Bad Vegan? Bad Boyfriend! Apr 07, 2022

Show notes

The classic love story: Woman meets disgusting man who steals her money. The twist? She makes tree nut cheese. Devin and Carolina talk the red flag of eating only raw food, setting up the iconic Hilaria Baldwin and Alec Baldwin only to be rewarded with a con artist who draws stick figures, and the confusion between fear and love. They also discuss dating multiple people at once (revolutionary) and how doing puzzles is a humble brag that you aren’t worried about having sex.

Devin reviews Deep Water, the vehicle that gave us the Affleck/de Armas fling that got us through some tough times. Then, Devin and Carolina commence their final (for real this time) discussion of Love is Blind Season 2! They cover the bachelor and bachelorette parties, the quandary of what men do for fun, how anyone could “trust the process” of the pods, the roller coaster of Danielle’s self-sabotaging behavior, the weddings, and THAT ICONIC MOMENT WHERE DEEPTI LEAVES SHAKE! Finally, they touch on the reunion and Shake’s attempts to be the Spencer Pratt of this universe, Kyle’s new piercings, and why Vanessa Lachey needs some Andy Cohen lessons.

Reality Romance: Love is Blind Season 2 (Pt. 3) Mar 17, 2022

Show notes

Devin and Carolina continue their coverage of Love is Blind season 2! They find Danielle’s nonsensical narratives relatable and then discover the root of all those narratives… in Danielle’s mom. They find out that Shayne’s only non-negotiable for his wedding is that he be allowed to wear a cape and that is… truly remarkable. They also cover Kyle becoming more attractive when he tells Shaina’s family that he doesn’t believe in Heaven, Shake being the worst type of guy to met your parents and of COURSE the meeting heard round the world (Chicago for some reason) between Shaina in her giant hat and Shayne in his wedding ring.

Reality Romance: Love is Blind Season 2 (Pt. 1) Feb 24, 2022

Show notes

Love? She is blind. That is the topic of today’s episode, where Devin and Carolina analyze a foolproof dating method: Nick and Vanessa Lachey put you in pod, you talk to strangers over a period of one hour or two years, nobody knows, and you propose to someone who doesn’t believe in evolution! The ladies discuss everything from episodes 1 and 2 (more to come) including the Genesis of SHAYNE, the show’s phenomenon of wall hugging, what happened to the other contestants (were they Squid Game’d?), Sal’s operatic range, Shake’s heinous questions and more.
