Grab your passport and Jenn's hand, she can make a bad boy good for the weekend! That's right lovers we are off to Melbourne, Australia to figure out if any of these men are good enough for Jenn! The jury is still out but thankfully I am joined by the amazing famous vegan chef and content creator, Lauren Toyota, who is all to ready to get in to it with me! Together we discuss the ways in which this season is a win with lots of room to grow, how toxic men weigh straight women down, the forced drama, and lastly the franchise lead to gay pipeline.
Big thanks to Lauren please follow her @hotforfood

We're back baby!! And I'm so JENNuinely excited for this season of The Bachelorette! As a day one Jenn stan I am living for the start of her journey and I couldn't wait to talk about night one with some one just as excited! In comes the delightful Tam Nguyen! Actress, creator, and recent Bachelor fan (y'all are going to die when you hear who her first season was!), Tam was ready to get in to all of the cultural importance, looks, and shitty dudes with me! We also speculate about the new changes to the structure of the show and wether Jenn ends up engaged, alone... or a secret third thing. Insert curious eye emoji.
Big thank you to Tam for being on and make sure you follow her at @cantbetam_ed

You're on a hike and you see a bear or 25 men about to be on reality television? Who do you choose? Well Shannon (from Do The Roses Align) and I attempt to get to know the men first via their ABC bios and sun signs before we decide. Tune in to see who we choose, which man is most likely to block me or get in beef with Nick Viall, and of course who will maybe one day come out. /joking

To close out this Pride2024 at Date Card Pod Industries, I asked long time friend of the pod and fellow gay bach peer, Justin Takes The Bach, to come on and play a fun game that we came up with! Bachelor Nation Superlatives ...but GAY! Who is most likely to come out one day, who is most likely to be the biggest ally ...and some more spicy ones in between. It must be said this is just us being two silly goofy gays and is in no way what we think is reality!!!!
Thank you Justin I adore you!!! Follow at @justintakesthebach

Pride is still in full swing and so I asked friend of the pod Mx. Lindz Amer of Queer Kids Stuff back on the pod to talk about the state of gays in reality tv and beyond! We also chat about their amazing web series geared towards creating safe, educational, and fun videos for LGBTQIA+ kids and their families!! Like Mister Rogers, but somehow gayer.
PLEASE take a second to check out their instagrams and consider supporting them in fundraising to bring back Queer Kids Stuff! @queerkidsstuff @mxlindz

The Bachelor franchise and the Pageantry world have had a long and rich history, one that makes sense on the surface. But when interrogated a little more the layers are quite fascinating...especially the gay layer. Because baby this is AMERICA and we have gay and trans Pageant Queens!! and !!gasp!! gay bachelor contestants! As god intended! And to here to discuss all of that and beyond, I'm joined by Sofi Miranda Fred - an open and proud lesbian Pageant Queen in Texas!
Huge thank you to Sofia and you can follow her @thetexasgrandmother and @misscarrollton

While we are on break from our usual polyamorous dating show (the bachelor) Olivia and I finally got to sit down and watch Couple To Throuple and dish about it! From the premise to the jealousy dynamics, and everything in between we get in to it and get frankly pretty deep.
Thank you Olivia make sure you follow her at @oliviazgphotography

In honor of Pride Month I have collaborated with myself to take advantage of...I mean celebrate... my own community by having a month of fruity podcast fun!! Starting off with my interview with the authors of the new book Here For The Wrong Reasons, Annabel Paulsen and Lydia Wang! It is a sapphic romance novel that takes place on the set of a Bachelor style dating show and ya'll it is EVERYTHING TO ME! It was so cool talk to them about queer themes in our fave show, the writing process, and their OWN friends to lovers tale. You can buy the book at the link below!!

Three years ago disgraced host of The Bachelor franchise, Chris Harrison, was fired for his racist outburst and subsequent insincere apologies. But in those years he has attempted to rewrite that time and his legacy. And with the impending reality of his new dating show and continued image rehab...Limi and I wanted to work on a timeline deep dive of what happened in 2021 and prior. In hopes that it would not be swept under the rug or misremembered. To hold space for what it was like during these intense moments, reflect on how we got there and here in 2024, and to ask the real question: was he actually fired or treated like a powerful rich white man?
