I cannot stop laughing at how this went from 90s teen girl television icons unite for discussion... to literally Clarissa Explains it all: episode titled "Clams and Christmas"
Stop it. Blossom and Clarissa are literally my heroes. I am shaken to my CORE that this just happened. Thank God Mayim breaks it down for me because I AM BREAKING DOWNNNN
As a GenXer im feeling some kind of way seeing 2 of my all time teen crushes having a grown up conversation as amazing mature women. I love this show so much, Mayim is doing the most for the world.
There needs to be a part 2 of this! I loved every moment. Listening to to beautiful, intelligent women talk about clams was amazing. I loved both these ladies growing up.
Mayim and Melissa two incredible role models of the 80s hopefully still relevant today - such a rare entertaining hour that juggled the past snd present of these two talented women - I so love this BREAKDOWN series hope it never ends❤
It was cute seeing Melissa explain Advent to Mayim. My mom grew up Luthern so Advent was always part of our family Christmas traditions. But our Advent calendars didn't have items in them! It was just opening the cardboard door and seeing what the picture would be. Also, yes, the 12 days of Christmas are related to the three wise men. (In some translations they are called Magi, which possibly means court astrologers.) It just says they came from the East but we don't know where, exactly. The feast of the Epiphany is January 6, which is the traditional day the wise men came. In England the night before Epiphany used to be called Twelfth Night because Epiphany is 12 days after Christmas!
@Mayim Bialik Practicing Roman Catholic here. Christmas is celebrated in the Catholic Church from Christmas Eve evening up until the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which falls on January 7-13th depending on the year. We celebrate the three kings typically the second Sunday after Christmas Day, on the Feast of the Epiphany. The three kings were not Jewish, they were Gentile-this is an important detail because in the feast of the Epiphany we remember Jesus the Messiah first making Himself known to the Gentiles. I believe the song “12 days of Christmas” was based on counting 12 days from December 25th to January 6th, as the latter was when Epiphany was celebrated (it’s now been moved to usually fall on the second Sunday after Christmas). Catholic Christmas is a bit different from how many Protestants celebrate it in that Christmas is a liturgical season lasting 2-3 weeks, so we can take it all in. Advent is the 4 week period before Christmas in which we prepare our own hearts for Christ’s coming. The first three weeks have liturgical readings focusing on Christ’s second coming, which we believe will come at the eschaton (the end of this present world and the beginning of the next). The last week before Christmas Day we focus on readings leading up to Christ’s first coming in Bethlehem. In any case, Christmas carols are not sung at Mass until Christmas Eve (although carols with an expectation/waiting character, like “O come O come Emmanuel” May be sung during Advent. Although Advent is somewhat of a penitential season, it’s more about expectation and preparation than Lent is. Hope some of this was helpful, loved the interview!
Thank you for writing all of this! May I also add that in many Latin American countries, especially Puerto Rico, the feast of the epiphany is celebrated as a huge part of Christmas time. It does not matter what day of the week it falls. The Sunday closest to January 6 is celebrated in the Catholic Church still, however, as the feast of the Epiphany.
Wow! I am so surprised at how much I loved this episode! I didnt realize how much i needed a little more Melissa Joan Hart in my life. I always love Mayims episodes with child stars, and MJH is probably the most upbeat, uplifting one I've seen. Btw, the three Kings came from the east. They were very likely from the regions of Islam.
Right have pretty much only just begun watching and i know we need more mayim/melissa joan content. You 2 are so funny together! Mayim i swear your comedy came out much more here 😂
I actually watched a UA-cam video about Sabrina Teenage Witch a few days ago and I actually thought how it would be cool for Melissa and Mayim to be on this podcast together. Now it's happened. I'm happy!😊
Melissa Joan hart is 48 the same age as me, grew up watching her in Nickelodeon and her on Friday night Sabrina the teenage witch, she alos like Shirley Temple like i do, she has the same biography book call Child Star. Thanks for sharing this. 😊
I LOVED this episode. It’s so nostalgic for me, Sabrina was huge when I was growing up. I’m so glad Melissa has a fulfilled life and I relate to Christmas obsession so it was really fun to watch!
I love this episode. I can't imagine Melissa as six 😀 my brother loved her as Clarissa explains it all. & I loved Sabrina the teenage witch. & My son & now my daughter watches Sabrina 💗
Clarissa and Blossom were the epitomy of cool to Me when I was young! I wanted to be just like you both. It's so awesome to see the two of you together! ❤️
Loved this! I got married at 21 when Sabrina was in it's first season so I feel like I grew up watching you both. I have such happy memories of watching Boy Meets World and Sabrina on a Friday night in our broke newlywed days. With this history, my husband and I also binged Melissa & Joey. Then two years ago I was googling best Christmas Movies and Holiday in Handcuffs came highly recommended so I bought the DVD sight unseen on Ebay and we loved that too. Thanks for spreading so much joy. 😘
“We don’t wipe our butts with Santa Claus.” That’s a sentence I never thought I’d hear in my life. This might be one of my favorite episodes. And another vote for Mayim to go to 90s Con 😁
Woah! I'm from LI Nesconset near the Smithhaven Mall. I took the ferry from Sayville to Fire Island back in the 80's to party with my friends. Hi Melissa and Mayim! :).
Romper room Never saw me in her mirror. Melissa thank you for making me finally know that it wasn't my fault its because I wasn’t in the room. Omg, Miracle on what street? Lol I have always hated these movies, but I see Melissa's point that they can be an escape. That's a lot of commitment for Christmas Melissa. Clams and Christmas what a funny fun episode. Holiday is Handcuffs was hysterical. I remember Fake Fiance too. Melissa and Joey was soooo fun to watch. Thanks MBB for this episode it was a lot of fun
I love this, I love both of you! I watch Mistletoe in Montana on a regular basis, LOVE Melissa in that movie! I feel like the cast are my friends during my lonely times, as pathetic as that sounds. She's right, it's my happy place.
loved this ❤❤ grew up with both of you gals!!! yes, 12 days of Christmas is still a thing in some Latin American countries and some places in Europe. The 12 days start Christmas day and ends when the 3 Kings show up with gifts for Jesus on January 6. Soooo much Christmas 😅
I grew up right next to Sayville. Everyone knew Melissa Joan Heart was from there. Not many famous people from the middle of Long Island. I have seen the bags in trees and always wondered what that was! Thank you Melissa Joan heart for teaching me! lol
that was a genius show, when i put it together, i was blown away, and i remember that time, i was in a slightly older crowd that might watch your show, for me its like george harrison's son meeting paul mc cartney's daughter or something to that degree.............thank you
WOW MY 2 FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Blossom and Clarissa. However Sabrina was my absolute favorite. I still watch reruns of Sabrina the teenage witch. It brings back such nostalgia.
Christmas is my favourite holiday. I start decorating for Christmas on November 1st lol. I have a list of every Christmas movie ever made since 1905 😂 I am a huge fan of the Lawrence brothers
Melissa & Joey was one of my all-time faves. Brotherly Love was good too. & MJH's 2 fave Christmas movies she mentioned with Joey Lawrence & Mario Lopez were 2 of the best.
Patty Duke was a lead in her show when she was a kid. And she played herself as a twin! I love and miss her. She was a great actress! I would watch her show back when Nickelodeon had a bunch of old time reruns. Nick at Night I think is when it may have played. I’m not positive. We didn’t really watch the kid shows on Nickelodeon. I think as teens, we were a bit too old for them. We watched Disney after school. And we were busy with school stuff as teens in the 90’s. And the evening shows our whole family watched. Blossom was a favorite for sure! 😊
Amy/Blossom meeting Clarissa/Sabrina? A crossover that we didn't know we needed until now.
Yep 😊
What I came to say!
@@DaniElle-di4ho4 REPLIES
I'm shock they never did a crossover episode between blossom and Clarissa but then again it was on different channel
Blossom/Amy/Ķat, and Clarissa/Sabrina/Melissa. Two amazing women. It was really fun to listen to them banter back and forth!
I cannot stop laughing at how this went from 90s teen girl television icons unite for discussion... to literally Clarissa Explains it all: episode titled "Clams and Christmas"

Most adhd convo I’ve seen in a while 🙌🏻💕 love them both so much 😍😍😍😍

It's like two of your exes comparing notes

I have always loved Melissa Joan Hart! Seeing and listening to the two of you together was such a treat!

Its so nice to see two well adjusted child stars i loved as a teenage!✌️

I loved Holiday in Handcuffs. I feel like it was one of the first Hallmark/Lifetime Christmas movies I watched. Now we watch them all.
I've been having such a hard time lately. With feeling isolated and alone. Your opening sequence has become like a hello from a friend. Thanks.
Hoping the days to come are brighter, @beulahboi. We are so glad you're here. 🫶
@@MayimBialik Thank you
You are not alone
I agree.. and these last days i been singing to myself "its Mayim Bialik.. shes gonna break down for you.... breakdown breakdown"😂❤😊

We didn't have cable, but my Grandma did. So anytime we were at Grandma's and the show was on, I was glued.
Clarissa was like nothing else on TV. So loved it!
Loved this episode….well, all of them are so special because of you Mayim. Thanks for your continued interest in the human race.
Melissa is such a Beautiful person inside out and I love her movies and her show. I like your show and so cool to have both of you in the same show.

10 minutes in and this is the funniest episode I've seen so far 🤣 "Don't bring another clam into this house!!"
I was in a filming of Romper Room and was in the first row. That was 58
years ago.
I loved Sabrina!! I live in Perú and we got to see it in the afternoon after homework. So awesome and fun to see 🤩
Amy meeting Sabrina is the crossover we didn't know we needed!😍❤
blossom meeting clarissa for me
Blossom meeting sabrina here! I didn't really watch clarissa
@@jecka1982 I have no idea who Blossom is😅
The Christmas conversation was superb 😄👏🏽👏🏽
This is the best episode yet. I loved Clarrissa, Dabrina, Blossom and THBT. They’re in my fave top 5 actresses from my childhood ❤❤❤❤
That was a great show. Thank you.

Melissa is so humble and adorable just like her characters she played
That could've gone on for hours... enjoyed this so much
This thumbnail looks amazing. I hope this is the design moving forward.
Looking forward to this episode.
I did watch Clarissa and Sabrina here in Dominican Republic! Always nice to see Melissa Joan Hart. I love that she's a presby.
Great interview.❤ I don’t recall watching Clarissa but definitely Sabrina
You didn’t know each other!!! Amazing listening to you two
Mayim and Melissa are just the best. Love this.

Awesome, y'all are hilarious. Much love to both of you. ❤😊
Good conversation -- Open and Honest.
This wasn't like the other episodes but I loved it. The two of you are great together.
I grew up right next to Sayville. Everyone knew Melissa Joan Heart was from there. Not many famous people from the middle of Long Island. I have seen the bags in trees and always wondered what that was! Thank you Melissa Joan heart for teaching me! lol
THE PAIRING WE DIDN’T KNOW WE NEEDED!! Thank you!! X
Clarissa and Blossom ❤
I've always loved MJH, and now I love her even more! ❤
What a great show. I loved it! Could have gone on another hour.
This is a great episode. 🫶 I think you guys need a tv show/movie together as best friends 😂🫰
Agreed - this episode should have been three hours 😎
The twelve days of Christmas are the days from Christmas to Three Kings Day (Jan. 6). This was a great episode!
What women Binge is so fun and love the “ sitting around, chatting with girlfriends” feel of it!
Omg, I loooooved Romper Room!! No one ever knows what I'm talking about, this made me so happy 😂
Thank you Mayim, this was wonderful.
Love this. I feel like Melissa's voice is so different 😅 but also, I haven't really heard her talk since Sabrina days . Lol
that was a genius show, when i put it together, i was blown away, and i remember that time, i was in a slightly older crowd that might watch your show, for me its like george harrison's son meeting paul mc cartney's daughter or something to that degree.............thank you
SUCH A GREAT EPISODE!!!
The ad break after “how do oysters and clams have sex?” Was the best use of an ad break I’ve seen.
This episode was long overdue! Great episode 💜
I really enjoyed this podcast. Thank you x.
This is so weird... I was watching some moths-old video about Sabrina and then this pops on my notifications... Thank you!
WOW MY 2 FAVORITE CHILDHOOD MEMORIES Blossom and Clarissa. However Sabrina was my absolute favorite. I still watch reruns of Sabrina the teenage witch. It brings back such nostalgia.
Don’t forget that Mayim also made a holiday movie: The Flight Before Christmas. Love it. Watch it every year.
Love you both! ❤ Thank you for giving me the first laugh of my day. 😊
This was so good ladies. So honest. 💜💜💜💜💜
This was awesome!
Mayim, I think we need a vlog on that golden babydoll behind you. Totally needs an explanation or a story on how you got it.
So excited to watch this!
Enjoyed you both.
Christmas is my favourite holiday. I start decorating for Christmas on November 1st lol. I have a list of every Christmas movie ever made since 1905 😂 I am a huge fan of the Lawrence brothers
😂what’s your fave movie?

How am i just realizing you have a podcast? I guess that just mean i get to binge watch both of your podcasts now😊
We need this again plus Joey Lawrence
Did not realize she was in Nashville now. That is where I live. How cool.
Loved this! Only thing missing was asking her about being in Britney Spears’ music video😂
This one was awesome. Thanks!
Patty Duke was a lead in her show when she was a kid. And she played herself as a twin! I love and miss her. She was a great actress!

Blossom was a favorite for sure! 😊
I loved hearing someone wonder about Christmas like we sometimes wonder about other traditions
Nostalgia at its finest 🫶🏼
OMG, How I'd love to get a Christmas card from Melissa, I guess the next convention I see her at I'll need to bring one for her to sign for me LOL
Yaaassand please have Soleil!
