We're back. Thank you for your click.
( groans ) Yes, I wanna second...
( groans )
...that thank you for your click.
Whenever you click, we say-- ( groans ).
Yeah, because it clicks us.
I'm sure you're familiar with Mamrie Hart.
We are big fans of her YouTube channel You Deserve A Drink,
and she's also a good friend.
Yeah, so we asked her to do a holiday
correspondent's piece for us,
and she said, "Sure, if I can go visit a witch."
We were like, "We don't understand, but sure."
Hello! I am Mamrie Hart,
and I am here with Maja D'Aoust,
the White Witch of Los Angeles,
to teach me about some magic
and maybe even do a custom spell for me.
- So, nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, too.
- So, Maja? - Yes?
How long have you been witchin'?
I've been witchin' a while. A while of witchin'.
- Yeah? - Maybe 25 years?
You kind of look like you could be either
at Coachella or, like, a chill yoga instructor.
No black. You're a white witch.
Does that mean that you're a good witch versus an evil witch?
With white magic, it's more about
helping things, empowering people.
- So you're like a witch life coach? - Exactly.
Do people ever come to you and try
to get you to do evil stuff?
- All the time. - Tell me. Tell me all of it.
Most people really want me to hurt their boyfriends for them...
- And you don't do that? - ...or their exes.
No, I totally don't do that.
- Well, our time here is done. - Instead, I encourage them,
you have to be a little evil
if you're gonna try to deal with evil.
- I practice self-defense. - Wow.
I could kick you in your head right now from a sitting position.
I wish you knew how many times in the first five minutes
someone told me they were gonna kick me in the head.
I don't have a hateful spell,
but I do have a spell that might be
a little narcissistic or a little vain,
but I wanna spell that gives me some sort of
extra added layer of self control over the holidays,
so that I am good to my body and I don't get chunky.
So, Maja, I did want to bring something to the mix,
so I brought a box of enchanted crap.
I figured, might as well.
- A copy of "The Craft." - Oh, very important.
You need it in every witch kit.
How do we feel about dreamcatcher?
That's white appropriation of Native American culture,
- so we have to be careful. - I didn't choose that prop.
And I didn't disrespect it, either.
We got a Harry Potter wand.
That's very white European culture.
Great. You're like, let me show you all the people
you're offending with your enchanted crap.
I will get my enchanted crap out of the way,
because I am excited to get started. How do we do this?
We're gonna build an effigy of yourself,
and those are called golems in some cultures.
Like, Gollum, like, "My precious"?
- Sort of. - I'm not gonna lie.
It's looking like we're about to do some arts and crafts.
We're gonna make you out of clay.
Bodies are really just moveable pieces of mud.
And then we kind of disintegrate back into the Earth when we die.
This is dark, and I'm scared of death.
Keep it light, White Witch.
That's pretty much my body type.
That's totally perfect.
Do you do voodoo dolls? That was a tough sentence.
That was a really tough sentence.
Well, this is a voodoo doll that we're doing,
but you can also use it to help.
Make just a big, dark hole.
That's like your belly hole.
And the food that I brought--
Those look like old teeth.
This is frankincense.
It's known as increasing fire and regeneration.
Like, we emit heat.
Oh, girl, I'm a space heater.
Put this in your belly with the intention
that you increase your little stove here
to burn all of those calories.
So I just get some freebies?
A little. Right?
You said too much, Maja.
This is to bind your middle
to keep you from going into excess.
Is this also used so I can hang it
from my rearview so I don't go to In-N-Out?
Stick that on your head.
Crystal technology is the primary source
of all of our telecommunications.
- Wow. - Right?
So we're gonna take this magic crystal wand,
- and we're going to... - Wake up!
...crystalize your intention of not wanting to overdo it.
How long will this last?
- Well, what would you like? - A lifetime.
Do you usually party on New Year's?
Oh, Maja, you have so much to learn about me.
What if this breaks on the 31st?
It's okay. Ready? We'll pinky swear it.
- Does that do anything? - Totally.
It's between you and me.
Promises with friends-- friendship is magic.
All the My Little Pony shows are true and correct.
When two people keep their word to each other,
that's some of the best magic that there is.
Well, Maja, thank you so much for coming,
and humoring me with my spell.
I think a lot of my preconceived notions
- about witchcraft were just-- - Dispelled!
Dispelled. Now, you are expelled,
because I need you to leave.
But, thanks. Nice to meet you.
Now that Maja has left, I thought we could test
to see if the spell actually worked.
So, two choices for me today.
Oh, great, what do we have here?
This is a mushroom milkshake and a margarita.
Great. I hate mushrooms.
I think they are the devil's sponge.
Meanwhile, we have a margarita,
which is made of angel tears.
So this is gonna be a tough one.
This, I should go for. Probably lots of protein.
This, way more fun. Hmm.
What is that?
Yeah, it does look really disgusting.
I agree with you, Tiny Mamrie.
I do feel like I'm gonna have a lot more
self control these holidays,
and I did pinky promise that it would last to the 31st.
But I didn't pinky promise when it would start,
so don't look me in the eye, sweetie.
Oh, that's good!
Happy Holidays to me. Cheers.
Can we get this off set?
Thanks, Mames, but listen.
You could have eaten the mushroom shake.
You could've just sipped a little bit of it.
- Come on. - Next time.
