Yeah, that's gonna be great. I feel that.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I feel like there's a lot of well, remakes have
been a thing for a while now, but a lot
of like the iconic characters are coming back.

Speaker 4 (00:38):
They should they should ask the director of Wicked to direct.

Speaker 3 (00:44):
Oh, the guy from Crazy Rotesians.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
Yes, yeah, I can't think of his name right now.

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Chew John Chow John Yeah, that yeah, he makes He's
made other movies and they all turn out amazing in
my opinion.

Speaker 3 (00:58):
I mean, yeah, Alice in Wonderland would be a trip?
Are you kidding me?

Speaker 5 (01:01):
Isn't that one movie Maleficent?

Speaker 4 (01:03):
Is that like the reverse of Alice in Wonderland, and
I think of someone else.

Speaker 3 (01:08):
No, I think that was Is it snow White.

Speaker 2 (01:10):
Sleeping Beauty, Oh, sleeping Beauty or Cinderella Sleeping Beauty?

Speaker 3 (01:16):
Sleeping Beauty? Almost positive, we're gonna have to fact to.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
Just because I remember that movie came out and they
had like two or three of them, but there was
an actress in it who was.

Speaker 5 (01:25):
Technically sleeping beauty. But this is different.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
Yeah, it was sleeping Beauty, but no, no, this one's
Alice in Wonderland.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
That's gonna be kind of fun. I like that. I know.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Well, they always talk about how whoever, like did the
original Alice in Wonderland must have been on something because
there are just so many moments.

Speaker 6 (01:39):
With Well, the whole story is. The whole story is
basically about you know, it's like a drug thing.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
I've actually never really like it. I don't know if
it actually is, but it is.

Speaker 5 (01:48):
I think.

Speaker 3 (01:49):
Is it that makes that makes sense? You've never seen
Alice in Wonderland?

Speaker 4 (01:52):
No, Oh, I know it can work crazy, So honestly,
I can kind of see it as like a really
crazy trip where a guy, just me and you, we're talking.
That's the other day people who make like Disney movies
and like the crazy ones has to have to be
on something, but like, for sure, they're definitely something else
is going on when they're making those movies and they
turn out to be the coolest movies.

Speaker 3 (02:13):
To thank them, thank them for making enjoyable for the
whole family.

Speaker 5 (02:17):
It is you wild.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
This on the other hand, also wild. Okay, So this
woman is trending. The story is going everywhere, and people
are chiming in on whether or not they think this
woman was justified for turning down her boyfriend's marriage proposal.
He proposed to her with a nine hundred dollars ring
from Walmart that's so expensive that actually isn't the main
reason why she's claiming to have turned him down. She's
saying she turned him down because he doesn't listen to her.

(02:41):
The ring looked nothing like the type of ring that
she described to him that she wanted.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
And the ones she wanted to never receeet that came
from Walmart.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
That was probably that had to be part of it,
but she says that he didn't really hear her. She
wants to have somebody that sees her, not just like
get proposed to.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
So the Internet of I did.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Actually, some are saying she should just be happy because
he loves her and he went through all of that,
and then others are calling him out because it was
a Walmart ring because he didn't listen and Walmart ring though, yeah,
and Walmart ring, of course.

Speaker 5 (03:11):
I feel like the Walmart part.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
If you take that out of it, it's still a
ring that if you guys talked about it, and I
know what I want on my hand, like we talked
about it, that kind of rus you don't listen. Now,
is that the only example of not listening or are
there other ones?

Speaker 6 (03:25):
Yeah, I'm sure there's other, probably many, I would imagine,
But if you're wearing.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
The reminder for you know, you're the rest of your
life with this person that they did not listen to
you with that ring, I.

Speaker 3 (03:37):
Don't know, and I don't like that. It's like I
feel about you.

Speaker 6 (03:40):
If you like normally, if you're going to get engaged something,
people talk about it, you know, like what kind of
ring do you want? Things like that, you know, and
if you don't get something that is kind of going
for looking like what they want. I would understand that
if somebody were posing to me, i'd be like, that's
not at all what I said that I liked when
we talked about it.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
You know, Yeah, it's different, you know if you don't
have the conversation and you hate the ring different.

Speaker 6 (04:01):
Yeah, I Like some people are like, she should just
be happy with it whatever, no matter what.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
But if you talked about it.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Also, no, why should she if not what she wants?

Speaker 6 (04:10):
A why should she just be happy that somebody is
getting asking her to marry Yes?

Speaker 3 (04:15):
Say a loud right?

Speaker 5 (04:17):
Also why don't you have to say yes? Maybe she
just doesn't want to marry him?

Speaker 3 (04:20):
Well, she does, She just says that she wants him
to know, so she still wants to.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
I mean, I think if you're saying no because the
dude doesn't listen to you, probably just say no for good. Yeah,
she does say no. She did say no. But did
she still with him though? She just wants him to
listen more, and like.

Speaker 3 (04:33):
I don't know if they're actually still together.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
It doesn't say he's still confused in trying to understand
what the problem is because he worked really hard. So
there's this whole text exchange where he's like, I don't
get it, are you for real?

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Right now?

Speaker 6 (04:44):
It sounds like maybe, you know, maybe they should just
move on and find other people.

Speaker 5 (04:48):
Yeah, that's sounds it's such.

Speaker 6 (04:51):
A typical like dude response to like, I don't get it.
I worked hard to get this ring. You should like
it no matter what.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
And she's like, no, I don't think you understand.

Speaker 3 (05:01):
This is a lesson for everybody listening to the story.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
Listen, but I will say, sorry, this is a thing
I'm realizing with not only just guys, but kind of
a guy like they can't read your minds, but also
like guys.

Speaker 5 (05:15):
Like if you had need clarification, ask for it.

Speaker 2 (05:19):
That's like, yeah, that's true, that's basic communication.

Speaker 6 (05:22):
You're right, And also communicate like if you're like, hey,
I don't want to buy the boogie ring you want.
I want to buy a nine hundred dollars Walmart ring
and that's what you're gonna get if you're with me, Ay,
so which communicate.

Speaker 3 (05:31):
That, say it like it is, and then go but
which one should?

Speaker 4 (05:34):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (05:34):
But which Walmart ring do you want? And I'm not
spending more than nine hundred dollars? You can pick it
out though, Yeah, I mean you might as well just
communicate that and then look, then you don't have to
go like, but I worked hard to buy that ring.

Speaker 1 (05:44):
Nine under Boks is all I had and you should
have just said yes.

Speaker 3 (05:46):
He Fromise. We really worked through this guys. They should
pay us for it. That is what's trending Hardy
