Show notes

Will and Rider have entered into a sacred bond with Season 20 of “Married at First Sight,” and now they’re taking their relationship to the next level: recapping three episodes at once.The "therapy speak” fatigue has hit our hosts, and they no longer see nor hear the “framework” and “philosophy” that Shawn is constantly talking about.
They’re VERY impressed with how Tori has handled Felipe’s uncertainty about monogamy, especially given her past experience with infidelity. So kudos to her.
Plus, Adam’s over the top outfits lead to a heated discussion on “the ick” and if it’s ever possible to move forward after experiencing it.
Buckle up for a Family Size edition of Pod Meets Twirl’d: All or Nothing!
