So 347 00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,840 Speaker 2: I was thumbing through HR brew, which I'm sure most 348 00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:18,760 Speaker 2: of you have probably already read wildly popular. Yeah, it 349 00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: really is. It's it's it's a you don't want to 350 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,200 Speaker 2: go without anyway. So hr brew ran an article about 351 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:28,200 Speaker 2: how you can prepare for the company holiday party and 352 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 2: according to a talent culture consultant, is that a thing 353 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:44,320 Speaker 2: that's made up, that's not real? No, Danny Herrera is 354 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,080 Speaker 2: her name. She said, ambulances had to be called. It 355 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 2: was a whole thing talking about somebody who had a 356 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:51,600 Speaker 2: little bit too much to drink at the holiday party. 357 00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 2: That person fell down the stairs and I think broke 358 00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 2: a leg or something like that. Not great friend, she said, 359 00:17:57,040 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 2: she's seen it all, and you should, you know, be 360 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:06,000 Speaker 2: smart about when you get ready to do your holiday 361 00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 2: parties if you work in HR. Right, So alcohol is 362 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 2: a problem. You should try to limit the amount of 363 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: alcohol that people can access. So what do they do 364 00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,520 Speaker 2: like things like drink tickets. Problem with drink tickets is 365 00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:17,520 Speaker 2: you always have tea totals around. They're always handing their 366 00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:20,760 Speaker 2: tickets off to somebody else like Mark and I because 367 00:18:20,760 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 2: we can hold our liquor. We just know to get 368 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:27,479 Speaker 2: somebody else to drive us home. So they talk about, all, right, 369 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 2: where are we going to do this? Are we responsible? 370 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:29,840 Speaker 4: Yeah? 371 00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 2: You are if it's a company party, even if it's 372 00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:34,359 Speaker 2: off site, you're still responsible that kind of thing. So 373 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:38,480 Speaker 2: if you've done something dumb at an HR excuse me, 374 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,720 Speaker 2: at a Christmas party, I would love to hear your story. 375 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:47,440 Speaker 2: I'll keep you anonymous.

By the way, 547 00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 2: I got word that my company is giving a bonus 548 00:26:58,040 --> 00:27:00,679 Speaker 2: this year, and I got really excited about that, and 549 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 2: I started thinking, Oh, I'm going to build a pool, 550 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: and I was so excited. 551 00:27:04,760 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 4: I started dreaming about a pool. 552 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 2: I started dreaming about where I would put the pool 553 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 2: in the backyard, and I was so excited about that 554 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 2: bonus and then they said the bonus is like fifty dollars, 555 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 2: and I thought, don't just don't tell me that I'm 556 00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 2: getting a bonus. 557 00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 4: You got fifty dollars kidding me. 558 00:27:27,760 --> 00:27:29,840 Speaker 2: I thought it was Clark w Griswold. I thought I 559 00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:31,639 Speaker 2: was building the pool back there. I was getting all 560 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,840 Speaker 2: excited about it. 561 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 4: It's fifty dollars. 562 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 2: You've seen the rate of inflation that goes nowhere, which 563 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 2: is why an awful lot of Americans have decided that 564 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 2: this year the number one request for the holiday is cash. 565 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:53,119 Speaker 2: One in five say they want help paying their bills. 566 00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 2: That would be the ideal present. And they average spending 567 00:27:57,080 --> 00:27:59,199 Speaker 2: this year is over eleven hundred dollars on gifts, but 568 00:27:59,240 --> 00:28:03,000 Speaker 2: they don't expect to get eleven hundred dollars. And why 569 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:08,520 Speaker 2: is that? Because we give gifts to our family, That's why. 570 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,120 Speaker 2: And families are terrible. One children never get you get 571 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 2: your gifts. 572 00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 4: Ever. 573 00:28:14,119 --> 00:28:16,680 Speaker 2: My wife, I said, we got three kids.

But 585 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:46,040 Speaker 2: we're you know, no, they're not supposed to. They're adults 586 00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: with jobs.

I've sent them gift cards. And I 591 00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,640 Speaker 2: didn't said anything to my brother and his wife because 592 00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 2: I did last year and they didn't send me anything 593 00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,000 Speaker 2: and I didn't know. I didn't know we were getting gifts. Okay, 594 00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 2: well then you're not getting anything, so tell you nothing. 595 00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 2: I do tend to always go overboard on my parents too. 596 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:20,640 Speaker 2: I always want to. I feel like, you know, I 597 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:22,479 Speaker 2: don't know, I'm like more Christmases I have with them. 598 00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:23,840 Speaker 2: I want to make sure they know that I'm willing 599 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,320 Speaker 2: to buy their love. Yeah, shoot the works. Yeah, that's 600 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:28,600 Speaker 2: what I do. But most people that don't even want gifts, 601 00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 2: They just go, I just need some help paying bills, man, 602 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 2: that'd be great. Power bills through the roof, still paying. 603 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 2: I got that level pay you know where you pay. 604 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,480 Speaker 2: They take your bill for the whole year and divide 605 00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 2: it by twelve. So my air conditioning bill is stupid high. 606 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,200 Speaker 2: So right now things start to cool off a little bit. 607 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 2: I turned the air off. I'm still paying a ton 608 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 2: every month. Love to have that bill helped out with kind. 609 00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 6: Of say it's a little Dickensian to have people requesting 610 00:29:56,640 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 6: gifts just to help them survive. 611 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:04,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, you say that, but I feel like that's America. Oh, 612 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 2: like George W. 613 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 6: Bush said when the woman told him that she had 614 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 6: three jobs, and he said she was uniquely American. 615 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:17,920 Speaker 2: Uniquely that's exactly right. Yeah, totally it uniquely American. Your 616 00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:22,120 Speaker 2: struggle is patriotic, That's what I'm saying. And the more 617 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:25,920 Speaker 2: I struggle, the more patriotical I feel. So maybe even 618 00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:29,360 Speaker 2: the most patrioticarist of all. Hey, by now you know 619 00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:32,680 Speaker 2: that Nick Reiner, the son of Robin Michelle Singer Reiner, 620 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 2: is charged with their murders. So something that Dia said 621 00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,040 Speaker 2: that I found especially odd considering their politics, which are 622 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 2: pretty well known, kind of made me scratch my head. 623 00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 2: So what Hawkman is doing that seems very Unrhiner is 624 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 2: Next Chris merrill I AM six forty were live everywhere 625 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 2: on the iHeartRadio app 626 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,080 Speaker 1: KFI AM sixty on demand
