| 0:00.0 | Alright, and we're on WNYC, and now we'll wrap up today's show with what we might call |
| 0:15.7 | a little bit of fun. We want to hear your best gossip, you know, the piping hot tea, the |
| 0:20.9 | stories that usually come out when you're two mimosas into brunch with your closest friends. |
| 0:26.3 | So listeners have you overheard any hot gossip lately, or maybe you heard a piece of gossip |
| 0:30.6 | that changed how you interact with someone close to you or how you move through certain |
| 0:35.1 | settings. Now's your chance to share a choose detail from your personal life. Although |
| 0:40.3 | please keep all parties involved in anonymous, we don't want to send mobs after the subjects |
| 0:44.7 | of your stories. Call or text us at 212433WNYC. Now, why do I ask? Well, there's a trend |

| 1:30.3 | were all talking about how they were in their friend's wedding a few weeks ago. At first, |
| 1:34.4 | it was sort of tame gossip, talking about how they didn't like the cut of their dresses |
| 1:39.2 | or the color of their dresses. But then they got sinister, very quickly. Main girl, the |
| 1:44.7 | blonde, she was kind of the ringleader of this dynamic, and she was talking about how |
| 1:49.4 | she felt so ugly on her day, and it was so unfair that the day of her friend's wedding |
| 1:54.3 | that she was in was all about her, the bride, and not about the bride's maids. Then this |
