after Christmas like it's not wor crazy to take that additional day off I'm I'm going to push I'm going to forward my time off at some point in a later date whenever I want to whenever I choose to execute my birthday I do it you could have a different season birthday that's what I feel like because so my birthday is in August and it's usually hot and miserable and people are usually busy in a way because it's summer right so it's hard to like rain people in and be like but it's my birthday so I feel like I've always wanted sort of a different time of year for mine what what day in August the 1 oh okay yeah so it's like just there it's August yeah yeah see Cliffs is toward the end so we always end up doing like fun birthday stuff for him his birthday is always magical we're like on a badass vacation it's usually nice weather the last so I'm like you know July just happened so it's hot as blazes and it's just not as fun no Rich says he just picked up his peppermint mocha at dunks and a lottery at Doughboy Donuts delicious dish always bring quinoa into the discussion yes fair I never asked you do you like quinoa I do like quinoa it's okay it's one of those grains it's it's like rice but not yeah right I can take it or leave it it's really great with avocado it actually is that is a fact so I saw that Duncan is taking away coconut milk I mean okay that's what they were like nobody wanted it that's why do people really put coconut milk in their coffee like I feel like that's one of those weird diet Trend things but not something you put in your coffee if you're if you're someone who can't have milk then sure there's almond milk and soy milk like you have choices right there's oat milk there's lots of choices now even at Dunkin' Donuts which is pretty great but like are you really putting coconut milk in your coffee yeah that's that's why they're taking it away that's fair good morning paa hey Mark thanks for talking to us this morning and it's too healthy for your gut that's why they're getting rid of coconut milk I mean if you mix it with Dunkin Donuts coffee that's kind of a like mix match right not that doesn't track no also I'm going to fire this down with a dut what's the point yeah that makes no sense all or nothing that's like you know it's like super sized fries with a Diet Coke it makes no sense I don't get but I like the taste whatever it's all poison anyway what the hell does it matter honestly I was having this food discussion with someone yesterday I don't even know how we got on this like rant about healthy food oh I was with Jenny wheeler that's I was like why am I talking about healthy foods oh yeah it was Jenny wheeler was she has healthy foods that are delicious as opposed to like I'm supposed to be nourishing my body crunch

stand last that's not good that's the worst I try to like drink as much water as possible because hydration is healthy but also it makes you get up like you have no choice at some point to go and relief yourself so that's my some there are days where that's my exercise so bad forced exercise it's good though although although to be fair I am still in physical therapy for my knee how is that going it's better God it sucks being old it is better but it's not it's still not back to being my knee yeah H it takes forever to heal now so that's been real fun but at least I'm down to only twice a week I was at three days a week so we're you know we're getting there I was watching my husband go through that for like the last three years with his shoulder post surgery it just he he couldn't even find appointments there were no appointments to had nobody works anymore I don't know where these people are who's independently wealthy how many Etsy channels are out there that people are making mad money at well I'm willing to take the early morning appointments right there you go see early bird gets the wor of my friends get it done seriously I've been taking like the an 8:00

food in the city you absolutely can every single country is represented with a restaurant somewhere and then walk up fly F the stairs and work it off but what jogged my brain about this conversation

doors down like there's so many things for them to do I would love that I don't go explore you can have your video games anytime anywhere meanwhile sending me Tik Tok of why not to visit whatever New York and it was like packed streets it was like New Year's Eve and I was like Cody stop we're not even going down like that are have youever done New Year's Eve yes I was pickpocketed I was robbed were you really oh I have two really great experiences in Christmas or in New Year's Eve in New York and you've been pit pocketed I was robbed I was 18 years old we were there with a bunch of friends and I was like wait where's my oh oh no flipping way luckily when you're 18 what do you have a debit card in your ID I mean honestly I maybe 20 bucks was like good good luck CH yeah I went twice and yeah I was probably like 19 or 20 both times like they were I think they were two years in a row and they were we were very young but like right I both times it was like an amazing we found like the best free parking ever yeah two train stops away from where we were going like that doesn't happen that was a freaking miracle and then like I dropped a mitten which it's New York City your Mitten is gone no someone found it picked it up brought it over to me saw had seen me with it earlier and they were like is this your mitten get out of town got my Mitten back she get pit pocketed I got my Mitten back I'm just saying that might be the Universe telling us who's who at this table I was young and dumb and I wasn't paying attention but once again I didn't lose too much and you know what was a slice of pizza in the city five bucks at this even now still five bucks so I mean you're fine we it was it was manageable it wasn't devastating this day and age I'd be hosed although I do lose my stuff all the time time because I'm always going at lightning speed uh you should have seen the chaos of her trying to I told her she needed to wear the Santa hat I was like I am disappointed in you there's no Santa hat and she went and disappeared and I I I just heard a clatter I had trying to find her Santa hat five stories up five stories down where are my car keys I was like a Lady Gaga song where are my keys I lost my phone I can't find my car keys I know where my Santa hat is I went outside I saw it through my car window I was like there it is so it was very much like that poem The Night Before Christmas she Rose such a clatter just trying to find her and all through the house not a creature starring just me looking for my keys I've Rewritten that story it's fabulous so yeah we're doing this fun little house swap and I saw the story today where Airbnb says that they are going to be using AI to tell if you're having parties in your rentals I need more details so for one who cares right it's New Year you let it go if they're paying for three night rentals and as long as they clean up after themselves what does it matter marry Mary I mean I do understand that um and I will speak from a friend's experience of arbnb she has one on her street and she says all summer long it's a zoo NE with the neighbors and they're so irritated by it because I was like why would you do that but then again Lisa if you're watching uh she deals with it all summer long because she's by a cute Cap Cod Beach and there is n cars and crazy people and it's like GH renters okay that's fair but other than that AI like what does that what kind of AI are we using what does that mean is there like a decibel counter inside the house or it's like spies we're sending drones out to see if you have cars there it's getting a little aggressive right what kind of AI and how how invasive is it we already know that they're listening to us all the time if you say anything near a device it's going to come back with ad and all the other likes we know this already absolutely so now you're adding AI to spy on us to see what where how that's what I just want to know just tell me what it is that is invading this is like Vanilla Sky I understand there's no such thing as privacy anymore because yeah we all have devices in our pocket tracking us but also like there's just cameras everywhere now yeah everyone's front door has a ring like okay right we're on camera all the time fine no more privacy we gave it all away but just so tell me I'm admitting it I know what happening just tell me how you're doing it right or like at least remind me you are on camera jerk oh yeah that's right I got a delivery of goods I know I did not order it was AI listening to me interesting now that's freaky so is preemptive you were probably saying oh man I wish I had a fill in the blank well I would like to do that well it'd be delivered if I don't have to pay for it that's yeah there you go like if it's free test it out now everyone while it's new see what we can get from this what happens there yep so we've got a little house swap going on very much looking forward to it and then uh one of our weird news stories that I came across this morning which made me laugh and prompted a question when is it appropriate to eat in public yeah I I want people to weigh in on this so if you've ever been in a New York Subway you you've seen it all I have seen it all I really have New York especially their Subway is extra so recently when Rich and I were at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony I stayed with my brother and then I took the subway in to Barkley's makes sense so it's like a a 40 minute subway ride it's a good you're on from the start to the end really where am I saw it all I there is just a lot to take in there just you name it various shades of nudity crazy SLE time just the outfits the sights and sounds I did not whis um witness anyone eating a full lobster no while commuting why not it's New York but apparently this is what happened this week we're new New York City full like that's epic an entire Lobster and lobsters are messy as someone who doesn't eat meat I don't love having Lobster with friends because I'm going to get squirted did you ever watch the movie Splash yes do you remember when she eats the lobster like hole in the restaurant even when you're not trying like but what's funny is like that could this the whole lobster on the subway thing can only happen in New York City and and I will tell you that I so I used to live in DC the metro in DC has food public food on public transit is locked down once I was taking the metro and I took out a granola bar really a granola ol bar folks and I open it up and I take one bite and a sound system comes on and it was like St your food and I didn't realize they were talking to me it was just flipping granola bar I didn't even think much about it I'm coming from Boston New York subways like you can eat a whole lobster in New York I can't have a granola bar and like and so I take another bite I was like store your food or you'll be removed from the from the train and I was like who are they even talking to I'm like looking around like someone finally like nudge nudge like somebody better tell that person it's you could you put your like they will stop the train could you put your granola bar away and I was like wait for real like completely surprised so if if the Metro which this is way before AI by the way they were watching and they were big on the entire train heard it I was now the person everyone was staring at for a granola bar and then they threatened to kick me off the train but this guy whole lobster not a problem New York's a different culture it really is photos of it and everything like I can't even imagine a the smell B the mess and C what why if you're eating lobster it's not like a cheapy Lobster why would you do that on the train like what what world do you live in where you have to save time like that guys I only 20 minutes I've got to get this Lobster in like you don't have the ability to sit down and enjoy that Lobster like if you're gonna eat on the train it should be cup a noodle like that the grossest food in transit I've ever heard of in my entire life this is what I'm saying Rich says like stuff like am pastries I mean that's fine but outside that nothing else should be eaten in public transportation subway train airplane we've all taken that plane trip where people are bringing in like full smelly meals yeah and then you're stuck with like that weird after McDonald's smell yeah in the whole flight even I don't miss there are Parts about working in an office and when someone would bring in their smelly tuna fish sandwich or like someone would heat up something gross in the microwave and like the whole office would smell like it you're forced oh my God I I went I used to work for the public school department and so at schools it would be an interesting mix of the people who had no idea that they should microwave fish and then everyone else who was like I know who did this because it's the same perpetrator every time when you're in that office or that close network of people who work together you know who it is and they're all talking about you behind your back 100% stop one of our former trainers at the gym also you know who you are Bonnie uh e not only that she like one uped it like eating tuna fish with her hands like in the gym on the floor while training someone like I get you got to get your protein in when you're getting ready for a show Fork use a forklift one two I can't Fork there was an incident this week at mashby high school where one of the teachers was microwaving their lunch and blew it up whole school had to be evacuated what were they having still I want to know that that information was not released that's the first question were they doing what was it and what happened um conversely in burnable one of the teachers left a bunson burner running that's horrifying oh my God two two little nuggets happen I think everybody's just Bur out that's just it we're all on vacation already so tired why are we here still and like with with the big holiday the reason why you get time off happening on was it Sunday or Monday like you have to work the whole week leading up to it because there excuse right like Christmas is Monday right right so Christmas Eve is Sunday so like you got you school until Friday one of the worst is people eating fried chicken on the subway I've never witnessed that but that's also gross and greasy now you're touching things what's the like what's the like egg fu young the like heavy noodle Lan l i saw someone eating L man on the subway once and I was just like because it's oily and smelly that's it they fall off the fork and this person was using a fork by the way not Chopsticks and like you know it's gonna fall right off the fork I can't but Fried Chicken's right up there I don't even like eating at gigs because I don't like that conversation where I might have something in my teeth while I'm talking to people I don't like it yeah I always I'm always like hi so it's just not worth I will wait I will wait a few hours and I will eat in private no one needs to see that seriously I was scarred because one time I was eating chicken because I was in a rush I left the office had to go to the bank I talked to Duncan the bank manager and then I looked in the mirror on my way out of there and I had like this big like barbecue chicken black black Fleck from the barbecue and that's one of those things I had a whole conversation with somebody like this and then that's one of those moments where you're like do I or I don't want to say something in case that is not a I was gonna go back in there and look crazy and be like I have a whole tooth but the person conversing with you is like I'm not saying anything in case that's a permanent Mark do yourself a favor and say something in the moment if somebody has something in their teeth don't be a jerk and let them continue on their day with that let them know please even if it's a weird embarrassing awkward moment and the subtle like doesn't work don't do that because then you just look like a weirdo like like Kim Kardashian who's always like it driv it's one of her ticks that makes me crazy not that I want to watch any of her I still haven't good for you I've never watched the Kardashians I've heard of them because everyone talks about them but they're not in my world there's one girl that spoofs all of them on Tik Tok and my favorite is she uses posit notes as Chloe's fingernails so they're always like falling off as she's doing stuff and it just makes me laugh it's really bad see so that sounds great except I probably wouldn't get half of them because you would enjoy the comedy even if you didn't the way that she portrays them in their foolish ticks it she magnifies them and it's absolutely phenomenal and definitely worth a watch good morning Lucinda hey Margaret and Susan I miss you how are you good morning Ashley thanks for joining us today saraphina and I are just having fun yeah this again i' I've checked out I don't know about the rest of you well Santa's coming absolutely absolutely and I can't wait take some time oh um so are you familiar with the fact that NORAD Tracks Santa Claus I did know this because cat Wilson used to do this big hold Santa Claus thing right it's super fun yeah but the fun fact about why NORAD track s is to me one of the best stories because of it does lead into what I do for a living so just stick stick with me so once upon a time in 1955 a Sears store in Colorado decided to place an ad in the local newspaper to give kids this phone number you can dial this number and call Santa and tell Santa what you want which from from Sears marketing brilliant right you're equating the Sears catalog with Christmas catalog absolutely brilliant so they put this ad in the and yeah kids called the number the problem was there was a typo in the ad and the phone number that the kids were dialing was not the Sears line created to ho ho ho call Santa no you were calling a unlisted black backline for what was later to become NORAD so back then it was something else but when it became NORAD the same thing so they called NORAD and asked about Santa Claus and could I get this for Christmas the guy answering the phone that night to his credit decides I'm going to play along let's do this and just pretend to be Santa Claus and they fixed it as soon as they could after that but like that's what started love the tradition of every year NORAD Tracks Santa Claus and all started because of a typo so what I tell my clients is uh I'm your art department but I'm a human being who went to art school and sometimes I miss stuff so you need to have as many eyeballs looking at your proofs before it goes to press because most of the time when stuff goes to press with a bad typo it doesn't start start a time honored holiday tradition right it's just you gave the wrong phone number out and someone called someone else and you missed that business Y and you spent money for nothing Sears turned it around and now we all track Santa Claus with NORAD but yeah to be fair though in the 50s we didn't have phones and other distractions so people were more apt to play along with things because they were just bored that's true I mean how many people are calling a backline at the Conrad or whatever it was called well no one ever wants to talk to me I'll play along this is fun sure I'll be Santa there's nothing else going on it's 1955 right it was like me at the radio station taking your request for smash it or trash at on 963 the rose very similar I'm here this is my time I'll happily talk to you and play you some some stuff I've never heard of sounds good it's up next and I did why we didn't have phones this was my entertainment see now we're all stuck here doing nothing no one needs us anymore we'll be over here a little fossil that I am hey we're streaming right now and it's right where we're Streaming new to Instagram that is a new offering I don't know if it's doing it right or not if somebody oh yeah I said I was going to check that you know what I'm doing my best like I loved your I'm right on top of that Rose today that made my heart Happy I like scream a fun fact up the stairs at her and she's like write that down right on top of that Rose Don't Tell Mom the babysitter is dead timeless classic we love Christina Applegate I I don't know that you're is it that one is it the other one I don't know I don't know I think they still have a problem with the stream key they're like yay we have this new thing well it doesn't work properly so back to the drawing board yeah no you're not live sorry Instagram we tried oh well I saw that Cameron Diaz is trying to normalize sleep divorce I don't understand what is sleep divorce she does not sleep in the same bed as her husband oh so it's 1955 at the Diaz house as well correct and I gotta tell you if you've been watching any of my social media and my husband's Antics he needs a cpat machine A and B I'm kind of down for the Sleep divorce his snoring is outrageous a yeah no just get that fixed and then you go back to I'm like this I'll nudge him and I'm like okay how long do I have maybe I can fall asleep in this metime damn it nudge him a little bit wake him up a little bit try and fall asleep in that in between like that it's got to go a he got a sleep study coming up there you go yeah you'll be fine but those machines are like few and far between they he has to wait a whole month to get the study done to do the sleep is sleep to do the sleep test yes really whole month is this like go to the hospital to get sleep deser like they do it at home send it at home yeah well so you're gonna have to hook him up whatever I'm down for it anything to get my sleep back please yes thank you you didn't sleep before I don't know what you're talking about I've bet you you stay up late and get up early you don't sleep I threw myself in the tub yesterday came home from bowling and he's like I see you put another video of me snoring on the internet I was like what oh you saw that all right so I'm missing this so where is that happing I don't know if it's it's Facebook usually my story but I definitely Tik toked him sleeping at work I'm not good at the stories and the tick tockies guys there are four million social medias what is everybody even using at this point to connect with people it stresses me out so on a personal like I'm a dinosaur and I'm all about Facebook for my personal like just like me my friends my family but um for work it's LinkedIn that's my my go-to is using LinkedIn which if you follow me on or if we're connected on LinkedIn you would have seen the NORAD story I posted it this morning before coming in but yeah Lin um yeah that's I have Instagram only because I'm a visual creative person so like it makes sense to post images on on on Instagram but I can't keep up I I've hit the I feel like someone when with music's always changing the media although now we don't even have physical media for music but like my dad would always be like we're doing this again like like we went from records to tapes and then from tapes to CDs and then now CDs are mp3s and we just keep doing this like at some point my dad hit a wall and he was just like I'm not buying my music collection again not doing it and now that's where I feel like with social media I'm like I'm not doing this again I'm not moving on to a new platform it's not happening I feel like it's reached its final stage though I'm not quite sure if you're gonna implant it into my brain are there music implants you remember I feel like you remember Google Glasses which failed I think it was just ahead of its time I think that'll come back around it is they're making it more marketable right now um $300 their metag glass so that's where we're heading and kind I don't hate it necessarily think about it you're at a chamber meeting and you look over and you're like I've met that person seven times and I still can't remember their name well your little Google Glass will be like beepo Boop this is Tom and you met him here and da D and I'm like oh yeah hey good to see you I haven't seen you since X Y and Z that is great if that's the only way you're using it yeah you know that's not how people are actually gonna use it that's like I use AI to help me write my article and then it's like oh a I wrote the article you know like there's a fine line well you do have to have a base knowledge before you know what I mean no you don't you don't think so I don't think so I think I could probably as someone who doesn't have an English Lit degree I bet you I could go in and write a fabulous paper on a book I've never read using AI I would like to to I want to see this I can't do as someone with an English Lit degree I would like to see this I bet you I could I bet you we could pick a book I've never even read and I could send you a paper next week I can we put this to actual test absolutely because I see okay your birthday is the deadline y so I will email you this paper by your birthday pick a book I've never read okay go ahead I'm trying to think anything by Cher definitely not red choser good all pick something by Cher and let's I want I want a one-page report oh only one page that's nothing on the canterberry tales oh I have read the canterberry tales another one pick another one you're right anything and then let's say and I won't know because I've never read it and I'll send you the paper perfect yep okay we'll see I know he can I'm going to do the same let's put in the same parameters but I'll put in things that I know about the book and maybe some backend stuff and see if there's anything and let's see if there's more information to better write this somebody somebody suggested choser that isn't canab bear so that way we didn't come up with it like someone out there it's got to be somebody fresh out there that to pick something that we don't know about Hank says the Duncan That Time Forgot has reopened it looks great they're they still screwed up by coffee well Hank you there's still people in there all right so Hank as a New Englander I feel like you should know the rules about dunks byy now there is always the one that gets your order perfect every time and it's like this mysterious magical experience where it's the best tasting whatever sandwich you order it's the best coffee and then there's always that one that never gets it right never again you shall have and those two places are never the same places for different people so you you've learned the one that is never right for you sir you need to go to the one that's always is right even if it's out of the way that is the Dunkin' Donuts rule one out of eight dun sorry I know they rebranded it's just dunks Duncan but one out of eight iced coffees are good at Duncan you're welcome particular there's one in particular that always gets my order wrong every single time and I refuse to go there and Natasha is like that one's great so it's seriously it's like not the same for every person it's person specific I am going to be sleeping with Darth Vader yes it is uh I've accepted it what's up Molly thanks for joining us this morning that that's going to be more like the cpaps more like white noise at that point and it won't be nearly as bad as the snoring you'll sleep right through that because it's constant yeah it's like having a white noise machine you'll be fine I I need that I need that in my life a little white noise sign me up for it so yes it is the first day of winter my favorite part about winter cozy socks slower days okay you know what I mean I like a good snuggle grab a comfy blanket you talking about sleep divorce now you want to talk about oh just you snuggle with the blanket no okay I don't need extras not your husband got it no he gets too hot there's a lot I love him here at this distance like near radiating near me lovingly looking at me hysterical one arm away I'm not a touchy person okay I'm not I'm not I am a hugger but it's like hugging we're done now okay it's it yeah I'm not super touchy even my kids are like Lily will come over and be like oh you love this don't you and I'm like I love you but not that much she's just messing with you oh she 100% because she knows it yeah she she knows the way I am it's like a little too too much for me I don't know why I am this way but I am this way so these are the things I like about winter we've got the the winter solstice which is today and if you're a super nerd and you want to uh view the sunrise coming back so Solstice is of course the longest night of the year because it's the shortest day and then the sunrise and we have Stonehenge not here unfortunately I've never been to Stonehenge I've driven past it and I was like why aren't we stopping so far um Stonehenge is something you can follow on Facebook and you can actually watch live videos so at both the winter and summer solstice you can watch the sunrise or set so at 2 am Eastern Standard time the Sun will be rising so tonight tomorrow morning 2 am. the sun will be rising and it'll go through those you'll be able to see it through Stonehenge very pretty and uh so you could enjoy the solstice celebration at Stonehenge via Facebook live if you want to follow Stonehenge on Facebook yeah it's pretty it's pretty neat I gotta I gotta tell you though it's really in the middle of nowhere I was I was in England we were on the highway and we were like driving by and I see like the exit sign like here for Stonehenge and we were still going and I was like I'm sorry Stonehenge is right there why aren't we stopping cuz it's still like another 20 minutes after you take the exit and then you got to walk like three miles to where the rocks are in the middle of a field I mean it's really I'm like okay so who's the dumb one here that went in the middle of nowhere in the middle of England to see rocks in a field me me I did well I want to I want to be that idiot I've been to the Blarney Castle and kissed the stupid Stone I I didn't kiss it I watched Cliff do it because of the legend where they told you that you peed on it so that I was like you kissed that I'm not doing that heard that after so I didn't know but they wash it I watched them wash it oh okay I was like but is that something they tell you preco also so we had different rules back then yeah I let Cliff get on in there I was like I'm not I'm not doing that but you do it for me send me some luck I definitely want to see Stone Hench that's still on my bucket list despite having been on the highway that goes to it it is it is it is pretty neat we were also super exhausted because we did all of our traveling and then jumped on the train got out of the city and went immediately that that was the first thing that we saw cuz we did the whole loop around count you're still jet lagged and stuff like you barely see it we were a mess I've got to show you the photos before you leave because you laugh we were all like a mess like I didn't slept in two days yeah or rumpled but my kids were wearing Mash B t-shirts and consell at the school was like can I post that on Instagram I'm like sure they love that I was hated for weeks of course the answer was no Mom seriously I was like what it was cute they featured you at the school Instagram this is what I did on my summer vacation hi Callie Enchanted Forest ah hey Mrs Claus hi she she wins the day here good morning Katherine and Amy thanks for joining us this morning that is part of our trivia so all week long uh we've had winter trivia makes sense in the solstice and that is the answer to one of our trivia question questions so if you're coming out to the yach club in hyenas tonight to see me for my final one just remember at Stonehenge that is the answer for one of them I can't help you with the other four rounds of trivia but that's one answer I got for you great I'm in so there was a crazy Crime Story saraphina came in today she was like I need the crazy crime last like two or three times I was on your show we didn't do crazy crime and that's one of my favorite segments so it was rather disappointing I had to I had to pull Rank and make a request no I definitely am glad that you brought it up and then we were hoping for a holiday related I mean obviously crazy crime and it it was delivered to us I need more information for this story the story comes out of Missouri oh that's not a usual no it's usually Florida or Texas don't worry we have two of those if we want to get to them at some point during the show so the story comes out of Missouri and since today is humbug day I figured this life this guy is totally a true real life Grinch Vandal destroyed Christmas display at a preservation area in House Springs authorities said Lucas Clayton was arrested on Sunday last Sunday still in jail by the way today on $10,000 Bond so somebody definitely does not like this man oh my God or hasn't been able to see a judge yet Clayton is accused of ruining the light display at the house Springs Park Sheriff's uh received word that someone had slashed six inflatable Christmas decorations stole extension cords tossed things into the pond reindeer decorations and several plastic candy canes all floating in the pond that's just bad for the environment but it doesn't say why I need to know why and the only thing I can think of here's my theory okay my theory is he got whammed and whamageddon and he's really mad about it I told you that one more time are you guys familiar with wheddon it's my husband's favorite song so I could never play I would always lose I I got it I got to the 14th this year before I got whammed so tell everybody about wh whamageddon is this annual holiday game where um whether when you're out in the wild and randomly there's Christmas music because it's basically it starts in November now but the game goes from December 1 to December 24 and you are trying not to hear whams last Christmas now the rules are if you're the one who hit play that does not count and if it's a cover that does not count it has to be wham's version of Last Christmas and it has to have happened naturally so I man managed to get to all the way to the 14th before I was like and I literally was like oh I'm being whammed like as it was halfway through you made it halfway through so I only get 14 points for whamageddon that's all right good morning Patricia I saw that Ryan Reynolds and Rob molan posted a photo of them superimposed over the Wham album for that and I loved it it was a a definite Christmas gift for me I love those two boys it's it's a fun game yeah I mean you know so that's what I think happened this dude got whammed and he was really mad about it because he was trying to beat last year's score didn't get there so he destroyed a Christmas dis see that at least brings a little bit more fun to it I even went to the full on story from their their news I mean the other thought is like he's in retail and really needed extension cord yeah right like what and he's just done that's the only other yeah I think the guy's just a jerk I think it bottoms down to he's just a jerk I mean even if Christmas isn't your holiday which is valid but like enjoy the lights I don't know I I just love the fact that it's dark as anything right now but everyone's got lights on their house y this one's a true Florida crazy crazy where an Ohio man was caught in Florida exposing himself at a Dollar Tree store oh that's like the trifecta right do you feel like I'm in Florida so I get to be Florida When in Rome absolutely but Ohio is also one of those states that are regularly on that list honestly like it's usually Florida Texas or Ohio so like that's great because you got two there and I mean adding dollar store to the mix is just chef's kiss perfect so yucky yuck yuck I do not like this oh my gosh not at all no that sucks for the people who work there like honestly like keep yourself to yourself come on can you put put it back in your pants dude people don't want that picture sent to them and they really don't want you to show up at their place of employment it's not right where are you at in your your work life balance right now me yeah well I'm not exposing people at the dollar Tre I think I'm all right um actually I'm okay so I've had uh Enchanted floor is one of them actually I had a lovely like I reached out to the people who were mid project and I was like we could do it this week we could plow through or week wait till New Year's like what like because I'm I'm not working next week I'm taking next week off or some mental health decompressed like you know and and so and absolutely I had one client was like no yeah let's finish it and everyone else is like see you next year I was like so it was perfect so this week's been great nice yeah I feel very fortunate good for you and let everybody know what you do and they might need you in planning for 2024 yes so new year new business you you need something um so I am a photographer and a graphic designer and I help small business owners with their marketing artwork and their branding um so if you are brand new you're starting a new business next year and you need a logo um and more is not brand is not just AO that's like the exclamation point on your brand and then um if you're local or if you do products and you can ship them I can take photos for your business as well so like I just was hanging out with Kelly had Enchanted Flor not too long ago awes taken some really amazing photos of her flowers I know she she takes such is so great it's also just like a pleasant place to be so if you need flowers that's where you should get it because also you're just gonna have a great time hanging the amount Kelly I got to tell you the amount of people that were in awe of my Thanksgiving display that you gave to us and basket are so cool so cute and also lasted a full month like full month quality I had um when I was there I bought some uh flowers to bring back to my office and I was like in love with them for several weeks that I had that bouquet in my office and I was like oh look at that yay a love you Uncle Dan he said happy early birthday niece thank you that's right it's about all I they sang Happy Birthday to me Monday at trivia which I appreciated because I wasn't going to see them post my birthday because next Monday is Christmas yeah that's a thing I know I feel like this year I'm so removed from my husband did all of the shopping o which is well he likes to he gets anxiety if he doesn't get things done yeah and I'm like H it'll get done I'm like that this is why my stuff was all done like months ago too in the same way oh yeah you freak out if it's not like checked box in fact and Natasha's very good at checking being the balance for this is like we we have a um a Yankee Swap or white elephant or whatever we're calling it like in January like well into January by the way it's like mid to late January and I already have the thing I'm giving and it's already wrapped and ready to go and I was like so are you gonna do that too and do you have that do you need me to wrap it like I was like and she was like isn't it like over a month away yeah I no I don't know what I'm doing for it yet I've got time and I was like right Cliff is also the rapper yeah yeah because I grew up my parents did not rap gifts really yeah they were not gift rappers it was kind of like this is your did it go in a bag or just so like Christmas morning stuff was just under the tree Santa just delivered like emptied his sack and put a you the second person this year I've met where they've told me that and and I was it was weird to me that people wrapped gifts that were not Santa's gifts aren't wrapped they just came out of the sack that but like in every cartoon you see the elves wrapped the things like every cartoon image of Santa is like wrapped gifts in that bat you're like take out they don't take out stuff usually we were not influenced by media in my childhood and where she ended up all of my brother my sister my brother's in TV and my sister's in publicity we were not influenced by media we were fascinated by it when we got it it was a treat we were just forced to listen to our parents and what my mother said went I didn't have a choice like what she said to me was gospel I just believed that there was not my poor parents when I little little me noticed that Santa has the exact same wrapping paper and handwriting as Mommy I totally put that together way too early so my the following year my mom was like okay so she bought a different roll of wrapping paper and it was Santa's paper and then my dad's black handwriting would go on that those things so it was like from Santa and it was like not my mom obvious and I no but that was enough for me I was like oh okay like the following year I was fine and whole year Myer my younger siblings never caught it so but I was totally that kid who was like why is Santa's paper the same as Mommy no that's crazy and your family didn't do it at all they like didn't bother well but it was good because there were no clues but how did you know which ones were from your family which or were they all from Santa they were all from Santa oh see that's see we had one gift was from Santa yeah and everything else was from Mom and Dad oh yeah no it was all from Santa we all got one thing from Santa I mean also Santa also screwed me on my birthday because it was here is your bike for your birthday and Christmas here is your big thing for your birthday and Christmas and I was like right because that's what parents do but then you could be mad at Santa instead of your parents for that yeah but let me tell you as a kid whose birthday is in August Santa never got me anything for my birthday that's right so you could turn that around you can look the other direction but I never questioned it I it was I guess apparently a smooth transition into the army I was like well I just I follow Direction just I go where I where are you in are you the oldest the youngest I'm the oldest oh interesting and I didn't ruin it for my siblings either I was just like no this is what we do we do these things and they were like but why right they're like but both of my siblings are are but wise I'm the butt why I'm like I need to know why I need you to explain we just do it why you got to ask so many questions we just show up no I I need the why or I'm not doing it and the people who have learned that about me are the people who have kept me like basically they're like okay I understand let me tell you why we're doing it this way and like I'm yeah I I've had some jobs where I was clearly the like the worst employee because I would just be like huh and I really feel like makes no sense this is why I have such a hard time parenting sometimes I was like I just told you so you're supposed to listen nope and both all of my children are like yeah right yeah but why all of my children I'm going to do it differently than all of everyone else they're all different if you're a why person tell us cuz I bet you were I bet you we outnumbered the like 100% now the followers but for me it was just easier to go along because I'm not going to fight her my mother is very strong very strong W there was no I'm not gonna it's just not worth it this proves that I'm a jerk because I was totally like oh I'll go I'll throw down oh you're so exhausting I'm like path of lease resistance is this going to get me through negative I will throw down especially with my parents now I'm like I'm over it it's I'm a very different me but kid me was like oh it's like can can this be over now so I can go do what I want to do no so different also it's different and somebody brought this up fairly recently which I laughed about because it's always like the hiding from the kids and the yes I know Don about Santa I mean Santa was real at one point okay Santa is still real words Escape me Merry Christmas kiddos what's up rich thank you Captain inappropriate we love you he was in my eforall cohort I was his mentor I was one of his mentors hi look at me I freaking love him words escaping he's like I don't know what to do with these two so I was having this conversation with another mom friend of mine and as I was going through my jewelry box and I had like locks of hair and kids teeth and like random stuff one of those all of my children I'm like I could be construed as a serial killer or a crazy mom yeah so why do I have this I feel like I can't throw it away I don't I don't even know what kid it came from oh that's a problem that's DNA from someone you know 100% I have this whole drawer in my jewelry box of teeth and hair I don't know where it came from it's creepy but I don't want to throw it away I don't know what to do I don't have kids so I don't have a good answer for this I know that my mom uh kept the first lock of hair from the first haircuts yeah so like in my baby book is like a little ringlet of my hair I don't know or think she the teeth that I don't have we haven't run into that but she did keep the the baby bracelet from the hospital yeah so it's like this big yeah and she had her bracelet so like each of the her Hospital bracelet with each tiny human so she had all she kept all those yeah but I mean I have all of those it's like no no it's I feel like I I don't know what to do is weird I don't know what to do about you can't like a serial killer you can't craft with that like please don't make a necklace like if the world ended today they would be like like these people are creepy w at all of her these trinkets from all other hum we we need moms to chime in is that a thing people keep the teeth I I would like to know some other mother that is also as creepy as me I don't know what to do with it I I feel like I want to throw it away but every time I'm like think about the world try man please I'm curious about this again I've never had this impulse so I don't no um yeah your parents told you there was no Santa who said that oh Kelly oh no Santa I responded I believe the Easter Bunny the Tooth Fairy and Santa and walked away nice see Defiance like that Denise also I have the teeth I don't know why see I'm not alone all right all right so it's just a cultural thing I don't understand that's fine I don't know why what do you do with it now well I mean it's like yeah exact should I throw it away now I don't know Kelly was 10 that's a good I like that 10-year-old that 10-year-old I love that all of my children never ruined it for the little ones because we've got a big swath our oldest is 26 you there's always some punk at school that does it and our youngest is 14 at this one just turn 15 but yeah they never ruined it for either one of them they they believed for a very long time that's great I feel like 10 though it's like all right you know it's time I don't think I would ever tell my kid yeah they they figure it out usually that stuff gets ruined for them on the bus that's the thing it's some jerk at school it always is so don't let your kid be that kid to some other family that's what we need toach them that's it be mindful around you and always dress like Mrs Claus I I had a friend in in grade school who was Jewish and it was like third or fourth grade when I was like oh there's nothing and she was like well I've always known but I was told not to tell you people oh I like that though I was like that's fair thanks I was told not to ruin it for all of you other people she like I've always known he wasn't but you know I'm a good person that's cute I love that I also like logas and I'm kind of excit right lka for the win on that one lodka is amazing well that's why I feel like we'll have much more we'll have better food for Christmas in New York that's true you got all so many options so many I'm very excited for it um anything that you want to hit before we leave I mean we've been yapping on for an hour here I love it um happy holidays obviously enjoy the New Year's whatever you're doing for that um I feel like we're having a lowkey one this year normally I'm for sale but um I made my price exorbitant this year because I wanted it for me nice if you're GNA go out it's gonna be worth it if I'm gonna go out it's G to be worth it so I've got a couple of like pre- New Year celebrations at some of the um older adult um communities that I work with nice I know so it's like the 30th and like early in the afternoon like the you are my people that's awesome if you like to be in bed by 800m You Are My People yeah we're doing it lowkey this year we've had a lot going on like personal lives so we're

knockabout and they've got the polar plunge and I'm doing it that's awesome well I I have an extra layer on me so I feel like I we does not matter it's going to be so cold I know I know that doesn't matter our friends at Cape Cod cold are plunging today okay for the solstice right okay they're meeting at 3:30 so just as it's getting dark to go plunge if you want to follow them or interested in it well there's no sharks no this is a safe time to go in the water well I mean there are but like not where you're going to be going in for a cold plunge yeah you're fine you'll be fine um but I there are so many Wellness benefits and I will uh I've talked to our friends over at Cape Cod cold before but if you want to uh join them in their plunge today um go with a bunch of friends better off not trying this alone as you're plunging into the water and cold temperatures kind of a little scary so but they'll have like a medic there or something oh Denise says well I paid dearly for those teeth so I want to keep them that's funny all right you did make them from scratch I guess you made them from scratch you had to pay for them as the tooth fairy that's true we did buy these it was a terrible terrible Pur that's true it is a bill of sale isn't it so I guess I guess keeping your investment is worth it I not thought of it that way so creepy moms are weird oh yeah totally sethy spice

fmet that still is uh working at the soup kitchen still like gets up and bags stuff for everyone I mean it's I mean if that I guess that's probably what keeps you going right those are the people who
