** Not a kiddo friendly episode **

We chat cheering traditions and Christmas magic and yall know who actually brings those to life …
We are on the cusp of Christmas Eve hoes - how is everyone feeling? From farm animals to excessive shopping and the panic about how quickly December is flying by … a friendly reminder that we’re all in this together.

From dark roots to depth - to forgotten eyebrows - here’s to the friends who watch every reel you send - and the ones who answer your phone calls and facetime calls. Those are the real friendships. And let’s be done telling people they “look” or “sound tired”. What we don’t need this time of year, on top of sleepless nights - is added insecurity. Skip the observations people - it’s unnecessary.

On top of the emails - teacher gifts - coaches gifts - a full cvs receipt length list of to dos … we both have host houses for tiny Christmas elves. Hear our theory on why some houses have one - some don’t - and ultimately the nightly debacle that is this little mischief maker. We love them of course but who’s idea was it to add more expectations to an already heavily weighted holiday?

But this episode - is a marketing episode … and guess who we talk branding over - the big man himself: Santa. This one is sure to give you a laugh as you reign in the last week before the holiday - and don’t be afraid to joke on social with us. And we take a detour to mouthwash and water picks - and this folks is why we called it mayhem. Don’t shoot your eye out … (no really) …

00:00:11.246 --> 00:00:30.500
hello, hello hello ho ho ho to my favorite, ho ho ho my hose up oh my god jenny tick, tock, it is a few days until christmas tick, tock, um, what's that little thing?

00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:32.223
it's beginning to look a lot like fuck this.

00:00:32.223 --> 00:00:35.451
Have you heard that?

00:00:35.451 --> 00:00:39.323
No oh yeah, I'm in that part like if it didn't come.

00:00:39.323 --> 00:00:43.343
Have you seen the thing where it's like if amazon shows up today with a llama, I'm just gonna be like that.

00:00:43.343 --> 00:00:44.847
I, I bought that probably.

00:00:44.908 --> 00:00:45.930
A hundred percent.

00:00:45.930 --> 00:00:48.688
I seriously like an alpaca could come to the door.

00:00:48.688 --> 00:00:51.906
I'd be like that's ours.

00:00:52.540 --> 00:00:54.808
We're giving everyone wool balls for their dryer.

00:00:54.808 --> 00:00:55.561
I actually don't know.

00:00:55.561 --> 00:00:57.990
If alpacas make wool balls, do they make sweaters?

00:00:57.990 --> 00:01:00.804
There's an alpaca farm by my house.

00:01:01.365 --> 00:01:01.768
Is there.

00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:04.552
In New York, yeah, by my house Is there In New York?

00:01:04.552 --> 00:01:06.215
Yeah, I think alpacas are so cute.

00:01:06.215 --> 00:01:09.325
I think are they one of the ones that spit though I can't get really excited about spitting.

00:01:09.325 --> 00:01:15.727
It's camels, no, but I think other ones spit, and I think goats pee on their beard and they rub their beard everywhere.

00:01:15.727 --> 00:01:17.183
That's like how they get their scent.

00:01:17.183 --> 00:01:18.501
They like pee on their own beard.

00:01:18.501 --> 00:01:25.462
I might have made that up, but I'm pretty sure I didn't up, but I'm pretty sure I didn't.

00:01:25.483 --> 00:01:27.108
Yeah, I feel like you're that person who has like random facts like that.

00:01:27.108 --> 00:01:27.969
My brother had goats.

00:01:27.969 --> 00:01:28.552
My baby brother had goats.

00:01:28.552 --> 00:01:38.462
For like four years he had a property that was covered in poison ivy and goats eat poison ivy and after four years they basically ate.

00:01:38.462 --> 00:01:44.662
All of it was gone like as a plant and no longer existed on the property and then he gave him to his good friend who's a farmer.

00:01:46.284 --> 00:01:47.046
I like.

00:01:47.046 --> 00:01:59.662
You're that person who has all these like random bits of knowledge that you would be really good at trivial pursuit, but you don't play games I gotta, I gotta check cards the other day at the grocery store.

00:02:00.302 --> 00:02:00.903
Who are you?

00:02:01.103 --> 00:02:02.266
like regular playing cards.

00:02:03.587 --> 00:02:04.328
God, I hope so.

00:02:04.328 --> 00:02:05.170
That was the goal.

00:02:08.175 --> 00:02:08.795
I love that.

00:02:08.795 --> 00:02:16.153
I'm so thankful that we don't do video because we both we are makeup free.

00:02:16.153 --> 00:02:20.131
Oh, did I send you that quote that I saw on Instagram yesterday?

00:02:20.131 --> 00:02:21.496
Hang on a second, I don't know.

00:02:21.496 --> 00:02:22.479
You did blow up my Instagram.

00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:30.151
I owed you so many responses because yeah, there were.

00:02:30.271 --> 00:02:36.128
There were some really good ones in there I had to go back to the weekend because I was overstimulated af this weekend.

00:02:36.128 --> 00:02:46.007
I could not ingest any more information, so I had to go back and watch all of them, which I did, because I know if you took the time to send it to me then I'm gonna need to watch it.

00:02:46.007 --> 00:02:47.491
So I did go back and watch them all.

00:02:47.491 --> 00:02:49.040
But listen to this.

00:02:49.040 --> 00:02:52.108
So the quote was the key to looking.

00:02:52.108 --> 00:02:55.600
Amazing is looking like shit most of the time.

00:02:55.600 --> 00:02:57.286
So it's more of a surprise.

00:02:57.848 --> 00:02:59.111
Yeah, no, I think that's true.

00:02:59.111 --> 00:03:07.126
Unfortunately, I waffle between looking like Gary Busey and then trying to really try, but I do 50-50, and I probably should just try less.

00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:09.003
I feel like you look really pretty right now.

00:03:09.003 --> 00:03:09.405
Actually.

00:03:10.889 --> 00:03:11.330
Thank you.

00:03:11.330 --> 00:03:13.086
Is it the red eye patches?

00:03:14.362 --> 00:03:18.191
I don't know, I feel like your forehead's, like I mean, you look like you have a filter on.

00:03:19.121 --> 00:03:20.867
I don't actually have a zip right here, do you see this?

00:03:21.108 --> 00:03:25.691
Well, I mean I do now that you just pointed it out, but um, can we talk about my roots?

00:03:25.691 --> 00:03:26.252
Did you see?

00:03:26.252 --> 00:03:35.201
I'm getting them painted darker now I fucking love a dark root well, just because you know, I did the collar consult and that was one of the things that she recommended.

00:03:35.201 --> 00:03:38.230
So it gives your face so much depth.

00:03:38.812 --> 00:03:39.915
Oh, thank you.

00:03:39.915 --> 00:03:43.506
It brings like darkness, though, like where you would normally have like more of a tan.

00:03:43.506 --> 00:03:45.191
I'm obsessed with a dark root.

00:03:45.191 --> 00:03:46.506
I drive Ashley crazy.

00:03:46.506 --> 00:03:49.127
She said I'm not, officially, the only client that does it.

00:03:49.127 --> 00:03:50.544
Now, though, there's like two or three.

00:03:50.544 --> 00:03:58.881
But everyone else wants that color straight to their root and I'm like, no, please paint my roots dark, yep, and lighten the rest of my hair, but does it get?

00:03:58.920 --> 00:04:04.209
like on your forehead, like I look like I had a bad spray tan, I get real pitched up about it.

00:04:04.288 --> 00:04:05.009
I do tell her.

00:04:05.009 --> 00:04:08.574
As soon as she's done placing it on, I'm like can you wipe out my forehead?

00:04:08.574 --> 00:04:13.384
It does get a little sketchy for like two days.

00:04:13.384 --> 00:04:18.942
If you get them to go after it sooner, it's better, but I do get a little twisted about the forehead color.

00:04:18.961 --> 00:04:29.670
Well, the funny part was is that I had like a huge event at Clark School like hours, hours after I got my hair done and it looked like I had just like rubbed mud all across my hair.

00:04:29.769 --> 00:04:30.612
It's so annoying.

00:04:30.612 --> 00:04:36.136
No, have them like immediately, as soon as they're done painting the color on, have them touch up around there.

00:04:36.377 --> 00:04:36.839
Yeah, I need to do that.

00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.769
Like some kind of special, like liquid thing.

00:04:40.519 --> 00:04:41.704
What are you drinking this morning?

00:04:41.704 --> 00:04:43.230
What's your beverage of choice?

00:04:47.360 --> 00:04:49.230
This is that gut health stuff, because I feel like I'm hanging on by a thread.

00:04:49.230 --> 00:04:50.154
I haven't had coffee.

00:04:50.154 --> 00:04:55.211
I did have one Diet Coke this week, but I've mostly just been drinking gut health juice.

00:04:56.740 --> 00:05:01.461
I started a new supplement myself and it's a mixer that you Do.

00:05:01.461 --> 00:05:02.865
You follow the Rambling Redhead?

00:05:02.865 --> 00:05:09.745
I think I do, so she's like the girl who does all the elf giveaways that I'm obsessed with.

00:05:09.745 --> 00:05:12.851
She does like solid, solid giveaways, yeah, um.

00:05:12.851 --> 00:05:14.586
But she started doing a supplement.

00:05:14.586 --> 00:05:19.062
It's got like magnesium and all this other shit in it, so I started that about I don't know a week and a half ago.

00:05:19.062 --> 00:05:22.230
It's time will tell, do I?

00:05:22.370 --> 00:05:24.774
know younger or wait.

00:05:24.774 --> 00:05:28.120
No, this might be closer to month six of this and I actually like love it.

00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:33.632
Somebody asked me about it the other day and I was like you know what?

00:05:33.632 --> 00:05:36.264
I think I'm on like month six and I'm kind of into it.

00:05:36.485 --> 00:05:40.161
That's great I'm all about healthy guts, especially this time.

00:05:40.161 --> 00:05:46.725
You know who also loves a supplement, which made me love her more Our hormone person.

00:05:46.725 --> 00:05:50.668
She actually is where most doctors are like.

00:05:50.668 --> 00:05:56.252
They like to tell you that all of that's just nothing, or like a waste of your money or a waste of your time.

00:05:56.252 --> 00:05:57.814
She's like no, I love a supplement.

00:05:58.254 --> 00:06:01.216
I'm no joke, I seriously take like 12 a day.

00:06:01.718 --> 00:06:09.069
No, she's like if you want to bring in the bottles, like I'll look over them but like I'm never going to tell you not to take a supplement, like there's so much benefit to supplement.

00:06:09.170 --> 00:06:10.250
She's pro supplement.

00:06:10.250 --> 00:06:10.752
I love that.

00:06:10.752 --> 00:06:15.346
She looked at what I was taking and she was like let's switch this vitamin B to a B complex.

00:06:15.346 --> 00:06:18.593
Like I cannot sing this lady's praises enough she is.

00:06:19.112 --> 00:06:20.673
She I know I have an appointment with her.

00:06:20.673 --> 00:06:28.177
I just saw her a week ago, but I in march and she's got a new person working with her and I was like, okay, I think it's really time for you to come on.

00:06:28.197 --> 00:06:34.730
She's like I think I'll come on in the spring so yay, oh, that makes me so excited, and I'm seeing her in january.

00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:37.641
So I I said it last time I was there, but I'll ask her again too.

00:06:37.641 --> 00:06:40.485
We can tag team her yes, we.

00:06:40.625 --> 00:06:41.547
She needs the pressure.

00:06:42.988 --> 00:06:47.956
So this episode is dropping a mere what?

00:06:47.956 --> 00:06:50.803
Four days before Christmas, five days before Christmas.

00:06:50.803 --> 00:06:53.545
Are you, are you ready?

00:06:54.930 --> 00:06:59.288
Um, like, do I have everything?

00:06:59.288 --> 00:07:11.072
Yes, sure, I'm like waiting on like two things to arrive, um, but the girls are done, okay, I'm waiting on like two things to arrive, but the girls are done, okay, which is for me like I did definitely prioritize that.

00:07:11.072 --> 00:07:19.273
Sorry, everyone else, the girls are done, so they're going to have a great holiday.

00:07:19.273 --> 00:07:23.396
We got some really cute gifts for their dad.

00:07:25.622 --> 00:07:28.067
I know I'm going to just yep.

00:07:28.067 --> 00:07:28.747
That's great.

00:07:29.629 --> 00:07:58.322
Well, they're really excited and I think I was thinking a lot about the holidays and how I want to show up and how I want them to be gift givers like we are, and like I just think we put a lot of time into going out together and doing this and I am really proud of myself for my last year, I think when I do that I'm so proud of you and I'm not saying that, by the way, if any of you are listening, because you're twisted and not because you like us.

00:07:59.024 --> 00:08:02.192
I am not saying that I did those things so I could earn a gold star.

00:08:02.192 --> 00:08:08.951
I'm just saying I really feel very different going into this holiday season than I did last season.

00:08:08.951 --> 00:08:12.384
Um, there's just, there's certainly some lightness.

00:08:12.384 --> 00:08:19.728
Um, I will say the walls are starting to close in on the stuff you know, like the decorations.

00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:22.928
So when that same thing this morning, that's so funny.

00:08:22.928 --> 00:08:27.949
Your timing of saying that same thing this morning, that's so funny, your timing of saying that, but that is why we do it early.

00:08:28.129 --> 00:08:33.085
But when Christmas is done, I want to be done and I want it to be fresh and clean when I go into the new year.

00:08:33.085 --> 00:08:35.510
So I do feel that a little bit.

00:08:35.510 --> 00:08:39.113
I feel like we're really getting to that finish line, which is perfect.

00:08:39.113 --> 00:08:42.744
I never want to get to Christmas and feel like I was robbed of that time.

00:08:42.744 --> 00:08:47.874
I want to feel like I got my full Hallmark glow lights.

00:08:48.100 --> 00:08:58.908
I want it all out of my system and I think we did a good job of that I think so too, and that had my quiet night last night where I put everybody to bed and I poured a glass of wine and I watched the holiday.

00:09:00.380 --> 00:09:01.004
I love that.

00:09:01.866 --> 00:09:09.028
I, and then Nate comes downstairs and he starts asking me questions about the holiday.

00:09:09.360 --> 00:09:10.986
I'm like whoa, whoa, whoa whoa.

00:09:10.986 --> 00:09:12.264
We are at the finish line.

00:09:12.264 --> 00:09:12.988
We can see it.

00:09:12.988 --> 00:09:15.145
One mile left of the marathon.

00:09:15.506 --> 00:09:16.629
No, go away.

00:09:17.179 --> 00:09:18.384
We're not talking about it right now.

00:09:18.525 --> 00:09:24.087
No, I'm like this is why I can't watch TV with you, because you ask too many questions, like he used to do that with Grey's Anatomy.

00:09:24.087 --> 00:09:27.215
Well, tv with you because you ask too many questions.

00:09:27.215 --> 00:09:27.528
He used to do that with Grey's Anatomy Well, who was that?

00:09:27.528 --> 00:09:28.063
Why are they doing that?

00:09:28.063 --> 00:09:28.000
I'm like uh-uh.

00:09:28.059 --> 00:09:29.105
Watch it or don't watch it.

00:09:29.446 --> 00:09:31.405
Nope, just stop, stop.

00:09:31.405 --> 00:09:35.065
So I had my moment with Jude Law last night.

00:09:35.065 --> 00:09:42.280
Yeah, so I'm in the holiday spirit, but I'm hanging by a thread, as we all are.

00:09:42.682 --> 00:09:43.767
We're hanging by tinsel.

00:09:43.767 --> 00:09:46.212
Well, that's much fun.

00:09:46.212 --> 00:09:51.971
That's much fun, very breakable, pretty, so pretty, very breakable.

00:09:52.701 --> 00:09:53.364
Very breakable.

00:09:53.384 --> 00:09:56.642
Very breakable, magical, very just like I.

00:09:56.642 --> 00:10:01.373
You know I have this thing too about like what is it?

00:10:01.373 --> 00:10:02.581
What's the quote I always say about my?

00:10:02.581 --> 00:10:03.683
Why can't I think of it right now?

00:10:03.683 --> 00:10:05.567
Both of my kids are fragile.

00:10:05.567 --> 00:10:09.094
I always say, like, I have two daughters and they're both fragile.

00:10:09.094 --> 00:10:15.923
One is fragile like a flower, one is fragile like a bomb.

00:10:15.923 --> 00:10:20.009
That's one of your best quotes Two very different kinds of fragile.

00:10:20.571 --> 00:10:26.099
Well, I feel like we're at the part of the season we're tinsel fragile when people see me and they're like are you okay?

00:10:26.099 --> 00:10:27.966
I hate that.

00:10:27.966 --> 00:10:28.528
Can I tell you?

00:10:28.528 --> 00:10:31.128
I do too, because I'm like that's like code for you.

00:10:31.168 --> 00:10:38.642
look like shit, I mean my mom did this to me today or the other day and she's going to feel bad because she listens.

00:10:38.642 --> 00:10:40.028
And I'm not mad mom, I really don't care.

00:10:40.028 --> 00:10:58.610
But she just kept being like I can hear it in your voice, you sound so tired and I literally was like army crawling across the floor, not literally, but figuratively, like to a very slow, like tired death, and I was like no, I am, I am very tired.

00:10:58.610 --> 00:11:00.833
I don't really want to talk about that.

00:11:00.833 --> 00:11:03.548
I'm hey, it's just like I don't know I?

00:11:03.567 --> 00:11:04.753
because when people say that when they'm right.

00:11:04.753 --> 00:11:11.822
It's just like I don't know I cause when people say that when they see me and that's their first question it's like yeah, I want to go in the bathroom and look in the mirror.

00:11:11.861 --> 00:11:12.484
I'm like what's?

00:11:12.744 --> 00:11:17.623
up Like this, like yes, I mean the lashes are supposed to help Like what's going on.

00:11:17.623 --> 00:11:18.965
I feel like now I'm like God.

00:11:18.965 --> 00:11:20.827
What else do I need to do for Frick's sake?

00:11:20.847 --> 00:11:34.951
This is the time of year that one time Christina and I you know Christina, my sister-in-law, the therapist so we FaceTime a lot Like I'll be like in the bathroom doing makeup and she'll be like in her office in between clients and we'll be like FaceTiming.

00:11:34.951 --> 00:11:39.408
And she called, she FaceTimed me and she was dying laughing.

00:11:39.408 --> 00:11:40.672
I was like what is she going to say?

00:11:40.672 --> 00:11:42.403
And she's a redhead.

00:11:42.403 --> 00:11:50.288
So she had gotten halfway through the day and it's this time of year without she forgot to put her eyebrows on.

00:11:50.288 --> 00:11:56.326
And if she doesn't put them on, if she doesn't draw them, there are none.

00:11:56.326 --> 00:11:57.368
It's just like forehead.

00:11:57.850 --> 00:11:59.472
She goes look at my face.

00:12:01.760 --> 00:12:05.652
She was like I've literally been seeing clients and they've been she's a therapist.

00:12:05.652 --> 00:12:08.509
She's like they've been looking at me like oh.

00:12:08.509 --> 00:12:10.197
And then I finally went to the bathroom.

00:12:10.197 --> 00:12:11.765
I was like, oh my God.

00:12:13.260 --> 00:12:14.687
I really wish you had a picture of that.

00:12:15.461 --> 00:12:16.826
I do have a picture somewhere.

00:12:16.826 --> 00:12:18.125
I will ask for permission.

00:12:18.125 --> 00:12:29.669
But she was like that's like the kind of stuff we FaceTime, so that's like when the phone rings, I'm like like if she says, are you free, I know she's going to talk about something.

00:12:29.710 --> 00:12:30.692
She's got something good.

00:12:32.081 --> 00:12:36.649
I'm like I can be in three seconds immediately.

00:12:36.649 --> 00:12:42.467
I'm like and then other times it will just come up and it'll be her crying and I'm like what happened?

00:12:42.467 --> 00:12:45.519
And it's because she was walking around Like.

00:12:45.519 --> 00:12:47.067
It doesn't like, you don't need your eyebrows.

00:12:47.860 --> 00:12:51.846
But I mean like when somebody asks you that, do you feel the same way, or is this just like a sensitive thing for me?

00:12:52.260 --> 00:12:55.049
I like really want to just go right to the bathroom and look at my face.

00:12:55.399 --> 00:12:57.961
Is there a booger situation Like when?

00:12:57.980 --> 00:13:01.044
there's like things like you and I were just talking before we got on here I have.

00:13:01.044 --> 00:13:03.927
So I have two new fit two new eye creams.

00:13:03.927 --> 00:13:04.948
You have a new eye cream.

00:13:04.948 --> 00:13:07.552
My sister-in-law's asked for eye cream this Christmas.

00:13:07.552 --> 00:13:10.755
We're all feeling it at some point.

00:13:10.755 --> 00:13:18.941
There is not enough.

00:13:19.081 --> 00:13:23.888
Rosy glow eight seconds to famous or whatever the shit is to save the queen herself we need sleep.

00:13:23.908 --> 00:13:38.481
Yes, yeah, I actually saw last night let me see if I can find it really fast a really funny quote about Christmas, and it was kids and I think that, yeah, he said I bet Christmas.

00:13:38.481 --> 00:13:42.751
He said I bet, mom, I bet Christmas is your favorite.

00:13:42.751 --> 00:13:47.610
Oh, it says guess what a parent's favorite holiday is?

00:13:47.610 --> 00:13:49.025
And the mom was like what?

00:13:49.025 --> 00:13:51.668
And the seven-year-old was like Christmas, because Santa takes care of everything.

00:13:51.668 --> 00:13:53.046
You just get to sit back and relax.

00:13:53.046 --> 00:13:57.230
And the mom was like, yes, it's a huge relief, huge relief.

00:13:57.230 --> 00:14:01.910
I was like I feel that in my bones.

00:14:05.039 --> 00:14:07.625
So, and we are going to talk about this and we'll do another disclaimer- like we did the last time.

00:14:07.645 --> 00:14:09.169
But yes, it's not a kid friendly episode.

00:14:09.169 --> 00:14:11.541
Yes, We'll add that Did you do.

00:14:11.581 --> 00:14:12.322
You do the elf.

00:14:12.322 --> 00:14:14.908
Oh yeah, you do do the elf.

00:14:14.908 --> 00:14:18.193
Yes, okay, does your ex-husband do that?

00:14:18.193 --> 00:14:20.924
Excuse me, does your first husband do the elf?

00:14:21.765 --> 00:14:22.827
So this is interesting.

00:14:22.827 --> 00:14:25.072
Well, you know, I used to make elf.

00:14:25.072 --> 00:14:29.346
I was going there, but, yeah, okay, so um he.

00:14:29.346 --> 00:14:38.613
So I told this is what I told the girls, because we also have two dogs and elves are like dogs and I believe firmly that they're not for everyone.

00:14:38.613 --> 00:14:44.826
In fact, my sister-in-law, that's a therapist, does not have an elf, and so the kids ask me a lot and I'm like here's the deal.

00:14:45.707 --> 00:14:52.255
Elves are a lot of responsibility you have to apply, like you have to go to Barnes and Noble.

00:14:52.255 --> 00:15:00.244
You have to say to Santa I feel like that's a responsibility I can handle.

00:15:00.244 --> 00:15:01.426
Not every family can handle the responsibility.

00:15:01.426 --> 00:15:03.350
It's like an exchange student from the North Pole.

00:15:03.350 --> 00:15:05.894
That's how I tell them to think of it.

00:15:05.894 --> 00:15:08.268
He is an exchange student.

00:15:08.268 --> 00:15:10.168
He comes with a responsibility.

00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:14.591
You can't just jack around, leave your crap out, have your dogs eat him.

00:15:14.591 --> 00:15:15.481
It's a very.

00:15:15.481 --> 00:15:16.927
You got to be a host.

00:15:16.927 --> 00:15:21.912
So when we were first talking about him coming back, they were like do you think we'll get an alpha dad?

00:15:21.912 --> 00:15:23.400
And I was like I don't know.

00:15:23.400 --> 00:15:28.746
You need to talk to your dad about whether or not that's something that he feels like he wants to do.

00:15:28.746 --> 00:15:29.908
Not everyone has one.

00:15:29.908 --> 00:15:31.710
It's a low pressure situation.

00:15:31.710 --> 00:15:37.154
Santa doesn't need these little jack holes running around all over with people that can't maintain them.

00:15:37.154 --> 00:15:38.537
That's not fair and appropriate.

00:15:38.537 --> 00:15:44.580
He has got a full plate this time of year also, I know.

00:15:44.580 --> 00:15:47.590
But no, santa, I mean, yes, santa's got a full plate.

00:15:47.590 --> 00:15:52.371
He can't be dinging around worrying about where Joe, schmo, larry and Tinsel are.

00:15:52.371 --> 00:15:55.683
Responsible families need only apply.

00:15:55.683 --> 00:16:00.854
So they did end up getting one into the season a little bit.

00:16:01.379 --> 00:16:01.701
Okay.

00:16:02.582 --> 00:16:05.710
Yep, so there is an elf at both places.

00:16:05.710 --> 00:16:06.451
There's a girl.

00:16:06.451 --> 00:16:13.210
They have a girl named potential um at their dads, okay do you have an elf?

00:16:13.671 --> 00:16:14.793
we do so we've.

00:16:14.793 --> 00:16:17.883
I thought I told you this story about um.

00:16:17.883 --> 00:16:22.429
Nate's mom made these back in the 80s, before the elf was even a thing.

00:16:22.429 --> 00:16:24.452
So we have truly actually let me get a pic.

00:16:24.452 --> 00:16:26.216
Let me, let me go grab elf One sec.

00:16:26.216 --> 00:16:38.671
So like Elfie looks a lot different than everybody else's.

00:16:39.282 --> 00:16:41.369
I have two other friends who have different elves.

00:16:41.980 --> 00:16:42.965
So this is Elfie.

00:16:42.965 --> 00:16:46.346
Um, I'll snap a pic for social.

00:16:46.548 --> 00:16:54.625
I know we have commercial elf, but I do have friends who have different elves and then this is the, the cardigan that Nate crocheted for Elfie.

00:16:54.625 --> 00:16:59.139
Oh my, god, I should have had Nate crochet a cardigan he totally would have.

00:16:59.821 --> 00:17:12.855
Um, so, yes, elfie, yeah, but here the thing I told my husband a long time ago I want nothing to do with this damn thing, nothing to do.

00:17:12.855 --> 00:17:19.228
I am in charge of Christmas shopping, yeah, teacher stuff, yeah, pta.

00:17:19.228 --> 00:17:25.888
If you want the elf, I implore you to handle the elf.

00:17:25.888 --> 00:17:28.292
Yes, it's a lot.

00:17:28.333 --> 00:17:31.726
Like I said, it's a lot of responsibility and I don't want it.

00:17:32.067 --> 00:17:33.810
Nope, I understand, I want it.

00:17:33.810 --> 00:17:38.891
So the other day Nate leaves the house at three 30 in the morning to go to the gym.

00:17:38.891 --> 00:17:40.042
I see all he does.

00:17:40.644 --> 00:17:42.329
No, no, no, no I wake up.

00:17:42.559 --> 00:17:49.291
You know, the first thing I do when I roll over is correct my email, because I'm a psycho you are a psycho.

00:17:49.311 --> 00:17:50.200
That's really bizarre.

00:17:50.823 --> 00:17:53.434
I know you're about to say that and guess what?

00:17:53.434 --> 00:17:54.990
I had an email in my inbox.

00:17:54.990 --> 00:17:55.778
Shit.

00:17:55.778 --> 00:18:03.118
I forgot to move Elfie, and so I.

00:18:03.118 --> 00:18:07.367
I was pissed and I had to go move the damn elf.

00:18:08.049 --> 00:18:08.671
I would have went to.

00:18:09.492 --> 00:18:09.933
We love you.

00:18:09.953 --> 00:18:10.114
Nate.

00:18:11.364 --> 00:18:13.450
So I just put him on top of the dog crate.

00:18:13.450 --> 00:18:16.286
I was like he can hang out here, that's not risky.

00:18:16.286 --> 00:18:18.352
Nobody was in it.

00:18:18.352 --> 00:18:20.404
And so Clark walks out.

00:18:20.404 --> 00:18:21.268
She's looking for Alfie.

00:18:21.500 --> 00:18:32.522
Usually he hides, does funny things, things, sits on the toilet you know dad humor kind of stuff and she sees him sitting on the dog crate and she's like I could.

00:18:32.522 --> 00:18:35.288
She just has it all over her face like she is disappointed.

00:18:35.288 --> 00:18:38.782
And so like an hour goes by and I kept.

00:18:38.782 --> 00:18:40.933
I pumped her a couple of times and like she didn't say anything.

00:18:40.933 --> 00:18:45.369
And then finally on the way to school I was like so seriously, what?

00:18:45.369 --> 00:18:47.105
Why were you upset this morning about elfie?

00:18:47.105 --> 00:18:48.409
Like what, what's going on?

00:18:48.409 --> 00:18:50.301
Like you could tell she was visibly upset.

00:18:50.301 --> 00:18:54.172
She was like he already hid on the dog crate.

00:18:54.172 --> 00:18:57.621
He could really find some better places to hide.

00:18:57.621 --> 00:19:00.067
Just repeating this stuff he's already done this season.

00:19:00.067 --> 00:19:02.432
And I was like mother of pearl.

00:19:02.432 --> 00:19:18.531
I'm like god darn, I didn't want nothing to do with this damn thing and now I've let her down because I had a shitty spot repeat on, por favor and so I told Nate I was like that is it, I am done touching this elf.

00:19:18.692 --> 00:19:19.733
I am not good at it.

00:19:19.733 --> 00:19:21.942
She did not like where I hid.

00:19:21.942 --> 00:19:25.931
So yeah, no more, no more, I just no, I can't handle it.

00:19:25.931 --> 00:19:26.531
One more thing.

00:19:27.073 --> 00:19:27.693
No, I understand.

00:19:27.693 --> 00:19:33.026
I have an alarm on my phone, like every night, so that I Nate jot that idea down.

00:19:33.066 --> 00:19:33.848
That is genius.

00:19:34.200 --> 00:19:36.986
I'm a big alarm person, so I have an alarm on my phone.

00:19:36.986 --> 00:19:45.472
I do I really people don't understand because they're like that's I think that's part of the joy of the chaos of me is like.

00:19:45.732 --> 00:19:46.515
It's excessive, though.

00:19:46.515 --> 00:19:51.109
Pull up your old phone right now, cause I want to see how many alarms you've got like active.

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:53.047
I cleaned them out the other day.

00:19:53.047 --> 00:20:00.471
Well, I've already turned off, like some of the ones, for like the morning, but like typically, I have them labeled.

00:20:00.471 --> 00:20:01.636
We're three scrolls.

00:20:01.939 --> 00:20:03.463
Okay, we're at four scrolls, people.

00:20:03.463 --> 00:20:08.861
Four scrolls labeled three scrolls.

00:20:08.861 --> 00:20:09.883
Okay, we're at four scrolls, people.

00:20:09.883 --> 00:20:10.222
Four scrolls.

00:20:10.222 --> 00:20:10.624
Wow, they're labeled.

00:20:10.624 --> 00:20:10.923
God love you.

00:20:10.923 --> 00:20:18.182
Let me see how many I have, okay this is so funny because I have two squirrels, oh well, one scroll.

00:20:18.282 --> 00:20:29.573
But no, I have, and they're all labeled and they have like things and some of them are like whatever, and so I go through once the day, once we start passing that part of the day, and start hitting them back on.

00:20:29.573 --> 00:20:35.772
But you know, if you're with me, there's like yeah, because my brain you know what?

00:20:35.772 --> 00:20:39.888
It's the same as the watch I didn't use to do this in the last two years.

00:20:39.888 --> 00:20:41.748
This is actually older than taking off the watch.

00:20:41.748 --> 00:21:17.305
I started doing this because it gives, because I know that someone's coming to get me Right, like I really would have thrived with like a secretary, like I truly would have done so great with like a big office and like a window and a secretary, like a beautiful girl or man, whatever, who's like five minute warning, yeah, that really is like where I shine, but like doing that, this is as close as I can get from that person for myself.

00:21:18.165 --> 00:21:21.252
But like you should see, if there's like a sound, that's like a knock.

00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:28.231
That's really where I like if I have a five minute warning, I can really pull my shit together.

00:21:28.231 --> 00:21:34.153
But like outside of that, that's why I'm like sometimes I'll talk to you and be like hi.

00:21:34.153 --> 00:21:38.250
So I've looked at my calendar and it looks like I took a break last week from putting things on my calendar.

00:21:40.020 --> 00:21:41.469
You're like where are we and what are we doing?

00:21:41.469 --> 00:21:43.259
This is what I think.

00:21:43.259 --> 00:21:46.240
I got down the other day and I was like what the heck I'm like?

00:21:46.240 --> 00:21:48.723
I did not write it down and so it doesn't happen.

00:21:49.708 --> 00:22:10.185
Oh yeah, no, I really like, I really do sit down and go through, but you know the days are so busy right now that I'm not always like.

00:22:10.185 --> 00:22:11.409
I'm like, ooh, that's going to have to be a mental note.

00:22:11.409 --> 00:22:19.750
I called a dermatologist yesterday and I was like hi, fairly sure that I have an write it down when I was there last December, so I'm going to need some help here, or I've already missed it, and she goes nope, we see you next Thursday at 3 o'clock.

00:22:19.750 --> 00:22:21.143
I was like and I love that.

00:22:21.143 --> 00:22:22.085
Thank you so much.

00:22:22.486 --> 00:22:23.127
Say look at you.

00:22:23.127 --> 00:22:25.313
You remembered, though that's going to count for something I knew.

00:22:25.313 --> 00:22:35.526
Well, because this is like the time of year when, I like go in, and I was like uh, but yes, so I have a fun game for us to play today.

00:22:37.106 --> 00:22:39.249
By the way, back to the cards.

00:22:39.249 --> 00:22:41.670
I actually do want to learn.

00:22:41.670 --> 00:22:42.070
I want to.

00:22:42.070 --> 00:22:46.032
I think I used to know some card games like war and solitaire, so they could tell my list.

00:22:46.032 --> 00:22:47.034
I love solitaire.

00:22:47.753 --> 00:22:50.996
Sometimes, when I just need like a minute to not think, I play solitaire.

00:22:52.037 --> 00:22:52.876
You play on your phone though.

00:22:53.178 --> 00:22:53.238
No.

00:22:55.519 --> 00:22:56.523
Okay, I want to do it like with my hands.

00:22:56.584 --> 00:23:00.680
Oh, I do it on the computer oh well, let's see your phone you're doing your computer.

00:23:00.940 --> 00:23:02.683
It's bigger I want to.

00:23:02.683 --> 00:23:04.769
I want to get my brain.

00:23:04.769 --> 00:23:06.920
I'm going down the rabbit hole without this watch thing.

00:23:06.940 --> 00:23:15.439
I'm really like, um, I've read two books this week, so I read um the second book of the chestnut spring series.

00:23:15.439 --> 00:23:18.763
Flawless, wait, no, no one.

00:23:18.763 --> 00:23:23.191
Yeah, flawless, no, is that right you are?

00:23:23.191 --> 00:23:24.272
Have you read the series?

00:23:24.532 --> 00:23:32.607
you would love it well, I have, I've been listening to it, yeah so that one was really good.

00:23:32.729 --> 00:23:36.874
It's just like these very manly men.

00:23:36.874 --> 00:23:42.566
It is like your man to a T and they're so good.

00:23:43.848 --> 00:23:51.190
A good friend of mine who knew me back in the Michael Corsay she was actually an assistant manager on another team who I love, recommended it.

00:23:51.190 --> 00:23:52.452
I will tell you this.

00:23:52.452 --> 00:23:56.423
I meant to bring this up the other day and I think we should use this opportunity.

00:23:56.423 --> 00:24:03.782
Somehow I accidentally have stacked up a fair amount of Audible credits.

00:24:03.782 --> 00:24:08.133
Oh, and I think it would be really fun before Christmas break.

00:24:08.133 --> 00:24:14.991
I should have asked you before we got on here, but I think we should give like a certain amount of like.

00:24:14.991 --> 00:24:17.000
Let's do like two sets of flawless.

00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:20.769
We could do like just the first book on audible.

00:24:20.769 --> 00:24:27.711
This comes out so like if you give a listen to this and reach out on social, let's keep it really simple.

00:24:27.711 --> 00:24:32.207
Perfect, we're giving you the flawless credits on audible.

00:24:32.207 --> 00:24:33.307
I can gift it.

00:24:33.307 --> 00:24:40.226
I looked it up, so it's very easy, but it has to be a specific title.

00:24:40.226 --> 00:24:42.592
I have to already purchase the title and then gift it.

00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:46.609
Well, should we do the first one then, because the first one is perfect.

00:24:46.609 --> 00:24:49.602
You managed that Flawless.

00:24:49.622 --> 00:24:50.124
Yeah, flawless.

00:24:50.124 --> 00:24:52.890
Okay, so the first two people to reach out on social.

00:24:52.890 --> 00:25:04.973
We're going to keep it so simple Get the Audible credit for flawless, and you can sit there the day after Christmas when these people are going batshit crazy with their Nintendo switches or whatever the hell it is.

00:25:04.973 --> 00:25:07.728
Put your AirPods in and take a mini break.

00:25:07.728 --> 00:25:08.430
I love that.

00:25:08.480 --> 00:25:10.307
So the one I just read was heartless.

00:25:10.307 --> 00:25:22.287
So I read the second one and then the third one's in my car right now to read, but you would love this.

00:25:22.307 --> 00:25:28.503
I mean, like it's just when I envision these men, I'm like, oh, they're juicy, I like them all about that, but they're very like, emotionally connected yeah, but like, have you read?

00:25:28.624 --> 00:25:43.721
listen to the second one where no, no, yum, because he's like, because he's kind of mean, which like I kind of like being a little, I know, I know like somebody with a little edge and he's got some edge and it's just.

00:25:43.721 --> 00:25:44.423
It was a good book.

00:25:44.423 --> 00:25:47.190
Yeah, okay, I read it a few days so it was really good.

00:25:47.190 --> 00:25:59.846
So I read that and then I read the other night I went to bed at like 8 30 because yeah, and I'm like I'm gonna read a few pages of this new book and it's called one by one.

00:25:59.846 --> 00:26:01.147
It's by frida mcfadden.

00:26:01.147 --> 00:26:04.821
I did, I did not go to sleep till 11 30.

00:26:04.821 --> 00:26:06.769
I finished the whole thing it what is it?

00:26:06.829 --> 00:26:08.375
a self-help, or is it like a?

00:26:08.496 --> 00:26:14.432
no, it's like a freaking like murder book and it I was like into it so I couldn't go to sleep.

00:26:14.432 --> 00:26:20.571
She writes like the housemate is watching yeah, they're so good.

00:26:20.571 --> 00:26:27.732
So like I read that book in four hours, oh okay, and I don't like I think it's just because everything we're so busy right now.

00:26:27.732 --> 00:26:33.284
I'm kind of like you, like I need to do something to not think about all the things.

00:26:33.284 --> 00:26:37.767
So, I've been yeah, I've read like two books this week, cause I just need a minute to.

00:26:39.028 --> 00:26:40.608
I think it's important to come off of it.

00:26:40.608 --> 00:26:50.576
I'm telling you, I watched three people in yoga, by the way, check their Apple watch back to come off of it, and I was like this is what I'm talking about.

00:26:50.576 --> 00:26:51.958
It's too much.

00:26:51.958 --> 00:27:04.227
It's too much, and December is the part where it really creeps in there and it feels like you have to answer every single demand immediately and I'm like no hold up.

00:27:04.227 --> 00:27:05.750
This is taxing.

00:27:06.011 --> 00:27:15.989
It goes back to our episode with Jennifer, though, about having those boundaries, and it's not even so much like it's outside of family, it's just everywhere, like I just need a minute, yeah.

00:27:16.560 --> 00:27:17.486
No, I think it's really good.

00:27:17.486 --> 00:27:21.405
I was going to say a really good resolution or intention.

00:27:21.405 --> 00:27:23.429
If you're not already doing.

00:27:23.429 --> 00:27:29.227
It is like you don't have to be on call and we become very much on.

00:27:29.227 --> 00:27:35.932
My caffeine intake goes up in December and my reaction time has to like speed up and you feel like you're on call.

00:27:35.932 --> 00:27:43.851
But we are not ambulance drivers, we are not oncology doctors, we are not paramedics or firemen.

00:27:43.851 --> 00:27:46.667
Hold up, Hold up.

00:27:46.667 --> 00:27:52.553
And you, when you're a mom, you have to have at least a little bit of a cup full if you're going to fill everyone else's.

00:27:54.780 --> 00:27:56.585
But we're selfish if we do that sometimes.

00:27:58.067 --> 00:27:58.890
That's what people think.

00:27:58.890 --> 00:28:03.006
No, I know, I know my favorite is like oh, you're letting.

00:28:03.307 --> 00:28:03.968
So where's Clark?

00:28:03.968 --> 00:28:04.670
Like, where is she?

00:28:04.670 --> 00:28:05.952
Nate's watching her.

00:28:05.952 --> 00:28:07.365
Oh, so he's like babysitting.

00:28:07.365 --> 00:28:09.647
No, that's his kid.

00:28:10.820 --> 00:28:12.528
It's like this women in male fields thing.

00:28:12.528 --> 00:28:14.247
I'm like I love it, yeah.

00:28:14.247 --> 00:28:18.892
Like how are you going to have a career with a wife and a baby at home?

00:28:18.892 --> 00:28:21.159
Like get real people Right.

00:28:21.159 --> 00:28:24.381
I will say that's the yin or the yang People.

00:28:24.381 --> 00:28:28.211
If you were only staying at home, then they would judge you for that.

00:28:28.211 --> 00:28:32.285
If you do both judge, for that, I'm like I just don't even care anymore.

00:28:32.285 --> 00:28:36.811
I have started doing some of the saying some of the craziest things because I just don't care.

00:28:37.992 --> 00:28:45.483
I mean listen, everybody's entitled to their own opinion.

00:28:45.483 --> 00:28:46.227
I just feel like it's it's, it's.

00:28:46.227 --> 00:28:47.010
It's a constant battle and like.

00:28:47.030 --> 00:28:47.554
I just am done fighting it.

00:28:47.554 --> 00:28:48.960
Do you think everyone's entitled to their own opinion?

00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:50.082
I'm going to disagree.

00:28:50.082 --> 00:28:59.431
I do because there's a part where it just doesn't need an opinion and maybe it's because of like partially, probably even like my first marriage.

00:28:59.431 --> 00:29:04.652
But this idea that everyone has to form an opinion on everything, I think is nonsense.

00:29:05.019 --> 00:29:08.840
Oh, I think it's okay if you form it, you don't got to say it no.

00:29:09.301 --> 00:29:10.445
I even think forming it.

00:29:10.445 --> 00:29:13.047
This is what I'm going to say the unconventional thought process.

00:29:13.047 --> 00:29:21.045
It is a waste of time to spend time thinking about how you would do someone else's life differently.

00:29:21.045 --> 00:29:25.172
Like you could use that so much more for yourself or your family.

00:29:25.172 --> 00:29:35.048
But this idea where, like people are constantly like going through life thinking about other people in a judgmental way, I'm like what an absolute waste.

00:29:35.189 --> 00:29:37.044
I know, I mean I feel sorry for them.

00:29:37.044 --> 00:29:39.270
No, exactly that's what I mean.

00:29:39.270 --> 00:29:41.500
I agree wholeheartedly, I think.

00:29:41.500 --> 00:29:44.230
I know you'll do it, but it's just like that must be a shit.

00:29:45.461 --> 00:29:54.327
What if we started talking more about like just not having one Like I really like I live and it's lovely one Like I really like, no, I talk about this too.

00:29:54.347 --> 00:29:55.150
She'd be like you, do you?

00:29:55.150 --> 00:29:58.983
And she like really doesn't care.

00:29:58.983 --> 00:30:02.592
Like, no, like I actually did care deeply about something.

00:30:02.592 --> 00:30:13.346
Like if you told her I don't know whatever it was like, let's say, cause gut health is one of her things right now, she might have you said you were going to go on some sort of like medication to resolve that.

00:30:13.346 --> 00:30:14.990
She might be like, hey, I have this great supplement.

00:30:14.990 --> 00:30:16.928
I really wish you would try it first.

00:30:16.928 --> 00:30:25.510
But like, outside of that, like, and that's just her looking out for your wellness and caring about people because of her own experiences.

00:30:25.510 --> 00:30:27.788
But like she really has a lot of you, do you?

00:30:27.788 --> 00:30:37.363
She just does not waste time thinking about how other people I mean, it's around it Like if you're parenting her kids might not sleep over.

00:30:37.363 --> 00:30:37.943
I'm the same way.

00:30:37.943 --> 00:30:41.771
But like outside of that man, I just I this.

00:30:41.932 --> 00:30:58.204
I lived in a house where somebody had so many opinions about everything and I was like what a waste well, I mean, yeah, like, just I feel like people maybe I'm just feeling this way because of my interactions yesterday People are just kind of nasty.

00:30:58.204 --> 00:30:59.189
I'm going to be honest with you.

00:30:59.189 --> 00:31:03.290
I don't know if it's the time of year or what, but it's just uncalled for.

00:31:03.290 --> 00:31:12.989
It's just really uncalled for and I try not to like let myself get like raged about it, but I'm like I feel sorry for these people.

00:31:12.989 --> 00:31:15.279
I had to run in yesterday.

00:31:15.279 --> 00:31:23.871
I went to belt to get me some foot pedals because I gotta wear high heels tonight, not happy about it you know, I didn't even know what that was when you posted on instagram.

00:31:23.891 --> 00:31:29.138
I've never worn a foot pedal in my life they are life-changing okay, cool, we're gonna.

00:31:29.159 --> 00:31:34.988
We're gonna wear them all through italy, like my feet, did not Brand new shoes, they are life-changing.

00:31:34.988 --> 00:31:36.730
Okay, a little arch support.

00:31:36.730 --> 00:31:37.471
I got to wear heels.

00:31:37.471 --> 00:31:39.034
Tonight it's Nate's Christmas party, whatever.

00:31:39.394 --> 00:31:39.775
I love it.

00:31:39.835 --> 00:31:40.476
Okay, yeah.

00:31:40.476 --> 00:31:42.286
So I went to Belk.

00:31:42.286 --> 00:31:45.028
This lady was trying to return something.

00:31:45.028 --> 00:31:46.365
It was past the 30 days.

00:31:46.365 --> 00:31:51.491
You should have heard the way she was speaking to the lady at Belk.

00:31:55.960 --> 00:31:57.624
I mean no, you know, I did my days as retail.

00:31:57.644 --> 00:32:01.791
I have literally so I mean, and Clark was with me, so it was good life lesson to be like.

00:32:01.791 --> 00:32:05.526
This is why you do not speak to people this way, like and.

00:32:05.526 --> 00:32:07.469
So when we got to the lady, she was upset.

00:32:11.340 --> 00:32:16.622
And I'm just like and then we expect people because we pay them $16 an hour just to have no feelings.

00:32:16.622 --> 00:32:22.505
I'm like you cannot just walk around out in the world being harmful and then annoyed that somebody.

00:32:22.505 --> 00:32:24.790
That is the most narcissistic behavior.

00:32:24.790 --> 00:32:28.932
I cannot stand this level of narcissism.

00:32:28.932 --> 00:32:34.627
You cannot walk around in the world and be destructive and then be annoyed that somebody has a reaction to it.

00:32:35.150 --> 00:32:35.872
That is it.

00:32:35.872 --> 00:32:37.968
It ate on my nerves.

00:32:37.968 --> 00:32:44.930
And then I went to Target and Target is a flipping madhouse right now.

00:32:45.421 --> 00:32:48.410
I haven't been to Target since, like we last talked about it in October.

00:32:48.410 --> 00:32:51.266
Oh my God, one time during holidays I literally go every week.

00:32:52.008 --> 00:32:53.612
I know you do, I go every week.

00:32:53.612 --> 00:33:00.928
But I'm back to the drive up because I feel like I save money if I do it this way, because I'm a lot more intentional with what I'm buying.

00:33:00.928 --> 00:33:07.583
So they have like 20 spots because it's Christmas, right, and it is busy, they are awful.

00:33:07.583 --> 00:33:13.128
When I get there yesterday, well, I see one of the cars with nobody in it.

00:33:13.128 --> 00:33:14.134
Ooh, you just parked there, yeah.

00:33:14.153 --> 00:33:27.574
Well, I see one of the cars with nobody in it Ooh he's parked there Some family, or it was a woman and her daughter, who was a teenager, not like she was young or a baby or whatever parked in that spot and took the spot just a part closer to go into Target.

00:33:27.574 --> 00:33:28.516
Oh, my.

00:33:28.516 --> 00:33:31.248
God, I almost got out of my car and said something.

00:33:31.248 --> 00:33:33.902
I'm telling you, I was this close, I was this close.

00:33:33.902 --> 00:33:34.500
So I witnessed somebody get out of my car and said something.

00:33:34.500 --> 00:33:34.826
I'm telling you, I was this close, I was this close.

00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:37.548
So I witnessed somebody get out of their car yesterday.

00:33:37.548 --> 00:33:59.066
I was at the corner like of 17, when you're at the light, where you're going to go to Costco, and I was in the two turning lanes left turning and then there was the other three lanes or whatever, and there was a guy in a big work truck and there's a little sedan, big work truck and there's a some a little sedan and the light turned green forever and our light was so red.

00:33:59.066 --> 00:34:11.188
So he got out and he no, he, like they were stuck, I, we, I actually was ready to call 911 because I thought, and he knocked on the door, gently, knocked on the window, knocked on the window again.

00:34:11.188 --> 00:34:13.422
I was like, oh my god, what if this person's like having like a medical?

00:34:13.422 --> 00:34:26.728
Oh my gosh, the person rolled their window down and started to scream at him and then when he he started laughing and walked back to his truck and then the person was like driving around trying to be close to him and I was like what the fuck?

00:34:26.728 --> 00:34:35.429
Everyone else here thought you were like having a heart attack at the light, whatever you were doing, like it was green on 17,.

00:34:35.509 --> 00:34:43.398
Like the man to get out and knock three times, three separate times before the person then got startled and mad.

00:34:43.398 --> 00:34:49.652
I'm like you gotta be joking, go to McDonald's and pull in and do your little texting.

00:34:49.652 --> 00:34:50.552
Is that what it was?

00:34:50.552 --> 00:34:51.018
They were texting?

00:34:51.018 --> 00:35:03.945
No, I was like just one more spot further back but I could see the person like with their hands, and then they were like literally trying to be next to him in traffic and he was just like people crazy.

00:35:03.945 --> 00:35:05.690
I'm like what are you going to do?

00:35:05.690 --> 00:35:08.625
So do you want to hear about my game now?

00:35:09.025 --> 00:35:09.909
Oh yeah, yeah, Sorry sorry.

00:35:11.820 --> 00:35:17.311
So I want to play a game that if Santa had social media.

00:35:18.032 --> 00:35:18.920
Yes, Do you know?

00:35:18.920 --> 00:35:19.704
I posted last year.

00:35:19.704 --> 00:35:21.427
It's like God, I really wish Santa had us.

00:35:21.427 --> 00:35:23.262
I thought about doing a fun one you did do that.

00:35:23.342 --> 00:35:36.282
So I want to talk about what Santa's brand would be, what his pillars would be and what his social would be, ooh Like what would his logo like?

00:35:36.302 --> 00:35:36.824
what's his picture?

00:35:36.824 --> 00:35:38.846
Well, we have a few options here, I know.

00:35:38.846 --> 00:35:41.688
So do you go like antique Santa?

00:35:41.688 --> 00:35:44.391
Do you go cartoon Santa?

00:35:44.391 --> 00:35:48.536
Do you give him like a little bit of sex appeal, because it's like 2024?

00:35:48.536 --> 00:35:54.007
Nothing too crazy, just like a little bit handsome, like a like a six-pack instead of the belly?

00:35:54.007 --> 00:35:55.472
No, not even a six-pack.

00:35:55.552 --> 00:35:56.762
I just think I don't love it.

00:35:56.762 --> 00:35:57.706
How about a big quad?

00:35:57.706 --> 00:35:58.228
How about that?

00:35:58.228 --> 00:35:58.528
Would that?

00:35:58.528 --> 00:35:59.291
Would that make you?

00:36:00.061 --> 00:36:00.704
in the states.

00:36:00.704 --> 00:36:04.561
You just give him like a little bit of the george clooney eyes, like something.

00:36:04.561 --> 00:36:07.146
A little bit like that appeals to the moms and the kids.

00:36:07.869 --> 00:36:11.764
Yeah, I feel like he needs like some modern, but I almost feel Do we modernize him?

00:36:11.920 --> 00:36:13.266
Or is this modern Santa?

00:36:13.266 --> 00:36:14.403
Do we take him out of?

00:36:15.086 --> 00:36:19.967
I don't know, or should we just go straight like beard and hat, like no face?

00:36:19.967 --> 00:36:20.547
I don't really.

00:36:20.547 --> 00:36:23.813
Oh, like just A little bit elusive, yeah, yeah.

00:36:24.094 --> 00:36:31.003
I mean we could, we could, you could do like the north pole star.

00:36:31.003 --> 00:36:32.309
I definitely think you find the perfect red, I'm sure.

00:36:32.309 --> 00:36:35.860
Oh yeah, canton chart, we could probably find the perfect red, I think, the perfect red for sure.

00:36:35.860 --> 00:36:40.547
I think the magic is in the red, oh for sure.

00:36:40.547 --> 00:36:45.094
It's like, yeah, but then it's like, do you rebrand him?

00:36:45.094 --> 00:36:53.731
Do you rebrand him so that he appeals to the moms and the kids, and then you make it like he's a little bit of I don't know something everywhere, or do you just make it?

00:36:54.172 --> 00:36:54.393
I know.

00:36:54.393 --> 00:36:55.362
But what kind of like?

00:36:55.362 --> 00:37:09.355
What do you feel when you think santa, because I think like cozy, jolly, grandpa, like I don't know if I picture like target santa, because I mean he is, I just love that they did it, I there's a remake.

00:37:09.375 --> 00:37:10.077
Ain't that something?

00:37:10.077 --> 00:37:13.485
You see, that, ain't that something?

00:37:14.469 --> 00:37:31.686
um, there's something about it, though I like that the brands are having fun with it, yeah well, that's what I'm saying, so that's like, because that's my version of santa, like the cozy, that's what I think in my head, but then I love that they're, you know, rebranding him and some of these different things.

00:37:32.286 --> 00:37:34.320
I know, I do think it's like I'm like proud of it.

00:37:34.320 --> 00:37:40.523
I think there's something fun about like him not just being the creep that watches you, especially in this like.

00:37:41.204 --> 00:37:42.148
Is that your vibe?

00:37:42.148 --> 00:37:43.411
Is that what you think when you think Santa?

00:37:44.001 --> 00:37:44.862
I mean, I love Santa.

00:37:44.862 --> 00:37:50.833
I just am saying like if you were to take the other side of the brand, if you were pros cons, there's something about it.

00:37:50.833 --> 00:37:59.369
You know, like they have all these like little ornaments that look like cameras and parents tell kids that like we're leaning far, way too far into this.

00:37:59.369 --> 00:38:01.784
Watching you think we don't actually lean into that?

00:38:01.784 --> 00:38:06.202
Here I'm like I don't, that's why we have our elf exchange student.

00:38:06.202 --> 00:38:07.664
I we that's why we have our Elf Exchange student.

00:38:07.664 --> 00:38:08.945
We don't talk about him watching their behavior.

00:38:09.106 --> 00:38:09.487
Elfie, elfie.

00:38:09.487 --> 00:38:14.833
Yeah, nate will throw it out occasionally, but I mean it's a little creepy.

00:38:14.833 --> 00:38:16.335
To me that part is creepy.

00:38:19.340 --> 00:38:24.873
So I think that's the two sides of branding right, because I think that was more like some of the original makeup of him was like oh, he's this.

00:38:24.873 --> 00:38:30.612
I mean I think in some of the old world countries like wasn't he like mean?

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:33.065
Oh my God, have you not seen Krampus?

00:38:33.065 --> 00:38:33.889
We talked about this.

00:38:34.179 --> 00:38:38.541
No, I think he like didn't he like beat the kid with sticks or something I don't know?

00:38:38.702 --> 00:38:39.969
I definitely think there's some.

00:38:39.969 --> 00:38:41.820
There is a dark, there could be a dark side.

00:38:42.501 --> 00:38:44.864
So I do, truly, I'll put some research into this.

00:38:44.864 --> 00:38:48.387
I do think there is some old world Santas with like a little bit of the dark side.

00:38:48.387 --> 00:38:59.829
Okay, so I think we got some options here we can decide, but I do think it would be so fun to like make a Santa social media and like it would be so fun.

00:39:00.311 --> 00:39:06.083
And I mean I would follow it and he could do like all right, let's talk about what platforms he would be on.

00:39:06.684 --> 00:39:09.666
Okay, so we've I'm writing down the perfect red.

00:39:10.106 --> 00:39:12.208
The perfect red.

00:39:12.327 --> 00:39:19.452
I think it's going to have to have some blues in it, but not be anything too close to like raspberry colors.

00:39:19.452 --> 00:39:21.634
Yep, like, not an orange red.

00:39:21.634 --> 00:39:24.695
I'm thinking it's definitely going to pull from the blue family a little bit.

00:39:24.695 --> 00:39:25.496
I don't know.

00:39:25.936 --> 00:39:57.063
Okay, I'm still thinking the picture should just be beard hat, maybe a star yeah, because I feel like it leaves it open for interpretation, like it can appeal, because it's so vague that it's kind of like what I know is I definitely want it to be something that when people are scrolling through social, they start to to recognize it immediately, whether it's actually just the north pole, and so it's like a north pole social and it's like the figurehead or like obviously one of the key pillars.

00:39:57.063 --> 00:40:04.612
Um, you know, like if you had like a construction brand and then you had the owner as the president, like do you think about the north pole itself?

00:40:05.835 --> 00:40:08.525
um, the elves could like do some of the social too.

00:40:08.525 --> 00:40:10.664
That's what I mean, because do you use cloths.

00:40:11.219 --> 00:40:16.768
Remember I sent you the thing about the ducks, how the guy had snow and only the three ducks and there was like 5,000.

00:40:16.768 --> 00:40:21.766
Like it was like well, it's like that could totally happen with your elves.

00:40:21.766 --> 00:40:33.670
Like, if you like, think about like so for me it's all about like the creativity with something like this, because it's not a monetized social, totally so and people will become so much more invested in it faster.

00:40:33.670 --> 00:40:45.726
But like it's like the little elf prints everywhere you know, like that little funny stuff is like and like toy making and oh, tiny little lunches.

00:40:46.086 --> 00:40:48.447
Oh my gosh, you could have so much fun with elf stuff.

00:40:49.179 --> 00:40:51.789
I know and like, but his life is big compared to theirs.

00:40:51.789 --> 00:40:57.626
So then it's also this major juxtaposition of like miniature versus like average size.

00:40:59.150 --> 00:41:00.152
I love that word, by the way.

00:41:00.152 --> 00:41:03.461
Juxtaposition, it's just such a fun word.

00:41:03.802 --> 00:41:05.126
Like do elves work out?

00:41:05.126 --> 00:41:06.909
Do they like swimming?

00:41:06.909 --> 00:41:09.152
Like do you have like miniature pools?

00:41:09.152 --> 00:41:09.914
Do you do like some?

00:41:10.019 --> 00:41:16.840
reindeer content yes, and like Mrs Claus, like, can I get some recipes Like what is she cooking up?

00:41:16.860 --> 00:41:17.221
there.

00:41:17.221 --> 00:41:19.427
Is she cooking or is she just running this whole show?

00:41:19.427 --> 00:41:21.152
I'm in my, you know she is.

00:41:21.152 --> 00:41:28.748
It's very possible that Mrs Claus is actually the voice of the social and she's also the voice of the entire thing.

00:41:28.748 --> 00:41:32.753
Yes, so we see her planner.

00:41:34.155 --> 00:41:42.172
Oh, mrs Claus planner, I love that, but surely she's cooking.

00:41:42.172 --> 00:41:48.320
I'm sure she's cooking, but I hope that she has a kitchen full of elves and like really good girlfriends that like amuse her Like.

00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:51.867
This is why I think she should be modern, like I think she should have a book club.

00:41:51.867 --> 00:41:54.514
I feel like she should like get out.

00:41:54.514 --> 00:41:56.242
I want to see her go to yoga.

00:41:56.242 --> 00:42:00.172
I want mrs, I want mrs claus to be wearing the lulu.

00:42:00.172 --> 00:42:07.268
I want her to be like rose island, like betty white, like oh no, I want her to be snatched like.

00:42:07.268 --> 00:42:10.132
I want her to be snatched Like.

00:42:10.152 --> 00:42:16.041
I want her to be like so you're going younger, so you're picturing like target Santa Um.

00:42:16.141 --> 00:42:21.532
I don't know Cause, I just like I like the idea of her being like a boss lady.

00:42:22.239 --> 00:42:22.561
Okay.

00:42:23.722 --> 00:42:25.085
Would he there's?

00:42:25.085 --> 00:42:26.407
No, he's not a handful.

00:42:26.949 --> 00:42:29.934
Would he do like collabs, like would he push product?

00:42:29.934 --> 00:42:32.744
Would he like he would push product?

00:42:32.744 --> 00:42:41.027
I don't know, that's what I'm we're, we're, we're branding santa here um, that's tricky.

00:42:41.146 --> 00:42:42.208
I think that's a tricky thing.

00:42:42.208 --> 00:42:42.650
I could.

00:42:42.650 --> 00:42:46.661
I do think I think he could probably do product reviews.

00:42:46.661 --> 00:42:51.952
Oh yeah, um, I think a good product review might be fun.

00:42:51.952 --> 00:42:58.693
I love knowing what the new toys are, what's going on, but I think he should Like a hot cocoa brand.

00:42:58.693 --> 00:43:00.764
Yeah, sure.

00:43:00.925 --> 00:43:01.086
Yeah.

00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:02.565
Like a hot cocoa bomb.

00:43:02.565 --> 00:43:05.382
Yeah, I do think he.

00:43:05.382 --> 00:43:08.244
I think so.

00:43:08.244 --> 00:43:18.454
For me, one of the things that drives me crazy about Christmas and I don't know if we're going to share this, so I'm just going to throw it out there is like I do try to think about that.

00:43:18.454 --> 00:43:27.052
Everyone has different Christmases, so I really don't do the most expensive thing from the man himself.

00:43:27.052 --> 00:43:38.510
Okay, Because I just feel like A I work really hard and I'm not trying to be rude here, but like let's not get carried away.

00:43:38.510 --> 00:44:04.351
I would like some credit and we live in a bubble, but I also know that like there's a million kids out there who are going to have very different Christmases and I do like to think about, like, how that would feel, and so I try to keep it I don't know fair, whatever that means, you know, in quotations like something really appropriate, like as a Santa gift, I don't know.

00:44:04.351 --> 00:44:07.646
Yeah, Like that weighs on me a little bit.

00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:17.840
Do you know what I mean?

00:44:17.840 --> 00:44:18.001
Yeah, no.

00:44:18.021 --> 00:44:19.344
I do, I do, yeah, like that weighs on me a little bit, do you mean?

00:44:19.344 --> 00:44:19.746
Yeah, no, I do, I do.

00:44:19.746 --> 00:44:22.072
I used to post pictures and I do still post pictures, but then I I tell you the pictures.

00:44:22.072 --> 00:44:28.686
It's more just like the um, just that like school comparison stuff, where I'm like yeah, I don't love that in any regard.

00:44:29.108 --> 00:44:29.588
No, I know.

00:44:30.190 --> 00:44:44.190
Yeah, and I want them to know that, like their parents work hard and then this is like it's fun to celebrate this holiday and like these things, like there's a certain level that Santa can participate at and there's a certain level that your parents can participate at and they might be different.

00:44:44.190 --> 00:44:47.568
Yeah, he's got a lot of kids he's got to take care of.

00:44:47.608 --> 00:44:48.791
I know I say that all the time.

00:44:48.811 --> 00:44:49.894
Yeah, he's got a lot of kids he's got to take care of.

00:44:49.894 --> 00:44:51.018
I know I say that all the time.

00:44:51.018 --> 00:44:52.202
Participate in that, by the way.

00:44:52.202 --> 00:44:54.329
Side note, I have an amazing app.

00:44:56.101 --> 00:44:57.427
Like appetizer or.

00:44:58.402 --> 00:44:59.235
No, an app.

00:44:59.235 --> 00:45:03.070
Oh, take a picture of your setup.

00:45:03.070 --> 00:45:05.507
I used to do the Santa thing.

00:45:05.507 --> 00:45:07.545
Yes, we will post it.

00:45:07.545 --> 00:45:10.005
Unfortunately, you're going to have to pay for it.

00:45:10.005 --> 00:45:12.490
I'm telling you right now, though.

00:45:12.490 --> 00:45:13.413
Kids love it.

00:45:13.413 --> 00:45:15.465
It's so beautiful.

00:45:15.545 --> 00:45:16.829
They do such a good job.

00:45:16.829 --> 00:45:19.849
All the different poses, left, right, bent down.

00:45:19.849 --> 00:45:20.510
It's so good.

00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:25.086
It's so good, we will share a few, but I really live for it.

00:45:25.086 --> 00:45:29.634
So heads up, and I appreciate the people that come up with these things.

00:45:29.634 --> 00:45:31.182
But I don't know.

00:45:31.182 --> 00:45:33.829
I mean I wonder if, like, she isn't his marketing girl.

00:45:33.829 --> 00:45:41.753
Like I feel like Santa's wife, mrs Claus, is really like his marketing team.

00:45:43.420 --> 00:45:45.081
I mean, I'm sure, I'm sure she would be.

00:45:45.081 --> 00:45:48.264
She wears many hats, as most of us do.

00:45:49.505 --> 00:45:50.726
But can you imagine, like what is it?

00:45:50.726 --> 00:45:51.927
Does she always wear like red?

00:45:51.927 --> 00:45:53.789
Is she in yoga and like I'm sure she would be?

00:45:53.789 --> 00:45:54.869
She wears many hats, as most of us do.

00:45:54.869 --> 00:45:56.251
But can you imagine, like what is it Does she always wear like red?

00:45:56.251 --> 00:45:57.612
Is she in yoga in like full red or like beautiful coat?

00:45:58.172 --> 00:46:04.297
out front Like a beautiful coat out front, oh for sure, but I feel like she always has like killer boots on, like killer, like fuzzy boots.

00:46:04.860 --> 00:46:05.420
No, that's the thing I'm like.

00:46:05.420 --> 00:46:15.530
Everything Like you could literally have like the full yoga set up where, like I don't know why I'm using yoga, but everyone's shoes lay everywhere, and then there's like a beautiful jacket and beautiful boots.

00:46:16.431 --> 00:46:20.503
Have you seen the Christmas Chronicles on Netflix with Goldie Hawn?

00:46:20.503 --> 00:46:22.646
I don't know.

00:46:22.646 --> 00:46:25.052
And what's her husband's name?

00:46:25.052 --> 00:46:26.034
Kurt, something.

00:46:26.400 --> 00:46:27.322
Ooh, I love those too.

00:46:28.905 --> 00:46:30.568
She is a great Mrs Claus.

00:46:31.431 --> 00:46:34.864
Yes, so that I do, I could give you that like with a little funny laugh.

00:46:35.166 --> 00:46:38.784
Yes, Like yes, okay, so we need Santa Social.

00:46:40.409 --> 00:46:44.829
Yeah, I mean, I feel like we should really like mess around with it for fun, like next year.

00:46:44.829 --> 00:46:45.431
Isn't it fun?

00:46:45.431 --> 00:46:47.463
Yeah, no, we should like.

00:46:47.463 --> 00:46:48.487
It'd be funny.

00:46:48.487 --> 00:46:52.407
My brain was I love Santa social.

00:46:52.407 --> 00:46:53.621
What do you think the pillars would be?

00:46:59.130 --> 00:47:01.876
Ooh, Santa's pillars.

00:47:01.956 --> 00:47:07.762
It's tricky Like I don't know that it could be like religious, but then I think it has to be something about faith, but it can't.

00:47:07.762 --> 00:47:19.423
I feel like it's like believe, just believe, become the person, and then you apply that Authenticity like just kind of behind the scenes, more of Like being yourself.

00:47:19.423 --> 00:47:24.909
Yeah, being yourself, I think, believe, is definitely a pillar, and then you can apply that different ways.

00:47:24.909 --> 00:47:28.929
Yeah, I think there's gotta be something about like teamwork.

00:47:28.929 --> 00:47:31.144
There's no way that place runs without like.

00:47:31.585 --> 00:47:34.512
Yeah, definitely, what else what?

00:47:34.532 --> 00:47:36.126
else Do you think elves clog the toilet?

00:47:36.891 --> 00:47:37.514
Oh, for sure.

00:47:37.514 --> 00:47:40.545
Well, I mean, are they using full size toilets or like?

00:47:41.469 --> 00:47:41.789
I don't know.

00:47:41.789 --> 00:47:47.465
I just have one of my small people as like a toilet plogger lately and it's not like something I think about.

00:47:47.465 --> 00:47:49.929
It would be funny if they clogged it.

00:47:50.128 --> 00:47:58.760
I don't, this is just a funny bathroom anecdote from today, because I was in the bathroom when this happened, like not on the toilet, but so I was brushing.

00:47:58.860 --> 00:47:59.885
I live in my bathroom.

00:47:59.885 --> 00:48:10.193
So if people are going to think that when we say I was amazing bathroom but that's why I'm like, if you are going to be like oh, I was in the bathroom, and they think automatically they go to like I shit my pants First of all, chill.

00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:25.085
I mean they're all the time I'm on FaceTime and they're all the time there's so many sinks and like, yeah, you have a great bathroom, but I was like gargling with like my mouthwash this morning and I like gargled a little too like I don't know what happened.

00:48:30.300 --> 00:48:31.148
And I ended up swallowing it, oh no.

00:48:31.148 --> 00:48:34.367
And I was like, can I tell you something about gut health?

00:48:34.367 --> 00:48:42.092
And this might not be true, but I heard this I'm going to say on the Joe Rogan podcast and I'm not proud of that, not good for you.

00:48:42.092 --> 00:48:44.164
It's not.

00:48:45.202 --> 00:48:50.929
It kills bacteria in your mouth, that it needs to be there, and I do it maybe once every two to three weeks.

00:48:50.929 --> 00:48:51.842
So that's what.

00:48:51.902 --> 00:48:57.286
I learned is that, like you, it's like the, it's actually the first part of your gut.

00:48:57.326 --> 00:49:01.007
Health is inside your mouth and I only do it with my mouth.

00:49:01.139 --> 00:49:04.264
I don't know if you ever have these days where it's just like I know we can have this conversation.

00:49:04.264 --> 00:49:06.121
That's why I was like, oh my gosh, we should talk about this.

00:49:06.302 --> 00:49:11.193
Like I can't get my mouth clean enough, like I don't know if you ever have these days Water pick no.

00:49:12.119 --> 00:49:17.112
I just got one two months ago Wait, hold on, we got to go back, we got to go back to the water pick.

00:49:17.112 --> 00:49:43.204
So the person was a pro an athletic trainer for pro athletes and he said the very first thing he does when he gets a new client is he walks into their house, he walks into their bathroom and he's like we're done with this and it's the very first thing he takes away, because there is a major connection to your gut health and mouthwash why do you think I freaked the f out when I swallowed it today?

00:49:43.284 --> 00:49:48.005
I was like, oh my god, it's not even supposed to be in my mouth and I freaking swore shitting your pants.

00:49:48.025 --> 00:49:48.264
I your pants.

00:49:48.284 --> 00:49:50.789
I was in there like dry heaving, like trying to get it out.

00:49:50.789 --> 00:49:55.389
Oh God, never done that, never Okay.

00:49:55.539 --> 00:50:01.159
So I recently bought a water pick which is for, like, old people.

00:50:01.159 --> 00:50:14.347
I think I don't even know, and I'm going to tell you this no less than 12 times, because my hand always hits the power button instead of the um, like, speed button.

00:50:14.347 --> 00:50:17.655
Have I shot myself in the face or my ceiling?

00:50:17.655 --> 00:50:19.340
I have no control.

00:50:19.340 --> 00:50:23.588
I know right, I have I fucked up my mascara one day.

00:50:23.588 --> 00:50:28.067
I like literally got myself, so I was like I fucking cannot is it like a pressure washer?

00:50:28.106 --> 00:50:28.789
for your teeth.

00:50:28.789 --> 00:50:34.961
Yes, but it takes off.

00:50:34.961 --> 00:50:38.454
I saw this thing on freaking Instagram and I went to Amazon and just bought the Amazon choice one version for like $29.

00:50:38.454 --> 00:50:50.949
Okay, it's like USB charge, you have like five settings, but the person kept like doing it and then spitting out so much more junk after they brushed their teeth and I was like, oh, I can't be walking around like this.

00:50:51.250 --> 00:50:56.800
I'm telling you, I get moments where I'm like I'll be riding in the car and I'm like I have got to brush my teeth like immediately.

00:50:58.021 --> 00:51:02.451
I will tell you this I am an obsessive tooth brushing.

00:51:02.451 --> 00:51:07.771
I don't know if I'm winning over the mouthwash thing because I have a set of toothbrush and toothpaste in my shower.

00:51:07.771 --> 00:51:11.563
Wash thing, because I have a set of toothbrush and toothpaste in my shower.

00:51:11.563 --> 00:51:12.264
I have one on my sink out here.

00:51:12.264 --> 00:51:13.487
I like love a good toothbrush, you know.

00:51:13.527 --> 00:51:14.329
I got a mouth problem.

00:51:14.329 --> 00:51:17.362
I have 587,000 flossers in my car.

00:51:17.362 --> 00:51:18.905
I'm like this is a thing.

00:51:19.025 --> 00:51:26.708
I know I have like an oral issue anyways, but like I am a toothbrusher hardcore, the minute I walk in from being outside I wash my hands and brush my teeth.

00:51:26.708 --> 00:51:30.635
Fun fact, I got a problem, I think.

00:51:31.601 --> 00:51:35.751
No, I'm glad that I'm not, cause I'm telling you it freaks me out Like I'll be riding the car.

00:51:35.751 --> 00:51:36.983
I'm like I need to stop it.

00:51:37.003 --> 00:51:38.507
The car really pushes me over the edge.

00:51:38.507 --> 00:51:39.130
I'm like we've got.

00:51:39.130 --> 00:51:40.581
I've got to brush my teeth.

00:51:40.581 --> 00:51:45.889
Right now I'm seeking out yes, yes, Yep, so you might enjoy a water pick.

00:51:45.889 --> 00:51:49.875
You might put two under the tree, one for you, one for me.

00:51:49.875 --> 00:51:52.891
But I have literally wrote it down Will you send me the one you got.

00:51:53.233 --> 00:51:58.007
Yes, I have shot my ceiling and my face on so many occasions.

00:51:58.007 --> 00:52:01.061
Now I don't put makeup on until I've done it, cause I just I'm so excited.

00:52:01.061 --> 00:52:03.244
I'm not under control with this thing.

00:52:03.244 --> 00:52:05.148
I make my gums bleed.

00:52:05.148 --> 00:52:06.530
I'm a real idiot with this thing.

00:52:06.550 --> 00:52:09.295
oh, I'm excited all right back to santa.

00:52:09.295 --> 00:52:24.291
Um, yes, pillars, I feel like santa would like innovation, like getting like new as things progress, and technology, because, like the world keeps changing, like?

00:52:24.331 --> 00:52:28.688
how do we talk about the fact that he is up against the fact that the world keeps changing?

00:52:28.909 --> 00:52:34.972
I know, I know that's what, because I feel like we're now in an era of more, you know, sustainability.

00:52:35.920 --> 00:52:36.922
Is it like self growth?

00:52:36.922 --> 00:52:38.025
Is it evolution?

00:52:38.025 --> 00:52:38.826
Is it like?

00:52:38.826 --> 00:52:40.710
I don't know?

00:52:40.710 --> 00:52:44.005
It's just like does he not care about growing?

00:52:44.025 --> 00:52:45.007
Surely he does.

00:52:47.612 --> 00:52:53.179
But he I like to imagine that he is keeping us grounded in not getting out of control.

00:52:53.740 --> 00:52:55.005
I would think so, he's Santa.

00:52:56.990 --> 00:52:57.190
I know.

00:52:57.190 --> 00:53:04.385
That's why I'm like I don't know if it's about self-growth, when do you think he drives?

00:53:04.385 --> 00:53:05.724
What does Mrs Claus drive?

00:53:05.826 --> 00:53:09.159
I'm just curious she drives a Lexus SUV 100%.

00:53:09.402 --> 00:53:12.262
I thought it was was gonna be a white range rover yeah or that.

00:53:12.322 --> 00:53:18.333
Yeah, and I feel like he's like like an f-250, like diesel what if she?

00:53:18.860 --> 00:53:21.125
oh, you're making him sound hot.

00:53:21.125 --> 00:53:22.168
This is the problem.

00:53:22.168 --> 00:53:25.353
Oh, is that what it is it's hers white, his is red.

00:53:25.353 --> 00:53:27.367
Yes, his is like burgundy.

00:53:27.367 --> 00:53:29.574
Yeah, you do.

00:53:29.574 --> 00:53:31.079
You know, I don't love the color burgundy.

00:53:31.079 --> 00:53:31.641
I don't either.

00:53:31.661 --> 00:53:36.978
I hate it okay, good, I hate, absolutely hate it but I hate it?

00:53:37.318 --> 00:53:39.465
I don't know I can't wear it, even I like.

00:53:39.465 --> 00:53:39.786
I met that.

00:53:39.806 --> 00:53:41.971
I was like one of my colors that she recommended and I do.

00:53:41.971 --> 00:53:44.931
I actually look quite nice in burgundy but I can wear red.

00:53:44.972 --> 00:53:45.615
I love a red.

00:53:45.615 --> 00:53:46.599
But like, why does burgundy?

00:53:46.599 --> 00:53:47.702
Why is it so annoying?

00:53:47.702 --> 00:53:48.684
It's's just bad.

00:53:48.684 --> 00:53:51.331
It is bad, it is why.

00:53:51.331 --> 00:53:52.373
Yeah, I don't know.

00:53:52.373 --> 00:54:01.952
I'm trying to find this water pick and I'm let me tell you so I'm making Santa be hot without really meaning to I know.

00:54:02.099 --> 00:54:05.030
This is why I'm like wondering if he isn't just a little bit like.

00:54:05.030 --> 00:54:12.047
I just feel like he's like there's a whole songs about him mommy kissing, santa claus.

00:54:12.047 --> 00:54:13.594
I think it would be okay if he was like a little bit.

00:54:13.594 --> 00:54:18.547
I don't mean like over the top, I just mean like something for the moms who's like.

00:54:18.626 --> 00:54:20.952
All right, you know how george, do you are?

By the way, you're gonna love this thing.

00:54:24.367 --> 00:54:27.141

And yes, I'm obsessed.

00:54:32.726 --> 00:54:36.409
So I picture like that kind of face, but with some scruff.

00:54:36.409 --> 00:54:43.643
So he's like handsome, yeah, but like older George Strait, yes, I've always.

00:54:43.643 --> 00:54:47.106
I mean he is just what's the guy in Yellowstone?

00:54:47.628 --> 00:54:48.208
He's hot too.

00:54:50.380 --> 00:54:54.010
Oh yeah, I haven't watched Yellowstone, but I know because you see it all over social.

00:54:54.490 --> 00:54:56.163
Yes, why can't I think of his name?

00:54:56.163 --> 00:54:56.704
I don't know.

00:54:56.704 --> 00:54:58.771
He's pretty hot too.

00:54:58.771 --> 00:55:01.007
He was hot in Field of Dreams.

00:55:01.007 --> 00:55:04.525
He was hot in that man.

00:55:04.525 --> 00:55:08.409
Come on and bodyguard Kevin Costner.

00:55:08.409 --> 00:55:09.751
Yes, I was like.

00:55:09.751 --> 00:55:11.141
I know it's a Kevin, he's sexy.

00:55:11.141 --> 00:55:15.411
Kevin Costner, for me, is definitely like if that was Santa.

00:55:15.411 --> 00:55:18.224
Let's give Santa a giant ranch like that.

00:55:18.224 --> 00:55:22.780
No, I don't know what you were about to say let's give Santa a giant.

00:55:22.800 --> 00:55:23.601
I was like, uh-oh, ranch in the mountains.

00:55:23.601 --> 00:55:27.067
Oh, my God, let's give Santa a giant ranch in the mountains.

00:55:28.208 --> 00:55:40.496
Oh my God, let's give Santa a giant ranch in the mountains, a very outdoorsy vehicle, and the reindeer are just like wandering around.

00:55:40.496 --> 00:55:43.143
Oh my God, I also learned the most amazing thing.

00:55:43.143 --> 00:55:45.369
Did you know that the reindeer are girls?

00:55:45.369 --> 00:55:46.932
Yes, I did know that.

00:55:46.932 --> 00:55:54.030
Okay, so I had seen the meme, but I was like, well, maybe this is just one of those like I didn't.

00:55:54.030 --> 00:56:02.530
I was like, so summit came home and said the reindeer are girls and I was like, before we take this too far, let's fact check this right.

00:56:02.530 --> 00:56:04.501
Yep, let's fact check this.

00:56:04.501 --> 00:56:08.411
So we asked chad gpt because that's how I fact check.

00:56:08.411 --> 00:56:16.891
And this is what it said Reindeer are the only deer where the girls and the boys grow antlers.

00:56:16.891 --> 00:56:23.262
However, the boys grow bigger antlers but the girls keep theirs.

00:56:23.262 --> 00:56:28.349
The boys lose theirs in late fall or very early winter.

00:56:28.349 --> 00:56:34.434
So, in fact, the ones that are on the sleigh at the end of December are girls.

00:56:35.356 --> 00:56:35.876
Girl power.

00:56:36.702 --> 00:56:37.811
Isn't that so interesting?

00:56:37.952 --> 00:56:38.699
It is so interesting.

00:56:39.061 --> 00:56:41.505
There could be a pink also.

00:56:41.505 --> 00:56:44.913
That's a great color because I bet that barn.

00:56:44.913 --> 00:56:48.307
I'm sure there's some studs out there that don't get to pull the team.

00:56:48.307 --> 00:56:49.150
We need some boys.

00:56:49.150 --> 00:56:52.487
I love this, but like and what are their names?

00:56:52.487 --> 00:56:53.965
Like, what are the studs called?

00:56:53.965 --> 00:56:59.907
We know who the main reindeer are, but like we could take this really far.

00:56:59.907 --> 00:57:03.423
I know, but like, could the barn have like a little bit of a pink?

00:57:03.423 --> 00:57:05.250
Oh for sure.

00:57:06.721 --> 00:57:09.302
Could they put little bows on their antlers?

00:57:09.824 --> 00:57:14.213
I know, and I feel like this is just like an earring Some of Mrs Claus works.

00:57:14.213 --> 00:57:18.556
She's got like the big boots on and the cute little red leggings and she goes out to check on the girls.

00:57:18.556 --> 00:57:20.706
How are the girls today?

00:57:20.706 --> 00:57:25.360
There's like so much fun with it, like did you check on the girls?

00:57:25.360 --> 00:57:26.362
How are the girls today?

00:57:28.063 --> 00:57:38.789
I love that we have branded Santa and he's hot with a ranch and, yeah, you can be hot and old and, like you know, have a.

00:57:39.088 --> 00:57:41.331
You can have a servant's heart and be hot.

00:57:41.331 --> 00:57:45.413
Hello, I know this is what I'm saying.

00:57:45.413 --> 00:57:47.335
I needed to be Kevin Costner.

00:57:47.335 --> 00:57:50.916
I just wanted to sit out on the ranch in the chair and be like I like this idea.

00:57:51.036 --> 00:57:52.257
I picture him in Wranglers.

00:57:52.257 --> 00:57:56.588
Yeah, You're not making him less hot.

00:57:56.588 --> 00:57:57.170
I was sitting here.

00:57:57.170 --> 00:57:59.739
I was like we're lusting over Santa.

00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:04.128
I mean, I'm just saying like I think he's got a servant's heart, I that's.

00:58:04.128 --> 00:58:08.188
I'm sorry, but that might be part of my like.

00:58:08.188 --> 00:58:09.532
That's not the wrong.

00:58:09.532 --> 00:58:12.786
I don't think that's like the worst thing that we've ever talked about.

00:58:12.786 --> 00:58:14.208
No, for sure Not.

00:58:14.228 --> 00:58:15.431
All right, we got to wrap up.

00:58:15.431 --> 00:58:16.052
We've been an hour.

00:58:16.793 --> 00:58:19.748
