‘Bachelorette’ S21e3: The Main Thing w/ Tess Barker

In week 3 of Grant’s “Bachelor” season, we’re learning more about his unique interests: day trading, dogs, freestyling about private jets, and nurturing women. But which woman is the MOST nurturing? And how will Detective Grant figure it out? By the powers of girl math, we may never know. We also discuss the cultural (and political) impact of the soft girl TikTok trend and her male alter ego: the meme-stock-trading, sports-gambling crypto bro.  To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

It’s week 2 of Grant’s “Bachelor” journey and this man is definitely is NOT on television to advance his music career. If he showed up with a suitcase full of legal pads covered in song lyrics, that’s just because he loves expressing his emotions! Plus, the women are still writing Mrs. Ellis on their backs. And they’re never ever going to stop.

The Bachelor has arrived at the mansion, and so has a no-drama llama who is destined to be disappointed. In “The Bachelor” season 29 premiere, Grant meets 25 beautiful women who *will* make great mothers and *do* love tiny neck scarves. And he’s just looking for love – if, by love, you mean a flower, a kiss, a hug, and a conversation. Will these women be able to give him the love, and family, he’s looking for? Plus, we discuss Grant’s burgeoning music career. (By this, we mean the mysterious single that suddenly dropped out of nowhere, titled “Party Girls.”) To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

We finally got New York City hometown hero Jeremy Simon, one of Jenn Tran’s final four, on the pod! We discussed his time on Jenn’s season, his thoughts on the Devin of it all, and what he thinks we can expect from our next Bachelor, Grant Ellis. (Plus, we obviously had to ask him about his AirBNB… which is named Morning Wood.) And we couldn’t let another day go by without discussing the absolutely baffling social rollout of Matt James and Rachael Kirkconnell’s abrupt breakup. After some rank theorizing about what happened with the seemingly happy couple, we discuss Christina Mandrell’s long-awaited wedding to Brayden Bowers – announced with yet another fake-out styled shoot.

We’ve got 6 New Yorkers, 5 health care workers, 4 women who aspire to have marriages like their parents have, 3 women with totally superfluous vowels in their names that make them very Googleable, 2 women with the last name Gupta, and approximately 0 body diversity. But hey – at least there are a handful of women over the age of 30? And they’re all looking for one thing: a man who isn’t a giant liar.
