Parkins wanted to get Spiegel on the show to ask him if he thought it was a bad wedding gift.

Bad move by Parkins.

Spiegel said you do those appearances only for exposure and giving those gift cards as a wedding gift was embarrassing and pathetic. And now Parkins is pissing off Spiegel by criticizing the food at the wedding.

Mac V Spiegs heating up !

Pathetic move by Parkins. You don't re-gift gift cards, especially if the person knows where they came from. Not even Bernstein is this cheap.

That's not a technicality, Danny.



Ahem.

Wow, Parkins said "It's your third wedding, there was no registry...."

Holy shit.

To be fair, doesn't meat pants get married every few years? I wouldn't want to waste money either.

Point goes to Parkins here, it's a 3rd wedding so yeah you're lucky to get a gift. 3rd weddings should be in front of a judge with the couple and a few close friends who then go out for drinks after.

If the number of previous marriages factors into the kind of gift you give to the person you just met 15 months ago, don't go to the wedding.

Regifting is tacky enough, but trotting out "well, it's your third so you're lucky to get anything" is just being a pathetic human being.

there are rules, I remember when Liza Minnelli had her 4th wedding, Roe and Garry (they were still together) had a field day with it when her registry was out. It was one of the funniest segments of radio I ever heard. You don't throw a big wedding for something like this and you definitely don't expect to receive big gifts for it.

You congratulate him on wedding #3, but you don't go out and get the type of gift you would get for young 1st time married couples. Heck, Matt deserves a DBotW nom just for expecting to be treated as he was for wedding #1 and having a real reception. He'd deserve a mid-seed in the Tournament of Bad if that were still a thing.

Parkins is my guy but that's a bad move. You're basically asking for this type of confrontation if you're regifting gift cards as a wedding gift and the guy knows exactly where you got them from.

Was this all done in a light hearted ball busting way or was it tense? If it's the latter than Spiegel obviously handled this very poorly too.

Also factoring in here is we all know that #3 won't be the last one for Spiegs

If it was the girl's first wedding despite it being his 3rd, then it's different. You have to give her the big wedding because it's her first. But it's not. It's her 2nd because Spiegel has talked about her kids.

I have no problem with Parkins in this case. He's only known him for a year. It's not like they're life long friends.

I'm sure Spiegel has invited some people to all 3 of his weddings. That's embarrassing. And those people are thinking, "Jesus Christ, I've given him over a grand in gifts for all of these weddings. And there is probably gonna be a 4th."

Point being, when it's your 3rd wedding, don't bitch about the gifts. Just say thank you.

Right. If you take your new wife to a Cubs game in her wedding dress dont bitch about getting a gift card

I've never done it but is a gift card really a regift? It's basically cash.

What man bitches about his wedding gifts anyway? I guess if I had to pick anyone, it'd be Spiegel.

Prediction: Spiegel puts the gift certificate in a drawer, forgets about it, and when he discovers it he'll use it to take his girlfriend to dinner and propose to her. This girl will be the 5th wife.

third wedding YOU give out gifts so people bother to show up.
