Speaker 4 (00:47):
When was the last time you heard news that actually
made you happy? Oh?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
Boy? Oh, you say the word news and I get
to press.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
It does happen?
Speaker 4 (00:58):
And I know for Alexis it was when Claw came

Taste and find out. For Jose was getting his negative
test results back. Yeah, that was a big day.
Speaker 3 (01:17):

Speaker 4 (01:18):
She was thrilled when authorities decided to hold off on
the search warrant. But don't worry, Michael, Someday somebody will
find you a promise. Well, today, one of our listeners
is about to get some fantastic news because his wife
went on a girls trip to Vegas and maybe one
(01:38):
of the best things ever just happened to her. You're

brand new awkward Tuesday phone call next.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
It's awkward.
Speaker 5 (01:49):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
When you think of awkward Tuesday, I know a lot
of us, including our listeners, probably think, uh oh, it's
cringe time. Yeah, like when Uncle Ivan lost his tooth
in the chocolate fountain. How do you tell somebody, Hey,
I think you may have eaten my tooth.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
Yes, it's not a marshmallow floating.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Yes, why is the tooth floating?
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Cringey for sure, But it doesn't always have to be
that way on this show. For this segment and today's
proof because one of our listeners, Jamie wants to share
some surprising but good news.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
For once, we could be happier to help.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
So, Jamie, you do realize the last three people that
we had on this segment cried after the show.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So are you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yes, yes, I'm sure okay.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
And one of the people crying was me.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm hoping that it's like cry with happy tears. I
love crying that way. I mean, doesn't she have a surprise.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Right, Hopefully there's no crying at all. That's what I would.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Every emotion through tears.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Okay, not everybody's as emotionally unstable as So let's ask Jamie,
why did you email us for help today?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Okay? So the other week, me and five of my
close girlfriends we had to like get away. Its like
a four to five day getaway. Fun for you, Yeah,
thank you. It was awesome. We were in Home Springs
and while we were there, we decided one day we
(03:26):
were going to go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Okay, that's my home away from home.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, I mean because like, Palm Springs is fun and
there's like nightlife, but it's not like Vegas nightlife.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah. And we're just there for a day and it
got to be eleven pm, so it's really late, and
I was like, all right, good night, you know. But
then my other girl my girlfriends though, were like, let's gamble.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, you're in Vegas, come, you're going to bed at
eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, why aren't you on the slot? Why are you sleeping?
And you get free drinks while you gamble? All right?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Well I was I, you know, I've never really gambled,
and I don't know the rules. So I was like,
let's just go to bed.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Sorry, don't we don't mean to shame you for your trip.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
One friend in the.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Group those is right, there's always the one.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, I'm not one friend. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
But he was convinced to go gambling.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, so then I was convinced to go with him. Right,
And they're playing Blackjack, uh huh yeah, And I was like,
I do not know this game. So I just sat
at a slot machine. I just watched and I was
sitting there for a while, and then all of a sudden,
this guy I was pretty sure was carrat Top started
hitting on me.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Okay, if anybody doesn't know, carrat Top's been like performing,
he's a comedian of prop comic in Vegas for like
thirty years.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
He's like super muscly now, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And they call him because of his red hair.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Well okay, well it looked a lot like him, but
it wasn't. I don't think it was him.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Okay, Okay, I mean it would probably be hard for
Carrot Top to go anywhere in Vegas. I think that
it's kind of iconic.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You would have a team of bodyguards.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, okay, I'm just sad how much we know about Carrots.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Okay, So some guy that looks like Carrot Tops hitting
on you by the slots.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah, and you know I wasn't having it, you know,
because I have a husband and it's car Top looking
like guys.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So I know.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I moved to a different slot machine, you know, away
from my girlfriends, and I was bored because they were
playing forever and so I decided to play the slot machine.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
As one does.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, that's how they get you.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And all of a sudden, it started like freaking out,
like it was like thing bang bomb, you know, like
freaking going really crazy.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
What can I make those noises again?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Bang bang?
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I feel like I'm there. So what did you?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What did you win?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I won fifteen thousand dollars?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Whoa and you we're going to go to bed that night.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, now the party's really odd. Yeah, that's top money.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
That is. I was freaking out in all sorts of ways,
and I was away from my girlfriends, so they didn't
even see that I want it. So a lot of
stuff was going through my mind. Okay. So one, I
wanted to tell my husband, but it's like way too
late at this point because it wakes up really early.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, who cares? You just won fifteen grands.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yeah, you're right, you know. I guess looking back, I
probably should have just gone for it. But you know,
number two, I wanted to like tell my girlfriends right away,
but they would text their husbands because they don't care,
and they'd wake them up and tell them, and then
their husband would tell my husband. Okay, and I didn't
want to ruin the surprise that way.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Yeah, you could surprise all of them in the morning
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
That's actually cool.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
I like it the way of thinking, right.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah. So I was like, Okay, I'm gonna take the
stub home because yeah, exactly, I think it'd be fun
to come back down with my husband and catch it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Then you are trusting yourself to hold on to a
little piece of paper that says you're owed fifteen thousand dollars?
Are you joking me?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I never put it down. It was like in my
hands at all times. I was afraid to do good.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
And so wait, you you haven't told your friends or
your husband about this yet?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I want wait, is this the awkward part? We're gonna
call and tell them. You're gonna tell them?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So I want you guys to help me tell my husband, Nicky, we.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Are actually gonna make someone dead.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yes, it's just a bad time to let you know.
We do have a fifteen thousand dollars surprise. Okay, now
this is actually really exciting. We never get to deliver
news like this.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Hold on, it's still awkward Tuesday. We're not just gonna
call and say, hey, buddy, surprise.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Are we gonna like, we gotta give her some advice?
How are we going to say?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's what our jobs are.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We're going to play a song.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We're going to think about what you just said.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Bad news first, well.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Thanks to some ideas, hopefully some better ones than that,
and we'll come back. We'll give you our advice and
let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call and tell
your husband you just won fifteen grand and Vegas?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
All right, hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
It's awkward, Tuesday.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Phone call.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now, Yes, how.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Do you surprise your husband with the news that you
won fifteen grand on a slot machine during a girl's
trip in Las Vegas?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Excited?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Do you want to just do like a trail of
dollar bills to the bed and sends.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, I guess we want to be weird about it.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I personally would recommend you hire Carrot Top to do
it for you, but if you can't afford him, then
you go with the cheapo. Sure, the much much cheaper option.
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yea, yeah, you free ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
We might not have cool, wacky props or big orange hair,
but we have a secret weapon.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
What's that, alexis what?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
What's your idea?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
No, I'm the secret weapon.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
That's not good for you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
What would I do to surprise someone?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I would yep, so you get what you pay for
with and Jeffy and she's.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Going to spoil a surprise. I probably would have spent
it all already.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Is new because I bought it Okay, that's for you, Brook,
Maybe you have something.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well, Okay, I just think you gotta be careful about
the way you deliver this because you know, if my
husband came home from a Vegas trip and said, honey,
I have something to tell you, immediately, my gut sinks
and I am having like alarm nis going off, Like
I just think you need to lead with like this
is good news.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll try to remember that. I'm
really nervous right now.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, this is great. Tell him it's good news.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Good.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Hey, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Mine's a lot more fun?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
You saying when you get on the phone, right, you
tell him I have a huge surprise.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But he has to guess with just one hint. That's
when you start doing the jackpots sound effects.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yesses.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Then you say yes, you're right, we got fairty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yes, and if he gets it wrong, then the marriage
is over an ultimato, Yeah, there has to be something.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It's safe that way.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You did listen to her jackpot sound effects. They don't
sound like a jackpot at all.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well, who said it was going to be easy?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Maybe her husband knows her better than anybody, and understand
what it means.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
More fun at least, right, at the very least.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
We have a funny sound effect that we can play
in the middle, So that's going to be our backup plan.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You feel ready to do.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
This, Jamie, Oh my gosh. Okay, so just smile and
make their noises. Yeah, okay, we'll see what comes out.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
All right, I'm gonna die your husband's number and you
can tell them that you're a fifteen thousand air now.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, okay you.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Who? Hey, babe, Oh hey, are you busy right now?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I'm at work, but you know.
Speaker 5 (11:38):
Yeah, are you having a good day?
Speaker 2 (11:40):
It's work?
Speaker 7 (11:41):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I actually have to tell you something. I'll try to
make it quick. I know I told you that we
went to Vegas, you know, me and the girls. But
there's something I did not tell you.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
What What didn't you tell me?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
What do you mean me? Okay? Sorry, I'm like so
nervous right now. I'm just I'm I'm really bad at surprises.
I'm just okay. Yeah, just promise you.
Speaker 7 (12:14):
I promise I won't be mad.
Speaker 5 (12:15):
Yeah, there's something I didn't tell you that.
Speaker 7 (12:18):
Why why would I know? It makes you? I'm like scared.
Now I'm like, did you did you like drunkenly hook
up with someone?
Speaker 5 (12:25):
No, no, honey, I would never cheat on you. But no,
there was actually this guy that looks like Cartop. He
looked like him.
Speaker 7 (12:33):
I wasn't actually, Oh my god, tell me you screwed
Cara Top.

So, yeah, I didn't know what I was doing, but
while I was at the slot machine, I ended up
winning a bunch of money.
Speaker 7 (13:29):
Shut up, you did not.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
I'm serious. I want a really big jackpot.
Speaker 7 (13:36):
You're lying. There's no way you would have told me
right away.
Speaker 5 (13:40):
Oh come on, I wanted to surprise you, and I
didn't want to not any the girls because they know
they would have blabbed their husband. So I waited, Wait,

up like there was this huge jackpot. I thought she

or something.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
I don't.
Speaker 3 (15:13):
Actually took her sales.
Speaker 2 (15:14):

Yes, it's not a marshmallow floating.

that way on this show. For this segment and today's
proof because one of our listeners, Jamie wants to share
some surprising but good news.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
For once, we could be happier to help.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
So, Jamie, you do realize the last three people that
we had on this segment cried after the show.
Speaker 2 (02:41):
So are you sure you want to do this?
Speaker 5 (02:43):
Yes, yes, I'm sure okay.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
And one of the people crying was me.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
I'm hoping that it's like cry with happy tears. I
love crying that way. I mean, doesn't she have a surprise.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Right, Hopefully there's no crying at all. That's what I would.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Every emotion through tears.
Speaker 4 (02:59):
Okay, not everybody's as emotionally unstable as So let's ask Jamie,
why did you email us for help today?
Speaker 5 (03:05):
Okay? So the other week, me and five of my
close girlfriends we had to like get away. Its like
a four to five day getaway. Fun for you, Yeah,
thank you. It was awesome. We were in Home Springs
and while we were there, we decided one day we
(03:26):
were going to go to Las Vegas.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Okay, that's my home away from home.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
Yeah, I mean because like, Palm Springs is fun and
there's like nightlife, but it's not like Vegas nightlife.
Speaker 5 (03:37):
Yeah. And we're just there for a day and it
got to be eleven pm, so it's really late, and
I was like, all right, good night, you know. But
then my other girl my girlfriends though, were like, let's gamble.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Yeah, you're in Vegas, come, you're going to bed at
eleven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Yeah, why aren't you on the slot? Why are you sleeping?
And you get free drinks while you gamble? All right?
Speaker 5 (04:00):
Well I was I, you know, I've never really gambled,
and I don't know the rules. So I was like,
let's just go to bed.
Speaker 2 (04:07):
Sorry, don't we don't mean to shame you for your trip.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
One friend in the.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Group those is right, there's always the one.
Speaker 5 (04:14):
Yeah, I'm not one friend. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
But he was convinced to go gambling.
Speaker 5 (04:18):
Yeah, so then I was convinced to go with him. Right,
And they're playing Blackjack, uh huh yeah, And I was like,
I do not know this game. So I just sat
at a slot machine. I just watched and I was
sitting there for a while, and then all of a sudden,
this guy I was pretty sure was carrat Top started
hitting on me.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
Oh my gosh.
Speaker 6 (04:41):
Okay, if anybody doesn't know, carrat Top's been like performing,
he's a comedian of prop comic in Vegas for like
thirty years.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
He's like super muscly now, yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
And they call him because of his red hair.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Well okay, well it looked a lot like him, but
it wasn't. I don't think it was him.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Okay, Okay, I mean it would probably be hard for
Carrot Top to go anywhere in Vegas. I think that
it's kind of iconic.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You would have a team of bodyguards.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Yeah, okay, I'm just sad how much we know about Carrots.
Speaker 4 (05:13):
Okay, So some guy that looks like Carrot Tops hitting
on you by the slots.
Speaker 5 (05:17):
Yeah, and you know I wasn't having it, you know,
because I have a husband and it's car Top looking
like guys.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
So I know.
Speaker 5 (05:25):
I moved to a different slot machine, you know, away
from my girlfriends, and I was bored because they were
playing forever and so I decided to play the slot machine.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
As one does.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
Yeah, that's how they get you.
Speaker 5 (05:38):
And all of a sudden, it started like freaking out,
like it was like thing bang bomb, you know, like
freaking going really crazy.
Speaker 4 (05:45):
What can I make those noises again?
Speaker 5 (05:53):
Bang bang?
Speaker 7 (05:53):
Whatever?
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I feel like I'm there. So what did you?
Speaker 1 (06:00):
What did you win?
Speaker 5 (06:01):
I won fifteen thousand dollars?
Speaker 6 (06:04):
Whoa and you we're going to go to bed that night.
Speaker 2 (06:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:10):
Oh, now the party's really odd. Yeah, that's top money.
Speaker 5 (06:15):
That is. I was freaking out in all sorts of ways,
and I was away from my girlfriends, so they didn't
even see that I want it. So a lot of
stuff was going through my mind. Okay. So one, I
wanted to tell my husband, but it's like way too
late at this point because it wakes up really early.
Speaker 1 (06:30):
Well, who cares? You just won fifteen grands.
Speaker 5 (06:34):
Yeah, you're right, you know. I guess looking back, I
probably should have just gone for it. But you know,
number two, I wanted to like tell my girlfriends right away,
but they would text their husbands because they don't care,
and they'd wake them up and tell them, and then
their husband would tell my husband. Okay, and I didn't
want to ruin the surprise that way.
Speaker 6 (06:50):
Yeah, you could surprise all of them in the morning
at the same time.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
That's actually cool.
Speaker 7 (06:56):
I like it the way of thinking, right.
Speaker 5 (06:59):
Yeah. So I was like, Okay, I'm gonna take the
stub home because yeah, exactly, I think it'd be fun
to come back down with my husband and catch it.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Oh yeah, and.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Then you are trusting yourself to hold on to a
little piece of paper that says you're owed fifteen thousand dollars?
Are you joking me?
Speaker 5 (07:16):
I never put it down. It was like in my
hands at all times. I was afraid to do good.
Speaker 4 (07:22):
And so wait, you you haven't told your friends or
your husband about this yet?
Speaker 1 (07:27):
No?
Speaker 3 (07:28):
I want wait, is this the awkward part? We're gonna
call and tell them. You're gonna tell them?
Speaker 5 (07:33):
So I want you guys to help me tell my husband, Nicky, we.
Speaker 3 (07:42):
Are actually gonna make someone dead.
Speaker 4 (07:45):
Yes, it's just a bad time to let you know.
We do have a fifteen thousand dollars surprise. Okay, now
this is actually really exciting. We never get to deliver
news like this.
Speaker 6 (07:55):
Hold on, it's still awkward Tuesday. We're not just gonna
call and say, hey, buddy, surprise.
Speaker 3 (07:59):
Are we gonna like, we gotta give her some advice?
How are we going to say?
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's what our jobs are.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
We're going to play a song.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
We're going to think about what you just said.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
Bad news first, well.
Speaker 4 (08:11):
Thanks to some ideas, hopefully some better ones than that,
and we'll come back. We'll give you our advice and
let you make your awkward Tuesday phone call and tell
your husband you just won fifteen grand and Vegas?
Speaker 7 (08:22):
Thank you?
Speaker 2 (08:23):
All right, hold on, it's awkward.
Speaker 7 (08:27):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
It's awkward, Tuesday.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Phone call.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Now, Yes, how.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
Do you surprise your husband with the news that you
won fifteen grand on a slot machine during a girl's
trip in Las Vegas?
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Excited?
Speaker 1 (08:45):
Do you want to just do like a trail of
dollar bills to the bed and sends.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah, I guess we want to be weird about it.
Speaker 4 (08:52):
I personally would recommend you hire Carrot Top to do
it for you, but if you can't afford him, then
you go with the cheapo. Sure, the much much cheaper option.
Brook and Jeffrey in the morning.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
Yea, yeah, you free ninety nine.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
We might not have cool, wacky props or big orange hair,
but we have a secret weapon.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
What's that, alexis what?
Speaker 2 (09:15):
What's your idea?
Speaker 5 (09:16):
No, I'm the secret weapon.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
That's not good for you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I'm sorry.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
What do you think?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
What would I do to surprise someone?
Speaker 2 (09:25):
I would yep, so you get what you pay for
with and Jeffy and she's.
Speaker 3 (09:29):
Going to spoil a surprise. I probably would have spent
it all already.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Is new because I bought it Okay, that's for you, Brook,
Maybe you have something.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Well, Okay, I just think you gotta be careful about
the way you deliver this because you know, if my
husband came home from a Vegas trip and said, honey,
I have something to tell you, immediately, my gut sinks
and I am having like alarm nis going off, Like
I just think you need to lead with like this
is good news.
Speaker 5 (10:01):
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'll try to remember that. I'm
really nervous right now.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Okay, this is great. Tell him it's good news.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Good.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
Hey, what do you think?
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Mine's a lot more fun?
Speaker 6 (10:13):
You saying when you get on the phone, right, you
tell him I have a huge surprise.
Speaker 3 (10:18):
But he has to guess with just one hint. That's
when you start doing the jackpots sound effects.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yesses.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Then you say yes, you're right, we got fairty thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (10:31):
Yes, and if he gets it wrong, then the marriage
is over an ultimato, Yeah, there has to be something.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
It's safe that way.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
You did listen to her jackpot sound effects. They don't
sound like a jackpot at all.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Well, who said it was going to be easy?
Speaker 5 (10:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Maybe her husband knows her better than anybody, and understand
what it means.
Speaker 3 (10:50):
More fun at least, right, at the very least.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
We have a funny sound effect that we can play
in the middle, So that's going to be our backup plan.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
You feel ready to do.
Speaker 5 (10:59):
This, Jamie, Oh my gosh. Okay, so just smile and
make their noises. Yeah, okay, we'll see what comes out.
Speaker 4 (11:10):
All right, I'm gonna die your husband's number and you
can tell them that you're a fifteen thousand air now.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Yeah, okay you.
Speaker 5 (11:27):
Who? Hey, babe, Oh hey, are you busy right now?
Speaker 7 (11:34):
I'm at work, but you know.

It's work?
Speaker 7 (11:41):
So yeah, yeah, yeah, what's going on?
Speaker 5 (11:46):
I actually have to tell you something. I'll try to
make it quick. I know I told you that we
went to Vegas, you know, me and the girls. But
there's something I did not tell you.
Speaker 7 (12:00):
What What didn't you tell me?
Speaker 5 (12:02):
What do you mean me? Okay? Sorry, I'm like so
nervous right now. I'm just I'm I'm really bad at surprises.
I'm just okay. Yeah, just promise you.
Speaker 7 (12:14):

Speaker 5 (13:32):
I'm serious. I want a really big jackpot.
