Welcome to another episode of Out of the Pods.
2
I'm Deep T.
3
And I'm Natalie.
4
And happy Wednesday.
5
You guys, the lesson of the day is your bad choices will always catch up to you.
6
Whether it's in your soul or it plays out in the public stage.
7
Prime example, the Coldplay Concert Affair.
8
This has gone worldwide.
9
And for good reason.
10
I just cannot believe that this CEO was exposed in this way.
11
And I just have to say karma is real.
12
No one can tell me it's not.
13
If you guys haven't seen this clip, you have to go see it.
14
I mean, I'd be shocked if you haven't seen it because it is literally everywhere.
15
I think my grandma even knows about it.
16
This CEO of this company is caught having an affair with the chief people officer, chief HR officer of the company at a Coldplay concert.
17
And so, you know, like concerts, how they like pan to the fans in the crowd.
18
Well, they panned to the CEO and the chief people officer, and he is hugging her from the back and it's very romantic.
19
And then they look up at the Jumbotron and they're like, oh, my God, we're we're on camera.
20
And they have this like crazy reaction.
21
Like he bends down and hides and she turns her back and like runs away at some point.
22
And the Coldplay lead singer is all like, oh, what?
23
Like everything's OK.
24
Wait, are they having an affair?
25
Like he legit calls it out.
26
And then this clip goes viral and people find out who these two people are.
27
And they realize, yes, they are having an affair.
28
Like these people are married to other people, have kids with other people, and they're having a workplace affair and got caught.
29
Honestly, the audacity.
30
But if they would have just had a normal reaction
31
and just like played it off or like did a dance or something, this would not have been a big deal.
32
But the fact that their body language and their mannerisms, they knew they were doing something wrong.
33
Oh, yeah.
34
And immediately their instant gut reaction was to hide.
35
So you're like, yep, you know that they're doing something bad.
36
You know, they got a little cocky with this affair and they're like, yeah, let's go to Coldplay concert.
37
And isn't that the whole thing?
38
Like, I feel like in life, if you continue to make bad choices or you're doing something wrong and you're doing it over and over again,
39
so your confidence is building and like you have the mindset, oh, I'm not going to get caught.
40
That's precisely the moment you get caught.
41
A hundred percent.
42
When you're not being careful enough, like at some point, if you're doing something bad, a mistake is going to be made.
43
Oh, yeah.
44
It's going to catch up to you.
45
And I just want to say like karma does its thing.
46
Like it is literally the universe being petty and it makes me so happy.
47
I don't even know if they have a prenup or not, but I hope that wife gets every last penny of his.
48
Oh, a hundred percent.
49
And it's like,
50
I just I just can't believe this person would have the balls to take like their mistress to a Coldplay concert.
51
Like there's thousands and thousands of people in that arena.
52
So the fact that they were so confident that they wouldn't get caught or that nobody would see them is like, OK, you're you need to be brought down a level.
53
If the universe and its workings exist, I feel like this was exposed in this way
54
because their spouses would have never found out that an affair was taking place.
55
Yeah.
56
Because like, think about it, like if my husband was a CEO and when there's like long meetings at work, you know, with a CEO and the chief HR slash people officer,
57
no one's thinking anything of it.
58
Yeah.
59
I honestly think about this all the time, but I bet you there is so many office affairs.
60
Well, I feel like the fact she was in HR, I would think as his wife, she's HR.
61
Like she would never commit an HR violation, especially not as the chief HR officer.
62
Yeah.
63
Like I would have no idea.
64
I I don't I feel like though I wonder
65
if their spouses knew something was happening and this was like the last
66
and this was like the camel that broke the it's the straw
67
that broke the camel's back yes that's the one I wonder
68
if they knew something was happening but they just didn't have the evidence
69
and now they do yeah because I feel like out of all the types of affairs you can have.
70
Yeah.
71
I feel like one of the easiest is to have a workplace affair because like you don't have to text, right?
72
Like you are a lot of people spend a lot of time at work.
73
Yeah.
74
They're sending team messages.
75
Exactly.
76
You could be sending things over Slack that are like kind of coded, like, hey, want to have this meeting?
77
You know, you could cover up your calendar.
78
You could go on lunch breaks together.
79
Exactly.
80
Go get coffee.
81
I understand why workplace affairs happen because you're spending more time at work than you are at home.
82
So I get it.
83
But it is no excuse to, for this bad behavior.
84
I'm so glad that this affair is going viral, though I do feel very sad for their children.
85
Because that if these were my parents, I'd be like, Oh, my God, like, I want to hide in a hole forever.
86
Like, thanks, mom and dad for like, literally embarrassing me.
87
Yeah, now I'm going to be known as the the CEO's child who cheated.
88
I know.
89
Come on.
90
If I was really trying to make it in the like the influencer world i would definitely be making tick tock
91
yeah just make it be like my dad's a cheater
92
you're like me trying to recover after my dad got exposed literally i'd be pumping out five tickets a day
93
and i was like there's got to be an upside to
94
this what's crazy is i've actually seen random people posting
95
that they're the children of the ceo's couples
96
and they're all fake like people are just capitalizing on it even though they're not the children yeah
97
so i'm like great cool no i i love
98
that look i wish i could
99
but people are gonna be like no you're yeah they're like
100
they're like were you adopted yeah like i don't know
101
when did you weren't you from love is blind the thing
102
that sucks about cheating is that it's not illegal right
103
but it's such a hurtful act yeah like it's horrible infidelity is a sin yeah like it's
104
so i do love that it's like people are are reacting
105
so harshly to this because it's like it shows this is a horrible thing to do, even though you can't really like legally get in trouble for it.
106
Yeah.
107
I mean, I mean, he is going to be legally in trouble in his marriage.
108
I hope his wife takes him to the dry cleaners, like just squeezes him of money.
109
Absolutely.
110
She deserves it.
111
How do people get to this point where they make this many bad choices?
112
Like you felt comfortable enough going to a concert like that's insane that's no longer an affair.
113
That's a relationship.
114
So in terms of what happened next, so the CEO resigned recently, which actually took a really long time.
115
Like I was like, that shouldn't been immediate.
116
The moment that clip went viral, like you should have been gone.
117
But I guess he tried to hold on like, who knows?
118
But I think he's going to be paid out like a substantial sum is what people are saying online.
119
And people are like, he doesn't deserve it.
120
But I'm like, good.
121
At least there's more that his wife can take from him.
122
Okay.
123
Wait, I love that petty.
124
Yeah.
125
I was like, good.
126
Pay him out so she could take more of that during the divorce proceedings.
127
Also, the chief people officer, the chief HR officer, she's married to another CEO.
128
Like they just bought like a $2.2 million house together.
129
I saw that.
130
And I was like, oh, well, like, guess you're moving out.
131
I'm just confused by the mentality of cheating on one hand.
132
But then on the other hand, you're literally buying million dollar properties together and you're like thinking about your future with your husband.
133
Like that's crazy.
134
No, that's she's just collecting CEOs literally.
135
Yeah, as a type.
136
And I would say it's CEOs.
137
That's crazy.
138
And I was like, I wish that was my type to you, actually.
139
I feel like that is our type.
140
It's just where are they?
141
But clearly this just proves do all CEOs cheat?
142
I'm just kidding.
143
I'm sure they don't.
144
But I don't know.
145
I feel like the the probability of a CEO cheating is high because of the ego that comes with it.
146
I mean, I don't know.
147
This is one example, I suppose.
148
It's just one example.
149
There's not a lot of CEOs in the world.
150
So all it takes is one example for me.
151
And it's like imprinted in my brain now.
152
And I'm like, nope, no CEOs.
153
No, like, I don't know this woman, but I kind of hate her.
154
Yeah.
155
But I was like.
156
Two CEOs like that's a power girl.
157
Yeah.
158
I was like, wow.
159
In this day and age, I feel like social media is such a big thing.
160
Like there was just this random girl who was like recording in that moment and it ended up like going viral.
161
But it's insane to me how many people probably got away with affairs back in the day
162
when social media wasn't so big.
163
It was probably so easy to cheat.
164
I was going to ask you because you've been cheated on.
165
I've been cheated on twice.
166
You always get an inkling.
167
Oh, absolutely.
168
Like you have this like weird feeling like something has shifted.
169
I feel like when the partners of cheaters feel a shift, it's less of like our intuition, though it is our intuition,
170
like our gut feeling, but more so like their mistakes are now catching up with them.
171
Yeah.
172
And like they can't cover it up anymore.
173
Like they are fucking up slowly.
174
I feel like the lies compound over time and it's hard to keep your story straight.
175
And not only that, but it's like the small behaviors that you notice that they do differently.
176
Like, for example, when my ex cheated on me, he would all of a sudden put his phone facing down, which was really odd.
177
And I clocked it and he used to do it so often.
178
And there's other things like the energy just shifts.
179
Those are the things like you look for the behaviors and the patterns.
180
They change and you can see the shift.
181
oh with New York boy he was being really weird with his phone
182
and when I called it out I was like you're being really weird with your phone yeah
183
and I was like I just and he's like no I'm not
184
and then he tried to like fix his behavior by being less weird with it
185
but then it was just like I was like oh my gosh like something's something's up something's up
186
and I didn't suspect cheating at first.
187
But then obviously when I had like this ringing in my head that he was absolutely cheating,
188
it was like a huge data point.
189
Like I was like, oh, it all makes sense.
190
A huge data point.
191
I love that.
192
I feel like that's what you have to do.
193
Every time I've gotten cheated on every time.
194
I feel like you first have to sit back and observe.
195
Like you have to gather data points.
196
Absolutely.
197
Like I never address when things feel off.
198
I was like, I have to wait a few weeks and just like I have to be like, he's doing this thing differently.
199
And he's, you know, like I feel this way
200
and I feel like that's when you know you have to gather data points.
201
Oh, absolutely.
202
I feel like because I was in such a long term relationship, I didn't want to throw it away based on just like a hunch.
203
So I needed actual evidence before I could do anything.
204
There was probably like a month of time where I was like, oh, my gosh, like, is he actually doing it?
205
Is it just in my head?
206
You like kind of gaslight yourself.
207
Yeah.
208
A little bit into and talk yourself out of it because you're like, no, no, no, no. Like you don't want it to end
209
or you know you're just trying to
210
or you want to see the good yeah you want to see the good
211
but most of the time they're just being bad so yeah no
212
if you know you're doing something bad
213
if you know you're making a mistake actually I don't even want to call it a mistake
214
if you know you're doing something intentionally that's hurting someone you love
215
or you're doing something with like ill intent I truly believe
216
you will get caught whether it's the way it impacts your soul
217
But I like truly believe like some way it's going to impact you very negatively.
218
Absolutely.
219
I wholeheartedly believe that because even when I do something where I'm like, oh, that doesn't resonate with who I am.
220
If you continue going down that path, something will happen to make you get back on the right path.
221
And no matter how much you try to run away from the choices that you make,
222
they're always going to compound and weigh you down until you make a mistake.
223
It's inevitable for you to make a mistake when you're doing something wrong.
224
I agree.
225
It's going to it's going to find you some way.
226
Look, the men who have cheated on me, I have not really kept up with them, but I'll do like a little check in,
227
you know, like I'll take a look at the social media or just like, I don't know, ask a friend like what's going on.
228
They've all become crusty ass men.
229
it's also the way we view them too no like no
230
i know you know what i mean i'll look at them
231
and be like oh my gosh yeah like all your fucking mistakes caught up with you
232
and i see it physically oh totally and your crustiness yes
233
and as soon as they do something you just get the most immediate ick
234
and you're like oh my gosh i cannot believe
235
and then all the whole window and the doors are all open
236
and you see right through that person everything just starts making sense
237
and clicking you're like I'm not crazy yeah this is this
238
was the reality of yeah no I really do look back
239
and I'm like no this is a good example my boyfriend
240
from like wow it's been probably eight years since we dated
241
now I'll like just look at his public Instagram page like
242
once every few years like I'll just take tabs I love
243
that you said public and um I saw like a couple of years ago
244
that he got engaged to the girl he cheated on me with.
245
I was like, okay, like whatever.
246
Maybe like it was meant to be.
247
And then they ended their engagement
248
and like he like spiraled and she's like living her best life because she also has a public Instagram.
249
So like, you know, I'm keeping tabs on both.
250
You know, your rotation, like the roster where you like, you have to check on these people every couple of like months or years.
251
I'm not going to say it's healthy, but you know, you're just like, it's relatable.
252
It's curiosity.
253
You're just like, you know, I just, just curious, like where you ended up in life.
254
I don't know.
255
It just I was like, it kind of made me feel good.
256
Yeah, I wish I could say the same because I haven't creeped on my ex in a while, but he got married to the person he told me not to worry about.
257
And I was like, wow, that just that's like a dagger in the heart and a twist of the knife.
258
You know, I cheated on.
259
Yeah.
260
And I was like, but also thank you for taking him away because he was terrible.
261
Is he looking a little crusty?
262
Absolutely.
263
Because of all those mistakes compounding in his soul.
264
It's like sucking the youth out.
265
Yes.
266
And now he's like a crusty old man who doesn't wear his sunscreen.
267
You know, speaking of the energy thing, can I just say if you're with the wrong person, you become less attractive.
268
Let me elaborate on that.
269
But if you look at pictures of yourself and how much of an energy vampire like your partner can be,
270
if they're the wrong person for you, you will literally physically get less attractive.
271
It is.
272
I'm telling you, every time I've been with the wrong person, they have taken all of my like good aura, if that makes sense.
273
No, I've had my best glow ups after after ending relationships with the toxic.
274
And I think that's the theory of why people have glow ups after breakups, because they're getting their energy back finally and they're cutting the ties.
275
And I swear to you, I think that's a real thing.
276
Yeah, I agree.
277
Listen, I used to dread making doctor's appointments because you got to do your research on who to go to, check which doctors are in network, and then you have to see if their availability works for you.
278
Like, it's a very big time consuming task.
279
There were times where I'd have an overdue annual checkup that was like three years in the making.
280
But with ZocDoc, I know I can book easily today.
281

292
You know, what's kind of crazy is I feel like Netflix is putting out a bunch of shows just like back to back.
293
Like, for example, you've got Perfect Match season three coming out August 1st
294
and then Love is Blind UK season two coming out August 13th.
295
And then you've got Love is Blind US season nine.
296
Oh my gosh.
297
Season nine.
298
Yeah.
299
Which is going to be Denver based.
300
Yeah.
301
Denver.
302
And I I think it's October 1st. Yeah.
303
But don't you feel like that's just like a lot happening at once?
304
A lot.
305
Like what?
306
They're just packing it into the second half of the year, which is kind of good for us because we can recap.
307
But also, yeah, it's a lot of Love is Blind.
308
Yeah.
309
A lot of Netflix.
310
I know people are like, well, Love is Blind UK is more of like the international version because you've got like, you know, the other Love is Blind international versions.
311
Yeah.
312
But I feel like the Love is Blind UK version is
313
promoted by the main Love is Blind Netflix Instagram page
314
that it's kind of you know it's like now being seen
315
as kind of part of like the love is blind yes
316
world in my head it's all the same it's like all the same maybe it's
317
because English is the main language for both of um those versions of love is blind so yeah
318
and I feel like also love is blind UK of all
319
the international ones is probably the most popular too I think
320
for like the yeah for the u.s crowd the u.s crowd
321
but i uh yeah there's a lot coming out
322
but like the concept is the exact same
323
and it does get a little redundant
324
so we'll see how it actually how it actually plays out yeah
325
so my thing is the fact
326
that love is mine uk is coming out like right after
327
perfect match season three signals to me like perfect match season
328
three like they know it's not going to be like oh an amazing season yeah
329
that is my prediction who knows i've also heard rumblings from the cast and they're like, yeah, like they're like our season's OK.
330
Interesting.
331
If it's coming from the cast, you know.
332
But I saw the trailer for Perfect Match season three.
333
And like I know there was a bunch of rumblings being like,
334
you know, Ali did something to AD and they're going to change his edit because AD is pregnant and they're engaged.
335
But the trailer shows like ollie does something a little sketchy
336
and ad is yelling at him about it
337
so i think they might actually like not edit him as well as people were saying they're going to yeah
338
and there's only so much they can edit anyways
339
and i feel like
340
if there is drama in a show they're not gonna protect anyone like they are playing
341
that drama yeah you know what i mean like
342
if it's juicy drama i feel like they're gonna play maybe they'll downplay it
343
because i have heard of like big things
344
that happened in previous perfect match seasons and it's completely edited out and the cast is like
345
they definitely protected someone oh interesting you know
346
so yeah you just you just never know i feel like they can only protect people so much
347
but it really is dependent on the other storylines yeah they don't want to have a flop season
348
so if they have the footage they're probably going to to use it.
349
Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
350
Yeah. So interesting.
351
I think it's going to be weird watching knowing that 80
352
and Ali are currently engaged and together and having a baby together
353
and then like watching them like meet for the first time.
354
Like I was like, so much time has passed.
355
It just like doesn't make sense.
356
And I also feel like the cast on Perfect Match season three, like based on their social media activity, you kind of already know what happens.
357
Like, for example, one person from the cast is pregnant and like has been actively like showing it on social media, on our social media pages.
358
And you're like, OK, I feel like the producers need to take a lesson from Love Island
359
because they are literally putting out episodes like the next day after they film.
360
So they need to make the turnaround much quicker
361
because people lose interest and it just is not relevant anymore by the time the show comes out.
362
Like, why do they Why do they keep doing that?
363
It's taking too long.
364
I don't think, but I just feel like they won't ever be able to do
365
that i don't know how the back end works for netflix
366
but i feel like it's very common
367
that there's this you know this lag time by the time a show finishes filming
368
and the time it premieres yeah
369
because i think it has to fit into their schedule yeah
370
and also i feel like netflix's show schedule yeah
371
and i feel like um it really does depend on the platform
372
that they're releasing it to like obviously Netflix has
373
so many hit shows not just in the reality tv space
374
like in scripted series Love Island is like Peacock's biggest show
375
so obviously they're going to prioritize it I do feel like
376
because of all the love is blind seasons
377
but also the international versions it's becoming like very redundant
378
and it's losing its like shine I know we always talk about
379
that like it's becoming like the bachelor franchise where you know
380
the peak is done like it's gone like I feel like
381
that's kind of happening to love is blind I'm very curious what like season nine is gonna bring
382
but I feel like the last few seasons since season six it's lost
383
that like appeal yeah because well the format never changes
384
and I don't think it can yeah because for at least for the U.S crowd this year alone.
385
There's two U.S versions plus one U.K., which a lot of U.S people are going to watch.
386
So it just feels like, I don't know, what's the word?
387
Like just so much.
388
It's just like, yeah, yeah.
389
Truly, it's been done before.
390
And obviously, every single person is unique and has their own story.
391
But eventually, it just gets boring because you've seen it all.
392
I know.
393
I hate saying that because obviously, that's where Deepty and I came from.
394
we were born from love is blind yeah it's like yeah
395
it just it's yeah i'm not gonna lie i'm really excited for denver though
396
because i've always wanted to live in denver i my brother lived in denver
397
so i visited a lot i'm just really excited to see
398
like what kind of dates they have oh i bet it'll be
399
so cool it's gonna be so gorgeous like hiking dates are gonna do camping
400
and like oh i love a good i i love camping
401
i am such a nature girly you like camping i love
402
camping i literally used to camp with my ex all the time we used to set up hammocks
403
and sleep on the hammocks like not even in a tent
404
sometimes i know who am i no i love it here's
405
my thing i just feel like i use the bathroom
406
so often in the middle of the night please don't diagnose me with anything.
407
I was just gonna say also you can just use nature.
408
It's literally there.
409
I just I need like a toilet.
410
I feel you.
411
You know, you're and I feel like in the middle of the night, like I've gone camping before in Yellowstone, which is crazy.
412
Gorgeous.
413
Thankfully, they had like an actual bathroom like on the campground.
414
But you would have to walk 10 minutes in the dark, like with your flashlight, passing other people's tents.
415
Yeah, you would really enjoy a glamping situation.
416
I don't think I'd even enjoy glamping.
417
I just want a straight up hotel room.
418
There's so many beautiful homes, cabins.
419
You would.
420
I could do a cabin.
421
You could do a cabin.
422
You would.
423
Yeah.
424
I'm just saying I can't do like an actual.
425
I'm not camping.
426
Like I'm not going to tent.
427
I also think safety wise.
428
I was like anyone just open that, you know, tent door.
429
I'm like, look, there is just coming through.
430
Hey, I don't know.
431
Just sounds like a risk to me.
432
It is.
433
It is.
434
I do have to say I'm watching a show currently and there's murders happening in this national forest.
435
So I'm with you on that.
436
It's not the most safe space.
437
But imagine, wait, imagine for Love is Blind Denver, though, their shared apartment is like a shared tent.
438
Um, I would die.
439
They just get like a giant glamping campus and they're all connected.
440
I was like, no one's getting married.
441
Like 100%.
442
Oh my gosh, I wonder where they'll do weddings. that makes me
443
so excited wow they better go into the mountains go to vale breckenridge no they're not doing
444
that the budget isn't
445
that big i don't know it's season nine exactly yeah it's not season 10
446
if it was season 10 they're getting the best weddings ever they'll be like our 10 year anniversary let's ignore
447
that like six couples have already divorced but like a happiness
448
they're like we don't focus on the breakups we focus on love for season nine there's already been a leak
449
that um of like the two people who get married oh is it only one couple i don't know
450
but there's a couple that was leaked i don't know
451
if they're the only one or they're one of many yeah
452
but you know i'm surprised that not more couples accidentally like show
453
that they're together but i guess everyone's a stranger at this point
454
but yeah well i was gonna say the leak it didn't
455
really go anywhere like the tiktok about it only got like 500 likes yeah
456
and everyone's like who cares yeah who cares
457
and find out by the time the season comes out the public doesn't know who these people are
458
so they don't really they're not really invested at this point for season eight
459
which was in what city oh charlotte no uh dc it
460
was dc right no no it wasn't oh it was the
461
oh oh oh oh no it was the guy the skater
462
boy he's definitely not from dc um we just talked about
463
joey um where does he look like he's from minnesota minnesota
464
they all look like they're from minnesota i was like i
465
knew it was one of those i wasn't even thinking i was singing
466
as soon as you said skater boy um well that season yes in conclusion that's the latest season Remember,
467
there's a bunch of pictures of them like having the bachelorette
468
and bachelor parties and then the women standing outside of a bridal shop.
469
Pictures of that was leaked before season eight came out.
470
And I remember like no one cared.
471
Yeah.
472
Like everyone's like, OK.
473
And then I actually went back to look at those leaked photos, specifically the picture where the women are standing outside of a bridal shop.
474
And you see like Monica, you see Sarah.
475
funny um and
476
so yeah no i i think unfortunately like i don't think people really care until until later
477
and even then i feel like viewership is just it's it's like dying a little yeah
478
but regardless i'm very excited
479
and we're excited to recap obviously we'll be recapping perfect match season three um
480
and then love is blind uk and love is blind us
481
so full docket coming up can i just say I'm really proud of you for remembering all the dates
482
because I was listening to you spew them off earlier and I was like, how the F do you remember?
483
No, one thing about me.
484
They're etched in your brain.
485
Look, I don't remember a lot of things, but I'll remember the big things.
486
Yeah.
487
You're like, the dates got them clocked.
488
No, I'll remember the dates.
489
So one thing about me is like, when it comes to love is blind, I just like remember a lot.
490
You do retain that information.
491
Yeah.
492
Meanwhile, mine's like in through one year out the other.
493
If you ask me, give me a recap of what happened with Lydia Milton, Aaliyah and Uche from Love is Mine season five.
494
I could tell you.
495
I could tell you the gist.
496
I feel like past season three.
497
That one's a hard one for me.
498
OK, so I saw this TikTok where this man was proposing and it was like in a public place.
499
There was like multiple people, probably like 60 to 70 people watching in Paris.
500
And the girl genuinely looked a little terrified, like walked up to him and then ran off into the crowd.
501
Like the girl he was proposing to.
502
Yes.
503
And she just like runs off.
504
And this kind of triggered something in my brain.
505
Like, OK, I have to ask you, when you get proposed to one.
506
I already did.
507
And so did you.
508
Yes.
509
Don't forget it.
510
not me being like would you want it to be a public proposal but we did it on
511
national tv like literally not even national worldwide international worldwide bish worldwide it's mr worldwide that's just gonna say
512
that you're like mr worldwide yeah um but like would you be comfortable with a public proposal
513
no right wait wait let me think about this would i
514
be comfortable with a okay actually i would be okay with a public proposal
515
if he like we were talking about getting engaged okay that's my other follow-up like it isn't honestly necessary right
516
that couples talk about getting married before your partner just you
517
know pops the question i think that's a red flag
518
if he's like surprise like yeah i'm proposing like i feel like you have to talk about it
519
and make sure like both of you are on the same page about getting engaged completely agree
520
if it's a surprise i feel like that's actually a red
521
flag like you there's no conversations prior except for like little silly you know goose ones yeah like you know
522
when you'll say like i'm gonna marry you like you don't really mean it
523
but like you have to have an actual conversation how do
524
you feel about talking about rings beforehand like do you would
525
you want your partner to just pick out your ring for you?
526
Or would you like kind of throw some subtle hints here and there of what you're looking for?
527
No, I would straight up tell him.
528
I'd be like, this is my Pinterest board.
529
Yes, exactly.
530
And this is the exact ring I want.
531
You see, I don't be like veer off too far from like what I want.
532
I honestly, I feel like I wouldn't be so direct with it.
533
But there will be signs.
534
I will be buying magazines of wedding things and I will be putting them everywhere.
535
Magazines.
536
I I will literally buys magazines.
537
I will for this occasion.
538
This is how I would do it.
539
I would tell you exactly what I wanted, like a picture of the ring, the settings, everything like this is what I want.
540
Yeah.
541
And also I would tell you this is what I don't want.
542
And then I would send my boyfriend to you.
543
Yes.
544
I'd be like, talk to Deep D.
545
She'll tell you what you need to do.
546
Absolutely.
547
Or I'll be like sending him reels online.
548
Be like, look how pretty this is.
549
Because I feel like one thing about guys is if you give them too much freedom to choose something out for you.
550
You know, like sometimes I just feel like they go overboard.
551
Yeah, exactly.
552
And honestly, I just feel like why leave it up to them?
553
They're not the ones wearing it.
554
Yeah, constantly.
555
Like, exactly.
556
I don't want something to but I have little hands like, you know, I just need something that that fits perfectly.
557
Exactly.
558
And like, I don't want a five carat.
559
That's gonna like my I'm gonna get get arthritis.
560
You know, like, it's just no true.
561
Like, I don't want that.
562
Yeah.
563
It's going to weigh me down.
564
Yeah.
565
I was like, sorry, I need something smaller.
566
Yeah.
567
Also, like, I'm not trying to be subject to like thieves.
568
Yeah.
569
Like, I was like, I don't want to be robbed.
570
Not at all.
571
Not at all.
572
I was like, I want a booger sized drink.
573
OK, when I saw this video, though, the girl looked genuinely terrified.
574
And it like just literally sparked something in me.
575
And I was like, why are people not talking about marriage before proposing?
576
And it's just like such a backwards mentality thinking that the man has complete control over.
577
Exactly.
578
Like when you're going to reach the next stage of your life.
579
Like, no, like talk to your partner and see if she's ready for it.
580
I feel like there's like two reasons why she would run.
581
One, she's getting a panic attack.
582
Like she's like, OK, too many people.
583
Like I feel a lot of pressure right now.
584
I just like can't do this.
585
Yeah.
586
Or two, she's just like, what the fuck?
587
Yeah actually there's a third reason
588
and it's like i want this to go viral yeah that's
589
true i wonder people do anything for a little viral video yeah
590
because his response afterwards he was just like being over the top
591
and you know what i don't even care if it was fake
592
because i still am curious about the proposal situation wait it's actually really funny
593
so she's running away but she has to go up like these flights of stairs
594
and she's like like you're like like why not go straight
595
and i was like there's a lot of directions you could have gone
596
but you had to go up these flights of stairs that are like slowing you down.
597
She's like, like going up.
598
And I was like, you know, that's an immediate flight or flight response.
599
Yeah.
600
She's like, I got to get the F out of here.
601
I don't care which way I'm going.
602
I'm going.
603
If you propose to someone and they ran away, I feel like that's it's over.
604
Oh, 100 percent.
605
Just don't even call her.
606
Yeah.
607
Like, like, take the L.
608
Yep.
609
Dunzo.
610
Yeah.
611
Watch her come back and be like, I'm sorry.
612
I just got staged, right?
613
I actually want to be with you.
614
No, I know.
615
That's why I don't think I could take her back.
616
I'd be like, you know, I'm sorry.
617
You should know your partner better and understand what she would like.
618
For pop essays who are engaged, who have gotten proposed to you, like, did you tell your partner how you want to be proposed to?
619
I guess not exactly.
620
But like, where did you specify like you want it to be a private moment or you want, you know, your partner to do something big?
621
Did you tell your partner about the type of ring you wanted?
622
Or did you give them like free reign?
623
Like, I'm very curious, because I feel like for me, the normal way is to tell your partner, like, I want it to be a private moment.
624
Or if you are okay with it being a public proposal, and like the timeframe you want it to happen, like, it's gonna happen within the next few months.
625
Yeah, because you also have to have your nails ready.
626
Yeah.
627
You know, like, maybe she ran away because she's like, Oh, my God, I didn't even get my nails done.
628
Yeah.
629
Like, you know, like, I gotta go get manicure like a bear right now.
630
I, okay, here's my thing.
631
I think like having a conversation about when is important.
632
And I think potentially also ring.
633
But honestly, I'm not like huge on the ring thing.
634
Like, I feel like you can have some freedom with it.
635
Let's say you wanted a princess cut diamond.
636
And he got you like an oval shaped emerald.
637
Yeah.
638
Yeah, I be OK with it.
639
I think it really just depends in the moment.
640
Here's my thing.
641
I feel like a proposal is so important because it tells you so many signs about your partner.
642
I don't want to tell them how to do it and where to do it because that is a test.
643
Do you know me?
644
Do you have we had convos like I want it to be a surprise
645
because it's going to say so much about my partner and how much he listens to me.
646
OK, but can I tell you as your best friend?
647
I don't even know how you want to be proposed to.
648
If your boyfriend came to me and was like, how should I propose to Deepti?
649
Natalie.
650
I'd be like, you need to create a flower wall.
651
No. That says, Deepti, please marry me.
652
Bitch, you know I love to travel.
653
It needs to be a destination proposal.
654
It has to be in Chicago.
655
No. In front of the lake.
656
Also.
657
And it better be a scavenger hunt.
658
I was like, take that bitch all over the city.
659
I did.
660
I did see a couple getting engaged on a boat on the river and it was really pretty.
661
I saw that too.
662
I was like, that's gorgeous.
663
But do I want it to happen there?
664
No, because we're always on the boat.
665
Yeah, because you I feel like sure you would say like, my partner has to know me, but like, no, no, no, no, no, no, they he better listen.
666
That's a quality we are looking for.
667
And I feel like what would you what maybe he's listening now?
668
What do you want?
669
Why don't you just straight up tell him?
670
Honestly, it's just so relationship dependent.
671
Like, what if like we had significant moments somewhere?
672
Or like he told me I love you for the first time in a certain spot.
673
And that's where he proposes.
674
Like there's just so many like romantic sentiments that I just don't know what my future could look like.
675
It could go anywhere.
676
I don't know much about men, but one thing I know about men is sometimes I feel you just need to tell them.
677
You're right.
678
Sometimes you do need to tell them.
679
And I will tell him I feel like certain things, but there's also other things I'm like, no, I want to be surprised.
680
I want to see how thoughtful you are.
681
Actually, that's kind of true because I feel like my partner
682
would know that he has to at least set up a camera.
683
Yeah.
684
Like, because I love videotaping private moments.
685
Not like that.
686
Yeah, I was like, you know, like things that happen, like, I don't know, when I'm with my cousins and we're laughing or when I'm with my grandfather and we're just having lunch.
687
Like I like candid.
688
I like videotaping those moments to like watch them back.
689
Like I like remembering how young I was in the moment or what that moment felt like.
690
So I guess I would want my partner to know like, yeah, you have to videotape that so that we can look back on
691
that one day or children can look back on that one day and we have that like memorialized.
692
Yeah.
693
But I don't think, you know, like I don't want it to just be like, you know, like we're sitting on the couch.
694
He's like, remember me?
695
That's when I was like, yeah, absolutely not.
696
I feel like I learned a lot from my brother proposing and my sister in law likes nice things, you know, like she it needed to be nice.
697
And I feel like he knew that
698
and the way he set it up was so perfect and
699
so like surprising
700
but did she tell him like how she wanted it no
701
not at all she's just like proposed to me however i think they did talk about rings obviously
702
but that was pretty much it but he did it in such a romantic way
703
and he told her that it was gonna be like her friend was taking her to some like um nfl fundraiser event.
704
So she had to dress up and look nice.
705
I remember on that day, she was just like, oh, just like throw on something.
706
And we're like, no, no, no, no, you should put this on.
707
And so we're like trying to convince her otherwise.
708
And then he had all of her friends
709
and family line up in a row and he was waiting with their dog at the end.
710
And every single one of us handed her a rose.
711
So by the end, she had like a bouquet of flowers.
712
And then he got done with me but would you want to be proposed
713
that way i don't know yes i think it was
714
so pretty and just having all like your family do you think
715
that like the man who wants to propose to you will
716
know that's how you want to be proposed to i think
717
so i feel like well then the way i thought you
718
want to is very often do i even know you no here's the thing though i think it's
719
so situational because you can find the romance in a lot of situations there's a lot of proposal ideas
720
that could be be very romantic and beautiful you know
721
so I'm like not honed in on one thing yeah like
722
I'm not very specific on like you got to do it
723
this way it's moreover I want this type of ring
724
because I'm going to be wearing it forever
725
but that's yeah no I draw the line I think I will say
726
when it comes to the ring I'm not particular
727
but I just want something so simple
728
and not big yeah I don't like showy yeah I don't like showy just
729
because you know I'm such a scaredy cat like I'm not trying to get like, you know, like robbed.
730
Dude.
731
And I am the worst ever, but I lose everything.
732
Find me something where like, you'll be okay if I lose it.
733
Yeah.
734
We won't be having a panic attack.
735
Or it's like get insurance on the ring.
736
100%.
737
I feel like we could go all day with this, but I want our pot besties to tell us like,
738
when you got engaged, did you know it was happening around the time that it actually happened?
739
Did you and your partner talk about it?
740
you guys talk about the ring
741
and how you would like to be proposed to like I
742
just want to know like what's like the I don't want to say right thing
743
but what's the non-controlling way to go about yeah and more
744
so like what are the tactics you use to kind of
745
plant the seed in your partner's brain of how you want things to happen
746
because I feel like every woman is
747
so different they're gonna want different things yeah I need to
748
know more of like the tactics used to get what you literally please send us a dm
749
but speaking about dms i got
750
so many dms from all of you on how you guys
751
met your partners i would say the majority said like through
752
a dating app they were like yep download a dating app yeah take a chance
753
so i did it i'm on multiple yeah good thing i'm
754
on none now oh we're on different different levels i already had one
755
but the one that i was on like you can't filter by location.
756
So I was matching with people from like different cities.
757
And that's hard.
758
That's how I met the guy who lived in a different state.
759
And I was just like, I don't think long distance.
760
That's just not in my cards right now.
761
I don't think I could do it again after New York boy.
762
I downloaded another one hinge, which obviously could like filter people by city.
763
But anyways, I got it.
764
And I'll keep you guys updated.
765
I'm on a little hinge adventure let's go I love it for you I met all of my exes organically
766
so I was like I you know I'm just gonna try
767
it I'm gonna use it as like a real way to
768
meet someone instead of just like you know like swiping just
769
cuz yeah honestly I need to be convinced by you more
770
because every time I do the dating app thing I just get
771
so deterred from it I'm just like oh I don't like it I don't want it
772
but anyways thank you pod besties for sending us all the dms we love you
773
and make sure you leave a review and subscribe.
774
See you next Wednesday.
775

What You'll Learn from This Video
This lively conversation is perfect for practicing casual storytelling and expressing strong opinions—two key speaking skills for real-life English! You’ll learn how to describe a viral moment with energy (like "this clip goes viral" or "literally everywhere") and how to emphasize points using phrases like "honestly, the audacity" or "a hundred percent." These phrases make your speech sound natural and engaging, just like a native.
Listen For These Sounds
Pay attention to connected speech in the dialogue! Phrases like "got caught" blend into "gotcaught" (the "t" softens), and "they're like" becomes "they'relike" (linking the "r" and "l"). You’ll also hear reductions: "I'm not going to get caught" shortens to "I'm not gonna get caught," and "did you guys" sounds like "didja guys." These small changes make speech flow—master them, and you’ll sound more fluent!
Say It Like a Native with the Shadowing Technique
Want to mirror the speakers’ rhythm and stress? Try the shadowing technique (also called "shadowspeak"): play a short clip, pause, and repeat it immediately, copying their tone and pace. Notice how they stress words like "KARMA" or "BAD CHOICES" to show emotion. For example, when they say, "your bad choices will always catch up to you," stress "bad" and "always" to match their emphasis. Practice this daily, and you’ll quickly improve English pronunciation and sound more confident. Remember: the key is to mimic not just the words, but the feeling behind them—that’s what makes shadow speak so effective!
Ready to start? Hit play, pause, and repeat—you’ll be nailing natural English in no time!
Grammar in this video
The structures the speaker uses most, with the exact words from the video:
| Structure | In the video |
|---|---|
| Conditional sentences if + clause, will/would + verb — a condition and its result | if these were my parents, I'd be |
| “Used to” used to + verb — a past habit or state that is no longer true | used to do · used to dread · used to get |
| Present perfect have/has + past participle — a past action that still matters now | has gone · haven't seen · i've actually seen |
| Passive voice be + past participle — the focus is on what happens, not who does it | was exposed · be shocked · is caught |
What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
