- 0:33Speaker 1: last night.
- 0:33Speaker 2: Yeah, I always do.
- 0:34Speaker 1: What are you talking about? You always rap presents. I
- 0:37Speaker 1: don't think i've ever seen you rap a present before. Okay,
- 0:41Speaker 1: what were you rapping? That's what I wanted? Were they
- 0:44Speaker 1: for the kids? Or were they for me?
- 0:45Speaker 2: For the kids? Oh?
- 0:46Speaker 1: Do you have any Christmas traditions that you do every
- 0:48Speaker 1: year with your family?
- 0:50Speaker 2: Wouldn't you know?
- 0:51Speaker 1: No, I'm talking about like your parents, Like when you
- 0:53Speaker 1: were growing up.
- 0:54Speaker 3: Did you do anything presence on Christmas Eve? Probably because
- 0:58Speaker 3: we nagged our parents so much. Yes, was how we
- 1:00Speaker 3: normally did it, and then it kind of suck because
- 1:03Speaker 3: Christmas morning, you felt like there was nothing going on.
- 1:05Speaker 3: My parents were sleeping in. You wake up, you already
- 1:08Speaker 3: knew what you know. The few presents you had you
- 1:09Speaker 3: already got.
- 1:10Speaker 1: So it was just kind of like, but you did
- 1:12Speaker 1: that every year. So you opened all the presents on
- 1:14Speaker 1: Christmas Eve, correct, and then you woke up on Christmas
- 1:16Speaker 1: Day and you were like, now I have nothing to do.
- 1:18Speaker 3: Yeah, it just felt like a Saturday morning. But you
- 1:21Speaker 3: had you had some toys and stuff. He said on
- 1:23Speaker 3: me to be ungrateful.
- 1:23Speaker 1: Do you remember a specific gift that you got as
- 1:26Speaker 1: a kid that was amazing?
- 1:27Speaker 2: I'm told you how many times.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Well, let's hear it. What was it? I don't remember
- 1:31Speaker 1: which one it was.
- 1:31Speaker 2: It was the A Team slot car track. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 1:35Speaker 2: I got it in fourth grade. It was awesome.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Yeah yeah. Is that like the only gift you remember
- 1:39Speaker 1: from your childhood?
- 1:40Speaker 2: No, I remember that.
- 1:42Speaker 3: I remember getting a Nintendo set, and I mean these
- 1:46Speaker 3: are things like I waited like six months for. And
- 1:49Speaker 3: then the other thing I remember I got that was
- 1:53Speaker 3: memorable was I wanted a like an RC car, like
- 1:56Speaker 3: a race car. But I got the car for Christmas,
- 2:00Speaker 3: miss and then I had to wait till June to
- 2:02Speaker 3: get the remote control for my life. So I had
- 2:06Speaker 3: to wait six months. So I built it and I
- 2:09Speaker 3: just stared at it for six months. And when all
- 2:11Speaker 3: my friends were like playing with her race cars, I couldn't.
- 2:14Speaker 3: I had to wait till for my birthday. Shane's talk
- 2:18Speaker 3: about patients.
- 2:19Speaker 1: Stories as a kid, Yeah, they're great.
- 2:22Speaker 2: Oh what's yours?
- 2:23Speaker 1: I can't remember anything. Well, we didn't have a lot
- 2:25Speaker 1: of money. The only thing I remember is getting My
- 2:28Speaker 1: mom worked at Bank one. Do you remember Bank one?
- 2:30Speaker 1: It doesn't exist anymore. She worked for Bank one, and
- 2:33Speaker 1: I remember in the fifth grade.
- 2:34Speaker 2: She gave me, gave you money.
- 2:36Speaker 1: No, I didn't get money. No, she gave me a
- 2:38Speaker 1: Bank one T shirt and an umbrella and that was it.
- 2:42Speaker 1: That was what I got for Christmas. I remember being
- 2:44Speaker 1: so mad and mad ever since, I'm so mad, yes,
- 2:48Speaker 1: and I've been mad ever since. Well, you know, I
- 2:52Speaker 1: did read something on Instagram, because that's where my you know,
- 2:55Speaker 1: that's all your knowledge, That's where all my knowledge comes from. Instagram,
- 2:58Speaker 1: and that's where all my news comes from. But it
- 3:00Speaker 1: it was some type of quote or something. It was
- 3:01Speaker 1: some parenting you know Instagram account that I that I
- 3:05Speaker 1: saw and it said, ask your kids what what they
- 3:09Speaker 1: got for Christmas last year, and they probably can't tell
- 3:11Speaker 1: you a single gift.
- 3:13Speaker 2: Probably not.
- 3:14Speaker 1: And that's why it said you should take your kids
- 3:16Speaker 1: on trips and you should do things that create memories
- 3:18Speaker 1: instead of giving them material things. And that's why this year,
- 3:22Speaker 1: like we didn't buy a lot of things for the kids.
- 3:24Speaker 1: We are going to take a trip. We're going to
- 3:25Speaker 1: Park City after Christmas to go skiing, and then in
- 3:29Speaker 1: February we're going to go to New York City and
- 3:31Speaker 1: we're going to go to some Broadway shows and see
- 3:33Speaker 1: some New York like touristy type of things. But that
- 3:37Speaker 1: was and we were going to do that instead of
- 3:39Speaker 1: giving them like a whole bunch of gifts. Because I
- 3:42Speaker 1: don't know, I think it's better. It makes sense to me.
- 3:44Speaker 1: They don't think I couldn't tell you one thing I
- 3:47Speaker 1: bought them last year. As far as like what I.
- 3:50Speaker 2: Get you last year, I have no idea.
- 3:52Speaker 1: I'll say, I'm going that's fine, buy me. I'll buy
- 3:56Speaker 1: my own things or just take me on a trip.
- 3:58Speaker 1: That's all I want. And you know what else I
- 4:01Speaker 1: want to ask, what do you think about adults? Buying
- 4:05Speaker 1: gifts for each other because I told you like I
- 4:07Speaker 1: was tired of buying.
- 4:08Speaker 2: I mean, like a husband buying something for his wife.
- 4:09Speaker 1: No, you should buy me something. I'm not talking about that.
- 4:11Speaker 1: I'm talking about like, should I have to buy a
- 4:14Speaker 1: gift for your cousin and your other cousin and your
- 4:19Speaker 1: sister and then your sister buys something from me. I
- 4:22Speaker 1: don't know. I just feel like, as an almost fifty
- 4:24Speaker 1: year old woman, like I just don't want to do
- 4:26Speaker 1: that anymore. I don't know. Maybe I sound like the Grinch,
- 4:29Speaker 1: but I just I don't want to. You are the Gratch,
- 4:32Speaker 1: I know, but I don't want to. I don't. I
- 4:33Speaker 1: don't want anything.
- 4:34Speaker 2: And I don't. Did you buy your sister something?
- 4:36Speaker 1: No? I didn't. I didn't. You know why I called
- 4:38Speaker 1: her and said, don't buy me anything for Christmas. I'm
- 4:40Speaker 1: not going to buy you anything. But you know, but
- 4:43Speaker 1: I said, let's just do things together, like we're going
- 4:46Speaker 1: on that horse riding trip for my birthday and she's
- 4:48Speaker 1: coming on that and that was expensive, and we went
- 4:51Speaker 1: to Paris over the summer, so I'm like, let's just
- 4:53Speaker 1: do stuff like that, Like I would rather have trips
- 4:56Speaker 1: and make memories together. You don't have to buy me
- 4:58Speaker 1: a gift card and mail it to me so anyway,
- 5:01Speaker 1: I don't know, definitely makes some memories to what are
- 5:03Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on that? Like do you think
- 5:05Speaker 1: I'm just asking the audience? Like do you think that
- 5:08Speaker 1: you get to a certain age where you just shouldn't
- 5:10Speaker 1: be exchanging gifts with adults?
- 5:11Speaker 3: I feel like it's being full thoughtful things to exchange,
- 5:15Speaker 3: like spending time together or maybe a thoughtful gift. Maybe
- 5:19Speaker 3: it's not so much like a materialistic thing, but it's
- 5:21Speaker 3: something that someone needs or something right.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Yeah, Like if I saw something and it really reminded
- 5:28Speaker 1: me of you.
- 5:28Speaker 3: I guess solves a problem for them, or it makes
- 5:30Speaker 3: it a little bit easier for them, or they might
- 5:32Speaker 3: get some enjoyment out of it.
- 5:34Speaker 1: But I guess what I don't like is being forced
- 5:36Speaker 1: into buying something for someone just to satisfy, like a
- 5:40Speaker 1: gift exchange type of situation. So I just buy something
- 5:44Speaker 1: and wrap it up and hand it to somebody.
- 5:46Speaker 3: Yeah, so then I've just described marriage. Yeah, buying someone
- 5:50Speaker 3: a gift just to satisfy them and say there I
- 5:53Speaker 3: did it.
- 5:53Speaker 2: Now leave me alone.
- 5:54Speaker 1: It's fine. You don't have to get me anything for
- 5:56Speaker 1: Grost too late? Oh what did you give me?
- 5:58Speaker 2: Experience?
- 6:00Speaker 1: An experience, the Shane somewhere, the Shane experience.
- 6:03Speaker 2: And Sydney on a trip somewhere.
- 6:13Speaker 1: What do you think about the kids? Do they get excited?
- 6:16Speaker 2: Love them? Oh?
- 6:16Speaker 1: Yeah, I know you love them. But what do you
- 6:18Speaker 1: think they think about holidays? Do you think they get excited?
- 6:21Speaker 3: I think this year they're not very into like the
- 6:24Speaker 3: elf thing isn't as.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Yes, we did the elf again. I'm sorry, I'm so
- 6:30Speaker 1: I have to give Shane credit Shane ninety.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Yeah, you have to because I do it all.
- 6:34Speaker 1: I know Shane ninety five percent of the time does
- 6:37Speaker 1: the elf on the shelf. I'm over it. I don't.
- 6:40Speaker 1: I'm not interested in moving that thing around or making
- 6:43Speaker 1: like elaborate scenes that mess up my kitchen and bathroom
- 6:47Speaker 1: and have flower everywhere and him hanging and I.
- 6:50Speaker 2: Well, I think the ELF's is going to be retired
- 6:51Speaker 2: after this year.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I think so too. The boys are ten, almost eleven,
- 6:55Speaker 1: and I think they finally are at that age where
- 6:58Speaker 1: they're they're not as excited. They used to love it, though.
- 7:01Speaker 1: They remember they would wake up every morning and they'd
- 7:04Speaker 1: go downstairs.
- 7:05Speaker 2: They had to.
- 7:07Speaker 1: Wait until everybody was awake, and then they would all
- 7:09Speaker 1: go look for the house.
- 7:10Speaker 2: That was my notice to get up and go downstairs
- 7:13Speaker 2: and move the health.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Yeah, Shane has a horn on his phone that says
- 7:17Speaker 1: move the elf, and it would go off every night.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Actually it says Christmas just in case they actually, oh,
- 7:23Speaker 3: they saw it.
- 7:24Speaker 1: That's right, right. So do you have any presents that
- 7:28Speaker 1: you're giving to someone that you're excited about?
- 7:31Speaker 2: No? No, am I supposed to do?
- 7:35Speaker 1: I don't know. Just sometimes I think.
- 7:36Speaker 2: I got my dad a bowling bag and bowling shoes.
- 7:39Speaker 1: You're excited about that?
- 7:40Speaker 2: Yeah, then we're going to take them to get a
- 7:42Speaker 2: bowling ball.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Okay, how old is your dad?
- 7:44Speaker 2: Eighty? It'll be eighty three and for work.
- 7:47Speaker 1: So Shane's sad is eighty three. And they just started
- 7:49Speaker 1: this new thing that they do weekly that I think
- 7:51Speaker 1: is so cute. They go bowling together on Thursday on
- 7:55Speaker 1: Thursdays every week. And so, so you got your dad
- 7:59Speaker 1: a bowling in a bowling bag.
- 8:01Speaker 2: Then my sister got him like some shirts, I think
- 8:02Speaker 2: bowling shirts.
- 8:04Speaker 1: Where do you get bowling.
- 8:05Speaker 2: Shirts at the bowling pro shop?
- 8:07Speaker 1: Is there a bowling pro Shop.
- 8:08Speaker 2: Yeah, really yeah.
- 8:10Speaker 1: And Shane's pretty good at bowling too. I have to
- 8:12Speaker 1: give him credit. Okay, he's all right, he's pretty good. Shane. Actually, Shane,
- 8:16Speaker 1: for someone who never goes to the gym and you
- 8:18Speaker 1: wouldn't think was like very athletic at all, he actually
- 8:22Speaker 1: surprises me. Like when we first got married, I didn't
- 8:26Speaker 1: he like skis really well well.
- 8:27Speaker 3: And then the opposite of someone that goes to the
- 8:29Speaker 3: gym all this time, it's always falling apart and can't
- 8:33Speaker 3: lift anything.
- 8:35Speaker 1: So who are you talking about? No One? Anyway, back
- 8:40Speaker 1: to Shane, he's actually very like somewhat athletic and good
- 8:45Speaker 1: at things. So I don't know, it's surprising, Like he
- 8:48Speaker 1: skis really well, he bowls well. You know what we
- 8:50Speaker 1: went on when we went on the iHeart Trip. I
- 8:53Speaker 1: think we went to Tahoe. You played pickleball really well.
- 8:57Speaker 3: Oh all right, you did too, you're yeah, but I
- 9:01Speaker 3: meansted down the door when Keller got was locked in
- 9:03Speaker 3: the bathroom.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Keller got locked in the bathroom when we went to
- 9:06Speaker 1: Palm Springs, and you did like a one kick and
- 9:08Speaker 1: took the door down. Two kicks, oh, two kicks. So yeah,
- 9:12Speaker 1: there's some surprising things about Shane and that little five
- 9:15Speaker 1: foot seven package over there.
- 9:18Speaker 2: On Judge a book by its cover?
- 9:20Speaker 1: That's right.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Is there no true crime in this podcast? No, it's
- 9:24Speaker 2: just some traditions you would like for Christmas.
- 9:28Speaker 1: You went at fifty. You want me to start some traditions?
- 9:31Speaker 2: Why there's no rule you had to start when you're younger?
- 9:34Speaker 2: I think, oh, what do you wish you had?
- 9:36Speaker 1: I think we should go to Paris every year. That's
- 9:38Speaker 1: going to be my Christmas tradition going forward. I think
- 9:40Speaker 1: we should spend Christmas in Paris. Can you make that happen?
- 9:44Speaker 2: Sure?
- 9:45Speaker 1: Okay, thank you, that's what I think.
- 9:46Speaker 2: Paris, Texas or Paris, California.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Paris, Paris, Paris, Paris. Yes, that Paris, Yeah, Patti, Yes,
- 9:56Speaker 1: it's beautiful. We went last year in December at Christmas
- 9:59Speaker 1: time and it was beautiful, except Shane had hives for
- 10:02Speaker 1: the majority of the time. So I did a lot
- 10:04Speaker 1: of things on my own.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Yeah, what was that about? It stressed me out?
- 10:09Speaker 1: I trust you out in Paris.
- 10:11Speaker 2: I don't know. You're trying to get me in trouble.
- 10:14Speaker 1: I'm not.
- 10:15Speaker 3: Then we're gonna got out to the podcasting. You're like
- 10:16Speaker 3: you're so mean to me. No, I promised I wouldn't
- 10:20Speaker 3: say anything negative towards you.
- 10:22Speaker 1: So okay, all right, Well that's our Christmas tradition as
- 10:28Speaker 1: Shane just tries to stay out of trouble. And I
- 10:30Speaker 1: want to go to Paris, so there we are.
- 10:33Speaker 2: No, what's a no? But that's you. What about something
- 10:35Speaker 2: for kids? Like, what do you like? What do we
- 10:38Speaker 2: do on Christmas Eve?
- 10:40Speaker 1: Well, we we play games and we have dinner and
- 10:43Speaker 1: that's really all.
- 10:44Speaker 2: We do, like beer pong or something.
- 10:46Speaker 1: I didn't buy beer pong. I thought she's like.
- 10:49Speaker 3: Give me some red Solo cups and some pung ballsas well.
- 10:54Speaker 1: It doesn't involve beer.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Oh, it's like prizes were in the cups or something.
- 10:59Speaker 1: Yeah, and then whatever they get it and they can
- 11:01Speaker 1: win a prize.
- 11:01Speaker 2: Or do you get the prices yet?
