Speaker 1 (00:00):
Right now the world needs a positive, uplifting segment to
restore our faith in humanity and remind us that everything
is going to be okay. Yes, but we couldn't find
anything like that, so instead we're.

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Doing a chance Hey Love, Chance It Love, Chance It Love.

Speaker 1 (00:25):
It's broken Jeffrey in the morning. And if you've never
heard a Chance at Love before, it's been a while
since We've gone a long time. But it's a saucy
little game we came up with to test your relationship potential.
And since it was Valentine's Day recently, we had Brooke
play it with her husband on their date.

Speaker 3 (00:45):
Now I was wondering a lexis.

Speaker 1 (00:48):
We gave her a stack of mystery love envelopes, each
one with a different romantic question inside, and Brooke and
her husband had to open them and answer the questions honestly,
no matter how awkward or embarrassing it might be.

Speaker 4 (01:00):
Can I just say, Michael hates doing this game, and
it was by you to plan Valentine's Day, So I
did wait until we were quite a few drinks in.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
That's okaya, And yeah, by the end of this, when
we hear all the audio, we will determine if their
marriage is happy in thriving or flatlining and begging the
hot young medic to give it mouth to mouth.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
No, but we did invite a hot young medic to
give us heart health tipsy.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
Sure, let's find out. As we listened to Brook and
her husband to open up their first Chance at Love card.

Speaker 5 (01:40):
Sing it for me chance jents loo, Okay, number one? Brook?

Speaker 6 (01:52):
Between you and Michael? Who said I love you first?
And how did they say it? Tell the story? Do
you remember who said it first?

Speaker 5 (02:00):
Yeah, of course I do.

Speaker 3 (02:02):
I said it first. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (02:04):
I remember being at your little tiny apartment in downtown,
and I remember being so in love that I couldn't
keep it in anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
And I said I.

Speaker 6 (02:13):
Love you and you said, oh, thank you.

Speaker 5 (02:19):
I was appreciative.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
Do you remember and then like a month later, you
set it back. Do you remember where we were when
you set it back to me?

Speaker 5 (02:27):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (02:27):
After we hiked up and you had sweat coming down
your back and I was sure I was gonna die.

Speaker 5 (02:37):
All it took was death for you to fall in
love with me. Death and a lot of sweat.

Speaker 1 (02:43):
Of course, Brooks said it first. Is there any scenario
where Brook isn't the first one to speak up, except
for maybe with her mother.

Speaker 3 (02:49):
And the lie you guys.

Speaker 4 (02:50):
Honestly, that was the first time I ever said it
first to a man.

Speaker 3 (02:53):
Why were you so condescending? Like I remember, were in
your tiny little baby.

Speaker 1 (02:57):
Apartment in the worst part of town.

Speaker 4 (03:01):
The window and the apartment building would blast classical music
to keep the homeless people away at the door. Yes,
it was like so loud that no one could even sleep.
I was right across from some service it's shelters.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
I thought you were going to take that opportunity to
defend your husband, but I was wrong. You went doubled down.

Speaker 5 (03:25):
So I don't know.

Speaker 1 (03:27):
Maybe the next question things will get a little bit romantic,
A little bit hotter.

Speaker 3 (03:31):
Was romantic, it wasn't something's.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
In your mind. Let's hear a question too.

Speaker 7 (03:39):
If you were forced to get a tattoo somewhere in
your body to honor your spouse, and it can't just
be their name, what tattoo would you get and why?

Speaker 6 (03:53):
Brook answer first, Uh, oh, I know what I could get.
I I could get right on my underwear line, a
nice line of perfect grass.

Speaker 7 (04:04):
Ooh ooh, okay, speak in my language.

Speaker 6 (04:10):
And then there'd be a little lawnmower that looked like
it was like.

Speaker 7 (04:14):
Really manicure in the grass, even beautiful. Yeah, I want
that tattoo too.

Speaker 3 (04:21):
What would you get to dedicate.

Speaker 5 (04:22):
To dedicate to you.

Speaker 7 (04:26):
I would probably get some kind of awesome design of
our minivan with the four of us in sarcastic.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
I hate the minivan.

Speaker 5 (04:35):
Kids love it. I love it.

Speaker 6 (04:37):
But it's about You're supposed to dedicate the tattoo to me.

Speaker 7 (04:40):
In dedicating it to you, I'm bringing joy to our
dog and to our two kids, and to me that's
eighty percent.

Speaker 6 (04:47):
You know what, if you get a minivan tattooed on you,
you'll never have sex again after you know me. If
I died and you got a minivan tattooed on you,
it'd be over for you.

Speaker 5 (04:57):
Not thinking about sex with anyone else. All right, all right,
so let.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Me get the straight me Van tattoo unbangable. But woman
with crab grass getting more over her underwear line.

Speaker 3 (05:13):
Don't super hot, don't you dare say crab grass? My
husband loves his grass.

Speaker 4 (05:17):
You never allowed crab blooe Kentucky grass whatever.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
That's why I word where you broke. The tattoo gets
messed up a little in the grass isn't perfect.

Speaker 1 (05:27):
We're two questions in and we've only heard minimal arguing
and belittling from Brooking her husbandslfe.

Speaker 3 (05:35):
From other women. Yeah, you missed that part.

Speaker 1 (05:39):
I die pretty good for a ten year marriage. So
let's see how question three goes.

Speaker 5 (05:45):
Chance at love number four you, Oh, they don't need that.

Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yourself.

Speaker 7 (05:54):
French is considered the language of love. Ooh la la,
So in your best French accent, please flirt with each
other for thirty seconds. Brooke, don't take up the entire time.
Everyone knows you talk a lot. Please attempt to seduce
your spouse using your sexy French accent.

Speaker 5 (06:19):
We we we.

Speaker 3 (06:22):
Je no, no, no sense.

Speaker 5 (06:28):
Tell me I look beautiful tonight? Oh? Next?

Speaker 6 (06:35):
Next sixty are you sixty two?

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Character talk about taking a wrong turn in Paris ending
up on Perv Street.

Speaker 4 (06:49):
That is two years of friendship college and all I
can remember is my name is and I smoke.

Speaker 3 (06:55):
I don't like any language.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
You're still like, ah, well Brook, You've offended all six
of our French listeners. But at this point, Brook's probably
nineteen wine coolers deep, which actually votes well for her
husband's chances with her that night. Will the tension grow
even stronger from here? We're about to find out when

(07:16):
we come back and hear more from these two legally
bonded individuals as they open their final three cards and
determine if there really is a chance at love in
their marriage. We're gonna do it right after.

Speaker 5 (07:28):
This Chitce're not going to play that.

Speaker 7 (07:36):
This is our story, So.

Speaker 4 (07:38):
You're trying to be funny, and it's not funny.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
We are in the middle of Chance of Love Married
Edition with Brooke and her sweet husband Michael. We got
a new intro. They played the game the other week
during their Valentine's Day date and alexis you've I've seen
Brooke and her husband together outside of work?

Speaker 3 (08:02):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (08:03):
How many more years do you think are.

Speaker 3 (08:04):
Left on this match? There? They are so identical.

Speaker 1 (08:10):
You can't even assign a number to it. That's not good.
But anyway, if you're just tuning in, they've been answering
mystery love questions about each other to test the strength
of their marital bond. Three have been answered. We've got
three left to go, so let's listen as they open
up their next Chance at Love envelope.

Speaker 7 (08:27):
It's well known that Brooke loves to cook meals for
her family. Michael, please tell us your favorite meal that
Brick makes and one thing you wish you would stop
cooking forever. Well, I love Brick's ability to look in
the fridge and find ingredients that can make a meal,

(08:54):
but sometimes that leads to nastiness. Kids don't want it.
I don't want it, but I have to want it.

Speaker 3 (09:03):
Do you want it by a cookie?

Speaker 5 (09:05):
I mean maybe twice twice a week.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
The Indian this week?

Speaker 7 (09:10):
Yeah, just you're combining different vegetables with spices, with fruits.

Speaker 8 (09:16):
Like, Okay, we don't need to keep talking. We're good,
We're good. Maybe the question, yeah, you answered it. Okay,
you said one thing more than one thing.

Speaker 3 (09:27):
You said basically once a week.

Speaker 5 (09:28):
Twice a week.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
Interesting, he never ever got to what meal he loves
that you may? Yeah, was that part of the question,
was the first part of the question.

Speaker 4 (09:38):
The problem is that there's not really a theme of like,
he makes five things and I know exactly what those
things are.

Speaker 1 (09:48):
Sometimes you don't even know what you're cooking.

Speaker 4 (09:50):
I feel like most white girls don't use any spices
or seasonings like Alexis, but you.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
Over compensate for all of them. Let's do it.

Speaker 3 (10:00):
Is this gonna tear?

Speaker 1 (10:02):
I will say, there does seem to be passion happening
between the two of you.

Speaker 3 (10:06):
I didn't get that from that.

Speaker 1 (10:08):
I'm not saying it's good passion, but it is definitely passionate.

Speaker 3 (10:12):
We started heading down the wrong road.

Speaker 1 (10:15):
There's maybe we can swerve back onto the right road. Okay,
there we go. As we get to our next chance
at love envelope.

Speaker 6 (10:24):
Oh, think of a famous children's song or nursery rhyme
that you think perfectly encapsulates who your spouse is. Brook,
Please give your answer first.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
Hmmm.

Speaker 6 (10:39):
I would go I would just sing row or you boat,
but just all the wrong lyrics because you don't know
any lyric to any song ever. So you would sing
row row Row, Let's get into canoe the gently down
the river.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
Happily we will go down the river and the party.

Speaker 6 (11:02):
Yeah, that's how you say it.

Speaker 3 (11:08):
It drives the kids absolutely bonkers. They're like, Dad, that's
not how it goes. I imagine party.

Speaker 2 (11:17):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:19):
You just never know what's going to.

Speaker 1 (11:20):
Come out of the mountain, don't YouTube don't really seem
to like to follow the instructions of the questions though,
because it was not.

Speaker 5 (11:26):
What was asked.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
These are all very well thought out, but let's recap
what we've learned so far. You forced him to say
I love you by pressuring him and saying it first.

Speaker 4 (11:35):
No, no, no, I just scared him because I took
him to the top of a mountain and we weren't
prepared to the very top of a mountain.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
It's very snowy, and he thought he was going to die.

Speaker 1 (11:43):
Got it a threat of death. He's not a big
fan of your cooking or your French accent.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
Just twice a week, he's five days a week he loves.

Speaker 1 (11:52):
But the good news is he is sticking around because
you had kids with him and locked him down. So
that is a positive. Smarter you illegal, very very good, Brook.
But here we are. We've made it to our final
chance at love question already, and perhaps we will get
the answer that the world has been wondering. Is this

(12:13):
marriage meant to be? Let's find out here we go.

Speaker 7 (12:20):
Brooke is always telling the show that the single biggest
regret of her life because she didn't capture her marriage
proposal so she could post it on her Instagram for
cheap legs. So Michael, please try and recreate your original
proposal by saying exactly what you said to Brooke on

(12:45):
that day. The original proposal.

Speaker 5 (12:48):
Was we were what they well, Mike.

Speaker 7 (12:53):
No, no, I gotta I gotta set this, I gotta
set the stage. No this high desert, juniper bushes, sage brush.

Speaker 5 (13:04):
They want all the details, they want the words.

Speaker 7 (13:08):
The words were, Brook, Yes, you.

Speaker 5 (13:16):
Are so sweet.

Speaker 7 (13:18):
You don't remember it?

Speaker 5 (13:19):
Do you remember what I said?

Speaker 6 (13:21):
You talked about how amazing I was, and how you
wanted to spend the rest of your life with me,
how you wanted me to have your babies.

Speaker 5 (13:31):
Yeah, I don't remember any of that.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
You know, when people with PTSD are forced to remember
traumatic events from their past, kind of what Michael sounded like.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
In that to hear more about the bushes all around here.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
It was a really really sweet proposal, and we actually,
you don't want to have to bring that was the question.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
That man didn't even know what was happening while it
was happening.

Speaker 4 (13:58):
That was lost for forty five minutes afterwards, because you
just pay attention to where we had hiked out to.

Speaker 3 (14:05):
I love you, and we propose you're almost dying.

Speaker 4 (14:07):
Everything we couldn't find our way back to the house.
I was legitimately worried about it was getting dark.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
You're like scared and love Yes.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
That's how she gets him to act on his words on.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
The marriage based on mortal fear, and that is true strength.

Speaker 6 (14:23):
We are out of time here.

Speaker 1 (14:26):
We need to know is this marriage meant to last
or is it doomed to fail? He has agreed to
leave it up to the listeners to the text in
the seven eight, five nine too, we've got a divorced
lawyer on the line justin case, and somebody to set
up a romantic vacate on the other line. Depending on
what you text in that was Chance that Love Marriage edition,
