Every time since then something good happens.

I'm just Davin double.

Speaker 3

You know, any idiot can do it.

That's why you like.

Speaker 2

We actually look where it's what you can tell.

It's just been a long year.

We're just running short on ship to talk about.

Speaker 1

Yeah, so what Jeffrey, don't we've got twenty five years?

Speaker 2

Mate, did not forget for murder.

So how long have you been together?

Life?

Speaker 3

We met in.

Are you going to make me do the math?

Speaker 1

Thirty four years?

Speaker 2

So the thirty four years?

So are you thirty four year?

Only four years?

And he's got married?

And did you get married because you felt pregnant with child?

Speaker 1

No?

She worked out, she couldn't do any better, had a few on the go.

You know, I like stable going down a bit of a you know, had a bit of a stable of sorts.

Speaker 3

Are you joking?

Speaker 1

And the cream rose to the.

Speaker 3

Top, you'd want to be very careful, man, stab you quicker than you can freaking.

Speaker 1

What quicker than I'll call it one of our girlfriends.

And just gola, just what I love?

Speaker 2

How when dad like it's like obviously thirty years of marriage to do this year?

But he almost has created a fantasy that he did have, you know, more of a life before you.

I picture him before you.

I picture him like this guinea little virgin.

Speaker 3

Yeah, pretty much.

Speaker 4

He pretty much looked just like Cooper.

Now.

Speaker 3

He was kind of grotty.

Very he was kind of grotty.

His car was a pig sty.

He had no game body, No, he had no definitely had no game.

And he definitely lacked.

Speaker 4

He was.

Speaker 3

He was very polite and very sweet, but there was a lack of worldliness about him.

Speaker 4

Sounds like nothing has changed.

Speaker 3

No, well like, I don't know when he became so well read.

It was obviously during our time together.

I bought him shitless and he just read and read red.

Speaker 1

I'm a camouflage guy.

I just blend into my surroundings.

I obviously went out with you.

I say, okay, pull it back with intelligence a little bit.

I'm dealing with an idiot.

You thought you do that.

Speaker 2

Well, you do fit into your new mold.

Speaker 3

He's a chameleon.

Speaker 2

Yeah, chamellion.

You sort of mold your environment.

Chamelion.

Speaker 1

I can drink with paupers and kings.

Speaker 2

As they say, Well, that's that's the thing back in those times, medieval times, back when Jesus was playing fullback for Jerusalem.

Speaker 1

Medieval that was probably in between halfway the medieval period and when Jesus was born.

Speaker 2

Well, that's I think you would have.

The thing about you is, Matthew.

You would have got along with the king.

You had a very articular conversation with the king, King Henry the fourth, but you also would have gotten along very well with the court jester and even better with the town drunk.

Speaker 4

Yeah, isn't Henry the fourth?

Isn't he the one that had multiple wives and used to get them?

Henry the Eighth he started the Church of England because he wanted to be able to marry after marriage.

Speaker 1

Yes, that's right.

He started the Protestant religion and the Church of England because of the fact that romand Catholic Church would not let him divorce.

I'll fact check this.

Speaker 4

We've had a few do check.

Speaker 3

I think I think it is because then hed to do this and.

Speaker 1

Hence the song, and then he got Henry the Eighth.

Henry the Eighth, doesn't that?

Speaker 2

Okay?

Look maybe it's just me clutching its straws here, but bear with me, all of you.

Bear with me.

Everyone, give me eyes.

Henry the Eighth divorced, romanticized lots of women.

Andrew John's the eighth for mortal Wow, divorced twice.

You know what we what do we think about drawing conclusions?

Speaker 3

Do you know what?

In this day and age married three times isn't unusual?

It's not common, but it's not unusual?

Speaker 1

True?

Speaker 4

True?

Speaker 3

And you know what you meant to do you're meant to be in a loveless relationship on unhappy relation done for three yearshould you move on?

Speaker 4

That's what?

Speaker 2

Maybe?

Maybe we've all got a time clock with the partner where with and when that clock runs, when that stop, what runs out?

You move on with the next And if you love him, you're marrying.

Speaker 1

The other day.

She's outlived four husbands.

Speaker 2

Four husbands, sounds like she's killing them off.

Speaker 4

I think that and Henry Henry the eighth coup Church of England, the fifteen thirty.

So well done there, correct?

Speaker 3

Correct?

Speaker 4

It feels nice to be right on a fact, doesn't it?

Speaker 2

Go back on that lady who outlived four husbands?

Speaker 1

Were they all old?

Speaker 4

Like?

Speaker 2

Were they?

Was she marrying older men?

Speaker 4

Or no?

Speaker 3

Not necessarily like she's older?

Speaker 2

How did they go?

Do you know?

Speaker 5

Oh?

Speaker 1

All four for cliffs?

Speaker 4

When you say outlived.

Speaker 1

Awful coincidence.

Speaker 4

When you say outlived them, do you mean outlive them during the marriage or outlive them after the three divorces?

Speaker 3

There were no?

They all just way.

Speaker 4

Yeah, you're joking she's killed No, she hasn't that the odds trush, I don't know, And what do we know?

Speaker 2

The time frame of which these were a long time, but they were all the death for a long time in between.

Speaker 4

Yeah.

Speaker 1

Yeah, they're spanning a long time.

Speaker 4

Sounds like she had like a certain date.

Speaker 3

She's been like her nineties.

Speaker 1

Now, Well, it is good that we're talking about because this is married show, is it?

Speaker 3

This is we're talking about proposals and marriage.

Speaker 1

Okay, if she let's imagine that a woman walks in gorgeous I'm talking personality, got everything, she's got money, she's got.

Speaker 6

Good looks left and but then you find out she's compliments.

She's thirty eight years of age, but she's had three husbands before and all three to die to marry her.

Speaker 3

Yeah, and the question would be does she have that money because of the inheritance from the yah.

That would be my questions would.

Speaker 1

You marry her?

Speaker 2

Well, the question to me is like I'd want to know how they died, but I'd also want to know did she Not that she might have murdered them, but did she drive them to death?

Because as we know, stress is the biggest killer of anything.

I'm a believer is happy life, happy health.

Speaker 1

Yeah, you've probably fixed up my happy life.

Speaker 2

I do understand what you're saying, though, but you know you're living a stress free life.

That's what I That's the only thing I put down in how a lot of people who like drink and smoke sometimes like a lot of those old Italian birds who smoke every day, they live to be one hundred and no stress, but because they do what makes them happy and they just and their body just just figures it out on the run.

Speaker 3

I would argue that Matt wouldn't be as healthy as he is if you didn't have me.

I take a lot of stress away from him.

Speaker 4

I agree, I agree, But I also think you dump as much on as you take, different kind of stress.

Speaker 1

Different Yet she removes stress.

God gives you take it.

Speaker 2

For the way I think to you, you're like a clock and it's going clockwise.

You take it, and then you just harness that and then you channel the stress back in a completely different direction.

You're like a tide ye.

Speaker 1

You have it here, you bring it down to the hard here and they're projected.

Speaker 3

Okay, I'm going to give you example number one.

Matt doesn't have to deal with people on the phone.

Now we all know how stressful that is.

So very occasionally I have to put him on because I need to speak to mister John's okay, well I'll put him on and he said, okay, if he gives you permission for me, then to deal with Yes, missus.

Speaker 4

Johnson, okay if you have the same how do.

Speaker 3

You go with that?

Speaker 6

No?

Speaker 3

Not good?

Speaker 4

Now?

Speaker 3

Time's that by one hundred and being on the phone for over an hour, which sometimes is.

Speaker 2

I will say the life admin that you save dad.

Speaker 3

Life and business.

Speaker 1

Let's just go the other way for a second, right with Trish.

Let's imagine Trish, you come out of the heart time, you're rather tired.

You came a bit of a fluid fatig and all of a sudden, Glenn Lazarus, Glenn Lazarus himself gets the ball and charges towards you.

What do you do for stuff?

Yeah?

Well what doesn't work?

He just drops on you.

That's what I endured for this family and tackling guys like like Glenn Lazarus, Lazarus Lazarus.

Speaker 4

Radical and John Lazarus.

And that kind of sounded like it might suit.

Speaker 2

There's only one way to take down a rampaging Glen Lazarus t you know how that is fake low and then hit him straight across the job.

Speaker 3

And then get off.

I don't want to do that.

Speaker 2

D Reagan used to do it.

Gary John's used to do it, and look how they're going.

They're both an epitome of health.

Speaker 1

Ernie O'Brien used to do it.

Remember Gay has had that story about Ernie O'Brien made.

It's a blake on the field one day and so the blake posting back and he sh his pants, do a ring around the field und around him so he can change his pans.

Speaker 2

Gary Johns, I've never seen someone who is so who finds like Pooh and people pulling themselves so funny.

Speaker 3

Everyone finds Pooh funny.

Speaker 2

That's what it is.

Speaker 3

What is it?

Speaker 2

I don't know.

Speaker 3

It's the grossest.

Speaker 2

There is nothing funny about someone soiling themselves.

Speaker 1

Remember Brian Cantey's dad, Brian Sr.

Who is a really left of center man, but very worldly man.

He always said to me once we' having a conversation near a chaser at the Hotel Tara.

By the way, he sold it.

He just sold the hotel.

Well that's where we say that time in christ Christmas he sold it.

Anyway, he said to me, He said to me, because he's an American, you know, man, something about the German people.

They're really unusual to have an infatuation with ship which now once I started to hear about those crazy nightclubs.

Speaker 2

They went to the Austrian I think that's in Berlin.

Speaker 4

Throw Jackie on to the bus.

Speaker 3

She posted it.

Speaker 1

Some of the stories come out of that.

They reckon It is just debauchery and people making love in the club or poy.

Speaker 2

My mate went there.

This is the first time I'd ever talked about it.

Because it's an hour and a half line to get into.

It's called the Bergheim.

You can search up on YouTube.

There's like our documentaries and yeah, they've made a book about the security guard who's on there, because it's really amazing at reading people.

He'll know straight away whether he wants to let you in or not.

And you have people dress up and like put the eyeliner on because there's a certain type of person they want in there.

Speaker 3

You know, like an eye mask, like.

Speaker 2

Mascara and stuff like dark in the eyes.

Speaker 1

Get we're sort of dark clothes.

Speaker 2

It's like one of those sort of gothic emo like leather, what's.

Speaker 3

His name, eyes, white, shuddish sort of stuff.

Speaker 2

The cruise ye think like keroofs and the Matrix.

If he was really horny.

Speaker 1

Yeah, I would say like Mel Gibson in Mad Max too, you know, got that leather that rugged.

Speaker 2

But what was scared scary is because there's different levels to it, right, But she walked upstairs, and I think level two there was some freaky stuff going on when she went up there.

She said, like somebody emerged from a corner and like grabbed up like out of the shadows and like tried to drag her into like the dark corner with a hardcore and then Lucky like one of the boys was there as well.

Speaker 1

I was like, get off.

Speaker 2

There's a lot of creepy stuff going in.

You're walking to the toilet.

There's people in there, profusely old touching themselves.

Speaker 1

I'll build, I'll build to a story here.

But Jackie, when I heard her on the radio and kiss talking about it, she said that there were people actually having sex just in front of everybody.

I'm just sting, having drinking and just watching casually.

Yeah, but he's the story of her as well.

Speaker 4

You're frothing.

Speaker 7

It's like he's dribbling, that's salivating what you he's pointing the picture of like so men and women will do ships, put him in the freezer at their homes, freeze them up, and then take them to the club and use them as dill doll's.

Speaker 1

Yeah, a frozen ship.

Speaker 2

Yep, yeah, that's true.

Speaker 1

That is actually a very German trait.

Speaker 4

I've heard that they are on entry.

Apparent they like this gel.

So what they do is they have like a gell that they put over No, it's like a gel that lasts for three days, and they put it over your phone camera.

So when you take it in that you can't you can't record good call.

Speaker 2

Apparently.

You know what else people do?

You know what else?

I learned the other day for people with people with hemorrhoids who might be listening.

The way you get rid of a hemorrhid is you get a glove and you fill it up with water, tie it off, put that glove in the freezer, and then you use that because you know how with the hemorrhy you're supposed to like push it back in.

You use the frozen glove and the finger on the glove to push it back in.

Speaker 3

Its frozen, it's cold, it'll make it the vein because hemorrhoid is a vein.

Speaker 1

Yeah, then we get unless you're being just wrapped around.

Speaker 3

No, no, I think doctors banned professionally with you.

I don't think like Joe blow down the Street is going to be banding his own hemorrhoids.

Don't try it.

Speaker 2

He sounds like a lot of fun he does, So what are we talking about.

Speaker 4

He's got a legal thing there for the end, Just for the listeners that you aren't.

Speaker 2

A sorry everything that we have just said, including Dad talking about the frozen pool.

We are not medical professionals, nor do we want anyone to try that.

Speaker 3

I don't do that.

That could be, but if you do, it would.

Speaker 2

Be If you do try it, let us know.

Speaker 4

And also an educational reminder as well, settlement stick to it if you need support.

Poo helpline dot com dot org.

Speaker 1

Dad had to press follow on the.

Speaker 2

Likerib something about it.

Speaker 1

So we've got trisis.

Speaker 2

It's trishes are too liquid?

They are I am so okay, We've taken this.

So back to what it is, weddings and proposals.

Speaker 4

It is.

Speaker 3

I'm going to ask you if you could create the ultimate proposal, and it's sort of this is a bit of a prep and a lesson for lots of young men out there and women if you want to be proposing of what to do and what not to do.

And we've got a few stories to share, things that went right, things that went wrong, and some of the things that make a good proposal, and what would be your ultimate proposal.

I've thought about mine because Matt's was dog shit?

Speaker 2

What was Dad's?

Speaker 3

He was laying in bed and you said, so do you want to?

Speaker 4

Like, aren't you hopeless?

Man?

Speaker 3

Literally?

Literally that's what he said, And I went, what do you want to?

Speaker 1

Because Trish made me marry you lay by the ring?

Speaker 3

Trish, you went hopeless.

Speaker 1

You went and lay by the ring.

Speaker 4

I never asked you.

Speaker 1

And you said, I'm letting you know that I've laid by the engagement ring.

And I was like, what's that?

Speaker 4

Surprisingly, I'm surprised by how many women do it.

I didn't realize until you know, my friend's got girlfriends now and people are getting engaged.

That's a thing that happens.

Speaker 3

See, I was before my time.

Speaker 2

I'm pretty sure that's quite not.

You know what, because in leading into this, I like googled a lot of I put Google ship proposers in and the amount to not the ship that dad was talking about earlier.

But the amount of people that on like online and stuff were talking about their partners just saying, so should we do you want to?

And they and people in all the comments were going, what an idiot?

Speaker 3

Exactly?

Speaker 2

I don't know if they're talking about you specifically, if it's.

Speaker 3

True, so should we?

Or I've got one where I read a guy went to a picnic, laid out the blanket said to his girlfriend, I'm ready to get married.

Speaker 2

He said that, yeah.

Speaker 3

That's what he said, so it was all about him.

I'm ready to get married, Trent.

What she said, Well, I'm ready to get married now.

And she said, that's your proposal, you idiot, and she took off and left him.

Speaker 2

I got a couple of questions.

I want to ask you quickly before actually, now, we'll do our We'll do the perfect proposal.

What was the proposer you were thinking?

Speaker 3

I would love if someone took me up in a helicopter.

I know it's a little bit bougie, but I do like a helicopter and either up to like one of the snowy mountains on Queenstown, the remarkable.

I'd like that.

Speaker 4

I want to go skiing there next year.

Actually, any listeners have suggestions, let me know.

Speaker 3

Yeah, or over the wee Sundays and land on white Haven.

Speaker 1

Beach kind of a birth Ways sun Hey.

Speaker 3

I'm giving you.

I'm giving you options and drop to one knee and propose.

That would be beautiful with the ring of my dreams.

Speaker 1

One knee in the helicopter because I'm thinking on.

Speaker 3

The landing numb nuts.

Speaker 1

You just got to especially that one by one.

Speaker 3

I think people work that out confusing.

Get up onto the mountain at the remarkables and you land from the helicopter, You get out, you walk around, and I turn around and I see you dropped on one knee or someone more handsome.

I don't mind with the.

Speaker 2

Ring saying maybe breath and as would.

Speaker 3

You please marry me?

That would be nice.

Speaker 2

Have you got a propose to wonder?

Speaker 1

What an ideal?

One?

Yeah?

Speaker 3

Or here you go bozo down at the bub hang on.

Speaker 2

Because because you haven't got you haven't got the run down in front of your Have you to day on freestyle?

That's basically you've been you the whole year.

Speaker 1

No, no, today, I'm really fished like an ideal.

No, I'm just not the well I'm not the romantic.

Speaker 3

What do you think is nice?

Speaker 2

If you wanted if how would you want look at Jack?

Speaker 6

Right?

Speaker 2

Jack's probably, let's be honest, Kid's not far off that level.

Speaker 1

He's the sort of guy who will go above and beyond.

Speaker 2

But how would you want picture?

How you would want that scenario for him?

Speaker 3

You were so much better than your boys?

Speaker 1

Okay, okay, where I would Jack?

I'd take my idea with for Jack would be we all go down to Elemento's, by the way, go down.

We gave Elemento's and mentioned about three months ago on the podcast and they told me that Yarn who does the morning shift there Elemento.

He got a call from Blake and Fairfield said pizza that I hear about on John's Family podcast, and I'm coming from Fairfield Pizza.

Yeah, I reckon, Jack, go down element PiZZ Get one of those delicious Calzoni, a very Italian theme.

Fold the calzoni, put the ring inside the.

Speaker 3

Kelson the idea of rings, old jewelry and food.

Speaker 4

I'll talk to.

Speaker 1

Yeah, and then she goes he enjoying it, and just go and then say, you know, Calzoni is really just a pizza folded folded.

So let's open it up.

Well, what's this?

Will you marry him?

Speaker 2

Does anyone think the old ring in the champagne glass is a little bit tacky?

Speaker 3

Tacky?

Speaker 1

I'm with you, Yeah, No, I don't like that.

Speaker 2

Don't hide it like you own it.

Speaker 3

Yeah, but I do want to surprise, like drop down and have the ring ready.

That's what I want.

Speaker 2

Can I give mine for Jack Duses?

Because Jack will probably give himself away because he's probably going to do it in the next sort of month or two.

I always imagine this is how I would do it.

Scenario based sunset on a mountain with a view overlooking the sunset as it hits ther and the whole sky.

When the sky goes orange, Jesus, a beautiful sight.

When the sky goes orange, that's when I want to I Ben, we're having a charcuterie board on a pili, salami, pepperoni, cheese, crackers.

You don't like charcuterie boards.

Speaker 3

It's funny Olives doesn't trust the jats?

Speaker 2

Is there a better biscuit than the jat?

And I could eat jat and cheese all day?

Speaker 4

I like rits.

Speaker 2

Cum rich too crumbly.

Yeah, I don't like it, but then I go down on one knee.

You know, will you marry me?

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, mister James Blunt.

James Blunt comes out music as as you know, my love is brilliant, my love is pure.

I saw an angel and then we sit there overlooking the sunset as your beautiful players.

If she says no beautiful, push her off.

Speaker 4

See James Blunts in New Zealand.

The top five weirdest things I've ever seen is him saying this is one of the greatest moments of my life on his Facebook page and he's wearing an All Blacks jersey.

It just didn't seem right to me.

Speaker 2

I think that was a few weeks ago.

Speaker 1

It's one of those wimpish guys that goes into it.

Speaker 3

Did I really you had time with him somewhere else?

Speaker 1

Yeah?

Speaker 3

I remember?

Speaker 2

Did you actually?

Speaker 1

Can I just change for one second?

Kind of another crack of the jack.

Speaker 3

Another proposal?

Maybe you'll repropose.

Speaker 1

The woman of my dreams to the Himalias.

And at the top you butchered that.

Speaker 3

That meant to do that.

Speaker 1

People who have been to the humalays mate to the locals call well read yeah yes, and and I'd sit up there with the water on the dreams.

We look into the distance, look it up there, look at that, there's color, bitan and I point out everything.

Then all of a sudden, up comes Sasquatch the yetting himself and delivers the ring.

Speaker 6

A lot's got to go right from woman of your dream she's blonde, right, yeah, it has to be.

Speaker 1

Jack.

Speaker 4

Okay.

Here we go under a warm sunset on a quiet cliff top.

I take her as our song plays softly through the breeze, and everything around us fades away.

I smile, drop to one knee and tell her every crazy road I've taken led me right here to you.

Speaker 3

Sounds like yeah, and then and then, I don't know.

Speaker 4

Chat GBT didn't finish.

Speaker 3

You've got it.

Speaker 2

He's got to.

He's got to start.

Jack's life is turning into AI like every sort he ever has is from chat GBT.

I'm worried about him.

Speaker 3

I've got some ship proposals for you.

Speaker 2

I tell you, I'm worried that he's going to start.

Chat GPT is going to start Roger and Jack's missus.

Speaker 1

What if it does?

All walking?

So get off that you do.

Speaker 4

Know you better do your best words.

I couldn't find the best, so I've got a worse slash best.

So I don't know.

It's just now.

This is a true story.

At a friend's birthday wedding in Sorry, at a friend's wedding in Vegas, Bill Murray stole the mic, dropped his pants and yelled, if love's real, you'll say yes.

After this, he actually proposed to the bride of his friend and somehow he got the loudest.

Speaker 2

Applause ever did she say yes?

Speaker 4

I think it was a joke.

Speaker 3

That's pretty bad.

Speaker 4

I thought that would that be appropriate to anyone else's wedding, because you know, it's actually one of the big no nos to propose at somebody else's wedding.

Speaker 3

That's very And I was at a wedding in Italy two couple of years ago and the groom's sister was going to propose to her partner and they were going to do it at the wedding and they went.

Speaker 1

Like, no, Grandmaster, flash, don't do it.

Speaker 3

I think they did it the day after all.

Speaker 4

I've got lots of friends that have done it when they've gone on trips, like if they're doing weddings overseas, they'll do it.

On the trip, not at the wedding.

But they'll do it on the same trip.

Speaker 3

That's okay.

Speaker 5

You got to be.

Speaker 1

Careful not to get caught up in it.

Honestly, get caught up in it.

Oh that was great, they're doing it.

Maybe we should do it.

Speaker 3

Actually, yeah, regret because we were one of the first to get married amongst your friends and my friends.

Actually, and I did notice that quite a few of your friends then follows two, and I thought they doing it because they want to do it, or they're doing it because they think it's they need to do it.

Speaker 2

Yeah, and that is a thing once I first has a child to get married.

Speaker 1

To disentangle that, I've tried a few times.

I remember every time I try to break up the trish she bang on the tears.

Speaker 3

I'm not a crier.

Speaker 1

Yeah, yeah, well I did a couple of times.

Speaker 3

How many times have you boys ever seen me cry?

Actually, I'm not a crier.

I don't cry.

Speaker 4

I can think of some times.

Speaker 2

I remember that that time that Jack showed you the video of you getting home at that time, and you were throwing a couple of haymakers at me.

Speaker 4

There was one there was one way you laughed makers you laugh, cried in twenty thirty when we were living in the apartment or full of flour of us and we showed you that nasty you were losing my hair, you know, if you want to tell it's all good.

Speaker 1

Jack.

Speaker 2

She was going through chemo at the time, mate, have a bit of.

Speaker 4

She was going through chemo at the time, and her she Trish, wanted to hold onto her hair, of course, so she was doing this treatment and it sort of half kept, half didn't.

And we can laugh now, can't look, You've got a beautiful.

Speaker 2

Hair in hindsight, she's got She had more hair back then than Dad's got now.

Speaker 4

True, And that Dad showed Dad, we showed her a photo.

Speaker 3

Who did he call me?

Speaker 4

Yeah?

Speaker 1

I got to hear it.

Speaker 4

So we all we all on the laptop.

We washed Kingpin together and Dad got it up on the laptop.

Speaker 5

And we're all three of us boys are huddling, huddling around the laptop, and there was there was a photo of ern McCracken with his hair to the left of him, like folded up.

Speaker 4

And you come and found all three of us looking at it, saying it looks like Trish.

You started laughing, and then I remember that.

Speaker 2

It's I've only just remembered halfway through Jack's that's I was laughing.

That was so funny because I remember it was such an edgy joke, like for a woman that was your chemo.

And you started cracking up, so we all laughed harder.

And then the next minute I looked back and you just started sobbing, hysterical, and it was I was like, oh God, we're realnson.

I tell you what, if you don't laugh, you'll cry, exactly.

But in some cases, even if you laugh, you'll cry.

Speaker 4

Look at you out Look at that beautiful well.

Speaker 2

That resilience that you showed, and you know that's breaking up.

Speaker 1

It's tough, tough to do, pass through the eye of the needle.

If you will hold your breath, hold your nerve.

Speaker 2

Babe, what did you just say, breaking up?

Speaker 1

Yeah, breaking up when you end a relationship.

For people out there to let you know, you need to visit yourself outside of your body.

Don't be present in your mind, walk up there, deliver it straight between the.

Speaker 3

Eyes with anyone.

Speaker 1

I tried a couple of times a year.

You're weakened.

Speaker 2

I laughed at you even if you tried to break up I tell you what when we were growing up, Jack, the amount of times where Dady go you know, you guys have a big fight and Dad typical like when he's in the head moment.

You know, you know, I think that I think me and your mother are done.

I think me and your mother are done.

I don't know, you know, I think this is the last time.

Speaker 3

That's very adult.

Speaker 1

A few put it on the kid, trying to win their favor.

What she said about you, guys, Jack, what.

Speaker 2

She said about your sense of humor.

Seriously, that was two weeks ago.

Speaker 3

When he said that I wouldn't divorce you because I would when the boys were young, because I was never going to share the boys.

Speaker 2

You wouldn't want to share us sharing you.

Speaker 3

Who do you think if we were imagine then some other little woman comes along and I can't do anything about it.

Speaker 2

Woman dreams comes in, Jackie, do you think that Who do you think would have got I think Jack probably safe to say, I think Trish probably would have won us in the divorce.

Speaker 4

I think so pretty easy.

Speaker 1

I reckon I just wanted the cat and the dog.

That's anything that Yeah, don't look after him.

Speaker 3

Honestly, Charlie was my daughter, who was doing everything for them, who organized the medication, the food, everything, the never.

Speaker 4

Would you even know what to do?

Speaker 1

Definitely, I know that I know the mill.

I know exactly what I have to do, what the the mill.

I know exactly the measurements I need to be given to.

Speaker 4

Yes, you mean like the pill.

Speaker 3

Yeah, it's not liquid mate, the mill.

It's the detail.

Speaker 2

The devil's in the detail of my friend.

When we're talking about proposals at weddings, because the proposal, others proposals by that, I think is such a no note anything that's in public.

Absolutely, doing it at a wedding, you don't really leave her much of an option.

Speaker 3

You don't cage someone in the worst.

Speaker 2

Place to propose.

Another one theme parks when people do it at sporting events.

I look at that big screen and here we go at halftime at McDonald Jones Stadium and look and there's just a punner in the crowd dropping down to one knee.

Imagine, first, you don't leave her any option to say no if she does.

Speaker 1

We played semi final one night ninety eight against the Roosters and a very known sporting personality in Newcastle who were not involved the rugby league and another big sporting Everyone went mate.

Literally as the game as we're warming up, about to go back in the sheds to start the went the ground now goes everybody.

Everybody silence, and he came out on the field, walked over to his girlfriend and proposed.

She said yes.

You can see the reluctance.

They spent a fireworks went off in the stadium.

Everything three days later all over and of course everyone's going out and be going, oh, man, fantastic, you don't do that.

Speaker 2

No, And you know what else I hate?

There was there's one for a bit there people were doing it.

Remember flash mobs when people would just rock up like at a mall and then everyone start dancing like it'd be a whole rehearsed dance.

There was shit going on like that, where they'd organize, for say, if you're about to propose to troops, not saying it would, but if like you'd organized her to go in the middle of the mall and then a whole flash mob would sort of dance around her, and then the husband would kind of emerge at like in the middle of the flash mob with a ring and it was like, why what do you get out of that and for her to say, imagine, how can she say no when she's got some bloke doing the moonwalk and the robot in front of.

Speaker 3

Us, in front of people.

Speaker 1

Let me just tell you people what marriage people are proposing like they've got some idea of what marriage is about.

Honestly, marriage, it's almost like I put it out on par with going to the dentist, like if you're going to get like it's like doing a flash mob and someone just comes out and goes, here's your appointment next Tuesday.

Speaker 2

It's such an ambush.

Speaker 3

Well, that would be an ambush.

I've got a few other things that I wrote down with very inappropriate ways or places to propose during sex or after sex in a nightclub, in a toilet.

That would be when you're when you're drunk at the burger.

Speaker 4

What about the.

Speaker 1

Hang on?

Speaker 2

Did you say during sex?

Speaker 3

Yes, that happens.

Speaker 2

Has that ever been proven of someone?

Speaker 6

To do.

Speaker 1

With man in the height of passion?

Will you marry me?

Speaker 2

It's like that meat Okay, Oh god, it's like that meat love song Paradise by the dashboard line.

Speaker 3

Okay.

In response to a breakout, like so, if you've broken up with someone and then you go and say, oh, are you marrying me?

Oh yeah, yeah, well that happened to me.

Speaker 1

She did broke up with Luke.

He's alright, he's moved on to better, better.

Speaker 3

Anywhere crowded.

And the other one is on social media.

Do not do it via social media?

Speaker 4

Well how does that work?

Speaker 3

Well, people can do it on social media message like a proposal.

Yeah, like that's how it's done.

Speaker 4

I imagine the proposals nun before social media, right, not like it's as if you're sending you a text message.

No, I don't know.

Speaker 3

I don't know whether the person goes on and says it on social media and that is the proposal, or they're taping their proposal and showing that on social media.

Speaker 1

Honestly, basically sick when you see people on things like this Instagram going I love this little lady, She's mine forever, and they're posing in the sunlight.

Just leave it alone, honestly.

Speaker 3

It's I get when people on Instagram tag it with my love.

Speaker 2

Yes, I don't know, look and I get that, Like, you know, some people want to advertise their love for or perceive their advertised love for their spouse.

But you know, call me old fashion, call me old fashion, but the love for my partner, I like to keep that behind closed doors.

You know what I mean.

Speaker 3

It should be obvious.

The love for your partner should be obvious.

You shouldn't need to.

Speaker 1

Shouldn't want to flaunt it on your social media taking photos of their breakfast.

It's like having doing a turn in the morning, taking a have a look what I have for dinner.

Speaker 2

And nothing's worse than those pictures of couples down at the beach in white all wearing white linen and they're like cuddling after waves.

You know what I mean, the amount of pictures I've seen.

Everyone doesn't and it's so frustrated.

Speaker 1

In Greece, you're not Greek.

Speaker 2

Get them off, particularly when they're announcing a pregnancy.

A lot of people do that, and like the sweaty husband's behind the spouse holding her tummy and they're kind of like a like a creepy uncle, and then staring shape down the battle and it's like we're welcoming another little person to the family.

Speaker 4

That's going to be I reckon that might be.

I agree with you, because I think that's just the way we are.

But I reckon we might get a bit of flak on that, I think because a lot of people do that, so many people do.

Speaker 3

It, it's more unacceptable thing.

And it's just like the you know when they you know, display the baby sex.

Speaker 2

Take a picture of the sonogram or whatever it is.

Suggest Yeah, so say, welcoming another little judge to the fair, but you don't need to do that really official linen picture.

And they're always in white linen.

Why are they always wearing linen?

Speaker 1

The photographers the other day, Trish, You know, we did give the boys.

We've given them Anglo names like Cooper and Jack, and they got John's at the end.

We should have given one of the boys, okay, an Italian Bruno.

Speaker 3

Or good at it now, Maria John's Antonio?

Who wants to be Antonio?

My dad would have loved that, I think, my poor dad.

All those daughters, not one, not one of us named any of our children, gave any of them Dad's name.

We were disappointed.

Not even a middle name.

Speaker 1

Boys, and probably Jack's the first one.

Speaker 3

That'd be nice.

Speaker 1

If you have a baby, feel free to call it Matt Jr.

Speaker 3

No Antonio, that would be lovely.

Speaker 1

Matt Junior.

Okay, what's the name I've just got.

Speaker 3

A couple of bad proposers I wanted to share.

There was a guy who staged his own abduction.

Speaker 4

I love it.

Speaker 2

That's pretty clover.

Speaker 3

He was with his partner in the car, got mates in Balaclava's to break in the car and take him like it was a real fake emergency before he then turned around to his terrified girlfriend and proposed to us.

Speaker 2

That's actually pretty good, filthy and angry.

That's like the movie Old School.

Yeah, Will Ferrell and that abduct all their pledges.

Speaker 1

For their stranger.

Tell me, what am I going to kill you?

Speaker 2

I love that You're going to spill that beer every.

Speaker 3

And Another one was the poor girl who was proposed to by her boyfriend on his birthday.

So he proposed to her on his birthday.

How was she going to say no?

Speaker 4

He wants to remember it every year, you remember his anniversary.

Speaker 2

That's I think that's clever.

Speaker 3

Yeah, but how did she have an option of saying no?

That's also maybe can I get back to you on that tomorrow?

Speaker 2

Anyway.

Speaker 1

I don't like that story.

Speaker 2

I couldn't even I couldn't even pretend to get into that last story.

I like the first one, though, let's do we got We've got a film fame, and we got three best proposal songs.

Speaker 3

Oh, I forgot about that.

Speaker 2

You wrote all of these questions and there were so many in there, and I looked at it and I thought, that ship, that ship, and that one's ship as well.

Speaker 1

The first one I'll do is Dolly Partons I Will Always Love You, of course made famous by Whitney Houston, but Dolly was the first, And and the other one on Dolly Dolly Parton theme her and Kenny Rodgers islands that a lot of people don't realize what that is.

Extream flowing, which is encompasses life and all of a sudden islands.

If you all have islands, I.

Speaker 4

Don't mind you having a do it.

You're very very spiritual.

Speaker 2

He's happy.

It's nice to see you happy, and it shouldn't alcohol shouldn't be the catalyst for you to be happy.

And the podcast it is, let.

Speaker 4

Me emphasize to it is first, so he still hasn't finished it.

Speaker 1

Yeah, And the other one, I'm just trying to think normally by the man who did I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll.

Great song.

Speaker 2

When you wrote this song, did you mean proposals in like you play it as she's walking down the aisle?

Yeah, Also so it's more in aisle song right, Island's in the Stream could work for that.

That's good one.

Speaker 1

And and I'll Always Love You well yeah sure if.

Speaker 2

Anyway, Okay, my number one was truly madly deeply.

Speaker 1

How good?

Speaker 2

Well, guys, thanks, thanks guys.

Have you enjoyed this episode?

Full of fun, love and just love?

Speaker 3

And do you know what the most important thing?

Can I just add with your with your proposal reflects something that your partner has mentioned in time, so that it symbolizes that you have this to them.

So, for example, my lovely nephew, Matthew proposed to his lovely girlfriend when they were away in Fiji recently now, some time ago, she had mentioned the fact that when Penguin's Emperor Penguin's propose, I don't know if they may propose or like tell them they want a mate anyway, they present them with their smoothest stone they couldn't find.

So when they're away in Fiji, he presented her with the smoothest stone, the fine yeah, and she kind of just looked at him and went skim it and said okay.

Then he froze and skimmed it into the water, and then they swam out to the pontoon in Mommy Bay, you know where we swam, and then he ended up proposing there, and then he explained to her that him giving the stone, the smooth stone was meant to symbolize.

Speaker 1

That Jo explaining it wasn't a joke, No, it wasn't.

Speaker 3

So then he had to dive back in and to try and find it.

Speaker 2

And well, he said, wrong with you, Chris, What is wrong with you sharing that information and dragging it out.

Speaker 1

As long as you did, it was going to be a great episode.

Speaker 3

Okay, clip it or cut it or whatever you like.

Speaker 2

Well, it's wedding season.

Everyone, have good fun.

There's weddings all year round.

November December.

What a great what a great end of the year.

Love everyone.

Speaker 1
