break to my brand new fiance.
Speaker 1 (00:09):
Brand new fiance. Oh bad news, okay, okay, well we
will help you deliver this news. All right, let us
figure it out. We'll come back find out what she's
talking about. And that is next with John Jay and
Rich J Rich, We're gonna do breaking bad news. We
haven't done what according to take you over two years?
What this situation calls for? Because from what understand, this
(00:31):
situation is tough, and if any one of us was
in this situation, you would want to be in this situation.
Oh okay, this is a situation.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
What's the situation?
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Let's ask Avery? Avery, good morning, Hi, Hi, what's your situation?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
So my boyfriend, well, my fiance has no idea that
I don't actually want to marry him.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
When did the proposal take place on Thanksgiving? In front
of the family and everything? So you feel pressure you
had to say yes?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Is that what happened exactly? I mean, there's just no
way I could have said no, Like in the moment,
I wanted to believe me. I didn't want to tap
to tell him yes and know that later on I
was gonna have to break this news, but there's no
way I could say no in front of his whole family.
They're watching me.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
Well, how did it go down? After dinner? Before dinner?
Give us the details?
Speaker 5 (01:29):
It was.
Speaker 2 (01:31):
It was after dinner, right before dessert. Everyone was in
the dining room and he called my name. I was
headed to the head to the dessert table. I turn
around and he's on one knee.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
So why don't you want to marry?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Did you fall?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
What kind of yes was it? Was it a crying
I'm so happy, yes, but you faked it? Or was
it a crying because I have to say yes and
I can't say no?
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Like?
Speaker 4 (01:59):
What what was that part?
Speaker 2 (02:00):
I wasn't crying. I just said yes, and then everybody cheered,
and so I started to like bah and smile along
with everyone cheering, And honestly, it's such.
Speaker 5 (02:13):
A blur and everyone's hugging you and congratulating.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I would guess that that this was at his house
because it was or his family, maybe your friendly rido
about it, because if you're at your house, your family,
you'd be like, you'd have a better chance of saying
whoa whoo?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Why do you not want to marry him? Like what's
were you going to break up with him? Or what's
the deal with that?
Speaker 2 (02:38):
Well, the thing is, we're we've been together for three years,
and I just have been feeling like we're not as
close as everybody thinks that we are.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Like obviously it feels.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like I mean, it feels like we're more comfortable just
being together than we are actually connected, and we barely
want dates anymore. We like we constantly are arguing about
the same thing, and I just for a while, I've
been thinking, like, I can't even remember the last time
(03:09):
I felt that butterfly feeling with him that we used
to have, and so like, seriously for him to propose
like everything is perfect just finally was the straw that
made me realize how far apart we've become.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Okay, what's your fiance's name? I probably don't like that
we call him fiance? What's your what's your fiance? For now? Okay,
so we haven't done breaking bad news in a couple
of years, So remind me what we do. We take
a break, right, then we get him on the phone,
and then one of us we write the bad news
(03:44):
on a letter, right oh, yeah, have the letter.
Speaker 5 (03:47):
One of us has to read it mean to Micah,
I think, yeah, No, Avery.
Speaker 1 (03:52):
Gets to pick who gets all right, So Avery, you
got Rich, Peyton, Kyle and me. Don't tell us who
you're gonna pick itet, We'll take a quick break, will
come back. We'll get the bad news written in a letter,
and then the bad news also, I mean to say,
whatever the words are, it's gonna be pretty brutal. All right.
So we're gonna tell him that you don't want to
be married to him, and we will do that Breaking
(04:14):
Bad News next with John Jane Rich. It's John jan
and Rich. We're in the middle of a segment called
Breaking bad News, which we haven't done in a couple
of years. Here's the deal. Avery has been with her
boyfriend Micah for over three years. He proposed to her
in front of his whole family on Thanksgiving. She felt pressure,
(04:35):
she said, yes. The deal is she does want to
be married to him, and it's better to do it now,
the sooner the better. And Avery, you felt like using
our show to end your engagement? Correct?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Yes, We're.
Speaker 1 (04:51):
Okay. So we're gonna get Mike on the phone everyone
and we're gonna tell him, explain the segment to him. Right,
we're gonna tell me that bad news. I forgot it's
been a long time.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
At first, she needs to decide who's going to break
bad news. But I'm trying to remember how the segment goes.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
So we got to call him up on the phone,
tell me he's on the air, and tell him we
got bad news. And then we don't is she on
the phone else? Okay? Can showing to make sure I
don't know if he knows that? Does he know it?
He knows it?
Speaker 5 (05:14):
He knows it, because remember the whole thing was research
has showed that like you break the bad news, it
lessens it with.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
People that care.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
Okay, okay, okay, okay, great, okay, all right, Avery, So
you got Rich Peyton, Me and Kyle. Who would you
like to read the bad news to your fiance?
Speaker 2 (05:30):
I would like Kyle because I feel like I feel
like maybe she rejected a proposal or two.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
I've chosen wisely, got a proposal at one point, you've
chosen wisely for you? Good point. That's a really good him.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Hello, Hey, is this Micah?
Speaker 6 (06:07):
It is Are you okay?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
If you're not? Okay, this is the correct button.
Speaker 4 (06:13):
Okay, I'm glad.
Speaker 6 (06:13):
This is Micah. I'm painting with John, Jay and Rich.
We just want to talk to you on the radio
really quickly if you got time this morning.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
Okay, yeah, hey, so you're on our radio show. Are
you driving right now? I was? Okay, if you're not driving,
you think you can get off bluetooth or speakerphone because
this is pretty important.
Speaker 3 (06:33):
Okay, how about now much better?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Okay, So, Micah, we're grateful you're on our radio show
and you're on our radio show because, first of all, congratulations,
I know you just got engaged on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (06:46):
Yeah okay you did?
Speaker 1 (06:48):
You just go back on speakerphone? No, okay, all right,
your fiance Avery called us, so she's actually on the
phone right now. Avery wants to hi to Micah.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Hi Micah.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
Hey, so wow, yeah, so this is I mean, you're engaged,
So you're probably going, where is this going? What is
this about? Why am I on this radio show? Right?
Am I? Right? Is that those are some of the thoughts.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Yeah, yeah, I think my mom has something to do
with this.
Speaker 1 (07:15):
No, no, no, so I wouldn't think. So we did
this research. We have all this research that says that
when you get news. And if you get news, whether
it's good or bad, if your friends are with you,
it's easier to deliver the news, okay.
Speaker 6 (07:29):
And to receive it right.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yes, and Avery has some news as she wants to
tell you, and she came to us saying, I need
help with this situation. So as a radio show, we
kind of want to make it a little bit of fun.
So the bad news, if it is bad news, is
in an envelope right now. Avery has chosen Kyle on
our show to read you this news. So we're just
(07:52):
going to rip open an envelope and just read you
the news. Okay. She has something to tell you, but
she wants us to tell it to you. Do you understand?
Speaker 2 (07:58):
Okay? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Are you ready? Are you listening? You got to focus
on this. Okay. This is coming from Avery, but Kyle's
gonna read it to you.
Speaker 7 (08:05):
I'm ready, okay, Okay, Okay.
Speaker 5 (08:17):
Look, I'm not gonna sugarcoat this. I said yes to
your proposal because your entire family was staring at me
like it was a live studio audience, not because I
actually wanted to marry you. We haven't been good for
a long time, and you proposing out of nowhere. Didn't
really magically fix that. It just kind of proved how
out of touch you are with where we actually stand.
(08:39):
I'm not planning a wedding, I'm not playing along, and
I'm not wearing this ring another day. You deserve someone
who's excited to say yes, and I deserve to stop
pretending I'm that girl. Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Okay, so that's how you really feel? Like you couldn't
tell me this in private, Avery, like you have to
come on the radio and embarrassed me like this.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
Micah, I did tell you multiple times and you just
never listened. You did exactly what I said that I
wasn't ready.
Speaker 3 (09:11):
For my god, Avery, like I proposed to you because
I love you, like I thought, surprising you in front
of my family, would you know, make it special like
that comes to some kind of like hostage situation.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
Yeah, but Michah, you you didn't surprise me. You cornered me,
like you know, I hate big public stuff like that,
and but you did it anyway like that. That wasn't
romantic for me. It was pressure.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
So that's it. Like you're just what like done like
over one thing, but it's it's.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Not the one thing. It's it's everything that has been
leading up to this, and and the fact that you're
you don't even see that is that's exactly why I
can't marry you.
Speaker 1 (09:56):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
So like I'm finding out on the radio that the
person I wanted spend my life with basically hates me.
That's that's just great. That's there's a really great way
to start my day.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Listen, let me let me show it for a second.
Give you some advice from she You tried it on Thanksgiving?
Why don't you? Guys? I don't know if it's over,
if you're still going to be together, but why don't
you refire at Christmas as to marry Christmas in front
of her family?
Speaker 7 (10:20):
No?
Speaker 2 (10:21):
I don't hate you, Micah. I'm just tired of pretending.
I'm so tired of pretending that we're something that we
haven't been in years.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Hey, Micah, if she wanted to say no, would you
have preferred that she said no in that setting in
front of the whole family or said yes and then
fixed it later. Where are you on that?
Speaker 1 (10:44):
Oh?
Speaker 3 (10:44):
My god, I don't even know. I just I just
can't believe this is happening. I don't I don't even know,
Like that's probably better than the radio, honestly.
Speaker 4 (10:54):
Yeah, yeah, I get it.
Speaker 5 (10:56):
I mean the good news is is it doesn't sound
like the relationship is irrepairable, you know what I mean.
It sounds like you guys just need to reconnect and
see if you really are in a place where you
want to start the rest of your lives together. Because obviously,
you know, Avery's saying I don't feel that way. She's
not saying like I hate you and never want to
(11:16):
see you again.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
She's saying she doesn't feel connected the way that you
need to be connected to make.
Speaker 7 (11:22):
The next step.
Speaker 5 (11:22):
Yeah, at least if you two would be willing to
work on it, I think maybe there's a chance you
could get back there.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
I don't know how you feel about that, Avery, or.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
I mean, I obviously I do not hate you, Micah.
I just don't know if I could ever show my
face to your family again.
Speaker 1 (11:41):
Right.
Speaker 6 (11:42):
That's where it's awkward. It's like you have to go
break that news here to both of your families. I'm
sure of it, but it's like, do you wait to
tell them until after the holidays?
Speaker 5 (11:50):
But I think is that happened to my brother, I
would be like, well, thank god, she found out. She's
telling you this now, and you didn't go down the
road of planning a wedding and spending money on a
wedding and starting this life together.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, So there's a pride side for this. Thank you
both for being another radio that's breaking bad news. You
guys breaking bad news us. Yeah,
