Welcome to Beach to Sandy, Water to Wet, a podcast featuring real reviews written by people who just need the world to know what they think. need the world to know what they think. Between you and me, I wanted to like this podcast, but I'd give it zero stars if I could. Greetings. Hey, everyone. Greetings! Hey, everyone! It's episode 23. Yep.

Yep, just check my notes. It is 23. I made that up and stared at you until you corrected me. We're here with some more reviews for you this week. Welcome, and this is a special episode because it comes after a very special video. Oh, God. That we uploaded. We did not upload it. You uploaded it. Well, that's why I kept my face in the thumbnail, so you didn't have to actually, like, be a part of its image, you know?

Thank you. Yeah, so check out our YouTube channel if you want to see us birth a Hatchimal. Everyone's like, no, I don't think so. Yeah, so there was an episode a while back where Alex Inter mentioned his dream of owning a Hatchimal. And then Sarah stepped up and sent a Hatchimal to my P.O. box. And it was addressed to the bad boy of podcasting. The one and only. Which really... I haven't gotten over that

yeah i love that trust me we neither um so we did a like an unboxing and a reveal and then uh i had a great time well yeah i did at least sure and we're filming our next uh video tomorrow oh my god patrons patrons know who are on the facebook group uh they know what it's of oh they do i i does not everyone know what it's of um you can figure it out if you're on twitter yeah but um yeah but it's gonna be confirmed to those patrons i in, what's the word? Unlike the last video, I am extremely excited for this video. And unlike the last video, I am not excited for this video. It'll be good. So that'll come at you soon, too.

Check out our YouTube channel, youtube.com slash c slash beach to Sandy. Subscribe so you can see when that awful video pops up i'm gonna be honest like i know that i am annoyed by the video but alex zinner does a really good job editing them and it's quite hilarious so and that one was a disaster because it was between multiple different platforms programs It took me forever to actually. The computer crashed. It was bad. So, yeah. Do us a favor. Look at it. Yeah. Just give it a view.

And if you subscribe, you can follow the future videos we post. And the future ones should be a little more, just better. I'll feel better about them. Okay. Let's hope. Me too. All right. Let's get into this.

You gave me a theme. Yes. And it was toy stores in Chicago, Illinois. That's right. And then you gave me a challenge, which was to find a review of a recipe, a negative review of a recipe in which the reviewer changed the recipe. Exactly. Which. Was it good?

People are stupid. That's why we're here. That's what this is all about. I hate to be just so like you know wildly generic about that statement but i just there's no better way to say it sums it up quite nicely i think so all right so should i start with my reviews since i'm doing the challenge please do so i will say i got home yesterday from a long, long, long, long week being in four or five different cities. And I did this in the middle of the night. So, I should be nervous is what you're saying.

We don't know what's going to happen. Okay, good. We'll see. Usually it's just a surprise for me, but now it's, I guess, a surprise for both of us. Exactly. Good. Okay. So, this is a review of the Toys R Us on Magnificent Mile, which is it still open? R.I.P.

Oh, okay. Like, oh, exciting. Oh, R.I.P. Everyone, all the reviews were like, no wonder it's about to close. No wonder this franchise is ending. Okay. So this is a review from Linda and it is a one star review of Toys R Us. So this is a review from Linda, and it is a one-star review of Toys R Us. It is two days after Christmas, and I cannot get anyone to answer the phone at this store. I don't like this store to begin with, but I need a children's puzzle. It is a last-minute after-holiday gift. No clue if this store even has puzzles, because I can't get anyone to answer the phone end of review

i hate phone call reviews it's like the day after christmas i absolutely hate those i need a children's puzzle oh my god like you people who if someone picks up and is absolutely awful to you and like cusses you out or like hangs up on you or something i mean even then like mistakes happen at my job i've hung up hung up on many people um whatever yeah but i mean yeah i mean like intentionally like like in anger i see yeah that isn't appropriate but i mean calm down no one's answering the phone yeah it's a fucking toys rs in 2019 yeah no wonder they're closing no wonder amazon is beating out all the brick and mortar yeah all those times you

call amazon oh god their robots show up at your door and their drones never mind jesus okay don't they have this weird dystopia yeah they do and you like put a little target out in your back i don't know i've never is that how that works i'm target out in your back. I don't know. I've never. Is that how that works? I'm pretty sure. You put little like, I don't know, like a landing pad of sorts. Grotesque. Can you imagine?

The drone lands in your backyard and drops your package. Can you imagine Gio being in the backyard and a drone just like makes its descent? And picks him up. He just floats off into the sky. Shifts him to the warehouse. It's like howling. I'd like a refund. Okay.

That's, by the way, that's what we're filming tomorrow. Oh, no. We've installed the landing pad. Okay. The next review is of a store called Gepetto's Toy Box. I thought you might like that. Why me, specifically? Because it seems like something weird that you would...

Isn't that like the guy from Pinocchio? Yeah, like a puppet master. Stop looking at me like that. Like a puppet master. For the record, I have no association to puppets or puppet masters. I don't know where she's coming from here. It sounds like something you would name your toy store. Okay.

I would never name my toy store Geppetto's. I couldn't even remember the name. Geppetto's Toy Box. Nothing against that store. I just, no, I don't know. It's not me. Well well cleve had an opinion about geppetto's toy cleve now that's a name cleve is a name that's my first son's name that is the name of a toy store okay one star from cleve this is so ridiculous

no refund are you kidding me This product ruined my son's pajamas. Okay. Are we going to find out what the product is? Yes. Okay. Quote, Crazy Aaron's Illusion Thinking Putty is a product you sell at the counter. It has a disclaimer on the tin sure but

in extremely small print nine-year-olds don't read disclaimers before playing with a product nor should they have to if the product is purchased at a neighborhood toy store we've trusted for years it's that hit no oh you pause so sorry there's another paragraph i'm like thinking like no that you're right the nine-year-old shouldn't have to read the disclaimer the parent the parent should i was just i found this review interesting because eva just bought em and me um the aaron's putty have you seen it no this is like basically like like slime yeah okay well slime or silly putty? I like silly putty. Telling the customer that the product is not designed to be left out on the furniture and should be returned to the tin after playing is not a valid answer to my customer complaint.

Yes, it is. Absolutely. It is. It's designed to develop fine motor skills, you say? Not to touch clothes or furniture? What kind of product do you sell at a toy store that is not supposed to touch clothes or furniture? Probably multiple things. I mean, maybe not too many, but come on. Anything like wet, maybe. The silly putty I grew up with did not ruin clothes or furniture. Back in my day. Exactly. The lack of understanding, customer frustration, and the request of a refund to my son's Visa gift card is unacceptable. We have shopped here for many years and purchased gifts and toys for everyone we know. They probably don't know that many people.

No. This experience has soured our opinion of your establishment. I believe in supporting small businesses in lieu of big box stores, but now we will have to find another independent store to purchase our toys and gifts. End of review. Really sticking it to them. Poor Geppetto. Poor Geppetto.

I can't say that word or that name without it sounding weird. Maybe that's why I thought of you. I knew you'd be weird about it. Yeah, I'm weird about it. I don't like it. I'm ready to move on. Okay, the next is a review of Timeless Toys by Mark M. And it's a one star review. My boys and I used to shop here. But then we noticed that they don't carry any White Sox versions of their toys.

any White Sox versions of their toys. However, they carry every other Chicago team. When I asked the clerk what the deal was, I was informed the owner didn't want to stock White Sox versions. Although we are huge supporters of Shopping Local, we will never shop at Timeless Toys again. Here's to hoping the company folds and a better toy store takes their place. End of review.

That's so harsh because they don't have the same fandom as you. That's ridiculous. Chicago, what are you doing? That is ridiculous. I mean, like, to be fair, if I, like, hey, if I owned any business, I would never stock a Steeler's anything. I don't care what business it is. It could be a Pittsburgh Steelers store in Pittsburgh, and I still wouldn't stock Steelers stuff. I might go out of business in that case, but it's a principle. I respect that store owner. It's a toy store.

It's not like you're going... Yeah, I don't like that. Those poor kids. They're like, I just wanted a Geppetto doll, daddy. Those poor kids were like, I just wanted to be a Cubs fan. Papa, take me to geppetto's palace okay stop okay now that's a name though that i might do not geppetto's and toy box i got it geppetto's grotto geppetto's Geriatric Grotto Ew

Geppetto's Dungeon I'm trying to think of words that's a jidja sound Dungeon Dungeon Dungeon Okay I have a couple more Sorry I kind of have a lot This is a

I had to go this route I had to This is a review of Build-A-Bear Yes And it's one star Do you have any Build-A-Bear ones? No Okay

This is by Victor Good evening Build-A-Bear ones? No. Okay. This is by Victor. Good evening, Build-A-Bear. I have never been so disgusted after visiting one of your workshops. I went on July 19th, 2018 to redeem the $15 coupon on Sunset Shimmer. Wasn't greeted. Got the plush. Had to ask Jessica to stuff it.

Jessica did not seem enthusiastic that an old guy like me was getting a doll. She did not offer to perform the heart ceremony. Makes it sound like some weird sacrifice like the aspect did. Oh God your what is it called your workshop had to ask for a birth certificate from venera since this location lacks the pc political correctness i think what got home and the plush where it was sewn had already come apart i am not going back to this location. In fact, I do not have transportation to head back into downtown Chicago.

End of review. I couldn't even get there if I tried. No. So that experience, you'd say, I was disgusted. Like, come on. He's a brony, if you didn't catch on okay yeah i figured it was something like that i googled sunset shimmer and then went aha okay gotta say there are some bronies out there that just ruin it for the rest of them i don't know i don't know much about bronies

so i don't have an opinion either way um i i that's all i'm gonna to say. But a Victor... What do we have to say to Victor? Is a butthead. Yes. Okay. So next up, I have American Girl Doll Store. Now those fans... I had to go there next. Like Angela from The Office.

That's what she wears, right? Oh my god. So Paulette gave a one-star review. Santa brought my six-year-old granddaughter her first American Girl doll. She was so very excited to go to the store and have lunch with Ella, her doll. We were quite disappointed with our experience. We had lunch in the restaurant, and they did bring Ella her own cup and saucer. However, the waiter never asked for

Ella's name. He didn't interact with the doll at all. No one, not one person asked my granddaughter her dolly's name. What they like to do together or anything about ella's personality

jesus what the fuck that my granddaughter had created for her the american girl staff needs to be trained to interact with the dolls oh no oh my god and do a better job with personalizing every little girl's experience oh and there's This whole thing that weirded me out, this one did. Not that, I mean, that last one was like I was being a butt, but this one just weirded me out. I want that woman to open up her own restaurant just for dolls and see how she acts, because I would love to see that. Restaurant for dolls, yes.

I would love to see how she wanted them to act. Please, that would be great. What is yours? She just talks to the doll, and then when the child answers, she's like, I'm talking to Ella. Oh my god. Now this is another one-star review of the same store. And I didn't get the name, but it's a one-star review. Marcy, salesperson, acted like I was going to take something, which I did.

Then, very disappointed in the way they acted end of review wow um and then finally I have a redemption oh thank you this is five stars for a place called toy du jour oh I think it's spelled wrong but that's besides the point this is by sylvia five stars i am a 58 year old kid i love looking in toy stores yesterday i bought a duncan imperial yo-yo i can still walk the dog lovely toys and nice service end of review that's so sweet you always find those nice sweet ones like the older older people who are just enjoying spreading positivity on the internet. And they're thinking, I can't wait to go home and write a positive review. And play with my yo-yo. My favorite people.

My Duncan Imperial yo-yo. Oh my god. So that's all I have for toy stores. Pretty good selection. Thank you for your cooperation. I also have a wide range of sorts. Okay. But, okay, first I'm going to start with a review of the Disney store.

Okay. Oh, okay. It's from Jarvis. It's a three-star review. Great. A child told me to F off in here. Sorry. And their mother said the same thing.

I cried for days. I got over it and went back i told that same child to f off it was glorious end of review what is happening why is the child is he locked in there did jarvis lock him in somewhere maybe at the disney store oh my god is this geppetto's dungeon what the hell actually though oh i don't know i really do you think it was like an employee but then it doesn't make sense that there was a mother the employee's mother also like i don't get any of the mother is owner owns that disney franchise maybe this guy just went back and found a different kid and was like fuck off yeah and assumed it was the same one made the kid cry

you know what that's probably what happened transplanted his that's probably that's that's probably it that's terrible yeah um now i'm gonna move on to a different interpretation of the theme okay uh you didn't specify what type of toy i did not so i have a few adult store reviews i looked through some of the oh adult toy yes like like like adult superstore xxx oh sweet okay yeah yeah oh yeah sweet well because i was well because i was looking at some like comic book type like memorabilia stores i thought that's what you meant oh no i went all the way oh i'm so oh my god why did i not think of this okay i just stumbled on one when i typed in toy stores and i was like oh actually

let me just go that way because i got i've gone through so many and i'm like none of these are good i'm glad you're an adult that would have been unfortunate for a child to stumble upon like a nine-year-old coming home with some some putty and it says it's not supposed to be oh god please stop i'm sorry i'm sorry i'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Go ahead. Okay, this is a one-star review of The Pleasure Chest by Braxton. Oh, I'm fucking excited. I called the staff to ask

them about their DVD choices and the worker stated, when I got off, one word. No, no, no, no, no, and then hung up. This is an outrage. I really need my VHS tapes. End of review.

Wait, wait, wait. So they called? For the DVDs. Uh-huh. And then said they needed their VHS tapes. So why did the worker say no, that they don't have? Not clear. Oh.

Okay. Of course it's not. Why am I asking? See, I just read it again. again like i paused to read it again it still doesn't make sense oh fantastic next one is of lover's playground oh my god and by the next one i mean my next three i hope i'm seeing that you're currently on ally's ipad oh my god it was on her google account too i was gonna mention that you idiot i don't know if that still shows up. Like, when, who,

that she was searching through Google reviews of sex toys. She's like, Chicago sex toy stores. What is he doing? Uh-oh. Oh, no. Should I not tell her that I booked that flight to Chicago for next week? Yeah, that's really bad timing on your part. Alright, here's a one-star review

by Chapin. Chapin? These are weird names, by the way. Jasper, or was it? Braxton. Jasper, Braxton, and Chapper? Jarvis. Jarvis. Dear Kellos.

Jarvis, Braxton, and Chapin. These are all made up. A one-star review. I was told that it wasn't a hotel and got kicked out don't go there you can't do anything there if you meet someone and a review i'm sorry i'm sorry what yeah just so everyone knows you can't do anything there and this is what is this place lover's playground to be fair it's not clear in the title true they do have like individual booths for watching dvds yeah that's is that that's a thing normal i've never been in one i'm going to be like until you go to chicago next week yet yeah exactly that's really horrendous i did not

know that was a thing it's a thing um can't you just go home oh my god i don't like this my personally my collection is not as extensive as what the lover's playground has. So nope. Sorry. So naive. Here's one from Giovanni. No, don't do this to me. One star.

The place does not have a bathroom. There's a sign saying employees only. And back in the boots smells like urine because people piss all over the boots. Every other adult bookstores provide with a bathroom. Why this one doesn't? End of review. I'm going to throw up. They said boots twice.

I'm wondering if they meant booths. I imagine they mean booths, right? Okay. So apparently people are peeing in those booths. I pictured it as booths, but I think probably it means booths. When I when i first read it i was like is there just a wall of boots like special sexy cowboy sex boots oh no oh my god remember when that lady yelled at us because she didn't want her 10 year olds listening well this is why we this is why we haven't yeah encouraged any children to listen to this exactly and we never stated this was a family

friendly there was what that one time i forgot to mark an episode as explicit but other than that we fixed it though yep everything should be marked explicit yeah right wait you guys know before you start do not even do not even all right i think they're hopefully by now they're all gone like because i'm more uncomfortable than any fucking 10 year old right now this is horrifically uncomfortable just wait for this next one i'm not kidding this was the most like i read this i'm like yep but i'd read this even if it was of something completely different okay all right this is a four-star review. My name is Silas. I'm using my son's account.

I came here several years ago when I was working in a block away, and the cashier Amanda was cool, free-spirited, and helped me a lot. However, I moved and haven't seen her when I came here first time in years. So I'd like to ask the owner, does she still work here? Oh, no. And could I get her contact information? I'd like to invite the owner does she still work here oh no and could i get her contact information i'd like to invite her for my neighbor's reunion party what yeah they use their son's account to try to get the contact information for for amanda amanda the cashier that they saw years ago alexander amanda had to go into witness protection because this dumb silas guy

keeps stalking her well the owner just gave the phone number right over wait no oh oh my god i was like i need to call the police immediately i'm gonna read the response wait there was yeah okay hi silas thank you for taking time out of your day to rate our location and ruin your son's google account right can? Can you imagine? You don't even know and you go on and you're like, dad? Yeah. Or like you see this notification in your email, like a business has responded to your review. And you're like, click it.

Sex pleasure palace. Geppetto sex dungeon has responded to your review. Oh, God. Okay. Sorry. Wait, you just revealed the title for our next video oh yeah pedo's sex dungeon tm tm tm um okay thank you for taking time out of your day to rate our location on lawrence avenue we cannot and will not give out clerk information thank you sorry that we couldn't

be of more help i think that's like the most diplomatic way to be like the best way to do it and like that sorry was the least sorry. Sorry, I've ever heard. He meant none of that. I'm so glad that they Silas. You are such a creep Silas. That is so creepy. You think like, oh, my neighbor's having a reunion party.

And then you're like, who should I invite? Oh, remember that time I went to buy a insert thing that I don't want to say out loud or pee in some booths or pee in some boots um years ago years ago well amanda was a free spirit love her the fact that you're still thinking about her is making me real upset right now right now i'm trying to think of like the the last cashier or anything that i remember. I don't remember any. Oh, that's not very nice, Alexander. Cashiers are people too. No, I do remember one actually from Barnes & Noble when I was in high school.

Because she had a tattoo. I know, you were like in love with her. I was not. I'll delete that because of Allie. Shut up. Her tattoo, I bought like four copies of Nine stories by jd salinger for my friends because that's what i did because that was outside and it was my favorite book thank you celine for giving me my first copy by the way that's right um my favorite book still is my favorite book so i bought

a few copies for my friends and i was checking out and she was like oh have you read this before and i was like yeah it's my favorite book um no i just want four copies she had a tattoo that referenced a perfect day for banana fish the first story in the collection yeah and she showed it to me and i was like oh my god that's so cool pretty cool and like still i'm like that is probably my number one on tattoo ideas if i would ever get one well actually like my neighbor's having a reunion party in a few weeks do you think maybe we should call barnes and noble which by the way has closed so i'm pretty sure that we'll have to track it down um anyway i remember that's the only one i remember that's like i mean that's a very like it was memorable kind and memorable and that i do think of that tattoo

when i think of oh what tattoo should i get if i get one and also you were in not in a sex toy store so there's that no, they didn't have that department at the time. They should have. They would have stayed open. You're right. That's why Amazon is taking over with its drones. All I remember ever is the Trader Joe's employees who are all like, so having a party? And I'm like, no, I'm going home to eat all this cheese by myself. But thanks for asking. Okay. Cool.

That's all my reviews. Did I ever tell you that that's one person who is one cashier? And they're always very nice. I'm not trying to be like, you know, an ass, but it's always really embarrassing because when I didn't have a job back in Glendale and I was like just sad and trying to find a job and i went and bought a six-pack of beer and the guy's like getting off work and i'm like because i didn't know what to say and he's like oh where do you work and i was like downtown and he's like oh what do you do and i was like i can't have this conversation anymore this is really stressing me out and i looked so panicked that i think he was like well i really like working at trader joe's and i was like okay what the heck they're just trying to like have conversation oh my god that's so

uncomfortable i always have to like prepare my socially i wish they had self-checkout lanes at trader joe's because i'm so not socially equipped i'm not it's a struggle it is every time i remember i applied to work there and i was like, I'm going to have to get much better at complimenting people's clothing. I couldn't do it. That's why I went to the one in Hollywood all the time. Did they just not talk to you? I mean, they usually did, but there were so many people that just had to get you through

the line. There's no like chit chat. Time for chit chat. Exactly. But whenever I stopped one, I was like, where's this? Where are the dried vegetables the uh freeze-dried vegetables they'd be like let me see if we have more in the back and they'd run back they're like having a party where do you work actually i did tell many of them asked about

me working because they were like because i worked really close by and i brought like i'd walk there yeah they would ask about parking and I'd always act weird when I said I don't want parking ballot I don't know it was a weird I'm telling you you need to really just like prepare when you walk into a Trader Joe's okay time for the challenge time for the challenge so this one was fun and i feel like um first of all thank you krista because i thought this was a really clever challenge um i uh will say it would be fun to do this again as some sort of theme and some i know it doesn't really fit the city thing but it's really funny to read recipes in new orleans louisiana you could do that. Sort of.

Yeah. So, I had a blast reading these. Good. Now, it was a little hard to find funny ones where people fucked up, but I did find a couple. So, here we go. This first one is of a review of Classic Goulash.

And it is a one-star review by Marie. I added peas and corn. End of review. They added peas and corn to goulash? I gave it one star. Now, Noel had something to say. And Noel wasn't exactly, it wasn't the same type of review, but I read it right after I read the peas and corn review, and it was like so bananas

that I was like, I'm going to keep this one. And it doesn't have to do with changing the recipe, but it's just to give you a taste of what people are like. We're here to entertain. Here to entertain. Or make you seriously uncomfortable. One or the other. i'm very uncomfortable this episode so it's terrible i'm like it's extremely terrible i cannot wait for this to be over me too um so this is noel and he uh reviewed the goulash as well but he had a capital a agenda here this is okay i'm sorry like

reviews he reviews the goulash as well like we've never done recipes so this is so weird it is very weird and like reading them it's all it's i mean not all but there is many like grandmas and stuff and like you know our stepmom uses this website and so it's kind of like a lot of people that website i do too but i don't leave for really reviews but like it just so many like grandmas and stuff are leaving reviews and you know probably really wholesome ones in there a lot of very wholesome ones and a lot of extremely rude angry ones god okay yes you know remember there was a grandma earlier in my uh in my notes um who reviewed the american girl doll store and true might opening up her own franchise. Okay, Noel says,

This is rubbish. Not classic or anything like it. Goulash is Hungarian, not American or Idahoan or any other stupid false place claim. People who call things by names they are not should be banned.

I would never make this fake muck. Wake wake up you sheeple end of review you ever use sheeple unironically yeah you have a problem on a recipe site like go away oh yeah of all places too and also like he's like i would never make this well then don't fucking write a review you weirdo leave it alone okay so then now I have one more. And this is a review of the Baked Dijon Salmon by T.M. Clardy. Yum. I know. I got, by the way, so fucking hungry reading this. I bet. Okay. T.M. Clardy, one star. I thought the taste of this was rather odd. It tasted way too mustardy. i didn't have any honey so instead

i used honey dijon mustard i probably wouldn't make it again sorry end of review oh my god it's too mustardy maybe because i used mustard on top of mustard like was there i don't know if there was mustard it just said instead of honey i used honey dijon mustard but it was baked dijon oh then yeah probably so like i'm wondering if they called for mustard and they're like oh let me do god what it tastes like you literally change you'd use a specific mustard that was not called for and then say it's too mustardy like you add mustard in that that's not asked for yeah so that's fun oh that was what i was looking for lol that satisfied me oh good hopefully krista i'll check in with her sorry sorry um yeah thank you krista that was very fun uh and honestly i'm a little jealous like that's a i like the review i'm sure it was like

still a challenge but yeah it was it sounds fun to peruse recipe reviews it was it was just a little hard to like navigate how to find the best ones yeah um yes all right well moving on i'll tell the people where they can find us great and then we'll read some um i have some special listener comments to read and then we'll reveal the theme and challenge for next week. Great. So you can find our social media information at our website, beach2sandy.com. Send us an email at beach2sandy at gmail.com with anything, really. And if you want to share a review that you enjoyed, be sure to include Between You and

Us in the subject line, and we release those every second monday of the month yeah and support us on patreon at patreon.com slash beach to sandy we'd really appreciate that and leave us a review on apple podcasts because we might read them but today i won't because instead i'm reading'm reading YouTube comments. I knew you were going to do that. God damn it. So these are comments from our Hatchimal video that just went up. And they're pretty good. Okay.

So the first one is from Casey. Casey says, can I please put non-binary Hatchimal in my Twitter bio? Yes, please. Yes. You have our permission. I think that's like a really actually great label to have. Nick, a friend of ours. He says, favorite part, Alex staring into the depths of my soul during the squirrel segment.

Nope. I do not think he blinked once. I approve. Can confirm it confirm it you might be right like i just uploaded a short part of that to our twitter and facebook and i think instagram story i don't think i blinked it's terrifying i didn't realize it like i didn't plan that anyway if you're wondering how there's hatchimals squirrel segments whatever you should just watch the video uh next is from Bubba Gump, who says, The scary look of determination on Alexander's face has me concerned. What must Christmas have been like for those around him, lol?

Oh, well, I can probably write you a whole fucking new episode on that. I wasn't that nightmarish on Christmases. Oh, that's funny. You weren't nightmarish on Christmases? I don't think so. Was I? I don't think so. I think we were probably both really annoying. Yeah, but we still are. But we were always that way and

we will always be that way. True. Tora says Christine putting down her wine glass and then picking it up straight away is more relatable than I want to admit. Oh, good. And then one more quick one. This is from Maggie. I'm calling Hatchimal CPS. Oh, no, don't. Don't take our baby away. We did not have little Monty taken away from us. I really did get attached to it after that. We saw in the video.

Anyway. I can't deny it. Next video we're filming tomorrow thank you everyone there are so many great comments those were just some of them i wanted to read more but next video i'll read some more comments great thank you everyone who commented who liked it and who subscribed to us recently we really appreciate it and now a reward, we will give you the theme and challenge for next week. Finally. Okay. So first, your theme and my theme for next week is brought to us by Lily from Kentucky. Okay.

Who suggested post offices in Washington, DC. Oh, oh, God forbid. Okay. Oh, D.C. Oh. Oh, God forbid. Okay. Oh, yeah. I just checked because I wanted to make sure there were plenty. I'm sure there are

a lot. Oh, my God. So many. And so... The ratings. The ratings. We'll have a lot of very low ones to sift through,

but I'm sure there are plenty that are quality. So that's our theme. Okay. so this challenge uh comes to us from twitter and it was sent by henny whose username is itty bitty kitty committee i think but with with no vowels and wise i don't know it's it's henny this is from henny and uh henny says i drank henny once oh god i never won it thank you by the way by the way it's called have you heard of it one time you probably never heard of it i was out of sun out of a sunscreen bottle at coachella three years ago you're a monster the

coolest thing i've ever done and that's saying that's sad like that's a sad thing but that's the coolest but oh don't worry. We know. Good times. To be fair, I've never had anything out of a sunscreen bottle, so you win. Don't do it. I'm not planning on it, to be honest. I have enough stomach trouble as it is. Okay, so this is from Henny, and it says, Here's a suggestion for a challenge.

A review of a veterinarian's office where the reviewer was seeking medical advice for themselves gosh that's a good one that's a really good one i had some ideas that i had like half-ass ideas that i come up with but then i saw this that's perfect i thought henny was better suited henny thank you i'm looking forward to it that is that might be tough but i i know if i just find one it's gonna be quality yeah like that's one of those things that if you can find it, it's going to pay off. So I'm going to look hard. Yeah, that's true. You're right.

There's no way that that can be a rational person. Like a boring normal review. Exactly. I can't wait. Okay, thank you, Annie. Thanks, everyone, for listening. If you have any more suggestions, just send them on in because we need them. We do.
