Speaker 2 (02:19):
Now, Bella, you you're here working with us because we're

I wanted this job. This is the place I wanted.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
We were on her vision board when she okay, yes,
well right, you were on my sport or.
Speaker 2 (02:37):
A sports job. But they didn't write you back. So
that's fine. It's understandable. You love what you love and
you but you consider yourself a little bit of a
sports uh ficionado.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
I do like to consider myself a sports connoisseur.
Speaker 1 (02:50):
I'd like I like to think, yes.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
All, so I have the the week whatever. This is
the week fourteen schedule, thank you, bellow. Of course it's
a week fourteen schedule. You're not going to fall for
the thing that Jason always falls for But I'm going
to go through the schedule, and I'm gonna trust you
on the first one. Would you have taken the Lions
over the Cowboys? Honestly?
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Absolutely?
Speaker 4 (03:10):
I saw that the Lions were gonna bounce back from
this game home game two.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Okay, And I can't pick against mich girl. Okay, I
don't know if I believe you.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
You picked against me one week one week and I
said it reluctantly.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
All Right, Well, I'm going to give you that one.
And I already know that I don't know if the
four nine ers are gonna buy this week. They are,
so yeah, so then you won't be biased by that decision.
But waity whatever, So here we go. So you're one,
and oh, you're one, and oh, I'm giving you the
first one on honesty points. Yes, so, Titans, Browns, Browns, Seahawks, Falcons, Seahawks, Colts, Jaguars,
(03:44):
Colts or excuse me, Jaguars, Colts, Commanders, Vikings.
Speaker 4 (03:50):
The Commanders, Bengals and the Bills, the Bills, the.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Saints and the Buccaneers, the Buccaneers, the Steelers and the Ravens.
The Ravens, the Dolphins and Jets, Dolphins, the Broncos and
the Raiders Broncos, the Rams and the Cardinals, the Rams
Bears and the Packers be careful Bears.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
I know, my audience, but is that really your pick? Yes,
it is, actually I swear.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Yeah. I think they're going to win.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
I think they will. Yes, they are must.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Texas and the Chief Texans and the Chiefs.
Speaker 4 (04:19):
This is where Jason would be very upset with me.
I'm going Texans, Wow, I know.
Speaker 2 (04:24):
And the Eagles and the Chargers Eagles. I think these
are pretty good picks.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Honestly, I know they are. We'll get year. I was
just going to let her brag about herself for a minute.
Let me take a minute.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
Good when in the test years, we're going to see
if someone who actually knows about sports is going to
do better with the picks than somebody who does it.
I think I think we're going to find out that
it turns out that if you knows something, that you'll
do better.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
But you know who knows you know?
Speaker 2 (04:51):
They say that the people who win those office March
Madness polls oftentimes are people who pick based on the mascots.
They don't have any idea about the teams. Yeah, because
all the upsets. Yeah, well so maybe fewer upstates here
and the parsley belahamine.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
The par sleigh.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
Okay. I think Shadoor Sanders is going to have two
passing touchdowns this Sunday, Okay. Baker Mayfield, which is what
would Jason say about him?
Speaker 1 (05:16):
He yeah, he calls him a short king, a short king.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
He will throw for.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
I think two hundred and seventy five yards plus, okay
against the Saints, and then I think Caleb Williams is
going to have a rushing touchdown against the Packers.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, should we actually bet on that? Like, should we
really put like actual money? Can you we build a
parsley and put five bucks on that? Just exact app
It kind of sounds like somebody could happen and we
can win tons of money.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, I'll do it in my app.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So you don't bet on Jason's peaks every week. I
do so much money. I mean in the red I'm
bleeding right now.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Not I usually just bet the opposite way, and I'm
actually very wealthy because of it. So all right, bella
very nice job, and we'll see what happens on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Fingers crossed.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Thanks guys all.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Right now. You look at that Bella, hemine everybody good show. Nice.
You know, we do give her We let her come
in and talk sometimes.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
You know, she pitches.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Herself for a lot of segments, which is nice. I
mean it's fine. I think she's just getting used to
hearing no.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I mean if she weren't pitching herself, I would be
a little judgmental. You know, she's she's got this big opportunity,
you know, points and point.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Someone's got to say yes sometime, and it does. It does.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So it occasionally happens that that we let her come
in and do something.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Very nice.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Job, Bell, I'm proud of you. Put that on your demo.
I tell her to save all these clips so that
she can put on her demo. Become very very famous,
and a lot of people have left the show and
become much more famous than we are. So I mean,
it's it's bound to happen again, right.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I hope that for her for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So actual trending stories, biggest stories of the day. I
have terrible news. New York no longer is known for
having the worst traffic, and neither is Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Do you want to know who.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Ousted both of them from the top spot in America.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Chicago.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yep, Chicago has claimed the title of America's worst traffic,
with drivers wasting one hundred and twelve hours a year
trap behind the wheel, according to a global traffic scorecard.
Ladies and Gentlemen French show on demand number one podcast
in Illinois. It may have something to do with it.
Chicago vaulted past the Big Apple after a sharp ten
percent spike in lost driving time in recent years.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
When people say, like, what's your show about? What do
you do?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Our show is designed exactly for these people. So thank you, Chicago.
Thank you for making the amount of traffic go up
so the people are forced to listen to us for longer.
We appreciate that the Illinois city of Chicago, which if
you didn't know was in Illinois, also cracked the top
three for worse traffic on the planet, overtaking in a planet,
overtaking London, Paris, Dublin, and Rome. Chicago into losing almost
(07:50):
five days of their lives to traffic each year, tracking
up more than two thousand dollars an annual cost for drivers.
Major cities across the US weren't spared either. Drivers nationwide
losing forty nine hours to traffic congestion in twenty twenty five,
a six hour jump from the year before. Manhattan one
hundred and two lost hours, Philadelphia one hundred and one,
Los Angeles eighty seven lost hours as a result of
(08:15):
traffic At bright Spot, though, in twenty twenty five, traffic
related deaths finally fell after four straight years of increases.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So here's the.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Segment that I just did, the segment that proved to
everyone I'm not a big anime guy. And now the
one where the whole segments about what people are mispronouncing
in twenty twenty five. And I think I'm about to
go mispronounce all of it. But we're saying a bunch
of stuff wrong. The learning company Babble and the captioning
group Closed Captioning Company on Thursday release a list of
words that news anchors, politicians, radio personalities, and other public
(08:45):
figures in the US struggled with most this year, giving
an overview of the people and topics that Americans are
talking about. Apparently, let me see here the first one.
So it's not louve, you're supposed to say Livra. Well,
I'm not French. You're supposed to say livra. Okay, I
(09:05):
don't know if I don't want the breathiness at the end,
but they are really breath Louvra is more French. Is
the proper pronunciation. Everyone says louver the boo boo, but
apparently people aren't saying that right.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
How do I say it? Well?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, I mean that's labubu. But people are not saying lebuoboo.
What are they saying?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
La baba?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
What are they saying?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, I don't know, that's what I say.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Like that doesn't look like one. That's difficult to say.
L a b u b u aceda menaphin? Yeah, acta
men No, I mean I'm not just what I'm talking about,
Like I look stupid. But apparently people aren't saying that right.
But see, I don't know that I'm saying it right
A see minifin not menaphin?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Oh I yeah, is there not? I say you see
a metaphin?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Is there? Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Seen?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Men fin? Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Guilty hand us.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Sounds so dumb.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Alex Murdoch not Murdall, the guy from the documentary, Yeah,
the dude, Like.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I don't care how I say his name. He's a
really bad man.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Alexander Scars gord, Oh, that's a weird one.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I'm Scars. I don't know if I believe that. And
then Monjaro Marjaro familiar with her? How you say? Right?
What are people saying though I don't fan Gero. Maybe
maybe I heard Manjaro see, but I think I just
butchered all of that.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
So there's a very good chance I got all of
that wrong if somebody wants to correct me. Eight five
five five nine three five. And that was why I
was saying, this is going to be a segment intended
to educate people, where I sound like an idiot because
I'm probably still saying it wrong, which was the point.
Ralph Lauren, which is another one. Apparently people said Ralph no,
but it's not because he's American. Oh, Ralph, Ralph Laurence
(10:52):
is American. Yeah he is, yes, And people I say
Ralph Lauren to make it fancy, but it's actually it's
Ralph Lauren.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That's that's what it's called lebron Why not Why do
I know that?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Why does she know that he's from the Bronx?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You know, I know my New Yorkers.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Because she can't not wear an American Flag sweater every day,
I mean every single day, the biggest, the biggest American
flag knit sweater ever from Paulina every day can. But
they have released the tmus A Winter Olympics looks on Thursday,
complete with the Americana knit sweaters and plenty of vintage callbacks.
The formal opening Ceremony look pairs a patterned red, white
(11:30):
and blue knit sweater with a tailored cream trouser and
a matching wool coat. They're moving sportier. The closing ceremony
outfit features a graphic puffer coat inspired by vintage ski
kits over a color block sweater.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But it was the quote that got me.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
We're creating something that we know has to become timeless
and has to be something that people will wear forever
and appreciate forever, says the chief branding officer. So this
was my question. Can I go to Ralph Lauren? Can
I go to like the polo you know, section of
wherever department store? And if I buy this stuff, am
I supposed to walk around looking like an Olympian? Right? Like?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Is that is that? Okay? Am I allowed to wear it?
That'd be kind of lame?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Like you know, like if I if I didn't run
a race and I was running my medal.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Now, now people wear jerseys and they wear like apparel
that is Sideline apparel.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, but do you see me and think that I'm
a linebacker for the Lions?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I might. Sometimes I've like she's fierce and she's mighty
and she could tackle someone.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I don't know that people are going to run to
Ralph Lauren and and buy the you know, Olympic puffer
with them.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Maybe they are.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Maybe I'm the one who's wrong about this, but I'm
just curious, Like, am I allowed to walk around like
that without a metal? I might argue that I'm not.
And a stolen Faberge egg. I don't know if you've
seen these before, but this one was worth nineteen thousand dollars.
It looks like an egg sixty diamonds and fifteen blue
sapphires and an eighteen carrot gold octopus. I guess is
(12:58):
on this same anyway. Patients off for police in New Zealand.
They've recovered this egg. It's a locket six days after
a suspected thief swallowed it. Who so he was arrestedly
last week at a jewelry store in Auckland, after police
said and he ingested the locket sixty nine ands, fifteen
sapphires eighteen carrot gold, nineteen thousand dollars in value. It
(13:20):
was reportedly recovered after he passed it through his digestive system.
So somebody had to filter through his stuff to get
this thing out of there.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And then what they wash it and sell it.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Probably if I got you for Christmas for Secret Santa Kiki,
a nice Faberge egg worth nineteen thousand dollars. If I
give this to you and I tell you I got
a little bit of a deal on this because someone
swallowed it and went through their body. Now it's been cleaned,
but here you are. Merry Christmas. Yes, Irrik with you'd
wear it still.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'm not wear it, but I would put some gloves
on and take it to the nearest pawn shot cash out,
cash all the way out.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yes, I mean, I guess they want it back. I'm
sure they can, like just to s it's worth nineteen
thousand dollars, not even flush it. Yeah, but I mean
you can't sell it like that, can you? Or people
like fine?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Watch it's cool I don't know, but I take it
apparently today's national Black Friday, which is a movement to
prioritize self care, which not what you think it is,
to priortize self care and find that moment of ah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
National it's back Friday. What does that mean? Back Friday?
I don't know. I don't unerstand what that means. So
I think it was I think it was.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
A play on like Black Friday, because that was so stressful.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think I remember looking up and I don't know why.
Back Friday.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think a movement to prioritize self care and find
that moment of AH in a season usually full of
holiday stress.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Okay, well, so be it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So guys take a breath and don't be stressed, and
that that's going to totally work.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That's the plan.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Twenty days before Christmas, that's totally gonna work. And fifty
thousand things to do
This is the preas show.

Speaker 4 (05:20):
I think two hundred and seventy five yards plus, okay
against the Saints, and then I think Caleb Williams is
going to have a rushing touchdown against the Packers.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Okay, should we actually bet on that? Like, should we
really put like actual money? Can you we build a
parsley and put five bucks on that? Just exact app
It kind of sounds like somebody could happen and we
can win tons of money.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yeah, I'll do it in my app.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
So you don't bet on Jason's peaks every week. I
do so much money. I mean in the red I'm
bleeding right now.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Not I usually just bet the opposite way, and I'm
actually very wealthy because of it. So all right, bella
very nice job, and we'll see what happens on Monday.
Speaker 1 (05:58):
Fingers crossed.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Thanks guys all.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Right now. You look at that Bella, hemine everybody good show. Nice.
You know, we do give her We let her come
in and talk sometimes.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
You know, she pitches.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Herself for a lot of segments, which is nice. I
mean it's fine. I think she's just getting used to
hearing no.
Speaker 1 (06:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I mean if she weren't pitching herself, I would be
a little judgmental. You know, she's she's got this big opportunity,
you know, points and point.
Speaker 1 (06:21):
Someone's got to say yes sometime, and it does. It does.
Speaker 2 (06:24):
So it occasionally happens that that we let her come
in and do something.
Speaker 1 (06:29):
Very nice.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Job, Bell, I'm proud of you. Put that on your demo.
I tell her to save all these clips so that
she can put on her demo. Become very very famous,
and a lot of people have left the show and
become much more famous than we are. So I mean,
it's it's bound to happen again, right.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
I hope that for her for sure.
Speaker 2 (06:46):
So actual trending stories, biggest stories of the day. I
have terrible news. New York no longer is known for
having the worst traffic, and neither is Los Angeles.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Do you want to know who.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Ousted both of them from the top spot in America.
Speaker 1 (07:02):
Chicago.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yep, Chicago has claimed the title of America's worst traffic,
with drivers wasting one hundred and twelve hours a year
trap behind the wheel, according to a global traffic scorecard.
Ladies and Gentlemen French show on demand number one podcast
in Illinois. It may have something to do with it.
Chicago vaulted past the Big Apple after a sharp ten
percent spike in lost driving time in recent years.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
When people say, like, what's your show about? What do
you do?
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Our show is designed exactly for these people. So thank you, Chicago.
Thank you for making the amount of traffic go up
so the people are forced to listen to us for longer.
We appreciate that the Illinois city of Chicago, which if
you didn't know was in Illinois, also cracked the top
three for worse traffic on the planet, overtaking in a planet,
overtaking London, Paris, Dublin, and Rome. Chicago into losing almost
(07:50):
five days of their lives to traffic each year, tracking
up more than two thousand dollars an annual cost for drivers.
Major cities across the US weren't spared either. Drivers nationwide
losing forty nine hours to traffic congestion in twenty twenty five,
a six hour jump from the year before. Manhattan one
hundred and two lost hours, Philadelphia one hundred and one,
Los Angeles eighty seven lost hours as a result of
(08:15):
traffic At bright Spot, though, in twenty twenty five, traffic
related deaths finally fell after four straight years of increases.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So here's the.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
Segment that I just did, the segment that proved to
everyone I'm not a big anime guy. And now the
one where the whole segments about what people are mispronouncing
in twenty twenty five. And I think I'm about to
go mispronounce all of it. But we're saying a bunch
of stuff wrong. The learning company Babble and the captioning
group Closed Captioning Company on Thursday release a list of
words that news anchors, politicians, radio personalities, and other public
(08:45):
figures in the US struggled with most this year, giving
an overview of the people and topics that Americans are
talking about. Apparently, let me see here the first one.
So it's not louve, you're supposed to say Livra. Well,
I'm not French. You're supposed to say livra. Okay, I
(09:05):
don't know if I don't want the breathiness at the end,
but they are really breath Louvra is more French. Is
the proper pronunciation. Everyone says louver the boo boo, but
apparently people aren't saying that right.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
How do I say it? Well?
Speaker 2 (09:19):
No, I mean that's labubu. But people are not saying lebuoboo.
What are they saying?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
La baba?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (09:23):
What are they saying?
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Yeah, I don't know, that's what I say.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Like that doesn't look like one. That's difficult to say.
L a b u b u aceda menaphin? Yeah, acta
men No, I mean I'm not just what I'm talking about,
Like I look stupid. But apparently people aren't saying that right.
But see, I don't know that I'm saying it right
A see minifin not menaphin?
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Maybe?
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Oh I yeah, is there not? I say you see
a metaphin?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
Is there? Okay?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Seen?
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Men fin? Okay?
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Guilty hand us.
Speaker 1 (09:59):
Sounds so dumb.
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Alex Murdoch not Murdall, the guy from the documentary, Yeah,
the dude, Like.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
I don't care how I say his name. He's a
really bad man.
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Alexander Scars gord, Oh, that's a weird one.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
I'm Scars. I don't know if I believe that. And
then Monjaro Marjaro familiar with her? How you say? Right?
What are people saying though I don't fan Gero. Maybe
maybe I heard Manjaro see, but I think I just
butchered all of that.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
So there's a very good chance I got all of
that wrong if somebody wants to correct me. Eight five
five five nine three five. And that was why I
was saying, this is going to be a segment intended
to educate people, where I sound like an idiot because
I'm probably still saying it wrong, which was the point.
Ralph Lauren, which is another one. Apparently people said Ralph no,
but it's not because he's American. Oh, Ralph, Ralph Laurence
(10:52):
is American. Yeah he is, yes, And people I say
Ralph Lauren to make it fancy, but it's actually it's
Ralph Lauren.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
That's that's what it's called lebron Why not Why do
I know that?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
No?
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Why does she know that he's from the Bronx?
Speaker 1 (11:05):
You know, I know my New Yorkers.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Because she can't not wear an American Flag sweater every day,
I mean every single day, the biggest, the biggest American
flag knit sweater ever from Paulina every day can. But
they have released the tmus A Winter Olympics looks on Thursday,
complete with the Americana knit sweaters and plenty of vintage callbacks.
The formal opening Ceremony look pairs a patterned red, white
(11:30):
and blue knit sweater with a tailored cream trouser and
a matching wool coat. They're moving sportier. The closing ceremony
outfit features a graphic puffer coat inspired by vintage ski
kits over a color block sweater.
Speaker 1 (11:44):
But it was the quote that got me.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
We're creating something that we know has to become timeless
and has to be something that people will wear forever
and appreciate forever, says the chief branding officer. So this
was my question. Can I go to Ralph Lauren? Can
I go to like the polo you know, section of
wherever department store? And if I buy this stuff, am
I supposed to walk around looking like an Olympian? Right? Like?
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Is that is that? Okay? Am I allowed to wear it?
That'd be kind of lame?
Speaker 3 (12:10):
Like you know, like if I if I didn't run
a race and I was running my medal.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Now, now people wear jerseys and they wear like apparel
that is Sideline apparel.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
Yeah, but do you see me and think that I'm
a linebacker for the Lions?
Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (12:23):
I might. Sometimes I've like she's fierce and she's mighty
and she could tackle someone.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah. I don't know.
Speaker 2 (12:28):
I don't know that people are going to run to
Ralph Lauren and and buy the you know, Olympic puffer
with them.
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Maybe they are.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Maybe I'm the one who's wrong about this, but I'm
just curious, Like, am I allowed to walk around like
that without a metal? I might argue that I'm not.
And a stolen Faberge egg. I don't know if you've
seen these before, but this one was worth nineteen thousand dollars.
It looks like an egg sixty diamonds and fifteen blue
sapphires and an eighteen carrot gold octopus. I guess is
(12:58):
on this same anyway. Patients off for police in New Zealand.
They've recovered this egg. It's a locket six days after
a suspected thief swallowed it. Who so he was arrestedly
last week at a jewelry store in Auckland, after police
said and he ingested the locket sixty nine ands, fifteen
sapphires eighteen carrot gold, nineteen thousand dollars in value. It
(13:20):
was reportedly recovered after he passed it through his digestive system.
So somebody had to filter through his stuff to get
this thing out of there.
Speaker 1 (13:29):
And then what they wash it and sell it.
Speaker 2 (13:32):
Probably if I got you for Christmas for Secret Santa Kiki,
a nice Faberge egg worth nineteen thousand dollars. If I
give this to you and I tell you I got
a little bit of a deal on this because someone
swallowed it and went through their body. Now it's been cleaned,
but here you are. Merry Christmas. Yes, Irrik with you'd
wear it still.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
I'm not wear it, but I would put some gloves
on and take it to the nearest pawn shot cash out,
cash all the way out.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
Yes, I mean, I guess they want it back. I'm
sure they can, like just to s it's worth nineteen
thousand dollars, not even flush it. Yeah, but I mean
you can't sell it like that, can you? Or people
like fine?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (14:06):
Watch it's cool I don't know, but I take it
apparently today's national Black Friday, which is a movement to
prioritize self care, which not what you think it is,
to priortize self care and find that moment of ah.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
National it's back Friday. What does that mean? Back Friday?
I don't know. I don't unerstand what that means. So
I think it was I think it was.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
A play on like Black Friday, because that was so stressful.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
I think I remember looking up and I don't know why.
Back Friday.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think a movement to prioritize self care and find
that moment of AH in a season usually full of
holiday stress.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Okay, well, so be it.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
So guys take a breath and don't be stressed, and
that that's going to totally work.
Speaker 1 (14:47):
That's the plan.
Speaker 2 (14:48):
Twenty days before Christmas, that's totally gonna work. And fifty
thousand things to do

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
