After you buy the house & move into it, you discover all the little things that are wrong with it. (door knobs, crusty locks, gloggy toilets)

Getting a new computer means trying to get everything transferred over from the old to the new one without breaking everything.
What’s got your goat?

Hammond:

cashiers who say wacky things to be funny - that will be 312 Cents. That will be 2.35 and ½.

Entire parking lot available, why pen me in?

If you want my parking spot, you need to give me the room to get out.

Garbage co said they’d start pickup Tues & deliver containers. No such luck.
What’s got your goat?

Hammond:

WHAT’S GOT OUR GOAT?:

Crappy problems & little things that bug us:
Darrell:

"Meteoric rise" makes no sense. It's like saying "flaccid boner".

How is living under constant threat of layoffs good for morale - always happens to me for the holidays.

The holidays are often a time of disappointment & let down, having gotten people wrong gifts.

Honda sold us a maintenance contract with promise that we’d never have to pay for maintenance ever again. Upon taking car in, found out it’s oil changes only.
What’s got your goat?

Hammond:

“Grey Thursday” What the Hell?!!!

I was peed on!

as adults we still want the holidays to to magical, but because we have obligations and responsibilities a lot of the really cool things get talked about before buying them. kinda takes some the wonder out of it.
THE TURNAROUND: This week’s Positive:

Darrell: Moving into new house with podcast room. Next show from there.

Belkin is replacing my lightning cable that recently went bad.

Crappy problems & little things that bug us:
Darrell:

House buying and selling - waiting. For what? Everything’s instant in today’s world.

Speech recognition phone menus.

DST make dark evenings even worse. The time change should make it lighter when it gets dark earlier.
What’s got your goat?

Hammond:

I live in a location that has bad weather. every year. Why is it that people forget how to drive in it every year.

Kleenexes that are packed so tightly in the box they can’t be pulled out without shredding & becoming totally useless.
What’s got your goat?

Hammond:

The phrase "the stress of the holidays" - this is all self imposed stress.

Dumb cartoon that promote stupid stereotypes. Girls need to be rescued...etc.

The nuance of health is gone- the illusion of giving a shit is gone.
THE TURNAROUND: This week’s Positive:

Darrell: The hum/whine some people have been hearing has been fixed. Undid the mixer’s USB cable and went analog only.

Grumpiness means nothing unless you’re going to do something about it.

Those three had something special in gaming podcasts. It meant a lot to hear other people talk about it.
