Episode 99 - Charity's Men, Season 20 Part 2 13.06.2023

On this week's episode we judge the hell out of the second 12 of Charity's men and I give my predictions of the final 8 and then final 4. We have a broad spectrum of men this year with, again, a lot of abs and fitness buffs. But who do I think will make it? Tune in to find out and also judge for yourself! Intro music www.bensound.com "Happy Rock"

Episode 98 - Charity's Men, Season 20, Part 1 07.06.2023

This week I get back to a little Bachelor content as I start analyzing and judging Charity's men based on their ABC Bachelor profile and their Instagram accounts. Who do I think will go home early and why, who has villain potential and who will go to the end. Join me won't you as I judge the first 13 of Charity's men! Intro Music www.bensound.com "Happy Rock"

Episode 97 - Love is Blind recap with co-host Allie Sprink and some Taylor Swift vibes 31.05.2023

On this week's episode Allie joins me once again. We're doing a second half of the season recap for Love is Blind, but also getting all the details about Allie's big weekend with my niece Grace and their Taylor Swift concert experience. It's a bit of a freestyle episode taking the conversation as it comes, so join us won't you as I have another good chat with Allie. Intro Music...

Episode 96 - Freestyle reverse interview with Allie & friends about my 25th wedding anniversary trip & more! 18.05.2023

I've skipped a couple weeks of podcast episodes because my husband and I took a 25th wedding anniversary trip. On today's episode you will learn all about that trip. Allie is joined by a couple of her friends to interview ME about where we went and how it was (AMAZING is the answer to that question). But before that interview begins you get to be privy to a casual conversation about many r...

Episode 95 - Rose Interview with my good friend Stephanie Mueller 26.04.2023

This week I take a break from recapping Love is Blind to interview my good friend Steph, with another Rose interview. I've kept some of the same questions but have also updated the question list with quite a few new questions as well! What are the three things Steph would take to a deserted island, how did she win Woman of the Year, who is the one person in the world she would love to have cof...

Episode 94 - First male recap guest EVER! - Love is Blind episode 5 recap (kinda) with Caleb Davis 19.04.2023

On this week's episode you are in for a treat! I have the one and only storytelling KING, Caleb Davis! Who is Caleb Davis? Well, you will definitely find out by tuning in to this week's episode. Caleb and I have joked about doing a podcast together for years, and maybe it's not our own podcast, but it certainly is an entertaining episode. Yes, we recap episode 5 of Love is Blind, a sho...

Episode 93 - Love is Blind episodes 3 & 4 Recap with Allie 12.04.2023

On this week's episode Allie joins me once again as we recap episodes 3 & 4 of Love is Blind. The engagements and reveals are completed and the Mexico stays begin. We get some mean girl action and some ick action. We have our favorites and our least favorites, that's for sure. We have chemistry couples and no chemistry couples and we make no secret about what we think of Micah and Idin...

Episode 92 - Love is Blind recap episode 1 & 2 with Allie 05.04.2023

My special guest this week is one of your favorites...my beautiful daughter Allie. While she's home for Easter from the big city, we watched the first two episodes of season 4 of Love is Blind. However we start the episode off by learning a little bit more about what is new in Allie's life and job (lots of plugs present). Then, after our LIB recap, I spill a tiny bit of Bachelor tea about...

Episode 91 - Zach's Finale Recap with Julie 29.03.2023

This week, Julie joins me once again to recap Zach's finale and ATFR. We discuss Ariel and our love for all everything she does. We break down Gabi's experience and all the ways in which Zach just doesn't seem to know when to stop. Also, what do we think will happen with Kaity and Zach? We give our angle on the Sean Lowe parallels and even our initial thoughts on Charity's little B...

Episode 90 - Zach's Fantasy Suite Recap - Sex, No Sex, Kinda Sex Week 21.03.2023

On my 90th episode I break down one of the most awkward fantasy suite date episodes to date. I have some major opinions on how this whole week went down. Why do I think Zach felt he needed to handle it the way he did, why did he feel the need to ruin Kaity's date, go back on his word to Gabi, or even make this decision when he clearly didn't think it through. We also officially have the mo...

Episode 89 - Hometowns and Women Tell All Recap with Allie and Lara 16.03.2023

I've got an extra special episode this week as I bring in TWO guests/cohosts to help me recap TWO episodes.  This week I welcome Allie and her friend/co-worker Lara.  Lara is a long time Bachelor watcher and even though Allie hasn't watched much of this season, she's watch enough seasons prior to be able to give unbiased opinions on these episodes as well.  Being New Yorkers, find o...

Episode 88: Bachelor Recap - The fake crying episode 07.03.2023

On this week's episode we whittle the girls down to four...the four that will have hometowns.  On our way there we have the worst cry acting that a lead has ever produced.  I give lots of opinions of Zach's performances, all of which seem like he's getting a bit big for his britches.  We get two one on one's with one girl being sent home without a tear from one of them, and we get a...

Episode 87 - Bachelor Recap - If the shoe fits, lace that B@#%@ up! 28.02.2023

On this week's recap of Zach's 6th episode we get a bit of forced drama.  We get lots of crying about one on one's and a seemingly out of nowhere ballsy move by Kat that gets her a bit of a villain edit this week.  Will it last?  After tonight we are down to the final 6.  Find out what I think about the drama that actually wasn't and who do I think is going to win?  Join me won't you as I recap th...

Episode 86: Bachelor recap with Miranda, aka @the.bohemian.hair.artist 21.02.2023

On this week's episode I have a special guest co-host.  You have heard her before on my podcast when she did one of my Rose interviews with me.  My hair stylist Miranda Calmes joins me again to recap tonight's Bachelor episode.  Find out what we thought of the covid plotline, who are we rooting for, who do we want to go home, what about that Pretty Woman date, and just exactly what...

Episode 85 - Bachelor Recap - Oh no, not Instagram followers!! 14.02.2023

On this week's Bachelor recap I give my take on how this season is going so far and how Zach is striking me as the Bachelor.  The show pushes back on Instagram followers once again and proves they will not change their mind on this.  We have ATV's, snorkeling, and lots of asking permission for kisses.  Join me won't you as I recap Zach's episode 4. Intro Music  www.bensound.com...

Episode 84: Bachelor Recap, cohosted with Julie, with the biggest surprise in Bachelor history 07.02.2023

On this week's episode I have a special guest cohosting and recapping with me...my friend Julie.  I'm in MO and on a whim asked Julie if it suited her to get together, watch us some Bachelor and record and recap episode.  It suited her!!  But, when we decided to do this episode together, neither one of us had any idea that the franchise would throw us for such a loop!  Tonight...

Episode 83 - Rose interview with Kelly Echard 02.02.2023

This episode is very special to me.  On this special edition of the podcast I talk with Kelly Echard, Bachelor 26 Clayton Echard's mom.  Not only does Kelly share some perspective of being the mom of a lead on the most iconic dating show on TV, but we also get to know Kelly herself, separate from being the "mom of The Bachelor".  Had she watched the Bachelor before Clayton's season,...

Episode 82: Bachelor recap - I hate you, JK 31.01.2023

On episode 2 of Zach's season we get the start of mansion living and the girls dating life with Zach.  Along with cringy dance moves, cringy kisses, and cringy conversations, we also get to see Tahz (from BIP) turn into a villain for a wholee 2 minutes, we get a helicopter ride "over the mansion", and some great Cat face play.  Join me won't you as we recap episode 2 of Zach's season. In...

Episode 81 - Zach's Premiere Recap 24.01.2023

Zach's season has arrived and we finally get to meet Zach's girls, and well, let's be realistic, meet Zach too.  There's a lot of girls that know what they are doing and know what they signed up for this season.  I start off by going over who I have picked as my top 6, top 4 and who have the most villain potential.  Am I on track?  You'll have to tune in to see.  Join me,...

Episode 80: Zach's Season - Player analysis (Second 15 girls) 19.01.2023

On this week's second episode, I break down the second set of 15 players from Zach's season.  There is villain potential, America's sweetheart potential, and everything in between.  One thing is for sure, these girls know social media and I have a feeling that many of them know the game.  Join me won't you as we figure out who will give for the right reason vibes and who will give t...

Episode 79: Zach's Season - Player analysis (First 15 girls) 17.01.2023

We are back on Bachelor content as season 27 of The Bachelor is only about a week away.  Today I dive into the first 15 players on Zach's season.  I look at both the girls' ABC bio as well as analyze and go through each girl's Instagram account.  Join me won't you as I give my opinions on who may go far, who may be the villain, and who looks to have a future in the Bachelor franchis...

Episode 78: Rose interview with Becky Hunt 11.01.2023

Today's episode is the last rose interview before I start back into Bachelor content.  On this episode we get to know Becky who is my very good friend from Missouri, but also my first cousin, so we have literally known each other our entire lives.  I can also count on being cheered up when I talk to Becky because somehow we always find ourselves laughing when we're together.  This i...

Episode 77 - Rose interview with Miranda Calmes 04.01.2023

On this week's rose interview, we get to know my hair stylist Miranda Calmes.  She is gorgeous both inside and out and she is a blessing to me because she KNOWS CURLY HAIR (and that's hard to find).  Miranda shares a lot about herself (wait until you hear her "dog" voice), gives us some fantastic advise (best beauty hack yet), exposes all with her physical insecurity (this one is funny),...

Episode 76: Rose Interview with Allie Sprink 29.12.2022

My off season rose interviews continues this week with an interview of my daughter, Allie Sprink.  You have heard from Allie before when she has helped me with Bachelor recaps, but this time we get more in depth and learn even more about her.  What body insecurity does she struggle with, what is her favorite blush, what does she do day to day at her new job, what is her favorite (and une...

Episode 75: My second "rose" interview - Get to know Dawn Meyer 13.12.2022

On this week's "Rose Interview", we get to know Dawn Meyer.  Dawn is an influencer from Indiana, but she is so much more than an influencer.  Dawn shares so many life experiences, beauty hacks, book recommendations, and so much more.  She is well traveled, articulate and such a joy to talk to.  Learn her hack for droopy eye lids, her favorite "can't live without" beauty product...
