  Speaker 7: restaurant group and there was a rehearsal dinner one night
• 2:33
  Speaker 7: and there was a group of guys and they were
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: being pretty wise and pretty witty, and I didn't hesitate
• 2:38
  Speaker 7: to give it right back. And then leaving, one of
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: the guys, he was the last to leave, asked for
• 2:42
  Speaker 7: my number and I gave him my business card. I
• 2:44
  Speaker 7: was not interested, and he wrote his number on about
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: ten of my business cards and I said, I got it.
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: I texted him and then canceled on him three times.
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: And then about three months later I was down the
• 2:57
  Speaker 7: cape and ran into him at a little bar and
• 3:01
  Speaker 7: then I said, this is a sign. And we went
• 3:03
  Speaker 7: out the following week. And that was about three years ago.

• 3:20
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: He was pushing my buttons and I was pushing them
• 3:22
  Speaker 7: right back. And he asked if I would be his

• 4:18
  Speaker 2: That's like that.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I think I have a thick boss right there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 10: I met my husband at BA that another guy approached
• 4:28
  Speaker 10: me and asked me if I was single and I
• 4:30
  Speaker 10: kind of mumbled and said, you know, is anybody single here?
• 4:33
  Speaker 10: And he's like, yeah, my brother, and he had his
• 4:35
  Speaker 10: brother waved, raised his hand and I just was like oh.
• 4:40
  Speaker 10: And then a few drinks later we ended up starting
• 4:42
  Speaker 10: to chat and then the rest was.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: History, meaning it's her husband. Yeah, she didn't say they
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: broke up.

  Speaker 2: In Olivia in Boston, Mine too, Olivia.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: I give us a good one.
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: I met my husband studying abroad in Denmark, but we
• 5:04
  Speaker 8: grew up like twenty minutes from each other in Stoneham
• 5:07
  Speaker 8: and New Hampshire.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: Wow, and you met in Denmark.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Imagine that he lived right up ninety three from you. Yep.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: So when you met in Denmark, did you continually date
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: after that?
• 5:21
  Speaker 11: Yeah?
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: We were both juniors in college, so we met the
• 5:24
  Speaker 8: first day we got there. We dated pretty much the
• 5:26
  Speaker 8: whole semester. Then we did long distance senior year and
• 5:29
  Speaker 8: now it's been like almost ten years. We just got
• 5:31
  Speaker 8: married in May. Wow.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Hey, what's it like in Denmark?
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: I always wondered, Oh my gosh, it's the best place
• 5:38
  Speaker 8: on earth. It's so clean, everyone's so nice. They have
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: the best food. If you've never been, I would highly recommend.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Now do you always go back for your anniversary?
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: Yes, we've been back quite a few times. Actually, the
• 5:49
  Speaker 8: girl who was my roommate married us and we forgot
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: to sign our marriage license, so thank god we were
• 5:55
  Speaker 8: planning together on the honeymoon, so technically we signed the
• 5:58
  Speaker 8: license in Denmark, but married here.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: That's another good story there.
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: Wow, that's pretty cool Denmark right in ninety three. See,
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: sometimes fate happens, yeah, in these situations, you know.
• 6:07
  Speaker 12: So I have a question. Has anyone ever met someone
• 6:10
  Speaker 12: driving in traffic? I know a lot of us sit
• 6:13
  Speaker 12: in traffic every single day. I commute in about two
• 6:15
  Speaker 12: hours a day, and sometimes you see someone in the
• 6:18
  Speaker 12: car next to you and they notice you and you
• 6:20
  Speaker 12: make eye contacts, but then you keep moving and there's
• 6:23
  Speaker 12: really no way to meet that person. Has anyone had
• 6:25
  Speaker 12: any luck or had that happen? Just curious?
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, I I thought you were going to say she
• 6:30
  Speaker 4: has now she's probably she probably sees guys that maybe
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: are attractive, you know, but then they drive away.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well you got to roll down the window.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: So if anybody has, hey, let us know.
• 6:41
  Speaker 11: I met my now husband on the jam and Date
• 6:45
  Speaker 11: line way back in nineteen ninety six. Okay, we basically
• 6:52
  Speaker 11: met each other anonymously through the date line.
• 6:55
  Speaker 9: We would record our.
• 6:56
  Speaker 11: Voices and we chatted through that way, and then we
• 7:01
  Speaker 11: went on a blind date and we've been together ever since.
• 7:04
  Speaker 11: We got married five years later.
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: And yeah, yeah, the jam and date line, that's when
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: Jammin's down the hall jam in ninety four to five.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They still have the date line.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think they do. I think they did away with.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: Well, maybe we should start one.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: Well.
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I used to use back in like the early two thousands,
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: the party line. That was how we met girls. There
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: was a phone number you called and they had chat rooms,
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: so we like on a Friday night, we'd get in there.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: So we meet girls from other cities. You know, we
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: all meet up and have a party.
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: Going back to people honking, I've had like listeners of
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: the show like honk at me on the Expressway and
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: like roll down their window and scream, we love the show.
• 7:44
  Speaker 11: Oh.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I thought you were going to say, somebody came on
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: No, that's happened too. It's it's all happened.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: But but that was a standout when they rolled down
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: the window driving by and they're like the.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Horn they recognize.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: That's hilarious how they shaped, all right, Lisa done on
