Speaker 3: On another episode of the Scotty Abbey Unfiltered Podcast, I
0:09
Speaker 3: finally get to reveal all the little surprises and the
0:11
Speaker 3: craziness that I did for my girlfriend for her birthday.
0:14
Speaker 3: Since I was telling you all the little preparations, well,
0:17
Speaker 3: the weekend happened, and so everything that went down, the
0:20
Speaker 3: good parts, the not so good parts, the successes and failures.
0:23
Speaker 3: I'll get to that in a second. But I also
0:25
Speaker 3: just have to be honest. I'm feeling pretty dang nervous
0:27
Speaker 3: about the live show.
0:28
Speaker 1: You are?
0:28
Speaker 2: I am?
0:29
Speaker 3: Why?
0:29
Speaker 1: Also, Mike sense a little quiet Why are you nervous?
0:34
Speaker 2: I'm not nervous of our part of like how the
0:36
Speaker 2: Way O flow? Yeah?
0:37
Speaker 1: Which side note if you're like, what's that. We're doing
0:40
Speaker 1: a live show in front of like what sixty people
0:42
Speaker 1: on Friday. It's like a small intimate event with people
0:45
Speaker 1: who listen to us in Tampa. In Tampa.
0:48
Speaker 3: That's the part that makes me nervous though, is like
0:50
Speaker 3: we have room for like sixty people. Yeah, And the
0:53
Speaker 3: thought is I'm like, okay, we've had a couple people
0:55
Speaker 3: in this the podcast, so we could be open and
0:57
Speaker 3: honest it's funny.
0:58
Speaker 2: We'll get people on the phone.
0:59
Speaker 3: We're like, oh my god, you go in the Lift
1:00
Speaker 3: show and they're like, well, I guess here's the thing.
1:04
Speaker 1: I don't blame them for not being excited. It's a
1:06
Speaker 1: Friday morning at six thirty. Like, you've got kids you've
1:09
Speaker 1: got to take to take care, whatever, you've got work
1:12
Speaker 1: you got to go to. Like it's a lot to
1:14
Speaker 1: ask people to take out time out o their Friday morning.
1:16
Speaker 1: A lot of people stick like work from home on
1:18
Speaker 1: Friday the bed. So honestly, I'm sort of with them.
1:21
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, I get it.
1:22
Speaker 2: Youeere like I actually don't want to go to work either.
1:24
Speaker 1: Basically, what Scotty's trying to say is we've been giving
1:26
Speaker 1: away some tickets on air, and you can always hear
1:28
Speaker 1: like you're like a beat in between, like when weal like,
1:30
Speaker 1: oh you just want tickets and they go, oh my god,
1:32
Speaker 1: that's a great like thank you.
1:35
Speaker 3: Well, I have this feeling that's like I feel like
1:37
Speaker 3: Friday morning people are gonna wake up because it's so early,
1:39
Speaker 3: like to get up, especially if you listen to this
1:41
Speaker 3: podcast and you know, like if you wake up before
1:44
Speaker 3: the sun rises, Like, your body is not okay with it. Yeah,
1:46
Speaker 3: it doesn't matter how long you do it. Your body's
1:48
Speaker 3: like what the hell? We're asking listeners to do that?
1:51
Speaker 3: And I feel like every morning I do it, I'm like,
1:53
Speaker 3: I want to go back to bed. I have a
1:54
Speaker 3: feeling I'm gonna knock on with before I say it.
1:56
Speaker 3: If people gonna wake up and be like those two.
1:59
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean who knows. I mean who are
2:01
Speaker 1: we on the phone with yesterday? And he was like,
2:02
Speaker 1: oh my god, I'm so excited. I'm wearing my company's
2:04
Speaker 1: shirt so I can wrap.
2:06
Speaker 2: Yeah.
2:06
Speaker 1: We had a caller online and we were talking to
2:08
Speaker 1: him and he just volunteered the fact that he was coming.
2:11
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, yeah, by the way, ill see you
2:12
Speaker 1: guys Friday. We're like, what you're coming? So I think
2:14
Speaker 1: there may be a niche group of people that really
2:16
Speaker 1: are excited.
2:17
Speaker 3: Yeah.
2:17
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think we don't know what that looks like
2:20
Speaker 1: in Tampa. Like, for example, the podcast you're listening to
2:23
Speaker 1: right now, it's everybody that listened to me at the
2:25
Speaker 1: Bird Show. It's all in Atlanta. And then like a
2:27
Speaker 1: niche group of Tampa people. And so we just don't
2:30
Speaker 1: know what that looks like here.
2:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's where it's tough because I have to I
2:33
Speaker 3: think I've realized like how much control I need to
2:35
Speaker 3: have over certain things to like bring my brain down
2:38
Speaker 3: from the anxious thoughts. Because usually I could have a
2:40
Speaker 3: list of like, oh, I know you're coming. I've been
2:42
Speaker 3: in contact with every single one of you. Yeah, this one,
2:45
Speaker 3: we have our team working on that.
2:47
Speaker 1: My mom will be there.
2:48
Speaker 2: There you go. That's one.
2:49
Speaker 1: Our number one fan, Missus Middleton is coming.
2:51
Speaker 2: Winner right there. That's all I need. My girlfriend Brianna
2:53
Speaker 2: is going.
2:54
Speaker 1: To be there. Briann is going to be there.
2:55
Speaker 2: Three all right, we just need fifty seven more.
2:58
Speaker 1: I think it'll be kind of funny if it's not
3:00
Speaker 1: a big crowd, because I think we'll kind of get
3:02
Speaker 1: weirdly unhinged and it'll be a super serve to the
3:05
Speaker 1: people like Wes who are coming, who are actually excited,
3:07
Speaker 1: Like we'll just sort of get slap happy, where you
3:09
Speaker 1: and Breonda will probably get up on stage and maybe
3:11
Speaker 1: do something crazy, start making stage.
3:14
Speaker 2: Because the whole Variety show its time.
3:16
Speaker 1: My mom and I will take body shots in a while.
3:18
Speaker 3: Honestly, if that's the way we could look at it.
3:20
Speaker 3: Then that makes me feel a lot better, because, yeah,
3:22
Speaker 3: I just need to know because I'm like, who is coming?
3:24
Speaker 2: I've had a couple messages, but.
3:26
Speaker 3: Our promotions team knows the numbers and that's our Literally
3:28
Speaker 3: after this podcast, that's the first question I'm asking as
3:31
Speaker 3: soon as we get to our bosses office, I'm like,
3:33
Speaker 3: how many people are coming?
3:34
Speaker 1: Yeah?
3:34
Speaker 2: Like do we have confirmation? Because a lot of people
3:35
Speaker 2: signed up? That's cool. It makes me feel very low.
3:38
Speaker 1: Was it free for them to attend?
3:40
Speaker 2: Yes?
3:40
Speaker 1: See, that's what I told them we shouldn't do because
3:42
Speaker 1: if it's free, people don't take it seriously.
3:45
Speaker 2: That's what I'm thinking.
3:45
Speaker 1: I was like, we should have been We should have
3:47
Speaker 1: charged like ten dollars.
3:48
Speaker 3: Yeah, just to come into the door and that gets
3:50
Speaker 3: you your breakfast and everything. But that's literally running through
3:52
Speaker 3: my head and that's why I said, like, you're gonna
3:53
Speaker 3: wake up. You're like, I didn't pay anything for this ticket.
3:55
Speaker 3: The sun's not even up. My ass is going back
3:57
Speaker 3: to bed, yeah, and I'm like, please, just I don't
4:00
Speaker 3: want to walk into the performance theater on Friday and
4:02
Speaker 3: be like, good, nobody's here, all right, wave to your mom?
4:05
Speaker 1: Eh? It'll be fine. I think my expectations are so
4:09
Speaker 1: low that I'm like, we're gonna be We're at work anyway,
4:11
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like we're just
4:13
Speaker 1: doing work in a different capacity, Like we're just doing
4:16
Speaker 1: work a little bit differently.
4:17
Speaker 3: Yeah, I guess my brain goes to it's like for
4:19
Speaker 3: the performing aspect, I'm like, it doesn't even feel like work,
4:21
Speaker 3: Like I feel like our work week is Monday through Thursday.
4:23
Speaker 2: This week, Friday's off.
4:24
Speaker 1: Friday's like, well, I'm thinking about Thursdays. We have rehearsal Thursday,
4:28
Speaker 1: and also we have to pre record Friday.
4:31
Speaker 3: That's right, So there's gonna be a lot of work
4:33
Speaker 3: that happens before. That's like vacation though, Like when you
4:35
Speaker 3: go on vacation, all the work that happens before it.
4:38
Speaker 2: You gotta get stuck in there. Did you figure out
4:40
Speaker 2: what those gifts were?
4:41
Speaker 3: Speaking of vacations, I got a lot of people that
4:43
Speaker 3: are probably listening to this podcast coming to your girls getaway.
4:45
Speaker 1: Yes, I'm so excited.
4:46
Speaker 3: Did you figure out what the goodies are that you're
4:49
Speaker 3: gonna be putting in there? Are you gonna talk about it?
4:51
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna do a ball cap that is
4:54
Speaker 1: Tampa themed, but I won't be I won't be revealing
4:56
Speaker 1: what things are. Okay, I'm gonna do a ball cap
4:58
Speaker 1: because I always like to do some kind of like
5:00
Speaker 1: shirt or hat, and then maybe a towel. And then
5:03
Speaker 1: there is a sweet treat that I think they will
5:05
Speaker 1: enjoy from Tampa that I will I will be providing
5:07
Speaker 1: to them. And if there's any local Temple Tampa businesses
5:11
Speaker 1: that are like, oh, I think you should include this,
5:13
Speaker 1: just hit me up, message me.
5:14
Speaker 2: Where are you getting the ball caps made?
5:16
Speaker 1: Etsy?
5:16
Speaker 2: Okay? Yeah, I say a cool like a Tampa company.
5:19
Speaker 2: Have you seen for the.
5:19
Speaker 1: Bay for the Bay Yeah, because they sent me some
5:22
Speaker 1: Bay Shore things for the Bay Clothing Co.
5:24
Speaker 3: Yeah, for the Bay Flow or Yeah, they're incredible. When
5:27
Speaker 3: they first got started, they brought stuff to the studio
5:30
Speaker 3: and their stuff is so Tampa.
5:31
Speaker 2: It's incredible and the quality of it, which I love,
5:34
Speaker 2: is so nice.
5:35
Speaker 1: The quality is really great. The Bay Shore basics. They
5:37
Speaker 1: did send me a matching set and I wear it
5:40
Speaker 1: every now and then.
5:40
Speaker 3: You should reach out to them to see if they
5:42
Speaker 3: got like I don't know what, like ten for the
5:44
Speaker 3: Bay shirts that go perfectly with this area.
5:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, that'd be cute.
5:47
Speaker 2: I actually call me and manage you.
5:50
Speaker 1: Every now and then, a blind pig finds a truffle.
5:53
Speaker 2: The big thanks. Well.
5:55
Speaker 3: Over the weekend, I was telling you how this is
5:57
Speaker 3: the first time I got to celebrate my girl from
5:59
Speaker 3: Brionna's very exciting. It was exciting, but also very nerve wracking.
6:03
Speaker 3: And here's why I was nerve wracking. I set the
6:05
Speaker 3: bar high when I told her I was going to
6:07
Speaker 3: set up the birthday plans. She is somebody and maybe
6:09
Speaker 3: you're like this where they like to create their own
6:11
Speaker 3: plans because in the past, I mean, I don't know,
6:13
Speaker 3: maybe people have dropped the ball or they just have
6:15
Speaker 3: a certain vision for.
6:16
Speaker 2: How it's supposed to go.
6:17
Speaker 3: And so as life was happening, she realized She's like,
6:20
Speaker 3: I don't have the time to put together the plans
6:22
Speaker 3: or the parties like I usually do. And I said, baby,
6:25
Speaker 3: I got you, and I did, though I literally sat it.
6:27
Speaker 3: I was like, look, don't worry about it. I got
6:29
Speaker 3: you covered. I'm going to take care of all the plans.
6:31
Speaker 3: Just know that you're gonna have a weekend that you
6:33
Speaker 3: never could have even imagined. Now, as I said that,
6:36
Speaker 3: I had to look at the reality of myself.
6:37
Speaker 2: I am not that guy that just plans stuff.
6:40
Speaker 1: Yeah.
6:40
Speaker 3: I've only started planning stuff for my friends or my
6:42
Speaker 3: family because literally I learned that nobody else will do it,
6:45
Speaker 3: and so I was forced to do it. Like when
6:46
Speaker 3: it comes to my family, if I don't set up
6:48
Speaker 3: Thanksgiving plans for like when things go into the oven,
6:51
Speaker 3: how to cook a turkey, we will literally not eat.
6:53
Speaker 2: I've now taken on that roll m m.
6:55
Speaker 3: But when it comes to a trip, I'm so used
6:57
Speaker 3: to somebody else setting up the itinerary, where go, what
7:00
Speaker 3: to eat, because I realize other people care more about
7:03
Speaker 3: those things and I'm just kind of a go with
7:04
Speaker 3: the flow kind of guy. Yea yeah, But this time
7:06
Speaker 3: I was like, I have to set up everything and
7:08
Speaker 3: I need to figure out the timing of it all.
7:09
Speaker 3: And so I had to start thinking of like what
7:11
Speaker 3: is the theme going to be? And so here's how
7:13
Speaker 3: the weekend went down. I decided that one of the
7:15
Speaker 3: things that I wanted to do that I want to
7:17
Speaker 3: do for my girlfriend is eventually I want to take
7:19
Speaker 3: around the world. That's the goals I want to travel.
7:21
Speaker 3: We both talk about traveling and the great places we
7:23
Speaker 3: want to go.
7:24
Speaker 1: Hey, I mean you've got your time share that you
7:25
Speaker 1: still have used.
7:26
Speaker 2: I want to cancel that thing so bad.
7:28
Speaker 1: You need to cancel it.
7:30
Speaker 2: I'm in the works of it.
7:31
Speaker 1: Yeah, you've got to cancel it. Either here's your thing.
7:34
Speaker 1: You either need to plan a trip or you need
7:36
Speaker 1: to cancel it. It's just sucking money from you.
7:39
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well that's I mean a side tangent before I
7:41
Speaker 3: go into this whole story, the time share whole thing.
7:44
Speaker 3: That is something I literally share with my ex. So
7:46
Speaker 3: it's like, yeah, both pay and I reached out and
7:49
Speaker 3: I said, look, are we going to keep this thing?
7:51
Speaker 3: Could we cancel it? And the response I got back
7:53
Speaker 3: was that she booked the trip and I should probably
7:55
Speaker 3: you know, I was talking about booking a trip.
7:57
Speaker 2: I should bok a trip things, I know.
7:59
Speaker 3: So I'm like, and what am I supposed to do
8:01
Speaker 3: to say, no, I'm not gonna pay it anymore. Yeah,
8:03
Speaker 3: Like that's kind of like in my head, I'm like,
8:04
Speaker 3: that's fed up. So I have to figure out another
8:06
Speaker 3: method of either, like you said, like, I either use it. It
8:09
Speaker 3: still doesn't even make sense to me anymore to even
8:11
Speaker 3: use it because it's still gonna.
8:12
Speaker 1: Pay because you get five vacations with it, because you're
8:15
Speaker 1: splitting it with your X. So, if you missed this episode,
8:17
Speaker 1: Scotty has a vacation club club. It's a time share.
8:21
Speaker 2: It's not a time share, but it's still like a
8:22
Speaker 2: time share.
8:23
Speaker 1: It's kind of like a timeshare in the sense that
8:24
Speaker 1: you pay one hundred and fifty bucks every month. Yes,
8:26
Speaker 1: you pay one hundred fifty bucks every month to be
8:29
Speaker 1: a part of this club to pay for more vacation.
8:31
Speaker 3: We're pretty much paying off the big sum of money
8:34
Speaker 3: that we.
8:34
Speaker 2: Paid for these vacations.
8:36
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's say, here's how it pitched to me in
8:38
Speaker 3: like sixty seconds. Vacations with inflation go up every year,
8:41
Speaker 3: of course, so like the vacation you want to go
8:42
Speaker 3: now towhi, Let's say it costs.
8:43
Speaker 2: Six thousand dollars.
8:44
Speaker 3: I don't know by the time you get married or
8:46
Speaker 3: you know, in five years, it's probably gonna be eleven
8:49
Speaker 3: twelve thousand dollars. The vacation club, you just pay up front.
8:51
Speaker 3: Here's how much money you pay boom, big old block
8:54
Speaker 3: of money. And it keeps those prices the same or
8:56
Speaker 3: if not cheaper.
8:57
Speaker 1: But that's what's crazy, is you still have to pay
8:59
Speaker 1: for the vacer.
9:00
Speaker 3: But yeah, like, let's say I was looking at Hawaii, like,
9:02
Speaker 3: if I get a week in why it's like, let's
9:03
Speaker 3: say seven hundred.
9:04
Speaker 2: Bucks versus seven thousand, that's where it wins.
9:06
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you're still paying. You're still paying.
9:08
Speaker 3: I'm still paying every month to payday. Yeah, as I
9:10
Speaker 3: say it out loud, like trust me, as you're listening,
9:13
Speaker 3: I know I'm the idiot.
9:13
Speaker 1: That's why I'm like, you need to book a vacation.
9:17
Speaker 2: Yes, you need to.
9:17
Speaker 1: Book a vacation.
9:18
Speaker 2: Well, that's luckily the planet. But that's where this thought came.
9:20
Speaker 3: I was like, you know, one of the things I
9:22
Speaker 3: want to do is I want to take you around
9:24
Speaker 3: the world, and I can't do that right now. Right
9:26
Speaker 3: now we're in the midst of grinding out our careers,
9:28
Speaker 3: we're establishing roots. Let's go ahead and do the better
9:31
Speaker 3: version of what we could do. Now, I'm going to
9:33
Speaker 3: take you on tour around Tampa Bay to give you
9:35
Speaker 3: all the tastes of things that one day we will
9:37
Speaker 3: go taste in person.
9:38
Speaker 1: Beautiful.
9:38
Speaker 2: So I set it up.
9:39
Speaker 3: I put on a little captain's hat, I had a
9:41
Speaker 3: passport of all the places that we were going to
9:43
Speaker 3: go and then we went on this adventure.
9:44
Speaker 2: So every day it was testing out new foods.
9:47
Speaker 3: So it was Bivaro's for Italian, it was going to Bosphorus,
9:51
Speaker 3: a Turkish restaurant for dessert. The next morning, waking up
9:54
Speaker 3: and going this is where you know. Luckily my girlfriend's
9:57
Speaker 3: a trooper, woke her up at five am to say,
9:59
Speaker 3: we got to we'll see the sunrise over an Indian
10:01
Speaker 3: rocks beach, to go get pastries at the French cafe.
10:04
Speaker 2: Okay, Cafe de Pati. Now the extra step.
10:07
Speaker 3: This is where I just get so cheesy and so corny,
10:10
Speaker 3: and for me, I love it because I love love
10:12
Speaker 3: and I get to like really express it the way
10:14
Speaker 3: I've always dreamt of. When we went on one of
10:16
Speaker 3: our first dates, we went to the Sugar Sand Festival,
10:18
Speaker 3: all these big sand castles and they had a band
10:21
Speaker 3: out there, and this band blew us away. We got
10:23
Speaker 3: like hooked up with VIP tickets. That we're sitting there
10:25
Speaker 3: and there's these two musicians that are just jamming. One's
10:28
Speaker 3: on the keys and there's the other guy on the saxophone,
10:30
Speaker 3: Sam on sax. He's walking all throughout the crowd, just
10:34
Speaker 3: nailing it. People are dancing. Literally, Brionn and I we
10:38
Speaker 3: get up, we're dancing. We're having the time of our life. Well,
10:41
Speaker 3: as I was sitting there thinking out what I wanted
10:42
Speaker 3: to do, I was like, wait a second, I wonder
10:45
Speaker 3: if I could bring in Sam on Sex. I don't
10:47
Speaker 3: know where this even plays a role into this adventure,
10:50
Speaker 3: but I said, you know what would be super fun
10:51
Speaker 3: is she loves live music, we love the dance. Let
10:54
Speaker 3: me give her surprise that she never could have expected. Yeah,
10:56
Speaker 3: so we went out to the Candle Poor, which I
10:58
Speaker 3: love the candlepor They will for ever be a special
11:00
Speaker 3: place in my heart because they agreed to this madness.
11:02
Speaker 2: I wanted to do custom candles. I love that.
11:04
Speaker 3: As we're doing the custom candles, literally, you hear the
11:07
Speaker 3: door open.
11:07
Speaker 1: It's like on the screen you did the wedding march.
11:10
Speaker 2: No, well, what's that's happy birthday?
11:12
Speaker 3: Happy birth Oh, in a much more soulful way.
11:15
Speaker 1: It is a wedding march on exactly happy birthday. Well,
11:18
Speaker 1: she screams, she pops out of her chair.
11:20
Speaker 3: She doesn't even put together that this whole surprise was
11:23
Speaker 3: for her. Yeah, she's thinking, Oh, I guess they're doing
11:25
Speaker 3: live music at the Candle Poor.
11:27
Speaker 1: She realized it was specifically for her, and.
11:29
Speaker 3: All of a sudden, no, we looked around. There's nobody
11:31
Speaker 3: in the candlebar. It's just us and sam On Sacks
11:34
Speaker 3: giving us a private show with our favorite music. So
11:37
Speaker 3: I had it all worked out where it's like I
11:39
Speaker 3: reached out to them. I set up the music that
11:40
Speaker 3: we're gonna play, So played the Happy Birthday song the
11:44
Speaker 3: whole all the employees are singing, and then we just did,
11:47
Speaker 3: like you know, lu Comb's Beautiful Things as a slow
11:50
Speaker 3: dance song, that song Valerie so we could sing along too.
11:53
Speaker 2: It was so freaking cheesy. I love that, but the
11:56
Speaker 2: greatest thing I could have done.
11:58
Speaker 1: I'm sure she felt really special.
11:59
Speaker 3: Now. I did set Some of the videos were sent
12:02
Speaker 3: to me because what I didn't realize is that sam
12:05
Speaker 3: On Sacks had an entire team that was gonna come
12:07
Speaker 3: in and film this wow or do Dennis at the Candlepoor.
12:09
Speaker 1: We love Dennis at the Candlepoor is.
12:11
Speaker 3: Like a fretog professional, so he has his professional camera
12:15
Speaker 3: snapping like the most gorgeous photos and he sent me
12:18
Speaker 3: them and I just we both started laughing because it
12:20
Speaker 3: literally looks like an engagement because I want to post
12:23
Speaker 3: these photos, and I'm telling you right now, the first
12:25
Speaker 3: thing people are gonna think.
12:26
Speaker 2: Is my god, recrats, you guys got engaged. But I
12:30
Speaker 2: just got the videos.
12:31
Speaker 3: From what this looks, I'm gonna see if I could just
12:33
Speaker 3: pull it up just so you can get a little
12:34
Speaker 3: sample of how obnoxious this entire day turned out. I'm
12:39
Speaker 3: so grateful for the team and for them agreeing to it,
12:42
Speaker 3: because when I was sending this message, I was like,
12:44
Speaker 3: there's no.
12:45
Speaker 1: Way, there's no way.
12:47
Speaker 2: They're gonna say yes to this. After we got done,
12:49
Speaker 2: Dan seeing the.
12:50
Speaker 3: Candlepoor Poor like literally popped a bottle of champagn which
12:53
Speaker 3: I didn't know they could do at the Candlepoor and
12:54
Speaker 3: poured us glass at the champagne as we finished our candles,
12:57
Speaker 3: and it was just truly a magical experience. Here is
13:01
Speaker 3: one of the videos. I'm just gonna show Abby really quick.
13:04
Speaker 3: This is us but doing a slow dance in the
13:06
Speaker 3: middle of the candle poor as sam On Sacks is
13:08
Speaker 3: literally just letting it rip, like giving us every bit
13:11
Speaker 3: of his soul into this song. Does that not look
13:14
Speaker 3: like an entire thing set up for an engagement?
13:16
Speaker 2: Yeah?
13:16
Speaker 1: It does look like you guys are getting engaged.
13:18
Speaker 2: Because everything's so white and crisp. We're dressed nice.
13:21
Speaker 1: Also, she's like clinging onto like you're the door in
13:24
Speaker 1: Titanic and she's Kate Wingslet.
13:26
Speaker 2: It was so cool.
13:26
Speaker 3: Because we were just so infatuated, Like it's so funny,
13:29
Speaker 3: how like the comfort because we just got up and
13:31
Speaker 3: started dancing, singing. I was like, I don't care who sees,
13:34
Speaker 3: who walks by, who walks in.
13:35
Speaker 1: It's easy to say that when nobody's in.
13:37
Speaker 3: In the room, I know, but it wasn't even I'm like,
13:39
Speaker 3: you know, we have to full send this. Yeah, And
13:42
Speaker 3: it was just a really special moment to be able
13:44
Speaker 3: to have literally every piece fall together. And this was,
13:47
Speaker 3: as I said, as somebody that's not really a planner,
13:50
Speaker 3: and to plan all these things. One of the biggest
13:52
Speaker 3: things I walked away and I was so grateful for
13:54
Speaker 3: is how everything happened the way I envisioned it. If
13:57
Speaker 3: not better, we're in my head. I'm like, that just
13:59
Speaker 3: reinforced I could do this, I could be a planner.
14:02
Speaker 3: So it was a huge success. And for the Candleport,
14:04
Speaker 3: thank you for sam On Sacks. From the bottom of
14:07
Speaker 3: my heart. Thank you for making that day.
14:08
Speaker 1: Say, you could really turn that into a business as
14:10
Speaker 1: a guy, because like when my brother was planning his proposal,
14:14
Speaker 1: he had no idea what the hell to do. He
14:15
Speaker 1: had to hire me. And by hiring me, I mean
14:18
Speaker 1: I had to pay for half the proposal.
14:19
Speaker 2: Well that's something.
14:20
Speaker 1: But you got to like find the people who know
14:23
Speaker 1: how to do setups or who know how to put
14:25
Speaker 1: together a creative idea that will be meaningful and also
14:29
Speaker 1: draw on your past dates or your past memories to
14:32
Speaker 1: make something feel ass special as you made your girlfriend feel.
14:34
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was truly wonderful moment, and I did take
14:37
Speaker 3: away like one of the things that we talked about
14:39
Speaker 3: was like knowing your partner, knowing the person that you're gifting,
14:41
Speaker 3: and thinking beyond the card.
14:43
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, thinking about something that they love, but having
14:46
Speaker 1: the competence to turn it into something that's not just
14:48
Speaker 1: like like if they love Nashville, not just getting them
14:51
Speaker 1: a T shirt that says Nashville. You're not even giving
14:53
Speaker 1: them an experience that makes them get to Like I'm
14:56
Speaker 1: not saying buy them at trip to Nashville, but like, oh,
14:58
Speaker 1: she loves country music and she loves Nashville. So buy
15:01
Speaker 1: our country music concert.
15:02
Speaker 2: Question mark maybe something like that.
15:04
Speaker 1: Honestly though, but I see a high level.
15:05
Speaker 3: I lean into that though, because like, let's think of
15:07
Speaker 3: and this is I'll talk about the gift I gave
15:10
Speaker 3: because all of those things, yes, they were part of
15:12
Speaker 3: the gift, but I actually gave a gift and I
15:14
Speaker 3: thought about that. I was like, okay, what I'm not
15:16
Speaker 3: going to get you a key chain or I'm not
15:17
Speaker 3: going to get you like I don't know. I thought
15:19
Speaker 3: about the things that we talked about, concerts, travel, and
15:22
Speaker 3: one of the things I gifted was a trip to Chicago.
15:25
Speaker 1: Oh, you got to see her favorite band, see your
15:27
Speaker 1: favorite band. This is like bigger budget for sure, bigger.
15:29
Speaker 3: Budget for sure, But in my head, I was like,
15:31
Speaker 3: I want to do something big and it could have
15:33
Speaker 3: been a piece of jewelry probably would have cost similar.
15:36
Speaker 3: So I was like, let me go ahead and book
15:38
Speaker 3: this trip and that will be our year trip together,
15:41
Speaker 3: first time going to Chicago, well, first time together. Yeah,
15:44
Speaker 3: and then seeing a concert together, because that's one of
15:46
Speaker 3: the things, like we haven't really seen an actual band
15:48
Speaker 3: live together, so this will be the first thing. But
15:51
Speaker 3: it's like you said, like if they talk about it
15:53
Speaker 3: all the time. I just said to myself, I'm we'll
15:54
Speaker 3: figure out how to make it happen.
15:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can always get creative depending on what
15:57
Speaker 1: your budget is too. Like when my brother got engaged,
16:00
Speaker 1: him what his favorite what him and his lady's song were,
16:02
Speaker 1: and he said, oh, it's Better Me for You by
16:04
Speaker 1: Max Magno, And I'm like, oh, I love that song.
16:06
Speaker 1: Let me see if I can DM him. So he
16:08
Speaker 1: I DMed him and he immediately sent us back like
16:10
Speaker 1: a a free cameo, essentially congratulating them on the engagement.
16:14
Speaker 1: But that was free, and you just got to have
16:16
Speaker 1: like some balls to be able to try and make
16:17
Speaker 1: that moment special. The ironic thing is that's not their song.
16:20
Speaker 1: My brother just like gave me, just like gave me
16:22
Speaker 1: a suggestion. I'm like, I don't even think we played
16:25
Speaker 1: that song at their wedding, which is so funny, but
16:28
Speaker 1: it's still a good memory.
16:29
Speaker 3: It go. I think it goes to show just the
16:30
Speaker 3: extra effort, Yeah, sending the message of just making the
16:33
Speaker 3: ask and seeing what you could land.
16:35
Speaker 1: Getting creative, trying to make these moments special and knowing
16:38
Speaker 1: what that person's gonna want.
16:39
Speaker 3: Well, all those lessons really got to put into play
16:42
Speaker 3: this past weekend, and I will say a success. I cried,
16:45
Speaker 3: she cried. It was I haven't cried this much in
16:48
Speaker 3: my life. And these sweet moments, I'm like, we're literally
16:50
Speaker 3: watching movies.
16:51
Speaker 2: I love it so much. It was a cool weekend.
16:53
Speaker 1: So well, I love that, and I'm glad you made
16:55
Speaker 1: your lady feel special on a day where she deserves
16:58
Speaker 1: to be celebrated.
16:58
Speaker 2: Well, thank you.
16:59
Speaker 3: It was fun. We got to go out. We went
17:00
Speaker 3: out to the Sapphire Abbey. You joined us out there
17:02
Speaker 3: on Saturday the Dead.
17:03
Speaker 1: It was packed. I've never seen the saptfire that packed
17:05
Speaker 1: the Sapphire.
17:06
Speaker 2: Is this, I want to say, fancy bar in Tampa.
17:08
Speaker 1: No, it's like a restaurant that turns into a club.
17:12
Speaker 2: Yes, at an upscale level.
17:14
Speaker 1: At an upscale level because it definitely draws an older crowd,
17:17
Speaker 1: Like it's definitely a place where swingers are meeting. You think, yeah,
17:20
Speaker 1: And I don't mean that in a derogatory way. I
17:22
Speaker 1: just I just mean it definitely draws an older crowd
17:25
Speaker 1: to where it's like somebody's cheating on their spouse here,
17:28
Speaker 1: or maybe or somebody's engaging in an open relationship here.
17:31
Speaker 3: It is funny to like look at the bar and
17:32
Speaker 3: you like look at the couples around it, and you're like, hmmm,
17:35
Speaker 3: this is now. One of the things that's been said
17:36
Speaker 3: about Tampa is how it's very much like Sugar daddy Land.
17:39
Speaker 1: It's very sugar daddy Land. It's just it's very it's
17:42
Speaker 1: good people watching.
17:43
Speaker 2: That it is like you get people watching and be
17:45
Speaker 2: entertained the whole night.
17:46
Speaker 1: Like I think a fun date night would be to
17:48
Speaker 1: go have dinner at the Sapphire and just look around
17:50
Speaker 1: and make up backstories about people because you're sitting around
17:52
Speaker 1: and you're like, how does that person to that person?
17:54
Speaker 1: Like do you think that's his daughter? Do you think
17:55
Speaker 1: that's his girlfriend? And then it's fun like I the
17:58
Speaker 1: DJ was bumpin'.
17:59
Speaker 3: I was a a great time you get out on
18:01
Speaker 3: the dance because you were hanging out with us for
18:02
Speaker 3: a little bit and yeah, n guys bopped around.
18:04
Speaker 1: I wrought my friend Tory, and so Tory was like,
18:06
Speaker 1: let's go dance because I think the Dancing Queen came on.
18:08
Speaker 1: I'm like a lot of Abba. So it went from
18:10
Speaker 1: like no hands Waka Flaka love that song to Dancing
18:14
Speaker 1: Queen Abba and I was like, whoever has the ox
18:16
Speaker 1: is lighting.
18:17
Speaker 2: It on fire, nailing it?
18:19
Speaker 3: Was there anybody, because there's at one point where you
18:21
Speaker 3: guys were like, ooh, who's that cute boy?
18:23
Speaker 1: So what was so funny is so Tory's like, I'm
18:25
Speaker 1: committed to helping you find a man, and I was like, listen,
18:27
Speaker 1: there's nobody here that I'm interested in. Again, it does
18:30
Speaker 1: draw a little bit of an older crowd. And so
18:32
Speaker 1: she'd seen this guy across the bar who was mogging
18:35
Speaker 1: us so hard. His face card was model level. We're like,
18:39
Speaker 1: this guy looks like Aladdin mixed with yawn from the
18:43
Speaker 1: Taylor Swift Era's tour. Like his cheekbones were just insane,
18:46
Speaker 1: and so we've been calling him like Aladdin all night.
18:48
Speaker 1: We're calling him sexy Aladdin. We're like, we should go
18:50
Speaker 1: talk to sexy Aladdin. So we go talk to sexy Aladdin.
18:53
Speaker 1: Well you did, and sexy Aladdin. It was clear English
18:56
Speaker 1: was his second language. But he was by himself. Weird
19:00
Speaker 1: trying to talk to him about why he was there
19:01
Speaker 1: by himself, and he was trying to explain that he's
19:03
Speaker 1: a truck driver who lives in la And I guess
19:06
Speaker 1: he had a truck route all the way to Tampa,
19:09
Speaker 1: and so he's like, I'm just spending the night here
19:11
Speaker 1: by myself. And so we were trying to like ask
19:13
Speaker 1: him questions about it because we were like, what are
19:15
Speaker 1: you doing at the Like you're a truck driver. Like
19:16
Speaker 1: when I think of a truck driver, you think of
19:18
Speaker 1: like some big burly dude named like Craig, like.
19:21
Speaker 2: The waffle house.
19:22
Speaker 1: The waffle house dude. I'm like, what are you doing
19:23
Speaker 1: at the Sapphire? You're beautiful, Like get out of the
19:25
Speaker 1: truck like someone signed him to Wilhelmina, you know what
19:28
Speaker 1: I mean, Like you're in the wrong profession. Yes, And
19:30
Speaker 1: so then I was wondering. I was like, I wonder
19:32
Speaker 1: if truck driver's code for something, because I'm like, you
19:35
Speaker 1: look so good and you're here by yourself, and I
19:38
Speaker 1: don't know. So we were trying to talk to him,
19:40
Speaker 1: but there's a little bit of a language barrier, and
19:42
Speaker 1: we're like, Okay, nice to meet you, but very interesting guy.
19:44
Speaker 2: So nothing ever got to know now.
19:47
Speaker 1: And that's honestly fine, Yeah, you know, not for.
19:49
Speaker 3: Y'all for at least starting a conversation, because I'm like,
19:51
Speaker 3: there he is guys go fly, but it's easier with
19:54
Speaker 3: the friend.
19:55
Speaker 1: Yeah, Or it's more fun with a friend, or it
19:56
Speaker 1: feels less like intimidating. And there were definitely some cute
19:59
Speaker 1: guys there trying to say like you couldn't find somebody
20:01
Speaker 1: at the Sapphire, But from just out of the mood
20:04
Speaker 1: that I was in, I was like, I'm just here
20:05
Speaker 1: to celebrate Brionda and I'm here to hang out with
20:07
Speaker 1: my friend and dance on the dance floor, and if
20:09
Speaker 1: I see somebody then you know, we'll hang out.
20:11
Speaker 2: Yeah.
20:11
Speaker 3: It's like, if it happens, it happens, but for the
20:13
Speaker 3: most part, just dance the night away.
20:15
Speaker 2: Yeah, did you okay?
20:16
Speaker 3: So we were talking about this in the break room
20:17
Speaker 3: when you got back from that night, you didn't like
20:19
Speaker 3: because we risked it all. We literally in the uber
20:22
Speaker 3: were like, Taco bell right now to the house.
20:24
Speaker 1: Oh you almost got the cyclops.
20:26
Speaker 3: Literally we went like in the uber, I was like,
20:29
Speaker 3: we're gonna risk it because this sounds so good right now.
20:31
Speaker 2: For the Lettuce, I was I was like, if it happens,
20:34
Speaker 2: it happens.
20:34
Speaker 3: But I'm just for some reason, I've just had enough
20:36
Speaker 3: wine where I'm craving a Taco Bell cheesy Goordida crunch
20:39
Speaker 3: didn't live up to the hype.
20:40
Speaker 1: No, I've only had Taco Bell once and it was
20:43
Speaker 1: on air on The Birch Show, and none of it
20:45
Speaker 1: was good.
20:46
Speaker 2: Okay.
20:46
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's your best experience if you
20:47
Speaker 3: go to a good Taco Bell, but it also okay, wait,
20:50
Speaker 3: let me take that back, because there's not really.
20:51
Speaker 2: Good Taco Bell late night.
20:53
Speaker 3: Uh huh, hot, you're kind of buzzed. Taco Bell hits
20:57
Speaker 3: better than any fast.
20:58
Speaker 1: Food I think I like the idea of time, but
21:00
Speaker 1: the reality is a letdown.
21:01
Speaker 2: Well, I will say.
21:03
Speaker 3: The thing that helped in why I don't have the
21:05
Speaker 3: parasite as I didn't get the lettuce. I decided no
21:07
Speaker 3: lettuce on my taco please. Okay, but my girlfriend did.
21:10
Speaker 1: We should still have the mystery meat.
21:11
Speaker 2: I believe it's just beef.
21:13
Speaker 1: We are living in a messed up world when we
21:14
Speaker 1: are more scared of the lettuce than we are of
21:16
Speaker 1: the mystery meat from Taco Bell.
21:17
Speaker 2: That's a good point.
21:19
Speaker 1: It's like, we don't need to know what's in the
21:21
Speaker 1: hot dog.
21:21
Speaker 2: You know what it's.
21:22
Speaker 3: That's why it's you gotta be kind of buzzed when
21:24
Speaker 3: I eat it, but you didn't go home and like
21:25
Speaker 3: you have any of those late night orders.
21:27
Speaker 1: No, I always regret doing it because I'm like, it's
21:29
Speaker 1: a ton of money to order food to your house
21:32
Speaker 1: and it's not something that sobers me up. Like I
21:34
Speaker 1: don't have like a taco bell or a cookout order
21:37
Speaker 1: that I'm like, oh, I feel better after I eat this.
21:39
Speaker 1: You gotta get like a giant jugg of water and
21:41
Speaker 1: go to bed.
21:42
Speaker 3: Now.
21:42
Speaker 1: If you're hungry, eat like eat something. But I'm not
21:44
Speaker 1: like a late night food order.
21:46
Speaker 3: See, I was so hungry because I think it. We're
21:48
Speaker 3: just at the restaurant, like I'm smelling the food of
21:49
Speaker 3: the sapphire. Yeah, I'm at the bar at one point
21:51
Speaker 3: and I like looked at the menu and I was like,
21:53
Speaker 3: I shouldn't do that because that food is one it's
21:56
Speaker 3: real expensive, yeah, and I don't know how much I
21:58
Speaker 3: would have gotten for that price that I was gonna pay,
22:00
Speaker 3: So I was like, I'm not going to do that.
22:01
Speaker 1: It's fancy dining portions very where.
22:03
Speaker 3: It's like, oh, I'm gonna take three bites, I'm gonna
22:04
Speaker 3: be done. But it's seventy dollars I'm good. The food's outstanding. Yeah,
22:08
Speaker 3: the food's great, fantastic. However, I was not about to
22:11
Speaker 3: do that, but that hunger was rising within me.
22:13
Speaker 1: Or I was.
22:13
Speaker 3: Like, oh god, we got to get something, and the
22:15
Speaker 3: taco bell hit very hard.
22:17
Speaker 1: Love that for you a very good and I love
22:19
Speaker 1: that you didn't get the parasite me too. Are we
22:21
Speaker 1: happy about not getting the parasite? Some people have mixed feelings.
22:24
Speaker 2: I know some people are trying to get there.
22:25
Speaker 3: I'm good without it because if you ever had like
22:27
Speaker 3: food poisoning, that is the worst.
22:29
Speaker 1: And now I'm just looking at my August calendar, I'm like,
22:31
Speaker 1: oh my god, there's so many I need to be
22:33
Speaker 1: in a bathing suit, like every single weekend in August.
22:35
Speaker 1: In August, well, August, I've Trampa Bay getaway, so we're
22:38
Speaker 1: going to be on a boat, and then I guess
22:40
Speaker 1: September is Italy, and then I'm going to Nashville. I
