Speaker 1: Hey there, darlin. I thought i'd found you here. What darling,
Speaker 1: I say, it's everyone. It's a Southern thing, you know,
Speaker 1: in Texas, everything everyone's darling person off the treet. Hey, honey,
Speaker 1: we call everyone babes Katie. This is what we do,
Speaker 1: lots of terms of endearment. I didn't mean it in
Speaker 1: any kind of necessarily you know that way. I know
Speaker 1: this is an odd circumstances found ourselves in what Oh
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like your family told me that you
Speaker 1: usually like to hang out in them, well at your
Speaker 1: computer desk, so I thought i'd come in here in check.
Speaker 1: So we're married. This is differend I know, Oh, I know.
Speaker 1: I know it's at a convenience. I know it's definitely
Speaker 1: going to help your family, but I think it'll help,
Speaker 1: you know, my family's interests too, you know, particularly and
Speaker 1: expanding what well. I mean, like, you know, my parents
Speaker 1: are going to get a son in law, so interesting.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they weren't there. They unfortunately couldn't make it.
Speaker 1: They wanted the wedding to happen as soon as possible.
Speaker 1: You're right, in the six month planning period. They just
Speaker 1: my parents haven't been as supportive in my life as
Speaker 1: other parents, you could say, they're a little a little
Speaker 1: preoccupied with other things. So I guess we kind of
Speaker 1: need to get to know each other a little bit better.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I thought that.
Speaker 1: It would be nasty during the six month period to
Speaker 1: spend the time apart and plan as we could, and
Speaker 1: have your family plan as they desired. What I sorry,
Speaker 1: I guess I'm being all thumbs trying to I'm trying
Speaker 1: to make you feel better about this whole thing. It's
Speaker 1: so different, you know, I've clearly neither one of us
Speaker 1: have ever been here before. I don't even think I've
Speaker 1: done a blond date ledlim marry someone blindly. Well, I
Speaker 1: figured since it was a marriage of convenience anyways, we
Speaker 1: had plenty of time to get to know each other.
Speaker 1: I didn't want you to, and your family expressed it too.
Speaker 1: They didn't want you to maybe get to the point
Speaker 1: where you didn't want to this. I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna stop acting like I fully understand what's going on,
Speaker 1: what's going on in your what's going on in that
Speaker 1: beautiful mind. I don't know. Looking at your forehead makes
Speaker 1: me wonder if you're on some magical mystery rad you
Speaker 1: got my head spinning. I don't know what hit me,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure I'll be all right. Those are song lyrics, yes,
Speaker 1: John Legend. Sorry, I guess I'm trying to be romantic.
Speaker 1: I'm trying my best here. I'm absolutely just fumbling. What well,
Speaker 1: I mean, you're super cute and what didn't they send
Speaker 1: a picture of me over to you? Well, they send
Speaker 1: a picture of you over to me. And I've been
Speaker 1: truly this entire time, made the whole six months if
Speaker 1: not going to talk to each other rather difficult. I
Speaker 1: what well? No, I mean, you just got thish, very
Speaker 1: strong exterior feel to you. It feels like you're actively
Speaker 1: trying to robuff people, but you really just want to
Speaker 1: let someone on the inside. And what I always all
Speaker 1: in thats you have peppy dog guys, absolute peppy dog guys.
Speaker 1: You can tell just how sweet, nice and kind hearted
Speaker 1: you are, especially to those that you care about. And
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. I'm hoping, beyond a hope, maybe
Speaker 1: I become one of those that you could care about. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm invading your personal space there, Jesus, I'm trying. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to help you relaxed. Maybe I should just be what. Oh, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I can stay here. That's not a problem. I well,
Speaker 1: I didn't expect you to want me to stay here.
Speaker 1: After all this Babylon. I keep you company, I can't
Speaker 1: keep my head straight. Well, I'm just so nervous. You know,
Speaker 1: this is our first time being a what. No, I
Speaker 1: wasn't expecting anything physical coal here. I mean, anyone could
Speaker 1: walk in.
Speaker 2: It's a parents' house. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm guessing they told you because I saw your
Speaker 1: suitcases packed, I figured would at least take my home
Speaker 1: for a year or two. Yeah, it's separate from your parents,
Speaker 1: and I figured I would meet you here, maybe stay
Speaker 1: a night or two. Everyone get to hang out with
Speaker 1: each other before we head over there. Yeah no, I
Speaker 1: had them tell me some of your favorite things. We've
Speaker 1: painted one of the rooms. It's darker. It's like a
Speaker 1: really dark cherrywood. It's got nice kind of ivory ivory
Speaker 1: Well paint, is that what you'd call it. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm not a professional interior designer, but yeah, I know
Speaker 1: how you like the nice contrasts color. So we made
Speaker 1: sure to have a nice fireplace in it. It's a
Speaker 1: faux fireplace, but it feels realistic and yeah it's nice
Speaker 1: and cozy. So I had them help me design it
Speaker 1: so I fit your needs. What yeah, your puppy dog
Speaker 1: as Yeah, I'm just saying I could tell you have
Speaker 1: a soft side. I didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: I didn't think that would catch you so off guard.
Speaker 1: You back up, Well, no, you remind me a lot
Speaker 1: of my dad. My dad's the exact same way. Goodness,
Speaker 1: I miss what was past tense? Yeah yeah, sorry, No,
Speaker 1: I mean like, well, he hasn't changed, he has the
Speaker 1: same hones. So anyways, back to you. So, I was thinking,
Speaker 1: you know, now that this deal has gone through, your
Speaker 1: family is not really gonna need for money anymore. What
Speaker 1: is it you wanted to do with your life? Oh me,
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna be working. I've been working my entire life.
Speaker 1: But well, yeah, I know the deal helps my family
Speaker 1: as well. It's definitely gonna make it to where I'm
Speaker 1: finally going to have that nice trust. I mean, we
Speaker 1: were already good. It's going to add to our investments.
Speaker 1: And my mom my mom is uh, she's she's she's
Speaker 1: gone down under Australia. Yeah, she's in Australia. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: the under she went to.
Speaker 2: It's what what is.
Speaker 1: That you have there on your computer? No, they looked
Speaker 1: like obituaries. That's that's my mom, okay, and that's my dad.
Speaker 1: So you so you know that I'm an orphan. Okay,
Speaker 1: this isn't funny. I'm not laughing. Yeah. No, the deal
Speaker 1: is solid, the deal is true. No, no, before you can't. No,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit the desk like that.
Speaker 1: I what you need to understand is that I put
Speaker 1: a lot into this deal. I spent two years going
Speaker 1: to the Chamber of Commerce meetings and gallas and getting
Speaker 1: to know everybody and pretending to be drunk so that
Speaker 1: they would spill their secrets in front of me because
Speaker 1: I'm just a cute girl and I don't know what
Speaker 1: they're talking about in business, gaining secrets here, using secrets
Speaker 1: over here, and positioningpace myself into a place where I
Speaker 1: could greatly benefit your family. One favor gets me, another favor,
Speaker 1: gets me another favor, puts me in the room to
Speaker 1: get another favor, and bam, I made it to where
Speaker 1: your family is one of the most wealthy families in
Speaker 1: the sight. And then I use that as leverage to
Speaker 1: get you my goal.
Speaker 2: You, baby, you you're the goal. I have had the
Speaker 2: biggest crush on you for like three or four years. Well, okay,
Speaker 2: I guess I could have told you that. But every
Speaker 2: time I've ever told someone I have a crush on them,
Speaker 2: I like them, I would pursue them. It goes, it
Speaker 2: goes left, it goes bad.
Speaker 1: No, I end up usually dating them, But it just
Speaker 1: whenever I try to have a normal relationship the way
Speaker 1: you're supposed to have it, I just it doesn't work out.
Speaker 1: So I decided to go through an unconventional method arranged marriage.
Speaker 1: You were not someone who thought you were ever going
Speaker 1: to end up in a relationship. You more or less
Speaker 1: have given up on wanting to be with anyone. Because
Speaker 1: I did my research, I knew if I were to
Speaker 1: try to ask you out, you probably would have been scared. Cole,
Speaker 1: you wouldn't have gone out with me. And I really
Speaker 1: really love you, And I really I'm sorry I said it.
Speaker 1: I love you, I do really love you. No, why
Speaker 1: would I go through all of this? Yeah, you know what,
Speaker 1: I may not be the most gorgeous girl on earth,
Speaker 1: but as long as you're just just over average, it's
Speaker 1: not that hard as long as you have a little
Speaker 1: bit of charisma and you just go into those circles
Speaker 1: and gregariously talk and flatter people. You know, ninety percent
Speaker 1: of getting someone to like you is just asking them
Speaker 1: questions about themselves and then asking more probing questions. Yeah, no, seriously,
Speaker 1: that is ninety percent of it. I read this great
Speaker 1: book called the Charisma Myth. Show a ton of interest
Speaker 1: in the other person without giving unsolicited advice, and babam,
Speaker 1: they're gonna go head over hills for you. And so
Speaker 1: I would just sit there and feign interest in all
Speaker 1: these people so that I could get the thing that
Speaker 1: I really am interested in. Your family, and you know what,
Speaker 1: you should be happy. What do you mean manipulation? Of course,
Speaker 1: it's manipulation. Everything in this life is manipulation. Your family
Speaker 1: didn't even wait, you know that. They didn't even give
Speaker 1: it half a second before they said yes. They handed
Speaker 1: you over a silver platter. They didn't go home and
Speaker 1: sleep on it. They didn't wait the customary three to
Speaker 1: seven days to act as if there were something that
Speaker 1: they had to think through. They handed you to me,
Speaker 1: and I gladly accepted. Because you are a prize, and
Speaker 1: clearly so much of a prize they don't deserve. They
Speaker 1: wouldn't or just so, they wouldn't have handed you over
Speaker 1: to you to me like they did. My babe, my darling,
Speaker 1: my love. I get it. You know next to nothing
Speaker 1: about me. I get it. This is this is not
Speaker 1: the way you envisioned any of this happening. I get it.
Speaker 1: You have a lot of emotions going through you right now.
Speaker 1: But what I need you to do is look me
Speaker 1: in the eye. You know, just no, I'm taking your
Speaker 1: hand just here, put it to my face. Just feel
Speaker 1: me pressed against you, and know that you never have
Speaker 1: to work another day in your life. And with these
Speaker 1: skills that I've gained and business realm and just you know,
Speaker 1: wheeling and dealing and basically being the rumble still skin
Speaker 1: of the trusted area, I can provide for her family.
Speaker 1: We can have the type of life that we've always wanted.
Speaker 1: And you'll get to know me, and you'll get to
Speaker 1: love me and just and you'll get to know that
Speaker 1: you have somebody who would do all of this for you.
Speaker 1: I would do anything for you. I love you, So
Speaker 1: why don't you just take that gamble and love me?
Speaker 1: Come on. Look, I'm supposed to spend the night in
Speaker 1: your room anyway, So let's just go up there. Maybe
Speaker 1: we can just lay down, gather yourself, I can lay
Speaker 1: beside you. We can talk this through our first lover spat.
Speaker 1: You know. Hah, I've manipulated you into a marriage with me.
Speaker 1: It's fun. You alreadys said I do. So why don't
Speaker 1: we am speaking of? I do? There's one more thing
Speaker 1: that we should probably be doing, you know, mattress dancing,
Speaker 1: you know, and horizontal tango, you know, knocking boots. No,
Speaker 1: I'm just a I'm just saying we might we need
Speaker 1: to consummate the marriage so that it's a uh copesetic,
Speaker 1: it's a dundeed do me, is what I'm trying to say. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: yeah yeah. But you know, you're right, we can definitely
Speaker 1: have that talk first. But you know, if it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be too difficult for you, I can always just
Speaker 1: chloroform you and get the deed done if that will
Speaker 1: make things easier for no. No, no, okay, last resort
Speaker 1: to know what No, I won't know. It won't be
Speaker 1: a resort at all. By the way, why yes, I
Speaker 1: am not wearing it. That's why I've got a little
Speaker 1: bit of a headlight situation going on with these No
Speaker 1: got you. I thought this would help turn that a
Speaker 1: frown into a UPSat down you know, nice little grin. No,
Speaker 1: you have beautiful lips. I'm just thinking about where else
Speaker 1: they could go. All right, let's let's go show me
Speaker 1: on up to your room, shall I? All right, now,
Speaker 1: I'll answer question you have truthfully. I will not bring
Speaker 1: the chloro form. My promise. All right, let's go. Hey guys,
Speaker 1: Nina Alexander here inspiration for this video. U Zena is
Speaker 1: a little bit obsessed. I've never gone this far I have.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty gregarious. I'm introverted. A lot of people think
Speaker 1: introverted mean shy. It doesn't. It just means that your
Speaker 1: social battery wears down when you're around a ton of people,
Speaker 1: versus extroverted, which means your social battery like builds when
Speaker 1: you're around a lot of people. I'm an introvert, but
Speaker 1: I tend to be around a lot of people. So
Speaker 1: Zena is always tired. And I used to go to
Speaker 1: these business gallows and whatnot that my my local chamber
Speaker 1: of Commerce and B and I groups put on because
Speaker 1: I had to because if we're and it was so
Speaker 1: interesting the things that people would say around me because
Speaker 1: they just thought cute girl doesn't know anything. And I
Speaker 1: actually ended up hearing about a deal that I didn't
Speaker 1: have an NDA for and the guy was actually kind
Speaker 1: of a jerk. His son was really sweet, though. This
Speaker 1: was this cute little nerd guy that I got to
Speaker 1: I was hitting on at the party, but I essentially
Speaker 1: went over to his competition and dropped this little tip
Speaker 1: bit of information, partially because the guy was very insulting,
Speaker 1: like why are you here type things, and the guy's
Speaker 1: son so mean. Guy's son overheard me doing it, and
Speaker 1: we were giggling off together, and I don't know how
Speaker 1: we got on the topic of arranged marriages. He wasn't
Speaker 1: in one, neither was I. But anyways, I was thinking
Speaker 1: last night when my brain broke about how I do
Speaker 1: a lot of yondre stuff and I would be interesting
Speaker 1: to see yondreda and arranged marriage, and then this memory
Speaker 1: popped up. So it's very loosely based off of the memory,
Speaker 1: but that is where I pulled from and thought it
Speaker 1: was funny. And then I also peppered in a little
Speaker 1: bit of how none of my relationships have ever gone
Speaker 1: very well because Zena can't do traditional to save her life.
Speaker 1: Anytime I go to chase after someone, it's it's like
Speaker 1: they turned into husein the bolt and they run in
Speaker 1: the opposite direction. Yet when someone hits on me, I
Speaker 1: never know. I have no idea. You have to clunk
Speaker 1: me upside the head and tell me, and even then
Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna think you're telling a joke. I'm weird.
Speaker 1: All that to say, I'm weird. Anyways, I'm super stoked
Speaker 1: about our thirty hour live stream, which depending on when
Speaker 1: you're hearing this, it is scheduled over on YouTube. If
Speaker 1: you click on live stream, you can get a notification
Speaker 1: for I think two pm EEST on Friday, so we'll
Speaker 1: be going for thirty hours, which I know sounds like
Speaker 1: a lot. Xena is used to it. Zina has CPTC.
Speaker 1: No advice, please, I am working with professionals and because
Speaker 1: of that, I stay up for twenty four to forty
Speaker 1: eight hours. Not all CPTs expresses the same, but this
Speaker 1: is how mine expresses. So this is actually like the
Speaker 1: amount of time I'm normally up. Anyways, this is perfectly fine.
Speaker 1: It's in my wheelhouse. I just get to spend it
Speaker 1: with you guys. The only difference is I'm probably gonna
Speaker 1: pop some throat loss enges because I'm not used to
Speaker 1: talking that much. But I also know how to take
Speaker 1: care of myself in that regard. So anyways, Xena is
Speaker 1: babbling and I will see you guys in the next video. Bye.
