you can play shows or do whatever.

it to be your thing.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
He made such comedic faces he does like it's I

Speaker 5 (02:36):
Thanks for starting your day with a Morning Mix with
Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

You had a car with a man.

to like crank it right back up.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
And I was talking to my dad yesterday.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
He's like, Hey, why don't you just take my truck
tomorrow and not have to worry about it everything.

This weekend, right, famous last words, Yes, I get.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
I had no problems this morning.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Getting no signs like I've had the rest of this week.
And then as I'm pulling into the driveway of work,
it cuts off like you were close.

Speaker 1 (04:06):
I mean I was literally pulling into.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
The upward hill one hundred feet yeah, and then I
was just couldn't get it cranked up again. So I
have to call Matt and producer Bernie from down the
hall yeah, to come help push my car.

Speaker 2 (04:22):
Hey, fine, whatever, howevery months ago, right, but yeah, it sucks.

Speaker 3 (04:27):
It's to be that close makes it so much worse.
I feel like, right, but it's but it's so much
better too.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Yeah, that's better because uh, you know.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
It could have been you know, in the middle of
you know what, could be ten miles from here, so right.

Speaker 1 (04:39):
It could be on the middle of seventy seven, you know, right, worse.
But you're like god, so yeah, it has to be uphill.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I couldn't uphill, right exactly. Yeah, you didn't even get
into the actual parking lot. I still got to park
on the streets.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
It's like Mary Christmas, right, Yes, what a week. Santa
Slay just called it quits. Yeah, I for it. That's
about right now, Santa. It has the rein here to pull.
That's what you needed, right.

Speaker 3 (05:05):
I did get called sugar this morning, though you did
get called sugar.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Unfortunately it wasn't by maybe the you've choose.

Speaker 1 (05:13):
It was not.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
T Bone from the sports station was making his coffee
and I walk in to go make some tea and hey,
two Bone, how's it going, Hey sugar, how do you doing?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Whoa?

Speaker 3 (05:24):
He is literally looking at packets of sugar while this
is happening. But it was almost like a scripted moment,
like yeah, I don't know, Like who's just staring at
the sugar like that.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
Just staying unconsciously, Hey, sugar, sugar, just like whoa, oh yeah,
that's it just blurts out and then you're like he
came in and he said in an uncomfortable moment, DJ,
let him explain it to you, And I'm like, oh,
I can't wait talking hr involved. Yeah, morning mixed Mad
Liz producer TJ h. If you have a required court date,

(06:00):
there are a lot of ways to get there, personal vehicles,
ride shares, public transportation, walking, maybe on.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
A horse in some areas.

Speaker 2 (06:09):
Oh, but driving a stolen U haul come on, not advisable.
Thirty nine year old woman in Florida, LaToya Clark, pulled
over blocks away from the.

Speaker 1 (06:19):
US District Court.

Speaker 2 (06:21):
The license plate reader had flagged her vehicle as being stolen.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
The cops responded, now she was being copped.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
An officer started to explain to LaToya why she was
being arrested. She said, Oh, you don't have to tell
mana Why, she says, because I'm going to the courthouse
because I'm on trial there for a federal crime. She's
on her the trial for alleged conspiracy to defraud the
US government of twenty nine million in COVID relief loans
and grants.

Speaker 1 (06:46):
What did she do with it?

Speaker 2 (06:47):
Because she was driving a U haul cargo van that
she took for a one day rental two months ago.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Oh wow, she didn't return it, so it was reported stolen.

Speaker 2 (06:59):
Now she has to deal with that along with the
previous felony fraud charges, and several of those carried maximum
twenty your prison sentences. So the guy's like, you know
why I'm getting you right? Oh yeah, it's that thing.
And he's like, nope, it's the other thing, the stolen
car you're driving. Oh yeah about that?

Speaker 3 (07:13):
Wow, And don't commit a crime while you've already committed
other crimes.

Speaker 1 (07:17):
Come on your way to face, one at a time,
one at a time.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
It's the America's tiniest coin just brought in some big bucks.
So if you were thinking I'm gonna collect the pennies,
I'll get the last ones were They did a special
minted set the pennies that were the final minted set,
and for sixteen point seven to six.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Million at auction. Wow.

Speaker 2 (07:36):
So two hundred and thirty two sets of three coins,
each featuring a twenty twenty five penny from the Philadelphia Mint,
one from the Denver Mint, a couple from the Philadelphia Mint.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
And they have certain markings on them and all that
sort of thing. And so they sold those for as
I said, millions of dollars. Wow, the penny was up.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
The was being made for two hundred and thirty two
years and halted in November. But so no need to
try to save that, you know, like collect them or anything.

Speaker 1 (08:05):
Liz was already trying to hoard them.

Speaker 2 (08:07):
She was, Yeah, she thought this is going to pay
off to me someday. Right, Well, they got a special
mark on all the ones that were the last one's out.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
Otherwise you don't know because they're just willing, Nelly.

Speaker 2 (08:16):
The government was not usually smart, but they figured this
one out on how to make some cash.

Speaker 1 (08:20):
Right.

Speaker 5 (08:21):
Thanks for starting your day with The Morning Miss.

Speaker 1 (08:23):
It's The Morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Lda No, here's.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
Your latest pop updeat powered by Mark Spain Real Estate
and Jelly Roll. He said he was colorblind most of
his life, but losing two hundred pounds has changed that
he now sees colors clearly. Again, I had no idea
what was related. I still don't know what it is,
but he says it is here, he is talking about it.

Speaker 1 (08:43):
I was color blind. I couldn't see.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
I've seen shades of colors like I general concepts, but
like Hunter green, Emore green, like what green's green?

Speaker 7 (08:51):
To me?

Speaker 6 (08:51):
I never realized there was nuances in prettiness and that
some were brighter and tone different. I just seen them
like shades. I'd say. Nine months into No Sugar, I start,
I think I forgot what it was. But it was
a plan in our house. And I come outside and
I grab my wife and I go, dude, how long
we had that pretty purple tulip there? She was like,
you've walked by that plant for two years? What are
you talking about? And if slowly I started looking around

(09:12):
the next few days and over the next months, I
was like, I'm seeing clear color.

Speaker 1 (09:16):
Oh that's great, that's crazy, right. Yeah.

Speaker 2 (09:19):
Zutopia two hit the one billion mark faster than any
animated PG rated movie in history. The film's breakout character
is Gary de Snake, who's modeled after the highly venomous
blue Indonesian pit viper. Well It's bite is rarely fatal
look at, resultant pain, swelling, serious tissue damage.

Speaker 1 (09:39):
But that is it's.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
Stopping fans in China from buying them as pets. Blue
vipers are being bought and sold for several hundred dollars
in Chinese e commerce sites, although many have removed the listings,
it become such a concern that Chinese state and media
said quote in the movie the Blue Snake is imbued
with endearing and brave human like traits, but the real
life at the miss Snake is far from being a

(10:02):
harmless trendy toy. If a venomous snake escapes or attacks,
and danger's not only the owner and their family, but
can also escalate. So yeah, don't run out and get
the blue Venomous Snake.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Okay, that makes sense.

Speaker 2 (10:14):
And Collider dot Com ceo you fall with their most
iconic Christmas movie characters from number five up five Day
of George Bishop Potter, No, George Bailey, It's a wonderful life.
Uh you know, Kevin Mcowster is five from Home Alone, Okay,
all right? George Bailey's four. Jack Skellington from the Night

(10:35):
Member for Christmas is three. Ebeneezer Scrooges two and the
Grinch is one all.

Speaker 3 (10:41):
Right, Brench is on a big upswing, yes, like everywhere,
and they, you know, re released the movie on the anniversary.

Speaker 2 (10:49):
I guess right. Maybe that's why I think that Kevin
Mcowster is too low, that is sure. Buddy the ELpH
is at seven. Yeah, it's a little low. That's definitely low.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Rudolph's way down there.

Speaker 2 (11:03):
Ralphie's way down there in the list is.

Speaker 3 (11:06):
Way too high, definitely, way too He's very popular.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Top ten for sure, but come on top five.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
Yeah, and uh they have John McClean from Diehard on here. Yes,
but I think Buddy the Eelpan's a little higher. Femanezer
Scrooge because there are so many adaptations, right, he is iconic, Yeah,
in that way.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
So many people have played that character. And I think
George Bailey's too high, definitely. I mean, come on, deserves
to be on it. I guess it's just but for
tradition's sake, I guess.

Speaker 2 (11:36):
I wouldn't put him up number four. Head home alone.
Come on, man, come on, come.

Speaker 5 (11:40):
On, Thanks for starting your day with the Morning Mix
with Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
A third of people do this after unwrapping gifts.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Tell you that, and a second person that will remind
you it's one hundred point nine or ninety nine point
three better.

Speaker 1 (11:54):
Yeah, download the mix app. Yeah, put Mix.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Charlotte into your app store thing anything I adjiggy there
on your phone and download. It's free and you can
stream it all right. So I don't know what your
technique is for opening a gift. You rip it up
or do you slightly tear it and so you can
reuse the paper? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:15):
Do do people really reuse it? I saw crinkly and stuff?
Just say they do? Right, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (12:22):
A third say they do save wrapping paper eighteen percent,
so they keep and reuse it sixty percent they keep it,
but they really didn't.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Don't follow up? Uh, so that that's more like it.

Speaker 3 (12:35):
But I've seen it happen like, oh yeah, this is
so few like now bows and stuff like that, I
can see.

Speaker 2 (12:40):
I have seen actually that they reuse those. Yeah, or
like the like present boxes. Okay, that would be like
a decor. I've seen that being reused.

Speaker 3 (12:49):
But actual paper, no, like yes, yes, even no matter
how careful you are, you can't make that look good
on a new buy.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Really going to save it to the following year. Right, Yeah,
that's the other thing.

Speaker 2 (13:03):
And uh, you know, I even tell my kids when
they were younger, especially they get the toy or whatever
it is in the box, I'm like.

Speaker 1 (13:11):
Can we open it and night? What if you have
to return this? Can we just write? But yeah, the
box is all right up and I just feel bad
returning it like that. But anyway, I'm with you.

Speaker 2 (13:19):
So if you thought it was like the depression era
of grandma's that would save it, you're wrong. Pole found
young people actually more likely to do it. Only twenty
five percent of senior save wrapping pay for forty four
percent of people under thirty.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
They just haven't learned. They just don't know any better yet.
Are they trying to show off, like look at me,
I'm recycling.

Speaker 3 (13:40):
So their moms probably did it or their grandmas, and
then they're like, this is what you're supposed to do.
And whereas the older generations have been like, we did
that and then.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
We learned it was dumb to do that, so we
don't do it anymore.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
And Google shared a list speaking of wrapping, of the
top five gifts were struggling struggling to wrap right now?
They you know they typed in how to wrap blank? Uh?

Speaker 1 (14:02):
Number one was how to wrap a candle? What I
went round?

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Stuff is harder, it says, YouTube has videos?

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Or just toss up the gift bag people, right? Easy? Yeah?
How to wrap a baseball bat?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
Oh, the easy to say is put it in a box.
Where you get that, or get a cardboard shipping tube
that you might put a poster urse.

Speaker 1 (14:25):
Okay, that's a good idea. The how to wrap power wheels?
Oh yeah, if even.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
Wanted to assemble them out of the box. I wouldn't
even wrap that, right, that's a bow kind of thing.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
That's exactly right. Like or you think all the presents
are done? You ever did your family do that?

Speaker 3 (14:41):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (14:41):
Well wait a minute, let's go to the girls. Yeah,
exactly how to wrap swtpants?

Speaker 1 (14:48):
What who's typing that in? You probably put it in
a box. That's the answer to most of these things.

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Boxers box are a bag. And then this one is
insane to me too. To wrap a calendar? What it's
square and it's flat.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
What do you have to do? It's like one of
the easiest things to wrap. And first of.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
All, are people still doing calendars? I don't think they
still have the calendar stories. But does anybody want a calendar?
I know there are people who like having a calendar
hanging there. I want one and I don't have You
want one and you don't have one?

Speaker 3 (15:19):
Well, because when I get one, I never, like, I
have these big dreams. It's kind of like a planner,
Like I want to put my whole schedule out there
so I can just like see it, and then I
never do it.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
I think they like kiosks, Oh yeah, definitely. And I'm
like I always wonder.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
Like, who is how many calendar? Like who's buying a calendar? Right?

Speaker 2 (15:37):
I mean I guess you want the picture of the
cute dog or the or or your favorite uh Hunter
X demon or whatever.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Right, you know, K Pop demon Hunter yeah or something.
But I don't think my kids ever had.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
That want to, especially a thirty dollars calendar or on
my phone here.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Yeah, but I guess some people.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Morning Mixed Matt Harris, Liz Luda you handles this, but
she is out sick. It is a lunacy where she
finds things on the Internet. And I found this thing
from Emmy MCB two. So Emy MCB two, she has
the internet mad at her. She's from Long Island. She's
a creator, I guess. And she bought some things at

(16:19):
the Dollar Tree and people were saying, you don't go
to the Dollar Tree for the Angel Tree that her
church was having.

Speaker 1 (16:27):
Oh, you know.

Speaker 2 (16:28):
Don't do it on the cheap, and so you know,
she got some like generic off brand colored pencils and
things like that.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
Here's her response to the haters.

Speaker 7 (16:37):
For the past twenty four hours, I have been relentlessly
harassed from buying off brand colored pencils for an Angel
Tree gift. She wanted arts, craft, skincare and McDonald's. I
purchased what I thought I myself would.

Speaker 8 (16:49):
Have enjoyed at her age, and the Internet felt that
I did not spend enough time or money and has
certainly let me know. While admittedly feeling very discouraged and
in the moments very angry at personal attacks on my character,
I have to remember that the same people who impulsively
are ripping me apart with no awareness of who I am.
My intentions were the recommended requirements of this donation program, which,
by the way, the recommended spending rate was fifty to

(17:11):
eighty dollars. I spent just about sixty five are the
same people who crucified a perfect man.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
She here's the thing.

Speaker 2 (17:20):
You could put anything on the If you're going to
put post something, you know people are going to come
atter you, no matter what is the way I feel
like it. Yeah, she's probably getting all these hits because
of it. I personally, I don't see the problem. She
spent sixty five bucks. Maybe I'm a bad dad because
I would go to the Dollar Store and get my
kid face masks.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
Or you know, some of these other things that she
got there.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
She got something from bath Bodyworks or bath and body Works,
but she got the off brand pencils, a Paint my
Number kit from the Dollar Store, a Dolphin key chain,
a drawing pad. But was the off colored pencils that
people really send to go crazy about.

Speaker 1 (17:58):
Yeah, I can kind of get that.

Speaker 2 (18:00):
Yeah, the Crayola version came with only ten pencils, she said,
this one got got twelve and a fifteen dollars McDonald
gift card.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
All of this stuff, it's a fifty to eighty dollars range.

Speaker 2 (18:12):
And so after the backlash, she went and got a
fifty pack of Krayola pencils to put in there as well.

Speaker 3 (18:17):
Okay, all right, Well, see, I don't know if your
parents ever bought you the I think they're called Rose
Art Brand or something, right, yeah, yeah, and it's just
like wax. It's not even like real crayon. I can
understand where your bitterness is coming from.

Speaker 1 (18:34):
I don't. I don't like this very much.

Speaker 3 (18:35):
They aren't just good, they just don't work, right, And
so like she doesn't know that though if right, no, right,
she shouldn't be beaten up by this by adult, But like,
I can understand the frustration as someone who grew up
trying to be creative with these like just breaks of color.
Basically they don't do anything.

Speaker 2 (18:55):
Crayons don't work great either, right yeah, And so once
you get like.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Attached to a coloring books sometimes yes.

Speaker 3 (19:01):
Yeah, you gotta you can't cheap out on crayons or
I don't and I don't know about colored pencils.

Speaker 2 (19:07):
But but she, you know, people were telling her to
hurt herself and things like that come on much, But
that's just what online is, don't you know, That's exactly
what it is. They said, she you know, your privileged,
you don't understand, and like, I know.

Speaker 3 (19:19):
Hey, she's doing a good thing. She's helping. Some kid
is gonna be able to open her Christmas present. It
may not have been able to because of her.

Speaker 1 (19:26):
So she was in the in the in the price range.
I don't know if you want to chime in.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
The new number, by the way, is nine eight oh
three eight oh one zero zero nine.

Speaker 1 (19:36):
How'd she sing it?

Speaker 3 (19:37):
Nine eight oh three eighth one zero zero nine.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
Yeah, you'll probably yell at us now for singing that,
but yeah she didn't. She did the thing.

Speaker 2 (19:45):
I think it's just no matter what you put on
the like you post something, people gonna.

Speaker 3 (19:49):
Be like, yeah, aniot, there's gonna be a reason to
be angry about it.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
I don't understand some Matt Erisliz Lute out today and

after this guy who she's met multiple times, a journalist dude,
and he said to her, am, I supposed to know you?

on delivery? Oh, am I supposed to know? There's no
way that's ever. Am I supposed to know you?

Speaker 5 (22:52):
So?

Speaker 1 (22:52):
Oh, you know, make no way?

Is very like, come off, It's like why should I
even know you? Like why where would I know you from?
Or I'm sorry I've brought a blank?

Speaker 1 (23:10):
Or I can say am I supposed to know you?

Speaker 3 (23:13):
Like like no, no, like you're questioning yourself.

Speaker 1 (23:17):
No, no, no.

Speaker 2 (23:19):

you want to What do you think about that?

Speaker 1 (23:25):
Am I supposed to know?

Speaker 6 (23:26):
You?

Speaker 1 (23:26):
Think?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
Nine?

Speaker 1 (23:27):
Eight oh three eight oh.

Speaker 2 (23:29):
One zero zero nine ninety oh three and oh one
zero zero nine Morning Mix Matt Harris Liz Ludas out
Today TJ's here. Wall Street Journal led this article the
headline the Cult of Cole's Cash.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
Yes if you are in the cult of Cole's cash.

Speaker 2 (23:47):
Uh it is nine eight oh three eight oh one
zero zero nine.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
Because well, here's here's here's what it here.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
Here's the first few sentences for some shoppers maximizing me
turn on the retailer's rewards proke' is an obsession the
fifteen cent sweater. Walk through any mall, you're bound to
hear the typical sounds of this season Christmas Carol's children
crying on Santa's lap, people bragging about their coal's cash. Yes, yes,
and it is so true that my mom was obsessed

(24:20):
with it. My sister now is that I was talking
to her and there's another woman that there were two
other women.

Speaker 1 (24:26):
They're like, oh yeah, listen what happened when I did mine?

Speaker 2 (24:29):
Yes, and it was there's some sort of coal's cash
math that you can get the coupon and your coal's cash,
but they only overlap like a day or something. Oh okay,
I don't know anybody knows that coal's cash math ninety three.

Speaker 1 (24:45):
To zero one zero zero nine.

Speaker 2 (24:48):
They say it's like a big trophy if you you know,
you come around like this woman bragged about it, as they said,
the fifteen cent sweater.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
She had to dig around in my purse because who
carries changed. It was a total score. I couldn't wait
to tell everybody about it.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
Right. Uh, you know, they've they've gotten a lot wrong
in the past year some things, but this program, for
every fifty dollars they spend a qualifying purchase, they get
ten dollars in Cole's cash. And I don't look I
get it anymore, but I'm sure they get that little
like the flyer, oh rip off the front. Yes, and
if my mom got like a thirty percenter.

Speaker 1 (25:20):
Whoah was calling everybody.

Speaker 2 (25:23):
And I was talking to my sister about this at
Thanksgiving and her husband was there and she goes, yeah,
she thinks it's free money, right, even though you go
in there and you still spend Oh yeah before he's
had money.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
Yeah, he saved money.

Speaker 2 (25:36):
But it is there is even the the NFL quarterback
Kirk Cousins appeared on ESPN and was showing off a
necklace from Cole's that he got with a Cole's Cash
coupon and it looked like a Cole's Cash coupon.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
Yes, oh that's great.

Speaker 2 (25:55):
So it is just a whole This one person who
does on they're on an online dating app and they
mentioned it in their description. Oh wow, yeah, you know,
she says, it's really you got to be really careful.
You got to find a small item, a sales price,
an extra discount that's exact amount of your Coal's cash,
and then you know, you can find something like a

(26:17):
nineteen dollars T shirt on sale for fifty percent off.
Then I use my Coal's cash and I got a
for a dollar.

Speaker 1 (26:21):
Oh yeah, yeah. Like the people are just going nuts.

Speaker 2 (26:24):
Is a complete uh because once I even started the
people talking must be women that were sitting around mainly.
I'm sure guys do it too, but they just started
going on and on about the things they do, and
they interview. One person in here is like, I don't
feel guilty about shopping, but you know, it's found money,
it's new money.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
And I sent my sister of the article and she's like,
this is so great. Yeah, she says it is.

Speaker 2 (26:49):
It doesn't really count as spending if you use coal's
cash in your coupons.

Speaker 1 (26:52):
I'm like, I think it's still spending.

Speaker 3 (26:54):
But and the biggest offense is if you tell someone
who is into Cole's Cash that you did not use
the benefit or rewards program or Coal's cash or whatever.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
They will rip you apart. How dare you? I went
into Cohles and you didn't. You didn't call me. Why
didn't you ask me for help?

Speaker 2 (27:13):
Right?

Speaker 1 (27:13):
And it's like, whoa, I didn't realize this was a
program I needed to be involved in.

Speaker 2 (27:18):
You know the sense of urgency. This person says, when
your when your coupin's about to expire and you got
a time it out with your Coals cash, here's a
whole calendar set up. It's like gamification. Yeah, one time
I mentioned on the air that I used I went
to Coles and I didn't use a coupon and the
places where they were ready to stone me, yeahead me absolutely.

Speaker 1 (27:36):
I went in.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
This last time was an emergency. I had to go
in and get something, and I went to think, like
I don't know anything. I know I'm supposed to use
a coupon. I don't know how to like looking on
my think, Women's like I'll just take care of you,
don't worry about it.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
Right, that's normally what I do.

Speaker 3 (27:49):
I just play stupid, like I'm like, normally my mom
gives me Goals cash and they're like, oh, okay, well
we'll help you out.

Speaker 1 (27:56):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
My brother says, played dumb one time and the woman says,
what you're buying is, yeah, yes, just put it on
mine because it'll help me get my gold, like this
gull's cash thing.

Speaker 1 (28:05):
Just give me a five bucks or something. He's like, okay, okay,
we could do that.

Speaker 5 (28:09):
Vegs for starting your day with the Morning Mix with
Matt Harris and Liz Luda.

Speaker 2 (28:14):
Okay, do you have a different unique Christmas tradition in
your family? Let us know nine eight oh three, eight
oh one zero zero nine nine oh three eighth one.

Speaker 1 (28:29):
Zero zero nine.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
I saw we'll start with this one I saw on
TikTok Up family who think of the dad's divorce and
single divorced And because in the Tim Allen movie Santa
Claus apparently I don't remember, Tim Allen takes his kids
to Denny's. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, And so the dad
started doing that ten years, are going to continue to
do it?

Speaker 1 (28:50):
Okay. Dad thought it was like a thing he was
supposed to do. Yes, all right, So they go to
Denny's on Christmas Eve.

Speaker 3 (28:56):
Yeah, they go in there and there's a bunch of
single dads taking their kids out Denny's.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Yeah, now it comes back to me, yes, yes, yes,
so that was one I saw. And then there is this.

Speaker 2 (29:06):
This is at a Catalonia, Spain. And forgive me if
I pronounced the wrong to od Nadal. The name translates
as Christmas log or well, I'll tell you what else
could be called after I tell you about it. So
in the two and a half weeks leading up to Christmas,
families keep a regular wood log in the home with

(29:28):
a face painted on it. It also has a red hat,
two wooden legs in front, and a blanket over its
back end.

Speaker 1 (29:35):
The log represents this character, which I'll get into.

Speaker 2 (29:39):
They pretend to feed scrap some food to this log, okay, weird,
and sing to it a song and then beat it
with sticks. Wait, you beat the stick with sticks? You
beat the law, your logs with sticks, your wood on
wood on wood crime. On Christmas Day, after singing and beating,

(30:00):
the blanket has lifted off the Christmas logs back end
and surprise, it has pooped gifts for everyone. Oh yes,
that's why it's also known as the poop log or
the boep log.

Speaker 1 (30:13):
This is the real thing. Wow, you beat it and stuff.

Speaker 2 (30:17):
I'm not really sure the logic I tried to like
because you're beating it and you're feeding it and hopes
it'll poop presence. That is so weird and I love
it actually, and I double triple check to make sure
it's a real thing. It's been around for centuries now,
it has evolved a lot along the way.

Speaker 1 (30:40):
So yeah, that's something you might want to try. Very interesting.
It's usually pooping out smaller like candy. It's weird. It's
something small gifts as a way of paying you back.
It isn't emitting warmth, you know, you know, you like
burn it or anything. It just sits there and then

(31:04):
you it happens. I it's confusing, but a lot of
tradicians are confusing if you.

Speaker 2 (31:11):
Try to, yeah, back into the logic like I'm feeding it,
I'm beating it, and I'm hoping I get presents and food.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
So you beat it on Christmas Day, you've owned two
weeks leading up two weeks.

Speaker 1 (31:20):
Oh it's two weeks.

Speaker 2 (31:22):
Yeah, yeah, you beat it on the weeks leading up
to Oh, it's like a daily weeks daily beating, daily
eating and feeding, feeding and beating yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
And then hopefully you wake up in the morning and
since you treated it so well, you've fed it and
beat it, that it'll become unconstipated.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
Maybe that's why you're beating it.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Oh okay, you've fed it. Yeah, now you're trying to
like it's constant. Help with the digestion. Move that move
that logs, you know, colon and stuff around. I don't
know if anybody has done this, this so weird has
your own love it? I really do love this one.

Speaker 1 (32:01):
I do want to start at nine eight oh three
eight zero one years zero nine.

Speaker 2 (32:05):
If you know about this, you've done it or you've
had your own a weird tradition and you kind of
brought up mister Hankey.

Speaker 1 (32:10):
Mister Hanky.

Speaker 3 (32:11):
It does sound very similar to from south Park, from
South Park back in the day, but it is it
is different than that.

Speaker 2 (32:17):
And I remember we on Christmas Eve sat my down,
dad down in nineteen ninety.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Seven or something with mister Hanky.

Speaker 2 (32:24):
Right. We weren't sure I was gonna go. We're gonna
show him the mister Hanky episode of South Park. If
you haven't seen it, check it out.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, we're not sure. We're like, let's do this. Yeah,
and so we put it on. My dad laughed so hard,
which you would not have expected. And he's not approved
by any stretch, so he wouldn't have been like a
fan that.

Speaker 2 (32:42):
He's just been like, hey, you got her stupid or
right right, But he like was crying, he couldn't catch
his breath and we just were all that made us laugh.

Speaker 1 (32:49):
And so now it's a Christmas tradition. Oh excellent.

Speaker 3 (32:52):
I love that, Like the whole family gathers around to
watch South Park. Mister Hanky, that's a.

Speaker 2 (32:56):
Good morning mixed Matt Harris, Liz Lutens, Sick and TJS
here with a would you rather Wednesday Christmas? Would you
rather sneeze tinsel out your nose? For the rest of
your life or for the rest of your life? You're
untangling Christmas lights and whenever you're whenever you have free time.

Speaker 1 (33:15):
Oh man, I'm definitely gonna be season tensil. You the tensil.
Oh it's so frustrating to untangle lights. Oh, it really is.

Speaker 2 (33:23):
And and this is your life, so you never really
get done, you never finish, like that's all you're doing.

Speaker 1 (33:27):
Even Yeah, but I don't know, I mean, I don't
sneeze that off through and it might be festive. You
talk to me to sneeze again, new party trick.

Speaker 2 (33:38):
Yeah, you would you rather ride the Polar Express or
spend Christmas Day in Whoville?

Speaker 1 (33:44):
Oh, I'm going Whoville. I like the Polar Express.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Get a ride, go see the Santa stuff up there.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
I think it's what they did. There's a creepy look,
there's several creepy, creepy cancers in there. Yeah, that's true.
And also you're like, maybe like why is this adult
in this trade?

Speaker 2 (34:02):
Right?

Speaker 1 (34:02):
Yeah? Are all children in their pajamas? Why are you here?
But Whovill has the roast beast. Yeah, but they also
have all that horrible singing.

Speaker 3 (34:12):
This singing is absolutely terrible, constant, and I think I could, uh,
I can maybe drown that out the roast and.

Speaker 2 (34:19):
I'm gonna think you look really weird. Oh well yeah
that's just another ye uh. And finally spend all Christmas
day taking family photos. Oh no, or drink nothing but
eggnog and eat nothing but.

Speaker 1 (34:33):
Fruitcake the entire day.

Speaker 2 (34:35):
And you've got to do, you know, a couple of
gallons of at least a gallon of eggnog and an
entire fruitcake oh man, that means you're missing out on
whatever the great Christmas meal is.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Oh, I think I'm gonna go with the fruitcake and
egg taking pictures, staged pictures or that's a night.

Speaker 1 (34:54):
How have I just cut it down to you do
that for six hours? Okay, I do that fruitcake because
I want the Christmas cream.

Speaker 2 (35:03):
Yeah, family photos of six hours of family photos with kids.

Speaker 1 (35:08):
Oh yeah, as you bring your old you got to
bring your your your wen nieces and then my five
year old niece. Yeah that would be yeah.

Speaker 2 (35:18):
Yeah, I think I'm eating fruitcake get especially if it's spiked.

Speaker 1 (35:22):
Oh yeah, definitely.

Speaker 2 (35:24):
Good morning makes man, Harris Liz Luda's family is sick.

Speaker 1 (35:28):
DJ is here. And if something happened to you which
makes me justify a weird thing that I do. This
is the thing.

Speaker 2 (35:36):
Well, first of all, here's what happened. You have a
somebody in Montana says they know you. Explain that because
it makes me feel better about myself.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
So I have a family member who lives in Montana
and they recently ran into someone who had just moved
to Montana from Clover, which is where I'm from, and
they apparently knew me. Said my name first and last name,
first and last name. And then I find out that

(36:07):
they were or are married to my friend that I
hung out with in high school. Like we were very
good friends, but that was but that's been a long
long that's been twenty years ago since we hung out regularly,
and I haven't seen him in four years.

Speaker 2 (36:21):
And you definitely, as far as you can tell, never
met this I've never met her. And this guy wasn't
there when she's telling this story to this correct, right,
So somehow he talked about you, right, he.

Speaker 3 (36:31):
Talked about me to her enough that she was able
to pull my name up to this family member. And
then it all gets over and it all gets relaid back,
and it's I don't know, it's wild.

Speaker 1 (36:44):
I have no idea who this person is.

Speaker 2 (36:46):
See here's the because I do this thing, and it's
it's a terrible, it's a it's a waste of space
and time.

Speaker 1 (36:51):
But I will do like I'll tell a story, oh,
my friend Bill.

Speaker 2 (36:57):
Then I'll be like, well he's not a friend, right, yeah, yeah,
I to know he's an a quaint like but no
one really decent into that. But I but I find
myself doing that. And I've had like people call me
out like what we we you know, because yeah, what's
that about? But now I realize it could come back
and bite me. But because I always think, Okay, well
someday someone's gonna run into this person and hey, Matt Harrison,
he's your friend.

Speaker 1 (37:15):
He was not my friend. I don't know that guy. Yeah,
but that's really a weird thing to think.

Speaker 3 (37:19):
That's different though, because I don't think she was claiming
to be like no, no, but.

Speaker 1 (37:23):
The fact that she just knows who I don't know,
it's weird, Like I don't Yeah, I wouldn't even.

Speaker 2 (37:30):
I probably wouldn't have been paid attention enough to somebody
telling me a story about their friends and to go like, right,
you know this person.

Speaker 1 (37:38):
Maybe get a first name, yeah, you know, Like I
don't know.

Speaker 2 (37:41):
But now I feel better though about always being like
and then they're like, can you just get on with
the story?

Speaker 1 (37:45):
I know, but I didn't want to to think that
I was a friend. Yeah you really got a a friend.
And they're like, I what do you what do you do?

Speaker 2 (37:52):
We're not gonna fact check you just give me right, yeah, exactly.
Get to the point here, you would they're getting a
private investigator on it. They are mixed one on point

Sometimes they say things are Wall Street journals the story.
They say it's an emerging trend. Single people are outsourcing
their online dating accounts and laying their parents take over.

They talk to people in their twenties and thirties who've
handed it off. They said they've been on there for
a while, for years, they swiped left too many times,
just can't find anyone.

So maybe mom or dad, could you imagine your mom
or dad hand absolutely, would you know? Why would you
trust them?

Speaker 2 (43:47):
No? I mean no, not at all. No, Like, you
don't even get to a proof. They just swipe and
they tell you're meeting this person. Yeah, that's terrible. That's
a terrible idea. Ah. One woman who's doing it says
she is allowed to vito.

Speaker 1 (44:00):
Her mom's picks. See how about that?

Okay, guy's just on her type some time, But she
says her mom keeps picking guys who are wearing Gucci,
and I'm like, okay, but I like the hike, right
you you don't even have this right. It can work, though,
According to one woman said her dad talked to her
into going out with this British guy who she didn't
really find that great, but the dad liked him. Give

(44:22):
the guy a chance and now they're a couple. Either way,
it's giving parents a taste of how hard dating is.
In twenty twenty five, one mom said she was shocked
to see so many profile picks of guys and hunting
gear or drinking from a handle of liquor. Oh wow,
that did not be the hunting gear. Okay, that's maybe

(44:43):
you drinking from the hunting drinking from your handle. Yeah,
come on, come on, can you imagine telling your mom
and dad? Would you even even show it to him,
like you even let him go through and see what
kind of like I'm not even sure I would.

Speaker 1 (44:56):
Let him look at it, Like no, no, it just
would be like like weird com It would be very weird.
Not a conversation even one at right, Oh, you should
go for her. It's like you, No, I don't want

Speaker 1 (45:37):
Yeah yeah. Ebenezer Scrooge.

Speaker 2 (45:39):

many adaptations and versions of.

Speaker 1 (45:43):
It for a century and a half or something like that.

Speaker 2 (45:46):
I don't get the Jack Skellington from Night Different three Yeah, three.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
There is a lot of merchandise for that, there is,
so maybe that's how it.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
I don't know because I'm not even Maybe I'm just
missing the loop on that because I don't know.

Speaker 1 (46:00):
I wouldn't think that. I don't know. Eighty percent of
people would know is Jack Skellington.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
No, definitely more than that are gonna know. Okay, it's
a really big on the with the weird people, that's true.
But is it most Buddy the Elf. Yeah, that's because

more people would know Buddy the elve, right, or even
Rudolph is way down at ten.

Frosty's way down there too. Uh So, Yeah, Jack Skellington,

the Boy he should say, right and Kevin McAllister from
Home Alone it's five yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah?

Speaker 1 (46:46):

a kind I wouldn't say he's a Christmas movie care
he was.

Speaker 1 (47:01):
He is in a Christmas movie, but he's not a
Christmas character. Yeah, you're right.

Speaker 2 (47:05):
He seems out of place in that list when you're
putting like Gizmo at nine from the Gremlins. Yeah, Ralphie
from a Christmas story I think is a little low.

Speaker 1 (47:14):
Yeah, I where's he at? He's at fourteen, Alt's at fifteen. Yeah,
