Sacred Santa with Olivia Oshry: Monday, November 27th, 2023

Good morning, Millennials.

I didn't want to say it because I knew you were going to come for me.

No, I couldn't.

I came for I only needed to say it once, and we established your good morning, millennials, way of doing GMM.

Thank you.

But good morning to all our millennials out there.

Gen, X, Y, Z.

Boomers.

Boomers, of course.

What's before boomers?

I think I read something recently.

I could 100% be making this up, but have you heard of Zoomers?

Yeah, what's that?

I think it's under boomers, right?

Under, as in older than boomers?

No, younger.

Okay, who's older than Boomers?

No,

I don't think there is.

I think they're at the top of the gape.

Okay.

Well, welcome everyone to our show.

Happy Monday, the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend.

What a joyous holiday weekend.

We can't ask for anything more than a beautiful holiday weekend.

Plus,

we have a very exciting episode today because Trout Skin is co-hosting with me today.

I'm here.

Trout Skin is Olivia, our older sister, because Claudia is out doing due tings this morning.

Today is a very big day for Dew and his recovery.

So we are all sending prayers up for Dew.

I have my Dew pillow.

If you're watching on YouTube, I think I'll just like leave it here.

Yes, I love that.

Just so that everyone can be reminded of the power of Dew and how Dew needs our thoughts and prayers at this moment.

Agreed.

Agreed.

Prayers for Theo.

We're Dew Strong always.

Yeah.

So hopefully Claudia will be back tomorrow and we'll know a little bit more.

But today Olivia is joining us to do the toast, which is always a delight.

Thank you so much for having me.

You know, I absolutely love being here.

And I will say every time I do this show, which is, you know, rare.

It's more frequent these days.

It's more frequent these days, but that's what I was going to say.

It's like I have more and more, like my level of respect for you and Claudia is astronomical, but it gets even higher because the way that I pick myself apart, like watching myself, like, I don't understand how you do it.

you can't watch like and then everybody gives you like feedback you know you put some bronzer in your part Olivia don't wear this makeup don't this don't that and so like you know I I feel like today I came ready you know to like punch out the comments, you know?

Okay, you don't have to read the comments and you don't have to watch it back.

No, but by the way, sometimes people's feedback is really helpful.

Like you don't can't always like see yourself.

Like I can't see myself right now.

So, you know, I don't know how I'm looking.

And then afterwards, people give you feedback for sure.

Okay.

If you have to sift through a bunch of crap to find like one helpful comment, is it that helpful?

Totally.

Totally.

Yeah, no, like my foot is covered.

So people don't say anything about feet.

They love to come for the rest of the day.

I just, I was really all like prepared.

Like, I'm ready to go.

Come at me.

Yeah.

My, I don't, I usually wear like a shoe on the show, but sometimes my Instagram story, like, I guess a barefoot will make it into the frame.

And the way people go.

buck wild when they see a barefoot it's like are you guys okay and also like everybody has feet you know it's so weird and i think my hands are worse than my feet so no and i don't have like bad feet or it's just the concept of like seeing feet yeah positively some people you know are a little too here for it other people are like put those feet away it's like it's just my feet it's just my feet yeah well we're matching today we are matching we did not quarrel

we're just so simpatico yeah we are and how are you doing since we last saw you i'm doing good we had um such a lovely weekend of just like kid-centric family fun and that was was such a high.

Um, and then obviously, there are, you know, the emotional complexities with what's going on in the world.

And, like, so thankful, thank Hashem that, you know, hostages are coming home, but also just

turmoil around

it's not quick enough and it's not in the way that was agreed upon, which was already a shitty agreement, if we're going to be real about it.

Like, one innocent child hostage for three convicted attempted murderers is just not really apples to apples.

And then they're, you know, delaying hostage release.

Red Cross still hasn't visited, but we have gotten,

I think it was like 13 hostages for the last three days.

Today, there should be a hostage release probably while we're recording.

So I'm just praying that everyone comes home.

Yeah.

It's like...

So emotionally complex, like the highs and lows of like waiting, hoping, being so happy for the ones who are out.

I'm just like being so heartbroken for the ones who are in.

And even like, you know, they're supposed to release children and their mothers.

Yesterday, a girl came out who was with her mom in captivity the entire time.

And then they separated them two days before she came out and said, and then the mom didn't come out.

But like, that's not the agreement.

Right.

So it's just really frustrating.

But I guess that's what happens like when you're trying to make an agreement with an actual terrorist organization.

Like you can't really trust that they're going to be the most forthcoming.

Totally.

Totally.

So.

Yeah.

Just, yeah, that's definitely added

a layer.

A layer to the weekend.

But otherwise, it was a very lovely holiday weekend.

We had Thanksgiving.

Olivia made a really amazing turkey.

But you probably

hosted so beautifully.

Like, we had such a nice time.

We had such a nice time.

But probably, I always like turkey.

I'm not one of those people that's like, turkey, turkey.

You know, like, I don't know.

I think that's Claudia.

It's like, turkey's gross.

Like, no, it's not.

It's totally fine.

We told the kids it was chicken.

We didn't have to tell them.

They picked it up and ate it.

They said, chicken, yum.

It's chicken, okay?

I think it's poultry, right?

Like, is that.

Yeah, like, if you look look at a turkey bird and like when they're alive and a chicken bird,

they look alike.

They do.

They do.

A turkey is definitely.

They're of the same elk.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Totally.

But Olivia made a really, really amazing turkey.

Probably the best that I've ever had.

And I'm not someone who like complains about turkeys, what I was trying to say.

So I appreciate that.

Can you tell everyone what you did?

I totally can.

So this is my second time ever making a turkey.

The first year, I followed the half-baked harvest turkey recipe.

It's the one that's most recommended.

And honestly, my turkey last year was really good.

But I, my like content that I am served is so diverse.

And I would say like 60% of what I was being served up was turkey related in the last, you know, couple weeks.

And so I really wanted to give like spatchcocking turkey a try.

I just like kept seeing it everywhere.

And everybody like makes it look so easy to cut out the backbone.

I'm here to tell you that it's actually like not that easy.

I was sweating like you wouldn't believe.

Like I bought a 16 pound turkey and a lot of the videos that I saw and things that I looked up online was like 10 to 12 or 10 to 15.

So like anyone had a big bird, you know, but I did wind up getting it and you like crack the breastbone down.

But essentially you create a flat turkey so that it can evenly cook and it cooks faster.

And so I didn't follow a recipe.

I just kind of made this like herbie roasted garlic paste.

So I did like parsley, thyme, used my thyme trick.

Don't forget it.

Two bulbs of roasted garlic and then like salt, pepper, olive oil.

And I just like rubbed it all over, put it in the pan with some, you know, aromatics at the bottom, celery, carrots, onion, lemon, garlic, and it cooked for two hours.

And it really was like unbelievable.

And also, I feel like what I did would be good really with like any meat.

Like I can't wait to do that with a chicken.

Yeah.

Use the leftovers with my leftover gravy to make turkey pot pie the next night, which was also

stellar.

Because by the way, we had a lot of turkey leftover, hence the 16 pound turkey.

And I have no more turkey left in my house.

Like I'm completely out.

Oh, I need to check my fridge.

I only had leftovers on Friday, and then I didn't engage.

I feel like that's normal.

Even for you to even have leftovers in the first place is like a big deal.

Yeah, I'm not a huge leftovers person, but Thanksgiving food, like I think it translates nicely to leftovers.

Yeah.

But I do, I think today's the day where I officially throw away anything that hasn't been there.

That's fair.

Yeah.

I think that's absolutely fair.

Yeah.

And Jackie hosted your table was so colorful and bright and lovely.

We had delicious food, delicious conversation.

The kids had such a nice time.

It was so fun.

I was saying I was so burnt out from the day.

Like we did a whole episode on Patreon of Thanksgiving table topics, like, you know, stories that are going on in the world.

Like, I don't think I said one word at the table.

I was so like.

No, I don't even know what we talked about.

Our conversation was so light and airy.

Like, we had a lovely time.

We didn't like have conversation.

We really just like talked about the food.

I was going to say, I feel like that's what we talk about a lot when we're like sitting out to eat a meal.

Like we talk about the food we're eating or other food.

I don't feel like always, but certainly like we all cooked all day.

Like let's all talk about what's good on the table, like what needs what, what we would make again.

Yeah, that's the conversation.

Yeah.

Also what we ate last year versus this year, like we were talking about food the whole time.

Right.

But it's also not like we ate for that long.

No.

I think we ate pretty.

You also made like spinach article, choke dip, like you made lovely things.

Yeah.

And I, um,

no, but like.

the the sitting down wasn't very long for you.

No, and it never is.

Like you cook all day for a 20-minute meal.

That's always how it goes.

Yeah.

So there wasn't like that much conversation to be had.

And we were like both tired.

So it was just so dead.

It wasn't like I couldn't have possibly been as tired as you though, because like you did, I made the turkey, but like you did everything else.

Yeah, I was just like, I was doing fine.

And then I just

like was sober.

You were on your feet all day.

That's what my husband said on Friday.

On Friday, he played 33 holes of golf.

And on Friday night, he's like, I'm so tired.

I was on my feet all day.

I'm like, how can he like, that's not okay to say, right?

But that's like, that's elective on your feet.

Yeah.

I wanted to also tell you what Shapiro did last night because I feel like everyone would get like such a riot out of this.

But,

you know, people wake up in the middle of the night, like they go to the bathroom or whatnot.

And my husband's making so much noise in the middle of the night.

This is like partially why I'm so tired today.

I was just like, what the fuck are you doing?

He's like, I just took a shower.

It must have been three in the morning.

I don't even know what time it was.

I'm like, what's wrong with you?

He's like, I definitely have lice.

I'm like, what?

He's like, I'm so itchy.

We've all been there.

I'm like, okay, first of all, you would be like the last person in the house to get lice.

Like it would be Michaela Michaela first, then it would be me.

Like it would not, and nobody's even, that hasn't crossed anyone's mind.

I'm like, you probably like have a sunburn on your head and it's itchy or like maybe you're having allergic reaction because he has like so many allergic reactions.

I was just like, you're being nuts.

Go back to sleep.

And I roll over.

And I don't know what time it was.

I want to say it was like 3 a.m.

He's fucking scrolling on his phone.

I'm like, put your phone down and go to sleep.

Cause he's like the type of person, if he feels like he's up, he's up.

And I'm like, uh-uh.

Like, we are going back to sleep.

That light is not going to keep me up.

You are being insane.

Goodbye.

So, I'm also tired.

So, does he have lice?

Absolutely not.

Did you give him a lice check?

I did actually this morning.

And I was like, your head is, your scalp is red.

Like, you have either some sort of like reaction, some from the itching of it.

Yeah, the itching of it.

He also has dandruff, like, get a new shampoo.

Like, do not take a shower in the middle of the night.

Wake me up.

I know, but we've all sort of been there where you're just like, I think I have lice today.

What if I just had lights?

And the thing about lice is like the second someone says the the word lice, I can guarantee you for anybody watching the show, you're going to start it.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I wonder if my husband has ever had lice.

I've never asked him.

I don't know if he actually has ever had.

I just think he immediately went there.

We had lice a million times.

Well, I mean, we're like girls.

We went to camp.

We have a lot of hair.

I feel like we actually evaded it for so long.

And then we got it like kind of late in life for lice.

But we got it.

And then we got it over and over and over again.

And it's not like something that like once you get once, you're more susceptible to.

I had lice became lice girly in high school.

Like I was in the ninth grade when i had lice for sure um

i like vividly remember that but that like makes sense because like margo would have been in like the third grade and that would be a time to get lice and she would have given it to me yeah yeah i love how we're just slandering her saying like she gave me lice or i could have been from anywhere else but margo you definitely gave it to me that time i feel like for as many times as we had it everyone played their part.

So I don't remember ever giving it.

Yeah, sure, sure, sure, sure.

I don't actually lice.

I just get it.

Lice like loves like clean hair, clean people.

So it's like kind of like such a compliment.

That's what they say.

I think that's one of those like kid tricks, you know, where.

No, no, no.

I think it's genuine.

Like they want like a nice clean surface to like

amplify their

eggs.

But say a lice makes it into the head of a dirty, you know, complicated hair.

Are they leaving?

Are they packing their bags or they're just on the bag?

Maybe they're not spreading as fast.

I don't know.

They're just like unhappily residing.

I think it's one of those things to tell kids.

It's like, oh, they picked you because you're so clean and your hair is amazing.

That's why it happened to you.

That's like a good thing

to cheer up kids.

Yeah, yeah, sure.

Sure.

Sure.

Okay, well, we have a very jolly good show for you today.

Some great stories, some great advertisements.

And we have a trout skin here.

So you just never know where things are going to go.

You never know.

I feel like we keep it on the path, you know?

We actually do.

I think Claudia and I, I think, are the worst worst combination but and the best of like tangents but that's also that's that's the nature of the show yeah

100 with guests you know

it's easier to stay on track yeah totally so i consider myself like i'm i'm not a guest in the traditional sense you know co-host guest co-host yeah yeah yeah are you not that no but i'm not like a bravo star you know oh no but guest co-host yeah yeah

like ben is a guest co-host too yeah yeah yeah yeah I just feel like Ben, me, Margo, are in like one category of people, and then there are like other famous people that are in another category.

A guest co-host?

Yeah.

But okay, where would you put like Taylor Strecker?

Cause she's also like family.

That's so hard.

Why would you do that to me?

I'm just trying to like make a pressure.

Press it out.

I was just trying to compare myself to like a page de Sorbo.

Like we're not the same, you know?

Okay.

Like she's a queen, you know.

You're a queen.

No, in a different way.

A queen of a different kingdom.

Yeah, 100%.

Okay, cool.

Well, we have a great show.

Also, did you see the conversation?

Um, last week, Claudia Claudia was like pressed.

Are you getting roasted for something?

I'm always getting roasted.

Like sports?

Oh, yeah.

What did you say?

What'd you do?

Oh, I said you'll like this.

Because honestly, the last time I was on here talking about sports, like I definitely got a few things wrong.

Again, and I got some positive feedback that I learned stuff, you know?

Yeah.

So what I said was, you know, the Eagles and the.

Chiefs were playing each other last week.

Right.

And I just said it felt thirsty.

Right.

And that it's what I said that was inaccurate was that I said it doesn't count towards anything.

It's kind of like a showcase scrimmage.

But I was right in the sense that there are two teams that wouldn't ordinary, they're not in the same conference.

Right.

So it was like they were chosen by the NFL to play, but they were chosen because oftentimes the Super Bowl teams do play each other next year and that game does count towards their score.

Right, right, right.

So I was wrong about it being a scrimmage.

No, of course.

And it was scheduled before Taylor Swift entered the picture.

Yeah.

So it wasn't thirsty on that count, but it did still feel thirsty because of Kelsey Bowl.

No, totally.

There's a lot of things in the NFL that are just, they really do feel too scripted.

Like, tell me how all of a sudden the Dolphins, like, were playing, you know, in New York so that Braxton could be with Alex Earl's family for Thanksgiving and her whole family could go to the game.

I was wondering

how he was with her for Thanksgiving when he had a game on Friday.

Because he was down the street.

That's how.

Like, there's just so many things.

And by the way, like, it just, it feels...

It does feel scripted, no?

That's, I thought he, like, flew in, flew out.

I was wondering that I forgot to like follow up and I didn't realize realize they were playing in New York.

Yeah, I think Claudia was at the game.

She was at the game.

No, that makes complete sense.

And then her whole family went to the game.

Yeah.

Which is actually like lovely.

Like, it's very sweet.

It's just like...

How did he play?

TBD, I don't know.

I saw one play that like didn't look good for him.

He was chasing after somewhere.

I think the Dolphins like had an amazing game.

Like they had a 99-yard touchdown where the ball was thrown and they intercepted it and ran it.

I think I saw that.

So I think it was a huge team win.

Yeah.

They won the game.

Yeah, the Jets are terrible.

Aaron Rodgers Rodgers of it all.

Yeah.

So, okay.

Like, that's a celebration.

And then Aaron Rodgers apparently got cleared right after the game to be able to come back.

I think he's playing this week or something like that.

Again, don't come for me.

I don't know.

But he said he was going to be back by December.

He's back.

I think he's ready for action.

I love that for him.

I've missed him.

I'd rather see him out there shaking that thing.

So, yeah, there were a lot of scripted Thanksgiving football.

And you know, that's like, I didn't know that that was a running joke within the NFL.

Do you see?

Um, there was a sketch.

I don't know what it was for now that that maybe it was for like opening football season.

It was like a sketch

about how the NFL is scripted by the NFL.

And there's all of them sitting around a table about like things that they were going to do this year.

No, because it's like there's too many things that are just too

scripted.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Huh.

The Mariena.

Any other sports this weekend?

Eagles won.

They're doing well.

Happy for them.

Yeah.

We like we.

Cowboys won on Thanksgiving.

Yes.

Yeah.

That's always a big game for you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

So I was happy.

And Harry's a little Cowboys fan.

He is.

Yeah.

So I was happy for my boys.

Yeah.

And that's your sports recap.

Love it.

100% accurate.

All the facts right here.

Did you buy anything for Black Friday?

I did.

I was telling everyone.

I think I said this on the Patreon.

I don't know if I said it on the show.

I got my outdoor furniture.

Oh, yes.

I'm so excited for you.

Mostly because I'm excited for myself.

I'm so excited.

Like, it's been a while since I've been excited about like a big purchase.

Yeah.

I guess because I haven't bought furniture in a while.

And now I'm like re-upping and I just like can't, I'm counting down the days.

Yeah.

I can't wait for next summer.

I'm counting the days.

Well, it's summer here all the time.

So you're good.

It's from the book.

I know.

Oh my God.

From the book, Camper and Counselor.

Never heard of it.

Did you get anything for Black Friday?

I did.

I bought a new fridge for my garage because

my current fridge in my garage is like from the house when we bought it.

And I just like wanted to get like a new one and just upgrade it.

And I just felt like Black Friday was a perfect purchase.

Yeah, that's the perfect thing to get.

And then I just bought the kids a bunch of stuff.

I bought them a bunch of clothes from like memes and Amazon and all the different places.

I think my husband, like he got a lot of shoes from God knows where.

There's always packages showing up at my door.

I got my white elephant gift.

Sacred Santa.

Sacred Santa.

I like Sacred Santa.

Yeah.

I got my Santa.

I thought like Black Friday was a perfect time to buy it.

Somebody did remind me to do that.

I think it was Claudia.

Claudia.

I got my Sacred Santa gift too.

Did you?

Yeah.

I'm so eager to know who you have.

I'm eager to know who you have.

I bet you are.

Is it me?

No, it's not.

It's me.

I swear.

I swear it's not.

Oh my God.

You're the worst person to buy for.

I just bought you for your birthday, you know?

So I feel like

you're the easiest person to buy for.

Like when I've been shopping for other people, I'm like, this would be great for me.

This, that.

I'm wearing a bracelet that I got you, though.

So I did.

I am wearing Olivia's birthday gift.

She got me an evil eye bracelet.

It's working, bitches.

Tata for now.

Oh, I got him, Greg.

So Sacred Santa.

I feel like the whole of the toast is so invested in our secret Santa.

I can't wait.

We are going to have to Patreon.

Yeah.

Yeah.

We've been talking about it, Claudia and I on the show.

Did you tell Zach Shapiro, your husband, who you have?

Yes.

You told him like immediately, right?

I was just like, should we tell each other who we have?

And he was like, yeah.

And honestly, like, I'm really glad that I did you know oh okay i know who he has then no no no i'm saying like for me like i needed help oh you needed oh so it was me yeah and then for him

no it's not you it's not you

but for him i i also like

i maybe helped him a little too no that's the point to tell of you yeah yeah like i zach and i told each other so that um Yeah, we could help.

We've been really helpful.

But he had a really good idea.

Your husband is amazing at like gag gifts, finding like things that nobody's ever heard of that are the best things in the world.

Like that's his his

specialty like a like hundred dollar cap i was like saying that i actually like hope he has me because like i feel like he would get a great gift you know is there anything that you want that you want to put forth to your sacred santa no but are you saying that he has me no he doesn't watch this show

No, I honestly, I want for nothing.

That's why I feel like I'm personally a hard person to buy for.

Like I have everything I want.

Like I don't need anything, you know?

But I just like would be eager to see what somebody would need, you know, think I want or need.

You could always get a little crap from Etsy.

Always.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, I have tons of crap and I love it.

Yeah, I love crap.

Okay, let's get into the stories.

No more dilly dallyinks.

Without further ado, it is time for the fast five stories that you, you need to know as we pray for you today.

Wow, that was excellent.

Thank you.

I always like to put a little something special for the day.

You're too clever.

Thank you, Olivia.

Can I take a sip of your coffee while you kill me?

Wow, brazen.

That's why you complimented me.

That's why she complimented me.

The way that that thought process didn't even cross my mind, is this the M Special?

That's the M Special.

I could taste it.

It tastes really good.

You guys, there's a place called the Cheese Store.

It's in Florida and Long Island, and they have the best iced coffee.

And Margo, our sister, and Emily, her best friend, made a special flavor.

It's called the M Special.

I'm sure you've been seeing them posting about it.

It's sold out already.

Oh, okay.

So get a different flavor from the cheese store.

My personal favorite is Oreo and vanilla velvet.

Yeah, you got me onto Oreo.

I usually do hazelnut.

It's just tried and true, true, but I've been enjoying s'mores from your house on Thanksgiving.

It was really good.

It's for you.

I know.

Rina always drops off for both of us and I never give it to you.

I know.

That's why I stole it when I was like helping put food away because I was like, this, I feel like, belongs to me.

I took a bottle of yay big.

Literally does belong to you.

So enjoy.

I love Hatch.

Hatch is the best product for falling asleep, staying asleep, and waking up.

It makes waking up so humane.

It makes going to sleep so calming, relaxing, peaceful.

And you need to get your hatch.

So hatch being today's answer is so appropriate because this morning I woke up five minutes before my alarm sound went off and waking up to a sunrise on my hatch restore instead of my phone alarm put me in such a good mood and made it so much easier to jumpstart my day.

Yes, hatch slowly wakes you up with the sun.

It takes like 30 minutes.

It starts getting lighter and lighter until your alarm goes off.

But oftentimes you wake up before your alarm.

And isn't that the best feeling in the world?

Totally.

And they have a 60-night money-back guarantee.

So you can try it for yourself risk-free.

The Hatch Restore is a device that helps you build a consistent bedtime and morning routine so you can prioritize rest and sleep better.

Also, I'm personally, I've unlocked all of the

noise machine features and I love it because they have so many different noises to choose from.

I'm personally in like a night rainstorm

state of mind, but you can do it on your phone.

So, if I'm like across the room and like I'm nap trapped and I want to turn the sound machine on because Charlie fell asleep, like I can just do it on my phone and it will come on.

I don't have to go turn it on across the room, but you can also tap it on top.

It's just an amazing device.

I'm obsessed.

I'm obsessed.

I could go on and on.

Our first story, some happy baby news.

And the kind of shocking.

Thankful Paris Hilton secretly welcomes a second baby with her husband Carter room and reveals the name.

So she's officially a family of four.

Paris revealed on Friday that her and her husband Carter secretly welcome their second baby.

She posted a picture of a pink outfit monogram with the name London and said, thankful for my baby girl.

So

in multiple videos, she called her son Phoenix a big brother and gushed to her nieces and nephews about having two babies.

I like, I saw this.

I thought she was, it was an announcement of a pregnancy.

Yeah.

And then you told me that, no, like the baby is here, which is so amazing.

That's two successful secret pregnancies for her, which I think is like the hardest thing to do.

Yeah.

And her kids are like 11 months apart.

Amazing.

Yeah.

I also love that like, obviously, her name is Paris.

Her son is Phoenix.

Her daughter's London.

Like she went with like the city thematic naming convention.

I know.

I wish we had the opportunity to guess what her baby name would be because I think like we would have been able to guess it.

I incorrectly guessed for her son.

I thought his name was going to be Maximilian.

Oh, no, I don't see that for her.

Maximilian room Hilton.

I really felt Hilton room.

I really felt like that was going to be it.

Okay.

Well, you were wrong.

Well, she likes the cities, but so if we had to do girl city names,

London would be top or Sydney.

It's also funny because London Tipton from Sweet Life of Zack and Cody is based off of Paris, Hilton.

Right.

And Life Imitates Art.

She named her daughter London.

So now we really have a London Hilton Hilton room.

London Hilton room.

Yeah.

We have a room at the Hilton.

I'm actually so happy for her.

I'm so happy for her.

And she had spoken about how she really wants a daughter.

Yeah.

I think after her son was born and just in general, maybe it was even in her book that I read.

But

yeah.

I do love this era for her, like in her life, you know?

I love it.

But she's like a businesswoman.

She's a DJ.

She's a wife.

She's a mom.

She is doing her thing.

And she takes Phoenix everywhere with her.

And they're just like such a cute family unit.

So I'm really excited that she is growing her family.

And to have two kids so close in age is just so wonderful.

So wonderful.

Totally.

I'm so happy for her.

Also, speaking of celebrity memoirs, Britney Spears, The Woman in Me, is a Redheads book this month.

Did you know that?

I did because we talked about it last time I was on and I said I was going to read it and I haven't yet, but I still will.

Wow, I need to find more things to share.

But

it's just a reminder that you should become a Redhead.

It's never too late.

The first Thursday of December.

So next Thursday, and we're recording next week.

So I haven't started the book yet but another book update i'm getting through iron flame like i'm i'm almost like tough to get through i don't really understand what's going on do you know what iron flame is no okay have you heard of fourth wing

i've seen y'all post things okay it's the new

ya series it's very hungry games okay so fourth wing

but cool was like a huge success we read it for the redheads me Claudia and Margot loved it.

And then the new book, the sequel just came out and like Claudia and I have been struggling to get through it.

Not because it's bad.

It's just like slow and long and verbose.

But now I think I'm at like 70%.

Like hopefully I finish it today.

It's good.

It's just it that took too long.

Understood.

Understood.

It's also me.

Like I'm having a hard time like reading for chunks of periods of time, but that's why I was able to read this weekend, which was really nice.

That is lovely.

So we'll have a little fourth, a little Iron Flame recap on the Redheads episode this month.

Right, because you're all reading it?

Except for Dana, because she would never, she did not like the first.

Oh, okay.

Yeah.

I love Dana going against the green.

Oh, you need to listen to the Redheads.

That's all she does.

She hates everything because she's so highbrow.

That's so interesting, though, because, like, in real life, like, Dana's most amenable person on earth.

It's like, oh, you want to do this?

Yeah, sure.

Like, she never is contrarian.

No, when it comes to books, like, that's her thing.

Oh, okay.

Dana, and she's something new about it.

She's our harshest critic.

Oh, okay.

Her, but also snitch because, like, the books that Dana.

But I expect that from snitch.

Because Dana hates everything that's like, that Dana would like, you know.

Not to say snitch is lowbrow.

No, they're just different.

Different brows.

Yeah.

Different brows.

Left brow, right brow.

We could say that.

Unibrow?

They're not unibrow, and that's the problem.

Yeah, 100%.

But then with Rebecca and me in the middle, we make a Unibrow.

But Becky feels like somebody, like Becky's very, she has that similar vibe to Dana where they're just like super go with the flow, like down for anything.

So I can kind of see her being that.

She has strong opinions.

Honestly, I'm the one who's like, it was good.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

I don't expect that of you.

I know.

I just like, I feel bad trashing a book.

Like, when not trashing, but but like, I always kind of reel in what I'm saying just because, like, someone worked so hard on this.

And, like, if I finished the book, unless it was an absolute piece of garbage, my country friends, like, there's, it's, like, there's something to discuss.

If someone liked it, you know?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.

Plus, it's my job as the host of the show to like, yeah, be a little more impartial.

I find that's really where I am.

You're moderating the conversation.

I do moderate.

Yes.

So happy for the Hilton Room family.

Yeah, me too.

And what?

Do you think they'll have another kid?

I know that's inappropriate to ask, but I'm just going to, you know, pose the question.

Oh.

I hate when people ask it to me.

I'm not pregnant, but I do hope to have another kid.

Okay, thank you.

I don't know what I wouldn't be surprised if they don't.

Like, some people feel really strongly, like, they're, when they're at two, they're like, I'm done.

My family is complete.

Especially when they have both genders.

They also feel that way.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Either way, I'm super happy for her.

Yeah.

Same.

But I feel like we could, in another couple months from now, like it could just

be another one.

And I would be super stoked for her too yeah either way either way yeah our next story beyonce premiered her film renaissance in the u.s this weekend a lot of stars showing up and showing out and she looked beautiful in a silver platinum yeah she looked amazing versace gown so um the stars came out for uh Beyonce's premiere issue lizzo janal monet um all attended the premiere taylor swift was notably absent you know beyonce went to her premiere but Taylor has shows and she's still like grieving the loss of her fan.

So I don't think she was going to be rocking the carpet or rocking the stage at Arrowhead for that matter.

For sure.

Was Kim there?

No.

Oh, people were like hoping that maybe they would like see each other there.

And by people, I mean Liz P.

Woods.

Oh, she thought Kim might be there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I guess she really could have been there.

Yeah.

But she wasn't.

She wasn't.

So when does the movie come out?

Like, when can we see it?

I guess that means like when there's a premiere, then it's like a few days later.

Yeah.

Okay, cool.

There's a lot of this is like movie season.

Yeah.

Also, Taylor announced today that on December 13th, Eristor will be available on demand.

Oh, good.

Like that's really what I'm looking for because I don't know the last time that like I've like been to the movie seen a like to the theater seen a movie, but I love watching movies.

And then also there's the new movie Wish.

Okay.

The new Disney movie.

There's Napoleon, which I've heard was god-awful.

Oh, really?

And a front to Napoleon.

Darn.

Yeah, the reviews were not good.

I don't even know if I will see it

because...

There's another movie, a Scorsese one also.

Oh, Flowers.

Flower Moon.

Yeah.

And there was one more that we were just talking about, I think, on

the Patreon.

Oh,

Hunger Games prequel.

Oh.

It sounds good.

It does?

Yeah, it's President Snow Origin Story.

You know, that doesn't mean that.

Do you see Hunger Games?

I saw one when y'all forced me into the movie theater to watch it like 10 years ago, but I have like, I understand the concept, but it's not like something I'm a part of.

You never watched like the whole series?

No.

What do you think about Twilight?

You're such a contrarian.

It's not that I'm a contrarian.

These are just like not things that I enjoy watching like vampires and wolves, you know?

That's like not my vibe.

What's your vibe?

Like CIA?

Yes.

Yeah.

Yes.

FBI, CIA.

So do you like movies like Zero Dark 30?

Is that like your favorite movie?

It's not my favorite.

Honestly, I've never seen it, but I feel like I would like it.

Yeah,

you haven't seen it?

No.

No.

Okay, what about like saving Private Ryan or yeah, no, I've seen that.

It's not my favorite, but I've seen it.

Jar Head.

Not seen it.

I haven't seen it either.

I'm just naming military movies.

Yeah, no, like CIA, FBI, like doesn't necessarily mean military.

Like the types of movies that I love are like the oceans movies, Italian job, like Heisty Vibes is really like my favorite type of movie.

Yeah.

Did you like the most recent oceans movies with the ladies?

I did.

Very entertaining.

What's not to like?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And I just love when they like, you know, trick you.

Yeah.

Like now you see me.

Like I love movies like that, you know?

So funny.

Do you like Kingsman?

Love.

Obsess.

Love.

Who doesn't?

Obsess.

Kingsman Could Heal the World.

Everyone loves that movie.

There was one really bad one with Julianne Moore and it was still good.

It wasn't even bad.

Yeah.

It wasn't bad.

It's always on TV, The Golden Circle.

Yeah.

No, I love.

They just had another one, The Kingsman, which is like the prequel.

It's out?

I feel like a Kingsman movie doesn't come out without Claudia and I knowing about it.

No, it's been out for like a few years.

You must have seen it.

The Kingsman movie.

When did it come out?

2021.

Wait, the Kingsman, Stanley Tucci?

That's confusing just because the other guy looks like Stanley Tucci.

But yeah, you're right.

We have to tell Claudia.

She loves Kingsman too.

I love.

And by the way, like, I love...

I love a lot of movies, but I'm not really into like

the sci-fi-y

sequelle-y, like hunger games twilight i like i'll watch them if you're all watching them together it's just like not something i seek out okay yeah got it like bella edward like they just don't really do it for me but um she's wrong for that she's team jacob aren't you

do you even know what that means yeah the werewolf are you team jacob no let the record state i'm team nobody Wow.

I'll be team Renezme.

You guys used to say that Kayla was Renesme, like when she was born.

Yeah.

Why did we say that?

No.

Because she was growing quickly.

That's like the thing about Renezme.

Oh, no, because she would look at you.

I guess all babies do this now that I've met other babies.

They look at you like they're showing you like Renez Mei's, you know.

uh her superpower which is like they show you all the memories yeah but she like has to stare at you and focus and that's what she used to do that's so and you guys used to just say stuff like that and i'll accept it yeah like sure it's a compliment yeah

i don't you know it didn't really like fully understood what it meant yeah no i think it's because she was showing us all her memories with us.

Cute.

Yeah.

It was a cute thing we were saying.

You missed it.

Are you ready for our next story?

Another cute thing that you might have missed if I didn't bring it to your attention.

Please share.

Black Pink brings the girl group Glam to the Buckingham Palace State Banquet with the royal family.

You guys, I'm obsessed and I'm taking this moment to bring up a royal family story.

It's been so long.

Educate us.

Educate you because I posted to my Instagram story, Black Pink met King Charles.

Like,

I'm not not okay.

And Olivia's like, Who are these people?

I was like, It's Black Pink.

Like, you don't know Black Pink in your air.

Like, you don't know their songs.

How would I know?

Like, where would I hear it?

Their songs are.

Hold on, let me, you know what?

I'm going to play their most popular songs.

I do think like TikTok music.

No, okay.

Olivia, not on TikTok.

No, I know.

That's why I'm confused as to like, where would I hear this?

Like, it's not on series on the highway.

Not interested.

Did you ever watch

To All the Boys, those movies?

Um,

the movies isn't it oh no that's a summer i turned pretty i watched the first one oh this one kill this love this is probably their most popular song

do you know the song no but i like it it's good right

I'm telling you, Liv.

Okay, I'm into it.

I never heard of it.

I want to see you and the Wagoneer blasting Black Pink.

By the way, next time you see me, that's what I'll be doing.

It's such a good song.

But anyways, so they are like such a big K-pop girl group.

They like did Coachella.

Amazing.

And they're so talented.

They also have a documentary on Netflix if you want to learn more.

Oh, about the balance of the game.

I honestly love a documentary.

So, yeah.

So they turned heads in glamorous gowns.

They looked beautiful at the Buckingham Palace State Banquet on Tuesday with South Korean artists attending in support of the president and first lady before the group was made honorary members of the Order of the British Empire.

the k-pop singers looked regal for tuesday night's banquet with each member bringing her own style to the glittering banquet which was also attended by king charles cavalier spaniel iii queen camilla the prince and princess of wales kate and william the duchess of edinburgh and the duchess of gloucestershire that's my stab at pronouncing that i watched part one of the crown this weekend actually and really good i mean it's i just like i didn't want to watch it because it was only part one and part two comes out, I think, on like December 14th, but I just felt like I had to.

And it was, you know,

I don't want to give it away, but I guess I'm not because it's based on real.

But it's like, you know, the Diana story.

Yeah.

Which we know.

Yeah.

We know that it's about Diana.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Um.

And I think they do a masterful job as always.

So I love it and I'm excited for part two.

I'm waiting for part two in order to start part one.

Plus,

I have so much reading to do.

I actually don't even have time to watch it right now.

And we'll watch, it's a good thing to watch with the whole family over the holidays because I think everybody likes that okay so you're saying you're gonna watch part one again is that okay you said it was masterful i don't like to watch things twice that's like i'm really i'm really not into that that's like i find it super annoying it's a new thing like it in like binge era where it's like growing up when we like something we watched it over and over over and over again and now like you watch these shows or movies once and that's it that's it yeah maybe for kids like they still watch those same movies over again but like

maybe when you're a kid it's just different i think it's the different personality types like if you're the type of person that will, like, watch Friends every night and, like, re-watch the same episodes over and over, like, I'm not.

Well, if you're the type of person that watches Friends, period.

Right.

Like, or the office.

Like, I just don't.

That's not like, I will not turn on something I've seen already and like watch it if I need to, like, mindlessly watch.

Like, I'll always seek out something new.

I would probably waste all the time that I have seeking out, watching something new.

Just watching trailers and then you go to sleep.

My favorite thing to do is watch trailers.

Love it.

Well, I know that the crown is ending soon.

so we won't get up to,

you know, an episode with Black Pink meeting King Charles.

Darn.

And that's a loss for everyone because I would love to know what happened at this dinner.

I imagine it was wonderful.

I'm sure it was absolutely fabulous.

I can't wait to dive in.

Look how amazing they look.

Wow.

Yeah.

The video of them meeting King Charles was so cute.

That was just like not on my bingo card for things I was waiting for to happen or, you know, even thought about, but it was something that I needed.

Yeah.

Who would you love to see King Charles Cavalier meet next oh it's always fun like to see like forever who meets the royals I don't know who he has met he's you know been around a while he's probably met a lot of people for sure like who do I want to see like get invited to a state dinner great question

think about it

like Elon has he been I'm sure they've I'm sure they've met yeah but has he been like an official I thought they're gonna be like Luke Combs you know Luke Combs yes

I would love to see see Nicole Combs.

100%.

That's what I'm waiting for.

And then he can perform for all of them.

And that's what they need.

Yeah.

They like to drink beer.

Like, it seems like, you know, similar vibes.

Yeah.

Because they're like really into like pints, you know, in Britain.

Pints and pints.

Yeah.

And then

pints never broke my something.

Pints never broke my heart.

That's beautiful, Olivia.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Yeah, no, that I would, I'm here for King Charles ex Luke Hombs.

100%.

Put it on my 2024 vision board.

Okay.

Do you have a bit, do you do those things?

Yeah.

I just, I needed to make sure I was

I don't have a vision board.

I have a planner.

And I feel like that's like in the beginning of your planner, do you write, here are all my goals for 2024 and then look at look back at them and say, wow, look how much I didn't do.

No.

Okay.

And honestly, like.

I'm the type of person who I like, I'm the opposite of a manifestor because I feel like if you speak it, like it doesn't happen yeah yeah yeah I totally agree with that so it would be interesting to see what my goals are but I don't have like such actionable goals like that yeah you just like want to live your life my goals are vibes you know totally got the energy it's about the exchange of energy

do you have a planner no you have a google calendar my okay it works but my google calendar on my phone and my computer are never synced oh that's a you problem i think it's a tech problem.

Also a you problem.

It's the tech.

Fix your tech.

No, but like the tech should fix itself, honestly.

Like, what else are they doing?

You know?

Sure.

They're so busy in your business.

Okay, sync up my calendars then.

You want my business to do it?

How many calendars do you have?

Just like I just use my calendar on my phone.

And sometimes, like when I'm on my phone, I need to make a note of like an event.

I put it on my phone.

And then when my, on my computer.

calendar, it's not doing it wrong.

I know what you're doing.

You're not like coding it to the right email.

No, exactly.

I'm not coding it.

Yeah, because I'm not sure.

No, no, not by that.

I mean like encoding.

Like there's another area there where it says calendar and you need to click that and put it to the like your email.

I'll show you.

I'll show you.

Okay.

Or I just get a physical planner where I write down everything.

I know, but like you're, you're doing that as art.

You're not doing that for like legitimate scheduling.

No, legitimate scheduling.

I need to be able to see my week.

Okay.

How's your week looking?

Busy?

Busy.

It's a busy time of year.

Yeah, it is.

I'm busy till the end of the year.

Really, like every day I have like multiple things.

I know.

And the weekends.

Outside of work obligations.

Yeah.

No, I know.

And then the weekends, yeah.

Everyone's just like having a birthday.

But it's nice.

It's nice like the how this year, like this time of year gets so booked and busy.

But then like what's going to happen in January?

It's depressing.

Really?

No.

I feel like there's still stuff in January.

There's always stuff.

I feel like March is depressing.

That's the month of depression.

No, because then it like becomes like spring breaky Passover.

I don't know when Passover is this year, but like then it's that vibe.

There's always something going on.

Yeah.

well

Basically, it's a digital frame.

You send it to whomever and then you can, or they, but it's fun when you program what pictures are going to populate in the frame.

You could pick one amazing photo.

You could switch it out as often as you want.

You could do something new every day.

You could even send, like, if your loved one lives across the country, you could send a new photo every day of your kid or your dog.

And like they get to kind of

keep up with them through the skylight frame.

It's like a physical.

embodiment of them, not just looking at everything on your phone, which is so, so nice.

So it's great to gift to family and friends with young children or a new baby.

Great for a grandparent, a sibling.

I know Claudia loves hers and I love mine.

She's always sending me new pictures of Dew.

I'm always sending her new pictures of the boys.

It's so, so beautiful.

And obviously, finding the perfect gift for family members can be very, very hard.

And Skylight Frame is just like a gorgeous, wonderful gift for an in-law.

Anyone, I could wax.

I could go on and on about.

I can't think of a person who would be a bad recipient of the Skylight Frame.

No, also a lot of moms use the Skylight Frame as a shared Google calendar on their kitchen counter.

Like, so that way the calendar comes up and then you can see like all the activities of the week.

Someone was literally just talking to me about Skylight last week at a breakfast that I was at of how it like changed their life.

Mom hack.

Mom hack.

Okay, next story.

Um, two names didn't expect to see in the same sentence this weekend, but Dave Portnoy is denying seeing Raquel Levis in Illinois despite rumors.

So there was a rumor going around that Dave Portnoy and Rachel Raquel Levis from the Interpump Rolls were spotted in the same small town in Illinois on the same day, just before his ex-girlfriend hinted at her split from Dave.

So two things.

One, Dave and his girlfriend broke up.

His ex announced it this weekend.

And then it was rumored that he was spotted with Raquel,

which prompted Dave to post a really mean, nasty statement about her saying, quote, I can confirm I'd never met that trash bag in my life.

And it's wildly insulting to even be mentioned in the same sentence as her.

Obviously very mean, but can I tell you what my problem with the story is?

So Dave and Rachel, again, I don't watch Baby Pump Rolls.

That's her name.

Yeah.

Well, her name was right.

It's confusing, but I think now she like chooses to go by Rachel.

So apparently they were spotted in the same town in Illinois a month ago.

And like no one decided to write anything then.

Do you know what I mean?

So like there seems like they were making a story up once like Dave's.

now ex-girlfriend said that they broke up.

Do you know what I mean?

Like why a month ago wasn't it like, oh, Dave and this girl spotted in the same do you know what I mean?

Yeah, that is interesting though.

It's kind of like a small town.

They say they don't get a lot lot of celebrities and they were both there on the same day, but I don't think that means that they were hooking up.

He said that he was there to review Uncle Jerry's pizza company.

And I believe that, honestly, because that's what he does.

And he said it was spectacular, got 8.3.

She was at a coffee place and stopped to take some selfies.

I don't know what she's doing there.

She doesn't really give, she's not super like.

Forthcoming.

She's not really on social media anymore.

Yeah.

As far as I've seen.

You know, it was definitely really mean.

But the one thing I will say that I do appreciate about Dave is like, if there is somebody asking for a comment from him like not only is he gonna make the comment he's gonna show you the exact comment he made and make make the whole thing even bigger because of his comment right right yeah

well okay so they're not together I didn't think that they were.

I didn't think that this didn't make sense.

It just doesn't make sense.

One plus one equals saw.

I actually liked Dave with his girlfriend.

I know.

I think people are upset that they broke up.

Yeah.

I don't like know them or anything about them.

But like they seem to like be happy together.

Yeah.

And they were together for a while and he's kind of been,

you know, she tamed him in this and she stood by him like when he was going through it yeah yeah

so who knows what happened there i think that was also people trying to like make sense of the two of them splitting up being like oh it's because he cheated on her with rachel right

which is obviously not i don't think so yeah so yeah just wanted to i hope that y'all as i always say find your happiness yeah

Our fifth and final story is some interesting shipping news that I think people should know.

UPS.

UPS and FedEx are no longer the largest delivery companies in the U.S.

Both UPS and FedEx have been eclipsed as the largest courier companies in the U.S.

by Amazon, which delivered more packages to U.S.

homes in recent years than both delivery giants.

Amazon surpassed UPS in parcel volume in 2022.

That's weird to say it like that.

Because we say 2022.

It sounds fine to me.

2022?

Yeah, and we're in 2023.

Yeah, I guess.

I don't know.

I was just like...

It was feeling off the table.

I was reading on Autopilot.

It just sounded weird.

Anyways, Amazon's bigger than UPS and FedEx.

That's the T.

That's crazy.

Yeah.

So like Jeff Bezos is bigger.

Because Amazon is also only delivering stuff from Amazon.

Of course.

So and like UPS and FedEx are delivering from like everywhere else in the planet.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So Jeff Bezos is a shipping magnate.

Yeah.

That's why Amazon just has like such a chokehold on everyone and everything, you know?

I mean, the thing is, like, I know everyone likes to rail on Amazon.

And sometimes I go out of my way to like not get something on Amazon or even found with kids' clothes.

Like, I don't love the quality from Amazon.

Of course, it would be easiest to buy from Amazon.

So I shop, you know, little mom and pop, this and that.

Takes forever.

I ordered new pajamas for the boys two weeks ago and they're still not here.

If I got them from Amazon, they would have been here.

I mean, I'm glad that I didn't because like, like I said, the quality is not great.

But like, it makes you appreciate Amazon.

Yeah, but sometimes you need stuff that the quality is not great.

And that's what Amazon is perfect for.

And Amazon's perfect for everything kitchen every but like i'm so accustomed i need something i get it the next day or two days later like waiting two weeks for a package now is like unheard what i know i know and then they're giving it to amazon they're giving because i'm like actually i love this one place so much i will continue to wait um but it's with all kids clothes like not to go out a million brands but like every time i

buy it takes so long i know you got to shop on this that's unless i shop from um

like big box

or like a nordstrom or something.

H ⁇ M, Gap, those ones.

H ⁇ M takes forever.

They came in a few days.

It's still it's not Amazon.

Yeah.

But where I ordered their PJs from, it's going on two weeks.

I placed an order on H ⁇ M.

Charlie's a new size now.

A little while ago, literally.

And they were like, sorry that your order is delayed.

Like, here's 15% off your next order.

It was two weeks late.

And also half the order wasn't mine.

Where was that from?

From H ⁇ M.

Oh.

Yikes.

Yeah, it was big yikes.

And like, I appreciated that they knew it was delayed and they gave me 15% off, but I call them.

I'm like I don't know how to return this because like I don't have a return for it So it's just going back to you.

And that's the thing returns.

Returns is no.

No, thank you.

Yeah, and Amazon does make returns so easy.

Yeah, they do, but I still don't, I'll figure out a way to use it implemented in my life before I return.

Unless it's like a really big purchase that like I bought knowing I might have to return it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Or like the size is really wrong.

But I hate returning.

I mean, I hate returning to it.

You know who makes returns the easiest revolve.

Oh, do they?

Oh my gosh, the easiest.

Yeah.

that's so great yeah and that's why they have a successful business yeah take a page yeah yeah but you know i think they're one of those ones that it's like if you return more than you buy like if you become oh you blacklisted no not blacklisted but like you you don't have those same privileges anymore like if you become more honestly cost appreciate yeah no for sure like it's it's a nice perk they still let you buy it's a nice perk don't take advantage somebody we knew got in trouble with amazon for doing that yeah Yeah, he did.

Do people know that story?

No, I don't think so.

Okay.

Another Another day.

Another story for another day.

So those were the fast five stories.

I feel as though you needed to know them.

And I hope everyone had a great weekend.

It's kind of a little unhinged this episode.

More so than our usual.

More so than we're usually pretty by the book, but I agree.

It went a little off the rails, which I enjoy.

Me too.

I enjoyed myself very much here.

I enjoyed myself too.

Me too.

And it's a...

It's the greatest time of year, you guys.

So I don't know if you have realized that.

Like, let's acknowledge the space that we're in.

It's the holidays.

The lights are up.

The vibes are vibing.

The cheermeister is here.

Let's enjoy.

Yeah.

I love this time of year.

Yeah.

It's my favorite.

It's really wonderful.

So enjoy it.

How many people listen to this podcast and not follow you?

I think that most of the people who listen to the podcast follow me, but I don't know.

I feel like maybe they just listen as a, they enjoyed like the podcast.

Maybe they don't follow that many like influencers on the day.

Yeah, that's fair.

100%.

You know, I feel like there are some shows where I follow the show and it's like, I don't follow the hosts necessarily.

Yeah, that's fair.

So let's change that for you if you're one of those people.

And have a wonderful, blessed day.

Bye.

Love you.

Bye.
