The guy goes, this is the last time this is happening. Come on, boys. From behind us in the haunted trailer slash barn, we hear the garage door open and hear chainsaws. Are you kidding me? Out comes these people with masks like clowns. Scary. The guy with the gun is charging one way at us. The clowns are coming the other way at us. We're surrounded in the middle of nowhere.
Nobody knows where we are.
I'm kind of laughing because I'm so nervous. Like I'm having fight or flight, but freeze, I guess. Yeah. I look at Paul. He doesn't look nervous about them. He's like afraid of me in the moment. Oh, no.
Did you do this? Oh, I wasn't there. He planned it. He was totally in love. Oh, my. Oh my God.
He kneels down and pulls the ring out. We're still surrounded.
It's so scary.
So he reached out to the Trail of Terror and said, hey, this is where we had our first date. I know it's your off season. Do you mind if we just come on the property so I can propose? And they're like, absolutely. And then the guy sends a message like an hour later and is like, do you want us to scare her? And sends this whole...
plot for how they would scare me and he was really unsure and finally was like we could do like a light scare like thinking that they're gonna pop out somewhere like the gun was not mentioned threatening of our lives the chainsaws he's got the ring out i feel like i blacked out like i really don't remember this but i know that i plucked it out of the box and i started walking to the car it was so pissed i was like i'm taking my ring i'm getting the fuck out of here
No, he's like laughing. He's like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. And I turn around, all the clown people start taking their mask off. Two of the scary people are our super good friends that are photographers and they captured the whole thing. So that's how we have the pictures.
Yeah, and they brought a bottle of champagne. She had it ready. And then I started to relax. That is so funny. It was really scary.
It's so funny because the guy who sent the whole plot that works at the trail, he's like, I'm going to see if I can round up some guys. Larry's got volleyball tonight or whatever. They're just normal dudes, but he's like, my scarers are around. They're just jonesing to scare some people.
And is your life fun like this? He is so fun. Oh, I love this. We have two little kids now and I still pick on him for this. And he's like, it's so special. But like, I was traumatized for a bit, but I wouldn't trade it. Obviously, I got to talk to you guys.
Yeah. Look, it's memorable. For sure. My friends that took the photos and videos, they did our wedding too. So they made this whole beautiful wedding video. And at the end, he has the footage of the proposal. And it's so loud and clear at the end. I say, white guys with guns are my biggest fear. If he was just a clown, I'd be like, okay, weirdo. Yes, I'm scared.
But the man threatening my life really took it to another level.
You were right to know this would get picked.
I don't think we're going to have a story like this. I really had a feeling. I'm so glad. He is here. And also my siblings are here. If they could just peek their heads into the sound booth. Hi there. Hi. This is the husband.
Yes, I'm spreading the word. Can I just quickly shout out my best friend in Germany? She just had a baby and she's a big arm cherry. So I wanted to shout Jordan out.
Shout out Jordan. Shout out.
Hi.
I have an orange and a peach.
It would. You're in a legit sound booth. I'm at my brother's house. He does voice acting commercials and stuff. As soon as I got the email, I was like, I need the setup. Ha ha ha.
No, I'm in Syracuse, New York. Oh, okay.
Remotely. Nice.
Since you guys started doing anonymous, I was waiting for this prompt. I said, when this prompt comes out, I am locked in. They're going to pick it. And everybody in my life is like, Please don't get your hopes up. There's millions of people that listen and I said, no, this is it. May 2017, my boyfriend and I had been dating for like five years. We're talking about getting engaged.
May 1st, we go look at rings. I pick out a ring that I love. I know he buys it that day, even though he makes me wait outside. So after May 1st, I'm on high alert, nails done, dressed up. Anywhere we're hanging out, I'm looking good. I'm ready to go. That's our proposal. May 15th, he says, we're gonna go out to dinner, wear a nice dress. I'm gonna pick you up.
And I'm like, okay, it's gonna happen. So we start driving. He's driving past all of our regular spots. We're starting to get into some weird back roads and unfamiliar territory. After about 40 minutes in the car, he starts to slow down. I see a sign on the side of the road that I recognize. Trail of Terror. What the fuck? This is where he and I had our first date.
There's a huge open field, which in peak season is packed with people. People are drinking, people are having snacks, they're hanging out with their friends. There's a big projector playing scary movies. And then in the far right corner of the field, there's a trail that goes through the woods that you pay to get a ticket and you walk down and they jump out and scare you.
Year round? No, this is just an October thing. So we had our first date like the week before Halloween 2012. So to the right of the field, it's not a haunted house, but it's like a trailer connected to a barn. They makeshifted a haunted house. So that's a separate attraction, but basically an empty lot, dirt parking lot. Nobody's there. We pull in. I'm like, it's our first date.
This is where it's going to happen. But I am oldest daughter, Virgo, notorious rule follower. Don't like to take risks. I'm not a trespasser. He is the opposite. He's youngest son. He's like, whatever, let's go. There's no other cars. There's no sign of life in this place. It's the middle of May. It's a beautiful sunny day.
So he leads me out into the middle of the big field and he's holding my hands. He's looking at me. We're chatting and I know it's about to happen. I'm letting it sink in while still being like... I'm afraid of getting in trouble. As we're chatting from the tree line away from the trail, away from the barn, we hear a voice going, hey, what the fuck are you doing here?
in our sappy moment and we look over and this man bucket hat sunglasses shotgun starts charging at us no I've told you kids get the fuck out of here no trespassing and I'm like I knew this was gonna happen but I'm panicking I'm like sir I'm so sorry we're leaving right now and he's like absolutely fucking not this is not happening again and I oh I'm like, this is how I'm about to die.
And my parents are going to find out that I trespassed and I went to jail. And that's how I was murdered by this man with a shotgun.
I was just sitting back here trying to remember. And I think it was like some sort of like Roman film. I don't know. It was like an action movie in like 2013. And I was like a 13 year old. And I just like walked out to go like fuck around the little plaza with my friends. Like we had nothing to do with the film itself.
99, 99. I snuck in. Oh, you're still sick. That's cool.
Actually, one of my best friends in high school had a pair and he would like hide the wheels in his pockets. And then when the bell would ring, he'd like pop them in and then just roll through the hallways. They could never. Sick. It was awesome.
Yeah, it seems like double dipping a little bit. But I also agree with your point, Josh, that like you can do one up real big and then do one, you know, a little smaller on a budget to celebrate. But yeah, seems like a little bit of a double dip there.
You know what? For the moment, you have to be. You have to be. You have to be. But I'd also probably like it if he kissed Adrienne Brody more.
Well, thank you. I when I remember like he started coming on the scene when I was probably around like 10 years old. And I just thought he had like such a beautiful voice. And like as a, you know, young, like I had just started playing guitar maybe for like a year or so at that point.
And I thought it was so cool because it was like, oh, he got like discovered on YouTube and he just like put himself out there and his talent kind of carried him. And Then I remember, like, the tide shifting very quickly with, like, all the kids in school being like, Justin Bieber, da-da-da. You know, like, all the boys would make fun because all the girls liked him.
So that was kind of, like, the first exposure to, like, you know, the push and pull, I guess, of what the perception may be for someone like that. But, yeah, I cannot imagine what that pressure must be, you know? And he's got a kid now, right? Did he give birth? Yeah. So...
Everything, everything, everything and anything under the sun. But I think it's hilarious that they made sure to include that like Shutterfly was one of the forms because now I'm just thinking about like him getting a bunch of customized scrapbooks of like different people.
Yeah, I didn't really go to parties in high school. So I don't think I think the first time that I ever did spin the bottle was probably in college. But yeah, I mean, I went on like some double dates in eighth grade where like the guy I was with was like he had to kiss me first before the other guy would kiss the other girl like they were going to do it at the same time.
Family time can be hard to come by, but there is nothing more important, and that's why we're here. I'm Olivia Marr. And I'm Malona Marr. And I'm Madrona Marr. And welcome to our house, House of Marr. Every week, we'll be hanging out with coffee, tea, or wine in hand, welcoming you into our house for some real talk, some pep talks, and the occasional bit of tough love.
You're basically about to become the fourth Marr sister. But lucky for you, we can't steal your favorite jeans.
That was how she would open it.
Yeah.
Right.
I think that's reverse psychology.
Something's a little different. Yeah.
Thank you so much. Yes.
Oh, you saw it happening to me.
That's genius. That's 12.

Absolutely.
I loved those books.
Circling it.
Yeah.

No.
That was good. Oh, my God.
Oh. Don't I love it?
I got little name tags.
She's been wheeling it. She's been in that town. She's been in that town crafting.
I don't mind it.
Why'd you have to bring that everywhere?
The hallowed halls.
Every night.
Glasses of milk.
Oh, my God.
He's going to throw that sticker out.
I mean, well, no, you were better than us.
And now you guys are better than me.
The little baby.
I'm used to being coached.
That is a warning.
Wow.

Ask people that buy these yogurts, so like the cafeteria or others, why they want to buy this type of yogurt.
My name's Olivia. I'm a local PT. You can find me at Moved with Olivia on Instagram. I did a 5K. It was a postpartum benchmark, so my baby is six months. So that was hard, but I think I've got my time according to my watch. I feel a bit dead. It's always a lovely run. I'm local to Ryegate, and it's so nice to have them come out, and also the effort it takes to put these things together.
So glad it's a drive for them as well. Walked a little bit in the hill, but got there at the end.
I am an analyst for a commercial real estate firm.
Mostly Chicago office buildings.
That is Mission Impossible.
Books that do not exist.
Hi, I'm Olivia Zastrow and I'm calling from Chicago, Illinois. Chicago?
You know, I think Maz's story of magnet implants is going to become the hot romance trope of 2025.
Hi, Peter. Hi, panel. This is Olivia from Washington, D.C. Hey, Olivia. That's great. What do you do there in Washington? I work in abortion rights, which is always an exciting time. Oh, yeah. But when I'm not doing that, I am just kicking it with my cat and playing curling. I'm sorry, you said playing curling? I do play curling. Shout out to the Potomac Curling Club in Laurel, Maryland.
