There is a lot of reality TV to recap this episode. Love is Blind, Idol, The Voice, The Bachelor. We talk about Kristin Cavallari and her new 24 year old boyfriend, the Tik Tok trend that did not result in my viral-ness and instant fame, Remi Bader and her breakup. I went to the movies, bought some new products from Trader Joes and recall a mega celebrity that I met and didn't care about at the time. Big mistake, HUGE.

There is a lot to catch up on in the world of reality, we will discuss:

• Love is Blind
• Married at First Sight
• Bachelor

The saga of my missing check gets WILD. I'm on the lookout for an item at Trader Joe's, hopefully you can help. I finish shows, books, and have questions about Tik Tok because I'm a millennial and need help.

For those of you who have heard me talk about this cough I've allegedly had for YEARS, I prove it this episode. I recap our terrible Valentine's Day dinner & recap my first trip to the PNW. Man, it was beautiful. This is your sign to book the trip. This weekend was really chicken soup for my soul.

I bought something that SCREAMS my childhood, figured out how to watch normal TV thanks to some of my listeners, started a new podcast that I finished in a week and am obsessed with. Plus,

• Recap the Super Bowl
• Join a gym
• Have an idea for bathroom wall art
• Honor a friend
• Talk entertainment news

Is it weird that I think I already have an episode titled "Ghosts N Stuff"? There's no way right? I forgot to recap American Nightmare after I gave you time to watch it, I do that this episode. Entertainment news, the most cringe video that I can't stop watching and we have new roommates, they are ghosts.

Bachelor recap!! It's been so long since I've got to talk bachelor with you guys (Golden Bachelor does not count)!

I have strong thoughts about Richard Simmons, I tell you what game show I've been talking to, what show we've watched this week, and thirst after some book boyfriends, hence the title of the episode.

It's giving the beginning of the "What the Chuck Podcast" because I made a playlist inspired by the title of the episode. It's like old times.

You will not believe where a bunch of my stuff from last weeks episode ended up.

Update on my rosemary water journey, the email I got with the chance to be on TV, we watched a lot of shows this week, I'll tell you which ones are worth watching.

Plus the date night dinner we had that was SO GOOD, The Bachelor premiere and I remembered the two things I wanted to talk about last week (of course).

Why do guys always say every thing is "easy" and then it takes them 4+ hours to complete. I thought it was easy...

I share our home update struggles, talk about the mocktail bar that's open in Sacramento, mean girls trivia, our disaster trip to IKEA, the Monday project that I did strictly for the benefit of Chuck.

PLUS...

• I canceled something I've had for 10+ years
• I recap the Clayton podcast
• Keith Lee visits the bay
• Award show SZN
• Entertainment news

A lot happened this week. I had to yell at someone from Etsy and refrain from yelling at someone on Airbnb. We watched the new Hunger Games, I made rosemary hair water, have updates on toxic shock syndrome, watched the Golden Globes, and the entertainment news was in abundance since the last time we talked. Let's catch up.

Hello 2024! Unlike the vast majority of people I'm seeing on my FYP, I am not feeling motivated by the new year. Can we normalize that? This is my England recap episode where I tell you all the things that happened while we were away + update you on what's been happening since we've been back. I also sprinkle in some entertainment news and what's annoying me MOST in the new year. As usual, a ray of sunshine. Enjoy!
