    Dec 17 2024

    Ever wondered what it's like to swap the serene streets of Stockholm for the wide-open spaces of Nebraska? Our lovely guest Emma from Sweden does just that, sharing her eye-opening experiences and cultural observations that range from the curious to the hilarious. Together, we reminisce about the once-bustling shopping malls of yore, now laid low by the rise of online shopping. With humor as our guide, we recall the holiday chaos of crowded malls and muse over peculiar modern-day shopping quirks.

    As the holiday season edges closer, we get caught up in the whirlwind of last-minute shopping and the surprising speed at which holiday films hit streaming platforms. Our chat takes a funny turn with tales of celebrity antics, including The Rock's infamous punctuality, and the increasing popularity of digital gifts over traditional toys. Picture this: sneaking toys into carts and even "borrowing" from others—yes, we've done it all. The discussion extends to childhood gift preferences, from treasured action figures to the now-coveted gift cards for online gaming platforms.

    Ready for a bit of whimsy? Our playful banter continues with quirky "would you rather" scenarios that will have you chuckling. Imagine choosing between sticky hands or slimy feet, or debating the merits of a floating house versus an underwater hotel. As Emma joins in on the fun, we also touch on the heartwarming aspects of Christmas traditions and the joyous bonds formed through cultural exchange. With thoughtful reflections on personal growth, seasonal traditions, and a teaser of more fun to come with Emma Hayward, this episode is packed with laughter, nostalgia, and insightful conversations.
