  Speaker 1: So you want to get into controversial Christmas takes takes
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: eight seven, seven, nine, three seven one to four seven Isabella.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Good morning, Good morning.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: You have a controversial Christmas take.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, I guess so. My family really didn't
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: do Christmas list, and I've kind of carried that with me.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: I noticed that a lot of people end up just, oh,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: what do you want for Christmas? Oh, I'll give you
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: a list, and then if it's not on the list,
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: people just get kind of so upset, And then that's
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: not really how I feel that Christmas was. I love
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: this time of the year where you just get together
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: with your family and have a great meal and share
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: some stories about what's happened and the times next amount
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: of time, and you just kind of bond together. You
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: play some games, you have fun. But gifting to me
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: is more just about like if you walk past them
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: in the store and you something that just seems aunt poky,
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: and you just want to grab that for them and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: share that moment with them, you know, and just tell
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: them like, yeah, I walked by and I remembered tell
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: them the story about a lizard when we were kids,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: and this just reminded me of that, and it made
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: me feel so special. I need you have this. That's
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: what I love about gifting and things. So for Christmas
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: it all kind of feels forced these days. And I
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: just never know what to do with my hands when
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: I'm supposed to up as a gift, and it just
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: doesn't feel I don't know, it's as light as it
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: used to be when I was a kid.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Don't use your hands to open the gifts.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: It's so awkward. You're like, Okay, am I to be
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: really excited? Am I supposed to small?
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Big?
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: What am I supposed to do here? You know? And
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: then it's just it's all flat a little bit.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: That's a good take.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: But you were saying you like to get together, eat
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: food and tell stories and play games. That's Thanksgiving.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: That's my great aunt. She would have us all together
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: at her house and she would do like her own
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: version of White Elephants. So she would buy all the
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: gifts so that nobody could bring anything too weird because
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: one year they brought a fish. And she would just
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: bring nice from all over the world because she travels
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: a lot, and she would have us big numbers and
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: you could steal it from somebody else, and there would
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: be games like Christmas Trivia, so like how many candy
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: canes are sold the year and you'd guess, and the
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: closest one got this really big prize, and we'd all
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: just get together and sing, and my great uncle would
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: dress up as Santa and pass out some.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Gifts and it just okay, hold on, you never had
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: it when you were a kid. You didn't come up
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: with a Christmas list because I think lists of her kids.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: No, No, I didn't my my grandparents because we grew
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: up at my grandparents' house. They just they just made
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: it so radical you were counting down to this time.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: It wasn't really about like, oh, what you wanted. It
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: would just like spread out all these random gifts, which
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: sometimes were just things that you needed. My stocking needs
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: to be filled with, like tooth brushes and things like that,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: but something different where it was kind of funny and
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: like those chocolate coins. I got to see what they
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: thought that I would want.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Ida, Yeah, thank you. Nate. Do you have a controversial
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: take on Christmas?
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, I don't think it should be controversial, but
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: according to my wife, it is.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: What's that I think this.
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: Whole everybody giving gifts as a family, as we're all adults,
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: is just incredibly dumb, because it's like, say, you set
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: a limit at fifty dollars, and I buy you a
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: fifty dollars gift and you buy me a fifty dollars gift.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: We both know what the other one's gonna get us
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: because we put it on a list. So why don't
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: I just take my fifty bucks by the thing I want.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: You take the fifty bucks by this thing you want.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: Everything's good to go. If you got you know, five
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: people and you're spent three hundred dollars on Christmas, I
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: could add that to my other you know, three or
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: five hundred dollars, and by that eight hundred dollars item
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: I've wanted all year that I've been putting off. I
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: just don't understand the whole gift givings. Everybody knows what
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: they're getting, why do it?
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: I get it?
• 4:03
  Speaker 4: For kids? Kids is a different story. Totally cool with that,
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: But as adults, enjoy the company, enjoy family, go do
• 4:09
  Speaker 4: something as a family, you know, make use of the money.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Receiving gifts is not his love language, and Isabella could
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: be related.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but it's kind of point there. It's like I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: could actually get something that I want for the fifty bucks,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: and you can get something you want, and then we're
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: all good. We're all adults here. I get what he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: saying and then party some other way.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: And it would be no different than like me giving
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: you fifty dollars and you give me fifty dollars. What
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: did you accomplish? Absolutely nothing. At the end of the day,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: you already still had fifty dollars.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I hope.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Every year, Well, you should follow Isabelle's rule and say
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: no lists, and then it will be a surprise.
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: Well, see it, Like that's the thing. Like my we
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: went to the farmer's market. I'm in Tucson and my
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: wife and I went to the farmer's market a couple
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: of weeks ago, and there was a lady selling blown
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: glass hummingbirds. My wife thought and said, oh, your mom
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: would love that. That's the kind of gift that can
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: understand for Christmas. But the forest idea, you know, it's Christmas.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: We have to give everybody a gift who seems ridiculous?
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: All right, Nate, thanks brother, thanks for listening. Speed A
