1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: I issued a challenge to all of you.

2
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: Give us your war stories of when you tried to

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: be romantic and something went wrong, something backfired, Or ladies,

4
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 2: when a dude really thought he was being smooth and

5
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 2: delivering the goods and it was really cringe worthy and bad.

6
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,639
Speaker 2: We want those stories too, two three nine ninety three

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 2: ninety three. Now I believe we've got Cindy standing by Cindy, Welcome.

8
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: To the hammer in Nigel Show.

9
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Hi, guys, I thought i'd make cinnamon chicken.

10
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 3: My husband loves cinnamon toast and he like chickens.

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,080
Speaker 4: Well, I followed the directions to a tea and the

12
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 4: dog wouldn't even eat it.

13
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:51,320
Speaker 2: Oh no, So you try to make this fancy romantic dinner.

14
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 2: You maybe even have it by candlelight, I don't know.

15
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: And it tasted like something that even Pritzker would not eat.

16
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,320
Speaker 4: The dog ate everything. The dog wouldn't even eat it.

17
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, what have you ever heard had cinnamon chicken?

18
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: I've never heard of them. Did you ever try making

19
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,759
Speaker 1: it again? Cindy? Like, did you just do the recipe?

20
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: Bad? No?

21
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 6: And I've never made a sense.

22
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 7: All right, I mean, you just grilled up some chicken

23
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 7: and sprinkled some cinnamon on top of it.

24
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 6: We ran out and got a pizza.

25
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 2: Right, but the original recipe, like when you were like

26
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: marinating it, did you put like cinnamon on it or

27
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: you just sprinkle it on at the end.

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,720
Speaker 6: You put cinnamon sticks in with it cooking?

29
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: Okay, well that sounds horrible. It was well, Cindy, I

30
00:01:40,480 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: appreciate that. Thank you, Thank you, Austin. Austin is next

31
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 2: stone cold Austin.

32
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: What's up?

33
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 5: Man?

34
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

35
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,960
Speaker 6: So how long ago me and my wife were going

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 6: to a little bit of a hard patch. So I

37
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 6: thought to see a kind of a romantic gesture to

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 6: do what I did when I when we first started

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 6: dating twenty years ago, I bought a single rose.

40
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 3: I wrote a nice little.

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,600
Speaker 6: Letter, and I second on her windshield when she was

42
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 6: at work, so when she would come out after work,

43
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,519
Speaker 6: she would see the rose and you know, have a

44
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 6: nice little note.

45
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 5: She never saw it.

46
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 7: It blew off.

47
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 3: She lost the rose, lost.

48
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 6: The note, and I think I made her more mad

49
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 6: that I wasted the money on the card and the

50
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 6: road that she never got than what it would have

51
00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 6: been if I would have not done anything.

52
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:36,640
Speaker 2: So dude, Austin, that sounds like my wife exactly, Austin,

53
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 2: that's Crystal Hammer.

54
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: She would be pissed off that I.

55
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,080
Speaker 2: Spent the money on something that would either be thrown

56
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: away soon or you know, just be blown off a

57
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 2: car in your case. Like, that's the thing that we

58
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: deal with in our house. Like we celebrate holidays when

59
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 2: it's convenient for us, If that makes sense.

60
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 5: Nige, how's the did we hang up on Austin? Is

61
00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 5: he still there? House?

62
00:02:59,440 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: House?

63
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 5: Marriage? How's the marriage doing? By the way we made.

64
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Speaker 1: Through the patch.

65
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 6: I mean, you've been together for twenty years and we

66
00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 6: made it to almost twenty two, so it worked out.

67
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 6: But she still wasn't happy to count missing the rips.

68
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 2: You know, what you try, you get the a for effort.

69
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 2: Jeff is up next. Jeff, Welcome to the hammer in Nigel.

70
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: Show what you got.

71
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 3: Hey, thanks for technical Well. I got a wild wind.

00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: I got to go back to like seventy six or

73
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 3: seventy seven. I was in high school and I borrowed

74
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 3: my mother's Pinto wagon. Do you remember those with the

75
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 3: wood strips.

76
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: Yes.

77
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 3: I took go find out the thirtieth Street park on

78
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,880
Speaker 3: the far east side, and we parked way in the

79
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,320
Speaker 3: back and boy were grinding, and then it started raining,

80
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: and it rained. It y so bad that I had

81
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 3: to walk to someone's house call my father, Okay, have

82
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 3: us towed out? Why? I drove home with the pinto

83
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:04,840
Speaker 3: My dad took her home and said, you're never going

84
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: to date my son again.

85
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 5: Oh wow.

86
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: The dad was like, hey, you're not going to date

87
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: my son again.

88
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 5: I would think it would be the other way around.

89
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: Right, you don't normally see that, but can.

90
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 3: You can you believe that that really happened. Look, I

91
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 3: swear to God it's the truth. Look. He drove her

92
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: home in his Lincoln and said, Hey, I prefer you're

93
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 3: not seeing my son anymore.

94
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: Now, let's go back to your verbiage. We were grinding?

95
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,159
Speaker 2: What like, what was the smooth line that sealed the

96
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 2: deal that warranted the grinding?

97
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: What did take much? Back then? I thought everything? So

98
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: the windows fogged up and the next thing you know,

99
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 3: they were fogged up. It's raining outside and new curs

100
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 3: after that.

101
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:47,280
Speaker 5: Great, dang, you didn't have to put too much thought

102
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 5: into it.

103
00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 2: We need to make a T shirt on the merch store.

104
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,239
Speaker 2: We were grinding. We were grinding. John is up next.

110
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 4: of years and haven't been able to do it. But

111
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 4: I trying to follow up that last story. That's that's

112
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 4: a little crazy right there. I got a quick one

113
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 4: early in my my well first marriage. This might be

114
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 4: why I'm divorced now. She we were in our mid twenties.

115
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get a thoughtful gift. She always used

116
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 4: to like bleach her mustache, you know the thing, you

117
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 4: know how they do, uh huh.

118
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: You know.

119
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 4: I was infomercial freak back in the day, and so

120
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: I saw the thing about the mustaching kip for women.

121
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 4: I'm like, oh, that's a hell of a gift right there.

122
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:40,679
Speaker 3: If I got sure thing and she went nuts.

123
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,800
Speaker 4: She went crazy through it and was telling me how

124
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,960
Speaker 4: horrible of a fiance I was and all that.

125
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 7: So it was a dodge the bullet. But both of

126
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 7: you sounds like possibly catchable.

127
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: I see a guide that was just offering solutions, that's

128
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: all that I see a guide that was trying to help.

129
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 4: I was doing. You know, we we get we get

130
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 4: told not to just listen, don't solve the problem. So

131
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 4: I was probably my first misax.

132
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, all right, man, Well I appreciate that, Nige.

133
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,120
Speaker 2: I want to tell you my most romantic thing that

134
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,240
Speaker 2: I've ever done now, on a scale of one to ten,

135
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:17,920
Speaker 2: with ten being really romantic okay, and one being just romantic.

136
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 7: So this is not something you screwed up necessarily. This

137
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 7: is no you went all out, you put right.

138
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: I think this is a ten, but you decide, Allison,

139
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: feel free to judge as well. Ten is the best,

140
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,599
Speaker 2: one is the worst on the romantic scale. Here, first

141
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: year in the new house, still living together, not quite

142
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,039
Speaker 2: married yet, we're living in sin but it's the first year.

143
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,720
Speaker 2: It's Christmas time, so we're putting up the tree, okay,

144
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 2: and I got the ornaments in my hand. I say,

145
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:49,640
Speaker 2: I'm going to go use the restroom.

146
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,799
Speaker 1: I'll be right back. So I go to the bathroom

147
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,279
Speaker 1: and I come back.

148
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,480
Speaker 2: I've got a Santa hat on, no pants, fully extended

149
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 2: with the orn that's hanging on it, and I started

150
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 2: singing Christmas songs extended. She starts laughing, so hard I'm laughing.

151
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, we're breaking in the Christmas tree.

152
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: On the floor.

153
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, So ornaments hanging off the crank,

154
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 2: Santa hat singing Holly Jolly Christmas. Is that ten very

155
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,920
Speaker 2: romantic or one just romantic?

156
00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 3: No?

157
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 7: That's ten, thank you. That's it a ten, especially since

158
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 7: she consummated the Christmas tree. I guess yes, as you

159
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 7: put it, broke it in right, we were right under

160
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,080
