The only thing that 193 00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 2: I hated about that bit was not even his impromptu 194 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: spoken word. It was for him saying that he writes 195 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,320 Speaker 2: about injustices. I could tell who was reading me a 196 00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 2: poem about like the wrongs of the world as like 197 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,320 Speaker 2: what I presume was like a straight white man, and 198 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to hear your poetry 199 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 2: about the injustices. 200 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 3: Are you someone who's into romantic gestures?

I was breaking up with him, and he 205 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 2: started playing his guitar and he started playing me a 206 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: Dennis Brown song, which like a Jamaican singer, like old 207 00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: school like lovers rock singer. So I was playing the 208 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 2: song and I've just walked out the door while he 209 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 2: is singing like I am great. It makes me so 210 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:52,319 Speaker 2: uncomfortable when anybody does anything like that. I used to 211 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: have this ongoing joke with my ex boyfriend because he 212 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,160 Speaker 2: knew how much I hate that stuff. So whenever we'd 213 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: be like in a public place, he'd pretend to propose me, 214 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 2: and I'd be like, oh. 215 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 3: My god, sorry, like you're trying to break up with 216 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,600 Speaker 3: someone and they started singing to you. That actually would 217 00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 3: make me feel. 218 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: So unwall it was. It was so horrific. 219 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,040 Speaker 3: So I'm guessing if you were ever being proposed to, 220 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 3: you'd prefer to get proposed to in. 221 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:14,439 Speaker 2: Private, Yes, definitely. 222 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,679 Speaker 3: Has anyone ever proposed to you? 223 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 2: No, Oh my god, no, I would give me the 224 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,320 Speaker 2: magic if someone supposed to me.
