Speaker 1 (00:01):
It's awkward.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I heard someone say being a bridesmaid is basically like
being in a very expensive cult. What there's matching outfits,
one really strict leader, lots of emotional chanting, and you
have to financially ruin yourself to prove your loyalty.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
That's a good point.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
I've personally never been one, but Alexis is that description relatively.
Speaker 4 (00:32):
In many cults.
Speaker 5 (00:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (00:33):
Yeah, how much red kool aid? Did you drink too much?
Speaker 6 (00:36):
Yeah? It was mixed with vodka.
Speaker 5 (00:39):
That's right.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm probably missing a lot of the tears and the
choreographed dances that come with it too. But you do
get the general idea because yes, it is an honor,
but it can also be a challenge.
Speaker 6 (00:50):
It really depends on where the bride is. That's true,
I mean honestly.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Because you can all of a sudden now you're signed up, oh,
bachelotte party in another state or country.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
You don't know.
Speaker 1 (00:58):
It's different for everything, and that's why our listener Shannon
says she needs our help today with a bridesmaid situation. Shannon,
Welcome to the show. Hi guys are you.
Speaker 7 (01:09):
Are you the bridesmaid? Shannon, I am one of the bridesmaids. Yeah, okay, okay, yeah,
you know, I risk I thought it was an honor,
but now it's getting a little weird and a little stressful.
Speaker 6 (01:22):
Can we ask before we get into it? How you
know the bride?
Speaker 7 (01:26):
So we've been friends for like ever, like since kindergarten.
Speaker 6 (01:30):
Oh, that's always one of those where you're like, are
you still really that close or is it just you know,
sometimes it can go either way.
Speaker 7 (01:38):
It's one of those we don't have to talk every day,
we don't live in the same state anymore, but we
get together. It's like your time has passed.
Speaker 6 (01:45):
Yeah, okay, that's awesome.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Yeah, that's cool. So what's going on with the bride?
Speaker 7 (01:50):
So here's the thing. She recently got engaged to her
boyfriend and she asked me to be a bridesmaid. Of
course they said yes. So then a few days later,
I get this email and has an attachment and it's
a bridemaid contract.
Speaker 6 (02:02):
Contracts that's business like or just like you're going to
actually follow through and pay for this stuff.
Speaker 7 (02:10):
So it like outlines all her expectations of being part
of the wedding Oh.
Speaker 6 (02:16):
Interesting. You know it probably came from somebody told her,
like some advice somewhere, was like, lay out what your
expectations are and then you won't have any drama.
Speaker 4 (02:24):
I've been sent a PowerPoint before, have you. Yeah, she's
a teacher, so it's her thing on like nails and
outfits and like what we expected. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
When I heard that, I thought it was a joke,
but that that's something that actually a contract.
Speaker 6 (02:40):
Is a little different than a PowerPoint. What did it say?
Speaker 7 (02:43):
So I actually have it in front of me, so
I'm going to read you some of these. One is
attendance mandatory for all pre wedding events, including dress spitting,
bachelor party, bridal shower, and spontaneous gathering.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
What spontanous?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
I mean that can't That can't be you.
Speaker 6 (02:59):
You live in another There's no way you.
Speaker 7 (03:01):
Can make spontaneous like I can't be spontaneous. Imped to
do that well by a flight last second.
Speaker 1 (03:06):
If you actually cared about her, then you wouldn't make
it happen.
Speaker 6 (03:10):
I even think the dress fitting is ridiculous.
Speaker 7 (03:12):
Oh this is a good one too. Weight management must
fit into dress, as is no diet accordingly, No, Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Yeah, Okay, but that one I can kind of understand,
because you want to look good in the photos. Right
out of here, Jeff, No one, no one, No one
wants to look good photos.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
There's no way in before a wedding.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Okay, like I didn't get in your way in. I
just must fit in your dress.
Speaker 7 (03:37):
No die diet accordingly.
Speaker 1 (03:39):
Okay, Okay, maybe that did cross. It triggered me, Jeff, obviously,
tell you're hiding. I'm afraid to even continue to ask if.
Speaker 7 (03:49):
There's anything else on the better guys?
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Oh god, okay.
Speaker 7 (03:52):
Groom proximity, no flirting, joking or standing too close to
the groom, no exceptions.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
Okay, you know what, now I have tow the line.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
That's a weird thing that you would even have to
say your best friends.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
That's weird.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Has he cheated or something?
Speaker 6 (04:08):
Yeah? Is there history? I'm with jose on that one.
Speaker 7 (04:12):
No, no, not not as far as I know. I
know she has one of her bridesmaids is a little
bit of let's say, maybe a trollop.
Speaker 1 (04:23):
That So maybe that rule was specifically designed for that
particular brides maybe.
Speaker 7 (04:32):
But here's the one that really irks me too. Financial commitment.
You're expected to contribute a minimum of two thousand dollars
towards the entire events, travels and gifts. Wow, And at
the bottom it says to sign it and return within
twenty four hours or else penalties would occur.
Speaker 6 (04:51):
This is God.
Speaker 7 (04:54):
But she's like, ha ha ha No, I'm literally on
a group chat with all the girls. They think she
is out of her mind. So I'm reaching out to you,
guys because they're all like pushing me because I've known
her the longest to have the conversation with her.
Speaker 6 (05:08):
A bridesmaid union, You're going to rise up and fight
against the man.
Speaker 7 (05:13):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
The situation sounds pretty serious, which is great that we're
putting it in an awkward Tuesday where jose can contribute
his knowledge and advice on brides.
Speaker 6 (05:23):
I'm so scared to talk. I mean, I think here's
the thing. This is a really important conversation because the
bride is a little out of her mind. She's alienating
all of her closest people, and someone needs to tell
her that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, maybe that someone should be brooked because she feels
the strongest about it. By the way, Shannon, what is
the bride's name?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Oh yeah, Parah.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
The first part of terrible, that's not I'm not going
to say is a great name. Let's circle the wagons here, team,
We're gonna come up with some top notch advice to
give Shannon before she calls the bride to confront her
about the bridesmaid contract. Say you've gone too far, girl.
(06:15):
You're gonna do it with your awkward Tuesday phone call
right after this hold on, it's awkward. It's awkward Tuesday
phone call. We just heard from a bridesmaid. Her name
is Shannon, who told us about her friend's extremely reasonable
bridesmaid contract that she sent out to the whole bridal party.
(06:36):
Some of the clauses in there include minimum dollar amounts
required in order to participate, weight restriction rules, and limits
on groom proximity. Now, again, I've never been a bridesmaid before,
but if I was, I would think that'd be pretty
normal stuff. I would think Brook tends to disagree. She
(06:58):
has a little bit more sperience with this stuff then me.
For the bottom line is Shannon has been nominated by
the entire group to call the bride and talk her
down from some of the expectations laid out in the contract.
That's why she needs a little bit of advice before
she does it. Brooke, we're gonna start with you. What
advice do you have for Shannon?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Okay, for Shannon, the most important thing is you need
to come to her as her friend.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, this call is because you've got her back and
she hasn't thought all of this through yet. Like, of
course all the bridesmaids are gonna sign it. But what
if this document, this contract got leaked on social media,
this bride may become literally the most hated person on
the internet. And not only is that not deserved, but
like it's also like such a distraction from her big day.
(07:45):
You know, she has this little window right now, I see.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The advice is to threaten to leak it onto the internet, nosed.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
The advice is to tell her you have this little
window right now to just tell everybody it's a joke.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh okay, wait a minute's a chance to back out?
Do you What do you think about that? Shannon?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
She's not one to back down. But I do think
that if people found out, I would hope that she
would maybe see that's.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
You got to set it up that way before you
ask her to tell it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Is blowing up right now. So a lot of people
have opinions. Okay, so there's one piece of advice for you.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Jose has already said that he is too scared to
give any opinion or the other.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
I don't want to be in the room because I
feel like a lot of drama's about.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To happen and it's gonna yell that's fair. So instead
we're gonna go to Alexis. The bride's made experts, makes sense.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I'm a way we're asking me because I probably would
have already signed it and just sent it back. So
I'm too scared. Yeah, but if you are brave enough
to confront the bride, then be like, you are going
to be a great bride. I love your plans, and
then go into like, but you're a little psycho.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
But that's what I love about you, you know, But
that's what I love about it. You have about you
never had a confrontation with any one of your friends.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Let's just stop back down like that already. Come on,
So it sounds like say some sweet things, compliment her
a little bit before you bring the criticism, Like.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Some compliment sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Nobody ever sees through that, although the compliment sandwiches might
be a problem with the weight restrictions on the sandwich.
Jennermy order cucumber sandwiches either way. Now we're going to
call the bride teara here and we will step back
and let you make your call. Oh, just keep the
advice in mind and know that we have your back
to We're going to jump in if you feel like
you need a little help.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Okay, I'm really nervous. My hands are sweating, but thank
you for your question.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Remember this is your friend. Yes, so you have the
benefit of the doubt act that way.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Hello, Hey, who's the.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Grow a Shanna? Do you get a new number or something?
Where are you calling from? Yeah? I had to use
my phone being funny.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
So it's interesting because Melanie texted me earlier and she
said that you're gonna call because there's something about the wedding.
And honestly, I'm starting to feel some type of way
because none of you guys have signed the contract and
it's the deadlines ten night at midnight.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So what's going away?
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I didn't know if she'd do that. Of course she would.
Maybe we just dive in. First of all, very excited
for the big day. We all are.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, it should be. It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I gotta be Yeah. So you sound kind of foolish
right now. What No, listen, I love your enthusiasm for
your big day, and I just kind of wanted to
maybe have a little conversation about said contract gets to
the point. Okay, you know, I mean, you're the most
loving and constructive way possible, but it was girl, Come on,
(11:06):
I don't have time to this.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Let's up with us.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Okay. Well, like number one, the weight management thing, Amber's
trying to get pregnant, and you've got this girl terrified
if she's to get pregnant because she's like, I can't
gain any weight, and that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
She's not having twins, is she at least?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
No, listen you your dress is kind of form fitting.
She's never gonna hide if she by the time your
wedding comes, she would be pretty pregnant.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I'm not really liking your tone.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Girl.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I went to Shana's wedding in a hot pink bridesmaid
dress put together with dust takes. So the least yup
just can do for me is show up. Sober and
symmetrical and.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Much you know how like things hit the internet, like
what if one of these girls talks about it he or
posts about it, and then it's you're gonna look like
this crazy bridezilla.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
First of all, I can't believe that you would.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
What are you do to me?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I would?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I held your hair back in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Okay, first of all, we weren't going to talk about that.
We made a pack about it. Well, we're not gonna
leak anything online either, Sarah, I adore you, I love you,
can you. I'm coming from a place of love and friendship.
Take a breath. The groom part, like the no flirting
or talking or I mean, can't even look his direction,
(12:32):
Like that's that's a little bizarre.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Listed Listen, listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
You and I both know who has polish.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Tendencies and we do not.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You and I both know that is not directed at you.
I'm not gonna listen. There is no compromising on that.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Okay, well that one, that one's fine.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Leave that one.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
But like the minimum two thousand dollars and the travel
and the no missing event, like I don't live in
the same state, so that might be a problem.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It might be a problem, but it's not my problem.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But listen, I deserve a perfect day, and by God,
I'm going to have it.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
What is going on?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
He told you that was way too castulon.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, Shannon's there, and so is there a radio show
called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. You're on the
radio right now, Tara, Good.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Morning, Tara.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Okay, it's okay, everything's okay.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
She was just scared on how to bring this up,
so she needed some help, and that's where we came in.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Just it was all out of like she said, love
and friendship.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
That's where we're coming from.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Ans.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
My question is this, that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Brook is.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Another girl today? Okay, okay, okay, hold on, this is
a station in my town, not yours.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
I even know you.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
There's no connection.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh that makes it so much better.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All she's asking, Tara is if maybe you would consider
relooking over your contract with the girls because it's kind
of intense for some of them.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
All of us want to be in your wedding. We're
all gonna just sign the contract, but I just I
feel that if this is kind of how things are
going to go, we'll just go to Tona a smidget
and you know I don't do well with confrontation, and
I am very sweaty. Palms, my armpitar are very sweaty.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I gets true. I'm way you are bright right right,
I'm like, I know girls, you know, and I'm.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Like, I'm sweating. I'm sweating in all my crevices.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And that's good for the weight loss part of the
contract that she set out. So she's trying. What do
you think, though, Tarah, do you think that maybe you
would consider? I know, I know it's a lot to ask,
but it would mean a lot to Shannon and to
all the bridesmaids if you'd sit down with them and
just go over the rules and maybe make a couple
(15:15):
amendments so it works better for everybody.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
We'll talk about it, Okay, we can talk about it.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Okay, that's it.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I'm gonna tell you right now, though the room is staying.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Let's have a really questionable best friend.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
We love her, hoish Okay, do you have her for
the plot?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I get it. Yeah, we all got one.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
I don't think I have anyone that will take my man.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You're looking at her, that's not what I member.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But freaking Jeffrey in the morning,
It's awkward.
Speaker 2 (00:02):
It's Tuesday.
Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's awkward Tuesday phone call.
Speaker 3 (00:06):
You know.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
I heard someone say being a bridesmaid is basically like
being in a very expensive cult. What there's matching outfits,
one really strict leader, lots of emotional chanting, and you

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Now.
Speaker 1 (00:40):

choreographed dances that come with it too. But you do

Speaker 6 (05:23):
I'm so scared to talk. I mean, I think here's
the thing. This is a really important conversation because the
bride is a little out of her mind. She's alienating
all of her closest people, and someone needs to tell
her that's what's happening.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
Yeah, maybe that someone should be brooked because she feels
the strongest about it. By the way, Shannon, what is
the bride's name?
Speaker 7 (05:48):
Oh yeah, Parah.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
The first part of terrible, that's not I'm not going
to say is a great name. Let's circle the wagons here, team,
We're gonna come up with some top notch advice to
give Shannon before she calls the bride to confront her
about the bridesmaid contract. Say you've gone too far, girl.
(06:15):
You're gonna do it with your awkward Tuesday phone call
right after this hold on, it's awkward. It's awkward Tuesday
phone call. We just heard from a bridesmaid. Her name
is Shannon, who told us about her friend's extremely reasonable
bridesmaid contract that she sent out to the whole bridal party.
(06:36):
Some of the clauses in there include minimum dollar amounts
required in order to participate, weight restriction rules, and limits
on groom proximity. Now, again, I've never been a bridesmaid before,
but if I was, I would think that'd be pretty
normal stuff. I would think Brook tends to disagree. She
(06:58):
has a little bit more sperience with this stuff then me.
For the bottom line is Shannon has been nominated by
the entire group to call the bride and talk her
down from some of the expectations laid out in the contract.
That's why she needs a little bit of advice before
she does it. Brooke, we're gonna start with you. What
advice do you have for Shannon?
Speaker 6 (07:15):
Okay, for Shannon, the most important thing is you need
to come to her as her friend.
Speaker 7 (07:21):
Okay.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Yeah, this call is because you've got her back and
she hasn't thought all of this through yet. Like, of
course all the bridesmaids are gonna sign it. But what
if this document, this contract got leaked on social media,
this bride may become literally the most hated person on
the internet. And not only is that not deserved, but
like it's also like such a distraction from her big day.
(07:45):
You know, she has this little window right now, I see.
Speaker 1 (07:48):
The advice is to threaten to leak it onto the internet, nosed.
Speaker 6 (07:52):
The advice is to tell her you have this little
window right now to just tell everybody it's a joke.
Speaker 1 (07:58):
Oh okay, wait a minute's a chance to back out?
Do you What do you think about that? Shannon?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
She's not one to back down. But I do think
that if people found out, I would hope that she
would maybe see that's.
Speaker 6 (08:11):
You got to set it up that way before you
ask her to tell it.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Is blowing up right now. So a lot of people
have opinions. Okay, so there's one piece of advice for you.
Speaker 7 (08:20):
Now.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Jose has already said that he is too scared to
give any opinion or the other.
Speaker 7 (08:25):
I don't want to be in the room because I
feel like a lot of drama's about.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
To happen and it's gonna yell that's fair. So instead
we're gonna go to Alexis. The bride's made experts, makes sense.
Speaker 4 (08:36):
I'm a way we're asking me because I probably would
have already signed it and just sent it back. So
I'm too scared. Yeah, but if you are brave enough
to confront the bride, then be like, you are going
to be a great bride. I love your plans, and
then go into like, but you're a little psycho.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
But that's what I love about you, you know, But
that's what I love about it. You have about you
never had a confrontation with any one of your friends.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
Let's just stop back down like that already. Come on,
So it sounds like say some sweet things, compliment her
a little bit before you bring the criticism, Like.
Speaker 7 (09:13):
Some compliment sandwiches.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Nobody ever sees through that, although the compliment sandwiches might
be a problem with the weight restrictions on the sandwich.
Jennermy order cucumber sandwiches either way. Now we're going to
call the bride teara here and we will step back
and let you make your call. Oh, just keep the
advice in mind and know that we have your back
to We're going to jump in if you feel like
you need a little help.
Speaker 7 (09:34):
Okay, I'm really nervous. My hands are sweating, but thank
you for your question.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Remember this is your friend. Yes, so you have the
benefit of the doubt act that way.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
Here we go.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
Hello, Hey, who's the.
Speaker 7 (09:57):
Grow a Shanna? Do you get a new number or something?
Where are you calling from? Yeah? I had to use
my phone being funny.
Speaker 5 (10:08):
So it's interesting because Melanie texted me earlier and she
said that you're gonna call because there's something about the wedding.
And honestly, I'm starting to feel some type of way
because none of you guys have signed the contract and
it's the deadlines ten night at midnight.
Speaker 2 (10:25):
So what's going away?
Speaker 7 (10:30):
I didn't know if she'd do that. Of course she would.
Maybe we just dive in. First of all, very excited
for the big day. We all are.
Speaker 2 (10:41):
Yeah, it should be. It's gonna be amazing.
Speaker 7 (10:44):
I gotta be Yeah. So you sound kind of foolish
right now. What No, listen, I love your enthusiasm for
your big day, and I just kind of wanted to
maybe have a little conversation about said contract gets to
the point. Okay, you know, I mean, you're the most
loving and constructive way possible, but it was girl, Come on,
(11:06):
I don't have time to this.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
Let's up with us.
Speaker 7 (11:08):
Okay. Well, like number one, the weight management thing, Amber's
trying to get pregnant, and you've got this girl terrified
if she's to get pregnant because she's like, I can't
gain any weight, and that's the problem.
Speaker 3 (11:19):
She's not having twins, is she at least?
Speaker 7 (11:22):
No, listen you your dress is kind of form fitting.
She's never gonna hide if she by the time your
wedding comes, she would be pretty pregnant.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
I'm not really liking your tone.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
Girl.
Speaker 7 (11:33):
Let me tell you something.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
I went to Shana's wedding in a hot pink bridesmaid
dress put together with dust takes. So the least yup
just can do for me is show up. Sober and
symmetrical and.
Speaker 7 (11:52):
Much you know how like things hit the internet, like
what if one of these girls talks about it he or
posts about it, and then it's you're gonna look like
this crazy bridezilla.
Speaker 3 (12:02):
First of all, I can't believe that you would.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
What are you do to me?
Speaker 7 (12:06):
I would?
Speaker 3 (12:07):
I held your hair back in Vegas.
Speaker 7 (12:10):
Okay, first of all, we weren't going to talk about that.
We made a pack about it. Well, we're not gonna
leak anything online either, Sarah, I adore you, I love you,
can you. I'm coming from a place of love and friendship.
Take a breath. The groom part, like the no flirting
or talking or I mean, can't even look his direction,
(12:32):
Like that's that's a little bizarre.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
Listed Listen, listen, listen, listen.
Speaker 7 (12:36):
You and I both know who has polish.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
Tendencies and we do not.
Speaker 3 (12:42):
You and I both know that is not directed at you.
I'm not gonna listen. There is no compromising on that.
Speaker 7 (12:51):
Okay, well that one, that one's fine.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
Leave that one.
Speaker 7 (12:54):
But like the minimum two thousand dollars and the travel
and the no missing event, like I don't live in
the same state, so that might be a problem.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
It might be a problem, but it's not my problem.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
But listen, I deserve a perfect day, and by God,
I'm going to have it.
Speaker 7 (13:17):
What is going on?
Speaker 4 (13:20):
He told you that was way too castulon.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Yeah, Shannon's there, and so is there a radio show
called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. You're on the
radio right now, Tara, Good.
Speaker 7 (13:32):
Morning, Tara.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Okay, it's okay, everything's okay.
Speaker 6 (13:41):
She was just scared on how to bring this up,
so she needed some help, and that's where we came in.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
Just it was all out of like she said, love
and friendship.
Speaker 6 (13:49):
That's where we're coming from.
Speaker 5 (13:50):
Ans.
Speaker 2 (13:51):
My question is this, that's a good question.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
Brook is.
Speaker 7 (14:00):
Another girl today? Okay, okay, okay, hold on, this is
a station in my town, not yours.
Speaker 6 (14:12):
I even know you.
Speaker 7 (14:13):
There's no connection.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Oh that makes it so much better.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
All she's asking, Tara is if maybe you would consider
relooking over your contract with the girls because it's kind
of intense for some of them.
Speaker 7 (14:27):
All of us want to be in your wedding. We're
all gonna just sign the contract, but I just I
feel that if this is kind of how things are
going to go, we'll just go to Tona a smidget
and you know I don't do well with confrontation, and
I am very sweaty. Palms, my armpitar are very sweaty.
Speaker 2 (14:43):
I gets true. I'm way you are bright right right,
I'm like, I know girls, you know, and I'm.
Speaker 7 (14:49):
Like, I'm sweating. I'm sweating in all my crevices.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
And that's good for the weight loss part of the
contract that she set out. So she's trying. What do
you think, though, Tarah, do you think that maybe you
would consider? I know, I know it's a lot to ask,
but it would mean a lot to Shannon and to
all the bridesmaids if you'd sit down with them and
just go over the rules and maybe make a couple
(15:15):
amendments so it works better for everybody.
Speaker 7 (15:17):
We'll talk about it, Okay, we can talk about it.
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Okay, that's it.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
I'm gonna tell you right now, though the room is staying.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
Let's have a really questionable best friend.
Speaker 7 (15:35):
We love her, hoish Okay, do you have her for
the plot?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
I get it. Yeah, we all got one.
Speaker 6 (15:42):
I don't think I have anyone that will take my man.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
You're looking at her, that's not what I member.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
But freaking Jeffrey in the morning,
