Speaker 1: Welcome to a very outspoken Christmas. It's that time of
Speaker 1: year to crank Mariah carry in the car and begin
Speaker 1: your Christmas shopping. Our names are Amy Kate and Sophie Torber.
Speaker 1: We're identical triplets and during the festive season, we have
Speaker 1: an identical opinion. Christmas is the most wonderful time of
Speaker 1: the year. In this special series, we're discussing all things
Speaker 1: Christmas with help from some influential Australians.
Speaker 2: For you, Glen Conco, you go, Glen Cuckoo.
Speaker 3: And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that
Speaker 3: chimney day, He's gonna find the jolliest bunch of assholes
Speaker 3: this side of the nuthouse.
Speaker 1: Wow, I'm actually so glad we're sitting in the podcast room.
Speaker 1: We have just been at the shops and it has
Speaker 1: been hectic, like there's nothing.
Speaker 2: Let Oh my god, I'm regretting it.
Speaker 1: Last week I saw those sticky Christmas tags that you know,
Speaker 1: the ones you put on the present so you don't
Speaker 1: forget which present is we They're all gone. I literally
Speaker 1: searched about five different shops like panicked. I asked the woman,
Speaker 1: nothing left, But don't you think it's that there's always
Speaker 1: this lie that you tell yourself that you're never going
Speaker 1: to leave anything to the last minute, Like I haven't
Speaker 1: even bought food for Christmas Day. You know what, though,
Speaker 1: I know we're disorganized, but it just reminds me that, like,
Speaker 1: where are the responsibility that men have on Christmas? Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh, you know, my boyfriend's sitting downstairs watching television.
Speaker 1: He has not a care in the world. I was
Speaker 1: wrapping his parents' presence last night. Well, it's funny that
Speaker 1: you say that about men, because I just went to
Speaker 1: the shop with Dale to pick up presents for his
Speaker 1: family and it was literally done in about half an hour.
Speaker 1: It was just I'll get this bottle of alcohol for
Speaker 1: this person.
Speaker 2: It was so easy. You know what though, because.
Speaker 1: I don't know if anyone else feels this, but I
Speaker 1: feel like, as women, it reflects on you what present
Speaker 1: you give me, even.
Speaker 2: If you give it collectively. Like that's why I don't let.
Speaker 1: Brandon or other people be in charge of just selecting
Speaker 1: the presents, because I feel like Amy saying that, you know,
Speaker 1: Dale was very quick to pick his presence and people
Speaker 1: probably don't have huge expectations on what he's going to
Speaker 1: pick like men can give other men alcohol and they're like, yeah, whatever,
Speaker 1: I don't care. But for women, it's like this Christmas time,
Speaker 1: you feel like everything's got to be perfect and you're
Speaker 1: the one that has to make it perfect. It's like
Speaker 1: with food, like they would have no idea if there
Speaker 1: was any food, Like, for example, We're going to Brandon's
Speaker 1: sister's house for Christmas lunch and I said, oh, Brandon,
Speaker 1: have you asked her if we need to bring anything?
Speaker 1: Like that thought doesn't seem to cross men's heads. So
Speaker 1: you know, I've got to organize a salad for tomorrow,
Speaker 1: which of course is easy, but you know what I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like not even the thought.
Speaker 2: They don't even think about it, do you know what?
Speaker 1: Just back to the gifts, It's like that meme that says,
Speaker 1: how you know your dad's sitting there watching you open
Speaker 1: your gifts and he's just as surprised as you because
Speaker 1: Mum's done all the Christmas shopping. Yeah, well that's what
Speaker 1: like with Reese's family. Last year, it was my first
Speaker 1: Christmas with them, so I kind of let Reese take
Speaker 1: the lead and pick things out. But this year, I'm like, look,
Speaker 1: let's just put all the money into our joint account,
Speaker 1: and I will select things because you know you just
Speaker 1: you never know you, and then you feel awkward if
Speaker 1: you haven't bought them the present that's the same amount.
Speaker 1: And oh my goodness, I feel like the best decision
Speaker 1: we made this year is doing Chris Kringle with each other.
Speaker 2: So it's Kate so fedin our.
Speaker 1: Boyfriends, and I feel like we need some predictions here
Speaker 1: because I feel like I know who everyone's got. Well.
Speaker 1: Sophie and Brandon have apparently told each other which is predicted,
Speaker 1: and then Sovie was trying to We were driving back
Speaker 1: from west Lake Shopping Center in the car just before
Speaker 1: and Sophie was trying to get it out of me
Speaker 1: who I had, and I said no, because Ree said
Speaker 1: that we would all tell each other who we had.
Speaker 1: So I'm sticking to not telling you me. You told
Speaker 1: me who you had, No, I tell you guessed, No,
Speaker 1: I act no, I slipped up. And you think that
Speaker 1: I have someone that I may not have. I don't
Speaker 1: want to throw all my predictions out there because I
Speaker 1: feel like we'll give away who my Chris Kringle is.
Speaker 1: But I definitely think that Dale has me and he's
Speaker 1: going to give me a candle.
Speaker 2: I'm just putting that out there before.
Speaker 1: Well, from what Sophie said, I think Brandon's got me.
Speaker 1: Oh pot twist. The funniest thing is we've just discovered
Speaker 1: that we've all bought the same wrapping paper, so all
Speaker 1: the presents are going to arrive in the same wrapping paper,
Speaker 1: which makes it a bit more difficult to tell who's
Speaker 1: actually bought who's present. Well, it'd be easy for the
Speaker 1: three of us. With the boys, Oh I suppose, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they haven't organized wrapping paper have that. How funny is
Speaker 1: that that we all selected so because I loved wrapping
Speaker 1: presents in like gold and sealk, I do like the
Speaker 1: really festive ones with Santa Claus, but that's kind of
Speaker 1: the wrapping paper Mum wraps our presence in.
Speaker 2: It was so cute.
Speaker 1: We went over there yesterday and she's got all the
Speaker 1: presents under the tree in this like bright green wrapping
Speaker 1: paper with Santa on it, and I'm like, that is
Speaker 1: just such a Mum and Dad wrapping paper. I love it. Well, Dad,
Speaker 1: there was also presence under there with Dad's traditional father
Speaker 1: Christmas wrapping paper.
Speaker 2: It just looks so magic.
Speaker 1: That's still so our dad has had this wrapping paper,
Speaker 1: I believe for about ten years, and the most hilarious
Speaker 1: thing is he leaves it up on the top of
Speaker 1: his wardrobe and it's like encrusted in dust by the
Speaker 1: time it's Christmas. But he used to do it because
Speaker 1: that was his wrapping paper that he would do, like
Speaker 1: the Santa presence in But the cutest thing is we're
Speaker 1: nearly thirty two and our parents still give us presents
Speaker 1: with Santa's name on it. We did a great job
Speaker 1: there with that grivy.
Speaker 2: I don't know if I told you guys this, but
Speaker 2: it was hilarious.
Speaker 1: The other day, the post he arrived with more packages
Speaker 1: and I was actually shamed.
Speaker 2: He shamed me. He said, Wow, I'm here all the time.
Speaker 1: And I've got so many presents, and I said they're
Speaker 1: for Sophie because she keeps get a package is sent
Speaker 1: to me. I have to say, because I've moved into
Speaker 1: a new house. Our new address isn't actually registered.
Speaker 2: It's not like a gated community. Late last day, No,
Speaker 2: it's not a.
Speaker 1: Gated community, but it's a kind of little townhouse areas
Speaker 1: and we don't have our address registered.
Speaker 2: So that's why I've been getting them to your person.
Speaker 1: I've said my stuff to mum and dads because dad's
Speaker 1: retired and he's the best, Like he literally as soon
Speaker 1: as the present's dropped off, let me know it's there.
Speaker 1: And then I get one like two hours later once
Speaker 1: mum's home, letting me know it's there. Just a little
Speaker 1: bit of a change of topic. I was watching The
Speaker 1: Santa Claus a couple of nights ago, and it got
Speaker 1: me thinking about the name Santa Claus because we grew
Speaker 1: up calling him Father Christmas. And I was talking to Reese,
Speaker 1: I'm like, did you call him Father Christmas or Santa Claus.
Speaker 1: He's like Santa Claus.
Speaker 2: As if it was like so obvious.
Speaker 1: Well, it's actually an American thing, I think to call
Speaker 1: him Santa Claus, and an English thing to call him
Speaker 1: Father Christmas. Yeah, well I googled it, but apparently in England.
Speaker 1: In England it was saying that it's sort of for.
Speaker 2: With older people.
Speaker 1: Now the young people are starting to call him Santa Claus. Well,
Speaker 1: I think we called him Father Christmas because our grandma
Speaker 1: is English. But finally on our grandma didn't refer to
Speaker 1: him as Father Christmas. She referred to him constantly as
Speaker 1: Pappy Christmas fucking hate Christmas. It's just let's sit at
Speaker 1: a table with your family and see how you could
Speaker 1: sit there without arguing the stupidest shit.
Speaker 2: Well, what about Christmas Day itself?
Speaker 1: Because there's always a little bit of awkwardness around who
Speaker 1: is going to whose house? And I know we had
Speaker 1: a little internal family argument about where where Sophie was
Speaker 1: going to be on Christmas Day, where I was going
Speaker 1: to be it was going to be.
Speaker 2: Can everyone hear the tone here?
Speaker 1: It was that family dinner and Mum had said, oh no,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have my sight over for lunch, and you
Speaker 1: like cracked it because it's always taken into consideration where
Speaker 1: you and Reesa going. It doesn't seem to matter where
Speaker 1: me and Brandon are going. Is it just me or
Speaker 1: does every family have an argument about Christmas Day? I
Speaker 1: think the whole thing about Christmas Day is the actual
Speaker 1: day itself is always a bit shit.
Speaker 2: Like for me, the more catching up with your.
Speaker 1: Family, But like for me, the morning is always the
Speaker 1: best bit because it's kind of when it's a bit peaceful,
Speaker 1: But then when you've got to drive back and forth
Speaker 1: every on houses, that's the one that gets a bit messy,
Speaker 1: and you do get a bit tired and kind of
Speaker 1: over it. Yeah, I suppose it's like you're catching up
Speaker 1: with your extended family who you haven't seen all year,
Speaker 1: and it's sort of like everyone kind of forgets what
Speaker 1: everyone's doing. So it's like a job interview. It's like, oh,
Speaker 1: who are you again?
Speaker 2: And how old are you? Like what are you doing?
Speaker 1: Okay, but it really is like with your cousins, like
Speaker 1: we don't see some of our cousins and you kind
Speaker 1: of just have to, like, I mean, some of them
Speaker 1: don't have any clue what we do or what you know. Well,
Speaker 1: in my defense, that's why I'm coming to dinner because
Speaker 1: I'm seeing our cousins that we literally see every week.
Speaker 1: We'll just say just to explain. So, so if you're
Speaker 1: going where exactly for Christmas Day.
Speaker 2: So we'll start it at Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1: On Christmas Eve, we are going to mom and Dad's
Speaker 1: house for dinner, watching Karas by candle out of course
Speaker 1: that's the only thing, and going for.
Speaker 2: A beautiful little light drive or light walk.
Speaker 1: Then for Christmas Morning, we are driving back to mom
Speaker 1: and Dad's opening our presents because we're five, and then
Speaker 1: I'm heading over to Brandon's sister's house, which is about
Speaker 1: forty minutes from mom and Dad's house, for lunch, and
Speaker 1: then I am going to Amy's house at fin And
Speaker 1: for Christmas dinner.
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a lot of driving.
Speaker 1: I love that you're just dropping all the locations where
Speaker 1: everyone lives, just trying to show how much driving is
Speaker 1: going to be done.
Speaker 2: Okay, well what about u Kate?
Speaker 1: Well, as Soovy said, We've got Christmas Eve at Mum
Speaker 1: and Dad's and then we're still trying to work out
Speaker 1: it's quite contentious. We're still trying to work out the
Speaker 1: time that everyone is going to arrive Christmas morning. Can
Speaker 1: I just put it out on him right now? Amy,
Speaker 1: if you were not on time, I think there should
Speaker 1: be some punishment because she doesn't get her present. I
Speaker 1: was bang on time last year, under very tight restrictions
Speaker 1: of when I had to leave, and you rocked up
Speaker 1: without a care about forty minutes late. And that's just
Speaker 1: Amy at the time that we say, I've been waiting
Speaker 1: two hours to do this podcast and wouldn't talk about
Speaker 1: people around at the shops for anyway. So then I
Speaker 1: will be having lunch at mum and Dad's with Mom's
Speaker 1: side of the family, and our Nana's coming, which is
Speaker 1: really exciting. And then for dinner, I'm going to Reese's
Speaker 1: mum and Dad's house, which will be lovely, and Amy's
Speaker 1: very lucky because she's spending all day with our family
Speaker 1: like that. But the contentious thing is in the morning,
Speaker 1: you were having to go up to Dale's mother's house. Okay,
Speaker 1: and you're expecting to be days this morning at I'm
Speaker 1: already putting it out there. I think you've just got
Speaker 1: to decide whose house you're spending it at. Okay, Well, sorry,
Speaker 1: you're being really rude. This is where the family arguments
Speaker 1: come from.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So Dale's family they actually celebrate their Christmas Day on
Speaker 1: Boxing Day, and they've done that for a number of years.
Speaker 1: Because I realized that Christmas Day it was so hard,
Speaker 1: it was too hard to see everybody, so poor Day
Speaker 1: was going to be stuck with outside of the family
Speaker 1: all day.
Speaker 2: Poor Day a lot of tree. Well yeah, it's a treat,
Speaker 2: but he.
Speaker 1: So, yes, we're going to mum and dad. So I
Speaker 1: said to him, I forgot to mention that Mum was
Speaker 1: having Christmas Eve dinner at a house. We were driving
Speaker 1: from getting his presence anyway, and he I said, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, Mum's doing family dinner on Christmas Eve instead.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you don't have to come if you've got
Speaker 2: other stuff on. It's like, I don't have to come.
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a question whether I'm coming or not,
Speaker 1: you know what, I mean to come. That cracked me
Speaker 1: up because we're was like, I just want to get
Speaker 1: my head around what's happening for Christmas. Is like, so
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve at your mum and dad's, Christmas Morning at
Speaker 1: your mum and dad's, Christmas Lunch at your mom and dad's,
Speaker 1: and Bockling.
Speaker 2: Day with your family.
Speaker 1: And I was like yeah, And then I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: I feel bad.
Speaker 2: He's like, I don't mind.
Speaker 1: I'm just I just want to get my head like what.
Speaker 2: We're doing bullshit that is. I do mind, but I'm
Speaker 2: trying not to be cause an argument.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: Can I just say though, say okay, just to let
Speaker 2: me finish.
Speaker 1: So for Christmas Breakfast, Dale has asked if we can
Speaker 1: go and see his mum, which I think is fair enough.
Speaker 2: We're not seeing her the whole dad.
Speaker 1: I think it's fair enough. But You've just got to
Speaker 1: be transparent with everyone else whether you're coming to open
Speaker 1: presents otherwise, we will do it without you. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: if I am so, I'm going there to Dale's mom's
Speaker 1: house at about.
Speaker 2: Eight thirty in the morning.
Speaker 1: Then we're going to get to open presents at ten fifteen. Look,
Speaker 1: we're how stressed are we all about? Think someone around
Speaker 1: telling me you faked?
Speaker 2: I'm so stressed.
Speaker 1: Reese was like, we were driving to his friend's house
Speaker 1: for dinner yesterday, and I mean it wasn't a actual
Speaker 1: Christmas activity, which I'm like, it's like two days before
Speaker 1: Christmas and this isn't a Christmas activity, but okay, I'll
Speaker 1: allow it.
Speaker 2: And then he's like, why are you so stressed?
Speaker 1: I feel like you're really stressed, and like there's just
Speaker 1: so much to do, and he's like, but why why
Speaker 1: are you making it harder on yourself? Because I'm like,
Speaker 1: I want to bring a dessert to your parents' house
Speaker 1: and he's like, we don't need it, They've got Christmas
Speaker 1: pudding already.
Speaker 2: I'm like, but iin't want to.
Speaker 3: I know.
Speaker 2: It's like I've run out of time.
Speaker 1: Like I had this huge list of Christmas movies I
Speaker 1: wanted to watch, I wanted to go on numerous Live Joys.
Speaker 1: We wanted to have a Christmas leap over with our cousins,
Speaker 1: and it's literally just all fallen apartle. It actually cracked
Speaker 1: me up because I saw Reese's parents last night because
Speaker 1: they baby sat shadow at the dog and.
Speaker 2: Reese's Dad's like.
Speaker 1: I mean, poor Pip, She's trying to do everything from scratch.
Speaker 1: This is Reese's sister in law. I mean she's even
Speaker 1: rolling out making mince pies like herself. He's like, what
Speaker 1: happened to Cole's And I'm like, it's just so funny.
Speaker 2: Like that just really is what girls do.
Speaker 1: Like you want to make all the cute things, but
Speaker 1: then you kind of like get so stressed doing it.
Speaker 2: No one eats them in the end either, that's the
Speaker 2: worst thing.
Speaker 1: That's like before the White party, I was so stressed.
Speaker 1: I feel like it was about half an hour before
Speaker 1: everyone was coming, and I was racing around and then
Speaker 1: I had to get cups out of the dishwasher and
Speaker 1: I slammed the dishwasher. Shit.
Speaker 2: It was so frustrated, and Day was like, is it
Speaker 2: really worth all this stress it has? And I was
Speaker 2: like it is.
Speaker 1: It really is, because remember Sophie had that discussion because
Speaker 1: you said, oh, we're always you know, we're always in
Speaker 1: a rush with the White party, and that's what feels
Speaker 1: like Christmas. I feel like it is this crazy rush
Speaker 1: that is quite enjoyable, and I'd love to hear if
Speaker 1: other people think the same in our Facebook community.
Speaker 2: You put yourself in.
Speaker 1: A tizzy and do you tizzy youth and Kim, it's
Speaker 1: almost it's almost though that the idea of it, you
Speaker 1: wht and then when you do it, the execuitions like
Speaker 1: doing it, but when it years past, you've kind of
Speaker 1: forgotten how awful it all. It's kind of like it's
Speaker 1: tradition to do this thing, like you know, we always
Speaker 1: Sophie and I always cook dessert on either like Christmas
Speaker 1: Eve or the day before, and I feel like I
Speaker 1: just want to do it, like that's my thing. I
Speaker 1: feel like it's Christmas because I don't know about anyone else,
Speaker 1: but it hasn't really been feeling that Christmas and everything.
Speaker 2: I better say.
Speaker 1: I'm quite excited because as I mentioned where, you're doing
Speaker 1: Christmas dinner at my house this year and every other
Speaker 1: time Kate's been in control of Christmas dinner, so cooking
Speaker 1: for it, and I'm actually really excited because I'm finally
Speaker 1: in control of what, you know, what we're having for Christmas?
Speaker 1: Three pasta, No, it's not the surgery past.
Speaker 2: What are we having?
Speaker 1: I will I will update everybody on our Instagram on Christmas.
Speaker 2: Day whatever is left the shops.
Speaker 1: Really, this is like, that's one thing I actually love
Speaker 1: hosting Christmas dinner, so I'm kind of sad that I'm
Speaker 1: not doing it. I think I'll help Mum with her veggies.
Speaker 1: Though I'm quite good at Kate's potatoes. Kate's quite good
Speaker 1: at criticizing. She'll be like, You'll be like.
Speaker 2: These aren't crispy enough. Not turn the other.
Speaker 1: Do I do?
Speaker 3: Good?
Speaker 1: Do?
Speaker 2: I do good? Roast you do? I think that's a
Speaker 2: bit too much semolina there from Well, that's a bit rude.
Speaker 2: That's a lot of I don't know if I have
Speaker 2: room for it.
Speaker 1: Are you sure you don't have any room for casted?
Speaker 2: I didn't say it was.
Speaker 1: Well. There's been another debate raging in our family, and
Speaker 1: it's a pudding debate, and it's basically the debate between
Speaker 1: the expensive pudding and the cheap pudding. So at Woolworth
Speaker 1: they sell a three dollar pudding and it's in a
Speaker 1: little red container and it tastes amazing.
Speaker 2: It's just simple. It's really nice with custard and ice cream.
Speaker 2: But our mum she always every year she forgets that.
Speaker 1: We ask her just to buy the simple one, and
Speaker 1: she buys this more expensive. It's kind of got like
Speaker 1: dried fruit and nothing. It's a really like fancy one
Speaker 1: that's lots of dried fruit, and it's got glitter that
Speaker 1: you put over the top, and it doesn't taste as nice.
Speaker 1: I can see when mom likes this one though it's
Speaker 1: got all the bells and whistles on it.
Speaker 2: There are woman's just trying.
Speaker 1: I think she has bought a less like because Reese
Speaker 1: is allergic to tree nuts, and I think that that
Speaker 1: one has nuts in it, so there might be a
Speaker 1: non nut one.
Speaker 3: I want to just scratch myself. I want to abuse myself.
Speaker 3: Christine Aguilera singing, and.
Speaker 2: I'm not kidding you. I wanted to stab myself now.
Speaker 1: I know we can't give away what we've given one
Speaker 1: another as a gift, but is there anything that you
Speaker 1: guys know that you're getting or hope that you're getting
Speaker 1: on Christmas. See, I've got a lot of surprises coming
Speaker 1: right way. Normally I pick my gift out that Mum
Speaker 1: and Dad give me, but this year Sophie has been
Speaker 1: in charge of that, So no pressure on you too. Okay,
Speaker 1: sorry said we drove to the middle of nowhere to
Speaker 1: get you. Well, I'm guessing stuff for my new house
Speaker 1: because that's kind of what I asked for. But I
Speaker 1: mean whatever, this will be good. And then yeah, I
Speaker 1: really don't know anything. I'm getting a lot of surprises.
Speaker 2: What are you getting, Rided?
Speaker 1: What am I getting him? Oh?
Speaker 2: I could probably he won't listen to this. He won't listen.
Speaker 2: Just tell us he's going to listen to it's not
Speaker 2: going to he never listens.
Speaker 1: Well, I got him Tommy Hill figure watch and I
Speaker 1: want to get engraved. But that's cool because he doesn't
Speaker 1: have his other watch broke, so he likes practical gift.
Speaker 2: So for what are you getting, Brandon?
Speaker 1: Then if he's downstairs, I don't want to be here
Speaker 1: but this, So I had got him this boxing thing, yeah,
Speaker 1: a boxing stand in boxing stand here, and I got
Speaker 1: because we've got this little gym set up downstairs and
Speaker 1: it's not an actual gym, it's like in the anyway.
Speaker 1: And then we've got I got him this like big
Speaker 1: monitor to do his editing on. It's a curve screen one.
Speaker 1: And then because he says that I have you actually
Speaker 1: talking so loudly, and because he calls me a gremlin
Speaker 1: as a joke, I joke that I'm Baby Yoda, So
Speaker 1: I got him some Baby Yoda songs. What about you, Amy,
Speaker 1: I know you and Dale have kind of had a
Speaker 1: bit of a boring old married couple things and each other.
Speaker 1: What you're getting? Yeah, well, I've got him some work
Speaker 1: boots so when he does work up at his poppy's house,
Speaker 1: are pretty cool boots. And then as a surprise, I've
Speaker 1: brought him a book because he actually loves reading.
Speaker 2: It's about Australian history.
Speaker 1: Does anyone have any inkling as to what they're receiving
Speaker 1: from their partners?
Speaker 2: I know I'm getting a computer monitor.
Speaker 1: I'm so excited to see what Brand has got me
Speaker 1: because it's been really talked up a lot. It's been
Speaker 1: told that this present is going to change my life.
Speaker 1: And he usually goes a little bit crazy with presents,
Speaker 1: so and it's killing me that both of you know
Speaker 1: what it is. So I'm guessing you didn't listen to
Speaker 1: our chat with Victoria Devine about going small just buying
Speaker 1: your partners. That's what I wanted to do, but he'd
Speaker 1: already bought it, so then I felt like I kind
Speaker 1: of had to buy him something to hopefully match it. Oh,
Speaker 1: can we put in our group how much people actually
Speaker 1: spend on their partners, because I'd be really interested to
Speaker 1: know that we had a little one running about what
Speaker 1: people are wanting, and people were just wanting you know,
Speaker 1: like vacuum cleaners and really well, I think when you
Speaker 1: hit a certain age, and especially when you've got like
Speaker 1: a house, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Because really sensible stuff.
Speaker 1: I literally have no idea what Reexe is getting me,
Speaker 1: so another surprise. It's always nice to get a surprise.
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll have done well. I think the thing
Speaker 1: that I love most is, though, is actually giving gifts.
Speaker 1: I think it's so exciting to see someone's face when
Speaker 1: they open up the present you've got for them. Oh
Speaker 1: me too, Like, I'm not even thinking about give that
Speaker 1: I'm going to receive. Like to be completely honest, As
Speaker 1: much as it is nice and we're very privileged to
Speaker 1: receive gifts. I do love picking presents out for people.
Speaker 1: I kind of put a lot of pressure on myselves,
Speaker 1: like I towards Christmas, dare I start second guessing myself?
Speaker 1: As we heard before, I'm like, Jesus is a watch enough?
Speaker 1: Like you just really want to get someone something that
Speaker 1: they're going to really love. Yeah, And as you say,
Speaker 1: we are very privileged to be receiving such nice presents.
Speaker 1: And I know everyone's not in the same position, but
Speaker 1: I hope that everyone gets something that they can at
Speaker 1: least use, or that's useful for them, or they spend
Speaker 1: the nice day with their family. Well, I wanted to
Speaker 1: bring in the idea of everyone getting someone a gift
Speaker 1: from an op shop or Facebook marketplace, but no, I
Speaker 1: wanted to do that, Oh my god, as a challenge.
Speaker 1: As a challenge, I think we've got we don't have
Speaker 1: enough time as it is.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, not now.
Speaker 1: Well, I saw in our group chat about Christmas presents
Speaker 1: that someone I think it's like an idea for kids,
Speaker 1: but they're doing it with their partner. It's like something
Speaker 1: to read, something to do, and something that they need,
Speaker 1: which was kind of cool to break it down into
Speaker 1: those those little topics It's really funny because I feel
Speaker 1: like Christmas Eve is more magical sometimes than Christmas Day.
Speaker 1: And I'm so excited to have my dog Archie because
Speaker 1: we really treat him like he's our child. So on
Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, we are going to be having something to
Speaker 1: leave out for Santa Claus, and I've got a little
Speaker 1: stocking for him, so I'm really excited to give him
Speaker 1: his little presents. So I love it because I was
Speaker 1: in Kmart picking out a quick present for Shadow. It
Speaker 1: was literally like a scoop for his food and a
Speaker 1: place Matt to put under his bowl, and I'm like, Oh,
Speaker 1: what have you got for Archie? It's it's like, Oh,
Speaker 1: I've got him a go pro like camera holder for
Speaker 1: his collar, and I'm like.
Speaker 2: What the hell.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're really making me sound like I've
Speaker 1: got a lot more money.
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: That'sa thing that Victoria Devine says real, a fake, fake,
Speaker 1: real poort Later hopefully that's not the case. No, I
Speaker 1: suppose we' wrap it up there because we really got
Speaker 1: about a hundred things to do before Christmas Day. We
Speaker 1: really hope you guys have an amazing Christmas with your
Speaker 1: family and our hearts go out to those affected by
Speaker 1: the COVID cluster in New South Wales. We really hope
Speaker 1: you have a great day. We will be joining you
Speaker 1: again next Thursday for the final installment of a very
Speaker 1: Outspoken Christmas. I know Christmas will be over by then,
Speaker 1: but I feel like it's really important to wrap it
Speaker 1: up because there's that time of the year when it's
Speaker 1: like between Christmas and New Year's where you're not really
Speaker 1: sure what day it is, and we just thought it
Speaker 1: would be cool to have a little Christmas Ey podcast.
Speaker 1: You'll have to update everyone on the Christmas Morning situation
Speaker 1: if we managed to have Amy there on time, and
Speaker 1: maybe at the moment it's bank account hasn't crippled. And
Speaker 1: also like I'd love to hear what everyone else has
Speaker 1: been doing for Christmas, so we'll put some threads in
Speaker 1: our group and hopefully we can share some happy stories
Speaker 1: from there. But as we said, have a very merry
Speaker 1: Christmas and we'll be in your ears on Tuesday.
