Dear Shandy.

Welcome to your first ever, Dear Shandy, perfect match recap listeners.

Hello, Andy.

New show. New show. It's a big deal.

Yes, you're looking very excited. Yeah. I am excited. Sorry? I am excited, I said.

As you should be. There is a lot to cover today. And perfect match, I've got to say, I admit,

was not on our radar.

No. Originally. We never saw the first season. We didn't know who a lot of these people were.

I didn't know it existed. No, but our shandies hotly requested. They really wanted us to recap.

Perfect match. And we're such people pleasers. Loyal servants. Yes. So how could. To our shandies.

Only. How could we refuse them?

So we gorged on perfect match. We gorged. And had it been food, there would have been a lot of trips to the bathroom.

True. But thankfully it wasn't. And we have a lot to get to, shall we get going? Yeah, we better get going.

So, episode one, let's first talk about some of our first impressions of this show.

First, that Nick Lachey, or as you called him, would you call him Lachie?

Literally last night, Andy was like, Lachie's shirt is not blah, blah, blah. I was like, excuse me. To my credit, we were about four episodes in at that point. So I was a little delirious. Fair. But we were noticing that his wife was not hosting with him. What is up with that? Does anyone know what's going on with that? I don't think there's really much unpacked there. I think Netflix is just like, you're good.

You're good versus someone else. Less good. Not bad, just less good. And I think, I think that Nick Lehi was, was given the shot because he's clearly the stronger the two. And I'm not, look, first of all, this is not, I'm not maligning his wife. It doesn't mean you're a bad person if you're not amazing at hosting a dating show. It's just that he is really strong on his own. So why not give him a shot? Why not test it out? Is it possible that this is his show? Like maybe he's an executive producer or was his idea? Oh, you think that it's his show and his wife doesn't have a part of it? Yeah, come on. Okay. I don't know. All I can say is that I think he's really good at this and he's good alone. You know who else thinks he's really good at it alone? Netflix. I think it suits this show better for him to be a lot. And I think it suits love as blood.

You know, they know what they're doing. thinks he's really good at it alone? Netflix. I think it suits this show better for him to be alone.

And I think it suits love as blood. You know, they know what they're doing over at Netflix. You know who couldn't host this show? Me. Does that make me a bad person? Does that make me less of a human? No. I actually think you could host this show. I think I could do it. I think you could. pretty good. Yeah. I'd be better than his wife. Not Leahy legal. I'm just kidding.
