- 0:00SPEAKER_01: Before I tell you about the different levels of gift giving, don't forget the birthday wheel is coming back on Friday at 730.
- 0:07SPEAKER_01: And it's about$1,700.
- 0:10SPEAKER_01: Almost, almost.
- 0:10SPEAKER_01: It's like a sneeze away from it.
- 0:12SPEAKER_01: 730.
- 0:13SPEAKER_01: We're gonna spin.
- 0:14SPEAKER_01: If we spin your day, your month, and your year, you do have to get all three, then you'll call us back within 10 minutes and six seconds to claim you're almost seventeen hundred dollars.
- 0:24SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 0:25SPEAKER_00: We're almost there, my friends.
- 0:27SPEAKER_01: Thanks so much to Hessel Sins.
- 0:28SPEAKER_01: I'll give you the number now so you can save it.
- 0:31SPEAKER_01: We've had a couple listeners who have uh taken screenshots and sent them them, sent them to us of how they've saved our number and how they have set an alarm for every Friday right before we do it.
- 0:42SPEAKER_01: I hope you do.
- 0:43SPEAKER_01: Save this number 607-732-9465.
- 0:50SPEAKER_01: It's the same number we've had the entire 20 years I've been here.
- 0:54SPEAKER_00: Beyond the 20 years that we've been doing.
- 0:56SPEAKER_01: I assumed it was here when you were here too.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: It was here well before me, even.
- 1:00SPEAKER_01: Okay, then if you've ever had that number.
- 1:02SPEAKER_00: See, someone's dialing right now.
- 1:04SPEAKER_00: I hear you.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: I know you're there.
- 1:05SPEAKER_00: There are there they were.
- 1:06SPEAKER_00: Just saving that number.
- 1:08SPEAKER_00: That's a good idea.
- 1:09SPEAKER_01: Okay, now speaking of spending uh getting money uh and and then spending it, are there different levels to gift giving?
- 1:16SPEAKER_01: A friend of mine, his girlfriend had asked for something and she said she wanted these J Low residency tickets because she's coming, she has a residency that's coming up soon.
- 1:28SPEAKER_01: And she wanted them for her birthday.
- 1:30SPEAKER_01: And he's like he was saying to me, I just feel like that's a really big birthday gift.
- 1:35SPEAKER_01: Like Christmas, maybe, but I don't think that a J Lo residency, which is gonna be hundreds of dollars in tickets, that that trip is birthday worthy.
- 1:47SPEAKER_00: What did he think it was it should apply to?
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: Christmas.
- 1:50SPEAKER_01: He's like, that seems more like Christmas is your big gift giving.
- 1:54SPEAKER_00: Well, this sounds like an excuse from a guy, and let me explain why.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:57SPEAKER_00: Uh it sounds like oop, one really big gift at Christmas, and it's over with for me.
- 2:03SPEAKER_00: In other words, of having to go shopping and do stuff.
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: So if you think about it, a J Low residency, let's say it's pair of tickets, you're gonna have to get the airfare because if you don't buy airfare, you're basically like giving somebody half of a gift.
- 2:16SPEAKER_00: And a hotel.
- 2:17SPEAKER_00: And a hotel.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: Yep.
- 2:18SPEAKER_00: So essentially she's saying she wants a trip.
- 2:21SPEAKER_00: If he does this, because here's the thing don't you like getting a few things at Christmas?
- 2:26SPEAKER_01: I don't know that's you're not to overdo it, but I like the stocking with the little things like my teeth whitening strips.
- 2:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but go to gift gifts, not just the stocking.
- 2:35SPEAKER_00: Don't you want to open a few presents, you know, on Christmas Day?
- 2:38SPEAKER_00: You want to be like, you know, I I I don't I don't know what it would be, but you know, I have no idea what's on your list in your head for this year.
- 2:46SPEAKER_00: A red red light mask and a really cute sweatshirt and um now if he were to get you, and this would be ridiculously expensive, but if he were to get you a uh infrared sauna like you've been talking about, yeah, you're not getting anything else.
- 3:02SPEAKER_00: You're barely getting uh teeth whitening strips in your stocking.
- 3:04SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
- 3:05SPEAKER_00: But that one's a little more extreme.
- 3:08SPEAKER_00: But I think that that is a lazy guy's answer.
- 3:11SPEAKER_00: To say that it's a Christmas gift, that means you're off the hook.
- 3:14SPEAKER_00: You don't have to try to figure out the perfume she likes.
- 3:16SPEAKER_00: You don't have to, because there's a certain I mean you should have a few things to open.
- 3:21SPEAKER_00: I think the birthday gift should be the bigger one, spit because A, it's specific to her exact desire.
- 3:29SPEAKER_00: You can get a couple things for Christmas.
- 3:31SPEAKER_00: Some of it, maybe you got a crock pot for Christmas, along with 10 other things.
- 3:35SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 3:36SPEAKER_00: Okay, that's fine.
- 3:37SPEAKER_00: Maybe you'll use it, maybe you won't.
- 3:39SPEAKER_00: But for your birthday, that is a you day.
- 3:43SPEAKER_00: That is your day.
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah.
- 3:44SPEAKER_00: Christmas is okay.
- 3:46SPEAKER_00: Christmas is a multiple people day.
- 3:48SPEAKER_00: All right, well, Christmas is really Jesus' birthday, but anyway, uh, but we Christmas is for multiple people, multiple things.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: Uh-huh.
- 3:55SPEAKER_00: The birthday is all you.
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: Now, it's a big present.
- 3:59SPEAKER_01: Right, go big.
- 4:00SPEAKER_01: This should be given to her.
- 4:01SPEAKER_01: It should be for the birthday.
- 4:02SPEAKER_01: For the birthday.
- 4:03SPEAKER_00: Now, he, if it's a struggle to afford it all, you can play with the gift a little bit.
- 4:08SPEAKER_00: You can be like, okay, look, I got the residency tickets.
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: We're gonna have to figure out the airfare and how we're gonna get there later.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: You don't have to give the full package at once, but we can at least get you excited with a pair of tickets and figure it out.
- 4:23SPEAKER_01: Well, and maybe get to get her the residency tickets for her birthday, and then for Christmas, get a gift card for American Airlines.
- 4:31SPEAKER_01: And it doesn't have to be the right, and it doesn't have to be the entire airline, right?
- 4:35SPEAKER_01: But at least you could do okay, or you can do like uh American Airlines gift card, a Hilton gift card, and then something else, like maybe a beach towel or whatever.
- 4:44SPEAKER_00: So, what I think he's saying without saying it is, ooh, if I do it for Christmas, I've I'm off the hook to do more shopping.
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: Right.
- 4:51SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm I'm capped at that point.
- 4:53SPEAKER_01: But the birthday, think about it.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: It is your day.
- 4:57SPEAKER_01: That is true.
- 4:58SPEAKER_01: It's 100% about you then.
- 5:00SPEAKER_00: I don't know why, but I have an ex that made it all about her, but that's a different story.
- 5:04SPEAKER_01: Because my parents, uh well, my parents are very good about like making birthdays about me as well, but I think they were also big into Christmas, too, that I always looked at Christmas as the big whopper.
- 5:14SPEAKER_01: Even my girlfriends, when they buy their kids gifts, the Christmas is the big whopper.
- 5:18SPEAKER_01: And I always just assigned Christmas with the bigger gift.
- 5:22SPEAKER_00: But when you get older and you're not, I mean it's about me.
- 5:25SPEAKER_00: I know actually, I'll tell you this right now.
- 5:27SPEAKER_00: So Lydia was at a birthday party this past weekend, uh-huh, and the little girl that had the birthday got concert tickets to camp something rather that the kids like nowadays.
- 5:37SPEAKER_00: I don't know, something the Jonas brothers are involved in, or they started a camp somebody.
- 5:41SPEAKER_00: Camp Rock, who knows?
- 5:42SPEAKER_00: Yes, that's it.
- 5:43SPEAKER_00: Okay Camp Rock.
- 5:44SPEAKER_00: Whatever.
- 5:45SPEAKER_00: The little girl was crying her eyes out.
- 5:47SPEAKER_00: She was so excited because she gets to go backstage too and meet the Camp Rock people.
- 5:50SPEAKER_00: Wow, that's a big birthday.
- 5:52SPEAKER_00: I know.
- 5:53SPEAKER_00: So at Christmas time, the way you sub substitute that is yeah, well, you're not gonna get the biggest Barbie dream house or the Sony PS5 or whatever the biggest expensive item is.
- 6:04SPEAKER_00: We'll get you an outfit for Camp Rock.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: You'll get you an outfit, you'll get some things to play with because you're you're the kid.
- 6:10SPEAKER_00: But as you age up, your birthday.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: I mean, when you're a kid, your birthday is here's a few things, here's a cake.
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 6:16SPEAKER_00: Then it morphs into let's have some parties, and you know, maybe this.
