Episode 043 :: Becca Is All About That Conch

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!

Episode 042 :: The Complicated Nature of Layer Cake

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!)

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!

Episode 041 :: Two Men... One Date... Zero Brain Cells (It's the 2-on-1!)

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).

Episode 039 :: "And The Emmy Goes To... Richard Marx!"

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.

So much to talk about!

All this and oh so much more on this episode of Bro Before Rose! (See, it's just "Bro" because there's only one dude.)

Episode 038 :: "You Can't Throw A Dodgeball With Your Heart"

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 14, Episode Two)

In this second episode of the season, we find that we were wrong about SO many of the assumptions and judgements we made after the first episode.

When the recap starts (at the 18:20 mark, Amber!), you'll hear things like...

• Jeff calling Jean Blanc every Jean name except the right one (Jean Paul, Jean Luc, Jean Valjean...)
• All of us changing our minds about Lincoln!
• How excited we aren't to see Bryan with Rachael again!
• Us learning the true meaning of, "Turn down for what!"
• Us decide that David is NOT as articulate with his words as he believes himself to be!
• Matt & Stacy's 8 month old daughter Violet try her hand at podcasting for the very first time!

"Although we've come... to the end of the road... still I can't let go..." Boyz II Men

Well, we came to the end of the road for this season, but after what we just saw, we're pretty glad to let go! The title pretty much sums it up! After a season of rooting for Rachel and believing in her, she really just ended up letting us down!

• Our thoughts on the Fantasy Dorm Room that Peter and Rachel shared!
• How cooking bacon without a shirt is dangerous!
• The point at which we realized that the producers had duped us into watching the finale and After the Final Rose at the same time!
• Why Rachel was wearing chainmail to the final Rose Ceremony.
• How we think Eric looks better with a beard!
• The point at which we realized that Rachel is being questionable.
• The point at which we all completely abandoned Team Rachel!
• Our belief that Peter was not only completely justified in his beliefs, but that he was possibly the only rational person ever to be on this show!
• Why we're so excited for Bachelor in Paradise!

Episode 019 :: The Gong Show! (aka - Awkward Family Therapy)

Recap of The Bachelorette (Season 13, Episode Eight)

All four of us in a room recording together again! It's so wonderful... until it gets super awkward on one of the Home Town Dates!!! Matt and Jeff and Shara and Stacy (when she's awake!) chime in on one of the most awkward moments in Bachelor history and come to realizations like...

- A former Bachelorette contestant (who just went home LAST WEEK!) is one of our Fans of the Week!

- Eric thinks so highly of himself that he gave himself the nickname, "E-Bigger!"

- It's good to explain to people what you mean when you tell them you love them.

- We still don't like Brian.

- Or Eric. (Sorry... that's E-Bigger.)

- Brian's mom is cray-cray!

- Rachel doesn't realize that Brian's mom is serious when she threatens to kill her!

- Peter may have been adopted.

- We visit Dean's dad for no good reason and put him through a horrific experience that doesn't belong on this show.

- Rachel makes the first decision that makes us question whether we like her.

- We're VERY excited for the return of Bachelor in Paradise!
