Show Notes

It’s Christmas week, and Twitty & Sean jump into Amazon Wish List chaos and holiday shopping stress: what’s the point of making a Christmas gift list if you’re just going to “quick-swoop” the item the second it goes on sale? From there, they break down couples gift-giving rules, how to avoid last-minute Christmas shopping fights, and why gift lists “die by Friday” when deals, scarcity, and impulse buys take over. If you’ve been googling “what to get my husband for Christmas,” “gift ideas for my wife,” “best gifts for son,”or “should I buy it if it goes on sale before Christmas,” this episode gives you a simple fix.

Episode Transcript

[00:00:00] Speaker A: You trying to tell me that damn trap. What's gonna stop you from going? [00:00:05] Speaker B: I ain't arguing with you one bit. Bougie as hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. And you know what? I felt even bougier when I was looking down, seeing how fast I was going. [00:00:18] Speaker A: Twinning in the city. [00:00:19] Speaker B: Aloha. [00:00:21] Speaker A: What's the point, thc? What's the point? [00:00:24] Speaker B: Point of what? [00:00:25] Speaker A: You do this. You just did this recently with your kids. What is the point? It makes no sense. You tease us, and then you just decide, oh, I'm grown. I'm gonna go get it myself. [00:00:35] Speaker B: Damn. I hate when you start like this. Well, I'm just racking my head right now. All the 95,000 conversations you and I have. [00:00:42] Speaker A: It's Christmas week, okay? Tis the season for getting gifts, okay? You and my wife love her, and there's probably a lot of people out here. What's the point in putting something on the list and telling somebody to get it, but then you get it faster than I can even think about getting it? Yeah, you laughing. All right, I'm gonna put this on. Preference for you. [00:01:04] Speaker B: I know exactly where you're going, thc. You right. [00:01:08] Speaker A: Didn't even wait a full day. No, you did. Go get your. Your garment. [00:01:13] Speaker B: Okay. [00:01:14] Speaker A: Okay. Did you wait? How long did you wait? [00:01:15] Speaker B: It was it. [00:01:17] Speaker A: First of all, did your kids didn't even know you wanted it? [00:01:20] Speaker B: Yes. [00:01:21] Speaker A: Okay. [00:01:22] Speaker B: Because my boys were working on it. [00:01:25] Speaker A: Okay. So he got a new boat, tuning it up, doing what he does. He wanted a. I almost call it a fishing tracker. It's a fish finder. Thank you. Fish finder was super pumped, found the one, told his kids, hey, you want to give me something for Christmas? Yep. I'm going to get it. [00:01:42] Speaker B: Yep. [00:01:43] Speaker A: Not two days later, it goes on sale. Decent price. [00:01:47] Speaker B: Like, dry. [00:01:49] Speaker A: Here's your first mistake, bruh. Here's the first mistake, bruh. As. As a person, that was. [00:01:54] Speaker B: You make it sound like it's like it was, like, $3 off. [00:01:56] Speaker A: No, no. It was a legit price. Yeah, but as somebody who is the person that wants to get you something, I know you're gonna fricking use. Instead of hitting up his kids and saying, hey, it's on sale. If you want to get it, you better get it now. He automatically said, I should just get it myself. But that's the one thing you told your kids. You get me? That we set. So you could have at least messaged them and said, hey, price drop. Within a couple of hours, it dropped again. It was a fat drop. It dropped, like, almost $100. I'm not. I'm not denying you that. [00:02:31] Speaker B: I swooped it. [00:02:32] Speaker A: I know you did. I swooped it. He swooped it. I swooped it. His kids had a gift. 100%. Could have locked in 100%, but they. [00:02:39] Speaker B: Weren'T gonna lock it for that price. They weren't gonna lock it for that price. [00:02:42] Speaker A: Thc. [00:02:43] Speaker B: Nah. Cause they weren't thinking about getting it then. [00:02:46] Speaker A: There's three of them, though. Wait. [00:02:49] Speaker B: Yeah, three, But. But. [00:02:51] Speaker A: Sorry. There's four, but. Three that currently live in this area. [00:02:56] Speaker B: Nah, done. I swooped it. Yep. I swooped it. [00:02:59] Speaker A: See, it's people like you that tee me off, man. My wife did decide why, why, why, why? At least give us a chance to consider or think about getting it. [00:03:07] Speaker B: It just depends, though. See, now, the reason why I did swoop it. [00:03:09] Speaker A: It depends. [00:03:10] Speaker B: It. The reason why I did swoop it. [00:03:11] Speaker A: Is because it's a quick swoop or always a quick swoop. [00:03:14] Speaker B: We get. You get. You get closer and closer to that. It's colder and colder and colder and colder. Pretty soon, I ain't gonna be able to put my boat on the water. And then what? I'm gonna get this thing right at Christmas time. Right at Christmas time, I'll be like, yeah, yeah. Try to go out there. Be like, nah, nah, I gotta wait. [00:03:28] Speaker A: How many times you go out? [00:03:30] Speaker B: Twice. Twice. [00:03:33] Speaker A: I think you could have waited. Nope. [00:03:36] Speaker B: Cause it's getting cold now. Right, but it's getting cold. Not cold where I can't hack it, but cold where, like, the water is turning icy. [00:03:42] Speaker A: But you only went out twice to use it. It ain't like you. [00:03:46] Speaker B: That. That's two times. I wouldn't have. I'd have still been waiting right now. Right? [00:03:51] Speaker A: But you. That wouldn't have stopped you from going to go fishing, though. Well, no, that would have just been two times. You just couldn't have got to use that, that's all. [00:04:00] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:04:01] Speaker A: You trying to tell me that damn trout was gonna stop you from going? [00:04:05] Speaker B: I'm not. I ain't arguing. Bougie as hell. Yeah. Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah. And you know what? I felt even bougier when I was looking down, seeing how fast I was going. I was like, what? I'm up to seven. [00:04:18] Speaker A: You are a stingy fool. [00:04:21] Speaker B: But, yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I'm old. I've been waiting for this my whole life. My whole life. I've been always wanting to. Where I could just have my boat in there. I'm old now. Man, I'm half a century. [00:04:30] Speaker A: I understand that, but what I'm getting at. [00:04:31] Speaker B: I don't know how much more time I got left. Be waiting for a fish finder to show up, not just kick the bucket bow. [00:04:37] Speaker A: Okay? Now, if your kids didn't get it for you for Christmas, then, yes, you go get it yourself. But you didn't. And this is where I'm getting at. Because my wife did this Amazon list. I always want to get her something that I know she wants. She sent me a list. Thc. I'm not kidding you. I'm making up the days, but just to reference the cycle, how fast it happened. Sent me a list on Monday, had 10 things on it. I said, hell, yeah. I got options. I don't even get, like, 10. [00:05:05] Speaker B: By Wednesday, you had two, bro. [00:05:06] Speaker A: Literally two days later, I went and looked, and it was down to two. And then I looked that weekend. Good. Nothing in the list. Good. What you mean, good? [00:05:16] Speaker B: I'm glad I'm not the only one on the naughty list. I'm glad I shared that with your wife. Nah. And there's nothing about that. It's about preference. Yeah, it's bougie as shit. I get you. I'm not even arguing that. I know, bro. You are the second Isaiah in my life to tell me this same shit. [00:05:31] Speaker A: I'm just like you. [00:05:32] Speaker B: The second Isaiah. My son Isaiah came to me, and he. He literally. I can pull his text message up right now. He's like, this is why we can't buy shit for you during Christmas time. And I'm like, you know what? That's my bad. But, yeah, you know what? [00:05:44] Speaker A: It's like fishing. You threw the bait. Yes. And I. I'm. I'm wanting to go get it. I want a bite. But then you yank it away. [00:05:53] Speaker B: What are we doing? They're fishing. No more bougie, right? [00:05:57] Speaker A: That's so messed up. [00:05:58] Speaker B: That's fine. But now I know I'm not in that boat by myself. I know when I'm rowing. Your wife in the front. Rowing with me. Talk about. I gave him a list of 10. By the time he got to Wednesday, there was only two things he could get. [00:06:09] Speaker A: And then, you know what? [00:06:09] Speaker B: I. [00:06:10] Speaker A: When I asked her, I said, what happened to the list? Oh, I got it myself. [00:06:13] Speaker B: That list is done by Friday. [00:06:14] Speaker A: Duh. [00:06:15] Speaker B: That list wasn't a list for what she wanted you to get her. That list was a list to let her. She was letting you know what she was finna get this week. [00:06:23] Speaker A: That's the thing, though. I don't care. [00:06:25] Speaker B: I want. [00:06:26] Speaker A: So next year, this is what I learned. We gotta make two lists. There needs to be a list that anything goes. It needs to be a I'm buying it list. [00:06:34] Speaker B: I tell you, I. I like gifts, and I. [00:06:37] Speaker A: And I'm still getting my wife a gift. I don't want nobody freaking out over here. [00:06:40] Speaker B: I like gifts that are given not because they were asked for. [00:06:44] Speaker A: See, and this is where I want to get to. I'm at. I'm not old. I ain't 60, 80. I'm in my mid-30s. My wife is 2. I can literally tell you what I want, and I will be super pumped if you get it for me. [00:06:59] Speaker B: Really? [00:07:00] Speaker A: Yeah. I'm at that age. It's like, I want you to buy me something I know I'm gonna use. I would rather you come to my face and literally say, twitty, tomorrow's your birthday. What do you want? And I could literally say, I want a rangefinder. And literally pick the one and the color and everything. And tomorrow I open it and I'll be like, hell, yeah. [00:07:22] Speaker B: What? [00:07:23] Speaker A: The red one with the black trim like the Falcons? Hell, yeah. [00:07:27] Speaker B: Maybe I'd rather that. [00:07:29] Speaker A: Man. [00:07:31] Speaker B: What if it is something that they just wanted to get you? It had nothing to be about being a guest. They just said, you know what? I thought you would like this. [00:07:37] Speaker A: I still appreciate it, but that's the only. That's a gift. [00:07:40] Speaker B: That's a real gift. [00:07:41] Speaker A: But I also know having a. [00:07:42] Speaker B: Having a preference. Come on. Having a. [00:07:45] Speaker A: Having a preference is when it's coming from a person that you know. I know. [00:07:49] Speaker B: If somebody gotta ask you. So you ain't gotta ask what she want. If you tell me, you know or you ain't gotta ask. I do gotta ask. So then why even ask her for a list? [00:07:56] Speaker A: Because I want to. See, here's the thing. My wife gets at least three to four gifts for me. We always do stock and stuffer. Little jokey little kitty, kitty thing. [00:08:04] Speaker B: How long y' all been together? [00:08:06] Speaker A: Eight. Hang on. [00:08:07] Speaker B: And this is. And this is. [00:08:09] Speaker A: And this is seven and a half. [00:08:11] Speaker B: And this is new to you? [00:08:14] Speaker A: The list part is new. We did it this year, and I actually don't want to do it again because at least the list part. [00:08:19] Speaker B: She's never done that to you before? [00:08:20] Speaker A: Nope. I've never. I've never gotten the list. [00:08:23] Speaker B: I was going to say it was like. I mean, eight years. Like this the first time. [00:08:26] Speaker A: No, the list. The list was the first time this year. And it made me more mad Than not knowing what she. What she wanted. [00:08:33] Speaker B: Because it took away your options. [00:08:35] Speaker A: She took away my options. [00:08:36] Speaker B: That's what I'm saying. That's why you were mad. Because the options weren't there. [00:08:39] Speaker A: If I at least had THC, I promise you, if that list had 10 things on it, if five would have been gone. The fact I only had two things left. And then two days after that, I was like, okay, two things. I'm gonna get them. I'm waiting. [00:08:54] Speaker B: You know why, though? Cause she's probably in the same type of mindset like me. Because I'm always in it. As if I'm like. If I'm working on a project, if I'm doing something like my boat and I'm at certain areas of my boat to where I'm like, no. Because I got certain things that have to tie in together for one. Like you. Hold on. You remember when I was doing my whole thing in the back with the, with the, the new fuel pump so that. Because I had to be able to pump the gas up because I didn't have the gravity anymore. [00:09:18] Speaker A: In the back of the boat, right? [00:09:22] Speaker B: So in the back of the boat, like I got all the electronics and everything back there, so everything has to hook up, including the gps. So I had. So what I was. What I'm saying is, I'm not making an excuse. I'm not making an excuse. I'm just telling you how it happened is because it was in the process of me thinking on how everything was going together. One had to come in for another like that. [00:09:44] Speaker A: Okay, well, for you, my wife, anybody else. By the way, get in the comments if you think I'm wrong. If I'm in the. [00:09:51] Speaker B: You're not wrong. You're not wrong. [00:09:53] Speaker A: I need to just know if there are people in my boat. If you are team thc, if you team freaking. Yeah, I put it on the list and I might buy it myself. [00:10:00] Speaker B: No, you don't want to be bougie like me. Don't be on my team. [00:10:03] Speaker A: There's some people that. [00:10:04] Speaker B: But I'm saying, like, that is annoying. That's hella annoying, bro. I 100% agree. That's. That's, that's hella annoying. [00:10:10] Speaker A: That's why me and your son Isaiah got the same name. Cuz it was. I don't want the list next year. [00:10:15] Speaker B: It was, it was. It was me him asking them, sitting there, talking. Them three got together and was talking about trying to get me and what they were going to get for the. Now this is now this Is that this is where it's not. It might not be a good thing that I went out and got my own thing because three of my boys was all going to pitch in. I could have got something. [00:10:33] Speaker A: That's what I'm saying, bro. [00:10:34] Speaker B: Could have got something. [00:10:35] Speaker A: One asking for something that all three. [00:10:38] Speaker B: Teams could have pitched in, but I don't need that. And, and what they can do now is they know what I like. They know the stuff that I do. And I like when they just come to me and they like, like, I got a Batman. Because I'm a huge Batman fan. [00:10:50] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:10:50] Speaker B: So I have, I have Adam west, the cowl, the one that he actually wore on his head. Like the one. Like I have one of those replicas in my house. But that was something my boys got together and was like, this is what dad. And they was right because it's on my wall. [00:11:02] Speaker A: Yeah. I think your kids. I know, I know, I know. Your kids, they think like me. Yep. That boat, that is your new fresh hobby. That's your new hot girl right now. Right? They wanted to add something to the new hot girl, bruh. [00:11:17] Speaker B: I, I, I even put, I built my own little. I was, I don't know if I was telling you about it, about the little stick that connects to the handle. Cause I don't have the steering wheel on it yet. [00:11:28] Speaker A: Wait, you're putting a steering wheel on the boat? [00:11:30] Speaker B: I am, yeah. [00:11:31] Speaker A: This. [00:11:31] Speaker B: I already got the steering wheel and the cable and everything. I just gotta, I gotta make the center console for it. [00:11:36] Speaker A: Yeah. I need to go Back to episode 30 something. This man is, he's not replacing the steering wheel. Let's just rephrase that. This man is putting in a steering wheel on a. What type of boat is it again? I forgot. [00:11:51] Speaker B: It's a 12 foot john boat. [00:11:52] Speaker A: A john boat? [00:11:53] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:11:53] Speaker A: It's not meant to have a steering wheel. [00:11:55] Speaker B: Yes, it is. Yes, it is. [00:11:57] Speaker A: Y' all can get in the comments and have a different conversation. Yes, it is. [00:12:00] Speaker B: Especially when I'm trolling so much easier. But now I got a stick that I made that it, it goes back and hooks to the, the handle of my outboard. So I'm not doing this the whole time I'm out there. I can put this stick in it, put the, set the throttle to where I'm supposed to have it, and I can stay forward and just hold it. It looks like a little. [00:12:19] Speaker A: You look like you strapped into a roller coaster kind of that little bar. It's a little bar. Yeah. [00:12:23] Speaker B: It's a little Bar, so. But the bar goes out like this. And the bar comes in like this. It's even got the question mark, little kind of hook. That way it shapes the body so that I can't come all the way in like that. Man. [00:12:33] Speaker A: I be thinking, you know, I'm. [00:12:36] Speaker B: I like it. [00:12:37] Speaker A: I ain't mad about that. Cause this position would be. That would be a lot. [00:12:41] Speaker B: I think that's why my shoulder is hurt. [00:12:42] Speaker A: But the fact you putting a steering wheel. [00:12:44] Speaker B: I'm putting the steering wheel in it. Oh, man, the steering wheel is dope too. I got the cable. I was one. I was like, man, how does this work? Watch when it's on there. Watch. The first time you take my boat out and you behind the steering wheel, you gonna be like, okay. [00:12:55] Speaker A: I'm not denying. [00:12:56] Speaker B: Okay, this is why you put the steering wheel in it. [00:12:59] Speaker A: I'm just. Yeah, it's gonna be nice. I just like how this is turned into a. You was thankful for a boat and now you just like Batman'd out. [00:13:08] Speaker B: Yep. Yeah. [00:13:08] Speaker A: Yep. Yeah. You went. You went from. You went from humble to. Nah, I'm flexible. [00:13:13] Speaker B: I'm old. I'm old, man. I get that. I gotta make things easier for me. [00:13:18] Speaker A: I understand that. Do me a favor. You and my wife, next Christmas, make us a list that's actual. Make a list of stuff that you might not touch. That's about that. [00:13:28] Speaker B: That's fair. [00:13:29] Speaker A: Because that's the thing. Y' all both put stuff on the list that both you are excited about. But also it's a time limit. Like, if I don't take it off of that list for you, you going to take it off. [00:13:38] Speaker B: No, that's fair. That's fair. [00:13:39] Speaker A: That's all I'm asking. [00:13:40] Speaker B: I got. [00:13:40] Speaker A: I like the list. [00:13:41] Speaker B: I got that. [00:13:41] Speaker A: Just give us, give us like tier two, tier three, plus. [00:13:45] Speaker B: Plus, like my kids know too. Like they. Anything outdoors. Anything outdoors for me because they can. Like my son Isaiah, who gives me most of my outdoor stuff. [00:13:53] Speaker A: He's smart, man. [00:13:54] Speaker B: Like most of it even like. Like what do they call them? The cameras that you put out? [00:13:58] Speaker A: The GoPros? [00:13:59] Speaker B: No, no, no. The ones that like do like when. [00:14:02] Speaker A: Somebody walks by it or like a motion. Yeah. [00:14:04] Speaker B: What do they call it? [00:14:05] Speaker A: They use it for Producer Shine. Do you. Can you think of the name right now? That's Producer Sean, by the way. [00:14:11] Speaker B: Like the motion sensor. The ones that they like, tie to the trees. [00:14:15] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:14:15] Speaker B: And it has a camera on it. And then when something comes in front, it goes in there. Like my daughter in law and my camera. [00:14:24] Speaker A: Yeah, I think it's just called a motion sensor camera. [00:14:26] Speaker B: Like a ring doorbell. It kind of looks like one, but it's like camouflage. It's like. It's like, made for hunting. [00:14:31] Speaker A: Okay, somebody in the comments gonna be sitting there in all caps. It's this. [00:14:34] Speaker B: Yeah. Oh, 100%. [00:14:36] Speaker A: I don't know. Everything. All right, My bad. But, yeah, I can look it up. Get in the comments, please. I just need to know. I know I ain't the only one. THC now knows. He ain't the only one that make lists. [00:14:47] Speaker B: Yep. [00:14:48] Speaker A: For us innocent people. [00:14:49] Speaker B: Because you know what, though? I feel like. I feel like when they ask me what I want, they ask. But what I'm saying, when they ask me what they want, it' I'm giving the answer in which I'm thinking of in that moment. [00:14:58] Speaker A: Trail cam. [00:14:59] Speaker B: Trail cam. That's it. I got a trail cam. [00:15:02] Speaker A: Thank you for whoever commented, by the way. They're like, I tried to tell you trail cam. But, yeah, I just. With it being the holidays, I knew people were getting people gifts. And like I said, I got my wife a gift already. I didn't. I'm not one of those guys where it's like, well, if it's off the list, I don't gotta buy anything. [00:15:16] Speaker B: Right. [00:15:17] Speaker A: I got her some. I was just really pumped to know I was gonna get her something that. [00:15:22] Speaker B: She was asking for. [00:15:23] Speaker A: She was a sure one. [00:15:23] Speaker B: I got you. [00:15:24] Speaker A: Cause the thing I also knew about my wife, which is what your kids probably know, is two things that went on that list you've been eyeballing for a minute. And so therefore, I know that you. [00:15:34] Speaker B: Can even go back in my Amazon thing and look just to see how. [00:15:38] Speaker A: Long it was in your cause. [00:15:40] Speaker B: Amazon, Amazon, Amazon snitch on you. They do. Like, if you look at. Have you ever just opened up somebody's Amazon and you just look at. Like, if somebody's got it open, you look down there, you could tell the last time they viewed something or the last time they seen something. [00:15:53] Speaker A: Oh, they got it. [00:15:54] Speaker B: Or the last time. [00:15:55] Speaker A: And then. And then it tells. [00:15:56] Speaker B: You know, there was six other people over here looking at it before, and you was looking at it, and it was like, when was you looking at it? [00:16:01] Speaker A: They got sec. They got a section of previously viewed. They got a section of previously viewed 6 months ago. Previously viewed in the same category from 6 months ago. It's stupid, but that's. That's why I was a little hurt. Cause I knew most of this stuff was probably in her inbox since summer. She was waiting for some Black Friday, some Cyber Monday, some Christmas deals. Yeah. And I was gonna swoop in. I didn't. I didn't even get a chance to. I wanted to swoop. I couldn't even. [00:16:28] Speaker B: She gave me the list too late, bro. [00:16:30] Speaker A: She gave me the list too late. [00:16:31] Speaker B: Yep. [00:16:33] Speaker A: She gave it to me. When did we do that list? It was that Thanksgiving. [00:16:38] Speaker B: How long did it take her to make the list? [00:16:40] Speaker A: How long did it take her to make the list? [00:16:41] Speaker B: When she said, I'm gonna get you a list, how long did it take. [00:16:44] Speaker A: Her to make the list? It was done, like, in less than an hour. [00:16:46] Speaker B: Then that means those have been on her mind lot longer than. So she had that the whole time. [00:16:54] Speaker A: That list was. [00:16:55] Speaker B: The whole time. All she had to do is write down what she'd been thinking about for the last couple months. [00:16:59] Speaker A: Cause we both had to make a list, and mine took, like, majority of the day. [00:17:03] Speaker B: Yeah. Cause you know why? Cause you a dude. You was walking around thinking about it the whole time. You was like, what do I really want? You was just walking in the yard, enjoying this stuff, looking at things. [00:17:13] Speaker A: I was. I went to the garage counting your batteries. [00:17:16] Speaker B: You probably seen. I was, bro, you probably just out there like, man, I don't know. What can I. [00:17:20] Speaker A: Low key was walking around, opening your tool drawers. [00:17:23] Speaker B: You were like, what else can I get up in here? Let me see. I got this screwdriver. That screwdriver. I wonder what else I need, bro. [00:17:29] Speaker A: You know, I was. I was looking. I was looking. Meanwhile, my phone just ding, ding. [00:17:34] Speaker B: Asking her, asking her. She's already been thinking about it. She's been on it for a minute. Been on it for a minute. All she was, oh, you want me to tell you? [00:17:42] Speaker A: That's the thing, though. She brought it up. She was like, I think we should do lists for each other. [00:17:46] Speaker B: I was, that's cool. That's because her storage in her. In the. In the memory of what she was full. So she came to you and said, look, I need to unload this data. Let me unload the data here so I can clear out this. The. I can have more storage here because I'm going out to make another list. So I guarantee you she got another list. I guarantee you she do. I guarantee if you asked her for a new list, she'd have that right now. All you phone, same thing. Ding, ding, ding, ding. And that's because she had to get rid of the last list was. The last list was stuck. So she was like, let's get rid of that one. [00:18:18] Speaker A: Oh, is that. I was the empty drain for just. Oh, here you go. Here's that list. Now I got. Now I got. Yeah, I got new one. [00:18:25] Speaker B: She was. She was trying to put the new list, but the old list was still there. So that's why she was like, okay, we got to do this now. [00:18:30] Speaker A: She was maxed out on her character count. [00:18:34] Speaker B: When you get back today, just be like, you got a new list? She'll be like, yep. [00:18:37] Speaker A: Oh, I don't know if I want to know the list, but anyway, I. [00:18:42] Speaker B: But no, it's. It's a good. It's a good thing. Yeah, but you. You. You right. You right. I'm. It's annoying. It's. It's extremely annoying. I know. And I did it. And like, I know my kids was mad, bro. Yours was because Isaiah sent me the text. He sent me the text, like, right after I sent him a picture. [00:18:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:18:58] Speaker B: Of it in the box. I sent him the picture. And he was like, see, that's why we don't get nothing. We don't get you nothing. We don't know. We said, you go, oh, this what I want. And then, boom, you turn around and it's gone. Now you're like, oh, don't worry about that. [00:19:09] Speaker A: Yeah, bro, it was. I can't explain to you how bad it was. [00:19:12] Speaker B: It was. [00:19:12] Speaker A: I tried vouching for your kids. I was like, 24 hours. [00:19:16] Speaker B: I would say it was more like 31. Wow. [00:19:20] Speaker A: Okay. [00:19:20] Speaker B: It was like. It was more like the middle of the next day. After the 24 hour. [00:19:25] Speaker A: No. Okay. It was middle of the day. Of the next day, early morning of the next day, early morning. You was ready to trigger. You was ready to trigger fire, dog. It was like 8 in the morning. You was ready to buy it. [00:19:37] Speaker B: Because I remember when we walked in, when we walked into the. To the meeting and we sat down and that price changed, and I looked over at you and I was like, twitty. Like, we had just sat down for the meeting and I was like, twitty. [00:19:48] Speaker A: I had just told you, but I did. For what? A couple of hours. [00:19:53] Speaker B: A couple hours? [00:19:53] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:19:54] Speaker B: Yep. [00:19:55] Speaker A: You terrible, bro. [00:19:56] Speaker B: I know. [00:19:57] Speaker A: So here's. Here's my advice to all y'. [00:19:59] Speaker B: All. [00:20:00] Speaker A: If you are like me, we gotta accept this list is a two way street. If the list is received to you, that means it can also be given away. So therefore, if you gonna buy something, buy right away. [00:20:11] Speaker B: Okay? But now let me ask you this. If I hand you a list of the things That I won't. Okay. And I'm just. I'm just playing devil's advocate here. If I hand you a list of things that I want. Right. Are you getting everything on that list? [00:20:25] Speaker A: No. [00:20:26] Speaker B: See? And I think that's where it comes down to where folks like me who are going, you know what? I'm just gonna go snag it. Because if I tell you this, this. And then y' all decided, well, we got him an eraser. He said he needed an eraser. No. [00:20:39] Speaker A: Okay. [00:20:40] Speaker B: And then I'm trying to go, okay. And then I. Because this has happened to me before where I was like, I was looking for this, looking for this, looking for this. And then that was. There was something on my list that I was like, you know, if somebody gets that, that's cool. Never got it. I got everything around it. And then when I try to go back to go get something like that, now, it was more expensive because we was already past all the deals. [00:20:58] Speaker A: Okay, let's backtrack that for a second. [00:21:01] Speaker B: So nowadays, when I say I want something and it pop up, I just. [00:21:04] Speaker A: Grab it for you and your kids. I already know. You gave them one fricking item. You gave them one. Yep. So there ain't. There ain't. There ain't no. What if you gave them one freaking thing on the list. [00:21:18] Speaker B: Yep. [00:21:18] Speaker A: And you still took it. [00:21:20] Speaker B: Yep. [00:21:20] Speaker A: So you got no excuse. You. You gave. You gave them. [00:21:25] Speaker B: I never said my actions was excusable. I never said that. I never came here and said, you know what? No, you, Honor, I'm innocent. I never said that. Nope. [00:21:33] Speaker A: Okay. [00:21:34] Speaker B: 100%. It's annoying. [00:21:35] Speaker A: Devil's Advocate is out of. Is out of the question. Yep. But for my wife, in the event, if you put multiple things on the list. No, it's not a. I'm getting everything. It could be. This depends. Like we've talked about. I had a Fortune 500, man. I can't just buy 40,000 gifts. Which I could, but the list is a. Here's what I'm thinking. [00:21:58] Speaker B: She got 40,000 gifts on that list. [00:21:59] Speaker A: No, I was just saying. [00:22:01] Speaker B: Okay, okay, okay. [00:22:02] Speaker A: No, it was just 10. And they were all like, it's Amazon. It's reasonable price. One was like. That's the thing that got me semi mad. It was like, I could have got all 10, probably. It was like, different sweatshirts, a book. A book read holder. It was like one of those wooden ones you could put in the middle. Some Epsom salt, some new holiday socks, a new holiday mug. Because we got this Little holiday cup or a coffee mug tree. And she wants to have six cups for every holiday. So for Christmas, she was too short, so she put two mugs on there. Those are gone. The sweater even had her size on it. It was gone. The little reading thing, gone. Like, it was things that. I could have got all of them, but she just got them already. [00:22:48] Speaker B: Like, they're already at the house, bro. [00:22:50] Speaker A: These were at the house before. Damn near December. [00:22:53] Speaker B: They gone. [00:22:54] Speaker A: We got this list of Thanksgiving. [00:22:56] Speaker B: I do the same thing. [00:22:57] Speaker A: By December 1st, there was nothing on that list. [00:22:58] Speaker B: I do the same thing. I had that garment installed two days after. I know you, right? [00:23:04] Speaker A: I didn't even. I didn't even have the rest of the things of November, bro, To get in there. [00:23:09] Speaker B: I had the bracket all thing, the whole little cover for it. Everything plugged in, turned it on, turned it off. I was like, what? [00:23:15] Speaker A: So here's my philosophy. If you're me and you get a list from somebody, except that list might be gone. This is just. It's like a quick in and out. Like, you better see it in the. [00:23:28] Speaker B: Best of who you get the list from. [00:23:31] Speaker A: If you get the list from. [00:23:32] Speaker B: Not everybody is as annoying as myself. [00:23:35] Speaker A: I think there's a lot of y' all out there, man. [00:23:37] Speaker B: I think there's a lot of people out there who appreciate. And when they ask, they go, okay, if you do. This is what I would like. [00:23:43] Speaker A: And if you are the person making the list. [00:23:45] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:23:46] Speaker A: I think you should have a list that's got layers, the stuff that you like. Yeah. There's probably five things on this list I'm getting. [00:23:52] Speaker B: Are you saying that if I'm putting this on the list, I should not put something on the list that I'm going to. I know. I'm definitely going to go get. [00:23:59] Speaker A: Yes. I think you shouldn't. You could still put it on there. But at least. If you do, there's at least other things where you're like, I bought that. That's the one thing, like, I wanted right now. And I was at work and I couldn't text my kids or my husband because they marked it down 40% off. It's a steal. Yeah, I'm a snag it. But there's still eight other things on the list that I can even wait on. I got you. I think you and my wife both made two A lists. And. And it was a competition of who's going to keep track of the pricing and who's going to snag it first. We need A, B, C list. Where it's like, you might not look at that for a while. No, the A list. I'm not trying to be in competition. I don't want it to be a race. [00:24:41] Speaker B: We need to get, like. For me, it had to be like an EF list. Yes. Like you got, because ABC indeed's already gone. [00:24:48] Speaker A: So. [00:24:48] Speaker B: Yeah, it'd be like an ef. [00:24:49] Speaker A: Yes. The list ain't meant to be the competition that you share. [00:24:53] Speaker B: I bet money. I bet money your wife is down to, like, the elementop. [00:24:57] Speaker A: Probably. Yeah, bro, she. She got so she was nice to. [00:25:02] Speaker B: You when she gave me that first list. She probably already knew everything on that list. [00:25:05] Speaker A: I think that first list was the test. I think that list was to see. Yep. [00:25:09] Speaker B: You was paying attention. [00:25:11] Speaker A: Because she did say. She said things that are on the list. She was like, if you or if I get it, I'll take it off so you don't accidentally buy. And I was like, I like that. I think that was a test of how fast does this man buy stuff? And she learned that I don't own buy stuff as fast as she does. [00:25:28] Speaker B: Hey, and she can't be mad. [00:25:30] Speaker A: No. [00:25:30] Speaker B: Just like. Just like, I can't be mad. [00:25:32] Speaker A: But I think she learned that the next time if I ask for a list, she gonna give me, like, elemental P list type stuff. [00:25:36] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Way down the. Way down the line. Way down the line. Way down. [00:25:41] Speaker A: I'm cool with it, dog. [00:25:42] Speaker B: I just. [00:25:43] Speaker A: I just. I want to be able to see a list at least, like, more than a week for your kids. At least make them a list that'll last more than 24 hours. [00:25:50] Speaker B: Okay, but if it was 32, it was like 32 hours, bro. That's longer than I give anybody. [00:26:00] Speaker A: All of us. Well, all of us work, dawg. Yeah, you acting like this was like 20, 36 hours on a weekend. This was like a fricking Tuesday. Yeah. Middle of the day. [00:26:11] Speaker B: By Thursday, I had it in hand. [00:26:13] Speaker A: Yeah. And I had to convince you to try to. You was like, my kids ain't gonna buy it. I ain't paying attention. Well, no shit, Sherlock is 12 o' clock in the middle of the damn day of a work week. [00:26:21] Speaker B: Hey, but that's not my fault. They dropping the price. They dropping the price at 9:00am, like, and then they go there at 10:30. It's another. That thing dropped down $100 cheaper. I was like, what? [00:26:31] Speaker A: I did say. I'm not. The price was very, very hard to pass up. It was. It wasn't like it went down $30? [00:26:38] Speaker B: Yeah, it dropped. [00:26:39] Speaker A: It dropped that. [00:26:40] Speaker B: I was like. Because then I know prices too. They're like, oh, they, they dropped down yesterday, but now there's only a Friday, there's only three left. Because they'll even tell you in the bottom. That's nothing I don't like about Amazon. Don't tell me how many I got left in stock. I don't need to see how quick. I need to be like, I'm. I'm. I get mad at that because I don't know if they just, if they got like a whole bunch of them. And then it's like, we only got three, bro. [00:27:00] Speaker A: They thirst trapped your ass. I know they be getting you. [00:27:03] Speaker B: I know they, they do a bunch of stuff. [00:27:08] Speaker A: That's why you mad. It ain't because you buy too much. It's because they know how to lure you. He wants a Garmin, he wants a fish finder. We gonna mark it down $80. [00:27:18] Speaker B: And I think my phone in on it too. Cause my phone be showing me all the time. [00:27:21] Speaker A: And we gonna tell him there's only three left. And we just heard him tell him, your kids can get it. Amazon and your phone. We put you through the test, dog. They heard you tell your kids and you told them the one thing you want today was like, how much does he really love his kids? Is he gonna let him buy them? Let's see, $50. Ah, he got that twitty guy in his ear. $90. 90 and three left. Oh, he bought it. Got his ass all right back to full price. That's probably how. That's how they be getting you, dog. Cause you was, you was drooling at the price drop. [00:27:54] Speaker B: Because I've seen them go up like quick just as much as I've seen them go down just as quick. [00:27:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:27:59] Speaker B: And then when they go, oh, there's this much left in stock. Then they, all of a sudden, now they got a reason to make their price go higher. And it's like, I can't even jump in. It's like, it's like, what do they call that? Double Dutch trying to jump in. You don't know which one. You just like, do I go now? Do I go now? Do I go now? [00:28:13] Speaker A: I come. [00:28:14] Speaker B: And then you get mad because you're like, okay, I'm a go. And then they just stop. You just, oh, I waited too long. Yeah, you waited too long. [00:28:21] Speaker A: Oh, man, get in the comments. I'm curious to know who is on who as far as I want to know what people are a thc. And what people are a Twitty. I think we're going to be shocked at how many THCs there are out. [00:28:33] Speaker B: Nah, I think we're going to be shocked at how many of you there are. [00:28:35] Speaker A: You think? [00:28:36] Speaker B: Yeah. Yeah. I don't think there's that many of me. What? Yeah. [00:28:40] Speaker A: I don't know, dawg. [00:28:41] Speaker B: I don't think so. I'm trying to get the benefit of the doubt. [00:28:43] Speaker A: I'm trying to get. [00:28:44] Speaker B: I am. I'm trying to get the people the benefit of the doubt. That is way more better than you don't want. [00:28:48] Speaker A: You don't want that many people in your corner. [00:28:50] Speaker B: Nah, not on this one. [00:28:52] Speaker A: All right.
