Speaker 2 (02:56):
This is the Morning Mixer.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Fis for starting your day with a morning mix with
Matt Harris and Liz Luda.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Morning Mix Matt Harris, Liz Luda, Good morning do you?
And Good morning to TJ. Did you guys get allowance
as a kid?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Did you?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yeah? Like it was like five dollars a week, but
it was already like my parents were already like, hey,
half of this goes into saving Oh I ended up
like dolls.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's super cool though, and then they stolen.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
All Oh okay, yeah, having up for.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
A bicycle and I knew I had like one hundred
and eighty dollars it was gone, and it was and
they bet eight dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
They were uh, oh no, it's still to this day.
And my parents were in and out they like I am.
They would do it for like a few weeks and
they'd be out blah blah blah for while we did.
Like they would give us poker chips you were supposed
to cash in at the end. Oh, and then you
get to the end of the weekend, like we don't
know them. Yeah, we don't have any cash.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And I kind of was in and out with my
kids like two for a while. But then eventually they're like,
I don't I'm not gonna weed no matter how much
you pay me. Forty New report the average child's allowance
fifty two dollars a month, thirteen dollars a week.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Rough Honestly, I probably spend more than that on him
or like you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
But on like fun stuff or like like stuff that
he would normally buy with.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, yeah, fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I bet, yeah, probably fun stuff. I hate to say that,
but he's not spoiled because well I'm in the wrong
income bracket to call my kids.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Spoiled, but like he's spoiled.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Ye had a lot, a lot of no's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
He gets to know sometimes, but like you know, he
doesn't have that many hobbies. If he wants this fun
pen by the time I add up like a fun
pen and then he gets another notebook.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
To draw and do it. It just it adds up
some more than that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
If you look at inflation, you you're paying a let's
say a twelve dollars a twelve year old thirteen dollars
a week.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
It's safe, so.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Parents in their forties, that'd be twenty two dollars per
month or five fifty food, so you know, it's like double.
So it's if you're thinking, oh that's not I'm I
got well, justin for inflation, you don't have to get
full like you had five bucks, right yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's basically twelve bucks a week or so okay.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I mean inflation and money has definitely changed because one
time the tooth fairy accidentally left a twenty dollars bill
for my kid, So he is also not financially prepared.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Just like me.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I was in and out. I
would do it, hold up tight for a while and not.
Seventy percent of parents say their children can handle money responsively.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
What oh, that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Seems way too high. Yeah. Uh. Fifty percent of parents
still do it in cash. Another third do it through
digital laps like Venmo or whatever, or preloaded debit cards.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Okay, that sort of thing. So my kid would ask
for gift cards, he would just want Roebucks.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But even that, I have to dole that out.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
When I do get him Roebucks because he, I mean,
he wants to buy every hat, everything he could possibly
do to dress up his avatar or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It's The Morning Mix. Morning Mix Matt Harris, Liz Luda
and TJ found this newsnut. It is from the Once
Upon a Child in Spartanburg facebook page.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's like a thrift shop.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Thrift shop, Yeah, once upon a Child.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You're secondhand, Yeah, kids closed toys.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And it says on the facebook page we had a
friendly visitor. Her name is Anna. She told us today
we have all the information and we appreciate her bringing
in her items, but while doing this, she also took
items that did not belong to her. If anyone knows Anna,
please ask her to return the items, or we'd be
contacting the local authorities. Spartanburg Police Department. Oh link share
(06:33):
coming for a chance to win a five dollars baby buck.
But I think that's an old probably hashtag that wasn't nice.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I wonder though, maybe when because it said she brought
in her items, did she accidentally scoop up something else
by accident.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Or they wouldn't do that. Yeah, I think this is
no accidental. I think so too, because or didn't think that.
I forgot they had given them all the information. Whatever.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
You just handed over your ID so they could sell you,
give you some money for your clothing.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah right, yeah, I got this A little quick one.
A London commuter charged with walking wrong way an escalator
at train station. She appeared in court. She's thirty two
years old.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Are you not allowed to do that?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Not allowed to at least over there? She used or
attempted to use an escalator other than by standing or
walking on it in the direction intended for travel. It's
not known whether she tried to go up the down
or down the up. She could be fine thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
WHOA.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
She was in court and the court took three hours,
Like what, yes, going the wrong thirteen hundred bucks going
up of everything?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, but was the other one broken? Was she doing
it to be funny? Was this she because I've done that?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I have details, but I'm guessing that's not the case,
or they would drop it. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I saw a thing one time where they had like
the escalator the one side it was like down and
had like the little caution tape and you couldn't use
it and it was just going.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
The other direction. This was at an airport. It's a
shame on me.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And then it was really far to walk to the stairs,
and so I just I've gone down. I totally did it.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, oh definitely yeah, Like so I hope nobody ever
finds me I.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Did it while there's crowded evil. Yeah, Like I'm just
like weaving in and out of all the angry people.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
This is the Morning Mix for starting your day with
the Morning Mix.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
It's The Morning Mix with Matt Harrison, Liz Luda.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
No, here's your latest pop update and pop.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It is powered by Mark Spain, Real Estate, Morning Mix
Man Harris, Liz Luda and TJ. You came up with
this crazy question you saw somewhere.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yes, yes, that's all that.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
If you could replace Kevin McAllister from the movie Home
Alone with another actor or character, any other character actor,
who would it be.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It doesn't have to be a kid, it could be no, right.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It doesn't have to be a kid.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
And how would that make? Like how unhinged would make
the movie?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And right away popped into my head Liam Neeson.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
A completely different movie, A very scary movie.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, a very particular set of skills. Yes, because Neeson.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Home of though, he'd be even worse than the movie
that's always playing in the background.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
They'd be scared of him.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
What is it, It's like devils with angels wings or
something something.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, yeah, so Joe Peshi and Daniel Stow would have
a lot worse time.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Oh yeah, it'd still be funny.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Problem, it's still probably.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Although the problem is might be short movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You and I both originally had messed up thoughts because
I thought Jack Nicholson, like in The Shining.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, because I feel like he would he would enjoy
taking on You're right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (09:52):
You would from The Shining.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, it'd be like a psychological thriller, like you know whatever,
the cookies like that, that persona.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Gonna stick with the Maybe those two twins are and
those two would just run because they're scared.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
On the other end, though, you know, it would be
fun as if you pick somebody that was like super
showy and they did musicals and dance numbers where it's like,
hold on, we've.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Got to stop this dance with your hammer. That's the
only episode we're missing.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I know it would be very hard to get that
cast back together.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Well some of them, but my first thought was, wouldn't
it be funny if it was a muppet?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I don't any other Yeah, I would like to see
Charlie Brown because I hate him so much. I'd like
to Joe Peshi to win this one.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I'm gonna actually bring out an argument because you always
tell me that Lucy's a bully because she pulls the
football away from Charlie Brown over and over again. That's
what she was preparing him for, was this moment right here.
She was getting him ready for the real world.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
He never got the football. He's not gonna get Peescy
and and st He's got.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A better chance now. Otherwise he would have just been like,
come on in, steal.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It all you pick Lucy.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Oh yeah, Evan is actually kind of bullying these criminals.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He could call the police at any time, and Lucy
could give psychiatric help.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
You know what I mean. They don't only have to
pay what fifteen cents? That says?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
How about Chucky? That does change it? Oh man, that's
a good one.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Funny.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, that does make it fun.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'm actually really worried about us after seeing like our choices.
I don't think that's where most.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
People worried about it.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I really took a while. This is the Morning Mix fis.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
H R halleen heart good with DJ wins three to two.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, you were gonna do more questions than I knew

extended the whole holiday.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Okay, no I would, Okay, I'll give you one more,
all right, TJ's grandmom's name.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Okay, this is a bias. This is so biased.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is the Morning Mix, all right, Morning Mixed Matt Harris,
the quirky Liz Loudo. Always look at get social media
so you don't have to what you find.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
We got a new holiday butter.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
What I'm so excited for this, So I feel like
I helped push the trend with the turkey butter before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's not butter that tastes like turkey. It's butter in
the shape of a turkey. And I did this.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Whole thing where I ran around town trying to find it.
People called in, they gave me hot tips. I ended
up buying a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And it also happened to be right next to your
house instead of over.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Town that is neither here nor there.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
But I bought enough to put some in the freezer
because I thought we'll I'll reuse I'll use one of
these at Christmas. Right there is now another holiday butter
that has emerged here in the local Charlotte area and
it's in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I never saw it. Wouldn't want it, don't care, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Why would you not want about it?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Well? No, I got a hot tip though, so I
mean I'm gonna go and get it. Somebody found it well, no,
somebody sent me a picture of it in a store
near me.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
So I'm gonna. I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I'm one lady, all right, the holidays are I haven't
made it there yet.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I thought that was like an emergency thing, let's run out.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well it probably should be.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But I would like to say with the turkey butter,
I got tagged by multiple people, and by that I
mean too that their Thanksgiving tables included that butter. So
if you are now becoming a butter in the shape
of everyday items enthusiasts like myself, there's a new butter.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
So a better butter butter birthday cake, you know for
your birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well, it's buttered to be prepared a butter and then
the other thing comes from this room right here. If
you want to see a video that is viral, you've
got something up on your social media pages of Lexington,
North Carolina. Last year was a Christmas tree lighting.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Fail Mad Harris facebook page. Yeah, they counted it down
right bye for three two one oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
And last year how many views again, like seventeen million,
So we'd like to see if we can get him
to eighteen million this year. Yeah, just cuz you know
Matt doesn't have much going for himself right now in life.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So if we could.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Give you a w, give me a w give him,
give him a little bit of.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
A win, and I'll bring you some butter tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Now I'm back to Lucy. Yeah, here's the Morning Mix,
Morning Mix, Matt Harris, Liz Luda and we need a
dog ye update.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I'm going to the doggy cardiologists today.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I didn't even know there was such a thing, but
I guess I assume there has to be here.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I would like to point out that I do not
have a cardiologist, but my dog in fact does because
when senior dogs see me, they go, oh, this lady,
she will open up her heart and her bank account
for me. And that is one hundred percent true. But
so I've been going through a whole thing. My one dog, Gunner,
she passed at the beginning of November. Still feeling all
the emotions from that. But then my little Wiener dog,
(16:27):
she is still with us, but she has had like
this massive infection mass potentially tumory thing in her mouth,
and before we can do surgery, she's got to get
cleared by cardiology. So she is going to see the cardiologist,
and I'm nervous because I one want her to get
cleared so she can't have the surgery. But then I'll
(16:48):
get really nervous about her having the surgery. It's just
kind of like a whole thing that's just like whatever.
But yeah, so today's going to be a really long
day sitting in the waiting room with her, and then
it's filled with other pets in distress, and she doesn't
like other pets.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So you gotta check the heart on Wiener.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
You hear heart, I gotta yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay, Morning Mixed Matt Harris, Liz Luna DJ. We're looking
at some etiquette things for you. Okay, all right, it's
what they say, Uh, never raise your voice at someone
unless there's an emergency.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Oh gosh, I'm loud, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I know, somebody's raising. That's that's an excuse because I'm loud,
so raising it's just my you're right.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I don't know how to not Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
This one.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I have a problem with great people, you know, with
a single kiss on the left.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Oh no, it is. It is flu season. We are
emerging on everyone having colds.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
No things, you're going to handshake.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Either I will give you a I don't know, a
casual shoulder bump or something.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
We can do a piss I mean we can.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, but if it's somebody you know, I'm not gonna
shake their hand either.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
What about a festive wave?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah? But the kiss thing? How does that even start?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I brought this up before it to someone like, it
has to be kind of announced, right, because you can't
just suddenly if I walked in and went to you.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Guys, could you imagine it would be so weird?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I think I might smack you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But I saw a show or doctor it was a
movie actually today and they all greeted themselves like it's
they were a marrying and then they read some fancy
thing and they all did that, and I'm like, how
did this get started?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
How did I guess? You can marry into a family
that does it? But you got to be warned, right.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I feel like, yeah, I'd have to be warned otherwise
I'm gonna go into fight or flight and I'm either
going to be running from you or shoving you. So
I don't think this is gonna end well, So that
does not play into etiquette for me. I know that
that don't touch me.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's it's in a lot cultural in a lot of places.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And that's fine, but you gotta warn me.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
We're all gonna do this from now on. We're doing this.
I mean, the fist pump up has become much more popular,
like especially really casual settings to see a buddy or something.
You're just like, yeah, I just.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Don't touch people and I don't want to be touched.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, I mean I don't mind the fist pump at all.
If you need, you should always find a signature gift
that you can give to almost anyone for almost any occasion.
You stock up and so you have them.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Oh good.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I mean I used to buy things on clearance in
that way if I needed an emergency gift, but.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
A specific candle, a specific champagne, a specific short book,
surprise people when they get married, have a kid, celebrate
a birthday, take a dinner and bite you over their house.
Just you have a bunch of these things. And they
say one of the things is olive oil. Could be
one and just have it at the ready so you're
never empty handed and you don't have to make that
last minute stop to get something.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I would make that last minute stop when I'm making pasta,
and I'd eat it by accidental.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, I mean it is a good idea. I don't
do it, but it is.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I feel like I would tap into the rations because
I know.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Somebody had like a little gift closet. Yeah, because sometimes
people stop buying they give you right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and so then you go in and steal something from
your kid. I'm here this star wars the Doll.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Yeah, I think I'm just rude. Don't touch me, don't
gift me, don't anything.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It's the Morning Mix in the morning.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
It's the Morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Ludo.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
All right, these are things that women who still love
their husband after years of marriage, small things when is obvious.
They say thank you often.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Okay, I say thank.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You too much. Liz struggles with this and probably you're
comfortable with silence.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I'm okay with him in silence.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Him in silence.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Oh yeah, well no, I.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Mean, like I can sit in a silent room with him.
I usually start talking, but like sometimes you know, he
has to take.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
A nap pretending to Yeah. Couples who perceive you know,
spending time together silently, as as anxiety like they're worried
is quiet it makes them uncomfortable. That means you have
a disconnected relationship. Oh, if you're able to just sit
alone with each other quietly, that's a good sign.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Okay, all right, I mean I don't have anxiety when
it's quiet. I'm still going to try to fill the
silence though.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Okay, yeah, well let's stop that. They give their husband
grace and now this is going to go for both sexes.
I get it, but it's just written like that. Women
who still love their husbands after years of marriage often
give them grace and seek out forgive forgiveness. They don't
sweep fishes under the rug, but they give grace and
they don't hold onto angs.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah. I always assume the best and I move on
really quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
This is where I think I'm unhealthy, though, I like,
just get it out, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
But like, yeah, I raise my voice.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
But sometimes you yeah, I'll be like what do you
mean you did that?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And then fast forward like two minutes later, I'll be like,
you want a snack?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, there's sometimes if you just let it go for
I'm not saying the sweet on the rud, but if
you let it go, I don't want to fester. Fifteen
minutes later, you're like, even right, is that festering because
it just goes away?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Because it doesn't. It wasn't a major dea.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
I've never made it the fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I yes, I believe that. All right, celebrate small wins.
I get that absolutely. Uh and uh, you know they
notice the details, notice the new haircut, notice whether they're
in a good food or bad mood. Yeah, we get it.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We know you know what the thing is. And this
has shown up in a lot of TikTok videos lately,
is knowing what their order would be at a restaurant,
like something so tiny like that, like they'll stop and
like they'll know what to get you.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
There's no way they should because I'm different every time,
not at all. I don't want you to know I change.
I don't have a go to I.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Have a standing idea of what I wanted every single
restaurant I've ever been to. Jeez, yeah, I don't change it.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, yeah, you are food person.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yeah, and he.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Knows, and he knows you better get me at least
four sweet and sour sauces.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He doesn't like just call and ask what you need no.
I mean, he doesn't say I'm going through the drive through,
do you want something?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Or he just assumes I want something.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
He knows me.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
That's knowing your partner.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Morning Mixed Party Mixed Matt Harris, Liz Luda, TJ. Do
you know I never heard this term and I like
it resting gift face as opposed you know what else?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, I've never heard it, but I like it also.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Over half Americans have needed to use their resting gift
face during the holidays, masking their disappointment with a poorly
presented gift.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It's the expression someone gives intentionally or unintentionally and receiving
a gift that poses confusions or questions. This is a
what is this? This is a gift? What's happening?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah? Resting gift face? And on average, a person received
two gifts they simply didn't like in the past three years.
And one of the reasons they don't like it because
of incomplete wrapping that is weird. Uh, mismatched holiday themes
one like, who, who's even thinking about that? Liz?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Maybe the gifting thing, but they ask you, what do
you say when you get something you don't like, oh
my gosh, I love it. That is number two twenty
three percent. That's me, you lie, which is okay. The
number one sounds so passive aggressive. The number one twenty
seven percent say this, thank you for thinking of me?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
That is that passive aggressive?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Oh man, thank you for thinking about you. It may
be it's close to that. I'm immediately thinking that they
didn't like it. Thank you for thinking of me is
in no way saying anything about the gift. It's like, oh,
thanks for this piece of crap. That's what they're still appreciative.
But I've there, Yes, the thought.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah, I guess. And then do you include with that,
like that's so thoughtful of you?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Thank you that that uh, well, it's the thought that
count is a number eight.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well know that if you say that, you don't say
that out loud.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's only in your head. Yeah, and number so thank
you for thinking of me. One. Two, I love it.
Three I really appreciate that. That's good. Yeah, that's probably
closer to where I am.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Four.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You shouldn't have, literally, you definitely should you shouldn't have.
Number five. What a thoughtful present? Number six, what a
great present? All right? There you go, and they say
people said they avoiding eye contact clearest sign of gift dissatisfaction.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Oh then I bet you know one thinks you've ever
ever looked like actually, never make eye contact.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I read it once, so now I really focus.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Stop looking at me. Now you're making me a Carroll
eye contact.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
In this moment.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
It's too much.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Whenever anybody brings up my lack of eye contact and
then I start looking at that, they all get freaked
out because it's too much. It go right to your soul.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
It's like staring at the sun. You think it's gonna
be a good thing, and.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
It's just not.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Avoiding eye contact. The sign of disc dissatisfaction a fake smile,
changing the tone of their voice, or talking over talking
about how much you love it. Oh yeah, don't do
that like that you would?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Do you do that with the gifts you like or
just the ones you don't like?
Speaker 7 (26:01):
You?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I think as I've gotten older, I've tried to really
balance it out so you can't tell as much.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, you're an over explainer on things.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yeah, I'm like, oh my gosh, I love this.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It's awkward, and then.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Oh I love this too. So if you just love everything,
then it just kind of makes it.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Uh, could you just I go, this is great to
get a receipt. Yeah, and this is kind of amusing.
More than half the people in the survey say they're
great at concealing disappointment if something they don't like, but
more than half saying they can tell right away when
somebody doesn't like a gift. So that disconnect there. I
think you can tell because there's kind of a pause, Yeah,
(26:37):
an intentional pause where you're trying to go through your head.
Do they really mean to get this from me? What's
happening right now?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
But it's the solution.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Just get flawless gifts every time.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
That's that's what you think you do, right, Yeah, I'm terrible,
gift of me terrible. I'm terrible remembering what people want
throughout the year, Like I could not. I don't. I'm
a terrible person. I've come to you. No, I don't
pay attention to whether people like or want. And then
the pressure gets to me and I'm like, oh, it's
just not get anybody can. Here's fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Cash.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
The most thoughtful of all kids.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yes, that's exactly right. It's The Morning Mix, Good Morning Mixed,
Matt Harris, Liz Luda, TJ, Lorraine Rutting Now and you
were braless.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That was brost and a big lots, And I just
want to say, I feel like the pride of Gaston
County lately. I've really just been letting us down.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's a very appropriate place, but you know, but to
be braless is it?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I don't know, have you gonna pick one?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
So no, Gaston County is way classy.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I'm gonna go ahead and put that out there because
I take stairs for the whatever. So what had happened
is I had bought on clearance from Big Lots these
blow molds that look like the antique Christmas trees with
the lights on them, a blow mold. Those are the
outdoor decorations that are the harder plastic.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, like old school, but now they're coming back.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And so I bought them and then I did an
in store pickup and I I just did the whole
thing on my phone and it is what it is.
And so I had been cleaning, and you know the
clothes that you wear to clean like you're gonna get
bleach on them, there's holes in them.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You just don't care.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Right, I get a notification it's ready to get picked up,
and I was like, I would love to add this
to my collection. I don't feel like getting dressed, and
I was gonna send my husband and he was like,
just come with, and I was like, I don't want to,
and he's like, come with. Just stay in the car,
and I was like, all right, this will be fine.
So we go to the big Lots. I sit out
in the parking lot, which, by the way, I make
him park all the way in the back so fewer
(28:31):
people can make eye contact with me because I know
just how bad I'm looking. But you're just in your car, listen.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I mean, spectations aren't high flop, and I think.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You underestimate Big Lots and Gaston County. But that aside.
My husband comes out all excited and he brings me
two of the glass antique looking Christmas trees with the lights.
Those were not on sale.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Those are not what I ordered.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I've ordered these blow molds, and I know that those
were substantially more expensive.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
One.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I didn't want to get the sales associate in trouble
because this is just a giant mix up. This is
a mistake. Right.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
So I go to him.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I'm like, that's not the right thing. You have to
take that back in there and let them know. And
so I set him in with my phone and so
he comes back out and he's like, well, because it's
your name on the account, it's your card with your name,
you have to go inside. And I was like, I'm
not going inside like this. And the big loss is
twenty minutes from my house and that's a lot of
commitment to drive home to get a bra. So I
(29:31):
was like, just go in there and freshure, try to
get them to come out to it. But it's more
than that, like there are holes in my clothes. It's
old gray, thin sweat ponds. So anyways, I'm like, go
in there and try to convince them. And the best
he could do was get them to meet me at
the door. Well, there are a lot of people that
are taking advantage of these holiday decorse sales. So here
(29:52):
I am at the main entrance, just everything out for
everyone to see. My hair every much way, like I mean,
you're welcome, make up, it's rough. And so the guy
is still very confused, and I keep trying to explain
to him, no, no, no, this is a blow mold
of the antique looking tree you gave me.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
This is clearly something.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Different, and so long story short, they're like, we're gonna
have to take it inside and do it as a
return then, even though they had like mislabeled it.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
So now I'm.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Walking through the Big Loss after greeting everyone, being the
world's most giant mess. And then it was very complicated,
and it's not like the one employee could do it,
because then he had to get a manager involved.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
The next thing you know, I'm surrounded by all the employees.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I'm pretty sure the person that sells the furniture has
wandered over. There is I'm sure the security, and everyone's
just looking at.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Me, and I'm just trying to explain that this is
not the correct tree.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I'm not angry, but this is not what I purchased,
and it.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Was a giant mess.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And so if you saw me boos the poppet in
the Big Loss.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I am sorry, I am sure, I'm pat.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I don't think life is very hectic.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
This time of year.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I think it was just very big lots of guest odia.
You were.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
It wasn't a classier part of gassing sound.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
In Gaston County. I'm surprised somebody didn't hand you their card.
We're looking for models.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Moving forward.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
There will be a sports Braa in my trunk from
here on out, just in case I'm in an emergency situation.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Again, it's the Morning Mixing in the morning.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
It's The Morning Mixed with Matt Harris and Liz Ludo.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
They're calling them de influencers. People are doing things on
social media to kind of tell you that you need
to follow all the trends.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
You don't have to buy everything just because you see it.
And so I thought, this is going to be great.
I need some help spending less money. But everything that
they're putting on the list I thought was just normal.
So the first thing was doing your nails at home?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Do they look good? God? No, Look at my nails.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
They're a little messy. Hopefully everybody's got blurry vision and
you can't tell it around the edges. I painted my
skin a little bit more than just the nail. But
I thought we yeah, like, I thought again, you know,
it's like maybe a special treat for prompt Yeah, no,
your wedding these days. Then the other one was wearing
the same outfit it did say, you could do it
like more than once a week.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
But in general, I have like a Tuesday outfit. I
have a Wednesday outfit.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Have you never noticed that I'll like repeat the same
five outfits even though I have two closets busting at
the seams with clothes.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You have, like don't you try you wear a different
Christmas thing every day or something?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, but like take that out of the equation, right,
but think about the rest of the year. I will
just literally run a rotation of the same outfits and
then one day I'll just go, oh, it's.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Time to just change them out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Really, Okay, this is my Wednesday card again. I mean
I wore it on a Yeah, on a Thursday. I
stepped out of my comfort zone today.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
That's crazy to me. I mean I have a I
obviously don't own a bunch of clothes, and I have
like five black T shirts.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
So all right, so you fall into that.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
The other one was having one perfume instead of like
a whole things set up I got. I don't know
we could afford more than one perfume. Yeah, we're lucky
if we have a body splash on retainer.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Right now at my house, I've lived with various women
over the years, whether they're daughters or wives. Wives at
the same time.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Oh cheese.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
But there's a ton of bathroom stuff. Yeah, we never
finish one. There's always a new one along, like new whatever,
and there's new.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
So this is what the de influencing is for, because me,
I'm like literally adding water at the end of things
and shaking it.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. This is the Morning Mix Morning Mix,
Matt Harris, Liz Luda, Prizzer, TJ.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
What This is my holiday hack. I share it every year.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
I feel very strongly about it, and it is that
you should always volunteer to bring the charcouterie for any
type of holiday get together because you can turn it
into pasta salad. So when you go out there and
you're picking your salamis and your cheese and your pepper
rings and all the different things, think about what would.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Be delicious in a pasta salad. And at the end
of the day.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Now, obviously don't do this after a work thing where
you don't know how jeremy some of the guests are.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
But just in general, when you get.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Large quantities of people, I don't let's just look at you.
I don't know how often you're washing your hands.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
So I am just saying you think about.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
If I were to boil pasta, put it in the fridge.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Let it chill, and then I come home.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Just put all the remnants of the sharkouterie in there,
a bottle of Italian dressing, shake it up, and you've
got the meal.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
For the next day and a half.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
But I saw someone on TikTok who upgraded this. She said,
plan ahead for the grilled cheese that you want, and
make sure you don't fully slice eats block of cheese
or put all of the meat on the charcuterie board,
because that way you could have something like a pepper
jelly bree capricole. Well capricole would be terrible mixed with that,
(34:52):
but some type of a pershudo and make the perfect mixtures.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Are you allowed to take your leftover zone?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I supposed to ask, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
He brought it to a party. You don't take it home?
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Do they're gonna just throw it out?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You leave it with them? Oh, I think right, I
don't know. This is the morning mixed

and I said all of them.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
But she was Reality TV Gold. And there's just.

This iconic scene when my mother yelled that this is

Speaker 2 (02:41):
Oh? Boy? I trying to be naughtier right?
Speaker 3 (02:47):
I know the dream if you're like a rule follower
and you're like, I'm on the nice list. Oh, I
gay didn't steal any cars recently.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
This is the Morning Mixer.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Fis for starting your day with a morning mix with
Matt Harris and Liz Luda.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Morning Mix Matt Harris, Liz Luda, Good morning do you?
And Good morning to TJ. Did you guys get allowance
as a kid?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
No?
Speaker 3 (03:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Did you?
Speaker 6 (03:13):
Yeah? Like it was like five dollars a week, but
it was already like my parents were already like, hey,
half of this goes into saving Oh I ended up
like dolls.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
That's super cool though, and then they stolen.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
All Oh okay, yeah, having up for.
Speaker 6 (03:29):
A bicycle and I knew I had like one hundred
and eighty dollars it was gone, and it was and
they bet eight dollars.
Speaker 2 (03:36):
They were uh, oh no, it's still to this day.
And my parents were in and out they like I am.
They would do it for like a few weeks and
they'd be out blah blah blah for while we did.
Like they would give us poker chips you were supposed
to cash in at the end. Oh, and then you
get to the end of the weekend, like we don't
know them. Yeah, we don't have any cash.
Speaker 6 (03:53):
Come on.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
And I kind of was in and out with my
kids like two for a while. But then eventually they're like,
I don't I'm not gonna weed no matter how much
you pay me. Forty New report the average child's allowance
fifty two dollars a month, thirteen dollars a week.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
Rough Honestly, I probably spend more than that on him
or like you know what I mean.
Speaker 6 (04:10):
But on like fun stuff or like like stuff that
he would normally buy with.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
You know, yeah, fun stuff.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
I bet, yeah, probably fun stuff. I hate to say that,
but he's not spoiled because well I'm in the wrong
income bracket to call my kids.
Speaker 4 (04:26):
Spoiled, but like he's spoiled.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Ye had a lot, a lot of no's what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
He gets to know sometimes, but like you know, he
doesn't have that many hobbies. If he wants this fun
pen by the time I add up like a fun
pen and then he gets another notebook.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
To draw and do it. It just it adds up
some more than that.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
If you look at inflation, you you're paying a let's
say a twelve dollars a twelve year old thirteen dollars
a week.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
It's safe, so.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
Parents in their forties, that'd be twenty two dollars per
month or five fifty food, so you know, it's like double.
So it's if you're thinking, oh that's not I'm I
got well, justin for inflation, you don't have to get
full like you had five bucks, right yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's basically twelve bucks a week or so okay.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
I mean inflation and money has definitely changed because one
time the tooth fairy accidentally left a twenty dollars bill
for my kid, So he is also not financially prepared.
Speaker 4 (05:15):
Just like me.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Yeah yeah, oh yeah, I was in and out. I
would do it, hold up tight for a while and not.
Seventy percent of parents say their children can handle money responsively.
Speaker 4 (05:25):
What oh, that.
Speaker 2 (05:27):
Seems way too high. Yeah. Uh. Fifty percent of parents
still do it in cash. Another third do it through
digital laps like Venmo or whatever, or preloaded debit cards.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
Okay, that sort of thing. So my kid would ask
for gift cards, he would just want Roebucks.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
But even that, I have to dole that out.
Speaker 3 (05:45):
When I do get him Roebucks because he, I mean,
he wants to buy every hat, everything he could possibly
do to dress up his avatar or whatever.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
It's The Morning Mix. Morning Mix Matt Harris, Liz Luda
and TJ found this newsnut. It is from the Once
Upon a Child in Spartanburg facebook page.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
It's like a thrift shop.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
Thrift shop, Yeah, once upon a Child.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
You're secondhand, Yeah, kids closed toys.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
And it says on the facebook page we had a
friendly visitor. Her name is Anna. She told us today
we have all the information and we appreciate her bringing
in her items, but while doing this, she also took
items that did not belong to her. If anyone knows Anna,
please ask her to return the items, or we'd be
contacting the local authorities. Spartanburg Police Department. Oh link share
(06:33):
coming for a chance to win a five dollars baby buck.
But I think that's an old probably hashtag that wasn't nice.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
I wonder though, maybe when because it said she brought
in her items, did she accidentally scoop up something else
by accident.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Or they wouldn't do that. Yeah, I think this is
no accidental. I think so too, because or didn't think that.
I forgot they had given them all the information. Whatever.
Speaker 6 (07:02):
You just handed over your ID so they could sell you,
give you some money for your clothing.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah right, yeah, I got this A little quick one.
A London commuter charged with walking wrong way an escalator
at train station. She appeared in court. She's thirty two
years old.
Speaker 3 (07:17):
Are you not allowed to do that?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Not allowed to at least over there? She used or
attempted to use an escalator other than by standing or
walking on it in the direction intended for travel. It's
not known whether she tried to go up the down
or down the up. She could be fine thirteen hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (07:36):
WHOA.
Speaker 2 (07:37):
She was in court and the court took three hours,
Like what, yes, going the wrong thirteen hundred bucks going
up of everything?
Speaker 3 (07:47):
Yeah, but was the other one broken? Was she doing
it to be funny? Was this she because I've done that?
Speaker 2 (07:52):
I have details, but I'm guessing that's not the case,
or they would drop it. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
I saw a thing one time where they had like
the escalator the one side it was like down and
had like the little caution tape and you couldn't use
it and it was just going.
Speaker 4 (08:03):
The other direction. This was at an airport. It's a
shame on me.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
And then it was really far to walk to the stairs,
and so I just I've gone down. I totally did it.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Yeah, oh definitely yeah, Like so I hope nobody ever
finds me I.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
Did it while there's crowded evil. Yeah, Like I'm just
like weaving in and out of all the angry people.
Speaker 1 (08:24):
This is the Morning Mix for starting your day with
the Morning Mix.
Speaker 7 (08:28):
It's The Morning Mix with Matt Harrison, Liz Luda.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
No, here's your latest pop update and pop.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It is powered by Mark Spain, Real Estate, Morning Mix
Man Harris, Liz Luda and TJ. You came up with
this crazy question you saw somewhere.
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yes, yes, that's all that.
Speaker 6 (08:43):
If you could replace Kevin McAllister from the movie Home
Alone with another actor or character, any other character actor,
who would it be.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
It doesn't have to be a kid, it could be no, right.
Speaker 3 (08:55):
It doesn't have to be a kid.
Speaker 6 (08:56):
And how would that make? Like how unhinged would make
the movie?
Speaker 2 (09:00):
And right away popped into my head Liam Neeson.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
A completely different movie, A very scary movie.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
Yeah, a very particular set of skills. Yes, because Neeson.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Home of though, he'd be even worse than the movie
that's always playing in the background.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
They'd be scared of him.
Speaker 6 (09:22):
What is it, It's like devils with angels wings or
something something.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Yeah, yeah, so Joe Peshi and Daniel Stow would have
a lot worse time.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Oh yeah, it'd still be funny.
Speaker 4 (09:33):
Problem, it's still probably.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
Although the problem is might be short movie. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
You and I both originally had messed up thoughts because
I thought Jack Nicholson, like in The Shining.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
Yeah, because I feel like he would he would enjoy
taking on You're right, you know what I mean?
Speaker 6 (09:52):
You would from The Shining.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
Yeah, it'd be like a psychological thriller, like you know whatever,
the cookies like that, that persona.
Speaker 2 (09:59):
Gonna stick with the Maybe those two twins are and
those two would just run because they're scared.
Speaker 1 (10:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:08):
On the other end, though, you know, it would be
fun as if you pick somebody that was like super
showy and they did musicals and dance numbers where it's like,
hold on, we've.
Speaker 4 (10:14):
Got to stop this dance with your hammer. That's the
only episode we're missing.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
I know it would be very hard to get that
cast back together.
Speaker 6 (10:24):
Well some of them, but my first thought was, wouldn't
it be funny if it was a muppet?
Speaker 2 (10:30):
I don't any other Yeah, I would like to see
Charlie Brown because I hate him so much. I'd like
to Joe Peshi to win this one.
Speaker 3 (10:42):
I'm gonna actually bring out an argument because you always
tell me that Lucy's a bully because she pulls the
football away from Charlie Brown over and over again. That's
what she was preparing him for, was this moment right here.
She was getting him ready for the real world.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
He never got the football. He's not gonna get Peescy
and and st He's got.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
A better chance now. Otherwise he would have just been like,
come on in, steal.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
It all you pick Lucy.
Speaker 6 (11:03):
Oh yeah, Evan is actually kind of bullying these criminals.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
He could call the police at any time, and Lucy
could give psychiatric help.
Speaker 4 (11:14):
You know what I mean. They don't only have to
pay what fifteen cents? That says?
Speaker 2 (11:19):
How about Chucky? That does change it? Oh man, that's
a good one.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
Funny.
Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, that does make it fun.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
I'm actually really worried about us after seeing like our choices.
I don't think that's where most.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
People worried about it.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
I really took a while. This is the Morning Mix fis.

Speaker 4 (13:11):
H R halleen heart good with DJ wins three to two.
Speaker 3 (13:16):
Oh, you were gonna do more questions than I knew

extended the whole holiday.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
Okay, no I would, Okay, I'll give you one more,
all right, TJ's grandmom's name.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Okay, this is a bias. This is so biased.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
This is the Morning Mix, all right, Morning Mixed Matt Harris,
the quirky Liz Loudo. Always look at get social media
so you don't have to what you find.
Speaker 4 (13:43):
We got a new holiday butter.
Speaker 3 (13:45):
What I'm so excited for this, So I feel like
I helped push the trend with the turkey butter before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
It's not butter that tastes like turkey. It's butter in
the shape of a turkey. And I did this.
Speaker 3 (13:55):
Whole thing where I ran around town trying to find it.
People called in, they gave me hot tips. I ended
up buying a couple of them.
Speaker 2 (14:01):
And it also happened to be right next to your
house instead of over.
Speaker 4 (14:04):
Town that is neither here nor there.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
But I bought enough to put some in the freezer
because I thought we'll I'll reuse I'll use one of
these at Christmas. Right there is now another holiday butter
that has emerged here in the local Charlotte area and
it's in the shape of a Christmas tree.
Speaker 2 (14:21):
I never saw it. Wouldn't want it, don't care, but yeah.
Speaker 4 (14:24):
Why would you not want about it?
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Well? No, I got a hot tip though, so I
mean I'm gonna go and get it. Somebody found it well, no,
somebody sent me a picture of it in a store
near me.
Speaker 4 (14:34):
So I'm gonna. I'm gonna.
Speaker 3 (14:35):
I'm one lady, all right, the holidays are I haven't
made it there yet.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
I thought that was like an emergency thing, let's run out.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Well it probably should be.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
But I would like to say with the turkey butter,
I got tagged by multiple people, and by that I
mean too that their Thanksgiving tables included that butter. So
if you are now becoming a butter in the shape
of everyday items enthusiasts like myself, there's a new butter.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
So a better butter butter birthday cake, you know for
your birthday.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Well, it's buttered to be prepared a butter and then
the other thing comes from this room right here. If
you want to see a video that is viral, you've
got something up on your social media pages of Lexington,
North Carolina. Last year was a Christmas tree lighting.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Fail Mad Harris facebook page. Yeah, they counted it down
right bye for three two one oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
And last year how many views again, like seventeen million,
So we'd like to see if we can get him
to eighteen million this year. Yeah, just cuz you know
Matt doesn't have much going for himself right now in life.
Speaker 4 (15:44):
So if we could.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Give you a w, give me a w give him,
give him a little bit of.
Speaker 4 (15:48):
A win, and I'll bring you some butter tomorrow.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Now I'm back to Lucy. Yeah, here's the Morning Mix,
Morning Mix, Matt Harris, Liz Luda and we need a
dog ye update.
Speaker 4 (15:59):
I'm going to the doggy cardiologists today.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
I didn't even know there was such a thing, but
I guess I assume there has to be here.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
Yeah, yeah, it makes sense.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
I would like to point out that I do not
have a cardiologist, but my dog in fact does because
when senior dogs see me, they go, oh, this lady,
she will open up her heart and her bank account
for me. And that is one hundred percent true. But
so I've been going through a whole thing. My one dog, Gunner,
she passed at the beginning of November. Still feeling all
the emotions from that. But then my little Wiener dog,
(16:27):
she is still with us, but she has had like
this massive infection mass potentially tumory thing in her mouth,
and before we can do surgery, she's got to get
cleared by cardiology. So she is going to see the cardiologist,
and I'm nervous because I one want her to get
cleared so she can't have the surgery. But then I'll
(16:48):
get really nervous about her having the surgery. It's just
kind of like a whole thing that's just like whatever.
But yeah, so today's going to be a really long
day sitting in the waiting room with her, and then
it's filled with other pets in distress, and she doesn't
like other pets.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
So you gotta check the heart on Wiener.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
You hear heart, I gotta yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2 (17:12):
Okay, Morning Mixed Matt Harris, Liz Luna DJ. We're looking
at some etiquette things for you. Okay, all right, it's
what they say, Uh, never raise your voice at someone
unless there's an emergency.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
Oh gosh, I'm loud, no matter what.
Speaker 2 (17:28):
I know, somebody's raising. That's that's an excuse because I'm loud,
so raising it's just my you're right.
Speaker 4 (17:35):
Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (17:36):
I don't know how to not Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:39):
This one.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
I have a problem with great people, you know, with
a single kiss on the left.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
Oh no, it is. It is flu season. We are
emerging on everyone having colds.
Speaker 2 (17:51):
No things, you're going to handshake.
Speaker 3 (17:52):
Either I will give you a I don't know, a
casual shoulder bump or something.
Speaker 4 (17:59):
We can do a piss I mean we can.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, but if it's somebody you know, I'm not gonna
shake their hand either.
Speaker 4 (18:04):
What about a festive wave?
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Yeah? But the kiss thing? How does that even start?
Speaker 6 (18:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I brought this up before it to someone like, it
has to be kind of announced, right, because you can't
just suddenly if I walked in and went to you.
Speaker 3 (18:17):
Guys, could you imagine it would be so weird?
Speaker 4 (18:19):
I think I might smack you.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
But I saw a show or doctor it was a
movie actually today and they all greeted themselves like it's
they were a marrying and then they read some fancy
thing and they all did that, and I'm like, how
did this get started?
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Like?
Speaker 2 (18:31):
How did I guess? You can marry into a family
that does it? But you got to be warned, right.
Speaker 3 (18:35):
I feel like, yeah, I'd have to be warned otherwise
I'm gonna go into fight or flight and I'm either
going to be running from you or shoving you. So
I don't think this is gonna end well, So that
does not play into etiquette for me. I know that
that don't touch me.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
It's it's in a lot cultural in a lot of places.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
And that's fine, but you gotta warn me.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
We're all gonna do this from now on. We're doing this.
I mean, the fist pump up has become much more popular,
like especially really casual settings to see a buddy or something.
You're just like, yeah, I just.
Speaker 3 (19:07):
Don't touch people and I don't want to be touched.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
Well, I mean I don't mind the fist pump at all.
If you need, you should always find a signature gift
that you can give to almost anyone for almost any occasion.
You stock up and so you have them.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Oh good.
Speaker 3 (19:23):
I mean I used to buy things on clearance in
that way if I needed an emergency gift, but.
Speaker 2 (19:27):
A specific candle, a specific champagne, a specific short book,
surprise people when they get married, have a kid, celebrate
a birthday, take a dinner and bite you over their house.
Just you have a bunch of these things. And they
say one of the things is olive oil. Could be
one and just have it at the ready so you're
never empty handed and you don't have to make that
last minute stop to get something.
Speaker 3 (19:48):
I would make that last minute stop when I'm making pasta,
and I'd eat it by accidental.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
Yeah, I mean it is a good idea. I don't
do it, but it is.
Speaker 3 (19:56):
I feel like I would tap into the rations because
I know.
Speaker 2 (19:59):
Somebody had like a little gift closet. Yeah, because sometimes
people stop buying they give you right, yeah, yeah, yeah,
and so then you go in and steal something from
your kid. I'm here this star wars the Doll.
Speaker 3 (20:12):
Yeah, I think I'm just rude. Don't touch me, don't
gift me, don't anything.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
It's the Morning Mix in the morning.
Speaker 7 (20:19):
It's the Morning mixed with Matt Harrison, Liz Ludo.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
All right, these are things that women who still love
their husband after years of marriage, small things when is obvious.
They say thank you often.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Okay, I say thank.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You too much. Liz struggles with this and probably you're
comfortable with silence.
Speaker 4 (20:40):
I'm okay with him in silence.
Speaker 2 (20:42):
Him in silence.
Speaker 4 (20:43):
Oh yeah, well no, I.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
Mean, like I can sit in a silent room with him.
I usually start talking, but like sometimes you know, he
has to take.
Speaker 2 (20:50):
A nap pretending to Yeah. Couples who perceive you know,
spending time together silently, as as anxiety like they're worried
is quiet it makes them uncomfortable. That means you have
a disconnected relationship. Oh, if you're able to just sit
alone with each other quietly, that's a good sign.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
Okay, all right, I mean I don't have anxiety when
it's quiet. I'm still going to try to fill the
silence though.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
Okay, yeah, well let's stop that. They give their husband
grace and now this is going to go for both sexes.
I get it, but it's just written like that. Women
who still love their husbands after years of marriage often
give them grace and seek out forgive forgiveness. They don't
sweep fishes under the rug, but they give grace and
they don't hold onto angs.
Speaker 4 (21:38):
Yeah. I always assume the best and I move on
really quickly.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
This is where I think I'm unhealthy, though, I like,
just get it out, you know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (21:47):
But like, yeah, I raise my voice.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
But sometimes you yeah, I'll be like what do you
mean you did that?
Speaker 5 (21:53):
What?
Speaker 3 (21:55):
And then fast forward like two minutes later, I'll be like,
you want a snack?
Speaker 2 (21:59):
Yeah, there's sometimes if you just let it go for
I'm not saying the sweet on the rud, but if
you let it go, I don't want to fester. Fifteen
minutes later, you're like, even right, is that festering because
it just goes away?
Speaker 5 (22:11):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Because it doesn't. It wasn't a major dea.
Speaker 4 (22:13):
I've never made it the fifteen minutes.
Speaker 2 (22:14):
I yes, I believe that. All right, celebrate small wins.
I get that absolutely. Uh and uh, you know they
notice the details, notice the new haircut, notice whether they're
in a good food or bad mood. Yeah, we get it.
Speaker 3 (22:30):
We know you know what the thing is. And this
has shown up in a lot of TikTok videos lately,
is knowing what their order would be at a restaurant,
like something so tiny like that, like they'll stop and
like they'll know what to get you.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
There's no way they should because I'm different every time,
not at all. I don't want you to know I change.
I don't have a go to I.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
Have a standing idea of what I wanted every single
restaurant I've ever been to. Jeez, yeah, I don't change it.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Well, yeah, you are food person.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Yeah, and he.
Speaker 3 (22:57):
Knows, and he knows you better get me at least
four sweet and sour sauces.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
He doesn't like just call and ask what you need no.
I mean, he doesn't say I'm going through the drive through,
do you want something?
Speaker 4 (23:06):
Or he just assumes I want something.
Speaker 2 (23:08):
He knows me.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
That's knowing your partner.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
Morning Mixed Party Mixed Matt Harris, Liz Luda, TJ. Do
you know I never heard this term and I like
it resting gift face as opposed you know what else?
Speaker 4 (23:20):
Yeah, I've never heard it, but I like it also.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Over half Americans have needed to use their resting gift
face during the holidays, masking their disappointment with a poorly
presented gift.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (23:32):
It's the expression someone gives intentionally or unintentionally and receiving
a gift that poses confusions or questions. This is a
what is this? This is a gift? What's happening?
Speaker 3 (23:41):
Right?
Speaker 2 (23:41):
Yeah? Resting gift face? And on average, a person received
two gifts they simply didn't like in the past three years.
And one of the reasons they don't like it because
of incomplete wrapping that is weird. Uh, mismatched holiday themes
one like, who, who's even thinking about that? Liz?
Speaker 6 (23:59):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (24:00):
Maybe the gifting thing, but they ask you, what do
you say when you get something you don't like, oh
my gosh, I love it. That is number two twenty
three percent. That's me, you lie, which is okay. The
number one sounds so passive aggressive. The number one twenty
seven percent say this, thank you for thinking of me?
Speaker 3 (24:23):
That is that passive aggressive?
Speaker 2 (24:24):
Oh man, thank you for thinking about you. It may
be it's close to that. I'm immediately thinking that they
didn't like it. Thank you for thinking of me is
in no way saying anything about the gift. It's like, oh,
thanks for this piece of crap. That's what they're still appreciative.
But I've there, Yes, the thought.
Speaker 4 (24:42):
Yeah, I guess. And then do you include with that,
like that's so thoughtful of you?
Speaker 2 (24:45):
Thank you that that uh, well, it's the thought that
count is a number eight.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Well know that if you say that, you don't say
that out loud.
Speaker 2 (24:53):
That's only in your head. Yeah, and number so thank
you for thinking of me. One. Two, I love it.
Three I really appreciate that. That's good. Yeah, that's probably
closer to where I am.
Speaker 3 (25:02):
Four.
Speaker 2 (25:03):
You shouldn't have, literally, you definitely should you shouldn't have.
Number five. What a thoughtful present? Number six, what a
great present? All right? There you go, and they say
people said they avoiding eye contact clearest sign of gift dissatisfaction.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Oh then I bet you know one thinks you've ever
ever looked like actually, never make eye contact.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
I read it once, so now I really focus.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Stop looking at me. Now you're making me a Carroll
eye contact.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
In this moment.
Speaker 2 (25:30):
I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (25:30):
It's too much.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
Whenever anybody brings up my lack of eye contact and
then I start looking at that, they all get freaked
out because it's too much. It go right to your soul.
Speaker 4 (25:39):
It's like staring at the sun. You think it's gonna
be a good thing, and.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
It's just not.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
It's not.
Speaker 2 (25:45):
Avoiding eye contact. The sign of disc dissatisfaction a fake smile,
changing the tone of their voice, or talking over talking
about how much you love it. Oh yeah, don't do
that like that you would?
Speaker 3 (25:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
Do you do that with the gifts you like or
just the ones you don't like?
Speaker 7 (26:01):
You?
Speaker 3 (26:02):
I think as I've gotten older, I've tried to really
balance it out so you can't tell as much.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Yeah, you're an over explainer on things.
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Yeah, I'm like, oh my gosh, I love this.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
It's awkward, and then.
Speaker 3 (26:11):
Oh I love this too. So if you just love everything,
then it just kind of makes it.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
Uh, could you just I go, this is great to
get a receipt. Yeah, and this is kind of amusing.
More than half the people in the survey say they're
great at concealing disappointment if something they don't like, but
more than half saying they can tell right away when
somebody doesn't like a gift. So that disconnect there. I
think you can tell because there's kind of a pause, Yeah,
(26:37):
an intentional pause where you're trying to go through your head.
Do they really mean to get this from me? What's
happening right now?
Speaker 3 (26:43):
Right?
Speaker 4 (26:43):
But it's the solution.
Speaker 3 (26:44):
Just get flawless gifts every time.
Speaker 2 (26:46):
That's that's what you think you do, right, Yeah, I'm terrible,
gift of me terrible. I'm terrible remembering what people want
throughout the year, Like I could not. I don't. I'm
a terrible person. I've come to you. No, I don't
pay attention to whether people like or want. And then
the pressure gets to me and I'm like, oh, it's
just not get anybody can. Here's fifty dollars.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Cash.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
The most thoughtful of all kids.
Speaker 2 (27:09):
Yes, that's exactly right. It's The Morning Mix, Good Morning Mixed,
Matt Harris, Liz Luda, TJ, Lorraine Rutting Now and you
were braless.
Speaker 3 (27:19):
That was brost and a big lots, And I just
want to say, I feel like the pride of Gaston
County lately. I've really just been letting us down.
Speaker 2 (27:27):
It's a very appropriate place, but you know, but to
be braless is it?
Speaker 3 (27:32):
Is it?
Speaker 2 (27:33):
I don't know, have you gonna pick one?
Speaker 4 (27:34):
So no, Gaston County is way classy.
Speaker 3 (27:37):
I'm gonna go ahead and put that out there because
I take stairs for the whatever. So what had happened
is I had bought on clearance from Big Lots these
blow molds that look like the antique Christmas trees with
the lights on them, a blow mold. Those are the
outdoor decorations that are the harder plastic.
Speaker 2 (27:54):
Yeah, like old school, but now they're coming back.
Speaker 3 (27:56):
And so I bought them and then I did an
in store pickup and I I just did the whole
thing on my phone and it is what it is.
And so I had been cleaning, and you know the
clothes that you wear to clean like you're gonna get
bleach on them, there's holes in them.
Speaker 4 (28:08):
You just don't care.
Speaker 3 (28:09):
Right, I get a notification it's ready to get picked up,
and I was like, I would love to add this
to my collection. I don't feel like getting dressed, and
I was gonna send my husband and he was like,
just come with, and I was like, I don't want to,
and he's like, come with. Just stay in the car,
and I was like, all right, this will be fine.
So we go to the big Lots. I sit out
in the parking lot, which, by the way, I make
him park all the way in the back so fewer
(28:31):
people can make eye contact with me because I know
just how bad I'm looking. But you're just in your car, listen.
Speaker 2 (28:40):
I mean, spectations aren't high flop, and I think.
Speaker 3 (28:44):
You underestimate Big Lots and Gaston County. But that aside.
My husband comes out all excited and he brings me
two of the glass antique looking Christmas trees with the lights.
Those were not on sale.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Those are not what I ordered.
Speaker 3 (28:58):
I've ordered these blow molds, and I know that those
were substantially more expensive.
Speaker 5 (29:03):
One.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
I didn't want to get the sales associate in trouble
because this is just a giant mix up. This is
a mistake. Right.
Speaker 4 (29:08):
So I go to him.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
I'm like, that's not the right thing. You have to
take that back in there and let them know. And
so I set him in with my phone and so
he comes back out and he's like, well, because it's
your name on the account, it's your card with your name,
you have to go inside. And I was like, I'm
not going inside like this. And the big loss is
twenty minutes from my house and that's a lot of
commitment to drive home to get a bra. So I
(29:31):
was like, just go in there and freshure, try to
get them to come out to it. But it's more
than that, like there are holes in my clothes. It's
old gray, thin sweat ponds. So anyways, I'm like, go
in there and try to convince them. And the best
he could do was get them to meet me at
the door. Well, there are a lot of people that
are taking advantage of these holiday decorse sales. So here
(29:52):
I am at the main entrance, just everything out for
everyone to see. My hair every much way, like I mean,
you're welcome, make up, it's rough. And so the guy
is still very confused, and I keep trying to explain
to him, no, no, no, this is a blow mold
of the antique looking tree you gave me.
Speaker 4 (30:13):
This is clearly something.
Speaker 3 (30:14):
Different, and so long story short, they're like, we're gonna
have to take it inside and do it as a
return then, even though they had like mislabeled it.
Speaker 4 (30:22):
So now I'm.
Speaker 3 (30:23):
Walking through the Big Loss after greeting everyone, being the
world's most giant mess. And then it was very complicated,
and it's not like the one employee could do it,
because then he had to get a manager involved.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
The next thing you know, I'm surrounded by all the employees.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
I'm pretty sure the person that sells the furniture has
wandered over. There is I'm sure the security, and everyone's
just looking at.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
Me, and I'm just trying to explain that this is
not the correct tree.
Speaker 3 (30:49):
I'm not angry, but this is not what I purchased,
and it.
Speaker 4 (30:54):
Was a giant mess.
Speaker 3 (30:55):
And so if you saw me boos the poppet in
the Big Loss.
Speaker 4 (30:58):
I am sorry, I am sure, I'm pat.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
I don't think life is very hectic.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
This time of year.
Speaker 2 (31:03):
I think it was just very big lots of guest odia.
You were.
Speaker 3 (31:08):
It wasn't a classier part of gassing sound.
Speaker 2 (31:10):
In Gaston County. I'm surprised somebody didn't hand you their card.
We're looking for models.
Speaker 4 (31:18):
Moving forward.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
There will be a sports Braa in my trunk from
here on out, just in case I'm in an emergency situation.
Speaker 2 (31:23):
Again, it's the Morning Mixing in the morning.
Speaker 7 (31:26):
It's The Morning Mixed with Matt Harris and Liz Ludo.
Speaker 2 (31:32):
They're calling them de influencers. People are doing things on
social media to kind of tell you that you need
to follow all the trends.
Speaker 3 (31:40):
You don't have to buy everything just because you see it.
And so I thought, this is going to be great.
I need some help spending less money. But everything that
they're putting on the list I thought was just normal.
So the first thing was doing your nails at home?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Do they look good? God? No, Look at my nails.
Speaker 3 (31:56):
They're a little messy. Hopefully everybody's got blurry vision and
you can't tell it around the edges. I painted my
skin a little bit more than just the nail. But
I thought we yeah, like, I thought again, you know,
it's like maybe a special treat for prompt Yeah, no,
your wedding these days. Then the other one was wearing
the same outfit it did say, you could do it
like more than once a week.
Speaker 4 (32:16):
But in general, I have like a Tuesday outfit. I
have a Wednesday outfit.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Have you never noticed that I'll like repeat the same
five outfits even though I have two closets busting at
the seams with clothes.
Speaker 2 (32:26):
You have, like don't you try you wear a different
Christmas thing every day or something?
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, but like take that out of the equation, right,
but think about the rest of the year. I will
just literally run a rotation of the same outfits and
then one day I'll just go, oh, it's.
Speaker 4 (32:39):
Time to just change them out. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
Really, Okay, this is my Wednesday card again. I mean
I wore it on a Yeah, on a Thursday. I
stepped out of my comfort zone today.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
That's crazy to me. I mean I have a I
obviously don't own a bunch of clothes, and I have
like five black T shirts.
Speaker 4 (32:54):
So all right, so you fall into that.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
The other one was having one perfume instead of like
a whole things set up I got. I don't know
we could afford more than one perfume. Yeah, we're lucky
if we have a body splash on retainer.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
Right now at my house, I've lived with various women
over the years, whether they're daughters or wives. Wives at
the same time.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
Oh cheese.
Speaker 2 (33:16):
But there's a ton of bathroom stuff. Yeah, we never
finish one. There's always a new one along, like new whatever,
and there's new.
Speaker 3 (33:26):
So this is what the de influencing is for, because me,
I'm like literally adding water at the end of things
and shaking it.
Speaker 2 (33:32):
Yeah, yeah, exactly. This is the Morning Mix Morning Mix,
Matt Harris, Liz Luda, Prizzer, TJ.
Speaker 4 (33:38):
What This is my holiday hack. I share it every year.
Speaker 3 (33:41):
I feel very strongly about it, and it is that
you should always volunteer to bring the charcouterie for any
type of holiday get together because you can turn it
into pasta salad. So when you go out there and
you're picking your salamis and your cheese and your pepper
rings and all the different things, think about what would.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Be delicious in a pasta salad. And at the end
of the day.
Speaker 3 (34:02):
Now, obviously don't do this after a work thing where
you don't know how jeremy some of the guests are.
Speaker 4 (34:07):
But just in general, when you get.
Speaker 3 (34:10):
Large quantities of people, I don't let's just look at you.
I don't know how often you're washing your hands.
Speaker 4 (34:16):
So I am just saying you think about.
Speaker 3 (34:20):
If I were to boil pasta, put it in the fridge.
Speaker 4 (34:22):
Let it chill, and then I come home.
Speaker 3 (34:24):
Just put all the remnants of the sharkouterie in there,
a bottle of Italian dressing, shake it up, and you've
got the meal.
Speaker 4 (34:30):
For the next day and a half.
Speaker 3 (34:31):
But I saw someone on TikTok who upgraded this. She said,
plan ahead for the grilled cheese that you want, and
make sure you don't fully slice eats block of cheese
or put all of the meat on the charcuterie board,
because that way you could have something like a pepper
jelly bree capricole. Well capricole would be terrible mixed with that,
(34:52):
but some type of a pershudo and make the perfect mixtures.
Speaker 2 (34:56):
Are you allowed to take your leftover zone?
Speaker 4 (35:00):
I supposed to ask, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (35:02):
He brought it to a party. You don't take it home?
Speaker 4 (35:03):
Do they're gonna just throw it out?
Speaker 3 (35:05):
No?
Speaker 2 (35:05):
You leave it with them? Oh, I think right, I
don't know. This is the morning mixed
