Friend of the pod Arden Myrin joined us for our first rom-com rewatch of the holiday season! We dove into 1994 classic “Four Weddings and a Funeral,” starring Hugh Grant and his slutty little glasses alongside Andie MacDowell, Kristin Scott Thomas, John Hannah and Simon Callow. Somehow the movie manages to work, despite the fact that the central love story is thinly-rendered and unremarkable, and despite the fact that Grant’s Charles is kind of the biggest villain in the film???

Since we have to wait a few months before we watch Taylor Frankie Paul’s season of “The Bachelorette,” we decided to take matters into our own hands and google the 26 potential men who will compete for her heart! What we found are a bunch of scruffy-faced, cowboy-adjacent men of faith. But a few of them had some shockingly fascinating backstories – including one who has deep ties to former Republican Congressman Madison Cawthorn.

The two-hour “Golden Bachelor” finale actually did bring Mel’s soporific journey to a relatively dramatic conclusion. In large part, this was thanks to Cindy, whose refusal to stay on the field like a good little football player and continue to compete for Mel’s (begrudgingly offered) companionship finally unleashed some real emotion in Mel. And that emotion? Anger and disdain. But this leaves Peg, whose more laidback approach to commitment and peppy personality proved to be a better fit for him Maybe there’s hope for a happy ending for this analytically minded guy after all!

OG Golden Bachelor Gerry Turner’s new memoir is here! “Golden Years: What I’ve Learned from Love, Loss, and Reality TV,” dives into Gerry’s early life and career, as well as his marriage to his beloved Toni. But the lion’s share of the memoir is focused on “The Golden Bachelor”: his casting, the experience of filming, the women he met along the journey, the cursed Golden Wedding, and, of course, all of the ways in which his relationship with Theresa Nist was seemingly doomed from the jump. We go into the memoir’s juiciest claims and explore why Gerry still seems to feel so much bitterness towards his now ex-wife.

Season 9 of “Love Is Blind” has finally come to a close, complete with an outdoor concert and some warmed-over revelations about post-filming shenanigans. This reunion featured a not-so-surprising surprise baby, new partner reveals, and a lot of half-hearted rehashing of heartbreaks the cast has long moved on from. We discuss it all, and offer our final Friends and Enemies rankings.

It’s Women Tell All time! Or at least… women tell… some? OG Golden Gal Leslie Fhima joined us to break down the incredibly tepid drama between the “Golden” season 2 crew. We saw Nicolle get called out in a very direct and measured way, some real audience love for Cheryl and Debbie, an extended Jared Freid cameo, Mel wearing greige, and yet no real accountability or explanation for The Lemon Bars Incident. Unacceptable.

Mel has three “great” women left, and it’s time to jet off to their hometowns: Las Vegas with Peg, Denver with Debbie, and Austin with Cindy. This tour of the metropolises of the American West may be exciting, but Mel remains stolidly underwhelmed. He meets the women’s families, and offers their daughters and siblings lukewarm reassurances about how he “likes” their loved one, specifically her “personality” or “energy.” But, he insists, he’s not ready to say he’s falling for any of them. Are we running out of time for Mel to level up? And how badly does he wish he’d never come to this cursed show?
