Bed Bach and Beyond

Welcome back listeners, this episode is very special because Emily introduces her Mom, Kathy, as guest co-host! She was hesitant, but as expected had lots to say.Mom usually tunes in at the end because she shuts the TV off when it's all the "drama with all the girls bein' mean", which is just about as Kathy as it gets. Em's mom is an angel and a caring, empathetic person just like Em so this episode went off without a hitch and lots of mom and daughter banter. We chat everything from finale, hometown reflections, Susie and Clayton's post show relationship, the army of strong women that taught Colto-CLAYTON some very important lessons, our love for Jesse, and everything in-between.Like mother like daughter, we only have sympathy and hope for everyone involved in this season...even the meathead himself. Oh, and Emily likes Rachel now! Enjoy BBsDISCLAIMER: Emily is no angel

Hi all! Mrs. Mrs. is back with us, and we chat about Fabletics complaints, the confusing two-on-one, the shopping (borrowing) date, NBC mandated couples therapy, BEING PERFORMATIVE, and of course....Hometowns. Plus lots in between! If you haven't gotten your review, get caught up on the rose shenanigans on Bed Bach and Beyond. Cheers to this season almost being over!!!

Hey ya'll!Kim and Em are back to catch up on thoughts of Clayton's season thus far. Don't know about anyone else but we've been a little bored with Clayton's season so far and figured we could sum up the drama in one big ole podcast. (Same length as usual lol).PS: Aubrey is married! Next time we talk to her she will be a Mrs! Until then, miss you Aubs, and enjoy this catch-up full of Kim and Emily bullshitting. Honestly though Kim is impressive with a roster for reference, notes, she on it! Tune in BB's! xoxo

Today's episode is super jam packed with awesome because we're wrapping up thought on Michelle's season, saying hello to Clayton's season (cue that meme of the lady on her knees breathing heavy trying to catch up) and we have a brand new guest co-host!!We are so happy to welcome Kim Alballat to #bedbachandbeyond for this podcast session and more in the future! Kim and Emily have been very close for about 5 years now, both coming from bartending background in NYC and becoming instant friends after being co-workers. We've seen it all...from each other, from complete strangers, from bosses...

Okay this title has multiple meanings okay...Court is in session because Emily needs to be TRIED for the amount of time that's passed since recording...

Stick to those three Golden rules as Martin stated... coughCHRIScoughSo Chris is officially star douche of this production, although Martin ended up coming in close second after putting his foot in his mouth later on at the cocktail party. Surprisingly Michelle decided to give him the benefit of the doubt, pinning a rose on Martin, and not Casey or Leroy. Bye Bye. Overall, this episode was awesome. Aside from petty drama mentioned above, Michelle is still kicking ass, and nothing gets by her. Two amazing one on one dates with profound conversations, insane chemistry, and food no one touched...and overall she has a great group of grounded guys that are calling bullshit right along side us.We were excited to record this one, enjoy BB's!

This episode was somewhat of a snoozer according to us, but a fun pod episode either way. We discuss Rick's gentle creepiness and bad kissing, Michelle's crippling self doubt in this episode, and of course...what it means to feel seen. Actually we might have not even gone over that. Pretty sure we got a definition of it all hour.

Spinning, puking, streaking and professing love. Ah, the fantastical world of bizzare Bachelor franchise dates. Michelle is still cool as a cucumber and surprisingly enough the guys are chill enough to protect her from learning about any pointless drama...but not chill enough to NOT create it. Miami Doughbois Will and Peter can't seem to just um...ignore eachother? Anddd Jamie has one of the quickest falls from grace of all time. Eww, Jamie!Join Aubrey & Em for the next hour and catch up on your Bach recap!

Welcome back one and all!We missed you bb's!!Oh what's that? It's only been like...two weeks??Aubrey and Em are back, in this one they break down the premiere episode as well as episode two. About an hour in we switch over. Michelle seems to not even be phased about her position, is already acting mature, kind of talks to everyone like a teacher, not sure how well that's gonna work, but guys we are on this ride and it ain't stopping. It's also wholesome af so far besides creepy note guy.Chances are if there's any emergency, Michelle will def be one of those teachers next to the lunch ladies that helps everyone jump out the exit door on the side of the bus though..so we're in good hands.xoxo

As our time commenting on hot people drinking on the beach together comes to a close, Aubrey and Emily want to thank everyone for listening and sharing Bed Bach & Beyond!The ladies share final thoughts on the season, the engagements, and looking forward to Michelle's season of the Bachelorette in a couple weeks.Cheers BBs and see you for the season premiere!

Hi! let's be honest the last two episodes were kind of low energy cuz like everyone's in love, there's no one for new contestants to date (??), and there's so many cast storylines it's hard to keep track.Aubrey and Emily go through the last two episodes and focus a lot on the confusing jumble of drama spilling over onto the beach from the hotel, and in combination with 50 storylines happening everyone's like girl what? At least Em and Aubrey were. Where's Tia and why is she so lost in the sauce? Why is Ivan actually a lame and then has to go to the principal's office with BartenderHostPrincipalWells? Do people actually like Aaron? Is anyone going to rescue James from Paradise? The world may never know.Also WHEN are people going to stop being thrown down the stairs like a gumball machine onto the beach?? Stay with us BB's because that three-hour episode had us all questioning our loyalty to Bach

Hey ya'll welcome welcome welcome welcome welcomeHope you enjoyed the last two live reacts! Always trying new things and seeing what works. Do we like the live reacts?This week Aub and Em are back together and it's always good times. This episode felt like an episode of Couples Therapy, kinda heavy, but a lot was covered and it was still fun. Natasha gets a second shot at love a first in BIP history, and for some reason Wells is still conducting rose ceremonies in his bar shirt. Love you don't change but actually please change the man's shirt that's all we ask. Or bring back Spade. Tami cries a literal river of tears before stealing a cupcake. Kendall bought a front row ticket with reclining seats in 3D for some reason to view her ex sucking face, all before leaving upset/Ivan couldn't read the room. By the end of this episode I think we all just needed a nice hug from Thomas.Enjoy!

We've got a live react fresh outta the oven from the humble abode of Renato and Aubrey. Join them as they react to Tuesday's episode in real time, together *cheesy clip of them holding hands on the couch...jk actually probably fighting over volume nevermind*For Em's live reaction, check it out exclusively on our new instagram @bedbachandbeyond on the IGTV tab! Bonus BB points for hitting up both! xoxoEnjoy!

We're splitting things up this week, so this episode covers only Monday's episode and that's okay because it was AH-LOT. Also the girls are back together for this one and it was a good time to reunite because wow TEA.They hit us the three dudes that have found themselves in a "pickle" as Demi so drunkly put it - Joe's situation, Kenny's situation, and BRENDAN'S which ends up being the big papa of them all because excuse me wtf. Don't wanna say Em told you so buttttt yeah and also again wtf. One of the craziest situations since BIP began!For your TUESDAY recap, check out the next podcast episode to hear Renato and Aubrey react LIVE from the midwest!Want Emily's recap? Show our instagram @bedbachandbeyond some love and catch her react LIVE as well on the east coast! Watchable now on our IGTV...also it's exclusive to the IG and won't be uploaded as a podcast episode.Double the listening, double the fun, get to it BB's!

We wanted to name this episode the face Kenny made when Mari interjected his "I'm now with Demi" speech before the cocktail party, but....can't do that. Instead just a reference to Deandra's bizarre jewelry drama *coughproducerscough*Anywho, the podcast is joined by another guest this week, Aubrey's fiancé Renato! It was only fitting we hit you with both of the dudes back to back. Aub and Renato discuss week 3 of BIP as newbies and we're here for it. Monday is first 30 minutes, Tuesday is the second.I think last week is the last double feature week? Who knows. Anything could happen in paradise.

Monday is covered first, then Tuesday chat starts around the 30 minute mark!Special episode this week....Emily is joined on the Bed Bach and Beyond podcast by Jason! Jason and Em have been dating four years and all the while bitching about what happens on every season on everything bachelor...so it's about time!Kind of had to twist his arm, kind of didn't...but his addition makes for a different type of convo with some couple banter which c'mon thats always super fun.We miss you Aubrey! Also apparently Jason retired after this 50 minute episode so obviously we're gonna need you back. (He'll be jealous of you next week).

Hi party people, get a drink umbrella and your blender out of your dusty ass cabinet...it's time for some frozen drinks, sandy make-outs, and salty tears!! Bachelor in Paradise is here and we are BLESSED to have David Spade. Don't you ever rip him away from us.Already so much fun breaking the first episode down, and Aubrey has never seen it at all let alone with CH!! Remember how we mentioned missing his formalities on Katie's season? Well I hope they threw them overboard for Paradise because that sh*t never belonged here!

Well we made it! Aubrey and Em go over the last episode of Katie's crazy season. By this point it's pretty much split between people that support Greg and people denouncing his toxic behavior. While no relationship or person is ever perfect, the ladies break down what about the last conversation the ex-couple had was troubling, especially after Greg confidently told the live audience multiple times that he had no regrets. Really? Not even one?

Possible trigger warning: emotional abuseSooo we can all agree we didn't think Monday's episode would go down quite like this. Aubrey and Emily discuss the first two hometown dates with Blake and Justin, and finish with lots of discussion about Greg of course and his exit from the show for good (we assume).This podcast episode touched on subjects relating to emotional abuse and personal experience, as well as discussing Katie and Greg's ultimate fall out conversation that went really downhill quickly, and the intense realizations that were made by both our wonderful lead and also the audience viewing it.This episode was hard for a lot of people to watch, so just know we get real nitty gritty about the feelings that were felt while watching. If you're one of the people confused about why so many people are upset with Greg, this may be informative to you.

Sorry y'all, this podcast was THREE episodes behind after taking a vacation last week and a recording didn't happen. Apologies! Em and Aubrey do a warp speed review of the remaining three episodes that needed commentary before hometowns next week (including the Tell-All!).So basically the episode that Connor leaves and literally everyone cries a river, the next episode that takes Andrew approximately 30 minutes to fully get in the Escalade (

Hi BB's! Aubrey and Em here. Blake makes his entrance as the guys cool off having Thomas out of the house. He proves himself a contender coming in smoothly and wisking off with Katie, while another deserving man gets a great one on one. Some dudes come off as tone deaf while others grow deeper with Katie and share more. Oh yeah and the first date dancing to a band no one knows happened! #textbookmomentThe ambulance promo has been showing this past week, there's always an ambulance promo. Did Bachelor actually have to call the wahmbulance?? Was it just promo bait?? Does Hunter explode with love?? I mean you probably know you watched the episode.

Hashtag #herefortherightreasons is still a thing that no one wants to shut up about, and there's two opposite sides when it comes to Katie needing help learning about contestant's intentions or not.Our girl pulls a good ole man swap that even we didn't see coming. And also has a pretty full on Game of Thrones esqe moment that closes out the episode like whaaaaaaaaat!?We also learn that Mike doesn't eat carbs (weird), Tre is good with words (cute), and Greg's just... Greg (ew)

Aubrey and Em chit chat and break down the third episode! The first half was like *surprised face* and then it was like *cringe face* and then when it like *happy crying face*...super in that order.We love a genuine One-on-One and we love a good "He interrupted my time" ...this episode had both!

They're baaaaaaaaack!Aubrey and Em join up for some laughs, sips, and an overview of Katie's first 2 episodes. Nothing says romance like a skin salesman! This season is pretty textbook so far, but things are just getting started...By the way both ladies were literally in bed while recording this time around, and it ended up being super comf, so let the literal Bed, Baching & Beyonding begin!

Emily is joined by Aubrey to share some closing thoughts on Matt's season, some bestie banter, and speculations of what two Bachelorettes will look like. It took us a while to get back on the mic because, as I'm sure listeners can also relate to, watching Matt's season unfold has been quite the ride and was something to process for everyone. What started off as something fun, exciting and overdue...ended up showcasing a whole butt load of racially insensitive activity and bias in quite a few areas over the course of his journey.We discuss the relationship that family plays in the closing episodes of every lead's season, as well as sentiments expressed in this description.As far as ATFR and the final conversations that we saw...we aren't in a place to discuss their how it was handled, or if any of the televised discussion landed because aren't directly effected by the pain this season has caused people. We encourage you, if you haven't already, to listen to BIPOC contestants former cast to get their take on how this season concluded. While it's not their job to educate us, if they're sharing their stories we need to listen. "The Blackchelor Pod", "Higher Learning" , and "2 Black Girls, 1 Rose" grace us with amazing recaps and perspective on the show as well.Thanks for tuning in BB's and we'll chat soon!xoxo

Amalia joins Emily again to go over the overnight dates. Fantasy Suites? Whatever. The latter seems cheesy and outdated but for some reason that verbiage comes back this season.The viewers are also shown a very intimate scene pretty much right off the bat that seemed exploitative to a degree, which we talk about. Matt's poise and maturity he shows through the conversation, as well choosing to air this scene in general, overshadows the franchises' poor storytelling choice. He shows Bachelor Nation how important it is to have clear and direct communication, something he's done many times, as he wades his way around yet another ignorant production mess that has been dumped in his way.We also chat about how the franchises' "storytelling" in general is starting to take things to far, especially this season, as we start to break down the final relationships Matt has and how they're being relayed to those watching as well as the lead himself.

"Are you there Bachelor Nation? It's me, Amalia."Amalia is back to co-host with Em for this one, as we break down the Women Tell All which left a lot to be desired. We get into all of it obviously! Matt shows up as well as his plus 1, a beard...and he addressed some of the women he sent home. Chris puts some of the favorites in the hot seat and a lot of footage is shared that we never saw. We were hoping they got into more nitty gritty, but maybe because of recent controversy they didn't? Either way, we take care of that for you.

Titled the Borchelor....because....we are bored with Matt and we have still learned nothing?But make no mistake, lots of great chats in this episode about exactly why we felt that way and what it could be stemming from. Em is joined by a guest co-host this week, Amalia! Aubrey and Emily have been friends with Amalia for years and it took her about five minutes to become obsessed with the Bachelor. We missed Aub, but it was fun to sit down with Mal and hear all her smarty pants thoughts!We spend a lot of time breaking down a lot of the overarching themes of all four "family visits" (cough moving through Lots 1-4 on the Nemacolin resort) and the issues we have with production not really showing us anything of value thus far from any of the final four women as well as Matt himself.

The first 30 minutes of this episode Aubrey and Em talk Chris Harrison and the controversy surrounding his Extra interview with Rachel Lindsay.This episode was so wild and fun to watch (Emily's favorite so far), and there was so much to cover. Off the bat Matt quite literally starts "cleaning house". One of our favorites goes home, some leave on their own accord, and by the end we're left with the most diverse final four in franchise history. We also discuss feeling like we're left wanting more from a lot of the relationships, one in particular...

For some reason for the first time in what seems like ever, a contestant has to drive herself around in a mini-van in heels.Matt also exhibits some unexpected 'I love you too" self control, while somehow the bullying energy hasn't completely been eliminated and the past weeks drama won't seem to die.By the way, the CH shit storm hadn't happened when we recorded this, so just know we're gonna be chugging that tea so hard it burns our throat next week. ☕️

Episode 5 recap with Aub & Em. Many things were purged both literally and emotionally this episode, and turns out Matt is catching hella feelings with well...pretty much everyone? True colors really showed this episode, and we're obviously all up in that. Listen and get all the wrap up!

So, a Bachelor franchise first...Matt meets 5 new women out of nowhere on episode 4. Obviously it stirs the pot.Em and Aubrey talk about Queen Katie's nobility, dynamic shifts, things getting ugly, and at the beginning there's some ramble about coffee and poop

Aubrey and Emily react as they watch together! This was a whirlwind of an episode, buckle up! Things get real for everyone, and tensions are at an all-time high in the house.

Aubrey and Emily dive into Episode 2 and the first One-on-One.Who's gonna tell Victoria to tuck in her black bra? Who's gonna help Matt wipe Sarah's highlighter off of his face? Anyone? Bueller?

Hi! Welcome! Meet Emily and her main co-host Aubrey, as we get going on the season 25 premiere.We're introduced to Matt James, the first black Bachelor (um long overdue), in his debut... as well as his slew of limo ladies. LFG!
