We're not gonna let this one go here. We were just asking if you know what you're getting for Christmas. Either you're snooping around or you accidentally found out what you were getting for Christmas and you have to put that Academy Award on Christmas morning. Then give us a call and let us know. And Amber called us a little bit late to get into the first batch of calls, but this is too good to let go. Hey, Amber. Good morning. You're on the voice disguiser.

[E]

Okay, thank you. You're never gonna believe this. I was taking my boyfriend's. He works in Atlanta and he has to work in a suit. So he has about three of them and I was taking one of them to the cleaners and of course I cleaned out the pockets and there was a ring in one of them and a Salomon Brothers receipt.

[A]

Yes.

[E]

And it fits perfectly and it's beautiful. So I have no idea how I'm gonna pull this off, but I'm getting engaged for Christmas. So.

[D]

Congratulations. There's a lot of pressure here though, for her to put the oh my God, I'm so surprised face on this.

[F]

Oh, here's the thing. Here's the thing. It's actually brilliant because nobody is ever surprised when they get engaged. Women are not surprised. Ever.

[G]

Never.

[F]

Guys we know.

[E]

Yeah.

[D]

Well, let me ask you this question. To that point. Are you not surprised? Because you always assume that it's coming, even on days it's not. You've already set your mentality that today might be the day. So when it finally does happen.

[E]

Because we've been. We've been dating for three years. See, I've been. I've been thinking he was gonna do this since we were dating for a year. Right. It's kind of surprising, but not. I've been wanting this for so long. I wanted it to be a surprise, but apparently it's not gonna be.

[C]

Now.

[F]

Is he freaking out because like he doesn't know where the ring is? You know, like. Right.

[E]

Uh huh. He has been tearing the. He's been tearing the house apart.

[D]

So where are you gonna put it for him to find?

[E]

But I stuck it. He has this box that he keeps his cufflinks in that for some strange reason he hasn't opened yet. And it's stuck in there because sometimes he hides things in there.

[D]

So is it possible that he'll look all around the house and not think to look in that cufflink box and he'll go all Christmas without the engagement ring?

[E]

It's possible.

[F]

You gotta find something to dress up for where he needs those cuff lines.

[E]

Yes. Hey, we.

[B]

We have a black tie dinner tomorrow. For what? I'm not really sure. I'm gonna. I'm actually gonna go look some stuff up right now. But it's tomorrow and you need your tuxedo.

[D]

That's great. Hey Amber, let me put you on hold. Cause I wanna talk to you when we get back from our break and find out if he went to look for the ring in the cufflink box and if you got engaged or not. Okay.

[E]

All right, all right.

[D]

Hold on. Like, for sure. She will. She will not allow Christmas to roll around.

[F]

No.

[D]

And not somehow, some way point him in that direction.
