If you need any more pizza roll, say the word, sir, Captain um And of course we have with us as always are wonderful producers Katy Levine and Dr Tanna Banana hosny A. Hello lady. He shoutout, production crew, shout out. Production people were angry at the

production crew couple weeks ago. They were like, they were mad at me. I got one star. They listened to five. They would have been enraged and shut it off. I know they were mad that the intros were too long. And then they said, and then after these long intros, they took the time to introduce the production crew. I shut it off after and they said I had a screeching voice. Wow, you were somebody. This week we actually got an incredible five star review from Pandels, who said,

I love Arden and all her friends. And for those of you who think Arden has a hyena voice, may I suggest listening at a slower speed or just go funk yourself. Those are the two options. Yeah, I like the slower speed idea because then Arden would sound like Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lamb, So podcast takes a different vibe on then definitely a little more evil, and then all of the other guests will be really

it'll be, it'll be. You can't adjust per guests. It would be a warder's first over um, overall, did you guys? I thought of four the Matt James Pandemic season. I thought this was the most fun episode we've had so far, and that was fun. It was fun. You liked it, Captain, No, you didn't like it. It was all you know. They were all just sitting in different places talking about how she loves him so much, in him nodding in agreement,

without committing to any of them. But you didn't like when they were like buttering each other up and maybe maybe going and getting at it in different huts around Pennsylvania. This plays into my ongoing argument that they should have the exact same date, all three women, so he could see how each of them behaves. You haven't. You haven't laid out that thesis yet. This is the first time

you've laid out your seat. Well, I laid out in the past, and I think that they're unfair and why does one lady get fireworks and two other ladies no fireworks. I did think it wasn't fair to see. It wasn't fair to see like butter sex hut and the other one. It was like we're gonna pitch a tent that we don't stay in potent Alright, Gareth, did you enjoy this episode more than the captain rank rank? I hate to

go against orders, but I enjoyed it. Uh sorry, captain, I I there wasn't I thought the dates you were good. But yeah, I totally agree that there's like there's not only a disadvantage with the date, but as you see, like with the time, like Rachel became crazed by the time she showed up. Well, you're also thinking in theory in order, if it's back to back sexually, you're number three, Like that's disgusting. You know. Also normally, traditionally on The Bachelor,

you're not aware of your first, second, or third. Yeah, so if it's not I don't know if Gareth, I don't know if you've watched before, but like in a non pandemic season, you're at like the Sandals Jamaica, and you have your own private residence and you don't see the other women's you don't know when they went. It's it's closer with this sort of tag team dick baton of like knowing knowing when it's like a real like a dick. Really, Katie's living for it. I see about

the dick. Well, I was gonna say. They used to not let the last three ever like talk to each other. Like after that they never spoke. And I think it was even before Lakina, before Tatious season. They ended up having them together like talking. I think it was during Peter season, and I thought that was really it's it's mean. It's very mean. It's very mean to have them all like sitting there and they come in and they're like,

how is your nice? Like, oh hey God, Like no, I'm really good, really relaxed right now, I feel great? Where's the ice? I belwere They started doing that to get to pressure mad as Sin into admitting that she was a virgin. Oh right, because she had to keep seeing all these women come and be like I'm feeling great, doctor. They started doing it and then we're like, this is good TV. Let's keep torturing these poor women. I think it's also pandemic TV. That's why you're doctor that did

you get your doctorate? Doctor in Bachelor producing? Yeah, Bachelor analysis? Right, well, then we have some good questions for you about coming up. It's a classic Bachelor move what they did with the family coming up. All right, here we are, we're starting out. Michelle is ready to tell Matt that she's in love with them. Brie can't believe how fast he's falling for him, and she's excited. The fantasy suits are a big day, and Rachel can't wait to tell Matt that she's so

sure of things. Chris says, wow, it's amazing we got to thirty eight women. Um, but it's he It was fascinated to what try watch him try to spin like the bones own weekend, like the weekend of like the hump Fest weekend of getting to spend time off camera to have tough conversations. What do you really believe? Do you want kids? Where are you gonna live? Am I going to have a job? Later in Anyone, Michelle gets

the first card. She's excited to go first. Um, and before the date, we see Matt saying that it's been hard for him and past relationships going deep, that it's been hard for him to have the tough conversations and to have long term relationships based on his family's past. And this is a big day. He's going to face his father for the first time on The Bachelor, and yeah, now this was hard to watch. I felt badly for

both of them. I felt badly for the dad who thought they were bringing him in just to like cheer on his son, to have like good for you. You got these like you could see he just showed up with innocently thinking it was sort of like hey, cool, like how well he did? You're the Bachelor, And you could see Matt had a lot to talk to him about. There was a lot of unresolved and I just felt

badly for both of them. So he shows up and he's like, um, it's good to see you, and he basically Matt wants a lifetime of wants to get some answer in like an hour or two conversation, and the set of The Bachelor that sort of sets him free to get past these blocks that he has because his father left, um, his he has a fear of commitment. He wants to move forward. He wants to address his demons. So, um, before we get started, how did you guys feel just

going into this rob So with this part in particular? Um, I mean, what is that what you're asking? Yeah? Before I mean, do you want to hear this? Should we should? I read some of the specifics of the actual conversation? All right, I'll just okay, I thought about the dad thing. Okay. So, so basically the gist of the conversation, he was like, the dad comes in sort of hat in hand. He's like, it's nice to be here, and and Matt says, it's been a minute. He goes, it's been a great minute.

And he goes, wow, you are doing well. You've always done well. I'm not worried about that. And he's like, well, I have problems with commitment. And he goes and then the dad tries to kind of make it nice. It's like, well, I don't see you being able to have problems with that that you're gonna be great. So and then the dad. So then Matt says, I want a family. I want to be a father. Um. He's like, well, you'd be a wonderful father. The dad says and he's like, well

that means. What that means is showing up, having tough conversations being there, and he gets more and more emotional, and the dad is basically telling him to get over it. He's like, you gotta let that go. He's like, well, I'm not gonna let that go. And I needed you weren't there. You weren't there. You weren't there to have those conversations. You started other families that affect me. Um. I don't need to know where your head was at so I don't make the same mistakes. We never had

this conversation. And then the dad says, we never had this conversation. Why don't you come talk to me another time? I would have talked to you. I didn't have a father either. My father was killed at five. Do you know what I went through? Um? And then he was I came home one day and your mom was gone. Uh. And then he said, well you weren't faithful. He says, nobody's perfect. You're not perfect. And uh. He says, this is not a celebration. He said, if we wanted to celebrate,

we would go to Chuck E Cheese. And then eventually he came around Matt was talking about his dad would come around just drop off shoes. He started crying. He said, I don't need shoes, I don't need pizza. I needed Dad. And then um, basically eventually there was a hug and the dad said, I tried, Matt. I tried. I'm sorry that I hurt you so much. I'm sorry. I'm gonna work on it to be better and have a healthy relationship.

I don't like you so far away from me. And then they hugged, and then they he gave him a little kiss on the cheek. I'm proud of you. I love you, dad, and then they did like a little thing about beating him at soccer. So it was like a pretty intense I felt badly for both of them. Rob, I'm gonna start with you. Yeah, so uh same. I felt the same way. I definitely uhl when he said at the beginning, the dad was like, you're doing great, Like looking around the place, like, that's not his place, right?

That was his house? Was it? That was just the hotel room. I mean I think it's where he Yeah, he doesn't live in the woods to Pennsylvania. Do you love the kitchen? Love when're done with the kitchen. But yeah, I felt bad for the dad, you know, flop sweating on his head, But um, I just I couldn't help but feeling like, first of all, it's one of the one of the best scenes of the Batchelor so far all year, the real moments. But man, it's just like

you're having this on National TV. You're having this conversation that you and your dad need to have, but it's on National TV. It just felt that felt weird to me that I don't know that that felt like a like a real front dad. But you know, I mean, you know, I had a similar situation growing up, so like I totally my heart goes out to Matt, But like in that moment, I was like, not a National TV. Nobody ever says that in this show, no wherever it goes. Yeah,

but this is all happening in National TV. I know I had a similar bad dad and I and I understand wanting to get like wanting to be like, well maybe now is my I can see the thinking like maybe now is my chance of like if I'm gonna get it, I'm gonna get it right now. With the cameras here like almost the equivalent of like he's got to at least I not like just wanting to not be doesn't even acknowledge that it happened even, you know, like doesn't even acknowledge, you know, but like I watch

him like he's not gonna give it. But even just saying I'm sorry, I was like, well, that's something I guess. But this is what the Bachelor does. And Katie was saying this earlier. If you have a bad if you have a parent that's maybe not you know, Mary Poppins, they're gonna find them and they're gonna they're gonna ambush them, and they're gonna to came in their face like they did a Dean's that's what they do, all right, Gareth,

what did you think? Yeah? I thought, well, to Rob's I think anytime I walk into a hotel Nomina, pretend the person lives there. You really landed on your This is pretty nice. Nice. He did pretty good. Uma, So it seemed like similar units in the building. Am I crazy? Um? But I do think it's weird. It's all weird because it's weird to go on the Bachelor and then be like, oh shoot, I'm getting married engaged in two weeks and now I have to resolve my unresolved issues. So there

is that. I too had a very similar situation growing up. So I was watching it going like, I mean, it's fine, it is whatever, but what should I think The whole scene would have been helped by a rose. If Matt had a rose to give to his father, then it's more on brand, you know, and then he gets it. Yeah, but yeah, it was really weird, and it was weird how often Matt was beating the drum after the dad was probably like, I'm gonna get that scene. I'll watch

it later. And then it was just like every time Matt was on a day and he's like, you know, my dad's a jerke off and I'm not that I'm anything but that I'm not Doug. Is it flour out of four bad dad's make entertaining children? Do you have a bad dad? Dog? No, my dad was cool, but he should um okay, well well that's cool. Do you have a bad mom? Who's a bad parent? Who's who's he just should have done that? Do not disturb door? Close with bad in the room, like like like it

was a you know, roance situation. Early when people are about to bone is the only time you could tell the cameras to go away. We had sex with my dad, so I'll leave us alone. I just kept expecting. I was I was think what he kept saying, he was an imperfect man. I was hoping that was Chris Harrison's cue to step in and you know, yeah, we're all imperfect men, and you know, and maybe remind him that he's got a rose ceremony coming up, because that seems

to be Chris Harrison's whole job at this point. I think they've got him back so much, and he just is there. He's almost like an alarm on your phone. But this film dollars doing it. This was filmed before he was in trouble, and it's still an alarm on the film. Weird things and and it was funny with a three person rose ceremony. I was laughing to myself that what if Chris walked in and there's only two

roses to begin with? What if you walked in after what I went, there's only one left the last rows, Like we all know, Chris, there's only two thanks crash down to the final It is weird every time he comes in. It's it's made more awkward by the news that's happening now. It's almost like a lot it is. It's all I can think is like, is it bades and a bad look in t Like, like it's Dr Banana? What did you think watching this? Dr Branana? You have

a complicated dad? Is that correct? Yeah? I have a dad who would have slapped the ship on me out of me on national television if I pulled this shit. But also, it is so fascinating to watch The Bachelor, the series fumble every like everything when it comes to race. Yes, you think, like it is so like so many stupid companies put out those you know, like we believe, we believe black lives matter, Like it is so easy to even just pretend to know what to funk to do.

It's like the Royal family and the Bachelor producers didn't get the training. Yeah, so they're like boon. Now there's a stereotype about black fathers being m I A should we use that as a plot point on this show? Yes, let's do it. Let's drag this poor man in and make Matt clearly who's uncomfortable, confront him about an issue that should have been discussed with a therapist or a mediator or someone to like help them break it down, and not a television not a producer on a TV crew.

And then let's exploit this situation and just use it as a TV plot point that honestly has zero context. I don't know anything about his dad. I don't know. I barely know anything about Matt. What all of a sudden you need your dad's approval because you're on TV. It's like, what are you twenty eight? Like I don't understand why this was the moment, Like you guys were saying, like this is not the place to have this conversation. Also, what makes you think your dad is going to be

okay with this? Once his airs and he's portrayed as like a real shitty father, which he is, but like that's those are his feelings. You just completely disregarded. And now he has to watch that, your whole family sees that, his friends see that. It's like I don't, I don't. I think then sucked up his relationship up with his father more now because of this, there's a real gutcha quality to when they deal with the families. There's a real like it's not idelicate, it's always a very heavy

handed you know, they don't. It's never for the benefit of the person that detriment. I mean that he's certainly like it was painful to watch the father clam on like finally realized what the hell was going on. He was just there, you know. Yeah, It's like it's like in the what's that movie The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, when the guys all of a sudden like, oh ship,

I'm in the wrong basement at the wrong time. Like the dad was just kind of like, oh no, this, Yeah, he innocently Now again I'm not saying he was great, but like innocently walking in trying to show up for his son at this but like trying to like do like show up and be supportive. And there's it's like, I'm not saying wasn't good for Matt to have this conversation.

I think he should have this conversation. But but but maybe certainly with this show that has proved to not have his back, these are not the people to facilitate this conversation in a way. So overall we all thought it was Chris Chris. Chris Harrison views it as a father's son relationship from yes, Yes, when million people went to antebellum parties and had a great and had a great time. Yes, um okay. So then so then the dad goes. So he feels shaken, he feels satisfied. It

was the best conversation he had with his dad. But he's but he's in kind of a raw mood going into Fantasy Sweets Week. First up, we have Michelle and it's a spa day and they're going to a traditional Pennsylvania duck spa and they walk into this room has a milk bath, a bear and a tub of oatmeal, and a and a bull of butter. And I thought, what happened to that lady that massage Tyler? Like they had a massuse on deck? Like why did they get a room like a panic room filled with butter? Does

that strike you as weird? What did you think of the buttery panic room? What did you were you thinking of Tyler getting massaged? Uh? You know, it's just this, It's the same thing I always say, Uh that they gave them such a that's such a sex date. That's not a discuss our future date. That's a sex date. That's a sex date. Yeah, you know, sticks of butter, that's a that's a first sex day, everybody puts lots of sticks of butter. They really, you know, they really

go for it. And then they eventually closed the door, like they're covered in butter and we're touching each other everywhere, and they go, let's close the door. I mean, I have to say watching that, like they had to really just dive in, like first things first, we cover one another and butter. I wanted someone to come up with an explanation. Show me the Pennsylvania Dutch person who says, this is what this is butter actually, and what better way to wash up better than a bowl of milk?

I glad the word a bunch of feral cats in the area, because that was a real feast for them. And like the feet and the oatmeal, I mean they definitely, they definitely it felt like they had sexual chemistry just in that they just like dove in and put butter all. I mean, they went for it, but but that you don't have to be pretty comfortable with a person to just go in and start smearing each other with sticks of butter. Gareth, what did you think of that? Matt

also tasted the oatmeal after his were in gauce. After the feet were submerged. That's enough to just I don't know, you know what you're supposed to do in there, but I don't think it's eat the foot meal. Um. But I also yeah, right, okay, right, it's like as I socially distanced. Um, but I mean yeah, like it is so I mean butter, while it's weird, like at home, I would be more concerned about like where will the butter be, Like we need to lay down tarps and stuff.

If you're just in you know, a cabin shanty, then yeah, then that is very like that's a very erotic scenario the butter, you know. And it was interesting that they went right from butter to let's shut the door. It seems like the right. I mean even the term traditional Pennsylvania Dutch spa sounds like a sexual position. Yes, Rob, what are you thinking with the with the butter and the Dutch spa? I just I need more, I need more information. Why is this good? In what world? Is

butter a good thing for the skin with milk? They did both look they're they were both like, oh look at that. I was like, okay, things are like it actually felt like real chemistry, like they are covering each other butter, like okay, and it looked slippery, you know, it looked it looked kind of like like once, I guess you give in and you're just covered in but I guess I'd rather be covered in butter than when they do the weird like body paint challenge or honey

or something like that. Doug, I see your hand. You think that Bris and uh Rachel would have just jumped up on a table and their underwear it started spreading butter all over Like would they have been as into it? That's a good question. I think all three of them would, but only just because they want to do whatever that's

they're being asked to do. I mean they also might be super attracted to Matt and like, okay, great, let's is this is the entree to the evening, Like you know, they've been super attracted to this person and it's been like two months and and I don't know, Dr Branana, what do you think do you think Brie and and Rachel would have jumped up and dot been right in that butter? I think, uh brief for sure? What she

seems down. I mean she's downs to you know, have fun and do weird things with I mean, I think it's like they'll do anything Matt tells them to do, to be like, we're doing this, Rachel. I don't remember the gal with the yoga who didn't did it but didn't like it at all. Yeah, yeah, Serena. I probably I would have done it, but I would not have been too into it because it feels it just felt sticky, like it was just kind of like, is this like give like whoever said like, actually tell me if this

has any good like quality. Cannibal was driving by too excited. So then they have a date and uh, and she would saying, you know, you were one relaxed and you were comfortable around my family. I thought they had a great date. You know, her family is just fantastic. She there, she was saying how her parents talk everything through, how they giggle, And I thought her point of it's easy to fall in love, it's easy to sort of be

newly in love, but to stay in love. How this is again one of the most real conversations I've seen. How do you plan to stay in love? Like doing the small thing for each other? Um, and they were at dinner and she's and she says, I hope you know you can talk to me. You mean a lot to me, and talking about his family, asking him, and he goes, why am I solo? I have insecurities my mom and my dad. There's a distrust and an unfaithfulness.

My dad hurt my mom, and I want to be the man that he wasn't the beginning of him reiterating to everyone that he's not that, and then um, yeah, she said, you bring just as much to the table. You are an example of love. And then she said, I know what I feel in my heart. I look at you as my person and I would love to take the time with you. I love you, Matt, and I think he was like, thank you for that. The only person he replies to is Rachel, like, I'm in

love with you two. She's great. Michelle is great, great, She's obviously you know. I think she's the right choice. I don't know if he goes with her, but she's the right choice. And he will never make the right choice. They always go for the sexy choice, the sexy, slightly racist choice. They always go for the sexiest, always sexy,

slightly racist choice. Doug, you're leaning dr Captain when you're leading forward, I would just you know, say, when they were whenever they were all three together, the women last side, I was just like they also they look different from each other, but they all have a you know, kind of same level of beauty. Oh there his batchel of women. They were gorgeous, gorgeous contestants to share. Um, Gareth, what did you think of his date with Michelle? I thought

a very good date. I felt like I was on it. I was fully engaged as well and listening. But it felt to me like he was, like, if you think about like as a closing argument, which it kind of is, I was like, she's just made such a good case, Like everything she said made sense. It seemed like it resonated with him, even after he was done tossing his father under the bus. Um. It was like, I don't know, I was and I felt like I might be wrong.

I probably am, But I felt like he was trying to hold back showing how much he likes her gamesmanship, maybe for the good of the show, because I felt like I do feel like he really likes her. And um, and yeah, I mean they had a better date. When you said, when she said you're my person, Gareth, did you feel like she was your person? Like when you were on that date with her last night, did you want to say? Did you want to say it back?

I did say it back because my head was pressed so closely against the television that I was like she saying it to us, you know what I mean? Like Matt and I are in this and we know what we want and who we want and how to be better than our fathers together. Did you want did you want Michelle? Of the three? Were you like, give me Michelle's the one that's who we want to give the final ring to. Okay, Rob? Did you did you also think she's your one? Or I did? I did the

same thing. I pressed my face up against but she walked away. You saw the grain in my beard, and she's like, well he's too old. Um he could be my father. Um No, but she I think she's lovely. She's a teacher, She's lovely. She was the only one that got that morning after like, hey Michelle, blow kiss you know what I mean? Yes, Dr B. Did you feel the sexual heat with them? Did you feel that he wanted to say it back? What did you feel?

I don't know if you want to sit back, but there's definitely something that they I think they are, in my mind, the most perfect together at this point. They never picked the most, but they never picked the most or we're gonna take a quick break and we'll be right back with Bray. What is your fantasy you, Adam, We're back with Bree Okay. So meanwhile, back at the Knemicolon Ranch, Rachel's freaking out as if she's never seen

this show before. That's the deal. You make it this far, They're gonna go to the bone Zone with two other people. That's what you signed up for. It sucks, but that's the name of the game. So she was like, oh my god. All night while it was happening, She's like, oh my god, oh my god, I'm freaking out. They're getting ready to do this one night together. It's actually like happening. I am in love with Matt and he is with and I loved the inter cutting, so Matt

with I will. To Doug's point, they did get the sexy date, but they got a very standard hotel room. They got a very standard It was fine. It was like a fine Sheridan. So but I did enjoy the inner cutting between them, like stripping each other off on the bed and Rachel being like it's happenings with another woman right now, and they're like, oh, yes, that's right. She's speaking with her like it is freaking out, like my heart is going to explode, and they're like, who

is it? I'm gonna explode, just like the intercutting was just like, don't mean that's your doctorate? Anna and Bachelor producing? Would you say that that was a well done edit? Yeah? Great, juxtaposition great. She was like, I literally got nausea's last night thinking of him being in bed with someone else. It's very fun to torture the front runner to put her last, delicate young racist front runner to put her last.

She's she's hanging on by a thread. So then Michelle walks in so relaxed, looking just the most chilled, like she had a great night. It's so relaxed. How are you so it looks like you're hurting it's morning. Hey, hey guys, how are you so much? Oat me on my shoes? And then she's like it was Pennsylvania dutche like she had to tell them that it wasn't normal.

You can see them, she could take in that. Even Bree was a little bummed out, so you could see her tried to downplay, like, you know, it was Pennsylvania, dutche spin. It was weird and that's why we covered each other with butter. I don't even know. That might have just been there from the last people that were there. Yeah, that might not have been part of the spa. So Brie Brie. Brie even starts freaking out. She's like, I'm having a tug of war. I'm excited, but I'm frustrated.

I'm frustrated with Matt. There's a battle. I'm jealous, I'm excited, I love off, but I got the last rose last time. So um So to Doug's point, you know, our sweet, wonderful Michelle got a stick up water and they're like, here's a giant backpack for the world's smallest bachelor contestant to put on this enormous backpack. We don't need two of them. Let him carry the backpack. She didn't need to carry a backpack in the woods. It's the prop.

She always gets these terrible outdoor dates that she doesn't want to do. And so then they're pitching a tent. He made a joke about I could pinch a tent. You know, I could pitch a ted, I could you know, and she's like, oh, could you get it up? He was like, I could get it up. And then um, she goes, I want you to be comfortable. It's going to be a long night. And um she's like, you know what, I have to be honest this morning that

it hit hard, you know. And then he goes, well, I'm glad to hear you say that because I when I met your family and meeting the other Brie and your mom, and she was like you weren't intimidated by your mom? Was like, no, I have all this stuff I want to talk to Brie about. Um. So then they showed up at dinner. She looked so pretty. She's so pretty. I know she's Anna's queen. She's Anna's number one. No Rainschell fallen Bree with her sweet sweet Queen Bree. Um,

both of them have moms who sacrifice things. And she was like, well, there's an engagement coming up. I want to know where your head is at. Um. He's like, well, things in my life have held me back. Um, so I needed to look at what is a long term commitment to look like. I need to know that I will never be like my dad. Um. We both have stray relationship with our dad, and I don't want that to be part of the journey. I just wanted to

know that who I've become, I'm still okay. So now I have a might have a relationship with him, and she goes, I am so in love with you, and he replied, Oh, that means the world to me. She says, you can understand me, and then they went to would have been my pick forgetting at it on television? I would have picked the log cabin bedroom that Bree got. Loved it, loved the boom, she the glamping theme, and she goes, I want him to think he's waking up

with his wife. And so she was excited and they woke up and whispered, and she goes, I think I got used to that. So I think she would have definitely played with the butter. There's the date. I'm going to throw it out. Who wants to take it first? We're gonna go with her. What is it? What is your new title? You are the dead your first officer? Your first all right? I downgraded myself. Do you want

to be the decade shame? Okay? You know my yachting fetishes to be shaved all right, the bat the William Septs Rose deckhand. Gareth Reynolds, what did you think of this whole date? Yeah, I meant in the woods you could take it to the cabin, but just it was bullshit, Like the whole the premise of making her pitch attempt for nothing was just kind of like ship So that

felt shitty. It definitely feels like to what Doug was saying, like, you know, the situation is conducive to the energy to some extent, and that was just kind of like a waste in a way. So just sort of a weird curveball. And then yeah, I think I was feeling what you were sort of insinuating, Arden is that you know, he was he was the responses here was giving were responses you give to someone who you are not in love with, and so he's expressed so much more to other people.

So it does it did feel like a little arbitrary in a way. But I do think she, I mean, yeah, I mean she to me is like the prettiest of them. Um, great Bael. Yeah, but I was not feeling like he was feeling it. But I also felt like, you know, they were a little hamstrung by the situation. Um, captain, you're leaning forward. He means business. I know, captain, you seem like you mean business. What what do you need to get off your I'm just leaning forward because I'm

about to fall over. Uh, I just think that I don't Here's the other thing I don't get. If they want to win this thing, why don't they come back from these dates and tell the other girls, like really tell them way too much, Like why don't they really give them some dirt so that they have to really think about what happened? Instead of over people be like, well, we had a great night, we got really intimate, it was hot, we had a great time. We've slathered each

other in butter. Yeah, they're always just like kind of like a you know, cute see like I did I have did something with Matt. But they don't, you know, they don't really take Because I think that Rachel could have been I think she could have been driven out of there by her own thoughts more to worry about she was. He wouldn't have let her though. He wouldn't

have let mr. Don't let him go until you've got to you know, you're doing a game show and you have to let him go, then he's all right with it. But no, if it's their idea to leave, he is not. He's not having that, and he likes her the most Robbie b Bachelor of the Year. What do you think? So? First of all, every time he says, you know, repeats the story about his dad, I kind of want to cut to his dad, you know what I mean. Telling

her friend it went really well. I really feel like we made some ground and um, we just haven't one table over, so I'm right, I'm right here. I apologized, all right, Um, yeah, she didn't have the best day date, but at night it seemed. Now here's my question for the room. Is he's very very religious. We've established this. Is he boning? Yeah, oh, Katie, Katie and Nanna, I like, I'm gonna let the bone the bon or experts, Katie.

I think so. I think I think he's just based on how they were in the morning and I feel like he was boning his way around Manhattan before. Yeah. No, I think I think he's religious, but I think he's like coolest sex. He just seems like it. I'm that now. Yeah, Okay, Dr Banana, you think they were getting at it. I yeah, he seems like the kind of guy who's like, well, why wouldn't I, you know, and why wouldn't he to be? Why not? And also the way Brie was acting next morning,

like yeah, it was perfect. So Brie, Brie at she got dicked down, You're like, oh, yeah, did you just say she got dicked down? She got she had dicked down, and then she got dicked down and then stumbled. Both she and Michelle got dicked down and then stumbled back to see the front runner racist or it was just hanging on by a thread to have these two gals dick down, come stumble it into the num. I'll dick out locking homewn. Why does he get tired staying up

all night three nights in a row. I was wondering if it's back to back wash off that dick down, Like, I don't want to be number three three nights in a row. I'm sorry, I don't care who it is. I like myself enough to not want to be number three dick down in a row. Well, first of all, they have to give women a couple of nights in between. That would just be very uncomfortable. I can't even that.

You just couldn't. But I think they give us. I think they give the guy at least a night or a day in between, because he would be tired, because give yourself a bull. I mean they're staying up late and talking like even not the fucking just like the actual staying up late. I mean, he would probably be pretty tired. So I feel like they give them at least a day. But the women, I hope they give

like a couple of days. Oh my god, that would be disgusting on my on my equivalent of that night, we like at nine o'clock, we'd read a book us. By the way, I hate my father. Excuse us. Then that's why I'm on a dating show. That's what the sign says, my father. I'm not my father. Okay, any further things on Brie or Michelle before we move on to Rachel. Doug you're leaning for do you have anything else you need to say? I'm good, Thank you very much. Dr b Do you have anything else you want to say?

And your queen Brie? No? No, no, okay, great, all right, So here we go. Rachel is crying and incomes uh In stumbles in stumbles Dick down bridge and somebody goes with last night, what you expected, and she goes, it was everything I expected and a little bit more. And then she goes, I really got to know intimate parts about him. So she kind of did Doug. She kind of did say I gotta digged down. I don't think she did. She could have thrown some stuff in there

that would be a little bit more. She definitely played up the corny or parts of it, like having to make a tent and uh, she said, I got to know really intimate parts about him. That's it's almost better to not get specific because then your mind get really I saw his pant Okay, So then Rachel says I don't want to see her, and she's crying and she's freaking out because I know this is love. Um. So then it's Rachel's day and he's so peppy for it.

He is like bouncing around his little house that his dad loved a Nemico and and in Rachel pouts sort of stomping in in the world's craziest shirt. Okay she was wearing. First of all, she's stunning. Let's just start with she's stunning. So it's like she still looks good no matter what I'm, you know, in in a beauty contest. I'm not I'm I'm not saying that she's not gonna

beat everybody. I know. I mean, she's stunning, but she stomps off all depressed, looking in this crazy shirt that has like a belly button belly keyhole, like a keel button area, and Katie is leaving forward, and Katie talked to me, Uh, I was gonna say how it looked like something that my friends would have bought from like two one from wet Seal. Yeah, and she's got like this sort of big, blousy like Jean. It was just like my friends, like, that's the deal. If this was

normal life. You have a point. You've got a great point. But that's being at the beginning of Pretty Woman. Yes, yes, I genuinely thought she was going to be like, I can't do this, Like I thought. The vibe was very much like I've given up. I mean that runs does the leg rab Yeah, you're I agree with you, because we also saw a preview of him saying you can't leave. It's like, well, clearly this her shuffling up in this weird outfit, is her about to like break up with it?

And so she's like, so then she's I wrote down she's a drip and a bad shirt, and then she's super drippy and she goes to do pottery. They said they set up this ghost date for the gen zeers out there, do yourself a favor early WHOOPI Goldberg, excuse me? What? She want an oscar for it? It was so good, Patrick Swayze ghost, Demi Moore teriff Um. So they go to do sexy pottery and she's like in a cranky, bad mood. And this woman's like, good morning, I'm gonna

I'm gonna teach you pottery. And she's like the thought of him with two other women intimate make me I'm bearable. I'm bearable. Picturing you being intimate with the their people just got in my head, like she couldn't even just like I don't even know. I'm so freaking bad at making pots. Just sucks. My pots sucks. I'm I gotta talk to you. She's like a pouty thirteen And I was like, let mean pottery can She just like it's inarable,

like you can't. Let just in my head and he's like, today's your day, No, pretty princess, is your day, was your day, and then he keeps going back to like the most romantic moment was when she faced planted hitting the ground on that Parash was like when you hit that ground, which was horrible. Yeah, And I can't believe he strapped her to a child and threw out of the plane. The close up of that child, but they of the plane be a new element on the Bachelor?

Is that the one he likes the most. They should get almost They should try to almost kill her and then his reaction if he feels bad, then that's the one to say how much he missed her. She was gone when she almost died. I think you should always be that entrance fault. Yeah, and I should always bring him back for sure. It took them like maybe that's what got him over his intimacy issues. Was like getting her thrown face first, like Adam a plane. I saw you land face first from a plane. I was like,

I like her, I told her down. I still can't even do I still get my soda. Did the photos of that kid that boy that photo which we put on our which we put on our Instagram. I'm gonna see if I could put it was so in that child. I go back to class. Now do you have the picture that we put up of that guy? It was so insane anyway, So then he goes, he goes, when you hit that ground, I thought, what would life be like without Rachel? And then he goes, she goes, I'm

falling in love with you. I'm falling head over heels in love with you. I'm completely in love with you. And he goes, I'm falling in love with you too. I'm like, to you, do You're not supposed to say that as the name of the game. You don't say that. And then they go for a classic night of boning at Mallard's landing. Yeah, I was like, what you say before you enter? Really for the Mallard to land the Mallard's Landing. This is the kid, this is the boy.

Look how young that kid was. He's like eight. He doesn't even have a peach fuzz. What is the Bachelor? And he put a cool guy team Glass to make a wish kid in his dream play with the beautiful princess. I want to kill the front runner of the Bachelor. I want to go the same time. So then so then they go to Mallard's landing. She's who I'm nervous or gonna be gonna be intimate. And then um, she goes,

have you had worries or insecurities? And he says, well, I was raised with no dad and I've been holding back. But um, and I can I just things that I want to do. Um, I am nothing like my dad. Three out of three at the trifecta Dad, they pano, like I thought we had a nice He goes, so then she actually had a good reply. I have to say. I have to say. She was like, I know you would never walk away from your family, Like I know that this is not what you wished for, but I

think it made you the man that you are. And he goes, Rachel, he has no game. You are all that I think about. And then she goes, all I think about is you is our future together. I'm completely ready for that. I am completely ready to take out a life with you. And to celebrate that, he kissed her with eyes wide, oh the whitest, and then he goes, um, I'm here for Rachel. And then they look out and she was the only one who got fired, and then um, and then she goes in for the kill. And then

she goes into the kill. She just she trips him and pushes him on that bed. Yes, she tripped him. She pushed him on the bed. And they're going to get at it. They're gonna and she wore the dress that he smart, smart, that they pretty woman. That that mall. But we're gonna take a quick break and when we're gonna come back, we're gonna talk about this date and then we're gonna do our Twitter the week. It's the fantasy sweet time. What does your fantasy television? And we're back. Okay, So,

so what did you think overall the Rachel date. We're gonna talk about drip pottery, powdy pottery into I'm not my dad, into sexy red dress that he pretty women for her into like getting at it on the rob I see your hand up first. Okay, First of all, in the pottery, um, I appreciated that somebody from props, I guess through clay on their faces to make it look like they're going at it. There's no way that he realistically had clay on his forehead like that. That

was she had a little in her hair. Yeah. Also, they went back. They also went back after they had her, like and they're like now we can really make it. And then they really got ghosts just like ghost Yeah, but still there's no way that it got up there. They now. My favorite shot of that is when she was like, can I talk to you for a minute, when she had her like meltdown, like she couldn't do the pottery, the shot of the poor woman. This is her big moment, this poor pottery woman, and she was

like she had kind of a thing acclaim. She's just kind of clapping it like we gout of here, like there's just her students are abandoning her said nothing killed. There's nothing more awkward than to be the person there to instruct people who are either fighting or like completely dry hopping in front of you, and you're the other one in the room and could give a shit about making a pot. They don't want to make a pot,

they don't want to make up. And then later on with his I'm not my dad, I'm gonna band, I'm not gonna be in my family, bone Zone City, I'm in love with you two Bob, she did you and then she just at that like what I said early, she's I feel like she's going in for the kill. Then she was like, I will I'm gonna screw you world tonight. You're gonna get Lady dick down. I think dick down needs to be in the name of this episode. So dickdown is so good. What's the lady version of

dick down? He he totly got badged up? Okay, all right? Um, dead cand dead candy with your badged up? What did you think? You say? We got a pouty teenager showing shocking this. We've got the ghost seat you could take us from beginning to take your time and enjoy yourself on your date, right. I know you were also on the date with this racist what did you think? And my heart was with Michelle, but I was still on it. Um,

I uh yeah. I mean there's probably some weird mental gamesmanship advantage to entering one of these dates with Matt with complications and like stress, because everything is so charmed that there's and like you saw it with Serena Pete too, like the more that she created a little bit of stickiness, the more that he was like into it, so potentially that works to her advantage. I also agree, it's so

funny watching the people who are like you guys. We need to get these in the kilns as soon as possible, like watching that go down while they're like having these intense moments, Um is amazing. And then um, yeah, I mean it does. For whatever reason, seemed like he is so into her. I don't understand it, but I think at the end of that date in total, it felt like they had had like the most emotional ride. And I think he likes that for some reason. He likes

and they don't want to be there. He likes when they need to be cheered up. Yeah, like to be a hero in the situation and so like a moody lady. So I think he likes that to some extent. And I think that was like playing. And we also should have had the intern in the bedroom at the end, I mean the intern, the intern. Your dress, ma'am, you ready to get up everything? Captain? What did you think of this date from beginning to end, from the pouty from the pouty tween showing up in that terrible shirt,

to the pottery class to Mellard's landing. What did you think, Captain? It's like her walk towards him. Well, but because because then you know, for a certain point she starts to be you know, she starts doing a good job of like, you know, whether she's having a good time or not, she's at least, you know, pretending for his sake, you know.

But did you notice that her shirt sucked? Doug? I just thought it was I thought it was a weird outfit because also it did seem like it's probably was probably cold outside, so it just seemed like really going out of your way to like, well, here's my belly button under three layers of weird coats. Um, but yeah, I think you know it was it was just ah An ended with fireworks because they provided the fireworks, and then it's just they could not be more manipulative of these, uh,

these situations, you know. And I'm sure the show itself really thought Rachel was a slam duck. Yes, they didn't, because they didn't do their homework. So they're like, let's still be the winner, but let's torture her as much as possible on along the way. Which if Dr Banana from your doctorate, is that it that's the thing? Correct? Yeah? Dr Banana? On this episode of Dick Down, vegge up, how did you feel about how did you feel about

this date? Um? I agree that the clothes don't make sense to what the weather looks like, especially because next week it's full on snowing. So I'm like, it, ain't you. It looks like he was walking and I don't think I saw the coming attractions. I gotta watch that. I think I turned it off. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. I can't believe it. I've never turned

it off. And I just want to say I looked up that shirt because I was curious to like find the brand, And when I found the brand, I googled the brand because I was like, what is this site? I've never heard of like this clothing brand or were they sell close? And the first thing that comes up it was like the brand is called Pretty Little Things, but it's like pretty Little Thing hit with allegations of slavery and unsafe working conditions. I was like, well, how

this shirt being terrible? It was made by a child somewhere. She was like, I like your business practice parties, I'm gonna I'm gonna support this business really great. They made great you know southern hoop skirts for Oh my god, this is terrible. But I brand brands at all because I'm like, is it cold like it looks really cold. She looks like that's what like I would wear back

in the day, hungover to go buy cigarettes. I mean, I would love to see you in a shirt that just like that just highlights your belly button, just like a man shirt with a correct tangle. Yeah, that tailored in too short, hair sticking out a little. It's beautiful. Look. I don't mind, beautiful look. It's a beautiful look, Katie. What did you think of this date? This date with Rachel where she showed up like a drip all pooty.

Then she went to Mallard's landing she put on her pretty woman dressed and landed her and then she lived. I mean, yeah, she I actually kind of thought at first she was just going to leave. I really was like, she just gonna self a limit it here because she can't handle the pressure. Yeah, which always shocks me, because I'm like, you guys have seen the show, Like you know what you're getting into. You know this is going to happen. Um, But I mean I think I don't know.

He seemed really really into her, and they so into her, so in her. Yeah, he loves her so much. He made her sit around for four days wondering what was going on while I banged two other lads. Yeah, that's that's love. That is that you know a man. The look she had when she showed up, that was a woman who hasn't slept for four days, having crying and she finally gets to see her man. She's not really sure if it's going to be great. Um, and then we get to the rose ceremony. I honestly didn't know

if he was going to cut Bree or Michelle. I actually thought he had good chemistry, was Brie? Katie shaking her head. Katie wants to get in there. Katie talked to us Queen like, I just knew the second, like I'm Brie staying it was going to be Brie. There's just something about the way he was looking at her, like he just didn't have that like hunger in his eyes. I guess it's like the best way to say it, that's hungry heart. Yeah, he like, I really like Brie.

I think Brie should be Bachelorette. Really. I think she just I mean, she's stunning and cool and she's very young, but she's still put together. But there he really just likes Michelle, Like you can really see it, and he really likes Rachel, but like there is just something about Bree where it just felt more like friends to me. Okay, well, well, I thought everything was going great with Michelle in that way where they're trying to set you up. So the

way he doesn't give her a rose, it's shocking. You know, me too, me too. Did you thought that Michelle is going to get cut dout? I wasn't sure, but I thought that would be well, they would certainly show us by like not giving any indication that there are any issues with Michelle and then suddenly she's gone. But you know, I mean that's the other thing. Though maybe you know that's maybe that's somebody that has issues. Maybe that's whether I mean, maybe there's a chance that Michelle wins, but

I don't think so. I think since Chris Harrison, basically, although they're saying he didn't lose his job, which is what is his job's status, I've heard like eight different things I think he's said. So he apologized to Michael Strahan, who said I don't accept his apology, and then I don't buy it. Basically, I don't believe it, Katie, really, And and then I think Chris Harrison said I'll be back, right, yeah, he he said that he was he'll be back and

that he's learning and listening. And Michael Strahand was like no, and ABC, I think, well we'll find out then the first episode is going to be start with him in a chair. Yeah right, if you're someone you know so stupid shit on call this number, Yeah you're you're yeah, you're right. That's a good point. Rob um um okay, before we do tweet of the week, who do you think is going How do you think it's going to play out? Robbie b I my wish is Michelle, But

I think it's going to be Rachel. And then you think and then do you think and since and do you think he's still with Rachel current status that long Beard says to me he's not? And then who do you think the Bachelorette will be? Awesome? Um okay, captain, who do you think wins? Do you think they're still together? Who do you think it's the Bachelorette? I think it's just where that Rachel sounds so much like Rachel. Yes, true, he's a good point. Thank you the Justice. You know,

it's like Rutzel, you had to grow up to make pretzels. Yeah, I think that. Uh, Yeah, I just think that Chris went in there that first conversation with Rachel Lindsay, he just he was clearly trying to save his franchise from having a finale that people would be upset by because it's Rachel. Yeah. I think he just really needed to try to fix that and that and in his zeal, that's why he was saying such dumb things. And do

you think they're still together? I've been going back and forth on do they stay together for a little while as like a pr move, like you know, like everybody's disgusted and decided that you know, they can break up for another reason down the road, that he could publicly forgive her for her racism and they could both move forward trying to make things better for every Uh, they could do all that. But I don't know. Matt's really been striking me as a kind of guy that won't

want to do a long fake out. So it may just be a brief Hey just just didn't work out. And who do you think might not work out on the show? Maybe he doesn't propose to anybody, And who do you think is a Bachelorette. Oh for the next season. I still I still think Katie's in the running for some reason, even though they've come out and said it's not gonna be her. I think, why would you come out and announce that it's not someone unless you're trying

to get people off the set, all right? Deadhand? Well, I came into this thinking Michelle, but I've learned a lot from your people. Yeah, I think I'm just an innocent cub hasn't watched enough Bachelor, but I thought I would have thought Michelle. I think it is true. They just protested too much as far as it goes with Rachel. So I guess it'll be Rachel. And if it is Rachel, then I could see them making Michelle the next Bachelorette. Um, so I'll say it'll be Rachel with a Michelle Bachelorette.

And still is he still with Rachel? This will be the only good news is that there will be so much delicious drama if he still is, so there'll be more you know, where is whatever her name is who left early? Claire left early last season. We had an extended version of this, so I would think that he is probably still with her. Won't last long? Okay, Dr Banana? Who still together? Bachelorette? I think he picks Rachel. I do not believe they're still together based on the beard theory. Yes, um,

I think. I mean, I hope Bachelorette is brief. Okay, day, I think he picks Rachel, and then I think they're not together, and I really hope it's brief. She quit her job for the show, so you know. Okay, So okay, I think it's I think it's Rachel based on Chris Harrison like being shooting off his mouth, and then I think based on the beard he's single. I see them doing a dumb move and just going for a white lady, like going for they shouldn't. It's amazing if they mean

they shouldn't. They shouldn't. But I feel like every move they've gotten wrong, so right, I feel like I feel like it should be anybody, literally anybody, or or or Serena Nadian Serena, or like Brie or there were so many great gals. I'm gonna say. I'm gonna say Serena from Canada. He wasn't into him. Um okay, you guys, so many great, so many great reviews this week. Here's some of them.

Um um oh oh. We got only a three star review from her swims. What hope sounds like this? The escapism the podcast used to provide has been somewhat removed. I think it probably hasn't helped that the host and everybody has been really racist.

Like we we want to come for the escapeism as well, and it's hard to ignore sort of the things that are happening. Like I think our preference would have it just be a fun podcast as well, but that's not the reality of what's happening on this show right now. Would you agree, Anna? I mean, yeah, I don't think any of us are getting too much escapism from this show right now, considering we have to see Chris Harrison

pop up every time us. Yes, so we're trying. We're not trying to be uh, you know, it's just not not living in not putting my head in the stand about. We got to address it. Okay, here's an email we got from Elena chan Uh. It's this subject line is appreciation email. I look forward to this podcast every week. Lacey and Miles are absolutely my favorite guest. Please have them on as much as possible. Also, Laurie is amazing.

Thank you, Elena. Can I just say you picked three terrific Lacy, Miles and Lorie are a full chef's kiss trio. I mean, I'm always so lighted. I'm protective of all of our guests, but those are three wonderful guests. What do you think, Anna, I mean, the best of the best. We got true hilarious people plus a historian, plus a real historian. Well, you can email us at Rose podcast at gmail dot com. I'm going to be sincere for
