So couples are having wedding and they're selling tickets. Yes. Selling tickets to their wedding. Yes, so there was this couple of New York that I just read about and it was successful to them. So they were planning this big wedding. They wanted to do a big thing, but it was super expensive. So they decided that they would sell tickets and make it an event. So they made it a long all day thing. The double decker buddies, it was in New York. So the double decker buddies would pick you up and take you around the city, show you some stuff, and then it had some stuff built in that was about them. This is where they did this, this way. Then you go to the ceremony, then you go to the reception. And the ticket price was $333 per person. You don't get it plus one as per person. Oh, wow. And they sold 210 tickets. They made- So they pretty much, either what, broke? Well, they didn't break even because it was a very expensive wedding, but it ate into $70,000 of their expenses. So they were willing to cover some of it, but they're like, these are our friends. If they want to come to this experience, then cool. And they even likened it to a Beyonce show. And he said, I had some people that would call me and say, who do you think you are, JZ? And Beyonce, we ain't paying. He's like, fine. Then don't come. But 210 people did. And I saw a story that was the opposite of this guy's like, look, we charged, we had this big wedding, we had this, and we told our friends, it was gonna be $250, and all of them backed out. Am I wrong in asking that? I mean, you gonna pay 200, look, Beyonce ticket, this is what he said. Beyonce ticket is $1,000. So you can pay $1,000 to Beyonce, but you can't pay 250, I'll see your friend who is getting married. That ain't right. And I was gonna go, you're making sense, but I wouldn't pay. - Yeah, right, yeah. I wouldn't pay. - I wouldn't have paid, no. That's just the cost of doing business. But evidently, he's onto something 'cause he had 210 people. - Yeah, in their case, they did something cool. They turned it into an all day event. And you got something out of it. And so it's what he said. It was an experience, a once in a lifetime party with all of our friends. - But you can't charge. I mean, charge, I'm just saying. If it's a destination wedding, I'm paying to get there. - To get there, yeah. - Yes, I've been to one destination wedding that I was actually in. And I got a discount through the couple, but I still had to pay to get there yet. - So if you're doing a destination wedding, they want you, if this is a new trend, you gotta pay for that too? - I thought destination weddings were always a you pay for it. - Yeah, me too. - Look, we're going. - Yeah, yeah. - If you would love to join us, we'd love to have you. But if you don't, I understand. - Yeah, yeah, yeah. - But I see what you're saying, Johnny. Like an additional cost on top of paying to get there. - Yeah, the additional like, okay, you pay to get there, but if you wanna come to the wedding, the food and everything, it's gonna be $250. - Yeah, no, I don't think they would do that because the resorts actually have a wedding package. And they include all that stuff when you book. So I think they're you're safe. But that's what you're saying. I definitely wouldn't double up. - Okay, so I asked you to be, would you, would you pay to attend someone's wedding? - Gosh, it would, it'd be tough because it would depend on who it is. Like, like if one of you guys asked, I'd be like, damn, I gotta go. - Yeah, right, so you would, if you fail for us. - I'm gonna be honest, if one of you guys did it, I'd pay with the person that I'm bringing with me. I talked coke trash about. - Yeah, yeah. - No, no, no, I wouldn't. - There's an only the person I'm with. - I wouldn't, no, I wouldn't bring a plus one. I can't afford two tickets to your wedding. I can only afford one to, and I would tell you, hey, I'm coming for myself, I can't afford two tickets. - You're saying, like that? - Right, unless you put, hey, if you're gonna put these on group on or something, then maybe my wife can come. Otherwise, it's gonna have to be just me, I'm sorry. - Right, would you, babe? - And don't expect a gift. Don't even look at that table. - Yeah, yeah, that is, yeah. - I don't even look at that table. - I'm just gonna be part of my character. - I was gonna bring that up. - Don't even think about it. - My present then is going to be my gift. - Wow. - 'Cause I can't afford to give something else on top of that. - My present is my present. - Right, would you pay? - It depends, if it's somebody that obviously was close to me, and they were suffering, but they wanted to have a party, but you know what I'm saying? - You got a lot of ifs, you got a lot of ifs there. - I know, but these people aren't suffering, so the fact that they charge is kind of mind-blowing to me. It's kind of greedy in my head. I don't know, because if I went to one of these Indian weddings, or these weddings in Bali, and all that, I would pay for that because it is a full-on experience, and it's like a festival in a wedding. - Therese? - I would do it. Of course, depending on the situation and who it is, but I see myself being able to pitch in, 'cause I mean, you can't compare, but when I did something for my birthday, I was like, guys, just throw me each of you 30 bucks, and it's going to cover boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. But let me see the itinerary. What's on them, am I having lobster? You know what I mean? - Here's the opposite of that, and I know we're going to run on time, is that you will lose friends. Brian knows this, Ray knows that I know it. You'll lose friends when someone RSVP to come, and they don't because you got to play for that plate regardless, regardless if they're not. You got to, and they won't give me that food. Can I get that on a, no. - I still don't talk to somebody that-- - I know. - Miss my wedding. - Same here. - Same here. - Same here. - Really? - Yes, 'cause they say they're coming, and you got to pay for that. - Yep, yep. - Yeah, pay for it. - Furlough seven, nine one nine, one oh six seven, eight seven seven, nine one nine, one oh six seven, would you pay to attend a wedding, or have you done something like this, or is this a new trend? Furlough seven, nine one nine, one oh six seven, eight seven seven, nine one nine, one oh six seven, call us now in Johnny's house. Not as hot as it has been, only a hundred. Now we're talking about this is cold front, 'cause it's gonna be a damn hundred. It's gonna be a hundred day, 80 right now, and a 50% chance of rain. Couple of say we're gonna get married, and we're gonna sell some tickets. $333 for you to attend our wedding. We're gonna be on a bus tour. It's gonna be a wedding reception. Well, they sell you total 210 tickets to it. So for them, it was a success. I wanna find out from you, would you pay to attend someone's wedding? All right, let's go to Orlando with ballet, ballet, good morning. - Good morning, how are you guys? - We are good, would you? Would you pay? - So it all varies, it all depends. So I actually am getting married at the end of the year, and this is like, I'm in a debate with me and my family, I've been yelling at them about. They just wanna invite so many people, and it's like, okay, if I wanna invite all these people, I'm fine with paying 200 people that I personally know. - Yes. - But if I don't know of you, I wanna charge $50. I really wanna charge people that I truly don't know $50, or if you wanna bring a plus, why $50? Like, I'm inviting my friends. I won't make my friends pay, like, hey, you guys have been there since the days, and yeah, I've been there for like everything. Why am I gonna make you pay? But if you're dating somebody new, and I don't know 'em, and you really wanna bring 'em, I would charge people $50 at me. - You're really thinking about that, right now, as we speak, you're thinking about that. - It is a big, so my venue holds 200 people, and everybody's mad that I totally wanna bring this person. I'm like, I don't know them. Like, somebody wants to bring their grandparents. I'm like, why are you bringing your grandparents to my way? Will they not get person one? Okay, but have we met them? No, we don't, not what you mean, we don't hear. - So for my $50, do I get open bar? - You get whatever, you get anything that everybody else gets. - Okay, great. Is it open bar? (laughs) - Like, is it a big delight in everything? It's like, I don't know everybody. - I don't know people. - Okay, okay, belly, check this out. You and I, we've been friends for about five years, right? We're cool, and you invite me now. You don't know my plus one, 'cause I don't really know myself, but I'm gonna bring somebody 'cause it's a win. You gonna make me pay $50 for her? - Yeah. - Oh damn, I ain't goin' in, I ain't goin' weird close. - And you can't commit to open bar either? - But like, but what if she gave you the option it's either you pay for it or she can't come? - Why can't, we're a couple. - Do you know how many friends you just set you down for that? - Say what, right? - You just said you barely knew. - I know, but we're-- - Are you gonna marry forever? - Well, I didn't wanna sit here and look at pictures of your ex when I'm looking at it. Oh, there goes Johnny, you guys. (laughing) - That's so funny. - You know what, belly, I ain't goin'. - Listen, there's people that are lookin' at my wedding pictures saying, oh, well, I couldn't last. - Don't know if you're saving you money. - Hey, but I thought we were friends though, belly. I thought we were friends. - We were friends that you don't need to bring your plus one that you don't even know. But I'ma know a well that the wedding, you know how people get wedded. - Everyone brings a date to a wedding. - Yeah! - What you do, you bring a date? - No, 90 more, nowadays people literally put that if you don't, if the bride and groom don't, don't leave your plus one, or if there's not a ring on it, you can't bring your plus one. - Wow! - No, that was a big thing. - A lot of people, my friend went to Dominican Republic for a wedding, and her friend knew her husband, and they're like, nope, you can't bring it. - Ooh, wow, I mean, weddings are expensive. They are expensive. - Yeah. - You just freed up my Saturday, so I'm good. - Wow! - And Belly ain't got no shame in her game, now! - No! - Now! - After a year planning this, I've been so stressed out with both sides of the family. Like, I don't know, I throw you feet, but why do we have 200 people? - Yes, that's how I felt. - My friend is already coming to this wedding, and I got excited, he's here, so I might not get paid for my anxiety 'cause I'm not putting on me. - I can't even get a rum and coke for my $50 damn. - Yeah, whatever everybody else gets. - That means no, 'cause you haven't said yet that it's open bar, so it means I get nothing. Like, everybody else gets nothing. - She said yes, she said yes. - Hey, hey, Belly. - Hey, Belly. - Belly, I'm just saying, you know me, and it's only $50, go on, kick it in, so I can bring this date. - There's a VIP guest list or something, like. - My venue said, only invite people, you're willing to pay $50, for if you want to eat what's done, so if you're willing to pay for their meal, invite them. - Oh my God, that's what my wedding planner said. - What is the venue? What is the venue had to do with this? This is our friendship, Belly. What do you have to do with the venue? - If my friendship mattered, you'd be like, forget the side piece, I'm coming. - Who said she was a side piece? Dang, where'd that come from? - Me too. - I just said, maybe we just started dating. - Yeah, but it's actually a side piece. - You don't know her. - Yeah, you don't know her then. - Well, that's 'cause we just, you know, you've been busy with the plan and you had a chance to meet her. - Okay, would you spend $50 on dinner for her? - Yes! - Okay, well then you could give her $50. - That's so true, so that's so true. - 'Cause what you're doing, man, is paying. - You're paying this. - Is paying for her to get back me. - You're basically paying for dinner for her. - You had to open drinks. She's probably gonna be drunk by the end of the night. You know what that means. - No, you're gonna lose another little bit. - No, you're gonna lose another little bit. - Y'all just gotta do me and Belly. - You know what, Belly? You know what? Let Brown and Ray come 'cause I ain't coming. - That's fine, Belly. - That's fine about me. So you'll give your $50 to Red Lobster, but you won't give it to Belly, see? - No, I ain't giving it to Belly, 'cause Belly invited me. - I got a plus one, no. - Nope, not on mine, and so now I guess, if it's a Johnny, no plus one for you. (laughing) - So is it about the money, or is it about people bringing side pieces and being in pictures? - It sounds like both. - So it's about everything. So I can't be with the whole bunch of people. So it's like, okay, bad enough, I gotta get married, but it's 200 people. So I get overwhelmed in ages, and my venue only holds 200. Now, if it goes over, if it goes over one person, I have to pay a $3,000 or $6,000, just for one person going over 200. So at that point, we're gonna go over to 200, - Okay, I know we run out of time, Belly. I know you haven't planned a lot of part. Just because you invite 200 people, 200 people ain't showing up. You invite 200 to get a 150, that's how it works. So what if-- - I invite 250 people right now. - Oh, damn. - Oh, wow, okay, okay, okay, okay, all right. - Now, what if Johnny changes his mind? Can he pay cover at the door for his girl? - Wow. (laughing) - Right at this, that's cool, y'all. - This got nothing to do with you. (laughing) - Belly, you took up all the time we have, nobody else to talk to. - Just remember, it's your day, all jokes aside, it's your day. - But you know what, Belly? - Everybody, keep saying that this way, it's my family's day, I'm just there. - Listen, I just want you to walk down and I'll smile and look and open and say, damn, Johnny ain't here. That's what I want you to do. - On your big day, okay? - But you know who especially is not here, his plus one. - Or you can walk down the aisle and go, who is that? (laughing) Well, congratulations and I hope everything works out for you, okay? - Thank you. - Thank you for calling, you're a lot of fun, Belly. Take care. - Thank you, bye. - She's real with it. - Yeah. - She's 100% real with it. Wow, hey, now the school is in session, I'm just kind of curious, what does your daily schedule look like? - A little chicken head to away. (laughing) - I'm dating a full-fledged woman, I used that as an example. (laughing) - No, the one you're dating now, perhaps, because you know, you mean something. - Back in the day. - You said a girl, you barely know that, you said. - Yeah, I did say, I did use that as an example. It's gonna be a heat index of 100 today and a 50% chance of rain. All right, I'm just kind of curious, now that school is in, what is your daily schedule? Because now you're starting to get into a routine of what you do every day. And mine, I mean, it's nothing I can do, is it is what it is. I'll leave here, I'll go home for a couple of minutes, maybe an hour, then I'll go get in the car line about 1/30, and I'll sit there till 2/20, till the bell rings, and he comes out about 2/28/30, I know, 'cause I got an in the car to do, except time it. Then I'll go, we'll go home, he'll do his homework, I'll take a nap for about an hour, and then I'll have to get up and start making dinner. And then I'll make dinner, and we have dinner at five. Then he does, I'll clean up the kitchen and get everything done. And then I'll probably go to bed around 8/30, 9 o'clock, and do it all over again. All over, it's like, what's that movie, Groundhog Day? - Groundhog Day, yeah. - Every single day, right, what's your schedule? - So obviously, I come here, and then after I come here, I try to either go to the gym or I run errands. - That's the thing, I gotta squeeze the gym in, I don't know how. - I know. - It's 'cause something has to, I gotta get some rest. - If you don't go right after here, that's my problem. If I don't go right after work, I won't go. - Yeah. - But I'll go either to the gym, but if I'm tired, then I'll go home and rest, I'll run some errands, I'll pick up the kids. I'm trying to think about what time I pick up the kids, because-- - Is it the same time as a different? - It's different, like yesterday I picked them up around three, and then I'll pick 'em up when the dismissal is, or I'll wait until they're in aftercare for a little bit. - Yeah, 'cause I mean, aftercare, if it's still the same, goes till six. - Yes. - Yeah, so you pick 'em up at three. So they're only there for like 45 minutes? - They're a little bit, yeah. - Yeah, just because I mean, it's the first week, so maybe like later on it's gonna change like throughout the year. - In the beginning, when myself was at age, I picked him up at 10 minutes or six. - Oh gosh. - He was having fun now. - Well, yeah. - And that's the thing, like they see all their friends that aren't in their classrooms throughout the day, so that's really cool that they have that, and they get mad when you pick 'em up early, but after I pick 'em up, I take 'em home, and then we kinda like relax, I'll make dinner, I'll get 'em ready for bed, and then go to bed, and then come get all over again. - So, but with co-parenting, like my wife and I, or my ex-wife and I switch back and forth. So that's what we do. - Now, Brian, you're pretty much the same, but you remember yours back in the day? - Well, the morning was not a problem for me, 'cause I was here, so yeah. I used to get out of here as quickly as I could, and try to catch a nap. If I didn't catch a nap, then I knew I wasn't gonna be able to take one before the car ride a line, 'cause I had a certain time I had to be out of the house. - Yeah. - You get to the car ride a line. - One, people don't understand, one minute different, either way, it was a big difference. - Huge difference. - One minute, just one minute. - So I would be like, did he have the anxiety of watching the car, man, I can't play down now, 'cause I don't, and so I get to the car rider line, then I would set my alarm for winning school, but just in case I fell asleep in the car ride a line. And then when my son got older, though, and he started playing football, then I didn't have to worry about anything, 'cause then I didn't have to pick him up until like six o'clock after football prep. - Oh, that was perfect. - Which was nice, but now I don't even think anything of it. - Brian has his little smirk on his face. - He's glorious. - We start talking about car lines and stuff like that. He goes, yeah, I remember that. - Now I've transitioned to having a grown ass roommate. He was also my son. - Yes. - So there's that. There's still a little difference, but I don't have a schedule to worry about. - I love the thing you call it. He's like, hey, so what's for dinner? - Oh, yeah. - Yeah. - What were we eating on tonight? I'm just kind of curious. - He works at a damn grocery store. He'll text me if I'm weren't talking about, hey, what's for dinner? I'm like, well, you at a grocery store. - Right? - The world is your oyster, my friend. Or whatever you want for dinner. And he's at a good grocery store. - Oh, my name is like, hey, you know what's for dinner? Some of that chicken you bringin' home. - Yeah. - That's what's for dinner tonight. - He's like, y'all ain't makin' nothin'. (laughing) - No. - How about you make me a sub real quick? - Yeah. And I want some lettuce tomatoes and put the oil and pebbles on vinegar on there. That's what I want, man. I wanna find out what is your schedule like now that the kids are in school.

Hey, Ellen, good morning. - Good morning. - All right, so what's your schedule like? - So I work at night. So I start work at 11.30 p.m. I end at 8 a.m. But with school, I'm actually these bit passives. I've been ending at seven. But seven me and my girls haul butt to school. Take 45 minutes to get there 'cause we can get them in another school called buy. 45 minutes back, then I need to get home, clean up some things, go to sleep, wait for about four to five hours, wake up, drive 45 minutes, pick them up, drive 45 minutes back, get home, make dinner, do everything, and then start work at 11.30. - Oh my goodness. Man, so you gotta sit in the car line too. - Yeah. - You're a warrior. - I think forever, I think forever and it takes forever to get there. The traffic here in Davenport is horrendous. So it's like-- - I feel like it's horrendous everywhere. It's terrible. - But now that I think at the Labor Day, traffic is gonna be a little less than Davenport 'cause people are still on vacation, you know? - I hope so, you know, 'cause I used to live in Orlando. I was in Orlando my whole life and we just moved two months ago and I lived near the millennia area and it was very skill. I would take the girls to school and it would be like two minutes, like five minutes to school. And the car line is always long, yes, but it's just a drive there. It's like 45 minutes and back is like crazy for school. - Well listen, Ellen, make sure you get some, put some time in there for some rest for yourself, girl. - I know, I need to. - No, I don't know if you know that school is only being in for about three days, I understand. - Just thought it. All right, I didn't want to bring that to your attention or anything. From Kissimmee, it's Elena, good morning. - Good morning, how are y'all? - Good, let's see how you schedule. - Well, we're up by 430. I have a high schooler, she writes the bus. So she's up by 430 to do her hair, make up whatever. - Wow. - We're out the door by six to get her on the bus. - Okay. - And then I come back and at 620, I wake up my elementary to get her, get her fed and get her out the door by seven. So we're out the door by seven, get an, Heartline is crazy to get in there. And then by time I get back by 7, 15, 7, 20, I wake up my middle schoolers, take him to get him dressed, get him out the door by eight to the bus. And then I do what I gotta do there in the day. At 215, my daughter gets home from the bus in high school. And an hour later, it's my elementary. And then an hour later, it's my middle schooler. And then at six o'clock, we're at the football field from six o'clock to eight 30. - Whoa. - So how much, one-on-one time? - My son. - Do you think that you have with your kids? How much one-on-one time do you actually think that you have with your kids? - To be honest, maybe an hour or so, one-on-one, because that's how busy we are. - Yeah, yeah. - High schooler does after school activities. So sometimes I don't see her until I get home after eight 30, with my son being in cough warner. We know that that schedule is crazy for a mom. - Yeah. - So it's insane, but I'd rather keep them busy than in a day. - Yeah. - This counseling is called Parenting in the Car. That's why you do your parenting. - Yes. - I'm driving them from one place to one. - It really is. - Yes. - You're homework in the car? I bought a little desk. I don't know. Have y'all seen the one? The food trays that you stick on your steering wheel? - Yeah. - Yeah. - I bought one that my daughter, Tiff, does her homework on while we're waiting for football to finish? - Wow. - Anything we have to do is send the car. - Isn't that crazy? - You know, if I've ever complained about now having enough time, Lord, please get me. - Yeah, seriously. - I can't. - Wow. Wow, Selena, you hold on. Be what they say, man. - Excel Mobile powered by Attorney Daniel and Inter Wreck. Need a check? It's a no-brainer, just call Attorney Daniel. And someone said, basically, six kids, I live in the car. - Yeah. - With all the drop offs and the pickups. Then a couple of teachers, someone said my schedule is basically sun up to sundown. She's a teacher, so she has to be out of the house by six 30. I leave at 350 in the afternoon and then just deal with her kids, baseball practice and all that stuff. Then the second job, 'cause teaching don't pay enough. And she don't get home until 1.30 in the morning. - No, I didn't. - And then someone else, 4.30, wake up, 5 a.m., I work out, 6 a.m. out the door, 7 a.m., kids ready for school. Then I teach all day, then I head home, I do all the dinner stuff, get everything ready, and then I'm online for my second job that goes until nine o'clock at night. - Oh my goodness. - There's so many teachers that have two jobs. - Well, the teacher that works till one in the morning, we're gonna give her a $50 gift certificate.
