<v Speaker 1>And we've got a little gift for you, a big gift.

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:17.919
<v Speaker 1>Gift giving and gift receiving is one of my large

0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>wide go thy gift, big.

0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:23.919
<v Speaker 2>Fat one, and that is a little discussion about how

0:00:23.960 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 2>old you should be when your parents stop giving you presents.

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 3>A controversial one for through me, the same person who

0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 3>made her parents buy a new house because.

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:35.720
<v Speaker 1>She liked it.

0:00:37.600 --> 0:00:39.320
<v Speaker 2>Honestly, it was a good investment, so they should be

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 2>patting me on the back.

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Oh, it's often a little cut. Oh they're still time.

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mean they sold it so oh yeah,

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 1>we'll go check in for that car. It's well deserved.

0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 2>What age do you think you should be when your

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 2>parents stop what's it called not pulling out?

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Chopping out? Chopping out? Shut up, me, shut up? When

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>your parents stop chopping out?

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 2>Chopsu eighteen?

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>Whoa? When we say last present your mum got you?

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:14.400
<v Speaker 1>H she gets me like little gifties all the time.

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>What was last thing she got you?

0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 3>Probably an outfit? I was actually quite thoughtful because we

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 3>were in going at the same time, but I left

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.039
<v Speaker 3>away before her, so when she came back, she knew

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 3>that my measurements were still with our tailor. So she

0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:31.160
<v Speaker 3>got me something made so thoughtful? Was it another like

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 3>two P set? She's good like that, Liz, Yeah, let's

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 3>give you. I say eighteen only because now that I've

0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 3>seen the cost of living, now that I'm experiencing it

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 3>as a full adult, I just don't think kids are

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 3>grateful enough for how much it costs to give you

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:52.080
<v Speaker 3>a big Christmas babes. By eighteen, you should have been

0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 3>asking for you exactly what you want, the MacBook, the iPhone,

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:58.400
<v Speaker 3>the little gaming console. And by then it's just little

0:01:58.440 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 3>add ons, a new game.

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:01.360
<v Speaker 1>And new book. What is it you need?

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 3>You need to get something new, something you need, something

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 3>practical and something blue. No, that's weddings. But you like

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.360
<v Speaker 3>we're on the same page. I'm like practical, small, small, small,

0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:14.880
<v Speaker 3>be eighteen eighteen. Damn yeah, get your back together.

0:02:15.000 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 2>I'd say that the cost of my presence have been

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 2>going down. Yeah, good, And I have started buying my parents' presence,

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.960
<v Speaker 2>which was very counterintuitive. But I guess now that I

0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 2>have my own salary, I should be getting them things

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:28.960
<v Speaker 2>I maybe I'm going to do a bit of regifting.

0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:30.919
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk about that concept.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, my sister and I never get each other presents,

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.880
<v Speaker 2>but maybe this year I'll start giving her some regifts.

0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Some influencer good is. Oh but that don't do it

0:02:39.440 --> 0:02:42.760
<v Speaker 1>on Christmas? Have you no shame? She won't know. Yeah.

0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:46.440
<v Speaker 3>Nah, get into the habit of passing those on an

0:02:47.120 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 3>any good old time. I just think that, like Christmas

0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 3>in itself, is such an expensive time of year, and

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 3>I think that not everyone is built as a good

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:57.919
<v Speaker 3>gift giver.

0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>So you should sit.

0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Out because I know for me, I don't like buying

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 3>gifts for people when I don't know exactly what they want.

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.080
<v Speaker 3>It's a waste of my money, it's a waste.

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Of your time.

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.680
<v Speaker 3>It is hard, and if people aren't comfortable with like

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:12.080
<v Speaker 3>disclosing what they want, you're not getting one. I'm not

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 3>playing this game with you. So with that being said,

0:03:15.600 --> 0:03:18.639
<v Speaker 3>I think this pressure to get people gifts has led

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.920
<v Speaker 3>to a lot of bad gift giving, like that boyfriend

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I had one who.

0:03:21.480 --> 0:03:23.760
<v Speaker 1>Got me a microwave disgusting.

0:03:23.840 --> 0:03:25.520
<v Speaker 3>Not only do I not cook, I don't eat leftover's

0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:28.720
<v Speaker 3>bab don't play with me, okay, with the program.

0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:30.960
<v Speaker 1>Here with the program. Hint.

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and again I don't do hints either. You think

0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 3>this bull doze of a person does.

0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 2>Hints, so ipso facto. Eighteen is a cut off age

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 2>for buying presents. Anything after that is a pleasure and

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 2>a trait.

0:03:45.440 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's what's that word I'm looking for, discretionary?

0:03:50.120 --> 0:03:54.200
<v Speaker 3>Discretionary. That's pretty good that I knew that the dome. Yeah,

0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:54.880
<v Speaker 3>you're amazing.

0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>I love that. Thank you, kisses man.
