<v Speaker 1>Jerry Katy and Josh six one hundred day.

<v Speaker 2>So what's going on with your daughter and this birthday party?

<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, So Zoe was invited to a birthday party

<v Speaker 3>and she called me because she was like, Mom, I'm

<v Speaker 3>supposed to buy a ticket to go to my friend's

<v Speaker 3>birthday party, Like they are charging people admission to come

<v Speaker 3>hang out and party.

<v Speaker 4>And she was just like, is this what people are

<v Speaker 4>doing now?

<v Speaker 3>And we kind of beg the question because I got

<v Speaker 3>to put in the situation. Last year, I was going

<v Speaker 3>to a friend's birthday party and they went the extra

<v Speaker 3>mile and actually put it on event bright, So you

<v Speaker 3>had to buy a ticket for their birthday party through

<v Speaker 3>event bright and it was like.

<v Speaker 4>Twenty seven dollars or something like that.

<v Speaker 3>But at the time, I remember we even talked about

<v Speaker 3>it and I was just like, is this going to

<v Speaker 3>become a thing or are we going to be charged

<v Speaker 3>to go to people's birthday parties now? But my friend

<v Speaker 3>who I went to their birthday party last year, they

<v Speaker 3>used those funds and their birth birthday party was awesome,

<v Speaker 3>Like it was one of the most fun birthday parties

<v Speaker 3>I'd been to. With gluten free fried chicken, I mean

<v Speaker 3>you got me with the fried chicken right there. But

<v Speaker 3>they had a lot of fun games, Like the decorations

<v Speaker 3>were really neat. They rented out a place that was

<v Speaker 3>really like fancy and bougie, and so the whole experience

<v Speaker 3>I felt was completely worth that twenty seven dollars price tag. Now,

<v Speaker 3>the thing about Zoe's situation, however, is not only are

<v Speaker 3>they charging for admission to this party, but you have

<v Speaker 3>to buy a gift or they didn't say in lieu

<v Speaker 3>of a.

<v Speaker 2>Gift, so she expected.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, she's still expecting to have to pony up some cash.

<v Speaker 3>And again, these guys are in their early twenties, so

<v Speaker 3>I believe her friend is turning twenty four. And she

<v Speaker 3>saw it like her friends saw it on Pinterest that

<v Speaker 3>people are starting to do this, and it's so you

<v Speaker 3>can create a theme a party that people are willing

<v Speaker 3>to come to.

<v Speaker 5>And I did you get the funds beforehand? I guess

<v Speaker 5>I'm assuming like you get the venmo funds beforehand, so

<v Speaker 5>you know how much you can spend and really booze

<v Speaker 5>it up.

<v Speaker 3>Oh yeah, there's a cutoff for tickets and stuff like that,

<v Speaker 3>and so like there's a guest list, you're not on

<v Speaker 3>this guest list, you're not getting into this party. If

<v Speaker 3>you didn't pay for your ticket, then you are not

<v Speaker 3>getting in to this celebration.

<v Speaker 4>And again, I feel like this is a new aged

<v Speaker 4>way of doing things.

<v Speaker 3>One I really like it because we're in the age

<v Speaker 3>now of people not wanting to collect more things.

<v Speaker 4>I know, I'm there.

<v Speaker 3>I don't need any more things, really, I mean, unless

<v Speaker 3>you're getting me assigned Jamal Murray Jersey, I don't need anything.

<v Speaker 4>You know.

<v Speaker 3>So I think that this is kind of along those

<v Speaker 3>trends as well, is instead of getting a gift for somebody,

<v Speaker 3>contribute to the party, make it a fun thing, and

<v Speaker 3>you know people will be more than willing to attend.

<v Speaker 2>It didn't say no gifts, so maybe her.

<v Speaker 3>Party, yes, did not say no gifts. So that's where

<v Speaker 3>again like I think that you.

<v Speaker 5>Know how much of the ticket price she said it

<v Speaker 5>was twenty five bucks. Twenty five bucks a gift fifty.

<v Speaker 3>And they also made it known that at this specific

<v Speaker 3>party any kind of drinks, Like it's not an open bar,

<v Speaker 3>so you're going to be spending money on your own drinks.

<v Speaker 3>They have food and what not provided, but the drinks again,

<v Speaker 3>I love what not you.

<v Speaker 4>Have to pony. Yeah.

<v Speaker 3>Well you know the food and the snacks and stuff

<v Speaker 3>party favors. Well, filler sandwiches are included in the ticket

<v Speaker 3>bullet checks mix exactly. Yeah, the nice little snacky So God,

<v Speaker 3>I don't know where I land on this.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I mean I feel like last year and we

<v Speaker 5>talked about this with the adult party doing it, I

<v Speaker 5>was a little irritated.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I didn't like it last year, But then again,

<v Speaker 3>when we saw what the money went to, I was like, it.

<v Speaker 2>Was a banger of the party, like this do you

<v Speaker 2>ended up going?

<v Speaker 1>Right?

<v Speaker 2>It was a great party.

<v Speaker 4>It was awesome. It was so much fun.

<v Speaker 5>If anyone wants to sound off about this, phone lines

<v Speaker 5>are wide open. Three O three six nine one one

<v Speaker 5>Mix three O three six nine one sixteen forty nine.

<v Speaker 5>Would you go to a party where they are charging

<v Speaker 5>you admission to get in?

<v Speaker 2>Have you thrown a party where you charge people? Have

<v Speaker 2>you been to a party any of this?

<v Speaker 5>Any any comments about going to a birthday party where

<v Speaker 5>it's gonna cost you to get in. We'd love to

<v Speaker 5>talk to our listeners. I know we've got a lot

<v Speaker 5>of newbies listening right now too. Three oh three six

<v Speaker 5>nine one one mix three oh three six nine one

<v Speaker 5>sixteen forty nine. My quick observation before we hop into

<v Speaker 5>a little jay Z and Rihanna here, if it's costing

<v Speaker 5>you twenty five to fifty bucks and you're twenty four

<v Speaker 5>years old, you're gonna probably drop that out at the

<v Speaker 5>club on a Saturday night anyway, right.

<v Speaker 4>Well, again, you have to pay for your drinks on

<v Speaker 4>top of that.

<v Speaker 2>With this party, it's give let's say, one hundred dollars night.

<v Speaker 5>You're gonna drop that at the club on a Saturday night, Yeah,

<v Speaker 5>no problem, Yeah, w'd be So why not do it

<v Speaker 5>and support your friend and let your friend throw kind

<v Speaker 5>of a fun party, and then you can turn around

<v Speaker 5>when it's.

<v Speaker 2>Your birthday and do the same thing.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, I think it's kind of unique and kind of

<v Speaker 5>fun on the surface level.

<v Speaker 3>I do too, because, like I just think of my

<v Speaker 3>birthday parties that I had as a young adult and

<v Speaker 3>getting into my twenties and thirties and whatnot, and you're lame.

<v Speaker 2>No, Like, I don't think what not at your party.

<v Speaker 3>I did have what not at my parties and it

<v Speaker 3>was lame. And I don't blame people for not wanting

<v Speaker 3>to come. So if This makes it so people are

<v Speaker 3>more willing.

<v Speaker 4>To be a part of the festivities.

<v Speaker 2>I think that that it's also very gin like look

<v Speaker 2>at me, look at me.

<v Speaker 4>That's it.

<v Speaker 2>It's the gen. But again like a party for the Instagram.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, yeah, it's ye.

<v Speaker 2>Katie, give a quick recap of what's going on.

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, well, Zoe got invited to a birthday party one

<v Speaker 3>of her friends is turning twenty four, and they are

<v Speaker 3>charging admission to said party. It's twenty five dollars pay

<v Speaker 3>to play.

<v Speaker 4>Kind of thing.

<v Speaker 3>So we're just wondering, is that something that you'd be

<v Speaker 3>willing to do? Would you pay money to go to

<v Speaker 3>a birthday party? Like get your ticket off event bright

<v Speaker 3>and stuff?

<v Speaker 5>Can you imagine even if it's yeah, not a vent bright,

<v Speaker 5>you get like an actual invitation in the mail to

<v Speaker 5>a party. Hey, I'm having my party, and then you

<v Speaker 5>open it up and you read further down and it's

<v Speaker 5>like it'll cost you twenty five dollars to get it.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, Like, how would you react.

<v Speaker 4>To that so I can book the DJ?

<v Speaker 2>I know, I'm trying this side. How I would feel

<v Speaker 2>about that?

<v Speaker 5>I guess it really depends on how long you've known

<v Speaker 5>the person.

<v Speaker 2>Do like if you would pony up the cash.

<v Speaker 5>I don't know, what are your thoughts on this paying

<v Speaker 5>to get into a birthday party? Three h three six

<v Speaker 5>nine one sixteen forty nine.

<v Speaker 2>Here's Christine. Hi Christine.

<v Speaker 1>Oh well, good morning, well, good morning to you.

<v Speaker 2>So give us your thoughts. Chime in.

<v Speaker 1>So I'm twenty nine and I completely think this is BS.

<v Speaker 1>I think friends and relationships are just getting to the

<v Speaker 1>point where it's all transactional and instead of you wanting

<v Speaker 1>people to be there, you just want an event to

<v Speaker 1>show off to other people. So things are just becoming

<v Speaker 1>less intimate and it's all about the picture to post

<v Speaker 1>and who you're with and what are you doing. And

<v Speaker 1>I just think it's pretty it's just ridiculous. So like,

<v Speaker 1>next we're going to be asking people and charging people

<v Speaker 1>to come to our wedding.

<v Speaker 2>Yeah, well we've had those talks on the air too.

<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you make a good point.

<v Speaker 3>But you know, I'd like how you're thinking there too,

<v Speaker 3>because it's like, it's not just about you know, oh,

<v Speaker 3>I want my guests to have a good time. It's

<v Speaker 3>all about my guests enjoying their time at my party. No,

<v Speaker 3>you're right, it's a little selfish, isn't it Like look

<v Speaker 3>at me?

<v Speaker 5>What if you tag all your friends like in your

<v Speaker 5>picture and say thanks to everybody supporting me and list

<v Speaker 5>everybody out. What if you're like actually acknowledging your friends though, Christine.

<v Speaker 1>I just think it's all so silly. Yeah, has just

<v Speaker 1>taken over way too much, and we're just like it's

<v Speaker 1>your birthday, you know, like you're just celebrating a birthday.

<v Speaker 1>You're twenty four years old. You're not going to cancoon

<v Speaker 1>or whatever, and then twenty five dollars and you don't

<v Speaker 1>even get alcohol. If I'm twenty four years old, I

<v Speaker 1>wouldn't go. What does my twenty five dollars include?

<v Speaker 2>You gotta get your drink on?

<v Speaker 5>You gotta it includes Nibleys, make some finger foods.

<v Speaker 2>CHRISTI nimbleis.

<v Speaker 4>But you're right.

<v Speaker 3>The word you used was transactional. I think that kind

<v Speaker 3>of sums it up, like it's becoming more and more

<v Speaker 3>just tit for tat type of thing anymore instead of

<v Speaker 3>just enjoying each other's company.

<v Speaker 5>Okay, but I gotta ask you, Christine, like I brought

<v Speaker 5>up before the break, you're gonna go out to the

<v Speaker 5>club on a Saturday night and drop a hondo, So

<v Speaker 5>why wouldn't you just do it to support your friend

<v Speaker 5>and have a good time, you know, for their party.

<v Speaker 1>That's where you kind of got me, to be honest,

<v Speaker 1>because I think the club is like you're choosing to

<v Speaker 1>go there, and you're choosing all collectively to be there,

<v Speaker 1>and you're giving your money to a place instead of

<v Speaker 1>your friend. Like giving somebody twenty five dollars per person,

<v Speaker 1>that's just already so much money. Like are you getting

<v Speaker 1>a gourmet meal? I just I don't know for little

<v Speaker 1>finger foods and stuff that just seems excessive.

<v Speaker 5>Yeah, Ni Nibley, stupid Nibley's Christine, what are you doing

<v Speaker 5>for the old dirty thirty?

<v Speaker 1>Oh? I have more excited for thirty one because it's

<v Speaker 1>my golden year, so I'm more excited for that. So

<v Speaker 1>next year we'll be more exciting.

<v Speaker 2>Really, you've got nothing planning for the Big three zero huh?

<v Speaker 1>No. I got a wedding in October, so trying to

<v Speaker 1>keep it unless I have a birthday party and charge

<v Speaker 1>everybody one hundred dollars.

<v Speaker 2>Damn straight. That's how you do it.

<v Speaker 5>That's how you do A girlfriend really appreciate you calling

<v Speaker 5>in and sounding off and slam and social media.

<v Speaker 2>Before we hang up, make sure you follow us on Instagram.

<v Speaker 5>Okay Katie josh on Facebook, Jeremy Katie Josh on The

<v Speaker 5>IG would really love it if you did that. Appreciate

<v Speaker 5>you
