[MUSIC - MIKE RENO & ANN WILSON, "ALMOST PARADISE"]
Almost paradise.
We're knocking on heaven's door.
Almost paradise.
How could we ask for more.
Paradise.
Hey guys.
I'm Tracy.
And I'm Andy.
OK.
You're probably wondering where Cory is.
So we work at The Ellen Show and we actually work.
He's in a meeting right now and so
he can't be here which is a really big bummer.
Because.
We have a huge surprise for him.
Come on in surprise.
Look, this is what we were going to surprise him with.
Grocery Store Joe!
It's so good to have you.
Oh, yay!
You guys are excited.
I like it.
I wanna hug you.
Joe, it's so good to have you here.
Here's the thing--
Thanks for coming, by the way.
You got it.
Glad to be here.
Here's the thing.
Paradise for you was the perfect scenario for you.
Yeah.
One episode.
I was shocked they asked me to go on it
to be totally honest with you.
Oh, when they called me, I'm like you guys want me--
So like--
--to come back?
--this is Joe though, Grocery Store Joe.
That shows that you did have an impact
and people did fall for you.
Yeah.
Let's talk about this because you went home
on the first night.
Obviously, this is your story, and the world
fell in love with you.
Yeah.
And do you think it's just like how cute your face is?
I don't know what it is.
If I had to guess, just guessing, it's your cute face,
you have really good teeth, nice dimples, light eyes.
If I had to guess.
OK.
So what happened that first night,
why don't you think you connected with Becca?
I freaked out.
You did?
Yeah.
So getting there-- so we're in the limo.
And I'm like [BLEEP] I'm getting really nervous.
I step out of the limo and I froze.
I'm like, oh my God.
I walked up to her I said I forgot
everything I was going to say.
Which is endearing.
Yeah.
It's great.
It means you're a normal person.
I didn't work.
Normal people get nerves.
So did you talk to Becca that night again?
I did.
Yeah.
I did.
How long was your conversation, would you say?
A couple of minutes.
A couple minutes.
It was horrible.
It went horrible.
I think I asked her what her pet peeve was.
I think that's how I started it off.
Guys that can't talk.
There was a photo of you and Becca at Bloomingdale's.
What was happening there?
So she came to Chicago.
She put on her Instagram story, hey, I'm in Chicago.
I responded back and then I went shopping for Paradise
because I found out I was going to Paradise that night,
the following night.
And we were going past Bloomingdale's and she
was walking across the street.
And that's not a lie.
I swear on my life.
You literally co-incidentally saw her.
Yeah.
So then we were going to jump out of the car
and then I'm like, wait I don't really know her that well.
[LAUGHTER]
She sent me home.
I can just jump out on her.
Hey, Becca.
It's me Grocery Store Joe.
She walks into Bloomingdale's with her sister
and I think another friend.
I was with two of my friends.
And we're like, all right.
So we parked the car and we went and looked for her
and we found her.
I was like, hey what's up, remember me?
In Paradise, did you get to talk to Becca there?
Because she came.
Um, no.
She went and talked to Tia--
Yeah.
Not really.
--and then she went and talked to Colten.
OK.
She didn't make the rounds.
Let me ask about the Colten, Tia situation
because it has been very in our face.
The situation everybody talks about nonstop?
It's good throughline--
It's--
--for a couple episode anyhow.
--the elephant in the room of, literally, the entire season.
Did you guys feel like it was such a big subject
that it was kind of all-encompassing
the entire time?
I think a lot of people did.
I didn't.
I didn't really care.
I still don't, you know?
So right where we are right now in the season,
you and Kendall seem to be doing well.
However, we have seen a tease.
We see Tarzan Leo with his beautiful locks come in
and it seems to be some serious drums.
Yeah.
Tell me.
You may have been a part of that, may not
have been a part of that.
I guess I'm part of a love triangle, which I never
plan on being in.
I just can't see him coming in and winning her over.
Lots of margaritas.
Well, that's why you got to wait and see what happens.
Who are your closest friends from Bachelor Nation?
Who are you still in touch with, who are you still hanging out
with, male or female.
Yeah.
Because you're a part of it now--
Yeah.
--like it or not.
I guess I really can't disclose the female.
Ah, so there's a story there.
You could've because you could've said,
yeah, female, nobody really.
But now that leads me to believe that you end up
with somebody at the end.
Well, that's what I'm trying to do.
I like all the guys, though.
I got along with everyone.
Well--
For the most part.
If you had to pick a best man that is in Bachelor Nation.
Probably Jordan.
Really?
Yeah.
Jordan?
Jordan would be my best man, yeah.
He makes me laugh.
He's funny.
So here's what we're going to do.
We're going to play a game.
The first word that pops in your head--
--when we point to one of these people.
OK.
Bibiana.
Cool.
Krystal.
Aggressive.
Yep.
We know that.
David.
Regular.
He's a regular guy.
That's awesome.
That's David's whole thing.
Well, I'm a regular guy.
Caroline.
There you go.
I guess that was the first word that came to my mind.
You said her name.
Did you feel for her because she kind of--
what happened to you the first night happened to her.
In paradise, none the less.
In front of everybody.
She was so unbelievably nervous.
Yeah.
No.
I didn't feel bad for her.
Kendall.
Pretty.
Jordan.
Jordan the model.
Yeah.
The model.
Simple.
Speaking of Jordan.
Jordan had a connection with Annaliese--
Jenna shows up.
--but then Jenna shows up.
Everyone in the episode, while we were watching it,
was like, oh my God.
Sparks.
Love at first sight.
Did you get that feeling with the two of them?
Yeah.
He was really excited to see her.
Tia.
With Colten.
Ooh.
How do you feel like Chris handled the Tia situation?
I have to re-watch it back.
OK.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, yeah.
I gotta pay attention to that.
So it left a lasting impression.
So what is something that you can really give us?
Give us something juicy, a juicy tease.
It doesn't have to be about you.
A nugget.
We're looking for a nugget.
A kernel, a nugget of what we can look forward
to to come in Paradise.
I think every person on the beach cries a lot.
I think everyone cries.
Did you cry?
I can't tell you that.
I could be lying too.
Joe!
It's all a part of my game.
OK, you guys.
We just got word that Cory is on his way down here,
so we're about to surprise him with Joe.
You ready back there?
I'm ready.
We're going to do this.
We're going to get him good.
You guys we're back and Corey is very important, but he's--
Yay!
We got him in the cube.
--taking some time to be here.
We're glad you're back because we have,
actually, a little gift for you.
OK.
We haven't give a gift yet.
Come on out gift.
Gift, come on out here.
What!
Shut the [BLEEP] up.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, my God.
In the flesh.
Here I am.
Wait.
Now I need to be here for more than 30 seconds.
Oh, [BLEEP].
No.
I can't go now.
Someone tell Ellen it's going to be a minute.
Did you have the best time ever on that show?
Yeah.
It was a lot of fun.
Are you in love?
I can't tell you that.
I know you can't.
We've already tried, Cory.
She's been trying to break me this whole time.
He is an iron vault.
We may or may not follow you on social media.
And so we've seen you with some of the cast members.
OK.
So we've seen you with Bibiana.
OK.
Oh, that's true.
We've seen you with Kendall.
OK.
No, you haven't.
You haven't seen me with Kendall on social media.
Oh, he tried to trick you.
He's good.
I'm telling you.
He's a vault.
If you are not in love or in a whatever situation,
would you consider being the Bachelor?
Of course, yeah.
I mean, I think if I'm not in love, or in a relationship,
or engaged, or whatever, I think everybody would consider it.
And if they say they wouldn't, they're lying.
Practice giving out a rose.
You've got to be joking.
What?
Give me that thing.
[LAUGHTER]
Are you kidding?
I'm so glad we got to do this.
We surprised Cory.
Yay!
Cory--
Thank you to everybody.
- Muah, muah, muah.
We love you.
Comment below to tell us what you think.
Bye, Cory!
Bye!
Good job, Joe.
What do you got in there Joe?
You want some fruit snacks?
Fruit snacks.
Everybody likes apple.
I grabbed them from the dressing room.
Are you going to share?
You want one?
Kind of.
What's your favorite produce?
Pineapple.
Really?
Are you good at catching these in your mouth if I throw it up?
Try it.
OK.
Can I have one too?
Hey.
Three cameras.
Hope we got that.
I'm actually impressed.
