C.J.: Talking to newlyweds Jason Matheson & Collin Haas

Jason Matheson and Collin Haas got married Saturday.

Family members of the co-host of MyTalk 107.1's marquee show knew what kind of wedding Matheson would have. But Hass' family were not sure about this marriage between two men.

With the help of Hennepin County Director of Public Affairs Carolyn Marinan, I met Matheson and Haas the day they picked up a marriage license and sat down for an interview with Haas. Since we already know Matheson — between his radio show and TV job at WCCO — consider this an introduction to his husband, a business manager. As usual, Matheson provided some priceless commentary — I'm calling them Jasonbombs — best appreciated in my startribune.com/video.

Q: Tell me about your family's reaction to preparing to attend your wedding.

A: Well, my family's a little more rural. Some of them were calling with questions: "What do we say? What do we not say? What do we wear?" That was kind of the out-there question. I had to explain that a gay wedding is still a wedding … I think they think everyone's going to be in booty shorts and rainbow confetti. We have taste.

Q: What were they worried they'll say?

A: ["They're afraid Richard Simmons is going to pop out of a cake or something," said Matheson.]

A: Depends on the day. I think I'm more the planner but Jason can be a little more short-tempered on things, so I kind of daily do little pokes: "We need to make a decision about this. We need to make a little decision about this." After about three time it's, "No more questions. I'm done. Leave me alone." I'm the planner, he's the temper.

Q: Are you a) adopting, b) looking for eggs and a uterus in the scientific sense, or c) not having kids?

A: I would say it depends on the day that you ask us. I think, in all seriousness, we'd probably like to have kids one day. We've got time for that. And if we do, I think we'd probably want to hire a uterus and egg and all of that jazz. We'll probably explore that down the road. ["So if YOU know a uterus, call us!" intoned Matheson, sounding like a commercial pitchman.]

Q: Given that a large percentage of marriages don't work, which one of you is in charge of calling me should yours fail?

A: I think you'll call us. [Both laughed.]

A: It's haunted me all my life. My dad picked the name because he thought I should be president one day and he said the president needs to have a regal name, so Collinsworth Nelson Haas. It's caused so many problems.

Q: Have you guys been to pre-marriage counseling. [Laughter from Matheson]

A: No. We've had offers and I shot that down. No.

Q: So, it's a good thing I'm here! Do you accept that as part of any marriage there is the reality that there will be days when you don't like each other?

A: Oh. We've already had those days. That's what the spare bedroom is for.
