- 0:57Speaker 1: it does seem like management made the decision. That's ending
- 0:59Speaker 1: up with the end of the week.
- 1:00Speaker 3: Two more, two more episodes to go after this one.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Now we're making a joke about the behind the scenes,
- 1:08Speaker 1: but it's it's actually nigger. We're got another one other
- 1:11Speaker 1: thing we need to work on. So it's yeah, so
- 1:13Speaker 1: this is the end of it.
- 1:14Speaker 4: More opportunities.
- 1:15Speaker 3: You were just talking about a marriage proposal that went
- 1:18Speaker 3: horribly awry in front of twenty five thousand.
- 1:20Speaker 1: Yeah, so over twenty thousand people witnessed this one. So
- 1:22Speaker 1: this was in an a fight like the UFC, and
- 1:26Speaker 1: it was a chick fighter. He was fighting and he lost.
- 1:30Speaker 1: He lost his fight, and.
- 1:33Speaker 5: So he fought in any match. So he was like
- 1:36Speaker 5: mashed up.
- 1:37Speaker 1: Yeah, and he lost.
- 1:38Speaker 4: Yes, sweaty, sweaty and the extra mashed up.
- 1:40Speaker 1: He decided to take that moment, apparently, according to this article,
- 1:44Speaker 1: to propose to his girlfriend in front of all those people,
- 1:47Speaker 1: got down on his knee.
- 1:48Speaker 5: That's not a romantic moment.
- 1:50Speaker 1: The blood, the blood soaked canvas of room. He octagon, Yeah, bruised, bloodied,
- 1:57Speaker 1: imagine why, Yeah, just a clash of the stars, torn
- 1:59Speaker 1: on the Czech Republic. He got down on his knee
- 2:03Speaker 1: and he lost. Yeah. Yeah, but he's like, anyway I
- 2:05Speaker 1: can pull this. I had a lost, but I could
- 2:07Speaker 1: pull this day back by proposing to my girlfriend. I
- 2:09Speaker 1: can see where he's coming from. Yeah, And so he
- 2:13Speaker 1: got the microphone out there, We're like, well, you marry me,
- 2:16Speaker 1: And her response into the microphone was this is the
- 2:19Speaker 1: quote based on everything that's happened. I think probably not
- 2:24Speaker 1: was her response, what do you mean what happened to
- 2:27Speaker 1: the marriage and proposal? Every on the crowd booing, and
- 2:30Speaker 1: the crowd someone was even trying to throw water up
- 2:33Speaker 1: towards They.
- 2:34Speaker 4: Were like, oh, that's her fault.
- 2:37Speaker 1: Well, I don't know, that's just I guess that's booing.
- 2:39Speaker 1: The you know, the fact that this happened, it was
- 2:41Speaker 1: you know, love wasn't wasn't winning at the end of
- 2:43Speaker 1: the day, but then it wasn't in front of the crowd,
- 2:46Speaker 1: and I think this is where maybe she could have
- 2:48Speaker 1: taken a moment, but maybe she took the high road.
- 2:51Speaker 1: She did say later that he recently cheated on her
- 2:55Speaker 1: with another woman, So I guess with her saying based
- 2:59Speaker 1: on everything, that's probably not. Yeah, so he's really made
- 3:04Speaker 1: a real plate. I was a pantsman.
- 3:08Speaker 4: But hey, also like it.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Must have very recently happened, because why wasn't why was
- 3:13Speaker 5: she even there?
- 3:15Speaker 1: To her credit, she was there, and then she got
- 3:17Speaker 1: dragged up for an awkward marriage proposal, and she said no.
- 3:20Speaker 3: Maybe it's one of those occasions, you know, when you've
- 3:21Speaker 3: been invited along to the corporate table.
- 3:24Speaker 4: Well there's free food, a couple of bottles of Lindow.
- 3:27Speaker 1: You know.
- 3:28Speaker 5: Maybe he thought she was just going to say yes
- 3:30Speaker 5: in front of all those people.
- 3:31Speaker 4: Well that's my chance.
- 3:32Speaker 3: That was his theory. Yeah, he's like, but then she
- 3:35Speaker 3: would eventually say no behind closed doors.
- 3:37Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right and go back. I didn't really yeah,
- 3:40Speaker 1: because you're right putting her on the spot like that.
- 3:42Speaker 3: She did go Michelle Obama when they go low, I
- 3:44Speaker 3: go high, were saying, based on everything that's happened, She.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Didn't allude to it. She did very classically. She still
- 3:50Speaker 1: got bowed, Unfortunately for the poor lady.
- 3:52Speaker 5: I wondered if, like you get proposed to in public
- 3:55Speaker 5: and you don't want to marry them, like, do you
- 3:57Speaker 5: say no like that, or do you wait till later?
- 4:00Speaker 5: Like yeah, and then you wait because it's not really.
- 4:02Speaker 1: Like let's talk about this.
- 4:05Speaker 4: You know, you can always go, oh, that's nice. That
- 4:10Speaker 4: kind of buys you that bridging conversation, doesn't it.
- 4:13Speaker 1: Oh, a big.
- 4:15Speaker 5: Crowd start like cheering and like, well.
- 4:18Speaker 4: Let's just put it down to concussion.
- 4:20Speaker 1: He said later he had not cheated it on the woman. Here,
- 4:22Speaker 1: I'm just reading an article at the moment. Oh god,
- 4:24Speaker 1: I see it's kind of awkward. So you can see
- 4:26Speaker 1: a little video of it here. She's sort of like
- 4:27Speaker 1: covering her. She's like, oh god. As he's on one day,
- 4:30Speaker 1: she's yeah, he's pulled out a ring.
- 4:35Speaker 5: Get me out of here.
- 4:36Speaker 1: That's awkward. Okay, Andrew lovable Andrew, always so cute. And
- 4:40Speaker 1: what did he do? What his proposal?
- 4:42Speaker 5: I was very honest and I was like, do not
- 4:44Speaker 5: do it in front of anyone. Do not do it
- 4:46Speaker 5: on the radio.
- 4:47Speaker 4: Please don't.
- 4:48Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess it's a fear and media and stuff
- 4:50Speaker 1: that everybody goes all tune this into a radio, which, again,
- 4:53Speaker 1: if you want to, but if you want to keep
- 4:54Speaker 1: something for yourself, then yeah.
- 4:56Speaker 5: There was a time where he asked my co host
- 4:59Speaker 5: to come and do something on here for me. He
- 5:01Speaker 5: sung me a song because he was moving overseas. But
- 5:03Speaker 5: they said to him, just we just chicking. You're not
- 5:06Speaker 5: going to propose because she doesn't want that, And then
- 5:09Speaker 5: he wasn't.
- 5:10Speaker 3: He hadn't planned on it yet, but we's the bloody
- 5:14Speaker 3: radio bosses would frothen on your proposal, what would you say?
- 5:17Speaker 4: Okay, so if he did propose to you on air,
- 5:19Speaker 4: you love them.
- 5:20Speaker 5: Yeah, but I I was gonna say, I'd be annoyed
- 5:23Speaker 5: and say something later. But then you can't, you can't
- 5:27Speaker 5: like say later, oh you should have done that, because
- 5:29Speaker 5: it's like a special moment. Yes, that they know you
- 5:32Speaker 5: better than that. Public proposals not for.
- 5:34Speaker 4: Me, So I mean it's yeah, it's it's a risky game.
- 5:37Speaker 3: People impact restaurants as well. Yeah, and it's a lot
- 5:41Speaker 3: of the times the public ones are the ones of
- 5:43Speaker 3: the guys who are like fucked up so badly.
- 5:46Speaker 1: We did like a skip remember that scre I just
- 5:49Speaker 1: reminded me of on our TV show Weird. We got
- 5:52Speaker 1: someone to go like I was an actor going up
- 5:53Speaker 1: to someone on the beach saying, I'm going to propose,
- 5:55Speaker 1: can you hold up the sign? Will you marry me? Sign?
- 5:57Speaker 1: It's gonna be a romantic moment, And then they would
- 5:59Speaker 1: people go, yeah, you'll help you out, hold up the sign.
- 6:01Speaker 1: It was like here's thing got down on the knee
- 6:03Speaker 1: and then we got the actor to go, no, holding
- 6:09Speaker 1: the side and they all low and then we go
- 6:15Speaker 1: obviously afterwards and revealed after a little bit of more
- 6:18Speaker 1: goodness that it was. It was fine, and people were
- 6:21Speaker 1: quite relieved.
- 6:21Speaker 5: That so funny.
- 6:25Speaker 4: Yeah, what did you propose in Europe, didn't you?
- 6:27Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 6:27Speaker 1: Rome was there, fountain beautiful. Rome really did all the
- 6:32Speaker 1: heavy lifting for me, you know, a wonderful place to
- 6:34Speaker 1: do it. It was very romantic being in Rome, so
- 6:37Speaker 1: I didn't have to do a lot of romance when
- 6:38Speaker 1: in Rome, but I did try and make it a
- 6:40Speaker 1: bit quiet, yeah, because I was a lot of people around,
- 6:43Speaker 1: a lot of tourists on people trying to haggle and
- 6:45Speaker 1: you know, sell stuff. And I was like, I said
- 6:48Speaker 1: to Amanda quietly, I was like, hey me, you marry me.
- 6:50Speaker 1: And she was like, well, you haven't gone down on
- 6:52Speaker 1: one knee. And so she's based on recent events she
- 6:57Speaker 1: had turned it from when I was trying to do
- 6:59Speaker 1: a riment proposal public proposal. She wants a showman shop.
- 7:03Speaker 1: So I was like, oh, I better get down on
- 7:05Speaker 1: one day. Soon as I got down down on one day,
- 7:08Speaker 1: a guy who was holding like a hundred bouquets of
- 7:10Speaker 1: flowers was just like, yeah, he's coming up. I'll get
- 7:15Speaker 1: done these. She says yes, and then he was right
- 7:17Speaker 1: in there, and I was like he was almost part
- 7:19Speaker 1: of it, Like it was almost the three way cass.
- 7:20Speaker 1: He was like he was giving me, like he gave
- 7:22Speaker 1: me the whole lot. And I was carrying like a
- 7:24Speaker 1: hundred bouquets of flowers. He's like, you know what, gage,
- 7:27Speaker 1: it's for you, for you, like obviously thinking I was
- 7:29Speaker 1: going to buy all these and no, no, no, no,
- 7:33Speaker 1: trying to walk away away with his hair. You know,
- 7:35Speaker 1: I was like trying to give those bat Really, you know,
- 7:37Speaker 1: he took away. He did kind of take away the
- 7:38Speaker 1: moment for us. But it was a funny moment as
- 7:41Speaker 1: I'm trying to give back these flowers and every run
- 7:42Speaker 1: around and going oh, you know, I was like, oh God,
- 7:44Speaker 1: the people applaud in that situation. She remember they might have.
- 7:48Speaker 1: I just remember this guy trying to get a big
- 7:51Speaker 1: payday from us.
- 7:52Speaker 3: So in like a movie that the whole crowd to
- 7:54Speaker 3: be given ripture, wouldn't.
- 7:56Speaker 1: It was quite quiet, you know, it was a public location.
- 7:59Speaker 1: I was kind of dup quietly. But Amanda, she was like, well,
- 8:05Speaker 1: you know, so here I go.
- 8:06Speaker 5: That weird that you expect them to get down on
- 8:08Speaker 5: one knee.
- 8:09Speaker 1: I thought you was just kind of messing with me,
- 8:11Speaker 1: like you didn't really worry here either way. But she
- 8:14Speaker 1: was just kind of just messing with me, and she
- 8:16Speaker 1: did well. Play to her even at that moment she
- 8:19Speaker 1: made me go, oh god, here we go.
- 8:21Speaker 3: Especially if you've got like nice cream pencil on grass stains,
- 8:26Speaker 3: you know, grass stains on your knees too, down on
- 8:28Speaker 3: one knee.
- 8:29Speaker 1: It's good internet videos to people go around with their
- 8:31Speaker 1: like their partners and stuff and they just drop on,
- 8:34Speaker 1: drop to one knee. In locations I.
- 8:36Speaker 5: Reckon if I went back to Europe, we do that.
- 8:42Speaker 1: It's just like a montage of something just key down
- 8:45Speaker 1: and there.
- 8:47Speaker 5: Just the monuments around Europe.
- 8:53Speaker 4: Where are you reckon to be?
- 8:54Speaker 3: Would you ever propose here at work in the office
- 8:57Speaker 3: the most unromantic location you'd be willing to pose? Would
- 9:00Speaker 3: you propose into the in the toilets of a bathroom
- 9:03Speaker 3: of a restaurant.
- 9:04Speaker 1: Well, I'd have to be quite smashed.
- 9:07Speaker 4: It's not it's not off the cars.
- 9:09Speaker 1: Well, that's I'm trying to think of the only occasion
- 9:11Speaker 1: that I would do it.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, let's say in a car park, a
- 9:14Speaker 3: dingy car park, I don't know.
- 9:17Speaker 1: And they have had some meaning to it, Megan, would you.
- 9:21Speaker 5: Like it's the car park that we first keessed it?
- 9:24Speaker 1: Maybe coming back to that maybe yeah, would you propose
- 9:29Speaker 1: in Westfield more the food court?
- 9:32Speaker 5: Oh no, over a button butter chicken? I have none.
- 9:40Speaker 1: It's not to say mocking anyone what they do, because
- 9:42Speaker 1: that's up to you to the individual. But you're right,
- 9:44Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't. But that's not to say it's not
- 9:46Speaker 1: a nice place. But I still would enjoy the butter
- 9:48Speaker 1: of chicken. But hey, why not? You know, well, that's
- 9:51Speaker 1: that's been the world World Web Listen.
- 9:54Speaker 3: I'm going to finish it now because if we fall
- 9:56Speaker 3: under a certain time, we don't have to have adverts.
- 9:58Speaker 1: We're not going to be slaves.
- 9:59Speaker 4: To commercialism on this podcast. Save a great night, Day,
