- 1:38Speaker 1: Now, Tickle Me Elmo, gosh, Christine, we were, I think,
- 1:42Speaker 1: working in radio when the buzz on that was going on.
- 1:47Speaker 3: That was like one of our prizes I think we
- 1:49Speaker 3: would give away at Christmas. That was a big deal
- 1:51Speaker 3: to get one.
- 1:51Speaker 1: You couldn't find it. Yeah. Like Cabbage Patch Kids in 84.
- 1:55Speaker 1: We weren't radio then. But I remember the video of
- 1:58Speaker 1: people running to the stores and news footage of parents
- 2:03Speaker 1: shoving other parents to the ground to get a Cabbage
- 2:06Speaker 1: Patch Kid.
- 2:06Speaker 2: It's almost like trying to get the Snoopy cup at Starbucks. Yeah.
- 2:09Speaker 1: Oh, are you still searching for that?
- 2:12Speaker 2: No, no, I don't.
- 2:13Speaker 3: You know, if I don't get it on the day
- 2:14Speaker 3: of the release, I'm not going on eBay. It's going
- 2:16Speaker 3: for like two and three times.
- 2:18Speaker 1: But if there's a Starbucks nearby you, would you check
- 2:22Speaker 1: back every couple of days to.
- 2:23Speaker 2: See if- They're not.
- 2:24Speaker 1: It's gone, gone.
- 2:26Speaker 2: It's over. I just have to accept it.
- 2:29Speaker 1: You're really sad, aren't you?
- 2:30Speaker 2: They don't restock them.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Well, you know what you're getting for Christmas.
- 2:35Speaker 3: Oh, really?
- 2:36Speaker 2: No, I don't, but I guess I do now.
- 2:38Speaker 1: Remember I came through about two years ago, you were
- 2:40Speaker 1: looking for something, and we were so excited we found it.
- 2:42Speaker 1: It was some kind of- Oh, my gosh. What was it?
- 2:45Speaker 2: It was a Tiffany cup.
- 2:47Speaker 1: Tiffany cup. Thank you. And you couldn't find it?
- 2:49Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 2:50Speaker 1: And I remember... That's really fancy. We found it, like,
- 2:53Speaker 1: in November. And we're like, oh, my goodness.
- 2:55Speaker 2: Oh, you guys are smart.
- 2:56Speaker 1: We got lucky.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Thank you.
- 2:57Speaker 1: So who knows what you're going to be getting for Christmas. Oh,
- 3:00Speaker 1: who knows? And don't forget, everybody, Christine Nagy's birthday, December 26th.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Oh, thanks, guys.
- 3:04Speaker 1: And producer Kristen is December 29th. Yes. So I want
- 3:07Speaker 1: a bunch of love coming to my ladies here.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Thank you. We are the forgotten Christmas babies. I know.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I think about you all the time.
- 3:12Speaker 2: Somebody stole her thunder.
- 3:13Speaker 1: I know. Darn, Santa. What do you have coming up
- 3:16Speaker 1: in the news?
- 3:18Speaker 3: Well, if it's hard for a woman to say no,
- 3:20Speaker 3: and a lot of times it is, psychologists say this
- 3:23Speaker 3: is a way that's going to help you do it.
