Speaker 1 (00:00):
Good Morning mixed with Harrison Liz Luda Thursday.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
And it is the twelfth of Decemba.

Speaker 3 (00:11):
Its birth day's powered by Mark's being in real estate.

Speaker 4 (00:14):
And starting us off myambiolic I think I said that right.
She is fifty. She played doctor Amy Fairfowler on The
Big Bang Theory. She also was Blossom. Happy birthday to her.
Jennifer Connolly is fifty five, and then Sheila e is
sixty eight.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Yeah, glamorous life Yeah.

Speaker 4 (00:30):
And then Dion Warwick is eighty five. And this is
one of Matt Harris's favorite songs that he sings constantly.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
I say, stuffing your head for about a solid six months,
and you finally just shook it about three weeks ago,
and here it is again.

Speaker 4 (00:52):
Coming back for you.

Speaker 2 (00:53):
Because I was learning the dance that I didn't have.
My kids wouldn't do it for me with me, and
no one else was, Like I said, I'm not going
to learn to dance anymore in my head.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Now back in the one on TikTok, I would have
done it. It wouldn't have done well, but I would
have supported and then no longer with us. But today
would have been Frank Sinatra's birthday, blim.

Speaker 2 (01:13):
Me to the moon, let me play up there with
those dogs.

Speaker 4 (01:21):
Should I exactly, I should have picked a holiday song
of him. And then I many a time when I
stayed home sick from school. This was the sound of
childhood no longer with us.

Speaker 6 (01:34):
But Bob Barker, the one of you who is nearest
to one dollar on the wheel without going over would
be in the showcase at the end of the show.
But if you get that dollar and your bonus pin,
we will give you ten thousand dollars more.

Speaker 4 (01:49):
Oh he was just so giving, you know what I mean.
He was going to give them ten thousand more. I
always wanted to get up there and spin that wheel,
and I would spin it as hard as I could
and it would probably roll right off the stage. Yes,
I always like that is my dream. And I know
Drew Carrey has been hosting it gosh, like twenty years
or something ridiculous a long time.

Speaker 3 (02:06):
Yeah, you probably lose track of time.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
But I always wanted to be there on the Bob
Barker years. Oh yeah, with that little microphone, it is
what it is. And then finally, today is National Gingerbread
House Day. I posted a picture the other day on
my Socials Liz Luda of the most epic gingerbread house
I've ever made. If you want to see it, I'm
about to go repost it again. But it was legit
two thousand and seven last year.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Bob Barker.

Speaker 4 (02:30):
Wow, it was like almost twenty years ago.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
I mean, it's most anybody who's probably like in their
mid twenties, so all they know is Drew Carrey.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
Right.

Speaker 7 (02:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
What was so funny is I went to Western Carolina
University and there was like this they called it the
Greek Village. I don't really know what it was, but
there was a sailboat that was parked in the parking
lot the years I went to college, which would fall
in the Bob Barker years. And it turns out it's
because another student went on Prices Right and won the showcase,
showedout and had nothing to do with the boat. The sailboat,

(03:00):
so it just parked at Western like a parking line.
You drive by and you'd be like, should that be
winter rized? Like justin feel right here?

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Well, it is the Morning Mix Matt Harris, Liz Luda.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Fix for starting your day with the Morning Mix with
Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

then I High forty nine on Sunday with the Lows
and the team.

Speaker 7 (03:34):
So come on, man, it's winter, yeah winter.

Speaker 4 (03:39):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
TJ told me something interesting this morning that his neighbors
are very stealthy.

Speaker 8 (03:45):
Yes, they just moved out like they were there and
then they just told like they just told us, like, yeah,
we moved out a couple of weeks ago. We had
a house and you never saw them, never saw them
move in or anything.

Speaker 7 (03:58):
It's just like, wow, how did you do that?

Speaker 2 (04:01):
How long were they there?

Speaker 8 (04:02):
I mean for years, decades, like decades, like she bought
the house from her parents.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
So it's just lots of things to move.

Speaker 7 (04:11):
Yeah, there has to be.

Speaker 4 (04:13):
Did you move close by though, because I've been before.
I've moved and it's just been like apartments like but
across town from each other, and it's just like, Okay,
we'll take a load today, but this is take another
one tomorrow.

Speaker 7 (04:24):
You know, a decent sized house.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
Yeah, sorry, I'm coming.

Speaker 8 (04:28):
With a studio or right, Yeah, I've done that too,
Like you know, a couple of car loads and that's
your whole move.

Speaker 7 (04:34):
But this is like a full family and you know
it's wild.

Speaker 4 (04:39):
Yeah, okay, there's furnaces.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
Involved that there's some kind of stealth maneuver going on.
So they came over and said that, by the way
we moved.

Speaker 8 (04:46):
Yeah, basically, yeah, it was an interesting thing that very wild,
how sailor anything.

Speaker 7 (04:54):
Not yet.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
No, I knew.

Speaker 8 (04:57):
They had been doing like some renovations to their house.
So there's a there's a dumpster out there, but like
you know, with a renovation, that's pretty normal, right for
it to hang out for a long time even, right,
and then so didn't think anything of it, and it's
just like, oh wow, okay, maybe how did you do that?

Speaker 4 (05:14):
Through their furniture out in the dumpster And they're like
that's it, all quits with that.

Speaker 7 (05:19):
Maybe that's the move they got rid of everything.

Speaker 3 (05:20):
They just got rid everything.

Speaker 7 (05:21):
Yeah, blank slate start brand a.

Speaker 3 (05:23):
Lot of things. Anyway. Do they have trucks? Do they
own big trucks or no?

Speaker 7 (05:26):
No, it's just like a smaller suv.

Speaker 2 (05:29):
Yeah, just because you weren't there when the conversation happened,
because I'd want to probe further.

Speaker 8 (05:34):
Right, Yeah, exactly did you live with clothes or did
you wait a second, when did you do because.

Speaker 2 (05:39):
You haven't left town or your parents haven't left town
and they're home most of the day.

Speaker 4 (05:43):
Right.

Speaker 7 (05:47):
Oh, yeah, they really have.

Speaker 4 (05:48):
To step it up. They're gonna have to start being
a little nosier in the neighborhood, you know what I mean.
There's got to be somebody in your neighborhood who's always
watching through the blind.

Speaker 8 (05:56):
Oh, somebody knows the nosy lady, and then neighborhood definitely knows.

Speaker 7 (06:01):
Let's I'm not going to call her out, but.

Speaker 4 (06:04):
You have you better walk down walk down the street
to her. You gotta get those details.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Yeah, maybe he starts a ring camera somewhere.

Speaker 4 (06:10):
Yeah, cameras because I always look at his deer and right, Yeah,
it doesn't.

Speaker 7 (06:15):
Pick up the neighbors. No on your neighbors. Yeah, that's weird.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
What you could see, Like if you were directly across
and you had a ring you can see right, yeah,
or you see like you could see a big truck
go by.

Speaker 8 (06:29):
Right, but they're next door, so yeah, so you never know,
you never see it.

Speaker 7 (06:32):
Yeah, that is weird, but impressive. That's the thing.

Speaker 8 (06:36):
To mis impressive, like I don't know how many how
many like regular car loads would it take for you
to empty your house?

Speaker 4 (06:43):
This sounds like a commercial, right.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
The military. It was even like a black ops guy
that hees, not that I know of, but you know
you would, right, you wouldn't know.

Speaker 7 (06:56):
Maybe they'd have to kill me if they told me.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
And then the fact that she came over told you
or told your mom, like, so she didn't It wasn't
like she wanted it super secret, but maybe she wanted
to come over brag right, Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 8 (07:10):
Right, I secretly moved out and I mean I moved
kids under the cover of darkness.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah, exactly right, that's crazy.

Speaker 3 (07:17):
So right there you go, morning man.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Ex Mat Harrison, Liz Luda your dream job applications, they're
taking them now.

Speaker 3 (07:24):
He asked what it had to do with did have
to do.

Speaker 4 (07:26):
With Candier animals, because I feel like those are the
dreams for me.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
Wieners, weird dogs. Nope, wienermobile, Oh yeah.

Speaker 4 (07:35):
You can't have me out there, hot dog and it
in these streets.

Speaker 2 (07:37):
Oscar Mayer's open applications to drive their Wienermobile.

Speaker 7 (07:41):
Oh no, it involves driving. Oh yeah, you don't want that.

Speaker 4 (07:44):
You don't imagine watching me trying to park that I
can barely handle that a scare car.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah, I don't think they're making you parallel parking it.
Maybe hopefully it's the thirty ninth hot dogg or program.
Excuse me, one year full time role driving the twenty
seven foot Wienermobile.

Speaker 3 (08:01):
Yeah, you couldn't handle it across thirty states.

Speaker 2 (08:04):
You get a salary of thirty five six hundred, and
there will be only twelve recent graduates to get the job.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Recent college grads.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
Invited to apply through January thirty first to be the
new class of hot Doggers. It was established in nineteen
eighty eight. They say it was created a mentor young
talent prepare future leaders.

Speaker 4 (08:30):
Listen. I have gone to see the Oscar my winnermobile
so many times. Every time it is at a grocery store,
I make sure I go. But I don't think I
could handle driving it because one, I think even if
you tried to pull through a space to park, it
would still be too long.

Speaker 7 (08:46):
Yeah, definite.

Speaker 4 (08:47):
Second, I think the only music it plays on the
inside is my Blonis.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
The first day.

Speaker 7 (08:53):
Yeah, that's brutal.

Speaker 4 (08:54):
But I will say last year I found out you
can book the Wienermobile if there's availability and they're in
your area to be your ride to and from prom
or your wedding. And I want to say, missed opportunity
for me. I would have moved my wedding. I would
have waited years to get married to my husband if

(09:15):
I could have secured the Wienermobile, it would have been amazing.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
You got that on your honeymoon. Uh.

Speaker 2 (09:21):
The thing is, I'm not laughing at that. They make
thirty something. I want to say thirty five thousand, six hundred. Yeah,
I'm guessing if you walked up to the kids at
one of the appearances and be like, hey, you want
to take me drive me to work?

Speaker 3 (09:34):
I mean, there might have some liability issues, but you
know a few hundred inside.

Speaker 4 (09:39):
Have you ever been inside. They've never asked to go
inside the Wiener Mobile. Even at the grocery store. No.

Speaker 3 (09:44):
I never even went up to the Wiener Mobile. Never
even lost one.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
They hand out stickers that say I saw it and
it's got the Wienermobile on it too. You can ask
for the Weeny whistle, and then three they have like
this little rope that they put in front of the
door to stop you from going in, but like I
I mean.

Speaker 2 (10:01):
That doesn't stop me.

Speaker 4 (10:03):
And it's almost like some of them have disco balls
on the inside, and like it looks like I mean,
everything goes full circle like a nineties bowling alley, Like
the carpet inside feels very But they.

Speaker 8 (10:14):
Don't even sell hot dogs though, right, No, they don't
see cook cut dogs right.

Speaker 4 (10:19):
Well, they're only getting paid thirty six thousand dollars a year. Like,
you can't expect them to bring the grill and set
it up.

Speaker 8 (10:26):
I'm not putting this on the employee. I'm putting this
on Oscar Meyer, right selling hot dogs?

Speaker 4 (10:32):
Right, Sometimes the grocery stores will have like a promotion
where they'll do the os it I do. I've gone
to seen the weedermobile. It's the only thing I've seen
in person more than Dave Matthew's band. At this point,
I've probably seen it at least twenty times.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
Oscar Meyer said. The relished position.

Speaker 4 (10:49):
Up on those jokes.

Speaker 2 (10:51):
Opera's fancy opportunity to become official spokespeople for.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
The brand they love and sparking smiles.

Speaker 2 (10:56):
Each person that forms part of the hot Doggers and
it's expected to drive and maintain the twenty seven foot
long hot dog on wheels. With the course of a
year cross country road trip, the Doubles brand ambassadors hundreds
of events, they'll develop custom content. They'll visit upwards to
thirty states. Let's see, have.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
You ever seen one drive in the snow? I'm always
so worried for them. But imagine you have to do
the upkeep. What if you have to get an oil change, Like,
you can't fit that in an oil change bay. Not
your typical And then there's racing the Weiedermobile for.

Speaker 2 (11:28):
Somebody's Yes, you don't raise them up, you just pull
in the How these things work? Yeah, uh, the let's
say that. Yeah, you get a weekly allowance of one
hundred and fifty dollars for meals and personal travel, full
health benefits package, eighteen pace days paid time off, and
one hundred percent of hotel expenses covered.

Speaker 8 (11:48):
Okay, all right, so that does justify the pay a
little bit because you even have to run a place
for a year, right.

Speaker 4 (11:54):
Yeah, and I hope they also give you free hot
dogs and imagine all the most here's some there's like
commemorative pillows too that look like the Wienermobile that people
will resell on eBay that like used to be.

Speaker 2 (12:07):
Hot ten her smile like this.

Speaker 6 (12:09):
I know.

Speaker 4 (12:11):
It's been a lot lately, But I grew up in
Stanley County, like we didn't have a lot, all right,
and so I would just hear about these things, like
the Wienermobile in the big city at Charlotte. So when
I got older and I could drive myself, I've driven
everywhere for this wienermobile. They had it in wax Aws.

Speaker 7 (12:30):
The experience different like from time to.

Speaker 4 (12:33):
Time sometimes because the employee depends on their enthusiasm because
some of them.

Speaker 2 (12:38):
So no, it doesn't well they might have been doing
there on day three sixty year.

Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah you can tell. But yes, that's great.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
It's tired, you're not excited.

Speaker 4 (12:47):
No, it's awesome. Though, every time you.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Could hear it's the Morning Mix, Matt Harris, the lover
of Wienermobiles.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
Thanks for starting your day with the Morning Miss, It's.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
The Morning Mixed with Matt Harris.

Speaker 3 (12:57):
And if here's your latest.

Speaker 4 (13:02):
If you want Taylor Swift to go away.

Speaker 2 (13:04):
Too bad, Yeah you're the problem.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Yeah. So she was on Stephen Colbert and she was
asked about like, you know, her whole thing where she's
just kind of everywhere and everything all the time. And
if you remember back in the day, she disappeared for
like a year and a half and she like had
them move her from like her apartment to her car
by putting her inside of like trunks and stuff so
that nobody saw her because she felt like she was
just oversaturating like her presence. Right well, now she is

(13:30):
leaning into her middle aged woman. She is in her thirties,
and she's saying, you know what, I don't care. I
don't care at all, because she told, uh, Stephen Colbert basically,
I'm not going anywhere. You're sick and tired of me.
I'm not gonna go away because quote I don't want
to and I'm living for that.

Speaker 2 (13:46):
And also she's got a fiance that is playing football
right now, maybe.

Speaker 3 (13:50):
In the season.

Speaker 4 (13:51):
Yeah, yeah, that, like I mean bastak. So you know,
like sometimes you're like, okay, Taylor, all right, there you
are again, But like who cares?

Speaker 2 (13:59):
Well, I don't think you have to like be moved
through trunks. You just don't have to constantly put it.
You know, you don't have to turn out music necessarily
be in movies. But if you want to, who cares?

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, if you want to, I mean I if anything,
I think we all just wish you would take a
little bit of a vacation because you probably need some rest.
You've been very easy for.

Speaker 7 (14:16):
Your own health a little bit.

Speaker 2 (14:19):
Uh So the Panthers are in first place, Yes, you're
Carolina Panthers. That Carolina Panthers because the Tampa Bay Buccaneers
lost last night.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
They got upset last night.

Speaker 4 (14:30):
I love that were in first place, not because we won,
but because someone else.

Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah, they're still winning winning yea. And if you know,
remember going into this season, there was this online theory
that the Panthers is going to go back to the
Super Bowl because, uh it's been a playoff drought, by
the way of eight years.

Speaker 3 (14:47):
Panthers have not been in the playoffs in eight years.

Speaker 2 (14:49):
But the last time, the Ohio State Buckeyes won a
national championship and Jennifer Lopez got divorced and the Panthers
opened against Jacksonville Jaguars. Although times the Panthers reached the
Super Bowl twenty fifteen, well.

Speaker 7 (15:06):
I'll say it's not gonna win the National but they
won it this year.

Speaker 2 (15:09):
Oh so we like in the calendar, Yeah, I got ya, Okay,
so yeah, they did in the calendar year.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Okay, so all we need to happen is so they'll
go this year, and then we need to start getting
j Lo out there dating again so she get emotionally prepared.
That way she can do another divorce in a couple
of years, and that way maybe we could have back
to back super Bowl.

Speaker 2 (15:26):
Well they're County Lopez split from Judd in two thousand
and three. They went to their Super Bowl divorce Mark
Anthony twenty fourteen, went went to the Super Bowl twenty fifteen,
but you know what I mean. Yeah, and then in
January Ben Affleck broke up. Okay, all this year, all right, okay,
we're going here. The only thing is the two ars.
They went to Super Bowl to beat Jags. This time
they lost. But whatever. Anyway, the Panthers have a They

(15:48):
had a plus fifteen thousand odds to win the Super Bowl,
sixth worse than the NFL. Now they are the tenth
best Wow for US, I mean best.

Speaker 4 (15:58):
I don't want to take credit for it, but I
feel like they were really listening last year when I
said just play better. Oh yeah, and that's what they're doing.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
All they got to do is beat the Saints Sunday
and the following Sunday the Buccaneers and they're in the playoffs.

Speaker 7 (16:10):
You see that, you see I was about to give
you credit for that.

Speaker 3 (16:13):
Yeah. And one other thing you got here is about nurse.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
She says the key to making a hit song is
to just call men stupid, often in as many way
as possible.

Speaker 2 (16:23):
Checks out Story of Sitcoms for many minutes. Yeah yeah,
and story of my life.

Speaker 1 (16:30):
Thanks for starting your day with the Morning Mix with
Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

Speaker 3 (16:36):
Paula was like, I had enough.

Speaker 2 (16:38):
It's straight up, where's cool cat?

Speaker 6 (16:42):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Scot cat? What was her cool? What was her cat?
Mc scotcat mc cool cat?

Speaker 8 (16:47):
Both of them sound right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, come
on now the cartoon from the video?

Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yeah? And he uh, what happened? Did your school to
meet you cry?

Speaker 4 (16:56):
I cried at the elementary school last night because my
kid had his holiday concert, and I cry at them anyways.
But last night he was so enthusiastic. He knew every
dance move, he knew every word, and then he had
a solo that he didn't tell me about, but that
I knew about from someone else, and he got out
there and he made me so proud because he just

(17:17):
seemed he seemed so excited to be there, and I
just I lost it and I was just so proud
of him and all the other kids that were out
there singing their little hearts out. Yes I was, Yes,
I was, I really was, and it just made me
so had.

Speaker 3 (17:34):
Best right.

Speaker 4 (17:35):
No, No, I'm competitive for me, not for my kid,
because I have alo have a solo, and he had
a solo. And I was so proud of him because
it was in Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas
is You, and it was the opening line that I
don't want a lot for Christmas. There's just one thing
I need. And I was like, oh, buddy, that's almost
like two sentences there, and he opened it up and

(17:58):
I was just really and excited for him. I did.
I did because I don't have stage fright pretty I
mean not really like I get nervous, but like it's
an excited nervous and I thought that he was similar
to me, and then I found out last year, No,
he just gets stage fright. And so we've been working
on that about like getting up and speaking in front

(18:19):
of people and you know, like overcoming that and that's
a normal thing for a kid.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
For an adult, yeah, definitely speak he's one of the
most biggest fears people are.

Speaker 4 (18:28):
Yeah, and so he's a third grader. So the fact
that like he auditioned for this, didn't tell me got
it and then in practice has been singing it and
then got up in front of all these people and
did it. I was so I was so proud of him.
I was so proud.

Speaker 8 (18:43):
And you showed the video and I don't know that
I've ever seen a full class so into the performance.

Speaker 4 (18:51):
Oh they were.

Speaker 7 (18:52):
I don't know.

Speaker 8 (18:53):
It just seemed like when I was coming up, it
was just like, yeah, we have to do this.

Speaker 3 (18:58):
What great is it?

Speaker 4 (18:59):
He's in third grade, but it was second third graders
and they were all in there, dancing and singing their
little hearts out. And I don't want to say the
name of the school my kid goes to, because I
just I don't know that feels. But I will say
a huge shout out to his music teacher. She did
an amazing job. All the specials teachers. I mean, they
really went above and beyond. Maybe a half hour. Yeah,

(19:23):
it was it was five or six songs, but it
was all it was all pop like Christmas music, so
it was all I want for Christmas is you run
rund Reindeer. They did the Paul McCartney simply wonderful Christmas time.
I've never seen a group of kids sing that much,
so it's just really it was fun and you know,
it was good vibes. I love the neighborhood I live in,

(19:43):
and all the parents were just it was just it
was a great night.

Speaker 2 (19:46):
And away there's always some knucklehead with an iPad that's
holding it up over their head.

Speaker 4 (19:53):
That I did feel bad though, because I knew his
solo was coming up. I knew it was the fifth song,
and so like I like looked around. I was like,
I'm really sorry, really really really sorry, and then I
kind of like tried to crouch down in the aisle
as much as I could, and I knew he was
at the beginning, and as soon as he was done
with this soul, I just like bolted back to my
seat and sat down, like I'm sorry if I blocked anyone,
that's acceptable to get this one. And then my mom

(20:14):
came great, which she came and supported, which was huge,
but she can't drive in the dark, So then I
had to drive from Gas all the way out to
indian Land, South Carolina to drop her office a lot.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
Yes, yes, it was fun, it went great. Good for you.
Paula Duel's cat was MC cat. Yes, Yes, Morning Mix
Matt Harris, Liz Luda is quirky and looks at social
media forty hours a day, so you don't have to.

Speaker 4 (20:39):
And I discovered I'm gonna get scammed by AI. It's inevitable,
it's going to happen, and it's gonna happen a lot sooner.

Speaker 2 (20:44):
Than I thought.

Speaker 7 (20:45):
It was.

Speaker 3 (20:45):
Talking about it for you, yeah, yeah, Like.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
I always thought like, oh, I need to like help
my mom make sure that she's not clicking on some
leaks she doesn't need to be. And now I'm like,
it's me, I'm the problem. And it is because AI
has gotten so advanced recently. There's been these different updates.
If you know about Google Gemini, there was this banana
update and now AI. They have like these watermarks that

(21:08):
they're putting on the things that you create, but only
their system recognizes their own watermark. So if you use
a different AI than say the Gemini on Google, Gemini
might not recognize it as AI. So a lot of
the different things where you had been able to tell
before are gone. And now they can do hands and
they can write out languages and they're not messing up

(21:31):
the letters, and so it's getting very scary. And yesterday
I was scrolling through TikTok and I saw this stupid,
stupid video and it was a profile called Baby's Dogs
Cats And I should have known. I should have known.
They were bantering for emotions and it says this, We've
had this idea of dogs choosing their humans for a

(21:51):
very long time, and we finally decided to explore it
as a social experiment. The reaction was overwhelming. The whole
world saw it. Almost everyone who watched it said the
same thing, This is how it should be. And so
it looks like an open room, all these people sitting
in like folding metal chairs, and they bring in shelter
pets and they let the dog choose the owner. And

(22:13):
these people are crying as their dog is like choosing
them out of a crowd. And there's one part where
there is this old man and this old Golden retriever
with a white face like all the fur you know what,
you know, when like dogs get older and they look
like they've been like they got like powdered sugar or
some on their face looks like and it just approaches

(22:33):
the old man and he starts crying, and the dog
looks so exciting, and then I started crying, and I
was like, oh my gosh, this is so beautiful. They
should do more of this. And then I opened the
comments section and it was filled with people that, thank goodness,
are smarter than me, that are like, AI's gone too far,
and I said, excuse me, what? And then I started
seeing where people had taken screenshots for tiny little inaccuracies

(22:57):
in the video that showed and proof that it was AI.
And it wasn't quite as good as it needs to be,
but it was good enough to get me.

Speaker 2 (23:05):
Okay, Well, here's the the plus side of it, or
the harmless side of it.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Right there.

Speaker 2 (23:11):
They're not asking you to donate to some fund or something, because.

Speaker 4 (23:14):
Yeah, but in social media they're making money.

Speaker 2 (23:16):
They made money. You got a feeling, you got a
great feeling. You've got this emotion, whether it's real or not.
You didn't like you join a political party or march.
You just got this good, warm feeling.

Speaker 4 (23:31):
But this is the thing. If they can use it
to give me a good feeling. Then there's the ones
that are going to a bad feeling. They're out there too,
that's the ones that are going to get me.

Speaker 7 (23:39):
This one.

Speaker 4 (23:40):
I'm mad at this one because it's the first time
that I one hundred percent just got taken for a ride.
I had no idea and then had to be told
by someone else that is Ai and go, oh no,
that's what you did for having emotions.

Speaker 2 (23:53):
No exactly what you were on a slippery slope anyway,
because you tend to believe almost everything you see on
on social media.

Speaker 4 (23:59):
I mean not really orange Shark. There's a big one
that went around for always keeping me and.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
I'm like, I don't know about that. So you're you're
going to say you're the kind that they're going after.

Speaker 4 (24:09):
I am. I know, mister.

Speaker 2 (24:11):
I don't believe diddaly do and I have no emotions
because I'm dead inside, so right right thought it would
work out for me. It's gotten so good, and I'm
scared this Basin Creek Retirement Village, Uh did an AI thing?
Now this is a little bit more, I guess disturbing
because it's a TikTok account and they want you to
use and come and do their retirement village right, and

(24:35):
they did all these things with AI. These old people
like doing trick or trade and having parties and none
of them are real that.

Speaker 4 (24:44):
Okay, so the dog video is the second video. AI.

Speaker 2 (24:54):
I'm my daughter shows me constantly these videos of like,
look at these guys I.

Speaker 3 (24:58):
Was hanging out with. It's not really guys. I take
it outway.

Speaker 4 (25:02):
And how the youth can find it so funny, how
they can just be like, ah, trick you. And I'm
just like, no, you did trick me. And I'm very
scared now, I'm very scared.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Morning Mixed Matt Harris, Liz Luda, producer TJ. And there
was a survey that said sixty seven percent of people
had been into rewaring socks from time to time. Thirty
percent only rewaar them maybe once. Twenty two percent socks
and multiple days.

Speaker 4 (25:27):
That's disgusting.

Speaker 2 (25:28):
Now I don't do multiple days, but I have said
if I put them on, they're only on for a
few hours and I don't get sweaty, and I have
a superpower of my feet and never steak recognized that
you're aware of Yeah, No, I've asked I've shoved feet
in people's noses, so I will if i only wear
it for a couple hours and I'm not working out

(25:49):
or something, I'll rewear them. We all think I'm nuts,
And people said they think I'm nuts. So the science.

Speaker 4 (25:56):
Is in okay, because I had some people we talk
about this before, and some people were defending you, and
they were like, wool and other things are made to
be worn multiple times, to which I say, we are
all wearing synthetic fibers. And here, let's be honest. I
know that we are buying our socks at the same
place we're buying our groceries and getting our oil changed, right,

(26:16):
we are not getting it fresh off the sheep.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Well, sometimes I'll do it if it's a like a
no show sock, but I might wear for today.

Speaker 5 (26:23):
I might.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Then I'll throw it in my running areasuck and then
reuse as a running sock later.

Speaker 7 (26:27):
Okay, give me.

Speaker 8 (26:27):
That makes more sense to use it for to re
wear it when you're going to exercise.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
Okay, all right, give me.

Speaker 3 (26:34):
I'm getting coming along.

Speaker 7 (26:35):
I can get on board with that.

Speaker 2 (26:36):
Science says stop it. It says our feet are microscopic
rainforests of bacteria and fungi a thousand different species. Foot
skin contain some of the highest amounts of sweatlands and
human body. So what they perform those warm moist areas
between your toes. Yeah, the waste produced by microbes are

(26:57):
white feet becomes smelly, but again not smelly. Socks not
only trap your sweat, but they also collect bacteria from
the environment floors, the home, at the gym. But I
don't understand that one because I have shoes off, right,
I mean, if I didn't wear them outside when.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
You're at home, you're picking up bacteria off your floor
and then you're trapping it in the sock.

Speaker 2 (27:16):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, but it says like grime from
ground outside whatever. They so they act that they looked
at the microbial content of clothing which had only been
worn once, and that includes my clock or socks, T
shirts that sort of thing, and socks. Highest microbiole count

(27:38):
of all kinds of clothing eight to nine million bacteria
per sample a white T shirt eighty three thousand. Wow,
that big of a difference. Wow, So wash your feet regularly.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I do that.

Speaker 2 (27:49):
Yeah, change your socks daily daily. That's a full that
says to me. A full twelve hours. Oh wow, but
they do say hot water. You don't need hot water
clear socks.

Speaker 4 (28:00):
I'm sorry, back it up. Why don't you need hot
water nowadays?

Speaker 2 (28:03):
The way that laundry detergent has made well, I mean,
you don't need to use hot water. I don't believe.
I know you have a real stinky issue.

Speaker 4 (28:11):
Maybe yeah, like okay, all right, it depends on how
hot the water is. But like, that's how soap has
always worked, is the way that bonds the polar But now.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Yeah, but they've redesigned it. Side note. I did a
little dit Oh.

Speaker 4 (28:22):
My gosh, de die, you're looking into the bonds between
soap and water.

Speaker 2 (28:28):
They sell anti microvile socks.

Speaker 4 (28:30):
I guess, yeah, but those don't work that well. I've
worn those.

Speaker 2 (28:32):
They say, iron your socks. No way, no way.

Speaker 4 (28:36):
I don't do that.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
I guess it's obviously to kill.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
Yeah, I never thought about it.

Speaker 8 (28:41):
I store my socks in the freezer. Does that helps.

Speaker 4 (28:44):
I'll do that with my I've done that with funky
shoes before, where I just put them.

Speaker 3 (28:49):
You must keep your jeans in there too.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
I don't do.

Speaker 3 (28:51):
I just washed my chee Washington. I don't do that.

Speaker 4 (28:54):
No.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
Oh, so you draw your socks outdoors. Imagine seeing somebody lying. Yeah,
come on, what wait, Charles Dickens, the UV radiation is
what is better for it, so son is better for
it than whatever.

Speaker 4 (29:08):
But no, I guess I'm funky because I've been using
a dryer.

Speaker 2 (29:12):
Yeah, I do use a dryer, but I am not
I'm not irony, but again, I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
Maybe I'm filthy.

Speaker 4 (29:18):
You are pretty gross.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
Yeah, yes, I am just morning mixed my hairs. Liz
Luda and uh, I'm going to tell you some thoughts
that people had on the old interweb about American traditions
they believe will fade away. And you can tell me
whether you're happy to see him go or bummer. Okay,
class reunions and you went to one.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
I did go to one. I can understand why they're
fading though, and it's because of social media. See where
everybody is, what they've been doing.

Speaker 2 (29:45):
Yeah, And they say that the one side is that
you know, it's more you see what they're doing. And
the other side is though you're more connected, so maybe
you're more likely to go because you kind of kept
contact with people.

Speaker 4 (29:57):
I think most of them defriended me, So I think
that's why. And I was just like, I haven't seen you.
I don't even know what you look like.

Speaker 2 (30:03):
Christmas cards of course, Yeah, I didn't mind.

Speaker 4 (30:05):
The other day I got them in the mail. Okay,
all right, I'm proud of myself.

Speaker 2 (30:09):
Thank you cards they say they're simply behandled by a text.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
For the most part.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
Now, yeah, I do thank you cards, but probably maybe.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
Not as much as you used to.

Speaker 7 (30:19):
Like do you make do you make THEO do it?

Speaker 4 (30:23):
No?

Speaker 7 (30:25):
Did you have to do it as a kid though?

Speaker 4 (30:27):
No?

Speaker 2 (30:27):
No, okay, I made my kids do it for a while,
and then it got to the point where they.

Speaker 3 (30:33):
Did it for like birthday parties and all the kids. Yeah,
but then like with grandparents, it was just a video.

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Oh yeah, you do the video thing. When I was
in college, though, I met somebody else that did thank
you notes that I remember the first time I got
one how special I felt. I was like, that was
so kind, and so then I tried to like recreate it.

Speaker 3 (30:50):
Yeah, I didn't.

Speaker 2 (30:52):
Massive gender reveal events they say that because of.

Speaker 4 (30:56):
The too many have gone to a ride.

Speaker 2 (30:58):
Well not more than like the reputation because they're cringe
you know, Yeah, they're kind of a trope now when
people make fun you know that.

Speaker 4 (31:04):
Yeah, I didn't want somebody start like a wildfire or.

Speaker 3 (31:07):
Something things like that.

Speaker 4 (31:08):
I did the It was like opiniata, but you like
pulled the strings from it and then like confetti came out.
I was it. There you go, and it's just me
and my husband.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
There was no there Okay, so that would not fall
under a massive gender review. Uh. The they called agricultural
based school year year round schools. It will be the
thing I do like that shorter summer with.

Speaker 8 (31:36):
Longer breaks like I would have loved that I think
throughout the year.

Speaker 2 (31:40):
Yeah, at least a shorter summer long man. Somebody said,
are Baked Sale still a thing?

Speaker 4 (31:47):
No, because I don't trust you. I don't kid.

Speaker 2 (31:51):
I mean Black Friday, I get it right, that's kinda Uh.
The Miss America badget, well, that's kind of god.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Hey, you seem universe. They did one. I want to say.
She was from Sweden and she dressed like a salmon.
So some of that stuff still.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
Goes viral, just viral, but it's not going to be
like her watching.

Speaker 4 (32:08):
It was magnificent. She opened up like a It's like
a whole dress and it looked like a silver fish.
And she opened it up and on the inside she
was that pink salmon color. You could tell on her face.
She's like, don't look awkward, don't look awkward. Don't look awkward.

Speaker 3 (32:22):
What did the one do?

Speaker 2 (32:22):
She did death metal or something recently? Oh oh yeah, yeah,
I bet again, that's gonna be a TikTok thing. Yeah,
you have ten million people watching it or whatever. Let's
see what else they think, large scale weddings. But I
think that's just gonna be a fat it comes, ghost comes,
and ghost comes to definitely, depending on the economy. Uh.

Speaker 7 (32:40):
Block parties, Oh yeah, we had those when I was
growing up.

Speaker 3 (32:44):
Yeah, I don't. Probably some neighborhoods still do it. Maybe not.

Speaker 2 (32:47):
I don't think the neighbors hang.

Speaker 7 (32:48):
I bet they do. I bet some dude.

Speaker 2 (32:50):
Yeahah yeah, but I think it's probably not like it was.
Definitely so it's baiting baiting.

Speaker 4 (32:55):
Yeah, not the neighborhood I live in now, but the
neighborhood I lived in before that, they they did, like
it was usually like a Halloween one or something where
they would like, you know, people would bring food and
they'd block off the road. But that was about it.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
Someone did say Halloween trick or treating.

Speaker 4 (33:08):
Oh they do big at Malholly. I'm not even gonna play.

Speaker 2 (33:11):
I feel like got places going to trunk retreating something
like bobbing for apples.

Speaker 3 (33:15):
Yeah that's all that's just gross.

Speaker 2 (33:16):
Yeah, misshift night and now we got the you know
the cameras are the Oh yeah, true, Okay, you can't
just toilet paper someone.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
For starting your day with the Morning Mix with Matt
Harris and Liz Luda.

Speaker 3 (33:30):
There are six types of gift givers, which are you?

Speaker 2 (33:32):
But also this gift concierge says being a good gift
givers about listening and paying attention. I encourage my clients
to share as much information as possible about the gift recipient.
Can you give me the smallest detail that sparks an idea?
So I would say that there's a I don't one
hundred percent agree with that because I do listen and
pay attention.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
I just don't remember.

Speaker 2 (33:53):
No, yeah, yeah, it makes sense. That's because so just sing.

Speaker 3 (34:00):
Being a good gif is listening because I do. I
pay attention to people, I just don't remember it.

Speaker 4 (34:05):
You give me a Halloween decoration back in July, which
was perfect because it was July when my Halloween decorations
typically go out right mean girls, and it was pink
and it was keatsy.

Speaker 6 (34:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (34:15):
But I've also done things got to like an ice
cream maker for a lactose in tolerant couples.

Speaker 3 (34:19):
I do things like that.

Speaker 4 (34:21):
Well, they could use lactape, they would have been fine.

Speaker 2 (34:23):
Uh the uh Okay, So you have these six different types.

Speaker 7 (34:26):
One is the.

Speaker 2 (34:26):
Materialist, a status conscious shoppers can buy the hippiest or
hardest to get trending item. It doesn't have to be
super expensive, but it's trend like, it's the one hard
to get to. That's not me most shiny thing. Now
they also say, don't think that's just because it's this
expensive thing or it's just this newest shiny thing that
it doesn't come from the heart.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
Yeah, because that's just what some people. That's that's there.

Speaker 4 (34:50):
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with that. I just know I'm
not that person. I didn't get a Tickle Me Elmo
until twenty nineteen. Yeah, I mean it was a little
behind the trench.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
I did one on only Fans fan.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
The sentimentalist, okay, is that you that's me a gift
that's so thoughtful and might make you cry. Yep, you
know of custom painting with your favorite song, gold pendent
with your children's initials, that kind of thing.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
But it varies from person to person. What type of
gift giver I am, Oh, okay, yeah, sentimentalist, Like with
my husband, I'm going to get him something that I
know would really mean a lot. And then there's some
other people where I just I'm known as the practical
gift giver in my family, so like whatever.

Speaker 2 (35:28):
The sentimentalist cares deeply about the feeling the gifts evoke
far more than the brand name and no sort of thing. Now,
they said, the drawback is when you have one of
those people, even you try to give a gift back
to them, you really have.

Speaker 3 (35:39):
To up your game.

Speaker 2 (35:40):
You feel like a slacker because you try to match
the emotion if you're not an emotional type person. Yeah,
the projector buy something they'd actually want for themselves, or
get you something to subtly encourage a lifestyle change.

Speaker 7 (35:53):
Oh, that's rough.

Speaker 2 (35:55):
It could be somebody like Anna or Uncle got to
be you the purpose driven life because they think you're
a slacker, or a gym membership, just somebody that thinks
there's a little lot of you've.

Speaker 3 (36:04):
Had that up in your life.

Speaker 4 (36:05):
Oh gosh, yeah. No. One year for Christmas, my parents
got me a piece of exercise machinery. And when I
was not happy because I was eleven, they were like,
what's wrong? Yeah, and I was like, you just called
me fat, right, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (36:19):
If you didn't ask for it. It can be seen as
a hint to lose weight. But the projector doesn't always
have an unkind ulterior motive with their gifts, though.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
I think my kid, I think most kids though they're
a projector because like my kid, he'll get me like
a fidget spinner. You give them the ten dollars to
go into the store and he can buy whatever he
wants for mommy and daddy, and you're like, oh slime,
mommy's favorite.

Speaker 3 (36:41):
Damn you Yeah, give his book of World Records.

Speaker 4 (36:44):
Oh how did you know?

Speaker 2 (36:46):
I see if this one person gives example, they could
get offended because their in laws would give them cookbooks
all the time, and they realized it wasn't a commentaty
in the cooking. It was that they loved cooking and
they wanted to share them. Oh okay, and then talk
about what you've made with you know, after it came out, like,
you know, you have to procrastinator.

Speaker 8 (37:03):
Me.

Speaker 2 (37:04):
Yeah, time slips away, distracted or whatever. Mine isn't distract
the press procrastinator. Sometimes I'm I analyzed too much. Oh
I analyzed overthinking Okay, that's not good enough, that's not
good enough for that, and then they overspend because they
waited too long. Yes, thank you. The listener, this is
the one who keeps the notes app of all the

(37:24):
things that people say, I'm gonna say that's the rememberer
because I.

Speaker 3 (37:28):
Have been accused of you just don't listen.

Speaker 4 (37:30):
Listen, I just.

Speaker 7 (37:30):
Forget, right, Does that make sense? Yes, I'll don't forget
to put it in my notes.

Speaker 8 (37:36):
Yes, like, oh, I don't want to do this while
I'm talking to you, but and then I'll forget.

Speaker 3 (37:42):
And then finally, the convenience seeker.

Speaker 4 (37:45):
They stopped at the gas station on the way there,
and you're like, wow, a slim Jim, how'd you know.

Speaker 2 (37:51):
A recycled but new scarf that they haven't you know,
didn't open since last Christmas.

Speaker 4 (37:56):
The scented candle that's made all the rounds of every
every this Christmas party.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
Now, he said, it's easy to paint that person as
lazy or indifferent, but they knew enough to give you something.
He says, years ago, I had a boyfriend and this
would be overwhelmed by choices, so he feared a bad
gift would resulting a breakup or judgment, so he would
always default to something.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
That seemed lazy.

Speaker 2 (38:20):
Chocolates, sucked animals, something like that. And she said, you know,
you got to tell these people it's not a gauntlet,
and so these people probably need a list. Yeah, it's
not necessarily that they're lazy.

Speaker 3 (38:32):
It just like I don't know what to do.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
But yet, if you have a person in your life,
is a bad gift, gift or I think you've got
to help them, yes, because it's not like they're trying.

Speaker 3 (38:40):
To be jerked. Okay, I'm talking about myself. They just aren't.

Speaker 7 (38:44):
Good at it right.

Speaker 2 (38:45):
The Morning makes Man Harrison is Luda and a producer TJ.
I just told you that there's this thing going around
that raccoons are starting to become shuter. They call him
self domesticated.

Speaker 4 (38:55):
Yeah, their snouts are getting a little shorter, the faces
are getting a little more adorable, the eyes are getting bigger.

Speaker 2 (39:01):
Ears are floppier, Yeah, they're getting less fearful of humans,
they're dampering their fight or flight, and they have strong
intelligence compared to primates. And so these are some predictions
and it's gonna take a while. Yeah, not that people
don't have some of these things, like some people do
have raccoons, but it's still gonna take years and decades
of breathing and whatnot.

Speaker 4 (39:20):
And laws to change in some states.

Speaker 2 (39:25):
Foxes and certain types of foxes in parts of the world,
like parts of Russia are becoming domesticated. They are changing,
it's still gonna take decades.

Speaker 4 (39:35):
They look like fancy cats now.

Speaker 2 (39:38):
Some people have, but as far as being mainstream, it's
gonna take decades, decades, like maybe sixty years or something.

Speaker 7 (39:45):
Like when you see them at the brewery.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
Yeah, right, right, that's what these guys are predicting. Anyway.
The capy beras l.

Speaker 4 (39:52):
I love a capy bera. I that's on my bucket list.
I want to touch a capy bera. So if you
have a capy bera farm or if you have, please
let me know.

Speaker 2 (40:01):
They say they're docile and social and they'll be able
to breed to get different kinds of coats.

Speaker 3 (40:07):
Oh that they you know various.

Speaker 2 (40:09):
It's the next doodle do oh, Like yeah, whatever, cap.

Speaker 4 (40:14):
Doodle will be the next thing, because there's all those
different versions of a labor doodle, all the different doodles.

Speaker 2 (40:19):
And again, these it's gonna take decades and decades and
decades or some of this stuff. Skunks, they'll be able
to they're gonna be breed them without scent glands.

Speaker 4 (40:29):
And there's some that naturally don't have the scent glands
that they're already like yeah, I.

Speaker 2 (40:33):
Mean again, like some of these are, but we're talking
about when they will become.

Speaker 3 (40:37):
Yeah, like you're right, non exotic pets.

Speaker 2 (40:39):
They're right, right, it's just a cat with a stripe
and skunks and naturalists tend to enjoy human company. So
but they'll they'll breed them for that purpose and have
no scent gland. Okay, many pigs have been around, but
they're not really many. So these it says they said
about forty years away from having pigs that will grow
no larger than forty no.

Speaker 3 (40:59):
Matter how much you fed.

Speaker 2 (41:00):
Oh wow, So to be back, they say they're guessing
forty years.

Speaker 4 (41:03):
But to everybody else who says the minipig is adorable, right,
now we do not have that genetic structure. It is
going to get larger. The only way you can keep
a pig or a hog small is if you do
not feed it and you start it. And that is
not ideal. Cool, that is not a situation that we
want to create. I'm very anti the Minipeg.

Speaker 3 (41:18):
Yeah, I know, somebody to go on.

Speaker 7 (41:20):
I know, I know, I know.

Speaker 4 (41:21):
I'm just saying right now in twenty five Yes, do
not lean into that. No, it's not it's not a
tea cup.

Speaker 2 (41:27):
And that's ai image wildcats like specifically oscelots.

Speaker 4 (41:33):
Yeah, oslots.

Speaker 2 (41:34):
Yeah, they are loyal, they have calmed temperaments and so
that again they'll eventually be either self domesticating or bread
to be.

Speaker 4 (41:42):
That kind of I like them because they talk ocelot
like me.

Speaker 2 (41:48):
I would like to lost a little morning makes Ma
Harrison Liz Luda. Liz Luda is a Christmas card sender.
I don't TJ now, no, they you know it is.
It is definitely a gender thing, like as a divorced guy.

Speaker 3 (42:05):
No one's expecting christ definitely.

Speaker 4 (42:07):
I don't think anyone really expects Christmas cards from anyone anyways.
But even last year I tried to like, do your
Christmas cards for you? Because I made one that was
like from all three of us and send them out
year screwed us out. I sure did, because I was like,
I don't think you appreciated the handcramps. I got it.

Speaker 2 (42:23):
I did. Twenty seven percent of people are sending out
cards this year.

Speaker 4 (42:27):
That seems high to me.

Speaker 7 (42:28):
It does seem, honestly, but.

Speaker 3 (42:30):
That's all ages.

Speaker 2 (42:33):
Boomers sixty five on old are living in the Northeast,
and gen Zers living in the South least likely to
do it.

Speaker 4 (42:41):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (42:42):
People were also asked how they feel about receiving other
people's holiday cards. I love them thirty percent, so they
love it.

Speaker 4 (42:50):
I think it makes great holiday decorp as well. I
loved when I was a kid, because it was the nineties,
we would like put them all up on the wall
and there were so many of them and I loved that.
And then it's like over the years they've dwindled down
one and more and I only got one this year
and it was from my aunt and I I wish
are you about to make me a happy A happy
Christmas card?

Speaker 3 (43:10):
I miss there. You go have a good day a
piece of paper.

Speaker 8 (43:13):
I'll hang that, see I like a receiving one if
it's different, if it's not just like you bought a
pack of forty and you're sending them out because you
signed them, Like yes that I have no interest because.

Speaker 3 (43:25):
For a while there I stole an idea that my
cousin had done it.

Speaker 2 (43:27):
Those idea I would get ones like that, but I
would have thought bubbles coming out of like Jesus and
the show with some wacky jokes.

Speaker 7 (43:35):
Oh see, I like that.

Speaker 2 (43:36):
Yeah, so anyway people, and very some people would not
say so wacky. Thirty percent love it, at thirty percent
like it so sixty percent or like yeah, thirty one
percent don't give a crap, I'd go into that, but
three percent.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
Just they don't like it at all.

Speaker 2 (43:53):
Now you're I guess we'll call these millennials thirty to
forty four about the same. Thirty three percent love it,
and then another twenty eight percent like okay with it.
The difference that the younger people like it's just as
much as older people, but men and women are different.
Thirty nine percent of women love it, twenty percent of men.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
I do feel sad though, for like I sound like
an old person. I'm only in my thirties. But when
I'm like, I feel sad for the kids though, because
like they'll never know the excitement of like going to
check the mail and there's all those like fun envelopes,
you know what I mean. I loved that. I thought
that was so cool to like, I don't know, because
like my parents will let me open them. That was
like the only mail I got to.

Speaker 2 (44:32):
Yeah. No, well you know, but you'll never you didn't
feel the excitement of roadblocks.

Speaker 3 (44:37):
That's true.

Speaker 7 (44:38):
You didn't feel that excite.

Speaker 4 (44:40):
Turn out I mean comparable, right, but.

Speaker 2 (44:43):
I mean I do not.

Speaker 4 (44:44):
I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (44:44):
I don't want the one just a basic card then
just say like uncle Phil or something.

Speaker 8 (44:48):
Like, I would even know if you're doing it every year,
like like your thought bubbles and stuff.

Speaker 7 (44:53):
I would even look forward to them my cousins.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
Right, Yeah, it's not wacky.

Speaker 2 (44:57):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (44:57):
I used to write a personalized note inside of it.

Speaker 8 (45:00):
Good, But yeah, that is a step up from just
the generic you just signed your name.

Speaker 3 (45:04):
Like I know people keep those things.

Speaker 4 (45:06):
I do.

Speaker 7 (45:06):
Yeah, that's too much like if just.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
With somebody signed their name, no note in or anything
even Yeah, it feels.

Speaker 4 (45:10):
Like my grandma. Yeah, but I don't know.

Speaker 2 (45:13):
I might have a friend who's emptying out somebody's you know,
relative or whatever.

Speaker 3 (45:17):
They're hoarding tendencies.

Speaker 2 (45:19):
Yeah, suitcases full of Christmas cards and many like pull
it up and like the first is like I don't
even know who that is. And many of them just
assigned signature.

Speaker 7 (45:29):
Yeah, no, I'm not keeping that at all.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
See, I always save them because, like I mean, I'm
getting older, so people have passed in my life, and
I'm always like, I'll get a tattoo that I don't
have a single tattoo in my body. But if I
did that, I would look like a doodle bear just
to be all.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Over my picture of the signature. How about that?

I'm glad she's got some revenue coming in as I
was really worried about her.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
Man versus Baby mister Bean Rowan Atkinson a little slapstick.
You know, it's the typical mister bean stuff. I don't
think he's mister Bean. He's had four episodes on Netflix.
Here's one for you Prime Video and Video MERV. It's
a terrier that is so heartbreakingly cute. He could probably

(49:06):
negotiate world peace.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (49:08):
Here he is trying to cope with all his humans
messy breakups. So Zoey Deschanel is in it and Charlie
Cox is her ex and they share custody. The MOPI

Speaker 4 (49:22):
The other things that you gotta put on their HBO Max,
Did you get the Sister Wives? Because we're still on

Part one?

Speaker 2 (49:32):
But I was doing this for you the Hallmark lineup.
When's the third? Yeah, I guess tomorrow? A sweet holiday romance,
Sweet s U I T how about this? It's Christmas
Week when Sabrina arrives at the iconic Grand Fairbanks Hotel
in New York City. She's got a position to write

(49:53):
a memoir at a struggling writer. She can't believe her
lucks or she In the hotel, she meets this guy
who she believes is like a fancy king or something,
but she he thinks she's a fancy queen.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
But neither are.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Each other alight, and you can imagine the wackiness that
goes on.

Speaker 4 (50:13):
She disappointment when they both realize they're gonna go home
to a studio apartment. Yes, but now they fills with
love in Christmas magic.

Speaker 2 (50:21):
But then on the next one, the fourteenth Oi to
the world. Okay, when waterlines break at the Temple Beth Synagogue,
it leaves its members in need of a place to
celebrate Hanukah. Across the street, Saint Joseph's Episcopal Church quick
to open its doores. Not for shared space for the holidays,
because the last nighte of Honkah Christmas Eve all the

(50:42):
same day, but the reverend Rabbi they do this joint service.
But that means Nikki, this is Saint Joseph's youth choir
director teams up with Jake, a substitute youth choir director,
and they were former high school rivals.

Speaker 7 (50:57):
Oh, they pull it together through hijinks.

Speaker 2 (51:00):
I bet no power of song.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
Dance.

Speaker 3 (51:05):
So I threw those in for you because the titles
of descriptions are so.

Speaker 1 (51:08):
Stupid for starting your day with The Morning Mix with
Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

Speaker 2 (51:16):
Lis harassing whatever my fly was down?

Speaker 4 (51:20):
Hi, you harassed me.

Speaker 2 (51:23):
I did do a little wriggle when I saw it.

Speaker 7 (51:25):
Oh my gosh, there's nothing you can see.

Speaker 2 (51:26):
When a fly out of the flyest of guy's fly
is down.

Speaker 3 (51:29):
Really, I mean it's not.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
It just looks weird, right, Yeah, yeah, because it even
if I do have underwear on, but even if I didn't,
you still don't even see the underwear.

Speaker 4 (51:38):
Anything. You make this less word. I just was gonna
let you know, because otherwise you'd probably run through the
whole day like it. And I just saw it and
was like, oh, I friend, you should be a good friend.

Speaker 2 (51:48):
But name, I can't even remember the last time I
pulled it down.

Speaker 3 (51:51):
So we'll see.

Speaker 2 (51:53):
Oh my gosh, the relationship killer young daters.

Speaker 3 (51:56):
The swag gap, you know what that is.

Speaker 4 (51:59):
Yeah, one has got extra swag in the eyes that
he doesn't.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
But yeah, stylistic imbalance. Okay, So this guy said he,
you know, dressed a certain way for a recent day.
I mean, this happens for a decades, you said, have
a name, right, He didn't dress. He arrived in a
thrifted orange zip up hoodie, camouflaged crup tea boot cut jeans.
He said that was perfect for this this jazz scene,
and letting place his date he'd been seeing for a

(52:23):
couple of months, should have been black blue lemon leggings,
an oversized gray sweatshirt and dirty Nike Air Forces casual
sheek didn't go over well, so it didn't match the
vibe of the bar and took it as a personal slight.
And he says his quote is you want to look
good for the person you with, not throw up a
jama pants and crocs.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
Yeah, I mean, who cares?

Speaker 2 (52:47):
I know?

Speaker 4 (52:47):
Right?

Speaker 2 (52:48):
The swag gap is a term I refers to a
fundamental difference in the way two people carry and present themselves.
And it does go.

Speaker 3 (52:55):
Sometimes beyond the you know, just the right.

Speaker 2 (53:00):
That's more of I'm dressed for a cocktail hour and
my parents tressed for a remote work day, or my
partner's ress for a remote work day situation.

Speaker 4 (53:08):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (53:08):
There's all these things on social media about these flashing
signals and signs. And there's an internet meme about a
woman in heels and men and crocs, and they talked
about it. Back in the day, Haley Bieber was out
and with a strapless dressed with heels.

Speaker 4 (53:23):
So dress up. And then Justin Bieber would just show
up grey hood like a beanie a hoodie yeah, yes,
slides with socks on.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
He had crocs. By the way, you look crocs and
white socks.

Speaker 4 (53:34):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (53:34):
And the New York Post it's not too late to
say sorry, and browns for a divorce. And then they
talk about how Benny Blanco and Selena Gomez, Uh, kind
of of a different thing that were Jimmy fallon. She's
black dress and heels and he was rip jeans on,
button shirt. So anyway, that is it is.

Speaker 8 (53:54):
The in the Bennie and Selena thing like that they're
dressed kind of like their professions, right, you know she's
an actress and he's a music producer.

Speaker 3 (54:03):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (54:04):
Yeah, I think, like, obviously don't show up in pajama
pants to like a fancy event, but other than that,
like who cares. I think that's something I've learned as
I've gotten older. When I was younger, I used to
make sure that I was dressed like really nice for dates.

Speaker 3 (54:18):
And now, well you're not in a date, I mean
have your husband.

Speaker 4 (54:21):
No, no, I have a husband now, But I mean.

Speaker 2 (54:23):
Like, but also, how many times you hear don't you
can't give up or whatever? Right, Like guys especially like
well you're not taking care of yourself now that you're married,
or you're still wearing your old T shirts. So it's
like who cares? But I hear a lot of people
do care. Yeah, because I hear it all if you
hear it all the time about like that they just
gave up, they don't do this or that.

Speaker 4 (54:42):
Have you worn a pair of crocs though? Have you
just taken them on town? Because once I got to them,
you know what I mean, like your life has changed?

Speaker 3 (54:50):
Which was that always your look?

Speaker 5 (54:51):
Though?

Speaker 4 (54:52):
No?

Speaker 3 (54:52):
I mean before you got married?

Speaker 4 (54:54):
No, No, it was isotone or bedroom slippers, but they
discontinued them. Actually those my wedding dry Yeah I did.

Speaker 6 (55:02):
I did.

Speaker 4 (55:03):
They had these They look like little ballet flats and
I would carry them everywhere before they even invented the
little fast flats for your purse, and I would take
them everywhere with me and I would roll them out
and I'd wear my isotoners and man, there was nothing
between me and the ground but trumfort.

Speaker 7 (55:18):
Well, I think it is.

Speaker 3 (55:19):
Also, Yeah, it's the who cares.

Speaker 2 (55:21):
It's if you care and if it's a appropriate for
the venue or whatever, or if it's important to you
that your person dresses us.

Speaker 3 (55:27):
So it can be a swag gap because you care
about like you want.

Speaker 2 (55:32):
You always hear about women and just I'm dressed, like
getting the hell I was on what not to wear?

Speaker 7 (55:38):
So what do I know?

Speaker 4 (55:39):
True. No, but even you and I've been in a
situation before. I'm like, everyone's dressed a lot nicer than me,
and I didn't think I cared until now when.

Speaker 3 (55:47):
I'm looking around, I do car.

Speaker 7 (55:49):
I feel a.

Speaker 4 (55:50):
Little out of place.

Speaker 7 (55:51):
It is a thing.

Speaker 2 (55:52):
But You're like, in some cases it's a the swag
gap might be because he's dressed like like this dude
that went to that thing.

Speaker 3 (55:58):
But Benny Blanco, ever, that's his thing.

Speaker 7 (56:00):
Right, Yeah, that's his normal style. That's what Samras fell.

Speaker 2 (56:04):
In love with.

Speaker 3 (56:05):
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

Speaker 2 (56:06):
And they're on a talk show right where they're promoting themselves.

Speaker 8 (56:09):
Yeah, yeah, so you want to keep your image going
The swag Mon Mix with.

Speaker 3 (56:15):
Matt Harris and Liz Luda. Oh, Liz Luda, what are
we learning about food?

Speaker 4 (56:23):
Well, I'm not here to yuck anyone's zom And it's
very rare that I see a food combination that I
don't go, you know what, I could try that. But
I found something that no, I in fact would not,
and that is bone broth hot chocolate bones.

Speaker 2 (56:38):
Absolutely not even sure what that is.

Speaker 4 (56:41):
Yeah, oh, I'm going to break it down. So air Wan,
which is the fancy smancy grocery store in LA that
like had the twenty dollars strawberry and all those.

Speaker 2 (56:50):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (56:50):
Yeah, they have a new hot chocolate that they've launched
and it's got a company called Fonds, And it's in
a jar, so like a glass jar you can see
through with one of those like metal lids, you know,
to make it look like it's like a regular folks brand,
almost like a spaghetti jar. And inside is hot chocolate
and bone broth. And listen, I've been on a trillion

(57:11):
dye so bone broth no, because it's what it's cooked
down from. So like if you make bone broth, you
use the bones to make the broth. If you have
regular broth, you can just be using like leftover pieces
of the meat.

Speaker 7 (57:24):
Okay.

Speaker 4 (57:25):
And I've been on many a diet where I've done
different things, and they do the protein, hot chocolate in
the whatever, but they are leaning into the savory and
the sweet, and something about it makes me go oh
because it is ginger cayenne beef bone broth. So when
they like boil down the bones, they're adding ginger and
cayenne to it. And then they say, Okay, now we're

(57:45):
gonna do the next layer. Which is coconut milk. Okay,
a little uh, a little cacao, because we're not gonna
go full cocoa, cinnamon, cayenne, and maple. I am sorry.
I do not want savory beef and sweet chocolatey flavors.
Those are two worlds that should not ever mix. In
my mind. For chocolate meat, Oh, chocolate meat.

Speaker 7 (58:06):
Yeah, I chocolate covered bacon.

Speaker 4 (58:11):
And I understand you can. You can make the argument
of like molt and stuff like that, those sauces, but
I no, no, I'm not gonna sip. I'm not gonna
sip on beefy chocolate like a.

Speaker 3 (58:24):
I mean, I'm not gonna order croth.

Speaker 4 (58:26):
Well at this point, yes, and I've I've had this
argument with TJ before. Why don't you just have the
bone broth and then enjoy the hot chocolate, like, we
don't have to mix it together.

Speaker 2 (58:33):
They said that a long time ago, with peanut butter
and chocolate and whatever. That's delicious.

Speaker 7 (58:38):
From day one, you got my bone broth in my
hot chocolate.

Speaker 3 (58:41):
Yeah, my chocolate, and.

Speaker 4 (58:43):
Then the other thing I saw that. I'm not appalled
by this. I think it would smell like you were
always snacking. But Leedle has launched a croissant perfume and
it's inspired by their croissants. But the thing is is
like you have to like enter for like a chance
to win, and they're doing this whole thing with it.
But it's shaped like a c. It apparently smells like
a croissant. And I think we should lean into this
a little bit more because I would love to smell

(59:06):
like a bread product.

Speaker 2 (59:07):
Yeah, I'm afraid to give you too much of the
French feel you have, like like like a cigarette smell too.

Speaker 4 (59:13):
I mean, I guess here I was imagining just like
smelling like you know what know, you know, I know,
I take it back because I don't want to smell
like a sour dough or a yeasty roll, I think
you yeah, yeah, let's just let's just stick to vanilla.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
I want to smell like beef broth. Yeah, now we're talking.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Just boil it, dank that.

Speaker 4 (59:36):
And you go for a run. You might, you might
