1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Hey there everyone. I'm Eli and I'm Diana. A few

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: years ago we got married, but it's not our story

3
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,160
Speaker 1: that we're here to share. We're hosting our new podcast,

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:11,080
Speaker 1: Ridiculous Romance, because we know just as well as anyone

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:14,640
Speaker 1: that love stories aren't always the sappy, heart filled, bodice

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: ripping tails you're used to hearing. Sometimes they're spooky. Betty

7
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 1: started having all these terrible nightmares with these gray creatures.

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:25,799
Speaker 1: Take them award a ship and I've been there, Betty, Well,

9
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've had this one. She had

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: a needle inserted into her stomach. Okay, and she said

11
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: the alien being told her it was a pregnancy test. Okay?

12
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: Do they know that we have better ways of doing it?

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: Others are exciting. So Steve Martin is on the panel

14
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 1: of the Dating Game, one of three contestants. The other

15
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: two are total goobers. Fortunately for him and Dina, Martin

16
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: ends up picking him as the winner and together they

17
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: go to Portofino, Italy. Yeah. In interview, she kept saying

18
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: it was the fabulous, magical time, but it was, and

19
00:00:57,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: apparently they were also superspot as while they were there.

20
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 1: Some stories are a little unexpected. She did build a

21
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: model of the Berlin Wall that she sleeps with, complete

22
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: with barbed wire. Can't you just take it the barbed

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: wire off? You have to accept your lover as they come.

24
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: That's fine. But if you had barbed wire on your

25
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: head before we went to bed every night, I'd say, hey,

26
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,800
Speaker 1: do you mind taking the barbed wire off? I think

27
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: that'd be pretty nice to me. I mean, like, I

28
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: love every part of you. Of course, it's bedtime, Berlin Wall,

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: no barbed wire, barbed wire in the band. That's not

30
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: to say there aren't beautiful tales of love Everlasting and

31
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: Shaw Hussein and Motto Law. Their relationship is still celebrated

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,680
Speaker 1: today in a three day festival. I mean, it sounds

33
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: like a lot of fun. I want to go. They're

34
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: saying two religions can come together, hang out, party, chill

35
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,479
Speaker 1: and have a good time because these two men fell

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: in love, that's right, and lived in harmony for years.

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Love stories are always complicated. Some are just to cut

38
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: above the rest. So Lorna Bobbitt is speeding away from

39
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: the house and she throws it out her window and

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: it lands in a parking lot behind a seven eleven

41
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: where police find it and they pack it in a

42
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: hot dog box full of ice. Appropriate that's called it

43
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: was called a big bite box. Oh I know, He's like,

44
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 1: can I keep that box? It basically defined his whole life.

45
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: So yeah, he probably does still have that box today.

46
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: And a man really went out. He made every bad

47
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: decision that you could make. He's three bad decisions in

48
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 1: a trench coat. Throughout time and across the globe, from

49
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: the Stone age to the digital age, people have been

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:35,399
Speaker 1: having weird, wonderful, and downright absurd relationships and we're here

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: to cover them all. Silly, strange, stupid, you name it.

52
