<v Speaker 2>It's thousands, been around for thousands of years. It's actually

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 2>in Gladiat or two. They come out from there, they

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:50.640

<v Speaker 1>Come out into that beautiful room, and we took a

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:13.959
<v Speaker 1>lot of pictures with ourselves and with others.

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.240
<v Speaker 2>I'm okay. I'm okay being a full blown tourist in

0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 2>New York. Yeah, because even when I lived here, I

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 2>never stopped taking pictures. Yeah, the city is like, come here,

0:02:24.600 --> 0:02:25.200

<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 2>The light, the lights. I just I also think it

<v Speaker 2>is the holiday season already in New York. There's no

0:02:35.760 --> 0:02:38.160
<v Speaker 2>way you can't come into the city and feel so festive.

0:02:38.320 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>You're wearing a red snowflake on your sweater side holiday sweat.

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.200
<v Speaker 2>This is the first time I'm wearing one this year. Actually,

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 2>I saved it for me.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Thanksgiving does it matter no, but the city is telling me,

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.840
<v Speaker 1>actually it's it's you know what though, it's it's only

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.359
<v Speaker 1>it's only halfway there really, because so we so we'd

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>come on a Grand Central, we exit, we start walking

0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>up Fifth Avenue. Some of the storefronts are ready for

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>the holiday season, some of them are not, so some

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>of them are still in progress, as you might say

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>in England.

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 3>I uh, I was a little bummed.

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:19.400

<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 3>I've already listened to Mariah Carey all I Want for

0:04:45.520 --> 0:04:48.640
<v Speaker 3>Christmas multiple times in my house.

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:51.159
<v Speaker 1>And so we're ready. So we came in New York City.

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:54.839
<v Speaker 1>It's feeling festive. We get to be together and you know,

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>we got Thanksgiving coming up and just a hot minute

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:58.359
<v Speaker 1>in a New York minute.

0:04:58.400 --> 0:05:00.560
<v Speaker 3>So what do you do for the holiday? Do you

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 3>have things that you always do?

0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, here's what I love about Thanksgiving. I didn't grow

0:05:04.200 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 2>up with it, so I just got to inherit. All

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 2>of you know, friends giving traditions around me. And I

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:12.760
<v Speaker 2>love cooking the turkey on the day. I say cooking,

0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:16.640
<v Speaker 2>but really I get it from Whole Foods. I get

0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:17.599
<v Speaker 2>the one that's pre cooked.

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, because you just shoved that bad point. You

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 2>can't go wrong. Honestly, you could serve it as is

0:05:23.720 --> 0:05:26.720
<v Speaker 2>cold and then it's almost like a microwave situation.

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.920
<v Speaker 3>Uh huh. It'd be hard to fit it in there.

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:29.720
<v Speaker 3>But yeah.

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 2>And the reason I did that is because one year

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:37.080
<v Speaker 2>I was cooking a turkey from scratch. I actually have

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:40.799
<v Speaker 2>pictures of that year, so I'll post them on Instagram.

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:46.039
<v Speaker 2>And I was, they absolutely lie to you on a

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 2>package for how long the turkey's going to take? Yeah,

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.159
<v Speaker 2>multiply that by three. They're like, yeah, it's gonna be

0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:52.800
<v Speaker 2>three hours.

0:05:52.920 --> 0:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>Well but okay, wait pause, because it's my understanding that actually,

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.400
<v Speaker 1>to understand if you've cooked a turkey properly, you need

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>to have an internal thermometer. Yeah, and I had you

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.240
<v Speaker 1>need to be able to register the inside temperature of

0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>the turkey to understand if salmonelle is not in your future.

0:06:06.560 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 2>But the pack one hundred percent, but the packet is

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 2>assuming that you have the thermometer. And they're saying, hey,

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 2>guess what, it's a quick three hours that twenty pound turkey,

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 2>and you're like, great, great, so we're having dinner at four. Yeah,

0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:22.520
<v Speaker 2>I'll put it in at one and it'll be done live.

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:23.680
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yea yeah yeah yeah.

0:06:23.720 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 2>The turkey I got that year was an asshole and

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 2>took I don't know twelve hours, and by like the

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 2>twelfth hour, my family members and friends that had come

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.760
<v Speaker 2>over were over it. Yeah, it was a ten I

0:06:38.839 --> 0:06:40.800
<v Speaker 2>was like at ten pm. I'm not even kidding. It

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.839
<v Speaker 2>was like that late. And I was like, I'm taking

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 2>it out. It is what it is, it's been whatever,

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.760
<v Speaker 2>it has been cooked as cooked, yeah, and we're all

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.400
<v Speaker 2>going to eat it. And I thought, genuinely, there's no

0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 2>way that people are going to actually get sick. I

0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:56.400
<v Speaker 2>gave food poisoning that year to everyone that had a turkey.

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Oh see, I'm not kidding. I've never given food poisoning

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 2>anybody for but people were caulling up that night.

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:04.760
<v Speaker 3>I'm so glad I wasn't there.

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:07.480
<v Speaker 2>So now I get the ready the cooked turkey.

0:07:07.640 --> 0:07:11.400
<v Speaker 3>Yes, let's yes, get it done right. Yeah I have.

0:07:11.560 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>I hosted it when or I cooked when you're And

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought, especially with my Missouri roots, having washed my

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>grandma ny and to make mashed potatoes five trillion times,

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.040
<v Speaker 1>to which, by the way, go get a video, it

0:07:24.080 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 1>looks really easy. Not for me, wallpaper paste like the

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>actual really discuss every time. I don't know if my

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:34.840
<v Speaker 1>ratios were off, I don't know if my my my

0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>my method, I don't know what it was, but it

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:38.480
<v Speaker 1>was truly disgusting mashed potatoes.

0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 3>And I wouldn't think you could mess those up.

0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Do you do like the instant package on Thanksgiving?

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 3>No?

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 2>No, no, are you at are you really cooking on Thanksgiving?

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 3>No? No, no, yeah no.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.840
<v Speaker 2>I just realized in this moment that this you don't

0:07:51.880 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 2>cook for that.

0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:57.520
<v Speaker 1>In our family we have, We've done it a bunch

0:07:57.560 --> 0:07:58.400
<v Speaker 1>of different ways.

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 3>We we will cook some dishes.

0:08:01.800 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>And sometimes certain members of our family will get you know,

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.280
<v Speaker 1>you'll get allocated like you're on the mac and cheet

<v Speaker 1>at Thanksgiving.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:16.120
<v Speaker 3>Oh really Yeah for people that are like, oh I

<v Speaker 2>You gotta smother the turkey and butter, and you gotta

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:07.720
<v Speaker 2>do a little salt pepper, and you gotta throw those

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.400

<v Speaker 3>Now, silver bells.

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:46.079
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes, I sang a Christmas song. Krista Vernoff wrote

0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>me singing a Christmas song with Jim Pickens and Kevin

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:55.760
<v Speaker 1>McKidd on the couch at Meredith and Derrek's house one year,

0:12:55.800 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>and I was I was just a regular, like maybe

0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.520
<v Speaker 1>like my first season as a regular, did it or no?

<v Speaker 2>to down.

0:13:18.400 --> 0:13:21.680

0:13:27.240 --> 0:13:29.959
<v Speaker 2>So I just happened to pick your least of all

0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:32.440
<v Speaker 2>the one hundred Christmas songs. I just sung a song like,

0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:34.040
<v Speaker 2>that's the absolute least.

0:13:34.720 --> 0:13:39.000
<v Speaker 1>Have to disagree. Sometimes it's the spice of life. We

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.840
<v Speaker 1>cannot agree on all things. It's inevitable. It's more entertaining

0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>that when you make fun of me and when we disagree.

0:13:46.120 --> 0:13:46.600
<v Speaker 3>Once in a while.

0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 2>I just felt a little disrespected.

0:13:48.200 --> 0:13:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Oh I sang sorry, it's okay, I'm sorry. I do

0:13:53.000 --> 0:13:54.880
<v Speaker 3>I just friend, we'll.

0:13:54.679 --> 0:14:02.400

0:14:02.679 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 3>Christmas?

0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:07.360
<v Speaker 2>What do you Easter? What do you think I'm talking about? Literally, like, I.

0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.440
<v Speaker 3>already decorated for Christmas. In Josie's room. That will just

0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.079
<v Speaker 3>spread like a contagion throughout.

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:17.439
<v Speaker 1>The while I'm asking starts. Okay, the Christmas tree gets

0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:20.680
<v Speaker 1>picked up on the day after Thanksgiving if I'm in

0:14:20.720 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>my own home.

0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 3>But if I'm out Friday, Black Friday is Christmas Tree

0:14:24.280 --> 0:14:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Day if I could.

0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 1>But I'm usually not home then, so I'm usually with

0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 1>family and usually away. So then I usually come home

0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:32.320
<v Speaker 1>on Saturday or Sunday night, and then the first thing

0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>on Monday, when the kids are at school, I am at.

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>a living Christmas tree.

0:14:45.280 --> 0:14:46.200
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you just thought it.

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.400
<v Speaker 2>You mean, you made it sound dramatic, but you just

0:14:48.440 --> 0:14:51.880
<v Speaker 2>bought a tree. No living. It was a tree.

0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>It's potted, it's a live You don't have to think

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:58.360
<v Speaker 1>about all the Christmas trees that get killed during Christmas. Yeah, yeah,

0:14:58.400 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>the die for your entertainment. This one got to live.

0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Bob is fine, okay, And Bob might just get picked

0:16:17.280 --> 0:16:18.120
<v Speaker 1>up by its roots again.

0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 3>His roots again and come back and I.

0:16:20.360 --> 0:16:21.120
<v Speaker 2>Just picked up again.

0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:24.520
<v Speaker 3>He's like, off, ao sake, I have to go my share.

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 3>And they listened to that one song so much.

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.080
<v Speaker 2>He's like, hey, yeah, sill bells whatever.

0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Along, Yeah, yeah yeah.

0:16:33.000 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 2>What about you?

0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:34.520
<v Speaker 3>When do you get your tree?

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:41.640
<v Speaker 2>I honestly, okay, I'm ferocious about getting a tree. I

0:16:41.760 --> 0:16:46.640
<v Speaker 2>like a very specific shape, a very specific needle. You

0:16:46.680 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 2>know when people like smell, you know, they're smelling their

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:52.120
<v Speaker 2>wine then tasty. That's like me looking at trees. I'm smelling,

0:16:52.160 --> 0:16:59.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm touching and whispering to it, fering it. Well it

0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:01.840
<v Speaker 2>gets a little of this, I can see how it responds,

0:17:01.920 --> 0:17:05.359
<v Speaker 2>you know, gonna sense of humor or not. And I'm like,

0:17:08.400 --> 0:17:15.040
<v Speaker 2>so ridiculous, an insane person. If you see me picking

0:17:15.040 --> 0:17:17.080
<v Speaker 2>out a Christmas tree on a Christmas tree lot, it

0:17:17.200 --> 0:17:18.920
<v Speaker 2>is a military operation.

0:17:20.400 --> 0:17:21.120
<v Speaker 3>I'm like Matt.

0:17:21.560 --> 0:17:24.000
<v Speaker 2>North North to the left to you know, it's like,

0:17:24.040 --> 0:17:25.320
<v Speaker 2>I'm crazy about it.

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.280
<v Speaker 1>So you're asking, So you're asking the people at the

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:30.440
<v Speaker 1>tree lot to pull the ones that you're you're one.

0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.480
<v Speaker 2>Of those like pull that out, pull that out. You

0:17:33.800 --> 0:17:35.679
<v Speaker 2>got like six of them lined up and I'm like

0:17:35.800 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 2>I still and then I had them spin them because

0:17:38.760 --> 0:17:41.000
<v Speaker 2>you got to see like the side, like that side's

0:17:41.040 --> 0:17:46.440
<v Speaker 2>YANKI this side's good. So it honestly was so stressful

0:17:46.520 --> 0:17:50.199
<v Speaker 2>for me that I ordered a tree from This is

0:17:50.240 --> 0:17:54.280
<v Speaker 2>not a plug from King of Christmas. And and so

0:17:54.400 --> 0:17:56.920
<v Speaker 2>now I'm not stressed. So that bad boy sits on

0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.840
<v Speaker 2>our he's very cozy in our garage, and I will

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.880
<v Speaker 2>pull him out the weekend after. I mean a lot

0:18:02.880 --> 0:18:05.080
<v Speaker 2>of times it's a Friday. I'm away this year too.

0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:06.119
<v Speaker 3>Wait, this is a fake tree.

0:18:06.359 --> 0:18:08.880
<v Speaker 2>This is a fake tree because the stress of the

0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:13.000
<v Speaker 2>real tree, the tickling, the dinner, other stuff, yeah, all

0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:16.320
<v Speaker 2>the other things, the shenanigans was.

0:18:16.400 --> 0:18:17.240
<v Speaker 3>I would literally be.

0:18:17.240 --> 0:18:18.840
<v Speaker 2>On the floor like I had a nervous break down

0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:19.400
<v Speaker 2>the middle.

0:18:19.160 --> 0:18:22.560
<v Speaker 3>Of you know what I got.

0:18:23.040 --> 0:18:25.360
<v Speaker 2>I think I have a fake tree that looks beautiful.

0:18:25.400 --> 0:18:27.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I think that I would.

0:18:27.880 --> 0:18:31.919
<v Speaker 1>I think former Jessica would would have had an issue

0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:36.640
<v Speaker 1>with a fake tree, and current Jessica evolved. Jessica would say,

0:18:36.720 --> 0:18:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that's actually great because you're not killing a tree.

0:18:40.440 --> 0:18:42.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's a perfect looking tree.

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:48.719
<v Speaker 2>It's perfect. It I scented, it's not scented, Okay, But

0:18:48.800 --> 0:18:51.119
<v Speaker 2>to be honest that I do love the scent because

0:18:51.119 --> 0:18:54.720
<v Speaker 2>growing up never a fake tree wouldn't have come within

0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.960
<v Speaker 2>six feet of the house, you know, it wasn't even

0:18:58.000 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 2>in consideration. And I do love the tradition of going

0:19:00.840 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 2>out and picking the tree. I do too, and so

0:19:03.280 --> 0:19:04.919
<v Speaker 2>there's a little bit of that missing. So sometimes we'll

0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:06.440
<v Speaker 2>just go out and get a mini tree for their room.

0:19:06.520 --> 0:19:07.400
<v Speaker 2>That's real, right.

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I put smaller trees in my kids' tree, the ones

0:19:09.800 --> 0:19:12.240
<v Speaker 1>that want them, Josey and Poppies still want them this year.

0:19:12.800 --> 0:19:16.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and so they get that feeling. But that makes

0:19:17.000 --> 0:19:20.199
<v Speaker 2>me feel so spoiled, like that is just like to

0:19:20.280 --> 0:19:23.080
<v Speaker 2>have a mini tree in your kid's room.

0:19:23.160 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>And there's just something about you and I talked about

0:19:25.320 --> 0:19:28.040
<v Speaker 1>this because when you walked into Josie's room last night, yeah,

0:19:28.080 --> 0:19:32.239
<v Speaker 1>and she had decorated. You said something that you and

0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.679
<v Speaker 1>I agree on that I didn't know, which was you

0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:38.320
<v Speaker 1>have to have the right Christmas tree lights because the

0:19:38.440 --> 0:19:40.200
<v Speaker 1>Led Christmas lights.

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 2>I cannot It's not the same stand in the Led lights.

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 2>The colors are off. The blue is gross. I hate it.

0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:51.760
<v Speaker 2>It has to be the I'm going to give you

0:19:51.760 --> 0:19:53.399
<v Speaker 2>an example of what they look like. They look like

0:19:53.440 --> 0:19:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the twinkle lights and stranger things. It has to be

0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:00.760
<v Speaker 2>a pinky color. It has to look like nineties warm.

0:20:00.520 --> 0:20:04.320
<v Speaker 3>Glowy warm. Literally, yeah, I know. So Josie has them all.

0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:09.040
<v Speaker 1>And then over one window there wasn't a plug, so

0:20:09.080 --> 0:20:11.600
<v Speaker 1>she had to get the led and they stick.

0:20:11.440 --> 0:20:12.080
<v Speaker 3>Out like that.

0:20:12.240 --> 0:20:13.760
<v Speaker 2>I had to lie. I said, they looked good.

0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:16.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you do? You like because she's you know, she's cute.

0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:18.080
<v Speaker 2>And I was like, they look good over there, and

0:20:18.080 --> 0:20:20.240
<v Speaker 2>then I was like, lie to a.

0:20:20.320 --> 0:20:22.399
<v Speaker 3>Child, Yeah, I get it. Does she appreciate it?

0:20:22.400 --> 0:20:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Though?

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:23.240
<v Speaker 3>She did?

0:20:23.400 --> 0:20:25.320
<v Speaker 1>Okay, Well, I do have a question because I think

0:20:25.320 --> 0:20:27.560
<v Speaker 1>a lot of money is made around this. What is

0:20:27.640 --> 0:20:28.920
<v Speaker 1>your favorite winter beverage?

0:20:29.800 --> 0:20:33.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh, eggnog and whiskey? I love it?

0:20:33.840 --> 0:20:34.480
<v Speaker 3>This makes sense.

0:20:34.520 --> 0:20:36.760
<v Speaker 2>Spiked, what about you?

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:40.239
<v Speaker 1>I was you went to alcohol. I went to more like,

0:20:40.280 --> 0:20:43.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, like a peppermint mocha.

0:20:44.040 --> 0:20:45.480
<v Speaker 2>What about a peppermint martini.

0:20:46.280 --> 0:20:50.160
<v Speaker 3>I'll take one of those, yeah for sure? Yeah? Okay?

0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 3>And when did you do your shopping? Do you do online?

0:20:54.320 --> 0:20:56.119
<v Speaker 3>Do you go in person? Do you know, go to

0:20:56.119 --> 0:20:56.440
<v Speaker 3>the mall.

0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:00.119
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna tell you what really pissed me off, and

0:21:00.160 --> 0:21:03.840
<v Speaker 2>I mean this whole heart look serious, I am really serious.

0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:04.960
<v Speaker 3>I know your eyes are narrowing.

0:21:06.280 --> 0:21:09.959
<v Speaker 2>I am so mad that Toys Rust does not exist

0:21:10.440 --> 0:21:13.840
<v Speaker 2>because as a kid going to Toys r Ust, going

0:21:13.880 --> 0:21:16.879
<v Speaker 2>through those aisles, and it was like the most it

0:21:16.960 --> 0:21:19.440
<v Speaker 2>was like being in toy Land, Like it was like.

0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:20.480
<v Speaker 3>Oh my gosh.

0:21:20.520 --> 0:21:24.720
<v Speaker 1>Well take that experience, and if you compared it to

0:21:24.960 --> 0:21:29.200
<v Speaker 1>Fao Schwartz New York City, like early two thousands, yes,

0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:30.480
<v Speaker 1>like it was.

0:21:31.400 --> 0:21:35.040
<v Speaker 3>I mean and they that time that lasted a long time.

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:37.320
<v Speaker 2>But now I do feel like like you could have

0:21:37.320 --> 0:21:39.400
<v Speaker 2>gone into Toys r Us and you could have gone

0:21:39.480 --> 0:21:42.720
<v Speaker 2>a buzz light Year, a little Hot Wheels, a Barbie.

0:21:42.840 --> 0:21:45.920
<v Speaker 2>If you go in there in New York City, it's

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.320
<v Speaker 2>a little like here's a really cute bear.

0:21:50.119 --> 0:21:52.680
<v Speaker 3>That's not true about time, No, no, no, no, there

0:21:52.720 --> 0:21:52.960
<v Speaker 3>was a.

0:21:52.880 --> 0:21:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Whole lot of buzz light Year and Hot Wheels.

0:21:56.119 --> 0:21:57.399
<v Speaker 1>No way, I'm trying to think of where it is

0:21:57.400 --> 0:22:00.560
<v Speaker 1>now because now it's near rock Flower Center. Well, it's

0:22:00.680 --> 0:22:04.760
<v Speaker 1>honestly genuine, I'm answering this question actually legitimately, like seriously.

0:22:04.760 --> 0:22:07.560
<v Speaker 3>It depended because the Fao Schwartz wants are an.

0:22:07.480 --> 0:22:10.600
<v Speaker 2>Evolution I'm talking about now. If you go in.

0:22:10.600 --> 0:22:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Now, my last experience was that they have they kind of.

0:22:15.240 --> 0:22:16.680
<v Speaker 1>I could be using this the right way or the

0:22:16.720 --> 0:22:19.200
<v Speaker 1>wrong way. Don't hold me to it. I feel like

0:22:19.240 --> 0:22:21.480
<v Speaker 1>they private labeled all the toys they sell. Now that's

0:22:21.480 --> 0:22:22.280
<v Speaker 1>what I feel like too.

0:22:22.359 --> 0:22:22.919
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, so they do.

0:22:23.000 --> 0:22:25.560

<v Speaker 2>Back in the day maybe different. I didn't know, but

0:22:34.520 --> 0:22:36.520
<v Speaker 2>I but I but I don't. I don't want to

0:22:36.560 --> 0:22:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Amazon the toys.

0:22:38.200 --> 0:22:39.520
<v Speaker 3>No, I know. It's I don't want.

0:22:39.560 --> 0:22:41.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, what's a great, great shopping experience. And I'm

0:22:41.760 --> 0:22:46.439
<v Speaker 1>not paid to say this. Walmart American Girl doll. Okay,

0:22:46.720 --> 0:22:47.520
<v Speaker 1>my daughter.

0:22:48.320 --> 0:22:52.199
<v Speaker 2>Just not give as dolls. It's great if you have

0:22:52.359 --> 0:22:55.679
<v Speaker 2>that kid, but my daughter just does not.

0:22:56.040 --> 0:22:59.639
<v Speaker 3>Hash. Were gone to the long with her doll and

0:22:59.640 --> 0:23:00.520
<v Speaker 3>got this and I'm.

0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:02.000
<v Speaker 2>Going to tell you exactly what happened. We went to

0:23:02.040 --> 0:23:05.359
<v Speaker 2>this really cute American Girl doll birthday party, right, so

0:23:05.520 --> 0:23:07.560
<v Speaker 2>she had lunch with the doll. So we didn't have

0:23:07.600 --> 0:23:10.560
<v Speaker 2>a doll. In fact, no, that's a lie. We had

0:23:10.640 --> 0:23:12.680
<v Speaker 2>a doll. I'm going to post a picture on Instagram

0:23:12.960 --> 0:23:18.680
<v Speaker 2>that doll looked like she'd seen some it. Okay, she's

0:23:18.720 --> 0:23:21.840
<v Speaker 2>been through it. First off, she was naked and her

0:23:21.840 --> 0:23:24.400
<v Speaker 2>hair looked like she looked like she'd been electrocuted. Right,

0:23:24.680 --> 0:23:29.080
<v Speaker 2>So we were like, she can't she's one hundred percent.

0:23:29.119 --> 0:23:31.959
<v Speaker 2>We were barbing. I have the picture and I was like,

0:23:32.040 --> 0:23:36.719
<v Speaker 2>we can't bring her, and so we got there early. No,

0:23:36.800 --> 0:23:38.800
<v Speaker 2>she was not appropriate. She would have ruined. She was

0:23:39.080 --> 0:23:41.679
<v Speaker 2>a tea party. She was like, she needs tequila, right,

0:23:41.760 --> 0:23:44.800
<v Speaker 2>so that doll's out. We arrived early. We bought a

0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:48.240
<v Speaker 2>new doll. Dn't got the doll's haired one, and then

0:23:48.280 --> 0:23:50.320
<v Speaker 2>two seconds later we had lunch. It was such a

0:23:50.359 --> 0:23:53.120
<v Speaker 2>cute birthday party. We had lunch at the grove. No,

0:23:53.160 --> 0:23:56.159
<v Speaker 2>it wasn't the grove. It was in Sandry City, and

0:23:56.200 --> 0:23:58.120
<v Speaker 2>she had the doll, and she thought it was really

0:23:58.119 --> 0:24:00.480
<v Speaker 2>funny to just like throw the doll on a bush. Oh,

0:24:00.840 --> 0:24:02.600
<v Speaker 2>so we just go from me to his hair done,

0:24:02.720 --> 0:24:05.600
<v Speaker 2>and then the dolls like sticking out legs upside down

0:24:05.840 --> 0:24:08.959
<v Speaker 2>like this underwear showing, and that doll. I mean, so

0:24:09.000 --> 0:24:10.960
<v Speaker 2>she's about.

0:24:10.800 --> 0:24:12.720
<v Speaker 3>Two hundred plus dollars.

0:24:12.760 --> 0:24:14.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, because she's like, oh.

0:24:14.320 --> 0:24:17.600
<v Speaker 3>It's real expensive. Toss into the bushes.

0:24:17.680 --> 0:24:24.159
<v Speaker 2>It's it is us, please come back, toys or us.

0:24:25.040 --> 0:24:28.320
<v Speaker 2>What is your best tip to stay calm and unstressed

0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:29.600
<v Speaker 2>during the holiday.

0:24:30.200 --> 0:24:32.360
<v Speaker 1>Oh, this answer is very easy for me, and it's

0:24:32.400 --> 0:24:37.400
<v Speaker 1>come hard one, but I'm very proud of it.

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:42.720
<v Speaker 3>It's not gonna surprise you. Preparation. I start preparing.

0:24:42.480 --> 0:24:43.320
<v Speaker 2>Your a psychopath.

0:24:43.920 --> 0:24:49.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I start preparing for the holidays quite early because

0:24:50.240 --> 0:24:53.639
<v Speaker 1>when I was just in charge of you know, myself

0:24:53.760 --> 0:24:57.000
<v Speaker 1>or like my family members when I was younger, that

0:24:57.080 --> 0:25:00.000
<v Speaker 1>seemed manageable. And then you have kids, and I was like, babies,

0:25:00.040 --> 0:25:02.640
<v Speaker 1>first Christmas, It's so exciting whatever. Then you have another

0:25:03.400 --> 0:25:06.600
<v Speaker 1>and then you're working outside the house and you've got

0:25:06.640 --> 0:25:09.320
<v Speaker 1>your family life, and then they start school. You go

0:25:09.400 --> 0:25:12.439
<v Speaker 1>from taking care of like I don't know, four people

0:25:13.119 --> 0:25:17.560
<v Speaker 1>during the holidays. As far as gifts go to, I mean,

0:25:18.200 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 1>it becomes I mean depending on like, choose your own adventure,

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:21.359
<v Speaker 1>it could be.

0:25:21.320 --> 0:25:23.840
<v Speaker 3>Plus, it could be forty plus. Yeah, because you.

0:25:23.760 --> 0:25:26.600
<v Speaker 1>Have teachers, you have coaches, you have people that are

0:25:26.600 --> 0:25:29.120
<v Speaker 1>in your life every day that genuinely mean something to you.

0:25:29.160 --> 0:25:32.439
<v Speaker 1>And I absolutely, so so much want to show my

0:25:32.480 --> 0:25:35.120
<v Speaker 1>appreciation and my gratitude during a time that does feel

0:25:35.200 --> 0:25:40.000
<v Speaker 1>so magical, and yet I was finding that this wonderful

0:25:40.040 --> 0:25:42.600
<v Speaker 1>thing that I was doing started to feel really bad,

0:25:43.080 --> 0:25:44.120
<v Speaker 1>like too much pressure.

0:25:44.400 --> 0:25:45.560
<v Speaker 2>Oh, it's so much pressure.

0:25:46.480 --> 0:25:49.560
<v Speaker 1>Like yeah, I just I was under it, not over it,

0:25:49.600 --> 0:25:55.360
<v Speaker 1>and it was not working for anyone. And my answer

0:25:55.400 --> 0:25:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I had to have a little talk with myself, and

0:25:57.119 --> 0:26:02.040
<v Speaker 1>I was like, self, you're either cutting this list in

0:26:02.080 --> 0:26:05.280
<v Speaker 1>a really meaningful way, or you're going with one gift

0:26:05.359 --> 0:26:09.400
<v Speaker 1>that you give to everyone, right, yeah, or you're gonna

0:26:09.400 --> 0:26:10.040
<v Speaker 1>start earlier.

0:26:10.400 --> 0:26:11.919
<v Speaker 3>And so I went with starting earlier.

0:26:12.160 --> 0:26:14.440
<v Speaker 2>What is the start time? Here? Are we talking about

0:26:14.440 --> 0:26:14.800
<v Speaker 2>a July?

0:26:15.000 --> 0:26:16.760
<v Speaker 3>I started. I started a couple of weeks ago.

0:26:17.640 --> 0:26:18.760
<v Speaker 2>That's not too early.

0:26:18.800 --> 0:26:21.320
<v Speaker 3>Well that's before Halloween. That seems a little early.

0:26:21.640 --> 0:26:24.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't think. So I've already started googling some.

0:26:24.480 --> 0:26:25.400
<v Speaker 3>Stuff, okay, yeah.

0:26:25.560 --> 0:26:27.760
<v Speaker 1>And then and then basically I just have an area

0:26:27.800 --> 0:26:29.280
<v Speaker 1>in the house that no one's allowed to go into,

0:26:29.359 --> 0:26:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and you start like creating piles.

0:26:32.040 --> 0:26:33.959
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and then I do, and then I do.

0:26:34.080 --> 0:26:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I do end up getting similar things for you know,

0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:38.320
<v Speaker 1>the teachers and.

0:26:38.760 --> 0:26:40.919
<v Speaker 3>Oh the last year, I do remember I should I

0:26:40.920 --> 0:26:41.840
<v Speaker 3>forgot to follow up on this.

0:26:41.960 --> 0:26:46.200
<v Speaker 1>I do actually think that teachers and.

0:26:46.840 --> 0:26:48.960
<v Speaker 3>That kind of like teachers, teachers and coaches and all that.

0:26:49.920 --> 0:26:52.119
<v Speaker 3>I feel like you really should just give them money.

0:26:53.440 --> 0:26:56.639
<v Speaker 2>Well let's ask, yeah, yeah, what do you guys want?

0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:57.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah?

0:26:57.800 --> 0:26:58.960
<v Speaker 2>I always get stuck.

<v Speaker 1>How many robes? How many cups with their name on it?

0:27:01.160 --> 0:27:02.720
<v Speaker 1>How many to go cups with their name on it?

0:27:02.720 --> 0:27:04.480
<v Speaker 2>I don't know though, because like, does a gift cards

<v Speaker 1>could be like whatever I want?

0:27:10.920 --> 0:27:11.200
<v Speaker 2>True?

<v Speaker 3>Right, they get to get.

<v Speaker 2>Whatever they want, true, true, true. Well, okay, if you

0:27:46.119 --> 0:27:49.240
<v Speaker 2>the piano and buy tons of Christmas candles.

0:27:49.840 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 3>That's really cute.

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:51.920
<v Speaker 1>I wish you were in my family because I would

0:27:51.920 --> 0:27:54.000
<v Speaker 1>like to hear you play that Christmas piece on the piano.

0:27:54.080 --> 0:27:56.159
<v Speaker 3>And and I do love a Christmas candle.

0:27:56.680 --> 0:28:02.000
<v Speaker 2>I have so many Christmas candles.

0:28:00.160 --> 0:28:03.520
<v Speaker 1>The ones that smell like something real though, like once,

0:28:03.640 --> 0:28:07.600
<v Speaker 1>like you're the ones that are like gingerbread spiced punkin

0:28:07.760 --> 0:28:09.440
<v Speaker 1>latte with.

0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:11.879
<v Speaker 3>A dash of mocha. Yea, yeah, no, that's not a

0:28:11.880 --> 0:28:12.480
<v Speaker 3>real scent.

0:28:12.720 --> 0:28:15.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, what do you need depression? Like what do we talk?

0:28:16.080 --> 0:28:19.080
<v Speaker 2>What's what's real? You need that? That's what you need?

0:28:19.760 --> 0:28:24.600
<v Speaker 3>No, I like a cedar candle. Fine. Wow.

0:28:24.680 --> 0:28:26.679
<v Speaker 1>Gianna wrote in and she said I make a Google

0:28:26.680 --> 0:28:29.840
<v Speaker 1>doc with Christmas list decorations needed at links and photos.

0:28:30.040 --> 0:28:34.359
<v Speaker 2>That's fun. That would bring me joy, love it, Okay.

0:28:34.760 --> 0:28:38.120
<v Speaker 2>Jesslyn said, my anniversary and birthday are in November, so

0:28:38.120 --> 0:28:41.880
<v Speaker 2>we don't decorate or get into the spirit until after Thanksgiving.

0:28:42.080 --> 0:28:45.120
<v Speaker 2>I think that's pretty common. Yeah, tradition for a lot

0:28:45.160 --> 0:28:45.520
<v Speaker 2>of people.

0:28:45.640 --> 0:28:46.000
<v Speaker 3>Mm hmm.

0:28:47.240 --> 0:28:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Jay roden And said, I'm from Poland, and we put

0:28:49.080 --> 0:28:51.040
<v Speaker 1>a coin and a dumpling and whoever finds it will

0:28:51.080 --> 0:28:52.880
<v Speaker 1>be lucky for the whole year we have.

0:28:53.040 --> 0:28:56.480
<v Speaker 2>We we have a tradition like this in England. You

0:28:56.520 --> 0:28:57.920
<v Speaker 2>put a little in the Christmas pudding.

0:28:58.560 --> 0:29:00.000
<v Speaker 3>That's not a cake, it's an actual pudding.

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:04.000
<v Speaker 2>Uh. It's like it's confusing because like yeah, it's kind

0:29:04.040 --> 0:29:07.200
<v Speaker 2>of like a fruitcake almost, and then like light it

0:29:07.240 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 2>on fire. Oh yeah, and you shove like ten p

0:29:10.560 --> 0:29:12.480
<v Speaker 2>in there, a twenty p in there, and whoever finds

0:29:12.480 --> 0:29:15.560
<v Speaker 2>that you're talking about doesn't choke pe a pence.

0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah yeah, you just you said a pete. You're not

0:29:18.640 --> 0:29:20.920
<v Speaker 1>talking about like a round green pea. You're talking about

0:29:20.920 --> 0:29:21.200
<v Speaker 1>a pence.

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:23.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but we call it ten p p.

0:29:24.080 --> 0:29:26.040
<v Speaker 3>I was just trying to help the American listeners.

0:29:26.080 --> 0:29:32.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, sorry you don't yeah, yeah, So anyway.

0:29:31.160 --> 0:29:33.640
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how I feel about money and my food.

0:29:34.600 --> 0:29:37.360
<v Speaker 2>It's gross, but growing up, like I mean you, it

0:29:37.560 --> 0:29:40.960
<v Speaker 2>is gross, and I there's no way my dad washed

0:29:40.960 --> 0:29:45.120
<v Speaker 2>that penny. That's what I'm so you're like, yeah, yeah, yeah,

0:29:46.240 --> 0:29:49.680
<v Speaker 2>Irene says, I dressed my kittens up like their little

0:29:49.800 --> 0:29:50.720
<v Speaker 2>Christmas Eus.

0:29:50.760 --> 0:29:51.440
<v Speaker 3>That's cute.

0:29:52.240 --> 0:29:55.840
<v Speaker 2>I love that cute. It's really cute. I think the

0:29:55.880 --> 0:29:57.760
<v Speaker 2>dogs are going to be Christmas elves now this year.

0:29:58.200 --> 0:29:59.520
<v Speaker 2>I've been inspired.

0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:00.680
<v Speaker 3>O ooh abe.

0:30:00.760 --> 0:30:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I am aligned with your thinking. It's the first year

0:30:03.320 --> 0:30:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that we are doing this. I give my nieces and

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:09.360
<v Speaker 1>nephews their Christmas gift after Thanksgiving and their new holiday pjs.

0:30:09.800 --> 0:30:11.880
<v Speaker 1>So I think you get your holiday pjs after Thanksgiving

0:30:11.960 --> 0:30:14.320
<v Speaker 1>so that you can wear those bad boys every single

0:30:14.400 --> 0:30:16.000
<v Speaker 1>night up until Christmas.

0:30:16.040 --> 0:30:16.680
<v Speaker 3>You ran that down.

0:30:16.920 --> 0:30:19.760
<v Speaker 2>No, no, no, I'm not writing it down. I tweeted

0:30:19.760 --> 0:30:23.280
<v Speaker 2>this out into the Twitter sphere and there was very really,

0:30:23.360 --> 0:30:27.640
<v Speaker 2>really cute on this subject. Danielle wrote, every year, on

0:30:27.720 --> 0:30:30.440
<v Speaker 2>Christmas Eve before bed, I used to get to open

0:30:30.560 --> 0:30:34.280
<v Speaker 2>one present that would always be new Pj's. It's something

0:30:34.360 --> 0:30:37.720
<v Speaker 2>my nan, my grandma always did, and when she died,

0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:40.160
<v Speaker 2>my mom started doing it. And I'm thirty six now

0:30:40.200 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 2>and I still get them. Really, I like the PJ

0:30:43.160 --> 0:30:44.320
<v Speaker 2>gift before Christmas.

0:30:44.400 --> 0:30:45.160
<v Speaker 3>I might have to do.

0:30:45.160 --> 0:30:48.920
<v Speaker 1>That because this reminds me. I love traditions. I love

0:30:49.000 --> 0:30:52.040
<v Speaker 1>something that happens every year and that you can rely

0:30:52.120 --> 0:30:53.880
<v Speaker 1>on it. You do it, you know it, you see

0:30:53.880 --> 0:30:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it coming, you look forward to it, you cherish it.

0:30:56.000 --> 0:30:56.400
<v Speaker 3>It's great.

0:30:56.800 --> 0:31:00.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Lizzie said, holidays are hard for me because my

0:31:00.080 --> 0:31:02.920
<v Speaker 2>parents divorced and my dad moved out, so it's always

0:31:02.920 --> 0:31:06.520
<v Speaker 2>an awkward family reunion for us on Christmas Eve. I

0:31:06.560 --> 0:31:09.840
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people listening to this have this experience.

0:31:10.040 --> 0:31:13.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I get that. Yeah, my parents were divorced, and

0:31:14.120 --> 0:31:16.920
<v Speaker 3>I remember it could be a hard time of the year.

0:31:17.000 --> 0:31:18.959
<v Speaker 1>It could be a hard time of the year, and

0:31:19.040 --> 0:31:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I remember still finding the magic in it and just

0:31:23.480 --> 0:31:26.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of trying to stay hopeful that everyone was going

0:31:26.280 --> 0:31:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to behave themselves and we were all going to be

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:31.480
<v Speaker 1>filled with the Christmas spirit and that it would be

0:31:32.160 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 1>it would be okay, because everything's gonna be okay. Yeah.

0:31:35.600 --> 0:31:38.840
<v Speaker 2>I also I also think sometimes you take comfort in

0:31:39.040 --> 0:31:44.000
<v Speaker 2>just knowing, like listen, today is gonna be not the best,

0:31:44.160 --> 0:31:47.880
<v Speaker 2>not so fun. Yeah, take the pressure off it being perfect. Yeah,

0:31:48.400 --> 0:31:52.600
<v Speaker 2>and just know that there's millions and millions and millions

0:31:52.640 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 2>of other people sitting here on this day feeling like

0:31:56.720 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 2>this is annoying. Yeah, Like I find comfort in things

0:32:00.240 --> 0:32:02.280
<v Speaker 2>like listen, I'm not the only person in the world

0:32:02.360 --> 0:32:04.640
<v Speaker 2>going through this for sure. By the way, there are

0:32:04.680 --> 0:32:08.800
<v Speaker 2>people that are together their families, are not divorced, and

0:32:08.840 --> 0:32:10.000
<v Speaker 2>it's still super.

0:32:09.760 --> 0:32:13.719
<v Speaker 3>Annoying and they're miserable. Yeah.

0:32:14.240 --> 0:32:18.760
<v Speaker 2>Just a little lighthearted comment for the holiday season, No.

0:32:18.800 --> 0:32:22.840
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's worth saying that people talk about

0:32:23.400 --> 0:32:26.360
<v Speaker 1>what it's like to still be in their situations or

0:32:26.400 --> 0:32:28.920
<v Speaker 1>in their in their you know, still dealing with the

0:32:28.920 --> 0:32:30.760
<v Speaker 1>same issues that they're dealing with any other time of

0:32:30.760 --> 0:32:32.200
<v Speaker 1>the year, but during a time of the year that

0:32:32.240 --> 0:32:34.760
<v Speaker 1>everyone wants everybody to be happy and sometimes you're not happy,

0:32:35.080 --> 0:32:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and that's okay. If you're bullied by the Christmas spirit

0:32:39.400 --> 0:32:41.640
<v Speaker 1>and you can sort of like park those problems somewhere

0:32:41.680 --> 0:32:42.920
<v Speaker 1>and be like, I'm gonna get back to you after

0:32:42.920 --> 0:32:45.840
<v Speaker 1>the new year, then great. But if they're still there

0:32:45.880 --> 0:32:47.680
<v Speaker 1>and they're still you know, holding on to you, then

0:32:47.680 --> 0:32:49.200
<v Speaker 1>you have to just sort of honor that moment too

0:32:49.280 --> 0:32:52.239
<v Speaker 1>and try your hardest to be around people who make

0:32:52.280 --> 0:32:52.920
<v Speaker 1>you feel good.

0:32:53.200 --> 0:32:53.400
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:32:53.440 --> 0:32:55.080
<v Speaker 2>I think it's I think Christmas is hard because of

0:32:55.120 --> 0:32:57.840
<v Speaker 2>the pressure, right, the pressure to feel so much.

0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:00.760
<v Speaker 3>People are spending a lot of money, which is hard.

0:33:01.480 --> 0:33:03.240
<v Speaker 3>It's a lot. The holidays can be a lot.

0:33:03.320 --> 0:33:07.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, two things can be true, Nayak said. Argentinian traditions

0:33:07.880 --> 0:33:10.400
<v Speaker 1>are epic for Christmas because it's summer here. You need

0:33:10.440 --> 0:33:11.520
<v Speaker 1>to look it up on TikTok.

0:33:11.520 --> 0:33:15.120
<v Speaker 2>I've always wondered what the summer Well does the summer

0:33:15.240 --> 0:33:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Christmases look like? Yeah, yeah, I know, it would be

0:33:18.480 --> 0:33:22.640
<v Speaker 2>very weird to it's just not Yeah, yeah, okay, Jason.

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:26.200
<v Speaker 2>Every year my family does filet mignon and baked potatoes

0:33:26.320 --> 0:33:27.520
<v Speaker 2>for Christmas dinner.

0:33:28.160 --> 0:33:31.160
<v Speaker 3>Ooh yeah, Well.

0:33:30.960 --> 0:33:33.400
<v Speaker 2>We were talking about the turkey not being our faves,

0:33:33.400 --> 0:33:35.160
<v Speaker 2>so maybe it's a Filet Mignon change out.

0:33:35.440 --> 0:33:38.080
<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, yeah.

0:33:38.120 --> 0:33:40.600
<v Speaker 1>Morgan wrote in and said getting older, realizing your family

0:33:40.640 --> 0:33:42.680
<v Speaker 1>is toxic and still having to spend Christmas with.

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:47.240
<v Speaker 2>Them sucks again. There you go, nog and whiskey. Morgan

0:33:47.600 --> 0:33:49.040
<v Speaker 2>makes everything a little bit nice.

0:33:49.040 --> 0:33:49.640
<v Speaker 3>You're not alone.

0:33:49.720 --> 0:33:51.680
<v Speaker 1>See, this is where you can come to understand that

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:54.080
<v Speaker 1>all perspectives and feelings are welcome.

0:33:54.360 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 2>I gotta say, I've just so that I'm relating and

0:33:56.560 --> 0:33:59.760
<v Speaker 2>being honest and calling it what it is. The biggest

0:33:59.880 --> 0:34:03.880
<v Speaker 2>art events my family has had, not me and Matt,

0:34:03.960 --> 0:34:06.120
<v Speaker 2>like I'm talking about you know, your family of origin,

0:34:06.240 --> 0:34:10.440
<v Speaker 2>the Luddington's yep, have always been on Christmas Day. Yeah,

0:34:10.520 --> 0:34:14.480
<v Speaker 2>in fact, and they're ridiculous. Like I remember there was

0:34:14.520 --> 0:34:17.960
<v Speaker 2>an argument that started over whether the Beatles or Oasis

0:34:17.960 --> 0:34:21.440
<v Speaker 2>were better. And I'm not kidding my subjective it got

0:34:21.680 --> 0:34:22.440
<v Speaker 2>dark cool.

0:34:24.040 --> 0:34:28.600
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, that's unfortunate, I know. Yeah, well it's funny.

0:34:28.800 --> 0:34:30.719
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm glad that people wrote in about their

0:34:31.080 --> 0:34:34.120
<v Speaker 1>their real feelings and their real experiences because it is

0:34:34.200 --> 0:34:38.520
<v Speaker 1>reminding me that I can definitely do a little revisionist

0:34:38.520 --> 0:34:41.960
<v Speaker 1>history because I like to move towards the light and

0:34:42.000 --> 0:34:46.239
<v Speaker 1>the and the joyous, but yeah, yeah, there's some there

0:34:46.280 --> 0:34:49.720
<v Speaker 1>were some dark. There's some moments, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

0:34:49.760 --> 0:34:52.400
<v Speaker 1>And also when you get older because actually my grandparents

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:55.680
<v Speaker 1>and my parents were divorced, so I actually.

0:34:55.280 --> 0:34:58.680
<v Speaker 3>I bopped around. Yeah yeah, and when.

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:01.320
<v Speaker 1>People are there's so much pressure for people to feel

0:35:01.320 --> 0:35:03.200
<v Speaker 1>like they're with a ton of people during the holidays

0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:05.680
<v Speaker 1>or be some part of some like you know, jubilant

0:35:05.760 --> 0:35:09.040
<v Speaker 1>celebration that they've seen in a movie or television show.

0:35:09.040 --> 0:35:10.960
<v Speaker 3>But that's not everybody's reality. You know.

0:35:11.080 --> 0:35:14.880
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you're alone and guess what it's. It's a Christian tradition.

0:35:14.960 --> 0:35:19.279
<v Speaker 1>It's a Christian holiday. That's that's not what everyone else

0:35:19.320 --> 0:35:21.440
<v Speaker 1>is celebrating. And so you kind of have to just

0:35:22.000 --> 0:35:24.359
<v Speaker 1>make some room for where everybody else is coming from.

0:35:24.360 --> 0:35:25.000
<v Speaker 3>And that's okay.

0:35:25.600 --> 0:35:29.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Eden said, for Honkah, we light the manora together

0:35:30.000 --> 0:35:32.840
<v Speaker 2>and eat and sing. It makes me so happy.

0:35:33.280 --> 0:35:34.360
<v Speaker 3>These were some good.

0:35:35.719 --> 0:35:38.719
<v Speaker 1>Celebrate I do the whole thing, all of it, all

0:35:38.760 --> 0:35:41.800
<v Speaker 1>of them, I know, some of my favorite favorite favorite

0:35:41.840 --> 0:35:44.600
<v Speaker 1>memories as a teenager, especially because I was the oldest

0:35:44.600 --> 0:35:46.239
<v Speaker 1>and so we always had it felt like all the

0:35:46.280 --> 0:35:48.360
<v Speaker 1>youngers and the babies and just all the lights in

0:35:48.400 --> 0:35:51.200
<v Speaker 1>their eyes and was celebrating Hanukah and.

0:35:51.160 --> 0:35:53.920
<v Speaker 3>I love love love, like right after you light.

0:35:53.800 --> 0:35:56.840
<v Speaker 1>The candles and and then there was just the singing

0:35:56.960 --> 0:35:59.759
<v Speaker 1>it is we did, we did, We sang a lot

0:35:59.800 --> 0:36:01.719
<v Speaker 1>and we danced and then we would get that dance.

0:36:01.719 --> 0:36:03.879
<v Speaker 1>That dance would go on for a lot longer than

0:36:04.040 --> 0:36:05.600
<v Speaker 1>just you know, the lighting of the candles.

0:36:05.600 --> 0:36:08.000
<v Speaker 3>My mom, it was really a congo line. Going back

0:36:08.040 --> 0:36:10.680
<v Speaker 3>to thee. It was a congo line. It was a

0:36:10.760 --> 0:36:14.879
<v Speaker 3>Jewish congo line. God, please take a video. I will.

0:36:14.920 --> 0:36:17.279
<v Speaker 3>I've got some for sure. No, we made it the best.

0:36:17.400 --> 0:36:22.040
<v Speaker 1>And you know what, my my family just that going

0:36:22.280 --> 0:36:24.400
<v Speaker 1>back to what I just said, right, it doesn't have

0:36:24.480 --> 0:36:25.520
<v Speaker 1>to be a big family.

0:36:25.600 --> 0:36:27.160
<v Speaker 3>Sometimes you have a small family.

0:36:27.719 --> 0:36:29.120
<v Speaker 1>There were a lot of times I was around a

0:36:29.120 --> 0:36:31.080
<v Speaker 1>big family, and so there's some there's some shit that

0:36:31.080 --> 0:36:34.920
<v Speaker 1>comes with that, you know, people disagree or whatever, but

0:36:34.960 --> 0:36:38.480
<v Speaker 1>there's also just tremendous togetherness and light and everybody can

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:41.040
<v Speaker 1>pretty much hold on for that one conga that line

0:36:42.280 --> 0:36:43.520
<v Speaker 1>just there's the conga line.

0:36:43.440 --> 0:36:45.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, maybe that's maybe.

0:36:47.920 --> 0:36:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Party all dance a whore. I can't stop it. The table,

0:36:51.600 --> 0:36:52.560
<v Speaker 1>I give you a treat.

0:36:52.600 --> 0:36:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Hate amazing Kristen The Day the tree goes up.

0:36:58.880 --> 0:37:01.279
<v Speaker 1>We watched the nineteen fifty one Black and White a

0:37:01.400 --> 0:37:03.160
<v Speaker 1>Christmas Carol, and it's a wonderful life.

0:37:03.200 --> 0:37:06.040
<v Speaker 3>I love it. There's a great business.

0:37:06.120 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>I hate a wonderful life.

0:37:08.480 --> 0:37:09.479
<v Speaker 3>Hate is a strong word.

0:37:09.719 --> 0:37:10.040
<v Speaker 2>I do.

0:37:10.160 --> 0:37:10.440
<v Speaker 3>I don't.

0:37:10.520 --> 0:37:13.440
<v Speaker 2>I find it so depressing, and some of my members

0:37:13.440 --> 0:37:14.680
<v Speaker 2>of my family love it. I just can't.

0:37:14.760 --> 0:37:18.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't like it, you say, I can't tell you

0:37:18.480 --> 0:37:21.040
<v Speaker 1>the last time I watched it in its entirety.

0:37:21.400 --> 0:37:26.960
<v Speaker 2>There's a reason, okay, as you Lily, Lily said, my

0:37:27.120 --> 0:37:30.280
<v Speaker 2>church has Thanksgiving and Christmas services and we serve food

0:37:30.400 --> 0:37:33.680
<v Speaker 2>and sing. I always loved midnight Mass. Did you do

0:37:33.719 --> 0:37:36.400
<v Speaker 2>the midnight Mass? Yeah, yeah, I loved it.

0:37:36.520 --> 0:37:36.799
<v Speaker 3>We did.

0:37:36.840 --> 0:37:38.520
<v Speaker 1>We did all the masses in all the different ways.

0:37:39.200 --> 0:37:42.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, something is brought up in Lily's uh right

0:37:42.640 --> 0:37:45.400
<v Speaker 1>in and it's we serve food. I don't know if

0:37:45.400 --> 0:37:48.080
<v Speaker 1>she's talking about just serving her family food. But one

0:37:48.080 --> 0:37:51.400
<v Speaker 1>of the most rewarding things that I've done with our family,

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:56.640
<v Speaker 1>like now our our our Gabagan family, our family is

0:37:57.360 --> 0:38:00.279
<v Speaker 1>be of service. So we have gone to do, you know,

0:38:00.440 --> 0:38:03.720
<v Speaker 1>serving Thanksgiving meals to those who are party of ones

0:38:04.040 --> 0:38:06.520
<v Speaker 1>right where they go to a local place where they

0:38:06.560 --> 0:38:08.840
<v Speaker 1>can be at a dinner table and you dress up

0:38:08.840 --> 0:38:12.400
<v Speaker 1>the table really nice, and the kids have been servers,

0:38:12.400 --> 0:38:15.200
<v Speaker 1>and it's funny, they've always been really nervous about doing it.

0:38:15.200 --> 0:38:16.680
<v Speaker 3>They've always been very nervous, like am I going to

0:38:16.719 --> 0:38:18.360
<v Speaker 3>do it right? Yeah?

0:38:18.400 --> 0:38:21.799
<v Speaker 1>And pushing through that discomfort and not knowing or even

0:38:21.880 --> 0:38:22.680
<v Speaker 1>just you know, talking to.

0:38:22.680 --> 0:38:28.680
<v Speaker 3>People they don't know or whatever. I've never my heart

0:38:28.760 --> 0:38:31.239
<v Speaker 3>is so full when we leave experiences like that. I

0:38:31.280 --> 0:38:32.719
<v Speaker 3>almost have been.

0:38:33.920 --> 0:38:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I've almost had the thought that service might actually be selfish,

0:38:38.160 --> 0:38:41.880
<v Speaker 1>like you feel so good about having helped someone else.

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:43.280
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

0:38:43.360 --> 0:38:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a lot of opportunities to do that.

0:38:45.120 --> 0:38:46.640
<v Speaker 1>I think there are a lot of opportunities to do

0:38:46.680 --> 0:38:49.319
<v Speaker 1>that during the holidays. And I also think for those

0:38:49.360 --> 0:38:51.560
<v Speaker 1>who are feeling a little lonely or feeling like maybe

0:38:51.560 --> 0:38:54.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't have that you know, picture perfect holiday celebration

0:38:54.880 --> 0:38:57.360
<v Speaker 1>ahead of them, I would encourage you to look for

0:38:57.440 --> 0:38:58.400
<v Speaker 1>ways you can help people.

0:39:00.080 --> 0:39:00.279
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:01.279
<v Speaker 2>I like that a lot.

0:39:01.440 --> 0:39:05.359
<v Speaker 1>Jess yeah ood, Yeah, I like that distracts you from

0:39:05.360 --> 0:39:05.920
<v Speaker 1>your worries too.

0:39:05.960 --> 0:39:07.279
<v Speaker 3>If you want to look for how it helps you.

0:39:09.040 --> 0:39:10.920
<v Speaker 2>Can I just skip straight to Natalie.

0:39:11.040 --> 0:39:11.560
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:39:11.800 --> 0:39:14.640
<v Speaker 2>Nallie says I get drunk at the airport before I

0:39:14.719 --> 0:39:16.400
<v Speaker 2>treat myself to a trip.

0:39:17.120 --> 0:39:18.719
<v Speaker 3>I wonder if Natalie always makes her flight.

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:23.480
<v Speaker 2>I bet she does. I bet she loves it. I

0:39:23.600 --> 0:39:25.920
<v Speaker 2>just there's nothing. No, we don't even need to make

0:39:25.960 --> 0:39:29.600
<v Speaker 2>a comment on that. Good job, Nallie, as you should.

0:39:30.080 --> 0:39:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Becka says, I just want to meet the love of

0:39:32.120 --> 0:39:34.080
<v Speaker 1>my life so we can start our own traditions. Is

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:36.040
<v Speaker 1>that too much to ask?

0:39:36.440 --> 0:39:38.319
<v Speaker 3>Nope, and guess what you will get it.

0:39:38.960 --> 0:39:43.640
<v Speaker 2>I think that like friends giving and friends miss you make,

0:39:44.040 --> 0:39:46.480
<v Speaker 2>making the traditions with your friends is really fun too.

0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:46.800
<v Speaker 3>Though.

0:39:47.400 --> 0:39:49.319
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it doesn't just have to be love of your life,

0:39:49.400 --> 0:39:53.040
<v Speaker 2>oh for sure. Yeah. Jenny said, we do a gingerbread

0:39:53.040 --> 0:39:55.919

<v Speaker 3>That's cute.

0:40:16.400 --> 0:40:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god. Maya said, I try to catch a

0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:22.480
<v Speaker 2>cold to avoid going to my family for the holiday.

0:40:22.560 --> 0:40:26.520

<v Speaker 1>to find a Charlie Brown tree that needs love.

<v Speaker 3>Us, like my birthday. But they're all about me.

0:41:02.640 --> 0:41:03.600
<v Speaker 2>They're just all about you know.

0:41:04.520 --> 0:41:07.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. I'd like everyone to go around the table and

0:41:07.040 --> 0:41:08.759
<v Speaker 3>talk about, yeah, how much they love me.

0:41:08.840 --> 0:41:10.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, no justice about other people.

0:41:10.360 --> 0:41:13.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh sorry, anyways, Mimi says, a shot of tequila before

0:41:13.560 --> 0:41:14.359
<v Speaker 1>the family comes over.

0:41:14.440 --> 0:41:17.439
<v Speaker 2>It's a must, agreed, can't go wrong with a shot

0:41:17.440 --> 0:41:18.080
<v Speaker 2>aut tequila.

0:41:19.160 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 3>Mai said.

0:41:19.680 --> 0:41:22.920
<v Speaker 2>We go to the cinema, the movie theater on Christmas Eve.

0:41:23.120 --> 0:41:25.680
<v Speaker 2>There's no one there and it's something we love doing.

0:41:25.880 --> 0:41:29.560
<v Speaker 2>I can see that being really cute. Always good movies

0:41:29.600 --> 0:41:32.000
<v Speaker 2>out of Christmas time. Mm hmmm, great.

0:41:31.840 --> 0:41:34.160
<v Speaker 1>Thoma says, growing up, I stayed up late making to

0:41:34.280 --> 0:41:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Molly's with my mom.

0:41:35.480 --> 0:41:36.880
<v Speaker 3>On the twenty third and twenty.

0:41:36.600 --> 0:41:42.040
<v Speaker 2>Fourth, Rina said, we do our annual Christmas karaoke. We

0:41:42.200 --> 0:41:42.640
<v Speaker 2>love it.

0:41:43.040 --> 0:41:43.520
<v Speaker 3>That's fun.

0:41:44.440 --> 0:41:45.160
<v Speaker 2>That's fun.

0:41:46.560 --> 0:41:49.680
<v Speaker 3>Ella says on December first, my younger siblings sprinkle glitter

0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:52.080
<v Speaker 3>outside to show Santa that my kids live there.

0:41:54.360 --> 0:41:58.320
<v Speaker 2>That's very cute. When do your kids write their Christmas

0:41:58.400 --> 0:41:59.640
<v Speaker 2>letters to Santa?

0:42:00.040 --> 0:42:01.719
<v Speaker 3>There's not like a formal tradition around it.

0:42:02.239 --> 0:42:02.600
<v Speaker 2>There's not.

0:42:02.760 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, and you know now that the world, I mean,

0:42:06.239 --> 0:42:08.080
<v Speaker 1>as we have all things get a little more digital.

0:42:09.040 --> 0:42:10.239
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I've got you know.

0:42:10.280 --> 0:42:13.600
<v Speaker 2>What they're emailing Google docs. But what are they doing?

0:42:13.920 --> 0:42:14.600
<v Speaker 2>Snap chatting?

0:42:14.640 --> 0:42:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Sannah, Yeah, there's nothing, okay, all right, snapping them with

0:42:17.480 --> 0:42:19.160
<v Speaker 1>the Santa snap Sannah.

0:42:19.400 --> 0:42:23.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Laura said, my mom makes my sisters and I

0:42:23.800 --> 0:42:26.759
<v Speaker 2>sing Christmas songs on the video so she can send

0:42:26.760 --> 0:42:27.920
<v Speaker 2>them to friends and family.

0:42:27.960 --> 0:42:31.719
<v Speaker 3>I hope Laura's under fourteen. Can you imagine?

0:42:32.480 --> 0:42:35.160
<v Speaker 2>But you know what's cute about this is like every year,

0:42:35.239 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 2>if you do it as a tradition, you see yourself

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:39.799
<v Speaker 2>growing older. Like it could it could be a really

0:42:39.840 --> 0:42:42.320
<v Speaker 2>cute little mashup later in life.

0:42:42.360 --> 0:42:42.719
<v Speaker 3>Hm hmm.

0:42:43.760 --> 0:42:46.200
<v Speaker 1>Sophia said on Thanksgiving, me decorate paper turkeys with a

0:42:46.239 --> 0:42:47.640
<v Speaker 1>theme and we vote for the winner.

0:42:48.600 --> 0:42:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Oh. I remember making turkeys, real paper turkeys as a kid.

0:42:52.280 --> 0:42:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I don't even know what that is. How do

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:56.640
<v Speaker 2>you make them? Well?

0:42:56.880 --> 0:42:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Remember the ones with the were your hand, Yeah, the

0:42:59.000 --> 0:43:03.040
<v Speaker 1>outline of your hand. I remember doing those and cutting

0:43:03.080 --> 0:43:06.400
<v Speaker 1>it out, and then I remember it's getting you paper tissue,

0:43:06.719 --> 0:43:09.520
<v Speaker 1>tissue paper, yes, getting tissue paper and then getting little

0:43:09.520 --> 0:43:11.880
<v Speaker 1>dots of glue and like you would like make it

0:43:12.080 --> 0:43:12.680
<v Speaker 1>the feathers.

0:43:14.080 --> 0:43:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Yes, not that artistic.

0:43:15.440 --> 0:43:16.400
<v Speaker 2>I love the parade.

0:43:17.760 --> 0:43:20.360
<v Speaker 1>You how are we not hosts for the parade? That

0:43:20.440 --> 0:43:21.759
<v Speaker 1>was what a bucket list thing for you?

0:43:21.640 --> 0:43:24.440
<v Speaker 3>You really wanted to host you guys giving this podcast.

0:43:24.800 --> 0:43:26.920
<v Speaker 2>I was like, I'm very excited about the podcast, but

0:43:27.040 --> 0:43:31.600
<v Speaker 2>also we need to be hosting the parade. Yeah, and

0:43:31.719 --> 0:43:33.600
<v Speaker 2>we can make it happen for next year. And then

0:43:33.840 --> 0:43:35.560
<v Speaker 2>I think that that's what I'm saying right now. I

0:43:35.560 --> 0:43:38.000
<v Speaker 2>think this is twenty twenty five. We're going to make

0:43:38.040 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 2>sure that we're we have a float. If that's how

0:43:40.680 --> 0:43:44.480
<v Speaker 2>it happens, Oh my gosh, god, I'm not sure I

0:43:44.520 --> 0:43:46.399
<v Speaker 2>want to do on the sidelines, being like, and here

0:43:46.560 --> 0:43:53.120
<v Speaker 2>comes the barney like that, I think we'd be really good.

0:43:53.239 --> 0:43:55.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think we would too. I think

0:43:55.400 --> 0:43:55.879
<v Speaker 3>we would too.

0:43:55.920 --> 0:43:58.439
<v Speaker 2>Do you guys want to see us help host the things?

0:43:58.520 --> 0:44:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, start the start petition, Let's find the powers that

0:44:02.520 --> 0:44:06.360

<v Speaker 3>Way too early.

0:44:29.760 --> 0:44:31.920
<v Speaker 2>You know, they're blasting Christmas music on the streets of

0:44:31.920 --> 0:44:33.600
<v Speaker 2>New York right now. Yeah, then, Jessica and I have

0:44:33.719 --> 0:44:35.880
<v Speaker 2>full on this is not a joke. We've been dancing

0:44:36.920 --> 0:44:39.759
<v Speaker 2>in the middle of the street. Yeah, we do that.

0:44:40.239 --> 0:44:41.040
<v Speaker 2>We do do that.

0:44:41.120 --> 0:44:42.800
<v Speaker 1>We say we want to live a low key life.

0:44:43.360 --> 0:44:45.640
<v Speaker 1>We say we just want to blend in. Yeah, and

0:44:45.680 --> 0:44:47.480
<v Speaker 1>then that cus to us.

0:44:47.320 --> 0:44:48.359
<v Speaker 3>Dancing in the middle of the street.

<v Speaker 2>A lot of blending.

0:44:49.360 --> 0:44:49.720
<v Speaker 3>No.

0:44:49.719 --> 0:44:53.160
<v Speaker 1>No, you know what I'm remembering about what the holidays

0:44:54.560 --> 0:44:56.840
<v Speaker 1>and Christmas list is that a lot of times they'll

0:44:56.880 --> 0:45:00.719
<v Speaker 1>be well, I think it's probably a marketing scheme, but

0:45:01.320 --> 0:45:04.000
<v Speaker 1>there's a there's like the thing to get and I

0:45:04.040 --> 0:45:06.000
<v Speaker 1>remember when I was a kid, the thing to get

0:45:06.640 --> 0:45:07.880
<v Speaker 1>there was a cabbage patch.

0:45:08.400 --> 0:45:10.680
<v Speaker 2>I know that. Do you know why I know this?

0:45:10.920 --> 0:45:14.160
<v Speaker 2>I know this because Matt always talks about this too.

0:45:16.800 --> 0:45:19.600
<v Speaker 1>And they were nowhere to be found, no, and my

0:45:19.800 --> 0:45:24.600
<v Speaker 1>mother reports like going to I mean like a secret

0:45:24.680 --> 0:45:29.680
<v Speaker 1>room somewhere. Yeah, yeah, to get a I mean it

0:45:29.719 --> 0:45:31.719
<v Speaker 1>was a it was a it was a it was

0:45:31.760 --> 0:45:35.279
<v Speaker 1>an official cabbage patch, yeah, doll, but it was like

0:45:35.320 --> 0:45:37.759
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't find them on the shelves of toys r

0:45:37.840 --> 0:45:39.000
<v Speaker 1>us so you had to.

0:45:39.360 --> 0:45:40.279
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how they did this.

0:45:40.600 --> 0:45:42.880
<v Speaker 2>Back Alley, back Alley deals.

0:45:42.560 --> 0:45:45.359
<v Speaker 3>With the cabbage patch of patches. I love that doll though.

0:45:45.880 --> 0:45:48.080
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, they were huge. But I have the memory.

0:45:48.120 --> 0:45:50.080
<v Speaker 2>This isn't something that I wanted. But I do have

0:45:50.120 --> 0:45:53.160
<v Speaker 2>the memory of my little brother. He's born in nineteen

0:45:53.280 --> 0:45:55.600
<v Speaker 2>ninety so I don't know what this was, maybe ninety

0:45:55.640 --> 0:45:59.440
<v Speaker 2>five whatever. Whenever the first toy story came out the

0:45:59.480 --> 0:46:03.480
<v Speaker 2>buzz light years that Christmas, they literally did not make

0:46:03.600 --> 0:46:06.520
<v Speaker 2>enough and it was the toy in fact, I think

0:46:06.520 --> 0:46:08.960
<v Speaker 2>that's why they jingle all the way. The movie with

0:46:09.440 --> 0:46:13.000
<v Speaker 2>Arnold Schwarzmacker is based on that Christmas Oh they're all

0:46:13.040 --> 0:46:17.520
<v Speaker 2>after this like action toy and it was the same

0:46:17.520 --> 0:46:20.560
<v Speaker 2>thing like the lions outside toys r us to be

0:46:20.600 --> 0:46:22.400
<v Speaker 2>the first one in there to try and grab a

0:46:22.400 --> 0:46:23.120
<v Speaker 2>buzz light Year.

0:46:23.360 --> 0:46:24.399
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's real.

0:46:24.600 --> 0:46:28.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we cannot end this episode without me giving a

0:46:28.239 --> 0:46:31.520
<v Speaker 1>special shout out to my favorite Christmas movie.

0:46:32.440 --> 0:46:36.960
<v Speaker 3>Do it? No one makes me laugh like Will Ferrell Enolf.

0:46:37.840 --> 0:46:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Really yeah, that's your very favorite.

0:46:40.400 --> 0:46:44.359
<v Speaker 1>Well for comedy and for sheer enjoyment, and I could

0:46:44.360 --> 0:46:45.880
<v Speaker 1>watch it a million different times.

0:46:46.080 --> 0:46:49.280
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this episode made me so happy.

0:46:49.440 --> 0:46:51.440
<v Speaker 1>Well you should be so happy because we get to

0:46:51.520 --> 0:46:53.719
<v Speaker 1>leave this episode and walk out onto the streets of

0:46:53.760 --> 0:46:56.279
<v Speaker 1>New York City where Christmas music is already blasting, and

0:46:56.320 --> 0:46:57.600
<v Speaker 1>are going to be amusing dance.

0:46:57.480 --> 0:46:58.000
<v Speaker 3>In the streets.

0:46:58.000 --> 0:46:59.800
<v Speaker 2>But I'm just excited to spend it with the call it.

0:47:00.440 --> 0:47:02.439
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, me too, I know.

0:47:02.680 --> 0:47:04.640
<v Speaker 2>Can you guys send us all your pictures? Do you

0:47:04.680 --> 0:47:06.600
<v Speaker 2>want to see what you're decorating? Well, you know what,

0:47:06.640 --> 0:47:08.120
<v Speaker 2>we'll be on the Instagram.

0:47:08.200 --> 0:47:11.040
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, send us, send us all your

0:47:11.040 --> 0:47:14.440
<v Speaker 1>things and you know what, only because we started with

0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:17.640
<v Speaker 1>the joy and thanks to you all, we were reminded

0:47:17.719 --> 0:47:19.399
<v Speaker 1>of some of the parts of the holidays that can

0:47:19.440 --> 0:47:23.640
<v Speaker 1>be really tough. And I just want to say that

0:47:24.040 --> 0:47:26.759
<v Speaker 1>it's very easy to think that something's going to be

0:47:26.920 --> 0:47:29.520
<v Speaker 1>a certain way for forever, and when we're stuck in

0:47:29.640 --> 0:47:34.520
<v Speaker 1>a thing, a fear, a challenge, a situation of a

0:47:34.560 --> 0:47:36.520
<v Speaker 1>relationship that's not going the way we want it to,

0:47:37.800 --> 0:47:40.279
<v Speaker 1>it's it's just really easy to think it's going to

0:47:40.320 --> 0:47:42.080
<v Speaker 1>be like that and it's never going to change. And

0:47:42.120 --> 0:47:43.759
<v Speaker 1>I think one of the greatest things that we can

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:48.759
<v Speaker 1>remember is that nothing stays the same forever. Things are

0:47:48.800 --> 0:47:52.480
<v Speaker 1>constantly changing and evolving, and having hope is something that

0:47:52.520 --> 0:47:54.879
<v Speaker 1>you can have in any situation. And hoping for something

0:47:54.960 --> 0:47:57.920
<v Speaker 1>that's better and closing your eyes and maybe even thinking

0:47:58.000 --> 0:47:59.720
<v Speaker 1>about what it's going to look like when it's better

0:48:00.160 --> 0:48:02.600
<v Speaker 1>or sound like is not a bad idea.

0:48:03.520 --> 0:48:05.160
<v Speaker 3>And I also would love to say that we are all.

0:48:06.200 --> 0:48:10.239
<v Speaker 3>We're here with you, so whatever that means to you,

0:48:10.320 --> 0:48:12.160
