Speaker 2:

let me let me get there, let me explain. So let me let me explain.

Speaker 1:

So I had a four-handed a four-handed massage. It was one of the most amazing holistic massages. It's at the do you believe that you should give the ring back if you don't go through with the engagement back if you don't go through with the engagement?

Speaker 2:

Like if you don't go through with the marriage. I think it depends on the reason why, like, if you cheated on me, I'm keeping that motherfucker Right. If I am really turned off by you and like I have the ill, I'm giving you the ring back because I don't want.

Speaker 1:

I don't know you kept it.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, you're right, I did keep it.

Speaker 1:

Hey you the ring back because I don't want, I don't know you kept it. Oh yeah, you're right, I did keep it. Hey guys, welcome back to the let's say more podcast. I am Solange and I am Ava. Happy holidays, guys. It is the holiday season and we are a week away from Christmas.

Speaker 2:

I wish we had like jingle bell music we could play we. We can play some right now. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So today we're going to be talking about we took a poll on our Instagram. We took a poll. We weren't on a poll. We were not on a poll. I've never been on a poll. Have you ever been on a poll?

Speaker 2:

No, I'm not coordinated enough to be on a poll Me either. You need never been on a pole. Have you ever been on a pole? No, I'm not coordinated enough to be on a pole Me either. You need coordination, yeah no.

Speaker 1:

So we took a poll and we asked you guys how many of you guys have been proposed to on Christmas and how many of you guys have proposed or wanted to be proposed to. Let me rephrase that how many of you guys wanted to be proposed to on Christmas? It seems to be a popular thing to give a proposal or an engagement ring as a gift, so we have a little statistic that we wanted to share with you guys, and this is from our poll on Instagram. It was 4% of you said yes that you were proposed to on Christmas, 4% 4%, and 96% said no, they were not proposed to, and 9% said yes, they would be open to being proposed to on Christmas, and 91% said no, they would not like to be proposed to on Christmas. Also, another stat, before we get into it, is 31% of engagements take place between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. That's a pretty big statistic, though, because if you think about it, then December seems to be the highest engagement month.

Speaker 2:

They must hike up the prices on diamonds.

Speaker 1:

For sure. But, you know what I found to be the most interesting thing about the statistic on our Instagram.

Speaker 2:

What.

Speaker 1:

That that 4% was you. You said yes, you have been proposed to on Christmas. Now, boo, this is a fact that I don't know about you, because I don't remember you proposing to Fernanda on Christmas, I believe that was March.

Speaker 2:

It was March.

Speaker 1:

And I don't remember you ever proposing to any other girlfriend. So please do explain. It's a fun fact.

Speaker 2:

It sure is. I was 17 years old. Oh my God, just a wee little thing, yeah, I don't think I was 18 yet and the boyfriend I had at the time took me up to this hill, or like oh my God, was it the hill? I don't know if it was the hill, I don't remember. We had a hill, but I didn't live, I didn't go to school near you, I went to school over here yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So it was like a hill, uh-huh, we were in my car and I just bought him cool water colognes, like I didn't think anything Right. And then he gets out of the car, oh my God, and he like proposed to me and then I felt bad, wait, hold on. Were you in the car still? No, no, sorry, I should have said that I got, we got out of the car. Ok, out of the car, okay, got out of the car. And then, yeah, he got down on one knee.

Speaker 1:

Was it in front of a view? Was it nice? Was it pretty?

Speaker 2:

No, I don't remember. I just remember being on the hill and then he got down on one knee and he opened the box and he was like whatever he said, I don't know, ava, will you marry me? And then I was like, oh my God, and I said yeah, because I felt bad. So I said yes, I will.

Speaker 1:

I wonder what the statistic is on how many women say yes because they feel bad.

Speaker 2:

I would say or people in general, I would say 44%.

Speaker 1:

I would probably say it's higher than that. You know what? We're going gonna check that and we're gonna report back yeah.

Speaker 2:

So I said yeah, and then I guess I was a fiance a long time ago. A long time ago I was one. But yeah, I mean it was, it was that is wild, isn't it wild?

Speaker 1:

how did you break off the engagement?

Speaker 2:

I broke up with him. What do you mean? I broke up with him.

Speaker 1:

What do you mean? I broke up with him. Was this the same guy you lost your virginity to? Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh okay.

Speaker 2:

So he was like I'm going to lock her down, I'm going to marry her, yeah and I'm not the type that I was like, oh, you're my first, everything, you got it. No, no, no, no, no.

Speaker 2:

My one and only no. He got Got into like drugs and oh hell, no, I mean sorry, it was weed, it wasn't anything crazy, it was weed. I'm like drugs. He got into drugs Like we're over here thinking he's he was doing some CBD gummies.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, he was smoking weed, but I was really into basketball and I didn't touch any of that stuff. So to me, and then he dropped out of high school so that was unattractive for me. I'm a very big work ethic type of person that attracts me. So, like when he did that, I was like ew, I was totally, and it wasn't like it gave you the ick. It gave me the ick and well, we could say ew, because that's what it was. It gave you the ew. I was like ew. And then I yeah, I was done with him. I didn't. There wasn't any like going back for me. I was like, nah, I'm good. And then he just started doing like weird stuff and I just wasn't into it. But I kept the ring. Now do I know where the ring is? No, but I always told myself I wanted to keep it and turn it in like melt it down.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like make something else out of it, make something else out of it, but I don't know where it is.

Speaker 1:

Do you believe that you should give the ring back if you don't go through with the engagement, like if you don't go through with the marriage.

Speaker 2:

I think it depends on the reason why, like, if you cheated on me, I'm keeping that motherfucker Right. If I am really turned off by you and, like I have the ill, I'm giving you the ring back because I don't want, I don't know you kept it. Oh yeah, you're right, I did keep it, damn it. So you're keeping the ring. I guess I'm the keeper. I'm keeping the motherfucker, no matter what.

Speaker 1:

No matter what, I'm keeping the ring.

Speaker 2:

Because I went through some shit. I'm keeping that motherfucker.

Speaker 1:

Ok, so I understand. If the person who proposes breaks the engagement, maybe you don't give the ring back. Okay, but if you are the person who breaks the engagement off with the person who proposed to you, do you feel that that person should give the ring back? Did that make sense?

Speaker 2:

I'm lost. Okay, Would you give the ring? Well, you were you. You were okay. Let's say your marriage didn't go through. I proposed twice in my life, Okay, so did you get the ring?

Speaker 1:

back. Well, technically yes, both times, but one I actually got married.

Speaker 2:

But you okay. So then you still got. Did she give you the rings back?

Speaker 1:

Yes, Okay, I don't know why I don't. I mean I didn't ask questions. I said you don't need to like.

Speaker 2:

I mean you were fine with not having them back.

Speaker 1:

No, we were married for like six years and together for a really long time. I was like you don't need to give me the rings back. Like that's weird, trade them. I even even said like go trade them in, make yourself something else, buy something else, sell it, take the money and do whatever you want. You know like you don't need to give me the rings back again. I had more of an amicable separation, but I still think that it should be your prerogative to do what you want with your rings if you've gone through with a marriage, because on, because isn't it like it's a gift, right?

Speaker 2:

So if you give the ring back now, you're an Indian giver. So technically, I'm not an Indian. See, I'm not an Indian giver. Yeah, that's true, but I will pack up your shit and give you all the shit back, though I just won't give you the ring back.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, like, if you gave me, like sweaters or like so anything nice that you gave me I won't give back. But all the things that you gave me, that's crap, I'm gonna give that back to you, unless it's like a louis vuitton sweater, I'm keeping the motherfucker.

Speaker 2:

See what I mean I'm keeping the motherfucker so the nice shit, I keep all the ugly shit because I don't want the sentimental shit, like the ring I could sell, I can like break you know what I'm saying but because I'm not going to keep the ring and like put it on my mantle and be like, oh, that one time I was proposed to there are people who keep their engagement rings, and I want to know what they do with it they just have them in as I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Is it like that movie, 27 dresses, where she kept all her bridesmaids dresses, possibly, and they're like how many rings could I have? Can I collect?

Speaker 1:

Listen, I am shocked to know people that have been proposed to so many times, because I can't even imagine having to go through that many yeses or nos that you have to tell somebody yeah, like for me to be that person, to have to be like, but you've done it twice. No, no. I've proposed twice. I've never been proposed to oh, okay, okay.

Speaker 2:

What about what happened to the first girl you proposed to? Did you get your ring back?

Speaker 1:

I did, yeah, and like I mean, how did you get it back? It was get back. It was uh, well, she kind of sort of said yes, ish, oh, did she say like, was it like a? It was like a. It was like a weird sticky situation. I proposed and but then again I didn't really say will you marry me? Did you get down on one knee? No, so again also, it wasn't really like. But I don't know, it was weird.

Speaker 1:

I was really young and I, I didn't do anything the correct way, so you did it your way. I did get my ring back from that situation because she gave it back to me. I think she just did it. She just didn't feel right taking it, which I was perfectly fine with because at that time that was a lot of money to me. So I was like OK, like okay, well, I'll just take that back and I will return it. Oh, you had a gift receipt. I had a. I had a receipt. Yeah, okay, that made me a gift. You know, you had like seven days to return it. No, I don't know, I don't remember, but I did. I did take it back, um, and I, yeah, and then that was the one and only other time that I proposed to anybody other than, obviously, my ex-wife. Okay, I don't think that you should propose, and this is just my opinion, but I don't think that you should propose on any major holiday or birthday.

Speaker 2:

No, let let it have its own meaning. Let it have its own meaning. Yeah, let it have its own date. Yeah, don't take the easy route and say, oh, it's Mother's Day, I didn't know what to get her, so I'm gonna get her a ring, because I do think people it's easier to propose or to get an engagement ring as opposed to putting thought into a gift. I think some people might take that and be like, well, it's New Year's, right, it's New Year's like, let's start off with a proposal, let's start off with a bang.

Speaker 2:

I just contradicted myself because technically that's what I did for the Persian New Year. I proposed to Fernanda. On the Persian New Year oh, Because the. Persian New Year. Though you go into the Persian New Year with good luck, so like if Well, I'm sure you do.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's the same kind of thing that we do, us Americans. Yeah, we go in with good luck. Yeah, you're right. New Year.

Speaker 2:

You're right. So I just contradicted myself. You did Damn it, okay. I just contradicted myself. You did God damn it, okay. Well, I do think it's easier to get them an engagement gift on Christmas or Valentine's.

Speaker 1:

I bet you, valentine's Day is probably the biggest. That is the number one holiday that I think you should absolutely not propose.

Speaker 2:

No, it's so typical cliche, get creative, take them in a hot air balloon. I think that's something I want to do.

Speaker 1:

Oh, my cousin, her, I know I saw her engagement was in turkey and one of those, like um, that he didn't do it in the hot air. They did do the hot air balloon thing, but he did it at the rooftop of the hotel that overlooks. I don't know if you've seen it. It's like instagram, famous overlooks all the hot air balloons that go up. I saw her pictures.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and she was telling us about it and she was telling me that I guess you have to be up really early because the balloons are only up for an hour and it's between 7 am and I think it's like 8 am. So they had her go up there and they give you a dress. They like basically sew you into a dress and you do a photo shoot and the whole thing, and so she was up there, she goes. I was freezing my ass off oh, she's cold in this dress.

Speaker 1:

She goes and we're taking all these pictures and we have this whole breakfast out. That's all for the pictures and everything. She's like kind of going oh god, I don't know, why are we doing this. She spent so much money on this breakfast and she said and then he like taps her on the shoulder and she turns around and the first things that come out of her mouth is shut the fuck up.

Speaker 2:

And he's like okay, I guess that's a no yeah, that's, that's how it feels when, yeah, it's a very um, nerve-wracking thing to to do. Uh, yeah, it is. I mean, thankfully I don't ever have to do it again, but it's not.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's a hard thing to do, for sure, Having to propose in any situation, Whether it's you're opening up a Christmas gift or you're doing it I don't know on the rooftop of a Turkish hotel, yeah.

Speaker 2:

or if you just told your girlfriend that she's going to do a photo shoot in front of some horses and you're waiting for the right moment to get done. Yeah, yeah, that's how your proposal was right boo, yeah, she thought she was in a photo shoot. And little did she know she was going to be a missus.

Speaker 1:

Little did she know she wasn going to be a missus Little did she know she wasn't there for the modeling gig. She was there for the proposal. She got bamboozled.

Speaker 2:

She was so upset, that's fucked up, boo.

Speaker 1:

You made her think she was going to be a supermodel. She got to keep the outfit.

Speaker 2:

They're like chapless pants. So I mean, if we ever want to recreate the moment, yeah right, yeah, here we go.

Speaker 1:

Okay, we have the outfit oh my god, I can't, I can't. I know it's technically a week away from christmas, yeah, but I think it would be kind of cool to do like last minute gift ideas for our community and let them know what they can get as an idea. If you're still looking for that last minute gift that we think could hit for anybody, whether you are any kind of gay or not gay, but if it's for me, I want shoes and socks.

Speaker 2:

Or not gay, but if it's for me, I want shoes and socks.

Speaker 1:

Well, we know what Ava wants, Cause when I asked her for the gift guide she sent me her her Christmas list and I was like I don't think these. I'm like boo, I don't think these are gifts that are going to work for the gays. And she's like what do you mean I'm all off whites. She's like what do you mean? I'm all off whites, off white fours. I'm like. First of all, I had to Google that because I didn't even know what the hell that was.

Speaker 2:

They're nice, though.

Speaker 1:

They're expensive as hell.

Speaker 2:

But they're nice though.

Speaker 1:

My goodness, I feel bad for your wife. Why? Because she's going to have to fork up a lot of money for those sneakers I know she's OK and perfumes very specific perfumes, yeah, so. I'm gonna, I'm gonna let you go with your. Well, we have a gift guide that we're going to kind of chit chat about.

Speaker 1:

So I had a four-handed massage. It was one of the most amazing holistic massages. It's at the proper hotel in Santaanta monica. For those that are from la or if you're gonna visit la, I highly recommend you go there. It's the proper hotel. It's in santa monica. Properly do you and they will properly give you a four-handed massage. It is actually at the. How the hell do you pronounce that?

Speaker 2:

how, why, would I know sir?

Speaker 1:

sir, yeah, why would I know, surya no.

Speaker 2:

Surya, surya Surya.

Speaker 1:

Surya Surya Surya Spa. It's a beautiful spa. You have an amazing well, you can do the whole thing right. You could just do the forehand and massage, which is a little I mean it's a little pricey, but it's like a two hour forehand and massage. It's incredible. It's super, super, super. Like relaxing. They pour oil all over you, pour oil over your head. I mean it is insane. Then you can opt in for the full experience and then you have the four-handed massage. But also they do like this thing where, like, you take a picture of your tongue and you send it in. This is totally lesbian related, but this is not. Uh, you take a picture of your tongue, you send it in, and then the holistic doctor will give you kind of like a plan for your experience.

Speaker 1:

They also did that ion thing where you put your feet into the water and they put that machine and then it makes the water turn a certain color as it releases your toxins. That sounds so good. Oh my God Wait how much is this?

Speaker 2:

I want to go.

Speaker 1:

Yes, well, if you want to just do the four-handed massage.

Speaker 2:

No, I want like the feet stuff too.

Speaker 1:

The whole thing is pricey it's like $1,000 per person so can we get some?

Speaker 2:

sponsors, I want to go.

Speaker 1:

Soria, soria Hotel Spa want to go. So sorry, yeah, sorry, yeah, hotel spa, please sponsor us. Listen, we'll come, we'll be there. I think we need to figure out how to say that name first before we ask to be sponsored. Okay, we'll figure it out. But yeah, the spa is incredible. I definitely recommend that as your experience, if you got the money spend it on me, honey yeah, baby, all right.

Speaker 1:

So next one I got is a pair of socks that I'm obsessed with. I love them. They say motherfucker. On them. On the bottom it says mother loves you for all you motherfuckers out there.

Speaker 2:

Ava, I'm looking at you. Oh, my goodness.

Speaker 1:

I'm attacked. It's a great Christmas, little stuff?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it is, although my child can read.

Speaker 1:

So she'll read that. And second to last is for the cooks out there, because I like to cook, you like to cook. I feel like you're more forced into cooking, but I like it now, but now you enjoy it.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I feel like you're more forced into cooking, but I like it now. But now you enjoy it. Okay, I enjoy it. It actually like it relaxes you, right, and I like the feeling of them eating my food and then actually enjoying it. Yeah, I like serving them. That's the best. Yeah, I like that.

Speaker 1:

So my favorite thing is these pans. They're called the brand is Our Place and they're called the Always Pans my coworker.

Speaker 2:

I love them. His girlfriend is some sort of big shot at this company so she can get us a sponsorship. So she actually always has a bunch of pans laying around what, and I've told him before to bring them to me. Yes, our place.

Speaker 1:

Our place always pans. Those are my favorite go-tos. And another cute idea which Ava had was the aprons.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and you can get it embroidered. Embroidered. Priscilla and Brie got me one a couple years ago. I love it Right.

Speaker 1:

Super cute, idea super cute. And then, last but not least, I think, jewelry. You can never go wrong with giving your boo jewelry and I think the best thing to give I personally think to somebody who, regardless femme, mask them, stem, whatever you want to call them are these really awesome little signet rings with their initial or your initial. They can wear them on their pinky, like we do, or they can wear them on the ring finger. I think they're great. I think they're super cute.

Speaker 2:

If you can't afford gold, you can always do silver and yeah it doesn't matter those are my picks yeah, my sister said she her pick was a trip somewhere which I was, was like I mean Lily, where are you taking us? Yeah, lily should take us somewhere, because I feel like Lily's always out and about like trip-wise. Is she In the off season? I feel like she's always somewhere and I wish I could go with her. She invites me so I don't want anyone to think she doesn't, but I wish I could go to all the places she goes. I'm down.

Speaker 1:

You're down too, I'm down Wherever you want to take us, lily, lily we're trying to go with you.

Speaker 2:

We're trying to go with you. Maybe in she does the jet thing, the jet suite, whatever.

Speaker 1:

What is it called? I did I heard.

Speaker 2:

It's a lot of fun.

Speaker 1:

I loved it. It makes you feel so luxe. We need to feel luxe. It really does make you feel luxe, even though your flight is actually not. I mean, I know that they can be more expensive depending on when you get it, the time of the year or whatever, but ours was actually inexpensive. It was about the same price as getting, or might have been less than flying. Actually, like you know, a regular flight.

Speaker 2:

Lily. Lily got it to go to vegas. That that's where she went and I think she's done it a couple times. She suggested it to me, but when I looked at the price I was like, oh, it didn't make sense.

Speaker 1:

I think we were also going on a busy weekend but also you fly at a burbank. You don't fly at lax, which to me is worth every fucking penny.

Speaker 2:

Oh my God, burbank is a whole different experience.

Speaker 1:

If you are not from LA, or you are from LA and you're flying into LAX. If you don't have to fly into Burbank, yes, spend the extra couple hundred, spend the extra couple hundred. It is so worth it it's so worth it.

Speaker 2:

Lax is a disaster. It's a mess. I hate it, oh God, so boo, I got a pregunta for you.

Speaker 1:

Oh my life, your Duolingo is working.

Speaker 2:

Si se puede, si se puede, have you what's like one of your most memorable slash, funny, slash, omg Christmas gifts that you've received.

Speaker 1:

Ooh, well, I've received some pretty. This is going to make me sound very spoiled and privileged. You are, but I am, and I was, and you still, are I still am Very spoiled. I got some really big Christmas gifts. My Christmases used to be when I was younger used to be insane.

Speaker 2:

Like insane.

Speaker 1:

It was like my mom's favorite time of the year to go all crazy. But I would probably say I have a few and I don't know that I can pinpoint just one. Okay, give a few. So when I was younger, I got a motor like a moped. Oh, yeah, yeah yeah.

Speaker 1:

I was like 14 or 15 years old, I never had one we had gone to sam's club and I saw it and I was obsessed and my mom got it for me. So it was like a little moped okay, that was one of my favorite christmas gifts that I got, and I would probably say a dog, oh okay, was another, another big one. Even though it was a gift to my mom, it was still kind of like a gift to me.

Speaker 2:

Uh, that was Shakira, my mom's dog, my god, I remember coming over and she used to like bark at me and then you'd be. She was literally a shit. Yeah. And you used to like yes, you would like yell at her to stop barking at me and I. I'm like I don't know what to do.

Speaker 1:

So that was another big one. I'm trying to think what else I mean. There were just so many things that I can't even recollect. I mean like clothes and shoes, but like I also got like a basketball hoop and court thing which I was obsessed with when I was younger, I think.

Speaker 1:

I think for me, christmas when I was younger was insane yeah, it was one of my favorite things, and then I would get trips, um, to go see my you know, to go visit my family in chile, and it was. That was always great. Yeah, that's what I'm saying.

Speaker 1:

I can't, you can't really ask me that, oh I did next did Next week's episode, which happens to fall on Christmas Day. We're going to talk about all of those things and I'm going to share some pictures and stuff, not to make anybody feel bad, but just to kind of show our Christmas experiences and whatnot, because I think it'll be fun. Yeah, but what was yours?

Speaker 2:

When I was a kid I remember my mom, christmases were fun too, and one of the gifts Lily and I got was a Sega Genesis and we were so excited I remember just being so excited with that present. We had a Nintendo, you know, obviously the Sega, because we were like, yes. So a gift that I, to this day, always think is pretty interesting that I received from Fernanda is I love socks. Anyone that knows me knows that if you ask me for what I want for Christmas, they will be. They used to be Nike socks. Now I'm into stance socks. Oh God, I love them, I love them.

Speaker 2:

So this year, one of the years, I asked Fernanda for some socks and she got them for me. Were they Stance? No, they were Nike, because this was the year I liked Nike. I had just started doing Stance, I think maybe a year or two ago. Okay, so she gets me these Nike socks, right, the black ones and I open it and they look really small right, and I I don't think I have a big foot, but I also you have a really small foot.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, that's okay, that's okay I'm just saying yeah, I do, I have really big feet, you have really small feet.

Speaker 2:

I do so, but these were like small. They're like that right, like three inches right, and'm like. I looked at the packaging and I was like babe, these are like little kids. And she says with a straight face, she says no, babe, try them on, Try them on.

Speaker 2:

That's the Latin in her and I said They'll stretch. What the fuck does she think is about to happen? And I said I'm not trying these on. And I remember like getting mad I'm the fuck does she think is about to happen. And I said I'm not trying these on. And I remember like getting mad, I'm like I'm not trying these on. And she's like no, try them on ava. And then the ava like try them on ava. And I'm like this what do you think? You put them in water, they'll grow full size. I gave them to melanie. They fit her at that time.

Speaker 2:

At that time, how old was she? She's 13 now. I think she probably was like 10. Oh my God, yeah. So Fernanda has done that twice, fernie, okay. So now when I ask for gifts, I have to write size, full size. But she has gotten me a cool Christmas gift. Before she got me a pair of Kobe's that I really wanted, okay. And then, maybe like seven years ago, she got me one of my favorite pieces of jewelry that I have. It's a gold ring and I love it.

Speaker 1:

Do you think that people should give Christmas lists, or do you think people should just give gifts that they think the other person would like? I think, two ways.

Speaker 2:

The longer you're with someone, the harder it is to like wow them with a gift because, there's so many things in between and I think that's why, like, people resort to like money.

Speaker 2:

Or they'll like here's which money is Money's fine, right? Or they'll say, like, just tell me what you want and I'll get it for you. But Fernanda's family does that, so does mine and I, and I I don't know. A part of me feels like it takes the fun out of things Like I wish we could go to. I could go to a store and I could say oh well, you know, solange would like this, and then I get it for you.

Speaker 2:

But I feel like now we're just like I'm not going to use this, Like I'd rather you get me something I'm actually going to use, but then the surprise factor is gone. So I don't know.

Speaker 1:

I think personally, being somebody who's really picky with just everything in general, I personally think giving somebody what they want is far better than guessing and giving somebody what they may or may not like, yeah you're right and you're taking that risk and that chance.

Speaker 1:

But I also think throwing something in there every once in a while that could be a surprise of something that you saw that you thought they may like, is always great too. You know, especially if you're a good gift giver, like I know people. Especially if you're a good gift giver, like I know people, and I'm thinking about this person in particular. She gives the best gifts ever. I mean, she knows people through and through and she can give you the best gift ever without really even knowing you. And I'm just like how the hell do you do this, like how do you give such great gifts without really even knowing the person? And I think it's just a gift. I think some people are just really good at gifting and knowing what other people like. Well, you are that way.

Speaker 2:

You are and I'll tell you why. I tell you why For my wedding, what you did was like it. I don't know, I can't put into words how you made me feel with all the gifts that you gave me, but I was like this is so thoughtful and we never talked about these things. Like you just did it and maybe it is because you know me so well, but like if you put me in a store to get you gifts, I would be so intimidated to get you things, because I do know you're picky.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but you also know I mean we are both the same. You also know that I'm bougie, just like I know you're bougie. We like nice things, we do.

Speaker 2:

Well now I know that you like vibrators and harnesses, so it might be a little easier to get you a gift.

Speaker 1:

But I'm just saying like it's easier when you know the person but at the same time, like I always think you can't go wrong with you know getting certain things that like gift cards.

Speaker 2:

I feel like that's always a a good gift and I know people go oh a gift card, it's so impersonal.

Speaker 2:

But let me tell you gift cards and money they are great like gift cards like a restaurant, like someone might not want to cook dinner that night yeah, you give them an experience yeah, or experiences, yeah, that'd be cool too. Or no? I? I do think that some people are blessed with being really good gift givers, and others yeah, would you. Would you prefer a list from your loved ones, or would you? I mean, we, that's what we do, that's what you guys do.

Speaker 1:

We give each other Christmas lists and we put you know whether there's a budget or if there isn't a budget, we just say, all right, this is my list, these are the things that I want. Or sometimes we'll even say, you know, like my sister likes to say, oh, she has this thing with black zip up hoodies. Right, like she always goes, I want another black zip up hoodie. That's cute, that can be that boyfriend style, and you know what I like.

Speaker 1:

So now I'm on the hunt for, like the most perfect boyfriend style black hoodie that can be worn out you just google so like, but you know things like that, you know oh another one that I always I mean I didn't put it on the list, but it should be on the are the best sheets on the face of the planet. Oh yeah, I need those. I think they're incredible. I love them. I sleep hot, but these are more like temperature controlled. They're organic bamboo sheets. They're the best. They're from a company called Quince Quince Quince. You can find them online. I'll put a link wherever I can put a link and you guys can can take a look at them. But they're awesome. I love them. I swear by them. They're so comfortable. They're like butter, butter, baby. I need.

Speaker 2:

I need that link.

Speaker 1:

I need to check that out the vibrator, the harness and the butter sheets and you're set just send me the link for the butter sheets.

Speaker 2:

I don't. I don't need the rest of that. All right, so we're gonna move on.

Speaker 1:

We're gonna play a little game. We're going to move on. We're going to play a little game. We're going to start this new segment and we're going to call it boo or snooze. How this works is we ask some scenarios and you simply say yes, you're going to boo her or you're going to snooze her.

Speaker 2:

Boo or snooze. So would you boo or snooze her? She's perfect in every way, but she leaves her dirty laundry on the floor next to the dirty laundry basket. Are you booing or are you snoozing?

Speaker 1:

I mean, I'm super OCD and very neat and very clean, and I also feel like that would drive me crazy. But oh, there's a but. Everybody has a flaw and if that's the flaw I have to deal with, I will boo her.

Speaker 2:

You are a sucker.

Speaker 1:

I mean listen, if she's perfect in every way and that's her one flaw, I mean I'll pick up the fucking dirty laundry and put it in the basket. Fine, I'm just saying Fine, Alright, boo, she's an absolute goddess, but she never takes her makeup off before bed.

Speaker 2:

Not ever.

Speaker 1:

I'm snoozing. God, you know how much gunk you're going to have on your face. I'm snoozing Talk about aging quickly, that's skincare. Yeah, what's the meme you sent me today?

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, that was a good one, right? Uh-huh 20. After you do your skincare routine and then your boob wants to come and touch your face, like what are you doing? I have to grab Fernanda's hands like please, I just did my routine.

Speaker 1:

I just did my 30-step skincare routine.

Speaker 2:

Do not touch my face, please don't touch it, boo or snooze her. She's the hottest thing ever, but she doesn't know how to use any appliance in the house, like the dishwasher, the blender, the dryer, the washer none of it. Are you booing or are you snoozing?

Speaker 1:

I mean, do I have to teach her and she'll learn, or?

Speaker 2:

You can't teach an old dog new tricks. I don't have to snooze this, she's snoozing.

Speaker 1:

I'm snoozing you booing or snoozing, I'm snoozing, you booing or snoozing. She's got that seductive energy, but she always asks do I look okay in this Right before leaving the house? Every single time.

Speaker 2:

I'm booing her.

Speaker 1:

Okay, maybe that one was stupid.

Speaker 2:

Because Fernanda does that shit. I'm booing her.

Speaker 1:

Okay, hold on, let me find another one. Okay, are you booing or snoozing? She's perfect in every way, but she wears socks in the shower.

Speaker 2:

No, I'm snoozing. No, mami, I swear.

Speaker 1:

She has a thing with feet. She can't show you her feet.

Speaker 2:

Nah, dog, we're snoozing, we are snoozing, and hell no, hell no.

Speaker 1:

She has like socks for the shower.

Speaker 2:

No, absolutely not, Absolutely no. She has like socks for the shower. No, absolutely not, absolutely no Booing or snoozing. Okay, all right, she's a 10 out of 10. Okay, but she bites her nails and the skin around her nails and she refuses to get a manicure.

Speaker 1:

A snooze. I cannot, cannot, I cannot. I have like this thing with people who bite their nails, like it's one thing if you are nervous every once in a while and you're you pick at your nail or whatever. It's another thing if you gnaw your nails all the way down to where all you have are like little nubs.

Speaker 2:

What if she tells you that you make her nervous?

Speaker 1:

No, no, no, I have a friend. You know who you are.

Speaker 2:

Dang, she's calling you out.

Speaker 1:

And she eats her nails like literally chews them down, and it's been a fight I've had with her forever, so put oh, she's tried everything, everything. Then she ends up getting used to that taste. Oh geez, louise, and I'm always like you, can't bite your nails like that. She's like I can't help it.

Speaker 2:

What if she went and got a manicure?

Speaker 1:

I don't think that matters. No, I mean, I know girls that are like that. They keep their nails manicured so that they don't bite them. But no, absolutely no, that is a snooze, snoozing, snoozing. She is majestic in every way but, majestic and very seductive. All right, all right, but she names every single part of your body with a cute little nickname Like Twinkle Nipples. Oh no, no, no, no and no, no While you're having sex.

Speaker 2:

No, no, bye. There's the door right there. No, I don't need a nickname for everything. Cut it out. Snoozing, snooze, snooze button.

Speaker 1:

We need to get a snooze button.

Speaker 2:

She's majestic in every way, but every time you see her, her lips are cracked, bleeding.

Speaker 1:

Oh.

Speaker 2:

Cracked.

Speaker 1:

Like she doesn't believe in chapstick.

Speaker 2:

She does. But her lips are so big that, like chapstick, they're overly injected. Yes, snooze, oh shit, you wouldn't even like help her. No, maybe exfoliate her lips. You said there's no helping her. You're right. You know what. You are right.
