Full transcript
- 0:00coming up. But I remember the first day driving in and I was in my car and I looked back and I
- 0:04was like, "Fuck, this is really scary." Why I did that? I think cuz I remember the walk down to I
- 0:09was like, "Do I kiss them on the cheek? Do I hug them? Do I shake their hands?" Literally was like,
- 0:13"Oh, you're going to marry someone in 30 days?" And I was like, "Okay, but um what about a
- 0:17prenup?" Meet Harry Jy, reality TV heartthrob. He's been loved, ghosted, canled, [music] and
- 0:25kissed. He spill his guts. I did what? In a world of ghosting and dodging red flags, Harry's filling
- 0:32his boyfriend's toolbox one lesson [music] at a time. It's Harry Jouy, boyfriend's material. You
- 0:40guys, welcome back to Boyfriend Material, or should I say husband material because we are
- 0:45doing another Let's Marry Harry special. If you don't know yet, Let's Marry Harry is now
- 0:50streaming on Netflix. So, please go check it out. We're going to have bonus episodes on Boyfriend
- 0:54Material talking all things marriage, spilling tea, and even I'll have some special guests
- 1:00from Let's Marry Harry popping in. It's kind of been a while since we did a solo episode. What's
- 1:06new in your life? You got engaged to 20 women. Yeah. What's going on with that? That's really
- 1:10stressful. Like I actually think the first day [clears throat] I remember when I was driving in
- 1:15I think I blacked out because it was the the scariest thing ever. I also didn't know that
- 1:20they were all going to have engagement rings. Wait, what? They didn't tell you. No, I didn't
- 1:24know. I didn't know the premise of it. I don't Well, I knew at the end I had to get married,
- 1:27but then I remember the first day driving in and I was in my car and I looked back and I was like,
- 1:31"Fuck, this is really scary." And then I remember like seeing all the girls with rings on. I'm like,
- 1:36"What [laughter] does this mean?" Anyway, so you went in, you you feel like you blacked out
- 1:40when you arrived, but hopefully you didn't black out the entire experience. So, is there anything
- 1:45you're nervous about people seeing? Yeah, I think there's a moment where I lie, which I'm really
- 1:51worried about that because um it is a bit of a bit of an interesting conundrum to kind of navigate.
- 1:59Um I think I'm also just nervous that like this is the first time of being super vulnerable and
- 2:05like not kind of playing a character. I'm just being myself and having my family involved. I
- 2:11think I'm really like I've been losing a lot of sleep about that. just being scared and
- 2:16um worried about, you know, how they'll handle it or if people will say nice things to them. That's
- 2:23what kind of my goal is because, you know, I don't want my beautiful sisters to have to deal with
- 2:27anything but love and and happiness. So, I've been really worried about that, to be honest.
- 2:30Is there anything aside from you being the true frontman here? What felt different about filming
- 2:35this show compared to your last reality TV shows? This one was just way more serious,
- 2:40like way more serious tone and like the kind of the groundwork that we're doing before it. Like
- 2:46I was reading a lot of self-help books. I was really worried about um wasting anyone's time.
- 2:52I was really worried about wasting Netflix's time and then also like bringing my friends involved.
- 2:57Like there was so many people that I have a really really close relationship with like at Netflix and
- 3:02even at Unwell that was producing it that I was worried about like
- 3:07just wasting people's time and everyone going like this is just Harry being an idiot again.
- 3:11So I think I was scared about that. That was the biggest thing. That makes a lot of sense. Yeah.
- 3:15Also this shirt is like sideways. I don't realize. Oh, a little asymmetrical. Yeah. I don't I've
- 3:20never done Is that intentional? Yeah, I guess. I was like why is my nipple coming out? It feels
- 3:24so [ __ ] Trying to be a husband. You're a husband now. Yeah. Can you rank all of your shows from
- 3:28most nervous you were for them to come out to least? I think Perfect Match was the most nervous
- 3:35or maybe this one. [laughter] This one I legitimately have never felt like I've had a
- 3:40rock in my throat. Like the press days like I've never had clammy hands. I've always been like,
- 3:46"Oh yeah, this will be funny. Like I'll be able to play it off." But like this is because
- 3:51it means a lot to me and it was like such a really beautiful experience. I think like yeah
- 3:55actually this has been the most like nervous because I again being the only guy on the show
- 4:02like all the pressurees on me which is fine which is great but yeah I think this one but perfect
- 4:06match I was more disappointed in myself it makes sense that this one is the most nerve-wracking
- 4:11it's been for you and I think all of us here at well can tell how seriously you've taken
- 4:15it and like how passionate you are about it which is great because [laughter] so it's your wife.
- 4:20Yeah. Like this is your life. Yeah. I know you talked about like being nervous about people,
- 4:25you know, your sisters and their experience. Do you think anyone's going to be mad at you? Yeah,
- 4:29I think people always be mad at me, you know, like but because I think it's quite uh obvious in the
- 4:36show like the push and pull of like trying to be too silly and like playful or kind of taking it
- 4:42serious in a sense. So, I think people always find something to be upset about. But as long
- 4:47as the girls are okay with everything and they had a good time and that's all that matters and they
- 4:51get whatever they need out of it, then that's kind of the goal. What was the last wedding
- 4:54you've been to? Was it your own? Yeah. Yeah, for sure. I think Did I Or maybe my sisters Sarah?
- 5:02Yeah, that was it. Yeah, it's just been my own. Yeah, [laughter] that's crazy. It's crazy. Let's
- 5:07Marry Harry is live on Netflix now. We need to know, are you ready to become husband material?
- 5:13I think that this was the the kind of the whole the scary thought behind the whole show is like
- 5:19am I ready? Am I not? Um I think I am, you know, I think like that's half of it is just knowing
- 5:25that you're ready or putting the thought behind it instead of just going, oh, I'll go with the flow.
- 5:29Feel like I'm when I put my brain to something, I'm pretty adamant on it. So I believe I'm so
- 5:34ready. I'm beyond ready. Um and I hope that it's reflected on the show. I hope people can
- 5:40see that. [laughter] Okay, before we go and watch back the first episode,
- 5:45you have you seen it before? Have you seen? No. So, I'm nervous. [laughter] So, I'm sweating. My
- 5:50top lip is sweating. I was re-watching it last night. It's very fun. It's very lovely. Don't
- 5:56worry. Um, but before like we do that, how many times did you cry this season? At least twice.
- 6:02Okay. Is there more? I'm going to start counting, but Okay. In it was a lot the first day. Not a
- 6:07lot the first day, but we There's a crying shot in the first episode. I definitely cried on the
- 6:11first day because I remember the first um so when you do these shows you have to do like your intros
- 6:17and I remember the first moment um I got very lucky with my producer Parisa like we were glued
- 6:23to each other's hips the whole time like she couldn't get rid of me well cuz also her job um
- 6:27but I remember the first moment we sit down to do like the hero interview shot where she's like
- 6:34you know asking if I'm ready and asking about my dad and all this stuff and I remember it was the
- 6:37first like one of the first questions about my dad and immediately tears. Like I was still like
- 6:42I was like, "Oh my god, this is happening." And I couldn't stop crying and I was like, "Fuck,
- 6:45no, [laughter] not yet." That was meant to be funny. I don't know if that's going to be in the
- 6:49first thing, but cuz I know we changed outfits cuz they're like, "Oh, you need to be in the suit." If
- 6:53I'm in the blue outfit, I was definitely crying about my dad. Yeah. Well, I'm so excited for
- 6:58everyone to get to see this side of you. Yeah, [laughter] I'm nervous. Don't be nervous. Okay.
- 7:06It looks good on paper to have 20 fiances and to be living with 20 girls.
- 7:13Why do I keep kissing everyone? But it is chaos and there is going to be a lot of drama.
- 7:18I'm looking for a connection. I'm not Why am I crying [laughter] so much? Just like
- 7:25this is so dramatic. And I could imagine my life for both of them. Oh my god. [laughter]
- 7:33Wow. I feel so lightheaded. That was your first time seeing? Yeah. So,
- 7:39you're feeling lightheaded. You look flushed. Am I? Yeah. I'm gonna pass out.
- 7:44No, I think cuz like a lot of those crying scenes is and like a lot of the dramatic moments. I was
- 7:51really battling with um the grief of my dad, losing my dad. So, like on the rock there,
- 7:57I know in like New Zealand and I was really like struggling. I was having a really tough time. And
- 8:01then yeah, it's the first time seeing like all the girls since the show too. So like they look great
- 8:07which is awesome. Have you reflected on your time in New Zealand that much since filming? Or is it
- 8:12something you've kind of set aside? I think I fully put it to the side like this whole even
- 8:16this whole experience. I think because it was so quick and there was so much happening every day
- 8:22that I fully just like kind of yeah put it to the side of my brain and like forgot about it. So now
- 8:28to have to relive [laughter] this is wild. Well, luckily we get to put it aside a little longer
- 8:33because that's not in the first episode. Oh, like that is in the first episode. [laughter] But we're
- 8:38not going to see any New Zealand footage. Oh, okay. From here on out. So, we'll keep pushing
- 8:43that down the line. Okay, cool. That was actually the last beach that I went with with my dad. So,
- 8:47I was I was really struggling. I remember I was sitting on that rock and then I was just like
- 8:53I was there for maybe an hour. Thought I was by myself. I forgot I was filming a reality show.
- 8:57And then I just hear someone behind me. It's like it was a [ __ ] camera. Wait, so you're saying you
- 9:03forgot you were being on a reality show in that moment? Did you find that you kept forgetting
- 9:06while you were filming? Are you so in it that you don't even realize there's cameras sometimes?
- 9:11Yeah, I think like also because it just felt so natural and organic and with the girls like it
- 9:16felt like such a safe space that I was just like, "Oh, this is this is what we're meant to be doing
- 9:21and you kind of forget that there's a whole camera [laughter] crew recording everything."
- 9:25So like, yeah, these moments where I was kind of having a meltdown. I was just like, "Oh,
- 9:29this is just, you know, me back in New Zealand seeing my family." And then I remember I just
- 9:34like hear people walking behind me and I'm like, "Fuck, there's a whole crew." That's so pretty.
- 9:41Wow. This is like real now. I just want a husband and a family so badly, to be honest. Crazy. You
- 9:48said at the top you didn't know they were going to be wearing wedding rings. Yeah. So, you didn't
- 9:53you didn't choose a ring for each wife? No. I guess they had submitted their perfect engagement
- 9:58ring or like their ideal engagement ring. Were you able to notice a difference between their rings
- 10:03or do they all look the same to deal? No, they all had different rings. Oh, really? Yeah. Like
- 10:06some of them were is it emerald cut and then like the rectangle one? And they all real diamonds and
- 10:11stuff, too. What? Yeah, it was all real. Your 20 wives were really decked out. It's kind of crazy.
- 10:16Yeah. I remember just being like, I'm pretty sure we blew the budget on this. [laughter] But they
- 10:20didn't they didn't keep their diamonds. No. Once they get eliminated, they they hand them back.
- 10:25So that was also really traumatic cuz like everyone was getting attached to them and
- 10:29all the girls that were like so they'd always show them off. It was really nice. I was like
- 10:33damn who was going to get like a hairy jy ex fiance ring. Like [laughter] god. Yeah.
- 10:41I don't know. I want to marry Harry because I think he's handsome and I think he's super tall
- 10:48and cool and he could definitely look really cute in a little prince outfit for Halloween.
- 10:52That's the reason she wants [laughter] to marry me. Crazy. Not a horrible reason. Yeah,
- 10:57a horrible reason. Would you rather like he's funny or Yeah, true. Yeah, that's
- 11:01I love I get excited. You look so cool in that car. the coolest I've ever felt cuz they shut down
- 11:07the whole PC2 and you were actually marriage. Yeah, it was really scary. A partnership,
- 11:13a lifelong [music] bond with you and that person full of trust and love and all the magical things
- 11:18that come in between it. I've never put a ring on this finger before and it feels so surreal like
- 11:29holy guacamole this could actually be a thing.
- 11:32Oh, do you know much about Hickory? No. I mean, I knew him from Too Hot to Handle years ago.
- 11:42The only thing I looked up was his height and his sign. What do you think? His sign.
- 11:47A Gemini and 65. I'm a 58 Aquarius. That's giving soulmates. Giving soulmates. No. Chat GBT said so.
- 11:54So, no one knows [laughter] anything about me. No, that's good. But you're a 65 Gemini.
- 11:58That's all that matters. I guess the girls talk about not knowing too much about you.
- 12:03Did you know anything about them prior to filming? Like were you given bios? Like
- 12:07what? Nothing. No. That was the craziest thing. I think that was the hardest moment was trying to
- 12:11memorize everyone's names. And I guess that's been the biggest thing online is people saying like,
- 12:16"Oh, Harry only cast like brunette." I was like, I don't even I don't even cast anyone. I don't I'm
- 12:20not in the casting room. Like I don't know what was going on. I just showed up and I blacked out.
- 12:26After [laughter] the day one, did they give you like a face sheet with everyone's pictures?
- 12:30No. No, they didn't give me any face sheet or anything. I was just like
- 12:34there. So, like if you're the third time you're talking to Sam and she's like, "I'm Sam." Yeah,
- 12:38cuz there's like three Sams like Sammy, Samantha, Sam. Like, that was really confusing, too. I'm
- 12:43like, "Guys, please make it easy on me cuz I'm stupid." [laughter] You're not stupid, Harry.
- 12:49I got [music] divorced three years ago. We were high school sweethearts. We got together really,
- 12:54really young. We tried. It just wasn't there. And I know what I do deserve now. And I know
- 13:00that I'm not going to settle again. Juliana opens up about being divorced from her high
- 13:05school sweetheart. Yeah. When you learned that, did you feel any sort of pressure
- 13:08or take a different approach getting to know her? No. I think with um a few of the girls had
- 13:14maybe a couple had already been previously married. I think it just showed that they were
- 13:20maybe taking it way more serious because it was obviously they know kind of the the heaviness of
- 13:26marriage and how serious it is. So I think like it made me appreciate the fact that they wanted to do
- 13:31it a little bit more cuz I was like, "Oh wow." You know, they've been through they've been through
- 13:34it and they've seen the highs and lows of marriage and they're ready to to commit themselves again is
- 13:38wild. Especially for me. Are these women who have been divorced before is are they telling you in
- 13:43the first conversation? Is that something that was overwhelming to you when you were learning this?
- 13:47Yeah, I think the first day because no one knew who was getting eliminated, how it was working,
- 13:53what was going on. So, I know the first day everyone was kind of just putting every all
- 13:57their cards on the table and like telling their life story, which was like really appreciated, but
- 14:02also it was really heavy cuz I remember I was just feeling the pressure of like, oh my god, this is
- 14:06wild. A wild incredible experience. And then trying to remember everyone's names and then also
- 14:12trying to remember their very important stories and their life stories cuz I didn't want to mess
- 14:17it up and I didn't want to like it. I remember I was being scared cuz I didn't want to say
- 14:22get someone's story confused with someone else's and then put it on them. It was very scary.
- 14:26It was very stressful. Yeah. I don't recommend dating 20 people once. [gasps] I need a guy to
- 14:31spice up my life. Some of that's going to excite me. I feel like guys are so boring these days.
- 14:37Sorry. Amber says guys are so boring these days. What did your dating history look like leading
- 14:43up to the filming of Let's Marry Harry? What was I doing? I think I I was pretty
- 14:48cuz you know we knew for a while that like this was going to happen because it just doesn't happen
- 14:53overnight. So I guess I remember I was really just trying to be within myself and be alone
- 14:59and understand myself better cuz I was worried that I didn't want to get I didn't want to start
- 15:03seeing someone and then feel kind of pulled away from them or take away from the experience of all
- 15:08these girls are also getting ready to do the show. So I know leading up to I was very very
- 15:13private and to myself. There was a video that one of his friends told him that
- 15:20she was pregnant and he started crying. It's really sweet. I don't want to have babies.
- 15:26He's [ __ ] boy turned to fiance [music] and I'm literally ho turned a housewife.
- 15:30Oh my god. I've been around. I have [music] had what I want to. I don't need to explore
- 15:35anymore. [laughter] What is making you sweat right now? I just can't believe that this is
- 15:40happening. [laughter] Like wow. Like I legitimately am sweating. [laughter]
- 15:47Yeah. I think cuz like I didn't know like obviously I only know what I saw when I was
- 15:51driving in and like but I forget that they were all talking and like became friends quite quickly
- 15:57and that this was all a TV show as well. That's kind of wild. Your confessionals were those
- 16:03filmed in the house? Like was that set up in the house? Yeah. So they had the main house and then
- 16:07there was like another warehouse that was a little bit over and they fully like gutted the interior
- 16:12and built out this like beautiful set that um so the confessionals were a little bit away from
- 16:18their house cuz it was only one of them and it was hard with I can imagine with all the girls
- 16:22um so they'd have to schedule it kind of crazy but yeah and then I had a different like the
- 16:27their nanny cam or whatever it was where that was in the house it was like all the girls were
- 16:31downstairs and there was obviously the whole house was rigged up but then it was my bedroom upstairs
- 16:36and then this spare room over here where I would just walk in and just before I would
- 16:40go to bed like these are my thoughts and when I wake up these are my thoughts and it was a lot.
- 16:44It was pretty wild. The girls or your fiances had a wide variety of careers coming into the show.
- 16:50Was there any job or career that interested you the most? Yeah, I think uh Ellie I remember when
- 16:58we first went in someone they were like, "Yeah, one of the ladies here is probably way richer than
- 17:02you." And I was like, "What? No way. so exciting. And then um I remember when I met her, I was like,
- 17:06"Oh, wow. This is really fascinating." Just like her life story and what she does is really cool.
- 17:11Then also like Amber's like um being a travel photographer is really really exciting and really
- 17:16intriguing, too. Um cuz that's that's so fun. And then always looking for something beautiful
- 17:21and to take a photo of that. I teach Pilates. I'm also a mommy. Yeah. He's the light of my life.
- 17:28We have fun, just the two of us. But I'm doing it for me and for him because
- 17:32obviously like if a healthy marriage comes out of this, then that would be super exciting for him
- 17:39to have that stability that we are lacking. Sammy reveals she has a seven-year-old son during her
- 17:45confessional, but also to the other woman in the house. We see her get emotional about missing him.
- 17:50Did you approach that relationship any differently knowing there was a child involved? Yeah, I think
- 17:55with Sammy I was pretty like open and honest that like hey this like I'm not expecting you to be
- 18:03away from your son. Like I know that's really difficult and obviously it's another layer of
- 18:07how serious everyone was taking it like for her to be away from her boy was was a lot. But I remember
- 18:13I told her I was like hey like if at any point this gets too much or you miss him too much like
- 18:19don't worry about me. Like it's all good. Like I would I fully understand. like I'm not going to
- 18:24feel any type of way about um that and I know that's your that's 100% your priority. So I
- 18:30remember those conversations were really difficult cuz I I kind of I felt so conflicted um cuz also
- 18:35like I couldn't promise or anything cuz I didn't know what was going on. I didn't know the process.
- 18:40I didn't know who was getting eliminated or what was going on. So I couldn't
- 18:43be like ah stay a week or whatever or stay a little bit longer. I couldn't really do any of
- 18:47that. And I was just like, I just want you to know that no matter what you feel, if you feel
- 18:51called to going back to your son, please do it. Don't worry about me. So, it was it was difficult.
- 18:56Your emotional maturity here is very husband material. Is it good? Cool. You're crushing.
- 19:02I think we touched on this a little bit already, but your wives all have such different backgrounds
- 19:07during the casting process. Were you able to give any non-negotiables or preferences to the casting
- 19:12directors or they're like, "We got this?" No, I literally was just like whatever you guys feel
- 19:17is best. I don't want to think about it. I just want to show up and know that like your brains
- 19:21are probably way smarter than mine. [laughter] Like you got to give yourself more credit here.
- 19:27Honestly, I was just like and then I know Alex was like kind of she had the the last looks and and
- 19:33I'm like I would trust her. So my dating history is terrible. So my friends are here to help you.
- 19:39Looking good. Hi guys. Amanda is my north star in all of this. She's been there
- 19:47through all the tough times and the hard times with dealing with grief. Love you.
- 19:52I know no matter what, Amanda [music] will have my back. [laughter]
- 19:58Georgie is my ex-girlfriend and she's here because all my other exes said no. Which is not true.
- 20:05George and I have a really good relationship. I remember actually first day we were filming
- 20:08there was an ex whose agent wasounding Netflix to get her on the show. I even had an
- 20:14ex's agent to come to a charity event that I was hosting to tell me to get Netflix to
- 20:20send the contract so she could be on the show. And I was like no there's no way. I was like we
- 20:25this this is for Georgia. So how did Georgia win out of all the ex's obviously competitive
- 20:30slot to fill. Well, the thing is with Georgia is she's a good person and like she was coming like
- 20:37this is a it's a crazy thing to walk into. Like I couldn't imagine being an ex and walking into this
- 20:42environment and like having to do this for her. Like it's very daunting. Like it's quite
- 20:45intimidating. And I just guess cuz I told when they were doing like the casting for the show,
- 20:49I just said you can interview every single person in my life, whoever you feel is best
- 20:53for it. I don't want there to be any rules and regulations. I said any X, whatever you need.
- 20:57But I [snorts] think just because Georgia was we'd recently became really close again
- 21:02and she was really there when uh after my dad had passed. So it was like hard to ignore that. It was
- 21:07hard to discount that. And I think the other exes that they had spoken to were just being really
- 21:12nasty and mean and and for some reason just wanted to do it for themselves instead of hey
- 21:16like let's come together and let's do something cool and uh try and change history. [laughter]
- 21:23So wild. What's one thing about Georgia that you admired that she brought to the show? Um,
- 21:29you know, Georgia gave a more I think for me personally and not about the whole experience,
- 21:35but with me, I was like I couldn't really like dance around anything because she'd seen like
- 21:41my highs, my lows, like we had a very up and down relationship. So, I kind of just had to be
- 21:47who I am and who I wanted to be. like I couldn't like she could see if I was being a little bit
- 21:51naughty or a younger version of myself was coming out and she could clock those like
- 21:55characteristics. So, I really appreciated that insight. Like that was really really helpful.
- 21:59Um and she really like I think with the girls too, it was nice for them to connect with her
- 22:04and talk with her throughout the whole process. She just gives such a a light to everything.
- 22:09In addition to Georgia, you also had Amanda, one of your very good friends, and then Sunny,
- 22:13who you call an honorary brother. What how did you choose Amanda and Sunny to be two of the other
- 22:18mentors? Amanda just she took it the most serious like she was very formal with her approach and she
- 22:26really didn't want she didn't really want me to waste anyone's time but also my own and she really
- 22:31cares and Sunny just like doesn't trust any of my other friends. Like he's he was like I feel
- 22:37like this is like he's he's a no [ __ ] friend. Like he'll he doesn't care about TV. He doesn't
- 22:42care about fame or whatever else. He just cares about me. um and also the godfather to his son.
- 22:48So, he wanted to make sure that whoever I'm bringing back is gets a thumbs up from him.
- 22:53And do you feel like the trio, Georgia, Amanda, Sunny, like they worked well together throughout?
- 22:59You know, I know I remember the first day there was a bit of friction like before this moment
- 23:03before I walked out. It was a bit of friction, but then they they all figured it out because I guess
- 23:09everyone had like high emotion like going into it cuz it's like kind of scary and like weird
- 23:14and no one knew what to expect. So, I know we were everyone was kind of trying to figure out where
- 23:18everyone was landing after the first day. It was pretty smooth sailing. Like they had a group chat
- 23:24um where they were kind of kiki and catch up on everything and yeah, they were watching the whole
- 23:28time which was really wild. It makes sense that there was probably friction between them because
- 23:33all three of them were taking it so seriously. So the pressure of determining one of their good
- 23:38friends future is so wild. It's really weird. It's a weird idea. I feel like you're so ready
- 23:44for this journey in your life. I know you want to be a husband. I know you want kids. I know you
- 23:48want a family. And like I hope you find somebody that you just want to love and who will love you
- 23:55in return because that's important too. Yeah. I just uh obviously you know you're the three cry
- 24:01I have in my life. Swear to God I was choking up. That's why I had to look down cuz I was
- 24:05going to cry. Wait, why? What about this? Seeing all three of them together made you want to cry.
- 24:11I think cuz it was real now and I was like oh my god I'm about to go do it. [screaming]
- 24:16Hi you little treasures. Well, thank you so much for waiting. Hello. How you doing?
- 24:20I don't know why I shook her hand. [laughter] Nice to meet you. How you doing? So, you were
- 24:24noticeably nervous, red, and flustered during the first episode and Sam calls you out on it later.
- 24:31What was it like walking into a garden of 20 beautiful women? I think I'm sweating
- 24:36now thinking about it again. Like, it was so weird and surreal like all these incredible ladies there
- 24:44wanting to meet me, potentially get married. Like, oh my god. I I I like I I remember my
- 24:50brain was doing back flips trying to figure out like how to just be calm and like be normal and
- 24:55not freaked them out. But I don't want them to think I was weird, too, cuz I was really scared
- 24:58about it. Well, you were so nervous. You shook one of their hands. Yeah. I don't know [laughter] why
- 25:02I did that. I think cuz I remember the walk down too. I was like, do I kiss them on the cheek? Do
- 25:06I hug them? Do I shake their hands? I don't want someone to think that like I'm being weird by only
- 25:12shaking someone's hand and then hugging someone else. So I think my brain was just like I think in
- 25:16these moments you're overanalyzing everything and trying to make sure that you're doing
- 25:20the right thing and the right thing by the whole group instead of just one person and that was also
- 25:25tough. Okay. You came out you you drove this sick car down the PCH. You come out in like this sharp
- 25:30nice tan suit. What went into wardrobe? Were you trying on Were you like panicking? Was it like
- 25:35what am I going to wear to meet these women? Thank god we had the best stylist Dena. So she like
- 25:39I didn't have to think about anything. I just show up and she's like this is what you're wearing. And
- 25:43that was the best [laughter] feeling cuz like I don't know what I was going to do. If it was left
- 25:48up to me, I probably would have I probably would have just not shown up. Nice to meet you. Nice to
- 25:52meet you. Thank you so much. No, my brace already. Oh my god. [laughter] That's actually legit.
- 25:59Is that real? Is that real? Do you remember that moment of Shane getting stuck around you?
- 26:04I blacked out. Literally blacked out. But I thought I thought I was like, "Oh, this is a good
- 26:07bit." Like, but I don't know if that was I still don't know if that's real. [laughter] You know,
- 26:12you're hearing some of the girls share their apprehension and nerves about your dating history.
- 26:17How does that feel watching it back? You know, it's valid. Like, it's fair enough to to feel
- 26:22some type of way. I guess also like having my whole dating life since I was like 19, 20,
- 26:29be on a show in some way, shape, or form. Like, imagine if any like if everyone had
- 26:34their early 20s being filmed and their dating life, like I'm sure they wouldn't be perfect. So,
- 26:39there's a lot of highs and lows. So, I fully understand that they would be feeling
- 26:43some type of way about it, but I guess hopefully, you know, with this whole experience, they see the
- 26:48new version of me and like the the growth. Oh, look at that shower. This is crazy. [cheering]
- 26:55Very sexy in here. Whose idea was it to get in the shower? I think I was just so nervous that
- 27:01I was like, "Everyone, like, let's try and get in the shower. Like, let's make it funny." I
- 27:06think that was where my brain was going. like how can I make this like light and funny instead of
- 27:11really serious [laughter] early on. Yeah. You say the version of myself you see online is not
- 27:16a true reflection of who I am. Can you elaborate on that? Yeah. I think when you when in the past
- 27:24things that I've posted or things that I've said online has been either for a reaction
- 27:29or for some sort of engagement or whatever else. I think I believe after I was on tour to handle
- 27:34it was cuz it was such a hypersexualized show I came off that like oh everyone just wants to see
- 27:39that like people just want to see you being crazy or involved in drama or whatever else. So I think
- 27:44I just would play into that. Um and I guess the only version that people would see when they would
- 27:50look at me online would be that like playing into that drama instead of like the person that I was
- 27:55at home. So I think it like took me a little bit of time to realize that like that is not
- 27:59who I really want to be. I think something that stands out and is different about this show
- 28:03versus other similar dating shows is you're actually living in the house with the woman.
- 28:08What was that like? I think living in the house was difficult because when you come down to have
- 28:14breakfast in the morning or like get coffee, you got to like hug and kiss everyone. [laughter] Like
- 28:20that was scary cuz I was like yeah saying good morning to everyone was a lot.
- 28:24Um no it was nice. It was really nice to be in the house with everyone. Were people like coming up to
- 28:27your room when you were taking downtime or were they pretty respectful? Yeah, it was never any
- 28:32downtime and then as soon as like we'd be done for the day and I'd go to bed like I would knock out
- 28:36if if someone came in like I would be so exhausted that I would just be asleep. You filmed the show
- 28:42almost a year ago. You've mentioned that you blacked out. But now that you're watching back,
- 28:46is there something from this first day of filming that is coming back to you that
- 28:51you don't think you'll ever forget that you remember the most? Oh, I think I just remember
- 28:56the only thing in my brain was like, [ __ ] I don't want to waste anyone's time. Um,
- 29:01and I remember just Yeah, honestly, I don't know. Like, just seeing this is
- 29:06kind of weird and wild. Oh, I think you have something in your face. You're That's a
- 29:12[laughter] There's nothing in my face. No, there was. It was actually I I was thinking for the
- 29:17future it might have been my lipstick. Oh, I've kind of like been in front of the camera, but
- 29:22like also behind the scenes like my whole life. So, it's kind of been like a tease. Yeah. Um,
- 29:27I feel like at like a young age, I've been like teased in front of the camera. It's been like
- 29:32supposed to happen, but not actually happening. I remember that. Wow. How was that? [laughter]
- 29:39You said you could smell out that Maya A just wanted to be on TV and it was the worst first
- 29:44impression. Since you've spent so much of your life in the spotlight and on camera,
- 29:49what was it about that experience, like your experience that made you realize you don't want
- 29:53the same thing from a partner? Yeah, I guess like if you know if it was a show, it was like
- 29:59taught to handle like perfect match or it's like a hookup show, I'd be like, "Okay, cool." Like
- 30:02that's fully fine to have the energy on that. But I think because I was taking it so serious that
- 30:07when she came in hot and heavy like that, I was a little bit like deflated and I was like,
- 30:11just lie to me a little bit and pretend that you like actually [laughter] want to marry me.
- 30:15That would make me feel good. But yeah, I think we all saw it right away. I know like Georgia, Sunny,
- 30:21and Amanda were up in a room and they came down after and they're like, "What was that?" I'm like,
- 30:25"I actually don't know." Like she I was like, "At least like lie to me." I remember just like tell
- 30:29me a little bit just so like it's at least a bit convincing that you're here for the right reason.
- 30:34But it's again at end of the day like it's a TV show so it's all good. I get people
- 30:39want to kind of figure out their careers and that's all good. But hey, at least she didn't
- 30:43start your relationship off on a lie. That's true. Yeah. At least she was on us from the jump which
- 30:48is kind of cool. At the end of this first night, Sunny, Amanda, and Georgia announced that there's
- 30:54going to be a group date. How did you get in the right mindset going in to prepare for that
- 30:59group date experience? Honestly, by the end of the night, like I was so exhausted and yeah,
- 31:05I was like, it'd be nice to have a have some alone time with the girls outside of the house so I can
- 31:11figure them out a little bit more. And obviously Sunny, George, and Amanda were watching them,
- 31:15even interacting with each other. So, my brain was like, it'd be good to learn more about these
- 31:20girls, especially the ones that they pick are like solid um to get to know first off. But
- 31:26I know after the first night, I was so ready for bed. I was so exhausted. Sam got picked to go on
- 31:32that group date even though y'all did not get to connect that first night. How many other girls did
- 31:37you also not get to connect with that first night? A little bit more than half of them that we did.
- 31:44Um cuz I remember a few girls were like really upset cuz we didn't get that first moment and
- 31:49then I went on a group date and then I came back and I know they at the house kind of anxious like
- 31:53wanting to meet. So, I think there was like more than we did more than we met more than half the
- 31:57first night and then yeah, I went away and then came back and was like, "Okay, I really need to
- 32:02speak to them." Your first date on the boat looked pretty fun. You had the jet skis with Charlie. You
- 32:08got a rub down from Sam. What do you remember about that first date? You know, I remember
- 32:13just being like so excited to get to be on a boat uh with the girls and knowing that we're
- 32:19all doing like different fun date activities cuz it was like no pressure. It was just like,
- 32:23"Oh, we're all getting to know each other. We're all on a yacht together on a group date." Like,
- 32:27that was really exciting. But I remember in my head, I'm like, "Am I allowed to kiss people?"
- 32:31And I was being worried. Now that you've watched this episode for the first time, you've heard
- 32:36all of your wives initial reactions to you, their feelings of excitement and apprehension
- 32:40that you maybe have never seen before. Is any of this altering your perspective of them or change
- 32:45how you're looking back on your time at the show? Um, not really. You know, I think like
- 32:52kind of been it's been like nearly a year. So to look back at it, like
- 32:57I think I was just more nervous about how I was being and I didn't again I didn't want
- 33:03them to feel like I didn't want to give anyone less. You I wanted to make sure that everyone had
- 33:08equal and a good time. So I don't know like I feel fine watching it back. Like it's really exciting
- 33:14and like I just hope that they all get exactly what they need out of it. Whether that's,
- 33:19you know, a new career, whether that's Instagram followers, whether that's more TV shows,
- 33:24like whatever it is, or their potential husbands are watching this and they're like,
- 33:28"Cool, I want to marry that girl. She's awesome." Like, whatever they want out of this experience,
- 33:33I hope that it comes their way cuz they're all incredible people and they all deserve
- 33:37good things. Well, I'm so excited for everyone to get to continue watching Mary Harry. It's my
- 33:43favorite show. There we go. [laughter] All right, we are done watching the first episode. There's
- 33:49going to be so much more of this. But before we wrap up today, just to test if you're actually
- 33:54ready to be a husband, we have a little marriage trivia. Okay, let's see how much you know. Okay,
- 34:01some of these are like pop cultury. Okay, so I think you might have them. The first question
- 34:05is Kim Kardashian has been married three times. Correct. Name all. Correct. True.
- 34:13Uh, name all three of her husbands in order. Chris, there's a guy and then there's Chris, and
- 34:18there's Kanye. Yeah. Yeah. Damon Thomas. I knew it was Damon. Yeah. And that one was kind of secret.
- 34:25They don't talk about him that much. Yeah. Chris Humphre always gets credit as the first husband.
- 34:29Yeah. Who is he? Why is he famous? Chris Humphre. Yeah. He's a basketball player. Sick. The start of
- 34:35the Kardashian curse. Wow. Okay. True or false? Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston's wedding cake
- 34:42had seven tiers to it. Yes, true. That is a fact. Yeah, I was there. [laughter] It was a
- 34:49seven tiered carrot cake, which is kind of crazy. That's kind of crazy for a wedding. A carrot cake.
- 34:55I think that would be my wedding cake. Carrot A seven tiered carrot cake. Maybe not seven tiers.
- 34:59Yeah, like that's a lot of carrot cake. They love it that much. It's crazy. Good for them.

- 35:10you have to legally update it. And what's the first thing you should update? Your license,

- 35:36card has to be first. Okay. And then your driver's license, passport, bank accounts. Wow. Employer,
- 35:42utilities, like your phone. So, you kind of got it. Points. True or false? In most US states,
- 35:48a prenuptual agreement can be written on a piece of paper the night before the wedding
- 35:53and still be legally valid. No. Because I remember we were doing this and they're like, "It has to be
- 35:5730 days before the wedding and everyone has to have their lawyers look over it." Is that true?
- 36:03Wait, you're right. So, it's false. Okay. Prenups need to be drafted in advance,
- 36:07signed by both parties, ideally with independent legal counsel. Period. Did you get a prenup? No.
