And just like that...(omg is any one watching that and want to dm with Jenna about it?!?) we are off to the races! And by that we mean it's the first real week of dates for our himbo tree of a man with bad fashion. We get some randomly constructed group dates, a classic over the top one on one, and not one but TWO villains. What a BOGO sale! So sit back and relax as your annoying gay hosts recap, go on tangents, and unintentionally promote How To Win The Bachelor by Game Of Roses. Will Danika fall into the pit once and for all? Stay tuned!

After a refreshing crisp one week break WE'RE BACK (despite pleas from our loved ones) to recap Clayton Echards season of The Bachelor. Who's Clayton you ask? Well he's of course just a small town guy who likes to fuck and collect quarters. So now that you know all you need to know about our 26th Bachelor sit back as Jenna and Danika break down the night one arrivals, night one self eliminations, and inevitably call him the wrong name by accident.

Thanks for joining us on what is our 10th season of podcasting this romantic train wreck! We love you!!!!!!

Ho Ho Hold up this was the best god damn finale in years! And we're both super happy and sad to see Michelle's season go! To celebrate the reason for the season we invited Pod Fiance, Andrew, on to giggle with us, do ASMR tangents, and critique two great men who honestly are just so great we are grasping at straws to be our usual cunty selves.

Thank you to Michelle Young for giving her whole authentic self to this, and us. Some of us don't deserve you but we are for are so very grateful. And a huge thank you to all who have guested this season!! Could not have done it with out you! And Finally thank you so much to our DCP community and friends.

It's Michelle's Fantasy Suites and holy shit what an episode! I kinda feel like the shocking M Night Shyamalan style twist ending had us fully unhinged and Bachelor Nation completely fucked up. So join us as we recap, try to make sense of it all, and project our feelings! You know, the usual!

If you have your Date Card Bingo cards at home...we hit a lot of the faves talking points! (see the insta)

Taylor Swift blew everyones gourds this week by releasing a 10 minute version of her emotional sleeper hit 'All Too Well', in which she eloquently and assiduously details a traumatic relationship and break up. We should be thanking Taylor for the vulnerability and jamming out...but alas hot takes were had by some (mostly men) and one in particular that left me and others unsettled. Nick Viall apparently watched the video and his first thought was to put down Taylor for still talking about it 10 years later, be defensive of people who do toxic behavior, and completely miss the points made about how the age gap caused harmed. He then asked a Therapist to come on his podcast to dissect all the ways in which a 20 year old handled herself too emotionally, and how we as a society are using knowledge of bad behaviors as 'weapons'.

Anyways I decided i would do a podcast too, and so I invited some friends on and we have a good old fashioned discourse.

Note: this is raw and loose conversation between three friends, not experts. These are our opinions and feelings, not hard and fast rules. We discuss heavy topics of emotional abuse, inappropriate age gaps, and depression/suicide, please be advised.

Thank you to Tristan and Candice for coming on and being vulnerable.

This week Jenna is beyond excited and grateful to sit down and recap and chat with Ash from AshTalksBach!! This hard working teacher and Bachelor commentator is one of our faves! Witty tweets, succinct and nuanced newsletters about the problematic aspects of the franchise AND it's fandom, and just all around great instagram content...Ash has it all! And so does this weeks episode! Discourse, recapping, and of course Nick Viall meandering.
