Hey everyone, welcome back to The Messenger Mic'd
Up. Today we're doing things a little bit differently
because Zach is not here so all the equipment
set up around us is by us. So any lights go out
is her fault and if the audio is messed up it's
my fault. We totally should have. But anyways,
we decided that since we won't Be speaking to
you next week because we'll be on break We thought
maybe a list of activities of what you guys could
do over the thanksgiving holiday holiday break
thanksgiving break. Yeah But other than that
we have Minimal news to give you I can start
off by saying the last weekend of Mechanical
is this Friday, so the episode this Friday that
comes out. You'll have two shows Friday, two
shows Saturday, and one show Sunday, I believe.
Yeah. And that will be your last chance to go
see the Johnson County Community College adaption
of Mechanical. It's a great play. I went and
saw it. Yeah. I was going to go the same day
that you did, but I can't remember. Something
came up. It was it was good. I really liked it.
Because. Landon was in it? Yeah. He was really
good. He's a good actor. Nice to know. Especially
for how long he's been doing it. He hasn't been
doing it that long. Really? Yes. But it was great.
The lead, the female lead, she was really good.
Like phenomenal performance. You should see it
this weekend. What's it about? So basically it's
an expressionist play told from the perspective
of the female lead who is Think her name was
Ruth Snyder. Okay, but it's really about this
woman who murders her husband And she gets the
electric care for it oh Yeah, that's interesting.
Yeah Makes sense. I mean I've seen the movie
posters movie posters the play posters And I
was like, what is that? So yeah, that's good
to know Mackenzie also wrote an article about
it, so you guys should go check that out I liked
it. I liked your article Anyways, so we also
have the news that you brought up. I don't want
to steal your thunder But there is a blood drive
coming up on December 3rd, which is a Wednesday

news to us. Oh, but there is a pancake feed for
finals. Nice. And if you guys are struggling
with any of your finals, you can go and check
out the in the library area. They have support
for math, science, English. What's the fourth

for everything. So if you are struggling I will
be going down there for my statistics because
I don't even Where I just took a test. What is
a p hat? I've never taken probably probability

so I will be needing that help And you guys know
where I will be leading up to finals weekend
On top of that, we also have Thanksgiving break
holiday break So that will be this Wednesday
the 26th, I believe Yes. Yeah. So our first day
of break starts on Wednesday, which is the day
before Thanksgiving And it I think just that
till Sunday But that gives you a little bit of
break some family time or alone time or vacation
if anyone else is going on vacation. Where are
you going? Back to Dallas. Nice. You're going
to get trapped there again. Don't say that. It's
not a thing that I'm going to say and it's going
to happen. It's going to happen. That's why I'm
saying it. So we're getting a rental car, so
we're not taking my car. So we'll be fine. OK,
we'll see. I am driving. Nope. We won't see her
again. I won't be here next semester. What? If
I get stuck. Oh, that's right. Anyways, we also
have some other ideas of what you guys could
do around Johnson County and just areas. Coming
up, we do have November 22nd is the official
grand opening of a historic museum for String
Line. Huh? I was like what? I'm like grand opening
of what? Oh yeah, so it's the very long old train
tracks that go from String Hall, String Line,
so Olathe area Yeah, on top of that. We also
have the grand opening It was grand open. I think
yesterday yesterday ready and dreadies Nice little
racetrack Zach and I actually went Zach went
with you. Yeah, we had an extra ticket So I was
like Zach you want to come because he knew Kirsten
who I was going with we all played Did you race
we did race I won I won, Zach got second. I will
make Zach force him to pop up a photo right here.
And it's going to be the one I edited. And we
can blur Kirsten if she doesn't want to be in
it. But yeah, so there's that photo. I'm pretty
much wearing the same outfit, just different
colors. Hey, I mean, you have a style. It's cute,
though. I like it. It's very basic. I mean, this
is very basic. We wear comfy clothes. Yeah, it's
cold. It is I have a jacket in that chair that
I'm not wearing right now because it's a bit
warm in here We forgot to turn on the fan And
also if you see me looking right there instead
of right here, we do have the monitor on just
in case we mess up so Computer instead of at
the camera. Yeah, I kind of switched back and
forth But doesn't even matter so we have the
opening of in dreadies. We also have the opening
of the museum that's gonna be downtown Overland
Park on 80th and String line string hall line.
Whatever that is. Is it string hall line string
hall is a place It's the same place. Okay string
halls right there That's why it's called string
hall. It's Wait, it's on concert Okay Santa Fe
Road. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, I'm like getting lost
in my head. I'm like string line. Wait string
line turns into Santa Fe Drive, I believe It
does Yeah, cuz that's where I live Cuz I take
string line to get here. I didn't know it like
it can yeah, it's like the whole thing See, that's
why you guys need to go Who knew? Learn your
streets On top of that the ice skating rink in
downtown or not downtown Evelyn Park the ice
skating rink in town center Plaza and Park place
is opened up my friend Patrick works there He's
been trying to get me to go for years and I'm
like, I don't want to fall on my butt. You'll
be fine Really? I'm so scared. I don't think
I fell I went to the one in Crown Center. I mean,
it's cold obviously it's ice but I would just
say bundle up just in case you fall. But if you
know how to skate. You gotta wear like butt pads
and knee pads. Yeah. If you know how to skate
and just keep your balance, then you'll be fine.
A little bit. Because it's not the same. Because
I would never say it's the same. But I know how
to roller skate, kind of. Then you would be fine.
Let's go. We should go. Okay. Not this weekend,
but the next weekend we should. I won't. Be here
next weekend. Oh, you're right. I got that mixed
up with this weekend. I don't know why See, I
do that too because I was trying to the break
is so weird. It's yeah, it's like on Wednesday
We should have the whole week off. We should
have the whole week off. That'd be nice. If anyone
from Johnson County is listening to this Maybe
Olathe gets the whole week. Really? High schools?
Oh, yeah, so does Blue Valley because my brothers
We should just have the whole week, I mean. I
mean, to be fair, we do get, like, a month break
in winter. When do classes start like that? January
24th. Are you serious? I think so. Around that
time. January 17th is the earliest, I think.
Geez, I don't know why I thought it started on,
like, the 5th. January 20th. Seriously? Wait,
did that say Friday? That's a Friday? No, it's
Tuesday. Oh, okay. I was like, that makes no
sense. I was gonna say, I'm like, geez. Okay.
Right right after Martin Luther King day. Mm
-hmm. So we get we have that whole December 14th
to January 20th area that is like So we're not
complaining about our short break for Thanksgiving
I am I am Let's see Other things like clubs there
are weekly events yoga gym on top of that. We
also have some Santa Claus, there's one at the
mall, there's one in, I think it's the Barnes
and Nobles or the Macy's that's in town center.
Okay. There's also possibly gonna be a Santa
in downtown Overland Park, but I'm not sure the
dates. You ever take a picture with Santa? We
used to do, it used to be a family tradition.
We used to go to, I think it was JCPenney's,
and go take pictures with Santa. when I was like
five. I don't know why I remember it because
I was only five, but I also took a picture with
Santa when I worked at Zaxby's. That's so fun.
I wish I had the picture, but they never sent
it to me. Really? Really? It sucks. You should
sue. That's your photo. I haven't taken a picture
with Santa in so long. You should do it and give
it to your mom for Christmas. You know, my friend
said I was heartless because I told him I wouldn't
let my kids believe in Santa Okay I mean definitely
as a religion thing and not even but like At
some you have to give them a little bit of hey
Santa's giving you this this and this but I got
you the big presents I mean, I don't know. I
never believed in Santa. I was fine I knew my
parents were putting gifts under the tree, which
was totally fine with me. I I loved it. I got
gifts It's true Yeah, I mean we made cookies
and things but I wasn't like let's make cookies
for Santa. Nah, let's just make some cookies
cuz I want some cookies That's it. We had We
had fake fake beard we had fake footsteps out
of the chimney we had actual footprints on the
roof and deer prints in our front yard, which
was not like actual reindeer, but it was just
by chance, deer visited our yard on Christmas
Eve. Oh my gosh, that's funny. There was a sleigh
bell in our front yard that fell off Santa's
sled. Then on top of that, what else did we have
grown up? We did the cookies for Santa. When
we were like babies, my grandpa dressed up as
Santa for us. And we visited the same Santa every
year. Same mall Santa every year. My mom drove
us 45 minutes to go to a different mall. That's
literally what we were doing. Really? Yes. I'm
like, why do we have to drive so far just to
go see Santa Claus? The same Santa. And my mom's
Facebook friends with him now. Can you believe
that? I don't even know his name, but she does.
If I call my mom, I'd be like, hey, what's the
Santa? What's his name that we go to? She's going
to be like Greg. Greg? Besties. Besties with
Greg. We're actually gonna go have dinner with
him next week. Have you ever had dinner with
him? No. So we figured we might talk to you guys
and just share what we are gonna do over the
Thanksgiving break because we gave you those
four ideas. So Mackenzie, what are you gonna
do over the holiday break? Well, I am going to
Dallas. So I'm going with my aunt. But she's
going to the football game. Really? Yes. She's
going to the football game and then she's gonna
make Thanksgiving dinner on Friday, I think.
Instead of Thursday? Yeah. Because of the game.
Yeah. Makes sense. I will probably be with my
sister and we're doing the wedding cake tasting.
Just a couple... Your sister getting married?
Yeah. In like two years. But... I'm in charge
of making the wedding cake. Oh I've been practicing
making wedding cake But I've been I guess playing
with flavors so right now we have orange curd
filling and an orange cream filling because we're
doing orange and blue as the colors and then
I told her I said what if we do like a Blueberry
lavender orange cake or something I don't know
it made sense in my head, but I still haven't
done the lavender which sucks I haven't been
able to get any lavender, and I don't know why
it's not sold in stores You know the store that
Zach and I went to they sell lavender there.
What the which store the crystal shop yeah Crescent
Springs mm -hmm, and if you go to any other like
crystal shops, or I think it's called like hypocrite
Apothecary apothecary Yeah, it's gotta be I guess
specifically like food grade lavender, but I
don't know what the difference is I mean if it's
put in tea it can be put. Yeah. Yeah. So yeah,
I think you'd be fine Yeah, I'll have to check
it out because I've been looking at it online,
too I might just buy like a big thing of lavender
that they have on Amazon I guess for like five
dollars, but We'll see I'm just not doing it
now Right. I have a lot of time. But yeah, I'll
be in Dallas, wedding cake tasting. We're gonna
do it with cupcakes because I'm really bad at
just making a cake for some reason. But cupcake
tastings. I'm sure my niece will love that. Yeah,
and I'm probably gonna have dinner with my future
brother -in -law's mother. Nice. Yeah. Well,
I mean, that sounds like fun. At least you have
some of your family together. Mm -hmm. Then your
new home in the future, too. Yeah, I'm probably
gonna see my cousin because we're supposed to
be moving in together But I might go get a tattoo
Scandalous, what are you getting? I think I'm
gonna go ahead and get my lotus flower Because
I've been looking at that one since I was like
17. Where are you gonna get it? Nice nice, are
you didn't do black or white ink black? White
would be cute though. You knew makes it both
shade it I'll talk to the tattoo artist when
I get there. Maybe we'll see if I actually get
it cuz I am broke Same boat here. Don't even
worry about it. Hmm Well, what are you doing
though me? So my parents are split up the week
break before the 22nd to the 20th Sixth I will
be going to Mexico with my Mexico I'm going to
Mexico with my stepmom my stepbrothers and brothers
and dad and then when I get home We'll spend
Thanksgiving at my mom's and I'll probably head
over and see my cousins at my dad's Which will
be at my grandma's on her side. What part of
Mexico? I want to say like Puerto Vallarta area
or Honestly, why? Why Mexico though? What do
you mean why Mexico? For Thanksgiving? Just a
nice family vacation to get away from the cold.
I guess it's not even that cold here. Not really.
We have been pushing it back. So it's been push
back push back and we were gonna push back again
to December, but my brother's passports got here
on time. So we were able to avoid pushing it
back anymore. Good. Mm -hmm, because I think
we were supposed to go in like July. That would've
been nice. Yeah. But it would've been super hot.
Yeah. I've never been to Mexico. Really? Really.
Have you been out of this country? No. I don't
have a passport, actually. Yeah, I know. I need
to get one. Dang. Well, I plan on maybe going
to Canada next, because I want to actually possibly
scout for apartments. In Canada? Yeah. Why Canada?
Because not America. Hey, I want to live in Japan.
Oh my gosh, you would thrive in Japan. I'd hope
so. I just, I need to visit first for at least
two weeks. That's, that's what I want to do with
Canada. Yeah. And I mean, I hear Canada is nice
though. Cause I like, I like the weather up there.
Or at least I like what they say about the weather
up there. I want to try the syrup. Mmm, I'll
get you some. I actually have some. My brother
had a little friend that lived in Canada and
they did box swaps every couple months. That
was so cute and I was so jealous that he had
a Canadian friend and I did it. Literally. That
sounds nice. I know. I want a little country
friend. Actually, I technically had one. I have
a couple, but they're not Canadian. I had a friend
from the UK. Really? Yes, but we're not friends
anymore. But she was she was kind of cool until
she wasn't I guess I had a friend of the UK so
I have friends from like different states because
I used to be a part of a fandom What fandom nope
I need to know mm -hmm I I had a fan page I like
so recently I went through my so I was a really
popular person on this fan page, right? I had
like 20 ,000 followers. Oh my gosh, and then
I had a separate account which had like 800 followers
which give or take but Just saying I was cool.
I made edits. I'm so I'm so cool So those are
the people I used to watch I used to watch a
lot of the jailbreak videos and stuff. Now I
watch a lot of ARGs, which are like fake scary.
You know what I mean? So they're like made up
stories. Okay. And a lot of them are really popular.
And the civilizations, which is I think it's
like SMPs. I think they're SMPs. People who do
like a hundred players simulation. there's this
guy that i watched that does that his name is
um ryan not brian i think that's what it is ryan
not brian yeah that's literally his name but
he does that and he has like big servers where
they're all it's like um i took over a meeting
medieval Server or something and like he has
like a hundred players in there and they all
just basically kind of act out medieval Oh, yeah,
I've watched some of his videos before they're
funny. I like them. They're very long So I watched
them while I do my hair because it takes me like
three hours, but I like them They're very good.
I fall asleep to them. I I'm gonna read off my
most recent watched Not including like Smitty
and Vanoss. I have They're funny. I have Parrot.
I have, well, The Boys, but I watched that. Captain
Sparkles. Nakiri. There's Shmitty, Shmitty, Shmitty,
The Boys, The Boys, The Boys, Project Fear. The
last Minecraft video I watched is I survived
100 days in a glass bottle in Minecraft Hardcore.
What? Yeah, I have three in a row that are from
Parrot. And then I have Grigy Schmitty. I watch
a lot of this guy. Jacksepticeye. Nestoria. Ex
Nestoria. I watch a lot of his or Skye's. His
is really good too. And this guy. What's his
name? The last one I said was Skye's. But I watched
this other dude too. His name is Pain Domination.
I love his videos. They're so good. I really
can't find any of the other ones I've watched.
I guess I haven't watched any in a while. Zacko
builds. That's the one that I was thinking of.
I've been watching and I don't think he's played
Minecraft or maybe he has and I just haven't
seen it, but I've been watching a lot of Vel
the Human. Who? This guy. Oh! He has a lot of
edits on tiktok. I've seen his edits. I have
seen his edits. They're very good I like the
edits. I swear these aren't showing all of All
of the videos I watch But it's okay you ever
watch those cryptozoologies another one You ever
watch those videos where it's those two guys
that build houses in the forest I fall asleep
to those. I do too. I fall asleep to those. I
love those. And they're all sped up for some
reason. It's so satisfying to hear though. I
watch this girl as she camps. Outside with her
giant Jeep that she has. Really? Yes, and she
has these - She's glamping? Yes, she has these
giant tents that she uses while she's glamping
and she has all this stuff which I'm pretty sure
she's sponsored by. Really? Yes, like all of
this like cooking things and like blankets and
the big tent obviously because she has - she
had like a bubble tent one time. I'm like, can
you understand? A see -through bubble at that.
So like I don't think I'd like that me neither
But some of them have like curtains actually
I want a see -through if I know that I'm safe
I think I would like a see -through bubble because
I'd be cool What if it rains that would be so
cool and most of the time it's raining in her
videos But that sounds so relaxing. She's like
it sounds really nice But she does because I
don't even remember her name This is what happens
when Zack's not here we get so sidetracked with
Oliver. Oh, yeah, I've seen her on tik -tok Yeah,
I like her snow one because I think that's like
the most popular one that she has Her in the
snow, but like like you see that They look like
houses She has to be sponsored exactly. So you
probably how much do her videos views gets this
that's 2 .4 million 39 million 24 million. Oh,
yeah, she said they're definitely paying her
to use their tents. Oh my gosh Oh, she didn't
want the friend Yeah, but they're huge she makes
me want to go glamping I wonder she doesn't we
should go glamping for like a If you guys want
to see us go glamping we'll go just like yeah
comment send send emails be like we want to see
you guys out in the wilderness right now We want
to see you guys out in the wilderness right now.
I would do it. Glamping. That sounds fun. And
Zach was even talking about glamping, too, recently.
Really? I think so. Then we definitely have to
do it. So we have to do it. So. Glamping next
semester, yes? Yeah, we can even do it over break.
We could. Oh, guys, we have so many ideas. This
sounds fun. I'm so excited. I want to go glamping
now. What are we going to eat? I can make, I
can make Estagos. That sounds good. You can do
that in a tent with all the right utensils. Yes.
I can also do it over a campfire. Yeah. You know
how to make a fire from scratch? Uh, vaguely.
Just get me a fire starter and a torch. I'll
be good. Yep, there's a fire right there. I want
to learn how to do it by hand, but like at the
same time I don't. Yeah, you don't need that
skill. Why would you? Hopefully I'm not stuck
out if the world if the world somehow loses all
power one day You're not gonna need to know how
to let me escape our lighters would still work
Yeah, but they would go out of gas quickly true
I Thought it was the tornado, but it's just a
vacuum. I hope they can't hear it They can't
yeah, we just we both waited for the bar to go
down Anyways, no, we got sidetracked. So yeah,
we went from I don't know what to online friends
Oh being out of the country to online friends
to To glamping but we also talked about the youtubers
that we watched in between. Yep Oh 100 % 100
% but we are going glamping And it's coming out
of school's budget. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.
I'm kidding. I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Hey, I
