My name is Jack and today I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are going to do a would you rather question for the holidays and social today's would you rather is, would you rather get one big gift? 00:00:32 Jack Or several small gifts. 00:00:40 Xochitl Dang, this is hard. It's kind of vague, right? Like is 1 big gift I think like would rather get one big gift at this point because. 00:00:51 Xochitl I think when you're a kid, it's like quantity over quality and you're just impressed with your gifts and how many you're getting. And like, oh, I got 20 gifts. Oh, well, I got 25. And then as you get older, like, the quality of the gifts are so much more important. So I think getting a high quality gift that was thoughtful or expensive. 00:01:13 Xochitl Would mean a lot more to me than several smaller gifts that I would just take up space in my house. Probably. 00:01:22 Jack Yeah, like when when they're in this question, we say big gift. Are we talking about just like size or like big meaning like expensive? And I take it to mean like an expensive gift, you know, versus several small cheaper gifts, but maybe. 00:01:40 Jack If you add up all the small gifts, it equals the same money as the as the big. 00:01:48 Jack But for me, like I'm I totally agree with you. When I was a kid, I would want more. 00:01:55 Jack You know, opportunities to open presents. 00:01:58 Jack You know. 00:01:58 Xochitl Right. The surprise of it is like the suspense is a big part of it. When they're a kid. 00:01:59 Jack It's like. 00:02:03 Jack Exactly. It's just how many how many presents. 00:02:06 Jack Did you get? I got I. 00:02:07 Jack Got 7 presents. I got 9 presents or whatever. It doesn't matter if they're, you know, terrible. 00:02:13 Jack It's just like. 00:02:14 Xochitl It doesn't matter. 00:02:15 Xochitl Well, and kids are just impressed. 00:02:17 Xochitl I wish that I. 00:02:18 Xochitl Could go back to being a kid and and impressed by like a stuffed animal. A slinky. 00:02:22 Xochitl Like a? Yeah, a thing. 00:02:24 Xochitl Of slime and a cheap art supplies kit. 00:02:28 Xochitl I wish like that was like. 00:02:29 Xochitl Wow, I love this stuff, you know now. 00:02:31 Xochitl I'm like, OK, that's pretty much just junk. It's just. 00:02:35 Jack And where and where am I going to put this? 00:02:36 Jack Stuff you know. 00:02:37 Xochitl Yeah, exactly. 00:02:37 Jack Now now I'm getting. Thanks for the clutter. 00:02:43 Jack But like you know, getting like a nice diamond ring or something like that, you know, would be that's something that you can, you know, it's it's something you'd want. 00:02:52 Jack And and it's. 00:02:53 Jack Table. Yeah, I you know, I I I agree. 00:02:57 Jack I think just like one really thoughtful gift, one really one big gift is is far superior to a bunch of small gifts. That is just gonna that are just going to end up in a closet somewhere or getting recycled, you know, six months later. 00:03:16 발표자 Right. 00:03:18 Jack Yeah, I think we, yeah, I agree. 00:03:19 발표자 OK. 00:03:23 Xochitl Well, what do you prefer?
