The story then picks up where the previous episode left off, with the host working for Goodwill and preparing to meet his future wife, Denise, who was in radio sales.Key points from the episode include:Meeting Denise: The host, a fifth-year college student at Auburn, was managing a Goodwill store when Denise, who worked at WJHO Radio, came in to sell him advertising.The Car Accident: The night before meeting Denise, the host was in a severe car accident with his roommate. He was walking home because his car wasn't working when his roommate picked him up. His drunk roommate was driving at 70 mph when he failed to make a turn, hitting a pine tree. The host was thrown through the windshield and landed on the hood, while his roommate bent the steering wheel with his mouth, breaking his jaw and losing all his teeth. Despite his injuries, including glass in his forehead, face, neck, and ears, the host went to work the next day wrapped up "like a mummy".Dating and The Dungeon: The host asked Denise on a coffee date, and she told him that she was drawn to his blue eyes, which were the only visible part of his face. He recounts living in "the dungeon," a crawl space of a house with dirt floors, a cement-floored kitchen and bathroom, and three bedrooms. During one date, Denise had to throw up and went to his house, but she told him to clean the bathroom because it was so "gross". The host also describes parties they would throw in the dungeon, where guests would throw darts at "wolf rats" that ran in front of the TV.Proposal and Wedding: The host proposed to Denise on a cruise he received through a timeshare promotion. He put the ring in his underwear to hide it, and when he got on one knee to propose on the restaurant deck, he couldn't find it. After searching for a moment, he found the ring and re-proposed. Denise's initial response was, "Can I think about it?". The host's friend, "Mad Dog," who had a crush on Denise, warned her about the host's partying habits, but she eventually said yes to the proposal. They were married at the Auburn Arboretum. During the outdoor ceremony, a frat house across the street played the song "Louie, Louie" so loudly that it became their unofficial wedding song. Just as they kissed, a lightning strike occurred, immediately followed by rain.Honeymoon: For their honeymoon, they went to St. Simons Island on a trip won through the host's father-in-law's radio station. Upon arriving at the hotel room, the host attempted to carry Denise over the threshold but accidentally slammed her head into the doorjamb. The next day, they went golfing, and Denise, who rarely played, beat the host because her golf balls would not sink in the water, "walking on water" instead.Podcast Website Facebook Youtube Instagram
