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.

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 Follow us on insta @datecardpod Twitter @datecardpodcast Tiktok @datecardpodcast @jennawithasmile Art: Olivia Zakes Green https://www.oliviazakesg...

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....

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? Let's make the women and Grant crumble under the pressure of making a important choice in 30 min. Do you know you have 30 minutes?! 30 minutes???? 30 30 yeah.

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 futur...

Week 2 of Grant's season was a slam dunk with all the passes (stealing time) and dribbling (drama).

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.

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!
