I can tell you, and.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Everybody?
Speaker 1 (00:13):
All right, Yeah, no, that's a that's a good point.
Christmas shopping starts this weekend for a lot of people.
Some people have already started. But if you still have
a ways to go, I'm telling you right now, this
is a horrible, horrible gift idea.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Now let's let's tangent over here.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
All right, let's let's think what would be a cause
that I would be into, not me, but just in general.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
You mean like a charity more like a yeah, a
charity tied to a cause.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
Like like hockey fights cancer. Yeah. No, I'm trying to
think of something you like that's awesome, But.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I'm saying it doesn't have to be about me specifically,
but like, what is something like what is something that
people get behind the National Center.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
The No, that's me, that's me.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
How about you can donate to the Saint Jude Anthra Society.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
Yeah, okay, all right, well you Saint Jude will use
Saint ju Here's a horrible and I think most people
would go no, no, I'm being serious.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
Is the fact that it's Saint Jude now is making
me very nervous.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
This is trust me. This Saint Jude does fine. The
no no.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
But let's say I was really into Saint Jude.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Okay, we're saying.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
That, right. So Man Elliott loves Saint Jude.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
He's always got he's a big supporter, does.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Whatever he can't at every register of holidays.
Speaker 1 (01:43):
Yeah, no, no, and they're a good organized organization seeing
his return is the So for your birthday, for all
of your birthday, oh, let's do it. For Christmas, I
got everybody a Christmas gift. I got Christin something, I
got Diane something, and I got Tyler something.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
But everything that I got you was from the mert
shop of Saint Jude.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
So it obviously benefits Satan June.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Horrible idea. Horrible idea.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And by the way, you could substitute Saint Jude with
a I love I Love Polar Bears, right if there
was a save the Polar Bear thing, which I'm sure
there is if for this year for Christmas, I got
you a Save the Polar Bears T shirt.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Horrible gift idea. You're not into that. You're not into that,
and you're not into that.
Speaker 5 (02:40):
But what if it comes with oh as as part
of that.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
I say that, do not?
Speaker 4 (02:45):
I also do not.
Speaker 5 (02:46):
I'm sorry, Shreenie, don't do not donated money which is
going to need a polar Bear for a week?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
No, no, you know why? You know why? Uh, that's
not a gift. That's not a gift. So when I
am my gift to you, is I donated?
Speaker 4 (02:59):
No, oh, I adopt.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
I'll donate if I want.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
On your behalf the olive oil tree.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Exactly?
Speaker 4 (03:08):
Were you okay with that? Because it also gave.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
You that's a gift? Yeah? Get the oil?
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Was the gift something?
Speaker 1 (03:14):
You know what it wasn't It wasn't a sweatshirt that
said I I support Olive Oil.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
Okay, shirts and sweatshirts. What if it was a plush
of a polar bear?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Are you giving me a toy? I'm an adult?
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Sorry?
Speaker 2 (03:33):
No, you know what?
Speaker 1 (03:34):
Or it would be like like like if I was
all peda right, and then my gift to you for
Christmas is a Gavin Rossdale No, but is like is
I don't know what they sell online at the Pea
merch Store but that would be your Christmas.
Speaker 4 (03:52):
What is your problem with these? Because it's charity.
Speaker 2 (03:55):
No, it's your social cause. It's not the recipient social cause.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
So it's not that it's a charitable I don't.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Care if the idea.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
If it's charity, it's not personalized for the recipient.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
Yes, yeah, like you love when you get.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Just cash or in the back of the day when
you get would get a gift card. You liked that, Yes,
but that cash is the least personal gift you can give.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
No, it's it's actually not because this is anti personal.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
This is anti personal.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Again, I I there's really nothing I'm passionate about. No, no,
But like the Center, the Center is a perfect one, right,
the Center is a perfect one.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
And Diane doesn't give two s's about the Center.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
That's not true.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
I know.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
That's why I can't use the Center as the example.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
But it would be like if it's something that is
a social thing for me but not for anybody else.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
If I give you that, that that's not a gift
for you.
Speaker 1 (04:59):
There's a horrible gift. And so what are you supposed
to do? Be out there going like I'm all for
sled hockey. Well, would you would be, but you wouldn't
wear that. Do you understand what I mean?
Speaker 5 (05:10):
You're supposed to and for the person your your gift
not from a very young age that any gift you
should accept.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
I'll accept it. Yeah, I'll accept it. No, not stop
my feet the Yeah, because you know what like what
is something Diane would be into.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
Did you already get something like this and it set
you off?
Speaker 3 (05:31):
The Well, Christmas card in the mail yesterday from Hennessy,
I didn't get mine yet.
Speaker 5 (05:37):
I never did you, Well, no, it's it's it's actually
it's it's his wife's one that she.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
Does for her real estate business.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Definitely, never kind of counts. Never gotten that.
Speaker 4 (05:48):
I got a family one in the mail yesterday from Christmas.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
I haven't gotten any of those.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
But yeah, did you get a gift like this? I
have someone recently. But it's a horrible gift idea. It
is a horrible gift idea. And so I'm supposed to
go get everybody that I know this year. I'm getting
everybody something from the hug A Polar Bear Foundation. Worse,
I'm getting something everybody something from the Pita online merch
(06:15):
store because I found Pita in my life horrible.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
Gift idea because that's not for you, that's for me.
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Does it also seem too easy to just go?
Speaker 2 (06:29):
It's definitely it.
Speaker 3 (06:32):
Is.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
It's easy. It's easy in that it's one stop.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
And it's also like I don't have to think about, like,
you know what Diane likes? I hope, because I hope
she likes this Peda T shirt.
Speaker 4 (06:47):
Does Pita sell a lot of merchandise?
Speaker 2 (06:49):
I bet they do. I bet they do.
Speaker 4 (06:51):
Oh yeah, right here you shop on Peter dot org.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, there you go. Oh, here you go.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
Speak up for animal sweatshirt.
Speaker 2 (06:55):
There you go, Diane, I got you that, speak up
for animal's T shirt with a Peda thing.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
Well thanks, I love it. The speciesm live vegan and
for Tyler, some drink wear oat milk. But wouldn't you, honestly,
wouldn't you be furious if.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Somebody got you that because Pete is not your thing.
Speaker 4 (07:16):
Pete is I think a divisive one to go after.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
Pick any I'm Saint Jude.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
Because I'm not wearing a meat stinks T shirt. Saint
Jude is not device now correct?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
But are you gonna?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
But that's what you want is a Saint Jude sweatshirt,
I'll answer, And I.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Know it sounds bad.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
No, because if you knew me, you know I don't
want that.
Speaker 4 (07:40):
Well, what if I could find you something that I
thought suited you better?
Speaker 5 (07:43):
Yeah, like a Saint Jude hockey puck.
Speaker 1 (07:45):
They don't have one. I guarantee you they don't have one.
There you go, by the way, get off of this page.
Because I don't want any Saint Jude merch. No, And
it sounds bad to say I don't think Saint Jude
is bad.
Speaker 4 (07:59):
Well have you looked at the hats?
Speaker 2 (08:01):
I don't wear hats?
Speaker 4 (08:03):
You wear that?
Speaker 3 (08:04):
I weeah, I wear that scully which, by the way,
you don't see.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Here you go, they have Saint Jude with the letters
upside down.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
The oh, I'm not wearing it.
Speaker 4 (08:15):
They don't actually have but you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Like, and again that's not a criticism of Saint Jude.
They do, wonder they probably they probably do more for
people than I do.
Speaker 4 (08:25):
What if I got you an ornament for your tree?
Speaker 2 (08:27):
Awesome?
Speaker 4 (08:27):
I'm Jewish to stop it.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
You and you know what, we picked the ornaments we
want on it.
Speaker 4 (08:33):
You've never e been gifted an ornament?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
I have, And but they're from people who go, oh,
you know what, we got you a ornament. Here's your like,
for example, the ones that we just got of our
animals from whatever that nice lady's name was.
Speaker 2 (08:45):
That's nice. You know what.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I don't need the kid like wishing on a star
or whatever their logo is.
Speaker 2 (08:51):
That's not for me.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
That's a lapelton actually, and I agree, you do not
need that.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
That would make no sense.
Speaker 1 (08:59):
But see, nobody's understanding what I'm saying. Nobody's understanding what
I'm saying.
Speaker 4 (09:08):
I'm sure we can find something.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
No you can't.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
You can't, but you support their cause.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
This has nothing to do with whether they are a
good or bad organization.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
Look at this ruby glham full leather tote.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Oh, by the way, I hope it stores a lot,
because all the other trash from Christmas will end up
in there and then in the garbage.
Speaker 4 (09:31):
Come on, Diane, got a ton of jewelry.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
I'm just I don't wear jewelry.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
A tie. Awesome, there's a lot they have to offer.
This says more than.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
There's nobody following me? Is nobody following me?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I think we're trying to pick apart exactly what your
problem is because.
Speaker 2 (09:50):
You've kind of got it in a shift for you.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
It's not a gift for you, and it's a whole
social cause I don't know socially if you're into that.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
I under you may That's why I said Peter was
a bad example.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
You may hate Saint Jude. Maybe you had a bad
example of experience.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
But that's my gift to you is now I'm expecting
you to walk around for celebrating Saint Jude.
Speaker 5 (10:19):
Now, I just can't get naming a star after somebody
out of my head.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
By the way, A better gift really a better gift. Absolutely,
it's dumb, it's a waste of money, but at least
I don't have to, like now feel compelled that I'm
walking around advertising some cause that I'm.
Speaker 3 (10:34):
Not into Cody, right, thank you, Cody'll get it. I
think Kristen would have liked any gift today. And Kristen's
worried that you're actually going back to something she got you.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
What you're actually a very thoughtful gift giver.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (10:56):
What did you get me?
Speaker 4 (10:57):
One year? For Christmas? I got you a certificate saying
that you are part owner of Fiona the Hippo.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Now that is true. Now, two things number one. You know,
let me get through this. Two things number one, number one,
but you know that that means something to me. That
means something to me.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
But I gave you a sheet of paper in a
frame saying.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
That's true, that's true.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
But you know that that means that's not your cause,
and I'm like, I don't care about Fiona. That would
be the difference. It would be like me giving Diane
part ownership of Fiona. She'd be like, great, I'll wipe
my ass with it. So that that's it. Also number two.
It also wasn't the only gift.
Speaker 2 (11:37):
Oh I know, but thank you. That's the number no.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
But that's a perfect example. I care about Fiona. I
care about Fiona. So you gave me something that means
something to me. If you cared about Fiona and I didn't,
I don't want that. Yeah, I don't want that. Yeah
you know what that is. I'm gonna pull that thing
out and make maybe I'll use the frame for something else.
(12:02):
That's the difference. If I care about Fiona, I love Fiona.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Okay, So that was a good gift, yes, but.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
You could see where if I gave that to somebody
who doesn't care about Fiona.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
What a horrible gift, What a trash gift?
Speaker 4 (12:20):
Remember I when you got you the Fiona.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Greater's goddamn Fiona stuff ice cream?
Speaker 2 (12:27):
Yeah, which is great?
Speaker 4 (12:29):
Which is great?
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Yeah? No, no, still use it, still use it.
Speaker 1 (12:32):
However, if I got that for you, wouldn't you be like,
this is a dumb gift.
Speaker 2 (12:38):
It wouldn't make sense.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Exactly, it's different than the story you're telling it right,
the charity or right?
Speaker 2 (12:45):
But you would feel like this is stupid, like it
means nothing, which.
Speaker 4 (12:49):
Seemed I got the wrong bag. Yes, because you also have.
But if you travel to Cincinnati and everyone.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
No, Yeah, if I got you Greaters, which again is
a food which should not be a gift.
Speaker 4 (13:01):
Although I did love the year we got all the
Greaters remember.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
Yeah, Oh it's awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
But the but what I'm saying is that would make sense.
You've had Graders, you like it?
Speaker 6 (13:09):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (13:10):
What do you do with a Fiona bowl?
Speaker 4 (13:12):
I don't have a dedicated ice cream bowl?
Speaker 2 (13:15):
You don't?
Speaker 4 (13:16):
How many do you have elis? Or you like to
put it on the stack?
Speaker 2 (13:23):
Am I not explaining my gifts per issue? Well enough?
Speaker 4 (13:27):
I again, you've hit on many different reasons.
Speaker 2 (13:31):
Your cause is not my cause, don't give me.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
Your cause if that's the underlying reason. Now you've communicated
yourself clearly.
Speaker 2 (13:41):
Yes, and for I mean, the Center actually is great.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
If there was somebody that I didn't know who had
no like run in or experience with the Center, I
love the Center.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
I would do anything for the Center.
Speaker 1 (13:56):
But if everybody I got, like if I called, like
somebody who doesn't live here Bonaducci, I don't know why
I'm back giving him gift. If I send him a
T shirt from the National Center, I mean, would he
be appreciative.
Speaker 2 (14:09):
Probably not. He'd be like what I haven't heard from
a year?
Speaker 4 (14:14):
That would be a strange Yes, reach out to reach
out to with a prison, Yes, but.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
I'm trying to get back in exchange.
Speaker 4 (14:23):
How about a text to start?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Hey, Danny, what's your address? I'm sending you a gift?
Where am I going? Line one?
Speaker 4 (14:30):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (14:30):
Elliet in the morning?
Speaker 5 (14:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (14:33):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Who's this?
Speaker 4 (14:35):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (14:36):
This is Matt from Waxhaw, North Carolina. How are you today?
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah? I'm doing great? What's going on?
Speaker 1 (14:41):
So?
Speaker 7 (14:41):
Hey?
Speaker 6 (14:41):
I used to work for had an employer that thought
a great gifted Christmas gift for his employees was to
adopt orphans in foreign countries and then sign you up
for email mailing lists to try and get additional donations
throughout the year for the different Christian holidays.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
Two weeks. That's what I would a two weeks. Notice,
there's no way that is a great example. That is
a great example. What a horrible gift. Horrible gift. Not
because it's it may be a great organization and they're
trying to help kids.
Speaker 2 (15:13):
God bless, but don't give me that.
Speaker 6 (15:16):
Yeah he did it two years in a row.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Oh yeah, I'd lose my mind.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
Yeah, that's a horrible one. Thank you. That makes sense
as an example of what not to do.
Speaker 4 (15:29):
I'm writing all these down for giving Tuesday.
Speaker 2 (15:31):
The gift perfect.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
You give to what you care about on Tuesday and
for the holidays, give me what I.
Speaker 4 (15:42):
Care about, what you want.
Speaker 1 (15:44):
Yeah, there's day set aside for you to give to
what you care about.
Speaker 4 (15:49):
Get stands for giving Elliott.
Speaker 7 (15:55):
Hi, Elliott the morning more than Elliott, Yes, sir, Yeah, Dan.
So years ago when my wife and I had kind
of been newlywed's her stepmother, who we hate, she bought
my wife and I a goat for a family in China.
(16:15):
It was a donation in our name.
Speaker 6 (16:16):
Isn't that sweet?
Speaker 1 (16:18):
That is a horrible gift. First of all, you don't
even get that goat number two.
Speaker 4 (16:23):
You got theona No, but.
Speaker 2 (16:25):
I got an ice cream bowl. You didn't get anything.
Speaker 1 (16:28):
That's and again, I'm glad that she cares about the orphanage. Right,
what's up, wasp man. I'm glad that she cares about
the orphanage. And I'm glad that they have a program
where you can adopt something to help that that's your cause,
it ain't mine.
Speaker 2 (16:42):
It's not mine. Also, that being said, please don't donate
to a cause.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
I care about. I will do that gift, give it,
thank you. It could be very thoughtful, It could be
very intimate, it could be very it could be very
socially forward.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
But make sure it's a gift they want.
Speaker 4 (17:00):
From Instagram, here we go. Never want to see the
rest of you guys wearing so kids can.
Speaker 3 (17:06):
Merch great example, great example. But I know that we're
straight now, but I.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Know that so kids can also means a lot to Diane.
So I am getting her something that is also of
importance to her.
Speaker 2 (17:31):
Hi Elliott in the morning.
Speaker 7 (17:33):
Hey, Yeah, this is Ryan so it'd be like if
Tyler weren't pay to have a tree planted an Elliot's
name in Israel, Like.
Speaker 5 (17:42):
Yeah, that's not a gift, and I care, but not
that much.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Exactly.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
Also, what if that was an olive oil tree?
Speaker 2 (17:54):
But I got olive oil and I like olive oil.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
But I paid for the maintenance of that.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
That's for you. I don't pay for it.
Speaker 4 (18:02):
No, it was not for me. You got the piece
of paper. It's right under the one about Fiona, right,
and it's us. I didn't frame it though, I didn't
frame it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
And also, can I just be real clear because I
feel like I got a big meeting coming at some
point today. I am not anti Saint Jude, but I
do feel like that that meeting's coming at some point today.
Speaker 3 (18:27):
Well, we'll just pull this spit of audio, since so
much audio has been pulled this week.
Speaker 4 (18:31):
Anyway, what's a few more minutes a tape
