I'm Claire Fallon and I'm Emma Gray and this is Love to See It, an obsessively detailed

recap podcast about reality dating shows like The Bachelor and other pop culture that makes us laugh, cry, and curse the patriarchy.

We can't live with these shows and we can't live without them, but we can break down every juicy moment and unpack all the weird messages these shows send us about love, sex, and dating.

The girl from the stock trove, love and fire. Can you keep up? I like love.

Welcome to Love to See It, a podcast about men who have learned therapeutic language but haven't been to enough actual therapy.

And also men who understand the full breadth of masculinity. It ranges all the way from country clubbing to wakeboarding.

I know. Can you believe it? The range. Those are the two kinds of men. That's really the representation we're looking for on this show here to join us to discuss week three of Charities journey is new friend of the pod.

Claudia Thompson, a DEI consultant and co-host of the Black Roses. Claudia, thank you so much for joining us. We're so excited to have you.

Thank you. Thank you for having me. I was very excited to get the invitation but jumped up the chance for sure. So thank you.

We're excited. We're always excited to have cool new people to talk about this show with.

Especially because as people watch the show, they tend to, if there are people of taste, be like, maybe I should not watch this show anymore.

We keep losing people.

We're like, please won't someone be friends with us?

In droves. In droves. They're like, yeah, they're fleeing. And you're like, we get it.

Won't someone talk about Braden? So thank you.

Let's get started. We have a lot, a lot to get into from this week. It's week three.

I feel like it's moving quickly. We're already down to 14 men. They started at 25, which I loved because it made our cast bios episode really snappy.

But they've been dismissing them at a rapid pace. I guess we're going to spend just like many weeks with the final 10 of them.

That's what it feels like.

Seriously, I'm so surprised by like, I feel like it doesn't leave at a time. And now we're down to almost hometowns or something.

So I agree with you. I'm like, oh, wow. There's like, and I feel like we're getting to know them really well because of that.

So it's a good thing overall. But it's like one on earth. Are we going to do?
