Transcript

What do you give a billionaire on their wedding day? The usual. You want to splurge in the face of our $400? I'm pretty sure she farts for $400. What's ruder, giving her a card or giving her a $400? I don't know if we should go. We probably can't even pay the plate. $300? No. Probably $1000 a dinner. It's just super cool. She's just super forgiving. Like, I know she's giving me nice about it. It's just like we're really lucky to even be there. We're just like you're a tour bus and we're going to this thing. I feel like we're getting a gift. What can we possibly offer her? What do you give a billionaire? Maybe we shouldn't go. That's rude too though. We can offer our unborn child. Would it be weird to write an IOU on a posted note and just hope she never follows up on it? I've written the nicest card ever. I'm an angel. I'm not worthy to be here. Maybe she'll understand the vibes. Do they give each other money or do they all just go? Hey, we all got the same amount here. Slide under the radar. She's probably being an angel and donating it all to charity anyway. Mustard. It's the principle of the thing. You know any celebrities you could call and ask? And we leave it blank and then we're there and we're like, Hey, John, legend. What would you give her for money? We run. We swap cards. We just write an apology on the check. Love you down boots. I'm so sorry. Or if she writes her song called Cheapskates. Cheapskates at the wedding. Seriously, what do you give them? Cheapskates. Donate in their name. Cheapskates at the wedding. I know she's an angel and probably doesn't care. Cheapskates. I care to not disappoint her. I regret inviting you.
