Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, it's Mojo in the morning. I actually have
a question and stay Crystal in the studio so you
can participate in this one. Here. I have a buddy
of mine that just started dating a girl within like
the last week, week and a half or so, and
we were all having a group conversation in our guys
group text about him now having a girlfriend and how
(00:21):
this is like the worst time to actually pick up
a new relationship because now you have to make a
decision do you buy that person a Christmas gift? So
here's the question to ask. We're within the month period
of Christmas, right, so we're within that or closing in
on that. If you start a relationship within a month
(00:43):
of Christmas, do you buy them a Christmas gift? And
if so, how big do you go in Christmas gifts?
Speaker 2 (00:51):
Gift?
Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yes? Yeah, so you buy it but them, But it
cannot it's such a fine line.
Speaker 3 (00:57):
It cannot be over the top. It has to just
be like a good little something thoughtful.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah, it's got to be intentional.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Yeah, you got it.
Speaker 1 (01:05):
What what is what is an intentional and thoughtful gift?
That's not the top.
Speaker 4 (01:09):
It depends on I mean, you got to know your
person is going to be different for everybody.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
What would you get me, keV I don't like you
like that, but I mean I probably.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
I mean, she's giving the only the only reason, the
only reason I said I wasn't trying to holler you,
And the only reason I say that is because I
would have to see you in that light to be
able to pick up on certain things about you that
would speak to who you are. If I was just
a little bit about it, I mean, yeah, but I'm
saying not in that way though, Like I would just
be thinking about something the social media related.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
Take it off.
Speaker 4 (01:37):
Well, I'm just saying I would be thinking about some
social media related but that probably wouldn't like speak to you, like.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Would you buy for him? You know he he does
good or he does well whatever the word is good
or well, uh he does that? And would you buy her?
Would you buy her clothing? Would you buy her a
piece of jewelry but a small piece of jewelry, don't
go would you buy her Apple air pods?
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Like?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Would you always even do anything like that? What would
you get her?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Like?
Speaker 1 (02:01):
What would you what would you guys want like a
massage or something? I feel really yeah, it's a massage
sending a message. I wouldn't.
Speaker 4 (02:10):
Yeah, I'm gonna say, like honestly, So when I first
started dating a girl, she it was Sharill.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
So I'm first started dating Sharil.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
We started dating, and like I think we officially got
together in like November and Christmas was right there, and
now I do think I may have done. But I
bought her like some ug boots because it was winter outside,
so I bought her some boots. And then she really
enjoyed whiteboarding, like that was something that she really enjoyed
to do, not only for work but for her personal
goals and stuff. So I bought her a bunch of
whiteboard stuff white whiteboard, like extra markers and stuff like that.
(02:42):
But I'm saying this is for her, that's like the
least romantic.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
But I'm saying for you is what would you like
some gluten pretzels.
Speaker 4 (02:51):
Like like I went to Staples and I got you
off just to her though, she lit up for And
that's what you gotta do.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
You gotta find your person what they like. Uh, when
did you guys start to you and your husband start dating?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
So Wes and I started dating, I mean going out,
you know in September.
Speaker 1 (03:10):
Okay, what was the first Christmas gift? You remember?
Speaker 3 (03:13):
He gave me a really really super nice bracelet for Christmas?
Oh yeah, Pandora, No it was I know it was
really nice. I guess I know what he wanted. I
mean I wasn't. I wasn't giving it back or saying no,
(03:36):
what did you get him?
Speaker 1 (03:36):
You remember?
Speaker 3 (03:38):
I don't remember. I hope he remembered. I don't remember.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
Yeah, Natasha, I want some advice for this. What do
you think?
Speaker 5 (03:46):
I think that you.
Speaker 6 (03:47):
Could get her tickets for like something you guys could
do together, like maybe like the Holiday Lights, or like
maybe if she's in the like you know, concerts, maybe
you could like go see Detroit Symphony Orchestra or something
like a fun date that's not.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Like Actually that's a really good idea, like an experienced
gift of something that you guys could do together. I
love that idea.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
If you give that gift, hold on to the tickets
because if you're not together and when the event happened, like,
don't let her have the actual tickets, because I've seen
guys get screwed that way. Juliana, what's up.
Speaker 5 (04:21):
Hey guys, Good morning, Good morning. So my birthday's right
before Christmas, and my boyfriend and I when we first
started dating. For my birthday he got me a shower
brush and for Christmas. For Christmas he got me one
(04:41):
single bottle of Dial body Walk.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Now he was just as.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Check out. Okay, Juliana, tell me that you're not with
this guy still, are you?
Speaker 5 (05:06):
Oh we're going on seven years?
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Wow? What did he get you last year?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
So now he lets me pick my gifts. So he
gets me a massage every year, and then he gets
me like clothes or concert tickets or whatever I ask
for this year. It's an iPad.
Speaker 1 (05:25):
Okay, that is Yeah, that's nice. He's elevated, he's moved
up in this world. I love though this. He didn't
even get you in the same year. Brush and the soap,
like you had to actually wash yourself with that brush
for one year with no soap with it.
Speaker 5 (05:42):
No, it was only a week. My birthday is a
week before Christmas.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Oh, okay, all right. He bought him at the same time.
It just gave him. Alison, what's going on?
Speaker 2 (05:52):
I just feel like that's how people end up in
situationships because after a month of knowing somebody, I don't
think you should be getting them anything for Christmas.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
I agree on that, and I said this, I said,
you got to be careful. And here's the reason why
you got to be careful, that you give something you
I think you should do something for her. But I
think you got to be careful because I think it's
going to set a precedent that she's only dating you
for gifts, and also you're putting pressure on her on
what she's going to do. I don't like holding back
(06:23):
my love though. Yeah, and that's what is your love
monetarily done?
Speaker 4 (06:28):
No, But I mean, like, I think one of my
love language is gift given. I appreciate giving.
Speaker 3 (06:34):
If you see something that really speaks to you.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Do you have a scrub brush? All right, Alison, you
take care of yourself. Okay, my favorite I should let
you guys read this grip text these guys, because these
guys are vicious to the single guy in the group text.
Like the single guys in the group text, we all
(07:02):
kind of live vicariously through them. And half these guys
pick up these girls at what's that place in Birmingham Market? No,
it's usually market Friday Friday at market. If you're a
girl that wants to meet some of these goofy friends
of mine go to go Friday to market and just
hang out.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
To have any single friends that are like.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think they're good guys.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
I have my single friend that I got it. Uh, well,
I guess they're friends with him. I would say this,
you know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Yeah, you know they're good guys. They probably all live
by each other. That's the only problems.
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Let me see pictures.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Here's the problem with the guys that I know that
are single. They so they're single, they do well. They
live in Birmingham and they've already dated every single girl
that probably is in that town too. It sounds like
you know what I mean, But no, seriously, and that's
the problem. You guys have a bubble. There's like a
bubble over there, so everybody's in that same bubble.
All right, it's Mojo in the morning. I actually have
a question and stay Crystal in the studio so you
