Speaker 1: This is Tape twenty with Mattie and Kenzie Ziggler and
Speaker 1: I Heart Radio Podcast. Marry Christmas, Kidding, Mary Chrysler, I
Speaker 1: don't know why. We know everyone hated me last year
Speaker 1: because of that. Really, Hi, by the way, sorry, here
Speaker 1: is almost Christmas and I am stoked. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: You know that made me think of you're stoked? You
Speaker 1: know what that made me think of? Because when we
Speaker 1: were little and we used to instead of Felice Naida,
Speaker 1: we would always say fleas on your dog. I know
Speaker 1: we did say that. Why did we do that? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I remember everyone was so mad at me
Speaker 1: last year because every time I saw someone or textits someone,
Speaker 1: I was like Mary Chrysler because it's a it's like
Speaker 1: a vine. Oh you know, she goes Mary Grimace, Mary
Speaker 1: Chrysler and everyone that. I'm so sorry. I hope you
Speaker 1: Merry Christmas everyone. Christmas is obviously our favorite holiday. It's
Speaker 1: something that we look forward to all year long, not
Speaker 1: even for the presents. It's for you kidding. It has
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the presents. It's because we tell
Speaker 1: her mom every single year we don't want anything, and
Speaker 1: she's like, I'm not going to get you anything so much,
Speaker 1: so we need to get mom a present. I know
Speaker 1: what I'm getting her, I already know, but we'll do
Speaker 1: it from us. It's really cute. I can't say it
Speaker 1: right obviously. She listens to all of these like religiously.
Speaker 1: She's our biggest fan. No, I have a really good idea,
Speaker 1: but um yeah, I just love the I just love
Speaker 1: the Christmas spirit, the Christmas music, the snow that we're
Speaker 1: going to see, well, oh a huge moment. I'm going
Speaker 1: skiing for the first time. I've never done a snow
Speaker 1: sport before and I am from the snow, so that's
Speaker 1: kind of interesting. But that will be so much fun. Also,
Speaker 1: like guys, it's it's insane how much my mom goes
Speaker 1: out for Christmas. In terms of decorating. We have five
Speaker 1: Christmas trees that go up in our house. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: do have five, one one to basement three and then
Speaker 1: one in our room. So there's there's only only three
Speaker 1: this year because we're not putting them in our rooms
Speaker 1: this year. That's completely fine because but it's gonna be
Speaker 1: so exciting. We have like a lot going on. I'm
Speaker 1: literally bringing Eddie and his family to Pittsburgh and they've
Speaker 1: never seen snow which is crazy. Well, I think everyone
Speaker 1: else has bad Eddie has. Eddie has not seen He's
Speaker 1: going to be so good at snowboarding or has to
Speaker 1: Coda done it before, so he's already good. But the
Speaker 1: code is coming, but not on Christmas two days after Christmas.
Speaker 1: But I'm going to teach you how to ski. I'm nervous.
Speaker 1: Do you think I'm going to be really bad? We're
Speaker 1: gonna be so good at it. I just have to
Speaker 1: not have fear, you know, I'm not gonna Well, I
Speaker 1: don't think you can go on the huge No, I
Speaker 1: don't into but I think that you will pick it
Speaker 1: up so fast because you have such good balance, because
Speaker 1: I don't have that good a balance, and I was
Speaker 1: fine with it. Interesting, Um, the holidays can definitely be stressful.
Speaker 1: What do you like? What do you think that is?
Speaker 1: Do you think it's pressure of like everyone being in
Speaker 1: the spirit or is it like presents or is it
Speaker 1: family like it's a lot A lot plays into holidays
Speaker 1: like it's a lot. I feel like it's just the
Speaker 1: stress of like getting everyone a present, like hoping you
Speaker 1: don't miss anyone to get him a present. Or just
Speaker 1: I feel like that's basically it. I mean, Mom probably
Speaker 1: has so much stress on her for um, Christians almost
Speaker 1: said Halloween for Christmas because she has to do all
Speaker 1: the presidents, she has to decorate the whole house, you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, Like I cook. I feel like
Speaker 1: now though, we've gotten to a point where it's a
Speaker 1: little less stressful in terms of like we have all
Speaker 1: gotten to the stage where we really just want to
Speaker 1: be with each other and send time with each other.
Speaker 1: We don't care about anything else but that just eat
Speaker 1: good food and just like play games around the fireplace
Speaker 1: and just do fun things like that. And so I
Speaker 1: feel like there's less pressure because when you're young, everyone's like,
Speaker 1: oh I want this doll or I want this toy
Speaker 1: or whatever, and none of that matters. So it's like
Speaker 1: exciting now that we can just be present with everyone. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know, Mom, Mom goes out for Hallow for Halloween.
Speaker 1: What is my problem? Mom goes out? Literally was so
Speaker 1: long ago. Also, guys, for anyone that was wondering, yes,
Speaker 1: I did go out on Halloween, I know that we
Speaker 1: forgot to talk about it. Okay, literally Christmas didn't even
Speaker 1: go out with me, So it doesn't matter. Well I
Speaker 1: did go out if you're wondering, so cheers. I don't
Speaker 1: know what else to say about that. Cheers. Yeah, like hooray,
Speaker 1: like I did it. Yeah, thank god. Um. Have you
Speaker 1: ever had any big arguments during Christmas? Any big arguments? Um?
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Maybe like when Mom was like, okay,
Speaker 1: I got you guys these like clothes. Yeah, maybe fighting
Speaker 1: over the clothes because once we got to a certain
Speaker 1: point we were the same size, and then she was like,
Speaker 1: I don't know what you'll want, so you guys just
Speaker 1: choose through these. That was like a hard thing. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I don't think we've ever really fought over anything or
Speaker 1: if we were ungrateful for any posit, even if we
Speaker 1: didn't want something or if we didn't like it, we
Speaker 1: would just be like, thank you so much, Mom. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, keep it the best memories. When Kenzie was
Speaker 1: around like six or seven, I think we had opened
Speaker 1: all of our Christmas presents that it was amazing, and
Speaker 1: then Kenzie started crying and my mom was like, why
Speaker 1: are you crying, honey? And she was like, because I
Speaker 1: asked for a baby under the tree and you didn't
Speaker 1: get me one. And my mom was like, like you
Speaker 1: got your dolls just like no, I wanted a real
Speaker 1: baby and I wanted another sibling. I know, I was
Speaker 1: I was so young. I was like five. I think
Speaker 1: you were like six or seven. But it's just so
Speaker 1: funny that, like our minds when we're little, so innocent
Speaker 1: and pure, and you just really wanted a baby in
Speaker 1: the family, in the family, like you didn't want to
Speaker 1: be that. You didn't want to be the baby, you know. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I'm so I love being the baby now. I
Speaker 1: think it's more fun cute you are a little baby also.
Speaker 1: You know, it was so much fun when we were younger,
Speaker 1: as when it came to the holidays at our dance studio,
Speaker 1: we would do like Secret Santa, and that was so
Speaker 1: much fun, and we'd play like when a dance studio
Speaker 1: we played White Elephant, and we would also do um
Speaker 1: Christmas games like crazy, and we'd all come to dance
Speaker 1: dressed up in like full Christmas outfits and it was
Speaker 1: so much fun. That was always like the best time
Speaker 1: at dance, the best days ever. But it was so
Speaker 1: funny because every time we do Secret Santa, no one
Speaker 1: would keep the secret and we'd all know who we
Speaker 1: are getting gifts for exactly I would Maddie and I
Speaker 1: would always go out for our gifts for Secret Santa.
Speaker 1: Do you think that for Secret Santa there should always
Speaker 1: be a budget, because I think so. I think so
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean we always did a budget, you
Speaker 1: know when we were young, especially that when we're young, like, oh,
Speaker 1: it's not normal for like kids to be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: spend whatever you want, um, But I just feel like
Speaker 1: it should just be more fun. Like we would get
Speaker 1: like little makeup palettes and we would get like just
Speaker 1: hair brushes and beauty sponges and like perfume like that.
Speaker 1: It's such like an easy gift because White Elephant, it's
Speaker 1: like you get whatever you get, Like you can't really
Speaker 1: so it's like hard to do it for guys and girls.
Speaker 1: I remember that was a struggle one year getting a
Speaker 1: unisex gift. This is so much fun. Christmas is just
Speaker 1: the best time of the year. Also, Christmas music, like
Speaker 1: justin Christmas album is a top tier is elite. Honestly,
Speaker 1: it's so funny because like, realistically to the people who
Speaker 1: basically run Christmas in terms of artists are Michael Boublet
Speaker 1: and Mariah Carey. But like we grew up with. Also
Speaker 1: Justin Bieber as like the head of Christmas, like literally
Speaker 1: his album was every thing to us. And also Ariana
Speaker 1: Grande has some good Christmas songs. Okay, wait, I haven't decided.
Speaker 1: I don't have much time, but I really want to
Speaker 1: put a Christmas tree up in my apartment because it's
Speaker 1: my first Christmas. God can I come? But of course
Speaker 1: I don't think I should get a real tree though,
Speaker 1: because I'm not going to be home for Christmas. Well,
Speaker 1: Boost will also probably eat it. He would not eat
Speaker 1: a tree if he when you leave, he only tears
Speaker 1: up like toilet paper, wrapping paper like stuff like that.
Speaker 1: Oh my god. Speaking of well, I need to get
Speaker 1: you a gift or should we just settle and knocketting
Speaker 1: each other gift? I think I thought of what I
Speaker 1: was going to get you, even though I I know
Speaker 1: what I'm going to get. Mom, I know what I'm
Speaker 1: you know what you're going to get? Mom? Oh wait no, sorry, no,
Speaker 1: we're doing this together. We have to chat on the side. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you some questions. This is an interview. Mackenzie.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite holiday movie? You're gonna make me pick
Speaker 1: I think ELF. I was just we were just watching
Speaker 1: ELF two nights ago. Is now watching it. It's so
Speaker 1: funny because I remember when I was younger, I didn't
Speaker 1: laugh as much. Really well, now you laugh in a
Speaker 1: different way. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like it was,
Speaker 1: it was more like comedy. But now I laugh at
Speaker 1: it because it's so cute. And I love when he
Speaker 1: walks into the World's Best coffee places and he's like, congratulations,
Speaker 1: World's best cup of coffee and then he goes hi.
Speaker 1: I just think it's so funny because he's so awkward.
Speaker 1: Reminds me we need to stop talking about boots. But
Speaker 1: he actually, wait, why that's so awkward? No, but actually
Speaker 1: that movie reminds me of like us, like how our
Speaker 1: hum is. Also, when he's like sitting in the bathroom,
Speaker 1: watch he's singing and it just starts like he says,
Speaker 1: it's so good. Elpha is such a great movie. Okay,
Speaker 1: next question, Okay, okay, fine, why why are you interviewing?
Speaker 1: This is our podcast trying something? What is your favorite
Speaker 1: holiday song? I love baby It's Cooled Outside. That's a
Speaker 1: great song. But I also like Mistletoe by Justin Bieber.
Speaker 1: That's a great song. What about what's the good Michael
Speaker 1: blue Blay song? See, all I'm thinking about it is
Speaker 1: all I want for, Like that's stuck in my head.
Speaker 1: It's great. Or what about Santa? Damn me? If you
Speaker 1: what's your favorite holiday treat? There's holiday treats like you give.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite dessert during the holidays? Some pie, like
Speaker 1: apple pie, pumpkin pie, something, cherry pie pie, just something good?
Speaker 1: I guess applecot pie. I don't know. I'm just naming things.
Speaker 1: What's your favorite holiday treat? Um? Well, all the cookies
Speaker 1: are obviously delicious. Oh I forgot that's like a thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably the cookie, but we have treats all year round,
Speaker 1: so it doesn't really apply. I just I totally blank because,
Speaker 1: like you know, also, we just had apple pie the
Speaker 1: other day, and I'm like, is that like a Christmas
Speaker 1: thing or like, well, I think it's a holiday thing,
Speaker 1: but we kind of just do it year round. Got it?
Speaker 1: Pie is so delicious? I used to hate it. So
Speaker 1: why what are your holiday plants this year? Maddie? I
Speaker 1: don't know. We're doing the same thing, you weirdo. We're
Speaker 1: literally okay, so we're going to Pittsburgh. We're going to
Speaker 1: this place called Seven Springs, which is basically like a
Speaker 1: snow lodge cabin, like you stay in these little cabins
Speaker 1: and then you go like skiing and snowboarding. And we
Speaker 1: used to actually compete up at Seven Springs. It's so
Speaker 1: and we used to have like competitions there, which is
Speaker 1: so weird. But now we're going to just relax and
Speaker 1: go like do some snow sports, which will be a
Speaker 1: first for me but not for you. And they have
Speaker 1: like an arcade, they have like a bowling alley. This
Speaker 1: is going to be so much fun. And then we
Speaker 1: also are bringing our dogs. Well just undecided on Boots
Speaker 1: yet because they actually don't let dogs that big on
Speaker 1: a plane, which he's not even that big, but we
Speaker 1: have to figure that one out. But yeah, that'll be
Speaker 1: never seen snow before. Can you imagine Boots and Ivy
Speaker 1: running in slow mo in the snow? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: Well I can't imagine Boots liking snow because he doesn't
Speaker 1: like sand and snow is cold. Ivy's going to break out,
Speaker 1: I think, does Malabo like the snow. And we just
Speaker 1: have so many fun things too. We should also go
Speaker 1: some even though I'm not so bad at it, but
Speaker 1: we should go ice skating at like the rink that
Speaker 1: we always go to, and we should also I need
Speaker 1: to take you to the Goodwill in Pittsburgh that is
Speaker 1: my favorite good one, so good. I know that was
Speaker 1: really random, but also like we have so many things
Speaker 1: that we need to do. Like also, it's our first time,
Speaker 1: like well, no, Dakota's ben to Pittsburgh. This is the
Speaker 1: first time Eddie's going there, and he has to meet
Speaker 1: like my brothers and like our some of our friends
Speaker 1: and family, and also just like we should just show
Speaker 1: them around Pittsburgh a little bit more. I don't know, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it'll be I think the holidays with like
Speaker 1: your significant other or like your friends is like the
Speaker 1: most fun thing. I don't spend Christmas with Eddie last year.
Speaker 1: Um no, so this is your first Christmas together that
Speaker 1: we've spent. Like the months are like the weeks right
Speaker 1: before and then right after, but we were together on Christmas,
Speaker 1: so this will be really fun. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: going to be kind of an overwhelming feeling for him,
Speaker 1: just because our Christmas, our family, just Christmas so big,
Speaker 1: and like it's going to be a lot of energy.
Speaker 1: But I think he's ready to just dive in, Like
Speaker 1: he seems really excited. So it's gonna be great. I
Speaker 1: think it's so cool for us to all come together
Speaker 1: and relax and just not work and don't have to
Speaker 1: think about work and just like live our best lives
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh around the nature and all the snow. It's
Speaker 1: going to be beautiful. And they were also spending New
Speaker 1: Years there, so who is Oh are you not? I
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm decided. Okay, well maybe you should tell
Speaker 1: me that before, so then I don't go by myself
Speaker 1: for New Year's. I'm just standing there by myself, like
Speaker 1: watching the ball drop. It's so funny though, because like
Speaker 1: New Year's is such a thing where it's like you
Speaker 1: don't really have that much fun when you're not illegal,
Speaker 1: like when you're not twenty one, because people go out,
Speaker 1: but like we just like sit home in a base
Speaker 1: in our basement and watch the TV and watch the
Speaker 1: ball drop, and then we're like, okay, can I exactly
Speaker 1: it's not as fun, but I feel like it'd be
Speaker 1: more fun to be in New York when that is okay,
Speaker 1: let's go to New York. It's literally from say, that's
Speaker 1: that's our plan. We could take the train, the meg
Speaker 1: the or we could take the megabus. Yeah, the megabus.
Speaker 1: We should go see the Rockets perform. We always did.
Speaker 1: My god, wait, what are we doing? Why don't we plan?
Speaker 1: Let's do it, We'll do it today. Maybe we're going
Speaker 1: to forget guys. Um, do you think you're good at
Speaker 1: buying gifts for like your friends or significant others because
Speaker 1: I think I'm such a good gift giver or family. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would say I'm pretty good. But I also have
Speaker 1: recently been trying to find more personal and like meaningful
Speaker 1: gifts rather than just being like I A bout you,
Speaker 1: this personry about you, this necklace? Like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: find things that are more like personal what about you? Well,
Speaker 1: sorry my hair. Well you're just creative in that way,
Speaker 1: like you can make things, you can right things. I'm
Speaker 1: I'm not creative in any way. Like that's not true.
Speaker 1: Well no, no, like I just you know what I'm
Speaker 1: talking about, totally in the art department, our department. So
Speaker 1: I kind of like, Okay, I'm just gonna have to
Speaker 1: buy them a present and that's it. Totally. Remember one
Speaker 1: year for Christmas, when I like. My gift to you
Speaker 1: was I like redid your room, I like painted you
Speaker 1: like the paintings that go above your bed, and I
Speaker 1: got you like new decorations for your room. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: was so cute. What did I get you? I don't remember.
Speaker 1: Probably nothing. It's it's really hard getting each other gifts
Speaker 1: when also we're we already like have beyond what we
Speaker 1: even need, you know, like we're so grateful for that
Speaker 1: that we have so many amazing like things already that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just don't expect a gift from you what I
Speaker 1: expect to get from you either. Also, like when you're younger,
Speaker 1: it's like your mom buys a gift and then you
Speaker 1: say it's from you. Yeah, or do you still do that? Um? No,
Speaker 1: When did I get you last year? Nothing? Right, I
Speaker 1: don't remember. No. I got your shoes. I got your shoes.
Speaker 1: I got you Jordan's didn't I maybe I think you
Speaker 1: don't even remember. That's the time just goes behind. I
Speaker 1: definitely got your shoes, because remember I sent you a
Speaker 1: picture of the shoes and I was like, hey, what size?
Speaker 1: But what are you? I think I got a different Oh,
Speaker 1: you got me a blue, black and white pair, and
Speaker 1: you were like, Kenzie, I was going to get those,
Speaker 1: and I was like, yeah, but I have to figure
Speaker 1: out what I'm getting. We shouldn't make a snowman this year.
Speaker 1: What it was so random? Oh my gosh, you don't
Speaker 1: want it is so funny this this pool Brent like
Speaker 1: with the floaties. Probably no, it's like blow up things.
Speaker 1: They sent me sleds, blow up sleds for us to use.
Speaker 1: Could we use them in our neighborhood? Yes, Mom shipped
Speaker 1: them home. That's so exciting. So basically, if for reference,
Speaker 1: like in our neighborhood, we we live on like there's
Speaker 1: big hills and when it's snowy, you just go sledding,
Speaker 1: and like your neighborhood and it's one hill. The one
Speaker 1: hill is so good. And sometimes we'll use like cardboard,
Speaker 1: like we don't even use just like a sled. We'll
Speaker 1: just use the cardboard and slide down. Remember, okay, we
Speaker 1: have a golf cart in Pittsburgh. And remember when you
Speaker 1: got she decided it was a good idea to drive
Speaker 1: the golf cart up a massive hill of our neighbor's
Speaker 1: house and definitely got stuck. Oh yeah, I know. The
Speaker 1: battery died and Greg had to like go up and
Speaker 1: shovel around it and try and get it down. It was.
Speaker 1: It was crazy. Well because we use the golf cart
Speaker 1: to carry a huge mini pool, like a mini pool
Speaker 1: to to slide down, so we had to bring it
Speaker 1: up the hill and then we got stuck on the hill,
Speaker 1: so we were like, okay, what do we do? That
Speaker 1: was That was a wilder experience. But We're gonna have
Speaker 1: so many good memories. I'm so excited and Christmas is
Speaker 1: just the best time ever, the best feeling. I'm so excited.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to happen like right now. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: everyone to have a beautiful Christmas. I hope everyone has
Speaker 1: a happy holiday and happy new Year. And this is
Speaker 1: so exciting. I'm excited for the new year to me too,
