Speaker 1 (00:00):
We'round ninety three to three fl z. So for Christmas
(00:04):
cash or presents cash cash cash is king, but it
depends on the gift and what age do we we
turn into. Hey, I want cash instead of.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Oh I've always won a cash.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
When you were a little kid.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
You're talking to the girl who used to iron her money.
Remember I told her I used to iron my dollar
bills like I always wanted money.
Speaker 3 (00:26):
Ten years old.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
Really, yes, dude, I used to sell my I will
never forget my My grandmother used to get magazines delivered
to her house, and on the Christmas and Thanksgiving when
people used to come over, I used to sell them.
Her already ordered magazines for two dollars. I love money, bro.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
What were you doing with money at ten? Though?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
I was going to the dollar tree?
Speaker 1 (00:48):
So your mom would just take you and Grandma you
so Grandma would take you?
Speaker 4 (00:53):
Yes, oh my god, I'll never forget I always wanted money.
I mean there are certain gifts I want, like you know,
bop it or yeah. The most part, I was just
always cash.
Speaker 5 (01:03):
I was never a cash guy, Joe. I was always
like a toy guy. I was always a toy guy.
I was a big video game guy. From like ages
nine until about fifteen and then fifteen it kind of
turned into like sports equipment. So I would always ask
my parents or I would ask, you know, any of
my relatives, can I get a baseball glove? Or can
I get a pair of Jordan's? Like it would turn
into like stuff that I would use that would be
(01:25):
practically day to day I would care.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
I mean, I don't got to think about it.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
As a young kid, I probably was always thinking, like
my sister Megan was gonna get awesome gifts anyway, that
for toys.
Speaker 2 (01:33):
I was playing with her stuff too.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
I just feel like cash is so not personally really.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Oh, I love cash. You can go out and get
what you actually want.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah, but isn't there something to the fact.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
That, like you thought to give me one hundred dollars? Oh,
I love it.
Speaker 1 (01:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I get what you're saying, though, Joe, Because if you
have a relative that knows you personally that you want
them to give you a gift that you actually want
to get, where you can tell we all had that
uncle who lingers in the background at Christmas, he does,
and then and then he ends up just giving you
like fifty bucks or.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Whatever, and it makes I love it.
Speaker 4 (02:11):
I literally also love going to Christmas card as a
family and then always just handing me cash.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
I do not need a give like what about the
act of unwrapping.
Speaker 4 (02:23):
Oh I'm going to unwrap that Christmas card and then
the cash falls out?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Oh my goodness, I love it. I love it.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
So there is a national poll where this organization anyone
know what the ap n r C is No me
survey about six and ten adults say that giving cash
or a gift card is very acceptable and preferred as
a holiday present. And what's weird about this is, for
(02:54):
the first time ever, it's mainly young adults who want
the if like the gift card or the cash. But
but this is exactly and I knew this was the case.
The thing is you got to ask for gifts because
(03:16):
cash has a set amount.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
That is true.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Cash is like, okay, I'm gonna give you a fifty bucks,
all right, cool? What if you want a shirt or
like a If you get a fifty dollars shirt, you're crazy?
What if you want, you know, a watch? How much
are those bucks sweat? But the bucks on Field sweatshirts
are eighty five dollars on fanatics dot com. Hey I
(03:42):
want to sweat. Okay, wait I want that sweat. Oh yeah,
that's nice. You buy it, Boom, you got it? Eighty
five dollars sweatshirt or fifty dollars gift card.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I give you the money, bro.
Speaker 3 (03:56):

Speaker 4 (03:57):
My sister called me when we were out of town
and she's like, hey, Dad, when your address is going
to send you a gift? I was like, what can
he just send me cash? Like I don't even want
the gift, Like I'm so mad he sent a package.
It's coming here, I think next Monday. And I'm like, bro,
you could have just cash had me some money, Like
why would you go and send me a gift?
Speaker 2 (04:12):

Speaker 4 (04:17):
