5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: to every single one of those that comes through the

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: drunk sober, high as a kite, whatever it is, whatever

7

8
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 2: of them make it on the air. If it's good,

9
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 2: we'll play it. If it's not, Yah, who abouna it happens.

10
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 2: Remember we were just talking about AI and the investments

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: and how Oracle just lost a bunch of money. And

12
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 2: that's uh, that's Larry Ellison, right, richest guy in California,

13
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: Larry Elison.

14
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:36,600
Speaker 3: Oracle Investments.

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 2: So remember, Paramount is being run by David Ellison, and

16
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: Paramount put a bid in on Warner Brothers. Netflix put

17
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 2: a bid in on Warner Brothers. Warner Brothers said, yeah,

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 2: we're gonna go with Netflix. I believe it was Comcast,

19
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 2: Paramount and Warner excuse me. Comcast, Paramount and Netflix have

20
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: put the bid in on Warner and and eventually Warner said,

21
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:08,679
Speaker 2: we choose Netflix. Paramount didn't like that, and so they

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: got all together. They put in a cash offer backed

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 2: in part by the Ellison family Trust. See how all

24
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 2: of these topics flow together. Yeah, I try to make

25
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 2: that happen because I'm a a.

26
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 3: What Yeah, yeah, what is it? I am? It's a

27
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 3: CP A complete pro that's why.

28
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 2: So anyway, the bid from Paramount gets criticism from the

29
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: Warner board. The bid from Paramount was a hostile takeover.

30
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,839
Speaker 2: They were saying, okay, Warner Board, you just chose Netflix.

31
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna offer more money and we're gonna go straight

32
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: to the shareholders. It's like watching a season of Succession

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 2: just seeing how all of this plays out among all

34
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 2: of the different In this case, you've got family members

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 2: with Paramount, and interestingly enough, you had a family member

36
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 2: who had a who was backing the Paramount play who's

37
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: also a family member of the president, Jared Kushner. One

38
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 2: of his organizations was offering to put up some of

39
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: the cash for the Paramount bid. So Warner didn't like

40
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 2: Paramount's bid. So the Warner Brothers board has now come back.

41
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 2: First of all, they said, we choose Netflix. Then Paramount said, okay,

42
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: you choose Netflix. We're gonna go to the shareholders. And

43
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 2: then it was kind of a waiting game. What is

44
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 2: the board going to say? This was CNBC discussing just that.

45
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 4: We've been waiting for the response, so to speak, from

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:37,960
Speaker 4: Warner Brothers Discovery to that tender offer we got more

47
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 4: than a week ago from Paramount to acquire Warner Brothers

48
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 4: for thirty dollars a share in cash, and we've gotten

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 4: it this morning. It's a fourteen D nine filing.

50
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 2: Oh yes, the fourteen D nine, seeing my money was

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: on a thirteen L.

52
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 3: Seven.

53
00:02:56,280 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 4: It is, as you might imagine, voluminous. That said, yeah,

54
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 4: and the key points are ones we've been making. And

55
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 4: of course the lead is what no, thank you, Paramount?

56
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 4: Whoa rejecting Paramount's latest bid if you will let thirty

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 4: bucks to share all cash for a variety of reasons,

58
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: many of which we've been discussing over the last a

59
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,399
Speaker 4: few days and.

60
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 3: Over the last week or so. As well run through it.

61
00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: Let me get to specifics, because there are a number

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 4: of them here, and they do focus, certainly, at least

63
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: starting with what they believe is being consistently misled by

64
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 4: That is Paramount consistently misleading Warner Brothers shareholders that has

65
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: proposed transaction has what they call a full backstop.

66
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so this is Warner saying, this is

67
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: why we choose the Netflix bid.

68
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: And I want you to think about this like as

69
00:03:48,560 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 3: anything else in your life.

70
00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 2: If you're trying to sell your house, all right, and

71
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: you got your house listed for I always have trouble

72
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 2: picking a number because I'll pick a number and there's

73
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 2: somebody listening. It's like, who has a house it's worth

74
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: that much? And then I'll pick another number and like

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: who can have?

76
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: You know?

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 2: So, anyway, what's the what's the average home value right now?

78
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 2: It's like around nine hundred thousand ports, say nine hundred thousand.

79
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 2: There we go, okay, so they trying to say, your

80
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: house for nine hudred thousand dollars, and he got somebody

81
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: that comes through and they make an offer for for

82
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: eight seventy, right, and they got somebody else that comes

83
00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: by and they go, oh, I'll make you an offer.

84
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 2: I'll give you eight eighty five all cash. Now, normally

85
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,200
Speaker 2: when it comes to home buying, you take that old

86
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: cash offer. But what if you're concerned that the person

87
00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: making the cash offer doesn't actually have the cash right,

88
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 2: are they a qualified bidder? Basically, and that's what Warner

89
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,760
Speaker 2: is saying. They're not so sure that this cash offer

90
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,480
Speaker 2: from Paramount actually.

91
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 4: Exists from the Ellison family. The Warner Brothers Board of

92
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,159
Speaker 4: directors says it does not, and never has. There is

93
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 4: no Ellison family commitment of any kind. Instead, they propose

94
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 4: that you rely on an unknown and open revocable trust

95
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 4: for the certainty of this crucial deal funding. And they say,

96
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: despite having been told repeatedly why by Warner Brothers how

97
00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 4: important a full and unconditional financing commitment from the Ellison

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 4: family was, and despite their own ample resources, of course,

99
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: pointing to Larry Ellison's one point one billion shares of

100
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 4: Oracle that are in that family trust, as well as

101
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 4: multiple assurances during our strategies.

102
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,720
Speaker 3: Blah blah blah blah blah, get it, get to it.

103
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 4: That's such a commitment was forthcoming. The Ellison family has

104
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 4: chosen not to backstop the Paramount offer.

105
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,080
Speaker 3: Okay, why is this key?

106
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: Basically, what they're saying is, you're offering this cash offer,

107
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 2: but you're not even willing to guarantee the cash offer.

108
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 2: The other part of this, and there were people that

109
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 2: were questioning, is this something that's going to benefit the

110
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,080
Speaker 2: Trump family Jared Kushner. Of course, his investment firm is

111
00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 2: Affinity Partners. They have backed out, so there's another concern

112
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 2: from warnerstand Point one is the money even there two

113
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 2: the whole Jared Kushner being involved in it may have

114
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 2: been a bit tempting because any deal is done, it's

115
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: gonna have to have government approval, and that means you're

116
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 2: gonna have to have the President probably sign off on it.

117
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: If the President signs off on it, probably get him

118
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 2: easier to get him to sign off on something his

119
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 2: sun and law is involved in than it is to

120
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 2: get him to sign off on something that he doesn't like,

121
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 2: especially if it has to do with another another studio

122
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:30,560
Speaker 2: where maybe he doesn't like something that Netflix has put out,

123
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,599
Speaker 2: maybe he doesn't like a documentary they put out, whatever

124
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 2: else it is. So the thinking is having Jared Kushner

125
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 2: involved may have offered some assurances, but now even that

126
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:39,839
Speaker 2: investment for him is bailed.

127
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 3: For perspective, Netflix.

128
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:47,119
Speaker 2: Was offering roughly twenty seven seventy five a share twenty

129
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 2: seven dollars seventy five cents per share. The paramount offer

130
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 2: was thirty bucks a share. So back to our house analogy,

131
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: the person offering you cash is offering fifteen grand more,

132
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 2: or then the person who's not off who's offering a

133
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: you know, a part cash part loan deal. Right, So,

134
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: if you're trying to sell your house for nine hundred thousand,

135
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 2: youve got one offer that comes in at eight seventy

136
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 2: and another one comes in at eight eighty five, you're

137
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 2: in the ballpark. You're probably these are probably both offers

138
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:18,920
Speaker 2: that you're willing to consider. Which one do you want

139
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 2: to deal with? Do you want to go with the

140
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: one that you're pretty sure is solid, or do you

141
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: want to go with the one that's a little bit

142
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 2: more as a premium on it. But part of that

143
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: premium means you're gonna have to deal with a whole

144
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 2: lot of a whole lot of hoktua along the way.

145
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:36,880
Speaker 2: If you're gonna stick with the house analogy, go ahead.

146
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 2: The cash offer also includes covering the house in MAGA stickers.

147
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: Because didn't we know from reporting that Larry Ellison promised

148
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 2: Trump that he would control some of the content to

149
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,520
Speaker 2: savor the Trump's So that is a really interesting point

150
00:07:53,560 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 2: that you make, because President Trump did say, in fact,

151
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 2: I had. I don't know if I still have the

152
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: clip on me. I did have it, I may have

153
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: moved past. It was part of an old story where

154
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: the President said, any deal that's done needs to include

155
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 2: basically revamping CNN, right, And he was saying, look, the

156
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 2: CNN thing's got to go. CNN has to be looked at,

157
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 2: it has to be done. And so, yeah, you had

158
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 2: you had Ellison's going, hey, mister Trump, look we're going

159
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 2: to need your approval. They're they're basically telling him what

160
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,840
Speaker 2: he wants to hear it. Because President Trump has put

161
00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: himself in the middle. This is very rare that you

162
00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 2: would have a president inject themselves in the middle of

163
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,160
Speaker 2: a big merger and acquisition like this, but the President

164
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 2: has decided to do so. And so that's got a

165
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: lot of people saying, what do I need to say

166
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 2: to the president to get the deal done?

167
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 3: Right?

168
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: That's what they're saying. So honestly, I don't care what

169
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:43,719
Speaker 2: the politics are. If the person that buys my house,

170
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 2: if you're gonna give me the money, that's fine, you

171
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 2: do whatever you want. But what is the identity of

172
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 2: the neighborhood and that that might be something that I'm

173
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 2: concerned with, you know, for better or for worse, maybe

174
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 2: I want it, Maybe I maybe I totally agree, and

175
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: I go, yeah, look, i'd be excited to do some revamping.

176
00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 2: I'd be excited to change out CNN. Maybe that's exactly

177
00:09:07,679 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: what I want. But I don't know. I'm a little

178
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 2: bit concerned with that linear product. I've made mention of

179
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,959
Speaker 2: this before, with the with the Discovery, with CNN, with

180
00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:19,120
Speaker 2: the uh.

181
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 5: What is it?

182
00:09:19,480 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 2: TNT that's part of the Warner family, still this sort

183
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: of stuff, and I'm a little bit concerned with where

184
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 2: that stuff goes because I'm just afraid that they can't

185
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: survive and the and the streaming alone. And I don't know,

186
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,880
Speaker 2: I don't know what the future is going to be

187
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 2: of so many different linear TV products. I just don't

188
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: know how they survive moving forward with more and more

189
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:46,520
Speaker 2: people cutting the cord, so to speak. Don't know what

190
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 2: that what that's gonna look like. That's just in general,

191
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:50,600
Speaker 2: but not just a Warner thing. But that's just all

192
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,319
Speaker 2: of it. And if Netflix is not interested in those

193
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 2: linear television products, and they're only interested in the studio products,

194
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 2: then there's no incentive to even give that a second look.

195
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 2: All Right, the grandfather of big award shows speaking of

196
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: linear products is ditching it to.

197
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:07,560
Speaker 3: Go to the internets.

198
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:15,440
Speaker 2: Decades of ritual viewing over and it's headed somewhere. Honestly,

199
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:17,679
Speaker 2: you probably already waste time on every day why it

200
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 2: matters for the future of TV. In Hollywood's Biggest Night

201
00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 2: is next.

202
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI AM six forty on demand.

203
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 2: Chris Merrill AM six forty, more stimulating talk. We'll say

204
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: the jingle Bell rock, while it does.

205
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:37,120
Speaker 3: Not rock.

206
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 2: Is by It is not my least favorite Christmas song.

207
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 2: I put it in the It's okay category. The least

208
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 2: favorite is that Charlie Brown Christmas. I don't know what

209
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 2: your problem is with that? Oh no, but do you

210
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: like that the jazz ones like when they're just walking.

211
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,720
Speaker 2: I like that because it's just relaxing. Yeah, that's cool

212
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,839
Speaker 2: with that. But I hear what you're saying with the kids.

213
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 2: Those are children that needed to be beaten. You are

214
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: maladjusted and borderline insane. That's a classic. I don't care

215
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 2: if it's classic as garbage who called it a classic?

216
00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 2: There were three networks at the time, and that's what

217
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: somebody put out and CBS ran with it, and then

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 2: we were like, oh, it's a classic, we have to

219
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 2: watch it now. The pacing is off. What pacing is terrible?

220
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,280
Speaker 3: Now? Please? Oh it's horrible. Music is barfee, It's terrible.

221
00:11:35,320 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 5: I want you to get the mental help you need.

222
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:38,800
Speaker 5: I'm concerned about you.

223
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 2: I remember looking forward to seeing the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving Special,

224
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,000
Speaker 2: the Charlie Brown Christmas every year when I was a kid.

225
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 2: I just I couldn't wait came out, and then it

226
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 2: came on and I went, God, that wasn't good.

227
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: I wait all year for that.

228
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 5: And they give the trees some love and it blooms,

229
00:11:54,600 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 5: and what's wrong with you?

230
00:11:56,480 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 3: It's just I always wanted to see Snoopy do stuff up.

231
00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 3: Never had enough.

232
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 2: It's a dog. What do you want from the dogs?

233
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 2: Wanted more Snoopy air time? Okay, I didn't care about

234
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 2: those kids' bold weirdos.

235
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:14,359
Speaker 3: You want that Lucy nasty?

236
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,520
Speaker 2: Charlie Brown was exposed to radiation shows. Why did Charlie

237
00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 2: Brown like? Why did Charlie Brown like Lucy? She was

238
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: not attractive?

239
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 3: Well, she was mean to him and some guys get

240
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: off on that. True.

241
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 2: Oh ugly girls mean to me. Oh yeah, this is perfect.

242
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 2: That seems that seems like a great thing. We want

243
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,359
Speaker 2: to teach our kids. Go find the.

244
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:39,360
Speaker 3: The bully, grow up to become a sub. There you go.

245
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 2: I have a very meaningful relationship in the future. Won't

246
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 2: that be great? You guys can go get drunk at

247
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 2: community softball games together. That'll be a lot of fun.

248
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 2: I can see it now. Oscars are moving. They've been

249
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 2: on ABC for forever. They are out skis. According to

250
00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:00,119
Speaker 2: The Hollywood Reporter.

251
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 6: The Oscars, which have aired for decades on ABC, will

252
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,560
Speaker 6: be moving to YouTube starting in twenty twenty nine.

253
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: Wow, that's a coup.

254
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,760
Speaker 6: And continuing through at least twenty thirty three. The Academy

255
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,360
Speaker 6: of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced them.

256
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 3: Thank goodness, we got the swooshes and swoops in the

257
00:13:16,760 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 3: middle of that.

258
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 6: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announce the

259
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,720
Speaker 6: news on Wednesday that is sure to send shock waves

260
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:29,959
Speaker 6: across the entertainment industry. ABC will continue to air the

261
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 6: world's most watch awards show through the one hundred Oscar

262
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,720
Speaker 6: ceremony in twenty twenty eight. News of this deal comes

263
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,760
Speaker 6: after The Hollywood Reporter reported in the cover story earlier

264
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 6: this year that YouTube is intent on becoming quote the

265
00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 6: most powerful platform on earth.

266
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

267
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 2: I think more people are watching YouTube than they are

268
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:49,000
Speaker 2: the networks. Now I watch more YouTube than TV.

269
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: Is that right?

270
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,320
Speaker 2: So are you excited about that? It doesn't really matter

271
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:53,559
Speaker 2: to you would have watched it either way. Well, I

272
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 2: think it's a seismic move. It's easy to blow this off.

273
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 2: It's just no big deal, just industry news.

274
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 3: But it is not.

275
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 5: It's a big I mean, you remember when we only

276
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 5: had three network channels.

277
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 2: I do, and you got stuck with crap like the

278
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,839
Speaker 2: Charlie Brown. Okay, all right, come on, but this is

279
00:14:08,920 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 2: this is a big deal. And I wonder if they're

280
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: still gonna have Kimmel hosted.

281
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 3: Oh good question. That is a really good.

282
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 6: Question, the Academy said in a press release. In part,

283
00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 6: the oscars, including red carpet coverage, behind the scenes content,

284
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 6: Governor's Ball access, and more, will be available live and

285
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 6: for free to over two billion viewers around the world

286
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 6: on YouTube.

287
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 3: Oh it is going to be free. That's great, say.

288
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:36,520
Speaker 2: I was concerned that they were going to say, well,

289
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:40,400
Speaker 2: it's it's for our subscribers, but it's free. So what

290
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,720
Speaker 2: is this is this kind of a this is a

291
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: way to try to pick up subscribers, right, and they're

292
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 2: gonna sell ads on it, just like ABC ever did.

293
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 2: But then they're going to hope that they're exposing a

294
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 2: new audience to their product.

295
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 6: Okay, well that makes sense to me and to YouTube

296
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 6: TV subscribers in the United States. YouTube CEO Neil Mohan said,

297
00:14:59,280 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 6: the Oscars a one of our essential cultural institutions, honoring

298
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 6: excellence in storytelling and artistry. Partnering with the Academy to

299
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 6: bring the celebration of art and entertainment to viewers all

300
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 6: over the world will inspire a new generation of creativity

301
00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:15,320
Speaker 6: and film lovers, all.

302
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 5: Right, or it could make it even less relevant than

303
00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 5: it has been.

304
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 3: That's I mean, that's my concern, right.

305
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: I mean, you've got a you've got a wide access

306
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: even in the remote areas.

307
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 3: And I always think of my hometown. I grew up

308
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 3: in a very rural area and.

309
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 2: I think still, I believe twenty five percent of the

310
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:36,320
Speaker 2: people in my home county don't have access to high

311
00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:42,880
Speaker 2: speed internet because they're just it's backwoods indoor toilets, not

312
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:47,800
Speaker 2: a joke. There are some that don't nice. Yeah, very few,

313
00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 2: there are very few. Most of them have plumbing, but

314
00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 2: there are some that do not. So anyway, yeah, I

315
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,920
Speaker 2: think I think this could be one of those one

316
00:15:55,960 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: of those places where you know, you maybe the ratings

317
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: aren't as high just because you're actually living yourself. Where's

318
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 2: broadcast television still was able to get into those. I mean,

319
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,120
Speaker 2: you had places where people are going to like, well,

320
00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:09,840
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna make sure I got a TV

321
00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 2: before I make sure I got indoor plumbing. You know,

322
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,400
Speaker 2: the kind of people who you know, fall in love

323
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 2: with ugly, abusive women and spend their money on tattoos

324
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 2: instead of mortgages, and then they live in a trailer

325
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 2: their whole lives, like Charlie Brown. That's what you end

326
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:25,760
Speaker 2: up with. And they're not gonna be a wash Oskers now.

327
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: So you look at that. It's the American way. It's

328
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: says Harvey Davidson got it right there. I couldn't get

329
00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 2: the other one because they had like copyrights or something

330
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 2: on it. But it's Harvey Davidson. They use it when

331
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: I ride my motorcycle. He's a Suzuki. Your rapid gifts

332
00:16:46,280 --> 00:16:51,160
Speaker 2: this season? What gifts could actually get you dumped over

333
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 2: the holidays. Okay, what you might want to avoid, or

334
00:16:55,880 --> 00:16:58,480
Speaker 2: if you're trying to get dumped, what you might want

335
00:16:58,480 --> 00:16:59,840
Speaker 2: to pick up while there's still time.

336
00:16:59,880 --> 00:17:00,560
Speaker 3: That's next.

337
00:17:01,120 --> 00:17:04,560
Speaker 1: You're listening to KFI A six forty on demand.

338
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, so I've got a story, and

339
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:13,320
Speaker 2: I my twisted mind works a little bit differently. So

340
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 2: I was reading the story from your tango, and it's

341
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 2: this survey finds gen zers would dump their partner over

342
00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: these five Christmas gifts.

343
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 3: All right, great clickbait title, right, And so.

344
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 2: I think that the idea is we read the story

345
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 2: and then we go, oh, I need to make sure

346
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 2: that I don't make these mistakes. But that's not always

347
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,119
Speaker 2: how it works. You know, I have never broken up

348
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 2: with somebody never. Isn't that something? I never broke up

349
00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 2: with a girlfriend. I got dumped a feut I got

350
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 2: In fact, I got dumped every time. But sometimes I

351
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 2: got dumped and didn't want to be dumped. But then

352
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 2: other times I got dumped and did want to be dumped.

353
00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: And that is because I'm what's known is a butt weasel.

354
00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,520
Speaker 2: You see, if I knew that the relationship was coming

355
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,199
Speaker 2: to an end I would begin to I don't know

356
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 2: what would gen Z call it? Quiet quit my relationship?

357
00:18:11,520 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 2: I'm sure there's a term for it. It's basically the

358
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 2: most cowardly thing that you can do, and that is

359
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 2: that you just sort of stop trying, and as you

360
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:24,199
Speaker 2: stop trying, you sort of put some distance between you

361
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 2: and them until they start to catch on and then

362
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,080
Speaker 2: they go, this isn't working out for me, and then

363
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,200
Speaker 2: they dump you, and you go, oh no, I'm so hurt.

364
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: I'm really sorry. It is absolute cowardice. But I really

365
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,720
Speaker 2: try to avoid conflict. So that's what I did.

366
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 3: If you are a.

367
00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 2: Butt weasel like me, and you're trying to make sure

368
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:48,760
Speaker 2: that the other person doesn't want to be with you anymore,

369
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:52,320
Speaker 2: consider these gifts that would make some people dump their partner.

370
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:57,840
Speaker 2: Uh huh, see how I think about this stuff. I'm

371
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 2: supposed to be telling you what not to buy, but

372
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm im actual gonna tell you how to get dumped

373
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 2: because you're a coward. So number one, buy something that

374
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: doesn't fit. Genius, absolute genius. And can I also just

375
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 2: take this up a notch. Buy something that doesn't fit

376
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 2: that's two size is too big. Oh my gosh, Wow,

377
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:27,959
Speaker 2: that is a butt weasel move right, geeze.

378
00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 3: Like, hey, I got you this.

379
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: I thought it looked really nice, and then like you're

380
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 2: an extra large, right, honey, I have a medium?

381
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, Oh it's the worst. Also, give somebody a scale.

382
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 2: All great, idea, brilliant, brilliant according to you, your tango.

383
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:51,520
Speaker 2: Socks are also a deal breaker, although I don't think

384
00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 2: we are. I think socks are actually kind of fun.

385
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 2: They say, Uh, basic items like socks or underwear can

386
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 2: feel like a letdown from their partners. It feels lazy

387
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 2: and personal or boring, like they didn't want to put

388
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,399
Speaker 2: effort into picking out a nice gift for you.

389
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 4: Yeah.

390
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 2: I think those are fun stocking stuffers. So maybe if

391
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 2: you're trying to get dumped like, socks are not going

392
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 2: to do the trick now. Underwear, on the other hand,

393
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 2: absolutely will do the trick again, get it too big.

394
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,280
Speaker 2: And if you are if you're a dude dating a

395
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 2: woman or I don't know woman dating a woman and

396
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,200
Speaker 2: you're trying to trying to get them to dump you again,

397
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 2: you're a total butt weasel.

398
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 3: Get them unattractive underwear.

399
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,360
Speaker 2: See, if you get them attractive underwear, they might make

400
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 2: the mistake of feeling like you find them sexy, but

401
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 2: if you get them granny panties, you're golden. Also, don't

402
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 2: get sports bras unless you get them a sports bra

403
00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,439
Speaker 2: with a gym membership, which is akin to buying them.

404
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 3: A scale message received Bingo.

405
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 2: Tangle also says getting someone something that's not on their

406
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,800
Speaker 2: wish list is a bad idea. Evidently gen Z feels

407
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 2: like if they have a wish list, then they're entitled

408
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:12,760
Speaker 2: to it, and then they should get it big surprise,

409
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 2: I know, right, a subscription. They say subscriptions are a

410
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,680
Speaker 2: bad idea. Again, if somebody got me a subscription, I

411
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: would not be upset by that.

412
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: I go, oh, that's really cool, thank you. Well, what

413
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 3: sort of subscription?

414
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so they say they don't really get into specifics,

415
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 2: but they do make mention of like the monthly type things.

416
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: They said, monthly deliveries can become clutter in the home

417
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,479
Speaker 2: when products often go unused. So I don't know if

418
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: that's like a you know, I wouldn't think a whine

419
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 2: of the month club would be offensive.

420
00:21:41,640 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 5: Well, if somebody gave me a subscription to Reader's Digest,

421
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 5: I'm not quite sure what I would do with that.

422
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 5: But I gave somebody once a subscription to those masterclass

423
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,680
Speaker 5: videos and I thought that was really cool.

424
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 3: That's useful though, and there's no clutter, right, yeah, yeah,

425
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:57,439
Speaker 3: that's good. I like that.

426
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 2: So my father thought he was really funny. And when

427
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,719
Speaker 2: my wife turned fifty, he bought her a subscription to AARP.

428
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 3: My god, okay.

429
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: And and my wife, I mean, there's a reason I

430
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 2: love her. She's she's incredible. She goes, you am effort,

431
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: She says, this is my father, you m effort. You

432
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 2: think you're funny. I'll show you. I'm gonna use the

433
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 2: s out of this. And she does. And not only that,

434
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,200
Speaker 2: but because she's my wife, I got a membership to AARP.

435
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: It's the day winner.

436
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 2: And according to your tango, agen Zer absolutely does.

437
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:49,400
Speaker 3: Not want a book. Boy, times have changed, haven't they. Figures?

438
00:22:49,520 --> 00:22:50,639
Speaker 3: I love books, they do.

439
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 2: I would think, I mean a decent book, right, the

440
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 2: kids these days, you don't even want.

441
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 3: To book, they say.

442
00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 2: Giving books his presence as presence similar to giving clothes.

443
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 2: It can be hard to know exactly what they like

444
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,439
Speaker 2: or what they already own. See I disagree. I think

445
00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: a book is a great idea.

446
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 5: You give somebody what you would like them to read,

447
00:23:09,320 --> 00:23:12,120
Speaker 5: doesn't it you're sharing experience experience with them.

448
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 3: It sounds like a gen z. I agree.

449
00:23:14,040 --> 00:23:15,919
Speaker 2: And then you kind of personalize it inscribe it in

450
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 2: the middle, like you know, to to my my love.

451
00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 3: You know, I think you'll really enjoy.

452
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 5: This to a complete pro Chris Merrill. Wow, I love

Speaker 3: All right, let's bust her. Okay.

552
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 2: So she's in the other room. She's not listening, so

553
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:09,480
Speaker 2: I know I'm safe now. So here's the deal. My

554
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 2: wife does this whole what do you want for Christmas?

555
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 2: And I go, I really don't want anything, you know.

556
00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 2: She says, you know you always say that.

557
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,800
Speaker 3: I said. The difference between me and.

558
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 2: You is that when when you say you don't want something,

559
00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 2: you want something. And because she's learned that the hard

560
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,359
Speaker 2: way that if she says I don't need anything, I

561
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 2: go okay, and then I don't get her anything.

562
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 3: She goes, you didn't get me anything. Nope. We say

563
00:28:32,600 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: what we mean, We mean what we say.

564
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 2: And so when I say I don't need anything. I

565
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 2: mean it, I don't need anything. I'm happy watching other

566
00:28:40,120 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 2: people open their presence.

567
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 3: That's great. But she always feels like she wants to

568
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:45,239
Speaker 3: give me some That's okay, great. So what does she do?

569
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 3: She goes to my Amazon wish list.

570
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 2: The problem is, I don't use the Amazon wish list

571
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 2: as a place to put things that I want. I

572
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 2: use that as a place to save things for things

573
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,600
Speaker 2: either I need or I'm thinking about getting for somebody else.

574
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,600
Speaker 2: So my father's birthday is like two weeks after Christmas.

575
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 2: So I saw something on there is It was a

576
00:29:07,040 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 2: tool a tool bag, right, and my dad was a tradesman,

577
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:12,840
Speaker 2: so this is a nice tool bag. I know he'll

578
00:29:12,880 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 2: like it. And I picked this out and I was like, oh,

579
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 2: that's really nice. I'm gonna set that aside and then

580
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,520
Speaker 2: I'll get that for dad for his birthday.

581
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:20,320
Speaker 3: After Christmas.

582
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,840
Speaker 2: My wife goes into the wish list and she sees it,

583
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: and then all of a sudden, I get a notification

584
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 2: that says, you know, your tool bag is on the way.

585
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 2: And so she says, hey, I've got some Amazon presents

586
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 2: showing up. Don't open them, but you'll probably see him

587
00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 2: if you go to the cart anyway, it's really hard

588
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 2: to hide things from you. I'm like, I'm like, babe,

589
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 2: I'll do everything I can not too. But of course

590
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 2: I already got I got the notification before she ever

591
00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 2: called me and said, hey, you know your orders is

592
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,040
Speaker 2: on its way. And so I'm in this dilemma. And

593
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 2: I said to my son, I go, I got this problem.

594
00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 2: Your mom got me this bag, this this tool bag.

595
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 2: I don't need it. I actually set it aside for

596
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 2: my from for grandpa. And he goes, well, just tell her.

597
00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 2: I go, oh, no, you don't know your mother. And

598
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,960
Speaker 2: he says, what do you mean? I said, if I

599
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,360
Speaker 2: tell her that she got me the wrong present, she's

600
00:30:06,400 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 2: gonna yell at me for setting her up for failure,

601
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: and then she's gonna yell at me for making her

602
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 2: feel bad about herself. I said, I think I just

603
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: have to take this present and say thank you. I

604
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:19,960
