Speaker 1: Text jun text you. You know, a lot of the
Speaker 1: times on this show we try to help people improve
Speaker 1: their dating lives. I love that. Well today is a
Speaker 1: little bit different. Okay, Brook's wishes have finally come true.
Speaker 1: What we're actually going to try and block love today
Speaker 1: because that's what one of our listeners, Emily wants us
Speaker 1: to do. I love love. Yeah, why do you always
Speaker 1: say that about me? You're always trying to stop people
Speaker 1: from going out, but Emily walk into the show. Hi,
Speaker 1: Hi Emily. I think Brook, like all of us, tries
Speaker 1: to help, but we don't end up being very successful.
Speaker 1: Sometimes that's okay. Speak for yourself, Emily, what do you need? Wow?
Speaker 1: Doesn't that sounds so sweet? And help for yourself? What
Speaker 1: do you need? Emily? Thank you for emailing this show.
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit about your love situation and
Speaker 1: how we can help destroy it for you. What's going on? Well?
Speaker 1: I haven't really most friend her name is Kaylee. I've
Speaker 1: known her for a long time. I love her like
Speaker 1: a sister. That's so great to have those type of friendships. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it didn't sound like a yes. No. I love Kaylee.
Speaker 1: She's my best friend and she's been in a relationship
Speaker 1: with a guy for almost two years. Now. Okay, she
Speaker 1: loves how it's going. I mean, she likes the guy.
Speaker 1: He's very handsome, he treats her right. The only thing
Speaker 1: is she's not in a place where she wants to
Speaker 1: settle down with him yet. Okay, that's fine. Why is
Speaker 1: that an issue? Well, it wouldn't be. But like, the
Speaker 1: problem is, I heard a rumor that her boyfriend was
Speaker 1: going to be proposing to her tonight. O wait tonight, Wow,
Speaker 1: this is the team about that? Yeah, well, if you're
Speaker 1: dating for two years, you think it would have come up, right. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Who do you hear the rumor from. It's from a
Speaker 1: mutual friend, and it's I'm in such an awkward situation
Speaker 1: right now because I've asked Hayley before, like I've said,
Speaker 1: you know, if Thomas proposed to you, what would you say?
Speaker 1: And she's not about it. She's not into that. She
Speaker 1: told me she's not ready, just not yet like someday maybe,
Speaker 1: but just not right now. You're saying, my mom told
Speaker 1: my dad no, I think four times before she actually
Speaker 1: they actually agreed to get married. So what's the problem.
Speaker 1: You're worried that what she's gonna turn him down, like
Speaker 1: he's going to make a fool of himself. So tonight
Speaker 1: is friends all getting together or something? Is that how
Speaker 1: you think it's going to go down? Well, I just
Speaker 1: know that they're going to go out on a date tonight,
Speaker 1: and I wanted to warn her boyfriend, just like without
Speaker 1: being very direct about the situation. Wait, you want to
Speaker 1: tell Wait hold on, you want to tell him? Why
Speaker 1: wouldn't you want to tell her? Give her a heads up?
Speaker 1: I want to ruin it. Wait she doesn't want it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know my friend, Like this is so much right now,
Speaker 1: I don't want to put this on her. I don't
Speaker 1: want to burden her with this, Like I want to
Speaker 1: get rid of the situation entirely. Well, behind the scenes,
Speaker 1: you're doing work, so she has zero stress. That's get
Speaker 1: rid of the situation. Yeah. So you want you want
Speaker 1: to text Kaylee's boyfriend and stop him from proposing without
Speaker 1: alerting him that you know that he's going to propose.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, that's hard to do. That's why I turned
Speaker 1: to you guys, Like this is so tough to navigate,
Speaker 1: Like I need your help and I've already started a
Speaker 1: text message with him. Oh you good? Wait, no, not
Speaker 1: usual for I don't know if it's good. What do
Speaker 1: you say, Well, it's good because we don't have to
Speaker 1: do as much work. What do you say? Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to read this. So I sent him, Hey, Thomas,
Speaker 1: how's it going? Um? He goes, stop them doing great?
Speaker 1: Thanks for asking? How about you put? Oh, you know,
Speaker 1: just trying to save Kaylee from a lifetime of misery?
Speaker 1: Wait what who? She put? Haha? It's okay, like you're
Speaker 1: coming out of random like this is why I needed
Speaker 1: your health because I thought it was funny to kind
Speaker 1: of do this. You know, it sounds like you're saying
Speaker 1: that being with him would be a lifetime misery. And
Speaker 1: I mean maybe he doesn't even know that. There's not
Speaker 1: enough like context there even. I mean, marriage is a
Speaker 1: lifetime of misery. What did he say? Yeah? Well, then
Speaker 1: I tried to play it off cool. I was like,
Speaker 1: but seriously, how's your day going? Oh? And that's a
Speaker 1: serious part of that. She knows that, you know. Now
Speaker 1: what did he say? Yeah? He goes, my day's going
Speaker 1: pretty well. Why do you ask? Yeah? I put, oh,
Speaker 1: no reason, I was just wondering if you had any
Speaker 1: big plans tonight so we're kind of like doing more
Speaker 1: like restoration fixing right now? How did he respond? He goes, Actually,
Speaker 1: I do, but it's a big secret. Oh yeah, it's
Speaker 1: shut him out. That's what he's telling you to do.
Speaker 1: Keep your mouth shut. Or maybe he's kind of a
Speaker 1: dummy and doesn't know that she's onto him yet. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what have you written back to that? Did you say anything? No?
Speaker 1: I didn't because I'm really stuck and I don't know
Speaker 1: what to say. So I just need help at this point. Okay, situation,
Speaker 1: I think immediately for the third time, how is your day?
Speaker 1: I think one common theme that we go to with
Speaker 1: these is using humor to try and get people to
Speaker 1: open up a little bit more true, because even though
Speaker 1: our goal is a little bit serious trying to get
Speaker 1: him to stop proposing, we need to get him to
Speaker 1: lighten up a little bit in order to make it there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean we didn't start well with that whole like
Speaker 1: saving her from a lifetime of misery thing. So so he,
Speaker 1: I mean he's already admitted like, there is something I've planned,
Speaker 1: but it's a big secret. What if we throw out
Speaker 1: some horribly wrong guesses to make him laugh? Oh, like
Speaker 1: like oh, let me guess is it a big casino
Speaker 1: heist Tonight's funny photographing Spider Man around the city? Like
Speaker 1: just obviously wrong. I like casino heist. Go with that one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do you laugh? What do you think? Emily? I
Speaker 1: think that's good, Like I just want to like not
Speaker 1: come off to too crazy, like I'm prying into his life.
Speaker 1: But you know, yeah, I like casino heist. And then
Speaker 1: you follow it up with because Kaylee's really not ready
Speaker 1: for that type of commitment. Yeah, I think so, Why
Speaker 1: why don't you start typing that out? Like, ooh, let
Speaker 1: me guess we're doing a casino heist tonight with the
Speaker 1: money bag emoji? Yeah that's good. Are you typing? Emily? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: I'm putting, Oh, is there going to be a casino
Speaker 1: heist tonight? I guess don't get caught or something? No?
Speaker 1: Am I close? Am? I close question mark? We just
Speaker 1: want him to open up and start talking with us.
Speaker 1: And if you end it with a set, you have
Speaker 1: to end it with a question. He'll never respond to you. Okay,
Speaker 1: and my close question mark? Yeah, okay, I got it?
Speaker 1: And are you sure your your best friend isn't like
Speaker 1: telling you one thing about her commitment level and telling
Speaker 1: her boyfriend something else. No. I swear to god she
Speaker 1: does not want to get married right now. Okay, that's great.
Speaker 1: Is that what you were doing with your husband? Brook?
Speaker 1: You were telling everybody else? Are you kidding me? I
Speaker 1: was begging him to propose? What are you doing? Well?
Speaker 1: Get it? And remember that because every weekend you'd go away.
Speaker 1: We're like, this is the weekend and then you fake
Speaker 1: drop down on a knee and I'm like, so, Emily,
Speaker 1: you sent that right? Yeah? I did. Okay, Well, we're
Speaker 1: running out of time for this first part. We're gonna
Speaker 1: play a song, come back, and we'll see if Kaylee's
Speaker 1: boyfriend has responded, and then we'll try and stop him
Speaker 1: from proposing when we continue textual healing next. How do
Speaker 1: you stop a guy from proposing to your best friend?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, it's usually the opposite. How do you
Speaker 1: get a guy to do it? I know there must
Speaker 1: be a Cosmo magazine article about them. We must have
Speaker 1: thrown that issue away. So we're kind of on our
Speaker 1: own here helping out one of our listeners, Emily, because
Speaker 1: she knows her friend is about to get proposed to
Speaker 1: buy her boyfriend tonight. I mean he had a huge surprise.
Speaker 1: The thing is, Emily's friend isn't ready to get married.
Speaker 1: Even told her if he proposes, I'd probably say no.
Speaker 1: Oh man. So to prevent all that drama, Emily wants
Speaker 1: to get ahead of it and tell the boyfriend please
Speaker 1: don't do it without letting him know that she knows. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's tricky. There's been a whole conversation in the lead up,
Speaker 1: and our suggestion was let's throw out some wrong guesses
Speaker 1: and about what the secret is. But what the secret is?
Speaker 1: And we guests big casino heist? Am I close? And
Speaker 1: has he responded to that? Emily? Yes, he has? Okay,
Speaker 1: what do you say? So he put OMG, no casino hips. Ah.
Speaker 1: What I've planned is kind of bigger than that. There
Speaker 1: will be cameras and maybe some roses. Oh no, this
Speaker 1: guy is the worst at secrets ever. By the way,
Speaker 1: more clues. I'm probably got a camera person though. Honestly, yeah,
Speaker 1: all right, well now he's really confirming that something romantic
Speaker 1: it's about to go down. I think we need to
Speaker 1: like deterret right now. I don't think we need to
Speaker 1: do anymore back in for us like I don't know, Like,
Speaker 1: is there any way like your friend Caylee's like going
Speaker 1: through like other life changes and maybe we could be Like,
Speaker 1: you know, Cayley's going through so much. She just really
Speaker 1: needs a steady, non changing relationship with not a bad idea,
Speaker 1: Like is she going through like a changing careers? Did
Speaker 1: you get a new pet? Like something really stressful? She
Speaker 1: got a hamster. She just really space to propose. The
Speaker 1: hamster was pregnant and so now she's got twenty hamsters.
Speaker 1: Ever since she got buttons, it's been rough for her.
Speaker 1: Is anything going on like that? Well, her wax person
Speaker 1: quit lady recently and she's been looking for a new one,
Speaker 1: Like the person is that taking a big toll on
Speaker 1: her mentally? Exactly? He loves before. She'd been going to
Speaker 1: her for years and she just doesn't need more stress. Okay,
Speaker 1: she's really sad about wax lady. Well, let's go with that,
Speaker 1: I think. Okay, are you to say I hope Kayley
Speaker 1: is not involved in the surprise. She's not in the
Speaker 1: right headspace since her wax woman left. Yeah, she can't
Speaker 1: handle more stress on her plate. Okay, So Kaylee can't
Speaker 1: handle more stress on her plate. Yeah, just say, I
Speaker 1: hope she's not involved in the surprise. That's right, because
Speaker 1: Kaylee is not in the right headspace, right because we're
Speaker 1: still trying to play dumb like we don't know the
Speaker 1: proposals about to happen. Yeah, okay, so I put I
Speaker 1: hope Kayley is not involved in this. She doesn't need
Speaker 1: more stressed. She's already stressed out about finding a new
Speaker 1: wax person. I mean, but to make you want to
Speaker 1: get a wax before you're proposed to so stressful? Come
Speaker 1: on and look, that's not stressful to us, but for
Speaker 1: her friend, clearly it's causing some mental anguish and that
Speaker 1: should be enough. And no wonder Kaylee's not ready for
Speaker 1: a proposal or an engagement if she's that fragile. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: so we we've sent that text, right, Emily, Okay, now
Speaker 1: he's do you think he's freaking out? Like unwaxed body?
Speaker 1: If you got that text saying the person you're about
Speaker 1: to propose to is like super freaked out, would you
Speaker 1: be like, oh my god, I should do it another night.
Speaker 1: As a guy. To be honest, I would be like,
Speaker 1: wax lady, that's nothing compared to what I'm about to
Speaker 1: you know, well, I don't know if it's gonna stop. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but that makes it about you tonight. The proposals all
Speaker 1: about her, that's true. That's true. So you want her
Speaker 1: to be on the best headspace that she possibly can
Speaker 1: be to guarantee you. Yes, well, especially because it sounds
Speaker 1: like they haven't even talked about it. If he's proposing
Speaker 1: tonight and Kaylee is so not on board the communication
Speaker 1: in this relationships. True, he's probably super nervous flying blind
Speaker 1: on this anything Emily. Yeah, something just came in. Okay.
Speaker 1: It says, if you think I'm proposing tonight, that's not true.
Speaker 1: Oh right wait? Oh, so he finally clicked in his head.
Speaker 1: I thought you confirmed with the rumor. Yeah. Wait, and
Speaker 1: what's all the roses and cameras about? There's more? Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's study something else. He's typing. Wait what is going?
Speaker 1: Oh my god, he's breaking up with her? Right. It
Speaker 1: would make a pretty devastating TikTok video that would go viral.
Speaker 1: Hel being a friend propose instead of him proposing itself. Okay,
Speaker 1: I have another message. It says, wait, do you know already? Oh?
Speaker 1: Oh my god? No, wait, is this good or bad proposing?
Speaker 1: So what is he what is going on? Do you
Speaker 1: know what? You have to text it back? Do I
Speaker 1: know what? Just maybe fake? Like you do know? I
Speaker 1: totally know that he'll ease up and go, oh you
Speaker 1: know fine, I'll spill the bean. Yeah, like, no, say this,
Speaker 1: tell him I know something? Tell me what you know first? Okay,
Speaker 1: you know, first game. Maybe it's like you play it
Speaker 1: kind of cool, Like, I mean, I have a pretty
Speaker 1: good idea of what's going on tonight, but he just
Speaker 1: said that he's not proposing. Do we have a good
Speaker 1: idea anymore? Well, we have no idea, but we're just
Speaker 1: trying to get him to tell us. Yeah, like let
Speaker 1: me know how I can help give me the details.
Speaker 1: That's a Jeff. What do you think, Emily? Yeah, because
Speaker 1: I'm very confused right now. I'm just thinking just playing
Speaker 1: along kind of telling him texted okay, text it, send
Speaker 1: it okay. I am like dying what ye wait? So
Speaker 1: does he mean that he's not Like was he being
Speaker 1: sarcastic when he was saying not proposing or was he
Speaker 1: being serious? Yeah? What does he think? You know? This
Speaker 1: is what I wrote? I put um, I do have
Speaker 1: a good idea of what's happening? Um, if there's any
Speaker 1: way that I can help, and that's great, just give
Speaker 1: me the details. Yeah, okay, so I'm putting please give
Speaker 1: me the details and I put a heart emoji. And
Speaker 1: now you're being a supportive friend. But that's not what
Speaker 1: she wants to be. But we got no time. We
Speaker 1: got to send this send okay, I sent it all right?
Speaker 1: Oh boy, Now I'm really curious. What do you think
Speaker 1: it is. Maybe he's going to give her like an
Speaker 1: extra kidney or something that would bond him. I think
Speaker 1: that her biggest life issue right now is not having
Speaker 1: a proper waxer, So I don't know that kidney donation
Speaker 1: is on there. Kidney swap is pretty romantic, though romantic?
Speaker 1: Wait wait wait what I just cut her response? Yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: it says you want to help with your own proposal.
Speaker 1: What no way? Because I don't think Shane would be
Speaker 1: cool with that. L O L just acts a prize
Speaker 1: when he asked God to what no way? No? Wait,
Speaker 1: this is about me. I thought you should. I thought
Speaker 1: you said that your friend has plans tonight, not you.
Speaker 1: They probably don't throw her off. Oh my god, are
Speaker 1: you so excited? I'm freaking wait. Hold on, are you
Speaker 1: are you like your friend? Are you ready for that?
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say, do we need to text your boyfriend?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I didn't want to know this, God
Speaker 1: and back. She just kind of said it, thought that
Speaker 1: she knew, reacted like now they shouldn't have. Whose idea
Speaker 1: was that? Well, at least you're gonna look for the
Speaker 1: video because you know there's gonna be a photographer there.
Speaker 1: Get your nails done now, hopefully you got a good
Speaker 1: waxer too, and maybe quick practice your shocked reaction for
Speaker 1: when he when he asks it. Um, okay, okay, let's see.
Speaker 1: Oh that's awesome. Congratulation. Get married guys, Oh my god,
