That's right. It's a Christmica, which I'm so excited about because that means I get to do both with my family.

Oh, my family is Jewish. Yes, I'm very excited. Who? I've been hearing a lot about you in the news. I've actually. I'm really interested to hear more. Boy, boy. I'm very excited for Hanukkah because it's always very fun with my family.

Okay, weird, Al. Fun menorah. Let's call him. Wait, but, like, how many minoras can you have? That's why I don't buy them. Ah. But I did buy them during the pandemic. I bought them a blue Hanukkah tree, a Christmas tree that's blue.

And some Hanukkah ornaments, because I was like, you need some pandemic, fun, you know? Did you feel like buying that tree? Did you feel like, I know this will be received well? Or is this like a, how is this going to be received? Well, my son of the family. They just don't always put up a tree. Sometimes they do put a tree. But I thought.

this way you would be more excited to put it up because it's kind of both. Yes. And they like it. I asked before I sent that. It's a very large gift to send people without making sure they want that. Yes. I passed the gnome? It was a gnome.

Passed the gnome. You passed the gnows. You swallowed it and finally passed it. That thing goes in, easier than it goes out. Let me tell you. I will say that. No, the gnome you hid in my bushes. Yeah.

What about it? I passed it the other day and saw it. Oh, you passed it. Yes. And you thought of me and you thought... And I thought of you and I thought, what a nice thing to do. Oh, that was fun. For me to thank you for it.

That was so nice of you. Mine's on our porch. Oh, mine's in my yard too and it's really fun. It's really fun. I actually have two. I have the big and the little. How can you get us two? You just gave us the little?

I think I gave you the little one. Okay. But you have two. If I see the big ones, they change the model. So if I went out there in the Target garden section, There is Lauren's a gnome freak We talked about it on a previous episode

She's a freak She's a fucking freak for nose Well I have a lot of little gnome Houses in my yard Feries She loves those little pointy-headed freaks There's a website that's called Are their heads pointed or just their house?

My fairy home or something I think their heads are pointing Are gnomes heads pointing? No That's the cone heads your thing is Because they take off the hat They rub their own parental units France

We are from France Or have you ever seen David the gnome Is he from who? David the gnome It's like an old, well, it's like a 90s cartoon that I think was probably a German. I don't know. It has the look of being German. But I don't know if it is.

And it's a nickel. It was a Nickelodeon and they, the theme song is really fun. The world of David the nun. The world is a vampire. You got to hear the theme song. Wait. Title screen of original David El Nomo opening. It's originally from what you guys talking about?

Oh, it's a Spanish scene. I didn't know that. Oh, interesting. Okay. It's narrated by Teofilo Martinez. Well, like the American version is... What are we talking about? Just voiced over or dubbed over or something.

A really great cartoon. Oh, it's from 1985 to 1987. You guys are both on your phones. It was followed by... We're informing the public. But I don't know what we're talking about. David's a no, motherfucker! What don't you fucking get?

You are making me mad. Hey, now it's freezing in here, right? I like it. I was able to. You like it? Okay, David Letterman. Keep it. You're sorry David El Njomo. Greetings, my friends.

In my magical kingdom, I wear a pointy hat and I go where I like. I don't grant wishes that somebody else. Lauren is so happy. Yes. Lauren loves it. Let's just let it get a little bit for them. I can't we see where it goes. This is where it breaks down.

I'm David the Noam man I'm here to say. I like to wear a hat every day. Birds that talk and fish that sing. Birds that talk, not that unusual. There are birds that can talk fish. Now you've got my attention. This is a show? Yes.

I'm really behind. It's almost over. Oh, it's a kingdom of the nom. Oh, it's a kingdom. I don't like that. Yeah. Well, it rocks. Down with the monarchy.

Yes, exactly. Yes. Are you going to watch the Megan Markle documentary? No. I'm not either. I'm sure I will. She and Harry made their own doc. Is it like the true story of?

They're finally telling it soon. And then she meets him. It's like, we just watched the most recent season of The Crown. I've seen random episodes of that, which I enjoy. And it's in the Diana years now where they get the divorce and everything. That's the part I was most excited about. But it is. Well, then you should watch it.

That's the part I've seen. But, yes, Scott is like one of the last scenes where Kevin Costner calls her and says, will you be in the bodyguard too? And she says, yes. The night before she dies. Is that true? Yes. Famously, I met her.

Famously, I met her. I did not know this story, and that's fucking insane. But anyway, no. She's still alive at the end of this season. Oh, no, that's so horrible. She's about to meet Doty, Alphiette. That's awful. Hi, Doty.

I'm sure I'll never die with you. Oh, my God, you are. So you have seen it. So you're a bad man is what you're saying. I just, those things that are set in the past where we all know the ends. I know. Yeah, when they do like fucking dumb foreshadowing and shit. Oh, I see.

Yeah. That's what I mean. One thing that's funny is Elizabeth Debicki plays Diana in this season. Who's Elizabeth Tabickey again? She's a extremely tall actress. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, from Barton to the Go. So have there been two seasons of Diana? Number two.

Yes. Yeah, because I saw some of the first Diana. There was the first Diana. She was so, or they were so good. It's a non-binary actor who did such a great job. And then Elizabeth Debicki is, she's good, but she's like, her being so tall. She played Diana. Oh.

I'm here to defend the tall person. Just wait. But it's kind of distracting when you're playing somebody that you know is not that tall. She was tall. She did not tower over Prince Charles. Oh, okay. Which you see.

Like, they don't have him on a box or anything. How tall was she? It is just. She was tall. Was she tall? Was she tall? Her head? How tall was princess?

Are you thinking that because you met her when you were a child? I was tough. Honestly, I was just thinking that might have been true. But I would guess she's 5-8. Hold on. Let's find out. 5-10, 5-10.

5-10. Five ten, wow. But De Viggy's like six three, isn't she? I think she's over six feet tall, yeah. Yeah. I'm not sure. I'm not sure either. Well, you know, you got to look her up.

And then how tall is Prince Charles? That's the other thing. He's four foot. Don't you love when you see his feet in hands? I love it so much when I see his feet. I've never seen his feet. I saw the feet the other day. Are they the same as the hand?

We were hooking up. She browses around. She checks on her score and then she goes out of the year. You know what? To me, what they say is, I have. have never lifted a thing in my life. I've only walked once. I've never done.

It's like print status of like his hands are so soft. His feet are so soft and plump. I thought you were talking about your own wiki feet. No. My wiki feet is like, I've never lifted a thing in my life. She is 6.3. Oh,

she's 6.3. That's significantly taller than 5'10. Yes. And significantly taller than everyone else on screen. But she, but it makes her. Being tall as an actress is difficult. I know, honey. We're not disparaging you.

Does Diana wear hats too? Like I'm sure like if there's a hat scene They're like, well, we can't do hats I think just at weddings and shit You got to put her in flats the whole time You got to put her in flats And then she's still like a giantess But there's something about it

That makes her very bird-like In the wig and everything Because she's kind of like Yeah I think she's trying to make her Of a little bit smaller sometimes Oh like hey I know I'm not supposed to be so tall Wait why did I fucking bring that up Oh

So there's scenes where There are scenes where... Oh, I had a point. This is what... A.k.a. 3 to... Something that never happens on the show. It happens so rarely that it is cause for celebration. Celebrate your point.

Come on. Let's celebrate. She, you know, she tells... She sort of covertly does an autobiography with what's his name, Andrew Morton. For Morton's Steakhouse? Yeah. Exactly.

Cool. She said, are you tired of writing steak menus? Do you want to write about me? It was crazy. She had the foresight to know it. Nobody sees this coming. So, but then she does an interview later with the BBC. And as I was thinking it, they have, I think, Queen Elizabeth say it on screen.

Like, how many times is she going to tell her story, finally tell her story? She's done it like again and again and again. Yeah. And I feel like the same with Prince. Harry and Megan Markle. It's like, finally, we tell our side of the story. Again? Well, when I...

All we hear is your side of the story. Yes, exactly. I saw something like here on the other side for once. No one knows the full story. Only we know the full story. And I guess now we're all going to know it. I know we know it. I know we could guess it.

Yeah. I mean, they suck. Okay. I'm interested. I'm interested. The royal family. Everyone? This incredibly archaic, outdated institution made a

of inbred people suck. Well, I, I don't understand. And no, and I, I apologize to people who, who love it for reasons that I can't comprehend. But what is there to like about it? It's just ceremonial, right? You know, I have always enjoyed the world family.

It's the tradition aspect of it. Tradition. Tradition. Not enjoyed, I guess, but I've, I've taken an interest. Tradition. And every time that I've been so lucky to travel to London, I enjoy going by and seeing the things

and seeing the jewels and all that type of, so I find it very interesting. to some extent, but I, and I also think it's actually more interesting in some ways now with it being so modern and they're being, and now people breaking away from it, it's like, it's changing. Like I think when you go and you look at the museum stuff and you see all the old jewels, it's like it feels so long ago. It's actually not. I think that's part of what's interesting with the crown. Yeah. Is that you go, wait, that was like the 50s. You know, it's like, it's not long ago. It's like that's kind of weird. Like those people that we're talking about are like, yeah. It's like I sort of put them in a category. Like, they're not the same age as people I really know. It's like, they exist in this other world. But it's like, no, that's my grandma's age. 200 years earlier than the time that they're actually.

Right, right. But it's like, no, they're happening here. They're still doing it. They could go to Target. They just don't. You know? That would be so cool to see Prince Charles at Target. The great leveler.

But will you go to Target? I'm there like every fucking day. Excuse me. King Charles. That's true. He's the king now. We thought it would never happen. Do you know, I referred to Princess Diana's Lady Die almost all the time when I think of her.

I forget that she was Prince, because it was Lady Die for such a long time and when I was growing up. And then I heard an English person on a TV show refer to her as Lady Die. And I felt like, oh, I'm not the only one. What's the difference? Before she was Princess Die, she was Lady Die. So she became Princess when what happened? She married. Oh, just marrying him.

Prince Charles. But she, a lady is a title. Well, no, because. No, the first time she gave him a blowjob. Because Kate has been married and not been. So I was just, I'm just doing the, making the family tree in my head. So she was, Duchess. She was engaged.

She was Lady Dye. That's what I'm wondering. Like, how do you get the title of Lady? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I'm not a total idiot. And then, of course, Lord Die. But you know, nobody talks about him. I think there's a lot of men from my generation who are from Mars, we know.

Who don't really know anything about them. like yeah why would they nobody should but i feel like i was raised to know about them i feel you were raised to meet her i was i remember i'm old enough to have someday our daughter is going to need a baby die i was you were groomed for it your parents were like this is going to be your destiny it was extremely exciting you're going to peek early but um i was going to be great when i was it i remember that the royal wedding happening when i was a kid yeah me too yeah it was a huge deal or how was i remember that or just saw it was born i just saw or I've seen videos

you may have just seen videos I don't know because I was I was like young took place in the middle of the day didn't know that yes here we watched it in the middle of the day yeah I don't know what time it was there

I want to see what year they got one a.m they got married one a year well she passed away so that we could watch it she passed away in 96 or 7 or 97 97 in January I was at the

no because they got married in 81 so it was before I was born but they so I must have just seen it 5 million. Okay. You don't have to rub it. Well, because I've seen it.

She looked pointedly at me. I felt so familiar, but I'm like, I wasn't, I clearly didn't. Lauren said that's before I was bored. She looked right at me and she put her thumb in her mouth like she was a baby.

And she said, goo? And then followed by goo. I followed it up with Gah. I was at the Rustikin on Hillhurst and sitting in the back in one of the booths. Yold Rustican? And they had a TV there.

How'd you get there? What was your route? Let's see. I probably went from, I was living on Cherokee. I probably went Franklin and then turned, I guess, left on Hillhurst. That left is not bad. Hold on a second.

Yeah, left on Hillhurst. Yeah. That's a tough left. But then the place is on the right. So I have to cross the street. But I remember a guy jumped up when the news came on. this fucking guy jumped out of his seat and went oh my god no

and he dropped to his knees he was like clutching his head I thought it was that she got married no I thought I hit a shot I was just about to fly over there no I remember watching on the news and it was really devastating because I had just met her

this guy was like why is it always the good ones wasn't this because I I know I was in San Luis Obispo playing in an amateur football game that we would play What the fuck are you talking about? The week in between.

Amateur football game. Yes. Thank you. So wasn't a professional. Was it the Peanuts edition? You were not playing the NFL. Was it the Peanuts edition? Peanuts football.

Petus football. Come on. Shut the fuck up. Was it penis football? Ah! Oh shit, we got to take a break. Scott was playing football. Shut the fuck up.

We got to take a break. I'll tell this one on the other side. Yeah, in the meantime, shut the fuck up. Get ready to embark on an unforgettable journey where the worlds of fantasy, sci-fi, gaming, and more come to life like never before. Okay, I'm ready. You said to get ready. I packed everything.

Are you ready? Yeah, I'm ready now. Okay. What are you talking about? Yeah, what are you talking about, though? Because I'm ready now. All right, you figured it out. That's right.

I'm talking about Comic-Con the cruise. Oh, this is... Comic-Conna Cruz, what? This is more than a convention, folks. You'll get to meet and interact with fan-favorite celebrities, enjoy intimate experiences you won't find anywhere else, and skip the endless lines found at other land-based events. Okay, let me guess.

This happens from January 30th to February 3rd, 2026, and you're sailing from Tampa to Nassau on the celebrity constellation. These are great guesses. This four-day luxury cruise fuses your favorite parts of the Comic-Con community with unique, interactive, and immersive experiences, designed exclusively for fans like, you. Four days at sea where everyone is welcome and every event is open to all.

It's the ultimate fan adventure. I remember hearing about this. There's going to be epic theme nights. There's going to be cosplay, panels, workshops, and late night conversations and parties. This is everything I go to Comic-Con and San Diego for. It's a floating community. Yeah, floating community. Where you can truly be yourself.

You've seen you so furious. I'm mad, but I'm getting happier.

The quality holds up and the price still blows me away. Quince has the kind of fall staples you'll wear nonstop, like super soft, 100% Mongolian cashmere sweaters starting at $60. I got to ask you about their denim. Okay, well, their denim's durable. And it fits right. What about leather jackets? They are real, and they bring that clean, classic edge without the elevated price tag. Sounds good.

What makes Quince different? Hey, everyone. Oh, hey, well, they partner directly with ethical factories and skip the middlemen so you get top-tier fabrics and craftsmanship at half the price of similar brands. Can I hear some personal experience from you? Because I'm still a little skeptical for some reason. Well, one of my favorite pieces from Quince is their 100% marino wool all-season short-sleeve tea. Now, I've been trying to incorporate more natural fibers into my wardrobe, as I'm telling you all the time, and wool totally fits the bill.

It's naturally heat regulating, so it helps keep you warm in winter, cool in summer. The perfect thing for this in-between season. Now, I've been wearing mine so much, I just ordered one in another color. I want to keep it classic and cool this fall. Do you have any suggestions? You should do that with long-lasting staples from Quince. Go to quince.com slash Threedom for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. So that's great for-you-spell it.

I was good. I was going to say the 365-day returns is amazing because if you're like me, sometimes you forget to return something. Yes. And you miss the window. It's like 200 days in.

named after my friend Doug up in San Luis Obispo where it was the short hairs versus the long hairs. What did you say? The short hairs versus the long hairs. You had enough friends

with long hair? Yeah, because in San Luis Obispo everyone's like they're a certain type of person has long hair and is kind of a layabout and then there's a certain type of person who has a job

and is a corporate guy. So it's the short hairs versus the long ears. They're both bad to be clear. I hate them all. So we so. If there were dogs I'd like it. The short hairs versus the long hairs?

I just remember it happening then. So was it the Sunday or was it Saturday night? I don't remember the day of the week and I apologize for that. Well, Scott loves to remember the day and the location of the film. I remember it was nighttime. It was night. So it was night. It was not day drinking.

Yes. Because I remember it, I must not have heard it on the Saturday night. I must have like woken up. Did the news reach the Doug Bowl? So it came out of the field. But I believe we. She died in the early hours. of the 31st of August

1997, so it must have been middle of the night. Hey, real quick, my... In the middle of the night in France. In the middle of the night in France. Okay, so let's... Oh, he's in a Paris tunnel, right? What time did we learn about it in the U.S.? Yes.

Okay. What... While you're looking for that, here's some other celebrity heights because this is, people also search for these. Oh, good. Claire four. Daisy Ridley,

five, seven. Daisy Riddle. I'm trying to picture these people, as you say. You're going to... John David Washington, 5-9. Oh. Dominic West? Six feet.

From the affair? What time is it in Paris? Tom Hollander, 5-5. Alicia Vikander, 5-6. So it's 1 a.m. right now. So it would have been... So let's say she died at 4. 53 a.m.

So it's 3 hours later. Almost 4 hours. So it was 8 p.m. here. Okay. So it must have been, yeah, it must have been Saturday night. There we go. I think. So I have an airtime alibi.

I could be... That's where I was. And you were not in France? I was not in France. I was a rustic in. Okay. Tell me if you recognize this name. Palm Clementeaf.

Oh, yeah, from Guardians of the Galaxy. Oh, five seven. Oh, cool. What does, what does Palm play? She's Mantis. She has a big part in the Christmas special. I haven't seen that. I don't remember Mantis.

I've seen the first two movies. The Princess Diana Beanie Baby making a topic of that generation. Very true. Very true. Were those made before she passed away or were they made out? They were in Memorial because they had the... They were made to replace her. One of them.

Don't worry, guys. We become princess. We got this handled. She will not, you will not have the void of her in your life. We're going to make this beanie baby. It's going to do everything you need. And you can retire. Will you buy this thing and you're set for life? Well, if you have one, it does all the same things that you had when she was live

and that you didn't speak to her. That's right. You didn't talk to her. Exactly. Yeah. Why didn't they make more beanie babies of dead people? Are Beanie babies still worth anything? No, and I've tried, sweetie pie.

They really aren't. Everyone thought they were going to, like, send their kids to college with them. Yeah. Well, my mom did sell some of mine at the time, and I remember being a little upset, but she got a few hundred bucks for a few of them. And I was like, you know what? Looking back, she was right. I don't know which ones are gone. Yeah, she did.

She went on a bender. She loves getting hired. But I have all my Beanie babies here in L.A. now. So if you guys want to see them some time, you can call. I love to. I have all my NFB. I have all my NFTs here. Oh, good.

As well. I have all my NFTs here. Remember when we talking about NFTs a lot? Yeah. That was like a moment for us. It was fun. Yeah. Like, should we do them?

Should we not do them? Yeah. Yeah. I remember we were torn. What other are, like that one company went out of business. There was a big scandal, right? The FTX. Yeah, they're all like three letter companies.

Like WTF guys, right? NFG. No fucking token. No fucking token. Are they still, like, it's all going to collapse, isn't it? That dumb shit? No idea. Well, there are a lot of crypto bros who will get very angry if you say.

Oh, of course. And they will defend Elon Musk. I think there's a whole community actively participating in that, but I do think it became less talked about. Why did we kind of all? I just don't think anyone likes them anymore. Okay. Yeah, I don't like them.

Yeah. There was a time. You really liked it. Oh, I liked them so much. Remember when on Twitter. you could replace your circular profile picture with... You can just say profile picture. Octagonal.

No, what? Yeah. I didn't, I didn't know that it was octagonal. Wow. Lauren, I'm so proud of you. Lauren's halfway done with the signing. I'm going to piss on these now. No.

If I wanted to do. You could. You could go to the bathroom on them. No, I'm just turned all over. You never could. My hands hurt. No. I was surprised my

I did not get hand hurt My hands are cold I think is what I'm experiencing Okay, do you want us to turn up the heat dear? No Okay I don't want to sail the heat

To say it to the heart Some like it Hop and Some like it's hot and some But do Doo do do do Doo do like it hot I loved that record

Some like it hot I liked Robert Palmer Yeah I used to listen to Robert Palmer I liked that song Dr. Dr. Jimmy, the news Yeah, that's a good one I like

I liked his Addicted a little Smat as well addicted his spuds But the remake of Bang and Gong I thought was very good That was also from Power Station That was the power station

Yeah That album's great And actually was what he based his Hit The sound that he based his hit songs on after that because of the success of that album. He had such a positive experience. Yeah, well, he used Tony Thompson.

Is that the drummer from Sheik? He used him. One of the Thompson twins? No, no. Anyway. Did you know they weren't twins? And there were three of them? Yeah.

What? Can you imagine? I saw a picture of them and I was like, am I allowed to see this picture? Because the secret's out. When you first saw Boy, George, what did you think? I mean, I was,

I was a kid, but I was, I guess, a teen. You're a teenager, yeah. And of course, you know, I thought he's like, this guy's the craziest thing I've ever seen. Yeah. And then you were like, I like it. I thought it was normal and everyone acting like it was crazy, was weird.

Scott. That's how far advanced I am. He was, he was a weird o. He's good friends with one of the real housewives. Which one? That's not surprising. Is it Doreet? Who's he always?

Oh, that's right. Didn't he? Didn't he sing at one of their parties? I don't know how I know that. She's like, boy, George is going to sing at my party. Her accent is. Boy, George is going to sing. It's my party.

I'm not doing it right. Would you do a real housewife show? With just the three of us. Yeah. Wait, but you know what? I do know, I do know multiple people who were asked to be real housewives. Really? Do you really?

I do. Yeah. Yeah. And, well, yeah. I mean, you know of at least. I'll tell you later. But they both said no. but I'm like, this, I was begging them to do it because I was like...

Soon you said multiple people was two. Two. Yeah. That's multiples. I mean, it is multiple. I was trying to keep it a little... It does, it does seem. But can you believe I knew more than one?

No. No, I can't. Can you believe anyone at all? I can't. No. And neither of them, I know. And neither of them are what you would think of as typical. That type.

But this year, they're kind of shaking it up. Like New York is about to have like Jenna Lyons, who's like the, she used to do all the... Is she one of the lines in front of... She was, like, the head of J. Crewe and had, like, all of their, like, huge rebranding when they became, like, really, like, gold, glitter, fun, action. I don't know what this is. Well, it happened. Whether you know it or not, it's history. And she's super cool, but she, like, she seems too cool, you know, it's like, we got a whole new generation coming in of interesting people.

Because you want someone who's a bit of a hot mess. Well, I think we'll find out that some of them are. Oh. But I can't wait. But don't you think it would be fun to do. We don't, and you don't have to call it real housewives. You can switch pens, by the way, if that one's running. It's not.

You don't have to call it real housewives, but just call it like the three friends. And cameras follow us around. The three friend wives. I don't think we would make a good reality show. Why? I think, wouldn't do you think it be horrible? I think we would be forced to sort of fight with each other. We'd be like, yeah.

Well, if they're manufacturing fights. It would be heavily scripted. Yes, of course. I mean, already on Mike, we're playing it up a little bit. We talk exactly like the. when we're hanging out it's so what we have to do

well let's do our our intro our little intro lines like when they oh I don't know they have intro lines I'm not a slut I just get down

with whatever yeah like that okay just get down with whatever I had to find it I am a slut so Lauren

you start us up because you know this form very well um so it's like the music how about like the three friend wives

of Los Angeles Angelus. And then the title comes up. Lauren. Is this Lauren Cool Up and Janie are in the show? No, it's just the three of us. Yeah, yeah. We're the three friend wives.

And I go. So we see, we're the three friend wives, yeah. So we see Lauren. Okay. Like, she turns around into frame, you know, and then her name comes up. I don't just talk dirty. I play dirty, too. What I don't, boy, Scott.

Oh, these guys hang out with me as sort of a favor. Okay, that's a little off theme. It could be a little sassier, I think. Oh, okay. Let's try. I'm going to keep you in again. Scott. I'm old and I'm tired all the time.

Oh, no. Actually, that was a little better. But I think we could beat it. Yeah, yeah. Let's do one more. Scott. I have some impending medical problems that I'm really worried about. Oh, now we're going backwards.

Oh, no. I think that. Okay. Like, if there's a sort of play on words or something, that's always fun. That's kind of why I use dirty two different ways. Yes, exactly. All right. You want to do yours?

Okay. No, I'm not ready. I'm not ready. Hey, Cosby. Wow. I'll tip my hat to you, but I won't tip a waiter. Wow. I'm like the villain.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, that's good. Scott I will tip a waiter but I won't I won't wait for no anyone no you can't refer to the other one you have to do it's to be stand alone well you have your hat thing and she's got her dirty fucking mouth I have nothing you have that DVD collection oh Scott I have a lot of DVDs but DVDs doesn't stand for dozen video okay dicks Let me try one, let me try one. I'm workshopping. Wow, Lauren. I spend my days wiping asses, but I spend my nights taking names.

Kicking asses? Yeah, it's not like sense. I don't know. Something. You mean both Holly and Mike. Yeah, you're wiping Mike's ass. No, I white Holley's. She's only got one.

Well, it was supposed to be. By the time I'm on the show, I have like eight kids. And I'm like, I'm like, covered in that. Oh, do you have seven more coming? I could be. I'm covered in kids and I'm like and I'm just like

look I know I look like a crazy mom during the day but when I go out at night I dress like a slut and I fight like a whore. I wouldn't want to do that I wouldn't want to fight with you guys Oh come on

I'd flip a table in your general direction. I'm glad that Monty Python and reality TV could finally come together. That's what's great. I don't even know what I'm quoting. I fart in your general reaction. Oh, okay.

Oh, and I shouldn't make these one piles, shouldn't I? That's okay. You can if you want. It's fun to make one pile. Yeah, it's fun to make piles. How many times do you wipe Holly said? I'm interested. How many times a day?

Well, you know, as they get older, you don't have to change their diaper as frequently. So you're in a stage right now where you're doing it every couple hours at least probably, right? It's never four. Yeah. And once again, I want to say, I'm sorry, sniffed into the microphone and we will cut that up.

Okay. Okay. I probably change like, four diapers a day. All of them, Hollies? I don't have to speak on the other diapers I'm changing. So that's every, it sounds like that's every six, you know, but it doesn't make sense because it's not during the night.

So like, let's see, I do one in the morning, then I do one before nap time, then I do one after nap time, then I do one before, you know, change it before the bath, then I do, and maybe there's one in the middle. and then I do one before bed or put it on, but then I don't count that because I'm just putting on. So we'll say four or five. Four or five.

Okay. You have a 10-month head start on me. So I need to know, like, what do I need to know in this next 10 months? Oh, good. Yeah. I have a 14 month. I have a 14-month. Oh, that's true.

Okay. So what do I need to know in this next 14 months? You don't need to know any of it now. You just need to know what's happening right now. Really, I honestly think that's true. Like, you just, I feel like for me, it was more, it's overwhelming to, like, think too far ahead. It's like, okay, what's the next thing she's going to do? Like, she'll, you know, in a couple months she'll start rolling over and stuff.

And then you have to change up how she sleeps because that'll change that. So, like, don't worry about that yet because you don't have to do it yet, you know? It's just too many things. Like, who gives shit at this point? Well, it's just like you are here. At this point, I feel like I'm doing really well because it's like. Right. And you'll continue to because you'll just change slowly each new thing that happens.

And you don't have to get overwhelmed by all of the things that are going to happen. Now, we sent you a picture of. my daughter the other day and you correctly identified she was wearing Holly's old pants yeah I realize I never have to buy clothes

ever again because you'll just constantly give me Holly's old clothes and I will give you a lot I was actually going to go through it made me kind of feel like I should buy some clothes for Holly now that'd be great so that I can get them eventually yeah that'd be really nice

this is a great scheme I was like I wonder how people feel about this and I think it depends on how much storage you have in your house but like I was holding on to so much stuff and then I started to feel really overwhelmed and I was like wait because even if I have another child I can't keep everything she outgrew because then she continues to outgrow for years it's like it goes on forever so I started just getting rid of things which felt really good but at the time when I'm packing them away I was like oh these are so sentimental and then when I opened it I was like oh I don't really care about this but it was nice for you to go holly's bands oh no the past I gave cool up all the things I

gave club were things that I thought were really cute and special. And then I donated a lot of things that were kind of just like, whatever. I wanted to see a picture of Holly in them as well. I know. I was looking. I have to find it. I think. I'd like to try them on.

They have a little butterfly on the butt. Sisterhood of the traveling butterfly butt pants. What if they fit? And those were also a hand-me-down from, I believe, Jonathan Silverman's child. Oh, wow. And he's seen a lot of butts. Yeah. The pants, the single guy residuals bought.

Yeah. Isn't that nice? Yes. Well, that's great. He gave me like a really nice bag of hammy-downs. We're working together on good girls. Yeah. And I think he's so great.

And some of that stuff ended up in Emerald's. I mean, already Emerald's grown out of her first stuff. So we are passing it on to other people. We got... Why did anyone make any new clothes? Well, and that's also the hard thing

with relying expensive baby stuff. Why are we all just trading clothes? Yes, we should. So fast. But then when I get a hammy down of something that's like a nice brand, because also like, cool up and I have a mutual friend who has Hammy Downs coming our way

multiple times where the stuff is good and I'm like, this is a friend of yours who continues to grow. Yeah. The baby has nice brands and we both are very excited to receive the good brand. I know the person. Well, I need to intercept some of these because I'm like,

I need them first and then Emerald. Is it part of the friend group that says your hair looks fucked up? No. But she probably would tell you. Yeah. We got the the Ackerman family Christmas card. Oh, good. Oh, it's so cute. I just made mine the other day.

Looking forward to it. I pray I'm on the list. You are. You'll get one. We find, yeah, we, I don't think we've made one in a few years because the COVID years is like, what are we doing? Who wants to do that? Who wants to sit? Like, we're going to sit around with.

Who wants to have their fucking picture taken? Unshowered, sitting around in sweats. Well, I didn't take photos. I just compiled some that I liked. I don't care. The one of Emerald Yawning was so cute. That was the only photo that was good because we got a, it was. We got her in it.

We got our two, no, three dogs and Kulop's sister. And there was literally one picture where everyone is looking at the camera. There's at least one dog or enrolled or, you know. Who took the photo? A friend of ours. Okay. You didn't have to worry about a timer. Oh, God.

Just an old friend. Who's the one, the lady who takes the pictures of the babies in. And Geddes. And Gettys, thank you. Also, the deep dive art. I don't know her work enough to be confident to say that name. Paul, have you ever sent a Christmas card like that, like with a photo? No, I haven't.

And Jane and I think about it every year and then we never do it. You should do it. I really wish you would. You have time right now. This is a classic. And they're having sales. Here's what, look. Do this.

I'm not a place where I want to be photographed right now. I'll tell you that for free. Do you have a nice picture of you guys from this year? Because that's really. Absolutely not. Here's what you do. do yeah you get some duct tape you put it over janey's mouth and then you hold up a sign that says peace on earth oh my god this is a classic this is a classic that honestly would be funny everyone is

no it is it is like a classic funny yeah no no no people from whom that when i say classic i mean like basic people there there are a lot of people who do that every year and like i saw someone posting about it the other day of like, well, it's that time a year again where this, this type of person does this. You know what? If you're not funny and you're making that, it's actually so misogynistic, I can't take it. Absolutely horrible. But if you did it, it's funny. Kind of. I don't think so. You don't want that picture out there.

No, no, no. Not funny enough for me. No, no. I agree. I don't think it's actually good, but I do think the irony makes layers that I can then, you know, board with. I understand. Yeah. But I think what we, what we need to do is we need to do a picture around Christmas time for the next Christmas. Yeah. So we do a picture now. You're going to automatically look worse next year than you feel right now.

That's absolutely true. So take it now, take it now, even though you don't feel great about how you look, because next year you'll look even shittier. That's so true, Scott. And you'll go, look at this. You know what? Don't you hate that. I can look back and say, that's what I thought I looked shitty.

I know. I think that's, that is every picture for me. I think that's a horrible truth about life. I do have some pictures where I'm like, I look good in this photo. No, I, every, you should. Everything from six years ago, I'm like, great. Man, why did I feel bad? Scott, I think you're very handsome.

I think you look nice. Thank you very much. It's true. We have to take a break. I was going to chime in, but I was signing and now it's a break. Oh, too bad. Oh, well. Oh, no, no, no.

It's too late. It's too late. We've got to take a break. All right. We'll take a break. We'll be back. Every caregiving journey is unique, but the isolation, guilt, and exhaustion we all feel, that's universal. It's reality, it's life, you know.

I wish it could all be happy and joyous, but sometimes it's full of rage, and that is what it is. That's why this show exists, to be a safe place for caregivers to land. Listen to Squeezed wherever you get your podcast. And we're back. I turned it up. Too loud. I've been going up and down. It's not Freedom Rock.

Turn it down, man. These pretzels are making me Thursday. It is time for the three-cher. If you'd like to send us a three-cher idea, please do. Please write to us at FreedomUSA.gmail.com. Don't be insulted when we don't like them. No. And look, it can be anything that when they're kind of a game, that personally is more fun to me.

Sometimes they end up just being kind of fodder for doing little scenes. Is Matt aware of the Gmail? Okay, good, good, good. I just realized. I was like, has anyone even looking at that? What if there's thousands? I mean, how when do we get like one guy? Once again, I've been ignored.

Well, soon you'll see. So we're going to play a little game. This is a game. This is a classic. What do you... Go out of bed a-ed-o. What's she up to? Where's Dido?

She was not backing up Eminem at the Rock Hall of Fame. I'll tell you that much. It was Ed Shearin singing that. That's wild. But I think I might enjoy that cover. What about Fido-Dido? Where's he been? I was going to bring up Fidoido.

But you didn't know if it was the right time? I thought maybe too soon. I read the room and I decided no. No, no, no. We're not doing that today. We're going to play a classic freedom three chair called Celebrity Hunt. Hunt. This is where we all yell Hunt and then we go in a circle and one person will name a celebrity.

Then we yell, hunt. Then the next person has to name a celebrity that begins with the last letter of the name that was previously said. Do you get it? I do. I got it. And we all, and what they said. say the name and then we go hunt and then the next person does it yeah and if you take too long oh you're fucking out you're out and then the others you have to keep going because we do need

to have some competition we need to otherwise healthy it's yeah for the spirit yeah it's good for the show yeah okay if we if we are constantly jockey for a position I think it's good for the show I think so too well do you feel like you're winning freedom by the way because that is like a 90% at the time. Oh, see, I always think I'm winning. So that's interesting. I always think I'm losing. Aw. At least somebody's right. Here we go.

It's you winning 90% of the time. This is how we play. This is how we play this celebrity hunt. And shall I start? Yeah. You know, go me, Scott, Lauren, in that order? Yes. Clockwise.

It is. I wish we could do that on our own without having to be able and recording. It's true. We don't have to do the game. How about we can just yell Hunt? It should be like we should do it. Well, but it's yelling it together is fun. Let's do a round where the rule is a little different and we just have to say someone where
