SPEAKER_04: 0:14

Hi.

SPEAKER_03: 0:15

Hello. Okay, so do you wanna eat those now?

SPEAKER_04: 0:19

Yeah, yeah. I don't want to be munching during the episode because it kind of sounds gross. I'll eat the chocolate, but I'm gonna complain the whole time. You know, plain milk chocolate I feel is underestimated, right?

SPEAKER_03: 0:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 0:36

It's still good. People are adding things to the chocolate all the time.

SPEAKER_03: 0:41

Yeah. Yeah, I I I'm I'm a I'm a plainer.

SPEAKER_04: 0:45

A player?

SPEAKER_03: 0:46

A plainer.

SPEAKER_04: 0:47

Plainer.

SPEAKER_03: 0:47

Plain nerd.

SPEAKER_04: 0:48

Plain nerd. Hmm.

SPEAKER_03: 0:49

Yeah, I like it plain, you know. I don't need much too much chocolate. Just the chocolate is good enough for me. Although some of them are pretty good, I have to say.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:02

D do you have favorites of the chocolate uh additions?

SPEAKER_04: 1:06

Hmm. Obviously peanut butter. Okay for me.

SPEAKER_03: 1:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:10

But I like the salt. The sea salt.

SPEAKER_03: 1:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 1:13

I like some nuts in my chocolate.

SPEAKER_03: 1:16

The Schweitzer Schwarzenegger nuts?

SPEAKER_04: 1:19

Yeah. I like his nuts in my chocolate.

SPEAKER_03: 1:24

Okay, yes.

SPEAKER_04: 1:25

Mm-hmm. They're pretty good.

SPEAKER_03: 1:27

Yeah. Yeah, I uh I agree. I like them too. I also like his nuts. In chocolate? In chocolate. Okay. What else? Okay, I I like the Oreo.

SPEAKER_04: 1:40

Mm-hmm. Oreos and chocolate is good.

SPEAKER_03: 1:42

I like that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:43

Oreos are good by themselves.

SPEAKER_03: 1:45

Yeah, that too. But in the chocolate.

SPEAKER_04: 1:47

I prefer to dip my Oreos in milk.

SPEAKER_03: 1:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 1:50

Same with my gingerbread cookies.

SPEAKER_03: 1:52

Yeah. But they're best dipped. Yeah, but the same with the Oreo chocolate. Do you dip that in milk?

SPEAKER_04: 2:00

Mm-hmm. Okay. No. No, I don't.

SPEAKER_03: 2:03

No. No. I like the strawberry ones.

SPEAKER_04: 2:06

Mm-hmm. Those are pretty good.

SPEAKER_03: 2:07

That's one of my favorites, I I must say. Then there are some like crackers things. I d I'm not sure what it is really.

SPEAKER_04: 2:17

Those I can live without.

SPEAKER_03: 2:18

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 2:19

I'll eat them. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not gonna turn them down, but they're not my first choice.

SPEAKER_03: 2:23

Okay. No, I've uh I I I think they're pretty good.

SPEAKER_04: 2:27

I'm not saying they're not.

SPEAKER_03: 2:28

No. I mean I rather have them uh over peanut butter.

SPEAKER_04: 2:32

And that's like the one difference between the two of us.

SPEAKER_03: 2:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 2:36

Along with the list of other things.

SPEAKER_03: 2:38

Yeah, that's true, true.

SPEAKER_04: 2:40

I'm funny. Yeah, yes, you are.

SPEAKER_03: 2:43

Yeah, that that's true.

SPEAKER_04: 2:47

That's also on the list.

SPEAKER_03: 2:48

Yeah, that's also on the list. It's debatable.

SPEAKER_04: 2:54

Sorry, I'm just being mean to you today. I'm sorry. It's okay. I can't help it.

SPEAKER_03: 2:59

No, it's okay. It's okay. You're gonna hear about it later, but no and save the drama for our uh trip.

SPEAKER_04: 3:07

The trip. Like, remember that one time when you said I'm not funny, and I don't like that. And now I'm stuck in the car with you for the next 30 hours, and it's all I'm gonna think about is when you said I wasn't funny. And I'm gonna s sit in the corner of the car and be all sad and be grumpy.

SPEAKER_03: 3:27

Depressed. Yeah. All the emotions.

SPEAKER_04: 3:30

So many of them.

SPEAKER_03: 3:32

Uh oh yeah. And also the nougat one, the chocolates. It's pretty good.

SPEAKER_04: 3:39

They're pretty good. Yeah. They're okay.

SPEAKER_03: 3:42

That's it for me.

SPEAKER_04: 3:43

That's it. That's the end. No, I think I wouldn't say no to pretty much any of them.

SPEAKER_03: 3:49

No.

SPEAKER_04: 3:49

Uh no licorice for me though. Yeah. I don't want them.

SPEAKER_03: 3:53

No, blah.

SPEAKER_04: 3:54

Blah?

SPEAKER_03: 3:55

Is it licorice or is it licorice?

SPEAKER_04: 3:58

You know what? I've always said licorice with the ish. Even though it's spelled like ish. Uh that's something I've never understood.

SPEAKER_03: 4:08

No, that word confuses me so much.

SPEAKER_04: 4:11

I think my mom said licorice. Okay. So I said licorice. And then I saw that it was spill spilled all over the floor. Oh no. And I was like, it looks like licorice. My mom says licorice. So I don't know what to think anymore.

SPEAKER_03: 4:27

Yeah, you're like, I'm not gonna lick that.

SPEAKER_04: 4:29

Ew, disgusting. It's black and gross. Looks like tar.

SPEAKER_03: 4:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 4:34

I don't eat that. No. I've never tried eating the road.

SPEAKER_03: 4:37

No, no. Neither have I.

SPEAKER_04: 4:39

No? Alright. You look like someone who would take a bite. Just to try. Just to see what would happen.

SPEAKER_03: 4:46

Yeah, put it in chocolate, maybe.

SPEAKER_04: 4:50

I've heard that this is good in chocolate.

SPEAKER_03: 4:53

Uh yeah. Yeah, I mean the thing is uh the word in Swedish is also a debate on how to pronounce.

SPEAKER_04: 5:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 5:03

Like we say lochlis uh licorice.

SPEAKER_04: 5:07

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 5:07

Yeah, but some people say laquis.

SPEAKER_04: 5:10

What? Okay. That was out of left field because I thought that you would pronounce the tea at the end, but you don't.

SPEAKER_03: 5:18

Uh no.

SPEAKER_04: 5:19

You didn't pronounce the tea either time.

SPEAKER_03: 5:22

No. Silent tea. Oh, by the way, I had tea today.

SPEAKER_04: 5:30

You didn't. This morning. Was it chai?

SPEAKER_03: 5:32

Chai.

SPEAKER_04: 5:33

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 5:34

And yeah, chai means tea. Who knew?

SPEAKER_04: 5:36

SPEAKER_03: 5:46

Not Chinese though.

SPEAKER_04: 5:47

I don't think no, that's not Chinese.

SPEAKER_03: 5:49

Is it Italian?

SPEAKER_04: 5:51

I think so. Yeah. Huh. Alright. So we've got Chinese Italian beverage.

SPEAKER_03: 5:58

Yeah, I think uh chai might be tea in Italian too. It's called chai in Greek too.

SPEAKER_04: 6:04

What about latte?

SPEAKER_03: 6:06

I I don't think that's uh milk. Or uh I don't think that's Greek.

SPEAKER_02: 6:11

Oh.

SPEAKER_03: 6:12

Yeah. You know the chocolate orange ice cream that I had today?

SPEAKER_02: 7:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 7:52

Yeah, meh. I mean that one almost tasted a little watered down to me.

SPEAKER_03: 8:13

This one is better.

SPEAKER_04: 8:14

This one is just like too much of the flavor. So I'm just I'm concerned. I think I'm becoming an adult. I don't care for it.

So um Matias. Yes. How are you doing?

SPEAKER_03: 9:42

I'm doing well. How are you?

SPEAKER_04: 9:44

I'm good.

SPEAKER_03: 9:45

Have you had a good day?

SPEAKER_04: 9:47

I have. I have.

SPEAKER_03: 9:50

Okay. Have you? Yeah. It's been pretty chill at work. Good. Hmm? So it was nice. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 9:56

Has it been like super busy lately? Yeah. Like previous days?

SPEAKER_03: 10:00

It has been busier ear earlier weeks. Mm-hmm after Black Friday. Previous weeks, but I'm working at the place where it's not much to do anymore. Because now we're more focusing on the private customers. And I'm not at that department right now.

SPEAKER_04: 10:19

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 10:20

But yeah, it was a good day.

SPEAKER_04: 10:22

Good.

SPEAKER_03: 10:22

Really nice.

SPEAKER_04: 10:23

Let's talk about last weekend.

SPEAKER_03: 10:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 10:26

Last Saturday I uh taught gymnastics.

SPEAKER_02: 10:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 10:30

And it went really well. Oh, good. Okay. I convinced my daughter to come with me because she's not in my group anymore. She does gymnastics for another team now. But I convinced her to come with me. And another one of my old gymnasts was convinced to join us that time as well, which was unexpected. So I got really excited. And it just went so well. I love my gymnast.

SPEAKER_01: 11:00

Good.

SPEAKER_04: 11:00

It is one of my favorite things to do at the moment is to teach these girls just new skills. And then the most rewarding part is when they just like throw back handsprings and such out of nowhere. When it just like kind of happens. Yeah. And is like amazing. And yeah, I get emotional over it.

SPEAKER_03: 11:26

Oh, okay. So you were crying?

SPEAKER_04: 11:28

Um, no, not at the moment, but I get like really excited, so I'm like, ah, okay, okay. Um and then I cry later. But it I don't know. For some reason it's become kind of an emotional thing because there's a background here, okay? Because when I was growing up and doing gymnastics and stuff, um, I had a huge fear of going backwards, okay? It was a mental block. I could do it, I could do the back hand springs and stuff, you know, flickies and everything. But I had a mental block that just stopped me. It made me look really bad. But my mom always supported me and she uh did like literally everything to help me, you know, get past it. I never really did get past it until I mean even now, I I can it's easier for me now to go backwards, but it can't be like whenever I have to like be in a certain state of mind, you know? So seeing these girls be able to do the things that I couldn't do, it just it makes me really proud. And it just makes me think of my mom a lot.

SPEAKER_01: 12:47

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 12:48

And how she was like always there, and I know that she would be really proud of me. So that's what I did on Saturday.

SPEAKER_01: 12:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 12:58

Also, I I don't know what else I did on Saturday. I think I worked. I think I worked last weekend at some point. I don't really remember when, but yeah, maybe. I don't know. Anyway, I also watched movies with my life partner that evening.

SPEAKER_03: 13:14

So yeah. That's nice.

SPEAKER_04: 13:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 13:16

Yeah. I don't know. I didn't I don't think I did much on Saturday. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 13:21

I don't think I saw you.

SPEAKER_03: 13:23

No, I don't think so either. Anyway. Anyway, uh well I I think I was just editing. Mm-hmm. Because I tend to do that a lot now.

SPEAKER_04: 13:33

Yeah. Uh but you did things on Sunday.

SPEAKER_03: 13:36

On Sunday I did things. Okay. Yes. So Sunday, me and my family, my mom and dad and sister, uh her daughter, my niece.

SPEAKER_01: 13:47

Yes.

SPEAKER_03: 13:48

Uh we went to my cousin and uh visited. And yeah, it was nice. We went there, had FICA, watched TV, looked at his place and everything, you know. Uh met other people there, and then uh after that we went and we ate out. I had a pizza.

SPEAKER_04: 14:09

You ate pizza.

SPEAKER_03: 14:10

I ate pizza. Alright. And you wanna know the best part of this?

SPEAKER_04: 14:14

Sure.

SPEAKER_03: 14:15

Is that uh they were making my pizza but it got a little too burnt. So they made another one.

SPEAKER_04: 14:21

You got two pizzas.

SPEAKER_03: 14:22

Then I got the other the burnt one to take home. So I ate that uh the day after. Nice.

SPEAKER_04: 14:30

You got two pizzas. That's nice.

SPEAKER_03: 14:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 14:34

Should be like you need to make mistakes more often. Yeah. Let's see. Sunday. Okay, so I don't know if you remember, but last episode I was talking about I um hurt myself while dancing. Right?

SPEAKER_01: 14:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 14:51

Okay, so by Sunday it had gotten better, right? I could walk and everything felt pretty okay. It felt like it was going away. And then I went grocery shopping and it started coming back. I was like, okay, let's see uh where this goes. Because I was planning on going to gymnastics later.

SPEAKER_02: 15:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 15:14

And then I was thinking, well, it's starting to come back a bit. I mean, this pain in my calf. And um, yeah, uh, I don't know. I'll see what happens. So uh despite my life partner saying, no, stay home because you're hurting, I still went to gymnastics.

SPEAKER_01: 15:33

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 15:34

And um, yeah, it had gotten worse, and I tried like doing a couple flips on the trampoline thing, and my entire calf tightened up to the point where it was like a rock, and I was supposed to run and jump on the trampoline, and I could not get the speed. So I was like doing a half run and then like just jumping onto the trampoline and jumping down again. Yeah. Because I had zero height with the speed that I I had.

SPEAKER_02: 16:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 16:14

So I had to sit out for the rest of the time. And I was like, I don't really want to go home. I came all this way to do two flips, and I don't know. So I sat and I watched for the rest of the time.

SPEAKER_00: 16:30

Yeah, so you couldn't do anything.

SPEAKER_04: 16:32

I could not do anything because it was it hurt so bad. And I was just at first I was like really frustrated. It was like, really? Why? Why does this have to happen? Yeah. Why me? And then I kind of got over it and I just I like to watch as well. Um, which is what makes me want to participate.

SPEAKER_02: 16:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 16:57

After you know, watching like I can do that too. I'm gonna show you that I can do that. Yeah. But it's also good like training as a leader or gymnastics coach to like be able to watch them and see what they're doing wrong and how they could have done it better.

SPEAKER_00: 17:15

Okay, yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 17:16

So yeah, I I used it as a learning opportunity instead of being frustrated the entire evening. Of course, I'm sad, but it was okay. And then I went home. I did leave uh before everyone else. Yeah. Because I was just like, I I have to go home. I'm in so much pain. I can't be here anymore. Uh but yeah, that was my Sunday.

SPEAKER_03: 17:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 17:43

And so yeah, this week I've just been taking it easy, trying to rest my leg so I can come back and continue doing the things I like to do.

SPEAKER_02: 17:57

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 17:58

So I mean, you I haven't even really done homework out this week. It's been homework on the couch.

SPEAKER_03: 18:07

Yeah, okay. Uh I um uh I mean, I I've been to work this week, but uh I've been so tired the entire week.

SPEAKER_04: 18:18

Day shift.

SPEAKER_03: 18:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 18:19

Yep. I got my hair done on Tuesday.

SPEAKER_03: 18:22

Yeah, that's true.

SPEAKER_04: 18:23

Um, my daughter and I went to the salon and we got our hair colored. It was the first time my daughter got permanent hair coloring. Okay. And she uh went blonde. And she was already like a strawberry blonde-ish. Yeah. But now she's a brighter blonde. And but it it kind of looks cool because her old color still kind of comes through. So it looks like there's highlights of her old color instead of the blonde highlights. It's kind of cool. I like it. My hair is a little bit darker than I wanted it to be, but it's still okay. What do you think?

SPEAKER_03: 19:02

It looks nice. Good.

SPEAKER_04: 19:04

Is it too dark? Uh well, in here it's dark.

SPEAKER_03: 19:08

Yeah, yeah, I know. I don't know if it's a big deal.

SPEAKER_04: 19:10

I'm assuming that you looked before.

SPEAKER_03: 19:13

I did. Uh I don't know if it's too dark. It's it looks good.

SPEAKER_04: 19:17

Does it look okay on me? Yeah. Okay. Cause I wasn't expecting going on vacation with darker hair.

SPEAKER_03: 19:24

But I I mean, I've seen darker.

SPEAKER_04: 19:26

Yes, I have been black before. Yeah. Well, my hair was black. Yeah. Uh it's a time in my life I was black. No, uh. It's also been blue. It's been a very bright blue.

SPEAKER_03: 19:44

I remember that.

SPEAKER_04: 19:45

That was fun. And my life partner was mentioning maybe bringing that back.

SPEAKER_03: 19:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 19:50

I was like, that was a cool color.

SPEAKER_03: 19:52

That was like before we were friends.

SPEAKER_04: 19:56

It was. It was in like twenty seventeen. 2018-ish.

SPEAKER_03: 20:01

Yeah, because you you had that when I got back to work.

SPEAKER_04: 20:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 20:06

And that was 2018.

SPEAKER_04: 20:08

It was Christmas time. Yeah. So I had like the blue silverish hair, which is what we were talking about. Maybe I should do that again. Maybe. We'll see. I don't know. It was fun. But like I said, I'm an adult now. So maybe I'm too old for these things.

SPEAKER_03: 20:24

Yeah, maybe you are. You should just have gray hair.

SPEAKER_04: 20:27

I think so. You know what? I'm gonna skip everything. I'm just gonna go straight to silver.

SPEAKER_02: 20:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 20:33

Yeah. I mean, some people do that and it looks pretty good. Or white. Some people. White might be fun. And then I can do whatever I want.

SPEAKER_01: 20:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 20:42

If I bleach it so much that it turns white, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03: 20:46

No. Sounds sounds like a good idea, I think.

SPEAKER_04: 20:49

It's also kind of a form of rebellion because my mom never let me dye my hair. I wasn't allowed. Yeah. She was like, you're not allowed to grow old. I was like, alright, fine. She's like, you're not allowed to dye your hair either. I was like, okay. And I do that now. I dye my hair just because she said, no. And you know what? I let my daughter dye her hair just because my mom told me I couldn't.

SPEAKER_00: 21:14

Oh, okay, okay, okay.

SPEAKER_04: 21:15

I'm an adult now. I do what I want. Can't tell me what to do. So that's something that happened this week. Yeah. I mean, I haven't really done that much because of my leg. I've been healing this week.

SPEAKER_00: 21:28

It's the same for me.

SPEAKER_04: 21:29

I've been healing. Healing. Yeah. Your mind, your body, and your soul.

SPEAKER_03: 21:34

Yeah, I I tried to heal my brain because I'm so tired.

SPEAKER_04: 21:37

Yeah, that didn't work. No, no. No. Give it a couple days.

SPEAKER_03: 21:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 21:42

Um, alright. Well, do you have anything else?

SPEAKER_03: 21:45

Uh no.

SPEAKER_04: 21:46

I feel like I probably should have had something else. Oh yeah. Last weekend we made the gingerbread houses. You and I both ordered I'm sorry. You ordered two boxes of gingerbread houses and gave one to me.

SPEAKER_02: 22:03

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 22:03

Right?

SPEAKER_02: 22:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 22:05

And we expected them to be like one big gingerbread house, but it ended up being a whole bunch of little gingerbread houses.

SPEAKER_03: 22:12

Okay. I I never touched it.

SPEAKER_04: 22:14

You haven't opened it yet. No. You're free to open it whenever.

SPEAKER_03: 22:17

Yeah, I know, but I have other things to do.

SPEAKER_04: 22:20

You can still eat and I think I edit at the same time.

SPEAKER_03: 22:25

I think I might just eat it, yes. And not building. You don't have to. No. You are I'm an adult. No, I'm I'm a kid. You're a kid. I don't want to build.

SPEAKER_04: 22:35

But you bought it, so you do whatever you want with it.

SPEAKER_03: 22:37

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_04: 22:38

Okay. So that was that.

SPEAKER_03: 22:41

That was that.

SPEAKER_04: 22:42

Oh my god. I completely forgot about Saturday. No, I did talk about Saturday, but that's not all that happened on Saturday.

SPEAKER_02: 22:49

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 22:50

My son, when I got back home from gymnastics on Saturday, uh, my son, my oldest son, decided that he wanted to go to the mall.

SPEAKER_02: 23:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 23:02

In Stockholm.

SPEAKER_02: 23:03

Oh.

SPEAKER_04: 23:03

SPEAKER_03: 25:08

We did. And apparently that's a tradition now.

SPEAKER_04: 25:12

Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 25:14

I just made it one.

SPEAKER_04: 25:15

Right, because the first Christmas episode we had the Aladdin box. Did we have another one? Or what did we do in last Christmas?

SPEAKER_00: 25:26

I don't remember.

SPEAKER_04: 25:27

Anyway, it is December 12th.

SPEAKER_00: 25:29

Yes.

SPEAKER_04: 25:30

And we watched movies.

SPEAKER_00: 25:32

We did.

SPEAKER_04: 25:33

Would you like to move on?

SPEAKER_00: 25:35

Let's move on.

SPEAKER_04: 25:37

Okay. So tonight we watched Mighty Ducks 2.

SPEAKER_00: 25:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 25:41

And Lethal Weapon.

SPEAKER_03: 25:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 25:43

So please tell me about Mighty Ducks 2.

SPEAKER_03: 25:46

Yes. This uh is a movie with Emilio Esteves uh playing Gordon Bombay. He doesn't like Iceland, so he wants to beat them in a hockey game. So he gathers all his uh previous hockey players from the last movie, and then he adds some new ones. Keenan Thompson?

SPEAKER_04: 26:06

Oh yeah, from Keenan and Cal.

SPEAKER_03: 26:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 26:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 26:08

And SNL.

SPEAKER_04: 26:10

Have you have you heard of all that?

SPEAKER_03: 26:12

I've heard of it, but You didn't you never saw it?

SPEAKER_04: 26:15

No. With Amanda? Amanda Bynes. Bynes. Right. I think that's where Rosie O'Donnell was.

SPEAKER_03: 26:23

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04: 26:24

I think that's what I was thinking of. I think she had a segment on that show. I could be wrong. Because I didn't really get to watch it that much.

SPEAKER_02: 26:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 26:36

But I remember that it was something that I wanted to see.

SPEAKER_02: 26:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 26:42

Anyway, that was way off topic. Yeah. But um yes. Okay. Go ahead.

SPEAKER_03: 26:49

So yeah, uh, he gathers the uh hockey team to beat the Iceland people. Because they're evil.

SPEAKER_04: 26:56

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_03: 26:57

Kind of.

SPEAKER_04: 26:57

Yeah, they were competing internationally.

SPEAKER_03: 27:01

Yes. In this movie, he doesn't make them worse, he just makes them better.

SPEAKER_01: 27:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 27:07

And uh Keenan Thompson has a special move that's kind of funny and cool.

SPEAKER_01: 27:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 27:13

Yeah. Yeah, that's it. Uh did I forget something?

SPEAKER_04: 27:17

Mm. I'm not sure. I don't think so. I think that's pretty good. Yeah. Oh, he he gets a little greedy as well.

SPEAKER_03: 27:25

Oh yeah. He likes the commercial stuff a little too much.

SPEAKER_04: 27:30

So maybe if the team did get a little worse, it was because of that.

SPEAKER_03: 27:35

He lost focus. But it was an intentional like in the last movie.

SPEAKER_04: 27:40

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 27:41

Yes, that's true. Good point. Um, yeah, and that was that.

SPEAKER_04: 27:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 27:46

Uh so what did you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_04: 27:49

I enjoyed this movie. I uh um I liked the new characters that came in. Yeah. And I liked that Iceland was the bad guys because that just makes sense. But I don't I don't want to say too much bad about Iceland because for some reason I'm like all superstitious now. Yeah. I I feel like uh I don't want to say too many bad things about things that may come.

SPEAKER_03: 28:17

Yeah, exactly. That can yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 28:20

I don't need any karma coming at me here.

SPEAKER_03: 28:23

For reals though, I feel like uh Iceland is a pretty good and uh neutral country.

SPEAKER_04: 28:30

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 28:30

Uh did you hear that, God?

SPEAKER_04: 28:33

Iceland, can you hear me? You're not that bad.

SPEAKER_03: 28:40

So yes. What did you say about this movie? You liked it.

SPEAKER_04: 28:43

It was good.

SPEAKER_03: 28:44

It was good.

SPEAKER_04: 28:44

It was good. What did what how did you um what did you think about the movie?

SPEAKER_03: 28:51

How did you like it?

SPEAKER_04: 28:52

How did you think about the movie? What?

SPEAKER_03: 28:56

Uh how I thought about the movie.

SPEAKER_01: 28:58

Well, first.

SPEAKER_03: 29:00

Uh no, uh I I liked it, but I st I preferred the first one. Uh thought that was a little bit better, but uh I usually like the second ones, but not this time. But I still like the movie. It was entertaining. There was a referee guy who reminded me a little bit of Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_04: 29:22

Oh yeah. He at first he looked a little bit like Donald Trump. A younger one.

SPEAKER_03: 29:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 29:28

And then you could tell it wasn't him.

SPEAKER_03: 29:31

Exactly. But uh like last week you saw all different kinds of actors. Um did you see any actors?

SPEAKER_04: 29:39

Daniel LaRusso. I saw him. Oh yeah. Um, yeah. Uh what's his name? Michael. No. What's his name?

SPEAKER_03: 29:47

Michael?

SPEAKER_04: 29:48

Who who no, not Michael, but um Daniel LaRusso.

SPEAKER_03: 29:52

Oh, uh Ralph Macho? Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 29:56

Yeah. It was him. And also uh the movie started off like karate kid.

SPEAKER_03: 30:01

Yeah, it did. He hurt his knee. Yeah. It was like money.

SPEAKER_04: 30:08

Money. Um but I mean they where were they? Where was the tournament? It wasn't in Iceland.

SPEAKER_03: 30:19

No, I don't know where it was, but they flew there.

SPEAKER_04: 30:22

They flew somewhere. Yeah. So, I mean, in the second karate kid, he flew to Japan. Yeah. And this one, they flew somewhere else to meet foreign people. So I'm still comparing it to karate kids.

SPEAKER_03: 30:41

Yeah. Makes sense.

SPEAKER_04: 30:43

Mm.

SPEAKER_03: 30:43

I yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 30:44

And there was a kid who looked like karate. A little Daniel LaRusso or Ralph McMurk Marchio.

SPEAKER_03: 30:53

Mark Mark. MacMark.

SPEAKER_04: 30:54

Mark Mark. Okay. Yeah. Anything else?

SPEAKER_03: 30:57

Uh no, I don't think so.

SPEAKER_04: 31:00

Alright, then I'm gonna tell you about Lethal Weapon.

SPEAKER_03: 31:04

Yes.

SPEAKER_04: 31:04

Something I failed to mention last week with the movie that we watched. We watched Cobra.

SPEAKER_02: 31:11

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 31:11

It was a Christmas movie. Lethal Weapon is also a Christmas movie. Yes. Because it's set in Christmas. And it's a movie with uh Mel Gibson and Danny Glover is in this movie. Yeah. And um they are cops, and Mel Gibson is a bit suicidal, so it makes him a little crazy, uh risky, but he's really good at shooting. And uh Gary Busey is in this movie. Yeah. And he's a bad guy.

SPEAKER_00: 31:46

Oh yes.

SPEAKER_04: 31:46

And so they are trying to solve a mystery about how or a murder. Murder mystery. Yes. And um Gary Busey is behind everything. And they beat up some bad guys. Well, they mostly shoot at them.

SPEAKER_02: 32:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 32:07

And that's what happened.

SPEAKER_02: 32:09

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 32:09

There was a helicopter as well.

SPEAKER_02: 32:11

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 32:12

Alright, I think that's all I have to say about that. What do you think about this movie? And also what did I miss?

SPEAKER_03: 32:20

Um I feel like you got the story right and everything.

SPEAKER_02: 32:26

Cool.

SPEAKER_03: 32:27

Yeah. And I um did I and do I like this movie?

SPEAKER_02: 32:31

Do you?

SPEAKER_03: 32:31

Uh I kinda do. I kinda love this movie so much.

SPEAKER_04: 32:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 32:36

Actually. Uh I uh it's oh I I don't know uh it's it's so difficult for me when I love movies so much to, you know, explain how much I actually do.

SPEAKER_04: 32:50

Okay. I'm gonna ask why. Why do you love this movie?

SPEAKER_03: 32:54

Um, because it um um I really like the buddy cop movies and this one sets the bar so high for it and I it has uh yeah, I I think that this is the best franchise, one of the best franchises I know, movie franchise. Uh and um not spoiled too much about the but I feel like it has a pretty good quality consistency. It's good from the first movie to the last.

SPEAKER_04: 33:28

Uh all of them. All of them are there's like four?

SPEAKER_03: 33:31

Four. Okay. And uh yeah, I usually there are some franchises that just dip solo and it's like uh I'm not not worth them. Yeah. Not worth watching them. This franchise, I feel like it keeps the quality. I love all these movies. So I think that's also part of it. I mean I sure it has flaws. It's like in this movie, you know, the fight at the end with Mel Gibson and Gary Busey. Uh-huh. It's a little bit shaky and close up so you don't really see everything. But that's a nitpick and uh I still love the movie.

SPEAKER_04: 34:08

Also, the lighting was a little iffy because you couldn't really see all the time what exactly what was going on. What exactly what what what exactly was going on.

SPEAKER_03: 34:22

No, yeah, in the fight, you mean Right. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 34:25

And uh So it could have been a little bit brighter.

SPEAKER_03: 34:28

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 34:29

Even though it was a night scene. So I don't know. Usually they figure that out.

SPEAKER_03: 34:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 34:34

But maybe there was a choice.

SPEAKER_03: 34:37

Maybe. And I mean it was also uh wet, so that also made it more difficult to see. But I still love this movie. Uh and it's set at Christmas. I have a thing for that too. Movies set at Christmas, I really like them. And it has nice Christmas songs, and yeah, I I feel this one is um very Christmassy too. Like I said during the movie, fun fact that the weapon Mel Gibson has in this movie is the exact same weapon Bruce Willis has in Die Hard.

SPEAKER_04: 35:10

Yeah. Which is also a Christmas movie?

SPEAKER_03: 35:12

Yeah, it is.

SPEAKER_04: 35:13

According to you?

SPEAKER_03: 35:14

Yeah, according to me. And uh this one as well. I I kind of prefer this one over Die Hard though.

SPEAKER_04: 35:21

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_03: 35:22

I'm one of those. That's what I have to say right now. What do you think about this movie?

SPEAKER_04: 35:28

I enjoyed the movie as well.

SPEAKER_03: 35:31

Good.

SPEAKER_04: 35:31

There was a lot that was going on. It was good.

SPEAKER_03: 35:35

Yeah, also I think it's the chemistry between Mel Gibson and Danny Glover.

SPEAKER_04: 35:40

Yeah, I like Mel Gibson's character in this one. He was he was fun.

SPEAKER_03: 35:45

Yeah, him and Danny Glover, they're so perfect together. And I like uh Danny Glover's character too. A family man, you know. You know, teaming up with this young loose canon.

SPEAKER_04: 35:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 35:59

Yeah. Such a good premise. So yeah, I love this movie.

SPEAKER_04: 36:03

Good. Anything else?

SPEAKER_03: 36:05

No. Do you have anything else to say about the movie?

SPEAKER_04: 36:07

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_03: 36:08

No.

SPEAKER_04: 36:08

I think that feels pretty good. Alright. Well, then we'll go for a break. Yeah, that's all right. Stick around for the next part because it's gonna be fun.

SPEAKER_02: 36:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 36:20

Right? Alright.

SPEAKER_02: 36:21

I hope so.

SPEAKER_04: 36:22

Yeah, no, it will. Okay. No, you gotta trust me.

SPEAKER_03: 36:25

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 36:25

Okay. Would you like to take a break?

SPEAKER_03: 36:27

Let's take a break.

SPEAKER_04: 36:28

We'll be right back. Alright, we're back. Sorry. And we're back. We are. I didn't mean to steal your your thunder. Your light.

SPEAKER_03: 36:49

Thunder and lightning.

SPEAKER_04: 36:51

I didn't mean to steal any of your stormy traits. Uh yes, we are back.

SPEAKER_03: 36:58

We are.

SPEAKER_04: 36:59

And I have a special gift for you. Okay, cool. Yes. It is a very fun second half of the episode.

SPEAKER_03: 37:10

Awesome.

SPEAKER_04: 37:10

And it's Christmas themed. Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 37:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 37:14

Just in time for our karaoke night for Man Libs.

SPEAKER_02: 37:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 37:20

Tomorrow. Which already happened. Oh, yeah. By the time everyone hears this. So, Christmas karaoke themed second half.

SPEAKER_02: 37:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 37:29

I would like to break down the twelve days of Christmas.

SPEAKER_03: 37:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 37:34

For you.

SPEAKER_03: 37:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 37:35

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 37:36

One song.

SPEAKER_04: 37:37

Just the one song. And I want to tell you everything about it. Good. Everything that I learned. Okay. And then some. Okay, so brought to you by Open Eyes, because I can't come up with anything myself. No. Okay, so the twelve days of Christmas. What each day represents?

SPEAKER_03: 37:58

Mm-hmm. Uh so I I have a question though.

SPEAKER_04: 38:01

Already? Okay. Yeah. I haven't said any.

SPEAKER_03: 38:04

I mean, uh, is are those from like today or tomorrow from 13?

SPEAKER_04: 38:12

I think so, because today is number 12.

SPEAKER_03: 38:15

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 38:16

So we would technically be working backwards.

SPEAKER_03: 38:20

Yes. Because uh in Sweden we have this calendar with 24 uh yeah, from the start of December until Christmas Eve.

SPEAKER_04: 38:30

Right. So I I think that we're already starting the 12 days of Christmas now.

SPEAKER_03: 38:35

Okay, that's perfect.

SPEAKER_04: 38:37

Yeah. Look at us being cool.

SPEAKER_03: 38:40

Yeah, it's like we planned this.

SPEAKER_04: 38:42

Almost. Okay, so officially the song itself is just a cumulative Christmas carol. There is no original religious or symbolic meaning documented. It's basically a humorous, memory, and counting song from the 1700s.

SPEAKER_03: 38:59

Oh.

SPEAKER_04: 39:00

Yeah. So old.

SPEAKER_03: 39:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 39:02

It's that old.

SPEAKER_03: 39:03

It's an old one.

SPEAKER_04: 39:05

However, over time people have attached symbolic interpretations, usually Christian. Even though historians say these weren't original to the song. So we're gonna go through the gifts and their literal meaning and the common but not original symbolic interpretation.

SPEAKER_03: 39:28

Yeah. So let me guess. This is gonna be 12 points or Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 39:33

Yes. Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 39:34

Or are you gonna repeat them later? Like in the song? Maybe.

SPEAKER_04: 39:39

There might be a little repetition here.

SPEAKER_03: 39:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 39:42

So the first day of Christmas was a partridge in a pear tree. Pear tree.

SPEAKER_00: 39:48

Okay, what's the the fruit? Partridge partridge.

SPEAKER_04: 39:52

A partridge is a bird sitting in a fruit tree.

SPEAKER_00: 39:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 39:56

Um, which is supposed to represent Jesus. Uh The pear tree is supposed to be a cross and the partridge is protective love. Okay. Okay. Uh and Jesus, I guess, is a bird.

SPEAKER_03: 40:10

So yeah, okay. So someone nailed the bird to the tree?

SPEAKER_04: 40:15

Yeah. An act of love.

SPEAKER_03: 40:18

I love you, bird.

unknown: 40:20

Oh god.

SPEAKER_04: 40:22

Okay. The second day of Christmas was two turtle doves, which is they're a pair of doves.

SPEAKER_01: 40:29

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04: 40:30

Which represents the old and new testaments.

SPEAKER_03: 40:34

Okay, I'm thinking there are turtles with wings.

SPEAKER_04: 40:38

Yes. That's what a turtle dove is, I think. Uh turtles who want to fly. It's like, oh, there's a there's a character in Mario, the Mario World. Where it's a turtle with wings.

SPEAKER_03: 40:52

That's true. Yeah. Okay, that's a turtle dove.

SPEAKER_04: 40:55

He's a turtle dove.

SPEAKER_03: 40:56

Makes sense now.

SPEAKER_04: 40:57

The third day of Christmas. You brought three French hens. They're fancy chickens.

SPEAKER_03: 41:02

Yeah, French hens.

SPEAKER_04: 41:04

They're French.

SPEAKER_03: 41:05

What's uh hen in French? Le hen. Le hen.

SPEAKER_04: 41:10

Le hen. Le hen. Yeah. I don't I don't quite remember if I learned it's uh Aloette. It's a bird. I don't know. They're fancy chickens, and they represent faith, hope, and charity.

SPEAKER_03: 41:28

So they say ha ha ha ha.

SPEAKER_04: 41:30

Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, that's what they do. Okay. Number four. Four calling birds. And they're songbirds.

SPEAKER_03: 41:39

There's a lot of birds. Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 41:41

I'm gonna get to that. I'm getting there.

SPEAKER_03: 41:44

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 41:44

All the things you're gonna say, I'm gonna mention later. Okay. Okay. So the calling birds are songbirds, and they represent four gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. So these birds have names.

SPEAKER_03: 41:57

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 41:57

So they should have been the Beatles.

SPEAKER_03: 42:00

Yeah, I'm thinking so too.

SPEAKER_04: 42:01

Why aren't the birds named John Paul Ringo? Paul Ringo. Yeah, that would make more sense.

SPEAKER_03: 42:09

Yeah, and uh so they're to me it sounds like they're birds on the phone.

SPEAKER_04: 42:15

Yeah, they're calling each other. It's the Beatles in a four-way phone call. Yeah. Also singing to each other over the phone.

SPEAKER_03: 42:25

Do Beatles have a song where they call each other?

SPEAKER_04: 42:28

You know my name? Look up the number. I don't know. That's all I've got for that.

SPEAKER_03: 42:34

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 42:35

Uh five golden rings.

SPEAKER_03: 42:37

Okay, that's not a bird.

SPEAKER_04: 42:39

Wait, not jewelry.

SPEAKER_03: 42:41

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 42:42

It is originally ring-necked pheasants. Birds again.

SPEAKER_02: 42:47

Ah.

SPEAKER_04: 42:48

So they're supposed to represent the first five books of the Old Testament.

SPEAKER_01: 42:53

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04: 42:53

More birds. Okay. Six. Geese laying. Yes. Which are egg-laying geese. And they're supposed to represent six days of creation.

SPEAKER_03: 43:03

Yeah, or just lazy geese.

SPEAKER_04: 43:05

Lazy geese. And last I knew, creation does not require six days. It takes like two minutes.

SPEAKER_03: 43:13

What? What did you say?

SPEAKER_04: 43:14

Creation. Ah, okay. It takes about two minutes. Not six days. Okay. Unless you're really working for it.

unknown: 43:23

Alright.

SPEAKER_04: 43:24

Seven swans of swimming are swans on water. They represent seven gifts of the Holy Spirit.

SPEAKER_03: 43:33

Yeah, I don't have anything any comments for that.

SPEAKER_04: 43:36

Cool. Eight maids of milking, which are women working, and they represent eight beatitudes.

SPEAKER_03: 43:45

Okay, that's birds.

SPEAKER_04: 43:47

They're not birds, they are women.

SPEAKER_03: 43:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 43:51

Nine ladies dancing, more women.

SPEAKER_03: 43:53

Okay, so now it m jumps over to women.

SPEAKER_04: 43:56

To people. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 43:58

So no-before it was birds, now it's people. Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 44:02

Now we've got dancers. They represent nine fruits of the spirit. Uh what are these fruits? Can you name nine fruits?

SPEAKER_03: 44:10

N nine fruits. Yeah. Which Okay, apple, pears, oranges, mango, banana. Is that a fruit?

SPEAKER_04: 44:18

Sure. We'll say it.

SPEAKER_03: 44:20

How many was that? Five. Five. Four more.

SPEAKER_04: 44:22

Yeah. What are your favorites?

SPEAKER_03: 44:24

Kiwi. And uh peaches. Peach. Two more. Two more. Two more. Umur. I need tumor.

SPEAKER_04: 44:38

Two more.

SPEAKER_03: 44:40

Yeah, okay. Papaya.

SPEAKER_04: 44:41

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03: 44:42

And the last one, of course, is Come on, you got this. What am I missing?

SPEAKER_04: 44:49

Pizza.

SPEAKER_03: 44:50

Oh, is that a fruit? No, pineapple. Yes.

SPEAKER_04: 44:54

Good job.

SPEAKER_03: 44:56

Thank you.

SPEAKER_04: 44:57

Alright. Ten Lords Aleaping.

SPEAKER_03: 45:00

Did I uh answer the fruits uh correctly?

SPEAKER_04: 45:04

Yeah. That was nine fruits of the spirit.

SPEAKER_03: 45:07

Okay, so those are the actual because I I'm that good.

SPEAKER_04: 45:11

Those are the fruits of the spirit. Oh cool. Yes. All nine of them. Ten Lords Aleaping are noble men who are jumping.

SPEAKER_03: 45:19

Okay, now it's men.

SPEAKER_04: 45:21

Yeah, and they represent Ten Commandments.

SPEAKER_03: 45:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 45:24

Eleven Pipers Piping are musicians. And they represent eleven faithful apostles.

SPEAKER_03: 45:33

It sounds like plumbers to me.

SPEAKER_04: 45:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 45:36

It's Mario and his friends.

SPEAKER_04: 45:38

That could be Mario.

SPEAKER_03: 45:39

And then that makes sense with the turtle dove. Yeah. They they meet somewhere there. Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_04: 45:47

And twelve drummers drumming, which are drummers, and they represent twelve points of the apostles' creed.

SPEAKER_03: 45:55

Okay, so Ringo is one.

SPEAKER_04: 45:57

Yeah. He's one of them.

SPEAKER_03: 46:00

Yeah. That's the important one.

SPEAKER_04: 46:02

Also, so why all the birds?

SPEAKER_03: 46:04

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_04: 46:05

Because the early verses of the song date back to a time when birds were luxury gifts, like giving someone a purebred dog today. Uh birds were food. Partridges, hens, pheasants, geese, and swans were all part of noble or festive meals.

SPEAKER_03: 46:23

Okay. No turkeys?

SPEAKER_04: 46:25

I guess not. They didn't eat turkeys yet. The song likely began as a party game where players tried to remember a growing list. Birds were easy and funny items to stack. Uh there are 23 birds by t day six and almost thirty by the end, depending on the version. So it's a total of 28 birds. And what are you supposed to do with all these birds?

SPEAKER_03: 46:53

I don't know.

SPEAKER_04: 46:54

Historically, you eat them. They were festive poultry.

SPEAKER_03: 46:58

Yeah, I would say that's a lot of birds.

SPEAKER_04: 47:00

Uh, in modern interpretation, you would need a large backyard, a bird sanctuary license, a noise ordinance exemption, and possibly several apologies to your neighbors.

SPEAKER_03: 47:14

Yeah, I have uh an idea what you can do with the birds. You can flip them at people.

SPEAKER_04: 47:20

Flip them.

SPEAKER_03: 47:20

Yeah, flipping the birds at people.

SPEAKER_04: 47:22

Oh, okay. Alright. Practically speaking, many people joke the true love is either trolling you or trying to start a poultry farm in your yard, or proving affection in the least practical way possible. So what is the purpose of all the gifts in the song? Yeah, possibly a cumulative memory game in which each verse adds a new item, and the singer must repeat the entire list of perfectly. But it's not originally symbolic or anything like that. It's not originally a Christian song.

SPEAKER_02: 48:01

No, okay.

SPEAKER_04: 48:02

So all of those representations were made up later.

SPEAKER_02: 48:07

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 48:08

Okay. So I wanted to know about the origin of the song, who wrote it, and like when, and everything about whoever came up with this. And apparently the original author is unknown.

SPEAKER_01: 48:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 48:24

It's a first appearance was in print in 1780 in London. The source is a children's book titled Mirth Without Mischief.

SPEAKER_01: 48:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 48:36

It's a very old book. But the earliest version wasn't even printed with music. It appeared as a recitation game.

SPEAKER_03: 48:46

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 48:46

Not quite a song. So originally it wasn't even a song.

SPEAKER_03: 48:50

Even more boring.

SPEAKER_04: 48:52

Right.

SPEAKER_03: 48:53

I mean, I'm not saying that the song is boring, it's just very repetitive.

SPEAKER_04: 48:58

Right. But the melody does have a known source.

SPEAKER_03: 49:03

Okay, cool.

SPEAKER_04: 49:04

The modern tune and structure was arranged by Frederick Austin, an English composer and baritone. But I think he was just a composer when it came to this song. I don't think he actually sang in any of the files on Spotify.

SPEAKER_01: 49:22

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 49:23

So this was 1909. So like 200 years later, right? After the original 12 Days of Christmas uh words.

SPEAKER_03: 49:36

Yeah, lists.

SPEAKER_04: 49:37

Yeah. Started.

SPEAKER_03: 49:40

That's such a weird idea. Oh, look at this old list. Hey, let's make a song out of it.

SPEAKER_04: 49:47

Yeah. And today's version is not exactly the original version.

SPEAKER_02: 49:55

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 49:56

Okay. So it's mostly the same, but the four calling birds were originally collie birds. C-O-L-L-Y. Okay. Which means black as coal. So they were blackbirds.

SPEAKER_03: 50:12

Oh, I I've heard a song about that.

SPEAKER_04: 50:15

Oh yeah. Blackbirds? By the Beatles.

SPEAKER_03: 50:18

Yeah. Okay. Or one blackbird.

SPEAKER_04: 50:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 50:21

Just to one.

SPEAKER_04: 50:22

And then, yeah, we had the five gold rings still, but they originally meant the ring-necked pheasants. Um the drummers were originally nine drummers drumming instead of twelve.

SPEAKER_02: 50:36

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 50:37

But now it's nine ladies dancing. And then the pipers were originally ten. Ten pipers piping. But today it's Lords a leaping.

SPEAKER_03: 50:49

Okay. How many pipers?

SPEAKER_04: 50:51

Uh there's ten pipers originally.

SPEAKER_03: 50:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 50:55

Eleven dancing ladies. And then twelve Lords a leaping. Okay. But now it's drummers drumming. So the ten, eleven, twelve or yeah, the nine, ten, eleven, twelve parts were mixed up.

SPEAKER_03: 51:09

Yeah, okay.

SPEAKER_04: 51:10

Uh so yeah, that's the original version, which I was hoping would be a lot more interesting and uh different, but that's not the case. The case, exactly. Alright, so honestly, these are all gifts from someone who is supposed to love you.

SPEAKER_03: 51:32

Yeah, and okay, yeah, thank you for all the birds and the women and men.

SPEAKER_04: 51:40

So I complained to open eyes. Okay. I said, honestly, I would leave my true love if he gave me all of these things. There's too many birds and people. And what if he leaves me for one of the Milky Maids?

SPEAKER_02: 51:54

Mm-hmm. Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 51:55

That was my word. Milky maids. And OpenEyes said, that's a completely fair reaction. By day eight, your home has turned into a chaotic mix of livestock, strangers, dancers, aristocrats, musicians, and poultry, but no evidence of basic communication skills from your true love. So number one, here is the bird situation alone is a red flag.

SPEAKER_03: 52:22

Yeah. Definitely.

SPEAKER_04: 52:24

By modern standards, receiving 28 birds means you're basically being forced into running a bird sanctuary, a petting zoo, a meat medieval banquet hall, or some kind of chaotic aviary-based MLM scheme. What is that? Do you know? MLM scheme.

SPEAKER_03: 52:45

It's not live mad libs, but if it was LML, then it would be like maybe they've uh uh screwed it up and meant that it's a live mad lib scheme.

SPEAKER_04: 52:58

Maybe. So you're absolutely justified in questioning the relationship at this point.

SPEAKER_03: 53:03

Yeah. Madlibs mmm.

SPEAKER_04: 53:06

Matias.

SPEAKER_03: 53:07

Yeah, madlibs Matthews. Of course. That's how people know me.

SPEAKER_04: 53:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 53:14

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 53:14

The maids of milking is a bigger red flag. Alright, so eight random women show up at your house ready to milk your cows, which you don't even own. Oh. And your true love didn't ask if you need a dairy staff.

SPEAKER_03: 53:30

No.

SPEAKER_04: 53:30

Didn't ask if you even drink milk.

SPEAKER_03: 53:33

No, maybe you can't you don't you can't drink milk. No.

SPEAKER_04: 53:38

Maybe you're What if you're lactose intolerant? That's what I was asking. Or you don't even have cows. They just came and they're like, We're here to milk your cows. And I'm like, I don't even have cows. And he didn't even clarify whether these maids are employees, volunteers, or a cult.

SPEAKER_03: 53:55

Slaves.

SPEAKER_04: 53:56

Right. You now have eight strangers living on your property. There is very little that screams, I respect boundaries here. And then the dancing ladies and leaping lords.

SPEAKER_03: 54:09

Mm-hmm. Okay, strippers. Right.

SPEAKER_04: 54:11

And uh um male streep streepers. Streepers. Streepers. Strippers. Yeah. Okay, by this point the household population is increasing exponentially. Because you've got nine dancers, ten leaping lords, ten eleven pipers, and twelve drummers. So your true love is essentially starting a renaissance fair in your living room without your consent.

SPEAKER_03: 54:38

And I'm thinking so many drummers. It's gonna be so loud.

SPEAKER_04: 54:42

So loud. And the piping? Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03: 54:44

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_04: 54:45

And so what if he leaves me for one of the milking maids?

SPEAKER_02: 54:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 54:49

So let's be real here. Okay? If he is the type to send you 28 birds and 40 plus hired performers and eight dairy employees without checking whether you want any of this, then leaving you for a milking maid is honestly among the least chaotic possibilities. So the bigger question is why does he have the phone number of eight available milking maids in the first place?

SPEAKER_02: 55:18

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 55:19

This is concerning. Also, the milking maids are probably too busy milking imaginary cows to date anyone.

SPEAKER_03: 55:28

Yeah. They're probably not milking the cows. Oh god. What I mean.

SPEAKER_04: 55:35

Oh my god. Yeah, okay, so the real relationship insight. This gift giving style suggests he's performing a fantasy instead of listening to your actual needs. He's showing off rather than connecting. He's giving chaos instead of care. A truly loving partner gives things you want, things that make your life easier, and maybe a nice dinner out. Not eight live humans and a flock of honking geese. In other words, you have every right to leave him. Even the partridge agrees.

SPEAKER_00: 56:13

Yeah. In the tree. In the tree. Nailed to the tree.

SPEAKER_04: 56:17

Nailed to the tree. So now we're going to write a breakup letter to my true love. Okay. We're ending this song.

SPEAKER_00: 56:25

So it's not really the true love.

SPEAKER_04: 56:27

He's not your true love. Because you didn't want any of this. No. And he doesn't care.

SPEAKER_00: 56:32

No.

SPEAKER_04: 56:33

He's just getting whatever he wants.

SPEAKER_00: 56:35

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 56:35

A bunch of birds.

SPEAKER_00: 56:36

Yeah, and say that it's for you.

SPEAKER_04: 56:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00: 56:39

So you're gonna be happy about it.

SPEAKER_04: 56:41

He's just trying to cover up all the ladies with the birds and all the other people so he can run off with them.

SPEAKER_00: 56:48

Yeah, look at the birds.

SPEAKER_04: 56:49

Yeah, look at the birds. I got you birds. Why? I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_00: 56:53

Flipping birds.

SPEAKER_04: 56:55

Alright. Here is my breakup letter to my true love. Yeah. Okay? Okay. Dear true love, because that's his name.

SPEAKER_02: 57:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 57:06

I never got the chance to ask his name. But he's my true love.

SPEAKER_03: 57:10

Yeah, I mean uh his first name is true. I think. Last name is Love.

SPEAKER_04: 57:15

Maybe.

SPEAKER_03: 57:16

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 57:17

Okay. I've taken some time to reflect, ideally in silence, though your eleven Pipers made that part difficult. And I've realized I need to be honest with you. While I appreciate the spirit behind your gifts, the sheer volume of birds, performers, and dairy staff has turned my home into something between a medieval marketplace and a very confused zoo. I believe affection should arrive in forms that don't require extensive shoveling, noise cancelling tools, or zoning approvals. I value my space, my peace, and the ability to walk through my own living room without tripping over a swan. I need a relationship grounded in communication, not in escalating deliveries of livestock. I need gifts chosen with my comfort in mind. Not ones that make me question whether you're planning to relocate an entire village into my front yard. I'm setting a boundary now. I cannot continue a relationship where my needs are drowned out by drummers, overshadowed by leaping nobles, or threatened by the existential glare of a partridge. Please take care, and please take the geese with you. They know what they did. Warm regards, Lauren. That's me. Yeah. I broke up with him.

SPEAKER_03: 58:44

Yeah, okay. So I mean, I think it's for the best.

SPEAKER_04: 58:57

Oh yeah. Cause he's just running off with the ladies.

SPEAKER_03: 59:00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 59:01

And I have to take care of the birds. I don't want to do that. Some of them are scary.

SPEAKER_03: 59:06

Yeah. They flap a lot.

SPEAKER_04: 59:07

Geese are scary. I'm terrified of geese. Yeah. I'm gonna be honest. They scare me.

SPEAKER_03: 59:13

Okay. So were there any mite ducks?

SPEAKER_04: 59:17

There were no ducks.

SPEAKER_03: 59:18

No mighty ducks.

SPEAKER_04: 59:19

There's hens and geese and pheasants. They're a lot smaller than ducks.

SPEAKER_03: 59:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 59:25

And other birds and blackbirds, maybe, at some point. Or collie birds. Whatever those are.

SPEAKER_03: 59:34

Yeah. But uh I I was just wondering if there were some mighty ducks or so.

SPEAKER_04: 59:39

No.

SPEAKER_03: 59:40

No reason why, but no?

SPEAKER_04: 59:42

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 59:44

What about a lethal weapon? Maybe you could get one of those.

SPEAKER_04: 59:49

Maybe. And put it on my Christmas list.

SPEAKER_03: 59:52

Yeah. I want. Lethal weapon.

SPEAKER_04: 59:55

Now, for my last part of this segment, I would like To recite a poem.

SPEAKER_02: 1:00:02

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:03

Okay? This is my response to my Christmas gifts post 12 days of Christmas. Okay. Okay. On the first day of Christmas, my true love sent me a partridge loose in my pantry.

SPEAKER_01: 1:00:17

Oh.

SPEAKER_03: 1:00:18

So you were gonna say in my pants. Loose in my pants.

SPEAKER_04: 1:00:23

Partridge loose in my pants. I don't know how it got there, but that's where it ended up. So I called Animal Control, who asked, is it aggressive? I said, It's judging me with its entire soul. Please send help. On the second day of Christmas, two turtle dubs cooing like they're holding a union meeting. This time I called HR. They informed me that birds are not eligible for workplace mediation. On the third day of Christmas, three French hens arrived with attitudes sharp enough. Yeah. Sharp enough to cut tile. Animal control put me on hold forever.

unknown: 1:01:08

Okay.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:09

They didn't know French.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:11

No, I guess not. They couldn't compromise.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:14

They couldn't understand the birds.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:17

No. On the fourth day, four calling birds, calling everyone except me. HR asked me if I had tried setting expectations. I told them the birds had their own group chat.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:30

They maybe they didn't have your number?

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:33

Maybe. On the fifth day, five gold rings. Finally, something that doesn't molt. I thanked my true love. It was short-lived.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:43

Sixth day. Sixth day.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:45

Sixth.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:46

Sixth day.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:47

Sixth day.

SPEAKER_04: 1:01:48

Sixth geese laying. My living room became an egg forward war zone. Animal control hung up after I uttered the word geese.

SPEAKER_03: 1:01:59

So what do you have there? Oh, why don't you take a geese?

SPEAKER_04: 1:02:03

Geese. Wow, that was a good one. Seventh day. Seven swans of swimming in my bathtub. HR suggested I redirect aquatic personnel to appropriate facilities. I redirected myself to a hotel.

SPEAKER_03: 1:02:20

You barely have a bathtub.

SPEAKER_04: 1:02:23

Right. Eighth day with eight maids of milking. Not cows, just the maids. Standing there, awaiting instruction. HR asked if I had filed a staffing request. I told them I had filed several, all desperate. Ninth day with nine ladies dancing. Beautiful, yes. But they knocked over my laundry rack and applauded.

SPEAKER_00: 1:02:46

Aw, what the heck?

SPEAKER_04: 1:02:48

Rude. Animal control said this was outside their perfume. And I agreed. Why am I calling Animal Patrol? Control Paw Patrol on ladies. Why am I calling Paw Patrol? Ten Lords Leaping on my couch. HR asked if they were contractors or full-time. And I asked them if they were serious.

SPEAKER_00: 1:03:14

Are you serious?

SPEAKER_04: 1:03:15

Are you serious? 11 Pipers Piping. Noise level? Jet engine wearing holiday cheer. I filed a noise complaint with HR, and they filed a noise complaint back at me.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:28

So you're noisy? Yeah. You're a loud American.

SPEAKER_04: 1:03:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03: 1:03:32

According to them.

SPEAKER_04: 1:03:33

Yeah. 12 drummers drumming. Again, I'm calling animal control on them. On people. They referred me to cultural events and disturbances. That department referred me to therapy. So my summary of my disappointment. My true love has mistaken me for a festival venue, a wildlife refuge, and possibly a recruitment center for performing arts. I wanted connection, not crowd control. I wanted romance, not a lineup of sentient percussion. I am emotionally exhausted and physically surrounded by feathers. And I'd like to suggest gift alternatives for next year.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:13

Okay.

SPEAKER_04: 1:04:14

A reclining spa dang, two coffee gift cards, three cozy blankets, four scent candles, five gold chocolates. Oh. Okay. Six plants thriving. Seven quiet evenings. Eight playlists curated. Nine books worth reading. Yes, please. Uh, eleven drawers completed. Oh my gosh. 12 uninterrupted naps.

SPEAKER_03: 1:04:42

Sounds good.

SPEAKER_04: 1:04:43

And that was that. Did you like it?

SPEAKER_03: 1:04:46

Uh I liked it. Go ahead. And also a lethal weapon.

SPEAKER_04: 1:04:50

And a lethal le an illegal w weapon. I can't even say that. So I hope you learned something.

SPEAKER_02: 1:04:59

Yeah.
