Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and Demanda podcast.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Get on down to the j and A Arms for
the Jonesy Amanda Arms. We like to call it for
the pub test for pub test.

Speaker 1 (00:09):
Top test does not past the pub test, hub test tests,
up test, shun test, the pub.

Speaker 3 (00:14):
Test doesn't pass the sniff test.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Stop it, it's not helpful. This lady has blown up
TikTok for criticizing her husband's effort on Valentine's Day.

Speaker 3 (00:24):
His effort enough. What's happened is she has said, quietly
because he's in the next room, and she said, he
knows We've been married for years. He knows I don't
like the color purple, he knows I'm on a diet.
And the gift was just all this purple paper, a
whole lot of chocolates, and a Teddy bear or like
a small bear thing that was purple. And you think,

(00:48):
how ungracious of her to complain. But her point, I guess,
is this effort, just making an effort, isn't really enough
when they'd be married for a number of years and
he knows these things about it but doesn't care enough
to do anything about it.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I'd say he put a lot of care into that
to get the bag, he had to get the chalks
and little Teddy Bear on the car.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
But she this is what a lot of women want
to feel, seen and know.

Speaker 2 (01:14):
Will I'd say, she's seen and known. What do you want?

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Well, how do you feel? Does just the effort past
the pub test?

Speaker 1 (01:23):
No, it doesn't, because he was well aware that she
didn't like the color purple, and she was on a diet,
and I think it was deliberate.

Speaker 4 (01:32):
One year I'd done the Woolworth flowers and for the
next seven years go suffered, So now I have to
make an effort.

Speaker 5 (01:39):
So, yes, it's part of the pubs. Well, no, I
don't think it does. I think if they married for
a long time and he thinks about you any day
of the week and comes home with a chocolate or
flowers that you like, that's better than Valentine's Day, where
everybody's telling you to make an airpat.

Speaker 6 (01:59):
Not at all. She's just a wingebag. I'll give anything
to have anything incorrect for my husband at the moment,
who I've only just lost recently. So I think she
should appreciate anything she gets.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
Yeah, your wingebag, the length and breadth of some thoughts.
I imagine that you lose the love of your life,
and the only thing you've got is that little we
love view teddy Bear.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
That's the only thing you have.

Speaker 2 (02:23):
I love you, teddy Bear.
