It's just a great start to my day on kids Away.

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Well, good morning and a happy Wednesday.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
It's Wednesday already.

Speaker 3 (00:13):
It's Wednesday. It feels like it was just Thanksgiving yesterday. Wow.
So anyway, little snow on the ground when I left
the house this morning, a little coating if you will.

Speaker 2 (00:22):
Yeah, some black eyes out there.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
To be careful, very slippery.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Best thing you do with your there you go, there
we go, Here we goes.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
I've done that a few times.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
Yeah, we all justin you and producer Riley up there
in North Country. You got like what six nine inches.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
Now, three to six I think somewhere around there. I
was out there shoveling.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
You had the shovel out, you know, the salt out
and stuff.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
I had the salt and the scraper.

Speaker 3 (00:50):
Now did you have to go to the hardware store
to get a shovel?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
I had the same shovel I've had for about five years.

Speaker 3 (00:56):
Everybody does. I don't know why that's a big issue
every time snowfalls and get to the hardware store.

Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, okay, I didn't have the plow guy come, which
was a mistake because I listened to Bill. That's what
it is all. He said yesterday, Oh where's the snow.
There's no snow, there's no Nor'easter. So I did not
call the plow guy, and that was a mistake.

Speaker 3 (01:16):
So you got a workout.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
I'm gonna have a workout when I get home. There
you go.

Speaker 3 (01:21):
Yeah, today is National Let's Hug Day, so I'm expecting
a hug from you, Lisa Dunovan. I already got one
from producer Riley. And it's a National package protection Day.
It's not what you think. It's about the packages on
your porch, not in between your legs. Justin and I

(01:41):
are thinking we should have worn a cup today. Okay,
but you want to protect the golden jewels, you know,
every single day of your life.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
Yeah too.

Speaker 3 (01:50):
But anyway, yeah, natural, and that's all about the porch pirates.
I think keep an eye out. I think we'll talk
about the porch pirates at some point on the show
this morning.

Speaker 1 (01:57):
It's that season, man. Yeah, FedEx trucks are pulling up
and they're at my house non stop all day long.

Speaker 3 (02:05):
I have a significant package being delivered today. I probably
shouldn't say anything. Oh well, you just did. I'll be
keeping an eye out. I'll be sitting in the window.
I'm looking for the porch pirates later today.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah. Well, the good news is a lot of people
have cameras. We have we have like ring cameras all
around the house, right, and a lot of them take
pictures the delivery people of the package.

Speaker 2 (02:26):
I appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, but things do get stolen. It's a it's a problem.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
No, they're very good about the deliveries. They keep in
touch with you. They let you know when it's on
its way, they let you know when.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
It's arrived, and hour by hour.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Yes, very cool. I caught myself watching the Dancing with
the Stars on Holiday special last night. Something's wrong with me?

Speaker 1 (02:48):
Wait didn't you watch the Diddy doc? Too? I? Did
you watch the Diddy doc and then Dancing with the Stars.

Speaker 3 (02:52):
It's kind of a flip, isn't it. You forget about
some of the songs from that ear the early Diddy days.
Oh yeah, I don't even like talking about Didty?

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But was it good?

Speaker 3 (03:02):
Did you like it? It's an episode, it's episodic. I
thought it would be a whole documentary, but it starts
very early with some of the very Mary J. Blige
as a child was in the ditty camp. And yeah,
it's interesting to watch. It was quite an era, that
early early era out of Harlem, so to speak. But yeah,

(03:23):
all right, So then then you watch Duty with the Stars.

Speaker 4 (03:25):
The Holiday special, and then he watched the CMA Holiday Special.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
He watched the country music Riley Green because Megan Maroney.

Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, Michelle was asking me because I told her Lisa
thinks Riley Green is the hottest thing on the planet.

Speaker 2 (03:40):
Everyone does. And he was on the show.

Speaker 3 (03:42):
So I said, we have to watch so you can
see Riley Green. I will say he needs to open
his mouth more when he sings. He barely separates his lips. Yeah,
it's bizarre. But a good looking fellow.

Speaker 2 (03:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:55):
Yeah, So that was last night. And now I want
to talk about those Girl Scouts because we're your huge
fans of the Girl Scouts of America.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
I think cookies have arrived.

Speaker 3 (04:04):
They're launching in Boston today. The first cookie booth of
the entire year is at South Station at four o'clock
this afternoon. And justin there's a new flavor there is.

Speaker 1 (04:15):
Yeah, but I want to I want to shout out
the girl Scouts of Eastern Massachusetts. They're the ones that
dropped off a Girl Scouts package that does include the
brand new flavor. Have you guys seen this? It's called
Explore Moores. I have it right here. Yeah. It's a
Rocky Road ice cream inspired cookie filled with flavors of chocolate, marshmallow,
and toasted almond cream.

Speaker 3 (04:36):
I was looking for those in the bag that you
put in the office. You had them.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
Do you want to try one?

Speaker 4 (04:41):

Want to do it right now. We'll do it later. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
Well, wait a minute. If there's ice cream in it,
isn't it melting? No?

Speaker 1 (04:48):
No, no, it's just it's just flavored. It looks fantastic.

Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah. I had one of some other cookie that I
think was fairly new. It was delicious. You cannot be
in the room with Girl Scout cookies and not have.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Su so good. So you'll be seeing the Girl Scouts around.

too late to jump on the Stranger Things bandwagon. I
know you were watching Dancing with the Stars last night.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Well it was the holiday special, of course it was.
But I did watch the first couple of episodes of
Stranger Things, and for some reason, it wasn't pulling me in.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
You got to stick with it. Not for you, Well,
you got to stick with it too, Okay. I think
Breaking Bad the first season is the worst season.

Speaker 3 (09:31):
That's we have to talk about this mentalist guy. Oh's
the mentalist. He's getting all kinds of attention There was
an episode a couple of weeks ago that Justin and
I watched, and it featured Tom Brady, Julian Edelman, Gronk,
and for some reason, my son Chris. Yeah, I saw

(09:53):
that all four of them in the same room with
o'stal life.

Speaker 1 (09:56):
You don't know who O's is. He's a mentalist, right,
so he can basically read people minds. He's been everywhere
he was. He guessed Joe Rogan's phone password. He did
the same to Tom Brady in that episode because Tom
Brady is producing Ohs' TV show and that was the first.

Speaker 3 (10:11):
Album ah, and he freaked tom Brady out.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Freaked Tom Brady out.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
So yesterday the mentalist Os went to Barstool Sports the
headquarters and he he had one of the employees there.
He read an employee's mind, asked him to think of
a friend. Listen carefully here this moment.

Speaker 2 (10:30):
Right you have no idea who you're going to think of.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
You don't know yet. Only when I snapped my fingers.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
You're gonna think of that one person right now?

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Did you just decide right in that moment, Yes, pick
a letter in this person's firstame.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
Just grab a letter out just like I'm just gonna
grab one out.

Speaker 3 (10:44):
You got?

Speaker 1 (10:44):
Are are you even r?

Speaker 3 (10:46):
You didn't decide on a person until I snapped my fingers, right,
You didn't write this down, You didn't wish for this. No,
we could know.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
Initials are the same, aren't they? What? What's his name?

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Chris?

Speaker 5 (10:58):
Chris?

Speaker 2 (10:59):
What cost?

Speaker 1 (11:01):
Okay? Okay, okay?

Speaker 2 (11:03):
What is going on?

Speaker 1 (11:04):
The Barstool posted it. I watched it. I was like,
oh my god, I texted Chris. He goes, justin My
phone is blowing up right now.

Speaker 2 (11:11):
It's crazy.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah. So that was Dante who works at Barstool, who's
good friends with Chris. Right, and for some reason he
thought about Chris as a friend and Oh's guessed it.

Speaker 3 (11:20):
And Chris was not in the room.

Speaker 1 (11:22):
Nope, he was not. No idea.

Speaker 3 (11:24):

at nine ten, and then he's doing fallon tomorrow night.

Speaker 3 (11:38):

Speaker 1 (11:39):
Yeah, I don't think he can do it over the
phone though, I don't. I don't think. So he's doing
the Wilver.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
I mean, he can't read our minds over the phone.
But I want to talk about my son's name popping
up in the sky.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
I saw Chris posted it. I couldn't believe that.

Speaker 1 (11:50):

Speaker 3 (12:13):
It's the last. This is it.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
You never know, we don't know, you never know. Had
a feel we're bittersweet.

Speaker 6 (12:22):
It was most of the crew I had worked with
since I was twenty when I did the pilot. So
every single time i'd go back, I felt like I
was going home and I was getting to see everybody.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
You get to know everyone's family, you do because we've
worked for so long together. We've been filming since February.

Speaker 3 (12:36):

over the jeans ad.

Speaker 2 (12:41):

Speaker 3 (12:42):
It seems to have gone away. Her movie bombed. Well,
there was that, Yeah, Christy the movie, but she has
another one coming out, The Housemaid with Amanda Seigfried.

They just had it.

Speaker 4 (12:52):

Speaker 3 (13:30):
Does he write all his own stuff?

Speaker 1 (13:31):
To that one, he seemed like he was freestyling, but
he could have wrote it and then was singing it.
But it was very off the cuff.

Speaker 3 (13:38):
Boy, this is gonna be some Coachella performance because also
Sabrina Carpenter, they're co hosting Coachella next April.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
This is the best line up.

Speaker 2 (13:49):
I know, you get to Coachella. I'm going to Coachella.

Speaker 3 (13:52):
We'll get you in a glamping tank.

Speaker 2 (13:53):
You can stay with my sister.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:55):
You can broadcast from anywhere in the word.

Speaker 2 (13:57):
Now I'm telling you I'm going this year.

Speaker 3 (13:58):
Didn't your sister go last year?

Speaker 4 (14:00):
She goes, Yeah, kind of like every other year. So
we can drive from her house.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
Yeah. She lives in San Diego.

Speaker 2 (14:07):
Yeah, in delmar Yeah.

Speaker 7 (14:08):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Hey, Miley Cyrus is engaged this morning to Max Morando.
Now who's he? Does? Anybody know who he is? What
he does?

Speaker 1 (14:16):
I have no idea.

Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, I'm just surprised that Miley's engaged. I'm a big
fan of Marleys. I just want to get that out there,
big fan. The president of the Kansas City Chiefs is
finally talking about how the team behind the scenes deals
with Taylor Swift being at the Chiefs games.

Speaker 7 (14:35):
My job early on in this was and I told
Travis's like, look, we're going to treat you in your
relationship with the same respect that we treat any other
player in Country's relationship. It's a relationship, like we're not
going to monetize it. We're not going to go out
there and go crazy. You know, for a couple of years,
you know, we all those shots you see of Taylor
in the stadium. Right he's scoring a touchdown, it makes

(14:58):
a catch, he goes to Taylor. Especially first year, we
never showed Taylor on our big boards in our stadium.

Speaker 2 (15:05):
Really never.

Speaker 3 (15:06):
It was respectful.

Speaker 7 (15:07):
It's like, we're not going to do that, like we're
not taking advantage of this relationship. I joked with him
early on in the first year, we never played a
Taylor Swift song in the stadium when she's in the building.

Speaker 3 (15:20):
Travis, to his credit, is.

Speaker 7 (15:22):
All about team and he's all about the guys, and
he's all about being a part of a team and
not being separate. He said, that separates me, like when
we're playing a game, when we're in that stadium, it's
about us.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
I'm really glad he said that me too. You know,
he made it clear it was never about Taylor. With Taylor,
it was about the networks because in the stadium, you
didn't get that.

Speaker 1 (15:42):
Yeah, they don't show on TV anymore either, Yep, no, nope.
All you got is like these little sneak shots of
her in the booth.

Speaker 3 (15:49):
By the way, her concert film comes out December twelfth. Lisa,
you're sitting on a list of Kim Kardashian's Kim Man
Miss all.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
Right, So she gave us a sneak peek. She's doing Masterclass.
It launches tomorrow and she's basically going to be teaching
people how to build their own brand, which obviously she's
an expert. But she came up with the ten Kim commandments,
and we actually really like them.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
I'm going to give you a few.

Speaker 4 (16:10):
You are the product, they prove it, you perfect it.
Define yourself before others do. Bill, don't follow the feed,
be the feed. Another one, turn failure into strategy. Your
customer is your co founder. Culture sets the time, know
you're worth Then add tax empires are built before Don.

(16:33):
And number ten is because I said, so, oh okay,
I like these.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
Yeah, the show up before Don goes along with her.
Remember she had that comment about showing up to work
and yes, showing up early.

Speaker 3 (16:47):
Yeah, we're here before Don. So we've got one of them.

Speaker 1 (16:51):
Yeah, don't you know, don't follow basically be a leader.

Speaker 2 (16:54):
Yeah, you find yourself before others do.

Speaker 4 (16:57):
Don't follow the feed, be the feed, while she's you
know they perfected that.

Speaker 1 (17:01):

Speaker 1 (19:25):
Well, this is actually happening to a friend of mine.

Speaker 2 (19:27):
Yeah, so explain what happened.

Speaker 1 (19:28):
Yeah. So basically, she met a dude. She went on
like three or four dates with him, and then she
went to his apartment for the first time. He lives alone,
he has no children.

Speaker 3 (19:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Yeah, and when she went there last weekend, the entire
apartment was decorated for Christmas. And not just a Christmas tree,
but he had lights, he had little santas, he had
all kinds of decorations. It's like a scene out of Elf.
It was like a Winter Wonderland, Christmas wonderland. Yeah, and
she doesn't know how to feel about that. She really
likes the guy, but she's like, is it weird. I

(19:57):
like Christmas, but this guy loves Christmas.

Speaker 2 (20:00):
That's obvious.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (20:01):
Well, I will say I lived alone for an extended
period and I did decorate. Some would argue slightly over.

Speaker 1 (20:12):
The describe the decorations.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
Well, I mean, you know, I had wreaths on the door,
I had a Christmas tree up, and I had the
mantle of the fireplace, completely decorated in greenery and ornaments.

Speaker 2 (20:26):
To take pictures.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
The lights were sprinkled all over.

Speaker 2 (20:29):
The man a lot of foe can like.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
A lot of Christmas scented candles.

Speaker 1 (20:33):
Like this doesn't surprise me, Yeah, it doesn't surprise me.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
I'm sorry. I found it comforting and enjoyable.

Speaker 2 (20:39):
Did you buy Christmas bedding?

Speaker 3 (20:42):
I've never gotten that shake, but I was tempted this
year because I went to a couple of places. I
went to Bottery Mine, I went to All Modern, which
is part of Wayfair, and they had beautiful Christmas decorated
bedding like duvets, like I mean, very detailed Christmas bedding,
and I came so close. I actually picked one up

(21:04):
and was headed to the cash register, to the cashier,
and I suddenly it hit me. My wife would move out.

Speaker 2 (21:11):
Yeah, how are you doing?

Speaker 3 (21:14):
Yes, I came home with that. That would be it?

Speaker 1 (21:17):
Did you did? Come home with two little Christmas trees
from All Maud and you gave me one which is
in my house.

Speaker 3 (21:21):
Yes, mine is up and it comes with lights on it.
A small tree by the way heads up Almater and
Market Street in Linfield.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
Go ahead, lazy, I'm Jos Maine too.

Speaker 4 (21:31):
They're a family that got beautiful decorations. Anyway, do you
do you have like little pillows that have different sayings
on them?

Speaker 3 (21:38):
I have had the holiday pillows as part of the
decorative those who are in a closet to this day,
But lately I'm not bringing them out because Michelle. Don't
get me wrong, Michelle loves to decorate, and she's very
good at it. But when she starts seeing me break
out the decorative Christmas pillows too much, she doesn't want them.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yeah, she texts me, yeah, yeah, too much.

Speaker 5 (21:58):
Oh. I know.

Speaker 3 (21:58):
She dines me out to you all the time.

Speaker 2 (22:00):
Makes pictures and she says, yeah around.

Speaker 1 (22:01):
She sent me a picture of you in Florida, what
over the weekend of you. It's a good, good video.
It's of you just sitting in the sun, happy as ever,
singing with your eyes shut, just having the best.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
Really.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, it was a nice video.

Speaker 3 (22:16):
And she also busted me, uh powerwashing the outside of
the house in.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Fronta Okay, so Lisa, let me ask you.

Speaker 4 (22:23):
I think, ok yeah, I think this guy like your
situation is that this sounds like it's too much like
and that would be you know, I think it's nice
if someone you know decorates for the puts a tree up,
you know, puts a wreath up, whatever, especially if a
guy's living by himself.

Speaker 1 (22:39):
Globes.

Speaker 2 (22:40):
Yeah, I think that's globes. That's a lot. So is
she what is she worried about? Like, what's her biggest She.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
Just doesn't know how to feel one and two, she
doesn't know if she even wants to go out with him.

Speaker 2 (22:53):
Again because it's too much.

Speaker 1 (22:55):
It's a little bit too.

Speaker 3 (22:56):
Much because that guy probably also wears the ugly sweater Christmas.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yeah, I'm sure, yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, So she's
kind of stuck on. That's why I wanted to have
a discussion on this. It's well, I.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
Think she should probably go out with him again, but
it would yeah, I would.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Be in the back of my head, Producer Riley, A
little too much.

Speaker 3 (23:13):
What about you You go to a guy's place for
the first time and it's totally over the top decorated.

Speaker 6 (23:18):
I mean as like a younger person, Like I'm a
twenty five year old. So I feel like if somebody
if I went to some guy's apartment and he was
decorating that much, I would be surprised. I think but
I don't know if that would like turn me off.

Speaker 4 (23:33):
I mean, like it shows that he you know, it's
nice and into it, and he's caring for his place
where he lives.

Speaker 2 (23:39):
Like that's nice and he's sure.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
But I think like there's a level of decorating when
it becomes more of a red flag.

Speaker 3 (23:49):
Like missiletoes at every room entrance.

Speaker 1 (23:51):
And although it would be a good little trick there,
put the missiletoe up before she comes over cu.

Speaker 4 (23:56):
I mean that's like playful, but I mean what are
we talking about here, Like fake Santas everywhere there.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
Was a little bit a little Santa on a certain level. Yeah,
there were lights hang strung up everywhere. There were snow globes,
not just one, multiple snow globes. And then the fake
tree with fake presents a minute, a couple of boxes
wrappit wrapped. Yeah, they were like, you know, faux presence.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
Again, though maybe this guy grew up in a house
where Christmas was like a big deal and he's just
trying to like give himself some holiday cheer. We like that,
we like putting the tree up, a few little decorations,
but once you get into like.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
The fake presence and like the.

Speaker 3 (24:34):
I have the surrounded by ornaments right now. Yeah, we
have a Santa. We have several Santas in my house.
That's actually my specialty is the children.

Speaker 1 (24:47):
Yeah, we have an African American Santa.

Speaker 3 (24:50):
Yeah like that. Then you have that favorite one Santa
made of logs or something. Huh.

Speaker 2 (24:58):
Yeah, did you have the rest of the fan?

Speaker 5 (25:00):
We know?

Speaker 1 (25:00):
No, she they're sold out. So she tried to get
them and she couldn't get them.

Speaker 3 (25:05):
What if the guy that we're talking about also had
like the full manger?

Speaker 2 (25:13):
Oh you know what else?

Speaker 3 (25:15):
What if we had you know how they sell those
like villages. You buy one house a year, you expanded
every yeah, gift every year. Yes, I used to have
that when and when I was single, living alone, I
had a little village. I felt like I wasn't alone.

(25:38):
You know.

Speaker 4 (25:40):
It's sweet because the guy lives by himself, so he's
trying to create some holiday cheer for himself, which I
think is really Now it's topic time for the Billy
and Lisa in the morning, So.

Speaker 3 (25:50):
We're talking about over the top Christmas decorations. Justin we
left a layer out. We totally forgot about the train set.

Speaker 4 (25:58):
Train sets we had one girl up my dad. It
was like his thing we had. It would make little sounds,
it would light up, and even had smoke.

Speaker 3 (26:06):
The puff of smoke puffs.

Speaker 1 (26:09):
All you want to do is show it off to everyone.

Speaker 2 (26:10):
Come, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (26:11):
We had multiple twind line now we had this LGB,
these giant trains.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
He would spend days decorating because.

Speaker 3 (26:18):
You set up a whole town where the train arrives
at the train station and we.

Speaker 2 (26:22):
Have like different houses and like fake snow.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
But that's okay and fun if you have kids.

Speaker 2 (26:27):
Yeah, I was off for the kids.

Speaker 1 (26:29):
And that's the question. Here is this guy. You know,
this girl's my friend's dating this guy, and she goes
to his apartment and fully decorated snow globes, tree, fake
presence lights everywhere. He has no kids, and she just
is it weird or not? That's her question.

Speaker 3 (26:43):
I think it's weird, but it's still fine. I went
single for a while and I decorated like crazy's festive.
Let's go to Rosalindale. Nicky's on the phone. Good morning, Nikki,
She's in Rosie, Good morning.

Speaker 8 (26:54):
I totally love that Lisa brought up that this could
be something of a family tradition. So for him this
might be, you know, something that he enjoys to do,
but totally not a turn off. And I'm raising the
sun and I would love for him to decorate his plate.

Speaker 2 (27:08):
Yeah it's nice, it creates cheer.

Speaker 3 (27:12):
But how old is your son, Nikki?

Speaker 8 (27:15):
Oh well, he's nine. But I have two eighteen year
old nephews and I can see one decorating and one not.
So again, it all turn you know, it all comes
down to. I think it's what a turnoff? Is my point.

Speaker 4 (27:28):
I know that my son Max is eighteen who's at college.
He like wanted to put a tree in his dorm room.

Speaker 2 (27:33):
He asked me for.

Speaker 3 (27:34):
The record that I lived for a while I decorated,
and I think I did.

Speaker 2 (27:38):
Fine, You're just fine.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Let's go.

Speaker 3 (27:43):
Gretchen is in Wakefield. Good morning, Gretchen. Your thoughts, Hi?

Speaker 8 (27:49):
Yeah? My first thought is you're winning right there. He's
living alone, he has the place.

Speaker 7 (27:55):
And secondly, I would stick it out through the holidays
because who knows what's your Christmas present?

Speaker 3 (28:00):
Would be Oh yeah, if he's decorating, that means he's
really into gift giving too, that's true.

Speaker 1 (28:06):
Great point, Yeah, yeah, great point. He thinks he's Santa.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Good morning. All about the decorations. A single guy decorating?
Who cares? There's so many worse things in life. Be festive.
The guy likes Christmas. Who cares means he's going to
spoil you to death on Christmas Day because he thinks
he's Santa.

Speaker 3 (28:26):
Okay, single guys, if you're out there, keep decorating. They're
loving it.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Keep it festive.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
The train set, get the Nativity.

Speaker 3 (28:33):
You see, you gotta get the village.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Let's go Phis to think those were like his friends.

Speaker 3 (28:40):
Yeah, because you're alone. The people in the village, the
little people. They just look at my friend.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
That's a little sad.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
I was never alone.

Speaker 1 (28:49):
That's a little not.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
Make a drink and go sit near the village.

Speaker 2 (28:55):
That's good.

Speaker 3 (28:57):
Let's go to Curtis in Sudbury. Curtis, what do you think?

Speaker 1 (29:00):
Hey there, how are you good?

Speaker 3 (29:02):
What's going on in your life right now? Curtis?

Speaker 5 (29:04):
Okay, So, first of law, I have to preface this
that I'm super gay. I'm in a one bedroom condo
with nine hundred and twenty square feet and I have
a total.

Speaker 3 (29:12):
Of ten trees.

Speaker 2 (29:14):
Wow, get you.

Speaker 5 (29:15):
Yeah, And because I moved from a three bedroom house.
One guy, and I'm like, Christmas brings me joy. And
I have a train set. It was something that I
bought my father when we did train sets, like you know,
thirty forty years ago, and he passed away, so it's
a memory of mine and this person probably lived in

(29:36):
a home that celebrated Christmas and it was very meaningful
to him. Yeah, and bringing those memories back by decorating
like that, this my place. I walked in. It's lit
up like Las Vegas, and it brings me so much joy.
And I think that's a green flag because it's you know,
he he enjoys this time of year because it brings

(29:58):
back nostalgia.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
Yeah, and when the comes around every time you feel
like Dad's passing through town.

Speaker 4 (30:06):
I think it's it just creates like a nice warm atmosphere.

Speaker 2 (30:11):
Yeah, even if it's over the time.

Speaker 5 (30:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:13):
He makes a lot of good points. And I think
that's the thing if it was a big deal in
your family growing up, especially if they left you some
of the decorations, right, and you're.

Speaker 2 (30:20):
You're continuing on with the tradition, Well.

Speaker 3 (30:22):
Think about the ornaments alone, right, You want to have
every ornament tell a story. You remember where you got
the ornament and why.

Speaker 4 (30:29):
My parents gave me all of my ornaments from yeah,
from when we were little.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
So it's a good feel. Let's go to Rejiev in California,
Oh West Coast.

Speaker 9 (30:36):
Regie, Hey, good morning guys. I have to kind of
agree with Curtis also, right because it could have been
a big deal for his family and he's keeping that
tradition alive and especially also a fat family members that
have passed away. It's the way to sort of feel
connected to them, right, So, I mean kind of like
dating Buddy the Elk, right, like who really.

Speaker 4 (30:55):
Well again that's the question, do you want dating Buddy?

Speaker 2 (30:59):
He's like getting him to Buddy the off?

Speaker 5 (31:01):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (31:01):
Okay, yeah, like really into the holiday all right?

Speaker 3 (31:04):
Word that somebody in California is listening to us right now?

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, Raggie is always listening. So it's what time is
it there? It's four forty nine am. Yeah, he's listening.
Shout out to Raggie.

Speaker 2 (31:14):
There we go.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
I don't know. My first thought on the guy with
his place decorated and.

Speaker 9 (31:20):
Christmas decor would be, who did some girl do this
for you?

Speaker 3 (31:26):
Oh? Oh wow? That's an interesting theory.

Speaker 1 (31:31):
Yeah, a girl or maybe his mom.

Speaker 4 (31:33):
Have we not considered that his mother came over to
decorate his place, because that's another big red flag.

Speaker 2 (31:41):
Or her sister.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
And by the way, we're not saying there's anything wrong
with single guys who were decorating for Christmas.

Speaker 2 (31:47):
Yeah, this was just like one of your friends that
actually just talking about.

Speaker 1 (31:50):
The guy they dated a few dates and she was
weirded out by it. Yeah. She went to his apartment
and she walked in and it was like a Christmas
you know, wonderland with tree and lights and everything. And
she used to doesn't know how to feel. That's what
it is. She's kind of torn on it. Should she
keep going out with them?

Speaker 4 (32:05):
That's well, again, the guy has passion for it, and
that's good. Like you want somebody that has, like, you know,
something that he really likes.

Speaker 1 (32:12):
But do you want to date Buddy the elf?

Speaker 2 (32:14):
Exactly? See that's the quest, that's the line.

Speaker 4 (32:17):
Ye, Like.

Speaker 2 (32:23):
He's going to like dress her up like answer.

Speaker 3 (32:28):
He answers the door, just like a caroler.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Answer the door, dresses Buddy the elk.

Speaker 2 (32:37):
Exactly.

Speaker 8 (32:39):
I have to do some very naughty things to get
my husband to just bring the Christmas decoration boxes upstairs
so I can decorate. So if the man is willing
to decorate.

Speaker 6 (32:51):
The whole house by himself, and I'm not even party
the equation yet, I think that's green flags all.

Speaker 9 (32:58):
Day, no red lags, go for it.

Speaker 3 (33:02):
Yeah, that's a very good point.

Speaker 4 (33:04):
A lot of people, like their spouse or their significant other,
may not be into decorating. So that's always an issue
too with couples, like who's into it and who's not,
so one person ends up doing all the decorations.

Speaker 3 (33:14):
Well, it's also the hassle of it, Like when Michelle
brings it up, it's like, oh, really, we're going to
do that today, But then once we're doing it, it's fine.

Speaker 2 (33:22):
Christmas music on Yeah.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
Yeah Memories, she does naughty things for her husband for
carrying up all the Christmas Day.

Speaker 3 (33:27):
I wanted to learn more about that. Yeah, that's set
up an entire state of villages. Whatever it takes.

Speaker 6 (33:41):
Listen as a wife and mother that always puts out
the decorations every year, Mary, the guy that puts out
the decorations and has some haul.

Speaker 3 (33:50):
A h here, I don't think that's bad at all.

Speaker 2 (33:54):
The only thing.

Speaker 6 (33:55):
That would give me the ick is you know, the
snow glow or the Nativity scene.

Speaker 9 (34:03):
Maybe that's pushing it a little too far.

Speaker 1 (34:06):
They were multiple snow blows.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
See that's it. Yeah, see there's always it's the line.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Yeah, no Nativity scenes.

Speaker 4 (34:12):
But again, like maybe this like we were saying, like
maybe this was like a big thing in his childhood
and he's just.

Speaker 3 (34:17):
Well the scene is a religious thing too.

Speaker 2 (34:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (34:21):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (34:21):
Okay, so we're going with Lisa, We're going with We're going.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
It's okay, go on another date.

Speaker 4 (34:26):
Yeah, absolutely, embrace, Embrace buddy the elf.

Speaker 1 (34:29):
All right, so they're gonna go on another date. Okay,
good to know.

Speaker 5 (34:32):
Single guy decorating who cares to me.

Speaker 7 (34:35):
That's a bonus because my husband does nothing.

Are You A Charlotte?

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.
