We're going through whereby You were saying that there you
thought you were making great points at home.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
I've never in my life made so many good points,
and I feel like it's just something that's come with ages,
that I'm just making these great observations about things and yeah,
just making hot points, right, Yeah, Well, am I making
a lot of good points?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Or am I just getting old? Movies are too long
these days? Yeah, I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Yeah, I can't see a movie past seven o'clock.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
Right, Yeah, great, great point, I think, and I thought
it was a great point as well.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
We ended up in a bit of an echo chamber, didn't.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
We, Yes, because we are all so guilty of just
getting older. So my Mims Mims young, Mims thirty, so
even she was like, this sounds like you're old to
go a step even younger. We've got Remy who joins
us right now. Yes, Remy, you played can you hear us?
Can you hear it with us? Last week?
Speaker 1 (01:07):

Speaker 1 (01:13):
Remember you're nineteen, Is that right, mate?
Speaker 5 (01:15):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 5 (01:19):
No, I'm actually at home today.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
What are you up, tomm Not much? Yeah, awesome, toasted
cheese sandwiches. I loved it when I could say that question. Unbelievable.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
And even if you did have UNI, I mean it's
all online these days, right.
Speaker 5 (01:36):
Oh no, not with mine.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I'm all on care contact.
Speaker 2 (01:39):
I feel sorry for those people. Nightmare. All right, Well, Remy,
you're the You're the ultimate test for us right now, toody.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Actually, how does it? Remember how many contact hours a week?
If you go, how many contact hours do you have
a week?
Speaker 5 (01:52):
Three? Every second is four?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
To punish, that's to punish.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
That's four hours a week. Mate. You're not getting that
time back. That's tough.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
But remember, yeah, you're the ultimate test for us now,
Will and I think we've got some more good points,
universally good points. Can you just let us know, please
be honest with us if you think it's a good
point as well, or we're just sounding a bit old.
Do you actually when you listen to this radio show, Remy, like,
are you're like, oh god, listen to these old farts banging.
Speaker 6 (02:18):
On oh here and there?
Speaker 7 (02:21):
Yeah, okay, okay, okay, okay. Well here's a good point
for you, Remy. I'm sure you'll agree with this. Do
you think people are changing lanes too much? And I
don't mean metaphorically, I mean literally.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
I just feel like I'm on the road these days
and I just think, pick a lane, guys, and stop
darting around.
Speaker 8 (02:38):
Nah.
Speaker 5 (02:38):
I disagree fair enough. I'm someone that's young. I've got
places to be.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Urgency, you're laying you get the people.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Like you guys, get us on the edge.
Speaker 2 (02:58):
I wasn't supposed to turn into an attack.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
You know, when you haven't got the Wi Fi password,
you know that's really annoying, or like if your Internet
modem's not working. I just think every modem should come
with an Ethernet cable so you can just direct plug in.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
That's great, great point.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
What do you think is that a good pointer? Is
that old?
Speaker 5 (03:18):
I've got to say that's old. I have no idea
what an into your cable?
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Godet cable and you can.
Speaker 5 (03:27):
Share Wi Fi passwords?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Now, yeah, I know I've heard that. I've heard that.
Speaker 1 (03:31):
That's why that's so black magic when that happens someone
walks up with their phone and they go, man, I
just gave you the password. Wow, you didn't give it
to me at all of this my computer and my
computer got it unbelievable that the machines are talking woods.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
Yeah, and it just it just pops up and you
go like, yeah, of course I want the password. Yeah,
I'll take it. Who gave me that? Because magic just
a wink from some stranger in the background.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I think it comes from the cloud, if I'm being honest,
you don't know what the cloud is?
Speaker 2 (03:51):
No, I still don't know, Remy. Sorry, we'll get back
on track.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Cloud is remy? Well, what is the cloud?
Speaker 6 (04:03):
Cloud?
Speaker 2 (04:04):
What is the cloud?
Speaker 4 (04:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:05):
The cloud?
Speaker 1 (04:05):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
iCloud?
Speaker 5 (04:08):
I know what I cloud is?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
What is it?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
What's an iCloud?
Speaker 5 (04:11):
It's that sing that my mum always tells me to
back up my phone on.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Okay, okay, another one for you, Remy. Cafes. Do you
do you frequent cafes?
Speaker 8 (04:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (04:24):
Yeah, okay. Do you think getting too small? I just
I just find when I go.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
To cafes these days, very claustrophobic, very loud.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
I'd love to be bigger.
Speaker 5 (04:34):
Okay, yeah, I agree with that. In some extent.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Cloud, thank you, remy.
Speaker 5 (04:42):
Yeah blood, like you're going to talk to someone, not
other people's conversations.
Speaker 3 (04:47):
Yeah, you can't focus on your conversation. You can't the
who around you brilliantly.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
Okay, I'm not sure you live in Australia, but do
you find that when you go park? When you park
your car somewhere these days, you know, like you can't
don't actually.
Speaker 2 (05:00):
Use the meter.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
Because you well you you can't use.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
The met you know.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It used to be like, you know, I'm in Bay
five and you go like, I'm in B five and
then they tell you how much? But now you've got
to use an app. Yeah you pays day past day.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
Oh I've only been driving for two years, so it's
always been.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
Kind of an app.
Speaker 5 (05:22):
But you've always been kind of easy that way.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Yeah, right, well the app is pretty good man. Really,
you don't have to walk to the meat.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
What do you do with your change in your cup holders?
That's how I used to get rid of it, by Lolly's.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
It sounds like you guys are sounding a lot like boomers.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
Draw the line there.
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Well, Meghan Markle is in some hot water over some honey. Yeah,
well yeah, that's right, mate, you're across this. She's selling
wildflower honey with honeycomb online his thing, though it's been
sold out for a while, but she has continued to
receive money for people that are buying that wildflower honey.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So obviously stinks of Dodge, doesn't she.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
I don't think she intended this like a law Sunds
and because of the show suits that is a hot,
hot ref but is she's giving everyone refunds And this
for me is a pretty clinical case of obviously you
deserve a refund, but I think there's a lot of
gray area with refunds. So I made you make a
phone call earlier today to a cafe requesting a refund
(06:24):
for saying that I believe is in this gray area.
Speaker 2 (06:27):
Will. Hello, Hi there, how are you going?
Speaker 1 (06:30):
My name is Will. I was in there a couple
of hours ago, and now I bought a coffee it
absolutely scolded. My tongue can't feel it anymore, and I'd
like a refund please.
Speaker 8 (06:42):
So what coffee did you purchase? I got a.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Weak latte hot week, well not that hot? Why didn't
ask for it hot? If you just came back hot?
Speaker 8 (06:55):
So when did you purchase a couple of hours ago. Okay,
you pay through the car or you pay through cash
cash cash, Do you have a transaction?
Speaker 4 (07:07):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:07):
I paid cash.
Speaker 8 (07:08):
Yeah, so what time did you purchase? You say a
couple of hours exactly the time?
Speaker 1 (07:13):
Oh no, I couldn't do it, but a couple of
hours ago, somewhere between twelve and twelve thirty and one.
Speaker 8 (07:19):
And do you say week latins?
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Yeah, well it was weak, but I just ordered the
latte that was.
Speaker 8 (07:26):
Hot, okay, sugar or no sugar, no sugar, no sugar, small,
large one.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
It was a large I think. I don't know with
the cup sizes. I just kind of say a latime.
Then I just get whatever cup I'm given.
Speaker 8 (07:43):
Yeah, on Tuebe, maybe you can come in and if
I recognize your then we can do a refund.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Amazing.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
All right, cool, I'll come down now.
Speaker 8 (07:52):
Yeah, perfect, unbelievable. You're coming down.
Speaker 1 (07:55):
Yeah you better believe it.
Speaker 8 (07:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Yeah, we'll be down there. Yeah, I'll be down there.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
I'm sure everybody listening right now.
Speaker 2 (08:04):
There's two things.
Speaker 1 (08:05):
So first of all, everyone listening right now as as
we felt as well, and often we make calls in
here we go, oh we've over stepped the line there
like think we overstepped a bit angry. The cafe is
added for it's probably busy, yeah, very busy. And I
was that's why you got me to make the call,
because you're a coward. And I had to know that's
exactly what it was. And I had to go in
(08:26):
there and act like an annoyed customer who was sending back,
which we all know. Dealing with a refund when you
work in either hospitality or retail is the worst thing
in the whole world.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
It's awful. You're good at it that I've.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Never worked hospitality or retail. You don't know what it's like.
Speaker 2 (08:39):
Terrific.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I worked at the Powder Finger Great Divide Tour making
biers for people, and by making biers, I mean or
in cans of viers. So I get it, man, I
get the hospital world.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
So look, it's tough. It's really it's He is every
right to be annoyed. He has agreed to the refunder though,
well the other thing he's sure he's agreed to it
on paper. But the other thing that people need to
know right now is, and this is really pulling the
curtain down. We can only play calls on radio if
we have people's permission.
Speaker 2 (09:05):
That's it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
And it's particularly spicy when we feel like we've annoyed
the person who have just called, which.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
We did feel that we did.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
But here we are calling that guy back to ask
for permission to play that call on the radio.
Speaker 2 (09:21):
Hi, here are you going. My name's Woody.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
We just called you before about a refund for a coffee.
Speaker 2 (09:29):
You remember that.
Speaker 8 (09:32):
Whilst two seconds ago? Yes, I do remember. You're coming
down now?
Speaker 2 (09:35):
Yeah? No, no, we're not going to come down. I
just wanted to call you to let you know that
we're actually calling from.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
A radio station and we're just testing what warrants are
refund and what doesn't. And your customer service was absolutely exceptional,
because we're of the belief that that doesn't deserve a refund.
Speaker 2 (09:48):
But you absolutely all, yes.
Speaker 8 (09:50):
All you hire your number. It's a private number, yes,
And if you're sure a number you know that's sort
of legit. Noah Harding is somebody's dace. And you said
you called you are person cash? Yes, and if you
everyone called him me and I saw a refund, and
especially you European Cash. I'm not going to do a
refund for you.
Speaker 1 (10:08):
No, fair enough down Yeah, yeah, that's absolutely fair.
Speaker 2 (10:11):
We do agree with that.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
So we're just wondering because we are calling as part
of a radio show to test out what is worthy
of a refund or not.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
Do you mind if we played that on the radio show?
Speaker 3 (10:25):
Yees, no problem, great, amazing, All right, well, thank you
so much, enjoy the rest of your.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Afternoon, Thank you, thank you, good bye. No one saw
that coming. Thought I was a land of the slaughter there. Hell,
he just torched me. And then absolutely.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
I want to talk about new producer Georgia, great additions
of the team.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Just does just does outstanding work.
Speaker 1 (10:57):
Brutal.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Yeah, I'm starting to really go that she offends a
lot of people.
Speaker 3 (11:02):
Yeah, and it happens so much that like she does
it in this way where it's it's it's accidental.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
She like comes across as it. I always put my
foot in it, like foot in mouth kind of stuff.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
But she looks for it, and she looks for it.
Speaker 2 (11:13):
It just happens too much for it to be an accident.
Speaker 1 (11:15):
Up for it. A great bit on air the other day, Yes,
and I thought Georgia was coming in here to give
me a hug afterwards.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
To be fair, this is on you will you would
assume that someone radio was so good.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
In hindsight, thinking that I did a huggable bit on air,
he felt a little bit narcissistic.
Speaker 2 (11:31):
That's on you, mate. But she did storm in here, yeah,
with information.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
She was hugging man and I got wait, so I
got two meters towards it with my arms outstretched, and
she said, I don't do hugs.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
Yes again, I think this is more your issue. I
don't think she's wrong a work. It was a great bit,
that was a hot bit. But on on last week
we went to the pub.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
So you're scared of her, and what's happened happens fast
with you?
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Well, she she's just powerful.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
She's very powerful, intimidated.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
But and and and I definitely wasn't going to go
for you.
Speaker 1 (12:08):
By the way, before we go on here, just just
to try and like type cast you a little bit.
So let's just let's stereotype the house down here.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
So she gave me left home the other night. Yeah yeah, yeah,
you know. Did she somehow offend you in car chat
a number of times?
Speaker 1 (12:21):
But but what I thought was interesting is we drive
the same if we drive If I drive home, I
drive the same route home as her as soon as
we're on. So this is just her personality in a nutshell, right,
she gets soon as she gets into the road, no
matter how busy it is, she just gets straight in
the right hand lane and just sits in the right
hand lane, which is just like.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
Absolutely not sitting there. I'm the fastest one, you.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
See what I mean. So she just competitive, right, she
just gets in there, and I'm like, mate, do you
know much traffic there.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Is on the horn?
Speaker 1 (12:54):
I was like, just get in the left hand lane.
There's traffic moving over there. She goes, I'm not leaving
the right hand lane. This is it was an titlement.
Speaker 3 (13:00):
Yeah, used as cyclists didn't realize it was me one time,
which started abusing me hit you.
Speaker 1 (13:06):
With my car.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Actually yeah you did, yea little just a little nude
took you out anyway, all of these if I can
take you to Thursday night at the Bees.
Speaker 2 (13:14):
So we're having a chat.
Speaker 1 (13:15):
It's just your mystery pub night, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Actually this is the mystery. This is the mystery rooftop.
There's another one.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
This is why I didn't go along by the way,
because I found out where the mystery rooftop was.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I said to people. I was like, guys, I've booked
a surprise. I'm really excited about it.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
None of the other books you know ever, ever, books
you know.
Speaker 3 (13:32):
Very bad at it, normally books. It's a surprise. Do
you trust me that we're on the way and where.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
No one trusted you.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
By the way, the back channeling that was going on,
everyone was like, God.
Speaker 3 (13:41):
We're walking towards a particular pup and in my head,
I'm like that, yeah, that's the pub we're going to
you anyway on the way, Georgia goes, oh, we're not
going to I'm not going to say the name. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
because why the hell would that be a surprise because
it's so basic.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
Yeah, And at that point you turn.
Speaker 7 (13:57):
Around and go, yeah, yeah, we're going there, and that's
exactly where we go.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
And then we got there and she really high pictures like,
oh it's lovely, it's really nice. It's really nice. Then
we're sitting down for dinner right and I start talking.
Speaker 1 (14:09):
It was a strange surprise of it. It was don't
matter where you are in Australia, there's a pub around
the corner from me that's the same as this pub,
and Woody had it as a surprise for everyone.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
Secretly, I wanted to watch the footy.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Okay, to be fair, if the conversation slows down, I
like having footy over someone's shoulder. Anyway, We're sitting down
and Jay, myself and an Alisa talking about dating, how's
the dating world going, et cetera.
Speaker 2 (14:29):
And Jay just starts going, you know, well, you know what,
I'm right off online dating. Wow, I just it doesn't work.
It's an unnatural way to meet people. It's just not
the way to do it.
Speaker 3 (14:40):
And she goes on and on about how bad it is.
Then she turns to me and she goes, anyway, how
did you meet Mim? And there was a pause, and
in my head I was like, I kind of I
kind of want to lie here because you really put
your foot in it. And then I informed her that
Mim and I met online.
Speaker 1 (14:57):
At this very pub actually secret date.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
So again, this is happening fact too much.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
But I want to take you to the moment where
for me, I was like, I think I do want
to lie about how Mim and I.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
Met because I think saying that.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
You need some you feel like it's embarrassing for you.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
I think a more fun story would be nice, But
thirteen one O sixty five is our number.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
I want to know if there's anyone else.
Speaker 3 (15:22):
Out there who lies about how they met their partner? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Right?
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Is it? Are you embarrassed about how you met your party?
Speaker 8 (15:29):
Sure?
Speaker 2 (15:30):
And what's the lie you go from? And maybe you
can take a bit of creative inspiration.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
I'd love that from what they now say.
Speaker 3 (15:37):
I'd love that I met a former partner at a wake?
Was it open about that one? I'll tell you that much,
because apparently that is the wrong.
Speaker 2 (15:45):
A surprise, that's right, thirt.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Safe to say that relationship was denden buried before it
started from you? Do you lie about how you met
your partner?
Speaker 2 (15:57):
With the money.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
Right now? Thirteen one o six five? Did you lie
about how you met your partner?
Speaker 2 (16:06):
Because you've got crap stories?
Speaker 3 (16:09):
Him and I met on hinge gins, we met online
on the app. We're on the apps on the apps
obviously for the two of us. But but well, well,
do I have it forever because I could lie? Yeah,
I could lie about how a partner and.
Speaker 1 (16:21):
A remy will lie about you, I mean, your daughter
in the future, whether she'll be so embarrassed signs to
romanticize about how your parents met.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
You know, sure you like that thought.
Speaker 1 (16:31):
Yeah, that's going to be tough for her in primary school.
You know, Well, then maybe she'll be in amongst the
classroom of kids whether they you know, whether they met
on Hinge or they met on Bumble or they met
on Tinder.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
That'll be the thing. Had your parents meet day or something,
or like bring your parents.
Speaker 1 (16:44):
Which day dresses the app dresses the flogo of the
app that.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
The only thing in my defense is there will be
a lot of us online undred percent.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
I was at a wedding recently and someone said to me,
you can tell what year people met based on what
app they met on.
Speaker 2 (16:58):
Yeah, what's the app right now? What's the hot app?
Speaker 1 (17:01):
I think it's still I think I think the hinge
factor is still a thing.
Speaker 2 (17:04):
The hinge.
Speaker 1 (17:05):
I wouldn't know. Analyst is on the apps.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
George is probably the apps. Oh you're off the apps now,
aren't you. She made it very clear that it's not
cool to me.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
What's the cool app to date on?
Speaker 8 (17:12):
Now?
Speaker 2 (17:13):
I'm not on any of the I said. It's the
catalyst for destroying human connections.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
Wow, that's right that it was used to see you
on an app right now, if you're on a dating app,
don't lie.
Speaker 2 (17:24):
Look at her. You're going to try He's on that,
she's on right, she was on L thirty dollars. But
I am on you mean Lando, stop talking to you?
Speaker 1 (17:32):
What do you want? What do you want?
Speaker 2 (17:34):
I'm on a hinge hinge.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
I told you hinge. Still think but if you meet
someone who met in twenty ten, it's Tinder.
Speaker 2 (17:40):
They're always met on Tinder. Bumble had a few years.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah, years in the sun.
Speaker 2 (17:45):
Let's got a grace.
Speaker 3 (17:46):
Grace you like your grandpa, specifically grandpa about how you
met your partner.

Yeah, she made my granny when they were like yeah,
like eighteen, like hometown sweethearts and yeah, I just I
think I'm saying like he just was like, oh, people meet,
I'm dating out so or online, Like I can't believe that.
Speaker 6 (18:07):
How did you and you're within meet? And I was like, yeah,
a coffee shop.
Speaker 1 (18:11):
Yeah, yeah, coffee shop.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Coffee's actually funny. Andy Lee's on the show later on.
I'm not sure whether he still rolls with this one,
but he gave Beck he's now fiance. Actually they're engaged.
He left his email address for her when he went
to the cafe.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Not his personally mail dress. I think it was the
Hamish and Andy business account and at Hamish dot com
or something. Tiff, if your husband likes to lie about how.
Speaker 5 (18:44):
You met, yes, and I don't know why, but we
are now married I think thirteen years.
Speaker 6 (18:51):
I can't remember, but we originally did meet online and
he tells everyone we met at subway. I was a subway.
Speaker 3 (19:01):
I take you're going to go for the lie subway
Is that like a fantasy? It is the subway the
sandwich artist, sandwiches artist.
Speaker 4 (19:09):
I'm kind of outing him now, an't I? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (19:11):
Body, so you met him?
Speaker 4 (19:13):
Hang on?
Speaker 1 (19:13):
Is there any depth to the story though, tip like,
is it a is a wood Woody Allen style meat
cuesu or is it just he was heating up the
meat balls? What's the what's the b?
Speaker 6 (19:24):
I don't know. I'm going to have to ask him.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
I'm actually from work now, so I'll ask him.
Speaker 6 (19:30):
On the drive pone.
Speaker 2 (19:31):
Maybe we can get you on the show tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (19:32):
I think there's something going on there that he wants
you to dress up as a subway sandwich artists. And
I think that's something that's really exciting for the two
of you to explore.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
So so far you have no concrete alternative to meet online.
I would appreciate a subway.
Speaker 2 (19:47):
Actually it is to work. Fancy Feelings there she was
actually over the stretch, one of the best. According to her. Well,
the visor, very well.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
Raised called fancy Feelings is a very rogue reference. Right.
You lied about how you met your ex husband.
Speaker 6 (20:09):
Okay, So I was in year eleven, actually ten when
I got engaged him. But I was in year eleven
and I'd never had a boyfriend in my life, and
I just sent to school and I told all my
friends at school that I was engaged and I was
getting married in two weeks, and they were tripping out
and they just had to make up this It was
an arranged marriage. So I met him at the airport.
Obviously I didn't know him from a bus.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (20:29):
Wow, Sorry, did he fly in for the marriage or
you flew in?
Speaker 6 (20:35):
I was born here, he flew in and he's been
here seeing.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Oh okay, so your parents were like, this guy's going
to come over and he'll be your husband. You're sixteen
years old.
Speaker 6 (20:43):
Well, what my late dad did actually say to me
was if I didn't marry him, that he'd die in
the war back in Lebanon, so met with my beautiful
soft heart. I believed it, and I brought him out here,
and needless, we were married for twenty five years. But
I lied, and my brother used to pay baseball and
I told him that I fell in love with him
because he played baseball, and I sill in love with
(21:05):
my brother's baseball matches, and I mean in there. But
he couldn't even speak English.
Speaker 2 (21:09):
So yeah, that's right.
Speaker 3 (21:12):
The first time you saw this guy was at the
airport and I was like, that's going to be your husband.
Speaker 1 (21:17):
Yeah, and he didn't speak English, And did you speak
his language though?
Speaker 4 (21:23):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (21:23):
Yeah, yeah, we were brought up speaking both language. Yeah
that was the now.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Married for twenty five years, so it obviously went pretty well, right.
Speaker 6 (21:31):
Arranged marriages do pretty good unless they, like, yeah, accidentally
fall into someone else's pants, but like that's a different story.
