we have Gregg to the fram boy who decided to
show up. And also there's Garrett, there's Danielle and straight
(00:27):
name quick question and then I'll sit back and see
what you have to say about it. When does Christmas
season officially begin? Oh? That's easy for me? Friday? Is
it Thanksgiving? Is it Friday? December one? See? For me,
it's when Santa comes down from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade?
Did I see Santa? I'm like, it's Christmas? See for me,
(00:49):
it's when they light the tree and Rockefellow Center, which
is going to be happening in Wednesday to this podcast
on a Monday, and Brody And for me, it's week
after next. As soon as Nika is over, okay, then
done and then you move on to Christmas season. I
get it. What about you, Gandhi? I love Christmas, so
I'll take it as early as possible. But for me,
it's a day after Thanksgiving. Okay, So we're you're in
(01:12):
what about you roundhead? Yeah? I think it's when Santa
comes down on the Mace's Day Thanksgiving Day parade. Okay, yeah, Garrett?
November one, November one. Can you explain why I don't know? Thanksgiving?
You really, outside of the single day and eating turkey,
what else is there to celebrate? I think Christmas and
the holiday season there's more to engulf and enjoy than
(01:35):
just one day of hanging out with your family and friends.
November one, November one. Why not like, at least at
least start listening to Christmas music, put up a few decorations.
You don't have to go full blast your seasons underway. Yeah,
you're a month knee deep. See what I feel like?
As soon as October hits, it's the holiday season, Christmas, Halloween, Thanksgiving,
(01:58):
big year end season for you. I can see why
you would say that. Remind me to talk about Santa
in a second. But for me, it's always been the
day after Thanksgiving because that's when Mom would break out
the Christmas decorations, start baking some cookies. We would go
Black Friday shopping, and then in the afternoon we put
up the tree. So it's it's the families together. Okay,
(02:18):
So we all agree on those days. Yeah, well, actually
we don't agree. What about you, I'll tell you mine
is it's very different. Uh My Christmas season begins when
I get that feeling, and it could happen on Thanksgiving,
it could happen the day after. It could happen during
the parade. It could happen. There were several years it
never happened. Have you had it this year yet? No,
(02:40):
I haven't. I haven't kicked out, but I will. I
promise you, I will let you know when Christmas season begins,
So it could happen during this podcast. It could happen.
The good old fashioned Christmas miracle could happen. I always
thought with you it was when Christina Aguilera's Christmas song
we played that in July. I don't know, you know,
to me, it's more of a you know, it's gonna
(03:00):
catch me, It's gonna hook me. It's gonna be something
that hits that that chord. You know what I'm saying.
So we'll be there soon. What about Santa? Okay, with
the kids, anybody that has kids in the room, is
there another way to get in touch with Santa? Because
when I was a little kid, you either wrote him
a letter or you went to see him a can
you tweet him? You can FaceTime him? Now. I was
(03:21):
at the mall and there was like three kids in
line to see Santa. I remember when I was a kid,
that line was like down to Walden Books. It's very
early though. Books. Well, there's a bookstore from the walk.
You can fast pass Santa now fast fast pants. Yeah,
(03:43):
you can go online, reserve your reservation and fast past Santa.
So so that line, those people didn't make a reservation
to meet. We were down at Brookfield Place yesterday and
there was Santa and there were there was there was
no one in line. But it's very early, guys. A
lot of people don't take their kids to see three times.
I saw them, and I saw him the news. You
(04:04):
can now have Amazon chip two days Santa to your house.
But the kids don't go to the mall anymore. Think
it's a little difficult, you know. On was it Saturday?
Was that this one mall and Santa was there, you know,
and there was a little bit of a line and
then we laughed because you know, the kids that they
didn't want to stand on line. So then we I
had to go to home depot and what do you
know it. Santa was sitting at home depot, and then
(04:26):
you can go sit on Santa's lap at home deepot.
There was five more kids at home depot sitting on
Santa's lapl quickly, you know, so when you move so
fast that Santa pushed the products that are surrounding him,
is he suggesting like chainsaws? There was a there was
some snowblowers next to Santa where he was sitting in
(04:48):
the home depot. That would be awful if Santo was pushing.
Speaking of pushing, do you guys get this daily Amazon text?
Here in New York City, there a truck and they
tell you every day where the truck's located. Today is
Cyber Monday. On the truck it's at eleven point six
in acer chromebook eleven hundred and nineteen dollars. Where's the
(05:11):
Amazon truck going to be? Why? I'm looking it up now.
I think that's cool, But tomorrow it'll be like chicken breasts. Yeah,
it's different every day. It's different every day. It's fabulous.
Another great thing I love about living in New York City.
Everywhere Santa sack right there from tvstas. You know what,
(05:32):
here's the thing retailers have totally figured out how to
grab us through our phones. I mean, I know that's stupid.
It's been around for a while, but this year they're
getting craftier than ever. They really. The Instagram adds get
me every time I look for something online and then
I go to Instagram and there it is and it's pretty,
(05:52):
and I'm like, how dare you? Yes, I will buy it.
But then when it comes it's never the same as
it Wasn't that it's from some different planets. Makes seven
years to get here? How does Instagram know I have
a bad back? I keep getting it straightens you up
in it. It's your microphone. They're listening to you. Have
you seen that ad yet? It's like a harness put
(06:13):
over the shoulder and it bell grows over your your
your abdomen, and it makes the people in the video
stand up straight. No kid, I get it every day.
Different companies. I'm looking through my Instagram now to see
what they're pushing. I'm getting pushed a lot of clothing.
Psycho Bunny, Psycho Bunny clothing. Oh yeah, that's what they're
they're advertising for me. Let me look at so we
(06:35):
all have different things coming our way. But I think
that's because of those things that you're searching for, so
some of the key words that you put in, then
they generate these ads and then you get them. I
get a lot of like frying pans, kitchen stuff, kitchen
cooking exactly. I'm laughing because a lot of Jack Skellington stuff.
My current sponsored ad is retro sequin bell bottomed pants,
(06:58):
and I'm not sure when I searched to see those
are cool. Those would not look good on you. You
know it's bad too. Warning for anyone with Amazon Dot
that when your packages arrive, you can get notifications saying hey,
such and such just came to your door. But if
you're ordering your holiday gifts this season, don't ask for
(07:20):
those notifications because if you're buying something for someone in
their house or child had your tricycle has a ride
that happened that I had to turn them off because
my son was grabbing my phone and I kept getting
the bing, bling bling, My great, you got to hide it.
My favorite is when a package comes and it's not
for me, it's from my husband, because right away he'll say, oh,
(07:42):
look something else came for you, and then his name's
on it. And I go, excuse me, I want to
eat crow right now? Whose names on that package? I
pine for the days where no one knew what was coming,
no one knew how it was going to get there.
You'd have to hide it in the trunk. You know.
We can still do that well and I know, but
it's still there are too many ways if you're snooping
(08:05):
around to find out what you got. That's why we
don't do Secret Santa around here anymore, because of Danielle
and Froggy. Danielle, you know about this Gondhi. They're ruiners
of things. Danielle and Froggy would ruin Secret Santa every year.
They would start talking between themselves like who who got who?
Here's the problem, and they would guess people were stupid
enough to tell us who they got, like people would
(08:27):
by the end of it all, somehow, each person would
would either ask me for a suggestion of a gift,
or it would spill or whenever. I don't know why
people can't keep secrets anymore, like Alex, for instance, when
when it's when it's Christmas time or Birthday time? Don't
you know what? Don't you want to know what you got?
I said, no, I don't want to know, Well don't
don't you want to open it today? No, today is December.
(08:48):
Another problem with Secret Santa was when we broke the rules.
The rule was you can't spend more than twenty dollars
and then well one time Elvis got me and I'm like, wow,
look at that. It was way over. Everybody was a
little piste. You can't buy any good over twenty Christine
Naggy one year and Christine Nage now works on Light FM,
(09:11):
and it was twenty five dollars. She got a prod
of bag just find anything under it was on sale.
The problem is everybody was like who el who it
el us get? And if he didn't get you, whatever
you got sucked people and you always do. If you've
got certain people, you're like, oh, they're not gonna let
(09:32):
me tell you something. Being me is not good. I'll
tell you why, because I have I have no imagination
at all, So I have to go out and just
over spend because I can't think. I can't get creative
enough to find the perfect gift under twenty five. That's
just me. I got two c ds? What did you get?
Elvis got me a car? I got the artist on
(09:54):
the c ds. I got a Montclair jacket, I got
a rock. I really stressed about your dating, Elvis. I've
been thinking about what I'm gonna get you. No, No,
I have a thing. I have a thing. A thing
you can't give gifts giving you? What is it? I'm
not going to tell you. Why are you bringing up
how much thought I'd put into it. It's only been
(10:14):
here like two months. Whatever she gets you, we have
to get you a hundred times that. I was thinking
the same thing I really want. He wants money towards
a charity. I'm gonna make a suggestion, yes please do
you have to cover your ears though I can't. He's
in a sound place, studio. Go ahead. We should do
like a synchronized or choreograb dance for you, like love that. Yeah,
(10:36):
that would be awesome. That's cheaper. You know. My husband
used to teach sirok right redive like swing. Really, he
was a swing instructor. We should do it dancing. That
would be the ultimate gift. I am insisting, no gift.
Can they be in a cage like he used to
be when he was a mail Michael Jack would be
(10:57):
a gift if we let n go back and get
a shower. We have to be for the bachelor party.
I couldn't do that at the plus, can you get
a shower cage? Fan? These are all bad ideas. I'm
glad you brought at the bachelor party, Like, I'm really
excited for that. When are we doing this? Don't don't women?
Don't we do two bachelor parties? Yeah? We where we
(11:18):
gonna go? Two bachelor's? No, I'm gonna stay home. I
don't want to go. We're not. We're not doing any
bachelor party that I don't know. Okay, will that be
mail strippers at the male bachelor party. I'm totally going.
You're performing fine, I swear that will be the night.
(11:39):
I'm telling you. I am going. Yes, dude, you got
were going to danglars. Yes, we're going to dongles. Back
to gifts and people who can't keep surprises? Why is that?
Why do people love to bust surprise? I have a
(12:00):
friend who finds a show she loves and googles the
plot and the end of it before it happens. If
they just don't like suspense, I don't know what I
love it. I love surprises so much that I save
a gift every year from Christmas, just so one day
if I'm having a bad day, present daniel is a
great idea, great idea it is. You'd be so happy,
(12:21):
Danielle Christmas morning. Are you surprised when you get gifts? Oh? Yeah,
I never know what I'm getting. I don't know anything
that's not true. There's a couple of things I know
that I wanted, but normally my husband does a very
good job of surprising me with things I had no
idea I was getting. Yeah, he's very good at that.
A buddy of mine once one year got a T shirt.
He was a huge Harry Potter fan, and he opens
(12:41):
up the t shirt, opened up the gift and it
was a T shirt and said, um, Dumbledore dies on
page two forty seven. He hadn't gotten to that yet.
That terrible. Another friend, he's a PRIs spoiler. Dumbledore is dead.
But everybody knew that by now. What happened died? Don't
(13:04):
having a dumbledoor? He died sixty whatever it was. I
don't even know what he died. I don't know. But
there's a T shirt that says that on and my
buddy brought it for him because you're a huge fan
of Harry Potter, because I didn't get that. In fairness,
if he was a huge fan Harry Potter, he would
have gotten to it before the shirts were made. Just
(13:26):
saying it was when the book just came out. That's
the type of gift I would give. N Here's what
happens in over. You do that all the time. It's
not a gift. When you do, it's a curse, a
spoiler on it. Oh, speaking of these shows that we're watching,
since I just said I was a um, I'm still
watching the Haunting of hill House. So I have two
(13:48):
or three episodes left, and I cannot imagine how they're
going to possibly explain everything because it was a space
at this point, and I'm like, there's no effing way
in hell they're gonna be able to put this together.
They do they doing it for her right out? Not
(14:08):
cannot sleep after I watch it. I feel myself coming
out of my body and my neck is crooked in
the middle. Back again, Back to crooked neck lady, Back
to Haunting of Hill House. Whatever. I still think it
was just so well read, and there really are some
touching moments more so than frightening. I cry a lot
during the show, yet it's very touching. I just need
(14:30):
someone to snuggle with. Before I watched the stow have
to binge watch in a weekend. When last night when
we're going to bed, Alice wanted to watch some NNE show,
some spooky nun horror movie the Nun? Is that the Nune?
So we watched the trailer and all of a sudden,
but no, it's no way the nun. That's something you
(14:53):
watched during like at noon with the fifteen minute morning show.
