Speaker 1 (00:00):
Are you a snooper? No, I like to be surprised.
Is he a snooper? He says he's not, but but
you sound Let me ask you this. Let me ask
you this.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
If you found out that he intentionally was snooping and
found something that you had gotten for him, what would
you do.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I'm okay with.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It because he still, I don't know, gets the president
and it's happy. Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, there I was reading there are some people that
get so pissed off if somebody else snoops. So let's say,
for example, my dearest Diane and I are married, right,
and I got Diane a very nice gift that I
was very excited to give her for the holidays. Right,
And I come home and I see Diane kind of
rooting through the closet and acting all suspicious, and I
(00:53):
know she found what I was looking for.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do you know there are people who get so triggered
by that. Do you know what they do with the gift?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Keep it for another holiday?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
No, no, no no no? Uh uh uh send it back?
Return it, return it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Absolutely, I don't need you. Why is that awful? Don't look?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I do adults snoop? Well, do adults snoop?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Kids, Oh, kids definitely snoop. By the way, return their
gifts also get him some different.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I've never heard of an adult snap. Adults snot all
through someone's text messages. Yes, I'm talking about adults snoop
all the time. Holiday gives. Absolutely adults snoop all the time. Really,
when you're looking at Kristen, I was looking at you.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
I don't snoop the You don't snoop it all. You
seem like you would a bad way. But no, I
don't adult snoop. Kids definitely snoop.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I mean I still hide stuff obviously, What are
you hiding? I hide gifts when they come in.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Put in your closet. Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's now I hide them in certain drawers and stuff
where I know they won't look.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
The But if nobody's snooping, why are you hiding.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I just because I want to hide it because I know,
like this is where I hide stuff before I wrap it.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
No, no, but I mean you should be able to
just put it in your closet. If you know Scott
and Marley aren't snooping, I.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Wouldn't be surprised. Scott won't snoop. I would bet Marley would, So.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
You think she would. Yeah, if you if you caught
her snooping, would you return her gifts? No, I'd just
be like, Oh, it sucks you don't have a surprise
the but I'm still.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Wrapping it, hiding it is not maybe just to prevent snooping.
It's so no one stumbles on.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I guess, yeah, right, yeah no, But if you put
it in a place that nobody has any right.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Being the coreography that we went through on Friday with
the bus dropping off our sun and a an Ikia
delivery truck pulling up literally sixty seconds before, trying to
distract him at the bus stop to grab the box
(03:00):
to pull into the garage, and it's like he asked
for at the desk. This is right, the one we
talked about that they only had Woodbridge. But we just
want him to be surprised that he gets at Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah right, But isn't he going to see it in
the garage?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, we don't.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I mean we covered it in the garage and he's
not just hanging out in the garage. It's not the summer, right,
So it's like you go through these efforts. And it's
not always to prevent snooping. It's just so that there's
like some mystery involved. Return it if he sees it,
return it. But he is Also if he was a snooper,
or my daughter, who is definitely more likely to be one,
(03:40):
I wouldn't be surprised because they're children and it's natural.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's the curiosity.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
And it's a little mischievous. As an adult, it's pathetic. Oh,
adult snoop all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Adult snoop because there's something they really want and they
just can't wait to see if they've gotten it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, just because they can't help themselves. They can't help themselves. Yeah,
if there's a bag, let me look. Yeah, but don't
snoop all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well you kind of threw some shade at me. You
seem like you'd be that way.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
No, I don't snoop. I am not a you know
what I am. I'm a good guesser. I'm a good guesser,
especially when I see the bag before.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Are you one of those who holds it up and
tries to guess before you wrap it?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Why do you hate that? I do it with every
gift because every every gift. Yeah, oh absolutely, this sounds
like a sweatshirt. The uh yeah, absolutely, open it up.
That's fun. No, it's not. Yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
No, because you guess something and then the person then
you open it up and they're like.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm going no, but you just guessed it, damn it?
Or have you guessed so badly? No, I'm good at it.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
That like it's been disappointing because you thought it was
something you really wanted.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I do feel bad about that sometimes where I'll go like,
oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What this is. This is oh handmade gifts. It's a
cane that know. My cast came off. No.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, Sometimes I do feel bad if I guess something.
I'm really excited about my gas and that I opened it.
I'm like, oh, okay, well this is cool, this is good,
this is good.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
But I'm a good gift receiver. I'm a good gift receive.
You'd never use your gifts, but in the moment you're gracious.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah no, no, because somebody went out of their way
to get me something.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Right, You're you're you are a long term awful recipient.
I've been established hold on.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
To things like grudges, the love grudges. That's the best
gift to give me. You hold on to things. No,
I don't just throw them out most of the time.
These people, though, that are returning. Yes, if somebody snofs,
if somebody snoops, you return it. Are they making a
big show of it? No? But imagine Diane's surprize.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Right, So I bought Diane something and she went rooting
through all my stuff and she saw it, and she
thinks she's getting some jewelry that I purchased for her
at five below for Christmas. Imagine her surprise when she
doesn't even see it. Yeah, that's the gift one morning.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That's a no. But that then, don't snoop? I agree?
I agree? But now you're introducing some tension that maybe
didn't need to be there. Why is it tense? What
is Diane going to say, Hey, wasn't I getting super
my jewelry? The what jewelry? It's like it's like love. Actually,
then I have to pretend that I didn't know you snooped?
Speaker 7 (06:37):
What what jewelry? I didn't get you any jewelry but
in love. Actually, that necklace was never for Amma character.
She was getting the All right, listen, hold time. Yeah exactly, Kristen.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Are you a snooper when I was little?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Not?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That was you of the whiteboard.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I definitely remember snooping when I was a kid, going
so far as to have little tiny scissors that I
actually cut open the side.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Of a present. That may be more than snooping that was,
but that was me.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
That was.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That was me egged on by my older siblings. Doesn't matter.
I was like five, It doesn't matter. Oh so you
were opening their gifts for them?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
No, no, no, I opened one for that. I was curious.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Because Linda was like, open it, open it.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It was my brother. I specifically remember him doing that.
Why would you do that? I didn't do anything. I
was five.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It was little little tiny scissors, but he gave them
to you, I think.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
So.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I don't remember that it said go look at our
present or they were they were just there.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
What O scissors?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Gifts or I don't know. I told you I was five.
I don't remember every detail, but I definitely remember snipping
open and then retaping. It's in my pocket myself with
these cut open some presents.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's horrible. You retape or did you? I retaped? Like
you know you got taped to so you had scissors
and tape.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So I retaped it and then I had scissors, and
she wasn't even living with us at that point, so
I was so but it was like pushed towards the
back so nobody would be the wiser.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I was so select.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I don't wonder anythinks you snoop. Now I was five,
that's not snoopy. I was five. Nothing matters? Then, yes
it does.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You don't think at five, what age is it better
to open gifts?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, I did you do?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I was.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I was like, oh my god, I'm so excited. Look
Barry Sanders, No, I was. It was I was getting missed.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Frank freaking Barbie dream house. I was stoked, even though
you knew you were getting it. Yeah, that's not a
small gift. No, I told you, that's the one time
I remember snooping like that.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
How did you push that to that? I wish Frank
would have because.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It was because it was the big one that was
kind of like it back in in the corner behind
the tree.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, that would have been amazing if he returned it.
Oh that would you know?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What if I could tell Frank today, I would don't
return it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Don't give that to her. You don't get You don't
get that for snooping. Did you ever reveal the truth
to your parents death confession? No, I don't think I did.
Would they have remembered that gift? Maybe? Oh wow, I
don't know. So it would have broken their hearts. Yes,
So it's better they didn't know. I'm telling you I
(09:37):
was such the afterthought kid. They would have been like,
whatever's a snooper? I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I don't like I snooped when I was five. I
haven't done it as an adult.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Can I ask you this, when when we bring our
gifts in for each other, do you sit in the
office during commercial breaks when no one's in there and
cut them open to look.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
And just let me get a little lucky.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I like to open them when I get home. I
opened him in front of the to the family, be like, neither,
look at what I got.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Actually, you sometimes save them for Christmas? I do, and
it's really annoying. No, and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Because I don't get as many gifts as everybody else does,
so I like to make sure that's something else everybody's
still sitting around while I still have gifts were done.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's still got his work gifts. Lie too. Hi Elliot
the morning.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Ellie, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How are you Hey?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm doing great. What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Hey, So, my wife and I've been married sixteen plus years.
We don't snoop anymore. We got adult money so we
can buy whatever we want, so we kind of appreciate it.
But our youngest daughter is and used to be a
big snoop. She found a pair of earrings wants to
be bought her that she was really open. She would get.
I froze those factors and put them in a box
in the freezer, and the Christmas I handed it to her.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Good for you, Good for you. No, that teaches them.
That teaches them all right, ever to get no that
because you got to teach him. That's why I wish
Diane would have got caught with her dollhouse. Now she
walks around, she walks around the office snooping.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Okay, now you're making up stories.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Casey could be given some to Haley. Diane's all through
Casey's desk looking to see what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's not even her present. Hi Elliott the Morning, Hey,
this is Dave Hey, what's up?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Dave Hey?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Yeah, a longtime snooper. I started snooping at ten years old,
and now I'm forty two. I still have not told
my seventy four year old mother that I snooped. And
I figure out the hole Santa thing. My wife has
to increasingly find better place as a high thing. But
I snoop on her Amazon account though she doesn't know
that yet.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Yeah, ill her to archive those, so you get on
the computer to see.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
What she ordered.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Yeah, I get on her phone. I think she may
be on to me. So, but the problem now is
our boys are also turned into snoopers, and we have
three boys, and she's a little bit mad at me
for them being snoopers as well.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Do you already know anything that she got you for
this year?
Speaker 8 (12:14):
I know everything that she got me for this.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Give me something, tell me something she got you.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Let's see, she got me a hoodie that I wanted.
She also got me a a sampler of beers as
well that I wanted. So yeah, yeah, so I know
I know everything.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Now let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
When you open that hoodie, will you be like, oh
my god, I've wanted this, I love you?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Or you be like, oh I saw this.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Yeah, I'm a great gift receiver, so I will still
have the look of surprise and enjoyment.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So I do snoop.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But yeah, now let me ask you this. Will you
be pissed? Will you be pissed?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Let's say she's listening and she returned the hoodie Christmas morning.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You'd be like, uh, I think we're missing something.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
No, yes, one hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
I would be pissed.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
All right, very good, very good, appreciated, Thank you sir.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Yes, Tyler, I bet there were some people that nodded
their heads when Diane talked about scissors and tape. Are
a lot of people looking at order history on apps
that I wouldn't do. And it wasn't even a shared account.
He's jumping on her phone that I wouldn't do.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That, I wouldn't do. That seems above and beyond. It's ritten.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But I mean that's modern day snooping. It's no different
than digging through somebody's closet. It's actually easier. No, No,
I mean, think about it.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
At least there's some sort of when it when it
comes to like having to be careful not to rip
the wrap and paper like there's a there's an art
to it. Is there an art to opening up Amazon?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah? Oh Jackie went to make a poop hi elliot
in the morning.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Hey, good morning, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Hey same to you. What can I do for you, sir?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (14:06):
So I used to you know, the modern day snooping.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I used to go through my mother's purse and.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Look at the receipts and the checkbook ledger to see
where she purchased.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
So it's no different.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's like Amazon receipts. Hey, you got to talk to
you later.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Now, I will say, I don't know why, but I
do hide receipts. Like if I go get something at
a store and I bring it home and I wrap it,
I do feel like I have to hide the receipts.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
And I don't where do you normally put receipts. You're
not collecting them to balance at the end.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, where do I normally put them? Garbage? But for
whatever reason, I don't know why. But like if I.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Get just in case, there needs to be in a
return or exchange, So.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Is it less hiding?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
You're really just putting them in a place for safe
keeping so you have an ability to return it. I guess,
but I hide it well because you don't want to
just have it out on the counter.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I get that, Hey, don't look at that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
No, no, no, So yeah, I guess I hide receipts. Yeah,
because I don't need. I don't need Jackie snooping. I
did go through her phone when she was pooping.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
I think of all the opportunities she has to do
that on your phone.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Hi, Elliott in the morning doesn't know pist code. Wellether
She doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I'd be pissed if Jackie no, hold on, if no,
if Jackie was snooping, I would I'd be I'd be pissed.
I would I'd be pissy.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Would you just return the gift or would you? Maybe?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Because then it's why should I be inconvenienced for her
inability to control herself?
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Now, this person who returns the gifts, do they exchange
for something else or do they just take down the gift?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Total? One present? Oh? I don't know the answer to that. No,
I think you get him something else. Not if you're
really angry. Well, now, if we're punishing, then you get nothing.
Charcoal books. I'm not like fun books. Thank you, Diane, Oh,
thank you. I don't have a book for you, thank God. Well,
(16:07):
I still have a book that you gave me. We've
talked about. I'd probably have eight many books that you've received,
but I loved every one of them. You couldn't name
any of them. Not true, the squit smoking book that
was not for Christmas. Oh never mind. Then hi Elliott
the morning.
Speaker 9 (16:22):
Good morning, Yes, sir, all right, so I would give
them with your kids. My sister, she was, she was
the worst snooper. She would always open up the President.
She couldn't try. She should always get caught because she would.
She's know how to rewrap them or retape them.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
She asked my.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
Older sister to rewrap the present. But one year she
really wanted the uh the Friends VHS collection, the box
set right, and so she found that President there. She
opens it up to my sister retape it. Well, my
parents knew that she knew it was in there. The
night before Christmas, they ended up replacing that box and
(17:01):
putting a bunch of cans of diet coke in there
to go straight.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
To that present.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
She opens it up all excited and boom, funny.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I love that, I love that, Thank you. I wonder
if thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
If the boys ever did that, I'd be hot. Yes
they did, I'd be hot. What cut open a game?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Maybe not to those lengths, Snooped absolutely absolutely cut open
a gift. If I caught them doing that, I'd be hot.
I don't think i'd believe someone who said as a
child they didn't just take a small piece into a closet.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yes, but not something. Yeah, that's that's the Diane level
of Snoopy. The I'd be hot. I mean at some
ages maybe you can know what. Ever, let it go. No,
like Diane say she was only five year old.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
If I caught those boys downstairs with scissors and tape,
I'd I'd be hot.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'd throw it out. No, that would piss me off.
So you're not even getting your money back the well.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I'd probably dig it out of the trash once I
calmed down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, but despite them, I throw it right in a
fire line. Six. Hi Elliott the morning with that diet coke.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Hello, good morning, how are you?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I'm doing great? Who is this.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Scary from Colombia? I remember a story back years and
years ago when my aunt was famous for opening up presents,
and my uncle was of course very.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Upset with it.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
One year he went to Columbia Mall to a kiosk
and they had how they wrapped cans and you would
bring stuff in and they would place them in the
cans and seal them for you or you need a
can owner to open it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yeah. So that kind of stopped earlist that year, probably
got too expense.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Never heard of that. I haven't neither, But that's you
know what, that's really smart. Yep, that's really smart. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
How we're going to get that dollhouse in a can though,
so Diane can't open it up and look at it
a big can. Let me get line eight hi elliot
in the morning. Well yeah, real quick, what can I
do for you?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (19:17):
So my brother and I were snooping. It was a
couple of weeks before Christmas. We went our dad's room
and he had probably bought like five hundred dollars apiece
where the paintball, masks, paintball everything. We were so excited.
So the day before Christmas, he calls us into his
room and laid out onto the bed all of that
stuff was and he's like, well, you all been snooping
(19:38):
and we're like no, He's like, well, I know you did.
We're going to Walmart right now and we have to
stand in line for like an hour to return it
off the day before Christmas.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Oh my gosh, So you involved the kid in that
process and he said it was Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Holy crap. That right, there is a lesson that's the best,
that's that's a good level. And you're just in that
line bawling.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
Yeah, it was very very sad.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
We were trying
Are you a snooper? No, I like to be surprised.
Is he a snooper? He says he's not, but but
you sound Let me ask you this. Let me ask
you this.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
If you found out that he intentionally was snooping and
found something that you had gotten for him, what would
you do.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
I'm okay with.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
It because he still, I don't know, gets the president
and it's happy. Yeah, exactly right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, there I was reading there are some people that
get so pissed off if somebody else snoops. So let's say,
for example, my dearest Diane and I are married, right,
and I got Diane a very nice gift that I
was very excited to give her for the holidays. Right,
And I come home and I see Diane kind of
rooting through the closet and acting all suspicious, and I
(00:53):
know she found what I was looking for.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Do you know there are people who get so triggered
by that. Do you know what they do with the gift?
Speaker 4 (01:01):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Keep it for another holiday?
Speaker 5 (01:03):
No?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
No, no, no no no? Uh uh uh send it back?
Return it, return it? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:11):
Absolutely, I don't need you. Why is that awful? Don't look?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
I do adults snoop? Well, do adults snoop?
Speaker 5 (01:19):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Kids, Oh, kids definitely snoop. By the way, return their
gifts also get him some different.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
I've never heard of an adult snap. Adults snot all
through someone's text messages. Yes, I'm talking about adults snoop
all the time. Holiday gives. Absolutely adults snoop all the time. Really,
when you're looking at Kristen, I was looking at you.
Speaker 6 (01:40):
I don't snoop the You don't snoop it all. You
seem like you would a bad way. But no, I
don't adult snoop. Kids definitely snoop.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, I mean I still hide stuff obviously, What are
you hiding? I hide gifts when they come in.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Put in your closet. Yeah, that's what I mean.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's now I hide them in certain drawers and stuff
where I know they won't look.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
The But if nobody's snooping, why are you hiding.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
I just because I want to hide it because I know,
like this is where I hide stuff before I wrap it.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
No, no, but I mean you should be able to
just put it in your closet. If you know Scott
and Marley aren't snooping, I.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Wouldn't be surprised. Scott won't snoop. I would bet Marley would, So.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
You think she would. Yeah, if you if you caught
her snooping, would you return her gifts? No, I'd just
be like, Oh, it sucks you don't have a surprise
the but I'm still.
Speaker 7 (02:30):
Wrapping it, hiding it is not maybe just to prevent snooping.
It's so no one stumbles on.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
I guess, yeah, right, yeah no, But if you put
it in a place that nobody has any right.
Speaker 7 (02:40):
Being the coreography that we went through on Friday with
the bus dropping off our sun and a an Ikia
delivery truck pulling up literally sixty seconds before, trying to
distract him at the bus stop to grab the box
(03:00):
to pull into the garage, and it's like he asked
for at the desk. This is right, the one we
talked about that they only had Woodbridge. But we just
want him to be surprised that he gets at Christmas morning.
Speaker 2 (03:12):
Yeah right, But isn't he going to see it in
the garage?
Speaker 1 (03:16):
No, we don't.
Speaker 7 (03:17):
I mean we covered it in the garage and he's
not just hanging out in the garage. It's not the summer, right,
So it's like you go through these efforts. And it's
not always to prevent snooping. It's just so that there's
like some mystery involved. Return it if he sees it,
return it. But he is Also if he was a snooper,
or my daughter, who is definitely more likely to be one,
(03:40):
I wouldn't be surprised because they're children and it's natural.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
It's the curiosity.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (03:44):
And it's a little mischievous. As an adult, it's pathetic. Oh,
adult snoop all the time.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
Adult snoop because there's something they really want and they
just can't wait to see if they've gotten it.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
No, just because they can't help themselves. They can't help themselves. Yeah,
if there's a bag, let me look. Yeah, but don't
snoop all the time.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
Well you kind of threw some shade at me. You
seem like you'd be that way.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (04:08):
No, I don't snoop. I am not a you know
what I am. I'm a good guesser. I'm a good guesser,
especially when I see the bag before.
Speaker 7 (04:18):
Are you one of those who holds it up and
tries to guess before you wrap it?
Speaker 1 (04:23):
Why do you hate that? I do it with every
gift because every every gift. Yeah, oh absolutely, this sounds
like a sweatshirt. The uh yeah, absolutely, open it up.
That's fun. No, it's not. Yes, it is.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:38):
No, because you guess something and then the person then
you open it up and they're like.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm going no, but you just guessed it, damn it?
Or have you guessed so badly? No, I'm good at it.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
That like it's been disappointing because you thought it was
something you really wanted.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
I do feel bad about that sometimes where I'll go like,
oh my god, I know.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
What this is. This is oh handmade gifts. It's a
cane that know. My cast came off. No.
Speaker 2 (05:08):
No, Sometimes I do feel bad if I guess something.
I'm really excited about my gas and that I opened it.
I'm like, oh, okay, well this is cool, this is good,
this is good.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
But I'm a good gift receiver. I'm a good gift receive.
You'd never use your gifts, but in the moment you're gracious.
Speaker 2 (05:26):
Yeah no, no, because somebody went out of their way
to get me something.
Speaker 7 (05:29):
Right, You're you're you are a long term awful recipient.
I've been established hold on.
Speaker 1 (05:37):
To things like grudges, the love grudges. That's the best
gift to give me. You hold on to things. No,
I don't just throw them out most of the time.
These people, though, that are returning. Yes, if somebody snofs,
if somebody snoops, you return it. Are they making a
big show of it? No? But imagine Diane's surprize.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Right, So I bought Diane something and she went rooting
through all my stuff and she saw it, and she
thinks she's getting some jewelry that I purchased for her
at five below for Christmas. Imagine her surprise when she
doesn't even see it. Yeah, that's the gift one morning.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
That's a no. But that then, don't snoop? I agree?
I agree? But now you're introducing some tension that maybe
didn't need to be there. Why is it tense? What
is Diane going to say, Hey, wasn't I getting super
my jewelry? The what jewelry? It's like it's like love. Actually,
then I have to pretend that I didn't know you snooped?
Speaker 7 (06:37):
What what jewelry? I didn't get you any jewelry but
in love. Actually, that necklace was never for Amma character.
She was getting the All right, listen, hold time. Yeah exactly, Kristen.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
Are you a snooper when I was little?
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Not?
Speaker 5 (06:53):
Now?
Speaker 1 (06:54):
That was you of the whiteboard.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I definitely remember snooping when I was a kid, going
so far as to have little tiny scissors that I
actually cut open the side.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Of a present. That may be more than snooping that was,
but that was me.
Speaker 4 (07:07):
That was.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
That was me egged on by my older siblings. Doesn't matter.
I was like five, It doesn't matter. Oh so you
were opening their gifts for them?
Speaker 3 (07:17):
No, no, no, I opened one for that. I was curious.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Because Linda was like, open it, open it.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It was my brother. I specifically remember him doing that.
Why would you do that? I didn't do anything. I
was five.
Speaker 3 (07:30):
It was little little tiny scissors, but he gave them
to you, I think.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
So.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
I don't remember that it said go look at our
present or they were they were just there.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
What O scissors?
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Gifts or I don't know. I told you I was five.
I don't remember every detail, but I definitely remember snipping
open and then retaping. It's in my pocket myself with
these cut open some presents.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
That's horrible. You retape or did you? I retaped? Like
you know you got taped to so you had scissors
and tape.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
So I retaped it and then I had scissors, and
she wasn't even living with us at that point, so
I was so but it was like pushed towards the
back so nobody would be the wiser.
Speaker 7 (08:16):
I thought.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I was so select.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
I don't wonder anythinks you snoop. Now I was five,
that's not snoopy. I was five. Nothing matters? Then, yes
it does.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
You don't think at five, what age is it better
to open gifts?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Okay, I did you do?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
I was.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
I was like, oh my god, I'm so excited. Look
Barry Sanders, No, I was. It was I was getting missed.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Frank freaking Barbie dream house. I was stoked, even though
you knew you were getting it. Yeah, that's not a
small gift. No, I told you, that's the one time
I remember snooping like that.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
How did you push that to that? I wish Frank
would have because.
Speaker 3 (08:59):
It was because it was the big one that was
kind of like it back in in the corner behind
the tree.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
Oh, that would have been amazing if he returned it.
Oh that would you know?
Speaker 2 (09:09):
What if I could tell Frank today, I would don't
return it.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
Don't give that to her. You don't get You don't
get that for snooping. Did you ever reveal the truth
to your parents death confession? No, I don't think I did.
Would they have remembered that gift? Maybe? Oh wow, I
don't know. So it would have broken their hearts. Yes,
So it's better they didn't know. I'm telling you I
(09:37):
was such the afterthought kid. They would have been like,
whatever's a snooper? I don't like it.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
I don't like I snooped when I was five. I
haven't done it as an adult.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Can I ask you this, when when we bring our
gifts in for each other, do you sit in the
office during commercial breaks when no one's in there and
cut them open to look.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
And just let me get a little lucky.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
I like to open them when I get home. I
opened him in front of the to the family, be like, neither,
look at what I got.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
Actually, you sometimes save them for Christmas? I do, and
it's really annoying. No, and I'll tell you why.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Because I don't get as many gifts as everybody else does,
so I like to make sure that's something else everybody's
still sitting around while I still have gifts were done.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
That's still got his work gifts. Lie too. Hi Elliot
the morning.
Speaker 4 (10:26):
Ellie, Good morning, sir.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
How are you Hey?
Speaker 1 (10:27):
I'm doing great. What's going on? Dude?
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Hey, So, my wife and I've been married sixteen plus years.
We don't snoop anymore. We got adult money so we
can buy whatever we want, so we kind of appreciate it.
But our youngest daughter is and used to be a
big snoop. She found a pair of earrings wants to
be bought her that she was really open. She would get.
I froze those factors and put them in a box
in the freezer, and the Christmas I handed it to her.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Good for you, Good for you. No, that teaches them.
That teaches them all right, ever to get no that
because you got to teach him. That's why I wish
Diane would have got caught with her dollhouse. Now she
walks around, she walks around the office snooping.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
Okay, now you're making up stories.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Casey could be given some to Haley. Diane's all through
Casey's desk looking to see what it is.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
It's not even her present. Hi Elliott the Morning, Hey,
this is Dave Hey, what's up?
Speaker 4 (11:24):
Dave Hey?
Speaker 8 (11:26):
Yeah, a longtime snooper. I started snooping at ten years old,
and now I'm forty two. I still have not told
my seventy four year old mother that I snooped. And
I figure out the hole Santa thing. My wife has
to increasingly find better place as a high thing. But
I snoop on her Amazon account though she doesn't know
that yet.
Speaker 7 (11:47):
Yeah, ill her to archive those, so you get on
the computer to see.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
What she ordered.
Speaker 8 (11:56):
Yeah, I get on her phone. I think she may
be on to me. So, but the problem now is
our boys are also turned into snoopers, and we have
three boys, and she's a little bit mad at me
for them being snoopers as well.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Do you already know anything that she got you for
this year?
Speaker 8 (12:14):
I know everything that she got me for this.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Give me something, tell me something she got you.
Speaker 8 (12:20):
Let's see, she got me a hoodie that I wanted.
She also got me a a sampler of beers as
well that I wanted. So yeah, yeah, so I know
I know everything.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
Now let me ask you this.
Speaker 2 (12:33):
When you open that hoodie, will you be like, oh
my god, I've wanted this, I love you?
Speaker 1 (12:40):
Or you be like, oh I saw this.
Speaker 8 (12:42):
Yeah, I'm a great gift receiver, so I will still
have the look of surprise and enjoyment.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
So I do snoop.
Speaker 1 (12:49):
But yeah, now let me ask you this. Will you
be pissed? Will you be pissed?
Speaker 2 (12:55):
Let's say she's listening and she returned the hoodie Christmas morning.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
You'd be like, uh, I think we're missing something.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
No, yes, one hundred percent.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
I would be pissed.
Speaker 2 (13:10):
All right, very good, very good, appreciated, Thank you sir.
Speaker 7 (13:15):
Yes, Tyler, I bet there were some people that nodded
their heads when Diane talked about scissors and tape. Are
a lot of people looking at order history on apps
that I wouldn't do. And it wasn't even a shared account.
He's jumping on her phone that I wouldn't do.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
That, I wouldn't do. That seems above and beyond. It's ritten.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
But I mean that's modern day snooping. It's no different
than digging through somebody's closet. It's actually easier. No, No,
I mean, think about it.
Speaker 7 (13:42):
At least there's some sort of when it when it
comes to like having to be careful not to rip
the wrap and paper like there's a there's an art
to it. Is there an art to opening up Amazon?
Speaker 1 (13:53):
Yeah? Oh Jackie went to make a poop hi elliot
in the morning.
Speaker 7 (14:02):
Hey, good morning, Merry Christmas.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
Hey same to you. What can I do for you, sir?
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Hey?
Speaker 8 (14:06):
So I used to you know, the modern day snooping.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
I used to go through my mother's purse and.
Speaker 4 (14:10):
Look at the receipts and the checkbook ledger to see
where she purchased.
Speaker 8 (14:13):
So it's no different.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
That's like Amazon receipts. Hey, you got to talk to
you later.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Now, I will say, I don't know why, but I
do hide receipts. Like if I go get something at
a store and I bring it home and I wrap it,
I do feel like I have to hide the receipts.
Speaker 7 (14:38):
And I don't where do you normally put receipts. You're
not collecting them to balance at the end.
Speaker 1 (14:44):
No, where do I normally put them? Garbage? But for
whatever reason, I don't know why. But like if I.
Speaker 3 (14:49):
Get just in case, there needs to be in a
return or exchange, So.
Speaker 1 (14:52):
Is it less hiding?
Speaker 7 (14:53):
You're really just putting them in a place for safe
keeping so you have an ability to return it. I guess,
but I hide it well because you don't want to
just have it out on the counter.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
I get that, Hey, don't look at that.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
No, no, no, So yeah, I guess I hide receipts. Yeah,
because I don't need. I don't need Jackie snooping. I
did go through her phone when she was pooping.
Speaker 7 (15:16):
I think of all the opportunities she has to do
that on your phone.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Hi, Elliott in the morning doesn't know pist code. Wellether
She doesn't.
Speaker 2 (15:22):
And I'd be pissed if Jackie no, hold on, if no,
if Jackie was snooping, I would I'd be I'd be pissed.
I would I'd be pissy.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
Would you just return the gift or would you? Maybe?
Speaker 4 (15:34):
No?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Because then it's why should I be inconvenienced for her
inability to control herself?
Speaker 7 (15:40):
Now, this person who returns the gifts, do they exchange
for something else or do they just take down the gift?
Speaker 1 (15:46):
Total? One present? Oh? I don't know the answer to that. No,
I think you get him something else. Not if you're
really angry. Well, now, if we're punishing, then you get nothing.
Charcoal books. I'm not like fun books. Thank you, Diane, Oh,
thank you. I don't have a book for you, thank God. Well,
(16:07):
I still have a book that you gave me. We've
talked about. I'd probably have eight many books that you've received,
but I loved every one of them. You couldn't name
any of them. Not true, the squit smoking book that
was not for Christmas. Oh never mind. Then hi Elliott
the morning.
Speaker 9 (16:22):
Good morning, Yes, sir, all right, so I would give
them with your kids. My sister, she was, she was
the worst snooper. She would always open up the President.
She couldn't try. She should always get caught because she would.
She's know how to rewrap them or retape them.
Speaker 5 (16:39):
She asked my.
Speaker 9 (16:39):
Older sister to rewrap the present. But one year she
really wanted the uh the Friends VHS collection, the box
set right, and so she found that President there. She
opens it up to my sister retape it. Well, my
parents knew that she knew it was in there. The
night before Christmas, they ended up replacing that box and
(17:01):
putting a bunch of cans of diet coke in there
to go straight.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
To that present.
Speaker 9 (17:09):
She opens it up all excited and boom, funny.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
I love that, I love that, Thank you. I wonder
if thank you, sir.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:22):
If the boys ever did that, I'd be hot. Yes
they did, I'd be hot. What cut open a game?
Speaker 7 (17:27):
Maybe not to those lengths, Snooped absolutely absolutely cut open
a gift. If I caught them doing that, I'd be hot.
I don't think i'd believe someone who said as a
child they didn't just take a small piece into a closet.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
Yes, but not something. Yeah, that's that's the Diane level
of Snoopy. The I'd be hot. I mean at some
ages maybe you can know what. Ever, let it go. No,
like Diane say she was only five year old.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
If I caught those boys downstairs with scissors and tape,
I'd I'd be hot.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
I'd throw it out. No, that would piss me off.
So you're not even getting your money back the well.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
I'd probably dig it out of the trash once I
calmed down a little bit.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
No, but despite them, I throw it right in a
fire line. Six. Hi Elliott the morning with that diet coke.
Speaker 5 (18:20):
Hello, good morning, how are you?
Speaker 1 (18:23):
I'm doing great? Who is this.
Speaker 5 (18:25):
Scary from Colombia? I remember a story back years and
years ago when my aunt was famous for opening up presents,
and my uncle was of course very.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Upset with it.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
One year he went to Columbia Mall to a kiosk
and they had how they wrapped cans and you would
bring stuff in and they would place them in the
cans and seal them for you or you need a
can owner to open it.
Speaker 1 (18:47):
Oh that's cool.
Speaker 5 (18:49):
Yeah. So that kind of stopped earlist that year, probably
got too expense.
Speaker 1 (18:54):
Never heard of that. I haven't neither, But that's you
know what, that's really smart. Yep, that's really smart. I
like that.
Speaker 2 (19:02):
How we're going to get that dollhouse in a can though,
so Diane can't open it up and look at it
a big can. Let me get line eight hi elliot
in the morning. Well yeah, real quick, what can I
do for you?
Speaker 4 (19:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (19:17):
So my brother and I were snooping. It was a
couple of weeks before Christmas. We went our dad's room
and he had probably bought like five hundred dollars apiece
where the paintball, masks, paintball everything. We were so excited.
So the day before Christmas, he calls us into his
room and laid out onto the bed all of that
stuff was and he's like, well, you all been snooping
(19:38):
and we're like no, He's like, well, I know you did.
We're going to Walmart right now and we have to
stand in line for like an hour to return it
off the day before Christmas.
Speaker 7 (19:49):
Oh my gosh, So you involved the kid in that
process and he said it was Christmas Eve.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Holy crap. That right, there is a lesson that's the best,
that's that's a good level. And you're just in that
line bawling.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (20:12):
Yeah, it was very very sad.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
