Transcript

Who gave the better gift on our eight year anniversary? And, yes, this is a competition. Allow me to go first. I treated Christina to a nice steak dinner where I surprised her with flowers that were bigger than her, two desserts, and some diamond earrings. And for me, I decided to do something a little different. Don't worse. I'll let you guys steal this idea from me too. Now Grant is really smart when it comes to directions, and he knew we were heading to No, but he didn't know that we were going to Goodyear Motor City Garage. And no, it's not just a tire service location. It is also the ultimate hangout spot. There's always different class cars there, video games, and really cool art like this laser cut tire. Grant was obsessed with it. He was asking all sorts of questions and was able to point out all the different images. And they were also customizing bags with a bunch of gadgets inside. Now this date wasn't the only surprise you guys will see at the very end what else I surprised him with, but this place also provides the same service available at any Goodyear auto service location. No, of course, they do tires, but they also do oil changes, alignments, free vehicle inspections, and a lot more. I had a great time and even got to see the Goodyear blimp on the way back to the shop, though I still thought I had the edge with the diamond earrings. But little did I know Christina had one last surprise up her sleeve. Bro. Right no, are you serious? She surprised me with not one, not two, but three sets of brand new Goodyear tires. So who do you think got the best gift?
