| 0:00.0 | Hey, this is Sam. |
| 0:00.9 | This is John. |
| 0:01.6 | We're the ancient okay story time podcast host. |
| 0:05.0 | And we have some ancient wisdom in the stories coming up. |
| 0:07.6 | If you want to hear the wisdom from two old heads that know more than they know what to do with, |
| 0:12.3 | you're going to have to wait for a quick message from our sponsors for the next two minutes or so. |
| 0:16.8 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:19.3 | Guaranteed human. |
| 0:21.1 | I was asked to gain weight so I don't outshine the bride. |

| 1:00.4 | own stories, go to the R-slash OK Storytime subreddit. I agreed to do it only because Jeff has always |
| 1:06.0 | been like a big brother to me. And he explained that Julie couldn't find another bridesmaid. She needed four. She's |
| 1:12.5 | rather reserved. Some might say witchy and judgmental and doesn't have a lot of friends. She doesn't |
| 1:19.1 | have any sisters either. So even though I knew it would be costly, it's adding up to around $2,000 |
| 1:25.5 | now. I did not regret the decision at all until today. |
