48
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,680

49
00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,680

50
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:32,680

81
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,560

Speaker 5: They've been really formulated around attractiveness and likes and gamified algorithms,

103
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 5: but you can't do that with the matters of the heart.

104

Speaker 3: the holiday season.

121
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 7: You should know I have a well crafted list already

122
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 7: to go.

123
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 1: You do. I am very I am very surprised.

124
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 7: Yeah, I am in need. This year, I figured holiday

125
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 7: shoppers are digging deeper into their wallets. A new survey

126
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 7: finds that seventy eight percent of those so called holiday

127
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 7: staples gonna cost more this year than last. Nalyst Sarah

128
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,600
Speaker 7: Foster says the best thing you can do is get

129
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,400
Speaker 7: out there and shop early. Try and take advantage of

130
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 7: those early holiday deals because companies are likely to pull them.

131
00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 5: They're probably not going to offer as many discounts as

132
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 5: late into the season as many holiday shoppers saw last year.

133
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,600
Speaker 7: And there goes my whole shopping play.

134
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: There you go.

135
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 7: Late shopping not the thing this year. People plan to

136
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 7: spend American's one trillion dollars from gifts and decorations. That's

137
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 7: the total number here in America.

138
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,440
Speaker 2: A trillion.

139
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 3: To hear that, you know how much that works out

140
00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 3: to per person? No, about a thousand bucks?

141
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: Yeah right, yeah, one thousand dollars. I tell you right now.

142
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: I'm not spending two thousand. We're definitely bringing that curved down.

143
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe I am because missus B does the shopping.

144
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:06,360
Speaker 2: What is your secret Santa?

145
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:11,680
