From price points and thoughtfulness to whether it’s ever too soon to exchange gifts, the conversation gets real.

and what they have to say. So we were here,
you were having a conversation about the holidays, and you're

things that they do for.
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Their significant others.

Some of the biggest celebrities have been all of it

that they've been received.

So we want to know what is too soon.

we've ever given you like an official title. Brandon produces
this segment.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yes, so I produce this segment. I work with Lauren
on the Breakfast Club with the Latest and yeah, so
we decided to do this segment. And we said we're
gonna do what like once or twice a month?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes, yes we are.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
He was like, you know what, we need to get
the people more engaged, just like five to eight million
people on the audio side, you know, just a.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Little flex before we get into the new year.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So we decided, you know, we wanted to do more
to be able to get y'all involved and kind of
just engage a bit. And coming from radio now, I
can say that I see how important it is for
your listeners to feel like they're a part of the show.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So here we are.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So we will actually be posting the number via like
on all my socials, I'm Lauren Lorosa everywhere, but I
also say it pretty often on the podcast as well.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Here too, So you guys will know the number. It'll
be easy calling.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We'll have it established eventually in later episodes, so you'll
have that.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But getting to the.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Question, how soon it's too soon to buy holiday gifts
with someone that you are newly dating.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
M okay, So I feel like there's a lot of
unwritten rules to this. So if y'all are not together
and it's like real new, maybe y'all talking for a
few weeks, I don't think they necessarily getting like real
new like a week like weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I don't care if you've been talking to me for
a week, if.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The like like just started dating, like maybe one or
two dates, you getting.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That Christmas you don't got to be like you got
to buy me a new house, but like something that's
just like, oh, you know what I mean, I'm enjoying
conversation with you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Here's like a nice perfume or a perfume.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Or like, I think the the I do think, the
bigger the gifts can. I wouldn't be mad if it
depends on the amount of time that you've spend with me,
because I can understand you not wanting to throw a
lot of money into someone you barely even know.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But I think it's a nice gesture.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
And then I feel like, so, what's the time period, Like,
at what point in a new relationship do you buy
a gift?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Like what's the mark?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I believe maybe like over like two months, like two months,
then we can get a gift. Or if you'll official
and it's new, you can get a gift. And even
like if you're not official, I feel like that even
depends on what the gift is, Like a grandiose gift
without a commitment's little odd? What why? All right? All right?
(03:47):
Explain Maybe I'm tripping. Explain I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I mean again, it does have to be like a
brand new car or house, unless that's how you come in.
I'm not mad at it. Just make sure you know
everything is in my name and fully paid for it.
Don't give me nothing that I got to figure out.
But I don't think that there's anything wrong with the
gesture of Hey, it's Christmas. I'm enjoying your company, I'm
(04:12):
enjoying your voice, I'm enjoying your conversation. Here's something so
like maybe in those two weeks of conversation I mentioned
to you, I like to get my nails done at
a certain place, or you know, I like to eat
at a certain place, or I'm head on a trip
for New Year's even.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I mean, no, that's cool, but I do feel like
the price point matters.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Okay, And I'm not mad at that. I mean, I'm
not mad at that whatsoever. I don't think that it's required,
but I think it would be nice, like dang, that's
like I also, you know, for this conversation, I always
think too about like Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Day, and when you're newly dealing.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
With somebody, it's like, when do you guys officially celebrate
Valentine's Dy to.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
A point where you feel like that makes more sense
than Christmas. I don't know what it is, but I
feel like Valentine's they even like, no matter how short
of the time it is, I think you should do
something like some type of gesture, dinner, gift. I think
Valentine's Day, But Christmas, I feel like it's more of
like a family thing. I think maybe that's what I'm
thinking of. It's more like, you know, it's more familiar.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I can understand that. I definitely can understand.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And I also feel like too, there are such a
family sentimental value of what you're saying, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That comes to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I know I was reading this People magazine article, not
in the physical magazine, but I was on People dot
com and they begin to rank celebrities and like the
best Christmas tree decorations, and it made me think about
just how family oriented Christmas is as a holiday, and
like when you are newly dating someone or having a
(05:45):
conversation with them, I think that there is like a
there should be at our big age anyway, there is
a pause or like a conversation about like when is
it too early to even introduce you to the people
I love, like the people that would be surrounded by
my Christmas tree and be happy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But on the top of that.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
List was Jada Pinkett Smith and the Smith and what
what couch him out, But on the top of that
list was her. They did a like a very artistic
like velvet velvet top tree with like a huge star
on the top. Number three was our broker and Deborah
(06:28):
Roberts his wife. Kevin Hart was number four with his
tree and all these trees are like over the top
right this yeah, this is this year. But all of
these people and just reading this article and thinking about
when is it too soon to buyke if I'm like, dang,
I don't know the last time I've even had to
(06:48):
think about that, because even in my new relationship, we
are settled in like when we first started, you know,
having conversations and like whatever it was that was happening,
we weren't even in the point like it was just
around this time, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So, but y'all like together though.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Now, but I'm saying last year, but.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Your business, y'all were dealing with each other for.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Not at Christmas time, no, like we know since last year.
We knew each other around that time, but we got
through Christmas. But but Valentine's Day was.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Got for Christmas last year.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That has nothing to do with that because that's not
where I'm at this year.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But what did you get? I got things and and
y'all just.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Started You're not listening.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
How long were you all dating by last Christmas?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
The person that I'm talking about, Yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Was a few months. Yeah, that's a that's a few months.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It was still very new and he was still very
much a lie here and didn't have nothing going on.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I got something. Yeah, you can't say it.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's irrelevant to where I am now because what I
got had nothing to do with where I ended up,
because it was just that was all a completely different person,
and it was also all very material. Like in that situation,
I knew I was to be receiving things because a
lot of the basis of.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Our relationship was very material.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
In this situation I'm in now, I would much rather
like how things are right now with us. I mean, babe,
you know, I want my gifts, but I value just
being able to be with him on the holiday and
be with his family and get to the meet who's
important for him. Because that's another thing too. When it's
a new relationship, you're meeting new people and you know
(08:24):
you're getting into like what are their holiday traditions. It's
decorating the tree a big thing. Do y'all get together
to do that? So like, I am excited about experiencing
that stuff more than I am about my gifts. But
I know my man, so I know he got me.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know what I'm saying. I can say that confidently.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But we do have a caller on the line, because again,
we wanted to hear what the people had to say
about these things. So our caller, who is anonymous, I
want to know how soon it's too soon to begin
gifting Bay for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
If it's a new relationship. Hi, how are you?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I'm good?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well, first of all, I want to know you know,
are you in a relationship?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I am How new is this relationship?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's pretty new? But we were dating for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, all right, so he's not a new person, but
the exclusivity and the intensity.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Of like we're together is new. Yeah, okay. So did
you guys spend Christmas together? Yeah? And it was your
first Christmas together?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And you guys exchanged gifts? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We did.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
So are you guys under the six month mark?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
We are?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So at what point were you like, like, for you,
is there a time limit on? No, we're not getting
we're not doing the gifts thing. Like if you guys
had not been one hundred percent together, right, Like, y'all
are still just dating. It's still very intentional, but there's
no where you're my boyfriend, I'm your girl friends.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Would you have exchanged gifts this Christmas?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I would have because I feel like it depends on
the rate at which you speak to the person because
we speak every day. So even if you didn't get
something grand, it could have been something personal but like
low pressure for something that you mentioned all the time.
It could be something small like a candle, your favorite snack. Like,
(10:25):
it doesn't have.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
To be.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
A grand gift, but I feel like it depends.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I agree, I think as women though for us it's
the thoughtfulness. Correct, Is that what you're looking for at
that point?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah? And I think that we are just naturally more thoughtful.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I agree, consideration is baby, get me that every year?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah, I think we'll think of like the little things
that they may not think of.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
So were you happy with your Christmas gifts?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I was?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And moving forward right because all right, you got Christmas.
Y'all need the Christmas tradition and all the things. But
God forbid this we're not to work. Would you do
Christmas differently with a new bay because y'all are it
seems like y'all are pretty early in this situation. Would
you do Christmas differently with a new bay based on
(11:25):
if this doesn't work, just trying things new? Do you
feel like no gifts at Christmas is okay for new relationships?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
So I think just being the person that I am,
I would just get exist regardless, because I don't think
I'm going to change the type of person I am,
even if the situations didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
How much money they got to spend in this new
relationship though, so week, three months, in six months? In
how much money? Like, what's the what's the average?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I don't think there's a I don't think there's a
price limits or put like a a mouth.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh you a good one?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I don't. I don't expect something huge until like we're
in a committed relationship and maybe like after the six
months mark, if that holiday comes afterwards, then I'm like, okay,
I would need you to use your brain and think
a little bit. Would you prior to that?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Would you would you have ended your relationship if your
person came to you and said, you know what, you're
pretty new. We haven't even been in a relationship a
year yet. I don't think exchange and Christmas gifts.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Make sense.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
When I ended, No, I'd probably argue a little bit though.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh we are you a writer? Okay?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Because I would need to hear your reason. I would
need to hear like, because if you know me, you
know that it doesn't have to be something grand. So
for you to still not go ahead and get something
crazy to me, well.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
There we have it. Thank you for coming on the
line with us. Happy holidays.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I like I like, I like that calling.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
She said exactly what I said.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I think it's more important to be thoughtful.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yes, but thought begins the day you breathe at me.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They just said it better. They just said it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Thought begins the day you breathe at me. The moral
of the story is if you're breathing my way, especially.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
If you what what you breathe, that that's crazy. He's
not crazy, you know everybody's.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But if I have to hear listen, if I've ever
heard you breathe or saw you blank your eye on FaceTime,
that is when thought begins. And it's nothing wrong with
even if it's just like a cute little Christmas card
and some candies.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'm all about thoughtfulness though. That's that's where I like.
I'm good at thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Men be saying, always be saying again the thoughtfulness, and they
take the gift back as soon as the thought, oh.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't do that. That's crazy to be taking a
gift back gives you back. Sis.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You can't say the other words because it's not you.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
What's the other words that I and the second one, yeah,
be not gonna get canceled her. You can't say that.
You know what you saw? Drake was on stream with
and then and was talking about the car that Quavo
got for Sweetie that he then said he took back.
And he said that he bought it back as a gift,
(14:35):
like he bought it for Quabo as a gift and
didn't really understand.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Let's take a listen to that.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Hey, all right, I'm gonna tell you you remember you
remember when when when the when the Sweety Badly was
going viral? Remember that there was an ice blue Beatley
Uh huh it was Sweety's car.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah. They said that got it for it.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, And I was like, oh, like I saw it
for sale somewhere something.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And this is like when we were Perst on Steak
and I was just paper was just running. So or
maybe it was before that. It was before that, No, it's.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Around that time, and so I was like, man, just
I was like I saw hisself like I'm gonna buy
that back from my dollar. So then I'm like I
like kind of try to do the same thing where
I was like I invited him over and I'm like, yo,
come over to this party. I parked the whip right
in the front. But you did buy it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I bought it for him.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Yeah, And I was like he pulled up like he's
like no, like he thought he thought she was there,
But what do you say?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
What do you say? Shout? But he really didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Understand speaking of giving things back, First of all, I
think it was I really think it was corny Drake
to share this story.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah. Way, so he bought it from Sweetie and give
it back to Quevo.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
No, no, no, no, no, That's why I said when I
call her was talking to us. Remember I said, make
sure everything is all the notes and all that is right,
and I actually own it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
It couldn't have ever been fully.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Like, oh that's that's a little like shady than to
do that, right, Like I can actually buy it.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yes, but don't get me nothing that you can give back,
like what And it was like I remember when this
went down, So it was it was ice Blue Bentley.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
He got it. He got this.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Gift for sweety and Christmas. Christmas of December December Christmas
of twenty twenty, and it had like it was customized.
She had like the icy snowflakes and border on it,
like the headsets, and it was really cute for them.
It was a fine moment she bought because people were
always trying to make it seem like Sweety was getting
more out of relationship than he was. But I remember
(16:41):
she returned the gift later on and like bought him
some cars as well too, like he was, I guess,
really into old schools and stuff like that. But I
think number one, it was corny for Drake to tell
us that he did that. I also think that taking
a gift back like a car that you buy, Yeah,
I think it's it's very like corny. I also think
it's it's just a controlling It's like something that you
(17:01):
can you.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
But I've never been in that situation that allegedly Quavo
was in, where like she cheated on you with somebody
you may know, and like, I don't know, I've never
been hurt to that that extent, So I don't know
what I would do in that situation. I mean, yeah,
but I would hope I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm pretty sure that no relationship is perfect, you know
what I mean, Like I don't.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
We don't know everything that went down.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
There have been allegations of like you know, Sweetie doing
certain things, OFFSET or whatever, and I know things have
been you know, OFFSET has spoke out and tried to
clear it up or whatever. But I think you don't
know all of the details into a relationship ever.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But I just feel like if you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Buy me something, especially something as big as a car
is different if it's like a little necklace or whatever,
but as big as a car, Like if you standing
on that stand on it, Yeah, let me go up
by my business in my car.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah. Cheating, that's the very mature thing.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Do you gave somebody your gifts and you don't really
feel that way? No man feels that.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
We know I do, But I just know it's like
that sounds good in theory, but if somebody really hurts
you in a real way, like you'd want to not
hurt them back, but like you wouldn't want them to
enjoy something like that that you gave them, like just
riding around Smilod another dude in the past seat, Like
I don't know, I don't know, or letting another do
(18:23):
borrow the car, and I feel like that would add
insult to injury. But the mature thing to do is
definitely just leave the gift and let them have it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, well, listen, there was speculation back then that the
car was repossessed. Drake basically just confirmed that the car
was taken back me. You know, all the things have happened.
I just we could deal without this news heading into
our new year, is all I'm saying. Yeah, you know,
but the news is there, and we will talk about
it and we will report it, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:49):

someone that you were dating.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
So Brandon is here with me, he's on the pod.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yes, yes, I'm back.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
So tell the people who you are. I don't think
we've ever given you like an official title. Brandon produces
this segment.
Speaker 1 (01:19):
Yes, so I produce this segment. I work with Lauren
on the Breakfast Club with the Latest and yeah, so
we decided to do this segment. And we said we're
gonna do what like once or twice a month?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Yes, yes we are.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
He was like, you know what, we need to get
the people more engaged, just like five to eight million
people on the audio side, you know, just a.
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Little flex before we get into the new year.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
So we decided, you know, we wanted to do more
to be able to get y'all involved and kind of
just engage a bit. And coming from radio now, I
can say that I see how important it is for
your listeners to feel like they're a part of the show.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
So here we are.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
So we will actually be posting the number via like
on all my socials, I'm Lauren Lorosa everywhere, but I
also say it pretty often on the podcast as well.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Here too, So you guys will know the number. It'll
be easy calling.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
We'll have it established eventually in later episodes, so you'll
have that.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
But getting to the.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Question, how soon it's too soon to buy holiday gifts
with someone that you are newly dating.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
M okay, So I feel like there's a lot of
unwritten rules to this. So if y'all are not together
and it's like real new, maybe y'all talking for a
few weeks, I don't think they necessarily getting like real
new like a week like weeks.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
I don't care if you've been talking to me for
a week, if.
Speaker 1 (02:37):
The like like just started dating, like maybe one or
two dates, you getting.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
That Christmas you don't got to be like you got
to buy me a new house, but like something that's
just like, oh, you know what I mean, I'm enjoying
conversation with you.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
Here's like a nice perfume or a perfume.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
Or like, I think the the I do think, the
bigger the gifts can. I wouldn't be mad if it
depends on the amount of time that you've spend with me,
because I can understand you not wanting to throw a
lot of money into someone you barely even know.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
But I think it's a nice gesture.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:15):
And then I feel like, so, what's the time period, Like,
at what point in a new relationship do you buy
a gift?
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Like what's the mark?
Speaker 1 (03:22):
I believe maybe like over like two months, like two months,
then we can get a gift. Or if you'll official
and it's new, you can get a gift. And even
like if you're not official, I feel like that even
depends on what the gift is, Like a grandiose gift
without a commitment's little odd? What why? All right? All right?
(03:47):
Explain Maybe I'm tripping. Explain I don't know.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
I mean again, it does have to be like a
brand new car or house, unless that's how you come in.
I'm not mad at it. Just make sure you know
everything is in my name and fully paid for it.
Don't give me nothing that I got to figure out.
But I don't think that there's anything wrong with the
gesture of Hey, it's Christmas. I'm enjoying your company, I'm
(04:12):
enjoying your voice, I'm enjoying your conversation. Here's something so
like maybe in those two weeks of conversation I mentioned
to you, I like to get my nails done at
a certain place, or you know, I like to eat
at a certain place, or I'm head on a trip
for New Year's even.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I mean, no, that's cool, but I do feel like
the price point matters.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Okay, And I'm not mad at that. I mean, I'm
not mad at that whatsoever. I don't think that it's required,
but I think it would be nice, like dang, that's
like I also, you know, for this conversation, I always
think too about like Valentine's.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Day, and when you're newly dealing.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
With somebody, it's like, when do you guys officially celebrate
Valentine's Dy to.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
A point where you feel like that makes more sense
than Christmas. I don't know what it is, but I
feel like Valentine's they even like, no matter how short
of the time it is, I think you should do
something like some type of gesture, dinner, gift. I think
Valentine's Day, But Christmas, I feel like it's more of
like a family thing. I think maybe that's what I'm
thinking of. It's more like, you know, it's more familiar.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
I can understand that. I definitely can understand.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
And I also feel like too, there are such a
family sentimental value of what you're saying, you know what
I mean?
Speaker 3 (05:21):
That comes to Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I know I was reading this People magazine article, not
in the physical magazine, but I was on People dot
com and they begin to rank celebrities and like the
best Christmas tree decorations, and it made me think about
just how family oriented Christmas is as a holiday, and
like when you are newly dating someone or having a
(05:45):
conversation with them, I think that there is like a
there should be at our big age anyway, there is
a pause or like a conversation about like when is
it too early to even introduce you to the people
I love, like the people that would be surrounded by
my Christmas tree and be happy, you know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (06:04):
But on the top of that.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
List was Jada Pinkett Smith and the Smith and what
what couch him out, But on the top of that
list was her. They did a like a very artistic
like velvet velvet top tree with like a huge star
on the top. Number three was our broker and Deborah
(06:28):
Roberts his wife. Kevin Hart was number four with his
tree and all these trees are like over the top
right this yeah, this is this year. But all of
these people and just reading this article and thinking about
when is it too soon to buyke if I'm like, dang,
I don't know the last time I've even had to
(06:48):
think about that, because even in my new relationship, we
are settled in like when we first started, you know,
having conversations and like whatever it was that was happening,
we weren't even in the point like it was just
around this time, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
So, but y'all like together though.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Now, but I'm saying last year, but.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
Your business, y'all were dealing with each other for.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Not at Christmas time, no, like we know since last year.
We knew each other around that time, but we got
through Christmas. But but Valentine's Day was.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Got for Christmas last year.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
That has nothing to do with that because that's not
where I'm at this year.
Speaker 1 (07:26):
But what did you get? I got things and and
y'all just.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
Started You're not listening.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
How long were you all dating by last Christmas?
Speaker 3 (07:35):
The person that I'm talking about, Yeah, it.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Was a few months. Yeah, that's a that's a few months.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
It was still very new and he was still very
much a lie here and didn't have nothing going on.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
I got something. Yeah, you can't say it.
Speaker 2 (07:47):
It's irrelevant to where I am now because what I
got had nothing to do with where I ended up,
because it was just that was all a completely different person,
and it was also all very material. Like in that situation,
I knew I was to be receiving things because a
lot of the basis of.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
Our relationship was very material.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
In this situation I'm in now, I would much rather
like how things are right now with us. I mean, babe,
you know, I want my gifts, but I value just
being able to be with him on the holiday and
be with his family and get to the meet who's
important for him. Because that's another thing too. When it's
a new relationship, you're meeting new people and you know
(08:24):
you're getting into like what are their holiday traditions. It's
decorating the tree a big thing. Do y'all get together
to do that? So like, I am excited about experiencing
that stuff more than I am about my gifts. But
I know my man, so I know he got me.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
You know what I'm saying. I can say that confidently.
Speaker 2 (08:40):
But we do have a caller on the line, because again,
we wanted to hear what the people had to say
about these things. So our caller, who is anonymous, I
want to know how soon it's too soon to begin
gifting Bay for Christmas?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
If it's a new relationship. Hi, how are you?
Speaker 4 (08:57):
I'm good?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Well, first of all, I want to know you know,
are you in a relationship?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
I am How new is this relationship?
Speaker 4 (09:09):
It's pretty new? But we were dating for a while.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Okay, all right, so he's not a new person, but
the exclusivity and the intensity.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Of like we're together is new. Yeah, okay. So did
you guys spend Christmas together? Yeah? And it was your
first Christmas together?
Speaker 5 (09:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:29):
And you guys exchanged gifts? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (09:31):
We did.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
So are you guys under the six month mark?
Speaker 4 (09:38):
We are?
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Okay? All right?
Speaker 2 (09:41):
So at what point were you like, like, for you,
is there a time limit on? No, we're not getting
we're not doing the gifts thing. Like if you guys
had not been one hundred percent together, right, Like, y'all
are still just dating. It's still very intentional, but there's
no where you're my boyfriend, I'm your girl friends.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Would you have exchanged gifts this Christmas?
Speaker 4 (10:04):
I would have because I feel like it depends on
the rate at which you speak to the person because
we speak every day. So even if you didn't get
something grand, it could have been something personal but like
low pressure for something that you mentioned all the time.
It could be something small like a candle, your favorite snack. Like,
(10:25):
it doesn't have.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
To be.
Speaker 4 (10:29):
A grand gift, but I feel like it depends.
Speaker 2 (10:32):
I agree, I think as women though for us it's
the thoughtfulness. Correct, Is that what you're looking for at
that point?
Speaker 4 (10:40):
Yeah? And I think that we are just naturally more thoughtful.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
I agree, consideration is baby, get me that every year?
Speaker 4 (10:51):
Yeah, I think we'll think of like the little things
that they may not think of.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
So were you happy with your Christmas gifts?
Speaker 4 (11:02):
I was?
Speaker 2 (11:04):
And moving forward right because all right, you got Christmas.
Y'all need the Christmas tradition and all the things. But
God forbid this we're not to work. Would you do
Christmas differently with a new bay because y'all are it
seems like y'all are pretty early in this situation. Would
you do Christmas differently with a new bay based on
(11:25):
if this doesn't work, just trying things new? Do you
feel like no gifts at Christmas is okay for new relationships?
Speaker 4 (11:32):
So I think just being the person that I am,
I would just get exist regardless, because I don't think
I'm going to change the type of person I am,
even if the situations didn't work out.
Speaker 2 (11:47):
How much money they got to spend in this new
relationship though, so week, three months, in six months? In
how much money? Like, what's the what's the average?
Speaker 4 (11:59):
I don't think there's a I don't think there's a
price limits or put like a a mouth.
Speaker 3 (12:07):
Oh you a good one?
Speaker 4 (12:08):
I don't. I don't expect something huge until like we're
in a committed relationship and maybe like after the six
months mark, if that holiday comes afterwards, then I'm like, okay,
I would need you to use your brain and think
a little bit. Would you prior to that?
Speaker 2 (12:28):
Would you would you have ended your relationship if your
person came to you and said, you know what, you're
pretty new. We haven't even been in a relationship a
year yet. I don't think exchange and Christmas gifts.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Make sense.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
When I ended, No, I'd probably argue a little bit though.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
Oh we are you a writer? Okay?
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Because I would need to hear your reason. I would
need to hear like, because if you know me, you
know that it doesn't have to be something grand. So
for you to still not go ahead and get something
crazy to me, well.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
There we have it. Thank you for coming on the
line with us. Happy holidays.
Speaker 4 (13:08):
Thank you you too.
Speaker 5 (13:11):
Well.
Speaker 1 (13:13):
I like I like, I like that calling.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
She said exactly what I said.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
I think it's more important to be thoughtful.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
Yes, but thought begins the day you breathe at me.
Speaker 1 (13:25):
They just said it better. They just said it.
Speaker 2 (13:27):
Thought begins the day you breathe at me. The moral
of the story is if you're breathing my way, especially.
Speaker 1 (13:34):
If you what what you breathe, that that's crazy. He's
not crazy, you know everybody's.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
But if I have to hear listen, if I've ever
heard you breathe or saw you blank your eye on FaceTime,
that is when thought begins. And it's nothing wrong with
even if it's just like a cute little Christmas card
and some candies.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
I'm all about thoughtfulness though. That's that's where I like.
I'm good at thoughtful.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Men be saying, always be saying again the thoughtfulness, and they
take the gift back as soon as the thought, oh.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
I don't do that. That's crazy to be taking a
gift back gives you back. Sis.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
You can't say the other words because it's not you.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
What's the other words that I and the second one, yeah,
be not gonna get canceled her. You can't say that.
You know what you saw? Drake was on stream with
and then and was talking about the car that Quavo
got for Sweetie that he then said he took back.
And he said that he bought it back as a gift,
(14:35):
like he bought it for Quabo as a gift and
didn't really understand.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Let's take a listen to that.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Hey, all right, I'm gonna tell you you remember you
remember when when when the when the Sweety Badly was
going viral? Remember that there was an ice blue Beatley
Uh huh it was Sweety's car.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Yeah. They said that got it for it.
Speaker 5 (14:55):
Yeah, And I was like, oh, like I saw it
for sale somewhere something.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
And this is like when we were Perst on Steak
and I was just paper was just running. So or
maybe it was before that. It was before that, No, it's.
Speaker 5 (15:08):
Around that time, and so I was like, man, just
I was like I saw hisself like I'm gonna buy
that back from my dollar. So then I'm like I
like kind of try to do the same thing where
I was like I invited him over and I'm like, yo,
come over to this party. I parked the whip right
in the front. But you did buy it.
Speaker 1 (15:24):
I bought it for him.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Yeah, And I was like he pulled up like he's
like no, like he thought he thought she was there,
But what do you say?
Speaker 1 (15:34):
What do you say? Shout? But he really didn't.
Speaker 2 (15:39):
Understand speaking of giving things back, First of all, I
think it was I really think it was corny Drake
to share this story.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah. Way, so he bought it from Sweetie and give
it back to Quevo.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
No, no, no, no, no, That's why I said when I
call her was talking to us. Remember I said, make
sure everything is all the notes and all that is right,
and I actually own it.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, it was.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
It couldn't have ever been fully.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Like, oh that's that's a little like shady than to
do that, right, Like I can actually buy it.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Yes, but don't get me nothing that you can give back,
like what And it was like I remember when this
went down, So it was it was ice Blue Bentley.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
He got it. He got this.
Speaker 2 (16:20):
Gift for sweety and Christmas. Christmas of December December Christmas
of twenty twenty, and it had like it was customized.
She had like the icy snowflakes and border on it,
like the headsets, and it was really cute for them.
It was a fine moment she bought because people were
always trying to make it seem like Sweety was getting
more out of relationship than he was. But I remember
(16:41):
she returned the gift later on and like bought him
some cars as well too, like he was, I guess,
really into old schools and stuff like that. But I
think number one, it was corny for Drake to tell
us that he did that. I also think that taking
a gift back like a car that you buy, Yeah,
I think it's it's very like corny. I also think
it's it's just a controlling It's like something that you
(17:01):
can you.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
Know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1 (17:02):
But I've never been in that situation that allegedly Quavo
was in, where like she cheated on you with somebody
you may know, and like, I don't know, I've never
been hurt to that that extent, So I don't know
what I would do in that situation. I mean, yeah,
but I would hope I wouldn't.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
I'm pretty sure that no relationship is perfect, you know
what I mean, Like I don't.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
We don't know everything that went down.
Speaker 2 (17:25):
There have been allegations of like you know, Sweetie doing
certain things, OFFSET or whatever, and I know things have
been you know, OFFSET has spoke out and tried to
clear it up or whatever. But I think you don't
know all of the details into a relationship ever.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
But I just feel like if you're gonna.
Speaker 2 (17:42):
Buy me something, especially something as big as a car
is different if it's like a little necklace or whatever,
but as big as a car, Like if you standing
on that stand on it, Yeah, let me go up
by my business in my car.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Yeah. Cheating, that's the very mature thing.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
Do you gave somebody your gifts and you don't really
feel that way? No man feels that.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
We know I do, But I just know it's like
that sounds good in theory, but if somebody really hurts
you in a real way, like you'd want to not
hurt them back, but like you wouldn't want them to
enjoy something like that that you gave them, like just
riding around Smilod another dude in the past seat, Like
I don't know, I don't know, or letting another do
(18:23):
borrow the car, and I feel like that would add
insult to injury. But the mature thing to do is
definitely just leave the gift and let them have it.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
Yeah, well, listen, there was speculation back then that the
car was repossessed. Drake basically just confirmed that the car
was taken back me. You know, all the things have happened.
I just we could deal without this news heading into
our new year, is all I'm saying. Yeah, you know,
but the news is there, and we will talk about
it and we will report it, of course.
Speaker 3 (18:49):
