0:03
You did. You did not prepare me for savage garden. One can truly
0:09
never be prepared for savage garden. Man. That looks very you know,
0:13
because I was talking about laying with somebody forever. The way you lay together
0:18
can say a lot about your relationship. You know that. The way you
0:21
and your partner sleep in the bed. Okay, yeah, somebody put together
0:25
this list, which may or may not be taken seriously. Like number one,
0:29
they say, sleeping close together. Now, Amanda, you and Nick
0:31
you gotta sleep in the same bed. Correct, you're not sleep divorced.
0:34
No, we sleep in the same bead. Okay, well you ding ding
0:36
when I get the right one. Okay, sleeping close together? What that
0:40
says about your relationship. The closer you are in bed, the more secure
0:44
your relationship is. You feel comfortable being physically close to your partner both in
0:48
bed and that's outside of the bedroom. And also bonus points, they say
0:52
if you keep your butts touching the entire night. We used to be very
0:56
very close and then yeah we were talking, but the butts. Oh yeah,
1:00
so I used to do this thing. So I would go underneath his
1:03
arm, snuggle in real tight. God, I'd have my arm. I
1:07
always put my hand on his chest, up his shirt. It was like
1:11
this weird like going up his shirt shirt. It's my eighth grade self,
1:15
like right on his heart. My hand would be. Then I would be
1:19
there for probably three minutes. He'd always laugh at me. This is a
1:22
thing. I then flip over, push my butt out, like I don't
1:26
want to be next to you, but I'd still be touching him. Now,
1:30
we have two kids, and you know one of them, if not
1:34
both, end up in our bed just about every night. Well from the
1:37
sounds of it, at any given time, you might have as many as
1:38
six people and animals in your bed. No, no, no, maybe
1:42
that's not the official count. Number two though. They say if you're sleeping
1:45
facing away from each other, it says that independence is important to have in
1:49
your relationship. And that's to me, that's kind of how we do it,
1:53
my wife and I in our bed, I do that. My husband's
1:57
kind of a back sleeper, sprowler, but he sleeps on his way a
2:00
starfish on its back kind of yeah really, uh huh. Sometimes he'll snuggle
2:05
over to the side, but for the most part he's just he just flopping
2:07
laying there what's that The confidence of the kind? I mean, that's to
2:12
me, that says he's just totally comfortable, he's just ready to I want
2:15
to see the real Is there an actual you? Just a video? Oh?
2:21
You want me to show you what I'm imagining? Nick sleeping like no
2:23
picture of starfish flopp. I thought you had some studies over there. Now
2:27
you're just making up, just just sleeping away from each other. It's pretty
2:30
self explanatory. I don't think I need to get a die you gramm out.
2:32
That's how we sleep. And it's only because I trained myself years ago,
2:36
Amanda, to be able to sleep always facing the outside of the mattress
2:39
because of my night breath in my morning breath. And I feel like I'm
2:43
not alone in that. But I just like would hate to subject anybody to
2:46
that, you know what I mean, especially early on if you're looking to
2:49
have somebody sleep over a second time. You don't want to make the morning
2:54
I just experience at your personal Airbnb miserable. Also, now this is where
3:00
it kind of gets off the rails a little bit. What your sleeping position
3:02
says about your relationship. Your partner is spooning a third person in the bed.
3:08
I'm sorry, Well you heard that right. If they are certain couples
3:13
may or may not end up adding another body to the bed, and in
3:15
that case, your partner has his bed. Okay, So they're probably talking
3:21
about kids. Well, it's up to interpretation. So my there are all
3:25
kinds. My daughter is a huge fan of sleeping with us, and so
3:30
she is she's the mouth. Her mouth is like right up in my How
3:35
do kids have bad breath? I don't even know. Yes, yeah they
3:37
do. It's really funny because they did it like it's an old man.
3:39
Oh, it's kind of like a puppy thing, like if it's like,
3:42
oh, cute puppy breath. And then like kids, oh, you don't
3:44
have bad breath. And I'm like, seriously, like, go get your
3:47
face out of here. Do they brust their own teeth? Oh? Yeah,
3:51
see the kids. You can't trust kids to do anything when it comes
3:53
to that, you know, right, I mean yeah, at night I
3:55
go in and I'm like trying to really get those sugar bugs out of here
4:00
for them. Help they Now, do they use listerine? The kiddos?
4:02
No, I'll get them a good mouth, got a good alcohol face?
4:06
Yet for the mouthwash. They'll be swallowing it. Bike there's some kid toothpaste
4:12
and stuff too. You know, those little bodies will be blown a point
4:15
too by the time it's trending. Now here's what you need to know the
4:20
yikes. Almost a hundred people have reportedly been infected with salmonila, and of
4:25
forty five I guess have been hospitalized to deaths in Minnesota, all because of
4:29
a widespread outbreak connected to whole and cut cantelope. The CDC says that it's
4:33
affected thirty two stands. So if you have any candlope, break now,
4:38
either toss it, look at it. I yikes, yeah, thankfully.
4:42
I generally just put my candleope in the garbage. You're not a candlope guy,
4:46
you know, just those like arrangement of fruit. It's like, give
4:47
me strawberries and pineapples, hostmailon can. It's just filler. I just love
4:53
that. But when you get a good candlope that's nice and juicy and you
4:57
add a little do you have a add salt to it kind of like water?
5:00
Are you insane? Oh my gosh, so good. I don't want
5:02
to entice you to buy a candaalope right now. Because there's an issue.
5:05
But I'm just shouldn't we If it's nice and juicy, then is that an
5:10
exception? Is that a sign it doesn't have salmonella? I don't know what
5:13
to believe. Just check check your cantelopes? What are we checking for?
5:17
Well, you're I'm not gonna do you want me to go through the codes
5:20
and all this stuff there? I'm genuinely asking, how would I know that
5:25
a candalyp has salmonella? What would indicate that to me? There's gonna be
5:30
a product code and okay, I don't want to do. You to issue
5:34
the numbers so you would know it's recall f m ao is. But in
5:41
general, if they hadn't recalled it, there's nothing that would tell you that
5:44
salmonella. No, no, it's not like a pinkish hue, say salmonilla
5:49
on it. You got it open and it's like, surprise, I've got
5:54
salmonilla in here. Little flag pops up. There's a little man in there
5:57
telling them. The fact we're making light of salmonilla and catalope is frightening.
6:02
But anyway, I think we got the point across. Get rid of it.
6:08
I would just be safe and just throw it all out. Today is
6:10
Giving Tuesday, and one way to give back is through the Big ninety eight
6:13
point seven Christmas Wish Program. You know, we do it all year long.
6:15
We like to amp it up a little bit through the holidays, but
6:17
we couldn't do this without your help, the community giving back to the Christmas
6:21
Wish Program. Therefore, we're able to help families. First of all,
6:25
if you know somebody who's going through a really hard time right now, go
6:28
to Big nine eight seven dot com and nominate them for a Christmas Wish,
6:30
because we are going to be granting a lot of wishes through the holiday season.
6:33
Now, if you want to donate, you can get to our Facebook
6:36
page right now, there's a donate button. Click on that. That money
6:40
goes directly to a family that will be helping out. We don't keep a
6:43
dollar of it. If you're thinking, you know what, I want to
6:45
have a little fun, I want to see Santa Claus, and I want
6:47
to help out. We've got the PJ Party coming up on Saturday, yes,
6:50
nine to eleven at Sweet Shots, and tickets are going fast. People
6:53
are realizing that for only ten bucks you're gonna be able to a meet Santa
6:56
Claus with the whole family, get the photo take and not pay any extra
6:59
for the photo. You don't have to wear matching jammies, but it's a
7:01
pajama part I strongly encourage. Yeah. You're also gonna be able to have
7:04
a nice hot breakfast, delicious food from Sweet Shots and Cisco. And we're
7:09
gonna have golf bays open, so you know, of course Sweet Shots.
7:11
It's outdoor driving range that's heated, so you don't have to worry about that.
7:15
You can whack some golf balls. They're gonna have some fun games.
7:16
I know. I'm working right now on putting together the cute little Santa list
7:19
so that people can write what they want to give to Santa. There's gonna
7:23
be some coloring sheets. My kids are really excited, Pike, because you're
7:28
coming with a whole setup so that we can watch two d Tae and they
7:30
can have a little dance party area too. It's just gonna be a vibe.
7:33
It's gonna be hold. It's gonna be sick, as the kids might
7:35
say. Yeah, ticket's only ten bucks, but you can get them right
7:39
now. You can make your donations and you can nominate for giving Tuesday at
7:42
big ninety eight to seven dot com and I only had to talk about this
7:45
because you thought that the airlines were just Razins Pike. But almost three million
7:48
passengers were screened at American airports on Sunday, the highest number in a single
7:54
day. Well, no, I just said every before Thanksgiving they'll go they're
7:58
expecting the biggest travel year ever. It's like, well, yeah, they
8:01
say that every year, and I'm sure it is, but it's just it
8:03
just it was more of me saying I don't care. I guess so you
8:09
don't care, and I'm gonna bring it up, bring it up again.
8:11
So how big was it? Did they say? Yeah? Almost three million
8:16
passengers? That was a ton of passengers. Heck, what was last year?
8:20
Two million? All Right, I gotta calmm down, Sorry you do.
8:24
I don't know why, but actually pretty shocking. Although nine hundred flights
8:26
were delayed, only three were canceled out of Chicago, and that's usually the
8:31
hub that a lot of them are canceled out. Yeah, historically that's a
8:35
that's a tough airport. You know, even going back to the nineties when
8:37
Kevin McCalister not at their wrong airplane. Just you just never know. Be
8:45
easy to get lost there you're running through. You gotta get there. Early
8:48
eight years old, was able to board a plane, the wrong plane,
8:52
an unaccompanied niner here his family was headed to Paris, and he gets on
8:56
a plane headed straight to New York City, one of the large cities in
9:00
the world, by himself. What ended up happening? Oh, it's a
9:03
crazy story. How much time? And I think we've got all morning,
9:07
Pike. I can't wait to see how it ends. Of all the cities
9:11
in the world, you wouldn't believe the two guys he ran into. Yeah,
9:16
some familiar foes, I'll tell you that much. Wet Bandits, oh
9:20
God, aka the Sticky Bandits one of the worst crime teams. Enough with
9:24
your home alone, nonsense, all right? Weatherwise, today it's going to
9:26
be sunny, little bit of wind, height of about thirty eight right now,
9:30
though it is Chili's still like one below with the wind chill. I'm
9:33
just saying, if you're a flight attendant or you work at an airport and
9:35
you're listening, I mean, my god, just make sure you like completely
9:37
identified the boy's father before you let him on the plane, and not just
9:41
look at like you know lazily. Look at his backside. Oh yeah,
9:43
it looks like his jacket. By the way, A shout out to them,
9:46
because growing up I was an n accompanied minor. I'd go back and
9:48
forth between and they were always so good. Sometimes the flight attendant would take
9:52
me up that sounds really weird, into like a secret room area like in
9:58
Minneapolis, and they'd have like tree, some movies. Yeah. I was
10:03
never lured into that room, but it sounds like a good time. And
10:07
one other warning before we move on. I would not worry about the batteries
10:11
till you get on the airplane. That's that's it's not about. Yeah,
10:15
that's not a priority when you're running late for your flam anyway, take in
10:18
Amanda in the morning. Seven. If you were back home or wherever you
10:22
celebrated Thanksgiving, you might have some family that fits into the Generation Z category
10:28
or we're talking like teenagers early twenties totally, and you probably heard some things
10:33
that age you immediately, right when you hear a phrase or word and you're
10:35
like, I don't know what that is. You know what I mean.
10:39
It happened to me a lot because my wife Lauren has like some younger siblings
10:41
who are like seventeen and eighteen. Yeah, and they're just like prime YouTube
10:45
TikTok saying these things and they're giving us lessons. I'm like what they mean
10:48
and yeah, like I said, I felt like I was a thousand years
10:52
old. Yeah, because we've talked about some of them, like is oh
10:56
that slaps? Is that still a thing? See, you feel old when
11:00
you feel like I'm just getting too saying slaps, But that to me indicates
11:03
that it's surely it's all way way cast it. I know my niece and
11:07
nephew they go over to DGF and every time we get together and they great
11:11
school. I know, you'd be affecular school. They say things and sometimes
11:16
I'm like, are they messing with me? Like they want me? I
11:18
try to use it a word and they look at me like don't yeah,
11:20
like don't even go there. Really yeah. They for example, the youngest
11:24
one, the seventeen year old, was giving us all lessons on how to
11:26
not text like a dad, you know, saying things like just k or
11:31
okay period or just ending any text with a period. I see, I
11:35
feel like my husband and I text like a dad really yeah, sometimes back
11:41
and forth yeah or a thumbs up. Oh that was the biggest, the
11:43
biggest violator, a single thumbs up, and it gets me. It's so
11:48
annoying. It's like, geez, just slap me in the face. You
11:50
might as well. There's a new word, though, a new gen z
11:52
slang word that is taken over social media that I want to inform you about
11:56
in case you hear it and you go, huh, guy at guy out
12:00
guy. First of all, are we sure you're saying this right on,
12:03
Amanda, I'm very I am very cool. Guy yacht like guy at g
12:07
y a t t okay. It's not like well in a way, and
12:16
it essentially means gosh dang, as if let's say, an attractive person was
12:20
walking by my god dang you yeah you got ya wow. And so,
12:26
of course I've never heard this. I was gonna say so next time I'm
12:31
out and about, oh yeah, prancing through Costco and somebody goes, yea,
12:35
you know, well hang on, we're getting a phone call. I'm
12:39
afraid of what this is gonna be. Good morning, who's this, Jenny?
12:41
What's going on? Well, you were saying guy yacht, right,
12:46
I said something like that. I was saying guyacht do you have a correction,
12:50
I'm assuming yeah, it's actually yacht and it means like your butt,
12:54
your butt, Oh my gosh, like a rear end. So pike,
12:58
you were giving us fake in for this whole time. I'll be honest,
13:01
I could have researched the pronunciation a little more. So it's not guyat,
13:05
it's what no, yeah, yeah, yeah, Jenny, if you don't
13:09
mind me asking how old are you thirteen thirteen yacht age. If you don't
13:15
mind using this in a sentence, that would be great. I don't know,
13:18
like if you're just walking by somebody and they see that you have a
13:20
big butt, they'll just yell yeah, a big button. Oh jeez,
13:24
I will never hear this ever. This is too sad and is lacking in
13:30
the yacht department. And Amanda in the morning on Big seven, are you
13:35
ready? Let's see it is piping hot today and now Amanda stills the sea,
13:43
let's see. So I saw probably five or six baby announcements on my
13:46
news feed through the holiday season. Super cute from you know, we're expecting
13:52
a little Turkey in a few months, or I'm super thankful because we're having
13:56
a baby, or guess who got stuffed. Yeah. No, they're a
14:00
fun T shirt. That's the turkey. Yeah, all the Thingspike. No,
14:03
there's any number of options Thanksgiving thing. But anyway, who made a
14:07
big announcement, Well, Paris Hilton. We found out over the weekend that
14:11
she secretly had a second child, so we know she went through a surrogate.
14:15
Again. I'm like, okay, that's super sweet. But what I
14:16
did not know is she didn't even tell her family. She rolled up Thanksgiving
14:22
Day and told them that she had a performer, So everybody thought there was
14:26
going to be a magician, which is also weird. You're just bringing a
14:28
magician to Thanksgiving? I know, would you even welcome that and be like,
14:31
uh no, we're not going to bring some circus man into my home
14:35
on the holiday. I guess if you have a lot of kids, great,
14:39
okay, Paris, you've got a ton of money, and you guys
14:41
have a magician on Thanksgiving. No, she walks in with a pink blanket
14:45
and a baby, and everybody went, wh what a bait? Well,
14:50
yeah, did the baby perform a number? No? I think the baby
14:54
was didn't do any pull any rabbitizer as well, except that we've got another
14:58
baby in the I mean cute, but also whoa so over the top.
15:03
You don't get many opportunities to have a big surprise like that. Oh that's
15:07
cool, I like it, No, it's I'd still be waiting for a
15:09
magician if I was the family, but probably like you know, there's a
15:13
one knee sitting there. She's like, cool, but I thought that you
15:16
were where's the performance? Speaking behind the baby carrier? So where's the guy?
15:22
The guy's coming? Still ride and Taylor Swift? She touchdown in Kansas
15:26
City. I really love it. Boy, this girl is obsessed. Yeah
15:31
she is. Well traps couldn't go to see the second she can. She
15:33
just gets on a plane right to Kansas City, Missouri. I also think
15:39
about that. I know all the NFL markets that you could head a boyfriend
15:43
and you're just in the dead center of the country. She would never have
15:45
been caught there in any other six situation, just hanging out in Chief's territory.
15:48
Don't know how long she's gonna be there. I'm guessing a couple of
15:52
days before he has to really hunker down because he's headed to Green Bay.
15:56
Is she gonna go? I mean, I was trying to think is there
15:58
any It really doesn't matter if her and Brittany Mahomes are still friends, just
16:03
hopping with her there? Why not a girl's weekend in Green Bay? Well,
16:07
she got something going on. But I mean, Taylor's ever had cheese
16:11
curds? That's Amanda. I couldn't say, do you, I don't know.
16:15
I feel like she's a girl's like, there's gonna be like the Instagram
16:18
reveal, she's like, first time with ge Oh my gosh, I've never
16:22
had cheese curds. These are amazing, Amanda, Green Bay so much mo.
16:26
It's not just all cheese curds and Super bowls Okay, Oh more than
16:30
that going on. By the way, I totally forgot about this. I
16:33
saw this over the weekend. Brittany Mahomes. You know how everybody was digging
16:37
up Travis Kelsey's old tweets. Yeah, Brittany mahomes old tweets. Uh tweets
16:41
are bashing Taylor Swift. A couple of them are. No. I mean,
16:45
this is like fourteen years ago, and you got to think she was
16:48
probably fourteen at the time. But can Taylor write anything more than just old
16:52
boyfriends? Though? Oh, it's such low hanging fruit. Yes, I
16:55
mean so nothing over the top, but enough that made me giggle because I'm
17:00
going, how are you going to explain that? If your tailor? You
17:03
have to even if you're just kidding, because you got to understand, just
17:06
bring it up and just be dead seriously about it, be like, hey,
17:08
what the heck is this? Explain this? Britney Right, and Mark
17:12
Wahlberg, you think he's probably one of the most disciplined actors in Hollywood.
17:18
Well you don't look at the guy and think, well, there's an undisciplined
17:19
man. It's like him in the Rock. They're kind of up there with
17:22
that. Well, he said, he's not even close to what his thirteen
17:25
year old daughter is actually like. She's way more disciplined than me. He
17:27
said, I wasn't that way until I was in my thirties. But she
17:30
is doing the work. He went on to say that she wants to be
17:36
an Olympian. I always thought that the Patriots going to the Super Bowl was
17:38
the most nerve wracking experience I've ever had. Nope, there's nothing like watching
17:42
my daughter on a horse. So I was thinking about this. I should
17:47
have looked this up. Is she an equestrian like that or are we thinking
17:51
like a gymnastics horse? What I'd have to learn more about gymnastics horse?
17:56
What is that? And that the where you run and go over the horse.
18:00
The vault like using the horse is kind of like the vault the pull
18:04
the eye. Isn't that vault? The vault the pummel horse? Is that
18:07
what you're thinking of? The pumb horse? Okay, so that's not going
18:10
to be an actual This is going to shock you. I was not not
18:12
a gymnast. You don't strike me as a horse girl either. It like
18:18
in a minute in the morning on Big nuety eight point seven. You know,
18:22
Merriam Webster, it's your favorite dictionary, isn't it. Yeah? Of
18:26
course my big go too. Yeah. Well they've revealed the twenty twenty three
18:30
word of the year. All right at that time, it's the end of
18:33
the year. I gotta be honest, I just lied to you. Dictionary
18:34

18:38
all these years, got rid of that hard copy, been going to the
18:41
wole internet. The word of the year, any any guess doesn't any care
18:45

18:56

authentic command. Be your authentic self, authentic self, authentic cuisine, authentic
19:15
voice, authenticity. That's what it's all about, Amanda. Yeah, I
19:19
love this. It's to be real, not false or imitation. I love
19:26
a good authentic person. I feel like I'm allergic to people who aren't being
19:29
authentic because you can just tell even if you don't know the person. For
19:33
example, I really struggle and I know, like customer service voice is a
19:37
thing, but like if you're at a restaurant, the server, like,
19:41
I just want you to be yourself, just be a you can be kind,
19:45
you know what I mean. You can be a certain over the top
19:48
the voices that people put on as a server. That we had breakfast the
19:52
other day and the lady came up and she was so so nice, Amanda,
19:56
but I could just tell that. She like probably had this straight face
20:00
before she walked up to her boots. She was like psyching herself out in
20:03
the me You're like slapping her face, don't time, Oh no, put
20:04
it on, come on, here we go. And then you come up
20:07
and you like, hi, everybody, how are we doing today? I'm
20:10
like, do you go talk to your friends like that? Are you really
20:11
nice? Are gonna walk back in the kitchen and use that same voice?
20:15
I don't think so. So I feel like I talk the same way,
20:18
but apparently when I do get in front of a microphone, it's just like
20:22
on a little bit. Oh yeah, you got this radio thing, but
20:25
don't you absolutely not. Once upon a time, I think in this business
20:30
people struggle with authenticity all the time because you know, you think you're supposed
20:33
to be this certain way on the radio. And it's like any job you
20:36
maybe like grow up in the industry learning from somebody and you think, well,
20:40
that's how I gotta do it. I gotta do it how that person
20:41
did it. But then you just find yourself not being yourself. And to
20:45
me, there's just no worse thing. I know. I feel like I'm
20:48
pretty myself. Oh mean I'm just saying, sometimes you talk a certain way
20:51
well, and I think that's just like as soon as, for instance,
20:53
if we're like doing a live broadcast somewhere, I'll be talking to you and
20:56
I feel like I'm talking like this. I mean, for example, if
21:00
I brought up our PJ party on Saturday and said, nobody said a Maana,
21:03
tell me about the PJ party, it would be like special time.
21:08
Let me try me in the most casual again, authentic the word of twenty
21:14
twenty three, tell me about the PJ party. So we have this my
21:19
favorite. This is before I know exactly what you're gonna say, but go
21:22
ahead. So it's the first ever PJ party. It's coming up on Saturday
21:26
at Sweet Shots. Super excited about it. It's only ten dollars and that
21:32
is gonna not only get you your picture with Santas for the low low price
21:36
of ten dollars, which is a thing you would say in a conversation,
21:37
Oh here come Santa Claus hot free breakfast, thanks to our friends at Cisco
21:44
in Sweet Shots. There you go. See, that's that's not authentic saying
21:47
thanks to our friends over at It's just like that just screams commercial to me,
21:52
I'm just eeasing. You're good. You're very authentic. Some people are
21:53
not even like, you know, just being around certain people, you just
21:56
find yourself acting a certain way. Young people especially like it's just be yourself.
22:00
Don't try to impress people, don't try to be cool. Tell you
22:03
I have got And I think it comes in age. I remember a lot
22:06
of people when I was growing up, was like, you'll just get to
22:08
a point. And I feel like it's truly after you have kids. Yeah,
22:11
not that you don't care, but you don't. But you don't,
22:15
you really don't. You're just hey, this is what what you see is
22:18
what you get. You know, it's it's sometimes you show more sunshine and
22:22
rainbows, but I also like to show it's not perfect. It's not and
22:26
that's okay to show that. But then at the same time, I have
22:30
this conversation with myself, like, oh, just be like when you're posting
22:33
something, for example, yeah, if you like writing the caption now and
22:34
you're like, well, this is what I would say if I was just
22:37
at the bar with my friends. But now is that while authentic, is
22:42
it appropriate for the mass? Probably not? Go go ahead, I just
22:45
gotta tell you. You know, you were just talking about me not being
22:48
authentic. It must have. Really. The reason I'm saying this is because
22:52
Josh, thank you for just buying tickets to the PG bar. Oh Josh,
22:59
he did. He bought some tickets and I think he's bringing the kids
23:00
on Saturday, so we appreciate you. Only a limited supplies gets left called
23:07
out like it a minute in the morning. Come on, get up on
23:11
Big seven. It's Soliday season, low season. Fine, it is a
23:17
time where you can start decorating without the judgment of the rest of the world
23:21
because it's after Thanksgaving. Oh my god, December first starin is down the
23:25
throat here right, Yeah, but some things that you want to actually consider
23:27
when you're decorating, not just safety, but just like decorating in general.
23:32
Okay, and I know you've already put as you refer to it as Christmas
23:36
up oh gap at your house, not completely though, Okay, Yeah,
23:40
well, these are still some notes you'll want to heed then, like,
23:41
for example, neglecting safety issues you want to be careful, like how many
23:45
lights it's safe to plug in and also how long you can leave the lights
23:49
on without causing a fire. Yeah, an electrical issue. I don't know
23:53
if you saw this video. It was going viral the last couple of days.
23:56
There was a guy who was a celebrity site and he drives by Calabasas
24:02
next to all the celebrities like Conan O'Brien, the Kardashians, a bunch of
24:06
them are there and everybody has like, of course, not in comparison to
24:11
what we have, beautiful lights up. And then you get to Kim Kardashian's
24:14
house and these are like the brightest white of lights, like you couldn't sleep
24:18
at night if you live next door, just feel like a constant hum.
24:21
Yeah. Really, it's just crazy to me. And you know what I
24:23
mean, They're just really bright. And her house hasn't burned down. No,
24:27
well that's good to know, because we got like a few on a
24:30
railing outside and it's like, you know, I like, I say,
24:32
leave them on because I'm not going to remember to plug him in every night.
24:34
Wait, so you leave him on even during the day. Oh yeah,
24:37
I'm a real sicko like that, a real Christmas sicho. Also,
24:41
we got a little Christmas tree in the in the kitchen, as you know,
24:45
like a foot and a half tall tree. I leave that bad boy
24:48
lit up too. So one of my favorite things is to keep the Christmas
24:52
tree on as soon as it gets dark. And I would love to have
24:55
the Christmas tree on still when I walk downstairs at you know, four o'clock
24:59
in the morning. My husband unplugs that bad boy the second he You're missing
25:03
out on so much holiday spirits, I know, because of that, because
25:07
of that grinch of a husband of yours. Fact, we go to beddle
25:08
like six thirty, so it's only game lit for like an hour. Oh
25:12
my god. It'll save us though in the long run, because I won't
25:15
have to. There's nothing worse than putting up the Christmas tree. And there's
25:18
some it's already a pre lit tree and then one of the lights is out
25:22
or a stringth ho. Well, not to mention. Just think about the
25:25
four cents you're saving on your electric bill. There's that. There's that.
25:27
Also another note, when decorating for the holidays, going overboard on bargain purchases,
25:33
you want to be careful for that. You don't want to turn into
25:34
your grandma who ends up with just an obscene amount of holiday decorations she found
25:38
at the Dollar store. Yeah, No that or you sometimes you gets six
25:42
sucked into that fifty percent off a hobby lobby. Oh I got we got
25:47
fully sucked into that one. No you didn't. You got four items.
25:49
We saw them. It's so significantly more sucked in that i'd been in years
25:55
past. To be fair, Yes, we went to hobby lobby and picked
25:57
out like three four things. No, but I get it. It's because
26:02
I don't need to have a full on and I could go crazy for it.
26:06
And that goes right into this number one warning the experts when when it
26:10
comes to holiday decorating, or warning you about purchasing holiday items you don't need
26:14
over decorating your space. My mom used to have a Christmas tree in every
26:18
room. I'm talking the bathroom are rooms. She had bathroom tree storage,
26:25
holiday toats. I mean you'd have the garland up on top of the both
26:30
like kitchen stuff. I mean it was crazy to me. Trees upstairs downstairs,
26:34
I mean it was the holiday plates would come out. I say,
26:38
like, I get just chills thinking about the storage required. My grandma was
26:44
the same way, And I feel like, obviously the older you are,
26:45
probably the more stuff you had just in general, right, but my grandma
26:49
like every room, like you said, the kitchen alone, Christmas salt and
26:53
pepper shaker, Christmas napkin holders, it crispin plates, you know, napcin
27:00
works. You know. I I have a Christmas tree that is still underneath
27:03
the stairs because I'm like, oh, I want to keep that because as
27:07
the kids get older, maybe we'll put a Christmas tree downstairs as well.
27:11
Like I don't know, I think I'm good with just one Christmas. It's
27:14
just there's just a lot of work here. Mother in Lund ask me the
27:18
other she goes, so where do you put like the kid's ornaments? Because
27:22
if you look at my Christmas tree, on the side, it looks like
27:25
it's just my own like vibe. But on the back I have all the
27:30
kids stuff, well, your own vibe, like pictures of you as a
27:33
kid, Amanda's third grade ornament she made, and Amanda in the morning on
27:40
Big Seven. Man. If I, as a kid would have had the
27:42
opportunity to call Santa Claus direct Amanda to the North Pole, I feel like
27:48
I'd be a lot different as an adult. But you do have the opportunity.
27:51
We have a direct line to the North Pole. It's called the Santa
27:52
hot line. It's been blowing up. Kids calling all over the place wanting
27:56
to tell Santa what they want for Christmas with some of the other miscellaneous messages.
28:02
So if you want your kids to call, number is seven oh one
28:04
four nine nine six' nine zero three. It makes me excited just hearing
28:08
their reaction when they hear Santa on the phone and just the I mean,
28:12
their minds are blown because it is the direct line of Santa. And uh,
28:17
like yesterday we had somebody who called that because after they had told Santa
28:21
something, They're like, oh no, I mean it could biarly sleep.
28:22
And then because it was some miss information, well they might have messed up
28:26
what they said. And that's the thing. You meet them, you know
28:27
santat the mall or whatever, it's like, well you get that one shot
28:30
on his lap, and then you get home it's like, oh, I
28:32
should have said that. Well, that's why I got the Santa hotline.
28:33
So again the number is at Big nine eighty seven dot com seven oh one
28:37
four nine nine six nine zero three. But I thought this one was just
28:41
the cutest. Hi Santa being well and have you been a good girl.
28:48
I'm a big girl. Mishard the question, but she's to confirm a big
28:55
girl yep. Then Mom goes back with it, have you been a good
28:57
girl? Nope? Oh, honesty thinks I mean, honesty is the best
29:04
policy. Have you been good? No? But you know what, maybe
29:07
I'll work on it since I'm for Christmas. Admitting it is step number one.
29:14
Also really concerned? Are they still a thing of Ferbie? Did she
29:18
say she said her baby or Ferbie? I thought she said a Ferbian blocks
29:22
Either way, Ferbie's terrified me growing up. What the heck is a Ferbie?
29:26
Remember? They were those little uh kinda that's what they look like and
29:33
freaked me out. But squish mellows are like the hot new thing and they
29:37
kind of give me a little Ferbie vibe. Some of them really all right?
29:40
Well, this one I thought was cute as well. And what you
29:42
want? I want an army show for it, and I want to look
29:48
into cars. Thank you, thank you Santa. An army Swiss knife.
29:55
Yeah, I'm sure it's a toy, of course, brush, but the
30:00
remote control car. This kid sounds like he's in right in my nephew's wheelhouse
30:03
of their agent. I got them, my nephew Liam a remote control car
30:07
for his birthday. Loves it. Yeah, just wearing the batteries at is
30:11
up on the top shelf with the batteries out. Just oh yeah, I
30:15
couldn't couldn't quite get to the battery store, mom. Yeah, the battery
30:18
store has been closed for a while because it just kept ramming and ramming and
30:22
ramming into the stove. And what are the floorboards do to deserve that beating?
30:29
Oh? The Santa hotline is for seven one four nine nine six nine
30:33
zero three. Santa would love to hear from your kids, so give him
30:34
a call.
