I'm bridged Shannon. And I'm Colleen Shannon. And this is the Christmas episode. Yeah, it is. The holidays jingle my cock. I don't know. Oh. Wow. I'm in a weird mood. I don't know. Yeah, I can tell. Is it the cosmos that I made that are way too strong? No, I'm just kidding. Yes, they're gonna kill us both. No, I just wanna get silly. That's all. I'm like antsy, you know? I'm like, ooh, ooh, ooh. Okay. How do we scratch that itch? I don't know. For you just yap. Yap. Okay, great. Good timing. Okay, well we have lots of really fun things. This episode, everyone's favorite, our annual Christmas swap. A 2025 recap, which was really hard to do without it being depressing. Yeah, nothing really good. No liter historically. Nope, nope, nope. So I kept it very light. We kept it pop culturey, we kept it trendy, we kept our fun, we kept it fun, horror, genocide, fire, et cetera. I'm really glad that you did that because quite frankly, I can't remember what happened last week. No, I know. And I can't wait to tell you about month one'cause you're good. This is what you did last year too. You were like, that was this year you, but I feel like this year has felt like 10. So I think a lot of people are gonna feel that way. I agree. Oh, so excited. My favorite episode of the year. Okay. What have you been up to? Let's start how we normally do. Okay. Alright. Jingle Jangle. I can't remember because I have Alzheimer's. Did we talk about how I went out to Care Nation and put my pussy yet? No. Okay, cool. I did write on the calendar. Okay. So last weekend Johnny and the girls went out. Man's and the girls. Yeah. Always. We went to Girl 23, had ourselves a couple, 1, 2, 3 martinis and apps. Man's was not happy that we were just getting apps, but you know what? We were in and out. We were so respectful, like just trying to get a little beverage and feel cute and then we will leave. Okay. Got it. Cool. That's all I need to know. I had my little faux fur and then we walked to, we walked to Cleary's, met up with man's brother and pals, and then we skirted right outta there and we went to Carrie Nation. However, the time in which we arrived at Carrie Nation was the line. Yeah. So the line was rough around the building. And so we stood there at the end, feeling feeling low, morale was low, and we thought to ourselves, what, what's a girl to do? What's a girl? What's a girl's and a guide to do? Mm-hmm. Girls. And Fiona saw a door and she said, oh, like, let's just, and she just opens the door and we're like, Fiona, that's like a, an office or something. Like, get the fuck outta there. And she's like, no, I can hear the music. And so then we like peeked our heads in and it was giving like closet, but there was a staircase down and then kind of a, a hallway, you could tell it like turned into a different hallway and you could hear the music from the band inside. So we like peek in and we're like tiptoeing in, like, should we be in here? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. Like, we know we shouldn't man here. All of a sudden I'm like, I'm going in. And so I go down the stairs and I turn the corner and I am eye to eye with some five, one little cook, sweet angel man just looking back at me. And so I just smile back and I'm like, Hey. And I like did that thing where I like put my shoulders down and I'm like, oh, I act confused. I'm like, oh, is this not? And you know, and I'm like pointing like, am I in the wrong place? Am I? And he's like saying like, up front, up front, you have to go around and go up front. And I'm like, oh. And then I go, but, and I can, and I'm like pointing my ear. I'm like, I can, I can hear it. And then I point, there's a door right next to him and I go, can I go through? And then I just, he immediately like knows. But you could tell he's like edging on, like, do I let her go or do I not? Yeah. And I just put a finger on my lips and I go, sh. And he goes, okay, okay, okay. And he runs outta the way. Oh my God. This man, I turn to the girlies and Johnny and I'm like, let's go, let's go, let's go. We open the door, we, we come out next to the stage and we just skirt in, no questions asked Hello band. I, yeah, we're immediately in front of the band and I turned to my right and the little cook puts his head outside the door, looks at me and I just like pointed at him and he just giggling and he goes back, oh my, whoever that man is, I owe you my life. I hope that every time he puts a coat on, he finds 20 bucks in his pocket. A hundred percent. Like he was so cute. I just wanted to put him in my pocket. But lemme tell you, this, playing dumb and delusional might get you somewhere. I don't know. Wow. That's incredible. Yeah. I love that journey for you, that the best night you, because now once you get in, you also have to get on a wait list to get into the club part. The world was happening in our favor'cause we looked, were like, screw, I love when that happens. Screw the fucking wait list. And I just walked, I had my fur coat on and I walked up. I just, can, I just like hang my coat in right there in that, that coat rack and it's at the top of the stairs and they're like, yeah, sure. I just went in. Smart. Yeah. And so the, and then when I came out and they have those fucking tablets and they're like, wait, what's your name? Yeah. And you're like, annoying. This is Carrie Nation. But also you just, just come out the bathroom and you're like, oh, I'm just coming back up. That's, that's just, that's fair. Then you forgot to stamp at me and they're like, okay. So World was working in our favor. Pretend like you run the place or confused. And they can, there can't be any in between. Play dumb. Yeah. Dumb and delusional till I die. And we had the time of our lives. Oh good. It might've been due to other things put in my body. We were just having random time. We were getting silly. Oh, silly. Silly. Very, very silly. Silly. It was very, very warm though. That's my one problem. Ah, that does happen. When I also had gotten a shot in my neck. That day. Can you please explain what you mean to the people who don't know that you went to the chiropractor? Oh yeah. Because that sounded insane. I went to my regular scheduled chiropractor, but this time it was a specialist and I just thought I was gonna go discuss some options, right? And he's like, oh yeah, I'm here. I got the big, I got the big dick needle if you want it. And I'm like, if you think I should, he's like, oh yeah, it's literally no problem. But then I realized afterwards, I'm like, to him that's like nothing. Like he does that shit all day every day. It's always gonna be his recommendation'cause that's his literal fucking job. Like he's an anesthesiologist and like does invasive shit like that. And I was just like, yeah, sure, let's fucking go. And then me and as I'm like laying there titties to the table, my naked back up and I'm like, oh, he's literally about to put a needle the size of my fucking arm into my neck. I didn't really realize that. So I, but I just did that thing where I just dissociated and then, yeah, I was like, so that's happening. Yeah. I don't think I, and as it's happening, I'm like, I don't think I could be doing, I think I could live without this. But it was done. So that was that. Basically they put like a steroid in my neck. It's supposed to like fix the inflammation in my neck to which is the reason that I'm cracking and I'm have so much discomfort is'cause things are all inflamed and outta place. So hopefully that works. I've been cracking less so I think it's gonna work. But he did say. I did ask, am I supposed to like not do things? Like what's the tea on this? What's the aftermath? And he was like, oh yeah, that it'll just be a little sore. I was fine though. So I was like, Hmm, okay. By the time I was popping my pussy after multiple martinis and I just like forgot that I was supposed to like take good a's day and I, when we left the bar, I was like, holy shit. And I laid, it's happening. I laid on the ground outside and was just like, get me home. No. Explain what's happening in the video you sent me. It's one of my all time favorites of your boyfriends. The girlies were silly and John was trying to reel in the animals. That was no us story. Silly is the understanding of the century. You guys are blacko fucking drunk. Aaron is quite literally hanging on him for bodily support. Cannot stand on her own. She goes to hug him. He has his phone in his right hand. He's, he's order in ordering chicken nuggets, order you food. And he's holding Aaron up with one arm as he's on his phone, completely unfazed with her as she dies. Laughing in in the background. You are fully laying on the ground in your fur coat and Fiona's recording in the background going. And Fiona is giggling and asks him for a big Wang when he says, what do you want? Oh yeah. And she says A big Wang in the entire video. He's here by that year. Just kidding. Is so chaotic. Yeah. And poor man's is fighting for his life. And you are laid. Like when I first watched it, I didn't see you. Oh, I was at peace. I could've laid there all fucking week. We actually have, we don't have to post the whole video'cause I don't wanna do that to your friends, but we have to post the picture of you screenshotted laying on the ground. We could do that. I can make that happen. Okay, great. It's hilarious. Can I tell you quick sidebar, what I almost bumped into you at Carrie Nation that night. Did you? But the, the odds were not in our favor. Why is that? I was walking to Carrie Nation and one of our friends fell. Oh. And it was fine. She's totally fine. But we were like, it might be time to call an Uber. And her husband was like, I'm already on it. And then another friend had also left and there were a few of us left. And we were like, do we wanna go to Hong Kong? And then we rerouted. I mean, but I was Hong Kong on my way to you. On my way to you. And so of course I ended up at Hong Kong. My, the love of my life. I tried to go to the Black Rose line was wrapped around the building and I said, not today, Satan. All roads lead back to Hong Kong. They're supposed to lead to the black grows, but they end up leaving to Hong Kong every, every fucking time. It's a little detour. It's fine. It's just a constant detour. It's fine. Anyway, continue. That I had a really peaceful, like wholesome weekend. I dunno how I feel about that. Aw, he has a house in Maine and we, I never went up there in the winter, obviously only this summer.'cause this is like my first winter with him. And he's been to North Conway, but he's never like been to North Conway, you know what I mean? He's driven through but he has not stopped in wander. Yeah. He might've stopped at like a restaurant before, but like nothing crazy. Yeah. So I was like, what is North Conway To the people who aren't from there. North Conway is like a cute little town center in New Hampshire. Very wintry, fun people ski there at Cranmore Mountain. It's exactly what you think of winter in New Hampshire. Yeah, exactly. No, no. There's like cute little stores. There's restaurants, Rogers a ton of mountains like Knicknacky shit restaurants, lot of tchotchkes. Love a tchotchke. Very comfy Co. So I didn't really tell him anything and I booked us, I told him it was a really scenic mountain train ride. But it in fact was not. It was the cog Santa's workshop polar express situation. So basically what you need to know is it's a cog railroad, basically. It's a fucking train. It's literally a fucking, it's so cute. No, I know. But see, here's the thing. We were not hungover, but like we drank the night before. You make this man do so many activities he does not want to do. No, I know. So I'm like, he's like, oh, it's me. Scene. This is like, he loves the outdoor, like, he's like, this is sick. I'm like, Uhhuh, Uhhuh, uhhuh. We pull up and it's like elves fucking everywhere and I gets meant for children. Yeah. We get our, well, he's like, I gotta the bathroom. I'm like, okay, I forgot to say I'm also going to the bathroom. And so he came out and was looking for me and was like frantic as if I got kidnapped. Like there's children and elves running around, like I'm not getting kidnapped. And then I come out and I was like, oh, I was looking for you in there. And he is like, I was looking for you in there. And it was just like a whole thing. And we get on the train and it's so cold and there's children fucking everywhere. And he's like, what is this? He's seeing the Christmas presents. And I'm like, Santa's coming to town. Santa's coming to the train plan's coming on. And he's like, okay. At least he'll be like, scenic. Alright. He's not saying anything bad. Like he'll, he'll do whatever. Like, he's not like that. Yeah, he's easy. Yeah, he's very, so he's like, oh, I can't fucking can't with you. And so they play like the Christmas music, the Santas coming around, the elves are coming around. And Mrs. Claus did tell him he was on the nice list, but like, he was like edging, like onto mischievous. And I was like, I yeah, I hear you. She's like, did you bring him? I'm like, yes, Mrs. Claus. Unfortunately I did. I'm responsible for this. But then the elves came around and was like, we have donuts. And he was totally content with that. And he was so close to grabbing the carton of milk. He loves milk. He was, and I was like, the children. And he was like, no, you're right, you're right. Save it for, he's like, no, no, no. You're, you're right. You're right. But the children love the books. I was like, he's like, no, no, you're right. You're right. But he was eating those donuts and he's like, I'm not impressed. The scenic views, we were literally going through people's backyards. Stop. No, it, there was literally no, like, the best view is from where we start, where we got all from. You were going down the street. Yeah. And then it went, you went down a neighborhood and then he is like, okay, well probably loops around. And I was like, mm-hmm. We went backwards. You went back the way you came Same exact way. No new scenes. I made this man on go on an hour and a half, quote unquote scenic ride. And Santa came on. When Santa hit our train, the kids lost the fucking block, no ice screamed the loudest. And he was like, Colleen, like you literally just screamed the loudest. I was like, I was trying to hype up the kids. So like, I saw him coming because I went to the bathroom, so I knew who was coming. He was on the train. The what are they called? Separate little train. I don't know. It doesn't matter. The one behind behind us, I, I knew he was coming and he was coming in hot. I will say though, that fucking little elf that was running our train, he didn't give us Oh Santa's wishlist. He didn't give us one. Sorry. Does everyone get one? Is that Yes. Everyone's supposed to get one. Oh, the kids got one, but we didn't get. That's rude. And you know what? I have wishes too for Santa. I do World peace. You know what, now we're not gonna get it because Oh yeah, I'm sure that's the top of your fucking list because that fucking elf didn't give me a list. Oh yeah. I'm sure it's not endless. Ozempic and Diet Coke. And that's two and three. What's wrong with that? Absolutely nothing. And then we get off the train, he's like, let get the fuck outta here. And as we're walking, I booked like the cheap one obviously.'cause I knew it wasn't gonna be like anything crazy. I just thought it would be like a fun little way to start the day. Yeah. And as we're walking, we passed like the coach, quote unquote coach. Yeah. Not coach. Yes, coach. Yeah. And there, it's so nice in there. It's all wooden. You can see it. There's bud lights in the window. And he was like, did they have a fucking bar and coach? I was like, maybe. And he was like, how much were the coach tickets? I was like, they were like six each. He's like, we got a squire for the nice seats and the bun. Why? This is like an actual conversation we're having in front of children. There's children everywhere. Well, why didn't you get the nice seats calling? I didn't know that was an option. If I'd seen bar, I would've been all about it. But like, I don't need to. My rump on an nicer seat. I don't care. I'll cheap out my rump, my big fat rump. I was very upset. You've been to Zs, right? The little The little No general store. Okay. No. Well, there's a little, like everyone knows Zs is the place to be. It's full of knick-knacks has multiple floors. Everything you possibly ever need. The line was wrapped around the motherfucking building. Okay. So we didn't go in. Okay. And I was, I I was like full meltdown. And then we went into the restaurant next door and I go in and I've been in there many, many times. I swear to God, Bridget, this is like. I could, I'm getting re hyped up about this and the little host is like this decrepit old lady. And you know, I love a decrepit old lady, so I'm like, love decrepit lady. So I'm like, hi. And I was like, this is a bar upstairs, right? And she just looks at me, waits like two seconds and goes, nah. And I go, oh, oh, okay. I guess I don't know what I'm talking about. Mind you, I looked at my right and my left and there's no bar downstairs, so you know, it's upstairs. It's fucking upstairs. And so she's like, now. And I was like, oh, okay. And then I was like, well how long for like a table of two. They weren't that busy. And she looks at me and I like, sta and I go, how long for? I repeated myself. I was like, how long for? Just like, she straight up to a table of two and she just looked at me and then she goes like 20 minutes. And I was like, oh, okay. She goes, do you wanna wait? I'm like, yes. Like, there's really no other restaurant where we're at right now. And I was like, yeah, if you don't mind. If you don't mind. And so then she gives us the buzzer and she goes, you can go to the stores with the buzzer still in case you want. I was like, oh my God. Perfect. So then we go out, the line is still so long and Zs, and then I looked at Johnny and I was like, why am I sad that that lady was just mean to me? Like, I was like, I don't wanna, I go, I don't wanna give that lady my business. He goes, I'm giving that back. And so he, he goes and brings the buzzer back and I go, I can't look at her. Can you do it? I don't wanna go back in, go leave. No, it was no Bridgette, I'm not giving it justice. It was like actually a humbling experience. And they were like other people watching it too. It was like a legit embarrassing, I just don't understand why like, I was so nice. But also like, why are you inconvenience for me doing the, like I'm here to, yeah. Sit down and eat. Why is that such a. Horrible. I just didn't like it. Request for you. It just like, I didn't like the way she made me feel. It made me really upset. Oh, okay. That's awful. Yeah. I'm really sad that that was your experience. Well, it's okay. I got over it like five minutes later, but I kept being like, fuck that lady. Every time we were walking somewhere, like I wouldn't let it go. Yeah. And so we found our way to the winery, which isn't a real winery. It's literally you walk in and there's a little bar and there's like three dogs and they just give you wine. So I went in and I had a couple glasses of cherry sangria and then I said, okay, I feel better now. And then we went in the little stores, we went into the Jerk Beef Jerky store to Kosten. Sorry. They have kangaroo jerky in there. Turtle Jerky. Oh, it's D Kosten. Okay. And then we went to, oh, may Kelly's is like the Irish pub of all Irish pubs. It's a never ending like maze in there. There's something on every corner of every wall. It's your dream. Okay. Duly noted for future. Yeah. That's really all I did. I, we ate so much. We had a whole taco dip. We ate a whole pizza. We ate everything. We literally ate everything inside chicken nuggets. Oh my God. We had potato cakes at May. Kelly's, sorry. You know how when you order crab cakes, it's like two cakes? Yeah, it was like that. But they were potatoes, mashed potatoes with scallions and bacon and then they were fried and they had a drizzle of sour cream on top. Not to be dramatic, but we didn't speak for like 10 minutes.'cause I was just eating them in silence and I just couldn't, I dissociated completely. And you know else they have, they had what was called a Gaelic pizza. It was a mashed potato pizza. I will. Weep. No, it was seriously, you would've been obsessed with that place. I couldn't stop looking around and smiling. I had a pair of martini. It was so fucking good. What was playing? Actually it was like a mix. They do Sunday fun things on Sundays in there, but it was like a mix of like greatest hits and stuff like that. I'm like the occasional Irish tune. Okay. I, I can, it was, it was for people, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. Making everyone happy. That's really all I did. Wow. Oh, we, we did get a little tips, not tips, but we had some drinks and we went into the Chris, the Christmas loft store, which is like a walkthrough Christmas store. I think Jordan's furniture, but for Christmas. Like in Chan Village? Kind of. Yeah. Got it. We bought six ornaments, like we were like spiral. And he was like so overwhelmed. I go, this is how I feel in every store. I like need you to understand as a man how you feel. Right now, looking at this many ornaments, in this many rooms is how I feel when I walk any, anywhere, at any store. I need everything. And so it was really eyeopening for him. I have one more bone to pick. Okay. I watched the Family Stone. Yes. Horrible. Hated it. Have you never seen it before? Fucking shit. You know, everyone was like, you need to watch it. It's like a classic. You've never seen the family stone? I was so angry. Oh, Diane Kia. Yeah. RPD. Oh yeah. I did. That was upsetting. I hate that. Oh, what was your, who was your least favorite? What's her fucking name? Sarah Jessica Parker. Ugh. In, why were we entertaining this autistic woman? Why was her family even entertaining this bitch? Why, who park? Why does she not have one social cue the table. Yeah. When the dinner table, when she's talking about the gay son, just like, shut up. I, and then she chucks the thing at him and she's like, I love you more than any asshole. Like whatever she says to him, table him. Like, yeah, it's painful to watch. It really is. And then like Claire Danes shows up. Mark, I, Mrs. Steel, your man. No, Bridget, this is like, so niche, not niche, but like such a me thing to say. But I, the minute she walked in, I had no idea what her name was in real life. You don't know. That's Claire Danes. No, but I looked at her and I go, oh my God, you died in little women in the old movie. I go, you died of Scarlet Fever in the old little women movie. Like immediately knew her face and she was like, had brown hair and like, it looked like it was like nine years old in that fucking movie. And I was like, oh my God, you died of Scarlet Fever. Not the Beast in Me. Which you just watched like two weeks ago. No, I didn't watch weeks ago. Oh, I thought you watched it weeks. I, yeah, I have it. Okay. But I just like immediately was like, oh my God. Then I, that makes more sense. Texted you to be like, you would be so, no, it's so on brand. It's so on brand. It's, it makes complete sense. I was like, we rubbed your head in your feet because you're losing heat from Scarlet Fever and little women. Jesus Christ. But yeah, she, I didn't understand the swap. It was weird. Like, why was he right off the bat weird with a sister Hated it. She, I have, I could write, I don't think I have a positive thing to say about any single person. Yeah. It's a, it's a very polarizing movie. People are either obsessed with it. Watch it every year. Love it, love it, love it. Or can't watch it. I have only seen a few times. It is not in my Christmas rotation. No. Love the house. It's too painful. Very Christmas, cozy, obsessed. Oh my God. Rachel McAdams, like signing. I love how they all sign I love a family dynamic. Like that's why you love Cheaper by the Dozen. Yeah. That's why like if you guys ever watched, oh my God, what was that TV show with Dax Shepherd? Parenthood. Oh my God. I loved parenthood so much. Anyway, any anything like that I totally get It was, it's too painful of a watch. It's too awkward. Yeah. There's too much Be Parker just anger. Yeah. Makes me mad that I wasn't, I was like, this is like the dumbest thing I've ever watched. Like why is anyone entertaining this woman? Yeah. Yeah. That's who acts like that in this day and age. Yeah. Why were they, why did you sleep with his brother next and then all of a sudden yell, I slept with your brother in front of his whole family. Well, okay. Well it is a movie. I don't care. It made me very angry. Okay. Fair enough. That's all. And everyone was, was just like, it's such a, it's such a good movie. I'm like, was it loved? Loved the gay deaf man. Are you kidding? Oh my God. The best. We die for him. We die for him. And Susanna. We die for Susanna. Yes. And that's really it. Sweet. Diane Keaton. Yeah. And Diane obviously we love her too. Yes.

He, I don't know. He's, he fucking does it for me. I think I've been ruined by him from the wedding date. Like, I don't care. He could play a serial killer. Yeah. And I'm just like, that's the hustle. See, I see him in Shameless as the crackhead. Yes. Love interest for Fiona. Yes. Fair. I see him in the wedding date. Yeah. It really upset me. And that's all.

Yeah. Is that how you say it? Zaden. Ryerson? Yeah. Okay, cool. That's how I say it in my head. Like, why are we lying? Why did you not tell her that her fucking, you let her weep about her brother all the time? What the fuck's wrong with you? He's straight up alive and well, cruel. Mm-hmm. Cruel. Cruel. Also, fuck your mother. But also like, I get it. Everybody got, everybody got that, you know? Why the fuck is when one of the Paltrow's daughter named Apple? Yeah. No one knows. But she's stunning. She is. She went on a red carpet and she wore one of her mother's old dresses that she wore to, like I saw that the black one, Emma, the black one right. From literally 30 years ago. Stunning. Stunning. That's all I have to say. Okay. Wow. And I would love to hear an update from ya. Yeah. So the sciatica could not keep me down. We did, we did our gentle stretches. My sciatica. My sciatica. Okay. I cannot get over how many people have had sciatica, specifically pregnant if you have been pregnant and had sciatica. Erin said I couldn't even put my phone on the floor. I was in so much pain. No. Literally no. What do you mean? Almost all my friends were like, oh yeah, when I was pregnant. What do you mean it's a no from me? What do you mean? It has gone away. I get like twinges of it. It's definitely lessened. I was not made for chronic pain. I know no one was. You specifically were not built. I was not, and I have a high pain tolerance. I personally think, you're mentally strong. That sounded like not great coming outta my mouth. I was gonna say it sounded, but I meant it with my whole BSY so sarcastic. No, I meant it with no, I, I, no, I know that about myself to be true. That's why I didn't take it personally because I am, I'm very mentally tough and I'm a power thrower and I do it with a positive attitude as much as I can. I was in so much pain and I was just like, I, I love getting older. Like I truly love, I think I get better every year. I feel more confident. I know we've talked about this a lot. I fucking hate aging. If I could stop the aging process and get older, I would be thrilled. Like the other day I saw something that was like, human, the next generation of humans is gonna live till 120. And I was like, what for? Yeah. If you could freeze me, if you could freeze my body at, I dunno, 27, may maybe earlier. Totally fine. Benjamin, but yeah. Benjamin, no.'cause I don't wanna go backwards, but like, if you could freeze health and how your body feels and your bounce back, like all of that, totally fine. I'm 35. I am not that old. Not a fan of aging, but I love getting older. I don't know how else to explain it, but I think the people who get it get it. Yeah. Anyway, but she's, she's good now. I danced the night away, even with the sciatica. I had to take a few, a few quick breaks, but that's okay. That's okay. We, we powered through because that is what she does. All my girlfriends got together and we did a little brunch thing. There were five women. I do not have children. For the record, if this is your first time listening, hi. Hello. In case you're confused. Nine children. Oh God. So nine. They overpower. They're so fucking cute. They're so cute. We throw them in a room together. They run around. I mean like, we're not having deep conversations for the record, but like, just to spend time together and with all the kids around Christmas, a gagg. Dunno what the girl is. It snowed. So they went outside, like a few of them went outside and was like playing in the snow and we were having mimosas and I was like, this is actually the cutest thing on the planet that's wholesome. Like genuinely. It was very wholesome. We had a cousin night. We had a really fun girly cousin night. Yes we did. We went to Sam Walker's. It was decked out for the holidays. We had a grand old time. We did. We recruited the girls. Yep. The girly swirlies. We had a giggle and a taut. Oh my god. So many potatoes. So many potatoes. It was the best love potatoes. It was the best attendees. And an egg roll, those gold fever attendees with some egg rolls. Oh my god. I could drink an Italian egg roll, not just any old egg roll. I could drink their blue cheese. Could drink it. I'm not a blue cheese girl, but I love that journey for you. Thank you. I did watch the Diddy doc and I will not put his name other than that one time into this beautiful Christmas episode we're about to have. Just know I've never loathed someone more in my life. I will not be doing an episode on this person because he is an actual fucking demon and I hate him. Mm. However, 50 cent has taught me that I am not hating enough. I'm not petty enough. You could do an episode on 50 and I'm, I'm simply Curtis, not doing enough hateful things with my free will. I love that. That makes me so happy here. It would. I knew it would. I knew it. Would it? You know what? Bring on the hate, like hate people say like, don't wanna put hate in your heart. It like makes, it's like not good for you. I, I don't agree. I do agree with that. Fucking love hating. I love it. It makes me feel great. Yeah. It does it for me. Yeah. So, so that's why I don't do it. But I, I get it and I do think it fuels more than most things. I will agree with that. I do think we need to let things go.'cause if we carry them, it's like carrying a backpack full of bricks. For me personally, I feel light. I'm a fucking butterfly. Never felt light there. I keep the hate that touches people that I keep in my circle on my back, not my own. Yes. No, that is true. That is true. If someone was mean to me, you would, you would hunt them down. Yes. You would ruin their lives. She's attached to the tip of my nose. She'll never go. Right, right, right, right. Totally. Get that. John, what your man's fixed? My toilet. Oh, that was last week. And my shower, he did within a week. This man, my toilet broke. It just wouldn't flush. Like it just stopped. And it turns out, whatever that mechanism in the actual, the do hickey the the back of the fucking tank or whatever, it just broke and you have to order one and replace it, whatever. Colleen texted him, he came over in 45 minutes. He was like, oh, I have that in my truck, fixed it. And I was like, Hey, so I don't get hot showers anymore. Any chance you could take a look? He started to look at it and he was like, I'm just gonna have to come back on a different day. Like, I don't have the right thing, but I know what's wrong. And I was like, okay, don't worry about it. Two weeks goes by, he comes back with his dad. With his dad. Okay. They're a package deal. Surprised you didn't get the third. His brother's usually with them in the van, they come over. No. DNA test needed. Yeah, they're the same face. Like on two different bodies. They are, in fact. And his dad was like, it's gonna get scorching hot. Like, is there any, are there any children in the house? Because he was basically asking like, yeah, kids can't go in. And I almost said, you, yeah. But I was like, it's her future father-in-law. Like, oh no, don't immediately. No, we fuck around. Brag on her. He always says, he's like, I like that kill to be killed.'cause like, I fuck around with him too. I'm like, is it nice to see? Like, yeah, you just gotta, oh, I wish I said it now. But I was like, no, no. I went, what? No, no, no. Of course not. Of course not. And then so I chatted, I chatted up with his dad and he actually said to me, I forgot to tell you this, I was over there on Sunday for the tree. They were like putting up their tree or whatever. And he was like, what did you say to your cousin? And I was like, what? Oh, he was like, he said, I've heard plenty about you or something. And I was like, doesn't everybody say that to you? Like, come on now. And he was like, that's true. Well, he was like's, hi, I'm, and he said his name and I was like, oh, I know exactly who you are. Yeah. Like, I've heard so much about you. Come on. Yeah. Yeah. We're we're buddies now. Like, come on. Yeah. I straight up was like, don't you get that all the time? That when he was like you're right. You're right. So John, John is getting a Christmas present, whether he likes it or not. I just, and I told you this, I cried when he left and. If you guys have been in the same boat where like, I don't know, maybe you have a dead dad and maybe when something goes wrong, you don't really know who to call to have someone come over and just take care of it, like no questions asked, no strings attached, just like, yep, that's what I do. I'll be there in 15 minutes. I like fixing quick and easy. Fixing that toilet would've cost me, I would've had to work somewhere else. Like I, that would've affected me four days and cost me hundreds and if not over a thousand dollars just to get that fixed. And he did it in 20 minutes. Yeah, I did tell him I just love him so much. I did. I did in fact tell him that you may have shed a tear after he left from the times. And he kinda looked at me and I was like, you don't understand. And then I gave him the lowdown and being like, you don't get it. Like, we don't have like a father figures who just called to come and just fix things. Right. We also don't have. Like, obviously I do have a brother. I, that's not true. But speaking for you, like you don't have like a, like a brother or it's like we don't, there's no one, there's literally no one that you and cousins other are kind of far away. And our uncles, my uncles have like a lot going on in their own person. Yeah. There's nothing outta hand of nce. There's really no one to call. Yeah. There's no hand of convenience like that. Like, and like we don't have that luxury, like a quick and easy fix like that. Like that means much to us. More than you realize. Yes. We also are simple girls. Little things like that mean a lot to us. Yes, a hundred percent. Whether or not we have access to somebody who can do it. Stop doing words of affirmation and just fix my toilet. Yeah. Like I will cry. And he was like, oh, okay. And I was like, so yeah. Oh, he's the best. And then shout out to Leanne. So the other day I was running a bunch of errands doing all my last minute Christmas stuff, you know, like getting the wrapping paper and getting all the things and I had to put air in my tires. And the next day I was driving to my friend's house who lives in New Hampshire. So I was driving a bit of a distance and I go to this gas station I go every year to the same one. And I start to do the air and I'm like, oh, I don't really hear it. So I put it up to my tire and I realize it's going flat. And I had gotten distracted, which is my own fault. And I turn the car on and it is at 14 PSI. And anything under 20 is a flat fucking tire. And I'm try and I'm close enough to home, but I'm like, I could completely fuck up the rim. I could get stuck on the side of the road, like, I have no idea. It's just not safe. So I called my bestie Leanne. And I cried and I was just like, I don't know what to do. And she was like, I will be there in 10 minutes, queen. And she came and she has like a generator in her car and it's a battery, it's a flashlight, it's jumper cables and it's air in your tires. Everyone listening to this podcast, it's like depending on what kind you get, they're like 80 bucks on Amazon. She literally charged it, came over, brought the dog. She was like, just in case you needed some emotional support, everyone needs a Leanne. And filled all of my tires. Went around and did all four. And then I wrote on the sign in eyeliner, do not use, first of all, when the air things at the gas stations are out of order, they take air out. There needs to be a sign on them. That is actually so fucking dangerous. Yeah. Like why are we all out here? So I went to go talk to the attendant. She was like, oh, that's not part of the gas station. Call the number nine digits, not 10, just one whole ass digit missing and not like had worn off, like was printed with nine digits. And I was like, great. So Leanne saved the fucking day. Man's saved the fucking day. So shout out to the people who feel like family who help us because they both just made my entire month like things that could have gotten far worse that weren't because I am around good people, no notes. So, yeah, so shout out to them, Oh, and then that night Leanne and I went to a Christmas party. I go every year. My friend Lara hosted at JJ Foley's with a dj. So much fun. Leanne let me borrow her dress. I didn't updo for the first time my whole life. Love that dress, love that updo. I felt so pretty. I just felt so Christmasy was black, it was velvet. There was a big silver bow on it. Like it just felt so appropriate. Mm-hmm. And the updo like matched. It was giving Kelly Kapowski, not that I look like Kelly Kapowski, let's just be serious. But it was just giving like velvet with the updo. Like it was just all very nineties. Yeah. Yes. And I loved it. Yes, yes. Love. And oh my god. Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Huon are coming back for what? Remember when I was like, for what? The Hunger Games prequel. It's so sad. I I'll never be able to watch that movie. I probably will, but I won't. Oh, they're gonna be in it. They're at the end of the book is an epilogue in, in the epilogue. They're in it for like five seconds and they're coming back for the epilogue. Oh, I didn't know that. So they'll be in this movie for maybe 20 seconds and I will be watching it, even though the book made me sob. And that's how I feel. Would you look at that? And officially, I am going to Barbados. So I leave the day after Christmas, I'm going with my friends, Sadra and Alyssa, who I, if you listen to this podcast, I was in St. Lucia in April. They were both there as well. We booked a honeymoon suite together. It was amazing. Those pictures are Sagera and Alyssa. And so we're going from the 26th to January 4th, so it's like 10 days. And I booked a bunch of stuff for us today because it's Sage's birthday while we're there. And of course New Year's Eve. And so we booked all the restaurants.'cause of course, like everyone going on vacation has, has scooped up a lot of the good stuff. But I just, even if we go to the local beach that's free every fucking day, it's better normally when it's better than this. Yeah. And normally when I go somewhere, you guys know this. I am out. I am out every day. I am exploring this particular time. It's 10 days I want to lay. I don't need to see anything. I don't need to do anything. I booked a catamaran day with some snorkeling. We're gonna walk around and watch the fireworks on New Year's Eve and then like, hang I, I legit, I want to eat good food and lay on a beach. Like I truly want a vacation. I don't wanna travel. Okay.

I sent that I like got an artist to make a t-shirt based off of Dan's dogs. And we were completely unknown of such a thing. And the irony of it is that we were like, what the fuck is this?

I love the bridge, but also get over yourself. Oh, oh my God. I meant to tell you this yesterday, and I knew you'd appreciate this. I was watching, I was finishing Family Stone and in it, Suzanne is watching white Christmas, I think it is. I think it's White Christmas, and Erin wa or Fiona walks in and was like, oh, I love this movie, or something like that. And then walks out and she, I think Erin was like, what movie? And she goes, it's a wonderful life. And so Erin comes in and he is like, oh my God, tell my mom we're watching this. I was like, the family don't. And she goes, no, it's a wonderful life. And I was like, oh. And so then I walked out. I was like, do you know the, like it's a wonderful life. It was like black and white, like, you know, it's a wonderful life. And she's like, oh, I thought that's what you're watching. And I was like, no one, you're wrong. Two, she, Suzanne is watching whatever. And then she's like, what movie am I thinking of? The old one? And I was like, I don't know. And then I said, white Christmas, like, I don't know. Well, she's, I love White Christmas. And she's like, oh, it's the one with the Nazi Germany. And I go, the Sound of Music. And she goes, the Hills are alive. She goes, yeah, that one, not a Christmas movie. And even Erin, a gorgeous movie though, Erin goes, that's literally something I would say that was crazy. I, and I was like, oh my god. Bridget would lose her mind. And she just heard this entire conversation, the sound of music. She goes, what's the one with the Nazi Germany? I go, that's not a music. And she's comparing it to, it's a wonderful life. If anything ever happens to Julie Andrews, I'm gonna take bereavement. That's all I'm gonna say. I would agree. That's fair. That's a fair bereavement. Thank you. People have taken lead for less. It's, it's probably the only famous person I actually care about. That's actually not true, but you know what I mean. Okay. RuPaul, don't you dare but do you know what I mean? Yes. Like there are very few famous people where that will affect you. I would be genuinely hurt and sad. She is one of them. That's fair. I'll give you that one. Okay. Please continue without further ado your Christmas cringle stories. Okay. Okay. I'm ready. I have a story about this lady, Connie. Okay. Connie. She's an 86-year-old, not stop. No, I know she's an 86-year-old Navajo woman living in Phoenix. And the pretense, the back, the backstory on this, this is actually a people article. It's this guy that does like, videos where he approaches people, but he's like, not like an annoying like asshole. The whole premise of his videos is he goes up to people and offer, asks for money and then anybody and sees how they react. Yes. And then goes from there. So he, so this is Connie. I was so sad. She's an 86-year-old Navajo woman and she does not hesitate to pull out some cash from her wallet when she was approached by a man, but she believed couldn't afford his medication. This is the guy, excuse me ma'am. I'm so sorry. I'm in a lot of pain right now. This guy, his name's Jimmy Darts, he says to the unsuspecting woman holding a pain relieving medication in a video. He later uploaded to Instagram. He said, do you have a dollar? Connie immediately opens her purse and hands him a$20 bill. Anyone familiar with dart's social media accounts knows that there wasn't where the video would end Standing in the store's aisle Darts continued to learn Connie's story and that she was struggling to put food on her table and afford her rent and fix her broken car, and had been recently hospitalized for her. Anxiety. Anxiety. Did I just say anxiety? You said, I think I just had a frog. Well, I mean. Sister Freudian slip Yes. Triggered anxiety for her anxiety. She was recently hospitalized for a batty at the culmination of the clip darts in instead gave the, sorry, the cosmos hitting me, gave the box of medication to Connie inside of the box. There was$500 in cash for her to keep no questions asked. I'm so happy you made my day. He tells him her voice breaking. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Thank you. Darts who has combined over 25 million people across Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube has been making videos like he did with Connie for the last five years. He travels the country with his crew in search of those in need of a bit of extra cash, posing first to someone in need of financial assistance. And then after they demonstrate their generosity, he flips the script and gives generous donor money instead. When he posts the clip of Connie, he also shared a link to a GoFundMe page that he made where he asked his followers if they could pitch in for Connie during the holiday season. And the fundraiser quickly amassed thousands of dollars, currently sitting at over$78,000. Oh, someone protect this woman at all costs. Dart says every time, there are just so many amazing and generous people in our country and around the world that watch and donate these videos. And the coolest part about it is that 80,000 different people have donated. So it's not like some rich guy sending money. It's micro donations of people coming together. Yes, which is the difference. The day after he posted the video, he met up with Connie again this time to tell her that people online had raised thousands of dollars to help her afford her rent and fix her broken car. She was absolutely blown away. While Darts has since left the Phoenix area, he has certainly, and he certainly intends to reconnect with Connie if he ever finds himself back. She's really just an awesome lady. He tells People Magazine, she was like, you can call me grandma now. Please do. And I definitely will be doing that. Connie, Connie. Oh my God. Can I show you what Connie looks like? Oh my God. I'm gonna vomit. Yes, please. if you've ever been that person where you go, I can only give$5, I can only give$10, I, I don't feel like that's enough. It genuinely is because there's a hundred people who are doing the same thing You are. And it does. It makes such a huge difference. All of those things add up and it's so, so, so important. And even if it's a buck, it, it doesn't matter. It still goes a long way. This is Connie, when he, when she opens, Shut the fuck up. No, I know. It's so upsetting. She's so, I love her. Oh my God. She is. Oh my goodness. So cute. I love her. This is Sweet Angel. This is the two of them together. Oh, they're so, oh my God, her and her Santa hat. Okay. Also he can get it. No, I would agree. He can get it. You love a kind, man. I'm just, that's a quick side. That's a quick side bite. He'd be given. He'd be, he'd be given it more ways than one. Connie the queen, Connie the queen. She'd get in her car, fixed. She paying her rent. Ugh. Get it, Connie. All right. This lady wrote on a Reddit thread. I made it to my friend Jessie's Christmas party, minutes before midnight, just as everyone was leaving her house. Just my luck, too late. I'd spent my entire night stuck at the hospital where I worked as a nurse. All thanks to that little voice inside me, like kept saying, take k Shift, which I think Candy's definitely a different name. Please don't be named Candy. Like, seriously. Mm. Take Candy Shift. It had said over and over and over again. Candy was a new nurse on staff, a single mom she'd asked me to cover for her on Christmas Eve so she could spend time with her little girl. I felt bad for her. I really did. But every Christmas Eve I went to Jessie's house. Her party was the highlight of my holiday season. There's a gift exchange, Carol Sugar cookies. As far as the eye could see. I told Kandy I couldn't help her out. Afterwards though, that little voice nagged me until I gave in. I figured God had some special reason for me to go to the hospital that evening. As it turned out, he didn't. It was the worst night ever. Oh, no. Two code blues, no free ICU beds and disgruntled patients. The only thing that kept me going was the thought of stopping by Jessie's after my shift. I never stayed at her parties past 10 o'clock, maybe there'd be some sugar cookies and a few carols left to sing by the time I got there. Instead, people were getting back to their cars. Why did I even bother coming this late? Suddenly a person. A scream, pierced the night, help. Please help me. I looked up Jesse's elderly neighbor. Next door was standing on his porch, waving his arms, help, please help my wife's dying and I need a doctor. I rushed to him and said, I'm a nurse. What's going on? He led me inside. His wife was lying, unresponsive on the living room floor, cold and clamming to the touch. I recognized the problem at once. Insulin shock. She has the medicine, he said, but I have no clue how to use it. Oh, no. The man said, holding up the injection. I crouched beside him beside the woman and administered the medicine. Within minutes, her color turned and her skin became warm and dry. The ambulance arrived just after the clock. The clock struck 12 Christmas morning. I made it over to Jessie's and explained, good thing you were here so late. She said, here, you deserve a cookie. Oh, sweet. I love sweet old people. Imagine if she hadn't been there. No, that's the whole point is that she was sorry. I can't, she was that. No, I love this stuff. All right. This woman, Roberta, she wrote, okay. My husband has had dementia for almost a decade. Oh, Jesus Christ calling. He almost has, he almost has no short term memory. He can no longer read. He can't use a phone or use a credit card. Oh, six years ago when the Christmas catalogs came, I saw a tablecloth I wanted, but it was sold out on Christmas morning. There was an unwrapped box under the tree. Somehow my husband had found the right catalog, the right tablecloth called them and convinced them to find a tablecloth to set in time for Christmas. I'll never know how he did it, but it was the best gift ever. I love him so much. That's so nice. And your boyfriend won't do the dishes like, like, can we just say, no, seriously, not you specifically. Colleen. I mean the, you know, the, I'm not even allowed to, to do the dishes because I suck them. Boyfriend. Yeah. No. Yes. In a small town where everyone knew each other's names, an elderly woman named Martha experienced a Christmas she would never forget. Martha had been battling memory loss and her cherished memories fading. I trying to kill me. Do you think? Yes.'cause you're gonna pick it up. Her cherished memories fading like photographs in the sun. However, one Christmas morning, she received an unexpected gift, a beautifully crafted scrapbook. Each page was filled with photos and mementos from her past, lovingly put together by children in her neighborhood. The mysterious gift was more than just a collection of pictures. It was a beacon of love, a reminder of the wonderful life she had lived in, the people who cherished her the most. This simple, yet profound act of kindness from the young hearts in her community helped reignite the flames of her fading memories, filling her holiday with joy and a sense of belonging, the best gift she could have ever received. Isn't that so nice that a neighborhood I mom live in a nice neighborhood. That's so nice. I wanna be in a cul-de-sac. I love a cul-de-sac. Man's with nice people. Man's lived in a cul-de-sac. His parents live in a cul-de-sac still. It's so cute. So nice. Oh my god. You know what have to tell you. Tell me. Immediately had no fucking idea that Nancy Carrigan was from Stone and lives in Linfield. Nancy Kerrigan. Random. Right. So random. I was listening to a podcast today. That's the reason why. So cool though. Love her. I didn't know that. I didn't know that either. Oh. So I texted Mans and said that and he was like, how did you not know that? I literally, she would be at the rink all the time. Obvi, obviously. Colleen, how dare you. She would be, she's a local celebrity. He said Celebr. Wow. She used to be at the rink all the time. I wanna see Nancy Carrigan at the rink. Me too. She lives in, or the bar she lives lives in. She lives in Lynnfield. Imagine buying Nancy Carrigan a drink. I would really like to do that someday. Me too. What do you think She drinks? Probably martinis. Oh, it's probably something so classy. Yeah. She's that bitch. Like, how's that niece scissor? How's that leg doing? Girl. Okay. A woman volunteered at a holiday gift drive and randomly selected a wrapped present to deliver to a stranger. The elderly woman opened it and she became crying. Inside was a scarf in her exact favorite color, a book by her favorite author, and a handwritten, handwritten tag that used the same nickname. Her late husband used a nickname no one else knew. The volunteer swore she hadn't written the tag, and no one ever claimed to have. Is that crazy? That's it. That's all we're given. Yeah, that's it. Maybe he did it before he died. No one ever claimed to have. Wow. Another woman wrote after my grandfather passed, passed away shortly before Christmas, my family debated whether to decorate at all and they didn't. On a Christmas morning, the unplugged Christmas lights in the living room turned on going steadily and then shut off for a few seconds. I mean for a few minutes we called the electricians. They later confirmed the tree was not connected to power. There was no battery pack, there was no wiring fault. And our grandfather always insisted, Christmas still happens whether you're ready or not. Jesus Christ. That's all I got. Oh Colleen. That was so nice. Christmas still happens. Whether you're ready or not. Bridget, I really liked that. and. We're back. Okay. Do you wanna hear my best of 2025 TV in movies? No. And then trends, I guess I know Where're Three Cosmos in, but I need you to lock in for this last part. She just hit my plants. I hit a leaf with her reindeer. I hit one with the leaf. All right, I'm dialed in. Okay. Best tv, rapid Fire Uhhuh, the Pit Traitors RuPaul's Drag Race, slow Horses, white Lotus Severance. The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Task. SNL. The 50th anniversary, adolescence, death by Lightning Running Point. The Perfect Neighbor, the High School Catfish the Beast, and Me the studio. And for the first time ever, I will not be including Love Island really. UK or USA, though hated. Did not enjoy. Did not enjoy the watch it's got. We've gone too far. We've gone too far and I wanna, I wanna see us Loop back next year and I would like a different outcome. Okay. Yeah. I want people that don't know about Love Island. I want people that are there for love and not clout. That's what I want. Yes. Yeah. We need more Amaya Papayas and less of literally everyone else. We need more real baddies. You know? We need some real baddies movies. Shortlist. Oh really? Wow. Wicked. For good. Obviously Sinners. Wake up, dead Man. Weapons, K-Pop, demon hunters. That's it. I think Zootopia two will be on here. I haven't seen it yet, but Zootopia one is one of my all time favorite movies, so I would assume Zootopia two will be on there. Yeah, I heard two was iconic. Aaron said it's better than the first one, which I said, how fucking dear you, I trust Aaron with our lives. Yes. So therefore we trust Okay. Trends of 2025 without being depressing. Okay. Which again, was quite difficult. Okay. Trends like, are we talking like, you know, Western really came back just like things that happened in 2025 that are insane. Okay. We started the year with a TikTok ban. Oh my God. When people were crying over TikTok being like, goodbye. That was last January. That's crazy. Uhhuh. That's crazy. Like, I was definitely like, oh, that kind of sucks. I love doom scrolling. But I was like, not people were No, you were really upset. Was I, you were really upset and you started going on to Instagram reels and you were like, I hate it here. And then when TikTok came back, you were like, I can't get back on it. Oh, right, right, right. And you were also mad about that. Yes, that's true. Because I was mad because it's like, okay, like if I don't have it, it's whatever. We'll go to reels. Like if I have to, it's fine. I, I just need something to doom. Scroll on. Like, that's all, it's Right. It's not like I'm like, I love TikTok gang. It's not like that. It's like I need a doom scroll situation. Yeah. Yeah. We all know and. You know, I was, I was upset about that and then I ended up figuring it out and that was the best day of my life. You figured it out and, and now we're here and we're all still doom scrolling, so don't worry. I'll, I had did get on that iPad and he was texting me immediately after I left him, after I gave it to him. Yeah. And he said, TikTok on, this is crazy. Oh. Zoomed up like that. Mm-hmm. I could never, okay, next up. Beyonce won her first Grammy for Album of the Year. Mm-hmm. And it was a country album, which was a very big deal because the CMT Awards completely snapped her from even a nomination, let alone a win. And it was her first big Grammy album of the air. Very big deal. The Super Bowl halftime show. Oh God. With Kendrick and ssa. I cannot with you. We die for him. We ride a dawn for him. Six, seven. What the fuck is six, seven? I don't know. And can we make it stop? It doesn't mean anything. It's giving like seventh grade like guy little, little boys that's what I get. I did. I was talking to someone who's a high school teacher recently and he was saying, do you want me to ask that GBT? Sure. And he was saying that it's just like the high schoolers are already over it, so it's like middle school and elementary school who make it what it is. It's so annoying. I actually saw a bunch of parents dress up at as as six, seven for Halloween, so their kids would stop doing it. Like, oh, my parents did. Now it's lame. I think it was a basketball player or a music video or something to that effect. I just wrote it. Can you explain the six seven? Trying. It's fucking weird. Oh yes. It is fucking weird and you're not crazy. Here's the breakdown in plain unhinged English. Yes. Let's do this. The six seven trend actually is on TikTok. Mostly straight man discourse. With this space, guys are saying they prefer looks like straight man discourse. Chad gets me guys are saying they prefer women who are six or seven instead of a nine or a 10. Not age, not height. Attractiveness rating already gross, but stay with me. They're logic, delusion, alert. The argument goes. Tens are not much work. Tens have too many options. Six to sevens are more approachable. Six and sevens will appreciate me more. Less ego, less competition, which is just a polite rebrand of I want someone hot enough to boost my ego, but not hot enough to realize she can do better. Ew. That's what that fucking means, apparently. Apparently. So. Ew. Why TikTok is flaming it. Women are responding like cool and enjoy dating imaginary women who don't exist. A man calling me a six is not the flex he thinks it is. I feel like this is not true. I don't think that's accurate. Me either. I don't love that. So yes. Fucking weird. My h misogynistic, deeply embarrassing and already aging. Like milk. We love her. Yeah, we love do. To know her is to love her. I don't think that's accurate, but if it is, that makes you really upset. Anyway, la Boo boos. Oh my fucking God. 14 carrot. I have. There was a child with a fucking LA booboo on the on the train, and Mrs. Claus said, what is this? And she was like, fufu. I was like, no. Off the train. Naughty list. Naughty, naughty. That's all. And there was three of those fuckers. Can you tell we've had so many cosmos. Okay. Woo. Next up I'm standing on business. 10 toes down. Yep. Nothing beats a Jet two holiday. And it's like someone shitting in fucking Bali. Or it's someone on a trip and they open a window and it's just like a window into the bathroom. Like it's just something completely unhinged. Mm-hmm. Having a boyfriend is embarrassing. And let me rephrase this because that there was an article came out and that was the name of the article, and then everyone harped on it. Stop posting your embarrassing B boyfriend on TikTok who's doing something so disgusting and then expect the internet to not respond. Yeah. It's always like, there was this girl, she's a teacher and she was like, oh my God, this is so funny. I asked my boyfriend to pack me a lunch'cause I was so busy and I didn't have a chance to do it, and I was starving. And he gave her dog food, like he gave her the remnants of the cabinets and she thought it was so funny. And then the internet came for him and she was like, wait, you guys like literally stop you. You can't, I'm sorry. A, a woman posted the other day, a video of her fiance stomping around because his laundry was done incorrectly. Literally stomping if you don't want us to come for him, don't post him. I would agree. Don't post him. No. Stop posting your embarrassing boyfriend on the internet. No. So I won't say having a boyfriend is embarrassing. I don't agree with that. I think doing that is embarrassing. Keep it to yourself. Stop posting it on the internet and then making, did you see the woman who was like, I'm gonna propose to my boyfriend of 14 years in a couple days. And everyone was like, sorry, how many years? And he looks like she asked him, do you have diarrhea? When she proposed, because she also posted that you should see his face. It looks exactly the way you would imagine a man who's been dating a woman for 14 years who gets surprised, engaged to by this woman. Understood. You know what I mean? Yeah. No. People should just leave their shit off the internet. Even if you think it's cute, leave it off. Leave it off. Sydnee Sweeney gave everyone the ick. She's still icking me the jeans Stop. Stop. She uploaded a, a photo in her photo dump the other day of her whatever, like gala fucking, who knows what it was, that she was going to an opening night of something and it was in the mix of the 10 photos was a getting ready photo and she shirtless holding her boobs. Why? Yeah. The Marilyn Monroe dress recently. Did you say that? It was before that, but yes I did. Like please be so fucking for real. Be humble. Like I made a sifri. Please. Yeah, she's tough. Don't like a friendship. I like Amanda that now I don't. Really? Yeah. Now I don't like guilty by association. Yeah, she's done. Wow. Oh my god. Mama Mia. I mean, I'm still, you know, mama Mia's? Mama Mia? Yeah. It depends on the spirit. Well, that's Sophie. That's not, that's not Amanda. Oh, I see, I see, I see. Disassociation, gaga, headlined. Coachella didn't even know that. So great. So Cardi B was on trial. Cardi B was on trial, had no idea what that were. A woman. Oh my. Have you not seen the memes from Cardi B on trial? No, I, I don't know what Card B's saying half the time Do I? How do we live on the same planet? Mm-hmm. A woman basically faked this entire scenario where she beat her up, like hit her Oh. And took Cardi B to trial and she got on the witness stand and she basically was like, it's not about the money, because of course this woman was suing her for like bajillions of dollars. She's like, it's actually not about the money, it's about the principal. Like you, there were eye witnesses who did not see me touch you, like I didn't touch you. You're not gonna bring me to court'cause I'm famous. Mm-hmm. And her testimony is fucking hilarious. Highly recommend you taking, you, taking a gander. I could see her eating and leaving. No rums for that. Yes. A hundred percent was so chaotic on the stand. In the best way. No, no lawyer necessary. Imagine a jury watching Cardi B. Explain that ass coming in. I'd be like, miss Girl, The Jennifer Hudson Spirit Tunnel. Huh? Jennifer Hudson has a talk show mm-hmm. In her guests have to go through a tunnel. Oh, yes, I do remember, I know that. Yes, I do. Saying customized. Alex Girl was just on it and they go through the tunnel and it has stressed people out. Really. They're like, how do, how do I dance through it? Because it goes on TikTok and you don't know the beat either. Right. The song changes per person. How do you, how do you dance to such a thing? SNL made fun of it with Nikki Glaser. It was actually Wick and Funny, and it was just like, how does one experience the spare tunnel without wanting to end, end their life, you know? But it's great. A hundred Men versus the Gorilla Convo. How, again, how do we live on the same planet? I don't know. It's a very good question. Okay, great. Moving on. Life of a Showgirl. Mm-hmm. The, the album.

Side note, have we talked about yet on this pod, how she paid for that person's wedding? No. So I saw this too. I don't know if that's accurate. Is that accurate? Do you know? Yeah, I've heard like multiple people be like, I know somebody who knows somebody who knows her. Okay. She's a Boston mate to the crew. Where I think it's the Ocean House. I forget the exact location in which Taylor, Rhode Island, June? Yeah. In Rhode Island. The wedding venue that she is of chosen, I don't know what the date is, but also like the, it's like June 13th. It's like the wedding date, the time of year at the place Prime. Do you know what I mean? It's not like off season, it's not second. It's giving June at the Plaza Hotel, correct? Correct, yes. And whatever bride had this chosen date, Taylor somehow acquired her name, her information, and she has paid her to switch her wedding date. And by doing that, she has paid for her wedding, her honeymoon, all of the things like she offered to pay for quite literally everything. And just in exchange for a change of date, I would change my name for that money. Yeah. A hundred percent. Like, okay, Ms. Taylor pay everything. Yeah. Just so she could have Taylor Swift wanted my wedding date. Sis have her for free. Honestly. Have, I'll take your last name if you want. Taylor. Yeah. I don't give of a fuck. Do I get an invite to the wedding? That's what I would ask for. Mm. That would be my gosh. So a girl, I don't know if you saw this, Cindy Arrivo on the Wicked Press tour a year ago. Put a hat down somewhere and a caught lost. Okay. And a fan found it and kept it for a year. And she was, Cynthia Riva was walking out of something, some event, some wicked event. And a girl was like, Cynthia, I have your hat. And Cynthia's like, are you fucking kidding me? Can I have it back? Like, I love that hat. It's like this designer hat. And she's like, can I get tickets to the Wicked Premiere? And got them. I mean, and Cynthia got her hat back and she was like, no, I totally, Cynthia Riva was like, I totally get it. I respect it. Yeah. Respect the fuck. If I had Cynthia Rivas hat, you can bet your ass. I'm gonna talk to her and I'm gonna get tickets to that premiere. Yeah. 100%. I feel like words wouldn't come on. I feel like you would just cry. No, I, okay. Well I feel attacked and I feel like that's honest and truthful. Like you would need to have a, you would need to have a companion because you wouldn't, I would need a ventilator. No, you need a human to actually like you. This woman would be like, what the fuck? No, I think I would have to dissociate, like, I think I would have to go like, I'm actually not talking to this person. This person isn't real in front of me. I think I'm like in a dream to say what I need to say and then as she turned away from me, I think I would lose my God mind. Got it. I got it. Because is so sweet and kind. But they don't like that, like celebrities don't like when you fawn all over them, it makes them very uncomfy. So I'd, I'd have to play. Cool. I get it. And I just, I don't. I am all the Shalon.

Mancha. I love that song, by the way. So those are my biggest, outside of the sad stuff, those are my biggest 20, 25 things that have happened. Mm. I'm losing her gang. No, you're not. I'm I'm losing her. So slow. So sipp. No, I was sipping. I was sipping. I was sipping because it's sipping with the Shannons. Oh, you sipping with the Shannons? I'm sipping with the Shannon. The Shannon. In this moment. I was,'cause I was the only one sipping. Okay. Ready? Both go. Ready? 1, 2, 3. Good. Good soup. This is my favorite soup. This is soup season. It's not my favorite soup. Oh my God. Tell me what your favorite soup is. I mean, it's, I hate soup. It's obviously auntie's baked potato. It, nothing even compares. I like a good lasagna soup. Okay. You would like lasagna soup? I think I would too, but like whatever. On a rainy Sunday you would like lasagna soup. Okay. I do love a, a classic chicken noodle with egg noodles. Those are the best kinds. Okay. Can't go wrong. Yep. I also do love tomato basil, however, there needs to be some sort of crunch. Like I need a set, but also I need a whole Yeah, because you are using the soup as a vessel to eat garlic bread. But the soup is fire. The soup is great. Okay. Soup is so good. Anything with a noodle in it? I like, I like two. I like aunties, pe, potato and I like french onion. And that's it. Now we could get into this world. Where like, is beef stew a soup? No.'cause I love beef stew. No, it's a stew Is fa or ramen. So like, is that considered like, I like broth with other things, but soup alone? No, I'm good. I think you would like my soup. I don't agree. Okay. I I,'cause I need something to go with it. Just, you like ramen? I love ramen. So yeah. You would like my soup. Does it have ramen in it? It has noodles in it. It's the same fucking thing. Okay. What's in your, like what kind of soup would you make? Like if I was to make like an actual healthy soup that like tastes good and also like is good for you, not that that matters to you, but like, does taste good? It's chicken broth and like maybe some bone broth. A whole, A whole rotisserie chick. You do know I love a, my weakness is rotis chick a a lot of garlic, okay. Noodles. Okay. It sounds gross. Celery and carrots and onions. None of that sounds gross to me. Okay. But in a blend and softened, it's so good with broth and just spices and cheese like so good. So good. I don't hate that. I, my point about soup, it's also is that I'm not eating it for the broth. I'm eating it for the meat inside. Like I would be looking for the noodles in the meat and the veggies. Yeah. I also, not that you care or ask, but I use protein pasta instead, which it tastes the same with regular pasta, like a regular pasta noodle and it's protein. She as how she as well now. Oh please. I'm literally like, I pay for ozempic and I'm still gaining weight, so please don't even, no. You've been Pilates in your Pilate thing. No. Someone told me that you gained weight when you start dating somebody. And lemme tell you, I think I've gained like 10 pounds in a year. Can you? No, it's fine. Please shut the fuck up. No, I'm just saying you've lost. 60. No, I know. Could you do me a quick favor and I'll like, I'm literally get it pounds. No, hear me out though. I'm not, this is not a complaint. I'm happy where I'm at. I'm happy in life. I'm fine. No, I get what you mean. What you mean? I'm saying I pay monthly for a service. Yes. An injection. And that is supposed to keep me, no food, noise, nothing. And it's like, I'm not saying it's not working. I'm just saying I am out. I'm beating ozempic. I am. How does one gain weight? Not that I'm like gaining 10 pounds, like I'm saying, I've gained 10 pounds probably like it fluctuated. Like one month I'll be like two down and then all of a sudden I'll gain three. Like, it just depends, but like it's not, the math ain't math and Okay. And that's my story. That's what I have to share. And I'm sticking to it. You know what? I have to tell you that I don't remember if I've sat in the pod or not. So just be like, Colleen, you're fucking stupid. I would literally never say those words. Please continue. You'd probably look at this. That's what you do. What do I do? I gasp and then look down. You're like, like I, I'm like gaining my complete, you don't look down, you kinda just look at me and you're just like, call it. Yeah. Or you go like this. I say your name a lot. You like this? Can you explain to the people who aren't seeing your faces? I look like. Flounder from you. Like Cru, I scrunch my mouth. Yeah. And you like put air in your mouth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like you're over it. It's just giving like I'm over it. Kind of, kind of face. But that's not what you mean. You're just kind of like, Colleen moment a piece. Let us assess. Um, I am in my baked potato era from Wendy's. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. As if, as if hear me out. She went away as if that ever came. Went from, we never saw her again from Wendy's. Bridget, do you know since I've discovered I can DoorDash a cooked baked potato to my doorstep. Do you understand what that's doing to me? Colleen, Bridget. You could make those so easily at your house. That's correct. I know, but it was Sunday and then Fiona was like, I'm ordering Wendy's. And I was like, throw in a baked potato for your girl. What's in this baked potato that sends you chives? Butter sauce and sour cream. Okay. No bacon. But you can also get it, you can get it with bacon and scallions and shit. And you can also get it with chili. You can get it with, you can get it with so much shit. I just like the plain. You like a plain good old? Yeah. You can get it with cheese. You can get it with anything you want. Anything you want, anything. You want a loaded jacket? Tie it off A bp Yeah. From Wendy's. Mm-hmm. Is really hitting the spot for you now that's your new hyper fixation? Mm-hmm. Okay. Well what do you want for 2026? What are you looking forward to? Uh, to be skinnier and. Colleen, can you not? Sorry. You can cut it out if you want. I won't cut it out. You meant it and it's real and it's honest to work on myself. How about that? Is that better to work on my physical health? No, don't. You don't have to lie either, but sorry, liar, ity to not be so fucking poor. How about that? Okay. Not be so fucking poor to work on ourselves to do some cool shit. What does that mean? Go to some cool places. I wanna see the sun soon. Oh okay. That's fair. You wanna go? You gonna Paris in February? I dunno if I told you that you didn't. I am going. You're going back. Yes I am with Fiona and Erin this time. Oh, for how long? So Erin's going for work and it also ha the week she's going for work is also her birthday. So we're all gonna go, oh my, the three of us. God, how many? How many days? I honestly, I respect, they're probably not gonna listen to this anyways. I wouldn't have gone back if Fiona was like, oh my God, I missed my chance last time. I wanna go this time. Oh, I'll fucking go. You have to go back, say last, I'll fucking book a flight. You, you got a dabble. But now you get to go back and either redo things you like or try things that you haven't done yet. And not be by myself. And not be by yourself and not do the crypt by yourself, even though I know you liked that. Yeah, I don't think they would do that again. But that boat night that you booked, you just have to remember they do days, then months. I know Aaron wants to do dinner in the Eiffel. Yeah, of course. I'm very excited for you. That's super fun. Yeah. And to do it with your girlies. I also just have the best trips with them. We're just all, we understand each other. We're easy going. You're on the same page. Yeah. Which helps a lot. And okay. What el what other places do you want see in 2026? I know, man, just got a, he's so cute. I can't, he told me he ordered like a new credit card. He has like a specific to travel because he is like not a traveler. Really? Yeah. But I was like, why? Because he like doesn't have that. And he was like, well, I was like 70,000 extra points. Have I ordered it? And he's like, really like to go places, Colleen. I'll kill my, if you do not marry this man. No, I will. I would marry him tomorrow. Oh no. I know. And that's, that's just the cosmos talking. But like, also I say that to his face, so it's fine. But also if I said that to you last Christmas, you would've laughed in my fucking face and look at you now. No, I know. No, I know. Life comes at you fast. Life comes at you fast. I'm so happy for you, Carl. I really am. He's the best. Hey, thanks. I'm really glad everybody loves him as much as I do. Yeah. It, I mean, it's just, it's hard not to. He's so easy. He's so fun. He's so kind. He adores you. He's funny. He's like easy to yap with. He's like, can hang with the girls, but is such a, a guy. I mean, he's just the best of all the worlds he is. I wanna punch him. Colleen. He actually just texted me. I need to read it to tell you what he just texted me. I'm so antsy. House is cleaned, presents are wrapped. Beer is poured. Just waiting for the Bruins game to start. And then the football and then chicken cont tenderers. And then you like, I'll kill myself. My dream night. Yeah. My dream babe. No, I'm just kidding. Cute. Okay. Oh, also, wait, I wanna know what you're excited for. Oh, in 2026? Yeah. I am excited to cross more places off my bucket list. Would love to go to Asia. I've never been. That has been, you've been saying there for years. Yeah. Asia and Antarctica are the only two continents I've never been to. I would love to do like a Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand situation. Can I go to Antarctica with you? You wanna go to Antarctica with me? I'm gonna go to Antarctica. So bad. Well, I remember it was a hyper fixation like two years ago, but I don't, I didn't realize it like carried through, which makes me really, I wanna jump in the water. Yeah, I mean, o obviously, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off obviously. No, no, no, no. That's a, that's a valid one. And I just, here's my thing. I, I think for a really long time I was trying to cross off so many new places that I was like obsessed with. Trying new things, which I still want to do, but I also love going back to places where I know exactly what's going on. So like, if I do a trip to Ireland, I would be thrilled, even though I've been there a couple times, like, I would love to do a month in Ireland over the summer. You know what I mean? Yeah. And just do like the month of August fucking everything and rent a car and just drive around and, and live there in the way that I have in other places. Like, I just would really, really love to do that. I would like to date one really nice man, not the man of my dreams. Not like end all, be all just like a nice man that I have fun with. Yeah. Who reminds me that people are good and kind and cool. You know what I mean? Yeah. Out of the rut. I would like to be healthy and strong. I think the sciatica got got, got you. Bitch down. We're gonna get her back up. But she's on the up and up and I would like to not lose weight, but just feel really strong and healthy. And I just, I love experiences. You know this about me. Like, I wanna try new restaurants, I wanna go to new places. I wanna have a new friend that I didn't know by the end of the year. I wanna learn something new. Like I'm learning chess right now. I'd like to learn something else. I, I just constantly wanna keep learning and growing and getting better. Is that so lame? No. And I want a new show that I obsess over. I feel like That's fair. I would like to find some more peace. There's always peace to be found, Bridget. There's always peace to be found and I wanna be a millionaire minimum by the, by the end of next year. Okay. So no pressure to anyone. I might, I might do a scratch ticket it like your mom did last year. Yeah. That might work out for you. We'll see what happens. But that's what I'm looking forward to. So to end the episode, what I asked Colleen to do was ask Chad GPT what are the most unhinged things I've asked last year? Would you like me to go first? Because mine are, yeah. So lame. Yes. I would like to go first. Like, you're actually gonna be so embarrassed because mine are so dumb. Okay. I'm here for it. I don't believe you'cause, okay. Are you ready? Mm-hmm. My uncle has dementia. How do I sign him up for disability? First one? Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. I'm making a children's book about dinosaurs. Can you help me? Okay. How do I explain the Kendrick versus Drake beef? I lost a hundred pounds in two months. Is that bad? Because that was your biggest loser. Biggest loser episode. Okay. What hair rollers can I use that won't rip my hair out and ruin the curl? None. those are it. I mean, no, I meant like all of none of them do that. So they just can't be Velcro. The Velcro is oh part. Oh, I love my Velcro ones. I do too. But they rip, like taking them out hurts. Now. I don't know if I've just like worn them so much. Do you twist them when you take them out? Do I twist them? Yeah. Weird. That is weird. Yeah, they hurt. So interesting. Those are mine again, I'm not kidding you. I can show you my screen right now. No, I believe you. That is my best friend. You're not a liar. I'm a liar. But you're not a liar. I'm not a liar. And I would tell you guys, like I would tell you, Hey, what's that weird thing I, I got nothing. Well, on the contraire. So col you. I said, Hey girl. What's the most unhinged thing I've asked you this year? Colleen? Do, do. I've reviewed the archives and I regret to inform you that this was a stacked year. But one request stands alone in cheer feral confidence. The most unhinged thing you've asked this year when you proudly declared yourself a Helen Keller Denni and asked me to help you win an argument about it. Not are there conspiracy theories not, can you explain why people think this? But I am a Helen Keller Deni and I'm trying to win an argument and give me the points. You then asked me to check Reddit conspiracies and requested specific examples explicitly said you did not want to claim the shutdown and doubled down when the confidence of someone you already had a PowerPoint half built. This wasn't curiosity, this was method acting. Method acting. Oh, the X-rated chaos gremlin retelling of the first Thanksgiving. You wanted absurd, sassy, raunchy, and more chaotic. At no point did you ask to stop or for the truth. Okay. I did this thing on that the TikTok friend where you take a photo of something and then you like ask AI to like change it and you send it to somebody as a prank. Yeah. So I took a picture of my kitchen and asked him to put a plumber in it, and for me to send it to Johnny and be like, I just came home and Aaron left the fucking, oh yeah. He's like shirtless or whatever. Yeah. So it's number three was the serial photo edit of the blue collar plumber. Man, you had me at a man, fix his eye, adjust his knee, turn his head, face him away, all because his face was quote unquote kind of freaking me out. This was a psychological thriller in real time. Colleen, tell me everything about Bob Harper escalating into reality tv. Warm CR war crimes. You wanted tea receipts and emotional damage. Oh, number five, God asking if chicken thighs make you gassier. What? You asked this immediately after A dis personality breakdown, not a disc personality breakdown. Why would you ask that? No transition. Just vibes and flatulence. No transitions, just number six vibes in flat shows, asking for a sassy explanation of the biggest loser. Then saying, I wanted Snarkier. You weren't satisfied until it felt like a podcast rant hosted by someone who hates the show. And capitalism. Okay, like actually real though. That's accurate as fuck. Chat girl. Number seven. Is there actual real footage of Steve Irwin's death straight to jail? No follow off. Follow up. Just emotional whiplash for everyone involved. Colleen, and I wanted to know you are sicko number eight repeatedly asking if random things happening were for something specific, meaning examples include what was going on at Gillette today. Is there anything specific happening today? What happened at Brown University? This is main character energy mixed with mild paranoia inaccuracy. Unfortunately, no, I know. Okay. This one was because I had all these random thoughts about, I was writing Johnny's birthday card and I had so many random thoughts that I just needed to chat GBT to organize them in a quick witted statement. Totally. So I was putting in all the things that like I was trying to say in one sentence. So number nine is asking me to write a sweet birthday note while calling your boyfriend an ogre who rips ass. You demanded romance roasting. Pink Pony Club references a sweet inning. Honestly unhinged, but elite unhinged. But elite is going on your fucking tombstone. Yep. Yep. Number 10. Can you explain Extreme Makeover, home edition and the scandals? You did not want inspiration, you wanted debt, trauma, exploitation, and the emotional fallout of surprise. Drywall, Final analysis. You don't ask questions like a normal person. You ask like someone who commits fully pushes the bit and says, yes, please. When things get worse, respectfully never change. That is the funniest recap and it's so accurate. Like, you don't go on there asking like, can you debate that? You're like, I already have my answer and I need you to back it up. Mm-hmm. I asked, back it up or die. But yeah, that's my synopsis for the year. Oh my God, Colleen. That is so funny. No one is surprised. We are all thrilled. Thank you for sharing. What a delight. What a god delight Chad does me so good. She really gets me. Well, I really hope that these holidays and this year of 2026 for all of us is amazing. Healthy. It's gonna be our year and happy. It's the year of the zippers. 2026 is the year of the zippers. I think we said that about 2025. We, that's none of our business. Okay. Right, right. And it's behind us. I said, huh? I can't see it anymore in 2025. Huh? It's like driving with a house on fire behind you. Mm-hmm. But everything is clear in front of you. I hope everyone's holiday is really great. Whatever that means for you. You a cup runneth over all of the things. You're able to find your own peace, whether it be with your family or your chosen family, or your besties or your significant other, or honestly buy your motherfucking self and you order a bunch of food and you watch your favorite movies Chinese and you get cozy. Get some motherfucking Chinese food. It's my favorite thing to do. They're so, it's the best. They're always open. They're always open and they're so lovely and you tip them extra. So have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year. We're gonna take a couple weeks off. But we will be back. And thank you for another wonderful year of listening to us. Like I just can't believe that this amount of people wants to listen to us and still continues to listen to us. I know I say it all the time, but it's just crazy. I can't believe that. You wanna listen to our voices all the time. Once a, I almost said once a week. Everybody biweekly. The cosmos are hitting. We must go, but can we just say, love you mean it. Love you mean it. Goodbye. Goodbye.
