A while back my boyfriend Pete surprised me with tickets to a Bethenny Frankel speaking engagement. He was one of the only men in the room, apart from her husband Jason Hoppy, so he was a total dear for taking me on a date to see her in person since he knows how much I love her insanity.

Fast forward to this past Monday, when Pete and I were entering our apartment after a long evening of wallpaper removal at our new house (!!!). I flopped my purse on the counter only to hear a stream of voicemail beeps coming from inside of it. I wondered who would be calling after 10PM on a Monday and got a little nervous to see a few voice mails and email alerts all around the exact same time. In my head I was freaking out that someone had died, but as soon as I pushed the voicemail play button I heard our friends telling us that we had just been on the season finale of Bethenny Ever After on Bravo. Oh boy. Now Bravo addicts around the world would know that the ginger and I were at the show. Pete’s man cred is definitely lacking now. He’s going to have to eat a lot of hot dogs and pump a lot of iron to make up for this huge hit.

Here’s the first glimpse of Pete and I when Bethenny was entering the stage. I’m sure I was giggling and rambling to him about how her husband and in-laws were sitting across from us and that he should be excited.

About 14 minutes (and 45 seconds, to be exact) into the episode, Pete and I are on the screen for a few seconds, and then again around 15:46 my left boob, Pete’s hand and I make a startling reappearance. I thoroughly enjoy how contemplative Pete looks in the first clip. After seeing this, I like to imagine that he was moved by Bethenny’s inspirational words for women and that he stands in front of the mirror every morning looking into his own eyes while reciting Bethenny affirmations with gusto.

So, if you ever wanted to get a glimpse of my left boob (which Pete kindly named Condoleezza Rice toward the beginning of our relationship), you can catch it the next time Bravo airs a Bethenny marathon. Or, you can watch it on Megavideo if you’re like us (cheap!) and don’t have cable.

Did any of you guys ever get caught on TV for something equally as nerdy?

P.S. Sorry I don’t post much around these parts anymore. It’s hard trying to come up with wedding-related content, but I figured this counts since Bethenny is known for “Bethenny Getting Married” and now “Bethenny Ever After.”
