0:00:05.920 --> 0:00:07.080
<v Speaker 2>Barefoot guy yesterday.

<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and that he didn't even think it was weird

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:11.840
<v Speaker 1>that he went an entire date.

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:12.200
<v Speaker 2>No.

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 3>I don't know if you read the comments, but honestly,

0:00:14.520 --> 0:00:16.319
<v Speaker 3>quite a few of our listeners didn't think it was weird.

0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:16.919
<v Speaker 2>E there what.

0:00:17.160 --> 0:00:19.040

0:00:18.920 --> 0:00:19.280
<v Speaker 5>There is.

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 3>We got it on the street. Yes, Sydney is too

0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 3>judgmental for my taste. I don't think it's a big

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 3>deal to walk without shoes. Come to Australia. We don't

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 3>wear shoes here. Shoes are overrated.

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.000
<v Speaker 6>I feel like I'm a hybrid of this, Like if

0:00:32.040 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 6>I'm on carpet, grass, or sand, I want to feel

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:34.879
<v Speaker 6>it with.

0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 2>My Feet's normal.

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's crazy to me. Yeah, yeah, I don't want

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:40.800
<v Speaker 4>to walk down the road.

0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Anywhere a car was. I don't like to be bear

0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:44.479
<v Speaker 2>you know.

0:00:44.720 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, I don't know.

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:46.080
<v Speaker 8>I don't know why.

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.200
<v Speaker 3>And then one, well, he's right, trees have been around

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:49.840
<v Speaker 3>longer than plumbing.

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 2>Because we didn't even talk about him beeing on the day.

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 4>It is the original toilet.

0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean, the longest living organism on the planet is

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 2>are phenomenal.

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.120
<v Speaker 1>Okay, all right, we got a brand new awkward Tuesday

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:05.559
<v Speaker 1>for you, and it's going to start right now.

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 9>I've looked at social media once or twice, and I've

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.480
<v Speaker 9>learned the only thing that goes more viral than a sweet,

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:18.560
<v Speaker 9>happy marriage proposal is a messy, awkward marriage proposal.

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 4>Gone horribly wrong.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.560
<v Speaker 9>That's so true, and that's why when I saw our

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:24.280
<v Speaker 9>listener's email today, I knew we had to talk to

0:01:24.360 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 9>him because he hasn't had just one failed proposal, but

0:01:28.640 --> 0:01:31.920
<v Speaker 9>three in a row, and he needs our help to

0:01:31.959 --> 0:01:35.920
<v Speaker 9>figure out Am I doing something wrong here? Or is

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:39.559
<v Speaker 9>there another explanation? You're gonna hear it in your brand

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 9>new awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 10>Next, it's awkward, It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:53.639
<v Speaker 9>Some people in relationships believe there's cosmic signs that show

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 9>you're meant to be together. Okay, like when you start

0:01:57.240 --> 0:02:01.800
<v Speaker 9>finishing each other's sentences, or every time you say their name,

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:06.160
<v Speaker 9>a church bell rings, wow, or a pigeon lands and

0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 9>poops on your shoulder then flies over in poops on

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 9>their car.

0:02:10.400 --> 0:02:10.720
<v Speaker 5>Wow.

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 9>These are positive signs from the universe saying.

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:15.920
<v Speaker 4>You belong together.

0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 9>But one of our listeners apparently has been receiving a

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.919
<v Speaker 9>different kind of message from the cosmos about his relationship. Oh,

0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 9>his name is Keith. Keith, what are the signs telling you?

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.280
<v Speaker 8>I mean, the signs are kind of.

0:02:31.440 --> 0:02:34.160
<v Speaker 7>The actions of my girlfriend recently.

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 2>All the signs aren't from the universe.

0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:39.000
<v Speaker 4>It can be determined as cosmic messages.

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>I think that's just girlfriend messages, jeh from the cos it's.

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:44.919
<v Speaker 2>Her name, Cosmos. Is that what we're getting now?

0:02:45.040 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 4>He could be, But what what is it telling you? Keith?

0:02:47.600 --> 0:02:50.200
<v Speaker 7>Now her name is Lilah, but who knows.

0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:54.120
<v Speaker 8>Maybe there is some cosmic energy that's affecting her. Because

0:02:54.240 --> 0:02:59.959
<v Speaker 8>I really feel like she's trying to sabotage my marriage proposal.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:04.600
<v Speaker 2>I thought you were going to say my marriage.

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:09.119
<v Speaker 9>We would be okay with either one of those things.

0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.280
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, you're trying.

0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 9>You're trying to propose to your girlfriend, but you feel

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.680
<v Speaker 9>like she's sabotaging it.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.520
<v Speaker 7>Right, we are not married. We've been dating for two years.

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 8>The first time I tried to propose her, I was

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 8>going to do it in in a park, you know,

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:32.000
<v Speaker 8>I had the ring ready to go, and maybe she's

0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 8>got the sense that something was up because I was

0:03:34.000 --> 0:03:36.440
<v Speaker 8>a little nervous and like a little walk in the

0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 8>park is not something that we normally do.

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.640
<v Speaker 7>As we're walking in the park, she just turns to

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:45.600
<v Speaker 7>me and says, Hey, if you're gonna do what I

0:03:45.640 --> 0:03:47.760
<v Speaker 7>think you're gonna do, I don't want it to be

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 7>like this.

0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh pretty public that Okay.

0:03:53.640 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 9>I can't believe she just came out and said that

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:57.960
<v Speaker 9>to you, Like, well, how did you react when she

0:03:58.080 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 9>told you that, Like, don't propose to me?

0:03:59.840 --> 0:03:59.920
<v Speaker 10>Right?

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 7>No, I just joked it up.

0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.200
<v Speaker 8>I was like, what do you think I'm not going

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 8>to propose in a park like this? It's so corny,

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:10.120
<v Speaker 8>Like I just I just tried to play it cool.

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, hey, it'd have been like, oh I.

0:04:11.840 --> 0:04:13.640
<v Speaker 4>Was just gonna kiss you, but not for these people.

0:04:13.680 --> 0:04:15.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, But I think you could take that as a

0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:18.040
<v Speaker 1>positive too, Like she obviously wants you to do it,

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and she has a vision of how it's going to

0:04:20.320 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>happen in her mind. That means she's thinking of you,

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.680
<v Speaker 1>and I mean it sounds like she'll say yes, which

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>is great.

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:26.839
<v Speaker 7>Yeah.

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 8>We'll flash forward a little bit to a couple months ago,

0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:34.039
<v Speaker 8>I tried again. We took a trip to New York

0:04:34.120 --> 0:04:38.320
<v Speaker 8>City and I went like scrolling on online and tried.

0:04:38.360 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 8>I tried to find like a really fancy dinner, and

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:43.560
<v Speaker 8>she like agreed to it for a little while. But

0:04:43.600 --> 0:04:47.600
<v Speaker 8>then the night we were there, she says she thinks

0:04:47.600 --> 0:04:49.719
<v Speaker 8>she has an eye infection and she wanted to stay

0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:50.719
<v Speaker 8>in the hotel that night.

0:04:50.760 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 7>So I was like, okay, you know, pink eye.

0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:54.000
<v Speaker 4>It'll hit you broke.

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.560
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, she made up an excuse that she had some

0:04:57.760 --> 0:04:58.480
<v Speaker 9>eye problem.

0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:01.200
<v Speaker 7>I don't know if it was a fake eye infection

0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 7>or if it was a coincidence, but huh. There was

0:05:04.600 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 7>one more time recently, I tried it again.

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 2>I like that you're not giving up. This is important

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 2>and you know how she'd want it though.

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I like that it is a good point of lexis

0:05:15.640 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 1>that maybe you should have said, well, what do you want?

0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:18.840
<v Speaker 4>Well, he's clearly trying.

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 9>He's clearly trying to like make it a surprise, and

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 9>she obviously knows something is coming, so he doesn't want

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.239
<v Speaker 9>to like blow it entirely.

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 6>But at this rate, it's going to be like, oh,

0:05:26.680 --> 0:05:28.760
<v Speaker 6>we've been married for three years, but I've been trying

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:29.600
<v Speaker 6>to propose.

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:30.040
<v Speaker 10>For fucking right.

0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.359
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, so what was your what was your idea for

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:34.520
<v Speaker 4>your third proposal?

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:37.560
<v Speaker 8>Okay, yeah, this one is where I'm really like, Okay,

0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:40.359
<v Speaker 8>something's up. So about two weeks ago, I had a

0:05:40.360 --> 0:05:43.640
<v Speaker 8>picnic setup and the you know, I had like her

0:05:43.680 --> 0:05:48.120
<v Speaker 8>favorite a favorite meal, and a candle and nice wine.

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>We're back to a park.

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.200
<v Speaker 4>I know, why would you repeat the parts? Is it

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:52.919
<v Speaker 4>in the park or is it like private?

0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.000
<v Speaker 7>This was on the beach, not in the park.

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 9>Okay, okay, okay, a very private, exclusive beach.

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.080
<v Speaker 8>When she came and she showed up, she again had

0:06:02.120 --> 0:06:05.159
<v Speaker 8>that like nervous look on her face. And not too

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 8>long after, the blanket suddenly catches on fire. What whoa,

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.920
<v Speaker 8>whoa wha because of the candle.

0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 7>The candle fell over and the blanket catches on fire.

0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 7>So I had to put it out.

0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:17.119
<v Speaker 8>And I had my phone set up on a tree

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.320
<v Speaker 8>nearby because I was going to film the proposal. And

0:06:20.400 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 8>I saw in the tape that she knocked the candle

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 8>over like on purpose.

0:06:24.520 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 7>I saw her do it.

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:27.840
<v Speaker 4>Oh she started the fire.

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.840
<v Speaker 6>Maybe she doesn't want to marry you man, And I like.

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:34.400
<v Speaker 8>Honestly, well that's what I'm worried about, you know, like

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 8>because we're still like everything else otherwise is still fine. Like,

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 8>so either she doesn't want to get married or ready,

0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 8>So what.

0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.360
<v Speaker 2>Do you want to do with your awkward call?

0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:43.760
<v Speaker 5>Though? Like?

0:06:44.160 --> 0:06:47.159
<v Speaker 2>Are we calling her to see the Yeah?

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:49.360
<v Speaker 4>This is this proposal number four.

0:06:50.360 --> 0:06:53.040
<v Speaker 7>I just I did need some help navigating the conversation.

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:54.919
<v Speaker 7>She doesn't know that.

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.320
<v Speaker 8>I know she botched that last one, and you know,

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.479
<v Speaker 8>I don't want her to feel up about that.

0:07:00.520 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 7>I just want to know, like what's going on?

0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:07.880
<v Speaker 9>Oh, okay, okay, So this is an information finding mission

0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 9>to figure out why she keeps turning it down.

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, she might not even want to get married to me,

0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 8>and I would want to know that instead of just

0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.520
<v Speaker 8>like trying and failing all these times?

0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 2>Is a return policy on these rings?

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:19.560
<v Speaker 5>What's the story that?

0:07:19.720 --> 0:07:21.080
<v Speaker 4>I don't want to be negative?

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 6>But what happens if you're like, oh, we don't want

0:07:22.640 --> 0:07:24.120
<v Speaker 6>to get married, then you just break up?

0:07:24.360 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 9>No, you get married anyway, Jose, that's what you've carried.

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:30.000
<v Speaker 9>You force the marriage, and then you break up.

0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.440
<v Speaker 2>Some couple say together. Some couples break up.

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.000
<v Speaker 9>You won't know until you sign that document locking you

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.520
<v Speaker 9>together forever. How you really feel about the marriage.

0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 5>Till you're in it.

0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.520
<v Speaker 2>I hope you know before you sign the document.

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:46.800
<v Speaker 4>How could you know until you're married exactly? Don't.

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, we do need to focus on some advice, though,

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 9>so we'll think of some to give you.

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 4>We'll come back and we'll call your maybe.

0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 9>Future fiance depending on how this conversation goes when we

0:07:57.240 --> 0:07:59.880
<v Speaker 9>do your awkward Tuesday phone call right after this.

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:01.000
<v Speaker 7>Thank you so much.

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 4>All right, man, hold on, it's awkward.

0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:08.240
<v Speaker 10>It's it's awkward Tuesday phone call.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:12.360
<v Speaker 9>How can you tell if your girlfriend is actively trying

0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 9>to sabotage your marriage proposals? Oh goodness, and I say

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:20.480
<v Speaker 9>proposals plural, because our listener Keith has attempted to pop

0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:25.000
<v Speaker 9>the question three separate times to his girlfriend. Each one

0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 9>got shut down by Lylah before he even really got

0:08:28.120 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 9>started with them.

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 4>But the last one is the most.

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:34.080
<v Speaker 9>Incriminating because it was caught on camera while he was

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 9>secretly filming.

0:08:36.200 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 4>As men like to do, let film us with our girlfriend.

0:08:39.760 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 2>H that's very illegal, go to jail for a long time.

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.960
<v Speaker 9>Unless it's for a marriage proposal, which is totally fine

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:49.640
<v Speaker 9>because in the footage he saw her purposely knock over

0:08:49.679 --> 0:08:53.439
<v Speaker 9>the candle and light their picnic blanket on fire. Geez,

0:08:53.520 --> 0:08:56.319
<v Speaker 9>stopping the marriage proposal before he even got to it.

0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 4>Have we considered she's an arsonist?

0:08:58.240 --> 0:09:00.800
<v Speaker 9>Could be a possibility he might need more flames in

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 9>the next attempt. It's just after that, Keith is wondering,

0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:06.800
<v Speaker 9>is the problem actually with the proposal or does she

0:09:06.920 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 9>actually even want.

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 4>To marry me?

0:09:08.600 --> 0:09:08.840
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 9>Not exactly the easiest conversation to have with your significant other.

0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:15.000
<v Speaker 4>So he needs advice, Brooke, what do you have to

0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:15.560
<v Speaker 4>say to him?

0:09:15.720 --> 0:09:18.360
<v Speaker 1>Well, I think you do something that my husband perfected

0:09:18.400 --> 0:09:19.400
<v Speaker 1>a long time ago.

0:09:20.120 --> 0:09:23.160
<v Speaker 4>Let's yeah, let's not go into the bedroom stuff, and that.

0:09:23.160 --> 0:09:26.959
<v Speaker 2>Is play dumb. Okay, play dumb. Go into it and

0:09:27.040 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 2>just be like, Okay, I didn't want to tell you,

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:30.839
<v Speaker 2>but I had a little surprise for you the other

0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 2>night on the beach.

0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:38.000
<v Speaker 1>So I was filming and you wouldn't believe what I saw.

0:09:38.840 --> 0:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>It looked like you tried to light the blanket on fire.

0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:42.680
<v Speaker 2>Isn't that crazy?

0:09:43.000 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 4>I see?

0:09:43.880 --> 0:09:47.440
<v Speaker 9>So it's not like you're actively accusing her of doing it.

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 4>You're just like, I saw something weird, Yeah weird. What

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 4>do you think about that? Keith?

0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:54.720
<v Speaker 7>Then my work I'm pretty good at playing dumb.

0:09:57.080 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, all of us, sorry, have that ability. So okay,

0:10:00.120 --> 0:10:02.199
<v Speaker 9>keep that in your back pocket, hose. What's your advice?

0:10:02.440 --> 0:10:04.760
<v Speaker 4>Maybe it has nothing to do with you.

0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 6>It could be something that she's built this up in

0:10:07.520 --> 0:10:10.040
<v Speaker 6>her mind and you're not living up to this expectation

0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 6>that you don't.

0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:11.720
<v Speaker 4>Even know about.

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Right.

0:10:12.280 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 9>It is interesting that all of your talks about marriage,

0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.400
<v Speaker 9>those are going fine, but when it comes to the

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:23.040
<v Speaker 9>actual proposal, that's where everything falls off the right place. Yeah,

0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 9>all right, alexis where's your recommendation? Where should he propose?

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to get married, don't do it?

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 9>Okay, there's no good place for all right. Well, that's

0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 9>our advice for you. Keep We're all scared in studio.

0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.640
<v Speaker 9>Thank god you're the person making this call, but we

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 9>will be on the other line ready to jump in

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:46.000

<v Speaker 4>All right, you got it, buddy.

0:10:49.840 --> 0:10:51.960
<v Speaker 9>What's the worst that can happen? You're just asking your

0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:53.880
<v Speaker 9>girlfriend if the idea of marriage.

0:10:53.520 --> 0:10:55.080
<v Speaker 4>Discusss her, they could break up.

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:55.640
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:55.720 --> 0:10:58.640
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I'm trying to ask that question in a positive way.

0:10:58.840 --> 0:10:59.960
<v Speaker 4>What's the worst that could happen.

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:04.280
<v Speaker 9>I wasn't expecting everybody to jump on all right, Sorry

0:11:04.280 --> 0:11:05.480

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>I know.

0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 8>I know your beach is your favorite and kind of

0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 8>kind of ruined the mood there.

0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:54.360

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 8>I don't know why. It just it looked like it

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:16.200
<v Speaker 8>looked like you you might have set the blanket on

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 8>fire on purpose, but like I don't think you would.

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 7>Do that, you know, right, I don't know what happened.

0:12:23.040 --> 0:12:25.400

<v Speaker 5>guess I should.

0:13:19.760 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:23.080
<v Speaker 5>I've just been having some second thoughts and I've been

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.640

<v Speaker 5>know what to do about the thoughts, and and I

0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.440
<v Speaker 5>don't want to. I don't want you to. I didn't

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:45.079
<v Speaker 5>want you to be hurt by this, which is why

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:46.960
<v Speaker 5>I was like resisting.

0:13:48.360 --> 0:13:50.680
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, yeah, babe, I just like I don't. I don't

0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 8>like this, Like I feel very nervous, Like I feel

0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.680
<v Speaker 8>like you'd be better if you just told me.

0:13:58.200 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 5>Mmm, okay, M, I don't know how to say this. Okay,

0:14:05.440 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 5>So probably about three months ago I went to pick

0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.160
<v Speaker 5>you up at the gym and I saw that you

0:14:12.200 --> 0:14:15.679
<v Speaker 5>were playing basketball outside, and for me, I've always dreamed

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 5>of having athletic children, and after watching you play basketball,

0:14:21.000 --> 0:14:23.440
<v Speaker 5>I don't know. I'm not sure if that's possible.

0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:28.320
<v Speaker 10>What that is?

0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 1>Not?

0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.040
<v Speaker 2>A thing? That's not that's not it?

0:14:31.600 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 7>What's going on?

0:14:33.040 --> 0:14:35.120
<v Speaker 5>What? Who are all these people?

0:14:35.160 --> 0:14:38.880
<v Speaker 4>What's happening these people that you're hearing. We're a radio

0:14:38.880 --> 0:14:43.760
<v Speaker 4>show called Brooke and Jeffrey in the morning. Oh gosh, yeah,

0:14:44.040 --> 0:14:50.560
<v Speaker 4>we hear with your future he's really good. Yeah that

0:14:50.640 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 4>doesn't matter.

0:14:52.280 --> 0:14:55.720
<v Speaker 9>It could matter to her if she prioritizes that high

0:14:55.720 --> 0:14:57.320
<v Speaker 9>on her list of potential partners.

0:14:57.400 --> 0:14:59.160
<v Speaker 2>I have a story that will change your mind. I

0:14:59.200 --> 0:15:02.200
<v Speaker 2>promise going to be here for how much time do

0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:02.560
<v Speaker 2>we help?

<v Speaker 4>Hold on everybody?

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:05.240
<v Speaker 7>I just I just want to say something. I like,

0:15:05.320 --> 0:15:08.920
<v Speaker 7>I actually am really good at basketball, Like I've played

0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 7>all through high school.

0:15:10.320 --> 0:15:14.040
<v Speaker 9>Everybody plays h Brooks on the volleyball team, on the

0:15:14.080 --> 0:15:14.680
<v Speaker 9>c squad.

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:17.960
<v Speaker 5>So, Keith, I'm so sorry. I didn't know all these

0:15:17.960 --> 0:15:20.520
<v Speaker 5>people were on this call. I wouldn't have said these

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:21.480
<v Speaker 5>things on the radio.

0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:22.960
<v Speaker 2>That's what he wanted though.

0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:26.040
<v Speaker 1>He wanted the truth out and sounded like you guys

0:15:26.120 --> 0:15:28.160
<v Speaker 1>needed some help to start this conversation.

0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 9>I don't know if this is overstepping, but I feel

0:15:30.440 --> 0:15:33.440
<v Speaker 9>like Keith has noticed a few things over the last

0:15:33.480 --> 0:15:36.320
<v Speaker 9>several months that are pointing to you not wanting to

0:15:36.960 --> 0:15:37.520
<v Speaker 9>say yes.

0:15:38.080 --> 0:15:42.240
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I'm just hesitant, okay, because you're worried that

0:15:42.440 --> 0:15:44.600
<v Speaker 5>someday you're going to have babies with Keith, and there's

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.080
<v Speaker 5>babies aren't going to be not able to dunk. I

0:15:47.200 --> 0:15:52.480
<v Speaker 5>grew up playing sports. I always imagined being at sports

0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.920
<v Speaker 5>with my kids and doing those type of things.

0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:56.200
<v Speaker 2>And you can't know.

0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:59.040
<v Speaker 1>That, Like there's no way to know, Like how your

0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.600
<v Speaker 1>kids don't don't exist right now, are going to be

0:16:01.760 --> 0:16:02.360
<v Speaker 1>in sports?

0:16:02.560 --> 0:16:03.080
<v Speaker 5>I don't know.

0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:07.360
<v Speaker 8>I saw him, Well, they'll get all the love and

0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:08.880
<v Speaker 8>support I can give them.

0:16:08.920 --> 0:16:12.080
<v Speaker 2>That, Okay, Like that is such a great response.

0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:13.720
<v Speaker 1>And that's what you really want to look for, is

0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:16.680
<v Speaker 1>someone that'll be a great father, not someone based on

0:16:16.680 --> 0:16:17.960
<v Speaker 1>their athletic ability.

0:16:18.240 --> 0:16:20.960
<v Speaker 9>I never heard Lila say anything about wanting her children

0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:22.000
<v Speaker 9>to be loved or supported.

0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:23.920
<v Speaker 4>She didn't bring it up.

0:16:24.880 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 6>Supporting they get participation.

0:16:26.680 --> 0:16:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Trooper, I'm sorry I'm doing it.

0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:30.280
<v Speaker 1>But my best friend and Mary, one of the most

0:16:30.480 --> 0:16:34.120
<v Speaker 1>unathletic people I have ever met in my life and friends.

0:16:34.240 --> 0:16:37.800
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, he just that's what he is. He would

0:16:37.840 --> 0:16:42.200
<v Speaker 2>admit that. And her kids are like elite basketball players.

0:16:42.320 --> 0:16:43.680
<v Speaker 4>Well does that make you feel better?

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:47.080
<v Speaker 9>Lilah Brooke knows somebody who has kids and they turned

0:16:47.080 --> 0:16:50.000
<v Speaker 9>out to be that's why they say, you don't know.

0:16:50.400 --> 0:16:52.480
<v Speaker 5>Obviously, I don't want to force them to be anything,

0:16:52.600 --> 0:16:56.280
<v Speaker 5>but like I would encourage sports and being athletic, and

0:16:56.920 --> 0:16:58.640
<v Speaker 5>I don't know if that's possible.

0:16:58.840 --> 0:17:01.440
<v Speaker 9>Okay, we're just word going to read between the lines.

0:17:01.760 --> 0:17:04.120
<v Speaker 9>Instead of shooting more three pointers, you go for more

0:17:04.160 --> 0:17:06.359
<v Speaker 9>layups during pick up basketball.

0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:07.040
<v Speaker 7>All right.

0:17:07.400 --> 0:17:09.840
<v Speaker 8>Well it's also a team sport, right, and I'm a

0:17:09.840 --> 0:17:10.720
<v Speaker 8>great team player.

0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:14.320
<v Speaker 9>Okay, so much of a team player. You never shoot

0:17:14.320 --> 0:17:16.200
<v Speaker 9>the ball yourself, just keep passing.

0:17:15.800 --> 0:17:19.040
<v Speaker 5>It, all right. I mean, of course we can talk

0:17:19.040 --> 0:17:22.000
<v Speaker 5>more about this. I'm seeing that maybe as we're talking

0:17:22.040 --> 0:17:27.160
<v Speaker 5>this out loud, that maybe there's still room for the possibility.

0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:29.880
<v Speaker 4>There's a sliver of hope for you right there.

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 9>So if I was you, I would propose in the

0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.840
<v Speaker 9>next ten seconds and use the positive momentum to your advantage.

0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:36.840
<v Speaker 4>This is not the time before you lose it. Keith,

0:17:36.880 --> 0:17:37.400
<v Speaker 4>now or never.

0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.680
<v Speaker 5>You don't have to propose right now, but I am

0:17:40.880 --> 0:17:42.200
<v Speaker 5>more in joh.

0:17:44.400 --> 0:17:44.879
<v Speaker 4>Your chance.

0:17:44.880 --> 0:17:47.000
<v Speaker 2>It was right there.

0:17:47.800 --> 0:17:52.200
<v Speaker 9>Yeah, yes, keep us updated down the line. What happens

0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:54.480
<v Speaker 9>between you two and your relationship?

0:17:54.560 --> 0:17:55.800
<v Speaker 7>Well do, Thanks so much.

0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:59.200
<v Speaker 9>Just remember to stay away from any beaches, parks, fancy

0:17:59.240 --> 0:18:02.200
<v Speaker 9>restaurants all of New York City and basketball court.

0:18:02.160 --> 0:18:06.040
<v Speaker 1>And basketball it's freaking Jeffrey in the morning.

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:10.679
<v Speaker 9>Is anything more of a turnoff than an unathletic baby.

0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.480
<v Speaker 3>I'm telling you you can't judge how athletic your kids

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:15.000
<v Speaker 3>are going to be.

0:18:15.119 --> 0:18:18.280
<v Speaker 9>Well sure, but once once an unathletic child comes out,

0:18:18.560 --> 0:18:20.680
<v Speaker 9>say what you will. But a baby drops his rattle

0:18:20.720 --> 0:18:23.159
<v Speaker 9>and immediately I think, yikes, he's not going to the NFL.

0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:28.000
<v Speaker 2>Baby doesn't come out with a six pack.

0:18:29.400 --> 0:18:30.280
<v Speaker 4>Just disappointing.

0:18:30.400 --> 0:18:33.200
<v Speaker 9>Look, I don't think we fixed this relationship by any

0:18:33.200 --> 0:18:35.600
<v Speaker 9>means with this phone call, but at least we help

0:18:35.680 --> 0:18:38.600
<v Speaker 9>them start the conversation so that they can talk about

0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:39.520
<v Speaker 9>what they both.

0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:42.000
<v Speaker 4>Really want to get out of a potential marriage. Yeah,

0:18:42.040 --> 0:18:42.720
<v Speaker 4>it might not be.

0:18:42.680 --> 0:18:44.760
<v Speaker 9>The same things but it's better to figure that out

0:18:44.800 --> 0:18:47.800
<v Speaker 9>now than after you've got four unathletic children who can't

0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:48.639
<v Speaker 9>do one pull up.

0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>Hey, but they could be good at theater, you know, yeah, instrument.

0:18:52.920 --> 0:18:53.520
<v Speaker 8>There you go.

0:18:53.880 --> 0:18:55.960
<v Speaker 2>Chess. Okay.

0:18:56.640 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Some people want loving, trusting partners.

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:03.320
<v Speaker 9>Other people want a Edick Bull who produces guaranteed NBA superstars.

0:19:03.760 --> 0:19:06.520
<v Speaker 4>You're allowed to want that, Brook, Let the women want

0:19:06.560 --> 0:19:07.160
<v Speaker 4>what they want.

0:19:07.359 --> 0:19:08.520
<v Speaker 2>Its weird.

0:19:08.680 --> 0:19:09.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh that's fine.

0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.159
