0:39
Hello, this is the eat more carbs podcast.
0:41
I'm Jenna here with Riley. Today we're going to be playing
0:43
holiday smasher pass. If you're familiar with Riley's
0:46
Instagram account, every year she does a bracket for holiday
0:49
foods where everyone votes on what their top holiday foods
0:52
are. So instead of doing that, this
0:53
year we're playing holiday smasher pass for our favorite
0:56
holiday foods. But before we get into that,
0:59
update me on your week. What's going on?
1:01
If you have listened to the More Cars podcast, if you listen to
1:04
last week's episode, you know that I'm currently in the middle
1:07
of a move this week. Both my high and my low have to
1:10
do with my recent weekend trip to Target.
1:13
First off, Target was insane. I don't know if you've been to
1:15
Target recently, but I think the entire city of Winston Salem was
1:18
at Target. It's not related to the story.
1:20
My high and my low have to do with that recent trip.
1:23
We went to Target to kind of start like loading up on some of
1:26
the basics. Right now that we've moved in,
1:28
we're trying to like declutter, organize, donate a lot of
1:31
things, but then you also like need a lot of that random stuff
1:34
that you don't always think about South like bath Matt
1:37
Charlie started crawling up the stairs.
1:39
So we have to get a baby gate. We have to get a high chair
1:41
because we've been like in a temporary high chair because
1:43
we've been in temporary living. We actually just kind of go and
1:46
get some of those like not really fun basics.
1:48
We're standing in line. We have our full cart where
1:50
usually it's like self checkout people, but because we had a
1:53
whole cart of stuff, we have to stand in line because the entire
1:56
city of Winston Salem is at Target.
1:58
The lines are, are pretty long. We we get up to the front of the
2:00
line. We're kind of prepared for
2:02
somebody to be like a little grumpy who's working.
2:04
The lines are super long. There's so many people there.
2:07
I'm just prepared for somebody who's like, not super happy.
2:10
It's like Sunday afternoon. The guy starts checking us out.
2:12
He's a guy like in his early 20s.
2:15
He rings up one of our like empty little bath trash cans.
2:18
Like do you know what I'm talking?
2:19
About like, yeah. They're like this big.
2:20
He hasn't really said anything to us.
2:23
He deadpan looks at Robbie and I and goes, this trash can reminds
2:27
me of myself. Oh, no, Robbie and I like, look
2:29
at each other. We're like, we are not mentally
2:31
prepared for this. Like, is this man OK?
2:33
Like, again, hasn't said anything.
2:35
Is this like quiet guy? Like I said, younger 20s hasn't
2:38
like really engaged with us and our brain.
2:40
He's like, he's totally over it. And then now we're like dealing
2:43
with a little bit of a situation.
2:44
We're like, Oh my gosh. He follows up and goes, yeah, I
2:47
look like trash on the outside and I'm hollow in the inside.
2:50
Like, no, but a complete joke. Robbie and I just start burst
2:54
out laughing and this man has decided that we are his target
2:56
audience. He starts like slinging jokes
2:58
after every single product, right?
3:00
We're not like crying, like laughing like the dry humor,
3:04
like we were just not prepared for everybody else in line
3:06
thinks we're crazy people because this man is just telling
3:09
joke after joke now and like we're just eating it up.
3:12
I'm crying now even thinking about it because he was just
3:14
like slinging the jokes at us. That was the high because that
3:17
was just completely unexpected. Especially like with his first
3:20
joke, we were like, we're not prepared for this.
3:23
But it was just like a really nice kind of like highlight
3:25
because again, we were in a really busy situation.
3:28
We've been really stressed out because of the house and then
3:30
this, I don't know, this guy was like super nice and and telling
3:32
us jokes. So that was my high.
3:34
My low is a follow up to that. This guy telling us jokes.
3:37
We're like laughing with him and he looks at the register when
3:39
we're finished ringing up and goes, Oh my gosh, Oh no.
3:43
And we're like, this guy is telling us a joke.
3:45
He goes. This is the most money that I've
3:47
seen somebody spend when I've worked here.
3:49
Did you ask him how long he'd worked there?
3:51
Like maybe he was a holiday employee?
3:52
So like, it hadn't been a very long time.
3:54
That would have been my first question.
3:56
We're like, he started today like he started today like.
3:58
Today's the first day. Yeah.
4:00
And we were like, how long have you worked here?
4:02
He's like July. Oh, not a holiday employee.
4:04
Not a holiday employee. And I was like, could we just
4:07
spend like $3000? Like, am I gonna have to put
4:09
everything back? Like am I gonna literally have
4:11
to Amazon everything? What did you do?
4:13
Was it over or under? How much you thought it was
4:15
going to be? It was $600.
4:17
Oh, OK. I was anticipating like a like a
4:20
lot worse. I didn't want to ask how much it
4:22
was because I thought it was going to be like a four number
4:24
situation. It's 600.
4:26
It's. Still a lot.
4:27
Yeah, but like, there's TV's at Target, there's Xboxes, like
4:31
gaming systems at Target, people are, you know, shopping for
4:34
holiday gifts. But then I was like, you need to
4:36
check myself. I feel like it's.
4:38
So hard to go into Target and spend under $100.
4:41
And then you have things that you need for your home and for
4:43
your baby. So like, I don't feel like
4:45
shocked by that. Like, I wouldn't have been like,
4:47
Oh my gosh, you know, I'd have been like, oh, shoot.
4:49
Like, that's still a lot of money to spend, but it's all
4:51
things that are necessities for our new home.
4:53
Right, because we both love a good deal.
4:54
I was shocked and but I was thinking, I was like, have we
4:57
been trained by Target that now I can go into Target and spend
5:00
$600.00 and be like, so I don't know.
5:02
I just thought that was interesting.
5:04
Well, I love that this individual had a great sense of
5:06
humor. I love dry humor that can be so
5:09
funny. It reminds me of I had.
5:12
Why am I telling this story? I had a substitute teacher back
5:15
in high school and she was the driest person on the planet, but
5:19
she was always the substitute teacher that we were hoping we
5:21
got. I went to a very small high
5:22
school, so like the pool of substitute teachers was very
5:24
small to pull for him. But it was like, oh, she's there
5:26
that day. And it was like, oh, heck, yes.
5:28
Like, I'm so excited for this class.
5:29
Like, she'd be calling off people's names and, like,
5:32
telling jokes that she's doing it.
5:33
She'd be like, Jenna, that's a weird name.
5:35
Why did your parents name you Jenna?
5:36
Like, stuff like that. Like, she was so funny.
5:38
So anyway, that kind of reminds me of that.
5:40
But it can just, like, make a situation that doesn't feel
5:42
super fun or if you're having a bad day, can really pull you up.
5:45
So I love that, Yeah. I think it just ties back to
5:47
what you always say. We're like people joining
5:49
people. And you know, last week I talked
5:50
about also like Charlie got a new pediatrician and it just
5:53
really changed the experience when you can connect with that
5:56
and or that you're they just really stick out in your mind, I
5:59
think. This really plays into Milo from
6:01
the week because Milo is that we went to a Cardinals game here in
6:04
Arizona and something that I have noticed about Arizona and
6:08
going to sporting events or just being around Arizona is that no
6:11
one cheers for the home team and that it's really hard.
6:14
The Cardinals stadium is a big stadium and over half of the
6:17
stadium is Seahawks fans. You want to be around like
6:20
minded people when you're cheering for a sports team.
6:22
You want to be around the people like, you know, you're all
6:24
standing and cheering for the same team, but when everyone
6:27
around you is cheering for the opposing team, that's not the
6:29
home team, it can feel really hard.
6:30
And I can't imagine being a player on the field hearing
6:33
Seahawks chants in what is supposed to be their home
6:37
stadium. And I've been guilty of this
6:38
because when the Colorado Avalanche came to play the
6:41
Coyotes, when the Coyotes were still here, I was cheering for
6:44
the Avalanche. And most of that arena was
6:46
cheering for the Avalanche. And now I'm like on the other
6:49
side of things where I was like, OK, I'm not a Seahawks fan, nor
6:51
am IA Cardinals fan. So I'm just going to go with the
6:52
home team. You know, that's what we're
6:54
going to do because that's where we live.
6:56
It made me kind of sad. But like most people from
6:58
Arizona, like aren't really from here.
7:00
They're like me and have moved here later in life.
7:03
So it's just kind of an interesting thing to see when
7:05
you go to a home stadium and it's not a home game.
7:08
Really interesting. That's how LA was.
7:11
We would go to a game and the entire stadium would be the
7:14
other team. And it was very, very shocking
7:17
in the beginning to us. Yeah, I think it's even like
7:20
supposedly I haven't been to any professional, well, other than
7:22
the Galaxy game we went to together in Los Angeles, I
7:25
haven't been to professional sporting events in Los Angeles,
7:28
but I've heard it's even worse there because of kind of a
7:30
similar situation where teams aren't really like from there
7:33
quite yet. Los Angeles, all the sporting
7:35
teams are much newer. So it's really interesting when
7:37
you think about like people join people and all of that kind of
7:40
connection that there is with even going to something like a
7:42
sporting game. So that was my low.
7:44
My high is, though, kind of still playing off of that.
7:46
My brother was in town, my brother and I really close.
7:48
We also both really love Thai food, even though most of the
7:51
time when we have family or friends come to visit, like I'm
7:53
cooking because I like to cook and I like to host.
7:56
We decided that we were going to try to find the best Thai food
7:58
and we went to two new Thai restaurants here and they were
8:00
both so good. So we had some great food.
8:03
So that's my high. It's just that we had good food
8:05
and good company. I love that.
8:06
And on the topic of Eric, how is he feeling about his half coming
8:10
up in the next couple of weeks? Oh my gosh, this is so funny
8:12
that you asked about this being is the fact that we do share our
8:15
training updates where we were just sharing a little bit about
8:17
what's going on with our training as we lead into our
8:20
half marathon. My brother is running the
8:21
Phoenix half with my husband and I, just more of a party pace.
8:24
We're having a good time with it.
8:25
We did train and run together while he was here.
8:27
We did 7 miles. That's the longest he has run
8:30
leading into this race. He definitely isn't as much of a
8:33
runner as I am, but I think he's going to be OK.
8:36
He's just a little bit nervous about the distance, but I think
8:39
it'll be all good. What about you?
8:40
What does training look like for you this week?
8:42
This is so funny that you kind of mentioned him being a little
8:44
bit nervous about the distance because the race that I'm
8:47
training for right now is the Rock'n'roll half in March in DC
8:51
and I'm running that with my sister and that's going to be
8:53
more party pace as well. And it was really funny because
8:57
we emails probably like on a weekly basis.
8:59
And the last e-mail that we got was like a course outline.
9:02
My sister sent it to me and goes, this looks really long.
9:05
It is 13.1 miles. Madison.
9:08
It's not a short distance. I really love the half
9:10
difference though, because you are able to, I feel like get
9:14
faster with the half difference and you're also able to do other
9:17
things. And that's kind of what I've
9:18
also been focused on this week is slowly incorporating some
9:22
more of that strength training with the move.
9:24
Now I have my home gym back, which I'm really excited.
9:26
So I'll be continuing to lift about three days a week and then
9:29
running probably 3 days over the weekday and then I'll do a
9:32
longer run. But a lot of my shorter runs
9:34
right now are interval based. So like fart like work 30
9:37
seconds on, 30 seconds off and doing some of those shorter
9:40
track workouts as well. Love it.
9:42
Something that's a little bit different about us today is that
9:45
we're not not in our typical uniform for recording the
9:47
podcast. We're really excited for the
9:49
holidays, but we're both in our Christmas sweaters.
9:51
So Riley, show off your sweater and tell us the story.
9:54
Like where did the sweater come from?
9:55
Where did you get it? So this.
9:57
Is my Christmas sweater for this year.
9:59
My sister-in-law, my brother-in-law actually got it
10:02
for me from like a vintage store in New York in a tacky sweater.
10:06
But it's also a soccer jersey, so it has a number on the back.
10:09
It's a Brazilian player. And they actually got it for me
10:12
because it's black and white and they're like know that I love to
10:14
wear black clothing. So they slowly got it from me
10:17
because it's black and white, but it has some snowflakes on it
10:19
and it's a jersey and it's Christmas themed.
10:22
So thank you guys for the sweater.
10:24
What about yours? I see this.
10:25
I do not know what is on there. I have to.
10:28
I need you. To OK my Christmas sweater says
10:31
all I want for Christmas is Steve Harrington.
10:33
Do you know who Steve Harrington is?
10:35
I have no idea who Steve Harrington is.
10:38
So this is quite a story. This Christmas sweater is going
10:40
on maybe 7 years old I want to say me and my best friend from
10:44
Oklahoma, Katie, we gifted these to one another.
10:47
This is when we both worked at Lululemon and we needed funky
10:49
fun Christmas sweaters to wear to the store for holiday work.
10:53
And at the time season 2 of Stranger Things came out and in
10:56
Stranger Things is a character named Steve Harrington.
10:58
Though that is why I have this Christmas sweater.
11:01
It was before I met my husband that I got this Christmas
11:04
sweater and he absolutely hates it.
11:06
I can't imagine why but I wonder if it's because this is another
11:09
man's name on it and that's all I want for Christmas.
11:11
So both me and my best friend have these because we gifted
11:13
them to one another. I love it.
11:15
OK today we're playing holiday smasher pass for holiday foods.
11:18
So kick us off. What are we smashing or passing
11:21
all? Right.
11:21
So what I did is I did a very intensive Google search and I
11:25
looked up the top 10 holiday foods that people like to enjoy
11:29
for Christmas and just during the holiday period of time.
11:32
And I thought we could start off with last year's winner of the
11:36
Carb Challenge. It actually made the list and
11:38
last year's winner of our carbohydrate challenge that we
11:41
host on Instagram was cinnamon rolls.
11:43
Jenna, are we smashing cinnamon rolls or are we passing on the
11:46
cinnamon rolls? Smash all the way.
11:48
My mom makes homemade cinnamon rolls for our Christmas morning
11:51
brunch every year and I look forward to them all year long.
11:54
They are so good. So, so good.
11:57
Robbie's mom also makes cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning.
12:00
We usually do Christmas with my family now and then we'll do
12:03
like New Year's Eve with his family.
12:05
But she waits to make the cinnamon rolls until couple days
12:08
after Christmas. So we can like do the Christmas
12:10
set up a couple days later with the cinnamon rolls.
12:13
Christmas cinnamon rolls. There's just something about
12:15
them. So good sticking to our
12:16
carbohydrate theme because this is the Eat More Carbs podcast.
12:19
What about sweet potatoes? Like are we smashing or passing
12:22
on a sweet potato casserole? Pass.
12:25
I'm passing too. OK, the reason I say pass is
12:28
because I'm super picky about sweet potatoes.
12:31
I don't like a sweet sweet potato situation like the ones
12:36
with the pecans and marshmallows.
12:38
And like, that is not for me. That's not my jam.
12:40
I don't like it. But if it's a savory sweet
12:43
potato dish, which I feel like is less popular, I'm probably
12:46
gonna try it. But it's definitely not going to
12:47
be my favorite thing. Like that's not my carb choice
12:49
that I'm putting on my holiday plate.
12:51
Like I'm gonna, I'm gonna pass and I'm going to do something
12:53
else. What are you putting on your
12:54
plate then? MMM, Like if there's some type
12:56
of like Mac and cheese, I want that for sure.
12:59
And then I probably want some type of like roll to like that's
13:02
going to be the things that I'm going towards for a holiday
13:05
meal. I feel like holiday meal tends
13:06
to be pretty similar to Thanksgiving for most people,
13:08
like there's like a ham or Turkey or some protein like
13:11
that. So I feel like I'm pretty safe
13:13
with saying that those ones will likely be included.
13:16
Those would probably be mine. What about you?
13:17
I'm also passing on the sweet potato because I don't love like
13:22
a sweet and savory combo. If I'm going to eat sweet, like
13:25
I want it to be like my dessert and I want it to be sweet.
13:28
And then if I'm going to eat like a savory meal, I want it to
13:31
be savory. So I'm also going to pass on the
13:33
sweet potatoes because I'd rather put like stuffing or
13:36
rolls on my plate instead. Or the Mac and cheese that is
13:39
such a good shot. I didn't even have that on my
13:41
list, but I love the good Mac and cheese.
13:42
So do I there? I love pasta.
13:44
Like if I I think if you were to ask me if I like had to pick one
13:48
food for the rest of my life, like what would it be?
13:49
It'd probably be pasta. Like I would probably just say
13:51
buttered noodles. You would be so proud.
13:53
Charlie's favorite food is pasta.
13:55
Oh heck yeah, girly. That's my girl.
13:58
I'm just like, I'm such a proud mom.
14:00
Thank you. Thank you for loving carbs as
14:02
much as I do with carbohydrates. We have to kind of stay on that
14:05
theme right now. What about gingerbread?
14:07
Are you smashing or are you passing gingerbread?
14:11
Oh, this is kind of tough for me.
14:12
Oh oh Dang, I think I'm going to smash.
14:14
OK. What's your reasoning?
14:16
My parents hate ginger, so I never really had this sounds
14:20
really bad. That sounds so bad.
14:22
But they never really had like gingerbread things like growing
14:26
up in our house. So it's not really like a
14:27
traditional thing that we have. But my mom always makes
14:30
gingerbread houses. Like she makes them from
14:32
scratch. Like she has the mold, she does
14:34
the whole thing and it makes the house smell so good.
14:38
I really like that side of it because it's kind of like a
14:41
nostalgic smell for me, even though we don't really eat a lot
14:45
of gingerbread in my house. And I would be totally fine with
14:48
it as long as it's not like in my coffee.
14:49
Like I don't want a coffee you. Don't want like a gingerbread
14:51
latte? Yeah, no, I don't want that.
14:53
No, but like, if it's like a tasteful gingerbread cookie,
14:56
like, I'm probably gonna have it.
14:57
I also do not like ginger. Robbie loves ginger and that man
15:02
like steals my ginger off of my sushi plate as fast as possible.
15:05
Which is fine because I don't want it, but I think I would
15:08
smash. Also a gingerbread cookie if
15:10
it's soft and has icing. Oh.
15:12
Yeah, well, 100%. The whole reason I'm eating
15:14
cookies is because of the icing. Like, let's be clear, it's like
15:17
my favorite cookies are the ones with the most icing.
15:19
Don't come at me with with a cookie without icing on it.
15:22
That's not me. It has to also be soft.
15:24
Like I don't like crunchy cookies of any kind.
15:26
Right. Like I'm not eating the chunk of
15:27
I'm not like breaking off a piece of gingerbread from the
15:29
gingerbread house like I am. It has to be a gingerbread
15:32
cookie, preferably in gingerbread man form with icing
15:35
on it. Yes, I'm with you on that 100%.
15:38
Sticking to our dessert theme, what about eggnog?
15:41
Are we smashing or are we passing?
15:43
This one's easy for me, it's pass.
15:45
Hard pass. What about you?
15:46
I have never had it, but I don't, I don't think I can do
15:50
it. Like if I, you know, something
15:52
happened to me and I had to go tomorrow, I would I would never
15:55
regret that I had not had an egg bug.
15:56
From my personal preferences, I would say that you didn't miss
16:00
out on much because it's not my favorite.
16:02
To each their own, I know some people really love it, but it's
16:04
not for me. I should also try it like I'm
16:06
just being a bad sport. But the fact that you're like
16:08
drinking eggs, like all I can think about is people putting
16:11
cracking eggs like an orange juice, like trugging it and
16:13
that, that's all I can think about.
16:14
I can't get past it. No, to me it also kind of has
16:17
like a weird, like a weird flavour that I associate with
16:20
like bubble gum. I don't know why, but I feel
16:23
like I'm drinking like that, like pink bubble gum.
16:26
I don't know if that's just me or if that's like a thing, but
16:28
like for some reason that's like the flavour and maybe I'm having
16:31
really crappy eggnog, I don't know.
16:32
But like after trying it like a time or two, I was like, think
16:35
I'm good. Like it's not for me, is it?
16:37
Thick. Is it thick?
16:38
I feel like yes, yeah. It's gonna be a no for me.
16:43
No thank you. What about mold wine?
16:47
Have you ever had mold wine? Are we smashing it or passing?
16:49
It like spiced like OK smash. What about you?
16:53
Oh, the video being answered for Riley if you're watching.
16:56
I do love a wine. I haven't really been drinking a
16:59
lot over the past couple of years, obviously because we were
17:01
trying to get pregnant and then I was pregnant and now I just
17:04
don't like really drinking because I have a child now that
17:06
I'm responsible for. So I do like a wine.
17:09
I haven't had it in a long time, but if I was to have a glass of
17:12
something I like a spiced wine, I would also smash this.
17:15
You mentioned earlier that Christmas dinner is similar to,
17:18
you know, maybe it could Thanksgiving dinner.
17:20
So are you smashing or passing on like a Turkey dinner?
17:24
Like are you doing a Turkey dinner or would you rather have
17:26
roast beef or ham? I would rather have something
17:28
completely different. Like my least favorite thing
17:30
about Thanksgiving dinner is the Turkey.
17:32
I just like, it's not my favorite form of protein.
17:35
I'd much rather have something else.
17:36
Like I'd probably rather have like a rotisserie chicken on
17:38
Thanksgiving than Turkey. Like I just don't really.
17:41
I'm not really into it. And then I also really don't
17:44
like ham and I think it's because it's super salty a lot
17:47
of times. I don't know if that's just like
17:49
I'm a sensitive to salt kind of a situation with my I don't
17:52
know. I don't know.
17:52
I'm just weird like that. So I'd prefer if we had like a
17:54
brisket or something like that or just something like
17:57
completely different that's not super traditional.
17:59
So we should. Have done Thanksgiving smash or
18:01
past and I should have asked you about Turkey.
18:03
The people would have never believed.
18:05
It, I know, I know. I don't like it.
18:07
That's why every year like we always have leftover Turkey.
18:11
So I'm always trying to come up with some type of of a recipe
18:13
where I can reuse it because I don't want to go bad.
18:15
And I know that other people really like Turkey, so I'm not
18:17
gonna not have it at Thanksgiving.
18:19
But I need to find a different way to eat it because like just
18:21
plain Turkey for me. I'm just like, I'm not gonna eat
18:24
something that I don't enjoy if you are.
18:26
Listening to the Emer Carbs podcast for the first time and
18:29
you are not familiar with Jenna's Instagram, you have to
18:32
go check out some of her recipes on this topic.
18:34
She made like a really great Turkey Caesar wrap.
18:37
So you have to make sure that you all go check that out.
18:39
Going back to some more traditionally holiday foods or
18:42
specifically Christmas, What about like your Christmas
18:45
pudding? Are we doing your Christmas
18:46
pudding? MMM.
18:47
I don't know that I've ever really had a Christmas pudding,
18:50
so I'm gonna pass. Pass.
18:51
I'm also gonna pass. I feel like there's other
18:54
options, like they're just things that I'd rather eat
18:55
instead. Isn't it in the Grinch, the Jim
18:58
Carrey version of the Grinch, where they have like a bunch of
19:00
Christmas pudding that they make him taste?
19:01
Yeah, OK. I feel like it's a traditionally
19:04
British thing. Don't come for me if you're
19:06
listening to this and I'm completely wrong, but I feel
19:08
like it's like traditionally British thing.
19:10
And so that's why I think I had it a lot growing up.
19:13
Like pudding? Like Christmas pudding?
19:14
This might be a dumb question, but like how is it different
19:17
from regular pudding? Is it different from regular
19:19
pudding? It's not, it's like a a loaf.
19:21
It's like a cake. It's not like it's not like gel.
19:24
Pudding. Not like a pudding cup, yeah.
19:25
OK, y'all like to let us know if you're listening and we're
19:28
completely wrong, you have to like let us know.
19:30
But I do think it is like a cake.
19:32
That is what I've thought about because OK like douse it in like
19:35
alcohol and then light it on fire.
19:37
Isn't that flambe when they do that?
19:38
Is that what that's called? We're not that.
19:39
Fancy. I don't think so.
19:42
I don't know. Let us know.
19:43
If you know, let us know. I've not had that for Christmas.
19:46
Yeah, let us know if we're missing out.
19:48
We might be having any more carbs episode where we're just
19:50
drinking eggnog and eating Christmas pudding because we
19:52
were completely wrong on our choices.
19:54
So what about an apple pie? Are we smashing or passing an
19:58
apple pie? Oh, can I add a caveat to it?
20:00
Of course. Did you hear my gingerbread?
20:02
OK, yeah, that's true. OK, It has to be cold.
20:05
I have to have cold apple pie and then I'm gonna smash.
20:08
Oh my gosh, are you putting ice cream on your cold apple pie?
20:10
I would probably put Cool Whip on it and not ready has to be
20:13
cool Whip. Like I'm not a spray can of
20:15
ready whip. No, no, no.
20:16
Like I have to have Cool Whip on it.
20:18
That and I would be good with that, but it has to be cold
20:20
apple pie. I prefer apple pie cold.
20:23
Wow, OK, I am not an apple pie person so I'm going to pass on
20:27
apple pie. Tried it cold though, yes,
20:30
because sometimes, I mean, sometimes I'll go in, you know,
20:32
the fridge and take a scoop out of it, you know, if I need to a
20:35
bite or something. But I just again, I'd rather eat
20:37
other things. Like I'm a Big Sugar cookie
20:39
person, like I'm a cookie person.
20:41
And this kind of goes back to what we talked about.
20:42
But like it doesn't have icing. On that's true yeah, but I'm
20:45
using the cool weapons like low key icing so.
20:48
I just would rather eat like I need like a thick layer of
20:50
icing, so I just rather eat something else.
20:52
So I'm gonna pass. OK, I love that.
20:54
The last one is candy canes. Are you smashing or passing
20:59
candy canes? I did this already where I was
21:02
like not necessarily looking at it from like an eating
21:04
standpoint because I love like candy cane decorations and I
21:08
think that candy canes are pretty like I'm going to put
21:10
them on my gingerbread house when I decorate it.
21:12
But like from and consuming candy cane standpoint pass.
21:16
I think I'm also going to pass because I think I love the idea
21:19
of a candy cane. Like I always want to get them
21:21
to put on my tree and then I always have like 30 leftover and
21:24
it's July and I have them sitting at the back of my
21:27
pantry. And to me, candy cane is like
21:29
sweet toothpaste that you're supposed to eat.
21:31
I don't know, maybe it's just like a like a mint thing for me
21:34
in that sense. I don't know.
21:35
Which is funny because I love like mint chocolate chip ice
21:37
cream. That's totally different for me.
21:39
But like a candy cane, it's just not, it's same thing again.
21:41
We're kind of going back to like preferences.
21:43
Would I rather have something else?
21:44
And it's like 100% like I would rather have something else over
21:47
a candy cane. Like it's just not my fave.
21:49
Now, every time I look at candy canes, I'm going to think of
21:51
toothpaste, and every time I look at eggnog I would think of
21:53
bubble gum. OK, well I've ruined foods for
21:55
you today. Just don't come from my soft
21:58
gingerbread cookies with icing on them like.
22:00
It's fine. Any cookie with icing on it is
22:02
like it's playable for me for sure.
22:04
