Speaker 3: Let's go, biggest fan in the world, Jared, what's up, dude?
Speaker 1: You were very serious. Do you do you love Dave
Speaker 1: Matthews Band.
Speaker 3: No, I don't. I mean I'm impartial. I don't have
Speaker 3: a feeling towards them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, neither do I. I've never wanted to go to
Speaker 1: a Dave Matthews band concert because when I was in
Speaker 1: my early twenties, a lot of my friends would go
Speaker 1: every summer because they would always tour and they would
Speaker 1: just smoke a ton of weed.
Speaker 3: Go to the Eastern kind of thing, like jam bandy
Speaker 3: sort of thing. Right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll never understand it. I don't get it, don't
Speaker 1: want to be a part of it like I enjoy.
Speaker 1: You know, ants Marching. I think that's the name of
Speaker 1: the song.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know singing one of songs, but they
Speaker 3: know they're so crash.
Speaker 1: You know that song It plays in Joe Dirt Joe Dirte.
Speaker 4: We actually just watched that movie yesterday. Kaitlyn kind of
Speaker 4: watched it. I watched the whole thing, still holds up,
Speaker 4: Still a great movie. The Northeast part of the US
Speaker 4: loves their jam bands. One of my best friends is
Speaker 4: from Connecticut. He goes to every fish show possible. Hasn't
Speaker 4: missed a fish show in twenty years. We went into
Speaker 4: a Green Sky bluegrass show at Red Rocks a couple
Speaker 4: of months ago, and that's it's obviously not Jambian because
Speaker 4: it's bluegrass, but they have a gam band persona kind
Speaker 4: of thing like a feel to them where they'll play,
Speaker 4: you know, they've got a four minute song on a track,
Speaker 4: but they'll turn that song into twenty minutes and then
Speaker 4: they'll play eighty songs. And it got to the point
Speaker 4: where we looked at each other, We're like, we're exhausted,
Speaker 4: let's get out of here. And they probably still had
Speaker 4: at least two more hours of playing left.
Speaker 3: But that's neither here nor there. Jared, what's up with you?
Speaker 3: And what have we missed? I feel like you were
Speaker 3: at a wedding this past weekend.
Speaker 1: I was so I got a quick question before we
Speaker 1: talk about the wedding because we were talking about Fish.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Is fish spelt pH? I sh or? Is it fish?
Speaker 2: It is?
Speaker 1: Okay, it's that dude. I don't know any of their songs.
Speaker 1: How do I know the band fish? Though? Why is
Speaker 1: that such a thing? And I don't know any of
Speaker 1: their songs.
Speaker 4: They're a band that, like you go to one of
Speaker 4: their shows, or you don't. Of course, you go to
Speaker 4: one of their shows and they'll play I think I'm
Speaker 4: pretty sure it was fish that they had like ten
Speaker 4: consecutive days at Madison Square Garden and they didn't play
Speaker 4: a single repeat song.
Speaker 3: They play because they'll.
Speaker 4: Play other people's songs, they'll like cover them and they'll
Speaker 4: do like, you know, six minute guitar solo riffs.
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be like going to a bar and
Speaker 1: seeing a cover band.
Speaker 3: But they're very talented cover band.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of talented cover bands. Anyway,
Speaker 1: we don't have to talk about this. But wedding. Yes,
Speaker 1: I went to our friend Courtney's wedding out in Tahoe
Speaker 1: Reno area. It was nice. It was very nice. You know,
Speaker 1: just long travel day, but that was okay. Flew out Friday.
Speaker 1: We left Dawson very sad. He was he because we
Speaker 1: left early in the morning, at like six forty five,
Speaker 1: so he wasn't up yet, and he of course, of
Speaker 1: course he's usually never up, but as soon as we
Speaker 1: weren't even making any noise, but he just woke up
Speaker 1: on his own. He must have sensed that we were leaving.
Speaker 1: Starts to crying, scream crying. We felt bad because we
Speaker 1: had to get on the road, and so we just
Speaker 1: left the babysitter with a scream crying Dawson, which is
Speaker 1: always just heart wrenching.
Speaker 3: So you guys do what to Los Angeles and then
Speaker 3: up to Reno or something.
Speaker 1: No, I flew to Denver. So we were in your
Speaker 1: area from Boston to Denver, denveron Toreno. It was like
Speaker 1: an outside out of outside out of Reno Airport close
Speaker 1: to Tahoe.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but we've been there. We went to that airport together.
Speaker 3: I just saw someone mention that Ashley was the officiant.
Speaker 1: Ashley was the officiant. So Courtney is someone that we've
Speaker 1: worked with with brand deals. So she is a big
Speaker 1: Bachelor fan. The way that Courney and Ashley met, it's
Speaker 1: Courtney is a big Bachelor fan.
Speaker 3: And she.
Speaker 1: Lived in Northern California at the time, and she would
Speaker 1: always go to LA because she wanted to be in LA.
Speaker 1: She wanted to be in the industry. And so she
Speaker 1: was tweeting at Ashley one day saying, Hey, I'm going
Speaker 1: to be at the grove. I'm going to be at
Speaker 1: the grove, Like you should come to the grove. I'll
Speaker 1: see you there, and she kept tweeting Ashley, and Ashley
Speaker 1: noticed it because she kept tweeting at Ashley saying I'll
Speaker 1: be at the grove. She's like, this girl's tweeting me.
Speaker 1: This was back in twenty fifteen sixteen. So anyway, Ashley
Speaker 1: forgets about it. Later that day, Ashley ends up at
Speaker 1: the grove and guess who's there but Courtney. And so
Speaker 1: of course Courtney goes up rushes up to Ashley and
Speaker 1: she's like, oh my god, I'm the girl who's tweeting
Speaker 1: at you. I can't believe you're here. And so they
Speaker 1: talked for a while and then Courtney is very warm
Speaker 1: and welcoming, and then she's like, I want to work
Speaker 1: in the industry, you know, I want to help, Like
Speaker 1: I want to be in PR marketing, And so Ashley
Speaker 1: in her exchange information and then she's like, you know,
Speaker 1: can I help get brand deals for you? And Ashley
Speaker 1: is like, you know, sure, of course absolutely. And she's
Speaker 1: a really hard worker and she's savvy, and she's she
Speaker 1: started her own company. She's really grown. She's worked with
Speaker 1: she worked with a lot of bachelor people like Heather.
Speaker 1: Do you guys remember Heather who was on Colton's season.
Speaker 1: Her storyline was she never was kissed. So Heather Martin,
Speaker 1: who's been on this podcast before, and so Heather was there,
Speaker 1: which was nice. Taylor Nolan was there. She's worked with
Speaker 1: Taylor before. I think those are the only two Bachelor
Speaker 1: people that were there. But I know she's worked with
Speaker 1: other people as well, but she still worked. She's you know,
Speaker 1: I still work with her and she still does stuff
Speaker 1: with Ashley's other podcasts. I don't get it. So Courtney
Speaker 1: asked if Ashley would officiate the wedding, and Ashley did
Speaker 1: an awesome job. She killed it, crushed it, which I
Speaker 1: figured she would. I mean, we're also used to public
Speaker 1: speaking at this point that, you know, coming up with
Speaker 1: a yule excuse me, not a eulogy, but like a
Speaker 1: speech the opposite of what. Yeah, we all dressed in black.
Speaker 1: But it was very nice, and.
Speaker 3: That is it.
Speaker 1: I feel like I shouldn't talk about weddings right now
Speaker 1: because obviously there's a big wedding coming up. Great.
Speaker 3: We like to get the scoop, the inside scoop. What
Speaker 3: what did you like about the wedding? How big was it?
Speaker 3: What didn't you like about it give us all all
Speaker 3: the juicy deats.
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't want to make you
Speaker 1: guys self conscious, like I feel like we can't critique
Speaker 1: any I don't feel like I should critique any weddings
Speaker 1: right now. And the wedding was beautiful. It was a
Speaker 1: great wedding.
Speaker 2: It was very.
Speaker 1: Personalized, which I think Ashley did a great job. You know,
Speaker 1: anything Ashley does, she always makes it personal. But I
Speaker 1: found that that was so much more endearing because she
Speaker 1: really told the story about how she met Courtney and
Speaker 1: then how Courtney met Dima, who is her now husband,
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, and then she was able to
Speaker 1: talk to a lot of her friends and she really
Speaker 1: told stories about them to meeting in high school and
Speaker 1: then being high school sweethearts and then breaking up and
Speaker 1: then getting back to get there, and then Ashley talking
Speaker 1: about how her and Coordinator so similar in a lot
Speaker 1: of ways and everything was so personal. That was really
Speaker 1: it was really nice ceremony.
Speaker 4: So are you guys like friends of these people or
Speaker 4: is it just kind of like, yeah, we're friends, Okay,
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we're friends with you guys like hanging out
Speaker 4: and do stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, we were in La we'd always, like, you know,
Speaker 1: we'd get coffee together. She lives in La so I
Speaker 1: mean we're never there anymore obviously.
Speaker 4: Right right, right, But this was another thing where that
Speaker 4: they like met once and they thought it'd be cool
Speaker 4: to have actually officiate.
Speaker 3: But there, you guys are.
Speaker 1: We would have said no, we would not have gone.
Speaker 1: It was way too long of a travel to sure
Speaker 1: have known somebody for one day and be like, yeah,
Speaker 1: well we'll fly to Reno to go to your wedding.
Speaker 1: Get the hell out of it.
Speaker 4: Maybe maybe you guys were feeling generous, but that's awesome,
Speaker 4: glad you said fun. Did you guys go on the
Speaker 4: lake at all?
Speaker 1: No, we had no time because literally flew in Friday,
Speaker 1: got in at like seven, went straight to the rehearstal
Speaker 1: of dinner, then went to bed, woke up the next day,
Speaker 1: and then Ashley had to start getting ready with everybody
Speaker 1: consumed deficient. So she was with Courtney and the bridesmaids
Speaker 1: all day at like eleven and so I just kind
Speaker 1: of was on the computer, walked around. The ceremony was
Speaker 1: at four, and then we fool out a five point
Speaker 1: forty the next morning.
Speaker 4: You don't have to see female officiants. You don't know,
Speaker 4: well's I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know either. I have an answer for you,
Speaker 2: So are you?
Speaker 1: Uh? Yeah, I feel like I can't talk about the
Speaker 1: wedding because I don't want to talk about things that
Speaker 1: I liked and didn't like. And then have you guys
Speaker 1: be like, oh, I didn't think of that, or is
Speaker 1: this going to be bad?
Speaker 3: It's not gonna hurt our feelings.
Speaker 2: Yeah, our feelings aren't easily hurt. And oh yeah, you're
Speaker 2: you're very sensitive. One thing that we're not doing at
Speaker 2: the wedding, we're not doing any speeches because we've been
Speaker 2: to too many where they go on and on for
Speaker 2: so long. So that's something we're standing our ground on.
Speaker 4: Yeah, after Jared Nash's wedding, I said, no more speeches.
Speaker 3: No.
Speaker 1: No.
Speaker 2: We went to one recently and it just, you know,
Speaker 2: I think we talked about on the podcast there of
Speaker 2: the bride came out with like stacks stapled paper. It
Speaker 2: was probably like ten pages long, and we're like Jesuise
Speaker 2: and like nobody can really eat.
Speaker 1: Was so no speeches at all, no speech Maybe.
Speaker 2: I talked to the DJ yesterday and I said no,
Speaker 2: but if you want to he said, I'll put Mike's
Speaker 2: at whoever table is speaking.
Speaker 3: My brother was like, you have to let me give
Speaker 3: a speech. You have to let me give a speech.
Speaker 1: Of course, I'm gonna say something. Speeches are my favorite
Speaker 1: part of the wedding because there is nothing that I
Speaker 1: love more. Because what listen, the whole reason I'm at
Speaker 1: this wedding, anybody's wedding. I'll talk about your specific but
Speaker 1: any wedding is to see the two people who I'm
Speaker 1: there for and to celebrate their love. And so what
Speaker 1: I love is those It's kind of similar to watching
Speaker 1: Bachelor toooes to an extent, like yes, of course, like
Speaker 1: the traditional stuff of a wedding is great and fun,
Speaker 1: but what I am there is to see and like
Speaker 1: be like feel your love and like there's few things
Speaker 1: that I now obviously there's you know, certain circumstances with
Speaker 1: anybody's wedding in terms of family members or friends of
Speaker 1: like who's going to give the speech, who's not going
Speaker 1: to give the speech, but like you know, a father
Speaker 1: of the bride speech or or you know, even like
Speaker 1: your brother's speech, like if it's and now some best
Speaker 1: man speeches suck because guys are stupid and they don't
Speaker 1: make it personal, and they're like, oh, I'm just going
Speaker 1: to tell you know, stupid ass stories about the groom
Speaker 1: and how he's a moron, and it's like, no, that's
Speaker 1: not I want to hear about, Like why do you
Speaker 1: love your brother or your sister or your son or
Speaker 1: your daughter, and like what is it about their significant
Speaker 1: other that you're so excited for them to have like
Speaker 1: bring to the family. Those are the speeches that I
Speaker 1: I just I yeah, I really love.
Speaker 4: Two of the last speeches of the of the few
Speaker 4: weddings we went into, the brother of one of the
Speaker 4: groom or bride I can't remember got so drunk and
Speaker 4: so they were just standing up there like slurring their words,
Speaker 4: getting on like an infinite loop where they just kept
Speaker 4: saying the same thing over and both cases, the same
Speaker 4: thing over and over and over again. They started off
Speaker 4: and then eventually started realizing that they're just they don't
Speaker 4: know what they're saying. So maybe if we do speeches,
Speaker 4: we would do it before the drinks start flowing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, I'm still anti.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, listen, we can't let jerry your wedding at
Speaker 4: our wedding though, if Jared comes back on the stat
Speaker 4: this is the after start saying how disappointed he was.
Speaker 1: This is why I don't want to talk about weddings,
Speaker 1: because everybody wants to do their own thing, which you
Speaker 1: absolutely should. But as you could tell, Dean's speeches were
Speaker 1: very important and impactful part of our rehearsal and wedding itself,
Speaker 1: because we really wanted people to hear from our loved ones.
Speaker 1: Hypothetically speaking, if you said, okay, there were speeches at
Speaker 1: this wedding, one or two speeches, who would you guys
Speaker 1: choose to give speeches?
Speaker 4: Well, I feel still think I'm gonna let my brother
Speaker 4: do it, just because he said he wanted to. I
Speaker 4: didn't even think anyone would want to. Whenever anyone asks
Speaker 4: for a speech, I have only been asked to you
Speaker 4: one speech. I was like, crap, okay, fine, Yeah, so
Speaker 4: I didn't want to like put it at that burden.
Speaker 3: On anyone else.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Torris asked a few times as well, and I
Speaker 2: keep shooting her down.
Speaker 3: Great, you get toy. I would take Brad well.
Speaker 2: Then my siblings are't gonna say anything, but they're not
Speaker 2: public speakers. It would be interesting. Bella would not even
Speaker 2: take the microphone.
Speaker 3: So you get one and I'll get one. Let's do that. Okay, yeah, so.
Speaker 1: Who I'm not saying you should do this, but so Caitlin, who,
Speaker 1: who would you have?
Speaker 2: One of my best friends? My siblings just aren't public speakers.
Speaker 2: His brothers, well, one of them is.
Speaker 3: One of them is not?
Speaker 2: Yeah, kind of that's what I was like. Ross asked, Well.
Speaker 3: Of course you did it. You knew the answer before
Speaker 3: you asked the question.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 3: We'll make Jared happy. We'll do two speeches, one for the.
Speaker 1: I just love hearing from loved ones about how much
Speaker 1: they love you, guys, because it is a celebration of love.
Speaker 3: We just don't have any It's going to have many
Speaker 3: people that love us. So it's tough. It's tough to
Speaker 3: first from the bottom of the barrel here.
Speaker 2: But I think Dan and I both hate being the
Speaker 2: center of attention, and so.
Speaker 3: We refer to you.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just have that one day. Just forget about that,
Speaker 1: because you will be the center of attention.
Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's just like speeches. Oh, I don't know,
Speaker 2: if people saying nice things about me, you're gonna give
Speaker 2: uncomfortable you have.
Speaker 3: To give a speech. You have to thank everyone for coming.
Speaker 1: You do.
Speaker 4: You have to tell everyone how special they are to
Speaker 4: you have to go round the room and point out
Speaker 4: every single.
Speaker 3: Person and tell them how meaningful they are too.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, that's your job. Oh okay, you're
Speaker 2: better at this. You've been a podcasts for six years.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's my job. Well yeah, so I guess
Speaker 3: we're going to have two speeches now. Thanks. Thanks for
Speaker 3: the info, Jared. We appreciate it.
Speaker 4: See that's why we're glad that we poked in pride
Speaker 4: a little bit and got this out of you.
Speaker 1: I'm serious appreciate the speech is sucked. Now it's all
Speaker 1: on me.
Speaker 4: Well, then you have to step up and give a
Speaker 4: speech to mend everything, and and then you'll be the
Speaker 4: speech that everyone talks about afterwards about how great it was.
Speaker 1: I think in life in general, at least for me specifically,
Speaker 1: it's for some reason I have a hard time actually
Speaker 1: saying what I mean in terms of like it's it's
Speaker 1: still weird even with my I mean, of course I
Speaker 1: tell my parents I love them, but like I never
Speaker 1: really explain how I feel, you know, in terms of
Speaker 1: like what my love is all about? And in weddings,
Speaker 1: there's opportunity to do that and and and they're never weird,
Speaker 1: you know. So someone who gives a good speech and
Speaker 1: really it like, hey, not only do I love you,
Speaker 1: but this is why I love you, and I have
Speaker 1: to really think about exactly like what you mean to
Speaker 1: me and try to explain that to words. And I
Speaker 1: love hearing that because I don't hear it that often,
Speaker 1: and even for someone like people that I'm not that
Speaker 1: close with, like you know, I'm friends with Courtney and Dmitri,
Speaker 1: but like I'm not that close. But hearing you know,
Speaker 1: their family members and their friends talk about what they
Speaker 1: mean to them, of course makes me think about my
Speaker 1: own family and my own friends. So that's why I
Speaker 1: love speeches so much, because it's just like this moment
Speaker 1: where everybody in the room just becomes super vulnerable and
Speaker 1: just talks about their feelings and how much they care
Speaker 1: about other people in this room and what they mean
Speaker 1: to them. And I don't know, it's just a cool moment.
Speaker 1: But listen, listen, listen. This is your wedding, not mine.
Speaker 1: Who gives I've had my moment, My moment has passed.
Speaker 1: This is your moment, So you guys, do what you
Speaker 1: want to do. I will say, to your credit, Jared,
Speaker 1: my other brother's wedding, like the impromptu wedding and taw
Speaker 1: funny enough. Actually I did not give a speech out
Speaker 1: and it was tiny. It was like just both of
Speaker 1: our families. There's maybe like sixteen people. I regret not
Speaker 1: giving a speech because I regret not being able to
Speaker 1: say what Jared was just saying. I regret not being
Speaker 1: able to say to my brother in that one moment,
Speaker 1: like sure, you could say it any other time, but
Speaker 1: that's the moment where you can really just let it fly,
Speaker 1: let that person know how much you love them, how
Speaker 1: much you always love them, and it's like not expected,
Speaker 1: but it's like, you know, that's the time to do it.
Speaker 4: And I regret not I regret not doing it. So
Speaker 4: I see where Jared's coming from. Interesting, But I don't
Speaker 4: think anyone would go to our wedding and have that regret.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I highly doubt that.
Speaker 3: That's Wow.
Speaker 1: Again, I'm out of it.
Speaker 3: But there are times.
Speaker 4: There are times too where I'm on this podcast telling
Speaker 4: a story about something. Well this is maybe a little
Speaker 4: off topic, but I'm telling a story about something and
Speaker 4: I think I'm doing a great job explaining it, and
Speaker 4: I go into great detail and then I listen back
Speaker 4: to it and I'm like, wow, that's where he was
Speaker 4: twenty seconds long.
Speaker 3: It felt like I was talking for five hours. So
Speaker 3: I don't know. I need to get better at that,
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: But is that how long your vowls are going to be?
Speaker 3: Yeah? Five hours?
Speaker 2: No, twenty seconds?
Speaker 3: Yeah. Hey, I'm really happy to be here, Kaylen, I
Speaker 3: love you so much. Thank you for being here. By
Speaker 3: What about yours?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's on my to do list, just to refine them,
Speaker 2: finalize them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I still need to write mine down.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what's wearing me.
Speaker 3: Whatever. Why do you always have to worry about the
Speaker 3: things that I'm doing?
Speaker 2: That's what I am. I'm a worried please.
Speaker 4: Everything, everything is getting done that that needs to be done,
Speaker 4: and yet you're still worrying about it.
Speaker 2: Okay, unnecessarily, we've been very sassy this morning.
Speaker 3: I am cranky. I just woke up, okay and crank
Speaker 3: you crankster in the morning, so we get for having
Speaker 3: to record at seven in the morning.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, seven in the morning.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: You're in Vegas. Wait, what else do you guys still
Speaker 1: have to do. I mean, there's probably like everything's probably
Speaker 1: almost pretty much taken care of at this point.
Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty much. Dean had his bachelor party last weekend,
Speaker 2: and how'd that go?
Speaker 1: Well?
Speaker 2: When we were recording the podcast, he got like ten
Speaker 2: missed calls and it was about the bachelor party. Do
Speaker 2: you want to fill them in?
Speaker 3: Great bachelor party?
Speaker 4: While we're recording this podcast, If you recall, I stepped
Speaker 4: away right at the very end.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I held that because I had answered call.
Speaker 4: It was the houseboat rental company calling to tell us
Speaker 4: that the houseboat rental was no longer available to us,
Speaker 4: so we didn't have a houseboat for the weekend.
Speaker 3: And it was very frustrating.
Speaker 4: All my friends, not all of my friends, but most
Speaker 4: of my friends were already like kind of on their
Speaker 4: way down there. Some of them had already flown out,
Speaker 4: and they're already like in Vegas, ready to drive down,
Speaker 4: and yet we're getting calls three hours before we're supposed
Speaker 4: to check in for our houseboat saying that it's not
Speaker 4: available to us now.
Speaker 3: For the whole weekend.
Speaker 1: Did it sink?
Speaker 4: They were claiming there was high winds and the winds
Speaker 4: fractured the fuel tank and water got into the fuel tank,
Speaker 4: which just sounds like a loadablooney to me.
Speaker 1: And so when you bring your car to a dealership
Speaker 1: and they're like, yeah, there's a thing in the rudder,
Speaker 1: and then uh, in the axle pipe there's some exactly, uh,
Speaker 1: there's there's a person in there, so we got to
Speaker 1: pry him out.
Speaker 4: It sounds like you don't know what you're talking about
Speaker 4: with cars. And you bring it to mechanics and they're like, oh,
Speaker 4: you need to put in a turn signal fluid and
Speaker 4: do all this stuff, and it's just like, Okay, I
Speaker 4: feel like you're giving me the run round right now.
Speaker 4: So I want to go on record and say, if
Speaker 4: you're ever thinking about going to Lake Havasu, there's only
Speaker 4: one houseboat rental company, Lake CAVESU Houseboats.
Speaker 3: Just to avoid them, just to avoid them. They're the worst.
Speaker 3: I'm so mad. I'm not mad.
Speaker 4: It still turned out to be a great weekend, but
Speaker 4: the whole point of going there was to be on
Speaker 4: a houseboat for three to four days and they took
Speaker 4: that away from us, and it really makes me upset.
Speaker 4: So what we did was we just got a hotel
Speaker 4: room and we did like boat rentals like pontoon built
Speaker 4: rentals every single day, which is still fun. And I
Speaker 4: think everyone still had fun, but it just wasn't. It
Speaker 4: wasn't the experience that I was hoping to have. So yeah,
Speaker 4: so that was my experience and it was fun. But
Speaker 4: I'm happy it's over. I'm glad I never have to
Speaker 4: do it again.
Speaker 2: That's good.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you mean glad you never have to
Speaker 1: do it again.
Speaker 3: I'm glad I never have to have another bachelor party again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what did you guys do?
Speaker 2: Did you So?
Speaker 1: You just got rented pontoons and we just drank. To
Speaker 1: be honest, what is a punt in?
Speaker 4: It's like three big tanks on the bottom and then
Speaker 4: just like a big platform on top. It's not like
Speaker 4: a speedboat. It's just like a kind of a big
Speaker 4: social boat.
Speaker 1: Okay, So you guys went out there, had some you know, drink,
Speaker 1: some good.
Speaker 4: Laughs, sit some like cliff jump in, and some tubing
Speaker 4: and stuff, and like I said, it was good fun.
Speaker 4: We went to the casino every night. You know, most
Speaker 4: of us won money, which is always a pleasant experience.
Speaker 4: But it just have a sue is it's beautiful there,
Speaker 4: It's no Lake Powell. It seems to be more of
Speaker 4: like a party scene, and it just it's one of
Speaker 4: those places where once you go, and I don't want
Speaker 4: to offend anybody, but it's like, once you go there,
Speaker 4: you're you're never gonna go back, unless unless you're into
Speaker 4: that kind of thing. Unless that's like you live in
Speaker 4: Southwest US and you have a boat, and maybe that
Speaker 4: is like your vacation. But for me personally, I don't
Speaker 4: have any interest in going back to have too, and
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure none of them will be going back
Speaker 4: either there. But yeah, it was fun and exhausting, and
Speaker 4: like I said, Glad, I never have to go back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one and done.
Speaker 4: One and done unless you want to have like a
Speaker 4: ten year into the wedding into the marriage. Now unless
Speaker 4: you guys get married again, you know, Yeah, would you
Speaker 4: ever renew your vows, Jared now that you uh Er
Speaker 4: and Ashley just experienced love again.
Speaker 1: So Ashley and I talked about this because Ari and
Speaker 1: Lauren just renewed their vows. Ashley is not down for
Speaker 1: this idea because her whole thing is once you do
Speaker 1: your vows, it's supposed to be forever. So there's no
Speaker 1: point in saying it again or renewing your vows unless
Speaker 1: something bad happens and then you need to like be
Speaker 1: born again Christian just like us.
Speaker 3: I know we haven't even given our vows yet, but
Speaker 3: would you ever renew our vows?
Speaker 2: I don't know if I'm into the idea. Maybe like
Speaker 2: twenty years in, but in ten years it seems too soon.
Speaker 3: Ten years it's a long time.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 4: You're going to be thirty eight, yeah, but then you
Speaker 4: can start playing your fortieth birthday, yeah, which is pretty exciting.
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess, I don't know. I've never thought
Speaker 2: that's something that I'm super interested in, but we'll see.
Speaker 3: So how do you feel about Ari and Lauren renewing
Speaker 3: their vows? Well?
Speaker 2: How long have they been married?
Speaker 3: Maybe like four years? I have no idea, that's a guest.
Speaker 3: Maybe five.
Speaker 2: I mean, I think it's, you know, up to each
Speaker 2: individual couple, and maybe they wanted this to be more
Speaker 2: intimate or something. I don't know. I'm not It's again,
Speaker 2: we haven't even got married yet, smoth. That's why I'm like, nah,
Speaker 2: I'm good, because we haven't even given our vowels.
Speaker 3: Yet, right, Why would you think about renewing it.
Speaker 4: Why would you think about your next birthday when you
Speaker 4: haven't even had your first birthday.
Speaker 2: It's a thirtieth birthday is a big deal.
Speaker 3: No, No, I understand.
Speaker 2: Well, it's good about twenty nine.
Speaker 3: So many things. That's the last year of your twenties.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of good things about twenty nine.
Speaker 4: So you guys are not going to renew your vowse No,
Speaker 4: not going to readew the vows? Well what was Ashley's
Speaker 4: take on Arian Lauren doing it?
Speaker 1: Not that nothing bad. It was just like she's not
Speaker 1: going to do it. She doesn't because obviously I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: they didn't renew the vows? Would you ever do that?
Speaker 1: And you know, you know Ashley, she's so over the
Speaker 1: top dramatic. She's like, Jared, are you out of your mind?
Speaker 1: When we said those things? It was forever And I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: take it easy, psycho, So that, yeah, won't happen. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know if I'm down with renewing
Speaker 1: vows like whatever, because when you think about renewing vows
Speaker 1: or doing something all over again, it means something went awry, right,
Speaker 1: Like yoah, you have to do it. Again, or I
Speaker 1: guess what's the point of renewing vows is something bad
Speaker 1: doesn't happen, just to kind of like maybe spice things
Speaker 1: up again. Maybe just reconfess, reprofess, reprofess. I've already professed.
Speaker 1: What's up with reprofessing? It's already out in the universe.
Speaker 1: I've said everything.
Speaker 4: I mean, I agree with you guys. I don't really
Speaker 4: get it either, But every relationship is different.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Easton said some people do it just to have another wedding. Well,
Speaker 1: you know that's uh, that's crazy, that is crazy.
Speaker 2: Who wants to spend that money twice.
Speaker 1: I would spend that money twice what I guess I
Speaker 1: had yet, So we'll see. It was one of the
Speaker 1: best days of my life. Like I look back on
Speaker 1: it and a lot of people, but I don't think, oh,
Speaker 1: should we have spent the money? Should we not spend
Speaker 1: the money? I would never hesitate and we would do
Speaker 1: it all over again. Maybe not spend the money again.
Speaker 1: But if we could go back in time and they're like, hey,
Speaker 1: you don't have to spend this type of money, you
Speaker 1: don't have to have this wedding, be like, I don't care.
Speaker 1: Like every Penny, we spend I want to do it
Speaker 1: all over again.
Speaker 4: It's probably like a drug that once you do it,
Speaker 4: you'll never you'll spend the rest. If you want to
Speaker 4: chase that high again, you'll never reachieve the same amount
Speaker 4: of before that you felt that same day. You could
Speaker 4: have ten more weddings with Ashley and not a single
Speaker 4: one of them would equal how great the first one was.
Speaker 4: You know, it's like maybe getting close maybe, but it
Speaker 4: eventually it just gets less and less and less. That's
Speaker 4: how I would imagine at least maybe.
Speaker 1: And also how many people are going to your wedding Roughly.
Speaker 2: Seventy five seventy five.
Speaker 1: So about seventy five, right, those seventy five people for
Speaker 1: that night, I don't know like who staying or who's
Speaker 1: staying the weekend, who's not, But like that night, the
Speaker 1: night of your wedding, those seventy five people will never
Speaker 1: be in the same room ever again. When you think
Speaker 1: about that, and I think that's why I meant so
Speaker 1: much to Ashley, and I like the people that you're inviting.
Speaker 1: These seventy five people obviously mean something to you. They're
Speaker 1: important to you, and it was the same thing for us,
Speaker 1: Like I look back and those people that came to
Speaker 1: our wedding, they're important to me. I care about them
Speaker 1: a lot, and like they'll that will never happen. I'll
Speaker 1: never forget, I think, Dean. I don't know if it
Speaker 1: was I don't know if you were there, but it
Speaker 1: was the morning after our wedding, and I just have
Speaker 1: this vivid image. It was Nick, Ben and my dad
Speaker 1: and they were all talking in the hotel lobby before
Speaker 1: people were leaving, and I remember just thinking like these
Speaker 1: like Nick and Ben have been such an important part
Speaker 1: of my life, and obviously my dad is the most
Speaker 1: important part of my life besides you know, my mom my,
Speaker 1: you know Ashley and Dawson. But it's like they have
Speaker 1: never they literally just meant and they'll probably never see
Speaker 1: each other again, Like who knows, Like is my dad
Speaker 1: ever going to see Ben again? Is my dad ever
Speaker 1: going to see Nick again? Probably not? And so it's
Speaker 1: so weird to me that these people who are so
Speaker 1: impactful in my life just will never cross paths again.
Speaker 1: And so that's why I think that night was so
Speaker 1: special to us, because Ashley and I really tried to
Speaker 1: focus in on that and realize, like these collection of
Speaker 1: people that we've invited, that we've brought together that have
Speaker 1: been so impactful to us, are together under one roof
Speaker 1: and this will never happen again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's fair. We'll be together for your funeral.
Speaker 1: Well yeah, but well actually I'm hoping, like love my parents.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping my parents are not there at my funeral.
Speaker 3: Very fair. Yeah, and I'm sure they would say the
Speaker 3: same thing. Yeah, that's fair, at.
Speaker 1: Least I hope they would if they were, Like I
Speaker 1: kind of hope Jared gets knocked off before like dad, what, Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's a.
Speaker 4: Weird you never want out love your parents. And then
Speaker 4: Dylan got married that looked like looked extravagant.
Speaker 2: Very extravagant in Paris.
Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that?
Speaker 2: The location was awesome and beautiful? Yeah, what are your thoughts?
Speaker 3: It looked extravagant.
Speaker 2: It's it's funny because and the photos got released right
Speaker 2: after we've recorded this podcast last week, and Dean was
Speaker 2: talking about not wearing white tux, but Dylan wore white tux.
Speaker 3: He wore to like the reception or something like that,
Speaker 3: And it's funny.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's funny timing.
Speaker 4: I wasn't trying to talk down white tuxes. He looked
Speaker 4: great in his Yeah, he pulled it off, and he's
Speaker 4: a white tux guy. And I mean that with the
Speaker 4: most love. He looked he looked great. He just looked
Speaker 4: so good in it. But yeah, it looked extravagant. Ours
Speaker 4: will not be not nearly close to it was extravagant.
Speaker 4: Is that there was like fireworks. It was in like
Speaker 4: a mansion in France.
Speaker 1: I gotta know how much that month that that wedding.
Speaker 3: I can't even imagine the fire alone.
Speaker 1: It had to be a million dollars.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say that's probably close to what it was.
Speaker 1: Like anybody who's ever planned a wedding, which is probably
Speaker 1: a lot of people listening to this podcast, looking at
Speaker 1: that wedding, you're like, that's a million dollar wedding. How
Speaker 1: could you possibly get anything cheaper? Then, like, there's no
Speaker 1: way that's cheaper than a million dollars. What I just
Speaker 1: saw that firework, those fireworks, dude, that was more impressive
Speaker 1: than my town's fireworks at the Fourth of July. That
Speaker 1: was insanity. And so we're talking to Heather because Heather
Speaker 1: was at Courtney's wedding. She literally flew directly from France
Speaker 1: to Tahoe to go to the wedding, and she was
Speaker 1: saying that, like it wasn't even like that beautiful mansion
Speaker 1: that was in the background of everybody's photos, like that
Speaker 1: was a part of the wedding. You had to walk
Speaker 1: into the mansion and walk through it, and the ceremony
Speaker 1: was outside, but like you got to keep going in
Speaker 1: and out of that building, Like damn very expensive.
Speaker 4: Do you wish you could go on Joey's season of
Speaker 4: The Bachelor? Joey, he's the new Bachelor.
Speaker 2: No, because I'm engaged to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he's like a big tennis guy. Oh cool,
Speaker 3: and he's freaking cute.
Speaker 2: Heck, that's pretty cool that he's a tennis guy. Maybe
Speaker 2: he can give you some lessons.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so you can play, Yeah, but you can't flirt
Speaker 3: with them.
Speaker 2: Well, he'd be giving you lessons. How would I flirt
Speaker 2: with them?
Speaker 4: Because while he's giving me lessons and I'm like chasing
Speaker 4: the balls around, you could be like flirting with them.
Speaker 2: You're insane, Joey.
Speaker 3: You're so much better at tennis and team is he always.
Speaker 1: Just cranky in the morning.
Speaker 3: I don't know what is going on with him, I
Speaker 3: didn't sleep well last night.
Speaker 4: Alistair is the smallest dog here in a king sized
Speaker 4: bad He took the whole bad up. I've always been
Speaker 4: a morning cranky person.
Speaker 2: If he's real today, Oh my gosh, I don't even.
Speaker 3: Think that's true at all.
Speaker 2: It is true.
Speaker 4: No, I've always been a cranky morning person ever since
Speaker 4: the dawn of time. I think I'm doing a pretty
Speaker 4: good job of.
Speaker 3: Keeping it together.
Speaker 2: You're not.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't sleep three thousand miles away, and you probably.
Speaker 2: Can't tell that I'm cranky too.
Speaker 3: Oh, I can tell you, No, you can't.
Speaker 2: I have a reason to be cranky. I woke up.
Speaker 2: I've talked about my period too much on this podcast,
Speaker 2: but started my period and my cramps have been unbearable.
Speaker 2: So I woke up at three. I'm with just stabbing
Speaker 2: cramps and they haven't released.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Maybe that's why I didn't sleep well, because you were
Speaker 4: You and Alista were taking up the whole bed.
Speaker 1: No. Yeah, if there is a god, like, why did
Speaker 1: he was just decide to give women all the it's horrible, Like,
Speaker 1: why was he Like they're going to get periods, They're
Speaker 1: the ones who are gonna get pregnant. They're the ones
Speaker 1: who are gonna get ut as. They're the ones that
Speaker 1: I could have to deal with all.
Speaker 3: This because if guys like the way we possibly could,
Speaker 3: you guys would be extinct. We'd be extincted, be a
Speaker 3: world fully of females.
Speaker 1: Dude, I don't like I It's just a poor Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta be honest. I don't know. I just I
Speaker 1: feel I feel guilty a lot of times because like
Speaker 1: we talk about having the second kid right now, we
Speaker 1: have those conversations all the time. I'm like, Ashley, I
Speaker 1: am not the one who's gonna be pregnant, and I
Speaker 1: am the one who is hesitant about jumping into another
Speaker 1: kid because you know, we're I feel like we're in
Speaker 1: a good place now. I feel like every parent was
Speaker 1: like that though every parent listening is just it's so relatable.
Speaker 1: It's like, of course I want more kids. It's a
Speaker 1: gift to have kids. And I love having Dawson, and
Speaker 1: of course I want Duston and have a sibling. But dang,
Speaker 1: we gotta like just we get just jump back into
Speaker 1: it and be like, all right, we're not sleeping. We
Speaker 1: just got to like just power through. Dude, A buddy
Speaker 1: of mine right now, his daughter's sleep regressing. He hasn't
Speaker 1: slept in three months. It's three months. He's like, dude,
Speaker 1: I get three hours of sleep and it's been three
Speaker 1: months straight of this, and I'm like, I've been there,
Speaker 1: like I know, I know exactly what we're talking about.
Speaker 1: And if we have another kid like Dawson, we're just
Speaker 1: voluntarily jumping back into this and it's terrifying. And then
Speaker 1: Ashley poor ash like, oh my god, you have to
Speaker 1: put on all that weight. Your body just transforms and
Speaker 1: then you're just constantly either sick or feel like you're
Speaker 1: going to be sick, or you're uncomfortable. And I'm like, Dan,
Speaker 1: you got just good you know, isolute? You? I got
Speaker 1: nothing else? Just I'll get you McDonald's. I'll get it
Speaker 1: whatever you need.
Speaker 4: I feel like it's one of those things whenever I'm
Speaker 4: about to do something, like when like I just jumped
Speaker 4: off the cliff and have a suit, or if you're
Speaker 4: skydiving or something, you're like afraid to do it, but
Speaker 4: then the second you know you're jumping, you're like, all right,
Speaker 4: we're doing it, and you just have to like figure
Speaker 4: out a way to him to get through it. And
Speaker 4: then you get through it and it's maybe not as
Speaker 4: bad as you expected it to be. But it's just
Speaker 4: like when you're it's never on that side though, it's
Speaker 4: like hard to hard to rationalize what the experience is
Speaker 4: going to.
Speaker 1: Be, Like, yeah, you just make it work. You're in
Speaker 1: survival mode at that point.
Speaker 3: And it's like you don't really have a choice.
Speaker 4: You're you're already in the air, or you've already had
Speaker 4: the baby, so's or you're having a baby. So it's like, well, there,
Speaker 4: you have no other choice but to make the best
Speaker 4: of it.
Speaker 3: I guess, yeah, I am.
Speaker 2: I'm not excited to be pregnant. Yeah, so I'm just
Speaker 2: going to hold out as long as I can. No,
Speaker 2: I do want to be pregnant.
Speaker 1: I wish I could get pregnant, I will say. I
Speaker 1: will say now that Ashley, of course weird to say
Speaker 1: this knows Dawson. She looks back upon that time and
Speaker 1: thinks like, Wow, that was Dawson, the thing that I
Speaker 1: love more than anything in this world growing inside me,
Speaker 1: and that makes it all worth it for her. When
Speaker 1: she thinks about it that way, she's like, I, you know,
Speaker 1: of course I want to do that again because I
Speaker 1: want whatever kid I have, if I have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to carry that child, like, I want that experience to
Speaker 1: know that like while that like Dawson, the kid that
Speaker 1: we see running around that says Mama and dadda and
Speaker 1: is forming this personality and is so loving, that was
Speaker 1: in my belly like that thing. So that is obviously
Speaker 1: incredible to think about and I totally understand. And as
Speaker 1: Dean said, you know, he wants to get pregnant experience
Speaker 1: that I wish.
Speaker 4: I wish I could be pregnant there. It's amazing that
Speaker 4: you girls get to experience that. It's like literally the
Speaker 4: basis of human life and you get a contribute to that,
Speaker 4: carry this child nine months and then birth it out.
Speaker 4: That's like a that's like for someone that enjoys adrenaline stuff, like,
Speaker 4: I don't think I'll ever be able to match the
Speaker 4: amount of adrenaline girls feel when they're having a baby,
Speaker 4: because it's just there's so much.
Speaker 3: It's just so cool.
Speaker 4: It's very cool, and yes, it's there's a lot of
Speaker 4: challenges that come along with it, but it's something that
Speaker 4: you'll never be able to replicate that experience with any
Speaker 4: other thing in the entire world, and I'm just I'm
Speaker 4: a little envious. Of course, of course I'm not envious
Speaker 4: of the morning sickness and the pains and the weight
Speaker 4: gain and all that stuff. But still it's something I'll
Speaker 4: never get to experience, which maybe makes makes me want
Speaker 4: it a little bit more interesting. Yeah, okay, yeah, so
Speaker 4: I guess we should maybe call it the huh, yeah.
Speaker 2: We should call it?
Speaker 3: Will you call it for us?
Speaker 2: You call it? I call it every week?
Speaker 3: Now you do not call it every week. It's been
Speaker 3: a lot of me and Jared on this podcast. We
Speaker 3: need you to at least call it for us.
