Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI A six forty.
Speaker 2: We're joining a moment by Tiffany Hobbs. How you know
Speaker 2: from the viral load. Yes, and I talk about how
Speaker 2: you were.
Speaker 3: Let me back up.
Speaker 2: You came in, you said happy birthday to me, and
Speaker 2: you said I was slammed, and I was trying to
Speaker 2: deflect from the fact that I was been trying to
Speaker 2: lose weight, eat better because as I get closer to
Speaker 2: my birthday today being it, I'm always reassessing myself and
Speaker 2: I think, now I'm at a point where I have
Speaker 2: to do much better. Well, I've been doing much better,
Speaker 2: but I have to do much better. And then you
Speaker 2: have these holidays like Thanksgiving where all that just goes
Speaker 2: to pot because you're eating ostensibly everything that you've committed
Speaker 2: yourself not to do, or at least not as frequently.
Speaker 2: I don't know how you do it, but for me,
Speaker 2: it's like, it's hard to say no to to macaroni
Speaker 2: and cheese. It's hard to say no to sweet potatoes
Speaker 2: without mashed potato, without marshmallows on top of the.
Speaker 4: Oh god, that's the only way you should have them.
Speaker 3: You say, with Marshmallos.
Speaker 5: Absolutely, I mean it sweetens it, it just it just
Speaker 5: makes it even more candy.
Speaker 4: But we'll get to that.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, we need to get some things straight before
Speaker 2: we go any further.
Speaker 3: Macaroni and cheese with or without bread.
Speaker 2: Crumbs on top, preferably, No, no, no, there's only one answer,
Speaker 2: and you need to get it right or we're gonna
Speaker 2: go to commercial and we're gonna put you out of
Speaker 2: the studio.
Speaker 4: With if not baked.
Speaker 5: If baked, No, you do not need bread crumbs on
Speaker 5: top because there's already a bit of a crisp on top,
Speaker 5: so you don't need a crisp plus baked in bread crumbs.
Speaker 2: Okay, stop trying to to dither here and then head
Speaker 2: your your back.
Speaker 3: When you're cooking mac and cheese, and I know you cook,
Speaker 3: know how to cook? I do?
Speaker 2: Okay, how do you cook your macaroni cheese? What is
Speaker 2: your process?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 4: God? So you definitely bake it. You do not use Kraft.
Speaker 5: You get your noodles, you get your elbow noodles, and
Speaker 5: you put those all in and you layer it with
Speaker 5: some real cheese. Velveta does work if you're in a
Speaker 5: pinch that's fine.
Speaker 4: You put your pet milk in there, and then you.
Speaker 3: Did you say pet milk.
Speaker 4: Well, canned milk, your canned your condensed milk.
Speaker 3: Really you use condensed milk.
Speaker 5: You can if you're wanting, hopefully you have more than
Speaker 5: one bathroom with this recipe, because it is a very
Speaker 5: get you, it is very lactose rich. But you throw
Speaker 5: all that in there, you throw the cheese on top,
Speaker 5: and you just keep kind of layering to make a
Speaker 5: pasta type lasagna, if you will, And then you put
Speaker 5: it in the oven and you bake it for about
Speaker 5: forty five fifty minutes or so, and it comes out
Speaker 5: golden brown and gooey, and it's it's it's wonderful.
Speaker 3: You still need some bread crumbs on top.
Speaker 5: I you know, I think you can add that mold.
Speaker 5: And if you want to do that, that's fine. That's
Speaker 5: your choice. I will not judge you for it, as
Speaker 5: long as you have macaroni and cheese.
Speaker 3: Judged.
Speaker 5: There are households that do not have macaroni and cheese
Speaker 5: on their table.
Speaker 4: I can't. I've come to find that out.
Speaker 3: Well, but you know, in black households, we always do.
Speaker 4: It's if you don't you're thrown out.
Speaker 3: People think I'm playing.
Speaker 2: And I was joshing with Mark Ronner about this, but
Speaker 2: it's a real thing. If you serve macaroni and cheese
Speaker 2: or sweet potatoes the.
Speaker 3: Wrong way, you will get cussed out.
Speaker 5: Can you imagine the actual canned yams coming out and
Speaker 5: being put on a plate for you?
Speaker 4: Mo, No, you know people do that.
Speaker 2: But people will accept the canned cranberry stuff like it's
Speaker 2: no big deal.
Speaker 5: I think you can make an exception for that, but
Speaker 5: you do not, under any circumstance, make an exception for
Speaker 5: lackluster macaroni and cheese or yams.
Speaker 2: Okay, yams and sweet potatoes are not the same thing,
Speaker 2: but I'm not going to get into the subtle details.
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this.
Speaker 5: Do you know how many calories the average Thanksgiving dinner
Speaker 5: is per person?
Speaker 3: Per person always at least twenty five hundred.
Speaker 5: Forty five hundred calories? There we go, Yeah, per person,
Speaker 5: that's one meal. That's one meal, and that's not one seconds.
Speaker 5: That's not my session.
Speaker 3: One we do.
Speaker 2: You've destroyed not only your calorie intake for the day,
Speaker 2: your cholesterol, your sodium. Going back to what I was saying,
Speaker 2: it's holidays like these which make it real difficult for
Speaker 2: me to maintain some semblance of my diet.
Speaker 6: Well, blame it on the holiday. Blame it on the holiday.
Speaker 6: Just eat it on the treadmill for God's sake.
Speaker 3: People. Look, I look.
Speaker 2: There are days where I will, for example, most Thanksgiving,
Speaker 2: I will not eat at all that day and my
Speaker 2: only meal will be Thanksgiving to balance it out.
Speaker 4: Fast before, absolutely fast before the feast.
Speaker 2: And Stephan, you were getting ready to say something. I
Speaker 2: thought it looked like yeah, because I was. I was
Speaker 2: just curious when you said pet milk, pet milk. I
Speaker 2: thought that was like another way to say it. But
Speaker 2: it's it's actually a brand of evaporated milk. There you go,
Speaker 2: thank you, Steph. Evaporated. I just learned that that's cool. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I didn't know that people would use it in that way.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
Speaker 5: It makes it creamier, gives it that consistency, and it
Speaker 5: bakes better.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought that cheese made it creamier. Yeah.
Speaker 6: Also, if you try to milk your pet, that's going
Speaker 6: to get awkward. Come on, fush, Oh no, don't you dare.
Speaker 6: It's my birthday. It's my birthday, Okay, do not hand
Speaker 6: out some weak you know, points for that. I don't
Speaker 6: know if you've been noticing, but Mo tonight's been acting
Speaker 6: like that kid from the Twilight Zone episode where he
Speaker 6: sends people to the corner.
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, just by thinking it.
Speaker 4: Timmy, I think was his name, Billy, Billy Timmy one
Speaker 4: of the two.
Speaker 3: Well, Bill Muomey was the actor. I don't remember.
Speaker 2: We covered Billy last night. I don't know if you
Speaker 2: heard that. I heard a little bit. Okay, yeah, anyhow,
Speaker 2: Forty five hundred calories for one meal. How I don't
Speaker 2: know how people do that and then not just destroy
Speaker 2: everything they're trying to do with with dietary goals, their
Speaker 2: health or exercise goals, because you can kill it in
Speaker 2: one weekend.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: And the thing about it is, the average, according to
Speaker 5: different health experts, amount of weight that each person puts
Speaker 5: on after Thanksgiving hovers somewhere between two to four pounds.
Speaker 5: So you're carrying two to four pounds extra after your
Speaker 5: Thanksgiving meal during that next six weeks before January first,
Speaker 5: just because of being home, being sedentary, eating more colder temperatures,
Speaker 5: whatever the case. All those things combined do, in fact
Speaker 5: add to a wider waistline more numbers on the scale
Speaker 5: and January first, everyone has that big epiphany.
Speaker 4: Got to get them off.
Speaker 3: You're trying to ruin everybody's holiday.
Speaker 2: For I'm just guilty thinking about what I would like
Speaker 2: to eat, and you're telling me it's a lot worse
Speaker 2: than what I.
Speaker 3: Was thinking it is.
Speaker 5: But if you do it with the knowledge that you're doing,
Speaker 5: you won't be so shocked when it actually happens.
Speaker 4: You can enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm not shocked. I refer us to get on
Speaker 2: a scale. I refuse to look in the mirror. I
Speaker 2: refuse to do anything to undo the joy of the meal.
Speaker 3: Well, I'm going to enjoy it.
Speaker 5: The thing about you, mo is that you've already made
Speaker 5: room with however much weight you've lost. I've not seen
Speaker 5: you in about a week, and you're slimmer than the
Speaker 5: last time I saw you, So you have some extra
Speaker 5: space there to add to Well.
Speaker 2: You know, I had this phone call with Lizzo and
Speaker 2: she said, you need to try some Mozific.
Speaker 3: Have you seen little She's lost like one hundred pounds
Speaker 3: or something.
Speaker 5: Rigics She does look she looks good. She looks good
Speaker 5: as long as she's happy. You know, she was beautiful before.
Speaker 5: But you know, health is.
Speaker 2: Wealth is as long as she can maintain it, because
Speaker 2: I don't want her to do the whole Luther Vandros
Speaker 2: up down, updown thing.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 4: You know, he arguably sang better when he was heavier.
Speaker 3: There's signs behind that.
Speaker 2: Before we go to break Luther Vandross, a late R
Speaker 2: and B singer, his weight would fluctuate one hundred and
Speaker 2: fifty pounds easily, and he would sound markedly different depending
Speaker 2: on his size. Now, when you are fuller, your vocal
Speaker 2: chords are also fuller, so there's a richness in your voice.
Speaker 2: There's a fullness in your voice which is found like
Speaker 2: for example, like Luciano Pavarati, he was not skinny by
Speaker 2: any measure, and that also aided in the fullness of
Speaker 2: his voice.
Speaker 5: So you're saying, we'll have quite a few really good
Speaker 5: singers come Saturday, Sunday, Monday.
Speaker 2: I don't know about all that, because you know, also,
Speaker 2: if you're eating a lot of dairy products, it coats
Speaker 2: the throat, so your voice doesn't sound as good.
Speaker 4: Avoid the mac and cheese.
Speaker 3: There you go. It's later with Mo Kelly.
Speaker 2: We're talking about all things Thanksgiving, exercise, holidays, with Tiffany

Speaker 2: sitting in for Claudine Cooper as we talk about all
Speaker 2: things health and wellness on a Tuesday for this Thanksgiving week.
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving weekend is the Viral Load hostess herself, Tiffany Hobbs. Tiffany,
Speaker 2: last segment, you destroyed any chance of me enjoying my Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4: Meal, I have more okay, ed, Well, well, let's review.
Speaker 2: You said average Thanksgiving meal forty five hundred calories one
Speaker 2: person one serving.
Speaker 5: That's not back for seconds easily, easily, and that's not
Speaker 5: counting any sort of alcoholic beverage or anything that you
Speaker 5: might have. That's an addendum to that very traditional meal
Speaker 5: of your meats and your veggies and your stuffing and
Speaker 5: your mac and cheese, things like that. So your bread,
Speaker 5: different carbs, forty five hundred calories per person on average.
Speaker 3: Wow, I'm not hungry anymore.
Speaker 5: There are some tips, mow, and medical experts agree, and
Speaker 5: I hope I'm doing justice here to share tips for
Speaker 5: a healthier Thanksgiving again that medical experts actually agree on.
Speaker 5: First tip being eat before the party starts. Thanksgiving might
Speaker 5: start mid afternoon, two three.
Speaker 3: Four, maybe later fast.
Speaker 5: They're saying, have something small, have something moderate, so you
Speaker 5: don't overeat. Your kind of budgeting your calories with this
Speaker 5: and that way you won't go in starving, and we
Speaker 5: don't make the best decisions when we are hungry.
Speaker 4: Also, drink water, fill up on water.
Speaker 2: You agree, Yes, I do that for every meal. I
Speaker 2: drink water first and then I start eating.
Speaker 5: Great Another tip is survey what's there, kind of make
Speaker 5: a mental map of what you have there, and start
Speaker 5: to basically build your plate before you get there, so
Speaker 5: that you have clear direction. If you go up with
Speaker 5: just kind of an open ended idea of I'll eat
Speaker 5: anything in front of me, you will.
Speaker 3: Well, that's not me.
Speaker 2: I there's certain things I just do not eat, will
Speaker 2: not eat, and I have no problem avoiding.
Speaker 3: Okay, I gotta eat ham.
Speaker 4: Okay. Are you a fast eater?
Speaker 3: Relatively? Yeah, I want to get to it.
Speaker 4: Another tip mode it's slower.
Speaker 3: It's slower so you feel.
Speaker 5: To eat more slowly, so you fill more full. It
Speaker 5: takes twenty minutes for your brain to register that you're full.
Speaker 5: Spend that twenty minute savoring your meal.
Speaker 3: Twenty minutes. Yeah.
Speaker 4: Absolutely.
Speaker 5: Another one is don't go back for seconds. That's the
Speaker 5: hardest one, especially if it tastes good.
Speaker 2: See I usually don't go back for seconds. I usually
Speaker 2: go for not at least a full plate. I usually
Speaker 2: go back for seconds of macaroni and cheese. There's usually
Speaker 2: one item more is like the stuffing was on hit
Speaker 2: or the collar greens were great. It's usually one thing
Speaker 2: that I particularly enjoyed. I don't usually get a second
Speaker 2: whole plate.
Speaker 5: And the thing about seconds, Moe, and sorry to be
Speaker 5: the party pooper here, because it does affect me as well,
Speaker 5: is that we're not usually still hungry. We like the
Speaker 5: way that the food tastes, so we go back to
Speaker 5: have more of that good feeling, that dopamine rush to
Speaker 5: our brain, but we don't actually necessarily need it.
Speaker 2: I agree with that, and if only because we also
Speaker 2: know that it's a special meal. It's not something that
Speaker 2: you're going to get every day. Yeah, you only get
Speaker 2: it maybe once or twice a year realistically.
Speaker 5: Another tip, stop when you're full. When you're full and
Speaker 5: you know you don't need to eat me more, just stop.
Speaker 4: I got something else to do.
Speaker 3: I got a tip. Yeah, don't eat leftovers.
Speaker 5: Don't eat leftovers is another one, thank you very much.
Speaker 5: That's difficult for me, especially if it's good, because you
Speaker 5: find that the food has congealed, it's better worse.
Speaker 2: The consistency is not the same. It's not going to
Speaker 2: taste the same. It's not gonna especially coming out of
Speaker 2: the microwave or whatever. And I'm not putting it in
Speaker 2: the oven. I know that's what you're supposed to do
Speaker 2: it takes too damn long. It's not gonna taste the same.
Speaker 2: I'm going to eat in that first sitting and nothing
Speaker 2: after that. Someone's gonna ask me, Hey, do you want
Speaker 2: to take something to go?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Don't you want you leftovers?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Do you want to fix yourself a plate for tomorrow?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 3: Do you want any turkey to make turkey sandwiches with it? No?
Speaker 3: I want none of that stuff.
Speaker 4: You are an anomaly. I have a couple more tips.
Speaker 4: Can I share them with you?
Speaker 2: Really quick?
Speaker 6: Sure?
Speaker 4: Be active after you've.
Speaker 5: Eaten your milmo, get up and take a walk, a walk,
Speaker 5: spend some time fifteen to twenty minutes, get your your
Speaker 5: metabolism going.
Speaker 3: You move around a lot.
Speaker 2: Okay, we're asking a lot. The football game is on.
Speaker 2: My pants don't fit anymore. I have to unbutton my
Speaker 2: pants and lay back in my chair so I can
Speaker 2: watch one of the or two of the food.
Speaker 5: That's because you went up there and got seconds.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, it's just Thanksgiving is not the exercise
Speaker 2: after dinner day.
Speaker 5: Take a walk, take a walk, make make it a
Speaker 5: family thing. Go take a quick walk. And then, lastly,
Speaker 5: and I did mention this before, if you are going
Speaker 5: to imbibe, whether it is beer or wine or champagne
Speaker 5: during that toast, drink alcohol in moderation. Alcohol has a
Speaker 5: lot of sneaky calories, a lot of sugar, and it
Speaker 5: could add to that feeling of not feeling that great
Speaker 5: after you've already had a really big meal.
Speaker 2: Wait, just want to be clear, So the forty five
Speaker 2: forty five hundred calories did er did not include the outfit.
Speaker 3: It did not, So you might be up to like
Speaker 3: six thousands.
Speaker 5: Easily depending on how much alcohol you have right. And
Speaker 5: then the final tip of course, enjoy your Thanksgiving and
Speaker 5: spending time with your family and really just try and
Speaker 5: be present.
Speaker 4: Put the phones away.
Speaker 3: What if your family's really getting on your g damn.
Speaker 4: Nerves, then that's where you take a walk.
Speaker 3: Well played, there you go, well played.
Speaker 2: When we come back, we have your pair of tickets
Speaker 2: to the Trans Siberian Orchestra coming up on November thirtieth,
Speaker 2: this Saturday at three pm. We got one pair for
Speaker 2: one lucky winner, so stick around for that.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Moe Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty.
Speaker 2: Some people had hit me on my social media at
Speaker 2: Later with mo kelly and at mister mo kelly Instagram,
Speaker 2: asking is like, so how long would I get to
Speaker 2: co host a show with you with later mo kelly.
Speaker 2: If we were to be the highest bidder for Pastathon
Speaker 2: that for that prize, well, it would be the whole show.
Speaker 3: It'd be the whole three hours, the whole time, the

Speaker 2: people want to get in early and intimidate any other bidders.

Speaker 2: going to be co hosting this show with us and
Speaker 2: when I say co hosting, they're going to be co produced.
Speaker 2: They're going to be suggested subjects and discussions that we're
Speaker 2: going to have talking about movies or television shows that
Speaker 2: are entertainment more generally, and they're going to probably find
Speaker 2: out whether Mark Runner is as funny as he thinks
Speaker 2: he is. They're going to participate in the Runner Report,
Speaker 2: maybe if Mark allows it, but you'll be fully I'll
Speaker 2: say embedded in the show. All you gotta do, let's
Speaker 2: go to KFIM six forty dot com forward slash Pastathon

Speaker 2: It's Later with mo Kelly KFI AM six forty. We
Speaker 2: are live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 1: You're listening to Later with Mo Kelly on demand from
Speaker 1: KFI AM six.
Speaker 6: Forty Oh Kelly six.
Speaker 3: Live everywhere on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 2: For some people, it's right now, For others it's not
Speaker 2: until after Thanksgiving. For others, it's as soon as you
Speaker 2: get past Halloween. And what I mean by that is
Speaker 2: when the holiday season officially begins. I know we had
Speaker 2: not even gotten through Halloween and people were putting up
Speaker 2: their Christmas decorations outside their house. For some people, you
Speaker 2: get past Labor Day or Veterans Day, it's on and
Speaker 2: cracking for the holidays. Me personally, and I can't speak
Speaker 2: for anyone else, and we'll go around the room. It's
Speaker 2: not the holiday season until until I hear a particular
Speaker 2: song and and and it's after Thanksgiving. I can't emotionally
Speaker 2: even process anything having to do with Christmas or New
Speaker 2: Year's until we get past Thanksgiving. And also, working in radio,
Speaker 2: I don't even perceive holidays in the same way as
Speaker 2: other folks because I'm usually working the holidays. Even before
Speaker 2: I had lad with mo Kelly, I was working the
Speaker 2: call it like the Twelve Days of most working like
Speaker 2: every day pre Christmas through New Year's Day. So it's
Speaker 2: always different for me being able to settle in and
Speaker 2: settle down for the holidays. But I can't start thinking
Speaker 2: about the holiday season until let's say, maybe Saturday after
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving and I start hearing certain songs.
Speaker 3: For me, it's it's it's it's I don't know, I'm weird.
Speaker 2: I'm almost OCD Like I can't emotionally commit to Christmas
Speaker 2: until at least Saturday after Thanksgiving, and I have to
Speaker 2: hear the song This Christmas the original by Donnie Hathaway.
Speaker 2: Then I'm ready to usher in the season. That's just me,
Speaker 2: Tiffany Hobbes, what about you?
Speaker 5: November first is Christmas? November first, November first is Christmas.
Speaker 5: It's when Christmas starts November November.
Speaker 2: In other words, you haven't even finished eating your Halloween Candi.
Speaker 5: No, you know, once Halloween is out of the way,
Speaker 5: it is it is November.
Speaker 4: I mean it is.
Speaker 5: It is Christmas season for me, and I think that
Speaker 5: that has to do a lot with shopping and consumerism,
Speaker 5: because they've started putting the Christmas stuff on the shelves
Speaker 5: as soon as middle of October. At least that's what
Speaker 5: I saw, and I think I follow the sentiment that way.
Speaker 5: My brain just arts to wire itself for Christmas.
Speaker 2: All right, Mark Runner, I know you the very festive type.
Speaker 2: You would never say, Bob humbug, You're trying to paint
Speaker 2: me as a grinch, and I won't have it. Damn you.
Speaker 2: You bring up Halloween. I'm not done with Halloween yet.
Speaker 2: And then I think Halloween is the most fun of
Speaker 2: all the holidays. And the goal for me of Christmas
Speaker 2: time is not to absolutely despise all the music by
Speaker 2: the time it's New Year's I try to limit my
Speaker 2: exposure to that because what starts off as something enjoyable
Speaker 2: and fun can get pretty grading by about the thousandth listening.
Speaker 2: And no disrespect to like Coast one on three point five,
Speaker 2: our partner station, they pride themselves on playing Christmas music
Speaker 2: rather early, rather early. For me, I'm like you Mark
Speaker 2: in this regard, where too much, too soon, too fast
Speaker 2: can take away from the overall experience. I do have
Speaker 2: some traditions, like, for example, every Christmas Eve, I will
Speaker 2: watch Die Hard every Christmas Eve, really without fail. I've
Speaker 2: been doing it for the past at least fifteen years.
Speaker 2: I think we've established it's a Christmas movie. Yeah, there's
Speaker 2: no more debate on that that people used to debate that.
Speaker 3: I don't know why. I don't know why.
Speaker 6: Have you seen the ornaments, the McLain ornaments that are
Speaker 6: essentially like uh tinfoil with a picture of Bruce Willis
Speaker 6: in it?
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, I have some at home. As a matter
Speaker 2: of fact, similar to that.
Speaker 6: By the way, I saw the best, the best Christmas
Speaker 6: ornament I've ever seen, and I posted it on I
Speaker 6: think Facebook.
Speaker 3: Last night.
Speaker 6: It's one of the orbs with the with the spikes
Speaker 6: from phantasm as a Christmas tree. Oh yes, I want
Speaker 6: those all over my tree.
Speaker 2: That makes perfect sense, all right, Stefan, what about you,
Speaker 2: I'd say for me, it's once that Thanksgiving Day parade
Speaker 2: gets started, that's Christmas for me after that. So right
Speaker 2: after Thanksgiving, when you see like Santa Clausmsy, Santa c
Speaker 2: come down that street, I'm like, all right, it's Christmas time.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 2: I can't command this just too much. It's asking too
Speaker 2: much too soon, because then I feel as if I'm
Speaker 2: like I'm gonna run out of gas. I'm gonna run
Speaker 2: out of energy. I'm gonna run out of steam by
Speaker 2: December fourteenth or something, and then I will just be
Speaker 2: tired of it.
Speaker 3: All.
Speaker 2: I like the warm up to it, but I can't
Speaker 2: be too fast, and I can make some really inappropriate
Speaker 2: parallels and analogies and I'll let your mind just run
Speaker 2: with it. Well you just did, No, it's your mind
Speaker 2: who went there. I'm saying I couldn't go there. I'm
Speaker 2: saying you can't be too fast out of the gate.
Speaker 2: That's all I'll say. But then you know, like December
Speaker 2: Fourteenth's like you're tired of it and you lose the
Speaker 2: whole spirit, the celebration aspect of it.
Speaker 3: But you're shaking.
Speaker 4: Absolutely not.
Speaker 5: You don't lose the spirit. You just it gives you
Speaker 5: more time to reckon with it, to be in it,
Speaker 5: to feel it.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: The more time to be in the Christmas spirit, mo,
Speaker 4: the better.
Speaker 3: No, No, less is more.
Speaker 2: Less is more because then I can appreciate the time
Speaker 2: of the moment, the family, like, for example, all that
Speaker 2: is part of it. If I've been celebrating the Christmas
Speaker 2: season for about thirty days like you November first, No,
Speaker 2: that's likely fifty five days. Yeah, then I finally get
Speaker 2: to the presence. Then I finally get to the dinner.
Speaker 2: Then I finally get to the family gathering. I am
Speaker 2: warn the f out I.
Speaker 5: Think that you're making a presumption of why I do this.
Speaker 5: It's not for the big payoff at the end. It's
Speaker 5: to feel the good feelings, the rush that Christmas gives everyone.
Speaker 5: It's the colors, the smells, the just the warmth of
Speaker 5: the season that comes with being in the Christmas spirit
Speaker 5: that I want to stretch out as long as possible
Speaker 5: and by January. First, everyone's done with it, so it's like,
Speaker 5: can't do it on the back end.
Speaker 4: Let's do it before m I make a compelling argument.
Speaker 2: You make a compelling argument. I just don't buy it.
Speaker 2: I just don't agree with that. I mean, look, is
Speaker 2: it as enjoyable the longer it.
Speaker 5: Is, I mean, yeah, size, I don't.
Speaker 4: Yes, the longer it is the better mo Kelly.
Speaker 3: Okay, uh Stephan no, yeah.
Speaker 4: See it's Giving. It's Giving Tuesday, before the Giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2: It's time for me to go to break that. Just
Speaker 2: that took me out the spirit. It's later with bo
Speaker 2: Kelly k IF I am six forty. We're live everywhere
Speaker 2: in the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 3: Whatever happens, we have got it covered.
