I'm always so confused with, like, the, you know, suggested people, like, people's faces like, that are in your photos.

[Mariah]

A pretty good job with us, right?

[Heath]

But show me the people who I hang out with the most. Like, sometimes there's people who I have not seen in, like, six years, and their face is, like, right there at the beginning.

[Ethan]

It's so funny. There's, like, five different suggested, like, new person for myself from all my weight fluctuations.

Oh, no. Who's this? We don't recognize this man.

[Ethan]

So there's, like, five different ones of me.

[Heath]

Oh, boy.

[Mariah]

I do. I have, like, two different versions.

[Heath]

Really?

[Mariah]

Yeah. One with, like, a, like, big beard. Like, six years ago when I was, like, bigger and my big beard. And then the other one was, what after my transformation.

[Ethan]

It's just so funny now.

[Mariah]

They really. Which is scary, but kind of cool because I use it a lot. But when you're searching up for a certain picture now, you can be very specific where it's like, yes. Like, I took a trip to Austin. I was able to look up hamburger in Austin.

[Heath]

Ah.

[Mariah]

And it comes up.

[Heath]

Nice. You get the keyword and the location.

[Mariah]

Even imagery, too. So, like, I'll type in. In my phone. There was a tattoo that I, like, really wanted to go back to. I typed in tattoo it, pulled up every tattoo that I screenshotted without having the word tattoo in it. Amazing. Oh, it, like, takes your. It takes, like, someone's skin image over. It's.

Yeah.

That's crazy.

That's nice. But they didn't have to go on and, like, scramble everything, but they.

[Ethan]

But they can't stop people with CP on their phones.

[Heath]

Oh, right. Or I can't just, like, find out any accidental nudes I've taken just to clean those up. Like, show me my nudes. Hide those ones.

[Mariah]

Remove them.

[Ethan]

How often are you accidentally.

[Heath]

You know, I don't know. No, I don't take them, but I know there's probably some on my camera roll. Yeah. And I just would like to be able to identify and get that out of.

[Mariah]

So it doesn't pop up on your memories. One day.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Mariah]

Hey, sweetheart, can I look at your phone real quick?

[Ethan]

And it pops.

[Mariah]

I was two years ago. Flash.

[Heath]

Remember me?

[Ethan]

I hate those. Like, the. Where it tries to make a memory out of nothing in your camp. I'm like, right. I don't need you to put an album together of, like, one specific. Like, I'm like, oh yeah.

[Heath]

Then every time we've like recorded brand deals of like us just saying the same thing over and over, it'll make like a memory this week. Yeah.

[Ethan]

You must have really enjoyed doing this.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Why don't you take a look?

[Heath]

I'm all right.

[Mariah]

They do, they do that. So you put post it as opposed like the slideshow. The shitty slideshow that they make.

[Heath]

Make it better.

[Mariah]

Yeah, just edit a little better. Or give me the, give me the project file so I can put it together myself.

[Ethan]

All right. Okay. Is anybody. Please comment below if you're saving like the, the pre made albums that it's putting together. Like is, is anybody taking that?

[Heath]

Because I was on Facebook and stuff. We're like, oh my God, this is just the best little.

[Ethan]

And it doesn't just make that slideshow of it.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Mariah]

And it sucks that Apple can do whatever, whatever they want no matter how much we hate it. We're not going to switch over because.

We'Ll get used to it and they know we will.

[Heath]

The Google phones are great though.

[Mariah]

They are heat Tonight we go to Glendale. We go into that Samsung store all the time.

[Ethan]

So nice.

[Mariah]

The phones are sick and now with it, I just can't, I can't get past like that. You can't want to be able to like airdrop things to app or Apple to Apple.

[Heath]

But RCS messaging now like the green text and stuff. If the phone that you're on to, if you have an iPhone and you allow RCS messaging, green text don't come through. And anymore if someone has the Android.

[Mariah]

So for group chat, that's so embarrassing.

[Heath]

Yeah. But they both devices have to like say approve it.

[Ethan]

From my bachelor party we had one person in the group that was an Android and I was like, you got. I'll text you on the side like.

[Mariah]

In my head like as soon as it turns green. Oh, they got kidnapped.

Yeah, something's wrong.

Oh, they're dead. They're in a car under a car.

[Heath]

They are off the grid.

[Ethan]

Zane just called me like a few days ago freaking out. He's like, bro, you got to see this. And he had both of his, his.

[Heath]

Laptops side by side.

[Mariah]

I've never. He was so excited.

[Ethan]

Side by side where you drag.

[Mariah]

That's cool.

[Heath]

Yeah, yeah, like a dual screen kind of thing.

[Mariah]

I was on 2 laptops cuz I was editing on one and working on the other and I'm like, I, I like as I'm scrolling I go all the way to the side. I see my like something toggle over Here I'm like. And then I moved my mouse and it was on both screens. They're not connected. I didn't like go and place them together.

[Heath]

Oh, wait, that's weird.

[Mariah]

[Ethan]

[Heath]

Yeah. Cuz they don't mention Christmas in that at all. It's not a Christmas song. It was written for like a Thanksgiving time.

[Mariah]

No horse open sleigh.

[Heath]

Right, right. People got around on sleighs in the snow and stuff back then.

[Mariah]

But there was no turkeys in that. Like what. What's. What makes it Thanksgiving?

[Heath]

It was just when the song first hit this scene. It was not intended to be a Christmas song. It was a Thanksgiving song. But we're talking like 30s, 40s, 50s.

[Mariah]

No, I totally understand that. That's why. But.

[Heath]

And like. And also like Winter Wonderland, that song. There's nothing in about Christmas at all in that song. That's a big popular one. Frosty the Snowman is not really about Christmas too.

[Ethan]

Last Christmas I gave you my heart. That's not even a Christmas song.

[Mariah]

And then Drum Drummer boy.

[Ethan]

And then Luda comes out.

[Heath]

Mariah Carey's though. It's funny how that is, like, one of the biggest Christmas songs. But it's all about her, like, hating Christmas and not caring about it. She's like, I don't care about the presents underneath the, like, thing I don't want. That I want is you. It's like, can we not also enjoy this season?

[Mariah]

And it's funny. Like, that's the song that gets us in the spirit.

[Heath]

[Ethan]

Like, ironically, it's a. I. I really want to know what that. That Spotify check looks like, though. I want to know the number.

[Mariah]

You'll be surprised.

Like, it's a miracle.

[Heath]

It is. Is.

[Ethan]

Thank you, Bubba.

[Heath]

It is. I know.

[Mariah]

Think about like a lighthouse, you know, you see something so beautiful far away. Yeah.

[Heath]

But you had 30, 000ft just going beep, beep. Like, that is gonna clear up the night sky.

[Mariah]

That nose is strong.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

He guided that sleigh that night.

[Heath]

He sure did.

[Mariah]

Did he pull that by himself or was he the leader of the pack?

[Ethan]

I'm not really sure. Oh, speaking of leading the pack, I just found out something. You know how the, the alpha wolf they always put was, like, the leader, the one up front, like, you're the alpha.

[Heath]

Yes.

[Ethan]

Turns out the person that categorized and came up with the whole thing and, like, the terminology for, like, the head wolf and everything got it wrong and went to, like, change it after, like, doing his research and that the leader was actually the one in the back, like, the head. What would be the alpha wolf? He's actually the one one.

[Mariah]

Oh, why is that?

[Ethan]

He is.

[Heath]

They just want the puny guy to go up front. Like, yeah, you lead the pack. I got this.

[Mariah]

Because it's, like, more dangerous to be in the front. They want to get rid of making.

[Ethan]

Sure that everybody's in their place, doing the right thing. He's the last one making sure nobody got left behind. And it, it really is like the, the slowest one is up front.

[Heath]

Oh, they got.

[Ethan]

Because they would move at the same paces. What would be the slowest one in the group? And he, like, tried to come out and be like, no, it's not. I, I, I had it wrong. The Alpha is actually in the back.

[Heath]

I'm the alpha. I'm the leader of the pack.

[Mariah]

Oh, so maybe I am Alpha. I always let people go first.

[Ethan]

No, you're just, you're just dragging ass.

[Mariah]

You're just lazy.

Wait a second. I am Alpha. It's amazing.

[Ethan]

I thought that was really interesting.

[Heath]

Did you go talks? We went dog sledding together one time. Yeah, there wasn't like.

[Ethan]

That was.

[Heath]

We went dog sledding.

[Ethan]

One of the most incredible experiences of my life. You're in just that little sled thing wrapped up, and they're just zooming through a winter wonderland.

[Heath]

But I gotta say, it does smell like poop. Because some of those dogs, when they're.

[Ethan]

Running, they're just going, that's fine.

[Heath]

Like, to poop.

[Mariah]

Because by the time, in like, five seconds, you don't smell it anymore.

[Heath]

I know. It's just right behind you, and you're just leaving this skid bark behind yourself.

[Mariah]

Are they like, actual dogs?

[Heath]

Yeah, they're dogs and they are ready to go.

[Ethan]

And then there was a dog that would run alongside of us to keep the sled dogs in check and, like, focus.

[Heath]

Yeah, like, little shepherd dog. Wow.

[Mariah]

Do they have a good life?

[Ethan]

I think they really enjoy it. They seemed like they had a great time when we were doing it.

[Mariah]

I'd be pretty do they have like play time?

[Ethan]

Yeah, like we would like, we would like stop and then they'd all be like in line, like hanging out together.

[Mariah]

And then do they playtime indoors?

[Heath]

I don't know, like, I don't know like how individually like domesticated they are, but I think they are working. They are work dogs and they, I feel like they're more like living what their genetics are like made for is to be dogs, to be in a pack and be scavengers together working towards something. I think it's more.

[Mariah]

But you're right though. As long as they're being like rewarded, they get treated after work.

[Ethan]

Like they watch tv, they go inside.

[Mariah]

The fireplace in their blood. Like that's what they were born to do. But I just feel like they don't live that long. Just let them.

But like here, Maria, let's think about like, I would hate to see a dog just constantly running around eating my everywhere, but not like providing any service. No chores, no cleaning.

[Ethan]

They know they have a purpose.

[Mariah]

You know they have a purpose. They're getting work done. They are moving people from one destination to the other just like any other worker.

[Ethan]

A bus driver, bus driver, airline pilot.

[Heath]

Not as much pain as like, you know, carriage horses that are out like in the middle of New York City or dancing. That, that Carriage horses to me are.

[Ethan]

Like, I would never fog it around on concrete.

[Heath]

Yeah. And then they just go back to like a stable in the middle of Manhattan. It's just non stop with just like stimulation.

[Mariah]

I'm gonna get worked up.

[Ethan]

Before we continue, we want to give a big thank you to our sponsor of this podcast, Hers Weight loss solutions.

[Mariah]

We love you, Mariah. My neck is. Is it screwed?

[Ethan]

I'm getting more sore the more days I should that go by since the dance video.

[Mariah]

So what I was not supposed to do the day after dance was lift and I did back.

Oh, you should have just stretched.

I should. The thing is I should have just taken a break. I should have just not worked out that next day. But whatever. Whatever was happened during dance, I made sure it fully injured while I taught them some heels.

Choreography.

[Heath]

Heels, Corey. Like, you wore heels, ladies.

[Mariah]

Kind of like we did buttons by Cat Dolls.

[Heath]

Oh, y'all got hair on too?

[Mariah]

No, no, no, no.

Your head was whipping.

Oh, boy, it was tough.

[Heath]

Did you get really good fitted heels?

[Ethan]

Like, no, we got legit heels.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

Dance heels.

[Heath]

Was it? Kind of. Did you finally get the hang of it at all? Like walking around in them?

[Mariah]

They looked great.

[Heath]

Wow.

[Mariah]

They actually looked.

[Ethan]

So you just got to keep that weight forward up on your toes.

[Heath]

You put on like hoes at all. Like, we.

[Ethan]

We did have an outfit that we were gonna put on for it and it was just too much.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Mariah]

I'll show you the video.

[Heath]

Oh, I can't wait to see it. So good.

[Mariah]

You're gonna be surprised.

We're really, really impressed with each other, with ourselves.

[Heath]

Oh, yeah. I beg all Slade. Yeah.

[Mariah]

So good.

[Heath]

My neck is sore because the past two days I've been working on the Home Alone LEGO set.

[Mariah]

Oh my gosh.

[Heath]

My. Well, making a Lego set is pretty hard to do with two people because you can't.

[Ethan]

Yeah, you can't skip ahead. You have to be in like him.

[Mariah]

And Jordan do that picture.

[Heath]

So to give you like the backstory. So the. The Home Alone Lego set, it is a 3, 900 piece set. Like this is One of the big daddies. It will take around 15.

[Mariah]

Oh, wait, this house right here?

[Heath]

Yes.

[Mariah]

That's the home alone house.

[Heath]

And it opens up and you get, you know, the living room, the kitchen, the. The both of the bedrooms upstairs, the whole attic, all of that. And are you, like, listening to Christmas.

[Mariah]

Music while, like, building it?

[Heath]

Oh, I was drinking your hot cocoa zone. I loved it. But, yeah, Lego.

[Ethan]

I love Legos so much. It's so therapeutic.

[Heath]

Yes. Because you're just following the direction.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

[Heath]

And once you get the hang of it, you start think a Lego, and you just can, like, identify each piece.

[Mariah]

And follow the direct peripherals.

[Heath]

And that's cute.

[Ethan]

Okay. Do you separate and organize before you start, or are you dealing with a.

[Heath]

Mess trying to find so big packets like that? They are big boxes. Yeah. It's like, now you're on bag one, and you empty it all like that. And there's a whole thing where it tells you, we're on this page. We're going to use these pieces. I can just pick them out of the pile. That's pretty easy, isn't it?

[Ethan]

Amazing. I love. I hate how expensive they are.

[Heath]

They are so expensive. And the thing is 400 for a Lego set.

[Mariah]

You know why? He. Because to me, it's more like a. You know those, like, cars that you build yourself?

[Heath]

Like a model car.

[Mariah]

Yeah, like a model car. They're. I feel like they make it expensive because it's more of like a.

[Heath]

It's the crowd.

[Mariah]

People spend money. Like, the crap. People spend money on their hobbies. They're like, oh, people will spend money on this.

[Ethan]

I think. I think for older people, like, adults, the higher the, like, since the price is high, they feel like it's not as childish because if a LEGO set was, like, 20 bucks, they'd probably be like, right, whatever.

[Mariah]

I also wouldn't expect a kid to want to, like, build something like that because it doesn't, like, resonate with.

[Heath]

Yeah. Even if you're a dad trying to do with your kid, you're gonna snap at your kid, be like, what the are you doing? No, get it. Like, you know what? Let me just do it.

[Mariah]

I know it's a different material, but would you add this to your Christmas village? I think maybe put it in, like, the back corner. It's kind of cute.

[Heath]

I think we're just gonna set it. I could add it to my Christmas village. It's kind of big, but I think we're just gonna bring it out for the holidays. But the thing is, is after you go through all of those little packets and you build the whole thing. Even if you were to take it apart, there's no way you could ever put it together. Once you do a big LEGO build, that's it. Yeah, so I kind of, because when I was doing it was like, I wish I could have like done this maybe with my kid when they were like older. But it's just kind of a one and done thing.

[Mariah]

Can't you just like kind of paint? Not like, is it like a glue paste that you just kind of stick them all together and just put them on your shoulder?

[Heath]

You could glue together, but that would take so long.

[Mariah]

Not glue each piece. But is there a thing where you can like almost paint that outskirts of it and it like locks the Legos in. Do they have something like that sealer, like where it seals everything together? No, I'm sure not perfectly.

[Heath]

But like when you go into the LEGO store, obviously like the big sculptures they have that has a sealant on it because it would just break in front of people say, but just seal.

[Mariah]

That you can put on your shelf. It's kind of like this in your office or something. Maybe a move, part of a movie you love.

[Heath]

But it's so satisfying.

[Ethan]

Like, did you know that there's people that go online and they look at what LEGO set is being taken away and they go and buy in bulk and then they flip them. Their whole business, their, their salary is flipping LEGO sets?

[Heath]

Yeah. Oh, big time. That's why this one was so expensive. My brother in law, when he got it for me, he went over the secret Santa budget just to get me this. And I felt so bad, I got him a PS5.

[Mariah]

Did you see that? I, I texted you. My mom texted me the other day. She was like, ask Matt how much he thinks this is worth.

[Heath]

I'm so sorry, I did not respond to that message.

[Mariah]

Christmas. We have like a Christmas village too. Like a really tiny one. But all the villages we have are passed down. And my dad's mom's Christmas village. My mom sent a picture and told Matt the year and said let us know how much this is worth.

[Ethan]

Probably.

[Heath]

I think it's a Dickens Village 1 and there's a lot of Dickens Village out there.

[Mariah]

Maybe one day.

[Heath]

One day. Maybe it's just a beautiful church.

[Mariah]

Never get rid of it.

[Ethan]

I know you're not into like, because like Legos are very specific. You have to be like into what that LEGO set is. But Lego came out with like artwork ones and they're so cool.

[Heath]

Like they're like, starry night.

[Ethan]

Like, they're like. Oh, yeah, they're like color blocked ones. So it's kind of like abstract. So when you step further away, the image becomes like, genius.

[Mariah]

I love that. I love that. Because you can use that as art after. You don't have to like, break it apart.

[Heath]

Because sometimes Legos don't look that good. This is something on yourself.

[Mariah]

I'm. I am for this. This a hundred percent. I think every Lego should be something where you can hang up after it's done. Or like a puzzle. You know, you finish a puzzle and it's like, you know, it's. It's now a piece. You just spray, you seal it and then you hang it.

[Ethan]

They have an Elvis one that's really cool too. And I just like the fact that you don't have to like build like a structure or something. Like, you still get to enjoy, like. Look at how cool that is.

[Mariah]

That's sick.

Yeah, that is.

Matt, look at that one.

It's like when people make art out of like pennies or something.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Heath]

The Home Alone House, though. Every fucking detail in that movie is in the house. Like, I have the Michael Jordan around on the cut out, there's this spider. The shelves. You know how like the shelves break when he's trying to climb in the tarantula. There's a little thing I can pull out. The shelves fall down, the furnace lights up. Down at the bottom, I have.

[Mariah]

See the zip line in the back by the tree house?

[Heath]

I. That's the last thing I have to build today is the tree house. And then I'm done.

[Mariah]

Okay, really cool.

[Ethan]

Is, is there like a head designer guy who's sitting there who's making these by hand and going, okay, that took me 50 of these ones. Or is it an algorithm, like, AI type thing now to where they can go, okay, I want this to be what it is, what you're doing.

[Heath]

Exactly what I've been thinking the whole time I've been building it. Because I'm like, there's such a strategy one to how the Legos go order everything. Because it's not just like, oh, these, this many up this minute. They know how to like, keep it reinforced as well and create the illusion.

[Ethan]

Of what you're making because, like, you'll be building something and then it gets covered. Like, I've done multiple, like, LEGO cars. The engine inside is like a legit engine. So as your wheels are spinning, like if you were to like roll the bottom of the wheels on the car.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Your engine is Going, yeah, it is so fast.

[Mariah]

Like the cars have moving parts, but then you like put the hood on and it's covered anyway. But the deep, like you're saying all the inside details, like the Michael Jordan. That's all inside.

[Heath]

Yeah. And you open it opens up the whole. You open up each floor, all the details.

[Ethan]

Is it a person making it or is it like a computer?

[Heath]

They have a database of when somebody has figured out like the, the shingles on like the roof or that doing that diagonal triangle or whatever that I was like, who thought of doing this? I bet they have that in the database. So you're like, I need just something that is that. And they go, we built this in the past. Use that. And it just.

[Mariah]

And I also feel like they have like every, like every shape Lego and like the measurements in their database. So like when they are. When you imagine zooming through on like on a computer, you can see each Lego already built in like almost like this graphic design.

[Ethan]

Wait until you start getting like catered Instagram like things now, like now you're talking about Legos.

[Heath]

Legos.

[Ethan]

Now that there's people on Instagram that will make their own LEGO kit, set things and tell you what parts if you want to like follow theirs. Yeah, there's people that'll do like, you can't buy the LEGO set for a specific car, but a guy will make them and be like, this is the Legos that I use. This is how many you need. And he'll show like the done car, different cars. It's really sick.

[Heath]

And I've also seen some dude built like a Lego, because if you had a whole bunch of Legos and you're looking for the two by three piece and you can't fucking find it. Some guy built like a tower of like a LEGO filter and you dump in all the Legos and you just keep shaking organizer. It sifts them all through. Which I'm like, how does that even work? Yes, like a coin filter.

[Mariah]

I feel like that would take forever because it's a square. It's like, how is it gonna.

[Heath]

I saw a video one time, but.

[Mariah]

You see like you doing this every. This is probably why I never feel like I'm in the Christmas spirit. He has his decorations up, he's getting this like home alone lego. He's having music playing. I don't have have any of that like happening ever.

[Heath]

It's good to find a holiday.

[Mariah]

You just want to get up and do it.

Just like force yourself to have these things done around you. So it just feels like Christmas.

[Ethan]

If you find the activity that you enjoy doing for the holiday, you, like, look forward to, like the whole setup. And then once it's done, you get to like, be like, oh, that looks nice. Like, I.

[Mariah]

And it's exciting.

Like, the more me the baby.

[Heath]

Just doing lines.

[Ethan]

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

[Heath]

The holiday spirit and our tree this year, I figured out like the Martha Stewart way of like wrapping, how you wrap each, like limb of a tree like that. Because so many people, when they light their tree, they just do a spiral. But when you go, you first do just the full trunk in the base. You do that as like the inner glow of white lights. And then the other ones you just like.

[Mariah]

Did I recently just send you, like, a new way to rap? I forget. I forget what it was, but this girl's wrapping her Christmas present. I'm like, what an awesome way. And I thought I sent it to you because I know you love.

[Ethan]

It's a different style of wrapping it.

[Mariah]

I forget what it was.

[Heath]

The diagonal method.

[Ethan]

That one works well, maybe I saw.

[Heath]

That one and I was like, I love that version.

[Mariah]

I. I know it's more electricity and it's not as safe, but I like the old school colored lights rather than the LED color. Yeah, it's warmer.

[Heath]

The old school ones, when you add like the big bulbs, like the C9 ones on it, that adds like this whole other.

[Mariah]

It's more of a hazard, the old school ones. But the leds just don't feel like it doesn't hit.

[Ethan]

That's why our parents would be like, did you turn. Did you turn the tree off? Right. It would be a panic.

[Mariah]

Everything was on a timer. We had like the timer that was attached to it.

I wonder what the. What the. The statistic were statistics were for Christmas tree burnings. Like every year, just like Christmas tree.

[Ethan]

Going up also, they catch like a Christmas tree ignites.

[Mariah]

Oh, yeah. Or no fake ones.

[Heath]

You gotta water it two times a day. It's. Trees need their water and you gotta get on up under that and. Yeah, you have to.

[Mariah]

What. What do you mean a real tree.

[Ethan]

Do you have like that little tray that it goes into and you like screw into the. The trunk of the tree, lock it in, and then you put water.

[Heath]

Yeah, like the same way if you got flowers, you got to put them in water. It'll dry out.

[Mariah]

It was. It lasted long enough where it just gets you through the holidays and then you just get rid of it and then you just get the next one. Or people Put it back and plant.

Like, a month or two is a very long time.

[Heath]

They dry out, and then at the end, if you just touch it, the needles fall.

[Mariah]

It's a mess.

My mom was like, it just now it's too messy.

[Heath]

Yeah. Fake trees just have, like, a reliability to, like, hold every little ornament.

[Mariah]

Do. Do you think people do this? I'm sure people do this, but they just hang, like, those car scents. But it smells like a Christmas tree all around it. Just so like it if we have those.

[Heath]

I bought them at cvs.

[Mariah]

Like, I would love to smell the Christmas tree, but it's spray. Yeah.

[Ethan]

We're so excited to finally get our Christmas tree next year.

[Heath]

Wait, what do you mean Christmas tree.

[Ethan]

Will be one more.

[Mariah]

We never had a tree.

Why are you not doing one this year on Amazon?

[Heath]

But what.

[Ethan]

It's a thing that we've just been, like, waiting for.

[Mariah]

I want things to look forward to when we get married. Like, we have, like, every kitchen appliance we can ever want. So, like, like, especially when I was getting, like, my bridal shower gifts, like, it was hard to shop because we just buy what we need. And it's like, traditionally, like, you don't live together before marriage, and then you get married, and then you can, like, experience all of that together. So I still want to keep things until after the wedding so that, like, picking out a Christmas tree is so special. And we're gonna. I'm hoping to, like, have that Christmas tree forever. So I think it'll be, like, really special, like, if we. In our forever home, we're married, and it's something to look forward to. You look forward to kids and stuff. But I want, like, other little stuff.

[Ethan]

Fly to our families and stuff for Christmas too. So we want it to be, like, when we have our. Our forever home and, like, we start having our Christmas. Like, then we'll have, like, a nice.

[Heath]

It's proper. We get christening our tree tradition.

[Mariah]

I'm just so excited for it. I want to keep looking forward to it. So I just decorate as much as I can without a tree. Like, I have ornamen ornaments hanging. We have one of those lights that the floor lamps that come up, and there's, like, four.

[Heath]

What is it called?

[Mariah]

Like, prongs that stick your Christmas tree right now. So I hung ornaments from each one.

[Heath]

Nice.

[Mariah]

And I made, like, our stockings and stuff, so it does feel. And we play Christmas music. Like, it feels good. But I. I can't wait to do the Christmas tree.

It's funny that you Mentioned that because that is actually the reason why I don't do, like, decorations anywhere is because I'm waiting for my forever home. I didn't want to something that, like, I'm truly, like, I can't sleep at night because I'm just waiting.

[Heath]

Have you ever done Christmas crackers?

[Mariah]

Have you ever done this one?

[Heath]

Christmas crackers?

[Ethan]

Watch your mouth.

[Mariah]

Christmas crackers.

[Heath]

It's like. Well, it's a British tradition, but they are like these little mini, like, gifts that look like a massive Tootsie Roll out of, like, I don't know, cardboard, construction paper. And everyone gets in a circle and you all pull them from each side. And then inside is usually a candy and like a little crown.

[Mariah]

Oh, I've heard of this.

[Heath]

You put the paper crowns. That shows people, like, wearing the Christmas crackers or.

[Mariah]

You said this is a what tradition?

[Heath]

It's like a British tradition, but it's. Yeah. Where's the crowns images? Yeah, like, you wear the little crowns and stuff. It's just a fun little flair to put on the holidays.

[Mariah]

I like, just look at him like, oh, yep, that's. That's British.

[Heath]

That's British.

[Mariah]

We have Americans have freaking hide the pickle in the tree.

[Heath]

Yeah, we do. You know what?

[Ethan]

You know what that reminds me of? And shouts out to Coca Cola when they came out with that pull tab for the bow for the Coca Cola can.

[Heath]

Wait.

[Ethan]

You've never seen it? No, you have to.

[Mariah]

Oh, Zane, you're going to love that.

I mean, I bet you seen it.

[Ethan]

I'm just brain power that went into this.

[Mariah]

Oh, yeah. Yes.

[Ethan]

The. The bottle, the wrapper that goes. It turns into a bow, ribbles into itself and pulls into a bow.

[Mariah]

They don't do that anymore, though. Probably because it's not environmental. It's not environmental safe.

[Ethan]

But, like, the person that came up with that.

[Mariah]

Yeah, that's genius.

[Ethan]

Give them a raise. Before we continue, we want to give a big thank you to our next sponsor of this podcast, seatgeek.

Thank you so much, SeatGeek, for sponsoring this podcast. We love you and thank you for helping us see our favorite artists.

[Heath]

I feel like we've said it before, but, yeah, Coca Cola actually, like, invented the image of what we know as Santa. I know, like, the whole polar bear, like, the whole red thing about it.

[Mariah]

No, no.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Mariah]

That's like, there's no.

[Heath]

Coca Cola was, like, the origin in.

[Mariah]

Red and with a white trim. That's all made by Coke.

[Ethan]

So they weren't. The sales for Coca Cola dropped when it would get colder. So, like, they weren't having as many. You know, Coca Cola is being sold in the winter time, so they're like, we need to market this as a drink to drink during December. Like, we need to get sales up. So they were like, okay, let's just do billboards.

[Heath]

All of this sand.

[Ethan]

That's why they went with, like, the polar bear, the Coca Cola polar. Like, drinking in the cold, only for the sake of getting more sales in the winter.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

And then the whole thing with Santa.

[Mariah]

I'm hearing that they created, like, what Santa Claus looks like.

It says they played a big role in shaping the character we know today. So they didn't create Santa.

[Heath]

St. Nicholas is Santa Claus.

[Ethan]

Look. And the whole thing, you're basically so.

[Mariah]

Shocked about, like, something else in my life.

[Heath]

Oh, really?

[Mariah]

Yes. Because I thought this was, like, back in. I didn't think a soda company came up with what. We see Santa Claus as what he is today.

It says, In 1822, Coca Cola was inspired by a poem, a visit from St. Nicholas. So I guess they read the poem, inspired. And then they.

[Heath]

Yeah, like, people had, like, images of Santa Claus. Like, wow. You know, especially. I don't know, in, like, Eastern Europe and, like, Krampus and all of that. But, like, Santa Claus was more decked out like the Santa next to you. That's, like, more traditional of what Santa looked like. It was, like, in a green cloak.

[Ethan]

Red and white. Like, they came up with damn props to Coke. Crazy.

[Heath]

Also, people say that, like, the animus, the animosquita mushroom, like, Christmas has a lot to do with, like, shrooms as well. And, like, the stockings is where they would hang to dry the shrooms. And animosquita mushrooms are like the Mario mushrooms. That's like red and white and that's all tied in.

[Mariah]

And how does that smell?

[Heath]

I mean, a dried up mushroom.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

[Heath]

I mean that's how people take shrooms, but there's a whole connection of Christmas.

[Mariah]

Right, Right. You would love shrooms.

[Heath]

Yeah. It opens up your shroom. Episod. I don't know.

[Mariah]

No, I'll do a. I'll do a Patreon Shroom episode. Yeah, Sounds fun.

[Heath]

It's just like the spirit of giving and looking inwards and it's Aussie, like drinking.

[Mariah]

What's that? A new brew?

[Ethan]

You don't hallucinate, though.

[Mariah]

No, no, not when I. I never. No, I don't think I've ever like, to this day, I've never hallucinated from.

[Ethan]

Oh, really? Never. Wow.

[Mariah]

I can take too much and it give me like a panic attack. But like never to the point where I'm like, like, like I'm hallucinating to.

[Ethan]

Where you're like seeing like.

[Mariah]

I think it's crazy that people can even eat that much to hallucinate. Like, I wouldn't, I. I couldn't. I like.

[Ethan]

I saw this one story about a guy who like did it and then like climbed to like the top of.

[Mariah]

A tree, you see, and that's. I imagine what I would do.

[Ethan]

Oh, my. Hallucinating on top of a tree and.

[Mariah]

You have to get down spiritual. It actually sounds kind of healing.

[Ethan]

That sounds terrifying. And then you think like the branches are like attacking you and you gotta like fight your way.

[Mariah]

The whomping willow. Just.

[Ethan]

Absolutely not.

[Heath]

Wow. Oh, do you know what? Like the candy cane. So candy canes were white for the longest time. Then they add the red stripes in like the 20th century. But what those symbolize? The red and the white?

[Ethan]

No.

[Mariah]

A Coke.

[Heath]

Mariah, do you know it has to.

[Mariah]

Do with the holidays. Is it the blood of Jesus in the body?

[Heath]

It's the blood in the body of Christ.

[Mariah]

Jesus is king, y'all.

[Heath]

That's what the case. Yeah. The red and white of that candy cane is, you know, your own little candy cane communion.

[Mariah]

Wow. Interesting. Good man.

[Heath]

Did you ever suck a candy cane so hard it became a little bit of a. Yeah.

[Mariah]

That'S had to have been like a. A weapon in like a Christmas horror movie, right?

[Heath]

Oh, absolutely. Absolutely. That's been done.

[Mariah]

It's sharper than like you can get.

[Ethan]

Her play really sharp.

[Heath]

I like the candy canes that are like the multi colored Ones that are a little bit of a tootie fruity.

[Mariah]

I hate mint flavored, like, candy.

[Heath]

I'm never in the mood.

[Ethan]

We used to get the variety pack every anime.

[Mariah]

Your mouth was like, black because every color mix.

And of course they'd make, like, the blue one taste the best.

[Heath]

So the blue went hard.

[Mariah]

Come on. Why couldn't they just keep it white and, like, have the flavor in there? You can do that. It's been done before.

Why is it so embarrassing when your mouth turns a different color? Like, when I go to choose a candy in front of, like, my peers, I'm like, oh, my mouth's gonna turn it. Like, I have to announce it. I know my mouth's about to be a different color. You don't.

[Heath]

But when you're a kid, it's the coolest thing ever. But as an adult, you're like, oh.

[Mariah]

God, my teeth are blue.

[Heath]

Like, yeah, sorry, guys.

[Mariah]

Embarrassing.

And even, like, we'll go to, like, some events. They'll have those, like, really fruity drinks, but they'll put a ton of dying and you're drinking all night and you're. You're posing a picture and your teeth are blue. I'm like, why are you, like, putting that? It does not make them taste any better.

[Ethan]

Like blue icing cookies when they have, like, the sugar.

[Mariah]

Yes. What do you call those cookies again? The ones we love.

[Heath]

Sugar cookies.

[Mariah]

Oh, they're just called sugar cookies.

[Heath]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mariah]

The ones from, like, the grocery store.

Yeah, they're called sugar cookies.

I can't believe people don't like those.

[Heath]

But I love me a proper sugar cookie Christmas cookie cookie.

[Mariah]

Yeah, me too.

[Heath]

Like that somebody's mom homemade it, brought it to the party, did the icing, made the, made the stocking, made the candy cane, made all of the little shapes.

[Ethan]

Did you guys ever make gingerbread cookies?

[Mariah]

Yes.

[Heath]

Yes.

[Ethan]

Homemade ones.

[Mariah]

Dude, I never actually had wanted one. I bet you it tastes like the Delta cookies, right? It has to taste like that.

[Heath]

Like, I'll try to bring some back. We have a neighbor, Ms. Lyons. Mrs. Lyons. She makes the best gingerbread cookies that you have ever tasted in your life.

[Ethan]

Can you please bring some?

[Heath]

And they're like, chewy too.

[Mariah]

Oh, my gosh.

[Heath]

And she does this, like, icing, and she does every little, like, edge to them, does the buttons, all of it. And they're like, perfectly bite sized. And it's divine.

[Ethan]

I want one so bad.

[Mariah]

I know that's your dream, to be like that one lady in the neighborhood that makes the best of something.

Kidding.

And where they're waiting. They're all talking about it behind your back.

[Ethan]

They're waiting for. It's gonna be sending out cookies soon.

[Mariah]

You should. You should see the setup I put in for delivery drivers to the house.

Wait, you're sending cookies for. For what?

[Ethan]

Our whole front walkway of our house is just a Amazon delivery. Any sort of service gifting for snacks, drinks, everything. So anybody who's coming to the front to deliver package, we have this whole.

[Mariah]

Note that's our front door right now.

[Ethan]

For everybody we watch on the ring camera when they'll come and walk up and drop something off. And then they'll look at it and they'll be like.

[Mariah]

Like, yeah, them deci. Like a full adult deciding what snack to get is.

So you guys are going to die. My. So, you know. No, our friend Noelia, she just posted a close friend story. I shouldn't be talking. It's her closer, but, like, I think it's because of her house. You saw her house. But she had a. A delivery from Sprinter. You. That, you know, the. The.

[Heath]

The drink.

[Ethan]

The drink. The alcohol.

[Mariah]

The. The seltzers. The. The way they delivered it was like in a bucket in ice. So, like, it was exact. Like, it was supposed to look really pretty, so it wasn't in a box. Like, it was just left in front of her house where, like, you can, like, grab a can from there. An Amazon driver pulls up.

[Heath]

She looks.

[Mariah]

Oh, my God, she looks in there and she. She's like, oh. Happy holidays from Kylie Jenner.

Oh, my God, thank you.

She grabs. Grabs the seltzer, walks away thinking that that was her house. It was.

[Heath]

Are they alcoholic?

[Mariah]

Yeah.

[Heath]

Oh, boy. She's like, probably drinking on the job. Like, merry Christmas, everybody.

[Mariah]

When you hear her, like, reading the card, it's ky.

I'm having a really good day.

I want to play you the audio. I. It was so funny.

[Heath]

Kylie Jenner.

[Mariah]

That's so, like, just innocent.

[Heath]

Thank you, Kylie.

[Ethan]

I'm just. Thank you, Kylie.

[Mariah]

Thank you, Kylie.

[Heath]

She just took one.

[Mariah]

Yeah, I just took one.

[Ethan]

Kylie should run that as, like, a promo for it.

[Mariah]

Yeah. Thank you.

That is pretty funny.

But it's also the front of someone's house, so you don't want to. But. Yeah, it was really.

[Ethan]

That's really funny. I'm waiting for somebody to think that my yeti cooler outside is part of the game, so.

[Mariah]

Oh, yeah, they just grabbed the whole thing. I would.

[Heath]

How long. What do they get? Does YETI claim it's not a biggest.

[Ethan]

Scam in the world?

[Heath]

Is it really does not keep it that cool and that much coal.

[Ethan]

That keeps ice. But it's. There's other coolers that are a fourth of the price.

[Mariah]

The zipper ones are pretty good, right? You know the ones you zip and you lock? Yes, those are good.

[Heath]

The ones with the magnetic seals on it. You take that down to the beach. Yeah, you're good to go.

[Ethan]

Yeti is a great product. It's just so.

[Mariah]

I think it's more like a lifestyle.

[Ethan]

Like, it's like, people like the name.

[Heath]

Like a tailgate flex.

[Mariah]

Yeah, definitely.

[Heath]

You got. Yeah, you got.

[Mariah]

I respect it. Like, I think Yeti looks cool. Like, whenever I see someone with yeti, I'm like, they got Yeti.

[Heath]

A yeti is a yeti. Like the Abominal Snowman. Yeah, it's like the. The Bigfoot of the.

[Mariah]

Okay, good name.

Wait, what is that? Like their.

[Ethan]

They just bought Mystery Ranch.

[Mariah]

What's Mystery?

Mystery Ranch.

[Ethan]

It's like one of the best backpack companies in the world.

[Heath]

I thought it was a ranch company.

[Mariah]

Me, too.

[Heath]

I thought it was cool, like a little dip bucket in the yeti. I'll take that.

[Ethan]

You. You don't know which one it's going to be. It's like a Chipotle Ranch, but then.

[Heath]

The ranch gets into the ice and you're like, oh, God, the beer.

[Heath]

Buying ice is so stressful.

[Mariah]

I. I thought about cooler, but it stressed me out.

[Heath]

But it's outside and then you're walking in, you're like, I need ice.

[Ethan]

Ice.

[Heath]

But you trust me that I'm gonna.

[Mariah]

Go get somewhere close because then it's gonna melt on the way home.

[Heath]

Yeah, it's just, I'm four bags. I'm gonna go, do you want to watch me pick out the four bags?

[Mariah]

You know how there used to be a milkman? There should be an iceman like once a week instead of like the newspaper, just bring some ice.

I don't understand how you like can trust people to like just grab ice and come inside and pay for them. And it's always hidden too. Like the ice machine is like not in the peripheral vision of like the register ever.

[Heath]

And then you're picking up the bags, you're like, I guess this one's good. But it just seems like one big ice. Hopefully I'm going to like break this and then it just.

[Ethan]

You're doing this thing and then you're soaking wet cuz you got the ice draped around.

[Mariah]

We're going to be laughing at this at in 2030. This is going to be some crazy, crazy idea.

[Heath]

But it's the best when you're at.

[Mariah]

Someone'S house five years away.

[Heath]

Oh wow.

[Mariah]

I said that, that like it was.

[Heath]

But I always love someone who has like they got an ice machine. But no, it's like it's the ice machine and they, and they got this scoop and you're just like making drinks. You're like, we're good to go.

[Mariah]

I think that's cleaner. Too. I like these, these ice machines in the fridge. They are disgusting. That ice smells bad when you put it in your drinks. Your. Your whole drink just tastes bad. There's something. Yeah. What do you have to get like a separate ice machine that's like outside of your fridge where you can like.

[Ethan]

Got like mildew and stuff.

[Mariah]

That's the other thing I can't wait to look forward to when we get our forever home picking out a fridge.

Yeah.

Because we'll go into like Best Buy and we're like, let's look at the fridges. They're so good.

[Heath]

Fridges are. You gotta look into. Fridges are sometimes a big scam or like.

[Ethan]

Or. Yeah. They're so expensive new age fridges and.

[Heath]

Then they break down on you.

[Mariah]

They don't make them. Like they used.

[Heath]

They say buy like a kitchen grade fridge or buy a fridge they use in restaurants like in the back and stuff. That's like, like a commercial.

[Mariah]

What do you mean commercial grade?

[Ethan]

They're like the industrial fridge.

[Mariah]

But those are, those are massive though. Like you can get them at the.

[Heath]

Right size and they're really dependable. Really. And even like washing machines too. They say like, go get like a laundromat. Like a new age laundry.

[Mariah]

What?

We just had this conversation about like the. With my parents old washing machines. Yeah. We were saying like, you don't even need detergent because back then cleaning something, they used to use rocks because it was the friction. Right.

[Ethan]

The agitator. You need an agitator for your washing machine.

[Heath]

Yes, yes. That's a huge one. An agitator don't have any cylinder.

[Mariah]

Oh yeah.

[Heath]

You need that because that cleans your clothes.

[Ethan]

So you don't need nearly as much detergent as they're saying you, you need like, like a drop.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

All of them say like the. Basically it's, it's, it's just to get you to use more of it and just keep buying. You need like that's it.

[Mariah]

Like appliances are not just a drop.

[Ethan]

Another thing too is like the detergent. Like you can get like rashes from.

[Mariah]

Detergent sometimes they're good for your skin.

[Heath]

Do you guys use liquid detergent or powder detergent? Detergent. We have a liquid Patricia's like all about powder detergent.

[Mariah]

I've tried it. I didn't really like it.

[Heath]

I think it makes like the, your washing machine a little less dirty because like sometimes that like grime gets in that gunk of like the door of Beaver. Like wipe that. You're like, what is this?

[Ethan]

You Will never.

[Mariah]

I think we should go back to the washboards, though.

[Ethan]

Yep.

[Heath]

Like that. Yeah. Oh, Mary, how are we doing today?

[Mariah]

Hang it up, let it air dry. I don't know. I think should go back to that and you. And that will prevent you from, like, wearing your always washing your clothes after wearing them once. You know what I mean?

[Ethan]

Like, if we go back to that, he would just buy a new shirt every time he needed one. He would not be sitting there.

[Mariah]

That's absolutely true. I'm like, nope.

I honestly would too. I, like, I. I've said this before, but even if I wear, like, if I'm. I'm just wearing this outfit for the podcast in the wash. And it's not dirty because it stretches.

Yeah, stretches. It feels dirty.

I just don't feel. Yeah, I feel dirty. I need it washed, like, immediately.

[Heath]

Have you guys ever cleaned a filter on a washing or dishwasher?

[Ethan]

No.

[Heath]

You know, there's like a filter down there.

[Mariah]

Of course there is.

[Heath]

And it's like, of people cleaning it and it disgusts me. And I've never done it with ours. But, like, our dishes seem, like, clean and fine and I. Every week I'm like, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it, but I just don't want.

[Mariah]

I don't want to know.

[Heath]

Open it up and just be mortified with what I'm gonna find. I want someone like, I'll pay 20 bucks and I just don't look and just.

[Mariah]

You know what? I haven't my coffee filter. That's probably really gross right now.

[Heath]

And it curates.

[Mariah]

Since I bought my coffee machine, I like, there's. I'm sure there's a filter, right, like where the water goes through, like, so.

[Ethan]

What you need to do is you need to run like three cups of just hot water with no pod in it. If you were to run a, A, a podless coffee right now, you would be disgusted at what the water looks like when you get it. Yeah, you need to. You need to, like, every once in a while just, like, run like an empty one.

[Mariah]

I'm going to do it. I'm going to do it.

[Ethan]

They say to do with vinegar too. And then just like, rinse that through to vinegar.

[Mariah]

Alcohol and dawn are the only things you need.

That's why I wake up foggy every day. I'm drinking all this mildew and just slowly killing me.

I mean, you're never sick, so I'm all for it. You're all right.

[Heath]

I swerved a cold last week. I really felt it coming on. You know when you get that first little tickle in your throat and you're like, oh my God, it's coming. And I was getting so anxious because, you know, holidays around the corner and I didn't want this, like cold to linger because Patricia had one, one, you know those zinc, those rapid melt zinc tablets, Zycam tablets. I bought those and I bought the gummies and I took them every two, three hours straight for 48 hours. Gone. Swerved. It shortened. It went away. It was incredible.

[Mariah]

I really think it is a mental thing too, where you just tell yourself, I'm not gonna get sick. I'm not gonna get sick.

[Ethan]

Whenever, whenever I get feeling it, I'll tell her. And she'll be like, no, you're not.

[Mariah]

I'll gaslight him.

[Ethan]

No, you're not. You're fine.

[Mariah]

But then he's okay.

[Ethan]

I'm fine.

[Mariah]

Just take the shot of olive oil. You'd be good.

[Ethan]

Put, put a garlic piece in your ear.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

Or if somebody like, tells me, like, you don't sound good, I'm great.

[Ethan]

Oh, I'm fine.

[Mariah]

I don't know about you.

We went to a Korean barbecue restaurant yesterday.

[Heath]

Oh, what the frig you guys were.

[Mariah]

We were just talking about how we wanted to go. You didn't invite us.

I know. I told you I was going to go Wednesday night.

You didn't text us.

What were you guys doing last night?

Going to dinner.

Exactly. Did I get that invite? No, I didn't. Thank you very much.

No, Reed invited us to dinner and I said, you know what? Screw Zane.

[Ethan]

We said, yeah, we don't have any plans, fans. So I guess we will.

[Mariah]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

All right. So I, yeah, I was at a Korean barbecue restaurant yesterday and I'm not listening to those. We're eating and we have this server and she just looks so familiar. I'm like, I have definitely seen this girl before. But like, I, you know, didn't bother going further than that. And then as we're leaving, she goes, I, I, I think we've met before. I'm like, okay, we have met before. Where? And she's like, it remembers my last day. I was like, oh, my. And it all hit me at one once. The last time I saw this girl, we were at a bar and she was having just the worst day ever, right? And she comes up to me and, you know, she's being nice to me. She was like, I, she's like, you know, I, I, this place, you know what? This is my last, you know, I'm gonna quit. And I was like, you know what?

No way.

This place sucks.

[Heath]

You should.

[Mariah]

You should quit right now. Like, I was being really support. She goes, and she quits. Right. And then that was her last day.

[Ethan]

Oh, my God.

[Mariah]

Next time I see her is at this restaurant.

[Heath]

Wow.

[Mariah]

Crazy.

[Heath]

I couldn't believe it, though. Like, years.

[Mariah]

Maybe like a year and a half ago.

That's crazy.

[Ethan]

So she quit and then got this new job.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

That's so funny. You guys crossed paths.

Yeah, it was crazy.

Really fun.

[Heath]

I had a similar interaction like that where I was at the pharmacist, you know, picking up my medication. And the girl said, did you used to go to. She's like, matt, right? And I was like, yeah. She goes. Used to go to the McDonald's North Hollywood a lot. Like, years ago. And I go. I was like. And I was like, yeah, I did. She was like, yeah, I worked there. I remember that. You would come. And I was like, and now you're a pharmacist. She was like, and now I'm a pharmacist. I was like, that's amazing. That, like, you know, she went from working at McDonald's, now is like, fully pharmacist working behind the thing. And it was just, like, props to her.

[Mariah]

I'm just realizing now that, you know how, like, every restaurant has their. Like, has their. Their loyal customer, like, customers.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Mariah]

Repeated customers.

[Heath]

Regulars.

[Mariah]

Regulars. Drive thrus probably have regulars all the time. Like, every two days are like, how you doing, Mary?

[Heath]

Yeah, Same thing. Thing.

[Mariah]

Same thing today.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Mariah]

Number three with a block.

[Heath]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

I can't believe you guys figured out where you knew each other from.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

[Ethan]

Pinned it back to that night.

[Mariah]

Yeah. Because I couldn't have told. Like, I wouldn't have known it was from that moment. But the moment she said, my last.

Day, it just like, Zane, this feels like the invisible string theory. Am I right, ladies?

[Heath]

There was a girl.

[Mariah]

Oh, yeah. Oh, you're saying this is the love of my life?

Yeah.

Oh, no.

[Ethan]

Could be.

[Heath]

I was in New York City. Patricia was out shopping. I'm in the Lower east side. There's like a UT game on. And I'm just like, I'm gonna find just a sports bar to go watch this. And I walk around, go in a few bars. They're too packed. And I find one. I'm like, all right, this is good. I've never been to this bar. I go and sit at the. The bar by myself, just watching the games, having a drink, read my Kindle. And then the bartender's like, oh, finally you decide to show up. Good to see you again. And I'm like, what? I. She goes. She's like, yeah, you haven't been here in a long time. And I go, go, I've been to this bar before. She goes, yeah, you have. And I go, I've never been in this place in my entire life. I go, when do I come here? She was like, I don't know. Like, I feel like a year ago. And I was like, what? So I'm like, going through my camera roll, thinking about every time I was in New York, and. And I go. And I was like, I did not go to this bar. I've never been to this bar. She goes, I served you right out there with all of your friends. She goes, yeah, I remember your friend's first.

[Mariah]

First and last name.

And I'm like, a parallel universe.

[Heath]

Yeah. In my head, I'm like, I gotta be. And so then she would, like, walk away. Is like, you clearly don't remember. And I'm like, I never.

[Ethan]

Worse than when somebody is, like, telling you, and you're like, I really don't think so. And then they're, like, looking at you like, yes.

[Heath]

So she was making me feel like crazy.

[Mariah]

It's like when that girl thought you were Zayn. And she was like, stop playing dumb, Zane. And you're like, I'm not saying okay. And she was like, all right.

[Heath]

And then I asked her, I'm like, did you work at another bar at all in New York? She goes, no, I just moved here from Indiana. And I'm like, okay, well, my family's from Indiana. Like this. And she's like, no, no, that wouldn't have been it. We went through everything, and then I was toxic. And then. Then I had to pull the card. I'm like, do you recognize me from, like, the Internet? Like, was I. I had it, but I had to. But I had to because, like, she was like, our age and stuff, and she felt like she knew me. She's like, you just look so familiar. I've served you back out there. And then she was still. Was like, no, I don't know who you are. I was like, david Doberg. She goes, yeah, no, David Mariah. This. Hold on. I want to say, though, this was the course over, like an hour.

[Mariah]

A dream.

[Heath]

And she was still always like, then how do we know each other?

[Mariah]

You go, prince, what's that? Principal show?

[Heath]

Abbott elementary or what you were on? Mr. Student Body President.

[Mariah]

Mr. Student Body President Episode 3, Season.

[Heath]

1 Greg Lehman perhaps? Yeah. I don't. But, yeah, we just were never able to figure it out. But this woman was so sure that one time.

[Ethan]

Never watch the prizes.

[Heath]

Make a deal.

[Mariah]

Let's make a deal.

Oh, my gosh. Those are two different.

Whenever I have an interaction like that, I always. If I feel like it is from the Internet, I always tell them we. I think we definitely. Like, I've met before, but, like, nice to see you again.

I lie out my ass.

I'm like, where.

Where'd you grow up? Oh, man. No, I don't know.

But just to, like, just sometimes I'm.

[Heath]

Like, where do I know you from? I always say, like, oh, like, I'll. I will go like the Internet. And they go, that's it. I'm like, yeah, thank you. Like, I'm not. Like, you might have seen me. I just, like, seal it.

[Mariah]

Love on top. Fine. Yeah.

[Heath]

But that was just the crazy.

[Ethan]

This certainty didn't get to the bottom of it.

[Heath]

And, like, we were never able to figure it out.

[Mariah]

I'm like, well, what if you have a twin?

[Heath]

Maybe. I don't know. Maybe like a total doppelganger.

[Mariah]

Twin is also very popular. He had a lot of friends.

Yeah.

[Heath]

Just her certainty. Like, you were right out there.

[Mariah]

And I look up pictures to see if it looked different through every little.

[Heath]

And ran through like, each day and who I hung out with. The last time I was in New York, never went to this bar, was never there.

[Mariah]

I think you should, like, go right back to be like, you're a liar and just see where that goes.

[Heath]

Wait and no, just now I had this, like, moment where I was like, I had been in there before, but then I. I think I'm just thinking about me being back in there. I don't know.

[Mariah]

Do you like New York York?

[Heath]

I. Yeah. I love Manhattan. I love. I love how many, like, options and, like, good food spots there are.

[Mariah]

Yeah.

[Heath]

Like, in how anywhere. You could go anywhere for $2 and 50 cents. Like, it's a possibility to go see your friends on a certain side of town. Yeah. Make 30 minutes to get there, but it's two bucks and 50 cents. I hate LA, how it's like, oh, you live on the west side. I'm gonna. It's gonna cost me 50 bucks to get there.

[Mariah]

I'll see you once again.

[Heath]

Just to get to one side of la. La. Yeah. But I don't think I would ever live there.

[Ethan]

Does the subway only, like, run under Manhattan or can you, like, take the subway to, like, a Staten island or.

[Mariah]

To, like, not to Say any other Brooklyn, Queens.

[Heath]

Yeah. But then like the further, like if you go to Sleepy hall, you have to get like on a different train and buy a different type of ticket. But anything that the New York subway.

[Mariah]

System takes you like to Staten island, you take the ferry or the bus, but.

[Ethan]

Oh, right, right.

[Mariah]

You know, they have a, they have like a Bright line now in Florida where it.

[Ethan]

Yes, I hear speed.

[Mariah]

It's a speed train that takes you from like I think Key Biscayne all the way to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, then Tampa or Orlando, then around to Tampa and down to.

I'm surprised that just happened. They should have been doing that actually.

I don't think they've built the one that connected to Tampa yet. They're. They're building that right now. But now you don't have to rent a car and drive to Orlando or.

I feel like if a state is like California and Florida, if they're that long. Long. And there's so many hot spots that are opposite of each other.

Yeah.

Put a freaking. Get a metro system. Get it. I don't know, it's so weird. Like if people want to go to Miami and Orlando in the same Florida trip, like provide something easier.

Well, they have it now. Yeah, it's. They have two. It's like Amtrak and Bright Line.

[Ethan]

If it's too far for an Uber and you don't want to rent a car, there's like nothing in between.

[Mariah]

And the flight kind of sucks to go from like Orlando to Fort Lauderdale.

[Ethan]

Yeah.

[Heath]

Buy a U Haul truck. I've done that as a rental because the drop offs with U Hauls are better because sometimes the A location will be like, we won't accept that rental car at the place that you're trying to get to. But U Hauls are like, we'll take the U Hauls and it's a 2040 rental.

[Mariah]

Can't you drop it off at like some gas stations too?

Yeah, some places.

There you go.

[Heath]

I know Patricia. We did a U Haul from South Bed to the lake.

[Mariah]

You didn't even like pack anything. You just used it as a. Yeah.

[Heath]

We just put our suitcases there.

[Ethan]

They were just a rental car and.

[Mariah]

It was a pickup truck. U Haul. So it's just a regular car that said U Haul. Oh, that's so, so, so easy.

So smart.

[Heath]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mariah]

I'm sure they get a lot of business like that too. They're like, we know people are doing this, but it's actually. Yeah, it's getting a. Rent it out, who cares? But like you're also driving a U Haul, so it's like kind of pro and con to it.

[Ethan]

I wonder if it gets to the point where so many U hauls end up piling into, like, certain areas and then they have to, like, ship them all back.

[Heath]

They definitely do that. Yeah. Especially with rental cars because you can drop that.

[Ethan]

Like, you don't have to take it back to the location. Like, I wonder, you know, they keep.

[Heath]

Like there's definitely probably a whole system they have figured out for it.

[Mariah]

No bathroom breaks. You're okay. You're good. You're good. I sensed it.

[Ethan]

I was about to, you know.

[Mariah]

You're good. We're almost done.

[Ethan]

I'll wait until they unwind.

[Mariah]

Yeah, yourself in this episode would be really funny. You get up. Imagine that clip.

He did what during this episode.

[Ethan]

He did what?

[Mariah]

Thumbnails.

[Heath]

Was he just.

[Ethan]

When was the last time you peed yourself?

[Heath]

I looked like I peed myself when I was watching Texas play one of the playoff games, go to the SEC championship because we had all of our beer sitting outside in the cold as a way to keep them cold and not in the refrigerator. But when you have one of those ones that's been outside in the cold, you open that. Like it just all in my crotch. Heavy, deep. And it was just wet everywhere. So it looked like I peed myself.

[Mariah]

Yes. Thank you.

Heads up folks. Interest rates are falling, but as of September 23, 2020, you can still lock in a 6% or higher yield with a bond [e-mail] that's a pretty big deal because when rates drop, so can the interest you earn on your cash. A bond account allows you to lock in a 6% or higher yield with a diversified portfolio of high yield and investment grade corporate bonds. So while other people are watching their returns shrink, you can sit back with regular interest payments. But you might want to act fast because your yield is not locked in until you invest. The good news? It only takes a couple of minutes to sign [e-mail] lock in a 6% or higher yield with a bond account [e-mail] brought to you by Public Investing member Finrat Sipc.

Lights are going up. Snow is falling down. There's a feeling of goodwill around town. It could only mean one thing. McRib is here. People throwing parties, ugly sweaters everywhere, stockings hung up by the chimney with carrot curls only mean one thing.

[Heath]

McRib is here at participating McDonald's for a limited time.

[Ethan]
