Holiday Vibes And Gingerbread Chaos

SPEAKER_00 0:57

It's the most wonderful day of the week.

SPEAKER_03 1:04

Yeah, guys, it's Tuesday. Uh, we're so glad you're here. It's the holiday season, um, which means it's photo season.

SPEAKER_00 1:13

It's the holiday season.

SPEAKER_03 1:15

Yes, it is. And if you're like me and you just hate what you look like in photos, which is because I don't know what to do with my body parts. Sometimes my face even looks like I'm like it's like unhappy housewife smile, where you're like, kind of smiling. Um, these tips are for you. So today um we have an article that we're referencing about how to not do weird things with your body in photos.

SPEAKER_00 1:45

But first, but first she turns this gingerbread house into a gingerbread home. It's Caitlin.

SPEAKER_03 1:53

Oh, she's my sneakily talented hawk. That's Jenny. Yours are always so sweet in my or like yeah, and that was tongue in cheek. Let's be real.

SPEAKER_01 2:05

I mean, ew.

unknown 2:08

But thanks.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

Um I didn't say what kind of home. Ah no, um, so I I took a gingerbread like decorating class this week. Um because of course you did. It was the first time I had done a gingerbread house, Sans Kids, in 13 years.

SPEAKER_03 2:31

And I didn't so proud of it. You didn't use graham crackers on the side of a milk carton to make no no no no.

SPEAKER_01 2:37

Like this, oh, it was really cool. Like they had the houses already assembled. You were literally just decorating them. But I like I was not I was doing it by myself. I was having so much fun. It uh it was half a dozen women just decorating their gingerbread houses, chit-chatting while we're doing it. And I was so proud of it. I brought it home. Abigail sees it the next morning, and she was like, You made a gingerbread house without me? I was like, Yes. Yes, I did. But don't worry, kit wasn't there, nobody was there, it was just me, and it was amazing. Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_03 3:12

Your audio is doing that staticky thing again.

SPEAKER_02 3:15

I have all new equipment.

SPEAKER_00 3:18

Is it better now?

SPEAKER_03 3:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 3:20

Okay, I won't move.

unknown 3:23

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 3:24

Well, I mean, that sounds like fun. Um, given that I will destroy your home, apparently. No, you're not just saying, just saying, you warm it right up.

SPEAKER_01 3:36

I'll eat it. Have you seen the ones where people like are not happy with their gingerbread house, so they put a toy dinosaur on it?

SPEAKER_03 3:44

No, but that's kind of awesome. I like that.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

Now they're like, oh, my dinosaur ate my uh gingerbread house.

SPEAKER_03 3:50

Yeah, that's a good idea.

SPEAKER_01 3:51

I like that. There was one year that Abby did a murder like crime scene house.

SPEAKER_02 3:56

Uh God, I love that little girl. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 4:00

Um our gingerbread houses also normally have some kind of koi pond in the backyard with goldfish in it.

SPEAKER_03 4:06

Ooh, that's a cool idea. I can get into that. I'm down. I I don't think most people do that. So that's a nice creative uh also in this class.

SPEAKER_01 4:17

I learned that if you turn an ice cream cone upside down and cover it in green frosting, it's now a tree.

SPEAKER_03 4:22

Yes, that one I had seen before. That's a good hack. Does anybody actually eat gent Red Houses?

SPEAKER_01 4:27

Oh, well, Kit asked if he could eat, and I said no. He's like, no, this is food that's sat out. Like, no.

SPEAKER_03 4:34

That I also touched every bit of and probably rubbed my nose at some point and then.

SPEAKER_01 4:39

Oh, you did. I know it's like cutting candy with scissors. I don't even know if those scissors are for food.

Why Your Hands Look Weird In Photos

SPEAKER_03 4:45

Ew. Yuck. And now let's go to the topic that we're talking about. We're actually here to do something. Yeah, sorry. So um, again, today I'm telling you to stop doing these three things in photos. My source today is a photographer, former photographer for Pure Wow. Uh her name is Mirsa Wu. The article is called I'm a Photographer, and these are the three things you should avoid doing in photos. She actually worked at popular photography for a while. Um, also has credits with Southern Living and Martha Stewart. So I was kind of like, all right, this girl at least knows what she's doing. She knows what she's doing. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so first tip. Uh that she so on the article, if you look at it, uh um, which and I'll link it, of course, in the blog post for today, you'll see that there's a a what to do picture and a what not-to-do picture.

SPEAKER_01 5:39

Oh my gosh, love it.

SPEAKER_03 5:40

And the not-to-do picture cracks me up because the description that she's providing is dead on accurate. Okay. So what she says, the first thing to do is do not lace your fingers together.

SPEAKER_01 5:50

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 5:51

Because she had a professor who was like, your fingers will look like slugs. And when you see the picture, like, look at my hands right now. Right? That's interesting. They look like little, and and she also says this applies to solo pictures and couples' pictures. Like the couples' pictures where you're like, oh, it's so sweet, it makes your hands. No, it looks it makes your fingers look gross. And I have very short, stubby fingers, and I have long nails on them because it I feel like it makes my fingers look less stubby. And so the last thing I want in my photos is to have sluggy, stubby fingers. It just makes me terrible.

SPEAKER_01 6:30

I I I I would want to meet the woman who says, I want to have stubby, sluggy fingers in my fingers.

SPEAKER_03 6:36

I literally put in the notes nobody wants to have their fingers look like slugs because that's gross. Like, who wants that? So here's what you do instead: you overlap your fingers like princess hands.

SPEAKER_01 6:49

You know, that is actually why Kate Middleton carries a clutch.

SPEAKER_03 6:52

Yes, because it means there's nothing in there.

SPEAKER_01 6:54

It's not like she has to show her ID somewhere or has car keys. She's holding it so she has something to do with her hands. She holds it with one hand and then holds her hand with the other.

SPEAKER_03 7:06

Exactly. So that's the next tip is in if you're not gonna have anything in your hands and you just overlap them, instead you could put something in your hands so that your hands have a task. So you can hold your blazer lapel because all of us are wearing blazers all the time. Um, you can hold your skirt, like just hold the side. You can put rest your hand on the fence that you're standing next to, or if it's a Christmas photo with family or a holiday photo with family, you put your hand on your child's shoulders. Something with your hands, hold a beverage, whatever it is, just put something in your hand.

SPEAKER_01 7:40

I have also seen um show your accessories.

SPEAKER_03 7:45

Oh.

SPEAKER_01 7:46

So like put your hand on your earring or grab your your bracelet, um, play with your necklace, like do something with what you're wearing. I like that. Um, because it's like natural and not to bring another princess into it, but Meghan Markle always touches her earring because it makes her turn her face a little bit so you get a little profile shot.

SPEAKER_03 8:07

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 8:07

And it has her hand like daintily touching her neck, so she's always like fiddling with her earring for her pictures.

SPEAKER_03 8:13

But it also kind of looks like you might be tucking your hair behind your ear or something, so it's sort of it is a very natural sort of look. It's not just like let me show you my earring and right, right, right.

SPEAKER_01 8:22

Yeah, no, in your in your mind, you're saying show off your accessories in your body, you're actually just touching them somehow, right? Or featuring them in the in your movement.

SPEAKER_03 8:29

I like that one. Okay. Second tip don't.

SPEAKER_01 8:33

Does this involve slugs?

SPEAKER_03 8:35

No, but it does involve meaty thighs, which I am familiar with.

SPEAKER_01 8:39

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:41

I have those former I didn't play soccer for so long that like they're super prominent, but I do have like former soccer player thigh and calf issues. So my legs are meaty, okay? And I just have meaty thighs. So um don't put all of your weight on your front leg.

SPEAKER_01 8:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 8:59

No. Um, when you pop one leg, meaning like you bend one knee and you sort of pop the leg out. The the goal is to make you have an S sort of curve to your body, right? It's supposed to be more flattering. The problem with doing that is that most people put the weight on the wrong leg. They put their they put the weight on the front leg, the one that's closer to the camera, which just makes it look bigger. So when you do the S thing, the popping thing, you're supposed to put the weight on the back leg and sort of just like rest your other foot on the ground, if that makes any sense.

SPEAKER_01 9:38

Like it's only so my friend who is a photographer many years ago, I'm talking like more than a decade, told me whatever is closest to the camera is biggest. Yes. So, and she was helping me out um by saying, like, move your head a little further. So that you don't have the the So that you don't have like a yeah, yeah. Um, but that makes sense. If you put all your weight on your front leg, like that front leg is gonna look bigger than the rest of your body.

SPEAKER_03 10:08

Right. And it already looks bigger than the rest of your body. So then you're like emphasizing it by popping it into the lost the angle that you were trying to build.

SPEAKER_01 10:15

Right. And instead just turned your leg into an elephant leg.

Leg Placement And The S-Curve Fix

SPEAKER_03 10:19

Right. Exactly. It's not an S anymore. It's a it's a It's now just a column. Right. Okay, got it, got it. Right. So So what do I do instead? Instead, you're gonna reverse the weight. You put your weight on the back leg and pop the front leg because when you do that, you're gonna slim out the front one a little bit more. Um so when you the same thing applies when you cross your legs in if you're sitting in a picture. Um, the leg that is close to the camera should be crossed over the leg that's further away. So you you want to make sure that whatever weight you're putting in, you put it in the one that's further away from the camera, just to emphasize one proportionality and two like S and not tree trunk. Right, like that's what we're doing. So shift that weight to the back leg. Okay. Okay, the last one. This is where I really it's one thing.

SPEAKER_01 11:12

I'm already still like I have an image of tree trunk. Like I can't take that out of my head.

SPEAKER_03 11:16

Well, you gave me elephant legs, so that's where my brain is, right? Um I this is probably the one that's hardest for me. Hands I can handle, but arms I really sorry. Yeah, no, I got you. Totally. Arms are where I really arms, arms down, arm, arms off to the side. Like what arms? Oh, right.

SPEAKER_01 11:41

And you can't you can't do the teacup anymore because it's like not 2004.

SPEAKER_03 11:46

Except you can. Okay, so um here's here's my sister calls it the skinny arm. I'm going for it. I don't care. Yeah. We just talked about how we need to make things look slimmer in the picture. I'm gonna do a skinny arm. It's fine.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

So, okay, tell us how to do it naturally to where we don't look like we're taking a picture in our college sorority.

SPEAKER_03 12:05

Okay, so she says to the former sorority girl. Okay, so here's what you don't do. You don't push your arms.

SPEAKER_01 12:13

Oh my gosh, I just looked at the note at the notes and you literally used the word teapot.

SPEAKER_03 12:18

Yes. I didn't even see that.

SPEAKER_01 12:19

That's just what I've called it. That is hilarious. Okay, continue on.

SPEAKER_03 12:23

So you don't push your arms into your sides. So like arms straight down makes them makes everything look wider. Right. Um, it just the line that Marissa Wu, the author, uses is um no matter how pretty someone is, their arm will still look bad according to cultural beauty standards. Splayed out and flat like roadkill against their torso. Ew. I was like, that is what sold me on this article is that line right there, because that's so real to say something like roadkill and have it published on a website. Because that's exactly what all of us are thinking, right?

SPEAKER_01 13:01

Like we're all like especially if you're not wearing sleeves, it's like really not flattering.

SPEAKER_03 13:05

Oh, it's not flattering at all. No, you can't have it. So here's what you do, all right? You teapot yourself.

SPEAKER_01 13:12

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 13:13

And she says the teapot pose may live in Y2K infamy, and she's not wrong. But if you have no other ideas, it does work. So you might as well go for it, okay?

SPEAKER_01 13:24

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Um what that means is you have like you pretend, you know, I'm a little teapot. You have your arm sort of teapotted bent so that your elbow is out and your hand is in towards your waist, okay? So it looks like you're making a triangle with your arm up against your body, okay? Right. She also says you can level it up with what this pure wild beauty director named Jenny Jin, whose articles we've also featured on this show, calls the raptor pose. And now, this is not like pretend you're a T-Rex. This is not like she kind of. Because that is where my brain went, okay. But she calls them Princess.

SPEAKER_01 13:59

Both of us have sons, of course. We went to dinosaur.

SPEAKER_03 14:01

Right. Well, and I we just got off of a Disney cruise, so my brain also went Toy Story, like with the dinosaur creature. Oh, yes. Right. Like, yeah. Um, so isn't that the also isn't that the voice of the guy from Princess Bride? Isn't that the same dude?

SPEAKER_01 14:15

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:15

It's gotta be, right? Okay.

SPEAKER_01 14:17

It's inconceivable that it wouldn't be.

SPEAKER_03 14:18

Right, yeah, thank you. Okay. Um, so you hold your hands in front of you like you're holding a purse, and then you put your elbows out away. So, like, right, right, right.

SPEAKER_01 14:28

Because you're not holding the purse as the length of your arms, you're holding it like at your belt buckle.

SPEAKER_03 14:33

Right.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

Which makes your arms bend to give you an angle.

SPEAKER_03 14:36

Right. And then and then you unnaturally probably force them outward a little bit.

SPEAKER_01 14:41

Right. So it's not It also straightens out your shoulders a little bit. It does. Look, I'm doing it right now, and I mean, obviously, you can't look. This is an audio-only format, but as I do that, I can feel my whole exactly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 14:53

And the way that I kind of think of it is um anytime we're going for like having a a a body and then arms. We're not trying to have like body arms, right? It's like we talk about like cankles. You want to have definition between the two things. So when your arms are schmooshed up against your body, it just looks like body with some hands hanging off the side. But if you create some space, Jenny's looking at me.

SPEAKER_01 15:20

I'm dying. I'm like imagining a toddler drawing with like hands coming out the side, right? It's like body arms.

SPEAKER_03 15:27

Body arms. As I lovingly referred to my butt and thigh to my friend Amanda, it's my by, right? Like it's just it's all one thing and they're supposed to be distinct. So if your arms are not distinct from the rest of your body, your barms, your barms, you look ridiculous. So you need to separate. So that's why teapot arms work because you're you're creating space and separation between the arm and the rest of your body. Yes, you're removing the barms and turning it into.

SPEAKER_01 15:59

I also like the like hands on each other's shoulders. Again, that like opens you up so you can like put your hands on the people near you.

SPEAKER_03 16:06

I typically demand to be in the middle of group photos because then I can put my arms behind people. Right. And I don't have it opens you up. Right. But I also don't have to think about what I'm doing with my hands. But that doesn't always work when you have three sisters and one of whom is very insistent on only taking pictures on one side of her body. Actually, I have two of them who do that. So I it's very difficult to make sense of it.

SPEAKER_01 16:31

It's not the different side. Because then you can't do it. No, it's not that it's the same. No, it's right. That's what I'm saying. No, no. Um, I also like the move of sticking one hand up in the air. Yes, you do that. I share. Yeah. But also But again, it elongates me.

SPEAKER_03 16:44

It elongates, but it and it lends itself to that S shape, right? As long as you're putting your weight on the back leg, it it lends itself to that S shape.

SPEAKER_01 16:51

So um but you gotta be ready to do that because that owns the photo.

Arms, Not Barms: Create Space

SPEAKER_03 16:55

You do have, yeah, you have it has to be a special level of um look at me, right? Right, that's what that photo is. That is what that is. It is a look at me photo. Okay. So the three things we're not gonna do. We're not gonna lace our fingers together, we're not gonna put all the weight on our front leg and make it look like a tree trunk, and we're not going to put arms into sides and create barms. Okay? Got it. All right, let's take a break. For links to resources mentioned in this episode, head on over to ck and gkpodcast.com slash blog to find everything you need. And be sure to follow us on social media. Head over to your favorite social media network and find us at CKNGK Podcast. And now, back to the show.

SPEAKER_01 17:40

All right, so now we're back. Um, let me tell you what I am obsessed with.

SPEAKER_03 17:45

Yeah, I want to hear it.

SPEAKER_01 17:46

It is the time of year where we are having all of the parties.

SPEAKER_03 17:50

Yeah, that's why you did pick, that's why we did a thing about photos.

SPEAKER_01 17:53

Right, right. Exactly. So what I'm obsessed with right now, minute to win it games.

SPEAKER_02 18:00

Oh, like all the ones that are.

SPEAKER_01 18:01

What I bring to a party now. Yeah. Yeah. So instead of saying, like, oh, I'll bring a cheese plate, like something that takes work, I'm like, oh, I'll bring a game. And so my favorite one right now is the only thing you need is a dozen candy canes.

SPEAKER_03 18:17

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 18:18

But you need a dozen per team.

SPEAKER_03 18:21

Okay. Those are easy though. Those are like what two bucks a couple. Really easy.

SPEAKER_01 18:24

Yeah. And they're, yeah, right? So one person puts the candy cane in their mouth with the hook out, and everyone else spreads the candy canes, the 11 remaining, on the floor. And that person has to hook them and collect them. The person who uh the team that gets their 11 picked up fastest wins.

SPEAKER_03 18:47

That's hysterical.

SPEAKER_01 18:48

It's amazing.

SPEAKER_03 18:49

I saw one that was um big marshmallows on a table, and you put your kids' hands in red solo cups and they have to pick them again. And you yeah, those are just that's amazing.

SPEAKER_01 19:03

Those are so there's tons of them out there. Um, I think we have talked about them on the show before, but to me, it's it's like it's the easiest thing to bring to a party. Um, it's also not a 30-minute game that people are like, okay, we're over this. Like, and there's some that are messy, like how fast can you wrap your friend? Um, but that's I don't like that.

SPEAKER_02 19:23

But it's also fun, it's wasteful, right?

SPEAKER_01 19:25

And it just costs a roll of wrapping paper and tape. But um the they're they're fun and they don't take up much time, they don't cost a lot of money, and it gets you off the hook for having to cook.

SPEAKER_03 19:37

There's also like something uniquely uh bonding about those activities because they're funny. Like we've talked about this before. Anytime you laugh together, it doesn't need to be a long game, it just needs to be funny.

SPEAKER_01 19:49

So I think that's you do not need any athletic ability to be talented at these games.

SPEAKER_03 19:54

That's the other thing. I wish that when people are doing, excuse me, like professional development games that are like meant to be bonding, you would if you focused on laughing as opposed to sharing, you would bond people a lot faster.

SPEAKER_01 20:09

I don't get why that's not a a thing, but and I have if I have to make one more spaghetti and marshmallow tower, I swear.

SPEAKER_03 20:20

No, no, those are awful. No more STEM challenges. Just make me laugh.

SPEAKER_01 20:26

Make me laugh. Make me laugh. Have me do something completely and totally ridiculous. I loved this game. It was done in about 12 seconds. Oh yeah. The fastest kid was incredible. We were like, why are you good at this? Oh, there was another one um that I played recently where we took everybody had um tiny, like the the fun size uh MMs. Oh, yeah. Okay. Okay. And then there are cards in the colors of MMs. Okay. And so you open your bag when they say go, and you have to sort them onto the colors. Oh, dude. And everyone on your team has to get their bags sorted to be done. Oh gosh. But everyone's sorting at the same time. Yeah. Okay. So again, it happens in like 20 seconds, everybody's done. And people are frantically moving MMs around the table. Red, red.

SPEAKER_03 21:27

That's pretty funny. I could see middle schoolers turning this into another. Well, we played it with middle schoolers.

SPEAKER_01 21:32

And then they ate the MMs, which I thought was disgusting.

SPEAKER_03 21:34

Yeah. Yeah. I was like, you guys, everyone has touched these at the time. Yeah. Can we wash hands before we do this? That's a little gross. Okay. Well.

SPEAKER_01 21:41

Okay. Sorry. That's my obsession. What's yours?

Quick Break And Links

SPEAKER_03 21:43

Okay, well, speaking of laughing, I don't know how often the Muppet Christmas Carol like appears in your Christmas movie lineup, but it needs to be all the time. Because I've watched it twice already this season. That's nothing compared to how many times we've already watched Home Alone, which is like 12. But um it is hysterical. And one of my favorite things in this world is Muppets acting like regular adults and breaking character and or having bloopers. Like Unhinged Elmo when he breaks the fourth wall and like cannot handle Zoe talking about Rocco is one of my most hilarious. Like I will cry laughing every time. It's so good. So not only am I obsessed with Muppet Christmas Carol, but I also found an Instagram reel of Muppet Christmas Carol bloopers.

SPEAKER_01 22:36

I am all about it. You know I love the Muppets. Yes, I do know you love the Muppets. I love the Muppets. And when we were on this trip, that we should probably recap at some point.

SPEAKER_03 22:43

We should recap at some point, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 22:45

Um, there was a one of the things that you could do is solve a Muppet mystery. And there was a little girl solving the missing 101 Dalmatian puppy mystery.

SPEAKER_02 22:58

Oh, that's cool.

SPEAKER_01 22:58

And so it uses the same technology, but like depending on what mystery you're doing, is what the screen plays for you, right? Yeah. You sign up, okay, I'm doing the Muppets. But we were at the same station and she was waiting to do the puppies and we were doing the Muppets. And she was like, What is that? And I looked at her parents in disgust and I was like, What do you mean your kid doesn't know what the ball is? No, no, I didn't. I didn't. So I'm telling her, I was like, these are the Muppets. They were created by a magical man named Jim Henson. And I'm like giving her the whole story, and I'm like pointing to each of the Muppets on the street, and I was like, This one is Miss Piggy. She's the prettiest Muppet, but she's not the nicest one.

Party Season Minute-To-Win-It Games

SPEAKER_03 23:38

She's like Daisy Duck, she's a diva, but even sassier.

SPEAKER_01 23:42

It was too funny. I'm like exploring this whole Muppet world with her while we're waiting for you know a 30-second video clip to play for the team in front of us. And her parents just kind of look at me like, who is this crazy Muppet lady and why is she talking to my kids?

SPEAKER_03 23:56

First of all, if you're feeling that way about other adults on a Disney cruise talking to your kid, then you need to go somewhere. Second of all, make your kid watch the Muppet Christmas car. Oh my gosh, it's so good.

SPEAKER_01 24:06

It's also the rat steals the show. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 24:08

Like the literature.

SPEAKER_01 24:09

It's my favorite Muppet for shirk.

SPEAKER_03 24:11

Oh, yeah. I also do love um the Swedish Chef guy because he's so ridiculous. Anyway, so this in this looper, this one particular one, you know, the ghost of Christmas present, this massive Muppet who's probably got a person inside of him because he's so big. Oh they're walking the streets of London with Michael Caine of all people. And at one point he gestures wildly and hits Michael Caine in the face. It brought tears to my eyes because his Michael Cain's like trying not to break character, but he does like just hurt a little bit. It's so good. And I just I Sam has been anti until this year, where I was like, no, we are watching this together because it's funny. And I think the crew's sort of helped that a little bit because he knows who they are now, but uh it just it's making me laugh and it's bringing joy to my heart. It's like such a good, it's a good Christmas story, and then you add to it like anytime there's jokes for adults, it's just gonna make it smarter case.

SPEAKER_01 25:17

That's one of the things that's great about the Muppets is that it definitely um meets everyone's yes, meets everyone's needs.

SPEAKER_03 25:25

It's it's good for everybody. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:26

So in Muppet News, did you hear that they are rebranding the Aerosmith rock and roller coaster to be the Muppets Rock and Roller Coaster?

SPEAKER_03 25:37

I did not know that. But Animal should be featured heavily on that just to breach that.

SPEAKER_01 25:42

It's gonna be the electric mayhem, the whole band.

unknown 25:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 25:47

It's gonna be good. It's gonna be really good. Now, the sad part about that is they're closing Muppets 3D.

SPEAKER_02 25:54

SPEAKER_03 26:10

And um, the rumor is that while they're closing it, they are trying to find a way to re-like put it somewhere else because they do know that it's a fan favorite. And Pizza Rizzo is closing. It's rat pizza.

SPEAKER_02 26:31

What does he say in that movie? It's like, uh, my mom told me never to eat stinging food. Yeah. Like what? Like what? Okay.

SPEAKER_01 26:40

Alright, so Gem of the Week. Um, Abigail is trying to bake something, and um, all of the measurements are in um large quantities for like it's it's like a legit baker's recipe. Okay. Right? So everything is measured in um weight or volume instead of like item. So instead of like a cup of flour, you need 300 grams of flour, whatever. Well, we have a food scale, so it's fine. But the eggs are measured 800 milliliters of eggs.

SPEAKER_03 27:16

Oh gosh.

SPEAKER_01 27:17

It's like I don't even know. I'm just gonna go.

SPEAKER_03 27:20

Just put the thing on the scale and start counting.

SPEAKER_01 27:23

We we have to like measure the volume of an egg. Yeah. Um, well, I didn't do that. Oh, that would have been smart. So instead, I start Googling how many eggs in 800 milliliters. I'm like, someone somewhere got a flag that someone Googled this.

SPEAKER_03 27:40

Yeah. And what's the answer? Do you know?

SPEAKER_01 27:42

Um, it's uh between 14 and 17. That's depending on the size of the eggs. And it's a lot of eggs, but it's making a moose.

SPEAKER_03 27:49

Oh, okay. But that's a lot of moose, too.

SPEAKER_01 27:52

It's a filling.

SPEAKER_03 27:53

Oh, okay. Understood.

SPEAKER_01 27:55

Yeah, she's making a Yulog. Nice. I love it. Yeah. I was like, uh, excuse me, what? 800 milliliters of eggs? Who is measuring their eggs in milliliters? I am measuring them in each.

SPEAKER_03 28:07

Right. And like or doesn't get a carton. Like just go get one of those like liquid eggs cartons. Ugh, gross. Okay. Um mine is uh instinctively, when someone puts their finger in my face, I try to bite it. It's just a thing.

SPEAKER_01 28:24

It's like if you put your hand over my mouth to make me stop talking, I'm gonna lick you.

SPEAKER_03 28:28

I'm gonna lick it. Right. Just so Sam's thing is to put his finger near my mouth and watch me try to bite it. And he says the other day, he says to my father-in-law, Cappy, my mom bites. And he it's his like his thing is to like tell people that I bite like a dog, like, careful, she bites, right? Like, so he's like, That's a good thing for people to know about you. It is, I agree. And then at one point he did stick his finger in my mouth. I did bite it, and then he goes, Stop it, let go of me. I'm not a bagel. It made me laugh. Like, I so I uh instinctively let go, otherwise I would have held on to that finger. But I was like, I'm not bagel? Like what's the thing I bite the most? Apparently, I do like bagels, but also I did not expect. I'm not a bagel, he doesn't eat bagels. Wait, where would that come from? But I'm not a bagel. Okay. So two things we learn there. One, he thinks I eat them a lot, and two, I bite. So don't stick your finger in my face. FYI.

SPEAKER_01 29:29

I think you need a shirt that just says I bite.

SPEAKER_03 29:33

I probably do. I probably do need that shirt. I think that's a good one. Speaking of don't bite people. Yeah? Yeah. Make a choice. Make good choices. Don't don't stick your finger in my face. Uh and no slug fingers.
