Conservation in Paradise.

Dear Shandy.

Welcome back to another Dear Shandy Bachelor in Paradise Recap listeners.

Hello, Andy.

Hello.

How are you today?

All right.

Before we get going with episode three, because people have been asking me this about tickets to this opera, which opens Saturday. I do have a discount for you guys. So I will link it in the description. Basically, it's a friends and family discount where you can get select tickets for 50 bucks, which is very good for opera tickets. Yeah. Great deal for opera. Yeah. But I do want

it. It's just a word of warning that this is a Baroque opera. So wait, where are you saying?

I knew you'd start underselling it. No, it's not that. Like, look, I'm proud of every opera I'm in.

It's just that a Baroque opera is a certain flavor of opera. It's not like Verdi where... It's not sweeping Italian opera. Yeah, this is not a typical opera that you probably imagine. It's not Lab O.M or Carmen. Like, a Baroque opera is a different beast. It's a totally different form of opera. And there's still love. Yeah. And the music is beautiful. The music's beautiful. all I'm saying, it's just a disclaimer in case it's anyone's first opera. This doesn't really

represent. still love. Yeah. And the music is beautiful. The music's beautiful. All I'm saying, it's, it's just a disclaimer in case it's anyone's first opera. This doesn't really represent most operas that you're going to see. But it is where most operas come from. I mean, Baroque opera was around first. And I am going to give a disclaimer to your disclaimer that you should not listen to her. Just go see the opera. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, I know that Baroque up was not for everyone.

Okay. to your disclaimer that you should not listen to her. Just go see the opera. I'm just saying, I'm just

saying, I know that Baroque Up was not for everyone. Okay. I just like to manage expectations.

So shall we get going recapping episode three of Bachelor in Paradise season nine? Why the hell not?

Isn't it insane that there have the nine seasons of this? It is. I have a feeling that

even the people who did the first season are like, wow, that went on longer than I expected.

Okay. So during the previews, advertising this so-called poo baby, Andy, you said, how can they

make something like pooping somehow not funny? They did it. They did it. They can do anything if they put their mind to it.

And we watched the intro again. I don't know if it was our mood or something, but we watched

the intro and we were just in silence. And afterwards, Andy, you just went, I think that you don't

like missed opportunities in terms of humor. Yeah, I think if you're going to go poo, you got to go poo.
