Every Christmas has its own set of quirky stories and this episode is no exception. We kick things off by unraveling the festive mysteries of Canada's Boxing Day, a tradition as puzzling as it is cherished. You'll be transported back to those hazy post-holiday moments, where the rush of Christmas morning fades into the peculiar calm of adolescence—those days when we'd wonder, "What now?" after all the presents were unwrapped. Sit back and chuckle along with us as we share the enchanting chaos of childhood Christmases, filled with unexpected pets and living room seesaws that left indelible marks on our hearts.
As the scent of pine lingers and the last of the Christmas cookies crumbles, we take a trip down memory lane, savoring the sweet nostalgia of Polly Pockets and Bitty Babies. Join us as we unwrap the memories tied to gummy clothes and dolls, and the evolving Christmas wish lists that eventually included practicality over pure fun. Yet, as we recount tales of Zen gardens and coffee makers, you'll see how holiday gifts can strike a balance between whimsy and utility. Wrapping up with a heartfelt farewell, we send you off with laughter and the warm glow of festive cheer, promising to reconnect on the flip side of this year. So until next Tuesday—and next year—keep those holiday spirits bright!

I opened my presents.
Thanks, Mom and Dad, this hasbeen awesome.
Can I go?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
hang out with friends .
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I remember being like which friends is it okay for me
to call to see if I can hangout with them?
Because it's like a boundaryyou're not going to cross with
some friends because you're notthat close.
But Mom would always let mecall the chambers and see if I
could hang out and they wouldalways say yes.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh my gosh.
Thanks, ann, thanks, missConnie, thank you, yeah.
Well, and I remember we wentthrough this phase where we'd go
see a movie Mm-hmm which Iloved, but that time, between
like opening presents and seeingthe movie, felt like so long.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So, long, which shouldn't, because you have all
these new toys.
Oh, I know, it's so weird.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's a weird day.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think it's.
For me it was like so muchanticipation, so much like I
remember I was alwaysembarrassed because you were
younger than me, but you'dalways fall asleep before me and
then I would always wake upbefore you.
I was like the most Excitedabout it like could not conceal
the excitement I think I justlike built it up so much and the
(04:28):
ones it's over.
It's like you crash.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, yeah, I remember the one Christmas that
you and I played together onChristmas.
Maybe there were two the yearwe got the seesaw the year we
got the seesaw and mom and dadLet us use it in the living room
and there were nuts on thetable and the seesaw spun around
in a circle, and so we'd likehop around and get a nut and
then like, eat it and then likewe did that for what feels like
(04:53):
a wrong.
I know it's funny is my kid.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
My girls are the ages now that, like they're starting
to do little games like thatand Like this morning they were
in bed with me and they wereplaying this game For ever,
where they just took turnssaying do, do, do, do.
Going to the mall.
Oops, I slipped on a bananaWith their fingers, I guess I
think they were like pretendingto walk and they're going to
somewhere.
(05:16):
I was just like it's layingthere with my eyes closed,
listening to it forever and Iwas thinking like I remember
being this yeah, except you, andI never not with you.
But like the seesaw with thenuts, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I could.
That's a core memory.
Yeah, I could see them doingthat.
Other core memory was the yearwe got guinea pigs.
Yeah, that's endless I wasgonna say we could go into that,
because talk about anticipation.
I know.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I knew they were gonna be there.
I always I hated a surprise.
I always wanted to know what Iwas getting.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I know mirror well and that was like the only thing
we asked for that year and Ithink you like got me on board
about.
I for sure like hey wouldn't itbe really cool if we got guinea
pigs?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
and.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And then it was took it to the next level of like.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Cool, wouldn't it?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
be really cool if you chose a name, for you're gonna
be off of this tiny fucking listof Like four names.
They're all human and they wereall human names and I wanted to
name mine snowball and she,literally on Christmas Day, was
like no, it has to be a humanname, you can't choose that some
stuff my girls would do too,like a veil man.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
I was very excited about the guinea pigs, so it's
very, they lived in my freakingroom no they lived in mine for a
while, cuz they were loud, wepassed them off to each other.
They were so loud.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Honestly, that was another time I feel like we
bonded was when we got a puppy.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, that wasn't for like overnight, but we had to
like take care of animalstogether.
It was like we're parentingremember Okay, though my court
chorus to memory from havingGuinea pigs was that mom it was
like the first time I'm she hadbought kale and I was like what
is this like?
I'd like never seen it before.
(07:34):
She's like oh, people don'tneed it, it's just for animals.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Little did she know, but ten years later that shit
would be popping everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I know, but I really don't think it was just her.
I think people like didn't eatkale or wait, was it just us?
Speaker 2 (07:48):

I feel like no one really ateavocados.
We literally millennials causedan avocado shortage.

Also, one year we got atrampoline, but it wasn't bouncy
.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
No, it was like they were really trying to figure out
the trampoline, and so they gotrid of the springs and did
elastic bands, but it was notbouncy, but it was so hot that
Christmas that we put asprinkler under it and jumped on
it with a sprinkler, which wasfun, but that wasn't my favorite
.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That was after I asked Santa for a trampoline for
years, and every year he'dwrite me a note and say sorry,
we're all out.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I was like bitch.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I know you can just make this Santa does not run out
of things.
But, I finally got it.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, and it was not a good one, it wasn't bouncy His
elbows messed up on that one.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I think mine honestly might be the Polly Pockets with
the gummy clothes you got thatfor Christmas.
Yes, one year and I justremember being like.
This is amazing because I lovedPolly Pockets, but they're kind
of hard to play with, they'retiny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and this islike that, but bigger, and it
(13:37):
has the gummy clothes.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But you can chew on so many options and I can chew
on them.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I chewed.
I saw that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The gummy clothes are pretty fun.
I thought it was just me.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I thought it was just me that chewed on the clothes.
And then I saw this meme thatwas like showed a picture of the
Polly Pocket and it was likethrowback, like who remembers
these?
And someone commented man, Ireally just want to chew on her
jacket right now.
And I was like, oh, it's notjust me.

the truth.
Speaker 2 (15:08):

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Yeah, which that just reminded me I just got stocking
stuffers today.
I totally forgot to get all thetoiletries stuff.
Speaker 2 (15:16):
I know I love to stick like a new toothbrush.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I know Toothpaste and some shampoo.
Keith hates it.
He always like hated it growingup but I kind of liked it.
I did too, because Maybebecause it was like more girly,
though Guys don't care aboutthat kind of stuff, I know.
Speaker 2 (15:29):
I always stick beard stuff in Jays and he's like
Thanks, I got him some darkcircles, dark eye circle stuff,
oh, and then I returned it forthis year and then I returned it
.
So I was like I just spent somuch money on this and he is not
going to use it.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Keith, I used to get to you know how dad always put
like little toys in our like.
Even we were like a doll.
I don't know Like he's alwaysloved like little vintage toys
and things.
Keith will never let me forgetabout the time I got him a mini
Zen garden for his desk.
I would love.
I know.
I know he thought it was sostupid.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
You also didn't you get in with coffee maker, one
too.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
Like a bad one it was like a coffee mate, like the
cheapest one, okay, but let meexplain.
Let me explain, was it?
No, but that was father's day,which is worse.
He I know he's loving meputting myself on blast for this
, cause it was bad.
It was like I had gotten himother things, like that was not
(16:26):
the only thing I got him, I hadgotten him like other things and
it was like a last minute, likeI feel like I need to get him a
little something else and weneed a coffee pot.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Okay, I would so do some shopping.
I know, I know, and he, Ithought that was the only thing.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
No, I got him like pair of pants.
I got him like, not like normalstuff, and then also the coffee
pot and he just thought it wasso dumb that I didn't just like
buy the coffee pot and put it onthe counter.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Jay gets mad at me for that, because I will ask for
things that I need for holidays, like I'll ask for a coffee pot
.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's kind of boring to get that stuff, or I'll ask
for, like my 30th birthday, allI wanted was a vacuum.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Oh thank you.
And he's like just buy yourselfa vacuum.
And I'm like, no, I don't wantto spend the money.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I guess I'll ask my mom to get it for me, I know,
and mom's the same way, so she'slike, sure I know, remember
when her mom texted she liketexted us in the group chat
recently a picture of her mop orno, dad.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Dad sent a picture of mom's new mop and was like
mom's new mop, no, I don'tremember this and everyone was
like Was it a?
Holiday, no, but like dad wasso excited because mom had been
wanting it for so long, I guess,and finally got it for me.
And I remember getting it andbeing like, oh yay, mom finally
(17:41):
got her mop that she wanted,cause I've been wanting it too.
It's the Oceder one, where youlike pump it and it spins all
the dirty water around andseparates the dirty water from
the cleaner.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You and mom are the same Cause.
That is boring.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Like I wouldn't be upset if I opened that, if it
was not my only gift.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, see, that's the thing.
I'll take a practical gift LikeI don't mind if it's a
practical gift, I just don'twant it to be like the main
event.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I went through this phase where I kept getting Jay
this sounds so selfish and Idon't even want to say this out
loud, but I kept accidentallydoing this without realizing it
getting him things that I alsowanted.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Like what I mean, like concert tickets or record
player.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Like I kept getting him things that were like also
on my list.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Those are good gifts, though, across the board I'd
say, but like what?
Concert tickets?
Like Justin?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Bieber, no, no, no, no, like some reggae concert
that we, like both, wanted to goto.
This was a while ago.
I know better than JustinBieber.
He wouldn't not.
He told me he was gonna get meSam Hunt, which at this point.
He's just saying it to piss meoff because we like both make
fun of Sam Hunt.
Is this country singer, the onethat talk sings?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
He'll be like I was walking through the town and my
girl was doing this and this andthis.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Like he'll be like talking, and then all of a
sudden he's singing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That sounds awful.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And he's coming to Columbia.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And Jay is like you and Sim are getting Sam Hunt
tickets in your stocking baby.
He's like.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh man yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
But Sim doesn't understand humor like that yet,
and so he genuinely thinks he'sgoing to see Sam Hunt as his
first concert.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh, does he like him Very excited.
Oh he is uh-oh, Uh-oh.
That's not good, Are you?

talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So one year our dad decided to make us buffalo,
which like okay.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I don't think anyone was that excited about it, but
he was very excited about it.
You'll know what I'm talkingabout in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So he invites his employee to come do Christmas
dinner with us, who he wasworking at a golf course, and he
invites we just like moved notjust moved to Charleston, but I
guess this guy had like juststarted working for my dad.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He was like in his young 20s.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, he was like 20 something early 20s and it had
just started working for my dadand didn't go home for Christmas
, and so dad invited him to comedo Christmas with us and we're
eating buffalo.
We're very excited for thisbuffalo meal because dad's been
like I can't really forgot I wasbuffalo all day on it and then
(21:43):
the entire meal was clouded.
I could not you forgot it wasbuffalo, because we I don't even
remember what it tasted like.
I remember anything other thanthat the entire room smelled
like ass.
Yeah, yes, yes and we couldn'tfigure out what it was and we
just kept being like gosh,something reeks.
(22:03):
And I'm not talking like anOccasional to like, I'm talking
like full-on butthole.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Smell what it's smell so like bad and not to mention.
I'm like in the prime of likethe thick of middle school years
and Just embarrassed aboutbeing alive.
And there's this like young 20sguy at the kitchen table and
(22:33):
Our house smells like shit and Iam in elementary school and you
just think everything'sfreaking hilarious so I like
can't get my shit together.
I'm just dying laughing aboutthe fact that I remember being
so feeling Awkward about it.
I don't remember you laughing,so I remember being like.
Speaker 2 (22:53):
This is hilarious.
Speaker 1 (22:54):
I just wanted to die.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I was talking about how stinky this is.
It smells horrible, yeah, andit did like.
Aside from me thinking it washilarious, I think we were
everyone was like what is thatit was?
Horrific.
So then we go to church and wesmell it all through the
Christmas Eve service.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This smell everyone's like checking their shoes.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
We thought someone had stepped in dog poop.
Like when it we say it smellslike, it smelled like shit.
It literally smelled like shit.
And so then apparently the guylike pulled my dad's and was
(23:37):
like hey, your dog.
We had a very old, ginormousChesapeake Bay retriever and he
was like your dog's butt Likerubbed against my knee and a
bunch of slick would.
And I think that that's whatstinks, and sure enough caddy's
(24:02):
anal glands had expressed onthis guy's I.
Speaker 1 (24:09):
What, what point, at what point in the dinner?
Do you think that he realizedit?
Speaker 2 (24:13):
was him like immediately, I was like really
nice.
Speaker 1 (24:20):
Like Caroline still dying?
Do you think he knew the wholetime and he just like didn't
know what to do?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
I think he knew immediately.
How do you not know?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
and you like, can't get rid of that smell anal gland
juice.
Speaker 2 (24:33):
Oh here, nice Christmas suit.
You would know that me, lee,especially if you're dressing
for success for your boss,you're very aware of what you
have on, and now your knee iswet, oh.

That was the year we had.
Buffaloed was like a big deal.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
I know, and it was ruined by our dogs.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
But I think it was hilarious for a girl, everyone.
I just feel so bad for you.
Apparently you're having a goodhilarious.
Speaker 2 (25:07):
I also loved that guy like he.
Him and I had like a relation,not we just were like.
I saw him every day because dadwould pick me up from school.
I'd hang out at the golf coursefor like two hours and so I like
knew him, so I thought I wasreal jazzed about him coming for
Christmas.
He did not have a good time,apparently, but I'm like just
(25:29):
thinking about us in theChristmas Eve service with the
candlelight, because you knowhow you like travel lights and
you sing silent night and we'reall just like Breathing in the
worst smell of all time.

That was good times.
Speaker 1 (25:46):

Well, I don't, I don't knowwhat that guy is up to.
I wonder if he thinks aboutthat.
I Probably he does he probably.

embarrassed.

I think they box stuff up,right.
Isn't that what it is?
It's like when you're likeCaroline's grabbing her phone,

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Boxing Day?
Is it a holiday celebratedafter Christmas Day?
What?
There is a lot that goes intothis Wait really.
The Boxing Day test.
Boxing Day disambiguation whatis that?
Speaker 1 (01:33):
St Stephen's Day.
These are all the same holiday,oh.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Disambiguation Okay, no, no.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Wait.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
What is disambiguation?
It's just like all the songsand movies called Boxing Day and
like telling the differencebetween them.
Oh, okay.
Though it originated as aholiday to give gifts to poor
people, today Boxing Day formspart of Christmas celebrations,
with many people choosing totake advantage of Boxing Day
(02:07):
sales.
Oh, so kind of like BlackFriday but after.
Christmas, I guess, If we haveany Canadian listeners which I'm
sure we do not, because we arenot that popular- I am 100% sure
we do not.
But if we do, please enlightenus on this.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Well, anyway, it's Boxing Day.
It's Boxing Day and HappyBoxing Day.
Happy Boxing Day.
You're either at your in-laws'house hiding in the bathroom
listening to this podcast tofind some solace, you're in the
car getting away from your ownfamily.
Yeah, making some returns atTarget.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Yeah, yep.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Maybe you're sitting around the fire listening to
this with your whole family.
That's a really cozy thought.
I hope that's happening.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Oh my gosh.
I know Christmas can really goone of two ways Good or bad.
It's usually good, yeah, it is.
I honestly can't really say ifI've ever had any bad
Christmases.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Same.
But, it's like the teenageyears of Christmas, where the
weirdest, where you're like openall the boxes.
Who am I?
What?
Speaker 2 (03:16):
do I want, and then you're like what do?
That is the weirdest part ofChristmas, where you're like
what do I do now?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about.
When you're a teenager, you'relike we did the family stuff.
I opened my presents.
Thanks, Mom and Dad, this hasbeen awesome.
Can I go?
Speaker 2 (03:29):
hang out with friends .
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I remember being like which friends is it okay for me
to call to see if I can hangout with them?
Because it's like a boundaryyou're not going to cross with
some friends because you're notthat close.
But Mom would always let mecall the chambers and see if I
could hang out and they wouldalways say yes.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Oh my gosh.
Thanks, ann, thanks, missConnie, thank you, yeah.
Well, and I remember we wentthrough this phase where we'd go
see a movie Mm-hmm which Iloved, but that time, between
like opening presents and seeingthe movie, felt like so long.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
So, long, which shouldn't, because you have all
these new toys.
Oh, I know, it's so weird.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
It's a weird day.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
I think it's.
For me it was like so muchanticipation, so much like I
remember I was alwaysembarrassed because you were
younger than me, but you'dalways fall asleep before me and
then I would always wake upbefore you.
I was like the most Excitedabout it like could not conceal
the excitement I think I justlike built it up so much and the
(04:28):
ones it's over.
It's like you crash.
Speaker 2 (04:30):
Yeah, yeah, I remember the one Christmas that
you and I played together onChristmas.
Maybe there were two the yearwe got the seesaw the year we
got the seesaw and mom and dadLet us use it in the living room
and there were nuts on thetable and the seesaw spun around
in a circle, and so we'd likehop around and get a nut and
then like, eat it and then likewe did that for what feels like
(04:53):
a wrong.
I know it's funny is my kid.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
My girls are the ages now that, like they're starting
to do little games like thatand Like this morning they were
in bed with me and they wereplaying this game For ever,
where they just took turnssaying do, do, do, do.
Going to the mall.
Oops, I slipped on a bananaWith their fingers, I guess I
think they were like pretendingto walk and they're going to
somewhere.
(05:16):
I was just like it's layingthere with my eyes closed,
listening to it forever and Iwas thinking like I remember
being this yeah, except you, andI never not with you.
But like the seesaw with thenuts, I'm like.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I could.
That's a core memory.
Yeah, I could see them doingthat.
Other core memory was the yearwe got guinea pigs.
Yeah, that's endless I wasgonna say we could go into that,
because talk about anticipation.
I know.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
I knew they were gonna be there.
I always I hated a surprise.
I always wanted to know what Iwas getting.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
I know mirror well and that was like the only thing
we asked for that year and Ithink you like got me on board
about.
I for sure like hey wouldn't itbe really cool if we got guinea
pigs?
Speaker 1 (05:59):
and.
Speaker 2 (06:00):
And then it was took it to the next level of like.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
Cool, wouldn't it?
Speaker 2 (06:05):
be really cool if you chose a name, for you're gonna
be off of this tiny fucking listof Like four names.
They're all human and they wereall human names and I wanted to
name mine snowball and she,literally on Christmas Day, was
like no, it has to be a humanname, you can't choose that some
stuff my girls would do too,like a veil man.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
She birthday was three days away and she today
was like can we play Zelda kit?
Because it's almost my birthday, so like, can we play the game
I want to play?
And Kate was like not buying it.
She was like no, I want to playMario Kart.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
Yeah, I are guinea pigs.
Names literally were Betsy andLiz, and I still am just shook
by that.
And Meredith would listen toguinea pig noises.
You were mine, yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
I was very excited about the guinea pigs, so it's
very, they lived in my freakingroom no they lived in mine for a
while, cuz they were loud, wepassed them off to each other.
They were so loud.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Honestly, that was another time I feel like we
bonded was when we got a puppy.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Yeah, that wasn't for like overnight, but we had to
like take care of animalstogether.
It was like we're parentingremember Okay, though my court
chorus to memory from havingGuinea pigs was that mom it was
like the first time I'm she hadbought kale and I was like what
is this like?
I'd like never seen it before.
(07:34):
She's like oh, people don'tneed it, it's just for animals.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Little did she know, but ten years later that shit
would be popping everywhere.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I know, but I really don't think it was just her.
I think people like didn't eatkale or wait, was it just us?
Speaker 2 (07:48):
No, no, that it's same with avocados like what.
I feel like no one really ateavocados.
We literally millennials causedan avocado shortage.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Wait because of the toast.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
I think we just were eating that shit.
We're right at one point wasopening up an avocado, dumping
some hot sauce and sea salt andpepper on it and eating it with
a spoon.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
That sounds delicious , do?
You know, what I I do.
You know what I craved when Iwas pregnant.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Oh, I hate it.

I was pregnant.

one.

I also got the Cabbage Patch doll one year that

But it got recalled because itwas eating kids hair.
Anytime something would touchits mouth it would just like
chomp, chomp, chomp and suck itin and so like kids hair was
eating In their backpack.

Hair in their backpack.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
So and I remember mom explaining it to me and me
being like mom, I'll never dothat, and she was like we have
to bring it back.
Like I got recalled and AuntReen took me to Kmart to bring
it back.
And I remember actually thething I chose was a hit on the
playground, like it ended upbeing very fun.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
What did you choose?
Speaker 1 (11:51):

That was amazing, the sea salt,the sea salt.
Also, one year we got atrampoline, but it wasn't bouncy
.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
No, it was like they were really trying to figure out
the trampoline, and so they gotrid of the springs and did
elastic bands, but it was notbouncy, but it was so hot that
Christmas that we put asprinkler under it and jumped on
it with a sprinkler, which wasfun, but that wasn't my favorite
.
Speaker 2 (12:49):
That was after I asked Santa for a trampoline for
years, and every year he'dwrite me a note and say sorry,
we're all out.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
I was like bitch.
Speaker 2 (12:58):
I know you can just make this Santa does not run out
of things.
But, I finally got it.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
Yeah, and it was not a good one, it wasn't bouncy His
elbows messed up on that one.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
I think mine honestly might be the Polly Pockets with
the gummy clothes you got thatfor Christmas.
Yes, one year and I justremember being like.
This is amazing because I lovedPolly Pockets, but they're kind
of hard to play with, they'retiny.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and this islike that, but bigger, and it
(13:37):
has the gummy clothes.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
But you can chew on so many options and I can chew
on them.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I chewed.
I saw that.
Speaker 1 (13:44):
The gummy clothes are pretty fun.
I thought it was just me.
Speaker 2 (13:45):
I thought it was just me that chewed on the clothes.
And then I saw this meme thatwas like showed a picture of the
Polly Pocket and it was likethrowback, like who remembers
these?
And someone commented man, Ireally just want to chew on her
jacket right now.
And I was like, oh, it's notjust me.

buy the coffee pot and put it onthe counter.
Speaker 2 (16:50):
Jay gets mad at me for that, because I will ask for
things that I need for holidays, like I'll ask for a coffee pot
.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
It's kind of boring to get that stuff, or I'll ask
for, like my 30th birthday, allI wanted was a vacuum.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Oh thank you.
And he's like just buy yourselfa vacuum.
And I'm like, no, I don't wantto spend the money.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
I guess I'll ask my mom to get it for me, I know,
and mom's the same way, so she'slike, sure I know, remember
when her mom texted she liketexted us in the group chat
recently a picture of her mop orno, dad.
Speaker 2 (17:20):
Dad sent a picture of mom's new mop and was like
mom's new mop, no, I don'tremember this and everyone was
like Was it a?
Holiday, no, but like dad wasso excited because mom had been
wanting it for so long, I guess,and finally got it for me.
And I remember getting it andbeing like, oh yay, mom finally
(17:41):
got her mop that she wanted,cause I've been wanting it too.
It's the Oceder one, where youlike pump it and it spins all
the dirty water around andseparates the dirty water from
the cleaner.
Speaker 1 (17:52):
You and mom are the same Cause.
That is boring.
Speaker 2 (17:56):
Like I wouldn't be upset if I opened that, if it
was not my only gift.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
Yeah, see, that's the thing.
I'll take a practical gift LikeI don't mind if it's a
practical gift, I just don'twant it to be like the main
event.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
I went through this phase where I kept getting Jay
this sounds so selfish and Idon't even want to say this out
loud, but I kept accidentallydoing this without realizing it
getting him things that I alsowanted.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Like what I mean, like concert tickets or record
player.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Like I kept getting him things that were like also
on my list.
Speaker 1 (18:28):
Those are good gifts, though, across the board I'd
say, but like what?
Concert tickets?
Like Justin?
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Bieber, no, no, no, no, like some reggae concert
that we, like both, wanted to goto.
This was a while ago.
I know better than JustinBieber.
He wouldn't not.
He told me he was gonna get meSam Hunt, which at this point.
He's just saying it to piss meoff because we like both make
fun of Sam Hunt.
Is this country singer, the onethat talk sings?
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Oh yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:52):
He'll be like I was walking through the town and my
girl was doing this and this andthis.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Like he'll be like talking, and then all of a
sudden he's singing.
Speaker 2 (19:01):
That sounds awful.
Speaker 1 (19:02):
And he's coming to Columbia.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
And Jay is like you and Sim are getting Sam Hunt
tickets in your stocking baby.
He's like.
Speaker 1 (19:14):
Oh man yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
But Sim doesn't understand humor like that yet,
and so he genuinely thinks he'sgoing to see Sam Hunt as his
first concert.
Speaker 1 (19:23):
Oh, does he like him Very excited.
Oh he is uh-oh, Uh-oh.
That's not good, Are you?
I know?
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Well, I'm yawnin', so yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
I'm for a nap.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
I hope to haul it.
Yeah, I know what are y'all.

Doing Christmas at home is likedad's Remember one year he made
us buffalo Buffalo what?
Let's end on this story, likean actual buffalo.
Let's end on this story.
Speaker 2 (20:38):
Wait, okay, so one year our dad went through this
phase where he was like, really,I mean, he's always been very
into cooking and he sorry, Ijust took over this is just such
a good story.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I'm excited because I don't remember what you're
talking about.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
So one year our dad decided to make us buffalo,
which like okay.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I don't think anyone was that excited about it, but
he was very excited about it.
You'll know what I'm talkingabout in just a minute.
Speaker 2 (21:06):
So he invites his employee to come do Christmas
dinner with us, who he wasworking at a golf course, and he
invites we just like moved notjust moved to Charleston, but I
guess this guy had like juststarted working for my dad.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
He was like in his young 20s.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
Yeah, he was like 20 something early 20s and it had
just started working for my dadand didn't go home for Christmas
, and so dad invited him to comedo Christmas with us and we're
eating buffalo.
We're very excited for thisbuffalo meal because dad's been
like I can't really forgot I wasbuffalo all day on it and then
(21:43):
the entire meal was clouded.
I could not you forgot it wasbuffalo, because we I don't even
remember what it tasted like.
I remember anything other thanthat the entire room smelled
like ass.
Yeah, yes, yes and we couldn'tfigure out what it was and we
just kept being like gosh,something reeks.
(22:03):
And I'm not talking like anOccasional to like, I'm talking
like full-on butthole.
Speaker 1 (22:10):
Smell what it's smell so like bad and not to mention.
I'm like in the prime of likethe thick of middle school years
and Just embarrassed aboutbeing alive.
And there's this like young 20sguy at the kitchen table and
(22:33):
Our house smells like shit and Iam in elementary school and you
just think everything'sfreaking hilarious so I like
can't get my shit together.
I'm just dying laughing aboutthe fact that I remember being
so feeling Awkward about it.

I just wanted to die.
Speaker 2 (22:55):
I was talking about how stinky this is.
It smells horrible, yeah, andit did like.
Aside from me thinking it washilarious, I think we were
everyone was like what is thatit was?

So then we go to church and wesmell it all through the
Christmas Eve service.
Speaker 1 (23:13):
This smell everyone's like checking their shoes.
Speaker 2 (23:16):
We thought someone had stepped in dog poop.
Like when it we say it smellslike, it smelled like shit.
It literally smelled like shit.
And so then apparently the guylike pulled my dad's and was
(23:37):
like hey, your dog.
We had a very old, ginormousChesapeake Bay retriever and he
was like your dog's butt Likerubbed against my knee and a
bunch of slick would.

I'd hang out at the golf coursefor like two hours and so I like
knew him, so I thought I wasreal jazzed about him coming for
Christmas.
He did not have a good time,apparently, but I'm like just
(25:29):

candlelight, because you knowhow you like travel lights and
