  Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, it snowed like a month ago, Like
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: That's why. That's why we're struggling right now. We just
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: were over it and it hasn't even begun, so it's
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: gonna suck.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: I am very much over it. I've been looking at
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: houses down south. I've actually been helping my uncle. He
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: uh works for a contractor, so I've been helping him
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: like market the house is that he's building, or that
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: his company is building. Yeah. So yeah, I cannot wait
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: to just move away, move down to weather.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I know. I feel you. I'm heading that way too.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: And you just got back from Florida and Florida wasn't
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: even that warm, you know it wasn't.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously it was better than here, but we
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: had like very the sixty three. The temperature was like
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: sixty three there and really windy, so it wasn't even
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: enjoyable to walk on the beach. I was freezing. And
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: then the third day, you know, the days after, we're
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: a little bit warmer. We got up to seventy five
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: and that was perfect, but it was hit or miss,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: so yeah, better than New York weather, but still I
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: was hoping for that, just that soul, the soul burning sun,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: you know, the sun, the heat, just your whole body
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: feels good. That's what I wanted. But yeah, I didn't
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: get it. It's all right.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: How was the trip? Did anything crazy happen? Because every
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: trip that you go on something always happened.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Of course, of course it did. I mean we start
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: out with the flight there, you know, I it was
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: my sister and me and our little kids, so my
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: four year old and her five year old, and my
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: dad and my stepmom were there. So we get to
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: the airport and we got there early and we're just waiting.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: We're waiting at any breakfast because I'm like, ah, it's
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: a quick flight to Florida. I'll get something there. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: we're sitting there and I see everyone running to the
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: windows like, oh my god, Oh my god. I'm like,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: what's going on? And I look and there's fire engines,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: there's military like these military trucks. I don't know what
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to call them. And there's firefighters and cops and air
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: staff out by this plane. And I'm like, oh, what's
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Like, oh, it's a fuelly.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I'm like, oh, that sucks for that. And my sister goes,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: that's our plane. I'm like, what, that's our plane. There's
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: a fuel leak on She's like, yeah, that's our plane. So, yes,
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: there was a fuel leak while they were trying to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: refuel my our plane, and it took two hours for
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: them to clean it up. They wouldn't let the plane leave.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I'm like, just let the plane leave, you know, it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: just on the ground. No, they had to clean it
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: all up.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Why. I mean, I could see like a fire I
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: guess it's a.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Fire hazard, but still like, just roll the plane, you know,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: back it up, get it out of that spot.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Once it's you know, out of that area, you're fine.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: So once they cleaned it up, then we had a
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: rate for them to refuel the whole plane, because I
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: guess they started to refuel it and the guy didn't
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: put it on right. I don't know, but it leaked everywhere,
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: so that was scary. I really didn't want to get
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: on the plane because I'm like, is this a sign.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I'm always looking for signs like don't get on the plane,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: it's gonna crash. But I took my chances. I went
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: on the plane. Then I wished I didn't get on
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: the dam plane because we hit some sorts storm. So
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: instead of it taking like two and a half hours
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: to get to Florida, it took us four hours to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: get to Florida. And I hadn't ate anything. The airport
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: had no food. It's a little airport, and they closed
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: down the kitchen, so we.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Had They closed the kitchen down, yeah, they.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Because everyone was. It really affected everyone's flight there, so
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: people now were starving, so they all went to this
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: little cafe, the only cafe in this place, and everyone
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: orders food and they were gonna out of food. So
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: then the oil was spill affected the fuel. It affected
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: all the other flights. I guess they couldn't have other
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: flights leaving with all the firefighters, the fire trucks there
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: and everything. I don't know. So when we finally were like,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: well maybe we should get some food, we went out
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: there and they're like, nope, we're kitchens closed. And then
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: they put the freaking gate down, like they close the OHU.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: It had bags of chips and pretzels and stuff like that,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but they closed everyone out. I don't understand that. Pissed on.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: My dad was pissed. He's like, this bitch won't get around, Like,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: oh my god, Dad, calm down. But yeah, so I
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: got on. The flight took four hours, the worst flight
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: I've ever been on. I will I'm sorry, but I
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: won't ever fly Allegiant again. I understand for people who
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: want to keep the costs down, but I just I
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: missed my Jet Blue, even Delta. I missed. Like. There
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: was no Wi Fi, there was no TVs. They had
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: no snacks you had to buy them, no drinks you
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: had to buy them. They had no coffee, Not that
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I care, but my dad didn't. What plane? What flight
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: doesn't have coffee? You know?
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: Well? What flight doesn't give you a soda?
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah? And they could, they could pour you a cup
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of water, but that was it. Yeah, no, yeah, so
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: I'm like, this is I was so bored out of
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: my mind. I didn't bring I didn't bring any well.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: I bought a book in the airport, thank god, but
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: it was so boring I just put it down my
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: never mind. So, yeah, the flight was horrible, absolutely horrible.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: How were the kids? Were they fighting?
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Shockingly, they were pretty good. They did get antsy towards
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the end, and other kids on the plane were screaming.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: And I feel bad because, yeah, it was. It was
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: a long You think about the whole process of getting
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to the airport, going through TSA. Then you say there
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: for your normal time waiting for a plane, and then
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: add two more hours onto that. Then add a four
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: hour flight that was only supposed to be two and
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: a half hours. It's a long friaking day for anybody.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: So everyone was miserable. How was the turbulence It was
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: hit you know, we had some we had some rough
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: moments the way home. It was worse, but nothing nothing
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: too bad. But you know, the plane felt rinky dinky,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: So I was like really scared. I'm like, oh, this
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: is not happened. Then this is not gonna be good.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Well, the Allegian is very very cheap. Yes, so that's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: my dad actually flies to the Legion.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Hey, I get it. If you if you really don't
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: care about luggage and don't care about TV and don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: care about Wi Fi and don't care about being entertained
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: and don't care about not drinking and not eating, go
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: on the flight. You're good to go.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'll have to ask him, like if he brings his
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: own snacks or.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would have brought my own if I knew. Like,
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know why. I just expect it because every
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: flight I've ever been on, they give you a bag
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: of food and get a soda, you know, So I
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: wish I would have known. But I'll be flying Jet
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Blue next anyway. So Christmas, like we said, is right
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: around the corner. We got a ton of amazing Christmas
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: gifts and we've been trying to pick away at them
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: on the show every week, and it's just so hard
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: when you have so many and you only have a
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: certain timeframe to record the show. You know, how much
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: can you get on the show. We tried our best.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: So we're finishing that Christmas list today, so bear with us,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: and if you have any last minute you gotta get
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: any last minute gifts, these are some great ones. A
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: super useful product review that we did get was the
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Panasonic Breadmaker. We were talking about it last week and
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I reviewed it and absolutely love it. So I had
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: to leave the house and I'm like, oh, shoot, I
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: want to have bread for dinner tonight. And I looked
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: it up and on the thing and said I could
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: do a delayed start, which was amazing. So when you're
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: if you're busy or even overnight, like if you want
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: to wake up to fresh bread in the morning, like
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: who doesn't want to wake up to that smell, you
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: can set a time or a delayed timer to have
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: your bread made by you know, whatever time you want.
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: So anyway, I did the French bread because I like
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: the crust and the you know, the crispiness of that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: And all you have to do is add the ingredients.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: It tells you they have come with a little recipe book.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: So I followed one of the simple recipes there, put
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: the ingredients in it, and then you pick, you know
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: what modeed it, what recipe you use? Is it the
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: French bread? Is it this bread? Is it that bread?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: And then if you want the delayed timer. You could
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: do that, and if you don't, you just hit start
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and then it's going to do everything for you. It's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: going to need the ingredients, it's going to let it rise,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and then it's gonna bake it all in one so
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: it's like set it and forget it type thing, which
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: is great. I mean, we've all had bread machines in
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: the past. I remember my mom had one. You were
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: telling talking about how your mom had one.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, she still has it. It's from like the nineteen nineties.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so they all it's pretty much the same as
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: a little more high tech now and they're more sleek looking,
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: like this was gorgeou. It was like there's no gaudy
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: logo on the front, just like a mirror finish on top.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Really nice. It's gonna look nice in the kitchen. So
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: it's not like, you know, out of place. But I
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: would highly recommend that is a great gift for anyone
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: in your life because with the crap that they put
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: in bread nowadays, make your own without all the headache
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and the hassle.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we also got to try out the green
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: Pan ice cream maker. Yes, and talk about putting, you know,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: getting rid of all the crap that they put in
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: ice cream these days, so simple to make delicious, healthy.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: I couldn't believe that. I've never made ice cream before,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: so I didn't know, you know, what to expect. But like,
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: if you go to your grocery store and pick up
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: a pint of ice cream, look at the back. Half
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: of it or more than half is not real ice cream.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: You're eating chemicals, you're eating fake crap words.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: You can't even pronounce.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: And they say it's not even real ice cream. It
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't melt. So this is great, you know me, I
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: want to live a healthier life, and so that's what
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it is. All it was was add milk, heavy cream, vanilla, salt,
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: and sugar. That's it. Clean ingredients. You know, you can
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: pick your organic stuff whatever you want. And it made
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: ice cream soft served ice cream so fast, and my
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: daughter was just amazed, and it tasted delicious.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: It was really good.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: My son wants to make strawberry ice cream next, so
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: I have to figure out how to do that. They
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: have olid recipes. It can make sugar, it can make slushies,
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: they can make frozen alcoholic beverages really amazing. But the
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: soft serve is my favorite. That's why I really wanted it.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: And they come in gorgeous colors. I picked the creamy white,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: but they had this beautiful blueish color. They have a
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: bunch of different colors. So anything that could fit your
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: to corn in your kitchen. But I would highly recommend
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: that is like a top Christmas gift for anybody. They
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: also sent us their pants at the reserve and it
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: was steak less. Deal with the gold handles, I know
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: I've spoken about it before, but I use them every day.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Absolutely amazing healthy. I don't have to worry about the
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: chemicals leaching into my food when I cook, and they're
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: so easy to clean. I just stick them in the dishwasher.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: So Green Pan is amazing. We love them, We always
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: work with them and we're always blown away by their products.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: So the next product is it's called Give Hugs and
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: it's hug Z and it's all little plush stuffed animals
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: and you could put them in the microwave or in
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: your freezer refrigerator and they're weighted stuffed animals. So I
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: use mine for my migraines. My migraines have been so
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: bad lately, and I swear it's because of the weather.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Probably between the sauna, the Tommy Copper chill mask for
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: your head for your forehead, and the hugs stuffed animals.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: You're all set.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm all set. I just rotate run from the next
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: and that is what I've been doing and it's working.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: It's it's helping. I just I don't want to take
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: the medication. No, that's good, so.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: Go to the natural route. Yea. Jelina loves the hugs.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: She gets tummy sometime and she's like, can you put
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: the hugs on my belly? So I put in the
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: microwave and make it warm, and then I lay the
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: stuffed animal on her belly and she just she snuggles
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: it and it helps her feel better. So she's getting
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: comfort in two ways and it's great and.
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: It's helping her constipation.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, yep. And have you seen her with her replay
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: little Stanley looking cup? Yes, the Maiden Oh my god,
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: it is okay. It looks like I don't want to
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: call the Stanley because it's not. But you know how
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Stanley looks the handle with the straw and like the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: she looks like a little adult. Yeah, So the replay
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: the Maiden USA cups. They sent her this, this cup,
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: and it is it's purple, it's stainless steel. Again, I
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: don't have to worry about chemicals leaching into my daughter's drinks,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and it keeps her drinks warm or cold, whatever I
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: put in there. I love it. It's so easy to clean.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: There's no I don't have to take a million parts,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: you know, things apart. I hate that with cups there's
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: like three or four different pieces and then I lose
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: one can't find it. This was so simple. I just
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: unscrew the cap and I throw it in the dishwasher.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: That's it. So simple. That's what moms need in their life,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: you know. But she is so cute with it. They
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: sent us a few other cups too, so they have
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: all stages of cups. They're made in the USA, which
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: is so important to us, and they are health conscious.
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: They're not trying to put toxic chemicals into their products
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: that are gonna hurt our children.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: The next product we have is the Loop digital frame,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: and my mom absolutely loves hers. I got my grandmother one,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: and my grandma loved it. For her birthday, I put
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: all pictures of like, you know, family on it for
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: her and all kinds of stuff and she absolutely loved it.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And what's really cool about it is you could send
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the pictures to the frame and then if your friend
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: has one a loop frame, you could like swap pictures
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and share send to each other. It's really really cool.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: So my mom absolutely loves hers. You know, she's always
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: asking me to add pictures of cats on there, and
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: you know, pictures of like flowers that she took off
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: a Google. I'm like, really, ma.
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Like she wants to look at some nice stuff, you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: just it is relaxing.
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: I have elders on the internet.
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, elders.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: I think it's great for families with little kids because
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: I have an older loop frame and my daughter from
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: a toddler just was amazed to stand there and watch
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: the pictures of family and she would, oh, there's Pop Pop,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: there's nanny, there's you know, Aunt Gabby, and every day
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: she just couldn't wait to see the pictures. Even though
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: she'd see them every day, she couldn't wait to watch
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: them again. And again, I think it's really cute. You
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: have the journal loop I had, Yeah, that old is
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: it was a few years ago, but it's good. I
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: still use it and What I use the loop for too,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: is my business. It's great for business owners. I take
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: it to vendor events with me. I put it on
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: my little stand and I let it go through the
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: photos of my business so that clients can see. But
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: you know, oh, this was the card at their wedding, YadA, YadA, YadA.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: So it works for a bunch of different things, you know,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: not just necessarily family pictures, you know.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And we are giving away a loop frame to
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: a special listener.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Stay tuned for that contest. We're going to be posting
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: it up. And so today we went and dropped off
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: the gift bags to the kids in the hospital at
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Garnet Hospital. And you know, every year we talk about this,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: we feel so strongly about doing this, but we donate
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: and get donations of toys for children that are in
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: the hospital right now, especially during the holiday season where
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: they're probably sad, they're scared, and they're missing being home.
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: So we tried to brighten their lives up with these
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: toys and little gifts. So we just dropped them off today.
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: It was great. We had so many bags, so many
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: awesome things we did.
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: We had so many bags.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, it heavy. Board No More gave us
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: a goodie bag full of different little toys, card games,
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: coloring stuff.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: It's perfect for a hospital stay and that is what
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Board No More is. It is a nonprofit and they
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: give out bags to children that are in the hospital
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to make their days a little bit brighter.
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's an amazing company. It's kids need that just
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: to brighten their day and give them something to do
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: and get their mind off of what they're going through.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: Pathwater sent us their refillable bottles, which I love. They
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: are an aluminum canned type bottle, so they are refillable.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: They have a cap that the kids can close it
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: and come with cute characters on it, like SpongeBob, pul Patrol.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: There was a ton of characters and it always makes
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the kids smile when they see it. Toothbrush Toys sent
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: really really cute toothbrushes. Ones were mermaids, some were puppy dogs,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: some were sharks, all different like characters on the toothbrush.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: So that's something that was fun that you know that
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: they can have fun brush in their teeth right.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: And Julina loves to brush her teeth.
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: She loves it. A lot of young kids do sometimes
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: and it makes it fun when there is something fun
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: about it. You know, that's not just a typical toothbrush.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: It looks like a toy, So that's you want to
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: make it fun so that they do take care of
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: their teeth.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: And the Right Brothers Company they sent over little paper
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: airplanes and they were really really cute.
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: I know, they're like the old school ones where it's
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: like a stick and you kind of put it in
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: your hand and twist it and then it flies like
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: a propeller. Really cute. I like showing my kids those
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: old school toys, and I think the kids will get
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: a kick out of that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Beebelens sent us lip balm.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: It's all natural, organic, all natural, smells delicious. They had
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: lavender vanilla and I forget the other one, but they
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: it was in a cute little tin box, and I
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: think it was just it was cute. They're like cute
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: stocking stuffers. So each kid got one of those. And
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: you know, in the hospital, your lips do get dry.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: A lot of times you're dehydrated or you're not allowed
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to drink, and your lips chop up. So I think
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: we thought that would be a perfect to add to
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: the gift bags.
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's great. I tried it. I absolutely love it.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: I really liked the vanilla scenterce.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: It was not good. That's it. Organic sent us the
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: dried the apple snacks. I get them at Sam's Club.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: So I've bought them for I said, the past year
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: for my kids. They love them. But they're like little
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: snack packs of dried apple with either blueberry flavoring with
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: them or strawberry. And I think they're yummy. They're a
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: quick little snack and I think that's great, a healthy
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: snack for the kids.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: You know, I've never heard of it.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: No, No, I get them all the time on Sam's Clubs.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: So is it real fruit?
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's real apples. There's no chemicals, there's no preservatives.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: It's just apple, strawberry and blueberry. It's just apple, dried apple.
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: And some have blueberry with the apple and the others
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: have strawberry with the apple. But they're good, you know,
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: and they're healthy. You don't have to worry about what
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: you're giving your kids.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then we also got Penelope and the Vase,
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: which is a children's book, and we got the book
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Finding Joy.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: So it gives them something to do. Like instead of electronics.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: While they're sitting there, read a fun book. It was
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: they both were really cute books. So I think the
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: parents and the kids will get a kick out of them,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: and hopefully we brighten their little hospital stay. It's really
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: important and we want to think everyone that donates every
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: year to us, it really makes a difference.
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: Absolutely.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: Another fun Christmas gift that I'd say that kids would
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: love is Kooby Tunes. So it's kind of like Tony's
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: but different. It's a little bit more educational, a little
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: bit more monsieur. Get the stage, that's your initial thing
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: that you buy, and then they have all these little
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: wooden characters and when you put the wooden card for
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: each character in there, it's gonna do a different thing.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: Like one card was to create your own band. So
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: you put the card in. The bass knows okay, this
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: is we're creating a band here. And when you put
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: the wooden figures on, it has this little i'm guessing
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: some sort of code on the bottom. When you put
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: it place it on this stage that the stage knows, okay,
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: this is a guitar. This is this this is that
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: Angelina had such a like she had so much fun,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: creating music with it and moving, taking in the drums off,
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: then adding the drums again and making a song. There
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: was a counting game. There was an orchestra one. So
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: they have all these different games that are educational and
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: entertaining and keep your kids off the iPad.
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: And Grace and Stella sent us my favorite. They are
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: like relaxing eye patches, yeah.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: And moisturize. They have different things that they can do,
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: like some is for moisture, some is for brightening. Right,
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: it's some almost for depuffing.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: I need depuffing and I need moisturizing.
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: You need them all.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I need them all.
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Listen, I'm turning forty in a few days. I need everything.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: I need all the things, all the things that make
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: me look young again, because I'm really depressed about that.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: So I might have to try some Grace and Stella
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: on this forty year old face and see how we do.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: You should try it tonight and let us know. I will.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: I definitely will, because I do. I don't want to
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: I don't want to age. I'm really depressed about this.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Shaanna was like, this is a big deal. Forty, you know,
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: thirty was a little sad, but forty. Is I am
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: a freaking adult?
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: We never feel like we're adults. But I'm like, I
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: have to be an adult now, right. I don't think
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: i'm adultish still, I think I'm adult, an adult now.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know forty yeah, I would say you're an adult.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: I'm an old lady forty. I mean, you know. It
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: was funny because my friend Nicole, who you know, we
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I used to go with her to uh, her daughter's
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: gymnastics thing and at one time, like something happened at
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: the gymnastics place, and Nicole's like, where's an adult? And
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: She's like, oh, fuck, we are adults. We are the adults.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: We are the adults.
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm like, oh geez right, I'm like, we really are.
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: It's so crazy to me, like we're the adults now.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I always ask does anyone feel like an adult? Because
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: when I asked my dad, I said, you know, my
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: dad's seventy. I said, how honest to god, how old
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: do you feel inside? Ignore your aches and pains? Mentally?
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: How old do you feel? And he said twenty five.
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: I said, I feel the same age, like I feel
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: like I'm in my twenties mentally, not physically. Like, my
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: knees are not the same. I'm not dropping it low anymore.
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: You know, I can't do that. But my brain mentally
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: is twenty five. So yeah, you stay at that age.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Like mentally, I think that you do, because I don't.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: The other day, I totally forgot how old I was.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: I just I blanked out, yeah, like, oh, thirty three. Nope,
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: not thirty three. I'm thirty five, and I'm like, nope,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: not thirty five. You know, you just you forget, but like, mentally,
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: you feel like you're in your twenties. The other day, yesterday,
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: I was going through my phone deleting old videos, and
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: a video of my mom's sixtieth birthday popped up. I
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: have no recollection of throwing her a birthday party?
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Are you kidding me?
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I have no I said. I said to my mom,
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: I said, did I throw you a birthday party? She's like, yeah,
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: at the eerie, I said, I have no recollection. She said,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: what made you ask that? You know what brought that up?
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I said, the video of me? I said, my cousin
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: Alusia was bringing out a birthday cake and we were
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: saying happy birthday to you. I said, I have no
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: recollection I don't remember if it was a surprise party.
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, old, no recollection of it.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: That's bad. That's really bad. And you're not even forty yet.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: So it's only gonna get worse.
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, I mean it's crazy. Like I'll say things
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: to my dad like two and three times and he's like,
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: you already told me that. I'm like I did. It's
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: so I think we just have too much on our plates.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, overwhelmed. I'm very forgetful, as you know. So I
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: think you have ADD I have add and I think
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: I'm just I'm forgetful. The older I get in my brain,
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: but I get it, it's only gonna get worse.
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: Right, our bodies feel like they're seventy.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like I'm probably my late forties my
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: body honestly, but that's not good. I need to get
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: into the gym. I need to because I don't want
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: to be that old lady, like like the old people
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: today that can't get up a sidewalk and you have
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: to help them. And we don't want to be the crippleds.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: That's what my husband says. He's like, working out, you
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: want to be able to pick up your grand kids
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: one day and I was like, you're absolutely right. So
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: that's my goal for turning forty. I need to focus
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: on my health.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: And my favorite item that we got this week is
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: the Instant Pot Heat and it is a new like
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: instant baking it, air fryer, toaster oven. It does it all.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: I cannot wait to bake Christmas cookies in it today,
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: And you know for people with a small apartment, it's
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: perfect when if you don't have an oven or you
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: don't want to use your oven. It's an oven, air fryer, toaster, oven,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: everything in one and you could do so much in it.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: It's pretty big, you know, and Instant Pot always gets
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: everything right. We've had their products before. They're just the
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: instant pot itself and I still use that to this day.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I love it. But great product and we're gonna see
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: how it turns out with those cookies.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Yes, I can't wait. In the other item that is
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: my favorite are the portable Balkan chargers. Now. I don't
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: know about your well, you just got a new phone,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: but my phone I have to have it like plugged
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: in like three or four times a day. Yeah, and
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: it's just not holding the charge anymore. It's over a
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: year old, and I don't know what the problem is,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: but I cannot get a new one and I won't
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: get a new one for a few years until this
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: one totally goes down. Yeah, but I am so happy
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: that Belgan sent us their portable chargers because I take
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: it everywhere with me.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: It's important nowadays, like because we're on our phone so
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: much for different things. They're not holding charges like you
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: said anymore. Like they they're not lasting, So you need
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: to have a portable backup battery everywhere you go.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: I really do you do? And agree, and I have
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: lost electricity I would say at least twice a week
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: for the past month. So these chargers definitely came in handy.
