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.

I'm the drum roll, the drum roll, the fire can you keep up? I like love it.

Welcome to Love to See It, a podcast about women's magazines and serious journalism degrees, two things that like oil and water can never mix.

That's just a fact. It's the final week of our Summer Love in series and while we are truly so sad that it's coming to a close,

we are overjoyed to be having our final summer fling with a truly iconic early ought romcom.

How to lose a guy in 10 days.

Low rise jeans, frizzy blowouts, women's magazines making tons of advertising cash instead of like slowly thinking into the sea.

We just we love to see it here to recap and discuss this Kate Hudson Matthew McConaughey romance is the amazing Becca Freeman co-host of the Bad on Paper podcast and the co-creator of the romcom pod's podcast.

Becca, thank you for joining us.

Thank you for having me. I can't imagine a better way to spend a Monday morning than recapping an early ought's romcom.

We obviously agree. Before we dive into this very important topic, we do want to remind everyone that we are hosting a live show with moment house on Sunday, July 10th, a live digital show.

Yes, with Rachel and Gabby's two bachelor at season on the horizon, we are looking back at the first ever two bachelor at season. Kate, one in Brits, only one can stay mess of season.

We're recapping the premiere of that season live from our couch and oh my god, there is so much to say.

You can find tickets for the show at momenthouse.com slash love to see it also we're going to be using the tipping function on moment house during the show to raise money for the Brigitte Alliance, which is an incredible organization which funds travel and board for people who need abortion care and need to travel for it, which obviously is particularly necessary right now.

We just want to say quickly that it's been an incredibly incredibly devastating last few days. We are feeling really drained and exhausted and sort of in mourning and also trying to find ways to take action and and organize, but we do hope that today's episode can bring you guys a little bit of levity because we assume a lot of the people listening are kind of feeling that heaviness that we've been feeling.

Yeah, Emma and I am sure most of you listening are feeling very tired and defeated right now, but the work continues and it's more important than ever. So we're trying to stay focused on that right now.

And also on of course the topic of our podcast today, which is how to lose a guy in 10 days, which I was really struggling every time I tried to reference it to Emma, I would be like 10 things I hate about you.

Why did they all have 10 in the name it really has a similar cadence. Yeah, it's like why 10 well five isn't long enough when we go to press and 11 so that's why it has to be 10.

Alright, so let's dive in. I want to start by asking you Becca and then we'll all we'll all share when did you first see this movie.

I'm pretty sure I saw it in theaters. So it came out. Ooh January of 2003, which would make me a junior in high school and going to the movies was one of the like only things to do in my small town. And so I we were like very added moviegoers. I'm pretty.
