Texas Broke The Internet

I know we said last week that we're going to be uploading on Tuesdays now, but we're also recording on Tuesdays and the entire state of Texas lost internet all day on Tuesday, so we had to reschedule. But here we are! And so are several men that we don't like that our lovely Bachelorette, Jenn, has the misfortune of picking from!
But first; Share Time! Laura tells a tale of how stupid people are in her local community Facebook group, Stephanie discovers the incredible Lifetime show "Gypsy Rose: Life After Lock Up" and we discuss how she and others have handled her media attention since being freed, and Tyler makes an apology for weird shit that happened in last weeks episode that couldn't be fixed, but hopefully are fixed this week!
Then it's on to Jenn's introduction to all the men on this season of The Bachelorette and how few of them are actually likeable people. Who are the lucky few? Who goes home? What kind of predictions do we make after one episode? Tune in and find out!

Nothing But Tangents

QUICK NOTE: Episodes will now be released on Tuesdays. We explain why in the episode.
To be honest, we forgot to plan something for this episode. So this one is ALLLLLL Share Time!
I can't even really map out what we talked about because it mostly just tangent after tangent with a very loose structure of who's turn it is guide the conversation. Just some nice conversation between three friends who haven't seen each other in about a week and a half and catching up what we've been up to.
We'll be back to talking reality TV next week with The Bachelor and Big Brother, but hopefully you enjoy a nice, cozy conversation this week.

Squirrel!

It's time for another movie we love that Tyler hasn't seen! This week we watched Saved!
For Share Time, Laura talks about her family letting her dog terrorize/play tag with a squirrel and also shows some adorable pictures of her dog (check out the YouTube video for some adorableness), Stephanie tells about a restaurant she went to called Darkside Pizza that we all fall in love with and even plugs the owner's YouTube channel, and Tyler goes on yet another rant about rude customers and their misplaced sense of entitlement.
Then we get into Saved!, including Laura and Stephanie having a revelation about it despite having seen it numerous times. And we get Tyler's thoughts on his first time viewing it as well as get into several tangents, mostly about the show Weeds.

A Little Ditty 'Bout Jack and Diane

We're back! We missed a week because our original plan for the episode didn't feel like it would go well, so we regrouped and went a different route and decided to make Tyler watch movies he hasn't seen until our shows come back. This week, it's Sugar And Spice!
But first! It's Share Time! Laura finally breaks down and gives The Handmaid's Tale a chance after a lot of hesitation (justifiably so), Stephanie talks about the Summerhouse reunion, and Tyler has no idea what to talk about because he accidentally overslept and was still trying to wake up in the recording, but manages to talk about seafood that he ate before Laura tries to give a hand and talk about the Red Sox beating the Phillies. Then finally, we get into Sugar And Spice. Did Tyler like the movie? Which girl do we see ourselves and each other as? Tune in and find out!

BACHELORETTE MEN REVEAL: The Gang's All Here

The world decided to surprise us with the men Jenn will be dating on this season of The Bachelorette AND it happened on a day we're recording! So we threw Vanderpump Rules and The Valley out the window and decided to focus on something MUCH more interesting.
But first, Share Time! Laura discusses her newest binge watch; Seventh Heaven and how it doesn't necessarily age well, but it definitely aged hilariously, Stephanie tells us about how good both versions of Summerhouse are right now and how much she recommends them both, and Tyler teases one of the Netflix documentaries he watched this week called American Nightmare and the wild tale that it focuses on.
Then its time for another fun-filled roast of the men of this season of the Bachelorette! Who do we like? Who do we hate? Who's the predetermined winner of OUR hearts and who gives us the creeps? Give a listen or a watch and find out!

We're Sober This Time

Laura and Tyler are back again because everybody's taking turns getting sick apparently and we can't have our usual three person podcast anymore. But this time we're sober and we don't ramble on for three hours!
We DO however ramble a little bit during Laura's share time which starts with her talking about watching Scream Queens, but its not the one she thought she was going to watch and somehow made its way into Laura's experience with the Saw franchise and how the first one is apparently "unholy". Then Tyler congratulates the three of us as a podcast and thanks you lovely listeners for crossing 1000 downloads a few weeks ago and how he kept forgetting to bring it up over the last few episodes.
This week's Vanderpump was probably the best episode of the season so far and it's a damn reunion episode?!? We only have one episode left and we talk about what we think of the future of the show and some of it's cast members. Speaking of one episode left, it's also the penultimate episode of The Valley, which Laura hasn't watched in a couple weeks. So Tyler stumbles his way through recapping the important parts of last week for her and then this week's episode while also wishing he hadn't been watching it. Then it's the Survivor finale! Which is one show we've actually enjoyed this season of and we give our thoughts on who's the villain, who won/deserved to win, and Laura catches us up on some of the drama that's happened after filming.

Short And Sweet

Laura wasn't feeling well, so it's a Stephanie and Tyler episode this week! And it's surprisingly tangent free, so it made for a pretty short episode, especially compared to last week's.
Share time starts with Stephanie talking about her new Housewives binge and this time it's The Real Housewives of Miami and it's WAY better than Salt Lake City! Then Tyler simply laments the Texas heat and how it's only going to get worse.
We're only at part one of three of The Vanderpump Rules reunion and we're already wondering why it needs to be three parts, so that pretty much sums up how well that went. Then it's off to The Valley where it feels like things are finally starting to happen only for it to end at the good part YET AGAIN and probably won't even resolve well, just like every other cliffhanger this season. Survivor, as always, is the most entertaining of our shows and this week definitely didn't disappoint. And then between Tyler's awful memory and Stephanie being the only one smart enough to give up on the show, we stumble our way through recapping the EXTREMELY predictable finale of The Amazing Race and yet again pray that this is the end of the 90 minute episodes they've forced upon us.

Welcome To The Drunkcast

Laura and Tyler decided to keep Laura's birthday/graduation party going into this episode and had a drunkcast this week! Stephanie took the week off because she was definitely in need of a break, so we kept the party going!
Share Time starts with Laura talking about how her friends and family threw her a surprise birthday/graduation party after almost two months of not talking to her and Tyler talks about an unwelcomed guest into his apartment.
Then we take a long deep dive into this finale of Vanderpump Rules and talk about how possibly this whole Sandoval redemption arch was edited last minute with three short lines at the end of the episode and our reunion predictions. We're about ready to give up on The Valley because we think Bravo doesn't even believe in it. Followed by more simply prideful/greedy moves in Survivor leading to another elimination. Then we end on an extremely obscure baseball related episode of The Amazing Race that leads to a very funny deep dive for Laura and Tyler based off of old, fat, retired baseball players.

The Vanilla Coke Incident

Sorry for the late episode! Tyler forgot he didn't finish editing, but at least you're getting an episode just the same.
For Share Time, Laura tells us an epic tale about how drinking Vanilla Coke went horribly wrong for her. Stephanie watched The Idea of You and that leads us down a road of both One Direction, fan-fiction, and nepotism in Hollywood. And because Tyler both didn't prepare anything AND wanted to get on with the episode rather than go down yet another tangent, he simply holds up his coffee mug and lets you know that the Mothman believes in you.
Then its another recap of this weeks shows. We're still pretty over this really weird season of Vanderpump and everybody trying to make Tom Sandoval look like a good guy. The Valley was also pretty boring and it feels like they did a another cliffhanger for yet another wasted fight and, to EVERYONE'S surprise, Jax is kind of an ass. Survivor had one of the best moments in reality TV we'd seen in a while, corporate sponsorship be damned, and surprisingly kept the whole 90 minutes interesting rather than a bunch of filler. The Amazing Race on the other hand did not. But hey, at least we're out of South America and into The Carribean.... which isn't that far away....

Better Moods, Shorter Episodes

Last week was too hectic for us to get a chance to record, but we're back this week! And the vibes are better than they were last time. And there's a little bit of cleverness to the title this weeks because we're in better moods and that made this episode shorter, but we also talk about how the fatigue of these 90 minute episodes is finally hitting more than just us, so shorter episodes would surely put EVERYONE in better moods!
But first, it's share time. Laura tells us about an awards show she got a chance to host recently. Stephanie briefly talks about watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, but then pulls a fast one on us and instead talks about the movie Late Night With The Devil and makes Laura have no interest in it. And Tyler talks about the dumb mistake he made this morning.
Then it's off to some actually pretty good episodes of both Vanderpump Rules and The Valley and who's currently getting on our nerves on those shows. Then its onto the chaos that was this week's Survivor which is finally showing that we don't need these longer episodes. The we finish off with another lackluster, predictable episode of The Amazing Race.
