Happy Friday besties.
Fuck yeah.
We've made it.
Another week in one of the busiest months for so many of us, right?
We're coming up on the end of the year.
Oh my gosh.
November and December.
The worst.
November.
Right? Although it's like, it's like, yes, November for me as every month is. year. Oh my gosh. November and December. The worst. November.
Right. Although it's like, it's like yes, November for me as every month is.
Exactly. Because of your face. My face. Come one, come all. It's always a yes. That's what she said. But yeah, but you know, it's wild because you're so stressed out from all the
work stuff, right? And everyone needs to finish strong.
Some people are just starting their goals.
You forgot what you promised in January.
But it's also for so many of us, like the funnest time of the year, like personally.
You know what I mean?
Like I know Jamie and I love December, especially as our birthday months.
Right.
I mean, the holiday.
Oh gosh.
So it's
kind of a torture in a way, you know?
Yeah, like it's a lot of work. And it's a lot. Like, I'm an extrovert, but I also need
my introverted time. And December doesn't allow for that. You know what I mean? Because
like every weekend, almost every night, there's something that you're doing.
So by January, I'm like, I'm good.
I'll just stay in the house and not talk to anyone for a while.
Just be depressed.
Yeah.
No, it's good.
I mean, I love, there are very few emotions that a Hallmark or Netflix holiday movie,
on my couch in isolation, cannot at least temporarily, like
really, maybe not long-term cure, but it feels good.
Just watched Hot Frosty, which is...
Magic scarf and a hot guy.
How did that happen?
I know we had a big debate.
My daughter was like, he's not that hot.
And I was like, oh, I disagree.
And I was like polling him.
I'm like, the girls say he is.
So there.
We are still watching Lost.
Oh, shit.
Which we're almost done.
We're literally, because it's six seasons,
we only have two episodes.
Yeah, I don't think he's hot, actually, at all.
OK.
Wait, is this the one about the snowman?
Yes.
Oh, my god, I've seen memes about this.
Yes.
Okay, so Lost though, I need someone to talk to about it.
Like, no, no, no, no, for real.
Someone reached out to James.
My husband and I are so angry about this stupid fucking show.
Like, I can't...
We have to finish it though, do you know what I mean?
I do.
But we're so angry about it.
That's how I was with Manifest.
No, yeah. I would suggest not watching it. I know, right? It makes me so angry.
I would suggest not watching it. But I cannot wait to be done with it. Let me just say that. Maybe Hot Frosty would be like a night palate cleanser, you know? Exactly. And a pair of teeth.
I will not give a spoiler to Hot to Hot Frosty to the Oscar, surely Oscar-winning movie.
But I will say this, I bet he gets a lot hotter when he starts fixing shit up around the house
in the movie. Because that will always ratchet up that scale from a one to 10. Two more points
there when he's handy around the house. So I will say there, reserve your judgment
until you watch him in action.
Right, I mean, he's good.
You know what I mean?
Come on.
Well, he's good, but I'll tell you this,
is I cannot wait because I found an account on Instagram
and that's not one of ours.
Ours are, I'd say ours are the three best,
but like, Jamie's got seven accounts,
so whatever.
There's an account that has, you know, it to me is like the Instagram equivalent of
watching a Hallmark or Netflix movie.
That if I'm ever like, oh, I have a minute and just need a aperitif, and it is, I'm looking,
at heartthrobrobanderson.
And so his name is Rob Anderson.
I shared it the other day on my Instagram
and I got multiple messages from people that are like,
oh my God, I'm now going down this rabbit hole.
And so he does like, he has like some original content,
but a lot of what he does is goes back to like
Berenstain Bear's books, TV shows, movies,
like he's going through every Mary Kay
and Ashley Olsen movie and he goes through the plots. It is so funny.
And so I need to know what he's gonna say about Hot Frosty.
That's it.
Yeah, he's actually hilarious. I've posted him several times.
Like, he'll do throwback movies.
I've posted him on Millennial Misery before.
It's funny, because his takes are just hilarious.
Because it's like, why did we enjoy this movie at our age?
Like, this is so dark.
Like, she's dating her brother, like, Kulis.
Right.
Exactly.
It's so funny.
And maybe it is.
Are you friends with him, Jamie?
Or internet friends?
No, no.
But I have posted him before several times,
because he's hilarious.
He's one of those people that you're like,
when people are like, oh, who would you
want to have a dinner party with?
Name four or five people. And you're like, you know, when people are like, Oh, who would you want to have a dinner party with? Like name four or five people.
And you're like, I guess I got to say like, Oh, mother Teresa or blah, blah,
blah. But I'm like, fuck that Rob Anderson.
And I don't want to talk. I just,
I just want to listen and hear him talk about everything else. So he had,
Lee, have you ever seen his account? Do you know?
I don't think so. Y'all had to send me something like your favorite from there.
He's, he's not trash. Yeah, I like your favorite from there. He's not trash.
I will.
He's not trash.
So your algorithm.
Yeah, my algorithm hasn't pushed him through yet.
No, he's really funny.
But it is a great, like, if you're ever needing that palette cleanser,
he's good for like 59 seconds to two, three.
But you will.
You may go down the rabbit hole and follow him.
Then I'll read all the comments.
That's my favorite thing.
Sprint to the comments.
Can't run fast enough.
Oh gosh.
Yeah, well, I do.
I don't know if I'll watch Hot Frosty, but I see it up there.
I've seen the trailer a few times on the Netflix, you know.
Yeah.
I don't know if I'll partake.
It's funny because, you know, the different references that we start watching it, of course,
my daughter's like, oh my God, that's the girl from Mean Girls because they see...
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe.
Shebe. Shebe. Shebe. Shebe. Shebe. of Hallmark together because she's a repeat offender in these movies. And so you forget some of the
things. Okay. So Ashley, then you're a Hallmark movie watcher. Oh, yeah. I mean, honestly,
probably more Netflix than Hallmark if there's a difference. I'm just lazy and I don't pay for the
Hallmark channel. But yeah. Okay. Lee, what about you? Do you watch the Hallmark movies? No. Yeah,
I don't either. I don't even know if we have the Hallmark Channel.
I'm open to it, but I just tend to,
especially during the holidays,
like I've already seen Home Alone one through six,
like three times.
Like I just play them as noise, you know what I mean?
And through the weekend and whatnot, you know?
So I tend to return to like the same classic movies,
you know, like over and over.
Tell me you're not calling when they switched kids from a college.
What is little his little brother to one and one of them?
Yeah, the first one who then went on.
I think that's the same little brother to become succession, to become to become.
So really, that's his prime character.
But like, do you rewatch like Home Alone 5, Lee?
Which is horrific.
Home Sweet Home Alone is okay.
I mean, some of them, one of them is like filmed
on someone's phone.
Like it is like shaky, like it's terrible.
The one with the thieves,
well, there's a couple with the thieves.
I mean, it's- I think they all have the thieves.
But it's a- It's the one. I mean, it's a... I think they all have the thieves. I think they all have the thieves.
It's the one.
I don't know.
They're terrible, okay?
They are horrific, you know?
I don't want to be a humble brag here, but between Jamie recommending loss, we trying
to defend Home Alone 5.
I'm bringing in heartthrob, Rob Anderson, and that seems like the only recommendation you can
count on today, besties. You got hot frosty. Well, yeah, I'd like to know. I'll put that in
the thing to see what people think about it. I'm not going to give it more than a 6.4 out of 10,
but I didn't mind watching it. I thought it was a holiday spirit. Yeah, when we need that.
Do y'all have a favorite holiday movie? I like Home Alone 2.
There I go back to the Home Alone.
I love Love, actually, but it's probably something
that Rob Anderson covered.
Probably.
Because it really, how is that girl fat?
Oh, god, don't even start.
You know what I mean?
She's stunning.
You know what I'm saying?
It's just ridiculous.
But that scene where they're kissing and the music and all,
I just love it.
Oh, you know.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Yeah, that might be my favorite.
Jamie?
I think The Santa Clause with Tim Allen, the first one.
That's just such a good one.
I've already watched that a few times.
I love that one.
I don't know.
And I love Christmas Vacation.
Those are two movies I have to see
in the month of December every year.
What about that Santa Claus three?
I mean, that was shit.
Get in the robot, Santa.
You are like, like everybody.
I mean, this is kind of shocking to me candid lately, but like you are like,
like I remember when I worked in like marketing based organizations, they'd
have like, um, what is it with like the fake people that they're always thinking about,
like we make our ad for this person,
they create a real person.
And in the case of one company, that shall be your main name,
unless they had cardboard cutouts of these people.
But I swear, you are like the cardboard cutout person
in the studio that's like,
God, shit, we have like $34,000 to make another sequel.
Who can we count on? And they'll be like, God, shit, we have like $34,000 to make another sequel. Who can we count on?
And they'll be like, HR manifesto.
She'll watch it at least six to seven times.
Exactly.
They just play, you know? They just play.
They're like comfort movies.
It is. I was going to say it's like comfort food, you know?
But I'm trying to get in the mood and spirit.
I've been decorating. So that's my thing.
I love to decorate everything.
Lee has shared photos of her front porch with us.
And holy shit, it is absolutely gorgeous.
It's like this winter wonderland, like candy land.
It's magical.
HR Martha Stewart over here.
Yeah, it looks so good.
I just love that art and design bullshit.
I can't help it, you know?
But you have that nice handwriting,
that nice teacher handwriting.
It all, I do think it all kind of goes together
because my handwriting is not great
and my decorations do not look like that.
I do, you know, I get a good few blow up things,
you know, distract from the lack of skill,
but it's very, it is very, it's a real talent. It's art.
I love it.
No, I've been, you know, I go to the home goods.
Have you seen all those funny videos lately about the home goods and people going through the store?
Oh my God.
Yes.
I love looking through the trash.
Yes.
I saw one the other day.
It was like, it was a couple and she was like, you know, I've always wanted a Santa pooping. And he goes,
hold on, I have just the thing for you. And he like shows the Santa pooping. It's hilarious.
But it's all the random shit that they have at HomeGoods.
All of those crap stores love. So I've been frequenting.
Welcome to the O-Well Business.
Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore and Jon Hamm star in a new Paramount Plus original series.
The world has already convinced itself that you are evil and I am evil for providing them
the one thing they interact with every day.
You all right?
Here we go.
From Taylor Sheridan, executive producer of Yellowstone.
Get everybody back.
Go!
You just put a giant bullseye on this place.
We rolled the dice one last time. Get everybody back! Go! Go! You just put a giant bullseye on this place.
We rolled the dice one last time.
Landman, new series now streaming exclusively on Paramount+.
Are you all getting in the spirit at all of the holidays, end of year?
I am.
We decorated like a week ago.
We cut a tree down annually though, so we're going to go do that next week.
Oh, shit.
Wait, what? Yeah, every year we cut down a tree. There's a couple Christmas tree farms
close to us, so we go to this one. I think it's Country Christmas Cove. Is it
is it country, well, is it like with a with the backwards K? No, it's not. And they have a
different different pines that you can choose from. And we've been doing I think this will be your ninth or tenth year doing it of lugging,
getting a saw and everything.
We love it. Yeah. And cutting down a tree.
What? We love it. And then usually I name my tree.
That's a Dateline. No, Jamie.
That is a Dateline episode.
Rollin' with your husband, putting the saw in the car.
It's for the tree. It's for the tree. They have hayrides and hot chocolate for the kids and usually food trucks. And
it's fun. It's so much fun. I love it. I don't like I don't get me wrong. I love the idea
of having an artificial tree just like I could have my tree up already. But we just love
our real tree. I will say except the one year that it had aphids. And I discovered
it on Christmas Eve night as I was putting the presents underneath it.
Ew. Was that a bug?
Yeah. And so they hatched in our house.
That is so gross.
Yeah. So there was like little black bugs everywhere. So literally, my husband and I talked about
it that night, we decided right after Christmas morning, we wrapped it up, threw that sucker
out. Like we burned it. And it was so sad because like it was literally Christmas morning. It was
probably like 10 o'clock. And you're burning your tree. Burning the tree. People are like,
people are like, what's going down at the Jackson's house?
I know, like these Jackson people, good gravy. But yeah, we had to, and so we were a little
apprehensive the next year, but we still, and so we'll go again this year.
You went, fool me twice, huh?
Yep.
Okay.
But we haven't had that happen again, thankfully.
So I grew up, I mean, I grew up Christian, I grew up Episcopal, but I converted to Judaism
before we got married. And so I love a holiday movie, love holiday songs, but we have Hanukkah. And so I, we don't have
a tree. I do have a bit of a Hanukkah bush type thing, but it's like, it's very short
and bush shaped and kind of sad. And I, I make the most of that, but we do. I still
like to decorate and get the inflatables and all those things. And so, you know, me, I love a good celebration.
Gosh, yeah, because again, tis the season, we got lots of holidays here.
In fact, we have one next week here in the US.
FYI, Thanksgiving is only a US holiday.
I know that might be surprising to some.
Well, there is one in Canada, but it's in October.
Germany has it in September and some other places around the world.
Australia.
You're going to say, oh, I thought Australia was the story.
No.
No, but I did get a Woolworth's Burtister Chicken one year
when my parents came to visit over Thanksgiving,
closest I could get.
But no, when I was looking the other day,
I was like, oh, I didn't realize Germany
had this Thanksgiving.
That's why we talked about it.
I always think it's so interesting to learn
of the concepts from everywhere else.
But I do think global people probably love Thanksgiving
just as much as Americans,
because us work-obsessed Americans on global teams
leave you the fuck alone for at least a couple days, ideally.
And that's, yeah, I do think they're like,
it's like putting on a pair of sweatpants, like, of the tight-ass Americans.
Work, what do you do for work, what do you do?
And they're like, just, we'll chill for a little.
So it's kind of like the cats away, which I do think people appreciate.
Oh, do y'all have plans for next week? Are you busy, busy?
I'm not really we usually keep Thanksgiving low key. So it's we usually just have it at
my house. And it's just my mom that comes and we low key. But I love it like that because
Christmas is, you know, a hot mess. Yeah, like every weekend, we're doing something every
night.
I like keeping Thanksgiving low key.
I have a high key week, I'd say.
We're actually going with all my family to First Orlando.
We're going to the Magic Kingdom and Universal.
I've been to the Magic Kingdom in years and I've never been to the Universal.
I don't know what you call it.
The Universal. in years and I've never been to the universal, I don't know what you call it, the universal.
And so we're going with my brother, my sister-in-law, my nieces, my parents,
my sister-in-law's mom. Oh, that'll be fun.
So we all got the shirts. My daughter took everyone's orders and did it through Etsy,
found a nice little shop, and some unlicensed goods. And but then we're going we're all going to the villages for for actual Thanksgiving week.
And so, yeah, we're going to be doing it up in the villages.
Oh, gosh, that sounds fun.
I'm going to be jealous. Yeah, I'm already jealous.
I love a Disney trip.
I know. I just want to say, you know, come, come meet us.
Well, my shout out to Bestie Justin,
my other best friend who lives in Orlando.
We went to law school together.
But he is a lawyer.
He's a lawyer.
There we go, went to law school together.
But he's also a weather enthusiast.
Like, he's super sharp.
He went to Dartmouth, and he's like a physics major,
knows all about weather.
But he's also a roller coaster enthusiast and Disney
enthusiast.
So when I went like eight years ago, he was like whipping us through all these entrances.
We ended up on the seven doors mind train right as the fireworks went off.
It was, yeah, it was super cool.
So he's going to come.
So he's going to come meet us and like, you know, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh
us around.
So I'm excited.
Jealous.
Do you have any, do you have any fun plans? Are you going to go do a world one trip toosh, whoosh, whoosh us around. So I'm excited. Jealous.
Do you have any fun plans? Are you going to go do a whirlwind trip to Antarctica or something like that? No, no, I've just got a couple Thanksgiving things, you know what I mean? A friend's giving,
a big family Thanksgiving, Saturday, I'm hosting Thanksgiving on Thanksgiving, you know, so
lots of baking, lots of cooking.
75 aunts and uncles and... on Thanksgiving, you know, so lots of baking, lots of cooking. All sorts of things.
75 aunts and uncles and.
Exactly, my big fat Mexican family, you know, so.
Yeah, so busy like that, you know,
so I haven't prepped anything or planned
or haven't done shit yet.
I did a little bit of prep.
I'm making some, we're doing a lot of ordering.
I'm making some of the sides,
cause I like doing them,
but I fell prey to one of those Instagram ads that kept coming at me.
And I won't say the name because we're not but partnership.
But it's like one of those ready to go charcuterie boards that has things cut into like fall
leaves, which I think looks lovely.
Yeah, I want it so bad.
I showed it to one of my friends and she's like, what the she's like, I can make that
for half price. All you need is the cookie cutter. And I'm like, what the? She's like, I can make that for half price.
All you need is the cookie cutter.
And I'm like, doesn't matter.
Yeah, it doesn't matter.
We're paying for the convenience.
I was going to say, I think the meat and cheese together,
I start justifying it, of course.
It's a real supermarket sweep again.
I'm like, look at that picture.
I do boards.
It's expensive.
Just take a picture of what you make.
I have them.
Yeah, I can show. I'll have to find them. We it's expensive. Yeah. Let's take a picture of what you make. I have them. Yeah, I can show.
I'll have to find them. We can share it.
Yeah, it isn't cheap to even make them anyway.
It's so expensive.
And again, if I do it, I have made boards.
Leah, I imagine your board looks very different.
Jamie, imagine your board is going to be it's going to also be likewise.
Mine is like is basically the equivalent of like this.
Yeah, it's like the summer sausage I used to sell for like,
Yeah, for six grade band.
To like, yeah, to go on the field trip to Kings Island,
you know, with my flute case and my matching t-shirt,
like sell some gift wrap in a summer sausage.
That's basically what I have,
just sitting there on a paper plane.
So this is good that you ordered that.
You gotta let us know because it looks incredible.

Are we in the mood for sharing what we're grateful for,
considering it's Thanksgiving next week?
Like, I love that.
I make videos not to do that at work,
because it's so corny and cringy.
But secretly, I love it.
It's people that are willing participants.
Jamie, Lee, are you guys down?
It's the icebreaker.
It's the icebreaker.
I know.
People are like, what are you thankful for?
Hopefully, severance. A week off work. People are like, what are you thankful for? Like, hopefully, severance. Like, a week
off work.
Exactly.
Jane, what about you? What are you grateful for?
Well, I'm thankful for, one, this community that we created. The HR Besties listeners and
the little community we got going on. And I'm obviously very thankful for my family.
going on. And I'm obviously very thankful for my family. My boys are my world. And I'm including my husband as my boys in there. I'm thankful for all of them and just, man, they
drive me crazy some days, but I wouldn't, I don't know who I'd be without them.
I'm still thinking. There's so much, that's why. What comes to mind though is I'm thankful.
Of course, I get all existential. I'm grateful for the bad things. I'll just simplify it. The
bad things that have happened to me. I know that sounds really weird to say, but I was reflecting on this yesterday, like adversity and struggles and being fired and
deaths and the family. I mean, all the things, right? I was just thinking about that and how
they brought me to this place. And I try to shift my perspective and stay positive,
because otherwise I'd just wallow and just be really sad. But it's like,
man, I'm thankful for all that tough shit. I didn't deserve to grow and learn through
trauma, but I'm thankful for that shit because it brought me to this point.
And with you all today talking about what I'm thankful for. It's a tough week for me,
Thanksgiving, just to share vulnerably because my dad died November 26, right after Thanksgiving,
12 years ago, and that was my bestie. This is a really tough time and it's like,
I made it through. The grief never leaves you, but man, it's brought me to this place and it's okay.
And so the holidays are tough for a lot of people, loss and grief and all of that, right? And so none
of us are spared from life in that way, but it's okay. We made it through, you're surviving,
and I am too. So I'm thankful for that. Not to get all crazy deep, but that's
what Thanksgiving is about, you know?
Like Taryn.
I know. I see you, Taryn, so it's making me tear up, you know? But it's hard seeing those
empty plates around the table, you know?
It is. But I say this, and I think to both of you all, I mean, I like, I say sometimes
like these condescending things of like, people are like, Oh, I'm proud of you at work or things like that.
But like, Lee, I look to see like, I think your dad would be so proud of like what you've
created and it's not easy.
I just, but I see your mom, I'm like, geez, like having met Lee's mom, Lee's mom's Lee's
mom is like, like, you know, the only person I've met that's slightly shorter than me.
And so but she packs this punch.
And so just knowing what you've come from her and the combination, I just, I mean that
very, very genuinely for both of you all.
And I think, I do think it's a lesson because a lot of what we talk about, there are themes
of trauma, real trauma, and that's a real thing that happens.
And I reflect like two years ago at Thanksgiving, my parents came, I talk a little bit about
this. My parents had been diagnosed both with cancer on the same fucking day a month prior.
Yeah. Again, thankfully they're both doing well. My mom's had two battles with it. I
agree. A lot of what I look at in life is stuff that I went through that I'm like, God,
I don't want to relive that. A lot of of it is more on the business side, is like I spent years like giving energy
and like being beholden to like checking my work email
and like, oh my God, there's something worrying in my head
about what's going to go wrong because I'm a lawyer
and like, God, things that have nothing to do
with decisions I made, but I feel so responsible.
And I lived with so much of that
and sacrifice time with my kids my my marriage myself like and and now
Look, I you know, I've taken that and figured things out and sometimes you're at this point
So I'm so thankful like you hear me going to the villages with my parents
I mean, I love every single second I get to spend with them. I relish it
I do not take it for granted for those reasons
but the same is in corporate.
I now very narrowly every day make videos about managers, make training for managers,
stay in my lane, but no longer am I being responsible for solving other people's problems.
I've figured out what to do in the way that works for me. And I can say I'm thankful.
I wake up in the day sometimes and I'm excited like oh today's recording day
and I like it because
It's just it's a joy to have it with with colleagues and be able to put these things out there
But also like when we do get messages from people about what their experience is like or learning things
It it feels so good and you know
we get a little everybody gets a little hate a lot of hate on the internet sometimes.
And like, I've learned to like, fuck that,
go away, you're no longer gonna take much of my energy
unless I wanna screenshot you and put you on my Instagram
to blast you slightly.
But like, but it is, like, I talk about the career quilt
and like distilling every experience in your life
as you get older of not giving a fuck what other people care about
and just keeping that love with you.
And so I'm proud to be by your side,
but I'm also very thankful to those listening
and hopefully you're thinking about
what you're grateful for as well.
Oh, I know.
We are so thankful for this podcast,
our followers, our listeners, everything.
Our network, our AdLarge network.
Wow.
Like our call we were on the other day with our team and it's like all these people and
they just are like rooting us on and trying to help us succeed and figure stuff out.
And it's very cool when you can see people that genuinely want you to do well and to
be that person for others.
So I feel that way for both of you.
Oh. Well, happy Thanksgiving. And thank you, Karlai. I want you to do well and to be that person for others. So I feel that way for both of you.
