Episode 16 - She Wore the Vomit Dress Down the Aisle

Episode 16 - She Wore the Vomit Dress Down the Aisle

She wore the vomit dress down the aisle. Not because there was no other option. Because Harper wanted to be in the wedding, and Keisha looked at her stepdaughter covered in regurgitated pizza on the side of a country road in Idaho thirty minutes behind schedule with the officiant missing and Aunt Buff following them the wrong direction — and said okay. Put her mom shoes on. We're doing this. In this episode Jon and Keisha cover Randy getting rescued by a Madison County sheriff's deputy with no phone, no address, and no idea what state he was really in. The Big Jud's burger challenge that Lucas won and immediately regretted. The seventh grade crush Keisha definitely wrote "I think you're cute" to in a yearbook. Taco Time converting a car full of skeptical tweens in under three minutes. And the foot massage competition in Minga's bedroom at the end of a wedding day that went completely sideways from minute one. But mostly this is about what happens when the best-laid plans hit a kid with heat exhaustion, a lost officiant, a wrong turn at Aunt Buff speed, and a car that will never fully stop smelling like pizza — and you do it anyway. Because the river was still there. The quaking aspens were still there. And Alabama's Down Home started playing and it was exactly what it was supposed to be. They are two weeks in. They are not stopping. JK LOL Storytime is one take, no breaks, no script — just two people telling the truth about their lives.

Episode 15 - From I-Do to I-15: Weddings, Highways & Meltdowns

Jon and Keisha record Episode 15 from the mountains near Ogden in Eden, Utah, a day late because they’ve been on the road for their #WeddingOnTour, heading into wedding number four after Idaho, Phoenix, and Las Vegas.  They recap traveling with four kids, two puppies, a trailer, and Randy on his motorcycle through heat and storms, including a moment where Randy desperately chugs water on Highway 93 and Jon runs on almost no sleep after a North Dakota turnaround. They explain why the Phoenix wedding felt easiest—no timeline pressure, a park ceremony, puppies in dresses, Starbucks after, and flexibility when family was sick—contrasting it with stressier events.  They share ongoing setbacks like lodging hassles and an old one-star Airbnb review from a past unsafe Vegas stay, praise their Phoenix hosts, and emphasize responding to obstacles with perspective. They also talk Vegas chaos, being married by a minister named Bruce Wayne at Little White Chapel, limos, strip adventures, Harley-shop help, upcoming Kentucky and Wisconsin plans, and ideas for future on-location episodes.

Episode 14 - It was HER idea

Jon spent months planning a proposal that Keisha would never see coming. She doesn't like surprises. If she had even an inkling she would have figured it out. So he told her his fried rice elbow was flaring up and he couldn't swing a golf club. Then he suggested a walk instead. He had pink flagging tape in the trees two weeks in advance. A trellis pounded into the ground. Polaroids of every significant moment in their relationship pinned across it. Rose petals. A dozen roses. A speech he still has. A photographer named Ashley hiding up the hill probably getting ticks and grasshoppers. Keisha's best friend Kaylee in the bushes with a video camera. Keisha thought going to her favorite trail in North Dakota was her own idea. It was not her own idea. In this episode Jon and Keisha tell the engagement story. The ring that sat in a wood box under Keisha's bed for a week while she slept over it with no idea. The barbecue dinner with Keisha's mom as cover. The AirPod case ring box. The hand squeezing that got more intense the closer they got. The rose petals that briefly looked like a roadside memorial. The Up house Lego set built by all four kids and Keisha's mom the weekend before. The wine they had been saving that turned out to be terrible. The champagne. Also Cooper arrived. Betty is retired. The dogs are coming to Idaho. Ethel needs puppy meds. Lucy ate a whole canister of puppy weed once and was in an altered state for a couple days. By the time you hear this episode they will be on tour. JK LOL Storytime is one take, no breaks, no script — just two people telling the truth about their lives.

Episode 13 - Holy Sh*t, It's June 1st. We're Actually Doing This.

It's June 1st. We're leaving today. We probably should have scripted this one. We did not script this one, just like all episodes.  What you're hearing is two people standing in their basement on a Monday morning with totes full of wedding dresses, four veils, boutonnieres, bouquets, and holy guacamole, about to drive 7,588 miles across two countries to get married nine times. Either we are completely batshit crazy or we are onto something amazing. We genuinely do not know which one yet. There is no middle ground and that feels very on brand. A few things before we go. We have a Patreon now. The highest tier gets a postcard mailed directly from one of the tour stops — signed, from wherever we are.  Randy's bike just pulled up outside. Episode 14 drops Thursday June 4th and it's the engagement story. Episode 15 is going to be recorded in the car or a hotel room so we apologize in advance for the audio. The dead cat on the wireless mic is named Carl. Nine cities. Nine weddings. Two countries. One father on a Harley. Babe. Let's go.

Episode 12 - Careful, there's a broken pickle jar

She wanted to quit this morning. Not the tour. Not the relationship. The whole thing. The podcast, the brand outreach, the content, all of it. Too stressful. Savings getting tight. Can't do everything at once. She said it out loud in the middle of an ordinary Sunday morning sitting across from a man whose arms were sore from shaking 19 gallons of cocktails for a charity event the night before, who ate cottage cheese for breakfast and drank a V8, and who listened without immediately trying to fix it. And then she found her own way back. In this episode Jon and Keisha also cover the correct milk cap colors, the broken pickle jar Jon handled without being asked, New Sock Day, the accidental nap philosophy, and the buttermilk shot he takes every time he makes pancakes. But mostly it is about why they are still doing this; when you listen they will be days away from starting the tour.  JK LOL Storytime is one take, no breaks, no script — just two people telling the truth about their lives.
