Well, it’s finally here. Can’t say I ever thought Colton Underwood would be on the podcast, but he is today for podcast #195. And I’m glad he is. It’s a loooong discussion (over 2 hrs), that goes in chronological order of his appearances in the franchise. From Becca’s season, to BIP 5, to his “Bachelor” season, then post-show – we cover it all.

A throwback today to where it all started on Alex Michel’s season as Shannon Oliver (Robinson) joins us this week. If you didn’t watch the show back then, or didn’t see her during the GOAT episode a couple weeks ago, it shouldn’t matter. Her story is great. From all the stuff she tells us about how different the show was back then to what’s happened in her life over the last few years, I’m telling you, it’s one of my favorite podcasts ever. Everyone’s got a story, and just because Shannon is someone who isn’t on your radar or most of you who only started watching the show in the last few years, doesn’t mean her story isn’t as interesting. It definitely is. Hope you … Continue reading →
