1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Who's Alex's worst person in the world today. Who's Alex's

2
00:00:03,960 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: worst person in the world today? Well, today I feel

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: like my worst person is It's going to be an

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:14,680
Speaker 1: unpopular opinion, and with the holidays coming up, you know,

5
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,480
Speaker 1: just kind of got me thinking. Is it Santa? Yeah,

6
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: probably that's a jerk. He's not a jerk. He goes

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,800
Speaker 1: kids free gifts a year, so he's a great guy. Yes,

8
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:28,160
Speaker 1: he is, so you know every year. Is it Rudolph

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: the Red Nose Reindeer? Yeah, no, also a bit of

10
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: a jerk. No, not at all, because he flies Santa

11
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: around to deliver those gifts for free. It's another glitz

12
00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: and nonna comment comment. Oh yeah, comment the reindeer, of course. Yeah.

13
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 1: So um he was my worst person because he made

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: up thank you cards. Oh wait, I thought you were

15
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: joking it. Actually his comment can be comment, but I

16
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: think comment. I'm just gonna go along with you English.

17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: He was the one who had the original grand idea

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: to send people thank you cards for gifts. Oh you

19
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: know it comment or not? I mean maybe it's a

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe what I'm confused. I kind of just like acted

21
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: like comment was a one who made it up. But

22
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 1: I don't know who was the original creator or thought of, like, hey,

23
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 1: when someone's to do a gift, we're gonna mail them

24
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: back a thank you card every time. Okay, so thank

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: you cards in general, thank you cards. So I mean,

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't have to just be around Christmas time, but

27
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: usually it is. You know, you get a lot of gifts,

28
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: you have to send lots of thank you cards, but

29
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 1: like for your birthday or whatever anniversary, like older generation

30
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: expect thank you cards in the mail. Yes, me, and

31
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 1: so I don't know if I'm alone here, but I

32
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: hate writing thank you cards. And it's something that my

33
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: mom like pounded in my head as a kid, like

34
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:45,960
Speaker 1: and I felt guilty as heck if I didn't send one,

35
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 1: and like I never thought I'd get another gift in

36
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: my life if I didn't from that from that person,

37
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:50,480
Speaker 1: I feel like you're right, there are gonna be a

38
00:01:50,520 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: lot of people who are like, what thank you cards

39
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: are the best because nobody writes things down anymore and

40
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: just send a card to say thank you. And I

41
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: think my parents were the same with my mom was

42
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: the same way when as aid it was always like

43
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: you gotta write a thank you card. I say this stupid.

44
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: Oh so I hate it. So do you guys feel

45
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: guilty now if you don't write a thank you card?

46
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: I do still feel guilty. But here's what I you know,

47
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: here's here's what I was thinking. You know, I really

48
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: don't like writing thank you cards. I don't want to

49
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,959
Speaker 1: have to do it. Of course I'm thankful. Yeah, I

50
00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: just send me a gift for my birthday or something,

51
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: probably a card with cash and cord and thankful. Right.

52
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: Is it FaceTime not sufficient? Yeah? I mean that's what

53
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 1: I'm going to ask you, is if you text somebody

54
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: or call them or FaceTime them or whatever and go

55
00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: thanks for the gift. Yeah. Do you still have to

56
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:31,320
Speaker 1: send a card? Because I think some people still send

57
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: a card. I don't know, but I feel like a FaceTime,

58
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,520
Speaker 1: if it's like a relative, is sufficient. Yeah. If you've

59
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 1: reached out in some way and showing that you want

60
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 1: to make the effort, that should be enough. They like

61
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 1: the thank you cards in the mail. Yeah, that's the

62
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 1: people that are still write in cuss if. I bet

63
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 1: that's true. That's so true. But because it was instilled

64
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: in me as a kid, I instilled it in my kids.

65
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: But now I got to the point arm, I'm like, okay, wait,

66
00:02:55,520 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: hold on, I really don't like doing this, and I

67
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: don't like forcing my kids to do this. So your

68
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: kids actually think, though, that they're supposed to write a

69
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: thank you God. I mean, they just think so because

70
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: it's they think it's appropriate, you know, But I doubt

71
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: they like doing it either, And I don't like being

72
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: on their case like write these think you knows, write

73
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: these think you know? Yeah, yeah, I think instead of

74
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: thank you know, not its let's just send them like

75
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: a thank you email, you know, like those those cars

76
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: that you send an e card exactly. That's what I

77
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,839
Speaker 1: was trying to think of. It's not a mass one,

78
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: It's just it is still personalized. Some people are so

79
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: neurotic about it, like they write down what you got,

80
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: like yeah, like your parents will like write down what

81
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 1: you got and like thank you for the Barbie with

82
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: the Barbie car, like very specific to make you know,

83
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: make sure that person feels I don't know, I don't know.

84
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: I mean I've never gotten to thank you. I've gotten

85
00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: thank you cards before. By the way, I'm googling when

86
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: did thank you cards start? Because now I'm really curious.

87
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: I have gotten thank you cards before from people that

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: I've seen a gift too, and I never care either.

89
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: I don't either. What a waste of paper. That's what

90
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: I feel like. It's the older generation they just feel

91
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: like it's it would be anners. Yea, it would be nice,

92
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I think. Yes. Actually the person's voice right exactly, I

93
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: agree with you. Wow here you The first version of

94
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: what people today would think of as thank you notes

95
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: originated in the fourteen hundreds, when Europeans exchanged greeting cards

96
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,440
Speaker 1: with their friends or family members. This was a new

97
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: form of social expression that involved delivering notes by hand.

98
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: So thank you notes date back I was thinking to

99
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 1: the fifties or sixties. Yeah, date back to the fourteen hundreds,

100
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 1: and some people still feel like that's what you need

101
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: to do. We update our traditions a little bit. Yeah

102
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: please exactly. That's my point. So people who still expect

103
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 1: thank you cards, and for the Europeans who thought it

104
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: was appropriate back in the fourteen hundreds, that are the tradition. Mediots,

105
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: you were the worst person in the world today. That

106
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: was as West person in the world today, that was

107
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 1: Liz's West person in the world today.
