April 12, 2020 Season 2 Episode 18: Tiger King Recap
Warning: Episode contains spoilers!
This quarantine has sucked us into the “Joe Exotic” phenomenon. We really did not want to click on this Netflix series, but with not much to do, and constantly being bombarded with memes of Joe and Carol on IG, we finally caved.

This week we do a deep dive of why we think this show is soo popular, who we think is the real “villain”, and which parts we think were the most outrageous in this documentary.

Whether you are fascinated with the series, or still having second doubts about binge-ing this odd show, join us and find out where we think Carol’s husband really is!

March 01, 2020 Season 2 Episode 12: The Bachelor Recap
Many of you know our obsession with the ABC series The Bachelor! I mean we even did our own version of it (check it out on our IG TV). We were trying to refrain our thoughts on the show, but this season has been so ridiculous and drama-filled so we couldn’t not resist!
Listen as we share our thoughts on Pilot Pete, the girls on this season, and what our predictions are for his final 3 contestants! (warning: if you are not caught up, there are some spoilers)

Even if you don’t follow the series, this episode is entertaining and outrageous on its own based on how immature the contestants are this season!
