Welcome And Theme: Celebrity Weddings

SPEAKER_01

Hey Queens, it's healthy in Greece with the Wedding Hive Hive.

SPEAKER_00

Giving you the tea and all the clothes in the wedding world. Let's jump right in.

Reality TV Obsessions And Favorites

SPEAKER_01

Hey Queens, welcome to today's episode of the Wedding Hive Podcast. Today we are taking a break from wedding planning and going through all of the details and timelines. We want to take a break from seating charts and budgets so we can talk about something fun, and that is celebrity weddings and reality TV. Yes. Yes.

SPEAKER_00

I honestly could sit and watch reality TV all day. I love it.

SPEAKER_01

What's like your favorite reality TV show?

SPEAKER_00

Dang, that's a good one. Um, I mean, obviously Kardashians is the OG. I've been watching it that like with my mom since I was little. Um, but I do love uh Real Housewives at Orange County, um, Secret Lives and Warren Wives. I just love it.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Do you watch Selling Sunset?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yes, Selling Sunset. Yeah, I just love all that kind of stuff because it's just like I don't have that kind of type of drama in my life. So I just love to see it through other people. I'm like, ooh, and I just love the tea and I just eat, I just eat it up.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Yeah, it's my go-to. So well, how about you start us off? Um, I have no idea what's on your note card. I know. We're just we're just gonna go.

Short Marriages: Kardashians To Britney

SPEAKER_00

It's gonna be a fun episode and we're just gonna talk celebrity weddings, we're gonna talk dating shows from Love is Blind, Perfect Match, and the OG wedding TV shows, which I'm excited to get into. Because I grew up on those. So we're gonna first talk about celebrity weddings, um, short-lived marriages. I think the one that a lot of people think of is Kim Kardashian and Chris Humphreys.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Do you remember how long? I have it written down, but do you remember how long their wedding was? It was like their like days ago.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, yes, their marriage. Their marriage didn't it didn't even last three months. Like nine weeks, 72 days. Yeah, that sounds right. Well, and you even saw on the show they were very uh they were like on the clouds and dating, and then they're like nobody brought them down to Earth. Oh, yeah, at any point until day 72.

SPEAKER_00

When they're like shit, actually, I don't think this is gonna work because he was a football player. Am I correct?

SPEAKER_01

Maybe.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know. I know he was some type of athlete.

SPEAKER_01

Was he a basketball player?

SPEAKER_00

Oh, was he?

SPEAKER_01

I thought they were more into basketball players.

SPEAKER_00

I know. Okay, wait, we have to pause really quick. Did you see Kendall Jenner's? Yes, dude. Whoever made that commercial, I hope you got the fattest raise of your life because that was the fan duel or it's a sports books or whatever. One of the online betting that I literally was featured. I said, This is the best commercial I've seen in years. Yep. It was funny. It was because you know the backstory of her dating and the Kardashian curse, and which is also what people talk about with Kim Kardashian, Chris Humphreys, that they all of the girls marry these guys and then they get divorced, and then they have terrible seasons playing. And I think at the end of the day, like just play better. Yeah. And it's crazy because I did actually really like Kendall Jenner with Devin Booker. I thought they were a cute couple. You know, obviously we're an AZ, he's on the Suns, so but that commercial was so good.

SPEAKER_01

That commercial cracked me up. I know.

SPEAKER_00

I showed my husband and he was like, oh, that's kind of rude. And I'm like, shut up. I was like, this is for the girlies, and it's iconic. So I loved it. Yep. I do too. So yeah, the Kardashians, of course. Um also, I read this, I had to do a little bit of research. Britney Spears and Jason Alexander, which I guess was, I think, a childhood friend of hers, um, in Vegas, and it got annulled in 55 hours.

SPEAKER_01

Wow.

SPEAKER_00

Isn't that crazy?

SPEAKER_01

That's not the father of her kids.

SPEAKER_00

Is it?

SPEAKER_01

I don't think so.

SPEAKER_00

I don't think so, right? No.

SPEAKER_01

No. I still think that she and like Justin Timberlake in my like childhood dreams, like J would have been so good.

SPEAKER_00

Oh my gosh.

SPEAKER_01

But she's kind of gone off the deep end. I know, I don't know. She's happily married. I know he's had some mistakes in the down the road. Um, so it's probably better that they didn't end up together because that would have been an epic train wreck.

SPEAKER_00

I know. I do, I do think they were cute. I feel like a lot of people do the their iconic gene. I was, I think there were like an MTV awards or something they went to back in the 2000s. The all denim. It's just, it's iconic, and I love that. So um, okay, next one is okay. Do I love Pamela Anderson? I think she's a baddie. Do you know how many times that she's been married? Oh, I was actually kind of shocked.

SPEAKER_01

Like actually married? Yeah, like because I know she's had a lot of boyfriends.

SPEAKER_00

No, yeah, I know she's been like in the dating. You're like, she's the um OG Taylor Swift, but yeah, no, actually married.

SPEAKER_01

Once?

SPEAKER_00

No, six times.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my oh boy, okay.

SPEAKER_00

That's just crazy to me. Six times. I can't even imagine liking six different people like that, like on that level to like get to the commitment of marriage.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Six times. Okay. I you know what? I uh think very highly of her in the season of life that she is and the healing that she has done. Mind, body, spirit. She is in a good place. Yeah, she's and she seems to be really happy and she has found her peace, and and I'm I'm happy for her in that. Didn't know it takes six marriages, but you know part of her journey.

SPEAKER_00

You know, it just takes a few to get there.

The Beckham Wedding Drama

SPEAKER_01

Talk. I mean, if you need any help filing divorce paperwork, just call our girl Peter. I know she's probably got a good ass lady. Professional, she knows every uh page in that divorce file and how to- He's like, I know from beginning to end, I know all the sections where you miss signatures or the initials, she's got you.

SPEAKER_00

I love that. Um, okay, so this isn't so much, well, it is kind of a celebrity wedding, but I want to talk about have you seen the whole drama surrounding the Beckham family with um their oldest son? Um why am I blinking on his name? Uh Brooklyn Beckham. I don't know why it's such a cheat in my mind. I know.

SPEAKER_01

No, I I don't. In my head, Victoria and David's children are still like five years old. Two and seven. Like the fact that they are grown up and at the age of getting married and starting their own families is so weird to me because they're still like itty bitty in my head. But no, tell me about the drama.

SPEAKER_00

So basically, what had happened is there's been speculations over the years of drama between him and his wife and the family. And he finally went to Instagram and spilt all the tea.

SPEAKER_01

Not the gram.

SPEAKER_00

I know. I think that's when you know shit is real. Like he went to the Instagram stories to, you know, basically say his piece and that there's been issues for years and they don't respect him and his wife, and I that all they care about is their money and their fame and image. And I think it's it sounded really sad from his point of view, like the way that they were treating him and just the weird situation that went down at their wedding, which is apparently he was on the dance floor. The MC DJ, whoever said, you know, can I have the most beautiful woman in the room tonight come on to the floor to, you know, be with Brooklyn? Which indicates the bride. Which indicates the bride. It's your wedding day. And Victoria went up. Stop. Yeah. So he explained that story.

SPEAKER_01

But did Victoria sit back down?

SPEAKER_00

No, she went up and had a dance with him, and apparently it was very, he felt uncomfortable, it was inappropriate. And there was a guest who's at the wedding who actually went on a talk show and spoke about the situation, basically confirming and backing up his story that he had posted about, saying this was true. It was very awkward for everyone there. Like it sh if anyone should have been up there, it should have been their bride. You know, the most beautiful woman is gonna be their bride on the day of, and he just said the dance was really weird, and so it's like he just exposed everything. That is so sad. I know, yeah. And apparently, too, she was supposed to make her wedding dress and then kind of bailed dropped out like Mickey, because obviously she's a designer a few days before the wedding, so then she had to scramble and find a different dress. And who plans their dress like three days before their wedding? I I really don't know, or maybe she thought that the dress was coming. I don't know. I don't know how their schedules and stuff like that work, or what was even the real, you know, nitty-gritty details, but he also talked about that too in his Instagram stories.

SPEAKER_01

That's so sad. I know. It may be sad for them. Yes, like I have sons and love them, obviously, and I love being a mom, but I do not plan on like when my sons get married and they start their lives. I don't, I don't want to be that mother-in-law.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, she's definitely giving one of those like my sons, my one in the like the creepy, like yes, possessive.

SPEAKER_01

And I'm not surprised about the image comment. Oh, I remember something, I think they had a TV show and it aired for a very short period of time. The Bentley or the Rolls Royce, is that what you're talking about? And she was freaking out because she got pulled over, but she was in flats and not heels. Okay. And so she left the house in like flip-flops, like flats shoes. Okay. And she had to get out of the vehicle, and she's like, I don't have my heels on. I can't be seen without heels on. And she's like arguing with the officer, like, I can't get out.

SPEAKER_00

I have flats on.

SPEAKER_01

And the officer's like, I don't care what shoes you have on.

SPEAKER_00

The girl, a baby girl, get out of the car.

SPEAKER_01

Get out of the car.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And I remember seeing that as like a teenager, and I was like, is that when you like become an adult? Does that like make you a woman? And now I'm at the age where I'm like, you have to like pay me to put heels on.

SPEAKER_00

Literally, I hate wearing heels. I'm already tall and they're hurt and they're uncomfortable.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Dang. That's two. I don't know if they, I think they were doing maybe like an architectural digest like piece, you know, how they always interview the celebrities and come to their houses. And it was funny because David Beckham called her out. She was like, Yeah, I grew up very almost kind of saying like humble, like blah, blah, blah. And he looks at her and he said, What did your dad used to pick you up from school in? And she's like, uh, none. And he said, No. She's like, a Rolls Royce. So she's like trying to downplay, like, oh my God, I grew up so humble and now I'm like famous and have money. And he's like, No, you didn't.

SPEAKER_01

You're like people know where you can put it. The lower and middle class don't drive Rolls Royces.

SPEAKER_00

We we drive a Honda Civic. Correct.

SPEAKER_01

Correct.

SPEAKER_00

But yeah, so I'm not surprised about like all of that because just I feel like little inklings here and there things that it's not giving a good vibe.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So that's sad.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Well, I hope um Brooklyn, yes, Beckham.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And his wife, happiness and protect your peace, baby. Yeah, set those boundaries.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. So I love that for them.

Weddings That Never Happened

SPEAKER_01

Um, all right, let's talk about weddings that never happened. Um, so our air Ariana Grande and Pete Davison. Do you have any tier knowledge on that relationship? All I know is Ariana made that song, Thank You Next.

SPEAKER_00

Yes.

SPEAKER_01

And Pete's name is dropped in it.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, yeah. Other than that. Oh my gosh, that song came out so long ago. So they dated so long ago.

SPEAKER_01

That was a really long time ago.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, now that I think about it, because I remember when the music video dropped, because um they did what? Like a mean girls theme and Chris Jenner was in it.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

So that's your homework. Go watch the music video. It's really cute. It's like, you know, a play on mean girls and stuff. And when they're doing the Christmas dance and the mom's like in the middle, like of the stop doing it. So it was funny. She had like a cameo in it. Um, they were cute. Um, I don't know, she's had so many different boyfriends.

SPEAKER_01

Or love interests.

SPEAKER_00

Um, or just yeah, like love interests. Obviously, she's been in was engaged before, broke it off, and then now she's been with the Spongebob SquarePants from from Wicked. The girl?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

I can't figure that relationship out.

SPEAKER_01

So I'm so confused of what's happening.

SPEAKER_00

This is the quick backstory. So in Wicked, there's the Munchkin, is that's his role, and his name is Bach, and she's dating him in real life. So the whole drama a few years ago was he was um on Broadway, like they had a Broadway musical, SpongeBob SquarePants, and he played Spongebob. So people would always joke, why is she leaving her gorgeous fiance for Spongebob?

SPEAKER_01

Maybe he has a better personality.

SPEAKER_00

I guess so. I guess sometimes personality matters, but so I always joke, I'm like, why are you dating Spongebob? But um, and then he it was all the drama. I didn't, I don't know. I can't believe we didn't like know this, but um, he left his wife and he has a kid to be with Ariana Grande.

SPEAKER_01

And so he sounds like a real Yeah, I don't think it's yeah, see, I it can't be the personality because it's not the personality he has poor judgment.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, so that was the whole like debacle about that. And I mean they're still together, so and that was like years ago, but yeah, so her, but back to that, Pete her and Pete Davidson, they were cute. I thought they were gonna last, but and he also dated Kim Kardashian.

SPEAKER_01

I remember that. I remember and he just had a baby.

SPEAKER_00

He did, yes, he has a baby now. I don't know who he's with, but it's some some random. Yeah, I don't know. Sorry.

SPEAKER_01

Sorry, I don't know who you if if you don't know, I definitely don't know because I am not up into the pop culture, not one bit. Yeah. Um, this one is another one, a wedding that never happened. Jennifer Lopez and Alex Rodriguez.

SPEAKER_00

I liked them. I thought they were cute.

SPEAKER_01

He's a baseball player.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, baseball player. They were together for a minute.

SPEAKER_01

I respectfully think Jennifer Lopez does not have it together when it comes to really I don't know what the issue is. She's gotta go, but she's probably been married just as many times as Pamela Anderson.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, true.

SPEAKER_01

Um, her and Ben Afflack tried it twice. Like, I don't like I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And then she was with Mark Anthony, they had Kit, they had the twins. Yes. I don't know. Correct. I can't figure it out. But maybe do some like personal soul searching, get a counselor, and then do some like healing before jumping into your next relationship.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I feel like a little badly's like one of those, like I'm just gonna say, one of those celebrities who's just like so out of touch and thinks she's the boss of all bosses and no one can touch her and she's perfect and does no wrong. And I feel like that's why her relationships fail.

SPEAKER_01

Loki, I am jealous because she's so much older than us, and her skincare is on point. Like that woman never ages.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that's what happens when you're a millionaire.

SPEAKER_01

I'm just gonna be.

SPEAKER_00

I would be looking like I wouldn't, I would be if I had if I had her money, I'd be looking like I was freaking 20 years old still.

SPEAKER_01

So I'm just saying, yeah, it's annoying.

SPEAKER_00

It is annoying. Does the rest of us age like normal people and her just seeing celebrities though that don't do stuff and actually look like a normal person?

SPEAKER_01

Okay, so speaking of that, did you see Cameron Diaz went on because she is she's calling it like aging gracefully. Okay, and so she's not doing any botox or she's just doing like normal skincare. Yeah. And so she had an interview and she said, I would rather look in the mirror and see myself aging than look in the mirror and not recognize my own face. So Cameron Diaz is aging. She's the queen beautifully.

SPEAKER_00

I love that for her.

SPEAKER_01

So those are all I have for the weddings that never happened. Okay, beautiful.

Triangles: Bieber, Aniston, And Swift

SPEAKER_00

Um, okay, let's talk about celebrities, exes, overlapping, and love triangles. Um, so I think one of the biggest ones is gonna be Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and Haley Bieber.

SPEAKER_01

That's definitely your department.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think I don't know. I feel like the beef was crazy for so long, and I feel like they finally squashed it. She's with Benny Blanco, they're married. Justin's been married to Haley for years, so but I feel like that was like a lot of tea though for a while. It was just like crazy, and people were going after Haley and saying, Well, I actually stopped. There is literally this TikTok account that made like a like 50-part series of how Hayley Bieber basically like set herself up since she was like a teenager to like end up marrying Justin Bieber, and it was like kind of like crazy.

SPEAKER_01

I felt like the Is this like a conspiracy theory? Because I don't know if I can handle one more conspiracy in 2026. Like, I'm broken.

SPEAKER_00

You could say that, but I don't know. The facts they were spitting were like, because she's a Nepo baby. A what? A Nepo baby? What does that mean? Like nepism, like a Nepo baby? But it what you don't know what a Nepo baby is? Like you grow, like Nepo babies are people who grow from money. Like Blake Lively is a Nepo baby. Her her parents are both in the film, and like um so she was born just to she was born on the rich.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, that's a trust fund baby.

SPEAKER_00

No, that's no. A Nepo baby is like for celebrities. Like, say, like who much like David Beckham? All of his kids are Nepo babies because he's rich and they got born into that lifestyle.

SPEAKER_01

That's what they call it? Yes. Okay. Never heard of that? No.

unknown

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

It sounds like a disease. Probably is. I would. If somebody was like, oh yeah, they're a Nepo baby, I'd be like, oh my gosh, what does their health care look like? What medications do they need?

SPEAKER_00

Like no, that's what that's a Nepo baby. Look it up, I swear.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. Is that an urban dictionary? I don't know. Or is it in the Webster? I don't know.

SPEAKER_00

It's on Wikipedia. No, but it's a legit thing. I swear. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

All right. I believe you. Keep you can keep going.

SPEAKER_00

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

You're hurting my brain.

SPEAKER_00

I'm just spit in new words on you today. Um, okay.

SPEAKER_01

Definition.

SPEAKER_00

Yes. Definition. We're gonna have a are you smarter than a fifth grader one episode and just honestly, I'd be so embarrassed. I'd be so bad. Yeah. I I wouldn't know anything. I'm just gonna like roast myself now. I'd be like, um, okay. Next one is gonna be Brad Pitt, Jennifer Aniston, and Angelina Jolie.

SPEAKER_01

That one is good. Okay.

SPEAKER_00

I don't know as much as that.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my gosh. Okay, so from what I recall, because Jennifer er, wait, wait, wait. Jennifer Aniston was married to Brad Pitt, and they were, yes, they were married, but then Brad Pitt did Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Angelina Jolie. And that's where like their love connection started. So he ended up leaving Jennifer.

SPEAKER_00

No affair, right? He just they're I'm pretty sure.

SPEAKER_01

Okay, they just ended up.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, there was?

SPEAKER_01

I'm pretty sure, yes. Like they, and then he went off, and him and Angelina had like adopted all these kids. They had a few years. Oh, yeah, they have a bunch of kids. Like they have like nine kids or something, and then they ended up separating.

SPEAKER_00

That's so crazy.

SPEAKER_01

But that was definitely the T of like I want to say, like oh eight to say yeah, or 12. Like it was kind of in that 2010s era.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. I still can't believe Jennifer Anderson isn't married though. Like now, obviously. Yeah. Like I feel like she's just a dime.

SPEAKER_01

I know.

SPEAKER_00

And I love her.

SPEAKER_01

She's an amazing one.

SPEAKER_00

She's the one, she's one, I forget. I think she did a commercial with Jason Bateman, and it was on my Instagram feed, and she is looking like one of those celebrities that actually is just aging gracefully, doesn't have all the Botox and the filler and da da da da. And she's giving gorgeous, gorgeous girl.

SPEAKER_01

I love that for her.

SPEAKER_00

I love her. Okay, last one is gonna be this isn't really a love triangle, but Taylor Swift. I Googled this. How many boyfriends before she finally found Travis Kelsey?

SPEAKER_01

Um you think she's had? 27.

SPEAKER_00

Oh I kind of want 27 boyfriends.

unknown

I don't.

SPEAKER_00

I've actually had like, besides my husband, one serious boyfriend. Okay, but she's had 14.

SPEAKER_01

I still think it's 27. I still think it's 27.

SPEAKER_00

Honestly, I do think that too. Like, I'm trying to think. Those are the ones that she made that Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor, Lautner, Harry Styles.

SPEAKER_01

I don't care enough about her to I don't either, but but all of her platinum hits, those were part of those 14 boyfriends. Yeah. And the songs that never got released are about the other 13 boyfriends that aren't listed.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, that's fair. Yeah, she's had I can't, oh my god. 14 series boyfriends. 14 series boyfriends. I don't know about serious, but okay.

SPEAKER_01

So when I talk to people about venue searching, because this is just reminds Me of it. And I ask them how many venues they've looked for, you know, or are looking at in total. They say, you know, usually between four and eight is like the healthy number, like the happy number. I've looked at between four and eight venues. I have an idea of what I'm looking for. Yeah. Like first one, one and done. Unless you absolutely fall in love with the venue and you know that's the one you want to get married at, cool. Don't look at any other ones. But when people tell me that they look at 14, 15, 16, 17 venues, I ask, like, what aren't you finding? Or what are we looking for there? How much money have you spent on gas and time and energy? Because what you're looking for out there might not exist.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, your expectations are too high.

SPEAKER_01

However, Taylor Swift figured it out on number 15. Oh. So maybe she has something going on.

SPEAKER_00

Well, actually, it's crazy. I'm surprised. I don't know. I'm really not a Swifty. I don't, I'm, I'm like indifferent. I don't hate her. I don't like love her. You know, she's whatever. But her lucky number is 13. So I'm surprised she didn't find that number at 13.

Royal Weddings And Why They Captivate

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. So um, let's go into some royal weddings. Ah, okay. So I love those. Diana and Prince Charles. We've talked about it here on the podcast before. Love us, Princess Diana. We love everything about her. She's the queen. She's beauty and she's grace. I am convinced that she was killed off by the royal family. Oh, a thousand percent. She loved her children. She loved her community. She loved people. She was too good for the royal family. The royal family did not deserve her heart. So that's Diana and Prince Charles. And yes, I will die on that hill because Me too.

SPEAKER_00

I'm there with you.

SPEAKER_01

She was a genuine soul. It's just a sketch. The whole thing. So let's talk about her offspring. So Prince Harry and Megan Markle.

SPEAKER_00

So I think I definitely I feel like I definitely watched their wedding. I wouldn't say I watched the whole thing. And then I also watched his older brother. Yeah. Prince Hare. I don't know. I'm about to.

SPEAKER_01

No. I don't remember.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because him and they got married first. Correct.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. And then I don't know why this just popped into my head. I remember there was like a big scandal about what her sister wore to their wedding. Like it was too sexy. Do you remember that?

SPEAKER_01

Yes, I do.

SPEAKER_00

Okay. And I was like, no, she's just girl got a banging body. Like, like what? Like sue her? Like, what do you mean?

SPEAKER_01

Like she wasn't modest enough. Yeah, exactly. I think my favorite part about royal weddings is one, they don't happen that often. But two, because of where we're located in the United States and these take place in Europe. Um, or like in England.

SPEAKER_00

What? I just remembered I went to Buckingham Palace.

SPEAKER_01

Oh my God, I thought there was a bug.

SPEAKER_00

No, sorry.

SPEAKER_01

There's a bug. No, I'm just kidding. Okay. Anyway. There's a flashback. Sorry. The cool thing is it when we watch their weddings, we have to watch them at like three o'clock in the morning.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Because of the time zone. So we have to like wake up in the middle of the night just to watch the royal wedding. Yeah. And then go back to sleep. Yeah. So, but they're worth it. Um, I'm happy for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for cutting ties from the royal family and having a good life with their babe.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, I think protecting their peace. Yeah. They went, they went to Shrekland far, far away. They said, actually, we out of this, okay? I don't want to be a part of that. So, yeah. Um, okay, next we'll talk about extravagant versus secret celebrity wedding. So, obviously, a few big ones. Kim and Kanye's wedding was extravagant and ginormous. I forget. I think they got married in.

SPEAKER_01

They got married in Italy.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, because that's the whole you know the drama with Kim and Courtney.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I got married in Italy.

SPEAKER_01

So the other one couldn't get married in Italy.

SPEAKER_00

No, because she got mad because she did a can her something about Balenciaga, she was upset about with like Kim doing a campaign or something. And then she was like, and then Kim was like, Well, I didn't care that I got married in Italy, and then you went and got married in Italy, and then she's like favorite artists is Andrea Bocelli, and she had him play at their wedding, and then so did Courtney.

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

That whole drama. So she was like, Why are you gonna be able to do that?

SPEAKER_01

I think everybody needs to get over themselves.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Like you all need to speak to the city. We need to put people in time out.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, literally, you guys need to like literally go out to the remote for five minutes. I was listening to Chloe Kardashian's podcast, and she just had Kim on, and it was just rapid fire questions at the end. And she said, When was the last time you went to a grocery store? This bitch said 15 years ago. 15 years. That's wrong. You have not been to a grocery store. That is insane to me. Like, I get the caliber of like fame that they're at, but like they have security. Like, I feel like too, like, I loved going to the grocery store with like my mom and stuff, and like getting snacks for school and doing that kind of part, but it's I was just mind blown that she hadn't been to the grocery store in that long.

SPEAKER_01

What a wild life.

SPEAKER_00

I know. I feel like that's like dystopian or something.

SPEAKER_01

Like, how do you not know what a grocery? I don't know. I don't know. It's changed so much. She'd probably walk in and be like, Why are all the cereal boxes new labeled? Oh, yeah. Because they look so I don't know, like oh, a hundred.

SPEAKER_00

I'm sure they have private chefs for like everything. So they don't need that shit. Um, okay. Next one was Nick Jonas and Priyanka. They had a big blowout wedding. Obviously, she is don't quote me. She's like, she's just Indian, right? Or she had a three-day Indian like wedding. Yes. And I thought it looked like I would honestly, I hope before I die, I can go to an Indian wedding. They just seem elaborate and beautiful, and I love all the tradition. And so I would love to go to one of those. Um, but let's talk about the low-key weddings. Beyonce and Jay-Z had a low-key wedding, which I do you know any of uh like obviously it was low-key, but I don't know anything about their wedding. Okay, right. I was like, I don't think they kept it hush hush. Um, and then Blake Ryan or Blake Ryan, Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds also had a small wedding, um, which I think is good too, because obviously social media is like so big and seeing these extravagant weddings, I think it can help with us normal people. Yes, feeling okay to have small, intimate micro weddings. Yeah. So I think I kind of like that some celebrities do that to bring us down to earth.

SPEAKER_01

Normalize little intimate gatherings, exactly.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. So, and we were talking a little bit about this. How do you feel about the whole drama with Blake and Justin Baldone?

SPEAKER_01

Um, I think that Blake is in the wrong and like crazy Baldoney.

SPEAKER_00

I love him. Have you seen um Jane the Virgin? No.

unknown

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01

So all I know is I saw the movie.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Like I saw, what was it? It ends with us.

SPEAKER_00

Yes, correct. So it ends with us.

SPEAKER_01

Then got up to speed, watched the interviews with Justin, and um Ryan was coming in and doing some of the interviews as like the husband. I don't know. I don't think that Justin is at fault. I've listened, I've listened to some of the audio of like the voicemails, and I think that their rel I I truly think that their relationship started off super friendly and as friends and boundaries might have been crossed, and she's trying to protect her marriage and freaked out and wants to claim that it wasn't that and point the blame at him to protect her own ass. And because I agree, I think she developed feelings for Justin and isn't willing to admit it.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And so she's playing the victim card to save her own marriage.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I think too, she's one of those people, again, Neppo baby, that she's been handed everything. She's always gotten whatever she wants and potentially maybe had feelings for him. And he's obviously married, and she'll probably like, whoa. So maybe she felt rejection and then tried to twist the narrative and make it sound like obviously turning into this whole debacle of going to court and saying sexual rations claim, which I think is insane to like do. I'm not saying she's wrong, or maybe it did happen. I don't know. But I love Justin Maldoni. Jane the Virgin is actually my favorite TV show to ever exist, and he's one of the main characters. And I don't know, he just seems so sweet and genuine, and I just feel like it's it's power. I can't with her. Yeah. I know it's like a power trip, and she's trying to bring someone down, and it's like, girl, just go live your life in your mansion with your husband and your like five kids. Just correct. Go live your life, leave him alone.

SPEAKER_01

And so here's my so I'll tell you really quick, and then we'll get on to the next one so we can wrap this episode up. There's a voicemail, so he tried or Blake tried on outfits, dresses for It Ends With Us and sent pictures to Justin. So Justin sent a voice memo back and he said, Hey Blake, thank you so much for sending those over. Sorry, I've been in meetings. Wow, those work perfect. You look absolutely beautiful. I think they're gonna work great.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

And that is part of her claim to sexual harassment. And I was thinking, what other way would you be like your business? What way would you respond? Yeah, yes, this works for what we're going for. You look beautiful. There is nothing wrong with that. No, yeah. And if we want to put start pointing the finger, why are you sending him pictures? Yeah. You're going to get a reaction or a response. If you're that uncomfortable, don't send pictures. Yeah. If you sound so confusing to me that because his response was so, and it wasn't inappropriate, it wasn't crossing a boundary. It works for what we're going for. I think cool. Yes, you look beautiful. Period. I tell brides all the time on wedding day, you look absolutely beautiful. When grooms come out, I go, Oh my gosh, you look so handsome. Or that you look amazing in that suit. That's not sexual harassment. I'm not harassing the groom. I'm just saying you look very handsome. You're dressed up. You look so nice. I'm excited for your day. Yeah. And it's not miscontrune. So I'm excited to see how this court hearing falls through because that ticks me off. So um, all right, you want to go through one more point?

Blake Lively And Justin Baldoni Controversy

SPEAKER_00

Uh yeah, let's talk about some modern dating shows. Perfect, go. Okay. So obviously The Bachelorette is coming out with Taylor Preggy uh Frankie Paul from Mormon Wives. How do we feel about that?

SPEAKER_01

I am a let's see. I sounds like a train wreck. Me too.

SPEAKER_00

Loki. I love her, but yeah, she's anything to keep the bachelor going, I guess. I know. And I've never watched it, so maybe this will be my first time I'll watch it.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_00

Um, do you watch Love Island? How do you feel about that dating show?

SPEAKER_01

Um, yeah, we actually have gotten into Love Island. It was really fun during like the pandemic because it wasn't, it was, it was different than what it is now. I feel like they're starting to overly sexualize it now than what some of the previous seasons are, but it's fun. It's good trash TV for the summertime, especially here in Arizona. Um, you know, we spend the whole day at the pool and it's freaking hot. And so we go home and turn on Love Island and I love that. Refreshing, I guess. I that one's good.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah. Um, and have you ever seen Perfect Match?

SPEAKER_01

No.

SPEAKER_00

It's actually one of my favorite ones. I think they're about to be in their third season, but they basically took all of these um singles from other dating shows where it didn't work out for them, and then they put them together. Okay. And they have to like couple up each night. And if you don't couple up, then you get booed out of the house, but then you can get brat like brought back in because there's like a game, you know, room, and then it's it's actually really good. Okay. Yeah, it's like kind of nice because you don't like I know some of the people from like Love is Blind and stuff, but like I don't watch all other dating shows, so it's like good to see like new characters.

SPEAKER_01

Okay. So on that note, um, there are also reality or sh shows that are marriage focused. So Married at First Sight. I haven't seen that one, but I want to watch it. I we watched one season of Married at First Sight, and the couple is still together to this day. I actually follow her on social media. They have two sons, they are genuinely the best match ever. They're amazing humans. All the rest of them fall apart, they don't work, there's so many issues. But um, the ultimatum, Marry or Move On. Have you seen that one?

SPEAKER_00

No, I haven't.

SPEAKER_01

I haven't either, but the title tells me enough.

SPEAKER_00

So well, yeah, the ultimatum. I've I think I watched like maybe one episode, but yeah, it's basically about couples coming together and one doesn't want to make that commitment. And so it's just a bunch of couples and they start talking around and it seems juicy.

SPEAKER_01

Yes. Um, put a ring on it. Have you seen that one? No, I haven't seen that one either. Okay. So I think Married at First Sight is my favorite one of the Love is Blind.

SPEAKER_00

That's the best one.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I don't have enough patience to sit and watch people talk in dark rooms.

SPEAKER_00

He said, Oh, I can't even talk myself. Yeah, I like that one a lot. Um, okay, so we'll talk about really quick celebrity dating shows. Um, Flavor of Love. Did you ever watch that with Flavor Flavor?

SPEAKER_01

I can't, yes.

SPEAKER_00

I'm like, I was probably like 10 watching that as showing Flavor, Flavor Flav. Honestly, iconic, and I wish they would bring those kind of shows back because I think it could be really fun. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I think that was on like VH1.

SPEAKER_00

VH1, yeah, I think so too.

SPEAKER_01

Those didn't even make him TV.

SPEAKER_00

Oh, yeah, literally. And then also, did you ever watch uh Rock of Love with Brett Michaels?

SPEAKER_01

Yes.

SPEAKER_00

He was yep. I needed someone to please bring back that kind of reality TV because I would eat it up. Yeah. Because it's just iconic. So, do you have anything else? That's it for today. Okay, that's all I got.

SPEAKER_01

All right. Well, it was fun hanging out with you, taking a break from wedding planning and all the details. So I love this.

SPEAKER_00

Love it.
