- 3:38number. OK, we'll see if we'll take it
- 3:41anyways. All right, moving on, you know
- 3:42what's the? Beef is nutcrackers that one
- 3:46aren't made of wood and they're made of like a stupid plastic no
- 3:51and one that they don't actually have like a working Nutcracker
- 3:55portion of them like they have the the like thing on their back
- 3:59that doesn't open or close the. Little arm here, the thing,
- 4:03sometimes it doesn't even move Yeah, it.
- 4:04Doesn't move, the mouth doesn't open or the mouth is in the
- 4:07stomach. Yeah, or the chest area and not
- 4:10painted from the mouth of a Nutcracker, no.
- 4:12Totally agree. Keep it classic, keep it wooden,
- 4:16maybe. Have some fun poses, but you
- 4:18know it has to crack nuts. It does.
- 4:22You can't have nutcrackers, You can't have a Nutcracker mouth
- 4:25and it's good. Like what in the?
- 4:27World and you can't have one that's just plastic and if you
- 4:30put a nut in it it. Wouldn't crack.
- 4:32It's true. I mean, now, let's be honest,
- 4:34most of these nutcrackers are not going to crack any nuts.
- 4:37But no. OK, OK, OK.
- 4:41I can crack a note on. Every single one we can bust a
- 4:46note on everyone and everyone who knew who knew?
- 4:49Now I'm a traditionalist. I, I do not decorate for
- 4:53Christmas until after Thanksgiving.
- 4:54Some people I know do before I don't care, no judgement do do
- 4:57your thing. So we're going to decorate today
- 4:59too, because thanks, he's over and it's time.
- 5:02Ashley has decided Thanksgiving is over because she is wearing a
- 5:05Christmas sweater right now. We gotta get the decorating done
- 5:08today. I just want to say two things I
- 5:10had about the Thanksgiving Day Parade real quick and we hosted
- 5:12Thanksgiving. Yes, it was.
- 5:14I think it was fun. I thought it was great.
- 5:16Food was delicious. Everybody had a lot of fun.
- 5:19I think I was drugged that day. I'm not sure what you guys had
- 5:21in the food because I went home and crashed.
- 5:25I absolutely crashed. And we were home at like what,
- 5:285:00 or something, or like 6? I mean, we already got home
- 5:32late. Well, Liv said she tried to wake
- 5:35me up. She shook me and tried to wake
- 5:38me up. Wouldn't wake up.
- 5:40I was gone. I was like, why was I so tired?
- 5:44I don't know. But we had a great time.
- 5:46It all worked out great. Well, I was like, what is it?
- 5:48What is the national dog show? Right, yes, OK, well, that comes
- 5:53on afterwards. So I'm sorry, I'm skipping
- 5:55completely over the parade. I've got one thing to talk about
- 5:58with the. Parade.
- 5:58My favorite tradition on Thanksgiving, honestly, is wake
- 6:01up. We turn on the parade the the
- 6:03Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Love that parade.
- 6:05That's true. We love the Broadway sneak
- 6:09peeks, you know, before the parade gets to that, you know,
- 6:12main center stage or whatever. We love it.
- 6:14I don't know. I love everything about it.
- 6:15Actually, actually it was up at like 5:30 because she was making
- 6:18the Turkey. And all that.
- 6:19So she. Came in at 7:30 and was like
- 6:21heavy, do you want to get up? And I was like, you know, say
- 6:26730. Fuck me.
- 6:29I just, I'd spent all of my Wednesday fucking cleaning.
- 6:32Because everybody was coming up like.
- 6:33A mad woman. And and she's like, I was like,
- 6:36and she's like. The Thanksgiving Day parade is
- 6:38starting. I mean bleeps out of bed.
- 6:42No, I did not. I started flailing.
- 6:43And then I'm like, hell, I'll tangled in the blankets.
- 6:47I'll go get out. Finally, I get up, I'll come
- 6:49out. Cynthia Areva was performing.
- 6:51She was singing. We were watching it on the
- 6:54Peacock, if you will. You were watching the Peacock?
- 6:56I don't have Peacock, so I'm watching it on the network.
- 6:58The Channel 5. Yeah.
- 7:00So I'm an hour behind you, or maybe more.
- 7:03Maybe more. I think yours start at 9:30.
- 7:05I think you two hours behind us. Maybe, I don't know, I thought
- 7:08it started at 9:00 but who knows.
- 7:10It doesn't matter but we were behind.
- 7:11True because you and my sister was also watching on Peacock.
- 7:14Yes, because they did, you see. Did you see this?
- 7:16Did you see that? I'm like, no, not yet.
- 7:19It's coming. Yeah, it hadn't been.
- 7:20I think we were an hour. I'm a good.
- 7:21I'm a good hour behind you guys. It's probably like 830.
- 7:24It came on. Did you have commercials in the
- 7:26middle of yours? I'm a couple, but yeah.
- 7:28We had a lot, because it's Peacock, they could control
- 7:30where. So that was kind of frustrating.
- 7:32We had a lot, a lot more commercials, I'm sure, on
- 7:34network TV, yeah. She watched a lot of the show.
- 7:37Well, they come down the thing and they stop in front of the
- 7:40Macy's, right? And there's the turkeys on top
- 7:42of the Macy's and they're playing the like the music's
- 7:45playing. And all of a sudden the doors
- 7:47open the and the doors open and boom, there's Savannah Guthrie,
- 7:51Guthrie and motherfucking Hoda. Hoda Coppi.
- 7:55I love Hoda. Coppi so much and I was
- 7:58literally cried the day she retired from the Today show.
- 8:00I literally the tears came but she was back.
- 8:04She was back for the parade. She was hosting This Is Your
- 8:06Baby with Savannah. And it was so funny because Abby
- 8:08calls me Ashley. Ashley says your mom's going to
- 8:11be so happy. They know me well because I had
- 8:15just turned on my TV right before you called me and I
- 8:17literally said so. Thrilled I was in the door and
- 8:22here she. Is And I was like, that's so
- 8:26funny. Abby calls me.
- 8:28I'm like, you're right, I'm happy.
- 8:30This is awesome. The day I'm alive.
- 8:31The day I'm. Alive.
- 8:33But so the the two best surprises of the parade were
- 8:37right there. Boom hoda copy was there and and
- 8:39the first musical to come through was like it was like the
- 8:42Cuban music. It was like the whatever.
- 8:44I don't know what it was in. Spanish.
- 8:45Then they cut to Hoda. Oh yeah, Hoda's chicken chicken
- 8:49and. We're dying.
- 8:50And then and then at the very end was the other best surprise.
- 8:54They're like Santa. Oh, and I'm looking, there's
- 8:57Santa standing this leg with Santa's Balkan elves.
- 8:59And I'm like what the fuck? Where is I literally yellow TV?
- 9:04OK, because they hadn't shown yet.
- 9:06All they're showing is the. I'm like where the.
- 9:08Fuck is Mrs. Claus? She's never up there with him.
- 9:12Not usually. She's been up there before.
- 9:13I know she has. Because there was a lady
- 9:16sitting. Next to him and I'm like,
- 9:18Ashley, they took off the, they took off me and I'm like, and
- 9:21Ashley's like. No, I think that and I'm like,
- 9:23that motherfucker is dressed like an elf.
- 9:25Right. They were all like elves.
- 9:27Well, and Abby actually texted me.
- 9:28Call me when you see Missus Claus.
- 9:31Because they finally. Showed us you're ahead you're.
- 9:34Ahead and I was like. We had the same reaction.
- 9:38As soon as finally they pan over to the side of the float and
- 9:41she's in front of the little house or whatever that's under
- 9:43the slate, she's coming outside and here she is.
- 9:46We did the same thing. We were like, oh.
- 9:47My God, Asian Missus Claus for the first time.
- 9:51Gorgeous. She's gorgeous.
- 9:53So beautiful. She was so ridiculously
- 9:55beautiful. Shocked like, Oh my God.

- 10:04Ever. I was like, damn that Lady, It's
- 10:06put together. She loses me.
- 10:07Yeah, we loved her. She was so great.
- 10:09Beautiful, like Santa always looks good.
- 10:11That Santa has a great outfit. He looks really good, I said.
- 10:14I said Santa. I didn't recognize your game.
- 10:15Santa can get it. That's what we learned.
- 10:18Santa can get it. Who knew he's going to?
- 10:23That Santa has a different wife every year.
- 10:26Year. But I got to tell you OK,
- 10:30today's economy, Dan in this economy the the funniest part of
- 10:35the parade for us not normally it's not like hilarious or
- 10:37anything. We loved it.
- 10:39One one thing stood up for me. Conan Gray performed the in the
- 10:43in the parade. He had on this beautiful white
- 10:46outfit with little feathers on his shoulders and sparkly high
- 10:49heeled boots and he looked in Is he the red that.
- 10:52Climbed the ship, no. No, he was on a little platform.
- 10:56He rolled it. He was like we.
- 10:57Didn't see it. Oh, I know.
- 10:59But there was a guy was climbing in the rigging of the thing
- 11:02we're cleaning. We were.
- 11:03Listen, I had a dad came over and was helping us with stuff.
- 11:06Yeah. Dad watched Huntrix.
- 11:08Perform watched the girls, so we got to we got to see the K pop
- 11:11DMV he watched. Our house.
- 11:13They went to your house and watched.
- 11:14It again, this is Conan Gray. Look at who he posted today when
- 11:17it's almost the 3rd of December and I still don't have a sweater
- 11:21and he's looking around like where's my Christmas sweater?
- 11:24He's so adorable. He's absolutely adorable.
- 11:27No, he they he just literally slid film like on a little
- 11:29platform and he had his band drummer did a playing and he's
- 11:34he's standing there Mike and he sings and then his the tour just
- 11:38recently was the Wishbone Pajama tour.
- 11:40So then these people come running around him with
- 11:43wishbones on flags, which was hilarious because it's
- 11:46Thanksgiving and it was just and it was hilarious, right?
- 11:49It was hilarious. So he was wonderful.
- 11:51We really enjoyed him. It's still there, unbroken.
- 11:54No, no, who? And I we pulled it.
- 11:57No, that grandma's is it dried? Is it dried?

- 12:12wishbone, but in the meantime, my favorite part OK, besides
- 12:16Asian Mrs. Claus, that's. Really good, we did love her.
- 12:18Did you see that? The girl who plays Cindy Lou
- 12:22Who? Yeah.
- 12:23The Grinch was, yes. And did you see?
- 12:25She gets done and they cut to the stands and the Grinch was
- 12:28there. The Grinch was there.
- 12:29The guy. Just was the Grinch and he's
- 12:31like, yeah, and he's. Sobbing.
- 12:34What was that movie? And she's all grown up.
- 12:36And that was really. And you should pull it already
- 12:38Set. Pull.
- 12:39Go, go, go, go. Why are we still smiling?
- 12:43I think I won. It's the biggest piece, right?
- 12:46Yeah. I think I won.
- 12:48It's down there, the biggest piece.
- 12:49I know it's the. Look, that kind of looked like a
- 12:51tie. It did cut, didn't it?
- 12:53Yeah, it split in half. Normally it breaks here.
- 12:58One side or the other? Well, I guess then it would be
- 13:00me because it's like mine broke in half and then you'd have
- 13:02listen, it doesn't matter, we're in the same household.
- 13:04Exactly. Both of you make a wish I
- 13:06already made. One all right.
- 13:08That was the last you. Made the wish.
- 13:10Make your wish. You can both.
- 13:12Oh well, I guess it's a good thing.
- 13:13I didn't I. Wished after I didn't know.
- 13:15We always wish beforehand and whoever pulls that their wish
- 13:18came true. That comes true.
- 13:20Gotcha, gotcha. Here you go.
- 13:24Look at your face in this picture.
- 13:27Snap alive if you if we're counting it not breaking here.
- 13:33You had the most, but technically this is what was in
- 13:36your hand and this is what was. In mind, don't say your wish,
- 13:39just in. Case you didn't.
- 13:41Just in case I didn't, I haven't wished for anything.
- 13:43Yet even wished I not wished it, just in case.
- 13:47Oh. I wish.
- 13:48I wish I could. Have wanted to wish.
- 13:50No, I wish I would have wanted to wish.
- 13:52Well, I'll tell you what the funniest part.
- 13:56But but this is the Grinch be like, yeah.
- 13:58That was special. Also when Huntrix is performing,
- 14:01then who's the dude who plays Bobby in Ken Jung?
- 14:04Ken Jung, he is in the audience and he are in the side and he's
- 14:08filming with his phone then performing and he he played, you
- 14:11know, Bobby, their manager in the I love my girls.
- 14:13I love my girls. And so that was a hoot.
- 14:15But I think that was I have some stuff saving there.
- 14:17I want to show you, I want to tell you he also was on it
- 14:20earlier and like, I think it was his son who was like, he's going
- 14:24to be dancing later with Hun tricks.
- 14:25And then he was and it was so hilarious because he's like,
- 14:28let's show you what what he's going to be doing.
- 14:30Some still see some moves. And so he starts doing his
- 14:32dancing and he goes now look, OK, look, you got to bring your
- 14:35A game. This is live.
- 14:36Come on, let's pick it up. Let's pick it up, buddy.
- 14:38He's like giving him giving him shit.
- 14:41And it was so funny. And then later he was like
- 14:43performing like dancing for himself.
- 14:45He saw a little boy, but it was really, really cute.
- 14:47So, so we love that. But then, you know, you got you
- 14:51love the balloons, Liv. Liv is this is the funny part.
- 14:56Liv is on her phone and she's looking at something, we don't
- 14:59know what because, you know, we're watching the parade and
- 15:02they announce, oh, here's Bluey the dog from Bluey, Bluey the
- 15:09show. And she normally really loves
- 15:13Bluey, OK. And she goes, oh, look at this
- 15:16fucking dog. I'm sure you not.
- 15:23She says, oh, look at this fucking dog.
- 15:26And so Sam and I go, what? And then we just lose it.
- 15:29We're laughing so hard because like, you love Louie.
- 15:31What's going on? Well, she was looking at some
- 15:34dumb ass dog on the phone and she was talking about the dog on
- 15:36her phone. But the timing could not have
- 15:39been more perfect. I Oh my God, we laughed so hard.
- 15:42Well, I had a similar misunderstanding at
- 15:44Thanksgiving. OK, Sam and I are in line
- 15:46getting food and she goes, look at these mashed potatoes.
- 15:53Oh my God, they're so crazy. And I go me too.
- 16:00I was just passed out. I wasn't.

- 16:10opposite side of the counter with his father OK getting his
- 16:15food as well. Yes and he goes oh I love
- 16:19stuffing and I go me too now on pronouncing me same at the same
- 16:24time just gone. Oh, so creamy.
- 16:29OK, that is a similar situation. And then you can understand why
- 16:33I did not mean me too. To Sam, Sam.
- 16:36Sam looks too like. I'm sure she turned like that
- 16:39would. Be like one thing.

- 17:37The lobster monster was also pretty.
- 17:40Good. Well, the prompt was lobster

- 21:46like rock star look. Has a guitar.
- 21:49He's very 80's rock and roll. Hair band, rock and.
- 21:52Roll face. He's not his face is not
- 21:55actually painted like like Kiss, which is a downstairs.
- 21:57He's got he's covered in silver glitter stars.
- 22:00He's got a red guitar and he's got like the one eye that has
- 22:05like the red see the red red flame paint and you're the
- 22:09right, the hair is very 80s, very 80's rock.
- 22:11He's not he's not painted to look like any of the kiss guys
- 22:14right, But he's like you said, classic 80's rock, toxic 80s and
- 22:18he is a working lightning bolt working Nutcracker.
- 22:21He is now let me he is amazing. Let.
- 22:23Me be honest. With you also.
- 22:24New just these are we're going through the new ones a lot.
- 22:26Let me be honest with you. I know that it's like, oh,
- 22:29what's the nutcrackers? They crack the nuts and it's
- 22:31like, oh, well, you know, I pull the lever.
- 22:32I want his mouth to open. So my question is, my question
- 22:35is, what nut is that Kraken for you, an almond cashew?
- 22:42What cashews come in nuts? I remember my mom having
- 22:46walnuts. Well, that's what I'm.
- 22:49Saying on cracked nut trays at. Christmas.
- 22:51Yeah, you at At Christmas you put out the tray of nuts.
- 22:55No, I understand on crack how little their mouths.
- 22:57Are now look these that's why I said these are not.
- 23:02With the bigger nut. Cracker.
- 23:03Now my mom did not have an actual Nutcracker, it was a
- 23:05metal. Yeah, I see.
- 23:08V shaped thing that could crack a nut.
- 23:10These are my. Normal size, like if you're
- 23:13looking at classic Nutcracker size, I mean, I mean the ones
- 23:16that I've recently shown or classic Nutcracker, I have sizes
- 23:20varying from. Walnut 2.
- 23:23I think that if you tried to crack a walnut, though, and all
- 23:25these, The Nutcracker would break right now.
- 23:27That if you put anything other than like, a pistachio in a
- 23:30Margaritaville's mouth, he would be permanently shocked.
- 23:33You know, you could you could you could crack a peanut.
- 23:36I bet in those. Yeah, right.
- 23:38Peanut shells are pretty soft. Yeah.
- 23:40OK. Do a peanut.
- 23:41Here we go. Next up is one of my more

- 35:18whatever you want to call it. And it's so, so incredibly
- 35:22beautiful. It's well, it's funny because
- 35:25when I got married, you know, sometimes when you get married,
- 35:26you used to be the tradition was you go and you register for your
- 35:30China and you pick out your pattern that you like and then
- 35:32people would get it for you for a gift.
- 35:35But I don't know if people do that much anymore because you
- 35:38know, who knows? But I couldn't find one that I
- 35:41liked because I kept thinking about Germany.
- 35:43That's oh, I'm sorry, oh, Germany, Germany, how, how I
- 35:53miss you so even though I've never visited you ever.
- 35:58I kept thinking about my dad. My parents said from Germany.
- 36:01And it's so little Deutschland in the case.
- 36:04You're not going to kick your ass.
- 36:07And so I did. We never registered for for
- 36:09China because I couldn't find when I left.
- 36:12And then my mom, I don't know, however many years later was
- 36:15just like, instead of doing like a will and saying everybody, you
- 36:18get this, you get this. She's like, tell me what you
- 36:21want and then I'll I'll know who wants what right.
- 36:23And I said, the only thing I want is the China.
- 36:25And she said, when you have a dining room, you can have it.
- 36:27And so I moved and when we built the house we're in, she.
- 36:31Said I need a dining. Room.
- 36:32Yes, she she gave it to me. Do you want to start with the
- 36:35smallest Nutcracker? I want to see.
- 36:37Your greatest hits, OK. The smallest Nutcracker.
- 36:42You have your greatest hits. Smallest Nutcracker.
- 36:48Smallest Nutcracker you were ready you were there yes and he
- 36:54actually works yes we found him that like a you guys.
- 36:57Found him not a flea market. The flea market.

- 37:04you do? It's like 2 inches, yes, 2
- 37:06inches tall. He is fully wood.
- 37:08Maybe he works like he has a working mouth.
- 37:11Wearing just a he we found him. I remember how excited we were
- 37:14we found him and we're like this cuz is insane.
- 37:17He was like, how? Much what did she want for?
- 37:20Him, not that much really, because it was like we were on
- 37:22the last day like. 20 bucks maybe or?
- 37:24And then we're like, will you take?
- 37:26I think we got him for like 10 bucks I thought.
- 37:28Well, that was like, he's like 10 or $20.
- 37:30It could have been more than 20. And I was like, you know, and,
- 37:32you know, telling he was like, do I want to really pay like
- 37:35$1015.00 for this? Nothing.
- 37:36You do, and you're like, yes, he's looking at him.
- 37:39He's adorable. Because Ashley wasn't there.
- 37:40I didn't realize he's there. You.
- 37:41Could tell he's old and he's in great.
- 37:44She's like they're great condition and what I and she was
- 37:47like well, cuz we talked about later it's like you to buy him
- 37:50is like $50. You don't see this like this
- 37:53anywhere? Yeah.
- 37:54So like, that's so unusual. You have to get him.
- 37:57Yeah, yes, All right. Show at.
- 37:58Show OK this next one. Oh, look at the glitter.
- 38:00Is a stack of three little working nutcrackers, each one of
- 38:05these. Has a whooping mouth.
- 38:06Yeah, look at them. I got this one on sale at the at
- 38:10home because they're missing the blocks and the Christmas
- 38:14countdown and the kind of wobbly.
- 38:16Is wobbly and it's he's Kurt turned it this way.
- 38:19This was this was the only one that all three of them were
- 38:23actually together in stock. There was a.
- 38:25Throughout this, I just saw this somewhere at the mall today and
- 38:29that the numbers were in there and I'm like, well, I think Ash
- 38:31has one like that and you do so. Yeah, so, but I like the fact
- 38:34that they're so. She stole the numbers out of it.
- 38:37I should have about last year. It's a weird one because I've
- 38:42never seen a music box that actually has.
- 38:45Fire it up. Well, First off, the mouth does
- 38:48move. Yeah, it does.
- 38:49Oh my God, I can see what you're about to say.
- 38:51Yes, Do it. Do it.
- 38:52Do it, do it. The he's a drummer, he's
- 38:57standing on a drum, and when she turns a little thing, the mouth
- 39:00goes up and down and the arms actually move and drum on the
- 39:02drum. Incredible.
- 39:04And it plays The Nutcracker. It sure does.
- 39:08So listen. I love him so.
- 39:14I've never seen a music box that actually has a working wooden
- 39:18Nutcracker on top, so I had to buy it.
- 39:20Had to. All right, so he's got to go.
- 39:22Now look at him go oh, he's awesome.
- 39:25He's got to go live in the other room now because he's too wound
- 39:27up. Abby's favorite?
- 39:29I think because it has. I don't know what it.
- 39:32Is 1 Nutcracker working on a little Nutcracker?
- 39:36He's a Nutcracker maker. He is, so it's a little toymaker
- 39:39Nutcracker and he has glasses blocks and stuff on his.
- 39:45I don't know if his mouth is going to.
- 39:46Be open now because he's got, he's got a little table and
- 39:48he's, he's painting. His mouth does open.
- 39:51It is his. Mouth.
- 39:52We did have to check that. That was a big.
- 39:54Thing Oh, that's a requirement, yes.
- 39:56He's painting a little tiny, yeah.
- 39:57Painting a little tiny Nutcracker.
- 40:00I was really upset that the tiny nutcracker's mouth didn't open.
- 40:03But he's not done with him yet. No, it's painted.
- 40:06It's good. He's painted.
- 40:07No, he's not done yet. So.
- 40:10It could happen. There's that one.
- 40:13I'd have 3/4. Just four more she wants to
- 40:15show. Oh my God.
- 40:16OK. There are more, we think in the
- 40:18box. There are way more.
- 40:19There's a lot more. I like this one.
- 40:21This one is a little. Of Germany.
- 40:23German leader Hosen. He's holding a beer and a pride
- 40:28song. He's playing leader Hosen on.
- 40:31Octoberfest. The Octoberfest hat.
- 40:33He's amazing. Did we tell the story about my
- 40:35brother Dan at in the Leader Hose pod?
- 40:39Yeah. We have two small ones.
- 40:41Look at the So we have the tiny Nutcracker with all of the toys
- 40:45in the chest. Is I was gonna say, is he like
- 40:47trying to sell? He's trying to sell him.
- 40:50He also works. He's a little loose on his base
- 40:53and he's older and then this was a little guy, but this one does
- 40:56not have a working mouth, which is a little.
- 40:58Upset. Oh my God.
- 40:59Stupid because he's supposed to be a place card holder so he
- 41:02needs to. Go right in the trash.
- 41:03He is wooden though, which made it and.
- 41:06He's got like a riot. He's got a rifle.
- 41:08Yeah, it's a rifle. He's got a gun.
- 41:10But like, he's got a sheriff. Look at his, look at his snazzy
- 41:13red leg leg. He's swearing.
- 41:14Yeah. So there's.
- 41:16That I can't believe you have one in your collection that the
- 41:18mouth doesn't move. I have.
- 41:21I have some that break my rules, Ashley said on my face.
- 41:24Ashley said she wanted to do a little fireplace today because
- 41:28it's nice and cool outside and we'll have the mantle and I'm
- 41:31like, that guy's going. Straight in.
- 41:34So this is. My black gnome.
- 41:38Yes, yeah. So.
- 41:40This is a gnome Nutcracker. His mouth does not move.
- 41:44Unfortunately, it's in his stomach.
- 41:46Guess what straightened the? Fire, but I think Sam does Sam
- 41:49get. You.
- 41:51No, no, this one I picked up I think with another gnome I
- 41:54wanted to and culturism is important.
- 41:56Yeah. It's looking very white and I'm
- 41:58trying to like break it up a little bit and add some
- 42:01diversity. It's a Little Drummer gnome, so
- 42:03whenever I find. That.
- 42:04Color. Yeah.
- 42:06So when I'm trying to like find ones that are different colors
- 42:09and whatnot, like I'll pick them up.
- 42:11Your first one looks very kind of rushing to me.
- 42:15And then that was, those are the ones that I really like, but I
- 42:18can pull out some of the big, big.
- 42:20Ones, can you hold the French one, the French 1?
- 42:24He looks like the German one, but he's French.
- 42:26Yes, he might be Italian meanwhile.
- 42:30I mean the the original wooden Nutcracker nose.
- 42:33Oh my God, there's there's. On what's a condition?
- 42:36No, but the pirates, my favorite, my face, we have.
- 42:38Glue. It's OK, we can fix it.
- 42:39Another Little drummer. The original Nutcracker Dial did
- 42:42originate from Germany. Saint Patrick's Day one he's.
- 42:45Italian or is he French? He's Italian.
- 42:48He's a gondolier. OK, but you can understand where
- 42:50I he's a. Gondolier.
- 42:52And he well, he works too. Yeah, this little Italian little
- 42:55squat. Italian gondolier.
- 42:57My God. And the Saint Patrick's Day one
- 42:58holding the rainbows. Because that day is coming up A.
- 43:00Little leprechaun, Yes, I always get Saint Patrick's Day in Saint
- 43:02Nicolas. They mix up.
- 43:04Not that I not the actual days, but like I always for some
- 43:08reason, I call Saint Nicholas a Saint Patrick's Day like every
- 43:10time. So it's kind of a running joke
- 43:11now. Woo.
- 43:12Look at him all in his sequins. This.
- 43:14One he's. Fancy one.
- 43:16I purchased this before I knew the rules.
- 43:18He's at the wall. He's a skeleton.
- 43:20He has, he's just so I have the mantle, the.
- 43:26Snow blows. Oh no, I love this one.
- 43:30Yes, we have a Yeti and a Unicorn.
- 43:33These. Two also.
- 43:34Kind of break my rules. But now the Yeti is fine, that's
- 43:38his mouth. But the the Unicorn absolutely
- 43:41breaks the rules. But he's fabulous, so why
- 43:43wouldn't you? That's why they're allowed to
- 43:46stay on the mantle. There's a few there.
- 43:48Have been some I have given away.
- 43:49A few. We will allow people that,
- 43:51certainly. They have disappeared.
- 43:53It happens. Snoopy other thing is the
- 43:56longest running balloon in Thanksgiving Day parade.
- 43:58These. That's what homie said.
- 43:59Yeah, yeah, I trust her with my life.
- 44:01I would, yes, I trust. Her now this one actually plays
- 44:04in this one is allowed on the mantle.
- 44:06OK, we have a nut. I found him also at the flea
- 44:11market, I think a Nutcracker in a snow globe.
- 44:15No, I got it for you because you get the snow globes.
- 44:18So here's here's Abby gets a snow globe every year for
- 44:20Christmas because a tiny little one, just the tiny ones.
- 44:25We don't I don't get her big ones.
- 44:26I don't have space for the big ones, right, right.
- 44:28So the reason she gets a tiny snow globe every year is because
- 44:32one year. Yep.
- 44:34Years ago, you guys were little. Not like little itty bitty, but
- 44:38young. I could tell you the year
- 44:40wouldn't as I find the snow globe.
- 44:41Oh, it doesn't have the year on it?
- 44:43OK, I went Black Friday shopping with Sam, I guess.
- 44:51Were you there too? Because we ended up with three.
- 44:54JC Penney was giving away a gift door Buster, if you will.
- 44:58If you it was Sam Mayer. No, that was no, because that
- 45:01was that was later. That was later.
- 45:04We I think you were there. I think it was you and Sam.
- 45:07And. And because Liv would have been
- 45:08too young and oh, look at him in his game.
- 45:11Sorry. And the door Buster was a tiny
- 45:14snow globe with Mickey Mouse in it.
- 45:16They just. Gave him away.
- 45:17They gave him away the first however many people that got
- 45:19walked in the door got the snow globe.
- 45:22OK. And so your your sister
- 45:26thinking, you know, to get you thinking it would be funny, it
- 45:30was to wrap up the snow globe and give it to you for Christmas
- 45:33that you already knew about. OK.
- 45:35And so she wraps it up and gives it to you and we, no, listen, we
- 45:40have three of these. We have three of these, OK.
- 45:43And I think she wrapped them all up individually and you opened
- 45:45up all three of them. And so for about, I think three
- 45:50years in a row, she went and got because you're like, ha ha, very
- 45:53funny, very funny. And then she went and got them,
- 45:56she kept them and then she wrapped them up again.
- 45:59And like I think three years in a row she kept wrapping them up
- 46:02and giving them two. And finally you were like, never
- 46:06again. I'm keeping yes.
- 46:08I did. I'm so ha ha.
- 46:10Whatever. You can have them back, you can
- 46:12put them with the rest of your stuff.
- 46:14But then Sam would go get them. Back.
- 46:17Fuck you, I'm taking it off. So she kept I think you kept one
- 46:20of them in one. I'll tell you what you there it
- 46:21is 2000 fucking 13/20/13. So you would have been in high
- 46:25school? No, I would not have.
- 46:26I would have been in college. 2013 you already graduated.
- 46:30From if, if it was Christmas 2013, yeah, I would have
- 46:33graduated and been in college. Your first year of college,
- 46:36you're right, no. Second, because it would have
- 46:38been the fall of 2013, 2013, 2014, school year.
- 46:42I graduated in May of 2012. So you're right.
- 46:45Holy shit, I thought you were younger than that.
- 46:47It doesn't matter. Finally you.
- 46:50You kept this one. And I think I had one and I.
- 46:53Kept it as I kept. Because I I think I think 2 got
- 46:57broken. Or something somehow.
- 46:58I know. That's what happened to me.
- 47:00I had them. So I had them all.
- 47:02Yeah. And then there was the great
- 47:03snow globe catastrophe. Well, since you kept them every
- 47:06year since she kept it, I went and found a tiny snow globe to
- 47:11give her the next year. So then it just I, every year
- 47:14escalated, I gave her a tiny snow globe to continue the joke.
- 47:18And so she kept them, of course. Right now, then, when we moved
- 47:22houses, when we moved here in 2019, maybe it was. 20.
- 47:27Yeah, that's we had our 2019 Christmas and all this Christmas
- 47:32snow globes were up that you give me over the years and I put
- 47:34them in a box and they were robbed.
- 47:36Yeah, yeah. And then and we lost.
- 47:38Almost. All of them they you.
- 47:39I remember she called me and the she opened the box and the
- 47:44majority of them were shattered. Yeah.
- 47:46Because it had gotten so cool. They must have frozen.
- 47:48I didn't really. I just wasn't smart about I
- 47:50well, we they were wrapped up. And so I thought that they were
- 47:52insulated enough. Yeah.
- 47:54Lord helpers. She's just not that bright.
- 47:56But. But so we put the message out
- 48:02because they we, like Abby, lost her entire collection except for
- 48:05maybe one or two. Like I said, I think this Mickey
- 48:09Mouse, I don't know what the fuck this glass is made out of
- 48:11that mother fucker. Yeah, the original 1 survived
- 48:15and I think you lost. Two of the other.
- 48:18Mickey Mouse's like that and everything else.
- 48:20Because, well, two of them survived the cold.
- 48:23I don't know how, I don't know. How?
- 48:24And then so I moved them inside and I put them in the box that
- 48:28was in there. Now they stay inside.
- 48:29And well, no, no. And the one I was pulling it
- 48:32down, I didn't realize it had been put on top of the box.
- 48:35I pulled the box down and it one falls smacks.
- 48:38That's me right in the fucking face.
- 48:39So we got in one last. Fucking head shot and then it
- 48:43hit the floor and shattered. So we're down to one last
- 48:47original Mickey snowball, original Mickey.
- 48:49And then of course, I've continued to give her one every
- 48:51year for Christmas. And last year, a year ago, yeah,
- 48:55JC Penney puts out the door. Buster is a tiny snow globe.
- 49:01And we were like, I'm like, Oh my God, I must be.
- 49:04I had to be in line at like 5 AMI.
- 49:06Know hey, shout out my whatever the opposite of beef is shout
- 49:10out to Taylor Swift. Thanks for not putting out
- 49:13anything that I needed to be in line and staying in the fucking
- 49:15cold for for Black Friday again because I was.
- 49:19It was fucking Nipley out last year.
- 49:22It was. It was because Mayor and I are
- 49:25in line at Pennies at 5:00 AM. The reason is off.
- 49:28Yeah. And.
- 49:30I stood outside the target. For hours you did.
- 49:33That was crazy. Alone in the dark.
- 49:37Yeah, it's true. But last year's snow globe was
- 49:43from the movie Elf, and it was another freebie from from JC
- 49:48Penney. Oh, and then we there's the
- 49:49Parthenon one. We got it.
- 49:51We got her a Parthenon snow globe.
- 49:52It's a little bit bigger than your other ones.
- 49:53Yeah, but it's very cool. And she has this one from Casey,
- 49:56IL with the biggest rocking good old Casey the world.
- 49:59That is the last surviving Mickey.
- 50:01This is the one that you got last year.
- 50:03I'm. I'm unwrapping these things
- 50:05under the Table 1 so that you don't see that everyone's a
- 50:08surprise. And two, the rustling.
- 50:10The rustling is not picked up by the microphone.
- 50:15Bro she hates the sound of Styrofoam and this one is in a
- 50:18box with Styrofoam say. It ain't so eww.
- 50:26And there it is. And there he is, last year's
- 50:30elf. There is one other snow globe
- 50:33that I own. She is on the mantle.
- 50:36It's the lover snow globe. Oh, it's the don't leave it.
- 50:39You can leave it there as. Yeah, leave it.
- 50:42She doesn't have a wind up. You just turn the switch on and
- 50:44then she plays the song Lover. It's the Tay Tay Lover.
- 50:48It is beautiful. OK, let me let me check over
- 50:51this real quick. OK.
- 50:52Oh, to those of you getting a Christmas card, because I know
- 50:55that you're like clambering at the bit.
- 50:57I've got friends asking already what you're topping at the bit.
- 50:59That's. What are the Wilhelms?
- 50:59Doing what are the Wilhelms this year?
- 51:01When are you guys doing the photo?
- 51:03When should I'm expecting a Christmas card?
- 51:04I've listened you to those of you who asked me at the card.
- 51:09This is not me. I'm not complaining.
- 51:11Keep those questions coming because that makes me feel
- 51:14validated. When we're doing the card and
- 51:17we're all killing each other, it inspires us to to keep doing it.
- 51:21And this is feel like it's worth it.
- 51:22This is who we're doing it for. Because I'm glad that you guys
- 51:25that the people who get it that ask me about it.
- 51:28I'm genuinely so glad that everybody enjoys us as much as
- 51:31they do and I enjoy it as well. Most years we have a lot of fun
- 51:37putting it together. We really do.
- 51:38A couple years. Some years are better than
- 51:41others, and things go better than they they.
- 51:44Some years doesn't go so great and that's fine.
- 51:47Last year we did a not so silent night with the Wilhelms and it
- 51:51was very smooth because everybody was wearing black
- 51:53instrument. Easy click, click, click, done.
- 51:55We had a lot of fun with that one.
- 51:57That was really it was the production of.
- 51:58It was very fun. Yes, this year was still very
- 52:02fun. There's a lot more moving
- 52:03pieces. It was, but it was a little more
- 52:06more complicated. Well, do you see what I did that
- 52:08that's what we did. Yeah.
- 52:09OK, OK, so, but those of you who are expecting the card know that
- 52:13we have taken the photo. We took the photo Friday took
- 52:17photos. I edited it.
- 52:19Well, right. We took all of the photos of
- 52:20everybody Friday. I edited everything.
- 52:23Like I put the card together, Ashley edited the photos, so she
- 52:27gave the photos. I put it in the card, sent it to
- 52:30you, get it printed in hand. You were dropping them off
- 52:33today. That's why you're here.
- 52:33Just picked them up and brought them over and they are a hoot.
- 52:36They are. I love them, I love them, I love
- 52:39them. So again, it's going to be a
- 52:41good one because there was more going on.
- 52:44It was a little bit more of a stressful production.
- 52:46Also my SD card is full on my camera.
- 52:49This We have to get this cleared off before next Christmas we're
- 52:51going to have. To delete those photos.
- 52:53Get them onto a flash drive or something, you know what I mean?
- 52:55100%, yeah, 100%. So we should we?
- 53:02Should we give them a clue what our what our themes this year I.
- 53:07Don't know if they need a. Clue.
- 53:07No, Probably not. Well, no clues.
- 53:09No clues. You and I'll tell you this, OK,
- 53:11We had to wrap something like not wrapping like a present.
- 53:15We were wrapping stuff Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 53:16OK you know, because we had to do a thing I took a picture.
- 53:19I. Took a picture of the fail
- 53:20because I was going to post Oh, you should have a picture of I
- 53:23did. How many Wilms does it take to
- 53:25make this item? And then it failed and I and I'm
- 53:28taking the picture and you're all just laughing at stare.
- 53:31Yes, because it was a massive. Well, and so I was like, I'm
- 53:34going to hold this, Ashley, you hold this.
- 53:37Sam grabs the part of it, and then I go, OK, now, Ashley, you
- 53:40just rap, OK? And so there is like a long
- 53:43pause. Ashley is wrapping this thing.
- 53:45And there's like this long pause.
- 53:46And then me and Sam lock eyes and I start going in.
- 53:49West Philadelphia, actually. You just rap.
- 53:56There was a long cause that Sam and I and even Dad all kind of
- 54:00locked eyes and we knew the joke, but we had to know which
- 54:04one of us is going to be brave enough to try to rap.
- 54:08Exactly. That's exactly the thing, these
- 54:10four very white people, right? So we all looked.
- 54:12Around like, are you going to do the joke?
- 54:14Who's? Doing.
- 54:15It but first Prince of Bel Air. I keep that locked and loaded
- 54:18just in case. You got to.
- 54:20Be ready, you got to be. Ready.
- 54:22You got to be ready. Oh my God.
- 54:24That's now let me show you real quick some of these snow globes.
- 54:26Now listener, I'm not going to post pictures of these
- 54:29individuals. Maybe you could do this one
- 54:30individual. Of course, Nikki, they'll be on
- 54:34the mantle photo that we post of all the nutcrackers.
- 54:36But let me show you, Anna. OK, so, Anna, very sad.
- 54:40There were two casualties that I couldn't I couldn't bring myself
- 54:43to get rid of. So I did what I could, but broke
- 54:45off most of the glass. Oh, OK.
- 54:46And kept the thing. So the globe.
- 54:48Glass broke, but you kept the. This one's New Orleans.
- 54:51Sam must have brought that to you.
- 54:52From New Orleans, Aunt, mayor, Aunt, mayor.
- 54:54Brought You're right. Her.
- 54:55She. Had to go down now so this one
- 54:56just be careful yeah. This one was the other casualty
- 54:59that is this the one from Vegas Vegas mayor and I were out in
- 55:02Vegas and we and I saw that one Oh my God.
- 55:04I got to get her one from Vegas. Look at this.
- 55:05It comes out there you go, FY, if you ever wanted know what it
- 55:08looks like and look at the little 7.
- 55:11It's a little cursive tree in it.
- 55:13And the horseshoes and the candy canes and the little poker chips
- 55:16with the Vegas sign on the Christmas tree.
- 55:18And then and you can see I cleared the glass out.
- 55:20This one's completely. Yeah.
- 55:21I was so excited to get the Vegas.
- 55:23I literally was devastated. I bet.
- 55:25I bet because this is like I said, Oh my God, This could be
- 55:27fun in the Great Freeze. We could get her ones from
- 55:29different places. Yes.
- 55:32So you've seen. The.
- 55:35Possum, So we do have the Parthenon.
- 55:37This is the smallest one they had.
- 55:38We had it's a little bit bigger. It is, but that's OK because
- 55:41he's still smaller than Casey. There's Rudolph.
- 55:45OK, I showed you this one. I think my mother-in-law got me
- 55:47this one. And he lights up with a little
- 55:49Penguin. Penguin it is.
- 55:51Now I will say that my favorite ones, my favorite snow globes
- 55:55now that I'm a bit of a connoisseur having all of these
- 55:57tiny ones. OK, is that I like it when
- 56:00there's actually a thing inside of it.
- 56:02That's just a little picture. It is.
- 56:04It's a flat. Well, it's a flat thing.
- 56:06No, it's cute. I the fact that he lights up
- 56:08means that he's he's a step above he is, but I do like the
- 56:12three DI do prefer a three DI agree right.
- 56:16We got Snoopy here. Yep, joy.
- 56:19I got him from the hobby. Lobby Woodstock.
- 56:21We got this one when Grandpa was in the hospital and the memorial
- 56:25was doing like a sale, like a yard sale.
- 56:28Memorial Hospitals have a clearance.
- 56:30Like, but it was all holiday shit 'cause they were trying to
- 56:33get all their holiday shit out. Well, for some reason they had a
- 56:364th of July snow globe. They did.
- 56:38Now the battery, no batteries in here.
- 56:41So it doesn't, but he would. And we were like, holy shit, a
- 56:44fourth. You don't have a 4th of July.
- 56:46So no, I don't how to how to get it.
- 56:48So now it's like ice stripes are big and bright deep in the heart
- 56:53Texas. This makes me think of what is
- 56:57the movie where the girl that we we love her.
- 57:01She's got that she's tall, she's got that great voice.
- 57:06She's in Legally Blonde. The hairdresser lady of the Oh
- 57:10my God, Jennifer Colton. She's oh it looks like the 4th
- 57:13of July real bad. This one makes you think of
- 57:18Jennifer Coolidge. That's so true as I couldn't
- 57:21remember her name. Jennifer.
- 57:22Coolidge And then this is the other one that I had that loads
- 57:24up. It's.
- 57:25The candle. Love this one.
- 57:26My mother-in-law got me that one too.
- 57:28Oh. I thought I got you this one.
- 57:29No, no, the ones that lit up that one and then the Penguin
- 57:32were together. I remember because we were both
- 57:34at the at home and we saw them and I was like, because I was
- 57:37devastated. There's a little switch
- 57:38underneath. I'm trying to, I was, I was
- 57:40devastated at the loss of the of the things.
- 57:43And that's where she was there. She kind of went behind.
- 57:46Got you. OK.
- 57:47I was looking at them. That's the two.
- 57:48I love that one that lights up that little.
- 57:50It's a little candle on a little candle holder.
- 57:52It's very cute. Now that, ironically, the part
- 57:55of the candle that would light up doesn't light up.
- 57:57It's the actual candle, but that's OK.
- 58:00We'll give it a pass. I like it, though.
- 58:02This one you did get me for me. I got you a Gryffindor and
- 58:06Ashley got 1. Ashley.
- 58:07Yeah. Hagrid, it was.
- 58:09These were like a blind box. Yes.
- 58:11And you just opened it up and? I want you to know.
- 58:13Ashley Now this one was a blind box, this one I saw and I got
- 58:16Gryffindor. Ashley might be upset if I tell
- 58:19you this, but she that she opened that up and cried because
- 58:24she's because the guy, he had just passed away, the man who
- 58:30played that and it was a blind box.
- 58:31I for some reason we didn't open the blind box till we got home.
- 58:34Maybe it was just in the Saint Nicholas.
- 58:35Thing I don't remember. But she was at home and she
- 58:38opens it up and she goes. Oh.
- 58:43Which makes it even better this one.
- 58:46Oh, a dollar, a dollar, a dollar.
- 58:48Yeah, at the made-up. You think I'm going to spend
- 58:52more than a dollar? Look at the gnome.
- 58:54Oh he he probably was from DG. He's a little gnome of the
- 58:57Christmas tree. But I look, look at the
- 58:59craftsmanship. It's the little base.
- 59:02The base is excellent, yes. Now look at this guy Little
- 59:05Santa on. The track because one one year
- 59:08at your grandma and grandpa all Santa kid drove by on a trash
- 59:11tractor and we were like the first Christmas she ever spend
- 59:15with us. Not not our first Christmas
- 59:18together. It's he goes by and ash was
- 59:20like, well, you know what happened?
- 59:23Somebody said something about somebody was outside.
- 59:24The kids were like outside or something and they came in and
- 59:26they said Santa's here. And Sherry goes and opens the
- 59:29front door and hears Santa on a tracker and Sherry goes, oh holy
- 59:32shit. And then shut the door and we're
- 59:36like what? And so we'll all go over there
- 59:39and when he comes, he comes up to the dog because.
- 59:41Like, Christmas Eve was on like a Saturday that year, and so
- 59:45everybody was off. So we were over there a lot
- 59:47earlier than normally We would go over at like around dinner
- 59:49time and Santa was making the rounds on the tractor.
- 59:51Yeah, We were like, holy shit. Literally.
- 59:55Holy shit. That was not normal.
- 59:58This is our first experience with Santa on a.
- 59:59Track and our last. Yep.
- 1:00:00And so we found this little. Dude on a tractor, she was like,
- 1:00:03does that happen every year? And I go, oh Ashley, I swear to
- 1:00:06God. This has never.
- 1:00:08Happened before. She didn't believe me at first.
- 1:00:11She was like, yeah, OK, yeah. Y'all y'all live in a farming
- 1:00:14community? Sure sure.
- 1:00:16This never. Happened.
- 1:00:16Well, it's like, it's like, oh, what are the odds that the first
- 1:00:20time Ashley's there with us for Christmas, Yeah, Santa fucking
- 1:00:23comes. Like what are the fucking?
- 1:00:24Odds on a on a tractor on a. Tractor.
- 1:00:26OK, here's another one. This is a little like a little
- 1:00:28French bulldog or a dog. Whenever I find one that's
- 1:00:31really unusual, I'm so excited and I cannot wait.
- 1:00:34I think this is. Yeah.
- 1:00:35Little Olaf. Little Olaf.
- 1:00:37He was cute. Somebody found an Olaf.
- 1:00:38This one was definitely for Ashley Chewbacca.
- 1:00:42This was definitely for Ash little Chewbacca.
- 1:00:45We're in the homestretch now. OK, OK.
- 1:00:47This. I loved this one.
- 1:00:51I know you got me this one. I'm choking a little bit.
- 1:00:53I don't know if. You I'm choking out.
- 1:00:56I'm I'm wait, wait. I'm getting you.
- 1:00:57I'm getting for clumped. I'll give you a time.
- 1:00:58I'm sorry. Chickpeas limped.
- 1:01:00Chickpeas are neither a chick nor a pee.
- 1:01:02The base nor a pee Disgust. Disgust this one Isabelle has
- 1:01:12the base. Laughing about the chickpea.
- 1:01:16But you know who? Who did that?
- 1:01:18Who said that Michael Myers played this like Jewish lady on
- 1:01:21SNL? I'm getting over clipped.
- 1:01:23I'm giving you a topic. The bass is a bell.
- 1:01:27It's a little. Truck.
- 1:01:28It's Santa. It's Santa.
- 1:01:30Well, actually, he's in the truck hauling packages.
- 1:01:32Packages. He's got a package.
- 1:01:33I've got a package that also makes me think of.
- 1:01:35Jennifer Coolidge. Exactly.
- 1:01:39All of every single every single snow globe reminds me of
- 1:01:43Jennifer Coolidge. For now.
- 1:01:45For now on. For now on if I can remember her
- 1:01:47name. It's a Elmo.
- 1:01:51It might be a llama, I don't know.
- 1:01:54Because there was a funny, there was a funny experience that we
- 1:01:57had about llamas. Llamas.
- 1:01:58We were driving past this farm and they had llamas.
- 1:02:02They've had the orelpa, I don't know if the llamas.
- 1:02:04We assumed they were llamas, but we could be wrong.
- 1:02:06But one of you was singing the song about what?
- 1:02:11Tigers. Something about what tigers do,
- 1:02:13What do tigers do? And they take a little snooze,
- 1:02:16some little thing. What do tigers dream of?
- 1:02:19When they take a little tigers snooze and right then we passed
- 1:02:23the farm and I saw the llamas for the first time and I go
- 1:02:25llamas. Oh, that's from The Hangover.
- 1:02:29That's a real Oh, I just pulled those lyrics out of my house.
- 1:02:33You did and so we saw this and I was like oh love us.
- 1:02:36I had to get him cuz we laughed. And laughed and then this one
- 1:02:39was the is not most recent, but I had to say for a last.
- 1:02:43Look. Oh yes, found this.
- 1:02:45Found this little dude at the flea market as well.
- 1:02:48Look at his tail. Look at he's excellent.
- 1:02:50He's got a tiny little tail in there.
- 1:02:51It's kind of a traditional older Mickey inside the snow globe
- 1:02:55that is shaped like his head and the base is like his body in his
- 1:02:59little yellow. Shoes, but he's got a tiny
- 1:03:01little tail inside of. That he does have a tiny little
- 1:03:03tail. I see it.
- 1:03:03And this was so freaking cute. And we were like, we go back to
- 1:03:06our roots, we go back to Mickey. We gotta get this little guy.
- 1:03:09Found him at the flea market, too.
- 1:03:11Yeah, you get some fines there. I'll tell you what.
- 1:03:13I'll be honest, I'm like. Looking over the thing, the
- 1:03:15Nutcrackers, the Christmas card, how many did you order in total?
- 1:03:18This 100 and 2000 and 20. Somebody asked me.
- 1:03:22Somebody asked me, how many cars do you guys order?
- 1:03:24And I go, it's over 100 because we have so many people that want
- 1:03:30them. Here's as soon as you give
- 1:03:31somebody one, you've you'll give them one forever because they
- 1:03:37will ask you about it, right? So even people who it's like,
- 1:03:41oh, I gave you this call, like people who I gave, I would send
- 1:03:44a card to. And then it's like, maybe we've
- 1:03:46fallen out of touch. You know we're still.
- 1:03:48Friends. Oh, you don't work with?
- 1:03:49Them anymore or I don't work with them, so I don't talk to
- 1:03:51them as much or whatever. It's like, what are you doing
- 1:03:55for the Christmas card? Well, I got I had to send those
- 1:03:57people a card for the rest of my life forever.
- 1:04:00We got together a couple weekends ago with friends and
- 1:04:03our one friend asked what are the will homes doing this year?
- 1:04:06And I'm like, we're working on it.
- 1:04:07We have an idea. We do, and so we we're.
- 1:04:10Actually on top of it this year. Some of us were like.
- 1:04:13If three days were Christmas, we're still putting it together.
- 1:04:16But this year we did good. We were.
- 1:04:17We were. If you're waiting on a card from
- 1:04:19us, if you're waiting on a card from us, know that that you'll
- 1:04:21probably get them out we're. Going to get them out.
- 1:04:23This weekend in a week, you know, with when you're listening
- 1:04:25to this podcast, there's a good chance you might have your card.
- 1:04:30Maybe if you if you listen to this in January, it's.
- 1:04:32True. Or if you're one of the people
- 1:04:34that I'm going to see and I'm going to hand my card on Monday,
- 1:04:39if you listen to the podcast, I'll have to tell them to
- 1:04:40listen. You want my hand to be like, are
- 1:04:42we talking about this in the podcast?
- 1:04:44Well, I don't know. Maybe we shouldn't tell them to
- 1:04:46listen, but who knows? So true.
- 1:04:48You might hate doing this. This might not be very
- 1:04:52entertaining. Let's listen first.
- 1:04:53Let's hold back. Back.
- 1:04:56Yeah. I made the mistake of giving my
- 1:04:57boss, you know. You know, you give your boss a
- 1:04:59little gift or whatever in one of the cards, and then he showed
- 1:05:01it to, like, everybody. Yeah, don't you hate that?
- 1:05:05And everybody's offended that I didn't give them.
- 1:05:09So now I have to give everybody right with.
- 1:05:11The company was like, OK, I'm going to get this is like, I
- 1:05:14think last year, maybe two years ago, I was like, OK, I'm going
- 1:05:17to give just the people on my team.
- 1:05:20Yeah, cards. So I had three boom, boom, boom,
- 1:05:22here you go. And then they show everybody.
- 1:05:25And then I was like, oh shit, you know, Listener Mandy, I
- 1:05:28don't have a card. Right?
- 1:05:30Right. Because because here's the
- 1:05:31thing, it's really easy to go out to a lunch with your team
- 1:05:34and boom, boom, boom, here's the cards, right?
- 1:05:37And and that's fine and like, but as soon as it's like I am
- 1:05:44got to give it to everybody, there's no way for me to give,
- 1:05:49you know, say listener Mandy a card subtly, we're nobody's
- 1:05:52going to see it. No, I can't now because we're at
- 1:05:54we've moved. We've moved to a thing different
- 1:05:58location, but when I was work from home I had to come in in
- 1:06:00front of everybody. Yeah.
- 1:06:03So like, you see my cards, everybody, every single person,
- 1:06:06all the tellers would be like, where are my cards?
- 1:06:08I'm like, shit. So no, I, it was, it was always
- 1:06:12a thing. But listen, I if you got a card
- 1:06:15from us last year, you're getting another one.
- 1:06:18If you didn't get a card from this last year and you asked me
- 1:06:20this year, how's the card going? Know that you've been added to
- 1:06:24the list. Know that you're getting a card,
- 1:06:27OK. And if you don't receive a card
- 1:06:29from us, message me and find out if if it lost the mail and if I
- 1:06:34didn't send you one, I will say yes it got lost in the mail and
- 1:06:36I will. Send you or you might be on her
- 1:06:38list with a double underline, I don't know.
- 1:06:40I have a different list people to harass, so if you've made the
- 1:06:44list, my list has changed. I don't remember if I told you
- 1:06:48this, that I changed the list to people I'm disappointed in, and
- 1:06:51now I have a second list that's people who could never
- 1:06:53disappoint me. And they have an asterisk next
- 1:06:55to a few of those people that says we'll harass anyway.
- 1:06:59So I got I've got 2 lists now. OK, but I so I'm going to harass
- 1:07:03some people, but they'll always be getting Christmas cards.
- 1:07:05So I think it'll all it'll. It'll workout.
- 1:07:07I'll come out and watch, right? We watched, OK, the two things I
- 1:07:12have to tell you, OK, we watched the dog show, the national dog
- 1:07:16show competition, it comes. On right after.
- 1:07:18The free and it's the perfect, perfect time because would I go
- 1:07:21out of my way to watch that? No.
- 1:07:23No, but these all the fun here. Come on.
- 1:07:25These dogs, will I leave it on? And they're beautiful.
- 1:07:27When the bright ends, absolutely, of course.
- 1:07:30And we watched, we watched the at the beginning, OK, we watched
- 1:07:35the the working dogs competition.
- 1:07:39Here comes herding the. Herding dogs.
- 1:07:41It was the second class that came out, yes.
- 1:07:43Here comes the herding dogs. Boom, fucking Belgian sheepdog.
- 1:07:47Now, if you don't know what a Belgian sheepdog looks like,
- 1:07:50it's black. This one was all black and it
- 1:07:53was gorgeous. Yes.
- 1:07:54Now let me tell you something. The Belgian sheepdog looks like
- 1:07:58a. German Shepherd.
- 1:08:01It does. The ears are kind of pointing
- 1:08:02like a like a German Shepherd point.
- 1:08:03A mix between a German Shepherd, yes, and like a retriever or
- 1:08:08something like that, because it's got.
- 1:08:10And a collie. The fur.
- 1:08:11How furry? It looks like a collie a little
- 1:08:13bit. Like a German shepherd and a
- 1:08:14collie mixed together is a Belgian sheepdog, but the one
- 1:08:17that was in there was all black and it looked like Dipper.
- 1:08:20If Dipper had pointy ears like that, it did.
- 1:08:22And reminded us to Dipper right away.
- 1:08:24Cut to us on our new couches. Very exciting.
- 1:08:27Ash and I are sitting and Dipper's sitting between us,
- 1:08:30head on Ashley's lap because he hates me and Ashley's petting
- 1:08:34him and I'm scratching his little butt and I was like, I'm
- 1:08:37like Dipper, that dog looks just like you, like oh you're so
- 1:08:41handsome, that fucking dog won, won, won the whole.
- 1:08:45He won his class and then went on to win the entire best in the
- 1:08:50whole fucking. And I noticed the same thing is
- 1:08:52funny because it comes on right after 2.
- 1:08:54So I'm watching it and I'm like, oh, look at this beautiful dog.
- 1:08:57And immediately was like, that reminds me of dip because it's
- 1:09:00all black and floofy and, you know, beautiful.
- 1:09:02Yes. Gorgeous.
- 1:09:03Yep. And then I couldn't watch the
- 1:09:04whole show because we had to get ready to come over here and, you
- 1:09:07know, I was making food and blah, blah, blah.
- 1:09:08And so I had to look it up later to find out who won.
- 1:09:10And I was like, oh, it was. It was my favorite.
- 1:09:13Yeah. Listen to this.
- 1:09:14I think it was a girl. I think she's.
- 1:09:15It was a girl, Yeah. Soleil SOLEI L I'm struggling.
- 1:09:21You know, you are really struggling.
- 1:09:22Right there, Soleil, like Cirque de Soleil.
- 1:09:25Gotcha. Okay, a Belgian sheepdog Juan
- 1:09:28Beston show at the 2025 National Dog Show.
- 1:09:30Now here's the thing. A six year old Belgian sheepdog
- 1:09:34from North Carolina, she won against the winners of the other
- 1:09:39six groups, which included an American foxhound, an English
- 1:09:42setter, A Bijan Frise, a giant schnauzer and a a Shih Tzu and a
- 1:09:46miniature schnauzer. OK.
- 1:09:48Were were the best in shows of their groups, but the judge
- 1:09:52called Soleil gorgeous and noted that she was on.
- 1:09:55She was on her game. On and quote didn't miss a beat.
- 1:10:00Didn't. No.
- 1:10:01She was fantastic. Prize.
- 1:10:03The win earned her 2 grand, a pure in a probe play, an
- 1:10:07embroidered chair and a Yeti Dog Bowl significance way for it.
- 1:10:13Good for her. So Lay's win was considered an
- 1:10:15upset as she was a relatively new competitor with just over a
- 1:10:18year of experience. Look at her girl.
- 1:10:20Click here to watch the highlights of the 2025 dog show
- 1:10:22that's. OK, she, I thought she was
- 1:10:25phenomenal. And I was like, she was.
- 1:10:26And they were like in, in her class, in the herding class,
- 1:10:30there were some really beautiful dogs.
- 1:10:32And for the top whatever, 4, we're all girls.
- 1:10:36And they're like, oh, look at this, all girls this time.
- 1:10:40I guess I don't know if there's not many the girls don't win
- 1:10:42that often or what. But normally it's a male dog.
- 1:10:45And it was all girls. They call like 6 of them over or
- 1:10:49five of them over and then they, they call out the top 4 from
- 1:10:51there. And it was all girls.
- 1:10:53And I was like, all right, you go, you girls go awesome.
- 1:10:57They were so. It's just so pretty.
- 1:10:59Last year, a pug won. Oh, OK, they're so.
- 1:11:02Adorable won best in show and won a $20,000 prize.
- 1:11:06Now I think what? What?
- 1:11:09I like, was it a boy? That's it.
- 1:11:13Oh my God. Look at the difference in pay
- 1:11:14dates for the boys, for the girls, man, nothing changes.
- 1:11:19Nothing ever changes. Other females worse as a female
- 1:11:24can only carry. One No.
- 1:11:25But without that female, you ain't getting jacked.
- 1:11:27No, no, no, no. I think the dog.
- 1:11:31Hold on, hold on. Hold on, like, hang on a minute.
- 1:11:33That's a huge disparity in what the girl won.
- 1:11:36It's so true. I believe she won.
- 1:11:42She specifically gets 2 grand and I don't know if it's like 2
- 1:11:47grand worth of like dog food or something like.
- 1:11:49That but the owner. But they won 20 grand.
- 1:11:51The owner gets that they. Yes, they both both the Pug and
- 1:11:56the Belgian. Sheep Dong won. $20,000
- 1:12:00Everybody relax, I'm going. To have to write a strongly word
- 1:12:02to e-mail to the to the OR. Google's AI could be wrong.
- 1:12:07And you know what? That's fair.
- 1:12:08Oh, the $2000, OK, who knows, But I can't imagine the price
- 1:12:12would be different. But you know what?
- 1:12:13I wouldn't put it past them. But I have to tell you one last
- 1:12:16thing. And we're way over on time.

- 1:14:19like, and she had to set her silver down.
- 1:14:20She goes, I've never felt so cold alive.

- 1:15:01It sponsored by Diet Coke. Like what the fuck?
- 1:15:04Diet Coke isn't good. I think it's not good.
- 1:15:07It it has been proven that the artificial sweet that they use
- 1:15:11is addictive. Is addictive, yes.
- 1:15:13So it's like, yeah, there's no sugar, but it's like you're it's
