TJ Power 0:00
Just before we start, your stomach probably thinks that all potatoes are mashed. No, if you're swallowing them whole, like I'd know you. That's true. Wow. It probably thinks all food is mashed and there's no such thing as a nice looking fucking plate of food. Yeah, everything's food. Broccoli is a nice plant looking thing, like a tree.
Matt Ford 0:27
What's the weirdest thing you've swallowed?
TJ Power 0:32
Probably semen.
Matt Ford 0:33
What?
Sarah-Jane Adams 0:41
So, we need some advice. There's a guy called Jackson and he wants your advice.
Matt Ford 0:49
What's he want our advice about? Yeah, what...
Sarah-Jane Adams 0:51
Love advice.
Matt Ford 0:52
Really?
Sarah-Jane Adams 0:53
Yeah. Really?
TJ Power 0:54
Well then. Jack, is he here? What's going on?
Sarah-Jane Adams 0:58
He's not. This came through in the DMs a little while ago. And it was so sweet. He said, how do I drop the L word to my girlfriend for the very first time? And so I didn't see this for a while. And then I went back and was like, oh, my God, that's such a great question. Have you done it yet? Maybe we could help you. And he goes, I won't lie, boys, I have. Might ask your opinion on dropping it for the first time, though. Was it a bad move to do it at this time? And then he sent this voice memo.
Unknown 1:29
Basically, my missus had a really shit day. she uh had a big fight with her dad you know feeling super upset and anyway she comes over to mine and obviously i've been feeling this way for a while you know like i've i've loved her fucking six months or whatever like before we even started dating and stuff and You know, I've been waiting for the right time to say it and never really had the chance. We had a 10-day holiday together before we were actually dating, just seeing each other. And, you know, I was looking for the right time. I didn't want to say it. I got scared. Anyway, we were lying in bed the other night and...

When is the right time to say 'I love you' to your partner?

Unknown 2:13
Uh, she's, you know, she's crying and she's like, oh, like, trying to go to sleep, trying to get me to distract her and, you know, take her mind off things and I'm, you know, I just, uh, look into her eyes and I'm, uh, I say I love you. Um... It definitely, definitely distracted her, got her mind off it. But I'm just, just thinking, is that the right thing to do? Cos, uh... Now I'm, you know, I'm kind of stressing about it. But, you know, she needs to know and I wanted to let her know. Yeah. Oh. Jackson really got to me. I know. That was sweet.
Sarah-Jane Adams 2:54
Besides us laughing, I actually feel like crying. No, I think I was laughing because I was overwhelmed.
Matt Ford 2:58
I'm like, how did it go? How was the response? Was he talking in sloth? Speed? He was one calm man.
Sarah-Jane Adams 3:06
I think we're used to listening to everyone in 0.5, like speeding it up.
TJ Power 3:10
1.5, yeah.
Sarah-Jane Adams 3:11
1.5. So now when we listen to normal pace, we get sloth.
TJ Power 3:16
He's a calm man. Oh man, I felt heartbroken for him at the start there. He sounded sad.
Matt Ford 3:20
You know when everyone usually sends them voice memos?
TJ Power 3:23
They're a little bit nervous and like... He was just sitting in it. What a legend. He had that blinky gone and he ran someone over, I think, from over there. You hear that big bump? The red lights. But that was... I don't really know.
Matt Ford 3:36
But I don't think that was a bad time. I think that's a great time. You're cheering them up. And you know, like, she's sad about her dad. They've had a fight. And then, you know, when they're vulnerable and you're just like, you know what? Like... I love you. I got you. You know, we're going to get through this together.
TJ Power 3:50
What'd she say back?
Sarah-Jane Adams 3:52
I assume she said it back.
TJ Power 3:53
Jeez, I hope so. It didn't sound like it. It didn't sound like it. That's what I was thinking.

Was saying 'I love you' during a vulnerable moment the right move?

TJ Power 3:56
I was like, what was the response?
Sarah-Jane Adams 3:57
Oh, maybe she didn't.
TJ Power 3:58
Oh, dude, did you hear his tone of voice? Yeah. It's like he'd been at a funeral.
Sarah-Jane Adams 4:04
Jackson, can we get confirmation on this?
TJ Power 4:06
I mean, I hope she did. I'm sure she did. But like, I mean, look, it's a rough, it's a weird time to say it. But... In a way, is it like giving someone flowers when you've done something wrong? You know, we had this discussion. Yeah.
Sarah-Jane Adams 4:21
You know what?
TJ Power 4:22
It's a bit like... Yeah, I know what you're saying. I wonder... Instead of just giving them to them... At a happy time. Yeah. It's like, oh, you're sad. I'm going to tell you this and hopefully it makes everything better.
