This is the Brand and Sherry podcast. Good news. Goats are defending us. They are saving us. It's a true story. Just saw this from the BBC. Like in the American South, for instance, there are invasive species of weeds and plants that are growing and they're taking over everything they realize that if they

just deploy large numbers of goats they'll just eat that stuff and they'll save the whole area

so there's a guy who has a truckload of goats and he goes around and he's like these are rock

stars these goats are saving us so that's all they're just eating they're

doing what goats do all the time they eat heroically eating doing their thing everybody's got

a thing that's their thing we salute that i for one welcome them so i'm not going to just

laugh about them.

Yeah, so you did a big study about weddings and how much you spend on the wedding.

The average, I can't believe this.

Okay.

But they say the average is $30,000 for a wedding.

Oh, I totally believe that. Okay.

Yes.

Well, our wedding costs enough that somebody's out there spending like 200K just to make

up for hours and bring it up to that average because that's amazing.

Right.

They do find there's a strong correlation between expensive weddings and divorces.

This is not me making this up.

I've bought this for a while.

Now this is to say, you have to make the distinction here, correlation is not causation. Right. It doesn't mean that if you have an expensive wedding, you're more likely to get divorced. That's not what it means. But it does mean it's correlated. Like, maybe there's a reason that people have big blowouts, and it has to do with maybe not understanding what marriage is actually like,

what marriage is like, not the wedding.

Right.
