00:00So if you haven't heard the news by now, Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck tied the knot in Las Vegas over the weekend.
00:08And if you listen to our radio show, then you know that J-Lo is like my ultimate celebrity girl crush.
00:16And as much as I love J-Lo, I feel equally as turned off by Ben.
00:24And it's like, I know I also said within the last few months that Ben had started to grow on me, that I was starting to like him.
00:37You know, the thing is, is that so many people are so happy for these two.
00:42You're the only one that all of us know that's not happy for this marriage.
00:48I'm not saying I'm happy for her.
00:50No, you're not.
00:51I am happy for her, but I am proceeding with caution.
00:55Like I have this entire relationship.
00:58I was so sure at the beginning of this relationship when Bennifer 2.0 came on the scene that this was a PR stunt put together by their people.
01:06Because they both had just gotten out of relationships for the most part.
01:10Now, were you OK with Bennifer 1.0?
01:14Yes, I think I liked them together the first time around.
01:17OK, so just quickly, what is it about the second time around that you don't like?
01:22I don't know.
01:23It just seems like like Ben didn't have a lot going on.
01:26It seems a very like coattail relationship to me.
01:30And I thought she was rebounding.
01:33And she's an award winning actor.
01:35What do you mean he doesn't have a lot going on?
01:36He didn't have a lot going on recently.
01:38He really does not.
01:39I mean, now he has stuff coming out.
01:42But like in the grand scheme of things, the only time we heard from Ben is when he was in trouble.
01:47Or he was fighting with Jen Gardner.
01:49OK.
01:49OK.
01:50So anyway, they went to Vegas.
01:52They got married.
01:53Now, let me tell you what my red flag number one is.
01:55OK.
01:56Only J-Lo's kids and mom was at this.
02:00And I know it was an elopement.
02:02It happened really fast.
02:03They went to the courthouse.
02:04And they went to the little chapel in Vegas.
02:06But nobody from Ben's side was there.
02:09Nobody.
02:11And I'm like, OK, I get it.
02:13I'm just a little.
02:14I'm still skeptical.
02:16You think that maybe that's a red flag that Ben's family is not for this marriage?
02:21Yeah.
02:21I think it doesn't mean anything.
02:23Well.
02:24You don't really hear much about Ben's family, except his son crashed a $180,000 Lamborghini two weeks ago.
02:30Yeah, which, by the way, you know, it's all over social media right now, all over social media.
02:35So last night, Extra posted, like, all these pictures on Instagram.
02:40And it was, like, a selfie from J-Lo's phone.
02:43And then the next two pictures were so clearly from Ben's phone.
02:46And I was like, OK, why are they all grainy?
02:48Like, can we not give Ben a better phone than a 2003 flip phone?
02:53Like, help me out here.
02:55And, you know, people, of course, jumped on me.
02:57They're like, it's the behind the scenes.
02:58It's better that way.
03:00And I'm like, yeah, I get it.
03:02But I'd actually like to see the picture and not have to guess what it is.
03:08Let's see.
03:09I'm just reading more about it.
03:10I don't like Ben so much, like, down to his phone.
03:13And by the way, tell everyone, Producer Nicole, the best part about J-Lo's post-wedding.
03:20You know, like, what is she known as now?
03:23Oh, she legally changed her last name.
03:25She'll regret that.
03:26So she is.
03:31Yeah, she's Jennifer Lynn Affleck now.
03:34Jennifer Lynn Affleck.
03:35Look at these two.
03:36The one that got away.
03:37I know.
03:37They look like they're so in love.
03:39And, you know, like I said, I am happy for her because she did post this, like, really beautiful thing on social media and on her website.
03:50But she said, we did it.
03:51Love is beautiful.
03:52Love is kind.
03:53And it turns out love is patient.
03:5520 years patient.
03:57Katie and Charlotte agrees with you, Lauren.
03:59I don't like them together.
04:01She texts in.
04:03And so I'm not alone.
04:04Even though this was kind of like an on the whim thing, he did have a suit because the independent newspaper is reporting that Ben Affleck changed into his wedding suit in the toilet before marrying Jennifer Lopez.
04:15So she used the break room, apparently, and he got, like, the boy's bathroom.
04:19But it was just a jacket from his closet.
04:22You know?
04:23More texts coming in.
04:24I agree with Lauren.
04:25I don't like them together.
04:26This is not going to end well.
04:28Am I right?
04:28Nothing ends well for J-Lo, someone says.
04:30Oh, well, that's sad.
04:31And I do love her.
04:32And I hope she is happy.
04:33And I'm happy for her if she's happy.
04:35I just, you know, I'm the cousin standing in the corner at the wedding sipping my Chardonnay going, this ain't gonna work.
