Ally!

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 04:27:24 -0000

In a shocking turn of events: lesbians stay together. Even if they should not. Less shocking? That Brussel sprouts were the real villain of season 2 of The Ultimatum: Queer Love. Don't worry though we have allyship to turn this ship around!

Love you Shannon YES HOMO @dotherosesalign @astrologychef

U-Haul-Timatum

Mon, 30 Jun 2025 00:34:04 -0000

We're not sponsored by Spotify but after this recap of the first chunk of season 2 of the queer ultimatum... I think we should be. Alas - Shannon and I squeeze in one last ounce of pride and dive deep into the saphic mess that this seasob is bringing and ya'll we're obsessed and impressed the show was able to do the damn thing again.

Folllow Shannon on twitch @astrologychef and on IG @dotherosesalign

Gaggy vs Clatoe

Fri, 11 Apr 2025 07:00:45 -0000

As per the usual off season is getting heated with various maaggaa scandals, podcast tell alls, weird beefs, and guilty plea deals in Texas?? So Shannon and I jumped on to catch up and to attempt some nuance at this DO BETTER moment between former lovers Gabby and Clayton. And tbh I think we killed it.

Will be back with more off season catch ups xoxox

Finale Girls Want The Same Thing

Wed, 26 Mar 2025 11:16:01 -0000

And really... much like the party girls - we locked in for this three hour finale. And I'm glad we did cause it was quite the ride. Joined by content creator and indie filmmaker Tess Higgins, all is discussed including the undue negaivity about Grant as a whole, theories about Grant's sisters opinion, Julianas edit, a nuanced take about Litia's role in the last chance date goodbye, and some fun bachelor throwbacks. Tess is all about meta game play talk and I was so excited to get unhinged again.

Huge thank you to her and make sure you follow at @him_thefilm on IG and @tessdhiggins on tiktok

Weeks Like This Don't Come Around Too Often

Wed, 19 Mar 2025 11:22:43 -0000

At first I wasn't really on the train of oh wow this season is going too toooo fast but now I am a bit like wtf?!? How are we genuinely at seggs weeks and how are these his final two? Thank god Ash and Epiphany bullied me into a threeway episode because omg THINGS NEEDED TO BE DISCUSSED. From the hate Grant's gotten, to the casting of the women, to the editing, who eff'd and who didn't and EVERYTHING in between.

Oh shit next week is hometowns?! Okay....if you say so. But at this rate i feel like we might as well go for as much chaos as possible?

Than god Shannon came on and we could dive deep and defend Carolina tbh.

Do You Take Grant Bucks w/ Epiphany

Wed, 12 Feb 2025 13:06:22 -0000

Do you think you can use Grant Bucks to buy eggs? Asking for a friend. But honestly I might need to take out a Grant Loan to afford them anyways. Hopefully my bad Grant Credit Score wont affect my Grantrest.

Thank goodness iI asked my financial adviser and friend Epiphany to recap week 3 of Grant's season because we needed to get in to it. And by it, we roast the men of BN who disliked Kendricks Half Time Performance. We also get to the bottom of the drama this week and speculate about the future of The Bachelorette.

Thank you Epiphany for coming on and make sure you follow her at @rpiphanyxiann

Half Court Shot w/ Ash Talks Tea

Wed, 05 Feb 2025 13:30:42 -0000

Week 2 of Grant's season was a slam dunk with all the passes (stealing time) and dribbling (drama). Okay I don't fully understand basketball, but anything that essentially uplifts the WNBA...I am here for. With an assist from friend Ash Talks Tea - we will definitely make it to March Madness.

Thank you so much Ash and make sure you're following her at @ashtalkstea

Party Girl w/ Monique

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 13:26:23 -0000

And so of course I had to have my friend Monique from The Rose Noire podcast to talk about Grant's big night and all the (only) 25 sparkling ladies. And also according to Grant's hit song...party girls all want the same thing: they want to live, drink, love, turn up.

Thank you Monique and make sure you follow them @kemdoctor1 and @rosenoire

The Bachelor is back baby and with that comes another pack of dazzling pediatric nurses and models, all vying for the affections of one Mr. Grant Ellis! Perhaps the most handsome bachelor in the shows 300 years on air?!? With Shannon from Do The Roses Align, we spend our standard 2 hours combing through the bios and instagrams looking for the secret magas, potential fruits, and of course who Nick Vile will become obsessed with.

Follow Shannon at @dotherosesalign and on twitch at https://m.twitch.tv/astrologychef/home

The Jenn Tell All w/ Epiphany

Thu, 29 Aug 2024 05:20:53 -0000

Sheeple Pleaser w/ Claudia

Wed, 07 Aug 2024 12:45:49 -0000

Jenn may be a BaaaBaaaBadass but most of her remaining men are a bunch of sheep that need to be herded. And to help me scream into the void about it I'm joined by Claudia from The Rose Noire Podcast. Together we discuss how Jenn's vulnerability, The Devon Situation, and how Jesse Palmer shines.

Huge thank you to Claudia and make sure you check out @rosenoire

Wed, 31 Jul 2024 12:40:22 -0000

Fri, 21 Jun 2024 12:09:01 -0000

The Bachelor franchise and the Pageantry world have had a long and rich history, one that makes sense on the surface.

Fire Chris Harrison Again

Tue, 28 May 2024 12:57:44 -0000

Three years ago disgraced host of The Bachelor franchise, Chris Harrison, was fired for his racist outburst and subsequent insincere apologies. But in those years he has attempted to rewrite that time and his legacy. And with the impending reality of his new dating show and continued image rehab...Limi and I wanted to work on a timeline deep dive of what happened in 2021 and prior. In hopes that it would not be swept under the rug or misremembered. To hold space for what it was like during these intense moments, reflect on how we got there and here in 2024, and to ask the real question: was he actually fired or treated like a powerful rich white man?

CW: talk of racism and chris harrison

My Bachelor Only Breaks His Favorite Toys

Wed, 24 Apr 2024 22:49:47 -0000

In this off season episode I'm joined by Shannon who, like me and Taylor, is also a member of The Tortured Poets Department. Which if you're confused about what that means, it just means we're traumatized gays with some mental illness. Together we try to spread the gospel of the alleged secondary layer of both albums...and oops it's almost two hours long. Just like this god forsaken double album drop. lol

Thank you @dotherosesalign as always

Happy Bday Bachelor w/ DTRA

I don't think any of us saw this season and what it would bring coming. But it came for us regardless. The highs, the lows, the twists, the expected, and everything in between. We did it together. And to help celebrate that I was stoked to bookend the season with Shannon from Do The Roses Align. Together we talk about the finale, the edits, the girl power, the gay, the Bachelorette announcement and of course we talk THE PLANETS.

Do (it) Or Die Week with Positively Uncensored

Wed, 13 Mar 2024 12:38:04 -0000

I have to say after an entire season of beating us over the heads with tennis related moments, they really failed during Fantasy Suites to bring us any tennis related sex puns. According to a list of tennis terms I just googled, we could have seen talk of Forehand, Stroke, Ground Stroke, Foot Fault, and being a Receiver. I'm disappointed. But what does not disappoint, is this weeks podcast with guest Leah from Positively Uncensored! Together we talk about the overnight dates and what was said in the unsaid, the golden ladies, who knocked boots, and miraculously fixed the BIP problem facing the franchise. YOU'RE WELCOME!

Big thank you to Leah and make sure you're checking out her tiktok and podcast at @positivelyuncensored

Fri, 19 Jan 2024 01:19:41 -0000

I hope you enjoyed your short off season (blink and you'd miss it) because the Bachelor waits for no one and Joey Graziadei's journey to find a engagement-situationship is UPON US. But before we start this season officially we must meet the THIRTY TWO single ladies ready for our curly haired soft boy and judge them purely off of a disjointed bio captions, their instagrams, and of course sun signs. Thank you to Shannon from Do The Roses Align for podcasting with me for 2 hours!! We managed to give first impressions to every one (let's be honest a lot of these ladies are too good for this show, except for the very loud Trumper) AND review Saltburn.

No matter what happens we cannot, under any circumstances STOP BELIEVING. DON'T. I know you want to but it's vital, that you don' stop believing...in this franchises ability to make us feel some sort of way. And with week two that's just what they have done. Joined by writer and almost swiftie Samantha Allen, we illustrate all the ways the Golden Bachelor is thriving and also scaring the shit out of us. BONUS: we spend time at the beginning and at the end discussing Gaylor in a critical and interesting way that you'll love. Oh also also talk about Paradise... but let's be completely honest here...wtf is going on?? ABC are you okay?

Anyways huge thank you to Samnatha as always and make sure you check out her book Patricia Wants To Cuddle!! Now out on paperback! And stay tuned for her next novel!

And just like that friends things are getting serious. Meet the parents serious! And while it might seem like a fast season in some ways, it undeniable that Charity has DONE THE DAMN THING WELL. This top 4 brings the heat, the romance, and as previews show the drama as well. And to help me breakdown all we learned about the remaining men, I am joined by friend of the pod, Limi! Together we catch everyone up on how our lead masterfully narrowed down her men, how the families played a roll in opening these men up, the red yellow and green flags they wave, and of course we dunk on Vilal.

Wed, 12 Jul 2023 12:57:35 -0000

Hey Barbies and Kens and Skippers everyone in between! Date Card is back with another breakdown of this season of The Bachelorette! Where our very own life size Barbie, Charity lawson, is on a mission much like Margot Robbie....to find the true meaning of life. Or to be truly bothered by a bunch of hairless buff Kens with suspicious fashion and ego issues. And to help me get into all the ways men are just digging the bar even further down than it already was, I am joined by friend of the pod Cam from What I Will Say podcast. We spend some time chatting about Speak Now TV, we die on a (Jonah) Hill about misogyny, flip flop on Braydens villain arch, roast the Aarons, and get in our feels about Warwick!

Thank you again to Cam and make sure you all are following her @whatiwillsay and sub to her podcast immediately!

Breaking The Longest Kiss On A Podcast Record

Wed, 05 Jul 2023 12:57:57 -0000

Welcome back friends to week two of Charity's journey to find love! This week the men must prove their love through many silly challenges that involve traumatizing the various gathered live audiences and maybe Yosef's daughter. We also see some romance building while other men fall victim to egos and jealousy. But hey at least if Charity ever loses an earring, Brayden has got her covered.

And Just Like That We Get Petty

Tue, 04 Jul 2023 00:00:58 -0000

And just like that...the gals are back! And boy do they all have some issues to UNPACK. But never fear two of your fave podcast gals (Jenna and Torry from RTBP pod) have also teamed up to help them and in the end learn a little about themselves along the way. Sex and The City has a way of doing that doesn't it??

So grab a fresh cosmo, and hold on to your Birkin friends...because we're about to find out what happens when people stop being polite...and start getting real.

Make sure you're subcribed to Ready To Be Petty!! https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ready-to-be-petty-a-pop-culture-podcast/id1440850797

And just like that we have a 'new' season of The Bachelor! For better or for worse we are now rooting for a deep voiced man who is likes football and has aspirations of being a Wife Guy (oooof that title has been ruined hasn't it?). Despite very little effort on the franchises part to make us feel any sort of connection with this man created from on of Bachelor Clues' AI generators, Date Card Pod is back to recap, theorize, talk shit, and befriend/make enemies with the 30 (now 20) women who are on the journey of a lifetime to answer the age old question: Is he hot or is he tall?

Thank you to all the besties and haters keeping this podcast going and I hope you enjoy the new podcast structure I am workshopping! Love you all! Couldn't do it without you! Rate and review and tell a friend!!

Thank you as always to Kellie for bringing the nuance and the big picture outlook to this show! Please please please (x30) make sure you follow her on insta at @allswellthatendskell

This week Jenna is joined by friend, Roses For Every Body campaign member, and Love Island fan Olivia to recap this week of Paradise. And all the ways in which the show tried, failed, and in some ways succeeded to perform life saving CPR to this dying dinosaur of a franchise.

Sat, 15 Oct 2022 04:07:22 -0000

You ever wish you maybe didn't know as much as you do about these contestants and could just enjoy the show from an outsider standpoint????

S11E15 - Gaylor 101 with Cam

Thu, 13 Oct 2022 19:00:59 -0000

Welcome to Gaylor 101! Your crash course to that thing you keep hearing about on Tiktok.

In this 'very special episode' Jenna is joined by Cam, the host of What I Will Say podcast, to give an general overall yet decently extensive look at the Gaylor community. Which assembles around the idea and theory that Taylor Swift is not straight. Now before you write a comment calling us weird (which will be deleted and you will be blocked anyways) we invite you to just give it a listen. With an open heart and mind. Especially if you are a queer ally. None of this is that deep or scandalous, and you will find it is not much different from how many of us engage in celebrity gossip and fandoms. Like The Bachelor even.

Cam and Jenna go over the years of queer coding (that aren't related to ships), a glossary of terms and events, some of the gayest songs, and perhaps the most important part we talk about the 'why we do it' and some reasonable guidelines on how to enter this space in a healthy and respectful way.

Thank you again to Cam and make sure you're subscribed to her podcast for all the amazing analysis and takes!

Find Cam at https://open.spotify.com/show/3Zkz3z7lLpOO3TllQTRdLN?si=0724370f5aef425f https://whatiwillsay.tumblr.com https://www.tiktok.com/@whatiwillsay?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pc

S11E14 - Post Feminist Paradise w/ Marilyn Minton

Fri, 07 Oct 2022 19:00:26 -0000

Have you ever thought about how progressive types can stand to watch this franchise? Well Marilyn has and she decided to dive so deep in to the why and how, that she wrote her Masters dissertation about the topic! And this week she is on the podcast to talk about the the swing back we all have been feeling, why it feels good to have discourse about the shows, and the importance of movements. OH AND we also recap episodes 2 & 3 of this season of Bachelor In Paradise...because there was some interesting and suspicious things that happened this week.

Thank you Marilyn!! So lucky to have you on!! Make sure you follow her @marilyn.movies

S11E13 - Happy Birthday Luce

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 19:28:58 -0000

Pack your best tennis shoes y'all because we're heading to the sandy beaches of Bachelor In Paradise, and listen under no circumstances should your feet be exposed. Trust us. Also trust us when we say that Jenna, Danika, and Andrew had a blast breaking down all silly messy weirdos that have decided to brave the crab littered walking paths and sweat soaked day bed palapas to find love. Stay tuned at the end for vulnerable chat followed by 7 minutes of an amazing cameo recording by Bennett Andrew Jordan II gifted to Jenna for her birthday.

S11E12 - Worried about heterosexuality with Samantha Allen

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 13:00:49 -0000

Have you ever thought about how The Bachelor and Bachelorette is a lot like a horror slasher film? In that it's a sexy elimination based competition storyline in which we, the viewer, are glued to the screen to see who the last one standing is? Well our special guest and author, Samantha Allen, has and she's on this weeks episode to talk about her bachelor-ish queer horror novel - Patricia Wants To Cuddle - and to talk about the devastating slaying that was this finale. The monsters and gore of it all.

Make sure you pick up a copy of Patricia Wants To Cuddle asap and follow Samantha on twitter at @SLAwrites

S11E11 - A cautionary tale with Olivia Green

Sat, 17 Sep 2022 13:56:16 -0000

I guess we just got part of a finale. As a treat. But honestly it felt like a trick. And to help Jenna break it all down she is joined by friend of the pod and 1/6th of the amazing Roses For Every Body campaign, Olivia Green. Together they weave a cautionary tale of what not to do, wether that be drive drunk with an 18 year old, try to 'win' a break up before a rose ceremony, tell a gay you're not ready to propose to his best friend, or finally...date a single mom up until you leave for the show and text her that you're just trying to get clout. So gather around the campfire friends as they tell you the tale of The Bachelorette Finale Part One. Oooooooo

Sat, 10 Sep 2022 15:00:25 -0000

Double the leads, double the fantasy suites....double your pleasure. Well...actually we're not sure we can call what happened this week pleasurable. Messy? Yes. Dramatic? Yes. A masterclass on How To Lose A Gal In 10 Days? Very much yes. And here with Jenna this week to break it all down is friend of the pod, Limi from @takethisrosepod! Oh and for Reality Steve, who clearly listens, we can provide a timestamp for when we dunk on you if that helps. It's round the 10 minute mark. You're welcome!

Mon, 05 Sep 2022 05:01:21 -0000

The stars and moon had it out for us this week and we didn't get to record a MTA recap but instead you get to a little gossip as a treat and then a whole ass amazing bonus episode about queerness and fatness in bachelor nation, as the main course!! Recorded with our dear friend Allie in 2021. It is such a good and nuanced conversation and we are so happy the main feed gets to hear it now!! Thank you again Allie!

S11E9 - Daddy Lessons

Sun, 28 Aug 2022 17:58:14 -0000

This week Danika and Podsband Andrew tackle hometowns while Jenna gets drunk for her birthday and sings Taylor Swift badly at karaoke. They talk about their own hometowns, the battle of the dad Italians (Rachel’s dad v Tino’s dad) (the Mario and Warri of our generation), have a serious talk about parents dying and meeting folks in the midst of all of that, and then tell like maybe three jokes.

S11E8 - Sad Jennider Coolidge

Mon, 22 Aug 2022 03:34:01 -0000

Sorry for the late drop, we have been attaching the red strings on our Logan didn't get covid conspiracy board and we just lost track of time. But fret not lil bbs we're here and now you can kick back and listen in as we catch up on life, recap everything that disastrously happened this week on Gachel's journey to find husbands (have you tried just being gay?), and Jenna admits to selling out in a major way.

S11E7 - This show sucks lol

Sun, 14 Aug 2022 05:09:27 -0000

What happens when you have two wildly different Bachelorette leads on one season and two wildly pessimistic podcasters trying to bring nuance to an impossible show concept?? You get two canceled podcasters. JK JK But also please forgive us for this one episode, in 10 seasons, where we kinda sorta barely stand up for men. We promise to be more hateful again next week.

S11E6 - All aboard the SS Douche

Sun, 07 Aug 2022 17:35:56 -0000

Grab your passports besties (and well as a many KN95 masks as possible) because we're boarding a cruise ship (wtf) in order to help our ladies find love! We can't see how any of this will break badly at all. nervous laughter

But before a new virus gets spread aboard by these men with bad haircuts and even worse opinions, we must dissect all the juicy and dramatic moments of this week... and WOOF (shout out to Rambo! We're rooting for ya!) there were many.

S11E4 - Franco Fan Club

Sat, 30 Jul 2022 03:17:14 -0000

This week we had some snafu's that lead to a non traditional recap... more of a 20 rant-cap of week 3 and some of the poopy men and then a Patreon drop of a fun bonus episode we did a few months ago! We think you'll actually find this episode pretty refreshing!! Think Winter weather and jacuzzis.

S11E3 - The way Gabby says Meatball

Sun, 24 Jul 2022 17:12:25 -0000

Okay okay okay we're in it NOW folks! Week 2 of Gachel's journey to find love (with each other????) is underway. Naturally that means a date that objectifies the men half naked, awkward kisses in zero gravity, and forced country pop singing by two people we have never heard of. Cheers to finding love!

But really the true love forming is Danikas obsession with Gabby.

S11E2 - Double your lead, double your fun

Sun, 17 Jul 2022 04:03:47 -0000

And just like that we're officially back in to it with cringe limo entrances, men talking over the women, and magic tricks??? Sure why not. The men really didn't impress but our stunning leads, Rachel and Gabby, sure the fuck did. With lots of shit talking, making heart eyes at each other, laughing at the expense of men, and generally controlling the environment in a way that makes us horny.

Listen in as guest host and friend of the pod, Kellie, and Jenna dissect some bach gossip and ponder the bigger picture of what it means to have two leads. Spoiler we kinda spiral. It's great.

Thank you Kellie!! Follow her @theofficalchubbybunny

S11E1 - He's a 10 but he likes Entourage

Mon, 11 Jul 2022 15:00:04 -0000

WE'RE BACK! And holy hell that was a delightful extended break. Although we didn't necessarily relax with a cocktail in hand the entire 4 months, no - one of us got married and finally consummated the dang thing nice and one of us worked on a campaign that slanders the show. Time well spent if we say so our selves!

But all that aside we're back for another season of sparkling dresses, gross kissing sounds, men being rude, and of course some drama! But now with 100% more lead! That's right folks we got a BOGO! But in all seriousness, we are excited and happy for Gachel and frankly a structure change!

Before the big premiere tonight listen in now as Danika and Jenna attempt to subscribe morality to 32 men only based on a singular black and white photo and three facts the show pulled out of thin air!

S10E11 - Will You Accept This Gay? with What I Will Say Pod

Fri, 03 Jun 2022 23:00:04 -0000

What I will say…is that Cam - co host of the @whatiwillsay podcast - and Jenna have a super fun time discussing all things gay in the bachelor and celebrity realm!

We talk Bayley, queer conspiraships, the closet, community, the top 5 queerest moments in the bachelor franchise and so much more!!! It was a honor to chat with Cam and I can’t thank her enough!!

Check it out and then check out Cam’s tumblr, tiktok and podcast! It’s one of Jenna’s Fave Things™️ or maybe it’s like Goop and I recommend it to you but we call it Poop because that’s us.

Happy Pride bbs!!!

S10E10 - Dues Paying Members of the Patriarchy w/ Sophie James

Sat, 19 Mar 2022 05:09:30 -0000

We did it. Like we actually fucking did it. We made it through the last 2 1/2 months (Clayton's mess) and 16 months (non stop content) of hell. Are we in one piece? Mentally, physically, and spiritually? No (Said in Gabby). But did we have fun? You don't have the capacity to understand what we've been through (also said in Gabby). Do we have a lot of opinions? Yeah (again said in Gabby).

And who else to wrap up this 'journey' up with then bestie Sophie James of Unpaid Emotional Labor!! And true to every podcast we have done with Sophie, we went for two full god given, glorious, daylight saved hours. YOU'RE WELCOME!

Make sure you're following Sophie @unpaidemotionallabor and we cannot ever thank her enough for all the amazing chats and laughs this last year. We love you so much!!!

S10E9 - Nightmare Suites

Sat, 12 Mar 2022 05:18:11 -0000

Just like in Beetlejuice... if you say something 3 times bad shit happens, but perhaps Clayton was too busy playing football as a youth to watch that Tim Burton classic to learn that vital lesson. Because our tall, horny, half zipper sweater wearing bachelor, couldn't stop saying the L Word (ooops wrong show but just as much drama) this week and shocker! bad shit happened. It's so messy ya'll!! But luckily you have two opinionated bitches ready to break it all down with you (hopefully with some nuance!)!

So buckle your useless safety helmets on and join us in this anxiety volcano!!

S10E8 - How to kill a Bachelor

Sat, 05 Mar 2022 05:34:42 -0000

This week on The Bachelor the remaining four women take Clayton to their hometowns and they each individually try to kill him! Between chokeholds, bears, tightrope walking, and a stroll down a spider and alligator infested river...our man with too many teeth in his mouth didn't stand fucking a chance! And if those activities weren't enough to leave him crying shaking throwing up... having to meet the families will!

So sit back and enjoy our completely unhinged recap, where we relate to the related, talk about the Jackass franchise, and Danika gets us closer to being canceled!! Happy Women's History Month!

CW: Discussion about SA starting minute 15 to minute 27.

S10E7 - Sending our therapy bills to Mike Fleiss

Sat, 26 Feb 2022 05:21:24 -0000

Total, actual, real Therapists Jenna and Danika sit down to analyze week 7 of Clayton Echard's journey to find a woman who will validate him like his parents didn't. And gosh do we have some notes. But first we gossip about a recent bach nation break up, and Jenna debuts a new conspiracy in her irregular but often right, JANON segment.

S10E6 - Our Horny Bachelor

Sat, 19 Feb 2022 04:53:08 -0000

The crew is back together (yay!) just in time for this season of The Bachelor to make no fucking sense! That's right Danika and Jenna are joined by Podance Andrew and we do in fact get in to it all (Clayton, buddy, what are you doing??), finally figure out who Pilot Rachel looks like, and we have a cool Vanderpump Rules crossover moment that leaves Jenna scared but intrigued.

Thank you Andrew for being hilarious and for all your work as always!

CW: discussion of suicide in first 10 minutes.

S10E5 - Paid Actors with Ready To Be Petty

Sat, 12 Feb 2022 04:56:23 -0000

Welcome back to The Bachelor! Where totally normal, chill, socially aware individuals come together for a light hearted experience that ultimately ends in a long lasting love story. JK JK welcome to the utter shit show!! air horn sounds No one knows exactly whats happening, but we know it's fucked up, and it's possible someone might die in a waterfall next week. Thankfully we are blessed with a special guest, Torry from the podcast Ready To Be Petty, and we do in fact get petty while re-caping the 5th week of this train wreck waiting to happen. And if I could be so petty...I think this podcast recap is better than the actual television episode.

Thank you again to Torry! Make sure you check out her pop culture podcast on all platforms!!

S10E4 - Shrimp Cocktail Party Time with Ash Talks Bach

Fri, 04 Feb 2022 14:03:05 -0000

Hope you didn't fill up on all the shrimp from last week, because kraft services is back and the drama is SHELLacious! I'm sorry. But i'm not sorry about our guest this week! Ash (from Ash Talks Bach) is back to break down the shellfish (sorry) antics of Shrimpnae and how it affected the women and our himbo Clayton, amongst other Bachelor Nation prawnblems. Okay I will stop now.

S10E3 - Naked and Afraid w/ Bachelor RealiTea

Sat, 29 Jan 2022 02:46:51 -0000

This week while the beloved Danika celebrates her Birthday (love you), Jenna is joined by bachelor commentator friend and fellow meme maker Ariana Wu from @bachelor.realitea! We talk about the art form that is bachelor meme creating, catch up on some light gossip, and recap all that happened in week three of Clayton's journey to find his perfect shrimp cooker. Throw another one on the barbie bitches, cause we got SHRIMPGATE 2022

S10E2 - Everyone loves a rawdog!

Sat, 15 Jan 2022 05:21:05 -0000

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!

S10E1 - He's just a guy

Sat, 08 Jan 2022 04:55:15 -0000

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!!!!!!

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 05:37:00 -0000

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.

Sat, 18 Dec 2021 04:31:57 -0000

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

S9E6 - All Too Nick

Fri, 19 Nov 2021 04:30:21 -0000

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.

S9E5 - Class is in session w/ AshTalksBach

Fri, 12 Nov 2021 14:44:33 -0000

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.

This week Danika and Jenna are back to catch you up on some Bachelor Nation happenings and breakdown all the ups and down of Michelle Young's first real week, in her journey to find a man worthy of marriage. Unfortunately the selection of good ones available is getting smaller and smaller. Unless she likes aggressive pizza narcissists. Which is also the name of my favorite punk band.

S9E2 - The BachLORette ---^--{@

Sat, 23 Oct 2021 03:42:36 -0000

We did it!!! We made it to the long awaited (and well worth it) season of Michelle Young! It's is here and we fucking loved night one! One of the better night ones we've had in a long time! THANK YOU MICHELLE! And I guess, we have to say thank you to the men as well...but only some of them though. And to the good ones, thank you for your service. Danika even tries to give out a special Good Boy Rose. So tune in for that and some Bach Nation gossip chat up top!

This is our 9th season and holy fuck thank you so much to literally everyone who has ever listened to our dumb fart podcast. Even if you're a hater. We love you even more.

S9E1 - Himbo Happy Hour

Tue, 19 Oct 2021 03:08:31 -0000

After a very long, only week long break...The Bachelorette is back! insert wide eye anxiety emoji But that doesn't mean we aren't excited for Michelle Young to find her man!! BECAUSE HOLY SHIT HAVE YOU SEEN THAT PREVIEW??!!

But of course before we dive immediately back into this mess of a show, we have to meet the 30 men vying for Michelle's heart! We roast, we toast, and Danika takes a huge risk on one of the men.

Please note Danika is back but in order to get her back Jenna had to stand at the bottom of the ocean apparently cause her audio is...let's just say it sounds like a NPR interview. In a cool, hot, and beautiful way. Promise to be back to the good shit next ep!

S8E8 - For the right reasons with Joy Ofodu

Fri, 08 Oct 2021 03:30:54 -0000

It's Pod Fiance Andrews Birthday today!!!! Happy Birthday!! And that means we all get the gift of not listening to Danika and Jenna fight about Joe again and your ears are spared from Jenna's new Kenny obsession (for now). But instead we are releasing a special Patreon Bonus Episode that was only available to subscribers, until NOW! Please sit back and enjoy this conversation with Blair from Talk Purity To Me! Where we talk about Bachelor and Evangelical Purity Culture!!

We will be back next week and stay tuned for some exciting news to drop this weekend!!

TW: We do have a non graphic discussion about assault and abuse in relation to the topic. Also please note this is a casual conversation between friends where none of us are experts

S8E4 - Players In Paradise

Fri, 10 Sep 2021 04:39:47 -0000

The rollercoaster that is Paradise hits it's peak this week with a bunch of really shitty game play and trash behavior. Oh that was supposed to distinguish the other weeks from this one. Ooops. No but really this was a toxic week, and Danika and Jenna spend over an hour trying to break it all down (actually just vent) and try to make sense out why Kenny is the King of Paradise.

S8E3 - Thirsty Thursday with Justin Takes The Bach

Fri, 03 Sep 2021 04:20:29 -0000

There's trouble in Paradise...seriously almost every couple is in turmoil and new arrivals JUST KEEP FUCKING COMING. To break down all the drama this week, Jenna is joined by fellow Queer Bach Podcaster, Justin Cole Adams from the podcast Justin Takes The Bach. And let me tell you Justin wants to take it... from a lot of the buff men in this franchise insert wet emoji

Make sure you follow Justin at @justintakesthebach

S8E2 - Jesus, our six inch king

Fri, 27 Aug 2021 03:43:40 -0000

Happy paradise y’all! This week Jenna is another year older and another year wiser (or maybe wine(r))? So she’s taking time off for the first time ever! In her stead, pod fiancé Andrew steps in and Danika tries to wrangle her ADHD to cover four hours of material in less than two hours. Is she successful? Probably not. Is it a good time? Yes. Stay tuned as Danika and Andrew talk about Demi’s entrance, why men are annoying, and ask each other the same questions that Maurissa and Riley had to explore, among so many other things. Happy birthday Jenna!

S8E1 - Heaven's door finally opened

Fri, 20 Aug 2021 04:45:05 -0000

After just two short painless, happy and healthy, and not at all dramatic years... Bachelor In Paradise is back with all new hosts (thank god) and all new contestants (well...some not new ones too)... and we are so pumped! And a little terrified. But hey, that's par for the course it seems!

CW: we play a clip from Victoria's Erotic Poem and it's NSFW, but it is amazing.

S7E10 - And the Emmy goes to...

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 04:36:01 -0000

Katie Thurston has somehow made it to the end of her journey, and found the beard of her dreams! Good for her honestly (not us having a whole ass messy journey in liking him our selves)!! But before she gets to ride off in to the sunset, she has to dump another man, destroy another on stage, and introduce us to her lovely aunt. And honestly we had a fucking blast recapping it all!!

S7E9 - Dude, get a grip(po)!

Wed, 04 Aug 2021 03:36:53 -0000

Apparently that phrase Home Away From Home means something in these bubble seasons, because while it is Hometowns week our asses stay firmly in New Mexico. Where we have to watch awkward dates held agains't backdrops made by children and get to meet some sweet family and friends in a hotel. But also... we meet the, very very very hard to watch, end of a relationship.

TW: we do get in to a nuanced and heavy convo about the break up, self care is advised.

S7E8 - The Men Tell All of Nothing

Wed, 28 Jul 2021 03:30:57 -0000

Well folks it's that time of every season where The Men TM TM TM get locked in a studio with an audience of drunk fans and get told, to tell us all. Yet this season they don't really tell us much, and that's fine by us!! It leaves more time for us to talk about sad dads and podcast hosts (us) AND how amazing Tayshia and Kaitlyn are.

S7E7 - Horny Canadians

Wed, 21 Jul 2021 03:58:16 -0000

Danika and Jenna are back and oh shit the season is somehow almost over. What?! There's only 7 men left and hometowns are next?? Okay, if you say so! Despite not knowing what the hell is happening we recap this rollercoaster of an episode, Danika warns us about the dangers of notes, and Jenna makes a huge ass out of herself. Shocking.

S7E6 - Sentient Episode of Americas Next Top Model

Wed, 07 Jul 2021 03:48:31 -0000

Friend of the pod Staci joins Jenna as they recap week 5 of Katie's journey to find a man who makes her horny but also feel loved. Is that even possible in 2021? Scientists are still working on it. In the meantime, sit back and relax and listen to us bicker about Blake, talk shit about the producers, and of course fall for Andrew S even more!

Follow Staci on insta @stakselrod Thank you so much Staci!!!

69 Twinkies: The Bachelor Pride Float

Wed, 30 Jun 2021 05:18:40 -0000

Welcome back friends! Thanks to covid, we are still on a ranch in New Mexico and running out of date ideas so naturally we get a Truth or Dare style group date. Many food based nightmare stunts, ass hair waxing, and truth bombs later we get to the main theme of this week: Thomas. Is he here for an engagement, a Bachelor Audition, or a pizza...cause fuck this guy looks like Josh Murray so much.

Thomas The Trainwreck

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 04:45:55 -0000

We're back for week three of Katie Thurston's journey to find a man that doesn't make her annoyed. And we are here to say that she has her work cut out for her. Also we talk a lot about Jeff Probst. You're welcome.

S7E3 - Brokeback Twilight

Wed, 16 Jun 2021 04:17:56 -0000

This week bestie of the pod, Connie, subs in for Danika. And while Mom is away we talk about poop (which we would have done with Dan anyways), erogenous zones, banana foreplay, daddy issues, and men almost kissing. Oooof is it hot in here or is it just Katie's sexual positivity??

Follow Connie on instagram at @blackberrybloop THANK YOU CONNIE!

S7E2 - No More Harrisons

Wed, 09 Jun 2021 05:03:11 -0000

In this episode we get to hang out with Tayshia and Kaitlyn in the fake mansion in New Mexico and watch Katie meet too many men in capri pants, get kidnapped in a RV, and make out with a furry! Cause kink is allowed at pride! Naturally Katie sends home some of the men, but theres one old white ignorant man in particular that we are happy to see gone. Bet you can guess who.

S7E1 - Horse Guy vs. Not A Horse Guy

Mon, 07 Jun 2021 12:00:00 -0000

We’re are back for another season of The Bachelorette! But before we jump into Katie Thurston’s night one, we gotta meet the 30 men vying for our vibrator queen’s heart! Content warning… we are bitches.

Thank you for coming along on this journey with us! Its our 7th season and we wouldn’t be here without you!!

S6E14 - Being perceived in the off season

Wed, 19 May 2021 06:00:53 -0000

Oh hey there! It's been a minute...and honestly we could use a few more minutes of off season. messy face emoji But we're dipping our toes back into the pod to say Hi we've missed you, and to pretend we are on a one on one with each other! We talk about where we came from, who we are, bad dates, sex, and of course some light trauma. Cause duh! That's the Date Card Pod way!

Thank you all so much for being here and all the funny DM's! See you in a few weeks for Katie's season!!

Wed, 17 Mar 2021 07:00:07 -0000

This week Jenna and Danika reflect on the ways in which the pandemic and bachelor franchise and Zoom has altered everyone’s existence. Spoiler: it’s fucked

But we also break down the end of Matt James’ journey to find a girlfriend and our feelings about the heavy After The Final Rose airing.

Stay tuned at the end for listener voicemails from Niecey and Gati! Thank you <3

S6E11 - Not a Women Tell All recap

Wed, 03 Mar 2021 07:52:38 -0000

In lieu of recapping the WTA, this week Jenna and Danika have a candid conversation about what happened this weekend in bachelor nation, vis-à-vis the Taylor Nolan Tweets. It's emotional, hard, nuanced, and maybe messy (especially with tech, as our zoom call dropped three times, and made everything harder to sync. Thank you pod fiance Andrew!).

We thank you for listening and being here with us.

S6E10 - Stay home

Wed, 24 Feb 2021 06:44:10 -0000

This week Jenna and Danika stay home while Matt visits some homes...jk jk jk they never leave Nemacolin cause we're still all in a panorama. But we do still get to meet some great families (except one) and of course we can't help but project our own childhood trauma on to them. As is the Date Card Pod tradition. We also update everyone on the status of #FireChrisHarrison

S6E9 - The title of this ep is Fire Chris Harrison

Wed, 17 Feb 2021 07:49:35 -0000

In an effort to make the episode short, we went LONG and it might have been the best decision we've ever made. Thanks to our friend Sophie James for literally blowing our minds and being here to talk us through the past week/century of absolute racist bullshit, both in Bachelor Nation and otherwise. I know part of our schtick is ‘please listen to our podcast,’ but this is actually one worth listening to (please excuse any very brief zoom lags). In it we talk about sociopolitical dynamics, Demi, white fragility, acceptance, accountability, and apologies, Tipper Gore, the Antebellum south, white people trying to protect themselves, APPLAUDING, SUPPORTING, and DEFENDING the Black folks and especially Black women in Bachelor Nation, and the fucking Chris Harrison of it all. (CW: discourse on human trafficking and rape)

This week we say goodbye to the brave patriots of villainhood in Matt’s season. One would think this would allow our hosts to pursue self care. Instead, Danika and Jenna use this opportunity to further delve into bad behavior and toxic energy at our new home, the Nemacolin resort.

S6E6 - Survivor: Nemacolin

Wed, 27 Jan 2021 07:03:10 -0000

This week Jenna and Danika are in decent moods despite the bachelor nation fuckery that has been happening both on and off camera. So sit back and enjoy as they energetically ask bros to do better, point out how fucked up the producers are, and have thoughtful discourse about the stigmatization of sex work. And some how Danika manages to relate all of it to the show Survivor. She's talented like that!

Also we announce some cool upcoming Patreon shit and finally profusely thank our new editor, everyones fave podcast fiancé, Andrew!

Wed, 20 Jan 2021 06:41:53 -0000

Your hosts Danika and Jenna are back to process in real time the break up of another Bachelor couple (RIP Dare), unpack the last day of the trump administration, and discuss yet another flub by Miss Madi. Oh and we have a fucking FEELINGS FEST about what has been coined (somehow) elegantly by Victoria, as 'The Sarah Show'.

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 06:35:58 -0000

We're back to break down week two of Matt's journey to find a bride. And unfortunately that includes a lot of Victoria talk. Sorry. But we also talk about open eyed kissing and social media blunders. So yeah, I guess a pretty standard bachelor podcast if you put it that way. ENJOY!

This episode we wanted to open up a space for BIPOC, Jewish, and other marginalized communities to share their fears, feelings, and frustrations about the attack on the Capitol. And what the hatred behind the actions of 45 and his supporters, means.

Starting at minute 15, we compiled their audios and emails. Thank you for listening to them all.

We want to deeply thank everyone who not only took the time, but spared emotional energy to send these pieces in. It means a lot to us.

S4E14 - Racism in Bachelor Nation

Mon, 25 May 2020 21:45:12 -0000

To say there is racism prevalent in The Bachelor franchise is like saying water is wet. This week we discuss the recent events in Bach Nation regarding Hannah Brown and the fallout. Earlier last week, we put a call to action for black fans of the franchise to record their thoughts and experiences as a viewer. The majority (starting at minute 17:23) of the episode is those recordings, so please listen to the end and hear what these individuals have to say. It's important. Please reach out to us if you're a POC Bach Nation member and you would like to be interviewed for future episodes.

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 06:18:33 -0000

You love meme. You love meme not...but regardless it would be chill if the basic ass members of BN would step off my instagram nuts. A meme is not bullying. OH YEAH please enjoy this recap of the last few days of paradise. Danika is back and we got some feelings about being Bi and JPJ saying bye.

Thu, 22 Aug 2019 05:28:57 -0000

Who would have guessed that finally seeing queer representation on this franchise, would cause so many emotions. Here is the deal listeners, Danika and Jenna (both queer femmes) are mad. And happy. And sad. So lets jump in to this recap and process all the feels. But no matter how many ignorant people want to tarnish this moment, we want to congratulate Demi and Kristian on their love and bravery!

To be honest we are still struggling from watching Danika's future husband be rejected for a senior citizen. But like Katie told Demi, 'you can be scared, but be brave'. And if watching Blake dance and not yeeting off this planet is brave then, call us heroes.

Wed, 31 Jul 2019 06:42:24 -0000

CW: We recorded this podcast immediately after the finale, so emotions and voices run high. But we had fun recording and we know you'll have fun listening.

We DID it ya'll! We made it through the two night finale! Hannah Brown really put us through the freaking ringer, but we stan. She made some mis steps sure, but she also found her voice. And I think we all grew this season. Except Jed, who is a pos. Anyways...enjoy the recap!

The Bachelorette and Hannah decided to come through in week 3 with a fucking banger. It had everything bdsm kink, petty boy shenanigans, nugget tossing, dogs, the mental break down of a man on steroids, and a sassy strong willed Hannah!! I know it’s too early to say this, but I think we can say that we are beginning to fall in love with this season.
