Hey everyone, before we get to the show today, just a little plug for our live show in Brooklyn on Thursday, July 25th.

Tickets are getting close to selling out. If you want to come and bring a friend or five, you can find those tickets on the bellhouseny.com or at the link in our Instagram bio.

Welcome to Here to Make Friends, a half-post podcast about the Bachelor franchise where we lovingly snark on the Bachelor and Bachelor adjacent shows.

Whether you love the Bachelor or love to hate it, we're here to break down every single delicious moment with you.

I'm Emma Gray and I'm Claire Fallon.

You know Claire, to be honest, I just want to be raw and real. I just want to be real raw with you. And because everyone loves me, I know that you'll really understand that.

I do understand and I understand that what you want from me is clarity. And I'm here trying to give you clarity because I'm never going to lie to you. I'm always going to be myself.

Wow, I think we just wrapped up the recap. We can end the show.

The episode could have been so much shorter if we had just had that conversation with Luke P once instead of 7,000 times.

Last night was really the Luke P and Hannah not getting each other show.

Two ships passing by each other very slowly for hours in a day time.

And to break all that down, we're joined today by two very seasoned recappers, Justin Ken, Natasha Scott, of the wonderful podcast to Black Girls One Rose.

Thanks so much for joining us.

Thanks for having us.

And you can find our podcast on Patreon if you check it out.

Haven't checked it out before.

And we're really excited to dig into such a media episode.

A lot happened.

A lot went down.

I mean, wow.

Luke P.

What a guy.
