have them?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
So I went to a Christmas party and it was
a Christmas party that Lucy was invited to. Lucy and
like ten or eleven other girls from her class, and
the mom who threw this party, which was, honest to god,
the most insanely beautiful, detailed Christmas party I have ever
(00:28):
been to in my whole entire life. Props to her.
But the mom also invited the moms of the girls
to come to this party. So there were I think
twelve girls, twelve moms, I think is how you know?
It all shook out and the girls did a white
elephant gift exchange. So there were some you know, little
rules for the white elephant gift exchange, as there usually are,
and then the mom who through the party decided that, oh,
(00:49):
the mom should do a gift exchange as well, and
so the invitation said there were three gifts that each
mom had to bring. Okay, you had to bring an
artisan chocolate. Oh, you had to bring a your favor
it was favorite thing, so your favorite artist in chocolate,
your favorite beauty product trial size, and then you had
(01:12):
to bring your favorite kitchen gadget, and then everybody was
going to get to pick. Like you know, you're gonna
go home with three new things. Okay, love it. Well,
here's what I brought. I don't cook. Y'all know this,
so I'm thinking kitchen gadget.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
I don't. I don't really know kitchen gadget.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
So I went to my favorite kitchen store and bought
a big thing of olive oil and like some Santa
Claus pasta. I thought, okay, that's cute, wrapped it in cellophane.
That was one gift for my beauty product. Trial size
I bought is an aloe or a low the yoga brand. Oh,
I say as the store downtown Alo. I go to
Alo and I bought the Alo like chapstick lip gloss thing.
(01:49):
I was like, okay, it's good, not drowsize, but like
it's teeny perfect for my artisan in chocolate. Anna, Actually
you helped me. I got Bonbon Bonds Detroit chocolate brand
wanted to represent.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Those were my three things that I brought.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
I get to this beautiful party. I have my gifts.
I'm so proud of how I wrapped them because I
love wrapping things. I take them out of the bag
and the mom's like, okay, we're there's three separate tables.
So you put your chocolate on this one, you put
your beauty gift on this one, you put your kitchen
gadget on this one. I stop in my tracks. I
go to the kitchen gadget table. These women brought full
(02:27):
on appliances.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
What appliances for the table that was of kitchen things
for kitchen gadget. Kitchen gadget. An appliance is not a gadget.
Speaker 2 (02:38):

Makers, like a rice a Japanese rice cooker. I love
sound in the shopping bag that I have At my
olive oil Kevin.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
My armpit starts sweating.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
I'm like, oh my god, I feel like the biggest
idiot in the whole world.
Speaker 2 (03:03):
I had no idea that this is where it was
going to go. Pasta is not a gadget, it's not,
but I it was a kitchen thing. Okay, the olive
oil pot, I'm thinking the only one that I'm in
my head. I'm thinking people are going to bring gadget.
People are going to bring like a garlic peeler, or
like a kitchen milk.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Shears, or somebody actually did bring a milk frother so
I wasn't the only one that didn't bring like an over.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
The top gift. What are you thinking? Do you think
the beauty products were trial size? No, everybody bought my
full size? You go over so embarrassing? Is that it
was good for you? You made out like a bandit
probably sure did, but I felt stupid. I thought she
was cheap. I felt so stupid.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
What are you thinking? The look on your face? Partying
with the elite? Can If I'm invited to a party
and the words artists and chocolate are in there, I'm
thinking this might be a little booje?
Speaker 2 (03:58):
What what? Literally?
Speaker 1 (04:00):
What does artists in chocolate? What does artists and chocolate mean?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
I think it just means not Hershey's not her like
a specialty so bon bon bon?
Speaker 2 (04:08):
I thought? Perfect? What kind of chocolates did they bring?
I don't know how to pronounce them?
Speaker 1 (04:13):
An what are bond bon bonds? I've never tried that before.
Speaker 2 (04:17):
Seriously, a great Detroit brand. There are a few stores
like baby size Chocolate.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
I want six If you were to buy, if you
were to buy artists in chocolates.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
They all are wrapped up in little like gold. It
looks like chocolate.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
It could be good divas it shows on here, although
good dive would probably be cheap for the sounds like
these guys.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Fine the beauty thing, okay, fine?
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Mine really was full size, it was small whatever it
was the kitchen.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Gadget, the kitchen gadget. So what did you get? I
want to know what you want? What did you go
home with?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
I got a whole like knife in kitchen shears.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Oh that's amazing, this is amazing.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Wow, yeah, it is you person that got my olive oil.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
Do you eagerly invited back next year?
Speaker 3 (05:03):
It's one of those parties where I was like, this
is the most this is the best party you've ever I've.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
Been to white Elephant parties before. In the white Elephant
parties I come home with like, you know, a female
love device or something like that, Like, what's going on, Jennifer,
what's happening?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Hi?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Hey?
Speaker 1 (05:19):
Hi, what's what's happening in your phone? Kind of cut again?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
What did you say? Oh?
Speaker 3 (05:24):
I said good morning, good morning morning.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So Shannon, before you got to the appliance part I
was thinking, how could Shannon not think of a wine opener.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Because honestly, I thought everybody would do that to me
that I was that was like the easy, like go
to and of course I would have done something like that.
But I was like, oh, I'm going to be creative
and thinking, I was like, how did you not think
about wine open I went favorite. I literally went to
my favorite kitchen store came out called the Good Day.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
It's like a home store, like nice st.
Speaker 4 (05:58):
World, crowd Amazon, it's a whole new world. I wouldn't
know what they ought to do, somebody inviting artisans. Although
I will tell you what's the store that's in the
mall is at Williams and Oma. I walked by that store,
you know, the one the fans. I walked by that
store all the time, thinking they're gonna have free samples
and they never do.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
But I get mesmerized by specialists. I failed this gift
exchange so bad?
Speaker 1 (06:23):
Do you think, Jennifer, they're judging Shannon today?
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Absolutely see in the group check, Oh for sure for sure,
But like there was no there's no context to it.
Did you see her?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
I would have done the same thing?
Speaker 2 (06:36):
Was do they know?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Do you so because I hate when you go to
a party and everybody knows who it was that that
gave the stock.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yes, you have to go up and explain why you.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
Because because it was a favorite thing's gift exchange say
about I said, as my pits were sweating through the
pass that I wore, I got up and I was like,
I do this for a living, but I get very
nervous speaking in these situations. I also do not cook,
so I did not know what to bring for a
(07:09):
kitchen gadget. So I said, I went to my favorite
store I and you know, this is what we use
at home. It is one of my favorite things. Yes,
keV is basically what I said. Lucy was with the
girls in another room.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
What was the look on the mom's faces?
Speaker 3 (07:25):
They were all so honestly so gracious, like okay about stupid.
Speaker 2 (07:32):
It actually wasn't good, really actually wasn't. I think my.
Speaker 3 (07:38):
Beauty product was the last gift picked.
Speaker 2 (07:40):
But that's not your fault.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
So my wonder is what was the what was literally
the best thing that was there?
Speaker 2 (07:47):
Like what was the one thing that you.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
Were like, oh my god, of which category of any
of the categories, like which one was what was the
one thing where you're like, oh my god, that's the
one thing I'm going to get and I'm gonna gifted
or what I'm.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
At actually going to shout out my kid's stepmom because
she was at the party as well, and her beauty
gift was a package of all of these amazing products
from like a local medspa, like stuff that I love
and use. So I had no shame marching right up
there and grabbing her gifts.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
I'm taking it. Did.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
I think this is so funny because we've all been
to like parties, like white elephant parties and things like that.
This is obviously not a white elephant party, but we've
all been there and we don't want our gift judged,
you know what I mean, Like and we've had them
on our show and stuff, but I was judged. Nothing
to me would be more like I at that point
right there, I'd be like fake sick, Like I would go,
(08:43):
I'm sorry, I gotta go, and I would take my
name off the olive oil.
Speaker 2 (08:46):
You know what I did? Yeah, chuk chuk Chuck, Chuck, Chuck,
chuck chuck. To start drinking, Yeah, just start drinking.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
An elephants where I picked my own gift because I
didn't like anyone else's.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
I was like, you did the best.
Speaker 1 (08:57):

Speaker 1 (09:15):
By the way, are these are these all people that
Lucy goes to school with?
Speaker 4 (09:18):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:19):
And I don't like this was an opportunity for me
to make friends, right, to make mom friends?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
And I just think I made zero mom friends. I
don't know. No, it was really fun, but I was.
I was really embarrassed they're.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Talking about her in the pickup line today meeting I actually,
can I tell you the funniest was I remember when
we when Luke went to we went to a white
Elephant party and it was the first year that Luke
had been in school, and it was I will never
forget that.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
Uh uh. It was at the Barness's house.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It was the thing that propelled the friendships of so
many of us the very first time that we went
to it. And I will never forget like going to
that party, and I don't even remember some of the items,
but some of the items were just funny as hell.
And your kids in a Catholic school with all these
parents thinking dirty things with whatever the white elephant party
thing is. So hopefully this makes a friendship for everybody.
(10:12):
I'm no, Now you actually can supply your entire kitchen.
Guess what you could becoming now a cook because you
will now have the items to do it.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
I mean, that's never going to happen.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
Was there a kitchen aid mixer in there? Because that's
like the thing everybody wants? Okay, because you imagine.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
That I would have taken that on one of those
kitchen Have you ever.

Mix it does a lot of things. Pretty sitting on
my exactly this.
