  Speaker 1: with our radio.

  Speaker 2: It's a very special episode of the Almost Famous podcast.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: I am sitting next to you, yes, in person, my
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: incredible co host, Thanks man.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: We just took pictures and he thought that maybe we
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: looked too married and not like like our husband wife
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: work wife.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a good balance for us. So here's our issue.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: We get on a red carpet and I just automatically
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: feel like, Okay, the only way to do this is
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: put my arm around you.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: But then we were in that like posture yeah for
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Yeah, And I said, I whispered to
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Nashley's eier as people were taking pictures. I said, I
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: feel like this isn't the best look for us.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: I thought as well, And you thought that why maybe
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: we haven't taken together on the red carpet since we
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: were actually single? Because I think if we were like
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: not dating, of course, but single, we can still do
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the whole waste hold.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I would if we were single and there was a
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: headline been a nationally dating happened.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: That happened the launch of this podcast, remember, but it
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: was way too recent from your breakup with Lauren for
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: you to think it was cool. Don't you remember we

  Speaker 3: awkward to be but anyways, we got our pictures in
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the red carpet.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: We found our right pasture. It was great. We get
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: to see each other in less than ten days two times,
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: which is is fairly uncommon for us.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Makes the podcast great well, and I like it, like
• 1:56

• 1:57
  Speaker 2: We did get to road trip in our Hyundai from

  Speaker 2: LA to Santa Barbara, and you know, obviously you're gonna
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: see on social media there's some posts about us doing
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: that road trip. But we got to catch up a
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: lot too.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was so nice.
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: I came home and I was like, Jared, I know
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: that like, we can get stressed by travel a lot.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: But I really wish you had gone on this trip.
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: Not that he had the choice too because he.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: Had to work and then there's dozen, but I was like,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: it's really sad that you messed out on.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: That one, particularly because like they were your bros.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it would have been great, and I would have
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: loved Jess to be there too, because we stayed in
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: beautiful places.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: So we shared with a beautiful spouse, Yeah we had.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Instead I just slept alone. But we have got to
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: see each other a lot lately. It's been awesome. We
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: are in Austin. We're staying at the Driscoo Hotel. The
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: drist School is owned by Hyatt. It is beautiful, Like the.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: Bar area is old fashion cool, my jam like early
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: nineteen nineties. Feel like it almost feels like a Cheers bar.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: But it also has like antlers on the wall.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the golden ceiling.
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there's a copper ceiling. That's cool. So I told
• 3:04
  Speaker 4: my sister, well, actually it's weird is that.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Leading up to this trip, I heard multiple people say
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: that we were staying in a haunted hotel and then
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: we were texting with Chris and Laurenzimo are going dinner
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: with tonight, and they were like, oh, you're staying there ghosts.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: I'm like, oh man, this is really a thing.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: So I call my sister, who's like a ghost hunter,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: like she she's hunted ghosts before. She's really into it.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: And I go, Lauren, I'm staying somewhere haunted tonight. And
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: she knew I was in Austin, but she didn't nowhere.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: And then I go. She goes, oh, tell me more,
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: and I go this place called the Dress Go and
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: she's like the dress goal, tell you're staying there. She's
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: like that places on the ghost on her shows all
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: the time. I'm so jealous.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's weird. Most people don't stay jealous. So we're
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: sitting in a suite right now that is supposedly haunted.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Well, I know you are the one that did the
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: research at the sweets for the haunted ones.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and one of our head producers is living in
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: this suite.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Tonight husband, so she's not sleeping alone like the two
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: of us, and that's a little bit more scary.
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So let me tell you a ghost story really quick.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Yes, please?
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: And everybody, I mean, I'm feeling like now, at least
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: as I get older, people have different opinions on if
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: ghost surreal or not. I get that, and that's fair.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: My dad has a ghost story. Okay, I've never told
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: you this. So my dad used to open up hotels
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: for a living. He was like a manager of new
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: openings for this hotel brand, and he's at one of
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: the hotels. And my dad, if you've you've ever seen
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: him on television, if you've ever met him in person,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: he is a ridiculous character. He's the sweetest, most authentic
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: person I've ever met. I love him.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: I have his memory that I'll just say briefly, like
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: we were at the it's like it's the rehearsal dinner
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: of your wedding and I went alone because he was
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: at an other wedding the night before than in Mexico
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: that I couldn't go to pregnant, and your dad like
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: was waiting with me as I waited for my uber.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: And he's just like the cutest, sweetest and warmest man
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: that you could feel like you just babble onto.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's like he's he's the best dad. I love
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: him a lot, definition and great dad. And he tells
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: me the story where him and his buddy we were
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: walking up the stairs at this hotel when nobody else
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: was staying in it, yet they were just gary to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: open it, and this white, cold like mist like blanket
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: of like wind came rushing over them and knocked him
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: both to the ground. He tells the story ever since
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: I was a little kid, and he tells it with
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: like no, it happened to me in Indiana. It was
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: actually in Kentucky when it opened up. But my dad,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: like he he's a jokester in a little bit of
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: a way, but he would have told me by now,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: and he like tells it with like true honesty. And
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: then as I've gotten older, more and more people have
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: told me their interactions with ghosts, like seeing like somebody
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: standing in the corner or whatever. So I and these
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: are people I trust the I'm more and more convinced
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: that some thing exists out there. And so here's my
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: interest because this gets fun for me. Okay, listeners, we
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: always love hearing from you. It's always a big deal
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: to hear from you. If you have any stories of interactions,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: ghost stories or people that you know, please write to us.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: It's been an Ashley at iHeartMedia dot com. Sure, sure
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: ghost stories because we're in one of the most haunted places.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: The DRISCO owns this, but I will say it's worse
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: staying here. It's beautiful, it's an amazing place. Yeah, but
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: they do own the idea that it is haunted. They
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: have ghost tours here.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: There was also the ghost drinks of the bar. They're
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: like all they embrace it.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: They embrace it. There's been a lot of stories here,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: but I know there's some good ones out there. And
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: the older I get, the more interested I am in these.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Okay, so you've never encountered like anything ghostly, not that.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: I know of, No, nothing I remember.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: So this is not really a scary ghost story, but
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: really really simply my sister. Now we're younger, I want
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: to say maybe I was like I would say maybe
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: early high school. My sister's probably like in middle school,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and we had both gone to bed, or maybe she
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: was still downstairs in the family room with my dad,
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: and I was like getting ready for bed, just got
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: in bed whatever. It was like one of those times
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: where you're like able to make your own bedtime, like
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: that age.
• 7:16
  Speaker 4: My dad's in his office.
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: My mom is probably like in the family room and
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden, we hear the foyer fill with
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: an opera singer's voice, like it was like ooh, it
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: was like sounded like we were at like Italian opera
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: for ten seconds.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: Long, and I go out, We like run out to
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: the foyer and we're like, did you hear that? And
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: like only she.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: And I heard that, And my parents are like, we
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: have no idea what you're saying. But it filled the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: entire center of the house and we were all like
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: sort of off the center of the house.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: They didn't hear it.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: And our theory is that there were some opera singing
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: ghosts that passed through the house and it was at
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: a frequency that only young people can hear, because you
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: know that once you hit a certain age it is
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: around eighteen, you can't hear a certain frequency anymore. No, Yeah,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: girls are supposed to live in that weird frequency, which
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: is why, like kids often pick up on ghosts.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: More like I have this one really good friend.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: And her mom passed away when we were in grad school,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: and her niece would say things after she passed away, like, oh, no,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: Grandma's down there, and she's like, what do you mean?
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: She's like your grandma. She hangs out in the closet.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: We talked there, no way. Yeah, So is this when
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: Lauren got her interests at.
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: Ghost Lauren was always petrified of ghosts. She was like
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: the creepy kid.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: That would sit by my parents' bedside, like in the
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: middle of the night and then like my mom would
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: like feel like a presence. Then she'd open her eyes
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: and like scream bloody murder because Laurence's like staring at her.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: Oh.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: She would do that to like me and them, And
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: I think it was her way of when she was
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: like in high school of like kind of tackling her
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: fear of ghosts.
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: Was just become really interested in them.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So interesting. We are in Austin. It's an amazing place here.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: We're here for the at X TV Festival. We're representing
• 9:20

• 9:35

• 9:40

• 9:52
  Speaker 2: h didn't know what was happening, didn't get the invite.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: Not surprised because I've only met her once in my life.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: Andy Dorfmann Mayor He's Blaine heart and dreamy. Yes, this
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: is the headline Dreamy Italian wedding. Her quote is he's
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: my person.
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: It's very sweet. They had seventy five guests in Sorrento, Italy.
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: It was like a three day event sort of.
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: There was like a different little dinners leading up to it,
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: and Andy had four dresses. She said, I would marry
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: him anywhere. I don't need a wedding to Mary Blaine,
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: but I need the wedding for the dresses. And then
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: our notable mentions of guests would be Tasha, Hannah Ann
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: and Amanda Stanton.
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: They were all in attendance, and yeah, so it was
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: quite quite the thing.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: They got married out on like a harbor, like a
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: boat harbor and Sorrento, and then they got on a
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: boat and then they were taken to a different hotel
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: where they had the cocktail hour and dinner.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the quote from Taitia says it all.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: It says, this is what a girl's trip should look
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: like when they're on the boat.
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: A little jealous. I mean, I knew almost gonna get
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: invited in he's wedding.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: I haven't seen her in like seven years, but that
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: looks like a great time.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: And can we just pause for a second and celebrate
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: the fact that Andy Dorfman is married.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: I know, I'm so happy for her, Like I mean
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: that she even said it's like kind of like a
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: long time coming.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it had obviously had to be the right person,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: but this is somebody I don't I don't know how
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: this will come off. I don't put her in the
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: same category as Claire, but like, I feel similar to
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: the situation where I'm like, they've been a part of
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: Bachelor Nation for so long, they've shared so much of
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: their life with us because their relationships on the show
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: didn't work, and then they pursued, you know, relationships after
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: the show, and some of those didn't work, and so
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: we've just kind of got her. We've had been able
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: to root for them for years and grown up kind
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: of like through the franchise. Mean, Andy was two years
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: before me or a year before me.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: There both on Wan Poplo season interesting and on season
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: were there were a couple of women like them. I'd
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: say that Charlene and Andy and Claire were all and
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: even Nikki kind of like all these badass chicks, right,
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: They were like tough and like a little rough, like
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: do not mess with me, but at the same time
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: really feminine and like had an emotional soft side.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah. What an incredible cast.
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: It was a good one.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: I was really honored to like follow that cast because
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: that cast of girls just.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: They killed it. Yeah.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, just a big deal for bascination. Andy
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Dorfman is now married to Blaine Hart. What a deal.
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: Do you know how they met?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I don't so crazy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: They met over ten years ago before the Bachelorette. Ever,
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: I think almost like in the college years. Her friend
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: used to play sports with him. They met at a party,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: didn't see each other again until years later. Until two
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: years ago when they were both vacationing in Italy. He
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: reaches out to her on Instagram and says, do you
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: want to get drinks? And she goes, well, I'm in
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Italy right now, So can't. And then he goes, well,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I'm in Italy now, I see where you are on
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: Instagram and like, I'm here too, Do you want to
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: grab drinks? And I said yes, and so that that
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: plays a movie they got and that plays a role.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Asked to why they got married in Italy, I would.
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: Have if you would have told me that story, I'd
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: been like, yeah, they're getting married, Like no chance that
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: two random people that they've met before in Italy and
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: they get drinks to the first time Italy and they
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: don't get married, right, It's very romantic, very romantic. Okay,
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: speaking of romance Charity, our next bachelorette takes fans behind
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: the scenes of her bachelorette promo.
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Basically, you know how we see she's with that overarching.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Can I pause there? Can I pause there for a second.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I have absolutely loved the memes of her intro compared
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: to Katie's intro. Oh YEA is funny. It's so good. Yeah,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: it's so I.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: Mean, but I feel like a lot about is Katie
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the only one who's comparing her feelings?
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: There's multiple bachelorts. I never got this rose archy.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's beautiful, Like I love watching Charity's promo.
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: It's one of like, it's like a Hannah Hannah.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: The head of Brown one.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, that enchanted Cinderella theme one was so good. Yeah,
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: So basically she just said that when she saw it,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: she was just in awe, can't get over it.

  Speaker 3: a theater here in Austin.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: It's it's pretty incredible, and it was great to spend
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: time with them in Santa Barbara and Los Angeles.
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Becca Kufrin shows off growing baby bump uh in new
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: sonogram pics. Uh. It's the favorite picture she's ever gotten,
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: she says.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Her fair picture she's ever received in her life.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Well of the baby at least, but maybe ever. I
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: got to talk to her when you were out for
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: a few weeks. She co hosted this podcast. I mean,
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I love Becca. She was a great co host with
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: me on A Bachelor Live on stage. But the more
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: I get to talk to Becca, and the more I
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: get to hear about how Thomas not only treats Becca
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: but how he is in life. The more I'm impressed
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: with Thomas, He's jacked, she says. You know, so this
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: is a big deal. You know how it is get
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: your first like sonogram picture of your child and how
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: that feels. Probably, I mean not everybody listening to this
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: has had the chance to have a baby. But what
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: does it feel like to get that first picture that
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: you feel like you could actually see the face and
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: the figures you.
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: Like overanalyze it, feel like is that my nose?
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: Is that the hell? Yeah?
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: You know, and I'm thinking now, actually, it's more emotional
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to think back on the sonogram really than it was
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: at the time, because it's like, that was a little Dawson.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: And when I go and I look.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Backround pictures of even like his actual birthday, you know,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: like the pictures in the hospital, I'm like, oh, my god,
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: that was you.
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: That was you?
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: Is how you feel?
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we didn't know it was you, but you were
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: eating that little head and like little did we know
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: the personality that would develop. It's crazy. It's really cool
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: to look back around pictures now.
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Oh that's so great. Have you kept all of Dawson's
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: sonogram pictures or some of them.
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know where are they?
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: I have like a sentimental box in the basement, and
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: then I have like an album that I kind of
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: just like throw all like loose pictures in, so they're
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: in one or the other. Yeah, my parents have something too,
• 17:47

  Speaker 2: It's so wild. Rights, Yeah, it's so awesome. And I
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: mean we just watched videos of Dawson as we were

• 18:07
  Speaker 2: how his personality has grown and how you have a
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: little human Yeah, it's so weird.

• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Joe answers listener questions all about his and Serena's upcoming wedding.

• 18:55
  Speaker 2: in a year since the airing of last.

  Speaker 4: Season, but two years since they got to.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Exactly that's what I mean. It's been two years, so

  Speaker 2: this has kind of been a little bit in the waiting,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: and you know.
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: They're already married. So this is like the this is
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: the your point.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: That's a good point. So what do we know about this? Ash?
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: We know that The fact.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: That sticks out to me is that there's a lot
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: of bachelor weddings coming up. There's Dean and Kalin's, there
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: is oh my god, why am I blanking? There's Hannah

• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, Hannah sluc is gonna get married.

  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, there's Marie and Kenny.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: Marie Kenny. Yeah, So we talked to a few weeks ago.

  Speaker 2: So the Thomas and Becka.
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: Oh, Thomas and Beckat Okay, so.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Which has got thrown off a little bit based.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: Because the baby. Yeah, no, no, no.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: So the question was, did you guys like have a
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: group meeting on whether or not you were going to
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: like choose different for weekends, and he goes, we didn't.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: But luckily none of the weddings do fall on the
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: same weekend because there would definitely be overlapping guests.
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: And you know that sucks.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got to talk about the Kaylin Dean wedding.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I'm assuming we're both going to be there.
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: So we both are going to that. Yeah, you got,
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: but then you must be going to beck at Thomas's.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: But that's like not in the planning process yet.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: It's on the planning process. I hope, I am. They listened,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: So and then.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: What else was there about Serena and Joe's wedding.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: I know that he is said that he was most
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: excited about the vow exchange, and then he had no
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: idea that wedding day gifts were a thing, did you
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: guys exchange?
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: I don't think that wedding day gifts need to be extravagant.
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: To me, the letter means more, and I know I
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: know that that's feels like more of a modern day
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: thing because like wedding videos and you read the letter
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: out loud and all that. Did you guys exchange letters
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: and did you exchange gifts?
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: That we exchanged letters? Okay, so we didn't not exchange I.
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: Really don't think that the gifts really mean anything. I
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: gave Jared like a pair of like one hundred and
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: fifty dollars like Patriot cufflings, and he got me a
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: little painting of our wedding venue with the.
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: Date on it.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. No, we didn't do any gifts, but we did
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: do letters. I would say out of all that, I mean,
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: my wife is a big gift getter. She also doesn't
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: hate receiving gifts. I am not either.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: You don't like you're not a receiver or a giver.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I don't.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: Jared doesn't really care either way, but he's so easy
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: in fun to shop for that I do.
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: But letters meant a lot to me. Yeah, I still
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: have all of our letters, and that was important. But
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: it's not I don't think it's a thing that you
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: have to get a gift. But if they've talked about it,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: don't stress. Yeah, I mean, I feel like that too.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: The only thing he should be thinking of is like
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: getting married, yeah, and not stressing about Yeah.
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: It's just like a little sign of like, hey, that's
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: I just thought it would be cute for Jared to
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: be able to put inder cufflings on for the wedding dock,
• 22:01
