Speaker 1 (00:01):
Some might argue that at times I can be the
no fun police, okay, and I don't. I don't feel
that I'm a no fund police. I just don't get
into like wacky shenanigans like believe it or not. I mean,
I realize what we do here is kind of like,
you know, it's a little bit goofy.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
But I mean they we're not doing like.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You know, but I don't know, like I'm not I'm
not the guy who's like ready to play charades at
the party. You know, I'm not the first guy on
the dance floor at the wedding. I'm just I'm just
kind of chill. I'm just kind of laid back.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
I don't like things that call a ton of attention
to any one particular person. I don't want to believe
it or not, Maybe you guys, I hopefully hopefully you
guys would agree. I actually do not like the attention
on me. True, that's true, like at all makes me
very uncomfortable. I realize what I lead the room here,
but like the attention can be on you guys is fine,
but when someone brings a lot of attention on themselves,
(00:54):
it also makes me uncomfortable. Yes, And so where this
is going is uh, I saw this one TikTok. A
father has gone viral for creating a song to another
song to sing at his son's wedding. So they're like
outside and it's like rolling hills and they're in their
tuxes and this looks like a very fancy wedding. And
(01:15):
I'm not sure if this was his speech, but it's
actually like a resounding positive review on the internet for
the most part. But this dude gets up there and
sings to Brandy that song by looking glass, you were a.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
Fine girl, what a good why?
Speaker 1 (01:28):
And sings about them And I guess he had like
a music producer help him with this and the whole thing.
And I haven't listened to it yet because I think
I know what it is and I'm going to annoy me.
But I mean, is is this My opinion is that
a wedding is not the time. And I realized he
probably I don't know if he paid for it or
paid for part of it, or I know that parents
(01:48):
give speeches, and I realize that, you know, maybe something
creative is better than just the generic, you know, lazy speech.
But at the same time, like, is this really the
time to make it about you as the father and
like do a little little it up or do you
just go up there and just say, hey, look, I'm
the dad and I'm super proud of these two and
like I'm really happy to be here and we're gonna
have a great time and sit you, sit your ass down.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
My cousin would have been my cousin in law.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
It's my cousin's husband's dad did this at their wedding
in New Orleans.
Speaker 1 (02:16):
Propos cousin's husband's dad. Okay, And how did they go over?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
It was like later in the night, so everyone was
a little lit, and it was funny that he I
don't know, I had just met him and I wasn't
expecting him to be so wild and wacky on stage,
so we liked it. I also think that my dad
saying to my mom at their wedding, But I don't know.
I mean, I think you got to do it when
everybody's lit.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
Well, I think it's your wedding. You could do it
every year. Oh okay, you think maybe. But I also
I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
I've gone off on this before, Like when the when
the NFL cheerleader does like a cheerleading dance performance for
her husband at the wedding.
Speaker 2 (02:50):
Jaylo did that too.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
Ben he was, And I'm just kind of like, like
it's cute, I think when the guys do it, especially
if it's a guy that doesn't dance. Like I've seen
a couple where like he's surprised his wife with like
a little routine with his buddies that you would not
expect because the guy like that's not But like, if
you're already a professional dancer and you're doing a performance
at your wedding, you're doing a performance for your wedding guest.
(03:13):
You are, and it's nothing to do with whoever you're
supposedly doing it for. You're flexing the fact that you're
super talented because everybody there already knows that you're a
you know, Panthers cheerleader or whatever.
Speaker 2 (03:25):
Everyone already knows that.
Speaker 1 (03:26):
So like when you and five of the Panther cheerleaders
come out and do this whole like, you know, whatever
you're doing, everybody already knows that about you. You don't
like there's no flex here, Like we don't need to
see it, Like we'll just go to the game like
we go, we got it. You used to be a
bulls cheerleader, We got it, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
And the thing is, usually they're not even current.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
It's like an opportunity for the you know, eight girls
that were on the two thousand and eight squad to
get together and like see another, you.
Speaker 2 (03:51):
Know what I mean.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
I'm probably not a total hater, but I'm just like, yeah,
I mean they were current.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
I mean, because we're not going to do a podcast
at our weddings, you know what I mean.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
No, we don't get any ideas. Don't get any ideas anyway. Here,
this is, this is it. Let's listen to you a
little bit of this.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
This is I think it's the father of the groom,
I believe singing a song at his son's wedding or
daughter's wedding that he that he came up with ahead
of time with a music producer that he performed at
the wedding.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
He said, she said.
Speaker 5 (04:25):
Never to love. So it's.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
What I am for this. I am so for this.
I'm sorry. I think it's so cute.
Speaker 5 (04:59):
I had my brother and Big ten performed at my
thirtieth birthday party. I just think it's the cutest. What
do they perform? H town knocking the boots? And then
they transitioned into a new addition.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Zize did you tell them to do this?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I kind of suggested it because I'm wanting to perform
at my birthday party. But I couldn't afford y'all rule yet,
so I was like, y'all need to put together performance,
and they actually did and it was it was the
cutest thing. So I'm against the whole bride's performing at
their Like it's your wedding.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Everything is already about you don't know, That's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
But if your family member or dad or like this
is cute, I'm here for that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Like I'm not going to land a plane at my wedding.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
No, that'd be sick if you got out.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Of a plane.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Though, yeah, actually pose on a Runway's I suppose personalized
proposal is about the couple.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But when I'm going to a wedding, like I already know,
like in fact, the people there should know you better
than anyone on earth, so like we don't need to
be reminded of like your little hobbies because we already know.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I'm start, didn't butte you to my weather. Oh is
your dad going to sing to looking Glass?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I doubt it she has a good time. I doubt that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You're gonna go for that. Someone said Fredz to hater
at his core and has to embrace it. No, I
already First of all, you don't get to diss wee
because I already said I'm the no fun police.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Stuff like this makes me uncomfortable. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But but really though, but really, the real point here
is it has nothing to do with me as a guest.
It's I'm just attending. I'm just there. I'm drinking my
little baka soda. You know, I'm drinking my little wine whatever.
I don't know what's going on. But I mean, if
it's your wedding, do you really want other people being
cute at your wedd you do?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yes' for you, but Pauline like Pauline's wedding. Nobody else
is cute but her. I thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And your and your mom stood up and gave a
very brief message you were talking about his parents stood
up and gave a very brief message. Yes, it was,
you know, I mean it was somewhere between three and
five minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Tops, which is acceptable, and.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Everybody was cool and like this is great, great that march.
It looks beautiful. I wanted to know the guy with
the fedora if she was doing him really, we really
wanted to know that. That was really what everybody wanted
to know the whole night. I know, so maybe they
were them. No, that's her Jonathan, so I.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Have my Jonathan was my best friend and my gaye.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Us that's hers.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Okay, But I would have loved if Hobby got up
and do the dance with his boys, only because he
doesn't because it doesn't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It would have been so uncomfortable, and I would have
loved every.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Second of It's like, now I wish we did the dance.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think when it's unexpected, maybe it's cute. But if
you're the groom, if it's your wedding. But like, like
if I did it, I think people would be shocked.
And I didn't tell anyone I was doing it correct,
Like that would be shocking. But if you're already, like
I feel like the people doing this are already the
people who would be the center of attention anyway, Like
something tells me this father would make no, there would
(07:46):
be no question that he was in attendance at this wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Something tells me he's that guy.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He's that guy that like, oh, you know so and
So's dads here, like it's gonna be wild. And then
and then and then he goes and makes it about him,
because that's really what this is feel to me, like
people making it about themselves. That's what it feels like
to me, Like, let me have five minutes at this event.
That's not about me. That's what it feels like to me.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
But he put in work and like the performance together
for them with them in mind, Like, isn't doesn't it
feel nice that somebody would, you know, organize a routine
or take the time out to practice.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I guess, I guess, I guess.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Okay, cancel the performance for his birthday, right right right?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh, I got him drag queens before, I've done all
kinds of stuff that he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's like my sister many years ago gave the Mati
of Honor speech at her best friends in what was
it the rehearsal dinner night before the wedding, and she
was asking me, you know, for the reason she's asking me, like, like,
I'm the public speaker, you know how to go about it? Well,
I guess, but like that's different standing up in front
of ten people and giving a speech is different than this,
(08:51):
even not to mention one hundred and fifty two hundred whatever,
but but my point was she was like, you know, well,
you have any tips for me, And I'm like, do
not try do not try and be funny, Do not
try and do a skit, Do not try and do
anything that you intentionally mean to sound cute, because what's
gonna happen is if you go up there and you
do something that you're expecting a reaction from and you
(09:11):
don't get it, you're going to crater.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Like you Yeah, if you go.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Up there and in the first ten seconds twenty seconds
you deliver a line that you worked on, or you
do something you know, silly or whatever and no one laughs,
then then you've got another four pages of material that
you still have to deliver. And I think for the
average person and even me as a professional, that would
crush me on the inside. Yeah, Like if I went
(09:35):
up on stage it was like so excited or in
front of everyone to tell you something and then nobody
laughed at me. I would probably just rip up the
rest and go home, like I mean, so, you know what,
and people do it and it's like, yeah, you don't.
No one expects you to be a comedian. No one
expects you to do waka waka like. What they expect
you to do is share something sentimental and have some
(09:56):
sort of feeling your emotion, you know, and sort of
inject some happiness and you know what I mean into
That's the point is that no one there's few people
there that mean more and you mean more, and they
mean more to you than this person is standing there.
So just say that it's not a roast. It's not
a roast either. Okay, that's another mistake people make. I've
seen it happen so many times at rehearsal dinners where like,
(10:19):
and it's always the guy.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It's always on the guy's side.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But like I remember, I went to my buddy's wedding
and just out of college, and everybody went up and
gave him promptu speeches at the rehearsal dinner at this
very fancy country club. It was extremely bride had a
lot of money, very fancy, a lot of high flutin
people there, and one of the dudes goes up and
decide it's going to be the roast to my boy,
and it's telling stories from like the fraternity and I'm going, dude, no,
(10:44):
like this is like the night before the wedding is
not the time to hear about for the for the
father of the bride to hear about the kind of
shenanigans that is soon to be son in law was
into because there's nothing you can do about it now.
Yeah right, I mean, yeah, you disagree. Do you like
the shenanigans?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I do.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
I love the shenanigans, and I love watching somebody crash
at a wedding, like like they're in the middle of
that speech and they're trying to be funny and it
is not working, and the bride is like me mugging them,
but they keep going because like, once you're up there,
you just gotta keep going. So I enjoy the shenanigans,
I really do. And I feel like as long as
it comes from a good place, it'll go.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Overwhelm Like if pulling him.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
There was something talk about you having me officiate your
wedding at some point.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I mean that was real, But the Elvis Church, wouldn't
let what you do the Elvish Church that you are
not an employee.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I would have I would have surprised you by dressing
as Elvis and marrying you. That would have that would
have been funny. That would have been that would have
been funny and unexpected. But you could argue from the outside,
he's making it about him. You could argue that anything
I do to call attention to myself at your wedding
is now now not about you anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
My wedding was different. Though we're in Vegas at the
Lettle White Wedding Chapel. Anything goes there, I'll bets are off.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But imagine if I stood up there and before I
married you, guys, I did it waiting by the phone Skar.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It'd be like we're playing the throw down.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I mean, if you asked me to do that. But
like otherwise I don't, I don't know. Everyone's mad at
me on the text, like you're a hater. I'm not
trying to be a hater.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's just like you don't like fine. I like I
like fun. I like fun.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I just I kind of wonder, like, what is this
guy don't make someone else's wedding about you. It should
be all. If there's one night that it can be
all about other people, it's that night. I feel like, Hey, Ryan,
how you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Ryan?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Hey, I was just gonna stay Fred. If you ever
do get married, you have to land the plane, like
have the ready reception at the end of the runway,
and then you land the plane and that's how you
walk into the reception at the end of the runway
and then you just walk up to the altar like that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
But wouldn't everybody get there first? Of I love how
he's like, if you ever like because if you've been
listening for five minutes, you know there's a very small
likelihood of that. But everybody who's going to be at
this wedding realizes that I have a pilot's license, Like
they don't need to see it, Like you know what
I mean, Like I don't. I don't need to make
them all stand there and wait, I land a plane
and get out and like straighten myself.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Hey, come on, everybody knows that, Ryan.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
No, it would definitely be cool.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It would be like.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
When Jeff Prokes from Survivor on the finale, he would
to jump out of the plane and skydives and then
he'd walk into the stadium like that. It'd be like that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I saw a guy do that once. Actually I did
see a guy come to his own wedding. He's a skydiver,
and he jumped out of the plane, landed at his
own wedding, and then like as he's like Bacon, never
stopped walking, like landed, stripped the gear off. He was
already in this tucks and just walked out. It was
that was cool. That was actually pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But that's like, but that's how you walk out of
the plane. That's daredevil stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You knew he was a skydiver already.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, but I didn't know he was going to do that.
Well at first I didn't know him. It was a video,
but I don't know. I don't know that anybody knew
he was going to do that. I think everybody was
kind of like where is he? You know, and then
he's like in the sky, like, I mean, well, come on,
that's an extreme example. But thank you, Ryan, I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
So many rules.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, Fred, drop it. No, I'm not gonna drop it.
I'm gonna keep going. Thanks. We'll go on for twenty
more minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now, my husband and his mother, this is a text,
did a whole ten minute dance routine and it was
horrible and I interrupted it because I couldn't take it anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I guess that's coming from the that's coming from the bride.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
I mean, like, okay, this is a long time.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
See, this is what I mean. Like, this is an
eight minute song. This man is singing, I'm with Fred.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
It's about the couple Fred's upset about has something that
has nothing to do with him.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah. No, that's my job.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's exact as my job every day is to have
an opinion on things that do not matter.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And I've delivered. All right, fine, I'm done, I'm done.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Drop it.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Thank you, Kik. You don't have to text. You can
just talk that loud. The microphone is on.
Some might argue that at times I can be the
no fun police, okay, and I don't. I don't feel
that I'm a no fund police. I just don't get
into like wacky shenanigans like believe it or not. I mean,
I realize what we do here is kind of like,
you know, it's a little bit goofy.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
But I mean they we're not doing like.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
You know, but I don't know, like I'm not I'm
not the guy who's like ready to play charades at
the party. You know, I'm not the first guy on
the dance floor at the wedding. I'm just I'm just
kind of chill. I'm just kind of laid back.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Believe it or not.
Speaker 1 (00:32):

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Zize did you tell them to do this?
Speaker 5 (05:13):
I kind of suggested it because I'm wanting to perform
at my birthday party. But I couldn't afford y'all rule yet,
so I was like, y'all need to put together performance,
and they actually did and it was it was the
cutest thing. So I'm against the whole bride's performing at
their Like it's your wedding.
Speaker 6 (05:28):
Everything is already about you don't know, That's what I mean.
Speaker 2 (05:31):
That's exactly what I mean.
Speaker 5 (05:32):
But if your family member or dad or like this
is cute, I'm here for that.
Speaker 2 (05:36):
Like I'm not going to land a plane at my wedding.
Speaker 6 (05:38):
No, that'd be sick if you got out.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Of a plane.
Speaker 5 (05:40):
Though, yeah, actually pose on a Runway's I suppose personalized
proposal is about the couple.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
But when I'm going to a wedding, like I already know,
like in fact, the people there should know you better
than anyone on earth, so like we don't need to
be reminded of like your little hobbies because we already know.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
I'm start, didn't butte you to my weather. Oh is
your dad going to sing to looking Glass?
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Maybe?
Speaker 2 (06:03):
I doubt it she has a good time. I doubt that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
You're gonna go for that. Someone said Fredz to hater
at his core and has to embrace it. No, I
already First of all, you don't get to diss wee
because I already said I'm the no fun police.
Speaker 2 (06:15):
Stuff like this makes me uncomfortable. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
But but really though, but really, the real point here
is it has nothing to do with me as a guest.
It's I'm just attending. I'm just there. I'm drinking my
little baka soda. You know, I'm drinking my little wine whatever.
I don't know what's going on. But I mean, if
it's your wedding, do you really want other people being
cute at your wedd you do?
Speaker 2 (06:37):
Yes' for you, but Pauline like Pauline's wedding. Nobody else
is cute but her. I thank you for that.
Speaker 1 (06:43):
And your and your mom stood up and gave a
very brief message you were talking about his parents stood
up and gave a very brief message. Yes, it was,
you know, I mean it was somewhere between three and
five minutes.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
Tops, which is acceptable, and.
Speaker 1 (06:56):
Everybody was cool and like this is great, great that march.
It looks beautiful. I wanted to know the guy with
the fedora if she was doing him really, we really
wanted to know that. That was really what everybody wanted
to know the whole night. I know, so maybe they
were them. No, that's her Jonathan, so I.
Speaker 2 (07:10):
Have my Jonathan was my best friend and my gaye.
Speaker 6 (07:12):
Us that's hers.
Speaker 5 (07:13):
Okay, But I would have loved if Hobby got up
and do the dance with his boys, only because he
doesn't because it doesn't do it.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
It would have been so uncomfortable, and I would have
loved every.
Speaker 6 (07:22):
Second of It's like, now I wish we did the dance.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
I think when it's unexpected, maybe it's cute. But if
you're the groom, if it's your wedding. But like, like
if I did it, I think people would be shocked.
And I didn't tell anyone I was doing it correct,
Like that would be shocking. But if you're already, like
I feel like the people doing this are already the
people who would be the center of attention anyway, Like
something tells me this father would make no, there would
(07:46):
be no question that he was in attendance at this wedding.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Something tells me he's that guy.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
He's that guy that like, oh, you know so and
So's dads here, like it's gonna be wild. And then
and then and then he goes and makes it about him,
because that's really what this is feel to me, like
people making it about themselves. That's what it feels like
to me, Like, let me have five minutes at this event.
That's not about me. That's what it feels like to me.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
But he put in work and like the performance together
for them with them in mind, Like, isn't doesn't it
feel nice that somebody would, you know, organize a routine
or take the time out to practice.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
I guess, I guess, I guess.
Speaker 2 (08:21):
I guess.
Speaker 6 (08:21):
Okay, cancel the performance for his birthday, right right right?
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Oh, I got him drag queens before, I've done all
kinds of stuff that he doesn't.
Speaker 2 (08:28):
I don't want.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
It's like my sister many years ago gave the Mati
of Honor speech at her best friends in what was
it the rehearsal dinner night before the wedding, and she
was asking me, you know, for the reason she's asking me, like, like,
I'm the public speaker, you know how to go about it? Well,
I guess, but like that's different standing up in front
of ten people and giving a speech is different than this,
(08:51):
even not to mention one hundred and fifty two hundred whatever,
but but my point was she was like, you know, well,
you have any tips for me, And I'm like, do
not try do not try and be funny, Do not
try and do a skit, Do not try and do
anything that you intentionally mean to sound cute, because what's
gonna happen is if you go up there and you
do something that you're expecting a reaction from and you
(09:11):
don't get it, you're going to crater.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Like you Yeah, if you go.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
Up there and in the first ten seconds twenty seconds
you deliver a line that you worked on, or you
do something you know, silly or whatever and no one laughs,
then then you've got another four pages of material that
you still have to deliver. And I think for the
average person and even me as a professional, that would
crush me on the inside. Yeah, Like if I went
(09:35):
up on stage it was like so excited or in
front of everyone to tell you something and then nobody
laughed at me. I would probably just rip up the
rest and go home, like I mean, so, you know what,
and people do it and it's like, yeah, you don't.
No one expects you to be a comedian. No one
expects you to do waka waka like. What they expect
you to do is share something sentimental and have some
(09:56):
sort of feeling your emotion, you know, and sort of
inject some happiness and you know what I mean into
That's the point is that no one there's few people
there that mean more and you mean more, and they
mean more to you than this person is standing there.
So just say that it's not a roast. It's not
a roast either. Okay, that's another mistake people make. I've
seen it happen so many times at rehearsal dinners where like,
(10:19):
and it's always the guy.
Speaker 2 (10:20):
It's always on the guy's side.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
But like I remember, I went to my buddy's wedding
and just out of college, and everybody went up and
gave him promptu speeches at the rehearsal dinner at this
very fancy country club. It was extremely bride had a
lot of money, very fancy, a lot of high flutin
people there, and one of the dudes goes up and
decide it's going to be the roast to my boy,
and it's telling stories from like the fraternity and I'm going, dude, no,
(10:44):
like this is like the night before the wedding is
not the time to hear about for the for the
father of the bride to hear about the kind of
shenanigans that is soon to be son in law was
into because there's nothing you can do about it now.
Yeah right, I mean, yeah, you disagree. Do you like
the shenanigans?
Speaker 4 (11:04):
I do.
Speaker 5 (11:04):
I love the shenanigans, and I love watching somebody crash
at a wedding, like like they're in the middle of
that speech and they're trying to be funny and it
is not working, and the bride is like me mugging them,
but they keep going because like, once you're up there,
you just gotta keep going. So I enjoy the shenanigans,
I really do. And I feel like as long as
it comes from a good place, it'll go.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
Overwhelm Like if pulling him.
Speaker 1 (11:26):
There was something talk about you having me officiate your
wedding at some point.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
I mean that was real, But the Elvis Church, wouldn't
let what you do the Elvish Church that you are
not an employee.
Speaker 1 (11:34):
I would have I would have surprised you by dressing
as Elvis and marrying you. That would have that would
have been funny. That would have been that would have
been funny and unexpected. But you could argue from the outside,
he's making it about him. You could argue that anything
I do to call attention to myself at your wedding
is now now not about you anymore.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
My wedding was different. Though we're in Vegas at the
Lettle White Wedding Chapel. Anything goes there, I'll bets are off.
Speaker 1 (11:56):
But imagine if I stood up there and before I
married you, guys, I did it waiting by the phone Skar.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
You know what I mean.
Speaker 5 (12:01):
It'd be like we're playing the throw down.
Speaker 1 (12:07):
I mean, if you asked me to do that. But
like otherwise I don't, I don't know. Everyone's mad at
me on the text, like you're a hater. I'm not
trying to be a hater.
Speaker 2 (12:16):
It's just like you don't like fine. I like I
like fun. I like fun.
Speaker 1 (12:21):
I just I kind of wonder, like, what is this
guy don't make someone else's wedding about you. It should
be all. If there's one night that it can be
all about other people, it's that night. I feel like, Hey, Ryan,
how you doing?
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Ryan?
Speaker 4 (12:37):
Hey, I was just gonna stay Fred. If you ever
do get married, you have to land the plane, like
have the ready reception at the end of the runway,
and then you land the plane and that's how you
walk into the reception at the end of the runway
and then you just walk up to the altar like that.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
But wouldn't everybody get there first? Of I love how
he's like, if you ever like because if you've been
listening for five minutes, you know there's a very small
likelihood of that. But everybody who's going to be at
this wedding realizes that I have a pilot's license, Like
they don't need to see it, Like you know what
I mean, Like I don't. I don't need to make
them all stand there and wait, I land a plane
and get out and like straighten myself.
Speaker 2 (13:13):
Hey, come on, everybody knows that, Ryan.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
No, it would definitely be cool.
Speaker 2 (13:18):
It would be like.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
When Jeff Prokes from Survivor on the finale, he would
to jump out of the plane and skydives and then
he'd walk into the stadium like that. It'd be like that.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
I saw a guy do that once. Actually I did
see a guy come to his own wedding. He's a skydiver,
and he jumped out of the plane, landed at his
own wedding, and then like as he's like Bacon, never
stopped walking, like landed, stripped the gear off. He was
already in this tucks and just walked out. It was
that was cool. That was actually pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (13:44):
But that's like, but that's how you walk out of
the plane. That's daredevil stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (13:48):
You knew he was a skydiver already.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Yeah, but I didn't know he was going to do that.
Well at first I didn't know him. It was a video,
but I don't know. I don't know that anybody knew
he was going to do that. I think everybody was
kind of like where is he? You know, and then
he's like in the sky, like, I mean, well, come on,
that's an extreme example. But thank you, Ryan, I appreciate it.
Speaker 6 (14:04):
So many rules.
Speaker 2 (14:04):
Yeah, Fred, drop it. No, I'm not gonna drop it.
I'm gonna keep going. Thanks. We'll go on for twenty
more minutes.
Speaker 1 (14:12):
Now, my husband and his mother, this is a text,
did a whole ten minute dance routine and it was
horrible and I interrupted it because I couldn't take it anymore.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
I guess that's coming from the that's coming from the bride.
Speaker 6 (14:23):
I mean, like, okay, this is a long time.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
See, this is what I mean. Like, this is an
eight minute song. This man is singing, I'm with Fred.
Speaker 1 (14:29):
It's about the couple Fred's upset about has something that
has nothing to do with him.
Speaker 2 (14:33):
Yeah. No, that's my job.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
That's exact as my job every day is to have
an opinion on things that do not matter.
Speaker 2 (14:39):
And I've delivered. All right, fine, I'm done, I'm done.
Speaker 6 (14:42):
Drop it.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Thank you, Kik. You don't have to text. You can
just talk that loud. The microphone is on.
