Hope you enjoy. 
Okay so guys, we have a royal 

9
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,280
wedding to talk about. 
So it is April 29th, 2011, it's 

10
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:46,280
8:00 AM and the Queen has 
bestowed upon William and Kate 

11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,520
their new titles. 
They both become So they become 

12
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,480
the Duke and Duchess of 
Cambridge, the Earl and Countess

13
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:58,200
of Strathorn, and the Baron and 
Baroness of. 

14
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,160
How do you say this, 
Carrickfergus? 

15
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:02,240
Just don't hate me. 
I hope that's right. 

16
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,360
It's. 
My guess is this is. 

17
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,560
The wedding is taking place at 
Westminster Abbey in London in 

18
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:12,520
front of 1900 guests for the 
ceremony. 

19
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:16,800
Meanwhile, there are 600 guests 
invited to a lunch reception at 

20
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,320
Buckingham Palace hosted by the 
Queen after the ceremony. 

21
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,640
And then there's only 300 guests
who were invited to the evening 

22
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,080
dinner hosted by Prince Charles.
So I would say like the evening 

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,040
dinner is like the wedding wet. 
Like the reception, That's when 

24
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:37,040
they dance and kind of do more 
of like the party stuff and just

25
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:42,480
300 people, which is a lot for a
wedding, but for them it's kind 

26
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:43,800
of intimate. 
Crazy. 

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,520
There's 600 people at the lunch.
That's a lot. 

28
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:49,800
I know that's like. 
A full. 

29
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:55,120
Camp of People Summer camp. 
But so some notable guests at 

30
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,560
the wedding were David and 
Victoria Beckham, Sir Elton John

31
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,920
and David Furnish, Brown 
Atkinson who plays Mr. Bean, Guy

32
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,440
Ritchie. 
Interestingly, if you guys 

33
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,680
listen to the last episode, 
William has a couple exes that 

34
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,280
came up a couple times and three
of them actually were invited to

35
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,360
the wedding. 
Jeka Craig who was the 

36
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:18,040
environmentalist that he dated 
when he was 16 was invited. 

37
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,640
His romance, his summer flank 
from when he was 18. 

38
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:26,760
Rose Farquhar was invited and 
his summer romance from when he 

39
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,960
was 19. 
Arabella Musgraves also got an 

40
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:34,760
invite to the big event and he 
even invited. 

41
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:36,920
I don't know if you guys 
remember but there was an 

42
00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:41,120
heiress who he was pursuing 
while him and Kate were on a 

43
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,800
break named Isabella and Ants 
Reuther. 

44
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Go calathrop. 
She has a big name. 

45
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,360
She even got an invite to the 
wedding. 

46
00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:51,720
But you didn't know. 
She did. 

47
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:55,880
Oh, I mean it's the event of the
century like. 

48
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:57,960
I guess that's true. 
You know. 

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,400
But Carly, the country bumpkin I
know I was. 

50
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Just gonna say. 
I don't think so. 

51
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:07,600
Or maybe she wasn't it just like
didn't make the papers but. 

52
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,160
She didn't make the cut with all
this like she was the. 

53
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Best. 
I feel. 

54
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:19,000
Like, it's crazy to invite 
access to the wedding, but when 

55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,960
it's like Westminster Abbey with
all those people and they're so 

56
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:28,280
far away from like where the 
altar is, it's like, OK, I guess

57
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,000
I can kind of. 
See why maybe they'd be invited 

58
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:33,760
and it's not that big of. 
A. 

59
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,320
Not that big of a problem. 
I think if they went to the 

60
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:40,800
reception with only the like 300
people, maybe that's a little. 

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,840
Different but. 
For the Westminster Abbey 

62
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,360
wedding part, where it's like 
the wedding of the century, I 

63
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:49,680
think it's I think it's fine 
for. 

64
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,160
His. 
Exes to have gone. 

65
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,240
Yeah, and like, at this point, 
he's moved on. 

66
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,400
Yeah. 
You know, if I was Kate, I 

67
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,280
wouldn't really feel threatened 
by an ex in the audience. 

68
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,600
Hopefully they were in the back 
row like. 

69
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,320
Really, really in the back. 
For them, it's probably more of 

70
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,560
like, yeah, like you want to be 
at because you are British and 

71
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,880
this is super cool to be at the 
royal wedding. 

72
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:16,680
It doesn't happen so often. 
So you're not even thinking of 

73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:19,040
it as being there to see your 
next. 

74
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:21,079
You're thinking of it as the 
Prince and the Princess. 

75
00:04:22,079 --> 00:04:26,040
But I asked you guys on Patreon 
very shortly before recording, 

76
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,240
do you consider yourself close 
friends with any of your exes? 

77
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:32,880
And by close I mean close enough
to attend each other's weddings.

78
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:40,080
And 16% of you said yes that you
are and 84% said no you are not.

79
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,760
And I got a couple responses. 
I hope it's OK if I read them 

80
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:45,200
guys. 
Allison said. 

81
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,920
I guess I wouldn't go anyway 
because I hate spending money on

82
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:52,440
weddings but have been invited. 
Which it does make me. 

83
00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:56,960
It does make me think of our 
last or a couple episodes ago, 

84
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,320
Nina de Brev and Ian 
Somerhalder, how she was 

85
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,760
invited. 
But The funny thing about that 

86
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,440
listening back, Caitlin, you 
were like, oh, it was just a 

87
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,880
private small wedding with just 
a few family and friends. 

88
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,360
But it's like, why did Nina make
the cut then for the? 

89
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:18,680
Wedding, I guess because like 
the whole cast was invited so 

90
00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,680
that's why she kind of probably.
Like the main characters at 

91
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:22,760
least. 
Yeah, yeah. 

92
00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:26,520
It was like the main cast of 
characters were invited, like 

93
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,560
all of them, and they all went. 
So that's why she kind of made 

94
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,720
the cut. 
Yeah, Muna said. 

95
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,400
I once heard a quote that stuck 
with me. 

96
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,800
The older I get, the more I 
found it to be true. 

97
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,680
If 2 lovers can remain friends, 
either they are still in love or

98
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,200
they never really were. 
I will say there are totally 

99
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,920
exceptions to this, but if you 
think about it, there are some 

100
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:52,600
truths to it. 
I love I want to repeat that 

101
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,680
next episode. 
I know. 

102
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:01,080
Oh, for your episode. 
Ooh little sneaky Yanika said. 

103
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,200
Not close to my ex. 
We were together for 3 1/2 years

104
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,800
but very close to his little 
sister. 

105
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,480
She was I think 10 when we met 
and she has been like a little 

106
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:11,720
sister to me and I still 
consider her family. 

107
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,480
We meet regularly and text 
almost daily but I never see my 

108
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,680
ex and he's not really a topic 
that naturally comes up when we 

109
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,280
meet or chat. 
Wow. 

110
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:21,400
That's nice. 
She was. 

111
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:25,440
Able to keep the friendship 
yeah, it's really sad when you 

112
00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:29,000
break up with someone and you no
longer get to see their friends 

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:31,040
or family that you might have 
liked so. 

114
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,080
It's nice. 
And then one more response, 

115
00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:36,240
Heidi said. 
The XM friends with is someone I

116
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:41,280
dated when I was 19 to 20. 
I think we see, I think we see 

117
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:43,800
that time together as being 
young and still turned just 

118
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:46,880
transitioning into adulthood. 
Our breakup was sad but 

119
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,560
positive. 
And after two years of no 

120
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:53,440
contact, which no contact you 
know it can really be super 

121
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:57,200
healing, we randomly crossed 
paths again and became solid 

122
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,120
friends. 
Now we're close to our 30s and 

123
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,080
both had serious relationships. 
Since then we are still good 

124
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:05,920
friends and do stuff together 
because we discovered that being

125
00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:08,840
great friends doesn't always 
translate to a great romantic 

126
00:07:08,840 --> 00:07:10,960
partner. 
Honestly consider him a friend 

127
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,600
for life but have been a part of
each other's major life events 

128
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,080
just like any other close 
friend. 

129
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,160
But the thought of being 
romantically involved again? 

130
00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:19,840
Yuck. 
Like emoji? 

131
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,520
No, thank you. 
I think it has to be that way. 

132
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,800
All right, I will have to stop 
the episode right there. 

133
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,520
Thank you so much for listening 
to the teaser. 

134
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,560
