| 0:00.0 | Do you remember when back in the day on Instagram, we would be really nosy about things and we started this series because we just really want to know? Do you remember this? What the fuck you're talking about? We started an Instagram series called We Just Really Want to Know where we'd poll people on things that we were just nosy about because we were having a debate about... Wedding Wishing Wells. Wedding Wishing Wells and how much you should actually spend. So we just got the data |
| 0:21.1 | and then used it in our own lives. And we found out the average person thinks you should put in, |
| 0:26.5 | I think the result was, $125 per head on average. This was five years ago though. So you got to |
| 0:32.4 | account for inflation. 150. Yeah. I have one of my own. Okay. If we want to do this again. |
| 0:38.2 | Yeah. |
| 0:38.9 | So I was talking to Ollie, my partner the other day, and he was buying a gift for someone. |
| 0:45.7 | I obviously have to keep this in code because he hasn't given this gift yet. |
| 0:49.0 | But this person is really important to him and he needed to buy a really, really good gift. Let's pretend it is a handbag. Okay. No, no, I can say what the gift is. I don't think this person listens as well. It's a man. I'm giving it. No, no, no. We can't follow that anymore because I met a listener in a very unusual place this way. It's really rattled me. |
| 1:10.9 | Well, if this comes back to bite me, then like that was meant to happen. So this man, it's for a, it's for a male and he said, I really need to spend a lot of money on this gift because this person's done a lot for me. And he goes, I've been thinking of buying him on umbrella. Yeah. This umbrella has been in our office of quite some time now. I'm like, when is that fucking thing off? |
| 1:28.1 | You can't buy this person out umbrella. |
| 1:30.0 | I would say a designer umbrella. |
| 1:31.4 | It is. This umbrella has been in our office of quite some time now. I'm like, when is I taking that fucking thing off? |
| 1:28.2 | You can't buy this person an umbrella. I would say a designer umbrella. It is a designer umbrella. He's like, no, you don't understand. Like, my umbrella's amazing. I'll get it engraved. It's really expensive, this umbrella. Feels incredibly lux to have an engraved umbrella. So I said, but even if you spend this amount of money, he's not going to know that you spent this much money because he'll get it and people will say, what did he only get you? And he'll say an umbrella and people will think he spent $30. And so he said, it's not a problem. Everyone Googles the price of gifts. And obviously, on a designer umbrella, you'll see the designer umbrella brand name. |
| 2:01.6 | Do you think that's true? Do you think that everyone Googles the price of gifts? |
| 2:06.9 | So you receive a gift and you never Google? No, I sometimes do. But do you Google every gift. |
| 2:14.9 | I think we all have to be honest with ourselves. That's why I want to anonymously poll. |
| 2:17.9 | Not every gift, because when I get a candle, I go, I know how much that candle costs. |
| 2:35.7 | I would say, uh... If you're not sure, like, let's say I gave you something. Like, it's a really big milestone. Hang on, well, let's apply this to your Christmas present last year. I got you a couple of things from a brand that you like. Did you Google? No, but I already knew. Yeah. |
| 2:37.0 | So I already knew what you spent. |
| 2:42.1 | When Ollie got you a piece of jewelry for Christmas, that necklace, he got you. |
| 2:45.8 | I googled. I googled. Do you Google everything? I think everyone does. |
| 2:47.7 | I would like the stat. Can we pull? |
