Recap of Bachelor in Paradise (Season 5, Episodes Six & Seven) In this moment in Bachelor history, Leo took the cake as the worst person to disgrace the franchise and we were there to provide color commentary on the whole thing! (Matt and Shara even have a new single to commemorate the moment!)  In other news, we stop liking Venmo John so much, Chelsea continues to whine about being lonely, Jordan shows that he's more than just our clown, Analeightse (or however you spell it) allows herself to be defined by desperation, Jenna acts like a 13 year old girl and we continue to love Grocery Joe! On top of all of that, we announce the launch of our new podcast, Nerdy Pop! (Follow us on IG @nerdypopshow!) We have exciting things planned!!! More to come! Episode recap begins at 31:05!

Recap of Bachelor in Paradise (Season 5, Episodes Four & Five) Another BiP marathon this week and we're here to cover every moment of it in our longest episode ever! (We think. We didn't bother to actually check.) From Tia whining about Colton, to Colton being unsure about Tia, to Tia crying over Colton, to Colton wondering if he should be with Tia, to Tia deciding that she for sure wants to be with Colton even after Raven shows up and tries to ruin things. (That's SO Raven!) Mostly though, we're just sad for poor Grocery Joe. (Come on, Kendall! Make better decisions!) And Matt learns what "long dog" means. In addition to all that, we wrap up our Dollar Drive (though you can always Venmo us money @brosbeforerose), respond to some emails and laugh like little girls. Finally, this episode (and maybe the whole year of Bachelor shows?) are brought to you by The Edgar Allen Poe Estate! Episode recap begins at 36:25!

Recap of Bachelor in Paradise (Season 5, Episodes Two & Three) Four hours of BiP??? Holy moly, we've got a lot to get through! But the Bros are here for you and this week we deliver commentary on all the crazy BiP antics! Here are just a few of the questions we address this week: Can you both dislike Colton and agree with him at the same time? What is 3BD? (Hint: It's a newly-diagnosed disorder specific to BiP!) How many ridiculous ways can you misspell Analeighsee? (That's one of them!) Is "The Goose" going to continue to be a thing? Can't we just send him home? How do you say "crazy" in Japanese? Exactly how many "looks" does Jordan have? How does one clap their hands with their eyes? What's the point of a jock strap? Which BiP male contestant (!) seems to be showing off a whale-tail at one point??? How did Mr. Rogers get dragged into the Bachelor franchise? Finally... did Jordan just give the greatest monologue in Bachelor history??? ALSO... don't forget to support our podcast by sending ONE DOLLAR (

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Ten) Jeff and Shara are back and so is some dude named Christian who was wearing capri pants with his tuxedo! (WHAT?!?!?)

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Nine) It's another "Bro Before Rose" episode this week! While Jeff and Shara are out of town (RIP), we brought in some ringers to round out the panel with Matt and Stacy. Guests Aubree Vanderhoeven (who runs the Bros social media) and Bekie Barnes (Matt's Bachelor-obsessed cousin) helped to take a boring episode of TV and turn it into a thoroughly entertaining podcast!  This week, we're in Thailand (don't pretend you know where that is on the globe!) for Fantasy Suites Week with the final three! We watched as ABC filled 100% of the time of a regular episode with 30% of the content! Don't worry though... we had a blast tearing this episode apart and getting into some of the deeper issues of this season! Episode review begins at 36:30!

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Seven) First, let's say "RIP Jeff!" Yes... this is another episode of Bro Before Rose as Jeff is on a quest to discover the true meaning of layer cake. The latest episode of The Bachelorette takes us all the way to the Bahamas (decidedly better than Virginia) so we can see Becca squeeze as much innuendo out of the word "conch" as is humanly possible. Plus, we discuss leg-wraps, Shara shares her own euphemisms (egg plants and slotted spoons?) and we all continue to ponder the metaphor of the layer cake! Episode review begins at 27:12!

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Six) Let's just start with an apology. We're (kinda) sorry for the insanity of this episode! Everything goes off the rails pretty quickly and we can only hope that you'll laugh as much as we did! As for this episode of The Bachelorette, we're in Virginia (why?) and Chris and Lincoln are HUGE idiots. And... that pretty much sums it up! Not only that, but a listener review sends Jeff down a path we never quite recover from as we do a deep dive into the metaphor of the four of us as a layer cake. (Again... sorry!) Episode review begins at 30:00! All this and oh so much more on this episode of Bros Before Rose!  PS... Jeff really only had like 1/2 a glass of wine and was definitely not drunk. We were just joking in case anyone cares! PPS... Here's the link to that YouTube video we were talking about... https://youtu.be/jltKnDlH_OA Leave iTunes Reviews, subscribe and more!!!

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Five) Before we get to the recap (which begins at exactly the 30:00 mark!), we explain why our episodes are as long as they are and explore Jeff's hatred of abbreviated and/or combined words. We read and respond to some emails and laugh a lot and then we talk about The Bachelorette! IT'S THE 2-ON-1!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're in Las Vegas this week and, even on this season's slashed budget (thanks, Ralph!), we manage to have a little fun! (Very little.) The real news though is that Wayne Newton challenges the guys to write songs and they're horrible; Chris is a whiny baby who should have been sent home; Jordan isn't as bad as some may have thought (though still dumb as a sack of hammers) and David is the worst. Oh yeah... and we take a moment (or two) to acknowledge the millions of people (and brands) suffering from BFD (Blurry Face Disorder).

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Four) Jeff is back and the girls got their own microphones! It's a big week around Bros Before Rose and we've got LOTS to discuss! Things like... Ashley I and Jared got engaged! Bekah M. and Tia fought on Twitter! Lincoln was in the news (and it wasn't good)! How Garrett got the first leg-wrap of the season and it lasted six whole seconds! Jordan speaks incomprehensible nonsense! The truly terrifying disease known as BFD. All this and oh so much more on this episode of Bros Before Rose!  Leave iTunes Reviews, subscribe and more!!!

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Three) Richard Effing Marx. What else is there to say? Okay, fine. We'll say more. In this episode, Jeff is missing so Matt is a lone bro discovering what it means to be a Wilhelmina model who wears nail polish and got 4,000 matches on Tinder in 2017 alone. Fortunately, Stacy and Shara were along for the ride to help him out until politics got in the way and an SNL sketch featuring Donald Trump and Kim Jong-Un going on a group date interrupted our regular programming.
