  Speaker 1: An excellent wedding reception song right there. 106.7 Light FM.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Uptown Funk, too.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: A good one from him. It's Cubby, Christine, producer Kristen.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: And the reason I brought up a wedding reception, I'm
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: just talking weddings here with you about a new trend that's.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Kind of a great idea. Do we like this? Yeah.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: What do you think? Give us a text at 44363.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, so there is a trend now because we know
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: how expensive weddings are. And people RSVP and you've got
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: it booked and you've paid for their seats and their
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: dinner and everything that goes with it.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Sometimes you even have to tell what kind of dinner
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: you want. Yeah, it's all done. You check off the box.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Right, it's all set. And it costs you a lot
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: of money. And then these people can't make it for
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: some reason.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: Last minute cancellation.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Kind of last minute cancellation. So some couples are now
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: selling those seats.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: This is brilliant.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You might as well make some money back.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I'm imagining they do. They pick a sum that's not
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: like super, super expensive, like something a little fair. So
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: it feels like a bit of a deal for the
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: person to go to a wedding where they don't know anyone.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: And you're making a little bit more money than you
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: would have.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: Right. But they say, you know, these wedding crashers have
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: been vetted. They go through a website, make sure, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: they're OK. And they actually have a lot of fun
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: because they're having dinner, they're dancing and they're celebrating somebody's
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: big day. The people who have done it said they've
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: been embraced by the couple, the family. It's just like
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: it's a party.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: But it could happen on a moment's notice.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Like you could be at home and you get like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a text or an email if you've already signed up
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: for the service. Yeah.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Like, oh, my God, honey, we got to go. There's
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: a wedding 30 minutes away. We're having dinner there.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: That's how I envision how it happens.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: You get to get dressed up at weddings. You know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: that's a good vibe. That's a happy vibe.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: So it kind of reminds me of the app you've
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: heard of too good to go. We've talked about this before.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: There's an app called too good to go. And you
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: can look at places in your area that are getting
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: rid of food that they couldn't sell. So say there's
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: a bagel store nearby where you live, Christine.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: At 7 o'clock at night, they'll be like, oh, man,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: we have all these bagels we never sold today. Let's
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: just get rid of them. And they put out a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: notification and you can get like 20 bagels for two bucks.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: Because they just want to get them out.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: And the food's not being wasted. I love that.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Right. And the food's not being wasted. Right.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: So, yeah. So this is, you can check into this if,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: why not this weekend? Have a little party at somebody's wedding.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: But you may not know until the last minute, right?
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Hit us up at 44363.
