Tune in now to hear this and so much more!
Hey, everyone, welcome back to Bechler Happy Hour.
I'm Joe and I'm Serena, and we are here to do some fan questions for you guys. Let's do it all right, diving right in.
I love fan question today.
Do you too exchange did you to exchange gifts at your wedding?
I got Serena and gifts. She did not get me anything.
That's okay, Well we said we weren't.
We didn't do Yeah, we weren't doing them. I just got a little something that was sentimental.
Do you want to tell the people what it was? If you said, don't know?
Yep. So I gave gave Serena the note that she gave me at the hotel before we left Bachelor in Paradise where she wrote down her name and number, and I had it framed.
Yes, sitting in our living room, and I loved it very.
Much because that was a crazy feeling knowing that I am engaged to marry this woman yet I don't have her cell phone number. And that was the first time I realized that when she wrote it down on a piece of paper and gave it to me.
You know what's so crazy is like I feel like when you texted me because we got our phones back and we were both like we were both flying out of the airport separately. Yeah, but I was like kind of nervous to text you because I was just like, how frequently is he going to text me back? Like is he a fast text or he's slow text or like what's his texting style? Is it going to be dry? Like I had that like feeling that you get in the beginning when you start texting someone of like trying to just going to go they're texting vibe and like saying with like, now we don't really text you like always call me.
Yeah, we typically call I. You know. The crazy thing is as I was, I was on the plane with Kenny on the way home. Literally we had two seats next to each other, just flying home from Paradise, both engaged sitting there like whoa we were just we were just in Mexico for almost thirty days.
That's crazy. I remember I flew to New York and I showed up. I was supposed to go stay with Brie and Brie was in Spain with someone at a wedding, and I texted Abigail was like, Hey, I'm coming to New York. Can I come stay with you? And she was like, yeah, let's do it. And I rolled up to her place at like eleven thirty pm. I couldn't get a hold of her. Finally got a hold of her. She'd been out and we had to lug my two Paradise suitcases, like fifty five pounds each up five flights of stairs. And I just remember being like, what am I doing right now?
I remember that? Do you remember that?
All? Right? Next question, what is your favorite holiday song?
My favorite holiday song? Actually looking, I'm gonna go on Spotify right now, let's see, Okay.
I like All I Want for Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey.
I like hmm, I like the Christmas song neck King Cole What yeah, the Christmas song chest Nuts.
Oh yeah, that's a good one. I like Last Pressons by Wham Too. I like Oh, I like Underneath the Tree by Kelly Clarkson.
It's the most wonderful time of the year. What's the what's the song they sing in alf where they both sing the.
Duet oh Oh, It's not gonna come to me right now?
Oh, which is also kind of if you listen to the lyrics, it's kind of a.
Little creepy creepy okay, damn, I lost my place. What is one thing people always assume about you because you were on The Bachelor slash Bachelor at I actually have one for you?
Okay.
I feel like people when they meet you, they see your like vulnerable, like big personality on TV. And you do have such like a outgoing, like charismatic personality that I feel like people fall in love with, and that is who you are. But you are quite shy and introverted, and I feel like when people meet you, I like see it catch them off guard sometimes because they're expecting you to be like more larger than life.
Interesting.
Do you agree with that or no?
Yeah, I would say that's probably that's probably that probably holds true. Yeah, I think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I think that's fair. I think people also thought I was people also, I think I'm like five to six five second. Yeah, that was at first. I don't know about anymore.
When people usually I guess the one thing I usually get is like, you're so much smaller than I thought you were going to be, Like you're so much more petite. Yeah, I think I do look taller on TV.
I think everyone, well, I think most people do, but for some reason people thought I was.
I think the girls look taller than they are and the guys look shorter. Like whenever I meet guys from the show even now, I'm like, oh my god, you're so tall, which I should know because they're all like six feet plu us. But okay, the zombie apocalypse is coming. Who are three people from Bachelor Nation you want on your team?
I feel like we've answered this before.
Really, I have never thought about this in my life. Can I can I say you?
Yeah? I mean, I hope, I'm gonna say you.
You can be on my team. I'm gonna say Noah only because like he really built the heck out of that kitchen, and I just feel like he like would know how to build a fire, and he's a nurse so he could help with like dehydration.
And I hate to say it, but I'm gonna have to say Noah to Noah.
Yeah, I know, Noah, he's just like a true handyman and also a nurse.
Yeah.
And then one two, well, then if we're taking Noa, let's take Abigail too, And then the four of us can just hang out. And Abigail makes me laugh.
That's fine, that's fair.
Okay, that's our team, all right? Am I crazier? Do you guys spend a lot of time in Florida? Would you ever move there?
We don't spend that much time in Florida.
We go We went for a few days in February, and then we just went for a few days in November.
Yeah, but it's like a total of like six days. My friend has a house out there, so we go there, you know. So we went there twice, but now he is airbnbing that house out so we probably won't call there.
So any ways us check it out. Yeah, it's really nice as a pickleball court and a basketball court, it is really nice. But we like going as their guests. I don't think that we.
We should go to South Florida. You and I actually was thinking about that, to No Florida, like Miami.
Oh yeah, I've only been to Miami I think.
Once, and even like Naples. We should go.
Yeah, I've been to Naples.
Because the water just gets so cold.
We're not trying to move to Florida, but we do like the snowbird life of escaping the cold when we can. It just sucks. It's so cold.
Yeah.
Who are your favorite people to be interviewed by?
Favorite people to be interviewed by? That's a good question.
Oh no, idea.
I can't tell you the last time I was interviewed, so I would say, Oh, I would say uh Ria and Franch.
Oh yeah. They are great at what they do, and they make it very fun and conversational, so it doesn't really feel like you're being like interrogated. It just feels very natural. Yeah, all right, I'm gonna go with them too. Oh. Also, whenever I go on Dean Calen and Jared's podcast, I have fun too. I always end up like.
Just talking like I've ever been on their podcast You have.
We run It Together? I swear on it with Jared and Kaylee.
Oh yeah yeah yeah.
Because you and Jared were talking about like yeah.
Yeah, that's when we did the crossover though, the Happy Hour crossover, I think, No, we.
Did that with Benn and Ashley.
Okay.
Also great interviewers. If you could be guests on any late night talk show, which would it be and why? Probably Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy fallon which ones? Which I always get them confused? Which is the one that.
Talks about him, Jimmy Kimmel.
Yeah, I like Jimmy Kimmel. He was the one. He's in the movie we just watched. No That's Fallin, Okay, Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm thinking about Jimmy.
I would do it. I would Jimmy Fallon. I love Jimmy Fallen. Yeah, he's He's one of my favorites.
I love him too. How do you feel about New Year's resolutions?
I feel like New Year's resolutions are a positive thing. If if it's something that's going to affect your life in a positive way, then yes, make it. I I typically don't do them. I feel like I make resolutions during the year all the time and just really try to stick to them. So I think, if if it's positive, yeah, then go for it.
I have mixed feelings with New Year's resolutions, and this is what I've decided to start doing. Is I'm not making any specific New Year's resolutions or goals, like I'm not going to be like I want to go to the gym twice a week for the whole year, or like I want to eat healthy or less screen time like I just never follow through, or I want to read fifteen books, which like lucky if I get through like five usually, But I feel like making a general like I don't know, like setting an intention for the year or setting intentions for the year.
Is good, Like, well, I think it's.
You know, like if we live in New York, let's say we just moved, I'd be like, my intention could be like I want to really like explore this, spend time exploring the city, you know what I mean? Like something positive that's not like you do this bad and you need to be better about this, because I feel like habits are hard to change, and like a goal for an entire year is very daunting.
But I do think it's a good I do think it's a good thing. If you like you're someone that doesn't make your bad and you're like, you know what, I'm gonna make my bed every morning.
Yeah, but if you told me to do that for a whole year, I would be like, this is so intimidating. I've never made my bed ever, and now I'm supposed to do it for three hundred and sixty five days. But if you'd be like, you need to make your bed three times this week and then.
But if it becomes routine, then it just be it becomes routine.
Well, my sister told me that it takes twenty eight days to make something a habit, So if you do something for twenty eight days, that's all you have to do to like create that habit. So you don't actually have to set your goal for a year, set your goal for two months, two months, or twenty eight days, and do something every day for that long and if you hate it at the end of that, you don't have to keep doing it, then just stop. But that's my feeling about news resolution. Yeah, what is the most used app on your phone? Text email, Instagram, tech Talk.
Mine is text email, text email X or Twitter, and then Instagram.
FaceTime is probably up there too. That counts as an app on your phone.
Yeah, I would say camera, Oh yeah, camera, camera, It's hard.
I actually don't know just one. I'm assuming if you're just we're just talking straight social media apps, Instagram, what Harry Potter House are each of you?
I am a Gryffindor.
I've done the test on my multiple times and I'm always Gryffindor.
No, I'm actually not. I'm raven Claw.
You got raven Claw when you did the test, which is ironic because you like hated school, but you like learning.
I do. I like to learn.
What TV shows are you binging right now?
We're kind of in like a weird Drops of God Drops out God.
We just.
Really like it, Joe.
I like it. It's a unique concept.
But we don't have to be bing shows when we have our our Christmas movie.
Yeah, it's not really show binging season for us, but we grapis Baking showing. The finale is Friday, Friday. Yeah, nice, So excited for that. Love that show. And then we were kind of trying to get into the morning show, but you're having a tough time getting into it. I like it. I like it.
I don't I don't have any issue with it, but you don't.
Really like binging it because it's like intense.
No, it's not that like Drops of God is intense.
But Gavin Drops of God like doesn't feel like real, you know what I mean?
I think it feels. I just I'm just more I just I'm more intrigued by the story and I just I just find I just find it more interesting.
Yeah that's okay. Yeah, what question do you get asked most by Bachelor Nation fans? I know, what is it? Real.
Yes, is it real? Is it real?
Always ask that is the show actually real? Which is like I'm not mocking them, Like that's a valid question, Like that would probably be my question as well.
I think I think before I went on the show, I was like this, this this show is fake. I for sure thought that.
I feel like the way I describe it is like it's not scripted, it's not fake. It's just like structured, you know what.
It has to be structured because you know, you have to fit into a certain timeframe of what you're filming.
Yeah, and if.
It wasn't structure, then it would just be NonStop all day every day, like chaos. Isn't that what? What's that show? Love Island? Don't they put on an episode every day or something? Crazy?
They put out like five episodes a week, I think, wow. And then Big Brothers kind of yeah.
Big Brothers like like.
Like a episodes a week. Yeah. They have live cameras, so like filming twenty four seven, so you can like watch live streams, which is wild, but that's still structured. They still have someone being like today is an eviction and today is a challenge. All right, who is the last person from Bachelor nation, you texted with let me see.
My last person from.
Racial Rekia I texted her today and Anna Redman to.
Actually texted Nick fail today, gorgeous you stickit?
Sorry? I know? Uh m, Joe, how on earth have you never seen tracks? Srina? What other movies does Joe need to be educated about? Okay, wait, Joe needs to be educated about she' by the dozen and she read the dozen two and that is next on our list. There was something else too, and I can't remember what it is, but yeah, Shrek.
I don't know how I never saw Shrek, but I just I just I don't know. It's just I don't never seen it. I really enjoyed the first one, and the second one I didn't think was as good.
I like the second one better. I feel this one is so creative.
I found music is so good. I found Eddie Murphy to be so funny in the first one.
Yeah, you did really enjoy Donkey?
Yeah really good.
Are there any past bachelor or bachelorette leeds that you haven't met but would like to? I'm trying to think past I just can't think of who, Like, we haven't met? What are you doing?
Nothing? Texting Nick bag no, no, no, no, go ahead.
Anyone you want to meet past Bachelor, Bachelor at Leeds.
I feel like I've met everyone.
I know, if not in person, like virtually.
Past Bachelor at Leeds. You know what the problem? Honestly, I I started watching the show right around my time, so I wouldn't I just wouldn't even know past seasons.
No, yeah, all right, well maybe something will come to us. Who is on your Mount Rushmore of Bachelor Nation?
Who's on my Mount Rushmore? En Bachlation probably just met you.
That's a hard question. There's just like so many iconic people. I don't want to narrow it down. Is there anyone that hasn't gone to Paradise that you think should?
Was there anyone from this season that I thought was going to be there? I don't know.
I'm trying to think of, like who's single right now? Yeah, if Katie Thurston is still single next season?
I mean I think I think, oh, oh, I think Peter Webber should have I thought he would have been great. Peter would have been great this year too. Peter, he would have been the party, he would have been the glue to really really potentially I would love.
To see him good in paradise and like come out with a fiance. Yeah, that'd be awesome. Yep is there? Oh? Would you to ever collab on a product?
Would we ever collab it on a product? Yeah?
I feel like we would. It would just have to be something that's like organic to us.
You know, we both have curly hair, so I yet to understand why. I know hair companies reached out to both of us for like the curly hair a couple shampoos.
I know that would be great. I know I would love that. I would love to do a hair collab with you. In terms of our own you have your Pasta Sauce and I have Reset the Label, which is my travel accessory brands. Like, we're in very different spaces when it comes to our our own brands.
Yeah.
Sure, but maybe one day we'll have something together. I would be into it. I always laugh when you ask your guests this question, what would the title of your autobiography be? See? I hate asking your guests this question because I would never want to be asked because I don't know what the answer would be. Uh.
Mine would probably just be.
His way, his way, Yours would be Joe. It would just be your name in big capital read letters I feel like and then your face on the front.
Joe, Joe, Joe, just Joe. I like that. I do like Joe. But no, it would be his way, That's what I want.
His way, like My Way by Frank Sinatrava. His Way was.
Actually I believe there's a documentary about Jerry Wintrop, who is a producer in Hollywood. Uh, And there was an HBO documentary called His Way, and I think I'm stealing it from that.
What would mine be if you had to name it her way? I like it? Okay, Do you guys still have the roses you exchanged in Paradise? And were there any red roses at your wedding? No? I don't have any of the roses we exchanged. Do you?
I don't have any of the roses we exchanged.
And there were no red roses at our wedding, mostly because the that was not going to match our color scheme whatsoever. And I just when I see red rose, I think Bachelor Nation. You know. Yeah, I wonder if there'll be any red roses at Gary and Treesa's wedding.
I'm sure there will be. I'm sure there'll be golden ones.
Golden roses. That will actually be so pretty, That'll be beautiful. What was your favorite moment from The Golden Bachelor.
My favorite moment from the Golden Bachelor was. My favorite moment from the Golden Bacher was at the women Tell All when Jesse asked Gary if he or when he asked them something goes well, I haven't had a heart attack yet, but getting pretty close. It was the way he said it was was very funny.
That was very funny. That was a good one.
That was my favorite moment.
My favorite moment was I liked it when they did like the never have I ever with the ice cream. I just thought that was like a fun, playful moment.
That was cute.
I also liked the Pickleball date just because it was like such a build up because everyone knew how much he loved pickleball. Who was the drunkest person at your wedding?
Who is the drunkest person at my wedding? At our wedding? Yep, I think one of my cousins right the dance sor yeah.
One of your cousins was super drunk on the dance floor. But he was a good time.
He was He was a fun drunk, but he was fun drunk.
Many many people were drunk. Like it wasn't like he was the only one that was drunk and like making a scene or anything. Many people were on the dance wore drunk. I just think he was. He was absolutely tearing up the dance floor, probably the drunkest one, but a very good time. Who do you go to for relationship advice? Hmmm?
Who do I go to for relationship advice? I don't and I really ask.
I really asked relationship advice either. I feel like we kind of like keep it all with each other of like if we need to figure anything out. I guess if I needed to ask someone for relationship advice, it would probably be my sister. Yeah, and you would probably ask your brother. Yeah.
I don't know. I don't really think I've ever like reached out about relationships ever.
You've never asked?
Yeah, probably Eddie. I've probably called Eddie about relationship advice.
Yeah, which is Joe's best friend for those who are listening, Yeah, or like one of my one of my best girlfriends, or my sister.
Yeah. I've probably called my brothers too.
I guess we're just doing pretty good if we're not asking you, or we're not doing well and we should ask for more relationship advice. Do you follow any Bachelor fan accounts? I do not, do you?
I don't believe so.
Joe, what can you tell us about go anything fun you can share about your co stars?
I can't share anything yet about the Goat except you're gonna have to check it out when it comes out.
You can't say anything about the cast is released. Yeah, originally tease or anything I can't host is released.
I can't. I can't tease anything, but I have to say it's it's gonna be a great watch in my opinion.
Well, we went to Jill's Errand's charity event this summer in the Hampton's.
Yep, she was on the show.
And some of your cast members were there. Who I got to meet. That was a lot of fun.
Yeah, you can't say anything.
Who's the host again? Daniel Tosh Daniel ToJ I just heard an ad for his podcast. I think, yeah, I think the radio.
Yeah, I think he's got one.
All right, Well that's a letdown, but I'm excited to watch it. I feel like it's been such a build up because you filmed it a while ago. And then they released it and I was like, oh my gosh. And now I'm just waiting to see it all come to life. We'll see, all right, it's the last question. Do either of you have tattoos? If not, would you ever get one? And what would you get?
I do not have a tattoo. I don't think I would ever get a tattoo, just because I've gone this far in my life without getting one, and I just I don't know, there's nothing I really want to write on my body. I like tattoos. I think they look good. I just yeah, I just I don't know. I don't I don't feel like it fits my personality.
I feel the same. I don't have tattoos either. I love them on other people. Most of my friends have tattoos. Yeah, at least like one small one. I don't know if it's maybe like my parents don't have any tattoos. My sisters always wanted to get a sibling tattoo, and I've been the one that's just like, I just don't feel any desire to get one. Yeah.
I think it's something that you have to just really be in the.
Idea of like inking something onto my body, just like stresses me out.
And I feel if I did get one, I want like I just don't want one. I want like an arm sleep.
Right, yaya, And then it's like and then that's a full commitment. I feel like it's the same as what people say about like people that get like botox or fillers say like, once you get a little, like you want to keep going. I feel like it's the same with tattoos, like once you get one, you want to like get a bunch.
Yeah yeah, so yeah, I don't have any. I don't think I ever will get one, but I'm not against them.
Same same, same.
All right.
