1
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: It's awkward.

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 2: It's Tuesday.

3
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

4
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 2: Is there anything sweeter than a child's birthday party?

5
00:00:13,480 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 3: So?

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:15,040
Speaker 1: I don't know.

7
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 2: They're a blast paw patrol cakes, bouncy castle, dude.

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 4: The goodie bags are like off the hook.

9
00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 2: R oh yeah, the magicians making mommy's blouse disappear. But

10
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 2: behind every balloon arch other parents stand in silent judgment judgments.

11
00:00:35,159 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: You're wondering who.

12
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Cheap out on the decorations, who are svp'd late? And

13
00:00:42,240 --> 00:00:45,640
Speaker 2: who thought a glitter slime kit was an acceptable gift

14
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: for a carpeted home. A lot of unspoken drama that

15
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 2: happens with these kids birthdays, and that's why one of

16
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: our listeners has reached out for help.

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 4: Oh my god, No, you've being serious. There is kid drama.

18
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 2: I'm serious, like a joke. Her name is Ginger and

Speaker 2: the show.

21
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 5: Hi you guys, did you not get invited to a

22
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 5: birthday party you wanted to go to?

23
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 4: Ginger?

24
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 3: I wish?

25
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, what's going on? What made you email us

26
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,479
Speaker 2: about something about a kid's birthday party?

27
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 3: Yeah? So my seven year old son. He got a

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 3: birthday party invitation from one of his classmates.

29
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 4: That's cute, Okay, yeah.

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 3: I mean it seemed on my first a little birthday card,

31
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,400
Speaker 3: you know, with balloons and confetti on it. Yeah. Yeah,

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,480
Speaker 3: But then I read it.

33
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 4: You read the invitation.

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 3: I was so confused because, like, there's no time listed,

35
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 3: no activities, there's no party.

36
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 4: What do you invite?

37
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 5: Maybe it's just like a playdate. Then is it just

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 5: him and his buddy.

39
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,560
Speaker 3: No, they just want us to send gifts their house.

40
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 3: No party at all.

41
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: Excuse me?

42
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 3: What?

43
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: No, it's not a party invite.

44
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 6: It's a gift invite, like they send your gifts this way.

45
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 5: There's a family asking for gifts for their seven year

46
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 5: old kid's birthday.

47
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: But not a birthday.

48
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 3: It literally says please mail or drop off presents by

49
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 3: next Saturday.

50
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: Et in your mouth.

51
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: Oh there's a deadline.

52
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 4: Is it a joke? You're not getting like, how could

53
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 4: anyone do that?

54
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,400
Speaker 3: No? And then they feel the deal, thank you for

55
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 3: participating in this wonderful celebration.

56
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,640
Speaker 4: Oh wow.

57
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 6: Is it like a setup for something else, like you're

58
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,320
Speaker 6: gonna make a collage.

59
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 5: Maybe it's like they're collecting gifts for like kids that

60
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 5: don't have funds for birthdays, Like is it a charity day?

61
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 3: There's no mention of charity. It is all for their kids.

62
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: Wow, what's boring?

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 3: I mean I was thinking maybe it's like a health thing.

64
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 3: You know, maybe somebody's sick and they don't want to

65
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 3: expose other people.

66
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: There's a logical explanation.

67
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: True, Yeah, okay, did you.

68
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 3: Find out No, they're still showing up to all the

69
00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 3: school events.

70
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:05,320
Speaker 2: Oh, the kid is okay, the whole family okay, So

71
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:06,520
Speaker 2: probably not a health issue.

72
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: And they're not in a giant like bubble.

73
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 4: What family of kids wants more crap in their house?

74
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 4: Like that's another.

75
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,639
Speaker 6: Well, kids wants all the toys they.

76
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 5: No way, dude, my kids, they say no gifts on

77
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,799
Speaker 5: the invitation is Brooks stay.

78
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 1: And kids don't like toys and giars saying.

79
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: They don't need it, Like my kids don't need that stuff.

80
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: I mean I've heard of that before.

81
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 2: But this is sounds like you're being invited to a

82
00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:33,640
Speaker 2: wedding but you're not allowed to attend the actual You

83
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: just here's the wedding registry. Thank you for buying a gift.

84
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 6: Mind bringing, but like, let's have a party let's barbecue, like.

85
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: Or is this only you and your kid?

86
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 2: Do you know if other children are being invited to

87
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: a party?

88
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 3: Yeah? So I talked some of the other parents and

89
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,760
Speaker 3: they all got the same invitations they did.

90
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,720
Speaker 5: Okay, I cannot imagine your mom group chats right now.

91
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 3: They're pretty spicy right now.

92
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 4: Okay, here's the question.

93
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 5: Are they like down on their luck, like the family

94
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 5: doesn't have money to afford the gifts?

95
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think this is odd. I mean,

96
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 3: who does this? Who throws the kids party and none

97
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: of the kids can go?

98
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 7: Okay, if that was the.

99
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,520
Speaker 6: Case, in a gentle way, they would say that it's

100
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:19,480
Speaker 6: a tough year for us.

101
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 4: We'd appreciate something or some help.

102
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 7: Yeah.

103
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I guess that's what that's what go fundmes for.

104
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 2: But Ginger, I mean, if you don't agree with this,

105
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: if you don't like the idea, why not just boycott

106
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 2: it and don't send a gift.

107
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 4: And ignore.

108
00:04:37,080 --> 00:04:37,479
Speaker 5: The kid.

109
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 3: Now, if I don't give a gift, then I'm going

110
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 3: to be known in the group chat as the parent

111
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 3: who didn't send a gift to his birthday?

112
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 4: Are you sing? I don't think that's bad. I think

113
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 4: it's worse for your kid. Who's the one kid who didn't.

114
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,680
Speaker 3: Give going to get invited to the other party?

115
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 5: Oh, I would be boycotting to There's no way, are

116
00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 5: you kidding me?

117
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 4: Bad mouthed me all you want? That is absolutely ridiculous.

118
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,400
Speaker 1: Hook would pick it outside of the home.

119
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 4: I think she has those signs made even a joke.

120
00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 1: Don't cross this line and put a gift on the front.

121
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 1: Poor bring her kids to help her protest.

122
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:16,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, so obviously this is unusual. What made you email

123
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,359
Speaker 2: us for advice? What are you looking to do with

124
00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 2: your call here?

125
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: I want to know how to be the bigger person here.

126
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 3: You know, I don't want to just complain about it.

127
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,840
Speaker 3: I mean I would like to speak to the mom

128
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 3: and tail her what the other parents are saying about this?

129
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 4: Okay, so what I mean, what's the message though? You're

130
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,239
Speaker 4: gonna say, Hey, not cool?

131
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 3: Personally, I'm bothered by it. The more I'm talking about

132
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:39,560
Speaker 3: it is you can see I get amped up. So

133
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: I just kind of more so need some advice about

134
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 3: how to have the conversation.

135
00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Okay, Okay, I love that.

136
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 5: I mean I think a lot of people would just

137
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 5: ignore it and hope it goes away. But that doesn't

138
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 5: help in society that it just makes it uncomfortable.

139
00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 6: I mean, I can't give that as my advice.

140
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 4: Ignore it and its more conversations are good.

141
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 2: This is really interesting because I've definitely heard of parents

142
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 2: like Brooks said, say please have your kid come to

143
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 2: the party, no presence needed. But this is the total

144
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 2: opposite where it's like, bring your presence, no children away. Yeah, children,

145
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 2: we're gonna get you some advice here, Ginger, and let

146
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:17,480
Speaker 2: you make your awkward Tuesday phone call to figure out

147
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:20,279
Speaker 2: what's going on with this kid's birthday party.

148
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: We'll do it right after this. Hold on, it's awkward.

149
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 4: It's Tuesday.

150
00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 6: It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

151
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 2: It's a genius idea. I can't believe I haven't thought

152
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 2: of before. Throw a birthday party without people.

153
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, you don't like people very much. Jeff's this Actually

154
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 4: I could see you.

155
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: It's nobody's allowed. You just ask for the presence to

156
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:49,120
Speaker 1: be delivered right to you. Wow, and stay the heck away.

157
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 6: You should make up like twelve children, one for each month, Jeff,

158
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 6: an imaginary birthday.

159
00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 4: Party every month.

160
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 2: So smart, joseing the doll.

161
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: And I can't even say it was my idea.

162
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:04,440
Speaker 2: It's what one mom apparently did because one of our listeners,

163
00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 2: Ginger got an invite for her seven year old son

164
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 2: to celebrate another kid's birthday. But there's no actual party,

165
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 2: no activities at all, just an address for them to

166
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 2: drop off presents. Yeah, and Ginger wants to call this

167
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 2: other mom and tell her, hey, this might not be

168
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 2: the best look because other parents have been talking about

169
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 2: it and not.

170
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean she's honestly, you're doing the mom

171
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 5: of a solid, but you're helping the mom out by

172
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 5: giving her a headzige.

173
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 2: We just need to give her advice on how to

174
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 2: do it politely. So, Brooke, what do you have for her?

175
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 5: Well, I mean you want to remain calm, right, that's

176
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 5: like your goal. And for me, whenever I have an

177
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 5: awkward mom interaction, I just played dumb.

178
00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: Oh I thought she was gonna say xanax. No, that's good.

179
00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 5: So you just want to say, hey, I got this invite,

180
00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 5: but I don't really understand it, you know what I mean, Like,

181
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 5: make her explain.

182
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: It to you.

183
00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 2: Maybe when she says it out loud she realizes this

184
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 2: sounds bad, right, or or.

185
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 5: Be open maybe there's something that we're missing. Maybe there's

186
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 5: a logical answer we don't see yet.

187
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I feel like you've got to say

188
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 3: this out loud to make it make sense, and it

189
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 3: doesn't make sense on paper.

190
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: Totally, totally Okay, Well, Jose, what do you think? What's

191
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: your advice?

192
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 6: Well, I have the exact same advice what you need

193
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 6: to do when I do best and play dumb. Oh

194
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 6: my god, you call back aloof and just be like,

195
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 6: oh my god, I am so excited. I'm calling for

196
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 6: details at the big birthday party even though you know

197
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 6: there's no party.

198
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: You're getting even dumber than I suggest.

199
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you gotta dumb here.

200
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 1: I feel like you didn't even read the advice.

201
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that one.

202
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,560
Speaker 6: She literally has to tell you and correct you on

203
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 6: what's really happening. She's have to tell you not to come,

204
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 6: but you'll be listening and you won't get mad.

205
00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 3: Okay, I like it.

206
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,160
Speaker 1: So you think you're not dumb enough, go dumber?

207
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 4: Also playing dumb? So three for three here, ja, you.

208
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 2: Might go full dumb today. Yeah, let's dial this other

209
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: mom here and don't dial.

210
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:57,720
Speaker 6: It wrong dumbing.

211
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 5: I am so excited to hear this explanation, and honestly,

212
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 5: I know.

213
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: Like what's the real truth.

214
00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,080
Speaker 2: Let's see if she even picks up. I'm dialing her

215
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 2: number right now and we'll step away. Let you make

216
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 2: your awkward Tuesday phone call, and we'll be ready to

217
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 2: jump in if we feel like you need a little help.

218
00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 3: All right, Okay, thank you, God you're an idiot.

219
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: Okay, yeah, yes, here we go, good luck.

220
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 3: Hello? Hi is this Sammy?

221
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,439
Speaker 7: Yes? This is is this?

222
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:34,559
Speaker 3: I'm cuss mom?

223
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 7: Hi?

224
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 3: How are you? I'm good? We got your birthday invite? Oh,

225
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 3: I do have a couple of questions for you.

226
00:09:43,559 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 7: There really shouldn't be any questions because everything's laid out

227
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 7: on the invite there.

228
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I got it. But I just need to

229
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 3: ask you is this correct? Like there's no actual party,

230
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 3: it's just you kind of just want us to send

231
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: a gift. And that's it.

232
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 7: Yep, that's what it is. I mean says it on

233
00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 7: the invitation. WHOA, You're welcome to drop it off. I mean,

234
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 7: feel free, but you don't even need to ring the door.

235
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 7: But you can just leave it on the doorstep and

236
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 7: I can grab it.

237
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 3: Oh, okay, is there anything else I think that covers? It, yep.

238
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,880
Speaker 3: I mean, well, I kind of feel like it's important

239
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 3: to talk to you about this because, like some of

240
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 3: the other parents have mentioned, they've never heard of a

241
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:26,720
Speaker 3: party like this before.

242
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 7: Right, well, this is not a party, this is a celebration.

243
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 3: Oh got it.

244
00:10:32,840 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 7: But I mean, and we decided to do a little

245
00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 7: bit of a more gift forward celebration this year, you know.

246
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 3: I mean, what does that even mean?

247
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 7: It's really simple, more gifts, less people. It's kind of

248
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:52,199
Speaker 7: more fun that way. I'm sorry, Ginger, Is it because

249
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 7: you can't afford a gift?

250
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 3: Because if that's the case.

251
00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:58,240
Speaker 7: It's honestly, it's okay. Just have on make something or

252
00:10:58,240 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 7: like an IOU for a gift card.

253
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:04,840
Speaker 3: Yes, they produce me. That's no, that's rude. We have

254
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,160
Speaker 3: plenty of money. I just think that if there's a

255
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 3: bad message to the kids that it's all about gifts

256
00:11:10,840 --> 00:11:13,680
Speaker 3: and not about the experience of celebrating with your friends.

257
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 7: I mean, honestly, at this age, kids.

258
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: Don't even remember the party. They just remember the gifts.

259
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 7: So let's just skip the middle man, right.

260
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 3: I mean, I just feel like it's really weird to

261
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,079
Speaker 3: ask for a gift and there's no event, no piece,

262
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:28,959
Speaker 3: good party. No nothing, You just want me to send

263
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 3: a gift to your house.

264
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 7: Okay, I kind of see what you're saying. So your

265
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:36,880
Speaker 7: child doesn't believe in gift giving unless there's something in

266
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 7: it for him. I mean, that's kind of sad.

267
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,160
Speaker 3: No, it's not about my kid at all. It's the

268
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 3: perception about this is not right. You're just asking people

269
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: for gifts. Okay.

270
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 7: I don't really have a lot of time right now,

271
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 7: but I'm a little surprised that the reaction you're giving

272
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 7: me because none of the other parents have said anything

273
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 7: like this. Most of them are very supportive.

274
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:59,559
Speaker 3: Oh it's not that they support you. They're scared of you.

275
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:00,680
Speaker 7: They don't their kids to.

276
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: Be blackballed from other parties, so they talked to me.

277
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:08,720
Speaker 7: Okay, I don't really like how this is going, so listen.

278
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,720
Speaker 7: If you don't feel like I needs to drop.

279
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 3: Off a gift, just then Mooles send.

280
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 7: Us cashin.

281
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: Hello, what's going on?

282
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 7: Yes, am I on speaker phone or something.

283
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,880
Speaker 2: Well, you're on a lot of speakers all over the

284
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,439
Speaker 2: country right now, because this is a radio show called

285
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,600
Speaker 2: Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning.

286
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, you are so classless ginger to put me, Luke,

287
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 7: you couldn't.

288
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 3: Call me directly, so you called a radio station.

289
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm sorry.

290
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 3: Hey, he's ittiful.

291
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 5: Oh the only classless person is the mother who's begging

292
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 5: for gifts and not even throwing a party.

293
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 4: That's honey.

294
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 7: I don't know your name, but no one's begging for gifts.

295
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,200
Speaker 7: If she didn't want to send one, she didn't have to.

296
00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 7: She just called me. I'm telling her her options have

297
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 7: to she doesn't want.

298
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 5: I thought she was going to come with some explanation

299
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 5: as to why the birthday party was just gifts, like

300
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 5: maybe this kid was sick.

301
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,199
Speaker 4: Or maybe like maybe there was something right, maybe.

302
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,720
Speaker 3: There was a guy. It's a celebration, not a party.

303
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:20,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, not a party was the difference.

304
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 2: She made it very clear. It's a gift forward celebration.

305
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 2: The focus is on the gifts.

306
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,520
Speaker 5: Why do you want that to be your kid's focus.

307
00:13:28,640 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 5: Shouldn't your kids focus be relationships? Like that's what's going

308
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 5: to sustain them in life, not stuck.

309
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: I'm Tammy.

310
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: The reason that Ginger has reached out to us is

311
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 2: because she's not alone. Apparently a bunch of the other

312
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:44,480
Speaker 2: parents and kids at your school are a little bit

313
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,120
Speaker 2: alarmed by this idea.

314
00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, and guys, I could care less.

315
00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:52,680
Speaker 5: Okay, well, okay, okay, I get your on the defense.

316
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 5: We came in hot, but like, honestly, like you got

317
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 5: to think of your kid right now.

318
00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 7: This is none of your business. I'm not sure what
