When you think about emotion regulation, you're not going to choose an adaptive strategy which is more effortful to use unless you think there's a good outcome. Avoidance is easier. Ignoring is easier. Denials easier.

Complex problem solving takes effort. Listen to the psychology podcast on the. IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Why are TSA rules so confusing?

I like it. I think it's cute. And we have two amazing guests to start that out. So we're a duo, but we also have a duo in studio. Maybe an even better duo. Yeah. So I don't know if people can recognize or tell from their voices, but we should give them some hints. Okay, so how should we do this? I would say we have some of America's coolest parents,

just from talking to you both for five minutes. Yeah, I would say that maybe they've known the Bachelor his entire life. Maybe they could dish some secrets, some of the dirty secrets on the Bachelor. Some people say they fell in love with these parents before they fell in love with Peter. I know who said that, this one over here. I felt I understood you once I met your parents on the screen Anyways, now the secret's out, you know exactly who it is Welcome to the show, Barb and Peter Sr. Yay!

Thank you, Weber, Sr., which I just found out, by the way, Peter, I had no, Peter's in the room, by the way, you guys, I had no idea you were a junior. Technically, I'm not a junior. Middle names. Cut all this. Oh, really? So are you Peter number two?

So I go by Bud. Bud, okay. That's been my nickname, but we have different middle names. Yeah, different. All right. So Bachelor Bud is in the room as well. Bachelor Bud, that's really cute. I like that.

Welcome to the show, you guys. Thank you. It's a pleasure. We are so happy to have you here. Thank you. I am thrilled to have you here. When I saw you during the hometown week on Hannah's season, I had to do a recap for another station,

and I was just like getting in all the close-ups of you, too. I loved you too. So when I found out you guys are going to be in the studio with us, I was thrilled. Oh, thank you. Thank you. Yeah, I think. I think a lot of people share Becca's sentiment.

You know, when Peter introduced us to you guys and we met you at his hometown, there was just the energy came through the television screen, okay? And I'm not a cheesy person, so I'm not just saying this because I'm sitting here in front of you. I, there was something about your family that America fell in love with. It was just special and fun, and you could just feel the love and, like you said, the good energy. Like, you guys are a family that I would just want to hang out with.

Oh, we can come and hang out on that same time. We're going to go to your dancing. So I feel like it's so special to have you guys here because so many people want to hear your story. You know, we've seen you as Peter's parents. You obviously have set such a good example for him where he went on this crazy journey to try to get exactly what the two of you have.

So I want to get into your background and your love story. And so we're just going to start from the beginning. Okay. Sounds good. Are you ready? But first, I have one important question before we start. What's that? Are you two the most popular people in Westlake Village at this point?

I don't know about that, but I would say it's, we have had encounters absent Peter where it's just, to me, it's very surreal coming, somebody, complete stranger coming up and knowing who we are. It's like, oh, my goodness. And you, you had an incident at Stonehouse. Oh, yeah. I'm at Stonehouse the other day. And I'm with a friend of mine and she says, are you? known around here yet or do they recognize you and I go no so we're eating and then all of a sudden eight ladies come around me and they go are you pilot Pete's mom and I'm like yeah and then my girlfriend looks at me and says I thought you said you didn't get recognized I go I don't I don't well it's

only going to get worse from here and out in a good way in a good way yeah people are really happy even more we welcome it okay how long have you guys been in Westlake village we moved here in 2004 four Okay, 2004, we came from Florida. We're in Florida. Boca, Boca Baton. I'm like that, now that I'm a Floridian, I just moved to Miami. Oh, you did? Oh, you did?

Oh, so you moved to where my family's from? Yes, yes, yes. You know, Cubans. Yes, yes, yes. We'll have to talk about that. We can get all into that. I still haven't had good Cuban food yet. Oh, we've got to go, I've got the restaurants for you to go, seriously.

I've got the great restaurant. Did I just cook for us tonight? Did I just get an invite to the Weber household? We are going to the Weber. No, yeah, we can do so. definitely go on and on about that because I'm like immersing myself in the Latin culture, my husband's Colombian and the Floridian culture. I'm not a big fan of Florida yet so you can help me get there. So you've already moved to Miami? Yeah, I moved

in April. Oh my goodness. You're just coming back and forth for this? That's right. Wow. Now mom and dad who's asking the question? Okay. Sorry. I'm just playing with you. But I think so many people want to know so we know you moved to Westlake in 2004 but how did the two of you guys make? Boy, you know, actually it was 33 years ago yesterday, December 3rd. And I was a flight attendant for United. My husband's still a pilot for, I know, I tell me you're a flight attendant, and I'm the captain, right? Anyway, he's still flying for United today.

But we were on a flight, and I was supposed to be deadheading. That means I wasn't working. I was sitting as a passenger going from Chicago to Miami. to work the flight back. So I'm sitting here on the airplane, and I see this fella go right by me. And this is before we take off, of course, you know. And I looked over, and do you know that all I saw was his butt. Yes, my first impression.

I saw him from the back. He was really nice and tan because he had been doing Hawaii trips, so he was really tan. And I could see his pants and everything. It was just so nice, you know. I love the detail. And do you know, I do too? And do you know that I knew I was going to marry him? I didn't even know his face.

Upon the first rump look? Just the butt look. I believe him. I did not even see his face. And I went over like this and I go, that's the guy I'm going to marry. And you know what? Then we landed in Miami. And, of course, now I'm working the flight back.

And he comes in the back and he says, you know, there's a possibility that we might have a mechanical. So we might have to stay in Miami. And I said to him, I said, oh, that's great because I'll get to see my family. Well, I asked you if you had your bathing suit. Yeah, you asked me if my bathing suit, right? Oh, good, Mr. Weber. He did ask me that.

And I said, two good ones, right? So I figured, oh, darn it, I didn't have a bathing suit with me. But, you know, I mean, I was already in love with him. I was just, there was something about him that had just attracted me so much. So you went skinny dipping? I like your way. I like it.

Peter's over here plugging this ears. Like, I don't want to hear this. No, actually we, no, we actually went back to Chicago because the flight, you know, was okay. We got back to Chicago. And then on the way back, I remember telling my flying partners, I really, really want him to ask me for my number, but I don't know how to do it. You know, I mean, how does he ask me and so forth? And my flying partner said, write it on a piece of paper and just give it to him when he leaves the plane. And I went and I got, okay, my name, Barbara, and my phone number, and oh, the handwriting's not good.

I want to think I'm really, you know, everything's perfect. I did it again. I did it three times, okay? I put it inside my apron pocket because I figured, you know, I'm not going to do this. It's just, I'm not that aggressive. So we get to Chicago, and he comes out of the cockpit, and he says to me, he goes, you know, you told me that you were Cuban. Can you speak, you know, say something in Spanish to me? because he grew up in Venezuela

and I looked at him and I said hola and he goes oh my God that's it well she had me at hello but I was expecting a little bit more than that and I just thought okay fine so he says

I'd like to get your number because I'd like to take you out and he says do you have a piece of paper a pen I go I don't have anything on me you have to get a piece of paper and a pen keep in mind I have three of them in my pocket Right. So he goes and looks for a pen and a piece of paper and I write my name. And the rest is, you know, is...

Two kids later. Two kids later. Peter and Jack. Oh, I love that story. I do, too. It was. It was really sweet. I just love the swimsuit that can you speak in Spanish. I mean, listen, that's how my husband got me, too. So I get it. See? Yeah. Oh, yeah. All because of the butt. Yeah. Because of the butt. The butt. Oh, boy. So when you were, okay, so you get back, does he call right away? How do you go on to that date after all of this?

Keep in mind. Okay. I'm Chicago. Okay. I'm city. Okay. I'm not athletic. Me either.

I feel you. I feel me. I'm not athletic at all. I'm just city person all the way. So he sends me a little note in my mailbox at work. And he says, I love. Before that, though, didn't I left. I thought I left you some messages.

Oh, you did. No. No, you could. But you were on a. I was in Hawaii. Yeah, I was on vacation. So when I got back, I got this message for the date. And he says, we used to have little mailboxes in our operations area where you could, you know, you got pertinent information.

So I would, I left her out. And then. Printed in info. The date was, would you like to go skiing with me? He lived in Denver. For the first date? For the first date? Yeah.

I lived in Chicago, okay? I don't even know what a bunny hill is. I've never heard of anything. So he says, would I like to take you skiing, you know, in Denver? And I do like to ski. And I wrote back, I love to ski. You know, I'm good. I ski well, basically.

Oh, my gosh. I went all the way. I've never seen a ski in my life at this point. This is great. This is all. So anyway, so I get this. go to the nearest like ski store in Chicago and I'm like okay what looks good what looks good and you know I really didn't have a lot of money at the time because it was just you know I just started

flying and all that and to get the gear it's expensive you know that so I thought okay I might as well just get a really nice coat so I got this really cute little coat you know and I couldn't get the pants or anything else and I said okay I'll be there well I show up to go skiing with him in jeans, okay, blue jeans, cute little top, and my high-heel boots that I would wear in the city, high-heel boots that are... I knew right away. She'd never... She never did.

Put on a ski slope before when she showed up in her jeans. He tells me, okay, let's get the boots on, and I'm like, oh, these are not very lady-like to walk with. So I get on, and he says, we're going to go here on the chairlift. Well, keep in mind, I don't do heights. I'm paranoid of heights. Okay. I can do airplanes because I'm enclosed, but if I'm not.

out. I don't do that very well. And he says, okay, let's get in the chairlift right. And he doesn't, I have not told him I don't ski yet. So I threw myself in this chairlift, which I've never done that before. And going up, I put the bar down right away because I was scared. And we're going up and he says to me, he says, oh, isn't that beautiful? Look at that beautiful sight. He's to my right. I'm to the left and I have my eyes closed the whole time looking this way. And I'm saying, yes, it's absolutely beautiful, but with my eyes closed. He can't see my eyes closed. And when we're getting right to the point that we have to get off, he says, okay, we're here. And I know I have to open my eyes now. I open my eyes and I see, I'm like, there's just no way. I have to tell him the truth.

I looked over it and I said, I've never skied a day in my life. Never skied a day in my life. And he says, just let me grab on to you. He had to grab onto me and then come down that little slope because I If we didn't get off there, we were going to the top, you know, and so she had some motivation to get off. But it was scary. But she looked cute. That's what mattered, Bob.

Yes, that's all that mattered, right? Hey, I get it. I'm from the Midwest, so we have slim pickings on those hills there. So I would be the same way if I got to Denver and got on the mountain, I'd be like, uh-uh. Is it too late to say no? By the end of the day, she was actually skiing. Yeah. I mean, yeah, not too bad. Because I was in love.

Oh, I love that. And it came from a reason to hold on to you. Yeah. That was really what she was trying to do. You got it. So you guys have been married for 31 years. Yes. And it seems like there's no love lost.

I mean, you really see, I mean, I'm looking at the way that Barb that you're looking at, it is Peter. She is that. Between Peter, Bud, Pete, Sr., dad. I don't know what to say. I'm just going to stick with dad. I see the way that she's looking at you dad. And you guys really just seem to have, you know, such a fire for each other, such a zest. that I know, like, we, everyone in this room, those who are newlyweds, engaged, maybe engaged, Peter.

I don't know. I really don't know. I don't want to know. But it's something that we aspire to. So I guess I just want to aspire towards. What do you do to keep the love alive? 31 years. Well, you know, something that helped right off the bat was we were both in the same business, you know, flight attendant pilot.

We got to fly together a lot. We flew to Europe a lot. Barbara was the language qual, so it was easier for her to bid the trips that I was flying. And, you know, having something in common like that was really nice, you know, just off the bat. Because, you know, being in the aviation industry, it's tough for somebody who doesn't understand, you know, like, you know, you're on a trip. You're gone for several days. You come home, you're dead tired. You might not want to do, go out, whatever.

But we didn't have that issue. And just she's just fun. I mean, she's just always up to do whatever, whenever, and just a lot of fun. You know, it's hard not to gravitate toward that. I love you, too. Oh, I love this. I love looking at you guys. So I want to know on all those flights that you guys had together, did we ever find moments

to sneak away? Basically, are you in the mile high club? Peter's like, oh, God, don't answer that. Are you in the mile high club? Yes or no? You know what? I think we're giving out a lot of information, but some information. Peter did it.

It's time for you to return the favor, okay? You had to hear about that damn windmill. So one more time. We need to hear your stories. But the important thing is, Peter, they're married. Okay. Well, okay, then. I'm just going to assume yes.

Okay, I have to take the fifth because I can't, I can't. Okay. Okay. So we know a little bit of how you guys keep the fire alive. Any advice for newlyweds like Miss Rachel over here or people who are engaged. I just moved in with my fiance a few months ago. So we're navigating this whole new chapter of our lives. But any advice for us, newbies in these relationships? trips. Oh, boy. I would say, do spontaneous things. I love it. That's one thing that we, before, even when the boys were born before that, we were very spontaneous. We'd just say, you know, let's go on a trip. We'd go, like we lived, at the time, we lived in Virginia, and we'd say, hey, let's go to New Orleans, because we want some Cajun food for the day. You know, let's go here. And just be, you know, have that spark that just doesn't die. Have that little. bit of mystique, you know, that you can offer each other by doing crazy things, fun things, you know, just things that come natural to you, but from the heart. And I... Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's great to do things together, but you each have to have your own thing, too, you know? So, I mean, I think that's very important. I think that is important. That's what my grandfather always said, you still need your own hobbies. Absolutely. You do. Yeah. I have a question.

And once you two got together, did you have to report it to the airlines, like the HR department because you were, do you have to do that? I don't know why. You know, things have changed so much now. I mean, it didn't matter. No, it didn't matter at all. See, I wish things could still kind of be like that. So did you get to travel together? Were you still in the same flight pattern?

Yes. Oh, yeah. If that's the correct terminology. How fun is that? We used to go a lot was, well, we did Europe. We did Europe. Spain, Madrid, Terrace. I'm just how Brian to get his license.

Should we become flight attendants through the podcast? They're hiring. Gareth's going to get his pilot license. Okay. And, no, we flew a lot. And, of course, when we got there, we always, you know, did something, you know, we'd go out to eat. We'd go sightseeing. I got to tell you a funny story.

Please. So it didn't always work out that our schedules meshed, right? And, of course, we had Peter. And how old was he? Oh, he was about six months. Was it six months? Okay. So, you know, there were quite a few times where I'd get home from a trip and I'd rush home so she could go on her trip and I'd take care of Peter and vice versa.

Well, I was in, yeah, I was coming home from Paris and we got delayed. And I'm like freaking out because I know that she's going to be flying. to Madrid, she's got Peter, you know, her mom is in Chicago, and so we're in the air and I'm tracking when we're going to get there. And so we get on the ground. I'm coming through immigration in Dulles Airport in Virginia. And I'm calling her, I'm saying, I'm coming through immigration. So she's waiting outside the doors and she hands me, Peter, and I take him home and she goes and flies her trip. I mean, that's how close it was. But the thing is, this is how close it really was, I was already boarding passengers and welcoming them on the flight.

With Peter and a first class seat in front there, because that's where you let, you know, when they first come in, I had him in the first class seat there, in the first class of seat in his little carrier, just looking at him and going, hi, welcome aboard. Welcome aboard. You're going to get you a glass of champagne. Don't mind my son over here. That was a good little entrance. I'd like that. And then I see him coming down, running down the jet way, and I'm going. And you'd never get away with that today, I mean, you know, just with the TSA and, you know, forget it, bring my kid on board?

No, where's his ticket? You know, I mean, it's just, you know, everything's changed. Peter was destined to be a pilot. Oh, absolutely. My goodness. I mean, I didn't know that you were a flight attendant and knew that you were a pilot or are a pilot. Yeah, still fly. Are you still a flight attendant?

No. Okay. I'm a realtor now. Oh, okay. Yeah, I feel like this was all meant to be. So since we threw Peter's name out here, let's talk about Peter because we know Peter one way. But you know I'm a whole nother way. So what was he like as a child?

I want to know the bad stories. Not the good ones. The naughty ones. The naughty ones. The naughty, yes. Was he a naughty child? No. You know, it sounds boring to say, but he really was not.

Oh, okay, so Peter's perfect. That's what you think. Wait until we get Peter in the seat. He really was, I mean, I have to say, he's, he's, from the day that he was born, he slept great. you know he slept in which I loved I mean he's he's always been a really good kid as a matter of fact I mean he one thing about him when he started kindergarten in first grade when he was able to write do you know that at the end of every work that he did you know you had to put your name right and I don't know where he started but he started it I am happy he would finish off the the paper with I am happy he did

He did. He did. Everything was, I was telling Peter the other day, says, you know, we have all this paperwork from Peter still. And everything at the end says, Peter Weber, I am happy. Oh, my gosh. So he's always been a really happy. He never had. No, seriously, when I look back, he's really, you know, we've been blessed with two great kids.

But Peter has never, you know, he's always been a really. I think the craziest thing you did that you got in trouble for. was in Oaks. Oaks, that's right. I just remembered that, your first detention. For what? For what? He climbed up onto the roof, you know, exterior roof, to watch a football game with some friends.

How dare you, Peter? Oh, my gosh. So they could identify me about my number. I know. You don't even do it. You just wanted to get into detention. And then when he told us he was in detention, we were like, both of us were like, we're looking at it. It's like, are you?

What? And then you found that why, and you're like, oh, Peter, that's Peter. He wasn't given another boy a swirly or anything. It was just climbing the roof. I am so touched by the eye-am happy. But let me tell you why, and I'm totally aging myself when I say this. In the room, show of hands, who's seen Legends of the Fall? Oh.

Okay, one of my favorites. Do you remember when Anthony Hopkins took that chalkboard and wrote, Am happy after he had the stroke? Yep. Yep. So now I'm excited. I'm expecting any time Peter signs autographs on his pictures. He better write, I am happy at the end.

I just love that story. That's like one of my favorite scenes in the movie. So I don't know. That just struck a nerve. That's beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. And I think it says a lot about who you are. And a lot about you as parents, right? Because I don't know what it says about my parents.

But it says something about you guys. No, so I want to know. So we obviously were talking about how you guys met and, you know, have the whole airline industry. In your background, when did you realize that Peter was going to follow in dad's footsteps? Oh, boy. Was there that one moment? Long ago, yeah.

I mean, one of my favorite pictures, how old was he in that picture in the cockpit with me? Three? Two or three. Yeah. You know, always loved airplanes. Always, this is pretty funny story, too. I'll tell you this. He was, it was in Brock Road Elementary.

and they had an assignment, you know, what do your parents do? Oh, yeah. He was in first grade. Okay, first grade. And as a pilot, you're home a lot. I mean, yeah, you're gone too on your trip, but you're home more than you're away. And he said that I mowed the lawn. Moes lawns.

You know, what does your dad do? He goes, he mows lawns. You know, because I used to have him in my lap on this riding mower, I'd just take them around, you know, and I had this green jumpsuit. It was a flying suit, military thing. And he goes, yeah, my dad mows lawns. And then the teacher once asked me, so your husband mows lawns? And I go, yeah, yeah.

But, you know, I didn't put two together. He does mow the lawn all the time because Peter had told him that. Yeah. But he told him that that's what his profession was because he always saw him mowing the lawn. So did Peter want to mow lawns to take after you? Well, he loved that tractor. I know that. He did.

But airplanes were always, you know, foremost. He always wanted to The first airline ride was two weeks old. Really? Yeah, he took him to Chicago to visit my mother when he was two weeks old. How did he do? Great. Because flying, I just

flew with my two-month-old nephew and he was surprisingly so easy. He made it look easy, but then you know, you always get the crying kids behind you. It's calming to them, you know? Like, well, he would before you even took off, run them down the runway, he'd be asleep. The first time he fell asleep before. But it's calming to the kids, unless they're an ear, in fact.

or something. Right. Are you possessed? I can't apply a negative adjective to you. Like, not at all. Like, everything just seems so great. And I believe it. And not scenes. I believe it.

I really do. I, okay, so watching Peter on Hannah's season, you know, I always just, you're always smiling, Peter. Like, he always just has this big grin. He's always, I am happy. He's happy. But now everything that you guys are telling us to just backs that up.

I want to hear like one besides climbing a roof there had to be one time where you had to ground him or something or you found him sneaking out with a girl like Miss Curfew Yeah because we saw him you know A little kissy kissing I'm sure we'll see a lot more There has to be something scandalous

He was very shy No he never talked to girls Really? He was so shy He never talked to girls When did the swag come then? You know even in Do you remember when you were in When he was even in grammar school

You know there was this really cute girl that we knew he had a crush on but of course he never told us but we can tell because he didn't want to be by her and just stay away from her and what and every time I'd drop him off in the morning, remember when I would

drop you off in the school in the morning and the girl was opening the doors for the kids when they came out and he's, move, go further, go further, don't, don't, no, and I would say, Peter, calm down, calm down. And I wanted to see the interaction

The girl was so cute, and they were only in fourth grade. But he was so shy, so shy. So when did he come out of his shell? With Hannah? No, no. That's why the first time you guys saw it. I love this joke. What a shell to come out of, right?

I mean, my goodness. No, he came out. I think what got him out of a shell was when you did. Thoroughly Modern Millie. He tried out for a play at this high school. And it was really good. Yeah, he was a really, he did a lot of dancing. Was it a musical?

Yeah, musical, thirdly modern Millie. Would you care to step up to the microphone and give us a little tune? I didn't sing. No, he danced. We're going to have to get some video clips. We'll be sure to get that dance on video later. Chris actually was at our high school for a play because his daughter is starring in one of the musicals. He was talking to my old theater teacher and she was telling him about the musical that I was in.

Show him pictures and everything. Okay, so speaking of Chris Harrison, did you, so he, his, his, His daughter went to your school growing up. He's there right now. Okay. So you, did you guys know him before Peter went on the show? No. No.

No. But we ran into him, remember, like, my senior year of high school, my dad was in the movie theater. Yes. We actually arrived by it. We filmed it. Yeah. We actually ran into Chris there. And I was like a fan of his.

Like, I went up to him, Chris, how you doing? Yeah. I'll see you in a few years. Yeah. I know. Can you imagine? It's crazy. He'll be your wingman in a couple years.

Yeah. Okay. So Peter sounds like he was a little bit shy. and tell this, what was the play, Millie? Thorly Modern Millie. Thoroughly Modern Millie. What was Jack like? And how was Jack handling this change with his brother?

The change from high school? Or just now Peter, you know, now being in the limelight and going on the show. He's so supportive of Bud. He's so supportive. I mean, they're best friends. You know, they have each other's backs all the time. I just love the relationship that they have. And Jack is super, super supportive of him, as he is, of always.

of Jack, because Jack is our genius. So he's always very... Yeah, he's all brains and... Jack is the smart one. Yeah, very smart. So we all support each other. Okay. I love that. So we asked mom and dad before recording the podcast

if Jack would potentially be the future bachelor. Apparently he's in a... In a serious relationship now. Yes, he's a very serious relationship. In a great, we love her. Oh, so I was about to say, you sound like you like her. Yes, very much so. We love her.

She's great. Yes. Okay. So we won't. touch that. Okay. So we'll support that relationship. Okay. So I want to talk to you from the aspect as families having to sit and watch Peter go through this whole crazy

bachelor journey. Because you guys seem to handle it so well. And Becca and I have both been through this and I think I know how my parents handled it. They were terrified for me to go and do. The bachelor, they were a little bit more supportive because I was going to be one of many. But then to be the lead

is a whole other level. And with that comes so much scrutiny and I'm just wondering for you how do you deal with having to watch from afar you know watch your son go off and do all of this hear the negative comments I'm sure family and friends are like did you see this did you hear this how do you deal with that either one mom or dad either one of you can take it you know I did you sorry okay yeah go ahead um you know when he when he first did the Bachelorette I really knew nothing thing about the whole aspect of the show and how it worked.

But he was so confident in what he was going to do on that show. I mean, he literally said, as he's walking to get into the limo, he says, I'm going to bring Hannah home. And I'm just, no, he did. And I'm thinking to myself, you know, I mean, that's pretty good confidence, right? I'm going, what are the odds of that? What are the odds of him even being on this show, right? but yeah there's always as a parent you you know you read negative stuff and you see negative stuff

yeah um at this point you just just let it you know roll off your shoulders because there's nothing you can do about it and he's he's he's handled it all so well right everything um you know his whole reasons for being on the show and he's true to that he's stayed true to that so anything that i see out there. I really don't pay much attention. And that's the thing. I mean, you as his parents know him better than anyone. And so, as long as you keep that in mind, I mean, my mom,

she was very hesitant for me to go on the show. She did not want me to. She did not want me to go on The Bachelor because she's like, the girls are going to be so catty and you're going to be like vying for one guy's attention. She was just not for it. So I just had to tell her, trust me, you know

me. And that's the thing. Like I said, you know him. And so you're going to hear all sorts of things from everyone and their mothers about their opinions and how he handled a situation with the woman or whatever choice he made that week. Like, you're going to get it all. And so to just brush it off and stay supportive and just focus on your family unit, that's the most important part. And just keep that in mind. Like, you just have to brush off all the comments you cannot read.

I keep, I had it tell my mom, like, you can't read into everything. Parents love to. I said, mother, get out of the comments. What are you doing? That's what I told my mom, too. My mom was the one who would watch back The Bachelor, and she'd get so mad that she would throw marshmallows at the TV. That was her way to get her aggression out.

And I'm like, okay, you can have your marshmallows, but don't go down the rabbit hole to read everything. Like, brush it off, just, you know me, you know my decision, you know who I'm at the end of the day, and that's all that matters. And you know, this kind son who is happy, who, you know, he's an adult. You give him his wings, and now he has to fly.

I'm making a shirt that says, I am happy. I'm telling right now. I can't get over it. I can't. You know, I agree with him wholeheartedly. I do have, like you said, I have friends, you know, that would call me and say, oh, my God, did you read this? And did you read that? And I was like, you know what?

Half of it's not true. No, I don't read it. You know why? Because I know who he is. I know the kind of person I raised. I know my son, who, you know, what he stands for. Right. And I know that I'm so proud of him and he's who he is to the very end.

And he's the real thing. So, you know, it goes in like, I don't waste my time, you know, and that. Because why waste your time? Right. You're just wasting time. There's a couple of things I do want to address, though. Like, for example, a lot of people gave Peter Flack about him living at home, which I personally was a fan of. I thought it was extremely financially responsible.

But I really did. But, I mean, I know, and we talked a little bit about this off the air, but how did you feel about that? Because I think it goes a little bit deeper. It goes a lot deeper than that. I have to tell you, first of all, we are a very, very close family, very close. You know, Peter, Jack, my husband, and I, you know, we're basically one, you know. And we support each other in every which way. And we're each other's best friends, not just parents, but we're everything.

to each other, right? So what I want to go back to now is, yes, there's flag on that. But I would laugh. I would laugh because people forget, I'm Cuban, okay? Guvana all the way, you know, to the point that, you know, in old-time Cuba, and I'm not, you know, a spring chick by all means, but in all-time old Cuba, the kids would be at home and they would get, you know, in their 20s, they would get married, and then they would still live at home, they would have children, and the grandparents, it was one big happy family, everybody living at home. So contrary to what a lot of people, you know, oh, I can't wait to get rid of the kids or whatever, at such an early age, you know, 18, they're out of the house or whatever. Our culture is a little bit different

and not that one is right and one is wrong. We are just the, we want to keep, you know, that family tie, that unity together. and that's one of the reasons that Peter and my other son, Jack, are still living at home because there's no reason, really, to move out. They work four days a week, let's say for Peter. He works four days a week. Then he has four days off, and he goes with his friends away, you know, like they take a little mini vacation, wherever, and then he comes back,

and he goes right back to work. So is that really smart to be paying, you know, a lot of money, money monthly until you can buy a house. So I always tell him it's best to save your money, which he can buy a house tomorrow if he wanted it. Hey, that's more than another contestant on the show, but he can do it. And responsibly, he can do it. But, you know, I'm just looking for the right place for him. You know, when we do decide that he's going to take that step to help him find that. But, you know, we're very happy living at home, you know, to get everybody, you know, together.

It seems like it. I think it's important that you address that because I think it's a, like you said, it's a cultural thing. And it's not as, you know, everyone's like, oh my gosh, you know, Peter lives at home. But when you break it down that way and you explain it, and I do understand it on a certain level, having married into a Latin family, I do get that. And I think that there's a way to look at it as in Peter's very close to his family. And that's very rich and that's very healthy. And I know for me, I look to see if someone is close to their family because I think that's a very it's a reflection of them and and so I'm happy that you had the chance to explain that. Thank you. And especially at this point in his

life like his world is Peter your world is going to change it's going to be flipped upside down and I think this is the time when you're when the show is airing and after after all the craziness happens like this is the time to be with your family and to like be with the people who know you and who comfort you. That was one thing like I got off. of my season and at the time I was living in Minnesota and my mom lived 20 minutes from me and Garrett and I were with her all the time because

there was a point where there was so much craziness and our worlds had completely changed that I just wanted to be with my mom and with my sister and just spend that family time because I knew all of the otherness the craziness was happening so it's I think that's special that he has you guys to lean on and

be with you for support. Family is very grounding too you know I mean you know going on a show like this I can only imagine, you know, how does it not affect you in some way? You know, and, you know, just the examples I've given of people coming up and recognizing us, I mean, he's, it's just constant for him. And, you know, it's hard not to probably get a big head with that, but that's one thing that we love about him is how grounded he is. Yeah. And I think that's something that the viewers will, I think they saw enough of it in Hannah's season, but I think that they'll see it even more in his own.

that they'll appreciate in love. No, he's got a heart of gold, I will say that. The real success of the show, I would say, is, yes, obviously you want to find somebody at the end of it, but it's knowing who you are before you get into the show and then remaining that same person at the end of it and not letting it change you. Which sounds like, Peter, you're already there.

So at least we know you're successful in that part. Can't wait to find out about the other part. One thing I do want to ask is, because you all seemed very close before, Um, I feel like when I left for the show and came back, it brought my family even closer together. And at first, I didn't know if it was going to do that. I didn't know if it was going to be something that pulled us apart and that just changed so much. But it, it ended up bringing my family and even my extended family so close. Like, we would have watch parties every week

and we would have group attacks with like 30 people. And we still have that. Like, we're always talking with my cousins and my aunt and uncles. And so I, has it changed yet for you. I mean, and it's definitely going to change pretty soon, but... Well, we did that with the Bachelor ad, with the, you know, like you're describing the viewing parties and everything. I think it's definitely brought us closer, you know, and just the whole dynamic of the friends coming over and supporting them. And the Bachelor crews, you know, I mean, we are, I have to tell you, we have a little

family, right, but our family has grown tremendously with the Bachelor now. I mean, I can honestly say that we're all, you guys are all our family now because we feel so close. I mean, this has been an awesome journey. I will say that. It's been an awesome journey. And I'm going to start crying right now. People usually cry when they get here, so it's okay. No, I'm not kidding. You're not alone, and I'll probably be right behind you. No, because it's, it's, um... The producers have been

amazing. The producers have just amazing. Everyone, everyone in every department, in every aspect of it has been so, I mean, so there for us in every step of the way. for him. I mean, he's, you know, he's, when he left, I knew he was going to be just fine because there was so much love that everyone was pouring out for him and they poured out for us as well. We have just been, I mean, I know the whole family I can speak for all of us to say that we've been overwhelmed with the love and the support that we've gotten from the

bachelor. I think you touched on a good point. I think, you know, when you're watching the show, you see the Bachelor, Bachelorette, the contestants, there's so much more that goes into creating this show that's been around for years. And I think at times, from what I've read and heard, the

production team gets a bad rap, and that's, I think, is so unfair because, like you said, I mean, we stay in touch with some of them to this day. I mean, Garrett's parents are constantly texting a handful of them. Like, they're, like you said, they become friends and part of your

family and it just bonds you in such a way that I don't think most people realize and can even fathom. And so, you know, you see the relationships being made on the show, but there's so much more in the back end that people don't see that that's what makes the show special and that's what made a lot of it worth it for me and Garrett and our families as well. Listen, there's a reason the show has been on for so many years. It's not just because, you know, they create, this show, you know, other networks could do it. It's the people that run it. It's what they put into. It's what they put into it. It's the sacrifices that are made. They have families at home that they leave to do

this show. I also just want to say we did not pay the Webbers to say this. There are real tears being shed. They are not props. This is real. But I was a person who came onto the show. I'm extremely skeptical. And I overanalyze

everything. And I remember when I came on to do The Bachelor, I thought, I will not make friends. I definitely won't like the man who's the lead. He won't like me. and the producers and everyone, I can't trust any of them. I did a complete 180 by the time it was over, which made me comfortable in saying yes to being the Bachelorette

because I knew that I was going to be taken care of. And I love hearing other people tell their stories and how it's similar. And I know it's going to continue. And that's why, you know, my children will probably be on the show. It'll still be on. I won't let them. I wouldn't let my kids either.

No, no, it's true. It's true. I mean, you know, when I write to all of them, you know, and saying thank you and so forth, you know, at the end of the show now, I did say, I said, you know, we will be family forever, forever family. I always sign it, you know, forever. It was tough to say goodbye, you know, when we were at the last location. And because, I mean, so many of the crew members came up to us and, you know, said how much they enjoyed working with him and it was just a pleasure and, you know, getting things. to meet us and vice versa. And it is.

It's like a family. It's amazing what they do. So you feel that way now, right? Because you've gone through, because we know the journey's over at this point. But when you first found out that Peter was going to be the bachelor, of course you were excited, right?

I mean, it's an honor. Like, let's just wear it like a badge of honor. We're all three leads in this room. It is an honor to be chosen out of many to represent this franchise as their lead, period. It still feels weird to say that and think that too, though. I still don't think I actually went through it. I feel like it's a dream.

And it does feel like a dream. I do too. But it really is a humbling experience one, but it is such an honor. That's what made me want to say yes. I thought you want me out of everybody who's come through here. You see something in me that I don't quite see in myself at this point. But when you heard that he was going to be the bachelor, okay, once the excitement died down, how did you feel were you like oh my gosh my baby what's going to happen here who are these women

these strangers that are going to go after my baby you know when he when he was on the bachelorette the very first when he left that day going back a little bit when he left to go on the show that night he walked out the door and the car was waiting for him and his last words to me were I'm going to find love you know he soaked those words to me and I never forgot those words you know and you know he did he went to look for love unfortunately love wasn't waiting for him in that show but when he went on to the bachelor you know my biggest thing was he's going to go find love you know because he that's that's his thing he he's on the show for love and that's strictly what it was for and you know i remember him saying it and i go now you have the

chance. You know, it's up to you now. And I just felt so happy, you know, for him. I mean, I just felt so thrilled and excited for him to go on that journey to find, you know, to see if he could find that person. To be in control. But it's a whole other level, you know, I mean, when, you know, when they chose him, like you said, out of all of these people that have, you know, been on this show, it's quite an honor. And, but I knew that he would represent well. So I, I, I had no fears there, and I knew that because he was, his heart was so pure in what he was trying to do that, you know, everything would happen the way it's supposed to happen. So you trusted in Peter. Oh, absolutely.

How did you feel about knowing that your son, your little baby, was going to have 30 girls vying for his heart? That's the part I think if I was a mom would make me nervous. Actually, you know what? Yes, I could say I was a little nervous. I think he's 30 women together and he's Peter is I mean you don't know Peter that well yet because you know you don't really like we do here but Peter is one that likes to make everybody happy besides him being happy he likes to make everybody happy he's a people pleaser you know and I was worried about that you know and I didn't want him to get hurt you know and and because he is an emotional person very emotional and I just, you know, I was like 30 women, and he's got to deal with, you know, 30 women and the way he is, you know, trying to be there for everyone. And you say that, you say that, so I wonder if that worry, how big that worry was for you, because you say Peter, love, it sounds like Peter loves love, and he, and the one thing missing in his life is love, and to know that all these women were going after him, and he wants to make everyone happy, were you afraid that maybe he would fall in love with everybody? I actually did say that.

I was like, Peter's going to fall in with like seven women. And it was a compliment. And I say that because he just seems to wear his heart on his sleeve. And he wants it so badly. Were you afraid that it might be too much for him? Or he'd get lost in it. The thing with him is, you know, he doesn't see anything negative. He doesn't have a negative, negative glasses at all.

He sees positive in everyone. You know, ever since he was a little kid, you know, you'd have kids come home and say, oh, so-and-so did this to me, mommy, you know, someone, you know, took my pen or complained or something about someone. To this day, 28 years later, I can tell you that that guy has never complained about, you know, a, you know, a pen being stolen from him, you know, from school or, and I was kind of nervous with the girls because it was relating to the girls now at the same time.

I'm like, oh, my gosh, he's going to like, he's going to see everybody being very nice. and, you know, sometimes he might not see the true colors or somehow. That's where mom comes in. That's where mom comes in. What's your birthday? You're a Leo. Oh, my gosh, you are not a Leo. No, I had an X that was a Leo, and man, keyword X, you are, might be the nicest Leo.

I was expecting you to say Aquarius or Pisces, by the way that you were describing him. But, okay, anyway, sorry. I always ask, I'm a tourist. Can you not tell? Can you not tell? So you guys know Peter better than anybody, right? That's your baby. And I'm just curious as to what you think Peter needs out of a partner.

What kind of woman do you want Peter to bring home? Okay, he's got to have somebody that has a love for life like he does and is willing to do anything at the drop of a, hat, you know, be impulsive to just live life because he is all about living life. Spontaneous, loves to travel, a sweep. He's always said that he really wants, looking for a sweep. Yeah, he's got to have somebody with a heart as good as his because he's, he's got a great heart. He really does. And whoever he chooses is going to be a very lucky woman.

I will say sitting down with you too and seeing your love for each other and for your sons whoever if, I don't know what happened yet if he chose someone or whoever he ends up with will be one very lucky girl and if she doesn't want to travel I will be the plus one

she's got some big shoes to feel I just feel like you know if you again we have no idea but whoever you bring home if you bring someone home I just feel like she's kind of got she needs to step up her game

Because you guys are the real deal. You're very genuine. And I hope that, you know, Peter, if you did find love, that the woman fits in perfectly because... I almost feel like she better fit in. Because I feel like I'm going to be mad that you did not put Peter, Pete Senior, and Barb all through this. Like, she better step up if she's there. I feel like I'm getting invested now in this family. Right.

And if she's not up to par, I'm going to be very upset, Peter. I'm mad. I'm gonna really need to meet her if there is someone at the end. Hey, you know what? If there is someone at the end, you'll have to come over for a nice Cuban dinner. And from there, we'll take it.

I just like want to be like the mean cousin. Like the grilling cousin. Like, I just like want to grill her. And then I'll be the one that gets her a little tipsy to get all the good details out of her. Oh, I like this. Yeah, I like to her real well. See, I think that would work perfectly.

Peter's like I didn't end up with anyone. Don't put anyone through. She'll either be laughing or crying by the end. She wouldn't know what she's feeling in that moment. Oh, that's funny. Okay, so a little bird on the street said that you guys may be making an appearance. Now, we know that typically we see the parents towards the end, right? So we expect that.

But I'm hearing you guys come on a few times this season. America loves you so much that we need to get a little taste test as the season starts. We must protect Barb at all costs, right? Oh, my God, that's funny. No, no, yeah. We're very fortunate to be able to be part of one of Peter's date on his date. He will come. We're going to have a renewal, a vow renewal ceremony for us.

Oh, my gosh. After. Our invites must have been lost in the mouth. It's okay. I did send him out. We got invited to get sent him out of time. We're going to happy out of the amount. Hey, you're coming over for the Cuban meal, remember?

Yeah, exactly. So anyway, we did have Cuban food that day, by the way, too. No, so we, yeah, we did have a beautiful, I have to say. It was very exciting. Thank you. Thank you to everyone that made it possible. It was a beautiful, beautiful day. You know, when we first got married, we got, you know, we got married in Hawaii on a sailboat.

And it was a very little wedding. So adventurous. 31 years ago it was very tiny it was just my mother my best friend and and us the captain of the boat the photographer and a photographer and that's all it was so now this was really i i i would say it to the producers all the time this was really our wedding yes she kept calling it a wedding i keep calling our wedding because at the time you know we we just wanted to get married we didn't have a lot of money. We were just starting out. And our big thing was to get married because we were so much in love. And we did. We got married, but we didn't have a big ceremony by all means or anything

like that. And now it was a beautiful. So thank you to The Bachelor for making our dreams come true. Let me tell you something. Beautiful. If there's a hierarchy, when it comes to the Bachelor franchise. There are contestants. There's, I'm going to put the Bachelors below us, Becca. There's Bachelors. They're the Bachelorettes. And then they're the freaking Webbers. Because let me tell you, let me tell you something. You know who didn't get a ceremony? This one. Don't delete this out either. And I didn't want, and I, and I'm glad we did it. But I just think it's so funny that that's why I'm like, you guys are at the top because there are couples that are

trying to get weddings and ceremonies and who got it? The Webbers. They deserve it though. Not that you didn't, but they definitely do. I don't want it. I'm totally fine. I'm just like making a joke of it. But I'm just saying how much it is, you know, you talk about what the production means to you, but it also shows what you mean to them. And I think it's beautiful

and I can't wait to see it. I can't wait to watch it. I want to know one thing. Did you wear white? Wait till you see it. Okay, okay. Wait till you see it. I've got to get a bit of a bit of a. Did Chris Ayrson officiate it? I'm sorry? Did he do the officiating?

That's another surprise. That's going to be a big surprise for you guys. Were you in it, Peter? Peter, were you the ring bearer? Well, I think that's so special that you were able to renew your vows with your sons there and part of this crazy, amazing show. They did a good production. And my family.

My family. Oh, that's so sweet. My family, my family, oh gosh, I'm going to start crying again. No, do you know that two days prior, I had just spoken to my aunt in Cuba. And it's hard to come out of Cuba. It's not easy. You know that. And two days prior, I had just spoken to her, and she said to me, she goes, oh, you know, how's Peter doing and so forth?

And I'm going, fine, everything's good, because she always wants to know about what he was doing at the time. And the day of the ceremony, I'm coming out and I go up on the stage. Jack is walking around. Yes, my youngest son is walking me out, Jack. And I'm walking out. And, of course, I don't want to look at the audience because I'm a little bit nervous. And I get up to the stage. And when I get to the stage and I look back, my aunt from two days ago that I was talking to Cuba, they flew her in from Cuba.

Oh, my God. I just got the chills off. You wouldn't have been able to control me. I would have lost it. My 95-year-old uncle, they brought. him in from Miami. Countless cousins, you know,

and I mean my aunts, and they brought them in from Miami. And then also my really dear friends from New York, Florida, I mean, I can't even think because I was just overwhelmed.

They were all there. And I just remember looking down while we were doing the ceremony and looking at the audience and going, you know, because I couldn't believe here was my aunt. I can't wait to see this. I can't either. It's beautiful.

Dad, did you get to meet with Nill Lane before? With who? Neil Lane? That's a no then. If you said, who? No. You would not forget if you met him. You would know.

The jeweler. Oh, okay. Remember the bracelet? Oh, yeah. See? Oh, you did. Oh, I knew it. I know it.

And the earrings. And the earrings. Oh, well, same. Meill Lane coming through. He's a great guy. So I'm, yeah. Man, if I was the girl who was chosen to. be that date, I would have gone back to that house and told

everybody, you can go home. Let me tell you what I just witnessed today. I met the aunt. The cousin's and family uncle. Oh, I mean, I'm telling you she's in the fam. It's been fun. Hand me your roses and good night.

Well, I'm excited to watch this. I'm excited to watch the entire season. I can't wait. Just again, seeing the love you two have and knowing the support that Peter has. I think it's going to make for a great season. Thank you so much. It's such a pleasure to be

here and to meet you both. It's been great. It's been a lot of fun. Well, you'll see more of us because we're coming over for dinner. This isn't a joke. No, I know. No. I'm genuinely telling you, you guys are coming over for Cuban food. Yeah, I mean, now we know where you live so, I mean, we could probably just go knocking

on doors and figure it out at this point. We'll find you. Have you seen the weathers? Excuse me. Where the pork roast comes from, the smell of the pork roast, that's our house. We're going to smell you down. I have one question. Can my fiancé come? Absolutely.

He likes to eat a lot, though. That's good. Like, he might eat all of the food just to worry. So we might need to, we'll bring some apps. I have two boys that do the same thing. Okay. It's a guy thing. And you bring your husband.

Oh, no, he's coming. He's coming for sure. For sure. Maybe, all of you, sorry. Peter will be bringing, um, who? Hmm. Hmm. If anybody, right? Andrea, Janice.

Oh, I can't wait to meet her. I don't know Canelope Is there not a Janice on the season? All right, listen, we could keep going with you guys You guys are so much fun Thank you for being so open and honest And sharing your story

Telling stories about Peter I know we tried to get the dirt On you guys and Peter But there really isn't any dirt to tell I mean, what you see is what you get Which is very refreshing It's very beautiful And I'll just say it

when we're living in a time and by living I mean in the bachelor world in this franchise where the motives of people coming on to the show are so questioned and for me and I know I can speak for you too Becca it is so nice to be sitting in this room

and to know exactly what we see on screen is exactly who you are now I can't say the same for the women that are on your season because I haven't met them or seen them yet but it is truly truly nice to see you guys and to see how you are and to know that you're the real deal.
