0:00 I was stone cold sober but Nikki was drunk and I couldn't die okay that helped a lot Vicodin [Music] all right check this out uh this is a video of something that happened at a New Year's Eve party in New York um in the middle of this big party uh this random I don't know how random they are didn't seem like a lot of people knew them but a guy started a proposal to his girl oh I saw that I thought this happened in Hawaii oh you said New York is it white oh this is New York up there it said New Year's up there just kidding New Year's Eve it happened it's a New Year's Eve party Not NYC no it does New Year's Eve in NYC oh I don't know why it

0:51 says NY at the end but it is Hawaii maybe it's in New York Hawaii on the island of New York yeah yeah it's in the Bronx Waikiki yeah also New York Post posted it so it could be yeah I think it's I was thinking about New Year a rooftop venue in Hawaii yeah so here's um it's a little awkward but let me just show it to you guys first life oh no [Music] oh no [Music] she's like yelling at him right now she's like you ████ you hear that what'd you say he goes it's a simple yes or no so she said yes with a question mark

1:42 which is kind of weird and why was she thinking so long yeah she takes a long time to answer he ends up going it's a simple yes or no and she goes yes and then moments later a guy could ever say here they are assemble yes or no here here's the uh there's a moments later moments later moments later they're on the side and they're arguing uh why did you do this to me yeah there's is someone just recording it um I like how they're just so public proposals are rough though how do we feel about public proposal it's on her too it's on both of them right is it I think it's on both of them crazy how come well it's like sometimes it's on the guide to no a little bit about what your lady is

2:32 yeah it's definitely on the guide to know if it what the answer should already be yeah and then the setting too yeah and the but then the girl also gets a ton of the spotlight what did it say in captions when they're fighting afterwards I just was saying like um they immediately started fighting afterward oh so I did a fairly public proposal but like in my situation for over a year I already knew exactly what ring she wanted we discussed different things it's not the guy guys should know yeah 100 like I would not have done that in front of even my only and my public proposal was in front of my like closest friends and peers in my community and her family and stuff like that right you gotta remember I had to know like 10 times I had to call her best friends I had to call her sisters like it takes a lot I had to sit down with her mom and dad and ask for her there was a lot of planning right yeah there was like 12 steps okay this is my probably my

3:22 favorite public proposal video of all time this one's real of all time is real oh that way [Laughter] no okay yeah oh you know that would be uh well she had to say yeah she looked at the camera oh she Whispers in his ears he's like I just met you yesterday oh wait for it wait for it watch the mascot the mascot wait for it wait for it oh oh she's dipping the ████ out of this

4:12 dipping she's like oh ████ Tracy McGrady he's laughing that's a wild thing to happen and go back to that basketball game hahaha I love the character oh man the mask that's rough bro but someone to own this is on the guy bro there's another angle if you were the mascots like as she's walking away he's like it's so relaxing you know what that you know what okay my this is where my brain immediately goes my brain goes to he feels that it's Rocky and he's trying to either one lock it in or he doesn't know her even like that yeah but he's trying to lock it in either way he's

5:03 trying to unlock it the ████ in because he's afraid of losing the grip that's why I think it's always on the guy yeah you already know he's prematurely doing it because he's just trying to lock it in because he's afraid of losing something because he probably knows that he doesn't have her oh it's also weird when it's like like with Anthony's proposal that is probably the perfect version of that because it's almost like everything around is tailored for that moment versus when you go to a public thing and then you tell like you tell the person hey uh I'm gonna propose my girl can you announce it and then no one knows you yeah and you're just like in the moment is this random people yeah and some women have like an ideal way they want to get proposed to like some people just don't want to be in the spotlight around yeah I ████ blame the movies dude that we grew up

5:58 dude remember 10 Things I Hate About You this guy's like serenading this ████ and all this stuff holy ████ watch your members that we said why does that I was like she was dying of cancer yeah I didn't say that but Anthony you got you got Nina's permission to like do a public thing or like how did that work uh it wasn't so much um it wasn't like Public public it was actually Ryan was there too um and it was that yeah but we weren't there yeah it wasn't funny yeah so that sucks sorry continue to start I was technically working so it's a little different I mean I hadn't met you yet but still yeah I didn't know you either but I knew him but he didn't invite me it was coveted time so I was only inviting my friends we were closing the studio so we did a last minute showcase uh and it was honestly the the energy it was crazy I'll talk about this the energy during

6:48 that time was actually really somber because like we had yeah it was just super like a sad and depressing thing everyone's trying to like prep like moving out the furniture like liquidating stuff selling this like you know all of our hopes and dreams that we put in this place so recently you know like the the energy is really weird but at the same time um it was that time where I was thinking about proposing anyway or I knew I was in that space in my relationship and then I was like well we got to do this last minute showcase uh as the last hoorah for this place and I was like everybody's gonna be there everyone important is going to be there I was like holy ████ this is the only time I'm gonna have everybody in like one spot for something so I was like oh snap so that was what triggered like the possibility of it but again I had for over a year a PDF of all of like Nita's wishes for like the type of ring and

7:39 like all the specification like we had talked about many times you know what I mean and then knowing like a month beforehand of this showcase that we were gonna have a very select amount of people because again during covid like that we're gonna be there I still was like okay I have to go ask her parents I have to go see if her family's in town because if they're not there it doesn't matter like why would I propose in front of just my friends and not hurt it's about her yeah and obviously my friends are her friends too but like if her family's not there and that means the most if her best friends aren't there it's like what am I doing it for am I really just doing it for me but then because everyone was available I was like okay I have to do it did she like was she able to suspect anything was gonna happen like why is all my family I ████ up as usual I I ████ up because here's the thing like everything was like turn Zoom meetings right there's no in-person stuff so as we're preparing the Showcase and I'm like you know obviously one of the leaders of this kind of thing so I'm like directing this

8:29 I'm like figuring out all the planning for the Showcase I'm in a zoom and this is when I was living in downtown L.A at one of my apartments that didn't have um you remember this too like my my office was really the laundry room and literally the laundry machine is right here there's no door to it so in a one studio apartment flat type thing that has no door on the room and you're it's in downtown it's like if you talk here it doesn't matter if she's in the bedroom you can't hear us and we'd be Skyping and then Nina just comes to the bathrooms loading laundry yeah it's a really really low-key kind of humble office of mine right and we're on the zoom meeting talking about the ████ showcase and stuff and then I just said something about the last act which was my proposal and I knew right when I said it I like ████ just wide-eyed and everybody on the screen was like and Nino's in the living room oh heard it she did she for sure did you

9:20 ever ask her I asked her afterwards yeah I said afterwards and she already knew yeah after I performed what a ████ ████ I was so ████ nosy watch TV with headphones pretend there's a door here she just knew something was gonna happen that night oh okay but she had no idea what happened there's still no way that like dude you can't hide from these ████ oh yeah I hate these ████ but at least at least you she was prepped to probably look good for that day she was because she didn't she wouldn't come in all bummed out and she was like ████ women are so ████ observant but then they're so good at keeping it secret they're like God damn it like when I proposed to Nikki he was in Hawaii and like Nikki totally told her mom that she thought I was proposing I only told her dad by the way because I

10:11 asked for his permission pre of course which by the way was a pimp move my my father told me not to do that really right it would have been a huge mistake he's like he's like well if he says no Then you gotta go buy that and I was like no if he says no I want to know what the ████ going on so I can fix it um right like why don't you like me ████ let's fix this ████ right and then he is a ████ I'm more of a confrontational person my father's not my father's a better man than I'll ever be can't do much about it right but I was like okay I'm gonna propose to Nikki and Hawaii that's gonna be sick I guess they were staying in a hotel and I put on this like sunscreen that as soon as you get in the water it like comes off of you like as soon as you're in it wasn't like water safe or whatever so by the time it's like eight o'clock

11:01 and we're going to dinner I'm a ████ Red Lobster dude I'm so burned that I could barely move my ████ arms like I'm like oh God and like you know how when you're sunburned like if you feel your own shirt it's like radiating heat like a microwave it was so bad it's like little needles the cotton feels like needles yeah but then I had this resin that I booked like ████ month before and I was like getting this done with the rezzy right but then I just watched the Colts lose and I was like this could be a bad Omen you know what I mean but that so then I'm so nervous I'm ████ ████ the whole time and also my dad told me not to bring the ring because like it's worth a lot of money and then like maybe it'll get like if I'm like bringing it in like somebody will ████ with it at the airport and I'm like whatever old man I'm literally not listening to you I'm I brought it in snuck it in have

11:52 like a bulge in my shirt like this the ring [Music] I'm a ████ idiot right so so by the time I'm actually proposing I'm like ████ shaking and ████ and then you know Nikki starts crying I start crying while I'm proposing her and ████ and she's like and then yes afterwards I'm like we should tell our family and ████ and she's like she's like yeah I already told my mom you're gonna do it and I know my dad told her and she's like she's like permission but no um I just knew I just ████ knew and I was like did you find the ring and she's like no I didn't know where the ring I didn't know you had a ring at all but I knew you were gonna do it and I told she told like half of her family that I was doing yeah yeah these ████ are ████ crazy they're crazy

12:42 you know how crazy they are so I had this PDF that I mentioned like six minutes ago right about this ████ ring I've had this for like a year two weeks before I'm about to ████ propose she's like actually I want this type of diamond oh and in my mind I was like I don't give a ████ like I already got this yeah I've been sitting on the street for like four months I want princess coming around like a high conflict Diamond hey you know what is crazy though I will say like being an observer of how you executed that ████ perfect yeah because like we're all there thinking we're gonna see a dance showcase changes are performing suddenly it starts to become more of an Anthony solo the music gets softer the lights feel more magical everyone went to the bathroom during that time no it was like perfect the good thing Nick wasn't there you guys have seen Nick watch King's videos

13:34 you could really feel like the atmosphere is Shifting and everyone's like you start hearing the whole crowd going like what like they start to figure it out and then everyone goes like this and we look to the second floor behind the glass her whole family lined up that we didn't even know it was here that's a baller this guy puts on million dollar shows like a nutcracker Soldier and then he's just like gets down and everyone's like dude thanks Anthony yeah everyone's creaming their panties I was I was really drunk by this point though that's a baller move and I I probably should not have drank them why did you drink so much I was nervous dude it was it was like perfect execution yeah I was just nervous and then I was just like I I look back on that video and I'm like I should have probably taken three less shots and just said like straight to the point I was stone cold sober but Nikki

14:26 was drunk and I drugged her okay that helped a lot Vicodin [Music] thank you [Music] foreign
