and i am in charge of planning the bachelorette party oh well there you go now this is like a
thing isn't it yeah oh yeah oh you might not be familiar maybe you're familiar with them
but well i've never attended a bachelorette party but i certainly know from the movies
and elsewhere that it's a big deal it's a huge deal it's taken on like a great importance and
i'm a little nervous because the last party that i planned for my little sister did not go very
well that party it was a party 20 years ago yeah and um my sister had is that her first marriage
we don't have much to celebrate once every 20 years we really bring up so so i uh my sister had
gone to visit my grandma for her spring break um in highland falls new york and the last word she
said to me where ellie don't mess up my room great easy she was gone a week the day she got back
my little brother billy my friend katie purcell we thought what a nice thing to plan a welcome
home party for great deal good idea baked some cookies made a card decorated her room so nice
is that the picture we have yes i think you have a picture this is from 20 years ago here this is the
welcome home welcome it was not her birthday we just had that sure you just had it yeah
don't throw anything away never all right so this is gonna be a lovely surprise for your sister she
gets back and here we go what happens so we say oh carrie uh can you help me with some homework
upstairs whatever it is whatever the ruse to get her upstairs and um and and she is not happy uh
about the party because in her eyes we've messed up her in my eyes it's art in her eyes we've
messed up her room so i think you have a picture of her reaction take a look to the party which is
she is not happy she do you know who she reminds me of dave no you're a satan dog i don't know
yeah this there's my boy sully so um
she's going to kill me what will what will i i mean give me the broad
framework of of the bachelorette party what are we thinking about is it is it
a destination kind of party uh it's a it's sort of a the destination is st louis missouri
a lot of people here from missouri a lot of people from missouri tonight
um oh okay oh show me yeah beyond that i can't i i can't tell you much beyond that

great city yeah no of course you're not kidding no i'm not kidding i'm not kidding about a thing like
this that's not yeah uh and what do we know about the guy she's marrying is he okay he thank you for
your concern he's wonderful his name is ben dugan he's a writer he's he's a wonderful gorgeous man
okay well i like the name ben dugan thank you so do i don't you think you can't go wrong
with a guy named ben dugan ben dugan can do no wrong in anyone's eyes i agree with you and now
carrie dugan what's the problem pretty good there yeah is he the kind of guy that would
be uncomfortable if his name was repeated over and over again on television i don't think so
ben dugan if i keep saying ben dugan will this bother him what was it ben dugan no i think he
might be how old is the guy uh oh that's a good i think he's about 32 i should know how tall am i is
ben dugan ben dugan is about six feet tall oh five i don't know how tall are people i don't know i i
that's the question how tall are people how tall are they yeah where god says how tall are they i
don't know now uh this movie i'm watching this movie and i'm thinking this there's something
different about this movie and then i'm finally reading about you and the movie today and it
came together what it is about the movie that i couldn't quite and then it went off like a light
bulb what you couldn't get what yes it was it was because it's not just a movie no it's much more
yes it's it's a it looks like it's going to be a romantic comedy sure yeah but it's like the old
movie airplane version of a romantic comedy thank you very much now it all it all came clear and and
um doubly entertaining now it absolutely because it could have been been just a romantic comedy
that had been fine that have been fine with those people are you kidding me but then it surprises
you yeah does all the trappings much more to it many layers let's run down the cast yourself
me mm-hmm amy poehler amy poehler is there amy yep is there paul rudd paul rudd um uh bill hader bill
hater now you and bill hader spent a great deal of time in a restaurant at a table yes that's
my scene yeah yeah i'm at a table the whole time in fact the reason i can say this is such a good
movie without feeling like i'm bragging is that i'm not in it very much no no no no no no no
well now we keep cutting back to that scene in the restaurant where everything is being revealed yes
now how long did it but it was shot it was one sitting right um the that scene was shot
in one second one sitting how long did it take it took eight hours so that i worked very hard
and um that was my job for no no it didn't oh you're surprised you think that's a long time
to take well i i know i don't uh uh yes yeah i cause once you because once you see it you'll
see i'm in it for two minutes you're like how did that take it now no no i'm wrong i'm wrong
you're in it the perception is that you're in it because you're the thread
you're the thrill story yeah so the perception is that you were there beginning to end
but you're telling me you were only there for a day and probably time off for lunch
there was there was a nice lunch we had time off for you know who stopped by who's that ben dugan
so you're saying ben dugan is the kind of guy that can smell a free lunch a mile away
that's that's the ben dugan i know
you're right on the name of the movie is they came together you're going to enjoy it a great
deal you can see it in theaters june 27th also video on demand ellie great pleasure to have
you here thank you very much good luck with the bachelorette party thank you i would love
