Book live.
Speaker 2 (00:00):
We actually had a lot of viewers and then I
shut it off because I want to put this on
in a different way so you can really get up
close and personal to these contestants and watch all the
cookies coming.
Speaker 1 (00:11):
Out of their mouth.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
It is our annual Christmas cookie eating contest. I don't
know how many Christmases we've done this for now, so
there's not a number associated with it. It's just basically annual.
This is what we do.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
We took a break COVID year we couldn't do the
cookie eating contest, couldn't do it that yet.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
But we've done it ever since and it is so
much fun.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
So what do you say with Kayla. I'm gonna let
you take the microphone. I'm going to be on this
on Facebook, Facebook Live, on my MINDI Dreity page to
go over and get these guys and you can ask
them who they are, what they're doing, and why they're
taking part in this.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
All right, So I'm going to start at the left. First,
we have Cam Cam. Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Pull that microphone your direction.
Speaker 4 (00:49):
Absolutely, my name's Cam. I work with Peak Retirement Planning.
Just move to Columbus. Actually, recently within the last two years,
so it's been a big change. But I love it
absolutely all of it. I'm big Buckeye fan as well.
Is hopefully you'n win here and go far in the playoffs.
Where'd you move from Cleveland, Ohio? Originally from menor Menor?
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Okay, So you're familiar with great cookies, probably from Italian
what is it little Italy up there?
Speaker 5 (01:11):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Absolutely, they make some cookies that look like this.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
I've seen this before. So how are you gonna go
about trying to win this competition today?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
That's a great question. I was thinking about it, just
thinking back to when my mom used to make cookies
and just eat him right out of the oven. Hot.
What I always do is grab a bottle of water
with it as well. So I think that's my technique
cookie water, cookie water, and hopefully that helps me out.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Cookie water, Cookie water. That's the rotation for Cam Alright,
no bias in the next introduction because he's pinch hitting
and he's our youngest contestant by several years at this point. Christian,
Welcome to the cookie eating contest. How did you get
roped into this?
Speaker 5 (01:49):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:50):
Hi?
Speaker 5 (01:50):
I'm Christian and I want a job in general. I
want a job when I turned fourteen.
Speaker 3 (01:55):
But you're thirteen right now. And Christian, you guys know,
is my kid. And how are you gonna go about
eating this cookie eating contest?
Speaker 5 (02:02):
I don't know. Probably just do whatever I want to do,
like just go through them.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
Do you want to tell people what you told me
in the car earlier today when you found out you
were the stand by for this, and then now that
you got in what did you tell me?
Speaker 5 (02:13):
I was telling you how like I didn't want this
to be my death wish.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Which I mean cookies and death.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
What you can't choke eating these?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Because we know you Chip We call him Chipmunk at home, mindy,
like he chipmunks a lot of stuff. So I don't
know if any of us know the Heimlich maneuver. So
please don't go too fast today, Okay, be competitive?
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Yeah, I love snickerdoodles.
Speaker 3 (02:36):
Okay, then there you go, And then we have Emma,
So Emma, tell us a little bit about yourself. Pull
your microphone down.
Speaker 4 (02:41):
Hello.
Speaker 6 (02:41):
I also work with peak retirement planning and I'm from Columbus.
So my technique today is I've discovered that I can
eat a lot more if I eat earlier in the
day and then no lunch, so I eat breakfast and
I didn't eat lunch.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Well, I like that strategy. She's got the strategy and
the thing that's neat about Emma. Both of these guys,
Cam and Emma are advisors at Peak Retirement Planning, which
one of my sponds, Joe schmidts in here.
Speaker 1 (03:05):
All the time. Did he make you guys do this?
Did he twist your arm? Did he say listen, you
guys have to do this?
Speaker 6 (03:11):
He actually so Wednesday or was it Tuesday? Maybe Tuesday night.
So they were doing a workshop at the Dublin Library
and Joe called me at seven thirty and I just
happened to not be with my phone and I go
check my voicemail and it's like the transcript and there's
a transcript that says didn't catch all of it, but
it says call me back as soon as you get this.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And you got nervous to go, oh my gosh, why
did the see which just call me?
Speaker 6 (03:32):
So I call him back and he's like, did you
see my voicemail? I'm like no. He's like, go listen
to it and call me back, and so I do
it and then he's like, oh, do you want to
be in a cookie So.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Funny but you know, and you're gonna love this, Mikayla,
because I know how pro woman you are when it
comes to women in business. She's one of the few
financial advisors. It's not a woman's field right now. You
are definitely the minority, not just here in Ohio but
across the country.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
There's there are two of us at peak right now. So,
like Mikaela said, Joe's trying.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, I like pushing forward, which I love. Well, we're
so fortunate to have Joe as a sponsor, so fortunate
to have Lowland Giuseppe's Bakery sponsoring this cookie eating contest.
Let's talk about the rules and the prizes real quick.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Okay, the prizes, you guys, whoever wins first place one
of the best prizes of all is I don't know
if you have plans yet for New Year's Eve, but
if you do, break them, because whoever wins gets two
tickets to the New Year's Eve party and dance at Valleydale.
And Valleydale just had their Christmas party just this past
past weekend Dane with than a couple hundred people there
(04:34):
and it is.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That's busting it. That seems a bit right.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, a New Year's Eve dinner by Carfonya as a restaurant,
so you're gonna be well fed. You've got great big
band music and a DJ. Whoever wins gets to go there.
Plus you get twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Dollars of roosters cards or a rooster's cash.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And you also get a free car wash with right now,
with the snow melting and the yuckiness.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
We all could use those car washes.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Second place get it's ten dollars roosters in a car wash,
and third place gets five dollars roosters in a car wash.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So really, ever want to win?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, you want to. I'm about to say everybody wins.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Something, but you know, but there's a big difference between
first place going to the Valley Dale, which is the
most beautiful ballroom, one of only five like it in
the entire country.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
True, So I has ever been there to Valley Dale.
I get plans for New Year's Well.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
They're broken now, she laying down the gomplet folks. I
love it all right. I've gotta snored out of Mini,
which is great.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Christian and Cam I really like you too, but I'm
pulling for m Up. She's that competitive a good job
by picking these two. So what are the rules?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
What we're going to set a timer for how long
we're going.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
To do two minutes? So who can eat the most
cookies in two minutes? Isn't that what we've done in
the past.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It is what we've done in the past, we do.
I'm going to bring up a timer right now, since Mindy,
you're on your phone. Now we have water and milk.
You've heard there is some strategy amongst these folks about
which they're gonna do. So my question is do you
have your waters opened or your milk poard? Let's make
sure we have that first before we get going. So, yeah,
(06:10):
your milkspoard, your water's open. Christian, you better open it
if you think you don't need it now, but this
is your first ever cookie eating contest and you might
really need it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Please look, you can't see these plates from where you are.
Emma already has the cookie on her plate.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Where to go? No cookie for Christian, no cookie for Cam.
You guys, put your cookies on your plate. You can
do one at a time. Why don't you do that. Yeah,
you can do that.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You can keep your boxes open because for them, okay,
and we will know how many they ate by counting
what's left over.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We will, Okay, So let's do it. Are we ready? Yeah,
you guys are ready.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'm gonna give you a five four three two one. Okay,
So here we go five four three two one.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
All right.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
The clock has started, and it's gonna be interesting to see. Oh, Chris,
do we have any music we could play during this?
This is fantastic. We're again, We're on Mindy's Facebook page.
We are twelve seconds skin go, Emma, and I can't
wait to see what happens around bedtime tonight when I
(07:17):
take my son turning all these cookies.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
This is not a time to be a lady, Emma.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So we're at thirty seconds. You know, I think it's
hard with cookies sometimes because they're delicious, but they also
can be a little the texture, right, you have a
little dryness because of the things that you bake them with,
any of the butter. We're closing in on forty five seconds.
It feels a lot longer going. Keep going, guys, and Chris,
(07:44):
keep the music coming. You guys again, We're on Mindy's
Facebook page right now, her professional page. We're live.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
We are at a minute right now, one minute to
go in the.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Cookie eating contest. We're going to two minut with our
cookies from Lola and Giuseppe's Bakery. If you guys, have
not gotten your cookies for the holidays, these are like homemade.
They're delicious. We've seen such a great combination here. And
they're not eating the ones that are heavy with toppings
and like stuffing, but they got the good ones that
(08:18):
are playing basic, ready to go for the holiday. We're
at one and a half minutes right now, guys, one
and a half right now, thirty seconds thirty two seconds
to good. And I really like seeing Emma work this
milk and water strategy. Cancel a little hidden for me,
but I see that his water is almost gone. We've
(08:38):
got fifteen seconds left, guys. I'll give you a countdown
from five to the end. It's Christian, chip, fucking Christian again.
I don't want you to chow five.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Four, three, two, one, Oh my god, put the cookies,
put the tikies down.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh my gosh, okay, so, oh my gosh. We added
one to Emma's stack. So she technically had eleven that
she started with. Christian had ten. Cam had ten. Let's
count up the cookies.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Maybe you're over there, what are you seeing? Because there's
nothing left in his mouth?
Speaker 4 (09:17):
Like he really?
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Okay, well, how many cookies are left? Three?
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Four? Five?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Left and a bite?
Speaker 3 (09:23):
So he ate basically five cookies, like five and a
half cookies?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
He ate four cookies?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay, Christian, how did you do? Christians still leading even
though the competition is over, he has six left. That
means he ate four okay, so four?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh wait, four and four.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
At this point, we gotta come over to Emma. Let's
see what Emma's like. I don't have this, even though
we really thought you did.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I know, but you know what, she had the hardest
cookies with those chocolate chip were hard.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So how many? How many do you have left? Emma?
Speaker 6 (10:00):
Nine?
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Nine cookies?
Speaker 3 (10:02):
That means ten eleven for you?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Did you eat two? You eate two? Okay and part
of the third?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Okay?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
Five?
Speaker 3 (10:14):
Six? So he won, yeah because he got so he
had he had five and oh my gosh, so Cam, congratulations,
you're going to Valleydale. You're getting your car wash, and
on top of that, you're getting Roosters bucks twenty five
bucks worked.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know what, maybe do your girlfriends? Emam really wants
to go to Dale, so you can take it maybe
just as friends.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I might have to give her the tickets for you, oh,
because she's like canceled and you know New Year's canceled
the Valley Dale.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, I mean, Christian's still eating his cookies.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Because he loves a snickerdoodle. I don't, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Match maker match making and.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
They're coworkers maybe I know, but they can go.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
To Valleydale as friends. It's beautiful and you're gonna get
a free meal at Carfani's.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I think the oh if Carfani's is just so good.
We were there for a fundraiser you did a few
years ago, and.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That they just do a really great job. And I
love that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
So we're all about the Italians here and what matters,
especially because you just got back from it. Especially I
wish I was Italian.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
All right, that was awesome. We will take a break, right.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, take a break, be right back is what matters
on sixth n WTVN.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, we hope you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Enjoyed that cookie eating contest as much as we did
that might have been like one of our best.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Ones, smoothly run, close competition. There wasn't one clear runaway
winner this year.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, there wasn't. It was like kind of all stacked
in order and Christians.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Still eating cookies. I can't believe you're still eating cookies.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm concerns.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I am a little let down with you. I was
like full in your corner. I feel like next year,
I'm gonna coach you put that microphone closer to you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
If it was a much longer time span, I feel
like I could outperform.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I'm a slow eater, but I can eat a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Well, okay, that's good to consider, you know, because we've
always run it the same way.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But that's interesting to consider. Did you know what the
rules were? Did Joe tell you you'd be time? Did
you have to meet as many cookies in two minutes?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Not until after I agreed, Well, he called me when
he was at the library, so I figured it was
just like a community thing at the library where people
come and bake stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And here you got Lola and Giuseppe's cookies.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I mean, hey, I told both Cam and Emma and
Kristen needs a job, so maybe one day he can
work at Peaker Timmer Planning. But I knowing Joe as
much as I know him, I know how picky he
is at hiring people. He literally, Mikayla gets hundreds and
hundreds of applications across the country. And for you two
to have been hired by him says a lot about
(12:48):
both of you. Really, So consider that a huge compliment,
because Joe doesn't hire just anybody.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
I'm sure he won it reject to me, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You've got some work to do in school. Actually, that's
a great question for cam and Emma. What did you
study when you were in school to do what you're
doing today. That's a great question since you have a
younger guy here.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Mine was finance. Most of I think most of us
were finance, but not everyone.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
So finance majors, yeah, and what do you and you
just take economics and classes like that like mindy nine
were obviously not finance majors. So what classes do you
take for finance? What kind of things do you take?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, I did corporate finance, just like business finance.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
There also is like a financial planning major o Ohio State.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
There is so many people that did that too, and Cam, Yeah,
I took a bunch of regular finance classes as well,
and I also did some accounting. But there's economics classes
in the whole SLOEU of finance based classes that you'll take.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
All right, I know he's not listening. Is Joe hard
to work for? Or is he the best boss ever?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I would say he's the best boss ever in my opinion.
But it's because Joe and I have a very similar personality,
so we get along gray very well.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Probably why he hired you. To tell you the truth, Emma,
best boss ever?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Do create this atmosphere that this is a really feel
good atmosphere, and you take care of your clients all
over the country, not just in Central Ohio by any
stretch of the imagining.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Shanna's oldest son actually spent a day with you guys,
and I think that's why I recognized Cam too.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, and so yeah he did, and he really
enjoyed it. He felt very seen like you guys just
were very welcoming, just like you are to everybody that
comes over to the office.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
All right, we have about a minute left. We're going
to go around the room. What are you doing for Christmas.
What's what do you want for Christmas? Anything real fast?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
For Christmas? Going home and seeing my family. My parents
live up on the lake on Lake Erie.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You're going to go see them, see my brothers. It'll
be a good time to see everyone together.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's going to be so warm you won't even get
lake effects SnO this year.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, I know, thankfully looking forward to that. And as
far as what I want for Christmas, I recently broke
my AirPods, so I did ask Santa for a new
pair of air pods.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well I won the cookieating contest. Hopefully Sanna will bring
you air pods. Kristian, what do you want this year?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Mainly like my plea?
Speaker 5 (14:59):
A part of my plea, please please let us was
an iPhone? And also I just took my course in
Family Consumer Science, which is basically home home ECH for
my first semester. And and yeah, and now it's gone.
But I really love that class.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Thank you, it was so funny. What are you doing
for Christmas? What do you want?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I'm just hanging out with my family, they all live nearby,
and I'm getting a mattress.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That is always a good Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You know it's so cool Camp one first place, but
he'll be in Cleveland for New Year's Eve, so he
automatically gave you the tickets to valley Dale.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You get to go there on New Year's Eve. You
have to let us know what you think. Okay, I'm excited. Awesome,
what a show, guys.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I know we have to get out right now, so
let's say it. Merry Christmas, everybody a R.

Why Merry Christmas?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And no matter what you do, spend some time doing
what matters
Book live.

He actually so Wednesday or was it Tuesday? Maybe Tuesday night.
So they were doing a workshop at the Dublin Library
and Joe called me at seven thirty and I just
happened to not be with my phone and I go
check my voicemail and it's like the transcript and there's
a transcript that says didn't catch all of it, but
it says call me back as soon as you get this.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
And you got nervous to go, oh my gosh, why
did the see which just call me?
Speaker 6 (03:32):
So I call him back and he's like, did you
see my voicemail? I'm like no. He's like, go listen
to it and call me back, and so I do
it and then he's like, oh, do you want to
be in a cookie So.
Speaker 2 (03:40):
Funny but you know, and you're gonna love this, Mikayla,
because I know how pro woman you are when it
comes to women in business. She's one of the few
financial advisors. It's not a woman's field right now. You
are definitely the minority, not just here in Ohio but
across the country.
Speaker 6 (03:54):
There's there are two of us at peak right now. So,
like Mikaela said, Joe's trying.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, I like pushing forward, which I love. Well, we're
so fortunate to have Joe as a sponsor, so fortunate
to have Lowland Giuseppe's Bakery sponsoring this cookie eating contest.
Let's talk about the rules and the prizes real quick.
Speaker 2 (04:12):
Okay, the prizes, you guys, whoever wins first place one
of the best prizes of all is I don't know
if you have plans yet for New Year's Eve, but
if you do, break them, because whoever wins gets two
tickets to the New Year's Eve party and dance at Valleydale.
And Valleydale just had their Christmas party just this past
past weekend Dane with than a couple hundred people there
(04:34):
and it is.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
That's busting it. That seems a bit right.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, a New Year's Eve dinner by Carfonya as a restaurant,
so you're gonna be well fed. You've got great big
band music and a DJ. Whoever wins gets to go there.
Plus you get twenty five.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
Dollars of roosters cards or a rooster's cash.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
And you also get a free car wash with right now,
with the snow melting and the yuckiness.
Speaker 1 (04:56):
We all could use those car washes.
Speaker 2 (04:58):
Second place get it's ten dollars roosters in a car wash,
and third place gets five dollars roosters in a car wash.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
So really, ever want to win?
Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah, you want to. I'm about to say everybody wins.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Something, but you know, but there's a big difference between
first place going to the Valley Dale, which is the
most beautiful ballroom, one of only five like it in
the entire country.
Speaker 1 (05:18):
True, So I has ever been there to Valley Dale.
I get plans for New Year's Well.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
They're broken now, she laying down the gomplet folks. I
love it all right. I've gotta snored out of Mini,
which is great.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
You know what.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
I love you.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
Christian and Cam I really like you too, but I'm
pulling for m Up. She's that competitive a good job
by picking these two. So what are the rules?
Speaker 3 (05:41):
What we're going to set a timer for how long
we're going.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
To do two minutes? So who can eat the most
cookies in two minutes? Isn't that what we've done in
the past.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
It is what we've done in the past, we do.
I'm going to bring up a timer right now, since Mindy,
you're on your phone. Now we have water and milk.
You've heard there is some strategy amongst these folks about
which they're gonna do. So my question is do you
have your waters opened or your milk poard? Let's make
sure we have that first before we get going. So, yeah,
(06:10):
your milkspoard, your water's open. Christian, you better open it
if you think you don't need it now, but this
is your first ever cookie eating contest and you might
really need it.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Please look, you can't see these plates from where you are.
Emma already has the cookie on her plate.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
Where to go? No cookie for Christian, no cookie for Cam.
You guys, put your cookies on your plate. You can
do one at a time. Why don't you do that. Yeah,
you can do that.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
You can keep your boxes open because for them, okay,
and we will know how many they ate by counting
what's left over.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
We will, Okay, So let's do it. Are we ready? Yeah,
you guys are ready.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
I'm gonna give you a five four three two one. Okay,
So here we go five four three two one.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
All right.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
The clock has started, and it's gonna be interesting to see. Oh, Chris,
do we have any music we could play during this?
This is fantastic. We're again, We're on Mindy's Facebook page.
We are twelve seconds skin go, Emma, and I can't
wait to see what happens around bedtime tonight when I
(07:17):
take my son turning all these cookies.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
This is not a time to be a lady, Emma.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
So we're at thirty seconds. You know, I think it's
hard with cookies sometimes because they're delicious, but they also
can be a little the texture, right, you have a
little dryness because of the things that you bake them with,
any of the butter. We're closing in on forty five seconds.
It feels a lot longer going. Keep going, guys, and Chris,
(07:44):
keep the music coming. You guys again, We're on Mindy's
Facebook page right now, her professional page. We're live.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
We are at a minute right now, one minute to
go in the.
Speaker 3 (07:56):
Cookie eating contest. We're going to two minut with our
cookies from Lola and Giuseppe's Bakery. If you guys, have
not gotten your cookies for the holidays, these are like homemade.
They're delicious. We've seen such a great combination here. And
they're not eating the ones that are heavy with toppings
and like stuffing, but they got the good ones that
(08:18):
are playing basic, ready to go for the holiday. We're
at one and a half minutes right now, guys, one
and a half right now, thirty seconds thirty two seconds
to good. And I really like seeing Emma work this
milk and water strategy. Cancel a little hidden for me,
but I see that his water is almost gone. We've
(08:38):
got fifteen seconds left, guys. I'll give you a countdown
from five to the end. It's Christian, chip, fucking Christian again.
I don't want you to chow five.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
Four, three, two, one, Oh my god, put the cookies,
put the tikies down.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Oh my gosh, okay, so, oh my gosh. We added
one to Emma's stack. So she technically had eleven that
she started with. Christian had ten. Cam had ten. Let's
count up the cookies.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Maybe you're over there, what are you seeing? Because there's
nothing left in his mouth?
Speaker 4 (09:17):

half cookies?
Speaker 1 (09:30):
He ate four cookies?
Speaker 3 (09:33):
Okay, Christian, how did you do? Christians still leading even
though the competition is over, he has six left. That
means he ate four okay, so four?
Speaker 1 (09:45):
Oh wait, four and four.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
At this point, we gotta come over to Emma. Let's
see what Emma's like. I don't have this, even though
we really thought you did.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
I know, but you know what, she had the hardest
cookies with those chocolate chip were hard.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
So how many? How many do you have left? Emma?
Speaker 6 (10:00):

on top of that, you're getting Roosters bucks twenty five
bucks worked.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
You know what, maybe do your girlfriends? Emam really wants
to go to Dale, so you can take it maybe
just as friends.
Speaker 3 (10:38):
I might have to give her the tickets for you, oh,
because she's like canceled and you know New Year's canceled
the Valley Dale.
Speaker 1 (10:45):
Yeah, I mean, Christian's still eating his cookies.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
Because he loves a snickerdoodle. I don't, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Match maker match making and.
Speaker 2 (10:54):
They're coworkers maybe I know, but they can go.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
To Valleydale as friends. It's beautiful and you're gonna get
a free meal at Carfani's.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
I think the oh if Carfani's is just so good.
We were there for a fundraiser you did a few
years ago, and.
Speaker 1 (11:09):
That they just do a really great job. And I
love that.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
So we're all about the Italians here and what matters,
especially because you just got back from it. Especially I
wish I was Italian.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
All right, that was awesome. We will take a break, right.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
Yeah, take a break, be right back is what matters
on sixth n WTVN.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
Well, we hope you guys.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Enjoyed that cookie eating contest as much as we did
that might have been like one of our best.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
Ones, smoothly run, close competition. There wasn't one clear runaway
winner this year.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, there wasn't. It was like kind of all stacked
in order and Christians.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Still eating cookies. I can't believe you're still eating cookies.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
I'm concerns.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
I am a little let down with you. I was
like full in your corner. I feel like next year,
I'm gonna coach you put that microphone closer to you.
Speaker 1 (11:57):
Yeah, here's the thing.
Speaker 6 (11:58):
If it was a much longer time span, I feel
like I could outperform.
Speaker 1 (12:02):
I'm a slow eater, but I can eat a lot.
Speaker 3 (12:04):
Well, okay, that's good to consider, you know, because we've
always run it the same way.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
But that's interesting to consider. Did you know what the
rules were? Did Joe tell you you'd be time? Did
you have to meet as many cookies in two minutes?
Speaker 6 (12:14):
Not until after I agreed, Well, he called me when
he was at the library, so I figured it was
just like a community thing at the library where people
come and bake stuff.
Speaker 3 (12:23):
And here you got Lola and Giuseppe's cookies.
Speaker 2 (12:26):
I mean, hey, I told both Cam and Emma and
Kristen needs a job, so maybe one day he can
work at Peaker Timmer Planning. But I knowing Joe as
much as I know him, I know how picky he
is at hiring people. He literally, Mikayla gets hundreds and
hundreds of applications across the country. And for you two
to have been hired by him says a lot about
(12:48):
both of you. Really, So consider that a huge compliment,
because Joe doesn't hire just anybody.
Speaker 5 (12:53):
I'm sure he won it reject to me, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:57):
You've got some work to do in school. Actually, that's
a great question for cam and Emma. What did you
study when you were in school to do what you're
doing today. That's a great question since you have a
younger guy here.
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Mine was finance. Most of I think most of us
were finance, but not everyone.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
So finance majors, yeah, and what do you and you
just take economics and classes like that like mindy nine
were obviously not finance majors. So what classes do you
take for finance? What kind of things do you take?
Speaker 1 (13:25):
Well, I did corporate finance, just like business finance.
Speaker 6 (13:28):
There also is like a financial planning major o Ohio State.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
There is so many people that did that too, and Cam, Yeah,
I took a bunch of regular finance classes as well,
and I also did some accounting. But there's economics classes
in the whole SLOEU of finance based classes that you'll take.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
All right, I know he's not listening. Is Joe hard
to work for? Or is he the best boss ever?
Speaker 4 (13:47):
I would say he's the best boss ever in my opinion.
But it's because Joe and I have a very similar personality,
so we get along gray very well.
Speaker 1 (13:52):
Probably why he hired you. To tell you the truth, Emma,
best boss ever?
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Do create this atmosphere that this is a really feel
good atmosphere, and you take care of your clients all
over the country, not just in Central Ohio by any
stretch of the imagining.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Shanna's oldest son actually spent a day with you guys,
and I think that's why I recognized Cam too.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
Yeah, yeah, and so yeah he did, and he really
enjoyed it. He felt very seen like you guys just
were very welcoming, just like you are to everybody that
comes over to the office.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
All right, we have about a minute left. We're going
to go around the room. What are you doing for Christmas.
What's what do you want for Christmas? Anything real fast?
Speaker 4 (14:32):
For Christmas? Going home and seeing my family. My parents
live up on the lake on Lake Erie.
Speaker 3 (14:37):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
You're going to go see them, see my brothers. It'll
be a good time to see everyone together.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
It's going to be so warm you won't even get
lake effects SnO this year.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
Yeah, I know, thankfully looking forward to that. And as
far as what I want for Christmas, I recently broke
my AirPods, so I did ask Santa for a new
pair of air pods.
Speaker 2 (14:50):
Well I won the cookieating contest. Hopefully Sanna will bring
you air pods. Kristian, what do you want this year?
Speaker 1 (14:57):
Mainly like my plea?
Speaker 5 (14:59):
A part of my plea, please please let us was
an iPhone? And also I just took my course in
Family Consumer Science, which is basically home home ECH for
my first semester. And and yeah, and now it's gone.
But I really love that class.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
Thank you, it was so funny. What are you doing
for Christmas? What do you want?
Speaker 6 (15:18):
I'm just hanging out with my family, they all live nearby,
and I'm getting a mattress.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, it's a good one.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That is always a good Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:26):
You know it's so cool Camp one first place, but
he'll be in Cleveland for New Year's Eve, so he
automatically gave you the tickets to valley Dale.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
You get to go there on New Year's Eve. You
have to let us know what you think. Okay, I'm excited. Awesome,
what a show, guys.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
I know we have to get out right now, so
let's say it. Merry Christmas, everybody a R.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Why Merry Christmas?
Speaker 3 (15:44):
And no matter what you do, spend some time doing
what matters
