Speaker 3: that's really a great song. So I'm like I didn't
Speaker 3: expect to ever see them perform that live and I
Speaker 3: got to experience that. And not only did my I
Speaker 3: get to experience that, but you know, thousands of people
Speaker 3: that work in this industry got to experience the same
Speaker 3: exact thing.
Speaker 1: So, and the goal of that experience that they're providing
Speaker 1: is so people like yourself will.

Speaker 4: Like, oh hey, Brett, look up there.
Speaker 3: They're just you can talk to everybody and they and
Speaker 3: the thing is that they remember who you are too.

Speaker 3: seen like McKenzie carpenter. If you know her, she remembers
Speaker 3: the time that we first met, and we'll bring it
Speaker 3: up and I'm like, how I barely remember your last

Speaker 3: He rented a suite at the hotel and then is
Speaker 3: inviting his friends to come up to see these artists
Speaker 3: perform cocon Hookers.
Speaker 4: So I just man, and we don't get invited that
Speaker 4: for a reason.
Speaker 3: No, I can. I can show you the root, the
Speaker 3: room number and tell you how to get up there.
Speaker 3: Like today, I'm going to see like Tree lewis uh
Speaker 3: in the in this private performance in the suite. Last year,
Speaker 3: I saw Dylan Carmichael for the first time and it
Speaker 3: was just and that was like a random I walked
Speaker 3: into a hotel room by mistake and he's start playing
Speaker 3: a guitar and it was really cool because they had
Speaker 3: the National skyline the backdrop literally in front of a window.
Speaker 3: And then it was out Monday night down at Dirk's
Speaker 3: Place on on Broadway and it was whiskey jam night
Speaker 3: and they're still in Carmichael play again.
Speaker 4: I was like, I mean, it's just it's just cool.
Speaker 3: I mean, I love music, and I just and I'm
Speaker 3: appreciative of the art form of the country music.
Speaker 4: This w there's why I do this.
Speaker 8: Good cast up Little food for yourself life. Oh it's pretty,
Speaker 8: but hey, it's pretty beautiful Beula a little more than
Speaker 8: it's exciting.
Speaker 2: City.
Speaker 8: You're kicking with four Thing with Amy Brown.
Speaker 7: Hey, it's Amy Brown from four Things with Amy Brown.
Speaker 7: And here's what we talked about this week on my podcast.
Speaker 7: All right, mo, I want to talk about digital body
Speaker 7: language because that's obviously something we need to pay attention
Speaker 7: to these days, whether on social media, text messages, dating apps,
Speaker 7: and I guess even in the professional space with work emails.
Speaker 9: Right, yeah, even in emails you have digital body language,
Speaker 9: and essentially digital body language are all of the virtual
Speaker 9: cues that you send online, So that could be your
Speaker 9: reactions to messages, emojis, your response time, message consistency, punctuation,
Speaker 9: and more so. Seventy seven percent of Hinge gen z
Speaker 9: daters told us that digital body language tells them a
Speaker 9: lot about someone's intentions. So we're realizing that in this
Speaker 9: online world, digital body language is really important to people
Speaker 9: and it's telling them a lot about whether or not
Speaker 9: you're interested in them. And we're actually calling it DBL
Speaker 9: at Hinge for short, so we can say DBL moving forward.
Speaker 7: Okay, I'm trying to figure out my DVL is. I
Speaker 7: think probably very normal and occasional EMOEJ. I will say,
Speaker 7: I did interact with someone that was heavy on the emojis,
Speaker 7: and he was older. You know, I'm turning forty three,
Speaker 7: so older. I think he was like forty eight or something.
Speaker 7: And I was a little thrown off by a lot
Speaker 7: of the smiley face emojis.
Speaker 10: And it just weird me out. So you're right, maybe I.
Speaker 7: Just wasn't attracted to his DVL. But I don't want
Speaker 7: to miss out on an awesome person just because they
Speaker 7: use smiley faces a lot and it's making me uncomfortable.
Speaker 9: Yeah, well that makes me so curious about so many
Speaker 9: things when I'm wondering for him why he's using those
Speaker 9: emojis that he's using. So I often encourage people when
Speaker 9: you're feeling something like that.
Speaker 5: One.
Speaker 9: Of course, you always have to trust your intuition if
Speaker 9: you're like, this particular emoji is not giving, But really,
Speaker 9: I want you to ask the person tell me more about,
Speaker 9: like what that emoji means for you, because it really
Speaker 9: digital body language varies from person to person. These vibes
Speaker 9: that they're sending out, they could not even be aware,
Speaker 9: you know, even with like body language in real life,
Speaker 9: we are often not always aware of what we're doing,
Speaker 9: what our resting face looks like, whether or not we're
Speaker 9: seeming closed off unless someone tells us. And so it's
Speaker 9: a good opportunity if you're invested or interested to say,
Speaker 9: tell me more about these smiley face emojis and what
Speaker 9: they mean.
Speaker 7: So, how do you feel about a lot of exclamation points?
Speaker 9: I'm an exclamation point king, so I don't I use
Speaker 9: at least one.
Speaker 4: I won't use like.
Speaker 9: Three, but I definitely use them quite often. And actually,
Speaker 9: we're finding with a lot of gen Z daters that
Speaker 9: ending sentences with periods seem a little aggressive to them.
Speaker 9: So I think it really depends on the generation and
Speaker 9: who you're talking to.
Speaker 10: I don't know how a period could be aggressive. It's
Speaker 10: proper grammar.
Speaker 2: I probably have to agree.
Speaker 9: But we're finding that it's coming across as like short
Speaker 9: or like contrite, Like when you put a period, you're
Speaker 9: trying to like give sas So for their generation, it's
Speaker 9: like a totally different vibe you're sending.
Speaker 10: Okay, well, I'm not trying to date a gen Z.
Speaker 7: I'm a millennial, and I assume I would be dating
Speaker 7: another millennial if my cutoff age is like fifty. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you know what option throws me is sometimes when it's like,
Speaker 7: what are you looking for?
Speaker 10: And they're like short term?
Speaker 6: Why does it throw you?
Speaker 7: Cause I'm like, Oh, does that literally mean they're just
Speaker 7: here to hook up?
Speaker 11: Ah?
Speaker 9: Okay, yeah so I for some people, yes, And then
Speaker 9: for other people it could be that they don't know
Speaker 9: if they're going to move from that city and so
Speaker 9: they're not interested in a long distance relationships, or there's
Speaker 9: some other reason why that they're about to start a
Speaker 9: med program or they're about to go back to school
Speaker 9: and they're just like, I don't know what my life
Speaker 9: is about to be, so let's just keep this casual
Speaker 9: for now.
Speaker 7: Okay, that's interesting. I had not thought of it that way.
Speaker 7: I just anytime I see that, I'm like, Eh, you're right.
Speaker 7: It could be because they're moving and they know what
Speaker 7: their future looks like. But hey, they want to connect
Speaker 7: and meet people and get out there, which I do
Speaker 7: think it's fun to do that.
Speaker 10: I haven't done that yet. Sounds fun, And if.
Speaker 9: Your relationship intentions are different, then that's okay too. I
Speaker 9: love that you get to see that and you get
Speaker 9: to make a decision because it's ultimately your choice whether
Speaker 9: or not that is aligned with you or not.
Speaker 12: Hey, it's my d And this week on Movie Mike's
Speaker 12: Movie Podcast, my wife Kelsey and I shared what the
Speaker 12: best and worst things we've seen in the last two months.
Speaker 12: We go to every single movie together. We watch all
Speaker 12: the new streaming movies, so we shared what movies you
Speaker 12: should watch, spend your money on, and which movies you
Speaker 12: should avoid. We also got into a big discussion about
Speaker 12: nostalgia and I had a lot of comments and people
Speaker 12: reach out about this part of the segment, and so
Speaker 12: be sure to go hear this full episode. But right now,
Speaker 12: here's just a little bit of Movie Mike's Movie Podcast.
Speaker 12: All right, let's get.
Speaker 2: Right into it.
Speaker 12: Like we said earlier, January February were the dumb months
Speaker 12: of the year, meaning that studios just kind of throw
Speaker 12: crap at the wall and see what sticks. And I
Speaker 12: think this year, in particular, it's a lot of crap.
Speaker 2: It was a lot of crap.
Speaker 12: Like I know, sometimes in January we get like a
Speaker 12: horror movie that ends up being pretty good. I feel
Speaker 12: like this year so far, we've had some real bombs
Speaker 12: out there, just straight up not even the worst movies
Speaker 12: of the year, but the worst movie is in a
Speaker 12: really long time.
Speaker 6: I had to think long and hard about what was
Speaker 6: my favorite.
Speaker 12: Well, it's saying a lot when the highest grossing movie
Speaker 12: so far of the year is The Beekeeper with Jason Stathum.
Speaker 12: It's made one hundred and fifty million worldwide, which isn't
Speaker 12: that much for the highest grossing That is the highest
Speaker 12: grossing right now. If all movies were set and done today,
Speaker 12: the highest grossing movies would be The Beekeeper, Bob Marley,
Speaker 12: Mean Girls, Argyle, and Madam Webb. I just give you
Speaker 12: the landscape of movies right now. Kick it off with
Speaker 12: you first, what was the best movie we saw so
Speaker 12: far this year?
Speaker 2: For you?
Speaker 6: Like I said, I had to think long and hard.
Speaker 6: I had to re examine the list. It would be
Speaker 6: Self Reliance on Hulu, which I didn't even really want
Speaker 6: to watch.
Speaker 12: Now, I feel like people are you either loved that
Speaker 12: movie like we did, or you hate it because it's
Speaker 12: about Jake Johnson's character, who essentially is playing this dark
Speaker 12: web reality show where if he can stay alive for
Speaker 12: thirty days, he wins a million dollars.
Speaker 6: And this is also not to say I loved the movie.
Speaker 6: It just is the best out of what we've seen. See,
Speaker 6: I ended up really enjoying it. I'm just saying it's
Speaker 6: not like something that I'm like, you must go out
Speaker 6: and watch it. It is just from the list of
Speaker 6: things that we saw.
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think so far there's this year, there's not
Speaker 12: one movie that has implanted itself into my fiber of
Speaker 12: movie watching that this is a movie I highly highly recommend.
Speaker 2: Haven't got there yet.
Speaker 6: I would, I almost, but I know. We saw it
Speaker 6: on the thirtieth of December. We talked about it, but
Speaker 6: like I wish American Fiction could count except to be
Speaker 6: my favorite.
Speaker 12: We'll see how it does it the Oscars next or
Speaker 12: this weekend.
Speaker 6: I guess okay, that was my favorite. I don't really
Speaker 6: have much else to say. It was a decent, entertaining movie.
Speaker 4: See.
Speaker 12: That's probably the movie I was most excited to do
Speaker 12: a review one. And that was also the movie that
Speaker 12: a lot of people watched and told me, like, you
Speaker 12: got this one wrong, bro, I'm.
Speaker 6: More passionate about my worst film of the month.
Speaker 12: That's the other thing with streaming movies. They come out
Speaker 12: and they have about a shelf life of two weeks,
Speaker 12: maybe three if that. Because the movie is like number
Speaker 12: one for a while, people watch it, there's a little
Speaker 12: bit of buzz, a little bit of word amount, and
Speaker 12: then they're just gone. For my best of the year
Speaker 12: so far in the last two months, I'm gonna go
Speaker 12: with Sometimes I Think About Dying, which I gave a
Speaker 12: four hine to five. It was a really good movie.
Speaker 12: The more I've thought about that movie, the more I
Speaker 12: was impressed by it, And out of all the movies
Speaker 12: we've seen so far this year, it's the only movie
Speaker 12: that's made me feel anything. And I really think it's
Speaker 12: because the Daisy Ridley's amazing performance in that movie and
Speaker 12: seeing a completely different side of her, and then also
Speaker 12: that it was dealing with such a heavy subject, which
Speaker 12: her character in that movie does what the title says.
Speaker 12: She thinks about dying, but tries to have a normal life,
Speaker 12: tries to make connections with people, but struggles to do
Speaker 12: that because she's socially awkward. She's a really quiet person.
Speaker 12: But in that kind of depressing premise, it also has
Speaker 12: a lot of fun moments that we saw in a
Speaker 12: sold out theater and there was a lot of people
Speaker 12: laughing throughout the movie.
Speaker 6: I was gonna say this, socially awkward. Did you relate to.
Speaker 12: That, Oh yeah, I thought that was like exactly. I've
Speaker 12: never seen socially awkward portrayed so well in a movie
Speaker 12: that I was like, that is me, Like, that is
Speaker 12: how the struggles I have as a socially awkward person.
Speaker 12: I feel like you either watched that movie and think
Speaker 12: I know somebody in my life or that is me.
Speaker 6: I was once told by a boss that I'm socially awkward,
Speaker 6: and I was offended. All I'm an introvert, but I'll
Speaker 6: make friends in the post office. Yeah, Maybeff's with the
Speaker 6: trader Joe's cashier. Before we even leave.
Speaker 12: You were like, you can go and be very social
Speaker 12: and talk to people that you don't know, and then yes,
Speaker 12: you have your recharge moments where you're just like, I
Speaker 12: just want to go home a weekend. We don't go
Speaker 12: out anywhere, but I feel like you flourish in that
Speaker 12: social setting as well, unlike me, where I just.
Speaker 6: Like when she said that, and I was like, I
Speaker 6: think she wanted me to like flirt with someone, and
Speaker 6: I was like, I just don't like this person, Like,
Speaker 6: I don't think I'm socially awkward. I'm just picky.
Speaker 12: I don't you're not at all.
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you for reassuring me.
Speaker 12: Okay, so now we'll get into the movies. We'll be
Speaker 12: more passionate about our worst movie so far in the
Speaker 12: last sixty days.
Speaker 6: What is your worst, Madam web Yeah? What was that movie?
Speaker 2: Very pointless?
Speaker 6: It was so dumb, Like I have so many questions.
Speaker 2: Starting with keep it spoiler.
Speaker 6: Free, wtf was the plot?
Speaker 12: The plot is weird because it felt like the same
Speaker 12: thing over and over again. Of again, I won't give
Speaker 12: too much away. Even if you go see it won't
Speaker 12: really ruin.
Speaker 2: Much for you.
Speaker 12: But it's the coda Johnson's character trying to figure things
Speaker 12: out and then leaving these girls by So in the movie,
Speaker 12: she discovers that she can see into the future, and
Speaker 12: then she's connected with these three other girls, and this
Speaker 12: whole time, they're just believing everything she says and going
Speaker 12: along with it, not questioning anything. And she's like, all right,
Speaker 12: you guys, wait here, I'm going to go research some stuff.
Speaker 12: Leave them there. And then later she's like, okay, I'm
Speaker 12: going to go do this now, I'm going to leave
Speaker 12: you here, and it just kept happening over and over.
Speaker 12: It didn't feel like a superhero movie to me, because
Speaker 12: really nothing heroic happened in the movie. There was no
Speaker 12: qualities of her character that had anything superhero related. It
Speaker 12: was really just her running around the city doing normal things.
Speaker 12: And then it had the worst villain of all time
Speaker 12: and just the movie that completely was like, what are
Speaker 12: we watching the entire time?
Speaker 6: Listen, no one has done having visions telling the future
Speaker 6: quite like, that's so raven.
Speaker 2: They should have just made it.
Speaker 6: That's a raven superhero movie. Would one have been better?
Speaker 6: That's all I have to say about Madam Webb. As
Speaker 6: my little brother would say, it was trash carne.
Speaker 2: She's a queen and talking, so.
Speaker 8: She's getting not.
Speaker 2: Afraid to fing so so just let it flow. No
Speaker 2: one can do we quiet.
Speaker 8: Line is sound from Caroline.
Speaker 13: Hey, y'all, it's Caroline Hobby from Get Real with Caroline Hobby.
Speaker 13: And here is a clip from this week's episode.
Speaker 14: Did you always want to marry Russell?
Speaker 2: No?
Speaker 14: We were friends for like two years. I had no
Speaker 14: idea that I even liked him.
Speaker 13: And he was kind of I don't know if emo's
Speaker 13: the word back then, but wasn't he a little more
Speaker 13: like hunk yes, or like got the straight.
Speaker 14: Yes, yes, yes, here's a scene kid, A little more
Speaker 14: scene kid, yeah, scene scene seeing kids seen he screamed
Speaker 14: in a metal band at one point. Yeah.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 14: But he grew up in like Cornfield Town, Tennessee, and
Speaker 14: then moved to Nashville when he was ten. And so
Speaker 14: when he moved to Nashville is when he like he
Speaker 14: grew up on like country country, and he grew up country,
Speaker 14: and then moving to Nashville, interestingly enough, was when it
Speaker 14: was like the big city where he was exposed to
Speaker 14: like Blink one eighty two and which everyone thinks country music,
Speaker 14: but that's where he learned like pop music was in Nashville.
Speaker 13: He grew up country, like in the middle of real country,
Speaker 13: and he's like, oh, I got it.
Speaker 14: Now, there's a whole new world right here. But then
Speaker 14: when he started writing songs, country came out because it
Speaker 14: was deep rooted enough. But dude, there's some scene kid
Speaker 14: in there. You can hear it every see s C
Speaker 14: scene scene scene, like what was that, like the national scene? Oh,
Speaker 14: thene scene. I don't know. I don't I don't honestly,
Speaker 14: I don't know. That's a rustle question. I don't know.
Speaker 14: But yeah, so he then we would. I was a
Speaker 14: missions photographer fresh out of college and mission trips. Mission
Speaker 14: trips we went to like the UK, we went to Africa,
Speaker 14: we went to Was that life changing for you? Oh yeah?
Speaker 14: With all the kids, different kids. Sometimes it was like
Speaker 14: leading worship for youth groups. It was all different kinds
Speaker 14: of things. There was one that was in Israel and
Speaker 14: it was all these like Bible teachers and Russell and
Speaker 14: our friends were leading worship for the Universal Bible teachers. Yeah,
Speaker 14: he would go up on a lot of them because
Speaker 14: they were friends worship based. We were dating by then.
Speaker 14: Uh oh oh, But then people would I'm the same thing.
Speaker 14: The guy in the front of the church was like
Speaker 14: preaching a whole sermon.
Speaker 13: And then was like you in the middle, yes, the sermon.
Speaker 14: It was like stand up and it was Russell, stop
Speaker 14: dead serious, and he was like you are called to
Speaker 14: the masses. And he was like you are going to
Speaker 14: be on stage in front of millions of people again, yes,
Speaker 14: same thing, And he was like you're on the fast track,
Speaker 14: which that was a lot slower than we thought it
Speaker 14: was going to be.
Speaker 13: But fast, Okay, great, right, awesome, let's go.
Speaker 14: But like all these things that gave us enough hope, really,
Speaker 14: And then after that service, a little old man prayed
Speaker 14: for me and started telling me things like from my past.
Speaker 14: He was like, did this, this and this happen. I
Speaker 14: was like, yes, yes, and yes. And he was like
Speaker 14: God wants to like he doesn't want to just put
Speaker 14: band aids on old wounds. He wants to make you
Speaker 14: brand new. And I was like, okay, I received that.
Speaker 14: And so he prayed for me and he was like
Speaker 14: this marriage, He's like, this man you're with, this marriage
Speaker 14: is going to show the world the father's love for
Speaker 14: his people, and this marriage is gonna heal marriages.
Speaker 13: And I was like, wait, I could have past for
Speaker 13: a second, because I feel that with the All's marriage,
Speaker 13: I do feel that.
Speaker 14: Like that's so that crazy thing that was in like
Speaker 14: twenty ten. Maybe it was a long time ago. We've
Speaker 14: been married ten years. We were dating, we'd been dating
Speaker 14: maybe a year and a half at the time. I
Speaker 14: don't know, so it was a while ago. Who made
Speaker 14: the move first? Him? Are you because you were friends?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 14: Well, it was like the Thompson Square, Thompson Station, Tomas
Speaker 14: you Gun. They just put it's that song.
Speaker 8: Did you hear that one?
Speaker 11: Go in.
Speaker 14: Uh huh, that is weird, because it is weird. I
Speaker 14: was literally always mess up their name Thompson Square. I
Speaker 14: was walking to the parking garage to let you in,
Speaker 14: and that song are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not?
Speaker 14: Came on and I thought to.
Speaker 10: Myself, Man, I haven't heard this song in a long time.
Speaker 14: Yeah, and it was being this up okay, but it
Speaker 14: was before that song even came out. And we were
Speaker 14: at a graduation party on the side of this graduation
Speaker 14: party and both had a little bit of liquid ridge
Speaker 14: and we were sitting there and I was giving him
Speaker 14: every sign ever because you were feeling it. Yeah, I
Speaker 14: was like, I just like him? Why do I like
Speaker 14: him around all the time? Like I left one party
Speaker 14: with a friend and I was like, we have to
Speaker 14: go get Russell from this other party and bring him
Speaker 14: over here and need his I just like need him here. Yeah,
Speaker 14: And I like I still was oblivious truly at this point.
Speaker 14: You just knew you loved being around I loved being
Speaker 14: around him and I So we were at this graduation
Speaker 14: party and I looked at him and I was like, so,
Speaker 14: are you going to kiss me or not? Thompson Square,
Speaker 14: there's your there's your there's your like you're welcome. It's
Speaker 14: a massive hit. And he looked at me, Oh my gosh,
Speaker 14: this is not a favorable Russell Dicker said, sorry, and
Speaker 14: you cannot wait get out of his well. He goes, well,
Speaker 14: I've never made the first move. Yeah, I know, gross, right,
Speaker 14: I'm sorry.
Speaker 8: Women flopped, they throw themselves at you.
Speaker 14: Well this question, yeah, I was like, not this one.
Speaker 14: He said, I've never never made the first move. And
Speaker 14: I was like, well, then this is never going to happen.
Speaker 14: And then he grabbed me and kissed me so that
Speaker 14: it like turned out very cute, but it was like
Speaker 14: an at first.
Speaker 8: Oh my god.
Speaker 14: I was like, you if you don't want to kiss
Speaker 14: you honestly? Oh but yeah, so he made the first move.
Speaker 14: But then we almost broke up because he uh wasn't
Speaker 14: saying I love you, because you know, didn't ever make
Speaker 14: the first move. Like everyone always initiated and like pursued him.
Speaker 14: He have like older siblings or older sister or something,
Speaker 14: younger sister. He's the oldest, he's the oldest. Was he
Speaker 14: taking Did a mom take a lot of care of him?
Speaker 14: Let's break this down.
Speaker 6: Never?
Speaker 14: No, I mean yes, his mom was wonderful, but I
Speaker 14: he just never felt like he needed to make it urt. No, No,
Speaker 14: he was just not in a rush. He also was like,
Speaker 14: I'm not getting married till I'm thirty. Did it? I
Speaker 14: was like, well, you let me know who she is
Speaker 14: because it ain't going to be.
Speaker 8: Me and old.
Speaker 14: We started dating, I was twenty one, okay, you're like,
Speaker 14: I'm gonna wait nine years. Dude, No, dude, no, and
Speaker 14: like we were living together all that stuff. I was like, listen,
Speaker 14: I'm not called to be a nun. So you figure
Speaker 14: out who she is because I'm not waiting untill thirty.
Speaker 14: That's not happening. And so we eventually, like after all
Speaker 14: these missions trips, people kept telling him like, we walked
Speaker 14: into a food court and this guy, this guy's so bizarre.
Speaker 14: The guy who's serving food in the food court like
Speaker 14: had like stepped out. We were in Israel. He said,
Speaker 14: you two, you're gonna come back married with children, and
Speaker 14: we're like what. And Russ was like, what is going on?
Speaker 14: Because everyone just kept saying stuff like that, and so
Speaker 14: eventually he got the message. It was couldn't have been
Speaker 14: louder or clearer, but he eventually got there and I knew.
Speaker 14: I knew, and I put pressure on him at one
Speaker 14: point because we broke up because he wasn't saying I
Speaker 14: love you. Oh nope, nope. I almost broke up with him,
Speaker 14: and then I had this crazy god experience that I
Speaker 14: didn't break up with him. So when he broke up
Speaker 14: with me, like a month later, can you tell us
Speaker 14: the experience? Yeah, this is it's still so bizarre. I've
Speaker 14: told it on lots of podcasts, but it's like I
Speaker 14: was laying in my bed. I left his house because
Speaker 14: his roommate had told his girlfriend of like two weeks
Speaker 14: he loved her, and I was like, get me out
Speaker 14: of here. And we're together for like ten months. Yeah,
Speaker 14: I was like, come, so we've been friends for two
Speaker 14: years too, So.
Speaker 8: No, you love me?
Speaker 14: Yes, dude. I was like, I know you love me.
Speaker 14: I know you well enough. I know you love me,
Speaker 14: but you don't have the guts to say it, and
Speaker 14: that's unattractive to me. And I was like, if you
Speaker 14: can't say this, like what hard things are you going
Speaker 14: to be able to do in life?
Speaker 13: Okay, let's break this down like men, thank you and
Speaker 13: men again.
Speaker 14: I don't know why, I'm just so be doing I'm.
Speaker 13: In church here, okay, h yeah.
Speaker 14: So I left and I was like, I have to
Speaker 14: get out of here before I burst into tears because
Speaker 14: I'm a three and I can't let you see my weakness.
Speaker 14: And I told you this in the car on the
Speaker 14: phone the other day. This morning, yes, I was like,
Speaker 14: I will not show weakness. I will not cry in
Speaker 14: front of you. I need to get out of here.
Speaker 14: And I drove home. I was like, please don't let
Speaker 14: my roommates be awake. I don't want to talk about
Speaker 14: my feelings because I have all brothers, so I would
Speaker 14: just like, go in my room, deal with my feelings.
Speaker 14: Wake up the next morning, brand new day, brandly. Yeah,
Speaker 14: you're good at just like I'm moving forward. I don't
Speaker 14: know if it's great. Sometimes it's squashed and buried and
Speaker 14: shows itself in resentment, you know. But I got home,
Speaker 14: got in my bed, sobbing, and I was like, I
Speaker 14: can't do this. I felt like I had all these
Speaker 14: little breadcrumbs along the way of like this is it,
Speaker 14: like this is the way walk in it and I
Speaker 14: was like, okay, it's russelly yes. And my prayer was
Speaker 14: always God, if this isn't your best for me. I
Speaker 14: don't want it. Just take it, take whoever it is.
Speaker 14: I was my prayer every guy dated before him, great prayer.
Speaker 14: It worked, isn't your prayer? I effective prayer? And so
Speaker 14: when we were dating, I was like, God, I'm serious,
Speaker 14: Like I really love him, but I just want your
Speaker 14: best for me. If it's better than this, I cannot
Speaker 14: fathom what that looks like. But sure, I'm open. And
Speaker 14: I got in my bed and I was bawling, bawling, crying,
Speaker 14: and I was like, if you want me to be
Speaker 14: with him, you're gonna have to fill me with joy
Speaker 14: right now.
Speaker 2: Let's do alive.
Speaker 11: Oh the w You're very all losers.
Speaker 2: What up? Everybody?
Speaker 11: I am lunchbox. I know the most about sports, so
Speaker 11: I'll give me the sports facts, my sports opinions because
Speaker 11: I'm pretty much Jay sports genius.

Speaker 5: fence at the apartment complex. Soon I'm gonna have two
Speaker 5: point five kids, and yes, sadly, I will die of
Speaker 5: a heart attack when I'm seventy two years old.

Speaker 11: I saw a story in the news this week about
Speaker 11: a dude that got bit on the balls by a scorpion.
Speaker 2: I think he was at the Venetian.
Speaker 4: That's not good for business, so they gave him free room.
Speaker 2: Here you go, ice your balls.
Speaker 11: And this one's not a great story, but I mean
Speaker 11: I was there with a tall guy that loves Connor McGregor.
Speaker 2: Perfect explanation. I know exactly who you're talking.
Speaker 11: Played on my soccer team, my volleyball team. He walked
Speaker 11: home drunk from Broadway. Yeah, just so we can see
Speaker 11: Connor McGregor fight because we all laugh. Dude, we laughed
Speaker 11: so hard that night.

Speaker 11: out of a room. I'm like, where did the mattress go?
Speaker 11: But that's good. That tells you they're clean the mattresses.
Speaker 11: That's just a small slip up and oversighted.
Speaker 4: But the bed was made right.
Speaker 15: I mean, the one lady that makes the bed, she
Speaker 15: doesn't check for mattresses.
Speaker 11: Her jobs mat it down and field that there's wood.
Speaker 2: Her job is to make the bed. She said, fet

Speaker 11: on my bed. And then well, what do you mean
Speaker 11: there's no mattress. Well, see, I've been in the bed
Speaker 11: and it's just plywood. What like, what do you mean
Speaker 11: there's like you took the mattress off the bed. No.
Speaker 15: Well, the lady in the background too, that's fielding your call.
Speaker 15: You can hear the club music. She can barely hear you.
Speaker 11: She can barely hear me. She thinks she can hear that.
Speaker 11: I'm drunk, and I'm like, I need someone to bring
Speaker 11: me a mattress.
Speaker 15: Sir, did you lose gambling tonight?
Speaker 14: Per chance?
