Jeff Bezos' Wedding: PR Nightmare or Power Move?

This week, Jacki and Lyle unpack the lavish (and wildly controversial) wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sánchez — and the brutal PR backlash that followed. From Venetian protests and missing A-listers (where was Eva Longoria?) to social media outrage over celeb guests like Leonardo DiCaprio and Sydney Sweeney — it’s safe to say the optics were not great. 👀

Even Charlize Theron joined the critics, and Jacki’s not shy in calling out the climate hypocrisy of hosting such an extravagant event in Venice — especially from someone funding environmental causes. 🌍✈️

Meanwhile, Lyle reflects on the pressure of those invites: hard to decline, but maybe some should have.

Plus, why Bezos, Elon Musk, and Mark Zuckerberg have landed themselves a spot on Lyle’s “Entrepreneurial Mount Rushmore”… for all the wrong reasons. 😅

🔊 Tune in for sharp insight, honest takes, and a dose of PR real talk.
