Summary
This week, the girls are back with another advice column after recapping Jaci’s quick Vegas trip and catching up on life. The listener submissions, centered around determining who might be overreacting in a situation, sparked a lot of strong opinions, especially around friendships and the weird expectations people place on each other during big life moments. One listener writes in after her friend tells her not to get engaged during the same year as her wedding because she doesn’t want the attention taken away from her. This sends Jaci and Chelsey into a full discussion about “wedding year” culture and whether anyone actually owns an entire calendar year for ANY major life events. The girls also get into questions about navigating changing friendships, feeling unsupported during major life transitions, and figuring out when someone is crossing the line with green card marriages.

| 0:09.7 | Hello, hello, and welcome back to the What We Said podcast, everybody. |
| 0:14.2 | Hey. |
| 0:14.9 | Hope you're having a fantastic Thursday today. |
| 0:18.7 | I know I am. |
| 0:19.7 | I know I'm having a wonderful Thursday, personally. I feel like we're |
| 0:24.6 | reunited after a while, but hasn't been that long, has it? Just a short weekend. Yeah. Or a long weekend, |
| 0:30.6 | I guess. I lived a, I lived a few lives in Vegas this weekend. Yeah, Vegas was so random and also felt like it was so long. It kept getting brought up, but it was only like a day. I know. I know. I was getting asked to do a lot of social, a lot of social commitments during the 24 hours that I was in Vegas for a work thing. Sorry, now I'll be in Vegas. I know. It was constantly that. I'm like, I'll be in Vegas. I'll be in Vegas. Tyson goes, damn, how long will you be there? I go, 24 hours. He thought it was a different weekend than it was. Anyway, yes, Leif and I went to Vegas for a quick side quest, a little work thing. And it really was less than 24 hours. got in at you flew there or you drove oh flew |
| 1:14.6 | you flew thing. And it really was less than 24 hours. We got in at our hotel or you drove. Oh, |
| 1:14.2 | flew. At like 11 p.m. at night and then came home the next day at 3 p.m. or something was our flight? |
| 1:21.7 | In and out. In and out. And I don't know. Did you get the casinos? Oh, of course we did. Lost $100 within 10 minutes. Only 100. Wow. You guys are being very conservative. That's our max. I haven't been to Vegas in a long time, but can't make much off 100. I mean, come on. I know. That's what life's saying. But I'm like, you got to keep going and that's the fun of it. You lose all your money. Well, also, we didn't play blackjack or anything, which I think that's kind of, we just did slot machines. |
| 1:46.6 | It's like, it's a losing game. |
| 1:47.7 | I know. |
| 1:47.8 | I just love all the slot. So it was fun. It was a little moment, but happy to be back. I don't know if there's anywhere that I'm like less aligned with than Las Vegas. I must be honest. Like, shout out to my Vegas queens. If any of you guys live in Vegas, I feel like it's a very specific place to grow up and to be around. And I don't doubt that it could be fun in the right circumstance. Like, Leif and I, and it was fun. Don't get me wrong. It was very quick. It wasn't, you know, we weren't. It's not like we were staying there for even multiple nights. It's a very specific vibe. But it's a very specific vibe and like me and Leif we're talking about the way that it would be fun and it's like a very specific. And what was that? It's like you have to go with a few friends who are the right vibe and you have to gamble. Yes. And also you have to have a dinner reservation somewhere that you're excited to eat and have plans to go to a show that you're excited to see. I was going to say, Vegas, great shows. Yeah. Amazing shows. But you have to, that's where I saw BTS. Amazing memory. Yes. And then if your whole weekend's kind of revolved around the show, then everything else is just extra. You know, all the... Exactly. They do have great, like, hotels with great pools and, you know, all that stuff. We actually still have our family reunions, oddly enough, in Las Vegas. Really? Go stay at a hotel, like, near the strip. And my huge LDS family would go to Vegas. No one drank. No one gambled. We would just go and |
| 3:11.5 | like go to the Eminem factory and go shopping and like we had just like a good meeting point for |
| 3:17.8 | everyone or something. I guess. But I think all of us were like, hmm. Interesting. Like we could |
| 3:22.8 | be going on the beach, but it's just truly the most over 10 year olds running around, interesting. Like, we could be going on the beach, but. |
| 3:27.2 | It's just truly the most over-stimulating place. |
| 3:31.8 | Like, we're walking through and, yeah, I mean, I won't go into it. |
| 3:35.5 | I was talking about it on my vlog and I'm really not even meaning to complain. |
| 3:40.0 | The actual reason we went was the show that we went to see and I was working there. |
| 3:41.3 | And the show was amazing. |
