Real friends. Real fun. This is the Nat and Drew Show podcast. Nat and Drew Show, let's go. It is porch pirate season. Assistant producer Sammy actually has some crazy footage. It's your mom. It's your mom's house, right? Yep. She was a victim. She was a victim. It's an expose. We have the porch pirate on camera. Yes.

Kind of. Mostly they're back because... Okay, so explain the scenario here. Yeah. So essentially, my mom got a call from her neighbor yesterday. She was out with me. We were having ramen. And she was like, listen, I saw somebody steal a package from your porch. And I went to go knock on your door and you weren't there, obviously. But I saw them like running from your house with a package. So she checks the camera and...

It's basically just this person and we don't see the approach because right before there's like a little glitch that like made it kind of scrambled. So we think there may have been a scrambler involved. But yeah, so essentially it captures this person coming up and like just like ducking out of the camera's view and taking right off across the lawn.

And I don't know, you sent us a message yesterday before we saw the video. And I don't know why I thought this, but I assumed it was going to be a dude. It's very sexist of me. Yeah. It's not. It's a woman.

And there might have been a guy waiting for her on the sidewalk. Yeah, there was a team, I think. You can see it on our Instagram account, The Nat and Drew Show, also on Move's Instagram account. You can see it there. And it's just like... And it's a weird thing. You hear about it. And I have not had that happen to me yet. But actually, and then even seeing it, I think if you have a ring camera or some sort of doorbell cam, it does feel... The violation...

It's much more front and center. Yeah. Like, I could see how your mom would feel so violated. The boldness, it's so brazen. Somebody just in broad daylight just walking up and taking stuff off your porch. Tracy responded to the video that you posted on Instagram, said it happened to us last night in White Rock, too. Yeah. Like, with the... Look, people for the last four or five years have been having...

so many packages delivered to their house, but it's Christmas time. This has to be, regardless of whether Canada Post is on strike, this has to be the busiest time of year for package delivery. And so unfortunately, that just means that the porch pirates are out in force. Is there anything, do you, does anybody have any like kind of

or unofficial. It sounds like your mom does, Sammy, but like a neighborhood watch group, like people who keep an eye on your porch because our neighbors across the street and us, we watch for each other's

I love that. We'll text each other sometimes and say, hey, just got a notification that something arrived. We're away. Da da da. Can you grab it? That kind of thing. So we will watch each other's package delivery to try to cut down on that. That's so great. Yeah, I think it really does take a community to kind of look out for each other these days. Okay, so my friend has either the ring or the nest or whatever, and she can yell at

Yes. Like, that's a thing, right? You can yell out at the person outside? Do you think they're going to go, oh my gosh, I'm sorry. Yes. Yes. I really, I'm going to rethink this decision. I don't think it's going to do anything. I think she did. It's my girlfriend, Grace, and I think she was like, I see you. What did they do? I see you. I think they did.

With the package? Well, I don't know. Better get out of here. I think that's the thing. I think if they've got it in hand, they're probably taking it in hand. Damn. Because they're going to, they're probably going to run. Well, I don't know. Does a porch pirate saunter to make themselves look normal? That's what it seemed like in this particular area. She moved a little fast. She was moving.

but like not really. Yeah, they were boogieing. Yeah, but like it wasn't like, oh, I've committed a crime. Yeah, that looks suspicious. But haven't we also heard of people that have set up booby traps for porch pirates? That's my favorite. I have actually not heard of that. Yeah, where people will put in like kitty litter and stuff and like leave it if they've been, yeah, and they'll leave it on their porch. Or glitter. Yeah, that explodes all over them. Oh, I love that. It's the best. I love a good revenge story on a porch pirate. Yeah.

Now, there's a bit of a problem if you've put, like, cat poop on your front porch and, like, nobody's picking it up. The Matt and Drew Show podcast. Talking about porch pirates this morning. I actually just did a search about what percentage of porch pirates are ever caught. And quick Google search, 10 to 20%.

Fast majority never get caught. Sammy's mom was the victim of a porch pirate yesterday, and we have the exclusive footage. It will be on the news later tonight. All the networks are calling to try to get their hands on this footage. You can't have it. You can't have it. Go to our Instagram.

Instagram account. That's where you get it. Sammy, tell us again what happened. Yeah, so yesterday she was the victim of a porch pirate. And it was right in the middle of the day too. Just after school let out. She's right down the street from a school. So people on the street walking around. She gets a phone call from her neighbor saying that she saw somebody

grab a package from her porch and take off. It's the thing. It's so brazen when it happens in broad daylight, but it's the nature of the crime. That's when most packages are being delivered. That's when they're out there and a lot of people are away from work. And that means the pirates are out. Now, obviously, pirates are looking for things that are very expensive. What was in your mom's package? It was a sweatshirt. Okay. So...

Yeah. Thankfully, it wasn't more because definitely, like, that's how she's getting our Christmas presents delivered, right? Well, I guess you were not getting a Christmas present. Well, yeah. Texter here says part of the trouble here is that some delivery people do not try to hide the parcels at a home. They leave them right in the middle of the driveway. Yeah. And don't put them up close enough for... I don't know how...

But, like, unless you've left specific instructions for your delivery person, I don't know whether you want them to truly play hide-and-seek with your parcels and then you've got to find them. Yeah.

So, like, I get that there should be, you know, you don't want them sitting literally in the middle of your driveway, but you don't want them hiding, hiding them on your liner. We got a message here. You didn't leave your name, 778. You say that last Christmas we were expecting two deliveries, both joke gifts, boob golf tees, and pirate pants for a costume for...

And they both got stolen. And that's the thing. Sometimes you, like, think of the misses that the porch pirates wind up with, right? You know, like you're looking for the expensive stuff like you're talking about. The amount of crap that they wind up with. Andrea, what was it for you? Well, I get a subscription of various things delivered to my place. And one of them was those Restor-A-Lox fiber gummies.

And I knew it came, and then I went and looked, and I couldn't find it. And other people around have said that they lost things too, and I guess they just went along and took the package not knowing what it was. They didn't know it was Restor-A-Lax gummies inside. No. They didn't find that out until they got home. Oh, what a night they had. Well...

Who knows? Maybe it helped them. Oh, well, that's a very understanding way to look at it. That's so nice. That's very kind of you, Andrea. So, yes, porch pirates wind up with some jewelry now and again, and they also wind up with booby T-shirts and Restore-A-Lax. That feels a little bit like justice.

A wild lotto story is developing in California. What? I knew I would get your attention, Nat. What? A wild lotto story in California. Lawsuits have been filed. It's a big deal. Okay. You may have heard there was a $395 million lotto jackpot.

Two winning tickets, half was claimed, one ticket was claimed, the other expired. Expired over the weekend, I believe it was, where the ticket went unclaimed. The other $197 million. But now a lawsuit has been filed by the person who said they had the other ticket.

And it's the person who already claimed the other $197 million. What? The guy said he had two tickets. Two tickets. He plays the same numbers, has played the same numbers for 30 years.

He just lost the other tickets. Why would he have two tickets with the same numbers? These are good questions. But he said whether he forgot, because he hasn't spoken publicly yet, just the lawsuit has been filed, trying to get his hands on the other half of the money.

I'm just thinking of possibilities. Maybe he bought a ticket, forgot that he had bought the ticket, bought a second ticket like a few days later. But the thing that does kind of work in his favor, because you would think on the surface this is ridiculous, you have $197 million, don't make up a frivolous lawsuit to try to get your hands on another $200 million. The thing that kind of works in his favor a little bit

is that both tickets were sold at the same random gas station in Encino, California. Oh. Where he bought the other tickets.

Because he's claimed the prize and it was verified. Both tickets sold at the same place. They haven't clarified whether they were purchased the same day, but they were purchased at the exact same place. Okay, so that, I mean, it does sound that, like, he does have a case, but at the same time, if you forgot...

That is on you. Like, you can't say, well, I had it. Like, the thing is, is you have, they give you a lot of time to claim it. A lot of time. And then you have one and you're like, excellent. Yeah. So that's unfortunate. Yeah.

It's unfortunate, but it's your mistake. It's not, as I see it, like it's not the state lottery's mistake or whatever. It's your mistake. I mean, obviously there's a case, but... There's lots of questions. Why'd you wait so late to come forward with this? Why'd you wait so late to file your lawsuit? Why did you wait six months to claim the first jackpot, which is what he did? You know, like there's a lot of time and questions to be answered, but it is also super weird that...

that two tickets would be sold at the exact same random gas station. Yeah, but I don't think that if that... If all it is is that he literally forgot that he actually had another ticket with the same number, I don't think he gets the money. Like, I don't know, you know, you just didn't hand it in in time. I think if you... I think, well, yeah. He bought it, but, like, it's... Like, you know, I could have...

What about my $20 that I forgot to claim like a year ago and it expired? Do I get to go back to Lotto Max and go, well, listen, I forgot? Well, no, because I've tried. Seriously. And they say no. It was in a birthday card I didn't know. No, exactly. Found it in my junk drawer a few years later. You know what? It's too bad. And it sucks because it's $197 million. But guess what? You also already have $197 million. So this is a tough lesson. But suck it up.

Catch the Nat and Drew Show live weekdays 530 to 10 on Move 1035. If you're just joining us, we're talking about the situation that somebody posted on Reddit. Essentially, they had a window seat. A family comes on. They've got an aisle, aisle, and a window. And a young girl who's about six years old who freaks out when she finds out that

She doesn't have the window. So not a baby, a child that's around the age of six. And after about 10 minutes of freaking out, father reaches across and says to the person in the window, hey, would you mind switching? And the person's like, oh, you know what, I'm really sorry, but no.

No. And then the person took to Reddit to say, hey, like, you know, was this was I too harsh? And guess what? Ninety nine percent of you say no. No, you weren't too harsh. Gina, you've got some inside perspective here. What are your thoughts? So I do work for the airlines and I see this all the time. There's a lot of things that you guys have already touched upon. And that is if a person has paid for the for the seat, we know that it's not cheap.

And so I think that that is their seat. We always do put parents together with their child. We never separate them. So it's not like she's not sitting with a parent. She is. It's just that she's not getting what she wants. And that is a window seat. Do you feel, because you work for an airline, do you feel that you see a lot of people asking for changes to other passengers? Absolutely.

Absolutely. It's on the flights. And people start moving seats, and you're not supposed to do that until we're in flight. That's a good reminder. You actually should not be making offers to other passengers before the flight is even underway. Something else. Gina, thank you. Thank you for the call. I like this from Daryl. He said, you tell the parents...

I paid an extra $75 to pre-select the window seat, so if you want to flip me $75, then I'll gladly slide over. So funny. Ken has a similar thought, but Ken wanted not just what he paid for the seat, he wanted some extra money to make it worth his while. A premium. A buyer's premium on that window seat.

Somebody here also texted 103535. I'm a parent and I would never make or even ask somebody to change seats for my kid. We mentioned this earlier on in the show about how that really is an uncomfortable, that puts the stranger in a very uncomfortable position. You know, like I get maybe you feel desperate at the moment and maybe you're thinking I just need to quiet my kid down because you're embarrassed.

by how much they're making a racket, but it is very uncomfortable for the stranger. Joanna, what would you do? Are you giving up your seat? So I wouldn't have given up my seat because one thing that people forget is that in Canada, and it's becoming a thing in the U.S. too, but in Canada, the airlines legally have to seat, and it has to be free of charge, parents with their children. So children under the age of 12 have to be seated with their parents at no charge, and it's up to the airline to assign those seats.

There are certain rules surrounding that. But when it's a family of three, my guess is that they assume that they would get a window middle aisle. And they didn't get that, and then they're bitter. Now, you always have the option to pay to choose your seats like anybody else and forego the free family seating, but they didn't do that. So, no, you can't have my window seats.

Oh, so you think this family knew, they just assumed when they didn't get what they wanted. What you're saying, Joanna, is that they're all in on it. They're all in on it together. The mom, the dad, the six-year-old.

I am outraged. I wasn't outraged before and I'm outraged. Collusion. Collusion has happened. It wasn't even a real tantrum. That kid staged it. You're right, Aaron. I represent. Oh my God. Joanna, thanks for the hot take. Yeah, I love it. You're very welcome. You're making us think of this in entirely new ways, Joanna. This is the Nat Drew Show podcast. All right.

All right. Time for Would You Rather, the party game we play on Wednesday mornings because Wednesdays always feel like a party. Do they? That's good. Yeah. All right. So would you rather, guys, go Christmas caroling for five hours or stare at a wall for five hours? I'll go caroling. Thank you. Obviously. Yeah. Is that obvious?

Staring at a wall for five hours, at least while you're caroling. You've got to do it, though. You've got to be in it. You can't just be like... Yeah, but you're out. You're with friends. You're socializing. There's fellowship. There's good times. There's some laughs. So staring there for five hours. I was at a place last year. I was at like a

pub in Ontario visiting some friends and while we were at the pub these carolers came in and you could see that some were really into it and there's some that weren't and there was a couple that I watched sneak off and get a shot just to fortify themselves. Oh,

So I think you have the people that really are into it and the people that are not. And then you have the audience that some are also not into it. And also this pub was not into it. So it was very awkward. Like people were polite and

But it really was. I'm scarred. I would rather stare at a wall. Do you know what I'm not into doing? What? Staring at a wall for five hours. Right. Waste of time. 67%, according to our Instagram poll, would rather go caroling. Yeah. So two-thirds would rather do something than sit at a wall blankly for half a day. But listen.

There's a third of us that are like, you know what? We know what the real deal is with caroling. What you got next? Would you rather have everything taste like candy canes? Everything you eat. Everything you eat has to taste like candy canes or everything you eat has to taste like gravy.

Why couldn't you have gone stuffing? No. Gravy. I'm not a big gravy guy. I'm not a big candy cane guy either because I don't like peppermint. Oh, my God. I'm not. Can I get a... No. No. Okay. No adjustments. Candy cane or gravy? Candy cane or... I guess I'm going grape.

I don't know. This is a miserable life I've got staring at me here. Oh, I love this. This is easy. Is it, Erin, for you? What is it? Candy cane. Okay. Come on. But you like peppermint. And I love candy canes and I love thinking about Christmas and I would love to just eat Christmas all day long. Wow. Okay. I would, too. Just not smothering everything in gravy. Mm-hmm.

And I do like some of the other varieties of candy canes, like the orange ones or cherry ones. I'm just not a big peppermint fan. I guess I'll go gravy. Gross. I'm going gravy, too. I'll just go with a mushroom gravy because I'm veggie, but I'm going gravy because candy canes are disgusting. So what do the people say? 55% would rather go candy canes. Aaron's still in the majority, but it's not as overwhelming as the five hours of caroling. Well, let's think about breath.

There is that. No, you've got to be conscious of that. Thank you. You've got to be conscious. You can always be fresh. People love mushroom breath. That's all you've ever got is that dungy, mungy, doo-doo breath. That's right. I'm fine with it. I'm going to stare at a wall for five hours. With mushroom breath. Merry Christmas. Real friends. Real. This is the Nat and Drew Show podcast. Podcast.

Tis the season for Christmas parties and tis the season for HR experts to remind us what not to do at office Christmas parties. We don't need your reminders. We're going to do what we're going to do. Melissa Stone, an HR consultant for over 20 years, has her list of the top five worst things you can do at an office.

Okay, so out of those five, how many have you guys done in previous years of the five? Is it safe to say three?

Yeah, three. Probably three. I've definitely done the first three. One, three, and five are probably the rules that I broke. I've done them all. Did you post something online once?

Well, I think this is the thing. When I was at Christmas parties, there was no such thing. That's the thing. Right? So there was no consent. Yeah. Like you would show pictures later. Gotcha. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. I hear you. This is the thing that makes me laugh about this list and these reminders is

is that I feel there are fewer quote-unquote old-school Christmas parties at the office now than there have ever been. And it's like, who still needs the reminder to not get obliterated at the office Christmas party?

Like in 20, where, who's even having, I'm like, I'm sure they do. Like I know that some companies or lots of companies do have big parties. I just think. Because that's how they show their employees that they care about them. Because they allow them to get obliterated on a Saturday night in December. That's right, on them. Yeah. Yeah. Uh-huh.

What's your point? I don't know whether you're picking up on in between the lines with Aaron, but we don't have those big, big types of parties. They do several small events throughout the season. There's a lunch a little later on today. Yeah, those are so sweet. Yeah. It's the festive lunch. It's on the fifth floor at 1230 today. Yeah, you got an invitation. I had no idea. And those are really sweet and thoughtful, and I love them, but I want to get obliterated.

You are the old school. I would actually say that, you know, because we do Christmas crashers every year where we will go and crash other people's parties. Coming up this weekend. Part of the reason is because we don't have a big...

That's right. We want to crash your party. But we have still seen those parties, because they're not just private ones. They're company parties, too. And maybe HR has told all those people, don't be inappropriate. Don't get obliterated. But we know when we go to those parties later, we have walked into some things. Exactly.

Fair enough. The one that comes to mind when I first think of the things that we've seen on Christmas Crashers, it was one of the early years. It's probably at least 10 years ago because we've been doing Christmas crashes for a while.

And I remember, I think this was the thing that made us stop arriving at parties on the other side of 1130. Like, just nothing good happens after midnight. But I just remember walking into one hotel ballroom and there were two people up, you know, really, really enjoying themselves without mistletoe above their head. I don't know how descriptive I can get, but it was like they were really into each other. I feel like I already missed that. They were really, really into each other.

Jamie Foxx talking about his medical emergency from last year. It's in a brand new Netflix special.

That just dropped. It landed him in hospital last year. The special is called What Had Happened Was, and what had happened was he had a stroke while filming a movie. He said on the morning of April 11th, he had a really bad headache, and before he could even get to an aspirin, well, we'll let him tell the rest. So I asked my boy, I said, listen, I need an aspirin. Before I could get the aspirin, I went out. I don't, uh...

I don't remember 20 days. He was in a wheelchair for a bit after he came out of that 20-day coma event. Lots of work, lots of therapy, lots of great care. He is doing better now. But there were a lot of rumors. I don't know whether you remember or not, but there were a lot of rumors about a year and a half ago about what was wrong with what had happened.

to Jamie Foxx. Stroke was one of the things that was rumored, but there were a lot of people trying to actively shoot that down, possibly to just protect his privacy until he was ready to share the details, which he is now. There were also rumors that he was poisoned.

weird. There was rumors that it was the COVID vaccine, of course. There always have been. Anything happens over like 30 years later, it was the COVID vaccine. I don't know whether you know this, but nobody ever used to have heart attacks or strokes before. You didn't know? Nobody ever did. But he did say actually his daughter was one of the people that he credits with saving his life, that she was like, she acted really really quickly and just helped save him, where he makes the joke where his friends were a little bit useless. I think some of the

I think sometimes you get into a panic mode, right? Yeah. Like when people like, you know, somebody wants, something's happening and you don't really know what to do. Like, ah, ah. Like, don't turn to boys in a crisis. It is part stand-up, it is part observational humor and just sharing the details of his last year and a half. It's getting great reviews. Might be a good watch this weekend. Google is out with the top entertainment searches of 2024. Your top movies. Number three, It Ends With Us.

That was the Blake Lively movie. Number two, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice. And the number one movie that was searched for is this one. Hello, I'm anxiety. Inside Out 2. With TV. Number three, Baby Reindeer. Everybody was talking about Baby Reindeer. Number two, which recently came out, Quiet on Set, The Dark Side of Kids TV. And number one for TV. For the last three years, Griselda Blanco.

has owned Miami. Griselda with Sofia Vergara. That came out the beginning of this year, and it was really incredible. Sofia Vergara played Griselda, and it was just such a departure, and there was just a lot of talk about what an incredible job

She did. It's fantastic. I watched it, but I think I'm the only one on the show that did. Yeah, it's tricky, too, when things come out at the very beginning of the year. Like, I remember people talking about it, but I'm like, was that this year? Was that last year? But now, when something comes out in January, February, by the time December rolls around, it's like, what year did that show come out exactly? So she was a mob boss. Yeah. Yeah, she was the most powerful female, like, head of a cartel. And started with nothing. It's a real feel-good story. Yeah.

Thank goodness she had that stick-to-itiveness about her. That's right. She didn't want to give up. Celebrity duos really quickly. Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton, most searched for celebrity duo. I'll do it in reverse for whatever reason this time. Justin and Hailey Bieber, number two. And my favorite, number three, Vanna White and Ryan Seacrest.

A whole bunch of scenarios up on the Matt and Drew Show Instagram in the stories, and that's where you go to vote. But let's get into a couple right now. This one, I was thinking actually really of Aaron when I wrote this last night.

because I really firmly know the answer. Drew, though, a little bit of a wild card. Would you rather only be able to watch Hallmark movies for the rest of your life? I'm not just here for the upcoming Bonfire Fest. Or horror movies for the rest of your life? I'm going to take a little walk. Was it the boogeyman?

I'm scared. There's nothing to be scared of. Are you sure? No, she's not sure. Not sure at all. But that's the fun. Hallmark movies for the rest of your life and only Hallmark movies or horror. Do you want to make it official, Erin? Yes, I'm not just here to watch the bonfire fest. You're here for the love. Yes, yes. No, easy, easy, easy. Yeah. This one is also easy for me.

It's horror movies. You're kidding. But here's why. If you opened it, I love horror movies, and a great horror movie is a great movie.

If you had opened it up to be Christmas movies and I could get Christmas Vacation, Home Alone, Die Hard, Office Christmas Party, etc., I'd go Christmas movie. But Hallmark and Hallmark only? Yeah. Horror movies. Yeah. I like a Hallmark or two a year. I know. But then I'm good. Then I'm good. I don't need to watch them every day. Yeah. I've never actually sat through a full Hallmark movie. Yeah.

I just know they're not for me. Yet you will read...

Trash. Trashy romantic novels, which take far longer to read than a 90-minute Hallmark movie. I don't know why that is, but it's just... It's not because I think I'm above it. As Drew just mentioned, I will read trash. It is a bit of a conundrum. Is it small doses of saccharin are okay for you and not too much? I don't know. I just... Listen, I loved Bridgerton, but I didn't find that with saccharin. So, like, I like...

Trash in a different way. Sexy. I think Hallmark might be just too above the shirt. Like, it's just, you know what I mean? Maybe try the Lifetime Christmas movies. They're a little saucier than Hallmark. Got it, all right. So how are the people voting? 85% go on Hallmark. Awesome.

Yay! On the Matt and Drew Show Instagram stories. You can vote in there on all of the different Christmas scenarios. 85% going Hallmark, 15% going horror. We'll keep it above the shirt. Above the shirt. Would you rather anonymously...

distribute a risque photocopy at the office Christmas party of yourself. Like you take it, you went and you were inappropriate with photocopy and then it got distributed or there was one going around and you didn't do it, but they thought it was you. So you didn't do it. So you didn't do it. And you're, everybody thinks that you, or you did do it and nobody knows. I'll do it. I'll do it.

Nobody's going to find out as opposed to, I don't know what that picture looks like that's wrongly being attributed to me. So I will go with the sure thing and nobody suspects it's me. Yeah, I guess me too. Although it's like, what was it though?

Well, that's open to interpretation. We just put down risque. Oh, boy. So it's obviously not your elbows. No. 62% would rather do it and not get caught. Yeah. 38% say they would rather have not been the participant but have everybody think that they did it. I'm assuming that's a generous picture then. It's risque but flattering. It's your boobs but you've got a really nice bra on. Which...

Which way? Which way? Oh, Aaron's got such nice taste in brassieres. Exactly. Look at those. Why is your bra still on if you're doing it? Oh. Oh. I'm like, I didn't know you're supposed to actually take your bra off. I'm not a bit of an expert. It depends on what you're doing. Not that I've seen a ton to really compare. I would assume your bra's off. It's like your underpants are off.

They are? When you're doing the bum photo, your underpants obviously have to be off or at least down. Or you're wearing a thong or really sexy underwear. No, Erin. Again, too hallmark. Okay. No. Above the shirt or at least above the bra. At the very least.

Would you rather, would you rather, would you rather, would you rather Wednesday? Real friends, real pods. This is the Nat and Drew Show podcast. Wheel Gaze! Time to spin the wheel. Give away some Jerry Seinfeld tickets.

Edwina on line six. Good morning, Edwina. Good morning. How you doing? I'm good. How about you? We're good. Edwina, are you ready? Do you feel strong? You want to spin the wheel?

I do. Okay, you got to give it a go. I'm ready for it. Lean into it. Spin the wheel. Don't you love spinning a wheel to win stuff? I think spinning a wheel is so fun. That is the one way in a mall when they're always asking you if you're in the middle of the mall and you want to sign up for something or you want whatever. If there is a wheel, there is a chance I will stop. I'll stop and talk. Is there a wheel? I want to spin the wheel. Edwina, your phone is cracking a little bit. Are you in a good spot? We're getting a lot of interference on your phone. Okay, let me...

Sure, yeah, you just take your time. Okay, is that better? No. Not at all. Could actually be worse. What's going on? I don't know what to say. I'm not on speakerphone. I'm on my cell. But where is your cell? Like, is it in a tunnel? Edwina, I'm sorry. I really apologize, but we can't really...

We can't really hear you. It's just nothing but crackle. I'm sorry, but we do have to move on. I hate to do that to you, but it's tough when we can't hear very well. Sorry about that. Who are we going next? We're going to Julia on seven. Hi, Julia. Hi. Hey. So now you get to spin the wheel. Lucky you. Awesome. So give us a three, two, one countdown and lean into that spin. Three, two, one. Mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm, mm-mm.

Today's game is 5 and 10. 5 and 10. Okay, we'll give you a category. You have to name five things that fit that category within 10 seconds to win the Jerry Seinfeld tickets. Are you ready? As ready as I can be. Okay. All right. Julia, your category is five TV shows from the 90s. Go. Go.

I'm drawing a complete blank. No. No. Nothing. Nothing. Sorry. Not even Seinfeld? You know what? That would have been a good start. Yeah, a good place to start. You know what? I didn't even go there. Julia, I said friends. Julia, thanks for having some fun with us this morning. Okay, we're going to go to Belinda on nine.

Hi, Belinda. Hi, Belinda. It's the same game, five and ten. Okay. Right? So you've got ten seconds to name five things in the category. Are you ready? Yep. Five stand-up comedians. Go.

Jerry Seinfeld. Oh, my God. Fraser, George Carlin, Eddie Murphy, Louis C.K., Jerry Seinfeld, Sarah Silverman. You eventually got around to it, but you didn't get enough. In time, no, yeah. You came back around. I'm blanking on the name of the second name that you...

Fraser? Fraser Crane, which is a comedian. Yeah, that's what I said. But he came back around with George Carlin and Louis C.K. and some others, but we didn't get five within the ten seconds. Good try there, Belinda. Thanks for giving it a go. Thank you. All right, let's go to Chris. He's on line ten. Good morning. Hi, Chris. How are you feeling about this game? It seems difficult. Can you take yourself off speaker, please? Hello.

Then I can't have my helper help me. No, you can't actually because you've only got 10 seconds. Okay. Okay, let's just do the category. Okay, I'm here. Perfect, perfect. Okay, Chris, we're rooting for you here. The category is five provincial capitals. Go. Five provincial capitals. Victoria. Ottawa. He's not helping me. I don't...

You know, you could know some.

I know. I blank. This is tough. Yeah, Ottawa is the nation's capital, so that doesn't count. Yeah, I'm sorry there. Okay, can we do one more? Let's take a break and reset and try to bring some fresh luck and good fortune to this game. Because this might be the most disastrous on-air contest we have ever attempted. I kind of weirdly love it. I do. It's like a car wreck, and I don't want to look away.

way. That makes one of us. Okay, 604-280-1035. Good luck. The Nat and Drew Show.

Here we go. The Wheel of Games continues this morning to win Jerry Seinfeld tickets. Seinfeld, part of Just for Laughs Vancouver on February 23rd at Queen Elizabeth Theatre. Suzanne, how are you feeling this morning? Oh, I'm good, thanks. All right, Suzanne, so nobody's been able to do 5 and 10. It's been the most impossible game to ever play this morning. Sounds like. But I think you're going to break the streak. We have confidence in you, Suzanne.

Okay. Five and ten is the game. We'll give you the category. You have to name five things that fit the category to win the Seinfeld tickets. Okay. All right, here we go. Five things you put up around your house for Christmas. Go. Christmas tree, ornaments, Santa, lights, stockings. There we go. There we go. Cow. Holy cow.

You prevented us. Thank you. You prevented us for having to do the next category, which was going to be five days that ended Y. We're getting to the end. Yeehaw. Okay. Yeehaw is right. Look at you going to Jerry Seinfeld, February 23rd at Queen Elizabeth Theater. Well done. Thank you very much. You're very well. Thank you for a million reasons this morning, Suzanne. You're waking up with The Nat and Drew Show.

Well, how often do you think the cast of Friends get together? Now, here's the scoop. According to Lisa Kudrow, actually not very often. Smelly cats.

She was on Jesse Tyler Ferguson's podcast and said it was 10 years after the show ended before all six of them had dinner together. 10 years before all six got together again for the first time. Then they weren't all in the same room again until they filmed that 25th anniversary special a few years ago. So only twice since Friends ended were all six of them together.

The next time the surviving five, I imagine, would have been together was for Matthew Perry. But you think about, you know, taking time for granted and stuff like that. It is kind of wild between the show, when the show ended, and the time of Matthew Perry's death. All six were only together two times. I think that, you know, I am a little bit surprised, but I do know, and most of you might know this too, like obviously Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston are very tight, but Lisa Kudrow is fantastic.

part of that friendship as well. She doesn't see them as much. I think she spends some time in France. So the three women would be photographed and they would post stuff on social media together but you never saw David Schwimmer and you never saw Matt LeBlanc and while he was alive Matthew Perry either. Like it was never really once in a while Matthew would be with one of the women but David Schwimmer felt like he was doing his own thing in New York City and Matt LeBlanc was doing his own thing. I think he was in London for a while

And Lisa said it's not because they're not friends. She does talk with all of them. It's the getting together, which I think we can all relate to as well. Friends that you are in touch with, you are in contact with, you just have that rare occasion where you can actually see them. And that's the category that the Friends cast us in. Or you see, you know, when you have a group of people, you might see...

Some of them, but not like all together, you know? And I just, I think that's just like, that's real life. And ultimately they were work friends, right? And I think that in some ways it makes me feel like I like the moral now to know that they're a little more normal, right? Like they were work friends. Yeah. You know? Certainly how it started. And there is that real life. But as you all know, like I think we all have...

been through this you are at a job and you feel super close to the people that you were with and it's not that anything happens but if you change jobs and you just don't see them as often anymore you don't talk as often yeah bye yeah i'll talk to you guys all the time will you i will all the time i don't think so yeah you know it feels like aaron can't wait to get out of here no i'm gonna call you all the time i'm prepared you do you want to hang out what are you doing what are you doing uh do you

Barrymore has admitted that she has been warned to keep her hands to herself during interviews on her talk show. It really is sort of guest dependent, but Drew Barrymore is known for being very touchy feely and not everybody likes that. Like Drew Barrymore is not, she's a close talker. She's a close sitter. She gets so close to her guests. Um,

Well, on the show yesterday was Cynthia Erivo from Wicked, one half of the Cynthia Ari duo now because Cynthia and Ariana Grande for Wicked have been together like doing all these interviews. And they have also been super tight, super touchy feely. Sometimes they would do an interview and it's like they were like hugging each other while answering the interviewer's questions. It was a lot.

So Drew asked Cynthia, you know, is it true that Ariana Grande is really touchy? She's kind of the one that sort of started it. I'm sort of used to it now. I'm sort of, if it doesn't, if it's not like connected, I'm like, what's wrong? What's happening? Yeah.

Where are you? You know what I mean? We always end up, we walk hand in hand very often. They are like, it's wild. It's not weird. It's just wild. You very rarely see two people that are not in a romantic relationship that are adults that are that touchy with each other. I love it.

I love it. It's like you and I, Nat. You know, it's exactly how we sit in all our work meetings. Yeah, you know how I'm touching you and you're all stiff? Yeah. Is there something I should know? No. Okay. No, she bites me.

I'm trying. But it's just, it's not for everyone. The Scoop. Weekdays at 7.20, 8.20 and 9.20. Move. 1.035. We are just about done for the day, but, but, we have all our knowledge to impart before we go home. Good.

At the end of the show, we like to review what we learned. Yes, that's what I said. Exactly. I said the exact same thing, Drew. Okay. What did you learn? According to an HR expert, one of the worst things you can do at the Christmas party is to post pictures without consent.

But what if you look real good? It's a real good one of you. If other people are in the picture, you must make sure that you have their consent to post that photo. Don't you hate one of the things that when you find there's a really great picture of you and other people, you know your friend doesn't look as good? Yeah, like her eyes are closed. You're like, you don't care because you look so good? I think that's okay if you smudge their face.

smudge their face? Yeah. How about if you just... Could you just crop them out? You could do that, too. You could do that. Okay. Because it would seem like a waste if it's a really great photo of you and you haven't shared it with the world. Aaron, would it hurt your feelings to know that you got cropped out of a friend's picture? Which would you rather have? To be cropped out of a friend's picture or have your eyes closed in your friend's picture? Cropped, of course. Okay, I didn't know. It's a bit awkward when it's like you're cropped and there's a space and there's someone else. Like it's a party, right? And it's like...

Yeah, clearly there's nobody there. There's the outline of where you cut the person out. But still, do it. Erin, what about you? What did you learn? I learned this beautiful story about this trucker in Montana who has... It's just been found out that for 15 years he's been decorating random trees on the side of the highway. Just one every season, beautifully decorated, and he does it for his wife just to make her smile. Is that not the sweetest story you've ever heard? That's really cute. I know, I just...

just, I love that so much. And you know, hello, the holiday spirit is still alive and well. Is it the sweetest story I've ever heard? No, I've heard sweeter, but it's a nice one. Did it involve a dog? They always involve dogs. And speaking of dogs, dogs and cats, actually, we are doing the 12 strays of Christmas. We've been doing it on our social channels, both Instagram and Facebook. The idea is that we, you know, I think

I think sometimes we forget that we have a shelter problem that actually is happening right now in the Lower Mainland because for years we really didn't have it. We would have like a few animals in our shelters, but we have overcrowding now. And so we're trying to, you know, shine a spotlight on some animals that most likely will still be in the shelter come Christmas Day.

And if we can get some more home, that would be excellent. And so you can go to our Instagram and Facebook and take a look. And one of the things you can do too is like maybe you're not in a place where you can adopt right now, but share their stories because you never know who, you know, on your own channels maybe is looking and maybe that video like resonates with that person. So that is one of the ways to help. Also, by the way, this is a really cool program, the City of Vancouver's Animal Shelter. So it's

the City of Vancouver one. There's the SPCA and the City one. The City for sure does a program where you can foster over Christmas. So if you're like, you know what, I'm going to be home for the holidays and just to give an animal a break from the shelter and maybe expose them to other people that might be interested in adopting them. Nice. For more details on the 12 strays, just check out the Nat and Drew show on Instagram or Facebook. That might be the sweetest story.

Real friends. Real fun. Catch the Nat and Drew Show live. Weekdays, 530 to 10.
