Speaker 2: with the low riders and just hear how they're feeling
Speaker 2: and what they have to say. So we were here,
Speaker 2: you were having a conversation about the holidays, and you're
Speaker 2: seeing all the celebrities at this point with the gifting
Speaker 2: and the you know, all of the the the fine
Speaker 2: things that they do for.
Speaker 3: Their significant others.
Speaker 2: Some of the biggest celebrities have been all of it
Speaker 2: down our timeline with the gifts that they've been giving
Speaker 2: that they've been received.
Speaker 3: So we want to know what is too soon.
Speaker 2: How soon it's too soon to buy holiday gifts for
Speaker 2: someone that you were dating.
Speaker 3: So Brandon is here with me, he's on the pod.
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, I'm back.
Speaker 2: So tell the people who you are. I don't think
Speaker 2: we've ever given you like an official title. Brandon produces
Speaker 2: this segment.
Speaker 1: Yes, so I produce this segment. I work with Lauren
Speaker 1: on the Breakfast Club with the Latest and yeah, so
Speaker 1: we decided to do this segment. And we said we're
Speaker 1: gonna do what like once or twice a month?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes we are.
Speaker 2: He was like, you know what, we need to get
Speaker 2: the people more engaged, just like five to eight million
Speaker 2: people on the audio side, you know, just a.
Speaker 3: Little flex before we get into the new year.
Speaker 2: So we decided, you know, we wanted to do more
Speaker 2: to be able to get y'all involved and kind of
Speaker 2: just engage a bit. And coming from radio now, I
Speaker 2: can say that I see how important it is for
Speaker 2: your listeners to feel like they're a part of the show.
Speaker 3: So here we are.
Speaker 2: So we will actually be posting the number via like
Speaker 2: on all my socials, I'm Lauren Lorosa everywhere, but I
Speaker 2: also say it pretty often on the podcast as well.
Speaker 3: Here too, So you guys will know the number. It'll
Speaker 3: be easy calling.
Speaker 2: We'll have it established eventually in later episodes, so you'll
Speaker 2: have that.
Speaker 3: But getting to the.
Speaker 2: Question, how soon it's too soon to buy holiday gifts
Speaker 2: with someone that you are newly dating.
Speaker 1: M okay, So I feel like there's a lot of
Speaker 1: unwritten rules to this. So if y'all are not together
Speaker 1: and it's like real new, maybe y'all talking for a
Speaker 1: few weeks, I don't think they necessarily getting like real
Speaker 1: new like a week like weeks.
Speaker 3: I don't care if you've been talking to me for
Speaker 3: a week, if.
Speaker 1: The like like just started dating, like maybe one or
Speaker 1: two dates, you getting.
Speaker 2: That Christmas you don't got to be like you got
Speaker 2: to buy me a new house, but like something that's
Speaker 2: just like, oh, you know what I mean, I'm enjoying
Speaker 2: conversation with you.
Speaker 3: Here's like a nice perfume or a perfume.
Speaker 2: Or like, I think the the I do think, the
Speaker 2: bigger the gifts can. I wouldn't be mad if it
Speaker 2: depends on the amount of time that you've spend with me,
Speaker 2: because I can understand you not wanting to throw a
Speaker 2: lot of money into someone you barely even know.
Speaker 3: But I think it's a nice gesture.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: And then I feel like, so, what's the time period, Like,
Speaker 2: at what point in a new relationship do you buy
Speaker 2: a gift?
Speaker 3: Like what's the mark?
Speaker 1: I believe maybe like over like two months, like two months,
Speaker 1: then we can get a gift. Or if you'll official
Speaker 1: and it's new, you can get a gift. And even
Speaker 1: like if you're not official, I feel like that even
Speaker 1: depends on what the gift is, Like a grandiose gift
Speaker 1: without a commitment's little odd? What why? All right? All right?
Speaker 1: Explain Maybe I'm tripping. Explain I don't know.
Speaker 2: I mean again, it does have to be like a
Speaker 2: brand new car or house, unless that's how you come in.
Speaker 2: I'm not mad at it. Just make sure you know
Speaker 2: everything is in my name and fully paid for it.
Speaker 2: Don't give me nothing that I got to figure out.
Speaker 2: But I don't think that there's anything wrong with the
Speaker 2: gesture of Hey, it's Christmas. I'm enjoying your company, I'm
Speaker 2: enjoying your voice, I'm enjoying your conversation. Here's something so
Speaker 2: like maybe in those two weeks of conversation I mentioned
Speaker 2: to you, I like to get my nails done at
Speaker 2: a certain place, or you know, I like to eat
Speaker 2: at a certain place, or I'm head on a trip
Speaker 2: for New Year's even.
Speaker 1: I mean, no, that's cool, but I do feel like
Speaker 1: the price point matters.
Speaker 2: Okay, And I'm not mad at that. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: not mad at that whatsoever. I don't think that it's required,
Speaker 2: but I think it would be nice, like dang, that's
Speaker 2: like I also, you know, for this conversation, I always
Speaker 2: think too about like Valentine's.
Speaker 3: Day, and when you're newly dealing.
Speaker 2: With somebody, it's like, when do you guys officially celebrate
Speaker 2: Valentine's Dy to.
Speaker 1: A point where you feel like that makes more sense
Speaker 1: than Christmas. I don't know what it is, but I
Speaker 1: feel like Valentine's they even like, no matter how short
Speaker 1: of the time it is, I think you should do
Speaker 1: something like some type of gesture, dinner, gift. I think
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, But Christmas, I feel like it's more of
Speaker 1: like a family thing. I think maybe that's what I'm
Speaker 1: thinking of. It's more like, you know, it's more familiar.
Speaker 3: I can understand that. I definitely can understand.
Speaker 2: And I also feel like too, there are such a
Speaker 2: family sentimental value of what you're saying, you know what
Speaker 2: I mean?
Speaker 3: That comes to Christmas.
Speaker 2: I know I was reading this People magazine article, not
Speaker 2: in the physical magazine, but I was on People dot
Speaker 2: com and they begin to rank celebrities and like the
Speaker 2: best Christmas tree decorations, and it made me think about
Speaker 2: just how family oriented Christmas is as a holiday, and
Speaker 2: like when you are newly dating someone or having a
Speaker 2: conversation with them, I think that there is like a
Speaker 2: there should be at our big age anyway, there is
Speaker 2: a pause or like a conversation about like when is
Speaker 2: it too early to even introduce you to the people
Speaker 2: I love, like the people that would be surrounded by
Speaker 2: my Christmas tree and be happy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3: But on the top of that.
Speaker 2: List was Jada Pinkett Smith and the Smith and what
Speaker 2: what couch him out, But on the top of that
Speaker 2: list was her. They did a like a very artistic
Speaker 2: like velvet velvet top tree with like a huge star
Speaker 2: on the top. Number three was our broker and Deborah
Speaker 2: Roberts his wife. Kevin Hart was number four with his
Speaker 2: tree and all these trees are like over the top
Speaker 2: right this yeah, this is this year. But all of
Speaker 2: these people and just reading this article and thinking about
Speaker 2: when is it too soon to buyke if I'm like, dang,
Speaker 2: I don't know the last time I've even had to
Speaker 2: think about that, because even in my new relationship, we
Speaker 2: are settled in like when we first started, you know,
Speaker 2: having conversations and like whatever it was that was happening,
Speaker 2: we weren't even in the point like it was just
Speaker 2: around this time, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: So, but y'all like together though.
Speaker 3: Now, but I'm saying last year, but.
Speaker 1: Your business, y'all were dealing with each other for.
Speaker 2: Not at Christmas time, no, like we know since last year.
Speaker 2: We knew each other around that time, but we got
Speaker 2: through Christmas. But but Valentine's Day was.
Speaker 1: Got for Christmas last year.
Speaker 3: That has nothing to do with that because that's not
Speaker 3: where I'm at this year.
Speaker 1: But what did you get? I got things and and
Speaker 1: y'all just.
Speaker 3: Started You're not listening.
Speaker 1: How long were you all dating by last Christmas?
Speaker 3: The person that I'm talking about, Yeah, it.
Speaker 1: Was a few months. Yeah, that's a that's a few months.
Speaker 2: It was still very new and he was still very
Speaker 2: much a lie here and didn't have nothing going on.
Speaker 1: I got something. Yeah, you can't say it.
Speaker 2: It's irrelevant to where I am now because what I
Speaker 2: got had nothing to do with where I ended up,
Speaker 2: because it was just that was all a completely different person,
Speaker 2: and it was also all very material. Like in that situation,
Speaker 2: I knew I was to be receiving things because a
Speaker 2: lot of the basis of.
Speaker 3: Our relationship was very material.
Speaker 2: In this situation I'm in now, I would much rather
Speaker 2: like how things are right now with us. I mean, babe,
Speaker 2: you know, I want my gifts, but I value just
Speaker 2: being able to be with him on the holiday and
Speaker 2: be with his family and get to the meet who's
Speaker 2: important for him. Because that's another thing too. When it's
Speaker 2: a new relationship, you're meeting new people and you know
Speaker 2: you're getting into like what are their holiday traditions. It's
Speaker 2: decorating the tree a big thing. Do y'all get together
Speaker 2: to do that? So like, I am excited about experiencing
Speaker 2: that stuff more than I am about my gifts. But
Speaker 2: I know my man, so I know he got me.
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying. I can say that confidently.
Speaker 2: But we do have a caller on the line, because again,
Speaker 2: we wanted to hear what the people had to say
Speaker 2: about these things. So our caller, who is anonymous, I
Speaker 2: want to know how soon it's too soon to begin
Speaker 2: gifting Bay for Christmas?
Speaker 3: If it's a new relationship. Hi, how are you?
Speaker 4: I'm good?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I want to know you know,
Speaker 2: are you in a relationship?
Speaker 3: I am How new is this relationship?
Speaker 4: It's pretty new? But we were dating for a while.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so he's not a new person, but
Speaker 2: the exclusivity and the intensity.
Speaker 3: Of like we're together is new. Yeah, okay. So did
Speaker 3: you guys spend Christmas together? Yeah? And it was your
Speaker 3: first Christmas together?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: And you guys exchanged gifts? Yeah?
Speaker 4: We did.
Speaker 3: So are you guys under the six month mark?
Speaker 4: We are?
Speaker 3: Okay? All right?
Speaker 2: So at what point were you like, like, for you,
Speaker 2: is there a time limit on? No, we're not getting
Speaker 2: we're not doing the gifts thing. Like if you guys
Speaker 2: had not been one hundred percent together, right, Like, y'all
Speaker 2: are still just dating. It's still very intentional, but there's
Speaker 2: no where you're my boyfriend, I'm your girl friends.
Speaker 3: Would you have exchanged gifts this Christmas?
Speaker 4: I would have because I feel like it depends on
Speaker 4: the rate at which you speak to the person because
Speaker 4: we speak every day. So even if you didn't get
Speaker 4: something grand, it could have been something personal but like
Speaker 4: low pressure for something that you mentioned all the time.
Speaker 4: It could be something small like a candle, your favorite snack. Like,
Speaker 4: it doesn't have.
Speaker 1: To be.
Speaker 4: A grand gift, but I feel like it depends.
Speaker 2: I agree, I think as women though for us it's
Speaker 2: the thoughtfulness. Correct, Is that what you're looking for at
Speaker 2: that point?
Speaker 4: Yeah? And I think that we are just naturally more thoughtful.
Speaker 3: I agree, consideration is baby, get me that every year?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we'll think of like the little things
Speaker 4: that they may not think of.
Speaker 3: So were you happy with your Christmas gifts?
Speaker 4: I was?
Speaker 2: And moving forward right because all right, you got Christmas.
Speaker 2: Y'all need the Christmas tradition and all the things. But
Speaker 2: God forbid this we're not to work. Would you do
Speaker 2: Christmas differently with a new bay because y'all are it
Speaker 2: seems like y'all are pretty early in this situation. Would
Speaker 2: you do Christmas differently with a new bay based on
Speaker 2: if this doesn't work, just trying things new? Do you
Speaker 2: feel like no gifts at Christmas is okay for new relationships?
Speaker 4: So I think just being the person that I am,
Speaker 4: I would just get exist regardless, because I don't think
Speaker 4: I'm going to change the type of person I am,
Speaker 4: even if the situations didn't work out.
Speaker 2: How much money they got to spend in this new
Speaker 2: relationship though, so week, three months, in six months? In
Speaker 2: how much money? Like, what's the what's the average?
Speaker 4: I don't think there's a I don't think there's a
Speaker 4: price limits or put like a a mouth.
Speaker 3: Oh you a good one?
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't expect something huge until like we're
Speaker 4: in a committed relationship and maybe like after the six
Speaker 4: months mark, if that holiday comes afterwards, then I'm like, okay,
Speaker 4: I would need you to use your brain and think
Speaker 4: a little bit. Would you prior to that?
Speaker 2: Would you would you have ended your relationship if your
Speaker 2: person came to you and said, you know what, you're
Speaker 2: pretty new. We haven't even been in a relationship a
Speaker 2: year yet. I don't think exchange and Christmas gifts.
Speaker 3: Make sense.
Speaker 4: When I ended, No, I'd probably argue a little bit though.
Speaker 3: Oh we are you a writer? Okay?
Speaker 4: Because I would need to hear your reason. I would
Speaker 4: need to hear like, because if you know me, you
Speaker 4: know that it doesn't have to be something grand. So
Speaker 4: for you to still not go ahead and get something
Speaker 4: crazy to me, well.
Speaker 3: There we have it. Thank you for coming on the
Speaker 3: line with us. Happy holidays.
Speaker 4: Thank you you too.
Speaker 5: Well.
Speaker 1: I like I like, I like that calling.
Speaker 3: She said exactly what I said.
Speaker 1: I think it's more important to be thoughtful.
Speaker 3: Yes, but thought begins the day you breathe at me.
Speaker 1: They just said it better. They just said it.
Speaker 2: Thought begins the day you breathe at me. The moral
Speaker 2: of the story is if you're breathing my way, especially.
Speaker 1: If you what what you breathe, that that's crazy. He's
Speaker 1: not crazy, you know everybody's.
Speaker 2: But if I have to hear listen, if I've ever
Speaker 2: heard you breathe or saw you blank your eye on FaceTime,
Speaker 2: that is when thought begins. And it's nothing wrong with
Speaker 2: even if it's just like a cute little Christmas card
Speaker 2: and some candies.
Speaker 1: I'm all about thoughtfulness though. That's that's where I like.
Speaker 1: I'm good at thoughtful.
Speaker 2: Men be saying, always be saying again the thoughtfulness, and they
Speaker 2: take the gift back as soon as the thought, oh.
Speaker 1: I don't do that. That's crazy to be taking a
Speaker 1: gift back gives you back. Sis.
Speaker 3: You can't say the other words because it's not you.
Speaker 2: What's the other words that I and the second one, yeah,
Speaker 2: be not gonna get canceled her. You can't say that.
Speaker 2: You know what you saw? Drake was on stream with
Speaker 2: and then and was talking about the car that Quavo
Speaker 2: got for Sweetie that he then said he took back.
Speaker 2: And he said that he bought it back as a gift,
Speaker 2: like he bought it for Quabo as a gift and
Speaker 2: didn't really understand.
Speaker 3: Let's take a listen to that.
Speaker 5: Hey, all right, I'm gonna tell you you remember you
Speaker 5: remember when when when the when the Sweety Badly was
Speaker 5: going viral? Remember that there was an ice blue Beatley
Speaker 5: Uh huh it was Sweety's car.
Speaker 1: Yeah. They said that got it for it.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I was like, oh, like I saw it
Speaker 5: for sale somewhere something.
Speaker 1: And this is like when we were Perst on Steak
Speaker 1: and I was just paper was just running. So or
Speaker 1: maybe it was before that. It was before that, No, it's.
Speaker 5: Around that time, and so I was like, man, just
Speaker 5: I was like I saw hisself like I'm gonna buy
Speaker 5: that back from my dollar. So then I'm like I
Speaker 5: like kind of try to do the same thing where
Speaker 5: I was like I invited him over and I'm like, yo,
Speaker 5: come over to this party. I parked the whip right
Speaker 5: in the front. But you did buy it.
Speaker 1: I bought it for him.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I was like he pulled up like he's
Speaker 5: like no, like he thought he thought she was there,
Speaker 5: But what do you say?
Speaker 1: What do you say? Shout? But he really didn't.
Speaker 2: Understand speaking of giving things back, First of all, I
Speaker 2: think it was I really think it was corny Drake
Speaker 2: to share this story.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Way, so he bought it from Sweetie and give
Speaker 1: it back to Quevo.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, That's why I said when I
Speaker 2: call her was talking to us. Remember I said, make
Speaker 2: sure everything is all the notes and all that is right,
Speaker 2: and I actually own it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3: It couldn't have ever been fully.
Speaker 1: Like, oh that's that's a little like shady than to
Speaker 1: do that, right, Like I can actually buy it.
Speaker 2: Yes, but don't get me nothing that you can give back,
Speaker 2: like what And it was like I remember when this
Speaker 2: went down, So it was it was ice Blue Bentley.
Speaker 3: He got it. He got this.
Speaker 2: Gift for sweety and Christmas. Christmas of December December Christmas
Speaker 2: of twenty twenty, and it had like it was customized.
Speaker 2: She had like the icy snowflakes and border on it,
Speaker 2: like the headsets, and it was really cute for them.
Speaker 2: It was a fine moment she bought because people were
Speaker 2: always trying to make it seem like Sweety was getting
Speaker 2: more out of relationship than he was. But I remember
Speaker 2: she returned the gift later on and like bought him
Speaker 2: some cars as well too, like he was, I guess,
Speaker 2: really into old schools and stuff like that. But I
Speaker 2: think number one, it was corny for Drake to tell
Speaker 2: us that he did that. I also think that taking
Speaker 2: a gift back like a car that you buy, Yeah,
Speaker 2: I think it's it's very like corny. I also think
Speaker 2: it's it's just a controlling It's like something that you
Speaker 2: can you.
Speaker 3: Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But I've never been in that situation that allegedly Quavo
Speaker 1: was in, where like she cheated on you with somebody
Speaker 1: you may know, and like, I don't know, I've never
Speaker 1: been hurt to that that extent, So I don't know
Speaker 1: what I would do in that situation. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: but I would hope I wouldn't.
Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure that no relationship is perfect, you know
Speaker 2: what I mean, Like I don't.
Speaker 3: We don't know everything that went down.
Speaker 2: There have been allegations of like you know, Sweetie doing
Speaker 2: certain things, OFFSET or whatever, and I know things have
Speaker 2: been you know, OFFSET has spoke out and tried to
Speaker 2: clear it up or whatever. But I think you don't
Speaker 2: know all of the details into a relationship ever.
Speaker 3: But I just feel like if you're gonna.
Speaker 2: Buy me something, especially something as big as a car
Speaker 2: is different if it's like a little necklace or whatever,
Speaker 2: but as big as a car, Like if you standing
Speaker 2: on that stand on it, Yeah, let me go up
Speaker 2: by my business in my car.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Cheating, that's the very mature thing.
Speaker 2: Do you gave somebody your gifts and you don't really
Speaker 2: feel that way? No man feels that.
Speaker 1: We know I do, But I just know it's like
Speaker 1: that sounds good in theory, but if somebody really hurts
Speaker 1: you in a real way, like you'd want to not
Speaker 1: hurt them back, but like you wouldn't want them to
Speaker 1: enjoy something like that that you gave them, like just
Speaker 1: riding around Smilod another dude in the past seat, Like
Speaker 1: I don't know, I don't know, or letting another do
Speaker 1: borrow the car, and I feel like that would add
Speaker 1: insult to injury. But the mature thing to do is
Speaker 1: definitely just leave the gift and let them have it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, listen, there was speculation back then that the
Speaker 2: car was repossessed. Drake basically just confirmed that the car
Speaker 2: was taken back me. You know, all the things have happened.
Speaker 2: I just we could deal without this news heading into
Speaker 2: our new year, is all I'm saying. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: but the news is there, and we will talk about
Speaker 2: it and we will report it, of course.
Speaker 3: So thank you Drake, and thank you Stake for that stream.
