Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh so this past weekend was Sky's husband the Booze birthday. Yep,
did you remember this year? In years past?
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Misplaced?
Speaker 1 (00:12):
I misplaced?
Speaker 2 (00:14):
It gets confusing.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Do you forget or you don't?
Speaker 2 (00:17):
Birthday? And then there's Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
It should make it easier.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
Who's who?
Speaker 1 (00:21):
I just know it's the day before Saint Patrick's.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
To say where that I mean I remember it? Oh well,
that's that's super sweet. That's crazy. It was just that
one year I did.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
No, I feel like it's been a couple of times.
You may have misplaced it.
Speaker 2 (00:37):
It happens.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
So you did remember it this year?
Speaker 2 (00:40):
This year? Yes, very clear, very clear.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
It was it was marks off the calendar as soon
as the calendar was turned. Yes, I do keep a
paper calendar, and as soon as I turned it, put
it put a big heart around the sixteenth. Yeah, six
sixteenth That like, I like, literally my heart my second again.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
Uh so, yes, you ended up getting your husband a
very odd birthday present.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
So you know, of course, you do the thing before
the birthday where you ask, oh, you.
Speaker 2 (01:18):
Know, anything you'd really like for your birthday?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
And he said something that he's requested before, which is
like this Bluetooth speaker.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Okay, don't make gestures.
Speaker 3 (01:28):
Like that goes unspoken because we know, yeah, he would
love that any day of the week, especially on his birthday.
But no, that's not up for discussion. I'm talking about
something physical I can buy in a store. And so
you know, he brings up this speaker that pairs with
the speaker he already has. But I'm like, we already
have a speaker.
Speaker 1 (01:48):
If that's what he wants, why are you questioning why
are you questioning what he wants?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
What's one going in the house and went outside? Okay, okay, oh,
we're all geniuses. That's a great birthday gift and easy.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yes, but we only we have the one and we
use it outside. We inside, we play music through the TV.
Like I think we're good.
Speaker 2 (02:06):
But okay, okay, that's.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
What you want, that's what you want.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
That This is the internal discussion me saying we don't
really need this, blah blah blah. But then having the discussion, well,
is not really your birthday. So whatever, if it makes
them happy, great, great, great, But within so I asked
this question, probably like when I do the calendar flip, right,
because I'm like, oh, crap, birthday coming up. And then
I asked the question. So that's like a couple of
(02:31):
weeks out from his birthday. So I haven't bought it yet.
I know, oh, you can get that on Amazon. It
could come in a couple days, like no rush, right.
But then over the course of the next couple weeks,
I hear him complain over and over again about the
same thing. And he ain't complaining about the speaker. That's
not the problem we got. We got tunes all over
(02:52):
this place. But what he keeps bringing up is how
much he hates our vacuum because since we got our dog, Ellie,
we didn't our dog, Nugget doesn't shed. He's one of
those hyperallergenic dogs. We didn't realize how good we had
it in life having a dog that didn't shed versus
having a dog that does shed. And so now we
(03:13):
have to vacuum our house like once a week, whereas before,
no judgment, it was like once a month we would
vacuum our house.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Right discussed judging.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Okay, okay, we don't need we don't need to judge.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
It was we have to vacuum our she says, we
have to vacuum our house once a week. Isn't that
the what most people do, like saying you vacuum.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
Well, we have heard we have mainly c heart surface floors.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
We have hair dir like, yeah, you'll like kind of
sweep a corner or two. But as far as like
a deep vacuuming week.
Speaker 4 (03:46):
As if it's like eight times a day, he doesn't
have a job, that's another great, we have to vacuum.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Once a week. We yeah, what Yeah, if I don't
have a job, I'm gonna stay at home.
Speaker 4 (03:59):
Dad, Oh, that's my job. You can't can't he can't
find twice a week. He can't find time twice a
week to do it. I vacuum three times a week.
It's not that difficult.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
No, it's not about finding time. It's just something that
wasn't in our chore rotation, and so we got used
to not doing that.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
And now when you have to do.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Such a st staff too.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
I don't have a staff. I don't have.
Speaker 4 (04:28):
The chore rotation was so much going on that it
was tough to fit in once a week vacuum.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
Nobody is saying it's tough to fit in. Nobody has
said we can't find the times. You're the one making
that up.
Speaker 1 (04:39):
You said it. I'm just saying so dramatically.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
That it was something we didn't have to do, and
now we do have to do, and it's just another
thing on the list, and which brought to our attention.
Slash his attention because he's the one mainly vacuuming that
our vacuum sucks. And we've had our vacuum handle once
a week. Dude, it can't handle like once a year
at this point, Like this thing is old. It has
(05:02):
been through so many construction projects that when you take
the removable like bin thing out like construction, dust still
comes out, like five years later.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
It's gross, right, And so he kept bringing it up.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And then he would say things to me because like,
you know, we don't get out much, like did you
know they make cordless vacuums now, like where you don't
even have to plug it in because ours is plugging
in and you move the cord. And so he keeps
bringing this up about how our vacuum sucks, and I go,
you know, what would be an amazing birthday gift is
one of these amazing cordless vacuums for hard surfaces that
(05:40):
can also do carpet that he keeps talking about. So
he kept talking and kept talking, and I go, I
get it's not the coolest gift, but he keeps bringing
it up, how badly we need it, how it would
make his life easier. So for the man's forty eighth birthday,
I presented him with a brand new vacuum.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
A vacuum and I had brought that up.
Speaker 3 (06:05):
Eddie had overheard it and thought it was a wild
well give choice.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Here's the thing is that you have some very strong
feelings when it comes to gender and things like this.
If the roles were reversed and a guy bought his
stay at home wife or whatever a vacuum as a
birthday present, I feel like that you would scream, like
(06:31):
from the rooftops about how sexist that is and how
crazy that is and how dare he? And but you
did it and think it's fine.
Speaker 2 (06:41):
I feel like it's a different situation.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Well in what way? In what way?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
I don't really know in what?
Speaker 1 (06:47):
So then I can get you an ironing board.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Here's the thing.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
There is a man I know who once I made
a joke about buying me a dishwasher. I'll take that
joke to my grave. So you do have a point
there where I'm telling you. But here is what I
think the difference is. This man was talking about how
badly we need this, how it would make his life.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
You just buy it. You don't buy it at present.
You just buy it.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
To me, it's just a family gift.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
You just need it. It's not at all you just
buy a gift, a gift in I got to buy it.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
We have to buy a new vacuum because the one
that came with our house doesn't work great because we
vacuum more than once a week.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I don't know how we do it. Stuff. And well, yeah,
they left, they left the carpet.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
We have carpet. They left it there and it's not
working great. So my wife's like, we need a new vacuum.
I didn't go, you know what.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
In June?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
I would They was like two weeks away and you
start looking up vacuum see how much the good ones
cost you?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
No, it's we both vacuum score.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
Like I honestly thought when Eddie heard about this, because.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
I'm a well, I thought it's a crappy gift.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
I thought, you because Eddie's the king of Like when
people like mention things, they actually need in their life.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
He did. It's called a Bluetooth skeep speaker.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, that's what he wants, not what he needs.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Okay, listen.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
I can't always get what you want, but sometimes you
get what you need.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Listen, that's what happened. I don't buy things that you need.
I get things you'll mention that you want. That's a difference.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
But I also need them too.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Well, like that outdoor heater that was great, That that
outdoor rain catcher awesome, needed it.
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Wanted you didn't. You didn't say you needed an outdoor
water catcher. Yeah, but I just knew you'd like it.
Speaker 3 (08:41):
And but also it serves a purpose, it's it's needed,
it's great.
Speaker 1 (08:45):
You're you like practical gifts. I understand that, yes, but
a vacuum to a stay at home dad, to me,
is offensive.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
I don't think he was offended.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
Because I, pointing would have gift hyped like he was
gonna be like you nailed it, like you paid attention,
Like I didn't see this coming. You know, normally I
give gifts that people see coming, like you know, off
your Amazon wish list or whatever. So I really thought
that he was gonna like be shocked and oh my god,
you paid like you got it. Uh, that wasn't the
(09:19):
face he had then he opened it, because clearly it's
a big.
Speaker 1 (09:23):
Old If he was complaining the bathroom needs to be
cleaned a lot more often, and you bought him a
toilet brush, yeah, is that cool?
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Not for a gift, because that's not expensive enough.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
But if I got him like a self cleaning like
toilet or like a bedet thing, that's that's like a gift,
you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
No, you wouldn't think that was.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
No, that's literally a crappy gift.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Okay yo, I'm just saying, okay, Well.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
I just don't understand why gender, like the gender doesn't
matter to you right now, because if it was again,
if the roles were reversed, you would be angry for
whoever it was.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah, because it's like sirotypical for women, but why not
why not men?
Speaker 2 (10:03):
It's not it's not.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
A thing because there's not a lot of stay at
home task.
Speaker 3 (10:06):
Yeah, so it's not a stereotypical like like slam, like
when the guy makes an occupation.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
It was something he needed.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Boy, he just he said no, Well.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
I didn't say he wasn't happy. He was confused.
Speaker 3 (10:21):
There was a bit of confusion, maybe a touch of
disappointment that it wasn't some amazing of coursepointed how much.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
Was the speaker? Was that super pricey? It was like
a reasonable one. I think it was like a little
bit over a hundred bucks, or maybe maybe you should
have thrown that in on top too. I thought I
nailed this, I really thought I knaw.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
As a man as off.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
So no vacuums for you.
Speaker 1 (10:50):
Listen, I don't need you women's planning scenes, Thank you
very much,
