You're listening to the A-Z English podcast.

00:00:14

Jack

Welcome to the A-Z English podcast. 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.
