Episode Overview

In this fun, festive episode of The Nikki & Brie Show, sisters Nikki and Brie Garcia dive into the viral confusion around Nikki’s “Hallmark movie” appearance, share behind-the-scenes stories from that commercial, and play an unfiltered game about “unlikely crushes”—from animated characters to “weirdly hot” real-life professions. The conversation flows from holiday coziness and dating, to the power of sisterhood, the odd power of UPS drivers and flight attendants, and parental worries about social media’s effects on the next generation. The vibe is light, candid, and peppered with the duo’s signature humor and warmth.

[A]

It was written well, directed well. And then obviously Taylor's an insane actor.

[A]

But it's all NBCU talent.

[C]

Oh my gosh.

[A]

Amazing. So Don and I talked a lot.

[C]

About.

[A]

The traders and then. But Taylor, it was crazy because when I found out he was my love interest, I was like, oh gosh, you know when you just have this incredible actor who's also so good looking. And I was like, great. And you know, we had a kissing scene, but they ended up not going with the kiss. But so he technically is my first on screen kiss.

[C]

Oh.

[A]

And the best is when they, they were like, you know, we're gonna have you guys kiss. I was like, and it's just like a kiss. And they go, yeah, kiss. I go, oh. I mean like a peck. Like you just like, like that or like, how's the kiss? I was like, I got like so nervous. I was like, well, no, but how. Like you, it's like you almost forget how to do like kiss, right? You know what I mean? Even it was a quick little cute thing, but.

[C]

But that's awesome.

[A]

Brie. It was so fun.

[C]

It's really good.

[A]

I think we, we did that all in a day and.

It was. I loved it and I was so happy with how it came out, but I feel bad because everyone thinks I'm in a movie. And I know this dropped Thursday, but since we're recording this early, we obviously don't know anyone's reactions yet, which I can't wait to hear people's reactions of like, oh man, you know, whatever.

[C]

But I mean, I think people are still going to love it.

[A]

Oh, they're going to love it.

[C]

It's still fun to see you like that way. And.

[A]

Yeah. So cute, right?

[C]

So cute. Okay, Hallmark, come on.

[A]

Like, hello, your girl's here. This one's here. We can do it. It would be fun. After doing that, I was like, oh, I'd have a lot of fun. Even though I'll met when I was in wardrobe and like all the outfits I had to wear is like, this is so not me. Like turtlenecks and the jackets and. But you have to have like that Hallmark look. And I was like, this is not me.

[C]

Yeah. She's like, I like to show cleavage. Do you have the V neck sweater?

[A]

Everything was a turtlenec. But it was good and Christmas. I know.

[C]

And I love that vibe. Oh my gosh, I can't wait to see everyone's reaction. It's gonna be so good.

[A]

I know, huh? So good. I'm so excited. Thanks, sis. Good. It was a lot of fun. I'm happy you got to see it.

[C]

I know. Well, have them send me the video of the kiss too. I want to see that.

[A]

I know. I don't think I have it. But I mean, I could ask him. I know. I. No, I'm not gonna lie. I kind of want to see the kiss because I just want to see how I looked.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

You know, so for next time, if there is one, you know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

But I already sent to Brad. I was like, okay. I really want, like now I really want to do a movie. And he's like, all right, 2026 is on the goals list. So that's like good. I really want to. Because I had so much fun in Happy Gilmore too. And I wish everyone could have seen that character. I. You know, with all of our story lines getting cut out as bad guys. I wish they can do like. Oh, sorry too. I know.

Another release of it where they add in that whole storyline of.

[C]

All the bad guys.

[A]

Cuz it was all so funny. That was so different than this kind of character. But it's. I had a lot of fun as you know. You have so much fun doing it too.

[C]

Oh, it's great. It's like adult playtime. Which is so nice.

[A]

Right?

[C]

You know when you get to do the fun stuff, not the serious stuff.

[A]

Right. Like this was so fun. Well, we were dying laughing because so how I had to like pop off like when we bump into each other and I have to like kind of squeeze the cup so it could spray him. But so the first time we did it, it ended up on my face and he's like doing his lines and I'm like still trying to talk and it's just dripping off my face. So I hit it on me when I sit on him. And then there was another time where I'm like we bump. And I'm like squeezed it like really hard after because the cap wouldn't come out. So it like went straight through this part and like just squirted him like.

[C]

It was like oh my gosh.

[A]

Yeah, we had to do it quite a bit. It was funny. It was fun. I loved the experience.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean for someone like you who.

[C]

Because the holidays, I always feel like everyone wants to be coupled up cuz it's. You know what I mean? It's kind of that time of year where it's like all the different things going on. Cozy, romantic, In a way. Does it make you wish like you were dating someone?

[A]

I mean, yeah, I guess, kinda.

[C]

Well, yeah, I don't know. I guess you have.

[A]

By the way, someone put a comment under one of my posts, my Bell army appreciation post. And they go, I wonder how many fans she banged this weekend. And someone goes, excuse me. He goes, well, didn't you hear one episode of what she Hopes for being? I go, so I had to chime in. I go, you definitely misunderstood that episode of the Nick and Brie show because remember I said, we both said, like, okay, I'm not gonna. I want like I have to be in like something with someone not random.

[C]

Yeah, well, people take things how they want to take.

[A]

Geez Louise. And by the way, still haven't. Yeah, anyways, but you know what I mean.

[C]

When I didn't go to RAW after Survivor Series and I came straight home from San Diego and it was, you know, Artem's time to have Mateo and that's why I opened up the Tin man to have some wine and was just me with the fireplace and I put on a Christmas movie. But I was sitting here, I was like, oh, I would just love to be like cuddling with someone right on the couch, having this glass of wine, making out. Like I miss like make out sessions or just, I miss like someone just like grabbing me but being comfortable. Do you know what I mean? Like I want to get like a little butt grab or like, you know what I mean?

You're not hearing me out from the table. But he would, like, you know, we know that. Like, if the spell was undone or something. Like, oh, no, he still looked the same. But anyways. Okay. You could close your eyes when it comes to intimacy. Or I would just turn into Princess Fiona and be like. Just have me look like him. Like, it's cool. But, like, he had such a big heart and the animals couldn't help but love him. But he was really strong and masculine, and he just was like. There was just something about him, you know?

There's a lot of sexiness there.

[C]

I don't know about sexiness, but, yeah, there's a lot of good qualities.

[A]

Amazing qualities.

[C]

You're looking for a husband. Yeah.

[A]

Marriage material, 100.

[C]

But I'm not looking for a husband because I already have one. So I gotta think of a hot animated man.

[A]

You'd risk it all for that?

[C]

I'd risk it all for.

Slim Pickens.

[A]

I feel like, yeah. When it comes to animation, for sure. Slim. You know what I mean? Because I'm sorry, After being at Disneyland and seeing the princes, the prince, it's gonna sound weird. All the prints, you saw them in.

[C]

Human form and I was talking about animation.

[A]

Yeah. I'm like, guy's wearing a wig.

[C]

Don't spoil it for children.

[A]

Okay.

[C]

But, yeah, that was hard to watch.

[A]

Yeah, it was like, that's not hot at all.

[C]

I'm trying to think of, like, anything recently my kids have watched. Come on. Or, I mean, I don't know.

[A]

There's not one you could think.

[C]

I mean, so when I'm going, actually.

[A]

Simba from the Lion King.

[C]

Oh, Simba. Like, I'm into animals or some weird things, but, like, just risk it all for Simba. No. How about, oh, and he gets killed.

[A]

And then I'm left But you can then save them.

[C]

No, I will tell you. I would risk it all. Like, you know what?

[A]

Actually, I would risk it all for Mufasa, because then I would be queen of the jungle, and I would take on Scarface and be like, boom, you killed my man.

[C]

Actually, it wasn't the jungle. It was the Africans desert.

[A]

Or I would be the queen of all that.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

So of the food chain.

[C]

I kind of feel like, circle of life. I'm gonna go back to our cartoon days.

[A]

Okay, so Mickey.

[C]

No, but Superman, I watched and cartoon Batman I saw in cartoon form.

[A]

Well, I mean, I would risk it all for Batman in a heartbeat.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

I'm Batman's hot as.

[C]

Yeah. And in cartoon form. I thought he was hot, too. Still had a strong jaw, actually.

[A]

Hilarious. Okay, well, then I would for sure risk it all for a Batman.

[C]

Me, too.

[A]

Like, yeah, yeah.

[C]

Like nowadays, like, when I think about how they make. They make all the women look hot. But, like, when I'm thinking some of the guys, I'm like, so hear me out. I'm gonna take it back to the 90s when we watched cartoons on Saturday. Why don't act like we're in therapy and you're like, you're trying to tell me why I would choose Batman? Because he has a nice jawline. He drives a badass car. He lives in a cave, has a butler, and boo. Thing would have to do anything I'm protecting.

[A]

Okay, well, we're gonna have to. And then he's fight for Batman, and then he's mysterious. Okay, Well, I would 1000% risk it all and panty drop for Batman.

[C]

90S. Like, we have to go back to the cart. Well, obviously, Saturday cartoons.

[A]

Yeah. Okay.

[C]

And who knows? I'd probably watch that now and be.

[A]

Like, fictional villains or anti heroes.

[C]

Oh, I mean, this. Okay, so hear me out. And I think it's because I loved Heath Ledger so much. That was, like, one of my big celebrity crushes. But for sure, the Joker. Because there's something about him that it's wacky and a little strange. But I also feel like there's a part. I feel bad for him and, like, I could fix him. Like, I want to fix him, but it has to be Heath Ledger villain.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Okay. Joker. Not. Not Joaquin Phoenix. Heath Ledger.

[A]

Yeah, Joker. Okay, that. That.

[C]

That's. I would.

[A]

You know, you'd risk everything.

[C]

I get that.

[A]

For me, it would be Ragnar Lothbrok from the Vikings, but it has to be. Oh, gosh, Travis Fimmel when he. Yes. Played Ragna. I'D do anything.

[C]

So I might actually hear me.

[A]

All for him, too. So hear me out. Badass.

[C]

No, everything.

[A]

Insanely hot. Good looking, handsome.

[C]

For some reason, when I watched, he wasn't the villain to me.

[A]

Right. But in the end, I mean, he is in a lot of ways. Right. But I agree. I was like, I think you're a superhero, but you might be the antihero, but everything about you I'm obsessed with.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

How he led.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, those sex scenes, I had dreams about it and if you know what I mean.

[C]

I do.

[A]

He, I think, is one of the hottest human beings ever. I don't know where he's at now or what he's doing now.

[C]

He's selling his beer in, like, Australia.

[A]

Oh, really? I mean, I'll drink the beer. Whatever you think.

[C]

He's been selling it for years.

[A]

So is he single? You think we should look?

[C]

Yeah, we'll stalk his Instagram.

[A]

But yeah. That man. My goodness, that character. It's so funny. We all end up being, like, the same, but ragna. I mean, that's serious. When he died, I was so mad. But it's how it happened in real life.

[C]

But I know.

[A]

Yeah.

Yep.

[C]

All right, so celebrities who give dad energy. But you'd still date. I feel like there's a lot. Like, I actually feel like more the dad energy ones are, like, more my vibe.

[A]

Oh, like who?

[C]

I don't know.

[A]

Like, if you're gonna say what's his name?

[C]

No, you always say, I know because it's, like, my go to. No, I would. I actually feel like I'm trying to think.

[A]

Well, mine used to be Brad Pitt, but I don't know now. But, like, you know, when him and Angelina were, like, great, and how Brad would be with the kids, I was like, damn, I'd risk it all for that.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I mean, you know, I had Brad Pitt Legends of the Fall poster, like, middle school on my wall.

[C]

Yeah, but Legends of the Fall was not dad energy, Brad.

[A]

That was hot energy, bro.

[C]

Yeah. That was young. Just made it Brad.

[A]

I mean, he made me feel things at a young age. Him. Anthony Kiedis. Slash. But. But Brad. I mean, Fight Club. All the things, but even.

[C]

Oh, Fight Club.

[A]

Yeah. No, I know.

[C]

Who. Who?

[A]

Chris Hemsworth.

[C]

Dad energy.

[A]

How he is with his kids.

[C]

It's so hot.

[A]

Geez.

[C]

I know. And also, the one I used to like a lot, too. I thought he had good dad energy. Was the guy who did Ted Lasso.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

Why can't I think of Jason Bateman? No, but He's a good one too. Yeah. Jason Bateman. But I thought he's a different Jason.

[A]

You know who else I will say? Dwayne Johnson. Yeah, I mean those videos he has with his like little girls and how he is then. He's still so manly and handsome for sure him. But the ultimate risk it all for. And I mean, I think it'd be like Chris Hemsworth.

Maybe David Beckham too. David Beckham. So hear me out. Do I even need to say anything for that? Right.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So it would be your ultimate.

[C]

I don't know, actually.

[A]

Okay.

Jason Mamoa.

[C]

No, no. I don't know.

[A]

One of the comedians.

[C]

One of the comedians that it would have to be someone.

[A]

Kevin Hart Laugh.

[C]

No, like a actor. Comedian. I'm. I feel like I'm thinking of someone, but I don't know their name.

[A]

Price. Someone from snl? No, Adam Sandler actually is a really good one.

[C]

Oh, that's actually. That's actually a great one because he.

[A]

Loves his family hard and like then is so cool. Vibes like, doesn't care, like he's super hot.

[C]

That'd be mine.

[A]

Yeah. Adam Sandler's actually.

[C]

Yeah. I need someone to like. I like the laughing when I see dad energy. You're a good dad and you make me laugh. It's what I need.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

To risk it all.

[A]

To risk it all. But then you need good sex too. Okay, you do the next and remember how to start it. Okay.

[C]

Okay, Nikki, so the snow is here, the cold weather, and I think it's time that we start looking to go somewhere a little warm, maybe a little tropical. White sand, beautiful beaches. What do you think?

[A]

I agree. My body is not only craving a bikini, but desperately needs some vitamin D.

[C]

And maybe a Mai Tai on top of that. I say we go on Airbnb, start to put in all the things that we want out of a location, out of a house and see where it ends us, where it puts us.

[A]

And you know what, Bri? After all these months, we've all been spending a lot of money, whether it's on gifts, holidays, food, travel. So let's now make some money. It's time we earn that money back. So I don't know if you all know, but you can host your home on Airbnb, which obviously is the smartest way to make a little extra income, right? Oh, yeah. Or a lot. It depends.

[C]

I mean, that's right, Nikki. You can put it towards future travel, home improvement, or that fun splurge item you've been eyeing.

[A]

I love that and, you know, finding a little piece of home while you travel always makes a trip special. Your home could be that for someone else.

[C]

Your home might be worth more than you think.

[A]

Find out how [e-mail] host Nikki Life.

[C]

Can get really busy.

[A]

Really busy. I mean, I would say it's been busy for all of us.

[C]

I know. And sometimes we just need to take a breather, sit down, and ask ourselves one very important question.

[A]

What's that? Brie.

[C]

Have you had your Hershey's?

[A]

I sure have had my Hershey's Brie. And you know what? When you need to brighten up your day or even put a smile on your face, grab the classic creamy texture and pure milk chocolate flavor of Hershey's milk chocolate.

[C]

Whether you're eating it on the go, breaking off a few pieces for s' mores night, or treating yourself to something sweet, Hershey's milk chocolate checks all the boxes.

[A]

It sure does. You want to know what one of my favorite moments with Hershey's chocolate is? Teo. And I like, I love it because you know me, I'm chocolate lover. But now I have a son who's a chocolate lover. So we split bars all the time. It's just such a moment for us, a very happy moment. We look at each other, he always ends up getting chocolate all over his face. But it's just such a sweet moment that I find myself always reaching for a Hershey bar.

[C]

Always. I mean, we love making s' mores in my family. So every time I bust out a Hershey bar, my kids start screaming with excitement because they know it's about to be s' more time. So for all of you, shop for Hershey's milk chocolate now at a store.

[A]

Near you found wherever candy is sold.

Okay.

[C]

Random professions that are weirdly hot. So, you know, like a ups.

[A]

I got it. I got it.

[C]

Interesting.

[A]

I mean.

You know me. Okay, so hear me out. I would always have dreams about the UPS drivers. Remember, I had, like, used to have those fantasies.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So I definitely think, like, UPS driver would be, like, top of my list. I think the outfit's super hot. How they drive the big truck, especially if they're, like, blasting cool music.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

How they handle the packages, they're just like, they have, like, total, like, strong boss energy. Like, like, you know, they got, like, their together type of stuff for sure. But, like, that they would, like, manhandle you. Because they like manhandle boxes.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, I feel like mine is.

What I used to be drawn to but for some reason, it's weirdly hot to me. But bartenders, I don't think that's weirdly hot.

[A]

I think bartenders are known to be hot. Really?

[C]

Are you joking? For sure.

[A]

Bartenders are known to be hot.

[C]

Okay? So I have to think.

[A]

So take a weirder. Take no bartenders, no ranchers, no cowboys. They're all known to be hot.

[C]

Okay? But those, like.

[A]

Those are, like, for me, when I've been on set, there's two that I have found weirdly hot. One, sound guys. Sound guys are like, for sure. Her or light guys.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

A few of the sets I've been on, I'm like, oh, yeah, production guys are hot.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Yeah, for sure. And you wouldn't think it. And then.

Also, when I've been on set, some of the catering guys have, like, cool, badass vibes. And, you know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And you wouldn't think it. You would think, like, it'd be like, old ladies working back there. And then all of a sudden, like, a dude with tats walks out, like, owning this, and you're like, damn, he's hot.

[C]

Yeah. I'm trying to think, like, if I. The last time I saw, like, I was like, oh, the guy's hot. And, like, he's doing this.

[A]

I'm trying to think, dang, you said.

[C]

This, like, well, like, as if, like, you know, it's a weird profession.

But I haven't seen that in a while, so.

[A]

Oh, yeah. I mean, I.

[C]

That's what I mean.

[A]

Oh, I. Oh, I see what you're saying.

[C]

Like, I'm trying to think, like, when I saw that, but I was like, yeah. I don't know.

[A]

I don't think so, but.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

So have you.

[C]

Did you.

[A]

I actually. Did you see this reel that went viral of the super hot. I think I sent it to you. The super hot flight attendant. Attendant, yeah. That guy was crazy hot, for sure. How he was, like, too shutting the.

[C]

Yeah. Bins, like, slamming him like he was gonna break him.

[A]

I mean, he looked like a GQ model. Like, I know. He had the salt and pepper hair.

[C]

I had to go to comments because I'm like, is this AI?

[A]

Like, no. And it was.

[C]

I've never seen a flight attendant like that.

[A]

The. How that one you could tell wasn't AI is because how she was zooming in, like. And you can kind of hear, like, you could tell it was someone like. Yeah. But I was like, damn, he looked good.

[C]

I know. Super hot.

[A]

I wish. I'm like, where's he? On my flight, Right? Yeah.

[C]

So there you go.

Production guys, flight attendants.

[A]

A lot of hot pilots. I'll say.

[C]

I haven't seen one in a while.

[A]

I've seen two, and I was like. Gave a double take. Like, oh.

[C]

Oh, really?

[A]

Oh, yeah. All right, all right, all right. Okay, next cartooner. Mascot crushes you're ashamed to admit you know you got a crush on Swoop.

[C]

Love me some Swoop. But would not risk at all for Swoop.

You know, nothing comes to mind.

[A]

Yeah, no mascots come to mind. No.

Spongebob, Pikachu?

[C]

Not even a mascot. They all seem dorky. Like, when I look at them. Wow. Like, as in, like, when I'm at games. And they're always, like, doing weird things, like, which is good. And they make you giggle. But not, like, risk it all for the giggle.

[A]

Yeah. And I wouldn't risk it for Santa, either.

I don't know. I don't think there's anyone I'd actually like like that. I don't know. Yeah, no one really comes to mind.

[C]

Oh, Popeye the sailor man.

[A]

But he's a cart. Oh, yeah. I mean, no, I don't like Popeye. I mean, I like Popeye, but he hasn't turned me on.

Maybe when I was young, I might have said the Tasmanian Devil.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Bugs Bunny.

[A]

Ew. I don't know why.

[C]

Made me feel weird saying it.

[A]

Yeah, that made me feel weird, too.

[C]

All right, last one. Real life shouldn't be hot. But scenarios. For example, the barista who spells your name wrong every morning. The local weatherman. A dad at school. Pickup and Crocs. Or your dentist, because eye contact and a mask are confusing.

I felt like you. There was a doctor you found, like, really hot. Like, weirdly hot.

[A]

Yeah, there are some.

[C]

And you're smirking because I'm right. I won't say who, but I don't know. See, this is another one. I'm like, I need to venture out more.

[A]

You do need to venture out more.

[C]

I mean, I go to kind of the same spots.

[A]

Yeah. But I think first. I mean, obviously doctors. Yeah. I've been in those situations. And I'm like, oh, he's hot.

[C]

And then when you're out of those situations for a while, you're like, actually, not really. Like, it was just.

[A]

No still things. Hot. Oh.

Yeah. Well, because, like, there's so much more than just immediate, like, good looks to someone. There's energy, there's vibes. There's all the things. You know what I mean?

[C]

But.

[A]

Beyond that, I'm trying to think. I feel like Maybe like through wine tastings and stuff, like the host.

[C]

Oh, yeah. Oh, you remember that one time our driver who we were doing wine day smoke was like, weird.

[A]

Oh, yeah, totally.

[C]

I do. But then that turned weird. Drop the hot.

[A]

You're right.

[C]

Weirdly hot all day. Then got weird.

[A]

Yeah, very. It's like, what you drinking?

[C]

No, he was waiting for us to have all our drinks, let's be honest. But yeah, like, his whole vibe and energy was super cool. And not. But so I remember that. Would not risk it all for the weirdly hot driver.

[A]

No, none of them.

[C]

But yeah, that was a whole interesting.

[A]

Do you ever find it weirdly hot, the guy that always messes up your drink?

[C]

Just kidding.

[A]

No, I know.

[C]

Weirdly annoying. Like, I'm gonna tell them I'm gonna become the Grinch. I like, if I have to tell you again, the best is lesson.

[A]

When you're just staring, you're like, oh, my God, I just saw him do it wrong. And I go, almond milk.

[C]

I kind of yelled almond. Or I just yelled almond because I saw the whole milk going in.

[A]

Oh, my God. I was like, crying because I'm like.

[C]

And then it's like, yeah. I'm like, don't get pissed at me. I have to. I said almond at checkout.

[A]

Honestly.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

Yeah, that guy.

[C]

I'm about to Grinch him this season.

No, I.

I don't know, girl. That's an interesting one. Yeah, I need to. Now I'm gonna be very aware.

[A]

And I think, though, some of, like, the professions that where they get, like, weirdly hot is like, when you're on tours and like, whoever your tour guide is, and I think it's because they have control situation and they're so informative that sometimes they get really hot.

[C]

Well, you know what's interesting? What I'm just sitting here thinking is I have a female doctor. Like, a lot of my people I go to are all females.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Like, it's. I actually am, like, besides my personal trainer.

But, like, everyone else is female. Yeah. So I guess it's like maybe that I'm not interacting with males as much much.

[A]

Totally.

[C]

So I don't know.

[A]

But don't you think.

[C]

I mean, I've definitely had a weirdly hot masseuse. I mean, this was like a decade ago. Remember the San Diego guy? Oh, yeah. And he, like, put his bandana. He went.

Barefooted and sweating. Like, remember, like, what?

[A]

I don't know about that. I mean, he was so into strong. The one. I know that one.

[C]

Oh, the Latin guy.

[A]

I don't know if I remember that.

[C]

One.

But I just.

[A]

I just had an amazing New York.

[C]

Oh, really?

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

So sometimes weirdly hot.

[A]

Actually big time.

[C]

Because.

[A]

Well, especially because how they massage you and touch you and all the things. Oh, yeah. Tour guides and masseuses.

[C]

There you go.

[A]

For sure. Are like the number ones of like, weirdly hot.

[C]

Yep.

[A]

I think those would be the toppers. I don't think any other profession would top it.

[C]

No.

[A]

Except animation.

[C]

Yeah. And animation. I'm just. Now I'm like, you know what people make animation. Can we make like, like good looking guy characters? Right. Because even when you look at like K pop Demon hunters, thinking of Shrek.

[A]

And Beast and like, and you think.

[C]

Of all, like, what the.

[A]

Wait, why are all the guys, like, you know, either, like women?

[C]

We have to, like, find it in our hearts to love them for who they are as they're like, looking at a princess. Or like someone with tits and tiny waist.

[A]

Yeah. Like the perfect hair and skin. Can we have it opposite?

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Princess Fiona has to like change into that.

[C]

Just kidding. But like, even Buzz Lightyear, like, I mean, that's.

[A]

Do they think it hot and weighty.

[C]

Shape, Head and Woody. But then you see who they're into. Yeah. What's her name? Little Bo Peep. Think of Little Bo Peep. And then also the redhead.

[A]

Oh, yeah.

[C]

So cute. Both of them. And they have to pick between Woody and Buzz Lightyear.

[A]

Yeah. Or animals.

[C]

Slinky Dog. Yeah. Like, oh, my gosh. Yeah.

[A]

The aliens.

[C]

Wow. Whatever they say, always good. Wasn't it good?

[A]

That was good.

Yeah.

[C]

Actually, I can go through the list.

[A]

And after looking at Prince Charming and all those guys in Disneyland, I'm like, that's not hot. But the little kids, I'm good for the little. No, obviously. I'm totally joking. Yeah, well, and I just love to like. Because they had to do like the big, like fake perfect wigs. So like their hair, like, almost looks fake. Like they almost look like Legos.

[C]

Ugh. Legos too. Gross me out.

[A]

Legos gross you out?

[C]

The movie. I can't watch it. Why? It's too much. It's over stimulating. All the characters look weird. It's. I don't know, there's something about it irks me.

[A]

Really?

[C]

Yeah. Irks me.

[A]

That's funny.

[C]

I know.

[A]

I mean, so funny. It is, I guess, a little weird, but Yeah. I mean, I didn't think square heads. Yeah. I mean, well, they're Legos.

[C]

I know. Don't like it.

[A]

That's funny.

[C]

I know.

[A]

[A]

And then we could come back here and report on it.

[C]

Like. Yeah.

[A]

Okay, you guys, this is what we found. We're that which in the comments, let us know what professions you think are weirdly hot or your experiences or run ins or even call us and let us know because I would love to know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Because right now, because obviously my partner, who I talk to all the time, is surrounded by females and doesn't have that much tea on it at all. That's so wild.

[C]

I know. And I feel like back in the day, everyone I'd go to was a male.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

Male doctor, male everything.

[A]

And now this is what I've realized in like our professions or when you do things, when you spend like a full day with People or someone. Like, I feel like there's something weirdly hot you find with that person you spend a lot of time with.

[C]

Yes, that will be weirdly annoying because you're.

[A]

Exactly.

[C]

It could go either way.

[A]

It could go either way, but it's just because you're having to sit there and connect.

[C]

Right. And.

[A]

Which shows you the strength of human.

[C]

Connection, for sure, that kids are missing out on today. No, like, I will say this, actually, you know, it'd be really fun, really quick to go over some things that we have seen as of late on Instagram and all the different media things.

[A]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[C]

But one thing I saw is that, you know, because kids are so digitally invested in everything.

[A]

Digitally?

[C]

Yeah. I mean, between their phones and watching all this stuff, they're saying that kids are going to get dementia in their 40s and, like, lifespans can be up to 50 years old in these younger generations.

[A]

This is what I've started to realize about Instagram. Everyone's a doctor, everyone's a fitness.

[C]

This was like scientists coming up, experts. It makes sense.

[A]

A scientist. I know, but I don't know what to believe anymore. I don't know if it. Is it a real site? Is it verified? Is it confirmed? This is what their research from.

[C]

Don't, Don't. This is my thing. It makes sense.

[A]

Well, I mean, that kind of stuff makes sense. Yes.

[C]

I mean, there's.

[A]

But I feel like you.

[C]

I mean, your kid really has to.

[A]

Be watching that a lot.

[C]

I mean, even something that made. And this is verified by Wealth News, and I think this is so interesting. Oxford's 2025 word of the year. It's called Rage Bait. Rage bait. Do you know what rage bait is and what it.

[A]

What is the meaning of their word of the year? Like a word that was used the most or a word that. Like what. What is that? What does that mean?

[C]

Oxford's new Word of the year proves the Internet runs on outrage. And this is what it means.

It's a noun and online content deliberately designed to Eli Elect, or I would think, elicit. Elicit. There you go. Anger or outrage by being frustrating, prerogative or offensive.

[A]

Well, I know what rage bait means. I'm just. So it's the word of the year because the usage of the phrase has roughly tripled in the last year, which just shows how much attention still flows to outrage, drama and polarizing takes, which is sad. And so that's why when people want to come at me for what I do, I'm just going to go rage bait somewhere else.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Bye. Bye. Because everyone just wants to rage now.

[C]

Yeah. I mean, it's wild. Yeah.

[A]

So I'll stay my positive bubble and that's that.

[C]

And one thing I'm going to say before we get into inspiration affirmation, that I really love what Australia did. I know they put an age limit, so you have to be 16 and older to have social media. And there's this pro skater I follow after I hosted the X Games, Chloe Covell. And I was like, I saw her IG story and she. This is what she wrote. Hi, everyone. I just wanted to let you all know that due to the new Australian government social media laws about to kick in, I have no choice but to deactivate my Instagram account in the next 24 hours until I turn 16 in February 2026. Failure to do so, I risk losing you all that have followed and supported me and from the beginning. See you all soon. You know what, I'd love to ask Chloe, like, now I, you know, I know she's 15, but, like, did you feel so much freedom that you're like, you had to deactivate, like, how great.

[A]

How amazing and like, I wish we would do that.

[C]

I know she's a pro skater and she does a lot of big events, so you're gonna see her on, like, it's not like you're not gonna see her. I mean, she competes all the time.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

But I was like, how awesome. Like, it is so important for these, this youth to, for me at least, I think their mental health. But also, like, go out and talk.

[A]

To people and you can't phones away.

[C]

Like, go talk. Yeah.

[A]

And you can't just throw it all on the parents. Like, no freedom of this. Just have the parents do it. No, because what happens is majority of parents let their kids have social media and then the few that try to stay strong, they get bullied for not having social media. They make it really hard on the parents and then their relationship with the kids. So it's better to just make it a law and be like, yeah, you can't have it till 16.

[C]

And the kids are gonna cry about it for a week and then they're gonna realize how much they loving and.

[A]

They'Re all gonna improves in that. In camps and stuff.

[B]

Yep.

[C]

And they're gonna thrive.

[A]

Yeah. And before you get in your inspiration affirmation, also, you heard about Game of Thrones, right?

[C]

Oh, it's coming back.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

I'm so excited.

[A]

I know.

[C]

Are they already filming?

[A]

They Better be make that an announcement. Don't make us wait two years.

[C]

No, you never know, though.

[A]

That's true. So, I mean, hey, we win because we get Jon Snow back on our screens.

[C]

Jon Snow.

[A]

Jon Snow. It will be hard, though, not to see Khaleesi. But she could come back from the dead technically, right?

[C]

No. Oh, I just think you gotta. You just. You know, we were used to it with Game and Throat Thrones. Big characters always getting. I know.

[A]

I really liked her, but Jon Snow. We got Jon Snow.

[C]

Yeah. All right, so for today's inspiration affirmation, I had to pull it from the Alchemist, Paulo Kulo, who's one of my favorite authors. And if you have not read the Alchemist, it is a must read. One of the greatest books ever. I feel like that book is what got me into reading and made me realize, oh, I read wrong. Like, I always would lean more into self help books or like all these different ones, inspirational. The minute I read the Alchemist, I go, oh. I mean, does it have a, like, spiritual edge to it? Yes. But I'm like, I need good stories. And.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

It makes me like, never wanna. No, not like the Shack. That was so depressing and sad and I lost.

[A]

But it was like a story.

[C]

The saddest.

[A]

It was so sad.

[C]

No, especially because it's based on a true story.

[A]

Yeah, it was really sad.

[C]

No, not like that.

[A]

But I meant like, you know.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Goosebumps. Like fever. Swamp.

[C]

Dang, girl, I gotta get you some books. Okay, so here, here's the quote that I feel like is really beautiful. You will never be able to escape your heart, so it is better to listen to what it has to say.

And Paulo Kulo, to me, always wrote like, he writes like a poet. But you will never be able to escape your heart, so it is better to listen to what it has to say.

[A]

I love that you have it right.

[C]

I know. Don't you love that?

[A]

I do. It's so true, by the way.

[C]

So true.

[A]

I feel like listen to your heart just popped up in my head.

[C]

Who sings that again?

[A]

Some 80s band. What's her name?

[C]

It's called. That's not an 80s band. For sure. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, that's gonna bug me now.

[A]

But anyways, I do agree that.

You. Sometimes we feel like we're listening to our heart, but we're really listening to our mind.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

And our minds can play games on us so.

[C]

Well. And listen, it's easy to run from situations instead of just dealing with them.

[A]

Roxette.

[C]

Oh, yeah, that's right. But yeah, I thought that was really great, so.

[A]

I love it, sister.

[C]

I know, right?

[A]

I think that was great. Way to end on. Hear me out. Listen to your heart here. Just hear me out. Listen to your heart. It might be weird, but, yeah, you appreciate it. I've done it and it's gotten me here, so.

[C]

Oh, I don't know. I'm just kidding.
