Hello and welcome to to The Glee Everything,

1:08

a podcast about everything. I am

1:10

one of your one of your hosts, Tom. And

1:12

I'm Tim. Tim, how are you doing this week?

1:17

I'm not feeling so hot. I don't

1:19

think you're feeling so hot. And I

1:21

just want to point out. You know

1:23

I'm not feeling so hot. Why are

1:26

you saying I think you're not? Well,

1:28

I don't want to speak for you,

1:30

Tom. That's not a nice thing to

1:32

do. You know that there are no

1:34

secrets between me and the listeners and

1:36

that I fully intend on informing

1:39

them that I am under

1:41

the weather. You have the

1:43

flu for Christ's. Do you

1:46

know that you have the

1:48

flu? No, but that's certainly

1:50

what it feels like. Like

1:53

initially it felt like a

1:55

cold, but then just very

1:57

achy and like I didn't.

2:00

need for a couple of days like

2:02

you know felt nauseous that kind of

2:04

thing. That stinks Tom and here you

2:06

are talking into a microphone we're not

2:08

in the same room now but in

2:10

the very next room for me is

2:13

a toddler my son is sick so

2:15

here we are a couple guys it's

2:17

a Friday freaking night yeah what are

2:19

we doing we should be sleeping yeah

2:21

hey this isn't this isn't the idea

2:23

I had in mind when I said

2:25

I'd like to have a sick Friday

2:28

Hey, yeah, I was talking about

2:30

being stoked for a Rager

2:33

when I said I wanted it

2:35

to be sick Exactly

2:37

Yeah, that's what I meant

2:39

Really really good addition to

2:41

my joke. I was trying

2:43

I was trying to think

2:45

of other like sick things

2:48

that I could say you

2:50

know, but I couldn't think

2:52

any it's an olive I'm

2:54

not feeling so hot. So

2:56

you said, well you didn't

2:58

say, you said your son's

3:00

sick, but that you are

3:02

also sick or? I'm starting to

3:05

feel it, you know what I

3:07

mean? Oh yeah, that's what

3:09

happened to me in the

3:11

beginning. Yeah, you mentioned that

3:14

earlier. But you know, a thing

3:16

that you learned to do. When

3:18

you when you have a toddler and

3:20

they get sick, it's like well, I'm

3:22

like I should get my rest in

3:24

now because You know, I'm gonna get

3:27

it and you know have to take

3:29

care of that kid Yeah, yeah, but

3:31

not me Tom we're podcast. We're we're

3:33

podcasting through it right now. Yeah Yeah,

3:36

because we're professionals we're professionals

3:38

and there's two things Tom

3:40

This is a very important

3:43

week. It's a romantic week.

3:45

Everybody expects us to come

3:47

out with a really romantic

3:50

episode so everybody can get

3:52

hot and bothered ahead of

3:54

their Valentine's Day date night.

3:56

Yeah, we don't want to be

3:58

accused of giving. but he

4:00

blew balls waiting for

4:03

romantic episodes. And this is

4:05

a thing. Romantic episodes. Sounds

4:07

like something I could get

4:10

us both in trouble with

4:12

our wives. Do you think,

4:14

I think like probably most

4:16

of our listeners right now

4:18

are listening. It's our

4:20

listener and their significant other. They

4:23

have this on in the stereo

4:25

in their home. It's never too

4:27

listeners. And it's, no, no, exactly.

4:30

And they're both getting ready for

4:32

their big Valentine's Day night. And

4:34

they're just listening to this and

4:37

being like, ooh, I'm getting, this

4:39

is really getting my juices flowing.

4:41

These two men are talking about

4:43

a romantic topic. This week, it's

4:46

about marriage proposals, right? We'll get to

4:48

that in a second. But I

4:50

like to think like, you

4:52

know, the man is straightening

4:55

his tie and the lady's

4:57

got her or, you know,

5:00

look, if that's a heterosexual

5:02

couple, sorry. Or two ladies

5:04

with, what are I going

5:07

to say, curl, curlers in

5:09

their hair? Right. They of

5:11

course, they still have curlers

5:13

in their hair. Yeah. So

5:15

that's how they have a.

5:18

Curly hair. Yeah. Yeah. It's

5:20

probably how they're listening. Also,

5:22

Tom, I had a question.

5:24

I had a hypothetical. The

5:26

ones that have curly hair,

5:28

they use straighteners when they're getting

5:30

greedy. Yeah. Um, the grass is

5:32

always green or on the other

5:34

side. I don't like hair

5:37

straighteners. They're too hot.

5:39

I don't personally use them. I'm

5:41

surprised to hear that you do,

5:43

but, uh... No, my wife does and sometimes

5:45

I go in, you know, into

5:47

the bed. Or, you know, like,

5:49

it's even unplugged. Yeah. Just like,

5:51

it's still hot. It's still hot.

5:54

I don't like it. I don't like

5:56

things that hot in my home. Yeah,

5:58

it's true because like... Where are you

6:01

even supposed to put that down?

6:03

You can't really, right? What do you

6:05

do? Do you hire in a shirt ever,

6:07

Tom? Yeah. What do you do with

6:09

iron when you're done? Oh, um...

6:11

You just leave it there? Usually

6:13

I put it on my kitchen

6:15

counter for a while before I'll put

6:18

it back in the closet. Yeah, I

6:20

do that too. But I'm also like,

6:22

I had to make sure everyone in the

6:24

house knows, like, there's a hot thing, there's

6:26

a hot thing over here, stay away from

6:29

the counter. And I guess, like, I should

6:31

definitely tell that to a three year old,

6:33

but I don't need to tell that to

6:35

my wife. Right, she's to see that, yeah.

6:37

She's aware of what irons are, how they're

6:40

used, which way you should grab it. Yeah.

6:42

But I don't know how there's

6:44

a concern she's gonna like fall

6:46

into it or something I guess

6:49

I don't have to be and

6:51

she's rarely falling into

6:53

anything hot or cold

6:56

Right Yeah I yeah I'm

6:58

unnaturally afraid of like my just

7:00

something catching on fire just

7:03

something not being attended being

7:05

left like unattended and then

7:08

somehow catching and like I

7:10

don't think an iron that's

7:12

not plugged in could do

7:15

that I'm sure it like

7:17

rapidly loses temperature.

7:19

Yeah I think I'm just haunted by

7:22

who's the boss episode I saw in

7:24

1989 where you know he left the

7:26

the iron down on a shirt and

7:28

I think it did start. Oh well

7:31

if you left it on a shirt

7:33

and it was plugged in yeah. Who

7:35

did that? You know? Tony. Tony

7:38

did it? Yeah. Jesus Christ,

7:40

he's supposed to be a

7:42

professional. Maybe it was Angela.

7:45

Well, Tony, the, so Tony dancer

7:47

and like the whole, the whole,

7:49

the whole premise of that show, the

7:52

imaginary couple that you were talking

7:54

about listening to the show right

7:57

now, it's like, oh, here we

7:59

go. So Tony Danza just shows

8:01

up on Angela's doorstep? Like they

8:04

don't know each other, right? That's

8:06

what the intro to the show

8:08

led us to believe. Yeah, and

8:11

I don't, I don't, I never

8:13

saw the pilot. I don't know

8:15

if it's the kind of thing

8:17

where it was explained, like it

8:20

actually did play out in the

8:22

pilot, or if, or if it's

8:24

just a, nah, it's just like

8:27

Mr. Belvedear. it's explained through the

8:29

intro and the explanation is basically

8:31

this family decided to let a

8:34

stranger live in their house in

8:36

exchange for that person being their

8:38

servant. Right, yeah, exactly. And I

8:41

just don't understand. I don't think

8:43

Tony Dan's I had housekeeping experience

8:45

in the backstory of that show,

8:47

right? It was just like... Yeah,

8:50

learn how to do it. How

8:52

hard could it be? Yeah, he

8:54

was just like he's a he

8:57

was like down on his luck

8:59

maybe. I think he was like

9:01

a cleaner maybe like because he

9:04

had the van. I thought he

9:06

was he was like a mechanic.

9:08

I thought he was a baseball

9:11

player but that's just because he

9:13

was playing baseball and he remember

9:15

he slides headfirst into home plate

9:18

in the opening credits. Oh yeah

9:20

yeah I could see that being

9:22

part of his backstory they played

9:24

like AAA ball or something like

9:27

that. Yeah no way of knowing

9:29

I just thought I you know

9:31

it just seems like an odd

9:34

premise like why would you have

9:36

that and then there was all

9:38

the sexual tension in the house

9:41

because the resulting from from their

9:43

decisions. Yeah. They're sure it was.

9:45

Did they get together in the

9:48

end? I think they do get

9:50

together in the end. Yeah, that

9:52

Mona was really pushing for it.

9:55

I think it's even, I think

9:57

it was one of those shows

9:59

too where like they got together,

10:01

you know, like four seasons before

10:04

the end and there were multiple

10:06

seasons where maybe not four seasons,

10:08

but like two seasons where they're

10:11

married and the show. loses it

10:13

sparkle should sparkle should we just

10:15

turn this show into a who's

10:18

the boss rewatch oh I thought

10:20

you were gonna say who's the

10:22

boss reboot every week one of

10:25

us goes to the other one's

10:27

house like clean clean and get

10:29

into hilarious misunderstandings with you know

10:31

a horny mother-in-law you could cut

10:34

with a knife Yeah, a horny

10:36

old mother-in-law. Yeah. She was, uh...

10:38

The kids were just annoying, right?

10:41

Is that what their personalities were?

10:43

I don't remember what their deals

10:45

were. It was Lisa Milano and

10:48

Danny Pintoro. Yeah. Let's see if

10:50

we could do the rest of

10:52

the cast. Catherine Helmand as... Wow.

10:55

Tony Dante. What was Angela's name,

10:57

though? Jude of light. Yes. Come

10:59

on, what is Angela's name? Yeah,

11:02

this is an all-star cast, Tom.

11:04

Tony Dan's name was like Tony

11:06

Banta or something? I think that

11:08

was his name on Taxi. Oh,

11:11

okay. But it was Tony something.

11:13

Yeah, yeah, a guy who could

11:15

not act unless he used his

11:18

real name. Tony Dan's, it seems

11:20

like a nice guy. Tell him,

11:22

what are we doing? Why are

11:25

we doing this? Because it's Valentine's

11:27

Day Week, Tim? You know what

11:29

else it is? It's the big

11:32

game and I had a question

11:34

before we get into the steamy

11:36

stuff. Yeah, yeah. Here's something for

11:38

the boys. For the boys. So

11:41

this Sunday is the big, the

11:43

Super Bowl. Are we allowed to

11:45

say that? I'm giving you your

11:48

chance to do the, your annual

11:50

joke of we're legally not allowed

11:52

to call it the Super Bowl.

11:55

No, I was thinking actually this

11:57

year we should just say that

11:59

we're the official podcast of Super

12:02

Bowl, was it 55, something like

12:04

that? I think of 59. 59.

12:06

I was reading that in the

12:09

newspaper earlier. Yeah. We'll add. We'll

12:11

add the seal and everything to

12:13

the artwork this week. Who's gonna

12:15

stop us? The commissioner? Roger Giddell?

12:18

He's gonna come to us and

12:20

say, hey, do you guys get

12:22

that written permission we talked about

12:25

in the beginning of the broadcast?

12:27

I'll say, yeah, we did. Yeah,

12:29

we did. Yeah, it's right here.

12:32

And guess what, it'll just be

12:34

forged. You can just get JackGBT

12:36

to spit something out. It'll be

12:39

anything. He's not gonna read it.

12:41

He's not going to read. Yeah.

12:43

All right. All's in order. I

12:46

did my due diligence. And that's

12:48

why he's the commissioner. I was,

12:50

Tom, hypothetically, and this is not,

12:52

I repeat, this is not an

12:55

invitation. Okay. If I said, if

12:57

I said to you, Tom, we're

12:59

having some folks over for the

13:02

big game on Sunday. Do you

13:04

want to come over? I'm making

13:06

some appetizers. Would you come over?

13:09

As long as I felt confident

13:11

that I would not get anybody

13:13

sick that I felt right good

13:16

Yeah, yeah, and I'm not gonna

13:18

do this mostly because my my

13:20

house it holds it's becoming sick

13:22

But um I was gonna and

13:25

then I was like I don't

13:27

know if I don't think people

13:29

want that from me. I don't

13:32

think my non-football friends want a

13:34

non-football fan friend inviting them over

13:36

to their apartment on a Sunday

13:39

evening. Nah, I mean, it's people

13:41

like an excuse to hang out,

13:43

you know, and watch commercials together.

13:46

Yeah, you see, all commercials are

13:48

out already? Yeah, they, they err,

13:50

and like some of the commercials

13:53

have changed already, because of like

13:55

problems, because of woke. because of

13:57

woke. No, there was like a

13:59

Google AI commercial that of course

14:02

had fucking wrong information in it

14:04

that they had to change. I

14:06

feel like maybe there was one

14:09

commercial that like in the time

14:11

since it came out like the

14:13

allegations have come out about somebody

14:16

so they edited them out of

14:18

the commercial. Tom you're not going

14:20

to believe I have word that

14:23

some of the cast from a

14:25

beloved film or TV show. What?

14:27

We'll be recreating some piece of

14:29

their film and TV show, but

14:32

in a different context. Oh, man.

14:34

Well, that's certainly going to recapture

14:36

the magic. It is. And it'll

14:39

be surprising, too. We're not going

14:41

to expect anything like that. Yeah.

14:43

I mean, hey, whatever happened to

14:46

the Budweiser frogs, man, bring those

14:48

guys back. What happened to the

14:50

What's up, guys? Yeah. Enough with

14:53

the, like... I mean all these

14:55

like celebrity endorsements on things I

14:57

think especially maybe because I feel

15:00

like I somewhat frequently see ads

15:02

that have like fraudulent endorsements because

15:04

social media is just like there

15:06

are no rules anymore. Yeah it's

15:09

just to put a picture of

15:11

Taylor Swift in like a makeup

15:13

ad. Yeah and she she orders

15:16

her makeup from Timu from this

15:18

place from this drop shipper. But

15:20

uh, so I don't know, like

15:23

I'm never, I never see a

15:25

commercial nowadays. I'm like, oh my

15:27

God, I can't believe it. You

15:30

got Snoop Dog? Holy cow! Like,

15:32

yeah, I'm not impressed. Yeah, hey,

15:34

you hear that Madison Avenue? We're

15:36

not impressed. Yeah, why don't you

15:39

lay off the three martini lunches

15:41

and try and come up with

15:43

some new ideas? Yeah, come up

15:46

with some new frogs saying the

15:48

saying the brand name in a

15:50

funny way or even just bring

15:53

back the same old frogs and

15:55

have them say the brand name

15:57

in a funny time I got

16:00

bad news those frogs long dead.

16:02

What? Yeah. I mean, frogs, they

16:04

don't live that long and those

16:07

frogs are all heavy drinkers. You

16:09

don't know that. Well, I mean,

16:11

the drinking bar, you might know.

16:13

But, uh, yeah. Frog, because sometimes

16:16

turtles live very long. Turtles do,

16:18

Tom, but I just happen to

16:20

know. And frogs can, but those

16:23

were just particularly elderly frogs. Oh,

16:25

they were already very old? Yeah,

16:27

they were, they're, those, you've seen

16:30

those frogs in many, many Hollywood

16:32

productions. Oh, that's why I liked

16:34

it so much. I recognized those

16:37

frogs. is

looks like he's 50 yep

21:02

yeah people were I don't

21:04

know was it all the

21:06

smoking was it the that

21:08

everybody smoked like three packs

21:10

of cigarettes a day yeah

21:12

probably yeah the smoking and

21:14

drinking you know mm-hmm the

21:16

hard-living living no and nobody

21:18

nobody took care of themselves.

21:20

Nobody knew how to take

21:22

care of themselves. That's true.

21:24

Well, we're gonna we're gonna

21:26

get a healthy again, Tom.

21:28

But in the meantime, let's

21:30

say you've been courting your

21:32

S-O for a while and

21:34

you want to take it

21:37

to the next level. You

21:39

want a paper from the

21:41

government telling everybody, hey, these

21:43

folks are... An item. For

21:45

good. Recognized by the state.

21:47

Well then you're going to

21:49

need to propose marriage. Or

21:51

be proposed too. Yeah, it's

21:53

so obvious even the state

21:55

knows. Yeah. It's something you're

21:57

hearing about more and more

21:59

these days. Is it though?

22:01

I guess so, I don't

22:03

know. Right, because of social

22:05

media. Like you hear about

22:07

people's marriage proposals? Yeah, sure,

22:09

I guess. Are you talking

22:11

about like people you know

22:13

or strangers? All of the

22:15

above. Oh, okay. We're going

22:17

to hit it all this

22:19

week, Tom. Yeah. That is

22:21

that is the thing that

22:23

like, you know, before social

22:25

media when people got engaged,

22:27

yeah, you heard about it

22:29

through word of mouth or

22:31

whatever. Yeah. Yeah, but now

22:33

with social media, it's like,

22:35

well, you're expected to like

22:37

announce something there. So then

22:40

everybody knows. It's funny. When

22:42

you think about and I

22:44

understand why this has to

22:46

be done. Look anything I

22:48

say I'm not even there's

22:50

I'm not I'm not judging

22:52

anything anybody's ever done But

22:54

also like we got a

22:56

we got a we got

22:58

a laugh at ourselves, right?

23:00

Yes Sure that you're completely

23:02

off the hook now Tim

23:04

who could possibly get upset

23:06

at what you at what

23:08

you're planning on saying? No,

23:10

no, because it's not all

23:12

that bad. I think it's

23:14

just weird as civilians right

23:16

as people who are just

23:18

like you know normal people

23:20

like people have like a

23:22

PR strategy for like rolling

23:24

out announcements of developments in

23:26

their personal life where it's

23:28

like I'm telling you this

23:30

but this is embargoed until

23:32

the 16th when I'm going

23:34

to post it publicly on

23:36

my Instagram. Yeah I needed

23:38

to actually sign this paper

23:40

real quick. But like it

23:42

is like, you know, like

23:45

people, you had to have

23:47

that conversation, right? Like, or

23:49

like, or when you like

23:51

see a couple, like, announce

23:53

their engagement. like they posted

23:55

at the same time on

23:57

the same day or whatever

23:59

and like they curate the

24:01

pictures together. It's like, come

24:03

on guys, no, nobody cares.

24:05

Nobody really cares about your

24:07

life. Well, I don't, that

24:09

seems a little harsh. I

24:11

mean, no, I was gonna

24:13

say that like I know,

24:15

I forget the specifics of

24:17

it, but like when I

24:19

got engaged, there was like

24:21

something with. Yeah, like somebody,

24:23

some family member posting something

24:25

on like Facebook before we

24:27

had like told everybody, but

24:29

it was, but it was

24:31

also like, ah, we'd already

24:33

like told the, you know,

24:35

people close to us that

24:37

we wanted to, so it

24:39

was fine. Well, that's how

24:41

I found out, Tom. It's

24:43

not how you found out,

24:45

Tim. You don't even know

24:47

this person, so. Yeah, actually,

24:50

I still don't know if

24:52

you got engaged or not.

24:54

We I mean you do

24:56

know that and and then

24:58

you know that I got

25:00

married after that Yeah, I

25:02

found out about that Facebook

25:04

too You didn't find out

25:06

about that through Facebook Tim

25:08

you were there only be

25:10

in your only there because

25:12

you said If I don't

25:14

see with my own eyes,

25:16

I'm never gonna believe it.

25:18

It's true Somebody finally tamed

25:20

Tom Reynolds. This I gotta

25:22

see with my own two

25:24

eyes. Yeah, every time the

25:26

wedding came up you would

25:28

roll your eyes and go,

25:30

yeah, right. I was talking

25:32

to other people about it.

25:34

You know, they were asking

25:36

me questions about it. You

25:38

would interrupt and go, guys,

25:40

guys, please don't waste your

25:42

time. This is Tom we're

25:44

talking about. He's lying to

25:46

everybody. So, you got

25:49

me, I had to put my

25:51

money where my mouth wasn't and

25:53

invite you so that you would

25:56

stop. Well, I mean, you didn't

25:58

stop until you actually did see

26:01

it, but... But, uh, and then

26:03

as soon as you guys both

26:05

said I do, I went like,

26:08

well, I never thought I'd say,

26:10

see the day and then everybody,

26:12

you know, told me to sit

26:15

down. Yeah, I mean, he was

26:17

wildly inappropriate to stand up and

26:20

say it. Well, I was, you

26:22

know, I was, I was being

26:24

the bigger man, I was, I

26:27

was being the center of attention.

26:29

Tom all I wanted to say

26:31

is you know I talked a

26:34

big game didn't think you'd do

26:36

it and you know what? Yeah,

26:39

I remember you were saying all

26:41

this during the ceremony and everybody

26:43

was screaming at you to shut

26:46

up and sit down. I know,

26:48

but you know, I'm not too,

26:50

I, I swallowed my pride and

26:53

I said it. You know, that

26:55

was wrong. That wasn't the problem.

26:58

But anyway, but I get, I

27:00

get the, the need for kind

27:02

of coordinated rollouts. I mean, and

27:05

I look like announcing an engagement.

27:07

and a like a baby those

27:09

are like the only like I

27:12

don't know real announcements that most

27:14

people would care about right like

27:17

you could you could achieve something

27:19

in in your career or whatever

27:21

but like you know your your

27:24

second cousin isn't gonna care about

27:26

that they're they're still not gonna

27:28

know what it is you actually

27:31

do for a living yeah that's

27:33

true but also like I don't

27:36

know first of all My second

27:38

cousins, I don't care about anything

27:40

that they do. My cousins, I

27:43

barely care about what they do.

27:45

Just kidding. I love all my

27:47

cousins and I think some of

27:50

them might listen to this show.

27:52

What about your cousins once removed?

27:55

What is that? That is one

27:57

generation removed. So that is your

27:59

parents' cousins. Their first cousins. Oh.

28:02

Yeah. I don't know any of

28:04

them actually. Look. Anyone related to

28:06

me is cool I guess. No.

28:09

I just decided also I'm gonna

28:11

cut some people out of my

28:14

wife. Wow. Well, it's unfortunate that

28:16

this is what it took to

28:18

realize that, but I am proud

28:21

of you still for coming to

28:23

that realization. No, I'm kidding. I

28:25

think, look, I'm always happy for

28:28

people. but also like enough already

28:30

right like and I think this

28:33

is look proposals are nice yeah

28:35

and I think you should hire

28:37

a photographer if you want to

28:40

have those pictures for yourself but

28:42

like well so that there's there's

28:44

a The thing though, like, do

28:47

you mean, because there are two

28:49

types of pictures nowadays, they're, you

28:52

know, like engagement pictures, which are

28:54

just, you know, you go to

28:56

the Sears or whatever and they

28:59

sit down in the photo studio.

29:01

And then there are the people

29:03

that want, like, pictures of the

29:06

act that they want. That's what

29:08

I'm talking about. Yeah, like Bigfoot

29:11

shots, right? Right. Yeah. We'll have

29:13

to find out if they actually

29:15

get married. Yeah, and and you'll

29:18

have the video evidence. Yeah, I

29:20

mean that that wasn't for me,

29:22

but I but I I don't

29:25

like judge anybody else for doing

29:27

that No, me neither. I think

29:30

that'd be cool to have at

29:32

some point Yeah, at some point.

29:34

I'm gonna get those pictures of

29:37

my own No, so I think

29:39

you and I are similar people.

29:41

Also like, look, again, this is

29:44

no judgment because I think I

29:46

might be the weirdo here. Tom,

29:49

this might surprise you. I might

29:51

be the weirdo, the outfire here.

29:53

Tim, if that's the case. I

29:56

won't hold back, I'll let you

29:58

know. I don't think anybody should

30:00

ever be surprised with anything good.

30:03

If you have something good, don't

30:05

surprise somebody. What are you doing

30:08

that for? Just let them know.

30:10

So you're saying you shouldn't, when

30:12

you propose to somebody it shouldn't

30:15

be a surprise? Yeah. So how

30:17

is it not going to be

30:19

a surprise? Are you saying you

30:22

should ease the other person into

30:24

knowing it? Okay, well, Tom, first

30:27

of all, before you got engaged,

30:29

did you talk with your now

30:31

wife about like, hey, should we

30:34

get married or not? Yeah, yeah,

30:36

I mean, I had a, yeah,

30:38

I had a pretty good idea

30:41

that she wasn't gonna, destroy me

30:43

when I asked. Did you have

30:46

a pretty good idea or did

30:48

you have an explicit conversation of

30:50

like would you like to get

30:53

married? Yes, yeah we'd already talked

30:55

about spending our lives together. Right.

30:57

Tom you talk you talk like

31:00

social media. We talked about spending

31:02

our lives together. I don't know.

31:05

And then before you're like, it

31:07

wasn't, it wasn't for us, but

31:09

we did. It's like, okay. Just

31:12

say it's wrong. What I'm, I

31:14

think what I'm trying to say

31:16

is like, we didn't talk, because

31:19

I know some people, it's like,

31:21

they talked everything out, you know,

31:24

of like, here's exactly like. We're

31:26

going to shop for a ring

31:28

together. I'm going to tell you

31:31

where I would like it. to

31:33

happen, we're gonna go on a

31:35

vacation where I'm gonna be like,

31:38

oh, I don't know, maybe, you

31:40

know, but I know it's gonna

31:43

happen and you know, all those

31:45

other things. What I'm trying to

31:47

say is like we did not

31:50

have those levels of discussion, but

31:52

we had talked, you know, we

31:54

already knew like, yeah, this is

31:57

it. Okay. All right, good. We're

31:59

on the same page. She was

32:02

surprised when it happened. She wasn't

32:04

expecting it like at that. you

32:06

know moment or whatever right and

32:09

I think that was because yeah

32:11

we had like discussed the general

32:13

but we had not she wasn't

32:16

surprised that you were asking though

32:18

right no yeah yeah exactly right

32:21

to surprise when it happened but

32:23

not that right not that it

32:25

was happening I still think that's

32:28

a low down dirty thing you

32:30

did I don't think I don't

32:32

think you should aim to surprise

32:35

anybody why why would anybody ever

32:37

want to be caught off guard

32:40

Sometimes it's fun to get caught

32:42

off guard. Don't you like going

32:44

in a haunted house? No, but

32:47

I know what's gonna happen in

32:49

there. Just sometimes. Chills. Then you

32:51

know, you haven't been. Remember we

32:54

went in that haunted house? Then

32:56

I'm upset. Remember we went in

32:59

that haunted house at six flags

33:01

and you had to go through

33:03

that like, where you had to

33:06

like push through like, like, like,

33:08

like air filled walls. Oh yeah.

33:10

Did you see that coming or

33:13

were you surprised by that? I

33:15

was surprised and I didn't like

33:18

it. Oh yeah I didn't like

33:20

it either. It was kind of

33:22

scary. I even think like claustrophobic.

33:25

Like I don't know don't surprise

33:27

people in front of other people

33:29

even with good things. Like if

33:32

somebody like if you're like oh

33:34

hey some rich guy's gonna give

33:37

me you know five million dollars

33:39

and I like. Wouldn't you hate

33:41

it if you were like at

33:44

arrest? and like you know they

33:46

made a big deal and surprised

33:48

you like because it's like you're

33:51

trying to make me emotional or

33:53

something right yeah trying to put

33:56

me in a position where I

33:58

can't can really I don't have

34:00

full control over over my reaction

34:03

to things why would I ever

34:05

want to be put in that

34:07

situation but here's here's the difference

34:10

Tim most people would just be

34:12

focused on the five million dollars

34:15

and they kind of wouldn't care

34:17

about the other parts they would

34:19

be like wow I'm so excited

34:22

that I was just a guy's

34:24

giving me five million dollars I

34:26

really don't care about the circumstances

34:29

especially because honestly don't care where

34:31

that came from it just weren't

34:34

that bad it was me sitting

34:36

out of a restaurant yeah but

34:38

what if what if that money

34:41

was taken from an old couple

34:43

that was their retirement save maybe

34:45

They were both former Nazis that

34:48

had fled Germany after the war

34:50

and were hiding and they just

34:53

found them out. Right, but if

34:55

you're in the middle of the

34:57

restaurant, how are you going to

35:00

get to the bottom of this

35:02

story? You ever see that? They

35:04

put like a 98 year old

35:07

Nazi in jail. It's like, burn

35:09

in hell, you old shit. Yeah,

35:12

and part of me is like,

35:14

you know, like, ah, man, I

35:16

wish that they got that guy

35:19

like 50 years ago. But the

35:21

other part of me is like.

35:23

Yeah, like I thought he got

35:26

away with it. Yeah, now he's

35:28

gonna die in jail. And he

35:31

also thought like, even if they

35:33

do catch me now, I'm surely

35:35

too old to put in jail

35:38

and then they put him in

35:40

jail. It's a pretty romantic episode

35:42

so far a time. Talking about

35:45

Britain elderly Nazis in jail where

35:47

they die. Yeah. No, but I,

35:50

where I was gonna say I

35:52

agree with you. is the there's

35:54

also like two different types of

35:57

proposals nowadays. One. that's just like

35:59

normal you know that's been going

36:01

on for you know whatever 50

36:04

years here longer what do you

36:06

what how do you define normal

36:09

just like one person getting down

36:11

on one knee in front of

36:13

another person and saying like you

36:16

know tradition let's say traditional yes

36:18

yeah traditional which like I don't

36:20

even know how long that tradition

36:23

goes back I'm sure a hundred

36:25

years ago is probably different There's

36:28

that but then there are

36:30

people that are like I

36:33

want to make my engagement

36:35

like a spectacle You know

36:37

and and if that's what

36:39

the like person you're proposing

36:41

to wants more power to

36:43

you sure whatever as long

36:45

as you're not hurting anyone

36:48

ruining everybody's day, but but

36:50

if that's not what the

36:52

person you're proposing to wants

36:54

it's what you want because

36:56

you're like a narcissist or

36:58

like a like a, you

37:00

know, a content creator that

37:03

needs to make every part

37:05

of their life content. Yeah,

37:07

but if you're in that

37:09

serious of a relationship with

37:11

somebody and that's the kind

37:13

of person you are, like,

37:16

they should be expecting that,

37:18

right? Maybe it's somebody that,

37:20

you know, it's love bombing

37:22

them. They've only known them

37:24

for a short time. and

37:26

they're and they're doing a

37:28

flash mob to propose to

37:31

them. Because there are people

37:33

that do proposals at like

37:35

sports games and stuff where

37:37

they think I can pull

37:39

off getting engaged to this

37:41

person because they're gonna be

37:43

under pressure to say yes.

37:46

Do you think that's true?

37:48

Because it's not like. I

37:50

don't think it's true all

37:52

the time of course, but

37:54

I'm sure I actually know

37:56

people who have gotten engaged

37:59

on the jumbotron and I

38:01

don't think I think it

38:03

was a trap. I think

38:05

it was a legitimately... I'm

38:07

not saying that they're all

38:09

traps, but I'm saying that

38:11

certainly, certainly there are some

38:14

people that that's... you know

38:16

that they're like shit I

38:18

don't think she's gonna say

38:20

yes or I'm not sure

38:22

she's gonna say yes but

38:24

if I ask in front

38:26

of a stadium full of

38:29

people she's gonna have to

38:31

say yes that's true but

38:33

like that's like a rumple

38:35

stillskin scenario where it's like

38:37

I got the loophole you

38:39

said yes in front of

38:42

all those people so like

38:44

there's no way you can

38:46

back out of it now

38:48

like If you don't want

38:50

to marry that person you

38:52

say yes so or no

38:54

you say no in front

38:57

of the arena the arena

38:59

erupts for you. I mean

39:01

that's true but but that's

39:03

also I don't know if

39:05

you want that kind of

39:07

attention but but that I

39:09

think that's the only way

39:12

you can explain the fact

39:14

that that there are proposals

39:16

in those places that go

39:18

wrong and I think it's

39:20

like often the person proposing

39:22

usually a guy is, you

39:25

know, like I said, just,

39:27

just thinks like this is

39:29

going to work. This is,

39:31

there's no way this is

39:33

going to fail. It's, it

39:35

also just feels like entering

39:37

into a proposal situation where

39:40

it's like, how do I

39:42

make it so, you know,

39:44

stack the odds in my

39:46

favor here? It's like, well,

39:48

you know what, maybe you

39:50

should rethink the whole, the

39:52

whole endeavor at this point.

39:55

I mean, look, I'm not

39:57

saying, yeah, and it's, it's

39:59

the key to a good

40:01

marriage is to, uh, you

40:03

know, uh, pressure the other

40:05

person into marrying you, but,

40:08

but there, there are a

40:10

lot of bad marriages out

40:12

there. And how do you

40:14

explain them other than surely

40:16

a good portion? Jumbotron. Got

40:18

pressured on the Jumbotron into

40:20

getting married. I mean why

40:23

else would they have it

40:25

as one of the things

40:27

you can check off on

40:29

divorce papers next to a

40:31

reconciled irreversible differences and then

40:33

they also have a I

40:35

felt pressured because he asked

40:38

me on the Jumbotron. Yeah

40:40

that is that is the

40:42

standard box. Tom. Yeah. All

40:44

right. So I think what

40:46

we've established here is you

40:48

and I are both pro

40:51

doing a little bit of

40:53

legwork ahead of time, right?

40:55

Make sure you're significant other

40:57

probably wants to marry you.

40:59

if not explicitly wants to

41:01

marry you before you propose,

41:03

particularly in public. This should

41:06

not be the first time

41:08

the topic is coming up.

41:10

What do you feel about

41:12

the tradition of calling and

41:14

either getting permission or, you

41:16

know, just informing you getting

41:19

the blessing of your significant

41:21

others parents? I did not

41:23

do that for the record.

41:25

And it was. Is it

41:27

too scary? Was it too

41:29

scary? Well, it's certainly part

41:31

of it's like scary and

41:34

awkward. But also, and like

41:36

I knew her parents would

41:38

be happy. But also like

41:40

it kind of felt like,

41:42

like, I was that like,

41:44

I don't know, is that

41:46

like a dumb old tradition?

41:49

Is that like, like, uh,

41:51

uh... misogynistic is it well

41:53

you did try to negotiate

41:55

a dowry yeah i know

41:57

that that's tradition shit out

41:59

of you for bringing that

42:02

up Well, I mean, we

42:04

agreed to disagree. You went

42:06

there with a big empty

42:08

sack with a dollar sign

42:10

on it. Right, yeah. And

42:12

another big, a little presumptive.

42:14

Then another big empty sack

42:17

that said, grain on it.

42:19

You wanted apparently money and

42:21

just some grain? Yeah, that's,

42:23

okay. Yeah, I mean, look,

42:25

it doesn't go bad, right?

42:27

Yeah, you've always got it.

42:29

Green? Yeah. Oh no, Tom,

42:32

if you check the bag

42:34

lately? What? No, don't tell

42:36

me. Tim. Don't tell me

42:38

the, the, the, all the

42:40

grain I've gotten from the

42:42

other women I've married over

42:45

the years isn't good. Oh,

42:47

brother. No. You just didn't

42:49

for the grain. I should

42:51

have known that's what I,

42:53

yelled at your, when I

42:55

stood up, at your marriage.

42:57

It's just isn't for the

43:00

grain. Check, check, check the

43:02

closet in his bedroom. Stuff

43:04

full of moldy grain. So

43:06

you didn't do that, but

43:08

no. And we didn't tell

43:10

anyone that day. Okay. Mostly

43:12

because he was like already

43:15

fairly late at night. So,

43:17

yeah. Cool, cool. What else?

43:19

Did you look at rings

43:21

together? No, we had not

43:23

done that. Okay. Okay. Do

43:25

you have that? Do. Yeah.

43:28

But they were just like,

43:30

hey, it's, these aren't, as

43:32

you said, Tom, it's not

43:34

for everybody. Some things aren't

43:36

for you. Some things are

43:38

for other people. So I'm

43:40

just trying to get a

43:43

good sense. Why are you

43:45

taking the word of the

43:47

noid from Pizza Hut? Anyway,

43:49

like what is what is

43:51

he have what is he

43:53

know about? Well, you thought

43:55

I said the noid.com. No,

43:58

no the not.com Oh,

44:00

the not. Yeah, no, the Noids

44:02

website. I mean, I'm on the

44:05

Noids website for, for, like, pretty

44:07

much everything else besides proposal. Right.

44:09

That's, it's kind of your everything

44:12

app. You know what, I don't,

44:14

I'm famously an AI skeptic. But

44:16

if they perfected an AI annoyed.

44:19

Right, if they could bring back

44:21

the Noids. Yeah, that I could

44:23

access through the noid.com and he

44:26

could like advise you on things.

44:28

Right. The finances, legal matters. I'd

44:30

run most of my decisions by

44:33

the noid. As long as the

44:35

AI was accurate, right? Yeah, as

44:38

long as it had citations or

44:40

something like that. Yeah. Did you

44:42

kneel down on a knee? Yes,

44:45

I did. Okay. So what some

44:47

people do is that they hire

44:49

a proposal coordinator. Do you know

44:52

about this? Oh, I did not

44:54

know about this, but I'm not

44:56

shocked to hear that. Yeah, and

44:59

it's like, it makes sense like

45:01

if you're gonna do one of

45:03

those things where like you fly

45:06

in like. your significant others family

45:08

and friends all secretly and then

45:10

it's like I want to do

45:13

it in a picturesque place of

45:15

part of Central Park or whatever

45:18

where there are consultants being like

45:20

All right, here's the best place

45:22

to do it where like, yeah,

45:25

we can put a photographer over

45:27

here and a videographer over here.

45:29

Yeah, and like here's where the

45:32

people can hide where you can

45:34

walk by and they won't notice

45:36

them, but then they'll all pop

45:39

out. And I think there's something

45:41

funny about like, you know, this

45:43

seems like too much coordination and

45:46

also like I think myself and

45:48

my wife would have died if

45:50

we had any of like... this

45:53

this type of attention on us

45:55

for more than two seconds, but

45:58

like, you know, like you're walking

46:00

through the park. There's you know,

46:02

like her, you know, high school

46:05

best friend is sitting on her

46:07

high school boyfriend. But she's got

46:09

like, he's there saying, please don't

46:12

do this. No, and I'm like,

46:14

look, man, check it out. You

46:16

blew it. He's like, I didn't,

46:19

I didn't know this was why

46:21

I was being flown out here.

46:23

You know, or like a, you

46:26

know, a beloved family member sitting

46:28

on a bench, but they're, they

46:30

got a newspaper up in front

46:33

of their face, right? Yeah, but

46:35

then you, then you propose and

46:38

the newspaper comes down and she's

46:40

like, oh my God. Yeah. There's

46:42

something fun about that. Well, like

46:45

I said, we didn't even like

46:47

tell anyone that night. I, like,

46:49

I. I get why some people

46:52

want to make it like a

46:54

you know like a big thing

46:56

but we want it to be

46:59

more of a like you know

47:01

personal thing between the two of

47:03

us before we like told everybody.

47:06

I know also situations I think

47:08

plural situations where I've heard stories

47:10

from people I know that like

47:13

doing that blew the surprise because

47:15

like in this age of social

47:18

media yeah exactly like you're posting

47:20

that you're in this city and

47:22

then like you know the person

47:25

who doesn't know that the proposal

47:27

is coming is scrolling through Instagram

47:29

it's like oh these three people

47:32

are in the same city as

47:34

oh I see what's gonna tell

47:36

I mean why are you hiring

47:39

a coordinator if they're not gonna

47:41

say I think these were probably

47:43

done without a coordinator right so

47:46

you know Or a low budget

47:48

coordinator. Yeah, I would love, like,

47:50

you gotta find that niche, right?

47:53

Some bullshit thing, right? And like

47:55

bullshit in like the grand scheme

47:58

of it. I think it is.

48:00

most of what anybody does for

48:02

money for a living it's kind

48:05

of like bullshit jobs right yeah

48:07

except for like people who like

48:09

do things to help people writer

48:12

like make things yeah tangible things

48:14

you can open your hands or

48:16

like distribute necessities to do people

48:19

who need them yeah but um

48:21

just find your niche and be

48:23

like, okay, like you and I

48:26

just like talking about like, hmm,

48:28

what does a, you know, a

48:30

proposal coordinator do? Like, just drill

48:33

down and be like, all right,

48:35

what are the things that you

48:38

need to know? Like, find that

48:40

niche and just be like, okay,

48:42

nobody else is doing this. Yeah.

48:45

I don't care about this, but

48:47

like, couldn't be that hard to

48:49

just think this thing through and

48:52

execute it, right? Yeah, I mean

48:54

well and any anything attached to

48:56

like the wedding industry is also

48:59

like, you know automatically three or

49:01

four times more expensive. Yeah, I

49:03

think it's mostly like how do

49:06

you find customers that way? Do

49:08

you just walk around the city

49:10

trying looking at people trying to

49:13

decipher if they're in love or

49:15

not? No, you go to the

49:18

noid. You let the noid know

49:20

about your services and be like,

49:22

hey man, and like if you're

49:25

cool. He knows a lot of

49:27

it. Yeah, if anybody comes to

49:29

him for proposal advice, then it

49:32

would be like, look up to

49:34

him and Tom, their proposal. Oh,

49:36

and we should do this. We

49:39

should do it. We should go

49:41

into business. Do you remember Tim?

49:43

We were involved in a proposal

49:46

once, a listener proposal. Oh, did

49:48

we blow that? No. I think

49:50

it was just we were probably

49:53

like a disappointment, you know. We

49:55

have been we have been asked

49:57

by somebody who said you know

50:00

they they were going to be

50:02

in New York with their significant

50:05

other and their significant other like

50:07

like the show I mean I

50:09

think probably really like the show

50:12

they probably don't listen anymore they

50:14

they got married they don't they've

50:16

got other things to do now

50:19

but uh right married stuff yeah

50:21

you know what that means between

50:23

the sheets. Yeah. Anyway, they were

50:26

like, yeah, we're, we're, I think

50:28

it was, you know, we're gonna,

50:30

similar to what you were saying,

50:33

like, we're gonna stop at a

50:35

few places, and like, I thought

50:37

it would be really fun if

50:40

we like stopped at a bar

50:42

and you guys were there, and

50:45

like, she would think that's crazy.

50:47

And it was, like, we were

50:49

like, we were like, will you

50:52

come to the bar that we

50:54

go to all the time? Like

50:56

we'll basically just like do what

50:59

we were gonna do but we'll

51:01

tell you and then you can

51:03

show up there and then I

51:06

think me and you were like

51:08

the most nervous out of anyone

51:10

for all this and so we

51:13

got really really drunk yeah I

51:15

think we're also like we're always

51:17

late for everything yeah so we

51:20

need to go there like three

51:22

hours before And

51:25

then when they showed up,

51:27

I think the guy had

51:29

already proposed, like it had

51:31

already been done. But we

51:33

were like so worried about

51:35

blowing it and they had

51:37

to explain to us like,

51:39

no, first stop yelling. And

51:41

second, like it already happened.

51:43

Yeah, I have a vague

51:46

recollection, just being hammered at

51:48

the pencil factory, right? Yeah,

51:50

yeah. I think it is

51:52

which is a bar not

51:54

a pencil factory. debatable right?

51:56

Some nights I wanted. Yeah,

51:58

of course these two nerds

52:00

were hanging out at the

52:02

pencil factory on a Friday

52:04

night. Just remember I think

52:06

it kind of ended with

52:09

like the two of them

52:11

are like, all right guys,

52:13

yep, mm-hmm, yeah, it's up.

52:15

No, we'll see you later.

52:17

Yeah, I think we were

52:19

like very much like, we'll

52:21

show them a good time.

52:23

It's probably came on a

52:25

little strong. We'll

52:27

show them a good time and

52:30

you know what that means being

52:32

loud Tom what do you think

52:34

about these lab-grown stones? Instead of

52:37

time lab-grown diamonds instead of blood

52:39

diamonds. I thought you meant that

52:41

they had somehow found a way

52:44

to clone the rolling stones Hey,

52:46

they don't need to man Keith

52:48

is immortal Um, I think they're

52:51

fine. Like, I think it's a

52:53

great idea. Why not? Yeah. Cool.

52:55

I'm with you. Remember when, in

52:58

the 90s, when people were like,

53:00

Cubic Siconia, I hope she doesn't

53:02

figure out about that. She'll find

53:05

out you cheaped out. Yeah, that

53:07

was a joke in every episode

53:09

of every sitcom? for like a

53:12

good decade there just about. And

53:14

that was also always like the

53:16

joke about like the home shopping

53:19

network that that's what they were

53:21

always selling. Cubic Circonia. But yeah,

53:23

now I guess they've got these

53:26

lab-grown diamonds that are identical. It's

53:28

just that they're made, you know,

53:30

in a lab instead of in

53:33

nature. But as a result, you

53:35

don't have to like send children

53:37

into mines to find them. So

53:40

I think, and it's cheaper, so

53:42

I think it's probably a net

53:44

positive. Yeah, and also like none

53:47

of that matters. Well, yeah, I

53:49

mean, all that stuff, you know,

53:51

it's all, what was it, the

53:54

beers that like came up with

53:56

the idea of like, you know,

53:58

a diamond. ring being what you

54:01

what you give and it should

54:03

be two months salary and everybody

54:05

is like well I guess if

54:08

the company that sells diamond says

54:10

it must be the tradition I

54:12

buy my wife a diamond ring

54:14

every month Tom wow just to

54:17

stick it to de beers because

54:19

I was just like no I'm

54:21

not gonna buy it on your

54:24

schedule I'll buy it as often

54:26

as I want mr de beers

54:28

how is that sticking it to

54:31

them Because they tried to tell

54:33

me how to buy their products,

54:35

but I'll tell them how I

54:38

buy their product. Right. Well, I'm

54:40

sure they respect you for it

54:42

more frequently. Tim, what do you

54:45

think about marriage proposals gone wrong?

54:47

I don't like them. I don't

54:49

like marriage. This is this is

54:52

my I think this is the

54:54

crux of my like, don't ever

54:56

try to surprise anybody because I

54:59

don't want to be around for.

55:01

a marriage proposal gone wrong? Well,

55:03

I don't like cringe comedy, Tom.

55:06

Well, Tim nowadays, it can happen

55:08

virtually even. Do you know about

55:10

this proposal that happened in Spider-Man

55:13

for PS4? What the hell are

55:15

you talking about? Why would I

55:17

know about that? So this guy,

55:20

this like fan of the game.

55:22

he wrote into the studio like

55:24

hey I want to propose to

55:27

my girlfriend can you like put

55:29

it in the game somewhere and

55:31

like she'll be playing it and

55:34

you know I'll tell her like

55:36

oh you should go check this

55:38

place out and then she'll see

55:41

you know a big sign and

55:43

they were like that sounds great

55:45

and they put like a sign

55:48

like a movie theater sign in

55:50

in the game says like will

55:52

you marry me in the person's

55:55

name? Well, the

55:57

game comes out of course like

55:59

people find that in the game

56:01

and they're like, oh, what's the

56:03

story? So the studio's

56:05

like, you know, says the

56:08

story and everybody who course

56:10

wants to know what happened

56:12

and the guy chimes in,

56:14

he's like, like, yeah, bad

56:17

news, it didn't work and

56:19

she's, she dumped me and

56:21

she's like, uh, dating my,

56:23

my brother now, like, it's

56:25

awful. And then of course,

56:27

you know, gamers online, took

56:29

that with a grain of

56:31

salt, Tim. They didn't

56:34

just immediately decide to,

56:36

you know, ruin this

56:38

woman's life. Try and

56:41

have police kill this

56:43

woman by swatting her

56:45

or whatever. So then

56:47

she comes out with

56:49

her story. Uh, oh,

56:51

her story, they call it. Her story. So,

56:53

so he's like, yeah, it didn't work out,

56:55

but can you, like, change it? Because they

56:57

were like, we'll remove it from the game.

57:00

And he was like, no, actually, like, if

57:02

you could change it to, like,

57:04

attribute to my grandmother who recently

57:06

died, because she's the one that

57:08

got me into Spider-Man. And it's

57:11

like, all right, all right,

57:13

come on, man, like. We

57:15

didn't say, oh, should we

57:17

change it to something else

57:19

you want? We offered to

57:21

remove it if it's a

57:23

painful memory, if it bothers

57:25

you. Well, so then it

57:27

turns out the woman comes

57:30

out and she's like, hey,

57:32

so like, yeah, I dumped

57:34

this guy a while ago.

57:36

I don't. play video games. I

57:38

don't like video games. He liked

57:40

video games. He liked them so

57:42

much that we didn't do anything

57:44

and I dumped him for it.

57:47

So the fact that he then

57:49

thought, well I know how I'll

57:51

get her back, I'll put a

57:53

proposal in a video game. So

57:55

yeah, it didn't go over too well.

57:58

Tom? That. It's a classic. proposal

58:00

gone wrong. Yeah, but

58:02

sometimes Tim, proposals

58:04

going wrong aren't because

58:06

of somebody saying no. Is

58:09

it because they hide the ring

58:11

in the mashed potatoes and then

58:13

the lady chokes on it? Sometimes,

58:15

sometimes that is a proposal gone

58:18

wrong. If somebody chokes to death

58:20

on the ring instead. You don't

58:22

even have to choke to death.

58:24

It's just kind of, it's just

58:27

like, why would you put it

58:29

in the mashed potato? What is

58:31

the, what is the good scenario

58:33

that I had to put this

58:35

potato ring on my, you know,

58:37

it's covered in potatoes? Do you

58:40

even, like, what are you referencing?

58:42

What specific thing do you see?

58:44

I think it is a sitcom.

58:47

Tim do you

58:49

remember this this

58:51

engagement fail at

58:53

Disneyland Paris in

58:56

2022? Oh yeah the the

58:58

House of Mouse really took

59:00

a took a Whileoping on

59:02

that one, a German visitor,

59:05

Antie, planned an elaborate marriage

59:07

proposal to his girlfriend at

59:09

Sleeping Beauty's Castle after months

59:11

of preparation and securing verbal

59:14

permission from a park employee

59:16

to use a restricted performance

59:18

stage, Antinell to propose only

59:20

to have another Disneyland Paris

59:23

employee abruptly snatched the engagement

59:25

ring mid-proposal and usher the

59:27

couple off the platform. This was a

59:29

big viral clip. Yeah, you know if

59:32

they were looking for attention,

59:34

they got it. The couple? Yeah.

59:36

I mean, that's definitely a

59:38

big part of it

59:41

because if you're like, I

59:43

mean, what do you say? Like,

59:45

hey, babe, come with me real

59:47

quick. We're gonna go up on

59:50

this stage. She's gonna be like,

59:52

wait, where do we mean? No,

59:54

I don't think we can go

59:56

up there. There's, you know, a

59:59

gate block. on this stage

1:00:01

there's nothing up there

1:00:03

no no so everybody can

1:00:05

see us you know so I'm

1:00:08

already thinking like as I

1:00:10

know you don't like a surprise

1:00:12

but I feel like a

1:00:14

like a spoiled surprise like

1:00:17

15 seconds before is worse

1:00:19

yeah no I agree because

1:00:21

then you get the surprise

1:00:23

you still get the shock

1:00:25

but not like I don't

1:00:27

know the enjoy Disney

1:00:30

claimed that the stage

1:00:32

was gonna have like

1:00:35

pyrotechnics going off

1:00:37

where they were and that

1:00:39

it was a safety issue

1:00:42

that's why they were they

1:00:44

were told to leave but

1:00:46

you know I'm not sure

1:00:48

it looked like a

1:00:51

regular stage to me maybe

1:00:53

there are some pyrotechnics. on

1:00:55

there but it's like alright

1:00:58

but I mean there wasn't

1:01:00

a show going on they

1:01:02

wouldn't have been launching the

1:01:05

pirate techniques. Yeah but

1:01:07

at the risk of sounding like

1:01:09

somebody's uncle yeah like you

1:01:12

could be sure if they were

1:01:14

up there and that stage collapsed

1:01:16

under them because you know whatever

1:01:19

they would have sued Disney right

1:01:21

that's true Yeah, and also

1:01:23

like I am somebody's

1:01:25

a few people's songs.

1:01:27

I can say shit

1:01:29

like that. Hey, I'm

1:01:31

the uncle they're talking

1:01:33

about. Man, Tim, I can't

1:01:36

wait to learn your

1:01:38

nieces or nephews owns

1:01:40

you. Can't wait to where

1:01:42

we're recording this. They're

1:01:44

like, well, it happened.

1:01:46

I got thoroughly owned

1:01:48

Thanksgiving dinner. I can

1:01:50

also see this being

1:01:52

Disneyland Paris that like

1:01:54

he asked an employee

1:01:56

if they could if

1:01:58

they could do this

1:02:00

and the employee just

1:02:02

you know exhaled their

1:02:04

cigarette was like I

1:02:06

don't get and do whatever.

1:02:09

Yeah that's how they

1:02:11

acted when I was

1:02:13

at Disneyland Barris. That

1:02:15

was the place where

1:02:17

the French were the

1:02:19

meanest all the employees

1:02:21

at Disneyland. They had enough.

1:02:24

Yeah I saw one of

1:02:26

them give another one the

1:02:28

finger. man yeah I

1:02:30

know and then when I

1:02:32

when I fainted nobody even

1:02:34

came over to check on

1:02:36

me but yeah they gave

1:02:38

these these knuckleheads like a

1:02:40

I don't know like a

1:02:42

free weekend or something yeah

1:02:45

I mean this is also

1:02:47

one of these things where

1:02:49

it's like you know they

1:02:51

they oh yeah the fiancee

1:02:53

accepted but the couple said

1:02:55

they were saddened. Auntie lamented,

1:02:57

Disneyland stands for dreams. Our

1:03:00

moment was destroyed. Disney apologized

1:03:02

and offered a free weekend

1:03:04

at any park, which a

1:03:06

couple declines stating they can't

1:03:08

give us our moment back.

1:03:11

Disneyland doesn't stand for dreams?

1:03:13

Are you a child? It's

1:03:15

a way to make money. Yeah, it's

1:03:17

been described as an as a

1:03:19

as an quote ATM for One

1:03:21

of the the most profitable company

1:03:23

companies on earth Yeah, I mean

1:03:26

like oh we need some money

1:03:28

for something like raise the prices

1:03:30

at the at the theme parks

1:03:32

people won't stop going to them.

1:03:35

Yeah Look, I've been to Disneyland

1:03:37

Paris and I enjoyed it, well

1:03:39

except for the root, the root,

1:03:41

root of it. That's kind of

1:03:43

part of it. You don't want

1:03:46

to go, like, you don't want

1:03:48

to go to Paris and be

1:03:50

treated well. I was treated well,

1:03:52

everywhere else in the city. But

1:03:55

like, if you're like, oh, it's

1:03:57

supposed to stand for this, like,

1:03:59

grow. you know what I do

1:04:01

think I've got to bury

1:04:04

all these incidents where people

1:04:06

I'm sure that the you

1:04:08

know crisis PR person or

1:04:11

whatever was like okay you

1:04:13

don't want to have that

1:04:15

fine I've got a million

1:04:17

other fires to put out

1:04:19

you know what I do think

1:04:21

I've got to bury

1:04:24

all these incidents where

1:04:26

people have been killed at

1:04:28

the park I do like

1:04:30

about a public proposal. I

1:04:32

think it's like the last

1:04:34

thing in society where like

1:04:36

if you're out in a public place

1:04:39

and a couple gets

1:04:41

engaged, everybody stops for

1:04:43

a minute and like applauds

1:04:45

and is like genuinely happy

1:04:47

for them. And I don't

1:04:50

think there's like any

1:04:52

other scenario where like people

1:04:54

are like, hey, something

1:04:56

to happen into somebody

1:04:58

else. Overwhelming consensus is like, hey,

1:05:00

we're happy that a good thing happened for

1:05:02

this person. Yeah, you know, I was going

1:05:05

to challenge you and say like, what about

1:05:07

when they sing happy birthday at a restaurant?

1:05:09

No, some people would. But I'm not happy

1:05:11

for that usually, usually, like, especially if I

1:05:13

look over and it's like some bald assholes

1:05:15

birthday, like, all right, if it's a kid,

1:05:17

I'll sing, but like, I'm supposed to sing,

1:05:19

I don't even know that. But I'm not

1:05:21

happy for that, usually, like, especially if I

1:05:23

look over and it's like some bald assoles

1:05:26

birthday, like, all right, if it's a kid,

1:05:28

I'll sing, but like, like, I'm supposed to sing,

1:05:30

I don't even know, I don't even know, I

1:05:32

don't even know, I don't even know this guy.

1:05:34

I don't think anybody's asking you to

1:05:36

sing come. No, a lot of

1:05:38

times the waiters, they'll come over

1:05:41

and they'll be like, are you

1:05:43

singing? Oh my God, that's a

1:05:45

pushy. And then they start the song

1:05:47

over again. Wow, that's a lot of

1:05:50

pressure. It's a lot of pop

1:05:52

light idea. This man didn't sing.

1:05:54

They make me stand on the

1:05:56

table sometimes too. Well, that's the

1:05:58

guy made me stay. in my own

1:06:00

dinner. It's humiliating. All

1:06:02

right, that's enough. Shut it down.

good advice. Yeah, I'm trying to

1:07:13

see if I have any. I

1:07:16

have one more. One

1:07:18

more tip. Oh, okay. If you're planning

1:07:20

on proposing to your significant

1:07:23

other. Make sure it's a place

1:07:25

where there's not gonna be a bunch

1:07:27

of teens around. Oh, yeah. And

1:07:29

then if there's a bunch of

1:07:31

teens, I think the teens would

1:07:33

probably ultimately be happy for you.

1:07:35

But like, you're gonna get cold

1:07:37

feet and then you're gonna have

1:07:39

to like, wing it a little bit

1:07:41

and go to a different. part of

1:07:43

the park and propose there where there's

1:07:45

no teams around and then you're gonna

1:07:48

feel a little bit off balance. Because

1:07:50

guess what if you still gonna work

1:07:52

out nicely though. If you propose in

1:07:54

front of those teams be ready to

1:07:56

hear somebody yell out he's got a boner!

1:07:58

Well here's the thing. this is this

1:08:01

is ripped from the pages of

1:08:03

my life you have a boner no

1:08:05

no no no no you know I had

1:08:07

a whole plan and then I

1:08:09

was like there's too many

1:08:11

teams around like it's like

1:08:13

a nice picnic in the

1:08:15

park there's like he was

1:08:17

a crowded part yeah and and

1:08:20

I was in also I was in

1:08:22

Amsterdam we were in Amsterdam

1:08:24

we were in Amsterdam and

1:08:26

I was like I don't know

1:08:28

what these Like, Dutch teens

1:08:31

are like? Yeah, all I

1:08:33

know is they, they might

1:08:35

be vicious or they might

1:08:38

be supportive, but like, I'm

1:08:40

not taking, I'm not rolling

1:08:43

the dice. With these wooden

1:08:45

clogs, making all

1:08:47

this racket. Yeah, so, uh,

1:08:50

so I had to be

1:08:52

like, oh, it's like, I

1:08:54

have something to, oh, never

1:08:56

mind a lot. So

1:08:59

yeah, just uh, you know,

1:09:01

that's I think that's what

1:09:03

the what the proposal consultant

1:09:05

Yeah, or at least they'll

1:09:07

know while any kids that

1:09:09

we do see they're truant

1:09:11

and Well, it's the worst

1:09:14

kind gonna yell. He's got

1:09:16

a boner as soon as

1:09:18

the proposal happens. I think

1:09:20

the proposal coordinator needs to

1:09:22

know when they just need

1:09:25

to shut it down before

1:09:27

it happens Yeah So they're standing

1:09:29

on a hill and they

1:09:31

see teens around in the

1:09:33

bend. That's when they come

1:09:35

running down the hill going.

1:09:37

Don't do it! Don't do

1:09:39

it! You're going to be

1:09:42

humiliated! Yeah. All right, we'll see

1:09:44

you next week. That

1:09:59

was a Thank you.
