Speaker 1: Help We Suck At Being Newlyweds?
Speaker 2: With Dean Aungler, Kaylen Lurkey and Jared Haven an iHeartRadio podcast.
Speaker 3: What is going on? Everyone? Welcome to an all new
Speaker 3: episode of Help We Suck At Being at Newlyweds? And boy,
Speaker 3: oh boy, do we suck more than ever this week?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I just wanted to say that we've
Speaker 3: got a great episode. We're doing a doubleheader this week,
Speaker 3: just like the good old days. We have some great guests.
Speaker 3: Fran and Ria from Chicks in the Office are going
Speaker 3: to be joining us later this week on Thursday. You're
Speaker 3: not gonna want to miss that. But in the meantime,
Speaker 3: we want to catch up with I guess everyone that's
Speaker 3: involved in this podcast. So Kaylin is currently in France,
Speaker 3: Jared's currently in Rhode Island. You guessed it, Yes, nice,
Speaker 3: And I'm currently in Las Vegas. Look at us, Look
Speaker 3: at us? Who would have thought? Who would have thought?
Speaker 3: So what's going on you guys? Jared? Great to see you.
Speaker 3: It's always a pleasure to see you because we don't
Speaker 3: get to talk much to the week, but every time
Speaker 3: I get to talk to you on this podcast, it's
Speaker 3: a real tree even when you wear those silly sunglasses.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I felt like wearing sunglasses just because Dean's got
Speaker 1: his halo. I feel like I'm just missing out. You're cool, Jared.
Speaker 3: When you wear the sunglasses, I feel cool.
Speaker 1: I've always thought I looked good with sunglasses on. Also,
Speaker 1: it just hides my face, actually says no.
Speaker 3: I agree that I look cooler in sunglasses too. But
Speaker 3: Calen always makes fun of me because I always choose
Speaker 3: the exact same style of sunglasses, no matter where, when it.
Speaker 2: Is same exact ones, no matter what. He has, like
Speaker 2: seven at the same pair.
Speaker 1: It's those little round runs, right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a round guy. I'm the hipster guy.
Speaker 2: And I asked him to venture out in Japan when
Speaker 2: we were shopping for another pair because he lost his
Speaker 2: other pair, and he tried on other ones, and I
Speaker 2: was like, you're right, you found the one that fits
Speaker 2: your face shape.
Speaker 3: Of course, that's why I wear them, because they're the
Speaker 3: only sunglasses that don't make me look ridiculous. Like Jared's
Speaker 3: got a great shape of his face and so he
Speaker 3: can pull off many different styles. I'm sure, I mean
Speaker 3: not true. I have a very specific sunglass shape style.
Speaker 3: So but I will admit, Jared, you look cool. Hopefully
Speaker 3: you're in your comfy place. You're like the You're like
Speaker 3: Frankenstein from from that movie with Adam Sandler. What's the
Speaker 3: name of the movie with Adam.
Speaker 2: Sandler and the Little Kid animated?
Speaker 3: No, no, with the Little Kid. No is a dad,
Speaker 3: big daddy, big daddy.
Speaker 1: Oh Frankenstein.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he puts the sunglasses on and he feels safe
Speaker 3: and comfortable and no one can see him. So that's
Speaker 3: how you are right now. I feel like you're in
Speaker 3: your happy place. You're comfortable. You know, maybe try maybe
Speaker 3: we can get some spicy hot gossip out of you
Speaker 3: this this episode because of it.
Speaker 1: I know, uh, spicy. You know what you want to
Speaker 1: You want to have some spice?
Speaker 3: Yeah, spice me up.
Speaker 1: Ashley and I had sex last night.
Speaker 3: Yeah? Nice, I like as she's a reaction. She has
Speaker 3: no idea why you just said that.
Speaker 1: I was looking for some spice? You know? Why not
Speaker 1: change things up? Hey?
Speaker 3: Is that was that because you guys are trying to
Speaker 3: have a baby or you guys are just seeing it
Speaker 3: for the fun.
Speaker 1: No, we're doing it for fun. Man, Come on, that's cool.
Speaker 3: How did it?
Speaker 1: Every time has to be like to pro create?
Speaker 3: How did it initiate? Who started it?
Speaker 1: Ashley was the one who started it.
Speaker 3: Nice and like describe and detail how she starts it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she initiated it because it's planned, right, it's you know.
Speaker 1: So at like seven o'clock she's like, so you should
Speaker 1: we have sex tonight?
Speaker 3: Do we really want to talk about this?
Speaker 1: Not fully?
Speaker 2: No, because I said that that would be a great
Speaker 2: conversation topic for the podcast.
Speaker 1: Well, so here's here's the conversation topic for all these
Speaker 1: married couples out there. Caylin Dean, I'm sure you're not there,
Speaker 1: but you guys are headed there, so brace for it.
Speaker 3: Uh.
Speaker 1: You know there's times where you just like, don't have intimacy?
Speaker 1: What no, get away, Get out of the room. Get
Speaker 1: out of the room.
Speaker 2: The conversation was supposed to be about initiation.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, like what I was saying, sometimes it's hard to initiate.
Speaker 1: And because it's my point being now I've lost my
Speaker 1: train of thought. My point being is that sometimes you
Speaker 1: just go like weeks and you're like, oh my god,
Speaker 1: we haven't had sex, and it's because life gets in
Speaker 1: the way. I we're tired, at nights. We don't have
Speaker 1: the same libido that we once had. And we've talked
Speaker 1: about having planned sex on the podcast before. Not the
Speaker 1: sexiest of things, but needed, needed, And so with Ashley
Speaker 1: and I, it's just like, oh my god, we have to,
Speaker 1: like we have to have sex because it's like we
Speaker 1: just have to do it because yeah, most of the times,
Speaker 1: Dawson goes to bed at nine thirty and we're just exhausted.
Speaker 3: I mean, that's how it is for me. I feel
Speaker 3: like I don't have a sex drive anymore either. Not
Speaker 3: that you're saying you don't have a sex drive, but
Speaker 3: it's hard to find time. And then, like you said,
Speaker 3: the day gets away from me. Life gets in the way.
Speaker 3: I can't do that. I can't do the sexy time
Speaker 3: when I know that I smell and like just really dirty. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because we have to shower. Actually likes to get all ready.
Speaker 3: That's like and that's ninety eight percent of the time
Speaker 3: for me. I stink and I'm dirty and I feel
Speaker 3: like gross, and then I'm like, oh, but I don't
Speaker 3: want to shower before bed. I'll do it in the morning.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a solution for that, But you don't like
Speaker 2: to shower. That's totally no.
Speaker 3: No, no, I don't mind showering. I shower today, thank you
Speaker 3: very much. I cannot shower at night. If I can't
Speaker 3: shower after eleven AM, then it's just off the table
Speaker 3: for me. I can't shower really.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean eleven is early. I can understand if
Speaker 1: it's like nine o'clock at night and you're like, I
Speaker 1: just got I'm so tired. I can't. I can't put
Speaker 1: myself in a body of water right now.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, especially before bed. But you're right, maybe it's
Speaker 3: a little bit later than eleven, But I just hate
Speaker 3: the nighttime shower. Some people swear by them. I can't
Speaker 3: do it. And you know, to the point of the
Speaker 3: conversation that we're having, that's like prime sex time. And
Speaker 3: at that point I'm like, like I said, I know
Speaker 3: I smell bad. I know I'm dirty. The last thing
Speaker 3: I want is for Kaitlyn to be touching me, because
Speaker 3: then she's going to realize how bad smelly I am.
Speaker 2: Right now, I already realized i'll smell you are.
Speaker 1: But who initiates more to YouTube me?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Yeah, but I initiate sometimes, Yeah, it's me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: but yeah, but we started to carve it out some time.
Speaker 3: There was a time not to get too personal here
Speaker 3: where we were like, okay, then I talked and we're like,
Speaker 3: we're not being intimate enough, and so we made we
Speaker 3: kind of did what you're doing where we like scheduled
Speaker 3: it and planned it. We're like every morning, we're gonna
Speaker 3: do it every morning. Yeah, it lasted a good couple weeks.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, uh, I mean, if we really want to
Speaker 2: get into it, after Dean broke, is like, it was
Speaker 2: very hard to be intimate. Yeah, like it. I mean
Speaker 2: it wasn't really physically possible because he just located his
Speaker 2: hip as well, so it became more difficult. And then
Speaker 2: we got better.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got better, we got worse, We got better,
Speaker 3: we got worse. It's an ebb and flow, but it
Speaker 3: really just falls back onto me too. You know, like
Speaker 3: I always talk about how a shamed I am of
Speaker 3: my body right now, and just like being naked is
Speaker 3: not really my favorite thing, and having to think about
Speaker 3: Kaylin seeing me this way is really depressing for me,
Speaker 3: and that just falls back on me. I just got
Speaker 3: to get in shape.
Speaker 2: But you look good.
Speaker 1: He does look good. He's crazy. But that's why for
Speaker 1: me personally, morning sex is just completely off the table.
Speaker 1: I want it to be as dark as humanly possible,
Speaker 1: so you don't see what I look like right now,
Speaker 1: you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but at least in the morning, like you're thinner,
Speaker 3: you're less bloated. You know, you've kind of lost some
Speaker 3: water weight overnight, so you do, and you haven't eaten
Speaker 3: anything that day, so you do look better in the
Speaker 3: morning than you do at night. So there's at least
Speaker 3: that going for you. But I do agree with you
Speaker 3: with the lights thing. How's the breath though?
Speaker 1: You guys, they say, I don't know who says this,
Speaker 1: but somebody said that you found your soulmate if you
Speaker 1: can make out with them in the morning and their
Speaker 1: breath doesn't stay.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: How does my breast smell in the morning? Kaylen?
Speaker 2: I don't like anyone's breast smell is good in the morning.
Speaker 2: But but but we're episode made out in the morning
Speaker 2: and it's it's fine. I'm not like you.
Speaker 3: Well, your breast things in the morning too, so I
Speaker 3: did for you. How does that feel?
Speaker 2: Okay? I'm just I can't take you guys seriously because
Speaker 2: you have the halo Jared has the glasses. It looks
Speaker 2: like the angel and the devil like on my shoulders
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm gladly be the angel. Can you give
Speaker 3: yourself a filter so you can so you can fit
Speaker 3: in with us?
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to do that.
Speaker 3: Oh, you can play around with a little bit.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's got to be like Bunny ears
Speaker 1: on there for kailin.
Speaker 3: What's your go to position, Jared, here's an Ashley's Okay?
Speaker 2: Can we talk about something else?
Speaker 1: Yeah, we don't go deep. If it was din, if
Speaker 1: it was just you and I, we could rattle about
Speaker 1: this all day long. But you know, I want to
Speaker 1: be respectful of the lady in the room.
Speaker 3: You know, the listeners want to hear about their favorite positions.
Speaker 2: Let's try something else.
Speaker 1: Well, all right, so we'll we'll transition away from the
Speaker 1: sexy time talk even though, hey, listen, there's nothing to
Speaker 1: be ashamed of. It's just part of life, guys.
Speaker 3: But I have a question. I have a non inappropriate question.
Speaker 3: Ashley's not on birth control, right, So I know you
Speaker 3: said you guys aren't trying for a child, a second child,
Speaker 3: but like technically you're not not just on birth control.
Speaker 3: Oh she is, okay, I gotcha.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah right, Oh yeah.
Speaker 3: I just kind of always figured once you have a baby,
Speaker 3: you're kind of like off birth control for the rest
Speaker 3: of them, for your to life.
Speaker 1: Why would you think that because I'm an idiot, Because
Speaker 1: you're a guy. You don't know what the hell you're
Speaker 1: talking about.
Speaker 3: I guess, you know, I just assume once you stop it,
Speaker 3: there's no you're not going to restart it. But it does.
Speaker 3: I mean, it makes sense now that we're talking about it.
Speaker 3: I just have always kind of assumed, you know, you're married,
Speaker 3: you have a baby, and then you're kind of just
Speaker 3: like winging it and whatever happens.
Speaker 2: Yeah, say I do we get off with birth control?
Speaker 3: And then you know, yeah, I mean, Kalen's not on
Speaker 3: birth control, so we're we're not technically trying to have
Speaker 3: a kid. But like you know, there's no goalie in
Speaker 3: the goal.
Speaker 1: That puck.
Speaker 3: If it happens, it happens, Caitlyn might be pregnant at
Speaker 3: the wedding.
Speaker 2: No, that would be not good because I just tried
Speaker 2: on my wedding dress and it fit perfect.
Speaker 1: You would need some alterations at that point.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But I feel like you're going to be like
Speaker 3: a tiny pregnant person.
Speaker 2: Would be nice, I hope yeah.
Speaker 3: Or it could be the opposite. You could do with
Speaker 3: balloon and we could have quadruplets. But yeah, either way,
Speaker 3: I guess we'll wait till after the wedding. But I
Speaker 3: guess my point being that you know you're not on
Speaker 3: birth control. I'm certainly not wearing condoms, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, those are long a gooing.
Speaker 3: Bro could happen.
Speaker 1: I just I can't remember the last time. Speaking of weddings,
Speaker 1: how are you guys feeling about the wedding right now?
Speaker 1: Where are you right now in the process? So you're
Speaker 1: trying on dresses, Dean, you probably haven't even started looking
Speaker 1: at Texas yet, but the venues all booked. Do you
Speaker 1: guys have food?
Speaker 3: All that good stuff we're going? Oh sorry, you can
Speaker 3: answer kaelin.
Speaker 2: In three weeks we have our food tasting. But next step,
Speaker 2: our wedding invites are going to print next week and
Speaker 2: then they'll be sent out mid June. Other than that,
Speaker 2: it's like design details. But try to my wedding gown
Speaker 2: fit perfectly. And on my way walking to right after
Speaker 2: the podcast downtown walking to my wedding dress fitting I
Speaker 2: passed like seven tuck shops, and so I feel like
Speaker 2: they're like, that's where Dean should go to find his
Speaker 2: pinguin tuxedo.
Speaker 3: What in France?
Speaker 2: Oh this was in downtown Los Angeles.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, Well do I go to the
Speaker 3: tux s fitting by myself?
Speaker 2: You could bring a friend, bring Josh or Jackson Jackson stylish,
Speaker 2: I told I asked Jackson.
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, if you want to get fitted
Speaker 3: for a tuxedo with me, we'll get you. You pay
Speaker 3: for your tuxedo. But then he's like, well, would I
Speaker 3: wear a tuxedo? And then I was like, yeah, I
Speaker 3: guess you probably wouldn't wear a tuxedo.
Speaker 2: He should wear suit, but he should still go with
Speaker 2: you because we will cover his suit cost.
Speaker 3: Oh but he's pa, he's proba already got one. But
Speaker 3: I guess we could buy him a new and that'd
Speaker 3: be a good gesture on our behalf.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's do it. We should.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So anyways, as we were saying, we got a
Speaker 3: food tasting in three weeks, we're actually gonna stay at
Speaker 3: the property that everyone's going to stay at with us,
Speaker 3: and it should be a good time.
Speaker 2: I think it's our first time seeing it not covered
Speaker 2: in snow, so it'll be interesting to see and actually
Speaker 2: like stay there.
Speaker 1: I mean, are you guys doing multiple food vendors? Like
Speaker 1: are you picking? Did you already pick the people? You're
Speaker 1: a caterer.
Speaker 2: So the property we're getting married at has a farm
Speaker 2: to table chef and he'll be there just like preparing
Speaker 2: the meals, and I guess we'll decide from there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, which would be interesting. I've never really done a
Speaker 3: food tasting before.
Speaker 1: But they're gonna wine and dine you. It's very nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like what are we going to do?
Speaker 3: Like take three bites of seven meals?
Speaker 1: Pretty much? But that's the best part is that you
Speaker 1: get to try all all this different food and then
Speaker 1: you can take it to go or you know, you
Speaker 1: can obviously give it to a food shelter. You don't
Speaker 1: throw the food out, but yeah, yeah, try all these
Speaker 1: different things and then you get to figure out what
Speaker 1: you want.
Speaker 3: Are they charging us for this food tasting?
Speaker 2: Klein, No, they're not. It's included. That's the one thing
Speaker 2: that's included.
Speaker 3: That is I'm surprised I am charging us a thousand
Speaker 3: dollars for this.
Speaker 2: I know, I'm surprised. We Dan and I were talking.
Speaker 2: We're like, should we just stay at the property because
Speaker 2: are tastings late. It's a little bit removed from Aspen.
Speaker 2: It's like kind of a drive and Deed's like, they're
Speaker 2: going to charge one thousand dollars for one night, but
Speaker 2: they gave us a discount of one hundred dollars, sohous.
Speaker 3: I guess, very generous, and it'll be nice. It'll be
Speaker 3: nice to just stay up there and kind of feel
Speaker 3: what it's going to be like for us and for
Speaker 3: everyone else that's there.
Speaker 1: You know how many people are you guys inviting? I know,
Speaker 1: I can't remember.
Speaker 3: Small it gets smaller every day. I think it's gonna be.
Speaker 2: Like seventy Yeah, but we inviting like eighty five maybe. Yeah,
Speaker 2: we've gotten a couple of those, so really Yeah. Hannah
Speaker 2: Ann from The Bachelors so far is a no.
Speaker 1: Yea Well that headline this week Hannah Ann not going No.
Speaker 3: I know I's and I'm sure some of my friends
Speaker 3: won't show up too, because you know, who wants to
Speaker 3: go to a wedding and Aspen in summertime in the fall.
Speaker 1: But it'll be nice Aspen. You've heard the Beautiful is
Speaker 1: like wine over there, you know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, lots of fish in the Capistrano River as well. Yeah. No,
Speaker 3: it'll be good. It'll be good. It's just a little stressful.
Speaker 3: I'm still trying to plan my bachelor party. That's kind
Speaker 3: of like what I've been thinking about doing a lot
Speaker 3: of lately. I haven't actually taken any action on it,
Speaker 3: but just thinking about it.
Speaker 1: Hey, the first step in anything is thinking about it. Yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I agree, You've checked that box off.
Speaker 3: I've got a group of like six of my close
Speaker 3: friends that I like put put together and I was like, hey, guys,
Speaker 3: so I don't have a best man, so I'm going
Speaker 3: to plan this, but I just like want to pick
Speaker 3: everyone's brain and like see what everyone wants to, you know,
Speaker 3: what everyone to be interested in doing, where we want
Speaker 3: to go, Like what time frame is the best? And
Speaker 3: it's I was such a bad idea because now I
Speaker 3: have six people saying this weekend, this weekend, this place,
Speaker 3: this place, this place, and it just what needs to
Speaker 3: happen is I just need to book something and then
Speaker 3: say this is where it's happening, this is when it's happening,
Speaker 3: and then I'll send out all the like the invites
Speaker 3: and everything.
Speaker 2: Obviously, Well, what I did that you'll never do is
Speaker 2: I sent out a survey and it was like, what
Speaker 2: dates are you available? Like which weekends in July and August?
Speaker 2: What's your size? Because I'm getting everyone like little clothes,
Speaker 2: like different outfits for the thing, favorite colors, et cetera.
Speaker 2: Which you'll never do, but you could just send out
Speaker 2: a survey with the dates. And then it was like
Speaker 2: I found one weekend where everyone is free.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's not going to happen for me, but yeah
Speaker 3: it's stressful. And now they're saying like, Dean, you got
Speaker 3: to freaking figure this out. You gotta get it done.
Speaker 3: If you don't do it, we're gonna do it for you.
Speaker 3: And I was like, no, I need to do this.
Speaker 3: I need to prove that I could plan something like
Speaker 3: this for you guys. And so they're like, well, what
Speaker 3: we want to help and I'm like, absolutely not. I'm
Speaker 3: going to do it.
Speaker 2: Because it's going to be like a wild weekend in
Speaker 2: scottsdaleer Vegas. Yeah, like just partying all the time. I
Speaker 2: do have a question for you to put you on blast.
Speaker 2: If you were to have a best man, who would
Speaker 2: it be?
Speaker 3: Oh, don't put me on blast.
Speaker 1: I just want to It'd be er, what am on blast?
Speaker 1: That's the safe answer. Come on now, it'd be Brett.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, Wells would kill you.
Speaker 3: I don't know. Maybe one of my brothers.
Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, it had to be a brother.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I wasn't a best man at my brother's wedding,
Speaker 3: which you know kind of makes me.
Speaker 1: Best man his best friend. Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, I between Josh Jackson and Roney.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'd probably be between those three. Maybe like Austin
Speaker 3: or some other people in there would be considered as well.
Speaker 3: But that's partly why I'm not having a best man,
Speaker 3: because I don't want to have to think about it.
Speaker 1: You know, that's nice if you have a made of honor.
Speaker 2: No. Told one of my best friends that if I
Speaker 2: were too, she would be the one. And she keeps
Speaker 2: asking me, like to plan the bride shower, the bachelorette
Speaker 2: all this stuff, and I was like, no, I've got it,
Speaker 2: but thanks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've told a few of my friends that, like
Speaker 3: I was like, hey, if I had a best man,
Speaker 3: you'd be I have to look.
Speaker 2: For to one person. That's insane.
Speaker 3: So I'm just that's kind of why I'm like stressed
Speaker 3: out about it. Not well, not stressed out. I would
Speaker 3: be stressed if we were doing that, but thankfully we're not.
Speaker 3: But yeah, no, wedding planning is going well. Uh we
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 2: Just well for you because you're not really doing a lot.
Speaker 3: That's going well for you because you enjoy it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3: So it's a perfect Kismet situation.
Speaker 2: We also pivoted on our dessert during our cake tasting.
Speaker 2: We were like, we don't like cake, why would we
Speaker 2: do cake for the dessert. So we switched to many
Speaker 2: ice cream sandwiches.
Speaker 3: Which is great. But I was lobbying for ice cream
Speaker 3: so early on and you the whole time were like, no,
Speaker 3: we can't have ice cream at our wedding as a dessert.
Speaker 3: It's impossible. How do you keep an ice cream cake
Speaker 3: cold for that long? And I was like, I don't know,
Speaker 3: there's a million ways to do it. I'm sure. And
Speaker 3: now look what we're doing. We're having ice cream, just
Speaker 3: like I wanted.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and we did a good compromise. My favorite dissert's
Speaker 2: chocolate chip cookies, your favorite desserts ice cream. So it's
Speaker 2: kind of like in the middle cookies and ice cream.
Speaker 1: Oh, you all know we should do too. We should
Speaker 1: be already compromising. You're already a married couple. Look at that.
Speaker 3: We should have a giant bowl of hot Cheetos at
Speaker 3: the wedding as well.
Speaker 2: I'm good, but that could be for your bachelor party.
Speaker 3: No, it should be at the wedding. I want it
Speaker 3: to be at the end of the buffet. Do we
Speaker 3: have a buffet. I want it to be at right
Speaker 3: next to the ice cream sandwiches. A big bowl of
Speaker 3: hot Cheetos we.
Speaker 2: Can do like that, can be the people's goodie bags
Speaker 2: as they leave, you.
Speaker 3: Know, yeah, no, no, no, no, I want it right
Speaker 3: next to the ice cream.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie next to the ice cream. Sounds terrible,
Speaker 1: but the goodie bags is a great idea.
Speaker 3: You eat some mot Cheetos and then dig into some
Speaker 3: ice creaming, cleanse your palate, set it back to neutral, and.
Speaker 2: Then we'll have white monster on the side, all of
Speaker 2: these favorites.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that sounds like a great idea.
Speaker 1: What are you guys? I was looking forward to at
Speaker 1: the wedding. Yeah, the wedding day, whatever the wedding has entailed.
Speaker 2: Friday of the wedding, I think is going to be
Speaker 2: really fun. Like, obviously I'm excited for the wedding, but
Speaker 2: it sounds like a lot of pressure on us and
Speaker 2: a lot of attention on us. So I think Friday
Speaker 2: I'm most excited for.
Speaker 3: Mm hmm rehearsal.
Speaker 2: Then I'm asuming there's like an event on Friday that
Speaker 2: I'm excited.
Speaker 1: Okay, have a band talking about it?
Speaker 2: We could, but I might as well keep me surprise.
Speaker 3: Yeah, is John Craigie coming to play at our wedding
Speaker 3: for on Friday? Is that what the surprise is.
Speaker 2: No, it's not a surprise for you. You know what's happening.
Speaker 3: Oh I thought you were going to say John Craigi
Speaker 3: is going to come and play a private set for
Speaker 3: all of our attention.
Speaker 1: No Matchbox twenty is she'll be pretty sick.
Speaker 2: Anything would be awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we could reach out, you know, I reach out
Speaker 3: to John, I'll talk to.
Speaker 2: I'm down to fly out an artist if we can
Speaker 2: fly out one person versus like five people, because it's
Speaker 2: very hard to fly out five people to Aspen.
Speaker 1: And it's just very expensive. We had David Cook player wedding,
Speaker 1: and legitimately because it was him, his like assistant his
Speaker 1: band members because they had he had a couple of
Speaker 1: people and then they stayed two nights. I think maybe
Speaker 1: it was just one night camera. So we had to
Speaker 1: play for the flights, all their travel, all their equipment
Speaker 1: because remember they're bringing big ass equipment with them, and
Speaker 1: their hotels and the hotel was like five hundred dollars
Speaker 1: a night, so it was a lot of money.
Speaker 2: Well, like had a singer singer reach out and it
Speaker 2: was her, her team, her husband, and Aspen is so expensive.
Speaker 2: I'm flying out Emma the makeup artist, Emma Willis and
Speaker 2: that I was like breaking the bank over So I
Speaker 2: know you're.
Speaker 1: Gonna love You're gonna love having her there.
Speaker 2: Oh, she's the best. After my engagement party, I went
Speaker 2: and did a trial with someone else in Denver and
Speaker 2: I was like, no one compares to Emma, so's weird.
Speaker 1: She's the best, and just like awesome having her. You
Speaker 1: want to be surrounded by the people you love on
Speaker 1: your wedding day, Like I look back and having Emma
Speaker 1: there was so awesome. Troy, our wedding planner, there was amazing.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of just other people that flew
Speaker 1: in for work, work purposes, but we were so happy
Speaker 1: to have them there. There was a bunch of people,
Speaker 1: so yeah, definitely a good choice with Emma.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited. I also wanted to fly out the
Speaker 2: planners for engagement party. Her company is called Runaway Indy,
Speaker 2: but I get along so well with her. Dean loves
Speaker 2: her husband.
Speaker 3: Oh love her husband. He's the most handsome man in
Speaker 3: the world.
Speaker 2: And they're just like I want to be friends with them.
Speaker 2: There's so much fun. We have so much fun hanging
Speaker 2: out with them. And after the engagement party, I was like,
Speaker 2: we're going to fly you out. We want you to
Speaker 2: stay on the property. And then I realized how expensive
Speaker 2: it was, and I was like, Okay, never yet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I don't know, it might be worth it.
Speaker 1: Like I remember even like the videographers lorev where they're
Speaker 1: just like, you become so close with these people and
Speaker 1: then because you're going through all of this process and
Speaker 1: you're planning such an important day and then they're there,
Speaker 1: it is you kind of it's your family there for
Speaker 1: like seventy two hours, and it's really nice.
Speaker 2: We are shooting with our wedding photographer during our food
Speaker 2: tasting for the first time, and he seems incredible. We've
Speaker 2: never met him. I've just talked him on the phone
Speaker 2: and he was like, I want to. I like to
Speaker 2: shoot with my couples beforehand, just so I get a
Speaker 2: feel for them. And yeah, it'll be it'll be fun
Speaker 2: to like shoot with him, get to know him better
Speaker 2: a dean. When I talk to him on the phone,
Speaker 2: he rends me a lot of Ben Higgins, like the
Speaker 2: way he speaks and is I don't know. Over the phone.
Speaker 2: I was like, you sound exactly like Ben.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be fun. So yeah, so we're doing that.
Speaker 3: We're spending one night on the property and then the
Speaker 3: next day I drive seven hours to climb a mountain.
Speaker 3: So it'll be good. And then what are you doing
Speaker 3: killing your Are you find out to Aspen?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, have you booked that yet? Text you about that? No,
Speaker 2: I haven't, but I'm going to fly out the next morning.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie for a second there. When you
Speaker 1: said the next day, I was like, are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: The day after your wedding, you're climbing on Are we
Speaker 1: getting married on a Saturday?
Speaker 2: We are?
Speaker 1: This guy doesn't know anything.
Speaker 3: No, that's good. I've known these things. I just want
Speaker 3: to reconfirm. The more I hear it, the more it
Speaker 3: sticks in my head for a longer repetition.
Speaker 1: We do the same thing with Dawson.
Speaker 2: You know how you want to get married on a Tuesday. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm here in France and I showed up and someone
Speaker 2: was getting married on a Wednesday. So it happens.
Speaker 3: Dreams do come true. I guess for those people at least. Yeah,
Speaker 3: But Jared fill listen on what's going on in your life?
Speaker 1: Man?
Speaker 3: How was Mother's Day? This was your second Mother's Day
Speaker 3: with Dawson. Obviously you are the father, but you know
Speaker 3: how is Ashley's Day?
Speaker 1: I am the father. I think a Mother's Day went well.
Speaker 1: We got dinner with my family. So I worked until
Speaker 1: about four thirty because Audrey's was just really busy. Obviously
Speaker 1: Mother's Day a lot of people go out, so it
Speaker 1: was pretty low key. I worked the night before there
Speaker 1: was so we do these after wedding parties sometimes and
Speaker 1: they go to about two in the morning. We close
Speaker 1: it one, but we're there till too. So I got
Speaker 1: out to work at Saturday around two in the morning,
Speaker 1: and then I had to be back there for a
Speaker 1: little bit before eight. And but there's a CVS at
Speaker 1: twenty four hour CVS, and I knew I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: be home till about five on Sunday for Mother's Day.
Speaker 1: So I walked into the CVS at like two fifteen
Speaker 1: in the morning and got Ashley a card and flower
Speaker 1: and candy and wrote her a little note in the
Speaker 1: card and had it waiting for her when she woke up,
Speaker 1: which I hope sufficed because you know, it's just crazy
Speaker 1: town over here in the Have and Nike and Eddie household.
Speaker 1: But Mother's Day was good. Man, Like I you know,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just as I get older and listen,
Speaker 1: I think women are incredible creatures and mothers deserve so
Speaker 1: much praise and love because I've seen firsthand what Ashley
Speaker 1: has gone through with pregnancy and helping, you know, raising
Speaker 1: our child, and of course I raise our child as well,
Speaker 1: but Ashley's so good at being a mother. So I
Speaker 1: don't mean any disrespect. But like, I don't know, I'm
Speaker 1: kind of just getting over holidays, cause it's like, dude,
Speaker 1: like it's just like that Saturday. Our lives are chaotic,
Speaker 1: We're all over the place, and I'm like, ah shit,
Speaker 1: Like I have to get Ashley something I don't know
Speaker 1: what together her like. I was like, maybe I'll get
Speaker 1: her massage or something, so like, because I try to
Speaker 1: like show my appreciation every day to Ashley, but it's
Speaker 1: like one of those things where I'm like, oh, my god,
Speaker 1: Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, Birthdays. I'm like, my god,
Speaker 1: am I just becoming an old grump? Is that what's happening?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you've been an old grump for a while.
Speaker 2: Though. I feel like we talked about this on the podcast,
Speaker 2: just being over holidays recently. I agree with you it's
Speaker 2: too much.
Speaker 1: I mean, I still love Christmas and Halloween, but that
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like it's more of like a celebratory season, yeah,
Speaker 1: rather than like this one day you have. I mean,
Speaker 1: I guess Christmas kind of, but well, Christmas.
Speaker 3: You at least like decorate four you get excited for.
Speaker 3: It's like more of a build up and a bigger thing.
Speaker 3: So I don't think Christmas really falls into the category
Speaker 3: of things like Valentine's Day. But I do agree with
Speaker 3: you Mother's Day. It's great obviously to celebrate and appreciate mothers,
Speaker 3: but it just seems like sometimes it seems a little forced,
Speaker 3: like you should be celebrating these people every day. So
Speaker 3: I'm with you on that one. Birthdays and Christmas, even Christmas,
Speaker 3: I don't love Christmas. Birthdays I think are important, right Kaylen.
Speaker 2: Second time I've ever heard you say that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, right, Kayla.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you think are or are not important?
Speaker 3: There are the only important ones in my opinion, Like birthdays.
Speaker 3: Everyone's got a different birthday. You're celebrating something actually that happened,
Speaker 3: not like some random, made up thing. Birthdays I think
Speaker 3: make the most sense to celebrate in my mind.
Speaker 1: See birthdays, however, should be celebrated for the mother because
Speaker 1: Mother's Day. So I think Mother's Day should just be canceled.
Speaker 1: And then the day of your birth you should celebrate
Speaker 1: your mother because she's the one who pushed you out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and I've seen it firsthand and I would die if
Speaker 1: I went through that. So I celebrate Ashley for that,
Speaker 1: I say, Dawson.
Speaker 2: And then like the build up for Mother's Day, I
Speaker 2: feel like a lot of moms are let down. Like
Speaker 2: I called my mom for Mother's Day and I was like,
Speaker 2: what are you doing? She said, Yeah, no one really
Speaker 2: did anything for me. I'll just like go pick up
Speaker 2: dinner to go on the way home. So I feel
Speaker 2: like there's a lot of opportunity for let down with
Speaker 2: Mother's Day because typically then this is just the household
Speaker 2: I grew up, and moms do a lot of the work,
Speaker 2: and like, you know, my mom is the one to
Speaker 2: get all the Christmas presents, all of the birthday presents,
Speaker 2: and so I feel like she's typically pretty let down
Speaker 2: on Mother's Day. You know.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's sad. See, that's I know. Yeah, mothers
Speaker 1: should be just celebrated every day, be like hey, thanks
Speaker 1: for being you, you know, because Mother's Day, it's just
Speaker 1: I don't know, but.
Speaker 3: I'm sure most moms would say like, oh, I don't
Speaker 3: need I don't need it. You know, you're my biggest gift,
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera. As I mean, I'm not a mom,
Speaker 3: nor will I ever be. But I guess I'm just
Speaker 3: saying like I don't really, I don't know, it's just
Speaker 3: I don't know, maybe.
Speaker 2: Typically pretty selfless.
Speaker 3: I agree, Yeah, yeah, right, selfless. That's kind of what
Speaker 3: I was trying to get too. Thanks for helping me there.
Speaker 3: But I agree with you, Jered, Like, you know, when
Speaker 3: February comes around, you guys are celebrating Dawson's birthday, make
Speaker 3: sure that you let Ashley know how special the day
Speaker 3: should be for here as well.
Speaker 1: Oh I tell her that all the time anytime I
Speaker 1: see a baby now at Audrey's. For example, there was
Speaker 1: a one month old little boy at Audrey's today who
Speaker 1: is so cute, and he was crying, and it brought
Speaker 1: me back because like, there is a different type of
Speaker 1: cry that a young baby has, and it's like piercing
Speaker 1: and I because it just feels like they're in pain,
Speaker 1: you know, I know they're not. It's just like they're
Speaker 1: just in the world and they don't know what to do.
Speaker 1: It's really sad. But anyway, so the baby was crying,
Speaker 1: and whenever it was like, oh, he's so adorably, so cute,
Speaker 1: bluda blah blah, which he was. But then I was
Speaker 1: looked at the mom. I'm like, how are you doing?
Speaker 1: Like you're the one who's not sleeping, You're the one
Speaker 1: who just pushed this living thing out of you. You're
Speaker 1: the one who's dealing with all the consequences of what's
Speaker 1: happening to your body right now. It's a beautiful thing
Speaker 1: it's a wonderful thing. I would never Dawson is the
Speaker 1: best thing that's ever happened to me. I love him
Speaker 1: so much. I definitely do want another kid, even though
Speaker 1: like when I think really think about it, it's like, whof,
Speaker 1: I don't know if we could do it. But I
Speaker 1: love Dawson so much. I would never trade anything for him,
Speaker 1: but damn, Like it's a lot on me, let alone
Speaker 1: Ashley and so like, I always make a point to
Speaker 1: be like, how are you doing? Like you are you
Speaker 1: okay because it's okay? You know, are you getting any sleep?
Speaker 3: Are you?
Speaker 1: Are you just sad all the time? What's going on
Speaker 1: with you?
Speaker 3: If you had to make a decision between Dawson and Ashley, Jared,
Speaker 3: who would you pick?
Speaker 1: I love my wife. I love my wife so much.
Speaker 1: She's one of the best things that's ever happened to
Speaker 1: me in my life. You know, maybe tied with Dawson,
Speaker 1: maybe tied with Dawson, but I got and I would
Speaker 1: hope Ashley would make the same exact decision if, like
Speaker 1: we were in a Sophie's choice and it was Dawson
Speaker 1: or Ashley. I love you so much, Ashley, but I'm
Speaker 1: I'm going to try to save you both. That's my
Speaker 1: first option. But option number two is Dawson.
Speaker 3: Well that that kind of brings me to my question
Speaker 3: that I was that I was kind of wanting to ask,
Speaker 3: is as a as a parent, obviously you can speak
Speaker 3: to this. I can't speak to it. I've read or
Speaker 3: heard or whatever. I don't know, consume this information somehow
Speaker 3: that parents should and often parents often put their children
Speaker 3: before their relationship with their partner. But they always talk
Speaker 3: about how important it is to put your partner first always.
Speaker 3: But so you think you think it goes kid partner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think whoever said you need to put your
Speaker 1: partner first before your kid never had kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's probably not too far from the truth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I I would tell Ashley, and I think
Speaker 1: actually would make the exact same decision. I know she
Speaker 1: loves me. I know she cares about me more than
Speaker 1: anything besides Dawson. Uh maybe tied. I have of like
Speaker 1: all tied together. You know, it's hard to separate the
Speaker 1: three of us. You're like, just take them both. I would, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I would pull a Tom cruise and I would make
Speaker 1: sure that I rescue both of them. But if if
Speaker 1: the decision was ever left in Ashley's hands, Like if
Speaker 1: she had to, you know, she had to shoot one
Speaker 1: of us, shoot me, Ashley, Like, you're saving his life.
Speaker 3: He needs to live on Calen. How do you foresee
Speaker 3: that going for you? If that were ever a choice
Speaker 3: that you had to make, you are Alistair, I.
Speaker 1: Think, or.
Speaker 2: You over alis Ir. Elistair's a jerk sometimes, Oh we
Speaker 2: love him. He's just so mean.
Speaker 1: It's mean. What does he do? He bites people, loves
Speaker 1: bites people too. She's a little meani herself.
Speaker 2: It gives me so much anxiety. But I've heard like,
Speaker 2: once you have a kid, everything changes, you know, so
Speaker 2: you put your kid above everything else, and then it's
Speaker 2: your partner.
Speaker 3: I would put you before the kid, no matter what.
Speaker 2: Really, I don't think that's true, but that's sweet.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, I think.
Speaker 2: I think when we bring a child into this world,
Speaker 2: you're going to experience a lot that you've never experienced
Speaker 2: ever before.
Speaker 1: It's also just the pure innocence of your kid. Like
Speaker 1: it's just he's so helpless and he's so happy about
Speaker 1: the smallest things. You know. I literally just go like
Speaker 1: I move my sunglasses up and down and then he smiles.
Speaker 3: And you're like, yeah, he also shuts his pants and
Speaker 3: doesn't contribute and isn't like, you know, he's not your
Speaker 3: You're that human entity that exists around you. I would
Speaker 3: pick Kylen every time, no matter what, and that's what
Speaker 3: I'm sticking with. But we do have to wrap this
Speaker 3: forget though.
Speaker 1: One day, when Caylen's older, she's gonna start pooping her
Speaker 1: pants too, So it's like full circle, you know what
Speaker 1: I mean. Do you want to deal with the poop
Speaker 1: now or are you a makeup brush by the time playing.
Speaker 3: With it by the time Caylen is pooping her pants,
Speaker 3: all of them pooping my pants for ten years at
Speaker 3: that point, So it's really it's kind of you know,
Speaker 3: not really with that list of worries. But that's gonna
Speaker 3: end it for this week's up, but not this week's
Speaker 3: but today's episode because we do have another episode coming up.
Speaker 3: We're cutting this one short because we have some great
Speaker 3: guests joining us in a couple of days on that
Speaker 3: podcast for innera from Chicks in the Office. Be sure
Speaker 3: to stick around for that in a couple of days.
Speaker 3: But Jared, thank you for being open about your favorite
Speaker 3: sexual positions. That was really enlightening.
Speaker 1: I didn't answer it, but sure Ashley was in the
Speaker 1: corner like, yeah, no, I can.
Speaker 3: It's really glare through the zoom even though she was
Speaker 3: out of frame.
Speaker 1: She was happy.
