Episode 74 True Crime: The Crime of Interracial Marriage, Loving vs. Virginia Feb 11, 2021

Show notes

One week 5 of The Bachelor we saw Matt, our first black male lead, go on dates with racist Rachael and Kit. In reflecting on Black History Month, and the “progress” the ABC franchise has made with a POC lead, Danielle covers the case of Loving v. Virginia.

Mildred and Richard lived in Virginia and wanted one simple thing, to get married under the law. But that wasn’t possible and they found themselves in jail and pleading guilty to criminal miscegenation laws. Anti-inbreeding laws that brought them all the way to the United States Supreme Court of the United States, defending their right to be lawfully married and paved the way for many to marry those who they love.

Episode 73 The Bachelor: Little Fires Everywhere (Season 25, Week 6) Feb 09, 2021

Show notes

There’s honestly so much that happens in this episode. We get the resolution of the Jessenia/MEREDITH 2-on-1 date, a one-on-one date for Katie, a bowling group date, and a one-on-one date for Pieper!

We spend a lot of time discussing Katie, her edit, and a confrontation between her and Serena C. We agree that the toxicity in the house needed to be addressed, but we also fully believe that Katie was complicit in a lot of the bad things happening in the house.

Also, a cast member from Colton’s season returns and demands to speak with the manager, it’s Karen time! (the contestant formerly known as Heather Martin)

Our POC Highlight of the week is Magi! She is honestly better than Matt and this show. Magi is the Ethiopian pharmacist and model. She’s gorgeous and smart and funny. And we will certainly miss her.

Episode 72 True Crime: The Heist of Sweden’s Crown Jewels Feb 04, 2021

Show notes

On last week’s episode, we saw the theft of a true Queen’s crown. It was a crime in it of itself.

In this episode, Megan covers the 2018 heist of Sweden’s crown jewels by thieves who speed away on a boat, just like the movies. Megan apologizes in advance for any mispronunciations of any and all Swedish words.

Also, we go on a tangent about Alexander Skarsgard. If you don't know who is he is (or if you do) go check him out, you'll thank us later.

Danielle is all the way here for Black History Month, so be prepared!

This week there is a LOT to cover! We first see Victoria be stripped of her crown, a one on one date with Rachael who gets a pair of Christian Louboutin heels, and then a group date on a farm with some poo. Things heat up with MJ and the house, and we see the start of a 2 on 1 with MJ and Jessinia.

The Rosewood Massacre February 2021 True Crime Patreon Exclusive Feb 01, 2021

Show notes

This is a sneak peek of our February 2021 True Crime Patreon Exclusive content.

You can hear the full episode here. Starting at the $1 level of our Patreon membership for the month of February!

Happy Black History Month! Remember, Black history is OUR history. Rosewood was a prominent black community in Florida, that was destroyed by a lie, by a white woman, regarding an assault by a black man. The stories of rape, murder, looting, arson, and neglect by elected officials became a hushed secret, not spoken in public, but passed down at dinner tables from survivors to their children. It wasn’t until 1982 that survivors of the massacre spoke up and 1993 until their stories were publicly acknowledged. Content Warning: Lynching, Sexual Assault, Animal Cruelty.

Watch the trailer of the movie based on the massacre called Rosewood, directed by the late John Singleton and starring Jon Voight, Ving Rhames, and Don Cheadle.

Episode 70 True Crime: The Murder of Helen Bailey… and Presumed Murder of Diane Stewart and the Death of Amy Joyner-Francis Jan 28, 2021

Show notes

On week 2’s group date, the women wrote their own romance stories of their love story with Matt. Each story was HEAVY on the erotica, I might add. Because of that, Megan covers the story of a murdered author, Helen Bailey. Helen was a young adult author in England who went missing and was discovered in a septic tank, three months later. Her murder may be connected to the seemingly natural death of Diane Stewart. Content Warning: Animal Cruelty (Story starts at: 1:43).

We also saw Sarah interrupt time Katie was having with Matt during the group date cocktail party. Sarah was not even on that date. Katie told the women about the intrusion and they confronted Sarah,which Bachelor Nation had a lot to say about it and, In true Bachelor fashion, the words bully and attack were used. Danielle covers the story of Amy Joyner-Francis who was bullied and attacked by fellow high school classmates, which ultimately led to her death. (Story starts at: 29:41).

Episode 69 The Bachelor: Victoria can get two WHAPS to the face (Season 25, Week 4 with Special Guest Kelcee!) Jan 26, 2021

Show notes

This week we are once again joined by a friend of the pod, Kelcee! She is a fellow lady lawyer from Georgia. Listen to the last time Kelcee joined us on the pod for Episode 43! There is so many things to say and so little time!

We see the effects of Sarah leaving on Matt and the women. Five new women arrive, and with it, drama and sex worker shaming (insert HARD eye roll here). Check out the new women’s bios here.

We also saw a one on one date with Michelle, a new contestant FROM MINNESOTA (Danielle is overly excited), and we are here for it! Michelle and Matt go on a scavenger hunt and it ends in a hot air balloon ride.

We see a second group date and the women are physically fighting each other, in a boxing ring. No shocker here, we hate it, thanks.

Our POC Highlight for the week goes to Pieper James. Pieper is the graduate student from Happy Valley, Oregon. She has a bold personality and super sweet face that we want to see more of!

Episode 67 The Bachelor: This Episode was Triggering, Toxic, and Trash (Season 25, Week 3) Jan 19, 2021

Show notes

It’s week 3 of Matt James’ season and we are exhausted.

We see a group date that Ashley Iconetti and Chris Harrison host, all to promote Chris’s erotic novel? On this date, the women have to write a romance (er, mainly sex) story for Matt and perform this story in front of everyone.

We also see a 1-on-1 date with Serena P, and they go horseback riding and have a picnic. But unfortunately, most of this episode is focused on drama. Last week the focus was Queen Victoria. This week’s drama is focused on Sarah, who interrupted the group date. Like we said, we’re exhausted.

Our POC highlight of the week goes to Kristin Hopkins! She’s a fellow attorney and practical queen (she wore a shower cap during last week’s date with the paint throwing!) She did not get enough screen time this season, and we hope to see you on a beach soon, Kristin!
