Give It To Me Straight

82. Giving you elf on the shelf, gift giving, and thoughtfulness


Listen Later

It’s the season of giving! But Jon says stop. STOP BUYING GIFTS! People have to much stuff anyway and in this week’s episode, Alex and Jon discuss the culture around gift giving and how out of control it is. It’s time to start spending money on experiences and not on toasters! If it were up to Jon, everyone would get coal. Luckily, Jon is not Santa Claus and he has Alex to give the perfect gift on behalf of both of them.
