The couple shared that although the roasts may have seemed harsh or revealing to social media users, they were simply saying things that have been joked about in the friendship group. "We've known them for many years, and most of them have known each other for a long time too. These are all things that we've joked about with each other for years. Nothing was a surprise to anyone," Rachel added. The roasts included things like, "Let's give it up for Chris and Deja. Deja is smart enough to be a Master of Science but didn't realise right away that her girl cats were actually boys. Chris will jump out of helicopters to fight fires but is terrified of his mother-in-law.".
