Hello, and welcome to the Bachelor podcast. I'm Kay York City, and I'm Jared Freed. It is so good to be back here with UK. How are you? How we feeling? What's going on?

I'm excited to have the bachelor back on TV. I know it's only been a little bit, but I miss my Monday night rituals. What about you?

Well, get ready for a Thursday night ritual because we're packing up. You ever remember those commercials back in the day where it'll be like, you know, your sitcom, your favorite sitcom was like, we're moving to Tuesday.

And like they always did like kind of like a cheesy, we're packing our bags and we're moving next door to, you know, family matters. And like, they'll be like next door.

So the wind slows, you know, am I am, am I imagining no commercial? No, no, no, you just also unlocked like a fresh memory in my brain. The second you said that, I was like, I have seen that so many times, and I don't know why they thought that was like the best joke ever, but they did it all the time.

We're moving next door. Yeah, yeah, and you would have this weird thing of like, oh my God, these two sitcom characters on the same screen, like, you know, when they would like mesh together, you know, yeah, the Jetsons meet the Flintstones kind of thing, you know.

And I mean, here with this, you know, reality stuff, this is really all we're going to be getting for a while, our reality shows because of these strikes. So it's, I'm excited for a lot of reality stuff coming up. Have you seen the previews for the, I think it's called House of Villains.

I've gotten, it's trickled towards me. I haven't seen the previews, but I just know of the characters going on. I mean, like, they really, it does feel like TV if we're going to like look macro.

Yeah, they're like, we're not getting Gen Z. They're like, we're not going to get them them and below they're done. They're like, we're just going to just keep beating the drum of nostalgia wherever we can.

Like to see like New York from I love New York going on and you're like, and you do have like the face you just made is like when I was like, it just tickles you, it scratches an itch and it really does.

It's not avoidable.

I mean, Tiffany Pollard, Tiffany New York Pollard is literally one of the biggest TV villain slash icon ever.

I mean, we actually got to interview Chris and I, if I carry Bradshaw and I we interviewed her, I want to, it was like at the beginning, very beginning of the pandemic.

And I was like, this is the shred of hope that I'm hanging on to right now. And she was so cool. And it was, I can't wait for the show. And I saw her like, there's like Johnny bananas from, you know, MTV,

Jack's from Vanderpump. It's I feel like this is going to be a good show.

Well, I mean, that's the thing is like they're starting to listen to us, the audience because today we are talking about the Golden Bachelor.

And it is moving to Thursday pack your bags kids were moving to Thursday. We're moving to Thursday.

It's, it's an hour show, right? It's not two hours.

Golden Bachelor is one hour and then paradise will still be two.

So I'm actually, you know, it's funny. Like they're doing all the things we kind of want. I've gotten messages from, I don't know if you felt it from different corners that aren't bachelor specific.

And it's like a lot of people being like, I'm back. I'm checking it out. I'm tuning in episode one. I don't care. And they're going to give it an episode.

So it's kind of nice. You know, it does feel like, you know, for us who stay here at bachelor island, you know, it feels kind of nice that we're going to get some of our alumni back, you know, that they're going to come back and check it out.
