Hey, everyone. Welcome back to Bachelor happy Hour. I'm Joe.
Serena
And I'm Serena.
Joe
And this is the week of thanks Thanksgiving. So we are going to do a little special episode, just Serena and I answering some questions and talking for 30 minutes. You guys ready?
Serena
Buckle up, everyone. It's just me and Joe today.
Joe
That's right. Well, we got, you know, we got a lot to talk about. We've. We've done a lot over the past couple months. I feel like we've been traveling every goddamn minute.
Serena
Yeah. We spent a lot of time at the airports, and as much as I'm grateful, I am tired.
Joe
Yeah. I don't know why I had to swear so much there. It was very.
Serena
So aggressive.
Joe
I just came in hot. Jesus. Okay, so do you want to ask the first one or how do you want to do this?
Serena
Yeah, we got a couple fan questions here. We have a list in front of us, so I think we'll just fly through them and see how many we get through.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Ready?
Joe
Yeah. I mean, you didn't really answer my question.
Serena
What was your question?
Joe
Do you want. I didn't ask. How are we doing this? I said, you want to go first.
Serena
My sister says I need to be better at active listening. I think I'm a pretty good active listener, but sometimes my thoughts overpower the Question. Which I guess is the definition of being a bad active listener, actually.
Joe
Yeah, you do actually have to be a better active listener. I've actually been noticing that too.
Serena
Really?
Joe
Yeah. I mean, I just. I mean, you're just totally blown past what I asked, you know.
Serena
I know. I'm sorry.
Joe
You know, you gotta. You know, you're. You're smaller. So you see, so you're. You're chattier.
Serena
Oh, is that how it works? I'm so little, I just can't stop talking.
Joe
Point across.
Serena
Please re. Ask your question, and I swear I'll listen this time.
Joe
Do you want to go first?
Serena
Yes.
Joe
Okay, here we go.
Serena
Okay. So the first question that we have was, how was your trip to Scotland? As well as our trip to Seoul and Osaka and Tokyo? Let's start with Scotland.
Joe
Yeah, Scotland's great. I love Scotland. I mean, St. Andrews. It's like if you. If you. If you love golf. St. Andrews is like the Mecca of. It's like the capital, the. The start of golf, it feels like. So that place was great. And I will say we were able to spend, like, 24 hours in Edinburgh, which I would love to go back because I really liked Edinburgh. It was. It's like a little. It seemed to me like a pocket of London.
Serena
I agree.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Yeah. St. Andrews was actually Scotland in general, I guess. Wasn't really somewhere that was majorly on my bucket list. Not for any specific reason. Just. It just wasn't that high up there on my desirable destinations. But St. Andrews. We weren't together a ton in St. Andrews because you were working a lot. But it was so quaint. It was so beautiful. The people were so friendly. And I did get to walk nine holes with you on that one golf course, and I was having a blast.
Joe
Yeah. I will say, though, the. The. What is it? Haggis. The sausage.
Serena
Yeah, I checked. So if you don't know, I'm a fan. Maybe you don't want to know, but we're gonna tell you. It's like stomach intestines or like stomach lining, isn't it?
Joe
Something like. Something. Something along those lines.
Serena
Yeah. Of like a cow. So I chickened out. I didn't try it, but one of the guys that we were there with who is from Scotland, was like, there's different forms of trying haggis, and the best one is when they're, like, fried into little deep fried balls. What'd you try, like a scramble? It was in your burrito.
Joe
Yeah, it was just like, in my burrito.
Serena
What kind of flavor was it?
Joe
You know?
Serena
Or was it the texture?
Joe
It wasn't the texture. It's more. It was just. I don't love lamb and it had it like, it had that.
Serena
Oh like a gamey flavor.
Joe
At least that's kind of what I.
Serena
Maybe I would have liked it then. And then. Yeah. We were only in Edinburgh for like just under 24 hours. We had crazy weather in Edinburgh. Like it was windy, it was downpouring rain. We were trying to be so brave walking around the city and seeing it. And then after a while we just had to call it quits cuz it was. It was wild trying to be so brave. I will say though, we're trying to be so brave. We're like, it's okay. You know, we got our jackets on, we got our umbrellas like it. So what? Like we'll get a little wet, but no, we got a lot wet.
Joe
The shoem was really good though.
Serena
I love the show is so good. I love the shoom so much.
Joe
Okay. And then like we don't have to break down every aspect of the age of trip but like out of. I would say out of Seoul, Osaka in Tokyo. What was your favorite?
Serena
Probably Tokyo.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
If I was going to go back to one of them right now, I would choose Tokyo just because I feel like there's so much to see. Like we were there for five days but I could go do, I could go do another five days and have a totally new experience. Osaka, we were there for two and I feel like we saw it. Not that I wouldn't go back, I would still recommend it. And Seoul soul I loved but it was a little bit hard with the cuisine and my nut allergy and the language barrier.
Joe
I will say though, the four seasons in Seoul was probably my favorite hotel.
Serena
Me too.
Joe
I love that place.
Serena
It was incredible.
Joe
That is the highlight of my trip.
Serena
The four seasons in Seoul.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Your favorite part about travel really is staying at nice hotels.
Joe
Nice hotels. What am I going to do?
Serena
I don't blame you. Do me.
Joe
Sue me.
Serena
I like nice hotels. Sue me.
Joe
Serena, what advice do you have to anyone traveling with dietary restrictions? Expected that question.
Serena
Okay, well, as you guys know, I just mentioned I have a severe nut allergy. My go to is to I usually use like a translator app or chatgpt works great and I translate like something very simple of just like I have a severe nut allergy. Please do not serve me nuts of any kind. And then sometimes I'll put like nut oils, nut products etc and I'll screenshot it and I'll make it my lock screen on my phone so that if there is a language barrier to where I feel like they're not understanding me, I can just show that. And a lot of the times that helps. Like in Spain, that came clutch. Italy was actually, like, really good with dietary restrictions.
Joe
Yeah. Better than I thought.
Serena
Italy was incredible with dietary restrictions. Oh, my God. I was so impressed. So, yeah, that's my go to. I did printed cards for this trip because we were going to Korea and also Japan, and I found that was easier because the language barrier was so strong. A lot of the time they would take the card from me and, like, take it to the back and into the kitchen and then come back out and tell me. And it was just something where it was like, cure. Take the card. You can keep it. Like, throw it away, whatever. I got, like, 100 printed on Canva, and that's my number one thing. I guess on top of that, like, you know, I have a lot of anxiety in my allergy, but just doing everything I can to be conscious, like, conscientious of it, bringing my EpiPens, trusting the people that are telling me there's no nuts. And if I don't trust where we are, we don't feel safe. Joe and I will leave a restaurant, just, like, respectfully say, hey, sorry, like, we're not going to eat here. Because there's really no point in taking a risk. Like, it'll really ruin the whole trip and potentially our whole lives.
Joe
Yeah. Wow. Okay.
Serena
Joe, how was your experience running the marathon this year? And how do you prepare?
Joe
I. I love marathon day, and I really enjoy training. I didn't. Yes.
Serena
What part of training do you like?
Joe
I just enjoy training for something. I just. I just love that, like, schedule and. And running's like therapy for me.
Serena
Yeah.
Joe
Like, my golf lessons. And so I enjoy that aspect for sure. And I really like the day of the marathon because it's like, this is what you've been working for. It's exciting. It's a great day. I didn't score as well as I wanted to. I think I. I broke down around, like, mile 18, and I got really, like. Because I wore the ankle compression sleeves, and it was the first time I wore them, and they cut off halfway through my foot that I had just massive blisters that exploded on the bottom of my feet.
Serena
They were actually the biggest blisters I've ever seen.
Joe
I was just. I was like. The blood in my socks was like. I was like, this is terrible. And then, like, for, like, for like they got infected and then I was basically like five days. I could barely walk.
Serena
Yeah, he was on a full antibiotic and had a prescription cream because these blisters were so out of control.
Joe
Yeah, I think, I think if I run it, if I run another marathon, I will definitely just take more care of my feet as far as like Vaseline before I run.
Serena
Yeah. Not using new products.
Joe
Yeah. And I, and I, I switched shoes a lot during, during training and that kind of messed me up a little bit. So it's just like. Yeah. Like making sure that my shoes fit right and, and kind of like, just like those little things and keeping it simple. And then I think I'm good.
Serena
You know, in your defense though, I feel like you broke down around mile 18 because your Garmin watch died. So you weren't able to track your pace at all?
Joe
No. I mean, no, no, no. I mean, not being able to track my pace was not great.
Serena
But did you not charge your watch?
Joe
I did, but it got disconnected. So there was connectivity issues and that just totally fucked me up. But that was not why it was because I just, I, I need to run more 20 mile runs prior to the marathon.
Serena
Gotcha.
Joe
Which is a lot of running and I just don't know if I want to do those miles anymore.
Serena
Yeah. Will you do the marathon again, do you think?
Joe
I always say no and then I always do it, so.
Serena
That's true.
Joe

Serena
Are you one of those people that starts your holiday shopping in like July?
Joe
July? I mean, no, never. Like I, I, I like to shop. Actually I like to shop on Christmas Eve because I find it to be a little more festive.
Serena
But you like start decorating right after Halloween?
Joe
No, after Thanksgiving. Okay, that's different. That's different. Halloween? No, not Halloween.
Serena
You know, I consider myself to be a pretty good gift giver. I've got my list and I've checked.
Joe
It twice, probably three times. She takes the holidays very seriously.
Serena
I can't help it. You know. I love finding the perfect gifts for everyone. And Walmart has all the top brands. Nespresso, Sonos, Nintendo.
Joe
Nintendo at Walmart. Who knew?
Serena
I know. And more. All of your shopping in one place.
Joe
How much more shopping? Oh boy.
Serena
Just saying. Get all the brands everyone loves at Walmart. Head to Walmart.com or download the Walmart app to get all your gifts this season.
Joe
How did you guys spend your second anniversary?
Serena
Where were we?
Joe
I think we were at your parents house eating chicken.
Serena
Oh yeah, we were at my parents house. Chicken.
Joe
Yeah, because remember I, I gave you your gift and you had like you were like, not finished with your chicken.
Serena
Was it on our actual anniversary you gave me my gift?
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Yeah.
Joe
Oh, no, it was day before. Classic move.
Serena
We sell. So our big trip that we took to Asia was kind of like the way we chose to celebrate our anniversary. We usually take a trip in like September, October, and that's kind of like our quote unquote anniversary celebration. The day of for us is like not as big of a deal, like we don't do anything crazy. But we were at my parents house, so we did celebrate with them and we just had a chill night at home. Joe got me a beautiful necklace as a gift this year for our anniversary. So that was really nice. And yeah, that's kind of it. I don't even really remember the exact day what we did, if I'm being totally honest. We were in Toronto, hanging out.
Joe
Romantic.
Serena
So romantic. Is it my turn? Yeah. Okay, sorry. Next question is, would you ever do a vow renewal? No, probably not.
Joe
I mean, just by the way we celebrate our anniversaries, I think.
Serena
I think that anniversaries and like holidays and stuff aren't huge for us. I feel like we do a good job throughout the year of making the most of like, just not even celebrating. But like, we're childless. Like, we go on trips together, we go on lots of date nights and do fun things together. I feel like maybe when you have kids, it's like more motivation to prioritize those moments and make them special for just the two of you. But, you know, I feel like we're doing fun, special things all year round. So do.
Joe
I mean. Yeah, we really do.
Serena
Yeah. Which is. Which is so wonderful. So when it comes down to the anniversary, there's a lot of time we just want to like, be together and hang out and chill, which is kind of fun. But for the vow renewal, I could see us doing like a anniversary party. Like if we like a 10 year anniversary party or something. Just because I loved our wedding and we had so much fun with all of our friends, it'd be fun to like throw a party. But I don't know if I need to eval renewal. You wouldn't do an anniversary party?
Joe
10? No, no, no. I. I don't. I find that like, I don't know. Yeah, like, come celebrate us. We've been together for 10 years, Whoopi. Fucking do. Like so many people have been together for 10 years. I don't know.
Serena
Okay, maybe if we make it to like 50 years.
Joe
I think 30.
Serena
Oh, okay.
Joe
I think 30.
Serena
My parents just celebrated 30 I think 30.
Joe
Yeah, I'll take this.
Serena
Oh, my God. Why?
Joe
Because I just know that you, you are you. You struggle a little bit with the questions.
Serena
I think I'm doing a great job. I'm reading them off my phone if you think I'm not capable of reading a question. I think you are.
Joe
I think you are. But I think when I see you already jumping ahead, preparing for the question, because you prepare.
Serena
Well, I'm just skimming, you know, I just want to see what's up, what's to come. But final, I'll let you shock me if that's what you want.
Joe
I do.
Serena
You'd be stunned by the question. I actually haven't read the next question, if that surprises you.
Joe
Okay.
Serena
Oh. Oh, my God. He's flipping my phone away.
Joe
It feels like you guys have been to so many weddings lately. What advice do you have to anyone showing up to a wedding where they don't know many of the other guests? Which is. Which hasn't really been happening to you as much lately, but me more.
Serena
This year we had four weddings, and one of them was Joe's brother's wedding, which was so much fun. It was incredible. And we obviously knew a ton of people because it was his whole family, his friend group, and also I had gone on our now sister in law's bachelorette party. We know her family, so that was great. And then it was two of my friends weddings who I obviously know most people there. You don't. And then we went to his manager's wedding, who I would say we didn't really know most people there. So I feel like when you both, like when you're in a couple and Joe and I both don't know a lot of people there, it's almost easier.
Joe
Like, without a doubt.
Serena
Yeah. Well, I mean, look, the best weddings are the ones where you know a lot of people. Yeah, but like, for example, at his manager's wedding, it was like we're just hanging out, the two of us, and trying to chat with people at our table and get to know people and grab a drink and it's way better.
Joe
I actually prefer it much more when we both don't know anybody. Opposed to one person doesn't know anyone and the other person knows everyone. Because then that's a little. But like, for the most part, all the weddings we go to, like, we know someone.
Serena
I mean, at your manager's wedding, I. I don't know if we really knew.
Joe
Anyone, but we knew him and his wife.
Serena
Well. Yeah, that's why we're there because we love them. But yeah, I feel like when you don't know anyone there, it's usually a lower pressure wedding because you're probably not super, super involved in the lives of the bride and groom. Otherwise you would like, know their family. Give it a childhood best friend. You're probably in the wedding party. Or if it's like a family member, you know, you are a little. It's a little bit more of a high stakes wedding. So I think it's like you kind of just show up, it's a party, you have fun and you head out. Whereas when one of us knows someone, then it's a little bit more of a balancing act of like, okay, I'm a bridesmaid, we gotta set you up with a plan. But then you'll usually vibe with like one of my friends husbands or something. Yeah, I vibe, but I love weddings.
Joe
I'm over weddings.
Serena
I know. I love them though. And we got more to come, so buckle up.
Joe
Serena.
Serena
Yeah.
Joe
What are your do's and don'ts for wedding guest attire?
Serena
Oh, okay.
Joe
So see, I knew you would like being surprised.
Serena
So it depends on what the attire is. I guess if it's black tie, show up in a tux and girls you need to be in a floor length gown, not a floor length dress. Like it needs to be, I think more formal, but I, I'm less worried about the girlies usually. I think black tie is usually more to make sure the guys are dressed appropriately, if I'm being honest. Well, because black tie, the difference from black tie for guys is like a casual suit versus a tux or a proper black suit. Right.
Joe
Well, I think. Well, I think for black tie, I think guys could get away with wearing a black suit with a black tie.
Serena
Yes. But I think you still like, if you do black tie optional, you're going to get a lot of guys and maybe like a more fun suit, whereas you're still probably going to get girls in floor length dresses.
Joe
I think they should get rid of black tie completely.
Serena
I like black tie.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
I think it looks so nice in the photos.
Joe
Yeah, I get it. I just, I just feel like. I just feel like we're beyond that as a society.
Serena
I just think. You don't like black tie, you don't like dressing up.
Joe
I don't. I actually.
Serena
You just want to wear what you want to wear.
Joe
I actually don't mind wearing a tux, but I do want to wear what I want to wear.
Serena
Yeah. Yeah, exactly. So my biggest advice for dress code for a Wedding is just follow what you're told. That's it. Like, don't wear white. Don't. I don't ever want to see white. Cream even, like champagne gets a little risky sometimes. Butter yellow showing up as white these days and photos, like, just don't do it. There's 1 million other colors that you could wear. Why are you rolling your eyes?
Joe
Because I just, I just find that so I just. I don't know.
Serena
Like, your only job when you show up to a wedding is to not wear white and to follow the dress attire. People make it so much more complicated. Oh, but can I wear white jeans? Can I wear. No, you can't. But if the other colors on the table for you.
Joe
All right. If I have a cream colored sport coat on at a wedding, they're not going to confuse me for the bride. No one's going to confuse me.
Serena
Different for guys.
Joe
And, and if another, if a woman's there in a cream colored dress, they're not going to confuse her for them. Everyone knows who the bride is.
Serena
It's not about confusion. Maybe on the bachelorette it is. I've been on a bachelorette party where one of the girls were white and, and the server thought she was the bride. But at the wedding, it's not about confusion. Everyone's going to know who the bride is because you obviously know these people. And she's wearing a floor length gown with a veil. It's about like, respect, in my opinion. Like, this is that woman's day. I have so many friends that, including myself, honestly, that wouldn't really care someone were white to their wedding. But it's not about, like, it's just about respect. Like, I'm showing up to this person's wedding. It's her moment, it's her day, she's in white. I have the freedom to pick anything I want within the dress code that's not white. And if someone can't do that to me, it's just like, it's kind of just a sign of disrespect. It's like I don't care enough to go pick literally any other color in the rainbow. I'm gonna wear white. Don't you think?
Joe
I. I think that's. I think that's a good point. I think that's a friend that would.
Serena
Be like, oh, I don't really care. And it's like, I get it, you're not gonna be offended. But it's like to me, that is, it's disrespectful.
Joe
That's I think that's fair.
Serena
Thank you. I feel strongly about it.
Joe
What advice do both of you have to anyone out there that's single?
Serena
That's so hard. Because everyone's situation as a single person is so different.
Joe
How much I think that that could be advice.
Serena
Yeah.
Joe
Because I actually agree with that. I hate this fucking blanketed advice that people just give that just should apply to everyone. Everyone's different. So the advice I have is kind of like, figure out you and like, what works for you.
Serena
Yeah. I mean, like, I can obviously give advice on, like, specific situations or to, like, my girlfriends who I know. I know them. Right. I know who they are. I know their strengths and their weaknesses. I know their dating history.
Joe
I could give you advice if you're single going on to Bachelor in Paradise.
Serena
Totally. We got you there. We got you there. But like, to give, I think that's my. The biggest thing I'm always. I love giving, like, dating relationship advice, but I don't really believe in, like, blanketed statements for all single people or like blanketed statements for all married or dating people. Because it's like, I could say something that's gonna apply to some people, but it. There's definitely people out there that like, it's not gonna apply to, or they think it's gonna apply to them and they shouldn't take it. Like, go ask your family member or your best friend or your sibling or someone that like, really knows you and that you trust and respect. Those are going to be the people that give you the best advice.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Because their advice, find someone else.
Joe
Yeah. Give me this. Give me the situation and give me 20 things about yourself and then I can maybe give you advice.
Serena
If someone was like, hey, this is my situation, I could. I could think I could give some pretty good advice, but I just don't think there's one piece of advice for all single people out there that is gonna be applicable.
Joe
Yeah. Okay, listen, if you're even thinking about a vacation, I've got four words for you. Virgin Voyages, Caribbean Cruises. Because these cruises, they are totally next level. Honestly, you should book one right now to top line it. Beautiful destinations, best food, Etsy and luxury that will make you wonder why you ever tolerated buffets and screaming children. You heard that, right? It's kid free. And just thinking about that is relaxing. We're talking about amazing destinations like Grand Cayman, Jamaica and Puerto Rico. Virgin even has its own private beach club in Bimini. I mean, come on. Then there's the food. There are so many different options. All of them are quite literally multi award and with over a thousand bucks of luxury inclusions, the value is ridiculous. Wi Fi soda, 20 plus legit restaurants, group workouts and entertainment. No surprise charges, no nickel and diming. Just good times. They've got DJs, theme parties, live music. Something's always going on. And when you're ready to relax, your cabin is your sanctuary. Ocean views, private terrace, signature red hammock. Go check it out@virginvoyages.com or hit up your travel advisor. You deserve this.

Chapter 10 Ronan's eyes widened as the moon enveloped their secret sanctuary. Go, he warned. I'm losing control. Luna defiantly stepped forward, tracing the scar across his jaw. Then lose it, she whispered. She was ready. She has Nexplanon etinorgestrel implant 68mg radiopaque to prevent pregnancy. A non daily prescription birth control for women that goes in your arm and not in your uterus. Don't use nexplanon if you're pregnant or may be pregnant, have or had blood clots or certain cancers, have liver disease, liver tumor or unexplained vaginal bleeding. Once the implant is placed, you and your doctor should feel for it. If at any time you can't feel the implant, contact your doctor right away and use a non hormonal birth control method such as condoms. Removal of the implant may be difficult or impossible if it isn't where it should be. While uncommon ectopic pregnancy, pregnancy that occurs outside the womb can occur, which can cause serious internal bleeding, infertility and even death. You are likely to experience experience changes to your period. Ovarian cysts may occur and usually disappear. Nexplanon may raise the chance of serious blood clots, which can cause heart attack, stroke or death, especially if you smoke or have other risk factors. Nexplanon doesn't protect against HIV or STDs. With less than one pregnancy per 100 women who use Nexplanon for one year, Nexplanon is over 99% effective. No matter the fantasy. Talk to your doctor. Call 1-877-467-5266 or visit nexplanon.com for more information. Ask your doctor about Nexplanon okay, so.
Serena
Question Are you one of those people that starts your holiday shopping in like, July?
Joe
July? I mean, no, never. Like, I like to shop. Actually, I like to shop on Christmas Eve because I find it to be a little more festive.
Serena
But you like start decorating right after Halloween?
Joe
No, after Thanksgiving. Okay that's different. That's different. Halloween? No, not Halloween.
Serena
You know, I consider myself to be a pretty good gift giver. I've got my list and I've checked.
Joe
It twice, probably three times. She takes the holidays very seriously.

Joe
Who is your favorite couple that came out of season 10 of Paradise?
Serena
I mean, I. The only one we've met together in person actually is Jeremy and Bailey. Andrew and Alex in person together.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
I love Andrew and Alex. I think they're. I think they're like a really good fit. I thought all the couples were really good, but I think.
Joe
Are they all still together?
Serena
Yeah, they're all still together. I think. Dale and Katie, Andrew and Alex, and then Bailey and Jeremy. Am I missing someone?
Joe
Spencer and Jess.
Serena
Spencer and Jess. Yes. Yes.
Joe
Yeah. Yeah. I don't. I mean, if. If I'm going to have a favorite, I'm going to just. I'm going to probably say Andrew because he was. He's my friend and I knew him before he went on the show and he was at our wedding. So.
Serena
Yeah, we'll have to go. Andrew. He was at our wedding.
Joe
Okay. Do you have any bachelor hot takes? Probably too many. I would say a bachelor hot take would be.
Serena
I don't really care that much if they stay together after the show.
Joe
Interesting.
Serena
I care way more about what happens on camera during the season and that it's like dynamic and compelling and emotional and uplifting and all the things like, I care about a season that like impacts me more than if they stay together after. I obviously want them to. I hope they do. Like, that's what makes it fun is when there's these long lasting couples. But if I had to pick between a boring season and a long lasting couple or an incredible season and potentially no couple at the end, I would pick an incredible season. I could forego the relationship.
Joe
Yeah. Okay. Mine would be, I think if you receive the first impression, Rose, you need to get the first date, period.
Serena
Yeah, I don't hate that either.
Joe
Yeah. I don't know if that's a hot take though.
Serena
I think, I mean, it could be.
Joe
It's hot enough.
Serena
It's hot enough.
Joe
Do you want to ask a question?
Advertiser
Sure.
Joe
I could see you just like you. I'm asking a question.
Serena
Well, I want to look at the questions. I like to. I'm a visual learner. So, like reading and looking. It's great.
Joe
Yeah. But when we're both doing it on our. Both looking at our phones doing it, it's just. It's too distracting.
Serena
Okay. What is your next travel destination?
Joe
Chicago for Thanksgiving. But like, okay, so let's take out. Let's take out the things that we talk about all the time that we always have to do. And we go to Chicago and Toronto. We Got to go to la.
Serena
I'm sorry, what? I asked what's your next travel destination? You said, Chicago. And then you listed the other two places we're going and you said, but I'm. That's. I'm not gonna pick a different place. That's not the question. The question wasn't where are you going that you want to talk about. It's where are you going next?
Joe
I guess I'm not an active listener either. That's a problem. I guess that's. I guess that's a problem in our relationship we have to work on. Neither of us answer each other's questions. Well, what I was gonna say was we have credit. We have a two thousand dollar or twenty something, hundred dollar credit to Hawaiian Airlines. So our next trip is gonna be something we book through that.
Serena
That's so funny because I literally was just talking about that this morning.
Joe
Yeah, well, because I just keep having to remind myself not to forget.
Serena
Yeah. My biggest fear with airline credits is always that I'm going to forget that I have them because they don't make it easy. Don't. They don't let you like in put it into your app or the website so that it's like visible and it just gets deducted. You have to call and book the flight with your number. They definitely do it on purpose, hoping that people forget 1000. It's ridiculous.
Joe
It's actually ridiculous.
Serena
It is ridiculous.
Joe
It's ridiculous.
Serena
Like they need to make a hot take.
Joe
Actually, that's not a hot take. That's a. That's a consensus among all of us.
Serena
Everyone, every person for sure agrees with this statement.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Except the airlines. Because why are you making it so hard for me to redeem my airline credit?
Joe
Yeah. That I paid for.
Serena
Spent this money with you. Like I had an American airline credit that I forgot about. I don't. I think it expired. I don't know. I just actually have to call and check. But it makes me be like, ugh, I don't even want to fly American Airlines now because, you know you've gotten ice taken. I feel like they stole my money, even though it was completely my fault.
Joe
So neither of us really answered the question.
Serena
Chicago for Thanksgiving. We're going for four days. Our plan is to see Joe's family for Thanksgiving. We're gonna go out with some of his friends Wednesday night. And I think we're gonna go see Wicked too, because last year on Thanksgiving, we saw Wicked one and it was so much fun. And I'm so excited for Wicked too.
Joe
As the most successful story ever from the Bachelor franchise. What. What do you think it takes?
Serena
That is so generous.
Joe
Well, I just made that up.
Serena
Oh.
Joe
What do you think it takes to make a relation work? Host show?
Serena
I feel like the number. We say this a lot. We say this to, like, every couple that comes on after the show, but I think it's prioritizing your relationship, your time together for the. At least, like, the first six months right after the show, I think is, like, one of the most pivotal periods of time.
Joe
I agree. And I also think there is. I think people always just want to be, like, helpless romantics, but I. I do think there's an element of luck that you just fit together and, like. And, like. And, like, it works. Like, there's a little bit of luck involved in that. That, like. And I. And I think, like, we got lucky and, like, we also prioritized the relationship, and we were also. It was still like that. It was still that, like, post Covid, like, where we, like, kind of had to stay in the house, which made. Which actually helped because we weren't supposed to be out together. So, like, there was a lot of things that just, like, kind of worked in our favor. But, yeah, like, what you said would be the advice I would give.
Serena
Yeah. And I think being as transparent and honest as possible when you're on the show about, like, what your expectations are for when the show's done.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Because I think if you don't align on those before leaving, it can result in, like, a lot of immediate bumps, and you're already going to be facing so many challenges that, like, why add that to the table? You have to have, like, kind of, like, a plan. And frankly, like, with all of this advice, you can still fail, and it doesn't mean you did anything wrong. Sometimes it just doesn't work out.
Joe
Are there any Bachelor Nation couples that you are surprised are still together? Jesus.
Serena
I would. No, skip that question.
Joe
That's. Yeah. What a. What. What a question. But I'm going to answer it.
Serena
Oh, okay. Who.
Joe
Who am I surprised are still together?
Serena
I'll tell you who I'm surprised is still single.
Joe
Who?
Serena
Pilot Pete. I feel like that guy had, like, three, like, final girls. Like, he had, like, three relationships right off his season. I'm like, we gotta get this guy locked down.
Joe
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know. It's kind of hard saying that because it's kind of rude.
Serena
Well. And you could only speak to people that you really know, so you're basically gonna out someone that you're Friends with.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
If you have someone in mind, which I don't think you really do.
Joe
No, I mean, I would be surprised if Gary and Teresa were still together, but they're not.
Serena
If they were still together. Yeah, I would definitely be surprised about that.
Joe
If you could choose anyone from outside of Bachelor Nation to be the next Bachelor, who would you choose?
Serena
Oh, from outside of Bachelor Nation to be the next Bachelor, who would you choose? Oh, okay, So. I don't know.
Joe
Come on, you gotta.
Serena
Well, I. What? I was going. Marcico Marciano. Yeah, Marciano.
Joe
That's not who I choose, though. I know how I would choose.
Serena
Okay. I've seen a lot of people, and I don't really know much about this person, but I've seen a lot of people online calling for Gleb from Dance with the Stars to be the next Bachelor. And I do think because obviously, like, we watched the Bachelor, and I'm obsessed with the Real House or. Yeah. Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Dancing with the Stars. I'm watching all these things right now, Right? Like, I'm really, like, immersing into this little multiverse, and I think all these crossovers that are happening are really fun. So I wouldn't be mad about someone from one of these other popular Hulu shows to become the next Bachelor.
Joe
Well, I mean, I know Glub. I really like Glub. And I think he would be fantastic, but I would choose Dylan Efron.
Serena
Oh, Joe, that's a great pick, too. But he's in a relationship. He's with, like, his high school sweetheart is.
Joe
All right, well, let's just pretend he's not for the sake of the game.
Serena
I think that would. That would be a really good pick.
Joe
Oh, I like this. Next question. 18.
Serena
Okay. You want me to ask it?
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
If you could design one date for the Bachelor, what would you choose?
Joe
Literally anything that they've never done. I would.
Serena
What does that even mean?
Joe
It means I'm so sick of watching the same dates on repeat. Like, I just give me anything. Like, literally anything that they haven't done, I would be just thrilled to watch, like, have them, like, I don't know, like, garden together. Like, I would rather watch that than see another helicopter date. Like, anything I would probably say, like, I would like to see.
Serena
Literally anything they've never done is crazy. But also, like, now that I'm thinking about it, like, they're really on that reuse, reduce, recycle with their dates.
Joe
I would like to see them on. I would choose, like, a wine and cheese date where it Was like a wine tasting date, and you kind of watch both of them, like, get drunk.
Serena
Yeah, but that's not very ABC family friendly.
Joe
Well, I mean, I'm an executive producer, so I'm the showrunner in this scenario.
Serena
Joe is the date producer, the executive producer, the showrunner, and the handler.
Joe
Oh, this is a good question.
Serena
You didn't. Do you have, like, a date idea in mind at all, or.
Joe
No, I just said wine and cheese. Do you have one?
Serena
I want to do something where they have to, like, learn, like, a hard, new skill. Like, go get them in, like, certified in scuba diving or something. Like, something that's, like, something that's gonna bring out, like, tensions. I feel like people learning to do something new that they've never done before, and I'm just gonna see that.
Joe
We see that when they, like, bungee jump and do that.
Serena
I don't want to see them bungee jump anymore because it's too quick. Like, maybe. Maybe strenuous. Like, maybe, like, worse.
Joe
Learn another language together.
Serena
Yeah. Like that sounds.
Joe
Take a Spanish class if neither of them speak Spanish, maybe.
Serena
I don't know.
Joe
Or, like, that would be horrible. Maybe this is why we're not.
Serena
You know, what do. I never watched the show. It was, like, a little before my time. But what was the show with Paris Hilton and Nicole where they were on a farm. Yeah. Where they would make them go try different jobs in these, like, small towns. Isn't that what they would do?
Joe
I don't know. I never saw. But that's a good idea.
Serena
But that would be funny. Like, every time they go to a new city, they have to, like, try a local job, like. Yeah. Like, whole day and have to, like, work that job. Like, something that's, like, not romantic at all.
Joe
Yeah. Like, go work at the postal service.
Serena
Yeah. Like, go deliver mail all day.
Joe
Yeah. This is why. This is why we wouldn't create a.
Serena
No. They're like. And you're fired.
Joe
Who is your favorite bachelor villain of all time?
Serena
I have to think about that for a second. I mean, I'm a little biased because she's from my season, but I think Queen Victoria is, like, so iconic as a bachelor villain. And, I mean, maybe she's not the most, like, famous bachelor villain of all time, but, like, she was really doing her own thing out there, and I love that about her.
Joe
Yeah. Yeah. I don't. I'm trying to think, like, who is, like, a true villain?
Serena
I don't know if there's ever really a true villain. You know, that's the Thing.
Joe
No, I. You know, who. Who I. Who was really shaking things up was the girl that was on Clayton season.
Serena
Girl on Clayton season. Oh. Oh. Oh, my God. I hear her so clearly, Shanae. She was a good villain.
Joe
She was good. Yeah, she was really. She was. She was doubling down, double down in.
Serena
All her interviews after. And that is way more fun for me than seeing them go on an apology tour.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
All right, last one. Ready?
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Oh, my God. This question is. Okay. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Joe
Why are you laughing?
Serena
Because we don't know where we're gonna see ourselves in five months.
Joe
Yeah. I don't know where we're gonna be in five months. So where do I see myself in 10 years? I mean, hopefully. Hopefully I'm a member at a country club.
Serena
You've been saying that, actually. I guess, like, hopefully married still. So far so good. You know, we're four. We're four years in, knock on wood. I think we can make another 10.
Joe
Yeah. I mean, I hope. I hope so. I wasn't even thinking about divorce.
Serena
No. Yeah. I just need to picture myself in 10 years. The only thing that I'm, like, certain will be like, you'll. We'll be married still.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Like, I don't know where we'll be living or what we'll be doing.
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Hopefully. We're having so much fun and making good money and we're healthy and we're in love.
Joe
Yeah. I agree.
Serena
So sweet. Why do you look so uncomfortable?
Joe
Just because I'm uncomfortable physically.
Serena
Like the way you're sitting, Right?
Joe
Yeah.
Serena
Oh, okay.
Joe
Yeah, we have a lot going on. We've been on this couch for a minute now.
Serena
Yeah. All right, well, this is a perfect time, I think, to wrap it up.
Joe
I think so, too. This was a lot of fun. Thank you for joining the podcast.

Podcast: Bachelor Happy Hour
Hosts: Joe Amabile & Serena Pitt
Date: November 24, 2025
This Thanksgiving-themed episode features Bachelor in Paradise newlyweds Joe Amabile and Serena Pitt in an intimate, co-host-only Q&A special. The pair reflect on their recent whirlwind of travels—to Scotland, South Korea, and Japan—share candid takes on marathon mishaps and wedding etiquette, answer burning fan questions, and offer a rare peek into their approach to holidays, anniversaries, and Bachelor Nation hot takes. The tone is playful, honest, and full of the couple’s signature wit and gentle ribbing, making for a lively, behind-the-scenes catch-up with two of Bachelor Nation’s most beloved alumni.
On Joe’s marathon injury:
“The blood in my socks was like... this is terrible.” — Joe, 12:03
On relationship advice for singles:
“Give me 20 things about yourself and then I can maybe give you advice.” — Joe, 30:22
On wedding fashions:
“Your only job when you show up to a wedding is to not wear white and to follow the dress attire.” — Serena, 27:16
On ‘villains’ in the franchise:
“I think Queen Victoria is, like, so iconic as a Bachelor villain.” — Serena, 48:45
“She [Shanae from Clayton’s season] was really doubling down in all her interviews after. That is way more fun for me than seeing them go on an apology tour.” — Serena, 49:33
On their 10-year projection:
“Hopefully I’m a member at a country club.” — Joe, 50:13
“So far so good, you know—we’re four years in, knock on wood, I think we can make another 10.” — Serena, 50:24
The conversation is fast, witty, and occasionally self-deprecating, with the chemistry and authenticity that Bachelor Happy Hour fans have come to love. Both Joe and Serena are candid about their quirks—their disinterest in ceremony, their imperfect communication, and their real-life travel and relationship mishaps—making for a refreshing, relatable listen.
Notable Closing Quote:
“We don’t know where we’re gonna be in five months... hopefully we’re having so much fun and making good money and we’re healthy and we’re in love.” — Serena, (50:41-50:48)
For the Bachelor fan and the casually curious alike, this episode is an honest window into real couple life after reality TV—with all its travel tales, tough love advice, and no-holds-barred hot takes.
