We’re going to talk about Temptation Island, which I finally got around to this weekend. And I’ll give you my early thoughts if you don’t want to know you might have to fast forward and then there is a little rant coming and then a celebrity wedding that I guess I didn’t know about until literally yesterday of who the woman was in this relationship and we went to all that momentarily it’s podcast.

Let’s get started with the wonky schedule we have this week, heading out of town Wednesday, not coming back till next Tuesday. And when I’m out of town, like I’ve always said, it’s just.
A lot more difficult. Takes me longer to record an episode and upload it just because I’m on my laptop and not in front of my desktop. I’m using hotel Wi Fi’s. I have to record into my phone. The sound quality has always been fine to me. And I think it’s been to a lot of you. Nobody’s really said like, oh my gosh, the sound quality when you’re on the road is terrible.
No, it really hasn’t been. It just takes me longer because I’m on my Windows God, what’s the name of that? Laptop surface pro. Yeah. I surface pro just takes longer. And the other thing is when you’re out and you’re on vacation, you know, the last thing you want to do is have to record late at night. So I’m trying to minimize because I am gone Wednesday through Tuesday, which means I have to record.
When two episodes, Wednesday night, two episodes, Thursday night, two episodes, Sunday night, two episodes, Monday night, all on the road. So what I’m trying to do is minimize how many I have to do while I’m on the road. I’m going to have two daily roundups recorded. Both with women named Jackie slash Jacqueline Jacqueline Trumbull is going to be on the podcast Wednesday for the daily roundup.
And it’s going over love is blind and the women tell all because her and I have differing an opinion, a differing opinion on Carolina and her role on the bachelor this year. Not crazy where we’re differing on the opinion, but two people that are able to have a normal discussion about something that you disagree on.
And then Jackie Maroney from she’s all batch is going to be on the podcast. I believe that is going to be the daily roundup on Thursday. Yeah. So Jacqueline will come Wednesday on the daily roundup. Jackie Maroney will be on the daily roundup on Thursday. I don’t know who my guest is going to be, my weekly guest, is going to be on Thursday, and that’s part of my rant, which I’ll get to in a little bit.
And then Friday might have to be a regular recording from my hotel room, both the daily roundup and the sports daily. So we’ll have to see. One of these, I’d like to get Friday recorded as well, so I don’t have to record Thursday night in Las Vegas. It is possible I could move Jacqueline to the Thursday daily roundup and make Jackie Friday’s daily roundup.
It is possible I do that and then I just record, you know, Tuesday night here. If I can’t basically find another person to record with for Friday’s podcast, I’ll probably do that. Because I know I have to record at least one sports daily. Thursday night I got to record the sports daily to talk about what happened on Thursday in the tournament.
So That’s probably what I’ll do. So I just wanted to lay that out there for everybody, just to give you a heads up. I just like having stuff in the can for when I’m on the road. Now
the bachelor overnights are tonight grants season. We know that they’re in the Dominican Republic and he’s with Latia and Juliana and Zoe and all three women, just like. All three women on Joey’s season met up with, remember they met up with Golden, Sandra and Susan met up with those women, Kelsey and Daisy, and then Maria.
No, not Maria. Duh. She finished fourth. Rachel. Remember how they met them? Well, for tonight’s episode, you’re going to see Katie Bigger, you’re going to see Daisy, and you’re going to see Kelsey talk to the three women. I had it written down of which one, it’s in the press release, of which one talks to which girl, but I forget which one.
I think Katie talks, I think it’s Katie talks to Latia, and Daisy talks to Juliana, and Kelsey Talks to Zoe. I think that’s it, but I could be wrong. Don’t hold me to that. Anyway, overnight dates tonight in the Dominican Republic. I don’t know if tonight’s episode ends with a. Rose ceremony. It probably will.
It will probably, we will probably see Zoe go home tonight since we know they already did the women tell all, and they’re not doing the women tell all in between overnights and final rose ceremony. So we probably will see Zoe go home tonight. It’s just a matter of how they show it. Nothing new on my front in terms of anything I’ve heard of if.
I was going to call him Joey, if Grant and Juliana are still together, I have not heard anything. I know everyone’s got their opinions. We will talk to Jackie Maroney about that this week. And look, if you’re just going off social media. And you have nothing else to base it on, I guess you could say, yeah, they probably do seem like they’re broken up because it does seem like Juliana is happy as a clam and posting every day and she wouldn’t be posting every day if she was on a happy couple visit with him and then obviously taking grants facial expressions at the end of the women tell all last week, everybody’s just convinced that they have since broken up and I don’t know.
I really don’t. I’ll try and find out in this next week. Okay. I can’t guarantee anything. It’s much easier to find out what happened on the final day of filming and to find out who somebody chose than it is to find out, Oh, well that was back in November. What has happened since then? Because that is a lot tougher.
Sometimes I’ve been able to find out detail for detail exactly what has happened since filming ended. And sometimes I haven’t. It’s hit or miss. Every single season. There’s no rhyme or reason to it. If I find anything out in the next week, I will tell you, but yes, I will be out of town next week for the finale and probably a good chance.
There won’t be a column next Tuesday, but there will be obviously a daily roundup next Monday and Tuesday for sure. But yeah, it’s just been, it’s just been a crazy, crazy week. It’s going to be a crazy, crazy week. And I just get a little bit, this is the only time, like I’ve always told you, my job is not very stressful at all.
It’s tedious. And it’s a lot of talking and a lot of recording every night. You know, I wouldn’t call it hard work. I put in a lot of effort to these podcasts. I don’t just turn on a microphone and just go willy nilly and just wing it. I have notes. I have bullet points that I want to hit in every podcast, but doesn’t.
When, when I’m on the road, it’s just different because I’m basically not in tune with my regular daily routine when I’m here back at home, especially during March Madness Week where Thursday and Friday, I’m literally going to be watching college basketball for 12 hours a day. I’m really not going to be caring what’s going on in bachelor nation.
Sure. I’ll scroll my phone and I’ll see things pop up, but it’s just, I’m going to miss some stuff this weekend. That’s for sure. I’ll just not be able to hear every story. I try and keep up as best as I can, but there’s no guarantee for that. All right. Last week I said, you know what, as much as I love temptation Island, and I turn it on to you guys every single season.
And I tell you to go watch it for the last six seasons. It’s been on the USA network, but this year Netflix picked it up and Netflix did something different than USA. USA aired one episode a week. Netflix dropped all 10 episodes last Wednesday. And I was like, I’ll get to a couple. This weekend I’ll watch a couple on the plane this week, probably finish it by next week.
Yeah, I finished six of the 10 episodes, literally all yesterday. So yeah, I had college basketball on in the background because I was so enamored with this show. It sucked me in like it always does. And it is an absolute train wreck once again. And again, I’ve got to give all the credit in the world. We make fun of Jesse Palmer.
We make fun of Chris Harrison. We make fun of a lot of the hosts of reality TV because we feel like they just don’t add much to the show. That couldn’t be more opposite when it comes to Temptation Island. Because Mark Wahlberg, Mark L. Wahlberg, not Marky Mark, even though the contestants call him Marky Mark when he shows up, Mark Wahlberg has been, in my opinion, and This isn’t just coming out of left field.
I’m not blowing smoke up anybody’s ass. I tell Mark this every time he comes on my podcast when Temptation Island season is airing. I tell him he’s the best reality show host out there because he cares about the contestants and they actually give him a bigger role. The advice that he gives either during the day or at the bonfires, I think a lot of us sit there and just nod our heads and are like, yeah.
Exactly. This is exactly what this person needs to hear in this moment. He’s empathetic. He comes at them when he feels like they’re being disingenuous. And he’s also like a caring father to them as well. He’s the best out there. And yes, Mark is going to be on the podcast soon. I just told him over the weekend.
I said, I want to, I want to have you on after I’ve watched the whole season. Normally in the past, I had them on at the beginning of the season to preview it. But now that they dropped the whole season at once, I’m like, let me watch the whole season and I’ll have you on. He’s like, no problem. I will say this, this season is a shit show.
I haven’t even gotten to the end. I don’t know what happens, but I don’t have a lot of hope for a lot of these people. You know, in the six seasons, I believe there’s only two couples that are even still together of the four couples that show up on the island every year. So that’s 24 couples. They’re literally either one for 24 or two for 24.
So. The odds of coming out of this in a successful relationship are slim and none, and we know why it’s because this isn’t a normal thing to do when two people in a relationship are at a crossroads in your relationship. You don’t go to an island to spend a month away from each other to be tempted by hot singles.
No, you would normally just go see a counselor or talk it out yourselves, maybe open a form of communication that hasn’t been opened before. You don’t go to an island to be tempted by a bunch of hot people. So just the whole basic premise of the show is just wrong to begin with. Hence the reason why none of them ever, none of them ever work out.
And so many of them end up cheating. Not going to give away any spoilers for this season. If you haven’t watched, just know it’s very good. It’s very salacious and. I really enjoyed it and I think Mark again just knocks it out of the park. He is the best reality show host out there in terms of, plus they, he, he probably has the biggest job as well.
As I mentioned, like they give him, he’s part of this show. He’s not just a talking head to keep a game show moving along. He’s there as basically a therapist. He’s absolutely outstanding this season. I think he’s doing some of his best work now. I said to you, I want to have Mark on soon and I have to go through Netflix to do it.
And here is my mini rant. We had Lauren on the podcast from love is blind two weeks ago when I first reached out to Netflix or when I first reached out to Lauren and said, can I get you on the podcast? She put me in touch with the Netflix PR people and the first thing they wrote back was big fans and I said, great, love to have Lauren on responded to my emails all the time.
And when I even wrote back, Hey, would love to have a working relationship in the future to have your contestants on. I’ve told you this already, right? I told you they said, yes, we’d love to. After I had Lauren on last week, I asked for Monica. I asked for Kylie and Brian, the engaged couple that did not get shown.
I asked for Madison. Contacted Madison myself. She absolutely wanted to do it. She said she only wanted to do two more after the Caitlin podcast. Well, here’s the thing. I knew that Madison was going on the Caitlin podcast and Caitlin had exclusivity to Madison. So I could not record with Madison until her being on Caitlin’s podcast aired.
Well, we know that it aired. So now I was like, okay, let’s, let’s do this. And she said, absolutely. I want to do this. I’ve been in touch with Madison and we’ve been going back and forth. She had said, yes, let’s do this. And I said, Hey, you know, on Friday I was like, Hey, I’ve put in the request. Haven’t heard back.
So I got with Madison over the weekend and I said, Hey, I don’t know what to do. They aren’t responding. She said, let my, let me, she goes, email my manager. My manager will email them and CCU. So the manager for Madison. Messages the PR person I’ve been dealing with and then the man and then the PR person finally responds back to Madison’s manager that I happen to be cc’d on and says, this interview request has been denied.
Thanks for the understanding. It’s like, why are you thanking me for the understanding? I don’t understand why this interview request was denied. So within literally five seconds of receiving that email, I responded back. Hey, did I do something wrong? I don’t understand why this request was denied. And then I asked, I Am I just not being able to get Madison or I can’t have anybody else from the show?
No response so Fucking frustrating and then no reason why whatsoever none. I I don’t know what to tell you
