and then it's the levels of it because it goes.
SPEAKER_04:So you don't hear shit.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, right, exactly. I love it. Yeah, you're on your zone, man. You're getting your zone. So you got the bows, right? You have the the I have the ones that I just the Soundcore or whatever it's called. Yep, Soundcore. We have Bows, I said Bows, Beats, Sony, uh, I have Soundscape. It's Soundscape is another good one too. I mean, it's just Soundscape.

SPEAKER_05:I don't like earbuds, I like the regular phones.
SPEAKER_01:Well, then I guess the eat, you know, it depends on who likes what. But again, I'm sorry, guys. Right.
SPEAKER_05:So then the next one would be home decor, seasonal, and whatever this, you know, so whatever it is for you're getting for the yard or the house or whatever. But then it's got, you know, like they said, they had the electronics. Well, now did there's anything in there about Apple AirTag, Dyson is one of the vacuums, ACCOM. You should dyson. Dyson.
SPEAKER_01:Cyber Dyson systems. That's funny as hell. Because, well, see now, toys. So for me with toys, I'm looking right now. You know, the one thing with toys is the one thing I'm sorry that doesn't die out is Legos. Like everybody now because all who? Lincoln logs.
SPEAKER_02:Wow, do they still do the man?
SPEAKER_01:Well, I'm sorry, I meant more like the do the Lincoln logs come the same way, like uh the the different things you could build, the way that the Lego comes in, because like Lincoln.
SPEAKER_05:Oh, Lincoln Logs, you're building stuff, you're making uh logs, different cabins and stuff like that. But you it was always a fun toy. I loved it. I had it when I was a kid. Well, I had and then I had like Legos.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, because the Legos, I mean, it's like the Star Wars Legos, the MCU Legos, you know, then you get the science ones, you got, you know, that they move, you got the cars.
SPEAKER_04:Uh, Chase is usually the Legos. I think that's a good thing. That's what I'm saying. He's got he he gets the he loves getting the like adult ones that are like the the black box black box sets. Right, yeah. So you're right. Legos is one like his one of the coolest ones we put together was the tie interceptor. You see? Yeah, yeah, that's gotta be cool as hell, man.
SPEAKER_01:To do that. I would love to do that. So you said Legos and what else you said?
SPEAKER_05:Legos is a big one. Building and construction toys, licensed character toys, TV show, tie-ins, right, big play sets and deluxe items for older kids or shared families, outdoor ride-on toys. Yeah. So, like, you know, bikes and stuff like that. Yeah, of course. Yeah, educational and stem toys. Those are always popular.
SPEAKER_01:Powerwheel's been around forever. Those are popular too. Yeah, the wife likes buying the the educational stuff for the for the game.
SPEAKER_04:You know what I'm surprised as I I didn't hear come up on that list is stuff from like YouTubers, because like Chase's generation, Gen Alpha, they love YouTube, like all those channels, like Unspeakable, Mr. Beast, all that stuff. Carter Sherer, he watches, all these different like they're like big channels. They got millions and millions of followers and they sell merch. So like we usually get him some of their merch for Christmas. I'm surprised that didn't come up because that's like a popular thing. Right.
SPEAKER_01:Well, and now even too, w what what's the merch looking at on a lot of this stuff?
SPEAKER_04:You know, like hoodies and t-shirts. Yeah, they sell sub or they'll you know, they might have plushies if they have like characters, like I forget which one one of the channels he used to watch, he doesn't watch anymore, had like characters after themselves. Right. So like some plushies.
SPEAKER_05:So there's gonna be listen, everybody and their mother who has a freaking item or product, they're gonna have it on their own Black Friday sale. So I'm sure if whatever you're looking for, you'll be able to find it. Right. Oh, for sure. Yeah, sure. Whatever it is or whatever item it is, clothing, jewelry.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:You know, just I think everything and anything, really. I think like this year, I don't think I know. This year I'm going I'm not gonna so much do a lot of the big shopping, like for the wife, I probably will, because this is the of what she's already asked for for Christmas. But for a lot of other people, I think I'm gonna hit the mom and pop shops, the little places, because it's so much like is that I'm gonna end up getting you guys something that you already have. You know what I'm saying? Or or just an upgrade of what you already have, kind of shit. You know, I want to get something different, you make it, you know. Like that's why I was getting you the art stuff, you know, right and you the the stuff. Right. So like, you know, for me, it would like you know, pick your brain and find out, oh, this would be the cool thing, you know what I'm saying? You know, for you, you know, whether it's getting you a gift certificate to lids, you know, for new hats or whatever, and getting the same, or you know, getting you some hoodies and shit, like that's you know where I'm at. And you know, for me it's easier to do it at a mom and pop shop, you know what I'm saying, you know, brick and mortar kind of spot, because they got different things. Right. You know, they have the people in the in the community that are actually making it. I got this mug that my youngest Maggie had got me a while back, and it's a mug that your hand the people made it that your hand fits in the mug. So it's not a handle. You're you're literally walking like that. Oh, that's right, bro. And I bought it in Kingston. Well, she bought it from me in Kingston. Yeah, so your hand is in there and it's like. It's freaking amazing. So I want to go back and buy like three of these bitches, you know, three or four, because of the handful of people that I know that drink coffee and or tea. And, you know, I use mine like every day, bro. Literally, like when I go home now, I'm gonna go in and I'm gonna make coffee and I'm just gonna have a cup of coffee. And keep your hand warm at the same time, bro. It's amazing. I love that thing, you know? Like I said, hoodies or even shirts like this one, you know, like knitted shirts and shit like that. You know what I mean? Right. Or just buying a hoodie and being able to, you know, get it. That's like I did for you guys last year. They got the um printed on the t-shirts and the hoodies and shit. Right. Stuff like that. Like I said, that's the, you know, I think that's what I'm gonna end up doing this year. I'm not gonna do the as I said, I'm not gonna go to, you know, the big companies and buy whatever shit, you know. Because uh it's like I want to get something unique this year. I want to, you know, get everybody something that they're gonna do. I don't need anything, man.
SPEAKER_05:I'm good.
SPEAKER_01:Well, you know what I mean, though. I mean, I appreciate it though. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's still just the something, you know, something different, something cool, you know. It's been it's been a rough, you know, just rough as a whole. People just been on edge and shit. So to buy something to turn around and put a smile on your face and something different, that's where my head is at, you know. Like, yeah, oh check this out. You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like me, I would love to have Legos, but I don't have the time anymore to sit and put a fucking Lego together. And if I put Legos together, my wife's you've got to do it a little at a time.
SPEAKER_05:You can't do it in one shot.
SPEAKER_01:But then once I make it, I don't have wife isn't gonna let me hang it from the ceiling because I want like an X-Wing case. She's not gonna let me hang it right over.
SPEAKER_05:You're gonna have to break it down to whatever.
SPEAKER_01:What they sell?
SPEAKER_04:They sell a special adhesive that actually fuses like the plastic together. Really? That's what they do. That's what they use at Lego and the guy was telling me it's a special industrial adhesive they use. So when they when they have all their stuff outside put together, it that you can't take that shot. Yeah. Right. Yeah. It's like it's like stronger than a pocket.
SPEAKER_05:Right. Yeah. That's good.
SPEAKER_01:So they must do it to each individual piece. No, I think that's that's gotta be tedious. Like I don't even know. No, I think that they put on the LSP. I think it's like a paint. Like, you know what I'm saying? I think like they paint it on kind of thing. Like they put the whole thing together and then they put the putting. It's like an epoxy. Like an epoxy, yes.
SPEAKER_04:It's not like they have to put it over each other. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, you're on your fingers and then you're stuck to like you're stuck like that and shit. Yeah, it's a spray gun. Yeah, right, right. No, no. I don't think that it could spray it on too. Yeah. But yeah, I'm sorry, we were talking over this way totally.
SPEAKER_05:No, no, I'm just responding to what you guys were saying. It's just like I was saying, like, I'm sure like my wife laws boots. I'm sure there's gonna be a crisp there's gonna be a Black Friday thing on that. You know what I mean? Or uh Whatever it is you're looking for. This is crazy 'cause not everybody jumps on the bandwagon, you know. But if it's a really crazy item like everybody normally goes for, like the TVs and the v the uh the video games and
SPEAKER_00:Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_05:Now we see earbuds. Now everybody's doing that. That's a big thing.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, I don't want earbuds.
SPEAKER_05:I don't either. Yeah, no.
SPEAKER_04:I I like over ear. Yeah, I like over ear. You know what the thing is with earbuds is? Is like they never feel comfortable. No. Like, unless it's the one that goes over your ear as well. In the back of the ear, right. And then kind of goes in. Yeah, that's okay. I feel like you have to wedge it in your ear. And after a while, I like the over-the-head.
SPEAKER_05:And listen, we're old school. That's where we come from. That's how we were having it.
SPEAKER_04:Remember the old Walkman one? Yes.
SPEAKER_01:So old Walkman used to have the big over-the-head earphones that you would plug into your Walkman. They got cheaper in the 80s with the Little Food.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, Sonya was a big one too, because they have the ones that went in your ear.
SPEAKER_01:Yes. Remember those? And that's what I'm saying. I think everybody you have to know who you're buying for.
SPEAKER_05:Right.
SPEAKER_01:Know where you're going to go. Well, that's the thing.
SPEAKER_05:You don't want to just buy something for somebody and they're not going to like it.
SPEAKER_01:So here's what I was going to go with. So I was going to be nice about it, but fuck it. So dig it. If you're not going to see the person on Christmas, you buy their gift the day after Christmas.
SPEAKER_04:That's true.
SPEAKER_01:So this way it's even cheaper than what it would have been on Black Friday. Yeah. And everybody's returning shit so you get your size. So anybody who's like a sneaker has always sales and you're not going to find, yep, you're not going to find your size.
SPEAKER_05:Or just do your Christmas shopping then for next year. For next year.
SPEAKER_01:Well, yeah, you could do that too. Yeah. Well, also, you know how.
SPEAKER_04:You know how Chase is obsessed with Halloween. We had Chase on the show recently, and uh my son, and he uh loves spear Halloween. So when Tara does, she goes to 50% day, which is after you know November 1st. Yeah. Right. And she loads up to Christmas shopping then for him. That's awesome. He loves that stuff. So, you know, yeah, see, that's his wheelhouse right there. He likes to uh wear costumes for fun. So who didn't? We get like half-wolf costumes. Yeah. That's awesome. That's not a bad idea. Shit. That's really cool.
SPEAKER_01:Damn, I didn't even think about it.
SPEAKER_04:You know anybody likes Halloween spooky stuff?
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, as I say, my daughter did this little shit. She turned around Samantha, the older one. Her ass, she's already put up her tree.

SPEAKER_05:My wife does it the day after Yeah, after Thanksgiving. After Thanksgiving.
SPEAKER_04:Some people now are day after Halloween.
SPEAKER_05:That's easy. And most of that's out of respect for me as well, because she knows I love Thanksgiving. It always started for me the day after. Yeah, no. And I always like that. You know what I mean? Yeah.
SPEAKER_04:I don't want it to be the, you know, I don't want to Christmas shit right away. Who are like, day after Halloween, we're gonna have two months of Christmas. No way, man. No way. Some people love Christmas that much to where they're like, ooh, like us. We we start we start Halloween in September.

SPEAKER_05:Well, I mean that's that's the general Yeah, and for me, I think that's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01:Like they're already doing the Christmas the commercials, you know?
SPEAKER_05:Dude, you walk into the big stores now and do the already.
SPEAKER_01:This all the big shit is out already. Oh man, come on. No, I can't. I can't. I don't I hate it. That bothers the hell out of me. Matter of fact, it started to snow over here last week, and my daughter's like, Dad, send me a text message, Dad, why is it snowing? What the hell's going on? I'm like, because your ass decided you want to put up that punk ass Christmas tree in your house. So this shit is your fault.
SPEAKER_05:Right. Whatever. Oh, and Bobber did the same thing, too, by the way. Yeah, lady I worked. The whole office is done. Her house is. She does it.

SPEAKER_01:No, no, no. No, no, no. Her house, when she does, no lie, bro. I went to her house and during Christmas time. And her and her cousin, so you know, Barbie lives in her house and her cousin another. Dude, their house is like if Christmas threw up in their house. Right. I'm not even kidding. She's got all the figurines. She's got Barbie, Christmas Barbies, bro. Christmas Barbies. And she doesn't take them out of the box. They still sit in the box, but she sets these bitches up. She puts up the barbies, she's sending the box. And it's like a Christmas Barbie.
SPEAKER_06:She thinks the holiday, man. That's her shit. Oh dude, oh my god. I give her shit about it too. Because I'm like, it's too early.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah. I'm like, no, no, no. The radio now is playing the music now, too, or right? I'm telling you, bro. Listen, that I'll turn that shit off. I don't listen to it yet. I don't listen to it at all. Don't listen too early. Nope. Matter of fact, her cousin, she has a Santa Claus, like a zipline shit kind of thing. So Santa Claus comes down. She has it across the living room. And Santa Claus comes down with the radio or some shit.
SPEAKER_04:We have one of those for a ghost. He goes, ooh.
SPEAKER_01:Oh yeah.
SPEAKER_03:He travels up and down the zip line. That's awesome.
SPEAKER_01:That's great. Yo, dude, that is freaking hilarious, man. No. It's too bad.
SPEAKER_05:Spirit Halloween doesn't stay long enough for like they do their own Black Friday show. I wonder if they have one. I bet you they do. That's what he said. It's online, probably.
SPEAKER_04:Well, it's the day after Halloween. One now. They may even have one online. Well, you know what they do have though? They started this year, Spirit Christmas. No, no, this is the second year they're doing it. That's right. I read about that. So they only had a handful of locations last year, because it was the first year they're testing. Okay. The second year they're doing it, and they're expanding to even more locations. So by me in Jersey, they have one in Paramus and one in Rockaway. Did you go in it? Not yet. We're going to let me know what it looks like. Yeah, we're in Jersey. If they do it the way they do Halloween, man, in the sense the way, you know, like we were at the one at Old Bridge last year. And that was really cool. The only thing I would warn anybody, if you're bringing a small kid, be careful. It is owned by Spencer's. You know, Spirit Halloween's own by Spencer's, but for some reason, some of the adult themed stuff made it into that store. So just, you know, a heads up. Cover eyes, that kind of thing. Or just don't go to that area of the salt. Yeah, yeah. Because they got like some of the like Christmas, ugly Christmas sweaters. Because that whole section of ugly Christmas sweaters. And like they're the same ones that they have at Spencer's, and some of them are like, you know, perverted. You know, a little, you know, adult themed.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah. Okay. Oh shit, I'm going to have to go to Spencer. They have the sex toys in it as well. Right.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, they don't have that spirit of Christmas. That means like a one shaped like a candy cane or something. That'd be a great.
SPEAKER_06:Or it was the color of a skin of a candy cane. Yeah. The peppermint colour or the right strike.
SPEAKER_05:Like from uh, you know, oh my god, what the mental like a fucking cemented doctor's.
SPEAKER_03:Yo, that's adult from Hooville.
SPEAKER_06:Hilarious, bro. But what would it be? What would it be for a guy? What's the toy that they call it? What is it, a sleeve or something? What the hell is that thing?
SPEAKER_01:Oh, yeah, like the sock. Yeah, you put like just the underwear with the sock on it. Yeah, that right down because that would be the Candy King. Or that it's uh Rudolph the Red Rose reindeer. But I know you're talking, but I think it is called a sock, bro.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah.
SPEAKER_01:That's fucking hilarious. Oh my god.
SPEAKER_04:Yes, for some reason for Spirit Halloween, like stuff, they do sell some stuff from Spencer's because Spencer smells a lot of the Halloween stuff anyway, and all that stuff. But they don't really have a lot of the adult themed stuff. Right. Well, some of the costumes at Spear, but like they don't have but like at like Spirit Christmas, like they got like some stuff. I was like, what the hell's going on here? Yeah. Right. Because that like they have a gift section.
SPEAKER_05:Which is the one we went to in the mall when we were in uh Palisades. Which one did we go into? We went into one of the Spencer's Spencer's Hot Topic. They had all that stuff in that store. They were loaded. Yeah, they had the store and shit. Yeah, a few months ago we all went to the mall. We were stuff. So we that place is gonna be jacked on on uh on Black Friday. Palisades jacked. Yeah, yeah.
SPEAKER_01:But Palisades has enough uh parking for all that shit. Yeah.
SPEAKER_05:I mean they got downstairs and then it's just scary because that damn thing is sinking, man.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but no, it's not good. And they'll put a new car, so it'd be like whatever. I know.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, so those for those who don't know, the Palisades Mall is in Nyack, West Nyack, uh New York. And they built it on landfill. And apparently they didn't put the pilings deep enough, and it's sinking slowly. It's just this slow decay. And uh eventually, I think the owners we were talking about before, I think they're gonna be closing it because I don't think at a certain point it's gonna be It's not gonna be safe anymore. I think right now it is for sure. As it slowly sinks down.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, but uh, you know what? They that's crazy.
SPEAKER_04:I don't want to be in there and be like where they waited too long and like there's some like the building falls and it'll be in a movie or something.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, yeah. I love that mall, bro. I'm not even gonna lie.
SPEAKER_05:It's a good mall. It's a nice size mall, but the fact that the way they went about it, they didn't they just didn't do it right. Engineering structurally, it just sucked, but they got it. I think that's what it is. I th so if I'm wrong, yeah, wait, you're wrong. You could be absolutely right, because we're only going by what we know.
SPEAKER_04:So Palestine's mall's gonna sue us for defamation. That's Star Wars.
SPEAKER_05:Okay, yeah. Yeah. No, we don't we're we're not trying to say anything, but just what we hear.
SPEAKER_01:That's the word on the street. Okay.
SPEAKER_04:That's what I'm saying.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, but no. That's I wonder what that I've never been there for Black Friday or anything like that. No.
SPEAKER_05:I bet you it's I bet you there's a lot of people jacked up in that one. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Because they probably do everything inside.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, they have to. Yeah. They have to. The what? The the order like having the line can happen by outside. Well, the store, it's a mall, bro. It's a mall.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah, so they're gonna have to wait like in the lobby and everything. Yeah, they'll probably have a line along the inside. Because it's like it's the typical mall where they have like it's it's four floors, but there's in the middle of the store is uh the middle of the mall is like you can see all the floors. Right. Right. So they'll probably have them line up against that glass.
SPEAKER_01:Maybe, but then there's like four stores that are next to each other. You know what I'm saying? So that's what I'm looking at. It's like, you know, you have three stores together and they have to have lines or space for the lines in the three stores.
SPEAKER_04:So it's small stores do big doorbusters. Oh, yeah. Unless it's like a special store.
SPEAKER_01:It might be a small stores that are not open at all. No, the perfume store, like even the perfume store, it's always a small ass store. That's a good store. But you know, they have they they always have a huge line to get into that shit. You know what I mean? Yeah, yeah, that's true. So, you know, but yeah, I I love that shit, man. You know, and I I I wish that kids had more selection of actual toys. You know what I mean? Not just because, you know.
SPEAKER_04:You know what would be fun though? I've never got like I said, I've never gone shopping for Black Friday, and I still won't, but it would be fun to go out and video record and see other people. Why not? Yeah, it's fun to be a good one. Just be a spectacle. Like spectator.
SPEAKER_01:But wait, now you have to think about your own sanity. And I'm saying it like this because it's crazy with the traffic. Uh-huh. And I'm telling you, the traffic. But is it still like that though? I don't know. Yeah. Well, again, like I said, I had it on for a handful of years. I heard last year it was pretty hectic. You know what I mean? It wasn't that crazy, but it was it wasn't crazy like, you know, you know, 15 years ago. But like, you know, it it's it's still pretty, pretty busy, pretty full. And you don't want to go out at midnight. You want to go at like three o'clock in the morning. Yeah. Because that's when traffic is now moving again. And now it might be a little bit easier to find parking because people are actually, you know, coming in and out of the stores and stuff like that and whatnot. And I mean, I don't know about where you live, bro, but over here, there's so much shopping. You know, we've got the indoor mall, we got the outdoor mall, you have all the mom and pop shops, you have I mean, there's just so much shit. It's insane, insane. Like they built new roadways, bro, to try to deter the traffic, uh, you know, detour the traffic to get around. And it's actually worked, but the problem is that now it's like 30 miles per hour over there. So now when you go over there and people are doing now 10 or 15 because they're window shopping. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like you get the fuck out the way, just get out the car. But whatever, you know, it was one of those things. But I think last year, did I hear last year, bro, that Black Friday uh Home Depot was open? Probably. They were all those too, I think.
SPEAKER_04:Yeah. So it says here. Don't forget Home Depot always does that big thing with the with the they stopped doing it, but they used to remember they used to cover the all the pallets with like black tape or black like cellophane in in the in in Home Depot. Oh, I remember that. Yeah, they were doing it for so many years. Home Depot, they'd have like in the middle, like like two days before Black Friday or uh Thanksgiving. I know that. They start putting the stuff out, but it would be covered with black cellophane so you can see through it. Oh, that's right. I do remember that. Yeah, they'd have all these power tools, the wall, Milwaukee would have special deals or Ryobi or all those.
SPEAKER_05:I just asked Chat GBT, and it says yes, a large growing portion of Black Friday shopping is done online, although in-stores still plays an important role. Here are some of the keys data. So US on sa online sales, Black Friday, 10.8 million and up. 10.2% from prior year. Wow. That's crazy. In terms of people, an estimate shows 87.3 million shopping online versus 81.7 who visited physical stores. So it's really not that much more.
SPEAKER_01:Yeah, okay. All right. So it's split in the middle almost. Like they're dead even. I thought it was gonna be more than that. Wow. I thought it was gonna be a bigger difference than that. You know? Yeah. That's cool, then. I mean that people are actually still going out there and going shopping, which is a good thing. So, you know.
SPEAKER_05:It says one survey for Black Friday 2025, it was reported that seventy-one percent of people plan to shop online, while twenty-nine percent plan to shop in person. Mobile devices are very dominant, for example, seventy percent of global online sales during the Black Friday, Cyber Week period, were made via mobile devices. Oh damn. This is interesting stuff. So I'm just asking as we're talking and getting some answers. You know what I'm saying?
SPEAKER_01:That's groovy. Well, that is it. We're done for today. But listen, everybody that goes out there Black Friday shopping, be careful. Be careful. You know, people say driving crazy and whatnot and trying to rush for for you know to get for a parking space or running for whatever item that they see and all that other stuff.
SPEAKER_05:Yeah, I don't think I think people know now this they're not gonna put up.
SPEAKER_01:You know, somebody just turned around and grabs the last, you know, that last vase and is like, you know, that's mine. That's mine, mine. You know, anyway, just be safe. Yes, everybody, be safe for the holidays all together, man. Be safe, you know, be kind to everybody. Love, peace, and hair grease. Live long and prosper.
SPEAKER_04:And stay shopping or stay home.
SPEAKER_01:Hello.
