It was good. I enjoyed myself. I'm so hooked on this show now. I don't know what black magic is going on here to make me so emotionally invested in the outcomes of these people. But whatever this show does to you mentally, I'm so in. Can I tell you something that's going to excite you? Sure. I heard that the pod part of this is the most boring part.

Really? yeah you mean so like when they because they finally yep oh I'm so excited I'm so excited buddy I'm your co-host and shows I gotta have me my pros and shows bros and shows pros and shows I gotta have me my bros and shows good afternoon everybody welcome back to another episode of bros and shows I am your co-host steel russell joined as always by the one and only nick legoots what's up dude Not a whole lot, just hanging out over here, pumped to talk about Love is Blind. We had such a fun time the other day breaking down the first two episodes.

Now I feel like we're just really getting into the swing of things. We're emotionally invested in people that don't know each other. It's so crazy because I went into this one with like, all right, you know what? This is going to be fun. The premise is ridiculous. I'm not going to be that invested in this. We're going to have a silly, fun, goofy time and just like laugh a little bit. It's chaotic, whatever.

Episode three had me hooked. Episode four was the nail in the coffin. I'm like, I'm in. It's funny, too, because there's always, like, one or two, you know, from either side, girl, guy, whatever it might be, that does something that just makes you, like, smack yourself in the face. What the fuck are you talking about? We got a couple in this, in episode three and four alone. By the way, I'm so excited. I thought that we kind of fucked this up that we were going to have to do a recap of episode three and four.

episode three was going to be the tail end of all the people that we met and episode four was going to be new people and we were going to be fucked I was too I was so scared because I'm like they dropped six episodes wouldn't it make sense if they do three and three apparently not we have to get the tail end of this I don't know how many people are left I'm not counting but there's still got to be another 16 people that we haven't met definitely I think they get like what I would guess is we're going to get the culmination of a lot of the people that we know now as they start to bring

newbies in and then everybody goes to the whatever the aftermath is the engagement period of this whole thing so i would imagine the first six that dropped we're going to get all the dating out of the way we're going to see some familiar faces towards the middle by the end of those it's probably going to be mostly new cast and then we'll get everybody lumped together yeah i'm also wondering if the bulk of the next 16 the second 16 if you want to call them that don't really match or don't really end up like connecting or there's not that many good moments and maybe they just wanted to get this all out of the way because it seems like every couple that's talking right now through these

first four episodes there's some shit going on there's something to talk about there's a lot of things your daughter's really excited about it as we can tell i don't know if you guys heard that screech you probably heard that one she's pumped uh i'm pumped and there's so much to dig into because we have that cliffhanger to talk about right away after episode two where the hell's Anna and it went home she gone and not only did she do that we get to see what the aftermath was like which is hilarious so sad i didn't realize that it was going to have this kind of effect like i i'm still in like in the state of mind where i'm kind of putting myself there i'm putting myself in people's shoes and i'm like all right well if i did have a good connection with this girl

and then she ended up going home i would probably make the best of my last couple days they're trying to scramble for a connection one guy kind of did the other guy didn't he laughed is hilarious he ended up leaving it fucked him up so bad that he had to go it was crazy to me and i guess again you know we talk about a lot of these one-off shows we're talking about like the bachelor bachelor bachelorette where we want to dig into the psyche of the aftermath like how how much damage does this do to you in this show and you're only there for 10 days how much damage can you do to a person's brain in 10 days apparently quite a lot and i think that that's always my first thing with the bachelor Bachelorette that I try to remember is your whole mental everything, your psyche, again,

if you will, has to change when you're in that house, like in the Bachelorette mansion, and every single day is you and the same group of people vying for the love of the same person. This has to be similar to that. Now, I thought and was under the impression they stayed and lived here. I guess they get to go home at the end of these pod things and they come back for the next pod and then they live together in the next thing. Do they go home? No, I think they go.

I believe, and again, this is still a work in progress. Okay, connect or connect me. Correct me if I'm wrong. Yeah, I just want to feel connection anywhere, even through a wall. Give me a lava glass wall. But I'm pretty sure they go right from the pods to these live-in situations where they're all kind of living together in an apartment building pretty much, the local to mine rented or Netflix rented or whatever, and that's still like, at some point you have the families get introduced or whatever, but they have a live-in situation where they're all living in identical apartments for a little while.

Yeah, that's the aftermath of this. I think in this one, they're still going home because of something that Nick says, like, go home later. I can't wait to talk about Nick. My God, what an insult little bitch he is. But anyway, I'm curious about, I would love to have, oh, this is what they should do for every reality show that's like this kind of style. Bachelor, Bachelorette, Love is Blind, Love Island, all of that. Give us a behind the scenes episode, like a three-parter of, like, how it works. Give me all the details and like, okay, so we take them from here, they stay here. This is what they're doing when we're not filming. I mean, we haven't seen Nick Lechay, and I always forget his wife's name. Mrs. Lechay. Jessica?

That sounds right. It's me, Jessica. It's me. Jessica. I'm in here. I feel bad that I don't remember. her name, but like, whatever. Nick Lechay and his wife.

We got glossed over and just pulled out a hot chick reference. Rob Schneider movie. My bad. I thought this was a safe space. No, but like, I'm sorry. I think this is the type of show that I'm sure there's people say Philadelphia that don't watch this, but they're going to tune in next year. Oh, yeah.

Because they want to see if they know anybody and it's going to be their first, like, drop into the show. Explain all of the rules right up front. That's what I think, yeah. The funniest part about this is we could Google the rules right now if we really wanted to. The speculation is hilarious. And us being wrong is a staple of this show anyway. But where do you want to start?

Which couple do you want to start with? Which grouping, I guess you could say, because there's a couple of love triangles. I don't understand how these dudes are in love triangles. I guess it's kind of evenly matched when I really think about it because there are a couple of girls that have two guys. there's a couple of guys that have two girls on the dude side of it I don't understand how those dudes have multiple options I don't either I think it's so

that goes back to the premise of the show again I think because there's a level and I don't mean this in a mean way I don't really care actually there's obviously a level of desperation here you know and that comes in quite strong in these two episodes

like the panic throttle of oh fuck I might go home yeah there's nothing admitting to your I thought about that too And then I thought There might be a sense of relief in there too Because then you start thinking back And you're like alright

If I didn't make that much of an ass of myself I don't have to get engaged at the end of this I gave it my all I still got to be on the show And I get to go to the reunion at the end of the I'm assuming there's a reunion At the end of this whole thing So I get to make friendships

And I probably have a bigger social media presence And that's what's gonna work And if you're a dickhead dude like Mike Oh Mike Mike fuck Mike And you don't end up Somehow Miraculously at this point because I don't even know what happens with him, but if you don't miraculously end up

with someone, which he could end up with Sparkle Megan, then he's going to go home and he's going to have thousands of new followers and new women to invite to his sauna. That's probably best case scenario for a guy like that. He's a douchebag. It's funny, too, because I do think there's more, and this isn't like a shot at these girls, but I do think there are more girls that are like fully invested. And the guys seem like, all right, yeah. Yeah, I agree with that.

I also feel like the girls are 90% fairly level-headed. Like, I actually really enjoyed a lot of the girls this episode. Annie sucks ass, but the rest of them, I'm like, okay, in my head, the boys are trying as hard as they can. Like, they really stink of desperation. The girls seem more level-headed and trying to go through this process the right way. We see a lot of dudes throwing shit against the wall, hoping it will stick, no pun intended. But let's just jump in because we'll keep doing this.

Yeah, which triangle. Let's start out. I don't want to start with the triangle. Start out happiness. You want to start out with Edmund and Calabria? If you want to, I was saving them. But I guess we can start out. We usually start out sad.

Let's start out happy. I love these two. I'm all for this Edmund and his quirks. It played out exactly how we thought it was, too. Nerudo run in, the anime run in. And actually, anime run out to get the letter and anime run back in. But, you know, when that door reveals, and like, the way he was talking about himself, I'm not the handsome.

I'm not like, not that cute. I'm like, yeah, you are. You're a good looking guy. You want to root for him. Yeah, and like, Calabia is so sweet. And the acknowledgement of this is not my normal type, like he is weird, but I love his weirdness. Here's the difference between these two and the rest of the couples that we've seen,

finally see each other. This was the most natural. This seemed the most natural. It was, actually, I'm not positive because the other one between Joe and Madison. Madison seemed a little natural. too. And this seemed, that seemed the most realistic of, oh my God, you're a real person. You're a real person, and I'm also

attracted to you, this rocks. Yeah, that's what I got from their meeting. This was, it could have gone either way, but honestly, the way that Claibreys been talking, seemed like she was going to be into him regardless. I know. Seems like she was just fallen for the guy. She knew that he was quirky. He did a really good job of being up front about how

quirky he was. He cried about 15 times. He knew. When he cried and she held him, I was like, that's so sweet. He cried, yeah, he cried. held him he cried before he proposed to her he cried in the first episode so he's just crying all over the place and she's accepting of it i love what what more can we say about that other than let love be love it was just such a sweet scene and like the going from my initial reaction of edmund i'm like wow this dude's a lot i wonder if she knows like how quirky is to then seeing them come together

like watching them just interact between a wall i i fell in love with them yeah i think they're great I hope that they, I feel like they have a shot. I think that they write, yeah, weirdly enough, and I think the last of these couples that are going to get coupled up at some point, we don't know exactly what's going to play out in the next couple episodes. We haven't watched episodes five and six yet. But so far they seem like the most rock solid. Yeah, I agree.

Maybe it's because we didn't really get a ton between Anton and Allie, but there was a little bit of weirdness there, and I don't really trust it. Cannot wait to see those two live together. It's going to be a disaster. Joe and Madison could work out, but it just seems like Edmund and Calabria just have it going on. I feel like they, there seems like they've been together for a while where Joe and Madison, it still, obviously, it is new. Yeah. It seems new.

Whereas Edmund and Calabria. And it could work out well. Right. But those Edmund and Calabria, it feels more like, oh, yeah, this is something real. And like, I fuck with that hard. Yeah. So, caduz to them, loved that. Love their whole thing.

And especially, because I watched, uh, I, I, I, I was crunched for time. I did the one and a half speed on Netflix. Yeah. For a show like this, I'm always going to do the one-a-half speed anyway. Huge tip. I wish I could do that with The Bachelor.

I can't do it on the TV, by the way. I had to watch it on my phone. I can do it on my TV. Just get a better TV, bro. Get a better TV. Have you seen the frame? You're also watching it in your back room. No, I watched it out there.

I was like, oh, it didn't work. I'm going to try it on this one. It depends on what you're, this is going to get technical. But it depends on what you're watching it on. Are you just using the apps on your TV? well yeah oh you plug a fucking apple tv or something in that bad boy why would i waste money on an apple tv box when my tv does it then you're gonna get like 4k pictures have you seen my instagram the recession chef i don't know i'm just out of here i know what i'm getting for christmas fine i'll take it

yeah there you go but see i didn't buy it yeah that's a good point uh-huh manipulation at its bias recession chef i get all my nice things because people get it for me exactly but anyway what i was going to say is Dark Horse by Katie Perry at 1.5 speed, phenomenal. Dude, it's like an ADM remix. It's so good. It's already kind of hard. Yeah, I mean, that song goes hard. That song goes hard.

But it goes even harder at one and a half speed. Who's in that? Who raps in that B-O-B? It is B-O-B. Yeah. Yeah. Good pull. Are you still around?

Is he? I think so, yeah. I think he just did something recently where, like, a fan storm the stage. It might have been like the last five years, but I feel like I remember that. I feel like any new rap recently at all. New rap? New rap, there's nothing there. I look every once in a while.

I'm going to hear I'm going to hear I'm like a boomer the mumble rap That's what I'm saying Yeah no mumble rap was fine For a little while But I disagree

Rap now I will say this Side tangent There's a lot of really good shit On Instagram Of like little artists That aren't really Well known

That drop absolute bars But then they end up getting big And then they do the same shit Everyone else is doing Which is unfortunate But that's not what this is about Let's get back on track here Blame 21 Savage

Okay, because there's not much to talk about here. Do Anna and segue into Patrick. To Patrick. Exactly. Yeah, great minds think I like. So Patrick is absolutely lost.

Like, he was dead set on Anna. I think the other part of this is there had to be some kind of notion that there's no way I'm going to get ghosted on this show. Dude, they teased a ghost like so many more times in the last episode. The producers are like, this works. It does work. Let's keep ghosting people. It puts me on the edge of my seat. I just was shocked that we got a double ghost.

I know, dude, a double ghost and we got a lot else going on. Some delayed entries. We got some delayed entries that were a little fucked up. We got some delayed responses. Thanks, Mike. you dickhead. Yeah, seriously. But Anna not being there, Patrick going back to the men's quarters, it looks like Blake realized

that he won, and he was beside himself. He was giddy. We said this at the end of the episode. He said I won. Yep. Fuck you, dude. Yeah. How's that feel?

I also love watching both the men and women put two and two together because they're sitting there. And again, we don't really know how long it's taking. Is this day eight, nine, ten? Is this the last ditch effort? We don't know what's going on. I'm assuming not because Patrick still has. had like another four more days to get to know Casey.

He said there was at least two more days. It was at least two, and I saw at least three different outfits. Now, it could have been like a double date type of situation, not like a real double day. They do morning and night dates sometimes. Exactly. So maybe they doubled up on a day or whatever, but it seemed like this was somewhere mid-week, mid-10 days. And Blake thought he won. Blake was so ecstatic.

He walks over to the producer. He's getting ready for his date. Hey, uh, sorry to tell you this, but she's gone. Why didn't they do that for Patrick? they needed somebody to take the hit. Fucked. They needed somebody to take the hit. That's more demoralizing, by the way.

And Blake, I don't know much about Blake. He seemed fine. He's a pussy. Like, really, dude? You get told by the producer that your date's not there, and then you start to spiral and go home? Yeah. Frantically find another date.

I don't care what happens. You only have a couple more days here. Do your best. Or was it true love with Anna? It was not true love. I don't think so either. I didn't get that vibe from them at all. True love with Anna could have been Patrick.

It seemed like they were mesh. really well. I actually agreed with what he said later where it's like there's so many similarities, you know, and it could go either way. Who was the guy who we haven't really met yet? I think his name was Dylan. Who said... He's the one with like the blonde hair. He's the one with the blonde hair. He looked like the dude from The Bachelor who kept saying keep the main thing. Yeah, yeah, thank you. Um, he's like, yeah, at some point, it might feel like you're fucking your twin. I'm like, what the hell? There was so many weird things said when he said that. I had a lot of respect for Patrick a couple times. That one, because he didn't take the bait. He just kind of moved. I think he got up and left in conversation. There was another one where Mike was saying some shit and he started to almost talk shit about Casey. Right. And Patrick's like, no, I'm not going to do that. And then shut him down. Yeah, there was another like mix up to where who was, oh, it's between Dylan and. No, not Dylan. Sorry. Jordan. I'm just mixing everybody up.

Jordan and it's Jordan and Mike for Sparkle Megan. I know. That was the one where Jordan didn't take the bait, but I don't think Jordan even knows what the fuck's going on. Jordan's the most real dude in the house. Yeah, Jordan seems like he's just kind of zeroed in. He likes Sparkle Megan. He's going to continue to talk to Sparkle Megan.

If it works out, great, if not, whatever. He's starting to get a little giddy. Mike feels threatened. I don't care how many times he goes to his confessional and says, you know what, she's going to make a big mistake if she doesn't pick me and she's going to realize that as soon as she gets out here. Fuck off, dude. We know what makes you sound insecure.

You are exactly who we thought you were. We had you pegged immediately. Within 10 seconds of you being on, all it took was the rest of the guys around to be like, yeah, he's a bit of a fuck boy, clearly. Okay, that's all I needed. And you are. That's exactly what you are. But we'll go back to Patrick because Patrick does the right thing. I do have other options out there.

This is kind of fucked up, but whatever. Let me make the best of it. Start talking to Casey, who I didn't think that they had any chemistry. at all. Oh, I did. I thought it was just... I felt chemistry. I felt chemistry.

I felt... I can't believe I'm this involved with this fucking show. I felt chemistry, but I felt like he was holding back. I felt like Anna was keeping him back. Anna was keeping him back.

I felt like Casey was warming up to him, and I felt like... They seemed like the feelings-wise, their ships were passing in the night. Right, yeah. Where it was like, he's now a little checked out, and there's, you know, you can't really blame the guy.

It seems like he was... He was probably going to propose to Anna. on for a loop with Anna, and I think that it rattled him a little bit, and I think that he was actually trying to not get invested in Casey, and I think she pulled it out of him in a good way. She did, and I think that they probably, God, damn it, why are we invested in this? I know, dude, right? I think that they're probably, that's like the best thing they could have happened for both

of them. I agree. Because it took her out of her shell where she had to do a little bit more because she then realized, do I want to go back and start dating the same guy? and then she starts to open up a little bit more, and she does look, if you don't even know what this woman looks like, and you've never met her before,

and she starts talking about how her ex-boyfriend did this and that, and she's talking in the women's quarters about how he was like, yeah, go on this show, go on this dating show, and you're going to feel so stupid when you come back, you're going to look at me, and you're going to wish that you never did that. Yeah, and she's telling the girls,

and I'm like, all right, that's fine. Then she tells Patrick. I'm glad she told Patrick. I think it worked fine, but if I'm Patrick hearing that, again, I'm on a dating show where I don't even know you, and you're telling me all this. I'm like, that's a lot of red flags.

But that was the test. Yeah. That was the big moment because she lets all of that out that her ex-boyfriend not only show, like, his compliments to her are, you're me the hottest one on the show. And I show your Instagram more than other girls' Instagrams. Like, sick, bro, what? But by her telling him that, and he clearly had some reservations about it because he voices that, she was able to be like, look, what do you need for me?

Do you need me to block him, this, that, the other? other that was a test on he got rattled she reeled him back in they had a night to think about it and that night was the night that he needed to be like i love you yeah i think you just needed a little bit more time which you know in a vacuum a day a night of sleep is probably enough for him to get over anna oh yeah that's really all it takes you kind of do have to have that conversation with yourself where you're like i only knew this girl for a couple of days yeah i really liked her but she's gone and there's nothing i can do about it let me move on to the next best thing blake you could learn something from that no blake blake he bitched down left just

went home and poor who the fuck was it, Annie that we were supposed to meet up up with? No. No, hold on. Hold on, hold on, hold on. Wait, it was Casey. Wasn't it? Give me a sec. Give me a sec. Give me a sec. Maybe it was Kate. Oh, Megan. Megan. Megan. But Blake still had Megan lined up.

And that was the big thing where Blake was Megan's number one. Yeah. So we had to go, for whatever reason, Megan's got all of these choices. She grew on me. She grew on me a little bit. But I do think there is something to and we talked about this in the last episode, these people are horny.

Like, they are backed up in there and they cannot do anything but think about having sex with the people that they're talking to. That's, again, like the psyche of it. It does the wall and hearing a voice and then obviously your brain's going to put together

this person. But does the wall create more horniness? Do you get more turned on talking to a wall with a person behind? It's the gloryhole effect. It is, it might be the glory whole effect. I was going to say

there might be something in like the lava that's going through that's emitting some sort of like pheromones special pheromone yeah exactly it could be that i'll give them the benefit of it out i don't know what it feels like to be just blocked into a room talking to somebody else for a couple of days maybe this is what works i don't know but like i know when casey back to patrick when casey and patrick were talking and i was trying to avoid this you can't we got to talk about it because i knew what she was doing all right obviously everyone knows what she's doing with like the literal interpretation of it. She's horny and she wants to talk dirty to him

and she wants him. Patrick's not good at dirty talk. No, he's very uncomfortable. But I think what she was trying to do was like just be more vulnerable with everything and just be like here and just to make him maybe be more at ease because he was tense

his shit the whole time. So then she goes, which is funny, but that was my point. And not even like a... He was bricked up though. He laid in that fucking room for another couple of years. Once he got into it. It took him a second to get into it. He wasn't obviously reciprocating. I can't believe we're breaking down game film of sex talk. I'm so happy we are. Um, Casey, Casey came on strong with a lot of the sex talk in this episode because she goes back and forth with him not only

explicitly talking about what she would do, but then she starts talking about how, you know, I'm going to be there for you. I'm going to plan these special birthdays. I'm going to show up to a hotel room with lingerie on. I got stripped he's planned. Are you my guy? And then, she's like, and then I'm also going to make a reservation at a restaurant. And I'm like, I know what you're doing. We all know what you're doing here. We've got to peek into your past relationships. We know how this all works out.

Patrick, on the other hand, I thought he was very uncomfortable with it until he goes. What next? And what next? Because before that. Am I speaking into the right microphone? What? Tell me more? Here's what he said.

No, I'm like, can these people crank it in there? Like, what's going on? Well, first of all, the landing strip of it all. She, she, infroses it. With, you know, everyone's talking about me having a landing strip because he said I'm smooth as a baby seal. Yeah. I took that the same way that she did, by the way. I was like, do you not have body hair?

I just thought about body hair in general, chest hair, arm hair. I didn't think pubes. I mean, I wasn't thinking about it as pubes or anything. Well, then what would you think about? And now? What do you think a landing strip is? I know she's talking about her landing strip. That's different.

So she thought he was talking pubies. I get that part of it. I thought, yeah, we're on the same page, I think. I guess so. I thought that he didn't have any body hair, and I wasn't specifically thinking he's got no pubs. He had, like, alopecia? No, maybe, I don't know. He said he's soft as a baby, a baby seal.

Yeah, no body hair. Yeah. She thought it was pubic hair. Okay. I've now said pubs four times. I don't want to say it anymore. Yeah. But the landing strip thing happens.

He's, he gets rattled, and she starts getting into the whole thing. She's like, what do you want me to do? I got this, I got that plan, I want to do it all to you. I want to take care of you. And he's like, yeah, yeah, I feel that. I feel that. I'm like, oh, that's tough. This is tough thing.

I'm uncomfortable. I'm uncomfortable right now. Once he said what's next, then it was like, all right, he's into it. He's just really bad at this. Yes. And it's probably really awkward. And I'm sure there's also that level of you probably forget this sometimes, but maybe in a situation like this you're thinking about it, that you're on camera and a lot of people

are going to see this. Sure. Do you really want to be sex talking somebody that you've never met before through a... If you're going to get engaged, I think you probably should tip- I should talk about it, yeah, but I don't know. He looked uncomfortable, but he was definitely into it. Yep, and we'll just wrap it up with Patrick and Casey because that one night of sleep, you know, she really, she went hard for him, and she laid it all out there on the table.

She left it all on the field. It's kind of weird that Casey only had one person, too. No, she, uh, we didn't see her really talk to anybody else. Yeah, it's a good point, but I actually like that. I prefer that because I feel like the other ones are not performative, but it's cast in a wide net just in case. Yeah, I guess that's right. She put all her eggs in one basket.

And I appreciated that she said all the things that Patrick needed to hear to get like affirmation. You know what I'm saying? Like you're going to be, I know you're the hottest guy. She didn't say Asian guy, which is something that really upset him when he was growing up, stuff like that where she actually listened and then returned it in a way that would make him feel good. She cared. I think that makes the most sense. And, yeah, I just looked it up.

She was only talking to Patrick, at least from what we saw. So that works out pretty well. And it looks like, and I'm pretty sure they're going to get engaged. Did they even get engaged in this? Yeah. They did get engaged in a sense. Yeah, they got engaged. And he said, woo, let's go.

Woo, let's go. Woo, let's go. Yeah, okay. Yeah. Yep. I'm mixing up my engagements now. But we'll see what happens with that. That's going to be an interesting one.

We didn't see them go face to face yet. I think face to face is going to be really hot and heavy. And that I'm curious because he seems like a big time overthinker. Yeah. So I think that watching those two live together is going to be interesting. Yeah. Yeah, that's going to definitely be interesting. Now let's get on to...

Sparkle Megan? Well, yeah, let's get on to Sparkle Megan because we already dipped our toe into the Blake pool. Blake no-shows. No-show Sparkle Megan. No-show Sparkle Megan. She has the right response coming back. Obviously, she's a little thrown through a loop, but pretty much just says, I can't believe he didn't even say goodbye.

Yeah. And when Anna did it, it seemed like she was really going through it when Blake did it. It just looked like, yeah, like, yeah, my number one's gone. I'm out here. I'm out of here. This isn't going to work out for me. It's like, well, you can still find something in here. You could try. And I guarantee

that's one of those things that producers are probably like, are you fucking kidding me? Like, we went through so many applications. We picked you and you're going to leave because one person went home. That's stupid. Yeah, probably. I don't know. They try to be really nice on camera, but I'm sure they're motherfucking him when he leaves. But I'm sure. With Sparkle

Megan, her two remaining dudes could not be more polar opposite. You've got Jordan who works I forget branch manager or something like that. He's got a son Luca who is juvenile diabetes type 1 diabetes which is very

important because dumb fuck Mike who thinks that he's smart because he works and makes money those kinds of people drive me insane but I don't need to get into that whole thing. Mike and Megan are clearly the same type of person. What pisses you all

more, the people that work and make money and think that they're smart, or the people that are the lamb of God and hide behind God when they do something shitty? The latter. Yeah. By far the ladder. Yeah, I can't wait to talk about that one. I cannot wait to talk about that in-cell little piece of shit. But with Mike, this guy's so pretentious and cocky and egotistical, and he thinks that he's

like the biggest, baddest dude in the room. when you consistently say things like she needs a real man and I'm not threatened by him it makes it sound like you are not a real man and you're threatened by him I really hope I'm so tired of hearing about his fucking sauna too

I hope that a pipe burst in his sauna and he has to get it taken out and can't get one back to put him like that's what I want it's a somewhat minor inconvenience but very expensive and annoying I hope his ex-girlfriend who still sauna's with him I hope her boyfriend

finds out via this show and kicks his ass. He's such a douchebag. And the way that he talks, it's like, what woman wouldn't want me kind of vibe. You're on love is blind, my guy. Yeah. This is where you've gotten to

to try to find a partner because you're probably a piece of shit. That's where I start to think about the intentions of people on this show. His intention on this show is maybe I'll find a hottie. And by the way, I don't have to marry them. So I can just have some fun for a couple of weeks, get my face out there, and then go back to my sauna. I don't know. That's the shit that, again, I feel like producers should probably be able to see through.

Well, you want some of that on the show. You want some of it, I guess, but there's probably a lot more deserving people if we want to do that. And I guess the entertainment value kind of kicks in a little bit. You've got to get somebody that everybody's going to hate collectively. So that kind of works, too. From the darkest corners of our imagination comes a game show that's more ridiculous than terrifying. Welcome to Tickled to Death. I'm your host, Roz Hernandez,

and I'll be guiding guests through the creepy questions and chaotic games, all to win the ultimate title of horror movie champion. Listen to Tickle to Death, wherever you get your podcasts, and hit Follow, unless you want the show to follow you. 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 watch. 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. Season 2 arrives September 24th, distributed by Realm. Here, the most popular fiction podcast of all time, which the New York Times

described as what might occur if David Lynch was a producer at your local radio station. Welcome to Night Vale is a twice monthly update from a small desert town where the paranormal is real. Every conspiracy theory is true. We all have to get on with our lives anyway. Welcome to Night Vale is available wherever you get your podcasts. But I like what we see from Megan over these two episodes. It was a good story arc, good character arc. Yeah, because where we left her when she's talking to all three of these guys. Blake is obviously her number one. He's out. Jordan sneaks back in. She was going to friend zone him. She was going to friend zone him. But they had one really good conversation that was pretty deep. And that was enough to at least bring him back to level playing field

with Mike. And then you get to see her psyche change a little bit with Mike where something clicks and she almost has that conversation with it herself. This is exactly like the guys that I dated home. This is exactly like the guys that I've been dating. I see a little bit of that here and there, and he said, and she says that to Mike, and Mike takes that as a compliment. I know. And that is right there where I think she was like, yeah, no. Yikes, we're not doing this. It's that big, it's that guy that runs around on.

That and him putting two and two together and realizing that Jordan's the other guy and then trying to trash talk them. That's crazy work. Like, what do you think that's going to do? I get that that's going to happen and I'm sure it happens probably every year or two because that's just, that should be an immediate, like, see you later. Yeah, it's just testosterone in a room talking about things, figuring out who's your competition and then trying to crush them, but you should be able to crush them like Jordan's

crushing them. Just talk about yourself and focus on your own connection. Once you start trash talking, any person that you're actually trying to set yourself up with to get married with should be able to see through that. If they don't see through that, they're not the one for you, Jordan. Especially, especially when you're going to try to use Luca's diabetes as a talking point. Yeah. Because you're so into nutrition. You want your kids to be into nutrition and healthy stuff. And, you know, one of these guys, his son has diabetes. Her dad died of complications that could have been affected by his juvenile diabetes because it's type 1 diabetes, you asshole.

That is not treatable. That's something you have to manage your whole life. He goes in there and he says, my buddy was pre-diabetic and he got his diet together and no more diabetes. I don't know. I mean, you fucking idiot. It's not the same thing. And that told me everything I need to know about him. And the funniest part, and this is kind of bummed me out about Sparkle Megan, knowing your dad and knowing you're talking to Jordan, hearing that should have been like, oh, fuck this guy.

Yeah. That was crazy that he tried to shit talk Luca for having, it was almost like saying Jordan's a bad dad. Yeah. Because Luca was born with diabetes. Yeah. He just, in Mike's mind, he's, Jordan is sitting at home feeding Luca a bunch of sugar. Yeah. And like, that's pretty much what.

he thought happens. Yes. He's an idiot. He's an absolute moron. So I can't see a world in which, and we don't know where Megan actually finally decides, but I'm hoping she stays with Jordan. The funny thing is I almost got spoiled and very, very briefly, something popped up and said, check out this interview with Patrick about the weird no-show date that he had.

And I'm like, oh, fuck, Patrick doesn't find anybody. And this was before I even saw him and Casey together. I can't look at spoilers. I didn't look at it. It just popped up. It wasn't even on. like I have no love is blind TikTok I have no love is blind on Twitter

so I don't see any of it it popped up on a fucking Google alert on my work computer that showed me the weather it showed me a little bit of sports some baseball action and then Love is Blind to the bottom left I'm like are you fucking kidding me Google this is a work computer

what the hell it's supposed to be working not looking at baseball scores or watching the baseball game on my phone I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing there watching Love is Blind on my phone who knows what they're supposed to be doing in an office I'm not supposed to be reading love is blind articles getting spoiled but I didn't get spoiled.

Now I'm happy. Yeah. You ever get reverse spoiled where you think you got spoiled and then something works out? You're like, oh, nice. Reverse spoils are great because that happened to watch me going. I won't spoil it because I'm watching a show. But I read something by accident, 100% by action. It was like deep in the comments, there was like a funny interaction going on.

I was reading it. And then someone dropped someone. I was like, oh, no. They were trolling. That didn't actually happen. When I got to that point, it didn't happen. I was like, oh, thank God. That would have sucked.

the best. So yeah, reverse trolling, or sorry, reverse spoiling is awesome. But this is also another one where it's like, reverse trolling, compliments. Yeah, I guess being nice, uh, backhanded compliments, perhaps. Maybe, yeah. But this is another thing that I would have not, not walked, but run out of the room. If a man says to me, we're going to have the hottest kids, the sexiest kids. Yeah. What are you talking about? Sexiest kids is a wild phrase. I don't even feel comfortable saying it. No. I want to bleep it out. Yeah. What are you doing, Mike? Who do you think you are, Mike? I don't know, man.

And she was taken by it. That's the worst part is she gets so caught up in this. And you can watch her in real time going through a conversation with Mike. She is so taken by him. And then she kind of realizes herself back in again by realizing I've seen this kind of guy before. I don't want to do this. It's almost what I want. It was like watching a rom-com, but the scenes that you don't get to see, you know,

like them like just introspectively working through should I take the guy with like an average job he loves his kid he he seems like just a fun time he seems to really care about me every time i leave for me watching these two juxtaposed it's so obvious every time you leave the room with jordan you're smiling and happy in a great mood every time you leave with mike you're thinking by the way in a short amount of time in that 10 day period yeah you were going to friends on him but that means he was a good friend exactly what's the best thing to happen your friends before lovers bang that works out perfectly yes so maybe go with your get on that one It just seems so obvious.

It does. Obviously, you need to take. But also, that was the one where we got back to the men's quarters. And Jordan was a little bit, not heated, but he was a little anxious talking about, yeah, this is my number one. You know, I really like her. But I do think that, like, she makes a lot of money. She's got an important job.

She wants to do this and that and whatever. And, like, I don't know if that's exactly what I'm going to be. And he's self-doubting a little bit. Mike's eating it up. Mike's literally smirking. And that's what, like, yeah, I know you're talking to Jordan. She's like, okay. That was awkward.

Yeah, he thought that that was going to be a good move. And I don't think it was, honestly. I think that was the final nail in the coffin, at least I hope. Because if Sparkle Megan ends up switching and going to Mike next episode, I'm done with Sparkle Megan. Well, like, the other thing is when after the Jordan reveal, after he reveals that he knows about Jordan, one, the way he goes about it, it's like, this guy's weirdly controlling through a wall. Like, do you really want that. He's like, I wish you could be honest with me. Yeah.

Don't make her do that. Don't give her an ultimatum. Like, this is already weird enough. And now you're like, tell me who you're doing. One deep conversation with them. It's just like goofing around. Power couple this. Power couple that.

Dazard. Diabetes is treatable regardless of the circumstances. Yeah. Like, that was the deepest conversation they had, actually. By the way, that's the most intuition that you're going to get into, is this guy intelligent? Will this guy be a good father? He's a fucking, probably not. No, dude. Like, he's so caught in this power couple thing.

And then he tries to say all these things. And then he promises her like, I'm not like, your exes, which is exactly what her exes would say, Mike. Yeah. So we don't buy that. And then because she's not like fawning over him and returning, I don't even want to say affectionate, he's not being affectionate, he's being

gross. And she doesn't give him anything back. So then he plays her puppy dog, I'm fine, it's fine, no worry about it. Like, I'm really okay. And ends the conversation. Doesn't let her get another word in and he's like, see you tomorrow. You're a bitch. He's a big bitch. And he wants to hide behind

the wall of like, I make money, I'm a man. You're on love is blind. You can't find anybody. And after this, it's going to be even harder because we all see what a loser you are. Yeah. I want to do a little buffer between Mike and Nick. Yeah, let's not go right to Nick. Let's talk about, oh, fuck, though.

We're going to still have to talk about. Yeah, because it's neat. We can talk about Annie and Brendan first. Let's have a Madison and Joe. Oh, Madison and Joe. They have their little introduction to each other. Yeah, we have. have that big reveal, which I'm always nervous

for. Every time the doors are closed. Yeah, I get really nervous. Oh, boy, please go well. Especially when it's somebody that I like. And, like, I don't think I feel one way or another in this couple, but I was really nervous about Edmund and Calabria. I was too. I really wanted it to go well. Yeah, I wanted it to go well. It went well. Huge sense of relief. This one was just,

I didn't really have a whole lot of investment in this, so I just wanted to see. I didn't have a dog in this part. I'm always eager to see what the first look looks like. Again, this seemed like the most realistic reaction. Oh, yeah. Trying to like... Kiss on lips, right away, a little dip too. A little romantic. Then watching your brain try to equate what's going on.

He said some dumb shit, though. It's really tough when you get out of the cubes and you have to go in and you have to realize, whoa, this is what I was. Not this. I didn't mean this is what I was. That is that is what I was talking to. She, she, she, she. Sorry, it's my fiance.

It's the, you know, the girl that I've followed in love with. It's okay. Just take a breather. You didn't meet anything by it. Don't say that again. I don't know what the fuck that was. No. And like, we're all analyzing it like, are you attracted to each other right away?

She seemed to be taken by him. He was not hesitant, but. I think he was just timid and like, overwhelmed by the situation. I'm not entirely sure, but. Something was weird about it, but I don't think it was the kind of weird where it's like, he's just going to start like pulling away from her. No.

I didn't get that. Some of these couples are going to start pulling away immediately based on attraction. Without a doubt. But no, I do believe that they were genuinely attracted to each other. She looked great. So I was like that whole, the whole thing was really sweet. But watching him try to understand what was going on was kind of funny. Yeah. He didn't have to say pleasantly surprised four times. Nope. Like, all right, tone it down a little bit. I think he summed it up. It's like, I just didn't have your voice pictured to what you look like. Right. So trying to understand. stand like oh this is who I was talking to is where he was going you really watched him warm up throughout the whole thing and by the end by the ring part he goes and gets the ring then it was like

okay I think we're good I'm curious to see how that whole thing goes because I think they're going to be fine I could also see that one being like an amicable like yeah it didn't work yeah it's kind of funny I had a weird thought during that scene do you think we're pretty close with AI where they're going to be able to like create a person from a book because a lot of people and I don't read books. I'm not out of here reading books. A lot of people read books and they have these romantic feelings

towards somebody that they read in a book. I think we're pretty close with the AI where they'll be able to just create that person and you can date that person. Oh, without a doubt. Yeah. Yeah, you mean like her? Yeah.

But with an actual like hollering? Yeah, I was thinking more like Anaday Armas and Blade Runner. Oh. They're going to be able to create a person that you could just actually. Yeah, probably. Yeah.

And you can just like fix things. You're like, yeah, that voice doesn't match what I was thinking, or that's not exactly what I thought. Yeah, the world's going to shit because of all this. Yeah, what a weird place, man. Yeah, I don't like it. I don't even like that I was thinking about it. That's the problem. But the problem, no, the problem.

And it's not my problem. The problem is that that's a ridiculous thought. That's insane. That shouldn't be a thing. But it probably will be within like two years. So it's not my fault. No. It's not on me.

No, blame. It's on society. Yeah. It's on fucking Tesla. Tech. It's on the tech industry. Oh, man. But no, I like Joe and Madison.

I'm rooting for them. I'm not as invested in them. Also love, and I was wrong about this already, so that's why I kept referring to the things that we always get wrong. The couples that are already engaged. Now, I was looking for rings, so again, I'm just trying to, like, time things up. But we got a little Anton and Allie drop it in this episode, too. I saw Anton briefly.

Yeah, and Allie was the one who was comforting Kate later. Oh, God. Yeah. this thing. It's the best thing that could have happened to you, Kate. Oh, my God, yeah. Unfortunately, I think Kate's going to end up going home unless we get a drop in. That's where it's going to get interesting.

You know? Newbies. That's what I said. They're not really newbies. They're in there, but we haven't seen them really yet, except for in their respective quarters. So is there going to be like, here's new people, new people, new people. Here's a new guy. And by the way, here's Kate again.

It's like, whoa. What the fuck did that happen? That's how you blend it. That would be a good blend. I'm not confident. they're going to do that. I think that they have a structure in here, and we're going to get new people for the last two episodes of this drop. But that being said, I do think that Joe reined it in at some point. And I'm looking for what you pointed out last week with Anton. They all tend to turn back around and, like, kind of stare at the other person, longingly blow a kiss in Edmund's way. Loved it. Loved it. But they all seem to be taken by the person that they're with, which is crazy. because Allie is beautiful

and Anton didn't do it. So I got questions there still. Do you see what I'm saying? I see exactly. We were saying everybody has turned around. Everybody's still excited and giddy looking at each other. So got some work to do buddy. But do you want to do it?

We got to dump in. All right. Dump in. Yeah. This dude's a fucking loser. Well, hold on. Before we, like we'll lead in easy because Annie, Annie who sucks to,

Annie is into Brandon. Brandon's into Annie as they're talking to each other. I didn't love Annie episode one and two. When she's talking to Brandon and he's like trying to work with her and he's just kind of like laughing some things off. And she's like, yeah, you know, I'm super touchy-feely. I'm like obsessed with my partner, this, that, the other, which is fine. Some couples are like that. I agree with her though.

I don't think that he went deep at all. No, I agree with that. I don't think in Brendan, Brendan, I think it is. not Brandon. It's Brendan. Yeah. Brendan was, he was afraid to get deep. And then he did the weird thing where, like, he kept repeating what they talked about. And he's like, we talked about your hopes and dreams.

We talked about the red door on the house that you wanted. You brought up the door. It's like, dude, what are you talking about? You asked about her dream house. You were spiraling. And look, Nick sucks, but her and Nick are having deeper conversations about kids and how they want to raise their kids. They have the same fucked up ideals.

Yeah, they're bizarre people. but they're at least having those deep conversations you're talking about her dream house and now when she's shutting you down at the end of all of this you're then rattled and going back and forth and basically blaming her

saying you're pulling away is there another person here it was a bizarre stretch I didn't really understand it maybe it's just like who he is and he doesn't realize what a deep conversation is that's probably one of those guys

that doesn't share his emotions I don't know but to take that and be like she's pulling away from me and I don't really get it she told you why she's pulling away and you guys didn't really have any conversations that were worthy of us even really talking about so far so what do you want i don't really get it yeah no i agree with that but i i do

think some of the things she was saying was like are you listening brandon because she said to apologize you can buy her jewelry and cars and stuff like do you want to be with somebody that like yeah that's the vibe yeah even though she was quote unquote joking but you know then he said are you and she said no yeah pretty much like that's stupid it was it was a tough one just because again he's probably better off without her based on what we've seen with her and nick yeah but she seemed which was bizarre she seemed like he was like gaslighting and being manipulative and like left the room it was a whole weird thing with the two of them which i think you could have just chalked it up to like not compatible yeah okay let's just move on they were both

pretty upset about it the other breakup on the other end of this weird love square if you want to call it that was fucking atrocious with Nick that we saw in was it early third episode, late second episode talking to Kate? So late mid to late episode three Nick and Kate are talking

first thing I notice is get your fucking flip flops off the couch dude that drove me nuts but he says I love you like 10 fucking times and you know exactly what he's doing because every single person he's talked to is the same exact fucking playbook

One, he has to continue to reiterate, I'm a man. I'm going to fight for you as a man this, as a man that, which tells me again, you're really insecure about yourself. He keeps saying stupid shit like that. I love you. I love you. I love you. And he's just so horny.

Yeah, he really is. That's the weirdest thing is, and like no disrespect to people who are Christian or, you know, love God or whatever. fine to each their own well yeah if you actually have the ideals of Jesus and God yeah if you're gonna be talking about all of that and then in the same breath make a dick joke or tell Kate by the way you know

I feel like was it Kate or Annie that he said you can go through my phone whenever you want the only thing you're going to find in there is weird group chat stuff and I'm like all right yeah that's fair talking about our dicks and whoa it's a little curvy today I don't no curly it's a little curly today it's a fucking pigtail what is this

we are nobody not once have I ever seen people talk about their dicks in dudes group chats we're in what three group chats together that should have been a red flag immediately absolutely these guys are talking about their dicks that's scary yeah like fucking run dude and like the more he was talking to kate and you know she's into it she's into him he continues to say things like will you let me fight for you that's what i'm going to do so there's a type of person that all dudes know right and it's this guy it's the in-cell fucking weasel that love bombs the shit out of women even though they're not into them confesses their love and because that other person's not into them and shuts them down they then call them a slut they act like they're the problem all women

are like this fuck women this that the other those this is that guy yep and they hide behind this veil of quote unquote Christianity again if you're a Christian do you boo-boo I'm not going to tell you what to do but this is not that no you are using god as a crutch to be gross and say to say to annie that you're going to go crank one out to her later yeah that's not very christian brother that's not in the bible no hey i'm going to go jerk off to you later annie and she's all into it too and he also and this is really important when he's talking to kate he asks about religion and she says you know we weren't ever really that religious and then my mom got cancer she had tumors all over her body it was awful and when she passed I had a conversation with my brother who was like hey if there's a god why on earth would he allow all of this to happen

reasonable context clues dude she's not a god person no and to go from that conversation one day to the next conversation did you catch that bug got it finally to go to the next conversation and while you're dumping her let's keep that in mind you're actively breaking up with this girl and moving on so that you can go be with Annie, you're telling her, wait a minute, you never said that you were never going to go back to God. He wasn't actually breaking up then. It was after that. I think he was still,

I think he was on with Annie. No, I think he was casting as many lines as he could and he was going to love on and blow. I think he was until the very end, but I think that at this moment, when she starts to just like kind of turn a little bit, and you can see when you go over to her pod

and she's sitting there like making a lot of faces. Like, what the fuck is this guy talking about? Because he flipped the switch. He flipped that switch. The mask came off. And as soon as she said something that was a little negative to what his ideals were, such as, I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to, I'm ever going to be able to have a relationship with God.

He flips. He's like, you never said that you would never do it. I didn't know that your heart was completely closed. I'm sorry, you're not a prophet. You're not a prophet. And you're not some fucking missionary. You're not a Christian, dude. That's going to go and like turn somebody into this or that or whatever.

And by the way, if this is somebody that you're going to marry, you can have the conversation like adults and say, hey, how do you feel about raising her kids Christian? if she's against it, that's probably not your wife. If you want to raise your kids, Christian, go find somebody else who will help. And don't berate her for that. Don't berate her because she has different ideals than you do. And it all makes so much sense when him and Annie sit down together and they start talking about it because their ideals match up perfectly, and it was a wild ride. It was so unfortunate.

I just want to wrap up the Kate thing real quick because watching the end of that scene, one, her leaving the room and going to, I believe that was Allie. Yeah, it was Allie. And being like, that guy fucking sucks. I'm like, thank God, you know that now. You could have been engaged to this asshole. But yeah, the fucking, and she calls out the love bombing, too. She's like, that felt a little love bombing.

And he gets irritated at that whole thing. That type of dude does that. When you check them on their shit, they get mad and act like you're the problem. And then they say that they're the victim. Like, Kate, at the end of this conversation, she's like, I'm really hurt. He's like, well, I'm really hurt too. Why? Why?

You're the fucking problem here because- I decided halfway through that the line wasn't going to work anymore. You were done. She was turning on you. You decided to break up with her. Yes. So why are you mad at her? It's so crazy.

It was so fucking crazy. And the way that he did that whole thing where he throws a fit, he's like, I didn't know. You never wanted to walk that. You never wanted to walk that path. Relax, dude. Yeah, right. Fucking chill out. And then he goes to Annie.

Throws Kate under the bus entirely. I think I didn't say her name, but he's like, you know, she threw some daggers. No, she didn't, you bitch. As soon as he starts that conversation with, she threw some daggers. That was it. Yeah. It was done. We're done with Nick.

He could have, if he even handled that. Nick, day one. I was already done with him anyway, but if he handled that a little bit better, there could have been some hope. At least something in there where it's like, all right, maybe you'll soften a little bit. Maybe it's just the fucking experiment that's getting to your head, and you're not that crazy. Instead, it gets worse and talking about her throwing daggers. She wasn't throwing daggers. She was just explaining where she's coming from.

She was making a lot of sense. And you could have been understanding of that, but you weren't. And you took offense to it and then ripped on her, broke. broke up with her and then said that it was her fault that this whole thing happened to Annie to get sympathy to then get that wheel rolling. Like, you know what? I'm just so happy.

I slept so much better because I knew I was going to be talking to you today. Fuck off. It's not at all what happened. That's the type. He's the type. That's what they do. And let's not forget the day prior

when asked about the religion thing, he said, I feel like I have kind of a quiet personal relationship with God. You're a fucking Bible-thumping, quote-unquote Christian. Yeah. That is the problem with organized religion. You're the problem.

Look in the mirror. And then you go to Annie, who is the same type of person as you. And we have this fucking insane. I cannot imagine people having these beliefs. And I definitely can't imagine people going in front of a camera for the world to see. This is Netflix. Everyone sees this. And saying, here's the question.

If our kids were LGBTQ plus, how would you feel? Annie's answer sucks. She goes, you know, I would love my kids no matter what, but I would ask them, like, do you know what you're getting yourself into? You sure you want to? It's not a choice. They immediately flipped to, where'd you get that idea? Who's telling you what to do? Who's in, it's the fucking indoctrination conversation.

And that is so ridiculous. There's somebody at school that's impacting you. Did you see a drag queen once? Like, that's exactly what it was. And the fact that they lie, I didn't expect them to line up to because once it started, I'm like, oh, fuck. But when Annie started with it, I'm like, oh, no, he's going to just back her up no matter what. One, he probably does believe this. Two, this is his last shot.

And that's the type of guy that realizes, well, I got to get engaged to somebody. So I might as well just pick her. So even if whatever she says is off the wall, completely bad shit crazy, he's probably going to agree with her at this point. So it was just the perfect storm of shitty conversation. It was awful. And he goes, I just feel like it's a fad. So now being gay is a fad. that this is that type

Nick is the problem with the world it's these guys these white quote unquote Bible thumping fucking in cells that blame everyone else for their problems

for being piece of shit human beings so Nick I hope you never find love I hope you don't have kids to fuck them up we do really need I don't even give a shit about what the rest of their life looks like but neither what we need now is a big controversy.

I need one of them to cheat. Oh, my God, yes. I need it like I need air. Yeah, I... Because we do need at least one couple. I would love to. I'd love two to really root against. But this one is prime.

Oh, dude. There's something terrible to happen, and I want to watch the fallout, and I want to eat my popcorn and enjoy myself. Me too. Because they both suck. I can't wait for the hypocrisy to shine through of this quote-old- Now, there is a chance. because of how this is going, that they are the, we're the perfect couple, and they start judging everybody else.

Oh, yeah. Which we're going to have to endure, so just bear with it. Eventually something's going to happen and it's going to crumble. I'm okay if somebody gets left at the altar. That's not really what I want. I'd rather just full definition of cheating. Or maybe Nick sends a picture of his dick to his boys or something. Definitely unsolicited dick picks people.

Yeah, yeah, probably dudes too. And that might be actually where this whole thing comes from. You want to hear my honest opinion? Yeah. I think Nick's gay. He might be gay. That's a possibility, yeah. That's where all of this is coming from.

So, yeah. So we do at least, that's an okay byproduct is we've got a couple to just actively root against. I can't wait to hate watch them. Yeah. I almost said hate fuck. Oh boy. I'm fired up. I was so pissed off watching that.

I was like, who liked this guy on the show? It's also just, it sucks too, because it's one of those shows where we're like, yeah, it's just a happy-go-lucky fun. And this guy. Weird experiment. and then you get guys like this. I thought Mike was going to be the worst. I thought Mike being a douchebag the whole time. I was like, you know what?

If he's just a dickbag and he's a fuckboy, fine. He's a run-of-the-mill douchebag. There's a run-of-the-mill douchebys. Maybe he doesn't get picked. Maybe I have a smile on my face when he, everything comes crumbling down and he goes to his confessional and says, I'll be fine. That'll make me fucking laugh and I'll have a great time with that. This is better.

This is primed to be a hate watch of these two, and I can't wait for that. Yeah, I'm excited. Because I, so far, Every other couple has really stolen me away. I wasn't crazy about any of the couples when they first started talking. Now where we are, I'm rooting for all of them. So am I. I'm actually rooting for this actively against.

I'm 100% in the same boat. Like, it's such a weird feeling of like I love 90% of the people on the show. And it's not even like I disliked. I fucking hate them. I despise them with every fiber of my being. And I think it's probably because they embody. cool too is we did have the gateway hate for Nick because of how dumb he was and how many dumb jokes he made and all the weird like self deprecation and things and we're like I hate guys

like that yeah and he does something like this and it's like oh I actually don't like you as a person too yeah it's even better perfect that's so much better now I don't feel bad about just judging your weird ass personality you're just actually an asshole you're just a piece of shit and like love watching him interact with the guys and they're already up on it they know what the deal is they're like dude yeah Brendan was like maybe I need to rethink think my or maybe I misjudged it if like that's the other guy she's into yeah pretty much honestly and that's the worst part too and this tells you everything that you really need to know about nick and you know Mike as well when Brendan sitting down talking about it and at this point

I'm assuming it's day eight day nine they've been together a lot they've heard each other talk they know who they're talking to to hear Brendan just say I don't fucking get it like I thought we were doing well and it seems like maybe there's another guy I don't really know but something happened and now it's not going to work for us Nick sits now right next to him not only sat next to him to listen, which, you know, just stop, like walk away with your fucking tea. But also tries to give him advice and tells him he's going to be okay. My life's going to be so boring that you guys saying stupid shit all the time. Yeah, right, sure.

I'm sure, honestly, just based off of who that guy is when he's around the dudes. Who was it? Dylan got up again. Dylan's just all over the place. Can't wait to meet Dylan. I don't know anything about him. But Dylan gets up and he's like, hey, you know where to find us, man. Like, all right, see ya.

Yeah, fucking weirdo. Like, weirdo. Like, go back to Dylan or wherever the fuck. That's where he's from, too. He's from Dylan Denver. Dylan Denver. Dylan, that's a great, poor name. Dylan Denver.

For a guy and a girl. Not to be confused with Andrea Denver. Yeah, I... Who's Andrea Denver? Is that a... What do you mean? That's Andrea's last name from... Oh, it is Denver.

Okay, yeah. Remember it because you like the Denver Nuggets? You just like subtly dropped like a porn star name. No. Like, who the fuck is that? We don't talk about it. that's a group chat. No,

you just send curly dick pics. That's the biggest red point. Well, he said that, dude. Oh, my God. I literally thought through

every group chat up in and I was like, I don't think anyone's ever referenced their dick. Oh. Not one time. We say some weird shit, sure.

You could say bricked up, but usually bricked up is in response to the Eagles winning. Yeah, like a great fucking touch. Hey, I'm heading down to the Phillies game tonight,

really bricked up. Yeah, red October. Bricked up for a lot. Am I actually hard? Yeah, probably. Maybe.

I'm not going to set a picture. event. That's different. It's not even sexual. It's just adrenaline. I mean, it is sexual in a way, but it's, it's, it's right. If you're from Philly, you understand. If you're not, you need to go to a Red October baseball game. There is, this is totally a side tangent. We've both been to multiple big sporting events, right? Nothing compares to the energy of Red October. No. Not one thing. So anyway, all in all, this is a great watch. It's a great show. If you're not watching and you're listening to us one thank you that's very nice you but two do yourself a favor you can even throw it on the bat you don't have to tune in for every conversation like a lot of bravo and there's a lot of things

kind of pop it off right now but yeah this is a good one to just throw on one and a half times the speed one and a half times and the other thing is like you don't need to key in for every convo you also don't really need to watch because they don't even get to see each other so why should we get to see them well now you're not promoting the show no i meant like you could just like oh listen the audio yeah the first episode i told you i put it on my lawnmower and i was cutting my lawn whilst watch. I do it while I work. I just kind of have it on and I just listen to the conversations and, you know, if somebody makes a weird dick joke

or something, I stop and I look at who's talking. Yeah, and it's usually Nick. Wait, what the fuck? Yeah, exactly. So, um, for the majority of the couple, let's try to list off the couples we have. All right? So we got Anton and Allie, obviously. Yep. Um, you've got Evan and Claibria.

Mm-hmm. Top tier, number one. Yep. Uh, you've got Nick and Annie, unfortunately, but fortunately for everybody else on the planet, those two found each other and they won't fuck anybody else up let's see Patrick and Casey

obviously I'm rooting for them then you got Megan still in the love triangle that literally is a rom-com dude you got like this the goofy fun younger dude and then you got the older just like your ex-guy make the right choice you've seen the movie Megan seen the movie I'm gonna assume that she picks Jordan

but like I can I don't know man she's gonna throw us through a loop and then do the pragmatic thing and be like well he can provide and like I do really well And that is pretty much like what she said she wanted, honestly, when she first walked in there. So we watched a metamorphosis. Will it actually come to fruition? Who knows?

If it doesn't, then we have another couple to root against. Yeah, which would be great. I would root against them hard. But here's the best way to put that one up is she tries to give Jordan BDE. She goes, let me guess. BD. He goes, nope. SDE.

So small. Like, great. That's a funny joke. That's good. Yep, that's in the context. If she said that to Mike, he'd be like, it's huge. Yeah. It's massive.

Oh, why don't you come over here and find out? Yeah, let me poke it through the wall here. The sauna. Yeah. It actually gets bigger of the sauna. Yeah. It's actually kind of a medical condition. What, yeah, I'll keep going.

But anyway, who else do we have? Did you say Joe? Joe and Madison, Casey and Patrick, uh, Mike, Megan, and Jordan, and Jordan. Mm-hmm. Annie and Nick. Kate. Kate is the outlier. Kate's the outlier.

And then, of course, Ed's going to end up being an outlier unless she has somebody else. But I like, I don't know. So I'm not really sure if they're going to have like a clean cut. I hope they don't because I do like the idea. And I'm going to get lost in the sauce, of course, of the next couple of episodes, just kind of learning new people's names, probably. But I would love it if somebody that we knew who didn't really couple up in the first couple episodes ends up talking again. maybe not coupling up, but at least gets a second shot somewhere in here.

Kate, Kate. So Kate could work because she's been through some weird shit. Maybe one of the dudes, like, maybe Mike ends up going because, like, Jordan gets selected, but then we get to see how Mike's interacting with other people. I don't know. That could be kind of funny. I just don't know if they're going to do, like, a hard break. Like, all right, this is what happened.

Megan took Jordan, so Mike's on his way out. And then they start sending people home. Then it's Kate's going home. Mike's going home. Brendan's going home. I don't think they're going to do that. I don't think they're going to do that. like a big thing until the end of this batch,

which will be the next three episodes that come out on Monday. Yeah, I would love if Jordan gets picked and then we get the inevitable Mike confessional of, I'm better than every guy here. Yeah. This is all beneath me anyway. Like, I'm going to go and live my life

and watch him like walk out dejected. It would be sick. The way that I see it happening is these next three episodes on Wednesday. I'm sorry, we're going to cover the episodes five and six. We'll get that out before next Wednesday. That's when we'll take questions from you guys.

We will have to see how it goes. I would imagine episodes, the way it's going, though, like, are we going to do just the beginning? It's going to be, this is what's going on. We get Casey and Patrick's first meet. Then we get the final of what's going on with Sparkle Megan. Are there 12 episodes? Are you talking about the next two?

I'm talking about the next two that we're going to cover, yeah. I think we're going to wrap up. We're going to wrap up this. And then episode six, most of episode five, and then episode six would be new. people or that next batch on wednesday which is three episodes is going to be new people continued i don't know see you know how else it could work we might get a couple newbies sprinkled in in the next two in five and six and then there might be a lot of people that there's just no need to cover it yeah it might be that yeah we could be getting into that and the next three are all them living together

that makes the most sense to me and then you get the finale episode i think well that would be 13 episodes That's, so. Oh, there's 13. I don't know if there's 13 or, let's see. We can at least do that. Look it up and we'll figure out how many there are. 12. 12.

Okay, so we're going to get a new batch. 5 and 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, lived together, 12 finale. I guess, yeah. And then 12 will be, like, will they actually get married? There's 14 episodes in season 9, according to Cosmopolitan yesterday. Okay, so everything I just said is out the window. I don't know. So I have no fucking...

We're going to have to learn a lot of new people. Including the reunion episodes. So I think what we're going to get is... This is, like, awesome podcasting by us. You guys like this? Yeah, you guys are really enjoying this. So I think what we're going to get is three episodes on Wednesday. We'll get three more the week after.

So this upcoming three episode drop is probably the end of the pods. And then the ninth episode is going to be them moving into their houses and like a little check in here. the next three after that will be them all living together. 10, 11, 12, 13. And then 13 will be a standalone the next Wednesday, which will be the final of who's at the altar and who's not, and then 14 the week after will be the reunion. That's what it's going to be, in my mind.

Oh, that's steadfast? I'm not going to go down this road again. Move me wrong. I can't. I'm not going down this path again. We'll just wait and see. Maybe. Maybe.

Maybe. I'll take it maybe. Anyway. Anyway. Great show. Yeah. We'll check it with you guys before next Wednesday. Maybe I'll get the phone line. I've been wanting to do that hotline thing where you guys can call in.

Maybe I'll do it for this. That could be really funny. I wanted to do it for our member shows and our news one as well. So maybe I'll look into that finally and get that up and running so we can hear you guys, leave some voicemails for us. And we'll play it. If we like it, if it's funny, we'll play it on the air, on the air, on the episode. And yeah, anyways, keep watching this show. If you're not watching, like we said, put it on the background.

It's totally worth it. but that's all I got. You got anything else? Nope. That's our show, bro, has got to go. Hi, I'm here to tell you about good morning Night Vale. Welcome to Night Vale's official recap show
