This week on It’s Ben a Week, I sit down with Carlo Amato, the viral, no-BS wedding planner that has social media obsessed—and even caught the attention of Rihanna. We talk about his rise to internet fame, the wedding trends that need to die immediately, and the groomzillas who are officially worse than bridezillas.

We also dive into:

  •  The epidemic of people lacking self-awareness
  •  My gas station showdown with a woman who refused to move
  •  Carlo’s wildest wedding stories (spoiler: grandmothers were not spared)
  •  The worst wedding speech offenders
  •  The moment Rihanna followed him, and how he lost his mind

This episode is unfiltered, hilarious, and full of the kind of chaos that makes life entertaining. Listen now!
