0:00:00.320 --> 0:00:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I cannot wait to read comments after today's brand new episode.

0:00:03.440 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 2>Hey, welcome to your second Day podcast.

0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>It's Brook and Jeffrey in the morning, and it's Tuesday,

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.879
<v Speaker 1>which means you're getting a real awkward Tuesday phone call today.

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>But first, what do we have In the comment section?

0:00:13.480 --> 0:00:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Elle Heath said, Dudes, I'm back after over six months

0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:19.520
<v Speaker 1>of not listening because I got to listen to all.

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.560
<v Speaker 2>Of them since twenty twenty two and I needed more

0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:22.320
<v Speaker 2>than one a day.

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 3>Ye, Hey, I'm back. You're back.

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:26.320
<v Speaker 2>You got a lot to catch you waiting.

0:00:26.560 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:29.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't want to get to attached because you're gonna

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 3>be attached.

0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>To our hair for like three months and you're gonna.

0:00:31.520 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 3>Go be gone again.

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>It is a cyclical.

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:35.239
<v Speaker 3>It's a game of yo yo.

0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:39.199
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's okay to stay. Came here, I'll hold you.

0:00:39.600 --> 0:00:41.440
<v Speaker 2>They're not going to hear this for six months. Yeah,

0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:45.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry. All right, your brand new episode stars right now.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:51.159
<v Speaker 3>Mom groups are notoriously super kind to each other. They

0:00:51.280 --> 0:00:56.240
<v Speaker 3>never talk behind each other's backs. They don't weaponize politeness, nope,

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.600
<v Speaker 3>and if an issue ever arises, they always handle it

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 3>by talking it out respectfully, totally politely. Right, Brooke.

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:05.520
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, bless her heart.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 3>It's weird because today we are from a dad who

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:15.160
<v Speaker 3>has been nominated as the spokesperson by all the ticked

0:01:15.160 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 3>off moms and his wife's friend group. Uh oh, and

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:22.120
<v Speaker 3>his mission is easy. Just confront another mom about her

0:01:22.200 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 3>kid's birthday party. Could go wrong. It's your brand new

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:29.520
<v Speaker 3>awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:31.959
<v Speaker 4>Next, it's awkward.

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.839
<v Speaker 2>It's Tuesday.

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 4>It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:37.319 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 3>Now. Back in the day, And when I say back

0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:41.800
<v Speaker 3>in the day, I mean like twenty five to thirty

0:01:41.880 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 3>years ago, kids were still having birthday parties at McDonald's.

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Oh my god, yes, yeah, on the playgrounds.

0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:51.920
<v Speaker 3>The playplaces, you could spend twenty five bucks on a

0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 3>giant platter of cheeseburgers and fries, and then Grimace would

0:01:55.880 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 3>bring out a cake and sit on it in front

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 3>of everybody, and I'll go, yeah, who wants to live?

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 3>But my, oh my, how times have changed because parties

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.400
<v Speaker 3>for kids nowadays are big business.

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.400
<v Speaker 1>It's seriously like, I go to some of these of

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.639
<v Speaker 1>my kids, I'm like, how many impersonators do you guys

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:13.600
<v Speaker 1>need at one place?

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:16.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's already Ariel here. Do we need the entire

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:17.760
<v Speaker 2>Disney Princess crew.

0:02:17.960 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 3>It's hard to meet parents that love their children more

0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.359
<v Speaker 3>than you do. I get that, but it has caused

0:02:22.360 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 3>a situation for one of our listeners who's come to

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:28.519
<v Speaker 3>us seeking our advice. His name is Kenny, So, Kenny,

0:02:28.760 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 3>Welcome to the show Man.

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.080
<v Speaker 4>Hi, Hi, Kenny.

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 2>We're good. I'm curious to hear. What's going on? Is

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:36.520
<v Speaker 2>this with your own kids?

0:02:37.240 --> 0:02:39.799
<v Speaker 4>Yeah? Yeah, well for starters, I really love you guys,

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.480
<v Speaker 4>listen every day.

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:42.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh I thought you were going to start with I

0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 2>really love my kids, but.

0:02:45.560 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 3>We'll take the praise first. Yes, absolutely, what's going on right?

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.120
<v Speaker 3>We hear you have some birthday party drama? Tell us

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:52.560
<v Speaker 3>about it.

0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so my kids six and seven were invited to

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 4>a birthday party, and know I'm thinking, hey, this is

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 4>pretty cool. It's great for the parents to get to

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:08.600
<v Speaker 4>know each other, and it's in the community and everything perfect.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.240
<v Speaker 2>Oh and it's so nice that you have kids so

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 2>close in age.

0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it probably was a pain when they were

0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a baby, but now you can send them to parties

0:03:14.919 --> 0:03:15.840
<v Speaker 1>together all over the.

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 3>Plato for one, yes, Brooks looking as a bargains a

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 3>business woman.

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 2>My kids are three years different, so it's a little bit.

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, you can't question yet.

0:03:28.480 --> 0:03:32.360
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, well, here's the thing, So the marvel did the

0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 4>invite only matter about twice. She's friendly with my wife

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.040
<v Speaker 4>and everything, but she sent a really interesting invite for

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 4>a six year old party. Interestingly, well, it had all

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.920
<v Speaker 4>the details, you know, bouncy house, popcorn, fun and games

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.640
<v Speaker 4>and all of that jazz. But at the very bottom

0:03:54.720 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 4>of the invite it said, if you plan to sing

0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:01.680
<v Speaker 4>your child, please send with money for tip bucket to

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 4>go toward party expenses and food and games and things

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 4>of that nature.

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.880
<v Speaker 3>It's asking to bring cash with your kid.

0:04:10.120 --> 0:04:13.080
<v Speaker 2>Wait, is there an entertainer or are they tipping the parrot?

0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 4>It's unclear. It just says cash tips.

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:18.080
<v Speaker 2>That's weird.

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Huh. Yeah, I don't go to kids parties, but I

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.799
<v Speaker 3>feel like I see the logic behind it. Brook. You're

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:27.440
<v Speaker 3>immediately jumping on it's weird. Do you think it's tacky

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 3>to ask a guest to bring tips or are we

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 3>at the point in society where it's okay for tipping

0:04:33.160 --> 0:04:35.960
<v Speaker 3>to be involved in everything. Culture is getting out of control.

0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 2>There are so many different ways you can have a

0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:39.120
<v Speaker 2>kid's party. You can do them.

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Literally, the cheapest end and the kids are happy. If

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you can't afford to throw these elaborate parties, then that's fine,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>don't The kids don't care.

0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.440
<v Speaker 3>But they might be happier if the party costs more money.

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't think so. They might not have children work.

0:04:52.800 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>Usually if you give them a present, it's the box

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>they're more excited about.

0:04:58.279 --> 0:04:59.039
<v Speaker 2>It's not a lie.

0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.279
<v Speaker 3>What was your reading your your wife's read on it?

0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Kenny? Well, my wife she doesn't like it, but she

0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:09.120
<v Speaker 4>doesn't want to be confrontational. So I've been charged with

0:05:09.440 --> 0:05:12.000
<v Speaker 4>being a guide to say something to her about this

0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:14.920
<v Speaker 4>because here's the Yeah, here's the reality.

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>Your wife wants you to call the mom that is

0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:19.599
<v Speaker 1>throwing this party and ask her about it.

0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:05:19.839 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 3>I thought that she was the one who was friends

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 3>with her.

0:05:22.560 --> 0:05:26.320
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but my wife she's really easygoing and she doesn't

0:05:26.400 --> 0:05:30.919
<v Speaker 4>like anything confrontational at all. So my thought process is

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:35.039
<v Speaker 4>honestly to reach out to you guys, because I can't

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 4>do that by myself.

0:05:36.520 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 3>Okay, So your wife has asked you to do it.

0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.720
<v Speaker 3>Does she know that you've come to us seeking help?

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:45.280
<v Speaker 4>No she doesn't.

0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:46.960
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Okay, behind.

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:50.119
<v Speaker 1>Your wife's dead, do you know what your wife wants

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>out of this phone call.

0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 4>Well, number one, she wants to remain friends with her,

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:58.280
<v Speaker 4>because all of these moms are friends in this frame

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 4>thing that they have. And number two, I feel like

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.840
<v Speaker 4>I need to tell this lady about this whole tipping

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 4>thing because none of the other moms are going to

0:06:09.120 --> 0:06:12.280
<v Speaker 4>be comfortable with this, you know, sitting their kids with money.

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>Honorary Mom group spokesperson, Yeah, yeah, have we considered who

0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:17.760
<v Speaker 1>we're calling?

0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:18.760
<v Speaker 4>Can we just call the kid?

0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 3>I can tell your mom that we're not bringing.

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 2>This the almost six year old.

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:24.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah.

0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 3>So do you know the mom's name?

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 4>We call her Tosh. I call her Tosh, we call her,

0:06:30.920 --> 0:06:32.400
<v Speaker 4>but her full name is Natasha.

0:06:32.560 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 3>Okay, And the good news is moms love it when

0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:37.640
<v Speaker 3>a man tells them what they're doing wrong with their parenting.

0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 3>That always goes well.

0:06:39.240 --> 0:06:41.479
<v Speaker 4>So well yeah, well you know, honestly, that's why I

0:06:41.520 --> 0:06:42.280
<v Speaker 4>called you guys.

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we'll take the blame if it goes badly.

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:47.800
<v Speaker 2>Hey, should we call it other show? Yeah?

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.640
<v Speaker 3>Maybe ye. Let's keep passing it on. Well, we'll see

0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 3>if we can come with some advice before we come back.

0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.960
<v Speaker 3>Let you call this other mom Tosh and tell her

0:06:58.120 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 3>maybe don't ask all the parents to tip her kid's birthday,

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 3>because if that's the case, there could be no kids

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>coming at all. Yes, let's see how that message goes

0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:09.720
<v Speaker 3>with your awkward Tuesday phone call right after that, it's awkward.

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:11.640
<v Speaker 2>It's Tuesday.

0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 4>It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:07:14.760 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 3>If you're just joining us. We talked about birthday parties

0:07:17.520 --> 0:07:20.720
<v Speaker 3>and how much they've changed over the years, but this

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 3>is a new wrinkle we really haven't seen yet. Because

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 3>a birthday invitation came in for our listener, Kenny's kids.

0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:30.880
<v Speaker 3>It seemed like overall a normal house party sort of deal,

0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.320
<v Speaker 3>but at the very bottom of the invite it said

0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:37.560
<v Speaker 3>send a cash tip along with your child. Huh yeah,

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.160
<v Speaker 3>for party expenses.

0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:40.600
<v Speaker 4>And you know, at.

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.560
<v Speaker 1>First I was like, oh, rude, But now I'm like, oh,

0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe I should start doing this.

0:07:46.440 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 3>I just kidd I get it. When Kenny saw it,

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:53.640
<v Speaker 3>he thought it was strange. His wife was definitely bothered. Yeah,

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:55.440
<v Speaker 3>and she talked to a bunch of the other moms.

0:07:55.480 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 3>They all seem to be upset.

0:07:56.880 --> 0:07:58.840
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, they don't even want to send their kids if that's.

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 3>The case, which is why they've nominated Kenny as their

0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 3>sacrificial Lamb chosen to make a phone call to this

0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.600
<v Speaker 3>other mom saying, if you don't rescind the tipping requests,

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 3>there may end up being no kids at this party

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 3>at the end.

0:08:12.080 --> 0:08:12.440
<v Speaker 4>Of the day.

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 2>I got to say it that way.

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:18.880
<v Speaker 3>We're just gonna strongly imply it. Yeah, that her child

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.120
<v Speaker 3>will be very, very hurt by this. So it's interesting.

0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 3>I've never heard about a situation like this before, so

0:08:24.480 --> 0:08:26.560
<v Speaker 3>I can't wait to get some advice for you, Kenny Brook.

0:08:26.560 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 3>What do you think?

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>At first, I was like, oh my god, I can't

0:08:28.560 --> 0:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>believe they're making you do it, And then I realized

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 1>you're the perfect.

0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:33.640
<v Speaker 2>Person for this call. Kenny.

0:08:33.800 --> 0:08:37.719
<v Speaker 3>Why yes, because you're the one that can play the

0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:39.000
<v Speaker 3>dumb dad card.

0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, they didn't see the invite, they didn't get

0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>the email, they didn't know anything. And he happened to

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>overhear some other moms saying something about a tip.

0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:52.560
<v Speaker 2>So you're just calling the source to figure it out

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 2>since you have to do the drop off.

0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:59.760
<v Speaker 1>You're confused, you know, get more info, you hear me, Kenny, Okay, yes,

0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:02.400
<v Speaker 1>and you're giving her a little inside that the moms

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:03.559
<v Speaker 1>are talking behind.

0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:05.480
<v Speaker 3>Her back, all right, Kenny. So you're gonna be the

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:09.320
<v Speaker 3>dad that doesn't really pay attention to his own children. Yes,

0:09:09.480 --> 0:09:11.040
<v Speaker 3>can you pull that off? Jeff's got it?

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 2>What man can't?

0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Can you be yourself?

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 4>Ken? I can absolutely do that.

0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 3>All right? The stupidity coming through already. What about you, Jose,

0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:25.280
<v Speaker 3>what do you think? All right, here's a strategy that

0:09:25.320 --> 0:09:27.280
<v Speaker 3>might help get you what you want. You need to

0:09:27.400 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 3>ask how much is she looking for as a tip?

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 2>Like from each family?

0:09:32.559 --> 0:09:35.400
<v Speaker 3>Then you say, oh wow, that's a lot. Okay, uh,

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:38.080
<v Speaker 3>I think we can do it. We may just have

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 3>to take it out of their college.

0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:43.520
<v Speaker 2>Fund, but oh, that's doable for our family. Guilt her?

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 2>What the number is so poor? You can't afford the

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:47.520
<v Speaker 2>five dollar tip?

0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:49.199
<v Speaker 3>I think it's a bold strategy. What do you think

0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 3>about trying the guilt method? Just a little bit, Ken.

0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 4>That can work too, Okay, actually a little better?

0:09:55.600 --> 0:09:59.760
<v Speaker 2>Oh yeah, yay, fine, the only mother in the room.

0:09:59.800 --> 0:10:01.840
<v Speaker 2>But young Head's so true, I don't even.

0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:04.120
<v Speaker 3>Have fine, you know what? I like this. All the

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 3>men are sticking together, all those dumb idiots that don't

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 3>know what the heck is going on.

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, guarantee you did not read the invite.

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.880
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if any of that advice actually helps you, Kenny.

0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.680
<v Speaker 3>But it's the best we got. So we're gonna dial

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 3>this other mom. Natasha will step away and let you

0:10:21.800 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 3>make your awkward Tuesday phone call. Are you ready?

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.839
<v Speaker 4>Okay? Well, this kind of feels like the Titanic when

0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:30.920
<v Speaker 4>it was being launched, but it's a fan fan.

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:35.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we got one lifeboat and the captain men first.

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.439
<v Speaker 3>Here we go different.

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:40.079
<v Speaker 4>Right now?

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 5>Hello, Hi, dumb.

0:10:53.520 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 4>Guy, Hi Tush? Who? Yes it is This is Hey Josh.

0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 4>This is Kenny. How are you Kenny? Who? Yeah, Kenny,

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 4>your lundest husband. You invited our kids to the birthday

0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.640
<v Speaker 4>party that you're having for your son.

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.400
<v Speaker 5>Okay, what can I help you with?

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 4>Oh? Well, great, Toosh? Are you? Are you having a

0:11:23.880 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 4>good day? How's it going?

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:31.240
<v Speaker 5>My banking is going fine? What's the raising for this car?

0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.559
<v Speaker 5>I'm sorry, I'm just a little confusers to why you're

0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:35.000
<v Speaker 5>calling me.

0:11:36.800 --> 0:11:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Oh, this is nothing major, you know. It's actually given

0:11:42.040 --> 0:11:45.920
<v Speaker 4>a call about the invite that you sent over, really

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:48.480
<v Speaker 4>really great invite. Actually you're gonna have the bouncy house

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:49.520
<v Speaker 4>for isn't everything?

0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:52.920
<v Speaker 5>Okay? If you call in to ask about if you

0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 5>could drop your kids off, that's fine, just drop them off.

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 5>You can pick them up a few hours later. That's cool.

0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Oh well, that adds another layer to this. I really

0:12:02.520 --> 0:12:04.800
<v Speaker 4>don't drop my kids off and leave them. But that's

0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 4>not why I was calling. So that's just given a

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:16.160
<v Speaker 4>call about the line and the invite about the tip bucket.

0:12:17.120 --> 0:12:20.680
<v Speaker 5>What did you say about the way about the tip bucket?

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:25.080
<v Speaker 5>There's no damn tip bucket, they're just tits.

0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:31.440
<v Speaker 4>Well, well that's the thing. You know, how much of

0:12:31.480 --> 0:12:34.440
<v Speaker 4>a tip were you expecting six and seven year olds

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 4>to bring?

0:12:35.200 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 5>Oh well, you're the parent, they're not bringing it.

0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:40.280
<v Speaker 2>You are.

0:12:40.360 --> 0:12:42.719
<v Speaker 5>You're not leaving your kids from what you just told me,

0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:45.320
<v Speaker 5>So okay.

0:12:44.960 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 4>So how much you're thinking for this tip jar thing situation?

0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 5>Don't you think that's kind of rude to ask, like,

0:12:52.120 --> 0:12:55.120
<v Speaker 5>I mean, what do you think is a good tip?

0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:57.360
<v Speaker 5>When you go somewhere and get a service?

0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 4>What do you tip? Oh? Well, I I never knew

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 4>of a birthday party to be a service. But you know,

0:13:04.760 --> 0:13:07.880
<v Speaker 4>it's just I'm just asking, did you think is to

0:13:07.960 --> 0:13:10.160
<v Speaker 4>be looking at what five bucks here?

0:13:11.240 --> 0:13:12.960
<v Speaker 5>I mean, you could put five hours in there. But

0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.400
<v Speaker 5>you're talking like you're the brokie, like you're the tap.

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:21.080
<v Speaker 4>Mom, Well, we're not broken at all. I actually have

0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.959
<v Speaker 4>a pretty good job and my wife.

0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.400
<v Speaker 5>I can't tell about the way you're calling is and

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.680
<v Speaker 5>we've been talking about a ship for five minutes. I

0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:28.400
<v Speaker 5>cannot tell.

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:35.199
<v Speaker 4>Well, well, you know, this is starting to get a

0:13:35.200 --> 0:13:38.199
<v Speaker 4>little stressful and the awkward. You're stressing yourself.

0:13:37.840 --> 0:13:40.079
<v Speaker 5>Out, stressing yourself out, can't he be? Could you call

0:13:40.200 --> 0:13:41.000
<v Speaker 5>me about the take?

0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:45.960
<v Speaker 4>You're right, you're right. How about I just meimo? You

0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:49.600
<v Speaker 4>you know, like forty five fifty bucks? How does that sound?

0:13:51.640 --> 0:13:53.840
<v Speaker 5>That's the best offer. We can't go a little higher?

0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:57.920
<v Speaker 5>Since you that's the best you got.

0:13:59.200 --> 0:14:00.160
<v Speaker 3>How are we doing this right?

0:14:00.360 --> 0:14:03.280
<v Speaker 4>Right? Higher? I guess I could.

0:14:05.160 --> 0:14:06.439
<v Speaker 2>Get that phone?

0:14:07.160 --> 0:14:10.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Tasha, Natasha, are you hearing us?

0:14:11.400 --> 0:14:14.000
<v Speaker 5>Yes? Who else is on the phone?

0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:16.480
<v Speaker 3>We're a radio show. We're called Brook and Jeffrey in

0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:19.240
<v Speaker 3>the Morning. Oh, Kenny's a listener, a.

0:14:19.200 --> 0:14:20.200
<v Speaker 5>Broke listener at that.

0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.000
<v Speaker 2>He just offered to give you fifty dollars.

0:14:24.240 --> 0:14:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it's pretty generous in our eyes. But Kenny has

0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:30.240
<v Speaker 3>come to us seeking a little bit of advice because

0:14:30.880 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 3>he told us the whole situation with the birthday invite,

0:14:34.080 --> 0:14:37.560
<v Speaker 3>and there was a little bit confusion. Obviously, on Kenny's

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:40.000
<v Speaker 3>end with the tipping part.

0:14:39.640 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Well, I mean, yeah, I heard what was going on.

0:14:42.200 --> 0:14:47.560
<v Speaker 5>Clearly he has an issue with tipping at my kid's party.

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:50.680
<v Speaker 2>Can I ask what is the tip for? I don't understand.

0:14:51.280 --> 0:14:53.800
<v Speaker 5>So we're going to have service. You know, their kids

0:14:53.800 --> 0:14:56.120
<v Speaker 5>are going to be served at things like that, so

0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.240
<v Speaker 5>they could just leave a tip for the cyberg. I'm

0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:00.520
<v Speaker 5>literally paying for everything. This is a really high end

0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:01.400
<v Speaker 5>type of party.

0:15:02.000 --> 0:15:06.040
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you're actually hiring people to be boxes.

0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, it's bigger than the things I don't know, a

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:13.200
<v Speaker 5>little mediocre birthday party, but we do it.

0:15:15.160 --> 0:15:17.920
<v Speaker 2>Well, I do it cheap and free. That's kind of

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the route I typically.

0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 3>Take us to her kids' birthday parties.

0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:26.120
<v Speaker 5>My kids don't maybe once you ki party, y'all step,

0:15:26.200 --> 0:15:26.840
<v Speaker 5>y'all game up.

0:15:29.840 --> 0:15:31.760
<v Speaker 2>I mean, don't you think it's just a little odd?

0:15:32.160 --> 0:15:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Have you ever been to a birthday party where they're

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:36.280
<v Speaker 1>asking for tips and to cover expenses.

0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.440
<v Speaker 3>She's not judging you by saying that, she's just offering

0:15:39.480 --> 0:15:40.560
<v Speaker 3>that as a possibility.

0:15:40.600 --> 0:15:44.160
<v Speaker 5>I'm feeling good. I'm feeling good.

0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.080
<v Speaker 4>We're no.

0:15:46.320 --> 0:15:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I just think like it's a little off putting, probably

0:15:48.960 --> 0:15:51.240
<v Speaker 1>to a lot of families to be asked to pay

0:15:51.720 --> 0:15:53.320
<v Speaker 1>to attend a birthday party.

0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.800
<v Speaker 5>Well, guess what, it's a little off putting to call

0:15:55.920 --> 0:16:01.040
<v Speaker 5>the damn radio stations, top about it. If it was that,

0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:03.720
<v Speaker 5>he guess what he could have did. He could have

0:16:03.800 --> 0:16:05.920
<v Speaker 5>just not bring his kid if it was that big

0:16:05.960 --> 0:16:06.440
<v Speaker 5>of a deal.

0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:08.480
<v Speaker 3>Wait, they want to go.

0:16:08.760 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, if they don't bring it, timph, they're not going

0:16:11.840 --> 0:16:13.120
<v Speaker 1>to be allowed to the party.

0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:15.760
<v Speaker 5>I didn't say that. I said if it was that

0:16:15.920 --> 0:16:18.640
<v Speaker 5>deep for him to call the radio, then he didn't

0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:20.040
<v Speaker 5>even have to worry about it.

0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if we're really making any progress here.

0:16:23.120 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 3>And Kenny, we haven't heard from you in a while.

0:16:25.080 --> 0:16:27.360
<v Speaker 3>We're running a little bit short on time. Where is

0:16:27.400 --> 0:16:28.360
<v Speaker 3>your head at?

0:16:28.760 --> 0:16:31.920
<v Speaker 4>My head is at probably about seventy four ninety nine.

0:16:32.040 --> 0:16:33.000
<v Speaker 4>That's as high as algo.

0:16:33.400 --> 0:16:37.880
<v Speaker 3>What you keep offering more money?

0:16:38.320 --> 0:16:40.680
<v Speaker 5>So you bring a gift with that seventy five dollars

0:16:40.760 --> 0:16:43.320
<v Speaker 5>to gift to Kenny.

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:45.360
<v Speaker 3>You got yourself into quite a problem.

0:16:45.440 --> 0:16:48.840
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I don't think it's a problem anymore. Drums done.

0:16:48.960 --> 0:16:51.480
<v Speaker 2>Oh, yeah, he is right. Yeah, just wait until you

<v Speaker 2>That is actually a genius. Can't say no to her.

0:17:12.400 --> 0:17:15.320
<v Speaker 3>Somehow she got Kenny to go from I think tipping

0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:18.400
<v Speaker 3>at a kid's party is tacky and gross too. I'm

<v Speaker 3>venoing her seventy five dollars and a gift right now.

0:17:22.200 --> 0:17:24.320

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 2>interjected with this is the highest I could go.

0:17:27.040 --> 0:17:28.399

0:17:28.520 --> 0:17:29.400
<v Speaker 4>I'm speaking after.

0:17:29.400 --> 0:17:31.320
<v Speaker 3>Do you think he kept going higher because he like

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:34.439
<v Speaker 3>felt he had to compensate for being called like broke?

0:17:34.760 --> 0:17:39.000
