awkward situation with your boyfriend recently.

His name's Cody. We's been we've been dating for a
little over a year now. He's he's really great.
Speaker 6 (01:10):

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Yeah, we've been talking about moving in together once my
lease is up in a few months.
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Okay, so this is like, you're in this for the
long haul.
Speaker 4 (01:20):
Yeah, things, things has been great. A couple of weeks ago,
I got off to work at the end of the
day and Cody texted me that he was nearby and
asked if I wanted to grab dinner with him at
a restaurant there.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
Okay, this all sounds great and normal.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Yeah, just high, kind of a rough day at work.
It was just, you know, well, that's good timing.
Speaker 5 (01:40):
You're having a bad day, let me take you out.
That sounds like a great thing.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Yeah. It really cheered me up. So I go to
meet in there, and halfway into the meal, he gets
down on one knee and proposes to me.
Speaker 6 (01:53):
Oh my god, I got.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
It's like you were not expecting that at all the
way you tell this story.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
I was caught completely off guard. I was like, still
in my work clothes. I had no idea this was coming.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
She was in work clothes.
Speaker 6 (02:12):
I mean, her nails probably weren't done, like she didn't know.
Speaker 4 (02:15):
I just froze, like I totally froze. And then I
apologized and was like, oh, I'm sorry, this is just
so unexpected. Oh I just I made it so awkward.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Wait that was the first thing you said after.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
That was the first thing I said. So I'm still frozen,
and people are staring at us, like people eating at
the restaurant. All the servers at the restaurant have like
literally stopped working and they're like waiting to see what happens.
It's just so painful. And so he kind of stands
up and like says to me, like, hey, can we
go outside?
Speaker 7 (02:48):
Wow?
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Yeah, because in his mind he's just expecting yes, Oh
my god, of course, and the entire restaurant erupts into applause.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
He's more mature than me.
Speaker 7 (02:57):
I would have just started crying and like, I hate
you ran out of the restaurant.
Speaker 5 (03:01):
Well, she didn't say no. She did say no. Expected
like you're supposed to no yes.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Or no no.
Speaker 6 (03:08):
Why why do you think you didn't just say yes?
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I don't know. Maybe I got embarrassed. Okay, this isn't
something that we've ever talked about. We've never talked about rings.
I've never told him like, hey, you should ask my
sister if you're gonna do that.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
Wow, that sounds.
Speaker 5 (03:24):
Like it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
So at this point, he's standing up in the restaurant,
You're still frozen.
Speaker 4 (03:30):
And then what happens He asked changes like can we
go outside, like we can just talk to two of us,
and like I apologized again and was like, look, I
just was expecting this to maybe happen, like after we moved.
Speaker 8 (03:42):
In together, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
And then he was like, Okay, well can I try again?
And then he like got down on one meet. No,
it was just weird. There was someone's dogs like pooping
and it was just like.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Girl god, So he just failed.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, and so I just kind of like I got
down with him and was like hey, like and we
just like talk about this plate Like I don't know,
it just got It's just been so awkward. That was
two weeks ago, and like I want to fix it.
I don't know what to do. I need help. Like
he did something in a very vulnerable public way, and
(04:24):
I'm hoping going on the radio or talking to you
guys like maybe I keep grand just sure my way.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I gotta say, though, you should not feel guilty at all,
Like you know, as much as this guy sounds like
a hopeless romantic, like dude, you guys hadn't talked about it,
he's doing it in public. He's putting you under a
crazy amount of pressure.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But ring did you.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Get a look?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I mean, it's just like it's not very fair to you.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But the thing is, though, I really do want to
marry him, Like I did give him every signal that, like,
if he word to propose, I would say yes, even
though we didn't talk about it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You know, So you really feel that way, Jennifer. You
feel like you actually do want to marry this guy
and you're not. You don't just feel guilty because he
proposed and you want to make him feel better.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, I really want to marry him. I just was
like this awkward, Weirdoh I just ruined it and I
really want to fix it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Have you told him like, hey, I really do want
to marry you. That was just bad timing.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Because we haven't been hanging out in person, Like they
don't know how to say that over text, Like I
feel like that's not enough.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And now every time you see a dog on the
street going number two and it brings.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
You right back to that moment too.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Yeah, oh you're supposed to say no.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, man, so it sounds like we're going to be
calling your your boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Here he almost said, fiance, I say yes.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yet it's not quite there, but we're going to try
and help smooth things over with him and let him
know that you do really want to marry him.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
What okay this is I'm just making.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Sure this is a big, grand, romantic gesture, which obviously
he likes a lot.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Yes, yeah, play a song, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We'll give you a little bit of advice, and un
less you call your boyfriend when we do your awkward
Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Next, it's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Gotta say, I never thought we'd hear a more awkward
marriage proposal than what happened to Brook.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
And she got asked the big question in a swamp.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Oh, it was actually the high desert opposite.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay, out the romantic high desert next to the pile
of dead grass and tree.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Limbs and the vacant lot in the wilderness. But one
of our listeners, Brook just beats you.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
She got proposed to in a restaurant and she wasn't
prepared for it, so she told her guy, Wow, sorry,
this is just unexpected, and then he.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Took her outside and proposed to her again.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, all she could coasturre it on was a dog
pooping that was walking by.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
So she couldn't say yes to it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But now it's been two weeks and she wants to
let her boyfriend Cody know, I do really want to
marry you.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I just handled it wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, and hopefully we have some good advice before she
makes this phone call on how she can do that.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Brooke, what do you think you know?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
He is down, This man is at his ego is
at the lowest point it's probably ever been, and he
just needs some good ego stroking. You need to tell
him why you love him. You need to just lay
it on thick, building up, build him back up.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay, Okay, Yeah, I've never tried a compliment on him before.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
We'll see how that goes. I know, Hose, what do
you think?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I think we can all agree, especially you, that that
was a cringey moment, super cringey. I guarantee you he
has replayed that a million times over.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And over in his head.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
So my suggestion is, no matter what you do, don't
bring up what happened. Just focus on the now and
go from there.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Wow, that's what I really that's legit. Okay, yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Does that?
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Do you feel like that helps you?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I think that helped Okay, I've never heard anybody say
that we've helped them before.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I'm shocked and I don't know to sell.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I mean, how did this go wrong?
Speaker 9 (08:18):
Though?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Like he loves you, he wants to marry you. You
guys just weren't communicating correctly. You're going to let him
know you're on the same page, like this is going
to be fantastic.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
It's all you're breaking up with you.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
As long as no dogs walk by, then I think
we'll be good. So I'm going to dial his number
right now. We'll back away and let you do your thing.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Okay, thank you guys so much. I'm going to take
your advice. I'm going to start with the compliment to
kind of get things done.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
All right, good luck, We'll be here ready to jump
in when you need us. Here we go.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
Hello, Hi, honey, Oh hi babe, how are you? I
didn't recognize the number.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Oh yeah, I'm okay. It's so good to hear your voice.
It's so nice to hear your voice.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Yeah you too, how are you?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I'm okay?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
My day off?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, relaxing. I was actually looking at two pictures of
us from when we first met, and I was just thinking,
how you're even more handsome than you were when when
we met. I would say, you're like minimum twenty percent
more handsome, Like your stock's going up.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
Well, hold the phone because I just moved Okay, so
I'm moving furnish around it, and I moved that dresser
out from by the bed, and I put an extra
bedside table, so now there's one on your side too.
Thank you so much.

Oh my god, you have no idea. Oh my god,
how many times I've kicked over that water glass on
the ground.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
Thank you? All right, never again.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Well, now I won't wake you up in the middle
of the night.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
Thank you. You can though.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, I'm calling because I I just wanted to say
that I am. I am so sorry about what happened.
I didn't embarrass you. It's and I didn't react that
way because I'm not sure it wasn't because I don't
know what I want or I don't know if I
want that with you.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
It hasn't worry about it.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I wasn't expecting it like I had like my work
sneakers on, you know, like.
Speaker 8 (10:40):
I just like weren't like, no, I know, it's all
on me.
Speaker 9 (10:44):
It was all on me.
Speaker 8 (10:45):
I did not have like there's no rush, it's plenty
of time. I totally surprised you. We hadn't talked about
it before. So I just feel bad about that. So
don't even worry about it.

to marry you, right like.

Oh okay, well, I mean yes, yes, yes, but then
also no, you know, like it was yes, yes, yes,
until then I asked you to very I mean.
Speaker 4 (11:08):
And I know, but it was just I'm not just
saying that though, like like I guess what I'm trying
to say is is I I'm want you to ask
me again.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Oh okay, Well that's different because I wasn't planning to
do that and again anytime. So when I'm a little druma.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I just wasn't ready in the moment. I just knew it,
but not because I wasn't sure about you. Yep, okay,
will you give me another chance?
Speaker 8 (11:44):
Yes, But here's the deal. If all right, if you
want to be engaged to me, we gotta go the
other way. We got to reverse it. What hell many
chance you're gonna.
Speaker 5 (11:59):
Have to ask me.
Speaker 8 (12:03):
Kidding right, No, no, No, that's it. I've been doing
it already, and you know I've been thinking about it.

bit weird about the whole situation.

Speaker 5 (14:03):
Yeah? Yeah, it is about it, Jennifer.
Speaker 6 (14:06):
Why did you just propose to him?
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Because I loved him and he asked him to and
I want to marry him, Like I want to marry.
Speaker 7 (14:14):

you got to go get a ring for him.

Speaker 4 (14:20):
For a hand, not even not you just don't do
it over the phone.
Speaker 5 (14:23):

Speaker 8 (15:04):
No offense to the radio people of the world, but
I think I could come up with something a little
more romantic than that.

We have a bed of music that we can play.
Speaker 5 (15:15):
We can play whatever music you want. Yeah, random, let's
pick something. Yeah, you're not going to get that anywhere else.
Speaker 9 (15:21):

I appreciate it. But now I'm gonna have to do
something that somehow that tops the previous thing that I did.
Speaker 6 (15:27):
Okay, I think. I don't think you have to work
hard for that code. Just do it in private, okay.
Speaker 5 (15:34):
Yeah, do it in front of that new bedside table.
Just bedside tables.

Speaker 8 (03:42):
In together, you know.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
And then he was like, Okay, well can I try again?
And then he like got down on one meet. No,
it was just weird. There was someone's dogs like pooping
and it was just like.
Speaker 6 (03:58):
Girl god, So he just failed.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Yeah, and so I just kind of like I got
down with him and was like hey, like and we
just like talk about this plate Like I don't know,
it just got It's just been so awkward. That was
two weeks ago, and like I want to fix it.
I don't know what to do. I need help. Like
he did something in a very vulnerable public way, and
(04:24):
I'm hoping going on the radio or talking to you
guys like maybe I keep grand just sure my way.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I gotta say, though, you should not feel guilty at all,
Like you know, as much as this guy sounds like
a hopeless romantic, like dude, you guys hadn't talked about it,
he's doing it in public. He's putting you under a
crazy amount of pressure.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
But ring did you.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
Get a look?
Speaker 6 (04:49):
I mean, it's just like it's not very fair to you.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (04:53):
But the thing is, though, I really do want to
marry him, Like I did give him every signal that, like,
if he word to propose, I would say yes, even
though we didn't talk about it.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
You know, So you really feel that way, Jennifer. You
feel like you actually do want to marry this guy
and you're not. You don't just feel guilty because he
proposed and you want to make him feel better.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
No, I really want to marry him. I just was
like this awkward, Weirdoh I just ruined it and I
really want to fix it.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Have you told him like, hey, I really do want
to marry you. That was just bad timing.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Because we haven't been hanging out in person, Like they
don't know how to say that over text, Like I
feel like that's not enough.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
And now every time you see a dog on the
street going number two and it brings.
Speaker 5 (05:34):
You right back to that moment too.
Speaker 4 (05:36):
Yeah, oh you're supposed to say no.
Speaker 5 (05:39):
All right?
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Well, man, so it sounds like we're going to be
calling your your boyfriend.
Speaker 6 (05:44):
Here he almost said, fiance, I say yes.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
Yet it's not quite there, but we're going to try
and help smooth things over with him and let him
know that you do really want to marry him.
Speaker 5 (05:53):
What okay this is I'm just making.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
Sure this is a big, grand, romantic gesture, which obviously
he likes a lot.
Speaker 5 (05:58):
Yes, yeah, play a song, we'll come back.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
We'll give you a little bit of advice, and un
less you call your boyfriend when we do your awkward
Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Next, it's awkward. It's Tuesday. It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 2 (06:13):
Gotta say, I never thought we'd hear a more awkward
marriage proposal than what happened to Brook.
Speaker 5 (06:19):
And she got asked the big question in a swamp.
Speaker 6 (06:23):
Oh, it was actually the high desert opposite.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Okay, out the romantic high desert next to the pile
of dead grass and tree.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
Limbs and the vacant lot in the wilderness. But one
of our listeners, Brook just beats you.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
She got proposed to in a restaurant and she wasn't
prepared for it, so she told her guy, Wow, sorry,
this is just unexpected, and then he.
Speaker 5 (06:50):
Took her outside and proposed to her again.
Speaker 3 (06:54):
Well, all she could coasturre it on was a dog
pooping that was walking by.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
So she couldn't say yes to it.
Speaker 2 (07:01):
But now it's been two weeks and she wants to
let her boyfriend Cody know, I do really want to
marry you.
Speaker 5 (07:07):
I just handled it wrong.
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Yeah, and hopefully we have some good advice before she
makes this phone call on how she can do that.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Brooke, what do you think you know?
Speaker 3 (07:15):
He is down, This man is at his ego is
at the lowest point it's probably ever been, and he
just needs some good ego stroking. You need to tell
him why you love him. You need to just lay
it on thick, building up, build him back up.
Speaker 9 (07:30):
Man.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Yeah, I can do that.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Okay, Okay, Yeah, I've never tried a compliment on him before.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
We'll see how that goes. I know, Hose, what do
you think?
Speaker 7 (07:42):
I think we can all agree, especially you, that that
was a cringey moment, super cringey. I guarantee you he
has replayed that a million times over.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
And over in his head.
Speaker 7 (07:51):
So my suggestion is, no matter what you do, don't
bring up what happened. Just focus on the now and
go from there.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (07:58):
Wow, that's what I really that's legit. Okay, yeah?
Speaker 8 (08:04):
Does that?
Speaker 5 (08:05):
Do you feel like that helps you?
Speaker 4 (08:07):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:07):
I think that helped Okay, I've never heard anybody say
that we've helped them before.
Speaker 5 (08:13):
I'm shocked and I don't know to sell.
Speaker 6 (08:17):
I mean, how did this go wrong?
Speaker 9 (08:18):
Though?
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Like he loves you, he wants to marry you. You
guys just weren't communicating correctly. You're going to let him
know you're on the same page, like this is going
to be fantastic.
Speaker 5 (08:26):
It's all you're breaking up with you.
Speaker 2 (08:27):
As long as no dogs walk by, then I think
we'll be good. So I'm going to dial his number
right now. We'll back away and let you do your thing.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Okay, thank you guys so much. I'm going to take
your advice. I'm going to start with the compliment to
kind of get things done.
Speaker 5 (08:41):
All right, good luck, We'll be here ready to jump
in when you need us. Here we go.
Speaker 8 (08:55):
Hello, Hi, honey, Oh hi babe, how are you? I
didn't recognize the number.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Oh yeah, I'm okay. It's so good to hear your voice.
It's so nice to hear your voice.
Speaker 8 (09:09):
Yeah you too, how are you?
Speaker 4 (09:12):
I'm okay?
Speaker 2 (09:14):
My day off?
Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah, relaxing. I was actually looking at two pictures of
us from when we first met, and I was just thinking,
how you're even more handsome than you were when when
we met. I would say, you're like minimum twenty percent
more handsome, Like your stock's going up.
Speaker 8 (09:37):
Well, hold the phone because I just moved Okay, so
I'm moving furnish around it, and I moved that dresser
out from by the bed, and I put an extra
bedside table, so now there's one on your side too.
Thank you so much.
Speaker 4 (09:52):
Oh my god, you have no idea. Oh my god,
how many times I've kicked over that water glass on
the ground.
Speaker 8 (09:59):
Thank you? All right, never again.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Well, now I won't wake you up in the middle
of the night.
Speaker 8 (10:04):
Thank you. You can though.
Speaker 4 (10:12):
Yeah, I'm calling because I I just wanted to say
that I am. I am so sorry about what happened.
I didn't embarrass you. It's and I didn't react that
way because I'm not sure it wasn't because I don't
know what I want or I don't know if I
want that with you.
Speaker 8 (10:32):
It hasn't worry about it.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
I wasn't expecting it like I had like my work
sneakers on, you know, like.

I just like weren't like, no, I know, it's all
on me.
Speaker 9 (10:44):

Speaker 8 (10:45):
I did not have like there's no rush, it's plenty
of time. I totally surprised you. We hadn't talked about
it before. So I just feel bad about that. So
don't even worry about it.

to marry you, right like.

to say is is I I'm want you to ask
me again.
Speaker 8 (11:20):
Oh okay, Well that's different because I wasn't planning to
do that and again anytime. So when I'm a little druma.
Speaker 4 (11:32):
I just wasn't ready in the moment. I just knew it,
but not because I wasn't sure about you. Yep, okay,
will you give me another chance?

want to be engaged to me, we gotta go the
other way. We got to reverse it. What hell many
chance you're gonna.

hard for that code. Just do it in private, okay.
