The Horrors Persist (Crossover Ep): A Face in the Crowd

Quick edit: At 28 min, Sammi says "The Sound of Music." She meant "Singing in the Rain." In light of the recent censorship on behalf of ABC/Disney, we decided it was a good time to talk about some important movies and other pieces related to censorship and the media. Yes, we will likely return to Bachelor Nation, but not right now! For the time being, consider this a crossover episode into a new…

Soda Jerks: Fall 2025 Jilly Unboxing and Secret Lives of Mormon Wives, Season 2, Episodes 5-6 (and 7 a little)

OR, maybe they think more about being perceived as a villain in this age of social media scrutiny? Well, either way, we're onto the new season in just a few short weeks.…

Rose Plate Special: Bachelor in Paradise 2025, Episode 7

We've done lots of yapping, per usual, so let's cut to the chase. If you want to start witih the episode recap itself, go to that 10-minute mark. Here are some of the things we talk about this week: Alexe's statement What rendezvous means Clayton's cringe post The origin of his cringe post (we don't really get into, but it obviously came from what Rachel said) We also address FAFO parenting,…
