00:00All right, let's get down to it.
00:02Brass tacks.
00:03Summer Squad, we need your help here on the Andy Summer Show.
00:05It's three calls, nine to all.
00:06Mike wrote us and said, my brother and I have season tickets,
00:10and we were just offered two all-star game tickets as a part of our package.
00:14Wow.
00:15So cool.
00:17I really want to bring my nine-year-old son.
00:18He's obsessed with baseball.
00:20But clearly, they have two tickets.
00:23Mike and his brother have the season tickets,
00:25so my assumption is Mike and his brother are going to go.
00:27Yep.
00:28The people with the seats next to us offered to sell one of their four.
00:33But I think since we already split the season ticket package,
00:37we should split the price of the extra ticket.
00:40My wife thinks that's fair.
00:42I agree.
00:44But I could also see him saying, you're bringing your son, you pay.
00:47Hmm.
00:48Hmm.
00:49Yeah.
00:49Now, I can say, speaking on authority with season tickets
00:53and family members and friends who have had them,
00:57sometimes you go in and you say, like, not every game is Mike and his brother going.
01:03Yeah.
01:03There's probably a number of games Mike's bringing his wife or his son or his other kids or whatever.
01:07And same for his brother.
01:08Maybe bring in his wife or his, I don't, I would assume he doesn't have children if he's not fighting
01:13for his kids to go.
01:14So, nonetheless, it doesn't matter.
01:17So, but this was not calculated into their affairs.
01:21Yeah.
01:22Which is problem number one, right?
01:23You should have known from the beginning of the year, hey, if we get offered tickets, they're going to be
01:27mine or they're going to be yours.
01:29So, now they're stuck in a rock and a hard place, and I bet that's what Mike's saying.
01:32I can understand why he would make his brother pay because he's almost saying, like, hey, we're kind of, we're
01:38kind of paying for your ticket, too.
01:39Like, we're paying for all of ours.
01:41Why don't we just split the cost so all three of us can go together?
01:44That's his mindset.
01:45And this is his nephew.
01:46This is his nephew.
01:47So, what do you guys think?
01:50Well, I think it depends on what each of their households look like.
01:56Hmm.
01:56Okay.
01:57So, if the brother, if it's assumed that the brother is going to say, like, you have to pay up,
02:04I'm going to assume that the brother has no children because otherwise you'd be like, yeah, of course I would,
02:09you know, help pay for your kid because you pay for my kid all the time.
02:12Right, right.
02:13Depends on the household.
02:16Mike is married, so that's dual income.
02:19Right, right.
02:20Maybe the brother is not married, and I think if that's the case and he's a single income, then.
02:27Mike, just pay for it.
02:28Mike, just pay for your own kid.
02:29Donnie?
02:30Pay for your own kid in general.
02:32Why does the brother have to pay for the kid?
02:34He already has his ticket.
02:35His ticket, he's in.
02:38Why would I have to buy another ticket?
02:39He paid for half of it in the season ticket package from the beginning.
02:43That's just like going out to eat.
02:44If they were to go out to eat the three of them, the brother is going to pay for his
02:48own meal, and the dad has to pay for himself and his kid.
02:52What are we doing?
02:53No.
02:53And I get it.
02:54I totally get it.
02:55And I think it's, I think in general, it sounds like Mike just wants to bring his son.
03:01Yeah.
03:01Yeah.
03:02Not necessarily his brother.
03:03I don't want to draw conclusions here, but he can't tell his brother, hey, I want both tickets, because it
03:08sounds like they were offered it as part of the package.
03:10And so maybe there's no money exchanging hands, but it's not up to us.
03:15Yep.
03:16Right?
03:16It's up to you, XTU Nation.
