Hi, this is Rachel McElroy. Hi, this is Griffin McElroy. And this is wonderful. Thanks for listening to our show. We never do that. We never thank them at the top, but I'm, I thank you.

We know there's lots of podcasts. Being freakers. Chris Angels, new project, new project being freakers. There's the dance kids. There's money with a bunch of ease at the end. Money. Yeah, with a bunch of ease at the end. They're so fucking funny. Why are you listening to them? All married couples. All of them married. All talking about, you know, things related to things that they

like, murder gossip, murder gossip, exclamation point. Their twins and they gossip about murders. And they're so funny. And they're married. But you have joined us and I'm so thankful. There's so many airlines of podcasts that you could have flown. Listen to you are in an improv mood today. Yeah. Just saying yes all over the place to myself. Yes, me is the new way of doing it.

Hey, do you have any of the small wonders that I crave so much? Oh, I mean, okay, you don't say you're chilly. I'm probably going to say you've talked about my

Chili before I just had it for dinner and lunch. Two chilies in a row. My doctor says not to do. Yeah, this is probably not going to end well for you. My doctor says don't eat chili two meals two days in a row. Yeah, I said, whatever you say, Doc, wink.

And then a bean falls out of my tear ducts. Because I'm full of fucking chili. I am.

Now I was going to say, um, and I'm hesitant. Okay, because it's early. Uh-oh, but I did enjoy watching the golden bachelor. Well, let's get into this.

I, I'm not totally bought in yet. I'm going to need a little bit more, I think. First episode, as I reminded Griffin is always rough. There's too many people.

You know, you're getting like five seconds. Everybody's super gimmicky. Yes. You know, like the whole point of the episode is like you're not going to get enough of anyone and everyone's going to be uncomfortable. So I got enough of a lot of what I would say.

Some of them were a little much. Um, but I love that the ladies were supportive of each other. A lot of those earrings are incredible. Your dress looks amazing. And like, yeah.

The quiet competition. Everybody. You're so beautiful. Yes. The quiet competition that usually takes place in the first episode of a bachelor bachelor at season was not. Extent at all. No fights. No fights. Uh, no, like backstabbing. No, so and so it was here for the wrong reasons. Yeah.

Um, it was just like, it was very sweet. Um, but I'm, I'm going to need a little bit more. I'm going to need it to get like a little bit complicated, I think. I wanted it to be a little bit more different.

Because it's true. Very, um, first impression rose. Everybody like standing around drinking cocktails like. Yeah. And a lot of it did feel like the guiding hand of the producer felt very visible.

Yeah. Somebody played a song on a guitar. That didn't do it for I didn't like that. There was like, here's a letter from my grandchild supporting me on this journey.

Uh, we'll see the for you. The first episode is always usually the worst, but I think I think this bachelor has potential. He seems comfortable on camera. He's a nice enough guy. Um, you know, definitely rooting for him. You got to. He's up there.

So yeah, I mean, I'm excited to see how it how it plays out. Yeah, we'll see. I think I have some nostalgia for the franchise. Obviously. So I was like, oh, it might be good to get back in there. And then I was like, no, there's still a lot I don't like about it. Yeah.

But I'm optimistic that they've changed just enough to like make it a new adventure.

I'm also watching love is blind right now. And it's, I'm pretty sure the first time only two couples have made it through the terrible crucible of the pod.

Yeah. I mean, that's kind of a spoiler, but, but not because we're not going to give any details about which to.

Yeah, sure. But they they're setting it up kind of like they did last season where it's like some couples didn't make it out of the pods, but maybe they'll get together.

Yeah, I hope so. There's some real dirt bags this like some real dirt back.

Yeah, even for a Netflix romance reality show, there's some real dirt bags in the mix. Yeah. So hopefully they don't get any more screen time than they've already had.
