Mm.
Emily Compagno
Oh, that's good. That's the best thing I've ever had in my entire life. Oh, my gosh. This is phenomenal.
Kennedy
Yeah, right? That's from downstairs.
Emily Compagno
Are you serious? Also, these cups even.
Kennedy
Yes. The whole thing. I just took the lids off to class it up a little bit.
Emily Compagno
Oh, my gosh. Wait, are you total. These are from downstairs?
Kennedy
Yes.
Emily Compagno
Wait, do you want to hear the best part?
Kennedy
Yes.
Emily Compagno
Is that there's one more surprise. What about your. From your bachelor property. Yep, one more. It's coming. Just know.
Kennedy
Is the goat here?
Emily Compagno
It didn't end. It didn't end with the delayed flight that we had a good time on and landed in LaGuardia.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Emily Compagno
There's one more. There's one more.
Kennedy
Yeah. Were you. So I was talking to Jimmy about our incredible bachelorette extravaganza, which was very healthy. And I have to say, Emily and I Woke up at 7 in the morning every. Every morning, and we went and swam laps. For real? Like, you can't do that if you're carousing or incapacitated.
Emily Compagno
No. Or. Or I have to. I'm like, wait, I've still been being recorded. Yes. And also, you and I have talked about. That's how we always travel. Whenever we travel together, which is all the time. We incorporate a beautifully balanced amount of working out every morning and beautiful meals. Balanced, awesome meals and desserts. And also good champagne, which we love.
Kennedy
It's critical. It's key.
Emily Compagno
Yeah.
Kennedy
I went to the liquor store where we visited, and I asked if they had a bottle of Veuve because I wanted to get a nice bottle of champagne for us. And the woman looks at me and goes, we don't sell grocery store champagne. I was like, what grocery store sells V. Like, she was looking down at me like, ew. We don't.
Emily Compagno
That.
Kennedy
That peasant slop. Disgusting. Get out.
Emily Compagno
She, like, screamed at me when I went in there asking if she had food too. She was a terrible. She was an anomaly because the rest of the place was amazing.
Kennedy
Absolutely beautiful.
Emily Compagno
But I agree. I wouldn't even have understand that comment, but I was laughing. So you guys, to be even. To even be in that grocery store, you had to be a member of the. The area. And we had these temporary membership cards that the front desk gave us. And so the lady asked Kennedy for, you know, are you a member? And Kennedy was like, oh, yes. Like, here's my membership card. And then she was like, this isn't a real membership card. And Kennedy goes, don't care, and say it. And I was thinking about that, like, literally last night and laughing out loud to myself, because I, like, just sailing through, like, don't care. I'm gonna do that. If someone's like, ma', am, restricted access only, or, like, the VIP door, or, like, we only have chocolate ice cream or whatever it is, I'm gonna say, don't care. You will bring me my dessert.
Kennedy
Feel free to use that. It'll. It'll empower you. It will lighten your heart. Trust me.
Emily Compagno
It'll move the needle.
Kennedy
Are you surprised they gave us golf carts?
Emily Compagno
Yes. I have the funniest video, everybody, of Kennedy. She didn't know that I was filming her. And I was sitting on the front porch enjoying the sun with my coffee. And Kennedy drives the golf cart by in a completely striped, like, you know, those beautiful bath towels or pool towels that are, like, the big white and blue striped, so it's wrapped around her body, and then there's also one wrapped around her head, and she's just driving the golf cart. As if. I feel, like, with the same stoic determination as, like, perhaps, like, our friends drive to the. To the. You know, to Costco with the minivan. Like, that was you just driving the golf cart, like, careening around the corner, headed into our parking spot. It was amazing. We had so much fun.
Kennedy
And one of our partygoers drove us and the golf cart on Saturday night after the Knicks one, because we decided we had seen a bridal party at this beautiful tree house. And so we assumed that because we were excited, that they would also be excited and they would still be there celebrating their wedding. So we drove over to the wedding venue, and they weren't there. But the woman who was driving the golf cart hit a pole.
Emily Compagno
And, like, I. Actually, I'm. I was thinking about that, too, in that I was like, I'm surprised we didn't get in trouble or have security show up. She drove. The funny thing is, she. She was like, well, that was the same way I drove earlier in the day. In between earlier in the day and us driving to celebrate the next winning, the wedding had been constructed. So she drove the golf cart over the dance floor and through the wedding tent and Ending up narrowly missing the, like, table where the food was on. But, you know, again, this was late at night. No one was there.
Kennedy
But we were like, no tables were harmed.
Emily Compagno
It was like a bunking, bucking bronco. But I now understand, you know, when. When, like, the Knicks win, when. When your team wins and you go, like, set fire to trash cans, you just go outside and run around. I now understand that feeling, because that's what we did. We were like, let's take the golf club.
Kennedy
Adrenaline, excitement. It was joy. And we. We got harassed as we were walking into the restaurant. You know, it's like, a few of us had Nick's gear on because we wanted to watch the game and celebrate. And a guy ran up to us, like, spurs and seven. Spurs and seven. And he was so, like, emphatic and, like, mad about it. And I was like, whoa. Like, it's okay. Like, we're not mad at you.
Emily Compagno
We come in peace, and we're not mad at you. When we won in five. Boom. Plus, also, again, to underscore, we were in South Carolina, so it'd be different if we were in San Antonio and wearing Knicks gear and he comes up and says, spurs and seven. Understandable. But it sort of felt like, I don't know, like, who are these two teams of gladiators duking it out randomly in another territory?
Kennedy
Yeah, he was definitely part of the Confederacy, and we were the Yankees coming into town to once again violate their sacred rights.
Emily Compagno
Did someone say violate? Did someone say violate? Well, that's my favorite thing to do on a Friday night.
Kennedy
Well, as a matter of fact, don't go anywhere more. Kennedy Saves the World right after this.

Emily Compagno
Absolutely not.
Kennedy
She didn't. No, it didn't happen.
Emily Compagno
We saw the most beautiful dolphins, and we learned that the waterways are as shallow as 2ft deep and as much as 22ft deep. And so we went boating, and we were surrounded by little river dolphins, you guys, but we could see their fins. And one was cut. It had been cut by the propeller.
Kennedy
They called him Uncle Darryl.
Emily Compagno
Uncle Darrell. And we went to a place called Daufuski's island. I think I'm pronouncing that right. Dafuuski. But you could only get there by Defusky. You talking about Willis Dafuiski, you say it was. You could only get there by boat. And on it was a. An amazing bar, an amazing musician fans.
Kennedy
Oh, I loved. Yes. They have live music on the weekends and they have this giant. It's not a jar, it's a tub of what I thought was iced tea. And they poured us each a glass. And I asked our captain from our beautiful riverboat what's in here? And he said, it's like a Long island iced tea on steroids, but it'll get you much drunker.
Emily Compagno
That's right.
Kennedy
Yeah.
Emily Compagno
And it did.
Kennedy
And we ended up in a bathtub.
Emily Compagno
That's right. We have a picture of. Was delicious, by the way. I love sweet tea. Some people think sweet tea is too sweet. I love it, love it, love it. So it basically tasted like a Long island sweet tea.
Kennedy
Yeah. It was so much sugar, it masked whatever was in there, which might have been more than alcohol. You don't know.
Emily Compagno
No. Also, doesn't everything taste better? What with a straw and a styrofoam cup on a hot day?
Kennedy
Yes. And just tons of ice. And friends.
Emily Compagno
Also, the captain's name was Boo. And so the funniest thing is us picture, like, it was almost like Mad Libs, where everything we said, it ended or began with Boo. And as you guys know, Boo has, like, different connotations. So we would be like, I don't even know. Like, well, you know, the. Like, it basically sounded like we were either admonishing him or coming on to him because every sentence was like, well, I work here, Boo. Like, well, I. You know, that was like admonishing. Or it was like, well, we want to be back at five, Boo. Like, everything was hilarious.
Kennedy
Hey, Boo. Yeah?
Emily Compagno
Can you pass me the champagne? Boo. It was great.
Kennedy
He was. Luckily he was driving and sober. That's right.
Emily Compagno
And you did a swan dive.
Kennedy
I did.
Emily Compagno
It was beautiful. We have a beautiful video sunset all around. And Kennedy did this perfect dive into what was the 22ft deep area. But it was, like, gorgeous.
Kennedy
And also the gator free area, which they warned us that we couldn't go swimming on the boat trip because they said there were gators everywhere, which we saw on one of our daytime golf cart rides. But there were no gators in the salty river. There is now a pair of glasses.
Emily Compagno
That's right. Your glasses look amazing on you. You sacrificed A beautiful pair of glasses to the river gods.
Kennedy
I did. So those of you who wear glasses, you know, sometimes you forget you're wearing them. I've gotten into the shower with my glasses on. I have done this when I don't have glasses on, thinking that I have to push them up. I dove into a river with glasses on, not realizing until I was midair.
Ad Read Announcer
And then.
Kennedy
Then when I came up, I said, please tell me I didn't just have my glasses on. They're like. And Heidi was like, yeah, you did.
Emily Compagno
I did. The thing that was crazy for me as your bestie was, like, watching you do that. And it never even crossed my. Like, I never even thought to be like, take off your glasses.
Kennedy
Like, me neither.
Emily Compagno
So I feel so terrible that I didn't put two and two together as I was watching you. Like, she shouldn't be wearing those, especially given that I have, like, five pairs of sunglasses at the bottom of Lake Washington in my sacrificial altar there, having been through it a million times. But, no, you did. Poor thing. And then you had to wear contacts.
Kennedy
I did, but that was okay because I also had a pair of purple aviators that I wore as glasses, so my face felt right at home. Well, cheers to you.
Emily Compagno
Cheers to you. Right.
Kennedy
Whenever you have a bachelorette, please include me on the email chain.
Emily Compagno
Everybody. Here's the key, by the way, to planning a great betrayal party. Everyone can do it. Number one, you go to Etsy and get a bunch of swag. Personalized.
Kennedy
And she did. She had an entire table with personalized robes, personalized bags, personalized cups.
Emily Compagno
Yes, straws. Yes, straws. Just like the straws you gave me. And little. Little wine charms that go around your. They're like little rings that go around your. But all of it, like, you don't need a lot of money. All of it is super affordable, but it's just sweet and fun, and it makes you feel special.
Kennedy
It was so special.
Emily Compagno
And all you have to do is do that and then get all your besties together and plan a couple. Like, a couple structured things, and then leave enough time to be flexible. So have, like, your nice dinner planned, or for us, the boat trip. Like, have something. Even if it's like, this is the day we're going to the pool together. You don't have to spend any money to have a beautiful bachelorette or bachelor experience. But the key is just letting the bride know, reminding her that she's special and loved and. And the center of attention and, like, that it's her time to shine with her friends. And we did it. It was amazing.
Kennedy
What an incredible time that was. Yay, Emily. You're the best.
Emily Compagno
You're the best.
