D.C. high volume, Batman. The Dark Nights definitive DC comic stories adapted directly for audio for the very first time. Fear, I have to make them afraid. He's got a motorcycle. Get after him or have you shot. You mean blow up the building? From this moment on,

none of you are safe. New episodes every Wednesday, wherever you get your podcasts. I feel like in honor of this episode, we should put a wall between us. What do you think? We should put a wall between us. We should get a lava lamp. We should fall in love.

I mean, I've been in love with you for a long time. It's very true. And then the floor has to get wet? I don't want to even talk about it. I hated that scene. It's so much. Yeah. I mean, I want to talk about it because it's, it, I got so many feelings from it.

And it's just so fucking funny, man. These people are just a riot. Welcome to Love is Blind with the Bros. Love is bros. Love is bros. Bros are blind. Bros. Yeah, we might be blind.

Honestly, we're still in the intro, but after listening to an episode, you guys might actually have less idea what's going on. This is so chaotic. It's going to be great. Good afternoon, bros and shows. I got to have me my bros and shows. Bros and shows. Bros and shows.

I got to have me my bros and shows. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome back to another episode. of Bros and Shows. I am your co-hostile Russell, joined as always by the one and only. Shooter McGuder. What's up, dude? Standard name for a standard show, I guess. Never in my life. I've seen clips. I thought I knew what I was getting into. I had no idea. And as the note taker, as the resident note taker, fuck me, I guess, because this is impossible.

It's impossible to take notes on. It's sort of going to be in the same realm as us just kind of talking about like a dancing with the stars. We're just going to talk about our feelings and we're going to connect on a deeper level. And we're going to try to do this two episodes at a time. So every episode we drop will be like, for example, this is episode one and two of love is blind. It's releasing when the show releases. We got the screeners for this one. So we got ahead of it.

And by ahead of it, we watched it the day before. We've had the screener for a month. It sure comes out of midnight tonight, and we've just been talking about doing it for so long. I also, I'm an idiot. I always forget that rhyme of, and it's not really a rhyme, but to keep the amount of days in a month straight, I thought there was 31 days in September. So I went into work today. It's the end of the quarter.

Fuck me. 30 days past September, April, June, and November. Yeah, September is literally the first one in that. There you go. Yeah. I don't even know how I know that. Yeah, I think it's just ingrained in our brains when we're born. Apparently.

Instinct. something to do with a Mayan calendar, you know? Well, if we're going to bring up the Mayan calendar, technically we could all be in limbo right now. We are in limbo. You know, 2012 of the world. This show actually convinced me that we're in limbo. Dude, I did take notes on my laptop. So if you're watching on YouTube, you'll see my laptop on my lap in the new studio.

I thought about having my laptop just so I could figure out who's who. It's tough because, so there's 32 contestants. We are in, let's set the scene. We're in Denver. All right. Denver, Colorado. We got 32 hopefuls, and the way that this show works, if you're like me, you get married in 10 days, right? You get engaged within 10 days.

And then you get married at a month later. So, and I could be just terribly wrong about this. And look, if you have your thoughts at home that maybe we use Chat GPT to do things, we can't. Nope. Because this show's not even out yet. There's no reviews. Chat GPT doesn't even have the screeners. We got the screeners.

Yeah, I suck at Chat GPT. Yeah, suck at everyone else. I don't know. That's just kind of the state of mind that I'm in right now. But from my understanding, again, could be very wrong, you get 10 days in the pods or you can only see your other, you know, the men's quad or the quads, the men's quad later. The men's quarters and the women's quarters. And that's pretty much the extent of the people that you can actually see. Now, obviously, you can talk to everybody as everybody knows. Within that 10 days, you have to get engaged.

If you don't get engaged, smell you later. Yep. you go home now the people that get engaged then have another period where they do have to live together a month so yes so then love is blind slash Netflix slash Nick Lechay purchase a series of condos that all look exactly the same oh wait wait wait wait wait I remember it's sort of like 90 day fiancee it actually kind of happened no they did that in a different one it's not love is blind but was the other one that Nick Lechay did not the Netflix show no no no it was a It was like, you got, everybody came to the show as a couple, but then the couple split and they all started intermingling and dating.

And then you had to live with, it was a similar thing where they had condos for each of them. So far, you're just explaining Temptation Island and then. It's not. It was like in a, fuck, what was that show? It was literally like these two couples show up. It was a bunch of couples. Then they're broken up the minute that they get there and they have to mingle at this first. party and then they like certain people, they start like mingling more, and then they pick

somebody. And if you like somebody and you match, they move them into like a little condo for an extended period of time. Yeah, I don't remember that one. We didn't cover it. We didn't cover it. It's probably just something. Because like, we didn't cover Temptation Island, but I watched the shit out of that. That was just another weird Netflix show. And Netflix shows are really tough for us to do anyway because they dropped them all. This is at least getting dropped in batches. So six episodes come out today while you're listening to this. And then another three next week next Wednesday. a following.

And then three the following week and then one at the end. Okay, we can do that. Did my math correctly, that should be 15, maybe 12. I don't know. I have a bit. At any rate, they do get a month to live together, see how it goes. No, I've seen this go very poorly before. I've seen the first look go very poorly, which is incredibly funny.

I'm nervous for that. You're nervous for that? It's one of the best moments. There will inevitably be one where it's like, oh, fuck. It's so mean, though. It is mean, but like the whole. point of this show is can a connection without seeing each other really work and sometimes it flat out doesn't i which i could see both but like i do believe that there is a level of like

you have to be attracted to the person that you're with i think that every woman on this show is beautiful okay i think that every dude on this show is a handsome fellow there's a lid for every pot that's what my mother-in-law says so you just got to find that person i think it's i actually i agree with you looks wise yeah i just think that like a person you're a person personality, some of these people suck. Totally, 100%. Don't get me started about Sparkle Megan, which is... Sparkle Megan drove me up a fucking wall.

Sparkle Megan, is that her real nickname or is that a test? No chance. That is the dumb... The whole thing that she does is a test. You realize that she was lying about her job because she's so afraid that people are going to, like, come after her for her money? No, she didn't. She started off by saying she was, like, in the tech industry, then she went to real estate and then she went to something else.

She started her own business. She started her own business, yeah, but she kept making... things up as she went along. Oh, I didn't see that. She's, like, really in her own head about, like, people are only going to use me for my money. But how much money does she have? The funny thing about Sparkle Megan, and it's not her nickname. Sparkle Megan is that the dude that she's probably going to end up with is that douchebag Mike.

Who you know is a douchebag. He's 37 years old. He's got a sauna in a hot tub his house. That's the real estate investor, right? Yeah, that guy sucks, and she's drawn to him for whatever reason. He's drawn to him, and then, like, the complete opposite end of the spectrum. Don't get me wrong. Is it Jordan?

Yeah, Jordan. Who was like a branch manager, which there's nothing wrong with that. But when you say that to me, it's like a five-year-old son. He got a five-year-old kid. He works like a middle-of-the-road job. Like, absolutely nothing wrong. He's making a living. He's taking care of his kids.

Fucking awesome. Good for him. That doesn't track for me. And she seems to be somebody that needs a mic. She's kind of annoying, yeah, because she does seem like she needs a mic. She clearly cares about money. We just jumped right to fuck into this. And I love it.

Who cares? There was another dude, and I can't remember. exactly what is. I'll look it up in a sec. I'll explain him to me, I'll guess. He was the third option. She has three options. So she had Jordan. Jordan, Patrick.

No, Patrick is with Casey and Anna. Anna. Was it Joe? No. Joe is really excited about also Anna. Yeah, Joe was also Anna. It's Joe. Joe was also Anna. Okay, okay, okay. Jordan. God damn it. Mike. Oh, Nick.

Nick was the random third. guy who was just like he was goofy he was the one who was saying that uh on the ski lift he's got martinis in his pocket yeah and nick is also into anna yes yeah okay so there's joe's into anna this is where it's gonna get weird jo's the one who's into anna and i only remember that because at the end of the second episode is when patrick comes back and he's like i i don't know what to do right right right it's not even there okay and we'll get into that because that is fucking hilarious um but yeah so sparkle megan what makes you so great so I feel like because she's successful she has somehow equated that into a personality trait

which I obviously you know that it has something to do with your personality or tenacity or drive of those things yeah but when you make that your only personality trait one you're afraid that guys are going to be intimidated as you said yes by coming in with like the money thing it's not a great way to intro to like soften the blow no I do believe that, you know, she's a strong independent woman. I think that's great. And I also think that you need to test the waters a little bit and kind of push and see how they're going to react. I thought it was interesting when she said, you know, although I have this business that I'm starting and the company that I worked with got sold, so I had some wiggle room to kind of do

my own thing. But I still want to have like a dude provide for me. So she kind of wants both sides of the spectrum, which is fine. I can't get a real read on Sparkle, Megan, because I feel like everything she's doing is a test. Yeah, it is. And I feel like the way that these shows generally go, we know already, if you don't match up at the end of the 10 days, see you later. Yep. The fact that they're showing her so much, she's going to get tied up at some point.

I would imagine. Even though, like, everything in Mimi is telling me that she's going to just be super picky and just never end up picking anybody and just go home. Yeah. I don't see that happening just because of how much screen time she's getting. I think also, I just looked it up, I think that the third person was actually Blake. And that's the crossover. I just found it.

It's Mike, Blake, and Jordan. Yep, Mike Blake and Jordan. Mike is the 37-year-old douchebag. No, Mike is the medical sales 41-year-old. What? Yeah. Or is it Mike. Is there a Michael's Joe?

There's two mics. Yeah, there's a Michael is the medical sales. This is fucking impossible. This is going to be impossible for these couple episodes. It's going to be kind of funny because we're just going to stare at each other blankly when we say something like, I don't know what the hell you're talking about. No, Mike is the douchebag, 37-year-old real estate developer who's got a hot tub. than a sauna. He does this. Oh, no. And then Michael is the one that does

smores with Anna later. He is the older gentleman. He's 41 years old. Yeah, I don't remember Michael at all. Here's the problem with white dudes. They all look the same. Especially these white dudes. These are some very vanilla fucking white dudes. We're in Denver. That's a, wow. This is actually like a really, like, Philly's going to hit. Philly's going to be so great. Like the white dudes in Philly, they might look the same, but they are very, very different. It depends on what neighborhood there for. From, like what region they're from. Delco people in there.

But if there's delco people. There's got to be delco people. You have to represent. But when you go to Denver, and this is probably what Patrick was saying. Like, Patrick's like, yeah, I was the only Asian growing up. I had this and that. It's like, good for you, honestly. Like, I know you went through shit because they probably bullied you.

But like, those dudes all look the same. They're all dorks. They sound the same, too. Yeah. They all go hiking. What else do you do in Denver? I think smoke weed, go hiking. You're not going to a Rockies game.

And no one goes to Rocky's games. But here's how we're going to hone this in. I know it's been a little chaotic. Here's how we're going to try to hone it in. Let's focus on one person and then we're going to focus on the couples that really hit it off. Why don't we have to pick either one girl or one guy? Well, we did sparkle Megan. So let's just keep going with the girls then maybe.

Because at the end of the two episodes, and we are just joining these bad boys together, Who cares? Megan's still not coupled up. Or, you know, Love Island terms, but she's not coupled up. And I don't know where that's going to end up. My genuine guess is that she's going to end up with Mike because something's drawing her to him. It's probably that she's dated douchebags in the past, and that's going to happen. And the money, yeah.

Yeah, I think that she can tell that he's got some cash in there. I don't think she's a gold digger. That's not what I'm saying. I just think that, you know, they make sense. You know what she did? And she said, and that's why it makes so much sense. She used the old, I just want to find somebody to build. an empire with.

There you go. Like, shut Jordan up. No, it's not Jordan. And Jordan, you don't deserve that. No, Jordan's a sweet man. You find someone else. Yes. And he's covered in task.

She's like, I think I got you pegged like who you are. He's like, I bet you don't. And I was like, there's no fucking chance she knows what you look like, now. He's got his whole legs tatted up, his arms tatted up. He's just a loving father. I will give Megan props. She handled the Lucas situation well. Like she didn't, like, freak her out, didn't cause her to panic or anything.

She was supportive through the whole thing. And obviously, Jordan misses his kid. I wish we saw more emotions like this about missing your child on other shows that we've watched, such as Love Island, where you leave your kid for a month. And you don't have any emotion. It's funny, too, because I was thinking that immediately when he starts bringing it up and he's sitting there in a confessional talking about his kid. And I think the producer said, like, I love that. Or one of the girls that he was talking to said, I love that. Like, bring that up.

I want to know more about you. I want to understand what's going on. Good for you for sharing that. Good for you leading with that. I thought of Huda immediately. I'm like fucking Huda again. No matter what I do, I can't get away from that woman. But yeah, so let's migrate to another girl.

Okay, Casey. You want to go to Casey? Okay, we can go to Casey. I like Casey. I think Casey seems really cool. God, I am going to really have a hard time keeping everything straight. You do at least have who she's coupling. So Casey, makeup artist, with a cat.

Jordan also has cats and five tattoos of cats. Jordan and Casey makes sense to me. That vibe fits. I can agree with that. You know what I mean? Like they both seem pretty down to earth, pretty mellow. I also like Casey and Patrick. They kind of hit it off a little bit later.

Patrick might just be demoralized. Patrick's going to be smoked after second episode. We'll try not to jump ahead too far on that one. We might have to reveal it. We can't, I guess. Yeah, we can't really tell you what happens. We'll get there in a little bit. But anyway

Casey's big thing is that she dated like her high school sweetheart for like the longest time and every relationship that she's had has ended due to infidelity not on her part but on the other one's part. She tells some story about she met a guy on she followed him on TikTok. She was talking to Patrick at this point.

She's like, yeah, I thought he was cute. Followed him on TikTok, followed him on Instagram. We actually ended up dating. It was 100% surface level obviously. so I'm excited to do this whole love is blind thing. But what I like about Casey is that she just seems pretty down to earth. She's not like over the top with anything. And she seems to be able to connect with multiple people without making them feel stupid.

Right. And I'm into that. Okay. I've got reservations about Casey. Now, I do think that that conversation with Patrick was awkward. But that dramatic pause from both of them about revealing that he was Asian was wild to me. for him for him i i get it because he goes to that whole speech about how you know he his whole life he's been insecure because people say stupid shit like oh you're hot for an asian which is a

crazy thing to say to a person i can't imagine that coming out of somebody's mouth but i think that was his reservation was i don't want to tell you my ethnicity because it's been this weird thing with me in my whole life where you know i'm the asian guy and for whatever reason that knocks me down a peg in some people yeah and i think it's kind of tough too because obviously a lot of like things you're saying, you keep talking about your upbringing and you keep referring to the fact that your parents lived in a different country and moved here. And you were, you know, looked at differently. You do have to tell her at some point. I feel like the way that he finally got there was bizarre. He was like digging through his notes. And I was, I was wondering if he was trying to

figure out if he already told her. I don't know. I was wondering if maybe it was like us doing this show right now. We can't keep shit straight. Maybe when you're there, you can't keep anything straight too. He's like, I told you. Oh, shit. I told Anna. Damn it. I think, well, he didn't tell Anna. Anna, Anna and Patrick, I think, through context clues of what they were discussing, they have similar stories. Yes. So I think even Anna says that later, she's like, I think we both derived that we're both Asian. Yeah.

Which with Casey, again, I get it. I understand why he's hesitant to tell her because he doesn't want to change her perspective, which again is a bummer that that's even a thing. But for Casey, I thought she did well with the whole thing. I was awkward. And maybe that's part of the show because it's all behind the wall. I think what I'm trouble, like I'm really having trouble grasping is they're all the same level of crazy. Yeah.

And I feel like you just have to kind of throw that out because when she says things like, you know, I was cheated on in every single one of my relationships. There was always a hotter blonde. There was always this, always that. That made me sad. So now I'm going to love is blind to get engaged within 10 days without knowing who the person is.

I'm like, it still could happen. There could still be a hotter blonde somewhere. I don't know, Casey. But she's playing into the idea of the game, I think, where it's like everything has been based off of looks and all of my traumas have come from looks because of there being a hotter blonde. There's always somebody on Instagram, whatever.

Right. This eliminates that at least, at least that one thing. eliminates it from the equation. Yeah, okay. Kind of. Because it's not going to be, she might lose out on a guy, but it's not going to be because he saw a hotter blonde.

There. Okay. Who do you see Casey ending up with? Jordan. I don't see Patrick anymore. I don't know. That's going to, that's going to depend on some things that we can discuss. Yeah.

I, Jordan. I could see Jordan working out with her. Who's the guy later? Nick, that guy, I don't think anybody should. A bit of a wild card. I think he's just, like, comedic relief, and I don't think he's going to do anything. But he doesn't...

Or he's going to end up with, like, Annie, who we saw for a split second. Oh, yeah, I remember that. Well, let's keep going, because we're going to get stuck on this. We are going to get stuck on people. Let's talk about Edmund and Calabria. Okay.

Because, I mean, out of the gate, Edmund vibes are high. Yeah. Interesting character, for sure. And they get into it immediate... This was the hard part for me, was timelines, because obviously we're going to talk about Anton and Allie shortly, and that's like the big one for episode one.

But the timelines are confusing, because I'm like, all right, so I understand that there's a level to this, that you're 100% letting your guard down. You're under the impression, like, I could leave here in 10 days engaged. So we're not going to skip around anything. We're just going to dive right in. Edmund dives head first. What I was not expecting was it to be responsible. reciprocated.

No, not at all, honestly. I did not see Calabria doing that. I thought it was going to be like, all right, like, it seemed to me that it was the first time they were talking. That's what I thought, but that's what I'm really tough to do. And I don't, like, maybe their first interaction was like kind of, you know, ho-hum, not a lot happened. So they just completely cut that.

And then they put this in here as like their second. I want to see the awkward first. So do I. I want to see more of the awkward first conversations because that really gets me going. these interactions seem crazy because he breaks down trauma dumps and cries. Well, I didn't mind that part of it. Oh, yeah, I know you wouldn't mind that. But again, this is my problem.

I do need to understand that all these people are crazy. Well, you're doing a show where you could get engaged in 10 days. Correct. So they're all nuts. So this is part for the course. Yes. I should look at this like, okay, that's kind of nice that he did that. Well, you have to let the walls down.

Edmund let all of the walls down. And he does have a main wall. You can't see anything. But he does have a very interesting backstory. He comes from foster care. He talks about how his fifth grade teacher saved his life. And that's what made him want to get into substitute teaching. He helps out with organizations that help kids in need, things like that.

She works in, I believe, with Section 8 housing. Or she wants to get into that. But she also works a lot of children's groups and things like that. So they have that big connection, which I really like. What I like about these, I actually really enjoyed Edmund and Galeria. they fed off of each other really well like he's wild and she just kept he's a calming presence yeah she just kept referring to him as like her loud boyfriend essentially that's where i all right this is where the the shit gets weird for me okay

and i get it's part of it but the quick shifts that you have because obviously like you see them start to hit it off like they got it's almost like the sims where you like see the meter of like friendship to love you know what i'm saying and when they get to that point there's always seemingly, by always, I mean, the two episodes I've watched, there's a turning point with one word or sentence where it shifts into something else. We saw it with Anton and Allie where he calls her baby for the first time. She's like, ooh, say that again. He's like, oh, you like that baby? That's the other thing is like these people are starved for sex. Oh yeah, like so horny. Like the whole wet thing that happened. Was that Annie? That was, uh, that was Nick and Annie. Yeah,

Nick and Annie. Yeah, that was awkward. That's what happens, though. You get to this certain point where, like, they're having conversations. You're asking the big questions. How are we going to live together? What do you see in your future? What do you like to do on Sundays?

Blah, blah, blah, all the stuff to see if you match up. Then there's this weird moment where somebody, and you know they're trying to, like, they're taking that step. It's like, let me throw this out there. I've yet to see it turned out. When somebody throws something out there, either make it sexual or take that turn towards being more intimate and maybe moving this forward. It seems like everybody bites.

I want to see the one where someone's like, yeah, baby. It's like, don't fucking call me, baby. I've known you for a day. Yeah, I do really want to see that. But again, I do think that this is, it's almost like, it's going to be philosophical, probably. But who knew it for this episode? No Straguter.

It's almost as if their brains are having a hard time adapting to the fact that they can't see each other. so it's making them want to talk about sex more. Okay. Because they can't compute the sexuality that they're going to feel, the sexual chemistry. You can't eye fuck each other. You can't say, ooh, that would be great.

So you have to talk about it more. This tracks, actually. I think you might actually be it. Yeah, because you're right. Like, every single time, like even I think it was Mike that threw it out to Sparkle Megan talking about his sauna. He's like, yeah, it's going to get a little hotter and heavier in there too. And it's like gross.

She started. She goes, you got room for two. he's a damn right I do nice and steamy and you're like ah yeah no don't want to hear dirty talk period let alone with the lights on with a wall between yeah no not at all um so yeah i think there's a lot of that going around yeah yeah which it's funny like those scenes are the nick and any one i didn't like i just thought that was like one it went too long like it was a it was okay at first no it wasn't because it's not if you're gonna do this okay like be inventive yeah creative with what you're saying don't just take the the low hanging fruit of the water spilled now

the carpet's wet? Yeah. And then make a joke, what gets drier and wetter? The carpet, what? It was like a derivation of... I'm not about that now.

Fuck. Yeah. It was a thousand percent, by the way, derived from the riddle. What gets wet as it dries? A towel. That's what he was doing. And then he just made it weird

and gross and sexual. Well, I mean, I'm not going to break it down to it's like nuts and bolts, but there's multiple sexual references in there. You could even argue the carpet is one, which is unfortunate. And as, let's just go to that scene. Oh, no, he did reference the carpet.

What are you talking about? He was referring to it as her carpet. He initially just talked about the carpet. He then, about two seconds later, said, your carpet. Yeah. Which I didn't like it all. Didn't care for that. But then I couldn't tell what her vibe was.

I don't want to get to them yet. I want to finish up with Edmund and Calabria because they're seemingly headed straight for engagement. Yeah, we're not seeing them talk to anybody else. No. Well, they, in episode. two have walled each other off, no one intended. They're like, all right, this is it. I don't want any more connections.

I want to get to know my man more. And there is something beautiful about this process where she's like, I'm getting to know how to love you. Not through your looks, but like how I, what you need for me. I was like, that there is something kind of cool about this. What's, it would be very interesting to see is that first look is going to be fun. Because he's going to do something, goofy as shit. That's where I, he's going to like Naruto run to her or some.

shit and she's probably going to love it. She's going to laugh at it. And if she doesn't, it's going to be sad and awkward. Because here's what needs to happen. He's going to give a full yippie, by the way. He needs to tell her, by the way, when I was just with the

boys, I was kissing the floor, because I haven't kissed anything in a while. And then I was spinning 360s on my butt. It's fine. Do you, boo-boo? But at the same time, those are the quirks, okay, that need to be known before you get into a relationship. If she get, if she thinks this guy is this emotionally intelligent, vulnerable human being, which

he is, I mean, he spilled all the tea, got emotional with her, I'm not taking that away from him in any means. But she also has to know, like, oh, if we're out with friends, are you going to do 360s on your ass cheeks? Because that might be weird for me. Yeah, he is. Definitely going to do that. And look, they'll get there probably when they live together because they're definitely hurling towards engagement. I guess that's true. Um, for time. Weird caveat to this show. the people who maybe get engaged or don't get engaged

if you get engaged you don't get to have your phone still for another couple of weeks do they watch these and they're like that's who the fuck I was talking to?

I don't know I wonder if they do I mean the ones that bounce like the ones that leave versus so say Sparkle Megan ends up with let's say she goes with Mike but she was kind of into Jordan

and Sparkle Megan goes home because she doesn't get to rekindle with anybody or whatever, Jordan moves on. And then Jordan gets out because, you know, it just doesn't work out. They don't end up getting married. He goes on Instagram. He finds Sparkle Megan.

And he goes, ah, shit, that's who I was talking to. Oh, yeah, I'm sure that happened. That's pretty fun. That definitely happens. We need cameras. I want to know more so to test this theory of love is blind. When that happens, if somebody is madly in love with the person behind the wall, they get engaged, they make it through the living period, they get married, and then they go

on Instagram and somebody else they had a connection with, they open up their Way hotter. Smoking hot, dude. And she's like, fuck, I hate my guy now. I want this guy. Yeah, I should have went with that guy. There was, I remember there was a controversy last year. I forget what they were.

Maybe Tennessee. I think they were in Nashville last year. I don't really remember. But somebody put, no, Minneapolis, sorry. Weird. They were in Minneapolis. Same thing. And apparently, it's just such a small, it's a lot like Philly.

It's just such a small city that, like, everybody knows everybody. The one girl kind of put. together that she knew who she was talking to because it was a guy who followed her and then unfollowed her on Instagram. Oh, see, that was my other question. Like, how do they know who do they know? They're all in the same age group and it's a small city. And if you're single for that long, you're probably like on dating apps and bopping around

and doing whatever. You probably have run into one or two of the other people that are here. That's probably why they overloaded it with vanilla white dudes because it's hard to decipher between. That's a really good point. Yeah. Yeah. We're going to pump this show full of the same haircut-looking assholes and no one's going to...

Some of them have tattoos. Some of them don't. Yep. It's up to you to figure out who's who. Yeah. It's just, it's such a funny little concept, a little experiment. Anyway, who should we move on to next? I guess we can dive fully into the fucking Nick and Annie situation.

Oh, I think we've said enough about their wetness, but, um... Well, no, we didn't because it goes further. And, like, you can tell this guy who wants to come off as quirky. By the way, he traded... Bitcoin for RuneScape Gold, which is like an old computer game that we played back in high school. I think it's still up and running. So he traded arguably $130,000 for a dollar, maybe? That sucks.

And then he's, look, I don't shoot on anyone for being quirky. You know that. Live your life, be who you got to be, all about it, whatever. I don't like when you know you come off as the quirky guy and you know people just think, oh, he's kind of weird. So then you push the boundaries intentionally, such as in this scene where he makes the carpet being wet joke four fucking times. And then goes, if you had to ask me a question, like, what's my favorite wish? You'd be like to add one in. Stop talking about your dick.

Yeah. This is the problem with people like this. And this is why they go on shows like this because they don't have to do it face to face. Right. And they're the type of person that once they get you to laugh once, they just don't stop. Correct. That's what he was doing the whole time. And she kept laughing.

I hated it. I know. She's laughing. You're so funny. He's like, aha, chode. Yeah. What? Shouting out random words.

Shut up, dude. Yeah. And she's eating it up. Self-deprecating dick jokes apparently hit pretty hard in this show. Maybe because it's behind the wall. Yeah, it's just behind the... Now she's wondering. Like, is it actually a chode?

Look, there's something to be said about that method where it's like, now she's intrigued. But intrigued for the right reasons? Ah. I just, like, he's just gross. Nick's gross. I don't like Nick. I don't think he's gross. I just think he's probably annoying as fuck.

I think he's just. he's annoying and a little sexual deviant. That's what I think. I think that there's something to be said about the mentality of people on this show, though. I think they're all sexual deviants. Do you think they're all... They all yearned and touch.

The one dude was kissing the goddamn ground. Yeah, Edmund was kissing the ground. And again, timelines, but I'm assuming he was there for about four days. And you can't tell me that dude just like smooch some girl last weekends. Like, he wouldn't be on the show.

All right, let's get to Anton and Alley. Let's get to Anton and Alley, who hit it off right out of the gate. Anton, what is he? do? I don't know. Got me, man. Well, regardless. In Brooklyn. Yeah, hold on all I got. He's in Brooklyn? Why is he doing it?

He grew up in Brooklyn. Oh, I was going to say, why is he in Denver then? Grew up in Brooklyn. He decided to go by Anton because people close to him call him Anton, but everybody else calls him Tony. And then his one friend said, hey man, before you go on the show, pretty serious, go by Anton, because you want your future wife to call you Anton. he's in transportation what a fucking story yeah wild and thanks for the five minutes of your of your name but that's the other part like they get

also anton's a normal name i'm sorry but like great name it is there is nothing wrong with anton as a name and he made it sound like it was something so hard to pronounce for the american accent what are you talking about yeah i don't uh he's in transportation and logistics he's 29 Allie is a nurse, also 29. She also changed her name from, I forget what, Ali, or something like that. Something like that. She's from Brazil, yeah. And, you know, people would mispronounce her name, make fun of her, so she's like I just decided

to go by Allie instead, but they connect. What are the odds of that, by the way? They connect over that. Yeah. You know, so that's the first thing that, like, clicks. All right, so I'm going to break this one down. Allie goes into it saying, I'm so tired of being the person in a relationship that I feel like I have to constantly motivate my significant other to do more, do what they have to do.

I don't think he really convinced her that he's that person that doesn't need motivation. I didn't hear anything that really convinced me. She just fell in love immediately. She was ready to go. And she seemed when she's talking to the girls, and before she goes in, she's interconfessional, she seems like she's going to be not closed off, but like very picky. That's what I thought. She grabbed the first guy that she started talking to and just ran to the altar.

There's something about his voice, dude. Something about his voice. But the best part of this whole thing, like you watch them talk for hours again, that's where I got confused by the timeline. I guess they accelerate certain. You can see them change clothes, yeah. So I didn't notice that clearly. But you watch this whole thing over the course of, who knows,

we don't know if it's four days, seven days, ten days. I'm assuming somewhere between four and seven, right? There are vampires out there. They're beside you in the darkness, but what people don't understand is that, They're not monsters. They're just going to work, living there on lives. But we are a dying breed.

Those who came before me, they are fearful and are not content to sit back and just disappear. And they'll do anything to fix that. From the creators of Parkdale Haunt comes Woodbine, a podcast about monsters, dreams, and changes, those you want, and those you never saw coming.

about Good Morning Night Vale. Welcome to Nightvail's official recap show and unofficial best friend food podcast. Join me, Meg Bashwinner and fellow tri-hosts, Hal Lublin and Symphony Sanders, as we dissect all of the cool, squishy, and slimy bits of every episode of Welcome to Night Vale. Come for the insightful and hilarious commentary and stay for all of the weird and wild behind-the-scenes stories. Good morning, Night Vale, with new episodes every other Thursday. Get it where every get your podcasts. Yes. Even there. They clearly hit it off. Anton proposes after she says, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. I think he says, which is crazy that his response is, I really appreciate you saying that. I'm like, damn. Then he goes, yeah, I didn't think

he was going to say I love you afterwards. He proposes that. I would have gotten the ick. What do you mean you love me? Yeah. I don't know anything about me. You haven't even seen my face. That would be ludicrous. My favorite. Because obviously they get engaged. They do the first. look my favorite thing was this man needs his glasses like he actually these are not performative male glasses these are real glasses for whatever reason he

I'm sure he was nervous as shit when that door opens but he has his glasses on and he takes him off puts him back up and then he ends up putting them on his head which is the worst thing you could do as far as like a first look and then he can't even see her he squints so hard as soon as the door and then he goes right back down in the glasses like dude the best part of that

the first look she is quite clearly the hottest girl that he has ever been with in his entire life because he is jaw on the floor and she's gorgeous don't get me wrong

and he's definitely out kicking his coverage here but he is like oh fuck yeah like are you kidding me I won I won love is blind and you would think

that when they have their first interaction it would be like that was the most awkward fucking first kiss I've ever seen he went in for a real kiss and then she kissed him on the cheek Well, not that part, when they actually smooch, smooch, he seemed uncomfortable. I think he's just like, wow, I can't believe this is happening.

Then they go sit on the couch, okay? She needs to run from this dude. Fucking so fast, because they're sipping on champagne. And I got another reason in a little bit why she needs to run. They're sipping on champagne. She clearly, I believe that she's in love with him. I think so, yeah. I think she's head over heels.

I don't think he's in love with her. I think he thinks she's hot. I there's something about the way that he did it that made me think when he saw her he was like fuck like if she's this hot were any of the other ones this hot Maybe I could have had, because I didn't really think there was much of a connection. They just ended up saying, I love you within a day, it seemed. That's, yeah, the timeline again skewed. Now, obviously, they're going to, like, kind of spread apart who gets engaged. Now, this could have very well been, like, day nine, but they just figured,

there's no substance here. There's nothing to really work through. Let's just give you half of the episode is going to be about them, and then they're going to get engaged at the end. Yeah, and a little sprinkle of sparkle of Megan in there. Yeah. But when they're sitting on the couch, she's sipping some bubbly. You know, they're excited.

She's, like, leaning into him. He's sitting really far away on the couch. And I do think that I'm sure it's a little awkward. It's the first time to see somebody. Then you're engaged. Fucking, what a crazy sentence. But she's at the point where she's comfortable. So she's like, oh, I got to burp.

Of course you do. You're drinking champagne. You're excited. That makes a lot of sense to me. I don't think he was kidding. I think he was half kidding, half like, that's gross. I don't want my girl to burp. That's a problem for me.

There's also a lot of talk about gender roles in this. I know. We really care for that. I didn't like the gender... I didn't like anybody's real take on this either. No. I think it was Sparkle Megan that was like, I believe in a little bit more traditional gender roles.

I beg you for the opposite. Which I actually thought was interesting. I'm not condoning either. No, I don't really give a shit what you do, but like the conversations about the gender roles was weird. But again, I think in this setting where it's like, okay, we're going to be engaged in 10 days. Like, what's our home life look like?

For example, if you have a very strong independent woman, it's like, I don't want to be the fucking homemaker. So I do wonder if, they were told to like stay away from politics this time because i think the last one they like they would open up with who did you vote for and i think that got a lot of backlash online for various reasons depending on what their answer was of course so i wonder if maybe this time they're like all right we're going to tone that down you can't just plainly ask who you voted for we're just going to say uh here's a good talking point gender roles um yeah so i don't really know but um

Yeah, very interesting situation. It was. Now, these people are weird. Back to Anton and Allie, the second part that I was watching, so, you know, they say their goodbyes, they smooch. It gets more comfortable, you can tell. Yeah. Whatever. They go to leave.

Okay, cool. They go to the respective sides. She turns around and stares at him. Of course. That's your new fiance. He does not turn around, fills up his champagne flute to the top, and then he's like, trying to sip out. Turn around. to look at your fiance, dickhead?

What's going on? Yeah. What are you doing? The little things, the ick thing, the awkward first kiss, him not turning around to look at. No, if you're engaged, bro. No, I have a completely sideways question. Oh, okay.

What's up? As a recovering alcoholic. If you see a bottle of champagne sitting over there that still has a good amount left. I'm going to stare at the champagne. To my knowledge. We don't know. First alcoholic joke for love is blind. Yeah, but like it, I was trying to figure out the alcohol situation because Love Island was so weird with it.

They can only have like two a night or whatever it might be. I don't know what the rule is here, but I should be no holds barred. It should be honestly. I know there's like liabilities, but there's not really because like you're not going to, you know, they can't interact. They might get some shit pop off with the dudes being drunken morons, but like have security there. Let the, I would much rather see like four normal dates and then they get shit faced and you have to talk to. each other ham that would rock that would be great by the way just as important as having sex is seeing how you're significant other drinks 1,000% how are you Colorado pass some joys around

that's fine see what happens an edible oh edible episode an edible would hit that would be great but you need to know those conversations would be so funny they would be phenomenal because they think they're being so deep and they would be talking about like caterpillars but I think that's an important facet of somebody you're going to spend your life with how are you on under substances. Do you want to talk about caterpillars? It seems like that was a little. I just,

I was thinking like, what would be pointed. Well, I was going to say carpet. And then I was like, I don't talk about carpet. Oh, no.

Yeah. I just thought of a C word. Ruin the carpet for me forever. So I just, I went from carpet to caterpillars. Hardwood guy. Oh, Bob.

I can't escape it. There's nothing I could do. Also, by the way, by the way, Nick, if you were funny and smart, make a hardwood joke.

Not a chose joke. It's funny. You've got wet carpet over there because I've got hardwood on my side. Exactly. Bang. Easy. Instead, you go for the Cho joke, which we'll see how it works out for you. Apparently well. Apparently well.

I don't understand this. People are weird. They receive weird things. I don't know what's going on. Yeah, this was an interesting watch for me because I was just like my brain's trying to wrap my head around. One, how we're going to cover it, which I think this is absolutely perfect. This is matching the chaos on the show. Yeah. My brain

wrapping around, like, all right, what's wrong with you? Like, why are you here? What led you here? And honestly, my brain does the same thing with it being in Philadelphia. And I saw a lot of people on Instagram that I haven't seen in years or I met like once or twice posting. I can't wait to try out for love is blind. How do we get my application? And I'm like, I know what's wrong with you. That's the thing. I know personally what's wrong with you. And like and just apply that to everybody else. Yeah. Because you know damn well. We're going to see multiple people that we have either come into contact with, our friends. of a friend like and you're like holy shit he's on the show of course he's going to be by the way he's fucking racist get out of there yeah this is going to be I actually do wonder because this is the type of show where because we're making fun of everybody and I've said four times that these people are fucking nuts this is definitely like a love hotel type of show where one of these people's going to reach out to us and be like

what's your problem with us yeah without a doubt so I will respond to the DM but I will say in love our love hotel what was his name James. James was a good sport. He was weird a shit about it. He probably still listens to us, honestly. It seemed like he enjoyed us. James, you're listening.

He said something about a different show that we were covering, so I think he does. If you're listening to us, dude, give us another shout out. We'll respect. He did. He was great, yeah. It was funny, and he took it in stride. It was still, you know, a James response, but it was funny. But anyway, with the Philly one, because we're obviously going to cover that,

we'll more than likely be making fun of people we know, which is going to be great. Yeah, and we'll do a good job of masking who we know. We'll make sure that you don't know which ones we know. I don't want to docks anybody. At the same time, that's going to be a blast. Now, to finish this off, we got to get to Patrick and Anna. Yeah. All right.

And Blake. And Blake. Right. And Blake. So Patrick has had a journey. I actually like Patrick. Yeah. He seems the most normal.

He got a lot of play in the first two episodes. He did. We did. And I think that's a building for this probably. Now we know why, for sure. But Patrick seems like the most normal. He seems like a dude that's just, I don't know. didn't have a lot of luck in the dating pool

and he's like, fuck it, I'm going to try that. He's the only one that I've seen that I can actually chalk up to potentially being like, you know what, fuck it, I'm just going to try this. Yeah. The rest of the minds. That actually makes a ton of sense. Yeah.

The way that he was coming about made it seem like this was not like a last ditch effort, but it was like this is something different. Yes. Which I do think there is some charm in that. Now, obviously you have to be engaged with in 10 days, which I think is fucking ridiculous,

but it's a show. I'm going to leave it alone. it's not exactly trying a new dating app. But at least the way that he explained it said to me, like he's there just to see. And it could be fun. And maybe he connects with somebody. Get a toe.

Other people were like, I'm going to find my husband. I'm going to find my wife. I'm like, you're an idiot. Oh, no. They said, I'm getting married soon.

Correct. Yeah, they're idiots. I can't wait to get married. There are certain people, and we haven't met everybody yet in these first two episodes. There's still another half of them. We met half of them. There's still another 16 floating around out there that we've seen popping in and out

trying to console people. it's very bizarre but with Patrick and I'm sure other people if you can just explain it in a way of yeah I'm going to have some fun and see what I can do for a connection here and if I connect with somebody great if I don't I'm going home which I don't think the producers that love is blind really want but if you do that you'll at least win me over yeah because he seemed normal yeah Anna seems normalish she did seem normal yeah which makes a lot of sense later on you guys will get there but they hit it off right out of the gate again we talked about it earlier they have similar connections, similar childhood, similar upbringing, a lot of the same background

story. So they also kind of, like I said, derived that, all right, I think we're both Asian. So we both have parents from different countries. I'll both speak different languages. That's really cool. They seem like a very good match. She's also into Blake, right? And she has this real.

And Blake is the real estate guy. Sure. They're all real estate guys in their own right. Quote unquote real estate guy. Hold on. Blake. Is he the guy who just, like, bought and sold properties? Oh, no.

Blake's the accountant. Oh, okay. I had not been focusing on what they do for work. That's the only way I can, like, kind of keep them. That's a really good way to do it. Yeah. So, hold on, I wrote. But I, as far as the connection between Anna and Blake goes,

I didn't see anything that really stood out to me. Like, the Patrick and Anna thing went on for a while, and obviously it's because we're seeing more of it. But it seems like they had a genuine connection, and then Blake was just like, he makes me laugh. Yeah. That's pretty much what I got from it. So I was very confused at the end of this episode when,

it looks like everything's working out. Are we going to get another engaged couple? Which we've missed already. There is another engaged couple. We already forgot about them. Oh, Madison and Joe. Fuck, that's going to take like a 10 minutes. It's not going to take another 10 minutes because I don't remember shit from them.

They were boring. So when that shit happens, just like as a normal person, when that happens that I'm watching it, you just kind of try to watch the other person scramble a little bit because they're trying to come to grips with. a new piece of information that's very daunting. He handled it very well. But internally

I'm like, dude, you're on a TV show. You got to look good here. You can't say something stupid. You have to look good for sure, but you're supposedly going to get married to this person. Good for him. For sure. If he's up for it, and I'm not saying this in like a mean way at all. Like love conquers all. You know

me. I truly believe that. But like my thing with that, you know, from a genuine standpoint of you're spending the rest of of your life with this person. Like, you better be up for it. Because if you guys get engaged and you get married and you're happy and like this is legit despite how it started.

Yeah. And then she loses her sight and you fucking bail. Fuck you. Well, yeah, yeah, that would obviously blow. But like you've known each other for not even known each other. You've been talking for a day. No, I'm just talking. And it's like, for him to say that.

I know he has to say that in that moment. But again, like that's where I need somebody buffering this to be like, hey guys, Like, I want to make sure she finds the guy that is strong enough to be able to support her. Maybe she did. She deserves love. I'm not saying. No, of course, I'm not saying. I'm just putting myself in this situation.

Sure. I mean, like, lady, I've known you for 12 hours. I don't even know what you look like. I have to prepare myself for what you look like. You would be like what? You can't high five. Go fuck yourself. I high five a lot.

But I, yeah, like putting myself in her shoes, or in his shoes rather. And look, maybe he's just a better person than I am. That's a possible. But I don't know you. I don't know what you look like. I have to somehow come over the fear of like when that door opens. Are you even going to be attractive? Now I also have to come over the fear of you could go blind in the next couple of weeks.

He seems completely taken by her. He seems like he's going to be the man for her. Like I don't have any reason to think that he wouldn't. To sum it up, we're not being insensitive. Like obviously if they're in love, yes, you should be together. I think the bigger thing is, hey, man, you've known her for a day. This could be a real situation. Let's not base this off of, like, talking to somebody behind a wall for four days.

Let's really understand that. At some point, this might be a reality. Like, are you able to be that person for her genuinely? Because if you're not. And there's something to say about the fact that she also went on the show, knowing that that's a possibility. And she was up front about it. Yeah, which is good.

So she has no reason to think, like, hey, I just sat down with them and told him what's going on. And he's in the same boat as me. We're both on this show to find love and find marriage and get married very quickly. And all of this is completely unorthodox. So why would I believe that he's not going to be there for me? So on Madison's part, I think she's completely fine. Joe will find out. Yeah, well, he already, look, put it this way.

He's already got a big issue with the cat hair, which I get. Totally get that. I understand that too, yeah. Without a doubt. Like, yeah, that's gross, in my opinion. I'm not saying anything about you cat owners out there. You do your thing. I don't personally like cat here is what it is.

Maybe we can chalk it up to. We didn't see a whole lot of their interactions. So maybe they had deeper discussions and they have a better understanding. I'm just, I feel weirdly protective of Madison. Yeah, no. That's why I was saying. Like, I feel like where she's coming from, she's done everything that she needs to. She has no reason to believe that he's not going to be there to take care of her.

She seems forthcoming. He doesn't. Yeah. I feel like he's still guarded about this and he's saying the right thing. Well, he did the thing right away when she told him where he asked, like, is that definitely going to happen? Right. Like, right away. Is that definitely going to happen?

Or is it a possibility or what? Like, temper my expectations. It's like, you know, you can have that discussion. There's nothing stopping you from waiting until day 10 to, like, really exhaust the issue and try to figure out what's going to happen and what you can expect. So we didn't see a lot of that. I don't know. Maybe they had deeper discussions. I have no idea.

I don't know. I feel like they just kind of glossed. they just kind of glossed over it. They were just like, yeah, you know, she might be going blind. She's got a, she's got an issue with her eyesight. She's got this. She's got that. And then they're like, all right, they're engaged. I love you. I love you too. Let's get engaged. So we're going to see them with their first look for our next recap. I didn't see it yet. Did we already see it? No, I don't think we saw it. No. So that's in the next episode. And this episode, episode two, I know we jumped throughout a lot of an episode two ends on a cliffhanger because Patrick, he's sold on Anna. He's like,

I'm into this girl. I think she's the one. I'm really excited. Like, I'm giddy. You know, he gave her this speech and, like, a scene that they give you as he's walking to the booth at the end. And it's like, you know, I just have this image in my head of you coming in on New Year's Eve. And you walk down the stairs and this dress. And, like, the whole room turns to look at you.

And it's not even because your physical appearance, but your energy. And like, blah, blah, blah. She's like, I love that for me. Can I just say, these fucking situations are wild. What parties are you going to? That's a movie. Are you in the Titanic? Yeah, that is a movie.

Yeah, is this Emma Watson walking, Emma Watson. Jesus Christ. At a boy. Oh, I don't know. It's okay. I can't even remember her name right now. Rose. Is Rose walking down the stairs of the motherfucking Titanic right now?

What's your fucking name? You don't even know. That's why you're laughing. You forget, too. You've completely fucked me up, too, because I had it. Oh, Kate Winslet. Kate Winslet. I had it, too, and I was waiting for you to finish, and then I lost.

I was waiting. No, not only that. I'm going back all the way back to Anton and Allie. That whole dream back and forth bullshit. How did you have a dream about him? That doesn't make sense. It doesn't make any sense. It's the stupidest shit I've ever.

You got out of prison? By the way, maybe Ali had a dream of him getting out of prison and him, her and his mom picked him up or something, whatever the fuck that was. He then scrambles and says, I had a dream about you too. No, you didn't. No, you did not. Absolutely not. Not even, you don't.

A lot of liars, these people. All liars. Yeah, he's lying for sure. And again, I don't trust him at all. Allie genuinely seems like she's infatuated with this man. Which I also don't trust it in just a different way. Sure. I think that's more of a like, you shouldn't be this infatuated yet.

You clearly are. You shouldn't be. Oh, God. Anton is just like, fuck yeah, dude, she's so hot and I'm going to get some ass. Like, that's all he's concerned about quite clearly because he's so stoked that he goes and just chugs his fucking champagne. She doesn't even look at it. She's literally standing there.

We'll stop after this. But she's standing there like clutching her heart, staring at her man with his ridiculous pompadour and the fucking glasses. That's what happens. She loved his hair. I'm not shitting on the hair. But when you push the glasses down in the center of your head

and you have big hair, it makes it look silly. It does. It makes it look silly. Maybe that's why he didn't turn around because the back of his head looks better. I don't know why he didn't. turn around. I can't imagine a scenario. Let's just say it was nerves. Nerves. Yeah, that's what the drink was for. He got nervous. She's longingly staring across the hallway at her fiance. She thinks this is a rom-com. He's about to spill champagne on himself. Yeah. Yeah, that's pretty much

happened. But anyway, the episode ends on a cliffhanger, as we said. Yeah, right. Where poor, geez, I'm getting to the point. Patrick. Patrick, thank you. Poor Patrick goes into the pod. He's looking around hello sanna anyone why the hell would the producer let him go to that pod if she's not there did they just want like a a dramatic moment i thought it was going to be a joke i thought that honestly he was going to sit there and just say hello anyone there anyone there and then anna was going to say something and she never did she never did because she's not sitting there but that's not a spoiler either that's yeah she's just not there but it did give me an idea I think a really good move

would be to just sit there silently and see how the person responds like if you are in the room like start it out there just don't talk and see what they do make them anxious maybe maybe they mutter something under their breath they like scramble and they say weird shit you know yeah maybe

it's like silence for like a minute they start like cussing you out when they think you're not there you know it's like look at this asshole then you know you know possibility I don't know but uh if you guys couldn't tell this is going to be a beautiful disaster to cover. And we're going to jump around like this for episode three and four. And we're going to continue to do two part episodes in one.

Yeah, we'll try to get all six, well, three episodes from us, but all six episodes covered before the next bunch drops. Next Wednesday. They'll be out by next Wednesday. Yep. Promise, promise, promise. Promise, promise. But, uh, last question for you.

Yeah. One person, not, just give me one person, you're actually. rooting for and all the people. Patrick is the low hanging fruit because I am rooting for him now. I'm rooting for Jordan. I was going to say Jordan too. But they give me who you want to. Certainly not Sparkle Megan. I would, Mike pisses me off more than Mark. Mike, yeah, Mike I don't really like that. Nick. Oh yeah. I'm going to go with, I'm not rooting for Sparkle Megan. I'm not rooting for Nick, I'm rooting for Jordan. Yeah, rooting for Jordan. We're both rooting for Jordan and Patrick.

Yeah, Jordan, Patrick, Sparkle Megan, and Nick and Kick Rocks. Okay, cool. And I'm sure there's going to be a whole new power rankings for the next two episodes. Without a doubt. We'll do our best to, like, keep our... I'm going to have to do, like, flashcards for this shit, bro. But anyway, we'll get questions from you for next week. They can be about any... Well, probably, actually, we'll probably end up doing, I guess, for episodes four and six,

since everything will be out. So then when we do that episode, we'll put questions out for you guys to ask us of what's going on, because everybody's going to be on the same page. Yeah, and you guys can ask us anything. Ask us anything you want about anything that happened from episodes 1 through 6, projections for what's going to happen moving forward, whatever it might be.

And we'll do our best to cover everything. Yep, but that's all I got. You got anything else? Nope. That's our show, bro's got to go.
