Do NOT bring containers.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
One of six point seven light a FM with Kubby

(00:01):
and Christine in the morning. Producer Kristin here every day
and again this is what day four of our microphone
not working or day three so making us crazy. Thumbs
up thumbs down from Kristin on how we're doing on
timing and everything. So thank you for the cues there.
I appreciate you so much. We'll get that mic fixed
very very soon.

Speaker 2 (00:19):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Are you a polite person? I hope you are. I
think most of our listeners are. But maybe you're polite,
but you're not polite. Like you think you're being polite,
but you're not being polite. And here's where we're going,
and involves Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (00:33):
It involves Thanksgiving things that we may be doing which
we think, oh this is cool, but the host may
find rude.

Speaker 3 (00:41):
And I've done one of these, by the way, have
you you're gonna mention it all right?

Speaker 2 (00:44):
One of them is you're invited to a Thanksgiving dinner, right,
you're the guest, you're not the host, and you bring
over some large leftover containers, you know, empties.

Speaker 3 (00:54):
I did that one time.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
You did?

Speaker 1 (00:55):
Yeah, well they weren't large containers. Okay, But I've been
going to this house many many years, and they were
like family to me, and they always talk about, hey,
take some food home, and they would always give me stuff. Right,
I thought I'd be proactive and bring my own stuff,
my own tupperware.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
See then, But it sounds like it's cool in your
situation because you always brought stuff home.

Speaker 3 (01:15):
But if you're a first time or somewhere, or if.

Speaker 2 (01:17):
You don't have the understanding in advance, like because maybe
they need the leftovers for their family. True, which tends
to happen to me when I go to my sister
in law. She makes such great food, but I understand
she's got to feed people, so she will give me
a little bit. But I don't go walking in with
containers like expecting that I'm going to walk away with
a ton of leftovers. It's not cool if you provide

(01:40):
your expertise on how to cook and prepare the food.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Rights is not going to like that.

Speaker 1 (01:47):
Just enjoy the fact that you've been invited over. Be quiet,
sit on the couch, have a drink, and let the
meal be starved.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Right bringing ingredients for a dish that the host has
to put together like they may not have time or
the space in the oven to now add in another
dish that they've actually got to work on there. They
kind of have timed everything out, asking if you can
help repeatedly. So, yeah, it's polite to one time say hey,
can I help with anything? And if they say no, no,

(02:16):
I've got it, just leave it alone.

Speaker 3 (02:18):
Well maybe twice, not once. I would. I would probably
say it twice to go confirm, go in twice. Yeah,
but going about it.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
Don't be annoying about it. Yeah, offering to cook when
you can't, like your skills are limited, I've done that.

Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, I really can't do a damn thing.

Speaker 2 (02:35):
Please say no, right, and then suggesting to change the
place settings. The host has decided where guests would sit.
And even if you think you just want to keep
the peace, you know you're next to an uncle who
has something to say.

Speaker 3 (02:47):
I don't know what it is.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
It's really not your gig, it's not your job. Let
the host make all these calls.

Speaker 1 (02:53):
Well, if you or a friend you know have done
any of those things, we're available on text chime in
anytime at four four, three, six three
