Guaranteed Human.
Hey guys, it's us.
The Jonas Brothers. I'm Joe.
I'm Kevin.
And I'm Nick.
And guess what?
We created our own podcast called, Hey Jonas.
We invented a podcast?
Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.
We're the first people to do podcasts.
We get to ask other people questions because we're sick and tired of being asked questions.
Well, sick and tired is a strong way to put it.
But, you know, tired and sick.
Tired and sick.
Listen to Hey Jonas on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you.
you get your podcast. Just listen. We don't care where you hear it.
Another podcast from some SNL late night comedy guide. Not quite. Unhumor me with Robert Smygel
and friends. Me and hilarious guests from Jim Gaffigan to Bob Odenkirk to David Letterman
help make you funnier. This week, my guest, SNL's Mikey Day and head writer, Streeter Seidel,
help an Acapella band with their between songs banter. There's the worst singer in the group.
The worst? Yeah. Me. Is there anything to the idea that because you're
from Harvard.
You only got in
because your parents
made a huge donation.
The group.
The yard birds, right?
That's the name.
The Harvard Yard's, but they're open.
Do you have a name suggestion?
We're open.
Since you guys are middle age,
one erection.
Listen to humor me with Robert Smigel
and friends on the I-Heart radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your
podcast.
You love me.
I need some.
Some jokes to make me seem funny.
Hey, it's Ashanti Plummer from Fud Around and Find Out.
This week, Aizzie Fudd and I sat down with Step and Curry.
Step talks pressure, confidence, and what it really takes to stay great.
There's different categories, I guess, so I'm like conditioning, shooting drills
where you try to simulate kind of games.
Look at her face.
We have a love-hate relationship with those because you know you're getting something out of it.
You don't look forward to those days.
Listen to Fud Around and Find out on the Iheart Radio app, Apple,
podcast or wherever you get your podcast.
If a baby is giggling in the back seat, they're probably happy.
If a baby is crying in the back seat, they're probably hungry.
But if a baby is sleeping in the back seat, will you remember they're even there?
When you're distracted, stressed, or not usually the one who drives them, the chances of
forgetting them in the back seat are much higher.
It can happen to anyone.
Parked cars get hot fast and can be deadly.
So get in the habit of checking the back seat.
when you leave.
A message from Nitsa and the Ad Council.
Therapy is fantastic, but once again, it does not have a monopoly on healing.
That's why I create the resources and that's why I create the community because I really
just want you to have more access.
On the podcast, Cultivating Her Space, Dr. Dom and Terry Lomax create a space where
black women can show up fully and be heard.
It's tough because we're suppressing our emotions and so many of us are like high
achieving individuals.
Listen to Cultivating Her Space on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcast.
or wherever you get your podcast.
Welcome back, everyone.
We are back for part two with Carrie, and we have so much more to talk about.
So let's get right to it.
Speaking of like reconstruction of gowns, obviously, I remember mine because I was like having some little episode with the high neck.
So I was like, can we just take the neck out?
Can we do like a sweetheart neckline?
Mine apparently had to be rebuilt and sent across the country.
I don't need.
I didn't even know this.
Yeah, I needed to send it to Randy Rom.
Literally multiple times.
And then Michelle's, hers was hand-beated.
It took how long-
Michelle's dress not only hand-beated, but hers was about,
I know that there was a story about the guy
that Michelle's dress for the commercial
was done by this young gentleman who is an amazing talent.
But somehow in the story it came out that his dress
took 600 hours to make.
But the truth was it was her real dress, the Randy Rahm dress that she wore.
They hand-beat it.
So in the back, the back of her attelier, there are four women that sit with a piece of stretch fabric.
Oh, my gosh.
And each one of them is sewing an individual bead.
And they all meet in the middle, and then they go to the next row.
What?
And that's crazy.
It's insane.
And that's just for this piece.
And you know how long those dresses are.
Correct.
And that's why it takes Randiom.
Randy's dresses, and that's why Randy's dresses, number one, are so gorgeous.
Yeah.
But number two, why they're also so expensive.
Correct.
It's just the labor.
That makes sense.
Michelle's dress for the commercial was gorgeous, but this was somebody that I had told where to get the fabric.
Fabric was my favorite.
It was a burnt out velvet.
He did a gorgeous job.
I explained to him about how she likes one shoulder.
She and I had already been working a little.
We've been doing some press and things like that.
So I started getting a feeling as to like what her favorite looks were,
like how you didn't like anything around your neck.
Correct.
You had, right.
You had always covered.
Right.
But the slits on you started going higher and higher and higher.
Yeah.
And so we always find something that makes it look like you are a little sexier.
You know, sometimes you look at a dress on the rack.
It looks like shit.
Yeah.
I mean, no.
I got to be honest.
Even I look at it and like, okay, do I even want to show this to anybody?
And then all of a sudden it picks up a new life when you see it on.
And then if you give me a few minutes, and especially working with all of you, you guys get into it as much as I do where you're like, I don't like the slit on this side.
Can we close that one and add one here?
I'm like, that's my favorite question.
You're like, can we raise the slit?
I'm like, let's take it to the house.
Take it all the way over here.
I love a slit.
No, that was my favorite question.
She was one I would make you have to sit.
Yes.
And see, can you sit sideways now?
Can you see me?
I mean, can you talk to a boy on either side of you if you have to?
No, I didn't play.
I was like, cut it.
I was like, keep going.
Don't stop.
I'm dead.
Speaking of Randy, every bachelor since Rachel Lindsay has worn Randy on night one.
What is the relationship there?
Love her.
Okay.
Everybody will tell you.
I love this question.
me to a party that Randy did.
I was, she was my date and Joan was my date.
And we had the most amazing night.
It was so fun.
I know everybody thinks I'm sleeping with Randy Rom.
I am not.
I, everybody tells me on the phone, you know how I talk to all of you guys for like an
hour beforehand asking you about your underwear, about what type, you know, like, what
type of bras do you like, what kind of bathing suits do you like?
What kind of lingerie do you like?
You know, and at that point, you're all a little shy by the time I get to.
Well, you know, there's going to come a time where I'm going to need to buy you some lingerie, I think.
And so, you know, I will usually go back to that question later.
But we go through so many different things of like, if I told you you're getting on a Saturday night date, tell me what you would wear out of your closet.
And I also make you bring it.
just because I believe that there's got to be a night that you're not enjoying me.
I mean, just those nights where it doesn't matter what I would show you,
where you're just, but what I love is you're comfortable enough with me to say,
can I just get dressed by myself?
I'm really tired.
I really don't want to be dressed up tonight.
And you go and you just pull something.
And that's why I always tell people, bring your favorite two things.
That way, if you're having a horrible day, you can go into your own suitcase and pull out that.
Never happens.
Yeah.
It's like a factory.
I did.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I didn't.
Besides maybe like traveling.
Most people don't.
I think knowing that you can just makes it easier because there are nights where you just don't want to be touched again.
Everybody forgets the women's are the hardest.
The men have it easy.
They can put around a sweater or jean, walk out.
It's so easy.
Makeup and hair takes them six minutes.
Getting dressed takes them three minutes.
You know, there's nothing to it.
And if they're cold, they have a jacket with them.
Right.
You guys are, I'm not bringing this outfit.
Hell no.
And then the next thing you know, it's like, fortunately, I've pushed you just to find something.
Let's get a leather jacket that will make sense with the outfit.
Do something.
Because when that sun starts going down or you start getting chilled, tell me, you're going to
be miserable when you get home.
Yes.
And how many times did you have to jump into a hot bath just to get those feet thought out?
I was drunk enough.
No, I'm like, I had my alcohol.
And that's what I do.
Honestly, yes, but I did have a few cold days.
Maybe Gina not so much because she has to draw a straight line.
That's why I don't zip you at night.
Going from the morning fitting to the night, it ain't completely different.
No, it's scary.
No, it's true.
It's day and night.
It's true.
It's day and night.
Just tell me what.
you want. I showed you things this morning. You kind of picked it. You're changing your mind.
Knock your socks off. Just go whatever. Go ahead. Okay. I think we should do our behind the seams.
I'm excited for that. We're going to play a quick game called behind the seams. We'll show you
some iconic looks and you're going to have to give us the story behind them. So we even pulled our
podcast staff so they pulled some looks and we're going to show them right now. Yay. My favorite.
Okay. Hello everyone. We
hope that you're enjoying the episode.
And if you are an audio-only listener, head over to Bachelor Happy Hours Instagram.
We have all the looks posted on our page so that you can check them out while you listen.
And we hope that you love this episode as much as we do.
First, we have Rachel's Night One dress.
Oh, my goodness.
I love that.
I love that.
I know that everybody hollers at me about that.
I've used this dress.
You know, I don't think, I just, right.
I don't know.
understand what people don't understand that there's only so many different styles of dresses but tell
me you did not feel beyond spectacular in that dress i loved that dress i also loved there was like a green
heel right and i loved that i think didn't we take the seam it like got sewed up for the actual night
one well because sometimes that's what happens on that night when i it's almost a dress rehearsal but
it's not because you guys really, you're never really doing anything.
You're just getting out of a car.
You're not, maybe you'll talk to Jesse.
But, you know, that's more for me a little too.
Because sometimes that dress may not have had all of that lining in there.
Sometimes they think a lining makes somebody look old.
And especially lately, I've taken a few too many linings out and I'm now starting to add them back yet.
Got it.
And so, yes, that dress started going.
way too high where I could see everything.
Wow.
Because people have to remember I'm 5-2.
So this dress on me compared to what it would be on, like, Michelle.
Her slit would be down here where it was like literally up to my,
that's my belly button where it was like hitting.
No, I see.
I'm like, it's past like, past the hip bone.
I love that dress.
May I remind you that she's also the woman who said to me,
could we just go a little higher?
Oh, you was pulling on me.
I had to have something because at the time, those are my old boo.
Those are my two boobs ago.
And I hated them because I just wanted to be covered up.
So the only way I could be sexy was the slit.
So we had a, that was a perfect compromise to me.
Carrie loved it.
I loved it.
I loved it.
I'm like, these are not coming out.
The night before, though, I was still trying to change the straps.
So that I knew when she sat down because that dress, when, if you don't have the straps,
exactly where they need to be.
I said hello boy.
Hello boy is indeed.
Rachel and Gabby's side picture.
That's how she learned that pose.
Just stick your leg out.
Under any circumstance, just stick your leg out.
You'll be fine.
I love it.
No, this is gorge.
I'm Cynthia Lois.
And I'm Josie Dye.
And we're done pretending we have it all figured out.
Each week we laugh, cry, and talk our way through life's messiest moments.
The things you think about but would never say out loud.
The questions you are always too shy to ask.
Relationships, regrets, awkward moments.
and the stuff no one warns you about.
It's honest, it's funny,
and sometimes it gets a little uncomfortable.
But that's kind of the point.
This is Cynthia and Josie's unmentionables.

We have some big news.
What's the news, name?
Huge news.

Well, we didn't invent it.
We just contributed to it.

Pretty, yeah, pretty wide.
range of podcasts throughout there.
But this one's extra special.
So how do we actually come up with a name, Hey Jonas, guys?
I honestly don't remember.
I think it was on a call about what we should call it.
Well, we were thinking I'm originally calling it one of the early names of our band.
Before Jonas Brothers was...
This is how you guys remember it going down?
Yes.
I have a very different memory of this.
We were talking about a thing, a bit for the podcast,
where people could call in and say, hey Jonas.
and then I wrote down on my little notepad, Hey Jonas,
and offered it up as a potential title for the podcast.
But thanks for remembering that, guys.

But there's so much more to me than me.
I'm an actor.
I'm a comedian.

and hormonal crying jag at a time.
You ladies know what I mean.
I'll bet you a paramedeposal chin here you do.
So let's talk about it.
Join me on my new podcast.
How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Ariya.
where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate Midlife's most fantastic BS.
All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own.
I was like, what the hell is that?
I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that nest was going to be.
Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.
Wait, what sex?
Dating at 45. How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy?
That one's kind of hard.
Well, that's lighting.
They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try.
So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter,
and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask,
How Hard Can It Be?
I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.
Listen to How Hard Can It Be with Diana Maria Riva
as part of My Cultura Podcast Network available on the Iheart Radio app,
Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Next, we have Charities Night One Dress.
Oh, my goodness.
Wow.
This was, to me, I can't.
But the colors were spectacular.
The color is everything.
That dress trying to keep it up because it was so heavy.
Do you remember how tight?
It started raining.
It started raining my night when.
Do you remember?
Of course I remember.
And the bottom, like, I was going through it.
I will never understand why we always shoot the women's in the winter and the men's in the summer.
I don't get it either.
The men are sweating their outside, top.
And the women are sitting there.
in you can see how wet
the ground is and
the dress is absorbing every
piece of that dirty water
and as the dress is getting heavier
I'm watching the dress get falling
down on her more and more
me and Turty both have new boots
like oh yeah zero cleavage is fine
and freezing
I mean I know that I did I love the color
me too
people forget though that the driveway it's wet
and then they keep re-wetting it
yeah because so it has that little shine
And the steam that's just like coming up.
It's freezing.
My God.
Freezing.
Your shoes are already completely soaked within the first second.
Literally yes.
The dress is already absorbing the water.
Do you remember our shoe changed?
Because it was so wet.
My strap.
And I was like, Carrie, I come running.
I'm like, I have no shoes.
She's moving on to another date.
She's supposed to be coming to me so that I can get her shoes.
And all of a sudden I see she's walking in different direction.
I'm like, girl, you're not got, you have no shoes on.
I mean, what are you doing?
Come to me.
No, I literally was like, I can't wait.
I can't, right.
Just bring him.
She said to me.
She said to me, goodbye, Carol.
She's like, just bring him to me.
No, I literally.
So I'm sitting there and I'm watching her.
Okay, next we have Hannah Brown's promo pant dress.
Oh, this will always be my iconic.
The pants suit with the over skirt.
This was the commercial, though.
Yes, yes, yes.
was and I will tell you, out of all of the commercials that we've ever done, I have to say,
this commercial won awards, this commercial deserved every.
Yeah, no, it was like this dress was everything.
She hated the outfit, but she didn't understand what the commercial was going to be.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And so she didn't know that she was going from a pageant to, right, to just being a new bachelor.
And it was the, the commercial took.
Gus at least felt like 24 hours, but she and I walked up and down a hill.
And all I kept saying was if she rolls her ankle and she can't be in heels for the next two days,
I'm going to kill all of you.
Yeah.
I remember you telling me that.
I was like, oops.
She and I would walk up this hill and down.
And she'd walk down the hill.
We'd walk back up the hill.
And I kept saying, somebody telling me, you got it this take.
Oh, my goodness.
This commercial was iconic and Michelle's.
I like those were amazing.
No, I love, I love, sorry I was something in my eye, but I love, I love Michelle's.
Yes.
Love, love, love, love.
Yeah, I love, love, love.
That house was beyond, you know, we get to go into these most amazing locations.
You've, you know, just the travel alone, for the people who went through it with, you know, COVID, I just feel so bad for what they've missed.
I mean, we've been in castles, we've been in palaces, we've been in people's homes that, you know,
I mean, I walked through a man's closet and just thought, I'm just going to move in here.
I don't care.
That was as in New Orleans.
I was like, no, that.
It was, it's insane.
And doing the commercials were so much fun.
Rachel's two, they, I must have had to redo pedals.
We had 17 different things that each time she would take a different step, I would change the skirt going.
a different direction so that her leg would kick out.
These small things people don't realize.
I know.
There's so much.
There's so much.
Okay.
Next is Jen's Mentel All-Dress.
Oh, love that dress.
I love that dress.
I could not remember that one when I saw it on the list.
I love that one.
She is taped into it.
I know.
That's right.
Because we're in a live studio with fans all.
around us.
Can you not have a moment?
No.
Not right now.
You know, it's one thing on the show if the cameramen see something and they, you know,
and they stay.
It's scary.
But, you know, when we're in a live thing, no, I prefer.
And she felt gorgeous.
I mean, I think I would have closed it a tiny bit.
But I think when I went to, she was.
Yes, I believe my hand was swatted.
I love the way it's like a little bit long.
Mercury.
No, it's
perfect.
And that color on her, like you said,
it's fantastic.
The color is so good.
Next is
Cindy's after the final
rose dress.
Cindy's dress.
She looks hot.
She was so hot.
I'm like, I love this.
And she, right.
She is gorgeous.
I mean, this is a woman
in, you know,
we're talking,
you know,
my age.
She looks amazing.
And it's,
but she is,
she is stunning.
Is that strapless?
Or is it?
Spaghetti straps.
I can't see, obviously, because of her hair.
It's like a halter.
A halter, amazing.
No, I'm like, it's fitting perfectly.
That metal is...
The wire.
Yes.
Yeah, metal wire.
I love the necklace, too.
But even I can see now that there's a boobab showing.
Wow.
See, this is the things that I see.
Yeah, I'm like, you caught it quickly because I'm like, where?
I see it a little bit now.
Trust me, when I tell you, I tried.
But her boobs also.
She need, got it.
Right.
And so when that dress, I can bend it all I want.
But when she sat, there's nothing I could do.
Next we have Taylor Frankie Paul's Night One dress.
Oh.
My baby.
This is a dark olive.
I know it looks black here.
It does because I was like it looks black.
I loved the simplicity for her.
And she had that green.
I don't remember which one of you did not know how to hold a stole.
you learned you became good
how to hold what
how to hold a stole
like when you got cold
did I
no because you would just drape it right
yeah but you started wearing it like
over one shoulder
you know it is what it is I just need to be warm
hello at this point
I mean at one point I think you were wrapping it around
your neck like it was
like a scar
I'm like
I need to show you
come on
did she have a black one
she had a matching green
oh amazing
hers was a
Good stole.
Olive green love.
Yeah.
That is stunning.
Was Taylor, did she want to be more laid back like for her rose ceremony outfits or just like the day to day?
No. Taylor told me she wasn't into any secret.
I figured that.
She didn't want any of the bachelor kind of looks.
She didn't want to be shiny.
She didn't want to be sequinny.
She didn't want to be crystals and things like that.
She wasn't into, you know, just know I've heard about this Randy Rom.
I don't want any of her things.
Oh, she said that?
Yeah.
And she was like, I'm like, okay.
I'm like, so we had a lot of plain dresses and different things.
You know, but I looked at like what she had ever dressed up in.
And I thought, okay, I know big oversized sweats and oversized.
She's very, like, chill.
Very, very chill.
And then we got to the fitting.
And she, one thing, she is, besides having the sweetest, cutest, cutest,
personality and I will defend that until the end I die.
But she also is a worker.
She's fast, she's decisive, and she knows.
And she was going down the rack and she kept handing me things.
And somehow it was a beaded Randy Rom, and then another beated Randy Rom.
Then a beated Randy Rom.

you only got in because your parents made a huge donation.
The yard herds, right?
That's the name.
The Harvard Yard, but they're open.
Do you have a name suggestion?
We're open.
Since you guys are middle-aged, one erection.

Hey, I'm George Adano.
you might know me as that loud guy who yells out,
help on the internet.
But there's so much more to me than me.
I'm an actor. I'm a comedian.
And recently, I've become quite the helper myself.
And on my new podcast,
hope from a hypocrite, I'll be changing lives,
helping people in need with my sage advice
and thoughtful solutions.
Sike, I'm a comedian.
I'm not qualified to give good advice.
Join me and my comedian friends
as we riff rant and recommend some of
the most legally dubious.
advice known to man.
If I'm calling you, even if you're on your phone, let it ring twice.
One ring is too scary.
Cream a chicken suit.
Hey, cream a chicken suit.
This is Help from a Hypocrite, the worst advice from the dumbest people you know.

Hey, I'm Deanna Maria Riva, actress, mother, lover, and a Gen X woman walking through life one hot flash and hormonal crying jag at a time.
You ladies know what I mean.
I'll bet you a paramedipausal chin here you do.
So let's talk about it.
Join me on my new podcast.
How hard can it be with Deanna Maria Riva, where I call on my Gen X squads from Ohio to Hollywood as we navigate midlife's most fantastic BS.
All of a sudden, I'd had hanginess happening on my own.
I was like, what the hell is that?
I was married when I had her, so I didn't even consider how empty that Ness was going to be.
Mood swings, night sweats, fupas, sex drive.
Wait, what sex?
Dating at 45.
How can it be getting naked at 50 with the new guy?
That one's kind of hard.
Well, that's lighting.
They say we can't polish a turd, but we're sure going to try.
So let's get blunt with laughs, tears, or tears of laughter, and dive into it, unfiltered and unbothered and ask, how hard can it be?
I cannot believe I'm about to say this out loud in public.

And last but certainly not least, the Bachelorette reunion.
This was my favorite day.
Oh, I didn't even say I was in there.
You know that I was in tears that day.
This is the best picture ever.
Saying goodbye to everybody that day.
seeing all of you in one place.
I hadn't seen all of you together in so long.
And I,
the idea that that was the kind of love that I got.
I mean,
I was laying in bathtubs with some people.
Truly.
I mean, it was just.
But wherever anybody wasn't on camera,
I was kissing.
No, 100.
And you can see everyone smiles like,
ear to ear.
We're like the happiest.
No, it's like, this is the happiest moment for us.
I don't think you understand.
Yeah.
Like, clearly everyone's feeling the same exact feeling, which is like,
yeah, other than Gina, other than Gina who was looking to me and going,
motherfucker, of course, of course.
Like, who can say that, you know?
Like, who can say that they have?
Well, that's how I felt.
I thought to myself, you know what?
I don't care.
If this is what, if I'm going to die, this is the way I want to die today, just like this.
Oh, my goodness.
This picture is just such a testament.
I'm like, I actually need to frame it too.
I'm like, I need to frame this somewhere.
To how grateful we are for you and how you.
and how you have impacted every single bachelor's journey,
which is crazy to look at
and think that each person has a story
and that you're behind so much of it.
Yeah.
So much.
You've all touched my life so unbelievable.
I know people don't understand when I say it,
and they're like, everybody couldn't be like that.
And I didn't say everybody.
You know, thought.
Each one of you in your own way has shown me
an amount of respect, an amount of love, an amount of caring, and just making me feel as though I was the most loved person in the whole wide world.
And I've never felt like that ever.
And that day, you can just see, I am, there's a word called, I'll try it again, Kvelling, which is supposedly a Yiddish term for just, just where,
I'm most proud of everybody that I am surrounded by.
It was the best.
I love this.
I know.
That was a date.
Can someone print this out for me before I fly back home?
I need this.
I can print it out when I get home to do that.
I mean, each one of you, you all had your own story.
I mean, Jojo, I had to go.
She called the night before on a, she found a landline in her room, called the hotel operator.
Asked for my room and said, I need you.
And I'm like, it's 2 o'clock in the morning.
What's going on?
And I stayed with her the rest of the night.
It was the night before the finale.
And she's like, I just need to talk this out with you.
I wish I found a landline.
I know.
Everybody was on my last one there.
I was ready to get the fuck out of there.
You're like giving my man.
The yours was so great.
It was sweet.
But I just knew.
I mean, we didn't know.
It just, everybody was doing.
Right. It wasn't even a question.
Correct.
So yours was simple.
Hers was simple too.
No, I feel like me and Jojo both.
Like we definitely knew, but I think we were like having this like, oh.
Jojo was just having where she's like, I need, I need you to crawl in bed with me.
And I'm sure you've all seen my beautiful nighttime outfit.
I wear a 5x tee that cut a V and it is an extra large tall.
And it comes down to here.
And I have these shorts that I wear, that I buy from London.
This is the one you talk to be.
I have a pair of my.
You've never seen them.
I have never been in bed with me.
Me and Gabby.
I have not in your nighttime PJs.
Oh, well, as soon as I walk in my house, I usually have tonight,
I'll realistically in bed with them.
We watched me and Gabby's night one in Carrie's bed in our matching uniforms.
And I still have it to this day.
And I would never get rid of it.
I am hollering.
Rachel has her.
I'll wear mine to his house.
I mean, Hannah Brown had her own, but Hannah Brown, I wasn't even there when Hannah Brown.
Hannah Brown came back to my house.
When her show is over and she was, we were on a different show already, I guess.
And she had, when she was about to break up and they asked her where she, what they could do for her.
And she's like, just take me to Carrie's house.
and she
knew how to get in
and all of a sudden
I'm getting phone calls later
because it was the middle of the night for us
and
the other Rachel
Oh Rachel
Her too though
Carrie's apartment when you are
actively going through a breakup
in the season is airing is another vibe
and it's a good vibe
It's an amazing vibe but it is another level
I was there
I was trying to get my revenge dress
Jen, so many of us, unfortunately.
But so many happy stories as well.
So many happy stories.
I mean, look at all the children.
I feel like a grandfather of so many now.
I mean, and now the babies are having babies.
I know.
I know.
I mean, how spectacular of a life.
I mean, to think that I started when these kids, I mean, she was five years old and now
she's pregnant.
Ricky?
I think she had her baby and she did.
Yeah.
Oh, my God.
That's actually crazy because, yeah, you were.
Wow.
And she was one of those that I used to talk to every week, you know, and then over the years, you know, we are constantly on the road.
I mean, my own friends say to me, do you, how do you think you're going to keep your friends?
I mean, you know, one time you're going to come home and none of us are going to answer the phone.
I'm screaming.
No.
I know.
It's work.
It's work.
Tell me it's work.
Yeah.
And I come home and I just.
want to be in my cave for a little while.
Absolutely. I don't lay me. Because we're with each other.
Gina and I are together 24 hours a day.
Yeah. I mean...
Your legal wife.
My real wife, yes.
As opposed to all of you that I've just become my wife's during the season.
But I don't know what I would do without all of you.
And especially the two of you, you guys have, you know how you both meant.
You know what you meant to me. You know how close we got.
I mean, and how much I love for you.
And you, listen, when I see her, it just, I can't.
I can't come to New York without her.
No, literally.
I'm like, when I see Dotten, I go even crazier.
No, he does.
I'm like, I just let them have their time.
I love it.
Take your time with him.
Well, obviously, in the midst of wedding planning, but obviously because Keri holds a tremendous special place in my heart,
I think I need to have a moment where he, me and him have a little final look.
Yeah.
I know that I need to be at least the person that button is the last button.
Truly.
Oh, yeah, let the pictures.
We'll do everything else.
And I'll be crying.
Somewhere.
No, yes.
She knows.
But you know when I go to say goodbye to you guys that I cry.
It's always like, oh, my God.
I'm like, I can't.
I keep thinking to myself, I know I'm going to talk to you in a week.
I know that we're going home.
It's literally the same thing.
It's not the same.
I mean, it honestly doesn't.
feel the same. I've been doing it long enough to know that once we're home and we're not together
every single day that I go into like a depression. It's like after you throw a wedding and you have,
you know, you've had this whole buildup and all of a sudden the wedding is over. You've had a blast.
And then the next day you wake up and you're depressed.
That's why we're just going to keep partying. I'm going to have like seven weddings. Exactly. Just keep having
a party. First one this year. Next one's next. Next one's next. Every year. Yeah, no literally.
It is amazing
But each one of you does
Hold such a special place in my heart
We love you
I can't let go of any of you
Never
You cannot
Maybe one or two
I was gonna say who do you hate the most
Tell us when we were at
No
You know what it's funny
Each person has their own
Two people that I had a rougher time with
Two out of 24 years
It is not so horrible
Two people
Two people
Um, two.
And you know what?
I know what?
We've become really close since we, during one of those specials, um, came up, she came up to me
and said something.
And it was like, like nothing hit as if we had always had the most wonderful love for each other.
And I think it just made it more special because we realized how stupid are we being.
Hello.
It was just, you were having a rough season.
And that's all right.
And I, me too.
Guess why?
I can't always have the best seasons either.
No.
So I love you guys so much.
Thank you so much for being here.
We have no idea how much.
The happiest episode, truly.
It really is.
And I hope that everyone listening can feel the love coming through this interview
because this has just been so special.
It's our dream interview.
And we're so happy you agreed.
And we love you so much.
Only for you guys.
Would I come on and sit in the studio?
I've always said no.
and now I'm so thrilled about doing it.
You guys hear that, right?
Okay, he's always said no until it was Charity and Rachel.
Next.
I just said in third place.
Time we do this in your apartment.
Yes.
In bed.
In our dream.
We'll have the camera just straight on.
That's all we need.
