Summary

Lima is dropping two grand on his wife's 40th birthday between a party bus, a winery tour, and a nice dinner, and her brother Jake keeps texting from California wanting to chip in but has gotten nothing but deflection back. The guys debate whether there is something inherently awkward about a husband accepting money from his brother-in-law for his own wife's celebration, even when the relationship is totally solid and Jake genuinely just feels bad about being far away. The verdict leans toward just letting Jake shove some cash in his hand when he gets to town and not making it weird.
