We thought we would never get here. We made it. But before we get into that, do I got a deal for you guys? This deal is quite literally a no-brainer. I said that

to Fran right before we started the podcast. I said this deal is a no-brainer. If they're not on board, I don't know what will make them on board for anything. Macy's right now is offering same-day delivery through DoorDash. That means if you haven't gotten your Christmas presents or your holiday gifts yet and you're struggling and you're like, I don't feel like going to the store. What do you do? You open up DoorDash, you go to Macy's and you get a gift delivered the same day. There is nothing better than that, in my opinion. The simple as it gets. Just like food delivery, you're like, I don't feel like going to the grocery store. I don't feel like cooking. I don't feel like walking to get food or whatever it is.

We live in the city. That's why I said walk. You wouldn't normally walk to get food. But I don't want to do that. What do I do? I order on an app. That's what I do. Comes in 30, 45 minutes. Boom. You can get the same thing with clothing, jewelry,

Spectacular. Spectacular is the word of choice today. Yeah. So there we go. It's spectacular. Go to Macy's.com shop away. Trent, how you doing, bud? I'm doing great.

Well, I'm in my New York City apartment. I'm not there, which is a little weird. You can pretend Trent's like in some bunker somewhere. I mean, I don't want to get into the interior decoration. of my apartment, but it's not great. There's nothing on the walls. I don't know. Yeah, I don't really know what to do.

You look like you're in an asylum. It does. It always looks like I'm in a padded room. When I do a podcast from this room, it looks like I'm in an insane asylum. But I'm at my apartment. I'm not in the office. Kind of a bummer. But I was in Arizona last week doing some golf videos for like four days,

came back Sunday, got tested Monday. I haven't got my results back. I feel fine, but I didn't want to come into the office and give somebody. It's a responsible choice, friend. Yeah, it's responsible. It's right before Christmas. I know everybody's probably going home, so I figured the worst thing I could do was come in and give it to somebody if I have it.

So I decided to do this from home. And here I am. It's weird, but here we are. We thank you, Trent. That was the right move to do, the smart move to do. And we thank you. We missed you a large amount. But we thank you.

And I'd like to say, before we start off, I've declared you winner of live tweeting this show. The Bachelor at The Bachelor. You're the king. You are the best. live tweeter there is. There's no if, ands or butts about it. Yeah, sure. We all have a good tweet here and there.

Yeah, I land one. Yeah, Fran land one. But you, you land many. You just keep them coming. You have me cackling. You have me cackling at my phone. She was dying laughing, watching. You really make me fucking laugh hard with your tweets, Trent. That's very nice of you to say.

I saw you tweet that. It's incredibly nice. I'm really bad at accepting compliments. so I'm not quite sure what to say right now. But it's very nice, and I like that, you know, you get enjoyment out of the tweets. I love live tweeting the show. It's just what I started doing when I first started doing when I first started watching the show before we did recaps, before we did cutting stems. I just love live tweeting the show.

So it means a lot for you to say that. But again, I'm bad at accepting compliments. So I'm just going to take those words in, and I'm going to thank you. And that's kind of it. And I'll just say, you're welcome, and I'm working on a trophy for you. Okay. We come a long way from, you know, meaty hands and all the other things that I forget what we say on the show. She did call you Iowa Cornboy on cutting sports.

I did. I called you an Iowa and corn boy who's obsessed at the Bachelor or Bachelorette who doesn't like sports and wears the same thing every day. I know you like sports. I then followed up with that you're the best tweeter. So I even did out. That's nice. Yeah. Water always finds its level. Yeah.

Trent, you were one of my first. like Barstool follows on Twitter because of your live tweeting The Bachelor and the Bachelorette before I like worked here and didn't know anybody because you just had great live tweets because I would always read everybody's tweets. Really? I've never, I've never told you that. No, I definitely didn't know that. The tension in this room.

Woo! I had to wait. I had to wait to tell him that when he wasn't here. Yeah. Okay. You know. Who knows what would have to leave the room. Yeah, okay, I'm sorry.

I'm making it weird and I don't mean to. No, it's fine. Again, I don't... Once again, he's so happy. He's not in the room for all this. I just don't know what to do with compliments. I don't know if you guys have... This is the opposite of what usually happened.

I certainly know how to accept compliments. I have no idea. I don't make eye contact. I just sort of bobbed my head and I walk away usually. You know what my problem is with compliments sometimes? I say I know. Sometimes somebody who abhorpe. be like, love that shirt and I'm like, great, right?

Like, I know that I should say thank you, but I also agree. That's why I'm wearing it. You know, I'm not specifically this shirt, but people will say that about an outfit or something. I'm like, I know, right? I've done that too when I've, like bought a new jacket and I know that it's an awesome jacket. And I walk around someone's like, hey, I really like your jacket. I'm like, yeah, thanks. Yeah, I know.

Yeah, I know. That's a great jacket. I think all our live tweeting game is all pretty strong. We get a lot of tweets during the episodes being like, all I do during the commercial breaks is look at Ria and Kiggs and your guys' tweets. So we're all very good live tweeter. So throw us a follow.

Thank you. Yeah. If you listen to this recap and don't follow us on Twitter for our live tweets, you're missing out. There's no way they don't. Because there's some good stuff going on in there. Sometimes, you know, we don't get it all out. Obviously, the recap, all of our

feelings come out, but the straight, quick, funny tweets cut deep. They're good. All right, guys. Do we want to get into our into our recap. We have Monday night and Tuesday night to talk about. Monday, we'll start with Monday night. It only took 17 minutes for Blake Moynes to be sent home. We all said last week that there is no way that this guy was making it out of his one-on-one date. And that's exactly what happened. The chemistry with them is not, it just wasn't there. It's really no personal offense to Blake

Moynes. It's just so obvious that he and Tasia just did not. have anything going on. And I think Blake Moynes might have taken it personally from us. Maybe. Yeah, I know. I saw his tweet about what did he say? I wish or Farsal Tread in the office chicks. Is that what he called you? Yeah, correct. He did calls the office chicks. I mean, he's going to tag you guys. Another little tag would have been nice. But yeah, like there's no personal offense to Blake Moynes. It was just incredibly clear that him and Tasia had no chemistry whatsoever. And Tasia, they, it was sort of a strange date. And, and, you know, it was sort of a strange date and at one point they're looking into each other's eyes and Blake is pretending like

something is happening and then Tasia an interview afterwards is like I just didn't feel it it wasn't working for me she did she sent him home very quickly the sun was still out and her reaction like a total breakdown after sending Blake Moynes home that was the most confusing part because I thought she felt the same way we did where it's just all right I like Blake Moynes he seems like a nice enough guy but we just don't have the chemistry to potentially get engaged at the end of this. So for her to completely break down was confusing to me. I was actually shocked that the promo we saw the entire season of Tasia being brought to tears, brought to her knees, that's how upset she is, was about Blake Moynes. Yeah. I realized in that moment that this is it for this season.

We're not getting any more juicy drama. Tisha's ex-husband is not showing up. Whoever put that in the trailer, whoever put Tasha's husband's name in the trailer for the subtitles is fucked in the head. I appreciate it, but it's fucked in the head because we all thought that her ex-husband was showing up. Then Tisha got mad and we were like, okay, Tisha's getting mad. But still, why would his name be there? Had us believing this guy was showing up the way that we saw her be ripped apart in the in the teasers. But no, it was just Blake Moynes. It was just that fact. And yes, nothing personal against Blake Moynes. You know, I'm not saying he's a bad guy. We're not saying like, we hate Blake Moynes so much with a burning passion. There's literally no hate there.

There's no hate because there's nothing to hate. He's so ble that there's nothing to hate, which is, you know, it is what it is. No personal offense to him, but there was no connection that stood out to us. Nothing about him really stood out to us. It was the same old song dance with him getting naked over and over again, which obviously was a producer thing that wasn't. I think that has something to do with it too. Like it was the same stick with Blake week after week that was like, all right, we're over this. We didn't see any depth with Blake.

We only saw him getting naked. Which is fine for some people. But then when you're getting all these juicy stories from everybody else, you're like, all right, well, we're not really getting anything from Blake here. We don't really see the sexual chemistry between them. Speaking of sexual chemistry, they had a black box over Blake Moyne's boner, which I got a good laugh out of. I'll admit, I was like, we're blocking out boners now on this show, which we're getting

a little spicy this season. It was a funny time to get a boner too. Yeah. We're getting a little bit spicier this time. around and it is what it is, but Blake, he had to go. It wasn't his time. And unfortunately, the teaser that we got was about Blake. We were all right. We're all right about Blake Moyne. Yeah. We knew he was, we knew as soon as he got the one-on-one date that last week or the week before, that was not a good thing for Blake Moynes. Blake Moynes was excited about that, but that was

just she, Tasha was going to give it a shot. It didn't work. He didn't even make the night portion of the date. See you, Blake Moynes. Again, no personal offense. Yeah, and I do have to say that I almost think that Tasha's reaction to Blake leaving was so emotional because that was the last goodbye before all the goodbyes were going to get really hard. You know, I think it could have been like, wow, now I'm crying because I got to do stuff that's going to be way harder than this, which is exactly what happened because then she went in, she said, she pulled Riley out to talk. and sent Riley home and I think he was very shocked but even in him leaving he was very

polite just that guy is an absolute class act and I don't think he and Tasha really got enough time on this show. I don't think Riley really was able to open up where he was his full

self. He had way more serious vibes and I think he has more to him than just that but we didn't really get to see it. And Tasha just wasn't ready to meet his family, so he had to go. But the chemistry between them was, like compared to Blake, like, no chemistry. The chemistry with Riley, definitely there. Yeah, like her reaction after sending Riley home, that made sense. Her breaking down and crying over Riley made sense. The only thing with Riley and Tasha was, I think Riley was further along in his head than Tasha was with Riley. Riley is very, very much

into Tasia. I think Tasia isn't for Riley, just not as much. Maybe if they'd gotten some more time, it could have worked out, but it just wasn't meant to be. I like Riley. I think we all like Riley. I'd like to see him in paradise. I know I saw some people saying they want Riley to be the Bachelor. I hope we're not done with Riley because I think he's a really genuinely good guy and he's good for the show. I think Riley is a really good guy like both of you have said. I think he's a great gentleman. I think he's smart. I think he's all of those things, obviously. I just think he was a bit serious and I'd like to see his personality a bit more. I'm sure there's a great fun-loving side to Riley who loves to laugh and joke around. But we didn't really see that this much on this season.

We didn't get to know that side of Riley. And I think he maybe was just a bit too serious for Tasha. I think, you know, you see Tasha and Zach C laughing it up. She's giggling. She can't even help herself. She's like a little school girl in front of him. Yeah. But with Riley, it was it was a bit intense. Like when they hooked him up to the lie detector test And it's like a fun silly date And they're like hey you're a lawyer Riley Would you ever let one of your clients do this? And he's like I would never Yeah

It's like I've actually advised my clients not to take these tests It is it is definitely very serious So Riley was sent home We didn't get a cocktail party Bennett comes back The guys are all obviously pissed about it But Chris Harrison says no cocktail party, Tasha knows what she wants to do, which really shows how much she does not

care about Bennett, that she didn't even need to have another conversation with him. It was so obvious, it was so obvious up to this point who the top four were, give or take Riley. Like, Riley being sent home before this was surprising. But Bennett, Noah and those four guys, it's like, it was clear as day who was going to get the hometowns. And Bennett and Noah were sent home. Why even let Bennett come back after the first time, where he comes back, he shows up at her place. He sits her down.

He says, I'm in love with you, which is clearly just not true. Like Tasia, she's pretty direct. She's no bullshit most of the time. I think she saw right through that. And for whatever reason, she kept him around for the road ceremony, then would send him right back home again. Maybe that's a producer thing so we can, you know, ceremoniously watch Noah and Bennett leave together. but her letting Bennett come back and then send him home during the row ceremony, it was just a complete waste.

Right. And I've said this multiple times before now, but I feel like it was definitely a producer driven because Tasha kept saying how much she liked Bennett. And I don't think you do that to somebody you like. You do that to somebody you hate. You make them come back just so you could diss them again and send them home again and say, you know what? I fucking hate you. Stab the knife and twist it even more. That's not how you treat somebody you like. So I think that all had to do with the producers, you know, saying we need some drama. here. Fran has moved her phone and it sounded like a fart. I swear to God, I thought someone farted. Yeah, it did. I was like, whoa, Fran, but I saw her move her phone. I was like, that's definitely why. Because I would have 100% got blamed for that. So I'm glad I'm that. That is true. No, I saw it out of the corner of my eye. I think that they needed some sort of drama because we really didn't get any of that this season. You know, the drama with Noah and

Bennett was so made up out of thin air. It didn't have to happen. It wasn't. I do think they don't like each other. Yeah, I don't think they like each other, but it doesn't fuel my fire. I don't know, because then you see him at the Mentella not to jump ahead. He's given him a sippy cup and they're kind of laughing about it. Like, I even feel that the hatred that they have for each other isn't really there at all.

I think they are annoyed by each other, but they know that it's all a shtick. Like, it's all, it's being. played up so much. I completely agree with what Rhea said. It just went on for so long because they were holding on to Dear Life for some kind of drama, some element of surprise.

So Bennett and Noah had to stay around. It was so many weeks of Bennett and Noah where Bennett and Noah could have, should have just been sent home together on that two-on-one situation. And I'm sure Tasha wanted to send them both home at that

time. But they stayed around and then Bennett was allowed to come back. So it all seemed a little manufactured from from that point. But we finally got them off. Bennett and Noah are sent home. Ivan, Ben, Brendan, and Zach C. get hometown dates. And then it goes to the Men Tell All, which we got more of Bennett and Noah drama, which at that point after watching Bennett and Noah go home and then immediately going into the mental all. I was like, I don't care about this at all. Yeah, to be honest, I didn't really care about the mental all too much. It wasn't anything that exciting. He's pretty boring. I think DeMar was the star of the show. I think he should be,

all of a sudden. Good Paradise Audition. Right. It was like, oh my God, where has this man been? First of all, it seems like he has all the answers. He was like speaking for everybody. He was like, no, this is what happened. No, this is what happened. He was like, I'm the one watching it. from the outside looking in. I saw all you guys acting a fool. This is what happened. I think he'd be great as The Bachelor, Bachelor in Paradise. I think we need to see more of him. That was my

takeaway from Men Tell All. Otherwise, we had Noah fighting with Kenny. He had that insult towards Kenny, which I thought was kind of cringeworthy, I mean, because... I liked it. Yeah, I know you liked it. Which I understand how it is like a

a whoa, he said that, but I also think he had that plant. Like it almost looked on his face, that he had been thinking about that insult and it didn't really fly off the tongue. It looked, right. It looked a little planned. But Ivan did tweet that Noa is on the right side of history and I trust Ivan.

So I feel like I'm just going to go with that. But either way, I don't necessarily care about anything that happened on Men Tell All. Yeah, as good as DeMarr was, and I thought he was really good. Kenny was that bad. I just could not take Kenny seriously. Like when Bennett and Noah are going back and forth,

Kenny's on Bennett's side. and it felt like Kenny was trying to get as much of the spotlight as he could, maybe go on Paradise and all this. But yeah, I didn't think the mental law was all that interesting. It was a lot more Bennett and Noah. Ed got a couple of good shots at a couple people. I just, every time I see Ed, I just laugh. I don't know why.

He's just, I've gone from disliking him to starting to like him to disliking him to liking him even more. So I think Ed will be in Paradise at some point. But other than that, yeah, it was a pretty boring mental. hell all I thought. Yeah, nobody was like at each other's throats. They tried to make the big drama bringing Yosef back. And instead of it being entertaining, it was just like, we fucking hate this guy's guts. Yeah, it was just annoying because Chris Harrison had given him a layup, basically, to apologize. He didn't want to apologize. He said some more offensive shit that nobody was having. He just seems like not the best dude actually seems like the worst.

Yeah. So I hope that we never see him again. I don't think we will see him again because the way that he wouldn't apologize, the way he just totally dismissed Chris Harrison. Double down. Yeah, it's not going to go well for him going forward in this franchise. I don't think we'll ever see him again. And Trent, as for Ed, you're so right. I have never gone back and forth like I have with this man. One second, I'm like, why is Ed here? The next second, I'm like, I think I like, Ed. Then I'm like, why is Ed here? And then I, again, on the mental law last night, I was like, you know what? He's letting, he's letting Chase and have it, even though Chase is not there. Chase is not even in the room.

And Ed is really going at him. When Ed was originally going at Chasing during the mental off, I was like, oh, man, Chasin's going to be hot under the collar. I can't wait for what he says. And then I felt like the camera just panned to nothing because Chasin wasn't there. Good for Ed to get in those shots and just walk ship behind Jason's back. Ed picked a battle with a guy who wasn't even invited to the show. So it was very interesting.

They definitely cut a lot of people out. You know, we didn't get any Dr. Joe, which is a travesty. We didn't get, you know, there was no Chase in, no, like, no Spencer, first impression rows. You don't get invited to the mental all. But it seemed like they kept the numbers on the smaller side, no easy. That might have been on purpose. Probably, definitely. And Claire also tweeted saying, like, oh, I wish I had a chance to talk to these guys.

So it seems like Claire didn't even get an invite to go to this mental all. Listen, there is no reason that Claire had to be there. No reason at all. She's with Dale. We don't have to talk about it. what happened with her and these guys anymore we've moved forward. I think that was you know, that's like all their

ex-girlfriend. We don't need to talk about it. We got Tasha. Like we don't need to go rehash everything with Claire. They're like, we don't even know Claire. Yeah, it was two girlfriends ago. Yeah. We don't even know her. Claire would have been good as to dunk on Yosef because that would have been really easy. Exactly. When did they film the mentel? Do we know? They normally do it

a month or two before the finale. I think a monthish before the finale. Wasn't that the whole thing last night that it was live? No. No. No, the mental house always pre-recorded. I kind of got a live vibe, too. I thought it was live.

I really don't think it was live. Riley, you just watched that for the first time. They, like... I know, but Riley, you just watched that for the first time could be because they put it on the screen in the menthol. That's true. But I definitely remember, like, I feel like it was live. No, because we know it wasn't live.

I don't think so. They never do the Mentel all live. Because Trent went to go to the World. No, no, no, but I thought it's like Corona, no studio audience, like they changed it up and it's live this time. I don't think it was live. I think that would have been. I'm going to do some research. I feel like Tisha was not there live.

I think we would have seen posts about it happening if it was live. Yeah. I don't think so. I don't think so. I think you're wrong. The way is that is that Yosef is a real piece of shit. Oh, God. It's a shocking.

Who are villains who are villains who like get a bad cut and then they go on these and you're like, maybe he's not that bad, but I'm still going to hate him. Yosef is like, it seems like a genuinely not a good person. So just get Yosef off the screen forever. Yeah, they try. You try and give him a redemption and see if he'll apologize. He just doubles down, double down.

Oh, my God. Doubles down and can't apologize. It's really, really concerning and really hope we don't see him ever again. That was the last time we should ever discuss him. He's a vampire, by the way. Yes, yes. That absolutely, that was one of Trent's best tweets of just pictures of garlic. That was our first Twilight reference.

You know, we're back to seeing Yosef. That guy is big bad, like for sure in the Voltrory. And on top of that, Blake Moynes, who would be a werewolf? Like, if we were going to cast Blake. Moines in that in Twilight he would be in that family well he's Jacob because it's when Bella tells Jacob you know you're not it I like Edward so that was you know clear werewolf vibes and then he said he imprinted yeah said all these things from Tashas has imprinted on him so just him using the word imprint it was we didn't catch it thankfully

someone on Twitter shout out to you caught it and send it to us and then I what she sent just the clip again to watch and clear as day. Twilight reference out of Bligh Moines' mouth. Yep. Imprinted is a word straight out of Twilight. I know it's been used in other places, but that is a strong word. I immediately think of Twilight anytime I hear that word.

Strong word. I think of ducks when I hear imprint. I had ducks imprint on people, right? That's nice. I think you're right. I'm not quite sure. We're talking about something a little deeper like Rinesme. What does that word mean?

It's a person. I don't want to spoil the show of the movie for you. Because we're going to have that watch party. Yeah. Because I would like to see Twilight so the references don't go just right over my head. Yeah. Oh, and the third reference is I look like fucking Jacob. Like, yep.

My hair, my hair style, I'm Jacob. It's the same hairstyle. It's fantastic. The side by, well, at one point. Yeah. At one point. You just got to go to Chicks in the Office on Instagram and see what I'm talking about if you're listening to this. It really made me laugh.

It's very funny. But it's Twilight references left and right tonight, I got to say. It's been very, very relevant. Tasia got to talk to Blake. Tasia got to talk to Riley. Tisha and Riley. That chemistry is still there. I felt sad watching them on that couch because I was like, you know what?

They needed more time. I'm sure Tasha is happy right now. but the way they were looking at each other, the way he reacted when Tasha walked out, like this guy, they had something. And I just don't think they had enough time to really see if it could be anything. Maybe it'd be something down the line.

I think you're right. I think Tash is probably happy with whatever picks she made at the end of the season. But, you know, I don't want to close the door on Riley and Tasha forever because I would really like to see them get together at some point. Especially because the only contestant Tisha's following on Instagram is Riley. Is that true?

Yeah. As of today, she may follow tomorrow and then I could be lying, but as of now, that's it. It is. It is. Maybe they'll be good pals. If she doesn't pick Zach C, then I may be down the line. If she does pick Zach C, then I hope they live happily ever after. And I don't wish anything else than that.

Fair enough. It is very interesting. I don't know. It's weird to like, I feel like, I feel like. you either follow everyone or you follow none. Maybe Riley has reached out to her after the show more than the others, or maybe

at all, and they've had a friendship. Yeah. I don't know. I don't know. Interesting. The way Riley looks at Tasha is very, it's funny, but it's also he's like, she's... Yeah. He's in love. Yeah. Oh, he's... It's like...

He looks at her life. It's fantastic, but she is, I mean, she is beautiful. and she has looked amazing. Top-notch outfits all around, always from Tasia.

Obviously can't go to their actual hometowns. So it was very, the numbers were smaller. They didn't get the full family affair. It wasn't everybody there. They only got a select few people who came.

Brendan was with his brother, his brother's wife, and their daughter, who is very, very cute. I'm going to forget her name. Alia. Alia? Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Is right. I don't remember her name.

She was very, very cute. And I tweeted about her. And I said she was an absolute star, and she was. It's only because it was a, it was a liea. Alia. Yeah. But I feel like. like they were pronouncing it, A-L-I-A-H. That's normally Elias. So, all right, I'll go with that.

She was very, very sweet. You missed it? Where were you? I don't know. That is a suspicious No, I wasn't feeling well my stomach was hurting. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. You sit behind me, so I don't, sometimes I don't realize when you're not there. I apologize for you. I apologize. for making you say that on the show. No, it's okay. I was having some tummy issues. Happens of the best of us. I don't poop, though, so that's not what I'm talking about.

Correct. Never. Okay. I literally have never. Literally never. Okay. We'll move on. The date towards this point of-

I wish Noah would cut this all out. I'm sweating. I'm sweating. We're talking about the date now. Brendan and Tatea- have a great time with Brendan's niece, Brendan's brother is a delight. They're sweating absolute bullets.

These guys couldn't be sweating more on these hometown dates. Not only are they, I'm sure, very nervous on these dates, but it must have been 120 degrees. This is really the beginning of everyone's sweating. Like, I think, yeah, when Brendan's niece came out, they played where you throw the rings at whatever. You kind of noticed a little bit of sweat on Brendan. You're like, oh, they must be like,

They're doing a physical activity. But then as the episode went on, it was just everyone was pouring sweat. Everybody. It had to be 130 degrees in Palm Springs for everybody to be sweating like that. Even when they were indoors, people were sweating. They were filming in the middle of the summer. In Palm Springs. It had to have been hot.

So even Tasia, you could tell. It was like so, so hot. But then Brandon, Brandon, Brandon whipped out. Come on. My gosh. Scared the shit out of me. It's even louder in the headphones. I just like jumped.

I just like went black for a second. Woo! Brendan. Don't fuck it up again. Was dancing. Moving his hips, shimmying. I was kind of impressed. I tweeted two minutes before the hip shaking that like,

Brendan is so low energy. His heart rate can't go above like 25 beats per minute. and he's just very low energy. And then two minutes later, he's like salsa dancing and taking his hips all over the place. I want more of that, Brendan. Because I really, I genuinely like Brendan. I think he's an awesome guy.

And I don't always seen enough of it. Like, he's always just very low speaking and monotone, and he doesn't get excited. But when I saw him dancing, I was like, I want to know more about Brendan. Right, we want to know that guy, the dancing guy. Yeah. Big time.

You know who I want to see salsa dance? Oh, no. You, Trent. You. No. One day. One day. One day we'll see.

Do you dance at weddings? Yeah, I do. Love that. Love that. I'm picturing Trent dancing now. You're sorry. I mean, you think the people on this episode are sweating. Look at me on a wedding dance floor, I'm sweating.

You know how I kind of picture Trent dancing? What kind of dance was you do? There's a. Oh. Oh. The tie's coming off. The tie's coming off. And then you're just like,

whoop, who, oh, you're, you're a whip in the tire out. I'm thinking of, um, I'm, I'm picturing like Trent doing like the dance moves from Hitch.

I'm picturing get low is playing. Stop the fire. But um, bum, bum, boom. Yeah.

Like, I just picture Trent going like this back. Getting low? Yeah. He's just, just moving side to side. I feel like I get pretty into the chow. Scha slide.

That's a good one. Pretty simple. I like the songs they tell me what to do. Because otherwise, I just don't know what I'm doing out there. Can you do the cotton eye, Joe? Is that where you just kick your legs up, like crazy? Kind of. Yeah.

I think I would hurt. I think if I do that nowadays, I would really hurt myself. Oh, Tren, don't say that. Weddings are fun. They're really fun. I was about to say something inappropriate to you, trying. I'm going to refrain this episode. You can say it if you want.

I bet Trent. So quick did you say it. I bet Trent, no hesitation. Fucks at weddings. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. He's on the hunt for a bridesmaid.

I have no comment. No comment. I just had to say that. Oh, boy. Okay, guys. I think he's hunting for bridesmaids at a wedding. I think every guy's hunting for any single guys hunting for bridesmaids at a wedding.

That's why I said it's got to be. No comment. Oh, man. Okay. We were saying this during cutting stems, Trent. It was just like every hometown date was really so pleasant. We were kind of just saying the same things over and over about each one. It was like, oh, the family was great.

The conversation was great. The whole date was great. And it's true. They were all great. You know, Zach had his brother and his parents. They did the whole little New York City thing. They were making out in the fountain, which it's just, it's clear as day to me. She does, Tasha does not interact with any of these other guys the way she interacts with Zach C.

That makeout and that fountain was steamy. You would not do that in New York City. It would be disgusting if you got into the fountain and started kissing. You would have a disease. You get corona immediately in that fountain. Yeah. Well, first, I think it was just out of necessity because it was so. fucking hot there. That's very true.

But also, Zach C, you know, Brand's been beating the Zach C drum for pretty much since the first episode, but it's pretty clear that unless something, you know, crazy happens, which I think we're pretty well past that point,

Zach C is, it seems to be the pick. I thought the New York Day was a delight. I don't know where they got all those cutouts for the New Yorkite. They ate bagels. And there were gummy bears and I think like sour worms, which was like crazy. I don't know why that was an option. But yeah, I think if, you know,

if you've been paying attention even a little bit, Zach C is far and away number one. What are you laughing at, Rhea? Do you have a fireplace set up on your TV? I do, yeah. Because it looks like flames are coming out of your eyeballs. It's reflecting in your glasses and his ring light. Don't you see that?

It looks like flames are coming out of his eyeballs. Wow, it really does. I didn't see it before, and now it's frightening. Yeah. When the weather turns, it starts to get a little, little colder in New York City. I like to throw on, I can even turn this puppy around. I like turn on a little fire. Oh, my God.

That is just delightful. Try and I have that same ringlight. Same. And if you, yeah, that's Robbie Fox's ringlight. This is the first time I remember using a ringlight because I don't really have great lighting in its room. Let me tell you. The fire in Trent's eyes is the angriest he's ever looked. Yeah.

And then I have it on mute, but if you turn it up, it's just playing instrumental. Christmas music. It is a... Oh, that's beautiful. Yeah. That's really nice. But I didn't think about the reflection of my glasses. That probably looks weird. I didn't, I, now I'm not going to be able to not see it. It's fine, but it had to be talked about. Your eyes. No, it definitely did. Definitely did. Definitely did. But Trent, you are right. I have been

very much on the Zach C train since day one. And his family was very nice. They were very sweet. They had a nice conversation with Tasia. And no one even really, there was no grilling. It was really very pleasant. Everybody had a nice time. People on, I did see people on Twitter complaining about New York for Zaxi when he is from South Jersey and is such a big Eagles fan, the whole thing.

But he has spent time in New York clearly. And I just think those dates are always, that's set up by what the producers can set up for them anyway. It's like, hey, we're going to give you New York. It's close enough to where you're from. True, but they should have set up like a fake football field. Yeah, I don't know why they didn't do Philly. And all of a sudden they're eating Philly cheese steaks.

That would have been fun. No, it should have been Philly. I don't really know why they chose New York. It absolutely should have been Philly. But I don't think that's Axie's fault. Yeah, no. I don't know. Halfway through the New York day, I was like, I didn't know this dude was from New York.

And then I realized he's not from New York. Yeah, I'm not sure if maybe he's a little spence. sometime living in New York. I don't know enough. I don't know the details of it because I was thinking, oh, maybe it's kind of, if I went on this show, would my hometown, would it say my actual hometown in New Jersey? And that, you know, because you're, we're close. You go back and forth. I live in New York, but my hometown is not New York. So it's like, and Ben, you know, Ben, they did Venice Beach. Ben lives in Venice Beach, but he's not from Venice Beach. So that's, you know, it wasn't quite as hometowny as you would normally get from legit going to the hometowns.

Probably easier to get New York City Manhattan cutouts than wherever he's from. Is it Philly or is it just New Jersey? He's from South Jersey. Yeah, like what does South Jersey look like? Have you ever been to New Jersey? No. It's very, he's from suburb. He's just, it's a very nice suburban town.

Yeah. I think that all the hometowns were, they were just nice, you know. They were, I think that we can just admit that they were all nice. There was nothing crazy that happened. I will say, stand out to me. My favorite hometown was Ivan's. First of all, I love Ivan. I think he's so sweet and wonderful.

We see that, like, goofy side of him. He seems like he's lighthearted and fun. And I really like Ivan, although I still stand by the fact that I think he's going to get his heartbroken by Tasha. But Ivan's family overall, his mom and dad, absolute sweethearts. I loved his parents. They were so great. And then you get Ivan's brother Gabe, who's fucking awesome.

This guy walks in, you know, he's been to jail before, not exactly sure the reasoning. I think Noah looked it up. It was, I don't exactly know why he was in jail. It said drugs and alcohol, not sure if that's the truth. We don't know. But what I do know is that Ivan's brother Gabe was wearing a fire outfit, a phenomenal shirt. He walked in and he was also face tats. Face tats as well, which

fair enough. And also he was poetic as hell. Like he, the things he was saying, righteous endeavor. The thing the way he was like rewording things Tasia would say and then come back with something super intelligent. And the way that him and Ivan were connected, the way Tasia started crying when she saw them together, Ivan's brother was a goddamn delight. Now, Trent, say it. make him the bachelor make ivan's brother the bachelor that would be the best season of television ever like i just it would be i said it as a joke i tweeted out but the more i thought about it

the more i think it should just happen like it would really flip everything on its head people would be like what's going on with the bachelor right now he's just somebody like we've never had be the bachelor and i really think it would be amazing absolutely trend i think that's what they need to start doing in this franchise is give us people we've never had before give us somebody like ivan's brother i think i think it would be entertaining i think it would be funny i think it's a call back to ivan like you know what just just do it just do it give give the people what they want an entertaining season with ivan's brother all right i'm willing to compromise let's put him in paradise first see how he does like they've done that for siblings of

people who have been on the show. Ashley I brought it, Lauren. That's right. That's one I couldn't think of. Just put, what's Ivan's brother's name? Gabe. Yes. Gabe.

Put Gabe down there and if Ivan doesn't win it. Send them down there as a duo and let's just see what happens. It's going to be entertaining television no matter what. I was afraid Gabe was going to steal Tays show away. That bad boy effect. You never know. They kind of like a sugar and spice brother vibe. Yeah, it was like, oh shit, this bad boy is coming through.

Yeah. And Ivan and Gave's relationship was so sweet. Just hearing them talk was really adorable. Him saying that, you know, Ivan has been there for him for so long and how he is so happy to have this opportunity now to be there for him and the relationship that Ivan has with his daughter. It was really very, very sweet. And Ivan was so happy to see him.

You also knew he was coming out. Like they showed way too many clips of Ivan being like, I just really wish my brother was here. Like if he said it one time, then I don't think I would have expected it. But they cut him saying it maybe five times where it was like, okay, he said it enough where this guy's got to come out. Right. And I think Ivan obviously loves his brother.

It's his brother. But loving him as much as he does and how emotional he got made Ivan's brother even better because you're like, this guy, he may be a good guy. You know, they talked about him being in jail. But like, if he's still around, he's making appearances on this show. when Ivan is bettering himself. Yeah, bettering himself hopefully. And Ivan is in tears and Tase is so happy to see him and has heard great things about him. Like, I think it really hyped him up. Ivan was like hyping up his brother. I was genuinely surprised when he walked through that.

You didn't pick up on all the hints? I didn't. I'm really such a sucker sometimes for this show. Usually I'm like, I can see all the angles. I know what's going to happen. I know who's going to come out and when I had no idea his brother was going to show up. When he showed up, I was just as surprised as Ivan was. Well, then, yeah, obviously Ivan was surprised, but I just felt like Ivan had said it so many times that it was like, okay, you got to think something happens here. But that was another really, like he said, it was another great hometown date. And then we had Ben.

We'll get into his hometown. But I got to say, guys, if you are not drinking Coors. Light when you are watching the Bachelorette listening to this recap you're missing out. Pours Light is the official beer of chicks in the office. It's the beer that is literally

Ben, they got to meet Ben's sister and family friend Antonia, which, you know, Barry, the lead. Nobody, chef Antonia put some respect on the name. You know, there was, there was no explanation of who she was. It was just like, oh, this is Ben's old pal, Antonia.

The fact that they did not have the cooking date for Tasha and Ben, where Chef Antonia is a chef on the date, teaching them how to cook, and then boom, chef Antonia turns out to be part of Ben's family package, with such a missed opportunity, how did they not market her as the chef from the food network? How did they not talk about that? Maybe she didn't want that. Maybe she wanted it to be about Ben. But hey, guess what chef,

Antonio? We're still talking about you being the chef from the food network. So that didn't work. I don't know who that person is. We didn't expect it to. Iron chef. She's been on tons and tons of food network. It shows one in like a judge that's in the rotation for a lot.

lot of Food Network shows. She's fantastic. And I'm still a little unsure of where this, like how this relationship formed. How is she a dear family friend? I did ask it on Twitter and some replies that said that he trains her or he is her trainer. But I feel like it's got to go deeper than that for her to be involved at this level where it seems like they act like their siblings, you know? It seems like it's a deeper, it's a deeper friendship. And she tried to coach the shit out of him.

She's like, hey, if you love her, you got to tell her. Like, come on. She was really very helpful with Ben. And yet Ben still blew it. Yeah, I'm not too interested into finding out why Ben and Chef Antonia know each other. Like, to me, I'm just like, if that's your family friend, that's your family friend. I don't like to know the story behind every person becoming friends with their family friends.

So I'm like, if that's, it is what it is to me. Still interesting, she was there. And I find it shocking. They didn't mention that she's Chef Antonia. To me, that's the crazy part. But, yeah, Ben, he has a tough time pouring out his emotions. We see that. Chef Antonio was like pulling teeth.

And then, unfortunately, it didn't land him a spot in the final three. He got sent home because of that reasoning. And I think Tisha was waiting for him to say those words, I love you, or I'm falling in love you. And that just wasn't there until he was in the car. going home. Yeah. He really has trouble showing his emotions. It's been like a dream the whole season that he doesn't cry. He said it four or five times where he's like, I don't even know how. I don't even know how. So, you know, it wasn't that much of a surprise that he wasn't able to say to Tasia, I'm falling in love with you or I'm in love with you. But like that's all it would have

taken, I think. I think that was very much the difference between Ben going home or or maybe I've going home or maybe even Brendan. Zach C, obviously, he wasn't going home. But I think if Ben just goes a little bit further and says, I love you, I'm falling in love with you, Tasia, he's still around. But since he just, he couldn't muster up whatever he needed to say it, and then he just got sent home. It was tough.

And even afterwards, when he walked out, Tasha said, I needed him to give me anything in that time, sending him home, sadness, anger, anything. He was just kind of like. a blank face wasn't getting any reaction. He does clearly have a hard time expressing his emotions. And he was able to say that he loves Tasia to the camera, but not to her face. And I think I was shocked. I really didn't think Ben was going to be the one to go home.

But in my mind, it was Zach and Ben at the end. I just really thought that it was going to be Zach and Ben. But I understand from Tasha's point of view. of how like if he can't open up, he has some work to do on himself before maybe he's ready to be in an engagement. I agree. And I think he has some work for himself before he's on Bachelor in Paradise or Bachelor in general. I saw a lot of people being like Ben for Bachelor, Ben for Bachelor. I like Ben. And I really thank him for opening up on the show like he did. I thought that was really brave and probably helped a lot of people, and I thought that was great.

But I don't think that Ben would be suitable as Bachelor. I think as Bachelor, you got to be able to open up, show your emotions, really dive deep, maybe some crying, whatever it may be, really just let all the emotions fly. I don't think that would come easy for Ben. And I don't think it's something he should put himself through necessarily. So I don't really agree with the Ben for Bachelor movement, but I do like Ben and I appreciate what he gave on this season. Yeah, but unfortunately, we got the last group of guys, it was a tough decision. We got a great group here in the top three are solid. We got a solid top three.

I was so, I had no idea going into that last row ceremony when there were four of them. What was going to happen? I tweeted out. It was like, well, I guess probably Ivan's going to go home. And then Ivan was the first name that came out of Tasia's mouth. I was stunned by that. I did not think Ben was going to go home. I thought Ivan would have been my number one pick to go home.

then maybe Brendan, then Ben, then Zach C. I did not see Ben going home this week. I was legitimately stunned. And usually at this point in the show, you kind of know what's going on. Obviously, you know what's going on with Zach C. But I did not have a beat on who was going to go home. I was legitimately surprised by that Rose Cermil.

Yeah, absolutely. I was very surprised as well. Did not see it coming. But now we have fantasy suites next week, the fantasy dates. Brendan, Zach, and Ivan are top three. So it's very, very interesting. It's a close top three.

I don't, I feel like it is going to, I just, I think Brendan is a little too nervous. I don't know if he's ready to get engaged again. I think he needs more time. And I don't know if Tachia is going to be willing to do that. that Ivan so sweet, absolute angel. I think he's too sweet for Tasia, which leaves a clear path for Zach C. I just think it's the obvious choice.

Maybe it's so obvious that you pick someone else, but it seems so obvious. Yeah, I think top two goes to Zach and Ivan because I feel like something is Ben, I mean, Brendan just doesn't seem totally ready. Yeah. And I think that's going to affect him in the long run. Yeah.

So I think it's going to end up being between Ivan and Zach C, and I think Zach C is going to take it home. But do you guys think that she has sex with everybody during fantasy suites? Hmm. Just quickly, I think my top two would be Zach and Brendan. I feel like her and Ivan are more friends sometimes. Yeah. Yeah, I agree with you. He is so sweet.

that like during their um the first part of their hometown day where they're not with the families and they're making food and they're dancing around like i felt that felt very friend like to me and i i was that's why i was surprised that ivan stayed and ben went home i thought yeah ben and tasha had a much more of like a we could potentially get engaged at the end of this far more than i've and i but do agree that brendan's um hesitance to potentially propose to tation at the end that's that going to be a big issue and that's probably going to knock Brendan out of the final two. Will she have sex with all three of them?

I think, boy, that's an interesting thing. I think yes. I think yes because I think she's very attracted to Zach, so yes. That could be the one though that could be, hey, maybe we should wait because I already know I'm so attracted to you. Kind of like a Tyler C situation. Ivan, I think yes because of what Trent is saying about the friend thing. I think Tasha maybe needs to know if there is the sexual chemistry there or not. Because then that could get that'll give her her answer.

Like if it's not there, it's like, okay, this guy is great, but we're definitely, definitely more friends vibe. And I, yeah, I just think like probably with Brendan too, because why not? Why do I feel like Zach C is going to be the one to hold out on having sex with Tate? because in the teaser, it looks like something happened between them, contentious. And she's like, what do I do with that? They could be throwing us off again. Imagine he just couldn't get hard. She's like, what do I do with that limp dick?

Because it's just something so preposterous, something like that. I don't know. It could be anything at this point. She was crying over Blake Moynes. And we thought that, like I said, we thought her ex-husband was coming back. So who knows what that's about. It'll be interesting to see what happens, though. I yeah I would say yes to all three I think

Ivan I hope I'm rooting for Ivan I hope for Ivan because he is such a nice guy and he just he just seems like a great guy Brendan maybe he doesn't seem like he's just so timid sometimes that I think that's I don't know if I have a feeling he could be sneaky kind of like not freaky but

has it has like a very sexual side. And I'm reading that just from the way he is and then slash when he just whipped out those dance moves like nothing. I'm like, I feel like we don't fully know this guy. Who was, were we texting about his Instagram pictures?

Yes. Yeah. Yes. He has very attractive Instagram photos. Right. Which, no offense to him or I don't want me to be mean to be mean, but it doesn't come across like the way his Instagram pictures do on TV. His Instagram's a liar.

He has, well, he's got full-blown model shots. Looks like he's done some male modeling. Oh, he absolutely has. People have sent multiple photos of Brendan on billboards and magazines and whatnot. We're letting Brendan slide and we were blown up Dale, but we should really be posting Brendan shots as well. Yeah.

A lot of modeling work in there. Of course the heater. We're just at the end and the heater is going to come on. It's unbelievable. All right, guys. I think that wraps it up. Oh, just a small tidbit that I'm thankful for on this Bachelor. Wednesday.

Zach C followed me on Twitter. Wow. And he retweeted one of my Eagles tweets. Oh my God. This is huge and you didn't just decide to tell us now? Yeah. I wanted to save it. Okay.

But sometimes I think you're a fake friend when you don't tell me things. Sometimes I truly save it for the show because I tell you everything where I'm like, you know what, I'm going to save this to get a genuine reaction so we don't have to to fake it on the podcast. True, but I still would have been just as excited, you know? Yes. I don't know how you don't text us immediately being like, Zach, you followed me guys and he retweeted me. How do you not text your friends that? It was like a quote tweet. A quote tweet that was like a paragraph long. Well, it was about the Eagles. And we get nothing. We get no tech Trent. What is this? Come on. You're holding out on us on Zach. I saw it right after the Eagles game and I was very, my emotions were all

over the place. One, because of the Eagles game and I saw it was like, and then I kind of forgot about it. Sometimes, I'm just like, in my head, me and Fran are way closer than in her head. Oh my God. Don't say that. There are so many times. I text Fran every, I'm like, this just happened, this just happened. There are so many times where Fran will tell, I'm like, you didn't tell me that? You didn't tell me that? Anyways, we're really excited for you, though. That's huge. At least,

at least I'm not like sending it to other people and not saying, like, I didn't tell anyone. You didn't tell anyone. You didn't Tell your friends. No. Tell your friend group chat. No. I don't know if I believe. No, I swear to God.

I swear to God. Didn't tell anyone. Didn't tell my family. I don't believe that. Didn't, didn't tell a soul. What? Why not?

I don't know. I don't know. I have no real reason for why I didn't tell anyone. I just didn't. I'm just going to, for no reason, I'm going to flip sides. I'm just going to say that I like the chief saved a joke. That's like, that's someone who's, you know, wants to get a genuine reaction. out of us, I suppose.

Fair enough. I did. I did. I wanted to get a real reaction and say to you guys in this moment. Like that was really, that was big. And I honestly, I saw it on Sunday and had like a, uh, woo, like in my head. And then I went back to thinking about the Eagles and then got distracted and then didn't think about it again until tonight when someone on Twitter tweeted at me again saying,

oh, I just noticed it Zach follows Fran. And I was like, oh my God, I forgot about that. And here we are. That's huge. All I know is I'm going to start with holding information, but that's huge. That is, Fran, we are so ecstatic for you. Thank you guys. But now I know to hold in some information.

I am not quite sure when the follow happens, so I don't know how many of my horny for Zaxi tweets he has seen. But if he has gone back, there is a lot. There is a lot. I do like that he chose an Eagles take to put his two cents in for. So I just really hope that one day, Zah, back and I can sit down and talk about the Eagles. Is that all? Because maybe he's not with his.

Yeah, I was just about to say. What if we read into this? Yeah. What do we really dive deep here? Yeah. I will, the thing is, is I was reading his, um, his bio again on his bachelor bio. Interesting. Whoa. Whoa. She's in deep. Well, it was sent to me, guys. It was sent to me again. I did not go seeking it out. But everything in there is top notch. It's really, I'll, he's almost, he's almost too good. No, we've heard it. We've heard it.

I know, but I just got to say it again. I just got to say it again quickly. Hold on. I'll find it because it was sent to me. Put some like romantic music behind this. Yeah. She reads it. Noah, that's your job. You should do that. Okay.

Right now Fran is pretending like she hasn't found it yet when she found it as soon as she phone. It's her favorites. Yep. So he loves Philadelphia sports. Read it from the top. Dreams of sharing a Philly. No, it's too long. I need to read the whole thing.

He dreams of sharing a Philly Cheesecake with his future wife while watching the Eagles win a Super Bowl. He's a sneaker head, which, okay, I can respect the sneakerhead game. I actually did see tonight when they were on their New York date, with like Flynn stoning around with that taxi cab. Yeah. He was wearing Jordan. Yeah.

Yeah, I think so. He likes to read his news in the newspaper, and I feel like we bob on that because I like to read, you know, real books. really print words on paper. His dream... That one feels like a touch I'll say. Yeah. It does.

Yeah. Absolutely, Tron. I'm glad you said it. A little bit, but here we are. His dream is to travel to Italy and eat his way through the country. Wait, wait, wait. We can't hear Trent. Please speak.

Oh, yeah, no, I was just going to say that the connection there is that you both like to read words off of paper. Yep, correct. Yeah, well, you know, some people don't like to do that. His dream is to travel to Italy and eat his way. way through the country. Love that. And he loves desserts, but if there's fruit on the plane, he's not eating. Isn't everybody's dream to travel

through Italy and eat their way through? Absolutely. But that's in his bio. It's not in everybody else's bio. I think I'm in love with Zachson. Yeah, it's hard not to be. He loves desserts. Like, he refuses to eat fruit.

That's me. That's me. And love sneakers. I feel like you have a respect for sneakers. A respect. Not exactly. You wear the same shoes. I like the idea of being a sneaker head. I've always thought about if I'm going to wear the same thing every day,

which I've just committed to at this point, it would be nice to change up my shoes like every other, you know, every once in a while just to be like that's the one thing that is different, but I haven't really dove into that too much. Well, maybe if you befriend Zach, you guys can get into that sort of thing. Maybe. We could eat some desserts together. Ignore the fruit. and just try on some sneakers.

Throw fruit away. I don't know. I don't know. I don't know. Yeah, I don't know if you guys would be good pals. I think you would. We know Fran and him would. It's very true.

All right. If Tasha's with somebody right now, do we think they're still together right now? Have we had any picture rings or anything like that? Yeah, we talked about it. She's wearing a ring. Ellen, she said, Zach'sie's husband material. I think, it's pretty apparent.

I think it's Zach. Yeah, that Ellen interview is interesting, but she would say that just outright. Yeah, it makes you think that it's not Zach C because of how outright she said it. But I can't imagine her. I can't imagine it being Brendan. I guess I can't imagine it being Brendan.

I have a hard time with Ivan because I just, I'm not quite sure if that connection is there for them, even though Ivan is fantastic. I just think it's watching the show. It's she doesn't act And anywhere close to the same way with these guys As she does with Zach She did say to Zach C

It's easy with you And usually that's an indication On the show of like Not that the other relationships are hard in any way But with Zach it's just everything sort of fits The only thing that sort of makes me think it's Brendan If I don't think it's Zach C Which I definitely do

But it didn't know the clip of Tasha In the spot where she would potentially Get Proposed to And she's crying and we know that Brendan is very back and forth about whether or not he's going to be able to propose at the end of this. So the only thing I could muster up would be that Brendan like gets cold feet and can't propose and that sort of derails everything. I took her crying at that part as a, I'm just overwhelmed that I'm about to be engaged. Yeah.

That's fair. Or she just sent home the, maybe she just sent home the guy who lost. Yeah, something like that. I will say I am not going to handle it well if and when Brendan gets sent home. I'm such a Brendan fan that it's going to be absolutely heart-making when Brendan gets me. He has those beautiful eyes, too, that when you cry, it makes it ten times sadder. You know, the blue eyes get all, like, glassy, and it's just a piece of beautiful cryer. Yeah.

From the ones couple of times he's cried. And so, yeah, it's going to be tough. It's going to be tough for all these guys, because these guys are fantastic. So, yeah. but we're one week one week away almost there we're almost there and then guess what guys we got

Matt James' season right back on the bus and I was so I was watching at my apartment obviously and Robbie was just in the living room watching it as well half paying attention and a commercial for Matt James this season came on and I said out loud and not even to him while the Matt James commercial was going on I was just like this is awesome

that they're turning it right back around and we get it January 4th No break time. Right. Like, you know, the world's obviously crazy and things are getting shut down left and right. And just for the bachelor and the bachelorette to end the bachelorette and then I think we have a week in between and then we just fire it back up with the bachelor. It's just awesome. It's awesome.

And it's especially awesome for this podcast. So programming note, our last podcast of this year will be the Bachelorette finale recap, which is very exciting on December 23rd. That will be our last episode of this year. then we'll be back for Monday, January 4th. We'll be our first episode of the new year. And then boom, that Wednesday, we get Bachelor premiere recap. So really exciting stuff. I'm excited that we get to have Trent on this podcast for even longer because usually we do

a season, then we get a break. And we don't get a break this time. We got Trent for a whole another season, and I'm really excited about it. Are we going to, this is a question I can totally ask you guys not during this show. Yeah, let's end this. Let's end this first. Yep. We will take the logistics talk off the podcast.

So thank you guys all for listening. And we will be back for the finale next week. Woo! Love you guys. When we first spent the night, nothing else would ever feel that way. In my room, it all changed. You see something in your. I'd be the same

But I wish that I could grow up The way in which you grow up Because then you never see me cry And I'd feel like a better guy Because nothing Nothing I said to nothing We first spent the night

No nothing I said the nothing I'm missing you And I just kind of want your bite If that's true Well, I'm sorry.
