So you don't really need to have any conviction towards it. Okay, well, producers may have said, look, don't give away your weight or your haircut. Yeah, I don't want to say don't have any when you say that you're Asian

That's still quite a spectrum of what you might look sure Yeah, if you're in there and they should do this and you're in a wheelchair You might want to disclose that in the various discussions, you know, cuz you're getting to know Yeah, or I need to know if I got to drive you around in a van. I think I you know, because you're getting to know. Yeah, or just, you know, if I got to drive you around in a van, I think, I think that what the producers should do if there's somebody in a wheelchair is like, so, um, you know, we have lots of great medical equipment companies.

Imagine the reveal, you know, they show the shadow of the person behind. Oh my gosh it's so good to hear that music again. I love it. I can't even remember what it was. Oh it's Paul McCartney. Silly love songs. Yeah. And when you hear that music, you know that we're here to talk about our favorite show. But is it? It's hurt us in the past, but I'm

optimistic about season whatever. Seven. Of Netflix's Love is Blind. We are back in the pods. What is our rating system again? Blindfold Wow, we are a little right now. We're rusty. It's been a minute. Yeah, we're rusty But yeah, I'm optimistic about this season

We're gonna do the first two episodes for you guys for free and then The remainder of the season all the juice all the guts all the, all the hugs of the season will be at patreon.com slash another podcast network. So. And there's a lot of stuff back there. Salt Lake City is back there. For $5, for $5, think about this. You're gonna get the entire season of Love is Blind, season seven there.

You're going to get a show called Another Podcast Show where Dylan and I just talk about whatever's top of mind. And then Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. I don't even know how many shows I just listed there, but it's a lot. Dylan, did you lose your, here, Dill, this is what you gotta fiddle with. Fiddle with that black connector right there.

That's how you're gonna hear me in your microphone. God, this thing. Okay, can you hear me? This is fucking Kalen, man. Oh, Kalen. Yeah. Okay. I can hear you now. Anyway, so that's why you need to go to patreon.com slash another podcast network Yeah, get it done. Get it done people

so Season seven. Mm-hmm. Love is blind. Should we give our general thoughts? So I've watched ahead the first four episodes they dropped six on us last I watched ahead two minutes into the third episode because I just wanted to see Taylor and Garrett and I was smiling, I was so happy. I love the two of them so much. I love Taylor as much as I hate Leo. And I hate Leo a lot.

He's very hateable. Yeah, super hateable, you know? But yeah, general thoughts are we're excited for the season, don't know why they have to dump six episodes on America, who has that kind of time, who has families, most people who has jobs, most people so like- Ruby watched all six episodes. In a fervor at 1.5 speed. But yeah, give us three episodes, let us chew on it. You know, I miss, you know, not knowing what was going to happen to the people on the island of lost

and having to wait till next week. You know what I mean? That's right. What's the problem with that? I agree. Stay in our hearts. Stay in our minds. They must have a business model that tells them to drop six episodes. Tonnage, tonnage, tonnage, feed the hogs. You know what I mean? Yeah, I do. Oats. So I pointed this out on another podcast we did earlier today. I had always wanted more pod time. I felt like getting to whatever island vacation they showed up at was a little premature. I didn't understand why these people were saying,

I love you to one another. So I had advocated to show a little more pod time so I could see the relationships. That was when it was 37 minutes an episode, not an hour and four. They've gone too far. They've gone too far. I've watched four episodes and we're not even on plane yet. You know, listen, there can be good stuff that comes from the resort time. Remember F fucka?

Are you kidding? Fucka? Diamond. In the rough. Diamond, who came back for the reunion as a Street Fighter character and met a guy, I think, in a restaurant attached to a gas station. They got rid of that after the altar bullshit.

I think they learned the lesson with that. You can't film these idiots for two days and squeeze three episodes of portion. We're all driving to Buffalo to stay at an Airbnb and you suck down fucking grilled cheeses and I don't know, cry. While you try and mend past drama from your season of Love is Blind. But listen, we should mention that I'm very trepidatious moving into these seasons year after year after year. I always have my... Guard up?

Guard up. Because seasons past have been not good. We had the Lydia season, I think. That was your name, right? I mean, it was like, how could you have possibly done this? I mean, I think it's a prosecutable thing that Netflix did. I couldn't believe it. I mean, seriously. I thought when just two people were gonna basically helm the last four episodes of a season of Love is Mine,

I'm like, there's no way they're gonna just do this with two couples, and they did. Yeah, and the craziest thing about that season was, I think there were like three other couples there, but they just edited them all out. But this season I'm optimistic. I'd give this first episode probably like 79 boobs. 79 boyfriends.

Dylan, great casting I must say. Right out of the gate. I hate some people. I'm rooting for some people. That's good reality TV. Britney, she wants to name her first born Blaze. That's wonderful. I love Leo bragging about how he's filthy rich because everyone died. Where there's smoke, there's fire. How did your entire- And literally, like if you've seen Manchester by the Sea, you know, KCF like killed his entire family on accident, right?

I don't think Lillio, it was intent. That's what I'm thinking. Yeah. I love, I mean, the thing that started the fire was a kerosene message saying I'm taking over the business. So that's what burnt the whole thing. Oh, wow. Yeah. Yeah. I did a deep dive on Wikipedia. Oh, did you watch the movie? What Manchester by the Sea? Yeah, I did. Okay, because I just saw like the footage of him sitting on a boat looking lonely. Oh, it's an unbelievably sad movie. Yeah, it's about it. It's about a guy who's really down on his luck. You're like, wow, this guy's really bummed out. I

wonder what happened. And you know, he had a couple of guys over for poker and killed three of his children Geez. Yeah. Well anyway, um, alright, so Nick must have let Vanessa cut the trailer for This season because right in the middle of the first episode right out of the gate They they show us almost everything with the couples at the resort and whatnot you know never let her get near a bottle of peanut yeah yeah you know Vanessa's a bit of a drunk and when she's in the editing bay she kind of wields a pretty you know a scythe right and people are scared of her especially when she's drunk so big's a big Netflix producer there, Dyl.

Well, anyway, um... And we're kidding, Vanessa. Yeah, I don't like to know what happens. That's why I watch 14 hours of episodes to get to the resorts to know what happens. Anyway, wonderful start. Loved it. 14 blindfolds. Where do we begin? Let's just say, for my money, Dyl, there is no way to kick off a season of Love is Blind than an impromptu sing-along to There Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin Gaye. You just know it's gonna be good. So the season begins with I'm

scared because what if I catch feelings for somebody and she doesn't feel the same way about me. Which is like that's how you're gonna start the season like that's what that's the line that's gonna kick us off but then I think as a there was really no connection to that sentence and then the song but I believed it was kind of a narratively suggested as like a pick-me-up for any kind of pessimism over the process now Ain't About High Enough is one of the most perfect songs ever written, and it was sullied by this show, in fact. Because when Patrick and I went to the live reunion, which was four hours late to go live

and then never went live, the warm-up comic asked us to sing that song on our feet two to three times. So remember the Titans, all that stuff, almost seriously blemished by this show and that night. But yeah, we get a lot of stuff in the beginning. Okay, so a couple takeaways. So Boy Band and Tipsy show up and they welcome the participants. Okay, so Dylan, once again, I apologize. I I referenced this in another podcast. It's always fun when they put their occupations with the fancy little title before. It's to elevate their career status, I believe. For example, Tyler's occupation is nuclear security officer.

Feel free to call him a rent-a-cop. OK. Yeah. It's like an important rent-a-cop, though. It's not like, OK, so. It's like it's like an important rent a cop though. Uh-huh It's not like okay. So if you're a security guard and a 99 cent store Take goods and services of security Officer Yeah, and then like the more and more convoluted you go

That's when you get to the actual like blackwater mercenaries, right? But Tyler is just a guy who's probably trained who stands and I mean if you ever go to a gun range I mean the guys that work security at a gun range. I mean no joke. No joke I mean these guys are trained they got a lot of responsibility So it is the most glorious version of a mall cop that you can be but the cut that was a great guy Ron Oh, yeah, great. I loved it. All right new words are brought up you can be but that was a great guy Ron. Oh yeah great guy. Loved it. Alright new words are brought up, situation ships. I believe I've actually heard that before. Who hasn't? Well that was Yenny and then she sings the praises because she wants

her future relationship. She's gonna be a barbecue person by the way. Yeah. She sings the praises of Nick and Vanessa's enduring relationship and all I have to say to Yenny is you want to just stop by the house on Saturday night when Nick's dodging a bottle of the penal that's flying in his head, you know what I mean? I mean, you don't know what's behind those doors. It's unbelievable the velocity that Vanessa can get up to. And we're talking 40, 42, 44 miles an hour. It's very difficult to dodge that at close range.

That's right. And she's quick too. Fast on her feet. So fast. So Puffy and Tepsi say we certainly hope that you prove that love is blind because few ever have. Not a good batting average. Yeah, this experiment is, you know, I mean, I can't say the word anymore, but it's a very ridiculous experiment. Yeah, deeplyly flawed. I'd say, all right, I'm going to talk some shit here. You know, I don't like to talk about people's personal appearances. Garrett, he has that huge birthmark on his head. If I were him,

I would have gotten rid of that because you know what I'm saying? People are shallow, Dale. You're shallow. No, no, no, no. A nice girl goes on three dates with you and then she's got to listen to her friends chatting with her friends. So So Stacy that coffee stain on his forehead You're Stacy, yeah, yeah, you're Stacy. Yeah, right. Yeah, right. Exactly No, there's a lot of shallow things we could say Because love is blind is not and listen Patrick and I are in 10s we're not nines but love is Blind is not, and listen Patrick and I are in 10s, we're not 9s, but Love is Blind is not

known for casting the hottest people. This is a real experiment. This is a real cross-section of young America, okay? Not all of us can be too hot to handle. No, no, no. You know what I mean? We wouldn't want that. That would be Brettany. Yeah, so we've got some coffee stains on the faces here or there. I didn't even see that. I don't know what you're talking about. Oh, boy.

Yeah. It's got to be. It looks like Gorbachev. Oh, yeah. Yeah. But it's on the side of his head. Thank God. But he should have taken care of that.

You know what happened to Gorbachev? He's dead. Well, no. What caused the birthmark? Oh, god. of that. You know what happened in Gorbachev? Is dead. Well, no. What caused the birthmark? Oh, god. Are you going to say what happened? I don't know. I was asking you.

So we get some, you're too old. We get some deep questions about Trader Joe's. But our actual first conversation. If you don't mind, may I? Yes, of course. Discuss the Trader Joe's conversation. I believe that was between Leo, and a girl named Tara who will

Barbecue person. That's right. His question was, what's your favorite snack at Trader Joe's? I wanna say this about Trader Joe's. I frequent there quite a bit on Saturdays with my wife when we go grocery shopping. I look around that place and most of the customers are,

they look like they're gonna die. They're pasty, they're white, they're frail, but none of the food that's sold there is apparently helping I've talked about it so many times Trader Joe's is not a grocer. It's a place. It's a Willy Wonka snack shack Okay, there's no actual food there If you want to make a lasagna you have to go to a grocery store to get the ingredients if you want I don't know, fucking kimchi pancakes that are frozen, you can go to Trader Joe's. That's a snack. But the other thing about Trader Joe's that is absolutely revolting is the mandate from top down to be cheery, right?

So my wife was in Trader Joe's the other day and the cashier asked her if she would rather five million dollars or renewable energy for everybody and It's like I'll take the five million one stupid question Two don't ask me that question So I'm not a fan of Trader Joe's but anyways our first actual conversation starts with Ashley a and Tyler I don't know why they even had to have a distinction fan of Trader Joe's. But anyways, our first actual conversation starts with Ashley A and Tyler. I don't know why they even had to have a distinction. I know there was another girl named Ashley

there. It's a bit, it's a barbecue person though. She could have been edited out. Just call her, I don't know, Andrea. The other one. Yeah. I don't need the A. Call her a fucking, call her Gorbachev. Doesn't matter what you call her. She doesn't exist. So, Ashley A seems lovely. Mom had a bad picker.

And unfortunately, I think that she may be doomed to repeat the past because she sits down with Tyler. Now Tyler, I waffle on Tyler. Sometimes I think he's sweet, but there's something in the back of my head going, oh, I don't know. Well, here's my problem with them. Yeah.

When she asks what he's into, he says dogs and and hiking and then she claims that she's a foodie. Get out the measuring stick. Let's see how basic she is because it's pretty basic there, Dill. She's a marketing person and she's on a board for a non-profit that that part I didn't even understand. Very cool. The nervous line gets her a lot. He says, I'm nervous. She thought that was really cute. Don't let it hit you in the feels because I think it was a pickup line. I think it was a tactic.

We get to Dorca. This is the, this is, you know, between him and Leo, these are the two great antagonists of the season. That's right. So we always have an overconfident weirdo. Some of them make it beyond being a barbecue person. People who say things like, I think I would certainly impress your friends.

That's right. So if you don't say that with irony or some kind of linguistic context to soften how douchey that is, don't say it. But Nick is a douche, so he will say things like that. Yeah, I mean every lady called out for this. I mean there's a great speech, I think it happens in the second episode where Hannah walks in to tell Nick, I've never been talked to this way, he didn't seem troubled by it, but she said, you know everyone that I know

thinks you're a piece of shit. But I'm not convinced. He bristled. He did? Yeah, he definitely bristled Let's be a little brutal here pursuing sports is tough because there's a lot of failure. Oh, yeah I'm like a one-in-a-million shot, right? It's very very difficult and You have to get very lucky and you have to work very hard and when you are not lucky you

Work in real estate. That's right That's right. You know, I want to bust any bust any balls for any real estate people, but I always say that's like a lot of real estate agents that listen, maybe they've gotten a bad rap. I'm sure there are some you fall into is my point. Well, I mean, listen, I mean, you know, you know, car salespeople get get a bad rap. The woman I bought my Prius from was a lovely Hispanic mother of three. You know, there are good, there are good. I mean, she fucked me on the deal, you know, in the fine print. She's a rap, but there are good people in these professions.

What we're saying is this guy's a bit of a loser. And we wouldn't say that if he wasn't listen, if he turns out to be a good guy, which I highly doubt that's a possibility, even a possibility, we will walk that back. Okay, so Leo is interesting, has a skin flayer vibe. The guy who deals in art and says the word vast, regardless of whether or not it's coming out of his mouth to catch a woman or not, shouldn't work with a girl from West Virginia. I don't think that that's really going to work.

But the main thing is that he says that he's worried about being loved for his money. And I have written down, because I thought it was interesting, I said I really hope he doesn't bring up that fact in five minutes. And he did. Yes. So Dell during the conversation that you're discussing is the conversation between him and him. Yep. Yes. Now they like each other and he tells us at some point he says he's filthy rich and he doesn't want people to know that. So that's why he came on this show. You know, love is blind. They're not going to see how good looking he is and how rich he is. Except for the fact where he basically mentions it every five seconds.

Yeah. Now this is America will know this is what, how we should have played it. And America would love you for it. Once they found out, say you work at an art gallery and then you let her know once you're alone in the resort. Have an ounce of humility about it. Period. Here's how you play it. Don't talk about it. Okay? And also I never need to work again. Don't kill your entire family. That's a crazy thing to do. Allegedly. So Leo sits down next with Brittany. She seems to be quite the dumbass. Yeah I feel bad but she kind of it's kind of her fault based on everything that comes out of her mouth. Clearly she's she's been drawn to this

caricature right? This caricature, right? This caricature has become a way of life and it's become an identity. And while there may be some anxiety that results from committing your life to not being literate at the age of 30. Well, why'd she have to do that, Dylan? She's very, very attractive.

And all the famous people wanted to have sex with her, which I'd argue normally ends with a envelope on a nightstand that says, I'll see you in Chicago next time we're in town. Here's a thousand dollars. And she's wondering why her ass feels like she sat on a shampoo bottle. Am I? Okay.

Wondering why implies something very dark. So why'd you do that? Well, okay. They were partying. So why'd you do that? Well, okay, they're party knowing why is better still dark, but the scenario that you're painting is very, very, very dark. I gotta tell you, and I don't know if you just walked off that cliff by yourself, but you know, if you just walked off that cliff by yourself but you know why does my asshole that's so brutal you talked about quaping I apologize mmm yeah I'm gonna

do better but if you were having sex somebody and they disappeared gave you a thousand dollars she'd be like am I a whore I didn't think I was a whore Now that she is but all I'm saying is Yeah, she's very stupid and when you get to She is really stupid I hope there's something redeem. I think I think there's plenty redeemable about Brittany She she knows who she is. She owns who she is. I think she's funny and I think that she's she's honestly Listen very few people just give you themselves. You know, there are societal constructs to kind of protect ourselves from other people and it's really refreshing when people behave like Brittany. Just I'm a dumbass.

That's right. Yeah. And I just want money and I'm shallow. Exactly. So we're Team Brittany over here, if you couldn't tell. So the physicist is up next. The physicist is up next, Garrett and Taylor, Jean Taylor. She tore her ankle ligaments when she was younger, derailing her professional sports aspirations and I believe she has a master's in clean energy or something like that These two nerds are perfect for one another and honestly, I'm thinking let's get him out of the pods at the end of this episode

right because this is this is a wrap this is our Lauren and Barrett no Lauren. Lauren and Barrett. Barrett? I believe it was Barrett and Lauren. He was the robot and she was the beautiful black girl. Yeah. Oh, maybe it wasn't Barrett. No, it's not.

We just call him Robot the whole season. Yeah, we call him Robot. Yeah. I don't know his name. I think they're divorced now. Oh, really? I think so. Well, yes, Dylan, you touched on a very good point here,

which is that nerds, being a nerd and a fellow fellow nerd finding a nerd. It's a powerful thing. Well, okay, so Nerds who are just hobbyist nerds finding one another that's that's good because you have similar interests and What are you laughing at? Still, not where you said that big Brittany fans. We are. Man, this show always brings the end. This show always brings the kick. I'm not high or drunk. I'm unbelievably hot. Listen, so if nerds are hobbyists, then it's not going to be weird when there's a bunch of like flown a's people at your house until one o'clock in the morning screaming as though they're a wizard.

But intellectual nerds, like real science nerds. Yes. They can't be with someone like Brittany. It's just an impossibility. No. They just see too many colors. No. So I absolutely love Taylor and Garrett.

I'm excited to get to them in episode two and more of their relationship. I'm just a huge fan. Like I said, I fast forwarded to see them get together and it brought me great joy. All right, so next day we have Nick. Nick shares one of the more uncomfortable stories. He said that he was on this website.

I think, I can only glean it was probably an escrow website and the Russian prostitute told him that she hated his shirt So he'd need to send her 18 more rubles or something like that 18, huh? Yeah, and that's why he's cheap That's why he's wearing that ugly shirt today. Got it. Yeah, cuz some girl told him it was ugly You think I missed that part? Yeah, okay, it did. Yeah. Okay, so we get to Tim next Tim and Alex. She's big into astrology He has a lion tattoo on him, which is very stupid. It's like a Leo Let's not beat up on either too much because we've got a lot of brutal stuff incoming now

Both of her parents have MS It's it's an awful Syndrome I think or a disease. Um, uh, your favorite or dear Ruby Wren has it. So there's nothing to make light of, but two parents having it is pretty, I mean, don't buy any lottery tickets or maybe do. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. What I got out of this is how about that husband of his mother?

He said, Oh, Jesus Christ. You're going to walk on that cane all the time. Are you talking about when he attempted to pick her up? No, he left. He dumped her ass. Oh, I thought he dropped her. Oh, no, I think he took off. He's like, I can't handle this bullshit. And he left her, which I've heard before. Can you get in the comments and clarify this?

Because I thought that he was just being overconfident, and he tried to lift her up and he has MS too so he dropped No, no, no, no, they're not married. Both their parents got MS but they remarried other people and I think that's what I got and then the mother remarried this dude and once she started walking on a cane he says I'm out of here Oh, okay Yeah, you can hear their screeches like a cartoon of him peeling out of the driveway. Sure, yeah, yeah, like Wile E. Coyote or his foe. Who was the, was Speed Runner, Speed, what was his name?

That wasn't Bugs Bunny? No, who was the Road Runner? Road Runner, that's right. Who was the person that he chased after, or that chased him? Speedy Gonzalez? No, that was Mouse I think. But listen we'll do more Warner Brothers cartoons on our other properties. So even more upsetting than all that sad stuff with Ashley is both of Tim's sisters

passing and we'll get to stories of trying to remove jewelry from dead bodies later on. Hey, Dill, so I thought I got it wrong, but he does mention it and it was confirmed he had two sisters. Both of them are dead. Yeah. But he only shares the details for one. Right. We never, I never learned how the other sisters dead. Yeah, I mean, listen, I'm okay without it because it's just such a bummer. But yeah, hopefully we find out it's like fucking it's so sad. Why is it the people on the show? They lead with trauma and but but they have trauma. Like you know, Jax Taylor talking about trauma is,

he's in a coke fervor, right? Yeah, his trauma is he called his coke dealer, and the coke dealer changed his number, and he loses his mind. That's his trauma. Right. Other people have multiple family members that die of MS. Right.

Or, you know, they had five people die of cancer. Or, I mean, we've had people in the past where I think like I Think somebody got run over by a car. Oh, yeah Mm-hmm. And then like the aunt was in the other seat watching it. I think that was Jared He's also his best friend tried to stab him to death. Okay, so Garrett says that Taylor reminds him of Shrek. Now if there is an enduring love you can get over these hurdles right? If there is a real connection you can get over these hurdles. I think that guys are more guilty of making these kind of

snafus. Well she set a trap for him Dillon. See I know women. She said now that you know me name a movie that best describes me. And he made a mistake of describing their relationship, which is Shrek chases, is it Princess Daphne? I forget her name. The entire movie. And that's what he was trying to say is I'm chasing you. But he stepped in it.

What would you, what would you say to that question? That is a bit of a trap. That's very difficult. I'd say the notebook. Yeah, but that's too basic. No, I think that's worse than Shrek. Yeah, I mean, it's like, I wouldn't know how you answer that question. Aliens? Yeah. Oh. Yeah. Which one? I don't know. Yeah, that's a tough question.

Leo and Brittany. And here we go, Leo talking about how rich he is. She was a skater girl. Brittany is sad and nuts, I think maybe. When talking about pain, she says, I think, she said, I think about my mom dying. dying and then I'm like nothing's as bad as that. Is that what happened? She notes some kind of trauma. Well we're gonna listen. You don't listen to our We will of course always do a diligent a job as we possibly can but there's a lot of words. You know what I mean? There's a lot of things said. So get in the comments,

let us know. Well, if she said, when I'm in pain I think of my mom dying, let us know. Because that's a that's crazy. Right. So I think- I mean, not crazy, just crazy how sad that is. This is how, and I haven't seen what happens with them. This was the conversation that I think locked her into him. Self-admitted gold digger.

Once he started bragging that he was rich and she realized how shallow he was. Dude. She's like, that's my guy. Yeah, well, I mean, she goes, I could have married for money very easily a while ago and he says that's so reassuring to hear. How is that reassuring? And then she gets to naming children, Levi and blaze. Yeah. You know, she was gonna, that's the

child when she was dating the bass player for Def Leppard, that's what they were gonna name their kid, but then he had. Yeah, hey, Brittany, this is not Zoolander, okay? This is the real world, all right? So we can't be naming human beings that, because there's a lot of clerical work that goes into changing it to Andrew.

You know what I mean? Now, Dylan, right, later on, when he grows up, you know, I've mentioned this before. Sometimes being born good looking is the worst thing that ever happened to you. Being a solid six and a half or a seven is the way to go in life. Yeah.

You really, it fucks you up when people open doors for you. You gotta get really famous if you're gonna be like, like it's just a waste being like way too hot in the real world, right? You gotta make millions off of it. Otherwise it's just... I think that's what girls are doing now. They're like, hey, you know, I'm not always gonna be this hot in people's minds. But yeah. It's happening to us. I mean, there was a kid in the Valley who, I'm not gonna name

names, but I mean, he was like a Brando. He's like the hottest person anybody had ever seen. He was so beautiful. And he did some modeling and stuff. And he's a homeless person now. He's almost Yeah. See, see, we're talking about

tail as old as time. Tail. So it's time. When Evans next? Let's see, where are we? Is this where Leah and Hannah talk? Well, no, this is where Leah says that everybody got cancer. Oh, yeah. And then he goes on to brag.

Yeah. It's crazy how you can go. In episode two, we see, and who knows, all of the people on the show are, to some degree, are another conman. But when the guy who went to the Ukraine is talking about him going there, there's a real emotional weight to what he's talking about.

Did he also do the camel thing? The camel thing, yeah. Oh, that was the dumbest story I've ever heard in my life. It wasn't. It's actually a fascinating story and a really interesting story and I disagree. Oh but when Leo was talking about his entire family dying of cancer and Who knows if this is the editing but to quickly switch to the Rolex as fast and remorseless as he did is

I Don't know it it's concerning. It was pretty odd. Now I want to say this about him, actually about the entire cast. First off I love the casting this season, however everyone is super immature this season. Him, like if we meet these people in 10 years, like I think they could be different people. Uh, yeah. I mean, Leo's always going to be, I mean, Leo has. Yeah I think so too. So Nick D and Hannah, uh, these two want to be, um, Travis and Taylor. Um, which is, you know how like you're living in America and you're like, who watches Dr. Odyssey?

I've questioned that myself. There are these pockets of people and you wonder like who could like aspire to be like Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift, right? And we have it right here in front of us. Nick Dork says that he is more attractive than Travis Kelce, and that's not true at all. Travis Kelce is a massive, pretty handsome guy. So- He also says he kind of looks like Henry Cavill

from that Superman Returns movie. In a way I can see it, but like, less pronounced jawline, less British accent, much frizzier hair, and with like 45 pounds less of muscle. I thought it was about as egregious as that girl last season that said she looked like Megan Fox. Oh yeah. Keep talking.

Oh sure, okay, all right. Let's see here, oh they discuss being ugly kids. He tells her he can't wait to hold her. And he just smooth this the fuck out because Mr. Smooth is it's pretty fucking smooth. And a lot of the women except for Hannah apparently pick up on this and scratch him off the list. scratch him off the list. Yeah, no, the women hate him correctly. So, you know, women are the gender that can get physically overpowered by the other gender. So there's, I think that women have, you know, a certain sixth sense about people that men don't. And that's why, you know,

some people are worse at it than others, but that's why every single woman in the house, except for, and listen, I have family from pretty close to West Virginia. But let's listen. What are you going to say? I mean, listen. I think Hannah's very young.

I think she's a soft target. But every single other woman in the house knows this is a bad idea. Right. Okay? And they try and warn her. They do. They try to warn her.

And at this point, I wish she could see him, because if you saw the tears in the jeans and the oversized Mark Zuckerberg t-shirt, you would go, I'm glad I can see this. Now Hannah might be into that, so who knows? Do do do do do. Garrett and Taylor. Tells her he misses her.

Where is the bit, where does episode two start? Well, we're like probably five minutes away. Oh, okay, I have it written down next episode, okay. All right, so he tells her he misses her and she says she feels the same way. Right. You know, there's something that happens with this show on Love is Blind where, where I always wondered like where the connection happens. Like where is it where it turns from a conversation about, oh, you like avocados. I like avocados. To Mike. I like

you better. Oh, and I love you and it's usually just like something talking about something completely stupid And then some huge platitude about love sure. Yeah. Yeah, that happens quite a bit, right? well, what also happens is kind of navigating a fidelity to the process which is what's happening right here when Taylor Holds back her mother's name from Garrett, because it would be quite a tell. Now her mother's name is obviously like Ming or something.

Yeah. Right. But it's thong. What? It's thong. I know it's, it's thong. I thought it was with an S. I think it's thong. Get the comments. Well, maybe she said F. I thought she said S.

It's Fong. It's Fong. OK? But anyway, all right, so Del, I think we're going to agree on this. I wasn't sure where you were going to come down on this. OK. She does not.

She does a lot to hide the fact that she is Asian background. Mm-hmm. I think that's absolutely stupid. I think that it's a very principled, it's adhering to the principle of the process in a very honorable way, but the thing about this process is that it's a meaningless lab rat experiment. So you don't really need to have any conviction towards it. OK.

Well, producers may have said, look, don't give away your weight or your haircut. Yeah, I don't want to say don't have any. When you say that you're Asian, that's still quite a spectrum of what you might look like. Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you're in there, and they should do this,

and you're in a wheelchair, you might want to disclose that in the various discussions, you know, because you're getting to know one. I need to know if I got to drive you around in a wheelchair, you might want to disclose that in the various discussions, you know, cause you're getting to know one. I need to know if I got to drive you around in a van. I think that what the producers should do if there's somebody in a wheelchair is like, so, you know, we have lots of great medical equipment companies.

Imagine the reveal, you know how they show the shadow of the person behind. Yeah, that's and we didn't, uh, we didn't really discuss this, but, um, yeah, it does not work. We didn't really discuss this, but yeah, it does not work. And it was, yeah, anyways, that would be brutal. But listen, a lot of people are going through that and when I see that I get very sad and I'm so impressed by.

The strength. The strength of those people seriously though on a serious level but no what they should do is give the crippled contestant a rusty wheelchair so that you know at least the at least there's an opportunity for the person the partition, go, what's that squeak? You know what I mean? But if it's, if it's too new, it's too lubed up, it can skirt by completely. So anyways.

They need to do that. I love Taylor. I love Garrett. And dude, don't fuck this up and don't tell her that she's being calculated because she is absolutely gorgeous and absolutely brilliant and is gonna make you a very happy man. So. All right, so I'm sorry, who are we talking about?

Ashley and Tyler. Okay. Maybe I'm being too hard on the guy because in this segment he was actually really sweet. He made French toast with cream cheese and jelly, which is hardly cooking, but he also wrote English, which is why, do I love this guy? Do I love this guy? Mom got cut out of her family because I think her family

were racist pieces of shit. She married a black man and grandma passed away at one point. This was like, it's kind of like on The Bachelor, but it's very laughable on The Bachelor because it's done so early. They vomit up their trauma. That's right. This was like a pretty, there's so much real trauma. Like the psyche valves I think field for this on this show. So when he's talking about not being able to, not knowing how to console somebody who

was too young and feeling the guilt of that still and having the memories of his mother crying by herself with no one there to help her, that's a lot for us right now. I agree with that, Dylan. My only issue with this is the trauma bonding that's on display. They kind of skim past kind of the other important details. Like later on in the episode, it's like, oh, when's your birthday?

Yeah. Oh, I know your family burned in a car accident. Right, right, right. I don't even know what fucking month you were burning. Like, so let's start with, let's ease into this with the basics first. Yeah, Right, right, right. I don't even know what fucking month you were burning. Like, so let's start with, let's ease into this with the basics first. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. And then later, after we talk about our favorite movies,

we can talk about how your mom got pinned on the side of a highway and died. Yeah. So- You were Virgo. Yeah, let's start there. So Leo and Nick Dork face off a little bit But we have to get to Hannah and David or wait

It's his name. His name is Nick dork, right? I just call him Nick D. It's very obnoxious. Nick D the player. Mr. Smooth Okay, she tells him that she's had trouble because she's run into guys like him in the past and Hannah says that guys have just wanted to date her in the past because she's hot. Now Hannah comes off as like a very sweet bumpkin, you know what I mean? But I think like, who knows, maybe she is not aware of what she's doing. But there's also a world wherein the bumpkinness is covering up her kind of throwing little hints out there too. He's definitely, I mean for him to talk about bikinis

and her wearing bikinis the way that he did, he's clearly the, go ahead. Now hold on. Yeah. Later on she tells him she can't wait to have sex with him. She tells another guy that Leo. And then also him later. Sorry. At least two people which I'm not slouching or anything. I'm just saying they're both kind of throwing it out there. Right. I mean you got to get out of those pods. You can't be a barbecue person. No no no, you can't It's too undignified So is this where sorry jumping all over the place?

well, she breaks up with him and he goes in a complete panic mode and And fights but he doesn't fight hard enough We end with their breakup I think that he handles it much better than I thought he was gonna handle it. And in the next episode, we will, within 30 seconds, have them back in the pods talking to one another about how they're confused.

Well, not before the episode ends where Britt walks in and is like, oh, I was just talking to Leah. Yeah. Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't see you standing over there, Hanna. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Britt's pretty calculated. I can't wait to see how this goes. We're big fans of Brit. I'm an ally. Absolutely. Five stars, kind words. We're so excited for the show. It's our favorite show. Go to patreon.com session of the podcast network to hear the entire thing. We'll be back for

episode two. Uh, on the other side of this, entire thing. We'll be back for episode two. On the other side of this, we're gonna go record that right now. So that's coming right after very soon. We love you so, so much. Big hugs, big kisses. I'm Dylan saying goodbye. Pat, say goodbye.

Later, Nudes! You'd think that people would've had enough of a silly love song. But I look around me and I see it isn't so Some people want to build a world with silly love songs And what's wrong with that?
