  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm a Steelers fan if you didn't see big thing coming into the city of Pittsburgh.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: The NFL draft.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_00: NFL draft.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_00: They can't stop talking about it for better or worse.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_01: And this episode will come out like right before the draft.
• 2:52
  SPEAKER_00: Right before it.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: Hopefully that the Steelers do well.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: Personally, I hope they do not draft a quarterback round one.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: We'll see.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: Because it's not Mendoza.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sure you know exactly about it.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know who that is.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: That's man.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 3:07
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry about this, man.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_00: No, but the city is ramping up for it.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: The stage outside of Across looks outstanding.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_00: And it's two and a half weeks away until the draft actually begins.
• 3:21
  SPEAKER_00: And people are concerned locally.
• 3:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm concerned.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Where are we parking?
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_01: Where are we parking?
• 3:26
  SPEAKER_01: How are we getting in and out of the city without you know sitting in hour plus traffic?
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_01: No, thank you.
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_00: I probably am going to be watching it from the confines of my own house.
• 3:36
  SPEAKER_00: But maybe stop on that Saturday.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_00: Probably not there on that Thursday, Friday.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Just unfortunate.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going to be honest.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_00: I'm not going any of the days back.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: I didn't even put you on the free ticket list.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: I put up me and my son to go and see it.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: So we'll see how it goes.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: I'm excited to like actually have people come in from the outside and see what the city's all about whenever there's 700,000 plus people that are there.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, Pittsburgh's an amazing city.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: I love it.
• 4:06
  SPEAKER_00: Tons of food.
• 4:07
  SPEAKER_00: That's really good.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: We moved back from Florida, and everyone always asked us why did you move back from living in paradise?
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_00: We lived in the Keys.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_00: And I always say, like, it's home.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's a place that I wanted to raise our kids at.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: I wanted to have them close to our family.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_01: In Pittsburgh, it's a friendly city, I think.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, friendly city.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_00: To a point.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's not like though, like in New York City or some other cities where people kind of like pass.
• 4:36
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like when you're walking on the streets, people will say hi.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's a little bit, a little bit more friendly.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_00: And fun fact about Cassie and I, whenever we moved into our home, the movie that Tom Hanks did with Mr.
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_00: Rogers, we literally live in Mr.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: Rogers neighborhood.
• 4:52
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: We live where it was filmed at.
• 4:55
  SPEAKER_00: That is a fun fact.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_00: We moved after the fact it got filmed.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_00: Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet Mr.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: Hanks.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_00: If you want to be a guest eventually, hey, this is our pitch.
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: So we're going to dive into our normal.
• 5:06
  SPEAKER_01: We got a really juicy story.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: It deals with office drama and a wedding.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: So it's really good.
• 5:12
  SPEAKER_01: We have some fun segments and we'll wrap up with ABC venue.
• 5:14
  SPEAKER_00: So and again, if you want to submit a story.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you're going to submit it to info at weddingprocast.com.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_01: I think last week we got like 20 new stories rolling in.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: So keep them coming.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: They don't have to be wedding related.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: Obviously, we love the drama in a wedding story.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_01: But if you have any others that are family vacations, holiday parties, corporate retreat, whatever it might be, send the story in.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_01: I got a really good dating story that just came in as well.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, we're going to be playing the field a little bit, not always weddings, but info at weddingprocast.com.

  SPEAKER_01: Book your appointment now by calling 724-929-6633.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: This is my story about my wedding and how my office tried to turn it into a mandatory event for all.
• 6:22
  SPEAKER_01: I wish I was joking.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's still the talk of the office, and people are butthurt they weren't included.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: I changed the names, but everything else is very true, and I don't really feel like changing anything.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_01: This happened while I was working at an insurance agency.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: So think a big office with lots of coworkers.
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_01: I had 20 people alone in my department.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: My name is Kara, and I got engaged on a Friday night, and by Monday, a company-wide email had been blasted out about my engagement, even including photos from my engagement.
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_01: The subject line, Kara is tying the knot.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_01: Let's celebrate.
• 6:53
  SPEAKER_01: This was very weird to me.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_01: No one from my office was at my surprise engagement party.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm not sure why the HR department felt it was appropriate to send it out to everyone.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_01: I've been working there for four years at this time, and I consider these people my acquaintances, so not our friends.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't share too much of my personal life in the office.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_01: There were maybe two or three girls from my department that I was thinking I would invite, but again, I had only been engaged for 48 hours, so I hadn't given it much thought.
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_01: In the body of the email, it encouraged all the people in our office to bring gifts and to stop by to say congrats throughout the week.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_01: It also had my personal address so people could send cards, WTF.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: We got married and we were transitioning from one location to another.
• 7:38
  SPEAKER_00: So everyone at our new job was not invited.
• 7:41
  SPEAKER_00: Was not invited to the wedding.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: Furthermore, everyone from our previous job wasn't.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: But it also was we lived in Florida, we were getting married up north.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: So you're not necessarily gonna have people be there.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: But the when she said three people from her office were going to be invited, it's like that's common.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, there are a couple people that she's friendly with or maybe has worked with for a long time and she wants them to be there, but like not everyone in the office.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: Not everyone.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: And that would be a shock to open your phone or like your email and just see like, hey, Kara's engaged and you see photos of yourself that you didn't give to them.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 8:17
  SPEAKER_00: So that means they creeped on her Facebook or Instagram or wherever she posted at.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: If HR or a company said, Hey, congratulations, we would love to share this with our company.
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: With your approval, can we blast this out?
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: Doesn't seem no, it doesn't seem like they asked for approval.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: Like not one.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no approval.
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: I let it slide thinking that no one would stop by and chat, but my cubicle was decked out with streamers and balloons, and there is engaged there is an engaged AF sash waiting on my chair.
• 8:49
  SPEAKER_01: I'm very introverted, and this made me feel very uncomfortable.
• 8:52
  SPEAKER_01: I thanked everyone in the office, but told them to not make it a big deal, and they begged me to put the sash on and take pictures.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: The whole time I wanted to use PTO and take the day off.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_01: I shot HR an email asking if I could chat with them, and they said yes.
• 9:05
  SPEAKER_01: They actually needed to chat with me as well.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_01: So, okay.
• 9:11
  SPEAKER_01: When I went into Mary's office, she's the HR manager, she told me that I really needed to start separating work and personal life.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_01: And if I wanted to celebrate being engaged in the office, I would need written approval from my manager.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_01: I was shocked.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: Was I getting in trouble for this?
• 9:27
  SPEAKER_01: I assured her I didn't want any extra attention and wanted to chat about the email that HR sent out and how that was drawing the unwanted attention that she's talking about.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_01: Before I could finish, she pulled up photos of me and my sash and turned her screen around, asking if I didn't want it, then why was I laughing and smiling in all the pictures?
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: Someone from my department had taken those pictures and then sent them to HR.
• 9:49
  SPEAKER_01: But again, why did HR send an email without my consent?
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: She said, It's my job to put my foot down and tell people in the office that I don't want to be celebrated, which I did.
• 9:59
  SPEAKER_01: She did mention that two people reported this and didn't want to be around the celebration.
• 10:05
  SPEAKER_01: Funny thing is, I also didn't want it.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_01: I wanted to come to work, do my job, and leave.
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: There was no need for the email or the decorated cubicle.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: I didn't ask for any of it.
• 10:14
  SPEAKER_01: I was annoyed, but ultimately I needed the job, so I continued to work there.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: My fiance and I had booked our venue and I bought the dress quicker than normal.
• 10:22
  SPEAKER_01: Only a six-month engagement.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_01: That's pretty fast.
• 10:25
  SPEAKER_01: Six months.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: I never ever brought the engagement or wedding planning up unless anybody asked.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_01: There was one girl on my team who had a broken engagement the year prior, so I always watched what I said because I did not want to offend her.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: But she was the one who was always bringing it up and asking questions.
• 10:41
  SPEAKER_01: Her name is Caitlin.
• 10:42
  SPEAKER_01: She really wanted to give me all of her old wedding stuff that she didn't get to use.
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_01: And as much as I appreciated the gesture, I only said yes so I didn't have to talk about the wedding anymore in the office.
• 10:53
  SPEAKER_01: I did ultimately decide to invite three girls to the wedding from my team.
• 10:57
  SPEAKER_01: I kept it very quiet and made sure to ask them not to bring anything up.
• 11:01
  SPEAKER_01: But the one girl kept asking if I was inviting Caitlin.
• 11:05
  SPEAKER_01: And I said, no, we don't really have a personal relationship outside of work.
• 11:09
  SPEAKER_01: I think it would be weird to invite her.
• 11:11
  SPEAKER_01: So the girl with the broken engagement is just like pushing wedding stuff on her, and she's not going to invite her to the wedding.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: Fast forward three weeks before my wedding, and the team plans an extended work day for team building, but it ended up being a surprise shower for me.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_00: Hey, love team building though.
• 11:28
  SPEAKER_00: So if you want to do team building for your team, keep doing it.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_01: Keep doing it.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_01: Around 3 p.m., the team started acting off and secretly decorating.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_01: At 4 p.m., the big surprise came out.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_01: A wedding shower for me.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_01: It was a very sweet gesture, but obviously totally unnecessary.
• 11:44
  SPEAKER_01: I saw several gifts and I felt bad that anybody in the office was buying me a gift.
• 11:48
  SPEAKER_01: Much to my surprise, it's a lawn, it's a lingerie shower, even worse than a normal shower.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_01: I have never felt more embarrassed or uncomfortable in the office.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_01: One by one, I have to open the bags in front of my coworker.
• 12:03
  SPEAKER_01: It's a lingerie.
• 12:04
  SPEAKER_01: I wanted to climb under a rock and die.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_01: The fun doesn't stop there.
• 12:09
  SPEAKER_01: They start popping bottles of champagne to celebrate my upcoming wedding.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: Drinking in the office was not on my bingo card.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_01: Some people do like a lingerie shower with their bridesmaids at their bachelorette.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh.
• 12:21
  SPEAKER_01: But like a lot of people don't.
• 12:23
  SPEAKER_01: And but like to do it with your coworkers is so inappropriate and so uncomfortable.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: So I agree.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_01: Like I'd be like, what are we doing here?
• 12:31
  SPEAKER_00: Of the 20 employees that are working with her, she said three that were going to be invited.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 12:37
  SPEAKER_00: So it does not seem like they are close to have a lingerie party.
• 12:42
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't understand why someone would be buying me lingerie from work.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 12:48
  SPEAKER_01: I wanted to clock out and get in my car and drive home, but they had different plans.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: I go to thank everyone, and then Caitlin announces that the bus is pulling up soon.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: And all the ladies are heading out for a bar crawl and a bachelorette.
• 13:01
  SPEAKER_01: My jaw hit the floor.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not prepared.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to go.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: And also, why is Caitlin planning this?
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: We are not close friends.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: I assumed my friends had put this together, but no, it was Caitlin all on her own.
• 13:13
  SPEAKER_01: The bus pulled up, decked out with a last penis forever banner.
• 13:17
  SPEAKER_01: The straws and everything else you can imagine.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: I was shocked.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_01: Why is this happening?
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: I decided to pull Caitlin to the side and ask her.
• 13:25
  SPEAKER_01: She said she had all of these deposits down and decoration spot for her own wedding, and she just wanted to put it to good use.
• 13:32
  SPEAKER_01: I felt bad and I thanked her and we all went out.
• 13:34
  SPEAKER_01: I had my fiance meet us out because I didn't want to be there for too long.
• 13:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I left about an hour and a half into the party and thanked everyone before leaving.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: So basically, Caitlin's saying she had all this stuff for her own bachelorette and her own wedding and needs to get rid of it.
• 13:49
  SPEAKER_01: Let's do it for the office.
• 13:51
  SPEAKER_00: What better than for the office?
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: Terrible choice.
• 13:55
  SPEAKER_01: The next day I get a meeting with HR scheduled on my calendar, and I go into the meeting not sure what exactly was going to be brought up.
• 14:02
  SPEAKER_01: But of course, Mary is there, pissed as ever, asking why I planned a lingerie shower and a bachelorette party during work hours.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: She had no written consent from our manager and was wondering why I did this.
• 14:13
  SPEAKER_01: I assured her I had nothing to do with it, and the department organized this on their own.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: She did not believe me.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: She had photos from the lingerie shower and people at the bar and people popping bottles in the office break room.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: It was terrible.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: She blamed me for the whole thing and threatened that we could all lose our jobs for this.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: I told her Caitlin organized it, and she said, I doubt that.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: Caitlin was the one who complained.
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_01: First off, HR not good at their job.
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_00: Not good at their job.
• 14:41
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like there is always a confidentiality.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 14:45
  SPEAKER_00: When it comes to anyone that reports anything to HR.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: So them going out and though, good for them to do it, but a HR policy is like you don't say the names of who did it.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_01: HR's like, yeah, well, Caitlin complained.
• 15:01
  SPEAKER_01: Caitlin planned it.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_01: I think I would quit at this time.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_01: I could never.
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_01: If this was like causing this much drama over something she didn't want.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_01: The bride did not want this.
• 15:09
  SPEAKER_01: That's when she tried to tell me that I needed to tone it down or decide to invite the whole office, since I felt it was appropriate to flaunt around and ask people to pitch in to throw my party.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_01: She was happy to provide me with the addresses for all my co-workers to give invitations.
• 15:23
  SPEAKER_01: She even printed it out and handed it to me.
• 15:26
  SPEAKER_01: 20 team members plus their spouses.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: I told Mary that I would not be doing that.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: I also find out from the other members that Caitlin gathered$125 per team member to throw the shower.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_01: She did not share that she would be buying lingerie for the gifts or that she was booking a party bus.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_01: So she probably was like, hey, everybody pitched money, we're gonna throw a surprise shower.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: People think they're gonna she's gonna buy stuff off the registry and she goes and buys lingerie.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, again, why was she doing this?
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: She told everyone that that's what I wanted.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: And she was framing me for something that I really didn't want.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: I marched myself back to into my office and asked everyone to gather around.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: And I told every single person that I would be happy to give them their money back, and I didn't want any of yesterday to happen, and that's when Caitlin lost it on me, saying that I was so ungrateful and she wouldn't be attending my wedding if I was gonna act like a witch with a bee after everything that she did for me.
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: She gave me decor, she planned my shower, she planned a bachelorette, and I was ungrateful.
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: I couldn't contain myself anymore after that comment, and I told her she was never invited, and that the whole thing was really weird.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: You guessed it, she reported me again to HR.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: After the last blowout between us, other coworkers started to share how obsessed she was with me and my engagement, and that they felt weird telling her no.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_01: She was so aggressive aggressive, acting as if we hung out outside the office, and I asked her to plan these events.
• 16:57
  SPEAKER_01: And then the three girls from my office that I did invite to the wedding said that every single day she would ask them if she was going to be invited.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_01: And they all told her, probably no, it's gonna be small.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: And she was oddly determined to get an invite and asked us to say good things about her.
• 17:14
  SPEAKER_01: Desperate for an invite.
• 17:17
  SPEAKER_01: She said it would be healing for her to attend the wedding, and it would make sense to attend mine since she had been giving me all of her old wedding stuff, nothing which I was using.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: Caitlin's crazy.
• 17:29
  SPEAKER_01: There were several meetings with HR and Caitlin, and ultimately Caitlin quit.
• 17:33
  SPEAKER_01: The truth came out, and HR did apologize to me.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: I thought that would be the last of Caitlin, but I thought wrong.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: The day of my wedding, I saw her in the parking lot of the church.
• 17:42
  SPEAKER_01: So weird, she never came in.
• 17:45
  SPEAKER_01: She did write me a letter that she mailed to my house, and I got it after the wedding.
• 17:50
  SPEAKER_01: She tried to say that her actions were warranted, and she needed to attend the wedding to get over what she lost from not having her own.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: And she blamed me that she lost her job, but she quit.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: She was a nut job.
• 18:02
  SPEAKER_01: She also said she had every right to be there since I plastered this information all over the internet.
• 18:08
  SPEAKER_01: It was literally only listed on my wedding website.
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: So she searched on the internet for the wedding details.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: After the wedding, people tried to ask me about my wedding.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: I stayed very tight-lipped and never even brought in wedding photos.
• 18:21
  SPEAKER_01: I wish no one ever has to work with the crazy nutcase who gets obsessed with your engagement and tries to sabotage your job and shows up to your wedding but doesn't actually come in.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_01: I'm glad that was the craziest thing to happen because everything else was absolutely perfect.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_01: And my husband and I have been married for eight years.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_01: I quit the insurance job and only talked to the few people that attended my wedding.
• 18:41
  SPEAKER_00: Good for you.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Good for you.
• 18:43
  SPEAKER_00: I think the lesson of the story is to keep your conversations about your personal life at a minimum.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:53
  SPEAKER_00: But a wedding is kind of she never vocalized it.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: They found it, plastered it, starting to think that Caitlin maybe went to HR and said, Hey, this happened.
• 19:01
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think it was Caitlin.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Like it didn't specify in the story, but who else would have turned in photos from her engagement?
• 19:06
  SPEAKER_01: Like even the girls in her office weren't at that engagement party.
• 19:10
  SPEAKER_01: So like they were more of like friends from work.
• 19:13
  SPEAKER_00: And you have friends at work.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's not saying to not become friends with people at work.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 19:17
  SPEAKER_00: But also every work has a Caitlin.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, yeah.
• 19:20
  SPEAKER_01: Somebody that like wants to be involved.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_01: It's like very desperate pick me energy.
• 19:25
  SPEAKER_01: And I feel I feel a little bad for Caitlin because obviously she went through something traumatic, like breaking her own engagement off, doesn't share a backstory there.
• 19:32
  SPEAKER_01: But you cannot obsess over somebody else's like big moment in their day and expect to be invited.
• 19:38
  SPEAKER_01: That's crazy.
• 19:39
  SPEAKER_00: You can kind of form the best friendships at a workplace with a Caitlin involved.
• 19:43
  SPEAKER_00: Because then you guys, if you're talking amongst the office and you are planning a hey, let's go out for a happy hour, and one person starts bringing up like about a Caitlin.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: Then you just go right in.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's like friendship formed.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:00
  SPEAKER_01: It could it can be a friendship former.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_01: HR, also terrible at your job.
• 20:04
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know what HR company that was.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 20:07
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
• 20:08
  SPEAKER_00: We just wrapped up the story of the crazy coworker that thrested herself involved with a coworker's wedding.
• 20:17
  SPEAKER_00: So figured absolutely not.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: Things that you should be sharing and doing with your coworkers.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 20:25
  SPEAKER_00: Microwave fish in the office kitchen at 10:30 a.m.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: I don't think that the time matters.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_02: No.
• 20:35
  SPEAKER_02: 10 30 a.m.
• 20:36
  SPEAKER_00: is early for lunch.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, if you're an early start employee.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, but 10:30 is way too early to be cooking fish in the office.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like 11:30 also is too.
• 20:45
  SPEAKER_01: 1230.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: 11:30.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_01: Like you said, no time is good, but maybe send a warning email like, hey, I packed fish for lunch.
• 20:52
  SPEAKER_00: That's like a a smelly food.
• 20:54
  unknown: Yeah.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_00: I'm on a I'm on a diet.
• 20:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm trying to eat better, which I get.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_00: Fish is a great source of protein.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_00: Like stripes.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:04
  SPEAKER_01: If you're like sharing a kitchen area, like that could really smell it up for everybody else.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 21:08
  SPEAKER_00: No boy no.
• 21:10
  SPEAKER_00: Take speaker phone calls from your cubicle that does not have a door.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not.
• 21:16
  SPEAKER_01: I worked in an office like that for a hot minute that had the cubicles and you can hear everything even when you're on phone calls.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: So I would hate to hear both sides of the phone call going on.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_00: I have never worked in a cubicle setting, but I get like kind of camera shy in a sense of answering a phone call and other people in my office hearing it.
• 21:38
  unknown: Yeah.
• 21:39
  SPEAKER_00: Because then I don't want them to chime in about like how it transpired, what it is.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_00: But sometimes I do the best when I'm like on the side on a phone call.
• 21:46
  SPEAKER_00: I guess that's just me.
• 21:48
  SPEAKER_01: It could just be you.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_01: Also, if you're having like a phone call, you never know what could be brought up.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: People might be talking about personal information or like I don't know.
• 21:57
  SPEAKER_01: Put it on a normal phone call.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: One of the fun I Now look back on it.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: My boss that we had when we lived in Florida, great guy.
• 22:06
  SPEAKER_00: But he would answer if it was in a group setting.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: Most of the time when we called somebody, it was more of like a banter with somebody.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_00: Not always work-related.
• 22:20
  SPEAKER_00: But he would say on the phone call, All right, I got Garrett here.
• 22:23
  SPEAKER_00: Don't say anything bad at him, bad about him.
• 22:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now I'm thinking maybe they were talking ill will of me.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like am I the but he also at the same time, he did it as a joke and he did it to other people.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_01: But it also is like common courtesy.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_01: If you are taking a group call that you're like, I have so-and-so and so-and-so on the call.
• 22:41
  unknown: Yeah.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_01: Like that's normal.
• 22:43
  SPEAKER_01: But like if you're taking a personal call or even a work call, do not do it on speakerphone when other people are near you.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_01: Just take a normal call.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_01: That's all.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: Invite your coworkers to a personal celebration, a baby shower, wedding, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
• 22:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I think this is like an absolutely yes.
• 23:01
  SPEAKER_01: If you have a close relationship with someone and you feel that you want them there to celebrate a special moment in your life, whatever it may be, I don't think there's any problem with inviting a coworker.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: It's just, I do not believe in everybody needs to be invited or nobody can be invited.
• 23:18
  SPEAKER_01: Like it's your personal life.
• 23:19
  SPEAKER_01: You can hang out or have a relationship with anybody in the office.
• 23:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: And if you want to invite them to your wedding or your baby shower, cool.
• 23:26
  unknown: Yeah.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_01: Nobody should be mad about it if they're not invited.
• 23:28
  SPEAKER_00: We've had some of our closest friends be coworkers.
• 23:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 23:32
  SPEAKER_00: It benefits whenever you move away from home and you kind of build more of like a family friendship type of feeling.
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like we would have coworkers that would get together for a Friendsgiving or Christmas holiday.
• 23:47
  SPEAKER_00: We would we're we worked in the hospitality industry.
• 23:50
  SPEAKER_00: So a lot of the time it happened pre or post-holiday.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 23:55
  SPEAKER_00: However, that was your family.
• 23:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, because you didn't have family close.
• 23:59
  SPEAKER_01: So we were like all each other's Yeah.
• 24:01
  SPEAKER_00: So if you were planning a get together with them, it just made you feel more at home.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 24:08
  SPEAKER_00: Got that homesickness out of the way for it.
• 24:11
  SPEAKER_00: Get HR involved because you weren't invited to happy hour with other coworkers.
• 24:18
  SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not.
• 24:19
  SPEAKER_01: I think the only time you should be getting HR involved is like when it's work-related and something is going on that is not appropriate.
• 24:28
  SPEAKER_01: But like people going out for dinner or drinks on their own accord off the clock has nothing to do with work.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: If it's friends that are work co-workers and you are not a friend of those said co-workers, too bad, so sad you weren't invited.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 24:44
  SPEAKER_00: Do not go to HRM.
• 24:45
  SPEAKER_00: We're adults.
• 24:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like you don't you want to be invited, then maybe ask them.
• 24:49
  SPEAKER_00: Because that that is only going to make you not get invited more.
• 24:52
  SPEAKER_00: Correct.
• 24:53
  SPEAKER_00: Find your coworkers on social media and start chatting about their weekend postings in a group setting at work.
• 25:01
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
• 25:02
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 25:03
  SPEAKER_00: Can't do it.
• 25:05
  SPEAKER_00: Especially if you're like rowdy, like, hey, I saw you clubbing on Saturday.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:09
  SPEAKER_01: What you were up?
• 25:10
  SPEAKER_01: What were you up to?
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: Like people have every right to post on their social media however they'd like.
• 25:14
  SPEAKER_01: If they're going out, if they're doing anything, but that doesn't mean when you clock into work that you bring that up.
• 25:19
  SPEAKER_01: If they want to talk about what they did and bring it up and be like, oh, I went to this event.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: It was so fun.
• 25:24
  SPEAKER_01: Here's pictures of me.
• 25:25
  SPEAKER_01: But like another person shouldn't be like, oh, I saw you out last night, are you hungover?
• 25:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like that's just so inappropriate.
• 25:34
  SPEAKER_00: Give nicknames to people in the office.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_01: Now I'm a nickname giver.
• 25:39
  SPEAKER_01: Like I like, if I can't think of people's nicknames, you know this about me.
• 25:44
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm talking about someone, I'll like things that stick out to me about that person, I'll be like, you know, the guy with the big beard or something.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: Like, I don't know.
• 25:53
  SPEAKER_00: Like Big Beard Bill.
• 25:54
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 25:55
  SPEAKER_00: You might give a nickname.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_01: I give him a nickname.
• 25:56
  SPEAKER_01: Garrett knows this about me.
• 25:58
  SPEAKER_01: And I think if it's a nickname that the person feels comfortable with, it might stick.
• 26:05
  SPEAKER_01: And like, I think that's okay.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: But if it's like a nasty nickname that you're like saying behind the scenes, like maybe Yeah, if it's if it's something that the individual doesn't know about, yeah, fine to not do that.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 26:17
  SPEAKER_00: If it is something that they know about and they accepted it, yeah.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_00: It's completely okay.
• 26:22
  SPEAKER_00: Our one friend, he was our roommate when we lived in Key Largo.
• 26:26
  SPEAKER_00: We were married for three and a half years with a roommate because we lived in Key Largo.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: That is true.
• 26:31
  SPEAKER_00: He was a perfect roommate, but his name was Kyle to us.
• 26:34
  SPEAKER_00: But then he was also Sharon from engineering, which he laughed at.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: He liked it.
• 26:40
  SPEAKER_00: We didn't nickname him I don't know if he liked it, but we didn't like another coworker calling him Meat Lover Kyle because he would bring pizzas to our team for like an event night.
• 26:52
  SPEAKER_00: And then our one coworker would yell, it's meat lover, and did not go over.
• 26:57
  SPEAKER_00: Get super tipsy at the holiday party and word vomit your life story to your CEO or boss.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go with an absolutely not.
• 27:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, of course you would.
• 27:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but you were you questioning that?
• 27:11
  SPEAKER_01: No, I mean, like, I have no problem with getting a little tipsy at the holiday party.
• 27:15
  SPEAKER_01: Part two, no.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:17
  SPEAKER_01: The second part, I'm like, you shouldn't be like, okay, when you're at a social work event, everybody's there to enjoy themselves.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: And you don't want to be like going up to someone important and do something or say something stupid that you totally regret just because you're a little tipsy and like you can't reel it back in.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_00: You gotta have some like friend support when you're going out in a working social event.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:42
  SPEAKER_00: Just to kind of keep yourselves at a like great level.
• 27:47
  SPEAKER_01: And you also need to know, like, hey, I don't need another drink.
• 27:49
  SPEAKER_01: It is a professional work event and not a personal vacation.
• 27:54
  SPEAKER_00: Even if you get two free drink tickets.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 27:57
  SPEAKER_01: Two free drink tickets isn't gonna do that to me, but it would make me more talkative, I would say.
• 28:02
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, definitely.
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_00: It gets you a little bit more spruced up.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: But when you start taking tickets from other people that are being smarter than you, that's when you reel it back in.
• 28:11
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: Keep your microphone unmuted while you are eating snacks.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: Terrible.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 28:21
  SPEAKER_00: Have you seen like the crazy Zoom stories?
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_01: If you're working remotely and people are like doing some raunchy stuff beyond eating snacks, or like not knowing like they think their camera's off and they're like doing the meeting in the nude.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's like what is wrong with people?
• 28:39
  SPEAKER_01: Also, I hate hearing people chew.
• 28:42
  SPEAKER_01: It's like a pet peeve of mine.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: So like turn it off.
• 28:46
  SPEAKER_00: Drink the last drop of coffee from the pot or water from the Brita without refilling.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
• 28:55
  SPEAKER_01: Gotta refill.
• 28:56
  SPEAKER_00: Gotta refill it.
• 28:57
  SPEAKER_01: It's like common workplace courtesy.
• 28:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 29:00
  SPEAKER_00: Be appreciative of your coworkers.
• 29:02
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_00: And help a brother out.
• 29:04

• 29:58
  SPEAKER_00: Oscar to Grouch.
• 30:00
  SPEAKER_00: I'm ready.
• 30:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'll share some.
• 30:02
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna go back to wedding traditions, wedding things rather than all office stuff.
• 30:08
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna share some wedding traditions and you will share your take if this is something that you think is worth keeping or tossing.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: Toss it.
• 30:18
  SPEAKER_00: Toss it in the trash.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_01: Before we dive in, can I give a disclaimer that what I'm gonna share, my personal reactions to these are based on like my preferences, but always the couple should choose what's important for the two of them.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_01: So I may say something and you could totally disagree, but don't take it to heart.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 30:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's your decision, whether you want to do it or not.
• 30:38
  SPEAKER_00: All right, tradition or trash, cake cutting.
• 30:42
  SPEAKER_01: I I actually like this tradition.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: Like I like the moment of people cutting the cake.
• 30:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's kind of sweet.
• 30:49
  SPEAKER_01: And nowadays I feel like there's some couples that are like, oh, I don't want the cake anymore.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's a waste of money, which if you're trying to save in the budget, I can see that being something that's scrapped.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_01: But there's lots of ways that you could do it smaller.
• 31:02
  SPEAKER_01: You know, people do the small tier cake, people do a quiet cake cutting where it's not announced.
• 31:07
  SPEAKER_01: I think people more fear that they want the cake to be smashed in each other's face, which to me, the cake smash, I'd say get rid of.
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: Get rid of, unless both couples are into it, like we smash cake in each other's face.
• 31:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, but if I went back on it, we didn't really communicate whether we wanted to smash cake on each other's face.
• 31:25
  SPEAKER_01: It kind of just happened in the We're kind of like both outgoing people.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_01: Like I feel like we would do that.
• 31:30
  SPEAKER_00: Well, the DJ asked the crowd, do you think they're gonna smash the cake or not?
• 31:34
  SPEAKER_00: And then you kind of like you hear the cheers.
• 31:37
  SPEAKER_00: So the crowd wanted it.
• 31:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the crowd wanted it, wanted it.
• 31:40
  SPEAKER_00: I had to do it.
• 31:41
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
• 31:42
  SPEAKER_00: Tradition or trash, welcome bags at the hotel for your out of town guests.
• 31:48
  SPEAKER_01: This one's so hard, but I usually lean towards trash and not do them.
• 31:54
  SPEAKER_01: Like I think a welcome bag is nice when it's curated nicely.
• 31:57
  SPEAKER_00: Exactly.
• 31:58
  SPEAKER_00: I most of the stuff will then be thrown in the trash if it's just thrown together.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 32:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like I always say, if you're going to get stuff that you could buy at the gas station, you're just tossing it in a bag and it doesn't really reflect the couple or it's not helpful for the weekend or helpful for the people.
• 32:15
  SPEAKER_01: Why are you wasting your time and money building the bags?
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_01: Plus, the hotel charges you to pass out the bags.
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_00: But I don't mind whenever they have like mints so I can have some little like cash.
• 32:30
  SPEAKER_01: We always appreciate the welcome bag, even if it doesn't have like a lot of like reflective stuff.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_01: However, like Garrett said, if it's not something useful or something that we'll use that weekend, then it does end up in the trash because like I'm not packing a bunch of granola bars in my bag.
• 32:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it stays at the hotel.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 32:48
  SPEAKER_00: I do like whenever it happens a lot for like Pick Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh weddings.
• 32:53
  SPEAKER_00: There's my Pittsburgh geese coming out.
• 32:56
  SPEAKER_00: Is Saras chocolates.
• 32:58
  SPEAKER_00: I love like uh chocolate cover pretzel.
• 33:01
  SPEAKER_00: Local vibe it, if it's an out-of-town wedding guest coming in.
• 33:05
  SPEAKER_01: Like Pittsburgh Popcorn in the background.
• 33:07
  SPEAKER_00: Pittsburgh popcorn is great.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_00: No free ads.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_00: Be cognizant of what you're putting in it.
• 33:13
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you don't want it to be wasteful.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_00: Using the phrase, who gives this bride away?
• 33:20
  SPEAKER_01: To me, I'm putting that in the trash.
• 33:23
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like nowadays a lot of people scrap that phrase and they use something else like who supports this marriage.
• 33:32
  SPEAKER_01: That original phrase, some people still keep it, but it shows the bride as a piece of property.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_01: And I feel like we've made like giant leaps towards a woman making their own choice and choosing to marry whoever whomever their partner is.
• 33:47
  SPEAKER_01: So I'd say trash on that.
• 33:49
  SPEAKER_01: And use if you want a phrase, use a different phrase.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_01: There's lots of options out there.
• 33:53
  SPEAKER_00: Agree.
• 33:54
  SPEAKER_00: Wedding party entrances with couples coming out in pairs.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_01: I know we're gonna disagree on this.
• 34:01
  SPEAKER_01: So for the wedding party intro introductions, I still love those.
• 34:04
  SPEAKER_01: Like I do love them.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_01: I hate it as a professional when they come out in pairs because the time it takes to organize them and if they each pick an individual song, like in a timeline, it's wasteful.
• 34:19
  SPEAKER_01: That's all I'll say.
• 34:20
  SPEAKER_01: I don't think it's a bad thing.
• 34:22
  SPEAKER_01: I just think it's wasteful.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_01: Now, you have a different take, right?
• 34:26
  SPEAKER_00: I think that it's fine if it's in pairs, especially if you know your partner.
• 34:31
  SPEAKER_00: If you don't really know the partner, sometimes you get like the short end of the stick and you're like bottom of the barrel in the groomsman and bridesmaid party, and you're like, oh, I'm so-and-so from high school and I'm so-and-so from college, or I'm Yeah, you like don't really know each other.
• 34:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm the stepsister.
• 34:46
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 34:47
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you don't really know them well.
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_00: But if you have someone that like you're friends with, and then you can get creative and not trip going down and doing stinky leg twerking on it, but have a good song if the bride and groom want you guys to collaborate on that.
• 35:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like you want to outperform the other pairs.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 35:06
  SPEAKER_01: Now I'm more I'm more pro introduce the wedding party as a group because I see so many people that are like nervous.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: Like me and you aren't nervous to go out there and do something silly with whomever, if we're partners or if we have somebody else.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_01: But like there's a lot of people that do not feel comfortable going out and doing like some, you know, you do a little bit, a dance or something.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like they don't want to do that.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_01: So the party entrance saves time and it makes people feel a little more comfortable.
• 35:32
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they can hide in a group.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_00: I do it as a competitive standpoint.
• 35:35
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 35:36
  SPEAKER_00: Other people do it as I need to get to my seat as soon as possible.
• 35:40
  SPEAKER_01: Correct.
• 35:41
  SPEAKER_00: Public personal vows at your ceremony.
• 35:44
  SPEAKER_01: So this would be like if you writ wrote your own vows and then you're reading them.
• 35:47
  SPEAKER_01: You're not just repeating vows.
• 35:49
  SPEAKER_01: I say keep.
• 35:50
  SPEAKER_01: I love, I'm like a sucker for personal vows.
• 35:55
  SPEAKER_01: And then like reading them aloud.
• 35:56
  SPEAKER_01: Now I do know it's hard for a lot of people to get it out emotionally, or some people like aren't public speakers.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_01: So they'll save the vows and they do them, you know, over coffee in the morning, or they do a first look and they share their vows with each other, which I also think is very special.
• 36:10
  SPEAKER_01: But I do always enjoy when the couple reads their vows at the ceremony and they're personal.
• 36:16
  SPEAKER_01: You get a little insight to their like love story, I think.
• 36:19
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I cried.
• 36:21
  SPEAKER_01: I also cried at ours.
• 36:22
  SPEAKER_00: Cheered up a little bit.
• 36:25
  SPEAKER_00: Big sparkler send-off.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_01: Trash.
• 36:29
  SPEAKER_01: I hate the sparkler send-off.
• 36:30
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, we did it at our wedding 10 years ago.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_00: And we missed the exit.
• 36:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I don't know.
• 36:35
  SPEAKER_00: Or other people missed the exit.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they were all at the wrong spot.
• 36:39
  SPEAKER_01: For me, sparkler exits are like the bane of my existence.
• 36:42
  SPEAKER_01: Like, if a couple chooses them, I'm like, cool, like as a professional, I'll get it all done.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_01: Or if I'm a guest, I'm gonna participate.
• 36:49
  SPEAKER_01: But drunk people and fire, it's just like a terrible mix.
• 36:55
  SPEAKER_01: It it does photograph well, but I do not think it's worth it.
• 36:59
  SPEAKER_01: Choose something else.
• 37:00
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I think it worked out well for one of our friends.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_00: They did the sparkler exit midway through, yeah, just for the photo op like a stage.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_00: Before the dancing really got going, and then everyone can just leave whenever.
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 37:17
  SPEAKER_00: So it made it, it was a filled crowd.
• 37:19
  SPEAKER_00: People weren't leaving early, right after dinner.
• 37:22
  SPEAKER_00: I thought that worked out, but to each their own.
• 37:25
  SPEAKER_00: To each their own.
• 37:26
  SPEAKER_01: Plus ones for everyone.
• 37:28
  SPEAKER_01: Trash.
• 37:29
  SPEAKER_01: I think a lot of people would love to give plus ones, but like in today's economy, it's expensive.
• 37:35
  SPEAKER_01: Like having a wedding is expensive, and it's kind of like if you have to make budget cuts, it's very easy to just be like, you know what?
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_01: I never met that partner.
• 37:45
  SPEAKER_01: They just started dating someone a week ago.
• 37:48
  SPEAKER_01: You can justify certain people having plus ones, and you can also justify people not getting a plus one.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 37:55
  SPEAKER_01: Married, engaged, dating for longer than six months.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_01: I'm usually like, okay, plus one material.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_01: Never met them, just started dating, or the person jumps around and dates a bunch of people.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you're talking S H I T about that, your partner in front of the bride and groom.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 38:11
  SPEAKER_00: And now they don't want to really include them.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_00: Don't bring them.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 38:16
  SPEAKER_00: Bouquet or garter toss?
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_01: Trash.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_01: I interesting.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_01: Hate the garter.
• 38:21
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's very uncomfortable for a lot of people.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_01: And it's just weird.
• 38:26
  SPEAKER_01: I think if you like the garter, you could have a private garter moment with your partner.
• 38:30
  SPEAKER_01: Bouquet toss, I feel like it used to be more popular.
• 38:34
  SPEAKER_01: I rarely see it anymore.
• 38:35
  SPEAKER_01: I haven't seen a garter in at least two years.
• 38:39
  SPEAKER_01: And bouquet, I think a lot of people feel uncomfortable making all their single friends get up.
• 38:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like I always think it's fun to watch.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_01: Like, but we didn't attend a lot of weddings as single people.
• 38:50
  SPEAKER_01: So I didn't like participate really.
• 38:52
  SPEAKER_01: But I know a lot of people now are like, oh, that's cringy.
• 38:55
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to do it.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_01: And they'll either pass bouquets out to everyone, like our couple did last weekend, or they'll dedicate the bouquet to mom, which my couple did in February.
• 39:03
  SPEAKER_01: Like there's other things you could do in place of a bouquet toss where garter, there's not really any replacement.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_00: And typically what ends up happening now that I've seen that if you do have that happen and whomever catches the bouquet, then the next group that comes up, like the guys that come up for the garter toss, it just is like designated that if that person that catches the bouquet is in a relationship with that person, that person's just gonna get it.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_00: And it just it just filled up five minutes of me being on the dance floor dancing.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 39:37
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not about it.
• 39:38
  SPEAKER_01: I'd say trash on those if you're kind of for it.
• 39:41
  SPEAKER_00: Weekday weddings.
• 39:43
  SPEAKER_01: I'd keep tradition.
• 39:45
  SPEAKER_01: I love a Friday wedding.
• 39:47
  SPEAKER_01: I know like you have to maybe take off an extra day of work, but it is so nice.
• 39:51
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like maybe because we're over 30 to have like the whole weekend to recover.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 39:56
  SPEAKER_01: Or if you're traveling into town and the wedding's on a Friday, you have like the next day to either stay in town and like visit and celebrate with people rather having to get up and catch a flight or drive home early the next day.
• 40:07
  SPEAKER_00: Shorter work week.
• 40:08
  SPEAKER_01: Shorter work week.
• 40:09
  SPEAKER_01: I'll take that.
• 40:10
  SPEAKER_00: All right, for our next segment, it is the VIP table.
• 40:15
  SPEAKER_00: This week is uh TV show wedding moments.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 40:20
  SPEAKER_00: So the TV show episode that dealt with a wedding.
• 40:24
  SPEAKER_01: We're gonna fill up the table.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_01: There's eight seats, you pick four, I pick four.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_01: Who's going first?
• 40:30
  SPEAKER_00: Since you've done the first two, if you won't be so kind, I would like to.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, Garrett's first.
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_00: But it was a discrepancy.
• 40:36
  SPEAKER_00: I feel like I can go one A, one B.
• 40:40
  SPEAKER_00: Personally, if anyone gets offended about my list, because I didn't watch some of the shows that came out in the 90s, 2000s that had wedding moments.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 40:50
  SPEAKER_00: I also have.
• 40:52
  SPEAKER_00: This is my list.
• 40:53
  SPEAKER_01: I was gonna say, these are very like personal.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_01: They're like based on shows that we've probably watched.
• 40:57
  SPEAKER_00: If I didn't truly watch it, it's not coming on my list.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
• 41:02
  SPEAKER_00: It just doesn't happen.
• 41:03
  SPEAKER_00: This one was, and I watched this post this series coming out.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 41:08
  SPEAKER_00: And I just binged it like crazy.
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: When I got to it though, it was near the end.
• 41:13
  SPEAKER_00: It is Shits Creek, David and Patrick.
• 41:17
  SPEAKER_00: That is a great wedding.
• 41:18
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely incredible.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_01: Iconic.
• 41:20
  SPEAKER_00: Series is incredible.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_00: That coming at the end of the series, having Mariah.
• 41:28
  SPEAKER_00: Moira Moira.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_01: I can't even say it.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_00: Having Catherine O'Hara.
• 41:33
  SPEAKER_00: Having Catherine, having Catherine O'Hara's character.
• 41:38
  SPEAKER_00: I don't want to even mispronounce it because now it's out of my tip of my tongue.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_00: Her being like the Pope.
• 41:43
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, hilarious.
• 41:44
  SPEAKER_00: Patrick singing to David, simply the best.
• 41:48
  SPEAKER_00: But like a it's hard to have a better version than a Mariah Carey version.
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_00: That was better.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 41:55
  SPEAKER_01: It was good.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_01: That's a really great choice.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_00: And it just closed the series as a whole.
• 42:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 42:01
  SPEAKER_00: A nice wrap-up moment.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_00: Pretty sure that the name of the episode was Happy Ending.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_01: That sounds right.
• 42:07
  SPEAKER_00: Sounds right for two reasons.
• 42:09
  SPEAKER_00: It was a happy ending for the series, but it was also in the episode Patrick got David a massage, and he it came with a happy ending.
• 42:20
  SPEAKER_00: I forgot about that.
• 42:22
  SPEAKER_00: So, but overall, happy ending to a series.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yes.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: You got okay.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: I get to pick two.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 42:28
  SPEAKER_01: My top choice, obviously, I'm going with the office, Pam and Jim's wedding.
• 42:33
  SPEAKER_01: Like you can't go wrong with that.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_01: It's one A, one B.
• 42:35
  SPEAKER_00: Like I said, that was the other one I binged that series, and you got me into both of them.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 42:40
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like the Office will always be like a comfort show for me.
• 42:44
  SPEAKER_01: And there's just so many funny, funny moments from the episode.
• 42:47
  SPEAKER_01: And the fact that they do like a secret elopement on Maid of the Mist, and then the wedding, they're just like whatever.
• 42:52
  SPEAKER_01: Because they knew everybody from the office was gonna just F it up.
• 42:56
  SPEAKER_01: Do whatever.
• 42:57
  SPEAKER_00: Kevin with his shoes.
• 42:59
  SPEAKER_01: It's so bad.
• 43:01
  SPEAKER_01: Hilarious.
• 43:02
  SPEAKER_00: Him having his tie cut.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's so funny.
• 43:06
  SPEAKER_01: And like they are the office's love story.
• 43:08
  SPEAKER_01: Like they're also involved in it, which is hilarious to me.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_01: Um, okay, and my number two pick, which I know you are not gonna have on your list, is Blair and Chuck from Gossip Girl.
• 43:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, not on my list knew that that would be on yours.
• 43:22
  SPEAKER_01: I am I've rewatched Gossip Girl a couple times, but Blair and Chuck, you know, they're always like dating somebody else, sleeping with someone else, and then like at the final end, they they get married.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's like they deserve each other, them too.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_01: Even after sleeping around?
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 43:37
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, like, you gotta watch the show, it's very dramatic.
• 43:40
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sure I'll get around to it.
• 43:42
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
• 43:43
  SPEAKER_00: Like a teen.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_01: They're like they're supposed to be in high school, but they're acting like well.
• 43:48
  SPEAKER_00: My next pick was a true love story similar to Gossip Girl.
• 43:53
  SPEAKER_00: It didn't even start in high school, it didn't start in middle school.
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_00: It started when they were three years old, is what they said.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_00: Okay later on in the series.
• 44:02
  SPEAKER_00: It is Boy Meets World, Corey and Depanga.
• 44:05
  SPEAKER_01: Fabulous choice.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_00: I would watch that show all the time.
• 44:09
  unknown: Yes.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_00: Even pre-Tor Corey and Depanga getting married.
• 44:14
  SPEAKER_00: They got married, I think, before college or during college.
• 44:18
  SPEAKER_01: We grew up with them.
• 44:19
  SPEAKER_01: Like grew up with them.
• 44:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:21
  SPEAKER_00: One thing I will give is the series itself made it like Corey and Depenga were always dating since they were three.
• 44:28
  SPEAKER_00: That's at least what it became once they got married.
• 44:31
  SPEAKER_00: But there was a stretch of time that they did not like each other.
• 44:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they like broke up in a couple episodes.
• 44:36
  SPEAKER_00: Broke up in a couple.
• 44:37
  SPEAKER_00: He liked was with somebody at the ski lodge.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:39
  SPEAKER_00: But I'm saying the storyline itself had nothing to do with Depenga being a girlfriend.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 44:44
  SPEAKER_00: And then all of a sudden, they right as they got into like the end of high school and Depenga proposed.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_00: At their graduation.
• 44:52
  SPEAKER_00: A reverse proposal.
• 44:53
  SPEAKER_00: Reverse proposal for it.
• 44:54
  SPEAKER_00: But that show just is literally my childhood.
• 44:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 44:59
  SPEAKER_00: So next pick is post-childhood for me.
• 45:03
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 45:04
  SPEAKER_00: Came out, I think, right around when we graduated high school.
• 45:08
  SPEAKER_00: And probably my favorite show since then.
• 45:12
  SPEAKER_00: Modern Family.
• 45:15
  SPEAKER_00: Getting married.
• 45:17
  SPEAKER_00: And that was a pinnacle Modern Family episode because it had all the sequences that Modern Family was about.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 45:25
  SPEAKER_00: There are comedic sequences of like conversations happening with those like end-of-line jokes.
• 45:31
  SPEAKER_00: Chaos was ensuing.
• 45:33
  SPEAKER_00: The dad.
• 45:34
  SPEAKER_00: What's the dad's name?
• 45:36
  SPEAKER_00: I forget the dad's name.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 45:38
  SPEAKER_00: I know the dog's name's Stella.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 45:40
  SPEAKER_00: Stella the dog.
• 45:41
  SPEAKER_00: You know the dog's name, but not the main dad.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 45:44
  SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
• 45:45
  SPEAKER_00: Gloria is the wife.
• 45:46
  SPEAKER_00: But then Phil Dumfey's the one that officiated the wedding.
• 45:50
  SPEAKER_00: A lot of people say that I'm like Phil Dumfey.
• 45:53
  SPEAKER_01: He's a good dad.
• 45:54
  SPEAKER_00: Good dad.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_00: Good dad.
• 45:55
  SPEAKER_01: He's a good guy.
• 45:56
  SPEAKER_00: But I was getting called Phil Dunfey when I was in my 20s.
• 45:59
  SPEAKER_00: I'm in my 30s now, and I'm like still getting it.
• 46:02
  SPEAKER_01: That's hilarious.
• 46:03
  SPEAKER_01: That was a really great choice.
• 46:05
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, I'm up.
• 46:06
  SPEAKER_01: My last two, right?

• 46:08
  SPEAKER_01: Number three, I'm going with Friends, Monica and Chandler's wedding.
• 46:12
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you'll probably win because of that one.
• 46:13
  SPEAKER_01: I feel like I'm not a huge Friends fan.
• 46:15
  SPEAKER_01: Like I watched it growing up because it was always like on at our house.
• 46:19
  SPEAKER_01: You know, their love story was in a ton of episodes.
• 46:23
  SPEAKER_01: So like it kind of builds up to them getting married.
• 46:26
  SPEAKER_01: Joey is the officiant.
• 46:27
  SPEAKER_01: She looks stunning.
• 46:29
  SPEAKER_01: Chandler has a little bit of like, oh, should we get married?
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_00: And then they get married.
• 46:32
  SPEAKER_00: So it's like And a lot of the episodes that we've already mentioned had that.
• 46:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, a little bit of drama.
• 46:39
  SPEAKER_00: A friend is or friend or family members marrying them.
• 46:42

• 46:49
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and then last I'm gonna go with Parks and Rec, Ben and Leslie.

  SPEAKER_00: Good series, too.
• 47:08
  SPEAKER_00: All of them are good series.
• 47:09
  SPEAKER_00: This one, I think, is off the beaten rocker of the last seven picks.
• 47:16
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 47:17
  SPEAKER_00: But it is the Red Wedding, Game of Thrones.
• 47:19
  SPEAKER_00: It ends terribly.
• 47:20
  SPEAKER_01: That's a sad ending.
• 47:22
  SPEAKER_00: But episode-wise, that was like you watch that, you're shocked.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 47:28
  SPEAKER_00: You didn't like pursuing what's happening.
• 47:30
  SPEAKER_01: I did not see that coming at all.
• 47:32
  SPEAKER_00: Unless you read the books.
• 47:33
  SPEAKER_00: I did not read the books.
• 47:34
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 47:35
  SPEAKER_00: The my least favorite type of people are people that have read the Game of Thrones books.
• 47:40
  SPEAKER_00: Like, well, you didn't read the books.
• 47:41
  SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.

  SPEAKER_00: We do have the books.
• 47:47
  SPEAKER_00: We have the books.
• 47:48
  SPEAKER_00: I've perused them, but the story hasn't ended yet.
• 47:51
  SPEAKER_00: Why am I going to read a series that hasn't ended?
• 47:53
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 47:54
  SPEAKER_00: So accurate.
• 47:55
  SPEAKER_00: The series ended poorly.
• 47:57
  SPEAKER_00: The book hopefully does.
• 47:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I, whenever the last book comes out, maybe I'll read it.
• 48:01
