BONUS: of That Darn Cast - Treasure Island!
October 06, 2018 14:01 - 55 minutes - 40.3 MBHey, JJ Bach Show Fans! Jeff here. Wanted to share with you the pilot for a new show I'm working on in between Bachelor seasons with my wife McKenna - she's the one whose band provided our theme music for the show. We're going on a live action Disney adventure, combing through the back catalog of Disney's live action feature films, with the help of our local library. In the premiere, we start at the beginning with 1950's Treasure Island, but we plan on skipping around the decades and explor...
Everything and Nothing At Once
August 14, 2018 02:52 - 1 hour - 52.5 MBI was super proud of that sage wisdom that closes out our first season and gives our finale episode its name, until I realized that it's a transposed Superchunk lyric I had kicking around in my brain. Oh well, I bet Garrett stole that whole eagles thing from somewhere too. Ah, the inevitable conclusion! Jeff and Joe try to rationalize and not judge Becca's final choice, but probably do anyway. The general weirdness of this biannual love triangle ritual is picked apart a little, the Instagram...
Two Guys Talking Conspiracy Theories in the Dark While Drinking Lukewarm Beers
August 06, 2018 03:22 - 1 hour - 53.4 MB...I kid! The beers were still cold. Joe's a quality host with a well-insulated fridge. We go "unplugged" this week to take you into the home stretch, talking about the Fantasy Suites in the most genteel terms we can muster, wondering how Colton manages to be so unsympathetic on Men Tell All, and ... oh yeah, Jeff goes all Alex Jones on how the show's producers may be manipulating REALITY ITSELF to spice up an otherwise inevitable season. Shortly after that, Joe leaves Jeff alone at the mic ...
We Need To Talk About Colton
July 23, 2018 10:47 - 1 hour - 53.5 MBWe give equal time to all four hometown dates, until we have to reckon with the not one but two incredibly awkward codas given to Colton's run on this show. Are these some of the most blatantly staged moments in the show's history? In the case of the latter, how badly do we want to believe that Chris Harrison was caught off guard in giving some sex ed fundamentals? But it's not all Colton all the time! We've got meditations on the nebulous definition of "values", the baby steps this show is ...
Turning into a BoJack Horseman Podcast
July 16, 2018 03:26 - 1 hour - 50.2 MBWe're back after a holiday break to cover the epic journey from 9 guys down to 4. And by epic, I mean mostly predictable. We talk about the lack of surprises, how the show could still surprise us both this season and next, and handicap the rest of the season. Also, apparently BoJack Horseman is the one show we've both watched besides this one, so we come back to that a lot - hope you've seen it too, or the last ten minutes of this one might get confusing? I blame the initial mention of Mr. P...
Hot Desert Bath
June 30, 2018 21:12 - 1 hour - 49.8 MBKind of remarkable that every season doesn't have a Vegas episode, when you really think about it... This week, we talk about how the producers are clearly gaslighting us with Colton's storyline, wonder where all the helicopters have gone and why they've been replaced with awkward songwriting dates, marvel at Chris' emotional meltdown, and say a fond farewell to the silliest Bachelorette feud in recent memory. Also, a weird sidebar about Jeff's grudges from middle school band camp! Tunes, a...
Country Tunes and Sports Metaphors
June 25, 2018 02:23 - 1 hour - 50 MBThis week, we watch a lovely date between a lovely lady and a guy that not even the camera knows is a jerk, sample the sounds of modern country, and Joe breaks down in precise detail one of the show's most excruciating self-destruction sequences ever while Jeff interjects some sports jargon that he only 70% understands but has heard an awful lot. Hey, we're on iTunes, or Apple Podcasts, or whatever it's called these days. Go on there to rate and review us, and watch us rocket up the charts! ...
Weeks Two and Three, Abridged For Your Convenience!
June 18, 2018 01:01 - 1 hour - 52.6 MBWe're back! After a week's hiatus from the podcast studio/guest bedroom, we return to tackle the monumental task of bringing you up to speed on two weeks and four hours of The Bachelorette. ... it's actually not that monumental a task. They should really edit that show more concisely! But we get into it all - the relay races, the sporting contests, the one on one dates, and of course, the greatest Dude Feud in show history, David and Jordan. Then things get real heavy as we contemplate how a...
Doing The Damn Thing
June 03, 2018 20:33 - 1 hour - 48.4 MBIt's a new season, and a new start for the Jeff and Joe Bachelor podcasting project. We're here to cover what surely has to be the beginning of the end of this reality TV franchise to see what tricks they have left to keep our interest. Topics covered: limo entrances, the guys with the goods to go the distance, Jordan's fashion corner, the requisite drama, the swift exit of Pet... I mean, Jake, and the tragic demise of Grocer Joe from Chicago. Music: "Dummy", by Ponchos From Peru (unreleas...
