What's up, everyone? It's Chicks in the Office with Rianne Fren, giving you that Friday energy on a Wednesday. Trent is back. And we are so excited.

Trent, we miss the shit out of you. and we're so happy to have you here. I missed you guys too. It's very exciting to be back. I miss the first couple weeks. We've been traveling a lot with the other with the golf podcast, but it's good to be back. The golf podcast. He doesn't even mention it by name.

You know, a little show where we talk about golf. We talk about golf on that show sometimes. Actually, these days, sometimes we know, we just talk about whatever. That's the best. We label it a golf podcast. It really is the best. But no, it's good to be back. I just had that NASA guy.

Yeah, so one of the themes on that show, Frankie is, Frankie in particular, is obsessed and terrified of space. Rightfully so with those new picks that came out. I get it. And it's, I actually, I found those pictures to be like awesome and awe-inspiring. They scare Frankie, but he somehow got connected. He's a little bit of a scared cat. He is. One of the guys that listens to the show, his uncle is one of the main guys, like, who built the telescope and put it all together.

I'm completely blank on his name right now, which is incredibly disrespectful. But he's a great guy, and he's come on our show twice now. Oh my guy, he's been on your show twice and you can't remember his name? It's really, it's late. It's late.

We'll give him the, you're right. You're right. So first he came on the show, and we asked some of these questions about the telescope, and I was like, I don't, you know, I'm excited about it,

but let's see these pictures. That's what I really want to see. Pictures came out, and I was blown away by him, and we had him back on. And he just answers all of our stupid questions. He's great. But I don't know how,

we got on that. But I'm excited. We're happy for you. We're happy that you're back is really what we're trying to say. I'm excited to be here and I'm excited. Yeah, enough talking about your other podcast. I'm sorry. I'm excited to talk about The Bachelorette. We are excited as well. We are, we're recording late tonight, which is we kind of did a little switcheroo here because we keep promising that Trent's going to be back on the podcast and then we realize Trent would not have been available if we recorded on Tuesday. Yeah, we had to shoot a video. So we made him say extra late.

So we're here now recording late instead of that. And that kind of, you know, also switched up my plans of recording on Ria's actual birthday, Tuesday, July 26th. And therefore, I have switched the birthday celebration to right now. Yep. We've had it all night. So it's a big, this is a, we've birthified, birthdayified the studio. Yes. Because it's my girl, big Ries day.

Thank you. Oh my God. Everyone hates me except you guys. So it's great. No. Oh, it's a happy birthday. 25. Thank you so much.

I'm so excited. I hope Noah cuts a video of, um, he takes the clip that he put out on TikTok where everyone got mad at you about talking about birthdays. And he uses that clip and then just then post this. Yeah. And then it's just like, Ria really fucking loves her birthday. You don't like, or you don't like people who like birthdays? Was that the clip?

No, no. No, my clip. People are very bad at me on TikTok. Yeah. And also this is a podcast where people are going to talk about things. Yeah. For some reason. People can't grasp that.

And they're like, what is it your place to say anything anyway? And it's like, I don't fucking know. Okay, we talk about nothing here, all right? We're meaningless. We just talk about nonsense all the time. All right. That's what a podcast is. But we put out a clip where I was talking about how I don't like when people, here we go again.

People are going to get mad again. Everyone hates me anyway today. Whatever. It's fine. That I don't like when people like overly are like, oh my God, it's my birthday month or like hate their birthday. Like, why can't. to just be like you fall somewhere in between fall somewhere in your between like you like your birthday on your birthday to give context i did say like i'm not a birthday

guy at all and then she was directing it at me but i just cut out my part no i just kind of so like it's me talking about like it looks like ria just brought it looks like ria just like rhea just like i actually fully agree with what you're saying like it's just like it's your birthday be happy you're like be happy on your birthday maybe the day before like i feel like trent's not a big birthday guy but you like your birthday and he just said he agreed with rio so i know i know but i like my i definitely i definitely skew more to that side of like it's not a big deal like don't worry but like but I don't I won't I know the type of person you're talking about that's just like I don't care like those doesn't even bring it up and then somehow it gets brought

up and they get weird about it like that I'm not that person okay well watch what you say because something may have something made traumatic have happened on their birthday turns one of the comments all the comments are like well what is something traumatic happened on your birthday okay I'm sorry I wasn't thinking like that all right we're talking of every single person on a podcast it's hard to keep every single person on earth in mind. Extroverts are clueless. Yeah, yeah. That's what people are saying.

Like, oh, my God, extroverts have no idea what it's like to live in an introverted body. Did your dad dying your birthday? Well, mine did. Yeah, this is the, and then people are like, not everyone loves attention, Rhea. It's like, we get it. Ria loves attention. That's what everyone always says about me. Yeah, I like a little tension.

And so do you. I hate to admit it. Yeah. Everyone loves a little tension. Even the people who say they don't, Noah. Big facts. I don't deny that sometimes. Exactly.

That's what I'm saying. everyone loves a little attention, whatever. So people are really upset with me. That's not why I said everyone hated me, but yeah. Okay, we have, I did, I was going to give you your presence on Tuesday. You know, they're here now. This is one, but it's kind of like a joke gift. This is like the ha-ha gift.

I love a joke gift. Not wrapped because, you know, I feel very special being involved with this. Okay, good. I would be so upset if you were here. And you'll understand the joke. Okay. Great. I would have wrapped this, but you know, plans changed.

I don't care about people rapping gifts. Okay, good. Okay, good. This is for you. Oh, my God! I love that! Wait, that's so funny. I meant...

Oh, my, I'm such an idiot. Thank you so much, first of all. I couldn't believe we didn't buy when we were there. I'm so excited to wear this to bed tonight. I bought a Portland tank top the other day, and I meant to wear it today. Yeah. And it completely slipped my mind, but I bought a Portland tent top and I was going to wear it on my birthday.

For those that are listening, it's a IHart Portland T-shirt. This is amazing. Thank you so much. That's a great gift. This is a great gift. Good. Thank you. Now, you two fill in the space here.

All right. This is awkward. Fran is now, Fran's got more gifts. Did you miss me? I did. I miss doing this podcast. I swear to God. I miss doing this podcast because it's just so much different than the other podcasts that I do.

It's just, it's nice to come in all the podcast. It doesn't get named. It's the Foreplay podcast. That would be like if Ria went on Foreplay and was like, yeah, I was doing the pop culture podcast. That pop culture podcast that I sometimes appear on. It's, I'm going to leave it in the big wrap so you can take it home. Oh my God. That is an awesome gift, Fran. Here it is.

Wow. She cares about me. She really cares about me. Oh, that's nice. That's really nice. Wow, Fran. That's fucking awesome. These are awesome.

They're really cool. This is really awesome. So you know what reminded me, remember when we were playing trivia and that girl had the fine line poster behind her when we were playing trivia? I was like, I got to find something like that. And I bought it like on the spot. You can't see you. So once again, for those who are listening and not watching, it's a poster of, it's Wave Room. If you've seen them on Instagram, they're pretty popular.

But it's fine line by Harry Styles. And it's like each song from the album. It's like the sound waves. The wave files. Yes, the wave files. It's very cool. That is really thoughtful, Fran. Thank you so much.

It's very cool. I mean, I... This is one of the nicest gifts I've ever gotten in my life. Well, that's very nice. Thank you. Oh, my God. You can't see under my sunglasses, but I am tearing up. And I feel like you're, I feel like sometimes, I feel like your room at home could be, like,

reified a little bit. It could. It's like a guest room. No, yeah. I just sleep in there occasionally. No, this is really awesome. Thank you so much. You're welcome.

It seriously is one of the best. gifts I ever got on. Oh my gosh, you're welcome. After Dobby. Yeah. Yeah. Did you get me anything? Oh, no. No and I are still looking. We're still shopping. Are you trying to take me? I was I thought you were trying to put it down. You keep trying to grab it. I thought you were trying to put it down. I was like, I'm just going to try to help you. I was maybe going to get you like some candy or something tomorrow, but then I had short notice of like. Okay. No, it's fine. I'll just remember this year. There was only like five hours in between when we. It's a thought that counts a bro. I'm not going hold it against you because Fran, I'll put it back on the table. Nothing was going to top Fran's

gift anyway. I really do. I look at those so frequently. That was the most terrifying. I'm not going to hold it against you, but I am. Oh yeah. No, I'm really not. Those come up on my Instagram story directed ads all the time because I'm always looking at them. I get them now after I bought one. Totally. Now that gets the other ones. They've got them for everybody. There's good Kanye ones. There's Mac Miller ones. That's very cool. I like those. That's really awesome. His favorite album of all time. Is it? Wow. I would say it's up there. Maybe not your favorite of all time but no it probably is my favorite album of all time yeah and that's how you know she knows me yeah i love your man of a amount of listens yeah oh but definitely highest amount of listens definitely has the

highest amount of listens that's awesome thank you so much well we love you and we want you to have the best birthday ever god i love you guys and i'm excited for you to be on the other side of uh headed in the other direction yeah we were talking about this i i already mentioned this on the podcast before yeah you're pumped about 20 listen i don't want to uh you know take too much attention myself, but I am excited to be 25 because I've been, I've said this to you and it made sense to you. It may not make sense to the people listening, but maybe you can clarify it for them. I said to you, I've been young for so long. Like in other people's eyes here, like I've just been the young person. The reaction is always, oh, well, she's so young. Yeah, and everyone's always

been older than me. Yeah. But they're still older than me. No, they're still older than me. But now I'm like, people maybe won't look down upon me in a way that I'm so young. Yeah, yeah. She's so young. I mean, here for sure. I mean, what? I probably met you when you were 19. Yes.

And that was six years ago. Right? Like when I mean, that's so yeah, you were all, I mean, you were obviously very young to me. You're very young to the company when you first started. And then now, you're 25 now. You've just been around. I'm a grown up. I'm very happy about it.

Good. Some people, we talked about this. They fear aging. Close to 30. I welcome it. That's fine. I welcome all the chapters of life. Good. That's beautiful.

Thank you. I know everyone's going to be listening to this. And so I'm like, I'm thinking, oh, everyone, you know, go wish her happy birthday. You can still do it on Wednesday if you forgot to do it on Tuesday. People have been wishing me happy birthday like every single day. Oh, good. And it's still not my birthday yet. Like family members.

Oh, wow. People that like should know that it's actually too safe. Maybe we can clean this up a little bit. Yeah. Okay, good. Well, thank you. I love you. We love you.

Thank you. Happy birthday. That was nice. Noah. Yeah, finally. Anyways. Let's go. That's the dynamic I missed the most where I'm not here.

Noah just sitting over there like, yeah. Yeah. So without Trent here, we have been doing some topics and mixing up Bachelorette on the Wednesday episodes. Today we are just going to go straight into Batsarret. Trent is here. We're going to jump back in. We'll catch up on everything that we missed on Friday. There are some things that we've got to talk about some Britney Spears shit that's

going on. We're going to talk about it on Friday. We can do full Bachelorette right now. And we have an interview with Corbyn Blue. So much fun. Corbyn was so great. Really great interview. If you are a high school musical fan like we are. Yes, exactly. It was a lot of fun

and he was in studio, so that was great. But let's kick it off with the Bachelorette. We have been talking a lot about concerts recently and shows.

Okay, guys, pretty exciting episode, I would say. A lot happens. As far as, like, activity. A lot went down.

Yeah, what did you, so I haven't been here. What did you guys think just briefly of the first two weeks, the two bachelor's format? I will say it's been a bit of a mess, I think. Yeah, it was a little, it was a little bit of a mess that it seemed unorganized. And it just, because there were so many guys, it felt like the first two weeks, not a lot of growth was happening. Agreed. And now this week, they're getting down, down to business. Yeah.

It feels like. Like the first two weeks, everyone was kind of like how, what's going to be? going on here? How's it going to go down? I felt like we went two and a half episodes where nobody really understood the format. And then they finally, and we'll get to it at the end, where, you know, they had to pick which, which bachelorette they wanted to spend time with and that. I think that's going to be great for everybody in the show. But two and a half episodes in, I was like, I just don't know what guys into what bachelorette. And that's a confusing place. Yeah, I think that we were, even though it was kind of slow and a little messy, we were more on our toes than we usually would be

at the beginning of a season, like the first two episodes are usually pretty boring. Yeah. So even though these were kind of a little boring, it was also very interesting because we don't know the format. Yeah, I guess I don't think anyone knows the format. Yeah, and I don't think I dislike it. They still don't know the format. Right.

It seems like they're kind of making it up on the go. Yeah. But I, it was messy, but I have not disliked it. I mean, it's certainly been strange and confusing and probably not a great position for Gabby or Rachel. Right. But in terms of television, just not knowing what's going to happen has been pretty interesting. Right.

In the sense that they had a formula that was becoming a little stale and they very much changed it up. And so people are very curious and interested to see what happens, kind of at the expense of Rachel and Gabby's feelings. Because this is the first time they're doing it. So it's kind of like experiment season on how this is going to go down. So it just feels like they sort of threw these two to the wolves. And it was like, oh, you know, we'll see what happens. Oopsie Daisy. I guess they're making the rules.

Right. I could have swore. I saw whether it was an executive or somebody connected to the show that said, Oh, they did. We are going to have, we're not going to pit these two against each other. And we're going to have this figured out where it's just going to work. And then I was stunned when Jesse was introducing the season. And he was like, we've got two bachelorets.

We don't even know what's going to happen. I was like, you guys don't know? Yeah. That's pretty crazy. And so far they've been pretty pinned against each other. Maybe not directly, but just naturally with the format. And I give a lot of props to these two for still being as close as they are because, my God, this can really tear friendship apart the way that these guys are just picking and choosing which ones they want to be with. And in some way, you know, not everyone's going to be for everybody.

Some people have connections. Some people don't. But like some of these guys were just handling it the wrong way. Yeah. And I give a lot of props to these two because it has a lot to handle. Right. You can say you're not going to pit these two people against each other, but then not give any rules or regulations on what's happening. And two people trying to date out of the same pool is going to be chaos.

Male, female, whatever. If you're in a group of friends, a group of girlfriends and two of your friends kind of like the same guy, but they're really good friends and they don't want to make it weird. and then the guy ends up dating one of the girls like, it's awkward for everyone. And then put it on national television. Yeah, and the girl's like the other girl acts like it's fine, but deep down she's upset about it, but doesn't want to make a big deal because she's happy for her friend.

It's definitely confusing. And this episode certainly flipped because I think last week we were so focused on is this going to work for Rachel. And then this episode, Rachel was flying high, pilot pun. And insert laugh. And Gabby was the one that was struggling a little bit. So it does feel like it's going to go back and forth. But it started with these two one-on-one dates.

Rachel and Zach and Gabby and Eric had their two one-on-one dates. Rachel and Zach had maybe a picture-perfect bachelor one-on-one date after, you know, what happened last week for Rachel. And so it couldn't have gone better. you know, they go, they meet Karamo, they are going to a big Hollywood premiere. That's actually not a big Hollywood premiere. It's actually just the two of them watching home videos. They really had me thinking about the movie premiere. Because I was thinking, they said,

Trent first thought you were like, what movie? Yeah, I was like, what movie? I'll determine how excited I'm when I know a movie it is. And then I was thinking like, they shot this months ago. Like, what movies is it going to be? Because it's not going to be new to us now. It was new to them. And then it was their home movies.

I really did also think it was going to be a movie. Like, it so could have been a movie. movie. Easley could have been a movie. They're in Hollywood. Yeah. Movies are premiering all the time. All the time. You never know. Imagine they showed up like limo. Like I'm picturing entourage. That's exactly what of the limo and everyone snapping pictures. Yeah, that's exactly what did happen, but it was all fake. Yeah. Like it was just fake, fake, fake. It was a super cute date though. It was very cute. They are moving very fast, but in a good way it seems right now, You're both getting emotional watching their home videos. And it does feel like, you know, maybe could be a little too good to be true. At this point, I just feel like the guys who have perfect dates this early on, something always happens later.

But it went very well. And they are practically strangers looking at home videos and pictures of each other, which is kind of the worst situation to be stuck in. And it's just odd. Yeah. Like if I was with a stranger and I was watching home movies, I just be like, I don't know, man. And you like have to pretend that you think they're really cute. But probably was like, ah, they weren't that cute of a kid. My mom did it last weekend with Joe's mom.

Like, oh my God, I need to show you this video of Francesca. And I was like, mom, like, nobody. That's very, that's sweet. But like, no, she's not looking to watch the two-minute video of my fourth grade acting. class. Okay. Is everyone seeing this video besides me? When you come up to the vineyard, my mom will gladly show you. Thank God. Because let me tell you. Everyone's getting a peek except me. It's me. I'm the one telling her not to send it again on Saturday. She was like, let me send it to Ria. I said, no. Can you

believe this? It's, it's been an ongoing conversation. What a birthday present. That and the freaking dance video from Nella. It's like, I can't see these videos. I have a question about that dance video. If I were asking for it in the chat apparently. tonight. Is it? Because I know someone doesn't like attention.

Someone has access to it. Only Devin. Devin, okay. Some girls, by the way, have been like trying to use it as blackmail to get on trivia. They're like, we found your video.

And I'm like, if you found it, you would have sent it to me. So somebody that went to middle school with you, DM the chicks in the office account, I read. And she was like, I went to middle school,

Noah, here's his middle school name, like gave the name of your middle school. Oh my God. I searched up and down that middle school. And I still couldn't find it. Yeah. seven thank you for saying the name. I look seven bridges.

Yeah. People are probably better than Ria now. I mean, I don't know. Ria is pretty good at internet solution. So wait, it's out there and people just can't find it? It's on YouTube and I cannot find it. And I don't have access to YouTube. And somehow Devin found it and she won't show anybody.

Like, no, it does not have the ability to delete it. So it's just there and somehow we cannot find it. And we don't know the name of it. And it's the only one. And it's not under his name. She promised she wouldn't. And she won't show anybody. I've tried to pay her all.

off. I'm going to find this video. You're not, though. I'm going to find that idea. Can you please for the love of God? The middle school's name is seven bridges. Okay. But like, unless that was written in the description or title, it has nothing.

I think, I don't think it's going to help at all. How about Dev not telling you? That's interesting. That's a good trust. She's good. She's good at keeping secrets. All right. That's good.

That's a good quality to have. It's a great quality to have. Yeah. So moving on from that, it was a great date with, it was a great date with Zach. And then Gabby had a date with Eric where Grandpa John came and they went to a sound bath and they went bowling. Eric didn't really seem to chime in too much until later in the date. It was good to see Grandpa John.

Great to see Grandma John. He's a character. He's very funny. Great to see him. Likes to curse a lot. It seems. Underwhelming performance by Grandpa John. Oh, someone said it.

What do you mean? I didn't really want to. I was kidding. I just wanted to see everyone get mad at that. He's like he almost doesn't have to do much, but he is. he like says funny things. Yeah. And he gets cold in the back of Jeeps.

Poor guy. How old is he? I don't know. They say 78? I'm not sure. That's a number that popped into my head. I'm not sure if it's right. It's going to get higher than that.

I'm not sure, but they could have given them a car with like closed windows and a closed roof. Yeah, you don't need to put Grandpa John through that. No, you really, you really don't. But John needs insulation. Yeah. And he was a sorry. He fell asleep during the sound bath. It seemed like.

Peaceful. would have fallen asleep too. It seems like one of those activities where it's part of the process. That noise is just very soothing. It's like the noise you kind of hear when you're getting a massage. Yes. And it's just, it has a perfect rhythm where it's just like that circular. The frequency.

It's even. Yes. You know it's even. Yeah. Like it's coming back around every time, the same amount of time. Well, let's go to a sound bath. Yeah. I'm feeling very peaceful right now, just talking about it.

Yeah. And then all of a sudden it was a quick change to bowling. They were bowling and Grandpa John had a hot date that Gabby plucked from the crowd of the bowling alley so that they could go their separate ways and kind of each have their own moments. Grandpa John and Nonna need to hang out. They should. Why don't they do a split bachelor with Grandpa John and Nonna? Those two would really clean up. Yeah, they would.

Wow. Yeah. They need to do that senior bachelor that they've been talking about forever. It seems like it really went out the windows. They must not be doing it anymore. I was about to make a horrible joke. I think I know it. Yeah.

I do know. I think everyone can guess where you are going on. No, I know it. Yeah. I mean, you don't know. You put it. You couldn't infer from that. I kind of like missed what happened right before that.

Oh, you weren't listening? The producer of the podcast wasn't listening to the podcast. I was doing something on social. I was posting for this show. Uh, anyway. She's not going to say, because. people can get the joke. Anyway, some of them must have died off.

Yes, that was the joke. That was it. I still missed what you said before. Oh, right. So then he wasn't even... When you listen back, you'll hear it. You'll be like, oh, yeah, I got it now. It does seem like they just left Grandpa John in the bowling alley.

It does. They walked right out of there. He might have been Mackin on that lady. Who knows? Julie? Julia? I think that was her name. And they leave.

They go to dinner. and this process is clearly a lot for Gabby. I think she is feeling the pressure of having to open up with these guys. And also, she is saying I'm not comparing myself to Gabby, but at the same time, I mean to Rachel, but at the same time, she's like, oh, you know, well, I might have a little bit more in my past than Rachel. but I'm not comparing myself to Rachel but the guys, you know, that might be, it's very, it's very tough to watch because it really does feel like

they have to share their deepest insecurities and their life story and everything that makes them them and then this guy could be like, you know what? Now you told me that, I actually think I'd like to get to know Rachel.

And that sucks. That's unfair. And clearly that is what she's worried about. I don't really like your background Yeah. And it seems like the other one's got him more together. Right. Unfortunately,

unfortunately gives them options. Yeah. Which is like not great. No, it's sad because you think like if I was in Gabby's shoes, you hear Eric talking about this relationship that his parents have and they've been together for 28 years, I think he said. Or was that Zach? Oh, boy. Maybe Eric. Eric was, anyway, Eric was talking about his parents and being in that relationship.

and then it went to, you know, Gabby talking about her relationship with her mom. And I do think she really gets in her head in those situations. Yeah. And she had to walk away from the conversation. I don't know. I don't know why Eric didn't get up to check on her at any point. He just sat there. It was very uncomfortable to watch while she talked to producers. Yeah, it was weird.

And Eric's got that stupid haircut. I just... Yeah. It's like a mullet, but not a mullet. Right. He's in a bad in-between spot. Like he wants a mullet. but it's not there yet.

And then he's, Gabby's trying to have this very serious conversation with him. And he's just got that haircut. He's not giving much to. He really wasn't giving thought-provoking response. I mean, it is very hard to be in that other seat when someone is telling you,

you know, their story and you don't know these things. And it's a first date. But he definitely could have been a little more responsive. A little bit more. It did work out, though, because he did get a rose. So I do think Gabby likes it. Yeah.

Yeah, I do think Gabby likes him. So there is a connection there for sure. The group date was a photo shoot. Everybody, large, biggest group date ever. Franco was back. The girls were in their wedding, wearing wedding dresses, the whole shebang. You know, we've seen this done time and time again. It's maybe the most unoriginal group date that they do.

I actually think they're messing with us now. I really do. They just keep doing this. same shit. We say this every year. You in particular, Fran, because I agree with you. And it's, it's just so unoriginal, but they just keep running it back. Even with two bachelets. Yeah. Kelly Keeks mentioned a really great point where she said, you know, when you get engaged, it's such a special moment. And it's like you have this one picture or a couple of that moment. And now they are just going to have multiple fake proposals. You're looking at my nails.

I am. They're reflecting in the light so beautifully. Like, they're shining in the light. Thank you. You're like a mermaid. Now they're going to have these photos that live on forever of them with random people that they are not getting engaged to. So true. So it's just kind of awkward. And Nate really went all out. Nate gave a beautiful fake proposal.

And I feel like that is great. But it's also like save some of the juice for later. And also, I know I've said this on past seasons. it feels very fake. Yeah. You know what I mean? Because those feelings, that grand proposal, you're drumming up right now, what's it going to be when the real one comes?

You almost don't want them to be able to summon that type of feeling. How are they good at acting then? Right. And Tyler, Tyler, I think, proposed to, did the fake proposal like Gabby. And he, in his mind, he's like, I don't even like Gabby. Right, right. He told, he was the first one to tell Gabby after the date was over that he was, He actually liked Rachel.

Oh, my God. It's such a mess. Such a mess. So then they go to, um, were these two separate dates or all the same date? The same date. Then they went to Sofi. Oh, with the Rams.

Yeah. Yeah. Ram's player. You familiar with that? Yeah. Yeah. That's where the Rams play. Yeah.

They just built it. Yeah. Super Bowl. I think it is. Yeah, they had a Super Bowl there. Football. Big game. Oh.

The big game. I think. Home run. I think that all was one date. Yeah. Pretty sure. Yeah. Because things were going really well for Rachel.

She is kissing guys. She's sitting on that couch. She stopped Avin mid-sentence to start kissing him. Like she definitely is, I think, like, you know, feeling herself a little bit more on this date. And she also was a great makeout with Tino. I will say that the kisses, and I think, you know, it felt like maybe she had it more with Tino and some of the other guys. Duh. The kisses we talked about this watching,

the kind of more like slow, shy kisses on this show, I feel like you're much better off than just going right in with tongue. And like the Love Island went on the first challenge. They are, tongues are down each other's throats. And you're like, I don't even know you. Tong makeouts are not for on camera. Let's be honest.

because it's pretty wild like tongue makeouts are great but on camera they don't really translate visually it's it's there's a lot going on there is a lot going on so it may feel good and it makes the noises right right right right like nice little love bites are beautiful who was that was that Matt no no Matt was eyes open

eyes open no Josh oh Josh yeah and Amanda Josh and Amanda oh wow from paradise they were so those cases were brutal to listen to him They really were. So the, everything's going well for Rachel. Oh, no. Then it was like, yeah. Yeah, it was like a little, little snake.

Yeah. A little lizard. Oh, boy. Gabby starts to have a tough time because all these guys start coming up to her and saying, like, that they are more focused on Rachel. Starts with Tyler and then it goes to Hayden. Hayden says Gabby's a little rough around the edges. Hayden stinks. You got to like, I assume if you're about.

to have that talk, you are repeating what you want to say in your head. And if he thought up of that line and in his head thought, yeah, that's definitely a good thing to say. Crazy. He should not be able to look like grocery store Joe. Like he should have to go under facial reconstruction because of what he said to Gabby. Not our sweet show. No.

No. Yeah. Like when is, it's certainly, it's really not that appropriate ever to say to someone, but it's certainly not appropriate to say to someone that you. Pretty much just met. And also, he just wants wallpaper. Like, what do you mean she's rough around the edges, Hayden? She doesn't look like a LinkedIn profile picture like you do?

Like, I'm just... Fuck, yeah. He is... That's exactly what he looks like. I was taking him more as, like, her personality. No, no, I'm... That is what he's saying, but I'm just saying. Everything about Hayden is a little, like...

Yeah. Vanilla wallpaper. People were commenting that he looks like, if you were to manufacture just, like, a fake LinkedIn profile. I love that. I love that diss. That's what Hayden would be. That's a good one.

That is a good one. Jacob then said that if Jacob said that if he, if it was just Gabby, he would have left. Brutal, you just don't have to say that. Speaking of grocery store Joe, we had a good tweet after that happened. He wrote,

if it were just you in the house, I would have left by now. Smooth. Right. That's just, well, yeah, that's definitely going to go. That's, that's definitely going to go over well. Why say that? Like, there is a way to tell somebody that you don't have a connection with them.

That's not, hey, listen, if it was just you on this planet, I would kill myself. If we were on a desert island, it just, I wouldn't happen. I wouldn't even look in your direction. Nope. Like, that's awful. It is, it is pretty wild that they, that they said that. Just met these people. I know.

It's crazy. It really is crazy. And you could tell, like, Gabby, Gabby was having that. moment of the guys aren't really talking to me you know they she we saw her go and visit the house which by the way it was kind of like a weird thing to do yeah but i guess it was like the bros were just broing out playing football yeah i yeah if you like during rachel's date she was like i'm just gonna go kick it with the guys and they all kind they didn't really talk to her too many guys there's too many guys no there was a football there was a football there oh yeah that's a real problem

i fall i've fallen victim to that as well there's a football around a bunch of guys That's the only thing we're paying attention to. Throw that thing around. Look at that. Spiral back. It's like one of the dogs. He's being butter. 100%.

We just want to throw that football around. It's so much fun. Throwing a football is so much fun. Gabby and Rachel, though, are such catches. They really are both of them. And so you're just like, who gives these guys the right to not want to be with either of them? But then you're like, okay, well, you know, sometimes just connection's not there.

Chemistry's not there. Not everyone is going to be for everybody. But then you're just like, really, who gives them the right? I know. We're putting the power in like meatballs's hands. That's the way that this show has gone in that direction. So Gabby does not give out her a rose at the group date. And Rachel gives one to Avin.

And the guys are all pretty surprised. And they sort of talk like, oh, like, how did everybody's conversations go? They realized sort of what happened. Gabby tells Rachel also what happened. Rachel's very upset. She's like, you want me? She's like, you want to go talk to them? You want me to go talk to them? She's ready to yell at them. And we could almost tell from kind of how the rose ceremony went, I would think that she was very turned off by those words from Hayden and Jacob. But this sparks the conversation of like, all right, we can't keep going in this format. It's not going to work for all of us to just be, all of them to be dating both of them and kind of like playing both sides. Now it's kind of the point where they say, hey, we have to pick sides. Sometimes shopping for skincare can be hard because you want something that is made for you. We all want that glowing skin and it can feel impossible to know where to start.

Because Jesse Palmer comes out and tries to, like, give his dramatic moment, which he just doesn't have. he's good he just doesn't have the the

Genesee qua it is it is the Genesee Quas it's just like he doesn't have the effect I tweeted and I'm not saying I want this just putting it out there I tweeted imagine Jesse Palmer Just cancel me

Imagine Jesse Palmer Walked out with Chris Harrison was like guys honestly I cannot even handle this We're gonna have to bring this guy back to this one Man TV. Like, we're just going to have to forget everything and bring him back for this moment because things are messy and we need to figure it out. It's, yeah, I agree with you, Fran, that like, he knows.

You guys are afraid to even laugh at that. I laughed at that. You guys are afraid to even laugh at that. It'd be pretty incredible if that happened. He know, Jesse knows that it's a big moment and he just, I don't, yeah, I don't, I actually don't know how to describe it, but it just doesn't land. It doesn't. And I like Jesse.

Yeah. And I think he's been doing a pretty good job. He's just giving nothing. He could be a nice guy while also giving nothing. I don't know if it's something you can give. No, it is. It's a charisma. I just don't know how you could do it differently to make it.

Watch back the tapes. He's got to start watching some film. Yeah, it's just he comes out and he says, because I love a canceled cocktail party. Yeah. It's, almost nothing gets me more excited than a canceled cocktail party. He comes out and he says,

you guys have been a bunch of fucking assholes. Yeah. And we are not letting you see the women until the rose ceremony. Cancel the cocktail party. I love that. I almost want a shirt that just says cancel the cocktail party. But we can make those. That's actually great merch.

I actually think that's a good shirt. I'll wear that today. No, I'll write that down. Cancel the cocktail party. But yeah, there's just something about it that, you know, it's a big moment and it's just for some, for whatever reason, it doesn't land. Yeah. And the guys are all nervous, right?

Gabby, Gabby has a great line. after that group date. She says, I'm not here to teach dudes how to act. Like, she's like, per- Yeah. That's a great line. She is the bachelor's, for God's sakes. Right.

Put some respect in her name. Yep. And this is the moment we've been waiting for where these guys are going to have to separate. We know it's coming. We can't be, these guys, we can't go through the season with these men thinking that they can just have all the power and hop back and forth between the two bachelettes. And you kind of, Rachel, sort of alluded to that when she was talking to Gabby upset about what was going down with giving out the roses. But basically, they now have a certain amount of roses to give out to guys that they would like to continue dating.

If they turn down the rose, they can go back and stand and wait. And if the other bachelorette would like to pick him, then he can stay. If not, you are going home. and the original rose is just a bust. So, like, for the, for example, the, you know, the guys that already had roses were safe. They were in two little different waiting areas, I guess you could say.

They separated them in the mansion. And when Rachel started to give out her roses, it was interesting because she definitely went with a couple guys early that was like, hmm, I have not really seen any interaction between them. Right. when she knew that guys like Tyler, Jacob, Hayden, sure things. But I feel like she was maybe a little iffy on them after what happened. So she didn't go for them.

She went for other guys. And because she did that, those other guys were like, I, you know, kind of had more of a connection with Gabby. And that led to some uncomfortable moments because I think it also made Gabby pretty uncomfortable. Yeah, that is nice. It's nice to defer to be loyal. Like I heard, you know, you try. I treat Gabby like shit. Yep.

The reason you treat Gabby like shit is because you like me more, but I'm not going to give you a rose now right away because that's, you shouldn't be treating people like that. And then you run the risk like you're saying of trying to pick people who we certainly, as viewers have not seen Rachel talk to as much. And with that risk, it's, you know, you can get denied a couple of times.

Yeah, definitely. So, um, Tremaine and Alec and M. meatball all are offered roses by Rachel and they turn them down and Gabby does not pick them either so they are going home along with

Jacob Rachel did give her last rose to Hayden which was you know unfortunate but in that situation like the pool of guys that were left it was Jacob or Hayden because the other the other guys already turned her down right let's keep them around just to hate them

for like a little bit more. Yeah. Hayden. Hayden. Heyden. Oh. Hey them. So who can't?

So. Nate's, Johnny, Spencer, Jason, Mario, Kirk, Quincy,

Michael Eric, team Gabby, nine guys. Tino, Logan, Tyler, Ethan, Jordan,

Hayden, Avin, Zach, team, Rachel, eight guys. So it makes you think that,

uh, meat, might actually get a chance at coming back. The credit scene was Meatball talking to Rachel basically saying that in the moment he made the wrong decision and he would actually like to stay with Rachel. Absolutely. You got to kick that guy. You've got to send him home.

I'm going to be very upset of Rachel keeps him. No, I think she says no. Like at this point, we know you want Tino. We know you guys are going to end up engaged to send Meatball home. Like clearly his gut reaction was to go with Gabby. Right. And then we got turned down. Right.

And now I was like, you know, now that I think about it, I was just surprised, but we really do have a connection. Pretty convenient, people. I'm not going to be on this show anymore. Nobody's going to care about me. You know what? I think I can make this work. Send him home. Yeah.

So now we're just going to have two bachelorette seasons running parallel to each other. It does seem that way. And there certainly will be a perpendicular moment. Yeah. Like they're, we're talking math. Yeah, we are. We're talking shapes. Yep.

And not even shapes. Geometry. It's just kind of lines. lines. I'm going to get out of here. And that wraps it up for Ria. No, the, they, there's going to be crossover.

We've seen it in the trailer. There's going to be moments. Has to be. A week, two weeks in, where the guys are like, oh, fuck. I actually wish I got to know Gabby or I wish I got to know Rachel more.

Freaking loser Logan. Yeah. It's not going to work. We talked about a little bit on cutting stems or even just when we were watching. Like, if a guy tries to cross over, whether it's Gabby or Rachel, whoever that is is just going to send them home. I really do feel like that.

It does seem like they have that bond where they wouldn't cross that line. If they do, you know, it's just kind of uncomfy as friends to be like, right. Yeah, I mean, I'll take you in after you just shit on my best friend. You'd almost rather be enemies if you're in that position.

Yes, I know what I mean? Because you're always, you're looking out for number one. Right. And they're looking at. have for both of each other. Right. You know how they say bros before hoes? Do they have a saying?

Chicks before dicks. There you go. It doesn't really hit his hard. It's the same thing. Our show is literally called chicks in the office. I guess that's true. Someone fire this guy. But yeah, it is uncomfortable because they, Gabby and Rachel like each other.

Yeah. Right. And then it's like so hard because you're like, I so don't want to hate my best friend. But like right now. Yeah. Oh, my God. You guys are putting me in a position. Yeah, but I admire both of them because it seems like they're both in a good spot right now.

Yeah. That it seems like their friendship is still strong, which like I said, props to them because my God, if anything was going to break up a friendship, it would be this. Yeah. And I do feel like in those situations, they definitely have each other's back and they are. And, you know, Ray, it was sad to hear Rachel talking about the row ceremony being like, you know, I've never been so embarrassed. Yeah.

Like, Gabby did kind of have her like, yeah, that was fucking me last night. Like we're we're, this is clearly how this is going to go. We're each going to have our moments. Rachel was like, oh, my feels more public. Which, yes, it is happening during the Rose ceremony. And it's like, oh, well, who's this worse? Yeah, yeah. And like, like, well, she's complaining about this, but this happened to me.

But I do feel like Rachel did that coming from a selfless place because she had to take a risk on guys that maybe she didn't know what side they were going on because she didn't want to pick Jacob or Hayden. Yeah, because she was being nice to her friend. Exactly. So if ABC wants to run this back with two bachelors who don't like each other, I think we do that. Yeah. I think we absolutely do that. I know like these two are friends and it's actually making it pretty interesting. Two guys who hate each other, fist fights.

Now, you know, this could be a little sexist for me, but I do feel like they girls might, like I just feel like girls might have each other's back a little bit more as best friends. Oh, as the bachelor's. Yeah, as a bachelor's, I'm saying two boy bachelorette's that were best friends. I could see them fucking, like fucking each other over. Oh, absolutely. More than I could, bachelorette. But the girls competing for the two guys will be ruthless to each other. Yeah.

We need that. We need the double bachelors. It's a joke if they're going to do this for the bachelorette and never do it for the bachelors. Right. Come on. Run it back as the bachelors. Why not? We can't have.

This is the double bachelors. second time now. Let's get the two bachelor situation going. We can't have the only time this show experiments new ideas be for the Bachelorette and not for the bachelor. I agree. Bullshit. I agree. All right. So next week, I believe they're headed to Little Paris.

It looks like. Oh, Tino and Rachel are going to feed each other chocolate covered strawberries. It's going to be so cute. Some croissants. They, yeah, nobody is rooting harder for Rachel and Tino. Every time he comes onto the screen where we're watching, It just goes, Tino. I am their biggest supporter.

You got a pretty good track record. Joe and Serena, still together. You fell in love with them. They're still together. I see Tina and... Tino? Wait, Tino. You called Tina.

You did. So many names, so many bachelorets. Fuck. It's okay. I think they're going to go the whole way. I do too. They're going to distance. I hope so.

That would be great. But I think that wraps up this week's bachelor's commentary. I just, I feel like there was a lot of silly stuff when it came to the group dates and stuff, you know, the photographs and all those things that, but I feel like I covered it when I just said I really would like for them to come up with some original ideas. Yeah, the, we talked about a little bit on cutting stems on one photo shoot. The format is the star right now. Yeah. Of the show because it's so interesting and so different that like all of the little dates on the side now that it's just if all feel strange and it comes back to.

to who's going to pick who, who's going to go with who. And that's more interesting than a wedding fake proposal date. It is going in more of the direction of some of the dating shows where it's like, oh, who's going to match up with who instead of the actual drama between the contestants. Right. Like we're not focused on, there was Chris with his commentary and the guy snitch. but there hasn't been actual like serious guy on guy drama moments. Yeah. Because the drama is the drama is what the fuck's going to happen.

I kind of, yeah, I like that it's different. Yeah. It's got its flaws and it's bumps and people. And some people are, you know, putting weird positions. But overall it's, for the viewer, overall, it's been pretty interesting. It has been pretty well to watch. So yeah, I think that that wraps it up. And we have our interview with Corbyn Blue coming up.

And. Happy birthday, thank you. Happy birthday, Rio. Thank you. Thank you. Love you guys.
