Happy Birthday to my smokin’ hot wife! She started dating me when I just a wee little lad. A 17 year old El Copy Goat. That’s how I know she was after me for my looks, not my money. 🤣🤣🤣 Now we’ve been together 16 YEARS! (That’s older than some of you newbs have been alive😜) Unc has a lot of stories displaying my wife’s infinite wisdom… HERE’S A STORY ABOUT THE DAY I THREW MY BED OUT THE WINDOW.True story... When Adriana and I got married — I was 19, she was 20. We rented a luxurious little townhouse in our downtown area. (For a whopping $900/mo - that's lunch at chipotle in 2026 LOL) Three stories. Marble counter tops. Stone fireplace. It was the first place we’d ever lived outside of our parents home… And we LOVED it. We stayed there for a couple of years but then my job changed. I had to drive almost an hour to work. (Another reason 9-5’s are of the devil) So we decided to get… A BRAND SPANKIN’ NEW APARTMENT ACROSS TOWN.I called my best friend Dylan to help us move. Here's was the problem... All the HUGE furniture was on the third floor... Thankfully, we got most everything downstairs (while hitting every single wall on the way) except… The freaking bed frame! We flipped, turned, lifted, PIVOTED! Nothing worked! So I’m standing over the bedframe absolutely exhausted! 🥵🥵🥵 We’ve been moving all freaking day. I look at Dylan and say: ALIN: Alright bro, what do you think? We’ve tried to fit it down the stairs… it won’t go. DYLAN: Will it fit through the window? (You see all the ORIGINAL thinking that used to happen before AI!?) I look at the window. Then look back at Dylan. Window. Dylan. Window. Dylan. Adri walks in— ADRI: Are you guys trying to throw the BED out of the WINDOW!? DYLAN: Noooo… not throw… we’re gonna tie a rope to it and shimmy it down! (”Shimmy” feels safe, right?) ALIN: 🫢 Do you think it’s a good idea? ADRI: This is the dumbest idea you two have ever had. (Now I’m convinced this is a brilliant idea) Dylan looks at me. DYLAN: Sounds like we’re throwing the bed out of the window bro. I start chanting... ALIN: SHIM-MY. SHIM-MY. SHIM-MY! Next thing I know I’m tying a rope to my IKEA bed frame! 🤣 Adriana is standing in the backyard with her phone whipped out recording this… Dylan and I have got the bed frame officially through the window and started shimmy-ing it… Then Dylan, like the genius he is, blurts out… DYLAN: Watch out! Just in case. Could not have been two seconds later… THE ROPE SNAPS & THE BED FRAME FLIES 3 STORIES DOWN! 💥Wood flies everywhere! Adriana is just starting at us. Dylan looks at me… “Guess you need a new bed frame, bro.” And thus began a 16 year journey where I stopped listening to my bro-friends and started listening to my wife. Which is not only good marriage advice… It’s wonderful Direct Response Copywriting advice! 😜 Cause there’s a lot of Bro-Marketers out there trying to convince you of “bed frame out of window” tactics. These little bros were just a twinkle in their daddy’s eye when I got into the game. So I’ma learn ya a thing or two. Here’s a video on how to get ahead of 99% of copywriters in the next 6-12 months. Gobble that down my friend and enjoy! Your CopyCreator amigo, Alin “Listens To His Wife and Seasoned Marketers Only” Dragu
