  Speaker 1: I've got from an actual friend of mine who proposed
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: to his now wife at a baseball game on the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: jumbo trunk. Before I get to that story, so something
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: happened over the weekend. T tell us what happened at
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: this Pacers game. I just saw some of the headlines
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: while I was traveling.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: So you know, when they're you're watching the basketball games
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: or baseball games, they'll go to the jumbo tron and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: kind of show couples that are in the stand. Well,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: they honed in on this couple and they were having
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: a very intense conversation. Uh, mostly the guy talking, and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: then the girl interrupts him and goes, oh, what the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: fuck are you talking about?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you could very clearly, I mean the body language,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and you can read her lips very clearly. It's pretty funny.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And the whole time he's talking to her, she
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: just looks dead inside.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He's just like looking ahead, I've had enough.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Yeah, And so I know that look, yeah, there
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: you go.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: And everybody on the internet was kind of going, what
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: were what were they arguing? About because all they got
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: all the only part of the conversation that's very clear
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: is what she said. So it just kind of went
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: around and they turned into a meme over the weekend,
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: but nobody knew exactly what was happening there.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: So what did we figure out? It actually was before
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: we get to Shaquille O'Neill's interesting idea.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: So they went on ESPN and they talked to Charles
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Barkley and Shaq and that whole crew.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Wow. Uh.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And they so their names are Michael and Grace, and
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: they asked Michael what they were talking about, and he said,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and I quote, we were actually having a conversation about
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: the rigor of liberal arts education and how it needs
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: to be updated for the future job market.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Wow. Yeah. And she she I'm having a you know,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: high ale intellectual conversation at an NBA game.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And she disagreed with them, and she said, yeah, actually
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: the basketball I'm not a sports girl in the basketball
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: game was kind of interrupting our conversation. And then she
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: she goes and Shack, I love you, but I only
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: know you from your icy hot commercials.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Anyway, I could hang out with these people. As it
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: turns out, yeah, that's fantastic. Well, here's how it played
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: out in Shack's idea. Hold on, I'll tell you what.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: If you ask her to marry you right now, I'll
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: buy the engagement ring. Oh I ain't. Don't listen to
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it right now? Do it right now? You know your knee,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: right now, I'll buy the ring. I'll sing them. Look
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: at her face. Man, if you guys agreed to come
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: to the wedding, we'll do that. Come to No, you can't.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: You got to tell us what the wedding is first
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: before we could do that, ask her right now. Go ahead,
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I don't agree to that. I'll tell you what I
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: wanted you. Let me tell you something. You've already cursed
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: him out on national television if you put him out
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: on television. So what led to that? That was really funny.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Right before that whole engagement ring conversation comes up, Shack goes,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: come on, dude, tell us what you guys were actually
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: talking about, because that's bullshit that you were saying talking
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: about the rigor of liberal arts education. And you can
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: see the guy Michael was getting really uncomfortable and uh
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: he So Shack goes, so what'd you say to your
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: wife that made her say that, And then she goes, well,
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: it's girlfriend, not wife, And so that's where it's spun
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: where Shack's like, okay.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah it was. It was a funny exchange. Well,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: that's an uncomfortable situation. I'll buy the ring if you
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: propose her right now. And she was like, I'd have
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: no saying who says I want to do this? Yeah,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: one or both of them aren't interested in getting married. Yeah.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Well, and was it Shack or Chuck?
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Who?
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Ye?
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: You can say no? Right? Oh man, she's already yelled
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: at you on national television. How she turns it down
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: a border boarder board.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: It's an amazing the little, the little moments that catch
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: like the entire world's attention though.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: In the in the current state of things.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just I mean they were having a conversation, that
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: jumbo tron just happens to hit him and then bam,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: you're everywhere.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Real human things we can all relate to seem to
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: get people's attention. Yeah, because the result not a lot
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: of that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a good point.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, here's my story, Kyi. You haven't heard this. Joe's
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: heard this, but you haven't heard this okay, And a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: lot of people, a lot of you who listened, probably
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: haven't heard because I told the story many many years ago.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: This actually happened as a friend of mine, good friend mine.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I haven't talked to him in years, so I don't
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: know how if he's still married. But I knew her
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: and I knew him, and he is a really good, successful,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: smart guy. But this was an odd choice he made. Uh,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: he had. They'd been dating quite a while. It was
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: definitely getting to the and she was suggesting it was
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: getting to the either we need to get married or
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we I got to end this situation. And he had
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: set up a deal at the Atlanta Braves baseball game
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: at the stadium to propose to her on the camera. No, no, no, no,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: that's not what it was. I take it back, same result,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: but a different sort of thing. He had worked it
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: out the camera, but he had a flyover. He had
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: hired a plane to fly over to say his name
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: was Jason. I don't remember what her name was, but
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you know, Madison, will you marry me? And then they
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: were going to have the camera on them for the
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: yeah and all that sort of stuff. Well, they've been
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: together for quod a while, so I don't think anyway.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: On the drive from we all lived in Charlotte, North Carolina,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Joe and I and Jason and Madison olive not together.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: We didn't live together.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: We looked like a monkey.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Anyway, my friend Jason. They're driving to Atlanta, which was
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: a four hour drive to Atlantic to go to a
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: baseball game, and on the way they get into she
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: brings up the whole You know, I'm tired of this.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You keep dodging it. When are we going to get married?
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: And he didn't want to give I don't know if
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: because he felt like he invested so much money in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: this or what he didn't want to give an inch
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: on this, like any hint. It just is more like
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: as he told it to me, I wasn't in the car,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: like I can't take this conversation anymore. I don't want
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: to talk about it right now. Around she got really
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: mad and they end up driving several hours in silence.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: One of those deals, one of those you had a
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: disagreement and now you're locked in the car. And if
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: you've ever been through this, it is just the worst.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: It is icy in there driving in silence. Yeah, does
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: this thinking any I can barely keep my hands on
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: the wheel. It is cold in hair. Oh it's funny.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Until I said those words, I hadn't thought about that
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: in a long time, but I've done a few of
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: those in my life. That driving in silence, because there
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was just a dust uff of some sort, I'd read
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: to be beaten with a stick. No kidding, yeah, oh please,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: no kidding. Can I have all my teeth pulled by pliers?
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Or do this? I'll gumb my food from here on out.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do this anyway. He didn't give
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: an inch on that. They drove in steely silence all
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: the way to the game, walked into the stadium in silence,
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: sat down in silence, and went through several innings. I
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: don't remember what inning. It finally happened before the plane
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: flew over, and then she was just she fell apart
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: in tears, and they were up on the jumbo tron
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: and she said, yes, they got married, and it was
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: all great, but oh wow, oh my god. I wouldn't
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: stick to the bit through. I was just gonna say,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: what would you eat?
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: The silent car ride, and the hours sitting in the
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: stands of that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I would give it. I wouldn't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: give it away completely, but I might go with Look,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: I've got a really good answer for this, but I
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: don't want to tell you what it is. Yeah, like
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: some sort of into the bag.
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got a giant surprise for you. But that's
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: all I'm going to tell you. Oh, but you know
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: it's you know, it's so interesting about this, and I.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Always nag me about this. I can't have this conversation again.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Steely silence.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Oh that's a gamble. That is such a gamble because
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I couldn't remember how the story ended, honestly, and I've
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: heard plenty of stories of the woman saying not only no,
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: but go to hell, putting me under this sort of
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: pressure in front of a crowd.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: Goodbye. Yeah, but yeah.
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: Okay, so it went the right way. But so I've
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: got to admit, and I'm really trying to figure out
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: if this is just I'm justifying what I did as
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: opposed to looking at it rationally. I've never been comfortable
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: with the whole dude is going to decide when and
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: the woman's desperate to be asked dynamic. I've never been
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: comfortable with that, and it's just I don't know. It
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: was just such a mutual thing with Judy and me
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: back in the day. It was, you know, we're staying together,
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: we might as well get married. Huh, yep, I agree,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: that was.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: That was it. There wasn't a formal.
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: There was when we got the ring, mostly for fun
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: and to make it quote unquote official.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Ah, but yeah, that was it.
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: No, we'd one hundred percent decide it together what we're
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: going to do, I you know, which is the way
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: we decide everything in our lives. And I just and
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not poop pulling it because it can be very
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: exciting and romantic and blah blah blah and joyous. It
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: just again, it just strikes me as a little odd.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I just told the story about when Drew proposed to
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: me actually earlier this weekend.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: He I'm such a dick.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I was in the kitchen, thank you, Thank you, Gladys.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: I was in the kitchen.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Just married nine times. So Gladys, we're not interested in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: your opinion on this.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Nine times could hold him down aerial marrow. Several of
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: them died under circumstances that were difficult to explan.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Engage nine times not married nine time. It's the whole milk.
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Why buy the milk? Of the milk is free, Gladys
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: don't understand why you don't get.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: That twice to Milton Burrow, Oh yeah, on again, off again.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: But it was very similar to your situation, Joe. Like
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: we we were like, okay, well we're gonna get married
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: that we agreed to it. And and uh, I was
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: standing in the kitchen and I was in my underwear
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: cooking bacon.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Wow, that is like, that's hot. Worked together, but that's hot,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: that's all right, And bacon in your underwear. Damn. So
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Drew comes into the kitchen its own website, but.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: Only if you are standing next to my new golf books?
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: Could that picture be any more amazing? Look what I
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: got you? Oh, the bacon's almost done.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: And he comes into the kitchen and he's behind me
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: and he's just like gushing about how great I am
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: and how much he loves me, and I'm like, I
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: hear him start to choke up, and in.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: My head, I'm like, what is wrong with you? Are
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: you okay? And I turned around and he was on
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: one knee.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, but it was My initial reaction was like, what
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: the hell are you all right back there.
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you smelled bacon. There was bacon in the air,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: bacon and eacon there.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I think that's initially, I think that's why he walked
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: into the kitchen to begin with, because he smelled that.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: And then it turned into, ah, she's cooking bacon in
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: her underwear. I got to marry this one. Put her
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: ring on it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: That's a keeper.
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I guess that's it.
