Bachelor Production, Can We Steal You for a Second?
ABC has officially renewed 'The Bachelor' for its 23rd season & on this episode, we're chatting about whether it's time for a format change after nearly 15 years on-air. The franchise is still incredibly popular, but our take is that the formula for the #TheBachelor specifically is out of touch. Surrendering the fanatic control over contestants & storylines, evolving the show to become more genuine in our #MeToo & social media dominated culture, televising the casting process, more behind-the-scenes outtakes, removing limo entrances & incorporating a voting system which includes the world's most eligible bachelor/ettes are a few of our suggestions...we'd also love to hear from you! Closing out our discussion @ 39:40 we shift gears into a game of '21 questions', topics include: life's purpose, the downside of instant distraction at our fingertips, things we should know but don't & a whole lot more (part 2 coming soon). Shout-out Kendall Long, we still have love for you! #BoatCaptains #ManDay #CantHoldUs

Special Edition: Conversation w/ Adam Gottschalk
Adam Gottschalk understands more than anyone what it feels like to receive a questionable TV edit & on this episode, in addition to discussing life inside the Bachelor bubble, we're examining the keys to being successful in this franchise via the advice Raven & Adam gave Tia (prior to Arie's season). How does Adam make his long-distance relationship work with Raven? & what advice did he give Lauren after Arie called her (at Adam's house) on New Year's Eve? During our conversation, we're exploring these topics while chatting about the role of post-production, the double-date we didn't see during Tia's hometown, his experience during Rachel's season, how contestants feel about spoiler culture, which of the #RoseBoys he's still in-touch with, meeting Raven during Bachelor in Paradise, their go-to (before bed) TV show #ForensicFiles & much more.

S22 E12 ‘After the Final Rose’: Part 2 Finale Recap
In our final recap for Arie's season of #TheBachelor we're chatting about his proposals, the televised breakup with Becca & everything that went down live in-studio. Ultimately, it felt like Arie & Lauren's engagement was overshadowed by the announcement of Becca as 'The Bachelorette' & although Arie completely botched that final day in Peru (rushing into a proposal & breaking Lauren's heart), is it possible that everyone is now exactly where they should be? On this episode, we try to answer this question while discussing the timeline of events, what it takes to thrive in this franchise as a contestant, the importance of controlling storylines, Arie's reconciliation with Lauren, the future cast of BiP, Becca's early front-runners (Lincoln & Ryan), the real reason Jason Mesnick was brought in & much more. Shouts to all our listeners who reached out with your thoughts on the finale, we love you guys! #IKnowWhatHappens #TeamEverybody #RIPDecemPeter #Part2

S22 E11 Week 10: Part 1 Finale Recap
If you were on the fence about proposing, how much would a 'free' Neil Lane engagement ring (worth upwards of $100K) factor into your decision? On this episode, we're providing our overall thoughts on the two-night Bachelor finale while discussing all the events leading up to Arie's premature engagement, our thoughts on when Becca was told she'd be 'The Bachelorette', theories on why/how the televised breakup went down & where production clearly crossed the line. ABC spoiling what could have been the actual most dramatic finale ever is just rude & @ 39:50 we get into our recap of the final episode, chatting about the importance of having your family's approval, Arie's decision making process (the morning of), the mystery surrounding Machu Pichuu, traveling in your thirties & much more.
