<v Speaker 1>Jare Katie and josh One.

<v Speaker 2>So this email came in a little bit ago, and

<v Speaker 2>it was in regards to something that we did really

<v Speaker 2>early this morning, called the ho off, where we had

<v Speaker 2>a bunch of kids call in and give us their

<v Speaker 2>best Santa Claus impression. And before we let them do it,

<v Speaker 2>I asked them, you know, what are you asking for

<v Speaker 2>for Christmas? And then they told us.

<v Speaker 3>Well.

<v Speaker 2>That spurred an email from Sammy who wrote in and said, hey, guys,

<v Speaker 2>I just heard your Santa contest.

<v Speaker 4>Uh.

<v Speaker 2>It got me thinking about the toys I never got

<v Speaker 2>for Christmas.

<v Speaker 5>Uh.

<v Speaker 2>For me, it was a furbie. My parents refused to

<v Speaker 2>buy one because they said they were creepy and annoying.

<v Speaker 2>Not wrong, and it would probably start talking in the

<v Speaker 2>middle of the night and summon something from the underworld,

<v Speaker 2>said my dad. That's pretty pretty spot.

<v Speaker 6>On it Again, not wrong, not wrong, she says.

<v Speaker 2>Cut to me, now, an adult with an adult money

<v Speaker 2>and zero adult supervision, I'm actually thinking about going online

<v Speaker 2>and buying one, just to heal my inner child. So

<v Speaker 2>she goes, I'm curious, what toy did you guys never

<v Speaker 2>get growing up? Was it a total heartbreak? Was it

<v Speaker 2>a Barbie Dreamhouse and Nintendo one of those motorized jeeps

<v Speaker 2>that only the rich kids had. Josh, uh, help me

<v Speaker 2>feel better. Tell me I wasn't the only one that

<v Speaker 2>was a deprived child. You guys are the best clowns

<v Speaker 2>on the radio, and that's from Sammy. So well, you're

<v Speaker 2>gonna open up the phone lines if you guys want

<v Speaker 2>to sound off about this. The toys, the gifts that

<v Speaker 2>you never got when you were a kiddo and you

<v Speaker 2>really really wanted them, but mom, dad, Sannah, they never

<v Speaker 2>got them for you. Three O three six nine one

<v Speaker 2>one mix three O three six nine one sixteen forty nine.

<v Speaker 2>Phone lines are wide open if you guys want to

<v Speaker 2>sound off on this, Josh, you start, what did you

<v Speaker 2>never get? I mean it was the typical.

<v Speaker 4>I wanted the really really expensive Star Wars legos, and

<v Speaker 4>my parents were like, we have five kids, if you

<v Speaker 4>get that, we have to get that for everybody. And

<v Speaker 4>it was shelling out multiple, multiple hundreds of dollars for that,

<v Speaker 4>and they were like, we just don't want to do that,

<v Speaker 4>and I was. It started in like early twenty nineteen.

<v Speaker 4>I was like, I got a little bit of adult

<v Speaker 4>money now, and I went out and I was like,

<v Speaker 4>I bought one little thing from Star Wars legos and

<v Speaker 4>it like became an addiction. I was like, I want this.

<v Speaker 4>It was awesome, It was so fun and I I

<v Speaker 4>just remember going back. There was a Christmas era a

<v Speaker 4>set during Christmas that I was like, can anybody get

<v Speaker 4>this for me? And it was this Star Wars Millennium

<v Speaker 4>Falcon and I that was the first one I bought

<v Speaker 4>because it was it goes all the way back to

<v Speaker 4>being a kid. It was the first one I bought

<v Speaker 4>when I was an adult, and it brought me so much.

<v Speaker 2>Joy that it started like finally got it.

<v Speaker 4>I remember like vividly building it. I was like, this

<v Speaker 4>is the coolest thing ever it was. I finally got

<v Speaker 4>And in their defense that one was like it was

<v Speaker 4>like nine hundred dollars in their defense.

<v Speaker 2>Yet you didn't get it. I know, was like, I

<v Speaker 2>don't think this Christmas phone line's a ring in three

<v Speaker 2>three six nine one one mix three oh three six

<v Speaker 2>nine one sixteen forty nine. What was the gift that

<v Speaker 2>you didn't get growing up as a kid, Oh, Katie,

<v Speaker 2>what's yours?

<v Speaker 6>Uh?

<v Speaker 7>Mine has to do with food obviously, And I don't

<v Speaker 7>know if this like spurred my obsession with food, but

<v Speaker 7>I will never forget the easy bake ovens back in

<v Speaker 7>the day, and I wanted one so bad, and like

<v Speaker 7>I asked my parents multiple times for easy bake ovens

<v Speaker 7>and they always like laughed at it, like that's the

<v Speaker 7>stupidest toy. Why would I get you a small oven

<v Speaker 7>when we have one in the house. So what they

<v Speaker 7>did instead was I got for Christmas a cookbook, a

<v Speaker 7>cooking hat, and an apron I'm not kidding. And my

<v Speaker 7>mom was like, I'm gonna let you help me bake

<v Speaker 7>all the Christmas stuff this year, and this will be

<v Speaker 7>your Christmas present.

<v Speaker 6>I will teach you how to bake if you want.

<v Speaker 6>I was so mad about it.

<v Speaker 7>I was like, like I want the little baby.

<v Speaker 6>Cake pants right, like it has to be baby.

<v Speaker 2>I want to cook with that lab book.

<v Speaker 6>I will never.

<v Speaker 7>Forget that Christmas how my mom tried to make such

<v Speaker 7>a big deal about all the stuff she baked and

<v Speaker 7>how I helped.

<v Speaker 6>You know, Katie did this with her Christmas present.

<v Speaker 7>We used it, and I was so mad at everyone

<v Speaker 7>who came up to me and said this is really

<v Speaker 7>good fudge.

<v Speaker 6>I'm like, you can take that fudge and.

<v Speaker 2>You can shove it.

<v Speaker 7>I was so mad. I have not went out and

<v Speaker 7>bought the Easy Bake Oven. I might have to though,

<v Speaker 7>now that we're doing this, like maybe they're gonna cure

<v Speaker 7>part of my child.

<v Speaker 2>You could you totally again, you're grown up now, you

<v Speaker 2>can do whatever you want.

<v Speaker 6>Little baby Katie is gonna make her feel way better.

<v Speaker 2>I remember when they rebranded the Easy Bake Oven for boys,

<v Speaker 2>and it was like this, uh it was like a

<v Speaker 2>bug kit or something where you it was the Easy

<v Speaker 2>Bake Oven, but they changed it to like blue and green,

<v Speaker 2>and they came with these little trays that you could

<v Speaker 2>make these rubber bugs with. You put the liquid in

<v Speaker 2>the molds and everything and you slid it in and

<v Speaker 2>then you'd pull it out and you'd have these like

<v Speaker 2>rubber spiders and stuff. And they rebranded it for boys

<v Speaker 2>to eat them. I was no, you couldn't eat them.

<v Speaker 2>But I was never allowed to have that either, because

<v Speaker 2>I think it was some sort of fire hazard. Yeah,

<v Speaker 2>growing up with the dad that was the fire chief,

<v Speaker 2>it was like we weren't allowed to have any of

<v Speaker 2>that kind of stuff. Phone lines are ringing three O

<v Speaker 2>three six one sixteen forty nine. What did you not

<v Speaker 2>get as a gift growing up and you really really

<v Speaker 2>wanted it? Here's Holly, perfect name for this. Hi Holly, Hello, hellos.

<v Speaker 2>What was the gift? What was the toy?

<v Speaker 8>It was actually a furbie as well, And so for

<v Speaker 8>my children, I decided to buy them a Furbeams and

<v Speaker 8>I have to say their dad was right. Those things

<v Speaker 8>are from the devil. My kids kept playing them in

<v Speaker 8>their closet, like with like pillowcases over their heads to

<v Speaker 8>try to keep them from talking, because they would just

<v Speaker 8>talk randomly at the night. Both my kids ended up

<v Speaker 8>being horribly terrified of them.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

<v Speaker 2>My sister had one growing up, and you'd hear it

<v Speaker 2>in the middle of night.

<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, you know, Yeah, they just have a mind

<v Speaker 8>of their own. I think my parents were right not

<v Speaker 8>getting me that.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, you got to take a bath to them. You

<v Speaker 2>got to you gotta beat them down, Holly especial.

<v Speaker 7>That was before AI, when we were a little more

<v Speaker 7>on guard too, Like now it's like a little another

<v Speaker 11>I'm like, I'll wear them with everything.

<v Speaker 3>Shut up.

<v Speaker 9>Oh my gosh.

<v Speaker 3>The funny story. I overcompensated with my oldest because we

<v Speaker 3>watched The Wizard of Oz all the time because I

<v Speaker 3>brainwashed her, and then she wanted to be Dorothy for

<v Speaker 3>Halloween and then that's all she wore was her Dorothy

<v Speaker 3>dress and her ruby red slippers, like I could not

<v Speaker 3>get her to wear anything else and it so it

<v Speaker 3>was so funny. Like I even kept like her shoes

<v Speaker 1>week later, me and all the neighborhood kids were standing

<v Speaker 1>on the curb and admiring my rail, and we did

<v Speaker 1>abide by the law. The law was you could have

<v Speaker 1>the rail on the street as long as it wasn't

<v Speaker 1>further than four feet from the curb. But one of

<v Speaker 1>the neighbors up the street and her mini van plowed

<v Speaker 1>into my rail and continued to push it about thirty

<v Speaker 1>yards up the street.

<v Speaker 2>Rail.

<v Speaker 1>It was ruined. She said she did it because she

<v Speaker 1>was trying to protect us.

<v Speaker 2>She did, she didn't even as she did it on purpose.

<v Speaker 2>You had a crazy car, crazy Karen with a minivan

<v Speaker 2>right there.

<v Speaker 1>My stepdad confronted her and said, oh, it's fine, you

<v Speaker 1>don't need to replace it, And my heart was broken.

<v Speaker 2>Well, were you like any normal kid? And you went

<v Speaker 2>back and slashed retires.

<v Speaker 1>But she did and hail the front of her car.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, at least there was some day.

<v Speaker 6>It does make us feel better. Thanks.
