What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe New York Post reports former NBA star Delonte West has married after years on the streets, and it's his third marriage after divorces in twenty ten and twenty twenty.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo is a third wedding a comeback or a warning?
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWarning. Third time is where the cracks show, and I say that as a man who once bought a third kettle.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThat man deserves this win, I'm not gonna lie.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentComeback. The data on second chances is fine, and he's earned a good day. You're treating a wedding like a kettle recall.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThree strikes and you're out, that's what they say.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI have attended a third wedding in a country that no longer issues that flag.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorIt was the best party of my life, and the groom was wearing my coat.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentYour coat? Okay, so the third wedding has a strong track record of outerwear theft.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorFine, I'm switching. If there's a third wedding, there's a third cake, and I will defend a cake to the end.
Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat's the pettiest reason I've heard, and I've been thrown out of embassies.
Dr. Nina Byte · Tech & Science CorrespondentHands up if a third wedding is a comeback. Two of us, and Dale, who's voting with his stomach. Chat, cast your vote too.
Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorBrock, is it raining on the cake?
