The gals are joined by Brooke's pal, Paul Caiola, who dishes about his hilarious experiences with weddings! He shares a slew of funny stories, including purposefully getting his dad too drunk at a wedding, chasing after a drunk friend in their underwear after Brooke's reception, and accidentally getting everyone wasted at his own wedding!
There were so many stories to tell, that we had to break up his recording into two episodes. So stay tuned next week to hear Paul give out some sage and snarky advice while going through listeners' confessionals.
If you like boxer briefs or dangerous blood alcohol levels, this episode is for you!
