I have so much written down. 28 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,000 Victoria gave me a book and said write stuff down every week. 29 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Happy freaking holidays. 30 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:19,000 I'm Victoria. 31 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,000 Hey, guys, I'm Karli. 32 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,000 Yeah, there it is. 33 00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000 And we have. 34 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:30,000 We have a few special things for you today. Yes. 35 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,000 So we did a little poll on the Instagram, 36 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:38,000 as well as forced some of our friends in these fields to text me back in the 37 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,000 answer to the poll because, you know, that's what you do. 38 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:51,000 So we asked teachers, nurses, a doctor, PhD of sorts of what is one good gift from 39 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:56,000 a client or a student and what is one like, let's stop doing this type of 40 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000 type of give and take. 41 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:02,000 You know, there are all those gifts if you are in a profession where you are 42 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:05,000 lucky enough to be given a gift for the holidays. 43 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:06,000 So nice. 44 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,000 Start with that. 45 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:11,000 But there are those gifts that you're like, oh, it's either not useful or 46 00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:13,000 or you get it every single year. 47 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000 Yes. 48 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 Like I really don't need another one of these mugs. 49 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000 Yeah. 50 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000 And I think what you said was probably a better way to start. 51 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000 If you're thinking of giving somebody anything that already is like the 52 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,000 nicest gesture. 53 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,000 So nice. 54 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,000 And whatever it is is appreciated, always appreciated that you were 55 00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:30,000 thought of. 56 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:31,000 That is the whole point of gift giving. 57 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000 I actually love to give gifts more than get them. 58 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000 Getting the perfect gift for somebody else and watching them open it or it 59 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 being very useful for them. 60 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,000 That's important to me. 61 00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,000 And when you pick it up and you're like, oh my gosh, I have to wait so long to 62 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,000 give this to this person. 63 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000 I know. 64 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 We'll start with the teachers and we'll keep this brief, but it was just very 65 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 interesting because it's different. 66 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000 I learned from nurses and doctors and stuff. 67 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,000 It's a very different exchange. 68 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000 Well, I need to know because I'm in the market for some teacher gifts. 69 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,000 So this is a mix of education teachers as well as dance teachers. 70 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,000 That's who we, we pulled. 71 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,000 Because that's all we know. 72 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Because that's who we, that's who we do. 73 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:09,000 That's who we be. 74 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:10,000 Oh my God. 75 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Okay. 76 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:15,000 I got a yay for a candle and a nay to a couple nays for candles. 77 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Really? 78 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000 The yay was like, it's, it's a candle. 79 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,000 It's like, okay, if I have people over, I mean, it's very rare you get a candle that 80 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000 smells really bad. 81 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:25,000 Yeah. 82 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,000 So, you know, yay. 83 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,000 But some people are like, I have, I have a drawer of candles because I don't use them 84 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,000 and I'm gift giving, you know, people give them to me. 85 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Mugs. 86 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,000 It depends. 87 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000 I agree though. 88 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,000 I want mugs that I like. 89 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:38,000 Is it a yay or a nay? 90 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,000 It's a nay. 91 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000 Oh, a nay for teachers. 92 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000 I want to pick out my mugs. 93 00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:48,000 I have a personal attachment to like the mugs that I have. 94 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000 And sometimes it's just like, it says 2023 best teacher. 95 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Yeah. 96 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,000 I did receive a mug last year from a dancer with my name on it. 97 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:01,000 And it said, you know, Miss Carly with a rainbow and it said best teacher, best dance teacher 98 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:03,000 in the, in the world or something like that. 99 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000 And I love it because I was, makes me think of that dancer every time I drink out of it. 100 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,000 But it was personalized. 101 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000 It wasn't just like, Merry Christmas 2022. 102 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000 Right. 103 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 So I guess it depends. 104 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000 None of this is going to be helpful. 105 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Same thing goes with like a cup, a to go cup, a turvus of sorts. 106 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:21,000 That's a nay. 107 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:24,000 Unless it's a Stanley, this one got me. 108 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,000 Oh God. 109 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,000 And I quote, things we know you found in your attic. 110 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 We know somebody said that. 111 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:31,000 Yes. 112 00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:32,000 Stop it. 113 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Brilliant. 114 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,000 But it's funny because I think I've done that. 115 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000 I'm like, oh my gosh, I forgot I have to give this person a gift. 116 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000 What do I have? 117 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000 What do I have from last year that I like didn't give away or didn't open? 118 00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000 Yeah, they know. 119 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:49,000 I mean, I have a box of things, a box of gifts to give other people that I have been collecting 120 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:50,000 over the years. 121 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000 Like if I didn't use it, why can't somebody else use it? 122 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,000 Yes. 123 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:57,000 But if it's been in your attic for how long and it's just your item. 124 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000 So I think there's a specific bath and body works from circa 2001. 125 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,000 That's not in your attic. 126 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000 Hopefully. 127 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:09,000 Like a decoration, like something in storage, something that like is clearly yours that 128 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000 you own. 129 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000 What I said. 130 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Not what I said. 131 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Okay. 132 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:17,000 Homemade baked goods or food in general, chocolate, candies, something like that. 133 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,000 That's a no. 134 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,000 That's a no. 135 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:20,000 I think I agree with that. 136 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000 Now, one of the reasons is because of allergies or sensitivities. 137 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000 So that's, I mean, you do have to be a little consider that that gift is just very general 138 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,880 and somebody can grab it off the shelf and just be like, oh, just give them this, which 139 00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,000 I think is what it shows by people are like, don't don't buy it. 140 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:38,000 Don't give me something. 141 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:39,000 Yeah. 142 00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:40,000 They just mess dishes. 143 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 Don't do that. 144 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:43,000 Don't. 145 00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000 People have their own and they're just going to re gift it from their attic to somebody 146 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,000 else. 147 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,800 And then the last for the nays, which is specifically from dance teachers, it's like foot scrubs 148 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,480 or foot lotions or skincare at all. 149 00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,280 That's a very specific thing that somebody wants to put on their body. 150 00:05:57,280 --> 00:06:00,880 And even though it smells good from Bath and Beyond or, but I always get those mixed 151 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:01,880 bath and body works. 152 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:02,880 Bath and body works. 153 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,880 Yeah. 154 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,760 It's, it's again, it's not personal unless you know that they love lemon or they love 155 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,920 pepper, you know, something specific, I guess. 156 00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,200 But I think people when they give dancers that kind of gift, assume that we take care 157 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:16,440 of our feet and none of us do. 158 00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:17,440 No, no. 159 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,280 So we, we aren't going to use it because we don't have the time to put a scrub on our 160 00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:22,280 foot. 161 00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:25,760 So just it's very thoughtful, but it's going to go unused. 162 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:26,760 Yeah. 163 00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:32,920 What will be totally accepted unanimously from every single person, including the nurses 164 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:37,240 which we haven't gotten to gift cards, even if it's just five dollars to grab a coffee 165 00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,800 anywhere. 166 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,520 Gift cards are like always a yay. 167 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,080 Every single one of them mentioned a gift card. 168 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:44,560 This was very specific. 169 00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:46,600 She's a veteran teacher, you know who you are. 170 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:51,560 And she said, because I'm a veteran teacher, a Christmas piece of like decor, she said, 171 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,160 I'm trying to change out my Christmas stuff. 172 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:55,080 So that's always nice. 173 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:59,800 But you have to kind of want to do that to get a new piece of Christmas decor. 174 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:00,800 Like, yeah. 175 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:01,800 Yeah. 176 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,800 Okay. 177 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:04,300 Handwritten notes or anything handmade. 178 00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:05,480 It's just special. 179 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,480 It's from the child. 180 00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,800 I mean, if this is from a child, but that was those are a few different people said 181 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,200 that exact thing. 182 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,000 Handmade items. 183 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:21,760 I have a few little dancer ornaments that they have made me that I still have. 184 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,240 And mom has a million. 185 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:24,240 Oh my gosh. 186 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,480 That's what decorates the dance to do. 187 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,480 Yeah. 188 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:27,480 Yeah. 189 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,400 Because if something makes you think of that person, I think that's a yay. 190 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Yeah. 191 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:32,400 Yeah. 192 00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:36,600 And I think that's the last one that I made, which is the last one here from my PhD. 193 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,040 What's up, Tessa? 194 00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:40,280 Anything that shows paying attention because it's thoughtful. 195 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:42,920 So it's not necessarily homemade, which it can be. 196 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:48,320 She said she got something in the flavor that they knew she really liked. 197 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:52,160 And it was just that specific little touch, something like that. 198 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,720 We got gift cards from one of our Seafitters. 199 00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,200 This bar actually isn't open any longer, but she would give us a gift card to the bar 200 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:01,200 where we went out. 201 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,200 Yeah. 202 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:03,200 And we had a lot of expectations. 203 00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:07,680 It's not any longer, but that to me is personal because they know we go there or that we went 204 00:08:07,680 --> 00:08:11,120 there and that's the kind of gift card I'd enjoy. 205 00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,720 And something even like that can just be here, grab a drink. 206 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:15,720 Yeah. 207 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,720 Five bucks. 208 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:17,720 Yeah. 209 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:18,720 It doesn't have to be like a $50 gift card. 210 00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:19,720 No. 211 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:25,440 So if you have nurses in your life or you had a hospital stay or you were in the delivery 212 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,400 room, any type of event like it doesn't have to be for the holiday because it's a little 213 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,680 trickier when it comes to nurses, I think, and doctors and such. 214 00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:35,680 Your gyno. 215 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:36,680 I love my gyno. 216 00:08:36,680 --> 00:08:37,680 Oh, yeah. 217 00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:39,280 You could give your primaries and stuff like that. 218 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:40,280 I didn't even think about that. 219 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,280 I always give my, you know what? 220 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,080 I give my chiropractor a gift card. 221 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,080 Oh my gosh. 222 00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,080 I have to give him one. 223 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:46,080 Yeah, you do. 224 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,880 He just saved my ankle. 225 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:53,800 So even specialties like that, no personal gifts can be given for a unit. 226 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:59,680 So the trauma unit, the ICU, the ER, they're not going to take something. 227 00:08:59,680 --> 00:09:02,880 Many number one, a specific gift card just for one nurse. 228 00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:04,560 It has to kind of be for the floor. 229 00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:05,680 Right, right. 230 00:09:05,680 --> 00:09:06,680 And I didn't know that. 231 00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:09,840 What they prefer and what they like are easy things to grab. 232 00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:14,880 Coffee treats, one of them said she specifically remembers because it happened once and how 233 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,120 wonderful it was. 234 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,120 Shake Shack. 235 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:18,120 Oh, yeah. 236 00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:19,720 They just like ordered Shake Shack for the unit. 237 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:25,520 At the same time, a different nurse said, don't get perishable food because nine times 238 00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040 out of 10, they don't have time to sit and eat it. 239 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,360 So it goes bad. 240 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,400 So it will go bad or, you know, it'll go bad. 241 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,440 So that's a 50-50, two different experiences. 242 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:37,680 So I guess it depends. 243 00:09:37,680 --> 00:09:42,520 But they do like pens, which I never would have thought of. 244 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:43,720 They always go missing. 245 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,040 And this one specifically said when they were having their children, they would make a basket 246 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:53,280 of pens, gum, granola, mint, almonds, face masks, easy stuff to grab. 247 00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,040 And that they would give that basket to either their specific nurses or like the floor or 248 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:58,040 whatever it was. 249 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:04,000 So I do not forget about night shift because usually if you're sending it, it's, you know, 250 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,920 within working hours during the day, by the time night shift gets there, it's all gone. 251 00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,920 It's gone. 252 00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,920 It's done. 253 00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,120 And, you know, that shift happens every single night. 254 00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:17,280 So that I just thought was interesting because I it's that's particular to like a hospital. 255 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,680 I think what I'm talking about. 256 00:10:18,680 --> 00:10:23,320 Well, when I, if you're pregnant and you're going to have a baby soon, what I used to 257 00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:29,520 do, what I did for all three of mine was when I walked in, I brought a huge cookie tray 258 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,120 for whoever was there. 259 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:36,040 And then after I had the baby the next day, mom would bring in a huge thing of pretzels 260 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:37,680 because it was different nurses. 261 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:38,680 Right. 262 00:10:38,680 --> 00:10:44,120 So cookies for when you walked in, pretzels for the next day for the new shift and both 263 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,520 shifts would get something. 264 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:46,520 So that's what I, yeah. 265 00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:47,520 That's the same thing. 266 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:48,520 That's great. 267 00:10:48,520 --> 00:10:51,520 They did speak about ER nurses, which tend to not get any gifts because there's such a 268 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,520 fast turnover. 269 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,800 And you don't really have a rapport with any patients or anything like that. 270 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,120 But if you're going in for emergency, you don't have time to think about what to give 271 00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:00,120 them. 272 00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,520 So that's, that's a little tidbits of the ins and outs of what you're going to get for 273 00:11:03,520 --> 00:11:08,440 your nurses or anybody in a specific field and your teachers. 274 00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:09,440 Keep it simple. 275 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,440 Keep it small. 276 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:11,440 Keep it a gift card. 277 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,440 You know, love it. 278 00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,560 They'll go get their own candle or their own mug or their own Christmas decor, whatever 279 00:11:15,560 --> 00:11:16,560 it is. 280 00:11:16,560 --> 00:11:21,480 Well, I want to add I every year I give the police officers. 281 00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,960 I make the kid, I don't make, they enjoy it. 282 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,200 We walk over to, we live next to the police station. 283 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:32,120 So they walk over and they bring, last year we brought cake pops, like a dozen or two dozen 284 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,120 cake pops. 285 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,680 The year before that we brought cookies just to say thank you. 286 00:11:35,680 --> 00:11:38,960 And it, it's good for the kids to give something. 287 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:45,120 I mean, they are getting so much that I like when they get excited to go give the police 288 00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:48,800 officers cookies, you know, it seems so simple, but nobody does it. 289 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:53,480 And the other thing I was going to say was I, being a dance teacher, one of, this is 290 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:55,840 might be an unpopular opinion. 291 00:11:55,840 --> 00:12:01,680 You know that being my kids go to Catholic school, any teacher does not get paid enough 292 00:12:01,680 --> 00:12:03,520 for the amount of work that they do. 293 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:08,040 Public school teachers, Catholic school teachers, special education, dance teachers, nobody 294 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,680 right now gets paid enough for what they do. 295 00:12:10,680 --> 00:12:15,640 There was a student every single year that gave me $20 in a card. 296 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:16,640 Just cash. 297 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,160 I gave me a note and gave me $20. 298 00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,280 And I, I know that might not be a popular opinion. 299 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:23,280 I enjoyed that. 300 00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,120 What's the difference of a gift card and a $20 bill? 301 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,760 Nothing except it was a nice note and a $20 bill. 302 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:32,560 Every year saying you deserve more, here's $20, spend it any way you want. 303 00:12:32,560 --> 00:12:33,560 That's nice. 304 00:12:33,560 --> 00:12:34,560 Yeah. 305 00:12:34,560 --> 00:12:35,560 Isn't that nice? 306 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:36,560 I don't think that's unpopular. 307 00:12:36,560 --> 00:12:40,080 Well, because people say don't give money because it's so impersonal, but the note was 308 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,080 personal. 309 00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,600 People say that about gift cards too, but you know what? 310 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,600 What? 311 00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,840 I disagree. 312 00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:53,120 I like good gift cards because I save them up and then use them in like January, February. 313 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:55,080 But I also love a good $20 cash. 314 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,080 That's true. 315 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,080 That's true. 316 00:12:57,080 --> 00:13:01,000 But I know if you've seen my Instagram and Victoria's Instagram, she gave us this idea 317 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:02,240 a few years ago. 318 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,960 If you have deliveries, which we all do, I mean, Amazon rules right now. 319 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,120 And they are working around the clock to bring you the packages. 320 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:16,240 As I said, they are Santa's elves leave food out for them or water bottles so they can 321 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:18,440 grab it and go. 322 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:19,440 Simple stuff. 323 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:20,440 Yeah. 324 00:13:20,440 --> 00:13:21,440 I went to the dollar store. 325 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,720 Carly gives the full size candy bars and Halloween type of things. 326 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:25,720 I went to the dollar store. 327 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:26,720 I want some iced coffee. 328 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:27,720 Oh my God. 329 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:28,800 I don't listen. 330 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:33,740 They're tired, but I also think it's nice for them to be like, oh, somebody actually 331 00:13:33,740 --> 00:13:38,040 cares that we are carrying 77 boxes to your doorstep. 332 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,600 And in my house, they have to find the door because there's eight of them. 333 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:45,400 So we have a sign on every door saying go around to the front. 334 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:46,400 For a snack. 335 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:47,400 For a snack. 336 00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:48,400 But do that. 337 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,360 It doesn't cost a lot of money and it means a lot. 338 00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:51,680 My mailman gave me a note. 339 00:13:51,680 --> 00:13:52,680 A thank you note last year. 340 00:13:52,680 --> 00:13:54,400 So did mine. 341 00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,160 So did mine saying thank you for thinking of me. 342 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,160 Yeah. 343 00:13:58,160 --> 00:13:59,160 And it's not just Amazon. 344 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:01,160 It's FedEx, UPS, USPS, Amazon. 345 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,160 Oh my gosh. 346 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:04,160 So many. 347 00:14:04,160 --> 00:14:06,120 Oh, your Instacart. 348 00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:08,240 You know, anybody that delivers something to your house. 349 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,240 Door dash. 350 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:10,240 Yeah. 351 00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,560 So they appreciate it. 352 00:14:11,560 --> 00:14:14,920 I had someone actually combat me. 353 00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,920 I don't know. 354 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:16,920 That's not the word I wanted. 355 00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:17,920 Combat. 356 00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:18,920 Yeah, that's not the word I wanted. 357 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:19,920 What? 358 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:20,920 Come at me. 359 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:21,920 Maybe. 360 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,920 Is that what I wanted to say? 361 00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,920 Same thing. 362 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:24,920 It was last year because I was here. 363 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,360 So it was last year that I posted my, I have the same one. 364 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:29,360 I laminate it. 365 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:31,960 It's the same thing I put up every year of like, thanks everyone. 366 00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:33,120 Grab something. 367 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:37,520 And their debate or their argument was that their paid workers are doing a job. 368 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:41,120 Like, are you going to do that to the cashier at the grocery store and blah, blah, blah. 369 00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:46,520 And I was like, well, I could be walking into the store by myself and doing the work myself 370 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,640 and giving them a less extra trip how many times a week or whatever it is. 371 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:54,680 And also it's just a nice gesture and I don't really have to, like, I don't think it's a 372 00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,160 big enough deal to get up in arms about. 373 00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,520 I don't think so either. 374 00:14:58,520 --> 00:15:01,760 And yes, they're doing you a service, but so is every service. 375 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,760 Every service. 376 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:07,480 And extra tip your bartender to, I mean, those bartenders, especially during events, they're 377 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,640 going over, over time and they're, it's so crowded. 378 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,680 Give them an extra five, give them an extra 10. 379 00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:13,920 It goes a long way.

Yeah. 641 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:43,600 But how fun is it to look over and see the light like going really bright, which means 642 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:47,800 your friend who lives away from you tapped it because they're thinking of you. 643 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,840 And you know at that moment, your friend is thinking of you. 644 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:51,840 I've seen these. 645

dead. 657 00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:12,840 He's on a boat. 658 00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:13,840 He's in the sea. 659 00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:14,840 Last one. 660 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:21,720 Victoria, this

from the state where you met 663 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:35,240 or the state that means a lot to you or the town, anything. 664 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,920 And every time you light it, you think of your friend because that friend gave you, 665 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,360 I don't know, a Texas candle. 666 00:25:41,360 --> 00:25:46,080 So Colleen Victoria's best friend would be like, oh, she listened to Texas, right? 667 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:47,080 Colleen and Tessa live in Texas. 668 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:48,080 Yeah. 669 00:25:48,080 --> 00:25:51,640 So both of my best friends moved

it, you think of your best friends. 673 00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:58,280 No, I would get them Pennsylvania. 674 00:25:58,280 --> 00:25:59,280 Right. 675 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:00,280 Right. 676

that make you think of the person when you're 679 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:14,800 using them or looking at them. 680 00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:15,800 I thought those were good. 681 00:26:15,800 -->

dice. 780 00:29:40,320 --> 00:29:41,320 Shut. 781 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:42,320 Yeah. 782 00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:43,600 It's a die. 783 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:49,360 But each side has like Asian food, seafood, American food, Italian food, Mexican. 784 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,120 So anytime that person says, what do you want to eat tonight? 785 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,480 You roll the dice and you have to go. 786 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:55,480 You have to go buy that. 787 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:56,480 So I had bought that. 788 00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:57,480 So I love that. 789 00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,240 I had bought a coin. 790 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,080 And one side said Gunther's name. 791 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:04,320 One side said my name. 792 00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:05,560 Who has to make the decision? 793 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:06,560 That's a good. 794 00:30:06,560 --> 00:30:07,560 That's another good one. 795 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:08,560 And you just flipped the coin. 796 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:12,760 It was a more fun person, we would have used it more. 797 00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:14,160 I think I made every decision. 798 00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:19,080 But I like the specific food because sometimes it's that's all you need. 799 00:30:19,080 --> 00:30:21,080 And then you pick the title and you're like, oh, Mexican. 800 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:22,080 I know exactly where. 801 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:25,840 What's that meme from my favorite movie? 802 00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:26,840 One of my favorite movies. 803 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:27,840 I have a few. 804 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:28,840 Notting Hill. 805 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:29,840 No. 806 00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:30,840 That's one of my favorite movies. 807 00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:32,640 Oh, my gosh. 808 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,560 Brian Gosling and notebook. 809 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,040 Notebook when he's like, what do you want? 810 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:41,600 And it's always like when you're asking your wife what they want for dinner, it's like, 811 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,680 tell me what do you want? 812 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,680 What? 813 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:45,680 What? 814 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,680 What do you want? 815 00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:47,680 It's like that. 816 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:48,680 All right. 817 00:30:48,680 --> 00:30:54,080 Next one is called the I walk ultra compact power bank. 818 00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:55,080 What is that? 819 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:56,520 Wait, what is that? 820 00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,920 It is the tiniest, tiniest on the go charger. 821 00:30:59,920 --> 00:31:04,480 You plug it in where you would charge your phone and it's like a little box and it's 822 00:31:04,480 --> 00:31:05,480 a phone charger. 823 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:06,960 So you can be in all the time. 824 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,960 You're powered. 825 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,320 No, it's battery powered. 826 00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:10,320 Okay. 827 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:11,320 Yeah. 828 00:31:11,320 --> 00:31:15,880 So of course you've got to charge that before you charge your phone. 829 00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:17,480 But hey, guys love gadgets. 830 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,040 It's a very small gadget. 831 00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:23,280 You can be out for hours and be like, oh my gosh, my phone's going to die and it fits 832 00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:24,280 right in your pocket. 833 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:25,400 It's like very, very tiny. 834 00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:27,080 Some good gift for travel. 835 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,440 I walk ultra compact power bank. 836 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,720 Okay. 837 00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,080 This one I love. 838 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,960 And I gave it to Andrew last year for Christmas. 839 00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:38,680 It is the Ember temperature control smart mug. 840 00:31:38,680 --> 00:31:40,320 I have one myself. 841 00:31:40,320 --> 00:31:44,560 It keeps your coffee hot for hours. 842 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,960 Nobody likes to drink half cup of coffee, put it down and then forget about it and then 843 00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:49,960 it's cold. 844 00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:50,960 Yeah. 845 00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,600 So this is a warmer. 846 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:53,920 It keeps your coffee warm. 847 00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:57,820 What I don't like about it is that it's black or white. 848 00:31:57,820 --> 00:32:01,440 So it's not just the thing that the coffee or the mug sits on. 849 00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:02,440 It's the mug itself. 850 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:03,440 Correct. 851 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,840 So you can't just put a regular mug on like whatever the pizza. 852 00:32:05,840 --> 00:32:11,000 It's a specific mug and it's black and that is it or white and that is it. 853 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:12,360 But it is so good. 854 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:16,360 When you wake up in the morning, it is completely charged and you are good for at least three 855 00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:19,400 to four hours of hot coffee. 856 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,080 And then you just charge it again and reuse. 857 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,680 I remember you being unhappy at this gift. 858 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,640 Not happy that she received it. 859 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:32,640 You loved his so much when you bought him one that he was like, oh light bulb, I will 860 00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,200 get you one right back and she was like, can you believe she caught me this mug? 861 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:37,200 This is so stupid. 862 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,840 Oh yeah, I'm going to sit and warm my coffee. 863 00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:40,840 Oh my gosh. 864 00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,840 It's all she talks about. 865 00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:47,880 I use it every day until that I want to use one of my personal mugs because I do love 866 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,000 my mug so much. 867 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,880 Get a temperature control coffee mug. 868 00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:54,280 The Ember is very expensive. 869 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,840 There are a ton of different brands so you don't need to be the best. 870 00:32:58,840 --> 00:32:59,840 Yeah. 871 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:00,840 Be second best. 872 00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:01,840 Be mediocre. 873 00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:04,920 Be mediocre is fine. 874 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,520 A turntable stand with vinyl records. 875 00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:14,680 It's basically just a record player with records, which I am ahead of the trend because I got 876 00:33:14,680 --> 00:33:20,680 that for Andrew last year and I and we, I mean, yes, we have Alexa, Google, we have a 877 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,760 million things that play music in our house. 878 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:28,000 It is so fun to put on a record of, I don't know, Adele. 879 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,240 It doesn't have to be the Beatles. 880 00:33:30,240 --> 00:33:32,440 It doesn't have to be old school. 881 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,240 It's, you know, in sync record. 882 00:33:34,240 --> 00:33:35,240 It's so fun. 883 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:36,640 It just sounds better. 884 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,120 There's something about it. 885 00:33:38,120 --> 00:33:41,840 Putting it on and like having the needle scratch and then again, I don't know. 886 00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:42,840 It's a vibe. 887 00:33:42,840 --> 00:33:43,840 It's a vibe. 888 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,840 And it's fun to collect. 889 00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,800 Like we got, I think I got him five records. 890 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:52,080 It was like Temptations, Lizzo, Amy Winehouse. 891 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:56,920 And listen, if you're getting this for your significant other, there is nothing better 892 00:33:56,920 --> 00:34:05,320 than going to a record shop, a legitimate old time record shop in probably a city around 893 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,760 you. 894 00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:12,000 You're going to find some gems in there and it makes such a fun day of like searching 895 00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:13,680 and doing the whole thing. 896 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,560 So you want to do that with Andrew this year for Christmas? 897 00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:20,160 We're just like a love Christmas guru podcast. 898 00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:25,640 I feel like you and Andrew would really enjoy that trip together and I will be at the bar 899 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,960 or at the clothing shop. 900 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:29,960 The clothing shop. 901 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:30,960 Yeah. 902 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:31,960 The clothing shop. 903 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:33,960 Love a clothing shop. 904 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:34,960 Last one. 905 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:42,320 It is a scratch off card with dates, like things to do on a date. 906 00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:48,160 So every time you go on a date, you get a penny, you scratch it off and it gives you an idea 907 00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:49,520 for a date night. 908 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:50,520 I see. 909 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:53,160 Not a, not December 3rd. 910 00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:54,160 You mean a date. 911 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:55,880 What is that? 912 00:34:55,880 --> 00:34:56,880 What is that from? 913 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:57,880 April 3rd. 914 00:34:57,880 --> 00:34:58,880 Miscontinuality. 915 00:34:58,880 --> 00:34:59,880 April 23rd. 916 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:01,880 Oh, you need a light jacket. 917 00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,520 No, it's not like that. 918 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:06,000 It is gives you date ideas. 919 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,600 Oh, I was like, that's exactly how she says it. 920 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,040 How rude are you? 921 00:35:10,040 --> 00:35:11,040 Got it. 922 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:13,600 We're getting better and better as this podcast goes on. 923 00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:17,320 But yeah, I know that every time Andrew looks at me and goes, what do you want to do? 924 00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:18,320 I don't know. 925 00:35:18,320 --> 00:35:19,320 What do you want to do? 926 00:35:19,320 --> 00:35:20,320 Yeah. 927 00:35:20,320 --> 00:35:24,040 Well, now we can roll the dice and it will always land on sushi if I roll it. 928 00:35:24,040 --> 00:35:25,480 And then we can scratch off the card. 929 00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,840 And if I don't like the date, we'll scratch off another one. 930 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,480 I don't think it works like that. 931 00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:36,000 However, I think that's a great idea, especially for, well, I guess it goes both ways. 932 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:38,520 If you're in a new relationship, super fun. 933 00:35:38,520 --> 00:35:41,840 If you're in like you, a relationship you've been with for a very long time. 934 00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:44,840 If you're in a stale relationship, it's fun. 935 00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:46,720 That's what you meant to say. 936 00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:47,720 I'm stale. 937 00:35:47,720 --> 00:35:51,120 But if you've known someone for so long and you're like, wow, we've really done all 938 00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:52,320 the things. 939 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,200 This is a fun way to keep it spontaneous. 940 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,760 And no, just keep it spontaneous. 941 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:00,440 I think that's really it. 942 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,440 I think it's fun. 943 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:02,440 Yeah. 944 00:36:02,440 --> 00:36:05,880 I think the best gifts to give anybody and what I think we both have been doing more 945 00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:11,080 often is the gift of doing something, an entertainment or activity. 946 00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:15,880 Like Victoria and I have been giving each other concert tickets or comedy shows or just 947 00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:18,400 something to do because we don't need anything. 948 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:19,400 We have everything. 949 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,880 Give the gift of a memory. 950 00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:23,000 Give you the gift of time. 951 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:24,000 She's making fun of it. 952 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,000 I'm being serious. 953 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,520 I'm being dead serious. 954 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:29,560 Give the gift of time. 955 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:30,560 Okay. 956 00:36:30,560 --> 00:36:31,560 God damn. 957 00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:36,680 What one year for Christmas you gave me pentatonic tickets? 958 00:36:36,680 --> 00:36:37,680 Pentatonic. 959 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,680 What did I say? 960 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:40,680 Pentatonic. 961 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:41,680 I love them. 962 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:42,680 I swear. 963 00:36:42,680 --> 00:36:43,680 I love pentatonic. 964 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:48,440 And it was one of the best concerts that I've been to in a really long time. 965 00:36:48,440 --> 00:36:53,280 And it was so fun and it wasn't like a sweater from old Navy that, you know, or whatever. 966 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:57,480 For Carly's birthday in February, we will talk about this on the podcast because it's 967 00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:58,640 going to be a thing. 968 00:36:58,640 --> 00:37:01,360 We are going to see the Long Island Medium. 969 00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,200 And that's number one, something to look forward to, which we talked about in a previous 970 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:11,800 episode and especially since it's after Christmas and it just keeps it, you know, there's something 971 00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:12,800 to do. 972 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,800 Yeah. 973 00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,880 And it's something that we'll remember. 974 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,240 And hopefully she's going to call us out because like all of our dead family members are going 975 00:37:19,240 --> 00:37:20,240 to talk to us. 976 00:37:20,240 --> 00:37:23,720 That's what that's the plan. 977 00:37:23,720 --> 00:37:25,800 But I think those are the best gifts. 978 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:29,160 And also Carly is someone who goes to all the clothing shops. 979 00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:32,520 So there really is nothing else to buy for her closet. 980 00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:37,160 And Andrew would appreciate one less item to have to put into their walking closet, which 981 00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:38,400 is now not a walking closet. 982 00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,080 I love clothes. 983 00:37:40,080 --> 00:37:42,560 I don't know how many ways to say it. 984 00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:47,320 I collect clothes and wear the same sweatshirt and sweatpants every single day. 985 00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,880 So it's an issue I have. 986 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:57,360 But if Victoria gives me more entertainment and activity presents, I'll get to wear said 987 00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:58,960 clothes out. 988 00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:01,000 See it is full circle. 989 00:38:01,000 --> 00:38:02,000 Win-win. 990 00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,640 I am just helping the circle of life in the Dykeman house. 991 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:10,360 Maybe I'll get you a neon sign to remind you. 992 00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:13,520 I forgot what I was saying. 993 00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:14,880 We do have a neon sign. 994 00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:15,880 We bought it. 995 00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:16,960 It was thousands of dollars. 996 00:38:16,960 --> 00:38:17,960 It says see fit. 997 00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:19,640 I'm good for the neon signs. 998 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:23,960 I also bought you a Dykeman home theater sign because they have this theater. 999 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,080 Yeah, it's in the corner on the floor. 1000 00:38:27,080 --> 00:38:28,080 Do you know what? 1001 00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,720 Many, many years ago, did I give that sign? 1002 00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:33,400 I'm just going to, we're going to just put this out there. 1003 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:38,160 Every single year, our mom asks for one thing and every year we don't give it to her. 1004 00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:39,560 And maybe this year we will. 1005 00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:43,000 She just says, can I, don't get me gifts. 1006 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,000 I don't want anything. 1007 00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000 I don't need anything. 1008 00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,360 I need somebody to come over and hang pictures. 1009 00:38:46,360 --> 00:38:49,600 I need somebody to come over here and put the wires away from the TV. 1010 00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,040 I want somebody to clean up, you know. 1011 00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:53,160 Can you please do the wire thing? 1012 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:56,920 She's been asking you guys for so long since you moved there and ruined it. 1013 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:57,920 I know. 1014 00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,920 And I'm tired of hearing about it. 1015 00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:00,400 We don't live there anymore. 1016 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:01,400 We don't live there anymore, guys. 1017 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:02,680 But you got a little bit. 1018 00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:05,160 But you got out of the house being like, yeah, we'll fix that. 1019 00:39:05,160 --> 00:39:06,160 Let's just move out first. 1020 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,160 And then you never fixed it. 1021 00:39:08,160 --> 00:39:12,200 And she asks for it every year because no one hates anything more than a bunch of wires 1022 00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,760 coming out of the bottom of your TV. 1023 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:18,960 But those are the kind of gifts that I think are very valuable is the gift of your time 1024 00:39:18,960 --> 00:39:23,200 and your, whatever your talent is, really. 1025 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:35,000 But don't ask us for our talents because we don't have the time. 1026 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,880 I don't think this episode is helping anyone. 1027 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:41,560 I've just made it more confusing. 1028 00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:43,240 Gift giving doesn't have to be hard. 1029 00:39:43,240 --> 00:39:45,760 Just make it personal, make it fun. 1030 00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:52,000 And literally, if you learn nothing else, don't take the candle or the fuzzy socks from your 1031 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:55,280 attic and give them to anybody. 1032 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:57,120 Spring for the $5 gift card. 1033 00:39:57,120 --> 00:40:00,200 Honestly, $5 goes a long way. 1034 00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:03,240 And if you don't have that, a handwritten note. 1035 00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:04,240 Yes. 1036 00:40:04,240 --> 00:40:05,240 Honestly. 1037 00:40:05,240 --> 00:40:11,160 A handwritten note on a theme paper doesn't even have to be a store-bought card. 1038 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:12,680 And that will go a long way. 1039 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:16,400 It's been quite a wild couple of years. 1040 00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:21,360 And so just telling someone that you see them or you appreciate them and you care about 1041 00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:26,360 them is really probably the most priceless gift you could do. 1042 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:31,160 Oh, man, you wrap that up in a bow and you send it on its way. 1043 00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:32,160 How? 1044 00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:33,160 How am I the single one? 1045 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,680 That's really what I want to know. 1046 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:40,800 She just put it in a little package and she put that bow on it. 1047 00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:45,400 She sprinkled some sparkles on top so that it gets all over your rug when you open it. 1048 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:46,400 Oh my God. 1049 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,240 Have you seen Love, actually? 1050 00:40:48,240 --> 00:40:49,240 Yes. 1051 00:40:49,240 --> 00:40:50,480 It's one of my favorite movies. 1052 00:40:50,480 --> 00:40:53,720 He's buying the jewelry for his mistress. 1053 00:40:53,720 --> 00:40:57,720 But he's buying the jewelry and he is just putting all the little, I think he puts a 1054 00:40:57,720 --> 00:41:01,400 sprig of herbs in the bag. 1055 00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,400 Yeah. 1056 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:03,400 I think it's going to be a great Christmas. 1057 00:41:03,400 --> 00:41:07,200 Yeah, you're the worst. 1058 00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:14,560 Well, all jokes aside, I think all of your five in all different categories options are 1059 00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:15,560 really good. 1060 00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:16,560 Thank you. 1061 00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:17,560 I think they're helpful. 1062 00:41:17,560 --> 00:41:23,120 And I think if you are stuck on that one item that you haven't, I don't, have any of 1063 00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,120 you started Christmas? 1064 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,120 Have you started Christmas shopping? 1065 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:26,880 I am done. 1066 00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:27,880 Shut up. 1067 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:28,880 I am done. 1068 00:41:28,880 --> 00:41:31,360 I'm not doing it this year. 1069 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,360 I am. 1070 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:34,360 I'm completely done. 1071 00:41:34,360 --> 00:41:36,000 No way. 1072 00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,400 I usually get it done. 1073 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:41,000 I said this to somebody in class the other day. 1074 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,480 I do do get it done. 1075 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,560 I said it to Sarah. 1076 00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:47,360 I said, I usually get it done super early. 1077 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,240 How do you feel that we are now attaching you to do do? 1078 00:41:51,240 --> 00:41:53,320 Anyway, keep going. 1079 00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:55,480 I usually get it done super early. 1080 00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:00,300 And then because of that, shoot myself in the foot because I continue to buy all season 1081 00:42:00,300 --> 00:42:03,640 long because I'll go into a store and be like, oh, gosh, that's super cute. 1082 00:42:03,640 --> 00:42:06,800 But I had already been finished for weeks. 1083 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,360 So I don't know the right way to do it. 1084 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:10,720 But yeah, I'm done. 1085 00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,200 Are you actually done 100? 1086 00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:15,480 100 percent. 1087 00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:17,600 But I will continue to buy. 1088 00:42:17,600 --> 00:42:19,200 That was my question. 1089 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,240 I haven't even started. 1090 00:42:21,240 --> 00:42:25,720 I think that's the better way to go because you won't continue to buy throughout the 1091 00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:31,760 season unless you have self control, which I don't. 1092 00:42:31,760 --> 00:42:33,960 So yeah, I haven't even started, but that's fine. 1093 00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:37,440 I'm going to use this list and I'm going to get you everything that you said that you 1094 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:38,880 didn't want on it. 1095 00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,120 And that's that's what I'm going to do. 1096 00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:43,640 So hopefully this helped you out as well. 1097 00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:51,880 Remember it is always a good gift to just be kind and to be giving in not just monetary 1098 00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:55,040 ways this season and every season. 1099 00:42:55,040 --> 00:43:00,360 And you are always fit because it always fits to be real. 1100 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:04,680 And you are always allowed to get your sister a little extra. 1101 00:43:04,680 --> 00:43:05,680 No. 1102 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:16,680 For legal reasons, we have to tell you that this podcast is meant for entertainment and 1103 00:43:16,680 -->
