Episode 109 The Bachelorette: Messy and Aggressively Colorful (Season 17, Week 7) Jul 21, 2021

Show notes

This week Katie gives Greg and SECOND one on one. We have very different opinions on Greg, so PLEASE listeners, tell us your thoughts.

We also see a group date that is art based and for the second Bachelorette season in a row, someone makes something that gets the black box. #ReleasetheMoynesCanvas

We also see an INCREDIBLY uncomfortable one on one date with Mikey P. They cuddle in cult clothing and he needs to talk to someone about his Oedipus issues.

We address the fact that Katie blocked us on social media, Andrew S and Justin tweets, and the Spade and Sparrows recent drama. For more info on the Spade and Sparrows drama, check out our friends at Say Your Goodbyes Podcast’s Instagram post.

(There was a big storm rolling through while we were recording, the sound is off at some points, but hang in there with us)

We also have a guest hop on for a quick second, towards the end.

Our BIPOC highlight goes to Tayshia! We absolutely love our Queen and are happy to see her back on our screen (that rhymed, you saw that lol).

Episode 108 True Crime: The Life and Death of Empress Elisabeth of Austria-Hungary Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

Last week we saw a one-on-one between Andrew S. and Katie (the blocker). The Bachelor wants us to believe that Andrew S. is from Vienna, Austria; when we know he is in fact from Chicago, Illinois.

Danielle says “let’s keep it international” and tells a story based in Vienna. Danielle talks about the life and assassination (which she says weirdly, words are hard) of Empress Elisabeth aka “Sisi”. Elisabeth enjoyed her informal upbringing and struggled with the royal life. She had incredible highs and lows in her life before it was taken in an incident of inconvenience in 1898.

Her life and death is written like a movie, so come and take a listen, as we catch up and tell a story. CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of eating disorders, fatphobia, suicide mention (Story starts at 7:04).

Episode 107 The Bachelorette: Operation WOWO… Woah (Season 17, Week 6) Jul 14, 2021

Show notes

Like the episode, Danielle feels so much chaotic energy today, she had too much sugar and rode the Peloton, she may crash at any moment.

But anyway. The Bachelorette. We see a one on one wedding date with Justin that gets really deep, really quick. No surprise here, we hate the wedding dates. A group date that should’ve been and could’ve been messy boots BUT SADLY WASN’T. We also saw a one on one that doesn’t go as well.

Our BIPOC highlight goes to A-aron aka Aaron Clancy. Mainly because he should have shined bright like a star at the Great Royal Debate and fell like an ass-teroid. Also, because we are sure he would give the BIPOC highlight to his damn self, because he is the only person he likes.

Episode 106 True Crime: The Great Train Robbery of 1963 Jul 08, 2021

Show notes

There were so many Thomas the Tank Engine memes after last week’s episode, after Thomas Jacobs' exit, that Megan had to base a story on trains.

Megan tells the story of the Great Train Robbery of 1963 in England. The robbery crew of 17 people stole £2.6 million (the 2020 equivalent of approximately 76 million US Dollars) in a very organized operation. One man was on the run after the robbery for five years before he was captured. Two of the men escaped prison after conviction and one was a fugitive for THIRTY-SIX YEARS. (Story starts at 12:04).

Episode 105 The Bachelorette: This Episode Was Dry as the Desert (Season 17, Week 5) Jul 07, 2021

Show notes

Our lady lawyer friend Kelcee joins us again and gives life to this very dry episode.

We see Blake arrive into the house (he pretends to care what the other guys think), he gets a one-on-one date, there’s a very violent group date, which is a mix of rugby and basketball with wrestling outfits. We also see a sweet one-on-on with Andrew S.

Our BIPOC highlight goes to Andrew S., everyone swoon in sync, please! We really appreciate his important conversation about race, and interracial dating, with Katie (who doesn’t know 4 countries in Africa). We also say goodbye to BIPOC contestants Quartney, Andrew M. (the prosecutie), and Joshua Tylerbest.

If you want to hear more of Kelcee you can catch her on Episode 85, Episode 69, Episode 43, and Episode 19!

Episode 104 True Crime: Night of Shame in Cologne, Germany 2016 Jul 01, 2021

Show notes

Last week, Katie told her survivor story, from an incident on New Year’s Eve where she said consent was not involved. This week Danielle tells the story of the Night of Shame in Cologne, Germany, New Year’s Eve 2015/2016. As days and months go by, the nation would be shocked to learn of roughly 1,200 women who are sexually assaulted by mobs of men in the city Square.

From this one night, an entire classification of people were targeted, cultures were blamed and laws were changed that should have been updated long before 2016.

This story is sure to make you as angry and we were.

CONTENT WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT. (Story Starts at: 6:30)

Episode 103 The Bachelorette: Get Out (Right Now) (Season 17, Week 4) Jun 29, 2021

Show notes

It may be hard to believe, but this week’s episode is ONE date. It’s a recycled truth or dare group date from the #Clayshia2020 season. More hot peppers and fake proposals *insert eye roll here*.

The rest of the episode continues to focus on the Thomas the Trainwreck drama.

We also see a returning contestant arrive - they’ve hyped it up all season, but he’s finally here. It’s Blake Moynes from #Clayshia2020. Just like Heather Martin, from Matt’s season, we want him to exit stage left immediately.

This week’s BIPOC highlight goes to David Scott. He is fine as f*uck and did not get enough time on our screen. Please provide an email to someone at ABC where we can lodge a complaint, cause this is some bulls*hit. As you can see, we feel strongly about this.

Show notes

Last week we saw the start of Karl as the villain and all his mess with the motivational speech about being the best lover for Katie and him gaslighting Katie with some non-existent tea.

This week Danielle tells the story of Jeffrey Locker who was a motivational speaker in New York. Jeffrey found himself in hard times after losing a lot of money to a Ponzi Scheme. Jeffrey went to extreme measures to try to set his family up with money with an assisted suicide scheme that changed the life of Kenneth Minor forever.

Episode 101 The Bachelorette: I’m Not Crying, You’re Crying (Season 17, Week 3) Jun 22, 2021

Show notes

This week we saw some VERY difficult, but important conversations. But first, more of the Karl drama, where he is eventually sent packing. We also say goodbye to John Hershey #JusticeForJohn, who is also our BIPOC highlight.

Later we see Nick Vi-None appear on the show for the one-millionth time. He hosts a group date where everyone shares very personal stories about themselves. Katie shares her journey to becoming the confident sex-positive woman she is now and shares her experience with non-consensual sex (TRIGGER WARNING: SEXUAL ASSAULT- conversation begins at 35:04).

Later we see a one-on-one date with Michael A. where he shares his love story with his late wife Laura. By the end of the episode, we are all cried out, just in time for a bunch of drama about Thomas *insert eye roll here*.
