Speaker 1 (00:00):
Yeah, they talk better than these are the radio blogs
on the Fred Show. It's like running in our tiaries,
except we say them aloud. We call them blogs. Kiki,
Yes you got one, go all right.
Speaker 2 (00:12):
Dear blog. So over the weekend, I got a chance
to fulfill one of my childhood dreams, which well two
of them actually. One was I ended up in a
hotel with a microwave and a refrigerator in my room.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah, you don't even have to ask for it.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I did not. It was just there.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I know how much refrigeration and microwaving did you do?
Speaker 2 (00:30):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I didn't, but you had the option, and that's what
made you feel good.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
It made me feel so good. Okay, I wasn't even
supposed to be there anyway, that's beside the story. But
another childhood dream of mine was to always, whenever I
got married, go to this wedding boutique in New York
called Kleinfields. If you know you have watched the show
Say Yes to the Dress, are very own Jason, say
(00:54):
Yes to the Dress. I'm familiar with that story.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
Yes and you said Yes to the dress.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
It is a famous show that I think we all
watched on repeat for our entire lives in childhood, and
so it's like where all the eight girls go to
find their wedding dress. So I just happen to be
in New York for some other stuff and I was like, hey,
I'm going to go to Client fels By myself. So
low I made the little bridal appointment. They said, how
many coming with you? I'm like zero. I felt so pitiful.
But when I pulled up, it is everything you see
(01:24):
on TV like it is it is. It is a
Disney World for brides. So you walk in and everybody's rich, right,
everybody in the store is rich. So you walk in
and there's me and I got my little chine coat on.
Speaker 1 (01:36):
And I'll be honest with you, you may be rich,
but you look rich play the part.
Speaker 2 (01:46):
But so I rolled up and they walk you in
and they're like, okay, let me get you set up
with your bridal attendant or whatever. So they come out
and they come in shout out to my girls. They
were amazing. So they take me back in the room
and you know, I'm a plus bride, so I'm like, now,
let me see what Client Field got for the plus
sized girls, because sometimes they try to put us in
like these little gown like, just you look a mess.
(02:08):
So I'm see what they're gonna bring in?
Speaker 3 (02:10):
What put you in?
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Like you know those like smocks, like you just always
look terrible.
Speaker 3 (02:15):
They put you in a smock?
Speaker 2 (02:17):
Yes, so hey, they they come and I'm like, let
me see what they're giving. I'm ready to drag them.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Now.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
They come out and these dresses are beautiful. And before
they even pull the dress, they asked you, and they
should do this on the show too, what is your budget? Now?
As a kid, when I watch and the girls, they
would say what's your budget? If you said anything less
than ten grand? I was like, oh you broke girl,
you have no business there. I knew when I walked in.
I was like, when they asked that question, I'm just
(02:44):
gonna say there is no budget. That's really there is
no budget, Like the budget does not exact.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
I was going to ask you if they're like they
have to be like real estate agents where you're like,
what's your budget, You're like two hundred and fifty grand.
They're showing you houses that like allion bucks, so you
can see what you can't afford, you know, and you're like, well,
maybe I could make this work No, I was just
I was wondering if they bring out like, you know,
diamond study stuff that was a million bucks.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Yeah. So I went in there and I said no budget,
but I was meaning like like, there really is no
budget for this. But I'm here like.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
There's actually no budget, no money. They interpreted that as
money is no object. What you were really saying to
them is I don't have any money.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
So you weren't lying.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
No, I was trying to be honest, but I also
wanted to see the best of what they have, you know,
and they really pulled it out, and it was just
so when you walk in there, it's total sales many,
you know, because everybody's like, oh my god, you're like
a princess. People you don't know come out of Random's
spider that is so beautiful, like you're taking you know,
it wouldn't know what they're doing.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Yes, what was the most expensive dress they brought out?
Speaker 2 (03:48):
I think it was a dress for like ten thousand dollars,
which was made by the star of the show. His
name is Randy. He was not there, but he has
he has his own dress line.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Yes, it's had a lot for a wedding dress.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
I don't know, Oh my god, Oh yeah, yeah, that's
a lie.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
No, I know that sounds stupid, but like, my weddings
are expensive, so I don't I don't know what a
lot for what?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
So ten grand would be a high very? Is that
very high end?
Speaker 2 (04:10):
Or yeah?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Is it like anything else where? You can go nuts
if you want to.
Speaker 2 (04:14):
I mean you can if you want to, but I
think most people can't.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
What do you think what?
Speaker 1 (04:17):
I'm gonna look it up because I'm just curious. I
have no perspective.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
I would say like two or under is like yeah,
a bridge probably yeah, but did they jack you up
which means they add the veil? No, so they didn't
jack me up because yeah, twenty one hundred bucks, it's
the average.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
The average wedding dress cost in twenty twenty five is
approximately twenty one hundred dollars.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
That's pretty good, which sounds like.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
That sounds like what you should be I don't know,
but ten sounds like a lot for a dress that
you are more than likely only going to it one
time direct but they.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Get you with Okay, the dress will be five thousand,
but the alterations are another five thousand. And you know
they kept telling me, girl, you can customize because I
was like, I love the time this dress. I like
the bottom of that.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm buying a dress for five thousand dollar dollars and
it cost me five thousand to.
Speaker 3 (05:01):
Make it look good.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Oh that's how they get Why don't you just.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
Make me address? Then?
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Why don't why don't we skip the initial five grand
and then you make me address for five grands?
Speaker 2 (05:10):
Exactly? Don't get a tailor there either, like we can
find you, like, you.
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Know, I got a little lady who will Yeah, I
guy to His name is Harmando.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
It's great, Yes, just anybody, but then please yes, But
this was a This was a big milestone on my
little bridle checklist because client fails is just it's iconic.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
Did you go for the experience or will you buy
a dress from them?
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Absolutely not. I went for the experience and I'm with
the crew, you know, because they want you to bring
your family in and you know it's it's a whole deal.
Speaker 1 (05:41):
But because they need all of those people to pay
for the dress, they need a full on go fund
to get the money out of you know what you want?
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Yes, now I have an idea of what I actually
like in a wedding dress. So now it really begins.
And why didn't you want to put the veil? And
you wanted to wait for that moment? Damn I do, yeah,
I wanted to wait for that moment.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
So is it like a lot of shopping experiences where
I should say, like poor shopping experiences where they bring
stuff out You're like, you think I would wear that?
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Or do they do?
Speaker 1 (06:09):
They do?
Speaker 3 (06:10):
They get it right?
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Because you know, like sometimes you'll go to a department
store or something, and I know they're just doing their jobs,
but you'll be like, hey, you know, I'm trying this
and that, and then they'll like bring you like a
tow two? What what made you think I'm shopping for
your jeans?
Speaker 2 (06:25):
Like?
Speaker 3 (06:25):
What made you think that I wanted this?
Speaker 1 (06:27):
And then that? Honestly, that always backfires with me because
then I'm like, you know, you're not really paying any attention.
First of all, I wear an excel and two two
not a medium. So that's the first thing, right, exactly
like that, I can't even get this around this to
two around my leg. Okay, so that's I'm offended now.
But I was just curious, like if they so they
listened to you and they brought you options that you
(06:48):
would actually like, because I've watched the show before and
I don't know if they do it on purpose or
what mugi you were on the show us, But do
they bring out ugly ones like.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
Justice or try to establish like a baseline like and
sometimes I think they I remember our Diane Ladies saying like, well,
you don't know you don't like something until you see
it on, so let's go like full right, and then
you might like it or it might spark something else
or another idea or something like that. Now would the
bride Eye was with decide to go with the red dress?
Probably not, but like you try it on just to see,
(07:19):
you know, like House Hunters.
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Where they've already chosen the dress before they go in. No, No,
I'm sorry if I ruined House Shunters for you. House
house Hunters, they've already bought the house before they which
is funny because then you got to go on House Hunters.
You got to go into the house you bought, yeah,
and then you got to you gotta trash it. That
kind of house is ugly, you know, because you got
to find positives and negatives about all three houses that
would be weird to go into the house I just
(07:42):
bought and be like, man, we should tear this thing down.
Speaker 2 (07:44):
Try to make you like the sassy ya or something
like this is it's.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
More of like the TV side of stuff they want,
like I would never weary to put a tier on,
but like it was me and a Tierra, you know,
be the mean gay. But yeah, I think that was
more for like fing it for TV.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
You know, the show was still filming, but they barely are.
And when I walked out, there were camera crews outside
and they kept trying to get me into the big
area where everyone is filming or whatever. They kept saying like,
if you want to go out there, we can go
out there, we can go out there. I'm like, girl, no,
You're like.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
What do you know?
Speaker 1 (08:16):
What do you get? Like for being on the show.
Do you get a discount on the dress? I don't
believe so, so you.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Just you just get bragging, right.
Speaker 4 (08:24):
Okay, you get to be on the show and then
they pick one bride out of every episode. I guess
where they film your wedding. So that's a pretty cool,
like momento. You get this like you know, professionally filmed,
you know, thing on TV. Of your wedding. But yeah, no,
I was in there for I think twelve fourteen hours.
Oh that's some Lacroix of starving. There's no catering like
(08:46):
I was, like, no sub sandwich, Give me like a
Panera box, give me like a Jimmy something.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Oh wow, I'm not doing it. Bring a lunch.
Speaker 1 (08:55):
But when I go on say yes to the dress,
I'm negotiating a catering budget.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Was starving. Wow, it was a cool experience. I'm happy
for you. So you got to do it.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
Yeah, so you're going to go back with family even
though you're not going to buy the dress there?
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Okay, why not? Why not
