Speaker 1 (00:00):
Guys, stick around for another second, because I totally one
(00:02):
hundred percent forgot Mikayla that I did this last time.
It was last week when we were giving away tickets
to the Valley Dale for just Your Friday Night Dance,
and we had a caller named Jody who just sang
your praises about the Vali Dale. So I thought, she's
not gonna believe us. She's just gonna think I'm just
saying this. So I want you to listen. This was
(00:24):
the caller from last week. We saved the sound so
you guys could hear it, just to make your day
a little bit. So this was last week. This was
a woman named Jody who won tickets to Friday Night's dance.
Go ahead and play it, Chris.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Thanks all the time. I mean every Friday night, almost
every Friday night they have, you know the record. We're
not big fans, this plays and it's just always a
good time there. You never know who's going to be there.
They're always surprised sometimes, and Londa goes live on Facebook.
(00:57):
If I can't go, sometimes I watch on there and
I was watching it last Friday and there were so
many young people there.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
I thought I.
Speaker 4 (01:07):
Ohio staters.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Yeah, it was very funny, fun how sweet of her.
I wanted you to hear that.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
I didn't know.
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I didn't know if you were able to tune in
last week or not. I'm like, she was great. She's
sang the praises of Valley Dale Ballroom. So I'm like,
I gotta let Rick and Loan to hear that.
Speaker 3 (01:24):
Yeah, And while we were in the middle of it,
like a lot of a conversation, I have this sense
too that you guys really love the holiday season based
on what you do at Valley to holidays, all holidays.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
Christmas a special Halloween, and Christmas.
Speaker 3 (01:40):
Is crazy there Christmas for you, Rick, what's special about it?
And what do you love to do during the season.
What are some of your favorite things?
Speaker 5 (01:47):
Well, the music, and as you said earlier, is such
a big part of the seasons. It just lists people's
spirits that gets in in the mood for Christmas and
the giving spirit now and the music just reinforces all
that it's a time of love and peace in the
world and music is a big part of relating that.
So for us to be able to play that music
and play big band arrangements of the beautiful Christmas songs.
(02:09):
It's just it's a departure from what we normally do,
and we all only can do it in December was
because of the Christmas season, so it's a special time.
We always look forward to that, that change of pace
in the music. But we still have the big band influence,
but it's the beautiful Christmas music that everyone knows and loves.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
I asked him every year to make an album with
all the Christmas arrangements that Rick has done. Rick hast
on some marvelous ones. So maybe now that we say
it on the Rick, will you please get your band
together and make a Christmas album?
Speaker 5 (02:37):
Which time to do that?
Speaker 1 (02:38):
I think it'd be a great idea. You know what
you could do too, a Valie Dale, this was just
thinking of different things. Is you could have like movie nights.
Like we were just talking about what's your favorite Christmas
movie that you always have to watch every single year?
What is your wonderful life you always have to to't
your goal from like a little kid, your parents always wanted.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
It wasn't the favorite, but they did watch it, and
then it's Marcus's favorite, and so I keep watching it.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
So I'd have to say Elf or for Christmases. I
love that they're more modern, but they're very fine, and
they're you know, my kids are in their twenties and
they it is just fun for them growing up and
even to now. Londa, what was your all time fevorite
Christmas movie? Maricle on thirty four?
Speaker 4 (03:18):
I just thought never that cane at the last scene
in the corner.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Do you watch it every year?
Speaker 6 (03:23):
Then?
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (03:24):
What about you Holiday? Inn? You know it was Bing
Crosby and Fred Astaire, music by Irving Berlin. It's a
beautiful movie, but that's that's where White Christmas came from.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
I can't believe you brought the Saturday. I was at
a Christmas party last night at Buckeye Lake and someone
brought that up to me. I'd never heard of it before.
I've never heard of it before, and so now you're
the second person in two days. I look at that
as it's a sign I'm going to have to watch
Holiday and ned of this before. Well, just in case
you're wondering, the number one most popular Christmas movie of
(03:59):
all time is Home Alone. It's often excited as the
most watched, while classics like It's a Wonderful Life, Elf
and a Christmas story and even how the Grinch Stole
Christmas are up there as well.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Well, it's such a wholesome show. Home Alone right for
the most it's it's funny, it's a little scary with
the robbers, right, so I feel like it has it all.
There's actually an AI trend. You guys all love this
going on right now with the Home Alone cast including
those who have passed, and they have the Home Alone
character at the age the character was in the movie
(04:35):
walking next to AI. Did you see this?
Speaker 7 (04:39):
Y mcaulay cockn the little mccaully McCaulay, And they do
every single character that way, including Joe is Joe Pesci right, Okay,
I didn't catch.
Speaker 4 (04:51):
It was the the actors.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Yeah, it's wonderful.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
AI has changed everything I mean, and it is in fact,
did you see it was the person of the year.
It was the to at all. It was AI. Another
big news story from the week. And as far as
search engines go, Charlie Kirk was another name that was
one of the most searched of this past year. And
I don't know if you guys saw this or not,
(05:17):
but his wife, Erica Kirk, was making the rounds the
media round was the past week because they were able
to create and write the final book that he was
working on. And I caught some of Erica Kirk on
one of the Fox shows and they had told her.
They said, the one thing that came out of Charlie
Kirk's murder was that so many people a resurgence of
(05:41):
people finding Jesus and going to church. So I did
have a little bit of sound about her comment because
she was so touched by the fact that people are
once again because of her husband, finding that, you know,
finding their faith again. So listen to what she said
about that. Chris, do you have that sound?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I sent you there buying Bibles for the first time,
going back to church in years, calling their family members
and apologizing or saying, hey, can we somehow bridge this?
Heal this?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's helpful.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And Charlotte every single day on his way into work
would text people Bible verses and he just wanted to
remind people that this is what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's about your life here is so short. So are
you going to use your short time here on earth
to make.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
This place better?
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Or are you going to make it work?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
So you're going to be a solution or are you're
going to be an additional problem?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And so every day he wanted to help people remember, Okay.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
When I message you, it's to get your mind right
in your heart right in the right heart space.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're going to start off your day with a Bible verse.
Even if you're not Christian, even if you're not Jewish,
even if you.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Don't believe in anything, at least you're reading something that
is true and beautiful and.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
It gets you set on the right pace to have
an amazing day and maybe bless someone else along the way.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And that goes back with our conversation that we had
last week. Found this stat that how many families go
through the rest of their life being estranged and not
building that.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
No contacting, no contents as your family. We got a
lot of Facebook comments on that put I thought I
posted in our group. I didn't. I posted it wrong.
I ended up posting it on my faces.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I looked, I found that, I searched, I couldn't find it.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, I mean, yes, there was a lot that happened
this week.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
There was a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And back to AI, how is AI going to change
music ric?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Well, of course, music technology has been around for the
past thirty years or so, there's a lot of influence
of computers using music. Well, we I use a computer
to write music to notate it. You know. I remember
back in the eighties when musicians were complaining in Las
Vegas there's no more work for musicians. Everything is becoming,
(07:51):
you know, computerized. I said, well, you better learn technology
because you know, musicians are now using the computer to
help compose and write music and rotate it. But I've
still been able to keep an eighteen piece band together. Yet.
I use the technology or to write the music and
it can play it back for you, so you can
hear the arrangements before you ever take them in to
(08:13):
make sure there's no mistakes. And it's just it's become
a great tool. It's also much more efficient way to
write music because you have that instant feedback. So I
can't write without it. After growing up using the pencil
and paper, you know, I'm using the computer is the
only way to go for me?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Is there kind of I'm curious for kids who enjoy
writing music, is there kind of software or AI that
you can use to start to do some of this?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
There absolutely is. There's a program that's been used for
many years called Finale, although they just recently went out
of business. There's a new company that's kind of taken
over called Dorico. Dorico Yeah, and Sebately is. There's three
or four big music notation programs that are out there
that the professionals use, and they're very helpful to be
able to get your creative ideas together, get them on paper.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I have a kid who can play piano by ear.
I don't even know if you know this. Logan can
play piano. He can hear a song. This is weird
because he's not he has ess the music Christians, the
musical one. But Logan can hear something and then play
it on the piano. He has a keyboard in his room.
And what I'm like the Journey song, Don't Stop Believing.
He's been working on that for a so there.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I wish he would lean into music.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But that's something.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
And then if you can hear that and just do
it on your own well perfect pitch, we've talked about
that before. That's a that's a gift that people have
where they can they can memorize the musical tones and
being able to memorize phrases of music as well.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
That's just a gift.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, I ask you guys, what your favorite Christmas movie
was just before we go to break. I was curious
because I also think of all the cartoons, you know,
that's what I always grew up on. The Rudolphs, the Frosties,
the Thing, the Heat Miser. Okay, so all the Christmas cartoons.
What's number one?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Probably Peanuts.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
It's got to be Peanuts.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
What do you think, Rick, I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Peanuts Charlie Brown Christmas?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Is that what you're going with. I'm gonna go with Rudolph
Charlie Brown Christmas number one?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Ya?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
How the Grinch Stole Christmas? And then Rudolph the Red
Nose Rainey. Rudolph was always my favorite growing up. I
just loved Rudolf. Oh. I thought it was the cutest
thing ever ever. It's probably why I became such an
animal lover.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I think, honestly, that was my favorite Christmas cartoon as
a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, that's well, that's what Yeah, Yeah, I think that was.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
When my niece was little, she asked for Little Clarice,
which was girl Friend, and it took me four years
to find it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I finally found it. It's funny how time changes because
we think of Clarice of Rudolph's girlfriend, and then Clarice silence,
different Clice.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Charlie Brown Christmas. We have a big band arrangement of that.
Of course you do, so will be playing that next time.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Fun get to hear that.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
You guys are the best. Thank you for sticking around
and Merry Christmas Christmas?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Do you thank you?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, this is what matters. On six ten w t
V N La La La La, La, La La La.
All right, we've got some time left? Are you not fair?
Because you listened to some of the rivia questions, you'll
know them all, won't you.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'll know a few of them, Okay, I mean not
all of them.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I will tell you.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I stopped at nell.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No was the last one. Never mind, I did listen
to this question.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I did that though, What does no want?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I knew?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I knew she.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Wanted a Dolly, but I didn't know and cries I
was actually with your rivia contest. I was like, but
I did know Bluebird?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I was like, yeah, right, everyone thinks it's Newburg gone away.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Is the bluebird here to stay?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
The new Bird? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I was surprised I didn't get that one, since it's
such a classic.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
So do you have your shopping done? First of all,
I saw that you finally decorated your house and you've
got a green, blinged up nail on grenchy nail.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
No, my shopping is not done.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
How about you? No, it's not done. I always worry
about it, but it always gets done. It always gets
done in the end.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And will you go out? What will you do?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Like, I'm ordering some things online, I'm going out there. Honestly.
I found a cute some cute little stores and shops
at Indian Lake. And you and I both like to
support local, shop local by local, right, and so I'm
able to have done that for a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I actually have one over. I want to tell people
about it that's over in Gehanna that I ran into.
You would love this and Cammy would love this too.
It's called the Fable Collection and it's a women's clothing boutique.
But it's not super pricey.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's like, that's why I would like you.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I mean, but I like it too. It's they have
super cue stuff. No, it's new and it's from brands
you just don't find everywhere. I'm gonna try to see
there's some pictures that I can show you, but it's
so fun.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Is not pricey. Let's say, for a sweater.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Thirty dollars, do you think that's pricey?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'd say between fifteen twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Does Cammy think that's pricey?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Cammy's really a good chopper. I mean she showed a
good she is.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yes, I mean I love a thrift store.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Do not get me. We are thrift store people for sure,
but yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, it's like your friend who what's what's your friend
who is married to a former baseball player? She's been
on the show or on raw sometimes. Oh oh oh, deb, Deb,
that's more than style, right. It kind of reminds me
of some of that Li you're just showing me.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It looks just like Cammy. Go right there to the
left hand, right here, right up, no, above that, right here,
right there, right there.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, So just you know, again, shopping local. I love
to find little clothing shops because it's different than what
you can get when you're Amazon.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I saw something that mickayleb posted and I thought it
was her elf on the shelf. I thought she did,
and I had to give you credit because I thought
it was so funny. And then she was like, no,
that wasn't my Elf on the shelf. You found it
from somebody and shared it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah. So it's the elf doing the splits above the
water coming out of the refrigerator, and it says, don't
let your fifteen year old do the Elf on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I thought, you guys, that was from you, and I thought, oh,
I got to give her some credit on that good time.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I wish it was from them. No, Elvis is just
like hanging out on my fireplace right now.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You know, that is one tradition that we never had.
I think elf on the shelf came around after right
after Kylon the Cameron.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I think that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Kylon's girlfriend was in town because it went to a
Christmas party last night. Spend some time with them, and
she said that she had ELF on the shelf. I'm
like right, I'm like, I feel like I cheated my
kids because they never had Elf on the shelf.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I mean, Elf on the shelf probably cost about fifty bucks.
So Mindy was like, I don't think I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I'm so glad I didn't have Elf on this shelf.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You would have to put it in a different place
every day every day.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Well, I don't care about that. I care about the
fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, the fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
For a little How tall is the elf on the shelf?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
So next weekend, let's chee this up before we're out.
Next weekend we're gonna do the cookie, the annual Christmas
eating Christmas cookie eating content.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
Easy for you to say, yes. So we have our
raining champ, Josh Aush Josh mc gosh. He said he's
back in he wants to win again. We need two
contestants to go up against Josh. You guys, it's so easy.
And this year the cookies are from Lola and Giuseppees.

also have Lowland Zeppe's Bakery. So eat those cookies. Come
(15:57):
and join us for fun in the studio. We would
love to meet you. We love our listeners.

just really enjoy talking with you every Sunday. So consider

did you see it was the person of the year.
It was the to at all. It was AI. Another
big news story from the week. And as far as
search engines go, Charlie Kirk was another name that was
one of the most searched of this past year. And
I don't know if you guys saw this or not,
(05:17):
but his wife, Erica Kirk, was making the rounds the
media round was the past week because they were able
to create and write the final book that he was
working on. And I caught some of Erica Kirk on
one of the Fox shows and they had told her.
They said, the one thing that came out of Charlie
Kirk's murder was that so many people a resurgence of
(05:41):
people finding Jesus and going to church. So I did
have a little bit of sound about her comment because
she was so touched by the fact that people are
once again because of her husband, finding that, you know,
finding their faith again. So listen to what she said
about that. Chris, do you have that sound?
Speaker 6 (05:59):
I sent you there buying Bibles for the first time,
going back to church in years, calling their family members
and apologizing or saying, hey, can we somehow bridge this?
Heal this?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
It's helpful.
Speaker 1 (06:11):
And Charlotte every single day on his way into work
would text people Bible verses and he just wanted to
remind people that this is what it's all about.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
It's about your life here is so short. So are
you going to use your short time here on earth
to make.
Speaker 1 (06:28):
This place better?
Speaker 7 (06:29):
Or are you going to make it work?
Speaker 6 (06:30):
So you're going to be a solution or are you're
going to be an additional problem?
Speaker 3 (06:33):
And so every day he wanted to help people remember, Okay.
Speaker 6 (06:36):
When I message you, it's to get your mind right
in your heart right in the right heart space.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
You're going to start off your day with a Bible verse.
Even if you're not Christian, even if you're not Jewish,
even if you.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Don't believe in anything, at least you're reading something that
is true and beautiful and.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
It gets you set on the right pace to have
an amazing day and maybe bless someone else along the way.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
And that goes back with our conversation that we had
last week. Found this stat that how many families go
through the rest of their life being estranged and not
building that.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
No contacting, no contents as your family. We got a
lot of Facebook comments on that put I thought I
posted in our group. I didn't. I posted it wrong.
I ended up posting it on my faces.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
I looked, I found that, I searched, I couldn't find it.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
Yeah, I mean, yes, there was a lot that happened
this week.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
There was a lot.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And back to AI, how is AI going to change
music ric?
Speaker 5 (07:30):
Well, of course, music technology has been around for the
past thirty years or so, there's a lot of influence
of computers using music. Well, we I use a computer
to write music to notate it. You know. I remember
back in the eighties when musicians were complaining in Las
Vegas there's no more work for musicians. Everything is becoming,
(07:51):
you know, computerized. I said, well, you better learn technology
because you know, musicians are now using the computer to
help compose and write music and rotate it. But I've
still been able to keep an eighteen piece band together. Yet.
I use the technology or to write the music and
it can play it back for you, so you can
hear the arrangements before you ever take them in to
(08:13):
make sure there's no mistakes. And it's just it's become
a great tool. It's also much more efficient way to
write music because you have that instant feedback. So I
can't write without it. After growing up using the pencil
and paper, you know, I'm using the computer is the
only way to go for me?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Is there kind of I'm curious for kids who enjoy
writing music, is there kind of software or AI that
you can use to start to do some of this?
Speaker 5 (08:38):
There absolutely is. There's a program that's been used for
many years called Finale, although they just recently went out
of business. There's a new company that's kind of taken
over called Dorico. Dorico Yeah, and Sebately is. There's three
or four big music notation programs that are out there
that the professionals use, and they're very helpful to be
able to get your creative ideas together, get them on paper.
Speaker 3 (09:01):
I have a kid who can play piano by ear.
I don't even know if you know this. Logan can
play piano. He can hear a song. This is weird
because he's not he has ess the music Christians, the
musical one. But Logan can hear something and then play
it on the piano. He has a keyboard in his room.
And what I'm like the Journey song, Don't Stop Believing.
He's been working on that for a so there.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
I wish he would lean into music.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
But that's something.
Speaker 8 (09:26):
And then if you can hear that and just do
it on your own well perfect pitch, we've talked about
that before. That's a that's a gift that people have
where they can they can memorize the musical tones and
being able to memorize phrases of music as well.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
That's just a gift.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
Well, I ask you guys, what your favorite Christmas movie
was just before we go to break. I was curious
because I also think of all the cartoons, you know,
that's what I always grew up on. The Rudolphs, the Frosties,
the Thing, the Heat Miser. Okay, so all the Christmas cartoons.
What's number one?
Speaker 4 (10:00):
Probably Peanuts.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
It's got to be Peanuts.
Speaker 8 (10:02):
What do you think, Rick, I agree with that.
Speaker 5 (10:04):
Peanuts Charlie Brown Christmas?
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Is that what you're going with. I'm gonna go with Rudolph
Charlie Brown Christmas number one?
Speaker 3 (10:11):
Ya?
Speaker 1 (10:12):
How the Grinch Stole Christmas? And then Rudolph the Red
Nose Rainey. Rudolph was always my favorite growing up. I
just loved Rudolf. Oh. I thought it was the cutest
thing ever ever. It's probably why I became such an
animal lover.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
I think, honestly, that was my favorite Christmas cartoon as
a kid.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
Yeah, that's well, that's what Yeah, Yeah, I think that was.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
When my niece was little, she asked for Little Clarice,
which was girl Friend, and it took me four years
to find it.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
I finally found it. It's funny how time changes because
we think of Clarice of Rudolph's girlfriend, and then Clarice silence,
different Clice.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
Charlie Brown Christmas. We have a big band arrangement of that.
Of course you do, so will be playing that next time.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
Fun get to hear that.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
You guys are the best. Thank you for sticking around
and Merry Christmas Christmas?
Speaker 5 (11:11):
Do you thank you?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Yeah, this is what matters. On six ten w t
V N La La La La, La, La La La.
All right, we've got some time left? Are you not fair?
Because you listened to some of the rivia questions, you'll
know them all, won't you.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I'll know a few of them, Okay, I mean not
all of them.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I will tell you.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
I stopped at nell.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
No was the last one. Never mind, I did listen
to this question.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
I did that though, What does no want?
Speaker 1 (11:51):
I knew?
Speaker 6 (11:53):
I knew she.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Wanted a Dolly, but I didn't know and cries I
was actually with your rivia contest. I was like, but
I did know Bluebird?
Speaker 1 (12:04):
I was like, yeah, right, everyone thinks it's Newburg gone away.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
Is the bluebird here to stay?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
The new Bird? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (12:13):
I was surprised I didn't get that one, since it's
such a classic.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
So do you have your shopping done? First of all,
I saw that you finally decorated your house and you've
got a green, blinged up nail on grenchy nail.
Speaker 3 (12:25):
No, my shopping is not done.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
How about you? No, it's not done. I always worry
about it, but it always gets done. It always gets
done in the end.
Speaker 3 (12:32):
And will you go out? What will you do?
Speaker 1 (12:34):
Like, I'm ordering some things online, I'm going out there. Honestly.
I found a cute some cute little stores and shops
at Indian Lake. And you and I both like to
support local, shop local by local, right, and so I'm
able to have done that for a couple of things.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
I actually have one over. I want to tell people
about it that's over in Gehanna that I ran into.
You would love this and Cammy would love this too.
It's called the Fable Collection and it's a women's clothing boutique.
But it's not super pricey.
Speaker 1 (13:03):
It's like, that's why I would like you.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
I mean, but I like it too. It's they have
super cue stuff. No, it's new and it's from brands
you just don't find everywhere. I'm gonna try to see
there's some pictures that I can show you, but it's
so fun.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
Is not pricey. Let's say, for a sweater.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Thirty dollars, do you think that's pricey?
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I'd say between fifteen twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
Does Cammy think that's pricey?
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Cammy's really a good chopper. I mean she showed a
good she is.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Yes, I mean I love a thrift store.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Do not get me. We are thrift store people for sure,
but yeah, it's.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah, it's like your friend who what's what's your friend
who is married to a former baseball player? She's been
on the show or on raw sometimes. Oh oh oh, deb, Deb,
that's more than style, right. It kind of reminds me
of some of that Li you're just showing me.
Speaker 1 (13:53):
It looks just like Cammy. Go right there to the
left hand, right here, right up, no, above that, right here,
right there, right there.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Yeah, So just you know, again, shopping local. I love
to find little clothing shops because it's different than what
you can get when you're Amazon.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
I saw something that mickayleb posted and I thought it
was her elf on the shelf. I thought she did,
and I had to give you credit because I thought
it was so funny. And then she was like, no,
that wasn't my Elf on the shelf. You found it
from somebody and shared it.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Yeah. So it's the elf doing the splits above the
water coming out of the refrigerator, and it says, don't
let your fifteen year old do the Elf on the shelf.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
I thought, you guys, that was from you, and I thought, oh,
I got to give her some credit on that good time.
Speaker 3 (14:42):
I wish it was from them. No, Elvis is just
like hanging out on my fireplace right now.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
You know, that is one tradition that we never had.
I think elf on the shelf came around after right
after Kylon the Cameron.
Speaker 3 (14:54):
I think that's right.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
Kylon's girlfriend was in town because it went to a
Christmas party last night. Spend some time with them, and
she said that she had ELF on the shelf. I'm
like right, I'm like, I feel like I cheated my
kids because they never had Elf on the shelf.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
I mean, Elf on the shelf probably cost about fifty bucks.
So Mindy was like, I don't think I'm gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I'm so glad I didn't have Elf on this shelf.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
You would have to put it in a different place
every day every day.
Speaker 1 (15:20):
Well, I don't care about that. I care about the
fifty bucks.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Yeah, the fifty bucks.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
For a little How tall is the elf on the shelf?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
So next weekend, let's chee this up before we're out.
Next weekend we're gonna do the cookie, the annual Christmas
eating Christmas cookie eating content.
Speaker 1 (15:33):
