About this listen

1. INTRO

Hosts: J.R. and Kevin

· Quick greeting and setup: “So… where’s Lana?”

· Reveal the big news: Launa is getting married — this weekend!

· Mention that this couldn’t be discussed on-air before because she wanted privacy.

· Tone setup: Excited, slightly teasing, full of friendly chaos energy.


2. BACKSTORY: THE LONG ENGAGEMENT

· Reflect on when Launa and Paul got engaged (during or around COVID/2020).

· Joke about how long it took to actually reach this day.

· Compare to J.R.’s own long engagements.

· Talk about when they first realized this wedding was really happening (4–5 months ago).

Soundbite moment: “I honestly never thought this day would come!”


3. THE INVITATION DRAMA

· Share the “fallout invite” story — how Kevin and J.R. got their invites.

· Discuss being invited to both the ceremony and reception (after some confusion).

· Joke about the long drive to the venue (48 miles away).

· Lighthearted commentary about being “late additions” but still honored guests.


4. PRE-WEDDING CHAOS: LAUNA DRAMA STRIKES AGAIN

· Discuss potential things that could go wrong (classic “Launa luck”).

· The FAA flight reduction affecting guests traveling from Minnesota.

· Tie in the idea that even politics somehow managed to get involved in Launa’s wedding.

· Reassure listeners: it’ll probably go beautifully… but we’ll see.


5. WEDDING DYNAMICS: THE CAST OF CHARACTERS

· Discuss Paul’s kids (ages, how they’ll handle the day).

· Minnesota crew: “a wild bunch” — the vacation mindset and pre-gaming jokes.

· Ceremony location reveal: outside a bar → cue laughter and banter about pre-gaming.

· Predicting the people-watching goldmine.


6. BEHIND THE SCENES: WHO’S RUNNING THIS SHOW?

· Question: Does Launa have a day-of planner?

· Realization: She doesn’t — but the venue has coordinators.

· Comparison to the hosts’ own wedding planning experiences.

· Hopeful takeaway: “As long as the bar is open, it’ll be fine.”


7. THE BAND STORY

· The wild “double payment” situation:

o Launa paying one musician not to show up.

o Paying another band she actually wants.

· Classic “Launa move” commentary.

· Speculation: “This band better be worth it.”

Comedy beat: Co-hosts promise to “take notes” during the performance.


8. WILL PAUL CRY?

· Both hosts predict: “Yes, 100%.”

· Share Paul’s sweet texts before the wedding.

· Contrast with the “Bird Theory” story — showing their playful dynamic.

· Reflection: “They’re perfect for each other in the most chaotic way.”


9. WEDDING DAY EXPECTATIONS

· Predict what could go wrong (Launa panic moment, forgotten items, etc.).

· People-watching segment — who’s bringing who (Kristin & Jenny).

· Anticipation of the Minnesota friends’ behavior.

· Mutual agreement: this will be the event for people-watching.


10. DRESS CODE & FINAL THOUGHTS

· What the hosts are wearing (Tommy Bahama jokes).

· Casual beach vibe — Paul’s khakis and flip-flops.

· Wrap-up: “Every wedding is different, and this one is pure Launa.”
