But I'm sure most of you know, it's Gary and Teresa, the latest happy couple from the Bachelor franchise.
Starting point is 00:02:42 And I'm so excited to talk to them, had such a great time at the wedding and then, of course, meeting them on Golden Bachelor. So I'm really excited to welcome them to the AFOG podcast. Okay, so how is life going? How's the move going? You're in the process of moving to New Jersey, yes or no? No. We're in the process of trying to figure out how to reconfigure Teresa's house. Oh, that's right.
Starting point is 00:03:12 That's right. For more long-term stays. Because it's like I stayed there for a week or more last week and I had to come back home. And it's like her house is tiny and her bedroom is really tiny and it's hard to work around. and I was working out of a living out of a suitcase. So she has the room that she's using for her office. That's the largest room. And we started thinking, okay, we could fit a king size bed in here.
Starting point is 00:03:40 We need to put up some shades and things like that. So she's figuring that out. And as soon as she orders stuff, like blinds in a bed, platform, whatever, then I'm going to take off and go and I'll do the grunt work to put it all together. Yeah. We're going to make, you know what, I, when my husband passed away, I went out of the main bedroom and made it into an office and went into this tiny room with a, you know, this is a full-sized bed. And so now I've got to get, you know, king-sized bed, go back into that room and make it and make, and get shades to make it, you know, because it's blindingly sunny in this room. Yeah, just take, it's the room I'm in now.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Like, it really is supposed to be the master bedroom. Got it. Yeah, I'm going to change it. So, yeah, sorry. So fine. I love that. Are you excited about that? Or does that, is that like, bittersweet, like, mixed feelings? No. I'm really excited about it. I'm very excited. But it's like I had to go get samples for the Roman shades. Like, I'm going to put Roman shades up. So I got samples for that. And I got to, you know, as soon as that comes, I'll make a decision really quickly. And then measure and put them up and then, you know, move it all around and try to find the best. Do you know good mattresses? That's what we need is a good mattress. Oh, actually, I love our mattress. Oh, good.
Starting point is 00:04:58 It's not like I work with this company, but it's, I think it's called Beauty Rest Black. Oh, wow. So comfortable, I said. Okay. And they're pretty expensive. Okay. But I feel like you need to invest in a good mattress. I think so too.
Starting point is 00:05:14 Because you spend so much time sleeping, right? That's right. Absolutely. I couldn't agree. I couldn't agree more. Or just like lounging around, like, you know. relaxing in your bed reading so yeah tell me we need to go back to the wedding let's reverse okay let's do it such an amazing weekend um are you still on a high you guys
Starting point is 00:05:38 yes like are you yes it was like a fairy tale wasn't it like amazing it was amazing i mean mindy wife like how can you not have uh you know an amazing night many ways yes seriously she went way above and beyond whatever i said or we said and really seriously listened and didn't like say what she wanted it was just when i saw those flowers i was like wow like how amazing how incredible and then the table clause and i don't know you weren't there for the um rehearsal dinner that was so beautiful too and oh the china and the silverware and the glasses and then the band And, you know, that nobody stopped dancing, right? That was so much fun.
Starting point is 00:06:27 Oh, my gosh, Gary. I will never forget dancing, of course, with your daughters, but especially Angie. And because we were, I don't know if she told you this or if I told you this, but during the, after the final rose, I was sitting, you know, with your family. And we, Angie and I shared a little, a little, a little moment. I think, oh, I said something to her, and she responded. And Jen goes, did you just call her a bitch? The answer was like, no, why would I have called her a bitch? And she's like, bad, bitch, you know.
Starting point is 00:07:07 And so from now on, like, we just, it's like a term of endearment between us. You bitch. I like that. She's pretty social. She's pretty lovable, you know. she's amazing she's amazing so we were like we'll see you on the dance floor bitch yeah yeah yeah see who's got the move oh my gosh it was so much fun and then with your granddaughter i can't remember um which one but we had so much we were on the dance floor and we
Starting point is 00:07:34 were singing to each other it was just it was so much fun did you have a great time on the dance floor yeah oh my god yeah gary can tell you yes um it was it was in like non-stop dancing and but every single time I tried to go, stop just to get a breath. Then some young 30-year-olds are going, yay, let's keep up. Okay, so I'm just going to die on this dance floor, but it was, wow. There was not one slow dance, right? There wasn't. Except for yours.
Starting point is 00:08:03 Except for your, like, first dance, you know. First dance, that was it. And we were supposed to do this dance that we choreographed, but we never did it. We were afraid we weren't going to pull it off. Oh, no. It would have been funny if we did it wrong. too, you know? Like, that would have been just as funny. And no one would have known. As a dancer, you just, you just continue to go.
Starting point is 00:08:25 You know, you just go and you just dance and no one knows. I love that. Gary, is that your thing? Like, at weddings, would you be on the dance floor normally? Or is this Teresa thing? So, Teresa has influenced me to do it more, but it's not like I would shy away from it completely. yeah um but it's just nice to have a confident partner and totally it makes a big difference just a big difference i think you're so right we did do islands in the stream that wasn't so bad that wasn't i thought we did okay with that yeah right that wasn't love that song i love that
Starting point is 00:09:05 no that band was so good did tell me the story didn't mind tell you um yes i don't i don't care if you You don't know who they are, but. Yeah, no, I do. It was, okay, so they were proposing a different band, and she said, oh, no, no, not good enough. And she got the band that was, can I tell you, it was Justin Bieber's band for his wedding? Yes, I heard that. J.B. Projects, which he would have thought was Justin Bieber projects, but it wasn't. And they normally had nine members to the band, but they added three pieces, so they had three.
Starting point is 00:09:40 And they weren't just musicians, right? They were dancers. And they were performers. Yes. And, yeah. Okay, so I didn't realize. I thought they were the band that maybe, like, performed at Justin Bieber's wedding. They are like, he's like an employer.
Starting point is 00:09:57 He's like their agent, essentially. Oh, he is? Oh, no, I don't know that. No, I'm saying, no, he, they were the band that played at his wedding. I'm saying, you would think because the name is J.B., that it might be Justin Bieber, but they said no. They said no. That's their name of the band.
Starting point is 00:10:11 Yeah, that's a, just, I don't know what J.B stands for. I got it. And no, they were, they were phenomenal. Like, I had the best time. I don't, like for our wedding, I remember being on the dance floor until four in the morning because it was just so much fun. Like, you know, I wanted to celebrate. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:10:32 You guys did, you know. That's so great. You were there for the four in the morning. That's awesome. It's amazing. Okay, so what was your favorite memory from the wedding? It was really his daughters and my daughter's speeches. that was my favorite, I mean, besides Gary in our moments, but just hearing them, I mean,
Starting point is 00:10:52 I just bawled my eyes out when I heard what they said. It was so, so good and so heartfelt. And I, you know, it just made me melt, you know, hearing them and so sincere and then my daughter. And I, you know, I didn't put my son on the spot, you know, he just, he wouldn't have wanted that. He wouldn't like that. But we, so that people know, because I think, like, my mom or something was like, I just, I don't understand why they didn't have more of the family. And I was like, no, mom, they did, like, her son spoke, but they didn't show it. And I'm sure it was just because of, you know, whatever choice they were making or because it's a televised event and they can't have, you know. so um so for all of us who were in the audience or at as a guess yeah got to see the heartfelt um you know
Starting point is 00:11:46 emotions of your son too yeah that was very thank you and that yeah that was i think rob you're referring to rob that that was gary's son-in-law oh gosh yeah yeah and that he was wonderful and he said that he practiced that over and over and over and over again but he did such a great job and he could have done it on camera and then what they also didn't see were my three grandsons who went up to the mic you know during the ceremony and said that and that was a surprise to me you know my daughter oh i feel so bad because it was her birthday and we were supposed to have two cakes like we were having the main cake that gary picked out and then i actually put together this other concoction that was raspberry and lemon and she said i really thought you were going to have a
Starting point is 00:12:35 birthday cake for me, mom. I said, oh, I messed up. I missed up. Like, why didn't I do that? Like, oh, I should have. Yeah, it was her birthday. Darn it. But we, I did it later. So, you did it later. Yeah, I'm sure she'll forgive you or she has already. Yeah. Yes. Yeah, she has. Okay, Carrie, what was your favorite moment from the wedding? Well, even though I had my first look earlier in the day doing photos. You did? Yeah. I'll never forget turning around when I know Teresa is in the archway.
Starting point is 00:13:13 And I see her silhouetted in white against this, you know, the darkness of the night. And then watching her slowly come up the aisle, that's the best memory. You know, that's just one of those things that, you know, it just over and over I play it. Oh, thank you. That's so nice. I love that. I mean, come on. And as I was walking down the aisle, like, I was really trying to, we were both trying to just live in the moment and not even consider that we were on television.
Starting point is 00:13:47 We didn't. I don't think for a second. I even thought that. I just felt overwhelmed looking at everybody. And, yeah, I think we were able to do that. Yeah. It was good. It was great.
Starting point is 00:13:57 That's how I felt at my wedding. even though there were a million cameras around they did a really good job of like hiding them in the trees and although i do have a funny story so um when the when the ceremony ended i um we were standing up you know ready to walk away and you know that big huge camera that's on like a big yes yes probably like 15 feet tall or whatever um that huge a jib or boom or something. Yeah. And your brother, who I ended up meeting later, his wife, in the green, I think she was wearing like green sparkles or something. Yes. I noticed them because they, I hadn't met them before.
Starting point is 00:14:45 And I, I think I knew that they were not part of like Bachelor Nation. Like they, of course they part of it, but they hadn't been on the show, right? Yes, right. They were one of your guests and one of your friends or family members. And I'm watching them, and they're walking away, and they're having to, like, duck under the, like, jib and, like, walk around the camera equipment. And I was, like, how awkward for them to, like, how weird is it for them to meet at their friends or their family? I found out later, it was your brother. At their family member's wedding.
Starting point is 00:15:20 And I thought to myself, wow, that's probably how people felt at mine, that it was just awkward. But as the bride, I really, and maybe it's because the way that we met was with cameras in our face anyway, right? Yeah, yeah, maybe that's it. We got so used to it. I guess we got immune to it. It took me so long to get used to, I guess, yeah, after a while. But like you said, they did a great job of, like, hiding them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:48 How do you feel, Gary, about the cameras? No, I was going to say that spending time with my pickleball friends after I've gotten back home here, they've all had the same stories but they just knew it was part of the experience and they thought it was pretty fun watching you know how behind the scenes worked as well as the wedding that's so true yeah yeah
Starting point is 00:16:10 my boyfriend's professor is way too friendly and now I'm seriously suspicious oh wait a minute Sam maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit well Dakota it's back to school week on the okay story time podcast So, we'll find out soon. This person writes, My boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone. Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor, and they're the same age. And it's even more likely that they're cheating.
Starting point is 00:16:47 He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him? Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

I didn't even know you've been a pastor for over 10 years. I think culture is any space that you live in that develops you. On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us podcast, I sat down with Warren Campbell, Grammy winning producer, pastor, and music executive to talk about the beats, the business, and the legacy behind some of the biggest names in gospel, R&B, and hip-hop. This is like watching Michael Jackson talk about thoroughly before it happened.

Yeah. Well, you know, that has to be one of my favorite memories from the whole trip. You know, I got to play pickleball against Trista.
Starting point is 00:20:08 So, you know, not how many people get to say that, right? Yeah. Oh, my gosh, you're the cutest. I get to say I played pickleball with Gary because clearly I should not have been on that court that day because the last point. it was a freaking game point people so let me back up and say we saw you I think I was with blakesley because I stayed with my daughter for a couple extra days after the wedding just for a little mother daughter time and we saw you guys and I don't know if someone was talking about pickleball but I was like are you going to play can we play let's go play no you're so good I mean Gary's so good
Starting point is 00:20:48 you're so good game was so good yeah right at the last minute it was heartbreak King. It was so fine. So Blakesley, I walk over there and you guys are all over with your family and you're like, okay, do you want to play? And I'm like, yes, that's why I'm here. I love pickleball or playing. So I asked my daughter, because, you know, she's more of the like, you know, let's just play casually and, you know, let's just be cute, like swinging the pickleball rack or basketball. So I was like, I was like, is it okay if I play with them? Like, I felt bad because it was our mother-daughter weekend.
Starting point is 00:21:27 Can I go play this more serious game of football? I got a really good game here. So anyway, we play, and for everyone out there, Gary was playing with his granddaughter's boyfriend. Right, right? You had never played before. He'd never played before, but he's a college baseball player. Okay, so he was athletic.
Starting point is 00:21:52 Yeah, pretty athletic. Yeah, he was. And then one of Gary's pickleball friends who had had surgery recently, maybe. That was your partner? Yeah. Are you talking about your partner? That's actually Angie's boss. Oh, okay, yes, I knew that.
Starting point is 00:22:11 Angie told me that, yes. And it's, you know, Angie's husband, Rob and that guy, Brandon, were, you know, best of friends in college and ever since. Yeah. I love it. So we play this game and it was so much fun. Like I think in the beginning, you guys were killing us and then we kind of came back or something. The last freaking point, it's a game point. And I was like, oh my gosh, I've got this.
Starting point is 00:22:36 Like, got it. I totally went. Oh, that was such a shame. But I was so mad at myself and I threw myself down on the court. Yeah. Yeah, it was something that you really should have had. You knew you had it. And he was like, damn, it's so many.
Starting point is 00:22:54 You're playing such a great game. It was fun. So thank you, Gary, for allowing me to play. It was so much fun. That's a memory I hope I get to replay again sometime in the future, because that was really a lot of fun. And your smile never stops. I mean, that's an amazing thing.
Starting point is 00:23:14 Across the court, you're still smiling as big as you are right now. Yeah. You almost feel guilty. didn't want to hit anything hard at you. Oh my gosh. I know. I love it. I mean, and you, holy cow, you did hit some really hard shots. And I was like, I think I was screaming. Did I scream a couple times? Yes, it did. It was good. It was so good. It was very interesting. Yeah. No, it's all good. You can go for it. I think I told you that the day before we played as a family and I hit a ball to Ryan right between his eyes. I hit him like. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:23:51 God. Oh, my God. He said it hurts so bad. And I was like, I couldn't have planned that. If I was not playing the day, I would have done it. Did he have his glasses on? No, he didn't. He wasn't protected.
Starting point is 00:24:04 You know, I got to say, when he puts his glasses on, that is such a cool look. I would love to cultivate that look. I mean, that is like distinguished and it's almost man elegant, you know? I just love it. Oh, yeah. He just isn't a big compliment to that. He does look great. Gary, you look really good in glasses, too. Yeah, go put them on. Let's see him.
Starting point is 00:24:27 Oh, I know what. Gary's going to be wearing every time. Glasses every time. Yeah. I don't think so. Let's see. Do you look good? You put them on. We can get to see it. Oh, my gosh. I was going to put my glasses on. Okay, so if you guys had the option to choose, who would you choose as the Golden Bachelor? if they do the show. Oh, you really want to put us on the spot. Yeah, I do. It's a terrible
Starting point is 00:24:59 question. I know what? I feel like whoever it is, I want to, I want to be there. I'm going to help her. I mean, there's so many reasons why so many of them would be so good. I can't. You know I'm friends with all these girls. Gary maybe could answer the question, so I can't. I want somebody brand new because there were so many of the women out of my season that could do it and I think it would be a slight to several of them if one of them were chosen. I just love it if they started the process right from scratch like they did with me and find someone brand new. And I think that would make it, that would keep it fresh and interesting. So I have always said that and I feel like I might have shared this with you that I've always said I wanted them to pluck someone out
Starting point is 00:25:54 of obscurity that we all could fall in love with at the same time. And it was perfect for what they did for Golden. I thought it was amazing. But yeah, I've always loved that thought. Yeah, I'm just anxious to see who the men are. I mean, they had such a hard time finding Gary. Yeah. So are they going to find?
Starting point is 00:26:17 I don't know. It seems, you know, to find somebody so good, it takes a lot. And so now you have to find 22 or 25. I don't know how many they're going to pick men. And they've lowered the age range, I think. So, I mean, I thought I saw 55. Is that what I saw? I think I saw that.
Starting point is 00:26:39 How old was the youngest on yours, Gary? It was 60, I think. I think Faith was one of the youngest. And I don't remember who else. It seems to me there was one. Yes, there were seven 60-year-olds on this. Oh, wow. There was seven, yeah.
Starting point is 00:26:56 That's why I made that statement, I have to compete against 60-year-olds. Like, who says that? Only 70-year-old says that. Like, only somebody who's really old. Oh, I was tough. Okay, so how was it from both of your perspectives? I'll start with Gary to. have some of your exes because I can I can relate to it at your wedding like as you're standing
Starting point is 00:27:24 there looking out at your beautiful bride I'm sure you probably caught one or two of your exes and then another one is standing there performing the ceremony how how did that feel I'm not going to lie that was frigging weird um it's you're a hundred percent right for some reason I seem to be able to pick out those faces in the crowd much more easily than any of the others. Oh, my gosh. Fortunately, you know, I've really kept good friendships with, you know, pretty much all of those women. So it wasn't as awkward as it could have been. You know, I think over time, Leslie and I have more and more patched things up and were able to hug
Starting point is 00:28:09 and, you know, say, okay, what has happened is in the past and so forth. But, you know, like with some of the other women, I mean, I'm really friendly still with faith and with Joan and some of the other. And we have conversations and stuff. And it really kind of furthers the atmosphere and the culture from the show where we were all supportive and helped each other and rooted for each other. Yeah. You don't feel like it took away at all from, from, you know, if it would have been, if you guys had met, you know, not on television. And you didn't have any exes. You don't feel like it took away from what your wedding would have been.
Starting point is 00:28:51 Oh, no. Right. Okay, good. No, not at all. I think it actually added, you know, again, everybody supported each other. Yeah, I feel the same way. Yeah, there's so much warmth and camaraderie amongst us that it just added to the, really, to how warm the ceremony was, which is what we wanted. all people who were there
Starting point is 00:29:14 with good hearts and good intentions yeah we just we actually wanted all the women there so you know but it was did you yeah we did we did mm-hmm yeah who wasn't there
Starting point is 00:29:26 oh oh if I name the names I think only six women weren't there I don't off the top of my head yeah to say who wasn't there there was I think of if there was any Christina wasn't Christina wasn't there
Starting point is 00:29:42 Renee and Patty and Patty and Peggy Maria and Maria Right? Yeah Is that about it? There was six I think Who weren't there
Starting point is 00:29:53 So yeah And how did you feel Teresa? Because I know We interviewed Leslie For the podcast She said that He gave her a phone call
Starting point is 00:30:06 beforehand Oh yeah Okay yes That's what happened So I was asked specifically would I mind if she went and I said of course not I said exactly I want all the women to be there and then I was on the phone with Edith and I got off the phone and I said so did you invite her yet and I was told no and they said oh so did you change your mind I said no I want to invite her so yeah we were
Starting point is 00:30:29 really good friends I love her that's what she's yeah yeah we loved and supported each other throughout the whole thing so it's just it's a crazy thing that this happened I know I know I know you know what it is crazy so another crazy thing that i think people not got up in arms is not the right term but uh ben and i the morning after we did but we did a bunch of podcasts and um he said that his wife jess had texted him during the ceremony and said brandon and brandon proposed during you know the the cocktail party and she was like that's weird and um or I don't know how she said it, but she was like, is that appropriate? And my response, so when I got asked just so you know kind of what I saw is one of the
Starting point is 00:31:21 producers said, do you want to be like, do you want to see something that's going to be really exciting? And I was like, sure, you know, what is it? And finally, she told us that he was going to propose. And I actually got goosebumps because I just, I love love. Like, I am a huge fan of love. and anyone who's going to, like, show their love, I'm all for. And so, and then afterwards, people were like, well, that was strange.
Starting point is 00:31:47 Have you ever been to a wedding where someone proposed to somebody? You're not supposed to steal, you know, the bride and groom's limelight. But I was like, I don't feel like they probably felt that way, but you guys correct me if I'm wrong. How did you feel about Braden and Christina getting engaged? We got a phone call. I got a phone call from Braden, and he asked me if it was okay. And I go, you know, Braden, you know, and I've gotten like that guy a lot.
Starting point is 00:32:17 I mean, I think he's just a super guy, and I would have gone a long way for his behalf. But anyway, I said, I'm fine with it, but let me call Teresa. I'll call you back in five minutes. Yeah. So I called her, asked her, and her response to me was just as positive as my own. So, yeah, I've heard people say. you know, geez, it's like stealing someone's thunder. But I don't think it is.
Starting point is 00:32:40 It's like adding to the event. Yeah. If they want to compare and say, geez, that's not something appropriate, that's never done. Well, okay, it's never done when somebody, you know, gets married after three months of a TV show either. So, you know, let's just put it all together. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And find the unique novel parts of it all together.
Starting point is 00:33:01 So it was perfectly fine. Yeah. Yeah. But Gary called me and I was on the. bed on my bed practicing my vows with my daughter and Henry and and and and I had him on speaker and did I and I said yes yes yes because I'm like you I love love and it just added first of all they didn't interfere with our ceremony that didn't happen it's all good if it's all good positive stuff do it like it didn't feel the thing yeah it wasn't it was a negative thing if they're going to do
Starting point is 00:33:32 yeah so it was all good we're all happy about it it's wonderful Good. I'm glad that you felt like it didn't take away from your big day because I know that some people are like, you know, I got the it kind of. But I don't know. I was like they weren't even here yet. It wasn't the ceremony. Like we were just, it was cocktail party where people were just having a drink before we went to sit down to watch your beautiful vows. And I didn't feel like that. But, you know, you never know, because I'm not in your shoes. So I don't know. if you felt that way. Have you guys watched it back? Good question. Yes. Yes. You want to talk, Gary? Go ahead. No, it's quite an interesting experience to watch your own wedding back.
Starting point is 00:34:21 On national television, yeah. Yes. I mean, I think it was one of the evenings, you know, last week and I was in New Jersey and we sat down on the sofa after dinner and we just decided, okay, we're going to watch it through. And the fun part is, both of us would have. have questions or thoughts and and you know the program that is two hours in length on TV actually it was like three hours by the time we got done pausing and talking and yeah oh i love it
Starting point is 00:34:49 it really it was a lot of fun it was a neat experience for us to to kind of share that again because so much of it we weren't aware of we didn't see everything that was going on and and i really enjoyed picking out friends and family in the crowd and watching what they were doing and their reactions to things and so forth. It was a hoot. What is one thing that you didn't realize that happened that you didn't see in person that was really fun for you to watch when you watched it back? For me, oh, you want to say? Either or, yeah. Yeah, so for me, it was watching Sathy and Charity handled themselves so well
Starting point is 00:35:33 with everybody and make it seem like it almost felt like it was an award show it was exciting and fun and like Gary said watching then watching all the people walking by I'd say oh let's rewind that like who was in there so yeah they did a really
Starting point is 00:35:49 great job that's kind of what I was going to say to there the appearance of it being like a red carpet event where you know people would walk through and you would see familiar faces and people that you knew and and all of that it's just like it's such an awesome experience to see yeah yeah um and it's a really great thing that you have for the future uh you have a actual television network recording your wedding which is in high definition and the
Starting point is 00:36:22 best of the best so amazing yeah amazing My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon. This person writes, my boyfriend has been hanging out with his young professor a lot. He doesn't think it's a problem, but I don't trust her. Now, he's insisting we get to know each other, but I just want her gone.
Starting point is 00:36:52 Now, hold up. Isn't that against school policy? That sounds totally inappropriate. Well, according to this person, this is her boyfriend's former professor. and they're the same age. It's even more likely that they're cheating. He insists there's nothing between them. I mean, do you believe him?
Starting point is 00:37:06 Well, he's certainly trying to get this person to believe him because he now wants them both to meet. So, do we find out if this person's boyfriend really cheated with his professor or not?

I heart women's sports production in partnership with deep blue sports and entertainment on the IHart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Presented by Capital One, founding partner of IHart Women's Sports. Culture eats strategy for breakfast. I would love for you to share your breakdown on pivoting.
Starting point is 00:39:16 We feel sometimes like we're leaving a part of us behind when we enter a new space, but we're just building. On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us, I was joined by Volisha Butterfield, media founder, political strategist and tech powerhouse for a powerful conversation on storytelling, impact, and the intersections of culture and leadership. I am a free black woman who worked really hard to be able to say that. I'd love for you to break down. Why was so important for you to do C? You can't win as something you didn't create. From the Obama White House to Google to the Grammys, Malicia's journey is a masterclass in shifting culture and using your voice to spark change. A very fake, capital-driven environment and society will have a lot of people tell half-truths.
Starting point is 00:40:00 I'm telling you, I'm on the energy committee. Like, if the energy is not right, we're not doing it, whatever that it is. Listen to Culture raises us on the iHeart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I would love to hear, or I'm just curious, because I told you this story on the pickleball court. but about when you were watching it back and Ryan turned to me and said what he said did you guys like see that and think what did he just say to her or yes what did he say
Starting point is 00:40:40 I know what he said I replayed it and replayed it trying to lip read and I couldn't I know what he said told you on the pickleball court it was a tons of drama so this woman on Twitter or X or whatever it's called decided to try to lip read and she thought that Ryan said you so Gary it was during your vows and you said to Teresa I want to make you the happiest woman on on in the world or on the planet or what you know whatever you said yeah yeah which was still lovely by the way and Ryan turned to me and the lady guessed that he said that's never going to happen
Starting point is 00:41:22 like people are crazy a wedding that we're there to support you guys so what he actually said was the second happy the second happiest yes um first of all he would never say that and second of all but um but i didn't know if when you watched it back if you saw that he had said something and you were like what did he say and if you kind of did the lip reading thing too well you know what I wouldn't have known except that we were on the pickleball court. You don't know. And yeah, and that's crazy. People come up with the craziest things.
Starting point is 00:42:00 So, like, in a million years, the two nicest people are going to say something really mean like that. Never. And that was really nice that he said that to you. What a nice thing to say. I know. Oh, totally nice. I was like, oh. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:18 Okay. It was so nice. You can stick around. Yeah. Yeah, you can stay. That's so nice. Okay, is there anything that you regret about the televised, like, kind of televised part of it? I kind of regret that people weren't able to see more of the reception.
Starting point is 00:42:42 Yeah. To see how much of a celebration it was. Because, yeah, the ceremony is very blessed and it's solemn. And, you know, it emotes different emotions than if you see what kind of celebration there was in the reception. So I wish that could have been seen. Yeah. I agree with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:02 You're right. Or even more of what happened outside. But I would have loved for them to have seen the reception. It was so good. It was so good. Yeah. Yeah. It couldn't have been better.
Starting point is 00:43:16 It couldn't have been better. I mean, really, truly. It was amazing. but I didn't get to try the cake. So maybe that's how it's pretty good. I was just going to say, except for I didn't get a birthday cake from my daughter. That's what could have been there.
Starting point is 00:43:28 I had one bite of that cake all day. I mean, I love sweets. I did anything sweet. I love it. And I had like one bite of that cake. And we went out dancing. The cake was at my, you know, table setting. And I took a bite.
Starting point is 00:43:42 We went out dancing. And I came back and it had already been cleared. No. Oh, no. That's the one regret. So wait, did you guys, you know, how there's a tradition that you take the like like part of the cake and put it in the freezer did you guys do that um no because it would have been all but impossible to get it from
Starting point is 00:44:01 palm beach yeah right i mean to either of our houses well maybe you just have to reach out to the cake company and have them make you another one next to you oh oh that's a good idea we should do that call mindy wise she'll say yeah same yeah all right yeah Yes, she would. A little follow-up tidbit. She was the best. Just a little tip bit. I don't think we actually did that.
Starting point is 00:44:27 I don't think that we, I don't think we had, I don't think we did that because same, same, same. We got married in Palm Springs, too, and we were, you know, flying home. Did you do the whole something borrowed, something blue? I did. You did? I did. Tell me, what were those things? I had.
Starting point is 00:44:50 I had blue underwear. You did? Amazing. Oh, Gary, did you know this until? No. No, I didn't. By the time I got closed from my suite and went to the suite where she was,
Starting point is 00:45:05 she was on to sleep. She was under the covers. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, something old and something all borrowed was the dress, actually. Something old word. Yeah. Okay, I won't say it was old. and something new is my
Starting point is 00:45:21 wedding man, right? What was this something old? Probably my bra. No. Stop it. Wait, you didn't get a new bra from the, like, lingerie? Did I really?
Starting point is 00:45:39 I don't think, oh, no, there were no bras there. They were giving you much more scantily-clad thing at the photo shoot. How did you like that shoot, Gary? Oh, oh, wait a minute, you brought something up. I'm glad you brought that up because, you know, there is a part of it that I've objected to. You know, with guys, when we have a bachelor party, the rule is, it's just an unwritten rule.
Starting point is 00:46:05 It's hands off. No touch, right? Totally, yeah. So when the women had the dancers in her bachelorette party, there was a whole lot of touching. And Tracy keeps telling me, oh, I didn't like it. I just didn't like it. I hated it every second of it. Oh, so you were asking before about what do you think you regretted about what was
Starting point is 00:46:29 televised or not? My boudoir shoot. I mean, I didn't know that was pretty like my grandsons and a brother. And you didn't know about it. No, I didn't know about the boudoir shoot. That was, well, that was a surprise to me. Yeah, she didn't want it on TV because she got busted. I got busted.
Starting point is 00:46:49 do you know what they so in my my day that was the same so we had a joint bachelor and bachelor at party and at one instance there were these um two or three strippers that the boys had at their like you know which they didn't strip down to everything but they you know what they were there because it's a bachelor party and they took ryan down to the beach they were like holding his hand walking him down to the beach and he's like, oh, you're going to get me in trouble. And to this day, I'm like, excuse me, why would you be in trouble? That's sort of self-incriminating, isn't it? Yeah, I mean, I was not happy about that.
Starting point is 00:47:37 But that is one thing where you sign up for a televised wedding. And if they're going to do your bachelor and bachelorette parties, then you have to know going, and not that you would have known. But for anyone in the future, just know. If you televise your wedding, just expect for there to be drama for the Bachelor Bachelorette party. If you don't want trauma, then maybe don't televise that part. Oh, my God.
Starting point is 00:48:01 It was actually beautiful, though. The Bachelor party was fun. It was all surprised me, but it was fun. Yeah. Did you keep the pictures and are you going to put them up in your house? So Gary has some. One of the gifts that I got right before the wedding that actually brought a tear to my eye. And it's so, it's beyond compare is the picture of Teresa in the white, I don't even know what would you call it, Trees.
Starting point is 00:48:32 The one piece, and you're looking down and you're opening two double doors and your legs are crossed at the ankles. Yeah, I have that where I see it every morning. Yeah, I love that picture. It's where? Where is it where you see it every morning? Like in your bathroom? No, I have a large walk-in closet. Okay. And I use that closet as a locker room practically. Yes. And it's in there and I see it every morning. I love it. Yeah, it's nice. That's so nice. That's very sweet. Yeah, I really like it. The women all looked phenomenal about it, didn't they? All those pictures are so gorgeous. Oh my gosh. I believe. I mean, hands up to you. Like the things that you were. women you ladies talked about on the show like joan about saying how people feel invisible as you get older which i totally relate to and then sandra or sandra like fart that big fart that she that was great that was so good and so nonchalantly oh my gosh that was such a moment um but like all of the things that you guys talked about you're like dude just like i don't care i'm going to yeah
Starting point is 00:49:43 say this or do this or whatever. Yeah, we don't care. You get to a certain age, and you don't care. I don't know if it's 50 or 60. I don't care. We just love it. So have your family's been able to get together and really bond and blend? Well, yes.
Starting point is 00:50:01 I think, yeah, they've done a really good job at that. I mean, we had dinner after the final rose. Everybody got to meet each other casually and we spent some time. But then we also had the holiday meal that was on. the wedding show and I mean everybody just they do indeed get along well they've blended well and you know and of course having six grandsons to me is a little different yes how are you handling that how is it I loved it I got to buy guy stuff at Christmas you know a little guy gifts you know I bought duck calls for coming sons that is so I mean it was it was
Starting point is 00:50:43 It's great. Yeah. I love seeing him, fixing, helping fix their ties. That's something I had not seen. That was so great. I loved that. That is so sweet. I'm sure we're going to watch it again because, you know, we, you know, drink it all in and see things that we miss.
Starting point is 00:51:03 Yeah. It's so great. Do you have plans to watch it? Like, I know that there are some people that pull out their writing video every year or every five years or whatever. Do you have plans to watch it in any regular scheduling, no? We haven't thought of that, but that's a great idea to do it once a year. That'd be awesome.
Starting point is 00:51:26 Yeah. I don't know, Trista, at my age, I don't even buy green bananas. So, you know, thinking about a five-year plan. We have a five-year plan. In five years, right. You know, five years, you know, that's a long way. Oh, my gosh, that's like, what did you see? say in the ceremony, Teresa,
Starting point is 00:51:45 about how you were like... Oh, yes, I did. Oh, my gosh. I said, and I promised to have thumb for the rest of our lives, which could be another hour or something like that. And I only thought of that. Like, when I was practicing with my daughter,
Starting point is 00:52:00 I said that. That was the first time I said it. She goes, you should keep that in. You should keep that in. That was really good. And I want, honestly, I wanted the vows to have some humor in it, like, you know, to just be. so so you know serious but um i also said something else where susan said where do you see yourselves
Starting point is 00:52:20 in 10 years and i said dead but yes that's they cut that out they cut it out oh they do you only see that me mouth the words got it just a joke i don't know i really think we're going to live to be 104 120 i don't know i think we're going to live forever My boyfriend's professor is way too friendly, and now I'm seriously suspicious. Oh, wait a minute, Sam. Maybe her boyfriend's just looking for extra credit. Well, Dakota, it's back to school week on the OK Storytime podcast, so we'll find out soon.

God write songs. I take dictation. I didn't even know you've been a pastor for over 10 years. I think culture is any space that you live in that develops you. On a recent episode of Culture Raises Us podcast, I sat down with Warren Campbell, Grammy-winning producer, pastor, and music executive to talk about the beast. the business and the legacy behind some of the biggest names in gospel, R&B, and hip-hop.
Starting point is 00:55:46 This is like watching Michael Jackson talk about thoroughly before it happened. Was there a particular moment where you realized just how instrumental music culture was to shaping all of our global ecosystem? I was eight years old and the Motown 25 special came on and all the great Motown artists, Marvin, Stevie Wonder, Temptations, Diana Raw. From Mary Mary to Jennifer Hudson, we get into the soul of the music and the purpose that drives it. Listen to Culture raises us on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
Starting point is 00:56:17 podcasts. And for Susan, how do you guys feel like Susan did? Amazing. Susan, nobody could have done it better. Oh, my God. She was so great. I personally loved when she said, when I first met you, Gary, I said I was going to marry you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:39 And I met you. I was like, that is so. The nice thing with Susan, you know, she has this energy, but I think both Teresa and I have sort of an emotional connection to her. She has the ability to draw people into her and make friends with everyone. So, you know, literally she did give me that sign of, you know, tap in her heart during the rose ceremonies. And, you know, she did it, you know, in the early part of the ceremony. And she just has a way. Yeah, I think it does.
Starting point is 00:57:13 Yeah, and she's somebody who blew us away with how well she did it, went way above and beyond. And she looked so gorgeous. I mean, how great was she in that black ensemble? Oh, my goodness. I mean, everyone was gorgeous, honestly. Yeah. Everyone looked, even the guests that I didn't know.
Starting point is 00:57:31 It was just a beautiful, just a beautiful group of people. It was amazing. How was it looking at? I just have a couple more questions, and then I'll let you go, and you can have more than just lentil soup. No, no, I'm done. I can't eat now. So how was it looking out into, you know, this crowd of people and not knowing a lot of us? I mean, obviously, you knew me and, but.
Starting point is 00:58:00 Right. Well, I guess you had met Ryan at the after the final rows, but a lot of the bachelor people, you probably had not met yet. Right. Right. So how did that feel like? is that? Yes, it felt overwhelming and exciting and like, oh my God, look who's there and oh my God. Yeah. Yeah, it was, it was pretty exciting. Yes, I would say that. How'd you feel, Gary? Bradford had given me a little bit of a primer. Okay. We went through a number of pictures and, you know, I tried to remember the names and some of the history. So it wasn't my first time, you know,
Starting point is 00:58:33 seeing them, but I had no real connection with them, you know, just to say, oh, they were at such such season, you know, didn't really mean much. So, you know, as the night wore on and I got to meet them and see their true personalities and everything, it was nice to do. Do you guys feel the like family, like the familial connection to everyone? Oh, definitely. Yeah. They're all, everyone's so lovely, such nice people.
Starting point is 00:59:02 And so, yeah, I'm trying to feel that way. That's great. I love it. been wanting them to do like some kind of reunion with everybody i know it's probably impossible because yeah that would be thousands and thousands of people like who have been on every show but yeah but i just think it it would be so fun to just reunite with some people you know yeah that'd be tremendous okay so what is next for both of you i know you're doing working on the move. Are you, I know you went back to your job, right, Teresa? I did. Mm-hmm. Yep. So it's, it's
Starting point is 00:59:44 really, yes, straightening out this house, so we're living here, and then looking for, we have many trips planned, so many trips planned for the year, and looking for a home and going to Italy and going to Indiana and going to South Carolina. And we have, and then going to, it's Orange Beach, so we're going to a trip with his pickleball friends. Oh, how fun. Yeah. So. And Hawaii.
Starting point is 01:00:10 You got gifted a trip to Hawaii from my partner, my pickleball partner. That's right. That's amazing. That is amazing. Have you been to Hawaii either? No, never. Yeah. Oh, you have.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Okay. Love. Love that you just learned that about him, by the way. I did just learn that. I just learned that. I knew you were to say that. Terry, I just learned that about you. I love it.
