Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, So Steve, listen up. This one's from Jr.
From Raleigh, North Carolina.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Jr.

Speaker 1 (00:05):
Rights Hi, Steve Tommy Junior. I'm forty nine years old
and I cook for a living. I do it big
for Christmas, and this year I smoked them multiple turkeys
and two hams. I made gumbo, jambalaya, barbecue, ribs, and
chicken fried, chicken fried, catfish, and all the side dishes.
My wife and I invited the same eighteen family members

(00:28):
like we do every year, but this year we did
something a little different. We charged five dollars per person
to offset our food costs, especially since our rude family
members invite other people over to eat. I almost got
to fighting with two of my cousins over five dollars.
Was it rude to charge them five dollars?

Speaker 2 (00:49):
No, No, I'm not. I'd have whooped the ass they
talking about fighting over this fine? I mean, for real,
but you're gonna come over here and eat, and I'm
charging five dollars per person. I'd have cooked all this
food is all you can eat, smogash bull you know,
all this ham, turkeys, all this here, try catfish, bbecue,
all the sides you got all set to cost you

(01:11):
do you know? And and then y'all bring extra people
with y'all because everybody know you can cook. Five dollars
a personate a bad thing to do. Man, wasn't bad
at all. Man. Everybody should have said, you know what,
you spending a lot of money. You're doing all the
label five dollars ain't nothing if you ain't got five dollars. Man,
I'm pretty sure you just said, well, if you ain't
got it this year, man, tighten me up. But don't
come here talking about I ain't paying well, your ass

(01:33):
ain't getting in, oh lord.

Speaker 1 (01:35):
And on top of that, they take food with them
when they leave. Yeah, bro, that's true.

Speaker 2 (01:41):
Five dollars.

Speaker 1 (01:43):
I haven't heard of this before.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
Well I haven't either, But but I mean, I think
if you tell them before they get.

Speaker 1 (01:49):
There, that's the question.

Speaker 2 (01:51):
I think that's better than when they got there. Cover. Yeah,
because five dollars, man, I'm gonna need, you know, some
poles in the house and stuff. You know, I'm gonna
cash out me for you walk in here, You're gonna
cash out me venmo so multiple turkeys too much. I

(02:19):
am really mad at him, though I think it's fair.
I think it's really good. If he did to be
told him before they come. He listen, y'all, I'll spend
a lot of money every year just to help me
offset the costs. Not just everybody would just chipping in
five dollars per person. It's all you can eat, y'all know,
y'all be taking places and stuff. Everybody would understood that.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Me. Do you think this is a trend because a
lot of people do the same thing and invite people
over in charge them.

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Now, if you invite people over, or if your house
is the designated house for holiday cheer, then people gotta
start understanding it's a costs come with that cleaning colls
gotta come in here.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
Yeah, he says something. You usually when someone invites you somewhere,
you usually bring a gift bottle of wine and ask
them what they need.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So yeah, well yeah, yeah, yeah. A lot of families
don't do that. Yeah, I see, but they drinking that's
what they bring.
