1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,200
Speaker 1: Christmas season. We always like to have fun with Christmas.

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:08,040
Speaker 1: So you want to get into controversial Christmas takes takes

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 1: eight seven, seven, nine, three seven one to four seven Isabella.

4
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning.

5
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: You have a controversial Christmas take.

6
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I guess so. My family really didn't

7
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 3: do Christmas list, and I've kind of carried that with me.

8
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 3: I noticed that a lot of people end up just, oh,

9
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 3: what do you want for Christmas? Oh, I'll give you

10
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,160
Speaker 3: a list, and then if it's not on the list,

11
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 3: people just get kind of so upset, And then that's

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 3: not really how I feel that Christmas was. I love

13
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 3: this time of the year where you just get together

14
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 3: with your family and have a great meal and share

15
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,320
Speaker 3: some stories about what's happened and the times next amount

16
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 3: of time, and you just kind of bond together. You

17
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 3: play some games, you have fun. But gifting to me

18
00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,800
Speaker 3: is more just about like if you walk past them

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 3: in the store and you something that just seems aunt poky,

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 3: and you just want to grab that for them and

21
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 3: share that moment with them, you know, and just tell

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 3: them like, yeah, I walked by and I remembered tell

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 3: them the story about a lizard when we were kids,

24
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: and this just reminded me of that, and it made

25
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 3: me feel so special. I need you have this. That's

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 3: what I love about gifting and things. So for Christmas

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: it all kind of feels forced these days. And I

28
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: just never know what to do with my hands when

29
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: I'm supposed to up as a gift, and it just

30
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 3: doesn't feel I don't know, it's as light as it

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 3: used to be when I was a kid.

32
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: Don't use your hands to open the gifts.

33
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 3: It's so awkward. You're like, Okay, am I to be

34
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 3: really excited? Am I supposed to small?

35
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: Big?

36
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 3: What am I supposed to do here? You know? And

37
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 3: then it's just it's all flat a little bit.

38
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 1: That's a good take.

39
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: But you were saying you like to get together, eat

40
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 2: food and tell stories and play games. That's Thanksgiving.

41
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 3: That's my great aunt. She would have us all together

42
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 3: at her house and she would do like her own

43
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: version of White Elephants. So she would buy all the

44
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 3: gifts so that nobody could bring anything too weird because

45
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: one year they brought a fish. And she would just

46
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 3: bring nice from all over the world because she travels

47
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 3: a lot, and she would have us big numbers and

48
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 3: you could steal it from somebody else, and there would

49
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 3: be games like Christmas Trivia, so like how many candy

50
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 3: canes are sold the year and you'd guess, and the

51
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: closest one got this really big prize, and we'd all

52
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 3: just get together and sing, and my great uncle would

53
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: dress up as Santa and pass out some.

54
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: Gifts and it just okay, hold on, you never had

55
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:39,800
Speaker 1: it when you were a kid. You didn't come up

56
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: with a Christmas list because I think lists of her kids.

57
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: No, No, I didn't my my grandparents because we grew

58
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: up at my grandparents' house. They just they just made

59
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: it so radical you were counting down to this time.

60
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 3: It wasn't really about like, oh, what you wanted. It

61
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 3: would just like spread out all these random gifts, which

62
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 3: sometimes were just things that you needed. My stocking needs

63
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: to be filled with, like tooth brushes and things like that,

64
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 3: but something different where it was kind of funny and

65
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 3: like those chocolate coins. I got to see what they

66
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: thought that I would want.

67
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:16,359
Speaker 1: Ida, Yeah, thank you. Nate. Do you have a controversial

68
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,800
Speaker 1: take on Christmas?

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think it should be controversial, but

70
00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 4: according to my wife, it is.

71
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: What's that I think this.

72
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 4: Whole everybody giving gifts as a family, as we're all adults,

73
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,519
Speaker 4: is just incredibly dumb, because it's like, say, you set

74
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:32,519
Speaker 4: a limit at fifty dollars, and I buy you a

75
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 4: fifty dollars gift and you buy me a fifty dollars gift.

76
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 4: We both know what the other one's gonna get us

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 4: because we put it on a list. So why don't

78
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: I just take my fifty bucks by the thing I want.

79
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 4: You take the fifty bucks by this thing you want.

80
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 4: Everything's good to go. If you got you know, five

81
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 4: people and you're spent three hundred dollars on Christmas, I

82
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 4: could add that to my other you know, three or

83
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 4: five hundred dollars, and by that eight hundred dollars item

84
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,840
Speaker 4: I've wanted all year that I've been putting off. I

85
00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 4: just don't understand the whole gift givings. Everybody knows what

86
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: they're getting, why do it?

87
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: I get it?

88
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 4: For kids? Kids is a different story. Totally cool with that,

89
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 4: But as adults, enjoy the company, enjoy family, go do

90
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 4: something as a family, you know, make use of the money.

91
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: Receiving gifts is not his love language, and Isabella could

92
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 1: be related.

93
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's kind of point there. It's like I

94
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: could actually get something that I want for the fifty bucks,

95
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: and you can get something you want, and then we're

96
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: all good. We're all adults here. I get what he's

97
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: saying and then party some other way.

98
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 4: And it would be no different than like me giving

99
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,839
Speaker 4: you fifty dollars and you give me fifty dollars. What

100
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 4: did you accomplish? Absolutely nothing. At the end of the day,

101
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 4: you already still had fifty dollars.

102
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: I hope.

103
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 3: Every year, Well, you should follow Isabelle's rule and say

104
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: no lists, and then it will be a surprise.

105
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: Well, see it, Like that's the thing. Like my we

106
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 4: went to the farmer's market. I'm in Tucson and my

107
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 4: wife and I went to the farmer's market a couple

108
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: of weeks ago, and there was a lady selling blown

109
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,479
Speaker 4: glass hummingbirds. My wife thought and said, oh, your mom

110
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 4: would love that. That's the kind of gift that can

111
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 4: understand for Christmas. But the forest idea, you know, it's Christmas.

112
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 4: We have to give everybody a gift who seems ridiculous?

113
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: All right, Nate, thanks brother, thanks for listening. Speed A

114
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:16,960

115
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 1: to me, so she wanted to go out the other day. Slowly,

116
00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: we went to a farmer's market that I hadn't been

00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: but it was corn bread and in between the corn

121
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,480
Speaker 1: bread was melted cheese. So it was like a pancake

122
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: corn bread melted cheese sandwich. Ye I know, I know,

123
