1
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: From the newsroom and news to come today.

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: Good day there, I'm Andrew Buffalo, and today we are

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: talking about Hen's parties. They used to be a simple

4
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: night out with a few cocktails, maybe a cheeky sash,

5
00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:18,799
Speaker 2: but somewhere along the way they've turned into destination weekends away,

6
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: multiple activities and expenses that rival.

7
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 3: A small wedding.

8
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:26,160
Speaker 2: We're about to hear from one woman who has officially

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 2: had enough, and then we're going to be joined by

10
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:31,320
Speaker 2: a male stripper who revealed what really goes on at

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 2: a Hen's party and what odd requests he's received from

12
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 2: ladies over the years.

13
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 3: Buckle up, this one gets a little bit wild.

14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 4: Well.

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: Joining me now is Danielle Elsa, a writer and commentator

16
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 2: who's penderpiece fornews dot com dot Au, declaring that Hen's

17
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,000
Speaker 2: parties are out of control.

18
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 3: Gooda Daniella, Hey Bucky, all right, why do you feel

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 3: this way?

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 5: Well, look back in the day.

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: You know, a Hen's party used to be just a

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: night out, cocktail drinks, you know, some mac is at

23
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: about two am or something like that. And I think

24
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 1: what's happened in the last sort of five to ten

25
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: years is they've gone from being a night out to

26
00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: being this incredibly elaborate, whole day, if not weekend, long

27
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,240
Speaker 1: affair that involves all these different stops and destinations and outfits,

28
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: and you know, and they're expensive and they're convoluted, and

29
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,319
Speaker 1: I just think they've just gone from being fun to being,

30
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:24,039
Speaker 1: you know.

31
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 5: Like a circus.

32
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:27,639
Speaker 2: You mentioned they're expensive. Do we have any idea roughly

33
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: how much assies are paying on these events?

34
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: Look, the one number that sort of you can find

35
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: is that the average HENS party costs about six hundred

36
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: and fourteen dollars for Australian women.

37
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 5: Now that's from twenty nineteen, so I'm sure it's higher.

38
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 1: And if you figure that, there's you know, nearly one

39
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty thousand weddings in Australia a year, and

40
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: you're probably going to get ten people on average per

41
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: HENS party. That's hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.

42
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: And you know, the crazy thing is is we get

43
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: off pretty lightly here, because there's new research out last

44
00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: month that says in the US, the average bachelorette party

45
00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: costs more than two grand, which is wild.

46
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it really does add up, doesn't hef Obviously women

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,840
Speaker 2: are paying six hundred bucks for a bachelorette party. They

48
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: might be buying a new outfit as well. Then they've

49
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 2: got to go to the wedding a few weeks later,

50
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: they've got to buy a present. They're probably gonna buy

51
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: another outfit as well. You're looking at like fifteen hundred

52
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: two grand. That's a lot of money, Danielle. You're not

53
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 2: the only person who feels this way. Last year, Call

54
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,760
Speaker 2: Her Daddy host Alex Cooper blasted women who have expensive

55
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: overseas bachelorette parties. Warning there is a bit of language here.

56
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 4: If you are the bitch that is asking your fucking

57
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 4: friends to go to Greece for your bachelorette knock it off.

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: Knock it the fuck off. Okay, unless you are pegging

59
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:42,360
Speaker 4: for every fucking thing. You got, the plane, you got,

60
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: the tickets, you got, the arabinb with love to you, Rachelle.

61
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 4: I don't want to go to Greece and have to

62
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: take off time off of work and pay out of

63
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 4: the asshole to go to your fucking bachelorette.

64
00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 3: She's pretty fly it up, Danielle, very much so.

65
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 5: And you know what, I think, She's not alone. I

66
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 5: think a lot of women.

67
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,640
Speaker 1: Feel like they have to go along with these sort

68
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: of really over the top bachelorette parties, and you know,

69
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: it's the sort of thing you're going to say no to.

70
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,679
Speaker 1: You can't really say to somebody who you really love

71
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: and care about, I'm not going to come. But it's

72
00:03:14,200 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: also really tough because for some women, you know, it's

73
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: financially not possible. Also, it's a lot of time, it's

74
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,040
Speaker 1: a lot of energy, it's a lot of efforts.

75
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 5: So you know, I think she's onto something.

76
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 2: Do your friends feel the same way you do? That

77
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 2: these are just getting out of control now?

78
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: So when I was writing this story, I asked some

79
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: friends and sort of, you know, everyone you.

80
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 5: Talk to just goes, oh my god, yes, and sort.

81
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: Of has some war stories about going to really expensive

82
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: bachelorette parties where you know, it doesn't ever really sound

83
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: like anyone has that much fun, and it's sort of

84
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: like this.

85
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 5: Idea whoforced fun as well?

86
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,920
Speaker 1: So I don't think that there's actually that many fans

87
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: of bachelorette parties, at least the way they've sort of evolved.

88
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 2: Now, what about you, personally, what's the most over the

89
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 2: top party that you've been invited to?

90
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 5: Well, it's not over the top.

91
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: But about tea years ago I went to a Hents

92
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: party and it was on a boat full of mail strippers.

93
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 6: And I'm still in therapy about it. There were some

94
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 6: I saw things that I can never unsee. And you're

95
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 6: on a boat, so you can't even duck outside or

96
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 6: you know, just get it over home and sort of

97
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 6: duck out the back door.

98
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 5: So yeah, that was that was pretty traumatic.

99
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 2: Now you touched on this a second ago, I'm sure

100
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 2: there will be some people listening going surely the obvious

101
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: answer is, if you don't want to spend this money,

102
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,640
Speaker 2: just turn down the invite, make up and excuse why

103
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: can't you do that?

104
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 5: Well, you can't.

105
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: Do that because oh I suppose you could do that,

106
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 1: But you can't do that because it's someone you care about,

107
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: you know.

108
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 5: And I think what's really interesting.

109
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: You sometimes you know people you think you know quite

110
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: well and they announce it getting married and they tell

111
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: you about their hands, and you're like, huh, this is

112
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 1: what you want to do.

113
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 5: I wouldn't have picked your the sort of person.

114
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: Who wants to go on a striper boat, and so

115
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: you sort of have to go along with it, you know,

116
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 1: I think you'd be a real wauser if you said

117
00:04:57,560 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 1: I'm not going to go.

118
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 5: So you're stuck like there's no good solution.

119
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,600
Speaker 3: Well, you have mentioned strippers a few times.

120
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: I think it's only fair that we get a stripper

121
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 2: in this episode.

122
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 3: Stick around.

123
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,680
Speaker 2: I will chat to one who works at bachelorette parties

124
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 2: in just a moment.

125
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:20,880
Speaker 3: Welcome back.

126
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,400
Speaker 2: I'm joined now by Aaron, who's been a stripper, a

127
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 2: life drawing model, and a topless waiter for the past

128
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 2: ten years, working for a business called Lucky Lads.

129
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: Thanks for taking the call.

130
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 7: Aarin, thank you for having me on the podcast.

131
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 3: It's a delight to have you on the podcast.

132
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: In terms of bachelorette parties, what is the most popular

133
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 2: option nowadays? Do most just want a topless waiter or

134
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 2: do they want a stripper or you know, a naked model.

135
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 7: It used to be strippers. Nowadays it's topless waiters. But

136
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:50,239
Speaker 7: definitely the flavor of the month is the live drawing models.

137
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: Talk to me about the life drawing. So for someone

138
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: who's never done it before, how does it work when

139
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 2: you rock up to the party.

140
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 3: What happens?

141
00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,559
Speaker 7: Yes, So, what we normally do is there's two ways.

142
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 7: You can even just have the guy. They can have

143
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 7: a teacher as well. We like to trick the girls

144
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 7: all of the time. The bridesmaid has just kind of

145
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 7: organized and he doesn't know if some of the girls

146
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 7: don't know what's going on. So what she does is

147
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 7: the teacher goes in. She'll set some music up, in

148
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 7: a very slow, quiet music and say we're going to

149
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 7: do a bit of a yoga meditation session. Get everyone

150
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 7: close their eyes. I will think in kind of get

151
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,919
Speaker 7: into my little apron. And at this point where they

152
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,360
Speaker 7: got their eyes closed, she's running through the meditation. I

153
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:35,159
Speaker 7: position myself in front of the hen and then when

154
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 7: they open their eyes, as a big surprise, half naked

155
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 7: guy's handy mess. So it's it's all very fun, I.

156
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,320
Speaker 3: Can imagine, all right.

157
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 2: So then they spend an hour or so sketching you

158
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 2: at any stage are you completely starkers or are you

159
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 2: always got an apron on?

160
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 7: Pretty much after that initial shock, what I then will

161
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 7: do is I'll get her to help me get into

162
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,240
Speaker 7: my proper uniform, as you would say.

163
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: And when you say proper uniform, you mean naked.

164
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 2: Yes, Well, this raises an interesting question.

165
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 3: Pard in the pond.

166
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 2: If you are naked in front of a room full

167
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 2: of women, do you ever get a little bit too excited?

168
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:13,200
Speaker 2: Has that ever happened to you?

169
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 7: Look with the with the Hen's parties, there's not really

170
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 7: a kind of rule. Some companies will ask you to

171
00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 7: go in erect, some will just saying yep, yet just

172
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,400
Speaker 7: more antsy, you know soft. What they normally do is

173
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 7: they ask the client beforehand. A lot of the girls

174
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:36,680
Speaker 7: will say the ape for a soft guy. Um. But

175
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,200
Speaker 7: with that said, yeah, there's there is sometimes where things,

176
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 7: you know, can get a bit touchy. I've been too

177
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 7: parties where there's a lot of people and they're very

178
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 7: close to you, and they might be doing someff and

179
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 7: you just try to keep it professional, keep things down.

180
00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 2: Do you have a trick for keeping things down? Are

181
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 2: you thinking of I don't know, puppies or something like that.

182
00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 7: I wouldn't say puppies, but I might just be thinking

183
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 7: of a TV show and maybe watched the day before

184
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 7: something I needed to do the next day. Yeah, I

185
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 7: got to clean the garden to do whatever.

186
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:09,920
Speaker 2: You know.

187
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 3: Well, I wanted to ask you about what you just

188
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:13,880
Speaker 3: hinted that there.

189
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 2: Do women ever get a little bit grabby and hit

190
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: on you looks.

191
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 7: It is generally the older ones, not stereotyped. Yeah, the

192
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 7: older house mums that may have not been out for

193
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 7: a little while to once they have a few drinks,

194
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 7: they do get a little bit grabby, but they're generally

195
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 7: pretty good, you know, they won't go too low. I

196
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 7: have had parties before I've had to tell them, look,

197
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 7: you need to kind of stop with. When I was

198
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 7: operating in Sydney, we do a lot of boat parties

199
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 7: and then can get very dangerous if you're walking around

200
00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 7: with trays and glass and that and they're kind of

201
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 7: coming up. They see that you got your hands full,

202
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:50,720
Speaker 7: so they try to get their hands full.

203
00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 3: Opportunists.

204
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm sure you had some pretty fascinating requests over the years.

205
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 3: What's the most memorable one you've had for a actuallyurette party.

206
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 7: The most memorable one is one that was kind of

207
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 7: frust upon me last minute, which is I was in

208
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 7: Sydney and the girls had been out to a dinner

209
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 7: and then had gone out clubbing, and they told me, all, look,

210
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 7: we're going to we've gone to a dinner, We're going

211
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,600
Speaker 7: to have to wait, we're going to head out. Then

212
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:19,920
Speaker 7: come back at the end of the night to the hotel,

213
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:21,559
Speaker 7: and she thinks that we're going to calm down and

214
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 7: then we're going to have the stripper show up. So okay, great,

215
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 7: But when I had live, they said, look, we got

216
00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 7: a bit too excited. While we're out. We kept on

217
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 7: telling everyone we've got a stripper coming, and they'd started

218
00:09:33,280 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 7: picking up guys and guys, I can do the stripping

219
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 7: as well. So when I got there, she said, we

220
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 7: actually got about ten guys and was planned to do

221
00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 7: a bit of a runway. They're going to each one's

222
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 7: going to come out and do their stripper. We want

223
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,120
Speaker 7: you to judge upon them, and then at the end

224
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 7: of your strip, and then we're going to judge upon

225
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 7: your strip and everyone else's and yeah, like it ended

226
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,239
Speaker 7: up being a lot of fun. It was very lighthearted

227
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 7: and just you know, had a good giggle. But I'm

228
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 7: pretty much the strangest one I've ever got.

229
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's your random.

230
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 2: Those poor guys that had to strip up against you

231
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 2: a professional too, don't envy them.

232
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 7: So did pretty good. I had some cards out.

233
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:09,079
Speaker 3: A bit at night.

234
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: Well, you've been in the industry for ten years now.

235
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,760
Speaker 2: In terms of the money that women are putting into

236
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 2: bachelorette parties these days.

237
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 3: Have you noticed a change, like, you know, I guess

238
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:19,719
Speaker 3: in the past.

239
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 2: We tend to think about the nineties, perhaps people were

240
00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 2: just having a little shin dig in their backyard with

241
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: some party pis and a few drinks. Now you know,

242
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 2: they're stretch hummers involved all that kind of stuff. Does

243
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:31,520
Speaker 2: it feel like more money is being put into these events?

244
00:10:32,400 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 4: Oh?

245
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 5: Definitely.

246
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:36,760
Speaker 7: I think back to social media, like they want to

247
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 7: have this big party because they're going to want to

248
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,199
Speaker 7: be able to post it online and they're going to

249
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 7: want to show everyone and tell everyone about it. So

250
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 7: they do these type of stuff to make it a

251
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:50,079
Speaker 7: bit more elaborate. So yeah, definitely. It did. Used to

252
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 7: be a lot of just house parties. They might have

253
00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 7: some basic food, they might have just you know, some

254
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 7: cruises and things like that. Where now they want these

255
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,199
Speaker 7: cocktail bar and they Yeah, definitely the limo and all

256
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 7: that type of stuff it so it does get very pricey.

257
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 2: Well, before I let you go, Aaron, I gotta let
