Bride or Die: The Billion-Dollar Glitter Bomb You Didn’t See Coming.

One minute it’s a night out with the girls. The next, it’s a $1,300-per-person, four-day rhinestone retreat with cowboy hats, inflatable penises, and a laminated itinerary that would make NASA jealous.

In this episode of Dumbify, David Carson crashes headfirst into the bachelorette party industrial complex — a glitter-powered ecosystem of chaos, capitalism, and choreographed group joy. What began as one last hoorah before marriage has become a booming billion dollar economy with bedazzled merch, concierge services, Airbnb balloon installations, and Etsy empires run by people who once just wanted to Venmo their brunch money and go home.

You’ll hear the story of how a novelty straw side hustle became a full-fledged empire, why group outfits trigger oxytocin, and how some genius figured out how to rent the same Airbnb twice — once for lodging, and once for Instagram decor.

So pour a mimosa. Put on your “Bride Tribe” slides. And join us in celebrating the most extra, most unnecessary, most profitable party model in modern America.
