Oh?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I look back on my early Christmas is fondly because
we all used to go I say we all my
cousins and I all used to go to my grandmother's
house on Christmas Eve and my mom's a lot of
brothers and sisters, and we'd go to my dad's as well,
but my Mom's was really festive. All the cousins got
together there. The parents would gamble and we'd have we'd
(00:56):
play music, we'd have card games like ac Doucy and stuff,
and a lot of food and it was just fun.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
With all the kids being around. I love those times. Yeah,
yeah that I look back on that fuly.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Let us know what you think of And on with
Marioy Holidays from the entire on with Mario fam more

(01:38):
every weekday for you to win your trip for two.
Almio dot com slash alter Ego to find out how
to win yours and good luck, Almorrow, Courtney Lopez. Quick
heads up if you're flying for the holidays. The TSA
is a really extensive list of what you can and
cannot bring on a plane in a carry on. You
can see the breakdown at TSA dot gov, but here
(01:59):
are some of the highlights.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Alcohol has to be in a mini bottle and fit
in a quart size bag.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
What have you got like ten little mini bottles as
long as each bottle is under the amount. I think
you're fine, right, you're fine.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But then but you have to get that after.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You can't drink it on the plane though. They won't
let you do that apparently. Oh no, of course you can. No,
they tell you can't. I mean you can try. He'd
let you, he would, Mario would. Yeah. Food, it's like gravy.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Jelly and sauces are okay, but only after three to
four ounces.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That's a tiny amount of gravy to be traveling with.
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Then they list some strange rus handcuffs, artificial skeleton bones,
and a Harry Potter wand all make the acceptable list.
Live fish are okay in a carry on, not in
a checked bag. Deer antlers can be a carry on
if they fit in the overhead bin. This is really strange.
People are strange.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Deer antlers could be considered a weapon too.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm surprised by that. All.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Right, back to the music, we.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Goney lopezz a little bit of a holiday music warning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
New research says that listening to.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Music with a faster tempo could be risky this holiday season.
Why I sound that songs faster than one hundred and
twenty beats per minute can encourage dangerous driving habits.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh maybe I should stop listening to EDM on my
way to the gym.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I've seen you drive with Frank Frank Sinatra and it's
still bad.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Hey, I saw you almost obey a traffic signal the
other day.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You guys are comedians over here jokes. After analyzing what
they claim to be a list of every classic Christmas tune,
Frosty the Snowman has been named the most dangerous holiday
song to drive to, with a tempo of one hundred
and seventy two beats per minute. Damn Frosty the second
most dangerous song. Queen of Christmas Mariah's All I Want
for Christmas is you?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Wow. You know what people be getting in recks this Christmas?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
When I see a wreck, I'm going to assume it's
because they were listening.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
If you get into a wreck and then the person
gets out of the car and they're blasting Frosty the Snowman.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Happy Holidays from the entire on with Mario fam more
fest and fun coming up.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You're all Mario Lopez and coming up.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Just after the top of the hour, we got TV
host journalists and author Debbie Matt Knopolist, stop ing by.
She's got a new cookbook out and working with this
great company to help people to care of the elderly
people in their lives. A little bit more music and
we're going to come back with Debbie. So I ain't
te sebil Mario Lopez joining me right now in studio.
TV host, journalists and author, My buddy, Debbie Matt Knopolists.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
How you doing, Debbie Mara, Good to see you. Nice
to see you too. All right, so this is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You partnered up with the Nomo Smartcare System, which is
designed to help people out and caring for elderly folks. Really, right,
what exactly does the system do?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I mean, not even just elderly folks.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I think anyone if you look, if if you have
the good fortune of living long enough, at some point
you're going to end up being in a caregiving position.
And that's why I partnered with these guys, because had
I had this when I was caregiving for my father,
I left Hollywood, like probably at the height of my career.
I mean some would say it was when I was
on e and everything was you know, pop in and
(04:58):
I left because my dad got diagnosed with and I
went back to Virginia to take care of him, and
I spent three years there being as caregiver. You don't
realize you're a caregiver until you step out of the
position and you go, oh, I guess I was a caregiver.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You just think you're being a good kid. You think
you're doing what you would do for your parents.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
So if I had had this kind of technology, then
it would have alleviated so much stress on me. It
would have allowed my father to have a little more autonomy.
So basically, no, most of oart care is this new technology.
It's this great app where they have these tags and
these little satellites and this hub that lives in your parents'
(05:36):
house or in your aging level one's house, or maybe
someone who's living with a long term illness, or even
someone who's NERD divergent. You know, someone who may be
on the spectrum, is well enough to live alone, but
still need some help, you know what I mean. So
you put these little tags on their bedroom door, on
the refrigerator, and they're so you don't see them. They're
super discreet. They almost look like backgammon tags. That's what
(05:56):
my mom said, she goes why you put the backgamon
thing on my door. I'm it's not Mom, it's accent,
thank you. So they're like motion sensors. So if your
mom wakes up every day at eight thirty in the morning,
you know what I mean. She goes down, she has
her breakfast. This thing learns the routines of your parents,
and suddenly she's not out of bed at ay thirty.
She opens the bed of a door at ten. It
gets later and later. Oh, she has the refrigerator door.
(06:19):
That's a weird. Wise mom not eating, even the back door,
the front door, whatever it is. The motion sensors. She
usually is in the living room. This time she's not
walked in the living room. Yeah, I can monitor what's
happening and maybe get ahead of something in case something
does happen. Like with my father, it was too late.
I didn't you know. I wish I had had it.
So if I call my mom's cell phone, she's not
picking up the phone. I call my sister, where's Mom?
Called my brother where's Mom?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I don't know. I haven't spoken to her.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I panic because I probably have a little bit of
PTSD from my father passing in his illness. I can't
find her. But with this Nomo Smart Care app, I
go on my phone and it's right there.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I've my mother in law living with me right now.
That's my panic and my aunt and they will continue too.
And that's how it was, which is great. No, and
this is a good piece some mine.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
All right, Debbie Hank tight, we got a bunch more
to talk about right after we play.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Some more music. You're all.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Mario Lopez got TV hosts and author Debbie Matt Knoppilis
and studio right now talking about this great caregiver product,
the Nomo Smart Care system that she's partnered up with.
So where the system alerts and it's brought to your attention,
then you just how do you go about?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Then you go about calling them, or you can just
go about. Well, there's something called a Family Circle, So
you download the app. It's super easy. It's a family Circle.
My brother's on there, my sister's on there now.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
So this thing learns the behavior of your loved one
and it'll tell you bam bam, bam bam, this happened,
this is happening, this didn't happen. If there's a problem,
you can speak through the hub so I can say,
oh my gosh, and I can talk to mom.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Are you okay? I was like a little intercom. Yeah,
oh I like that from Lah. That's cool. Yeah, age.
And it can also alert nine on one if it
needs to. Yeah, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So that's great. All right, hank Ty quick break, We're
going to come back with some more Debbie.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Happy holidays to you and yours. This is on with
Mario Lopez.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Won'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Al Maria Lopez.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We're hanging out with TV hosts and author Debbie Matt
Knoppolis talking all about caregiving for the elderly, which is
very cool and Debbie, they say over fifty three million
Americans are involved in caregiving besides the no Mo smart care.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
What are some tips you think you've learned from your experience.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Well, I think it's super important to make sure that
your loved one who is living alone has meal plans,
like they forget to eat. Make sure somebody in the
neighborhood if you or your your sisters or brothers are
not near around, like there's not a family member or
loved one who's close, and trust a neighbor somebody that.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You have faith in.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Give them a key to your to your mom's house,
your dad's house. Make sure they just do like a
just a check in every.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Once in a while. Great tips, great tips. Yeah, no,
that is so important.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And you're right, Just those little things can go a
long way and give you a piece of mind and
give them a peace of mind government anything goes south.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I like that. Very cool.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Nice, All right, Debbie, I want to talk about your
new cookbook in a few right after we get back.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
To the music.

k Noblis hanging out in the studio with me and
Debbie over the summer.
Speaker 4 (09:11):
We were talking about your cookbook that you released, Bakish. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
I tasted some of the dishes that are really good.
Do you do you have a favorite fall dish coming out?
A favorite fall dish?
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Okay, Well, I mean, Mario, I love a lamb chop.
I don't know what to say. Lamb chops are my
love and my daughter used to call them lamb lollipops
when she was little. And I know that a lot
of people lamb can be polarizing. Let's be honest, but
I'm here to say, give.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Lamb a chance.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
It's polarizing. You speak to Britz and they're like, I
hate Lamb. I'm like, it's because you ate Lamb at
your private school and they made it disgusting.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
If you eat a creek Lamb not exactly known for
their for their cuisine, delicious out there.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah that's good, Okay, okay, Like you know what, I'm
going to make a Lamb taco for you next time
down with that.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I bet that would be good. Is there such a thing?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You can talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
There is now sounds amazing, some some yummy jelly.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
On it with someone that zekey, what do you mean? Yeah?
Everything on as like as much stuff as you can
pile on.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
All right, Dad, I want to talk about these Real
Housewive rumors involving you as well.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
But first I got to get back to the Mews.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Mario Lopez here hanging out with TV hosts
and author Debbie Matt Nopolist this hour and uh with
some of the rumors about possibly joining The Real Housewives.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Gosh, this is gonna follow me around for the rest
of my life. Into it, you know, at first, I
was like, what the hell? Do these people want with me.
I'm not going to flip a table. I'm not going
to cost anyone out. And then all my friends were like,
it's because you're so honest that.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You don't have to cuss anyone out.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
You're just gonna tell them the truth and not even
try to mean to hurt their feelings.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
But it's going to be good TV.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
And I was like, I don't know, and they were like,
you're just too honest for your own good.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
So I did this whole thing.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I went down the road with them, and in the end,
I think they went in a different direction, which was great.
They went with with Rachel Zoe, So I think that's
going to be super interesting. But I'm I've been on
Hallmark for ten years, Like I make cakes for a living,
and I'm a nice girl.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I mean, you know, I.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Might, you know, be a little bit wild, but I'm
a really nice s girl.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
So that's a different energy. It's a different energy.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
But then when I was talking there like we need
somebody who could be a kind of someone who could
be the voice of reason and not be the table flipper,
but be like, guys.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Come on, we're all friends here, right, Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:36):

happen in the future. I'm open to it.

Here what you got for?
Speaker 3 (20:00):
Say? This is from Captain Saint to con and they said,
I mean, I love Christmas, but the Grizwolds allowing both
sets of parents to arrive ten days before Christmas is
the most insane Christmas decision in the history of holiday cinema.
But that's why it makes it a great movie.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
So my mother in law lives with us. I think
I mentioned here before. She's their way ten days sixty.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Five days before Christmas, and my parents come and visit
a lot, but they usually come maybe three four days
before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Oh before Christmas?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, I mean not a good ten
three four days and they kind of do their own thing.
But here's the thing I used to like when they
come with the parents help you out a lot. Now

house on Christmas Eve and my mom's a lot of
brothers and sisters, and we'd go to my dad's as well,
but my Mom's was really festive. All the cousins got
together there. The parents would gamble and we'd have we'd

heads up if you're flying for the holidays. The TSA
is a really extensive list of what you can and
cannot bring on a plane in a carry on. You
can see the breakdown at TSA dot gov, but here
(01:59):
are some of the highlights.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Alcohol has to be in a mini bottle and fit
in a quart size bag.
Speaker 4 (02:05):
What have you got like ten little mini bottles as
long as each bottle is under the amount. I think
you're fine, right, you're fine.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But then but you have to get that after.
Speaker 4 (02:13):
You can't drink it on the plane though. They won't
let you do that apparently. Oh no, of course you can. No,
they tell you can't. I mean you can try. He'd
let you, he would, Mario would. Yeah. Food, it's like gravy.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Jelly and sauces are okay, but only after three to
four ounces.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That's a tiny amount of gravy to be traveling with.
That's funny.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Then they list some strange rus handcuffs, artificial skeleton bones,
and a Harry Potter wand all make the acceptable list.
Live fish are okay in a carry on, not in
a checked bag. Deer antlers can be a carry on
if they fit in the overhead bin. This is really strange.
People are strange.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Deer antlers could be considered a weapon too.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
I'm surprised by that. All.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Right, back to the music, we.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Goney lopezz a little bit of a holiday music warning.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
New research says that listening to.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
Music with a faster tempo could be risky this holiday season.
Why I sound that songs faster than one hundred and
twenty beats per minute can encourage dangerous driving habits.
Speaker 4 (03:13):
Oh maybe I should stop listening to EDM on my
way to the gym.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
I've seen you drive with Frank Frank Sinatra and it's
still bad.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
Hey, I saw you almost obey a traffic signal the
other day.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You guys are comedians over here jokes. After analyzing what
they claim to be a list of every classic Christmas tune,
Frosty the Snowman has been named the most dangerous holiday
song to drive to, with a tempo of one hundred
and seventy two beats per minute. Damn Frosty the second
most dangerous song. Queen of Christmas Mariah's All I Want
for Christmas is you?
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Wow. You know what people be getting in recks this Christmas?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
When I see a wreck, I'm going to assume it's
because they were listening.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
If you get into a wreck and then the person
gets out of the car and they're blasting Frosty the Snowman.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
Happy Holidays from the entire on with Mario fam more
fest and fun coming up.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
You're all Mario Lopez and coming up.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Just after the top of the hour, we got TV
host journalists and author Debbie Matt Knopolist, stop ing by.
She's got a new cookbook out and working with this
great company to help people to care of the elderly
people in their lives. A little bit more music and
we're going to come back with Debbie. So I ain't
te sebil Mario Lopez joining me right now in studio.
TV host, journalists and author, My buddy, Debbie Matt Knopolists.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
How you doing, Debbie Mara, Good to see you. Nice
to see you too. All right, so this is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
You partnered up with the Nomo Smartcare System, which is
designed to help people out and caring for elderly folks. Really, right,
what exactly does the system do?
Speaker 4 (04:36):
I mean, not even just elderly folks.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
I think anyone if you look, if if you have
the good fortune of living long enough, at some point
you're going to end up being in a caregiving position.
And that's why I partnered with these guys, because had
I had this when I was caregiving for my father,
I left Hollywood, like probably at the height of my career.
I mean some would say it was when I was
on e and everything was you know, pop in and
(04:58):
I left because my dad got diagnosed with and I
went back to Virginia to take care of him, and
I spent three years there being as caregiver. You don't
realize you're a caregiver until you step out of the
position and you go, oh, I guess I was a caregiver.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
You just think you're being a good kid. You think
you're doing what you would do for your parents.
Speaker 5 (05:13):
So if I had had this kind of technology, then
it would have alleviated so much stress on me. It
would have allowed my father to have a little more autonomy.
So basically, no, most of oart care is this new technology.
It's this great app where they have these tags and
these little satellites and this hub that lives in your parents'
(05:36):
house or in your aging level one's house, or maybe
someone who's living with a long term illness, or even
someone who's NERD divergent. You know, someone who may be
on the spectrum, is well enough to live alone, but
still need some help, you know what I mean. So
you put these little tags on their bedroom door, on
the refrigerator, and they're so you don't see them. They're
super discreet. They almost look like backgammon tags. That's what
(05:56):
my mom said, she goes why you put the backgamon
thing on my door. I'm it's not Mom, it's accent,
thank you. So they're like motion sensors. So if your
mom wakes up every day at eight thirty in the morning,
you know what I mean. She goes down, she has
her breakfast. This thing learns the routines of your parents,
and suddenly she's not out of bed at ay thirty.
She opens the bed of a door at ten. It
gets later and later. Oh, she has the refrigerator door.
(06:19):
That's a weird. Wise mom not eating, even the back door,
the front door, whatever it is. The motion sensors. She
usually is in the living room. This time she's not
walked in the living room. Yeah, I can monitor what's
happening and maybe get ahead of something in case something
does happen. Like with my father, it was too late.
I didn't you know. I wish I had had it.
So if I call my mom's cell phone, she's not
picking up the phone. I call my sister, where's Mom?
Called my brother where's Mom?
Speaker 4 (06:40):
I don't know. I haven't spoken to her.
Speaker 5 (06:41):
I panic because I probably have a little bit of
PTSD from my father passing in his illness. I can't
find her. But with this Nomo Smart Care app, I
go on my phone and it's right there.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
I've my mother in law living with me right now.
That's my panic and my aunt and they will continue too.
And that's how it was, which is great. No, and
this is a good piece some mine.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
All right, Debbie Hank tight, we got a bunch more
to talk about right after we play.
Speaker 5 (07:03):
Some more music. You're all.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
Mario Lopez got TV hosts and author Debbie Matt Knoppilis
and studio right now talking about this great caregiver product,
the Nomo Smart Care system that she's partnered up with.
So where the system alerts and it's brought to your attention,
then you just how do you go about?
Speaker 4 (07:21):
Then you go about calling them, or you can just
go about. Well, there's something called a Family Circle, So
you download the app. It's super easy. It's a family Circle.
My brother's on there, my sister's on there now.
Speaker 5 (07:30):
So this thing learns the behavior of your loved one
and it'll tell you bam bam, bam bam, this happened,
this is happening, this didn't happen. If there's a problem,
you can speak through the hub so I can say,
oh my gosh, and I can talk to mom.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Are you okay? I was like a little intercom. Yeah,
oh I like that from Lah. That's cool. Yeah, age.
And it can also alert nine on one if it
needs to. Yeah, do you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (07:53):
So that's great. All right, hank Ty quick break, We're
going to come back with some more Debbie.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Happy holidays to you and yours. This is on with
Mario Lopez.
Speaker 6 (08:00):
Won'll be right back.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
Al Maria Lopez.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
We're hanging out with TV hosts and author Debbie Matt
Knoppolis talking all about caregiving for the elderly, which is
very cool and Debbie, they say over fifty three million
Americans are involved in caregiving besides the no Mo smart care.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
What are some tips you think you've learned from your experience.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
Well, I think it's super important to make sure that
your loved one who is living alone has meal plans,
like they forget to eat. Make sure somebody in the
neighborhood if you or your your sisters or brothers are
not near around, like there's not a family member or
loved one who's close, and trust a neighbor somebody that.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
You have faith in.
Speaker 5 (08:42):
Give them a key to your to your mom's house,
your dad's house. Make sure they just do like a
just a check in every.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
Once in a while. Great tips, great tips. Yeah, no,
that is so important.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
And you're right, Just those little things can go a
long way and give you a piece of mind and
give them a peace of mind government anything goes south.
Speaker 4 (08:59):
I like that. Very cool.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Nice, All right, Debbie, I want to talk about your
new cookbook in a few right after we get back.

Speaker 2 (09:14):
I tasted some of the dishes that are really good.
Do you do you have a favorite fall dish coming out?
A favorite fall dish?
Speaker 6 (09:22):
Wow?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Okay, Well, I mean, Mario, I love a lamb chop.
I don't know what to say. Lamb chops are my
love and my daughter used to call them lamb lollipops
when she was little. And I know that a lot
of people lamb can be polarizing. Let's be honest, but
I'm here to say, give.
Speaker 4 (09:41):
Lamb a chance.
Speaker 5 (09:42):
It's polarizing. You speak to Britz and they're like, I
hate Lamb. I'm like, it's because you ate Lamb at
your private school and they made it disgusting.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
If you eat a creek Lamb not exactly known for
their for their cuisine, delicious out there.
Speaker 5 (09:57):
Yeah that's good, Okay, okay, Like you know what, I'm
going to make a Lamb taco for you next time
down with that.
Speaker 4 (10:02):
I bet that would be good. Is there such a thing?
Speaker 2 (10:04):
No?
Speaker 4 (10:05):
You can talk about anything.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
There is now sounds amazing, some some yummy jelly.
Speaker 4 (10:09):
On it with someone that zekey, what do you mean? Yeah?
Everything on as like as much stuff as you can
pile on.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
All right, Dad, I want to talk about these Real
Housewive rumors involving you as well.
Speaker 4 (10:20):
But first I got to get back to the Mews.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Mario Lopez here hanging out with TV hosts
and author Debbie Matt Nopolist this hour and uh with
some of the rumors about possibly joining The Real Housewives.
Speaker 5 (10:31):
Gosh, this is gonna follow me around for the rest
of my life. Into it, you know, at first, I
was like, what the hell? Do these people want with me.
I'm not going to flip a table. I'm not going
to cost anyone out. And then all my friends were like,
it's because you're so honest that.
Speaker 4 (10:45):
You don't have to cuss anyone out.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
You're just gonna tell them the truth and not even
try to mean to hurt their feelings.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
But it's going to be good TV.
Speaker 5 (10:51):
And I was like, I don't know, and they were like,
you're just too honest for your own good.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
So I did this whole thing.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I went down the road with them, and in the end,
I think they went in a different direction, which was great.
They went with with Rachel Zoe, So I think that's
going to be super interesting. But I'm I've been on
Hallmark for ten years, Like I make cakes for a living,
and I'm a nice girl.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
I mean, you know, I.
Speaker 5 (11:18):
Might, you know, be a little bit wild, but I'm
a really nice s girl.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
So that's a different energy. It's a different energy.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
But then when I was talking there like we need
somebody who could be a kind of someone who could
be the voice of reason and not be the table flipper,
but be like, guys.
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Come on, we're all friends here, right, Okay.
Speaker 5 (11:36):

Say? This is from Captain Saint to con and they said,
I mean, I love Christmas, but the Grizwolds allowing both
sets of parents to arrive ten days before Christmas is
the most insane Christmas decision in the history of holiday cinema.

So my mother in law lives with us. I think
I mentioned here before. She's their way ten days sixty.
Speaker 2 (20:24):
Five days before Christmas, and my parents come and visit
a lot, but they usually come maybe three four days
before Christmas.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Oh before Christmas?
Speaker 2 (20:35):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, I mean not a good ten
three four days and they kind of do their own thing.

come with the parents help you out a lot. Now
we got to pick up after them.

in the kitchen at like two am? Yes? And then
the moms don't do anything. It's like they come and
just kick it.

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.
