Lightning Round: Advent Calendars, Slop Bowls & Mariah’s $60M Holiday Reign | Fast Five Shorts

Let's go to the lightning round.

Question number one.

Advent calendars are the hot trend from specialty retailers this holiday.

Everyone from skims to Ocni fishing lures to Bridgman's ice cream are offering them to customers.

What brand would you like to have an advent calendar from?

Oh, and this.

This just reminds me that I missed the Nike drop today.

The PSG Jordans.

I didn't get those today.

Darn it.

Oh, man.

For me, I want 28 days of Nikes.

And I mean, what.

Hell of an expensive calendar, but.

But I would love that.

That'd be.

I mean, the skims calendar.

I think the skims calendar is, like, in the three hundreds or something.

It's like one pair of underwear per day or something.

I mean, there's no price limit on these advent calendars, Chris.

So I think if you really wanted your Nike one, it's possible.

Yeah, I guess you could build them to demand, too.

All right, Bloomberg reported this week that people are tiring of quote slop bowls, AKA those pick your own ingredients, pile the top rice or greens for lunch, and instead are opting more for sandwiches.

I'm curious.

And are you two getting put off by the prices?

Because I know you are quite the salad fan and the slop bowl fan.

Honestly, whenever we travel.

Oh, I still love it all the time.

I mean, the prices are getting to be ridiculous.

But that's.

That's not a reason.

I still think I'm investing in putting the best quality food in my body.

And you can change all the ingredients.

Like, I don't know.

You need the roughage, too, right?

And you need the roughage.

Right.

Especially when you're traveling.

Especially when you're traveling.

All right, Chris, number three, White House decorators used 120 pounds of gingerbread as part of its holiday decor this season.

Where does gingerbread rank in your order of holiday cookies?

Oh, man.

£120.

That's insane.

I know.

God, it's like an entire person of gingerbread.

Anyway, I'd say gingerbread is pretty high for me, I think.

But I think if I was to do a rank order, like my top three, I'd go the Mexican tea cookie, because that's big.

Where I grew up in Arizona.

And then I'd go butter cookies with some green and red spritzing.

And then I'd go gingerbread.

Yeah.

Okay.

What's a.

What is a Mexican tea cookie?

Like, what is.

Oh, you got to look it up.

You got to look it up.

It's like a. I don't even know how to explain it.

It's good, though.

It's good.

It's like a.

Is that like the tea cake?

Like the balls, the shortbread balls wrapped in powdered sugar?

Oh, I thought that was a Russian delicacy.

We always called them a Russian tea cake.

Oh, I have no idea.

I don't know.

We'll have to do some research.

But I looked it up and I made sure I was, like, thinking the right thing.

So I don't know if I explained the ingredients right, though.

I have no idea, because I'm not Mr. Walton Gourmet.

All right, last one.

Mariah Carey's 1994 All I Want for Christmas is you anthem is the undisputed queen of holiday earnings.

Did you know that according to the Economist, the song has generated more than $60 million in royalties thus far?

Where does the song, however, rank on your holiday playlist?

You're the.

You're the playlist.

It's.

It's top three for sure.

I mean, really, it's probably my number one.

I mean, it gets you that drop hits and you're like, oh, yeah, it brings me back.

Was one of my first CDs that I ever got back in the 80s, early 90s, I guess.

But, oh, still, I.

If I could still have that CD in my possession, I absolutely would.

And I played every holiday.

Still play it on Spotify, Ev.

Every year, as many times as possible.

I love it.

You'd go number one?

You'd go number one?

Sure, yes.

I think everybody knows that song.

And it's so great.

It's like, wow.

Hits that high note.

I mean, come on, Mariah.

All right, yeah.

See, I'd go.

I'd go like George Michael.

I'd go Kylie Minogue.

I might even go a little Bing Crosby in there, you know, I don't know.

You go number one.

Interesting.

I didn't expect you to see that at all.

It's fun.

It's a great song.

I love it.

Keep going.

I hope Mariah is set for life.

It sounds like she is with $60 million in royalties, but sounds like it's.

One hell of an annuity for her.

My God.

All right.
