May 08, 2025 Love Is Blind's Joey & Sara Tell All - Ep 385
SURPRISE!!! Today we're joined IN STUDIO by Love Is Blind's Joey and Sara! Going into this recording we truly had no idea what was going to happen. Would this be a group friend hang or a Tell All-turned-Love Fest??
Today Joey and Sara officially set the record straight on the dating rumors and what it has been like being on the receiving end of so much online hate. Sara shares her side of the story when it comes to Monica's betrayal accusations, and Joey shares the ways in which he's been misunderstood. LOTS of fun, laughs, and juicy tea in this conversation. We loved getting to know the REAL Sara and Joey and think you will, too!

April 08, 2025 The Bachelor's Carolina Tells All - Ep 380
At long last, we're joined by Carolina from season 29 of The Bachelor!

Today Carolina dishes the behind-the-scenes dirt on being the season's "villain" and shares the many things Grant told her off camera. She also provides loads of juicy context for the season's most polarizing scenes. Did Grant act like a player? What did Rose *really* tell Carolina off camera? Have she and Dina patched things up? And is Mean Girl Mob Mentality a thing? We devoured this candid conversation with the open book that is Carolina and we think you will too!
